Jeremy is somebody I am honored to call a friend and co-worker and I was so excited to have him on the show. He is one of the most unique and funny comedians currently on the rise, and I wanted to make sure everybody who listens to the show got a chance to meet him. 

I talked with Jeremy about growing up in Washington D.C., finding his way to comedy, trying out standup in college, making the move to Los Angeles, his love for LOVE, and so much more. With everything we talked about, we ran out of time to talk about one of Jeremy's hobbies that always just blows my mind, and that his is love for cycling. Now riding a bike isn't what blew my mind, it's the distances that Jeremy usually does for fun, in the realm of 100 miles in a day!!!
