Disco Demolition, Underpants Birds, & The Best Baseball Wedding Ever | HEIGHTENED BABBLE Ep 43Oct 27, 2026 · 1 hr 31 minBrad Williams and JB Ball open Episode 43 — "the Troy Polamalu episode" — riffing on the Steelers legend's soft-spoken fame, then cover National American Beer Day, Potato Day, and Boxer Shorts Day. They dig into White Sox player Murakami's viral "I am a Japanese" postgame catchphrase, tracing it back to a classic Blue Jays interview callback. Birthday shoutouts hit Theodore Roosevelt (teddy bear origin story) and John Cleese, sparking a Monty Python coconut-horse tangent. The intro wraps with tour date rundowns and a new executive producer shoutout to Giselle Barton.In First Class Mail, listeners escalate the "weird places you've run into a teacher" thread with a stripper reunion, a student mail carrier delivering a sex toy package to her teacher, and a teacher moonlighting as a nude beach hot dog vendor. Other submissions include a petty garbage man's passive-aggressive trash can placement, a country club member literally named "Pussy Driver," a family nickname mix-up, and a callback to the ball-stomping scene from *Baby's Day Out*.Two Tall Tales covers the Atlanta Hawks' "Single AF Night," spiraling into history's most chaotic minor-league promotions — Disco Demolition Night's riot, a "Circle of Life" funeral giveaway night, the Altoona Curve's miserable "Awful Night" (capped by a raffled gallbladder), and a "Turkish Millionaire" trivia night with a near-worthless grand prize. The segment closes with a man caught smuggling ten live birds in his underwear through Miami airport, followed by a candid chat about personal "outside the mainstream" attractions, including producer Isaac's awkward Sabrina Carpenter story.Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyChapter Markers 00:00 – Cold open: hot dogs, teachers, strip clubs02:50 – Episode 43, "The Troy Polamalu" episode04:43 – Murakami's "I am a Japanese" viral clip introduced06:59 – The real baseball history behind the catchphrase08:11 – National Potato Day & Boxer Shorts Day08:55 – Celebrity birthdays: Theodore Roosevelt & John Cleese10:44 – Monty Python coconut horse bit12:14 – Tour dates: Las Vegas, Palazzo Theater13:00 – Florida tour run announced15:42 – TikTok and social media follow push17:56 – New EP: Giselle Barton reveal19:29 – Death By Dwarf hot sauce sponsor read20:24 – FCM: teacher sightings thread recap22:26 – Teacher at the strip club story23:19 – USPS student delivers package to chemistry teacher24:16 – Teacher selling hot dogs at a nude beach28:12 – Nana Rob Snyder's email: Savannah Banana Nanas32:11 – Petty garbage man story34:07 – Nana Fred's WASPy country club: "Pussy Driver"37:12 – Nana Glen's BJ nickname mix-up email38:16 – Nana Rick Sanford's email: *Baby's Day Out* ball-stomp scene42:53 – Two Tall Tales intro43:07 – Atlanta Hawks "Single AF Night" story46:31 – Disco Demolition Night history48:03 – Dollar Beer Night & Brad's Baltimore heckler story54:26 – Quad City River Bandits "Circle of Life" promotion59:18 – Altoona Curve's "Awful Night" & gallbladder giveaway01:03:28 – "Who Wants to Be a Turkish Millionaire" night01:08:33 – Anaheim Ducks "Come Out and Play Night" callout01:10:47 – Two Tall Tales #2 intro: birds in underpants01:13:04 – The ten birds smuggling story breakdown01:20:43 – Attraction confessional segment begins01:24:29 – JB's Sabrina Carpenter discomfort01:30:54 – Episode recap & wrap-up01:34:04 – Sign-off & outro song ("Carl the Lobster")#podcast #comedy #comedian #comedians #funny #podcastclips- T-Rex Wedding Chaos, Paramedic Poop Heroics, & Brad's Worst Gig Ever | Heightened Babble Ep 42Oct 20, 2026 · 1 hr 24 minBrad and JB kick off episode 42 with a chaotic cold open before diving into holiday nonsense: National Mozzarella Sticks Day, Office Chocolate Day, and National Chicken and Waffles Day, which sparks a surprisingly thoughtful bit on how food-based racial stereotypes always seem to target objectively delicious food. The guys riff on Applebee's mozzarella sticks, zodiac skepticism, and give a rundown of their upcoming Tall Tales Tour stops across Virginia and North Carolina before wishing producer Isaac a happy birthday (and roasting his "Arch Nemesis" special in the process).The First Class Mail segment brings a wave of unforgettable listener submissions: a grandson who rigged his dead grandfather's body with a "pop-up" surprise using Viagra and a wooden dowel, a paramedic who heroically saved a homeless man's life while violently soiling himself, and the now-infamous "Nana Nicholas," whose petty post-divorce revenge involved secretly stockpiling used condoms inside his ex-wife's California king bed frame. The guys also field listener questions about Dancing With the Stars, zombie movie deaths, and reminisce about Kong: Skull Island's most unhinged death scene.Too Tall Tales delivers two outrageous-but-true stories: a maid of honor who wore a full inflatable T-Rex costume to her sister's wedding with the bride's blessing, spiraling into a tangent about Jaden Smith's infamous white Batman suit from Kim and Kanye's wedding. The second story features a five-year-old child who called the police on his uncle for pushing him — only for officers to discover the "uncle" was also five, resolved by a playful mock court hearing. The segment inspires Brad and JB to pitch their own "Toddler Court" TV show concept, debating judges, punishments, and format with increasing absurdity. Brad closes the show recounting his all-time worst stand-up gig, performing immediately after a tearjerking in memoriam speech at a wedding.Follow us on social media!Join our Patreon www.patreon.com/HeightenedBabbleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyChapters00:00 – Cold open: pre-show banter and "Green Batman"01:01 – Intro: Welcome to Episode 4202:11 – Zodiac signs are scientifically wrong03:15 – National Materialistic Day & Applebee's mozzarella sticks love04:19 – National Chicken and Waffles Day05:12 – Food stereotypes aren't actually insults discussion07:27 – Office Chocolate Day jokes09:51 – Producer Isaac's birthday shoutout11:14 – Tall Tales Tour dates: Norfolk, Richmond, Durham, Roanoke13:31 – Tour info, specials, and social media plugs15:16 – Isaac Abrams' "Arch Nemesis" special plug17:16 – Patreon, executive producers shoutout17:43 – "Death by Dwarf" tangent19:41 – Intro to First Class Mail segment21:03 – WJO (driving while jerking off) story recap24:34 – Grandpa's Viagra pop-up funeral display story29:56 – Paramedic shits himself saving a homeless man's life32:14 – New Patreon Nana Tim's zombie movie question39:49 – Dancing With the Stars question42:20 – Nana Nicholas's condom bed revenge story49:44 – Story 1: Maid of honor's T-Rex wedding costume56:02 – Jaden Smith's white Batman suit tangent1:03:06 – Wedding speech banter & toddler court pitch begins1:11:26 – Story 2: Five-year-old calls 911 on five-year-old "uncle"1:17:32 – "Toddler Court"/"Kid Court" show pitch continues1:22:13 – Full recap of episode topics1:26:50 – Final listener call-to-action & sign-off#podcast #comedy #comedian #comedians #funny #podcastclips #HeightenedBabble #BradWilliams #JBBall #PodcastClips #ComedyPodcast #TwoTallTales #FirstClassMail #ViralStory #FunnyStories #PodcastHighlights
- Dick In A Hole, Swinger Blackmail, & Wild Teacher Run-Ins | Heightened Babble Ep 41Oct 13, 2026 · 1 hr 18 minIn episode 41 of Heightened Babble, Brad Williams and JB Ball kick things off with their usual blend of calendar chaos and sports commiseration — celebrating National No Bra Day and National M&M Day, while JB nurses his wounds over the Chargers' winless record on "International Day of Failure." The guys dig into celebrity birthdays, landing on wrestler-turned-reality star Stacy Keebler, which spirals into a tangent about dwarf wrestling names, George Clooney's bachelor era, and Michael Douglas's wild dating history before Catherine Zeta-Jones.After plugging their stand-up tour dates across the Midwest and shouting out new executive producers on the Patreon, the duo heads into First Class Mail, reading listener comments about punny restaurant signs, a chaotically funny mishearing of their "digging a hole" sound clip, and a harrowing birthday story from longtime listener Cody about accidentally setting himself on fire with gasoline and styrofoam as a teenager. The conversation naturally drifts into real-life road stories of audience members catching fire or passing out mid-show.The back half of the episode features Two Tall Tales: first, a radio call-in about parents at a swingers party who recognize their daughter's new boyfriend from a past encounter, sparking a heated debate between Brad and JB about honesty, parental hypocrisy, and the ethics of lifestyle secrecy; second, a viral thread about the most awkward places teachers have run into their former students, including colonoscopies, delivery rooms, pharmacies, and nightclubs.The episode wraps with the hosts debating whether MLB needs a salary cap, taking shots at journalist Pablo Torre, and reminiscing about Nike history — all before closing out with listener shoutouts and tour plugs.Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyChapter Markers- 00:00 – Cold Open- 02:31 – Intro & Celebrity/National Day Banter- 05:15 – No Bra Day & M&M Day Tangents- 06:50 – Chargers Losing Streak & "International Day of Failure"- 08:40 – Tour Dates & Executive Producer Shoutouts- 11:20 – Stacy Keebler Birthday & Dwarf Wrestling Names- 13:45 – George Clooney's Bachelor Era- 15:10 – Michael Douglas's Dating History- 16:12 – First Class Mail Begins- 18:30 – Punny Restaurant Signs- 21:05 – "Digging a Hole" Clip Mishearing- 24:40 – Cody's Birthday Fire Story- 28:15 – Road Stories: Fans Catching Fire- 30:35 – Road Stories: Fans Passing Out- 32:50 – Two Tall Tales: Swinger Parents Dinner Drama- 38:10 – Honesty & Parental Hypocrisy Debate- 44:25 – Lifestyle Secrecy Ethics Discussion- 50:48 – Two Tall Tales: Teachers Caught in Awkward Places- 56:30 – Colonoscopy & Delivery Room Encounters- 1:03:15 – Pharmacy & Nightclub Run-Ins- 1:11:00 – Baseball Salary Cap Debate- 1:15:40 – Pablo Torre Shots & Nike History- 1:19:30 – Listener Shoutouts & Tour PlugsHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Disneyland Farts, a Deadly DWJ & Diarrhea Dash to Victory | Heightened Babble episode 40Oct 6, 2026 · 1 hr 23 minBrad and JB kick off episode 40 by celebrating National Noodle Day, National Coaches Day, and German-American Day — which JB promptly rebrands as "JB Ball Day" in honor of his own German heritage, leading into a detour about his actual citizenship status and a Dennis Schröder tangent. They give a happy birthday shoutout to WWE's The Miz, sharing surprisingly wholesome details about his real-life relationship, before diving into Tall Tales Tour announcements for upcoming stops in Ithaca, Stamford, and Charlestown.In "First Class Mail," JB finds himself on the defensive after an avalanche of listener backlash over his controversial claim that NASCAR isn't a "real" sport, reigniting the ongoing "what counts as a sport" debate from previous episodes. The hosts then move into lighter territory with a roundup of cats that resemble dictators (and a new category: cats that look like Steve Buscemi), before diving into a batch of listener-submitted stories. These include deeply unfortunate childhood nicknames like "Cummins" and "Comey," an aunt's unexpectedly impressive tennis showdown with Billie Jean King, a Disneyland cast member's infamous fart-on-a-baby incident, and a chaotic funeral story involving a Sonic drive-thru death and a disastrously mistranslated rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" played in Portuguese.The "Two Tall Tales" segment closes out the episode with two stranger-than-fiction news stories: a Detroit man whose cause of death is almost too outrageous to say out loud, and an Australian fitness competitor who had an "involuntary" bowel incident mid-competition — and tried to keep competing (and claim victory) anyway. Along the way, producer Isaac drops an unexpected personal confession that catches both hosts off guard.Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedy Chapter Markers00:00 – Cold open & intro to episode 4003:48 – National Noodle Day & Coaches Day06:17 – JB Ball Day (German-American Day) & citizenship talk10:38 – The Miz birthday & love story12:30 – Tall Tales Tour dates announced18:08 – Death by Dwarf hot sauce sponsor bit20:14 – First Class Mail: NASCAR "what is a sport" debate27:20 – Dictator cats & Steve Buscemi cats30:33 – Weird uncle nicknames ("Cummins"/"Comey")37:12 – Embarrassing childhood nicknames38:14 – Disneyland fart-on-a-baby story43:38 – Sonic drive-thru death funeral story49:13 – Portuguese "Stairway to Heaven" funeral mishap57:52 – Two Tall Tales: pantsless driver death story1:02:03 – Producer Isaac's confession1:10:21 – Fitness competition "explosive" victory story1:17:45 – Episode wrap-up & sign-off### Tags/Hashtags#HeightenedBabble #BradWilliams #JBBall #ComedyPodcast #FirstClassMail #TwoTallTales #TrueStory #FunnyStories #TallTalesTour #ComedyDuoHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Cattle Farm Catastrophe Gets Utterly Disgusting | Heightened Babble Episode 39Sep 29, 2026 · 1 hr 16 minBrad and JB kick off episode 39 celebrating National Coffee Day and National Biscotti Day, along with wrestler birthdays for Swerve Strickland and the three-foot luchador Micro Man (who takes on the seven-foot-three Omos in a genuinely wild wrestling clip). They cover upcoming Tall Tales Tour dates in Asheville, Nashville, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, introduce new executive producer Ziggy Sharp, and plug Brad's "Death by Dwarf" hot sauce line. In "First Class Mail," the hosts dive into listener-submitted dating app horror stories (including a profile featuring a mirror, a camera, and a very exposed photographer known only as "But Man"), debate whether polo and the movie Cars count as "real" sports, and explore an elaborate funeral plan involving biodegradable balloons filled with a Nana's ashes.The "Two Tall Tales" segment covers two genuinely bizarre real headlines: a fire at an Australian cattle breeding farm that caused stored bull semen canisters to rupture and launch across the property, forcing firefighters to dodge flying debris, and a British zoo's mortifying autocomplete error that accidentally advertised a family-friendly wildlife tour as a "child predator tour." Both stories send Brad and JB into some of their most chaotic tangents yet, touching on Sylvester Stallone's polo-playing father, Michael Jackson conspiracy jokes, and the etymology of gay slang terms like "otter." The episode wraps with a running bit about updating the classic phrase "I'll fuck you up" to "I'll fuck you down," complete with a call for listeners to submit their own Keith Sweat-style tribute songs.Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyChapter Markers00:00 – Cold open: cold open bits and headline previews02:09 – Intro to episode 3903:17 – Height jokes and dating profile bit03:17 – National Coffee Day & National Biscotti Day06:44 – Wrestler birthdays: Swerve Strickland & Micro Man09:12 – Tall Tales Tour dates announced13:07 – Hot sauce, sponsor plug & social links13:43 – Executive producer shoutouts (Ziggy Sharp)16:06 – Voicemail shoutout: Teddy17:10 – First Class Mail begins19:56 – "But Man" dating app photo story23:38 – Is polo a sport? debate begins28:03 – Is Cars a sports movie? tangent30:16 – Nana Cory's balloon ash-funeral idea39:29 – "Fuck you up" vs "fuck you down" bit40:59 – Bar fight story from Nathan54:24 – Two Tall Tales intro55:25 – Massive semen explosion story begins1:02:47 – Bull semen pricing tangent1:11:07 – Zoo "child predator tour" story begins1:15:29 – Autocomplete/AI proofreading tangent1:16:50 – Episode recap begins1:19:38 – Patreon/executive producer sign-off### Tags/Hashtags#HeightenedBabble #BradWilliams #JBBall #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #FirstClassMail #TwoTallTales #WeirdNews #TallTalesTour #ComedyDuo #FunnyStories #WrestlingHumorHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Dictator Cats, Serial Butt Sniffers & the Coffin Confessor | Heightened Babble episode 38Sep 22, 2026 · 1 hr 14 minBrad and JB kick off episode 38 celebrating National White Chocolate Day (a tribute to NBA legend Jason Williams) and the autumnal equinox, which JB has now heard referenced exactly twice in his life. That spirals into a debate over vocabulary ("penultimate," "eclectic"), a detour into Brad's awkward Jennifer Love Hewitt/Taco Bell encounter, and a passionate breakdown of celebrity birthday lists — leading into news on tour dates for the Tall Tales Tour (Asheville, Nashville, Cleveland, and Cincinnati) and a shoutout to their newest executive producer.In First Class Mail, the hosts continue their long-running debate over what qualifies as a "real" sport, with JB defending his stance that NASCAR doesn't count (despite an impressive breakdown of aerodynamic drafting tricks) while Brad argues in NASCAR's favor. Listener emails cover the joys (and complications) of "first day of school" intimacy for parents, plus a hilarious follow-up on cats that resemble a certain European dictator — and other celebrities.Two Tall Tales features the real story of California's "serial butt sniffer," repeatedly arrested for stalking women in stores, leading to a deep dive into the science of contaminated farts, dating app horror stories, and O.J. Simpson-themed dating profiles. The final story covers Australia's real-life "Coffin Confessor," a man paid by dying clients to crash their own funerals and reveal secrets, expose affairs, and even deliver posthumous insults — spinning off into fantasy funeral pranks, stripper tributes, and a legendary story about a "Bang Bang, Niner Gang" chant met with dead silence at a real funeral.For bonus episodes and exclusive content join us on patreonWww.patreon.com/Heightenedbabble Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamscomedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyJB's YouTube: @JBBallComedy Isaac's Youtube : @IsaacAbrams Chapters00:00 – Cold open: Jennifer Love Hewitt/Taco Bell bit02:24 – Intro to episode 3803:36 – Word origins: penultimate & eclectic tangent06:20 – Hobbit Day & Lord of the Rings hot takes08:06 – National White Chocolate Day: Jason Williams09:15 – Celebrity birthday debate12:44 – Tall Tales Tour dates announced15:23 – Social links & Patreon/executive producer shoutouts17:17 – First Class Mail begins18:01 – The "what is a sport" debate (NASCAR)24:52 – First day of school listener email27:20 – Cats that look like dictators (and other celebrities)32:38 – Two Tall Tales intro33:00 – Serial butt sniffer story begins39:34 – The fart contamination "study" tangent51:29 – The Coffin Confessor story begins59:39 – Funeral pranks & stripper tribute videos1:03:23 – The "Bang Bang, Niner Gang" funeral story1:07:05 – Episode wrap-up & recap1:13:30 – Patreon/executive producer sign-offHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Dad Fights, One-Star Reviews, and The Class Soiree | Heightened Babble Ep 37Sep 15, 2026 · 1 hr 26 minBrad Williams and JB Ball kick off episode 37 riffing on National Afro Day, running down the most legendary afros in history (Dr. J, Hendrix, Colin Kaepernick), and sharing a jaw-dropping true story about strongman-wrestler Mark Henry accidentally bending a real cast iron pot with his bare hands. They also dig into wrestler birthdays, uncovering the wild true story of Booker T robbing 26 Wendy's locations before becoming a five-time champion.In "First Class Mail," the guys revisit a previous episode's Hawaii "parenting other people's kids" debate (spoiler: the Nanas voted 97% in Brad's favor), plus listener stories about dads defending their kids from bullies, a Daniel Cormier playground standoff, and an incredible story about a man who stopped a home robbery at gunpoint... with his pants unzipped."Two Tall Tales" features a Florida steakhouse that hosts a monthly nude dining night (with a very memorable owner reveal), plus JB's unforgettable first encounter at a nudist resort ("Frank the Dick"). The second tale covers a Texas man arrested after leaving a glowing five-star Yelp review for the hitman service he hired — leading into a hilarious runoff of ridiculous one-star reviews for the Hollywood sign and the Grand Canyon. The episode wraps with a new recurring bit: reading black celebrity quotes in Transylvanian vampire accents.Chapters00:00 – Cold open02:01 – Welcome back to Heightened Babble02:47 – Tall Tales Tour dates (Wilkes-Barre, Philly, NYC, Burlington)04:22 – Movie talk / The Odyssey, Isaac's "Arch Nemesis" special shoutout06:05 – Socials, contact info, Patreon plug07:10 – Executive producer shoutouts ("Law Her")08:11 – National Double Cheeseburger Day08:42 – National Afro Day discussion09:36 – Ranking legendary afros11:29 – Ben Wallace / Detroit Pistons Afro Night12:47 – Wrestler birthdays begin13:11 – Jesse Ventura the luchador13:44 – Bill Burr vs. "Bill Blank" comedian story14:14 – Kiara Hogan reveal16:52 – The "N-word Pass" wrestling match bit18:31 – Mark Henry's real cast iron pot story21:26 – First Class Mail begins22:10 – Hawaii kid-disciplining follow-up & listener poll results27:32 – Barry from Brooklyn's block-fight story28:08 – Daniel Cormier playground story30:19 – Shake Shack robbery follow-up31:29 – Frozen Lions fan's home invasion / "other pistol" story36:36 – Booker T's Wendy's robbery history38:32 – Two Tall Tales begins38:47 – Nude steakhouse in Hollywood, Florida53:15 – JB's nudist resort story ("Frank the Dick")57:39 – Second Two Tall Tales: hitman Yelp review arrest1:00:31 – Reviewing things that shouldn't have reviews (Hollywood sign, Grand Canyon)1:15:37 – Episode recap begins1:19:57 – Transylvanian accent bit (Urkel, Shaq, Barkley, Beyoncé, Rihanna)1:26:01 – Outro, Patreon, executive producer shoutoutsHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Jonathan Zaslow's Couch, A Fake 49er & The Gas Station Teacher | Heightened Babble Ep 36Sep 8, 2026 · 1 hr 18 minBrad Williams and JB Ball are back with another chaotic episode of Heightened Babble! This week the guys kick things off by debating whether Spock ever got laid in honor of National Star Trek Day, celebrate National Ampersand Day, and dive headfirst into the great "Ants on a Log" cultural divide (Twizzlers vs. celery, anyone?). Things get even weirder when they break down David Arquette's infamous WCW Heavyweight Championship run — including the very real glass-related injury that almost ended him. Oh, and there's tour info for the Tall Tales Tour, so stick around for that too.Then it's on to First Class Mail, where the guys give a shoutout to the Dan Ledbetter Show, break down the legendary "cock chair" bit courtesy of Jonathan Zaslow, and play a new round of the Doppelganger Game (this week's winner: Juju Gotti). Listener submissions bring the feel-good energy with a genius "police sting" prank designed to help the unhoused, plus an incredible comeback story about a high schooler who scored three touchdowns after nearly succumbing to heat exhaustion. Finally, the Two Tall Tales segment delivers two absolutely unhinged true stories: a man who scammed women out of over a MILLION dollars by catfishing them as an NFL player, and an elementary school teacher who created an official "Fart Corner" gas station in her classroom. The episode wraps with a viral Costco intercom fart video and a rapid-fire round of celebrity voice impressions including Mike Tyson, Will Smith, Ludacris, and Blade.⏱ TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Cold open, couch bit & 49ers scammer teaser1:19 – Show intro2:27 – Welcome back / Lindsey Clancy trial talk3:50 – National Star Trek Day & Spock debate6:10 – National Ampersand Day & Ants on a Log9:00 – Twizzlers vs. celery debate9:43 – Two potato salads (culture divide bit)9:55 – David Arquette's WCW title, death match injury & Black History Month bit13:39 – Tour dates & Tall Tales Tour info19:59 – First Class Mail intro20:24 – Dan Ledbetter Show shoutout21:22 – Jonathan Zaslow's "cock chair" bit26:20 – Doppelganger game: Juju Gotti29:29 – Good pranks & Nana Stephen's comeback story40:48 – Fart corner teaser41:57 – Two Tall Tales intro42:06 – Fake 49ers player scam story57:11 – Have you ever been scammed?1:02:22 – Second Two Tall Tales intro1:02:30 – Teacher's viral "fart corner" story1:09:13 – Viral Costco intercom fart video1:12:09 – Wrap-up & recap1:14:45 – Voice impressions: Mike Tyson, Will Smith, Ludacris, Blade1:19:00 – Outro🎧 Follow Heightened Babble for new episodes every week!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

- Tupac's Ashes, Is NASCAR a Sport? & a Trip to Mexico Done Right | Heightened Babble EP 35Sep 1, 2026 · 1 hr 30 minBrad Williams and JB Ball are back for episode 35 of Heightened Babble, and this one goes to some wild places. The guys kick things off with a deep dive into the "National Days", a hilarious detour through Abraham Lincoln history, and the ongoing mystery of why Jeff Hardy is an honorary member of every Black cookout in America. From there it's Hawaii hurricane survival stories — including JB getting stuck in a water slide and rescuing a kid from a flying pool chair — plus a heartfelt push to support Hawaii relief charities after the recent storm damage.Here are some links to donate to the Hurricane Relief:https://donate.wck.org/campaign/833397/donate?c_src=site-blog-rlf194&_gl=1*aubhtt*_gcl_au*NDA3MTIyNTg1LjE3ODcwMDc3NDc.*_ga*MTY5ODY3NDQ5NS4xNzg3MDA3NzQ3*_ga_5WKVY8503C*czE3ODcwMDc3NDckbzEkZzEkdDE3ODcwMDc3NTYkajUxJGwwJGgw https://www.redcross.org/about-us/news-and-events/news/2026/storm-heads-toward-hawaii.html https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/community-relief-fund-3?refcode=JT_EM_AW_90DO_260817_1_1&emci=3eef65c9-849a-f111-9b33-000d3a11fa30&emdi=7c9b38cc-889a-f111-9b33-000d3a11fa30&ceid=27424584 Then things get even stranger: the guys break down listener-submitted pranks (a sunken boat prank, a "decorate the drunk guy" tradition from a bar in Japan involving an air traffic controller, and a Lego wall quarantine prank), settle the eternal "is NASCAR a sport" debate once and for all, and dive into two unbelievable **Two Tall Tales** — including the wild, multi-source claim that Tupac Shakur's ashes were rolled into blunts and smoked, and a Reddit story about a man who traveled to Mexico intending to end his life but instead found a new reason to live. It's equal parts hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt, capped off with an all-timer of a bit: Black people speaking in a Transylvanian accent.

- Chris Porter | Taco Bell, Mountain Don't and Robbing SHAKE SHACK | Heightened Babble Ep 34Aug 25, 2026 · 1 hr 29 minBrad Williams is back on Heightened Babble, but this time JB Ball is out (just for this episode he'll be back next week) and guest host Chris Porter is in the chair for a wild, laugh-filled episode full of road stories, bad ideas, and deeply questionable behavior. The guys kick things off with tour talk, fame levels, old-man concert habits, and why getting recognized in public can be both flattering and horrifying. Brad also shares stories about being Mini Danhausen in WWE, getting mistaken for all kinds of things, and the strange reality of being famous just enough to be noticed, but not enough to ruin your life.Things get even better when the episode turns into a debate about parenting, public shaming, childhood freedom, fast food, and the bizarre stuff people used to get away with before phones and safety rules took over the world. From disciplining someone else’s kid in Hawaii, to drinking with old comedians, to the dangers of trusting a fart, Brad and Chris somehow make stories about pop culture, fast food, and porta potties feel like essential comedy.This episode also features “Too Tall Tales” stories about a man who trapped himself in a porta potty sewage tank after chasing a Mountain Dew bottle, plus a Shake Shack employee who allegedly robbed his own job and came back to work like nothing happened. It’s classic Heightened Babble chaos: dark comedy, absurd life lessons, and two comedians trying to figure out how society still functions.📧 Email: heightenedbabble@gmail.com 📞 Voicemail: (323) 272-3908 💰 Patreon: Patreon.com/heightenedbabble Special Thanks to our Executive Producers : Zynx and Robert CanevariFollow Brad: @BradWilliamsComic Follow Chris: @IAmChrisPorterFollow JB: @JBballcomedyFollow Producer Isaac: @theisaacabrams Follow the podcast: @HeightenedBabblePodcastChapters00:00 Welcome to Heightened Babble with guest host Chris Porter 00:18 Chris Porter replaces JB Ball this episode 01:15 Fame levels and getting recognized in public 03:28 Brad’s Mini Danhausen WWE recognition story 06:28 Instant ramen day and National Kiss and Make Up Day 10:14 Kids today vs. the freedom of growing up in the 80s and 90s 15:30 Vanna White, old Playboy stacks, and getting weird 19:08 The hotel key McDonald’s prank in Cincinnati 21:18 The “Mexican Batman” story and Nana George’s duct tape solution 24:02 The Hawaii coral-rock incident begins 29:35 Brad’s final ruling: was he a dick? 34:44 Austin Powers still holds up 37:30 Patreon questions and Taco Bell history 41:38 Cheesecake Factory actually makes everything from scratch 47:03 JB’s pants-shitting story gets revisited 52:38 The second Too Tall Tales story: a Kansas man in a porta potty sewage tank 57:04 Boarding-group shame and airport rule breakers 59:39 Why shame still matters 01:09:13 The Shake Shack robbery story begins 01:13:35 Returning to work after robbing the place 01:15:30 Brad’s gun-pulled-in-Brazil story 01:18:07 Taco Bell is still Chris’s favorite fast food 01:24:38 Wrapping up with Chris Porter’s special and tour dates 01:29:40 Patreon shoutout and executive producersHeightened Babble is what happens when two stand-up comedians who couldn’t be built more differently take on the world one ridiculous conversation at a time.

From a Kia Telluride modified to read something deeply inappropriate, to a Marine Corps vet whose plate just says "CRAYONS," to the legendary "Duck Money" Corvette, to a flower farm that ran WTF plates for *decades* — the Nanas delivered absolute bangers. Brad's daughter also drops what may be the greatest bathroom bar ever committed to the English language, and JB reveals he once bribed his way to a C-minus in physical science with Fresca sodas.

- Custom Coffins, Petty or Not & Brad's Childhood Nemesis | Heightened Babble Ep 30Jul 28, 2026 · 1 hr 23 minHappy National Milk Chocolate Day, National Water Park Day, AND National Hepatitis Day — because apparently July 28th is the holiday buffet nobody asked for. Comedians Brad Williams and JB Ball kick things off by accidentally showing up dressed as photo negatives of each other (is it purple? Burgundy? Maroon? The debate nearly tears them apart), give a birthday shoutout to Triple H, and spiral into a hilarious breakdown of why Hollywood actors like Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill dehydrate themselves just to look good shirtless. JB's takeaway? Just eat the cookie and take the roids. The boys also read fan mail in "First Class Mail," including an update from Nana Sean and his demolition derby saga, a YouTube commenter who proves duct taping coworkers to poles is shockingly easy, and the most unhinged lie a parent has ever told — involving leprechauns living inside ATMs who accept black licorice as payment. Then things get REALLY good. In "Two Tall Tales," Brad and JB dive into Ghana's incredible tradition of fantasy coffins — custom-built caskets shaped like Coca-Cola bottles, Nike sneakers, fish, shotguns, and... some shapes that are definitely NSFW. They're also joined by special guest and Pulitzer Prize winner Amin Alhassan (ESPN, Meadowlark Media, The Xenophobe Podcast) who weighs in on the coffins, shares a legendary story about accidentally leaving adult film research open on his laptop at an NBA Finals courtside broadcast, and debates whether JB Ball could actually beat Chuck Norris in a real fight. The episode wraps up with a "Petty-Off" — a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who hired a 14-piece marching band to play "Love Stinks" outside her ex's office for nine straight days vs. an Indian lawyer who fought a 22-year legal battle over being overcharged $0.25 on a train ticket. Plus, Brad finally reveals his lifelong grudge against childhood hockey rival Evan Moore, who went on to play tight end in the NFL.

Brad Williams and JB Ball are back with another hilarious deep dive into the internet's strangest stories. This week, we discovered that Batman exists in real life... and he's duct-taping criminals to lampposts in Mexico! Plus, we explore South Korea's bizarre new trend: food delivery apps where NO FOOD actually comes (yes, really).We kick things off celebrating National Mac and Cheese Day with an epic grandma who made her family clean up after they RUINED Thanksgiving mac and cheese.

Cheese, Gamer Hitmen & the Eiffel Tower Bride — Heightened Babble | Episode 21May 26, 2026 · 1 hr 18 minBrad Williams & JB Ball get loud, honest, and ridiculous about parenting, weird internet stories, and the power of abuela justice. Brad recounts a chaotic first trip to Chuck E. Cheese (complete with trampolines, missing ball pits, and a guardian abuela armed with a chancla). JB and Brad riff on kids, nicknames, and the everyday absurdities of raising little people — plus a voicemail from a listener whose high-school nickname lives rent-free in our heads.The guys run Two Tall Tales (true stories too good to be fake): a Chinese dad hiring pro gamers to grief his son in World of Warcraft, a woman who “married” the Eiffel Tower then left it for a fence, and another woman obsessed with a Boeing 737. We close with an update from Brad’s wife Jasmine about the controversial math-teacher story, plus riffs on emo mariachi covers, playground justice, and the weirdest parenting moves you’ve ever seen.Follow us on social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heightenedbabblepodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heightenedbabblepodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Heightened-Babble-Podcast/61585004459148/X: https://x.com/heightenedbabblBrad's YouTube: @BradWilliamsComedy Brad's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicJB's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jbballcomedyWant to be on the show?

- Seal vs Tourist, DoorDash Stalking & First Movie Boner Confessions | Heightened Babble | Ep 20May 19, 2026 · 1 hr 27 minBrad and JB kick this episode off with their signature mix of outrage and tenderness, riffing on bizarre holidays, Malcolm X Day, and the surprising civil‑rights origins of the X‑Men. From goofy pop‑culture takes to sharp observations about identity and fandom, they set the tone with rapidfire jokes that land somewhere between affectionate satire and full‑on roast — then pivot to real talk about touring, special promos, and the weird little rituals that make life fun on the road.The conversation heats up into story mode: listener confessions reveal the outrageous white lies parents tell their kids, two jaw‑dropping true tales (including a viral Maui seal confrontation), and an absurdly polite but relentless case of DoorDash harassment involving 1,847 single lemons. Along the way Brad and JB unpack movie memories, celebrity riffs, relationship horror stories, and the kind of unscripted, loud, honest comedy chemistry that keeps fans coming back.Like, subscribe, share with friends who need a laugh — CALL US with your stories at (323) 272‑3908 or email heightenedbabble@gmail.com.

- Tooth Fairy Left an IOU, Puppy‑Play Neighbors & Clone‑A‑Willy Fails | Heightened Babble Ep. 10Mar 10, 2026 · 1 hr 6 minTooth Fairy Left an IOU, Puppy‑Play Neighbors & Clone‑A‑Willy Fails | Heightened Babble Ep. 10Get ready for a wild ride: Brad and JB unpack parenting fails (the tooth fairy leaves an IOU — yes, really), strange and hilarious neighborhood discoveries (from puppy‑play couples at 2AM to a naked man posing for an invisible photographer), jaw‑dropping street talent (a juggling performer spinning a ball on a stick in a crosswalk), and absolutely ridiculous adult‑product tales (the Clone‑A‑Willy disaster). Plus: a heated-but-funny takedown of revolving doors (history + sexism), craft‑party dildo painting, kinky neighbor confessions, and plenty of low‑blow social commentary. Subscribe, laugh along, and email your best neighbor‑kink or “lies you told your kids” stories to heightenedbabble@gmail.com — we read the best on air.In this episode we riff on the parenting curveballs—Brad’s daughter loses her first tooth and wakes up to a tooth‑fairy IOU (financial instability in the magical economy!). The hosts brainstorm tooth‑fairy side hustles, mob tactics for late payments, and the emotional fallout for kids who discover Santa‑adjacent deception. We pivot to LA street theatre: a talented crosswalk performer earns a $5 tip for juggling and spinning a ball on a stick — living proof that the streets are a weird, brilliant talent pool. Then Two Tall Tales delivers jaw‑droppers: neighbor sightings that range from public puppy‑play at 2AM (consenting adults + many questions) to a backyard mime‑photography session featuring a naked model. JB’s best second‑hand tale takes things to another level with a Clone‑A‑Willy molding gone wrong (spoiler: temperature issues + a ruined keepsake). The episode closes with a “Low Blows” riff on sexist inventions—revealing the revolving door’s annoying backstory—and absurd satire tying kitchen gadgets, cookies, and social pressure into one final laugh. Stick around for listener callouts, email prompts, and all the recurring bits you love.Tour Dates: https://www.bradwilliamscomedy.com/Merch: https://brad-williams-store.myshopify.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BradWilliamsComic/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bradwilliamscomicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicX: https://x.com/funnybradChapters / Timestamps00:00 — Intro & welcome01:55 — Short Stories segment intro06:33 — Daughter loses first tooth / Tooth Fairy IOU story13:06 — Tooth‑fairy recession jokes & turning teeth into jewelry23:03 — LA street talent / juggling crosswalk performer (gave $5)36:46 — Two Tall Tales intro37:09 — Tale #1: Puppy‑play neighbors spotted at 2 AM44:18 — Reaction to producer’s photos / Puppy‑play Venn diagram jokes46:31 — JB’s neighbor stories (naked man posing for an invisible camera)49:22 — Clone‑A‑Willy story: molding mishap & ruined keepsake54:38 — Amazon gag: paint options for molds / sip & slurp craft jokes56:23 — Canvas & Cocktails / painting party bits59:19 — Call for listener neighbor stories (email us)01:07:15 — Segment: “Low Blows” (sexism, origins of the revolving door)01:16:13 — Revolving doors, airport hazards & Darwin’s revolving door01:18:33 — Easy‑Bake cookie satire & closing riffs01:23:36 — Episode recap & sign‑offcomedy podcast, Brad Williams, JB Ball, Heightened Babble, funny podcast, comedy YouTube, tooth fairy IOU, tooth fairy, parenting comedy, weird neighbors, puppy play, kink stories, neighbor kink, street performer, juggling crosswalk, clone a willy, adult product, adult comedy, NSFW podcast, neighbor stories, two tall tales, revolving door origin, sexist inventions, LA stories, comedy bits, comedy podcast 2026, podcast episode, standup podcastEmail / Submit StoriesSend “lies you told your kids” to: heightenedbabble@gmail.comProduced by: @IsaacAbrams

- Welcome To Heightened Babble with Brad Williams and JB Ball | Ep 01Jan 6, 2026 · 1 hr 3 minThis inaugural episode of "Heightened Babble," hosted by comedians Brad Williams and JB Ball, dives into a variety of unusual and humorous stories, highlighting the absurdities of life that often go unnoticed. The discussion begins with a lighthearted introduction of topics, including a blind man who shot someone and a bizarre auction incident involving a baby. The hosts aim to bring attention to these lesser-known stories while providing comedic commentary, making the episode both entertaining and insightful.One of the standout stories covered is that of former NFL player Matt Kalil's divorce, which was reportedly triggered by an unusual reason: his size. Kalil's ex-wife described his anatomy in colorful terms, likening it to "two Coke cans." This revelation sparked a humorous debate between Williams and Ball about the implications of such a claim on Kalil's post-divorce dating prospects.

Williams and Ball explore the idea of how such revelations could influence future romantic encounters, noting the existence of individuals who may seek out partners for unconventional reasons. They make light of the notion that each person's preferences can vary greatly, emphasizing the importance of understanding and navigating the complexities of attraction and relationships in a humorous yet thoughtful way.As the conversation progresses, the hosts examine the broader implications of the stories discussed, including the societal perceptions surrounding disability and relationships. They tackle the idea of gun laws for blind individuals by questioning whether different rules should apply, thereby igniting a discussion on the nuances of legislation and personal responsibility. The dynamic between Williams and Ball allows for a comedic yet insightful exploration of sensitive topics, showcasing their ability to balance humor with critical commentary.In conclusion, this episode of "Heightened Babble" presents an engaging mix of humor and social commentary, inviting listeners to reflect on the absurdities of life while celebrating the unique stories that often go unnoticed. Through their comedic lens, Williams and Ball encourage open dialogue about relationships, societal norms, and the complexities of human interaction, leaving audiences both entertained and contemplative about the world around them.#bradwilliams #JbBall #heightenedbabble #comedypodcastFollow JB and the show on youtube:@Iwritefunny1@HeightenedbabbleJoin the conversation by calling -323-272-3908 and leave us a mesage or email us: Heightenedbabble@gmail.com Brad's Tour Dates: https://www.bradwilliamscomedy.com/Merch: https://brad-williams-store.myshopify.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BradWilliamsComic/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bradwilliamscomicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradwilliamscomicX: https://x.com/funnybradProduced by @theisaacabramsshow at Minimum Focus Studios
