Jeffrey Keller | Getting High With The Gummy Guy! Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

#951. The second Kaitlyn discovered Jeffrey Keller on Instagram, she had one thought:

"I need to get high with him."

If you don't know Jeffrey, he's the comedian who accidentally became the internet's favorite gummy guy. One edible, one cooking video, and suddenly he's selling out comedy shows across the country.

The original plan was to talk about his rise from musical theatre kid to stand-up comedian—and to be fair, they did. But somewhere along the way, Jeffrey pulled out his vape, Kaitlyn decided that sounded like a good idea, and the interview took a turn.

What followed was a wildly unhinged conversation filled with Broadway stories, comedy, spray tans, New York rats, exes' initials tattooed on ankles, why Jeffrey's dad still isn't impressed by 47 tour dates, and the anxiety of pressing "post" on the internet.

Also, Kaitlyn may or may not have gotten a little high with the gummy guy.

One thing's for sure: by the end of this episode, both of their stomachs hurt from laughing. Enjoy!
