Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Challenge of Stepping into the Roast Battle Arena

• Jeremy’s Excitement and Nerves

  • Jeremy emphasizes the personal challenge: stepping outside his comfort zone to compete in a Roast Battle for the first time ([03:01]–[04:56]).

  • He openly admits he lost, but is proud for trying:

    “I went in with a strategy, I executed it, and you know what? Hand up. I lost. And that’s okay. Because sometimes you can’t win, and you can’t win if you don’t try.” ([04:02]–[04:29])

  • He describes the format: a 16-seed, single elimination bracket, hosted by Caleb Salvatore ([05:23], [06:21]).

2. Preparing for the Battle

• Writing Jokes and Having a Strategy

  • Jeremy shares his approach for writing: some jokes tailored specifically for his opponent, Andy Wolf, and some general roasts that could apply to anyone ([06:21]–[08:24]).
  • Preparation involved researching Andy’s act and persona.

• Insights on Roast Styles

  • Jeremy reflects on different strategies for roast battling—opting for cleverness or going for sheer meanness ([06:21]–[07:20]):

    “There’s people who are just like, I’m going to be as mean as possible… or I need the most clever joke, or the most outlandish joke… There's so many angles to it.”

3. The Battle: Play-by-Play and Reflection

Entering the Room

• Jeremy realizes immediately the crowd and venue may not suit his jokes:

  “When I walked into the Beach House Bar and Grill in Omaha, Nebraska… I should have known my jokes were not going to play. That’s on me.” ([10:07]–[10:41])

The Exchange of Jokes ([13:24]–[27:01])

• Andy Sets the Tone Early

  • Andy opens with a barb before Jeremy’s even on stage:

    “I don’t really think it’s fair that you’re going to make me roast someone that looks like a burn victim. He’s not even up here yet. You’ll see.” ([13:24])

  • Jeremy, in hindsight, wishes he shot back immediately but instead just laughs it off ([13:34]).

• Jeremy’s First Joke

  • Targets Andy’s baldness:

    “I did experience something today that I know you’re never going to experience ever again, and that was this fresh haircut. Hey, you’ll be there one day, Mike.” ([14:30])

  • Jeremy explains for listeners:

    “…He’s bald, by the way. Shaved bald. Like bald bald. That’s where that joke came from.” ([14:55])

• Bombs and Recoveries

  • A Trump-related inflation joke lands flat:

    “He voted for Trump just because he thought you were going to save a buck on a dozen eggs.” ([21:18])

  • Jeremy’s self-deprecating analysis:

    “That should have killed. That joke’s funny… It was met to silence. Luckily, it moved on.” ([21:24])

• Andy’s Attempts

  • Some of Andy’s jokes also bomb. Example:

    “To have his way with the unresponsive patients, it’s disgusting, but it has earned him the nickname the Jolly Green Giant.” ([22:29])

  • Jeremy’s verdict:

    “That bombed. His joke bombed, too… What was that? I still don’t understand the joke.” ([22:29]–[22:51])

• Joke with the Most Laughs

  • Andy tries a soul joke:

    “The closest thing that ginger Jeremy will ever come to having a soul is if he buys a Kia.” ([20:51])

  • Jeremy’s pride:

    “Notice that my joke got way more laughter than the random Kia joke.” ([20:55])

• Edgy Material

  • Andy tries a “downs” joke related to football:

    “Captain CTE here, used to play quarterback in high school… but he does look like he has more downs than a football game.” ([24:31])

  • Jeremy’s retort:

    “You hit me with a downs joke. You think that’s believable? That I played quarterback? That team sucks.” ([24:43])
    “I did play football there… but I never made the field. I promise you that…” ([24:53]) “I might look like I drank Mountain Dew as a kid, but I certainly don’t have downs.” ([25:24])

• Risky Jokes from Jeremy

  • On Andy’s dating life and “type”:

    “Andy… had a tough time with love… You have a specific type… Hopefully you’re into Asians.” ([23:08])
    “I thought that one would bomb, but he just got this look that Asians would be into. That’s it.” ([23:17])

• Bonus Round

  • Andy:

    “Jeremy has a podcast, but it’s so bland that I’ve got more flavor out of a box of Cheez Its.” ([26:22])

    • Jeremy’s reflection:

      “That joke bombed so hard. No laughs. Because everyone knows this ain’t a bland podcast.” ([26:31])

  • Jeremy:

    “He has in his act—it costs nothing to be a nice person, but it’s also free to be an… I’d also like to add, free is what your wardrobe looks like. Thank you. I like your sneakers. Thank you. That joke bombed. But it was good.” ([26:41])

The Results and Aftermath

• The audience decides the winner by applause; Andy wins with more noise ([27:40]–[28:12]).
• Jeremy’s reflection on losing:

  “I do feel like my joke writing was far better than Andy’s. I’ll take them on again. I’m not scared. I a hundred percent do not feel like I just got destroyed by that guy in that round. Now I got less claps, I had less noise. It was all based on this noise meter. That’s okay. Hand up, that’s what decides it. I lost, I lost the round.” ([28:24]–[28:56])

Tone and Style

Jeremy’s narration is self-aware, playful, and honest—he’s quick to poke fun at himself and call out the awkward silences, but maintains pride in his effort. The episode is less about competitive victory and more about the comedic journey and being willing to “get up there and try it.”

Final Thoughts

• This episode offers a funny, frank look into the realities of live stand-up, especially in the unpredictable format of a roast battle.
• Jeremy encourages listeners (and himself) to keep trying, enjoying the process more than the immediate results.
• He finishes with a challenge and an invite—Andy is welcome back on the podcast for a rematch, and Jeremy is ready to “do it again…damn it.”

Perfect for anyone interested in stand-up, comedy writing, or simply enjoying cringe-worthy stage moments with a host who laughs as much at himself as he does at others.

Welcome back. This is laugh with me, a podcast with jeremy odom. I'm your host.

Jo, and this week, today, we are giving you a little rewind action. This is one of my favorite episodes of the year 2025. Jam packed full of. Of classic Laugh With Me moments, classic Laugh With Me episodes. This one in particular. This one in particular, I'm a. I'm a fan of. Because I'm gonna tell you right now, I did something. I did something for the first time, I did something I'm proud of. And you know what? It really wasn't nearly as bad as maybe the crowd thought, or the judges. Whoever. Whoever was watching was like, oh, geez, Jeremy. No, it really wasn't that bad. Okay? It was a tough space. I went out there, I gave him my all, and you're. You know, you'll listen, you'll. You'll hear all about it. I did my first ever Roast Battle.

Yeah. Thank you, Johnny. Thank you.

It's getting the end of the year. Johnny's. You're slowing. You're slowing down, brother. You're slowing down. That was definitely cause for an applause break. Thank you. And I did. I did a rose battle, and it wasn't. All right, I will say now that I've done it, I do it again, I'm gonna write differently, okay? I. I certainly am gonna write differently the jokes, but I went in with a strategy, I executed it, and you know what? Hand up. I lost. And that's okay. That's okay. Because sometimes you can't win, and you can't win if you don't try. So you also can't lose if you don't try, right? I mean, if you can't. If you don't try, you know, win, you certainly. You can't lose. That made. It made sense in my head. But now this. This is back in March. I did the Roast Battle. It was a lot of fun.

Probably. I would say there were a couple. There were a couple. Pretty good roasters. The rest of them, I think, honestly, on my part, maybe I even did better. Maybe it was just a matter of matchups. We were both so kind of.

People described us as bland, and I would say that maybe wasn't true, but I could see. I could see where they're saying that.

So we're gonna give you that episode. Please listen. If you haven't heard the episode before, I did my first Roast Battle it was. It was awesome. I. I look forward to the second time I will be back on the Roast Battle stage. So if you're listening and you want some of this, come get some of this. That I competed in my first Roast Battle tournament. Yeah. Last Friday night, I competed in the salty 16 comedy roast battle, hosted by Caleb Salvatore. Actually, thank you, Caleb, for having me on the show, for inviting me, man. That was quite the experience. I went into it thinking, all right, I watch. I've watched many a roast in my time, and in fact, it's something I have felt like I would be really, really good at because I can, you know, sling wit from side to side when I have to. You know, I've been known to sling it.

This is different, you know, this is different. And I also, I learned that you could. You can write really well. Like, you can have some jokes that if you just read it, you'd be like, yeah, all right, that's good. That's better than what, you know, maybe this guy said, sometimes it. You gotta. You just have to go a little harder. Like these Roast Battles. I thought I would stand out because, you know, there's different. There's different ways to it. There's the people who are just like, I'm gonna be as mean as possible, and then there's people who are like, no, I need, like the most clever joke, or I need the most outlandish joke, or this one's gonna be super personal, or this one's gonna be so out of the box. It's got nothing to do with this person. It could really hit anybody but people. It'll make people laugh. Like, there's so many angles to it. I took the angle of I'm gonna have some jokes. Some of them are gonna be written particularly at my opponent, because I knew my opponent is a 16 seed tournament. So 16 of us battling and single elimination. So once you're out. I had three jokes in the first round, and I went up against another comic here in Omaha named Andy Wolf. Never met him. I met him that day, but I did some research ahead. I watched his act. I had an idea about this guy heading in. So I was like, I'm gonna write some jokes that are tailored to him, and then I'm gonna write a couple jokes. I could probably say it to anybody, and I don't know that it's ne. It's not mean. I just think they're funny and maybe I can get a laugh from it. And that might be enough, you know, sandwiched around a couple of jokes. That are tailored, you know, to Andy, that I can be like, boom, advance to the next round. I just want to get some laughs.

So I, I, I did. I, I put in some time, I put in some work into writing these jokes. I had had a whole bunch of jokes written about Mr. Wolf, and then I was like, all right, well, let's. What if I do win? What if I advance? And I didn't go into it thinking I was gonna kill or crush and I was going to annihilate and win this tournament. This is my first time in the Roast Battle. I haven't been on stage in a while. I was like, so I'm not exactly expecting comedic gold, but I am going to put on a good performance. In my mind, I was heading into this, I'm like, I think I can do this.

What I learned was, I can do this.

But it's harder than it looks. Credit to everybody who does the Roast Battles. I'm looking forward to doing it again. I'm going on a limb. I'm putting it out there right now. If you've got a Roast Battle, if you've got a roast tournament, roast show of any type, I'm in, Like, sign me up. I feel like I get it. I feel like I will put on a better performance next time. I have a different angle. I'm gonna take on it, and I've probably given it away that it in advance. Right. I didn't win the thing, and that's okay. I. I am going to play the audio from the Roast Battle. From my round of the Roast Battle. I'm going to play here for you. We're going to talk about it.

It's going to be uncomfortable. I'm just telling you that right now. Not because of the content. I don't. I didn't say anything that was outlandish or vulgar or anything like that, although some people did. And it. And it worked.

I took a different approach on it, and I still think in the right room, those kinds of jokes could have played. When I walked into the Beach House Bar and Grill in Omaha, Nebraska, first time I've been there. Okay. When I walked in there, I should have known my jokes were not going to play.

I should have known. That's on me. Hand up. And that's all right. Like, that's. That's the game. Right.

I also want to say, my opponent, Andy, he did a good job. Personally, I felt my jokes were better.

Just saying that, man. I don't. He. We were talking before we went on stage because, you know, I wanted to meet the guy we're talking. He had a whole stack of note cards of Roast jokes. I mean, he. He could just pull out roast jokes for anybody, and he's like, boom, boom, boom. Here you go. Here's Jeremy. And that's. That's awesome. That's. That's what you got to do, right? You gotta. You gotta build them up.

I felt like mine were more tailored to my opponent and maybe should have gotten a little more credit than they deserve, and that's earlier than what they got. It's okay. They didn't. I had a lot of fun. I don't regret doing it. In fact, I'm very, very happy I did it. And I wish I felt better. You know, I wasn't 100 by any means. Wish I'd have felt better. I could have enjoyed it a little more. In fact, I did the first round. I'm gonna. Spoiler alert. I did lose that first round, but I ran right after that. Left because I just. I didn't feel well. I was tired. But I felt good enough to go up there and perform. I. You know, I committed to doing. I wanted to do it, man. I just hadn't been on stage in a while. Was really, really looking forward to get out in there. So. Yeah, the Roast Battle tournament. The salty 16, man. I. I just can't say enough about it. It was. It was. It was a lot. It was a good time. Mr. I think it was Mr. Z in the back doing sound, and he had a mic, so he was chirping in from time to time. And then Caleb hosting a great job. It's a great event, and look forward to hopefully being part of it again. Unless. Unless I did that bad. I mean, you guys are gonna. You guys are gonna hear.

Maybe I did. Maybe I did. Too bad.

I don't know. I don't think I did it was either. You know what? We had fun, right?

That's all that matters. All right, without further ado, we're gonna get right into it. I. I'm not saying I won't pause. I might pause from time to time, because I want to talk about it. You know, we need. We. We need to talk about this. This next guy's been on this stage a number of times. I think he went pretty deep the last time we ran this tournament.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Mr.

You.

Decent. Applause for Andy.

Any opening comments? I don't really think it's fair that you're going to make me roast someone that looks like a burn victim. He's not even up here yet. You'll see.

So he hit me with a joke before. Before we even started. Okay. He already put it out there that he was here to play. That's. That. That's a downfall. I should have come in with something as well when I take the stage next. And Ben. Boom. You know, hit him right back. I didn't. I thought it was funny. So I'm just standing there laughing, waiting. And again, I haven't been on stage in a while. Okay. I've been on stage in a while.

Anyway. And his opponent.

His. He hosts a podcast as well. It's called Tales from the Fire. No, I'm kidding. He does host a podcast, though. That's gotta be Kane.

It was a little sunny out today.

All right, man, you were the victim of the first, like, that was a cheap shot. It was like a punch you right when we told you to tap gloves. So you're gonna go up first here. Sounds good. You know, the two of us don't have, like, a lot of features about us to really be jealous about, but I did experience something today that I know you're never going to experience ever again, and that was this fresh haircut. Hey, you'll be there one day, Mike.

Okay. He's bald, by the way. Shaved bald. Like bald bald. Okay, so that's where that joke came from. I just got a fresh haircut that day. Which site? Sidebar. If you guys, you know, if you listen to the pod, you know that we go to this. We go to great clips. And there's, there's, there's. There's a specific lady. We call her bad haircut lady because she gives a bad haircut to everybody. And it's not just bad haircut. She takes days. There's. It's a whole thing. You have to go back to hear the story about Bad Haircut lady. Anyways, I got bad Haircut lady, but I needed a haircut. I was about to perform. I get it. I get bad Haircut lady. I come home and I'm like, this. This isn't good. I don't feel well. I got this bad haircut, but I got a haircut. And knowing that one of my jokes is about how I got a fresh haircut. He can never do that.

Because, let's be honest, even the happiest season could use a boost. You've got to take a minute for yourself, a little me time, and refill those joy reserves. So there's still plenty left to share. Maybe that means taking a break from wrapping, planning, cooking, hosting to recharge with a refreshing Coca Cola. Ah, one sip and you're ready to hang more lights. Sip and recharge your jolly now, because self care isn't selfish. It's necessary. Whether you're a holiday multitasker extraordinaire or the host with the most, or, I don't know, the actual Santa Claus, you deserve a moment to reset.

Slow Burn.

Notice that my joke got way more laughter than the random Kia joke. I still don't understand that one. You don't want to buy a Kia, man. Trust me. Been there. All right, Jeremy, joke number two. And then I got. He voted for Trump. Just because you thought you were gonna save a buck on a dozen eggs. Actually, for the haircut, I got a discount.

Jeremy here, he sneaks his way into the retirement home when it's cold outside.

We had to pause there. I hit. I hit them with the. With the Trump joke. I said, you look like a guy that voted for Trump to save a dollar on a dozen eggs that should have killed. That joke's funny. Trump can't change the cost of egg. It was met to silence. Luckily, it moved on, if you notice. He moved on. He came back with a retort immediately. It felt like eternity in between me finishing and him talking. That took a long time in. In my mind while I was on stage. Turns out it was just mere seconds. But, yeah, it's that one bombed. To have his way with the unresponsive patients, it's disgusting, but it has earned him the nickname the Jolly Green Giant.

That bombed. His joke bombed, too. I hit him with the egg joke. He comes back with some Jolly Green Giant joke. What was that? I still don't understand the joke. I think that's. That me up in the head as I'm standing on stage. I'm listening, and I'm like, what is he. What is like. There's a lot of words there. What is he even talking about?

Just happy. He bombed, too.

Jeremy. Yeah, I forgot. I forgot. The Jolly Green Giant got me good. Andy. If you know anything about Andy, he's hadn't had much in finding love.

And one look at you, honestly, we just met today. There's a. You have a specific type. You may not be aware of this. Hopefully you're into Asians.

I thought that one would pop with bomb. Yeah, I thought that one would bomb, but he just got this look that Asians would be into. That's it.

Asians, but not Asians born in this country.

Guess. Yeah. Go overseas. This is a passport, bro. Right here. Here's the thing. This is. This is. I knew that joke, so here was the joke. Andy's had a tough time with love, and that's something he talks about in his act. And.

He. One look at him and it's obvious who should be. Who's going to be attracted to him. He needs to be looking. Hopefully he's in the Asians because he looks like a guy. White guy, bald head, goatee, beardish.

Asians would love this guy. They love a nerdy white guy like that.

Just look around a little bit. You'll understand the joke. That's. That joke was a risk, and I admitted that, and I even got a few laughs from that. So, so far, if you're paying attention, I've gotten more laughs.

Joe 3, Captain CTE here, used to play quarterback in high school. No way. Yeah. He was the backup, though. But he does look like he has more downs than a football game.

You hit me with a downstroke. You think that's believable? That I play quarterback? That team sucks.

I did play football there. They didn't let me put on the uniform in bats. But I never made the field. I promise you that. All right, bet. All right, bet. Yeah. Give out for both of these guys.

That's not 100% true. I did play high school football freshman year and I played wide receiver and I actually made the. I made the field.

Another story for another day. But that's. He what? He just threw out a random quarterback joke. Down syndromes. I don't have downs.

Damn. I mean, I might look like I drank Mountain Dew as a kid, but I certainly don't have downs.

So far. If you're paying attention. I felt like I did okay.

I feel like I'd see both of them at like a speed dating event. First over, he said, which they host here at Beach House if you're single. By the way.

That'S Scott. Who do you think won? Nope. I was like, one of us has to advance. No, I think the winners was these two guys sitting over here at the table of four with the wives that want to go to the strip club. Yeah, I heard that. Oh, they said they're going after here. They said they are afterwards. I heard that. All right, I wear one more joke between the two of you. Andy, go ahead. Start us off in this overtime round here.

All right, so.

Jeremy has a podcast, but it's so bland that I've got more flavor out of a box of Cheez. Its.

Andy. That joke bombs so hard. No laughs. Because everybody knows this ain't a bland podcast.

He has in his act. It costs nothing to be a nice person, but it's also free to be an. I'd also like to add, free is what your wardrobe looks like. Thank you. I like your sneakers. Thank you. That joke bomb. But it was good. Yeah, we became friends somehow. I kind of regret going to overtime now.

I think this is a good opportunity to remind our traveling. Yeah. No leaf on.

We thought it was going to be a roast battle. We didn't say it was going to be a funny one.

All right. Well, you know, someone once told me that there is a rule out there where something has to be the funniest. Doesn't necessarily mean any of them are funny, but there has to be a funniest. For instance, there have been 35 school shootings in the United States this year. None of them were funny. But by law, there must have been a funniest school shooting this year.

So of these two school shootings I want you guys to make your make some noise. For the funniest. Ladies and gentlemen, if you think Amy Wolf one, make some noise.

101. 101 big outline for that. I love it. If you think Jeremy Ottawan makes some noise.

Special Olympics.

It's like a make a wish stand up comedy happening right there.

You know, what matters is that we all had fun.

I do feel like my joke writing was far better than Andy's. I'll take them on again. I'm not scared. I don't, I a hundred percent do not feel like.

I just got destroyed by that guy in that round. Now I got less claps, I had less noise. It was all based on this noise meter.

That's okay. A hand up, that's what decides it. I lost, I lost the round.

Saying I thought it was closer than what it was being led on to be. And everybody had a good time. Right.

So that was the salty 16. Ah, I, I, I look forward to battling again. I, I hope I will get my rematch. And Andy, I don't know if you listen to the pot or not. Sounds like maybe you don't. You said it was a little bland. Hey, if you do, man, you're welcome to come on the show and we can, you know, we can have the rematch. There you have it. That's the laugh with me. Rewind. I did a roast battle. Yeah, Now I'm gonna do it again too. Damn it.

I really am. I'm not scared. Not scared at all. We'll be back with a brand new episode of Laugh with Me very soon. And remember, you can find us on the iHeartRadio app or anywhere you find your favorite podcast. Okay, only 10 more presents to wrap. You're almost at the finish line. But first.

There the last one.
