The hilarious duo of Jay & Silent Bob perform live in Telluride.

Film icons Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes made history and fans all over the world with the characters Jay and Silent Bob from movies ranging from “Clerks” to “Mallrats,” “Chasing Amy,” “Dogma,” “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” and “Clerks 2.”

Now you can see them live recording their comedy podcast “Jay & Silent Bob Get Old.” This is what fans everywhere have been waiting for, an opportunity to see their comedic heroes on stage, doing what they love to do: telling stories.

Mewes is best known as the potty-mouthed vocal half of “Jay and Silent Bob,” the on-screen comedic duo who first appeared in Kevin Smith’s seminal 1994 indie film, the aforementioned “Clerks.”

Mewes would reprise the character five more times on the big screen between 1995 to 2006, becoming a sort of James Bond of mid-90s low-budget film, a fast talking, foul-mouthed, over-sexed (but ultimately harmless), very likable guy.

No two Jay & Bob shows are ever the same, but to put you in the mood, check out a performance from 2012:
