Chris Porter | Taco Bell, Mountain Don't and Robbing SHAKE SHACK | Heightened Babble Ep 34

Brad 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.
