My guest today is one of my favorite people in North. I say that for all my guess, but I mean once again today, it is Brad Williams. Brad Williams, cheers me, lad. Cheers. Cheers. We're having a little bit of Weller today. Brad was scared of the high proof. He got a little scared.

He got a scared. I'm tiny. He's a tiny man. I know, is this glass too big for you? Yeah. Hold it with two hands so you don't spell all over the place. Okay, hold on. You know, it's funny.

You know I have little people joke in my show right now, and you've seen it. And it's working out like a story. Yeah. And, uh, um, I was like, oh, and I say on stage now, I'm like, Brad likes that joke for those of you that are getting upset about it. I was like, Brad's my friend. We like, we like to joke around. Yes. If you can't shit on me for being a pale, um, orange freak. Yes. What are we talking about? What, like, that's, that's my, that's my love language. Me too. Is to shit on people. Yeah. I had one go horribly wrong two days ago. Whom? Whom? So, uh, uh, oh, it might be someone you're, oh, you're aware of because you go on the lebitard show sometimes. I love Dan. He's mad at me right now, though.

I mean, he's always mad at me. He's always mad for some reason. He has a guy on the show named David Sampson, who used to run the Marlins, and David's been very kind to me, and I'm on the show. I'm doing a thing, and I shit on his shirt. He's got a shirt that's got cherries on it. Got it. And I'm like, I'm going to shit on your shirt because he got a shirt with cherries on it.

And then we get down the segment, and he goes, you know, I'm wearing the shirt because my daughter who is going through cancer what does that do with cherries her nickname is Cherry oh god Chloe Cherry

the adult film star is his daughter Chloe Cherry and I have never felt worse yeah but dude come on how do you know he should be wearing another a shirt and an ascot that says this shirt is for cancer

you should have to flag that you know what I mean people people need to know they're not stepping into the fire Yeah, but that's our level You and I have known each other for a long time We always goof with each other That's part of the fun That's part of the fun

If you didn't know That we knew each other And you saw us walk into the comedy store Grinium together You would be like Oh shit This is Hatfield and McCoys These guys fucking hate each other

Yeah, is this a comedy duo What's going on? Like, yeah Like if Stattler and Wardorf were really different sizes but then also fought each other physically. Yeah, that'd be great. That is our relationship.

That's great. This is what we want. And I love that. And that is one of the main difference I've noticed between, and I hate using this word, but I'm going to, between comedians and civilians, like non-comedians,

is that comedians look at the joke as just the joke. Is the joke good? Is that a phonetically good joke? Was there a turn? Was there a surprise? is it a good joke? Civilians will go, well, how do I feel

about the joke? What did you mean? What did you mean by that? Well, it's like, no, I don't just, it's at surface level. Yes, exactly. I think if you dig too deep into things, you start to get really bothered. You can do that about literally anything. Yeah. Just let it go, man. Just look at the joke and be like, oh, fuck, that was a good joke. That was a good joke. Yeah.

Like, every time, every time I do a roast battle and someone has to roast me, they always, of course they do dwarf stuff, but sometimes they do like he only has one note like he only talks about being a dwarf and something like so does that like really hurt I go no it's good

it's me it's funny yeah what the fuck that's you yes it's also not only is your calling card it's kind of become I don't there okay is there another dwarf comic there is there's a couple there's uh do I know them

Nick Nevicki oh I know Nick what am I saying yeah I know Nick who opens up for Nate Bargotsie yeah So, you know, Nick's a billionaire now. Billionaire with a B. He's a billionaire because he opens up for Nate. And he's got one of those Scrooge McDuck money vaults he's got, I've heard. He swims in it, but he's drowned almost three or four times.

He has a hook. It's hard for him to get back up. It really is. Tiny arms, small than mine. See, I'm fucking with a dwarf for having smaller arms than me. They are smaller than yours. They are. Although you don't have small arms when it comes to pay in the check.

I will say Brad doesn't have T-Rex arms when it comes. He'll pick up a check, which I do appreciate because I, it is right there in my pocket. Whenever a check comes to our table and you and I are out together, I'm always like, don't have little T-Rex arms now, pal. To be fair, shorter distance between my hand and my pocket, then your arm and your pocket. That's true. This is a lot harder to get there.

I don't even know how you walk around with those things. It's annoying. I'm like, I'm right. You're right there, dude. I almost went into Sebastian right there. I just get the check right there. Get in there. How do you feel about credit card roulette?

Do you ever play this game with friends where everyone's at the table and you go, okay, we'll throw in and whosoever credit card gets pulled by the server, they have to pay. I've never done it. Not because I'm not scared to get it. I'm literally scared for other people to get it. Yeah, see, I hate it.

Some friends, like, I have buddies from college. Yeah. My buddy, Colin, loves it. And every time I'm like, Colin, this is not fair because some people at the table are making more money than other people. And he bullies people into doing it. I love it because it's funny that he's like,

we got, come on, dude. We got to do it. Well, if it's around to drinks or whatever, if we're just having like a cocktail, fine. But if it's like a full meal and stuff? Oh, dude, I get so nervous. That's going to be over like $1,500? It's crazy. It's insane.

It's like five people. Please don't do this to somebody. Don't do it. But I will say every time I've done it with him, never been picked. You? Knock on wood. I've never been picked. My card's never been pulled.

Oh. My time is due. It's up. It's going to come. I'm going to get pulled for the highest meal ever. Okay. So I'm going to say something because my- Don't jinx me.

I know you people jinx people all the time. Don't do that. Ah, no! He'll curse me. You're cursed. I just turn into a creature. I will say this is my wife and I both love to treat people. We like to pay for meals.

You're a generous cat. Here is my only problem. Sometimes I've been out with the large group and the wife will go to the waitress and slip the credit card. and before the check comes. Your wife does that. Yes, which is totally fine. Yeah. But then when it gets announced that we've covered the bill,

the people thank my wife. I have a pet peeve with that. I think they're probably thanking her for putting up with your bullshit. They're probably like, thank you for fucking Brad. Someone's got to do it. So thank you. And because you're fucking him, we got a free dinner. Exactly.

So thank you. So this is the balance of the world. Yeah. She puts up with your bullshit. It's it. You know what's so funny, though, the pay the check thing. Yeah. I've done that. Like, you know, especially with my parents, I like to try to take care of my parents because they took care of us our whole life. That feels really great to do that. And sometimes he, like, fights me on it. My dad will be like, you already got enough, like stop doing it, you know?

But they're retired and they're not making money anymore. So I'm like, no, just let me. We were in Arizona. We went out to dinner. And my sister gave me an edible. And we had already had a full day. And so I took the edible and I got to dinner. And I was like sneaking away to go pay the check. You know, I was like, to do the thing, to drop the card. It's a good move. And I'm, I can't get it out.

Like, I'm like, I'm so dumb that I was like, hey, can I want to, can I do the, I want to give you the, so I could do you, if you don't be quiet about it. And I couldn't, like, formulate a sentence because I was ripped out of my mind. Like, it just kicked in. And the server was like, are you all right? What do you mean? And I was like, just the bill so I can put on the bill. I could give you my card. And he was like, oh, you want to, oh, yeah, yeah.

And I handed my credit card. as I walked back to the table, I was like, I'm too high for dinner. Like, I'm tough too high. Even for a dinner. I was like, my God. The waves of edibles now, dude, they're way too strong. You've got to be careful. They're way too strong.

And this wasn't even a heavy one. Maybe it was like 15 or something like that. It wasn't that crazy. I've taken the edibles, like back when I was doing clubs, I would take edibles from an audience member. Oh, yeah, I do that all the time. Auditors owner would be nice enough to bake me a brownie, a cookie, something. What's in it? Well done.

How deep am I going to go? I'm done. But now, no, I can't. I've done those nights. I remember one night I took a joint from a guy that was in Edmonton and it was snowing and I sat in my hotel in Edmonton having a panic attack because I was way too high. That was I shouldn't have done it, dude. Should not have done that. That happened to me in Miami.

And I was up, it was a very high hotel room. And so much so, like, the wind was like whistling. Oh, you hear it to the... Bro. freaking out. Freak it out. I was terrified. But a lot of people don't know this.

If Brad jumps off that balcony, he will float a little bit lighter than we do. Yeah, yeah. He's able to spread out and kind of like those squirrel suits. You can kind of float. Galileo was wrong. Yeah, dude. All that feather bowling bullshit. Been saying it for years.

That's Sebastian again. God. I can't do some. It's so much fun. I almost hate that the brilliant comic on SNL that's now doing Sebastian. Marcello, right? Yeah. He's so good at it. Hey, he's the man.

But I hate the fact that the Sebastian impression is becoming more popular. Well, because we did it first. We've been doing it for years. We all comics did Sebastian. I know. Because it's so fun. It's so easy. Yeah.

You could do, like, Sebastian's character is so defined. Yeah. That it's just like, you can come like, you put the whiskey with ice. With ice? With ice. Why would you do that? Like, it's so much fun. To give him a little shout-up, by the way.

I just saw him running a half hour at the store. I think he's doing chunks to work out a new hour. Bueno. He's back at it again. And also, easy parlay, before we get distracted, because you and I are bad boys, we'll just talk for hours about nothing. Please go watch right now.

Take a time to open up a new tab. Apple T. Put the tab up on YouTube and go watch Brad's brand new special that's available right now on his channel. Yep. On my YouTube channel, it's called Live on Short. Street. Why did we title it that? Why? Do you want to know? It was actually shot on Short Street at the theater on Short Street. It was. Lexton, Kentucky. Yeah. And shot on Short

Street. I'm like, I had another title and then once I found out the theater was on Short Street. I'm like, what are we supposed to do? How do we not? Come on. The comedy guys are like, Brad, don't miss this one, pal. If you ever shot a special on Little Dick Ginger Avenue. How could you not title it that? Would it be Avenue or course? The court. The court of gingers. Yeah, the little dick courts of gingers. Oh, he's over there in little dick court.

Like, you'd have to title it. I have to. Well, actually, my dad, for years, my dad would mock me. He's my stepdad who raised me, and he would always be like, I'll beat you like a red-headed stepchild, which is a common phrase. And I am a red-headed stepchild. And my dad was like, you should call one of your comedy specials red-headed stepchild. I should. I mean, it works.

Red-haired step-child. It's real. It's a good idea. By the way, that's a common phrase. You know that. Beat you like a red-headed stepchild is like a thing where societally everybody's like, that's funny. If I said kick you like a little person. I'd be frightened.

You'd be scared. Yeah. But people say beat me like a red-headed stepchild. I'm like, that's layers of paint. Like I have two opening acts. J.B. Ball, Quincy Weekly. They're great openers. And they're both African-American.

They're both black guys. They're both... Brad. Nice. New comics? Very nice. Very nice guys. Very nice. Was that triggering? Anyway. It was for me. And like if someone came up and said, hang you like a, you know what I mean?

Like that's horrible. That'd be the worst thing ever. But why do we just do like, yeah, oh yeah, because a redhead, that's an acceptable. But you know what? He'll tell you the etymology right now. What is it? It's associated with 19th century anti-Irish movements in the U.S. Oh, so it's anti-Irish. Well, here's the other idea idea behind it. And anti-stepchild. It's because most people would assume, look at that redhead, I bet you his family abandon him.

Someone had to adopt him, take him in, protect him. Some nice couple that's really trying to get good with God. Correct. Was like, you want to know how we get to heaven? We adopt a ginger. A ginger. It's either Asian kids, Down syndrome, or Redhead. You adopt those and you get a free pass to heaven.

Thousand percent. That's a TSA pre-check into heaven. Yeah. An Asian, a Down syndrome, or a Redhead. The line to get into heaven or just to have the other line. Did you adopt Ginger Down syndrome, Asia?

I like cinders. By the way, your daughter, who is also a dwarf, the best thing people don't know about Brett at night, they don't sleep in beds like matrushka dolls, they stack within each other.

So if you open up Brad, his daughter's inside of him right now. Yeah, I'm keeping her warm. It's fine. It's like a little marsupial. Yeah, like a little papoose. Yeah, yeah, it's there. The first time I saw that in Australia, when I saw the kangaroo hole in a pouch, was the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's amazing.

I was like, how is not other, how of other species not also developed that way? Can you imagine if we just had rhinos holding rhinos? Amazing. It would just be like, little baby rhinos. Little baby rhino pops up. And then, of course, I think of the scene in Ace Ventura when he comes out of the rhino's ass. They just sold that rhino. Jim Ursay owned it, right?

Or no, who owned it? Somebody. We talked about this. Somebody owned that. Yes. And now it was for sale. How much do you think it's sold for? Oh, my God.

Let's guess. Because I did remember seeing this. I don't know how much it sold for. I think like, yeah. God, my allergies are killing my eyes. I would say, I would say someone paid at least, let's say $125,000 for that. Yeah, it's a real movie prop. It's a big.

It's a real thing. I would say, I'm going to go $1, Bob. I'm going to go under that just for fun. What is it? What's the total number that was sold for? We'll find out from the archives. Side note, speaking of which, similar article line I was reading when I saw that, Banksy got revealed apparently

I don't fucking annoyed I don't want to know I don't want Banksy to I don't want him to have a mortgage Yeah why did they do that person Why did they fucking do that That really like bothered me And they put up photos of him and I was like The whole

This is the problem with This is the problem with America today I tell you what let's get into it Let's get into it Let's get into it But it used to be the fantasy was beautiful Yeah And like just let that live and die on its own

It's the whole Batman monologue Where he's like But as a symbol I can mean something something so much more. That's right, dude. Yeah. Banksy got to become this thing, then they oversold his art, they sold him out, and then

the hunt to find who Banksie was killed me. Like the Mr. What's it called? Mr. Brainwash or whatever? Remember that documentary about Mr. Brainwash? Do you not know who this is? No. Who they masqueraded for a while as maybe perhaps being a Banksy because he worked with him. And they were like, maybe this is the guy.

He got very famous. There was a documentary about him. Oh, I want him to be an idea. Now, Bank. Exit through the gift shop. Exit to the gift shop. That one, yeah. But I mean, this became this great prank.

I think Banksy also played on America was like teasing people with the idea that brainwash could have been him perhaps. Yeah. But it was great because he was a he was a figment of our imagination. He was an idea. Then when I saw a photo of him, I go, fuck, that's Banksy? He's just an accountant. I don't like it. He looks like an accountant.

Yeah, he looks like he pays parking meters. You know, like with coins where you're like that? I don't want that guy to be Banksy. Like that, I don't like that. I don't like that. I want Banksy to be an illusion. I want Banksy to be the V for Vincent's. indebta guy. Yes. Just the mask. The mask. And just be like, remember, remember.

But, like, that's all I wanted to know. Now, I don't want to, because now, Banksie looks like a guy where you're driving on a Sunday. He's like, yeah, that's Banksy, moaned his front yard. Oh, that's Banksy. Yeah, he comes into the Ralph's by my house. Like, a fucking nightmare. All right, tell me what it is. How much did that Ryan himself for? So it's still on. Oh, it's on the auction still. Oh, we have a shot for a couple more weeks.

How much is it bidding for at this point? Yeah. It says it's estimated value is four to eight thousand. It started at 2000. $4,000. Can we buy that? Can we buy this? It was at Planet Hollywood

before it now. That was the previous owner. Dude, why do I think this was worth so much more money? It was like such an iconic moment in maybe it's just because of our age that we're like that. It's right there.

Remembering him coming out of that ass was so powerful. That's so good. It's currently at $20,000. 20 grand. It will go up to probably 50 or 60. So the under will win. We could throw in

we could throw in a bag. We could throw in a bag. You want a buy a rhino because Jim Carrey came out of its ass yes I do I do actually

do you have any you like collectible stuff do you have something at your house that you have a lot of pride in like that yeah I have a I have a all USC

Heisman trophy winners have signed including OJ holy shit I have an OJ is it a ball or a poster it's a poster wow but I got to get your boy

Caleb. Oh yeah you do. Because Caleb won and now I don't have his yet so I got to get Caleb to add to it. He's your next, he's the next to Phil. Yes. Dude that's really cool. And you framed it, right? You put it. It's framed down in the house. Yeah, it's framed. It has photos of all of them by the signatures. That's my like piece de resistance. Yeah, well you're because you're a diehard Trojan. Yeah. Something about people that go USC. They really, really love that. They really are into it. We like doing. We like doing this. UCLA isn't really as much into it. No, there's a reason. Oh, okay. All right. Taking shots, dude. No, but for some reason, UCLA feels like they were busy developing rockets.

Yeah, and like advancing medical. Right. They're doing all the things we need. Yeah, and we're like, we have Will Ferrell and John Wayne. Do you guys have John Wayne? Do you guys have a guy who's the whitest guy ever who played Genghis Khan in a movie? Pilgrim, dude, great pilgrim. He was so funny.

We got to go fight the Mongols. Like everyone on that movie got cancer. Everybody on what movie got cancer? Ace Ventura? No, on The Conqueror. Oh, oh, got cancer when he played Genghis Cohen? Because they... Genghis Cohen.

Yeah, Genghis Cohen, my favorite Chinese restaurant on Fairfax? Because they were shooting in Nevada where they were doing nuclear testing. Oh, right. It's like one of the biggest, like, most controversial cases of a bunch of people dying. Like, they tried to destroy prints of the movie, and it almost didn't exist. Like more than the San Francisco 49ers next to that power plant, all going down? Have you heard this theory?

Have I heard this theory? I know all about it This has been the topic of conversation For quite a long time What do they call them? EMF waves or whatever it's called Some power plant No no it's right next door to their practice facilities

Yeah and then they're bust and all their ACLs I Not just that it's a lot of weird injuries too Yeah And they're doing cancer tracing now to say Do the coaches are coaches You know like are the coaches Getting weird illnesses

Like there's a lot of internet fodder To support this Don't Now I don't know if anything true. Well, look, okay, how about this? How could you validate that? The Rams play here in L.A. This is cancer heaven. I mean, like, you fly into L.A. You're like, this is a cancer city. Yeah. Like, it's a layer of smog. There are nothing but phone wire. The amount of electrical wiring that runs through this town above us, it's comical. You can't go out anywhere without

seeing huge, you know, electrical wires running through L.A. I live right next to a Chevron plant. You do? Oh, that's right. Right next to a Chevron plant. Well, maybe to help you grow. Yeah. I'm I mean, if I ever show up, six foot two. Like Brad? Yeah. Son. What happened? Why are you looking at me weird?

Well, you're like six feet now. Ah, you know, it took some multivitamins. Went to G&C. Your wife is as tall as Wendy? Like, oh my God, dude. Walking around like that. It's insane. I'm sure there's validity to it, but there's a lot of internet conspiratorial rumors over, like, whether or not this is real.

This one's a lot more specific. The Conquer came out in 56, and they were doing it. nuclear tests right nearby in 1953. Oh my God. Three years after they started filming. Out of the 220 crew members, 91 developed cancer by 1980 with 46 and dying of it. Wow.

Okay. By the way, this is when the studio's owned actors, so you couldn't sue anyway. Nobody could say anything. You had a, you were like under contract. I got to tell you what, sweet heart. So you got cancer? Big deal.

Everyone's getting cancer. Everyone's getting cancer. It's a new trendy thing. You want to accuse cancer, those. It's a lucky strike cigarettes. You got to smoke them. Get them now at your local 76. It was a Howard Hughes. He produced it and he tried. He paid $12 million to destroy almost every print of the movie in existence.

Wow. So it almost ceased to exist. But they still got to put it out. But they got to make their money, baby. We found it just to hear John Wayne talk like this. You know, we got to go across the Asian land. What a great accent that guy had. Well, that was when Hollywood was interesting and weird and now it's just weird and not interesting. Yeah, it's just weird. No, it's just not even fun. There's too much.

It's just long after the Oscars have come out because we're filming this early, but never been so uninterested in stuff as I am now to the business, stuff like that. Like, I just don't care as much as I thought I used to like it a little bit. And the good part for guys like you and me is that we'll never go. Yeah. Well, then we don't belong. We don't belong. But we're doing just fine.

Yeah, life is good. Outside of all of that. Yeah, we don't like it. Like, you know, it used to be you had to go down. certain path to get to have your to get on the tonight show or to get a special on either HBO or Comedy Central those were your only homes that you can go now you know you could go on various streaming platforms if a platform like Hulu pays let's just say a random comic not saying anyone specific but if they pay them like 10, 12 million dollars like they did their special go up there saw your car out there very nice car First of all, they paid me $100 million. Oh, she's okay. You know, but like in...

No, they didn't. And, you know, you could put it up on your own YouTube channel like I'm doing with my special. Yeah, it's great. And if people like it, they'll find it. It's not like people can just say, no, it has to be on this platform or this platform. Right, it used to be Coke or Pepsi. Now, R.C. Cola has entered the conversation. God bless R.C. Cola.

Jolts in there a little bit, you know what I mean? Dr. Pepper, I would say if Netflix is Coke, and HBO is Pepsi. Yeah. I would say Hulu, Amazon, Hulu and Amazon are like cola, you know, when it's just... R.C. When it's just titled Cola. Yeah.

Orange soda. Yeah. And YouTube, on the other hand, YouTube is Dr. Pepper because it is phenomenal. And it's kind of like a nice little secret. It's all the flavors. It's so good. It's so much fun. And there's so many comics that have their specials on there.

And so there's no right way to do it. No, not anymore. Yeah. There's no one path where it's like, what? You're not going to wait until this streaming platform gives you money? No, just put it up yourself. Put it up yourself. I mean, I love that you're doing that.

And you've touched all the bases already. You put specials out all over the place. So why not do YouTube now? Why not? And have my own little channel. Sebastian. It's so much fun to do. By the way, it should be called my own little channel.

Brad's little channel. little channel. Yeah, put my special on there, put my podcast, I got a podcast called A Height and Babel, where it's me and J.B. Ball. Yeah. And we just find weird stories on the internet. Just go deep.

And we freaking talk about them. It's like hanging out with us at a waffle house at 2 a.m. Why did you say Waffle House? Because I love Waffle House. Do you really? I love Waffle House. Last time I went, me and J.R. Smith went to a Waffle House

and got sick as a dog. Wait, the J.R. Smith? the freaking going the wrong way J.R. Smith? Watch your mouth man. Watch how you talk about my boy, dude. He's never gone the wrong way. He goes his way. And that's the right way. His way becomes the right way. He's the man, dude. Hey, incredible golfer, by the way.

We were together at Augusta. We were going to watch Augusta together. And we went out the night before and got food after. There was like a little party. And the food was, you know, when you go to one of these fucking huge parties and there's no food. And there was like, oh, do you want, it was like little tiny bullshit. And he's an adult male. He's a six foot eight or whatever he is. He's a big boy and he was like, yo, we gotta eat.

I was like, let's go anywhere else and the only thing open was Waffle House. So we went to Waffle House. But I got a little I got a little rumbly, tumbling, gumbly. You know, because the red-headed stepchildren weak stomachs. Weeks, weak people.

Week people. Week people. Week people. The sun which nourishes everyone else takes your people out. It's killing me every day. I'm wearing sunscreen inside. I say that all the time. I'm wearing it right now.

I have to. This hat is not for fashion. It's for function. These lights are brighter than people think. I'm getting a little bit of UV right now. And I love Waffle House. Because every time we go to Waffle House, you get a meal and you will have a story. And you're paying $6.

Yeah. Yeah, you get waffles, eggs, sausage, a coffee, an orange juice. You get whatever. $6.5.50, something like that. My favorite part about the Waffle House menu is that they hand it to you. And their main thing that you get is called the All-Star Special. That's right. I'll tell you exactly what's on it.

It's a waffle, it's eggs, it's bacon or sausage, it's grits or hash browns. All-Star Special. All-Star Special. It has the price, but then the price is crossed off, and they're like, we're giving it to you for two bucks less. It's like $14, $14.40s crossed off. Now it's $12. That's great. But the menu's laminated.

Right. Don't tell anybody the secrets of Waffle House, man. Walthouse Corporates panicking right now. How do they find out? Wait, blow dart the dwarf. Someone blow dart the dwarf. Your next special, by the way, blow dart the dwarf. Somebody blow dart the dwarf.

Yeah, don't. McCone, he's got a blow dart here on the studio. Nobody can see it. He loves the blow part more than the dart part. But yeah, have you ever seen a conflict? At a waffle house? Go down in a waffle house. It makes one of my favorite YouTube hunts is when I start to find fights at a waffle house.

I do love that. I haven't seen it live. All right. So I haven't seen an actual fight. I saw a cook moving very slow, and right out in front of everybody, take out a substance. I'm not sure what it was. A little fenty cook, little fenty cook. You know, and let's just say everyone got their shit real quick after that.

Oh, meth cook. He started moving. Wuffle, wuffle, wuffle, eggs, two eggs, four, eggs, eggs. By the way, cocaine is very pervasive in kitchens because they need to be up and moving all. the time? All the time. Like a Waffle House? You got to be making eggs with the same fervor at 3 o'clock in the morning that you were at 8 a.m. Yeah. It's true. 24 hours shift. That is true.

So, yeah, that was a good time. But my favorite time ever at Waffle House is it was me, J.B., Quincy, a few other guys from our crew. And then there's a lot of people in the Waffle House. And there's a, there's a touch tunes. Love a touch Tunes. I got money on it right now. Love a touchdust. I got money. I got $30 on the app right now. And I don't know how it happened.

But everyone kind of got plugged in, and it was a challenge where you had to, all right, you've got the touch tunes. What do you got? Ooh. And then the whole Waffle House would judge you based on the song. What did you pick? What's your number one go-to on the touch tunes? Candy Girl. Candy Girl, that's your number one, dude.

Wow. Gotta go Candy Girl. I looked around at the clientele. And you thought. And I thought, you know what? This is not a Kings of Leon crowd. No, probably not a Wal-Vos or three in the morning. No.

So I went with Candy Girl and the place went nuts, but there was other people that chose different songs. Like who? J-B? No, J-B was great, but everyone, like there was one table. What the fuck did they choose? Oh, they chose Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night.

Three Dog Night. A little Jeremiah was a bullfrog. I heard he's a good friend of mine. But the Waffle House did not approve. It's not like it. It's not a song I would want to get down to. It's not really like a waffle and egg song. It's not a 3 a.m. No.

So, yeah. By the way, I need to check right now because you made me think, I want to see how much Tutsune's money I do have. Because last time, because you know you refill. Yeah. And sometimes you're, especially if you're hammered, you'll just refill and be like $20. And then you'll go, someone will grab your,

phone, pick a bunch of shit, and then you're like, well, I've got to refill again. Yeah. So this, you can pop in the snug here. They'll do like eight songs. What do you, how much do you have on there? Are you looking right now? How much do you have? I have 55 credits.

$55? No. Or credits, yeah. Credits. How much is that? How much is it? 65 credits for $30. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Because I only 24 credits left. You got like 25 bucks on there. Yeah. Okay. That's reasonable. That's reasonable.

Because I got the deal. Oh, there's... The 65 for 30. Well, because they give you the discount deal. Yeah. Yeah, they give you the discount deal. You get 15 free credits. That's right.

So, I... I'm shocked you didn't play the Lollipop Guild because that's one of your favorites. I was tempted. You got up on the counter. You don't think. And what we represent, I would lose my shit, dude. The place would go nuts.

Eggs for everybody. Play a little Bushwick Bill. Yeah, dude. One of my people. Love Bushwick. My eyes playing tricks on me. Oh, I do it. Getting shot in the head.

shot in the head, a dwarf, shot in the head, lost an eye. Shown in the eye. Lived? Yeah. Then ended up taking his own life anyway. Yeah. That's insane. If you get shot in the head and you live, dude, you gotta see the whole thing through.

Yeah, God just looked and you and went, not yet. Not yet, dude. It was harder for him to see the whole thing through. Oh. Hard for him to see the whole thing through. He only saw half of his life. Mm. His life flashed in front of his eye.

By the way, we talk about our heaven thing, Bushwick Bill got up to the heaven. in line and they were like, brother, let this guy in a media. Yeah. Black, and he's blind? Dwarf, one eye missing? Holy crap, bro. You had a life. Yeah, you're still in line. He's like, Brad, you have to wait. You got to wait. A lot of little people in line, dude. Bushwick, going right to the

front. Verne Troier's still in that line. He's still waiting. He's still waiting. All those years. I've heard he was a big powerhouse drink, dude. I heard he was could drink. Because you can drink. You and I've spent many a nights getting hand-boned, and you can keep up. But I've heard that

Vern was like a, you could Google this. I've heard he's had Tales of Hollywood where he was like out drinking everybody at the table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vern was a drinker. We discussed this at several meetings. Yeah, you did. Well, it's just like the redhead of meetings. We talk about Teratop and Kathy Griffin all the time. Of course, we all get together.

By the way, shout out to the guy that no longer attends the meetings, Dinklage. Oh, he's better than you guys now, huh? Way better. You know, that's why he stopped the dwarves from a. appearing in the Disney's No White movie. That was him. He shut that down. That's right. Yep. Shut that down. The Mark Barron podcast. Some guys want to take all the shine.

All of it. And then here is poetic justice. I don't know if you saw the Razzie Awards. I did not. I usually try to catch them every year. This year, I believe worst special effects was the CGI dwarves from that Disney movie. worst acting by an ensemble. Wow. The dwarves.

In your face, Dinklage. In your fucking face. Checkmate Dinklage. So you have beef with Dinklage. Oh, yeah. I got strong beef with Dinklidge. Could you imagine in a street fight with Dink? Oh, I'm taking them out.

You think you'd take him down? I'm taking out Dink. I wrestled in high school, buddy. Yeah, you did. Would you wrestle at? 45? They dropped the one. Kilos?

I don't know. What is that? What did you wrestle out in high school? 103s. Light as a feather, dude. It was great, because I'm built pretty much how I'm built now, a little thinner, and then whenever a kid would be in the 103s, he'd be in, like, he'd be a noodle. Right, skinny, skinny, skinny.

He'd just be coming in, he would see me like, oh, this is going to go well. What was your record? You were nasty. That was nasty. You know, Bobby was nasty. You know, I don't know, we talk about this sometimes. People joke around. People like, Bobby's out athletic. Bobby was nasty in high school wrestling.

Oh, was Bobby and his brother? Well, his brother actually was, I think. his brother was even better. Wow, okay. You should wrestle him, dude. Because I know he talked, that's about me on one of his podcasts. Not bad friends. Not bad. On Tiger.

Yeah, on Tiger, where he said that he could beat me in a wrestling match. And I instinctively just said, of course you cannot. But then, you tell me wrestling in high school. So he's got... He does have it in there. But again, he's also 54 years old. He is. But he's an Asian 54.

Let's talk groceries. Specifically, your groceries. with Instacart, you want your groceries just the way you like them, right? Well, the Instacart app lets you do just that. They have a new preference picker that lets you pick how ripe or unripe you want your bananas. Shoppers can see your preferences up front, helping guide their choices. Instacart, get groceries just how you like. It's never too early to plan your summer story in Europe with WestJet,

from rolling countryside to cobblestone streets. Begin your next chapter. Book your seat at WestJet.com. or call your travel agent, WestJet, where your story takes off. Yeah, well, Agent 54 can mean one of two things. He can either mean he's 106 on the inside and looks 54. You know what I mean? Like, that's a loose...

Or you got that like, oh, oh, he's Jet Lee 54, where he's like, oh, no, he's 27. Right. Like, so it just depends. We really never know. You know what? I think me and Bobby should open up for one of those Jake Paul fights. Yeah, you could.

He knows Jake Paul, right? He did his podcast or whatever. Did he actually? Yeah, he did. I think he went down to like Dominican Republic or wherever they live. No, it was Florida. Florida? Florida.

I thought they lived somewhere else. Don't they live like in Cuba or the DR or something? Well, they went down for the Super Bowl party. Oh, that's right. It was for the Super Bowl. That's right. Okay. So there we go.

Inside Lane, we can make this happen. Brad versus Bobby. We'll call it the fight of the killer bees. Love this already. It'll be only Wu-Tang playing the whole time. The whole time. Dude, I would love that, dude. Wouldn't that be nice?

That would be so much fun. This is the kind of stuff that people really want to see. Yes. Nobody needs another season of whatever TV show they're pumping out now. No, whatever weird reality show. I literally couldn't think of a TV show they're pumping out. I don't even know TV anymore. Yeah, it's the name a TV show.

You're like, well, I know they're bringing back scrubs. They're bringing back Malcolm in the middle. They're bringing back all these old school shows. Oh, you mean good, well-written shows? But they're bringing them back, though. It's like, let that lay it rest. Let it rest. Malcolm in the middle is weird for me, though.

Like, Cranston? You don't need that. You got, oh, yeah. You don't need that, Grant Stee. They also didn't have the balls to make Malcolm the president, like they said they would in the finale. Didn't do it, huh? Pushed out. Pust out.

Yeah. So great. Now. It's a great finale. Yeah, but, yeah, they're bringing that back. Yeah, I just think they're bringing back all the things that I'm like, come on, man, make something funny and weird and new. Although other people are. There's other, there is shows that are getting sort of some traction, but none of them are traditional comedy or sitcom.

Yeah. Comedy's dead, dog. Because it's living here. It's right here, and it's on YouTube right now. Please go watch Live from Short Street. Right now on YouTube. What if Brad and Bobby wrestled on our YouTube theater show? I actually think that could be a good thing.

What do you mean for the Netflix is a joke fast? The Netflix is a joke, Bad Friends Live. Maybe that's a little hint. Maybe we're dropping little baby hints. I like it. Now, are we doing those comically large gloves? Are we doing those little dome balls where we could get, like, punted into the audience? and survive.

Yes. It'll be like McDonald's Playplace. That'll be those multicolored softball. The crowd is throwing them around like a balloon. Are you doing Netflix as a joke, anything? Are you doing anything for the fest? I am not because I'm doing my own show in November, I think. In Los Angeles, I'm doing the Wiltern.

You're playing the Wiltern. Yeah. What a venue, dude. So I'm really excited about that. Have you played the Wiltern before? I've only gone there. I saw Tenacious D there. It's crazy.

And now I'm playing the Wiltern. It's crazy to kind of have some of your youthful formative years come up in Los Angeles and then like that be the... Yeah, well, because I know you had that moment. We talked about it where you played the Chicago Theater. Yeah. And that's like we've both played that. You have sold more tickets than me. But yeah, it's...

It's amazing. You just walk in there and you're like, I shouldn't be here. I saw Phantom of the Opera there. And then I'm up there telling poop fart crap jokes. And I'm like, this is crazy that this is our reality. I thought about that when I played the... the Riemann Auditorium. So stunning.

Nashville where you're like, Johnny Cash has been on this stage. He's got a room upstairs. The room, we sat in that room. It was so powerful. When you do see some of the lists of the names, like, it does do something to you mentally. You're like, man, this is kind of cool

to think, like, I'm gracing the stage of other people that I respected. Yeah. And they don't respect me. No. But that's fine. That's fine, dude. Because if you play the Chicago Theater,

everyone signs the backstage, and they have, like, laminated, sectioned off. Like, no one could fuck this up. They have Frank Sinatra's. McCartney's up there. Yeah, they've got a couple that are nobody can touch. And you're just sitting there like, I'm playing the same.

That's crazy. And you would just imagine Frank looking at art stuff and going, the fuck are they doing down there? Who's that little guy? Who the fuck is that? The red-headed guy. Sick, gross. Take them out.

They let them tell jokes now. What's up with the midget? They let them out of the zoo. Who's is this? Somebody take this home with him. Someone put a beard on a kid. Sinatra would hate me. Sadatra would hate all of us.

Well, he actually did have an affinity for stand-ups. You know that. Tom Driesen, a buddy, family friend, who we love. Driesen opened for him for years and years, dude. Rickles? Yeah. I mean, he loved stand-ups. They love stand-ups. So I think they would have enjoyed us, but we weren't their style of humor.

Yeah, I loved him and I loved Robin. And I got to meet Robin. Robin, I was on stage at this little theater, just north of San Francisco and Mill Valley.

You're talking about Robin Wright-Pen for people that are curious. Yes, love Robin Wright Penn, Princess Pride. Love Wesley. As you wish. And I'm doing the Throck Morton Theater. and I didn't know this, but Robin was there. He was in the audience? Not like sitting, but like...

Just hanging out. In the back, and he saw my set. I'm really glad I didn't know that he was there because I would have fucked you up. Would have freaked out. And I'd go back to the green room, and I've never met him before. He burst in the green room.

And I'm like, oh, what the fuck? It's the fucking... It's Miss Dowfire. Hello! Like, you're just coming at me. And he walks right up to me and goes, oh my God, Mr. Williams. You're like Prozac with a head.

Oh, my God. God, what the line. Prozac with a head. Prozac with a head. That's so good. That'll be another special. We're tiling my next three specials. Yeah, we got them all lined up. But yeah. He was the man. Yeah, there's, and then he we talked for a bit, and then he invited

me to his show the next day. Same theater, is it? He was there. Same theater. That was his workout room. So he's doing a show there, and he's like, yeah, I'll leave a couple tickets for you. And we walk into the theater, me and my opening act, comic named Jeff Keith

and we see two reserve signs in the very front row and this theater holds like 150 people it's a small theater and we're walking in like this is Mill Valley California there's a lot of money in this room to see Robin in a small theater and we know that when people see reserved front row they're like

is Spielberg showing up I just walked out They see me, they're like, ah, you gave it to a make-a-wish kid. That's nice. When are you dying, young man? No, no, I'm an adult male, sure. Yes, you, in your head you can be anything you want to be. You betch, and I definitely looked apart because that was before I had the beard, too.

Oh, when you're clean-shaven, it's a different world. Oh, I'm, I look like. I hate it. Sort of my wife. That's why I have the beard. Dude, me too. If I don't have this, it's a face that people are. like, good Christ.

Well, what are you doing? Put a bag over it. Yeah. No, I gotta keep this beard on. This is God's camouflage. Yeah, it really confuses the other kids at the school when I drop my daughter off. Because I'm like walking up and then I say- That guy's always skipping school.

He's such a cool kid. How did he get a car? He stole a car. I'm just dropping my daughter off. Sometimes. Holy shit. My daughter has this like really. you know she's sick she has a girl she has a girly backpack she has a hard time

getting it upstairs it's one of those rolly backpacks the rolly one so I pick it up but then sometimes I just you know I keep carrying it up to the front of the school until she goes in every time I walk with that backpack there's all there's always a kid that's like looking at me like wait so up with the new guy what in that backpack yeah yeah it is 2026 dude hey you know uh don't ask me my pronouns don't ask me pronouns. Oh, I got it's very, it's very, your pronouns are down here. Hello. Hello.

That's got to be amazing though. Six, six, six is rad. Six is like a school. Six is an age where you're like still fantasy. There's still, she still probably has all that whimsy of the world. Like she's not diluted with no negativity and bullshit. And we live in a, you know, a nice neighborhood with the kids, the kids are all good. She's not, you know, She's not being bullied. She's got a bunch of friends. Have you approached this yet? Has this happened?

She comes to you and says somebody's bullying me? Oh, there was one kid. Because we want people to cry at some point in the pod. There was one kid. One son of a bitch. Let me tell you about this kid. There was one kid. Call him out by full name.

We'll put a social up. Dude. She got home from school and we're like, how was school today? And she goes, it was good. Oh, no. Until the kid. name pushed me down and I'm like pushed you down

put like through her down pushed you down her hold on wahapa lahapa and then uh you know because you know this but for the listeners my wife is a martial arts instructor yeah she yeah so she's she would kill most people we know she is a weapon

yeah yeah and she and she's like all right and she and she immediately gets on the phone she's like who's who's gonna die in the next 24 hours and Tarantino's like, I have to make this movie. But yeah, we had to have a meeting with the kid and the parents. Thankfully, the parents were really cool. Like, they were horrified.

Yeah, we're like, we're sorry. What was the kid's reasoning? Was he just, was he being a dick? Just flirting? What, it might have been. A lot of times it's like push you down, punch you, hurt you little kids because they like each other. Yeah. It's a weird thing.

You know, because you ask a kid, you ask a five-year-old, why do you? you do that? They just kind of go, I don't know. They don't know. They're like, I had, I saw something I could push over. Valid reasoning. I can't push over that kid. What? You want to push over the big kid? But the kid was, it was the kid at least remorseful of them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it, it's fine. That's the only, that's the only event that happened. But for the most part, yeah, it's great. And six, she's like, dude, you take her to a zoo and a,

You take her to a zoo. I'm not taking her to a zoo. No, you take her. No, you take her to a zoo. Give me an afternoon off. All right, fine. I'm trying to have sex with my wife for once. Without having to be silent.

Just like, shh. Quiet. Be quiet. God, you know, the... Mom, dad. Nothing. Nothing. But what is it?

You take her to a zoo? You take her to a crib and take her somewhere? She just sees something and she's just, like, just... Enmored. All of it. And it's just, it's so cool. Don't you wish you still felt that? Yeah.

When you saw something spectacular. We run out of, I think we run out of like fantasy points as an adult. We lose the, the wow factor should be bigger still for us. Right. But we lose it. The wow factor for me now comes watching her watch something. Yeah, that's cool. That's the wow factor.

That is very cool. So like, I was doing a gig in Vegas and brought the family out. I play the lovely Venetian. Oh, good for you. At the Palazzo Theater. Palazzo. It's very nice. They give me tickets to the sphere.

You know, little guys at the Palazzo. At the Palazzo? Sebastian's going to be like, dude, shut the fuck up. Stop doing that. Why are you doing me? Yeah, he's going to be so annoyed. I gave him a good compliment at the beginning of this. Then he's been like, I heard you then.

You wouldn't shut up about me. We all do it, Sebastian. He's the best. But, you know, brought the family out to Vegas. We had a nice lunch out front. There's a restaurant where you could look at the Bellagio Fountains. Yes. And we're just sitting there and the Belagio Fountains start going.

And my daughter is just. just, whoa. And she's just, and I started crying. That's nice. I started to literally cry because my kids, like, and I'm here at the fancy wrestling, like, I brought you here, you're here because I was able to bring you here. And she's having this moment of discovery. I'm like, this is the greatest.

And then I immediately had to bottle those tears because dwarf tears cure cancer. They do. And we do know. RFK has said that before. If we could just round up the dwarfs, we can be able to cure cancer. If we could just make dwarves cry, then we'll have no cancer. What? Don't look.

Can you laugh till you cry? We don't know what ginger tears cure. I don't know. We cause cancer, you cure it? Ginger tears just make people like, automatically. There's a ginger water balloon and then a dwarf water balloon. Hold on. Experiment. Splash.

Splash. They're totally cured. They're totally cured. But it's a beautiful moment. You get to see that. through her eyes. Yeah. Those are the kind of things now. Like,

I'm getting her into hockey. Oh, really? Yeah, she likes hockey. Really? Yeah, because... You like hockey, but you're a big baseball football guy. Yeah. I like a lot of sports. I like baseball, like football, but I like hockey. And I love the fact that I'm a Ducks fan.

Because if I was a Kings fan, now there's all these celebrities in front of me that are way more famous and way more powerful. It's a big deal, yeah. They're like, all right, we can't give you anything because Will Ferrell's going to play the referee tonight, you know, or, you know, Justin Bieber or whatever the hell. So it's like, but then you become a Ducks fan. There's no celebrity duck fans. So you show up like, you know, a D-lister like myself.

And they're like, right this way, Mr. Williams. Would you like to play tonight, Mr. Williams? We need a back up. We need a right winger, Mr. Williams. Coach the team, call a play. So, yeah, the ducks treat me really good. It's good to be a mascot of a team that there hasn't been, you know, what is that called? It hasn't been, like, already consumed by the fame media.

Oh, I see, I see. They're still open. Like, they haven't been, it hasn't been, you know, accosted by fame. Exactly. Like, that's why, like, I'm also a Broncos fan. Broncos treat me really great. Now, if I was a Chiefs fan, like you are, that, I'm in line. See what he's doing there?

He's just starting shit. He's just starting shit. Between, like, Riggle, Stone Street, obviously all the Swifties. He knows I'm a Bears fan. He's doing this just to poke me. Because your best friend, your best fan, Travis. He's a friend of the family. He's a good guy that Travis.

You know what? And he is a good guy. He's a great dude. I'm not going to talk shit about that. I do, you know what? I am a diehard Chicago Bears fan. I do love the Chiefs because I have a couple of friends that play football for him. So sue me?

Sue me. Don't sue me, by the way. Please don't. Such an insane thing. It's really great. Chicago Chiefs both start with C. You don't even have to change. change out those little sea hats.

Well, and Chicago's big on native stuff, dude. The Blackhawks, the fighting a line eye. We're all in on native, dude. So it just fits. Bro, I was at the comedy store one time. Yeah. And in the chairs in the back of the original room, you know, for those don't know, it's reserved for comics.

There's a row of chairs that are in the original room there, and Mitzie used to sit in one of them and watch and criticize heavily. And then other comics would sit there and hope that she liked some of their shit. Yep. and I'm sitting there one night and then all of a sudden the security comes over and says hey we got to clear out these chairs

and I start to get up and they went I don't know Brad you you can stay you're a comic yeah you're a comic it was some other people that were like friends of people but they cleared them out and I'm like okay so I sit there and I'm still watching and then this behemoth of a monstrosity of an individual

he's just a guy that was 510 this giant of a man sits down and he he blocked out all the lights as he walked across it got dark cause an eclipse what the hell and he sits down he just looks right at me puts out of his hand and goes hey I'm Travis and it was Trav yeah it was Trav Kels Travis Kelsa yeah yeah yeah Trav Kels I call I oh you got him by yeah good for you I use the original pronunciation that's right that's right Trav Kels and he goes hey I'm Travis go hey I'm Bradie goes yeah you're you're friends with Cheeto

and I'm like yeah he goes well I go I gotta tell you I'm a Broncos fan so I'm sorry and he looks at me goes nobody's perfect and I'm like damn man he's got lines he's good he's got the bars dude he's got the ammunition no he's a great dude Hall of Famer a great a great man a great ball player yeah so ever since that I'm like

that now I can't hate you now I can't cheer if you get fucking you could try to hate you know there's some people you meet over course of time you're like good luck to hating them because they're pretty cool and nice. I went, have you ever had that moment where you met someone

that you thought you were going to hate? You? Yeah. No, no, no. And then I just turned out to be adorable. I have multiple times

thought I was going to dislike some. Not hate him, but I thought I'd be like, I don't really like that person. Then I met him and I go, I was wrong. Yeah, that was...

And I've had the opposite more where I'm like, I like that person, and you mean to me like, fuck that guy, dude. Oh my God. That guy stinks. Dude,

I ran into years ago, ran into Ryan Cabrera at the, yeah, Yeah, the singer at the Laugh Factory. And he had, like, huge spiky hair. I remember that, yeah. He had a hit all the way down.

And it was, like, it was popular. Not my cup of tea. No, I don't drink tea. Sat there and talked to him after the show. I'm like, holy shit, you're a cool dude. Yeah, it's probably very nice. He's very nice. We're still friends to this day.

Yeah. And he's just a great guy. Yeah, it happens more often than night. You would think that the public presentation of someone oftentimes dilutes the truth of what actually they are. because you are who people make you out to be, whether or not that's... Sometimes that's out of people's control. Some people, that's who they want to be perceived as,

so that's who they are. Some people, it's like a... It's like, no, no, no, I'm doing this as an image thing to be like... Correct. You can kind of feel it when you meet someone, you go, oh, they're in the thing. Yeah. I get that.

Yeah. They're doing a bit. Yeah, like, you know who's exactly who he is? Who's that? Whether you like it or not is Johnny Mansell. I met that kid. He's exactly who he is, man. He's fun.

He's loud. He's brash. He'll tell you straight up shit. Like he's no fake and no funny That's who he is I respect it I like that he's just like yeah fuck it You don't like me big deal

I'm like that's great dude He's got that hard So some people are Who they are And some people are who they think they should be And then the real gems are people who are kind of quiet Move seamlessly And then you meet him

You're like that guy was great Dude I was doing a show in Nashville one time And Chris Kirkpatrick from InSink Oh yeah yeah Came out to the show and he wanted to like he goes dude we got to hang out create a boy band together and I'm like all right

and he goes no no like tonight oh shit and I'm like all right sure he goes there's his bar I know like come on so so we go me and Chris and we go to this dive bar in Nashville and there's a karaoke machine and I go I can't pass this up yeah you know so I go I put my name in and then the answer goes all right next is

Brad and Chris Brad and Chris Brad and Chris And you do this thing, we were like, what? What? What? It's, yeah, it's the Will Ferrell scene from Anchorman, where he's like, oh, I would never play jazz flute. Hold on. Yeah, pull it out.

So I was like, oh, Chris, I guess we're singing, okay. And then we go up and he goes, what song, what song are we singing? And then the opening notes from, I want it that way by the Backstreet Boys come on. For sure, dude. Because I'm an asshole. Yeah, heavy troll, heavy troll. And Chris goes, do you think I'm upset? And he sings the shit out of it.

He probably killed it. He killed it. Of course, dude can sing. I mean, but this is the thing. It's like if he's fun with it, awesome. If he's bothered by it, loser. Exactly. Now I know I can't be friends with you.

Right. You're not cool. You're not fun. Exactly. Like if you, if we were doing something and then you announced to a crowd like, hey, here's we man from jackass. He'll kick himself in the head. That's funny.

That's funny, dude. That's funny. Have I said that before? It sounds like I've said that before. You may have said that before. It sounds like we were hanging out one night. You may have thrown a stapler at me and being like, he will staple his nuts to his leg. He will do it.

I can see you and me at a bar and some girl is like, who is that? I'm like, that's Weeman. Go say hi. A hundred percent, dude. I'm like, go say how to Wee Man. He's the best. He'll sign whatever you want. He's the best.

I love when people think I'm Weemann because then I'm like, oh, I can say anything I want now. Right. Weman has a horrible reputation. Like Weeman, you're like, you know, I hate blacks and Asians, and you just go off on a rant. I just go off. Dude, weman's racist. He's racist. That was crazy, dude.

And his real last name's a cunea. I think he's Latino. Hate him. Get him all out. Build that wall. Build it three times higher. He is actually a good dude. He's a good dude, too.

Turns out. I did a movie with him. Did Spinal Tap 2 with him. Oh, oh, yeah. That's right. Right. Yeah, and it's great. Because you also did Christopher Gess, the other movie, mascots. Yeah, mascots on Netflix. So Christopher Gess got me into Spinal Tap 2.

And me and We Man play the Druids for Stonehenge. Yeah. No lines. Don't need it. Don't need it. It's funny as shit. You need funny dwarves. You need it. Christopher Gest has, still has a comedy touch of gold. Yeah. Like he still gets, whether you like subversive comedy as a whole, that's a subjective thing. Some people don't like these kind of incitey things. Yeah, it's okay. But I think that kind of stuff always tickles me, dude. It's so much fun.

Like, yeah. Small comedy. And that's the name of your next special. That's name of my next special. Small comedy. That's another one, right after Prozac with the head. I just like, I like small stuff that he's always done. It really makes me laugh. He does like, little tiny layered jokes. They're kind of hidden sometimes or they're like, you really got to be in it. Great. If not. If you don't, that's okay.

Nobody cares. There's other jokes for you. Correct. But yeah. So I got to do a movie with Weeman, which I'm really stoked because people finally realize we're not the same fucking burst. Sebastian, Weeeman. Little Sebastian. We Sebastian. That's my character on S&L. We Sebastian.

We Sebastian. That's so funny. I can't get a step ladder. Sebastian Man a Smallco. Man a small co. There it was. Right there. There it fucking was.

I can't ride a roller coaster. Then you literally can't I can't go up and down And up and down Are you tell I was waiting for it to break I thought it was gonna crack I thought it was gonna crack

I got a big I got a big ass You do have a big shitter People don't know that Brad's got a badonka don't It is When we went bowling At the Roosevelt And

All his power He's got The guy's got great ball speed All the power's derived From that shitter This guy's turd cutter Is unbelievable I mean he did

He's sitting on a bomb It is It's got a lot of power. That's where all the power comes from my golf swing. Like, Brad, you know, what? You hit it like 50, 60 yards. No, he can hit the golf ball, dude. I can fucking hit it, bro.

He can stripe it, dude. It comes all in the fucking age. It's all in the hips in the age. You know? Hell, it's great, man. I love it. Your old man, big golfer, too. He was a big golfer, right?

So many things. He would say like we'd be walking and he was a member of this course in Long Beach. And he would know all the other members, whatever. He'd be like, hey, you know, my kids playing golf. Hey, hey, hey, ask my kid what his handicap is. Yeah, there it is. And there you go. What's your handicapped?

I go dwarfism, you son of a bitch. You know, it was always great. Always great. He would do that. And then people would see him and be like, hey, his name's Pete. He goes, hey, Pete, your kid's playing golf. He's like, yeah, drives the bell good. But hell of a short game on that kid.

Yeah, of course. Hell of a short game. Same two jokes. Same two jokes. And they crush every time. Every time. They never missed. They never missed.

That's why whenever a comic gets known for like a catchphrase or something and then doesn't want to do it Yeah I'm like why You say just do it you say the phrase You know you get to walk out on stage.
