    I love the show but sometimes I can’t even finish listening because Brian is oblivious to life and always has some dumb take that’s over the top and typically a lie

Q: What was the turning point that allowed you to pursue stand-up full time?
He describes leaving physical therapy and choosing to headline and tour after exposure from MTV shows and building a national audience, realizing comedy was his path despite the risks and long hours.
Fan Favorite Episode 321 BEST OF 2017
Q: Bryan, do you think Michael fondled Chuck Liddell's balls last night in the green room, or did he just power bump him?
There was a shift in the atmosphere, and Michael got flustered around Chuck Liddell, turning the vibe significantly. Bryan humorously suggested that the mood shifted dramatically upon Chuck's arrival and that Michael could have stumbled in his words during their encounter.
