86. I don't know if you have heard of Brad Williams...

Aug 2015

He's a comedian who I do like and actually met after a show one time. He's 4'2. He had a bit where he was talking about how he did a show with Bob Saget one time. And John Stamos and Dave Coulier were hanging out with him back stage. And Saget told Brad that John Stamos is absolutely terrified of little people. So Saget gets the idea to have Brad go in and start humping Stamos' leg. And then he comes in and starts laughing his ass off. Then Dave Coulier busts in and says something completely ridiculous that I can't remember, but it was pretty funny.
