Yeah, we just took the third one. Oh, that's clean. Is that the power slide put your hand down? Yes, 180.
For roll. Oh, no, no, no, I'm in the wigs. Let's talk about the wigs first. Okay, take you seriously.
My life is in your hands, you're up there, and every time I look at the wig, it's in a different position. You mean to tell me that you weren't there Wednesday at 9 p.m.? Interesting, interesting. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I employ you to make me in the wig.
I can't even focus on the candy. Tony Baker. What's up, man? Jeremiah Watkins.
My name sounds so much better when you say it. Yo, that name could be, you could be an Old West cowboy legend. You could be a black dude from Mississippi with that name. Yup.
Like I would know what to expect with that name. Jeremiah Watkins. Yeah, there's a lot of different variables. Oh, man.
A lot of different time periods too. Yeah. Easily 1800s. Oh, easily.
I had to walk into a saloon easily. Oh, cool. Tough. I mean, have you seen those JR Watkins bottles with the old timey man?
Oh, he's got like a mustache. I mean, I could have been like a four-father or something. Oh, man. You got to check the family lineage, right?
Yes. I know you do, obviously, you do a lot of voices for animals and stuff like that. Did you have dedicated voices for your kids when they're growing up? Like, did you have, because I've got one that I do for my son, like, because he can't talk right?
He's like four months old. So I do one for him. That's like a cowboy. Just because I just think it's funny for a baby to make out one.
It's in my lineage. You know what I'm saying? I would, I remember doing a certain voice for my first born. He was like, hey, buddy.
He's always talking like that when I was talking when he was a baby, baby. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, he's always do that. I think I got that from South Park, though. Thanks for having me, buddy. It's like a variation on one of those cats that's on South Park, the movie.
Yeah. And so I used to always talk like that with him. I feel like I didn't do my youngest son, but I probably did. Probably.
That was the go-to. Yeah, buddy. He's just always... Yeah, I pick him up on my son out and I'm like, how you doing, dad?
Nice to see you. He's just like all like chubby and makes no sense. How you doing? Right here is the distance just in case.
Just right here. I stopped wearing shirts, because I get like the amount of shirts that have been just done. They wait till you hold them close. You feel that hot shit?
Oh, yeah. They got you. I just took the baby to his first wedding over the weekend and not that I was in fancy clothes or anything, but I had khakis on. For me, that's a big deal from it.
Like, is it comedian? Khakis? Khakis? Yeah, exactly.
That's how I feel. Anytime I put on khakis, I'm like, all right, where are we going tonight? So I went to a wedding in khakis. and before the end of the night, he had gotten my shirt.
And he got my khakis too. He found a way, I held him, and then he maneuvered it where he got the drip line down the khakis. And I was like, okay, well that's some power right there. He wanted, he was like, I'ma get to his khakis.
I'ma get him. That's a long trip. I know, I'm a long guy. It's crazy to get to the khakis.
He had a load. He did, man, that's a load. He had a mouth load. He was living it up at the wind.
He was going for it, man. Yeah, so we danced with him for the first time too. And he danced to Abba, the Dancing Queen song. And I told my wife, we have video footage of that.
And I told her I go, you know, if he turns out gay, this is his origin story, right? This is it. Like it's a Dancing Queen? Come on, man.
At that young? That's a great song, by the way. It's a great song. I love hearing that in movies like in the background or whatever, I'm like, yo, great song.
Oh, it's a vibe for sure. They didn't do California Dreaming, did they? That's not them, is it? That's not that.
Is that mom in the pop is? Yeah, California. That's another dope song. It is.
Because the voices in those songs sound kind of like, not like ghosts with like kind of haunting something like that. Those old songs, there's something creepy about them. Yeah. Because in horror movies, I don't know if you notice, like if they slow down, it can be any old song.
If they slow it down just a little bit. Creepy. It's so scary. Every time.
And then you add little kids singing that. You're just like, give me out of here. Kids ruin everything in horror movies now. Kids playing?
Oh, forget it. It's the scariest thing of all time. You know what I noticed too? I live close to a school.
And whenever I walk past the school and the kids out there resets, I always hear kids scream every time. Yeah. No matter what they're doing, they just getting out of school is resets. I always hear high pitch.
But when I was in recess, I feel like we'd never screamed. But when you hear the kids at play in a group, you always hear that random high pitch. Yeah. It's like we block that out.
Every time it's a group of them. Who's doing the screaming? Who's the kid who's always screaming? Yeah.
This is one kid. He has an age. He's in every school everywhere at once. Because I feel like if you screamed like that, then recess would be shut down when I was a kid.
If there was that high pitch like, like what y'all doing out there? It's like roller coaster level screaming at recess. It's like what are you doing? It's like what is going on that is like making you scream like that?
Right. Jump rope. There's no way. How's that?
Good. Come on, man. The scream was too, but I always hear it. Yeah.
I don't know what that is. Yeah. Every every time I'm damn near undefeated walking past schools and I end the screen. But then I thought back to me as a kid and we were on the merry-go-round, this kid Charles Heath screamed because you know the merry-go-round.
That's a death trap. Oh, yeah, of course. Oh, and they get a spinning in some way. Oh, it was a top speed.
You should ever try to hop off or hop in. Oh. You're just going to get a niner. Yeah.
Concussions, they were getting obliterated. And Charles Heath, he was hanging on for dear life. And you ever get so scared, you just kind of shut down. You know those scenes and save it private Ryan where they just like, and then they just are looking around.
And you're looking for his arm and you're just like, Tom Hanks is taking it in. I was just taking it in like slow motion. I was looking at Charles Heath's scream. That was my private Ryan moment.
He was just screaming like, it was kind of inaudible. And he had cupcake residue in his mouth because he was holding the snack. I'll never forget that image, man. So what happened?
Did he fly off? Did he say on? Like he flew off. You flew off.
Yeah. So Charles was the last image before I gave away. You're like, he's still there this day. He's still holding.
He's leading up to the end, man. Well, that's kind of like the thing. I don't know if you ever wrote skateboards or anything. You have to make that decision when you're going down a hill.
When it starts wobbling, you're like, do I jump off now? Or do I try to ride it out and then run it out? Right. And I've gotten hurt badly both ways.
I've tried to stay on. I can ride this out. And then I try to outrun it. And then I just fall over my feet.
And then other times I'll jump off. And then just instantly start somersolving. Which one did you do more often? I tried to jump off and outrun it.
OK. I don't know. I didn't know you skated. I don't know how skateboarded.
I don't know how y'all do what y'all do. You got to be fair. Well, I'm going to exclude myself from that group because I'm not good. OK.
OK. But I have matters back for people who skate legitimately. Because they'd be getting told up. Well, it's crazy to me that this is the first year that just men's skateboarding.
And stuff got added to the Olympics. After all these years, they had like vert competitions and stuff like that. But they never had flatland tricks and rails and all that stuff. And I'm like, that's not the super dangerous, too.
That should be an Olympic sport. That first year of it happened in this year. Oh, that's dope. They definitely should be in there because the skill set is amazing.
You have to be such an athlete. Oh, my God, man. I don't know how. You're just jumping in just the physicality.
Jumping the physicality, the timing. Yeah. You got to have like when I see people doing Ollie or whatever, and they know when they come back down and how to flip it up. It's like, how do you know when to do this?
It's amazing, man. I'm like, I had the most respect for skaters. Because the accidents. Oh, yeah.
We'll re-re-sports. I play football and not great. Yeah. I play football and I'm wearing.
This is a shirt from my eighth grade football team. Oh, so yeah. It still fits me. Yeah.
You play football? Yeah. Were you tall, then? I was.
You were wide receiver? Uh-huh. That's my son played. Yeah, wide receiver.
And then I would occasionally be tight end. OK. Yeah. Yeah.
I played. I was on defense. I was guard, tackle. Sometimes they had me a nose tackle.
That was my favorite position. Yeah. Nose tackle. Because you lined up right with the center.
Oh, yeah. You can go right for the quarterback. I love it. But yeah.
Were you going to get sacks? You know, I don't think I got a sack. I got close a couple of times, but I was never able to curl it over and connect. Yeah.
Those late ones were already threw it, but you just in there and trying to look good. Yeah. I'm a playmaker. Right.
Yeah. But I never got a real sack. Yeah. I have a real sack.
Just say that. Just let the audience know. I'm sad. It's real.
It's real. You got football sacks. You got kids. Yeah.
I got two kids. You know what I'm saying? But I got a second. Did you?
Yeah. When did you get a second? I got a second me last month. Oh, wait.
June. How was it scary going into it? Yes. I was scared.
I was like, oh, oh, oh. Because I know what to expect. You know what I'm saying? I just think the worst.
Anything surgical. Well, you think when you hear a segment, you're like, okay, they're going to put me under. I'm going to be out for like a week. Yes.
But it's all in office. In office fully awake. Yeah. No putting under 30 minutes.
Was the pain? Was there pain after the fact? There was discomfort after the fact. I kept frozen vegetables on it to keep it from swelling up.
Yeah. And then my issue was the healing process was getting a little yucky. You know what I mean? You know, because they they stitched you up.
You got to clean it and so I got it. Yeah. And that's like that skin down there. That's not meant to be.
It's all like it doesn't heal like an arm or scratch and then like it, you know, the skin is like, okay, yeah, it was all in it and you got to be gentle with the cleaning, you know, process is your ball. Yeah. And they all like, you know, swollen and stuff like that. But it wasn't too bad.
And then when I would do my walks, because I walk every day, biblically, like I walk miles. And so when I did my little first little walks, it was kind of uncomfortable down there. Sure. Yeah.
But it wasn't bad. Okay. Yeah. And then right after that I called COVID finally.
Oh, yeah. So you post about it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And then even go in to do my, after you have a vasectomy, you got, they got to make sure that the pipes are clean because whatever you got locked and loaded in there previously, you can still. Right. So they, so they got to go in, you got to do samples two different times. You got to do two weeks before.
Again, again, for them or what? You say what? You thought going to cup? Yeah.
Yeah. So two times. Two times. And then I really cleanse.
Yeah. They want to make sure like, you know, I set the appointment and then, you know, you go two weeks before the appointment and then one week before the appointment. Yeah. Yeah.
And then they check. So so I had to postpone those. I haven't been yet. Okay.
Snips, snips, snips, snips. Yeah. You sent me a handful of music artist that I just asked Tony. I was like, what, like, name some of your favorite musicians.
I want to like a ballpark, an idea for the show because sometimes I'll do music with the guest. Yeah. And you said, can it be rap? Yeah.
Now I had an idea that I thought could be fun of two characters who are in an outcast cover band. Okay. But they only know the chorus is to a few songs. But they swear that they're super fans.
Right. They only know three courses of three outcast songs. So they have to keep the party going with just the chorus is because that's all they know. Yeah, they don't know the meat.
They don't know the meat. They don't know the verses, the bridges and stuff like that. It's just a bridge. So it's basically a small medley of rotation of songs.
All right. Thanks for coming out tonight to outcast with a C. My name is Devon. And I'm Milden.
We have your favorite outcast songs in the world that we're going to play tonight. Yeah. You ready to get funky out there, Milden? Come on.
And let's do our stay red. Here we go. I'm signing this taxi. I am for you.
Never meant to make your daughter cry. I apologize. I apologize. It's really good.
I'm signing this taxi. Oh, I am for you. Never meant to make your daughter cry. I apologize.
The trays are tired. Let me do the solo part right here. You can. Let me do the solo part right here.
I'm still here. Hey, hey, hey hey hey. Oh, that is. Hey, hey hey.
Go nap. I know you like it. But she knows the name of the little bit rose. Hey, go now.
I know you'd like to put your nose down. But a little bit gross. See, roses really smell like boo boo boo. Yeah, all roses really smell like boo boo boo boo.
That's all we got. All right. OK. OK.
I'll cast with a C. We also do cable installations. Let us know if you need internet or in-ground cable work. Yeah, we do it.
Because we'll be there. It will be there anytime you need it. Oh, anytime. Depending on what you do.
There's a Venmo barcode on the edge of my piano. If you want to come up with a scan. Nobody's coming up. We're saying three classic outcasts on.
Time to bottom. From the bottom. The whole thing. From the back.
And y'all not giving this to just do. OK. Let's pack the van up. OK, let's pick a hell of a glider in the food.
What do you turn on us? So Tony. Yes. Yes.
I'm going to pay you a compliment. And I hope that you take this as a compliment. But I feel like, I mean this with 100% respect, I feel like you are one of the most underrated comics in LA. Oh, thanks.
Man, I'll take it. Thank you. Why I say that is I've had to follow you and I've had to occasionally bring you up at the store for years. And I always felt like you should be going up earlier in the night.
And I've been starting to see that a little bit more lately. Yeah. And it's been amazing to see. Thanks, man.
Because I've just seen what you've done with your career. And I just have mad respect for your work ethic. And what you put into it. Because for anybody who makes any kind of videos, the amount of content that you were doing like day, bro.
People on the outside don't think really fully understand what goes into that. By you doing that many videos a day, it's so much work. And then stand up on top of that. And then you put out your own special that you put Tony Baker and friends, which I rented and I loved.
And I love all you guys. And yeah, I just wanted to get that out of the way. Because that's something that I get out of the way. I need that out of the way.
Then we'd be silly again. But no, I want to pay you that compliment just because as fellow comics, sometimes we don't get to tell each other. And also because we're passing so much. And in the Mac halls, it might be too much.
And be like, hey, man, I think you're you. You know what I mean? But in a podcast, I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to say it.
We got the sign that we'll speak my mind. Thank you, man. Appreciate it, though. Yeah, it's cool to see.
We've been rocking the other for years, man. I've been seeing your growth. And then it was like, and you had such a unique style. Just like this guy.
As long as he doesn't give up. Because we've seen comedians disappear. We've seen it. Phenomenal comedians disappear.
Disappear. And it was like. They're booked all the time. But they don't have that extra.
They don't have that hunger to keep it going. Maybe they don't get the shine that they thought that they were going too fast enough. And then they just peer out. But for us, it's like, I remember, I mean, we did just relax together.
I remember we were both out there at the same time. You guys were doing the Rose Battle. And I came up with, I think I've been twice. And I think you guys were there.
Maybe the first time I went. And I was just like, man, Jim, I'm doing much real. That's comedian. That's a good look.
It's interesting. The ways that I've gotten things, you mentioned my unique style. Because of that, I haven't gotten anything the conventional route. You know what I mean?
It took me, by the time I got my new faces, I had already been to Montreal four years. Wow. And literally, I had people coming up to me that were like, why are you doing new faces? I was like, because nobody knows my stand up.
I want to be seen as a stand up. They're like, aren't you like, haven't you been here? I'm like, I haven't here my stand up. So that's why I kept showcasing every year.
And I was like, no, I want it. I love doing that other stuff, but I don't stand up. Like I want you guys to see the material as well. Because that's important to us at the end of the day.
Absolutely. The other shows, you know, I was doing those shows once a night a week and I'm like, I don't stand up seven nights a week. I want you to see that. Yeah.
Man, how'd it go when you did it? I, you know what? Because my, let's be, my three all is tough. It's like my opinion.
There's a lot of pressure. It's pressure in the crowds to me, well, at least in my experience. They're tough out there. Like they'll give it up, but like I saw one show.
It was for the LOL network. It was like a TV taping, right? Yeah. He did it too.
And the crowd was nook. Room, Tim. I was just like, how frustrating is that when you see killers you're like, if they're not going to get anything? Well, what am I?
Am I supposed to be the guy who's rallied the troops and get them? I love that though. In the back of mind, no matter how bad the room is. Like there's something in every concert right?
Yeah. You know, there's like always that faint? Yep. Little bit of hope.
Little bit of hope. I can get an internal. Yeah, this is my night. This is it.
Yeah, you go again. Take the cold, he'll run. Did you have good sets out there? All sets were cool.
In my opinion, they were just okay. Gotcha. Like, didn't do bad, but it was just like, good, like B minus, you know what I'm saying? So in my opinion, I was just like, man, I didn't walk away feeling like I murdered it up.
You know? So did you feel like you got stuff out of Montreal, like after it was all said and done, do you think? Not really. So.
Because for me, I had, the first set that I had was in like the big theater. And it was one of the best showcases I've ever had in my life. Oh, nice, beautiful. And the second one, like hardly any industry came to it.
And I had like a pretty good set. And I was kind of like, whatever, like everybody was at that other one. Yeah. And I got nothing out of it.
It was one of those things where I think that the years that Montreal, like regardless of the groups that they have, I think they have in mind the casting people, whatever their flavor is that year, they go in like looking for certain things. And like, I just wasn't there, like I killed. Yeah. But I wasn't the flavor that we're like, here's, let's have some meetings.
Let's, you know what I mean? So like, everybody's like, that was amazing. Yeah. Like nothing.
Oh man. But I was like, ah, you know, whatever. At least I don't have to showcase for Montreal every year now. No, you're done.
You killed it. You did what you were supposed to do. That's the main thing. Like I would much rather do what I was supposed to do.
Like walk away feeling like I did what I could. I delivered. Right. I smashed.
And then the rest is, you know, if the industry didn't, for whatever, because you never know, you'll stress yourself out, trying to think about what they were thinking, what their agenda was. So it was just like, so at the end of the day, I just look at the set itself. Just be like, well, I did my thing. That's all we can do.
That's all we can do. Yeah. Otherwise we'd rather sell it. Oh my god.
You just do want it. Yeah. Then you know, we can always go back. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. That's like, now we're done.
It's like, OK. As soon as they open back up, buddy back? I think they're doing like a Cancun one this year or something. Yeah.
Yeah. Getting fancy. Yeah. All right.
Changing it up. Wow. What? What made me to the back?
Yeah. Getting out of the Cancun. Oh, the Cancun. That's our brow reach.
Right. Where you going? Cancun. Yeah, no.
No one ever goes to Cancun. That there isn't some kind of like money or free trip one or something like attached to it. Right. Nobody casually is like, oh, I'm going to Cancun.
Right. It's like, I'm going to Cancun. Cancun. Yeah.
Well, how'd you get with that? Well, you know, I got free Cancun. I have a connection through my work. Yeah.
I work with Comcast. Yeah. You'll give an employee of the mother trip. I laid one million yards of cable.
Oh, yeah. Cancun. Cancun. I've never been to Cancun.
Me neither. My mom and dad went when we were, I think that was a last ditch effort for their marriage. They got divorced? I think that was, you know what I mean?
I think that was like one of those now that in hindsight, I'm like, it goes around the time when they were having their issues and stuff. I was like, I think this was like, let's see if we can repair this. Let's just go to Cancun. See if we can work through this and just see how it goes.
Let's see what happens. Yeah. And you know, eventually, you know, it puts a temporary band aid on a problem. And then you go back to life and you're like, oh, no, we still have issues with it.
Yeah, we still, you know, there's no fun and fun right here. Yeah. It's real right here. Yeah.
Where are you from? Kansas. Kansas City on the Kansas side. Okay.
All right. That's exhausting. Man, when I did the Kansas City improv on Missouri side and I asked the crowd, I was like, what's the beef about? Because I didn't know Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri will right next to each other.
They border each other. And I blew my head off. It's separated by the state line. It's so weird.
So different jurisdictions of certain rules and stuff in different cities, like one's more lax than the other. It's real. Yeah, it's just different. It was crazy.
And I was just like, in Kansas City, Missouri, people feel like we're the true Kansas City. I was like, wait, what's wrong? Kansas, the city is named after Kansas. Right.
So Kansas should be like, no, it's our city. Y'all just came in and took it. Missouri was biting off. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Missouri City should be yours. Oh, yeah, exactly.
This is Kansas City. And then they would see the crowd was like, oh, no, no, they're not happy about it. Like you call them that out. Like I, on my special, I talked about it because I accidentally said during the special that we were in Kansas, I forgot that we were in Missouri because it was literally a blocker to from Kansas and people kept yelling out, where was I?
Where was I? I had to stop the show. I was like, all right, like easy. Like I ripped on the situation because people were losing their minds.
Right. Yeah. It's serious people. It's barbecue.
Yeah. Oh, bork. Come on. Can't there be for it?
Everything. Yeah, but that was I open it, man. I was like, wow, that is, okay. It's a weird thing to have like rivals like within.
It's so close. I know. That's not what I would always do is though the closer the, the closer the rivals the more intensity is in a lot of cases. Yeah.
Like Chicago and Green Bay. Pretty close. Did you have that grown up? I hate Green Bay, man.
Yeah. Well, there you go. It's passionate. It's passionate.
Hey, just built in. You know, I would love it if Aaron Rodgers came to the Bears. But you know, right. That's probably not good.
Yeah, it's not good. It would be nice with you. Yeah. Yeah.
It'd be cool. Yeah. It'd be cool. Yeah.
It'd be cool. But that'd be the ultimate like, you know, fuck you, if he's unhappy with Green Bay. Oh, yeah. It'd be ultimate to go over there and sleep with the rival.
I mean, Aaron Rodgers, man, come on. Come on. What are you doing? Come on.
Yeah, man. It's been a minute since I've actually done my show, Stand Up on the Spot, but you were always great at doing Stand Up on the Spot when I'd have you. It's such a fun way to see your mind work in the moment. I love seeing the way different comics approach getting thrown a suggestion and then see their process kind of like break down the word or expression or whatever.
I love that show, man. How long are you doing that show? It's been a while. Dude, I've been doing that.
I mean, with this, this fall would have been like 11 years. Yeah. I'm doing it around LA. Wow.
I love that show because I'm a big fan of just going off the cuff. Yeah. Like, that's just how I do comedy. I had to discipline myself to stick to a set list once I started touring.
I need to get better about that. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard because it's so fun to riff and crowd work. Oh my God.
It's so fun. But the problem is if you do it too much, then you're not honing your material. Exactly. And then you're not getting closer to a special or something like that.
So I have to, sometimes I discipline myself like, all right, one show, one weekend. I really need to do more material. Yeah. I mean, and like I need to work on some stuff.
Right. That's what I try to do. Yeah. Going on tour.
And Kev was, Kev on stage was just like, tell me, if you're doing a different set every night, how you going to know what you did in one city when you come back? I was like, and my head exploded. My head just blew up and it was just a body standing there jiggling. I was like, you're right.
So that made me do a set list for the tour. So every city I would do the same set. Oh, wow. So then when I come back, you know, I know I can't do any of these jokes because I didn't just saw my eyes like do the same thing.
Man. That's what I hit me because when we first started the tour, I was all over the place. It works. I was just like, I only tried this new stuff.
I was all over the place. And Kev was like, how you going to know what you did in one city? What city? What city?
I was just like in one city. I was out of here. I was like, yo, okay. Okay.
