Dad Fights, One-Star Reviews, and The Class Soiree | Heightened Babble Ep 37

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.
