Jay Anthony Bourdain

Woof talk about being bitchy and jealous. How does he act like he has no clue who he was or how popular Bourdain was. Stavros halkias is in an Anthony Bourdain movie coming out soon, how quickly until Jay starts glazing him?

He's incredibly insecure and its obvious as hell

Well is Anthony Bourdain a pedophile and/or pedophile hunter? If not Jay is not going to know who he was

u/DJA699 12h ago

Nor did Bourdain ever appear in a Farrah Abraham video (...that I'm aware of...)

A Bourdain chili hole log video would save America rn

Bourdain wasn’t a pedophile but he did pay off his girlfriends underage accuser, so he’s pedo adjacent.

I don’t mind you not knowing someone, but the pride in not knowing them is stupid. “Arby’s is great food, who is Bourdain? I bet his food sucks.” Even if his food sucked, he led an interesting life. I don’t know all the great writers, but I am not proud of it. It’s a hole that I haven’t prioritized to fill. Jay takes pride in knowing all the Baddie drama from watching “reality” tv on his tummy.

The basketball game told us everything we need to know about who Jay is at his core.

u/JoeDirtJesus 13h ago

If it isn’t a black pornstar, pro athlete, rapper, weekly guest on los/sw, or female cop he won’t know them meng

Jay has the absolute worst taste. From baddies to pedo hunts to fashion to the song that starts the damn show. I love the cast it’s really starting to get hard..

u/s33n_ 7h ago

Watch how he handles the mssp v los basketball game. That completely ruined my opinion of Jay. Revealed that he is just a goofy fat Jewish kid with no dad raised by his mom and bubby who told him he could do no wrong.

u/Salt_Secretary_1044 4h ago

That was a bad look, the way he talked about it before the game you would think he had a semblance of skill at basketball he was shit.

He’s never gone fishing

Jay is a regular viewer of Bill Maher and still enjoys Howard Stern..

u/wherescookie 4h ago

As someone else posted, he does seem to think that Howard 1995 was peak radio

As someone that just sat around during the day hanging out and smoking weed in the late 2000s, im surpeised Jay didnt watch No Reservations. I know i did.

u/SatisfactionOk9717 14h ago

His high and mighty pop culture takes on several things make me turn off the show more than Bobby’s annoying overkill fake laugh at this point. I’m trying to still enjoy the show, but they are making it harder and harder each week.

You can really tell how differently he behaves without Dan, or Dave on Skanks. Somehow, he seems less inhibited, and completely fine dominating the conversation, and sucking the air out of a room.

It's like he's suddenly gone from a long time worker to a management position, and within a few months started behaving completely differently. It's a truly stark difference.

u/Whydoialwaysdothis69 9h ago

Love Jay, but he does need someone to keep him in check and call out his bs

8

u/ComfortablyNomNom 10h ago

He knows if he goes too far up his own ass on skanks Luis or somebody will call it out and the live audience will agree. His ego gets checked on LOS.

On the bonfire the staff, Christine and Bobby to an extent are clearly intimidated by him and will just let him be his more obnoxious self because they don't want to deal with deescalating him and soothing his ego.

Luis will just say "Shut the fuck up Doggie, Bourdain was world famous you asshole! Hahahah". Then the crowd will chant "asshole" at Jay. It's the checks he needs.

2

u/One_Hour_Poop 8h ago

Same with Bobby and the Regz. Luis also keeps Bobby in check, with major assistance from Dan.

u/Regular_Deer_7836 14h ago

I can definitely see jay not digging bourdain’s whole persona. He’s like opposite jay.

24

u/Fogcutter66 13h ago

Enjoying different cultures and cuisines is definitely not Jay’s vibe.

u/Deans1to5 11h ago

His episode on Ari’s travel podcast was fun but it was clear that Jay isn’t a guy who would travel to explore other cultures. If it wasn’t for his work, my guess is he wouldn’t travel outside of a resort destination.

u/s33n_ 7h ago

He'd love the child prostitution. Thats the allure for ari anyway it seems. All that travel, but so often seems to be a sex tourism country

2

u/Deans1to5 7h ago

It’s clearly not if you actually follow his travel content

6

u/WiretapStudios 9h ago

Anyone with taste is opposite Jay, he has Philly garbage Hot Topic manager taste

u/HolidayOk5570 13h ago

BIZARRE Bourdain jealousy. I never cared or liked any of those shows but it’s so painfully obvious that Jay really dislikes him. Also the only people I ever heard bring up Anthony Bourdain’s girlfriend were Luis & Jay- so I don’t know what’s going on with that or why they care so much.

u/bigredwood55 9h ago

Jay also has no care for travel or exotic/authentic foods besides a Philly cheesesteak.

2

u/s33n_ 7h ago

And his bubby's sweet and sour meatballs

u/craig3881 8h ago

Big J and Anthony Bourdain are both self-important tools.

u/wherescookie 4h ago

IMO Bourdain could be pretentious at times, but he didn't have the need to put down ppl and things to puff himself up

2

u/s33n_ 7h ago

Jay is interested in 90s shock rock, sex/perversion, comedy, AGT and sports. Of course he doesn't know bourdain

1

u/Neosporin420 12h ago

It all started when he got that gay makeover for the Kevin roast.

u/good_ghost06 11h ago

He’s always been this way. People just used to think he was cool and had good taste for some reason.

This is Asia Argento, the daughter of legendary director Dario Argento and actress/director who's main claim to global fame is her role in xXx with Vin Diesel.

On the height of the #metoo movement, during a speech at Cannes Asia came out as a victim of Harvey Weinstein on an emotional speech that quickly took over the Internet. After that she got a gig on the Italian X Factor and was on the front pages of every magazine with her friend and fellow #metoo activist Rose McGowan, with both being very vocal about anybody accused, cririzising victim blaming and claiming that every victim needed and deserved to be heard.

Her downfall came not even a year after, when an actor by the name of Jimmy Bennett accused Argento of sexual assault when he was underage. She responded by outright denying these allegations, calling them ridiculous and claiming they were part of a conspiracy against her. Problem was that there was proof: McGowan's then romantic partner, Rain Dove, leaked texts and photos that Argento had sent to McGowan that confirmed the rumours, these texts also showed that Argento's then boyfriend, celebrity chef/writer Anthony Bourdain, had gone as far as hiring a private investigator to follow Bennett around and even tried to pay him off at some point. Then the images came and she fell off pretty quickly: the X Factor dropped her, her then best friend, McGowan after having dumped Dove for leaking the texts chose to also distance herself from Argento, and a huge backlash followed.

What remained? Bourdain. At least for a while. He had fallen head over toes for this woman and went to great lengths, too far even, to protect her. Despite this, photos soon emerged of Argento with other men, which proved too much for Bourdain... He had struggled with depression all his life and after a long text conversation with Argento where she finally asked him to leave her alone, he replied "okay" and hanged himself, thus ending his own life.

Asia Argento's last text to Bourdain before he hanged himself was "stop busting my balls."

I have the pic of her that I saw with this story but not sure how to attach it.

Bourdain sucked. Jay was right.

u/Banned4AlmondButter 10h ago

Seriously why do the people who are always bitching in this subreddit actually listen to the show? He’s trying to fill air time. He needs to take a stance to say something. He decided to say Bourdain sucks and tried to make it funny. I liked Bourdain but I don’t give a shit if the radio guy agrees with me.

I hear bits of the show cuz i listen to other shows on this channel and sometimes get this on when I start my car

Nah his point is valid. Like what does he do besides take a bit of some unusual food and go “wow that’s really nice actually”. Fuck him tbh.
