Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome back. This is a Laugh with Me, a podcast
with jerreby Ode. But I'm your oh Jo and this
week today we are giving you a little rewind action.
This is one of my favorite episodes of the year.
(00:37):
Twenty twenty five jam packed full of classic laugh with
Me moments, classic laugh with Me episodes, This one in particular,
This one in particular 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
(01:00):
as maybe the crowd thought or the judge whoever whoever
was watching him, like, oh geez, Jeremy, No, it really.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Wasn't that bad. Okay, it was a tough space.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I went out there, I gave him my all and uh,
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 God at 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 for it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Thank you, And I did I did a roast Battle,
and it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
All 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.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But I went in with a strategy.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
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.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
So you also can't lose.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
If you don't try, right, I mean if you can't
if if you don't try you to win, you certainly
you can't lose. That made it made sense in my head.
But uh now this this is back in March. I
did the roast battle. It was a lot of fun. Probably,
I would say.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
There were a couple.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
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.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
People.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
You described as 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 litst Sen. If you haven't heard the episode before
I did my first roast battle.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Uh it was.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I look forward to the second time. I will be
back on the roast battle stage. So if you're listen
and you want some of this, come get some of this.
And I competed in my first roast battle tournament. Yeah,
last Friday night, I competed in the Salty sixteen comedy
(03:15):
Roast Battle hosted by Caleb Salvatory. Actually, thank you Caleb
for having me on the show and 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,
(03:37):
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 it,
(04:00):
you'd be like, yeah, all right, that's good. That's better
than what you know, maybe this guy said, sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You got it. You just have to go a little
harder like these roast battles.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
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
(04:36):
this one's gonna be so out of the box. It's
got nothing new with this person that 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
this sixteen seed tournaments, so sixteen of us battling and
(05:00):
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
(05:22):
gonna write a couple of jokes I can probably say
to anybody, and I don't know that it's necessary.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's not mean.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
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 wanna get some laughs, So
I did.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I put in some time.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I put in some work into writing these jokes. I
had had a whole bunch of jokes written about mister 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 in 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,
(06:11):
I'm not exactly expecting comedic goal, but I am gonna
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
(06:34):
roast battles, I'm looking forward to doing it again. I'm
going on a limit. 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.
(06:55):
I have a different angle I'm gonna take on it,
and I've probably given it a way that it didn't advance. Right.
I didn't win the thing, and that's okay. I am
going to play the audio from the Roast Battle, from
my round of the Rose Battle. I'm gonna play it
here free. We're gonna talk about it. It's gonna be uncomfortable.
(07:15):
I'm just telling you that right now, not because of
the content.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I didn't say anything that was outlandish or vulgar or
anything like that. Although some people did 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
(07:42):
and Grill in Omaha, Nebraska, first time.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
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 and up and that's all right,
Like that's that's the game, right. I also want to
(08:05):
say my opponent Andy, he did a good job personally.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I felt my jokes were better. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I he we were talking before we went on stage.
You know, I ever wanted to meet the guy we're talking.
He had a 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.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And that's that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
That's what that's what you gotta do, right, you gotta
you gotta build him up. I felt like mine more
and 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.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It's okay they didn't. I had a lot of fun.
I don't regret doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
In fact, I'm very very happy I did it, and
I wish I felt better. You know, I wasn't one
hundred percent by any means. Wish I'd have felt better
I could have enjoyed it a little more. In fact,
I did the first round, and I'm gonna spoiler her.
I did lose that first round. But I right after
that left because I've just I didn feel well. I
was tired, but I felt good enough to go up
(09:18):
there and perform. You know, I had committed doing it.
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, uh, yeah, the Roast
Battle Tournament, the Salty sixteen. Man, I I just can't
say enough about it. It was, it was, it was a lot,
It was a good time. Mister I think it was
mister Z in the back doing sound and he had
(09:39):
a mic so he was chirping in uh from time
to time.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And then Caleb hosting.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Uh A great job and it's a great event and
uh look forward to hopefully being a part of it again.
Unless less I did that bad. I mean, you guys
are you guys are here?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Maybe maybe I did made it too bad.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
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'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 to We need to talk about this.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
This next guy has been on this station number of times.
I think he went pretty deep the last time you
read this tournament, ladies and gentlemen going.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Up any decent applause for Andy.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
Sometime an opening comments, I don't really think it's fair
that you're gonna make me roast someone that looks like
a burn victims.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So he hit me with a joke 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.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I thought it was funny. So I'm just standing there laughing.
Wait and again, I haven't been on stage in a while. Okay,
I haven't been on stage anyway.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
He has the podcast as well.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's called The Tails from the Fire, And I'm kidding
he does the podcast though, that's gotta be.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
It was a little funny out today, all right, man,
you were the victim of the first like that was
a cheap shot. It was I can push you right
when gloves you sounds good.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
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.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
You'll be there one day.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay, he's bald, by the way, shaved ball like bald ball. Okay,
So that's where that joke came from. I just got
a fresh haircut that day. Which side 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 a there's there's a specific lady we
(12:39):
call our bad haircut Lady because she gives a bad
haircut to everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And it's not just bad haircut. She takes days. There's
it's a whole thing. You don't have to go.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Back to hear the story about bad haircut Lady. Anyways,
I got bad haircut Lady, but I needed haircuts about
to perform.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
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 fresh haircut, he can never do that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Trust me. I was hoping nobody would.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Notice, right, So, Uh, the closest thing that Ginger Jeremy
will ever come to having a soul is if he
buys a Kia slover.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Notice that my joke got way more laughter than the
random Kia joke. I still don't understand that one.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You don't want to buy a Kia, man, trust me?
And been there all right, Jeremy Joe.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Number two, and then I got voted for you're gonna say,
what buck.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Off dozen eggs? Actually for the haircut. I gotta this
sound Jerremy.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Here he sees his way into the retirement home when
it's cold outside.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We had to pause there. I hit them with the
with the Trump joke. I said, you look like a
guy of 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 eggs. It was meant
(14:25):
to silence. Luckily it moved on. If you notice he
moved on. He came back with the retort immediately. It
felt like eternity in between me finishing and him talking.
Uh that took a long time in my mind while
I was on stage. It turns out it was just
(14:45):
mere seconds. But uh yeah it uh.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
That one bombed to have his way with the unresponsive patients.
It's disgusting, but it has earned the nickname the Giant.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That bombed his joke bomb too. I hit him with
the egg joke. He comes back with some jolly green giant.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Joke.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I still don't understand the joke. I think that's that
fucked me up in the head. As I'm staying on stage,
I'm listening and I'm like, what is he?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
What is like?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
There's a lot of words there. What what is he
even talking about? I'm just happy het bomb too?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Joke three Jeremy, Yeah, I forgot. I forgot that. Joey
Green Giant got me good Andy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
If you know anything about Andy, he's had had much
luck in finding.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Love and one look at you.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Honestly, we just meant today's you have a specific type.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You may not be aware of this. Hopefully you're into Asians.
I thought that one with bomb. Yeah, I thought that
one he looked Asian.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Could be that Asians. I guess this is a passport
brow right here.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Here's the thing, this is, this is I knew that joke.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So here was the joke.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Andy's had a tough time with love. And that's something
he talks about in his act. And he will look
at him and it's obvious who should be who's going
to be attracted to him? He's looking hopefully he's in
Asians because he looks like a guy. White guy, bald head, goatee, beardish.
(16:46):
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.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Here.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Used to play quarterback in high school.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh way.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Yeah, he was the backup though, but he does look
like he has more downs than a football game.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You didn't me with a downs stoke.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I did play football. They didn't let me put all
these uniform and bats, but I never made the field,
I promise.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, the guys, that's not one hundred percent 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 what he just
threw out, a random quarterback joke. Down syndromes. I don't
(17:59):
have downs, damn. I mean, I might look like I
drank mountin deus a kid, but I certainly don't have
downs so far, if you're paying attention, I felt like
I did. Okay, I see both of them are like
(18:19):
a sweet dating event for some reason.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Once they host here at beach House. If you're single,
by the way, that's Scott. Who do you think one? Nope?
I was like, I think the winners was these two
guys sitting.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Over here at the table of wour with the wives
that want to go to the strip club.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, I heard that ship. They said they're going after here,
they said they are afterwards. I heard that ship.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
All right, I will need one more got between the
two of you and you go ahead, started.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
A song at this overtime right here, all right?
Speaker 7 (18:56):
So, uh, Jeremy has a podcast, but it's so bland
that I've got more flavor out of.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
A box of cheese. Its Andy.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
That joke bomb so hard, no laughs, because everybody knows
this ain't a bland podcast.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
He hasn't his act.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It costs nothing to be a nice person, but it's
also free to be an asshole. I'd also like to
add free is what your working looks like.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, I like your sneakers. Thank you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That joke bomb and it was good.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Yeah, we became friends with them. I regret coming to overtime. Man,
the community or you are probably no bois. He's always
going to be a roast saying it was gonna be
a funny one.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
All right.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
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 were funny, but there
has to be funniest. For instance, there have been thirty
five school shootings in.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
The United States this year. None of them were funny.
With by waw, they're must have been the funniest school
shooting this year.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Funny typically, so these super school shootings, I want you,
guys to make her some to the funniest ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
If you think any one one make some noise, whoa
what one. They got love for that. I love it.
If you think Jeremy other than one makes the noise.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I want to.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Anyone slight falls, Special Olympics, Special Olympics.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
It's like a make a wish first 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 him on again.
I'm not scared.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
I one hundred do not feel like.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
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.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I lost.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I lost the round. I'm just saying it.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I thought it was closer than what it was being
led on to be.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And uh, everybody had a good time, right, So that
was the Salty sixties.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I look forward to.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Battling again. I hope I will get my rematch and Andy,
I don't know if you listen to the pot or not.
It sounds like maybe you don't said it's a little planned. Hey,
if you do, man, you're welcome to come on the
show and we can you know we can have the
rematch and there you have it. That's the Laugh with Me,
(22:13):
rewind I did a roast battle. Well now I'm gonna
do it again too, damn it, I really am.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
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.
