Episode Overview

This episode finds Jeremy Odem joined by his brother Kyle for a banter-rich, nostalgic, and self-deprecating discussion about life, retirement dreams, the realities of aging punks at concerts, and the enduring power of community—whether that’s in a mosh pit, a skate park, or the podcast world. With a mix of personal stories, business ideas gone awry, and memorable concert fiascos, listeners get a laugh-filled exploration of what happens when the dreamers grow up and still love a good pit.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ingenious (but Stolen?) Retirement Schemes

• At [05:06], the duo debate the origins of a business idea Jeremy claims to have originated: movie theaters should force patrons past merch and media stands as they exit—“like the souvenir shop at an aquarium.” Johnny admits to forgetting the source and broadcasting the idea elsewhere.

  • Quote: “You took the whole thing? Actually, I had this whole...hey, whenever I do retire, I'd like to open a theater...But for, like, events...And then when you leave...it's like a dang physical media store.”
    —Jeremy ([05:58])
  • Quote: “Credit to you for coming up with the idea and then credit to me for putting it out there for the people.”
    —Johnny ([07:03])

• Jeremy’s other “retirement plans” are unrolled and debated, chief among them:

  • Opening a laundromat—low maintenance, steady returns.
  • Attaching a bar or vending machines to the laundromat ([08:00]–[09:23]).
  • Buying a campground—or even a lake ([10:46]–[16:39]).

• The practicalities and comic delusions of each scheme get examined.

  • Quote: “You can't own a lake. Or can you? ...Oh, gosh, that sounds expensive.”
    —Jeremy ([12:39])
  • Quote: “What kind of upkeep could there be in a lake? It’s a lake.”
    —Jeremy ([13:16])
  • Quote: “You don’t clean a lake.”
    —Jeremy ([13:19])
  • Quote: “You just dig a hole.” (on building a lake)
    —Jeremy ([16:50])

2. Cost-Benefit Analysis of Campgrounds and Laundromats

• Both suggest retirees want passive income with minimal work—theories get reality-checked by the complications of lakes (permits, sanitation), and running any business.
• Johnny's proposal of a bar/laundromat hybrid is met with genuine enthusiasm but ultimately devolves into jokes about vending machine efficiency ([08:22]).

3. Punk Rock Show (Bouncing Souls/Suicide Machines): The Old Men in the Pit

• Transition at [17:09]: recap of attending a classic punk show together.
• The Suicide Machines played “Destruction by Definition” in its entirety, with their biggest hit (“New Girl”) appearing first—prompting a discussion on setlist strategy ([18:00]).
  • Quote: “I'm not a big fan of, like, you know, saving your best. Like, you know, it's coming...just surprise us for when it happens.”
    —Jeremy ([18:05])
• They reminisce about the traditions and rituals of mosh pits: mutual care, family, and etiquette ([22:09], [22:52]).
  • Quote: “The pit is for two things...You get in, you’re a family. Instantly...If you fall, you pick them back up.”
    —Johnny ([22:13])

4. Stage Diving Adventure (+ War Stories of Aging Punks)

• At [21:12–24:31], Johnny recounts his first-ever stage dive, his failed attempts at crowd surfing, and the toll it took on his now older frame.

  • Quote: “I didn’t surf so much as I cannonballed, I guess...But I didn’t hit the ground, so that was good.”
    —Johnny ([29:31])

• Reflections on getting hurt at shows, the nature of punk community, and how “old guys in the pit” are often battered but unbowed.

  • Quote: “You got hurt. That was not great. But you got hurt. Hattie just had the time of her life watching you get hurt.”
    —Jeremy ([19:55])

5. The Skateboarding Incident: Viral Video Glory

• Story of an earlier session where Johnny wipes out on a skateboard (a video that went viral), with Jeremy’s daughter Hattie laughing her head off ([35:08–38:34]).

  • Quote: “That was one of her top five moments in her life, I think, watching me hit that ground.”
    —Johnny ([36:08])
  • Quote: “Rancid said it best: When I fall down, pick you back up again.”
    —Johnny ([38:35])

• The broader moral? Skate and punk communities are inherently supportive—contrasting this with internet culture’s tendency to merely point, laugh, and troll ([38:44]).

  • Quote: “Why can't we just be like, hey man, nice job, keep going. Just build everybody up.”
    —Jeremy ([39:09])

6. Community, Positivity, and Online “Hate”

• An encounter outside the show with a fellow punk who nearly let his snark take over, then bonded with Johnny over shared internet gripes ([39:31]).

  • Quote: “A little bit of hate came out...And then it came back on him. And he instantly then found a bond.”
    —Johnny ([40:02])

• Reflections that even punk scenes aren’t fully immune to cynicism, but the vibe at their show was overwhelmingly positive.

7. Favorite Shower Songs (Comedy Bit Recurring Throughout)

• The “shower song” question leads to a mini music discussion:
  • Jeremy’s are mostly classic punk anthems, including Suicide Machines’ “New Girl” and NOFX’s “The Decline” ([41:47]).
    • Quote: “The Decline's always a good one. It's like 15 minutes. So it's like you just can be singing for 15 minutes, but, yeah, I like it.”
      —Jeremy ([42:10])
  • Bit of meta humor on the format, e.g. “Just clarifying...show is laugh with me, not at me.” ([43:01])

8. Plans for the Podcast: Roasts, YouTube, and Repeated “Shadow-Banning”

• Johnny floats the idea of a future roast episode (“roast of J”) if they reach 10,000 YouTube subscribers ([44:24]).
  • Quote: “Let’s get this roast...You want to see Jeremy get roasted? Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.”
    —Johnny ([45:26])
  • Jeremy jokes about being “shadow-banned,” and likens his appearances to a “Make A Wish” guest slot ([46:00]).
• Banter about touring the podcast, bringing shadow-banned guests back, and dreaming of a Make A Wish kid coming on—then roasting him for comedic effect ([46:32]).

Episode Tone & Style

The episode is candid, playful, self-deprecating, full of brotherly ribbing and “back in my day” punk nostalgia. The language is peppered with casual expletives, affectionately sardonic humor, and a deep love for the music and scenes that shaped them. Personal failures and physical mishaps are embraced as a badge of community, not shame—a clear-through line for both the live shows they adore and the podcast they create.

---

For New Listeners: Why Listen?

If you want a passionate yet irreverent take on aging punks, failed business dreams, the code of the mosh pit, and the power of shared laughter—this episode delivers. The stories are relatable, genuine, and invite listeners to “laugh with” the hosts, not at them.

Well, I mean, I think that's like life isn't that life?

[Johnny]

You didn't gain weight.

[Jeremy]

I did. Yeah. We were just talking about being like in high school and leaving and eating Little Caesars and we'd eat a whole pizza and it's like it never Even happened. First of all, now I can't even eat a whole pizza. Second of all, if I do, it ain't ending well.

[Johnny]

welcome back. It's a brand new.

[Jeremy]

I never see that episode.

[Johnny]

This is Laugh With Me, the podcast. Jeremy.

[Poet/Narrator]

Jeremy stares at the stats and shaking over takeout boxes. Johnny's already mapping hotels on a napkin with crazy crosses. They quit jobs they kind of hate, tell their bosses, catch the show. Boss just shrugs. Hope it's funny. Johnny grins.

[Johnny]

You'll never know. And we're here with a. You've been a guest many, many times. You haven't been on a long time. He claims he was hashtag shadow band. He has not been. And this just further proves. I mean that, right?

[Jeremy]

No. So I've been shadow banned, which is fine. I have nothing against this, but I was shadow banned. And this just proves that. You're trying to make it seem like I'm not shadow banned, but I still am. And that's fine. It's all good.

[Johnny]

That's false. It's my brother. It's Kyle Odom. Johnny hit that plot. And we do have to start with this is. This is me being humble. Okay, I know you're shocked, but this is. This is me being humble right now. You listened to the Friday Happy hour, which number 20, by the way. Can we get some recognition for that? Johnny? Thank you. 20 episodes of the Friday Happy Hour.

[Jeremy]

It's pretty good.

[Johnny]

Already in the bank. Okay, you listen to it and you then hit me with you stole My idea. And I'm like, what are you talking about? Well, I do remember having a conversation with somebody about the idea of having, like, the merch stand in, like, movie theaters. You know, the movie ends, and Grant and I talked about it on the Friday happy hour. And it's like this, you know, you. When you leave, you have to walk through it. Like the souvenir shop at, like, an aquarium at the zoo and stuff. And you have to walk through. They force you to walk through. And then you've got DVDs and VHS and it can be kind of like old school. Here's physical media. Also T shirts and merch from the movies and all that stuff. Yeah, genius idea. And I tagged amc and I was like, let's go. Let's go. That was your idea? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy]

You took the whole thing? Actually, I had this whole. I don't have many plans in my life, but I had this plan like, hey, whenever I do retire, I'd like to open a theater. And not for necessarily new movies, although maybe that's a thing. But for, like, events like, hey, the Saturday is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Come spend 20 bucks and watch it. And then when you leave. Yeah. It's like a dang physical media store. You took the whole thing and threw it out into the world?

[Johnny]

I took it, yes. And did I put out in the world? Absolutely.

[Jeremy]

So, yes, you did the whole thing.

[Johnny]

So did I mean to do that? Did I know I did that? No, I could not remember, this was your idea. Just remember the idea and remember talking about it with somebody and was like, that's a good idea.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, it's a bunch of crap. And then you got Grant, you know, That's a good idea. Yeah, no shit. I'm aware. Why? It's my retirement plan. And instead, now it's just gonna be gone and somebody else gonna do it, and they're gonna do a great job, and I will support them, but I'm sad about it.

[Johnny]

Somebody needs to do it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

That's.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Been established.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And honestly, credit to you for coming up with the idea and then credit to me for putting it out there for the people.

[Jeremy]

No, it should not have been out there for the people. This was for me to be able to retire.

[Johnny]

Credit to me for maybe motivating you to do it faster.

[Jeremy]

No. Cause I'm not going to. So I don't have time. That was the whole. That's why it's retirement, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you have time to do whatever you want. That was What I was gonna do, and now it's just gonna be gone. So now I'll just mow lawns, I guess, which is fine.

[Johnny]

You've had a few retirement ideas. I know. Or. Or. Or you just a guy who brings ideas to the table for people to do in retirement. Because I know you were telling our dad, like, he needs to open Laundromat.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

What? Number one, why Laundromat? And two, was this something you were gonna do and you were just bringing them in on it or what? How was that gonna work out?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. So here's the deal. I don't have any time for any of this stuff right now. That's just. Yes.

[Johnny]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeremy]

But, yeah, when I retire, it's like, dude, why wouldn't you open a laundromat? People are just doing laundry. Yes. There's some overhead. Yes. Oh, a machine's gonna break. That's fine. But, like, dude, Laundromat, you're just making money, Right? So it's like you just get to still enjoy life. Like, hey, I work so hard now I get to kind of relax. Yes. You're still running a business, but it's bringing in more money than the work it creates. Life's good.

[Johnny]

So I've always had this idea of a laundromat with a beer. Beer. A bar attached to it. Because you're waiting.

[Jeremy]

You are waiting.

[Johnny]

And now you have a place to wait.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And spend money.

[Jeremy]

Okay, here's a better idea.

[Johnny]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

Actually, that's a great idea. I like that. But here's a better idea, because here's the deal. I bet there's hours where it's slow, right?

[Johnny]

Oh, 100%.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Yeah. But you still want to serve the public.

[Johnny]

Yep.

[Jeremy]

What about if it's like. Well, shoot, how do you check id? I was thinking some sort of beer vending machine.

[Johnny]

Because it's like, beer vending.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. You're still offering everything, but, like, you don't gotta staff this thing.

[Johnny]

Mmm. Oh, okay.

[Jeremy]

Here's an idea.

[Johnny]

All right, we're spitballing here.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

What about a Laundromat? Also, you start a vending business. You've got the vending machines in the laundromat. Maybe an entire bank of them or something.

[Jeremy]

Great.

[Johnny]

And you're making money on everything.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah. This is great. See, this is what we're doing.

[Johnny]

And the same people that run that work the Laundromat, which there won't be many, but the same people who run that.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Will also be filling the vending machine.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

You know?

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

This is great.

[Johnny]

This is great.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. See, dad is not. He doesn't want any of this.

[Johnny]

He does.

[Jeremy]

We're like, here's gold. And he's like, what if I just didn't do any of that? I think. Okay, I'm cool with that.

[Johnny]

I think I get where he's coming from, though, because he's thinking of, why would I want to start in retirement a business that's going to require me to have to be so involved.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

But to your point, you're saying no. Hire someone to do that.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And then you just are the guy who's making sure everything's, you know, good. You're just, you know, managing from over top.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. And it'll probably be a little bit of work up front. Like, you're gonna be working.

[Johnny]

You're gonna be working, but then you

[Jeremy]

get this thing running and it's like, let's go.

[Johnny]

And that's the goal.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

It's great.

[Johnny]

It's a great idea. Honestly.

[Poet/Narrator]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

So if anybody needs any retirement jobs, just come to me, I guess, and we'll work it out.

[Johnny]

So that was. So you're. Hold on. We're going to get through your list. So you've got the Laundromat and now we've got Laundromat slash vending.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And maybe a bar. We're looking at it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. We're looking at a great idea.

[Johnny]

We're actually seriously looking at it. And then the other one was the souvenir shop partnership with the movie theaters, which someone's gonna run with that now.

[Carvana Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

So that's gone.

[Jeremy]

It's great.

[Johnny]

What was the other ideas?

[Jeremy]

My latest one was a campground. Right.

[Johnny]

Yep.

[Jeremy]

Okay. Because here's the deal.

[Johnny]

Yeah. They have ever. They do.

[Jeremy]

But listen. Oh, you're not creating one. Okay. You're not building one. You're just buying one. But here's the deal. You go to campground, right? If you've ever had any problems, say your electrical didn't work, or say, I don't know, you have problems. Right. You're always like, let me talk to the manager. Because you're Karen, you're. I gotta talk to the manager at the campground. Who's the manager? Campground. It's always some rando retired person who gets out of their motorhome that's parked close to the building. Right.

[Carvana Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

It's like, that's just their job.

[Johnny]

That's what.

[Jeremy]

They live there. They don't get to pay rent or whatever. It's just like, you just kind of maintain this thing. Whatever. Like, that's not the owner. Like, somebody who owns that thing, they just bought it. They talk to whoever runs the thing and, like, that's it. And like, what's the upkeep? You pay somebody to mow the thing.

[Johnny]

Yep.

[Jeremy]

You keep it stocked with firewood. Okay. That. That's the whole thing? That's the entire expense of the thing?

[Johnny]

Yep.

[Jeremy]

So, like, it's easy, right? Folks paying you to come park there for a weekend. It's great.

[Johnny]

Do you.

[Jeremy]

Great.

[Johnny]

It is great. So you know how when you. When you run, like, maybe you don't know this when you own, like, a car wash. Yeah. There's a lot of, you know, things. Expenses involved that involve, like, the. The drainage and the water and all that stuff.

[Michael Rapaport]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

You think there's anything involved in that with a campground?

[Jeremy]

No.

[Johnny]

Oh, no.

[Jeremy]

Well, how could there be? Because you're not, like, operating anything. You know what I mean?

[Johnny]

Restrooms.

[Jeremy]

What's the runoff?

[Johnny]

A swimming pool.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, the restrooms would.

[Johnny]

Do you think there's a pond or a lake or anything that would require.

[Jeremy]

Oh, there's a lake, but that's living its best lake life.

[Johnny]

Oh, lakes. So that's the other thing. I don't know anything about permits or any upkeep of lakes, but I would imagine there's something.

[Jeremy]

No, no. We run the campground. The lake is its own thing.

[Johnny]

So you're running the campground next to a lake?

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And the lake's its own thing?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. You can't own a lake. Or can you? I don't know.

[Johnny]

You can.

[Jeremy]

You can own a lake.

[Johnny]

I think you can.

[Jeremy]

Oh, gosh, that sounds expensive.

[Johnny]

Yeah, that's my point. For example, you know the Lenoma Beach?

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

Do I ever.

[Johnny]

So there's water? Yeah. As part of that.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

I think they own that water.

[Jeremy]

You think so?

[Johnny]

I think so. I don't think it's just water there and they own the land around it. I. I'll look into it.

[Jeremy]

That's interesting.

[Johnny]

Johnny, please look this up. But I do think that they own that water.

[Jeremy]

That's interesting.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

So I never considered this. Okay, so.

[Johnny]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

What kind of upkeep could there be in a lake? It's a lake.

[Johnny]

Cleaning it.

[Jeremy]

You don't clean a lake.

[Johnny]

Are you kidding me?

[Jeremy]

I'm not kidding you.

[Daniel Alarcon]

It's a lake.

[Jeremy]

It's outside.

[Johnny]

Yeah. What if the. A bunch of trash got into it? What if raw sewage got into it?

[Jeremy]

Doesn't.

[Johnny]

It does.

[Jeremy]

How?

[Johnny]

From people.

[Jeremy]

People.

[Johnny]

Sometimes people.

[Jeremy]

No, those people are out. Those People gotta go.

[Johnny]

No, you have to get rid of those people. But. But this is a thing. And because for it to be safe, for people to be able to swim and boat and partake in your lake.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

It has to reach a certain level of, like, sanitation. Like, there's like a. A number.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Of some type that is red. That the parks department will come around and they'll check it, and otherwise they'll shut you down.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. I might not have thought this one through. Yeah, you're right. This one you could poke some holes in.

[Sam Jae]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

That's what we're here to do. We're here to work.

[Jeremy]

The lake might just be its own thing. Okay.

[Johnny]

So we're gonna just assume the lake's its own thing. We're not worried about it. No, we're not owning a lake. Okay.

[Jeremy]

All right. Yeah.

[Johnny]

Okay. Well, back to the original issue, which was, dad was like, well, that's too much work. I don't want to do it Involved. But I was thinking about, like, what you were saying again. This is another situation where you just hire people to do it.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

And you run it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Yeah. Great.

[Johnny]

I think it's not a bad idea. Do people. People still camp and stuff, right?

[Jeremy]

Oh, they'd be camping all the time. It's always full. You ever go camp?

[Johnny]

Do I. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeremy]

No, I know, but if you did, and we don't very often either, but if you do and you go to book a site, you'll see that like, a crap ton of those sites are booked already.

[Johnny]

And do you think there's. That's because a lot of people are still doing it or because maybe there's less places or you think there's the same amount of places?

[Jeremy]

That's a fair question. If I were to guess. I mean, there's. I guess there's. Could there be less?

[Johnny]

I have no idea.

[Jeremy]

I don't know either.

[Johnny]

Johnny.

[Jeremy]

I think. I think. I think people are just be camping. They're out there camping. Okay. You know?

[Johnny]

Yeah. No, trust me, I know.

[Jeremy]

So money's tight everywhere.

[Johnny]

Yep.

[Jeremy]

It's a very cost effective way to take your family on vacation. Just saying.

[Johnny]

Yeah, I could see how that could be. I mean, instead of hotels and being in town and renting cars, you can

[Jeremy]

just plop, squat, be out there in the wilderness.

[Johnny]

I said Papa Squad. I meant papa.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, that was weird. You just be plopping all the time.

[Johnny]

Yeah, that's how humble I am. I called out my own mistake.

[Jeremy]

I was gonna let it ride.

[Johnny]

Thank you.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, it's Your podcast. I'm just the guest.

[Johnny]

Yeah, yeah. Generally, people come on here and they want to call me out on some bullshit, and then here you are like, hey, I know you stole my idea. Yeah, we don't have to bring it up. I wanted to bring it up.

[Jeremy]

I try to be a nice guy, but, yeah, you just be plopping squats, so, you know, it happens, man.

[Johnny]

The more we talk about this lake, I'm thinking maybe we just buy a lake.

[Jeremy]

How do you make money on that?

[Johnny]

I have no idea. But how cool would it be to have a lake, huh?

[Jeremy]

You're correct. You're correct. We could just have a lake, Right. No money, but we're just loving the lake.

[Johnny]

Like somebody else's lake.

[Jeremy]

That's a retirement plan that's just enjoying life, which sounds cool.

[Johnny]

Yeah. But do we own the lake?

[Jeremy]

You just said we do.

[Johnny]

Did you want to rename the lake? If you owned a lake, would you rename it or did you roll what it is?

[Jeremy]

I think I'd roll with it.

[Johnny]

Did you know you can build a lake?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, dude. You just dig a hole.

[Johnny]

You've never thought about doing that?

[Jeremy]

No. Where am I building a lake at?

[Johnny]

You act like I have all the answers. I'm just. You're the idea guys.

[Jeremy]

I'm far from retirement. These ideas are, like, decades down the road.

[Johnny]

All right. Yeah, that's fair.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. All right.

[Johnny]

Well, I mean, we're here because last night, we. We went to a concert.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah, we did.

[Johnny]

And so this. This originally, I saw that is Bouncing Souls and Suicide Machine. So it was a classic punk rock show, and it was a lot of fun. It came about because I saw they were coming, and I'm like, that seems like right up Kyle's alley.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

I sent it to you, and you're, like, 100% I'm in.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. It was unbelievably up my alley. I mean, Bouncing Souls are classics, but the Suicide Machines are, like, one of my favorites. And they play the entire album of their best album, Destruction by Definition. And it was everything you ever could ask for.

[Johnny]

And the only thing that sucked about them playing that album is that they played the songs in order, which means the. The. The best song was played first. New Girl.

[Jeremy]

Well, the whole. The whole thing is great.

[Johnny]

It was. Oh, yeah, I'm saying banger after banger.

[Jeremy]

Banger it was.

[Johnny]

But the best song was first.

[Jeremy]

That's great. Here's the deal. I'm not a big fan of, like,

[Johnny]

you know, saving your best.

[Jeremy]

Yes. Like, you know, it's coming. You know, that's what the people want. Like, dude, just give us some. Surprise us for when it happens. Obviously, this wasn't surprised. It was the first song, but, like, give us something where it's, like, just busted out in the middle of the set and then the people going wild, you know?

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Just saying.

[Johnny]

Yeah, I. I do like it when there's, like, a new band on the scene and they're, you know, not necessarily headlining, but they're just trying to. They're doing features and stuff.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And there's one song that the majority of the people, they're going to know them for.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

And they bust that out right away so that everybody's on the same page of. Oh, yeah, I know these guys. And then hopefully you'll find something else you like. Yeah, Like, I'm totally down with that. But when you have an established band and they have a catalog, and it's like, just build up to it, and then let's go crazy at the end.

[Jeremy]

Now, here's the deal. Everybody does that. So, one, do something different. But two, I think there's a little bit of a. Every song that you play that's not that song, everybody's like, when are they gonna play that song? Like, and there's good parts of that, and there's bad parts of that. Sometimes they're just distracted. They're like, I can't fully enjoy what's happening. Cause I'm really looking forward to this.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Sometimes you just gotta give them this and trust that they're gonna be all in on the rest of it.

[Johnny]

All right, that's actually fair. Because there is a lot of, like, oh, okay. It's not. Yeah, let me go get a beer.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Bathroom. Or something like that.

[Jeremy]

Exactly.

[Johnny]

Yeah, that's fair. Well, we went to the show.

[Carvana Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

I.

[Johnny]

Most of us came out alive.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

I'm pretty banged up from this thing. I mean.

[Jeremy]

And I'm still banged.

[Johnny]

I'm hurting.

[Jeremy]

You're perpetually banged.

[Johnny]

I'm ice. Yeah, we. I think it's you. Because just saw you a few weeks ago, and I broke my back skateboarding, which was awesome. It was awesome.

[Jeremy]

It was great. You got hurt. That was not great. But you got hurt. Hattie just had the time of her life watching you get hurt.

[Johnny]

We do need to talk about that. Let's. We're gonna circle back to the skateboard.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Because people were like, who filmed it? Like, what? We. We want to talk to the man with the camera. But at this concert, and I don't Know, we're. We're getting older.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

Right.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

But sometimes when the music speaks, yet when the band comes on and plays the best song, first, you're hyped.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And you roll up and you just want to jump in the pit. And that's what I did immediately. And then I slipped and fell immediately. And unlike from the skateboard, where I landed flat on my back a little bit on my right hip, I went. I tried to, like, catch myself with my left hand, and I hurt my wrist so bad it hurts still there the next night, and. And then, you know, I felt super good the rest of the night. John. Living in the pit, you know, for.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

You know, both bands. And then even hype myself up to stage dive. I've never done that. That was my first time.

[Jeremy]

You just did it.

[Johnny]

I just did it. Yeah. So. All right, so just a little backstory, too. And here's how I got there.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Johnny]

I go through the pit, and then I happen to see Eric at the front. He's, like, two people deep from the stage, and I'm like, what is this guy doing here?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, how do you get up?

[Johnny]

I mean, he was at the show. He came with us.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Sam Jae]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

But I didn't know he was up front. So then I. I go up front, I'm like, yeah, what's up? He's like, find my hat. He lost his hat.

[Jeremy]

Just like that. He's not like, what's up?

[Johnny]

He's like, yeah, like, not. I'm not gonna find your hat. So we're rolling, and then there's this guy in this white T shirt to the left of me, and he's. He's having the time of his life, but maybe the guy next to him was bumping him or something, and you know that's gonna happen. Yeah, Right?

[Jeremy]

It's a show.

[Johnny]

And he got in that guy's face, and it looked like we were gonna have a fight, but I de. Escalated. I immediately got. I put my hands on that guy's shoulders, and I was like, it's good, it's good, it's good. And then pushed him into the pit because I felt, like.

[Jeremy]

Weird move.

[Johnny]

We had to de. Escalate from the fight, and he needed to get that energy out.

[Jeremy]

Okay, so it works. Yeah.

[Johnny]

Instead of getting mad, he was rocking the pit. He was all over the place. I'm like, he gets it. He gets it. Because the pit is for two things, all right? There's two rules you live by in the pit. You get in, you get into the Pit, and you're a family. Instantly.

[Jeremy]

Instantly. This is.

[Johnny]

These are people looking out for each other. If you fall, you pick them back up, and that's immediately what they did.

[Jeremy]

When I slipped and fell, do you slip on, like. Was it like, beer? Some, or you just slipped out of nowhere?

[Johnny]

Had to have been because I was wearing shoes with good. Good grip.

[Jeremy]

Oh, so it had.

[Johnny]

Yeah. Like, new issues.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. You just went down.

[Johnny]

Had to have, like, slipped on some beer or something.

[Jeremy]

But they picked you up.

[Johnny]

They picked me up instantly.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Johnny]

Right. So I get picked up. So that's thing. They're a family. You're in there, you're bumping, you're dancing. This is. It's. It's family. It's a positive energy. Right. For the show. Then the second thing is the people directly surrounding the circle who are not a part of the pit. You are part of the pit. Your job is to keep those people within the pit.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

So you're pushing them. You're pushing them. You're keeping the flow going. You're not to get mad as people are bumping. So as this guy's getting bummed, I'm thinking, buddy, you need to get in the pit. Like, you need to let this energy out. Exactly. And you need to understand the family. So it worked because he came back and he was smiling and he was having the time of his life. So then I'm like, let's keep this. Let's keep this going. Lift me up. So I point, I grab. I. I tap him on the shoulder again, and I do the, you know, point up. I'm like, lift me up. He goes, yeah. Lifts me right up on stage. And it instantly. Well, I kind of rolled.

[Jeremy]

Hey, however you get up there. Yeah, it is. But then you got up.

[Johnny]

But then you're. And that might explain some of the bruises because I had to roll over the, like, the. The speakers for the band.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And so then I get up, and then I instantly. You know. You saw me, right? You saw me in the crowd. And what were you thinking when you see me just, like, pop up?

[Jeremy]

I was just thinking, hell, yeah. So obviously, very unexpected.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

I know you and Eric are out there somewhere in the world. I did not join in that. I'm just living my best life back here, enjoying the show. You got folks jumping up there, doing the thing or whatever, which you see at every show. Yeah. And then you're up there, which is just blowing my mind. And I'm like, oh, my God, is he going to die? What is happening? He can't handle a skateboard for three seconds, and now he's about to jump off this fricking stage. And then you jumped off that frigging stage.

[Johnny]

I did.

[Jeremy]

And I could not see. I'm not the tallest guy in the world. I could not see if they caught you or dropped you. I don't even know what happened.

[Johnny]

So they kind of did both. They

[Ari Chambers]

[Host/Announcer]

The World cup is underway and it's been incredible. On our podcast, the Away End, with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us all through the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Daniel this tournament has been magical so far. The expanded field of teams has created some incredible matchups that have already made this World cup one to remember. And now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds as the field is whittled down to one World cup champion on July 19.

[Host/Announcer]

When you say it like that, I get a pain in my heart that the tournament is over, but there's a lot of soccer yet to go, and if the first few games of the round 32 are any indication, anything is possible in the lead up to the final. We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the Away end.

[Daniel Alarcon]

So listen to the away end with Daniel Alarcon and John green on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Akilah Hughes]

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it getting a new one put up in its place.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

As long as there's a politics of

[Johnny]

race in America, there's going to be

[Jeremy]

a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.

[Ari Chambers]

If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.

[Akilah Hughes]

I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space.

[Johnny]

We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that?

[Jeremy]

They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

[Akilah Hughes]

You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Michael Rapaport]

This is Michael Rapaport and my podcast, the I Am Rappaport Stereo podcast, is unlike anyone you've ever heard. We're a variety show, and if you're looking for strong opinions, funny opinions about sports, entertainment, politics, pop culture, and whatever else catches my attention, then subscribe and subscribe now. This kid, Jafar Jackson, is as good as Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, and it's as good as Timothee Shamalay as Bob Dylan. And I say that with love and respect for both of those actors. And I don't know how many Oscar nominations they give out. I don't know if it's 5, 6 for best actor, 150%. This kid, Jafar Jackson should absolutely, positively get nominated for his portrayal as Michael Jackson. Listen to I Am rapaport on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Poet/Narrator]

I Am Rappaport podcast.

[Johnny]

Okay, back to what we talked about the very beginning. I think I've gained a little weight, okay?

[Jeremy]

And that's happened.

[Johnny]

Those folks, I don't. They gave one look at me, and I don't think they expected the mass coming their way because then I, I jump, you know, and I didn't, I didn't want to get too much height because I knew that could be a problem.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny]

So I just kind of like, you know.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. And you did it right. You didn't even give him too much chance to think about. You were on there.

[Johnny]

You were awesome. Perfect.

[Jeremy]

Yes, great.

[Johnny]

You gotta just trust fall, right?

[Jeremy]

Yep, absolutely.

[Johnny]

So then I just go and I drop in and they kinda. They did what they could to keep me upright.

[Jeremy]

They broke your fall?

[Johnny]

They broke my fall.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Poet/Narrator]

All right.

[Johnny]

So I didn't surf as much as I cannonballed, I guess.

[Jeremy]

That's awesome. Yeah, that was great. I was so pumped.

[Johnny]

But I didn't hit the ground, so that was good. And then. And then. And then they were totally cool. When I was feet on the ground and they're looking back, they knew I was safe. I knew I was safe. And they were like, hell, yeah, man. Like, again, it's a family out there.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny]

I've had experience of the. Of the crowd. Surfers, where it sucks. Like Warped Tour, watching All American Rejects and getting kicked in the head and.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Now I got a migraine, you know, in the heat, because I keep getting kicked in the head. Maybe that's on me. Maybe I wasn't. I was too in tune with the band and I wasn't taking care of my family out there. I don't know. I don't know.

[Jeremy]

Gotta take care of each other.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

But that night, last night was, like, perfect. It's like everybody knew, you know, what you got to do. Everybody was on the same page. Dude, it was awesome.

[Johnny]

It was. What was your. What was the favorite song you saw? The song that you were like. That's it. That's the one.

[Jeremy]

Well, I mean, new girl, right? New girl. But I mean, truly. And I don't even know if this is actually, like, part of the album or if they just threw it in at the end, but they did the Minor Threat cover at the very end. Last song they covered Minor Threat. I don't want to hear it. Which I was not expecting. And it was freaking awesome. So that was great.

[Johnny]

I bet they just threw that in because I don't think it's on the end.

[Jeremy]

I don't think it is either. That's the thing. I was like. Is that like a hidden track after the last song and I just forgot about it or. Yeah, either way, it was bomb. And it was a killer way to end the set.

[Johnny]

Yeah, they were certainly the highlight for me. But then, like, Bouncing Souls, you know, they played through their album and it was fine. It was fun. Yeah. And then, you know, then they started doing Mantham after. And I'm like, this is it. Lean on Sheen.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Oh, it's great.

[Sam Jae]

That's.

[Johnny]

That's when I was like, okay, yeah, Bouncing Souls.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, but that's the thing. So. And I love Bouncing Souls, but they do this thing where they play, like two songs that you're like, this is good. And then they'd hit, like, one of their awesome ones. You're like, great. And then it's back to like, two. It's like, Lost Opportunity.

[Johnny]

And I'm. I've so out of. I haven't gone to many shows this year. So, like, when I do go, it's like Bowling for Soup.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And they. They. They play the hits, but then they bullshit and they joke around a lot and it's part of the entertainment and it's awesome. Yep. Bouncy souls. They get to business. They get to business.

[Jeremy]

They get to.

[Johnny]

And they just play. They just go, yeah. And so I wasn't quite used to that. I'm just like, give me a joke. I want some jokes. Give me the.

[Jeremy]

On the opposite. I remember seeing Bone for Soup and being like, do these guys know how to play their instruments? What are they going to play these songs? What is happening right now? And I loved it when they're playing. I loved it. And the jokes were good, but it's like I could hear nine more songs if you would just play them right now.

[Johnny]

That's like people who complain when they go see Blink 182 and they're like. They're so crass in between the songs. And. And I'm like, tell me you don't know Blink182. When people complain about the bullshitting and the jokes at a Blank for Soup show. Like, tell me you've never been to a boy.

[Jeremy]

I know. And it was my first show. I was like, I don't understand what's happening.

[Johnny]

But then, yeah, Bouncing Souls. I'm just like, give me the bullshit. Where's the bullshit?

[Jeremy]

No bullshit.

[Michael Rapaport]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Very serious.

[Johnny]

People cranking it.

[Jeremy]

It.

[Johnny]

Yeah, they really were. Maybe, you know, it's hot.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. I don't know. It's a Friday. It's my second show of the tour. Maybe they're, like, easing into it.

[Johnny]

It was the second show.

[Jeremy]

Suicide Machines did not seem like they're easing into it. They were just ready to go. Awesome start to finish. But, yeah, Bouncing Soul seemed like it felt like his second show of the tour kind of thing.

[Johnny]

Suicide Machines looked like they'd been on tour for the last month straight, and they couldn't be happier. Like, this was it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Is awesome.

[Johnny]

Which is so cool for a band has been around as long as they have.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, yeah. You died, but you survived somehow.

[Johnny]

You. So I wake up. I mean, the night was rough because, yeah, I was hurt. It was just. I went. I went.

[Michael Rapaport]

We went.

[Johnny]

We went hard, right? So I wake up to bruises all over me. Yeah, My. The middle of my chest is got. It's not. You can't visibly see a bruise, but it's. It hurts, like, to touch.

[Jeremy]

You're going to see it in, like, two days.

[Johnny]

And the thing is, I don't know if that came from the show or from Eric just straight punching me in the middle of my chest. Because I've had that many times where I've, you know, put my hand on my chest and I'm like, what happened? And it was. Cause fricking Eric's just swinging.

[Jeremy]

He was swinging at me last night.

[Johnny]

He was. Was that in the car?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, back of the car. He's just free swinging. And I was warning him. Cause drunk Eric gets kind of wild. You don't even know what he's doing. He probably doesn't even know what he's doing. I warned him. I was like, dude, every one swing you throw my way, I'm gonna trap your arm, and I'm gonna give you four very hard punches. I warned him. He. And I did it. And every time he swung at me, four very hard punches. So he. When he finally woke up today, he's like, yeah, I feel all right. I have a very large bruise on my arm, but think I'm doing. It's like, dude, I tried to warn you, man. I don't know.

[Johnny]

He's also. He's someone, too. You're going to tell him exactly what you're going to do. Yeah, don't do it. Yeah, he'll do it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Because he thinks he's going to get away with it. He's like, yeah, all right. You're not going to do it. I'm going to punch you. And then you do it. And then. All right. Everything's even. And then he's like, I'm gonna get away with it, and he's gonna punch it. And you. I'm gonna come back at you again.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

He's like, that's just.

[Host/Announcer]

That's how.

[Johnny]

That guy is crazy. So I'm hurting. Yeah, yeah. My wrist is. I'm. I'm gonna have to wrap it tonight. But here's the thing. A couple weeks ago, I see you, and I break My back.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Day one.

[Johnny]

So I thought. And I know I've covered it on the. On the show, but, like, I. I think we were good. We were good. Like, you showed me kind of some balance things, and I was feeling pretty good about the ramp.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And then, like, the competitiveness in me was like, I can get the board up higher than you on the ramp.

[Jeremy]

Yeah. That was our downfall.

[Sam Jae]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

How did you come away unscathed?

[Jeremy]

Well, okay. I don't know, because I had a close call, too, so I. Same. It's like, well, you want to win? If we're gonna do something where it's like, let's track this. It's like, you want to win. That's just, like, who we are. And so I do the thing where I go up a little bit higher than I was going up, and then it just went out from under me. But I, like. I think I lucked into, like, a pretty good roll. So I hit the ground, but I, like, rolled out of it, and it was fine. You did not have that good fortune. Yeah. You pushed it a little more than we were doing earlier, which, like I said, I did. Flew out from under you. Yeah. And you just smacked, and it was like. It was so brutal. I thought you were, like, gonna die, but just did. The look on Hattie's face. She's just cracking up in the background. It was my favorite thing that's ever happened. Yeah.

[Johnny]

She enjoyed it way more than I. I think I wanted her to enjoy that.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

She.

[Johnny]

That was one of her top five moments in her life, I think, watching me hit that ground.

[Jeremy]

She was dying. I'm like, are you breathing? Are you okay? What do we need to do? She was just dying, laughing.

[Johnny]

I was not breathing, and I completely knocked the. The wind out from under me and.

[Jeremy]

Great.

[Johnny]

Yeah. I mean, that's. That's. That happens, right? It. I mean, doesn't it happen?

[Jeremy]

It happens. That was, like, day one, I was like, oh, well, now he died. This is not good.

[Johnny]

We're gonna. We're gonna air the. The sound.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

Just so the people. Oh, hold on. That's. Let's find the clip because. Hold on. I need to see if. Oh, here we go.

[Jeremy]

Okay, Johnny.

[Michael Rapaport]

Okay.

[Poet/Narrator]

Oh,

[Michael Rapaport]

okay.

[Jeremy]

Oh,

[Michael Rapaport]

okay.

[Johnny]

Oh. I mean, you can watch this on any of our social media platforms. We put the clip up, but, like, you.

[Jeremy]

You.

[Johnny]

You knew it was bad because you. That's you. Yeah. You can hear me?

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Dude, you hit the ground hard, man.

[Johnny]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

And it's just concrete, and it's like, dude, you can't prepare for that.

[Johnny]

What were you think? Because you instantly stopped recording.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Were you. Because. Was it because you were like, I want to see if he's okay.

[Jeremy]

Yes.

[Johnny]

Because like I didn't hit my head so my brain was fine and I instantly. Once I could like talk because I couldn't breathe. Yeah. I wanted to make sure you got it on tape.

[Jeremy]

Oh yeah.

[Johnny]

You feel you got that right? And you did. I'm like, okay, now I can worry about my back.

[Jeremy]

Pretty good angle.

[Johnny]

It was a very good angle. Yeah, no, just a, just an all time drop. It was ground.

[Jeremy]

It was great. And you were. You like.

[Poet/Narrator]

You get that?

[Jeremy]

I was like, yes, I got that. I wish I would have got Hattie laughing. More. More.

[Johnny]

I put it on Tik Tok and huge like 25, 000 people or something. Were, were into it. Look, comments were very supportive. Hey, I did not expect. Get back up there, get on the board. This happens. We all fall. Like I didn't expect the skateboarding community.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, that's the community from last night.

[Johnny]

Yes, it was.

[Sam Jae]

That's.

[Jeremy]

It was.

[Johnny]

It all comes back full circle. Cuz like you, you fall, we're going to pick you back up.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

You know.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Rancid. They said it best.

[Jeremy]

They did.

[Johnny]

When I fall down.

[Jeremy]

See.

[Johnny]

Pick you back up again.

[Jeremy]

Absolutely. It's life lesson. We need more of that in the world.

[Johnny]

We really do.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

Yeah. I think there's a lot to be learned from the skateboard like punk community that we've forgotten. Because I know at one point as a culture, we, we were there.

[Jeremy]

It's true. But then the Internet, I think the Internet teaches you to like point and laugh at other folks no matter what. And if anybody has success, you're supposed to be like, well, yeah, but you

[Johnny]

also suck at this.

[Jeremy]

And it's like, why can't we just be like, hey man, nice job, Keep going. Like just build everybody up. Like, you know what I mean? It's weird. I think it's weird to want to hate on folks all the time.

[Johnny]

But so you can tell that even in this amazing community of people we experienced last night, you can get a taste of some of that hates in there. Because I'm outside of the show waiting for you.

[Carvana Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

And me and Eric. Yes.

[Johnny]

And I'm. I'm wearing this T shirt and this guy comes up and he's like, video killed the radio star, man. And I'm like, I know. And he's like, oh. And he reads my shirt and it says Internet killed The rock stars.

[Carvana Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

This is a mat, son, right?

[Carvana Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And he's like, oh, I read your shirt wrong, man. Oh, I love it. And then we were just bullshitting about the Internet.

[Poet/Narrator]

He.

[Jeremy]

He.

[Johnny]

A little bit of hate came out.

[Michael Rapaport]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

A little bit.

[Jeremy]

Why?

[Johnny]

And then it came back on him.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And he instantly then found a bond. And we were chatting, but you could sense it. You could sense even in this beautiful place we were in.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

This. A little bit of hate was trying to come out.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

And he.

[Jeremy]

Which is weird to me.

[Johnny]

Very weird.

[Jeremy]

Like, why would you. Why you. It's after show. Good vibes everywhere. And this guy comes up with that and ended well. Which is good.

[Johnny]

It ended well because he was like, why?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, exactly, dude.

[Johnny]

Hey, I'm with him, man. I was with him the whole time. Like. Yeah, I know, dude. And then.

[Jeremy]

I know, dude. Yeah.

[Johnny]

Actually reads my T shirt. And then he's like, oh, damn. Yeah. And then we just chat it up. Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Oh, man.

[Johnny]

That's just how it is. You know?

[Jeremy]

It is how it is. I don't know. World's crazy.

[Johnny]

So something I've been asking everybody that's on the show now.

[Akilah Hughes]

Okay.

[Johnny]

Because famously, my shower song is the Thong Song by Cisco.

[Jeremy]

This is true.

[Johnny]

You know this.

[Jeremy]

Yes.

[Johnny]

And not because we're in the shower together or anything. Just because, you know. You know the bit.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Johnny]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

So I'm asking everybody.

[Jeremy]

Clearing that.

[Johnny]

Yeah. I just wanted to put. Clear the air. What the hell's going on there?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Thanks. Wild.

[Johnny]

So what. What's your shower song? What's your go to in the shower? You're singing or you're listening to. Because I've gotten some pushback. I'm not singing. And I'm like, okay, but you turn on some jams.

[Sam Jae]

Like, what's.

[Johnny]

What's your go to?

[Jeremy]

You do? You got pushback? Well, I turn on no jams. Okay. Because I'm getting ready for work. Everybody's sleeping. Like, if I turn on jams, I'm waking up the people.

[Johnny]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

I try to be nice guy.

[Johnny]

What if you. It's been a sweaty day and you want to take a shower and, like, in the evening or something, then what?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, so there's like, a few.

[Michael Rapaport]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

New. Honestly, New girl Time machines is always there. It's just so easy. And then just a lot of it alternates between, like, no effects and Against Me for some reason. Just. They both have a lot of songs that are very singable. I just love it. The Decline's always a good one. It's like 15 minutes. So it's like you just can be singing for 15 minutes, but, yeah, I like it.

[Johnny]

You know every word?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, dude.

[Johnny]

Do you?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Because I was learning how to play it, and if you learn how to play a song, you gotta listen to it a million times, and so I've heard that song an incredible amount of times, and. And I still love it. So that's it.

[Johnny]

Can you play it?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. On bass. I'm playing on bass. I play on drums. That's about. I can't play it on guitar.

[Johnny]

Okay.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]

I. I think we have another episode, then we put together where you play the song.

[Jeremy]

Oh, geez.

[Johnny]

What do you think?

[Jeremy]

No one wants to hear me play that for 15 minutes.

[Johnny]

Let's record you playing bass. Let's record you playing drums. Let's get you playing the guitar and singing it.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Johnny]

Let's make the decline, and let's. We'll make a whole episode out of it.

[Jeremy]

All right, get ready, everybody. You gotta laugh with me, though. You can't laugh at me.

[Johnny]

That's the whole deal.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Johnny]

That's the whole deal.

[Jeremy]

Clarifying. I'm clarifying.

[Johnny]

What do you think we do here?

[Jeremy]

I'm cool. Clarifying.

[Johnny]

I make it very clear from the get that the show is laugh with me.

[Jeremy]

Okay.

[Johnny]

Not at me.

[Michael Rapaport]

Okay.

[Johnny]

We ain't got that bully shit going on.

[Jeremy]

Just saying. Just saying.

[Johnny]

We're love. It's all about love.

[Jeremy]

Just trying to keep it cool, you know?

[Johnny]

Yeah. Unless we're roasting.

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah. Why has there not been, like, a roast edition? You've been doing this for a minute. We need to have a roast. I'd be all in. You tell me when that's happening. I'm in.

[Johnny]

You want to do a roast of. Of what? Me? Sure. You want to do the roast of J.

Well, okay. You got to have thick skin for that one episode.

[Johnny]

[Jeremy]

Betty's return to comedy is this roast podcast.

[Johnny]

I'm still trying to get Betty back. He. He was giving crap the other day. I was like, man, I was at the casino and didn't. It's like the first time in a long time I didn't come out like a big winner. He's like, you got to keep playing, because he's just crushing it right now.

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Johnny]
