Defenders of the Yeast, Bill Gates' "Water" & Fake Kidnappings | Heightened Babble Ep 25

Join comedians Brad Williams and JB Ball for another hilarious episode of Heightened Babble! This week, the dynamic duo celebrates some truly bizarre holidays including National Detroit Style Pizza Day, National Pink Day (for the singer, of course), and National Hydration Day. But the real celebration? National Let It Go Day - and Brad reveals his airplane philosophy when it comes to following that advice.

The episode kicks into high gear as Brad and JB finally dive into their first-ever voicemails! After weeks of waiting, the Nanas (that's you, the listeners) have delivered with theme song submissions and Mount Rushmore delegation picks. Count Boogie drops an original jingle that gets the guys' approval, while listeners James and Trish submit their picks for Black and White delegations - plus Trish introduces an entirely new Women's Mount Rushmore that includes Tammy Duckworth, Simone Biles, RuPaul, and Lady Gaga. The guys debate everything from whether gymnastics is actually a sport (JB has OPINIONS) to why Weird Al Yankovic absolutely needs to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.
