Okay.
Are you garbage?
My wife is going to be watching this just going like, yes!
Just say yes!
He's garbage!
I need the validation!
We do a lot of pre-show meth before you get here.
No kidding!
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Okay.
I got to kick my stutter on the back burner and really figure out how to keep
up with y'all.
Just get a cup of coffee.
Let's go.
Buddy, thank you so much for coming in, man.
We wanted to have you for a while.
Yeah.
Well, I'm a West Coast guy.
Yeah.
You guys are on the East Coast, but I'm doing a little East Coast run, doing
some shows
out here, doing some appearances.
There you go.
And honored to be stopping by here.
Past four fake Burberry bag salesmen on the way here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's nice.
There's a lot of counterfeit goods floating around this neighborhood.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys like-
They're all ours.
Pick up something for the wife.
Tell her it's legit.
I might.
It's legit.
I'm making money now, baby.
Get a nice Burberry scarf.
Don't look at the label.
Don't look at it.
It's got two B's in it.
Just trust me.
It's Burberry.
Yeah, Burberry.
It's two B's.
It's fine.
And yeah, I'm a West Coast guy, like I said.
So walking into the studio where the door is like, you got to know a guy to
find the door.
Sure.
It doesn't look like an office door.
It looks like the portal to hell.
Soup dumpling place.
Yeah.
Walking through the back.
Yeah, they're right upstairs.
Yeah, exactly.
So I'm getting the full experience.
I have yet to almost be hit by a car, slam the hood, and yell out, I'm walking
here.
I'm hoping that'll happen.
But not the hit by a car thing.
It's very dangerous.
Four foot four.
I don't think they'll stop.
Yeah.
I just think they'll assume I'm a pigeon.
And just.
We had a deal.
Yeah.
And just do the thump thump.
And that's the end of Brad.
Jesus Christ.
Give us the back story.
Give us the origin story of Brad Williams.
Where did you grow up?
Tell us the whole deal.
You're a West Coast kid, right?
Yeah, West Coast kid.
Born and raised in Orange County, California.
What?
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Some people think I'm garbage just based on that alone.
That's rich people country, isn't it?
It is.
And that's the end of that.
Quite the flex.
All right.
Yeah.
You know, there are a lot of comics come up here and say like, oh, I had a
troubled childhood.
I had a horrible.
We were bawling.
I had a horrible childhood.
I like this.
Not me.
That's great.
What did you remember dad do?
We rarely get these, so this is great.
Yeah.
What did the folks do?
Dad was a good lawyer.
Really?
A lawyer.
A defense attorney.
Ooh.
A defense attorney.
He kept him out of jail.
What kind of clients was he?
Was it like corporate or like, you know?
Private.
Private.
Yeah, well, like he was a public defender for a while, so that's just whoever
comes in
and can't afford an actual attorney.
They always make that move, though.
Then they cash it in.
Yeah, they cash it out.
And then they move to the private firm.
Yeah, that's what happens when you work for like, you know, you work for like
the fucking
stock exchange as like a regulatory person.
You go cash it in at J.P. Morgan.
Yeah.
Give me my money.
Yeah.
Then you start some firm with like four last names in a row.
Uh-huh.
And all those four guys are dead.
Yeah.
So was he a, there was a Williams in it?
There wasn't a Williams.
Oh, okay.
But so it was not a Williams, but he did.
That's good for when the feds come night.
Yeah.
Exactly.
My name's working.
That, yeah, when they raid the place or when.
Just grab a broom and act like you're the janitor.
Yeah.
When they're repping Harvey Weinstein, you don't want your last name clumped in.
Like, oh, you know, famed attorney Pete Williams from the famed law firm, Talmud,
Simpson,
Young, Selenor, and Williams.
You're like, ah, fuck.
Fuck.
That's me.
They give you the promotion right before you get busted.
I had to make partner.
Fuck.
Yeah, exactly.
So yeah, grew up in Orange County, played a lot of golf growing up.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Golf kid.
A lot of golf.
Hold on.
Take a step back.
Did your mom work?
No.
So your dad's killing it.
Dad's killing it.
He's doing well.
I love it.
Dad's doing well.
Where are you playing this golf?
At a country club?
Private.
Private course.
Look at this guy.
Come on.
He's still got the hat.
What do you think?
I look like the caddy.
I look like a caddy or the guy that stands out in front of your Philadelphia
home holding
the ring.
The thing that always got run over at Home Alone.
Uh-huh.
That thing.
Yeah.
Got back home three times.
I'm actual size.
But yeah, dad was big on golf, so I knew that in order to hang out with dad,
you got to
play golf.
So I played a lot of golf.
How many times a week are we talking?
Dad played.
Here's the thing.
If I had a game or a thing on Saturday, dad was not there.
He's hitting a link.
That's his game.
That's a good rich dad right there.
Now, if it's Sunday, all over it.
He's there.
He's bringing a cheering section.
Dad of the year.
He'll bring snacks.
Okay.
But Saturday, sorry.
That's a standing tee time over at the club.
I don't know what to tell you.
And then I got to get drunk with the fellas.
I got to scramble to get through.
I got to hit on a waitress and a beverage cart lady.
Whoa.
Take it easy.
Yes.
How nice of a country club are we talking here?
It's not where the Illuminati hangs out, but where it's the Illuminati's
accountant hangs
out.
Okay.
That's pretty good.
So it's pretty good.
That's not bad.
They got a pool, all that shit?
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, they got a pool.
Country club kid.
Okay.
Country club.
Like I said, I'm not going to be the vanilla ice guy where I come on here and
be like,
it was hard growing up in these mean streets.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nah, Orange County's pretty good.
The mean streets of Laguna.
We were doing well.
What's up?
Any brothers or sisters?
Yes.
Got one sister.
I'm the black sheep of the family as a comedian.
She's partner at an accounting firm.
No shit.
Yeah.
So she's doing all right.
She got into Stanford, turned it down for a full academic scholarship to USC.
Damn.
So yeah.
And then I went to USC because they felt sorry for me and they needed a
diversity hire.
Hey, a win's a win, baby.
Hey, I got in.
The kid's in.
Let's go.
That's it.
Don't say that on the degree, baby.
Let's go.
Oh, well, if I had a degree, I dropped out.
Do your parents still live in the same house that you grew up in?
Mom just moved out.
Not to take the story a little dark, but dad passed away two years ago.
Sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
So when dad passed, mom didn't want to be in the house.
Sure.
So downgraded to a lovely small home in Huntington Beach.
Seven bedrooms.
Only seven.
Something small I can manage.
Only seven.
In Huntington Beach.
Huntington Beach.
All right.
Yeah.
So a lot of angry white conservatives there.
There you go.
So that's our surroundings.
So we like to ask people what the name of the street was that they grew up on.
And since no one lives there, tell us.
Yucca.
Yucca?
Yucca Lane or Avenue?
Yucca Avenue.
Kenish Boulevard?
What's going on?
They're yucca trees.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't even know what a yucca tree is.
That's how poor we are.
It's not what you say when you see the street.
Okay.
What was the house like?
Big house?
They call it tri-level.
It's a fancy word for three-story.
Okay.
Yeah.
There was one room as you enter the front door, you turn to your right.
There's a room that's a very lovely living room.
It was always very well decorated.
My family and I called that the Christmas room because that's the only time we'd
go in there.
Really?
It was just on Christmas.
That's where the tree was.
That's where the tree was.
That's where you sat.
That's a little bit of Christmas room.
Yeah, Christmas room.
That east wing is deep, man.
Here's the thing though, but then my dad, we were doing well, but in the summer,
first
of all, we had to beg my dad to finally get air conditioning in the house.
Really?
Beg.
Beg.
When he finally did, you could never run that thing.
That shit cost money.
Jesus.
That shit cost money.
Damn.
Man, no AC?
No AC.
In Orange County?
In Orange County.
That's crazy.
No coastal breezes, so I wasn't, I, you know.
We weren't the richest family on the block.
We weren't the richest family.
We did okay.
Financially comfortable, but inside very uncomfortable.
Yeah, we did just fine, as my, Finan, as my dad always describes, upper middle
class.
You know, like, so not middle class, not rich, upper middle class.
What was your car whipping, what was your dad whipping around town?
