And now, the bonfire with Big J. O'Kerson and Robert Kelly.
Do it?
Do I even matter?
What is that?
Yeah.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Christine.
It's your birthday and year 41.
Happy birthday, Christine.
Make sure you guys send her birthday wishes today.
And penis pictures.
She wants a penis, but with everything involved, not just the penis.
I think she wants butthole.
From behind.
And then from behind with balls and then penis hanging lower than the balls.
Yeah.
And she wants close up of the ariola.
If you, like, open the ariola.
I mean, not the ariola.
What's the P-hole called?
The P-hole.
No, what's it called?
Urethra.
Yeah.
Yeah, sorry.
Well, you can send a nipple picks.
You send nipple picks, too, if you want to go.
We should have collars.
Listeners send in nipple picks, and we have to guess if it's boy or girl.
That'd be a good one.
What?
Just the nipple, just the ariola, and we have to guess if it's boy or girl.
I think we're going to be all right on that one.
You don't know that.
You ever see a Filipino girl's nipple?
How about this?
Let's say who has a biggest dick contest, but here's the thing.
It's all pussies.
That's pretty good.
I like that.
I like that.
But it's all.
All pussies.
All pussies.
But seriously, though, send penis pics to Christine.
She wants them.
She loves them.
Loves them.
You guys are saying, I guess you're naked.
Your nudes is a woman also if you want.
She is on record bisexual.
We were talking about the, oh, did you see the...
Serious X-N?
Is this radio?
This is radio.
This is radio, right?
Sure is.
Jacob, is this radio?
Is this radio?
It is indeed.
It's radio.
Yes.
We do radio.
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay.
We do radio.
I thought we did radio.
Yeah.
We're not involved, though.
Yeah.
They don't involve us.
I don't know.
I'd be curious to find out in the, does anybody here go to serious X-N meetings?
Yeah, these guys do.
Every day.
They go to twice a day.
Twice a day?
Twice a day.
Not me.
I'm a bad boy.
You're not invited to the meetings.
Do you go twice a day?
Not twice a day, but a couple of times a week.
A couple times a week.
Do they say anything?
positive about our show?
Yeah, all the time.
What do they say?
I mean, they love you guys.
They're actually a very popular host
among all the upper management.
Could I ask a question?
Maybe, because sometimes you look at things
through your perspective, our perspective.
Maybe we're so popular.
We're so big.
Do you think they would ask Howard Stern
to do something, like some type of video to promote?
No, because of why?
Too big.
So maybe
They don't respect Sam Roberts
is the thing you're saying
Maybe not that
Maybe they respect us
Too much
Maybe they're like
We can't ask them
That would be disrespectful to ask us
I'm AOK not being involved
In this whatsoever
It's just not being
Doesn't even come to us
We're like well we don't need to put these guys
On this little trailer we have here
And it's a little
It's a what's the Instagram post
It's a fun Instagram as an influencer
Because I'm the Fluentz
It was a fun
little hey
I do radio
and all the shows
and I mean a lot of shows
I love Sam was in it
and who else was in it
Nicole
right yeah I love her
all the shows
all the shows on radio
because it's about being on radio
and it was really cool
can we watch it
it's really it's really I mean as a
of course they think I know
every artist and I have
everybody's phone number
in my cell phone
I'm working radio of course I don't
wear real shoes to work.
She's wearing slippers.
I work in radio. Of course everybody
think I could get them a damn shout out.
Well, this is the American
dream. Shout out to you.
I work in radio. Can you go back on this or now?
Everyone thinks I was at Taylor Swift's wedding.
I work in radio. Of course everybody
and my family thinks I'm in the plug.
Grandma,
no, pause it for a second. I will say that's
Toree, who's a host
over on Rock the Bell's Radio.
And I found out in this video that's not the Toray I thought it was.
I didn't think it was obviously Toure from Philly, but isn't there a famous like Toray?
He's got like an Afro and he talks about hip hop a lot on things.
Spelled exactly the same way, I believe.
Toray, T-O-R-A-E.
And see if you recognize the other guy I'm talking about.
Come on, T-J. Lou, I believe in you.
This is where our age comes right in together.
Well, he's looking that up.
Can I just ask a quick question to the staff, the people that do go to the meetings?
Was this brought up to you?
I don't recall this one, Lou, do you?
No.
This was never even brought up to...
They never have time to bring stuff like this up.
They're always constantly telling them how wonderful the show is.
Yeah.
Is that it?
It never really trickles back to us.
Yeah.
Maybe it's that.
Is it that where they like us too much, they respected us too much, they were like, hey.
It's possible.
Is that what you think that would?
You think that would...
An upper management decision not to...
Bother us with this thing.
Okay, maybe it's that.
Maybe it's that.
Nah, none of those guys.
Maybe it's that, Jay.
Well, I don't recognize many of those people, do you?
Well, they're on radio.
I know.
You guys are bigger than them.
You think?
In my world.
What do you think, Jacob?
In my world, he goes, yeah, I would hope so.
Did you like the sandwiches?
I liked it.
Oh, God.
I liked it.
The mood was low.
Like, there was something off with the vives.
Yeah, because Jay took one bite and went, ugh, with his face.
I didn't see that.
I was a vibe breaker.
I thought we were all talking.
No, I just think the vibe was better with the Philly Cheatakes.
There was more of a communal, we're having a great meal.
Yeah.
So it was good.
So you're saying Bobby's food destroyed the camaraderie.
I'm saying my food destroyed camaraderie?
No.
There could have been camaraderie if the food was all.
I think Jay ate a piece of grizzle and the consistency threw him off.
And then he had a face like he.
And we could all feel that vibe.
Yeah, you felt my vibe.
I was eating and talking with everybody.
Everybody. No, Bobby got upset.
No, no, no.
You felt his vibe.
Don't throw me into the way.
The whole collective.
Yeah.
I have no vibe.
I was having a great time.
So what?
I got a weird piece of sandwich.
That's right.
Your face, you had a face on like everything was fine.
Yeah.
But Bobby didn't believe it.
You didn't believe it either.
Of course he did.
Lou?
Lou, did you believe it?
I've never lied to Lou my entire life.
He's the only person I've never lied to him my entire life.
You've lied to him all the time.
Never one.
All the time.
Watch this.
I thought those sandwiches were terrible, Lou.
I believe you.
I never lie to Lou.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Just tell me to tell Lou things you want to know of it's true.
I won't lie to him.
I can't.
Do you miss Dan?
No.
Tell Lou.
No.
He doesn't.
Thank you.
Wow, that fucking scared the shit out of me.
You think there's going to human lie attack you and go, he goes, he's lying.
He misses him.
bad. Hey, we all miss him.
I miss seeing, Dan. I see him all the time
on his new podcast. You guys do a podcast
together.
You stopped doing this to broadcast
with you. No, we all got bullied into it.
Yeah, yeah, it's true.
Yeah, well, it's okay. I mean, what are you going to do?
Did Katie Nolan do that promo thing?
No. I don't think so. Okay, so none of the big stars
did it. Okay, maybe that's it. Well, she's
not on radio. It's a podcast.
It's a podcast.
It's both?
No.
Isn't it both?
No.
Is it both now?
Totally a podcast,
you, I believe.
Right?
Yeah.
That's why she's in the good studios.
It's just a podcast.
That's right.
We do both.
We do double duty,
so they give us the shittier,
smaller things.
Yeah.
No plants or anything
or cameras that work.
Well, lights, cool lights on the wall.
Yeah, we are allowed to have cameras, though.
Yeah, that are on.
There's a green light.
I see that green light.
I know that means it's functioning.
I don't believe her cameras work either,
but I think for the upper hosts.
Katie's?
Yeah.
Her cameras must work.
It's a video podcast.
I thought when Dan was here, he said they didn't work.
Yeah, he would say that to protect us.
Yeah, he's trying to protect our feelings.
I think he's talking about these cameras not working.
He's like, Jay, with the sandwiches.
He's trying to protect my feelings.
These definitely don't work.
They work.
What are you going to protect your feelings with?
Those were good sandwiches.
Let me ask you a question.
Yes.
So we shouldn't even think about it.
It's a good thing that we wanted to.
Think nothing of it.
All right.
Oh, no.
Yeah, no, we're completely left out of this.
Do you want to play it?
Did we play it yet?
Yeah.
We played the whole thing?
No, I don't think we played it at all.
No, you paused it.
Oh, Tourette, yeah.
On Toray.
You got sidetracked with a black guy.
A black guy you thought you knew.
Is that another Toure?
That's the Toure I'm talking about.
This guy.
Yeah.
He's like a talking head on a lot of like those shows.
Journalist.
Yeah, journalist.
Maybe for Rolling Stone or something.
Yes.
All right.
Play it.
Red.
Oh, what are you talking about?
I gotta go.
I work in radio.
Of course I know all the TN country music before anyone else.
Okay, I can't show you this.
I work in radio.
Of course I have an annoying amount of energy at 7 in the morning.
I work in radio.
Of course everyone thinks I guess super cool PR packages from the artists themselves.
I work in radio.
Of course everybody thinks I know the Jonas Brothers.
Look at that.
I work in radio.
Of course my board op is sweatier than most.
Sammy, you work in radio.
Lower those lights.
He was glowing.
Is that his new board op?
That's his wrestling board op.
Oh, wrestling. So it's his wrestling thing, not the Sam Robert show.
What would you have said, though? What would you have wanted to do for this bit?
I would have made sure I got something like a dog whistle to like a white nationalist group or something.
Yeah, I'm in radio. Of course.
I was like, I can always remember the number 88, H-H.
Yeah.
And they're going to be like, did he just hail Hitler? And I think, I go, I work in radio.
So I've been here for 88 hours. And then I'll wink.
I would have been like, I work in radio. Of course I voted for Trump.
I work in radio
Ice is getting rid of the garbage
Yeah I work in radio
Don't believe all women
I work in radio
Well what was she wearing
I work in radio
He hit her but what did she say
Yeah
I work in radio
Suck me off if you want me to play your request
Yeah I work in radio
You want to call in show us your tits
Yeah I work in radio
You want to come in here and shove a wiffleball bat in your snatch?
I work in radio, you see.
I work in radio.
Of course we all hate each other behind our backs.
No, I would have loved for this to have been in the video.
Yeah, it would have been a fun video.
It would have been great.
It would have been a great video.
That would have been funny.
That's a problem.
Yeah, that is a problem.
It's a problem for radio.
Yeah, only Netflix is a joke over here.
Everything else is mad, serious.
Mad, mad, serious.
Well, what are you going to do?
Well, not to be in commercials.
We're not in it. We're not in it. But it's okay.
We're not in the meetings. We do enjoy us.
You know what's going to suck, though? They're probably going to ask us to do one now.
Why does nobody ever give us the pick-me-up news in the meetings? In the meetings, everyone loves the show.
Yeah, nobody says that. How can we never tell us that?
No, I think Big Jim has told you that.
Nope.
We don't believe Big Jim when he says it.
You're in the meetings, too, though.
Yeah, we're not in Big Jim meetings. I'm in the meeting he heads.
But then there's meetings that I can't get close to it.
So you're just getting third-hand information that the people say they like us from Jim.
Comedy department meetings?
Lou, are you in those meetings?
I am.
I think what Jacob is forgetting is that we are sworn to secrecy in those meetings.
What?
We cannot tell anybody what happens in those meetings.
Why?
Why?
So we can't really divulge a lot of information from those meetings.
What do you mean you swore?
Oh, because they knew that Howard Stern was going to one day a week 17 months ago.
It's crazy.
You did?
Yeah, they knew Benji was getting fired.
Do they really say stuff to you that?
that we should know maybe and that you can't tell us?
I wouldn't say so.
Jacob?
No.
Oh, okay.
And those sandwiches were great.
Jay!
I'm sorry.
That was unrelated.
That was unrelated, but I did not like that turncoat behavior.
Yeah, what are you going to do?
It's part of the biz.
Yeah, I don't know.
I would say outside shot that we're hated here.
I would say inside shot that were hated here.
Inside shot.
I would say inside shot, not outside.
Like an easy inside shot or maybe like where we thought we got cocky
and started rounding second base and they threw us out.
How he did.
I'm sure that's not true.
No, I mean, they like us, but, you know, I think they like us,
but I don't think that where...
They clearly don't want us on camera.
I feel like they think that maybe we're just in case something does happen.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
If Howard Stur decides to go down to like one show a month, maybe.
If you go on the one show a month, 12 shows a year, maybe then they'll be like,
let's bump somebody up a little bit.
Let's bump somebody up here in the game a bit.
Well, I'd say in our 10 years of a show, 11th now, right?
I've never really felt like a good pat on the back, like you guys are doing great.
We're lucky to have you.
It's just that we get to still work.
You have a job.
That's your congratulations.
Yeah.
They don't, they're not, at least in our case, they're not one to,
pat us on the back.
Well, that's no way to treat people
who are entertaining for your
company.
I mean, I think that the show
is a great show. I think it's a funny
show. I think that it's a consistent
show. Poignant.
It's groundbreaking. It's
these are all words I've heard.
I think that we're always trying to be fun and have
fun time. And, you know, from
the fans that reach out to me
at show to like, man, you get me through the day.
If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't
and be able to do with my job.
I listen to you all the time, crackle crackle.
I have that 20 people tell me every day they put a gun in their mouth at 4.59 Eastern.
And by 501, we make them decide to live another day.
How many people?
20?
20-some-odd-ya.
Wow.
So we save lives.
Every day.
Now, it started with 25.
We did lose four.
Look, every time we come in here, it's not a banger episode.
Sometimes, you know, it's a daily show.
So once in a while, we're going to come in here and have a bit of a fucking dutter.
But, dude, hey, let me say something, though.
Some of those people might have been traveling out of the time zone
and didn't realize it was not 5 o'clock.
That is true.
It was really...
Okay, those people actually might not have been aware of the time shift for sure
and went outside of the time zone to shoot themselves.
It's not our fault.
Yeah, they turned it on and there was that other show on before us.
What's that?
You know what?
More likely, Eddie Trunk, more likely...
There you go.
More likely...
More likely is that we never had a dud of a show
and those people kill themselves
with a time zone difference.
That's it.
I never,
Bobby, that was a wonderful
self-defense mechanism
you just put there
and I'm going to use it myself as well too.
Thank you.
Those people didn't kill themselves
because of us.
Well, talking about,
I mean, this is,
they better start patting
at least you on the back
because the fact that
the things you have done
in the last year,
I don't know if you take a second
to stop and think.
But you've had a very epic year.
you maybe a year and a half
you put out specials
a year and a half ago right two years ago
right two specials not even
successful
successful
highly successful
then you went on to do
the roast
of Kevin Hart you are
highlighted the show most people say
probably top one or two
of the show because you did it
you wrote it yourself
you went out there
you were you had a lot of
you. You weren't the most famous.
You didn't use any of the writers. There was a lot of things that could have went against you.
But you stuck to what you know, and that's funny. And you killed it as you, as a friend.
You got Keith into the roast, which is amazing because he's one of Kevin's friend.
You repaired a relationship. And you murdered it. You went to the thing. You met a bunch of people.
And then, if that's not enough, you went and you opened for Shane Gillis at the
Eagle Stadium, which is epic once in a lifetime.
Who's going to do that again?
I don't know.
Shane probably?
Maybe not.
Maybe, maybe not.
You know what I mean?
That's such a big thing.
You went out and not only did you, can I say something?
I've heard this.
And I know you're not going to want to hear it because you're humble and you don't like
this stuff.
You don't like it.
Yes, it's true.
You don't like it.
You just,
I heard you are the best of the night.
Well, I mean, that's dumb.
A lot of people said, Jay, the rumor is that Jay had the set of the night.
The set of the night.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Put your phone down.
Get off your phone.
I'm going to show you something.
Okay.
Keep talking.
I'm nothing I have to do as I think about.
I thought you were shutting off emotionally because you can't take compliments.
No.
Because you still think you're a little fat boy from Philly on your belly watching TV.
You're not.
I know that.
I would say that you had that and you got, your dreams came true.
You got an invite.
to the Eagles games.
When you want,
when you want,
the thing you've been waiting
for your whole life
for somebody
from a Philly sports team
to give you
the VIP treatment
that you deserve.
That you've always wanted.
And you got it.
You got it in the way
you should get it to.
Very organically,
you earned it.
You earned it.
You earned it.
You didn't get it
because you're famous.
You didn't get it
because, you know,
some,
some,
big success in the you got it because of who you are how funny you are you got it before they
even saw you do your show and then after it just confirmed to them that they made the right
decision you got it for big j oakerson that VIP pass to the eagles games and you got that well
okay you did you did you made friends with people bam you made a friend dave schepel
hugged your mother hugged you and said what he said to you he didn't say see see
you later man good seeing you dude he said you inspired me you inspired one of the greatest
comedians going right now you inspired him and he said radio host is he hugging and he said

he said i love you he did say i love you and what'd you say back um all love and laugh baby

Thank you.
You didn't say black people.
Black people rule, Dave.
I've been saying it for a long time.
Black people rule.
Black people do fucking rule.
And you want y'all?
You all ready to laugh now?
And shit.
And shit.
Ready to laugh now?
Yeah.
You guys are ready to laugh now and shit?
All right.
Woo!
That's who you are, dude.
So here's what I'm saying to you.
The fact that you did this.
And you go right back to just hanging out.
It didn't affect you at all.
It didn't change who you are.
And here you are
doing the bonfire
showing up on time
two shows
Tuesday
killing it
you still
Jay
you didn't change
you didn't change
and that would have changed a lot of people
and it didn't change you
well
I'll tell you what I hear
yeah
and I'm having a hard time
following the exact thing
finding the exact thing
I don't know how it works here
but a guy
wrote a thing yesterday
that like I'm the shittiest
he saw me in Richmond
thanks for nothing
fuck I want to find it
exactly because it was so wonderfully
he said what
it was so wonderfully vicious
how are you taking
how would you ever in a million fucking years
take all the things
all the accolades all the achievements
all the Dave Shippel
said you inspired me
but somehow a guy in Richmond
in Virginia. He's starting to talking
about the link. Stuck to you.
Stuck to you. Like glue.
Why? How?
Just because this is what, because when
someone does this, I go, oh yeah, yeah, this is for sure.
This is what I think. No.
No. No, it's funny, for sure.
No, you're being crazy.
Christine, I want to know how you felt when you saw him
walk out there. Were you nervous
for him? No, I was really overwhelmed
by the whole experience.
And I was just overwhelming the entire time.
I was really excited.
I was actually happy that there were so many, like,
guests and friends there
because I had to run around and go back and forth
and be all over the place.
Why do you have to do?
Why were you...
It's just family and friends and tickets and calls.
It's like, you know, this is...
They gave the wrong tickets.
We need these tickets.
We need this.
We don't have this past.
Can you get me back?
I mean, I had people texting me like,
can you get me back?
Can you get me back?
I'm like, after the show.
It was, you know,
You can never get out of producer mode.
Well, it was like, it was a lot of friends.
A lot of friends.
And you want to make sure people are taking care of, but it was a good place to put energy.
I said, I can't imagine how Jay felt.
I can't imagine how shame felt.
When you saw your boy walk out there and he went on stage and he started killing, what was that feeling inside of you?
Because I know if I've seen him go up in front of big crowds, I've seen him do a couple things.
And I know that inside of me, it makes me, I don't know.
I don't know, proud.
Maybe that's not the word proud,
but excited for his, like where he's at successfully,
like that he can walk out in front of a crowd like that and murder?
It was really exciting.
And I said I was like, what is this?
Are we in Rome?
Are the gladiators coming out?
It's nuts.
It's a football stadium.
I haven't even been in a football stadium that many times.
That was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.
What the fuck does gladiators in Rome have to do with?
Hey, what?
It really, that's how it felt.
It felt so, it was so big.
It was so big and so wild and it's like I've seen football there
I've seen Metallica there to see Jay walk out
Yeah, see the players introducing him and then he's like coming through the link
I mean it really I that's the word for it. It was an overwhelming
experience and when he was when he said good night were you fucking like crying were you tearing up? Were you
No I wasn't. I was smiling ear to ear I was really I was really smiling and I wasn't
I was just it was
It was so funny with the roast, too.
It's like a moment I'm trying to film and your, you know,
your nerves are this and you're that.
And then all of a sudden, like, you're just laughing and enjoying a show.
Yeah.
And you go, oh, like, that's perfect.
Like, that's exactly what is supposed to happen here.
Not to interrupt.
Yeah.
He writes,
uh,
thanks for some lame-ass show in Richmond.
Literally only did some stupid fucking crowd work.
Like, I give a fuck to hear what some dumb fuck does for a living in the front row.
Thanks a lot, Jay.
You just fell into the group of comedians like Kreisher who,
fucking suck middle finger emoji i wrote damn i had so much fun i'm sorry you didn't enjoy the show
smiley face he went no it sucked not one joke fuck you and a smiley face and i wrote back
geez louise well jay let me tell you something but that's what i hear more when you go on the
roller coaster you do have to come back down of course yeah you're on your way down but you did get up
to the top you did get on the rise but that's a fun night that was a fun night though yeah now fuck
that guy that's crazy um
Well, let me see what his screen name is.
I'll put it out there.
No, we'll put it out there in case people want to compliment.
Maybe they agree with him.
Here we go.
If you agree with him, maybe.
At Big J. O'Kerson.
Oh, it was you wrote yourself.
It was a mirror stare.
No, I'm not going to give the guy's thing.
I'll give it.
He's angry.
He's angry by something far beyond my crowd worker, I have to assume.
I mean, dude, listen, the fact is that you,
this night is epic to see you walking out there
to see you walk on stage and to hear all the
accolades that I've been hearing from other people
other comedians saying that
Jay had the set of the night
Jane is hilarious
I can't have said of the night I mean the thing was like it's
Shane show they're there gathered for him
I had to do 15 minutes of like my best stuff I have working now
sure did I throw out something new I never tried before yes
was that balls no doubt
No doubt.
But did that show a kind of stick-to-itiveness and self-confidence that is not often seen?
Sure.
Yeah, for sure.
When you're walking through the crowd when you got off.
Because when you're walking in, people know you, but not everybody does, right?
But when you're walking back out after you had you set, how is that?
That was pretty cool.
It's pretty short walk, weirdly enough, because, you know, we're on the 50-yard line, essentially.
and we're going right to a set of stairs on the 50-yard line at the sideline.
So you're out of it pretty quick.
But I mean, yeah, it was neat.
But even before I went up, I said I was waiting out there for like five minutes,
or ten minutes actually.
And then people starting to look over the ledge and see, and they were walking by.
I took a couple pictures of people, but I think they wanted people to be more surprised.
But like as they started to see me, it was kind of neat that people were going,
like elbowing other people.
And they're like, yeah, it's a Jay, he's going to go up.
Yeah, you're a hometown boy, dude.
You're a hometown Philly boy.
Yeah, it was the right place for me to do it for sure.
Yeah.
Hilarious.
Pretty McCosker.
The way of the person I saw in that whole sea of White State.
And she just walked by in that picture.
Go back.
Did you see that?
No.
I go, who do you notice in this place?
No, he's not this far back.
But he goes, who the fuck?
There's a black security guard.
And then.
Pretty McCosker.
She's very pretty.
Brady's very pretty.
Yeah.
Jake, could you hear the crowd up there?
Yes.
The sound was fine.
You didn't need a sound check?
Sound was brutal.
Echoing?
The sound was...
Which also, again, like, Matt,
I had the benefit of being able to watch Matt go before.
And Jason, Kelsey, and kind of saw what was happening in the bowl.
Yeah.
That reflects.
So, like, it took, like...
Again, I had the benefit of being able to kind of realize that I had to, like, pace myself slow.
Like, talk.
Yeah, you got to talk slow.
You had to enunciate the word.
So it's like...
they'll catch it.
It becomes clear if you almost like let the echo happens.
You know, it's like, you guys are fucking disgusting.
Just like that beat.
Instead of going, you guys are fucking disgusting.
If you go, you guys are fucking disgusting.
Everybody, you know, just kind of enunciate.
I don't know why I chose that sentence.
You guys are fucking disgusting.
Well, it's, yeah, you got to wait for it to get to the top of the stadium.
Yeah.
Sound does.
But I mean, what an achievement.
I mean, I guess they ended up.
Shane, 77,000 tickets or something.
I mean, what the thing?
He's so funny.
At the end, after 3-6 Mafia performs,
the fireworks went up, and Shane goes,
guys, these fireworks cost like $150,000,
so, like, watch him.
Well, he...
He went back up and said,
they cost $150,000, so, you know,
look at him.
He said, look at them.
So look at them.
What was...
Was it the Blue Angels?
Did he say it?
So look at them.
Hell yeah.
What a night.
Yeah, Jamie.
That was crazy.
Jamie, if she wasn't there, she was like, she texted me, but people were texting her or something.
You know, she sent me some kind of, like, killer job.
So she might have, I mean, there's so many people there.
I'm sure that I knew, knew through life.
I mean, 77,000 people in Philly.
bound to like people I went to high school with or whatever.
Again, the interesting thing about like my lack of popularity in almost any place I was at
school-wise is that like how many people I probably went to school with who have no fucking,
like they don't even put it together.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
The guy who was playing in the fishbowl today said he's my age and he's from my neighborhood
in Philadelphia and I'm like, he doesn't know what the fuck I am.
He doesn't remember me from anything for sure.
That is interesting that there's probably people.
that knew of you, knew you back in the day,
and have it...
And are making the correlation.
And then all of a sudden you go up and you're like,
is that that that dude?
Yeah, is that the guy who wrote me notes all the time?
They kept asking me out,
but he smelled like hoagies?
Is that the guy that kept standing in front of the house
on a bike that didn't fit him?
Is that the guy who sweat on the middle of his sides?
Is that the kid that was wearing a blouse with bangs in high school?
Oh, dude, I recognize that guy.
He's someone who wore a karate guy tucked into his jeans.
Isn't that the guy they had an assembly for us?
Didn't say he didn't sleep with that girl?
Isn't the guy who had to publicly come out as someone who nobody wants to have sex with?
It is funny, though, because all those people that did know you, you probably weren't the coolest kid in school, right?
And now the coolest kids in school probably know of you.
Maybe some of them were there, and it must have been, like, crazy for them.
You never know who you're sitting next to.
You never know who you're growing up with.
You never know the potential of somebody or where they're going to go.
Oh, yeah.
And now here you are in Eagle Stadium, performing, crushing, killing, making people laugh.
It must, that must be a real crazy feeling for people to have that know of you.
Yeah, I bet in the school I graduated from, I bet there is zero recollection of me.
There's no picture of me at any of these schools like former alumni, blah, blah, blah, nothing like that at all.
Yeah, well, they're going to have the same thing.
It's serious, too, when you blow up, you become a huge star.
Absolutely.
You're going to have no videos of you.
on social media.
They're going to have no photos
of you around.
I wonder how much it would cost.
In fact, let's look into this.
Whatever our shitty school was growing up,
mine will be Robert E. Lamerton High school.
Mine's more than high.
Okay, let's, maybe tomorrow
we can try to figure this out on the show.
And I like this because I know we've got to go here
in a few minutes.
Yeah.
I'd like to possibly get a hold of our high schools,
our schools,
and ask them what it would take
to get like the library dedicated in our names.
If I can get like the Jay O'Kerson,
the Big J. Okerson, like, gymnasium, whatever, library, cafeteria, whatever the thing is.
How do we get a dedication in our schools?
The problem with...
What are we have to accomplish?
The problem with that is my name.
What?
R. Kelly.
Well, don't do that.
Make it Bobby.
Make it the Bobby Kenny Kelly.
Kennedy?
Yeah, the Bobby Kennedy Center.
Well, I think they have that.
They do have that.
They already have that.
The Bobby Kelly...
The Bobby Kelly Gymnasium?
Yeah.
Bobby Kelly, make yours a library.
that's funny.
Why is that funny?
Because I don't read.
You can't read.
I can read and I do read.
No, you read for pleasure.
I read for pleasure.
You can't read out loud.
I can read out loud.
I just have your judgmental face
staring at me over those luscious eyebrows.
That's supposed to go away when you're, I don't know, 11.
I work in radio.
I work in radio.
I work in radio.
I work in radio.
And people think that we get as many young blood tickets as we're
promised. Oh, can I put, can I, can I manifest something to manifesto? Yeah. I want to manifest something right
now. Go ahead. Manifesto. Repeat after me, Jay. Manifesto. Stop saying manifesto. That's a different thing.
No, that's, that's manifesto. That's manifesto. No, manifesto is something a crazy person writes
before they kill people. Yes. No. Yes. Manifesto makes it happen. Manifesting. No, I'm manifesting to
Manifesto who makes it, who manifests it.
Oh, it was like a DC universe character.
Yes.
Manifesto.
Manifesto's listening now, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Manifesto.
Manifesto.
Oh, Manifesto.
Manifesto.
A man who fisto.
You know, who got us, Youngblood?
Liam.
He's Manifesto.
Oh, got you.
Manifesto.
He's manifesto.
I like that.
I think he'll love that.
He's Manifesto.
Man, I hope they manifesto us.
You know, we're going to go do a, what you can call it, a bonfire from Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie.
I'm going to record one there on our Zoom, walk around and have fun, bringing the crew, doing the whole thing.
And, yeah, and I bought 100% of the tickets.
You bought them?
Yeah.
Why'd you buy them?
You should have manifesto.
Got us a section.
Oh, okay.
Well, you should have had manifesto, manifesto.
Manifesto could manifesto the five extra tickets we were promised by Youngblood-O.
Well, there was actually 20 extra tickets sitting right next to us.
It was non-stop.
No, I don't want to put that on manifesto.
There's too many people.
When you manifest, you have to manifest, we should have manifested out loud the amount of tickets.
We manifested.
We want to go to Youngblood.
So he manifesto manifested that.
You have to be word for word, what you want.
We thought when they said all you guys should come to the show, we're like, okay.
So that's six tickets.
We were asking for that seventh got cut down to just two.
Yeah.
And then turns out we could have brought 60.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We could have brought everybody we knew.
And I never got my tea.
You never got your tea.
I got my tea.
But I want to...
Luz never had a catch with Brett Michaels on the fucking Shea Stadium field, city field.
And you didn't get Jerry's number.
I didn't get Jerry's number.
The risen me haven't worked on any track.
yet. I know. I got my track.
What else? Anthony and Michael Hall and he haven't redid the weird science scenes together on the Zoom call.
We are getting lunch next time he's in town. Is that true? Yep.
Is it now? No. Okay. I was gonna say your interactions are different my internet interactions.
You fucking suck, you did. I want to manifest. Manifesto. Manifesto? Yes. Manifesto. You're not manifesto.
You say, oh, yes. Say manifesto. Manifesto. Manifesto?
Manifesto if you're listening.
If you're listening.
I would like to manifest something into reality.
I want to manifesto something.
Into reality.
Into reality.
Two things, manifesto.
I would like to get Kelly Clarkson on the bonfire.
That's going for his own thing first.
ASAP.
Manifesto?
Yes.
Yes.
You're not manifesto.
Oh, manifesto?
I want a manifesto.
one more thing.
I'd like to manifest one more thing.
I would like to get...
I'd like to get...
Ryan Gosslet on the show.
Okay, if there's only two things,
these are only into being two things
you're asking for.
All right, what do you want?
I don't know.
I know what I want.
I know what I want to manifest.
I'm sorry.
You guys you're manifesting things.
Yeah, you can have your manifesting things.
I'm just saying that I would...
I am dropping Ryan Reynolds.
I am no long interested.
I am interested in Ryan Gossett.
Please.
Really?
Yeah.
You're more of a Ken than over Deadpool?
No.
Not really.
Man, did you see...
Talk about an amazing batch of actors who just crumble at the idea of pulling off this lot.
You see when Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds came into Comic-Con?
Yeah.
I was like, what a shitty awkward back and forth.
They clearly worked it out.
I don't think they did.
I think he just came out.
I think Robert Downey Jr.'s ego is too much.
nobody else knows how to fuck around
and I think that
Ryan Reynolds
was playing it
and then what's his name
Paul Rudd kind of fucking
threw his zing at him
and heard his feelings
did he? Yeah he did
he goes
What was it?
He said something
Oh the rexom thing
Yeah the rexom line
I don't think he heard his feeling
maybe in front of his soccer team
who cares?
He made I mean it kind of was like
a nice hot zing right in his face
and Robert Downey Jr.
I don't know I thought they would be great together
like they would go back
forth but I think sometimes when you have two guys that are very similar and back and forth,
it just didn't work out. Maybe he was too insecure around Robert Denny Jr. I don't know.
But it was also, was it the lighting or is that costume not red anymore? No, he came out in the
gray, the gray black Deadpool. Deadpool has different outfits and that's the one. Maybe,
I think maybe there, he might be in the new Avengers at some, he might do a cameo. I think that's what
they were kind of hinting at that this version of Deadpool will be in there at some point this was
happening if he goes who's this guy with the swords and stuff they wouldn't have like yeah but the actual
interaction part they might have been oh we'll do something maybe maybe yeah maybe we'll handle it
and then it's like you know going up with a tell it's like oh this would be great and it's not
you know what I mean it's like tell says something about your mother you're like all I got to go this is
weird it'll be great and then it isn't it isn't it all yeah so anyway we'll wrap this bitch up yeah
we'll wrap this bitch up manifest don't make
that happen. Manifesto.
Please manifesto. Listen, but we've already
got our own tickets manifesto.
