Making Kevin Brennan Cry

Here at Breuer Unleashed, we're all about helping people. There was the Disneyland Intervention back when Breu took one too many vacations to "Mouschwitz", and of course the recent attempts to convert Lou's bald pate to a head of thick, lustrous hair.

Recently Pete called good friend of the show and hilarious comedian Kevin Brennan to let him know that they show they were headlining at Comix that weekend had a mere 8 reservations. He found that Kevin was already feeling more than a little down after a disaster with a microphone on Letterman... I believe his exact words were "suicide watch". Obviously the only solution was to invite Kevin on the show and try to make him cry.

A variety of tactics were used to try and induce the "weep therapy". We provided him with a teddy bear, incense, tissues, tea, and wine to set the mood. But Brennan was a brick. That's when it was time to bring out the big gun; Shaka's song "Keep On Breathing". Kevin made it through most of the song stonefaced until the line "my sister died" at which point he uttered an "oh no"-- perhaps the most emotional Kevin Brennan gets. Here he is trying to appease the guys by clutching his teddy bear and listening to Shaka's song... note the complete lack of tears.
