Jeremy "Jay G" Gilroy, is a rapper and owner of the Golden Goose brand and a former member of the soulful R&B group, The Five Boyfriends.

History[edit]

When Mr. Burns and Homer tried to crash a party, they discovered that the host, Jay G, liked Mr. Burns because he was his role model after reading his book, The Rungs of Ruthlessness, which he had found on a bus he hijacked. Jay G thanked Burns for inspiring him to become who he was. Following this, Jay G and Mr. Burns bonded and became friends.

Jay G brought Homer and Burns onto his private plane and gave Burns a special credit card to use. He invited Burns, with Homer tagging along, to purchase numerous expensive items, gradually emptying Burns' bank account.

Burns soon discovered his troubles were worse than expected when his card was declined because he was broke. Jay G's repo men arrived at his mansion to retrieve all his costly belongings. Homer then showed Burns a music video Jay G had made, titled "Monty Burnt". Burns was reduced to tears after realizing he had hit rock bottom.[1]

Golden Goose Repo Co., Jay G's company, continued removing Burns' possessions while Homer stood by his side. Burns and Homer began planning revenge on Jay G with the help of Bart, who suggested they consult Milhouse since he knew a lot about rap history. Milhouse revealed that Jay G used to be part of a rap group called The Five Boyfriends, along with Jazzy James. However, Jay G and Jazzy James had a falling out after Jay G forced James to sign over the rights to all the songs he wrote.

Jazzy James, along with RZA, Snoop Dogg, Common, and Praline, Jay G's ex-wife, collaborated to write a song aimed at "destroying" Jay G. However, when Jay G discovered the song, he paid them all a large sum of money to acquire its only copy. At the concert for the song, Mr. Burns attempted to play it, but holograms of Jay G, Goosius, and everyone who helped create the song appeared on stage to explain that Jay G had bought them all out.

Burns kidnapped Goosius from Jay G's mansion, intending to kill him to hurt Jay G and exact revenge. When Jay G learned of this, he stormed over to Burns' manor to confront him. Mr. Burns revealed that he had killed and cooked Goosius to eat. However, the plan backfired when Homer emerged from the mansion with the real goose chasing him. Mr. Burns attempted to kill Goosius himself, and Jay G tried to stop him, resulting in both of them hanging from a chandelier. During the confrontation, Jay G revealed that he had devised his plan based on the words Burns wrote in his book and his desire to become ruthless like him. The chandelier eventually broke, but they were saved by Smithers and the Canadian bikers who helped him bring the melted ice back to the mansion. Mr. Burns then realized his ruthlessness would endure in others.[2]

Jay G attended the launch event for The Drederick[3] and participated in the trivia team A Triv Called Questions at Moe's Tavern.[4]

Personality[edit]

Jay G is a wealthy individual who enjoys flaunting his riches on extravagant purchases. He owns luxurious vehicles, multiple private planes, limousines, and other high-end cars. He models his personality after Mr. Burns, having learned everything from a book Burns wrote.

However, Jay G has a ruthless side when it comes to money. He ensured his former friend Jazzy James signed away any rights to the songs he wrote for their rap group. He also demonstrates ruthlessness toward Mr. Burns, befriending him before ultimately betraying him, following advice from Burns' own book.

Jay G has a soft spot for Goosius, his "golden goose" and the mascot of his company. When Goosius is kidnapped, Jay G immediately goes to Burns' manor and is horrified to discover that Goosius has been killed and cooked. He is then relieved to find Goosius alive and becomes furious with Burns when Burns attempts to kill Goosius himself.
