Brad Williams and JB Ball open Episode 45 hyping Jay-Z's Super Bowl halftime show and guessing surprise guests, before covering National Vanilla Cupcake Day, Sesame Street Day, and Area Code Day (cue a Ludacris tangent). The real highlight is Tracy Morgan's birthday, sparking Tracy legend stories and a love letter to superfans like Spike Lee, Jack Nicholson, and the viral "Front Row Amy." After tour and Patreon shoutouts, First Class Mail kicks off with listeners pushing for more inclusive zombie-movie representation. Brad revisits his worst wedding stand-up set, only for JB to top it with a disastrous gig at a nudist resort. Listener wedding stories follow — a mistimed fart, "HELP ME" groom shoes, and a hula-dancing groom stealing his own wedding — plus the "999 Challenge" and a run of brutal one-star reviews, capped by someone's one-star review of the moon.

Two Tall Tales starts with this year's funniest college basketball names, honoring Brad's late father's love of odd sports names. The headline story: a Giants fan laughed so hard at a botched field goal that it triggered a seizure, leading doctors to find and remove a brain tumor. The hosts riff on classic NFL blunders before swapping rescue stories of their own — JB saving a drowning kid, Brad pulling a girlfriend off a pool ledge, and a neighbor fending off a dog with a sword — before wrapping with calls for weird family names and more "saved a life" stories.

Welcome to Episode 44 of Heightened Babble Brad Williams and JB Ball start with a vote reminder and a round of National Sandwich Day, World Jellyfish Day and National Cliché Day. They celebrate Dolph Lundgren and Osamu Tezuka, and Brad plugs the Tall Tales tour.First Class Mail is a rundown of Nana-submitted stories about running into teachers in unexpected places: drugs, strip clubs, medical settings, drunk in public, and adult films, toys, brothels and swingers. It ends with a teacher who became "Mrs. Robinson" on OnlyFans and recognized Johnny Sins as her former 10th-grade student. The guys agree teachers should be paid more.In Too Tall Tales, a man dressed as Jesus is accidentally lifted 100 feet by a crane at an Easter event in Seoul. That leads to Brad's parasailing story with Jo Koy and a debate about shark attacks. The second story is about Nevada, a 3-year-old soccer phenom whose game drew a police call. His GoFundMe had passed $42,000 when the hosts checked, and they ask fans to write "Let a Nana know, Nevada" in their donation comments.Support Nevada's GOFUNDME:https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-nevadas-soccer-journeySend your stories and answers to heightenedbabble@gmail.com or leave a voicemail at (323) 272-3908.

Brad 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
