What's up, buddy? I did your
Twitter handle. What's up?
It's great. Thank you. I appreciate

Jeremiah stand-up. I think it should have been.
My mom calls me that. It's really awkward.
It's your handle. Wait a second.
We were doing one of those stereo app
shows and you were kind enough to leave us a voicemail.
Someone asked us what we missed most
and it was hanging out with you.
We said that afterwards. I don't know if you kept listening, but we
said we missed some Jeremiah.
Three of our favorite shows
in the world. The Goddamn Comedy Jam,
Kill Tony. You know what I
love about festivals is
the hangs.
I love the hangs late at at night but then i also
love the like quick in passing hangs where you see your friends that you haven't seen in a while
and jeremiah and i saw each other in the like registration hotel and i think you had just
flown in from new york you were going to be in austin for 12 hours and then you were flying back
to new york or some some other thing
for some and i and we like those moments when people are like what do you miss i'm like that's
the shit i miss i'm like whoa whoa like hey and then and then i'll see you later right like i mean
even warming up for the jam and singing our song and just goofing around with you kill tony another
one roast battle of course and then then Stand Up On The Spot.
These are all like four of my favorite shows
that aren't straight stand-up shows to do.
And you are the constant in all of them, brother.
They're fun themed shows.
Yeah, I'm happy to be a part of a lot of different shows.
So yeah, it's cool.
And did I ever tell you guys,
I don't know if I ever mentioned to you
that I almost
died trying to reach out to you guys, Jason and Randy at Moon Tower.
When?
What?
I was literally, I had just gotten, Daniel, you talk about like being excited, like, you know,
seeing people at festivals and stuff like that. I literally had, we just got off the plane and
we're like checking in and stuff a couple of years ago at Moon Tower in Austin that. I literally had, we just got off the plane and we're like checking in and stuff a couple years ago
at Moon Tower in Austin.
And I literally didn't look
across the street
from traffic or anything.
I'd see Jason and Randy
across the street
and I go,
I literally said out loud,
I go,
Sky Brothers.
And I started walking
out in the street
in a semi.
What?
Josh out of Myers
pulls the back of my shirt
as a semi comes by
dude what are you doing
you almost bit it right
you almost died
you almost died
Josh Adam Myers
and of course he'll never let you forget that he saved your life
so that's good
listen man I saved your life back in Moontown
you just trying to see some Skla bros.
You were trying to get some promo photos and different pics and stuff.
I don't appreciate it.
You were trying to see some Skla's, but then you were going to see some stars.
I'm not saying you got to pay me back, but if you want to buy me this Cinderella Tour 1989 concert shirt, that would make us even.
Sleeveless.
I love it, dude.
Well, you've got a new special out and a new album out and we'll
get into it we'll talk about it later but we're here to talk about the dumb and i and one thing
that i love and you attack this in your comedy all the time in such a great way but just how
dumb the world has become even from the last time you did this podcast until now i think it's even
gotten dumber what do you think has the world gotten dumber definitely has oh yeah we're going
we're headed toward idiocracy all the time.
Yes.
That movie is becoming more of a reality.
It is insane how close.
Yeah, it really was.
God, how smart is Mike Judge for making a dumb movie like that?
I mean, and it's brilliant in its dumbness.
It skewers it so perfectly.
But you go back and watch Idiocracy, and the president, he's less of an evil dumb.
He's more just like dumb.
Yeah.
He's just dumb, dumb.
Dumb, dumb.
And it's like almost benevolent dumb.
Like there's almost a sweetness to the dumb in that movie as opposed to like.
Like this guy still, Trump still wears a suit.
You know what I mean?
I guess he's still giving me sweats.
I can't wait till we see photos of him in Crocs
you know what I mean
oh it's coming
Crocs in an orange jumpsuit
alright
let's get into this story
right away
okay here we go
now I think you guys
talked about this
on your daily
but I did not watch
the whole video
because I wanted to save it
and I didn't want to
pigeonhole you
into going any directions
because even when
that has happened
we come to new things
I feel like we find
new stuff
that you guys
didn't tackle.
All right.
And if you want to listen
to our daily podcast,
it's Global Country,
the Virus Edition.
You can pop over
and do a comparison shot.
This was sent in by
Declarius Hardunkachud.
Declarius Hardunkachud.
That's,
it's a,
one of the characters
that from the East West football game.
From?
Declarius Hardunkachud.
Oh,
the Key and Peele.
From Key and Peele. Dixwarius Maxwary. Oh, from Key & Peele.
Dixquarius Max Warriness.
Here's the headline.
Thank you, Declarius.
Suspect tries to escape FBI agents
using underwater sea scooter
in frigid California lake.
This was a crazy story.
But here's the thing. You have really good planning
and bad planning in one sentence.
Did you have the sea scooter to try and escape?
Yes.
Was the water way too cold to be in?
Yes.
Is it a lake and not an ocean where you just hang out?
Right, where are you going to go?
Like FBI agents, and we'll get into this.
This is like dumb James Bond.
This is why you don't run from the cops on a track.
Also, what is an underwater sea scooter, by the way?
Don't you want to know?
Do you guys know what that is? Yes, it's a self-propelled sea scooter, by the way? Don't you want to know? Do you guys know what that is?
Yes.
It's a self-propelled sea scooter.
It goes underwater, and then you hang onto it and just kind of ride around.
It rides along the floor of the ocean.
Or a lake.
But won't you like...
Okay.
But isn't there a thing, and I've never been scuba diving.
Have you ever been scuba diving, Jeremiah?
I have been snuba diving.
You know what that is?
That's the hose, right?
Wait, is that scuba diving with Snoop Dogg?
It's with a hose.
It's like the less, like, so you have
like the full oxygen thing
hooked up so you can go down like,
I think I went down like several
hundred feet.
It's for people who,
and it's for people that don't want to go
down That far
It was in Catalina Island
It was like I went with my wife's
Several hundred
It was not that crazy far
But I went with my wife's
Family and they're like
Take our son snuba diving
Which is like my brother-in-law now
And he was like a little kid
And I was like alright little kid and I was like,
all right,
sure.
And it was really fun.
That sounds fun.
It's fun.
But if you go down too fast,
you get the bends.
You gotta come up too fast.
Come up too fast.
If you come up too fast.
Whatever it is.
If you come up too fast,
if you come up too fast,
they give you a Radiohead album.
That's right.
You get the bands.
You become a member.
You become Tom York is really what happens.
That's pretty cool.
Uh, so my fear would be that I'd take this thing
down and you know how sometimes
people on motorcycles
and stuff who don't know how to use them
hit the
gas on the handlebars.
And then the bike goes
forward and then you're flying back.
That would happen and they don't let go
when they should. So you've never scuba dove?
Never scuba. I've never scuba
diven. We hit it
together. I've snorkeled. Two pitch hit.
I've snorkeled, but I've never scuba
diven. You haven't? I used to
play the scuba in high school.
Did you? Is this thing on, folks?
The nerdiest. It's an underwater
tuba. You guys, I got hit up by
a comedy fan who listens to pen pals. I don't know if they listen to this i hope they do but they hit
me up and they were like i had talked about wanting to swim with sharks and he goes daniel van kirk
if you really want to swim with great white sharks i can make it happen don't that's not i wrote
100 yes and then he goes cool it would be end of next summer no and
he said where they go and i was like i'm into it and then he showed me some of the footage of him
on in the cage in these great whites and i'm still into it and then he goes it's a five-day trip and
i was like no can't do it i can't hang out with you for five days he said it's like a day and a half boat trip
to get out to where they are and then you're there for two and a half days and then a day and a half
back or whatever that works out to three days whatever it is too much time yeah and or two
days and a day and a half back and i just was like i or you can take the real thing i just don't think
we can be on a boat for that long even if I was with people that I've known my whole life,
I just would be like, I don't want to be on a boat this long.
No.
Jeremiah, take our son down and take him with the great white.
Like that's what your in-laws would say.
Take our son with the great white sharks.
Just take him with the great white sharks.
We're going to go get some margaritas for a couple hours.
Wait, hang on a second.
I'm going to take your son?
It's a five-day trip.
Catalina, Jeremiah, there was a chance you could have seen a great white down there.
In Catalina?
Yes.
There are sharks all up in Catalina.
I'm in Catalina?
I'm in Catalina?
You're talking about Catalina?
Were you talking about Catalina?
The same Catalina I know?

Let me tell you something.
These Catalina Sharks be crazy.
They saw the cow call sharks.
They be crazy.
A man.
Now, excuse me.
Catalina Shark,
can you make sure
you social distance
between me and my son
because we're not into this right now.
There's COVID out here
in this area right now.
Let me tell you something.
Catalina Shark ain't gonna hear that.
They ain't gonna hear that. They don't have no ears in Catalina.
They don't hear none of that stuff.
They're going to pick up a whole box of gumbo.
Like something we became like we're
white New Orleans people.
They're going to get that gumbo.
They're going to get that gumbo.
That dialect makes the gumbo sound good.
Right. I mean, and the gumbo is not
good. Let's just be straight.
Oh, I've had good gumbo.
No, you haven't.
You never had a hanger and a pair of sneakers and some beef jerky and some gumbo before?
You never had that before?
Come on, man.
Wait, what kind of gumbo are you making?
I had a dish rag in the gumbo.
The gumbo at 1030 B.
I used to work at Famous Footwear.
I know a lot of things about gumbo.
You worked at Famous Footwear?
Yeah, I worked at Famous Footwear.
With them Catalina Sharks?
And I had the best gumbo on downtown.
With them Catalina Sharks?
I had some Catalina Shark meat before.
You had that Catalina Shark meat?
You had that Catalina Shark meat?
You are doing my favorite,
the white male high-pitched southern dialect.
It's the best.
Oh, my gosh.
Wait, you did it?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Only sharks can hear it.
There was a NASCAR driver.
He drove the Napa 55, Michael Parks?
I can't remember. But he had had a real he was always like how
do you feel about the race today he's like well we did real good out there that we know that napa
55 but it's coming around that turn thing i just gotta say you know we're real happy about how
we're running right now he did this like very high pitch very high pitch i loved it okay gal
fanatic a man wanted for his role in an alleged 3535 million Ponzi scheme, which I can't tell is if that's super successful or that's like low level Ponzi.
Because what was Madoff?
Madoff was like billions of dollars.
I have no idea.
I'm going to look up Bernie Madoff's Ponzi.
If you made me guess, I'd say Bernie Madoff was $780 million Ponzi scheme.
I'm going to get this.
Is it a pyramid scheme or is it just a
triangle that's what we're trying to find yeah is it is it a ponzi scheme or like when does this
become a lake sea scheme come on people what's going on here water jokes underwater scooter uh
the ponzi scheme he was arrested monday after evading fbi agents by swimming into California's largest reservoir
using an underwater sea scooter. So he had that in his car. Yeah, but Dan, that's the plan.
He's always got it in his car. He's dumb James Bond. He's like George Bush. He had an entrance,
but he had no exit. Because I love my home state, but there's a lot of idiots driving around
Illinois with a just-in-case bat in their car.
Just-in-case bat.
Or the jet ski tied to the back.
And they're like, hey, if we get near a lake, we're dropping it in.
I like to imagine when emergencies happen in Chicago or something, rather than a fire extinguisher in the wall that's behind glass.
They punch through and it's just a bat behind.
You never know.
It's my just-in-case bat, all right? You never know when you're going to need know. It's my just-in-case bat, all right?
You never know when you're going to need it.
It's my just-in-case bat.
We're going to have some fun.
I'm going to take a few swings at that fire over there.
I'm going to hit that fire over there.
We're going to have a lot of fun, okay?
At the velocity I swing, I think I can put out that fire with this bat.
Dude, I think you can.
That's a big footer.
I saw him.
We play 16-inch softball.
He can hit that. That's a big goal. That's a big footer. I saw him. We play 16-inch softball. He can hit that.
That's a big footer.
We'll get some Portillos after that.
Get some Portillo.
Where's your bat?
You don't got a bat in the back of the car.
I got a bat in the back of the car.
I know, but why?
You know what I named my bat?
I named him Corona, and I just hit people with it.
That's what I do.
Oh, you like to hit people with a Corona?
Yeah, I like to hit people with the Corona bat.
It's a bad idea.
It's a bad idea.
Is that after the beer or the virus?
It's after the beer.
Matthew?
It was after the beer, and then it was a mishap that happened with the virus.
And so now you're saying it's from the virus?
How much money do you think the Madoff scheme was?
So this is $35 million was this guy's Ponzi scheme, but made up of $780.
And what do you think, Jeremiah?
I think I remember it being somewhere like half a billion or something like that.
So that's $500 million.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think he made like $200 million off of Kevin Bacon alone.
Okay.
So what do you think?
I'm going to say $1 billion.
Okay.
Get your answers in, Townies, because one of you is exactly right.
Oh.
So, Jeremiah, you said $500 million.
Right.
I mean, $780 million is so specific.
I said $1 billion.
Who do you think?
Are you ready to stick with where you are?
You want to move to one of these guys?
I'm going to stay.
Okay.
I'll stay too.
You know, mine's the least likely.
Bernie Madoff's scheme was?
His Ponzi scheme.
His Ponzi scheme was?
A billion dollar Ponzi scheme.
Way to go, Jack.
Way to go, Jack.
Oh, I'm going to get that bed out of the car and I'm going to throw that down.
Get that bed out of the car.
Matthew Piercy spent about 25 minutes in the frigid Lake Shasta using a Yamaha 350 Li submersible device.
Of course, it's a Yamaha.
Before he eventually resurfaced and was handcuffed. Right. Yamaha 350 Li submersible device. Of course, it's a Yamaha.
Before he eventually resurfaced and was handcuffed.
Right.
They just wait.
It's like waiting for your kid to get out of the pool.
Right.
Like you're like, fine, I'll just you're getting out eventually.
Or waiting for your future brother-in-law to get out of the scuba thing.
The scuba.
The scuba.
Look, I'm telling you, he's dumb James Bond because he got it backwards.
He thinks that they have to hold their breath while he's underwater.
He's like, they're never going to outlast me.
And he goes under there for 30 minutes.
He's like, I got to come up.
Also, remember in the... 30 minutes he was underwater?
Yeah, but what's the...
Wait, how's he breathing?
The Disney Robin Hood, when he uses the reed underwater to keep breathing,
and he thinks that they'll think that he was killed by the arrows.
What did he think that they're going to be like, like well i guess he died so like that's his greatest by the way fbi people
have been on stakeouts for days 30 minutes is like half their lunch how is he breathing what
is the documentary on netflix new york versus the mafia where those guys just sit outside those
houses for days and days and days and the guy what i feel like dumb james bond just sings acapella like the
theme song to yourself like while he's dead i'm a spy and you're not in his underwater
my only hope is that Matthew Piercy came up out of the water and yelled ta-da.
And he thought that he would have tricked everybody that he had died.
Or he came up and was like, yeah, bitches!
And they're like, okay, we're done with this.
And then you just hear in trading places the click of the gun,
of the cocking of 49 guns in his face.
When agents went to
arrest piercey so i imagine this is pre she has to swim he hopped in a pickup truck and led them
on a chase that ended at the shoreline of uh of the lake north of redding so i think the scooter
is always in the back of the truck along so here's my thing ready to go along with what jeremiah what
else is in the back and And we don't know.
We're just speculating here.
But what else is always in the back of this pickup truck?
I think he has a boogie board back there.
Definitely.
100%.
He has a chainsaw.
Why?
He has a parachute that he's not sure he packed correctly.
Yeah.
But it's just there.
He's got some weird cording.
You know, like some cord.
One throwing star. Welder welder torch loose garden tools rattling around every time he turns yeah and all that just keeps
rattling around okay good jumper cables that don't work yeah uh so he jumps in the pickup truck
he heads up to lake shasta loose lug nuts then piercey abandoned his truck near the edge of lake
shasta pulled something out of it and swam into lake shasta federal prosecutors wrote in court documents
calling piercey a flight risk i'd say he's more of a swim rest right he spent some time out of
sight under the water where law enforcement could only see his bubbles so they knew exactly where
he was but how is he under there for 30 minutes do you understand what i'm saying i have to have a breathing apparatus yes but i think it's attached to the scooter wait you breathe
into the scooter it has a whole there's a tank on it everything is on all in one swim like underwater
perfect time when i'm driving i'm around an apparatus a lot of butts when he cuts a lot of
butts when he cuts girls move their butts agents laterents later learned that Piercy had a sea scooter,
a motorized vehicle that pulls users underwater at speeds of up to...
How fast do you guys think this sea scooter...
Do you remember from the story?
No, I can't remember.
I don't.
Jeremiah, how fast do you think it was going?
How fast do you think a sea scooter that's being used at Lake Shasta can go?
Underwater.
I don't think underwater you could go faster than 30 miles an hour.
I'd be shocked if it's more than 30 miles an hour.
Dude, that would be so fast.
Underwater covering 30 miles an hour?
That would be insane.
I think it's like seven.
Dan, I think it's like seven miles an hour.
I would say two miles an hour.
Two miles an hour.
It pulls users underwater at speeds of about
four miles per hour.
Okay, so there we go.
30 would be so fast.
Okay, so you guys just found out about me
that I like to go fast.
You're the Tim Taylor of underwater scooters.
You're going to soup that up.
Here you go.
A Yamaha tutorial.
This thing goes how fast underwater?
30 miles an hour.
You're going to get another guess because a Yamaha tutorial video.
Let's put a Benford engine on that thing.
I don't think so jeremiah a yamaha tutorial video
describes the sea scooter as having underwater propulsion that allows users to cruise at depths
of how many feet below the surface before we get to this we do have to give tim allen some
some credit just because like there'd be a moment where someone would just mention a tool of some sort.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I got one of those little Dremel bits the other day, you know, like the one of the things that can all thing.
And just, he would give like a quick like, like a quick.
And that was his, he made that like a punchline.
Yes.
That he would just become, he'd literally devolve into a monkey that wouldn't know how to use
the tool.
An old prehistoric man.
How deep do you think
an underwater sea scooter can go?
How many feet below the surface?
I love how many guessing games you have.
Four miles per hour.
How deep can he go? I want to say 75 feet.
75 feet from Jeremiah Washington.
I was around what I was going to guess.
What are you going to say, Jay?
50 feet.
50 feet.
I'll go 60.
60?
Right in the middle.
The tutorial video describes the sea scooter as having an underwater propulsion that allows
users to cruise at a depth of up to 100 feet below the surface.
Well done, Jeremiah.
Nice, Jeremiah.
Attorney Josh Kahnz, if you're running a Ponzi scheme,
do you want your attorney to be literally a Kahn man?
He's a Kahnz man.
Does that bode well for you?
This is the old sea scooter Kahn.
I love all of his Kahnz.
He says, you know, you never know what's going through someone's mind
when they're being pursued by the FBI. Yeah, we do. We all saw the third act of Goodf you know, you never know what's going through someone's mind when they're being pursued by the FBI.
Yeah, we do.
We all saw the third act of Goodfellas.
We know exactly what's going through.
Keep stirring the sauce, Karen.
Stir the gravy.
Watch the helicopter.
Yell at Karen for killing us.
Do more coke.
Get your favorite hat box.
And we kept investigating.
And all of a sudden today, here he is trying to escape into a lake.
What you pointed out earlier, Rand, is my favorite part of this.
Because I'll just see on the other side. Right right there's the other part of the lake over there we'll
meet you over there we'll follow the bubbles and by the way it's you don't have to wave we know
where you're going you're not leaving for that this isn't the end of point break where you can
surf to china we know where you're going he's cold by the way it is freezing the water is freezing too this is yeah that's the other part
plan ahead for your so he comes out and it's like cold finger he's the man the man with the
Midas touch love it uh all of a sudden he's using in a submersible device last week a grand jury
indicted piercey and his business partner kenneth winton who all
of a sudden is like come on i thought i had avoided he didn't have to get in the water i
didn't go under sat him down before that weekend and said listen whatever you do don't try and run
from the fbi and definitely don't try and like escape on a submersible sea scooter so this guy
wasn't wearing a wetsuit or anything at all probably there's no way it could have been
because the fbi came to his house and he wasn't prepared. So all he did was hop in his truck
and was like, let's go.
Because if you're not like at that far down,
if you're not wearing a wetsuit,
it is so freezing.
So 30 minutes.
I think the adrenaline.
Right.
Yeah.
If you're on the run,
I guess the adrenaline would compensate
where it's like, okay,
I guess let's get through this.
But as soon as you snap out of that, I bet your body is just so in shock and that's the thing to me is like
he was underwater he had plenty of time like it all can slow down then and you really start to
think about like what am i gonna do when i get out of here like what have i got myself first off i
know he's like a white color criminal sure but on some level, I just keep picturing Jeremiah's prison guy doing like, he's this guy. And what he says afterwards when he comes out of the water, like to the FBI, you're, you're, you know, the prison dude.
What did he say?
Just your prison guy, like that Dr. phil talks to i love oh yeah i mean i actually he he's hanging out if you guys
keep talking about the story i might be able to find him he's like hanging out around my place
and i'd love to get his perspective on this story yeah because i think he because he may not he
definitely would be into a submersive scooter scenario i know that he'd be immersive scooter
scenario would be great piercey is accused of bilking investors. We said $35 million.
Family Wealth Legacy and Zola.
That was the name.
Family Wealth Legacy sounds fake.
Oh, yeah.
Promising guaranteed returns.
Not to victim blame, but.
No.
Family Wealth.
If you said, I invested all my money in Family Wealth Legacy, I'd be like, see that?
Just kiss that money.
Goodbye.
He promised guaranteed returns using an upvesting fund.
I've never heard that in my life.
I hear the word upvesting and I want to go punch someone in the face.
Upvesting, it's not investing.
It's upvesting.
It was allegedly an algorithmic trading fund with a history of success.
Okay.
Piercy allegedly admitted privately to an associate that there was no upvesting fund.
So this to me is like i don't
know if you listen to the podcast of nexium the cbc podcast of escaping but i have a new podcast
for you what is it well no you go and then so i'm listening to all of that was okay yeah so all of
that and and i know jeremiah is trying to find uh shanks shanks yeah prison guy but uh and it's s-h-a-n-x is that right so uh he's there he's
he's there he's finding shanks but and finding shanks is also a great great name for something
but in the meantime i will say that i listened to the cbc escaping axiom and apparently keith
rennery to barbara boucher had said i need I have a great investing idea. It sounds exactly like this.
It's an algorithmic thing. And I need, I need $50,000 and then I need a hundred thousand.
Then I need 600,000. He just kept needing money. It's like something happened that I can't believe
that it happened. Like it never should have happened, but it happened. But if you could
just get me right, everything will work out. out okay you ready for this new podcast yes it's called the orgasm cult what yes it's a bbc podcast i'm in i'm so in it
is so screwed up i don't want to give anything away about it but i mean the orgasm cult yes
take place it took place in new york i believe okay piercey allegedly admitted privately to an
associate that there was no upvesting fund i I mean, that's when you tell people that
it's going to start falling down around you. He originally
recruited Winton as an investor, but
Winton eventually took on management responsibilities
at Zola. So the guy probably came in
gave money. No.
The orgasm cult is BBC
Radio 4. Yes. That's who does
it, right? Yes. Okay, fine. Yeah, the orgasm
cult. Yeah. They use
some investor money for various businesses and personal expenses,
including two residential properties and a houseboat.
When you start buying the houseboat.
The houseboat is like, I'm all in.
Have you ever been on a houseboat?
No.
Have you been on, James?
Uh-oh.
Oh, yes.
Uh-oh.
Oh, no.
Shanks is here.
Shanks.
Shanks, are you there?
What up? Shanks is in the building. Yeah. What up, Shanks is here. Oh, no. Shanks is here. Shanks-y. Shanks, are you there? What up?
Shanks is in the building.
Yeah.
What up, Shanks?
So, how you people doing right now, huh?
Good, dude.
Have you ever been on a houseboat?
Have you ever hung out on a houseboat?
Yeah.
I was born in a houseboat.
You were born in a houseboat.
Jesus.
Yeah.
I believe it.
And you've been on the move ever since.
You were born in a moving house.
So it was a water birth?
Oh, jeez, Jason.
Okay, I see what you did there, and I like it.
You like it.
I like that.
Shanks likes it.
Shanks, how you been, man?
What's going on?
What have you been up to?
I mean, I know the pandemic's got to be hard on you.
Yo, I mean, you know, a lot of people, like,
don't know how to deal with, like, quarantine and stuff.
But, yo, that's kind of like my MO.
You know, I'm in and out of prison all the time.
I'm used to being in quarantine.
You get locked down.
You're used to the lockdown.
You understand it on levels that people maybe don't.
Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure.
Yeah.
Okay, so I got a question.
And, again, if you were— And I got an answer, bro. Let's go. Yeah. Okay. So I got a question. And again, if you were-
And I got an answer, bro.
Let's go.
Let's go.
He's ready to roll.
Shanks is ready.
Shanks is always ready.
Solid guess.
So here's the thing, Shanks.
First off, have you ever been on a submersible water scooter?
Yeah.
I mean, I asked for one for my birthday.
You did?
But I didn't get it.
I had to steal one at an older age.
So, yes.
Yeah.
You know what I love, Shanks?
You said you had to.
You had to steal one.
It wasn't a decision.
There was no other option.
You didn't get one, so you had to.
I had to, homie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you had to.
Sometimes something called out to you in the world when you see it.
And then you're like, how did I live life like this without this thing before?
Right.
So, now you you gotta get a
submersible C scooter. I gotta get it.
Yeah, yeah, because you had to. I just want
to hear you say submersible C
scooter.
Submersible C scooter.
You put a weird
emphasis on a different syllable.
It's like jazz.
You kind of jazzed it.
Submersible C scooter.
You put a lot of emphasis on C scooter. It sounds like jazz. Yeah, you kind of jazzed it. What you talking about? Submersible ski scooter. Thank you for the wide emphasis on scooter.
It sounds like you're saying the submersible sees a scooter.
Like, oh, submersible sees scooter.
I mean, what?
You never ridden on a submersible ski scooter?
I don't.
I lost my grill.
You lost your grill.
I lost my grill.
You had to, though.
It's because you had to.
I had to, though.
You had to lose the grill. Put the you had to. I had to, though. You had to lose the grill.
Put the grill back in.
Put the grill back in.
But can you imagine being underwater?
It's almost like saying Dick sees Jane.
Submersible sees Scooter.
But the thing is, if you were underwater for 30 minutes,
and I'm talking in a cold lake, my friend,
you come out on the other side and the feds are still there,
what's going through your mind? I mean side and the feds are still there. What's going through your mind?
I mean,
if the feds are still there,
the first thing I say when I pop out of that water
is like, look over there.
And I start swimming.
In the other direction. That makes sense.
And as you run away over your shoulder, you just be like,
I had to.
It called out to you. I had to.
That's right.
And you fully think the feds would
buy that the look over there yeah they're so dumb man uh-huh they're so dumb yeah it's so dumb man
i mean like i could be like like i'm water don't look at me no more and then like they they out
have you have you been scuba diving or snoop? What was it? Snoopa diving.
Have you ever been snoopa diving?
Man, snoopa diving for pussy.
If you're going to get in the water, get in the water.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
Get in that submersible sea scooter.
And then you get down.
Submersible sea scooter.
What was it?
Submersible sea scooter.
Yo, DVK, why are you jockeying me like that?
Don't jockeying.
I'm trying to say it right.
I like the way you say it.
We're trying to understand it.
Submersible C-scooter.
I can't do it.
I can't say it the way you said it.
Uh-oh.
Don't.
People, they try, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Dude, I love you, Shanks.
It's ridiculous that we know so many.
We went to high school with about six people that remind us of an amalgam of Shanks.
Well, that's St. Louis.
That's St. Louis for you.
Shanks, you keep it.
You got a girlfriend right now, Shanks?
I mean, I got some side pieces, you know?
Okay, so nobody, you don't like to be tied down.
But here's the question.
Can they be considered side pieces if you don't have a main piece?
I don't know.
DVK, you looking tasty right now i'm flattered but
just so you know i'm the entree i'm not a side piece he doesn't like that this isn't i don't
know you be looking like a thanksgiving dinner to me that's what i'm saying that's what i'm talking
i'm boston market you come in you order whatever you carve him Carve him up. Carve it up. Carve it up. I love it.
Hey, we'll close this out with you, Shanksy.
Piercy faces charges including wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, and witness tampering.
So he was being mean to somebody.
You ever witness tampered, Shanksy?
Man, I don't tamper with nobody's business.
If they try to call me a witness or anything like that, like, that's harder than, like,
a lot of slurs where I come from.
Oh, yeah. You call me a witness.
The W word?
Come on, bro.
You don't want to drop a W.
You don't want to drop a W on someone.
If convicted, went and...
Because you saw everything,
but you saw nothing if you catch my drift.
I mean, look at me.
I saw nothing.
Yeah.
I didn't see anything.
Big eyes.
I don't know how he could see anything.
Big eyes. Piercy faces 20 years in prison and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines i mean
that's a pretty good exchange you get 35 million and you only have to pay a thousand thousands of
thousands you got that cash lying around winton's attorney adam g gasner told the b his client looks
forward to the judicial judicial process shedding light on what actually occurred here so in other
words he's gonna throw him under the bus he going to throw him under the bus. He's going to throw him
under the sea scooter.
For sure.
Alright, that's story number one, my friend.
Thanks for saying hi. Thanks for joining us
for the second half of that.
For the first story,
maybe get... You got anything
else you want to say to our Dumb People Town fans?
Before we get out of here?
We're going to take a break and then we'll come back.
Yo, do you call your fans like dummies or anything like that
okay uh well it's been good uh the you know chop it up with you townies and i'll see you in a town
of yours soon is that a threat or a promise. I love that Shanks is out. That was a threat, a promise. Oh!
All right.
That's my story.
You never know what's going to happen.
God damn it,
I love Shanks.
God damn,
that was so much fun.
All right,
we'll take a break.
When we come back,
Jeremiah Watkins,
maybe we'll get,
I don't know where Shanks
is going to go,
but maybe Jeremiah
comes back.
Jeremiah hopefully comes back
because we want to hear
about his new album
that he's got out.
His new special.
A new special that is out
that you guys can consume.
I can't wait. We'll talk about it. And it's dropped and you'll love it A new special that is out. Family reunion. I can't wait.
We'll talk about it. And it's dropped in.
You'll love it and we'll be right back.
Hey guys, welcome back to the show.
Jeremiah Watkins.
I guess Shanks is living above the garage.
I don't know. He's just passing through.
I like seeing him.
He just stole my car, so I don't know but he's passing through i like seeing him yeah he just he just stole my car so i don't know okay i had to where are we gonna go in this day
he had to so he had to uh let's talk let's talk what we have to do i want to talk about the new
special uh that you shot in the belly room i've been watching uh you you released some amazing
clips of it online but i want everyone to check it out so explain it it's it's bits that we know we've seen you kind of uh procure over time it's your
first special our special yes and first hour special family reunion boom family reunion i
love it boom so all the info behind me it's's available on Amazon Prime, Video On Demand, Apple TV, Roku, Google Play, a bunch of different platforms, Vimeo.
But I shot it actually back in Kansas City, where I'm from.
Oh, you shot it in Kansas City.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, yeah, at the Comedy Club of Kansas City.
Oh, nice.
And basically, the premise behind the special is, you know, a lot of us as comedians, we would never knowingly invite family to sit in the front row.
Terrible idea. And I walked out and I had told my family to sit as far away as possible.
They did not listen. There you go. And stage right was my mom and her new husband and their
group of friends. And then stage left was my dad and his new wife and their group of friends. And then stage left was my dad and his new wife
and their side of the family.
And then my brother and his wife
were in the middle of the crowd.
So it was literally like I was surrounded by family
in an unexpected family reunion.
First of all, so once again,
your parents put you in the middle uncomfortably.
It's like a custody battle over your punchlines.
It really was. It's like a custody battle over your punchlines. It really was.
It was so good.
I'm talking about them in
and throughout the special too, which
adds a whole new layer of weird because
then it's just like
if you ever do a race
joke or anything, if that race
is in the room, everybody's eyes go to
that person to check
if it's okay to laugh. You know
what I mean? So it was a very interesting. It's a cool way to do it. And it's so funny because I
think one of the things that you do so well in all the shows that we mentioned at the top of the
show, whether it be Kill Tony, The Jam, but more so like Kill Tony and The Roast Battle being part
of the wave and everything is being able to,
in the moment play off something that is happening in the moment,
in the best possible way to capture that live aspect of it.
So having your parents there,
I know that's crazy,
but like having them where they were and for this thing unexpectedly is such a
great,
I can only imagine you probably played off it so beautifully.
Yeah. I mean, you guys have seen me in a lot of weird different situations for even just with my
standup and stuff like that. Standup on the spot is the creation of standup. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Literally coming up with bits out of nothing off the audience's suggestions. So I just fully
embraced it and committed to my family being in the crowd and
it turned out to be a really unique evening that i was like i i want other people to share
what i went through and you know i i have like many little breakdowns at different points
throughout the show which are kind of fun for the audience to watch and i'm just commenting on it
and i'm like this is so weird you think this is weird for you guys this is weird for me it's like
this is bizarre right now like what do you like so it was a great time and i've been
getting great feedback so far from the people who've seen it and i'm really proud of it so
yeah if uh if you want to listen to it if you're more of an album person uh it's on spotify and
all that stuff or if you're a video person the specials out on prime and a bunch of other
platforms i love it and our fans will check it. He's such a unique and great comic who,
you know, for people who haven't seen what you do,
you're like a human cartoon.
And the thing that I love that you do so well
is your premises are great.
You work very hard on creating a really good premise.
And then you commit like hell to the punchline.
The act out of the, whatever the punchline is,
but your act out afterwards
is to me, the joy. There's like a joy in what you do. It's similar to the way we all do. Dan
telling a story, Jay and I acting out a scene together on stage after some we're doing. It's
like in that wheelhouse. So I'm going to tell all of our fans to check it out. Jeremiah Watkins.
Jeremiah, I'm just going to say as a friend and you and I are kind of in the same comedy class,
you're just a fucking worker.
You're a hustler.
You put the time in.
You put the energy in.
You're there for as much of the stage as you are the other comics.
And it's just great to see you do all your work, man.
I'm a fan of you since the moment we met.
I've become a friend of you since the moment we met.
And congrats, dude.
I really appreciate that, man.
Thank you.
I mean, I love you guys. So it was a big, the fact that we didn't get a, you know, you guys are like some of my go-to festival buddies that I really look forward to spending more time than just passing by in hallways and stuff at the club.
So this year you guys were heavily missed for sure.
And I want to say something really quick before we go into the second story.
You see, you know, some clubs are not going to make it like we don't know.
Cap City's gone down.
I think they're going to come back in some other form.
There's going to be some great stuff happening in Austin.
Obviously, we know our friends and everybody who's already moving there.
Sure.
But you're seeing comedy clubs say right now, like, hey, who do you want to see?
We come back before, during or after you listen to family reunion.
Go on Twitter and put Jeremiah's name in their mouth.
When you say, when they're asking, who do you want to see when we come back?
That's how it works.
Because they listen to the fans.
They get five people in Cleveland that say to Hilarity, he's like, oh, I want to see Jeremiah.
That's going to go a super long way.
He's going to get booked there.
It's very helpful.
Yeah.
It's very, very helpful.
Agreed.
So listen to this great album.
Yes.
Listen to the album.
You will love it.
And also get some of his merch.
Best saxophone hat I've ever seen in my life.
I love it.
And I've seen nine.
Yes.
JeremiahWatkins.com.
Where Jeremiah, or JeremiahStandUp.com.
JeremiahWatkins.com.
JeremiahWatkins.com.
I'm just, I'm JeremiahStandUp on all social media, but yeah, just JeremiahWatkins.com
for myself.
That hat is lit.
And I got to say, Sklar brothers i i believe a couple
of the tags because they you guys are phenomenal giving tags to bits i believe a couple of them
made them into the special oh yes one of those made it into mine too i love it dude and we were
just i was talking about the podcast assembly and this was like a very this was made us feel
really really good is that they were talking about David Cross was asking the whole
season two of assembly,
which is an amazing podcast.
They were talking about him going to,
he's going to solicit like response from the audience.
And they were talking to a ton of comedians in his class.
And he,
they were talking to Sarah and she mentioned that we gave her a tag that she
loved at one point.
And the Kings,
that's the joy of our lives as comedians.
It's the joy of it. She wasians. It's the joy of the thing.
She was like, why wouldn't I use it?
My friends thought of it and they gave it to me.
And it's funny.
And it's great.
And what goes around comes around.
I feel like you've given us stuff to try in our act as well.
Like everyone kind of, we pass it around.
And that is, again.
I mean, when you guys back,
when you were doing the like uh mickey
rourke hussein bolt race and you started throwing in re-rack them which was that the line that i
gave i was like it's the best feeling the best feeling ever re-rack re-rack them okay you guys
ready for a second story let's do it sent in by liz hagerty at liz hagerty love you liz love
headline is this this is why we're dumb people down. Bald man is busted at hair salon. What?
I know.
I know.
Wait.
A bald guy in Kentucky caused a disturbance at a salon.
This comes from thesmokinggun.com. After he asked a worker, quote, if she had product to bring his hair back and she told him no.
So he walks in, goes, do you, can you make my hair come back?
No.
Then he starts causing a disturbance.
Dan, do you think that's how she said it?
How he said it?
Yes.
Do you, how you say have hair make my hair come back?
Can you make hair come back?
Right.
I feel like, I mean.
Can you make hair?
I can grow hair on my lip but i can't sometimes
what dialect you guys are no but i love how sometimes i can grow hair on my lip
what dialect is this i don't know i can't grow hair i can't grow hair on my lip but one word
is done correctly yes one word one you guys sound like one half of an argument when you walk into a
convenience store. You're into
a 7-Eleven and this is the guy
fighting with the clerk. Do you have hair?
But also, this is Kentucky.
Listen, hair.
Can you give? No, I need hair.
I don't have hair. Can you
please give hair? No.
No. Oh, no hair?
Can I talk to you, manager? I'm the manager.
I need to talk to Gold about
the hair on head. He's a regional
character. We cut hair. We do hair.
We don't grow hair here.
Can you talk to your hairager?
No. Why are you still hair
here? Is hair here?
Because I don't can grow on my lip, but I
cannot grow on my head. This is Kentucky.
Can you move from lip to head?
No, you can't do that.
You're talking about hair restoration.
That's an FEUI procedure, and they take it from the back of your neck and scalp and put it up on the top.
I have unwanted hair on my taint.
Can you move the taint?
We can remove it.
I can remove that.
I can remove that.
We can go outside and I'll take that up.
All you guys go outside.
All of you.
Suddenly they're having a three.
Where can you put hair on Tate?
You transplant hair from maybe
back of calf to the back of...
I have jar of Tate hair from many men.
Okay, all three of you.
Three bald men.
According to police, that's who busted what it says
here the chrome dome invader jeffrey trent was arrested late last month after allegedly causing
disturbance inside a salon in lawrenceburg a city 25 miles west of lexington so you not to bring
this back to politics because i do want to keep it out of what we're talking about. But the idea that the truth is you're bald unless you get hair transplants.
You got to deal with the truth.
The truth is you cannot grow hair.
Right.
So if you walk into a salon and say, give me hair.
Right.
And they say, we can't do that because that's an impossibility.
You need to accept the results.
Right.
You need to accept the results that you cannot grow hair.
I feel like in this day
and age people are like no no fake news you're wrong fake news give me my hair right right can't
do what if you wanted a weave or something maybe we don't know we can we can leave a wig that's it
dan it's the give me what's mine attitude of dummies i know you want to hear about jeffrey
trent yes he's six three 250 pounds that is a big man he walked in here's where it
gets great he ambled in dan and he ambled in breathing really hard you thought that he was
bringing the only stuff in this story that made you go what are you people doing because here's
the deal he walked into remember this takes place in lawrenceburg kentucky 25 miles west of lexington
he walks into a hair salon asks for hair yep here's the sentence
trent walked into the frame clinic and gallery around 10 40 a.m and asked for a product to bring
his hair back an employee at the salon which also doubles as an art gallery and frame shop
okay told trent that no such magic potion was available. We do have some gold and glass free frames.
I have a picture that you can look at this business,
which is a hair salon frame store and look at it.
That's where you're going to get your hair done.
Do you remember when Sheryl Crow sang the national anthem at the world
series a few years ago and she was like playing guitar and
doing the harmonica and she had to introduce something i was like why can someone else do
this like shell crowing cheryl too much she's like dick van dyke and mary poppins let her just
do let her just this is what i thought you were gonna say if someone said to me i want to open
a frame store art gallery hair salon i would look at them and say
if it makes you if it makes you happy it can't be that bad
or i would say to them open it in kentucky middle of kentucky small town right or i would say i
hope it goes well just remember the first person that comes in to get their hair done
the first cut is the deepest that's right that's not her song but anyway the dialogue of the salon owner though
yeah by saying there is no magic potion do you know how condescending that is to look at a bald
person in the face when they're like hey could i maybe get hair and then they just say look at you
like there's no magic potion in this world that's going to put hair back on that ugly bald head of yours.
Also, you're right though, Jeremiah, in any context.
I just thought maybe if you gave me a chance, we could get back together.
There is no magic potion that will make me love you.
That's really what the person was saying.
There is no magic potion that's going to bring her back.
At this point, Trent became, quote, belligerent and created a disturbance inside the business.
Which one?
There's three.
Belligerent and created a disturbance means he knocked all the little quarter frames off the wall.
Yes, while yelling about a TV show he's mad at.
He was subsequently...
Son of a bitch, night court.
Yeah.
I don't understand why Sam couldn't leap back into his own time.
Okay.
Quantum leap back.
You know what doesn't taste good, Laverne and Shirley?
Shemizel my ass.
You what a shemazel.
He was subsequently arrested on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, which is more of like
a joke around just getting the card.
Trent, whose hair color is listed
as bald in the police reports
and jail records, was booked into the Shelby
County Detention Center. Another slap in the head.
In an unrelated hair color.
Yes. Bald. Bald.
Hair color, nothing. Right.
No potion. In an unrelated case,
Trent,
who remains behind bars,
is facing charges of arson
and criminal mischief
among others.
So he,
this was his day of reckoning.
I'm now going to bring up
a picture of him
and then you're going to guess
how old you think he is.
You know it's fun
when I show you first.
So the picture,
by the way,
is not,
sometimes it doesn't guarantee
that you're going to have
all the clues.
Sometimes it confuses you more because the picture comes up and it doesn't guarantee that you're going to have all the clues. Sometimes it confuses you more.
Because the picture comes up and it doesn't do justice to it.
All right, let's see this.
How old do you think Jeffrey Trent is?
First of all, in his mugshot, which we will have on the Facebook.
Looking at Jesus.
If we'll have on the Facebook page.
If you don't...
If you're not following us on the Facebook page, dump people down.
Do it.
And Sklar Brothers, do that too.
Jeffrey Trent.
They'll say, Jeffrey Trent, look right in the camera perfect he's not the light that's the light jeffrey he's trying to sneeze you know
how some people look at the light when they try and can i go i know i know it might be off because
he's looking up but does he look six five look at where the six foot marker is yeah i think he's
trying to get it yeah he's trying to get up a little bit more. Yeah. I'm 6'3". This dude has 80 pounds on me.
Oh, yeah.
Easily.
Even when you gained all that weight against Tony Hinchcliffe,
when you became fat and Tony Hinchcliffe got in super good shape.
Yeah.
He has like a beard.
How much weight did you put on?
35 pounds?
30 pounds in one month.
30 pounds, 30 days.
That's so unhealthy, and I could probably beat you
if I did that.
It's not that hard probably.
We'll get out of this second story.
Tell me how old, Jeremiah, you can go first,
take your third.
You can go first if you want,
you can go at the end, second, whatever you want.
How old do you think Jeffrey Trent is?
JT, if you're nasty.
I think he's 19.
19 years old.
J?
He's 39. 39 years old. Jay, he's 39.
39 years old and holding.
I was going to say 30.
I think he's 32.
32 years old.
Yep.
Okay.
Randy says 32.
39.
Jason says 39.
Jeremiah says 19.
Oh, God.
Jeffrey Trent.
We'll close out on this.
And then we have one more story.
And we have a little Patreon nugget.
Is 46 years old.
Oh my gosh.
That was close.
Very nice.
Imagine how young he'd look with hair.
I know.
Too bad he can't ever get it.
Dan, give us a little tease on the last story.
We've got a pizza record.
Pizza record.
Can't wait to get it.
When we come back, we're going to do a little special interview with Jeremiah.

part of this year
making pizza history.
Benoit Bruel,
which is a great name.
So, let me just
get this straight.
Okay.
He spent the better
part of this year
making French pizza
history,
meaning he's been through several women that he's dated who have said,
it's pizza history or me.
Right.
And look what he chose. And he went with the former.
And he stayed with this.
Benoit Bruel, BB, of Delice Pizza.
There is no magic potion in this world to keep me away from making this pizza.
I will make the pizza.
It kind of is a great answer
some people know the answers no when you say that there's no magic potion for you there's no magic
potion he's officially set the guinness world record for most varieties of cheese on a pizza
with a visionary pie that contains how many different varieties of cheese and my question
would be how is that going to get you laid?
Depends on how good that pizza is. How many varieties of cheese?
Jeremiah, you can go first, take your third.
How many varieties of cheese
do you think it was required
for him to get this record?
This is a stupid thing to say.
Guinness record.
I'm going to say
60.
I'm going to say like 140.
140 from Jason.
It's Guinness.
I'm going to say 321.
321 different types of cheese.
I don't even know if there are, but that's 140.
140.
321.
Visionary Pie contains 54 different varieties of cheese.
Oh, Jeremiah.
Well done, Jeremiah.
God damn, bro.
Dude, I know my pizza, and I know that to even get
to 60, that would be
such a huge accomplishment.
Even if you think about it,
when you order or you even go to
somewhere like a Blaze where you
get to choose your own, build
your own pizza kind of thing. You can't get past
10 things.
If you get past 10 there,
that's crazy.
So like to get even like upwards of 50 would be incredible.
I don't even, I'm sure, obviously this is my own ignorance,
but 54 cheeses, period.
I bet I could name 10 different types of cheese.
Provolone, mozzarella, and that's it.
What's your, what's your, Provel?
Cheddar?
Provel.
Do you think Provel is on this pizza? ProVal,
Cheddar, Jack, Ricotta,
Feta, Goat, Brie,
Brie, Larson,
Manchego,
Monterey,
Manchego. Dan likes
to put an extra N in things.
It's a Chicago way. Asiago,
Asiago, Fontina,
Parmigiana, Parmigiano blue cheese you say swiss alapino
jack he's got a good jalapeno jack out back that's the kansas city refinement right there
that jalapeno jack colby cheese colby sharp cheddar okay Okay. Mild. It is as
all you're crushing it as all triumphs
are. I feel like we got to probably 20 smoked
good. We're probably somewhere between 20 and 25
probably in the 20s. Yeah,
it is as all triumphs are
the product of the product of patience
diligence and struggle. I mean
we're making a pizza struggle is real guys
well unofficially broke
the existing record for a variety of
cheeses on a pizza way back in February
besting
someone else
chef Johnny DeFrancisco
cheese pizza. Okay
well broke the record in February
of 2020, but still had to gather the required
evidence of his achievement to present to
the Guinness Tribunal. Now he has done it his pie has received official recognition the official
recognition it deserves i've got a couple pictures and it tastes like garbage there's a picture of
him holding this pizza and it does not look that's it that's it yeah here look at here it's a little
closer for you this is the record breaker that's the record breaker? That's the record breaker. And he looks so French about it. Although his post seems really happy.
He says,
Yahoo!
Yeah, but Dan.
Go ahead, Jay.
There are some Guinness records
that you're like,
that's amazing.
I thought you were going to say
I never met Deidre.
He ran a marathon on a unicycle
while juggling.
Or he skipped a rock 97 times.
All right, those are some
really cool accomplishments.
Hell yeah, rock skipping.
I'm here for that.
I saw that on the Ocho. The rock skipping competition in Mackinac Island. I think I can... No, Jay. All right. Those are some really cool accomplishments. Hell yeah. Rock skipping. I'm here for that. I saw that on the Ocho. The rock skipping
competition in Mackinac Island. I think I
can... No, Jay. No way. I can
go into the 20... Don't even. Let's set up
the comedies of comedians
rock skipping championships.
I would do that in a heartbeat. I would do it in a heartbeat
and I would win. If you guys commentated on it, then
I would be a part of it. I would do it. I would commentate
on you playing ping pong. Go to the Malibu
Lagoon. I know.
You guys are the best with that.
That's so much fun.
When Jeremiah had long hair and Tony Hinchcliffe kept saying,
there's a girl on table two who's playing.
We're like, that is Jeremiah Watkins.
He's like, well, she is playing great.
That is Jeremiah Watkins.
Whoever that woman is on table two,
again, that is Jeremiah Watkins.
She's amazing.
She's really a player. Jeremiah, you is Jeremiah Watkins. She's amazing. She's really a player.
Jeremiah, you have a competitive tell that I love watching.
You'll do like a lip bite and a head movement.
Every time when you'd reset for the point, you go like this.
There's more of a longer hair thing, too.
You'd brush it back a little bit.
Okay.
Get it, Jeremiah.
I was pulling for you.
Tony would be like like that woman is
really playing like jeremiah walk his shirt is off that is a man she's got a great set of boots
he all right yeah i think he had a sweat this is not an impressive thing this is when you realize
that guinness is a beer he says yahoo he posted to the instagram page for the restaurant it took
me a while but that's it the guinness Book validated my record last Thursday. It's official. My certificate
arrives this week as well as
the list of cheeses.
Oh, boy.
He said, here's some of them. According to the dispatch
from the UPI, the pie in question,
in fact, oh, I'm sorry, guys. I had it
wrong. Whoa. It was
254
cheeses. I was
right. I had 321. I was right. I'll take it what did i say you know what daniel
that's the only one i got close to and i don't appreciate you sorry brother yourself this deep
into the story dan likes to give away and then take that i do not i never i never get them wrong
dan taketh away it had so in, it had 257 cheeses,
but he added three more at the last minute
and they didn't count those. Of course they didn't.
He did it to round out the flavor profile. At that point,
what does it fucking taste like?
It tastes like gross. Yes.
These impromptu additions are not included in the final
tally, perhaps due to a lack of required
evidence. When the final cheese list has not
been published, but a video of Burrell
weighing out... It's the final cheese list has not been published but a video of bro weighing out it gave some clues upon careful observation we conclude that the pizza features here's some
we've never heard of and i apologize for anybody who speaks french here we go dan tom artisanal
sous de la vonage oh. This is like the last
few weeks of the
TV show alone where we're watching
someone struggle through something so hard.
I'm like, just everybody
quit right now. Don't stop.
I'm in a horror movie reading Latin
in a basement and I'm summoning a ghost
but I don't know what I'm saying.
E pluribus
unum roca madur i'm not gonna work here

Oh, good.
A Charousse.
I tried.
And among several hundred others.
There you go.
Look at that.
They did it, guys.
So you did something that anyone can do
if they can get all the ingredients.
It's not like it was really hard.
All you had to do...
Yeah, taste isn't even...
It's just, did you make bread
and put 254 pieces of cheese?
Yeah, is it good should be part of the record.
Otherwise, it's like this gross lump
of different cheeses.
All you need is an oven, and you just need to track down 257 cheeses.
Agreed.
That's all you need to do.
Literally, it's like the oven isn't going to be like, wait, he's at 257.
We're going to burn his whole house down.
No, it's like you put it on the pizza, it's going to heat it up,
and then you broke a record.
It's almost like the worst way to win a record. To me, that's the point at which you're part of the guinness tribunal and
you're like what are we even what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing what are who
are we we're from a beer we come from a beer guinness i'll tell you who we are we're fans of
