The Baked Bean Community is Coming for Brad Wenzel

In this episode of Stop It, Zach and Brad spiral from a Reddit CO2 hallucination story into a full-on baked beans controversy that could anger an entire community. What starts as a casual riff turns into a passionate anti–bean slop manifesto, and things only get weirder from there. They debate the most relatable Batman villain, argue over Ninja Turtle loyalty, swap haunted comedy club stories (including an alleged ghost named Pork Pie), and discuss whether anyone should ever willingly enter a submarine again. There’s also a deep dive into underrated cities for stand-up and an unsettling exploration of what chairs would look like if our knees bent the wrong way. It’s absurd, conversational, and exactly what happens when two comics follow every tangent to its logical (and illogical) conclusion. Brad Wenzel is one of the sharpest joke writers working today.
