Brian McWilliams: You’ve Got to Be Funny If You Want People To Follow You into Anarchy

Get ready for a laugh riot with the hilarious and witty Brian McWilliams, who wears many hats—comedian, podcaster, and even "crusader of human rights.” According to Brian, comedy has this amazing power to make people laugh even if they don't agree, as long as it's brilliantly done. Comedy, at its core, is about merging two completely unrelated things and making them work like a well-oiled machine. Or, as Bart suggests, just make sure to equally annoy everyone when in doubt. 

 

Brian exposes the mythmakers and con-artists selling false dreams, while shedding light on what audiences genuinely crave. You can expect some shocking revelations about society's increasing coddling, making us all less resilient and self-reliant. Brian uncovers it all and even drops his "bad people theory." He doesn’t hate people, just bad people. 

 

And that's not all. Bart rolls up his sleeves and analyzes Brian's script to reveal Brian is so sloppy to ever become a serial killer. Bart explains that Brian has a mind like a cult leader. Brian admits to the location of buried bodies and other lies that are clearly comical fiction.

 

Laugh your way through mind-bending discussions with Brian McWilliams and Bart Bagget. This episode is a rollercoaster of wit, revelations, and a whole lot of fun!

Quotes

• “I’ve tried to piss off everybody equally. I think that's a good strategy because I’m not selective–I open my mouth and people get offended. Yes. Generally, as a general rule, it's been that way. So that was like five.(3:54-4:07 | Bart)
• “I want to get all the dictators out of there and put my own dictator in there and just make clones. I don't know what clones of me. You really want 500 of me, running around making children?” (4:32-4:45 | Bart)
• “The audience will laugh at something funny, even if they don't agree with it. You know this. You can make an audience laugh at something they don't agree with if it’s positioned well enough, if it's brilliant enough.” (6:23-6:31 | Brian)
• “Most of the time when people are already in a pit, they don't want you to tell them, ‘Oh, you got in this pit. Why? Because you tripped and fell over.’ They want to know what you can do to get them out and stop the pit from existing. They want to get out and they want to say, "What's the best way forward that's going to actually inspire me and give me something to believe in.” (9:26-9:42 | Brian) 
• “There's not a lot of resilience taught now. Everything's very coddled. We're talking about children and even adults, now. It's a coddling environment and that's not good for anybody. We're out this supposedly to protect people's best interest to keep everybody happy but it's really about compliance.” (16:51-17:07 | Brian)
• “To admit that COVID wasn't as bad as they thought they didn't have to lock down, that masks don't really have an effect, yada yada. To admit that means that they are bad people that they're interested in the damage and ruining of people's lives. And I don't think a lot of people's egos can handle that so I'll cling to the narrative.” (19:34-19:53 | Brian)
