Oh snap, another hot one from DJ McCray. That's Ad DJ McCray on Instagram. Thanks for that dope, original next little preview of what you're about to hear with myself and my pal Earl Skackel on this podcast. Welcome to the show everybody.

How was your week? Oh Jeremiah wasn't the best week. Well guess what? Good.

Because that week is done, it's behind you and this week's gonna be better than the last. Huh? What do you say? Let's make it a good week together.

Start off on a fresh, good foot. I'm in a good mood right now guys. I want to give a special thank you to my boy Gage Tierrina. He's based out of Texas and he is helping me put together this podcast lately.

Editing that audio, editing the video, making sure it gets out to you guys on time. He's helped me produce this show. I'm super grateful. Because I was in the studio with my boy Patty Reagan this week, earlier in the week up in Ventura, which is like an hour and a half north of Los Angeles.

We're in the studio for 30 hours straight working on the new Reagan Watkins album. That's about to drop. And we got to a place where we got our final mixes, our engineer buddy, Johnny. He was like, I'll finish these mixes if you can stick it out with me.

And he thought that we're gonna be done at 5 a.m. We were done at about 5.30 p.m. the following night. So we went in at 10 a.m.

and then we're on a Tuesday. And then on Wednesday we left around 5.30 p.m. So it was pretty crazy. It was pretty intense.

I'm so freaking excited to get this album out there. We just got like one step left where we got to master the tracks. And then we can start releasing it. We're gonna do a limited vinyl release.

We're gonna do a hard copy CD album release and then of course go on Spotify and iTunes and all those digital platforms. So we'll listen in pledges. So I'm excited to hear that new Reagan Watkins. We've been pouring our soul and our love and energy into it.

I think it's gonna be something pretty special. One of the things sponsored by the show Bronx Born Pizza at Bronx Born Pizza on social media. They're based out of Bend, Oregon. Or you can if you're a Los Angeles go to Gray Block Pizza is owned by the same PMP Thomas Shiffer.

Yeah. Help me out with this equipment on the show. Make it possible for your viewing pleasures on YouTube. Those videos are released every Wednesday.

And I hope you guys are liking those Instagram clips. And my buddy Gage, he's also helped me cut up and edit some of those as well. And he's helped me put those out there. So heck yeah.

Check those out. Follow at Gage tierina. It's T-I-J-E-R-I-N-A on Twitter. Yeah.

I'm gonna be with the OG Kush Monster in this podcast. Yo, it's 40. Yeah. Tell him when they got.

Tell him when they got. Go, go, go. It's B-W-E-E-N-A, that Blueberry. Do you remember guys that Ludicrous song?

In a Blueberry yum yum in this old good. They got Blueberry yum yum but guess what guys? They've got the Blueberry yum yum. They can deliver it to you.

It's marijuana delivery service. Hit up my friend Gino. They'll look it up. And guys I'm looking for some new sponsors.

If you want a sponsor to show or if you got a product you think I'd enjoy you want to do some kind of products exchange for some little plugs on the show we can work it out. We can work it out. Also, your kindness challenge letters and your music submissions for the show. I like to use original music from artists on the rise, aspiring artists, wherever you're at, whatever level.

Tell a friend about this show. Are you enjoying it? Let me know. Also you can email me or hit me up on Twitter or Instagram.

Let me know some guests that you would like to hear on this podcast. I'm always, I want to stay in touch with you guys and make sure I'm doing my best to get the people that you want to hear me interact with and make me wonder things about on this show. Yeah, let's get into the kindness challenge. All right.

What are you saying guys? This is an interesting one. This guy gave me some Easter eggs and clues on how he sounds, where he's from. I don't know what he looks like, but I don't know what he sounds like.

So I'm going to wonder what he might sound like if I read his letter and what I think it might be his voice. And while I do that, you're going to hear some original music, another original song from Cliff Studios titled Lurch. Hi, Jeremiah. I want to share a kindness challenge story with you.

It kind of went wrong. I saw a struggling mum trying to get her prom down the stairs of a London Underground with kids either side of her walking down the stairs and another kid in the prom. By the way, the kid looked like she would have been a prom in the first place. I thought to myself, this is the perfect time for me to do a kindness challenge.

I offered my help to the mother, but I got an aggressive no. I don't need anyone's help. I double check with her, asking if she was sure. She replied with, Hebrew and cunt, what did I just say?

And it showed it off and got on my tube. But then I noticed her running to the same tube I was on and the best thing happened. She got so close to the doors and they shut on her. I couldn't help myself with smiling and waved her.

Sorry it wasn't a very kind act, but I tried. I'm British Indian, that's the reason for the brown comment, but she was brownish color as well, which confused me a bit. Next time I'll try to be more kind. I love the podcast and the positivity.

If you guys ever come to London and need a tour guide, hit up your boy. Much love. Kishor. Kishor, thank you so much for writing the show.

Bro, I'm not going to quite count that as you completing the kindness challenge. What would have been perfect is after all that after she said that mean thing to you? You offered your help. You're trying to be nice.

After all that, she turned you down, did an improper way. If you would have held the door open, if you would have extended the help there after all that whenever right before the doors close on her without smiling and being like, it's coming for you right there. Say it, I had a bitch. Then I feel like that would have been the kindness challenge.

But thank you for writing the show. I want to read this as an example of I appreciate that your heart is in the right place and going into it and you're trying. But let's go that extra step. Let's welcome that cruel, cruel woman under the train.

And maybe that will improve her day a little bit more next time. And she'll pass on some positivity to somebody else. Maybe I'm being too hippy-dippy. I don't know, guys, but that's just how I feel.

It's easy to be nice to somebody when they're being nice back. The real, real challenges if somebody is being horrible to you and you still are extending kindness to them to try to improve their mood and improve their life situation. You know what I mean? That's the real challenge.

Anyway, I just want to plug a couple of tour dates real quick, guys. Come see Kiltony in Michigan in Toronto at the end of September. I'm going to start plugging this right now. Tuesday, October 23rd.

Stand up on the spot. We're doing a live podcast recording in the belly room in the comedy store. That's Tuesday, October 23rd. Come see Stand up on the spot.

Live podcast recording in the belly room in the comedy store. It's going to be fantastic. People have been asking for another episode of Stand up on the spot to be released in this feed. So let's get some butts in those seats and have a good time.

What do you say? Huh? I love Earl. We've been friends for a long time.

Don't take anything that he says too seriously on his podcast. He's doing a lot of shtick. I just want you to know, he's joking whenever, you know, you'll get it. Why I give a disclaimer on this.

I don't want people to get the wrong impression. Earl, he's a good guy and he loves joking around and stuff. We had a great time reminiscing of old times together at the comedy store in Rose Battle and many more things. You can see him on Showtime's I'm dying up here in a new show called The Jellies with Tyler the Creator.

He's got a lot of good stuff cooking. Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Earl Skackel if you don't know him. If you do know him, get ready for another fun wild ride as you always know. He delivers Earl Skackel on Jeremiah Wonders.

Oh, yeah. Here with Earl Skackel on the podcast. The real deal. The real deal.

Inappropriate Earl's own Earl Skackel. Yes, I'm in the flesh. Good to have you, buddy. Dude, you're one of the few people actually like in the world of comedy and this world of pit bulls and vipers, proof that nice guys can be successful in this business.

Oh, wow. Earl and I have been late night warriors at the store together for years. Just trying to crack each other up long before we were paid regulars there. I mean, the lineups are so stacked at the comedy store like from 10 to 12 15.

It's all TV comics. So even though like you and I are super funny guys and it's Joe Josh and many others. It's like there's no room for us to go on other than the end of the night. Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, it's like being number nine in a patty order. It's like, well, Jose Contaco is number four. You're not going to go on before him. That's for you old baseball freaks.

We got a lot of old baseball freaks to tune into the show. But you know, it's like, even if we were to get a bigger TV credit. I mean, it's like, yeah, the talent is so so huge. It's like, yeah, who are you going to go before?

It doesn't really it wouldn't really make sense. I mean, it's just just what? 15 spots. I don't know how many spots somewhere around there.

15 spots, you know, the first probably 12 or Sebastian, the Leah, when you come in. Rogan, Marin, Segura, Christ, or all you do. Yeah. There's no where either you're going toward the end or you don't go on.

Yeah. And there's plenty of people who'll take the 12 15 spots we got. Oh, heck yeah. Just shut up.

Be happy your names on the wall and get some more TV credits. If you don't like your spots, you idiots. You hear that other comedians? Yeah.

So instead of messaging Adam, why aren't he going up more? Well, how about getting credits and then you go up more or hit the laugh factory? Just be good looking. That's the requirement to get on that lineup.

Sorry, I'm keeping it real. This isn't better. This is honesty. There's London flow, dude.

London flow. Well, you're like the opposite of me. You're like Mr. Nice guy and you don't cause waves, which is why you're successful.

I approach from the other side of the fence of a fine line of sticking up for yourself and being honest, but without being bitter. Would you consider yourself like kind of like a wrestling heel of comedy? Well, I think a lot of people have come up to me recently within the last, I'd say six months. I'd say dude, you're sounding a little bitter.

I'm really not. I got a big dick. I got money. I got a condo that's paid off.

I got a car, a Dodge Hellcat 2018 that's paid off. What's the least? I'll be honest with you. But life is good.

When I can testify to everything that Earl has said, unfortunately, I've seen all of those things. Yeah, I mean, you got a big hammer. Show it. You don't keep it in your pants.

But I mean, I have an insane love of progress. I feel like there's a wood carving of that somewhere. Have you got a big hammer? It's like the back of every open mic in LA.

Trust me on that one. I can't do the glasses. I can't do my signature bit. He does a bit where it's like the old like little rascals thing.

No, no, no, no. Any joke that bombs if you do that, it automatically makes a joke about it. It's a save. At least a few times in my set.

It's a good, it's a good saver. Yeah, I, we, we used to sit in the back of the store all the time and watch Don Barris go on for like over an hour probably at the end of the night. Like, and just he's so good about like allowing people to play with him and kind of be a part of his set that some of the stuff that Earl would do and say from the back of the room and T would be back there Jason Tebow and Hinchcliffe for a long time. Yeah, we'd all be back there.

That was kind of a cool era whenever we were all kind of available enough that we didn't have anything better to do. So we were just kind of trying to crack each other up in the back of the room. I mean, if you look at the talent that's in that back row and none of us, I don't think we're trying to make it or whatever you want to call it. I mean, you know, we weren't back there.

Oh my God, I hope there's a TV exec. There's no TV exec in the OR at 1 30. It's literally a pit of darkness and like you're lucky if there's like some tourists there from Australia. Yeah, it's like literally a garage con.

You know, we're, we're just practicing our time in and, you know, improv it really the highest level like, you know, because you have to be listening to what Don's saying and then I have to listen to what you're saying and not overstep your lines or not overstep with Don. Let him do his thing. Because it is his ultimately it's his stage time. Oh, yeah.

You know, you have to be respectful. It's like, okay, he's letting this play like you say and, you know, it's a tough, it's a tough room. You know, it's very much like roast battle where you either kill or you bomb. Yeah, it's a great swim for sure.

Like there's no like, you know, in between. It's like it's either kills and everyone in the backlash or it eats it. And that's what was tough like for, for me, like as a comic, and anybody else was back there, you're trying to get in the store and you're also just trying to make your friends laugh. But like if you bombed during those late night times with Don in the back, like all the comics kind of looked at you like, oh man, that sucked.

And that like made you better. Oh, yeah. You have to improve immediately because if you threw out a bomber, then you'd have to think of something immediately to try to cleanse the palate of everybody in the room. So at the end of the night, people were like, Hey, man, that's funny.

Well, yeah, I mean, back then, almost even today, you still want the respect of your peer. Yeah. And Adam used to hang out in the back as well before he was town corning. Really so funny, like he used to hang out so late before he got bogged down, you know, with a bunch of comics and stuff like that.

Now he would take a concord out of that parking lot. You talk about the toughest job. To be the booger, the number one club in the country. Yeah.

I mean, I missed those days to a degree. I mean, obviously we're past now and we're on TV and all that stuff, which is awesome. But like you kind of missed the, I don't know, the housey on days of when we weren't trying to climb over. Not that we're trying to do that now, but you missed the genuineness and the eagerness of hey, I just want to be funny in front of Jeremiah and Hinchcliffe.

Yeah. Whereas now we're kind of like, oh, I got to have it set tonight. You never know who's in the room. Right.

Like I got, and I'm working on these jokes specifically, or I'm trying to develop this and back then it's just like, we had already done our spots for the night, or we just weren't getting up at all at the Comedy Store. And we were just happy to be there and excited to be there. You know? Oh, yeah.

I mean, it's the number one club in the country for a couple of years now. And like, you never know who's in the room. Even back then, you know, Don's association with Kimmel, you know, cousin Sal has been in that room many a times when we were throwing out zingers. And, you know, so there was always something to gain by being funny in that room.

You know, so it's, I miss those days, but I don't like. Well, I mean, it's like a graduation thing. Like after you, we did it for years. I mean, it took you, how long did it take you to get past the store?

Like in total? I saw Brody Stevens, who I love now, but back then I didn't know him, so I didn't appreciate his shtick. I saw him make an open-micro cry. I think the second time I'd done potluck.

Brody made an open-micro cry. He was hosting and the OR is a tough room. And back then, it was a million times tougher. Like, oh, absolutely.

You know, we all love Rose Battle and people think that's the bee's knees of like thick skin and, you know, aggressive comedy. Rose Battle has nothing on the comedy store in the early 2000s in terms of, you know, when Dana Chenone would host the open mic. I mean, they made people cry. But Brody, this open mic from La Jolla had bombed pretty badly.

And Brody was like, where are you from? And the guy's like, La Jolla. And Brody's like, well, that drive just got a lot longer. And the kid literally ran out crying.

I'd never seen him since. And it was very much an aggressive atmosphere. And I was like, I don't think I'm ready for this. Yeah, it's a lot.

So I left for about seven, eight years. And she stayed open mics in other clubs. And then I started coming up around 2009. So 13 years total to get right around Rose Battle started taking off.

There was a great time of getting past Rose Battle starting to climb. And every year it's been better. Yeah, Earl and I actually showcased together whenever Earl got past. And he got past with Candace Thompson.

And it was one of those things where whenever you got past, and it was like me, Kyle Ray, maybe just on singleton, Sondro. It was one of those things where after it happened, like as bad as I wanted it, I was nothing but happy for you guys. Because I knew how long specifically you had been after that. You know what I mean?

So it was one of those things where I was like, I'll get another time. This is my time right now. Because I was like, Earl has been freaking. He's at the top of the list as far as do's paying had been going there.

But I mean, it almost hurt me. But I mean, all of us did well that night. So it was just really boiled down to, I mean, I don't know why Adam picked a week, picked that particular night. But like any one of us could have been passed.

But it goes back to almost the lineups today. It's like, you can't pass five people. Oh, no. Yeah.

So but I know in my case, everyone was going up to Adam. But you got to pass her all year. He's been up here the longest. He's been, you know, effed over by Tommy.

And it almost worked against me because Adam came up to me. And I don't think he would mind me saying this. He's like, dude, I'm going to showcase you. But if you don't do well, I can't pass you.

Like I know everyone loves you up here. But I wouldn't have wanted to get passed that way. No, it would have felt wrong. You had a great set that night.

And you deserved to get passed. But like if you would have had like a kind of so-so set, and then you got passed after all this time, and then people were like, well, he gave it to, he was given it to him because, you know, he's just one of the guys here. Then it's like, oh, well that's the next. I mean, that's kind of what Tommy would do sometimes.

He'd kind of pass these, you know, people like one guy was giving him studio time. No, it's true though. I won't say the guys name. He was a pretty nice guy.

But another guy was giving weed. And, you know, there was a lot more, I don't say deserving people, but there was a lot of people who could help out more than I could. I can't give him anything. You know, in terms of, hey, I can get you in with Netflix or comedy stuff.

I've got nothing off of you. So I lucked out. And then you got passed shortly thereafter. And I believe if you're funny and you fit the store, you'll get passed eventually.

But even today, it's like you could never have another showcase ever. And there's not enough spots. You know, there's 15 spots a night. Yeah, just kind of how it goes.

So like there's probably 100 comics who are good enough to be passed. I mean, look at, like Brad Williams just got passed. He's been a touring headliner for years, has multiple Showtime specials. And he had to start like coming and hanging out.

And this is after he's already established himself to other clubs and everything like that. And he just got passed after all of that. Because he still, you know, had to show face and show interest in the club. And he was going up on potluck, like in the, a national touring headliner.

And, you know, put his ego to the side and just made it happen. Which I thought was pretty freaking cool. Well, I mean, the store just has this magic quality. The other clubs don't improv.

The improv is a great club. I love the improv. I can't say I love the left. Well, some of the things that we did late night at the store literally could not happen at any other club in the country.

Oh my god, you'd get letters banned, all this stuff, legal stuff. There's like this like safe haven kind of like this bubble or the store where it's kind of like an agreement. Like if you're coming here, you're cool. Like you might see some weird stuff tonight, but like everybody's gonna have a good time to be cool with it.

You used to do this thing where you used to do this Buffalo Bill thing a lot where you would tuck your dick between your legs and be shirtless and you come up from behind the curtains and they would play the Buffalo Bill music from Silence of the Lambs. And that was just like one of the bits that happened late night. And it was just like this like I remember people be like running in the back all I'd be like, girls doing Buffalo Bill, girls doing Buffalo Bill and people like flood into the OR to see it. I brought it back the other night.

Did you? Because Ryan O'Neill was on before me and he was killing. And I almost don't like inviting people to see me at the store because I don't want to bomb in front of people I know. Yeah.

And I'm not named dropping. It's a situation that a couple guys from Slash's band were there because I'm friends with them. And O'Neill was killing. I'm starting to panic on how I follow this.

He's like, well, there's one way to follow it. And a couple minutes in, I was doing pretty well. I'm like, Josh, Josh Martin was in the room. And I said, the wrestler Rick Roode would say when he would take off his robe, hit the music.

And he knew instantly what to do. Josh Martin and Sammy went there. He couldn't find a song, so I was like having to do bits from behind the curtain while I'm taking off my clothes. Hey, doctor said, rectum, kill them.

Just anything, anything to kill time. Yeah, Josh, just gives me the cue. And it might have been, I can't say it was a set, but it might have been the best audience reaction I've ever gotten in the OR. Just I felt like a rock star.

And I felt so bad for Davey Wester because he had gone happening. I mean, $50 in tips because there was a bachelorette party in there. I bet they were freaking out. They were drunk, but they sold it up real fast when the hammer hit the stage.

Oh, yeah. And she's a great big fat person. And they're like, take your clothes off. Leave it off.

Leave it off. I'm like, honey, 50 bucks. I sure enough, 50 bucks came flying at me. I had put my dick pick.

I pulled out my dick pick on my phone, and I put it on the stool right in front. And there's a group of gay guys in the front row. And they were loving it. I mean, it's not something you could do.

The talent coordinator from Conan was there. He's like, I can't use this, but this is pretty funny. So it was almost like a worthless set for the standpoint of, there's no way I could do that any other club or any TV show. But the OR, you've got to do what you've got to do.

Yeah, survival of the fittest in that room. Because it's like late night with Don or upstairs in Rose Battle, sometimes in the OR. They either love you or they hate you. Oh, it's killer bee killed in there.

If you're bombing, you might as well lean into the bomb, because you at least need to get some kind of reaction. So there's still some kind of energy in the room. Just so it's for the next comic, they can do something with it. No energy.

I was talking about this. Brody's like, I'd rather have negative energy in a room and try to turn it around than have no energy at all. Yeah, in that room, it's a vacuum. When there's no energy, there's no life.

You can hear glasses clanking in the kitchen. You can hear conversations in the parking lot. Because the hallway echoes. So if someone's talking in the parking lot, you pick up the conversation.

But when you're doing well, you don't hear anything with the laughs. So it's a very, I still say it's the toughest room I've ever played in. Yeah, you would, the Buffalo Bill thing, what you do occasionally is a comic would be on stage. And you would go up there for a comic that maybe wasn't doing that well.

And you would time it perfectly where when the comic hit their punchline, like the now's where you laugh kind of thing. And it wasn't very good jokes though. Earl would be behind the curtain and time it perfectly. And he would pop out Buffalo Bill style shirtless, completely naked, dick tucked.

And the room would explode at laughter. So the comic, he starts feeling himself and getting more confidence as it goes. Completely unaware that there's a dude that's mostly naked right behind him helping him kill the room. I mean, I started to get that idea.

There was a place called the Knitting Factory. And it was on Sunday nights. It was one of the hotter rooms. This is when I wouldn't go to the store.

I would go other places. And there was this comic on there. And I'll give him a plug. Probably the worst comic I've ever worked with.

Oh boy, what a plug. Peter Prince, his guitar comic who played like he had 12 broken fingers and had the personality of Kurt Cobain after the suicide. He was bombing one night horribly. And it was real awkward.

You had like Swartz in the room, Anthony Clark, and Ian Bag. I mean, there was tons of talent. And I'm like, I got to do something so these guys don't leave. So I went behind the stage.

And there was a hole in the curtain. It was just big enough for me to put my dick through. And he never changed his set. So I knew when the punch lines were coming.

So like you said, I would listen. And then when I would hear the punch line coming, I would put my boner through the curtain. And he was killing. You would have thought he was Dane Cook at the Garden, or Sebastian at the Greek Theater.

So the next night, we're at Ireland's 32, which was a pretty cool open Mike and Burbank. And he's doing the same set bombing. I mean, just eating a shit burger that Arby's would serve up. And he comes up from the outside, and I'm like, dude, I don't know what happened.

Last night I killed with the same set. I'm like, I don't know, dude. Tough crowd. Too bad there wasn't a curtain with a hole in it.

You dummy. Huh? Huh? But back then it opened my eyes and stuff.

You know, it was just very much the same. Like, you would do it. I went without my dick just to get the room going. Oh, dude.

OK, first off, how did you get a boner behind a curtain? How did you, how did you, some of the strength, are you just one of those skilled guys that? You're going to go to 7-11 and get the Rhino Blaster. I took one the other night called Black Mamba.

I literally turned into a Black Mamba. I don't even know what that is. That's interesting. The CEO of a Boner Pills company is actually calling in right now.

That's crazy. Yeah. Hello? Yo, this is so cool.

You used to sell ovens and frying pans on television? Yeah, everyone's seen the wrong thing. OK, so you used to sell frying pans. So you're used to working with hard things that are firm and no slip grip, right?

Yeah. I think your phone's cutting in a little bit. And I think you're going to have to talk into your receiver a little bit more directly. We can't get it as close as this thing to you as well.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so you've a new line of boner pills coming out called the Black Mamba? Yeah, it's really just kind of nice and important. Is that technically legal to do to put that out there? Well, that's why I can't give you my exact address.

Although you notice my voice sounds just like your guest Earls. Yeah, well, he's a big fan of your product. Is that actually a side effect from using the boner pills? Do you start sounding like similar to Earl?

Yeah, you take a Black Mamba and you instantly become. Wait, I don't understand the math on that. So you're saying that you have the power to gain an extra inch and a half. The right mouth is doing its job down there.

No, it's Jimmy Rogers. Jimmy Rogers. It's good, guys. I wasn't aware.

I thought you were talking. I was looking for somebody that was like a big celebrity. But you said it confidently. Everybody knows that name.

Yeah, I mean, Rogers is so gay. Well, he's a good dude. I'm glad that your friends with him. That coin's perfect.

Well, do you have any advice for anybody that might be struggling with some erectile dysfunction, or would you recommend them to any other products? Well, there's a few things I can do depending on check off. OK, so that way when you get a live one, you can just give it a nice blast of your baby. You get old there.

It's a little hard to, your testosterone drops. You're about 30 drops significantly. So you have to supplement what you have. Plenty of natural herbs.

There's a boram. There's a taurine, which is made from bull semen. That's in Red Bull, isn't it? Yeah, that's crazy.

Why don't you feel so much energy? It gives you wings, gives you something else. You get some real nice loaders. You get a Red Bull.

You'll have these in other natural herbs. It's so funny. I didn't catch your name. I don't think CEO of the Black Mamba company.

It's Ron Propeil. That's right. Ron Propeil. Propeil, sorry.

Hey, oh, P and guy. You see on late night TV commercials air after that flex seal guy, that fat idiot. Well, we're all fighting for better times, lots of you know? Welcome to the comedy store.

I think Adam boasts late night infomercials. Well, Ron, you sound very similar to Earl. You even have the poor down. That's the side effect of the mamba.

That's the side effect of the mamba. You get Earl's Skakele syndrome. I'd like some new products that are coming in. I would love to hear your new products that are coming out soon.

As they say in the, I mean soon. Oh, I get it, Ron. Yep. Sound effects and all.

A black snake, which. Well, what's the difference between black snake and black mamba? Black mamba is a little more aggressive in our ingredients. OK.

Yo, Hindi. Yo, Hindi. You have a maka root. We have a tonk hat.

Ollie. Black snake is a little, because yo, Hindi's made from a tree bark. You can't. Black mamba's made for guys.

Yeah, I was through my agro. You can try those as well. But I don't make any money off those. Yeah.

I go to the Pfizer Corporation. But through trial and error, I found in my mind the perfect mature ingredients. Black mamba is available for $12.99 at all 7.11s. Sunset oil gas station on Sunset and San Vicente.

And then you mentioned black snake. No, what's that? It's a more natural alternative. It won't give you a little.

Now you're saying that you'll get more, as you're using your words here, you'll get more baby batter out of it, if you use these products. Well, there's also a product tester had to take a few days off to do a reload, so to speak. Right, right. Seaman max.

OK. And that's if you have no, you'll some men have trouble producing Seaman like a little drip. If you come only a little bit of dribble, which we all know that ladies don't like that. Right, they like just a big canal like the guys are just blasting into their face like a glazed donut.

I recommend, you know, some people take red bull, a shadow red bull. Let's just say you're going to winch holes after you unleash your load. Well, thank you so much for calling in. And I'll definitely give you a call back around if I have any questions, because you covered a lot of bases here today.

And also try a chainsaw balls. That's big balls, morning, which is where the semen is produced. So you know, because there's a market out there that has big dicks, but with small balls. It's what they call in my business, all potatoes.

Right. You've got to have your potatoes to match the meat. You can't have like little balls, and then have just not visually burl. Right.

So that's a chainsaw balls. It'll give you a nice full. All right. I'm going to let you go, Ron.

Thanks so much for calling in. I'm pulling in a sensitive oil, right? Wow. Earl, I can't believe you must have just gotten back, Earl.

I was just on a phone with this guy, Ron. He's a CEO of a boner company. Oh, yeah, Ron Popeil. Yeah, you know.

OK. Yeah, I was just imitating. Oh, I mean, yeah, it was just a. Yeah, well, Ron Popeil is that guy who used to sell late night.

Everyone's seen him. Does that name ring a bell to you? No. He's like this really tan.

Oh, OK. This is OK. I think I never did. Incredibly tan.

He would sell like a pancake maker, sandwich makers, anything, you know, the roast beef. You would shove the roast beef in one of those ovens. It looked like Oprah's feet and sandals. Oh, my god.

So with the guys a billionaire, literally a billionaire, he's like a Tony Robbins of food invention machine. So believe me, I wish I was Ron Popeil. Well, you know what surprised me about Ron Popeil? He was so knowledgeable about all of his products, which was very interesting to me.

It sounded like I was almost like this guy had spoken from experience, you know? Well, yeah, I mean, he really was like the Einstein or Thomas Edison of like ovens and pancake makers. And like he had this one, the automatic grilled cheese maker, where you would literally just look like a waffle board and you would put bread and cheese in it and close the machine. And within 30 seconds, you had the perfect grilled cheese.

Now, I don't know if it really worked like that in real life, but... But the ads sure look good. Oh, the ads, you know, the business. I'm sure they had to shoot that shot 100 times.

And then the poor suckers who live in Idaho are like, this doesn't work like that. Ooh, ooh. Have you lived in California your entire life? Bellaire, California.

Not every comic is a struggling baboon living in Valley Village in a studio with five other losers. You do this thing called attention LA comics that I appreciate on Twitter and social media, where you just really like, I guess it's just unfiltered Earl whenever you do it about advice about certain things or certain stigmas or things that are going on. I think a lot of people appreciate that. Well, I can always tell, and I'm actually in all seriousness, trying to help comics.

Like it might not seem like that. Right. Even with my recent situation about certain shows, I was keeping it real to be like, you gotta stand up for yourself. I am a voice of the voiceless.

I speak for the unspoken, the victims of this business. And I would just keep it real and attention LA comics. You know, don't tell me great set when you see me when I haven't even gone on yet. And I've had that literally happen.

I'll mention this guy's name. I used to open up a Rob Schneider and Rob's a good friend. He's very good to me still. And I was opening for Rob Schneider at the Canyon Club, which is in Agora Hills.

And it's like a lot of 80s metal bands play there. But they get big comic acts. So there's one way in, one way out of the Canyon Club. It's the front and the stage has a direct view of the front door.

So if someone leaves or comes, you see them. So I'm closing out, I think I did 20 minutes. I'm bringing Rob up. I see John Schneider walk in.

There's no way to walk behind me to the side door. There's no side door. And he comes after me after Rob's on stage. It was, dude, I really love the new material.

I'm like, I just saw you walking. What are you doing? I said, yeah, I love the closer. And I'm like, oh, thanks.

Does he help produce like Tom Green's show? I used to guest host when Tom Green. He had something to do with it. OK, because I think I met him there.

Oh, he's a nice guy. But you don't need a lie to me. Sure. So that's the vein of attention LA comics.

And I keep it too real sometimes. But I think in the history of me doing it, I probably cost 500 attention LA comics. Not one person who said, well, that's not true. You shouldn't say that.

That's pretty well received whenever you do that stuff. But I can always tell which ones had the most impact, because they're the ones with the fewest likes or tweets. Because you know what I mean? It's like too real, some of them?

Yeah, and I could tell that people don't like it. Yeah, like attention LA comics. No one cares. You're ranked 18th on Rose Battle.

Uh-uh. So and then no one will like that. It's too real. Because it's like number 18, so looking at that tweet going, oh, I think he's talking about me.

I am. Earl the heel, Skagal, Lively, Jeremiah, what, there's. Well, I like Rick Root. I'm the likable heel where most people root for me.

Most. You grew up Bel-Air. You're from LA. That's also a rarity, like being in entertainment.

Yeah. There were some people asking, they were curious. So you are your Kennedy. What you talk about on stage sometimes?

Well, my aunt is Ethel Kennedy. So how does that work? Like the breakdown as far as like the family tree. She's my dad's sister.

But you know, the Skagals have more money than the Kennedys. So when people bring it up to me, I'm like, no, I'm not a Kennedy. They're a Skagal. Like, you know.

But it's a weird family. Like, you know, like, and it probably is extended. I have two brothers and two sisters on the baby. We all get along.

We love each other. But we're not like incredibly close. But we love each other. And I think I saw that side of my dad and his sister one day when we're at the Bel-Air Hotel, I was having the $24 burger with fries that most of you would have to save up for a week to eat.

And my dad's drinking or whatever. And the waiter comes over and goes, Mr. Skagal, your sister's over there. She'd like to come over and say hello.

And my dad just looks at the waiter and goes, nah. Like, what family does the sister have to go through a waiter to say hello to her brother? Like, so that's how I was raised. Like, you know, not a terribly close, like, Walton's type of atmosphere.

Yeah. So it's probably extended to my current family where we love each other. But we literally are in a room with each other every two years. How often do you talk to your siblings?

You said you have four siblings? Two brothers, two sisters. You know, our hours are so incredibly weird and bizarre that right now it's what, 5 PM, something in that nature. This is like noon for us.

Yeah, this is early. We haven't started our night yet. Yeah, like, we're just kind of getting up and doing our thing. My sister, Virginia, she lives in Squim, Washington.

She's like the mayor of the town. She probably has been up since five in the morning. And she's got kids and she's got teachers and her husband's in the construction business. They've probably been up for 12 hours.

So it's hard to like, when do I call them? I can't call them at night. They're probably about to go to bed or already asleep. It's the same with my other, they all pretty much have kids and stuff.

So they have their own lives. And at 10 o'clock at night tonight, I'll be like, who can I call? Right. Jeremiah, you only really call other comics because you can't call normal people at 10 at night.
