This Actually Happened with Chad McKenzie

This is the story of 2 Nazi brothers and how their petty rivalry led to the creation of two multi-billion dollar shoe brands worn all over the world. It also features ESPIONAGE, and BRIBERY, and me doing a TERRIBLE GERMAN ACCENT and MISPRONOUNCING THE NAMES OF GERMAN CITIES and THE ADVICE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN RICHARD SIMMONS IN 1980. Women will love it because it's about shoes. Men will love it because it contains many sports anecdotes. And ultimately nobody will love it because you can't be everything to everyone and I talk too fast and don't give the jokes room to breathe.    email:...
