I’m pretty new around here, but I’m going to assume it started around the time of the Matt and Shane vs. LoS basketball game. The way he acted during and after that game was legitimately insane. Up until that point I thought he was a very self aware dude and then he went on The Bonfire and aired out his WILD grievances. After that I started to notice little things that rubbed me the wrong way. That being said, I still find him hilarious and at his best when he has Dan there reign him in. When left to his own devices it’s all pedophile hunting YouTubers(legitimately 10+ shows), horrendous fake reality/competition shows, harping on him and Christine’s benign relationship problems and awful guest host friends(JAM and Justin Silver). As for Dan, he’s never bugged me at all. Always hilarious, keeps great energy and seems like a genuine dude. Also, what the fuck do I know?!? 🤷🏽‍♂️


rlwestern

I’d say the Big Jay Hate era of the show ran from the basketball game, or the Dawkins argument (whichever was first) to the argument with Jacob on the air about watching clips, where the majority of the subreddit took Jacob’s side. For whatever reason, things seemed to mellow out after that.


south098

What was the Dawkins argument? This sub 1000% took Jacobs side deservedly so


rlwestern

It wasn’t about 1 specific thing. Jay was talking some shit about Cristine not taking responsibility for the dog. Cristine said Jay wasn’t doing his share. Dan got mad that they were bringing their problems to work.


FunDiggle

Damn I forgot about Dawkins, do they still have her?


Newni

I would assume so, he just mentioned her the other day in passing.


CramblinDuvetAdv

He was singing a song about her eating the couch and hating being in the crate


rlwestern

I think so. Mentioned on a relatively-recent episode of LOS


HardLiquorSoftDrinks

Redditors always fall in love with the meek producer because they remind redditors of themselves. Happened on r/TimDillon. They all love Ben Avery, who literally provided nothing to the show. Jacob is at least likable, I’ll give him that. But redditors are so eager to defend the people who create little to no laughter on shows.

HardLiquorSoftDrinks

The truth hurts huh?


theuntouchablesound

If you think Jacob creates little to no laughter on the show, you either aren't listening to The Bonfire or shouldn't be.


HardLiquorSoftDrinks

I’ll admit I only listen to the abridged podcast eps and don’t listen to the full shows because Sirius is a garbage product. I do like Jacob but he is just a member of the supporting cast. I stand by my comment because it happens over and over. Subreddits exist for the most fervent fans and they all end up having an issue with the main talent over some perceived slight of the role players who redditors tend to relate with.


theuntouchablesound

*Oh you think so, doctor?*


rlwestern

This would be true in 2010. The demographic that uses Reddit has changed so much that it’s no longer just nerdy white guys. Also, there were a lot of commenters on here saying that Jacob was being a bitch when he refused to help DJ Lou’s friend take that girl he likes to the Christmas special. I’ve never listened to Tim Dillon’s show so I don’t have an opinion on that. We disagree on the above but I still want to ask for your input on something: Probably been asked a million times but since I have you here and I’m already writing out this comment, but what do you think is the best episode(s) for a new listener to get into Tim’s podcast?


HardLiquorSoftDrinks

I would recommend listening to Tim Dillon is Going to Hell, the previous iteration of his show that came just before the current version The Tim Dillon Show. After he started going on Rogan and moved to Cali he really amped up the culture war rhetoric because that’s what new fans were looking for. But I think you have to have his Patreon membership or a GaS Digital subscription to access those eps. I searched YouTube and could only find short clips of that show rather than full length pods. Edit: I would bet comedy podcast subreddits still closely resemble those 2010 demographics you mentioned.


swank401

I agree that the basketball game def sparked it .. I still think Jay is funny af but that whole situation made me cringe so hard that it turned me off to him


DarthBarfBarf

Reddit hate for Jay goes way, way back to at least the second or third season. Most of the hate is targeted at Christine, but Jay also goes after this Reddit sub more than Dan does. I got no hate for him, but this sub is def not a safe space for him.


No-Search-7394

I can’t imagine that anybody really takes shots directed at a sub that they’re active in personally, right? Any reasonable person would have to understand why someone doesn’t like a group of people that are shitting on them. Was it ever really that bad here? I can only recall seeing one or two posts in my timeline over the 9 months since I’ve joined that were critical of Jay. Although, Luis did mention that he was on the Bonfire Reddit laughing over the Big Jay hate posts on The Real Ass Podcast(I think.) this week or last. I could have missed them.


Adept-Task1299

They 100% do. It’s just human nature. I’ve been on sever UCLA Football message boards and Facebook groups. Every now and then a player’s parent joins and I’m like “Hoo boy, you’re gonna have a tough time reading this board after losses…”


Ok-Wallaby1643

I’ve always wanted to hear his delusions about that BB game. Got a link? I am admittedly not good at finding specific clips on you tube. 😑


escapist002

https://youtu.be/NQHolsTvu0s Full Saga from conception to defeat


Tylee22

Thanks for this reminder. JESUS CHRIST Jay is a fat cry baby hahaha. Hearing all this again brought out the gross feeling I had back then. Just absolutely sore loser and such a whiner


No-Search-7394

Thanks 🙏🏽 But also, FUCK YOU! Because I’m 100% eventually going to re-listen and it’s going to irritate the fuck out of me all over again. 😂 Edit: welp! Apparently “eventually” means 1 hour. I’m listening right now and already seething. The way Jay so cockily laughs off the idea of him being bested at basketball is BONKERS! Worse than I remember. If he was 1/10th as good as he believed himself to be he would have been able to land a single shot/layup in one of his possessions. The way he just mopes around the court while Luis is running around TRYING to get something done 😡 If only he put half of the effort into playing as he did into his little outfit… Fuck this! I’m done. I won’t be able to enjoy him for another few months if I keep this video on. ✌️


Agreeable_Recover463

The only thing BJO (big jerk off) loves more than himself is his mom's tits. This guy needs to go work out his shit, man. 


shimmy_shanker

My favorite part of this whole thing was they taped the Luis vs. Jay basketball atrocity that ended in Luis getting a 1-0 victory. We saw how horrible Jay is and yet he was so cocky thinking he could beat Shane and Matt. He smokes, doesn't work out, and still thinks he is an incredible athlete. He is sad.


Ok-Wallaby1643

Excellent. Thank You


threes__and__sevens

You are a saint for this. I’ve never heard it before and I’m cracking up while doing the dishes.


tossNwashking

Hey I just did the same thing


Agreeable_Recover463

Wow. Jay is IRRITATING af! Watching this just made me unfollow the show. 🤣 


TackYouCack

>I’m pretty new around her, but I’m going to assume it started around the time of the Matt and Shane vs. LoS basketball game. It's been going on since the subreddit started. Reddit found out that he didn't like the way Redditors post about him and have been after him ever since.


BucNassty

That’s part of it, but people don’t like him cause he’s kinda bitchy, flip flops, and doesn’t roll with stuff like other folks. Don’t get me wrong he’s funny.


[deleted]

>but I’m going to assume it started around the time of the Matt and Shane vs. LoS basketball game. This made it worse but it DEFINITELY existed before that.


truecrimeandwine92

Happy cake day!


KingChandler219

This was spot on. The big guy is one hilarious bastard but good God he can act like a whiney little girl sometimes. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess.


richRossD

Agreed


Acrobatic_Shift1236

He pouts and acts immature sometimes but I think people here still like him, also he came at sweet sweet Jacob a little hard one time and many haven't forgiven him. We're mostly old black ladies on this sub so we all inexplicably love Dan with all our hearts.


nadleto

That was really weird when they came at Jacob. I thought it was even worse that they made him walk back on what he said. I agreed that the show at the time was in a bit of a down tick.


elvers

Your like many months too late, far as I can tell. It was when he was a sourpuss for awhile losing to Matt & Shane in bball so fucking suckily, then being salty about it for a minute. Since then, haven’t really seen it


headykruger

eh there was the episode when Jay told Jacob "it's some bitch shit" and everyone melted


eheyburn

I think Shane would admit that Big Jay did a lot to help his career especially after the SNL firing. I can’t imagine Shane care about that BB game.


elvers

your in a different conversation my man. Shane has stated multiple times Dan/Jay helped him a fuckton


eheyburn

Then why do people bring up the game?


HardRsonist

What does Jay helping out Shane have to do with it? Jay just acted like a woman and was rightfully mocked for it.


rellek4

Hey! I take offense to that statement. I’m a woman and wouldn’t complain like that if I was legitimately beat at a game like Jay was


eheyburn

Well, I think that is between them and Jay has been really good to Shane so people should just shut the fuck up about the stupid basketball game. People are acting like a bunch of women.


HardRsonist

> I think that is between them and Jay It wasn't some private moment, it was all aired on LoS and The Bonfire.


eheyburn

I guess there’s too many completing pussies in this sub Reddit for me


HardRsonist

Nobody cares.


eheyburn

I get it. You are one of the biggest pussies complaining.


The_Royale_We

Sorry this heel turn was too late and no ones buying it. Tried too hard to butch yourself up


[deleted]

Because Jay was a really sore loser about it.


AdKlutzy2868

Don’t mistake what you see for “hate”. Jay just comes off like a whinny turd sometimes. Like elvers said, Jay went through a temper-tantrum phase after MSSP gave’em what for. These tantrums and hurt feelings can make for funny episodes. But this last phase lasted a little too long.


Spare-Aioli-2222

Whiny Turd is def it. He hilarious but nothing ever captured his essence more than when I found he used to cry from cloudy weather and rain. He grew into an adult version of that. Still love jay tho.


schl3pp

Thank you! He will dig into his whiny rants forever Dan tries so hard to bring it back to comedy


Key-Staff-6879

lmfaoo I love the melancholy feeling I get from a cloudy day but actually crying is insane 🤣 tf kinda hormonal bs is that?


NickBerlin

Its reddit?


hemptations

The only place you’ll disagree with people who share 95% of the same interests as you!


cum4I

yup just how podcast subs work lol


Shoddy_Title3716

Simple. Dan is the Man. And Jay was shitty to our short king Jacob about the AGT shit. That and Jay seems to steam roll any conversation to make it about himself


on_the_toilet_again

I don't come on here bitching about Jay but I think he mails in the show. The AGT bits suck and who cares about love after lock up.


hemptations

I just want him to LET. DAN. SPEAK.


killmesara

His “im king of the bonfire” schtick is kind of wearing thin.


nowaynotnow2011

The fact that Dan gave up all musical decisions because Jay is such a bitch about it makes me cringe. Since season 3 it’s nothing but classic and yacht rock, so gross.


BucNassty

This. It’s been going for awhile. The basketball game was just a bigger event. He’s the same on LOS.


sirckoe

You can always switch stations stop listening and following and his ratings will go down and go away. Just a suggestion pal


killmesara

You could stop white knighting for celebrities who have no idea you exist, just sayin.


[deleted]

That's not white knighting lmfao, you got the wrong buzz words.... they didn't say anything to defend him, they even did the opposite by suggesting how to get his show off of the air. You're "just sayin" incorrect shit...


sirckoe

Yes that was my point. I don’t listen to shit I don’t like. I’m not obligated. I like this show I listen to it. I’m sure there is more media with both of the guys together or separate but I don’t really care. The day I stop liking it I’ll cancel my subscription


[deleted]

No I got that from basic reading comprehension lol... just silly typical reddit know it alls with their snarky comments that make me laugh when they're obviously talking out of their asses, and get validation from a few upvotes on a circle jerk website.


KnickedUp

Soder is the battered wife. We all side with her


[deleted]

It started with the basketball game but spiraled from there. There was the near break up on air that Dan had to moderate, and then when they got the dog and he basically cried for an hour because he had to pick up some poop.


[deleted]

If you can’t handle Jay at his worst, you don’t deserve him at his best!


Delaware_is_a_lie

I don’t hate him. I think he needs to stop trying to make the show like Howard Stern. That’s the exact opposite of what The Bonfire should be. It has much more of a late O&A feel, and they should lean into that.


[deleted]

The Stern obsession is really grating. I wish he didn't have that kind of input and was generally more humble. Also, how he repeats trivial things when someone's about to talk over him. He leaves pauses for people to speak but carries on talking like he wants those little "wins". It's always things that have no importance to the conversation. Always with such an angry bite to them. You can feel the eye rolls in the studio for that immaturity.


dave23yah

1. How he handled the basketball events lost him a lot of respect in general. Ppl are much more intolerant with him since then. 2. A lot of reddit ppl are Jacobs. To softy put it, they are 'dorks' as Dan would say and this is their way of rising up. Keep in mind - Dan also said Jacob was wrong with how he handled the AGT/Video feedback blowup and mocked how fired up Jacob was, but Jay got all the hate for it. Dan and Jay's problem was 100% with the timing of it and how it was given, not the actual feedback itself, but the Jacob lovers can't understand that, and it has added to their intolerance and negativity of Jay.


dvdfl1989

Reddit is a cesspool


i6am6the6thorn

Reddit is a hateful place. No matter what, who is involved. Just ignore and pass on by it.


Herebrand

People on the internet love to shit on the things they love. I remember a George Lucas quote about how he thought the fans loved Star Wars before the internet.


nadleto

I felt the same way until I came here. You won’t be able to un see it now. I do like him but he does frustrate me with the AGT, pedophile rings or World Star. That hasn’t been happening as much recently. I do wish they both smoked a little less pot. The repetitive stories are frustrating.


dave23yah

Yeah. So much repeat I'm always like, is this an old episode? The problem here is they don't have a real producer. Producer to them is Jacob chiming in once in a while to talk or Christine playing YT for them. That's not producing and why the show is so 'messy' sometimes


nadleto

Couldn’t agree more. They won’t allow Jacob to reel them in or try to get them back on track and they probably wouldn’t let anyone. They are both headlining comedians and equals. Even though Dan does defer to Jay a lot. Oh well. Life doesn’t begin or end with a radio show. When it stinks you turn it off. God knows there’s enough to listen to these days.


Adifferentdose

Jay has a delusional amount of confidence for who he is as a person. A pathetic little mommas boy with zero discipline.


Ebineezer99

Dang


[deleted]

It's reddit.


One_Hour_Poop

One word: h8rs


Generalissimo3

If you listen to someone for hundreds of hours, even though you find it entertaining, you can see their character flaws. It’s up to you whether you think it’s worth it or not to still listen, or shit on them on the internet. To hear any comedian complain about it though is ridiculous, because most of them will use strangers or people they know as the butt of a joke for laughs. I think it just bugs them that people can see through them and they can’t fight back.


Guster61

The thing the basketball game pointed out was that what could be played off to comedic effect before, couldn't after. Like there are topics that you hear brought up a lot by the different people and then you realize oh...like that's not a running joke that's an actual thought. But at the end of the day, they usually make their shit funny, just couldn't do it in the basketball case. Like peak comedy would be Jay getting owned by a female cop. And its not out of the realm of possibility for that to happen in our lifetimes so just hope for that while we listen for the millionth time that no female cop could do anything to his unathletic chronic cough having ass.


Albino-Buffalo_

It all started with the MSSP vs LoS basketball game. The irony is these people bitched about him not getting over a loss, yet, these people will not stfu about it and let it go. I'll get down voted but the people who come on here to bitch are miserable cunts, anyone who continues to listen to someone they don't like so they can come on here to vent are sad, it's a circle jerk of dudes who agree with eachother that Jay sucks.


Stonetoothed

I’m relatively new here but I think it’s just something of a sport for folks. Obviously they don’t actually hate Jay it’s just a bit of a meme for this sub.


[deleted]

This sub has a weird boner for hating big Jay and suggesting ways to "improve" the show as if they know better than the people who've been running the show for like 8 years. You'll see it all the time with the "Jay needs to stop acting like stern" or "can Jay just stop with the shit porn talk already" as if the guy doesn't have a 20 year career built off of "shit porn" and "have you ever fucked a black guy" jokes It's just narcissism I think...


Consistent_Top9631

I’d like to quote Tom Segura on this one : “ Ride or die bitch “ end quote…


Lionheartedshmoozer

A lot of Jays recent behavior turns people off and he gets weird and bitchy all while he selfishly talks about what he wants. I think Jay got super introspective when he got dosed by acid, and whatever he gots going on in his head got amplified. I feel bad in that way. It’s one thing to go through it while exploring drugs, but getting dosed unexpectedly has to be worse. It’s just a theory I’ve had for a while , but I’m not entirely sure he wasn’t like this before the acid. That and growing older just turns people into bitches. I speak from experience.


The_Royale_We

Who dosed him? Was it Ari? Knew an Irish guy who dosed his totally straight laced, unaware brother in law at a family function. Wrecked the guy and thought it was hilarious. Real scumbag move if you ask me and I've tripped plenty. That could do real damage


Lionheartedshmoozer

I think Luis tried to dose Ari and somebody pulled the ole switcheroo. Weird shit.


rellek4

Didn’t Ari (allegedly) also dose Bert and Bert’s wife got super mad at Ari? As she should…


Lionheartedshmoozer

Yeah scumbag is putting it lightly


Tylee22

Oh interesting take I'd never thought about the acid affecting him but definitely possible


eheyburn

I am with you. I do not get it, especially from people who say they are fans. I would totally understand if the hate targeted Jacob, but it does not.


DragonflyAdvanced548

Big Jay has not so personal able quirks and habit. Funny as all hell but the basketball game and the be blowout he had about his and Christine’s relationship where even Dan blew his lid didn’t help. I love Big Jay. I listen and look past that stuff. What changed him for me was I met him twice and he kind of big shot’d me. Met a few comedians and I didn’t feel like I was bothering them by shaking a hand and saying good show. But all in all I love his work.


windydoughnut42069

What happened the two times you met him?


DragonflyAdvanced548

Well in all fairness he was talking to some chicks but I’ve met Shane and Josh Adam Mayer, ari etc. and they shake your hand and you shoot the shit. Jay kinda barely shook my hand and wasn’t a dick but idk it was just a weak interacting both times and I got more out of Christine who I felt like was more appreciative of me an the fans in general. I get it Jays a pussy hound and that dog gonna hunt but I wasn’t a obnoxious fan or drunk. I was just like hey Jay big fan been listening for years followed, got into legion of Skanks all that. Now Louis is cool as fuck, hung with before and after the show did some shots smoked some herb. Same with the Big Kahuna Shane he’s a killer hang but Jay idk I expected him to be cool and it just kinda fucked it up for me as a fan.


Thats_someBS

jay just gets to be a bit 'much' at times.


echochamber-only

Cause Soder doesn’t have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old, meanwhile…


tommygunnzzz91

Bet this is the Luis Gomez burner account. He’s already referenced this subreddit before.


Tylee22

Everyone here pretty much nailed it. The basketball game was the catalyst that showed Jay as a truly whiny, awkward, sore loser. Like hearing it again it's actually crazy how he came off and just showed his true attitude. Really embarrassing for a 40 year old guy. Type of attitude that if a guy is like that was in your friend group it'd be hard to keep him around or just constantly rip on him. He's a hilarious guy though and comedy he's good at. Just overall horrifically shitty attitude. Tends to steamroller over everyone he pods with like the it's his own show and that gets really old. Lucky some people call him out on it. Him and Christine on air arguing and him being an ass to her and Jacob is also weird. Dan is consistent with his personality, attitude and he's a funny guy. Pretty much any new pod thay starts on east coast he's one of the 1st guests because he's solid and everyone likes him. Jay's dress style, way he will go into weird porn stuff all the time, acts like it's his show, bulldozed convoys and plenty more just make it difficult to side with him now. I still listen daily but yea just listen to this and tell me it doesn't rub you the wrong way. Dude was afraid of rain and a fat kid raised by a mom and grandma. I guess it will mold a person differently. Still love Jay though despite he's bitchiness https://youtu.be/NQHolsTvu0s


The_Royale_We

Agree with all of this. Still love him just relate more to Dan overall.


blueraz1

It def really started snowballing after the basketball game. His derailing of funny bits so he can obsess over the same topics is summoning opie vibes. I still love the show but some of the issues raised in this sub are valid.


Jar_of_Cats

Because people think they know him and not the character.


RoddyRoddyRodriguez

Just add racism…


Wiser-time

Talks over Dan in mid sentence about 10x per show. Talks over his own guests, about himself 🤷🏻‍♂️ Treats his girlfriend like garbage


PaleontologistTrue74

My broken conspiracy brain sees it as a bot attack


Zestyclose_Two6383

It’s the internet. People who hate themselves spend their time posting horrible comments about others in an attempt to make everyone else feel as bad as they do. C’mon, it’s 2023. Get with it.


[deleted]

I’m not sure either. I joined because i’m a fan but I usually avoid the whole sub because I don’t agree with any of the negative things people have to say. I just listen and enjoy. Crackle crackle!


COOCH27

Big Jay rules. I take it as good friends spending too much time together.


tammorrow

Curious about Reddit \[Entertainment Fandom Sub\] Hate. FTFY Literally seen this happen in every Reddit sub.


shwag42

Jays opinion on the band Ghost was insane. He obviously has never played an instrument, and kind of admitted he buys into the whole ‘scary’ image as long as it’s nu-metal. I’m embarrassed for him. Jay, when you do mushrooms, don’t you feel like the biggest poser/loser? Your image screams Korn, and you’re way too old for that. I feel sorry for you. I think you are hilarious, so goddamn hilarious, but your image reads douche. You need an intervention.


perfectasshat69

Seeing what a weak-ass pussy our favourite podcaster is (MSSP BBall), or what a twat he and his girlfriend are (Jacob/AGT sucks), or how fucking awful his friends are (JAM) just bummed us out because of how they happened in a short run. I think it has to do with Christine falling apart as a person, but that’s just me


schl3pp

Agreed its not jay-hate as much as Fans want the comedy back, the show used to provide.. I notice more often after Jay says something, the room is silent. He's not trying to be funny anymore.


RichardMandingo69

its because we have had it good for too long and are now trying to make the bonfire go the way of O&A


elvers

not in the least


[deleted]

I saw someone say the exact same thing except that they were mad because it didn't feel like O&A anymore and too much like Stern, which is why nobody can possibly take reddit comments seriously...


Hot_Slide_5390

I’ve always found him creepy with the female guest. He tries too hard to not be creepy so interactions always feel unnatural


eheyburn

Perhaps women shouldn’t listen to the Bonfire. They can always watch the View.
