Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Personal Updates and Movie Musings

• Jeremy checks in with listeners about his ongoing recovery from a broken back, making light of his pain-relief routine.
• He shares his excitement about finally catching "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," describing it as “awesome, awesome movie” [04:15], and enjoys the hype and packed atmosphere of a late-night screening even if he and his companion, Braden, had to endure front-row neck strain.
• Jeremy admits he hasn’t seen the latest "New Avengers" but confirms you won’t be lost if you see the new "Spider-Man" first.

2. The Hilariously Disastrous Colombia Movie Theater Incident

[07:58] – [11:18]
Jeremy presents his “Laugh With Me Reports” segment on the Cartagena, Colombia screening where hundreds evacuated due to an unbearable odor.

• The Setup:
  • The report: “Spider-Man has finally encountered a villain he cannot defeat with web shooters—and that would be flatulence.” [08:20]
  • Describes how the incident started like any energetic premiere before being “derailed by…an act of terrorism against the human respiratory system.” [08:44]
• The Details:
  • The stench forced not just mild grumbling, but a true mass flight—“You know, this was—apparently, we got to get the fuck out of here. That’s not a fart, okay?” [08:53]
  • Jeremy jokes about a man in a Spider-Man suit among the evacuees: “Imagine being Spider-Man, getting your ass kicked by ass. That’s humiliating.” [10:09]

3. Movie Fart Etiquette and Past Misdeeds

[11:18] – [13:20]

• Personal Confession:
  Jeremy admits to past youthful mischief—deliberately farting at a "Titanic" screening with a friend for laughs and earning the scorn of theatergoers. Now, he says, “As an adult…I totally get it. We’re just trying to watch a movie.” [11:27]
• On Fart Severity:
  “That means the fart wasn’t just localized. It had range. Okay, that’s not a fart. That’s an entire weather system.” [12:44]
• On Social Dynamics:
  Paints a scene where “you cannot negotiate with a terrorist. You cannot negotiate with a fart,” lampooning both the incident and human stubbornness. [13:36]

4. Amateur Detective Work—Who Dealt It?

[14:00] – [16:02]

• Jokes that the culprit remains unidentified: “We have a genuine mystery on our hands, like who dropped the bomb?” [13:50]
• Wonders about the perpetrator’s inner thoughts: “You know what you did.” [14:19]
• On the magnitude: “The title of the movie is Spider Man: Brand New Day, and that’s perfect because those people definitely had a brand new day…they came out thinking, I have survived biological warfare.” [14:38]

5. Jeremy’s Theories

[19:32] – [21:00]

• #1: Accidental—some “questionable” pre-movie meal, perhaps from “a food truck that came with a warning label.” [15:44]
• #2: Deliberate—maybe “fart spray”: “That’s not comedy. That’s a declaration of war.” [19:36]
• #3: What if… it was actually Spider-Man? “Maybe Peter Parker wasn’t protecting his identity. Maybe he was protecting the public.” [19:57]

6. Rules of Movie Theater Flatulence

[20:32] – [22:00]

• “Rule number one, if it’s silent and harmless, you walk away with your dignity.” [20:33]
• “Rule number two, if it makes a sound… Option A, pretend it wasn’t you. Option B, you gotta own it. That’s respect. That’s leadership.” [20:39]
• “If you release something so powerful that people start evacuating, okay? You don’t get to leave. You have to stay. You have to face your victims.” [20:47]
• Memorable quote:
  “You cannot negotiate with a terrorist. You cannot negotiate with a fart.” [13:36]

7. Cultural Differences and Imagined Responses

[22:00] – [23:34]

• Suggests Americans would’ve handled the incident differently, launching Facebook groups, posting blurry photos, building suspect profiles (“Possible suspect sitting in row G… breaking: Suspect may have consumed three chili dogs.”) [21:33]
• The challenge for movie theater staff:
  “You went to work that day expecting to sell popcorn. Now you’re standing in an empty theater trying to determine whether a human asshole has become a public safety hazard.” [23:04]

8. Movie Theater Innovation: Smell-O-Vision (Not Recommended!)

[23:03] – [23:29]

• Jeremy quips about the possibility of "Smell-O-Vision" as dubious progress:
  “We’ve got 3D, we’ve got IMAX, we got that Dolby Atmos, and now Smell-O-Vision—except nobody orders it.” [23:13]

9. Closure and Reflection

[24:45] – [25:29]

• “One thing we do need to remember…is that it did happen. On one fateful night in Colombia, Spider-Man met his greatest enemy…and it wasn’t Doc Ock. It was the human ass.” [24:46]
• Jeremy closes with light self-reflection on his past as a “movie theater farter” but affirms his reformed ways—“ever since then, I’ve respected it, the movie theater going experience.” [25:30]

Summary Tone and Style

Jeremy Odom blends stand-up storytelling with editorial comedy. His tone is irreverent, deeply self-aware, and unafraid of leaning into the awkward, gross, or even taboo—all in the pursuit of communal laughter and shared human experience.

Final Word:
This episode might revolve around something as silly as flatulence, but Odom transforms it into a celebration of public embarrassment, community, and the unending comedy of real life—all through the lens of movie fandom and a never-ending search for humor in the everyday.

“If the world won’t sing, then let it laugh with me.”

[Nick Turturro]

And I'm your host.

[Laugh With Me Podcast - Jeremy Odom (Narration)]

Jeremy stares at the stats, hands shaking over takeout boxes. Johnny's already mapping hotels on a napkin with greasy crosses. They quit jobs. They kinda hate it. Tell their bosses, catch the show. Boss just shrugs. Hope it's funny. Johnny grins, you'll never know.

[Renee Stubbs]

Tastes cheap.

[Jeremy Odom]

Jo and Johnny, I don't know how many more words we can put in that intro before I pull back and tell them that I'm the host. That's. It's starting to get a little, a little ridiculous, Johnny. But I appreciate all your hard work there putting, putting this together. Thank you to Johnny Palermo, our producer.

[Iris Palmer]

We.

[Jeremy Odom]

He doesn't get nearly enough credit for the work he does here at Laugh With Me, so thank you, John. That's for me. Well, I'm still, I'm still healing a little bit from my broken back. You know, it's, it's tough. It's tough. A little, little issue sleeping. But the muscle relaxer that I have been prescribed and the, and the patch, it's like a lidocaine like patch you put over where the broken rib is. Like, that's, that kind of helps. I don't know if any of y' all have ever had to use these, but man, it, it actually does make you just a little more comfortable. And let's let you forget about the pain for at least a little bit. It's pain, but more like discomfort, you know, helps you forget about the discomfort for just a little bit longer. Well, it is Friday. It's that happy hour. We're getting ready for the weekend. Yeah, baby. We're getting ready for the weekend. Now one thing I have done in the last week that we're gonna talk about today is I saw the movie Spider Man. Brand new day. Awesome movie. Number one movie in America. In America. Not. And not just America. Number, Number one movie in the world. Exciting for people to get hyped for the Marvel Universe again because, boy, sure, I haven't even seen that, that new Avengers movie yet. Not the, not the newest Avengers movie. It's called New Avengers. I, I have not seen that one Yet. But from what I had read, I wouldn't be lost if I watched Spider man first before I go back and watch that one, which. So that's what I did. You got to go see the Spider man, right? When was a new Tom Holland action movie out and. Awesome movie. Awesome, awesome movie. But what we have found is that some people and that mean, like I said, this is the number one movie in the world right now. What we have found is not every theater experience has been great. Now, ours was awesome. Okay. Braden and I went to see Spider Man. Brand New day. It was a late showing. It was like a 10:15pm showing that night. It came out and it was a packed theater. We had to sit up front. I don't like to sit up front. I mean, strut, you know, kind of have to look up the whole time instead of forward at the big ass screen. I'm looking up, over and across. It's like it's a whole thing. Braden. Braden said, oh, it. It didn't even. It didn't even bother him. Sitting up front. Sitting up front wasn't that bad. I could still see everything. And yeah, you could see everything. But you're moving. You know, your head's moving up, it's moving side to side. You're trying to catch everything that's going on. The next time we see this movie, we'll be looking dead on at it. I guarantee we're gonna see things that we hadn't seen before. And that's just because we're working. You know, our neck, our head, it's working just to see what's going on. Now. The movie theater experience itself was really good. Packed crowd. Everybody was enjoying the movie. Everybody making noise at the right times. It was awesome. Popcorn, pop, good to go. But what we're going to talk about today, Friday happy hour, we. We're gonna dig in. We have ourselves a brand new Laugh with me reports. It's because in Colombia, the movie theater experience wasn't so great. Seeing Spider man this week. And we're. We're gonna dig right into that right now as we get ready for, once again, a brand new Laugh with me reports. Hello, folks. I'm Jeremy Oddoman. Tonight we are going to Colombia because apparently Spider man has finally encountered a villain he cannot defeat with web shooters. And that would be flatulence. That's right. A movie theater in Cartagena, Colombia, had to evacuate a screening of Spider Man, Brand New Day after an audience member allegedly released a smell so horrific that hundreds of people had to actually abandon the Theater. And I want you to understand something. This wasn't a simple, hey, somebody farted. This wasn't a little. Okay. And everybody kind of looks around. Who did that? No, this. You know, this was. Apparently, we got to get the fuck out of here. That's not a fart, okay? That's an act of terrorism against the human respiratory system. Like, if you're. If the smell that comes out of that ass is so bad that an entire theater of people have to immediately run. My guy, that's not just a fart. So here's what happened. The incident reportedly happened during a screening at the Sina Colombia multiplex inside Plaza Boca Grande in Cartagena.

[Nick Turturro]

Okay?

[Jeremy Odom]

Everything normal. Night people hyped for Spider Man. Tom Holland doing his Spider man things. Zendaya, of course, she was on screen, right? People eating their popcorn, just loving life. Somebody was probably texting during the movie. Because you. Apparently, you can't just watch a movie without having to tell people what you're watching. Apparently, there's things going on outside the theater that require your attention now, and you can't just go into a movie for a couple of hours and enjoy life. Have you noticed that? I digress. People are watching the Spider man, and then, boom, the smell hit. According to reports, the odor became so overwhelming that hundreds of moviegoers evacuated the auditorium. But here's my favorite part. There was reportedly a guy in a Spider man costume among the people fleeing the theater. Imagine being Spider man, getting your ass kicked by ass. That's humiliating. Like, you can fight Green goblin. You got Dr. Octopus down pat. You could even fight Venom. But this you can't stop. Dr. Colon, you know, Spider man has something called a spider sense, right? Where he can just kind of. The hair on the back of his neck kind of rises and he can. He can sense something's wrong. It's supposed to warn him when danger's coming. But apparently his spider sense this time went, danger, Danger. Somebody ate the wrong thing. And Spider man himself probably looked around and thought, something's coming, and then realized, yeah, it ain't coming from the screen. How bad was this fart? Now, I've been to movie theaters, and I've experienced movie farts. In fact, I've been a part of. Of movie farts. Okay? And I'm.

[Yamaneika Saunders]

I'm not.

[Jeremy Odom]

I'm not here to tell you that story today. Although it was a time watching Titanic, and my buddy Travis and I, we thought it'd be funny to just be ripping ass through the quiet parts of the movie. Yeah, people in front of us. Did not appreciate that. I'm gonna tell you that right now. They stood up and said, trying to watch the movie. And I don't blame them as an adult now. And. And frankly, I was not an adult back then, so. So let's just. Let's just go ahead and put that aside right now, okay? Now as an adult, I totally get it. We're in there. We're just trying to watch a movie. This wasn't your ordinary two teenage kids with the. With theater farts. No, it wasn't a simple. You're sitting there watching a movie, and suddenly you smell something, and everybody knows what happened, but nobody says anything. Okay, being civilized. You're just sitting there thinking, maybe that smell goes away. That's the optimism of it. That's how people die, though, because the smell gets worse. And eventually you're sitting there thinking, okay, either someone just shit themselves or the popcorn machine has become sentinent. But the incident apparently went beyond that. Okay, this wasn't maybe a bad popcorn machine. People didn't just change seats. They didn't cover their noses, and they didn't whisper. Dude, did you smell that? Okay, this was worst. They evacuated hundreds of people. That means the fart wasn't just localized. It had range. Okay, that's not a fart. That's an entire weather system. Thank you, Johnny. He's missed all my other. I've had some punchlines in here, Johnny. I. Top of the episode. I give you all this credit. Come through for me, buddy. Come through for me one time. Back to the report. Think about being in that theater. You're watching Spider Man. Suddenly that smell hits. Someone gets up. Then another person gets up. Then 20 people get up. Now you have a hundred people that cannot handle this. Eventually, the whole theater standing in the hallway, there's only one person who doesn't want to leave. There's always that guy. He's just sitting there like, I'm not. I paid $17 for this movie, sir. You cannot negotiate with a terrorist. You cannot negotiate with a fart. The fart doesn't care about your ticket price. The fart doesn't care about rotten tomatoes, okay? The fart doesn't care that you've been waiting three years for this new Tom Holland banger. The fart has one goal, and that's to empty the building. But here's where the story gets interesting. The person responsible was reportedly never identified, which means we have a genuine mystery on our hands, like who dropped the bomb? Was it an accident? Was it intentional? Was it some poor bastard who'd been holding it in since the previews. Like, we'll never know who dropped the bomb. And I don't want to accuse anybody, but let's be honest. There was a person in that theater who knew. Like, they know right now. They're probably sitting at home right now watching the news, maybe even hearing this report. And when the reporter says hundreds of people were evacuated after a mysterious odor, they're just sitting on the couch like, wow, that is crazy. Like, you know what you did? You think they're just googling theater evacuation in Columbia and just loving all this attention. Spider Man. The title of this movie is Spider Man Brand new day. And that's perfect because those people definitely had a brand new day. They went into that theater thinking, I'm going to enjoy a superhero movie, the next marvel. They came out thinking, I have survived biological warfare. The movie should have been called Spider man no way Home. Because after that smell, there was no way anybody was going home without burning their clothes. Now, because I'm a journalist, and by journalist, I mean a guy sitting in the basement right now talking to a microphone, I've developed some theories, okay? Theory number one. The person probably ate something questionable before the movie. Maybe some beans, possibly eggs. I mean, we've all been there, right? Maybe something from a food truck that came with a warning label. You ever eat something where halfway through you're like, I'm going to regret this. And then your stomach says, not halfway through. I'm talking about during the credits. I mean, I've lived it. I live it on a daily basis where I've eaten something and I'm like, ah, this. This ain't it, guys. This ain't it. So I can kind of relate to this, to this person, whoever you are.

[Jeremy Odom]

Theory number two, that it was deliberate. Maybe somebody bought like, that fart spray. And if that's the case, that's an incredible commitment to being an. Because you didn't just ruin a movie, you ruined the movie for hundreds of people, okay? That's not comedy. That's a declaration of war. And this scene, that seems like a very likely case here. Theory number three, that it actually was Spider Man. Okay? Think about it. Nobody knows where Spiderman came from. Nobody knows where he went, and everybody knows Spider man has a mask. Maybe there's a reason for that. Maybe Peter Parker wasn't protecting his identity. Maybe he was protecting the public. A few theories out there for you. This all this incident also raises an important question. What are the rules when you fart in a movie theater? Because I think we need some. We need to set a certain level of guidelines. Rule number one, if it's silent and harmless, you walk away with your dignity.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay?

[Jeremy Odom]

Rule number two, if it makes a sound, you've got two options. Option A, pretend it wasn't you. Option B, you gotta own it. You gotta turn around and say, ladies and gentlemen, my apologies. That's respect. Okay? That's leadership. That's if you release something so powerful that people start evacuating, okay? You don't get to leave. You have to stay.

[Yamaneika Saunders]

You have to.

[Jeremy Odom]

You have to face your victims. And you need to walk into the hallway and say, I'm sorry it was me. Then everybody gets to decide whether you deserve to live. I mean, that's. That's living in a community of people, okay? That's living in a society. I got no beef with that. I also love that someone reportedly fled the theater while wearing a Spider man costume. That is the most hilarious image imaginable. Hundreds of people running for their lives and there's Spider man in the middle of them. Just imagine seeing that. You don't know what's happening. You just see Spider man sprinting down the hallway. At that point, you just don't ask questions, you run. You follow Spider Man. Okay? If Spider Man's running away, we're. Thank you, Johnny. You still miss some punch lines, but that. That's okay. You know what Americans would have done? It's a good thing this happened in Colombia. We would have immediately started investigating. Within five minutes, there had been a Facebook group called who farted at Spider Man? Columbia area people would be posting blurry photos. Anybody recognize this man? Possible suspect sitting in row G. Witness says he bought nachos at 7:14 breaking. Suspect may have consumed three chili dogs. And then some guy, maybe a guy named Randy, would comment. I know who it was, but Randy don't know. Randy wasn't even there. Randy lives 400 miles away. But okay, Randy knows. You always get those people. I imagine the theater staff had a very difficult conversation, though.

[Chelsea Handler]

Okay.

[Jeremy Odom]

You'd have somebody. Why? Why are people leaving? Next person. Well, I think there's a smell. What kind of smell? Well, I don't know. Is it chemical? No. Electrical? Well, no. Gas leak? Well, no. Well, then what is it? I think. I think somebody farted. That's not a sentence you want to say professionally. I mean, that's not the kind of sentence that makes you question your career.

[Sean Clements]

Okay.

[Jeremy Odom]

You went to work that day expecting to sell popcorn. Now you're standing in an empty theater trying to determine whether a human asshole has become a public safety hazard. Maybe this is the future. Have we ever considered this? We've got 3D, we've got IMAX, we got that Dolby Atmos, and now Smell O Vision. Except nobody orders it. Just imagine the movie theater advertisement experience Spider man like never before.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You.

[Jeremy Odom]

You won't just see the action, you'll smell the action. And then they'll come in with them. No refunds. The best part of this story is that the movie itself wasn't necessarily canceled. The movie theater was eventually aired out. And apparently some moviegoers decided they'd seen enough and maybe smelled enough, so they went home. And honestly, I respect that because there are moments in life when you have to just accept defeat. And you can't always finish what you started. Sometimes you just have to look at the situation and say, yeah, I'm not watching that final 45 of Spider man because there is something in the air that has made me question every decision I've made since birth. Somewhere in Colombia right now, there's a person walking around who knows that they caused an entire movie theater to evacuate. They'll never admit to this. Hopefully, they take that secret to the grave and that's probably for the best, because we don't need to know who did it. We don't need a name. We don't need a face. We don't need a big confession. We don't need to remember.

[Renee Stubbs]

Okay?

[Jeremy Odom]

One thing we do need to remember, though, is that it did happen on one fateful night in Columbia. Spider man met his greatest enemy. And it wasn't the Green Goblin, and it wasn't Venom, and it wasn't Dr. Ock. Doc Ock. It was the human ass. And unlike every other Spider man villain, this one couldn't be defeated with the web, ladies and gentlemen, that was Laugh with me. Tell you what I. Like I said, I have definitely, definitely been the movie theater farter before.

[Fred Armisen]

Okay?

[Jeremy Odom]

I don't know that I've ever publicly admitted to that. I've done it once on purpose. Once on purpose. And that was. It feels like a million years ago. Watching Titanic, Trav and I trying to build them up and let them fly. But that those people in front of us that were like, come on, we're trying to watch the movie, that really. That really sat with me every time I've seen a movie ever since, okay? This is no time for fun and games. This is time to sit and enjoy the art that has been given to us. And ever since then, I've respected it. I've respected the movie theater going experience ever since that day. But this. This guy, I'm gonna assume it's a guy in Colombia. I'm gonna go ahead and just put that on him. Man, this guy has taken it to an entirely another level. And to that fella, I say cheers. It has been the Friday happy hour. Laugh with me we'll see y' all next.
