Jay saw Marylin Manson perform in a small theater in New Jersey and was told to sit down because he was standing for the music. | Joe Rogan has a bunch of comedians in his orbit which is called "The Rogan Sphere." Jay is appearing on Rogan next week and badly wants to be in that sphere.

And now the bonfire with Big J. Olkerson and Robert Kelly The late great Rick Daringer Mikey told me died today. I Wasn't prepared for that At all. I was prepared for Rick Daringer to go like that RIP Rick what if that guy had rock and roll who she could part two of them. Maybe he did Maybe that's gonna be what we get posthumously. One of those big groupie girls, one of the people she was like, she was with forever,

You know, he kind of looked... They're always disappointing. The one, Jerry Rafferty is the one that hurt me the most. Jerry Rafferty looks like the Down Syndrome kid on South Park that goes, Mimsy? You know who I'm talking about? Yes, of course. Mimsy, what's his name? Nathan? I think his name's Nathan, maybe.

Rick Derringer looked kind of like a... Oh, geez. He had a little Frampton. Yeah. A little bit. He's American too, but he's got Europe face. He does, he does have Europe face. And there he is, look, he does.'s no bring up Jerry Rafferty minzy Jerry Rafferty looks just as retarded getting high all the time. Hope you all are too

All right, this was known as a song you built a car with your stepfather Hand me that three-quarter inch wrench remember we put the Edelbrock intake into this champs solo? The Bonfire Faction Talk Series XM103. I'm Big J. Okerson. Robierto Kelly the great Robierto Kelly is taking a much deserved family vacay in Aruba. If you're there you can probably find him. Yeah there's like 15 Americans. Look for him. I know I'm gonna have to play with this little, it keeps falling down on me mmm I'm gonna get it don't worry oh you got it you gotta squeeze till it hurts though you gotta want it more than the next guy this one's resting on the screen I was scared to move it I figured this is the Django Django puzzle of the whole desk right here we have no Jacob

Instructions yeah, Jacob had a loss in the family will say so he's not gonna be here for the this week Yes, and You know Jews What's it called? It was quick. We'll be back next week. Shit Shiva? Yeah, shit. Shit-a. Shit-a?

They're gonna shit Shiva. Shit Shiva? That would be my Wu-Tang name. That's the saddest, most weird thing to have that recommended. We've said it on the show, I believe, before, but at Kimmel, it's my late manager's funeral, when they pull out those sloppy Joes. It's a Jersey sloppy Joe, which is ham, turkey, roast beef, corned beef, I wanna say.

And with dressing, yeah, it's so good. And I mean, everyone, Christine almost didn't mentally recover from the whole situation. And still, that still talks about, we have to go and go, damn, that was a good sandwich. They were great sandwiches. It's a shame we had to lose our friend for it. But I'll tell you this, if Dave Kimmelwitz was still with us right now,

I might not know what a sloppy Joe is. So you gotta take the good with the bad. Everything happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. Sure as children grow up without a father, and that is sad, that is sad. Have you ordered one sense? But could you imagine not once?

No, it's actually his amazing family actually gave them to they gave it they bought one of them force and gave him to us one day We had Jesus Christ, but I know not since I have lived in Jersey and I want to find them because goddamn Black Lou told me the spot. He said he knows the spot. You got to go get them shit Black Lou told me the spot. He said he knows the spot. You got to go get them shit See you Joe joint C&J's. Yeah, dude, so nice when you learn your sandwich spot when you move to a new place I don't have a sandwich spot yet. We'll get you one. Everything's stupid where I live Talk about a fucking Commute from Jersey issue today today on Route 80, there was a dead deer, fresh, middle of the road.

You never see that. You always see it off to the side or exploded on the road. This was still full-bodied, just arms extended, laying in the middle lane of the highway. That was crazy. That slows traffic down, all right. Was the car there that hit it? Like, was it?

No, no, no, it was just a dead deer. Now the truck moved on with his life. But this thing didn't even look bashed up. It looked like it just went into the third lane and just died. Like that's where it went to go. Yeah, that's where it went to go kick off. Just find some peace to go die peacefully. That's a nice deer.

He's like, I don't want to fuck up traffic. Memorial Day weekend just ended. Right to fuck up traffic. I saw Memorial Day weekend just and right the fuck up traffic I saw a good amount of them this today driving here probably three or four Dead deer Oh dead. I was gonna say dad. Oh, I see them every morning No, I was say I didn't see a truck or it didn't look he was bashed apart But I did look over to the right and pretty far away in a field I think I saw Joe Rogan duck back down to a bush

He just sunk back down. He's like... You put on his eye black. Mission accomplished. He goes, I call you dinner. I just killed that powerful deer with my powerful bow. The thing has an on it kettle ball, the monkey kettle ball mark on its side. I'm doing Rogan next week. Are you?

With Lewis, so maybe it'll be... Kettleball time? Not so bad. You don't want to be there alone. I did it last time alone. I know, I know. And it went all right. Well, that's because you kept it from going to...

Smoked cigarettes, that was the biggest thing. I'm going in there this time. Heavy smoking. Chugging. What's up, what are we talking about? How do I get my ass in the Rogan Sphere? Bring your own ashtray. I do want to ask him that almost immediately out of the gates.

How do we... They talk about the Rogan Sphere. My name is never brought up in the Rogan Sphere. Am I not in the Rogan Sphere? Where does the Sphere end? In Vegas. I'm in the Arishashir. You're in the Arishashir. The Sphere. That's an important Sphere to be a part of. Sure. I guess I'm in the Arish Shphere. The Shphere. That's an important Shphere to be a part of.

Sure. I guess I'm in the Kreischer Shphere. So I'm only in spheres that branch off of Rogan. I'm not in the Rogan sphere. I'm one sphere, I'm one degree of Kevin Bacon sphere away from the Rogan sphere. That's funny. Yeah, but then his sphere brings a lot of, you know,

responsibility. You're gonna have to be spending a lot of time in Austin. To be in the sphere? Just because, you know, they meant, yeah, then you're gonna have to go do a whole bunch of, I don't know. You never know what the responsibilities come with, you know, some people may be, Hinchcliffeiffe maybe like, you know, stringing bows backstage or

something. But a small price to pay for beating in the sphere. Remember when we took hits of, like you took a- Louis is going to make noise again, but this thing keeps dipping on me. Remember when you took a big wonk and hoof and hit of fucking smelling salts at the mothership? Yeah, what Louis did, Alex last time where they were smelling salts should be almost a criminal act.

It was insane. He opened the smelling salts, he's like, woof, and I said, the first time I opened those, I thought they were weed, because it looks like a green. You took a big old fucking whiffer. Right, and it hit me pretty hard, but it's still not like this.

Lewis said, Alex, smell this weed, this is the best weed I've ever smelled in my life. And she was doing something and she just kinda took it like, yes, Louis, it's his boss, or it's her boss. She kinda has to do it, or at least acknowledge him. So she just grabbed it casually and just, I mean, took a, almost like she snorted it, the way she sniffed in so hard.

And I mean, it shut her down for 30 minutes Her eyes were tearing like she was crying. It was like she was so hurt emotionally that Lewis had done that to her She blamed it on the smelling salts, but it was really her broken heart. I know I wonder tears would I rather be smelling salt? attacked or LSD which they got me with they does me the LSD. I really be dose with smelling salts or LSD, which they got me with. They dosed me with LSD. But I'd rather be dosed with smelling salts or LSD. I mean, if you're gonna be doped,

well, I would say smelling salts because LSD lasts a hell of a lot longer, right? And if- But it could be pleasant the whole way through where smelling salts in heavy sucking your nostrils is a probably like hurts your brain for a little bit. It does. It does. As much as I like LSD,

I still want to know when I'm taking it. You know what I mean? Do you love it? I love it. I love it. I love mushrooms way more. But I... Why? Acid's like...

Acid's sharp. Like acid... You could turn on a dime. Like things could be going fantastic and then just be going catastrophically awful. Like everything's very sharp. Where mushrooms are a little more rounded, a little more, you can take it with the flow. You know what I mean? Sure.

I've had bad trips with both and the bad acid trip was terrifying. Like really, really fucking bad. Will you ever do it again? Yes. Absolutely. Even though you know it can happen? Uh-huh. Why? Well, because it can also be great.

Yeah, but what if it's bad? Then you're there. And this is, let's just say, this could only be the 263rd time you've seen fish. And you have a bad trip. Was it worth it? First first of all I'm at 288 okay, sorry no, but no I think that um I The time that I had that was really bad the thing that was killing me Oh my god are they doing is this their version of farting a two-liter from fucking? Wakasami Lake, 1972?

Oh dude, they're calling back the jam from Omaha. When I did it and it was really bad, I closed my eyes and I was like, okay, it's tomorrow already. A lifetime went by and I opened my eyes and I watched one minute turn to the next minute, like you know what I mean? Sure. 207 I shut the fucking thing off. 208. Yeah, come here off 208 yeah it's right

there I was like I'm forever I'm here forever this is never gonna happen to you they're all gonna laugh at you shit they're all gonna laugh at you somebody tell my mom everyone can see your wiener everyone sees your wiener and they're laughing Michael laughing at your wiener and they're laughing Michael. You're laughing at your wiener Michael. This is never gonna end, I'm here forever. Joe DeRosa's laughing at your wiener. Joe DeRosa. Everyone's laughing at your wiener.

Everyone's laughing at it. You can't put it away and it's out. This is never gonna end. What did I do? I'm the wizard. I'm here to give you a better penis. I'll take it. Take mine.

Take yours. This is where it gets Take mine. Take yours. This is where it gets really deep. Yeah, this is when it gets... You checked out, you said, of the... Me and you had mushrooms hit different ways, buddy. Because you went to Gilmore and were not taken by it. I thought straight through the entire two hours... You're wrong.

I was so into it. I was taken by it brother We had brother brother Brother, I was taken. I was taken by it, but I was in the sitting the the cul-de-sac suburban woman sitting section so if you stood up Everybody looked at you like you were a fucking piece of shit, so I was sitting Drinking a beer watching the show having a great time

But if every time I tried to move every time I tried to clap I'd get like a like a cunty elbow And I had nowhere to go I literally had nowhere to go It was sort of a sit-down show, but if you're sitting with all your people I was by myself Got you so because I am okay at shows by myself. So you wanted to stand alone. I just wanted to get up, bro. I can't sit at concerts. Did we say that when we went to Manson? Did we say on the air what happened?

No, I don't think so. When Manson started a couple weeks ago? Uh-oh. When he went on, I got front row of like the first sitting section behind. It's general admission, all on the floor. Where is it? Garden? No. No, Montclair. No, Montclair, small Wellmont Theater. Okay, okay. the first sitting section behind. It's general admission on the floor. Where is it, Garden?

No, no. Not Montclair. No, Montclair, small, Wellmont Theater. Okay, okay. And a small place, but nice, nice theater. And so I got the first row of seating in the very front thing of the word start seats, because general admission on the front.

It's all open, floor in the front. The entire floor is GA? Yeah. Okay, I didn't know if you meant like there was a pit and then there were seats. You guys both been there? I recently saw a Doris Cover Band there. Nice.

Riders on the Storm. I don't know, they were horrible. I love one. The Lover Madly, don't I, do you know what a good song's doing? The Lover Madly's? Wild Child. Wild Child. Ah, that's not a good one.

The Blood in the Streets in the town of New Havens. That's a nice theater. So you were sitting where? So we're right there, Mikey. Right first sitting session. Oh, those are nice seats. Great. That's a beautiful theater.

Very nice theater. We sat there. Marilyn Manson starts to come out and everybody stands, including me. And a guy two rows behind me just immediately goes, he's like, my man, no way, dude, no way. He's like, no way. He's like, you gotta say, you're gonna ruin the show for all of us back here, man, no way. And I just turned around and I was like,

you shoulda got better seats. Are you kidding me? Yeah, I was like, I don't know what to tell you, man. And the guy next to me was like, is he being serious? I go, yeah, I don't know what the fuck, there's guy next to me that's the guy next to me was like is he being serious I go yeah, I don't know what the fuck the possum there's not a chance. That's nuts, dude And then for pure spite even songs. I didn't care about new ones I didn't know that I could already tell I wasn't gonna be or once I knew that I was like I could sit down for this one you stood on your chair

But what I stayed I said I was on my feet the whole show Yeah, and I could not look back seven thousand times. That's so fucking weird. I wish I that feet the whole show. You have to be at that point. And I could not look back 7,000 times. That's so fucking weird. I wish I, that's the mental thing I have to get over. Stuff like that. What do you mean? Be over it immediately. You're not sitting. The guy wasn't like a scary guy or something

was even coming at me. It was like some fucking. He was short. Whoa, whoa, whoa, all right. Well, I guess, yeah, clearly he was short. He wasn't even the king, he was just short. Well, here's the thing. That's a fucked up thing for anybody to do to you.

You know what I'm saying? It's just a way of rap, buddy. I've never asked anyone in front of me to do anything different. No. You know what? That's not true. I wouldn't say that.

If I was at a fucking thing and they kept holding a sign up in front of me, I'd be like, you can't, that's crazy. That's crazy. I've told people to put their phone down. Yes, actually, I could also say that too. It's like, you please put your phone down. Like, you have it right in front of me, I'd be like, you can't, that's crazy. That's crazy. I feel people to put their phone down. Yes, actually I could also say that too. It's like, you please put your phone down. Like you have it right in front of my face.

Cause you're holding it up. I was just in Pittsburgh for Pearl Jam having both of these things. Huge guy, I'd say taller than you, Jay. Right in front of me and Nyla, with his phone recording the whole fucking show. And we treated it like, that's a tree we gotta ignore. We just gotta go around them and enjoy it without them.

Who was on mushrooms? That's a tree, man. We just got to ignore it. We got to climb to our branch. I disagree, Lou. I'll say on that one, you got to say something. Put the phone down at least. Hey man, do you mind with the phone?

You're putting it right up in front of my face. Even with the phone down, his huge bald head was in the way. There's nothing I can do. He was taller than me I'm six foot. Yeah, but that phone ice is the anger cake. You gotta like even go like buddy. Hold it down here Yeah, they weren't they weren't graded seats where it was like going up. Yeah, it was he was still that time It was still that fucking tall. Yeah Listen

It fucking happens man. And when it does you can't find a way to enjoy it. You'll find your pocket You'll find your little way to keep your head. It's fine. I gotta tell you, that's the thing I hate the most about Phish concerts is it's musical chairs. So like, if you're in section 103, and I'm in section 210 or whatever, and you go, yo come down, say hello before the show, and me and three of my friends come down and sit in your section, when the lights go down, we're just staying.

Like we're just staying where we are. So if people come and they're like, yo, you're in our seats. They don't check your tickets and stuff? No, they do, but you know what I mean? Like, well, like if I see you, I'll come say hello to you, and then we set up with you.

And then if people come and go, hey man, these are my seats, instead of going like, oh, sorry, sorry, they just kind of nudge over. It's very obnoxious,ious dude I've done it my whole life but at fish concerts and it's in now I hate it so much I was gonna say it's really cuz like you're I'm not that you are so hilariously wound tight for a guy. That's like so it's like the jam scene I Hate it. I hate it. Can I tell you cuz everybody else is like who cares man?

We're sitting we're all here for the experience because I paid for. Can I tell you? Because everybody else is like, who cares man, we're all here for the experience. Because I paid for these. Can I tell you one time? And this is where I want to sit. It's like cops night out. I saw, it really is. I saw them once in Vermont in a field, okay? And I was on mushrooms and I turned to my buddy and I go,

you ever feel like it's like us versus them? And he's like, what are you talking about? And I go, all these people keep bumping into us dude, like what the fuck? And he's like, what are you talking about? And I go, all these people keep bumping into us, dude. Like, what the fuck? And he's like, no, I've never thought that at the most peaceful thing you could be at. We're in a field in Vermont, and I'm getting claustrophobic. Yeah.

I can't take it. I'm telling you, this guy, the problem with me is like, this guy, hey, man, you got to stay on. No way. He was just doing like, it's ridiculous that you're going to stand up. And I'm like, it's a standing concert. And then he was like, you're going to ruin it for us. I go, buddy, I don't know hey man, you gotta stay on, no way. He was just doing like, it's ridiculous that you're gonna stand up, and I'm like, it's a standing concert. And then he was like, you're gonna ruin it.

I go, buddy, I don't know what to say, he said, get better seats. You should have put him on your shoulders for a song. But I was like, get better seats, but it was just like a matter of like, which is even kind of a conty thing, it's just like a weird, like, and again for me, that guy's rent free in my head the whole show.

And not, again, it's interesting, it's why I say it's an interesting thing. It's not like pure fire aggression, like I need to fight this guy. Look at this guy, this guy's not fighting me, I'm not fighting him, you know what I mean? He's a good guy. It would have been me bullying a guy. Ultimately, it's just like, when you put that in my head,

it's like, he doesn't know me, so now the thing is, in my mind, I'm like, am I a fucking asshole for standing? It's like, it's a standing show. standing show if literally if this was a sitting concert, and I was in the front row particularly The front row I would be like this is crazy that no one's standing But I'm not gonna be the one person standing of course when everyone's standing. Yeah, I'm standing also Well, and that's how I was at Gilmore. That's where I'm like oh guys. We're all gonna get up for you know I mean, it's this is're all gonna get up for, you know,

I mean, this is the song you get up for. And nothing. Watch Warren, that's what I'm wondering. That's what I'm saying. There was nothing that David Gilmore made me wanna get up. I wanted to lay back more and look up at things and stare at the screens. High hopes.

I love high hopes. I wanted to get up. It's not really a standard though. Oh gross, that's crazy. Yeah, what I'm saying, it's such a slow. But do you, can you picture being like crammed next to you? I think you would have left too I don't think you would have stayed by yourself the way I was sitting if I was on mushrooms

I would have stayed it made me want to leave more now. I would have told I got I got some candy I got clammy. I got like I got a piss and then you know what it's the reaction I sunk in I just happen to sink in fun People dude, I was with fucking To to fucking pickleball twats. I was with I was with Josh and Butterly and then Christine and then Christine showed up Yeah, it's a better time than being by yourself. You know it is What I should have done what I should have done

And this is what I've done in the past at shows where I'm losing it. Just go on with Josh. We'll get you in. I'm going with Josh. Because I would have been alone anyway. He knows a guy. He knows all the guys.

No, what I would have done. He knows he's homies with Pink, but Floydie doesn't know very well. I'm going to win them over because I'm good looking, I'm cute, I'm funny, I'm talented. Nails on a chalkboard. You know what I should have done? I'm not looking, I'm cute, I'm funny, I'm talented. I'm talented. Nails on a chalkboard. You know what I should have done? I'm not scared to. Gross.

Sibidabadibidab. My favorite place to go when I'm bugging out is behind the stage and watch the drummer. I always like to go back there. If things are getting weird, no one ever likes to sit behind, like the seats behind them. If it's a show where it's fully, full to capacity,

because those are the first seats that get cut when there's not, you know, either the upper bowl. But I like to go behind there. That's always, if you're ever looking for me at a show, that's where I'll be. Fetal position? Fetal position behind the drums. If you're watching me at a show, you'll see me,

I'm shadow boxing in a bathroom, planning a fight with an imaginary bird I don't see. That's not there. I keep buying chicken sandwiches and throwing them immediately out. I hate this that's not there. I keep buying chicken sandwiches and throwing them I hate chicken. I hate chicken. I told you what happened in Albany, right with that girl I was tripping pretty hard on mushrooms and I went to take my hoodie off and I accidentally like hammer punched the girl in front of me. Like I had my hoodie off like this and I went I'm sorry. I know you enough to know

Maybe it was accidental. I know you enough to know maybe it was accidental. I promise you it was 90% accidental. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a little tab that goes like, I'm gonna take off my hoodie and give myself an excuse to suck this bitch in the face. Anytime to punch a woman in the head. Oh, you know what, dude?

I feel like jawing someone's girlfriend, so let me go ahead and take this hoodie off. Attack! She turned around and she goes, do you really think you're gonna get away with hitting a woman at a fish concert and I go, excuse me She goes I'm gonna ruin your fucking night now. Mm-hmm, and I'm tripping I'm like, I'm like what the fuck I was with Dorfman and he's cracking up. He's like you said a girl And I'm like dude I was the head of Outback

I'm like dude. I was the head of outback touring which is uh that's the person who does all the touring for Nate and One of my good buddies and Chrysler. We've been to a lot of concerts together Yeah, super new like jam band he loves the dead and he loves fish and all of it But I go you really fucking think I go if I wanted to hit you wouldn't have been that I go come on It's funny though. I don't know if that's the right thing to say either. No was it if I wanted to hit you it wouldn't have been that I go come on But it's funny though say I don't know if that's the right thing to say either no was it if I wanted to hit you bent hit Tap I go I was taking my hoodie off. She goes I'm gonna ruin That's not a hit this is a hit Like a bottle of fucking brandy back in her fucking jacket hang on a second. Let me put my hoodie back on in fact yeah

Through you know what you fighter with my own hoodie you know what miss I'd like to talk to you about this but first let me put my jacket back on Hahahaha And then now if I could just hang on a second I need to go to untie my shoelace Oh my god I connected with every one of those activities Alright you know what miss? Don't yell at me let me take a sip of my water real quick Oh my god you are in the way of everything It was Evelyn I got a mic you happy. I hope she ruined your life dude you get beat her up with your activities

He goes hey, you know which way the bathroom is They just keep hurting me and hurting me over and over and over. Hahaha! Later on in the show, I'm like this, my eyes closed like, oh man, a dwarf man leans in. Remember when you beat the shit out of that girl? The whole fucking night, dude. Just give her a teacher a lesson. The problem with me is even at my, whatever I'm feeling with like mushrooms or something like that whatever I'm feeling where it might be in that moment I gotta put my

arms out to the side and let the music course through me that's it if the problem is if I feel that I understand feeling that I will never be not vocal or just chill while the person next to me is doing that even if it's a friend if I lose my friend to this I'm gonna go hey, hey wake up may be the guy that I know don't be this what is this? This music's going through because we don't talk like that. This is why this is now our friends talk This is why I don't want to bring you to a fish come I was thinking about this the other day I ruined that wrestling for damn. I'm sure you did. I didn't mean I didn't do it on purpose

Why'd you ruin it would you go? Hey, this is fake by the way? did. I didn't mean, I didn't do it on purpose. It was just that one event. Why'd you ruin it? Why'd you go, hey, this is fake, by the way? Yeah, he didn't even know, I thought he knew. No, it was when the Shield or something got back together. We went to Monday Night Raw, because it was here in Barclays Center. And the night off afterwards, it was like a Monday Night Raw

and Skanks wasn't happening or something. So he's like, yeah, I'm going, Dan St. Germain's going. I go go to the night off afterwards. It was like a Monday night, raw, and skanks wasn't happening or something. So he's like, yeah, I'm going, Dan St. Germain's going. I go, we got nothing to do. It was before Dawkins and everything. We got nothing to do. Like, I'll get some tickets, let's go. And I go, I'll buy us three.

If you'll sit with us, dude, like, I'll buy three tickets. So I got three tickets for us to go to Monday. And we sat there, and I mean, Dan wants to go tarred out to fish. You know what I mean? Like whatever the version of that is there. And it's going nuts for these very childlike things. You know what I mean?

And I felt terrible. Cause I didn't do anything. I wasn't shit talking any of it. I was enjoying myself actually very much. I didn't know a lot of the people coming out or what the story lines were, but I was still like, it's cool intro. Like the intro, the production of it's's a cool intro. I like the intro.

The production of it's so fun. Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. If you went to wrestling, if I went tonight, I'd have a blast. And I don't know almost any of the wrestlers or anything. It's just a fun production. So I was enjoying it, but Dan knows the stuff.

So, you know, whenever the crowd's posted, like, you know, whatever the steel and coals, he was like, what? What? Like, he knows all those things. and I was seeing him subdue himself And then the one that I was never forget was it was that shield getting back together cuz I know it was like a big deal Is it the shield yeah, they start playing that music and the place And Dan gets out of his chair and while his butt leaves his chair six inches

He looks over at me who's just kind of like, what? And he just sits immediately back down and goes like this to him so he just gives himself like the fist like, yes. He goes like the fucking hockey. He's like yes, the shield. And I'm like, oh buddy, I'm like, Dan stand up and scream, dude. And he's like, no, it's fine.

I'm like, no, I'm ruining this for you. If I wasn't here, dude, you'd be fucking holed up. You'd have a number one foam finger on. You'd be wearing a shirt that says, you'd get for your dad, show your dad. Yeah, that's the thing. And I saw you, I don't wanna fuck someone else's tongue because they don't get it.

Because I put people through that myself. I deal with Marilyn Manson. Now, luckily, he's not been what he was, even now. He sounded great, looked great, I said it through that myself. I deal with Marilyn Manson. Now luckily he's not been what he was, even now. He sounded great, looked great, I said it a thousand times. He's back in that regard. The show will never be what it was. I would have went to that. He can't do those things anymore.

He can't do the things he does. So it's like really, and he's playing newer songs. Great show. But it's like not the set list I would pick. But I'm coming at it from a 47 year old. He's trying to gather still new fans and young people that think he's cool. To me it's nothing, not the set list I would pick, but I'm coming at it from a 47 year old, he's trying to gather still new fans and young people that think he's cool. To me, it's nothing what it was.

Do you think that if you went with me to Marilyn Manson, would you feel the need to go, Mikey, this was off the second album, they used to play it a ton, would you narrate the, would you kind of bring me through, would you be my guide through the evening, or would you just let me have a, nonstop? Yeah.

Okay. Like to a point where like Christina would be like, he just let him watch the show, and I'll go, oh, do you know what I hear? Really, you know, this isn't even the original version, this is off the demo. That's why I would want to, I think I'd have a hard time bringing you to fish.

Why? Because I feel like I'd want to hit pause and be like, all right, I've always said, bringing someone to their first show. Buddy, tell the story. If the story's 15 minutes long, there's still three more minutes of song left. But that's a good part.

And it all culminates, you see. Yeah, it's like someone reading the instructions of the Settlers of Catan. I literally would be like, I'd be like, listen, so this part of this song is in another song but it's just not the same yeah you would hate it. I want to explain well when you were supposed to come to Led Zeppelin the people you go now Gollum yeah and his evil and the evil one. Now this is the sphere now like when you the Sphere? It's the Rogan Sphere. No, this is the... The Fish Sphere?

The Good Sphere. The Good Sphere. Ahhh. When I was out there in Vegas, I went to ECW with Q and Oteel. I got Oteel into wrestling at...he's a 57 year old man that I got him into wrestling through DDP Yoga. He goes, who's DDP? And I'm like, oh, buddy, Diamond Dallas Page, blah, blah, blah.

He goes back down to the beginning and starts at like the very beginning, like, you know, World Wrestling Federation, but then going back even further. And, you know, Q's a massive wrestling freak, right? So we had seats front row right behind the announcers for ECW. I could give a fuck about wrestling,

but it was so much fun, dude. ECW, they go for it. And they were having like, but everybody was like. That's how you could tell by the way. Fucking Sal and Q, super into wrestling. The other two, super into pussy, dude. Straight up slayin' ass. Joe and Murr, they're more about pussy, man.

Whole other kind of wrestling, but. I think I became friends with the wrong two because those guys seem like more my speed, dude. We're out there fuckin' crushin' sniz and fuckin' lickin' belly buttons and fuckin' finger girl's butt holes. You know what was so funny? People were bothering Q and he's like,

yeah, yeah, yeah, and they're like, no, no, no, can we have your chair? Like that's what they want. They didn't want like a picture with Q. That's like what, currency in wrestling, huh? Is to like bring a chair home from an event. Oh yeah, I had a Monday Night Raw chair when I was younger. You did?

They brought home from Monday Night Raw, yeah. So how do you get them? That's like a thing that like, Where you're sitting. You should be able to just pick up. So Kurt Metzger's girlfriend at the time won like a radio contest, like be a ring girl for the night

at Monday fucking Nitro. Wow. And so she got to bring two guests, or I don't know, some guests, but it was me and Kurt, were the two people that went with her. And they got to set in, that wasn't ringsided, but it was a section

and it was chairs where Monday Nitro padded folding chairs and you get to take those home with you. And we did. Can't walk around with three fucking chairs like an idiot. That's wild. Yeah. Mike, I just see, you know, I'm starting to think about this.

You guys, I know sometimes you might get a little bit uncomfortable with your place in this world. I'm talking to you, Black Lou, DJ Lou, Christine, even you, Mike, but I want you to know this. You're all in the ochre sphere. You dwell currently in the ochre sphere. So if anybody asks you, you can say, well, I'm in the ochre sphere,

so I'm on the Eye of the Inside track. And guys, we're super into vaccines. Yeah, what else is the ochre sphere? The ochre sphere, Super in the vaccines. Working outs for fucking pussies. If you kill your own meat, you're an animal yourself. I'm a civilized human being in the ochre sphere. We let other people prepare our meats.

We're okay with skin care. We're okay with self-care days. I'm okay with self-care days. I don't have to have the eyebrows God gave me. That's what I decided in the ochre sphere. You could have whatever eyebrows you want. B-Y-O eyebrows. The ochre sphere's a fun sphere to be a part of.

No. It's not bad. What are you telling me? I've been in it. Yeah, but is it that fun in the ochre sphere? I didn't even have a choice in the beginning. You brought me into this sphere. Mike, you're in the ochre sphere.

I hope you understand that. Go listen. What does that mean? He goes, it would mean I'd like you to get better at Madden and NBA 2K. Stop wanting to play hockey. Ochre sphere. Ochre sphere rule and regulation.

There's multiple sandwiches at every event. Lot of different sandwiches. I need sandwich types, but most of them need to have to require mayonnaise or mustard for Mike. You need a good sphere though Everyone needs this for you got a sphere your boys Oh, yeah, are you where are you in the sphere? Is it the is it the Lou sphere or are you it is the loose? loose fear the Lucifer thankfully for the show

I think it's the loose fear loose a sphere. Yeah, so like you're the one that says like you're holding the I make the anchor I make the plans I order the the food, I get everyone together. Is it because you can't trust other people to do it? That as well, yeah. Is that what you mean? Yeah, because you put a bunch of fucking can't get shit done assholes in your fucking sphere. That's the problem.

I'm not saying you, Mike, I'm just happen to be looking your way. Oh. Well, let me tell you something. Are you willing to venture into other people's spheres? Like... Buddy, I'm definitely... No, he wants in the Rogan sphere.

I'm actively trying to get into the Rogan sphere. I'm not talking... I'm talking down... Like, my sphere. I ain't gonna get you anything career-wise, okay? Maybe I can get you a Bob Weir autographed fucking poncho or something. That's something... That's currency somewhere, dude.

That could definitely get me pussy. It doesn't smell good, but it might look nice. It's gonna have nice eyebrows that person. It's gonna be nice. But like there's gonna be always like the pussy hair that's, it's really hairy pussy. But when you get close to the lips, you realize that some of the hair is damp

because it holds piss. Ooh. Yeah, that kind. That's what you get in the Fanoia Sphere. That's great, Jesus Christ. It Fanoia sphere. It's great. Jesus Christ It's a fun sphere. I want out No, you're under the big J umbrella more than being in the ochre sphere Yeah, the Lewis fear keeps pulling me in

That's yours full of snakes It's a strong pull on the skank sphere. You're in a lot of spheres, huh? You don't have a choice though. You're in a lot of spheres, huh? I'm in a lot of spheres. You don't have a choice though. You're in the Rebecca sphere too. Rebecca sphere. Why is it? I'm in the Emily sphere. She's from high school.

There's no Christine sphere. There is. What is it? I don't know who's in it. I'm not. No. Who's in your sphere, Christine? I'm a lone wolf.

Yeah, it's Christine in Dawkins just fucking floating around in a sphere. I like a good sphere. I'm in charge of a sphere too. Hell yeah. It's the guys you have to get all the tickets for fish and those guys right? I basically, it's things I... You automatically become the sphere master when you hang out with a bunch of burnouts. That's pretty much it. And in my sphere, nothing like Mars Volta happens. In your sphere? Nothing like that happens. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. That's pretty much it. That's pretty much it. And in my sphere, nothing like Mars Volta happens. In your sphere. Nothing like that happens. That's not supposed to happen in my sphere. Nothing happens. Wait, is that the cult? Huh?

No, is that different Mars? No, Mars Volta the concert. No, the concert where you get left in sections by people and you get, none of that happened. No Wook left behind. That's not supposed to happen in your sphere. It's how we run. Not supposed to get left at a concert.

Black Lucy was confused. Talking about when Josh left him in the concert. Were you not here for all of that? No, I was. Yeah, that doesn't happen. The Mars Volta thing threw me off. That's the name of the band that was playing. You thought that was the name of the sphere that we were in?

Mars Volta does sound like the name of a sphere. It does. I belong to the Mars Volta. And it's hard to remove people from your sphere, you know? Or read an age now where it's like the people you're with are the people you're with and that's it. You can't kick someone out of your sphere, right? I think it's more weird, like bringing in a brand new, long,

like- That's weird. What's weird as an adult is bringing in a long term from, close friend. Like, somebody that would be automatically next year coming to Thanksgiving. You mean like introduce a new person now? Yeah, that seems weird.

Well, totally. Getting rid of it, you could age people, just kind of like time and ignoring, you could get people out of this fear. Bringing somebody new into the sphere is strange. Well, you got to make sure everybody else feels comfortable with that person, too. Justin Silver's got a very interesting sphere.

There's always a guy that shows up, and he's like, oh, I've been friends with him since I was eight years old. And you're like, well, now you're 50, and I've known you for 25. Yeah. Where was this guy? And he's like, waiting. Because I don't introduce everybody from my sphere. Now, if I were to bring you into my sphere for a night or two,

would you be comfortable with that? You think friends you don't think I have friends? I have a lot of friends in the Mikey. I have a lot of friends that I tell you why. You don't tell you why would You don't ask friends. Can I tell you why it wouldn't be good? A friend, shh. A friend. Don't say that on the air.

Just you and your dog too. But listen, a friend, I can go kick with you and a friend or two of yours to do a thing, for sure. And I'd still say that's got a 75% chance of going bad. This is the problem, I know this is too, when I try to mix spheres. It's hard to to mix spheres well here's the problem when you mix a sphere is that people get together and then what you do is the person who's clearly not vibing in this new sphere you're trying to create you feel a say

now you start realizing how much the person you try to link them up with sucks in their own way but they're your thing. They're my thing. Especially when you introduce new, not comedy people, and you bring them into the comics. That's hard. That's impossible. Because they are, well, sometimes they get laid back and ask, but sometimes it's fine. But sometimes they're like, yeah, we're all funny guys here.

And they start trying hard, and then you start seeing the comedians looking at you with a little like, is your buddy gonna be doing this all night, and you're like, this isn't usually, this is not how he got into my sphere. You understand, when he got into my sphere is because we had a great time together playing video games and talking shit

and going to Eagles games or whatever. So you're saying some people in certain spheres need to just stay in their galaxy. There's no. Just need to be in your sphere. Yeah, you just gotta stay in your sphere and not venture out to others. But I will tell you this. I've brought people around with us. As soon as I'm in the Rogan sphere. I'm fucking out of all your spheres Christine I might be closing the umbrella while I'm at it

The big J umbrella might be getting fucking cranked down You're not getting you're gonna start trapping fucking raccoons in the yard and making hats and shit. Maybe dude Joe I made you a hat Joe. Yeah, I made you sneakers out of a raccoon in my yard fucking That's really hilarious until I fucking tie Kwon Doe your ass Because I'm gonna be taking ty Kwon Doe in the Rogan sphere in the road is fear ty Kwon Doe is a mandatory Well, I want to get knocked out by someone in the Rogan sphere because I know they're gonna have enough smelling salts I wake me up when I fucking get knocked out. Um Nothing is worse than when you're a new person in a sphere

Um, nothing is worse than when you're a new person in a sphere I'm recently been that where I was brought into like a tight tight group of people that have known each other forever And I'm the new he's a comic. Oh No, no, I don't want to be the comic. I just want to be the I'm the guy who likes the Grateful Dead like that's it I'm so people. I thought I don't have friends with fuck That's why you're trying to make new ones. Yeah, why I'm joining your spheres thought I don't have friends. What the fuck do you care? That's why you're out there trying to make new ones. Yeah. Joining new spheres. I don't have a, I have my, my rocket flies into a lot of different spheres.

You know what I mean? Because I'm not tied to one. I got the music thing, right? That's not in me. Your friend plans rarely include other comedians. My life really folded into being almost exclusively like comedy and comedy. Jason, you were like, you're not going to hold on to a lot of your old friends. I got Glenn Glenn still in there. Little J's out there.

Someone in the world now consider friends still. You started at 19. Yeah. You like, you know, it was like high school friends. It's like you started a little later. It's like you had some adult friendships. One time. One time. That's right. had some adult friendships. One time, one time. That's right, you had adult friends through your 20s. Yeah. One time at a Yukon football game, Tailgate,

me and my oldest friends, like my six or seven friends from high school, we were all hanging out Tailgate in and my sales friend who gets just way too wasted wants to do, he's Ted Boozai, Teddy. Was him? No, it was Matt, the kid that came up with that that we sang it together He showed up at our tailgate and just motorboated a fucking thing a potato salad and then just walked away

He just ruined the potato salad and they're like who knows this fucking guy and I'm like, that's me. That's all me Yes, I'm gonna stop some you have to stop the group from beating up the new guy. You're like, no, no, no He's cool. He's cool. He's cool. He goes, let's go get Coke, let's go get Coke. And then just like, I'm like, dude, what the fuck? You've already voted the potato salad. An immediate sphere mixed mistake when I moved to South Jersey from Philly, senior year, and I switched schools, and I was still friends,

obviously, with all the people back in Philly, with my friend, everyone was driving already, so you can kinda get back, not everybody had a car, but some people can kinda make it, and I tried so but you know I'm pretty good at making friends like pretty new so like just meeting the neighbors in this new neighborhood everyone was new in the neighborhood too because it was like just built that fucking right we call it not develop I guess development yeah of townhouses yeah project of townhouses subdiv yeah. The project. Of townhouses, yeah. Subdivision. Subdivision, yes, Valleybrook.

But they, but yeah, when we went there, I brought my friends from Philly, I'm like, come down. So we have like a nice basketball court that's like caged in, that's just for the development that we could play on. And I was like, and you'll meet these people I've been hanging out with here. Fist fights, me, first time.

One hang only, fist fights. I was in one of them, I think. I think I got to know it with one of the new people because he was being shitty to my old friend. It was so weird. Now in retrospect, do you realize it? You're like, oh, they just didn't like these new people here? It was just, well, it depends.

Always different reasons. Kurt, so my first big sphere shift was all my friends from South Jersey and some of them from Philly that were still kind of lingering around. But mostly South Jersey. My friends through senior year, and it became my everyday friends. And then I started doing comedy, and then I met Kurt.

And Kev. Kev blended in pretty good. Kevin Hart blended in pretty well with like my Sphere. And I could do good in Kev's sphere. I could go hang out at the barbershop with his brother and fucking not be a weirdo and like play Madden with them and just talk shit and whatever. Like it wasn't so, so weird. And I brought Kevin to mind, it wasn't so weird.

Kurt was the monkey wrench. Cause everybody like Kurt. Kurt was just like, he's just gonna make like, Kurt's the guy who would make book quotes and you're like, buddy, you're gonna cross-eye all my friends, and myself included. But I acknowledge that I'm more lunk and I'm intrigued by your sphere.

Yes, yep. By Kurt's sphere. I go, oh, I wanna go because like, I can't, it's like, I'm a lunk too. I can't wait and I get super angry and punch a wall when the Eagles lose and all the dumb Lunkhead shit, but it's also still like like this fucking weird artsy Movie just came out in the thing and if I told my friends ago, why we gonna go beat up fags

Yeah, yeah, it's like a so that's the you know I mean, so I didn't that was interesting thing for me So I but I also went from being the guy where I'd be rolling my eyes at my friends where I'm like, these dummies, to being like the dummy in Kurt's Group of Friends. Well of course, because yeah, when you're, like when your sphere is shining, that's like the fun,

oh I'm gonna go here for the Super Bowl. You don't wanna watch the Super Bowl with Kurt's weird intellect. No, and then I systematically crushed Kurt's sphere and then I just made Kurt be my sphere. Get over here. Sphere wars. Yeah, before you know it, that's when Kurt was starting And then I systematically crushed Kurt's fear, and then I just made Kurt be my sphere. Get over here. Sphere of wars.

Yeah, before you know it, Kurt was starting to write jokes about taking a doo-doo, and he was using that wording. Right before we moved to New York, and we were in the black circuit still, and Kurt was just, he just started to pan. He just wanted to kill. He wanted to kill consistently in these black rooms,

and he wouldn't always. Always hilarious. Nothing about that. It was just, they could throw him off his game. They would do me sometimes too. If they just turn right away and you can't get it back and they're just fucking with you because you're a white guy, which would happen too.

Right. But his jokes were always just the funniest written jokes the way you would tell them anywhere. On stage anywhere. Right before we moved, that was the funniest. He goes, is this a pretty funny joke? I thought he was being funny to me, like should I tell this?

Yeah. Like would this be funny, like making fun of the situation? But it was a joke and I just remember the term and it was, and by the way, it's like a hack joke. He was so like panicking, it's not even unlike Kurt to write like a hacky premise, but it was like when you go to the bathroom,

you always gotta make sure when you take a doodoo, you gotta keep your feet up so they don't see your shoes, and everybody recognizes who your shoes are. It was just like this joke that was just certainly like just ripped from the pages of Def Jam 101. And I was like, no, Kurt, don't. I have to, I have to, but not you. Go while you still can.

Yeah, I'm like, I'll be over here fucking a stool waiting for you to come back and get me man If you need me, I'll be humping this stool to that new P. Diddy shit If you like to yeah, Nicola Tesla three minutes on Nicola Tesla come back with that You shouldn't be writing about this now Kurt's a guy who right away I met early and I wanted to get to know you right, most of my friends outside of you are, I have a lot of non-comedy friends, right? Kurt's a dude that I was like so intrigued by,

but also scared shitless of. That's good, oh yeah. Just in the fact of like, I see myself like, getting wrapped up in like, something with him, and then it's like four in the morning, and we're in like, deep Brooklyn, and he's bloody, and he's, I don't know what to do yeah he's a weird he's a weird egg he's a very weird egg oh hang on hang on where he's he's randall up oh

no somebody put a dart in Metzger I Wonder about him in Austin lady do me a favor Do me a favor lady Do me a favor if you don't mind just can you hold my drink while I take my jacket off here real quick Oh, yeah slut remember when you hit a girl Did she make your life miserable no they moved they moved me to the other end of the... Let me just grab my popcorn and soda and I'll be on my way in two seconds.

Here, there you go. Fish jam. Glow stick to the eye. Listen, I don't want to fight with you. This is my favorite song coming on. So if you could just chill there and here, why don't you take, have the rest of my hot dog. Hey! Oh God, oh, you got bad hands.

What if, what if Rogan said? Welcome to the Sphere? Welcome to the Sphere. I'll never leave Austin. You need to move here. Christine, you could have the house. You need to move here. What?

What if he said that? To join the Rogan Sphere? He goes, here's a house. Oh, he gives me a house? Gives you a house oh He gives me a house gives you a house gives you a tank Give you a dog is it an electric tank it well. It's high. I'm worried about my emissions. It's hybrid It's diesel hybrid okay, cuz my carbon footprint means everything to me everyone knows that it's one of my defining things big carbon footprint Okerson jays very worried about his carbon footprint He is always have been you were you've been a trailblazer in that

before that even became a thing. People didn't even know what carbon footprint was before I said it. One time he goes, hey, I'm running for cigarettes. Shut your car off. Yeah. I go, Billy never idols. Even Billy never idols.

You guys know that. Remember when we were in Canada and I brought up Neil Young on stage and everybody booed? And later on I was like, what the fuck you booing for? And they go, that motherfucker comes here and talks to the oil companies about how shitty it is that we're doing.

Meanwhile, he's got seven fucking buses and trucks running in the parking lot for an hour and a half. Fuck him. That's the angriest I've ever heard Canadians. Fuck Neil Young. So I say, he says, all right, I'm bringing you in. We have to get rid of one person in my sphere. It's time Ari goes, but you are the one

that has to get Ari out of the Rogan sphere. Your spot in Rogan sphere is Ari's. No. You can't do it? No. Wouldn't get rid of Ari in the Rogan sphere. No, but just for this hypothetical situation. I couldn't.

No? No, he's my Jewish friend. He's your Jewish friend yeah he knows massage knows massage people yet he's hooked you up with your suit guy he did look me up in my suit guy now so yeah I like Ari a lot I need it Ari's a guy who I wouldn't have to kill kill him out of the Rogan sphere well who else would I'm trying to think cuz he's the one I know and like the most out of them I think you'd kill everyone else now. Yeah, if you had it your way,

would it be just you, Shane, Rogan, and Ari? No, too tight, too tight to have a circle. He's gonna be paying too much attention to like my gains and stuff. I don't have time for that. You need him to be distracted. Yeah, I need Rogan. I need his fear to be big.

I don't want him up my ass. And then he goes, Jay, did you get up and do your cold plunge and run? I go, no, it's 4 a.m. He's like, well, well that's Mark Wahlberg and me do there's a pile of raw meat on your door yeah just so you liver you just get tech he's watching you he got you a house because it's monitored by him you haven't you haven't gotten up in two and a half hours yeah everything in the

house checks my heart rate at all times heart rates dropping bro you're dehydrated bro you're dehydrated. Yo, get in there. Electrolyte up. Freeze yourself. Now thaw yourself out. I'm pulling for you to be in it. The Rogan's Fear.

The Rogan's Fear? I just wanted to be said one time. He goes, now some of the comics in The Rogan's Fear, I'm like, he said, remember when Kat Williams goes, who do you say, he goes, Joe Rogan been promoting six comedians that ain't never been funny. And I know it's not me and that hurts. I know he's not, I'm not one of the people he's talking about.

No, I know who he's talking about. No one knows for sure. They're leaving out, see I know a couple people that are, I'm adjacent to this Rogan sphere from Paul Stamets too. He's the mushroom guy. And your uncle Alex Jones, who I know you blew up

in the shows. Uncle A. I know. And Steven Crowder dash Fanoia. Steven Crowder. Steven Fanoia dash Crowder. Bob Lazar. Bob Lazar we had on ours too. Elon Musk. Is Elon Musk going on there anymore? Maybe that's the spot you could take. Musk? The Muskinator? In the Rogan sphere.

You need to bring better value than Musk does. What do you bring to the sphere? That's the thing. What do you think Jay would bring to the... Who do I have to take out? Duncan Trussell, I like him so much, he's so nice. No, Duncan, he's, yeah, that's like getting rid of Buddha. Like he's not hurting anybody.

You need him there for fucking... He's so sweet, he's so nice.. You need him there for fucking, huh? What about some of these younger dudes? Who? I don't know. Kill Tony guys? Kill Tony guys. They're not Sphere, they're not Rogan Sphere.

That's Tony, now there's a Tony Sphere. So does Tony need Rogan Sphere anymore? Not that you need it. He's still part of Rogan Sphere. Yes. Tony definitely, yeah, Rogan Sphere, these guys, the residency is at that club that's sold out but if

If the entire audience that loves kill Tony, which is massive Decided tomorrow. They don't love kill Tony. He's at a club that will be sold out. Anyway, if the next Monday very true Theo this Theo still plays by I know the least, I was gonna say, so I don't like, but every time I met Theo I like him very much. He's very sweet. Did you see that shit that happened at the bar with him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was weird, huh?

Yeah, I said before, I'm always gonna take the side where it's like the guy's probably being annoying in some way, but there's that video the guy put out explaining what happened and it looks pretty clear that is what happened and maybe Theo misunderstood him because this doesn't strike me as a Theo thing to do because it does seem like he overreacted for sure But again, I have to talk to Theo to hear the whole thing as Theo responded to it at all I feel like Theo I don't know if you responded but I watched it and I feel like Now I snap like that I give Theo tons of credit for taking that long to push the fucking guy away. But it wasn't long, the guy said two things to him.

Yeah, but he had balloons on his hand. What the fuck was that all about? That's what I'm saying. I know you understand this a lot because you wanna do this if a lady looks at your baggage thing to see if it's hers. I've been getting better at that, dude. She goes, she goes, you go, it's mine, that's mine.

She goes, oh, I have a bag bag looks the same. He goes, okay That's how many years ago was that huh? How many years ago? I think within the calendar year 2025 It wasn't crazy long ago It was long enough ago that I don't I now think about that exact thing But that's not something you should have to stop yourself from doing but at least I'm gonna go get my luggage I'm gonna try to yell at a lady. I'm gonna try not to isn't that better than doing it. Absolutely I'm trying but but the Theo thing is funny I should have thought that Mikey would have the most sympathy for this

I have sympathy for being annoyed at place of someone especially a drunk person do what when uh Comedy work you were with me. Did you go to the Red Dog with me last time? No, I wasn't there with you. When we went to the Red Dog? Two times ago I went. But the Red Dog? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that place, it's the same like,

well, I don't think it was that time. Huh? I think Carden. Carden went last time? No, Carden went the first time. No, you did go with me. Did I go with you? We went to that strip club.

Oh, no I didn't. You didn't go with me then. So I'm trying to We went to the strip club. Oh, no, I didn't you didn't go with me So I'm trying to remember who went with me Last time but whatever was there's that read that Oklahoma City I was thinking of the outside bar where that guy came up to me and go no one gives a shit about you Yeah, remember that it was a pinnacle moment in your life. Sure was Now at the red dog last time there's like a drunk guy and it's that they're fans But like, you know when a drunk guys coming up a ton over and over and over again

I get that thing. Maybe that's what happened here. The guy in his explanation We do this on Legion of Skanks already, but like the guy gives his explanation of what happened the guy who got choked Mm-hmm and it like unless there's a heavy editing which doesn't seem like it at all It seems to check out Theo's talking to somebody. He's got the balloons He said he wanted to ask Theo to like do, which by the way, I bet he has these goofy ass questions too. Oh, well hey, will you draw a cock on my shirt because I have everybody's drawing cocks on my shirt.

Right. That's his thing, his cock shirt. Right. So okay, this guy had the balloons and he goes, I think it'd be funny because you're a comedian. Will you make a video of you popping my birthday balloons That's what he said he was wanted to do as we were asked to do and this lady's going like yeah Go ahead, and he was like well. He's talking to someone. I don't want to bother you hear him say this on his video

He goes you saw that Lou. Yes. He's like he goes I see talking to my own bother But I don't bother because then we saw the window. He's a fan Yeah, so we saw the window even over he's like hey Theo He goes can you and it just looks he's saying that and Theo just kind of Like blows him off for a second which whatever you know and I think the guy gave him like a tap just to but this is a doofy Guy, this isn't like a guy looking for a bar fight and he's like I was just asking about By the way, maybe it wasn't asked Eloquently, maybe he was hammered. I'm sure was his birthday too. Like maybe he was hammered

But it just seems like Theo went from Z, I feel like Theo had something else go, whatever it is, I don't blame that at all. I could just have a fucking miserable three days arguing with Christine or something and someone else is catching that fucking frustration. So it's like, I understand the thing. I'm just like, when I saw it, I'm like, wow, it's so not the side of Theo I've ever seen.

And I might as well, I'm far from judging it. Somehow I got there. But I did think it was gonna, I was like, we were like, he showed great restraint. I'm like, I think he showed almost no restraint in this situation, but I did think it was gonna. I was like we were like he showed great restraint I'm like I think he showed almost no restraint in this situation, but fuck it man We know and you know I picture is like this is the tenth dude after a show That had their iteration of like sign my balloon or pop my balloon or whatever absolutely like I'm this is where you perform There's a bar. He went to it sure which means he the show, had to go through whatever crowd of fucking, you know.

Theo at this point, I think Theo at this point is out the back of the theater. I'm not saying there's no meet and greet, I'm saying like as far as bumping into people, he can get the fuck out of Dodge. Listen, I'm with Shane a bunch on the road now. Shane, you gotta go to a thing and like you're gonna be stopped a lot.

You go to a bar. Yeah, the jokers, same thing. It's gonna be a thing, but Shane likes to go to a bar afterwards and Theo went to whatever this place is. I don't go very often, we go once stopped a lot. You go to a bar. Yeah, the jokers, same thing. Yeah, totally. It's gonna be a thing, but Shane likes to go to a bar afterwards, and Theo went to whatever this place is. I don't go very often, we go once in a while. We go once in a while, and, but I- But I chalk those up when we go. I also chalk that up right away to like,

this isn't gonna be like me and Fanoia sitting at a bar and shooting the shit, having a good time for the next two hours. It's a meet and greet. Yeah, we pretty much go our separate ways, and you do your thing, I do mine. And I get told that this guy goes, dude, you're hilarious and no one gives a shit about you.

And I go, what? And this girl goes, what? And he goes, I know, I know. You're gonna have to kill this guy. You've told this story a lot. Hold on, but then he goes, my dad loves you. And he called hospice and put his dad on because his dad was dying of cancer.

In hospice. In hospice. Jesus. I don't think Theo choked this dude. He didn't grab him by the throat. He kind of pushed him away. No, no, no, he's got him by the throat. Yeah, but Theo knows what he's doing.

Theo knows what he's doing. It's a pressure point thing, you know what I mean? Oh, he was spocking him. Also, don't come at him, don't come at him balloon arm. You know what I mean? Look, he goes, no man, I wanna know what Theo said right there, and then he's like, I told you to leave me alone.

Yeah, but there could be nothing less threatening than a guy walking up to you with a bunch of balloons. I don't know, dude, it's a weird world. But again, the guy's telling the story, his side of the story, he could have been a lot more obnoxious what he said. Theo may have misunderstood him also. But is there a response from Theo at all?

It says he declined to respond. Really? Yeah, I've never seen a response from him either. Wow. And that's straight from TMZ. He declined to respond. I don't know, man, I give it to him. I see he's sitting here talking to these three chicks,

one's got a cowboy hat, maybe he thinks there's like a hock to a situation going on. Listen, I said before, this doesn't make me go, oh, I guess Theo's a piece of shit in any way. I think Theo's great. I like Theo. I'm just saying, this seems like it was from 0 to 60 with not much reason other than something else is going I'd be blown away to find out that there was nothing else on his mind that day No, there definitely was but here's the thing if this escalates

This is your chance to grease into the Rogan sphere because this may be like a good like the O's out You're in the O's not leaving the Rogan sphere. I'm not saying he's leaving, he may be asked to left. He won't be. To left. Asked to left, asked to leave. He might be asked to right. There's something with his chair

that just makes people talk funny. What is with his chair? But Theo's such a pretty laid back guy, and like very nice, and like, first time I ever met him he was nice, like he was never like, I never like something cool like win him over I was hosting the cellar for when he did his audition there and he's like anything I need to know or anything and I just like just don't run the light I go all light

you just get off and he's like all right man all right and he did obviously he did awesome but this was before I mean he was huge but he wasn't as massive now as he was I mean it was like Shit, maybe seven eight years ago something like that, and I was like Jesus you have to audition He popped like in the last like five yeah a lot, but then I don't think I ever saw him there ever again No, like I think it was just he don't like he doesn't need no absolutely no now of course not They come out and do spots if you can open a fucking club. Yeah, I know seriously. He doesn't come around here much. No But I mean he's like he's SEC comedy. Yeah, I know, seriously. He doesn't come around here much. No.

But I mean, he's like a... He's SEC comedy. Yeah. He's in the Southeast Conference. Southeast Conference? Southeast Comedy Conference. I'm good in the Mountain West and the Big East. Oh, we have to take a break.
