The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly

The guest list at Bobby's Thanksgiving included Jim Norton, Big Jay, and their ladies. They made the trek up to his house in the mountains and enjoyed the holiday except for one person who passed out. They got to see the lavish accommodations that Bob's son Max enjoys. Jay brings authentic cheesesteaks back from Philly. A Boston vs Philly steak sandwich argument ensues. Bob has a problem with hot tomatoes also.

Muffulettas with Katherine Blanford

With Big Jay off on a secret gig, Ari Shaffir enters like a wrecking ball and takes a personal phone call on the air. Andrew Dice Clay is on his phone and proceeds to spread Christmas cheer to the gang! Bobby revisits his Cuban vacation with Ari, arguing over things they already argued about while on the trip. Things get heated and voices get raised. They clarify their stories about bathing Gypsies, dangerous ghettos, losing cigars, and Santeria. Bob gives out Pivens while Jay is away.

Santeria with Ari Shaffir

The guys invent a sexy new martial arts sport that is also porn. Jay has all kinds of thoughts on the new Yacht Rock documentary on Max. This leads him to pull up video of men having sex on a boat and declaring that he has floppy bear body. Jay recalls separate times he was slighted by both Questlove and Machine Gun Kelly. Bob watches a Thundercat video and believes that the actor in it is armless. Despite much evidence of arms, he stands firm.

Stephen Wilson Jr

Jay goes to a Wu-Tang Clan show and Justin Silver flakes out on attending. Jay calls him to verify his excuse. Bob teaches Jay about Sniffies which is a site that just shows the bodies of hot men and not their faces. The term "pump and dump" is used and Bob educates the listeners about its meaning. Jay and Christine reveal that they are moving to New Jersey. UFO drones are spotted flying in the Garden State and campers call in with their theories.

Pump and Dump

Lucas Rossi, Jay's rock star friend, made an earnest cover of Corey Feldman's Comeback King. Jamie Foxx came out with a new Netflix special that calls itself a comedy. Jay plays examples of how it is more like black church than a stand-up special. Foxx recounts the emotions and steps he endured after suffering a stroke. He brings his daughter out to play guitar and sing with him. The show is short on laughs and heavy on prayers.

Atlanta Saved My Life

The music of Stephen Wilson Jr. was so good the other day that Jay was moved to sing in country style about his life in 1994. Bob has yet another dangerous incident on the subway with a vagrant. This prompts Jay to spring into action and assemble The Flames Of Justice! The Flames would be a vigilante group of just Jay and Bob, and will patrol the NYC subways to stop violent attacks. Jacob gets surprised by a rat while he was taking out the garbage and reacts in the most un-cowboy way possible.

The Flames Of Justice

Bobby and his wife love their coffee so much that they bought a new espresso machine and tested it out all night long. Jay painted his nails pink again to the dismay of Bob. He also dislikes a pork product that absolutely everyone loves. Bob has a griddle to cook on and teaches the gang what Bisuteki is all about. Jay makes a song about drones flying over New Jersey.

Bisuteki

Jay tells the story of a time that he knocked out a guy on the street. Christine has a conflicting version of the story implying the guy was not much of a challenge. Bobby gives advice on how to punch someone out. He reads an article about drone attacks incorrectly and thinks that Iraq is fighting New Jersey. The guys share umbrella etiquette because it's pouring on NYC at the moment.

No Sense Of Justice

Jay relives his early stand up days when he played a song and undressed for the crowd. Dave Temple and Derek Gaines discuss comedians that used gimmicks like using music cues in their act. They all take bad advice when they first started out in comedy. Bobby and Derek were recently hanging out at the Comedy Cellar and were snapping on new comics like the old days. Dave and Derek are currently on the "Let's Get Pizza" tour.
