You know, and then once I saw undoing I go, holy fuck
This huge you guy more versatile can fucking act
You never saw four four weddings in a funeral. I don't watch any English bullshit, but anyway nine months
Nine months isn't nine months. It's one of those pregnant movies. Yeah. Yeah, you don't talk until I bring your name up
Okay, got you
Get to see you though. It really is
You're not even looking at me

You want to start I want to be positive. I want to be good. Is the heat on you
Yeah, it was on so I turned it off. Oh, thank you. It's really hot here. I know, but I love it when it's sweaty in here
When I play at night, that's why I put the heat up when you get all those dubs with Dylan now
I got four four and ninths in a row. I'm aware of your record right again. Thank you
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and it's really kind of you
I'm getting better people are saying on Twitter that my awareness is you know made more clinical and you know, and that I'm
I've improved nice
So that's a good feeling anyway, what you want to start. Yeah
Five
Three two one here. Hello. Hello. Here you go. You grant. Hello
He loves it. He loves getting his penis dirty
You grant. Yep, and he's a great actor as well and that Nicole Kidman. Holy shit. Has she ever seen the Sun?
She's so white
But she's so beautiful
Yeah, you too. You too. You too, man. Is that Nicole Kidman? Those are you have Nicole Kidman's body, honestly
No, don't say anything. I'm her body double. He has to me Timothy McVeigh's body. Okay. Yeah, which is this probably the same thing?
He has a Timothy McVeigh vibe
It's good to be here. You know, we've taken a break from Tiger Belly
You know we the podcast that you were listening to the Bill Burr one the
uh, Jesse may just say me paluso one. They were all backlogged. We're now fresh now
We're we're up to date and it's really good day. I went to Hawaii. Oh, loa. Loa, Waikiki, you know
Mahalo to you. I love my law. I didn't leave my apartment or my hotel room for fucking a week and a half
And I just played war zone and then I acted as well
Mm-hmm, but um, I have to say something about this next guest. I
Saw a photo of his father
It's a good start. That's a good start on Instagram and I was confused. I was confused
I was confused man, and I'll tell you why man
So I see the father and I go
Handsome man by the way, you know, he's no Hugh Grant, but he's up there. Okay. I was looking at him when I was going
is
Jeremiah's mother a
pelican
Because the father's nose is like a button, right? Oh like small. Yeah
So he what is what is the where does he get the note the bird shit?
Yeah, I mean the big bird shit he had when can I start talking not yet. Okay. I'll say your name
I already defend the baby the longer. Yeah, he's getting up. I'm part of that gang. Yeah
Yeah, and I'm part of the I'm part of the bird gang. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I love the bird gang the tooch
But um, I also want to say I know I attacked you but that's not the intro that I was gonna start with. Okay
The intro I wanted to start with is a very good one and a very positive one and I have to say this
You remind me of a
Young like what I felt about Melissa via senior or I felt about
Leslie Jones in the sense that
There is something I think big that's gonna happen for you
And I think that and I hate saying this because it's a compliment, but I honestly think that you're a
mercilessly talented and I think that
Your work ethic is
Just up there man. I've never seen a young man
Work so hard
You fucked me in Vegas. Oh, you fucked me over in Vegas. I think you fucked himself. No when he opened for me
Yeah, oh, we can talk about
But he fucked me hard and it was a devastation
It was it was my 9-11. I can't wait
Sorry, I can't wait to tell my version of the story. It was absolute disaster
But I just remember you guys rented or read Mustang. Yeah. Yeah, it was a dodge challenger
Oh, don't show that much credit
And we drove out there, but so I think that he's really talented. He makes me laugh. I think
He what he's also done over the years is the neediness of him, right?
It has died down and he's a little bit more jaded, which I like
Yeah, look at him. He's got the Tom Cruise lies going
And I let's introduce his name is Jeremiah Watkins. Give him a round of applause. Yeah
Now you can talk. How are you? Thank you, man? It's so nice to be here with
Looks like a dumpling wish to be a real boy for a day. This is good. This is good. See this is what I love about him
Yeah, we got one we got we got one time. We got one time Theo Vaughn over here
Haha, go ahead. I love it. It's good man. Is there more? Oh, you look like a substitute teacher at Hogwarts
Yeah, see when people slam me
I'm used to that. I'm used to it. You know, I was grew I grew up with it, you know
So is there any more? You look like a bootleg home alone villain
That's for that one doesn't Christmas season one. That was a Christmas. Yeah, that's inspired by the beanie. Yeah
Yeah, and you look like the bottom of the wet bandits change jar. You know what I mean?
Yeah, I do know what you mean. Yeah. Yeah, the sticky bandits. Yeah, that fifth one was good too. Thank you, man
Any more? No, I'll simmer with that for a second. No, no, let me ask you something. Did you come up with those on the spot?
I've been thinking about you all day
Right because I knew I knew Bobby. I knew this how I Bobby greets me all the time
He has told me so many times like
Twitter I do that a lot sweet. Hi bird man. Yeah. Yeah, or he'll just go you're the ugliest person I've ever seen
That when I when I told him that my wife was pregnant. He goes
He's the ugly. I don't know how you did it. Yeah. Yeah, so you're the ugliest. It's okay
George gets the same treatment, but I'll tell you why and I and I and I he's projecting. I'm projecting. Thank you
I don't know what that word means, but I am
All right, so I'm projecting and number two
It's it's a sign of
Love coming from me. Oh, dude. Don't you do or do you think that I'm being mean? No, I love you
All right, so you know that there's love way back. I know that you know
There's love you wouldn't you wouldn't give attention if you didn't love, you know what I mean? That's right
The people that I feel that the people that I don't like I ignore exactly. Yeah, or
Or are on on my radar. I just kind of not that I do a Sebastian Monoscalco
You know what? What does men ask I'll go do at the comedy store?
He comes in he comes in doesn't suddenly you never even you know, he's there, right? He's in it. Yeah
Yeah, and a lot of doorman go they go
Does he really like me? He's like he doesn't even know you. He's not even thinking about yeah
Yeah, he's not even on a part of radar. Yeah. Yeah, you're not even a part of the you know, yeah
You're like a um, you know a tree or something or or the dumpster at the you know
The the back dumpster is at the comedy store. He doesn't so um when young kids come up
They you know it they have to do things to
To make me go. Oh, there there he is, you know, you know, who's another one I like is um
What's that little fat come down dumpster?
Yeah, yeah, I love that kid. Yeah, but I really do like you and I and I apologize if over the years, you know that I treated you um
poorly
Yeah
Yeah, I have ever made you mad. Of course. Tell me tell me some you you want to hear? Yeah. Yeah, um
One time you said to me
That we couldn't hang out anymore until I was a headliner
Damn, that's an ultimatum for sure and that was yeah, but you know what what a little fire
Underneath me. That's what I did because I was pissed because basically you told me that I had graduated from
Featuring for you. You're like you're done, dude. Yeah done. It's not it's not happening anymore. Yeah, and I was like, all right
Well, yeah, we should hang out you're like
Yeah, we're not hanging out until your headliner. Yeah, you know kidding, right? Did that we I have not hung out until I was a
Yeah, but I called you like the beginning of the pandemic though. Yeah, do you remember when I called you? No
Oh, exactly. And then what I said, I called us like hey a man
Uh, how's it going? And immediately you get filled with rage whenever you hear somebody say how's it going?
Cuz you you don't you don't like to talk to people on the phone. I know that about yeah
Yeah, I was like, hey, I just wanted to check on you and Kalilah's say I miss you. Love you guys
Yeah, sending some good vibes and you're like
Like right away, but he picked up he did pick up though. He never picks up. I don't pick up
You know that yeah, I don't pick up you picked up when I called you and told you that my wife was pregnant
You did and what did I say? You you say congratulations. Exactly. Because I'm a decent human being you'd ever seen
I know, but are you you said some things about how you you said some choice words about certain comedians kids that
I probably shouldn't say on the spot. Yeah, but leave that out. Please. I leave that out. I love to say it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay
Well, we could cut it out you can say it and then maybe if it's too much we cut it okay
He's like go ahead. Okay. We're gonna leave that out. Okay. I would cut that out
Too far too far a little too far. Okay, because he's one of the kings and I want to attack a king. Yeah, you know
So you want to talk about Vegas or what happened?
Yeah, I like the story. I like how you think that I set you up for destruction because
Okay, so Bobby calls me in the middle of the day
I
Remember this very specifically because I just got done shooting like a music video in Venice and he calls me
He's like amen. What are you doing tomorrow?
I was like, I don't know. I got like a show around here locally in LA, but that's about it. What's up?
He goes you want to go to Vegas?
And I go what?
You're gonna go to Vegas with Papa. Yeah
The way yeah, that's how I do and I was like like for like like for a show
Yeah, yeah
Daddy's got a private corporate gig and I need it open for me. Yeah, I was like, okay great
And he goes all right meet me tomorrow my place
Pick me up and then we're gonna go rent a car and then we'll drive to Vegas. I was like, okay, cool
So we go to the the rental place
He fills out all the paperwork and we're looking all the cars and then he like tosses me keys like an 80s movie
I catch him and he's like that's us over there. Yeah
And it's like your drive. Yeah, you know the way
Yeah, of course I did. Yeah, you're on your iPad the whole time. It's beautiful. Yeah, and it was a brand new Dodge Challenger and
It was like
Really a much faster car than we needed like by any means. Yeah, and we go to Vegas and
We have a good time like Bobby's take it to dinner. You did. I mean
I remember the picture of that steak. The steak was ridiculous because they were a fan of Bobby and they're like
I'm gonna get you prime cut and just we couldn't even finish the meat. Yeah. Yeah, and I being you know, his poor opener
I'm like, can I take some this to go? Bobby will not let you take
The amount of why why though, you're like I paid for it
That's mine because people I tell that story sometimes and people don't believe me
Yeah, the amount of meals that that I wanted to take with Bobby
But then you ever crazy, but you just leave it. But then you go you really want that you really want that, dude
You just take some money. Just go get a new meal. Okay, get a new meal. I know I'm such a gross person
Hearing hearing it though. Yeah, right. It makes me feel like why do I behave that way? So and this is good
This is a good thing. So then what happens?
so we have a great time like just like on the way we get some meals and stuff like that and
I remember at the check-in counter. We had a room like at this amazing suite at the win at the win. Yeah, like it was
It was like this amazing spread. I'd never seen a hotel like this in my life. I'm from Kansas
I'm like, I'm in Vegas right now with Bobby like this is crazy and we check into the counter and he's like amen
reservation for Bobby Lee and
He's oh welcome, mr. Lee and
He looked at the guy at the counter. He's like, yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna go fuck each other in that room
And and as a joke though as a joke as a joke, you know, Bobby does I like yeah, yeah, yeah that thing
Yeah, yeah, and and and I like go into it
I go along with it because I yes and everything like yeah, yeah, man
I'm gonna suck his dick and Bobby didn't like that. I played along
with it
He likes to be the weirdest person in the room. Yeah, it's mad when somebody outweards him. Yeah. Yeah, I do
It's really upset. I do. He's like, hey, he's like, yeah, I'm gonna fuck his butt like it like he had to
Yeah, so we check into this room
And I tell Bobby I'm like, oh, can we take can we take like some some promo photos?
and he's like, yeah, sure and
And so he has his shirt off and I started to take my shirt off and he goes whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
What are you doing? I?
Was I was gonna join in with you, you know promo photo. Yeah now man. That's me. You're the opener keep your shirt on
He's like he's very much likes to put me in my place like I like our entire friendship. I feel bad
It's okay, but finish the story so we go to this gig later in the evening and
It's for an all-male crowd
Literally at the top of the show
It's it's like a four Bobby comes a men's like it's a billionaire men's club
Yeah, and it's like, you know a bunch of businessmen and millionaires, right?
And I don't know why you would think that they would hire Burt Kreischer or somebody of that elk, right?
But for some reason they wanted me and so we go into this and also in this room, right?
It's not just a showroom. It's it's a gigantic like a warehouse looking like a place, right?
It's a mansion ballroom ballroom, right huge ballroom
And then it's like the other half of the ballroom is curtain off for an auction
So there's like sports cars in there and like memorabilia, you know, I mean, yeah and people are
You know in in in the place where we're performing people are there
But they're also people are out bidding and walking around in this other area
So there's it's and and we're supposed to perform for just the front part of yeah in this environment
It's almost as like performing in front of a cafeteria. Yeah, right because it was like there was no show
Almost what I felt like it felt like a nightmare. It was it was one of the hardest gigs. I've had I've never seen
anybody
Bomb as bad as Jeremiah. I mean, I've seen thousands of shows, right?
But here's what I loved about it. It's like, you know, when you bought like I've seen openers
Bomb and cry or they they start off strong
But it's late the crowd, you know, I mean wither them down into nothing, right?
And when I see that happening, I feel sad. All right, but what when I see what Jeremiah did, right?
It makes me proud like a proud parent. What this fucking guy got he goes up there and people there are guys
standing up
With red-faced veins on their faces, right? This is a hundred percent true. Yeah, a hundred percent true
You suck get off get off the stage. Yeah. Oh my god
Screaming yeah screaming, you know, they don't know worried about neighbors. Oh, yeah. Yeah that but that's
But literally literally
That's in the first 40 seconds. Yeah, oh right and I'm in the back like it through a curtain looking at him, right?
And when I'm hearing get off Jeremiah is on stage upside down
With a stool or something, right and a pose pole and he's doing some sort of
Right
He doesn't meeting thousand he does not care, right? He does how much three minutes? No
Well, I'm you said you said this is what you said right before I went on. Yeah, because you had to do 40 minutes for this
Oh, my god, you do 40 minutes and you go you go. All right. I
Need you do seven minutes and if you want to make daddy real happy do more like 10
All right. Yeah, okay, and before I went out there. They just done a raffle. They just done a raffle. Yeah, and then the guy the host
He gets handed a card and he goes. Oh, I
Guess I guess the the act brought an opener
This is my intro I guess the act brought an opener. Yeah
Please welcome
Jeremiah doesn't even say man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like Jeremiah and I walk out
Nobody claps. Nobody class because they want to see Bobby
Mm-hmm. So what Bobby knew was gonna happen is that I was gonna be the sacrificial lamb
Yeah, or that gig I ate it too
No, you didn't know you didn't I not as hard as you Bobby. You're doing that thing. You're doing that thing you do
No, no, no, no, no
Him saying he crushed it. Yeah, exactly. He did great
Oh, but he told me but but to preface this on the on the way to Vegas the entire time
Bobby is telling me you're gonna bomb the night. Oh, I love that one. You're gonna
Have I done that to you before my first time doing state
You actually get on this podcast for three weeks and promote. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, huh?
So and I was like, no, I'm not no, I'm not you're you're like you'll see you'll see and then it happened
The only laugh I heard the entire time was Bobby dying laughs backstage
Just cackling because it was so he thought it was so funny to see what was happening
Just the absolute nothing that I was getting in the ground. I know but I wasn't laughing at the because you're failing
I was laughing at the fact that you're seeing two different things at the same time. Yeah, of course
You're seeing hatred like literally like, you know, um
Imagine like AOC going to a Trump rally. Yeah, that's what it felt like. Yeah, like just the wrong person at the wrong time
Right and then AOC committing right to a speech
Right and finishing it like doubling like I'm gonna I have a ten minute speech
I'm in a Trump rally and I'm gonna finish it now imagine
AOC
Saying good night, and then Trump walking out kicking her in the pussy
That was Bobby that night
He destroyed and
Literally after the show like, you know, they're cutting in the check and stuff and they're like, wow, that's amazing
Everybody's coming up to him shaking his hand one pictures and I'm just standing there like looking for anything the entire time
Just looking for any reassurance and the booker kept looking at me and going
Yeah, kid. Good luck. Uh
Yeah, but then Bobby he knew what had happened
He took me out to like the nicest steak dinner afterwards and reward me like dude
You did exactly why I brought you here
You did exactly what I wanted you because I'm gonna tell you something all right if he hadn't gone up before me and done that
I would have struggled for 15 minutes. Of course. Yeah, right. Yeah, I knew so I needed a kid
Right that was gonna commit to it. Right was going to know he was gonna fail
Right and set me up
And I'm gonna say this right now. It sounds cruel, but I had been that guy
Of course, right. Jay Moore did it to me at USC. Oh, right. We had a daytime show, right?
It was so supposed to start at five, right and I was supposed to do 15 minutes
But I'm I'm I'm in my 15 minutes and and I was like about to wrap up
But the Sun was still up and Jay Moore goes you're not getting off stage until the Sun is you're mean
gone
Till it sets until it's black. Oh, geez, right? And I remember being up there for an hour
Yeah eating it
Just running around. I did everything I could every trick that I had in the running around
You know clap sing a song right? I was doing everything right and I bombed so bad
And I got off stage so angry off stage so angry and then Jay went up, you know, I mean everyone cheered
He killed it and I just remember just being in a ball of anger in the back
But then in retrospect I go I thought you know, that's just the best
You know
comedy experience that you can have because it's like
You're learning to perform
Right, like when you're on the tonight show and you're bombing
Right, if you're if you've condition conditioned yourself to pretend that you're doing well in a hostile environment, right?
People on the camera watching it are gonna go. Oh, he's doing fine. Mm-hmm, right?
It's if you let the audience affect you, right, then you're dead
And that's why I think the comedy stores or such store is so important because it's such a tough room, right?
Yeah, we were able to learn how to that's right when you play the comedy store and then you go to a place like the ice house
It's easy. It's like you're killing it, right?
but I think that you know putting young comics in those kind of
You know environments is a good thing in the beginning of all this you said that in Vegas. He fucked you
So it was the other way around I did fuck him
You fucked him. I fucked you. Yeah, dude. I fucked you and I apologize. It's okay, man
But look at you now. I know I'm here with you
No, it's not that
I've been we freaking made it dude. I'm gonna say something. Okay when I watch you when I watch you on
Tony Hingecliffe's show. Yeah, right? Yeah, what's a kill Tony? Yeah, right?
It's and I watch you improvise into different characters and and do your thing
I think I literally always think to myself. Wow, that guy is so funny. I really do
Quick quick quick quick quick quick for your teeth
You guys I never used to brush my teeth ever
It was like a yearly event and my teeth started falling out
And I think the reason why if I had quip my whole life
I'd have a full set of teeth and they'd be white and pearly
Because I use quip now right babe. Be real you do every morning every night and it's the cutest toothbrush
I've ever owned and I look forward to brushing because I like the the vibrations on it
It's very sensitive to my teeth
We love our electric toothbrush and you hear us talk about it all the time
But now quip has their sleek reusable
Floss pick that you'll want to use next the durable handle is easy to guide
Restrings with a click and comes with a compact mirror dispensing case for on the go
It has a single refill pod that replaces over 180 use plastic flosser
So it's better for your teeth in the environment and when I when I went to Hawaii and I brought my quip
It's so easy to transport work and the energy stayed through the whole trip to Hawaii
And when I went to the hotel on clerk, this actually happened. She tried to give me
Just a toothbrush
Like a hotel one and I fluck it. I flicked it back to her. Oh, wow. I go bitch. I got fucking quip bitch
It's a bitch twice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's how crazy it is
But now they have the floss pick too. So that's a bitch floss pick. I have to it

I think to myself that guy is so quick and so fast and he's young and
And he's white. He's he's odd-looking, you know, and I think all those things, right?
Well, what's so funny? I give you a couple of it. It's okay. I'm I'm conditioned to like the pain. I'm like, yeah, daddy
I know because I think
By you having by you being here at tiger belly, I'm
I'm I'm gonna say something out loud my my relationship with you
From now on is gonna be different
My relationship with you from now on is gonna be as a peer
Yeah
As as one of the gang, right? I think that you've done a lot
You know to prove to me and to the people or my generation of comics that you belong and that you're a real the real deal
And I I want to say I apologize for roasting you and treating you like shit over the years and
But I have to I have to say that I've always loved you and I um, I just think that you have a really bright future and congratulations on
I'm having a baby. Thank you. Yeah, and congratulations on the future. Thank you, man
Mm-hmm. I appreciate that God. That was hard to say. I know I felt like the graduation song like was
Yeah, that was difficult to say, but I really do mean that. What was your graduation song? Wait, when did you graduate? What year?
High school was like 07
Okay, it was around the time
It's the same one for like the ten years. It was yeah, right and then it was Green Day for a while
I hope you have the time of your life. Yeah, yeah, ten years before. Yeah, what I like about you, too
Is that you came to town as this devout Christian?
Right. Yeah. Oh, can I say something about like you congratulate me on and you never liked me to bring this up
But you and my wife have touched my penis more than anybody
Look at that. Congratulations to you. Maybe it's you're in my top, too
Dude, I'm not wait. First of all, you're my top because of because you have a Christian background
Yeah, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I've never touched your penis in the flesh
No, no, it's through layers of clothing and right. Yeah, and they're love taps. They're not really caressing some squeezes
You squeeze my nose. Yeah, he's like copy paste, you know, yeah
You've never touched mine. Oh, yeah. Well, that's the thing is like you don't like it when I touched it back
You do it hard. I don't I think I remember you doing it. No, no, I just gave you a little tap and you're like
You're like I'm the headliner, dude. You don't
Yeah, I know you know what and and because you're here. I'm gonna I'm gonna negotiate something with you
I get to touch your penis or we can negotiate this
Or we can negotiate maybe
that because
You know our culture has changed
that
Either we can do a deal where we can freely touch each other genitals. Okay anytime we want. Yeah. Yeah, or
We just don't ever do that again. Okay, or you could just state your consent now. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah
Oh, yeah, so what do you want to do? Give him consent man. Say it to the camera. No, I'm giving consent to Bobby Lee
Okay, touch my genitalia
Dude, you know that like your brother and I we're real close. We turn each other's pubes and stuff, right? Okay
That's crazy. I know keep it in an in a lock. No, but I've seen my brother hold up a bag of his own pubes
Oh, and I know because Jeremiah has something to do with that. Yeah, we're called scissor brothers
It's on Jeremiah wonders. That's this whole storyline. How many how many times have you done it with my brother?
He literally he was on this week for the fourth time. Wow. Now. Do you love my brother?
I love your brother. Why cuz he's like just the more positive version of
Right he is right, you know the movie twins with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, Arnold Schwarzenegger
But see here's the deal I want to be that positive light now. Okay, great, right? Yeah, I want you to have a relationship with my
Brother Steve. I love my brother. I love Steve. Yeah, but
but I
Don't want to be
The negative version of it, right? I mean, I want to be positive. Yeah, and do you feel that I've changed?
You've gotten more positive over the years for sure and Kaleila had a big part to do with that
Like a huge part to do with it like a massive part to do with it. Do you think so? Yeah
Yeah, she made you a better person dude off of me. Yeah, of course and he hard and called you out on your stuff
You didn't have anybody to call you out in your crap. So then Kaleila came in and fixed you man
Thanks. Yeah, she has done that. I mean my wife did the same thing with me
I like you know what I mean like as a comic like she's put up with a lot like you
You know better than anybody like how much you have to put up with when you're dating a comedian
It's like patience is such a virtue with you ladies
That's an interesting thing that you said because it's not obviously because the process is slow
And you don't really kind of see, you know the change really because it's just it's been an eight-year relationship, right?
But if I do look back, you know, there's definitely been a change and she's you know, she's done a lot for me
You know, I honestly think that I would have already had COVID
If you were you dude, you definitely would I would have because you still would have been touring and like sucking on mics and stuff
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would have number one Mike sucker, too
I know yeah, I suck on that. Yeah, I'm so close to it too all the time. I lick it
You know I mean so disgusting, but that's not your ultimate dream. Is it what stand up? I
Mean, I always want standards to be a part of my career. I'll always do it for the rest. Yeah, I love it
But you have bigger dreams. No
Yeah, yeah, what are they? I mean, I want to do movies
I want to be in a sketch show or whether it's my my sketch show or somebody else's sketch
I that's another that that's the feeling that I had that like the reason why I think that you remind me of Melissa's
I didn't think I think SNL might be
Could be in your future
We'll see I keep submitting so oh you do. Yeah. Yeah, Melissa put in she was very sweet
She put in a word for me this most recent time. It was yeah, sir
so because I think that once you go there and and Seth and
People see you is set up still a part of it
I don't know. I don't think so. It's Colin Joseph and Michael Chay. Yeah, Michael. Yeah. Yeah, so I think I think once they see you
I think once you're in the room off of a tape it would be difficult
But I see you go in there with your energy that you I think you have a shot at that was the first thing you
You told me when you saw me at the comedy store
You pulled me to the side because you used to Bobby used to
Like early on when he was single he would just go and hang out during potluck and he would just like watch
Comedians sets from the back of the room and just like and if he liked you
It was dope because he would pull you aside and a lot of times
I would see people get road work or whatever like hey
I'm gonna come up for me on terror improv or that here. Yeah, I used to do that, huh?
Yeah, you did do that a lot. Don't you anymore?
um, I
Don't know I just want to come home. Mm-hmm. I think I think that's what it is. Yeah, like when I wasn't in a relationship. I
I um, I
Mean there's a
Don't don't get offended, but it's two-fold. I like to stay out. Maybe I'll meet somebody. Mm-hmm. Oh, gotcha
Right, maybe you could meet somebody, you know, and then also I I love watching young comics, you know
Yeah, I do. I just you know, I like I remember a
Lot of young guys that are big now that I saw for the very first time at open mic night
Just sitting there and just watching them and going
Like that's how I met Santino. So I remember seeing Santino with Delia him and I were watching a
Sunday and we saw Santino go up and
Immediately him and I looked at each other and said
That guy's good. There's something about that guy, you know, and then you see the guy, you know
But then there are some people that you see and you don't think and they still do it
Well, yeah, you know, there were guys that like like Sebastian
When I first saw him I I could I would have bet my life on it that he would have never made it really
Yeah, because he was wearing a red
Silk, you know, I mean like, you know some sort of Vegas showroom. He was a Guido. Yeah, like a red silk button up
Do you remember my red blazer that I used to wear? No, you remember that? No, do you remember that call island?
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I used to wear a red blazer at the first couple years at his standup
It was obnoxious, but why because I thought it's gonna be my thing man. Yeah, I thought I needed a thing
Yeah, you know what I mean? That's why the red blazer guy
I made my hair really puffy and big sure and I used to suck like this. Really? Yeah
Yeah, I had my hair up like this unrecognizable unrecognizable like on old tapes and stuff like that. Yeah, it is this
I'd be like, what's up? So anyway, um and I used to do that on purpose because I thought that I needed a hook
Right, right and I used to wear like overalls with no shirt
Underneath cowboy hat cowboy hat cowboy boots and go up on stage like that and and I tried to like Steve
I know. Yeah, I was hey, that's weird. I know that's weird, but I
Felt like I need it
Yeah, but then you would have comics come up to you and go
Dude, just be yourself
Yeah, no, I like you're like what does that mean?
I got the advice from three different comics to tell me to stop wearing it
They're like you do characters. You're not a character. Stop wearing that thing. Yeah, you don't point
Yeah, and I think the people that like stick to those things those hooks
They just it they're just one dime dimensional really. Yeah, you know, there was a guy named Jackie banana
You ever don't tell you about Jackie banana. I don't think so. Yeah, but this oh wait, I do remember Jackie
It sounds the name so there was his name was Jackie Graham
So it was a comic named Jackie grab and one that night he was performing at the store and Mitzi
Comes up to him and says
Your new name is Jackie banana, and he goes what your new name is Jackie banana
He goes, okay, you had to wear a yellow suit
Right, so he would go up on stage as Jackie banana wearing a yellow suit and then you know
You never really you didn't really pan out or there was like and that man is Chris rock
And then there are other ones like
Well Carlos was one of those Mencia where you know his Mitzi told him to change his name
He told Jackson Purdue she told Jackson Purdue from now on you have to wear a thick purple turtle neck
like in the summer
So he did it for like three years. Wow. We're a fucking turtle net purple turtle neck, all right, and
Because this is back in the 80s when
Works were like they thought like you know like y'all coffee should wear enough, you know, yeah, what a country
You know I mean that type of thing. Yeah, sure, but now
What's your baby's name we don't know yet is it a boy or girl it's gonna be a boy is it I saw that you're
Obulating Kalilah. I was any any plans with you, too. How do you know?
She texted me bro
Don't text me. She text me text me when I took that picture of my 70s thing
And then you took it that oh, yeah. Yeah, that was the caption was this usually was yeah
Yeah, I think my factory might not be in
in
Full working shape. Okay, sure. Yeah, you know, we we haven't really tried it out during ovulation period
So we don't know you might be shut down for good
No, how do you know? I want to get it started. Are you? Yeah, that's not I want a baby
But I don't want to talk about baby because we always talk
What do you mean? Whoa?
That'd be cool to see you guys parents. So are you still a Christian? I
I still believe in God, but I I don't think that I because you were a guy that wouldn't trick off
Yeah, I none till I was like 17. Yeah. Yeah, when I met you, you're like, I know pussy
Wait, hang on. I want to get I want to get into this
So what would you do when you would feel the urge? Were you allowed to use your rub up against a wall without using your hands?
I would get super creative I would go to rock climbing gyms
Just
Just leave me for a little bit
No, I I don't know so
Until older like I literally just didn't know I
Had no sex education at the Christian school that I went to they literally like we're gonna skip this section
Oh, wow abstinence. Yeah, that's the only way. Thank you. Yep. We're gonna move on from that
Yeah, and it was one of those things where I was like, okay
I just started getting an ungodly amount of boners where I was just like this is this is crazy
Yeah, like I was like dude if I hugged a girl in the hallway at high school
It's like immediately and I'm wearing like basketball shorts and I'm the kid who's like walking like with the books and stuff
Yeah, you know, yeah, just trying to hide it and stuff like that. So then I started jerking off and then you know loved it and
Never feels good. Oh, if it feels so good. It feels real
Was there a bagel
Literally, yeah, there's a bagel that
Did you ever go into pornography or no? I did
Only a few scenes I shot um I
Would look at porn but there's a lot of guilt associated with that and I actually so I haven't been looking at porn during
the pandemic really
Which I've been trying to avoid doing it because I feel better about my relationship and everything with my wife when I'm not looking
At that stuff. I try not to consume that stuff
Because it makes it does make our sex better for sure
Yeah, if I'm avoiding looking at like graphic stuff online like it's just it is more special as cheesy as that sounds
But I do think like I've done it both ways
But when I'm on I was on the road, it's like you got to take care of it on the road and I would like yeah
You know go to town like you'd have to yeah, you have to yeah
Do you get girls hitting on you on the road now or no? I don't think I put out that vibe
Yeah, you don't have a sexual. No, I know you're a sexual being right right? No
I'm gonna throw that out there. Yeah, you're a very sexual being and I could see why women would be attracted to you
Thank you so much, but
but
You have mutante face. You know what I mean?
He calls everyone mutante. Yeah, it's like a mutante. You know you have a very like what what is that disease that were
The skin is inside out
Harlequin
Bobby would send me photos all the time and say I just found your doppelganger
He would send me those photos all the time
Dude all the time he's like graphic stuff. I think there was one time
We were looking at we were watching one of those shows and like the kid had like Pierre Robin syndrome
And you were like, that's a baby Jeremiah
Yeah, but you know, um, I apologize again, I'm okay. I'm okay changing as a person
I have to apologize because one time I did something as a comic that was very embarrassing in front of you
Kalayla this and you I doubt you I doubt you remember this
I remember everything you remember everything. We were at we are at a yard house after one of the shows at the improv
And we're eating and Bobby was making Asian jokes
And he was like saying jungle Asian and all this stuff and I think I said like an Asian slur
And Bobby went up to me by the throat and he goes
Yeah, but in a joking way, no, no, no, I would never violently attack you. I did that. What was it?
What was a slur? I think I said
Say it
No, but we're allowing you to do it because here look into my eyes and call me whatever you
Then look back at the camera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so you said gook. Yeah, right? Yeah, and then
They lift you off the ground
Yeah, you got angry about that. I don't think I did that. That's why for me if a white you were trying it was early on
It was very early on dating Kalayla. You were trying to impress how long I've known you. I've known you before yeah
before Kalayla really
Jeremiah was at
The Irvine and no, Brea Brea improv, okay, and you opened for him and I remember
You doing your jokes about snorting cocaine. Yes. Yes, all right him. Yeah, yeah
Huh, I think it was then that we it was probably then yeah, it's probably the yardhouse right after that show
Yeah, and I remember Kalayla like like kind of like looked the other way and then like we went back to eating and it was fine
Like well, here's a message to my white friends out there my white male friends
Okay, if you're a white male careful, I know I am and you're out with your Asian friend and your Asian friend
Yeah, right is dating another Asian, right? My message to the white guy is don't call the Asian woman a gook
It's more no it was more the false sense of like, you know when you're hanging out with black friends and they're using the n-word a lot and then you get excited and you're like, oh
I can say it too. It was that similar situation
You're going down the list of like Asian slurs and stuff
Yeah, and I am a young comic trying to impress Bobby and I like
Yeah, and I've never actually by the way, I have never I've wanted to
But I never thought that I've been around a lot of like black friends and they use the n-word, right?
But for some reason I just never had the balls to do it, right?
Good for you as it should be you never and I hope it's trying to get beat up
You know me. I just never had I've wanted to like, you know, I'm real like I'm real close with Jamar neighbors and Willie Hunter
Yeah, we've done I love them years and years of shows together
Yeah, and they'll let me have one every like couple years. Oh
Really? Oh, yeah, would you ask first man? No, I don't I don't because it cuz it kills
Because we're all friends. Yeah, and they're like I used to do this joke that Jamar would give me like it was this bit that I
Definitely can't do anymore
But Jamar would be side stage and he would give me permission to say the n-word
And in front of the crowd that's great and I would do it and like half the crowd loved it
Yeah, and then the other half like was fuming angry every time I do it
Yeah, because that's another reason why I like you
In terms of your work is the the roast battles. Yeah, and your work with Jamar, right on those roast my battles are just so
Fucking funny, man. Some of the things you've done you sometimes I've been involved, right?
Yeah, you jumped in a couple times. It's amazing. You make me do it
Yeah, but the things that you guys would do I just felt like there was a good you and Jamar should do something
Yeah, there's a good chemistry. Yeah, we have good chemistry. Yeah. Yeah, we want to figure something out
Did you grow up with black people? I black friends and stuff like that and then like my mom
I technically I had like a black stepdad for a little while after my parents had divorce and stuff like that. Oh
Yeah, who was that? Did you call him that word? No, but my mom did
I
Really? Oh, yeah, oh, that's like terms of affection for that. All right
So the yeah, so the dad I saw on your Instagram isn't your biological dad. That's my biological dad
Oh, yeah, but he does look like he's a darker skin tone than me. I'm yeah, it's weird
He doesn't do nothing like it. I look nothing like my family members. I look nothing like them
It's the weirdest thing. I think we should get it. Could you have been adopted? I don't think so
Really? I don't think so. There's no similar like an eyeball. I look like my dad's brother a little bit
But I have my dad's eyes. We both I have my dad's like brown eyes like a hundred percent. Yeah
Haven't met your brothers or sisters?
No, you haven't why oh, you know what you've you not you didn't meet my brother
But in at the Kansas City improv when they asked for and you asked for a volunteer to do your striptease on
My brother volunteered one night and he called me. He goes, I just got a lap dance from Bobby Lee
So that's the only connection that you guys have is is he's literally why wouldn't he have said I'm Jeremiah's brother
Well, I was grinding up on him. I don't I don't know I can't do that anymore that dance. Oh, really? Oh, yeah
That's done done
Had to end somehow. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing closer. I was the only is the only closer that every
Weight staff and every comedian would still pile into the room to see even though you've seen it
It's yeah, I would feet. I remember one time like me a couple years ago
I
Have a Christian friend her name is Beverly and she lives in Texas
Mm-hmm, and she'd never seen the striptease and she saw the show. She was laughing through the whole show
But then when she saw it
Her husband and herself came up to me after the show. They came in the green room
They throw holy water at you. No, and they were really concerned. What? Yeah, I just like for your well-being
No, like I don't think that you need to do that. I think it's against, you know
Because I know you don't believe in Christ, but
It's against the energies of what Christ would want you to do. It's just it's it's blasphemy
You know me and I'd be like I was like, but it's killing
Yeah, I don't care about Christ. I the audience loves it Christ killed two. Yeah, but like
And then I remember being in Kansas City and the manager
I doing that dance and the manager being a Christian
He he told me to come into his office and he said let's pray about it really
Yeah, so we got on our hands and knees and we prayed about I love that offer
I love when people ask to pray over things that I've yeah, but then I did it every show after that
That's what my grandma does what when I call her like she'll like check in on me and stuff like that
She's like, well, let's let's just pray about it. Let's pray on this. Let's just pray on this
No, is your grandmother to date now because I know that you come from a religious family
Mm-hmm. Are they freaked out that you're still out here?
My grandma is for sure and why yeah, what do you mean? Why I mean she thinks this is this
Is the devil Satan City? You know what I mean? She does? Yeah, it's like what's the only time about it?
The only time she was proud of me is when I did a Chevy Volt commercial
Really saw it on CNN and Fox and she could show her friends and the old folks. Oh, yeah
She's like she literally said to me. She goes well
I don't agree with a lot of that you do out there
But if you keep working for good American companies like Chevy then I can get behind that
Wow, like what?
You know, it's it's the divisions because you know, it's it's funny
You and I both Jeremiah have been out in the world. We've got we've been in red states
Yeah performed and the people that come out look like the people that you would see in LA
Right, you don't really see a difference. I
Don't and it's like it's funny how people think that like LA some sort of like
Wasteland or you know some dystopian wasteland where it's like there's crime happening. No, you see kids
You know me and and families and and yeah, like you would see anywhere else
It's all the same and yet, you know, I don't know. It's it's it's just weird out there, man
It's you know, I think maybe the media does have something to do with it
Yeah, they think they have a lot to do with it
Right carving out some sort of like, you know, it's all about perception or narratives
No, thank you about narratives, you know, but we're all the same. I want to meet your grandma. Will she meet me?
I don't think so. Why? I mean
Would she say the G word? No
No, why wouldn't I okay? Let's you play your grandmother. Has she seen an agent? You play your grandmother. I come over
Okay, where does she live in an apartment? She lives in like an old folks home right now. All right, so what room number is it?
201
I would show yeah, yeah, so I'm left Kingdom. You're not knock on the door. I got knock knock knock
Hello, hi, what's her name? What's her name? Bernice Bernice? Hey, what's up? My name is Bobby. I'm a calm one of the new nurses
No
No, no, no, I am Jeremiah's friend from Los Angeles. I'm a comic. He opens for me sometimes. Oh, how's he doing?
I don't hear from him. He's
Oh, we're doing great. He's really climbing the comedy ladder and I think he's very talented. Can I come in?
Okay. Yeah, so Bernice Bernice. Yes, Bernice. Yeah, yeah
How do you feel about Jeremiah being in LA? Oh, I feel like he's a lost soul
Oh, you oh, I feel like if he gets right with God and maybe comes back to Kansas and finds a different career path and that would be
More in God's storyline for him. Wow. Yeah, right. So you think that like, you know
Because Bernice if like Van Gogh, right didn't paint would you think that that would have been a good thing?
I think you're comparing apples and oranges, Bobby. What do you mean? There's one true God and there's only one path to him
Bye
I would not know what to say. Oh, yeah, you don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bye
There's no it's you hit a railroad. So she's really like handmade his tail
I mean, it's pretty she was a missionary in the Cayman Islands
Oh, like so she has taught like with like
They were like the only white people on the Cayman Islands. Oh, they were like taken care of like they like
There and it was very like a unique situation where like they were very revered and very respected because
They were you know, they're rare people who were bringing God's message to them. Yeah, so
It's a whole different so if I said to betris
Bernice Bernice, right? But trees. That was a stretch Bernice. I was if I said to your grandmother Bernice. I said, um
Jeremiah and I are getting married
What?
What would she do?
I
You want me to know not as Jeremiah. Okay. I didn't want me to stay right. What would she do?
I mean, she would she
I think that she would tell you to your face like I don't believe that gays should get married
And I think that you can pray about this and get rid of this. Wow. So yeah, that's it. You know what I mean
You can't change that. You can't yeah. Yeah, there's not like I'm as not
I'm happy for you kind of thing like she just thinks one way she wouldn't come see you perform
Then I would never invite her she'd have a heart attack if she if she
Yeah, if she found my youtube
If she ever saw my youtube they've my family's been hiding my youtube from her for so many years because she's not that tech savvy
But she could get like she could get on the internet. Yeah wants to yeah
And I think that she kind of knows by the way my family talks about stuff
Like like I don't know it's kind of like a family who their daughter does porn and they're like no
You know, she's still she's doing some modeling. Right stuff like that
You don't need to see it like we'll let you know when it comes out when the next project comes out
But are your are your but your parents aren't like that?
No, they used to be at some point like more my more so my dad, but yeah, but your dad's into it now
Because because a little bit well because what you posted on instagram. Oh, I know was a newspaper article
Yeah, a newspaper that you and your dad as when you were a kid used to read every sunday, right?
And now you're in the arts and leisure's portion of the knotted grandma Bernice see that
I hope that they take it to her
I mean that would that would probably be nice because they talk about they talk about in the article how I the guy who watched my special
Uh, how I don't uh, I don't swear in it like I talk about graphic stuff
But I don't swear and my grandma probably love that, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, so he called my comedy PG 19
Because that's what I do. I don't really swear with my stand-up
I choose to be to paint the the words differently with different stuff
Just because I've like never like people it's weird people come up to me like after shows after I'm talking about jizzing and stuff
And they're like, thank you so much for not swearing
But jizzing, but I'm you say jizzing. Yeah. Yeah, they don't jizzing not swearing. No, and you can be like
You know the whole thing and and they're like you didn't say the f word. So we appreciate that. It's very weird
Wow, very weird. Yeah
But your dad is slowly getting there then
He what like just more loose with everything. Yeah in terms of he's much more loose
Like where my parents are now is night and day from where I was when I was a kid. Yeah
Yeah, it's literally so if I like because you know, you know, I you know
I I wrote a show with my friend Peter and well, it's so we had you on it. Would they watch it?
Would they watch the show like yeah, I have I have a network show that I'm working on now, right?
And we put you on it. Would they put would they watch the net watch you on the show? Oh, yeah, for sure. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely
You played a gay guy
Um, my mom has been saying for years that I only like to play women and gay guys. Yeah
Yeah, but but she thinks it's funny. She's like, yeah, but you know what I love about you, too
Is is that you um came here because I do remember you being really religious
and really like, um
Not scared, but like, um, you know trepidatious. I guess yeah trepidatious. Yeah, and um, it's that you did you have changed
You know, I mean for sure. I mean, dude
I from where I my belief system to where when I started out here in LA to now is night and day
Like I I didn't even really have relationships with gay people or anything like that and like gay marriage back in the day
When I lived in Kansas, I was just taught like, oh that you that you shouldn't that shouldn't happen
Yeah, you know what I mean? And obviously now like I'm a friend open person. I'm yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah
Yeah, yeah, that's great. You what do we have one? Yeah, we got a question
You know what happens at the end of the show? What an unhelpful advice. Okay, you know, you're not a fan of the show
You don't know I am I am
You try to play it cool. You should play play play. No. No, I thought you're setting me up for something. No, I'm not gonna hurt you anymore
Oh, okay. No, I already fucking said that trauma time. Are you traumatized the way I'm acting your body language
No, but I think I think that you and I still like I think there's an energy between us
Yeah, that I think I would I would like to get to be more of like fun. No, no
No, no, nope
It's over
What's over?
Wait, he wants to get to that point where he can fuck back, right?
And when he fuck when he said the four fucking things about me
Yeah, if I look like a fucking pillow panda or whatever you're fucking saying we're talking about, you know
I mean a flat floating fucking gaslight panda, right? I was just like bringing on, you know, I mean about
Harry pot or whatever he was saying, you know, I mean, so I was like bringing on right
And I was I defensive about it. No, I
Rolled back the tape
I absorbed it, right and I and I smile like giggled about it
Check it and I go hey, do you check the gate? Check the gate? Yeah, so, you know, that's the deal, you know from now on
um
I'm gonna treat you like a human being. This is a cathartic episode for us both Bobby. Yeah, I mean, we're not gonna be like
You know, I mean you don't call me crying
Oh, man. No, we're not there. Who do I call crying? I know, but just don't go
You cry a lot
No, but I don't want that kind of relationship where he's calling me about fucking sensitive shit, right?
Oh, it's pretty rare that I cry, but I mean my like
Maya sees me cry every once in a great while. I love her by the way. Yeah. I love Maya. She loves you guys
I really really really do love her. Yeah. She's um, perfect for you. What a ray of sunshine. She really is. Yeah only positive
I love yeah, it's amazing
Where's she from? Northern California. Oh, so she's hippies. Uh, yeah, her dad used to sell like candles on the side of the
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's good. Did you know does
Patrice know like her? Um, Bernice, Bernice. She just doesn't know
Patrice, Patrice
She doesn't like really know her like that because we've only like but you're married
I know, but I only go back to Kansas like with
Maya like once a year, maybe and we'll see my grandma for 30 45 minutes inside like her home
You know what I mean? So it's not like they have a an ongoing relationship. Is it awkward? Yeah, it's always awkward
It's always awkward. I can't I'm so sorry. I mean imagine if my grandparents were alive. I wonder how you would um act around them
My family's so easy. My nana and big pop like my mom's side of the family
I wish that my wife would have gotten to meet them because they were so chill and so loving and so relaxed with
They're not with us with everything. I'm sorry. Yes
Happens. Yeah
Um
Would you come to my funeral?

You were asked to co-headline with chappelle
40 000 seats
Um on that Saturday the same time that bobby's funeral is about to take place and this is
Wow
That hurts
The pause hurts the pause the reason why I pause is because like are there other wakes going on?

A carriage a baby carriage. No a wedding. This is all blankets
Towels spices. What do we get mer?
It was just money towards the honeymoon, right? Yeah. Yeah, how much
It was you know a couple grand. It was from my bank account now yours. It wasn't as much as it was. Did you have a fun honeymoon?
Yeah, where'd you go? We don't have to tell her
Oh
Do the thing
Bobby Kalala a job by Watkins
Here's my situation. I'm currently working for a large department store chain
The pay is shipped and the working conditions are even worse
most recent paycheck is uh, uh, also nearly two weeks late now
I work in a position where I have access to most products in all areas of the store and can remove items to be shipped to customers without anyone paying any attention to me
No one really knows who I am there and no one pays attention to me in my main area where I work
My question is is it wrong for me to take small valuable items from the store like jewelry?
As sort of a vigilante justice sort of action to counter the act gross mistreatment of employees
And the terrible capitalistic ideals of the company and help spread their hoarded wealth from price products to other people in my community
Uh, what do you robin hood? That's what he wanted to say is basically
I know Bobby Kalala had mentioned how they never take from an independently owned or small business
Uh, but should I play some sort of robin hood type individual to help others in my community?
And also myself because I have very expensive medical costs like insulin. You know what I
When when I was in high school, my best friend jessica was the asian robin hood
and she
You know my sister and I didn't have a lot of money or family didn't have a lot of money and for our birthdays
If I wanted a baby fat jacket, she got me a baby fat jacket from macy's and always big big establishments if I wanted, you know
Whatever what was a fancy cologne then I always use men's cologne like curve blue water cool water
aqua digio
Whatever I wanted she got it for me and um
I am forever grateful that you know an asian robin hood existed when I was young. Um, I
I go ahead
I used to work at a coffee shop
and we used to put
We were but they had these old registers where if somebody who used to be slammed
And when I would play the when I was the register guy
I was I figured out how to
um ring something up without having
To put it through the register. So they would give me the cash
Right and then I was able to I would take that cash and put it in the tip jar
And I did it. I would probably make an extra
For the for because we had to split the the tips
So an extra couple hundred bucks
And I did that
For years as starbucks. I stole from them for for years. Yeah
For years I would get like uh, you could mark things out as damaged. Yeah, I would just go
Oh, oops. Yeah, I'd drop it and then it would have like a little dent in it. I'm like lunch
Oh, and you would take it. Oh, yeah, I get naked juices. I'd get sandwiches
All this different stuff like yeah, just to survive the first couple years in LA, you know, yeah
I'm gonna answer like he's my son
And I just don't think it's worth it overall like getting caught especially, you know, like
I
my son I would say, um
I just know what the consequences are
But you know, get me some shit. Yeah. Yeah, hook it up. But go wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Give me a list of things they do have the amount of sandwiches and stuff that I hooked friends up with
Like at Starbucks while I was there like I would bring home so much stuff and it fed so many comedians. It was great
Yeah, all you were comic then. Yeah, my biggest high school crush ever
I won't say his name, but I was so in love with so in love with him
But he got kicked out of high school like two months before he graduated because he robbed a soup plantation
I was really upset about it. He did. How do you rob a buffet? Yeah
He he robbed a soup plant. I think they broke in or something and I don't know how it happened
Oh, he never graduated. I thought it was soup like they're taking like
Like out of there like why would you do that? Yeah like in bags. Yeah, that's only garbage bags of soup
RIP plantations, by the way. Oh, they're done. RIP. They're done. Yeah
I don't think that was
Jeremiah, what does he do? We didn't hear your thoughts. I think
I mean, just be careful if you're gonna do it
I don't think that you should necessarily do the robin hood thing where you're like
Giving it like to tons of people in like a community like if it's people close to you
And it doesn't it doesn't get like out of hand then I guess that's maybe okay, but you know generally
I wouldn't say you should I think if you're doing it for the good
If you have the gifting these people and not charging them an arm and leg and you're making a lot of people happy
Maybe, you know, do it in little bits at a time and space out. But make some money
I mean if you're gonna do it make some money
So not not much money. Not robbing it at all. Not robbing. No, you you you do robin hood it, right?
But let's say you you steal like a stereo system. Yeah, you ocean's loving it. Yeah, yeah, right a stereo system, right?
You sell it. I mean don't sell it for 10 bucks
Right sell it for if it's worth 500 bucks sell it for 100. What kind of stereo system did you have in mind?
I don't know. I don't I've never met I've never I don't know what kind of stereo system like bows. Yeah, you got bows
Okay, yeah, yeah, and then like, you know make a little money if you can take the risk
Little bit
Yeah, no cash in baby
That's not a robin hood at all that guy named robin. That's robin. Yeah. Well, this is rob him
Yeah, he's just robbing them. Yeah, he's a robbing hood
There we go because if he's young, right and he goes to prison, right
You can learn from your lesson, right
Just see
It's not the way to learn lessons. Yes, it is. What are you gonna get a year?
No, it depends. You just fucking ask three times. It gets there a limit
Isn't it like a misdemeanor if it's like below a certain amount and then a felony if it's above a certain amount
Yeah, because I remember my friend always saying that it's got to be
You can't go over. I right. I would just amount. You got to be safe just in case
I'm gonna say who but I I was in a um
I was acting on something and I was in a van with a driver
And we were talking because we had to go a long way
And he goes I was in prison for 30 years
Yeah, and now I would use this cool union job and I know how much transport people make they make a lot, right?
And I go
Why were you in prison?
We used to rob banks, right? I robbed like 20 of them
And I got away with most of it
But I spent 30 years in prison, right? But look at my life now and I've changed. I don't rob and I don't steal
And I just thought to myself
He learned his lesson
So steal. What a great example. So steal. I can't wait for you to be a dad, dude. Yeah
No, if it was my son, I would say don't do it. Yeah, right? Yeah, that's what we would say at the end of the day
Don't do it
At the end of the day. I don't know if I like this new me
What do you mean?
With Jeremiah
Because as soon as you're gonna resist dude, I know as soon as as soon as I have you did you notice as soon as I threw that out
Right as you're even in this pond. Yeah, my energy change. This is I'm gonna say just to be transparent. Yeah

Yeah, the dynamic you're right. I mean, you're right because I once I said I was gonna make peace with you
It's like you you shut energy off
I know and I and I'm like and I should do you notice that
