Luis J. Gomez & Big Jay Oakerson

Date: 2025-06-18 | Duration: 3h 25m

Episode Overview

Comedian Big Jay Oakerson is back for a wide-swinging conversation with Joe that ranges from jujitsu weight-cutting horror stories to David Carradine's death, ancient Sumerian history, and the surreal world of modern protest politics. Jay celebrates his weight loss and fitness journey before they get into the mechanics of cutting weight in martial arts — including watching a guy look absolutely destroyed at the scale and still miss weight. They debate the King's List from ancient Mesopotamia, the Roman practice of throwing prize-filled wooden balls into crowds (occasionally sparking violence), Tesla reliability vs. phone reliability, and the details of David Carradine's death scene. Jay also breaks down a Walmart-funded protest event designed to counter anti-Trump demonstrations, and shares his experience on the Kill Tony panel where his timing and delivery shone.
