Welcome back to Jeremiah Wonders. Thanks for coming back guys. Listening. Got a lot of good feedback on that first episode with Tony Hinchcliffe.

I appreciate all the shares, all the ratings. Please rate and review on iTunes. Leave some comments for me. Let's get this thing out there.

Yeah, it's available in Stitcher now. You guys were asking about that. That is ready to go. Email me at yourboyjeremyawattkins at gmail.com.

That's y-o-u-r boy. Jeremiah Watkins at gmail.com. Somebody asked me. Is it spelled differently than them?

Just like, no, it's just pretty straightforward. I'm your boy, Jeremiah Watkins. So email me at yourboyjeremyawattkins at gmail.com. We'll get to a listener email in a minute.

I want to tell you guys about some upcoming dates that I got going on Thursday, January 18th. I'll be headlining U31 Bar in San Diego. And guess what? Jamar, neighbors, and Willie Hunter will be joining me.

And that is going to be one heck of a show. San Diego, come out February 1 through 3, 1, 2, 3. In Houston, we'll be there for a night. And then a couple nights in Dallas.

So definitely do that with the Desquat Gang, Red Band, Tony, my boy, Patty Reagan, Joel Berg, Joel Jimenez. That's going to be fun. And then I'll be with Pat Reagan. We're doing Reagan and Watkins for the NACA National Convention in Boston.

And we will be in Boston February 15 through 17. So if you want to do your show or you want to come see a show, hit us up. Should be fun. And hopefully we'll get a lot of college dates out of that.

We're pretty excited. We've been rehearsing a lot and prepping for a clean 10-minute showcase set the last little while. So we're pretty ready to rock out. And a lot of people have been asking about the weight gain challenge shirts.

They should be up soon at jeremywackens.tv.shop. Check that out. And then I've got a bunch of other t-shirts up there. Some personal shirts, some rainwalking shirts.

I think there will be some Kiltony shirts available as well. There's some wave shirts, stand up on the spot shirts, all that good stuff. So jeremywackens.tv.shop. If you want a sponsorship, also shoot me over an email.

Got a couple of sponsors that are about to start pretty soon in the talks. In the talks, it's happening, guys. A fan sent me an email that I spent actually a lot of time reading and thinking about. And he actually gave me directions on how he wanted me to read it.

Now, I don't think that he thought that I would produce a segment about it. But here, jeremywanders. I really encourage creativity. And I've never had somebody tell me how they wanted me to read a fan letter before.

So here it is. Dear Jeremiah, I've been a vamper or while watching you want to kill Tony. The rose battles. And I've seen you on tour with Tony in Madison, Wisconsin.

I wanted to know what you think about the lack of younger successful comedians and stand up. Is it that we don't know enough about the world yet so people automatically write us on? Do you think there's a possibility of breaking the 35 to 50-year-old common norms? I mean, what young guys do we have?

You, Tony and Pete Davidson? I'm not saying you guys aren't good enough. You're all killers. It's just so cute.

Doesn't really take 10 years to get good like they say? Or is that maybe a way for older comedians to make younger guys feeling capable? I mean, 10 years ago, how many wasn't as big as it is now? Your thoughts?

Your biggest fan? This is Stan. J.K., I'm Nate. Nate Bo, thank you so much for that awesome letter.

I appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed that segment. It took me way longer to produce than you would think. But I think it was worth it.

I had fun doing it. To answer your question, in my opinion, I think it does kind of take almost 10 years to really start gaining traction necessarily. I've been doing stand up for eight years now. I've been doing improv for over 11 years.

And it takes a long time in. So give you an example of why it takes so long. The best example I can think of is the lineups at the World Famous Comedy Store. I'm a paid regular there.

And when you look at those lineups, I go on near the end, which is around somewhere between the 1230 AM to 1 AM to sometimes even 115 AM spots. And if you look who's above me on those lists, it is just a list of killers. Like for a guy like me, I've been doing stand up like I said eight years. I'm competing with guys like Joe Rogan, Mark Marin, Bill Burr, Elijah Schlesinger, Chris D'Lia, Tony Hinscliffe, all these guys who've been doing it so much longer than me.

And there's just no way, it's not that necessarily that we're being overlooked. It's just like there's so many people ahead of you in the comedy game. So it's hard to, I don't think that we necessarily get written off. It's just you really have to pay your dues because all of the people who are ahead of us were going up earlier in the night.

They pay their dues and they've been doing it way longer. So it just takes a long, long time because people traditionally do start doing well around the age of in their 30s or so because they've had to do it for so long. And the people who they're competing with around them, they've also been doing it forever. So it's like a passing of the torch slowly as people level up and they start doing more theaters and stuff like that over time.

I'm not competing with guys like Kevin Hart. Does that make sense? That guy's on a whole other level. Amy Schumer, whole other level of like, they don't really come, they're not bumping me for spots at the clubs necessarily.

Hope that helps, hope that answered your question. Yeah, fun episode today guys. Really, really had a good time with my pal, Brian Redban. Well, some really interesting callers calling into the show.

Also email me if you want a certain guest that you want me to try to get or if there's some people that you want to call into the show. I can do my best. There's, I try to meet as many people as possible. I don't know who I can get to call into the show, but send me some ideas and maybe they will appear on the show in the future.

All right, this intro has already been too long. I've been trying to keep these podcasts under an hour because that's how I like my podcast. It's quick and painless and lots of laugh and lots of positivity. I love you guys.

Thanks for listening and check out episode two of Jeremiah Wonders with Brian Redban. Wow, I have another one of my best pals joining the podcast with me right now. It's red, man. What'd I do this time?

That is one of my new favorite segments that we did. The other night on Kill Jeremiah. Yeah, I love how Tony immediately was like, oh, I know who made this up. I know who produced this.

What's going on here? Yeah, man. That was a fun night. Yeah, dude.

It was so interesting. It really made you and I think appreciate what Tony does on the show, the strengths that everybody has for their roles on the show because he has hosted his show, Kill Tony, if you don't know what we're talking about, for over five years. And so he's hosted every single episode and to see somebody else mess with the format. Oh, and it was the first time because it's such a well-oiled machine.

So I had to work. It's so easy. I could almost do it on autopilot, like the regular shows. This one was like, oh, it felt weird.

It felt like work. It was really hard. Yeah, I know. It was like, oh, we're not just going to our normal position on the field.

Yeah. Yeah, so good, though. Man, Red Band is here. Man, I've known Red Band now for, what did we meet originally?

I was actually thinking about that on the way here. I can't remember when we first met. I think it was. It was through the comedy store.

Yeah. It might have been Tony. There's a chance. It might have been.

Yeah, it was. Because somebody, one of the first time I met you, it was Red Band's really good about giving newer comics a shot at everyone's at his Ice House show, Ice House Chronicles. And it was, you booked me through somebody, and we did the podcast and stuff like that. And then, yeah, it might be fun to look back at that.

Oh, yeah. It's from quite a while ago. Wow. Yeah.

How long have you been doing that show? I think I just got on seven years. Wow. Yeah, seven years, maybe eight, seven years.

Yeah, that's crazy. The thing that I've had, that studio that long, that I've been doing podcasts that long, I mean, and I started doing Rogan podcasts, even before that. Or I used to have the studio in my apartment. And I had two bedroom apartment and one room was just like my office.

So my office was just turned into a studio. And I remember Andy Dick's responsible for me leaving my house, because we were doing, I think, Joe Rogan podcasts at my house. How crazy is that sound? Really?

Yeah, we used to do episodes in my house, like in my bedroom. And we had an episode with Andy Dick. And Andy Dick kept on going to the bathroom every 10 minutes. During the podcast.

He was like, I'm having urinary tract infection. Or whatever he was doing. And I remember after that, I was like, I don't want Andy Dick in my bathroom ever again. Why do I, I need to get a studio.

Like I need to get out of this. So literally after that episode, I think maybe a month later is when I got desk water out of my house. So how many years have, so those of you don't know, Red Man is the founder of the desk water podcast network. And I feel like that's been going on before a lot of other networks kind of popped up.

How long has desk water been going on? Shit, I'd probably say eight years, nine years. Wow. So what were some of the first podcasts on that network?

Whenever you like launched it. Sam Trippley's Nadi Show, Tom Cigura, your mom's house. Oh, really? I didn't know that that was original.

Oh, yeah. We did like 80 episodes for say. Yeah. Are you sure if you're a skeptic tank?

Wow, another huge podcast. Yeah, you might have heard of these. Yeah. Joe Rogan, you know out of Joe Ben's apartment.

Joe ideas we used to do. Before he did, before he did podcast me and him, we just, we had a podcast called Pod Cats. And it was our podcast where we just talked about like cats. And that's all we did.

We like talk about kitty litter. Like, oh, we got some new cat food, you know. It was a really ridiculous podcast, but really popular. I think we did like seven episodes.

And then he started doing his own podcast after that. But I think we have a caller calling in. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Who? Hello? Is that what Joey Diaz? What are you talking about?

We were just talking about your old podcast, Pod Cats. What's your favorite kind of cat, Joey Diaz? Anyone. Wow, I'm learning so much about why do this podcast ever stop functioning?

Now, I think there'd be a lot of listeners to you guys. Like, why did you move on from podcasts? OK, we just lost Joe ideas. I don't know if he got angry and hung up, but I don't know.

That was crazy. That was crazy. Right? He was angry.

So Joey Diaz, Ari Shafir, Tom Sigeru, Joe Rogan. Now, at the time, whenever you start doing podcasts, whenever you start doing podcasts, people who are not involved in the comedy world, kind of look at you like you're crazy, like, what are you doing? Because podcasts, whenever they started out, I kind of remember people being like, why would you start a digital radio show kind of thing? Yeah, well, podcasts came out first came out.

And then they never really took off. So that's why there's like some people that have been doing it way longer than a lot of people. Like, I think one guy, as an example, Leo Leoport, he was a tech guy, he's been doing the podcast since the podcast came out. He's one of the first guys.

But I was kind of like the beginning of the front of the second coming. And I think podcasts came back because more people started having iPhones and smartphones and smartphones. And so now it was kind of like, oh, I can listen to a radio show on the go, you know, like I'm working out. Right.

It's like easily accessible. Yeah. So when I first started doing podcasts, then I started the Joe Rogan podcast. And I remember that started to take off really quick.

Like, I think maybe by the time we were on the 15th episode, we're like already in the millions, you know? Oh, really? Yeah. And I was like, one of those things were just like kind of an instant hit right away.

It wasn't instant hit because, you know, I used to go on the road, you know, like open up for him and go on the road and film him for, you know, 13 years, you know, and we would always do radio every morning. And like, I would always tell him after the radio show, because he would sit there for three hours morning radio. Who does that? You know, if you're a comic, you go into a city, you usually have to do radio before a comedy show to, you know, back in the day.

That was the only way to advertise shows. It wasn't Twitter. There wasn't, you know, it was radio, you know, you had to do radio. But usually you go in there and do your dates, you know, talk to them for like 15 minutes and then go to the next radio station.

Joe would sit there for three hours. And it'd be like the best guess they've ever had because he, like, when it was over, people were like, amazing. Wow, that was the greatest episode we've ever done at this radio show. You know, like every city we did, I would always tell Joe, you need to get your own radio show.

Like, I would always tell him that. And then when pod, when I started fucking around with podcast and stuff like that, like, I think that was a motivation to do it because now it was like, hey, he could do a radio show. We just do it in his bedroom, you know? So when that started taking off, what point of his career was that I guess, like, was that this, was that during fear factor?

Yeah. Yeah. Around that time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Around that time. Yeah, I can't even remember. It's been so long. But it started taking off so much.

And then that's when I started going, wait, you know, this is like helping Joe's comedy. You know, he could just advertise dates and people are listening. I should help out Ari. And I should help out all my friends.

They need this too. So I had fun doing it because it was like taking a nerdy, like a little studio in my house, you know, it's like my own radio. So I told Joe I had this idea, hey, why don't we do like a channel of all our friends doing, you know, like, that's what that squad became. Yeah.

And he was like, oh, I'm Troyd. You know, so that's what I started doing on the side. You know, that was like my little side project. Just like, oh, I'm going to make a little radio station of my own called Desquat.

And you know, and that took off crazy fast. Yeah. Then I dug myself a hole and then I was doing like 10 podcasts a week. And that was insane.

I remember like at least moments of Desquat whenever like every time I looked at Red Band, I was like, oh, this is the most tired man. Yeah. And all my relationships failed because of it, you know, because I would be spending literally all day doing podcasts, all night, editing the podcast. And then like no time for relationships.

I was just work, work, work, and then I started a t-shirt company, which is like, oh, hey, let's have way more work now. You know, and I was like, I think we're going to call her. OK, it looks like the lines are lighting up. Hello, who is this?

OK, do you have a question for him? Is it Steve-o? Steve-o, are you? Are you doing a voice right now?

Steve-o? Thanks, man. Were you taking a little nap? Oh, yeah.

What's the question? For audio or video? Oh. Oh.

I'm Steve-o and I use follow. I just find out how Pro X, I grew up on Premiere. Jump you in? Yeah, man.

Sure, man. We'll just. Can you do drive? I want to know, Steve-o, I have a question for you.

OK, shoot. When you get a paper cut, does that really hurt? You're like, oh, I can't get out of the stubble. You can't get out of the stubble.

It's way over emotion. That'd be funny if just little things that you do, like you start crying. It's like the worst kind of thing. It's like the same reaction that he has for you.

Or if he's really emotional during break-ups. Steve-o, are you emotional? Like, whenever you've had to break up with one? Why do you usually break up with these ladies?

You know, is it reoccurring? Yeah, I keep like my balls. Steve-o, is that the only question that he wanted to ask Red Band? Was it what kind of editing software he likes to use?

Yeah. OK, I guess we just lost Steve-o. Wow, what a very specific. That's interesting that he is a, I wouldn't expect him to be a tech fan, you know?

Yeah. Well, he knows how to edit, which is great. You know, it was kind of cool. Red Band and I got to watch a little sneak peek of Steve-o's upcoming special.

Right. And he was editing it. Like he was great. I actually love seeing that side.

We went and me, Tony and Red Band went and they showed us like we hung out in the, I saw sneak peek of a special and he was like editing it in front of us. And it was just like kind of cool to see him like work in an office environment. And I was like, oh, this is kind of cool to see the other side because, you know, we see the jackass videos and stuff like that. And then you see him like proficiently, like editing and like, I can't remember the spectrum.

It's great. You know, because usually you would think like, oh, no, he has an editor. He has a couple of people doing that. But you know, the fact that he's actually just sitting there doing it in his, yeah, putting in the work himself.

Yeah, that was sweet. Steve-o is one of my new favorite guests for, for Kill Tony and for standup on the spot because whenever he gets thrown out of suggestion, he, he has a story for any word. That is suggested because he has such a rolodex of just insanity in his brain of things that he's done over the years. Well, he's been alive.

Yeah. I can't believe he's not more injured than he is. You know, like it's, I'm surprised there hasn't been like the fire thing where he burnt his whole entire body like that's like, you know, I mean, I think I'll just stop. I mean, I'll get into florist.

Right. I'm a florist. Yeah, I have been doing this thing on stage recently where, where I say that Steve-o couldn't do any other job than the job that he has now. Like you couldn't like go into a doctor's office and him walk in the room and then be like, Hi, I'm Steve-o and I'm your gynecologist.

We're going to deliver this baby. Now, Red Band, you do actually a lot of voices, which I love it whenever you do that on the Kill Tony podcast, whenever you like will pop into different voices and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's I grew up wanting to, I mean, I just did voices like growing up, like, but all of my, all the ones that I do back in the day are all dead now. So it's like they don't even know who they are. Like what would be one that you would think that I might not know because I think you would know mom, but I think we're getting red band. And are we getting another caller on the line?

Hi, caller who is this? Red Band was just casually saying that he used to do a lot of voices, but you kind of interrupted our conversation. What, who's this? This is Johnny Carson.

Some weird old Johnny Carson. Wow. I haven't heard. I haven't even done Johnny Carson.

I know, but he's on the line right now. It's insane. Weird. Johnny Carson, did you have a specific reason you're calling into the show?

Well, I had to say this, but I, I dressed this with Tony. On the last podcast, anytime a dead person is acknowledged on the show whenever we, we tell them that they're dead, they disappear. Johnny Carson, did you know that you and Ronald Reagan are dead? I don't want to do that anymore.

I know Johnny Carson just called it for the dead and then he washed away. Do we have another caller? Jimmy Stewart, I loved you. That's a wonderful life.

Yeah. So Jimmy, did you, did you hear that Johnny Carson was calling? Did you have a reason why you wanted to talk to Brian Redband or Jeremiah Watkins? Redband, what kind of microphones do you use in your studio?

Do you even know what a microphone? Did you know what a microphone is? Oh, yeah, I guess there was movies back then. So that makes sense.

Jimmy Stewart, I hate to tell you this, but you're dead. Did you know that? Oh, no, I dressed that he's dead. Another one lost as soon as I told him that he's dead.

Wow, man. That's just remind me. Johnny Stewart and Johnny Carson. I haven't heard of those guys in a while.

Yeah. Those were the kind of voices that, you know, those kind of characters are active. Those guys that just called in. Yeah.

Those are the kind of people that I would do as like a like a eight year old. Oh, I bet that would kill with the parents and parents. Oh, yeah. And it was it was definitely a different voice.

It wasn't my, you know, teen voice. So the problem is yeah. We used to as a tradition watch. It's a wonderful life every single year for Christmas.

My mom. Yeah. I love it. I love that movie.

Yeah. You know, I can't take the Christmas story anymore. I don't know that movie. Dude, they just so they just overplayed it on TV.

Like TBS is one of those ruined that movie for me because they play it so much every single year. Yeah. I'm like, I can't watch it anymore. Speaking of voices, I talked about this right before we started the podcast, how lately on, you know, ever since the weight gain challenge, you've been using this voice in your Instagram videos and your social media and your videos where it's like an like you're being intimidating, you know, and it's like, Oh, I'm eating a chocolate chip cookie.

What do you think about that? But every single one of your videos now has this voice. Like even when you're just doing nothing, like, I'm waiting to get go to the ATM. You know, do you notice that you're doing that?

Like, no, you actually like red bed called the out on that. Like right before the podcast, I started laughing. I was like, we got to talk about this on the podcast because I didn't, I haven't noticed I've been doing it. The only time I noticed is because it's like my competitive, like in your face.

Oh, hey, Tony. Hey, what's up, man? I guess guess who's going down? Yeah.

Yeah. And it's so funny because that's that like that's all your videos now. So like, and then I see you at night, you're talking. Oh, yeah, right.

Now you know, it's like what's right? But it's almost like you have multiple personalities that you're that's what it's coming out right now. That's like my weird split movie. It's like one of them is the Instagram video guy.

Right. Hey guys, what's going on? Because in my head, that's how you talk, like you're just like, when you're going to the bathroom, like you're looking at yourself in the mirror, talking like that, like you're you're not turning it off. You're like that.

You're just doing that during the day. Oh, we've got another caller. Hello, who's this? Oh, hey, Liam.

I asked. You know, you're deadly. Oh, even the allegations that came out today. I don't know what you.

Oh, wow. So, Liam, did you, I feel like there's a lot of people calling in today, but they don't have like real reasons why they're calling in. Liam, did you just convert? Please, please don't say that you got red band to talk like that for the rest of this podcast.

I'm talking like, no. All right. And we lost Liam, I don't know where you were. You accused him of being dead.

I feel like I'm on acid right now. That's what you get on, Jeremy. Oh, dude. Oh, yeah, you do a good March.

Oh, wait, we have a call coming in. March, Simpson, I'm a huge fan of yours. What have you been up to lately? Wait, your son, your animated son is licking your butt.

Wow. Okay. What does Homer think about that? Oh, we have another caller calling into this.

Okay, they both of the calls just dropped. I don't know if they exchanged information, but I think Liam Neeson was trying to court March Simpson. Oh, yeah. And March is going to watch.

That's crazy family lives, some sense. Let's do this next segment. It's called Fanning Out. Fanning Out.

Go to questions again. Reese out to the Twitterverse. And I got some questions for Brian Redband. From at DC Plays Guitar.

What is your all time favorite video game? Well, it's easy to say any of the Mario's like I'm a huge Mario fan. Huge Nintendo fan. So any of the Nintendo games, but do you like Super Mario Galaxy?

Or Odyssey? Yeah, I love it. The new one. It's probably one of the best ones ever made.

I think I was just playing it with my wife's brother up in Northern California. And I got so sucked into it. Oh, yeah. And we were talking earlier, like you don't even have a video game console here, like you need to get a switch and then yeah, it's worth it.

It's cheaper than like the other guys. And it's way more fun. I'd probably say my best game is Katamari, which was a game on PlayStation. I think it's not been on everything.

It's a very Japanese game. Contra was one of my favorites for sure. I love just the fact that you could play with a friend at the same time. And just like, shoot aliens and stuff.

I liked how Contra went from side-scrolling to like, you know, like, yeah, where you had like straight on, like shoot those targets and stuff. Whoa, this is 3D. Whoa, this is wild. Yeah, Contra was great.

And they had a cheat code, which was always fun. Yeah, that's super fun. Do people ever mistake you for being a red van? A list of Baker XO has a red van?

A red van? A red van? If you ever mistake you for being a red van, it makes no sense. Wow.

It made me laugh when I read it. No, but everyone like even like the last episode of Kill Jeremiah, even Eric Griffin was calling me red man. Everyone always says red man to me. Like really?

If anyone goes, hey, red man, can I get a photo? No, then I go, yeah, motherfucker. Like I turn into a red man. So that's why I started yelling at Eric Griffin in a black voice.

Oh, now that's a nice little Easter. Oh, that's an Easter. I've done it many times. So many podcasts.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And it's people who never really catch it. Tony Hinchcliffe told the audience of the show what you smelled like in the last episode.

What does Tony Hinchcliffe smell like? What did he say I smelled like? At Big Joe Bothell asked that question. He said he's like, he smells pretty good or whatever.

I'm like, yeah, he smells great. He's like, I'm a great hugger. And Tony's like, well, I don't go that far. I'm way better hugger than him.

He's like, hey, would you rather hug a water bed or a futon? You hear that Tony Hinchcliffe? What does Tony smell like? You know, I've never smelled Tony.

I think what the problem is asking that question between me and Tony is we both smoke cigarettes. Because we both smell each other. Yeah. Yeah.

Now, this is all of Twitter asking this question. What did you do this time? Oh. Ooh.

Uh, probably said something inappropriate. What do you mean? It's from the, what I do this time. I know, but what did you do this time?

I didn't wipe the pee off the toilet seat and the girlfriend sat on it. Red BAM. And I told her it was just water from the shower. At Dogg on it Hot Dogs.

Do you like Hot Dogs? You know, I used to love Hot Dogs. Growing up as a poor, poor, divorced family kid, you know, we would eat cold hot dogs with a cheese in it, which I thought was disturbing to think about. I don't know if even still make them.

They do. I used to buy the ones with jalapeno cheddar in them. Yeah. And we would just eat them raw though.

Like my mom wouldn't care. Like, oh yeah, we would just snack on a cold hot dog and like looking back at that, that like really disturbs me. Like, like cold hot dogs. I mean, I probably ate a pack of hot dogs a week growing up.

Really? Yeah. All cold. I've never cooked them.

And I think when I got older one day I was just like, what hot dogs are gross? Okay. We've got another caller calling on. It's me, Liam Neeson, Iowa custody.

What are you worried for Red Bann's former child, his well-banged? Yes, exactly. I know. And yeah, I used to love hot dog juice as a kid.

Hot dog juice. All right. Liam Neeson just left the conversation. Hot dog juice.

Yeah. Like, you know, the juice that collects in the hot dog container. It's the bottom of the plastic bagging. Like the brown juice.

Kind of slime to it. So when I was a kid, I would use it to master fake. No. Red Bann.

Are you serious? Have you ever said that before? No. No.

Oh, you did it. Red Bann. I was like, did this. That's like, oh, there it is.

Oh, freaking circle. Wow. That is insane. Final question.

What pulled you to the cat logo for Desquat? And that's from at John Luna MTB. So there's a bodega by my house called Licker, and it's like a liquor store. And one day I walked in there and they have like that part where it's like, if you ever been to a proper bodega, it's just like junk.

It's almost like going to a garage sale mixed with a convenience store. Like there was like, there was a toy section of toys that probably had been there for 20 years. And there was this one Japanese clock and it was a Japanese cartoon character and he has his arm up like a happy cat, like a lucky cat you see in like a, you know, a Chinese restaurant or whatever. And I bought it and I thought it was interesting because the chest of it was a clock and he had his arm up and it was like post 9-11.

And it just seemed like this seems like a bomb. Like he's doing like a Hitler type weird thing with his arm, you know, and he has like a clock on his chest, like a suicide bomber, you know. And so then I painted it. Like I took it home and I painted it.

I painted the Desquat logo. And I used to use it for my website when I had just redband.com. And so then when I made Desquat, I was like, well that fits for the logo, that painting I did of the cat. And so then I just kind of put the two together.

I had painted it before Desquat, the logo, just based off this clock I bought at a convenience store. And then when I, you know, Desquat just matches it, what the idea of it was. Yeah. Huh.

I like that answer a lot. He also asked how have the dumpster drugs worked out? Do you know what that means? Oh.

So there's somebody buy my house recently got evicted or something and there's a dumpster in my alley that was full. And you can tell it's full of just boxes of personal belongings. And so when I got home, I loved thrift stores and garage sales and shit like that. So I went home, me and my girlfriend were like just going through the boxes and we found a laptop.

We found like, you know, there was a bunch of crap in there, but one bag had just a bag of pills, like pill bottles. And so I took them home, of course, you know, I never know what's, there might be some good shit in there, you know. Okay. We have a caller that's going in.

I don't know. Yeah. It's your mother. Oh, hey, mom.

I just heard that you took dumpster drugs home. I guess we could call them dumpster drugs. I just took bring home the dumpster drugs. Because my I thought there might be something good in there.

Brian, I raced you better than to bring home dumpsters drugs. Dumps. At least bring home recycle bin drugs. Okay.

Okay. I love you very much. All right. Thanks.

Bye. Yeah. Well, I ended up like googling all the drugs, the dumpster drugs. I never even thought it was going to ask you that.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure you had to look up like the little codes or whatever. Yeah. And they're all just like irritable bowel syndrome drugs.

It was like bags of ideas. Yeah. It was just like they were all for the same symptom and I think it was like, IBS. IBS dumpsters.

I was hoping that, oh, there's a bottle of Viagra or here's some fun. But no, it was all like the worst. That's like the first idea of fun is Viagra. Not like value or anything else.

Like, no, bottles of Viagra. That would have been a fun time. Yeah. I kind of dig into Viagra.

Like I never needed Viagra. Like I never had pronghing boners or anything like that. But then when I bought one of those gas station boner pills, I was like, whoa, this is not like hey, get a boner. This is like, you know, make your boner swag.

That's like HGH. It's like a super boner. Yeah. Yeah.

Like it's great. I think you started taking those pills out. Did you become like reliant on those? No, but I definitely got addicted to it.

How do you mean you got addicted to them though? Because like of just seeing your penis that big? Yeah. That's fucking crazy.

Like before you're like, all right, this is cool. But then you take the pill and you're like, oh, I have the Avengers of penis. Well, it was a weird time point in my life where I was addicted to go to massage parlors. So I love taking them before I go to massage parlors just to see their faces like, whoa, you know, like is that a real thing?

That's a real thing. Okay. I would love to hear like you go to like an attics class and they're like, okay. Brian is here and he would like to share his addiction.

Let's give it up for Brian, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, guys. So yeah, I like to take a boner pills and go to massage parlors just to see the reaction when I flip over. And I tell you, it's if I had it on film, you would understand because it's pretty hilarious.

Like, because it's like you need to leave. You need to leave this out. It's meeting right now. Get out of here, Brian.

We can't help your time here. Well, there's definitely something to it because like one of the I never got into dick pics. Like I always like Google like a dick that looks like my dick with like the same background as my like bedroom. Like I'll find a dick pic that looks realistic.

And then I'll send it to somebody because you know, I had somebody really the same target sheets. Yeah, exactly. And if I show you my dick collection of fake pics, you'd be like, oh, I see this compared to like my bedroom and stuff like that. Like I send a dick pic to my dad once.

What kind of response I would get to that. Okay. So there's something to that formula of sending girls dick pics that guys don't even realize they're like how ridiculous that is. So the one that I sent to my dad was really, really, really small, like like crazy small but had a bump on it.

And I called his his bump. I said, is this bump normal? Is it like normal? And my dad goes, he goes, the bump is fine.

What's wrong with the little penis? He didn't care about the bump at all. He was all concerned about the size of the dick pic that I sent him. Hilarious.

Dude, I would you have a cool. You guys have a cool chat. Yeah, he's pretty chill now. He's very different from my dad was extremely strict growing up.

And now he's just like, oh, no, everything's cool. Everything's chill. That's hilarious. But yeah, so I think there is, I think if I were to give you a boner pill and take you to a massage parlor, you would understand it so much more.

Because if there is something that they look at and go, oh, I like, oh. Spot on impression of the interaction of going there. This brings us to our final segment. And that is Saks Talk.

Okay. Now in this segment, Red Man, you will tell the story of how you lost your virginity and I will play Sweet Sweet Saxophone along with it. Okay. Well, it takes place in the year 1991 or 1990.

I did it a girl and my friend was dating a girl and we both went to homecoming together, like as a couple, four of us. And we had gone out on dates before. Like I remember one time we went to go see Problem Child 2 and I sat behind them with my girlfriend and my friend sat in front of me and I was fingering my girlfriend and I put it in his mouth. Saks Talk doesn't work if it completely goes off the rails.

It almost told me Saks. What is happening? All right. I'm going to go back and play his sax but you better not be that dirty.

And he turned around and goes, what was that? I was like, no, I was just going to get back to the girl. Then I did it to his girl. So now on Facebook, anytime I go to their Facebook pages, I always go, Problem Child 2, and they go, stop it, run.

It's disgusting. So cut to homecoming. He was upstairs with his girl. I was in the basement with my girl.

And Wrestlemania 3 I think was on. So we were watching Wrestlemania 3 in the basement, me and this girl. And we had sex while we were watching Wrestlemania. And I remember looking over and watching it while I was having sex for the first time.

That's how much I liked wrestling. I also remember I used to go really fast and I was going really fast. I was having a seizure and I knocked over the lamp that was next to the bed and it broke the lamp. And then my friend came running down and was like, what happened?

I heard something break and he saw us having sex. And it was gross. I don't like thinking about it. It was hard to do by the way.

Was it hard to do? Because it's like you're feeding you. You had a saxophone. Well, I also lower it whenever.

Oh yeah, yeah. I know. But you're trying to remember the story while you're hearing. Yeah, it's really loud.

Redman said the first thing I said to me when I write, I pulled out my sax and played for a little while. I was warming up for the podcast. He goes, your neighbors must hate you. Because I used to date a girl that their neighbor played trumpet.

I feel like even sometimes louder. Oh yeah, it's because of brass. Yeah. But he would play for like three hours a day.
