Ever wondered what it feels like when a comedian bombs a set? Now you don’t have to, because I walk you through it in real time… literally, while walking through Central Park. In this episode, I talk about my first stand-up set in a while and how it did not go how I wanted. I also recap the back-to-back chaos of prepping for a DJ gig and a comedy set on the same week, the stress that came with it, and why I'd still do it all over again. This is part confession, part therapy walk, and part reminder that chasing creative highs isn't always a walk in the park.Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!Instagram: @imWillBryant https://www.instagram.com/imwillbryant/YouTube: @imWillBryant https://www.youtube.com/@imwillbryantX (Twitter): @imWillBryant https://x.com/imwillbryantTiK ToK: @imWillBryant https://www.tiktok.com/@imwillbryant?lang=enTheme Song Credit:"Endless Summer" by Loxbeats | https://soundcloud.com/loxbeatsMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License

88. Pressing Play Again
This week, Will is back behind the decks — literally and metaphorically. He's recording from his DJ setup and talking about how he first got into DJing, chasing creative dreams, and what it’s like pressing play again after hitting pause for way too long. Will gets into how being a self-taught DJ has lead to imposter syndrome, what it was like going back to school in your thirties, and that weird pull some of us have toward performing — whether it’s music, comedy, acting, or just craving a little attention for our creativity in some way. This is part story, part pep talk, and part accountability. Let’s hit play.Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!Instagram: @imWillBryant https://www.instagram.com/imwillbryant/YouTube: @imWillBryant https://www.youtube.com/@imwillbryantX (Twitter): @imWillBryant https://x.com/imwillbryantTiK ToK: @imWillBryant https://www.tiktok.com/@imwillbryant?lang=enTheme Song Credit:"Endless Summer" by Loxbeats | https://soundcloud.com/loxbeatsMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License

87. This Guest Isn't Real (But the Conversation Is): De-Mystifying A.I.
In this episode, Will sit down with an unusual guest—ChatGPT... or as our host affectionately nicknamed it, Chattie. They start off talking about Black Mirror, AI anxiety, and why the future feels like it’s happening faster than we can process. Then we get into how Will actually use ChatGPT in real life, the ethical gray areas around AI, and what it means for creativity going forward. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already in a committed situationship with artificial intelligence, this one’s a fun and honest look at the weird tech we're all trying to figure out.Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!Instagram: @imWillBryant https://www.instagram.com/imwillbryant/YouTube: @imWillBryant https://www.youtube.com/@imwillbryantX (Twitter): @imWillBryant https://x.com/imwillbryantTiK ToK: @imWillBryant https://www.tiktok.com/@imwillbryant?lang=enTheme Song Credit:"Endless Summer" by Loxbeats | https://soundcloud.com/loxbeatsMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License

85. Two Wild Weeks
No guest this week as your host Will Bryant has a lot to talk about after the wildest 2 weeks he's ever experienced @ The Comedy Cellar, and perhaps the most legendary 2 weeks the establishment has ever experienced in it's entire 40+ year existence! First up, we had an influx of surprise celebrity drop-ins, as stars from SNL 50 popped by the club while in town. Then, things took an even crazier turn when the Comedy Cellar closed for a few days to accommodate a Hollywood film shoot by none other than Bradley Cooper. The best part? The entire staff, including me, got the chance to appear as ourselves in the film! Tune in to hear all the wild stories from the past two weeks, including my "feature film" debut as an extra in a Bradley Cooper movie!Follow @imWillBryant on all platforms!Instagram: @imWillBryant https://www.instagram.com/imwillbryant/YouTube: @imWillBryant https://www.youtube.com/@imwillbryantX (Twitter): @imWillBryant https://x.com/imwillbryantTiK ToK: @imWillBryant https://www.tiktok.com/@imwillbryant?lang=enTheme Song Credit:"Endless Summer" by Loxbeats | https://soundcloud.com/loxbeatsMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License
