Oh, I got a deep breath is just centering myself before we you know, I'm almost there. Okay, just give me just give me a quick second. I gotta get to the podcast. Just real quick, just let me get to the podcast from Dr.

there it is. Okay, let's let's meditate together real quick, Dean. Oh, yeah. By the way, this goes good with the micro dose and other micro dose and must have you been micro dosing lately?

Dude, how's that been? Love it, dude? Yeah, love it. Took a little bath this morning.

Yeah, kids makes the Uber ride smooth out. Oh man, it's it's it's a real treat Uber rides. Yeah, when you're when you're micro dosing. I don't mind their terrible music to plan.

I just back there like you phase it out. These kids like some weird shit. And I just stare out the window. You got your own playlist to have a plan.

Absolutely. I start singing along too. Yeah. You also know the lyrics to the bad songs.

How does this even happen? Yeah, I was like, you know, I don't even know what they're playing. Once I want to get some good music done. I don't know.

Like this guy gets a dollar tip for him. I don't feel like a king. Yeah, do a dollar, dude. Get yourself some nuggets.

Do go get yourself a big goal player. Yep. Yep. Yeah, there was a one Uber driver that I've asked maybe one or two Uber drivers.

I'm like, what are you playing? Yeah, and it was this a it was this French guy who's playing like some French New Wave techno that was just dope. I had a woman driving yesterday. I got in.

She didn't even ask if this was okay. You know, they got this. Okay. I was just in.

So she's listening to NPR. Oh, and it was a segment and you guys can look this up. I'm sure about a woman who had part of her brain cut out because she had depression and they put some shockers on there. You I guess you wear like a pot battery pack or whatever.

Every little depression. Just give yourself a little blast. It's not like I'll stick to micro dosing. Yeah.

She had part of a brand. And so I'm riding in the car here in this. I got this is the gloomyest shit ever. Yep.

I don't need to. I got off a flight like super early in the morning Sunday morning after a weekend of gigs. I was exhausted and my Uber driver had it was NPR on and they were talking just all the political stuff. And I was like, do you mind if we change it?

I'm like not in the mood to hear this right now. NPR like it's good, but it's also depressing. Sometimes of course it is so serious. It's so much just serious news.

Just straight at you. And the way it's recorded. It's like you could tell the person's not in the room with them. Yeah.

Like floating questions. Oh, yeah. It's like they're yeah. They'll come in and the woman will be like, so then you got part of your brain cut out on and then it'll be a positive.

They went to the doctor and they did the surgery. It's going like this is a magic. It's like a bad documentary. They just got mailed to them.

I don't need it. In the hour. I'm gonna get right up on those mics on NPR. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I'm in your pet and I just want to know where that pocket press is that you do it. I had to throw it away. Yeah.

What happened? You got married and that was the thing? No, I like just got kind of gross. Oh, yeah.

I still have one left. I had the box. I had three no, I had three at once. I had a greedy bastard.

I had a vagina. I had a butthole. And then I had to do it yourself is called like a sure shot or something like that where it's like an apple core. You just like are doing this with it.

I think there's some guys out there that want an ear. Oh, yeah. I saw one Dean. Oh, I have seen that.

It's so gross. Just like the top just rubber foot. I saw that somebody. Somebody has like Josh Wolf or somebody like post it.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean stuff. He posted something today where I got got crashed off a bridge trying to suck his own dick.

Yeah. Dude, there were so many people that tagged red band in that because he claimed on an episode of a show that he could suck his own dick and we're like, what? Yeah. And he got on stage and just started like leaning down like this.

And he wasn't even close. Oh, yeah. And he's like, no, I can do it. Look.

Well, maybe when it was like 14. Yeah. Yeah. And then but I asked his girlfriend, Janice, and she she confirmed it.

I was like, what? Oh, man, I got to see that. I don't want to suck my dick. I'll suck my own.

Yeah. See you later. Rollin over. It's just stuck my own.

Yeah. That's a good bumper sticker. I suck my own dick. It's like my own dick.

I don't know how we got into that. I think just the flashlight stuff. It got into that. Dude, I've been holding on to a story that I've been waiting to tell you on my podcast because I was going to tell you on your podcast and we literally finished recording.

I was like, Oh, I forgot to say it. I own the story like two years. It's been years. Wow.

So Dean and I used to gig a lot together out on the road. Even when you were even featuring, you'd have me you'd convince the headliner to have me MC or open. Yeah. And I was featuring for Dean one weekend in Arizona.

And it was a one-nighter. Oh, yeah. It didn't feel like I had to go home. I'm the headliner.

He's laying down the travel schedule. You don't do that. He's like, Oh, by the way, I got to come back the same night for a commercial audition. I'm like, dude, with this great hotel and an old like rad building.

Oh my god, zero sleep. Oh, the absolute worst. Great show. Great show.

So Dean obviously is doing this because we've been good buddies a long time. He's like, all right, man, I guess. Like I guess I'll do this. But like in any other circumstances, the headliner would have been like, you're crazy.

That's not happening. Oh, yeah. I just tried to arm with Delia. He'd be like, what?

See you later. Yeah. Yeah. So we have to basically wake up at four o'clock in the morning.

Oh, no, the show ended at like two o'clock to and we ate something and then laid down for 30 minutes, 30 minutes. And we didn't even sleep because we knew we'd just be out. And what was the commercial even for? Well, it was for it was it was a theatrical edition.

It was like some it was for some guess R or something. I'm like, I haven't got any guests on bullshit that I didn't get. I wasn't going to get cut in on the money at all. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Where's that residual check? Dean residual.

Yeah. We have the nice hotel. So Dean, obviously, he's not in the best mood in the morning because we're dead hired and we're not in the morning. It's we're still awake in the middle of the night.

And it's hard. It's a six hour. It's a solid six hour. That's with no traffic.

And I just did an hour. We drove there. By the way, first we drove there during the day. Then we at that time, do we lose an hour or something to?

Yeah. Yeah. So like, is that time of year? Yeah, we drove there all day, six hours.

Then I ran an hour then met fans and stuff and then we laid down for a minute and left again, or zero. So I'm driving back in the car. And Dean is kind of going in and out of sleep. And on the way back, I like need to let one lose.

I need to fart while Dean is in the passenger seat. And I let one go. And I was like, hmm, that was a little funky, whatever. Hopefully Dean doesn't wake up from the smell or whatever.

Right? Yeah. So I go to get gas. And Dean is like completely knocked out.

And I get up out of my seat and I put gas in the car and go inside and pay. And when I sit back down in the car, I realized that I had crap. My pants like two hours ago. So I had to make a split decision.

I was like, do I go inside the bathroom of the gas station and clean myself up or just and I picked a ladder. I just, I just, I wouldn't have noticed because this car was such a piece of shit. By the way, this was it. You still got that accurate.

So he had this accurate. And he was like, Oh, this is my baby. This is like a pre-mo man. It's a bicycle.

And again, it's just a piece of shit. And so even if he shit his pants in there, you're not going to smell it because the interior is all moldy. No, it's got some Tennessee leather. That's got that Kansas leather, man.

It was pleather. And it was definitely a pleather jacket. It's like so to the cloth seating. So you should have pants.

So I grabbed my pants and I sat in it and I drove another three, four hours with you in the passenger seat and I asked you, if you woke up, I go, I go, Dean, I have to sleep. And you go, Oh, it's horrible. We changed in lanes every second. Oh, yeah.

You go, Hey, guys, I couldn't sleep. I felt like I was a baby in a box car the whole time. You go, what were you doing? And I was, the reason I was changing lanes, I was literally, I was falling asleep at the wheel and I kept changing lanes to keep my energy level up.

So I kept like going in between cars and everything. I just say, fuck you for that. We could have died. And you would add pants shit.

Everything like, I don't know what happened here. Maybe they're having sex and he just left them dirty. He wrote him dirty. Oh, we'd be on Josh Wolf's Instagram.

Rod and dirty. Yeah. This is what happens when you go nuts about actually. What happened in a car?

I remember somebody hit it. Yeah. I remember somebody. Yeah.

And I didn't have enough money to, I needed other things fixed on his home. I ended up getting new tires on it. And I just like, instead of fixing the door. Remember, what do you drive now?

It's a Honda CRZ. It's like, yeah. Yeah, it's so cars. Yeah, dude.

So many years ago, my favorite was when you just wear that red blazer and Ian and I were like, Oh man, we went out and did that college show. Yep. At Irvine. Yeah.

Was it like you see Irvine? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Something like that. It was actually pretty good. You were hosting, I think. Were you hosting?

Great show. Yeah. Or were you just opening? I was one of the openers.

I think like Grant Cotter or somebody was like, yeah, set it up for us. And Jeremiah had this dumb red blazer. And it was, it looked like when you were at the movies as an usher in the 80s. Oh, right.

That's why I'm a dick. Like that one guy rad on fast times ticket, please. You know, and it was way oversized. And Ian and I were like, we've come to the conclusion.

It's time for a funeral for the blazer. And we were like, gonna burn it. And he's like, no man, you can't be this my I do every show in there. And look out your career.

It took off after you got rid of the blazer. It's true, man. It was one of those weird things where I thought that that was going to be one of the things that separated me. I thought, you know what I mean?

Like, I thought that that was going to be the thing that like, oh, it's going to set me apart for my competition. Like that whole thing. Like it's going to give me a look, you know, a signature thing. Are your neighbors bowling right now?

Yeah, I think so. He's got a dog up there. Whoa. Oh, I would be so out of here.

Well, I've got a dog named saxophone. Yeah. I never say anything. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. Man, I'll tell you it's a part.

I'm working on a bit right now where it's crazy to hear that because I'm so like, oh, I've been screwed in two apartments. Yeah. You've had some bad luck with some apartments. So brutal.

So I'm trying to do a bit right now. Like I feel like they should, if you go to an electronic store and you're going to buy a surround sound system, they need the idea. So the idea and they go, this is the studio apartment, dude. Headphones.

Yeah. Like no surround sound allowed in apartments. Yeah. You can't have surround sound lifestyle in an apartment.

Yeah. Watching like a Christopher Nolan film, just like the walls. That was it. Neighbors just watching Batman.

This is the scarecrow that's calling him from the scarecrow from Batman begins. Yes, you pay to a Shrinn't. Please have no ease. Sorry, scarecrow.

I'll try to keep it down. That's I think that's the voicing I had when you hear a neighbor. Oh my God. Finally, after three years got a place that's just primo and I'm going to end up completely broke from it.

But I'm like, but it's going to be an investment though. You said there's like an area for podcast studios. Yeah. Yeah.

But the thing is it's like the reality is here's the problem. I'm 53 years old and it's like you've turned he turned into that guy that says there's no good music anymore. I'm more like, I remember when the rent was 750. Yeah.

And you have to realize and this is how I look at it. It's like I scored for like 30 years. Yeah. And I'm kind of fucked now because in my mind, I'm like, man, this place here, Jeremiah lives in would be 750 right back in the day.

And now I decide so you're just screwed when you think that. Yeah, you get in a particular mindset and then you're like, Oh, I'm not growing like with the current, like where the marketplace is at all. Like dude, like my wife was looking at because she wants a bigger place eventually and I'm like, well, hopefully, but she was looking at different places and the market has gone up so much that like everything like for two bedroom, like in LA, it's over two grand easily. Yeah.

Yeah. But here's how you get rid of that mindset and this right here. Just go live in New York and then you come back and like, man, this is cheap. Oh, yeah.

I'll take this. Yeah. But don't come from fucking dumb Kansas like you because then you're like, you know, your mom, you're gonna have to hear your mom all the time. You know, Jeremiah, you can have a mortgage for your plan out there.

And it's like, we'll be able to pay that mortgage because I'd be working at the Walmart. Yeah. But also the trade off like you always say is like, but you also have to live there. Yeah.

Yeah. The people complain. I'm like, Bakersfield's a dollar. No one's running out there.

Yeah. No one. Yeah. It's insane.

Yeah. I did. I did like one comedy show on Bakersfield and I was like, Oh, like right after I was like, yeah, I'm going right back. Oh, yeah.

We got your room. No, you can do it. Can I take the money inside? I don't need to be stabbed in the hotel.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah.

When I started comedy, they don't really have them anymore. But like seven years ago or whatever, you would just go up and down the five in the 99 and do these one-nighters all over. Modesto Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, you know, all the way to Sacramento and back. Yeah.

You would do that shit every night. I have this drive back on a motor. Oh, dude. You were the king of finding this.

Oh, man. People would just hit me. Yeah. Hey, we got it.

You became known as that guy. Yeah. It was like, yeah, I'll hop on my bike. I'll be right there.

And I'd burn out there. I was doing one when it was a, it was in Bakersfield and I was going over the five. It was like, it was like 65 degrees. I did a spot at the improv at like eight and I was headline in Bakersfield at 11.

So I got this. So it was like 65. But then as I got up to the top of the grapevine, it was snowing. Oh, no.

Actually snowing. It was freezing. It was dead winter. But you don't think about winter when you live in here.

Like I'm just going to Bakersfield. Yeah. I was freezing. My thumbs were frozen from hanging off the sides.

And I was like, I'm going to die for this $36. I'm going up, but I'm getting to run an hour. Yeah. That's all I get to the bottom of the hill.

And I get that pull up. It's a sports bar. Oh, man. Raider games going on.

So you got Raider, Raider trash. And there's like seven people and the Raider game just ends. And because we're going to start to show now, I'm like, Oh, man, I can I go first? And he goes, yeah, I did like 30 minutes to pay me.

I was back on the bike, back up into the snow, frozen thumbs again. Oh, brutal. Dude, some of those early gigs that we did were so rough. Oh, man.

Do you remember that one that we did? Was it in Huntington Beach or it was somewhere in like a beach town kind of area? And there was maybe three people in there, but we had to fill the time to get paid. Which one was that one?

No, dude, it was like, like you're getting paid like to headline like 150 bucks. And I think I was like getting paid like 50 bucks a feature or something like that. So we drove down there together. And we literally there's three people in there and the bar obviously is not happy because the promoter who said that they were going to get people there didn't they had already agreed on the set price.

And he's looking at us like, you guys want to do the show? And we're like looking at each other like we need money. Yeah, we did. So we ended up doing like Dean called me up during his set and we started doing karaoke with some of the other people in the bar.

Just to fill the time, dude. Oh, it was so brutal. I do remember when Biddle come and I did though, theater and Anaheim. Theater was show up a theater.

Seven people. Oh, no. And in the back, they had costumes because they put on plays. Yeah.

So Biddle and I just put on giant costumes. I wear that hat. That's so funny. Backstage and dude, and we did that.

I did the hour for seven people. Johnson Azer was the guy who was in that. It was Justin. I had done that.

That's it. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I did that gig. And that was one of the last times that I wore a graphic tee on stage on a show because somebody was drunk and I was wearing those blazer era of Jeremiah blazer and a before and after Blazer.

Oh, you still got that fucking thing? Yeah, dude. Where is it? Go get it real quick.

Just put that thing on for the rest of the podcast. It's so hot. Come on. Just do it, dude, for comedy.

Oh, Jeremiah. All right, man. All right. I'll go get it.

But Holy shit. Dean, you got to host while I go get it. So I can't. I'll do some singing.

Yeah, do some singing play with some effects. You're over there. This is the Bee Gees effect, which is a beach is one of my favorite. If you never got into a Saturday night fever, you're out of your mind.

But here we go. Look at the what the fuck it's even bigger than I remember. I've lost weight since then. Oh, so Ellen 80s Ellen.

It's truly, especially now, like with my new haircut, it's even more Ellen. Oh my God, dude. It's giant. Where the fuck did you buy that thing?

You would never believe it a salvation army in Kansas. Of course, I would believe that we had to find that's exactly what you know. That's exactly what you guys in the background like, look at this dick. Look at this guy getting this guy getting this.

And it wasn't even Halloween. You just went in like a Jew. I was that weird hipster getting Kansas that loved those old jackets and stuff. I love old jackets too, but once they fit, they're cool.

I have such long arms. I was just stoked that it reached my wrist. And I was like, this is this is a fit. Oh my God.

Every fucking show. This was in a backpack. It was rolled up. Oh yeah.

And a matter of fact, one time they said, Hey, you're on next because someone was late and he's like, Oh, my blazer. And we're like, dude, just go on. No, no, I gotta get the blazer. I like ran upstairs.

Like put it on real quick. Oh, I can't believe I can't wait till Ian. I know you didn't want watches. But if he did, he'd be like that goddamn blazer.

Oh, dude. Dude, you Ian and and and Barry Sobel. Yeah. Three people that were like, if you don't retire this, it's going to deeply affect your career.

Absolutely. And I was just being serious. You guys were actually being good friends. You're looking out for me because you're like, Hey, man, like here's the thing.

Your comedy is great. You're working hard. You're doing all the right things. But we got to talk to you about your look.

Yeah. That blazer, you got to get rid of it. You got to put it to rest. And also it was the same thing that Ian did to me like two years in.

I thought I was killing. I was I was getting massive laughs and stuff, but he just pulled me aside and said, Hey, man, that material is bullshit. And he was right. And I took a year to just bombing and it was hard not to go back to the dude.

You know that works. Oh, yeah. I remember at a Winnie the Poob it. Yeah, I think you'll remember it.

Yeah, I killed and Tony Baker had a Winnie the Poob it also. So it was crazy because he and I were good friends and started together. So at the time you're like, Oh, Tony's here. He's going to do his way to the poo who's on the you know, like you'll have like four bits.

Of course. Yeah. You lose one of your go to crush your bits. Yeah.

That's a bit. Yeah. That's and then had that Bobby King of the Hill bit and it did a bunch of dumb shit, you know. Yeah.

Yeah. That's not I'm doing bits about funeral slash flea markets I want to put on. Yeah. Old different game now.

Old different. You may have to talk about whatever you want now. Yeah. Is there more season?

Yeah, exactly. Dude, I honestly don't know if I'm going to be able to wear this. The you have to. Just for the torture.

It's just it's so hot. Like this is literally giving me flashbacks of me committing so hard and doing so many act outs that we're not working on stage. It means like, Holly Esther. Yeah, dude.

This is brutal. I remember when you're act out in this you would what was that? Oh, you did a like a Guns N' Roses one, right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Well, because I did the GNR too. Yeah. And it's interesting that how old Guns N' Roses is.

But the they're so big that the premise was still work right now. Oh, yeah. It was one of those things where yeah, I haven't done it because of one of those things where it's like, you know, you try to do more and more updated stuff as the years go on or whatever. But it was a it was Guns N' Roses doing an ad for little Caesars.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And mine was mine was the Nets, the Betz. Yeah.

The Axaros, the gift that kept giving. I know. Well, you're a big, you're a big GNR guy. Yeah.

Yep. I do have GNR. But you know, it's funny. It's uh, uh, I don't know.

I don't listen to it as much now because I think after like whatever 88 that came out, it's been listening to so long that I'm like, I think I'm good. Yeah, you're like, I think I got it now. I think I'm good. Yeah.

He imagined this listening to a record like every other day for 25 years. Oh, what do you listen to right now? Like, what are some bands you've got into recently? Oh, I just listen to so much new stuff.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I just, uh, I love this guy Marcus King. I, you know, it's funny because I put it all in my phone because it's so, so much great new music that people, you know, they ask me all the time.

I got to, I love this, uh, the Pilgrim, this band, the Pilgrim. If you're into kind of cool desert rock, then Kramer, if you're into kind of beat, beatles kind of jellyfish band and this guy Chris Forsyth. It's every day I get new music, uh, recommendations or I find it and I'm blown away. I'm blown away.

Well, you've, you know, you've kind of established yourself as like that rock and roll comedian. So I feel like a lot of people want to connect with you on that level and be like, Hey, like, if you appreciate this, like I've heard you talk about how much you like this band. Yeah, I got a suggestion that's going to blow you away. Yeah.

It's, I'll tell you what, there is a band yesterday, everybody was hitting me on it. I'm not going to say who it is because I always say promote what's great. Now we hate right, but people, and it's really interesting that people, um, they look, hey, you're taking the blazer off. Yeah.

What are you doing? I got to take it off. You know what? Like, come on.

I literally can't do it. There is the, it's so hot. It's so hot underneath these lights. You don't have a C or is it because of the sound?

So there's a sound. It's like, you're so, oh, well, we got the dog walking upstairs. Oh, that actually doesn't show up on the mics. Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah. You know what's funny about this jacket now is I do a character on Kill Tony that originated from my act and it's this 80s comedian character. Yeah.

And it's very like a one line. Is it based on a Jim Carrey? No, it's a, it's based on kind of like, uh, like corny, like kind of one liner 80s, like, yeah, like the milkman came by and they're not like some kind of one guy and it's goofy. Yeah, like, whoa, you know, that kind of thing.

So there's a character named Zippy that I've this comedian wears. I've got like a big blonde Afro and I wear that jacket and a little Easter egg for the people out there who know that character that is the red. It's from the red jacket that I used to literally wear on stage that they just made me put on on those podcasts every set. He's spoofing himself.

Yeah. He doesn't character of himself from six years ago. He's calling it an 80s comic, but it's really six years ago. It's really just Jeremiah six years ago.

Like, what I thought was like the right path for me. Irvine. Yeah. I love it.

Oh my God. Anyway, so somebody sent me over there a bunch of people sent me over this band all at once. And I had heard of the band like months ago. Yeah.

And people think that if you like guns and roses, that you just like the entire 80s genre, you know, like, Oh, yeah, well, you like this and that. You know, and it's like, no, man, this is you can't put guns and roses up against all the other bands. That's why they're still around. Yeah, because they had great songs and they were dangerous and shit.

It's not that people have confused it with just the sound and the flavor, you know, all right, come on here with a fucking hair. You know, I didn't like any of that. I was Jane's addiction guns and roses, Aerosmith bands with like great songs and stuff. So they sent me over this band yesterday, everybody.

And I was just, I was actually like, God, you don't get it. You don't get it. Well, I'm thinking you'd like this. It's like 80s.

It's like, no, no, I have an idea of who the band might be. But yeah, interesting. Oh, yeah. Well, we'll talk off.
