He is very high energy.

He has an incredible talent for telling stories.

He has captivated audiences, impressed fellow comedians, earning him a spot on the Comedy Central's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.

This guy is rich, just rich.

His output is prolific.

He's released five comedy albums in the last three years alone, including literally one just last week.

But he is more than all of those things.

He is a much deeper person

than you could possibly imagine watching him on stage.

Behind all of his characters, and

he's

Jonathan Winters or

a

Robin Williams in many ways.

Behind all of that, he is devoted to spiritual truths.

He proudly calls himself a modern-day prophet warrior.

He doesn't really have a party or play politics.

It's that the things he talks about now are political, and you'll understand that in

the the podcast.

He sees politics as an obstacle, an effort to rob us of our faith.

Multi-dimensional, full of wild stories, laughter, and wisdom, but also heartbreak, even as his wife of 29 years battles terminal cancer.

He knows that he will never be mad at God.

This man knows how to turn a stumbling block into a cornerstone, and somehow he still finds the strength to bring the house down with roaring laughs.

This is a very,

very entertaining podcast.

Please listen all the way to the end.

An amazing ending.

Please welcome Jim Brewer.

Let me tell you about a great steak, something that everybody in my family, except for the vegans, absolutely love.

If you want a great steak and you want one that is actually helping build America, go to Good Ranchers.

What a pleasure.

You are

hysterical.

But I yeah, I want to 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 long time, not until,

I don't know, it seems, 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.

So, you know, grandma, bring someone down.

She's barking and she's talking about whatever.

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 him 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 really important?

Am I going to.

I remember when I begged God my whole life, please,

I don't care how much money I 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.

Yeah.

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 taken care of as a child, as you grow 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 start heading towards their end.

They take care of you.

That's the circle.

But

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 then you just got younger and younger, so your kids had this cute little baby that just disappeared one day.

Yes, I mean, but technically, technically, it is kind of saying because you're still dropping deuces in your pants,

except for they're a lot

bigger when they're 80, 90 years old.

You've talked about this

with your dad, yes, and that was a big

that was a big breakthrough.

Um,

You know.

Tell the story about taking your dad on tour.

Yeah.

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 life,

gave him so much life, so much to live for at that time.

He's hanging out with the guys, he couldn't really get around.

But then

I also, you got to humble yourself when they do have an accident, which wasn't.

We're not, they teach you all they want about ponce de Leon in third grade.

And if you're not paying attention, 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 take care of one another?

I'm like, 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

dropped,

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 was my, it was, it would be an honor to let him know as much as possible.

Hey, hey, hey, don't, let's

let's have fun with it's it is what it is.

Let's, what are we going to do?

What are we going to do?

Let's just uh, 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 um,

my mom

gave his car away and that happens with a lot of uh elderly people that was the end of my grandfather too yes

so

i would he he would go um you know if you

need the car

i'm not gonna use it I know you're not going to use it because you can't even walk, but that was

there.

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 to the store on 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

have to take care of you.

And they're like,

hi, dad.

You know, I got

one second.

Don't my dad.

Yeah,

it's getting old.

Interfering with my life.

God,

I hate making seven figures.

So

I think it all just, you figure it out, but you really have to

deprogram yourself.

This is, they do a good job programming you for a long time.

Back with more with the incredible Jim 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 just can't do it anymore?

Have you tried everything?

Have you gotten to the point to where you've kind of just said, 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

Relief Factor go on to order more month after month.

1995.

It's a quick start trial pack.

Try it for three weeks.

Doesn't work, stop taking it.

But if it does, you'll get your life back.

ReliefFactor.com.

So what was your childhood like?

Because you've

talked 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

while 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

a word?

Yeah, didn't say a word.

No.

But he was over there.

Never said a word.

But he's always.

The only time he'd 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 on with you?

nothing

and that's all you do hmm

and that was enough for me like

right

me

um

but he

and I saw him that's another thing in my 20s which also

helped think about him more

because I would I would try to learn his history And I would try to learn

why he was the way he was.

Because he was, he was

everyone loved him because he was belly laughing funny belly laughing funny is that where you get it no

i didn't know i didn't really understand his humor until after we were he didn't he didn't show his humor until we had a drink together and i turned 21.

matter of fact this is what happened i turned 21 and he goes

you're a man now so uh yeah let's you want to have a beer

i said sure you know, I'll have a beer.

And I went with 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, the 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'll be right back.

I'm just going to go outside for a second.

I got to, I got to talk to someone.

I went out.

I think I caught a buzz.

And then I'm catching a buzz, forgetting 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,

yeah, he's having a heart attack.

So I'd go running over there, and they're howling with laughter.

Howling.

And I, I literally, you'd never seen your father funny.

I've heard it.

Like we'd, we would, I'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,

Jim.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Jim.

Jim.

Oh my God.

And I hear 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.

Your father's the funniest human being I ever met in my life.

I went, my dad is?

Wow.

My dad.

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 five foot nine.

He's holding court in 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 gotta listen to him.

And I went, that's my dad.

And I swear to God, he goes, can I hire him for a party?

I want to hang out with him.

And then I watched him hold court for hours with these college kids.

Some of the things like...

Like, what was he?

I can't repeat a lot of it, but he was one afternoon.

After the yather, after the yather.

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 go by and look at the kids.

You think you can handle that?

You think you can handle that?

And

I want to put you right back where you're done, man.

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, he was a lot older.

He had me when he was going on 45.

So

that was another thing.

Like, I knew we couldn't do sports or whatever, but we'd do fun stuff in the pool or we'd always compete with little things, bocce 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 lost art that has happened in this country.

It's mind-boggling.

It's just mind-boggling.

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 going to tell her, don't tell me, mom.

I got to tell your mom, Jim.

Yeah, I hear that all the time.

Aren't you the Beck kid?

Yeah.

No?

I know your parents.

You'd be like, oh, right.

Yeah.

Right, right, right.

So it was a great childhood.

And

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?

Tires matter.

They're the only part of your vehicle that touches the road.

Tread confidently with new tires from Tire Rack.

TireRack.com, the way tire buying should be.

I think

that

I think that's in everyone, unless it's beaten out of of you.

So, and what I mean by that is

it's, I don't, it's not one particular person.

It's, it's watching it.

It's learning it.

It's, 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 didn't know you can do that.

They have to go away.

And, um,

and growing up, I mean, you learn in school, the kids that are picked on.

I, I,

you know, I'd get in a couple scraps.

I'd, you, you, 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

then the most vicious kids in school who couldn't stand, then you find out, oh, well, their father beats them or their grandfather,

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,

have taken over

everywhere that you're that you got your mind and eyes locked into from the time you grew up.

It's

movies, television, news networks, all of it.

And 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 die, you're watching late night television

and

they've lost their soul, their minds, everything.

If you're not vaccinated, you shouldn't be treated.

What are you, have you lost your mind?

Yes, 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 we celebrate it.

Vanity, 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, 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, it's good.

No, it's good.

Where are we?

I think we're starting over there.

I've been saying for a while that

it's not that we aren't a 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, well, I'm saying that too, but if you turn on television, I noticed this when I was a kid.

I'd watch 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,

bad weather, and your team lost.

See you tomorrow

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?

Says who?

It's never been tried.

If you came out with 5, 10, 15 channels every day of your life, you are not going to believe what happened today.

Carol broke her hip and she almost died.

And then her neighbors came 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

It's kind of like, I mean, as simple as

what is that?

That show used to be on, you know, move that bus.

And the whole community got together to take some family and they trans, you know, just transformed their house.

Yes.

It was always such a good storytelling.

Good feeling.

Yes.

That was number one.

Yes.

That was number one.

Right.

Thank you for this house.

You had nothing.

My God, I got a couch.

I got a couch.

Yes, there's a lot of goodness, but

in my opinion, the devil's got to kill 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 v.

Wade.

The blue states, and California, I just talked about it this week.

Proposition one 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 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 is 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 Pre-Born.

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 asked them

what part is political first i'm talking about you trying to stick a needle in me is that political or did you get conned and brainwashed to think it's political medicine when is medicine political

that that alone i love when people go what are you what are you some type of conspiracy theorist?

I'm a conspiracy theorist because I'm questioning, right, 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 limit, I got less.

Oh, give it to me.

what is going on

um and how is that political

but that is what another thing that's genius that i see is happen here is everything is um categorized you're liberal you're you're conservative you're democrat you're republican you're this you're that um and i beg people

to

don't label yourself.

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, not only 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.

I said, well, what if that Democrat...

No, 1960s, joined the union?

I'm not union, but 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, I've love for everyone.

How many shirts are we saying?

How many on a team?

We did 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, diehard 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 of 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 couple 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

that 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, that's the moral code.

You don't hate a woman, what'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, I know.

It sells no matter what.

It sells no matter what.

And it just baffles my mind

that the haters are still.

And I tell people, listen,

you know the phrase love is blind?

Hate is

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.

And, 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 in 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, we'll 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 our sadistic ways for centuries?

And that, quite frankly, they never did free themselves.

How they love to pretend they're voting.

Yes, sire, yes, sire.

Do you think they'll ever snap out of it?

Not as long as we have television.

Send the thunder.

A new variant.

Back in the basement.

What I was going to say was

there's not enough time anymore.

There 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.

I'm not worried about what people think.

Why?

Because they're still, hey, they're still like,

they're stuck.

We ain't got time for stuck.

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 new situation.

Everything's based out of 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.

Or whatever.

Well, there is a lot of that.

Yeah, we feel like, I mean, we are the craziest self-hating egomaniacs.

But

we've been conditioned for that.

Yes.

We're in a system.

We're in a matrix, whatever you want to call this.

I always,

I love natural humanity.

I love watching tribes.

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 who are like, well, I got to go to school and then 20 years from now take my money and I'm going to invest that money.

And I'm like, dang, I 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 asking because they were all gathering under trees.

You were like, in Sydney, and there'll be a tree.

And

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.

And 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, these poor African.

They're not,

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 keep going.

and then their

huts.

I had awesome pictures.

It's literally, it's literally like when we were kids, like, you want to make a fort?

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, bought them.

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, 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 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 and they start shedding all the stuff that they thought was so valuable.

I think COVID is a necessity 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, 100%.

Horrible, horrible stuff happened.

Sure.

But it was a blessing.

100%.

You know,

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 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.

Well, what are you going to do?

What are you doing?

You're just complaining?

But yes, I agree with you.

COVID,

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 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 6.

If you want socks that will keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter, socks 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 Six.

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 gripsics.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, the world's, this is bullcrap.

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 yeah 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 to admit,

I struggle all the time, non-stop, 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 inst, my

comedy comes to me when I'm pissed.

Me too.

And I'm over the top.

Like, so, okay.

So while you're saying it, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

So I get that.

Oh, yeah, of course, because you're educated, so you're better.

Continue.

Right, right.

You know, so so

that lacks a certain bit of Christ-like humility.

Yes.

So I have, I, I, 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 choir will obviously laugh, but the

one on the other 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 and 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

like, yeah, well, you got to make it look crazy.

That Broadway show is one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen.

I mean,

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.

I was performing at the Stress Factory in New Jersey.

I was living in New Jersey 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 Vinny, he calls me up.

He's like, Jay,

I got,

because everyone's also trying to figure out how to beat the system.

Oh,

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 in a while, 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, like, is everything 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 CDT says.

And we should all listen to everything they say.

Dr.

Fauci.

Yeah.

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, it's just what's the difference.

You put on a little, you know, the little

happy dress and like, if you see anyone

outside, they're 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.

That was the most disgusting display of humanity.

And these are the people that are controlling 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 no one was talking about it everyone was still like I didn't

I felt we're at war 100%.

This is war, however you want to describe it.

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 that evil exists.

And boy, does it exist.

It does.

And you'll 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.

So that's where the comedy came from.

In a tent, all that was going on in my head.

I was like, I'm going to shout.

I'm going to, we need to wake people up.

Let me tell you something.

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

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 in my neck.

It's just my

life.

And just as a song would peek, like,

and so I would give speeches in my head like how to wake up humanity.

And the

best thing in the world was hearing

so many 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

realized, 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's saying it.

And that's why I named it that.

Every show, somebody has to say this.

Thank God you're saying this.

Somebody ought 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 ought to say it.

I took

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

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 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 I'm no longer for the Convention of States because this is a sacred document and I don't think we are anywhere near

where we should be 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 category.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

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 constitution.

I'm a constitutionalist.

I am too, 100%.

Yeah, 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 investment

on either side,

shouldn't

you?

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

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,

say, well, 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 can play all the games they want.

There was a shooting and I just got to take home.

You can't say that.

They're going like this.

Sup, 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 everyone was animated.

When I was a kid, I was animated.

I was on the 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 Williams.

Oh.

Oh.

But he was my all-time favorite.

Brilliant.

They could

both brilliant.

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 um I was in Montreal I was on the uh 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.

Oh, we got Jim Brewer, but I'm gonna have 40,000 from NBC, 150,000 from Disney,

CBS, what's up for $200,000, and a two-year guarantee.

Oh, Disney just stepped up, you know.

So, you, and it was great at the time.

You wanted to be part of it, and I was all

like

a star.

I'm gonna jet and leather pants.

I'm getting

monkeys and a kangaroo.

I'm gonna be so surprised.

Are monkeys and a kangaroo part of it?

I wanted a kangaroo so bad.

I wanted to walk in the mall with it.

People would be like, Guy's really successful.

Guy's huge.

Oh, Jim Brewer?

Yeah, he lives in town.

Guys, a gazillionaire.

He comes here, his helicopter.

He goes in the mall.

Everyone, no, you'll see it.

You'll see the kangaroo.

So I go,

I'm walking by

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.

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.

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, but I'm pretty sure it was like David Brenner.

And we were waiting.

I'm like, oh my gosh, Jonathan Winners.

I want to wait till he comes out.

And he came out.

And I went, Mr.

Winners,

I just want to say I'm a big fan.

I'm a comedian.

He goes, wave him, kid.

And I went, New York, New York, right on the subways.

You can't do that.

Step backwards.

Excuse me, I'm going to my computer carts around it.

Make sure you change that to make a whole.

And he went on for what seemed 15, 20 minutes.

A little crowd started gathering.

And then he's like, all right, what's your name?

Jim.

Good to meet you, Jim.

Keep it up.

And he just left.

I'm like, I had a Jonathan Winners moment.

It was awesome.

I had a Richard Pryor moment and I had a Jonathan Winners 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, eh, maybe he'll show up.

And this is stupid.

He ain't going to show.

Why would he show up?

That's stupid.

He's sick.

And then last night there, I'm sitting in the back.

There's maybe 12 people in there.

And as I'm about to leave, the MC 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

influence.

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's like, 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 and the air went, oh, and then the, and then

the vodka said, go ahead, shoot something else, Rich.

And then I was going to shoot the engine and

I said,

he was just so funny.

I had a heart attack.

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.

He acts out the whole thing of a heart attack.

He was,

he was open about his addictions.

I remember him the second concert he came out as a kid.

He's like, Don't think I didn't hear your old jokes.

I heard about you when I lit myself on fire.

He takes it, he goes, like this one, and he takes a match.

He goes, What's this?

Richard Pry running down the street.

Real funny.

Real funny.

So he was, uh, he was, so it started with

Steve Martin.

It was Let's Get Small.

Uh, a guy gave me,

I remember asking my parents, dude, they're like, can we,

can we let Jimbo listen to this this this

is so it it's not a lot of cursing and it and i i told sixth grade i was relating to steve martin because he was completely silly and goofy um and then that led to a watch i saw richard pryer and it was lights out it was it was done we went for richard pryor george carlin then any 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 scripted, for me, scripted is a lot harder.

I can't memorize anything.

And

if I don't like

what you're writing for me, it's really hard for me to sell it.

Yeah.

So

I would agree with that.

Yeah, I don't like.

I don't like this joke.

It'll do really good.

And maybe it will, but 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.

That's the same kid that was in high school.

That's just always been the natural,

the natural me.

I'm sorry to request.

No, no, no, no, no, request

the

music in the restaurant that your daughter was very upset about after college.

Oh, yeah.

Bong dang, bung dung, bang, dung, dung.

Bang, dung, bung, dang, bang, dung.

What's so crazy is that is what it sounds

like.

If I don't hear that, if I walk into an Italian restaurant and I don't hear,

you've already got a strike against me.

If I don't hear Sinatra or Dean,

I'm out.

If I go into a Chinese restaurant and I do not hear

bong bang bing,

bong bang bong,

I'm out.

You ain't on

Jim Brewer's mind.

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 bang 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 and it was you don't have long to live no that's the the last one the last one okay so 2012 was

first round

she got thamastectamine

hystere all that stuff and

did a guy who was like, you know,

eat this flower 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 with cancer.

Then

2000, this is the

miracle part.

I think it was 16.

Yeah, 16.

That's when

they were like, ah,

it's everywhere.

What do you mean it's everywhere?

It's everywhere.

And there's nothing we can do.

And I remember being in the room

and

I saw her face.

I felt bad for her because she did, not that not that she was facing mortality.

She felt it was her fault.

She's like, I'm so sorry.

I'm like, why would you say that?

I'm like, how is this your fault?

Saying 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 goes, ah, this was like maybe February.

She said, maybe by the holidays.

Unless we maybe try a trial or something like that.

But there's no guarantees.

And we'll give you drugs 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 going to be fun.

And that doctor looked at me like,

hey, bad.

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 a living.

Like that.

That's funny that we like that.

We laugh.

It's okay.

Seriously.

People don't understand the dark humor.

My dad had dark humor.

Yeah.

It's good for you.

It is good for you.

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 works.

Some people doesn't.

But.

Do you say your 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 of my mother's death.

Wow.

Really dark.

Wow.

But 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 it, there's

if there's the 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 axes and my teeth.

It will crush you.

It'll make someone,

someone gets sick, and you watch that process for years.

But

she started a 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

the last go was she was doing great.

She's still doing great.

She doesn't make it.

She looks hot.

She's 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.

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 the 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,

I've said, honey,

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 AC Tacy.

Wants to go to dinner.

What is he like?

What is he like?

Sounds true.

I'm a nice little singer.

And she's like,

he cursed a lot.

What?

I took my wife to BB King.

Yeah.

BB King.

BB King's BB King.

Oh, BB King.

Seeing BB King.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

She falls asleep in the concert.

I go backstage.

BB 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, come over and sit on BB'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.

Did I miss the whole show?

You were there.

I'm sorry.

Was he good, Glenn?

Was he good?

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

But she's good.

She's good.

We're going on

guests.

Yeah, it's got like six, seven years.

So, 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 was a biggie.

And I'd say her faith and her trying to be as clean as possible is what keeps her going.

She,

I, our marriage, you know, I'm sure you and your wife,

you've had a million times you're like,

we had a nice run.

We had a 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 and

sweaty.

Right.

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.

Also a God guy.

Yeah, not a church guy.

Not that I didn't want to get.

Yeah.

That's another whole nine-hour special.

But

she was like, oh, there is no God.

There is no this and 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's where your mouth's open for an hour.

People going by, you're right.

And I'm like, I don't do drugs.

I've never cheated.

Why are you doing this to me?

I don't want this to end.

And I said, 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.

I told that a miracle.

Not saying it's God, just saying my mom clearly at the 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 like, 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 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

the weekend, and she's in the living room.

And

are you okay?

She had something weird happened.

She's just sitting by herself.

Something weird happened.

What happened?

I have something weird.

Where are the kids?

That's a good question.

That's a good question.

Because I've seen some bad postpartum stuff.

Bad stuff.

I killed the kids.

I drowned the girls 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 go 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 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,

she's crying.

I don't want to go.

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 ride.

And you're driving and then what?

And she goes, I wanted to keep going straight.

She made a left and I

stopped 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 her husband came down and I went oh no

and

I went where is this going and she goes and then they 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

and I wanted to laugh

because you knew you just challenged.

Well,

not only that, but that's not the answer I was expecting when this conversation started.

And went,

they were praying?

I did not see this coming, but I'm like, 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 and

Jesus.

And

I went,

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 of 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.

Like you

want to marry you.

And she's getting into, and it was, 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 gonna go?

And she would, she would hit me up with a lot of times that people find their faith, they meet like they, 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 got it.

And she would hit me all the time with.

Then she started looking at me differently.

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.

Okay.

Oh boy.

And there was a lot of that.

And I'd go, hun,

please, let me, you, you, what do you say?

You're working, working, work on that progress and let me do what I gotta do.

And she's tonight, she's like, but you really should thank Jesus.

Okay.

Geez, I created a Jesus for you.

I'm not even like, hey, let me tell you.

I always always defend you.

Snow to ask for it, but all right.

The marriage is better.

I'll give you 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, Jim,

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, you know, she's really learning.

She has this Bible Bible study.

It's like, Bible study,

Bible study.

What is that?

He's buddy 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 together and they have coffee.

It's like, how many times a week do 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, bro.

This is a cult.

This is a cult.

And he had me

like,

oh my God, maybe not.

What's going on?

And I didn't like the church.

I don't like church.

This gives me a way.

I can't describe it.

And so the guy, you know, the pastor would be up there, he'd look at me.

He's like, you must talk to Jesus.

I'm like, oh,

I'm here to watch her pal.

I've got my eye on you.

I see what you drive.

I see what you drive.

I got it.

You need a new elevator.

Got it.

Okay.

So so this is where i'm at and my friend's like jim uh

he's like does she she like pray going yeah she starts she does something before she eats

what

what

what does 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 kind of like not nonchalant, doesn't want to get any business.

So now he's like, dude,

I got to come out there.

So

he comes out to the house.

I swear my life,

my hand to 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.

He's looking at me.

He's like, Brew, man.

It's Kufa

D, can I be honest with you?

Can I ask some questions?

Brew, do I have your permission?

And I know by 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 good.

It's amazing.

So he goes, can I ask something?

Come into your local store

Did she know that he was.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, they're like,

he goes,

Ephosamad.

You have no hate?

I swear to God.

He goes, you have no hate in your body?

No hate.

She goes, no.

Why, you know, I found Jesus and Jesus teached me that love.

And, you know, everyone who's not perfect, you have to learn to understand where they come from.

And he's like, Ephosamu bin Laden.

I swear to God.

bin Laden

was sitting right here in your kid,

you would have hated.

And she goes, I don't know who he is.

And he goes, she's in a goat.

Brewman, she's in a goat.

And I went, you got a gay practice.

Again, I'm going outside of a cigarette.

And he leaves.

He's pacing my lawn, shaking.

We're still laughing about that.

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 many, because now we have talks.

She's like, animals says in the Bible, blah, blah, blah.

And I'd say,

yeah,

I don't know about that.

I just, I don't know about that one.

But we started talking and then we get fears.

And it wasn't fights.

I'm like, huh, that's, I don't know.

I don't know.

I feel more this, this, and this.

She's like, well, it says this and blah.

So definitely,

it definitely saved our marriage.

And, uh, 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 showed up

and i went oh no

to your phone while i was away

because no 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 in and 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.

Come on, get down.

He sucks.

And

I was already going,

okay.

I'll get an apartment in town.

And

I'll be with the kids.

I'm not going to get a divorce.

She can have everything.

I just want to be there for the kids.

And maybe she'll find herself.

Whatever she's so angry about.

And then, about fifth, while this is going on my head, she opens the door.

I 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 we're, if this is the end, this is full-blown nuclear war.

Like, I'm taking, I'm taking, I'm taking your family down, I'm going psychological war.

You, I've held this back my whole life.

You're gonna get it now.

And she came up to me and she goes,

I am so sorry.

Um,

I'm gonna 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 meant so much to me 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.

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.

Thank you, Jesus.

I thought I'd never say that, but thank you,

Jesus.

That saved our marriage.

Is it easy?

No.

Does 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 my reservations to a nice restaurant.

Yes, yes.

Were you the guy at the time?

Yes, I was.

That gets me a table.

What do you want?

Is that Eric we're talking about?

Is that what you want?

Table for two.

Thank you.

Start off with a beef eater gin martini.

Drinks around the house.

Thank you.

Blue cheese olive.

What the 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 But I am talking a lot.

That's kind of the point of a podcast.

Okay, no, I didn't know that.

I didn't know if people like,

Glenn,

funny,

he's funny and nice and there, too.

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, blink.

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,

all 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 be an actress?

I'm moving to L.A.

and I'm going to go back here.

I'm going to be a star.

Blink, blink, wiggle, wiggle.

And I went,

I went, if this kid goes out there, they'll eat her alive.

They're going to, all it take, we all go it.

Anyone addicted to vanity, being higher on the ladder, it's not just Hollywood, it's every stage.

You, you, they're pimp, you're who they see the eyes.

I'll do anything, and then all they do is drop names.

I remember when I first started the industry, managers, like, you know, so Erdie Murphy, and I was like, Richard Breyer, you know, I was just talking to George Colley, like, oh my god, he knows 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's gonna be,

it's gonna be horrible what happens to this person.

So I took her to, 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, oh, okay.

Like, oh, 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, I'm a kids' lives.

True story.

A couple months later,

I like community in a coffee shop.

I love coffee shops.

I always find a local coffee shop.

It 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 talk.

and 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?

So I'm thinking,

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

you're the guy I went yeah I

did some stuff I just I'm not really she goes no

and she starts tearing up and she said

you're the one that talked to my daughter wow I went what

And she goes, you.

And she starts breaking down.

She went, I prayed to God that my daughter would.

She was in such a dark place.

You're the one to talk 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?

The older woman.

Gotta be kidding me.

Which I found out, which happened later in time.

So you didn't know.

She didn't know.

No.

Oh, my God.

What is that?

What is that?

Wow.

And sometimes I wish humanity, whether, 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 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 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.
