Brad Williams | Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan
Neal Brennan interviews Brad Williams (New special: Live on Short Street) about his experience living with dwarfism, the guilt he felt after his daughter was born with the same disability, how he learned to reframe his thinking and approach parenting in a positive manner, the arc of his standup career, why Ari Shaffir said no one wants to follow him on stage, the fears no one else sees (why Brad won’t drink around drunk people), his marriage, and much more.

Does this mean we get fewer blocks this week?

The short jokes were so annoying. I assume you got Brad's permission to do them. Still pissed me off.

Glad to see Brad open up and talk about what he faces. I've been a fan of his work for a while now and have seen him live. Such a good dude and super funny. I strive to have his positive outlook.

Brad missed the opportunity when asked if he considers his dwarfism a disability. Should have said yes but I realize compared to others it is the lowest step on the ladder.

Brad has such a good sense of humor about being a little person. He is a comedian after all. But not all famous little people are cool about it. Not saying they are right or wrong . Just saying iv seen Peter Dinklage and I got the feeling your on egg shells around him. Maybe I misread it and I'm not in his shoes so he is definitely with in his rights to feel how he feels about it. I think either approach is a challenge I could never really understand. I guess I'm saying don't be trying to pick up little people . Show some fkn respect you animals.
