And now the bonfire with Big Jay Okerson and Robert Kelly live from the Sirius XM
studios in Nashville. The mighty mighty death tones. Yep. By the way almost every
song look at it Bobby look at his shirts off they're all rubbing them. His shirts off? Yeah. It's so funny though.
You said he got fat?
Oh, he did get fat.
Why does it make me happy when guys who are hot and sexy lead singers get fat?
Well what makes me, I don't like that.
What I like is when they get fat and they snap back like this, you're like, damn, he
looks awesome again.
Like he looks skinny and cool on stage.
He went from an awesome lead singer to just a Mexican.
Oh, bring him up fat, Christine.
There's videos and errors of them
where he looks like he works at a gas station.
Yeah, he looks like he's just a chubby Mexican dude.
There he is right there.
No, get him fat singing.
I mean, nah, that's a mean picture that guy open for me in
San Antonio
Did yeah, that's my producer of YKWD for five years. I mean, yeah, he got like he got chubby
And that must suck though to be a frontman and go fat
Well, that's when he would get off drugs and shit
Yeah, we're drinking or whatever his rehab was for yeah he went right to tacos but he currently looks awesome skinny looks great now downright skin
he's all over the stage man I was so happy I was able to enjoy it because I
started into it with not being in a great mood actually I wasn't even it
actually didn't ruin it wasn't like 4th of July didn't ruin your mood like that
no it didn't ruin you know still getting ready to see the Deftones, which is one of my favorite bands.
Isn't it weird that I was actually happy when this whole thing with Josh went down?
I don't know if you've noticed the smirk I had of glorious, just, you know what I mean?
Just like, here it goes.
Because it usually hits me
with stuff that you don't care about.
Like food or questions or.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the stuff that I'm like,
all right shut the, I'm not your dad.
Stop asking me, you should have Italian
or a fucking chicken cutlet.
You have to give Josh a lot of like, bud,
I love you, buts.
I don't do that.
I just go, dude, I don't know. I'm not your father. I just go, dude, I don't know.
I'm not your father.
He's like, hey, I'm just asking.
But that stuff doesn't bug you.
I'm asking everyone to be my father.
But I need everybody to be my dad.
But when it gets, because it's usually me
who has some type of story.
Sure.
And when it was you, I would just, I just sat back and let it go down.
So, and quick recap, we all go, Deftones concert, Mike Fennoyah is Josh Eddermeyer's
plus one for his floor seats he said he was gonna get. And I want to say Mike
Fennoyah, love him, sensitive guy. Of course. I didn't say hello to him in the right way, got all pissy with me.
Pissy?
Yeah.
No.
But he went, all right, fuck me, fuck me, dude.
Said hi, you know, fuck his, I was like,
because I was mad at the lady who confronted me
about sitting on the stairs.
He said.
So when you guys showed up, I was kinda in my own head
trying to, you know, I was having an argument in my own head
with some lady that I'd never met
that I'll probably never see again.
I was doing crazy Bob Kelly shit,
trying not to go to Six Gear,
and he showed up, I was like, hey, what's up, guys?
And I immediately, he was like, hey, Bob,
he was in such a great mood.
So happy.
He was getting ready to go see the Death Tones
with his friends.
Mike was in a happy mood, and he's a sensitive guy.
I'm a sensitive guy, too.
When I say sensitive guy,
I don't mean it as a negativism.
I mean, hey, man, I'm sensitive, too. And he was like, oh, fine, I said hi, you don't mean it as a negativism. I mean, hey man, I'm sensitive too.
And he was like, oh fine, I said hi,
you don't fuckin' say, I was like,
Mike, I'm mad right now.
And I was like, I'm sorry, hi Mike.
I kinda had to adjust, I'm like, hey dude, I get it.
You're sensitive, I'm sensitive.
I'm sorry.
Stop crying pussy.
Yeah, stop crying pussy, right?
So he is that type of guy.
Crying pussy.
No, no, no.
Oh no, okay. No, so. You don't think Mike's a sensitive guy? He is, type of guy. Crying pussy. No, no, no. Oh no? Okay.
No.
So.
You don't think Mike's a sensitive guy?
He is, of course.
Yes, very.
Who's more sensitive, me or Mike?
I mean, it bugs me.
Maybe Mike.
I'm sensitive that you have, okay, Mike.
It should be immediate, Mike.
Immediate.
You're pretty sensitive.
Fuck you, I'm not.
See that?
What?
I ain't touchy.
You're fucking touchy, bitch.
Sick of you guys.
I'm on out.
I might be the least touchy of all of you people.
Christine, Christine, do me a favor.
Look up Chino Moreno's fattest music video.
Just those words and then find that one.
It's so funny to see him performing fattest.
Christine, you have calluses.
That's why.
You've had your face against the glass more than us.
You callus bitch.
Yeah, so.
Mike was a.
But everybody pumped, dude.
Like everybody shook out,
I shook out of my thing quickly.
You were, your energy,
this is the great part about you.
I'm gonna throw you,
I'm gonna give you some flowers right now, Jay.
Thank you. And I like giving you flowers. Thank you. I'm gonna give you some flowers right now, Jay. Thank you.
And I like giving you flowers.
Thank you, I like giving you flowers.
I wanna fucking hug you so bad right now.
God, you're adorable.
I know what all the fuss is about about you, by the way,
when you act like this.
You, when you, what are you laughing at?
She doesn't agree with you.
Really?
No, she's a cold bitch.
Yeah, whatever.
Here's the thing, Jay.
You want everybody to have a good time.
You are making sure, you're looking around,
even during the concert, you're looking at me.
I'm kind of jamming out with my hoodie on.
Especially when I think, I will say,
when I think it's my thing, that I'm almost,
I understand we all have limited time.
So I go, will you guys give a night in
to like this thing I think you're gonna love?
Right.
That's where I'm at.
And you are making sure, I mean,
you're gonna fight to pay for something with you.
And it's ridiculous.
It's like, dude, come on.
And you want, you're good, you're good, everything.
And I'm like, yeah.
Can you see here?
Right, you actually, I mean, just beautiful guy.
We get there, you're worried about everybody.
We get in there, everybody's ready to rock.
You're always solving puzzles.
I'm gonna go do this, I gotta get this.
We'll meet you guys in, do that, do this.
And everything was going swimmingly.
And then we go in to the garden.
Down, down the concessions on the floor.
Which is, yeah, the the floor which is yeah the special
place where they have the special hamburgers mm-hmm and Josh came down we
did get to this part I believe Jacob you tell me where we left off around here if
you could turn on your hot mic yeah Josh he said that he Mike is hot you had you
had talked to Josh suddenly appeared and he said and you said where he Mike is hot you had you had talked to Josh
Suddenly appeared and he said and you said where's Mike and he said oh, yeah, he's in the seat seat I got to go get water you left him in the seat and then I gotta go dude
I'm sorry. I gotta go see the band. I have to go see I have to go see Mars Volta
I'd left to go get waters for all of us. Yeah, I'd left you to go get waters
I thought you didn't even see Josh. Didn't even see him.
It was that quick.
He came, I saw him for 30 seconds.
Were you by yourself?
Because I think me and Isabelle went to pee
and Bobby went to get water.
Were you by yourself completely?
I saw him.
I saw him.
He showed me his ticket for his seat.
Told me he can't believe it, their seats.
When I go, well how are you down here?
He goes, I had to go buy a floor ticket.
Then I asked him, where is Mike Fennoyer?
He goes, up in the seats.
He said he was all good.
He said he couldn't afford to get a ticket
because he just, you know, him and his wife
just bought a house or something.
I'm like, why did he have to say that?
Like, why didn't you just fix it?
And he's like, I don't know.
You just left him up there.
He's like, he said he's good.
I gotta go.
And he ran inside.
So he basically.
Nothing's gonna do.
So he basically, this is what he did.
This is what he did to Mike.
He went, I'm going down to the floor.
This is my band.
Are you good?
And Mike was, as a man who is married, has a house,
yeah, I'm good.
But you can't say, no, I'm not good, dude.
I wanna be up here by myself. I wanna be with my friends. I thought I was good, but you can't say, no, I'm not good, dude. I wanna be up here with myself. I wanna sit by myself.
I wanna be with my friends.
I thought I was supposed to go with you guys down there.
That's the plan.
That's the thing I was sold.
And now I'm standing by myself.
By myself. Like a doof.
Right, and now he's put me in a position
where I, again, feel like, yo, I'm trying to get everybody
together for this thing, and now you just left
one of my people behind
You do like I have to deal with this Mike is your Mike is your dog Mike is one of your puppies. I
Thought you meant dog like da WG
No, but Mike is Mike is your but Mike's who I invited Mike I invited Mike look at Mike's all of our friends, but Mike is your pet
He's one of your close pals. You know what I mean? Yeah, it'd be like if I took Colin or somebody.
Yeah, exactly, so.
Of course, you'd feel the most responsibility for him.
I felt the most responsibility for Mike,
but it's also that responsibility,
I mean, in a friendship responsibility,
where I'm like, of course you're gonna sit with us.
I wouldn't ask you to come to this concert
and sit somewhere else.
Bonnie and Rich.
Yes.
Is it?
No.
Sorry. Oh, you thought you fucked Bonnie? Yeah, no? and rich yes is it no sorry no the code yeah no no no we can go back to that
okay I'm sorry just shot it in my head more questions like you were I know you
said this on my name Christine we're just keeping that we fucking boned out
Bonnie I wouldn't shot it the biz I give my the biz you give her the biz now sure
No, Bonnie's pretty I was in Bonnie's pretty now Bonnie's yeah Bonnie's pretty
Pretty no, I'm kidding
She's very funny, yeah
Very smart. What we saying Christine about what I say? You were gonna get the ticket.
Like part of the conversation was like I'll just grab the ticket.
Well, I don't know if I...
Because I explained...
Jacob, you'll remember because you're getting this all like third hand.
Did I say that?
Yeah.
You had told Josh that you were gonna take care of the tickets and he insisted, no, no,
I got a hookup.
No, no.
I'll do this.
Well, there was that, but I'm saying when I already bought tickets and Josh was just figure it out for like, you know himself and if he wanted to get four with backstage passes give him to whoever
Then it got dialed back to he had one plus one. I said do you want to do that?
Can you give that to Fanoia or I'll buy him one now? Yeah, or is it okay?
Well, let me see what I can get and then I was just leaving like if you can't think you do it
I'll just buy it. I got it. No, no, no, I got a plus one
I go and that plus one you're not are you bringing he's like he's like well
I thought maybe Feeny Mike Feeny and so I go but you're only getting one
I go if you're gonna give defeat just I just need to know what you're gonna do with it or
Give it to Finoia where I'll buy one. Yeah, I got it
And then it was and then it was a seat seat and he just left Mike.
That's where we're at.
And then when he sees me, he has to go watch Mars Volta right away.
No text.
Obviously Mike's not texting me.
I feel like we're doing Mike into service by Josh.
He couldn't afford it.
He didn't want to spend the money on the ticket.
No, no, no.
Let me tell you something.
As a guy who can afford it, I wouldn't want to spend the money.
Mike's not broke.
He just didn't want to spend the money.
When somebody says, you're getting floor seats this,
if somebody says, yo, you're going into the snake pit,
and you don't get into the snake pit,
and your son's heart is broken.
Bobby, we don't talk to that guy anymore.
You're right, I'm sorry, I brought something up.
You know what?
We cut all ties now.
Mike Cannon, Mike Cannon and his wife.
Bobby, I'm really happy you brought that up right there.
Why?
Because it's a fantastic example actually.
Is it?
We were told we were getting in the snake pit.
We did not get in the snake pit.
At no point did I try to solve or correct that situation
for just me and Christine or just me.
I was like, we're all gonna,
and when we went down the floor and Max goes,
I actually don't like it here, I wanna go back to the seat.
Let's all go back to the seats.
And I would go, wherever we're at, we're all at.
We're all at, accommodating Jay.
Cause you would have been happy,
hey let's go down here and stand on the,
but you knew Max wouldn't be able to see.
No, he can't see, so let's go back up to the seats.
And we enjoyed, but it was still great.
And we had a good time, why?
Cause we're all together.
We're all together.
We had a blast together.
I mean his heart was broken, but I think he said.
We had a blast in Metallica the other night and we all went sitting in seats. I'm the thing way to blast
I'm pretty sure he was like it hurts inside and I don't know how to make it go away dad. Listen
It's the reason he's gonna do something wildly violent one day. No doubt. Hopefully creatively hopefully it's creative
Listen listen, here's the thing it is is a, from Mike's perspective though,
to have a guy you don't, you're not,
Josh is your friend.
They're not tight.
Josh is your friend.
Yes.
We.
Exclusively, I think.
I want you to get a shirt that says,
Josh is my friend.
Josh's friend.
I said, I know you want everybody to be friends.
I go, none of my friends like each other.
Dude, I'm gonna have Josh Edemeyer's one and only friend. This said, I know you want everybody to be friends. I go, none of my friends like each other. Dude, I'm gonna have Josh Eddermeyer's
one and only friend is gonna be my chance.
Look at it, man, I like Josh.
I love him.
Yeah, I like him a lot.
That's why we were, it was incredibly, this behavior.
But as I'm saying, the word about this,
which I said I think even at the thing,
I go, this was, in every parental sense of the word,
I was very disappointed.
That's what it was, that's why I wasn't,
anger's the worst thing.
I'm angry, but more than anything,
I'm like, damn Josh, you fucking whiffed this night up hard
because you were just like,
I gotta do a thing, I gotta do a thing,
I gotta do a thing, I gotta do a thing,
and by the way, also the arrogance of going,
I have to be in there for Mars,
because that's gonna come back to him in some way because this guy who sings in the band who doesn't give to fucking box about Josh
Not see him or something. Here's what bothered me. What bothered me? We we all get these hamburgers
I don't know why Madison Square Garden these hamburgers are just amazing the cheeseburgers we get you don't need to put condiments on
It's so good. And I was like, I'm gonna get everybody hamburgers are just amazing. The cheeseburgers we get. You don't even need to put condiments on them.
It's so good.
And I was like, I'm gonna get everybody hamburgers.
I'm getting everybody a hamburger,
I got a couple hot dogs, and we got some chips.
And we all went to our little section where we go
and we ate, and they were great.
He came out.
After Mars Volta was over.
After Mars, and went and got his own hamburger.
Didn't even come over and go. Oh, that would have, he got food, right? And went and got his own hamburger. Didn't even come over and go.
Oh, that would have, he got food right there.
He went and got food.
He was getting napkins, I forgot.
You guys didn't remember this.
He went and got, so he didn't come to us and go,
let's get food or let's do something together.
He went and go, I'm gonna get my own food.
And he went and got food, came up to us eating,
and then was like, you guys already ate? Oh, good's like I don't that so he sees us down that hall see some
hall like I said you guys all want to go eat without Josh oh yeah I love
Christine suggest that it was a wonderful she goes want to eat with
Adam that'll make him mad ago yeah right away let's go get food and sit and have
a nice meal during the band
that he needed to go see.
We ate everything.
We protested.
There was chips left over and I smushed the bag.
We smashed them.
I pinched my fingers through the end of my burger
I wasn't eating.
I think we kinda threw out the hot dog.
I think we tossed the dog.
Yeah, we opened all the condiment packages
and he showed up, but he ruined that
because we didn't even get that, like, oh, you guys ate without me, which would've made us feel a little better. He's like, I he showed up, but he ruined that because we didn't even get that,
like, oh, you guys ate without me,
which would've made us feel a little better.
He's like, I ate without you, oh.
He walked out and was like, I already ate.
I'm glad you already ate.
So.
Just eating.
That bugged me.
When he comes over, it's hard for me to tell
the next part of the book, it's like.
Buddy, you sat down.
I wanna say publicly, I disagree with doing this in front of Isabella one
Christine and Bobby just like I probably should though just me and him I guess no
Listen to me dude. We're in our 40s and 50s. Okay, we're halfway through life. So
far further than that Jay that's so fucking sad don't ever do that again dude we're skipping over that like
during Mars Volta we're frantically trying to get a floor ticket
oh my god exit and where you bought Jacob Jacob I May have skipped over did I tell you this part?
That immediately my move is to start trying to find Mike. That's right before we go to get food
I tried before we go to food. I try to solve the problem
So I go let me see if I can get a floor ticket and I go and I look I type in the deaf tones
MSG I buy you're panicking you're panicking because I'm trying to just get and I see one and I go alright
You know a couple hundred bucks I go
All right, let me get it. Let me get this and just get it to him
And then we'll figure we'll sort it out, but let's just get everybody down here
I buy that ticket that I go and it says tickets confirmed, and I click on the link
It's a ticket for Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia the next day
So now I own this ticket that I ended up not being able to get rid of, so I just ate that.
Uh.
I couldn't, I could never claim the fucking ticket.
It sucks.
We just ate the fucking hundreds of dollars on that.
Just ate shit on that.
You bought a ticket for nobody.
And then I go, and then I go, Mike, I can't,
and then so I try, it's now because of the time
we've wasted, from the time that Josh bought one,
it's now blacked out you
can't buy them online anymore it's kind of we're too deep into the concert so
the only choice left was Fanoia go hey I'm like buddy I know you don't want to
sit up there by yourself you're not going I go so I guess walk out and we
all know once you go out we've already tried going to guest services we try
calling some if you go out you're out. They're not letting you back in even with your ticket and all that shit, but
The only option was like go out and see if you can get a ticket from the ticket booth for the floor
And he went out to the lobby and they were just flat out
It was like we don't have any general admissions like sold out now, so he goes alright, man
Well, I'm gonna get out of here, which made me just feel testy just leave me
And he's and Mike's trying to do the right thing too. He's like buddy buddy. Enjoy your night
I know it's your thing your band like don't don't over sweat it man. It's fine too nice about it
Yeah, he's like he's like I got to come see the house. He came by the house early days
I got to come see that um buddy. I'm fine. It'll be cuz he's a solid guy
He's just trying to go don't fucking ruin your nut cuz he went home
He's he went home and bummed out because we try to call him later, and he wasn't like his phone was off
He was like he did the man thing yep. He's a solid dude man
He is he didn't want he could have fucked up your night
Made you feel terrible and made you want to leave and go or even if you would just over complained about Josh that night
Right that would have laid
Something on me because I was like I'm like now. I have to like even be angry or Josh somehow
But he didn't he was just like dude. It is what it is. He didn't say anything about Josh
He wasn't even like yeah, Josh kind of did a dick movies like no
But when he just said the thing when I was like Josh said that you said you wanted to stay up there
He's like what am I gonna say?
He's like what I'm gonna say me is like I just bought any said the same because I told him I just got a house Can I say I don't gonna say? He's like, what am I gonna say, man? He's like, I just bought it. And he said the same thing,
because I told him I just got a house.
I didn't plan on spending an extra 350 bucks.
Here's the thing.
How much money do you make a year?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
$200 less, because of you.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
Josh, the fact that you, nobody in the world,
at a concert with a group of friends,
if you say, hey, you cool being by yourself up here?
Nobody is.
Nobody's going to say, yes, you're going to say, I'm fine.
Go do your thing.
But you presented it as I got to go do this.
These are my friends.
I have to go down there for them.
Are you good by yourself up here?
Yes, I'm a grown adult
Yes, I will be fine, but it sucks a bag of shit and you know it you know And you know it sucks a bag of shit. You're just trying to get yourself guilt-free
Yeah, are you cool? You're good. Bye. No, I'm not guys. He's like running away buddy
This is the famous one of my favorite stories. It's taking me emotionally there
Describing a thing that's we brought up the other day,
Keith Robinson, dude, when we all would come up in my car
most of the time, my fucking Saturn, I believe it was,
and Keith took it to the comic strip
and was meeting me and Kevin Hart back down by the strip
or by the cellar, and he pulled up out front
while me, Patrice, and kev were standing outside and
Keith goes he goes hey, I'm gonna see this girl real quick. Is that cool?
Do you care goes you my guys going to Patrice's house?
For a little bit and I'll come grab you Patrice when he was in Jersey City
Yeah, you might go to Patrice's trees that can Patrice was just kind of like I don't give a fuck
But and but I don't say a word Keith goes
I'm gonna go for meet this chick for a minute and blah blah And then I was like um and he just drove away
And he came back three hours later to put your petris went to bed
It was just me and Kev playing Madden in his front thing and he showed up with the empty balls of like I play
I'm sorry man. I shouldn't have done that
stupid pussy and
But you know what God gave him a double stroke because of that. Because of that.
So now he can't use the right side of his body.
Now he can only cheat with his left.
Yeah.
Parma key.
Yeah.
You piece of shit.
So funny.
But that's where I'm on.
That would suck for Josh if he got to, I hear you talking.
Welcome to the comedy jam.
And listen.
We can't have Josh stroke out.
Listen, Josh and, yeah, please please Josh, don't have a stroke.
Um, we uh...
Where you from?
Ha! I'm from Jersey!
For ever!
Where can I find a moron?
This girl's got few titties in front row!
Stroke Josh, stroke Joshosh stroke josh is great
What's your name sing your name
So yeah, it's hard to make my blood boil he put put him in the position where Mike exactly is like, you're good, you're good, right?
So Mike just goes to go like, yeah, dude, I'm good, I guess.
Like I don't really feel like talking to you about my finances and why this is crazy.
Yeah.
You shouldn't have to say to somebody, hey, man, I just bought a house.
And that's a sentence you should have to say that you should never have to say that at
a concert.
You should never go, hey, man, I just bought a house.
I can't, I can't read. I can't buy an extra version of this ticket.
I can't buy a whole other ticket.
That you said you were gonna give me.
Yes.
So, cause I didn't plan on coming to a concert tonight.
No.
Until I was invited to go to the concert
and we got everything, we're all set up.
Yeah.
So.
I said we went to the Stones, it's like,
if you invite people and you go,
hey, we have these two tickets, they're not with us.

No, that's what happened. I just I came out and I go
and before you even asked, I go, and I'm not going to talk about some bonfire
because you say the bonfire people mean you and I'm not looking to get you
lumped up. But you know what?
You get a little lumped up over this, dude not looking to get you lumped up, but you know what?
You can get a little lumped up over this, dude.
You can get a little lumped up.
Listen, on food.
There's also some people that'll just be like,
fuck Fanoia, so he'll get some of his praise.
We all get lumped up, but here's the thing, you got,
okay, how do you not get lumped up?
This is a change, change this.
How do you not get lumped up?
By changing this.
Bang.
Yeah.
Bang.
Learn. Stop doing this?
Stupid shit fight your instincts fight your
Extraordinarily selfish instincts yeah fight your narcissism. It's what we all got it dude. Yeah, we all got it
But in this particular situation this is the oil and water that me and Josh will hit in this clearly in a situation
I am exactly that in situational
I'm a mother hen and
Josh is the guy that'll stand 50 yards away from you because he just started wandering to get closer and didn't
Even say like let's try to get closer. Yep. He just goes go go and you're like, okay
That's why I know when I took mushrooms that Rob Zombie show remember that was one of the things I pointed out
I go I don't even think I was able to detach. I loved it. I go Christine was
Maybe even five ten feet over here
She was kind of doing her thing and watching and Josh was in smushing that a front of anything
Justin was coming and I was just in my own world enjoy. I had such a blast
It was the first time that cut loose asked me it's always like
Can you see can you see and I'm like I I?
Was like I promise you I'll move if I can't see right promise
Well, he was Jay does that because there was certain points
where I was getting a little whacked
and he pulled me back,
because you are, which I like, man, to be honest with you.
It's sweet.
I'm trying to find you a nice spot to see.
Well, because you're a concert expert.
Can I call you that?
Sure.
And I'm not.
I never did concerts growing up that much.
I did a few, you know what I mean?
I never really, I have a big fear of groups. I have a fear of crowds, and, you know,
I really get, like, weirded out.
I feel like, because any time I...
You might get to meet Korn Drummer tonight
when I come to the show.
That's great.
Any time I get into a crowd in my life,
I got... I caught a beating.
You know what I mean?
Like, any time I was around a lot of people,
I'm getting my ass kicked,
or somebody's gonna fight, and it sucked.
That's why any time I get around a group of people, I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna have to kicked or somebody's gonna fight and it sucked. That's why anytime I get around a group of people
I'm like fuck, I'm gonna have to fight somebody.
I'm worrisome looking for aggression at a concert.
I don't mean looking for it to happen.
I try to see where it is and get away from it.
We had a fan at that concert,
if you remember, the one when Deftones came over.
First announced he was on acid, him and his friend,
and then he just spit all over my clothes.
He goes, he came over. We moved back a little bit to give him a birth
because he was like they're big guys remember they're little stocky dudes
like muscular and he was like very like what just that kind of energy of that
like throw a lot of fist pumping you're like let me give this guy a bit of a
wide berth and then he just comes over he goes James awesome and he and I mean
just laid it all over me I'm like I was I actually got into a vibe in that concert. I was just kind of bobbing and enjoying it
I had this beautiful view of everything and I had like maybe three people in front of me room
Nobody's and then out of nowhere
This person with the biggest afro in the world
Ran the woman just stood in front of me. It looked like she was told to go to that exact spot.
She was just wider and just taller than you with the fro.
And just blocked you completely.
I was like, what the fuck?
And Jay grabbed me and just slowly moved me to my right.
There's a whole other position over here, dude.
You're good.
But I'm going to send you the picture that it is nuts.
It's funny.
But anyway, so Mike ends up having to leave,
not giving any kind of grief about it.
He's doing like a guy, buddy, I'm fine.
Please go enjoy the show.
Don't, he even says, like,
don't let this ruin your night, buddy.
It's no big deal.
I'm fine.
And he leaves.
So then Josh sees us after he's scarfed his burger,
which he probably did.
He was.
And I'm speculating, he scarfed a burger before he found us.
So he has a reason to get a burger with us.
He got it, no, I saw him up in line.
He got a burger and then he walked over with a half a burger
eating it like, yeah, he was eating while you were
dressing him down in one, I mean it was-
Let's not call it that.
Buddy, it is that.
What do you wanna call it, Jay?
What are we, we're gonna rename it.
Well, you were there, was it a dressing down?
Yes.
Yeah, as Bobby said, I mean, at home.
It's one of the nicest, here's what the problem is.
When you get dressed down, like if I dress you down,
it's with fuck anger, mean face,
which I'd rather prefer that than what you did.
You're calm, I mean stoic, smiling, dressing down.
It was, it was, it was.
Jacob.
It was enjoyable, very enjoyable.
It, I was, I was, when I saw him, I,
what really almost got me to the laughter point of it
is it's such a cartoon of a situation that,
when he comes over he goes, you're like,
hey, do you guys see Miles Volta?
And it's like, well you don't see Fanoia here
and you know when you ran off I was like,
I have to figure this out.
So no.
Oh, and I was just like, dude, you are a fucking,
and it was like, it was the most earnestly,
but like, I was just like, I said I was,
no other word for it, I was so disappointed. I'm like, buddy, that was the most egot I was said I was just no other word for I was so disappointed on my buddy
That was the most egotistical fucking thing. I've ever witnessed you do and I've seen you do a lot of wacky ego things
Narcissistic selfish behavior and I go that's fucking crazy what you did tonight, man
But you were sitting down looking up with this smirk and he was like what no he said he was good
I said I said are you good and he said I'm good.
What I said was, I go, Josh, this is my favorite thing
that I said of it, I go,
cause I've never gotten to use these terms before.
I've done it before, I've done this thing before,
so I know what the term is.
And I go, Josh, on this one, I go,
let's get it all clear, you started off,
we had four tickets and four backstage passes
from your best friend the lead singer
Cedric whose name I only know now because Josh said it's 30 times Cedric
Was hooking us up with this
I said I don't care about backstage passes, but those floor seats are great
And then when I knew we already had five people I said I'm buying four and
Josh is the fifth so Josh is getting getting, cause he knows the guy.
And then Josh got, so I said this started off
with you getting four backstage passes, four floor seats,
and then you getting two seats that you just left behind
and fucked Mike over on.
I go, I haven't, you way over promised.
You went from best friends to fans.
And fucking crazy under delivered.
I'm like, it's the most under delivering of things
I've ever seen.
You actually did nothing except make this harder and worse.
He was like, what?
He went, no, I said I could,
let's all get, what?
As he's eating his second burger.
But I just was like, as I said, I go,
I wanna enjoy the show.
I need to enjoy the show.
So stop talking, stop saying excuses,
and just say, you fucked up. You went, I need you. Yeah, stop saying excuses and just say you fucked up you and I need you
Yeah, you tell me you fucked up and we can continue this night and I can go enjoy the show
But I can't sit here and have you do a bunch of well
I thought but he said and you do you fucked up royally and he goes I
fucked up
Then we did was adorable and funny was then he stood so he started talking
to the guy and then just like that guy wasn't even talking anymore Josh just
kept like a ten yards to the left of us and sort of in front of a thing that by
like the six or seven song I just message I texted him as I see him in his phone just sad face down
Yeah, probably trying to text Fennoy who ain't hearing it
I want to hear it and
He's by that I just text him I go. Hey dickface stop self quarantining
You pansy like some stand with us you fucking dope. I got Josh put himself on punishment. Yeah
Like some stand with us you fucking dope. I said I got Josh put himself on punishment. Yeah
Well, that's the problem and he shouldn't do this because this is a bad move to it this is another
Life lesson I think you do and I think we're all guilty of it But I'm just saying I saw it third party because if you recall Bobby, I think you said something about that. He did the immediate
He was like he's like he's like I fucked up and I was like, alright good
Let's go watch the show and this is it. That's it.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Yeah.
And he was just like, I'm a fucking bad piece.
I'm a bad person.
I'm a piece.
And you're like, stop doing that.
That's you're trying to get us to all go.
You're not.
You're not.
I love you.
No, that's we all love you, buddy.
But you fucking whiffed hard tonight.
Dude, I hate the one thing I do.
Mike, Mike, Mike probably doesn't love you.
Can I say something?
I'm going to say this right now the one thing I even with my son. I go listen when you fuck up just own it
I do not want to deal with this forever. I want you to own it
Try not to do it again, and let's go do what we're doing
I don't want to have this an all-day thing where we get a fuck. Just you know you
Stop you had to pull off on a walk to kiss to talk to Max.
Yep.
You didn't like what he was doing on the walk over.
Nope.
And you're like, we're gonna get right back into the group
and start walking like this isn't happening
or we're getting out of here.
That's right.
We're gonna walk the fuck away
or you're gonna get your shit together.
And you did.
And that's it.
We didn't even know what was going on.
That's the Afro lady.
Buddy, is that?
She's standing, I mean her head is just blocking the band exactly. on. That's the Afro lady. Buddy, is that? I mean, she's standing,
I mean her head is just blocking the band exactly.
Buddy. That's a great picture.
I was sitting there and I was in a-
There's the ghost of Patrice saying
you shouldn't have been there.
But that's Patrice's mom.
Why are you here, Bobby?
Why didn't you call me?
Buddy, I was enjoying, at this moment of the time,
I felt like I was on drugs.
Cause this band- It's trippy. It's very trippy and I was like, I this moment of the time, I felt like I was on drugs. Because this band- It's trippy.
It's very trippy, and I was like, I had my hoodie on.
I put it on because I had,
I stuck my little things in my ears.
Because I didn't bring plugs.
And people were throwing drinks,
and the worst thing, water or whatever,
liquid on your head as a ball guy,
I would have been disgusted, I would have had to leave.
So I put my hoodie on, and then,
and I was embarrassed because I had my strings in my ears,
so I didn't want to be that guy.
And I went into some mode,
and I was just kind of rocking out.
This woman ran in front of me,
stopped directly in front of me, right like that,
and I was infuriated.
Why?
And I moved you.
If I had a razor,
I would have just shaved the middle of her afro
Oh, so I could see see right through it. Just make a little tunnel like Wiley Coyote
Yeah, like when they put the wires up for the telephone through the forest scan Josh
Yeah, I should know the most heard and Lou I think you've been the several concert me now
Yeah, and the most hurt now lose God was funny. We went to was the one that I he was showing me the ropes a bit of
hurt now lose guys was funny we went to was the one that I he was showing me the ropes a bit of
Pearl Jam But I'm saying for the most part the thing I say most when I especially when I organize or I have an idea
Let's all go to metallic. Let's all go to whatever is that what you're gonna hear most and probably at it to a point
We're gonna be like I wish Jay would just relax and enjoy himself
But you're gonna hear me go many times times. Everybody good? You can see here.
Are you guys sitting right behind us?
Let's see if the people right behind us
will switch with your seats.
I can't calm down until like, they're like, buddy,
we're just two rows away off to the right.
I go, I don't want to point at you from far away.
We're all supposed to be here in this thing.
Yeah, I know.
So like, it bothers me.
So I feel like, to be like, I left Mike up there with his thumb up his butt
You're probably fine with that right you mixed your worlds dude. You gotta stop mixing your worlds
Rock meetings we're all supposed to be the good people know how to act and behave
I can't you know I gave Josh a second talking to then I when he came over yeah
He came over your house after that no when he came over from his punishment
I was talking to him, and I was just like like Josh I go this is what I don't understand I go you didn't even like I go nobody reached out to us I go
Mike's not gonna reach out to us I'm like you didn't even text us I go why
didn't you just buy two tickets and go well we'll figure it out after yeah I've
never hung Josh out to in fact we would have just taken care and by the way I
will say Josh has paid for tickets that we've that we want to before
I've done it
Definitely more but it's not even a pissing contest of that
That it's like just in the fact that we do that for each other like just do it
Do you know I will sort it out Josh you've bought tickets and then go I just I panicked we were gonna lose them
So I got tickets and they're $400 apiece and I go I'll give you $400 apiece like we do want to go
So okay there $400 a piece and I go I'll give you $400 a piece like we do want to go so who cares? I go to not just think of it in that sense and I go you're like an
excited puppy you were just like Mars Volta Mars Volta Mars Volta and you ran
off I go what was that? I wish I had a camera in the room for the 50th time that
Josh texted Cedric and Cedric goes he looks at his phone he goes Josh oh my god dude what like I got your tickets what I thought they're on the
floor and then have to look yeah and be like I don't know man I told them floor
I can't we're playing at the Madison Square Garden in five seconds you
fucking weirdo this is why I go the performers like knowing somebody's
assistant is so much better than knowing the performer.
Could you imagine going on at the Garden
and then looking down at your stupid phone,
I thought you said four four seats.
It's only two seats regular.
I toured with Korn all that time.
They're doing MetLife Stadium.
I'm talking, Ray, I said the drummer might come tonight,
the story wars, I've known him for years.
Because we have so many people going,
I'm not even wasting my time going,
can you get me four for the MetLife with System of a Down?
I'm just gonna buy him.
And you know what he's doing?
I'm just gonna buy him because 19 people we know are going.
Do you know what he's doing because of that?
Thank you, Jay.
He's going thank you.
Because the last thing he wants to deal with is.
If I go four, but he's gonna go,
it's four tickets, tickets Same as Mars Volta
Technically corn's opening it's a co-headline, but the big thing is like system of it down never tours. Mm-hmm
They never played it. So it's them corn always tours. So it's awesome. You're gonna get to see fucking corn in this arena and them
so ask him for four tickets might just be like
it's also the only show was they're playing with system of it down so he might have a
Thousand other people more important in his life than me that want this so I'll go
Everyone's gonna be on the floor. It's very simple. I'm not asking for a good seat
I don't have to get the best available seats from CAA and buy them like that
Just buy floor tea doesn't matter everyone's in the floor. So it's nice and easy. I don't have to bother anybody
It's easier is Josh going
Is Fanoia going I mean I want him to he's not gonna well he's not gonna rely on Josh that's for God
They're not gonna sit next to Josh either
Can Jesus H do listen man? He's got a But he did he really did feel bad. Oh yeah. It's not like he ended this being like fuck you guys. No he wasn't like fuck you guys. He was like I fucked up. He was too self-loathing. But did he call Mike? He tried. He tried? Yeah. And Mike didn't pick up? I don't think so. You're right it was like the empty ball thing it was like after Mars Volta he was be like, oh, I guess that was bad of me.
He tried to call Mike that night,
and we tried to call Mike to laugh at Josh over it.
We wanted to really spill some tea on Josh.
And then he was going right to voice man.
I was like, Dan, he said, he was like,
yeah dude, I just went home.
Even like Lisa was like, you're coming home now.
What happened?
He's like, I really don't want to get in.
He's like, I don't want to get in.
I just, it didn't work.
Lisa had a teleconstruction guy to leave.
He's coming home now. You gotta get out of here
Yeah, I talk at him out. He's in the backyard all day doing your job
I mean dude literally Mike just went out and did yard work and felt sad
