Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Doug Stanhope podcast. You want to start with the tape? Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone. No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone. Have your cell phone up in your butthole at all times. Can you pick up the phone when I call? I only call when it's an emergency.
Starting point is 00:00:37 I have done everything you've said. Everything you asked me to say, I did. I trust you and I trust Doug. Here's the deal. Finn Scott, that motherfucker from Australia, is posting video from Panamint on YouTube. And Doug and you and Shaylee and everyone said, don't bring a video camera to Panamint. And now he's posting shit without asking me.
Starting point is 00:01:06 You know, it's edited wrong at the beginning, and the end starts off fucked up. I mean, come on. This is bullshit. You can't post video from Panamint unless we all agree, or, you know, unless somebody calls me, and, you know, we look at a video or something. This is bullshit.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I call Doug. He's not answering the phone. I send you an email. I send him a Twitter. I mean, you know, I messaged Ben Scott. He's not getting back to me. This is wrong, you know, because, I mean, I know all kinds of shit about you and Doug. I can post everything.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Really. Honestly, I've never badmouthed you on the fucking internet. I've never said negative shit about you on Twitter. Or Doug. I mean, this is bullshit. I'll drive out to Bisley tomorrow. I'll do another
Starting point is 00:01:58 goddamn podcast, you motherfucker. Oh my God, you midget alien motherfucking goddamn toothless fucking elf midget piece of shit. Call me back
Starting point is 00:02:14 or fucking Doug, call me back or something. He's an alien. You're both aliens. You're both in the goddamn CIA. Fucking call me back. And James Inman wasn't lying. He will come to Bisbee to do a podcast again.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Welcome James Inman, everyone. Hey! Welcome, James. Welcome back. That was just one of several voicemails. That was to Brian Hennigan. He's the midget, toothless elf. I believe he does have teeth and stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:50 That would mean, look, I was drunk, all right? It wasn't mean if he has teeth. I don't drink every day like you do. I just happened to be drunk, and I snapped, all right? That's my defense. You have a similar problem to me where you don't appear any different when you're drunk. That didn't sound drunk. That just sounded like Inman.
Starting point is 00:03:14 That sounded normal. That could have been 830 in the morning on your way to work with your work shoes. It's a character that I play only around you. All right. I'm actually a nice person in real life. Yeah, yeah. But don't do that on the podcast. All right.
Starting point is 00:03:30 So let's back up. I guess like 12 years to where this started. This was when Bingo and I were on a train trip. I had my cell phone off, didn't have my laptop, avoiding everything. Ten days on the train. But I would turn on my cell phone just to make sure if it was an emergency, Chaley would call me. But I got messages from you.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Call me! It's a fucking emergency! You're putting up videos from 12 years ago. Right, but the video sucked. Okay, for the listener, we brought up those old Death Valley parties a million times. So there was a clip Ben Scott, our friend who now lives in Australia, put up that you were going fucking...
Starting point is 00:04:20 It's an emergency. There's something on YouTube. Right, right. Because everyone was... What was the because everyone was what was the full story because everybody i got into an argument about roseanne barr on facebook everybody was calling me a racist just because i defended roseanne barr i was defending free speech all right that doesn't even make me all right all right so right around the same time this happened, when everyone was ganging up on me, then Ben Scott posted this video.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And I'm like, Jesus Christ, it's endless. I can't get away from this. Tell us what the video was. It was like we were sitting around and joking, what's the most offensive joke you've ever told on stage? And so, you know, we're all drunk. But see, back then is different from now. You say the wrong thing now, you can lose
Starting point is 00:05:11 everything. You know, just like Roseanne, just like Alex Jones. I mean, they're censoring everybody now. Are you going to take away your hat? Right. So, it's like this, you know, this will go down on your permanent record. Remember when Twitter used to be fun where you just write shit and it just like still is.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Right. But well, the way you explained it to me, because he did take that video down before I could ever see it again. This was I was on vacation for a long time. Right. And I'm not on Facebook, so I don't know what's going on. All I know is he posted a video. Right. Where there is a video.
Starting point is 00:05:51 When you go, there's a rule. Right. There is a video of me drinking piss. Who posted that on YouTube? That slipped through the cracks. That was a camera. That was when cameras first came on phones and what's his name?
Starting point is 00:06:08 The guy that used to work for MySpace. Who posted it on YouTube? That was back before. I don't even know. What? But no, I mean. After I saw it, I posted it. Of course. You posted it.
Starting point is 00:06:22 So what? Greg, when was this posted? Fuck you When was it posted? 2012 2012, you posted it Yourself Knowing you're on camera
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, what is your point? The point is, someone who posted this Wasn't even supposed to have a camera. You were performing for cameras. Right. This video is funny. The shit that fucking Australia dumb fuck posted wasn't funny. Forgot his name.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Ben Scott. Yeah. Ben posted, and you explained this to me finally when we had you coming out for the podcast. They cut out the opening part of everyone tell your most offensive joke and they just cut to you telling an offensive joke that you thought was going to put you in the same
Starting point is 00:07:16 racist brand as Roseanne Ballard. Now tell me the joke that you told on that clip. The joke was do you know, it's actually a misogynist joke. You ever kill, guys, you know, help me out, guys. You ever kill a girl just to get her attention? Do you ever notice whichever way you move her head, it always seems like she's looking away.
Starting point is 00:07:43 That was the joke. Which is not racist in the least. No, but... Unless she's black. But you can hear Emory in the background. I mean, why should I try to explain what was going through my head that night when I was drunk and it was just chaos anyway?
Starting point is 00:08:00 What does it matter? It was craziness. You know? Not something that's going to send pitchforks to the old James Inman household. I don't know. I mean, you know, you get in a philosophical argument about current events on Facebook, and next thing you know, people are calling you a racist, and then a video comes on. I've already been banned off of Facebook for 30 days. What would you rather be, known as a piss drinker or a racist?
Starting point is 00:08:27 A piss drinker. Okay, well, that's what you're known as. Okay, so this is how it starts. I'm on vacation with a lovely wife in a nice sleeper car on Amtrak, avoiding my phone. And then I get these messages. And then later emails. I have a string of emails here, James. No, Steve.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Why do you do that? That's the other thing that you do that I don't understand why you have to do that. When I send an email to you, that email goes to you. Why do you think everyone else wants to hear it? You always have forwarded my email like, look what James Inman wrote. It's like, why do you do that? You see Brian Hennigan in a lot of these. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:12 If I did, that's when I wanted him to read that. To be fair, as part of the CIA, those are public information. Oh, come on. Whatever. It starts soft. I was getting these voicemails, basically the Whatever. It starts soft. I was getting these voicemails, basically the same.
Starting point is 00:09:28 They're redundant. But this is the first one, July 23rd. I'm on a train. You had called me. I didn't answer. So you took that as a personal affront and then went over my head to my manager, Brian Hannigan, and said, God damn, are you sleeping? What good are you?
Starting point is 00:09:46 People are uploading video of Panaman. That's at 1601, which is, I guess, 401 military time. 23 minutes later, 23 minutes later, yeah, you email Brian Hannigan again and say,
Starting point is 00:10:01 With the shit I know about Doug, I can bring down your entire empire. Test me, bitch. Call me back or call Ben Scott. He's uploading video of Panaman. I seriously don't think you need to be fucking with me right
Starting point is 00:10:18 now because I can fuck you big time. I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. Oh, Jesus Christ. We'll get to that at some point. What, Doug? You've never done anything stupid when you're drunk? No.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's pretty funny. You've never said anything stupid? I don't remember a lot of it, but when they tell me in the morning, I laugh. Can we get him to be on the mic, Doug? Don't worry. Where's the trash? I hate this. Can we get him to be on the mic, Doug? Yeah, don't worry. I'm reading.
Starting point is 00:10:47 No, I mean, he's not even, he's not, I'm getting low levels on him. This one you sent to Brian Hennigan and CC'd me and Chaley. I know you check your email all the time. Call Ben Scott. Tell him to take that video down. You don't ever want to fuck with the village idiot. Okay, that was an hour and a half later to all three of us. He finally gets on the mic and spits all over him.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I'm a writer, all right? When I'm mad, I'm able to put my feelings into words. So I just say the most fucked up shit I could think of oh this oh you oh you do next and this is where again i'm still on a 10-day train trip oblivious to all the facebook and at some point you wrote a diatribe that you emailed to me and then posted publicly on facebook why would you forward my email exactly that's why i did do that right because after i wrote that email i was like fuck him he forwards my emails to everybody i'm gonna take this and put it on my web page okay and yeah and the backs but i don't chad i
Starting point is 00:11:58 don't do who who started the go fund me i caught up with all of this so late, but someone started a GoFundMe page because they thought your Facebook rant that's... I'll look it up and tell you. But a guy on Facebook... Because my end of it, I didn't know any of this stuff, was that James said he unfriended everybody. People started tagging me and things saying, oh, James unfriended everybody on Facebook because he's upset with everyone. When that happened, everyone was like, what's going on? And then they read the thing.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Yeah, they read the thing. But I'll tell you why I did that too also, but go ahead. Well, then I was on Facebook. People were tagging me on it because apparently I got unfriended or otherwise I wouldn't have known. And then at some point when the rant was posted in the comment section, somebody said we should set up a GoFundMe
Starting point is 00:12:51 for Chad Shank to read James Inman's rant. Like an audio book. Right. And somebody set it up. Somebody set it up. And you made over $1,000. Right. And that's when I woke up the next morning and I said,
Starting point is 00:13:06 oh, Chad Shank is making $1,000 for reading what. Don't get ahead of yourself. The funny part. Don't. Well, after this, you can tell us what happened the next morning. But first, Chad. Right. And you can defend this.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Well, all right. I don't know. I guess I could read it two different ways. I did get paid a lot of money to read it, and it's pretty short. But I can read it and try to give Inman the authority that he probably wanted it to have. Dear Doug Stanhope, I'm tired of being your friend, and I'm tired of your fucking husband. Okay, hold on so that
Starting point is 00:13:48 or I could try to read it the way that the rest of us why don't you let me read it I'll read the goddamn thing well he got paid to read it so we have to do your job no fuck it
Starting point is 00:14:04 I'm tired of being your friend and I'm tired of your your job. Dear Doug Stenner. No, fuck you. I'm tired of being your friend. And I'm tired of your fucking friends and fans. I hate the fact that Brian can't pick up the goddamn phone when I call. So, it's up to you guys. No, fuck you. No, no.
Starting point is 00:14:20 The way that I hear it. Whenever I read it. That is bullshit. You're gonna hear it. Just read it however the listener can hear all the details. Like a normal human.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's the content that the people need to hear. Dear Doug Stanhope, I'm tired of being your friend, and I'm tired of your fucking friends and fans. I hate the fact that Brian can't pick up the goddamn phone when I call, or when there's a fucking emergency. I don't care anymore.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I'm tired of you making fun of me, and all your friends making fun of me. I fucking hate you, and Brian, and Shaylee, or however you spell his fucked up name. I can't think of one friend of yours outside of Andy or Messica that I can spend more than two seconds around without wanting to rip my ears off and scratch my eyes out. Oh my god, they're all so fucking stupid. They don't read, they don't think. Their hearts are filled with hate and every fucking word out of their mouth and your mouth is just mocking bullshit to me. I seriously don't
Starting point is 00:15:32 know why I loved you and supported you for so long. I was talking to Brenda the other day and I said, what does it matter that I'm friends with Doug? I've supported him. I've loved him. And I laughed when he made fun of me. What have I got out of this relationship? Nothing. Seriously, it hasn't helped my career at all. I don't have any more money or success now than before I met him.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I was actually doing pretty well on my own before I met you. All the crap that went down with the unbookables was total bullshit. You not only didn't help us at all, but you actively took steps to fuck shit up. All the crap that went down with the unbookables was total bullshit. You not only didn't help us at all, but you actively took steps to fuck shit up. You didn't tweet one goddamn thing about the movie when we cut on Comedy Dynamics. I fucking bawled my eyes out.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Hold on, I need a drink. Now you're just surrounded by self-absorbed cunts just like you. Mishka's an idiot cunt. I never liked Chaley, never liked Brian. What good are you? As a friend, who gives a fuck? We're all going to die anyway like Sean and Randy. I was just giving you time to drink. What?
Starting point is 00:16:44 You skipped a part, though. Oh, there's small differences between what he emailed me and Chase. Oh, is there? Yeah, because I corrected the spelling and grammar. I fucking bawled my eyes out over that, you cunt. Now you have fucking literal racists that love your act. I told you years ago libertarianism was bullshit.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Now you're just surrounded by self-absorbed cunts just like you. Mishka is an idiot cunt. I've never liked Shaley. Never liked Brian. What good are you? As a friend, who gives a fuck? We're all gonna die anyway, just like Sean
Starting point is 00:17:25 and Randy. I've had to be friends with your friends and act like I like them when you couldn't even be nice to my friend Jeff. One of the coolest, smartest guys I've ever met in my life. And you couldn't be cool with them. Fuck you. Goddamn, I'm just thinking of all the douchebags that I've had to deal with around you. Just total turds. But oh goddamn, god forbid a guy wants to make a documentary about the Unbookables, a group you created, a group you started, and you couldn't just be nice to him. He was smart enough to say fuck Doug, we can do this on our own. But you had to fuck shit up. All the people who love you the most, you treat like shit.
Starting point is 00:18:10 When someone drew a goddamn swastika on my forehead, you just laughed and didn't give a fuck when I was crying. Sorry, I was just picturing Edmund crying with a swastika on his forehead. and Craig. Didn't say one fucking thing to the loser cunts who did it to me. Who weren't even comics. They were just more of your stupid cunt fans. And this is where we're going to delete a name.
Starting point is 00:18:36 We're going to delete it because this is really fucking rude. So go ahead. Seriously. That lady. I wasn't even going to say it. I figured it would just go there. Seriously. You're friends with that fat whore?
Starting point is 00:18:50 Goddamn. She's got to be the biggest goddamn cunt idiot I've ever met in my life. Not one fucking word out of her mouth to me was ever nice. And you took her side over mine? Just because of a stupid prank? I thought you were the brilliant prankster i thought oh shit doug's gonna do something funny to get her back oh god no you just laughed at me and made me look like the dick i fucking hated you for that that is why i never went back to any of your parties then i have to ride back with your fucking idiot friend Becker and his stupid wife, who also made me feel like a dick.
Starting point is 00:19:32 You always made me feel like a loser because I never had money or I needed a ride to your shit parties with your shit friends. It's amazing I even showed up. I'm sorry, but I just can't get over that time you didn't have my back when they drew the swastika on my forehead. I can't forgive you for never at least trying to be
Starting point is 00:19:54 nice to Jeff, my best friend. Like I was nice to your friends. I can't wrap my brain around how you've never even tweeted about the unbookables. I fucking cried my eyes out over that, you cunt. God damn, I
Starting point is 00:20:09 hate you. And you are not my friend anymore. Fuck you, and fuck all your friends. Rebuttal James What? Um Yeah I mean That girl that
Starting point is 00:20:35 You deleted her name I mean yeah that's cool you deleted her name But yeah I was always nice to her I was always nice to her And she was never just just after that movie came out she hated my guts that's the part you picked to defend the first thing what um well i i like i mean there's a lot of stuff in there to defend
Starting point is 00:21:00 let me let me hey doug doug i've really got to get him to be on the mic he's just too far away from it. Yeah, just pull it. You can pull it towards you. That was just one thing. You know, I mean, there's a lot of things in there. It's just like that was the first thing off the top of my head. I can go beat by beat.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I was talking to Brenda the other day, and I said, what does it matter? I'm friends with Doug's. I supported him. What did I get out of this relationship? Nothing. Seriously, it hasn't helped my career at all. Is that what you looked for out of this relationship nothing seriously it hasn't helped my career at all is that what you look for out of my friendship I thought we were
Starting point is 00:21:29 closer well I mean why can't you just like when you're mad and you want to write something you just like why do you have to take it literally it's like this these are all my feelings if I can find a way to put them into words but there's no words so I'm just going to say this.
Starting point is 00:21:46 You know? I mean, it's not technically, it's not like it's mathematics, you know, where you can know exactly this is what James meant. It's just fucking... Well, I mean, there's undertones. Right. Technically, just because of this, because of being friends with Doug, I made a lot of money. Actually, I was just thinking in terms of what if I never met Doug and I just kept doing clean comedy and it wasn't an unbookable. I would still be on the road doing comedy and I don't care if it's hacky or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'd be happy. James, when we met in the 90s you were doing anything but clean comedy you were we feed you shots of jagermeister and watch you lay on your back and stomp your feet screaming at everyone on stage you didn't start doing clean comedy till after 9-11 when you get scared we've been been over this on previous podcasts. Well, I mean, when you say scare, of course nobody's going to talk about 9-11 on stage, but I mean, I don't know. I was just imagining what my life would be like
Starting point is 00:22:53 if I did just regular stand-up comedy and wasn't an unbookable, because it was a huge risk that I took to do this film, because it's all of a sudden, okay, you're an unbookable. That means you can't get, get work at funny bone or squiggly comics,
Starting point is 00:23:10 Mike and stool, you know, just to keep everyone listening up to speed. The, your best friend that you refer to Jeff was the director of the unbookable. Right. And so you said to me, you kind of warned me,
Starting point is 00:23:24 are you sure you want to be known as an unbookable comic? I mean, this might fuck up your career to where you can't get any work, you know? No, I think that was Brendan Walsh I said that to. And I didn't say it like that at all, but he was the bookable one of the unbookables. You already had a hard time getting booked. You already had a hard time getting booked. All the unbookables were called unbookables for different reasons. Erickson, very bookable, but he couldn't really take work because he had to keep a day job. He had kids and a divorce and a shared custody. Travis Lipsky was a fucking loose cannon. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Andy Andrist, obviously unbookable forever. But it was a risk. But you keep, and this has been a mainstay throughout our relationship since the unbookables, which came out, was that 2007 or 8? What's your point? My point is, well, you keep talking to me about not promoting the unbookables, which my name is attached to. Right, right, right. Are we talking about... Yeah. It's been 10 years. No, the movie technically does not come out until it gets a distributor.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Nobody knows what the fuck it is. It's just some independent film. Ask any filmmaker. Is Amazon not a distributor? Yes, that was our first distributor that you didn't give a fuck about when we got that you're eating peanuts that amazon brought us they distribute everything they're not real peanuts they're not real i was proud of that but i was not as proud when we got comedy dynamics i was proud of that the first distributor was
Starting point is 00:25:01 kind of like bullshit you know kevin booth helped us out with that oh yeah he helped me out with it right right kevin booth helped us get that distributor right and then i me and my manager from new york uh roger paul he was friends with the vice president of comedy dynamics and that's how we got on Comedy Dynamics. Alright. But regardless. Brian Hinnigan could have made one fucking phone call. And got us a distributor. But I had to do all the work. Alright.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I had to do all the work. You know. And to get us a real distributor. To make that a real movie. Wait. You just named a lot of people that aren't you. That talk to Comedy Dynamics. Do you remember who talked to them. the only premiere I ever went to?
Starting point is 00:25:47 You talked to them after I got the contract. I already got the contract. I seriously got the contract. I mean, from Comedy Dynamics. We talked that night because I... Before I told you I got the contract before I told you about Comedy Dynamics. I mean, because basically it was a matter of, oh, you know the vice president of Comedy Dynamics, Roger Paul?
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yes. Can you talk to him, give him this link, and I'll build a website and he'll watch the film. The guy watches the film, sends me the contract, I send it to Jeff, and then I call you to brag about it. We got the contract before you ever knew about it. I remember this differently, but this is not the point. The point is this 10-year-old movie, which I did look up hit movies from 2008 last night.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I Google searched Wall-E. That's a good one. Wall-E is good. Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia came out in 2008. You're trying to wind me up in 2008 because you know you know who doesn't promote those movies anymore the stars of those movies because nobody else is promoting it why not why can't i mean you know you promote your shit i mean you know you've got merch page
Starting point is 00:26:58 you guys should get uh no refunds it just came out 11 years ago. No, I don't do that. This is the only thing I got, and you want to mock that. I'm like, this is why I don't... Ah, my brain can't work. This is why I don't give a flying fuck that I wrote that. Because you have everything, and I'm mocking someone powerful, and I have nothing,
Starting point is 00:27:22 and yet you still mock me. I have one movie and you fucking make fun of it. You got all kinds of shit. And you have all this power. I wrote it. That's what I did for the last 10 years since no refunds.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I wrote new shit. That's not what I'm talking about. This movie is a project that I helped. This movie is something like the Greyhound Diary.
Starting point is 00:27:53 This is another thing that I'm in. This project thing, which you are a producer of. I don't know how that happened, but I know one name, Brian Hennigan. Right. When you were going to use the name Unbookables, he came in,
Starting point is 00:28:09 we can't let him do that because we own that title, the Unbookables. So then I became a producer. That's not how it happened. Well, Brian's not here to defend himself. The only people see this is a he said, she said.
Starting point is 00:28:26 That's all I remember is a girl in this. Are you the she? All right. There's a video online where I explain it. You must have been drunk the whole time. I can't wait to see that. I was too busy watching this video. I'm going in different places, but the rule is once you're on a roll, you should shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:28:43 You must have been drunk you must have been drunk the entire time this happened because i remember it differently all right oh i was giving you that credit is that my memory is suspect right what i remember is you calling me to tell me that you had this guy that wanted to produce the thing and you were going to do it right and i remember saying do whatever the fuck you want because I was busy doing other shit. Yeah, sure, do whatever you want. I can't do it. I can't be there. That's what I remember.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I remember Brian wanting to protect the name so he put his claws in. Do you remember signing the contract? I mean, you were there. No. People give you a contract. I just sign anything you put in front of me, James. Somebody gives you a contract. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:29:26 So if you put like a will that you had made up for my estate to go to you and go, hey, my friend from Kansas City wants your autograph. Will you just sign this? I would sign it without looking. That's the fucking lamest fucking argument I've ever heard in my life. We need to get my friend Jason Lindstrom. No, first of all, what you just said has a fucking argument. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:51 It's not an argument. I'm saying it. You're right. I'm sure I signed a contract. Right, right. My friend, Jason Lindstrom, who lives in Bisbee, that I befriended because of you. All right. That's another reason you have a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Is he one of the friends that you hate? Shut up. Or not hate? And, yeah, if he one of the friends that you hate shut up not hate and yeah if he was here me and all my friends here i would bring him in and go that's the lamest fucking argument i've ever heard in my life and he's an expert james it's not an argument i'm saying of course i probably signed a contract i don't know what it said i'd have a manager if someone if i signed something okay, I was not personally invested. We kind of knew that you weren't personally invested, right?
Starting point is 00:30:29 So I'm on the phone with Norm Wilkerson, and we're all like, well, it sounds like he wants to do the film. He didn't say no. And Norm goes, yeah, and it sounds like he doesn't want to help us. So what should we do, Norm? Let's just make it ourselves and just fuck it. We'll just make this goddamn movie. And you never stopped us. You never said, hey, stop filming that film.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I didn't. I didn't care. I didn't expect it would ever be still an issue 10 years later. I thought you'd just... Still an issue 10 years later? The film is a fucking cult classic for comedy okay this is where we're going did you like the film i love this yeah she's a lawyer and she's smart please hold well it's different now that sean rouse is dead and sean rouse is now her
Starting point is 00:31:18 favorite comic because of the unbookables and that's a great thing all right you're giving me the 30 minute mark i'm just letting you know we're at 30. Oh yeah, this is going to go forever. We have no advertising on this. I asked you what ad copy. You go, we don't have advertising. I said we're not recording it today. We just need to take a break. Just relax.
Starting point is 00:31:38 I don't want to take a break. This is where you wind me up. You don't have to take a break. I'm just telling you 30 minutes. You don't take a break right now. Let him go. Yes. The point I wanted to make about the unbookables,
Starting point is 00:31:52 whatever it is, you've tortured me forever for not promoting this. Just a tweet is all I asked. If you would have done that, I would have shut up. Okay. Do you know how many people will see a tweet? I don asked. If you would have done that, I would have shut up. Okay. Do you know
Starting point is 00:32:06 how many people will see a tweet? I don't care. It's just what's a trophy? A trophy is stupid. It's just this little thing. Wait, wait, wait. James, James, stay with me. Do you know how many people listen to this podcast? No. I believe
Starting point is 00:32:21 this is at minimum your seventh time on this podcast promoting the unbookables. I'm not here to promote it, Doug. I would talk about this regardless of these fucking microphones over here. I would say the same exact shit. All right? The point being, I have you on and you always promote your movie.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And that's tens of thousands. It's not my movie. You're the producer of this movie too. The point being, I have you on the podcast as a guest and then you promote what you have upcoming, which is always the same thing, the Unbookables. Oh, don't start it.
Starting point is 00:33:04 No, that's not true.'s tens of thousands and millions of downloads the one podcast in las vegas where i said okay i'm gonna bring this up because it's one of those subjects that nobody talks about you know when you have this family and grandpa is fucking um you know the daughter nobody wants to talk about it so that's that's why i brought it up just because you're a racist. Was that supposed to be a relatable analogy? I'm joking. It's a joke. Listen, to be fair,
Starting point is 00:33:31 to be fair, James, Charles Manson had a better chance of being released than your movie did. This is kind of funny. I like the unbookables. Alright, so I brought up the unbookables on the Las Vegas podcast. I have to make two quick points.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I'll try to make them quickly. All right. First of all, I've had you on this podcast. This is your seventh appearance at least where we always talk about the unbookables. At least give it a plug. And this is shitloads of listeners. If I tweeted right now, maybe 300 people would see that tweet and they disregard it. Second point is, yes, I did tweet about your movie
Starting point is 00:34:10 after discussing it behind your back on a podcast where I go, hey, maybe when you did the re-release, I said, maybe I'm just too close to the project. I want everyone to go on Amazon and watch this movie and give me your honest opinion right which that again goes out to fucking uh tens and dozens of thousands of that right and so it went so i did tweet right so it went from that level of bullshit distributor on amazon prime to another cooler level of comedy dynamics.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Comedy dynamics started because they bought all of Bill Hicks' material. All his CDs, all his DVDs. They got your stuff on there, and they got Kennison's stuff. And then the company exploded. The people that run comedy dynamics like edgy comedy.
Starting point is 00:35:01 They like Hicks. They like you. They like Kennison. And they like this film. And I was proud of it. That's why when it happened, I was like, oh my god! I called you up. I was like, Doug! We just signed a contract with Comedy Dynamics! My movie is like a fucking real comedy movie now!
Starting point is 00:35:17 We have a peanut gallery, we'll say. Have you heard of Comedy Dynamics Show of Hands? Not one. have you heard of comedy dynamics show of hands not one have you heard of amazon every single person you went from amazon to comedy dynamics you should go to uproar records next what's that one that you oh you want to hear the story about the cassette yeah you want to hear the stand-up record story? You want to hear that? I can't be on stand-up records.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Yeah, you don't want to hear that. No, I don't because we'd go down the same road and it's off topic and a million comics would join in. I just randomly pulled up reviews from the Unbookables from IMDb and this one says, If you know these guys, this is exactly what you want or expect. However, if you aren't familiar with any of the cast or Doug Stanhope's podcast, do some homework first.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Without being formally introduced to these characters, this might leave you baffled. It's true. But the main thing I got from it was that he got it from your podcast. Yeah. Oh, that's weird. That is weird. whatever i mean you know okay all right you want to talk about this speaking of winding me up all right so first of all you invited me on your podcast back when your podcast sucked it had like two people listening to
Starting point is 00:36:39 it all right and i all of a sudden had the number one podcast. I do it again. I have the fucking number one and number two podcast. Isn't that right, Shaley? Shaley tweeted that. Not at all. Shaley, you're fucking. Oh, you're lying now. You told me and you tweeted it. I'll tell you right now.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I can find the tweet right now where you tweeted James Inman has the number one and number two most downloaded Doug Stanhope podcast. Hey, maybe number two. You tweeted that. Now, number one is easy to swallow for you, but I don't think you're number two. Let him answer. Let him answer. Obviously, I'm pulling my weight here. Let him answer because we went through the numbers last night.
Starting point is 00:37:18 You, at the time, had a very popular podcast. But when I went back and actually looked at all the way back before we were with Audioboom, that we were on a different server, and then Remember, this is back when the podcast sucked. Fat Mike came on. That's the all-time
Starting point is 00:37:38 biggest. You're not even close to that. Alright. I'm just saying, Fat Mike from NoFX beat fucking Whiskey Girl Cliffhanger? They're all up in that top five thing. Okay. When you were on it, to be fair, I was probably fudging a little bit, but at the same time, you were a very popular podcast.
Starting point is 00:37:59 We had a lot of people that really talked about it. And a lot of people tweet. Right. They still do. All right. So I pulled my weight. Some don't. Okay. And those were the podcasts where I didn of people tweet. They still do. All right, so I pulled my weight. Some don't. And those were the podcasts where I didn't even mention
Starting point is 00:38:08 The Unbookables. All right, I just wanted to clarify the point that I've had you on more than any other guest to promote this same movie. No, no, no. You've had me on this podcast more than any other guest
Starting point is 00:38:21 because my podcasts are funny. You know why because the other people kiss your ass i'm the only guy that will argue with you but the point is agree with you when you're a guest on the podcast you promote whatever you want which is the one only single top of my mind point being you always we always talk about the unbookable so because it's if i go on howard on Howard Stern and we get into a fucking fight every time and everyone loves me, which
Starting point is 00:38:49 they don't, but then at the end they go hey, check out Doug Stanhope's unbookables because I only have one project. Okay, I've covered that. Let's get down to because we're still in your rant here. You hate every single person
Starting point is 00:39:05 and the fat whore. We did delete her name because that's just... She was mean to me. Okay. Well, everyone's mean to you at some point when you're mean back. She's the one that was behind
Starting point is 00:39:18 the whole swastika on my forehead. It wasn't even a swastika. We have pictures of it. It was something they drew. They wrote words on your forehead. When you were passed out, I swear, I just saw the picture. Hang on. Let me get to this part.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And if that lady you called a fat whore was here, I would have definitely let her respond. Oh, I would have moved. You just laughed at me, made me look like a dick. I fucking hated you. That's why I never went back to any of your parties. That's like a trout in a barrel.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Then I had a ride back with your fucking idiot friend, Becker, and his stupid wife, who also made me feel like a dick. You mean, yeah, because do you remember Becker and his stupid wife who also made me feel like a dick. What? He's sitting right next to you. Yeah, because do you remember?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Do you remember how we met? Do you remember? No, I'm going to go back because I want to remember the thing. So this is the Bisbee trip. But when we met was when you came to Cooch, you ruined the shows, and then you – Oh, now we're going to go through that again. And you lost our band car.
Starting point is 00:40:22 We found it three days later in Hooters parking lot with the keys in it. Okay, that's true. And you give me shit for bringing up damn bookables. No, that listen, I'm not. And you lost our band car. We found it three days later in Hooters parking lot with the keys in it. Okay, that's true. And you give me shit for bringing up damn bookables. No, that's true. You constantly bring this up. That's true, right? Yeah, well, you lost the band car. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Anyway, so the point is, you also, Sunday night, I was home with my wife. We were sitting there nice and comfortable at home because the week was over. And I got a phone call of a crying inman going, I missed my flight. I don't know how to leave. I don't know what to do. I had to go to the airport in a cab because I was drunk and go get you on a plane like a fucking nine-year-old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Later, when you're in Bisbee, you need a ride to the airport. We happen to be leaving. So what was the big problem? Oh, that's right. You had to put the car in long-term parking because our flight left at 11. You left at 4 in the afternoon. I didn't have a car.
Starting point is 00:41:08 What are you talking about? We took Doug's car. We left it in long-term parking. And you told my wife, I don't know how to do that. She goes, well, you're going to fucking learn because you're a loser. Why would your wife call me a loser? Because you were complaining that you somehow had four hours to kill at the airport and we should maybe miss our flight so you didn't have to park the car i don't remember that i know you know that's a good part of the
Starting point is 00:41:30 trip look all i know is somebody drew a swastika on my forehead i snapped all right and said i'm gonna find this motherfucker and when i find him you're gonna get it you lost your hat too do you remember that all right yeah and I mailed it back alright cause I know how important it was to him so after I snapped after they drew the swastika on my forehead you know I needed a ride back to the
Starting point is 00:41:55 airport and so either you hate me or your wife hates me but it's like put you in the car no that's not true. I was awake. We woke up. I knew I needed to go back to the airport. And Doug said, Inman, keep your mouth shut
Starting point is 00:42:11 on the way back to the airport, because they don't want any of your bullshit. You know? And I'm like, whatever. Somebody drew a swastika on my forehead. All you people hate me. I don't know why. The movie had just come out. The Unbookables just come out. That woman, I won't mention her name,
Starting point is 00:42:28 and all of her friends, every word out of their mouth was snarky, hate-filled bullshit when I was trying to be nice to her and everyone. Let me get back to that and remind me to get back to that when we get to... So I don't know what happened,
Starting point is 00:42:44 but that last party when I showed up everyone hated me because why this will be a callback there were people that were fucking with you that didn't have rank and we'll get back to that towards the end when we get to Mishka
Starting point is 00:42:59 Shibali yeah he he fucked with you like those guys fucked with you but when you pass out first at a party people write shit on your forehead and sometimes they're sophomores and you're a senior i'm sorry what i wrote about you all right becker that's can i apologize well but i was just like i was a hard trip to take when I was quiet in the back of the car, and I felt like both of you hated me. Well, we didn't hate you.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Wait, we just needed your help to park the car. But you said, your fucking idiot friend, Becker, I'm underlining, and his stupid wife. You met her once, maybe. Because people told me she didn't like me a free drive to the airport where you didn't have any other way out of here a free drive to the airport then I had to pay for your ticket
Starting point is 00:43:53 you're gonna go down there now you invited me here you invited me to the first panamint you paid for my ticket yeah because you invited me one way because you said you were gonna... Yeah, you're trying to wind me up again. That's not gonna work. Move on to something else.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Anyway, Becky accepts your apology, too. That's her name. I'm not good with names! I'm not good with names, alright? I've got fucking Asperger's and some shit. You ever had In-N-Out? Alright, well...
Starting point is 00:44:23 I don't know if we should bring this. But you have to admit, it was kind of a quiet ride back. Yeah, because we were hungover and you were drunk. This was after we had an altercation. You guys were on mushrooms all night long. You guys were fucking out of your mind. And you were wandering my neighborhood screaming, where's Doug Stanhope's house at 4.30 in the morning in the morning all fucked up no one of us threw you against a wall and i'm not a
Starting point is 00:44:49 violent i don't remember that no i do remember that i was i've never seen doug that mad yeah well i honestly have never seen doug that well i got mad after somebody drew a swastika on my forehead it wasn't a swastika whatever someone can find that whatever it was done out of malice it wasn't a real funny prank like aha funny prank we're all friends she I won't mention her name and her friends they did not like me they did it out of real malice there's a difference
Starting point is 00:45:16 I uh have you considered that maybe you're unlikable that'd be a great name for a movie the unlikable maybe a sequel they didn't start hating my guts until that movie came out I never had so many enemies in my life
Starting point is 00:45:33 until that movie came out I was gonna blow through this but this is where you have to explain by now we're back from vacation and you write an email you have to explain. This is, by now, we're back from vacation. And you write an email saying,
Starting point is 00:45:53 subject, prank gone wrong. I don't know how you really feel about me. I know Brian's never liked me, but I wonder if I went over the line. Did this prank get out of hand? I've never been good at pranks. That's why I rarely do them. That said, Mishka really pissed me off
Starting point is 00:46:08 and I think it was high time someone called him out. Now this goes into what I don't know that I said, just tell me on the podcast. While you're doing these fucking Facebook fucking pranks,
Starting point is 00:46:24 evidently you got into it with Mishka specifically. You want to hear that story? Yeah, that's the one I don't know anything about. Well, he called Mishka an idiot cunt in the rant. So I'm sure Mishka wanted to hear about it. I'll agree with you ahead of time. Yeah, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:40 You're a dick. No. What happened with Mishka while we're on the train? So I'm on Facebook. I get an argument about Roseanne Barr with one of Mishka's friends. And blah, blah, blah. It's a debate. Two people take sides.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And the debate winds down with these guys basically calling me a racist and me giving all my points on why I think it's not funny to make fun of Roseanne. And so they basically called me a racist merely because I was supporting and defending Roseanne Barr as a comedian. And so this had nothing at all to do with Mishka. Out of nowhere, Mishka sends me a private message. Inman, you're embarrassing yourself. I'm like, what? Because of this discussion about Roseanne Barr? You're like, yeah. I go, well, that's kind of what I do, Mishka. I embarrass myself. I'm a comedian, I'm a fool, I'm a jester and a clown
Starting point is 00:47:46 this is one of the tools that we use you on the other hand are the musician and the writer and the poet and maybe you don't get what I do but I sure as don't I don't get what you do either so
Starting point is 00:48:01 I wasn't mean to him that's basically all I said was yeah, I'm embarrassing myself, that's what I do either so um i wasn't mean to him that's basically all i said was yeah i'm embarrassing myself that's what i do i'm a comedian and he's like well you know um am i unfriend and i thought he was talking about his friend i go i'm not i'm not unfriended your friend he can unfriend me and mishka goes no i mean i'm gonna unfriend going to unfriend you. And I go, not going to miss you. Sorry. Dude, if you're that pissed about a stupid argument about Facebook when I had said nothing whatsoever to you, and you're going to unfriend me because of my points, then okay, there's the door.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Get the fuck out. I just love that I can make fun of my 50-year-old friends for fighting and unfriending each other on Facebook. So that's what you were referring to. That's what you were referring to about Mishka being an idiot cunt and he needs to be taken down. Mishka... But I'm saying just that exchange.
Starting point is 00:49:01 No, I did not say... Well, whatever. I mean, you do you what are you trying to trap me in well no i know i i don't have this i have a notes oh wait this is the next email i just highlighted one line then i thought it oh okay all right i'm getting ahead of myself but when you said he was an idiot cunt right Right. I say that about a lot of people. Did you? I said, I have a note from last night.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Ask about the Mishka Facebook. Did you write a rant about Mishka? No, I wrote. This is how. I'm asking. I'm asking. This is a good example about me around all your friends. I am nice to all of them until they keep fucking with me and it gets to the point
Starting point is 00:49:46 where I'm like what and then I'm like alright fuck it I'm tired of this shit you know I feel like I'm always nice until I mean I'm pretty fair if someone goes over the line I'm like no dude that's over the line you know you're not really pranking me
Starting point is 00:50:02 for fun you're doing it as a real dick so I guess maybe the line you know you're not really pranking me for fun you're doing it as a real dick so i guess maybe the line gets blurred when you're a comedian and stuff or maybe mishka doesn't know what he's doing and uh maybe he's he's got some social justice warrior disease so he unfriended me look look that's pretty funny look gnome chomsky Noam Chomsky defended a Holocaust denier, and it was called the Something Affair. You can look it up. And the deal is, Noam Chomsky is not a Holocaust denier. He was defending this man's right to free speech.
Starting point is 00:50:47 this man's right to free speech if you if you love free speech then you're gonna have to defend repugnant free speech that you don't agree with blah blah blah because one day they're gonna come for you they're gonna you're gonna say something and next thing you know your career is gone and you're going to jail can i because we have to go to break. And they could have come for you based on that not racist, misogynist joke that Ben Scott put up that started this whole carnival. That didn't start the whole thing. The whole thing started with Mishka.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Okay, well, it starts with Mishka. He calls you a racist, and then at the same time, and then at the same time me yeah and then at the same time yeah let's simplify the whole thing i'm gonna simplify it okay how many when when you saw that youtube video that could have put you in the same dire straits career wise as rosanne bar or a thousand others how many views did it have? Not including you.
Starting point is 00:51:47 You're trying to wind me up and this is a horrible, stupid fucking argument. Okay. We got to go to a break. Hey, to be fair, 10 of those views were him. That's what I was trying to say, but I fucked it up. All right, James, take a piss. We have to do a break and sell a lot of commercials because you are the number one no stop it all right ladies and gentlemen cocktails all right kenny's uh spent all
Starting point is 00:52:17 morning trying to convince us to bet him whatever that he could eat What was the coupon from the filthiest garbage fast food dump ever? Yeah, it's three small fries, three cheeseburgers, and three waffles, and an extra large soda in under 30 minutes. And I think I can just win this bet easy. Chaley, will you just take a second and bleep out the names of those type? Just say it without the name because I don't want to sound like I'm giving them a commercial. Oh, never mind. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Three large burgers, three medium or small burgers, and three small fries. And it's the worst fast food. You can probably guess. I've talked about it before. I hate them. So it is the most repulsive fast food. Well, if you eat all this shit, what are they going to give you?
Starting point is 00:53:08 Whatever they're betting. It's a combined effort. We're trying to get a pot going. This is a good segue into mybookie.ag. Can you bet on whether Kenny can swallow all of this swill in 30 minutes without vomiting and live? No, you can't bet that.
Starting point is 00:53:25 But we could bet everything. Pretty much everything else you can bet at mybookie.ag, including football every week against Kenny and I, where we have our picks of the week. Kenny, you're 1-2 now after week three. Yes, I am. 2-1 by a point and a half. I don't know. I'd one, I took by a point and a half. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I'd be perfect. I'm a point and a half away from perfect. I won the bet. The team won that I picked, but the point spread did not cover, so I took the L, Chicago and Arizona. And our pal there in the lockup for the criminally insane somewhere in East Coast State, that was his first official time playing, and he lost.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Where did he play last week? Yeah, that's his first time. What was his pick this week? Oh, this week's pick, he took Tampa. Oh, so okay. No, he took the Raiders. No, he took the Raiders. Yeah, he's 0 for 2.
Starting point is 00:54:21 He picked the Raiders. And I took, like I said, Chicago, which won, but the point spread did not cover. All right, let's quickly crank out our picks of the week. This week, I am going, I wanted to go with Dallas at home, but I think Patriots starting 1-2 against an undefeated Dolphins team just doesn't make sense. So I'm taking the Patriots minus 7 points at home against the Dolphins. I think they're at home.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, and I'm going to go ahead and take Cleveland Browns over the Oakland Raiders. Here comes the dog pound. I like the way Mayfield's playing in the last three quarters of football, and he's looking good for next week. And let's go to, well, he keeps changing his name on us there to remain anonymous in this i think people probably think we're joking about this guy but uh yeah no no no not a joke a little bit of murder here and there just a little bit it was he someone was calling his name and telling him to do things. Don't mention who.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Go ahead. What's your cell block lock of the week? Next message. Frank Costello here. Calling from the Marsh. That's our institution. The criminally insane block lock of the week. Green Bay minus 10.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Over the Buffalo Bill. We have a rat in our organization. His name is Lorne Michaels. Heavy lies the crown. Oh, he said the name. Anyway, thank you. My bookie. Get over to

Fuck you, you fucking cunt. This is James Inman, all right? Now, all I know is Chad Shank is getting $1,000 reading my pranks. If he doesn't read my pranks, then it's
Starting point is 01:00:08 a grift. Alright, you guys are ripping people off. So, I either, I need a call from Doug Stanhope or Brian Hannigan or something or Hugh or something. Doug blocked me on Twitter. I wonder why that
Starting point is 01:00:24 is. Yeah, what's up with that? Because he can't fucking deal with someone that makes fun of him. He can make fun of other people, but he can't make... Oh, my God. Oh, God forbid anybody makes fun of Doug Stanhope.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Oh, nobody makes fun of Doug Stanhope. Nobody makes fun of Doug Stanhope. Nobody makes fun. Everybody makes fun of James Inman. Everybody makes fun of James Inman. But then when it's turned around,
Starting point is 01:00:55 it's not funny, is it? It's not funny at all. Oh, my God. Oh, you fucking cunt motherfuckers. Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you. cunt motherfuckers. Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you.
Starting point is 01:01:07 You can call me back, Shaley. You have my number. I'll leave my fucking phone on. I haven't got one goddamn email. Even when I ask, I'm like, please, can you reply to me? You know, I don't know what the fuck's going on. I will keep writing rants about all the fucking
Starting point is 01:01:27 unbookables. You fuck. Okay. Rebuttal James. Here is the rebuttal. Alright, so Mishka unfriends me, and I basically go, okay, fuck you, Mishka. You unfriended me, and you're annoyed because you don't like me and I'm blah,
Starting point is 01:01:49 blah, blah. I'll unfriend everybody. All right. You want to do, I, I personally have been dealing with this Doug Stano virus for since 1995, 1995.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I met you and you made fun of me, and it was a fun little dichotomy, dynamic thing where I laugh at myself, you make fun of me. It's like Laurel and Hardy, all right? And then we become friends, and other people see what we do, and they go, oh, Doug makes fun of James. Let's do that, too too because everybody's doing it it's the new thing and so now not only do i have to deal with you making fun of me which is okay
Starting point is 01:02:30 because i love you or shaley or you know brian kind of you know um i have to deal with all of your fans and friends mocking me and making fun of me because that's what you do. So I'm getting it from every side, everywhere. People I don't even know. Oh, hang on. Go ahead, Chad. Well, since I got drug into this one now all of a sudden, because I've been keeping my mouth shut until my name comes up. Then let me read this because your name comes up.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Oh, okay. Well, I want to do that. All right. First of all, you said in the last email that Jeff, your best friend, you hate every one of my friends and me, but Jeff, your best friend, you talk about the unbookables. And ever since the unbookables came out, everyone started hating me. For the nine millionth time, it wasn't my fault.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I was in every scene of that film i'm just as pissed at jeff as i am you so even your best friend goes under the wheels everyone goes under the wheels fuck i mean what are you talking about and then late and you close this so do whatever you want to do the first one one I wrote drunk, the first whatever rant. The first rant I wrote drunk. But there was a method to my madness. The other three I may have put some thought into. The Chad ballsack licking thing is going to be funny.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Trust me. He's getting over $1,000 for fuck's sake. So he has to read it. I wrote that after I found out about the prank. I like Chad, but if he doesn't read it, he's a giant pussy. Signed, your most loyal fan. So once again, this is where your head is so fucked up. I have a fucked up head, James.
Starting point is 01:04:19 But back to what I was going to say before. You say that your dynamic with Doug was where he fucked with you, and then you go ahead and mis-fucking-align yourself and associate everything that everybody else does with Doug. Have you ever just considered that you're the type of guy who's easy to fuck with, so you have that dynamic with everybody? That's not yours and his dynamic alone and we're all copying it. You're an easy guy to fuck with.
Starting point is 01:04:48 So that being said, once again, your head doesn't fucking compute things correctly. I got paid $1,000 because people, $1,175 as of total, to read this rant that you wrote. No other rants existed. Shut up. No, that's not true. No other rants existed. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:05:08 You had your turn to talk. No other rants existed at the time that this happened. On July 24th, 2018, James Inman released his second novel, is what it says. I'm reading the top of the fucking GoFundMe. That was the one that I was hired to read. All subsequent rants are from your delusional mind who thinks that you can somehow
Starting point is 01:05:31 control the situation and make up new rants that I then have to read. What a douchebag. Oh, no. Okay. All right. Hang on.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Wait, wait. Please hold. Tracy, could you come around and read that like it's the end of a Lipitor commercial? Come around, just use this mic. Yeah, I know the guy who wrote that. Okay. That's a good argument, James, you dipshit.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Let her talk clean. On July 24th, 2018, James Inman released his second novel, A Shining Beacon of Selflessness. He released it for free on his website. Ever the soft spoken and humble gentleman, James closes Facebook and Twitter accounts to live a life full of solitude in the mountains of Tibet where he will learn the ancient art of raiding dumpsters
Starting point is 01:06:14 for Ambien. This is truly a masterpiece of our age. For some kindness in your heart so that we can have this epic tale of sorrow, betrayal, and someone named Jeff, we'd like to invite Master Storyteller and Auditeur, Chad Shank. Alright. God bless. It's not written well, but it proves the point.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Boss, he's talking about one specific Facebook rant in that GoFundMe. It doesn't say you have to read everything that you ever wrote. I know the guy who started this GoFundMe can talk i can tweet him right
Starting point is 01:06:48 now i can i'm facebooking right now and uh the i i you don't have his private cell and and first of all we're talking about what eleven hundred dollars, that's like, if you were to read all four rants, that would take you less than 20 minutes. That's not the point. So you're getting paid. Once again, false logic. How is that the point? No, that's not false logic.
Starting point is 01:07:13 That is you getting $1,000 fucking dollars. You're upset because I'm making $1,000 off your words when you can't make half that off your words. That's not my problem. All right, so what is your problem? I don't have a problem. I've already fulfilled my fucking obligation on this podcast. I know your boss.
Starting point is 01:07:31 You wrote... I know your boss. Let's call him right now. At the CIA? Let's stop... Which boss are you talking about? The point is... The boss at the top?
Starting point is 01:07:39 Okay, I'm going to end this right now. I'm going to end this right now. No, no, because... He put that GoFundMe up based on one Facebook rant. That's not true because I can find that guy and talk to him, and we can talk to him on the phone. That'll be a subsequent podcast because I have shit to get to. All right, all right.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Hold on. Wait a minute. How can that even help anything when you just read it on July 24? You had written one rant. You wrote the next retarded rant after this already happened. Order in the court! In response to this! You wrote that in response
Starting point is 01:08:14 to this! You can't handle the truth. Please approach the bench because I have the dated July 24th right there. This is when you put it out. July 24th. What's the date on the next rant okay so
Starting point is 01:08:30 I see where this is going this is I know exactly where this is going when this happened and you were going to read my rants and I said oh he's got to read my rants so I'm going to write this it's going to be really funny because it's going to come out of his mouth and it were going to read my rants. And I said, oh, he's got to read my rants. I'm going to write this.
Starting point is 01:08:45 It's going to be really funny because it's going to come out of his mouth, and it's going to be funny. Once again, because you're stupid. I had to read a rant, not your rants. And so I was like, well, they're paying him $1,000. You know what would be really funny? If I wrote something really hilarious and that he would have to read. And basically, and then the guy said after seeing and then yeah then i was like go fund me completely overlooking the fact that i didn't
Starting point is 01:09:11 have to read the rest of your stupid rants basically you were motion to dismiss right so i know what your problem is right see you're you're a comedy locust. Every 11 years, you put something new out, and we thought that was it. No. My point has always been, and this is the giant general point, and the point that I always even told Doug, don't stop me. Don't even stop me before I say what? Right. Before I say something true.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Before you say this has always been your point of view, you've already said that this is a character. All right. been your point of view you've already said that this is a character all right when you so is it always your point of view that you hate me and chad and becker and his wife and chaley no you're not even close my point of view has been everyone else can make fun of james but when james turns it around and and flips it on the head and good that i can never make fun of anybody how did you do that i tweeted that that was a couple of my jokes i was like oh it's cool for you to make fun of me but when i make fun of you you can't take it this is why it's funny people make fun of me
Starting point is 01:10:18 i laugh at myself you love that you know why because you can't do it yourself. I don't make fun of myself on this podcast. Are you fucking shitting me? Are you trying to play that card with me? Have you listened to this podcast at all? So then read the third rant. How hard can it be? Well, you didn't bring copies. You said you had all the copies.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Well, I have copies. The ones we were contracted to read. I know your boss. I'm friends with your boss. I can call the Old Testament and tell him to tell you what to do. Let me... Your Honor, let me
Starting point is 01:10:55 rephrase. When we make fun of you, everyone laughs. But when you make fun of us, I fly you first class down here and talk about it. You ever been in first class before? No, I haven't. That was another thing that was funny.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Were you freaked out by the towel? It was funny. Did you think they were air room? I knew it was just another way for Doug to fuck with me. But it was a good point. was just another way for Doug to fuck with me. But that, my, it was a good point. The point was, oh my God, Chad Shank is making $1,100
Starting point is 01:11:31 to read my rant. And so I started talking to this guy. We're past that. We already proved our point. Whoever this guy is, he's responsible for me writing the fourth rant about this guy. Which you thought he had to read, which you're wrong. I thought, yeah,
Starting point is 01:11:48 because we're talking a thousand fucking bucks. That's like a month's worth of work for most people. Most of the people listening to this podcast don't have a pot to piss in. They're living paycheck by paycheck. Everyone in this town is on disability to make a thousand bucks a month
Starting point is 01:12:03 for doing nothing. Would they read like 20 minutes of dialogue for $1,000? Anybody, any of your friends, they would say, yes, you're lazy. I just did it for three minutes. No, no. I did what was contracted. No, you did not. I did not prove it. We just proved you were wrong, dumbass.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Come with some facts. I know your boss. Explain what that means. Give me a cell phone. Explain what dumbass. Come with some facts. I know your boss. Explain what that means. Give me your cell phone. Explain what that means. Explain what what means. I know your boss. You've said it four times.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Give me your cell phone. I'll call it. There's mine. Bitch. I have to log into Facebook. It's one of the. He's the guy I met on Facebook. It's one of the fucking.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Oh, you're a fucking moron. The guy that helped you make $1,000 is friends with me. Look, give me the goddamn thing. I'll read it. How hard can it be? James, I'm trying to turn gears to where you're at. I thought it was funny, and I called him out. I said, you can make fun of me, but I can't make fun of you.
Starting point is 01:13:00 James, you can. It's just not funny. That's the whole point. James. You can't get mad at people because nobody laughs when you make fun of other people only because they laughed at you. Oh my God, you're taking it seriously. Don't go Norm Wilkerson and take this seriously. And this is kind of the point is where the worm
Starting point is 01:13:19 turns for you. The worm turns for me where, yeah, people start coming on my side. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to do. And you keep trying to argue stupid shit with Chad. You're making Chad angry. So I thought it was funny, but he doesn't. You're just horrifically wrong over and over
Starting point is 01:13:38 with the same point. Okay, don't, don't, don't. Don't, don't. Go to the next point. What's your next point? Well, we're still going with the emails as you continue this feud. All right. And this is where I mount up on the James Inman wagon. And we all did up until you just kept making everyone infuriated by ignoring logic. No, I'll switch back right now.
Starting point is 01:14:03 He's got it. He's a diplomat. We mentioned you in a podcast. Podcast episode 272. And you sent me subject podcast number 272 corrections.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Thanks for grading my paper. Right. My Twitter account got suspended, and I don't know why it happened. This is what they sent me after I tried to appeal four times. Quotes from Twitter. We have determined that your account posted content that was threatening and or promoting violence in violation of Twitter terms of service. Accordingly, your account has been suspended and will not be restored, meaning a lifetime ban from Twitter.
Starting point is 01:14:54 And then you continue on in the email. At first, I thought it was the termites who got together and flagged my tweets, but I talked to some of them. They said, no way. They probably would ask you first don't you think then i thought it might have been mishka who reported me for bullying because i posted a link to that last rant about him on my website this is where i'd like you to you're kind of admitting that you posted something on your website that you linked to twitter all of
Starting point is 01:15:25 them started but can you remember anything that might have i mean all of your fucking what diatribes could be misconstrued as inciting violence no i mean i've got all the fuck you in the ass till you're dead i've got all four so did you Fuck you in the ass until you're dead. I've got all four rants. So did you get reported for the one that I read, the first one? No. No, this one's specifically about Mishka. That was on my website. All my rants ended up on my website. What did you get reported for?
Starting point is 01:15:54 God, if I know. He put something about Mishka on his website. What was the last rant? You got the beat? Hang on, hang on. Which one are you referring to? The one where I stuffed walnuts up my ass and fucked monkeys? No, that's not the last rant.
Starting point is 01:16:07 That was the second one. That's the third one. Oh, okay. Okay, well, the one about... I got bored with it and quit reading after the second one. You're getting $1,000. Shut the fuck up. No, I got it, and I already performed the job.
Starting point is 01:16:20 It's spent. By the way, it's $1,175. There's $175 you're neglecting. Don't lowball it. You're getting around $1,200. Right. All right. If you have $25, you will. I just want to throw in quickly.
Starting point is 01:16:35 After we had stopped on about day six of the train, we had a couple days off in Portland. And that's when I heard about all this shit. We had a couple days off in Portland, and that's when I heard about all this shit. And Inman has already posted that rant that you read for $1,175. And I read that, and he left me a version of it. He emailed and voicemailed. So I called, and I go, I had his old cell phone number. So I left the message on the wrong cell phone number but i called as though i knew nothing hey i've been on a i'm on a 10-day train trip so i'm
Starting point is 01:17:12 staying away from my phone but i saw that you called my caller id said that you called so uh just hoping everything's okay i miss you buddy so he'd go i left all that shit and he never heard it these things were friends and i told him we're not friends but i left it on the wrong phone number i got his his uh his website up here uh where where where did you put it is it in i do it because it was oh he took it down that i only put up for a day or two, and people found it, and they copied it, and other people have it, and I have it. So it could have been that about Mishka, but you're right. It could be him. Brenda totally thinks it was Mishka.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Whoever did it really fucked me, because I had over 3,000 followers. And when I tried to create a new Twitter account, you couldn't start a new Twitter account, blah, blah, blah. Then you go on to... The only other reason I think it's down is because I posted Clash lyrics. Uh-huh. Yeah. You thought this was your theory.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Okay, the last thing I tweeted was... I'm going to read it. Okay. You thought your Twitter, Brenda, your gal pal... She says it's Mishka....sw going to read it. Okay. You thought your Twitter Brenda, your gal pal She says it's Mishka. But you go, no, I think it's because I posted these Clash lyrics which read,
Starting point is 01:18:33 Every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock and roll grabs the mic and tells us he'll die before he's sold. But I believe in this and it's been tested by research he who fucks nuns will later join the church credit to the clash you see that that last line it says fucks none fucks nuns could that be it what the fuck i honestly think someone reported me for Clash lyrics.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Yeah, I was trying to figure out when you problem solve, you look at the last tweet. That was the last tweet. It could be that. And I suspected either the termites or somebody that loves you that didn't get the joke or Mishka. That's what I thought it was. But I didn't want to admit that it could joke or Mishka. You know? That's what I thought it was. But I didn't want to admit that it could be a Mishka. I like that you went to Stanhope for advice,
Starting point is 01:19:31 what he thinks it could be, when he's the most illiterate Twitter person. What? What do you think it could be? Stanhope doesn't know what gets people banned. No, he's on a train. I mean, in general. Stanhope doesn't even pay attention to any of the technology.
Starting point is 01:19:46 He doesn't follow up with it. He knows social things. Like, you know, he knows what's going on. Saying hello, goodbye. On the street. He's like a huggy bear. You know, when Starsky and Hutch tried to solve a crime, they go to huggy bear. You know why?
Starting point is 01:19:58 Because he knew what the fuck was going on on the street. You thought Stanhope had the inside intel on what people got banned for on Twitter? Yes, to be fair. Stanhope barely knows how to tweet. To be fair, how long have you not had cable? It's fucked up that someone would get you banned from Twitter
Starting point is 01:20:22 if they don't know you, if they don't know that you're just full of vitriol and hyperbole. But now I've told you the truth, because I get this from Mishka. I call him Mishka. Hey, I hate to ask, but Johnny favors. All right. This is because you've sent me that email. I don't know because you thought it was Clash lyrics. He said, Hello, boys.
Starting point is 01:21:01 I'll be rolling into town on the 22nd for a show at the quarry in Bisbee. Wanted to see if you're in town and if it's cool for me to dump Kyle and Hack at the funhouse to stay with you all that night. I'll be cuddling with Joby as per usual. Let me know if you're around. And then because we had mentioned you, your ban on Twitter, as an aside, he said, was catching up on the podcast today, says Mishka. I was the one who got Inman kicked off Twitter. Mishka Shibali and his sig file, whatever you call that, six best-selling Kindle singles on Amazon. Well, you think that would afford you
Starting point is 01:21:45 a place to put up your openers rather than say, can I dump them at your fucking house? So I wrote back. I was livid. A lot of people were here. I don't know. The internet was down, actually.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Oh, it was. That saved you. That's the day the internet went down. Right. And this is where... That's the night. Yeah, I mean, this is... The meek ain't gonna inherit shit. The night the lights went down. Right. And this is where, yeah, I mean, this is- The meek ain't going to inherit shit.
Starting point is 01:22:07 The night the lights went out. It was like the first time he sent a Twitter message to me to tell me what was going on instead of texting me. I wrote back to Mishka and I was fucking livid. You fuck. You broke the knob on our windup toy. What an incredible dick move. The main house will be under construction.
Starting point is 01:22:28 This is where I went soft on it. Because I go, the main house will be under construction while you guys are here. They're blowing out the walls of the bedrooms, but I'll get your openers and Airbnb within walking distance. Remind me closer to then. And then I wrote, I was going gonna try to get people to petition twitter to bring inman back i didn't know it was an inside job get your defense presentation ready for the podcast unconscionable unbookables three should just be you and inman on the road and a third to
Starting point is 01:23:01 fan the flames stanhope so i closed it like i wasn't as angry as I was because I didn't want to fucking tilt the deal. And then he writes back, hey, fuck you, buddy. I picked up the phone and actually called him. Meaning you, Inman. Why? He says, you have no idea what I endured. Wait, wait, no. Oh, no, it gets worse.
Starting point is 01:23:23 It gets worse because it gets better. He goes, you have no idea what I endured. I'd rather drink two pints of Andrus hot piss than go through that again. Seriously, though, did you see what he said about me? He accused me of having a hot girlfriend and being successful. And, you know, I can't take that shit lying down. successful and you know i can't take that shit lying down which he's not only chad has questions here but he's not just saying i got him banned permanently from twitter which is one of two lifelines for business in our business to reach fans was there i'm assuming that you said something worse than
Starting point is 01:24:08 that but he's saying oh yeah he said i have a hot girlfriend so i had a band he was complimenting himself yes he's complimenting and backhandedly and but in making a joke because certainly you would even if if i disagreed with inman or whatever we're still friends and especially uh uh to get you kicked off of a fucking medium where you promote your you know your comedy and stuff that's fuck that's hitting you so i have to assume that you did something way more fucked up than what he alluded to otherwise what the fuck i don't understand that at all well if you said anything like you said about almost every single person in this room which is as awful as you can get and we still love you
Starting point is 01:24:54 this is where i know you were upset about someone drawing shit on your head. Yeah. Because we fuck with you. People who don't know the the... You're not in on the gag. You're... Oh, it's that fucking David Bishop story. No one here knows it, where he's this drunken comic in the UK
Starting point is 01:25:19 and they were throwing out a heckler, a show he was just standing in the back of the room, and the Leicester Square theater guys had to manhandle a fighter out of the room and they manhandled well. And once they had him locked down, David Bishop comes up in a black coat and starts kicking the guy when he's down and shackled.
Starting point is 01:25:38 And they're like, no, don't help us. That's what a lot of people, like those guys didn't have the tenure to fucking draw on your forehead and fuck with people jack and dino who i know is listening yeah you're a fucking cunt to a lot of people that weekend mike montoya he was a fucking dick like all right you gotta these are our friends you know your fucking social circle and your rank this is the same reason i shit on fucking chris castles that filmed andy andrist's pedophile thing and you know you're the that's why i fucked with you in my book
Starting point is 01:26:11 calling you the video flunky and the camera stooge and yeah you then you showed up with swagger that you don't have we fuck with inman it's like we Rudy backwards but we fuck with Inman as a friend we don't go hey let's cut his fucking power line so he can't fucking get cable I completely wish that we had the fucking rant I'll try to paraphrase it
Starting point is 01:26:38 my name's Chad Shank and I stuff walnuts up my ass and I fuck monkeys and I do whatever Doug up my ass and I fuck monkeys and I do whatever Doug Stanton tells me to do. It was over the top. I can just to fucking show you that I will read that
Starting point is 01:26:53 and not harbor ill will towards you where I would fucking do something so fucked up towards you is what I'm saying. Because we already were talking at that time. We were sending little messages back to each other and you were basically trying to find out, Inman, are you still drinking? And I'm like, no, I'm sober now. And so you're like, all right, I'm making $1,000.
Starting point is 01:27:11 I'm like, all right, let's just go with this. Well, and because the dude that set up the GoFundMe thing wanted to take it back down because he said, someone that knows Inman tells me that this is affecting him seriously, and I don't want to do that. You. No, no. And I said, yeah, well and i don't want to do that you and i said no and i said yeah well i don't want to do that either we were just fucking around so he talked to me and i said no i'm totally cool with it i mean i um i've been friends with doug for a long time i think he gets the joke i've said worse to him to his face and uh um then the second rant was basically, you know what? I'm going to unfriend everybody, Mishka. If you think you're annoyed by one of Doug's circle of friends,
Starting point is 01:27:54 you have no idea because I've been dealing with this shit since 1995, so I'm going to unfriend everybody. Come on. I was a judge at san francisco comedy competition you you were the winner weren't you yes yeah i was all right yeah there's no fucking senate subcommittee right if i'm if i if i drifted some books on that uh i guess most of this is social media that you get not in in person because on social media people say snarky negative shit and um you know uh so so anyway the guy goes yeah write a couple more rants and we'll be done
Starting point is 01:28:33 with it and we'll give him his thousand bucks and that's when i wrote the last rant okay which was this whole thing started when mishka unfriended me. And that was the last rant where I tried to explain everything. Well, you know what? That's a good thing because otherwise Mishka is going to ask you if you can put people in your fucking closet-sized apartment when he's playing there making money and his opening acts have no place to stay. Yeah, he can sleep on my couch. I'm not mad at him. I just don't understand why he's mad at me. Well, the fact that he
Starting point is 01:29:09 had the hubris to fuck with you on that level, which is just, it's just like I'm going to steal his money, basically. That's your fucking commerce statement. I'm closing up. Alright. If you had Mishka's Twitter or Facebook taken down as a prank he has no way to reach his audience
Starting point is 01:29:31 and i we wouldn't do that to him but it it pisses me off that he thinks oh i'm a comedian you're not you're a musician and a writer. A writer. Yeah. He bought his mother a house, according to his book, with his fucking Amazon. But he's still dumping off his fucking opening acts. He's a good writer. Don't worry. I like his opening acts.
Starting point is 01:29:59 My point being, he's a writer. He writes things. So do you. No one's ever paid Chad Shank 1,100 bucks to read Mishka. Probably your biggest selling work so far. Mishka is coming up on the next podcast when it comes to Bisbee. So I'm going to put it in your hands. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 01:30:31 So I'm going to have to talk to him. Stay with me. I didn't even know what was going on. Again, I was on vacation. But when I heard a little bit about how you're, fuck, Doug, stand up and everyone. I go, I just blocked James Inman. And then I tweeted, Hey,
Starting point is 01:30:48 let's just all block James Inman to fuck with you even more. So it would ramp up your tweets, which we could make fun of. I didn't know that you had been permanently blocked at that point. It wasn't until Mishka told me, and I called you immediately because I know who true friends are. They're the ones who say, fuck him and all his friends. So Mishka admitted that he blocked me.
Starting point is 01:31:10 Yeah, I just read that to you. Okay, so. By the way. So Mishka, we're going to fuck with Mishka on your behalf. This is going to be the first time you're the hero of a podcast. But I was thinking of telling. Don't steamroll that one. of a podcast. But I was thinking of telling... Don't steamroll that one, Jack.
Starting point is 01:31:28 That is so good. All right. Go ahead. I was thinking about saying, hey, what if all of my fans blocked you on Twitter? We're not going to take it down, but let them live on his fucking own accord. But if you're a fan of Mischko because of us, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:31:48 No. I'm going to let you think about it. You're going to go back home to Kansas City. I'll let you think about it. You text me. I'll tell you when Mishka is going to be on the podcast. And you text me a thumbs up or thumbs down. What?
Starting point is 01:32:00 If I want Mishka. Just having. No. What, if I want Mishka? No, this is my idea, is Mishka gets unfollowed by all of my fans until he writes a letter of apology to Twitter saying, I made up all this stuff. Mishka was never threatened with violence in any way that he could ever with a straight face. Wait a minute. We don't know his sensitivities at this point. James was right. He might have a social justice warrior disease.
Starting point is 01:32:31 I mean, it's not his fault. He can be very sensitive at this point. We're not sure. No. No one says, oh, by the way, I got Inman kicked off Twitter. Because they felt threatened.
Starting point is 01:32:45 He did it. He's taller than me. By the way. What a gaslighter. He manipulated the system. What a fool. I have a lot of mentally ill stalker fans.
Starting point is 01:33:03 I'm sorry. That's all right. I it i missed it i have a lot of mentally ill stalker fans and since this happened to james there's one that just makes me outraged and i know that it's a mentally ill person but like just fuck off and it's been a long time and i just tried to have him booted off twitter and you can't just hit a button like you were thinking a lot of people just hit the abuse button or whatever no you have to go you have to fill out like a police report show evidence screenshots of things i'm like i didn't go through that for this guy that's just an annoyance to me but it shows the lengths that Mishka Shibali did just to fuck you
Starting point is 01:33:47 in no other place than your wallet and your outlet to the people that love you and that's fucked up so when he's on we're gonna fuck with him and maybe maybe we get everyone to fucking block Mishka but we're no don't do that no
Starting point is 01:34:03 I'm not block him. Just let him live on his own fan base, not people that just know him from me. I'll text you before the Mishka podcast. That'll be the next week's episode is Mishka gets his comeuppance, but I'll have a funnier title.
Starting point is 01:34:25 Inman, I love you. I don't like when people fuck with you when they're not in the loop. Yeah, they were. Yeah, that's, I mean, I was kind of halfway joking. Did I say Mishka? I think I said Mishka. Inman. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:39 I was thinking Mishka. God, it makes me so fucking angry. Well, I mean, I've written worse. I knew that it was just a thing. I'm thinking Mishka. God, it makes me so fucking angry. Well, I mean, I've written worse to you. I knew that it was just a thing. You should write even worse, and I'll fly you on a Learjet. Right, right, right. The Concorde.
Starting point is 01:34:55 You'll be outside of it, but you'll still be on it. Right. Winglocker. You know, it's so funny. It's like now I'm actually scared to send emails to him because I don't know where it's going to end up. I mean, God knows. Well, don't. You're still talking to him? I don't know where it's going to end up. I mean, God knows. Well, don't. You're still talking to him? I don't email him.
Starting point is 01:35:07 He emails me. Hey, I hate to ask, but. All right, James, we're going to close out. I have this written down. My favorite thing. I mean, you have plenty of material, but you don't want to burn your material. I'm going to close out with you at a city council meeting in Seattle from YouTube. It's a little bit old, but it's fucking brilliant.
Starting point is 01:35:32 And then there's going to be a lot of Easter eggs at the end of this, of all the voicemails we didn't play. So if people sit through it, they can listen to the rest of the voicemails. I don't think they're Easter eggs if you tell people they're there yeah but i want people to know this time because we had to sit and listen to all of them going some of them are redundant but they're all fucking funny i love you james inman here's james inman right after the wto riots in the 90s in seattle talking about he starts with the WTO riots just listen
Starting point is 01:36:07 and then makes it all about him nothing to do with the WTO riots but it's brilliant and I've tried to copy that at my city council and I can never live up to your fucking giant boots that you've owned for 40 years bootstraps
Starting point is 01:36:22 yeah 40 years. Food straps. Just where we make out. Yeah. All right. Number 133 is James Inman. Thanks. I was in the protest. I didn't get arrested, but a year before the entire protest, I was arrested for saying the F word, and I will not use that word in front of the council. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:36:46 I will substitute the word forget for the word the F word. Okay? So I was trying to go to the bathroom. And the bathroom door was locked. And I said, forget it. And this lady said, excuse me. And I said, I need to go to the bathroom. She says, your language.
Starting point is 01:37:03 I go, you've never heard the word forget? How about forget you, you mother forgetter. You ever heard that word before? And then I ran across the street to find another bathroom and she called the police and this cop came up to me and said, let me see your license. And I said, what for? You're going to arrest me for saying the word forget? And he said, put your hands behind your back. And I got arrested for saying the word forget. So this is my open letter to Mark Sidron. You dysfunctional, retarded, mentally ill, derelict, demon scum, antichrist, spewing worthless, constipated balls of dung
Starting point is 01:37:46 from your funk and wagnell education. You're a liquid-emitting fart. You evil bastard. You're a clear-cutting, cigar-smoking, depraved lunatic with a machine-replacement head. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and please hack off your own feet and eat them. You profit-seeking circus act.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Your idiot gibberish fuels the dystopian nightmares cooked up daily from the industrial laboratories of death. The giant echo of no trickling down from overpaid, overfed lackeys. The Gucci overlords and conservatives have always been black-hearted demons, and all WTO representatives are their mutated, half-human, retarded stepchildren. You're incontinent pond scum. You spineless vegetable head of dead lettuce with the mental capacity of a swatch battery, the cognitive skills of a pigeon, and the intelligent quotient of a dirt clod. intelligent quotient of a dirt clod. A blood clot for a brain and a softened skull you can poke your finger
Starting point is 01:38:49 in like a stick of hot butter. Those little rodent eyes like two shiny black BBs that never blink, gazing away into empty space, and a third eye on the side of the skull dripping ice knot, combing your hair over so as not to scare children. A dead third eye just above the right ear like a milky black protruding mole, you black magician and puppet master, trained by Alistair Crowley and raised by feral goats turning Seattle into a Nazi clan outpost with David Duke's twin alcoholic brother at the controls.
Starting point is 01:39:25 Your entire philosophy is a bunk corporate handjob, and all your heroes are evil. Anne Rand is a walking brain hemorrhage. Rush Limbaugh is a whimpering dehumanized thug. Ronald Reagan is a diseased midget steeped in chocolate slim fast.
Starting point is 01:39:43 To sum up, my worthless friends, Mark Sidron is a plastic toad, a horrible scab-infected abortion, a demonic fascist, a pathetic worm with dogmatic sermons for an industrial cesspool, a space heater filled with human waste and cat hair,
Starting point is 01:39:58 a fan of John Tesh, a corporate shill, a floating green turd in the punch bowl of life, and may bright yellow vitamin-fortified piss flow onto the door handle of his holy automobile. James, your remarks will be part of the record of the hearing. Andy, you were just on Twitter eight minutes ago, and you can't answer your goddamn phone. Somebody, Ben Scott, is uploading video from Panaman, and it's bullshit. It's shit that's going to fuck me up even more.
Starting point is 01:40:56 I mean, if you're going to upload shit from Panaman on goddamn YouTube, maybe you should, like, run it by me first so I can see it. Or we can both agree or something. I mean, Doug, Shaley, and Brian told all of us not to bring a video camera to Panamint. And now my shit, my stupid shit, stupid shit that I did in payment is being uploaded to YouTube. This is fucking bullshit. All right? It's not funny.
Starting point is 01:41:33 And I will fucking, I swear to God, I know enough about Doug to bring his entire empire down. Him and Brian. All I have to do is call one girl and have her write a blog post, all right? I just swear to God, really, honestly, I have always supported both of these motherfuckers, and this is bullshit. I can't get anybody on the phone. Nobody's calling me back. Ben Scott, it's 9 a.m. in Australia, and he's not answering my Twitter, okay? And he's not taking the video down. If somebody fucking uploads that video, then fuck, all right? It's not funny, all right?
Starting point is 01:42:22 then I'm fucked, alright? It's not funny, alright? Especially when they told all of us not to bring a video camera to Bannerman, okay? Oh, you fucking cunt. Pick up the fucking phone. I told you to call me. You read that and you still haven't called call me, you read that, and you still
Starting point is 01:42:45 haven't called me back, you motherfucker, and now you're posting bullshit on Twitter, do you want to fuck with me, because I will fucking destroy you, you stupid fucking retard cunt, all I ask you is to call me back, and now you're mocking me on Twitter, what the fuck is wrong with you, and now you're mocking me on Twitter? What the fuck is wrong with you? Fucking, if you called me, and you needed me to call you for some, any reason, any fucking reason,
Starting point is 01:43:15 I would be there for you, you stupid fuck. You think this is funny? Next time you call me, and you need me, I'm gonna laugh at you, and I'm gonna write bullshit stuff on Twitter, and he called me, and he's, and then I'll just make some stupid joke, blah, blah, blah, fuck you, cunt, I don't have to be your friend, honestly, Andy, I don't have to be, you're, you're, you're pretty much the only person I like out of this entire group. And Doug, Brian, everyone, Shaley, the entire group, Brett Erickson, doesn't matter, all the unbookables, and you, I don't really give a flying fuck about.
Starting point is 01:44:01 And I could still live my life without being any of your friends. I don't care anymore. All right? So fuck you. All don't care anymore. All right, so fuck you. All right, fuck you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:44:16 This is James Inman. Remember when you said, don't bring a video camera to Panaman? Nobody records anything, Ben Scott from Australia, you know, pretty husband, is uploading video on YouTube of shit that I said in Panamint, this is bullshit, okay, now, I can't get a hold of Doug, I can't get a hold of Brian, I can't get a hold of Ben Scott in Australia, somebody needs to fucking call that motherfucker and tell him to take that video down, alright, this is not funny, I will drive out the busy and I'll make a fool of all of you, alright, just like I did with my most downloaded fucking podcast, all right? I'm tired of this shit. You don't
Starting point is 01:45:06 upload video of Panamint on YouTube when you told us all not to bring a fucking video camera, all right? Now, there's contracts and shit. You know, I want to see the video before it's up, but goddammit, fucking somebody call me back, I called Brian, I called Doug, this is not funny, you're not funny, okay, alright, this is, this is bullshit, yeah, it's funny, no it's not, this shit on there about racism, and I'm not fucking gonna go down like fucking Roseanne Barr, you motherfuckers. You fucking, you want to fuck with me, Shirley? I swear to God, I have been loyal to all of you fuckers.
Starting point is 01:45:53 All of you. I've never fucking said anything negative about you, about Brian or Doug, unless they said it to your face. Don't fuck with me. I swear to God, I'll fuck with all of you. I know shit about Doug that nobody knows. You don't want me. You don't want me to start writing shit about Doug. All right?
Starting point is 01:46:16 And you. Or Brian. Online. I'll fucking write all kinds of shit. I have nothing to lose, you motherfucker. You call me back, or you call Doug, or you have somebody call me back, or you call that motherfucker in Australia, Ben Scott, and you tell him to take that video down before it's edited or something.
Starting point is 01:46:39 This is bullshit. Bullshit editing. He's a fucking retard. All right? He's fucking retard. All right? He's got autism. All right? We don't want an autistic fucking goddamn scientist to edit video for 10 minutes. They don't know shit.
Starting point is 01:46:56 Okay? So call me or you fucking call me, you fucking motherfucker. I know what time it is in L.A. It's 6 o'clock now. It's got to be 7 or 8. You've got to fucking answer your fucking motherfucker. I know what time it is in L.A. It's six o'clock now. It's got to be seven or eight. You've got to fucking answer your fucking phone. This ain't reality TV. It's the Doug Steno Podcast.
