you're listening to the doug stanhope podcast
yeah and they don't fucking clean up their parking lot you expect me to go outside to
smoke when you don't have a fucking yeah we have i don't want to get ahead of myself you want armed security everywhere now
yeah we have cops at shows where if there's no problems but then you hit yet another night off
shithole motel this is not a bad motel we have our night off in hattiesburg mississippi why
because we thought we were going to play the thirsty hippo in hattiesburg mississippi why because we thought we were going to play the thirsty
hippo in hattiesburg we're going to fill an off night with a paying gig yeah we were going to do
a pop-up well well no no no hennigan was trying to book this i go all right we're trying to do it
yeah that's it's a five-hour drive which is kind of a hump, but it actually went well. But what was the podcast that you turned on
and made the drive go so fucking quick?
Oh, let me look it up.
I just found it because I knew you guys like death and murder and stuff.
Last Day.
Last Day.
That was really interesting.
Harris Whittle is a comedian that died of an overdose,
and his sister has a new podcast
called last day it's about death and shit that kills people and it's really good really interesting
she set it up for like this this chunk that we're it's four episodes in this chunk is opioid epidemic and how and then how it's touched just about everyone yeah
sarah silverman and aziz ansari on the first episode talking about her brother and so it's
a pet peeve with uh netflix documentaries with me where you go oh this sounds like an interesting
story but the documentarian it makes it all about them yeah she doesn't do
that she does you know where oh it's his sister talking about it and then it's gonna be about
but it's not it's fucking really good she's a she's a natural talent and uh yeah made five
hours blow by to our off night in hattiesburg yeah no i i liked it i could tell that her point was she was she said
early on that she's like this is to make people who've been through this feel less alone and you
could that actually comes through as opposed to just saying it and then making it about and that
there's about how widespread like there were more people who died of addiction since 99
than like car accidents yeah something's yeah and that doesn't count yeah i
think that is opioid yeah or yeah because that doesn't count smoking and drinking
yeah the numbers go through the roof with that yeah i don't know man it's but i think the point
she was trying to make is that this touches everyone
I mean there's not a person
like six degrees of Kevin Bacon
kind of thing
it's like one degree of
or two degrees you'll find someone that you know
it touches us right here
at the fucking
Howard
Johnson's in Hattiesburg
where we're kind of shut in because At the fucking Howard Johnson's in Hattiesburg,
where we're kind of shut in because there's some fucking,
like, I wish there was,
I had a cop friend who could park his car next to us in the parking lot.
Cruiser in the lot.
Yeah, the last place, when we left you last,
we were at a piece of shit hotel,el it was the econo lodge east in
knoxville tennessee if you're in for waffles and moonshine and a place to lay your head
i got a one-stop shopping we were so excited to get smoking rooms where we could just back the
van up to the door the van which by the way we never mentioned the van which i got brand new for this tour
fucking like the second week in cleveland someone fucking smashed into it left there
pulled their bumper off dragging it out of the side of our van and i i could see like if a
if a ship captain is coming into port and he gets it a little too close to the dock there
and the momentum of a ship,
it's just going to go,
it's great.
Someone basically came up too close to the vehicle
and scraped a bumper.
Like a side panel kind of bumper.
The rear of the back door
to almost the middle of the back door to the almost the middle
of the front door so they just kept going and they all they do is tap i remember walking out
to go get taco bell breakfast for everyone and uh some ladies and i see the bumper right next
to the car and she goes wow someone fucked up or i go it's not from my car that's all I care about I didn't notice the giant gouge down the
side that oh it is from my car yeah that's like you would think that if you realize you're hitting
a car because the scrape is like two and a half feet long at least yeah yeah you would think that
you would at least like it looks like someone's halfway through well yeah it's called a getaway there was enough
it was enough
of a connection
that it ripped their fucking bumper off
I know it was like one of those
plexiglass
or whatever it wasn't metal
I picked it up and I threw it over
it wasn't a 1955
Chevy fully chrome bumper
I'm saying it was light enough
that i picked it up and hurled it over the fence that guards the dumpster i always love when they
put up a giant chain link fence like you're gonna steal from their dumpster yet the uh everything
else is unguarded you can get in the hotel without a key and walk down the hallways but don't fuck with our dumpster
uh anyway so yeah last we left you at the uh econo lodge east knoxville we were all
glad we were making such hay with the pictures on twitter of the the the grill
chained to the fucking post and the cigarette burns and the bloodstains and the crushed roaches
on the wall but we were just still happy to smoke and then the aftermath of that last podcast if you
followed my twitter was uh yeah me showing pictures of bed bug bites all over my back with
which tracy got to and uh and everyone's going why don't you spend more
on fucking hotels you cheap prick
because we could smoke in that fucking hotel
and I'd go back to that hotel
today
I mean it was convenient to have a liquor store right next to it
I'd spray it down with Raid
before I slept in the bed
I actually slept in my clothes
until about 3 or 4 in the morning
I did that in my clothes till about 3 or 4 in the morning I did that in Nashville
I was very pickled
I slept in my full
suit and tie
I kept waking up to make sure my
tie clip was still on because I didn't want
to lose it in the bed
why were there
so many scuff marks on the
walls of our rooms that's what i wanted i want
to know the story behind every scuff mark at the econolodge well there's no blood splatter like
there was in cleveland oh that was that was terrifying i think we talked about that i think
did we talk about it yeah okay good yeah because that Oh, on the ceilings. The ceiling. The cast off. Yeah.
Cast off pattern.
Yeah, but I,
what, who is in there?
Like, how do you get,
like, it was like furniture scuff marks.
It wasn't just like someone,
I'm bothered by this.
I want to know
who is in there
moving furniture and why.
And there was like
years of scuff marks.
Hey, man.
Does anybody have a theory at all?
I have no idea.
Jaylee, you have all the answers.
Maybe they used to clean underneath the dresser.
But there were scuff marks where there wasn't even any furniture.
Like, how do you get a scuff mark eight feet up the wall?
Someone trying to get away.
A failed escape attempt tracy's had to get uh like calamine lotion and wait did you get prescription shit for that no no that's lidocaine doesn't work doesn't work
because mine don't itch what's weird is that's several days ago and i, I saw the, the bites the next day.
And,
uh, that's when I sent the picture out on the Twitter.
And,
uh,
just tonight I had to pull up my shirt and ask Olivia,
Hey,
those bite marks still there.
She goes,
Oh yeah.
And it's weird that I haven't taken my shirt off in four days to shower,
to do anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know,
you,
you look like you went
paintballing.
And lost.
And lost.
Yeah, but they don't, mine don't itch
but it's probably because
I don't know, the layers of filth on my skin?
I don't know. Maybe, yeah.
Maybe it snuffed them out.
But every time we talk about them, I start
scratching my head. My scalp itches.
So, I don't know.
I don't think it's bed bugs. I think you got bit
by something, but I don't think it's bed bugs.
I have no... Well, what else bites you?
Well, a dog. Skeeters?
A dog can bite you.
Well, now I know from Nashville, sleep
in your suit.
Whatever stops people from hugging you.
I'm just gaining more and more maladies.
Fucking chalasians and fucking bug bites.
Doug will be at the merch booth tonight,
but because of his leprosy,
he's not letting you hug him.
Oh, Chattanooga.
Hopefully if they were bedb i spread actually no i was
gonna shit on the hotel but the oh that's what i was gonna say the econo lodge east in knoxville
i haven't done it yet and i don't know how to upload pictures real well but i want i'm gonna
yelp review the fuck out of that trip advisor expedia five star reviews i'm just gonna sit
i'm just gonna hype that place.
Yeah, so people stay there.
Get a smoking room.
They're the best.
I mean, we stay there because we have an ulterior motive,
and that's to smoke in the room, the podcast, and we can live low.
Which we're doing right here at the Howard Johnson's in Hattiesburg
only because, A a it's scary it's a nice room really
nice rooms for like 55 60 bucks or something uh yeah it's a really nice room and when they made
me initial for the no smoking here it's only a hundred dollar charge they're like fuck yeah
i'll pay that i would have uh but yeah it's it's your fault for charging so little and for making a
dangerous parking lot there's like five or six people actually they keep coming in and out
there's a u-haul parked out there it's sketchy as fuck they've set up like right out in front of our
room we can't go straight to the highway from here we have to go all the way around to the back
because they set up like highway barriers that they fill up with water so you can't go straight to the highway from here. We have to go all the way around to the back because they set up like highway barriers
that they fill up with water so you can't move them.
That's what's right there.
Yeah, I know.
Between two parts of the parking lot.
So that you can't just whip in one way.
You have to go the long way to get to this side.
So that makes me think that maybe there was some sketchiness.
Here's the thing.
Before they put a fresh coat of paint on it.
I almost thought about calling the cops on the non-emergency line sketchiness well here's the thing before they put a fresh coat of paint on it i almost i thought
about calling the cops on the non-emergency line and go hey can you do a drive-through and fucking
scare some of these fucking people away and it's weird where you're like someone who's very pro
drug but anti the people who sell them on a fucking parking lots but then i thought i mean
there's as many fucking chicks in that you're coming and going and maybe
they're hookers and it's like i remember where you go oh my my mother would make jokes about i'm gonna
have to sell my ass and i go like you're fucking like a 55 year old fucking hacking smoker you're
like who's gonna but then you you realize you watch cops and stuff and then you see the bedraggled
toothless women that are actually getting customers what are you doing doing in the car
why was your head in his lap i don't know i just i'm on my way home yeah most hookers don't become
hookers because they look like jennifer lopez
but i'm saying it was like these gals i don't know what's going on out there
fucking there was one gal out with in her underpants i'm not even kidding and i just
kept walking don't look just go to the fucking door there's definitely some something sort of
unsavory going on because you you had your door barred so we could all kind of go between rooms
and things like that and some guy was actually floating outside of your room,
literally out right at the door for no,
he,
there was no reason he should have been there.
And I think it was because it was like open a crack.
And as soon as I poked my head out to see if my grub hub lady was here,
who,
by the way,
also crazy as fuck.
And she wasn't there.
But as soon as I came out,
he walked away.
And that's when I came over
and told you about him
it was too weird he was really like
seen scoping out
I didn't want anything to happen to you Doug
I love you
I like that Chaley carries his podcast
gear in what looks like a
handgun case
it does
but none of us look like we're packing or could handle a gun
yeah you guys all look like a band and i look like the manager or the roadie more the roadie i guess
well i'm in fucking pajamas and a work shirt i haven't seen a single person in hattiesburg
besides you guys that didn't seem like they were on crystal meth.
Oh, my God.
Don't get ahead of me.
Oh, fuck it.
Let's just last night in Huntsville.
Oh, yeah.
Stand up live in Huntsville.
Fucking good club.
Great time.
Same owners as Zaney's in Nashville.
You know, it's weird.
I've never been to Huntsville, but the sound guy says,
hey, it's good to work with you again.
The big guy in the double-breasted.
Tom knows you through the podcast.
That's why he was wearing that
like double-breasted sea captain's jacket.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
I thought it was just his look.
Yeah, he was a great guy.
But he said it again
as though we've worked together before.
I think, yeah's he's friends
with carlos valencia and a bunch of other comics that that are in those circles and uh it may have
been a thing where he saw you at one of the shows or you know he could have been up at nashville
at zany's or something but they had a they had a a uniformed cop working there like uniform over uniform both venues like full
bulletproof vest with
the shit hanging off the front
and fucking flashbang grenades
I don't know what the fuck he had
it was overkill
for the and the first show
there was two shows
and the first show was the dry
bar comedy show it's like
we don't drink show.
You need a cop with fucking tasers and stuff?
I don't think he was there for that.
He may have been.
Oh, he was.
He was.
Yeah, because they ran a little long.
So when we got there, the show was still going on.
Yeah, he was there.
Yeah, that's weird.
It's very strange. He was cool going on. Yeah, he was there. Yeah, that's weird. It's very strange.
He was cool as shit.
I liked him a lot.
What was his name?
Brandon.
Yeah.
It's funny because after the show, he's a private duty at that point, just uniformed security, but cop uniformed. He's got a taser and a fucking gun.
but cop uniformed. He's got a taser and a fucking gun.
Yeah, he's walking me around from the side smoking exit
from the green room to the front where we're selling merch outside,
which we did both at Nashville.
It's so funny when you sell merch outside on a sidewalk.
It looks like a fucking late night yard sale.
And he's walking me around, and we're going by a parked car and the cop goes on one side
and this guy an older dude he's had to be in his 40s in a polo shirt or a button-down shirt he
looked like and he goes hey hey i hate to ask you this but here here will you sign my bindle of meth
and i'm pointing through the parked car at the cop that's right there i go other side no i
don't think i'm gonna do that yeah because when you're holding it to sign it you are in possession
of meth yeah i'm not gonna put my name on your meth
hey can i use your license to chop this up who Who's this Doug Stanhope fellow, the dumbest drug dealer ever?
Is he new in the biz?
What's his phone number on there?
Phone number?
Got meth?
What else have I signed on this tour?
Well, it's really weird.
We were at, I can't remember where but the oh it was Charlotte
Comedy Zone
and a guy came up
and he goes
I got four nipples
oh Jesus
put your flash on dude
I'll take the picture
but I don't need
a story here
and he fucking lifts
I mean this guy
that's all he does
every night
waits till it gets dark
and I have to start
lifting his shirt
and he
he had like two nipples
where they're supposed to be
and then about the width of a hand there's two more nipples he's as hairy as a fucking sweater
so it's kind of hard to tell he could have just had two pieces of band-aids on there but he he did
and uh you signed that and that was that was weird i signed someone's ankle bracelet that was uh that
was just the other night in Nashville, out on the street.
He had...
And once again, there was a cop there
at Zaney's.
Oh yeah, you told me that.
And I didn't even notice, or I was drunk, both.
He was pretty subdued, but they
do have these cops there.
And I gotta say, Chase and I were talking
about it after the first night.
That's conducive to comedy.
But I'll tell you what, on the second night when we were in Huntsville,
boy, there wasn't a lot of fucking around when you wanted to get someone out of there.
Oh, yeah, when you have the bomb squad cop.
SWAT team looking guy.
The alternative to that is
You have the biggest guy on your crew
Go over and tell that table to shut up
Or you know
It works
And another thing I noticed
Two of the best rooms
We worked were
Not just the cop last night
But Madison and Huntsville
Both do that thing with the bag for the phones.
Not Huntsville.
It was Nashville.
The yonder.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm sorry.
Yeah.
It was.
Yeah.
The cop was Huntsville.
Yeah.
The bag was Nashville and Madison.
And it's a house rule.
Comedy on stage.
And this is so important for that rule is when a club you know makes that you
get to put your cell phone in a bag and you get it back later or however it works it's not because
i didn't know how it worked either and i watched i saw comedy on state because we had two days there
in madison and it was fucking seamless you didn't even know what was going on the first night because
i told them don't say anything to doug i might go ape shit. No, I didn't know
how you'd react, but I wanted to see if you
even noticed people futzing or
going. It was not a fucking problem.
They give you the bag when you're walking in.
You put your phone in
the bag and there's a magnetic lock on there
like a security thing on
a tag on a piece of clothing. You need
a magnet to get it off. So you put
your phone on vibrate
you enjoy the show if something comes up and it vibrates you go out into the showroom which you
out of the showroom out of the showroom into the lobby there's someone there to open it they just
put it on the thing it opens up and then you make your phone call make your text or do whatever
and then and then you go back in when you're ready to participate in the show. What's important is the club.
That's their rule.
Yes.
Because when I heard, oh, so-and-so is doing this now,
well, then that makes the comic look like a dick.
But if it's a house rule, then, hey, it's out of my hands.
There's nothing I can do.
But it's not even as much about recording and taking pictures.
It's just people are so accustomed to playing with their fucking phone. Picking it up.
Checking it.
I'm just going to check in.
This bit's boring.
I've heard it before.
Whatever.
I'm going to check my tweets.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Seeing someone looking at their phone, even if they're not filming or doing anything disruptive,
just seeing the glow on their face makes me so resentful.
Which you can see from stage because you look like you're haunting the place.
Your face is white.
It makes me so resentful and it immediately
changes my tone.
Charlotte, at the Comedy Zone, we were sitting in the back
stage left, so we're like
way in the corner, usually where the staff sits
when they're not busy, right?
So there's a guy
on the other side of the little wall,
and him and his buddy are sitting there.
And I see him just picking up his phone,
just doing that thing.
He's like, he's looking at the stage,
but then he's got this phone,
and he's kind of doing this thing
where he's flipping through.
And you see him, and you go down.
He's fucking texting,
like during the show that cost $45.
And it's like, I'm pissed at that,
but I'm like, but if I go up to him now, he's going to go, oh, okay, text.
I go, there's no way.
At some point, he's going to go, oh, yeah, I'll just record.
So I waited.
And I waited.
And then finally, I see he's going to videotape you.
Because he's gotten so used to that.
And I'm right on him with that fucking big bright
flashlight oh yes i remember this and i hit the light and i hit him with the light like i tap him
on the shoulder i go put that away right now like instantly he barely got his thumb over record
when i'm like getting it's like jesus christ where'd the fucking batman come from and that
and that was it shut him down but i just i was talking to tracy about it later i go if i would have told him hey cut it out texting it would have just it would have just
been oh whatever whatever but he i knew he was going to record because everyone they get so used
to that thing but and point being is that when you put the phone in the bag you can't even look at it
you can't see it it goes out of your mind and your focus
is on the on the show i think it's probably similar to how once i get on a plane i don't
need to smoke cigarettes like because i know i can't so it's out of my head i'm not going to
be able to smoke for the next fucking 14 hours to australia i don't think about it until i land
and like hurry up customs i need a fucking cigarette oh my gosh yeah but uh i think it's
similar absolutely and what you're talking about is like uh chappelle was famous for starting he
did a show or a couple of shows where they did that and i think yonder has a deal where artists
can take them to certain events or like when they're going out on a tour they'll
rent the system and they'll go out and do it
but yeah
if more venues start implementing
that rule I think you're right though because
Comedy on State they said they've had
no fucking pushback from it and
Lucy at Nashville said the same
thing no it's great they do it a little different
there they let everyone walk in with their bag
and their phone
so that when they're there early
getting their food or whatever,
they can still text and everything
and then they go right on
five minutes before
they actually start
the pre-show stuff.
They get up there
and someone says,
all right, everyone,
put the phones in the bags.
And it's a total honor system.
And until someone fucks with it,
it works.
Well, and it also,
in the venue's favor it eliminates the need
for this dress down where before the show ladies and gentlemen are you ready to have a good time
you can do better than that you before you have a good time if we catch you filming we'll throw
you out if you talk to anyone if you yell at the performers, we'll fucking staple on your eyes
shut.
What did that one guy say, Doug?
He goes, Doug is very secretive with his performance.
Oh, yeah.
He blamed it on me.
Yeah.
He blamed it on me.
Like other shows, you can just film all you like.
But this guy.
Yeah.
He's got deep. he's fucking deep throat he's gonna tell you what happened with the ukraine
he doesn't want it to be leaked i do i like the honor system idea a lot though because you're
right if they have the bag and the phone and they're caught filming they they know it's like i
wish i don't know if we already talked about get him out the fucking door totally yeah you've just the phone and they're caught filming they know it's like I should have been in a bag
I don't know if we already talked about it
get them out the fucking door
you've gone so far out of the way
to break a rule that is so easy
to follow no one's saying you have to sit there
and you can't talk
to anyone on your phone out in the
lobby they're saying
respect the show that's being put on
for you
for whatever a dozen years that I've had to the lobby right they're saying respect the the show that's being put on for you exactly yeah
yeah for whatever a dozen years that i've had to have different bits trying to stop people from
filming usually when you say hey fucking keep your phone in your pocket most of the audience
applauds because they're fucking sick of everyone with their phone even if they're tweeting on the
side oh my god omg i'm right here third row you know it's
making me think uh seeing the yonder thing uh like what other things we could do and i was like
all right listen anyone pulls out their phone and records no merch just throw something out
like a dollar mower on all beer something that. Something. Then you'd get everyone to be like, come on, motherfucker, put your phone away.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Well, then, no, I've gone with that tactic where you're basically imploring.
This is the problem is people aren't as smart as you.
So you say something that leads people to go, all right i'm starting a fist fight without knowing
it someone's gonna go you put that fucking phone away motherfucker i'll crush your skull last night
the huntsville lady where uh she was front row and she was pretty pickled off of her frozen
fucking pina colada drinks and then i said something that triggered some synapse where
she needed to share with me and i just instinctively put the microphone in front of her face
and she went on some heartfelt diatribe of something and it was she's just and and and
then but people are shouting her down don't shut the fuck up i go no no i'm just
giving her a second she i go she's a little drunk we were she it was one of those things where the
tv they have a tv in the green room so you can watch the show so these are front row center
a couple and it probably don't get out much you can can tell. They saved up a lot of...
Was it the guy with the hat?
Yeah.
The guy that they were sharing a drink,
you were going to make the double straw for him?
The malt shop?
Yeah.
He had listened to the podcast.
I'm pretty sure she'd never heard of you.
And he had heard the podcast
and he asked who I was and how...
And I said, Shaylee.
He goes, what?
He goes, how do you know Doug?
And I'm like well
maybe he's just tuned into the podcast or something because i don't expect people to know
me yeah but if they've heard the podcast or they've been to one of your shows before they
would know that i'm part of the of the group kind of thing and so i think that was his first time
being at a show uh yeah they seemed like first time like they've saved up to one day go to a show
because vacation is out of the question in the in the in the short term of the next 20 years with
the amount of kids they have but maybe one day we could save up to go to that one club that charges
a thing well i guess now we answered the question though of like who wants to sit in the front row at a comedy show yes
yeah uh they probably were there but the point was afterwards i i told the crowd to fucking
leave her alone and i go she's a little pickled we counted how many of these uh
pina coladas she had frozen frozen and she goes i don't usually drink like she shrank away from it
like she wasn't i mean it wasn't like in the middle of a bit where she wanted attention to just
you know i get it she just she had something on her mind because she was a little chatty during
my set too but not talking over me just if i had a beat where i paused she would have something to
say but i don't remember what it was but it was always very sweet like something like i think at one point she said
no you're doing fine we're all just racist here in the south
you should have gave her the mic
oh that's the guy that i didn't even hear that was chattanooga where
oh my we're still guessing i get some hate mail we'll get into it in a second
but we're thinking maybe that's the guy that i got the hate mail from in chattanooga because
someone yelled out during your show yeah fuck black people or something well what had happened
was i was on stage and i was doing like a little bit of crowd work i think about like uh i was
asking if everybody was gonna drive home drunk and they were like yeah and then i was like fuck the police right and then everybody was like yeah fuck the
police and then i said something about like as long as they're not killing any black people right
guys and they were like yeah and then it got quiet and he just went fuck black people and everybody
went no like no like the visceral reaction from everyone was so like we all decided in the same instant
it was us against that guy and then you're talking about your special needs sister and he goes
fuck that retard or something yeah he said that and he was like doing that thing that passive
aggressive like cacklingling demon laugh of contempt
when you have a punchline.
But it was that sweaty guy with the fucking moon face
in a suit or something.
Came up to the merch table like he was planning
a fucking manifesto to tell you.
Yeah, he was just an unhappy camper
from the moment the show started.
He was also very angry.
He was shit-faced.
I got a long email, which the more i thought about it
i tried to troll the guy a little bit but i think he was wise to me after that because i i hadn't
worked the comedy catch the actual comedy club in chattanooga since 2001 and i brought that up on
stage talking to the owner there's a bit bit of a back story that we had.
So I and this guy sent me a hate mail the next day.
The two hate mails I got from Chattanooga.
No one from Chattanooga.
This one where he said that was I've seen you and Chattanooga since 2001.
And every time you come to Atlanta we're at your shows and I've never seen
less effort put into a show and I'm never going to talk you up again and you shouldn't be rude to
your fans after the show there wasn't a lot of people there. And the ones that were there fake laughing, you should pay them.
It was obvious because he kept mentioning after the show, like he's a guy I didn't want to hang out with.
Like saying, hey, let's go to a bar.
I don't remember anyone after that fucking show.
I was talking to kid Dave Miller who I haven't seen since fucking 1994 or something.
I don't remember you being rude after the show at all.
And I wonder.
It's usually me who is like, all right, guys, hey, thanks a lot.
And I try and move them along.
But they can, being drunk, they interpret that as somehow they're being slighted because they don't get this total face time with you.
And I don't understand that because they see how many people.
I drove all the way from Atlanta. Well, people drive from bisbee yeah way further all night i'll tell you what
that guy you're talking about the moon face guy that was he was kind of leaning tower of pisa you
know at the merch booth that's why i thought it might be him but this guy was there with his wife
yeah this guy was with oh was he yeah oh good no no the guy was there with his dad so he's standing
at the merch booth you're still down by the stats, yeah. So he's standing at the merch booth.
You're still down by the train car somewhere.
You're not over there at the merch booth yet.
Another one out on the sidewalk, right?
So Tracy's like, that's the guy right there.
And I'm all just, Tracy's like, I'm not selling to him.
I'm going to send him away.
I go, come on, just relax.
Oh, good.
And I go, you can't do that because we'll take his money.
Let's assume it's that
guy then it is well because when in the email when he said laughing at all the wrong things
is that what he said about the crowd he said no no he said they were fake laughing like he was
fake laughing that's what was bothering me more i shut that guy down at one point i goes hey get
with peer pressure and stop laughing at my jokes because
no one else is no he had the most contemptuous like haha i'm laughing at the wrong part laugh
it was it was so disturbing well tracy got the last laugh because as i go to find doug to bring
him over to the merch booth and he comes up and goes when's doug coming out to sign? And Tracy says, in about an hour, he'll be back.
Oh, that's why?
He fucking took off.
Why are you so rude to your fans after the show?
Who's that fucking guy?
I want to dox you and give out your fucking email.
I thought that was great, though, because he was cross-eyed drunk.
Leaning, like stutter-steutter stepping and there was no reason it would
have just been a weirdness thing good all right that that mystery solved fuck you
i'll just give you a fake name john smith
oh so uh we started talking about things you signed no no i'm going to the second hate mail
which okay was uh the fact that he said the least effort i've ever seen anyone put into a performance
i wasn't in the greatest mood which night was this chattanooga that guy but the next night in nashville which was a fucking blowout show someone fucking sent me
email i wasted 250 i grew up watching lenny bruce and george carlin and rodney dangerfield
and i expected new comedy and and and then it uh then it trailed off into, and I had a perfectly placed comment,
and as soon as I said it, they told me to shut up.
He must have written it drunk.
But again, it's not about,
because that fucking show, Nashville.
That was a great show.
That was fantastic.
Everything about that show.
And I did do too much shit off the new special,
which made me paranoid.
Yeah, last time you can see it live.
Well, I did fall into a lot of it,
but if there was one that I put the least effort into,
it was that one.
That's why I did three bits off the new special
because it's not out yet.
Unless you were in Vegas to see it performed.
I haven't been in nashville for
fucking years so i i whatever it was yeah he got told to shut up both of those guys in fact that
guy did chattanooga guy got alfano the owner came over and told him to shut up and i said something
about hey he's the only guy laughing or something uh but yeah the hate mail is usually routed somewhere
other than because nashville yeah i didn't put a lot of effort in there i i went a little bit uh
autopilot but the crowd was so fucking good they were hot and i and i we spent the day with fucking
bird cloud so yeah i didn't have a lot of notes in front of me
when Mackenzie's hanging around.
Sometimes those are the best shows, though,
is when we're just relaxed
and we don't put a fucking stress set together
and try to remember everything.
That fucking crowd was out of control good.
They always are at Nashville.
And I've had a lot of shows where we hung out with Bird Cloud.
Bird Cloud has a story, but it's not mine to tell I almost got her drunk enough to uh to do a podcast but I I didn't want
to do that to her yeah we were close I don't that would have been one of those things where I'd have
to not put it out yeah to hear it oh no I told her I said if you do it there's no i'm not going to take any you know
fucking the old thing of the uh 24 hour regret no but uh she was there with uh she's been uh
tour managing this guy that you had just downloaded yeah i found well i found his album on spotify
and it's like before you before mckenzie before we got to nashville you had been
listening to this guy on tour yeah yeah i had been it was like one of my sort of like pump me up
before a show playlist because it's like blues and there's like he said there's a lot of like
cajun influences oh yeah it sounds like fucking robert johnson fucking crosses down at the
crossroads yeah and i so and his album cover is him with the like skull face paint on and so
until we got to nashville i thought that i was listening to a black man in the 1940s
i had no idea that he was white and alive and australian
and and she just got done almost mirroring our tour. They were in a bunch of the same towns, but not at the same time.
They just got done with six weeks.
And so he came to the show and he talked.
I remember being drunk saying, you talk like a didgeridoo.
He had this weird voice and he sounded sometimes Icelandic.
Tracy thought he was Creole, and he was very muted.
Tracy thought he was Creole.
Thought he was from Louisiana.
Just like down swamp where you can't really hear him. Yeah, I try to get him to make full sentences
because otherwise he's just kind of chirping.
He was so sweet.
I loved him.
Yeah, his name is C.W. Stoneking.
Did we say his name yet?
No.
No, no, C.W. Stone King.
Fantastic.
He's got a couple albums out.
And the one you're talking about, I suggest, if you're going to listen to it, go on iTunes,
download Gone Boogaloo, which is the one with the painted skull on his face.
Yeah.
I mean, it's an old timey photo.
Like you dress up in the thing and they make it look like you're back in the saloon days.
Oh, yeah.
No, totally.
I mean, it's an old scratchy photo.
So I can see where you think like, ah, this guy, we lost a good one with this guy.
No, that's what I was thinking.
I thought I was listening to some like old black guy I'd never heard of before.
It made me so happy.
I said that in the car today.
I go, this guy is so authentic sounding that I kind of feel ashamed like I just watched a minstrel show and enjoyed it.
It's almost to a place where I understand cultural appropriation.
Cause yeah,
that's way too bucking on the nose.
Well,
the night after,
after that show,
I downloaded the album to listen to it.
And I'm like,
wow,
man,
the whole time he was talking, you know,
when everyone was talking after the show,
I couldn't understand what he was saying.
I was like, he should sing when he talks.
Yeah, when you hear him sing, it's like, who was the, not Merle Haggard,
but the one that stuttered.
Mel Tillis.
Mel Tillis.
Yeah, he didn't stutter when he sang but otherwise yeah that was great man it was nice
to see mckinsey too and and fuck it today i get a bingo calls me and says hey uh she got a call
from dana who runs the quarry in bisbee saying hey um lucinda williams is a huge fan of yours and she wants you to come by her penthouse
for cocktails tonight and i go well where is she and bingo says nashville i go that's fucking two
nights ago wow what a burn hopefully it was a lie i'm just gonna believe that it was a lie
nashville would be i think one time we did Nashville at Zany's.
We were there on an off night, and then we did the show.
And it was two times ago, I think.
And that was cool, because we got to go...
There was a time that...
With Ralphie?
Falco.
Oh, yeah.
We had an off night, because I remember Bingo was with us.
So that was a while ago.
Yeah.
And that would be a place I'd like to spend an off day and actually do something another victim of my new
phone chad riding sorry i just turned my phone on today hey can you sneak me into the nashville show
none of you don't have the new number which only the fucking not vips but emergency only the chalice and the bingos and the fucking yeah is this
business related because otherwise uh yeah that uh i don't know where you're going
no you were talking about your hate mail you have uh oh yeah
this is why i can't fucking check my email in the morning.
Yeah.
Like, if I just don't turn on my computer until fucking stabilized evening, happy hour.
All day.
Check them then.
Then I write back, hey, thanks for coming.
I get a lot of great fucking Huntsville tweets and emails.
Hey, thank you very much.
I appreciate it it in the morning
i don't appreciate shit i shit all over this guy i hope you you came back to the podcast
i i duglet i didn't talk about this on it i don't know someone said hey duglet and it's a
fucking he had sent something i guess he's got some pending fucking court case and he wanted some supporter help
he goes hey douglet and i go i've never heard that before douglet like piglet it's kind of cute
and uh then he said i ignore it of course as if it's not pressing i don't necessarily get back to
you but then he said two more me again douglet and the way i'm reading it the third time hey there douglet it's like some
it sounded like a fucking bully going yeah really is that what you're gonna do douglet
hey douglet so i was just reading it like that because i'm in my morning hates
and uh and then i just wrote him back some fuck you. You sound like some fucking punk bully.
I shit on him
and then he's like, I never
met you and fuck you.
He wasn't being demeaning? No, he thought
he had a fucking
cute name.
He just came across as some fucking punk
kid saying that.
So I eventually apologized.
I did the right thing.
You added too much anger.
I think it's your fault for emailing me in the morning.
Even if I haven't checked my emails for days,
I don't know when you sent it,
but I know I read it in the morning.
I can understand though how by the third one,
you'd be like,
is this guy fucking with me?
Like it's almost as annoying as someone who does the same fucking punchline
three times in a row. fucking with me like it's almost as annoying as someone who does the same fucking punch line three
times in a row like andy tends to do where andy will like stumble into a fucking and then make
it a call back like 15 times to where it's not funny anymore but this was like personal like
you're just like i like douglet now i'm gonna get a million fucking emails hey douglet all right i get it now all right uh
if you're done with that we can finish up well no you have some you signed would you have some
huntsville stories or maybe you already covered them you said yes whatever i said you're gonna
write that shit down kaylee so we're gonna forget it's getting near it's getting near setting up the
merch out in the uh outside after the huntsville show we were up the merch outside.
After the Huntsville show, we were going to do merch outside
because there's no place to really do it.
And I go to the back of the room by the soundboard.
What's up?
She wants a cocktail.
She's looking for glasses.
All right.
If you want to watch that, why not?
You can use it.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
He's drinking beer.
Do you want to take a break and get everyone set up?
All right.
Let's take a break.
Yeah, take a break.
And then we can do a commercial.
It's not a break for them.
We're just going to be right back.
We're going to take a break.
Yeah.
In fact, why don't you take a break,
even though we're going to, in one second, say,
okay, we're back.
But you get a cocktail, listener.
You should always have a cocktail during this podcast let
us hear your ice please hold we're back did you get a cocktail yeah we should have given you more
time all right so uh huntsville after the show i don't even remember this. All I remember is going, write that down before we forget it.
During the show, the security guard was there.
Well, off-duty cop, armed, was there.
Off-duty only to him, to anyone in the room.
He's on fucking duty.
He's a servant of the community.
I mean, if something goes down, he's there.
So you were fucking with him a little bit.
It was fun.
He was enjoying the show and stuff.
And I see him in back with the manager and this one guy wearing his, you know,
his going out to a comedy show shorts and skater T-shirt.
And, I mean, this guy, he's in his 30s easily maybe a little older and uh patron
not the cop yeah cop was a black guy you can't tell how old he is and so i i go over there and
i go oh this guy's getting kicked out because they're like well no we'll take i got a tab
it's like oh we'll take care of your tab right back here so they're they're checking him out and uh the cop
is like standing there because i mean come on this is this pretty petty shit right and so he's like
no no the guy tried to walk towards a wall to get out of there right the guy's all this way this way
and so they get him out front and then now trace and i are out there and he's just sitting there
and he's he's fine but he's waiting for an uber or whatever right and he comes over goes how's your night going I go
pretty good how are you doing all right because uh yeah I don't know I don't know why I'm out
here though I go what do you mean because uh yeah they just they kicked me out i go well why because i really don't know i go all right
level with me dude you're out you're not there's you can't appeal to me i'm not i can't get you
back in just tell me the truth what happened he goes i honestly think they singled me out
and they just kicked me out i go that, that doesn't work as a business plan.
What the fuck, right?
One guy each show.
One guy each show, Tracy says.
And he really was like, I could see in his eyes,
he has no fucking idea why they kicked him out.
Formally escorted him out of there.
And then right after that, this long-haired, tall dude,
not the guy with the stuffed animal, but another guy.
Oh, thank God that guy didn't fucking come to it.
I saw him at the merch booth.
You warned me.
Go ahead.
So this guy comes out, and he's fucking on edge.
Like, oh, fine.
Okay.
What did you say, Tracy?
I'm fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
And then the gal that's with him is like, just trying to, I said, I'd take you here
and I'll take you home, but you don't need to act like this kind of thing.
You know?
And she's like, just settle down.
He goes, fine, fine.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
So that's the second guy that get kicked out.
And I don't, I don't know why.
And he was going, yeah, that's fine.
Fine.
No, that's fine.
This is the last time last time and
this is all happening outside right there's no way to get back in and he said uh yeah i don't even
fucking care he can shoot me in the fucking head i don't even care i told olivia i go yeah die for
comedy right you're gonna die for you want to want to go. Is this the Thursday you're going to, the hill you're going to die on?
And finally they end up leaving.
But he was doing this thing like, like showing like the girl that was going to drive him
and settle this whole thing, taking him home.
Doing the finger gun in his mouth.
I'm like, what a fucking tool.
How did he even get in there, right?
Listen, Huntsville is evidently known for some smart shit,
like the Space Center and rocket ships and shit.
But watching people leave at the end of the night,
it's Alabama as fuck.
People in the most broke-down cars,
fucking pickup trucks like a 1988 with the chevy love yeah the the the bed
is kind of half leaning off the frame and then squealing their fucking tires so when we got back
in i found the manager and i said you gotta tell me the there was a guy that got kicked out. He goes, well, there was two. And I go, okay, the first one, the shorter guy with the skater shirt,
I go, he has no idea why he was kicked out
and left outside to wait for his Uber.
And he goes, oh, the guy who was whistling during the show?
And I go, what?
He goes, he was in the back row and he was whistling and finally someone alerted the the
the staff and they go you can't and he just kept whistling so they kicked him out and it's like
that's fucking drunk he was so drunk he was either laughing and making a whistle noise which come on
that wasn't it he was i remember now, because on the drive home,
I'm talking to you now, Tom Konopka.
I don't have to call you.
I just talked to you on the podcast.
Yeah, I came up as the Tom Konopka
theremin whistle.
I wish I could do Tom Konopka's whistle,
but it goes through you
like aluminum foil on a filling.
But it's not appropriate during a comedy show.
It rattles your nervous system.
But was it, okay, was it the sleeping guy last night?
No, I'm satisfied with that.
I'm like, sure, that guy was drunk enough
that he could have been whistling fucking a musical
and not know it, right?
So then I go, what about the other guy oh that guy yeah a
bunch of the staff came over and said there's a guy nodding off like well being that drunk
should have sat him with the meth guy but being that drunk or that bored at a comedy show get the
fuck out he actually one guy said his head was on the table and that is it that's
not boredom no i i'm saying as a as a let's do a little psa here if you are caught sleeping in a
bar you should be anywhere but in that bar it's fucking highly illegal for a bar to let you sleep
in a bar first thing that they'll
do is go well are you over serving you know what the why is this guy fucking passed out in your bar
so yeah he and that was the guy who just was going crazy outside with like god shoot me in the head
it's like just because you didn't get a straight eight the night before don't don't fucking push
a cop to uh to uh you you arrest. I mean, come on.
And he was pissed off all the way to the car
where she was having to calm him down.
It just didn't seem like that was...
And both of those things happened
without you knowing anything was happening in the showroom
because they had a guy that took care of the situation
immediately and got him the fuck out of the room.
There's been a lot of nights on this tour where shit has happened that i'm not aware of and it's not like we're in a fucking
arena i my hearing's not good and i'm you know i have tiny fucking ears and i'm not paying attention
to the back of the room uh but yeah i don't notice a lot of this shit. Well, I mean, the fucking cop.
But the cop being in the room,
it answered the question that Trace and I were talking to about it
after the first night in Nashville of like,
how effective is that to have, you know,
a metal detector outside your bar
that kind of sends a message to everyone
walking through the metal detector.
Maybe we should go drink somewhere else. and the cop being there i think it's less about the fact that he's armed and more about he knows how to handle the situation and he gets a
little an amount of respect that if i go up to you i shine the light in your face you don't see how
small i am i can get away with it if i'm looming over you and go turn turn off that phone but i
think that that is one of those things where that you don't see that happening and it's not because
it's far away or something like that it's handled professionally and discreetly but there's other
nights where there's the fucking what was uh it was uh funny bone in charlotte was it charlotte the mall uh no no
raleigh yeah no no no no no guys charlotte is a comedy zone syracuse no it was uh
any one of the many funny bones is the big one and they're all in a mall it doesn't matter it
doesn't matter but the we had oh it was uh you move the guy from the front row to the back row.
Raleigh.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that guy.
So we had another guy that was popping off the whole time.
And every time I went in the room, I didn't see it.
I'd come out and go, I don't know.
It was like he was fucking with me.
It's like taking your car to a fucking shop.
It makes a tonka tonk sound. But when they try it, it doesn't do it. Your tires will open. I don't know. It's like he was fucking with me. It's like taking your car to a fucking shop. It makes it to Tonka Tonk sound.
But when they try it, it doesn't do it.
Your tires open.
I don't know.
But I couldn't get the guy.
But the guy was there.
It was a problem.
And no one fucking took care of it satisfactorily until the end of that when the show was over.
And I found out, oh, that was the guy about the beer for.
I didn't hear him heckling in there because I was out chatting with him in the bar
while he was getting a beer.
But it is one of those things where that doesn't happen
in some of those rooms
because there's someone that's taking care of it.
The funny thing about Huntsville,
and I said it a couple times on stage
because I'd point out one guy and the whole crowd laughed.
And I go, does everyone know everyone in this show because it
felt like that like is this an entire sorry to bring up the inbred thing about alabama but are
you like an extended kinfolk but uh then after the show after i waited of professional courtesy till the guy that asked me to sign his meth bindle
was gone and then i narked him out to the cop i just because it's a funny story you're right
next to a cop and you asked me to sign your meth and i so i said that to the cop and the cop turned
on his heels went away then came back and this girl who kept telling me how cute she was, so she gets special privileges.
She's telling you how cute she is.
Yeah.
Well, how else are you supposed to know?
But Doug's eyes work.
But the point is, she came back for like the eighth time at the end.
Like, we're already wrapped up merch.
Okay, we're done.
I actually said that to the cop who's standing behind me during merch.
And I go, I kind of want to tell him that we're past curfew and you're making me close down merch because I'm sick of doing this.
And he goes, put it on me.
I'll be the bad guy.
That's what I get paid for.
And we didn't have to do that.
Put it on me.
I'll be the bad guy.
That's what I get paid for.
And we didn't have to do that.
But when we really were leaving, she came running over with one more poster that her friend didn't get signed.
And I was about to do it.
And he goes, no, it's over.
You got to go.
And I was not going to usurp his authority.
And then he walked back in.
He goes, no, she's with the dude that wanted you to sign her meth. I'm like, oh, so everyone does know everyone here, especially the cops.
Yeah, I got to tell you, the merch booth, Tracy runs the merch,
and I try and just run us through the line as quick as possible.
And I'll tell people that are listening,
if you want something signed and we're doing merch don't lag because as soon as i see that no one's at the
merch booth i have tracy start packing it up and then that's the time's ticking for you to leave
because we we could be there all night and there'd still be someone waiting oh you are you closing up
are you closing up sorry i can't tell if I'm seeing a reflection.
Yeah, it's Tracy.
Don't worry.
But it's one of those things where if you want to do it, get it.
Get it early.
Get it often.
But don't lag.
You won't have to worry about that on this tour because this will be going out while we're driving 14 straight hours back to Bisbee to deal with the Andy Andrist filming at the Funhouse debacle.
I'm looking forward to the product, but the fucking problems.
So I had a question.
Issues with Andy will be live in my house
after a six-week tour and a 14-fucking-hour drive.
I go right into real issues with Andy in your house
and his crew of fucking six.
I have to ask you, is Andy doing...
How much time is Andy doing that he's recording?
I don't fucking know.
Who knows?
Andy doesn't know how much time he's doing
when you say do 25 opening.
He could do an hour just on a fucking regular gig.
He could do nine.
I thought he was recording 20 minutes.
He's recording two different nights.
20 minutes.
No.
Okay.
What?
He's recording a special thing.
I have no idea.
That's the first I heard of it was when we were recording last week.
He's going to record at whatever length of time he talks less editing
i don't know what he's doing with this i don't know if it's for the documentary i don't know
i have no idea i just said yeah you can film in the funhouse the best shows we've ever had
without fail have been in the funhouse yes you, you can record here. I'll invite people.
Best or drunkest?
We've had the fucking Farts Fest.
Just

comic we've put on

there's the best
fucking audiences
ever
it reminds me of
the old
the old roasts
before they were
popular
and were public
where like
no one's gonna see it
the Friars
the old Friars roast
that you would
cause it was always personal.
Like, Jeslenak was cutting.

Well, you know what?
I'll tell you afterwards, Jaylee.
What?
You have a surprise for me?
Well, no, there's bits.
I keep thinking I should do some bits just for the podcast or especially for Patreon people.
Like the bits that are just burning on any given night about the town or the situation.
I should be thinking, oh, there's a fucking six minute chunk we can put on.
We'll talk about it.
But then it'll just be after the music.
And we also, yeah, we have a well we have a
full night of drinking ahead of us on our last night off we we're gonna talk about we talked
about bonuses for patreon people other than just that one extra podcast we have some ideas so uh
yeah we might put that into play um because i can i can contact them through the Patreon interface.
So I can put a message.
Verify they are Patreon?
No, it only goes to Patreon people.
They're the only ones who can see it because they can log in.
And we can do something for one of the last shows for Patreon people.
That'll be at San Antonio.

Do you want to?
Oh, wait.
San Antonio is Tuesday, though, isn't it? I can message them right to. Oh, wait. San Antonio is Tuesday, though, isn't it?

Oh, oh, oh, Patreon.
All right.
All right.
But that's the thing.
When you're a subscriber, if I want to ask a question of the listeners, I just do it.

traverse city is a little light doing a convention in ve. There's so much to do in New Orleans.
That's why they've never had a full-time comedy

club but could sustain
professional sports teams.
