Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger.
My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth.
I say that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today.
It's Mr. Jeremiah Watkins.
One half of the scissor bros, like I said before,
you are the, how do we say this?
You're the troublesome one.
You're the colorful one.
You're the tall one.
You're the pale one.
You're the one with the social problems.
You're the one who gets in the most trouble.
Yeah, I'm the bad boy.
You're the bad boy of the two.
Yeah.
And Steve is what?
He's the girl next door.
He's the cute little girl next door?
Yeah.
And what does she do?
Oh, she does a lot of bad stuff.
Yeah, she kicks her feet up behind her head while she's on the phone with you.
Like her legs over her head?
You're talking about put her legs behind her head?
She's a contortionist.
Whoa, she's a perv.
Mm-hmm.
Jeremiah and I have known each other for quite a long time.
I've done his show.
I've also done The Scissor Bros.
Go check that out.
If you haven't seen me on that show,
I just did it where I stole his baby,
and we told the world that Jeremiah and Steve
pay me all their residuals for the rest of,
I guess, the next 20 years
that you guys do a podcast together.
Yeah, it's pretty serious.
Yeah, and I want my money soon, by the way,
because we're already on the end of the month.
Does tonight's appearance count as, like,
Sure doesn't. Okay. Yeah, pay I want my money soon, by the way, because we're already on the end of the month. Does tonight's appearance count as like...
Sure doesn't.
Okay.
Yeah, pay up, pal.
By the way, I brought my baby.
You delivered the baby back to me after having fun. Your baby's in the car right now?
Yeah.
Is that safe?
I don't know.
Is that not something...
Well, if you have a Tesla, I know they do that thing with the dogs that says,
don't worry, my owner's coming back.
Oh, that made me so sad.
We'll get you a,
let's get you a Tesla.
Okay.
Guys, click right here to donate to Jeremiah's
Let's Get Jeremiah a Tesla Fund.
We started it not too long ago
and we already have raised about $185,000.
Yeah, it's going pretty good.
So hoping that we can get around
to a half a million to get you that Tesla, bud.
I brought my baby by the garage the other day.
Oh, no.
Really?
So for those that don't know, I shot Scissor Bros with the boys,
and we shoot it in Jeremiah's garage.
And the baby was traumatized because Jeremiah woke him up right as he was about to take a nap,
put him in my hands, and he had no idea what was going on.
And he bawled.
He was crying the whole time.
As soon as we put him in Andrew's arms.
Just scream. Just like immediately. And he's not a what was going on. And he bawled. He was crying the whole time. As soon as we put him in Andrew's arms. Just immediately.
Just like immediately.
And he's not a big crier like that.
But it's funny because I'm great with kids.
I'm great with babies.
But also, I didn't know how to hold your kid.
So I did put one thumb in his butt.
I don't know if that's, maybe that's what made him cry.
I don't know.
That's how I do it.
Oh, right.
No, he's used to that.
And then you carry him around like, because in case one hand slips, you can always hold him with this hand.
Globetrotter style.
I just spin him.
Ooh, you spin him.
Yeah.
I'm getting him young early.
He's been early.
Were you a Hooper?
Mm-hmm.
Because you played in the Comics League.
Yeah, yeah.
A long time ago.
Were you a Hooper when you were a kid?
Yeah.
You were.
Yeah.
And then you gave it up.
I mean, I think we all have.
No, I think you gave it up.
I think you could have been something, bud, and you gave it up.
You think so?
Well, I don't know anymore.
You could have made it to at least the WN thank you for that yeah yeah i think it's competitive
i think i could have been a ladybug version of you know so good rodney dangerfield what a movie
it's a solid what a great reference people that don't know what a movie the ladybugs if you uh
maybe you prefer the she's all that amanda bes version. No, thanks. That's a pass from me.
Okay.
I'll take Ladybugs.
Who was the female star of Ladybugs?
It was a kid that, I don't remember the, yeah.
Who was the boy?
Do you remember the boy?
No, no.
The boy that dressed up like a girl, right?
That was the whole thing?
Yeah, I don't think he went on to do a ton of other movies.
You say that, it's Zach Braff.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, wow.
Robert Downey Jr.
I said Zach Braff
because I just saw his name
on a big poster.
He's redoing,
look at him,
it looks like I'm on the phone,
but I'm not.
I'm looking this up.
Lady Bugs.
What?
Yeah, Lady Bugs.
Roddy Dangerfield.
It's not Anthony Michael Hall
or something like that.
Jonathan Brandis.
Jonathan Brandis was the boy.
He was very famous.
You don't remember this kid?
No.
What else was he in?
You remember him, dude.
He passed away.
Did he really?
Yeah, 2003.
He died.
From?
He died at 27 years old.
I know you think I'm making a joke here, but I'm dead serious.
No, no.
Sometimes I can't tell your dad.
I really can't tell your dad.
Jonathan Brandes.
Yeah, he died. Siri, all facts. Jonathan Brandes. Yeah, he died.
Siri, all facts on Jonathan Brandes.
Download now.
It just said yucky for some reason.
Jonathan Brandes, yucky.
I don't know why it did that.
Maybe his death was...
Let's guess how he died.
I'm going to go with drug overdose.
Yours?
Hooker.
Actor.
Oh, you think a hooker killed him?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Interesting.
Good guess.
He was found...
Oh, no.
Do you want to hear this?
Mm-hmm.
November 11, 2003. Brandes was found hanged no. Do you want to hear this? Mm-hmm. November 11, 2003,
Brandis was found hanged in the hallway
of a Los Angeles apartment.
He hung himself.
Ooh.
Died the following day of injury sustained
from the hanging.
He was 27.
He did not leave a suicide note.
This is way to go, dude.
Way to bring up something so traumatic.
I'm sorry I brought up ladybugs, guys.
Why the fuck did you do that?
I didn't mean to.
I didn't think it would start
with a sour note.
Something tells me that you knew
Dude, scumbag
You did
Yeah, I did
Get ready
You know, the last time
that I did your show
I was in Las Vegas
Yes
Which I'm in right now
I'm in Vegas right now
Oh, no
This weekend, I'm in Las Vegas
Oh, and the shows
have been going amazing
Well, there's only one show
It's tomorrow night, but yeah
No, but it feels like
two shows because you
pack so much punch into it And where am I playing again? The Wind, Las Vegas Oh, show. It's tomorrow night, but yeah. No, but it feels like two shows because you pack so much punch into it.
And where am I playing again?
The Wind, Las Vegas.
Oh, that part you did get right.
Oh, yeah.
Where did we do the interview when we did Vegas?
We did it at the Tropicana in my hotel room.
Because I was playing Jimmy Kimmel's Club.
You guys were at the Laugh Factory?
No, that was a different time.
One of the times I met you there in Vegas,
we were in Vegas a couple times at the same time.
One time you were headlining
the Tropicana
and Sandra was featuring
at the Laugh Factory
and I had a last minute host set
that they asked me to come do.
And then a different time I met up with you
because I was featuring over at the factory
and you were headlining over at Brad Garrett's.
Or Jimmy Kimmel.
No, no, no. Jimmy Kimmel. I never headlinedimmel and brad's a good buddy and i love brad but he
came to see you at the laugh factory shows that's where i got the bread i love him he's he is the
man and i never played his his room i don't know if it's still around but i i hear it's good is it
yeah still i mean it was good i just never got around because every date that they had given me
i was like i'm already booked on something else and brad would call like he would like call and text me last minute be like i did you next week and i was like next how i was like there's
no way he's like gotta do it and i'm like it's impossible i literally can't i'm doing something
i'm sure i'm i'm sure at the time i'm sure i was booked in some whatever room where i was
doing like six or eight show did you ever do do an eight-show weekend? Dude, I did one of those weekends where I did 16 shows.
That's not real.
I did eight days in Vegas once.
They asked me to stay over at the Laugh Factory.
I did an eight-day run.
You did 16 shows.
And for like $147?
You got it, baby.
You better cash those checks.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, seriously, that's insane.
They just asked you to stay because somebody dropped out for the second run?
Yes.
They're like, can you come in a day early because somebody needs to leave soon,
and then we need you to do the full week.
And I was like, yeah, sure.
But like you agreed to it because you need money at the moment,
but eight days doing shows in Vegas is nearly impossible.
No thanks.
Especially, your boy ate the cafeteria food every day.
You ate in the basement.
Oh yeah.
Me and Bobby have talked about this on Bad Friends.
Where the asbestos and everything was.
It's so sad.
That's where Legionnaires came from.
You have to eat in the basement.
The employees eat in the basement, but it's so rude because it's like, this is not a healthy
place.
It's just, it feels so sad there's also
no windows or clocks i got accused every day of being a thief of stealing that's back when i had
long hair and they're like how did you get down here i'm like i'm an employee that's so sad when
you flash that card i know i'm like i'm an employee i stopped eating down there because
the first day we did it and sandra and I was like let's go somewhere else because I just it was it made me so sad
oh no no
I could see how people
get really depressed
very quickly
I'm gonna have a little bit
of this rabbit hole
just to switch up
because I don't want to talk
about how sad Vegas
basements are
so so far
Jeremiah's killing it
with the ladybug references
the suicidal tendencies
in basements in Vegas
should we start this
rabbit hole
I'm having some of this
you don't have any
because you don't drink
and that's fine.
You don't have to.
That's not requirement
of this show,
but I'd love
to break your no drinking.
It's because you just,
you can't.
I never have.
You pour that in slow.
You pour that in like a little.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you feel that?
You've never had a drink
in your entire life.
You've never had an inclination to have a drink never had a drug you've had a cigarette no uh
you kissed a guy no but that's the closest you've never kissed a guy not in the mouth no you've had
anal raw dog okay you got me man you're a bad boy oh I told you I'm the bad boy of the deal. So this sauce never wanted to touch your lips?
I don't know if that's 100% true of the want or the curiosity at some points,
but I know my personality, not a good mix.
You think you'd be an addict?
I think so.
You come from addict tendencies?
Yes, and I do have addict tendencies.
Who's an addict in your family? Can you say all? so you come from addict tendencies yes and i do have addict tendencies you're but i just i was an
addict in your family uh can you say all all of them really i think all of them have different
addictive tendencies and some of them like have had for sure have had issues with alcohol and
stuff like that like i come from that my dad was an addict not yeah it was drugs not alcohol
but i think oh slow down with that water bub
but I think it's something
that yeah you have to choose
I just chose
well your addiction is comedy
and entertainment
yeah and obviously you're addicted
and you're
and it's hurting
you and those around you so you should stop
this is an intervention to get you to around you. So you should stop.
This is an intervention to get you to quit comedy.
We want you to stop.
It's gotten out of control.
Okay, yeah.
Too many posts, too many... It's too many everything.
Too many everything.
It's too much Jeremiah.
I mean, you know, I see the comments.
It's bad.
Wait till they get onto this video.
I think when I saw your first talent, by the way,
when I really saw your talent and your ability,
I'm being genuine,
is during Kill Tony's.
Because I knew you as a comedian,
and I've known you for years,
but when I really saw you do what you did on Kill Tony's,
on the Kill Tony show or on the episodes of Kill Tony,
it was really impressive.
It really was to watch what you guys did.
Yeah, a lot of good times.
It was just cool to watch you guys create fun characters
and to stretch the limits and also to...
You guys kind of didn't back down at all.
You really tried crazy shit.
And it didn't matter if it wasn't really working right away
because sometimes it wouldn't. And you guys would just plow through it and it would work sometimes
uh and this is something that we had to figure out ourselves sometimes we would let tony
completely set us up which was a mistake because like if it's our characters we need to just like
an improv scene you got to establish what you want out of it, right?
Sure.
So sometimes if we let him do it,
just out of like him just observation,
he'd label something that we're like,
no, it's actually this.
And if we didn't set it up,
then it might be the wrong chain of events
for a whole episode.
So we had to figure that out down the road.
Like, yo, we got to come out,
say exactly what we are,
tell the crowd what we are.
So they can start getting on board because if not, then it's a shaky ground.
Did you ever get worried?
Because you seem like a very protective guy.
You're somebody that usually makes sure you're not going to offend.
Do you know what I mean by that?
I don't know.
You don't seem like a I don't seem you don't seem um i don't think i yeah i don't seem like i don't give a
shit guy you seem like a i like to have fun but i definitely don't want someone to be like hey man
that's not okay i don't with me specifically i don't ever try to purposely offend anybody that's
my point yeah you'll go out of your way i don't go out of my way if it happens and it's funny
though i'm like it's funny you don't care yeah that eh, it's funny. You don't care. Yeah, that's how I am. See, from face value,
I always think you're thoughtful about your approach.
You're never,
I never feel like you're shooting from the hip.
And this is not a negative thing,
but I always feel like you're not someone
that's going to get caught up in your own words.
There's not going to be a Jeremiah Watkins N-word video.
No.
And here it is.
God, how great we press play.
Just 20 minutes of you saying the N-word.
Cancel him now. Right now. now now but i just think you're some people are much more delicate in their approach i feel
like some people are flying the plane without instructions and i feel like you're you went to
class and you studied and you're i think you understand what you're doing in comedy and you
want to make sure that you're not um doing something out of
turn so to speak do you know what i mean by this yes and no i i think um i think with kill tony i
think that you i think you're dead on with that specifically with kill tony with my stand-up i'd
probably disagree with you yeah yeah with kill tony because i was the kind of lighter sillier side yeah so i wanted i went
out of my way yeah to kind of make it lighter and stuff like that but with my stand-up i'm a very
shoot from the hip person where sometimes i say stuff where i'm just like maybe it's also then
your look too your face doesn't have like a mean you don't have like a if you said something foul I knew you were I'd
know you're kidding that yeah that does help sometimes looks like a Midwest
Norman Rockwell kid like like like shoot a basketball poorly hold a basketball
poorly yeah look at that that looks like it yeah yeah there it is he's lost three
two shoot it yeah brick underhand yeah, yeah, there it is. He's lost. Three, two, shoot it.
Yeah, brick.
Underhand.
Yeah, see?
Yeah, yeah.
I just think your demeanor, your personality, your style,
all this stuff makes up who we are as comics,
and audience members kind of don't know that sometimes.
But like your stance, your rhythm, all that stuff about you,
if you said something crazy and fucked up,
I just, I know that there's no vitro behind it.
It's kind of a good quality to have.
People.
You got a sweet fucking face, bud.
Oh, thank you.
The kid's got a sweet face.
People like when I have breakdowns on stage, though.
What do you mean?
People like it when you freak out?
Oh, yeah.
Because I have a little bit,
I think that we share this.
I think we've got a little bit of the inner rage at times. I'm a psychopath. I'm for sure. share this I think we've got a little bit of the inner rage I'm a psychopath I'm for sure
I think we've got a little
we share a little bit of that where it's like
it's like below the surface but sometimes
on stage if I'm frustrated with
the response I'm getting or if it's a frustration
with myself I start to fly off the handle
and the audience likes it because
I seem like I'm well put together but then
I'm just I lose it
you explode yeah yeah have you had a moment where it's gone really really bad and you felt bad about
it um you said some shit to somebody no i mean you're like look at this stupid fat bitch and
it just and it all came out no i only this was years ago i made somebody cry at a show on accident
really yeah on accident what'd you do it was a thing
where like somebody yelled something out at a show where it was like it was like 10 people in there
and it was like when i was back doing shows that were mixed with improv teams and stand up at the
same time and like in these little black box theaters and stuff like that african-american
box go ahead yeah um but there's this girl who's like that's a will farrell bit i'm like what are you talking about i'm like what is the bit that you're referring to
she goes i don't know it just sounds like will farrell and i was like i just lost it i was like
you just accused me of stealing a joke and will farrell doesn't even do stand-up what are you
talking about i just went off on her yeah and then she was one of the improvisers on on the
what a fucking idiot i know she's a fucking idiot. I know. She's a fucking idiot. Do you know her name?
No.
Find out her name.
Let's kill her.
Okay.
Find out where this idiot lives.
Yeah, right?
Sounds like a Will Ferrell bit.
I don't like that.
Well, there's a guy at the improv.
It was a week ago.
He was just chumming it up in the front row.
And I tell this joke about Superman being bisexual.
Have you seen me do that? Hmm. You know, they made the next iteration about Superman being bisexual. Have you seen me do that?
Hmm.
You know, they made the next iteration of Superman is bisexual
and I'm not going to do the joke, but I talk about it
and he starts like really getting vocal.
He's like, oh, gross, fucking gross.
And at first I'm thinking he's kind of joking.
But then I turn and I'm like, you have a huge problem
with the next iteration of Superman being bisexual.
It's his son.
You can look it up.
And he was like, yeah, I don't want my kids looking at that shit.
And if everyone, now this isn't what I wanted to have happen, but everyone started booing.
They all collectively started booing that guy?
Well, yeah, it started with a few, you know, and then it turns into, do you know what I mean?
It turns into that weird like what it's
it's like not even audible
at some point
right
and he's like giving the finger
and he's wasted
and his girlfriend
couldn't be more embarrassed
and it was like
when I was a kid
I remember exploding on people
I remember being at the improv
and it being like 14 people
and just lighting up somebody
because they were just being
a fucking asshole.
Yeah.
And I didn't even get satisfaction
even when you would light them up
and everyone would laugh.
You were still at the end,
you felt dirty.
It's almost like coming
where you're,
when it's awesome
and any moment you come,
you're like,
it was sad a little bit.
Like it felt great.
Yeah.
I was sad.
Right at,
I was like immediately the moment after I was sad
and I,
I zapped back to that moment
and,
and I did, I wasn't mean to him at all. I like are you is this fun for you dude right you look this is sad
if you can handle it more in a clever way you always feel better than being like you're a piece
of shit yeah and then you win in a weirder way you know like neil brennan came back and was like
dude the way you handle that was wild he was like it was great because i also had to come up with a
couple of jokes like off the cuff like that like he had said something like yeah dude, the way you handled that was wild. He was like, it was great. Because I also had come up with a couple of jokes like off the cuff like that.
Like he had said something like, yeah, he's like,
you know, Superman being bisexual is blah, blah, blah,
whatever.
And I was like, wait till you find out Batman is trans.
And then I just went on these other rants
about what superheroes he'd be the most mad about
if they found out that they were XYZ.
And it just kind of worked.
In the moment, it worked.
And Neil was like, oh man, that was genuinely
the best version of it. But I was so kind of bummed when I got off stage aboutil was like oh man that was genuinely the best version
of it but i was so kind of bummed when i got off stage about the ending of the set because he
fucked it up yeah that i was mad and he was like no dude it was good i was like no that pissed me
off i'm mad i let him get in a little bit he was like you didn't so it's like i think with age
we've learned over the years to just you you're never going to win by like making them cry,
shitting on them.
You don't win.
You just, you don't win.
You don't feel good at the end of the night, no.
Yeah, you lose.
But it's funny,
but if you can do it clever
and not be like,
fuck you, asshole.
If you can do a clever way
of wrapping them into the jokes,
then I think you take a big W.
Yeah.
It's harder to do.
I had a guy who was so weird.
He came in 20 or 30 minutes into my headlining set over the weekend with his girl.
His girl was there.
And he comes in and sits down.
I go, because sometimes you're like, okay, somebody went to the bathroom in the middle
of bed and they came back and I go, did you just get here?
He goes, yeah. I go,
oh, well let's fight then. And then this dude
looked at me.
He was ready to fight.
I was like, dude, clearly
I'm joking. What are you talking about?
He's like, this is why I show up late. I'm looking for a fucking fight, bud.
Strap up.
It was so, and then this
girl goes on to say, he left i go so i need to
impress you he goes he goes i i'm thinking about getting an uber i go you just got here like so
you're judging me immediately seeing if i need to make you laugh in two to three minutes like
your fares are going up outside as we're talking i like this guy and and he's like yeah man yeah
i go okay well here i'll give you a couple jokes. This dude was laughing at the jokes, and then he ended up leaving.
And then I start talking to this girl, and she goes, yeah, he's so insecure.
He keeps claiming that I'm cheating on him and stuff.
And so he keeps checking on me when I'm out and stuff like that in public.
He wasn't supposed to come.
Oh, this is so weird.
Was she alone?
Yeah.
Well, that is sus.
It was so bizarre. But it's sus for her to be like, I'm going to this comedy show totally by myself. No, she just wanted to get away from? Yeah. Well, that is sus. It was so bizarre.
But it's sus for her to be like, I'm going to this comedy show totally by myself.
No, she just wanted to get away from that guy.
Yeah, that's what it is.
She's running away from this nutbag.
She's running away from him.
And then I go, do you live with this guy?
She goes, yeah, he lives with me.
Like, my name's on the lease.
I go, why are you with this guy?
I don't understand, like, how, like, women will stay with these guys sometimes.
I'm like, I don't get it.
I mean, and guys stay with these women.
This is a two-way street.
People stay with people because they're scared to not be with anybody yeah how
old are you now 33 you're in love you have a baby you're married you're happy if it was ripped away
from you you'd be fucking lost yeah so it's kind of like people get when they get settled into
something that they enjoy even if the person goes nuts or goes crazy or becomes a psycho it's like it's still easier than maybe doing a hard reset yeah like i just watched
the um the bad vegan or whatever did you see this documentary oh my god this is about this woman and
she's like in her in her narrative is held captive by this psycho dude who's not physically abusive
but like emotionally and mentally just like a trap,
you know, like a trickster,
and is stealing money from her.
But you're also like, at so many points,
you're like, lady, get out of there.
What are you doing?
But also there's manipulation that makes people
feel like they're supposed to stay.
It's super fucked up to watch.
From an outside-
Have you ever been in many relationships like that
where you felt like trapped
where you needed to stay
no I mean my college girlfriend
I felt scared to leave her
because she like
threw a knife one time at me
did you catch it
with my teeth
and then I
I cut something up
no she
she was going to move to Los Angeles
with me but I knew
and then you pulled a roof over you
you're like I wish you were my dad.
I wish I had a dad like you.
I wish I had a dad like you.
She was going to move to LA with me, but I knew that was a bad idea.
I was like, you got to let me go to LA alone.
It wasn't right.
I didn't want to move her away from what she knew.
And then in the end, it was the right decision.
But I was, yeah, I was afraid to go to LA alone.
I thought it would be way easier with a partner because i knew nobody out here and then also yeah i was i did still love her
so but i just knew it could this couldn't go on yeah and i was like i'm not we're not going to do
a long distance so i was like you gotta do your thing and i've got to do my thing and fail at
comedy for the first couple of years because Because you do. Those nights that you're drowning,
when you first move here,
you got to do it on your own.
When did you move here from Kansas?
2009.
And you know that the first couple of years here
are probably the hardest years you've ever had.
Oh yeah, for sure.
You don't come from money.
No.
So mom and dad weren't siphoning money
to keep you afloat?
No.
Did you have a shitty day job?
Yeah, I worked at Starbucks the first two and a half years.
Did you?
Yeah, yeah.
Can you make me a mocha frap right now?
Come on, dude.
Let me see the hands.
Let's see if you can do it.
Three, two, one.
I was so bad at it.
Oh, man.

Another scoop.
All right, one more scoop.
What is that?

No, this is the chocolate.
Oh, that's the chocolate?
That's the chocolate.
Did I want chocolate?
It's the mocha.
Let me talk to your manager.
Okay.

like a week my manager be like jeremiah we're missing a hundred free coupons do you know what
happened to him like i don't know i think caleb look at caleb yeah he probably took them yeah i
love the idea of you giving someone a coupon and they're like you know i was gonna kill someone
today and this really you would be surprised what a free drink will do for somebody's day.
Shocks.
Shocks their whole day.
Especially if they're like, hey, man, how much longer?
I go, free coupon for a drink?
And they're like, okay, thank you.
Like, immediately.
That's all they want.
They just want to be acknowledged that you're wrong or whatever.
In here, we pour whiskey.
This episode of Whiskey Ginger is brought to you by Rabbit Hole Distillery
and their one-of-a-kind Kentucky bourbon and rye whiskeys.
This stuff is really good jazz.
Look, I've been drinking this for the past month since they sent it to me.
And what makes them special, in my opinion,
is that a lot of times places say that they're getting small batch.
You hear that a lot, small batch.
That could mean 1,000 barrels.
Who knows?
But Rabbit Hole, that small mean 1,000 barrels. Who knows? But rabbit hole,
that small batch means under 15
barrels, so you know the quality is going to be
there in every single
bottle that they put out.
I really like this. I'm starting to see a lot of people say toasted
as well. Toasted barrels, specialty
releases. All this stuff is rhetoric
to help you buy
and to catch your attention.
But every single one of rabbit hole's expressions is aged and charred
and toasted barrels at a low entry and never chill filtered as it should be.
This stuff is really good.

Well, if airlines... You just want to be like a record. You don't want them to go, this sucks. You're right. You never know you're going to win. You never think you're going to win. Well, if airlines...
You just want to be like wrecking.

You're right.
You know when people tweet at airlines and stuff?
All it would take for them to be like,

A free...
You know what I mean?
They do.
Do they?
Yeah, the airlines.
They'll go, we'll DM you.
And then they DM you like,
we'll give you 10,000 points or miles or whatever.
And then even though it's insignificant,
it doesn't mean anything.
And miles are a scam.
Don't get into miles, by the way.
Do them, use them, but they're a scam.
I had a cousin who got into miles.
Got pretty slippery.
What ended up happening?
Heard of Paul Walker.
I actually left it open for Jonathan Brandes.
I thought you were going to say it was Jonathan.
Another tragedy.
No, it's just like
people just want acknowledgement.
They just want to feel like
they're not alone.
Or that they're just being heard.
Yeah, listen to,
please listen to me.
Right?
That's all it takes.
It's true.
Just give me a little bit of,
a little zhuzh, you know?
I just,
I stayed at this hotel.
I complained because
it was extremely expensive. It was a little at this hotel i complained because it was extremely
expensive it was a little getaway for us and it was not worth the money and they the manager i
didn't make a stink while we were there but when we left he was like how was everything and i was
like i gotta tell you i was bummed about a few things like really bummed and he was like seriously
and he like listened to me and then i thought this isn't gonna change anything i already paid
who gives a fuck it's over but he did hear it and whether or not it it like sunk in or it was just
like in one ear out the other fuck me next you know yeah it still was nice for him to be like
I'm sorry man that this is that's not okay I'll try to address those things it made me go all right
man all right all right yeah I didn't burn it to the ground I was going to light the whole room on
fire that makes sense I I stayed at a place with my wife uh a couple weekends ago it was kind of like a
weekend getaway thing for like a night and uh we opened the blinds and dirty panties fell out of
the blinds and we're like i knew i left 130 I knew. Dude, I was searching for hours where are my dirty bannies?
Yeah.
Wait, they fell out of the blinds?
Dude.
What color?
They were like these
like purplish burgundy.
Don't pretend like you didn't look.
And they were soiled.
Were they?
They were women.
This girl nutted in them.
Really?
Yeah.
You picked them up?
You investigated?
No.
Wifey, we got a problem here.
No, I took a problem here.
No, I took a picture and I go, I hate to be this guy, but there's dirty panties on the floor of the room that we just checked into.
And they were like, oh my, I'm so sorry.
What do you imagine happened?
I think that a guy and a girl got hot and heavy.
They went up against the window.
He quickly took her freaking panties off. Okay.
Threw them in the blinds.
Okay.
Freaking,
just went for it,
uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and then he just
stuffed them back in the blinds,
right?
Stuff them in the blinds.
What a weird thing
to stuff them in the blinds.
Right?
That's where I'm lost.
Yeah.
They get thrown on the floor,
they get thrown on a lampshade
like in a movie.
Who's taking them off
and is like,
right in the blinds?
Yeah, just get in there.
Ooh, stuff them in the blinds.
Oh, crap, I'm forget about it.
Maybe that's a thing.
They like to hide their underwear. Maybe that's a thing. They like to hide their underwear.
Maybe that's their thing.
That's their kink.
That's their fetish.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
I always leave a used condom inside the Bible,
you know, the Gideon's Bible, next to the bed.
Oh, yeah.
I always do that.
I use a condom.
In the beginning.
Yeah.
What's your dirty hotel secret?
Everybody has one.
What do you do in the hotel that you shouldn't do
it's not
I jerk off too much
you jerk off the whole time in the hotel a lot
you use the towels or what do you do it
I use a Kleenex
you do
you use a Kleenex
so weird
you don't use a towel they're right there
I'm too shamed.
I see the towel later in the weekend.
I'm like, I came in that thing.
I'd rather come and Kleenex flush it and then forget about my guilt.
Your little dirty secret.
Because, okay, do you ever pull too many Kleenexes and you see that there's an old color that's underneath the Kleenexes?
Well, that means it's about to run out.
Right.
Yeah.
It's every week.
So you get rid of all the Kleenex?
You go through a box of Kleenex every time you're on the road?
I go through all the white Kleenex in the box,
and then there's just the pink and brown Kleenexes left.
That's you.
That's how old they are.
That's you.
Because what they do is they stack new ones
on top of this old layer from the
80s. But I always get down to the layer
from the 80s. Holy shit, Jeremiah.
What about toilet paper?
No. Why Kleenex?
Because toilet paper sticks
to you as soon as you
in it. But you're going to get in the shower anyway.
Mm-mm.
You come and go. like the gas station.
Or you go to bed.
Yeah.
It's like how I wind down.
Do you jerk off before a show?
Never.
Really?
Never, ever, ever, ever.
Why?
You're afraid you get too tired on stage?
I'm like Muhammad Ali.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you got to wait until the fight's over.
That's interesting.
I never come.
I literally, I won't have sex with my wife before shows.
Really? Nope. Wow. I don't like it.
Well, she doesn't like it either,
but she's doing it, so, you know, tip of the cap
to the old wife. Yeah.
She gets it.
She gets it. I mean, she...
Over the years. Yeah, she gets it over the years.
And then she gets it later, you know what I'm saying?
From who? From another guy?
Yeah, man. I'm a cuck.
You like to watch? Yeah, Big Black Guys black guys big black guys you're a watcher yeah yeah i'm a watcher i'm like a bird
watcher i'm a bird watcher i'm a bird watcher watching birds fuck my wife watching them all
did you imagine that is such a concept that I can't wrap my head around.
If you have an open relationship and you want your significant other to have fun, fine.
But to watch it blows my mind. I will never understand that.
Why do you want to see it?
Well, obviously you have a thing where you like men more than you think you do.
I think it's masochistic.
I think people like the pain.
You think it's the power?
No, I think they like the pain.
I think they like the... You know like when somebody cuts themselves or
when someone like i think when you sit in a depressive state and it almost feels good because
it's so sad you know when you listen to sad music when you're in a bad place and it like kind of
like ruminates this fucking self-torture i think people that are cucks it's a chemical thing where the this like this dark deep sad hurtful thing they they kind of just love it
like it's sick and they love it do you have a sad sound soundtrack that you listen to
when i'm in a really sad place which is ironic because even when i'm not in a sad place i like
the music but i always listen to classical classical music um ludovicio Einaudi is like one of my favorite composers.
Fabrizio Polazzi, I think is his other.
I listen to like really old school classical.
Strings and.
Piano.
Oh, piano.
And it's so miserably sad and fuck, I love it.
I love it.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
I just, it's just so deep deep a piano is such a sad instrument
for some reason it can be yeah i cannot it doesn't have to be but for me it always was
the depth of those of the chords always seemed just sad yeah when when played in this fashion
sure you know i'm sure that's great. But for some reason,
piano slowly always has this sombering thing for me.
What's your sad music?
Have you seen the Batman?
There's something in the way.
No,
but Mad World is one of them.
That song is so fucking...
It's...
Mad World.
All around me are familiar faces.
Worn out places.
Worn out places.
Dude, it is so hurtful.
That song...
Also, I do like...
There are songs that, you know, Golden Brown.
Golden Brown, texture
like sun, lays
me down. In my mind
she runs throughout
the night. No need
to fight. Never
a frown with Golden
Brown. Dude, that song
is, and I wish we could play it, but we'll get to it.
There's some Simon and Garfunkel.
I mean, the Lighty Dies.
Lighty Die.
Yeah.
That's gunshots.
100%.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just a car door slamming.
He's like.
Yeah, that kind of stuff.
Or like really old slow music.
You know William Bell?
Do you know that?
I forgot to be your lover. Like, yeah. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Or like really old slow music. You know William Bell? Do you know that? Mm-mm.
I forgot to be your lover.
Like, yeah, there's so much sad music,
but for some reason,
that old classical shit,
I'll send you off with some when you leave.
Okay.
Oh, dude.
If it's a long ride home somewhere,
like, I don't know where we were driving from,
me and Chris O'Connor, the guy that comes with me on the road, I don't know where we where we were driving from me and uh chris o'connor the guy that comes
with me on the road i we i don't know where we were driving cleveland to to pit maybe or something
like that yes decent drive it was like one of those midwest runs you know and in the beginning
we had on like talking heads and i was and then later i was just jamming to really sad shit.
And just the humming of the wheels and the nothingness of the road.
It just caves in on your brain.
You're like, what am I doing with my life?
Is this worth it?
Yeah.
It is, though.
Because, look, you could be back at Starbucks making a double mocha frappuccino.
Oh, dude.
I'm always so freaking grateful to be doing comedy full-time.
Two years at Starbucks and then what?
Did you ever work another shitty day job?
No, I got very fortunate.
You hit the lottery.
Booked a national commercial.
That was the lottery back then.
That's what I mean.
You hit the lottery, yeah.
Yeah.
What was the natty for?
Chevy Volt.
Huge.
Those things back in the day paid for you know a couple years right
paid a year of my bills straight that's awesome so and people kept asking me they're like so what
do you spend your money on i go rent and food because i'm going to do comedy i'm not gonna
people kept like you're gonna buy a car you're gonna buy this i'm like no i'm gonna use that
that's gonna be literally my deposit on my new life. My new life.
Yeah.
And then you slowly built after that and got and got and got.
You know what I mean?
Like enough, I was able to get little gigs here and there, acting stuff, comedy stuff
here and there where like I could keep sustaining.
Obviously, some years are harder than others as it always is.
But like, I haven't had a day job since the beginning of 2012.
Look at this guy.
Yeah.
Good for you.
Yeah, dude. Good for you. Yeah, dude.
Good for you, dude.
That's, I mean, one thing really does crack it sometimes.
I remember when I got to quit my day job forever,
and that's like the moment is cool.
Because I booked a National.
I booked a Mike's Hard Lemonade commercial.
But it wasn't enough money back then.
I don't think it was enough to sustain.
And it was, it wasn't, it didn't run.
Although they ran it all the fucking time,
but they made it seem like they weren't going to run it.
Like I would get phone calls,
be like,
you're on ESPN.
Because it was for NASCAR season,
like the height of NASCAR season,
which is all the time.
I did a coffee bean commercial that was,
I literally got paid like 500 bucks for it.
It was like a non-union thing.
And it played on Hulu non-stop and i had almost
got more eyes on that than see we should be able to fucking sue for that for back back back wages
you know i think that's called reparations i think that's not for us oh i looked into it oh you did
white reparations yeah white repar reparations. And the first response
was, what's up?
Are you kidding me?
Google just responds,
did you mean
to type this at all?
Did you mean
to close your laptop
and throw it out
the window immediately?
Yeah.
We do deserve,
whites do deserve reparations.
You know,
Jeremiah's been saying that
for a long, long time.
I've been saying,
yeah, that's been my campaign.
White reps,
white reparations.
What do you got there?
I got a little gift for you.
Can I see this beautiful piece of artwork that you've got?
I saw it a little bit in the hallway, but I...
Oh, my God.
Look at how cool this is.
It's pretty dope.
Wow, this is so sick for our friends at home,
so you can see.
Yeah.
This is a Scissor Bros Bad Friends collab.
I don't know if I should do it at this camera or the other one.
A Scissor Bros Bad Friends collab.
Who is this drawn by? Joel Stokes. the other one. Scissor Bros Bad Friends Collab. Who is this drawn by?
Joel Stokes.
He does art for Scissor Bros every week.
And when we were doing the Bad Friends and Scissor Bros crossover stuff,
when we had Rudy on the show and Doc on the show.
So cool, dude.
We did an X-Men themed.
So you're Sabretooth.
And I think Bobby's the blob.
He's the blob for sure.
But the muscly blob.
Also, by the way i
want to point out you guys andre's rudy doc are on our show and yet you've painted them as your team
yeah it's because we took them for a little while no they're ours well we took them we rented them
you know i don't like this imagine i rip it right in half. Oh, man. Tino? Come on, man.
What are you doing, man?

Damn, man.
This dude, he opened for me, or hosted
down in, thank you for that. This is really sweet.
It's going to go right in the trash.
He hosted down in Irvine
and did
really great, actually. And I was worried because
when I took him down to San Diego, I was like, Doc, do like
10 to 12 minutes. Because we had other people
on the show. And he did like 27 minutes.
Man, you know how to see the light, Tino?
And at a theater show, the stage,
the clock is right at your feet. Literally at your feet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's unmistakable.
It's where your toes are is a huge
fucking digital clock it says right
on it i thought it was 27 o'clock man come on tino didn't mean that man but we laughed we let him go
but you know i was just like doc don't let's not do a repeat let's not do that again can i tell
you something don nervine all four shows boom boom boom boom boom he did 10 minutes and a half
10 and a half minutes on the nose he's a a crusher. Yeah, he did a great job.
I was really proud of him.
Yeah.
I was really proud.
I was like,
because also he's an experienced comic,
but he was super professional
and I'll never work with him again,
but it was fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's not worth it.
I'll never see him ever again on the stage,
but good guy.
He's doing shows with me next weekend, so.
You've taken another one terrible another one some would say you and steve are the gay me and bobby what do you respond to that

yeah.
I've had to,
yeah,
we've had to do
a couple things
that like,
the most uncomfortable
thing that I did,
I lost one of our challenges.
We were playing Jenga
and Steve came up
with this game
called Toe Jenga
where the loser
had to suck
on the winner's toe.
No thanks,
big pass.
Dude,
I freaking lost somehow.
You sucked on Stevie's toe?
Yeah.
No fucking,
did you go get tested?
I literally,
it was the hardest,
one of the hardest
I've gagged in my entire life.
I've never even put
my wife's foot in my mouth.
I'm not a,
I hate feet.
It's a thing.
Oh, you're one of those guys.
I hate feet.
And he didn't know this about me.
I'm like,
I don't know if I can do this.
And he goes,
he goes,
you got to man,
you got to.
And then I, like I did, I just if I can do this. And he goes, you got to, man. You just got to. And then I did it.
I was dry.
It was horrible.
By the way, you've never put your wife's foot in your mouth?
Do it.
Try it once.
Really?
I bet your wife has nice feet.
She does have nice feet.
I'm sure she has clean feet.
Freaking nicer than Steve's.
Dude, suck on a toe, bud.
Yeah?
You been there?
Oh, yeah.
You popped a toe in?
I'll suck on a couple of little piggies.
Yeah, a little cuticle.
This one went to the market.
Yeah?
This one went to Gelson's.
This one went to John's, not Vaughn's, because it's on a budget.
One of them's on a budget.
In here, we pour whiskey.
Hey, when that moment for intimacy arrives,
sometimes the blood flow is not what it used to be, okay?
The pipes are a little clogged as you get older.
And I got to tell you something. Even though people get weirded out about it, ED is not that big used to be, okay? The pipes are a little clogged as you get older. And I got to tell you something,
even though people get weirded out about it,
ED is not that big of a deal.
It happens to millions upon millions upon millions of men.
All right?
It's not that big of a deal.
The truth is 52% of guys age 40 to 70
experience some form of erectile dysfunction.
Ding dong.
Hello, who's there?
You're not alone.
It's a whole party of people that are just like you.
So do not fret, okay?

Hey, if you're building a website, you're selling something,
you're producing, you want to put out your words on the internet.
I've talked about Squarespace for the last couple of years,
and I've got to tell you, I believe in them, I use them,
I promote them because I dig them.
I think what Squarespace does is pretty impressive. They really have tried to change their focus to help entertainers,
performers, artists, people that are pushing out content. I think it's pretty incredible.
They got appointment scheduling. They got video studio, email campaigns that help you organize.
They can connect all your social media accounts. and the analytics is probably the best thing for us i love the analytics to find out where the
people are coming from on the internet and you can use insights to grow your business learn where
your site visits and sales are coming from to analyze which channels are most effective
improve your website and build a marketing strategy based on your top keywords and popular
products and content but this helps us do is find out where the fans at. Where the fans at? We want to know. They have all this great stuff for you and much, much more. And the best
part about it is, look, you can do it all by yourself if you fashion yourself a fancy web
designer. But my favorite thing is that they help you. Squarespace provides beautiful templates for
you and they let you know how you can do this with their help. They've got 24-7 award-winning customer support.

Where do you get your groceries from?
Mainly between Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and Amazon Prime.
M Prime is the, so Whole Foods.
Because Amazon Prime is Whole Foods.
Is it?
Yeah.
Interesting.
I mean, Amazon and Whole Foods are one.
They own them now.
Yeah.
You know who stocks those?
Who?
Doc.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, no, I'll be stocking that grocery.
I do your groceries, Tino.
That's literally what he does.
I do the Whole Foods.
They moving me over to Whole Foods, but you know, we'll see.
Because he works for Amazon. So Amazon has a stock room, but they also now are sourcing from Whole Foods. They moving me over to Whole Foods, but you know, we'll see. Because he works for Amazon.
So Amazon has a stock room,
but they also now
are sourcing from Whole Foods.
But that's a good answer.
TJ's was number one for you.
Respect on TJ's.
Oh, sprouts sometimes.
I do not fuck with sprouts.
They have home run pizza.
Home run?
They do?
Yes.
Home run pizza?
I did a sprouts
right after the show.
Dude, it's literally
the best frozen pizza
that I've found.
What's your Midwest fat food
that you miss?
Ooh.
You were never a fat kid.
Just barbecue.
Just barbecue.
Yeah, KC barbecue.
I always get Joe's when I go back there.
You like Oklahoma Joe's?
That's my favorite.
That's interesting.
I'm a Gates guy.
Gates is good, but I like Joe's way more.
There's less black people at Joe's.
I get what you're saying.
Jeremiah is an outright racist,
and it doesn't matter what color of brown his shoes or sweater are.
We know how he feels about people with melanin.
Oklahoma Joe's is good.
Gates is always better to me because I like the white bread shit.
I like the old school Wonder Bread.
I like that too, but yeah.
I mean, we're talking ribs and stuff too?
I'm not a big rib guy, dude.
Oh, okay. Well, this is where we... I know. See, ribs are fine. I know people and stuff too? I'm not a big rib guy, dude. Oh, okay.
Well, this is where we...
I know.
See, ribs are fine.
I know people love them, but I like brisket.
I like burnt ends.
Have you had the Z-Man sandwich at Joe's?
I don't know.
I mean, I have enough Kansas friends where over the years they fed me all the shit that
I'm supposed to eat.
Well, I know.
You introduced me to Travis Kelsey.
I did.
It was a nice...
Did I introduce you to Pat?
He was still watching the
show so uh yeah you introduced me to kelsey i got very very nice that's just a complete
coincidence by the way because i went to college with a bunch of kansas city dudes
and literally like five of my good friends are from kc yeah uh and then when i went to california
at least none of them really came a lot of of them stayed in Arizona or they moved back.
I just saw them when I was back in KC. And then I became friends with Travis through something
organically. We were going to work together, but it just so happened that it was KC. It was just
kind of a coincidence that he plays for Kansas City, some of my closest best friends. You know
what I mean? It was just this weird, it was just like pure luck. And then, you know, meeting Pat and him through that crew.
They're good dudes, man.
You got a great football team too.
Jealous.
Yeah, they're going to be good for a while.
It's going to be fun.
They are going to be good for a fucking long time.
Yeah.
That's so annoying.
It's annoying to me.
Not at all for me.
Yeah, it's good for you.
We grew up with being very cursed.
Not that bad.
We had some field goal cursed years for a class.
Sure, but I mean, you know, also the Royals have always had an up and down, up and down.
They've mainly been down.
You got a World Series under your belt, don't you?
Well, we've got a couple now.
But the last one was 85 before.
So what?
I mean.
Who the fuck are you talking to?
I'm a Cubs fan, dude.
Yeah, copy this, copy that.
Excuse me?
Yeah.
Excuse me?
Yeah, I said it.
Excuse me?
Yeah, copy that, my cub me? What does that mean?
What does that even mean?
Wrigley.
George Brett's a piece of shit.
You take that back.
George Brett sexually assaulted my little brother.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yes, he did.
Sammy Sosa?
He also assaulted my little brother.
Okay.
Good.
When Sammy said baseball had been betty, betty good to me, baseball is my little brother. Okay. Good. When Sammy said,
baseball been very, very good to me,
baseball is my little brother's nickname.
No.
Yeah.
He's like,
baseball been very, very good to me.
It was threatening our family.
Wait, was your brother Sammy's pinch hitter?
You know what I'm saying?
He always let him play with his ball bag,
I'll tell you that.
He got in his dugout?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
It was a home run every time three two full count
baseball talk someone at home is like i get none of these jokes and that's okay
yeah you're not gonna get all of them audience you're gonna get 76 to 79 percent of them
and you can know you can do that tallying right now if you feel like it.
What did you get?
Imagine a kid at home did...
Comment below.
He's like 86%, 87% actually.
It's pretty fucking close.
I do want to...
Pick a bone.
Bone a pick.
Let's do it.
I do want your kid.
So, I don't know what we're going to do to get this done,
but I do have to have the kid.
I know we did a bit on the show,
but since you haven't paid,
you haven't paid me in a while.
Can you, like, maybe take him on,
like, I know we're both on the road,
so obviously weekends is not ideal for you.
No, I'd love to have him on the weekends.
You'd love to have him on the weekends?
He fits in a bag, right?
In a luggage bag.
You got to check him.
No, no, no.
I'll put him under my seat.
Yeah?
Like a laptop?
First class, baby.
Yeah, he'll sneak under there.
Like my dog.
There's more room up there, isn't there?
My dog and him.
Okay.
Have you flown first class before?
Only on accident.
What do you mean?
They upgraded you
yeah yeah i mean i've there's been a handful of flights that uh i want to say one time you
the best treatment i've ever had by the way hbo crashing when we did crashing they did first
class first round trip to new york yeah that was a that's a great first class trip was it the lay
downs where they go all the way down or no? Yeah. The lay flats, I mean.
Yeah, it was awesome.
That's hot, isn't it?
Yeah.
So I've only, yeah, only a couple of times first class.
That's pretty fancy.
But every once in a while I'll get those free upgrades just because I'm flying all the time now where I'll get like, you know, that extended or I'll get that exit.
And then I'm like, oh, exit for me.
That's all I want.
For me, that was it for a long time.
I would beg for exit.
Oh, I love them. When we have, if you got long, that was it for a long time. I would beg for exit. Oh, I love them.
When we have a few got long legs, man.
I love exit.
It's a nightmare.
Yeah.
Sitting in regular seats stinks.
It's so hard over the years.
You just get, you're like in pain for half of the flight.
And then you stand up a lot.
You stand up a lot.
No, I burrow and then I sleep the whole time.
You're able to do that?
Yeah.
But then my back is sometimes messed up later because I wake up and I'm like,
What was that?
That's how you wake up?
Yeah.
Real stiff-like, you know what I mean?
Because it's like praying mantis legs inside of a...
It's so uncomfortable.
Yeah.
And you, Mo?
I mean, that's what I consider the job part.
That is the job.
Getting to rip and do stand-up.
That's the fun part. Yeah, the job the job part getting to rip and do stand up that's the fun part the job is traveling
getting to the hotels

You guys were trying to feed me Red Bull when I did your show, and I can't have Red Bull.

Bad for my ticker.
Do you have a bad heart?
That's a deep question.
No, I have
a murmur.
What was that? I have a hole in my heart.

one of the active ingredients
of Red Bull

even a little bit
after you drank it
on scissor bros?
no it was such a small amount
yeah it was a small amount.
Yeah.
No,
but if I drank a full can,
yeah,
which is weird because I could drink coffee.
No problem.

Energy drinks are just different.

And I love them.

That's your Santa Claus, baby. That's my Santa Claus.
And you got to believe.
You have to believe in him.
I feel like you believed in Santa Claus for a long time.
Too long.
Did you?
Mm-hmm.
What are we talking?
How old were you when you realized?
13.
Well, here's the thing.
My mom would do this thing for years where she's like,
you're not going to get any presents unless you believe in Santa Claus.
But you're not an only child.
No, I've got an older brother and younger sister.
So you still were tricked even with siblings around that had your older brother?
We all played into it.
We all played into it.
But the older brother, did he ruin it for you?
No, I mean, it was one of the-
Was he like J-Dog?
No, it was people at school that were like,
Santa's not real.
I'm like, yeah, he is. And they're like, dude, you're a freshman. I were like, they were like, Santa's not real. I'm like, yeah, he is.
And they're like, dude, you're a freshman.
I'm like, he's real, guys.
He's real to me, okay?
When, did your brother ruin stuff for you like that
when you were a kid?
Like, did he do the sex talk
that you had from your brother?
No, I didn't get the sex talk.
Did your brother ever tell you about girls
or anything like that?
Or was that not his thing?
No,
he had a lot of girlfriend.
I would like observe him,
like,
but we never like talked about it.
Like we,
we,
we talked years later,
like after the fact,
like,
but yeah,
we,
I would see him with girls,
but I didn't know that he was having sex with them.
How old were you?
How was the age difference?
He's three years older.
So that's your freshman.
He's a senior.
Yeah.
Cool older brother. Yeah. You walk into high school. He had a lot of girlfriends. I didn't you're a freshman, he's a senior, cool little brother.
Yeah.
You walk into high school.
So he had a lot of girlfriends.
I didn't know he was
having sex with them,
but he was, yeah.
How,
was he like,
kind of like a,
He always had an easy time
with girls.
And you didn't?
No.
Like,
when did you get a girlfriend?
I,
well,
it wasn't that I had
a bad time.
It's like,
I was so,
like,
blinders on always that I, it just wasn't just wasn't like a thing where I was like,
I got to get a girlfriend.
What do you mean blinders on?
With, I've always had blinders.
You're really religious?
No, not blinders with religion,
blinders with whatever my passion was at the time.
If I had blinders on, like when I was playing sports,
I was a thousand percent
into sports. When I started doing like filmmaking and broadcasting and editing and all that stuff,
blinders on with that. And then when I moved to LA, I was blinders on with improv, but I met my
wife doing improv and that's kind of a weird loophole that happened. So your blinders led
you to the place that you needed to be? Yeah. So you heard that here happened. So your blinders led you to the place you needed to be.
Yeah.
So you heard that here, kids.
Put blinders on.
You don't need to focus on anything
except the things that you love
and the thing that you need will come along with it.
Yeah.
We'll be right back.
All right.
We're not going anywhere.
Okay, perfect.
When you think about that, that's probably the truth.
You hear that phrase a lot when you're a kid.
I always hate it when someone's like,
don't focus on the money
and you're like shut the fuck up I can't pay rent this month
I always hated to hear that stuff
when someone says that
but there's a level of truth to it for sure
but it's hard to see that truth
when you're working multiple jobs
you're strung out
and you can't rub two nickels together
the amount of times I've heard
enjoy the process or you know that that whole thing yes you're supposed to we're all supposed to it's a
very hard thing to do while you're in it really struggling where you're like i don't know if i'm
going to be able to pay my bills this process is killing me right now yeah but i mean if you if you
stay like i don't know.
I think if you really are legit about it
and stay true to yourself
and do that,
it will eventually happen.
I think it happens.
Obviously, for everybody,
it has their own path
and their track, but...
What about Jonathan Brandes?
Keep bringing that guy up, huh?
Should have never brought up
the freaking Ladybug guy.
That was you, dude. That was all me. It was you. You're a Ladybug guy. Yeah, Ladybug? Should have never brought up the freaking Ladybug. That was you, dude.

And then I brought up Paul Walker for no reason.
Two for two on the bad news bears over there.
Yeah, too fast.
Sorry.
I'm taking a moment of silence for Paul Walker.
That was the first celebrity that died that I was bummed,
actually bummed about when people were making jokes on Twitter.

Because you golf a lot.
Yeah, but I put on...
I should have stock and sun bum.
But, you know, I haven't lived in Midwest winter weather for 19 years.
I still crack and bleed in the winter.
Well, my knuckles crack because they get dry
when I play sports all winter.
Like if I play golf and basketball.
So they do.
Yeah, I do, but I have to put on extra lotion.
You lotion your whole body when you get out of the shower?

We're going to have bad skin when we're older.
But for now, you're fine.

Yeah.
But the wrinkles will catch up.

don't want to fuck it up but you know what it's fine you do whatever you want to do but i think
getting older in the face is okay. I don't know.
I always think that women end up looking very strange after they get work done.
If you get too much,
it does look weird.
A little bit is usually unnoticeable.
When women that you don't know,
like they're like older celebrities.
Yeah.
They had good light work done.
Yeah.
And then you never know.
And you're like,
Oh,
she just looks great.
And you're like,
well,
you fucking,
she definitely had something done.
She's 68 years old.
She has no wrinkles.
But it is interesting when they go down that path, when you're like, oh, she just looks great. And you're like, well, she definitely had something done. She's 68 years old. She has no wrinkles. But it is interesting when they go down that path,
when you're like, oh, no, they went astray.
You can tell right away when it's like...
People got bummed when Renee Zellweger,
when she got plastic surgery.
It just didn't look like her, and her face is so distinct.
If you don't really have a distinct face,
I think you can get away with it.
She looks like a different person
than the different Bridget Jones.
I walked in on my wife watching a bridget jones like one of the
second or third ones or whatever yeah and i was like is that her is that the same it's completely
different i know so this is our plea renee zell wedger wedger her name is as odd as her look was too she just looked so like
she kind of looked like she she looked like someone who did have work done but didn't
get it yeah not yet and then she got the work done you're like oh that's what it looks like
it looked like they prepped her to get work done it never happened like you know they started
construction but they know you know but people were late on the payment so they just like that
she's still like on the preheat of the oven?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I don't know what that is with my dog
when we preheat the oven.
I think everything low to the ground that ticks,
she doesn't like.
She was a bomb rescue dog in her previous life.
So any kind of ticking,
anything like tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
like rhythmic like that,
like the oven when it's heating up,
it does that
and she fucking freaks out
she not like hip hop
she doesn't like black people
we took her to the
she's black
relax
we took her to the vet today
and they clipped her fucking nails
and boy do I want to call out the vet
they fucking cut her
made her bleed
yeah dude
yeah
I was like what
they did that to my wiener dog in Kansas
where they draw blood
and you're like, what are
you doing?
But also, we've clipped her nails before at the house, and we've never done that.
You have to go really low.
I know.
I was pissed.
All it is is them going too fast.
Yeah, they don't give a shit.
Yeah, they're not caring about their dog.
But I was bummed out, dude, because she was bleeding, and she could tell she was in pain.
Well, they were in pain for a while afterwards.
Yeah, she was in pain.
You could tell.
And she was licking it a lot, and then I gave her a bath uh so it would like soothe her paw you know and dude she could i
could still tell so it made me mad so then we called and we were like hey you fucking made her
bleed it was a lot like it was a lot yeah and then oh um do you think she needs stitches you
bring her back immediately we're so sorry to leave her in that condition blah blah blah
but i was like,
isn't this the place of all places
where they have to have
like the utmost care?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Of all the fucking places.
Isn't that the spot
where they're like the most
overt,
careful with animals?
I think, but
I had a lot of turtles, you know.
Turtles aren't real.
Okay.
Describe the ninja turtles then.
Those weren't turtles Yeah they were
They were ninja turtles
There's a different breed
Yeah yeah yeah
They grew from ooze
Into the ninja turtles
Dog
Ninja turtle is a different breed of turtle
It's not the same thing
It's the same as a turtle
No it's not
Yeah it is
No it is not
Is a goldfish the same as a fish?
Yeah
No it's gold
I think your logic is slightly
skewed here friend you questioning my logic on my own show yeah i am you're fucking pushing it buddy
i think you and i are probably we are kindred spirits because you and i are the only ones who
work with the lee brothers that's true true. In a very, very intimate
close way. Yeah. Drives me
nuts. Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay, what's a thing that drives you
nuts and then I'll give you a thing that drives
me nuts.
Well, not anymore, to be honest with you.
But Bobby used to be late
every fucking time we
podcasted.
That's a hard one.
Every time without fail.
So then we would tell him
the wrong time
then Fancy got smart
and he would
he'd be like
I'm at
Sabotage
and you know
we knew he'd come at 8
and we'd start at 8.
Yeah.
We used to do
super late night shoots.
When we first started the show
we would do super late.
Sometimes we'd be like
11 or midnight.
That's how we started off
with Scissor Bros.
Same thing? Because Steve's sleep schedule is a real thing well that was bobby's
too yeah bobby should sleep until four or five so we couldn't record before then yeah so okay
that's my gripe was he used to be late not anymore which i love him he's on time now what's yours
i love you steve if you're watching he's not he's probably not. He does this thing where I'll tell him something.
I'll be like, hey man,
we need to record tomorrow at two o'clock
because I have to go out of town earlier this week
for a standup weekend.
Sure.
And he goes, well, you didn't tell me that.
I go, I'm telling you right now
I think you did this on the show
right now
something happened
he literally did it on the show with you as well
he does this though
almost every single week
he goes
you didn't tell me that
I go
Steve
I'm telling you right now
when would he prefer you tell him do you think
you think he wants to know via email in advance
oh no no no, no.
Our communication has to be
really good or we start
butting heads a little bit. Would you argue?
Just more like
I think he doesn't
want to be left out of the loop.
I feel like he's not being
told everything. You know what I mean?
You can't tell him everything.
Because if you tell him everything, the world is too big for him he's like kimmy schmidt a little bit you think so a little bit i don't know i think he i think he would prefer to know
i think he would prefer to just know and then be like okay thank you for telling me that and he'll go oh oh oh oh okay yeah that no that's cool man i like that yeah and then the other thing
about uh the booger is um he he he projects like crazy like he'll say something as if it's me that
does it when it's in actuality it's When it's in actuality, it's exclusively him.
We did this episode about having a God complex.
And he was like, you have it.
I'm like, nobody on earth has as much of a complex as he does.
As you, yeah, yeah.
It's unreal.
The way he bosses them around.
And it's endearing for the fans.
They think it's cute.
But I know the reality.
Yeah.
That he really does get upset and bosses people around. But it's like he does in a loving way so no one ever gets mad at him but if
i did it he'd be like fucking santino's an asshole right right oh my god yeah yeah people get so
angry there's like um with tripod sometimes like you know we're setting up shoots and stuff like
this and i'll ask him like hey we break down the tripod and he doesn't do this anymore because
we this would be something that would i'm like i can't i can't do it like he doesn't do this anymore because we this would be something that
would i'm like i can't i can't do it like you got to do this on your own you start taking down the
tripod and then he kept looking over and go like this i'm like steve it's a tripod you got this
brother and he goes okay two seconds later like this which is him saying will you do it right yeah that's him going
and i'm like please and then like we're good we're good on it now but like like and and i would say
like when when we got past i'm like see you're tearing down tripods now it's like all right dude
all right that is but you do gotta you talk to him like a kid a little bit because maybe
he likes it a little bit what you think he likes being talked to like a kid a little bit
really yeah when you're like come on buddy and he's like man
in my head i feel like he's um
I feel like he's,
um,
yeah,
like you have to think about it.
Yeah.
It's hard to explain with Steve.
He's like,
um,
he's a little enigma.
I don't know what it is.
It's like,
uh, he is,
I can undoubtedly say he's one of the coolest,
most unique people I've met in my entire life.
Yeah.
Especially like of like working closely. I've met in my entire life. Yeah. Especially of working closely.
I've never worked with anybody like Steve before.
And you never will.
This will be the last time.
He's a unicorn.
I'm shutting down the show.
Today on Whiskey Ginger, this will be the final episode this week of Scissor Bros.
It will no longer exist as we are taking over, and we're shutting it down permanently.
Are we calling it good friends
now oh you're gonna call it no friends because it's gonna be over my friend no friends it's
gonna be you in one room by yourself and steven another room by himself and you'll just be doing
and you'll be simultaneously broadcasting but neither of you will know what the other one is
talking about actually a great show idea to see if you could communicate.
What a nightmare for editing.
But to see if you could communicate a show without seeing what each other is doing.
Like you time it, you do an hour, he does an hour in a room and see if you could cut it together.
Oh, wow.
That would be hard.
Well, we did one time because we lost, the camera went out without us noticing.
We did a recreation where we had the audio still,
but then what we did was we filmed Steve at his apartment,
and I sent him the audio, and he did a bad dub
while I was on the other side of the screen,
and he was at his apartment.
That's pretty cool.
It was fun.
Did it look good?
He was good.
He was really good.
I gave him a note on like, I'm like,
just wait a second on this one.
Just a little bit.
And then he freaking nailed it.
How long did the camera go out for?
It was at least five minutes.
It was a long,
it was a long thing.
I've had multiple of the cameras go out or the zoom back in the day would fail.
Yeah.
And then someone would be like,
oh,
guess you don't want to put out our episode.
And I'm like, no, I'm embarrassed
because the fucking card failed.
And I used to shoot it on one camera.
The Zoom would fuck up.
That happened all the time.
I've only had to do one call ever
where I lost everything.
And that was, I felt the worst.
It's happened to me three times,
two or three times.
And it was a bummer because you're like,
well, they're not going to believe me.
I know.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
The camera failed?
And you're like, I definitely hit it.
Do you know what I mean?
But you're like, I don't.
That's how I find out about tonight.
We leave, I look.
Well, tonight did not happen.
None of this stuff.
Nothing recorded, yeah.
It's just for me because I wanted to rip you away
from your family late at night.
I was like, how could I get this guy away
from his young child? Yeah, of course. and i feel like that's totally fine we're
getting food after this right yes we are huh that doesn't seem very like steadfast or very assured
of course we're getting food jeremiah or there's Sure. Yeah. Of course we will.
Yeah, we're going to grab some food.
Yeah.
What would you like?
Is there any Thai food places open?
At midnight?
Any Mexican food places around here?
There is, yeah.
There's a truck at the gas station.
You ever had that?
No.
You ever had gas station Mexican food?
Only in different cities, not in LA.
Oh, the best.
Come on, man.
Well, you're in the valley now, papa.
This is...
Okay, papacita.
The valley is where it happens.
A la valle.
This is the late night food truck.

But if you're cool, they're cool, man.
Are you cool? It's love or not. No, you're cool, they're cool, man. Are you cool?
