Jonathan Zaslow's Couch, A Fake 49er & The Gas Station Teacher | Heightened Babble Ep 36

Brad 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.
