Ooh, baby! Have I got a special guest for you guys today. Please welcome to my pal, Jeffro, to the program. How's it going, Jeremiah?
Good to do it. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. We're live in somewhere in Southern California.
I know. Feels good. Making it happen? Yes, sir.
Yeah. Jeffro is an exciting guest for me and the show just because... I usually have a lot of comedians on and you're a funny dude, but the reason why you're here, very talented musician that I've known for years, and we just became kind of friends through our buddy, Brian Woods, and the comedy scene, and Jason Lee, and we both have mutual friends. We can kind of run it into each other through the scene.
And you've helped me on multiple music projects with Pat Reagan, Reagan and Watkins. Making beats for us, giving us creative input and stuff like that on multiple things, and you're a Grammy winner. Oh, yeah, I've been part of a couple of Grammys. I mean, I've contributed.
That's pretty dope, man. Thanks, man. I think you're the first Grammy artist on the show. Ooh.
OK. Yeah. All right. Feels good.
Right? It's got to feel a couple of minutes. I mean, you look good. All right.
You look way better than me. I got to say that. I got my backwards hat on. Dope shirt.
It works. Right in blue. Yeah, yeah. For sure.
I got my team red team blue. Yeah. But you have a new song coming out called, One It's So Bad. Yeah, that's right.
And I was thinking it would be cool that if you're down, would you be down to play a little bit of it? Let me think about that. OK. Yeah, man.
Let's do it. Let's get a little taste. OK. This is going to be the acoustic version, obviously.
Everywhere I go. Oh, oh, oh. I got voices in my head. Trying to tell them no, oh, no.
They need to be edge. Got some money on us. Oh, oh. But I don't know where to be, kid.
I'm dying inside. There's no love coming in. Oh, I want to know. Oh, am I chasing nothing?
Is it a dream? Should I quit before I get into deep? Oh, these demons got me down and everything. I won't believe them, though.
I won't believe them, though. You wanted so bad. You wish everything for something that you never had. You won't settle for half.
You wanted so bad. Face the face with your fears when nobody else understands. Taking your way through the jungle and yet from the struggle when they holding your bag. You got to go get that bag when you want it so bad.
I just a little taste for you. Yeah. All right. Heck yeah, dude.
Thanks for playing us a little preview. Of course. And then that comes out on all platforms on May 26. It's going to be out on May 26.
Cool. From the Spotify's to the TikTok's to, yeah. And I've listened to the full version. And it sounds great, man.
Thank you. Yes. It's funky. It's not like how I just provided it right now.
Yeah. It's a funky little dance right. It's got it moves. Yeah.
We won't tell anybody. Oops. Uh oh. But yeah, it's funny because I'm so good at making like stoner music, like just shit that you can like, I don't know sit on the couch and eat a bag of chips too.
Sure. Smoke a joint. Yeah. By the way, check out Jeffers stuff like online.
You've got a ton of music out that a lot of different genres and stuff that you kind of hit too. Yeah. Yeah. As far as the production, for sure.
Right. Sure. I'm producing a lot of R&B stuff, a lot of yeah. From EDM to rock to even some hip hop, you know, a little bit everything.
But yeah. Yeah. Now we got to like actually move. Right.
Yeah. Yeah. Go get that bag. That's right.
Right. Always. That's what they're saying at least. Heck yeah.
I love that you brought a guitar. Anytime a guest brings instruments to your boy. I'm always excited. You brought a guitar.
You brought a sax and I've got a key set up over. You were a very talented multi-instrumentalist artist. It's pretty cool. Yeah, man.
I started on the keys and then the saxophone like kind of led me to other things and then guitars just like, who doesn't want to play guitar at some point in their life? You know? Of course. Yeah.
Once I picked it up, I was 12 and from there, it was just like learning as much as I could by ear, you know, starting with Nirvana, of course, like a lot of people. And then, yeah. Was that one of the first songs that you learned on guitar was in Nirvana? It was Penny Royal Tea.
Do you know that one? No. Yeah. It's in utero.
OK. Yeah. That's a good one. It's when you learn how to do bar chords.
Bar chords are you playing guitar? I do. Not great. But you know.
Those are the bitching chords. They hurt when you first start doing it. Yeah, exactly. It's like death on your pointer finger.
Of course. And how old were you? Yeah. I don't know how old was any song by doing the bar chords, so.
Right. Yeah. That's how it all began. And then yeah, I was like 15 and 16 when I was writing Linux.
Terrible lyrics. And I was rapping and I was attempting to sing. I've always had the pitch. But I just didn't know how to physically do it right, I guess.
And then like that took a little time. And here we are. Yeah. You wrote the, like you composed the instrumental for, my name is Jeremiah off the Reagan Walkings album.
That's right. Yeah. You're a good time doing that. That was fun man.
Yeah. You're really fun to work with and bounce off of. We had to find the correct. Oh, yeah, I had a whole like folder of those and that one's Too excited to breathy.
Yeah, this was too low. Yeah. It's a genre. Oh, it's a genre.
Yeah, that hey genre Yeah, just the shouting stuff in the background. Yeah, as a different stuff like that. I tried to do it It doesn't it doesn't come off threatening enough. No, no, you have to have a certain timbre in your eyes.
Yeah, the rest like hey, hey, hey guys Yeah, man. Yeah Yeah, that was great and I loved the video for that to the videos I ended up putting um the instrumental in that to my special Jeremiah Watkins family reunion because I was like we already made The dope instrumental for this. I might as well like that's how like that's on the credits of the special. It's just like boom credits.
Yep. Yep That's the way to do it. I love it. Yeah, it's energy too.
It's perfect for that. It does. Yeah, I use it for like the teaser for it Everything. Yeah, this is dope man.
Oh, yeah, man And then we also did the pizza song which was basically your idea, but we put it together and that one cracks me up to this day Yeah, that was one that we never made a video for it And I wish we would have because it's such a fun song. It's such like a ridiculous fun song We we put that together for when Pat and I did this this NBC show called bring the funny The name of that I always hated the name of that yeah, but we had some good friends who made it far in that show But we were prepping that song for the second round of that competition and then we got cut the first round and we're like Oh, so we did it live when we did it live it would crush mm-hmm anytime We played it like the clubs and stuff like that like it would do really freaking well Yeah, we saw that I brought my friends that one night that was amazing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah It's it's definitely one of those crowd pleasers.
Oh, yeah, I mean It's a it's a medley of different impressions and stuff like that so and who doesn't like pizza? Oh come on man Come on. It's hard It's I don't know if I've ever met somebody who's told me at least to my face that they don't like pizza You know what I mean like there's people out there that I'm sure don't like pizza But I don't think I'm friends with them. Yeah for good reason.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a type of person You don't want to see a good death bed. Yeah. Yeah.
No, that's scary. I mean they are death Yeah, they are the groom Reaper. They don't like pizza. They must be dead inside.
Yeah most likely. Yeah What do you say we hop around on some different instruments to see what we can come up with that sounds good. Yeah, yeah Let's reach for this Casio keyboard. It's in front of me.
I think that's a good way to start it off. Okay, cool. All right, love it Yeah, Jeff, how we doing today? It's a little bit Hard-powered side and it's a little bit hard inside We got all these lights You got that shirt that makes you sweat But it's okay now because I'm playing all Casio keyboard It's my favorite much better than that.
Yeah Oh I Do you drink sake by the way, I don't do you by the way, oh, it's so sneaky. It's Nick is sneak up on you, right? Yeah Chords bro, have you been um, have you been following all this uh this Johnny Depp Amber Heard stuff a little bit a little bit It's uh, it's so weird. It's so weird.
He's pretty hilarious. He's just like oh, yeah He literally like is laughing at like what they're coming up with mm-hmm I just saw this video where like the lawyer was like and did you see Johnny urinating in the foyer? He was calling it a foyer first of all instead of a foyer mm-hmm Did you see him urinating in the foyer and the guy's like no like it's just it's just like it's so crazy wasn't there for that one Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I don't know what's gonna happen next doesn't she testify or something. Yeah, it's gonna those clips are gonna be insane Yeah, hopefully just as good though.
Oh, yeah, I mean I Just enjoy watching like I just Johnny Depp talk in his reactions. Yeah, he's always trying to like not smile You know what I mean? Yeah, he's constantly doing this thing where he's like he's like trying to be stoic But he keeps like kind of like cracking yeah, I don't know Like trying to hold it in like he's trying to like they're like okay We'll give you a thousand dollars if you don't smile right now. He's like okay It's trying to like keep the joy inside.
I love his dark glasses to yeah He needs those to read or see the screen or whatever it is yeah, yeah, yeah dark in the mind. Yeah, yeah It always cracks me up what kind of prescription you working with man? Well for me though, I don't even know what I'm blind as shit. Yeah, you just turn into a blur right now Oh, I took out my contacts.
You'll be a blur for sure damn contacts. Oh, yeah, I've had those contacts for a long time I want to someday I want to do the laser eyes surgery thing the laser yeah I I want to do that too, but I hear that it on it goes away after a while and then you have to do it again So I don't know if I want to do that experience twice. Yeah, but is it one of those things where will it last five to ten years or right? That's the thing is like I hear it is supposed to be a decade, but then like the older you get it's like less and less right all right And then there's you know, there's a higher chance of like you if I can up your vision apparently I might just be inventing shit.
Right. I've heard like one bag scenario and it eventually got corrected Well, of course like the one the one bad one is the one that is gonna stick out of course. Yeah Yeah, when you were learning piano stuff, did you have to learn or did you want to or did you learn a lot of covers? Like some people start like by learning covers and stuff like that.
Yeah, no I was um I was into it because my two older brothers were playing so I think I just naturally wanted to do what they were doing Yeah, I just did the whole you know children's bullshit Classically trained eventually and then the cover stuff just straight up came from the guitar and then When I played saxophone, that's when I started learning how to do jazz like learn how to improvise and um so that kind of like carried over into the Piano and eventually just you know developing more and I'm like the jazz side of things and I'm like the type that like nowadays I will listen to jazz music like when I'm washing the dishes or some shit right perfect perfect Like you know put some funky jazz on in the background, but I went to a music school and like everybody's like So who do you listen to like who's your favorite piano player? I'm just like I just I just play it I don't really listen to it. Sure much. You know as I always thought awkward and people get disappointed when you say Yeah, I really do so I would just like start like mimicking whatever the most popular answer was You know, I mean I know who these people are now right but yeah, I just be like yeah nails Davis, you know Do you say mouths?
Miles a mile mile day. Oh, it's plural. Yeah. Yeah, I love my old Navy He's always one of the greats he can blow man.
Yeah. Yeah that cack and blow man just starting use all the jazz terms Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah Cat like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Well, he's got cat skills. Yeah, that's how we talked to yeah.
Yeah, I heard some interviews. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah What uh if um if somebody was like hey, I need to know five year covers right now that you could just bust out at any time Do you have any of those like in the roller decks? Oh, that's like I should have thought about that a little bit more before I came here But um what I used to do is like we would have a campfire and like people just shouted out what they wanted to hear what their favorite Song was and as long as I've heard it I could probably play it really yeah We used to do like yeah, it's a fun exercise We would do the guest guest that guess that rap song and I play like a rap beat on the guitar and you know Like oh, that's not gonna G thing or whatever. You know, could we do that?
Can we try this with on keys? We could do it on the keys too. Yeah, let's see if I can guess that tune. Okay, so shit on the spot I can't think of a thing um Any any genre you can suggest something that you're what about classic rock or oldie classic rock or oldies Then you know yeah Let's see when you can play at home.
I'll leave it. You know what? I'm gonna leave a gap of space before I guess to see if you guys could guess along with us and now we have a fun interactive game Going up. I like we go there.
We just saw that one. Yeah, all right. I mean, that's very classic. Oh, oh Frick.
Oh, I can't remember. I know this Do you guys at home know this one I cannot think of this one come on baby like my fire? Oh Dang, yep, the doors the doors yep, I'm one and one right now Let's see here's a good one trying to think of ones that are like a little challenging This is Pink Floyd money, baby one of the Amazing sax solo in the song absolutely. I've never been able to play it.
It's crazy that whole yeah That's actually is unbelievable. Whoever that dude was he's on like the whole album. Yeah, I mean there's some crazy Yeah, that guy is next level. Yeah, okay, so you got to count to you right now I'm mad at it and get the doors well.
Here's another one. That's it's my easy Stay away Beautiful. Yeah Classic baby one of my favorite moments of a of Wayne's world one. It says no stairway to heaven on the stairway.
What? denied Steely Dan that might be I gotta practice. Yeah, that would be hard for me. I'm not a huge Steely Dan But I'm not like Steely Dan, but I'm not huge knowledge on on his roll of decks Perhaps oh shit, it's weird cuz like now classic rock kind of includes the 90s I'm still that on his list isn't that doesn't that make you feel freaking old bro?
Yeah I'm gonna meet the other day like I was listening to the radio and like they started playing some songs I'm like what the frick I was listening this one. I was like a little kid or like even a teenager Yeah, I'm like what is happening? Perhaps this one. Yeah This is on that list that's insane.
Yeah Save it with my gloves on Came to window last night Car is gone. Oh man. That's under like the middle school play ending that That was lit right there. That was lit bro.
Yeah, that yeah, that's crazy. That's on my classic rock list They were ahead of their time with that phrase too. They were lit and now everybody's saying shit's lit Oh dude, I never really like 12 and I'm before you don't know a lot of people probably aren't dwelling on that that they were ahead of I think of not many people what about this one? I gotta remember it's been a while since I've listened to some of these bands sure But like the lyrics of leaver That's Seattle rock right yeah Was his name Eddie better that guy All right, let's give one more.
I mean all right. It's for all the marbles guys at home. What are you fairing so far? What was that song called the last one?
That's right? Yeah, even flow. Yeah, yeah, something you have to eat and talk about yes if you like low That's the first time another straight white mill has told me sing it sister. I felt pretty dang good Some people call me the space cowboy So I'm gonna be the gangster Some people call me Maurice Doing the wrong Right here right here in Jeremiah studio and I'm a kicker.
I'm a grinner. I'm a lover and I'm a singer Play my music in the song I'm a joker. I'm a smoker. I'm a man Shirley don't wanna hurt no one No at home before we say who the band is do you know the band is That is Steve Miller band.
Yes, sir. I love that song. Mm-hmm. That's a good one That brings back a lot of good memories.
My mom had Steve Miller band's greatest hits on CD in our car growing up And I was like in constant rotation. Yep that There's a best of Fleetwood Mac. Okay, the Beatles won like anthology all that. Yeah, there's Backstreet Boys.
There's in sync Did you like better between those two you know back in the day? I was a Backstreet Boys guy as I got older. I realized that in sync was the better group But I was all about Backstreet Boys. It's like we frickin oh my goodness.
We played the crap out of that CD as ridiculous And they're back. I mean like they predicted Who would have thought a lot of boy bands follow through with that shit? Oh, no, no, no break up and they stay that way well dude You know it's it's one of those things where those kind of teen heart-throb songs they they hit a little different when you're singing a mess An adult you know what I mean? It's a little bit, you know It's a little bit different vibe when a full grown man with a beard tattoos and kids singing that song Yeah, your life experience certainly takes over and the lyrics take on a new meaning Yeah, I mean show me the meaning of being lonely I mean those guys have had some dark times over the years now.
I can tell you the meaning of being lonely It's a Sunday night watching Netflix no shirt wearing your shame blanket frying into your pizza What's a shame blanket? I don't know shame blankets are cleanaxes for me Just jerking off at a shame blanket all the time. It's like cleanex round list endless and the supply here we go Yep, yeah, yeah, I'm the good life right there Well, some of the first bands when you were like a teenager that you were like like really vibing with where you're like I gotta go buy the CD or I gotta go like find a way to download this online Um right because of the CDs for sure. Um, I mean I was into like all the all the grunge for sure.
Okay, you know like Um, also it was cool because like my brother had an extensive CD collection and records And so I could always just like grab his and like always had access to whatever he was listening to so he turned me on to like The classics like Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd and that you know when I started like Experimenting with substances that sort of became my world but before that it was definitely the grunge and then like Even before that when I was in third grade, I was it was hip-hop like you know, I've never eyes my first rappers Probably 10 years old a group called Arrested Development. Mm-hmm. Um, and they have a song called People Every Day I don't think I noticed what I'm talking about but if you do big props heck yeah, and uh, yeah And then of course Dr. Dre and like I was like this is actually right for hell.
Yeah, this is before I was like owning CDs or had my first CD player I this was like uh cuz that tape take on the radio I still think that one of the best hooks of all time is from still DRE. Mm. Yeah. Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm still Yep, classic right D.
Ah Dude, I love that. What's my motherfucking name snoop dawg That's another one too Fajiman Ward, you know that comic who is it? Fajiman Ward? Yeah, he's a copy store a lot He's like don't stand up on the spot and stuff over the years So I see you might have seen him at like one of like the three club shows or like at one of the other venues that we used to do that Um, but uh, he has this great bit I don't even know if he does anymore, but he has this bit about um like what happened What happens to all of the girls who just do those two line hooks on rap songs?
That's right. You know what I mean? They're like in the boot thinking that their life is gonna change forever And then like that's all they do. Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's a sad word Dude, I like that he's he has exact out of the girl doing this new dog.
Oh perfect. Yeah. Yeah, the music industry man It's uh, it's I don't know which one is the best at breaking dreams I think the music industry might be the worst or the best whatever. Well, that's that's what's interesting is so like we've been on Different paths for like a long time like but we've known I do not have a lot of unknown.
You know It's it feels like a long time. Yeah, like almost a decade. I feel like it was a decade or is a decade. Yeah, and I'm sure we can verify that by text messages and whatnot.
Oh, yeah, but um, I think that's about correct because there's a lot of people that I know that I'm like, okay I've known them for a minute and you look back and it's like no that's been 10 years Yeah, like that feels the same here because we used to uh hang in my old place like on kiwengo and brine You still live there. So like that had been at least close to 10 It's somewhere around like seven between eight and ten I think and that's basically how I met all of y'all because I I'm friends with koreen who I grew up with and we He probably invited me to your show like probably how it began. Yeah, because koreen and brine were helping me out With stand up on spot like literally They were so cool. So how we know each other I had neighbors who when I was running stand up on spot Because I've been running that show now since 2010 which is like insane to think about but uh, they saw that I was Basically wearing too many hats.
They're like dude I feel like like we were already friends and we were like I was hanging out with them And they saw me do a show and they saw me like running around they saw me putting up the line up They saw me like like giving like like literally I would mix CDs of what I wanted each comic to come up to for their music to So much thought for every little part of the show like really really like hands-on producing like every little part that I could And brine and koreen were like yo You need help like let us help you. We're not looking for anything of it We're like we're just homies. We want to help out and that's how I started out like they um Like when I started promoting it outside of second city at a different venue I literally told them I'm like I don't know how to promote if that makes sense And they're like well We have friends who have been in the area We'll start with that and then like hopefully we'll build out the show like in different ways and stuff like that And they they were instrumental starting to help me get people who I didn't know and were not in my network of friends To the show that were just actual people in the audience Because at comics You can't rely on any comics especially early on to bring anybody of of quality to a show Because they're like you use it up too fast in your first year of comedy you use all your favors To be like I'll come to my show and then you realize like oh I should have held on to some of those apps for the good shows that I'm on now So when I was hosting that show the first like after I'd been done doing a second city I started moving around and they started helping me like gay buzzing seats They would buy beer for the show at the show and stuff like that and we used to charge literally like five dollars And some of the shows were free we just wanted to get people into the show and yeah I think that's kind of that's amazing I love hearing that because I guess I never knew fully the whole origin of how that came into place Yes, definitely see that because I know you kill it in so many ways and I could see that like they're like yo, bro Let us help you make this run smoother. Right.
Yeah, so they would have like the actual system of a list and like Brian was like Let's like get a website going for this thing and like just like producer stuff that like there's sometimes too much like on the talent side of things Like when you're already hosting that's already a lot to think about but let me just take some of this pressure off and let's just start doing that and When we left second city I'd ran it there for a couple years and it like got a lot of great shows out of there and it kind of ran It's course was ready kind of graduated out of there That's when the show it started to be hard to get butts and seats because the second city I would promote it inside the classrooms and it would be easy to get 50 people in the theater because they just walk over from the classroom to the theater after Their class so like it was sold out and like easy every show I was like man, this is amazing like this is what it's like to produce shows in LA and then when I took it to another venue It was so hard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Wow incredible. Yeah Yeah, I mean I can relate in certain ways about like doing too many things and whatnot I used to like play my shows when I first moved to LA and like just uh fucking carry my big Han Solo big ass case with my synthesizer in it and shit It'll rip your arm off. Oh heavy course So I would have that a guitar amp two guitars, you know acoustic electric whatever whatever I was doing at that time And I'd be helping my lazy ass drummer friend bring his shit on the stage, you know and like people were like man You're also writing the songs. No, you're doing too much.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You do chill a little bit Yeah, yeah, you start stretching yourself a little bit too thin and then become then it ends up hurting your art Yeah, 100 percent.
Yeah, but it's been cool like over the years of of knowing you to see your trajectory and like you work with some really cool artists Like not only on the things that you have ramis for but just like in general like you told me like some cool I don't know the stories over the years of of different people who you worked with. It's dope. Yeah I mean, I've been fortunate to work with just people that I'm like I can't believe you exist like you're so good Yeah, like uh, I mean most recently one of my favorite artists At this time is uh pink sweats and he's just Incredible drummer and like you probably don't know that unless you see him live But um, he's got the best voice he can write his ass off and just you know when we work together. He knows what he wants You know, so he's just like um, you know, it's how to push you to give him the best quality So sure it's uh, I love that You know because then there's some people that like you just show up and you play in beats And then there's other shit that like you feel like you're just humming the melodies and trying to I don't always do lyrics There's other people that specifically just do lyrics.
I just kind of like I get in where how I fit in, you know That's sure thing and um and yet there's some people where you just have to like write the whole fucking song for them And then but they have the voice, you know, but that's just like every artist is gonna be different and I just really appreciate the ones that like Um, they really know what what direction they're trying to go. Yeah, and they can just lead the way and even though you're a producer and you're trying to help lead them Like they it's like no, they already got it. Just help guide them. Sure.
Yeah, that's cool. Mm-hmm. Yeah when people know their voice. I mean it helps a lot Yep.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah Yeah, there's been all kinds of uh incredible people I've gotten work with this is great. Um, and then uh, A lot of ones that are like, you know, just funny awkward moments, you know that uh, I won't tell the Lenny Kravitz stories I've already told that too many times on podcast, but let's just say that I mean this audience hasn't heard it So should I tell it? Okay, I should I mean it's gonna tell it I think I Okay, I'm gonna do my best to not like embellish it too much But like what it comes down to is um, I had an amazing opportunity to uh work in the Bahamas with uh, C.
Lo Green I've always been a fan of his and um When I got down there it was like it was like amazing setting of course But like they were trying to tell me like, you know, um, there's like this British A&R who I never met before and he's like Hey, Jeff, you know, I love you tracks, you know that in honestly that like I think they're the best for the project I really do but um for hours coming tomorrow and I'm like, did you say for hell? Oh, that's fucking amazing Like I got super excited. Yeah, yeah, so you know, it's gonna be the for real show So we're probably gonna um book you a flight home, you know tomorrow is you and I'm like what what and like so my people got like pissed So like why are you trying to send him home? He just got there?
Yeah, because they're just like, yeah, you know, there's no need And now we're for a while we need Jeff for that's disrespectful So I was great. It's like it's still like dude. I just got here. I just got there You know, can we try to collaborate a little bit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you know Keep going with it. There was like lots of situations like I didn't have my own monitors and all this stuff So I'm like, so how am I supposed to work like oh, well, you know, we could go to the main island and ship some shit over here But it's probably not gonna happen like all right So I basically had to wait till everybody went to sleep and then go into the this big room This the place was like owned by like some porn star or some shit Just a big mansion right on the beach. Yeah, who white sand pink sand whatever it is And um so I'm like waiting till people were sleeping I just plug into the speakers and like that's when I made my beats was like two in the morning And then like I would just try and find the moment to play it for c-lo who was really cool by the way He was just like open to everything fast forward the end of the trip I got to stay because my people were like no, he's fucking staying you wanted him there and um It just felt like I was an outsider but I was like just trying to deal with it the best I could and Lenny Krabitz comes back so he lives on that island or I mean he lives a couple places as we know And he just like showed up super fucking genuine dude And he like came up to me and was like I didn't get your name and um, we had a quick chat and I was like, yeah I love the I love the jam with you whatever But it was again one of those moments where they're like well, we don't know who the fuck you are Like we're gonna we're just gonna play over here And apparently when it all comes down to I was chilling and uh just just relaxing You know as the time's going by and like a low talker came up to me, you know, someone with very very quiet voice and must have asked me for um If Lenny can borrow my guitar and I don't remember this at all Um, but apparently I said no And uh, I found this out like a year and a half to two years later. Um, it was like c-lo's engineer Saw me and you know first time since that Bahamas trip He's like there he is like walking down the hall in the studio There he is mr.
Tugut to let Lenny fucking Krabitz use his guitar and I was like What are you talking about? He's like, oh, yeah, you said no man. We remember remember And I was like you gotta you gotta walk me through this man Because I have no recollection of any conversation about me giving a guitar to anybody or whatever and why wouldn't they have a guitar? You know like yeah, I mean, I don't know so yeah Yeah, that's what it comes down to and um then also the rest of that trip I was like I was making friends but there was still some energy that I couldn't shake I'm like this trip is weird and uh I flew home when Lenny Krabitz was having a barbecue And I was so pissed and I couldn't go to that barbecue I was like man that could have been so much fun like Joining at Lenny Krabitz crib and like, you know, I'm dropping it up So do you did you actually turn it down?
No, no, I honestly think that what happened was like they were asking me if I don't know who knows like do you want pizza or some shit? And I was like no no no. I'm good. I ate yeah whatever Yeah, yeah, cuz like why would I just be like no that dude?
But like that's that's that's kind of my strategy these days is like I was like just own it, you know, like a lot of things Right, you know anybody else sure no problem, but not fucking no that dude not Lenny. No, I gotta go I gotta get away Give me the guitar No No, no But yeah, man, so um trying to think of other fun stories, you know Kevin Gates rapper. Yeah. Yeah crazy rapper He's awesome.
Um, I played on some shit for for one of his songs that like base on a song called uh du down Uh if anybody's listening and they know hip-hop. I really dick that fucking baby Turn on down. Yeah, um anyway, I once met him, but it was like in an awkward setting because um We had this uh secret men's restroom. It wasn't really secret But it was like the one that it was less used.
Yeah, there's only a handful of people to know about kind of thing Yeah, it was less people around that area. It was on the second floor of this big building We were on the third floor third floor one You don't want to go in there occasionally somebody's like in their haircut and shit and it's just like small and cramped And it's like this is awkward right gotta drop a deuce or something Well one time I did have to and I'm going down to that um secret one and I'm like, yep This is it Just like the relax a little me time do my thing like a normal person and uh somebody just comes walking in there And like he's on the phone He's like hold on. Huh? And then just goes up to the stall that I'm in.
He's like boom boom boom Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa? I'm like what who in there? Jeff ro Okay, okay, and then he just like went back to the urinal and continued his uh phone call that couldn't even understand what they're talking about Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I was just like all right. Oh, it's Kevin geese.
I could tell by the camera And his voice. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, but um, yeah a lot of those stories a lot of those uh Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, you just yeah just working with different people over here and stuff like that One of your grammies is with uh Jason Derulo is that you worked?

Uh, that's the electronic Uh dance album of whatever year 2016. Okay. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's been it's been interesting for sure Yeah, I mean The thing that what what our paths mirror at times is a lot of highs and lows Like one second your rubbing shoulders with like huge amaze artists in the next you're like, okay Back to square one like how am I gonna? You know, how am I gonna get this this song and people's ears and stuff like that?
You know, like it's uh, it's cool, but it I don't know I I love all the the craziness of the ups and downs like of going from I literally did like a rooftop show the other night that was Nobody could hear the comics like it was like like I was like yelling at people like there's a long court I grabbed and I yelled at all the people that bar to like try to like fight and listen.
