Hearing Marc Summers (Somers?) say "bullshit" is something I didn't know I needed in my life....Cue the rainbows and butterflies.
-
I've heard Brad's story about his father a few times. The first time, I immediately found appreciation for him, his comedy and his story and his candor.
-
I found Brad Williams by accident on YouTube - absolutely hysterical!
-
If you were a Nickelodeon kid, Marc Summers was like America's dad! One of the best television hosts in history imo. I miss Nick of the 80s and 90s....Before things got too weird. Glad I grew up during a time when it was ok to be a kid AND stay innocent. Thank you for all the Double Dare, variations of that show and What Would You Do? memories!
-
Marc Summers is a legend. I didnt know this podcast existed. I am so excited š
-
I'm so glad Marc Summers has this show! I've been watching him since Double Dare!
-
One of the things I love about Brad, is that his humor is not deprecating. He can make dwarfism funny, without making himself look pitiful. His dad had a lot t do with that.
-
Ask Brad Williams if he traveled Northern California and stopped in Trinidad at a little cafe in a parking lot between 2005&2007ā¦A famous little man stopped in and commented on how clean our restroom was. Iāll never forget it as that was my jam to have a spotless restroom.
-
Now this is a fun size podcast.
-
Worst mistake was Howard Cossell, who was on the broadcast team, got very excited at Garrett's run and exclaimed, "Boy, look at that little monkey go." Needless to say that was Cossell's last Monday Night broadcast.

I loved how the conversation went to being different (Marcās OCD and Brad having dwarfism) and how that can really impact someone. I have OCD as well. Great stuff, I was sad when I didnāt see new episodes for a while. I loved how Bradās Dad handled his difference and empowered him.

This is one of my favorite interviews šš½

Hi! I enjoyed this comedian guest Brad Williams for his experiences very much! Especially his dad story, he sounded like a great man, and defense attorney, and father! Very admirable. I just discovered this comedian and enjoy watching and listening to him. A few jokes are uncomfortable because I am an old fashioned person, but I enjoy his wife very much. A great guest!
-
I have to say I really like this comic. Sometimes heās a bit racy with the language, but hilarious. I busted up so hard when Brad did the joke about amputeeās, because I am one. I lost my right leg July 2022, and I have Tons of one liners and jokes for amputeeās. I had to turn it around to cope with the physical and emotional pain of loosing a limb. I really enjoy Marcās show.
-
I only recently saw some of Brad's clips on Reels and I absolutely love him! Now, I learn he's a Denver Bronco's and Military fan which are my two favs as well! He's a very funny comedian and seems to be a very good person as well. I just love and admire him.
