Welcome to the Past Times podcast. Each week we go through an old newspaper from a random date in history picked out by Dave Anthony.

I'm Gareth Reynolds and I've never seen it before and neither is our guest this week. The great Brad Williams. Brad, welcome back. Thank you for having me back on the podcast. Once again, this is a podcast that my wife listens to religiously, so she'll finally hear this. She'll finally know that I am a comedian. It's good for her to know that. Yeah, if not for my appearances on this podcast,

she would have no idea what I do for a living. You're just a car payment maker and a jaunty chapeau. That's it. Occasionally I watch the kid. That's, then I leave for four days on the weekends. He doesn't know what I'm doing or where I am. I'm on this podcast and she's like, oh, I married a comedian.

That's cool. Well, listen, what a great segue into the fact that you're gonna be, you just announced your 2025 dates Yeah, and people can go to Brad Williams comedy dot com for that information Yeah, doing a bunch of theaters doing a bunch of a few states. I haven't done before I'm going to what are those? Great state. Yeah, call me one of the people that watched Yellowstone and then called my agent and was like, send me there. Our agent.

All right, we all share the great Mark Walton. Yes. And it seems like you really started doing better after your last appearance on this show. Is that? You could definitely coincide those things. I think. That's really. I'm thinking the Charlie Day meme where he's got all the stuff pointed on the wall.

He's trying to make connections. I think you could say Brad Williams appears on pastimes sells tickets. And I think I can't wait to see what happens. It's us more than tick tock. Yeah. No, get ready. You're going to be back to clubs. Brad.

Brad. You're going back to clubs. Brad, I was in Irvine for my kid's baseball tournament and I was like, let's go get something to eat. And I went to the mall and umi burger. Is that what it's called? Umi burger. Umami. Umami burger. And I remember the one, one that originally started and it was fantastic. So I was like, oh, let's go there. And so I took my kid, it was just me and him sitting in there. And there was a big line of people waiting for a comic to come out. And then you come running out and you're running because you're trying to get

because the show's been over for a while. You're trying to get to the line. And I'm looking at you and I'm like, oh, and I look and I'm staring. And my my kid is like, don't stare at the little person. I'm just like, no, I know him. He's like, you don't know him. They're not all the same. I'm like, I know that guy's like, no, you don't.

It's too embarrassing. You don't know him. You're trying to get material. He's just a guy trying to make a living. It's not Dinklage, dad. It's not Dinklage. He probably came and saw his favorite comedian. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, what's funny is Brad sells out all those shows and I don't know if you've done standup at one of those improvs when it's half sold. Oh yeah, it's not great when it's. That room, that room I've been in more often unsold than sold, but that is the room that I had 27 people thrown out during a show. Wow. Wow. 27.

It was a late show on like a Friday. They were so fucking hammered. I was just like, out, out. Was it all the same table or were you just handing out exits like Oprah? Like you get thrown out. It was like five or six tables. I was just like, okay, you and now you and they were just, they were all so shitfaced and so fucking annoying. Real life blocking the Dave Anthony dream. All right, Brad.

So listen, you know what we do here, but just to refresh, remember, we're going to go through this weird new space. So we're going to start with a guess of what the year is. You're going to guess first. Whoever's closest wins. What's going to happen is you'll guess. One of us will be closer.

No matter what happens, Dave will say that you win. And you know, that's how it goes. Well, I'll go for a year. All right. So I was, I was just at the comedy store where I was talking with, uh, Earl Skakel, who is, uh, who is a Kennedy. He's, he's, he's related. He's related to the whole Kennedy. Uh, I dare, dare I say the name clan, but yeah, the whole Kennedy thing. Yeah, clan's right.

Uh, yeah. So that goes, you know, uh, now that, now that I was talking to Earl, we were talking about his uncle, Robert. Yeah, Bobby. Who is really, oh, Bobbo. Yeah. The old head collector. Yeah. What he's got in store for the country.

I saw a tweet today. I don't know if it's real. I don't know if it's fake. And I think that could summarize all the things that we talked about. Yeah. So, yeah, Bobby, you're a great guy. You're a great guy. You're a great guy. You're a great guy. You're a great guy. in store for the country. I saw a tweet today

I don't know if it's real. I don't know if it's fake and I think that could summarize all the tweets nowadays but But so I saw a tweet that said Robert Kennedy plans to ban on crustables and I was like He better pick his battles a little more careful you can give her the polio vaccine But you do not touch pizzas on a bagel motherfucker fine Totally fine you get your battles asshole. Yeah, I mean if he gets rid of uncrustables, that's gonna be my January 6th It's gonna be bad. I'm gonna you think what we did to his dad and uncle's bed get on crustables out of the store You'll watch a head pop.

See. So that being said, I was thinking about that whole family. So let's go with 1963. Oh, by the way, Earl. Happened that year, this is Kennedy. One of the one of the first times I met Earl, he showed me a picture in the mirror and he goes hey do you like my abs? And he's fully naked. Yeah I've seen that photo so apparently that's his move. Yes I was gonna say it's not even a small club you're in if he's pulled that on you but

I mean I remember being like Jesus Christ because he is a huge penis. That's a Kennedy thing That is a Kennedy thing. It's a Kennedy thing. That's why we got it. Marilyn was very happy Yeah, yeah, absolutely till they go Okay, so 60 I'll I'm gonna go I like the 1900 so let's stick there, but I'll go 1922. Hmm. Okay. Any particular reason for 1922?

Just because that's when Earl showed me his penis that looked like it was between 19 to 22 inches. Oh, okay. I was like, well, you're a fan of Harding. I don't even know if he was the president, but I was throwing out an old president name. Believe me, you can- No one would know the years.

Earl showed me his Harding penis. Oh. It's 1898. Okay. Alright. So Brad wins. Okay. Yeah, I win. See, I'm gonna tell ya. Yeah, obviously.

Doesn't make any sense. I win. That is a dog in the background protesting. The dogs are excited about. Whose? Dave's dogs? Yeah, those are my dogs. I went that that is a dog in the background the dogs are excited whose Your Dave's dog. Yeah, those are my dogs. There's a delivery person here and the dogs want to kill him or her And I if you guys if I wasn't Doing a podcast right now. I'd let let the dogs out and let the dogs kill the delivery person

That that that is kind of weird when you think about it from their perspective. They're just kind of lounging around having a good time and all of a sudden they hear a bell. They're like, death. And they just go instant. Like whoever is coming in my domain, death. Well, it's even three too. So it's just like one of them is like, Jesus Christ.

And the rest are like, freak out. What's funny is there's one that if they do that, the other two freak out. There's another one that does it, then one of the one will freak out. And then the newest one, if that dog is like, and runs, then the other two are like, all right. You fucking bullshit. Oh, what do you hear basketball next door? Fuck you.

It's 1863 you said? No, 1898. 98. Okay, I got to make sure I get my year correct so I know what's happening. It's going to be valuable information. It's the Democrat Herald, Springfield, Colorado, January 14th. There's a Springfield, Colorado. There is. There is that. There's a Springfield everywhere. I'm sure. I did not know. Might have gotten rid of it by now.

Who knows? Matt Groening shut a lot of them down. A lot of these. It was quite litigious. There's a lot of Colorado towns that existed and then they went away because it was just a mining town. Yeah. All right.

So, yeah, because earlier this year, I was the Springfield of the state of Illinois and I did go there. So, I'm just trying to, okay, so Springfield, Colorado. There's a was the Springfield of the state of Illinois. And I did a show there. So I'm just trying to, okay. So Springfield, Colorado. There's a bunch of Springfields. It's like the. Yeah. Yeah.

So Massachusetts one. Didn't they have some sort of contest? Like they tried to claim like which one was the Simpson Springfield? Like it turned out to be the Massachusetts one, right? Well, you have, you have me or Quimby. So it kind of has to be the Massachusetts one, right? Me, Quimby, also Kennedy related. Yeah, a skekel.

Must be a skekel. Earl, very big cork. Very big cork. Said, nice cork. Nice cork. Cork doesn't sound so bad in the hard Massachusetts. Cork tour. Cork tour.

Let me tell you, don't buy the cryptocurrency from the Coctua. She started doing stand-up yet? It's coming, man. Some people believe that she's just my ayahuasca trip here to kill my ego. Yeah. Sure. There will come a day when I have been doing five minutes on stage at the Comedy Store and someone will pass me a note That says wrap it up Hawk to us here

Wants to go on okay Yeah, I've been I and when that happens I will have been bumped by Gabriel Iglesias Jerry Seinfeld and then Hawk to most talented of the three. Pretty much Comedy Mount Rushmore. Yeah, without question. If we're being honest. Those are good bumps though.

Those are good bumps. I got bumped by Seinfeld once. Those are solid bumps. I'm totally fine with all those bumps. Mine are Seinfeld and Chris Rock. Those are the biggest. Get off, what do you got? Nothing? That's great.

Do you guys remember the guy from the Dunkin Donuts commercial? Time to make the donuts. No, no, but he was in one of those. Not that guy, but he was in one of those. Oh my God. Yeah, that guy, he was doing pretty good for a while and he still bumps me. When Chris Rock bumped me, I looked at him and I said, well, we have the same manager, so I'll allow it. And he just stared at me, just nothing, nothing.

That's that charm. Yeah. The old rock charm. All right, here we go. Two policemen in Boston are hard at work trying to prevent the students of a young medical school and those of a young lady. Long headline. Long headline. Yeah. Oh, this is the article.

There's no headline in this one. There's no headlines in this paper, I don't think. Oh, OK. Oh, interesting. Hey, well, it is Springfield, Colorado. So they're like, we don't have sections to this paper. Yeah. Throw it in the paper. Yeah. They probably got bumped by other headlines. OK. Springfield, Colorado.

Yeah. Yeah. Two policemen in Boston are hard at work trying to prevent the students of a medical school and those of a young ladies seminary from looking at each other. Good. Good. Save room for the Holy Spirit. Yeah, they'll be none of that. Not not banging, not just clearly staring. Check it out. This is clearly a one way.

That's a future jack off. Stop it. We know what bank is storing storing her in. And nuns. Yeah, that's right. And so, like future nuns. Police were called to this? Cops. Yeah, cops were called because the dudes are clearly checking out the nuns. Thought crimes.

Hey, you should, you want to be a nun there, sister? You're under arrest. We know what you were going to do. Chickies balls, Dan. Hey, you need to help Mary over there. Sometimes when I think that things are pretty bad nowadays, I just I can listen to this podcast, listen to one headline, no paper. We've evolved a little. A little.

It is safe to say that you are allowed to ogle. Yeah, you can ogle. Yeah, you can ogle. We're allowed to ogle. Yeah, an ogle is fine. An ogle is okay. Yeah. Just don't, as long as you're just not like, it's a compliment.

That's, yeah, but you're allowed to have a stare. Yeah, have a stare. Yeah. Have a glance. Yeah. The skulls. Based on my height though, based on my height, I don't even know if I'm allowed to stare straight though. I can't stare straight.

I have to be at an angle and up. Yeah, dangled. If I'm tilted up, then we're okay. Then we're okay. But if I'm standing straight, lost it. Is the term Muff High still a thing that people use? Oh yeah. That's where you went to school, right?

Yeah, Muff High. Go Beavers! Yeah, go Beavers. Go Muff High Beavers. All right, someone make that into a t-shirt. Yeah, there you go. Beaver's. All right, someone make that into a t-shirt. Yeah, there you go. There is a school in North Dakota, I've been told about this many times, there is a high school in North Dakota whose mascot is the Midgets. Oh shit, seriously? What? All I want is a

t-shirt. What? Brad, you can't have me be the one who's saying no to that. You want the merch. I'm like, no, we're not doing that. I mean, there are some people that if told that they were going up against the fight and midgets of North Dakota would be quite scared. But most people, if you're like the Buffalo or the Tigers, probably not too afraid of the midgets. The Tigers are ruining the midgets today. They are ripping them apart.

I mean, imagine how confused, because, you know, there's a friend of mine does, he's in Texas and he announces high school football games high school basketball games Imagine if you don't know the mascot and you just hear the announcer like and that's the 12th rebound The midgets are really on one this season a President and unprecedented Rebounding tonight by the midgets that's the midgets first duck of the evening more to come most likely Slam dunk by the midgets and you're like traveling by the midgets. How did that happen? So we got that going for us yeah

It could always be worse. I mean we've heard ones on this show that you're like, oh They went on for like my but that's like the craziest one is Yeah, it could always be worse. I mean, we've heard ones on this show that you're like, Oh, no, they went on for like my. But that's like the craziest one is next to Peoria. There's a peak in chains. We tell 81 or 81. Oh, yeah. 81. Yeah. 81. But and that's not OK.

No. But the fact that midget is still being that's why. the That is too far. Yeah, I'm glad we're saving well But snow white and the seven normal-hided men also sounds Yeah, no why don't the regular man then it just becomes way weirder yeah Yeah, just like what we all try to fuck her god. You are really awful If you watch the trailer if you watch the trailer for the new live-action Snow White There's a there's a time when the CGI dwarfs not real not real actors, but the CGI dwarfs Catch Snow White sleeping in there in their bed and it's a real, you know, it's real Goldilocks situation and and and they go, oh, a human. And I'm like, right, because we're not.

What? Are you serious? Oh my god. God, they're overcorrection there. Oh my god. Yeah. Because that happens whenever anyone sees someone sleeping in their home, no matter what, is they go, a human.

I'm like- A human woman. A human. He sees someone sleeping in their home, no matter what, and they go, a human. A human woman. A human. The quarterback from the Bengals, Joe Burrow, he got robbed last week. I'm sure if he had come home and seen the robber in his home, he would have been like, hark, a human. A human. By the way, he got robbed all season.

That's why he didn't freak out. Exactly. No, and then wait, they CGI'd the Dwarf? As opposed to what? As opposed to paying me? Yes, yes, as opposed to paying me. You're just one of them called Filthy. Filthy, stop pitching ideas.

They gave the paycheck to a guy at Industrial Light and Magic, so I'm glad that they got him. A regular-hited man. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a whole thing. It was they announced the film, and then Dinklage goes on Mark Maron's podcast and says, like I I don't believe they're going to actually like do this thing again And you know pay other dwarfs And then that that's what he does and then they go. Oh, don't worry We're not and then they had it snow white the seven magical beings which just looked like a hacky sack

Circle at Berkeley. It was just like there circle at Berkeley. It was just like there and there's one and there's one dwarf in that group and then the rest just were all different shapes sizes colors everything else and then what and then they went and that's offensive so then they went back and just CGI so I don't know if now no I would say journey and then we're gonna get back to the paper, but I do want to know. Yes. So are you anti-Dinklage? Oh, listen, man.

Is it a complicated relationship? I got my problems with Dink. We call him Dink. And he hasn't been to a meeting in forever. He feels like a big time. Oh, is he too big for the meetings now? Sorry. Too big, too big for the little people.

But I will say this about Dinklage. One of the reasons why I have my problems with him is because he's so damn talented and great, and if they made a movie and called it the Brad Williams story, it would probably be starring Peter Dinklage. Let's be honest. I would, I still wouldn't get that part.

We need a Brad Williams type. Let's get Dinklage. He had a scene in game of Thrones that my wife hates those kinds of shows. And I called her and I'm like, no, just watch the scene. And it was like, like a tour de force of fucking acting, like like just incredible was that when he shot his father on the shitter with a crossbow that set you guys back a long way cuz everyone was like don't shit in front of little people you know what they're up to yeah we have crossbows yeah you're at their height they come at you yeah they got crossbows it is the least they're like possible like that's conceivable minor yeah like oh they forge they're big frolicers I don't forge get more than five of them

together they're gonna dance around in circles they're true and God help you if there's a maypole They just vote out. Those dwarves. All right, Dave, go back to the back to the paper. No, that's very interesting. The schools are close together and the students are let out at the same time every day. That's a problem. Why there's a big issue.

That's stagger. There's the issue. Stagger. That's it. Stagger. If the plan worked, the more young persons would be less or more than human There we go The doors Human Human barely that is that what the kids said when they got out of school and saw and saw the opposite sex Human woman school and saw the opposite sex? Yeah. Oh my god. A human woman.

A human woman. Quick. It won't. There is only one sure way of stopping the mischief and that is to abolish the schools. Jesus Christ. Yep. That's right. That's absolutely right.

That's right. Yep. I think we're done pitching. We've got it. Shut them down. Not even one of them either. One of them, both have to go. Yeah, both. You can't like say, okay, just let this other one out 20 minutes earlier

or later. No, no, no. They both have to go. That's it. Sorry. This is what happens. You know, you stare at the opposite sex and now no one gets to learn nothing. Yeah, but to the credit of this story that nobody's fucked since. So I guess it was effective strategy. Very true.

Yeah. Very true. In this story, we have the setup for an incredible porn. Yeah. Yeah, we really do. I've definitely seen it. Yeah. It's definitely one of those ones where you're like, get out of the nun outfit.

I don't have all day. Yep, come on now. Daddy's got a busy day ahead. Busy day. Well, I hope if they do make that porno that they keep it true to the era, you know, in terms of, you know, shaving and whatnot. Oh, thank you. Tattoos and everything. You know, you terms of, you know, shaving and whatnot. Oh, thank you. Tattoos. Yeah. And everything.

Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. You got to be authentic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. No. I mean, what you're saying is, is that the the the ladies going to school to be nuns had gigantic bushes. That's what I'm trying to say. The gentleman probably had enormous biceps and tribal tattoos

and would make way too much noise for me to continue watching. Why is why is that guy in the 1890s wearing a puka shell? The dollop is brought to you by Squarespace. Oh Dave. Of course, our friends forever. We've been using Squarespace forever. We love their websites.

Trouble has arisen between Germany and the Little Republic of Haiti. Well, yeah, I mean,

how did they meet? That's right. I mean, it's got it can't be any racism here, right? War tender. Yeah. At first I was waiting for you to say Poland. You said Haiti. I'm like, that's a law. I mean, it has hate in the name. Let's go.

We thought we would get along swimmingly when we saw a country with hate. Yes, turns out they really want respect. So too late. It was owing to the arrest by the Haitian police of a man claiming to be a German citizen. The German minister demanded his release and a payment of $50,000 indemnity. So they wanted, because he got arrested, they're like, give him a bunch of fucking money. Yeah. Did you arrest a Weizmann?

A Weizmann. Free him and pass $50,000. What kind of fucked up game of Monopoly is this? Yeah. Do not pass Haiti,? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do not pass Haiti, but collect $50,000. The man was set free. $50,000? $50,000.

Back then. Shitload of money. I mean, you know they're not going to give you that. Fuck no. They're like, that's our GDP. Yeah, that would be like if when Britneyney griner got detained were like, all right You got britney griner. You now owe us three trillion Like three trillion and we want them and we want her to be allowed to hit the one hitter in jail. Yeah

Yeah, it's all that would be the equivalent it's almost Wait a minute. Am I what it's almost two million dollars Wait a minute. Am I what it's almost two million dollars If that feels way it feels like way more than that Well for the for the inconvenience of get of getting arrested by the way no mention if he was actually guilty Yeah, I know he could have been raped and murdering across the Haiti and they're like no No, not the German guy been bad. Yeah Come on. That's not the Germany. I know and nerve by the way that is that is like the most trodden thing it's just like

stand-ups comedians whenever Germany comes up we're like Guess what I'm thinking about and the German people are genuine like one time let it go. Yeah, but that one Real bad real bad you Real bad, real bad. You guys, forever, it's the trope. Yeah. Like, you talk to German people at a show, they're like, but from Germany, you know they're like, oh fuck, get ready.

I imagine Germans are just sitting there like, there have been other times, other countries have done similar things. Yeah, yeah. I don't hear this bullshit. You know, America, you're doing, you actively do many, enough Germany. times other countries have done similar things. Yeah, yeah. I don't hear this bullshit. Yeah, America, you're doing you actively do many. Enough, Germany. Yeah.

You guys, you know, it was a whole thing with you. The man was set free, but Haiti's unwilling to pay. Germany threatened to send a cruiser to press her claim at the remonstrance of our government, she abandoned her purpose. Well, mostly because it would have taken about eight months for the cruiser to get there. Right, and then everyone's like, why are you here again?

Why are you here? Oh, the money? Oh, for that guy. Yeah, and now? Well, go back and tell him no. Yeah, yeah, and then come back, let us know what they say. Yeah, yeah, tell him, go back and tell him no. Yeah. Yeah. And then come back. Let us know what they say. Yeah. My life. My life. That is we threatened to send a cruiser because you arrested a man and we said nine. It would be amazing if they were just sending a gay dude to cruise.

Yeah, but it would be amazing if they were just sending a gay dude to cruise. Oh, that would be great. Yeah, that would be. He's like, yeah. Now, is this is this a gay German? Because that's the next step. I don't know if I have. I don't know if I'm a lot. It's all I want to do, but I don't think I can do it.

But you know what it's like. There's like techno and he's like, it doesn't matter if we get to shore. This guy's really not focused at all I mean he's really packed the fucking boat wait so you need me to go on another voyage no no no no no no no no I'm and I'm bringing my monkey oh my god. He has a monkey. A German guy with a monkey. All Germans have monkeys. At least the ones I know. Ah! Ah! Uh...

It's so weird. Gareth, we're both doing the same thing. We're trying to do a head thing to help us get the accent. I don't want to do it, but the comedy zombie inside me is really fighting through it. Yeah, it is. It's just, it's like, it's so hacky, it's taking over my body. Yeah, I have to feel the Da Rude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Das Boot! The diabolical assassination of William Terrace, the distinguished British actor, by a worthless crank with a homicidal mania. Wow. Now, let me ask you this. Is this going to be slanted reporting in any way? Yeah, I'm like, they're really taking a side here. No bias.

Pro actor. Very pro actor in Colorado. Brings up before us again, and in a most urgent form, the question of dealing with this class of pests. What is. Wow. I said, yeah, well, I'm sure it's the poor, but it is funny to just be like, yeah, I don't know. I'm starting to not trust the assassin.

Now, the fact that I called them pests just makes me think of like, like, like a, like Trump getting shot, but then like slapping his shoulder. Like it's a fly. Like he's darn assassin. They're everywhere. They're everywhere. Light a torch. They're coming.

Someone light a torch. Someone light a torch. I got bit again. Don't you get upgraded from past if you actually successfully do the assassination? Yeah, I haven't heard of a cockroach just taking someone out. Yeah, honestly. You know, so yeah, I get I give an old upgrade. These pests. Yeah, all these assassins. By the way, they were probably like, when he was done dying, they were probably like,

unbelievable. Wow. Well done. Well done. Look at the blood. How do you do that? Such commitment. Look, his heart's all over the floor.

He did leave it all out there once again. You know, you know, Christian Bale would read this story and be like, I can play that actor. Yeah, I can get interviewed. Yeah. I mean, he was not a regular guy, you know, when he fought about it. What? I want to see that movie.

Let's go. Yeah. I want to see that movie. Let's go. There's no law for punishing or even locking up a crank, no matter how dangerous he may notoriously be. What's the fun? There's no. So is is crank like a slang that I'm not familiar with? Because aren't you just going to plead crank? I feel like I feel like they can't lock me up.

Yeah, unfortunately, he's a crank. Oh, shit. Well, what are we going to do? He's a crank. You heard? Yeah. All right. You can do what he wants out here. You know, he's a crank. Yeah. Let him go, boys. We didn't realize he suffered from crank. So it was like crank the equivalent back in the day to diplomatic immunity.

Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's insane equivalent back in the day to diplomatic immunity Yeah, it's it's it's in say it's the insanity plea. I Crank yeah I think they mean like Like mentally unstable kind of yeah, right? I'm sure but by the way anyone who's saying an actor's nuts is a stable-minded human This is crank on crank. Yeah, but also they did lock up people who had mental issues all the time I'm away. It gives a shit like that. Yeah

Maybe they just mean like see if solitary makes him go normal Justice waits until he commits murder and then offers to society the beggarly reparation of the gallows. The peril is one which the individual must meet for himself. Government avenges him only after he has been slain and his family desolated. Well, that's. Yeah. Well, that's super helpful.

It's part of being American. That's just American. That actually sounds very government. Once he's dead, we're going to step in. That's when they will have crossed the line as far as we're concerned. But until then, do it until then, let the process play out as it does. We'll see what happens. It's called a human shutdown.

Come in at the 11th hour. I was trying to Google the term crank and all I get is drug references and a preview to a Jason Statham movie. Which is, by the way, even for Jason Statham, a movie where you're like, well, this is crazy. Yeah. I was... Yeah. Because I think that's the film where it's like speed, but on his heart rate.

Is that what he's got to do? Yes. Yeah. Where he's going to keep his heart rate above his 30-mile hold? Yeah. And there's a scene where he's fucking in some scene, and he's got a battery on his chest. It's just like, Jason Statham, after that, he took a year off. He's like, I've got like a battery on his chest. It's just like Jason Statham after that, he took a year off.

He's like, I've got to figure out what I'm doing. He looked in the mirror and he goes, who am I? How, how was he doing interviews for that movie where it's like when you knew you had to bang to get your heart rate up. Yeah. All right. Keep the bomb from going off in your chest. Yeah.

Well, the bomb was in. Well, I mean, there's a lot of times I thought about Michael Caine, really. He was a bit like he was an inspo. What would he do? Hey, it would be amazing to see like a real like Patrick Stewart in that. Yeah, Patrick Stewart. When you were in crank mid-sex the bum was about to go off side your body. Yeah that's right.

When I was fucking to keep the bum from going off I was really thinking about Stanislavski. I was doing a bit Meisner. I was thinking, you know, I was thinking, well, what if I had a bomb in my chest and I was trying to have like doggy style fucking. Yeah, it was actually Ibsen that first introduced the concept. I don't know if you've seen Craps last tape, but... You know, it's Chekhov who said it best, which was, just keep pounding and don't worry about a bomb in your chest. I love how your statement goes, from Staveham to Kane, back to Staveham.

Yeah, it's that good. goes from Stephen to Kane back to Stephen. Yeah, it's that good. That's right. Because, you know, this sounds exactly like Jason Statham. I believe it was the Cherry Orchard. Yeah, I had been in 9,000 Fast and Furious movies. I would love it if Michael Caine was in one, like whatever next Fast and Furious film. That's right, it's all about family. Let's slow down a little bit. There are speed limits out here for a reason. Perfect. See, that's just a more fun impression to do.

The stadium's just down here, you know. It's a bit old, breathy, and it's not fun at all. It is down here. It's not fun. But hey, Michael Caine, you just sound like, Michael Caine sounds like you're tuning an old child radio. Brad, I think the last episode we did, Michael Caine Impressions, that memory serves. I think maybe. I hope so.

I tried, it's my calling card. Every- It's a theme. I'm fine with it being a theme. I'm okay with it too. I'm totally fine with it. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Cause it was a steak.

Cause I took his steak. I wanna, I feel like you also started out. Didn't you also start out with Christian Bale and he also sounded like Jason Statham? Yeah, but then I Christian Bale done it. I went with the steak. So. Is Michael Caine a sir?

Are we doing him a disservice by not saying? He's a sir. He's knighted. Well, you know what? I have a grip. Mom, is Michael Caine knighted? By the way, that's not his mother. He just has an English woman.

He keeps in the corner and she answers his questions. Yeah. Confirmed. Oh no, not confirmed. Not 100%. But as close as we can get to the crown. Listen, I didn't ask my ass off in so many movies for you not to call me sir and disrespect me like that.

During the ceremony, I thought the queen was about to stab me. Yeah. He was knighted in 2000. He was knighted. He was givened in 2000. He was knighted. He was given, he was given the title. He was given the title of Sir Maurice. Mickle white. All right.

You know what? The show's over and there'll be no argument. This episode's done. Sir Maurice. Mickle white. I didn't know you got to come up with your weird. I that's awesome. I mean, what, what was his inspiration for that name, a villain in Clue? Yeah, they were just like, and what do you want to be knighted under?

You get to pick a name. I'll be the honorable Nigel Ponsby. Okay, well done. I feel like you can do Eddie Izzard's Engelbert Humperdinck bit to this name and it still works. Yeah, right. Maurice Manichezitz. No.

Engelbert Bambibac. No. What's his name again? I already forgot it. It's a flip tagerment. All right, we should keep going. That's his dad's name. What? What's his name again? I already forgot it. It's a flip tagerment. All right, we should keep going.

That's his dad's name. Really? Well, no, it isn't. But all right, real quick while we're name dropping, have you ever seen Leonardo DiCaprio's dad? No. No. Is it fucking insane? And I, and I, and I like, however I stumbled upon the information of what Leonardo DiCaprio's dad looks like I was like holy shit

This is wild then I'm at a farmers market and I'm like, oh my god And I was like, oh my god, so I was like kind of like followed him to like two stands just to be like Wow, look at him Holding persimmons just like one of us regs. Oh my God. He looks like the guy from the room. Yes. He looks like a disguise. Yes. He looks like he's been witness protection. Wow. What the fuck happened there?

I don't know. Sounds like if you're Leo's dad, doesn't sound like you want to be witness protection at all. You want to be out there saying, I'm Leo's dad. He needs to be queered more than anyone I've ever like they would just be like cut your hair It's weird straggly and dark Look like they're for a foot doctor He did underground comic comic books shit, so there you go. Yeah, it looks like you did him underground Yeah, he was just walking around I was like was like yeah I bet he doesn't get stopped all the time I should ask for a picture I'm a huge fan you crazy oh oh my son no no

no of the balls that made him have your balls sir can I cup them please man oh let's let's do one goofy faces where I hold your balls this sir. Can I cup them, please? Just a note. May I? Let's do one goofy face is where I hold your balls. This is where Leo once lived. Wow. Leo's first apartment. Until you evicted him. Until he evicted him.

A shortcut to notoriety has been affected by a woman of Paris who contributed and collected 10,000 francs toward the Guy de Maupassant monument recently unveiled in the Parc Moncourt on the conditions that her own portrait to be introduced. No clue what just happened. She paid. I'm not the only one. Yeah, she she thwarted someone's. She paid.

Likely she paid for a monument to be put up in a park. Relatable. But her only stipulation was that they would also put up a portrait of her. OK. Oh, yeah. I mean, honestly. This is who paid for this shit. Yeah. Seriously.

That's all that is. This is who paid for this shit. By the way. Beautiful. That doesn't seem crazy to me. It seems crazy to me. It doesn't seem crazy. If I was at the park and there was just like a statue and then right next to it was just

like a picture of like some rich guy like, you're welcome. Yeah. Yeah. With a you're welcome talk bubble. Yeah. That's Paul Revere. And then that's, uh, that's Brad Copeland. He's the one who paid for all this. He, uh, he just wanted a little bust of his self made coming out of the horse. Hey, man. I mean, you go to any park bench, it has dedicated. Yeah, that's what I mean. But it's a name. It's a name, not a picture. Yeah. Well, I think they're doing themselves a disservice. And I think if you provide enough stuff, you should be like,

I want a comic strip of me donating it. It's highly unorthodox. Be like, do you want it or not? Yeah. It's like two hundred thousand dollars. I'm just asking you to frame a picture. I actually don't want it. Because it ruins. Where I'm dressed like a tennis player from the 80s. And in a little talk bubble, it says, you suck, I rule.

All right. The ludicrous result, the figure of a fat. Ludicrous was alive back then? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I, yeah. Sorry. I had to.

You had to. So bad. So bad. Move! The- The Ludacris result, the figure of a fashionably dressed woman reclining in a long chair at the foot of a bust of the poet- This is right.

This is right. Is characterized by a writer in aed newspaper as an advertisement in marble for some leading dressmaker. Human vanity takes forms, and some persons chose to bask in the world's gaze, even at the expense of self respect. I mean, people spoke better back then. Yeah, it's a lot of words to be like the nerve. This is it's a lot. It's a lot of words to be like the nerve. This is it's it's branding.

This is Trumpy shit. It is Trumpy shit. He's like, I deserve credit. Yeah, we like. But then I feel like we would give it to him if he spoke like that. But now, yeah, right. Evolved from that language to I have the best words, coffee tea. That's where we are.

It went from that headline that was almost a soliloquy to this, which is best words, absolute best words. No one has better words. Big dick. Big dick. Well, it's just gonna, they're gonna put like Robert E Lee like statues back up And he's gonna be like and my only request is instead of a horse's head. It's mine They're like sir, that's super crazy

Doesn't sound wild to me or I'm on the back holding his hips Can you can you carve me under the horse? Which brings sweet nothings. It makes me a centaur and I was carrying him to a battle that he would subsequently win. Sir. Yeah. So it's like history repeats itself.

Only we're getting dumber. Yes. Absolutely. Well, OK, I think I'm on her side. I really am. Slavery of the ocean. Oh, boy. Let's be up. Let's hear a little more before the jokes go fly. OK, let's see what side I want to be on on this.

Keep reading, punchline picture. The steamer Lambert's point. Captain Humphrey, which has been lying here for some days since she arrived with her cotton cargo on fire. What? That's a lot going on here. OK, I was very I was going on very I was very plain with what I said. I was very straightforward.

So a ship, the Lambert's Point arrived with cotton on fire and has been sitting there for a few days. How did you guys want to deliver? You didn't say what shape it was supposed to be. It's not on fire here it says blaze because we're not taking it back all right it's sale do something with it yeah yeah use for the on fire cotton it's still good. Sailed for Liverpool today with a deckload of cotton still afire. Cool.

So that captain was like, look, let's just go. Let's finish the job. Hey, can we unload this cotton that's on fire? No. Yeah. When we get to Liverpool. Yeah. Over there.

Once the job's done. That is. How long does cotton burn? I wasn't aware. I don't know. I thought it was pretty much flat. It'll go faster than the boat ride to Liverpool. Oh, come on. Fast.

It's all packed in. It's all packed together. It's going to burn slow. If it's packed, really packed in, it's going to burn slow. Making candles out of cotton instead of wax. We definitely shouldn't be finishing the delivery while it's bling. Well, if it's burning. OK, I have a let's just so a guy drops his watch

and it goes to the bottom of the cotton and then he goes down into the cotton to get it and he can't find it. So he lights a match. What's happening? He lights a match. So the cotton starts burning at the bottom. So you got to how you going to unload that? How are you going to what are you going to do? Do you like the bottom?

I feel like that was an essay question. If a man lights a match inside a cotton ball. Yeah. You just pitched such a garbage version of Titanic. Oh, I'm sorry. Star Leo's dad. I pitch a James Bond version. Apologies. Leo's dad's James Bond version. That's Titanic. He's just painting a dog penis and they're like, sir.

Sir. But it love is love. Mr. DiCaprio, get off the boat. Oh, oh, here you go. The crew refused to sail and tell compelled by the police Well, what the fuck? The cops are here they They say go yeah get on

Well, the police are here and they say you got to still go with the fire cotton. We might die. It's on fire If it yeah, we really by you're surrounded by water water You know, but the boat we don't safe is Safest place to be is to be going to the ocean will go out. But so will we? Hey, I don't know what you want us to say the cops who are the uniform dads came here and they say you're going Understand boats and people. Hey buddy. it is like 1880 or some shit. Nobody knows anything. I got leeches on my neck because I had a cough. Now, get the fuck out of here.

If the fire becomes serious, it is intended to jettison the cotton. So there you go. So we do have a predictor. So if it gets over certain. Fire amount at one point, does the thing on fire? Do they go? Yeah, it's probably a lot on fire now. It's too much on fire. So, sir, I just came from the cotton deck. You're not going to believe this.

More cotton's burning than there was before. Were you on the cotton deck or the fire deck? Well, it's becoming a bit of both. Ooh. Uh, the cotton is more on fire than when we left. Uh-huh. But it's still, there's still cotton, right? Oh yeah.

Okay. We're good. There's just more fire. Liverpool. Perhaps it was a mistake to put the cotton deck so close to the fire deck. You know, in retrospect, that's one we'll be noodling for a while. We also probably should have let Bobby down there to look for his will watch in a match.

I don't think that happened. I really don't think you stop getting involved in the conversation. Grownups over here. We're all having a real conversation. And you're Leon had gotten out of DiCaprio's dad probably. Horse swallowed whip. Wow.

Wow. That happened. That'll teach you. Yeah, that'll teach you. That's the day where you're like, well, I don't know if I have any moves. I whipped the horse to make him go faster. He swallowed the whip. Yeah. The whip.

Now he's in the house. Watching TV. And I'm out there getting rid of my, the boys stop. That is doubt to buggy whip four feet and a half long, could remain in a horse's stomach for over two years and the horse survived seems implausible. Impossible. But just this thing happened to a valuable animal owned by Alan Eagle near Carbondale, Illinois, which died a few days ago.

So the horse died from whip? I wonder what was wrong with him. No, he could have died from anything, really. Yeah, really. I don't know what got him. I mean, he did spaghetti the whip. But other than that, we're all baffled. I just, I love the fact that this is that this is national news.

What? Not even local. This was no. This is the way I think this would be national news today. If a horse died, it would. Don't think it would be. I think if a horse ate a whip and it was in there for a while, they'd be like, democracy dies in darkness. Also, this horse ain't a riding crop. I mean, maybe if like, if whip is like the.

Congressman who whips up the votes. Yeah, I could see that being a national headline. Honestly, the only way it would hit the news, and I don't mean to keep going to this well, but this feels like a story Trump would talk about. Yeah, it does. It feels like the Hannibal Lecter. Yeah. It's the windmills causing cancer.

I mean, under Joe Biden, horses are eating whips and they're dying two years later. I met with five farmers the other day. The horses have never been more dead from whip. They're whip dead. Okay. As your president, horses will cease to eat whips. I will not feed them whips. We're done with that.

They're eating hay, god damn it. They're only in... Elon, only hay, okay? A veterinarian held a post-mortem examination as to what caused the horse's death, and a whip was found protruding from the stomach. Hey, I don't even need to cut into the horse. I heard the whip thing. I think they're saying that they didn't know

he had eaten the whip until they did the exam. Oh. Okay. Okay. Imagine there's the prize. Whoa. Well, this is opening. Look at that.

Holy cow. Wow. Well, that's where that went. Doctor, his penis was inside him the whole time. What? Sir, that was a whip. We found a whip. Did you know that horses have an in and out penis? This one had an

innie. This one had an innie. Boy, what a sad life to keep something like this backstage the whole time. Because I'll tell you, it's a banger with a handle. Wow. This is a real bummer. Mr. Eagle in October 1895 used a six foot buggy whip to punch an obstruction down the horse's throat, putting a horseshoe, putting a horseshoe in the animal's mouth to keep it open. So he's just doing horse doctor stuff. So he's jamming whip the button end of the whip. To try to help it? It's a punch of obstruction down the horse's throat. What? But that...

The horse is choking. Was he trying to cause one or trying to kill one? So he's using the whip to try to knock a thing down. He's like, oh, I'll take this horseshoe. He probably was looking for it for five months after. He's like, where did I put that? They cut him open. He goes, that makes sense.

Ah, now it all checks out. There was an obstruction in there. The horseshoe. Before the whip. The horseshoe fell out. And the horse bit off the whip, swallowing the long end with no bad effects until a short time ago. It was second and died. No bad effects, says the person who probably never checked on the horse after swallowing the whip, the horse worked every day and ate three meals a day.

I mean, I didn't I didn't realize they were on our breakfast, lunch, dinner cycle either. That's what you're getting from this one. Yeah. I'm flagging a few things to be honest with you, but yeah, that's among them part of this balance breakfast. I just imagine him getting caught. Ramming the button of the whip down a horse's throat

and he's like, no, no, no, I'm trying to save it. Don't worry. I think I saved it. It just ate a whip and coughed up a shoe. It'll probably be okay. Anyway, it's time for the horse's brunch. I mean, I'm glad I'm glad we live in the time that we live in. Yeah, no, when horses are treated with respect and not killed at racetracks and things like that.

Exactly. So, that statement coming from the man who's dressed like a lawn jockey, look at this hat. That statement coming from the man who's dressed like a lawn jockey. Look at this hat. Yeah, well, yeah, you do have a chapeau on. There's a riding crop somewhere in the office. It's in you. You ate it, Brad. Remember, you were joking. Hold on. Punch my esophagus while using a lawn. Yeah. You know how to do the Heimlich?

Yeah. Put your arm in me. Oh, well, here comes that. Here comes that gay German from earlier. Did someone say Heimlich? Huh? Hello. Huh? Oh, no, the boat has a cotton fire. I wish we still did the horseshoe thing, though. Like, that'd be amazing if that if that stuck around and we just were putting horseshoes and things miles to try to stop choking.

Now get your hands down there. I mean, this guy was like anti-McGyver. We'll use this horseshoe, a whip in my hand to save its life. Like MacGyver, maybe do another thing. There's a bunch of, you have actual tools here no no punch the horse's throat we're gonna punch the horse's throat with a whip and I'll put the shoe in its mouth the dentist that opened yeah stomach taken out that is this for this is a follow-up from the horse a different story

now, okay Cod man Beck failed to live without a stomach. Oh Somehow news someone's gonna seen that coming. Yeah, that's your what got him doc Well, we removed his mouth and that was it for him. After the operation by which his stomach was removed, he recovered from the shock, but he was very weak and was found impossible to inject enough nourishment to keep him alive. He died last evening. What was the plan? I think this was done once and it was to this guy. Yeah. Like they were like, well, that was the plan? I think this was done once and it was to this guy.

Yeah. Like they were like, well, that was a, we were, what were we thinking? That was way off. Hey guys, let's go, let's tell his family the truth. That was some really dumb stuff. Yeah. Well, he came in and said he had a stomach ache. So we removed his stomach.

We took it all out. Thinking that would help. Nah. Then he had a stomach ache, so we removed his stomach. We took it all out. He was thinking that would help. Nah, then he had a digestive issue, so. Yeah. The plan, so what we're gonna do is take your stomach. Yeah. And the guy's just sitting there like, well, you guys are the doctors.

Hey, you're the best, you're the best in town, and that's what's awesome about you guys. Well, you know, we removed his stomach and found out well, that's pretty important You really need that it turns out Yeah, I thought it was like the appendix just a thing that you don't really use Like you look like well, first of all, the appendix is everything so I don't know what you're talking Sorry my bad Yeah The appendix is everything. So I don't know what you're talking. Sorry. My bad. Yeah.

We put leeches on the stomach and that didn't help. That didn't do anything. You know, we tried to put his head in the stomach towards the end and make it look like it was kind of a space helmet that didn't work. I thought you could just take the head off. Put an apple there, but it doesn't work. No, not yet. We're learning a lot of these medical lessons the hard way.

We're in what we call our learning phase. The stomach is needed. Yes, vital. All right, last one. All right, here we go. Sydney Tate, a young attorney, came in with the mail stage from Lamar last evening to see this place with a view to locating for the practice of law.

So there's a possible lawyer coming to town, which is exciting because it's probably don't have a lot of I think the stomach guy needs it. Family don't have a case. Yeah. He needs it. Yeah. It's family. You don't have a case. Yeah. He was not favorably impressed and went back this morning.

What? So then they're basically saying the town is shit. Like this guy came and he's like, I can be a lawyer here. Even the lawyer was like, there's a legal shit hole. Imagine a lawyer walking into a town so bad where they went, whoa, this is. Everyone's like getting ready, like the lawyer's into a town so bad where they went, well, this is... Everyone's like getting ready like,

the lawyer's coming to town. Put your Sunday's best on, Grace. I can't wait to sue you, friend! Now be quiet. Everything's gonna be a little different once the lawyer comes to town, act your part. Sheriff, your badge isn't as shiny as it could be.

Well, good God damn it, Martha, spit on spit on it shanit the lawyers coming to town the lawyer will be here tomorrow now from the top let's all sing remember the song where he's a jolly good man oh fuck he's a jolly good man alright and then I'll approach him well lawyer I think you're gonna find this town is perfect for Lord you guys didn't hear he took one look and turned around that sack of shit. The fuck are you talking about? And we were in rehearsal for three weeks.

Well, I gave him I gave him hating lawyers. I gave him a basket with a stomach and that whip in it. And I mean, I'd say we should sue him but we have no clue how invite him back so we could figure out how to sue him all right places one more time one more time places I just love that. Someone with a particular job comes to town, it's like, well, this is cause for celebration. Well, let's be honest, Brad. In your time of being a standup, there's more than five to six times when you've arrived to a city you've probably never been to and been like, I'd love a U-turn option.

Wait a minute. I will not have you desecrate the good people of Shreveport, Louisiana. I was thinking El Paso. There's certain ones are like, Jesus Christ. Why? Why did you do it? Yeah. Someone opened the comedy club

El Paso is still the punchline to one of my favorite jokes of all time and it's a Johnny Carson joke It's a it's a car knack where the answer is El Paso and the question is what does the quarterback do when he can't El Rono or El Ponto when he can't El Reno or El Ponto. Ha ha ha! That's fucking good. Hold up. When I went to El Paso, I went into the, I had never met Dennis Regan. I went into the comedy condo and I just walked in and he goes, well, what happened to your career?

El Paso? Dennis Regan? Yeah. Brian Regan's brother. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. I do know him. That's a show.

I mean, he's doing well, though. He's funny, but Brian Regan's brother. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, I do know him. That's a show. I mean, he's doing well, though. He's funny, but Brian Regan, holy shit. Well, Brad, bradwilliamscomedy.com, thank you for coming back. Thank your wife for listening to this and being reminded that you're in the comedy business. Yes. Even though selling out theaters should remind her. Can we give her some promo codes for some sponsors? Yeah, absolutely.
