Brent Weinbach (Conan! The Legacy Music Hour podcast!) is hands down one of the weirdest guests we’ve ever had. Pete felt conflicted about this conversation for DAYS after recording it because how do you navigate a person like Brent?! Holy cow. He out weirded our weirdest weirdness in a hilarious and fun way. Great ep, great guest, WEIRD TIMES WITH PAT HALMS.

“I was doing performance art at bars in San Francisco because I guess the comedy clubs were closing. So, there’d be something at “The Brainwash Cafe” or the “Chameleon” in the Mission… I remember there was this one transvestite poet and I was just fascinated! Like ‘You’re standing on stage, reading your poetry’ and I just loved it. But then Patton Oswalt would go up. But I didn’t know it was Patton, at that time I just thought, ‘Wait, What?’”
