The last day of The Bonfire in Nashville is spent clearing the air over a situation involving Josh Adam Meyers at a Deftones show. Josh over-promised and under delivered tickets to the sold out Madison Square Garden show. Comic and friend Mike Finoia was left out in the cold as a result. Big Jay had to scramble to fix the situation that left a few people unhappy. Bobby was having fun at the show until his view got blocked by a huge afro.

Bobby and Jay are live in front of a Nashville studio audience at SiriusXM studios. Kid Rock snubs Jay at the Ryman Auditorium show the night before.

Most of the Bonfire crew broadcasts live from the SXM Nashville studios. Black Lou and Jacob are on Zoom and one of them is furious because his microphone sounds like a transmission from the moon. Kelly Clarkson sings The Outfield and her wink at the crowd sends Bob into a tizzy. Bobby goes into the woods to play paintball with his son and friends and it turns into a zombie apocalypse.

As the gang waits for legendary rockstar Billy Idol to grace the studio, they brainstorm questions to ask him and try to create a cool nickname for Bobby. When Billy enters, Bob peppers him with many compliments. Jay shows off his interviewing skills with questions about the "Cradle Of Love" girl in the video. Billy once lived in New York City for a while and tells of his early punk days. He was in the The Doors movie with Val Kilmer who passed away days ago. Bob says that Billy basically stole the "Wedding Singer" movie with his surprise appearance in the end. Billy Idol is on tour at the end of April and has a new album "Dream Into It" which the guys are really digging so far.

Bobby unearths a video of Sly Stallone on the Phil Donahue Show talking about his son who has a severe condition. The guys search for any other mention of his unknown son since the 80's. The Family Stallone is a reality show that showcases the women in Sly's family only. Jay has a crush on an Instagram model who has special needs. He pays money for her Onlyfans and gets scammed in more ways than one!

Jacob gets really attached to the funny men that have visited The Bonfire over the years. Maybe a little too attached. Based on that premise, Bobby wrote a sitcom called "Jacob Loves Guys" and the gang performs his script. Jay takes away a fun sound effect from the winners of "Story Wars." Rosie O'Donnell gets political on an Irish talk show and Megyn Kelly does not easy on her.

The new Snow White movie is awful for many reasons but the choice to use CGI dwarves is the worst. Jay remembers the Chuck Norris film "The Delta Force" where the Arabic terrorist was just a poorly spray-tanned Robert Forster. Everyone has a good laugh at the ridiculous ending of the movie. Bob and Jay debate about their Farrah Abraham interview. They conduct an investigation as to whether her turd hit the floor or the toilet in her scat video. The crew gangs up against Jay because he denies that he's an expert in poop porn.

Impractical Joker Joe Gatto has young women accusing him of inappropriate behavior. Jay can relate because he's in an open relationship and has hung out with young fans. Bobby thinks there may be a problem with excess and addiction. Christine lends a woman's perspective because she dated older men and hates being bit. Jacob eating fruit on the air leads to a health food conversation. Jay wears comfortable pants on a plane and gets aroused. Christine ruins a perfectly good joke by interrupting the show with facts.

It's Women's History Month and the Bonfire celebrates with a quiz designed to test Big Jay and Christine of their knowledge of feminine glory. Jacob becomes the host of the game show but his confidence is not what it used to be. He is worried that he might have AIDS based on the commercials that are targeted to him when streaming. His usual flare is not present and it shows. The history quiz is a funny, competitive journey through female accomplishments with lots of bells and whistles.
Jay and Bobby are co-headlining at The Seneca Niagara Hotel and Casino in Niagara Falls NY tonight and tomorrow!

Comedian Rosebud Baker returns to catch up with the guys and promote her new Netflix special "The Mother Lode." Bobby and Rosebud were with comic Pete Lee soon after his home burned down in the L.A. fires. Pete goes on Jimmy Fallon's show to tell his story and Bob discovers that he was renting his L.A. house not an owner. Jay remembers when his home got flooded in Hurricane Sandy and his maid had to dry out all his pornographic materials. Bobby shares a video of him falling down yet again.

Adult star and former Teen Mom talks to the guys about her new foray into stand-up comedy. She makes her comedy debut at the Spearmint Rhino in NYC tonight, and who better to give advice than Jay and Bob? Farrah reveals that she had some realizations on ketamine about her time on Teen Mom.

Jay and Bobby have a co-headlining stand up show and it's promoted with a tiny picture of Bob. Jacob started a workout club for the Bonfire men except Jay. Jacob is accused of bullying the workout group, especially DJ Lou. Jay revisits the idea of a show called "The Odd Trouple" where Jacob and both Lou's must live together. Another group was formed, The Bonfire Book Boys. They discuss literary works they've enjoyed. Judge for yourself if Jacob is indeed the bully in these many new Bonfire spin-off groups!
Big Jay's "Them" is new on YouTube. Go see the great Robert Kelly on tour at punchuplive.com/robertkelly
