    Salt The Slug Slobby Kelly
    Man , this show the best back then. Who thought it was a great idea to add that awful time capsule bobby to the show , went from a fun edgy podcast to The View .
  • Rich in Ohio
    Two of the Best
    Not only are Bobby, and Big Jay two of the funniest people alive, their whole crew are great! One of my favorite parts of the show is when Jacob is heard laughing in the background!😂😂😂 Never been disappointed with The Bonfire!!!!
  • v19k
    Shows Gone
    This new dynamic is slowly making me Hate Bobby, the whole show is kinda disgusting to listen to now.
  • Cobison
    Unlistenable
    Bobby is not funny nor interesting! This show use to be so entertaining. Now it’s just sad jay and mushy mouth bob… Big Jim should be fired!!!!

    Great show, but…
    I’ve been a fan of this show for years, listening to Big J, Robert Kelly, and Dan Soder across their other podcast as well. It’s still a good time—mostly. But can someone tell me when Big J turned into a catty 13-year-old mean girl? It’s less ‘ha-ha’ and more ‘ew, chill.’ The vibe’s getting weird, and not in a funny way.
  • Timo_Mc
    Can we have less talk about remodeling you million dollar houses please
    Im just a bitter renter, but please spare me the remodeling woes
  • ltm163
    Relatable
    This is a great listen. I have related to a lot of the silly things they talk about. Ohh. The good ol days. Thanks guys
  • jessica fig
    Replace Bobby with Tim Butterly
    That’s all.
  • Bellysavalis
    Dan Soder has his own podcast
    Just go listen to the Dan Soder podcast called “Soder”. When it was him and Jay, the Bonfire was great. Lots of topics, music, movies, documentaries. Now without Dan, Jay talks about how big he thinks other males p*nises are. Every episode it somehow devolves into that. Bobby Kelly is no help, he’s where good jokes go to die. “I’m Bobby Kelly, dude. Let me take the joke you just told and make it worse. Duuuude!”
  • Gage 563
    Replace Bobby with Tim
    or literally anybody else
  • BigE in Lincoln Park
    The Best
    Big Jay, Bobby, & the Crew are hilarious!! I Laugh out loud every show…. Thank you 🔥
  • dequace
    Paywall?
    Subscribed a few months ago and I’ve been meaning to start listening to the show, which updates EVERY single day, and now I see that a percentage of the episodes are behind a paywall. Not making me want to start listening to it, knowing that’s how it will end.
  • IchItheKiller
    This show is only for them
    They 100% make a show that makes them and only them laugh. They chew on the radio they whisper they do everything that would annoy your ears. It’s tough to like this show anymore.
  • #1!!!!!!!!
    I can’t believe two retards can make a living doing this
    I can’t believe they get paid to ramble on about nothing. Robert Kelly is one of the dumbest people on earth. I wish big j would just hurry up and come out of the closet
  • Fronuh
    Losing steam
    With Dan leaving and this whole Apple subscription thing it just feels like the show is on its last legs. Seems like everyone else in the studio is just phoning it in until the show inevitably ends lol
  • HBalsa
    R Kelly ruined the show
    Please fire Bobby. He isn’t funny, doesn’t have anything to say. Huge misogynist, racist and just plain boring. He isn’t a “real man”. He is a lost boy trying to play alpha. And he cuts off Jay, doesn’t get jokes because he is too busy only thinking of himself. Had to stop listening so I wouldn’t pull out my hair. Big mistake
  • McConahy1764
    Babies
    Everyone crying about a paywall probably buys stuff online all the time and doesn’t realize you can get Sirius for free all the time… sign up, say you’ll cancel. Wahhhhh I’ve listened for so long 😂😂😂
  • louda42
    It’s been fun
    I canceled my Sirius subscription because of Bobby Kelly. Been listening every day for years. Gonna miss the Jay and the crew. Maybe I’ll watch the next project you guys do( If Bobby isn’t included)✌️
  • StinkFingerPHD
    This will hurt the show in my opinion
    The paywall is a mistake, not too late to roll that back.
  • White Mormon
    Now with a paywall
    Peace out. Nice while it lasted
  • Bll5787457
    Subscription kills a great podcast
    Listened to the podcast almost daily for years and having Bobby continue the show with Jay has been great.. Sad to see its pretty much all behind a paywall now RIP
  • Johnnydc4l
    COMEDY LEGEND BIG JAY!
    And robert kelly, are super funny. Listen daily
  • Loggy92
    Wrecked the feed with subscriber content
    I’ve been using Apple Podcasts for over a decade and I’m not into this new subscription model. Now there are 5 shows on the top of the feed before the free episode. So I’m going to miss a ton because I’m not sorting through what’s free and what paid everytime I go to find an episode. Clean it up
  • Mhj300
    Missing Dan
    Been a longtime listener…understand why Dan left but it’s not the same. Bobby is a great comedian but that doesn’t translate into being a great radio/podcast host. He stunk on O&A and everything since. The subscription thing is laughable. Time to move on.
  • Why6289
    Free trial?
    It’s a podcast Love the show but I’m not going to pay for the radio or a podcast
  • flurrida
    I ain’t payin.
    -Not Dan
  • Gone2bed
    Over rated
    Little j is a waste a of time. Soft dude, who thinks he’s a tough Philly guy. Weak jokes, silly lines that his employee’s on the show have to roll with.
  • Richpurefan
    Big jay
    Your love for a broken puppet is wonderful I can’t wait to hear the recap
  • Hdhshshsis
    Freaking hilarious!!!
    😂🤣😅😂
  • jtshaner
    Not Dan
    Bobby’s takes are that of a 75 year old. This show is getting older by the day…
  • LIKEGHEE
    Still think this is better w Bobby
    I always thought that impersonation isn’t really comedy. Now Dan Soder just impersonates Shane Gillis - even has the website - kinda weasel vibe
  • Penetr8sDeep
    Not sure if I’m supposed to roast???
    Based on other reviews, it seems like I’m supposed to roast the hosts while giving them 5 stars…however, I will not. Although it WAS better with Dan, Bobby brings a certain “old guy” aspect to the show. I absolutely adore and despise Jacob, (as everyone should)… black Lou and Christine are phenomenal background characters. Everyone has the ability to be so unlikeable … and yet so charming and blunt. Jay is an absolute honest GEM! (that comedy, AND THE WORLD, needs more of). I sincerely hope that they read these reviews because as an old school fan of the show… I think they’d appreciate this. Crackle crackle @djbartjenkins 😚
  • Longtimecallerfirsttimefan
    meh
    Replace Bobby with Derosa and the show would be enjoyable again

    Is such a fat idiot.
  • Heavydutyfruity
    Jacob is unbearable
    He need to shut his mouth.
  • Pigasaurus78
    Get rid of dead weight
    Would be 5 stars without that lump Bobby
  • Steveweiser503
    Gross
    Between the fatness and smokers ashtray of a voice…hearing Jay just spew absolute filth makes me physically recoil. He’s like edgy 13 year old. Bobby is just terrible.
  • wolfman_weld
    Jay became unlistenable
    Only ever talks about weird pedo stuff or gay porn. Bobby’s not Dan. Just end it.
  • bfantaye
    Hand Binoculars
    Been a loooong time listener but had to write a review after pulling up a portable chair around the fire and listening to this episode! You guys are amazing and Dan’s farts don’t smell. #cracklecrackle Love you, Jeans! 👖 🔥
  • Mr. Right now.
    Da best, duuuude!
    The pod is a staple of my morning routine. The whole crew is the best there is
  • Shiveybaby
    What happened to the show
    Constantly watching videos we can’t see if we are just listening to the podcast like I’d assume most people are makes for a terrible show. We CANT see what you guys are looking at?! This was never the format before.
  • no one should be named Thad
    Not good anymore
    ^ For brevity, title says it all. Bye

    Penis talk
    For a room of straight men, they spent WAY too much time discussing other men’s organs
  • 12freebrady
    Painful
    Bobby Kelly kills every jay joke that follow up is horrible. It’s what we miss bout soder. Disappointing
  • I am The IPhone kid
    We miss Soder
    Show was funnier with Soder. Hard to believe how much of a gullible maga meathead Bobby is.
  • Bonevelle
    Good show but was better with soder
    Bring back soder!
