audio adventure here on Insight. I'm Chris VanVleet. Thank you so much for listening

wherever you are and whatever you happen to be doing right now. Brett Ernst is hilarious.

And he's been crushing it as a stand-up comedian for the last 25 years. He's also one of the

stars of Cobra Kai on Netflix where he plays Cousin Louie. And this is a deep cut for you.

But he was also one of the commentators for Wrestling Society X on MTV for the one season

that it was on the air. But what a great show it was. Behind all of that, behind all of

the success is a story of grit and determination of how he was able to get to the point that

he's at in his career. And I didn't expect it, but this conversation is so incredibly

inspiring. You can find Brett on social media. He's at Brett Ernst. That's Brett with

one tea. You can find me. I'm at Chris VanVleet. That is also with one tea. And let's dive

right into it. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Brett Ernst.
