Brad 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.
