We doing a big on Jeremiah wonders today got the news Kill Tony regular in the house Malcolm how we retake that. Oh man. I know right. That is a sneak peek of what's about to come.

Welcome to Jeremiah wonders. How's your week going? Welcome back to the show. Thanks for joining us here on the program.

I was curious what you guys have been saying about the show. So I want to introduce you to a new segment that I like to call the reviews are in where I am going to read some iTunes reviews in an epic fashion. The reviews are in. Flintsburg says he's a good boy.

Choke 1028 writes love the podcast saw Jeremiah live and must say he's one of the great comedic talents out there today. As uni says positivity. Yay pizza declares if sex talk doesn't make you immediately smash that subscribe button if there is something wrong with your smashing finger. Jeremiah so genuine and hilarious enjoy right now.

And walk right saw this guy that he's adding. Having laughed that hard in my life. Mechanical chicken shouts. This guy is hilarious.

If you don't know him yet, you will soon. You'll see bros of exclaims a refreshing take on podcasting. Bunny and easy to listen to best new podcast. This has been the reviews are in.

Thank you for all those awesome reviews. Believe it or not, those are actual usernames that people submitted comments with. I appreciate all of them. Some of them sound made up.

They're actually real. I appreciate all the five star views. If you haven't done it yet, hit on our iTunes, leave five star view and maybe I will read one of your reviews in the future. I want to keep going with this kindest challenge thing.

I've been loving the feedback that I've been getting on the show with that. And I wanted to read a letter that I received from a listener Jeremiah wonders. I don't know what he sounds like. Don't know what he looks like.

So I figured I'd wonder what this guy was all about. And so I'm going to read the letter in the voice and attitude of what I think this guy could possibly sound like. Hey Jeremiah, I want to start off by saying great podcast. Homie.

My name is Dave aka Junkie. I'm a glass artist in Upstate New York and Syracuse. I've been listening to your podcast since it came out. I go and started you from Tony and Joe Rogan's podcast.

Any new. I love this simple idea of just doing something nice for him in a personal friend. So simple. Most of the time we don't do it.

It was my birthday on April 2nd. I was thinking what could I do nice for someone I don't know. I've gotten a hundred bones from my mother and my homie took me out to Brazilian steakhouse for dinner. I remember hearing I could watch Kill Tony live so I got back to my studio, found it on Vimeo and started watching it.

That was also a night almost everyone if not everyone ate a bag of dicks except Malcolm Hatchet. As many other people the first time I heard him I knew he was something special. Russell Peters gave my hundred bones that night and I figured that's something I could do. I hit up Malcolm on Instagram as per Zvenmo and sent him over 50 phones and put a little note saying the love and the dream and did this right after Kill Tony ended.

Then a couple weeks later April 23rd I sent 33 bones because I had a little bit extra money this fair. I know he's gonna make it in the comedy world so I'm glad I can somehow support it. Thank you Jeremiah for challenging me to be kind. Junkie.

Thank you junkie for writing into the show. I appreciate that nice letter and I'm glad that you have been challenged to be kind. It's a good feeling. Whenever you're putting some kindness out of the world and I appreciate you supporting our friend Malcolm Hatchet.

This episode was a lot of fun. I think you guys are gonna really enjoy this episode with Malcolm Hatchet. If you do know him from Kill Tony or you don't know him from Kill Tony he's just a good dude. He and it's a fun listen and I think that we bounce off each other pretty well and some of the phone calls that we got on this episode pretty crazy.

Pretty interesting. So I think you're gonna enjoy that. I had a fun week. I was skating more often.

I went with my buddy MF David Derry. My friend David Derry we went to this skate park called Peddlow. It's near Encino and man it is so just fun. Physically and mentally it's just like therapeutic because all you want to hear skating is just like this flow and this energy where you're just thinking of nothing but not falling down and just cruising and riding around and trying to nail something like maybe a trick or maybe just trying to do something by overcoming a mental obstacle.

But I just have been really enjoying that lately. My boy Patty Reagan and I were in the studio again. We were recording some sketches and finalizing some vocals for the Reagan and Watkins album. We just have I believe we have one final studio session and then it's gonna start getting mixed and mastered and I will give you guys updates on that.

But man I'm so pumped I keep saying how excited I am to show you this album but it's my debut album. Not only just with Pat Reagan but I've never released a comedy album so this is a big deal for me so I'm very excited to share that with you guys once that comes out. But watching Westworld what do you guys think of Westworld this season? I'm excited to see where it goes.

The first season I absolutely loved but we'll see where this one goes. The first episode of the season premiere of the second season was interesting. If you haven't watched it yet maybe check that out and talk about it. I've also been watching Bill Hader's new show Barry on Showtime.

Bill Hader is amazing. Actor, comedian. I really enjoy the show and Henry Winklers and as well so come on. It's a winning cast.

Love that. That's what I've been up to this week. I was just in Salt Lake City Utah. Thank you to everyone who came out to those shows.

Man those were super fun at Wise Guys Comedy Club. Had a lot of Kill Tony and Desquat supporters come out as well as people listen to Jeremiah Wonder. It's a guy whenever I went to the stage yelled out sax talk before I even started talking. So there you go.

This podcast is making it around so thank you for the support guys and showing the support by grabs of CDs and inflatable saxophones and Jeremiah Wonder stickers and all that stuff. Yeah it's good stuff. Let's get to these sponsors real quick. Big shout out to Bronx Born Pizza.

We got the newest Kiltony regular in the house. Malcolm Hatchet. Welcome to the show, brother. How you doing, man?

What's up, man? I'm in here. We doing it. Dude, I'm excited to have you on the show because I feel like you and I don't get to talk too much because I'm about to go on stage for Kiltony like whenever we're hanging out in the store and I'm running around like in costumes on or just getting off the stage from playing music or whatever.

So I'm excited to have you on the show. Yeah, man. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Yeah, dude. So a lot of people have been wanting to have you on this podcast. I've been hit up by a lot of people to have you on the show. So it's cool, man.

Shout to them. I'm here. Yeah. In the building.

In the building. So, Malcolm, for people who have not been following you on Kiltony, let's get into how I met you. I first came across you and a lot of people who have been starting to follow you on Instagram and Twitter and stuff found you through Kiltony. You put your name in the bucket for live podcasts.

How did you hear about the show Kiltony? Well, when I first moved out here, all the comics were talking about it every single day and I was like, you know what? I got to do it. And I said, do it for like months.

Yeah. And then I finally got my name pulled. So then I took advantage of it. I was excited.

But my friends, I had friends back home in North Carolina. They already know about it. I never knew what it was. And when I got on it, they was like, yo, bro, we was telling you about this like before you moved out there.

So I was like, all right, we'll just listen every Monday now. Wow. That's crazy. So whenever you got pulled the first time, were you were you confident that you're like, I, this is a minute like this is this is no sweat.

Like, because you had seen the whole show before you and you see a lot of comedians, some comedians do really well and then other comedians, you know, like kind of tank a little bit. Were you intimidated like what like leading up to your first time going on? My first time I wasn't prepared. I was about to leave.

I was about to go to another open mic because it was like the last name is by the call. And I was like, dang, man, as soon as I stood up, they call my name. So the one minute is cool. Because I'm so used to doing like little sets, all these open mics plus I got a lot of one liners.

So that was right down my alley. Yeah. So I guess that format worked to your manager in that way. Because you have a lot of one line or stuff like that.

I'm excited. That's cool. So how people keep asking, like, a lot of the questions, we'll get into some questions later, but people have really embraced you through the show, like, like before the podcast, to give an example, like for the listeners and the viewers, like what was your like before? How long have you been on Kiltown?

Now, like two months? Almost two months. Okay, cool. So what was your following like on Hint's a Graham 5000?

So we went from 5000 to over 15,000 in the last two months. Yeah. That's crazy, man. Does that is that?

Does that feel weird? You being like a guy from North Carolina coming out here, you know, to chase a dream and then like just in a couple months, like already catching like some heat momentum? Like how's that feel? Well, it feel cool.

But at same time, like, I'd be pinching myself. I was like, this came to be real. It came to be real. But yeah, I like it was tight.

I just wake up every day and refreshing my phone. Oh, new followers. So how old are you? Now you're 24 just 24 last night.

Oh, well, happy belated birthday, my friend. Thank you. That's awesome, dude. Hey, that's crazy.

Yeah, a lot of people are curious about. So let's go back a little bit. How I am on the show, Tony and Scott start interviewing him. And we found out pretty quickly that you have been living in your car since moving to Los Angeles.

Now, whenever you move from North Carolina, did you drive that car? My mom, she I had a cool car back home. She never let me drive it because it was cosigned by her. So I bought a great house ticket out here.

And I lived in the house for two weeks. And then my time was up. And I was like hiding the closet the last day and his dude snitched on me and I got put out and I was downtown for like some hours. And when my friends who been out here from back home, he picked me up and I moved in with him in Burbank.

And I was there for three weeks and then I got evicted. They got like put out and a friend of mine back home, she sent me $1500 and I bought the car for $800. Okay, right around the corner. That's awesome.

Yeah, my mommy, let me drive. I think I think the guy who snitched on you is calling into the show right now. That's him calling. Yeah, who this?

What you wear? I'm a beach. I'll see you drop your address. I'm on the way.

You look fat, anyway, my baloney sandwich that I left in the refrigerator. I hate you. How you snitching on me, man? I could have slept in there for one more day.

So I figured time for you to go. And guess what? I I moved the two beds together. The one that you were sleeping on and the one that I was sleeping on.

And I made a double size out of that. And now I was having enjoying that had a cheaper rate since you've been gone. You need to bed you fat fuck. That's why I hate you.

And I drank your Capri Sun. Wait, you drank my Capri Sun? Yep. That was me.

Well, guess what? Your baloney sandwich tasted quite delectable. Malcolm. That's all you're back on Instagram.

Please follow me. I've noticed that you've become quite successful since leaving the hostel. Thank you. We just lost him.

I don't know. I don't know where he went. That's messed up, man. But here minutes.

Yeah, minutes. Yeah. Brink this mic up a little bit closer. Yeah.

Yeah, that's a little bit better. We in here. We in here. Man, so you've lived so far living in Los Angeles, you've lived a lot of different kind of place.

I don't know why that guy could kind of sound like Tony Hinchcliffe. I don't know what was going on with that. Like, I don't know if if evil just sounds like Tony Hinchcliffe. Or what?

How people ask you to do your Tony Hinchcliffe impression yet? Not yet. Everybody who like has been like a regular on Kill Tony or knows Tony, they have a version of him. So I think that we should hear what what your Tony what Tony Hinchcliffe sounds like to you.

This is Tony. Okay. Fuck out. The number one live podcast in the world.

So you so you've lived in a lot of different situations. What's been the scary situation? Like because you've lived in your car, you lived in the hostels, you're living like an Airbnb with a friend right now. So that's dope.

But have you run across any like real danger like being in LA like any moments where you're like, Oh, I got to be careful. I got to watch my back a little bit in these scenarios. Kind of not really. I ain't really scared much downtown is kind of scary though.

I was in career town. It was like gangs over there. Yeah. But it was straight because I walked fast.

So they weren't trying to catch their women. There's a lot of Korean gangs. Oh, no, it's just what are some moments? Some moments.

Some moments? Yeah, they're all downtown. Like like the big like Hawaiian kind of all down there. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Career town. Yeah.

Career town. A lot of mixed in games too. Really? Oh, hey, yeah.

I mean, I was out there. Well, I went out there. I was inside, but they was out there. Yeah.

A lot of people who was in the house. So they've been there for like months and they were just telling me like the colors to wear. But I ain't paying attention. Yeah.

Yeah. I think I think one of the Simone gang members that scared you is actually calling into the show right now. Oh, he called me. Yeah, he called in right there.

Malcolm. Do you want to say anything to him? Hell no, man. Tell him.

Malcolm's not here right now. That's not like my uncle. You show that sound. I don't know.

Wait, is this Malcolm's uncle or just a Simone gang member? Yeah, this arrow tell Malcolm, I heard he don't made it. I don't write it to my ankles. Tell him, call me on them by the law.

So I have to say that's what my minute now. Now, Malcolm, I don't want you to leave quite yet. I've got a couple questions for you because I'm very curious. Does everybody back home?

I think Malcolm's made it and he's making tons of money now. Yeah, you don't change on me. I'm gonna stop playing. I'm so easy.

Say man, how else now? Do you think Malcolm's changed since since moving to Los Angeles? He definitely had trained because he went up there with a few clothes and then pictures he take. I just lay him close.

So he's shopping. Well, maybe, you know, as an uncle, you know, you're one of his elders. Maybe you could Venmo him a little bit. I can't be spare.

You thought you thought you're nephew created the app Venmo when he started posting about it. All right, Malcolm's uncle. Thanks so much for calling in. Hey, hey, well, crazy.

I always lost a man. So that's crazy that he thought you invented the app Venmo. Yeah, he crazy. He got no social media phone.

I don't know how he found out about any of this. Have you had a lot of family members who like seriously think like, he's doing like well financially. He needs to start sending some money back home. And you're like, well, this is kind of like a warped perception because social media, like that's part of a social media.

It will fool you because all of a sudden, maybe somebody happened to send you a shirt or two and then you post that you're wearing a new shirt. People are like, oh, he's made it now. He's got people send himself. It's like, well, that's like one outfit.

I still got to put gas in my car. I still got to find a way to pay rent. It's still really difficult. Damn it.

I'm gonna hang up over there. He was like, man, we're living in my homeboy. He's like, are you living in now? I'm gonna have to be off the car.

Damn, you still in the car? I'll let me hang up here. He's like, he's gonna come out here. Well, yeah.

Whenever people have heard about some comics that have been generous with you, like Russell Peters, kicked you a hundred bucks on Kiltony and he said, like, Durod threw you some money. Durod Carmichael. That's Ragharmichael. That's Ragharmichael.

It was super cool of him. And he hasn't even met Durod yet. Like a person. That's really cool.

But what's cool about what's going on with you is people see that you're very talented and you should check out Malcolm's stuff online and through Kiltony if you're just now discovering who he is. But everybody is like this dude is a young up-and-comer. He's hustlin and you're very nice and easy to talk to. So that makes a huge difference.

Like if you're cocky, you know what I mean? You don't even really want to help you out. But you're grounded. You come from like a kind of small town in North Carolina.

Like I'm from Kansas City. Oh, we're more free from Kansas City. What's the barbecue like in North Carolina? It's too good.

Oh, hey. Have you been to Kansas City barbecue? Nah. It's good.

Yeah. I guess I haven't really had North Carolina barbecue. I can't really say like, oh, it's better because I haven't had but it's really good. I believe.

Yeah. We got a lot of cows. We got a lot of cows in Kansas too. Yeah, man.

Well, you know, there are a lot of cows around. So yeah, that's crazy. What does this lay down thing come from? Because I had to leave Kiltony last week for your set and then he started doing like a callback to the sketch phrase like what's the original joke from a down-and-there's people who are asking on his Instagram Twitter like, what is this?

One from I think anybody that's what Black parents say to their kids when they're doing too much in house, like you running around and be like, right now. And my friends to rejoy. He was doing too much other day. He just kept talking.

I was like, but I did lay down and they started laughing and I never stopped saying it. So I just kept saying it now. So it's a catchphrase. Yeah, that's what the ghetto mama say to their kids when they be running around and stuff in the house.

You better lay down. So I just started using it. You started using the stand up for different lines. That was an accident.

I didn't mean to say it like I told him, but it worked. He started laughing. I thought, all right. So what kind of dude were you in North Carolina?

Like what, when did you start getting curious about comedy and stuff like that? Like three and a half years ago, I was at first I was a basketball player. I had hoop dreams. I wanted to go to NBA and stuff.

Point guard shooting guard. I was a point guard because of my height. I can dribble, but I can really shoot like that. So back when I'm from small for rebounder pastor, I can jump.

But I had hoop dreams. Then I was always goofy, always goofy. And this girl, she told me about a comedy club in the city. They closed down now.

But this comment came deal hugely and she wanted to go check them out three and a half years ago in August. And it sold out. I was like, dang, she was like, you should do comedy. I stopped talking to her.

I thought she was crazy. And then it took me four months to me that December and I went there and scoped it out. And I came back with like 40 friends. It was like Christmas break from college.

And they all supported me. And I just started doing it. I fell in love instantly. But I was the class.

All my teachers, I was like, you should do comedy. You should act. And I just wanted to play basketball. And it didn't work out.

I was like, I'm just, I'm just trying to calm me out. And then it worked out. How did that first sego? Whenever you had like 40 friends with it was natural, but it wasn't it was stupid.

It was just stuff off the head about crack heads and stuff. It was like, I got five minutes, but I talked so fast. I thought I did 10. I only did two minutes.

And I got off the stage. Dude, that's what happens when you're starting out and you're nervous, you start talking to the bass and then you realize that you've gone through so much material. It's a short amount of time. I got to say, I see my phone.

I was like, man, two minutes. You show your record. Like that day back. Yeah, like kept coming back.

So was it was it? Because you have a you're one of those guys who has a natural charisma and stage presence. How quickly did that? Did you start sensing that like from other comedians, like pointing that out like, Oh man, you're having good sets for like being pretty early in the comedy.

Oh, six months in, actually, it was a very started you started to kind of like get kind of bearings on. Hey, yeah, I just had to find more material. Yeah, six months in, I was pretty comfortable. I was coming to my first day kind of not really.

I was I was really, really excited and nervous at the same time. Six months in his guy, I was named. He kind of, he kind of he kind of big, but I was at open mic and he seen me and he let me open up for the weekend. That's my first time I've opened up for somebody.

Then I gave him like seven minutes. He was like, yo, you six months in for real? I was like, yeah, he was like, man, I want you to open up for me. So I open up for him.

He's like, man, you got it. Just slow down. I still talk fast. Yeah, six months in.

I was I was pretty comfortable on stage. I just needed like tighter material. Well, nice. What's your writing process?

Like like how like since starting out, because how long you been doing comedy now? Almost four years. Okay, cool. So has your comedy writing style changed since like do you do you go off the top a lot on stage or do you are you one of those guys who sits down and like will like write jokes out and like have a certain amount of time you do per day or per week or whatever?

I kind of go off the top but sometimes I write, I write a lot, I write like, like it might be like about McDonald's and I do like bullet points, like black customers, white customers, and then I kind of elaborate when I'm on stage and I do a lot of I put a lot of my phone. But yeah, when it's like a big show coming up, yeah, I try to write, I try to write a lot, fill up some pages and just go over. So yeah, when I go to open mics, I just whatever comes to my head, I put it in my phone and then it might not even be written out in the sentence. It might just be like the police, but I know what I'm gonna talk about, then I'll record it and then I'll record it and listen to it and I finish writing it up.

Right. Okay, cool. That makes sense. Yeah.

What I like doing stage is I write on stage a lot, but I'll have bullet points or ideas before I go to the stage and then I'll listen back to it. And then I'll sometimes, if certain lines are hidden, I'll sit down and transcribe those lines and then keep like editing and editing over and over and over and over like going back and forth from the stage and yeah, the notebook. But you mentioned on Kill Tony and I think that the listeners will find this interesting if they haven't heard about this yet that you sold drugs for a period of time while you're in North Carolina. I was hustling.

What age did you get into that? I started late. I started at 24 now. It was after the hoop dreams.

Yeah, exactly. Dude, that was a realization for me whenever I realized that I wasn't going into the NBA. Dude, I love basketball. I can tell.

Dude, you're the hoop with us sometimes. We play games on Saturdays. We play like a rec game with a bunch of comedians. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you have to come play. But dude, I was crushed whenever I had that realization. It was like whenever I got cut from the junior, my junior year I got cut. I was like, oh, it's not going to happen because I'm not going to be able to climb up.

I'm not going to be able to come in as a senior and not be on the bench. I got cut to my junior. I got cut every year in middle school, 10th in the lemon grade. My senior, another high school, calming.

I went over there and I was starting. Then I started seeing the bench. So I went back to my old high school. I just started roasting everybody.

I was like, fuck, I'm just roasting about it. I was roasting all the star players and stuff, getting them discouraged before the game. And then you're like, looks like I'm starting tonight. Getting inside their heads.

I don't know what's going on with Joaquin. But it looks like Malcolm's starting tonight, baby. Lay down. Lay down on that bench.

I'm pretty sure I started at 22. I was only doing it for like a year and a half, yeah, 22. And what was it exactly? Like, how do you even get into that?

Well, all my friends did it. All my friends. The older guys, the young guys, I was just around about it. I just always hit a hoop dream.

I was just always like to myself. And I was like, man, I knew a lot of people and a lot of people would always hit me because back on myself a lot of the way it was illegal. No, people hit me up. They'd be like, yo, no, no, because a week.

And I let them know. But then the guy I sent them to, they have none. So I was like, I'm gonna start doing this. They'd be playing.

Yeah, they keep texting me. Why am I sending customers away to other people? And I did it. And I started, I started making a lot of money.

I was buying a lot of shoes and stuff, clothes, jewelry, started hustling. I was actually doing it to save, to move to California. That was my goal. I was gonna do this for a little bit and I'm gonna move.

And then I kept procrastinating. And I kept spending money. I was like, I'm just moved. I moved out like $400.

With thinking that you were coming out here to do comedy and everything. Oh, yeah. I was trying to make a lot. You were already a couple of years in the stand up.

Yeah. I was trying to make it enough to come out here. But I was like, forget it. I mean, just go.

Was it hard to stay away from that? Up until 2022? Like selling whenever you have a bunch of friends around you doing it? Because I mean, you see friends around you, they're starting to make good money.

Like their wardrobe changes, their cars start changing around you. Like, is that hard? Like being in high school and college, like surrounded by that and being able to abstain from that? In high school, it kind of, not to me it wasn't because I was anti-sociable a little bit.

But at the same time, I was like, I mean, I get it one day, but in high school, I wanted to do a bad, but I really couldn't because my mom was strict. I have a car and I was just all into basketball. Because I had cool clothes, but I'm a friend of mine saying French though. I was like, yeah, I know he's selling drugs.

I'm gonna try it out. But I didn't really care about it. I was always around it. It just, I used to tease them.

I used to tease them. Then I started doing it. And then it started teasing me. So I could have stayed away from it.

I just got like real, real bored at one point. I was just trying it out. And I like fell in love with it. I was like, dang, now I bought guns and stuff.

I was tripping. Oh, yeah? What kind of guns did you have? I had a kill tick.

I had a 357 revolver. Dude, 357s kick so much. My brother sold it. I'm moving out here.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Well, so me being from Kansas, I grew up with guns and rifles and different stuff like that. So I've shot a lot of different kinds of guns.

And I remember shooting a 357 man with a teenager in my hand. I have both hands on it. He just was like, it went up like kick like way over my head. Yeah.

That's loud, man. It's really loud. Yeah. Did you ever have to pull?

Oh, hey, yeah, man. I got shot at one time on highway. They shot my car in the back of my car. The one they, oh, not the one I got.

Oh, yeah. I don't want my mom cosign. It was crazy. What did your mom say?

Well, she found out, well, I had a teller. She found it in the next day because it was like four and one. I went home. I was like, I got shot at.

Wait, wait, wait, I'll let the car shoot. I had seen you care if I got shot. What part of the car? She like, Oh, my sure.

I'm going to go home. And then when they took the car, when they got, I got into getting confiscated from me being her because I couldn't pay it. I like just give it to me. I'm kind of glad she didn't give it to me because I probably wouldn't be in any situation.

I would have been like something else. I probably would have been Ubering and something. I think I think Malcolm's mom is calling into the show right now. Hello, is this Malcolm's mother?

What age did you stop going? Oh, I stopped going at like maybe high school, maybe like 16, 17, like 17, 17, 18, I started going else. We just go so much and it got to the poor. My mom was like, all right, I want to go church, wake me up and we never woke up.

We just we'd be up playing games and stuff. We like, we're going to games. I want to go church. What kind of church was it growing?

I grew up. I feel like we had we, you and I grew up very similar, similar, but different, but like a lot of like around the same things. Baptist church, one of them church with people running around and shout peppermint, all the ladies, brops, think they're going to be hot. There's one in black ghetto charges, everybody talking about everybody.

It was true. See that is one of my only things that I don't like about certain religions, uh, what they have to do with church, like religion on cool with, but it's more like whenever you get a group of people in a room together, like gossiping and like talking about each other behind their backs. So like that. Was that like that?

Like that? Like that? Like right? Everybody kind of knew each other's dirt and like their business like, you know what I heard.

I think we're going to call. I think it's one of the people that, uh, I think it's a preacher that, uh, that used to be at the Baptist church that you went to. Yeah. Yeah.
