Who Is The Real Jersey Outlaw? Will The Real Jimmie Lee Please Stand Up
I first became aware of Jimmy Lee because so many people asked for me to interview him.
I liked him and his comedy but I was hesitant and din't want to do it.
Not because of Jimmie but because I didn't want to leech off of H3.
Listen, when they had me on their show it gave me an incredivle boost. I had new people from the H3 community subscribing to my channel but also supporting me financaillly. They were buying my merch, buying memberships, sharing my content, engaging etc.
So, just having me on their show was more than enough. It gave a dead channel a couple of months to give it a final chance.
So, I didn't want to start leeching off of them and asking them for things or start interviewing their frequent guests.
But whenever I asked my subscribers who they'd like to see, the overwhelming winner was Jimmie.
Plus, he had a story I could relate to. He's an older guy from South Jersey, who was't sdatisfied with his job and decided to branch out and try to make it in showbiz.
Not an easy thing to do and he failed a lot along the way.
But he finally found his niche and his following gas grow rapidly. He just hit 1m followers on Instagram.
So, I watched every interview with Jimmie that I could find and they all interviewed the Jimmy Outlaw and did goofy skits with him.
That was boring to me. He's done it a million times.
What I was interested in, was who is the real guy behind The Jersey Outlaw.
What motivates him? How he deal living in two different worlds? What mental issues has he suffered from? And why is he so obsessed with becoming famous?
So, I wanted to interview James Weiner but also talk to Jimmie Lee a little bit too.
I hope you like this angle and the conversation. I think it showed a side of him he hasn't shaed much.
And we've got new merch! We're got some great new hoodies to keep you cozy and worm this winter.
