The stars have apparently aligned in the shape of a McRib because FINALLY my best friend Jake Neal is appearing on the show!
It's been a long time coming but you have to understand: while this man is incredibly talented, he is best appreciated spontaneously. His off the cuff humor and quick wit need to be observed in the wild to truly be at their best, and while we used to perform together as rappers, a true "show" from Jake has become a one-on-one affair, with him freestyling in your ear as the bar closes but your mind expands. We're talking about a man who might be one of the funniest people you'll ever meet, as well as one of the best improvisational MCs ... but whose kryptonite is the red "recording" light.
If you know me well then you certainly must know him, mostly from our rap groups Living Dead and Diamond Studs. But also as "men about town" or "party animals" or "Wolverine and the big Russian". We've done a lot of bad shit we couldn't talk about on this podcast but we've also done a lot of good things! Like ... um ... there was that one time .... well, anyway. The best thing Jake ever did was leave the stage to pursue a proper career as an electrician, a decision I am constantly envious of because he is now a professional businessman and I am a washed-up rapper. His oldest friends might still call him Flex, his fans call him Jake Dead, but many of you know him as Electric Jake, a name that, while job-related, certainly fits his electrifying personality.
I could go on and on but that's what the podcast is for. For this episode I bit a concept off Hot Ones and forced us to eat a boxed set of Anton Berg liqueur bottles throughout the course of the show. I can't say it had the same effect as spicy wings but it did lead to some interesting mouth noises. TRIGGER WARNING: MOUTH NOISES. This ain't yo mamma's ASMR! PS I am obsessed with ASMR at the moment and listen to it every night as I pray for sleep.
Check out "Meeting Comics" from Andrew Neal aka Andy Neal (Jake's brother) at his website.
