The Glenn Beck Program - Ep 154 | Jim Breuer Doesn't Care if You Think His Comedy Is Too Political | The Glenn Beck Podcast

Episode Date: September 17, 2022

These days, everything is political, and comedy has been one of the biggest victims. Comedians are told to walk on eggshells. But Jim Breuer doesn’t care. He’s going to walk wherever he damn well pleases. On this episode, the hit stand-up comedian and "Saturday Night Live" alum joins Glenn for a laugh-out-loud chat about why he’d rather be funny than fearful. Breuer also reveals his favorite comedian of all time, what inspired his comedy special, “Somebody Had to Say It,” and his secret for dealing with tough times. And he’s seen his share. But he’s also seen miracles, including the incredible (and hilariously told) story of how God saved his marriage.

slash Glenn. What a pleasure. You are hysterical. But I, yeah, well, I want to start at a place probably people talking to you would not start at. I want to talk about how you deal so well with death and your dad's death, your wife being so sick. You have such a great outlook on that. I think when you have a deeper depth of life, of faith, you have God in your life and you understand that we're not living forever,

I think we have a serious problem with nobody knows or understands once we move into the next dimension, death or whatever you want to target. We're all going to die. And humanity took care of each other for a lot. long time, not until, I don't know, it's seen, I remember being a kid and it's like, oh, grandma's in the basement, listen, grandma, she says crazy things. Her mind's not there. Right. So, you know, grandma, bringing someone down. She's barking and she's talking about whatever. Is it an elephant? We got to feed them by three o'clock. Okay. And we had people in the house

somewhere along the line they're like you've got to make a billion dollars and go over there and you're very important but your dad yeah put them in a home and we lost that we've lost that connection with humanity and my parents were

I don't know I think I reflect a lot I take a lot of time to reflect and think about life in general what's what's really important am I going to I remember when I begged the God in my whole life, please. I don't care how much money you make. I don't care what goes on.

Please let me be there for that man. I don't want him alone. This man grew up with 10 brothers and sisters in Dayton, Kentucky. They just got shoes there. Sorry, Dayton. But it was in World War II. I mean, he basically lived in hell for a long time. And he never complained.

He gave me his life. I was an accident. I wasn't supposed to happen. So the least, when you think the way you're taking care of as a child, as you grew up, my feeling is the least you can do is drop your very important world and your suburban or whatever you think makes you important and keep going to sacrifice to look after them as they as they start heading towards their end. They take care of you. That's the circle.

But we don't, we don't understand the circle anymore. Don't you think this is a conversation I want to have with God. Don't you think it would be better if the circle were reversed? You came out an old person. Yeah. And then you've, then you just got younger and younger. So your kids had the. this cute little baby that just disappeared one day.

Yes. I mean, but technically it is kind of saying because you still dropping deuses in your pants. Except for they're a lot bigger when they're 80, 90 years. You've talked about this with your dad. Yes. And that was a big, that was a big breakthrough. You know. Tell the story about taking your dad on tour and tell his story.

All right. So, I mean, I took him on tour all the time. So I think you're referring to the documentary more than me. And that's when I filmed everything with my dad. But I took him out all the time. I just, I knew this might be the last time. So I told the camera guys, listen. Film, but concentrate on him and we'll make blogs or something like that.

And I also realized that gave him so much light. gave him so much life so much to live for at that time he's hanging out with the guys you couldn't really get around but then i also you got to humble yourself when they do have an accident which wasn't uh we're not they teach you all they want about panstilion in third grain and if you're not paying attention they'll drug them your child has ADHD which means he's not sticking to the program drug that kid. We're so sorry for your child's problem and issue. These drugs will help you. Jeez. Can you get any more demonic? No, it's for the children.

This bill will make them understand things better. Yeah, he understood when he was in first grade going, are we in prison or do we have to learn about geometry? Should we learn about taking care of one another? What are we learning here? Sit down. your child has an issue he's not going to be one of us

you want him to go to college be successful don't you learn from professors they love that word but that's all things you gotta when the first time he he dropped the deuce in his pants

he soiled himself that was I could see the look in his eye. I saw the look in his eye. And it was pure humiliation. And I just felt at that moment in time, it was my duty. No pun intended.

But it would be an honor to let him know as much as possible. Hey, hey, don't. Let's have fun with it. It is what it is. What are we going to do? What are we going to do? Let's just go with it.

And I actually learned a lot more about him. And I had to start showering him because he gave up. He gave up after a while. And when he gave up... What do you mean he gave up? He gave up. My mom gave his car away. And that happens with a lot of elderly people.

That was the end of my grandfather, too. Yes. So I would, he would go, if we need the car, I'm not going to use it. I know you're not going to use it because you can't even walk. But that was, that's the, Yeah, and it's the last independence they have.

Once the elderly lose their independence, they lose so much. They don't want to be a burden. They want to be able to go, store in their own. They want to be able to do things on their own. I mean, think if you and I, we can't go anywhere and we have to always rely on people. And then you see the looks on the people that we have to take care of you and are like, hi, Dad. You know, I got one second. It's getting old. Interfying with my life. God. God. Hate making sex.

I think it all just, you figure it out, but you really have to deprogram yourself. They do a good job programming you for a long time. Back with more with the incredible Jim Brewer. But first, let me just pause to talk to you about Relief Factor. Are you in pain? Have you had pain where you're like, I can't. just can't do it anymore. Have you tried everything? Have you, uh, have you gotten to the point to where you've kind of just said, uh, this is the way I'm going to live? That's the way I was about five

years ago. Please get your life back. I can't tell you the relief of pain that has happened in my life. And it could happen in your life. 70% of the people who try, um, relief factor go on to order more month after month. 1995. It's a quick start trial pack. right for three weeks. Doesn't work. Stop taking it. But if it does, you'll get your life back. Relieffactor.com.

Relieffactor.com. So what was your childhood like? Because you, you, talk about your... Oh, I had the greatest childhood in life. Right. I had the greatest childhood in life. But your dad fought in World War II.

Yes. He did not have a good childhood. And he did not have a good childhood. And he, well, he might have been there for you. Tell me about him because he, was, oh, he was always there. But he, but didn't he have... He didn't say a word.

Yeah, didn't say a word. Never said a word. But he was always, the only time he say something, if he honestly thought I was going off the rails a little bit, he'd come in like, wait, wait, what's going out of you? There's nothing. And that's all you do. Hmm.

And that was enough for me like, like, right. Me. But he, and I saw him, that's another thing, in my 20s, which also helped think about him more. Because I would try to learn his history and I would try to learn why he was the way he was. Because he was, everyone loved him because he was belly laughing funny. Belly laughing funny. Is that where you get it?

No, I didn't I didn't really understand his humor until after he didn't he didn't show his humor Until we had a drink together and I turned 21 Mm-hmm, and matter of fact, this is what happened I turned 21 and he goes I have you're mad now so I well, let's we don't have a beer I said sure yeah, I don't have a beer and I went my dad we went to this place called swamp water owls Palm Harbor, Florida. We're like the only ones not wearing a hat. We're the only ones that don't have like, you know,

stringy hair off the chin. And I remember I was getting, you know, I don't know what to talk to him about. We're having a beer and I was such a jerk. I think I was, you know, I was 21. So I go, I'm right back. I'm just going to go outside for a second. I got to talk to some.

I went out. I think I caught a buzz. Totally. And then I'm catching a buzz. Forget him outside. I'm talking to a couple people. And then like, I got to get in by my dad. And I'll never forget this.

I walked in. And as I walked in, I looked where we were standing. And I saw all these young guys looking down. And I thought, oh, my God. He's. Yeah, he's having a hard attack. So I go running over there and they're howling. with laughter

howling and I literally you'd never seen your father funny I've heard it like we'd be in my I'd be a kid and we'd have a barbecue and I'd have to go to bed and I'd hear in the back patio

like at midnight everyone else going ah I can't oh my God oh my God Jim Jim oh my God and I didn't

Like here in high school, I would have people go, I was on your, your father's gym too? I go, yeah. I was on your father's garbage truck this year. No. I don't, I got, your father's the funniest human being ever met my life. I went, my dad is? Wow.

Wow. Like, what? He's like, yeah, you have no clue. He made my whole summer. Really? Really? And so when I came back to that moment, I look and it was him. He's 5'9 foot 9.

He's holding court. And all my kids' lives, my hand to God, I'll never forget it. This guy turns around and he goes, this guy's hilarious. You got to listen to him. And that's my dad. And I swear to God, he goes, can I hire him for a party? And then I watched him hold court for hours with these college kids. Some of the things like, what was he talking about?

I can't repeat a lot of it, but he was one after the yawther, after the yonder. I don't know where you could go on the podcast. There's no rated G, and I don't even think there's PG-13. But he would just do that. He would look at the waitress going to buy and look at the kids. Do you think you can handle that? You think you're going to handle that? And I want to put you right back when you're dying.

And yeah, he was, so that's when I discovered your dad. My dad. And we, oh, we'd have great times. But he also, I also knew he was a lot older. me when he was going on 45. So that was another thing. Like I knew we couldn't do sports or whatever, but we do fun stuff in a pool or we'd always compete with little things, botchy or whatever.

Yeah, and it was great. My childhood was incredible. We grew up on a street in Long Island where everyone looked after each other. I mean, there was a range of kids between. Some of us were six years apart, but I looked after them like little brothers. And they looked at me like a big brother. And the older kids looked at me like a little brother. And then even the girls on the street, we all, all the neighbors, it's not that they, you know, if you didn't like each other, that's okay, but you still should know each other.

And when, I mean, everyone knew each other. And that's another lost art that has happened in this country. It's, it's mind boggling. It's just mind boggling. the um and back then you didn't if you got out of hand someone else's mother would be like does your mother know that you're because i'm going to let her know unless you're gonna tell her don't tell my mom i got to tell you mom jim yeah i'd hear that all the time aren't you the bet kid yeah no i know your parents you'd be like oh right right yeah right right so it was a great

childhood and um yeah it's not like i came from this terrible world so who did you learn two things from first of all the compassion is that just something that is developed in you or who did you learn that from she knows how did you blouse no the devil wears prodig too he's the movie event 20 years in the making honestly can't with the secrets anymore so i think we just we should tell her Will you two please spit it out already? This Friday be the first to experience it only in theaters. In light of the recent scandal, I'm sure to restore your credibility. Oh, because we're a team now.

That's a nice story. The Devil Wears Prada 2 in theaters Friday. I think that... I think that's in everyone, unless it's beaten out of you. so and what I mean by that is it's it's I don't it's not one particular person it's it's watching it

it's learning it's studying it it's watching I remember my wife's grandparents just to and I have to give her credit you know her husband was passing away my wife's grandfather and that was the first time I saw someone crawl in bed to hold them to pass away.

I just, wow, that's, wow. I know you can do that. They have to go away. And growing up, I mean, you learn in school, the kids that are picked on, I, you know, I'd get in a couple scraps. You learn real quick growing up how mean society. can be you know we'd had slow kids at school and they're the ones picked on so that would cause a lot of fights and and then the most vicious kids in school who I couldn't stand then you find out oh well their father beats them or their their grandfather

there's something happened to them and even though it well it doesn't help the fingers the punch marks on my chest that they left for no reason but you understand like wow I don't know what that's like because I don't have that so I think I think compassion you learn along the way if you're open to it and I don't know if we're open to it as much I mean you're go ahead no I think we are I think the demons and I call them demons um have taken over everywhere that you're that you got your mind in eyes locked into from the time you grew up. It's, it's, it's, uh, movies, television, news networks,

all of it. And it's not, it's not so much, you know, people are concentrated on the stars are on there. Well, they should concentrate on who's programming it. Who's the one saying, yes, put more of this out there. And make sure we damn anyone who's not vaccinated. You know, you're watching hit TV shows and you're watching celebrities going, if you're watching, you're watching late night television. And they've did. They've lost their soul, their minds, everything. If you're not vaccinated, you shouldn't be treated. What do you?

Have you lost your mind? you have and you should not have an airwave to put out such hatred we have been programmed you know it drives me nuts when I say one nation under God well if you honored God what we push in our daily lives are judgment hate violence sodomy it's everything opposite of God and we celebrate it that Ego. That's what's... So if I sit here and I make a million dollars,

but I did it through creating a sex ring and pushing drugs, and you came in here, made a million dollars because you're a lawyer. It doesn't matter. We're in the same financial field. And that is an extremely dangerous God to look up to. and that is what I feel has really taken over our society,

if not most of the world at times. So let me see if I understand this, because I just went all over. I apologize. No, no, no, that's good. No, it's good. Where are we? I think we start over there.

I've been saying for a while that it's not that it's not that we aren't, to religious people or don't worship God. We just worship our own gods. Could be your car, could be your job. Right now it's a lot of people's job or their station in society. They're not willing to do the right thing or say the right thing. Is that

what you're saying? Absolutely. Yeah. And the it's like morals. I sit there and everything is, well I'm saying that too, but if you turn on television, I noticed this when I was a kid I'd watch the news and that's the first time when I realized

what is the news? Because they don't bring anything good. Every day death, horror, murder, kidnapping, terrorist, disease, Bedwether, and your team lost. See them all. With the facts and the channel

you trust brought to you by all these sponsors keep pushing it oh my God how do you not see that and then I'd hear people go well people don't want to hear

good news says who it's who it's never been tried if you came out with 5 10 15 channels every day you're life. You were not going to believe what happened today.

Carol broke her hip and she almost died. And then her neighbor's game and they baked the cake and they did this and this one's got cancer. And if you know anyone that got cancer, I guarantee you things would change like that. If that's all you saw 24-7.

So the mindset of anyone that says well, it doesn't really sell is a fool. It's kind of like, I mean, as simple as uh what is that that chill used to be on you know move that bus and they the whole community got together to take some family and they trans you know just transformed their house and yes it was always such a good story right good feeling yes that was number one yes it's number one right thank you

this house nothing for god i got a couch i got a couch um yes there's a lot of goodness, but, in my opinion, the devil's got a killer entertainment agents. Yeah, he does. Killer. But it's time to start pointing them out. Hey, let me just take a second here away from the comedy of Jim Brewer and talk to you about pre-born. We know that abortion has been a horror show in this country, 63 million babies since the

beginning of Roe versus Wade. The blue states and California, I just talked about it this week. Proposition 1 is going to make infanticide, I think infanticide legal. It will at least positively take it up to a birthday abortion. On their birthday, they can be killed. It's going to get worse in some states. We're battling evil. And to battle evil, we have to battle evil, we have to battle it with good and battle it with truth, eternal truths. I want to talk to you a little bit about pre-born. This is a company that we've been working for. It's more of a ministry than a company, but they're the direct competitor of Planned Parenthood. They are in California. They are in New York. They are in wherever the largest providers are of abortion. And we have made a goal of 50,000 babies,

saving 50,000 babies this year. The way they do it is when a mom comes in, they do an ultrasound. When a mom hears the heartbeat for the first time, when she can see the baby, she's 80% more likely to choose life. That's why they have to stop them. Please join us, will you? I want you to just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, and support any way you possibly can. make a donation to preborn, save 50,000 babies this year, we can do it.

A lot of the problem has come from comedians being afraid or actually being part of it. I don't know what happened to comedy. I think, yeah. You know, I think people would say if they would watch, let's say somebody had to say it, they would say, oh, this is very political, but it's not. It's not. Glenn, what blows my mind is how many people say, oh, you're political now. I ask them, what part is political?

First, I'm talking about you trying to stick a needle on me. Is that political? Or did you get conned and brainwashed to think it's political? When is medicine political? That alone, I love when people go, what do you have some type of conspiracy? theorist? I'm a conspiracy theorist because I'm questioning

putting a needle and when I said, what's the results? We don't know yet. Oh! Okay. Okay. So let me ask you. If I don't take it, I got a

99.9, but with it, I got less? Oh, give it to me. what is going on? And how is that political? But that is what another thing that's genius that I see has happened here is everything is categorized. You're liberal, you're conservative, you're Democrat, you're Republican, you're this, you that. And I beg people to don't label yourself. you do in my opinion

you're doing yourself a dishonor if this is good this is good this person's good this person's good because the minute you label yourself you reduce well neither that it's here it's sports analogy you join a team

I have people in my family it's like I'm a Democrat and I vote Democrat and I'm gonna I said well what if that Democrat no 1960s join the union I'm not union, my Democrat, not Kennedy. Yeah.

I get it. But that was... That used to be my grandparents. They were Democrats because of FDR. And nothing could change their mind. Right. So, and here's the problem. A, you got the professional wrestling.

Or this side wants to do this. It's really funny. And this side... wants to put up a wall when I say let everyone in love for everyone how many shirts are how many of you're doing pretty good

all right Bob let's go have a steak you play the bad guy next year you got it when you join a team here's an analogy I would always say I used to when I'd watch baseball all the time

die hard Mets fan okay now die hard Mets fan when you join a team, you forget about your morals because you're dedicated to a team. And that's fine and good until the team does something really gnarly. You know, I remember the first time

a couple Mets players were accused to hitting their wives. And that's the first time I went, now, wait a minute, we don't know their culture. and there might have been a club we didn't get the whole story yet so keep listen we don't know where if that was my brother or that was my neighbor I'd be like hey you're all right because that's you got issues and you have to deal with them you don't you don't do what you just did like that's just that's the law of the that's that's the moral code you don't hate a woman it's wrong with

you but it's on your team hey well you don't know and that's when you're i'm a democrat and no matter what it's i've never seen a society controlled so well with just a name you could throw out the name trump oh it sells no matter what it sells no matter what and it's it baffled my mind that the haters are still. But I tell people, listen, you know the phrase love is blind? Hate is blind and more blind. Hate will make you blind. It'll make you make blind decisions.

It'll blind your emotions. It'll blind your common sense. But they're doing a good job. What kind of price have you paid for being called political? Even though I don't think you are. I'm not. Yeah. I'm 100% not.

To be dead honest with you, once COVID really kicked in, and I already know that I think I came to terms a long time ago. And again, once you realize we're not going to be here, we are on borrowed time. I do have God in my life. You just, you come to terms with reality on a deeper level. And when COVID kicked in, I said, you know what? All bets are off. I already knew I wasn't in control. But now not only am I not in control from the natural order of life,

but now the puppet masters. that are in control, just let us all know, you know, I will decide when you can do things and what you have to do to go back to your natural pleasures. I don't know why I always go to an English accent. To me, it's just more devilish. Perhaps I should put the ears out. Sire, do you think they're catching on

of all sadistic ways for centuries and that quite frankly they never did free themselves. How they love to pretend they're voting. Yes, sire. Yes, sir. Do you think they'll ever snap out of it? Not as long as we have television. Send the thunder.

Who? But what I was going to say was there's not enough time anymore. It never was time, but it made me realize I don't have time to worry about what people think of me. I know where I'm at in life. I know where I'm at spiritually. I know where I'm at with my family.

I know where I'm at in life. And tremendous power. Spooks the hell out of people. But it shouldn't. I know. But when... I'm excited that other people get this. Yeah.

I'm not worried about what people think. Why? Because they're still like, they're still like, they're stuck. We ain't got time for stock. To me, this is the time of you got to rise. For years and years and years, you allow fear to control your life. Fear of dying, fear of I might get sick, fear of my kid might not make a no sick. Everything's based on fear.

It's time for the fearless. It's time for the fearless. I really think the biggest fear we deal with is the common fear of, I'll be found out. You know, I'll be found out. I'm a fraud. I'm not really what it. Or whatever. We, we, we, we, well, there is a lot of that. Yeah, we feel like, I mean, we are the craziest self-hating egotomaniacs. But we've been, we've been conditioned for that.

Yes. We're in a system. matrix whatever you want to call this if you really like i always i love natural humanity i love watching tribes um and when you watch them then i started realizing the words that we've used to condemn them they're not very modernized they're not civilized they're not educated all the words that we enslaved you for years. Wear these pants. Go to school. Sit down.

They live for the day. All of life's existence lives for the day. We're the only ones like, well, I gotta go to school and then 20 years or not. I take my money and I'm going to bet that money. And I get my car and I drive that way. I remember being in Australia, I don't know, I was on Senate Live

and we went to Australia and I was more fascinated with the Aborigines and I talked with one and he just, he goes, you to us you all look like ants you just march aimlessly and you don't even know where you're going

he goes we because I was asked him because they were all gathering under trees You're like in Sydney and there be a tree. What are they doing? They're like, oh, well, they're gathering. The women are over there. The men are over there. And they're discussing the day and they laugh about the day and they live for the day.

Tomorrow hopefully brings them a new day. There's something to be said about that. When you go to Africa, you know, people are like, oh, he's poor Africa. They're not, they're the ones that are living off the land, they're not unhappy. They love life. I went last year, they're living in what I would have called a fort when I was nine years old. I mean, I got pictures. It literally is, I went to this village where they have the bushes around them to keep, hopefully the predators, to keep going.

and then their huts I did awesome pictures it's literally it's literally like when we were kids like you were going for it yeah okay let's just go get some stuff and you come back and you're like what do you got

you're like well I've got a cardboard box awesome I found some old sweatshirts oh my god it's great some two by fours and a baby carriage we can do this and literally it's shirts bags

sticks and it's a fort and there's just like a dress that's the door and you go in and they got it set up and it's like they're like this is this is amazing and we created this

and they're not making money they're just living life to the fullest at the moment and they're in tune with spirituality and God and they're in tune that everything is connected.

All this has been so viciously planned to be deprogrammed of. It's in everyone. And I get excited when people discover it. I get excited when the light beams inside someone. I get excited when someone gets that, wow, moment, and they see life completely differently. and they start shedding all the stuff that they thought was so valuable. I think COVID.

And I think COVID was the beginning of that, big time. Some people, I mean, I do with my family, we look at it as a blessing. I mean, it's horrible, horrible stuff happened. No, but it was a blessing. 100%. I got in trouble with conservatives after Barack Obama's administration because I said, I actually look at him. and I'm grateful in some ways because I learned who I was.

I learned more about my country. I learned more about the things that I thought I knew that I didn't know. Right. It's good. And there is no bad per se. It's what are you going to do with it? What are you going to do about it? Everyone's complaining.

Everyone's saying, that's another thing. That's another game. They just get you to moan and complain and yell at the TV. What are you going to do? What are you doing? You're just complaining? But yes, I agree with you. COVID, that was, that was it for me. I didn't care what people thought. As long as my intention continues to be and will always be, I may fall off the mark here and there,

but I have intentions that are, I can honestly say, are pure for humanity. I really want to see humanity thrive. And it pisses me off when I feel. it's being taken advantage of. And back to that, it was a long damn answer. I don't care if people want to say, oh, he's this now. And I bet you he voted for that.

That's on them. I don't have time for them. We don't have time for them anymore. They'll catch up eventually. You know, I was talking to a guy who makes sweatshirts. You remember the old, like, high school sweatshirts. I mean, if you're my age, you'll remember them. But they were made in America.

those machines and the people that had that skill, they don't exist in America anymore. We have to rebuild our apparel industry, making fabrics that you would think would be really easy. Making socks. Not so easy. It's not so easy. And especially not in America. Well, things are changing with grip six. If you want socks that will keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter,

Sox made with the latest in wool technology, and they're made right here in America. You don't have to look any further than Grip 6. I wear them. I love them. I think you will, too. Put your trust and hard-earned money in a company that does it right here in America. Let's rebuild America. Go to Grip6.com slash Beck.

You know, it's interesting. I don't know if you can come to this without some great struggle in your life. I mean, you know, at the height of, you know, my popularity, I'm at Fox and I'm, I'm, I go from the world's, this is bull crap. I tell my kids all the time. Neither of these things are true. Just understand this. I was the third most admired man in the world one year. I was working at CNN.

The very next year, I'm working at Fox, and I'm one of the most despised people. And I just, I laugh about it. I'm like, I'm neither that nor that. But after you have been pushed and pushed and pushed, a good person, a person, I think a human, forget good person. A human says, am I some of those things? And you start to take everything out of you and look at it and go, oh, I see that. You know, and I want that or I don't want that. And that takes struggle.

Oh, without a doubt. I'd be the first admit. I struggle all the time, nonstop, still do, trying to figure things out, trying to figure out how to move on, how to awaken more people, how to not sound too categorized, not to come off angry. That's usually my biggest struggle,

because I realized as a kid, I felt I had a gift from God to make people laugh. But with that gift, it comes with a special order. So usually my first, my comedy comes to me when I'm pissed. Me too. And I'm over the top. So, okay, so all you saying is, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So I get that, that, oh, yeah, of course.

You're educated, so you're better. Continue. Right. Right. You know, so. That lacks a certain bit of Christ like humility. Yes. So I have, that is my, that's when I go, okay, Jim, you know what you're angry at.

How do you present this, but find the humor so that the, preaching to the, preaching to the choir will obviously laugh but the uh one on the other side will go hmm oh wow okay huh and i had that from the special i had that i had people come up to me go i was so pissed at you because you know i was caught up and da da da da da and goes and i you made me and now i just i can't believe what i was falling for. I can't believe it. And I'm like, well, you got to make it look crazy. That Broadway show is one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen. I mean, thank you. You are, it's funny. It is well thought out. It is, it's, uh, it's brilliantly performed. I mean, that is, where did that come from? That was from anger. Anger.

Anger. I was performing at the stress factory in New Jersey. I was living in New Jersey, and everything was closed, so no one could work. And then even when it was sort of coming back, still comedians couldn't work. Entertainers weren't working. My friend Vinnie, he calls me out. He's like, gee, I got, because everyone's also trying to figure out how to beat the system. We're going to put a tent in the street.

people doing anything to make a business. He had a tent outside, which was hilarious because it was behind a parking lot. So every once why I'd be doing a show and you hear, I was coming in for the closer and competing against the Harley for 20 minutes. Or I would be out there and we'd hear a couple yelling at one another.

And then I'd have to pull the banner. I was like, is that really all right? So, but during that time, it was full blown. You got to wear a mask at the, at the, when you check in, and when you walk in, you got to wear a mask. But when you sit down, you can take it off. Okay. Okay. Danger, safe.

Danger. safe that's what the CDP says and we should all listen at everything they say Dr. Fauci Yeah, if you stand and put it on if you sit and take it up Wow

Wow Wow So I would work out there And you know I'd compare everything as Nazism Because that's Hey You taught me in school

what they did, they taught you to snitch on one another. Well, guess what? If you see people or children in your neighborhood, if you just change the accent now, what's the difference? You put on a little, you know, a little happy dress and they're like,

if you see anyone outside, there are a danger to society and you care about your family and children, don't you? You call the local authorities. You had mayors, despicable, disgusting.

They're not human. They're disgusting. And they should be held accountable. All of them. Every single last one of them. Every mayor, every governor that shamed you, terrorized you, tore your family apart, made you lose your job,

divided everybody. Those are the most disgusting display of humanity. And these are the people that are controlled. my life and your life that they're taking my money from and doing whatever they want with it. I don't have a choice where my taxes go. So that time, that's how I saw it. I saw it as a complete takeover. And then in my own house, you know, these kids are all indoctrinated.

So the kids are like, dad's crazy. Hey, man, your father's putting up. and I saw what they were going through. I had nieces. You know, I had my daughter come up to me, and a niece that I love, said, uh,

dad, is everything cool because everyone thinks you're, you know, you're making wacky videos. And I understand why it happened, but that's why I had to get that out there. And Noam was talking about it.

Everyone was still, like I didn't I felt we're a war a hundred percent this is war however you want to describe it's a war in your it's a war in your common sense it's a war on the control of your life it's the war on your spirituality it's the war of your conscience and your mind and it's not a game it's real and unfortunately humanity doesn't believe believe that evil exist and boy does it exist does and you be horrified when you realize where they're all located and I'm not sure some people can handle that but I think the ones that can are very ready very ready they're done I am so that's where the comedy came from

While all that was going on my head, I was like, I'm going to shut out. We need to wake people up. Let me tell you. I had a trampoline, and I'd be listening to old metal music. I would listen to Damage Incorporated by Metallica, and I'd listen to the first two minutes. It was like, and I'd be a general on a hill going, are we going to let them just take our children away from us? I can't hug my grandmother

I can't visit her in her home because I won't put a needle on my neck Is this where we're at life? And just as a song would peek And like, charge! And so I would give speeches of my head Like how to wake up humanity And the best thing in the world

Was hearing so many people people when I'd finish a set every single time. Some of them were on the brink of tears. Some of them, they were so grateful. They were so grateful. And that's when I realize, I don't care if you're going to think I'm political. I don't care how you're going to categorize me. So many people were saying, thank you.

Thank you for saying that. Thank God somebody saying it. And that's why I named it that. Every show, somebody has to say this. Thank God you're saying this. Somebody had to say it. Wow. And I think I named it like the night of the show.

Literally. I was like, huh. Everyone's been saying this for months. Somebody had to say it. 60% of the vans on Amazon come to venders independent, like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille, of Sac Magic.

Our compresses of colds are fabriced here even, with the tissues that we're chisette and the aviose to signet. Our presence on Amazon

enlarge our basin of clientele to the world entire. Sack magic, it's the compress that all the world prefer.

At the from here, we're grandi. Trouvey of the other. Like the another.

On Amazon.C. I took an opinion that I've held for a long time today and just kind of came out on the

year about something called the convention of states, which is, you know, the states having a constitutional convention. And I've been for it for a long time. And because they're just things that Congress is just never going to do. And today, I've been thinking about it for a while. And I believe our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were divinely inspired. You listen to any of Benjamin Franklin

said the hand of God was there with us. And they, at one point when they couldn't agree on things, one of them suggested, we all need to go to church. And they all went to church, and they all prayed together. And then they came back and it was solved. And I said, today, I said, I'm no longer for the Conventionist. Because this is a sacred document, and I don't think we are anywhere near where we should tampering with something divine. We're not those people right now. No, not even close to it.

Right. So when you say that, because I'm not educated in that kind of point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't mean, and I don't mean to make it political. I'm just saying, no, no, no, but I'm curious what you're, so you're saying your, your constitution. I'm a constitutionalist. I am too, 100%. Yeah, yeah. 100%. I think the vast majority, even if Democrats, if you push them to the edge, and this is changing, unfortunately, but if you push them and say, forget about everything else, forget about it. Are you for me being able to speak? Won't you still give your life, even if you really disagree with me?

Well, this is when I feel when I watch it, it looks so ridiculous and so insane. And to me, and I have no. no investment on either side. Shouldn't. You'd be a fool to. They're the people running things now. And you know what? This is also good too because I've never heard anyone.

I haven't heard so many people talk about the Constitution in my whole life. And again, this is all waking up so many people. So many people have never realized, hey, yeah, you know, First Amendment. That's kind of a biggie. Right. It's kind of a biggie. And the second one, that's quite a biggie too. And we are being taken over.

There's no if-ends what's about it. We're being taken over. They're taking the Constitution. and they could play all the games they want. There was a shooting. And I've got to take home. You can't say that. They're going like this.

What's up, America? Where did you learn to tell a story? I don't know. I was a fat kid. And I think that was the first defense. I don't know. But I think everyone was animated. When I was a kid, I was animated.

I was on a street. I was imitating everything. I just, I mean, you are in the category, I think, you're in the category of Jonathan Winters and Robin Williamie. Oh, but he was my all-time favorite. Brilliant. They could, they were brilliant. They were brilliant. Yes.

And they both could, I go back to your Broadway show. They could both spontaneously do a Broadway show. Yes. And you strike me as cut from that same cloth. Well, I think maybe I'm, they were definitely huge. influences in my life. Jonathan Winters made me laugh so hard. And I got to meet him. Oh, wow. Yeah. I got to meet him for literally 15, 20 minutes. I'll never forget it. I was in Montreal. I was on the slave board. And what that is, they would bring comics to the Montreal Comedy Festival.

And we do the shows and they auction us off. Well, we got Jim Brewer, but I'm going to have 40,000 NBC, 150,000 from Disney. CBS wants them for $200,000. $200,000. And a two-year garage, oh, Disney just slept up, you know. And it was great at the time. You wanted to be part of it. And I was all, eh. And I got to be a jet and leather pants. I'm getting monkeys and a kangaroo.

I'm going to be so successful. Are monkeys and a kangaroo part of them? I wanted a kangaroo so bad. I wanted to walk in the mall with it. people will be like the guy's really successful guys huge oh Jim Brewer

yeah he lives him down guy's a gazillioner he comes there in his helicopter he goes in the mall everyone knows you'll see you'll see the kangaroo so I go I'm walking by this

this breakfast place in the hotel because all the comics stay in the hotel and oh my gosh this is early in my career too i want to say it's like 93 94 um right right before i really got into the Hollywood scene where they were just like who's this yeah it's crazy see if we can pull his limbs apart um and he's sitting in there and he's coming out And I want to say, I want to say he was with David Brenner. Whoever he was with, I feel bad because I don't remember the other person. I'm pretty sure it was like David Brenner.

And we were waiting. I'm like, oh, my gosh, out. And he came out. And I went, Mr. Winters, I just want to say I'm a big fan. I'm a comedian. He goes, way from him, kid. And I went, New York, New York, right on the subways. What do that?

You can't do that. Step back on. Excuse me, I've got a computer conference. Make sure you change that Jamaica. And he went on for what seemed 15, 20 minutes. A little crowd started gathering. And he was like, all right, what's your name? Jim.

Good to meet you, Jim. Keep it up. And then he just left. I'm like, I had a Jonathan Winner's moment. Wow. It was awesome. I had a Richard Pryor moment and had a Jonathan Winner's moment. What was your Richard Pryor moment?

Richard Pryor was I always, I just wanted to see him live. but he was towards the end of his life and I went to the LA the comedy store and I would go there every night to like maybe he'll show up

and this is stupid he ain't gonna show why would he show up that's stupid he's sick and then the last night there I'm sitting in the back there's maybe 12 people in there and as I'm about to leave the emce goes we have a special guest hang out

he's going to take him a little bit but please welcome Richard Pryor and I'm like what and I turn and I see him and he's being helped by about three or four guys and they help him on the stage and he was

himself he was hilarious it took him a long time to get to what he was saying but it was just such an incredible because to me that was my first huge I loved Richard Pryor.

He still makes me belly laugh. Belly laugh. Best comedian of all time. For me. Richard Pryor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he's, in my opinion, he was the first one that was so truthful, so honest, so humble, so raw. I mean, he comes out.

What comedians were being so honest about the fight he had with his wife to the point where she said, I'm leaving. I said, not in this car, you ain't. And I started shooting the tires out. Boom. And the tires in the air went, oh, and then the, and then the vodka said, go ahead, shoot something else, rich. And I was going to shoot the engine, the engine. And he was just so funny. I had a heart attack. And I walked out in the yard, and my heart said, don't breathe. I said, what? He said, you heard me. I said, don't breathe it. And he acts out the whole thing of a heart attack.

He was open about his addictions. I remember him the second concert he came out as a kid. He was like, don't think I didn't hear you all jokes. I heard about you when I lit myself on fire. He takes a, he goes like this one. And he takes a match. He goes, what's this? Richard Pryor running down the street.

Real funny. funny so he was he was so it started with um Steve Martin who's let's get small a guy gave me I remember asking my parents too do like can we can we let Jimbo listen to this this this is so it's not allowed to cursing and and I told it sixth grade I was relating to Steve Martin because he was completely silly and goofy and then that led to a watch. I saw Richard Pryor and it was lights out. It was done. We went for Richard Pryor, George Collin.

Then Annie Murphy was the, I'm going to be Eddie Murphy. I'm wearing the leather. We're getting the kangaroo. It is game time when Jim Brewer shows up. What happened to Eddie Murphy? He's like you never see him anymore. He was so big and he's so funny. So funny.

So funny. I don't know. Maybe I don't know. I really don't know. I know. I watched his stardom. He made me laugh so hard. His stand-up was so good and entertaining.

That's hard, though, isn't it? I mean, stand-up. You think it's harder to do stand-up than it is Saturday Night Live grind? No. Really? No. I think the, I think, I think scripted, for me, scripted is a lot harder. I can't memorize anything. And I don't like, if I don't like what I'm, what you're writing for me, it's really hard for me to sell it. Yeah. So, uh, I would agree with that. I, yeah, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like this joke.

Oh, good. It'll do really good. And maybe it will, but I, I'm a visual. If I don't see it. I can't fake it. I can't lie it. I just can't do it. So for me, going up on stage and just being honest and trying to be funny is way more natural because that's who I am at the end of the day. That's the same kid growing up on the street. It's the same kid that was in high school. That's just always been the natural, the natural of me.

I'm sorry to request. I know. What? I may I request? What? The music in the restaurant that your daughter was very upset about after college. Oh, yeah. You're...

Bung dang, bong dung, bing dung, bang dong. Bing dong. What's so crazy is that is what it sounds like. I don't hear that. If I walk into an Italian restaurant and I don't hear, you've already got a strike against you. Right, right. If I don't hear Sinatra or Dean is a man, I'm out.

If I don't, if I go into a Chinese restaurant and I do not hear, bong dang, bing, bong bang, bong, I'm out. You ain't a, Jim Brew's mine, you're not authentic. and you're not putting me in the mood. I don't want to hear jazz playing. I don't want to hear the latest from Jay-Z. I'm out. I want to hear bong, dang, bang,

and I want it with my pork fried rice. Why is that a crime? It's not. I know it's not. Last thing, just how's your wife? She's doing great. So, 2012, she first was diagnosed with cancer. And it was, you don't have long to live.

No, that's the last one. The last one, okay. So 2012 was first round. She got the mastectomy and history, all that stuff. And did a guy who was like, you know, eat this flour and do that and everything would be fine. Came back in 2014, so two years later. And then she did chemo, all that. She hated that because she hates, she tries to eat as clean as possible,

especially after first diagnosed her cancer. Then 2000, this is the miracle part. I think it was 16. Yeah, 16, that's when they're like, it's everywhere. What do you mean it's everywhere? It's everywhere. And it's nothing we could do.

And I remember being in the room and I saw her face. I felt bad for her. Because she did, not that she was facing mortality, she felt it was her fault. She's like, I'm so sorry. I'm like, how would you say that? I'm like, how is this your fault? Is it any fault?

And then I remember, and what we always do, we always find humor. I remember being in the room, and the doctor goes, and she goes, well, like, what are we talking? And she says, ah, this was like maybe February. She said, maybe by the holidays. Unless we can maybe try a trial or something like that, but there's no guarantees, but

And we'll give you drugs to to ease the pain like you'll be okay and I just went Do you have drugs for me to ease the pain? Because this ain't gonna be fun and that doctor looked at me like Hey, how dare you and my wife belly laughed because I knew that was the room breaker we laughed and she's like no no no he's a comedian and she just kept looking at me and she's like no no no seriously that's what he does for living like that that's funny that we like that we laugh yeah it's okay seriously people don't understand the dark you my dad had dark humor yeah it's good for it it's good for you i used to i used to say my mother committed suicide it's acknowledging yes it's acknowledging yes and it's just and it's for some people it work some people

doesn't but do you say you mom my mom committed suicide when I was young and I used to my partner on radio for years and still my best friend he would bring anything up about you know somebody dying and I would immediately say thank you for reminding me my mother's staff wow really dark wow but it it was the way I dealt with it and we still joke about it today he'll still come up to me and he'll be like, I don't want to bring up your mother's death. But you clearly came to, you clearly went through a lot.

You probably went through guilt and all the cycles. And then you came to terms with, there's nothing. What are you going to do? I could have. No. This has nothing to do with me. Correct.

It is what it is. Yeah. And then it's kind of all bets off. Because it is, I guess I learned this from my dad. It's, if there's, life is going to crush you.

Absolutely. It's going to crush you. Yeah. Unless, not hurt you to crush. Crush. Crush. Yeah.

We're talking. rehab for three years learning to talk again working on my asses and my teeth it will crush you it'll make someone someone gets sick and you watch that process for years um but she's she started trial and she's i remember i get these cluster headaches i used to get these cluster headaches and it's all i believe from stress and um The last go was she was doing great. She's doing great. She doesn't make it.

She looks hot. She's hot. How did that was stardom for you? I mean, I had her way before that. Way before that. Did you? And that's a great thing too. I know.

We had nothing. I know. Zero. I married my wife. She thought I was, she thought I was, her parents were like, he is a loser. Oh. And she married me. And she is just not.

thrilled about any of it. She's not impressed. My wife's same thing. I love that. She drives me nuts. She would piss me off all the time. This is the producer of the movie site. I have said to her before.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. We've been invited to the White House. I'm not going to take one of the kids. That's my wife. Oh, I love that. That is exactly my wife. Keeps you grounded.

We're going to meet. The lead singer of Hacy Tacey wants to go to dinner. What is he like? What does he like? I know. St. distract. I'm nice to the singer.

And she's like, you cursed a lot. What? I took my wife to B.B. King? Yeah. B. B. B. King's B. B. B. King. Oh, B. B. King. Oh, okay.

Okay. Yeah. She falls asleep in the concert. I go backstage. Bebey looks at me and he's like, hey, and he looks at her because she's hot. He looks at her and he's like, hey, I'll come over and sit on Baby's lap. I wanted to say she didn't even know who you were really. She fell asleep.

She was sucking air, BB. Oh, my God. Is this over? I'm sorry. Does I miss the whole show? You were there. I was sorry. Was he good, Glenn?

Was he good? Oh, my God. Yeah. But she's good. She's good. We're going on... Gus. Yeah, it's like six, seven years.

Oh, and then I remember the cluster started because everyone was out of the trial except for her. And I... She also has a very strong faith. Very strong faith. She found that years ago, and that saved our marriage. 100% saved her marriage. I've got a lot of stories like that, but that one, that one was a biggie. And I'd say her faith and her trying to be as clean as possible is what keeps her going.

She, our marriage, you know, I'm sure you and your wife. You've had a million times who were like, I think we had a nice run. We're nice run. You don't like me. I like it, but you don't like me. I'm not dumb. I can tell when I come to rub your shoulders. Right.

It's sweaty. Right. If, yeah, if Aquaman did that, you'd submit. But I'm here. Don't touch me. I get it. Right. And we were, it was after the second kid.

And she was having a rough go. I was always a God guy. Not a church guy. Always a God guy. Yeah. Not that I didn't want to get. Yeah. And that's another whole nine hours special.

But she was like, oh, there is no God. There is no this. blah blah blah. Oh, she wasn't. She really wasn't. And I'd be like, oh my God, how do you not know? And I don't know if it was postpartum, whatever it was. I remember I was in this little town we lived in, and I challenged God.

Yeah, I pulled over. I had one of those cries because I thought the world was where your mouse opened for an hour. People going by. You're all right. I'm like, I don't do drugs. I never cheated. Why are you doing this to me? I don't want this to end you.

And I say, I remember, I laugh about it now. I challenge. I'm like, if you don't, I need you to save this marriage. If you exist and I always defend you, I always defend you. Every time my family's like, there is no God. Like, let me tell you a story and you make the decision. By the way, I was an abortion that survived. That's all that a miracle.

Not saying it's God. Just saying, my mom clearly after Martini is like, I wanted to take you out. Everyone said take you out. But I survived. Coincidence? I don't know. And I was like, if you don't show up now,

I swear, I was, I swear to God, I swear to you, I'd going, you don't want me to go the other side. If I'm broken, I'm going to, I'm going, Darth, full-blown Darth Vader. You're not going to like me over there. I'm because I'm going to crush it. I'm going to crush it. I'm going to crush it. And a couple days later, I come back from a weekend and she's in the living room. and are you okay?

She had something weird out. She's just sitting by herself. Something weird happened. What happened? I know something weird. Where are the kids? That's a good question. Because I've seen some bad postpartum stuff.

Bad stuff. Something weird happened. I killed the kids. I drowned the kids because I haven't slept. Wow. Wow. And it's real. I mean, I'm being funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know. It's real. So, like, where's the kids?

They're upstairs. Okay, what's going on? And she proceeds, and she's like, well, I went to a coffee shop in town, and the woman behind the counter. I don't really know her, but she came from behind the counter, and she said, you really need to, you need to, I want to do something for you, come to my house right now. And I didn't, and the way my wife tells it, she's like, Jim, I don't know she's crying I didn't want to I don't I don't know this person but I just I don't know I said so you just get in the car I'm sorry we don't know each other let's take a car right and you're driving and then what and she goes I wanted to keep going straight she made a left and I I hopped and I made a left and I remember going why are you doing this and I went to her house and the house is cute and it's decorated nice and I went inside

And she said, hold on, my husband has to be part of this. And the husband came down. And I went, oh, no. And I went, where is this gone? And she goes. And then they held their hands. And they started praying for me. Praying for my soul and my marriage.

And then I'd find love in my heart. And I wanted to laugh. Because. You knew you just challenged? Well, not only this. That, but that's not the answer I was expecting when this conversation started. And went, they were praying? I didn't, I didn't see this God, but I'm going to continue.

And then that's when she's like, I don't know what's going on. I just want to start learning about God and go to church. Wow. And Jesus. And I went, um, Didn't see that coming? I didn't visualize that. But he was like, you said,

save the marriage. I didn't say it was on your terms. I just gave you that. Let me know how it is. And I tell you what, on my kids' lives, before that happened, she went to this thing called the forum.

It was vitamins. It was vitamins. You know what? Now that I do vitamins, I'm totally better now. And my circulation before that, it was like coffee. I stopped coffee. And now because the coffee, that's what made me angry. And that's what made me.

And then before that, it was always something. And then it would end with the, you know, I don't like you. I'm like, oh, God. The vitamins lasted three weeks. I don't like you. He's bad. What a marry you. And she's getting into, and it was definitely, I was open because she was, she had a different spirit about her,

but I was still, like, how long is this going to go? And she would hit me up with a lot of times that people find their faith, they meet, like, it's like someone learning to swim. Like, have you gone swimming? You can do backstroke. and go in the pool I will go when I want to go in no you need that I just got it and she would hit me all the time with then she started looking at me different like do you realize the power of your voice yeah you know it's she's like no you have a gift when I know that you should

thank Jesus oh okay oh boy And there was a lot of that. And I'd go, hon, please, let me, you, you, what do you say? You're working, work on that progress. And let me do what I got to do. It's just like, but you really should thank Jesus. I'm like, okay. Jeez, I created a Jesus freak.

Hey, hey, let me talk about. I always defend you. It's not an ask for it, but all right. The marriage is better. I'll give me that. So there's two things. Two things I don't want to lose a thought. One is my friend was full blown.

She's in a cult. We had a radio show together. You can't even make this up, right? And he'd go, what's going on with your wife? What's going on with D? Because they know each other, like brother and sister. And I said, she's really learned.

She has his Bible study. He's like, Bible study? Bible study. What is that? He's buddy in the Bible? And when it's not what it is, the women get together and they take a subject, like being a parent, and it's, you know, they quote and they get the guy and they have coffee. It's like, how many times a week they do that? Well, I don't know what. All right, so you're doing church on Sunday.

Then you do it, and you do it, bro, this is a cult. This is a cult. And he had me, like, oh my God, maybe it is. What is going on? Right. And I didn't like the church. I don't like church. It gives me, I can't describe it.

And so the guy, you know, the pastor would be up there, look at me. He's like, you must talk to Jesus. I'm here to watch her, pal. I got my eye at you. I see what you drive. I see what you drive. Yeah. I got it.

You need a new elevator. Got it. Okay. So this is where I'm at. And my friends, like Jim. he's like, do she, she like, she like, I go ahead. Yeah, she starts, she does something before she eats.

He goes, what? What did she do? And he has to have dinner to see it, right? And while, you know, she'll sit there and say, and she won't, it's not like, Jesus, thank you, right before dinner comes, if we're all eating, she'll just do this for a second. And then it's kind of like not, nonchalant, doesn't want to get any business.

So then he's like, dude, I got to come out there. He comes out to the house. I swear my life, my hand of God, this is true. So my wife is in, she's in the kitchen. She's like doing dishes. She's a clean freak. My friend's sitting there. And he's looking at me.

He's like, Brew, man, is cool if I, Dee, can I be honest? Can I ask some questions? Brew, do I give your permission? But at this point, my wife is such a rock. When she found her faith, I was on this way. And I needed that real bad. And that's another amazing thing. So then she gets the light and the stories I have that now she pulled me out of are just,

their grace and they're beautiful. It's amazing. It is amazing. It is amazing. So he goes, can I ask something? did she know that he was oh yeah okay okay okay yeah they're like brother-ist he goes if oh son you have no hate he's swear to god he goes you have no hate in your body no hate

no hate she was no why you know I found Jesus and Jesus teaches me that love and you know everyone who's not perfect I you have to learn to understand where they come from me he's like if Osama bin Laden I swear to God. I swear to God. He goes, If Osama Bingel had it was sitting right here and you're a kitchen,

you would hate him. And she goes, I don't know who he is. And he goes, she's in a goat! And I'm going, you got a gate crack. It is. I'm going outside of a cigarette. He leaves. He's pacing in my lawn.

Shaking. We still laugh about that. So, now I'll tell you this part, too. So in the beginning, probably the first, Jesus is crushing for like a good two months now. It's pretty, because now we have talks. She's like, animals, says in the Bible, blah, blah, blah. And I'd say, yeah, I don't, I don't know about that.

I just, I don't know about that one. You know, but we started talking and then we give theories and it wasn't fights. I'm like, huh, that's, I don't know. I feel more this, this and this. She's like, well, it says this and this. So definitely, it definitely saved our marriage. And but she's still like, you know, you think, Jesus. Well, it was a little after the second month.

I don't know what happened. Something triggered her and she came home and it was right back to before Jesus. showing up. And I went, oh no. Did you have fun while I was away? Because I've got her again. And I don't know what happened. But it was again like, you suck. Whatever it was, it was bad. And she came right at me. I was sitting at the island in the kitchen. And she was like, and inside I started realizing, wow, it's over. This was my last, this was the last hope. And she turned around screaming.

The one kid is upstairs, she shuts the door, she's crying, and she goes in the bedroom, the door, bang. And then she did on the phone. And he sucks. And I was already going, okay, I'll get an apartment in town. And I was already going, okay, I'll get an apartment in town. And I'll be with the kids. Oh, when I get a divorce, it's just she can have everything.

I just want to be there for the kids. And maybe she'll find herself whenever she's all angry about it. And then about, while this is going on my head, She opens the door and went, oh, no, here we go. And I literally was going to go, all right, I'm not just going to sit here and take it. If this is the end, this is full-blown nuclear war. Like, I'm taking, I'm taking your family down. I'm going psychological war.

I've held this back in the whole life. You're going to get it now. And she came up to me and she goes, I am so sorry. I'm going to have moments like I had today. I'm going to have slip-ups. I'm a work in progress. I'm learning about love. I'm learning about the Lord.

You've met so much to me in my whole life. You've always been there. It's not you. I have a lot of anger that I'm trying to figure out. It's not you. You've been so patient, so beautiful. And I'm begging you to just be patient with me. I love you so much.

Oh, I, okay. But I'm waiting for the butt. And there is no but. And she turned away and she started going upstairs and she turned around. She's like, I mean it, Jim. I'm sorry. And just be patient. And not until she went in the room and that's when I said under my breath.

Thank you, Jesus. Hmm. Thank you, Jesus. I thought I'd never say that, but thank you. Jesus. That saved our marriage. Is it easy? No.

Is it have flaws? Of course. Are they perfect? That's the other thing. People think when you find your faith, you are Jesus. You're walking on water. You don't swear. You don't get mad.

You don't do crazy things. You don't drink. You don't get high. you do all the above. There is no humans that are pure. But I have to be honest. For the longest time, I didn't like saying that because then people then will say,

oh, you're religious. Because they did a great job crushing that as well. Any faith, you're that. You're one of that. And so it's absolutely, and here's what's more mind-boggling. and again, I don't know what it is. So when I first moved to my Chester, New Jersey, away from it all, had a kid,

and I didn't realize, I'm very humble. I don't like being like, hey, I'm a star. I do if I can get me reservations to a nice restaurant. Yes, yes. Well, you're the guy on you. Yes, I was. If that gets me a table, what do you want? Is that the error we're talking?

Is that what you want? Table for two, thank you. Start off with a beef feeder gin martini. Triggs are on the house. Thank you. Blue cheese olive. What hell is I talking about? Oh.

So I moved to Chester, New Jersey. And while I'm there, I'm talking a lot. I'm going to wrap it up. You are so good. That's kind of the point of a podcast. Okay, no, I didn't know. But I didn't know if people like, Glenn, he's funny and nice and I tell you.

Your wife has the party. So we sat there. So I go on this camera shop. Young girl behind the counter, big blue eyes, completely gifted. They're on the counter. She's looking at me, blink, blink, blink, bling, bling, blitz. shirts this and she went oh my god i always wanted to be an actress and i heard you moved here and i always do anything and i on my life and i'm always aware of these moments or i think i am

and i went okay if this is your daughter how do you want this man to react and i went so you want to actress. I'm moving to LA. I'll get back here. I'll get a star. Blink, blink, blink. Wiggle, wiggle. And I went, I went, if this kid goes out

there, they'll eat her alive. They're gonna all it take. I, we all go through it. Anyone addicted to vanity being higher on the ladder, it's not just Hollywood, it's every stage. you you they're pimped your who they see their eyes

I'll do hey and then all they do is drop names I remember when I first started the industry matters like you know so Eddie Murphy and I was like Richard Breyer I was just talking to George Colley like oh my God you know it's all these people and I'm next I that's all it takes for

a human being like this to go out there some piece of dirt come along string her along, come, it's over. She'll mean, it's going to be horrible what happens to this person. So I took her, I said, you got lunch? Take a lunch break. We had a lunch break.

And I got extremely raw and truthful with her. Like, extremely. And she went from, to, well, okay. Like, wow, wow. And we had a great conversation. I went, so from now on, if you have questions with anything, you still want to pursue it, fine. but call me and I'll just be blatantly honest with you

you may want to hear one thing but I'll be honest with you she went thank you so much blah blah blah but how was the sex well I don't do that stuff Glenn sorry sorry go ahead

so do you know what happened to her well check this out again of my kids lives true story a couple months later did I like I like community in a coffee shop. I love coffee shops.

I always find a local coffee shop. There was a little place at the time. It was called Casey's coffee shop. Now it's Maria's coffee shop. And I went in there and there's an older woman behind the counter. And she's talking about, I'm going to get an eyelid tuck. And she's beautiful. I said, ma'am, why would you do that?

I said, you're beautiful. I go, God, I hope my wife and I age as well as you and I'm assuming your husband. And she goes, oh, my God, I know who you are. Can I give you a hug? Something. Okay. Still loves the goat or whatever. And she comes from around the counter, and she gives me a really warm hug.

It wasn't a fan hug. It was like a warm hug. And then she took my shoulder. She looked at me. And she went, you're the guy. And I went, yeah, I did. some stuff. I'm not really. She was, no. And she starts tearing up. And she said, you're the one that talked to my daughter. Wow. And I went, what? And she was, you. And she starts breaking

down. She went, I prayed to God that my daughter would, she was, she was in such a dark place. You're the one to her, right? You're the one that I went, who's you? I went, oh my God. Yes. Yes. that's the woman that brought my wife to Christ and saved our marriage. The blink blink or the older woman? God, I'm kidding me. Which I found out, which happened later in time. So you didn't know. No.

She didn't know. No. Oh my gosh. What is that? What is that? And sometimes I wish humanity, however you want to label that, however you want to compartment, make it, well, that's God, that's Jesus, that's this, that's karma, however you want to put it, it's a beautiful thing.

And I just hope that humanity, just like a radio station, would at least go to that frequency and just take a couple steps back and maybe see stuff like that, because that's how I see it. That's a wow moment. And we all can have tons of wow moments if we just stop with the 20, 24-7, blah, blah, blah. I don't think you can beat that story. No, that's why we're going to end it.

Thank you. It's over. We've got a microphone. I want to smash it. This was fun. You're great. So are you. Thanks for having me.

You allowed this. You invited me. So thank you. You're welcome. Anytime. Just a reminder. I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend so it can be discovered by other people.
