We could do that. Why don't we just have fake Inman? It's not hard to do an Inman. Are you guys fucking with me? I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:00:51 That was the one thing when we were driving to a gig one time. I'll Phil Hendry the whole fucking podcast. Oh, let's get Phil Hendry. No shit. That'd be fun. Well, let me just try and hit him up one more oh i'll try the phone thing i tried the video and he didn't answer i wish two of us were like if tracy was good at this she could be trying to pull up inman while i just tell you about my
Starting point is 00:01:19 fucking oh there's that cat i i I didn't want the cat in, but then I think all those fucking gnats are going to eat his head. We have a plague of gnats. Sorry, I just... Now I'm already confused because we just talked to Olivia Grace doing sound checks.
Starting point is 00:01:40 And I'm already within seconds thinking, did we already say this on the podcast or is that five seconds ago talking to Olivia Grace? But yeah, we have a plague of gnats because the wind died, and it looks like fucking snow flurries outside. Just going out to piss. They're like all over your head,
Starting point is 00:01:58 and you go, do I just let my dick free and slap my face repeatedly with both hands? Or do I one hand the dick? You have to understand we piss in a urinal based over a fence towards another street set down. So when you piss at the urinal, you just look like a fucking creepy Kilroy guy staring over a fence. And if you are standing there and just repeatedly hitting your face like a fucking baboon
Starting point is 00:02:27 because of the plague of fucking gnats, you'd want to yell out to the person, it's okay, I'm pissing. Most of us are around the same height,
Starting point is 00:02:41 so your nose is like right at the fence line. at the end of that fucking word, Chaley. What? Height. It's not height. So your nose is like right at the fence line. There's no H at the end of that fucking word, Chaley. What? Height. It's not height. It's not like width.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Did you say height? I said height. You said height. Height. We're at the same height. There's no th. There's width. Oh.

Starting point is 00:06:40 I got my microphone working. I got my audio working and my videos working. Great. Just stay on the phone. Just keep the phone near your face and we'll conduct it this way. Can you see me? No, you can't. You mean you can't get your Skype working?
Starting point is 00:07:00 He's saying there's no delay with Skype. Why do you fuck up everything, James? I'm not fucking this up. I fucking run 15 websites. I got a goddamn quad-core i7 and 12 terabytes of hard drive space. But you can't sit in a fucking chair doing a Skype interview?
Starting point is 00:07:22 I got 32 gigs of RAM, bitch. It looks like you have a RAM on your bed. Was that a fucking, what kind of animal just jumped on your futon? Oh, that's a, I'm trying to do some maintenance around the house. This is a. Oh, that's a goat that eats your garbage? No, Brenda's got a, she's got a goddamn mannequin that I'm trying to fix.

Starting point is 00:07:47 No, there was some tailless animal that just jumped up on your futon. That's my dog, Arlo. Oh. Yeah. How is this audio not working? Your phone's working. Yeah, but... James,
Starting point is 00:08:10 listen, you've done all but beg and pay me to be on the fucking podcast and you just... Oh, God, don't even start with me. I don't even know. This is bullshit. Don't even start the bullshit.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I know you're starting the bullshit right now because I'm your number one guest alright Shaylee's already told me that
Starting point is 00:08:30 I never said that cause if all you have to do is look I'll find the tweet the number one is Fat Mike and Burt Kreischer
Starting point is 00:08:38 is right on right he's number one now because he hasn't had me on in a while but don't even he's
Starting point is 00:08:44 I don't want to do this podcast until you get Skype running. None of this is being recorded. None of this better be recorded. I agree with you, James. I don't want to do this interview until Skype's working and then Nickelback. All right, let me see if it's on my end. All right?
Starting point is 00:09:03 Oh, I thought it absolutely was not your end. Well, I'm like, you could never be for sure about anything, actually. Yeah. Chaley runs 18 websites and has 60,000 gigabytes of RAMs. So, is Mishka on? Oh, hang on. Here's Mishka.? Oh, hang on.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Here's Mishka. Can we put you on hold? Hang on. Can you hear Mishka? See, Mishka's working fine. I can't even see Mishka. Oh, come on. Come on.
Starting point is 00:09:37 She's fucking with us, dude. Grow up, James. Learn how to use a computer. I'm not fucking with you. This is... Fuck, I used Zoom and I had no problems whatsoever I was the one who actually got you your first computer and 20 years later
Starting point is 00:09:56 I got I got you your first computer you fucking changed history you're like Forrest in 1984 you always rewrite history You, your first computer. You fucking changed history. You're like Forrest in 1984. You always rewrite history. God damn.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I'm just copying my answers. Is this your first interview? No. Actually, I did the drink and the beer blowjob joke before you did at Open Mic Bitty. Gloves are off. I literally did that joke at open mic, but I stopped doing it because I thought somebody else was doing it.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah, you were right. You did it the best. I mean, you were the best at it because you shook the beer up and you fucking made it spurt. I don't know. You got more laughs on it than I did. I did milk that bit for many a year, James Inman.
Starting point is 00:10:52 It was the good old days. Before I was well known and people came to see new materials. You still live in that world. You exist in this golden age of comedy where no one's coming to see you, so you can just repeat the exact same bits for 20, 30 years. I don't do that. I've been doing improv for the past 20, 30 years. I think all of the jokes that are on my CD I wrote on stage.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah, I may repeat a joke if I'm in the middle of something and I think about it, but I don't, my creative process is totally different from yours. I just go on stage and I talk off the top of my head. That's what I've been doing. Yeah, that's why a lot of other comedians actually write that shit down and make sure it's funny before it comes to
Starting point is 00:11:40 the... Yeah, if it's funny, I'll do it again. If it's funny, it turns into a bit. And so you don't have... I can't believe this is not working. Speakers, real tech, high-definition audio. Are you on a Dell? I'm... I can play music coming out of this.
Starting point is 00:11:58 All right, let me go to Skype settings again, but... Oh, that was a good burn, Mishka. Mishishka is crashing you and you're missing that's not hey that's not cool dude i gotta stand up for for james dial it back yeah this is you don't have mishka on it it's like you can't even get me working right this is stupid I mean My microphone is working Wait It's working fine On our end I do this Alright
Starting point is 00:12:28 Here we go With a little podcast Called Issues with Andrew Alright hold on Oh Alright We've got a problem here We've got a
Starting point is 00:12:36 It's on my end Inman we have a problem Oh Inman's finally admitting That he's wrong No he's admitting Shaley's right. Yeah. Default communication. We don't want to use
Starting point is 00:12:51 that default communication device. Should we do a commercial now while you... Alright. I think that's it. That's the test audio on Skype. All right. So do we have Inman?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Nope. No Inman. He's just raised his arms and went, what the fuck? He should just use his... Inman, can you hear us? Is there a mute button? No his... Can you hear us? No, he can't hear us until he gets his speakers, microphone, and...
Starting point is 00:13:32 We're going to have to buy him all that shit. Yeah. Can you see me? Hey, can you see me? He can see you. He can see you. Should we write questions on a tablet and then just hold it up?
Starting point is 00:13:45 Paper? Oh, fucking. Oh, no. If you can't hear me, I can give up the whole Mishkas on the other Skype gag. Actually, maybe this works. This was funny, listeners, that we all had kind of a logy day here. And I go, uh, Inman,
Starting point is 00:14:05 I don't have anything, a new, anything new to fuck with Inman about or how to wind them up. Cause I don't know what his life has been like, but just like Chaley said, we'll fall right into it. And we already have. We're lip reading with Inman.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I don't even, I don't even know if listeners listeners get video yet i don't i have no idea what goes on no everyone's getting video yeah yeah oh is that fixed yeah no and what no not him i'm talking about us uh here let me switch well he's asking he keeps asking can you hear me now no you just need to look it was working before with you calling him on the phone because i got bluetooth into the board call him back call him back. It worked fine. Why he doesn't think it's working just because one component on his end isn't is just beyond me. I'm calling.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I'm calling on your phone. Oh, good. Now we lost. Now I get him on the phone and I lost the video. Okay. I can hear you guys now. Can you hear me? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:41 Do not hang up Skype. That's the video portion. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What if he puts his phone on speaker? That's fine. This is... Try putting your phone on speaker
Starting point is 00:15:53 and sitting in front of the fucking camera. What do you keep going... My microphone is working. Here, let me... Let me try this. Fucking... I think we're going to do a whole podcast. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? My microphone is working. it is. I think we're going to do a whole podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Can you hear me? What the fuck is that? I think he's in a submarine. Alright, hold on. We'll just hold here. No, I... Can you hear me now? You look pretty I... Can you hear me now? You look pretty good. Can you hear me now?
Starting point is 00:16:27 No, I can hear you on the phone. Yes. Yeah, on the phone. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Oh, my God, I don't believe this. Can you hear me now? Yeah, we can still hear you
Starting point is 00:16:43 because we're on the phone together. The phone is synced up with the Bluetooth. But keep Skype on because we have the video. It's working fine on this end. Yeah, so let's just do it like this. We're almost out of time. No, it's going to suck like this. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:16:59 It's just a matter of somehow. Only if you plan on juggling. No. Shaylee, I think your system is too complex. For you? No, I have a simple system.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I know exactly what's going on here. I think you've got nine million things plugged in and that's why it's not working. Our director is telling us to wrap it up and the PAs are... Hang on. You don't have a director. Alright, I've got your
Starting point is 00:17:31 audio. So fix your mic now. My mic is working and you can test it in Skype settings. I don't... Alright, great. Let's start the interview. All right, we're
Starting point is 00:17:47 going to start... Okay. We're just going to cut all that stuff out. Yeah, on a mobile phone. Just because you can't get the audio running. Yeah, I hear a lot of echo. Are you in a basketball court? Are you in a gymnasium? There's a lot of echo.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I can't... Check your settings. Because I have to start... court? Are you in a gymnasium? It's a lot of echo. I turned it back because my stereo audio is working, my microphone is working, my video is working, and my phone is working. That's a pretty big speaker in the background. Did you buy that? Did you buy that speaker from a guy
Starting point is 00:18:20 in a van? Did that fall off a truck? Somehow a guy... Are that fall off a truck? Somehow, a guy... Are you listening, Jamie? I'm listening. I can hear everything, James. It's so complicated on this end that I can hear everything you're doing. I can hear Doug, I can hear Tracy, I can see you. Well, somehow you don't have your microphones working with your Skype. Can you hear me? No, not your Skype. Can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:18:46 No, not from Skype. You can answer the question, but you can't hear me. You just assumed I asked you a question. Well, what specifically are you asking? Are you asking, can I hear you from Skype? No. Can I hear you from the mobile phone? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Is that giant speaker a rent to own? I built those speakers. They bots and acoustics oh you built them you mean you you read the directions when you bought them from a guy in a van you're starting off lame we're trying to make fun of me about lame shit no because i'm looking at a speaker where I should see your face. See, that was my point. Oh. Oh, that was. So you're wrong twice. I have to.
Starting point is 00:19:29 No, I have to figure out your fucking innuendo or some kind of complicated cryptography. Yeah, you don't leave. No, anything is not right. I can't believe Shaley can't get his goddamn microphone working for Skype. You can go into settings and see if your microphone is working. Mishka is still working fine, and Mishka keeps rolling his eyes like he's going to hang up on this podcast. I don't blame him. I mean, I wouldn't blame him.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Okay, so, Shaley, go into your Skype settings and see what it looks like. What is your microphone doing? Well, the levels are bouncing. The speaker and the microphone levels are bouncing. They're all going through our road uh pro uh procaster board uh everything's working like it's worked the other couple times we've done it uh we've also have you done it with other people yeah with skype oh you have yeah and they can hear you uh well yeah we've we've uh does this twice a week with issues with andy yeah and he says every week for the first several,
Starting point is 00:20:27 Andy was as much of a fuck-up as you. Well, that was only for 15 minutes. This is surpassed. You're dumber than Andy. When we do our review of potential guests on Issues with Andy, this always comes up. How can we make sure that we don't have anyone to
Starting point is 00:20:48 figure out with Andy's issues? And if Andy's issues are the star of the show, then we can't have anyone... I got a million things to talk about. Yeah, we can talk about how you guys fucking started making fun of...
Starting point is 00:21:05 Go, go, Go, go. Actually, I'd rather you fucking learn how to make your shit work. Why don't you tell Doug to get out of the room so he can think straight, and you and I can both get this done. Because all that has to happen is we just got to hear, I just got to hear your audio from Skype. Did a cat attack your sweatshirt? Because there's a lot of holes in that
Starting point is 00:21:25 sorry i was talking to your belly and not your face but yeah it's hard to do three things at once so my yeti microphone is working um my i don't know why why is there who's what who's open mic website do you fucking run that You don't know how to do this by now. He pulled the phone down, put the phone in speaker. No, put it in speaker. Then you can just lay the phone down.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah. All right. Perfect. Okay. So, um, I got my, I'm going into setting and and my settings say that...
Starting point is 00:22:05 I can't hear you very well. My microphone's working. All my audio's working, so let's try again. Yeah, get your speakerphone on your phone. I think he just hung up on us. He hung up on the phone part, but we still get the video. He sits there when he has no audio, but then he stands up when he's talking on the phone.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So that was James Inman. That was a nice conversation. I didn't want to do a long podcast today. Let me tell you about my day, Chaley. Do you want to keep him on as long as yeah no i'm where's the camera oh yeah yes that's you i'm giving them the one second we're working this out so yeah there's a there was some scuttlebutt on hazard when i was walking the dog this morning there's three cops down three houses you know where a neighbor dave used to live yeah
Starting point is 00:23:02 three houses down there's three cop, and they're talking to the... Hang on, James. We'll be with you. And they were in there, and then I get done walking the dog, and Bingo and I took a drive like we did with Olivia Grace, like in separate cars on speakerphone, and drove around seeing all the fucking desolation. And then we came back through and the cops were
Starting point is 00:23:26 like a couple houses up like asking questions at different doors like they were house to house and then a helicopter this time i saw the fucking thing uh was circling over the ballpark like they're looking for someone like two blocks from here yeah yeah they're fucking tracking people down like a manhunt thing seems like it that's why i hate that officer bob friendly is now a senator or whatever we call him yeah i can't i can't find out any news can't get the local police beat i'm allowed police beat i've eschewed it but hang on j James. And then my housekeeper, she washed down all the nicotine off of these fucking beautiful green walls. Can you see the difference?
Starting point is 00:24:12 And then she goes, and what was next? The bathrooms in the main house? And I go, yeah. And I go, oh, I get a diarrhea. So I should do that now while she's in the fun house. You said that out loud?
Starting point is 00:24:24 No, I thought that. And then I went and I diarrhea-ed. And within minutes, she came in. Okay, what? And I fucking, you know, the toilet has the two buttons, one for pee, one for poop. I hit both. It's a water efficient.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Yeah, I hit both. And then she walked in. Oh, is this this bathroom? And then she goes, oh, who didn't flush? All right. Like, that would be funny if it was you or tracy but this is a fucking kid 22 year old kid that's happy and i like oh i didn't say anything i wasn't drinking yet oh like it was someone else you're in there it's you i act like i didn't hear her even though she's five feet away from me, as I'm trying to read a book. I sat down to read a book.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Diarrhea will do that, too. Yeah. I let her while she was, and then I go, just do the other bathroom. Do you think he's going to call back on the phone? He can't. He's not doing anything to troubleshoot this. You understand? No. You guys. Oh, wait troubleshoot this. You understand? No.
Starting point is 00:25:25 You guys... Oh, wait. Oh, he's... Maybe he can hear us. Can you hear us, James? He's not responding to any time you say... Nod if you can hear us.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Nod up and down with your head. He said I can hear you. Well, he's not nodding up and down with his head. We need a lip reader. You can't follow simple fucking direction so simple fucking mishka already hung up i would never get him back he's booked solid
Starting point is 00:25:52 he's got the patreon yeah that's it i was gonna ask uh mishka about hey how do you talk to a 22 year old because when she's done with her fucking house cleaning then she starts chatting and i go i have nothing to say. And that's why I've been drinking earlier and earlier. Nickelback. Hey, for the record, Nickelback. Yeah. I guess I drunk dialed Nickelback last night.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And today he's like, so am I on the drunk dial list now? I'm honored. Speed dial. Yeah. Yeah. Short list. I forget what. Speed dial, yeah. Yeah. Short list. I forget what my Nickelback point was.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Well, you called him yesterday again, but he didn't answer. I think the point is when Nickelback is on, we can't have Inman fuck-ups. We could be talking to Mike Nickelback right now. Or Nickelback Mike. That's what you call him. That's how it's in my phone yeah uh yeah i knew fucking inman was gonna ruin this he fucked up the entire that unbookables thing that they were supposed to do in the at the comedy store yeah i know and they all say it happened they all know it didn't happen. Why, James Inman?
Starting point is 00:27:05 You know, when the corporate lawyers get involved, like Erickson goes, Shaylee, something's going on. And like the corporate lawyers are like, we can't do this. Because look, we don't like giving refunds. And we know what's going to happen. It's going to be a problem.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And I go, listen, I was the first one to say, be careful who you get in bed with on this one, Erickson. Because if this goes down like it's probably to, you're not going to look good. Everyone's getting stink on them. All right. James Inman is chugging drinks, and I'm worried for his health. I'm going to call him on my phone. Do we even know that he can hear us?
Starting point is 00:27:38 That's why I'm going to ask him. So everything's working but his microphone, but he swears that his microphone works i can hear you yes so if you can hear us why is it not your fault all right hold on the fucking echo okay look look i can hear you everything's working fine on my end now you could hear me before right right? Let me check my microphone. No, we could never hear you via Skype. Sorry. Don't start talking.
Starting point is 00:28:11 You're talking about the unbookables. You're trying to make fun of me, and it's like, yeah, if you want to start that shit, then make sure it's equal so we can all talk. You're making up shit. Then make your shit work. My shit is working my microphone is working then get fucking then get mishka get mishka because we had mishka so you tried mishka
Starting point is 00:28:35 and if that doesn't work that means all right that's a good troubleshoot all right what's mishka's uh name i don't i mean what mean, what's his... He just fucking hung up. He just hung up the Skype. But now, are you still on the phone? You hung up the Skype. Jesus. Oh, God. What's his caller saying?
Starting point is 00:28:55 What's his call? Fucking Mishka. I don't know. You're friends. You two are friends. I'm not friends with him. You're the one that said you were talking to him. Well, I don't run this production.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And if you're calling him, we can't call him at the same time. As far as I know. So why don't we do V8 where we can all four do it? I mean, I mean, Shelly, don't you do this with issues with Andy? Very successfully. Yes. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:22 So let's. And one of the issues with Andy is he doesn't know how to do this, but he can still make it work. This is an issue... I'm not. It's not my job to make it work. I've got my fucking shit working. Yeah, you have your phone working.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I've got my microphone working. I've got my fucking audio working. I've got my video working. You guys are just fucking with me. No, we're not fucking with you james i don't want to be here i have to do this every goddamn day and uh he just made more work i was just i was afraid that you were just going to start abusing me like you that's why i had to get a new phone because all you're do is tell me how other people... No, I rarely called you.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I rarely have ever called you. I can't fucking... Hey, Skype! Who uses Skype? Nobody uses Skype, Shaley. We could use fucking Google. Google? What's that?
Starting point is 00:30:21 Is that like Ask Jesus? Hey, James, what about the security issues with Zoom that were reported last week? Can you hear me now? Yeah. Yeah, we're talking. Okay, you can hear me now. Yeah, we're responding to you. That's one of the tells.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Oh, he just hung up. He has no fucking idea what's going on. Yeah, you hung up the phone. We only hear you on the phone. Why do you keep leaving? He keeps sabotaging this. James, call me back on the phone. Call him.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Just call me. I don't know. Why are you standing up? This is... Would you do this if you were on Conan? Would you just stand up where only your fucking gut is in the camera? There's no professionalism. Call me.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Can you hear me? Give me a call. Doug, when he gets on the phone, explain to him that the audio is coming through the phone fine. The video through Skype. I think he's watching porn. I think, yeah. I can see the reflection in his eyes. Something else up there.
Starting point is 00:31:32 God damn it. I'm going to have to piss again. I fucking walked out in those gnats. I've been hydrating. God damn it. I don't have to piss again. The big bottles. I keep trying to dodge Henry.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And she's not even under my feet anymore it's like when you sleep for yeah the cats in your fucking crook of your knee and you sleep like that like i can't roll over because i'm gonna crush the cat and then you wake up and realize that cat hasn't been here for fucking hours i got spina bifida and scoliosis and that fucking cat's gone. Like an S curve trying to sleep. I really wanted to talk to Inman. You know, there's so much going on in that guy's life. He's so interesting that I just, I think that if we had a chance to like put it out there,
Starting point is 00:32:17 I think people would understand. And I don't understand what's going on here because. Well, let's, he's because I can see him tapping away there trying to fix his fucking problems so why don't we read some ad copy hey James can you hear us nod up and down if you can hear us
Starting point is 00:32:36 nope now he's now he's hung up again and every time he does that I have to go back and I have to edit that because his fucking phone number is on there. Oh, no, that's all right. It's on his website. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Well, actually, that was if his website even works. All right, hold on. I got to answer again. Here we go again, everyone. He hangs up Skype and then calls back and then puts his hands up in the air like, what are we doing wrong? Yeah, he just did it. Oh, now he can hear us. He couldn't hear us.
Starting point is 00:33:08 He can't. Oh, he's screaming. This is the issues with Andy thing. I think week three is that Andy kept assuming that everything was set up right, but he needed just to reboot his computer with everything plugged in. Did you try unplugging it? Is your computer powered on, James?
Starting point is 00:33:27 Turn on your computer. Let's check in with James one more time. Maybe we could... Oh, it's dialing. I'm dialing. I called you. None of his shit works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:53 James, do you have anyone? You're in Kansas City, right? Yes, I'm in Kansas City. Okay, do you know anyone there? Because we want to reschedule this. Do you know anyone there that can work Skype or computers and stuff? Open mic. There's probably some.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Look, you're just fucking with me. Okay, just like Shaylee and Brent won't put me on issues with Andy. I just wanted to do it one time because I thought it was funny. I'm tired of you guys fucking with me. I can't believe I got my shit working. All we have to do is get Shaylee on the phone. He's got internet.
Starting point is 00:34:34 But you keep hanging up the phone. You keep hanging up the phone. Give the phone to Shaylee or tell Shaylee to pick up the phone when I call her. I'm on the line. You can hear him, right? Okay, so when you say on the line you're calling me you're doing skype from a mobile phone no no no okay so even i understand no speaker okay all right all right so when call me, you're calling my mobile phone.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yes, yes. I have the internet. I'm plugged into the internet. Are you guys plugged into the internet? Yes, you are. You're using Skype. Oh, it's rhetorical. So, you should...
Starting point is 00:35:18 I don't understand how you can't have Skype video and Skype audio working. Yeah, it's weird. Why would you need to call me on a mobile phone? That's why we had Mishka on. Because your microphone is not working. I've got my microphone working. I've got two microphones. Oh, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I've got them both working. When I go into settings for Skype, I can test my microphone. My microphone is working. James, do you have two microphones on stage? No, you have one. One cancels the other one out. Yeah, it's probably... All right, hold on.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Is this your first time ever talking to another human being? Yeah, you know what? I'm actually... I'm going to go... All right, good. Go to pit. Go pit what i'm actually i'm gonna go all right good go to pit go pit i'm just gonna go straight to this is gonna be all uh inman no okay so shaley now that he's up out of the room okay we're both on the internet we both have skype right the audio and the video both go through the internet tube. Correct? Yes, that's very technical.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Okay. All right. Simplify. Yes. So, I've got my microphone working. I can test out my microphone right now. Do you want me to test out my microphone? Sure.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I'll test it. Okay. I'm going to test. What the fuck? Fuck. My microphone says in Skype it's working. What's the name of the microphone that you can select there? It's a Yeti microphone.
Starting point is 00:37:00 It's like one of those. What if you click down and what are your other options under microphone? Turn on your lights. Real tech, okay, real tech digital input, real tech high definition audio, stereo mix, real tech definition audio, microphone and soft virtual sound device. Computer. Is this a desktop computer? Hold on. Is this a desktop? This is a PC.
Starting point is 00:37:27 This is not a laptop. Try the Realtek. Okay, I'm trying Realtek right now. Microphone is not picking up any sound. I got that as a goddamn... God, it's nothing but... I'm going to go back here.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I'm going to turn on my Yeti microphone. No, no. That's not... A lot of people were looking forward to this podcast. Okay. Don't use that. I would say... Get out of line, are you?
Starting point is 00:37:55 I would say not use the Yeti because that's the only thing you've been plugged into. I would say, with my experience with Issues with Andy, is you would test some of the other microphones. Okay. I'm going to test another microphone. I'm going to test. Can you see me, James? Can you hear that?
Starting point is 00:38:10 Can you see me, James? Yes, I can see you. How about that microphone? How can we see you? How about that microphone? Can you hear that microphone? Shush, shush. Why is it so dark in there?
Starting point is 00:38:22 You can see me? I can't see you. People, they want to see you james what is it are you on dial up is that what it is okay what's that all right so i've tried different microphones um tried to i'll go in yeah i'm going i can go into windows uh settings or skype settings and change my microphone device you want to go on aol instant messenger james i was looking forward to this okay well i've got to have my... To hear your Realtek digital output recording microphone,
Starting point is 00:39:10 the Ansoff virtual sound device, no fucking... Listen, we're not going to go sit through a whole... How many is this? How's that? I'm not a fucking Indian call center. I'm an entertainer. I'm not going to help you with your fucking troubles because you have
Starting point is 00:39:24 never fucking learned how to use a computer. I'm an entertainer. I'm not going to help you with your fucking troubles because you have never fucking learned how to use a computer. I don't have troubles. Shaley doesn't have his ship running. I fucking got it working on my end. Shaley is not got it working. You've got to have lights on in your house, James. Pay the bill.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Dude, I think you guys are both doing this just to fuck with me, honestly. Well, that'd be a long way to go just to fuck with you, is to just fucking waste an entire podcast, because you can't even turn your watch on. Well, if this was so important, then Shaylee should have just got a hold of me earlier and said, let's test this out to see if everything's working.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Two days, you couldn't even figure out how to add us on Skype. Yeah, that's true. Who uses Skype? Everybody uses Zoom. No. No. Have you seen? All right, so.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Have you looked at the news? I have no idea. I haven't looked at the news. I haven't looked at the news, and I know Zoom is a fucking trouble spot. I know that's the fucking dangerous virus. I think you guys are just fucking with me. Yeah, well, that's what you always say. All right, hold on. Well, I mean, if you're not fucking with me,
Starting point is 00:40:32 then me and Shaylee can figure this out and we can do this. How hard can this be? It can't be that hard. Why can't you turn on a light? I'm not stupid, Shaylee. I run 15 websites. Name them. Okay? I wouldn't have said...aley. I've won 15 websites. Name them.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Okay? I've won the San Francisco. No, no, no. Listen. Listen to me. Shaley, I've won the San Francisco comedy competition. Because I cheated. I cheated.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I was a judge. I made you win. Right. So quit talking to me like I'm stupid. No, you're doing fine on your own. Turn on a light. Turn on the lights, Iman. The lights are on.
Starting point is 00:41:11 I don't fucking believe this. Turn the lights on. James, we're not fucking with you. This is you this time. What does it mean? Does it matter so much? Then why don't you just let me and Shaylee fix it? James, we're not fucking with you. This is you this time. What does it mean? Does it matter so much? Then why don't you just let me and Shaylee fix it?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Because obviously, we're both smart. We both run websites. We should be able to fix Skype. We got a microphone. We got the internet. All right. You're almost at an hour. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Okay. I'm checking everything on my end. It all works. Now, check your end. All right. Okay. All right. I everything on my end. It all works. Now check your end. Okay, all right. I'll check my end. We're going through your internet history here. Can you hear me now? Yeah, on the phone. hear me now yeah on the phone all right hold on
Starting point is 00:42:08 i don't believe this he says the lights are on six watt fucking all right hold on god it's just you know well i'll figure out the lights. All right. Okay. All right. So, Sherry, you're using the mobile phone and you've got that plugged in. There you go. We're looping. There's something. I just hung up the phone.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Maybe his lights will come back on. Yeah. They draw from the same 9-volt. Test the 9-volt on your tongue and let's see if you've got power. Alright, well, James can't turn on the lights or the Skype now.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Do you think that it's light where you are? I don't know if he can hear us. I love that he's sitting in a lit room. Yeah. The fucking witches of Eastwick. Not witches of Eastwick. What's that fucking the... Blair Witch.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Blair Witch Project had better lighting. Oh. I love you, James. If you can hear me. We're going to have to wrap this up and reschedule for 2021 because we're booked out. We've got Todd Glass, Nickelback, Brendan Walsh, Morgan Murphy.
Starting point is 00:43:34 If we can slide him in, I'd sure like to work this out, but I think maybe if he could, you know, maybe contact one of the kids in the neighborhood. We'll probably have to wait until the virus is over and just get him, you know, live. Somewhere. We'll probably have to wait until the virus is over and just get them live.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Somewhere. We're overdue to play Kansas City anyway. We can... Oh, Barleycorns. Yeah. Yeah. That was nice. Wait, Barleycorns.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Was that Wichita? No, that's right. He had to drive to Barleycorns. Shaley, is your finger on? He had to... Oh, call my phone. That's my old phone number. Call my new phone.
Starting point is 00:44:04 That's my old phone number. Ding dong new phone. That's my old phone number. Ding dong. Oh, shit. He doesn't have that number. And I'm on a podcast. My phone is off. Yeah, you don't have your phone on during a podcast. Oh, we can see him again now.
Starting point is 00:44:19 He's shoving the camera right in our face. But, I mean, his cell phone. Look, we can see him again. But see, if he calls me. Someone turned on the light. If he calls me, it's not through the board. We don't get the audio. I don't think he understands what's going on.
Starting point is 00:44:33 So he should just call my phone? Oh. Hold on. I got to go guess. I'm pulling him full screen. He's full screen right now. All right. I got to call him.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I don't know why he keeps hanging up the phone when he knows that's the only audio that works. Shaley, what's your number? Yeah, he doesn't have his phone on. James, it's a podcast. He's a professional. Challenge him to turn his phone on. I have a number for him. I called. James it's a podcast he's a professional why don't I have a number for him I called
Starting point is 00:45:08 why would he turn his phone on because that's going to fuck you're fucking with me you're fucking with me if you don't want Shaley's phone on no it's a podcast he already set mine up with this whole podcast is you fucking with me
Starting point is 00:45:23 something is with Bluetooth. Yeah, this whole podcast is you fucking with me. Something is backing up. I think the power key is being electrocuted. You should turn that off. Look, I don't... I'm not speaking back. What's screeching? I think it's your speaker.
Starting point is 00:45:43 No, it's not. It's your speaker. It's your speaker. It's not my speaker. I got my's your speaker. No, it's not. It's your speaker. It's your speaker. It's not my speaker. I got my stereo turned off. I got my volume down. It's not mine. The speaker behind you that goes...
Starting point is 00:45:56 Your subwoofer there that you... Hey, look. Are you listening? Shaylee, you can't be telling me that you're running the fucking audio out of a goddamn mobile phone. How can you not get your audio working on the goddamn internet? You're fucking retarded.
Starting point is 00:46:14 And you won't give me your phone number so both of you are fucking with me. What's your number look like? I'm not stupid. I'm not stupid. James, I would never call you stupid. What does he fucking say? All right, well, give me Shaley's phone number.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I'll write it down right now. Well, I'll give you his old phone number, but that's in his luggage. We've got to fix this, you dumb fuck. All right, forget it. All right, language yeah all right he's he dropped the c-bomb i'm done with this yeah i've fucking worked i've worked so hard with james inman trying to fucking prepare him for things like this that i'm done you know what i've given you every opportunity james and, and all you do is bully me.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You fucking bully me, and you can't even sit in his goddamn chair during an interview. It's weird, right? Yeah, I don't get up and run around. I love that he thought the lights were on and was pitch black in his room. I know it's good.
Starting point is 00:47:21 He keeps claiming to call my phone. My phone's right here. It hasn't rung. It's on silent, but it hasn't rung the whole time. And you told him that I'm not going to answer it, even if he did have my number. I don't know why he doesn't... Like, just get a guide how to just use simple fucking technology.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Yeah, like Skype for super dummies yeah something simple like uh express vpn you know that that would help it couldn't hurt yeah all right well uh hey listen we tried to give you the best of james inman but what you got was james in, the reality behind the Inman. Yeah, this was a little sad. This was like behind the music. I'm going to have to crank up the old phone and call him. It's a rotary dial.
Starting point is 00:48:17 That's the number he has. Well, I mean. I enjoyed spending time with you, Chaley, and watching you persevere against all odds you did the best you can to I mean if I didn't have the past experience of the
Starting point is 00:48:36 other podcasts that we've been doing behind me like now he's gone more recently yeah that's fine but yeah you you know it it's it's a it's a it's a fickle mistress sometimes the internet there's ways to work around it but i i i totally recognize what is going on on his end and he just needs to take a breath and realize that that it's all he wants to do is blame me for ruining the internet.
Starting point is 00:49:06 And I might be part of it, but I'm not the whole reason. I'm calling him one more time to just say thanks for trying because he's not good at this stuff. And we knew that two days ago. Well, that's why he's never on issues. I'll tell you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for giving it a shot. And, you know, you get. I didn't use the C word. You're fucking with me. Why were you guys fucking with me? We have sponsors, James. We can't be doing shit like that.
Starting point is 00:49:37 You're fucking with me again. No, no. Can't we just do a fucking podcast? We wrapped up the podcast, James. We're calling you to say... Okay, well, you're telling me that Shaley and I cannot figure out how to do this? Well, you couldn't for almost an hour. I can.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I'm not. You're just fucking with me because I've done 15 websites. I can fix shit. I build my own computer. You can't make fun of me, say I don't know how to run Skype you're doing this just to fuck with me listen you said no one uses Skype so you've never used it before

And we have other guests and we have to do it these daily. So, yeah, I can't just like we don't have a podcast.

You're booked up until January? Yes. You're booked up till January. Yes. You're just fucking with me. No, we do once a week.
Starting point is 00:52:10 It's going back to once a week. Everyone's available right now, James. That's the thing is the calendar fills up quick. Shaylee, you're just fucking with me. Just like you're fucking with me that you won't put me on issues with Andy. Just like you're fucking with me that you won't put me on issues with Andy. Just like you were fucking with me when I got the comedy.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I got that comedy store gig, by the way. That thing was really good to go on. How'd that go? It didn't work because of the coronavirus. Because of you. Oh, really? Yeah, you're out of your fucking mind. I got that.
Starting point is 00:52:42 How many dates did that change? I made one. How many dates? I made one, Funk. That was booked for before coronavirus. I did a show after the show. Are you jealous of me, Doug? No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Are you jealous that I'm doing the comedy store? Why would you fuck up? Why would you fucking make fun of my show on your podcast? Why would you even do that? It's not funny. I never did. That show was going to go on. That was a real show.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Maybe if you would have paid for advertising with us, we could have promoted it. Are you lying? I get the joke. You like fucking with me. You think it's funny. But that was a real show. There's nothing funny about unprofessional podcasting,
Starting point is 00:53:28 and that's what I'm watching right here. Okay. All right. All right. I find it unprofessional, Shaley, that you didn't call me ahead of time just to make sure everything is working. Are we still on video if we were still podcasting?
Starting point is 00:53:41 Yeah. We could be, but he keeps hanging up the Skype. Oh, my God. Why should I hang up a mobile phone were still podcasting yeah we could be but he keeps hanging up the skype oh my god why should i hang up a mobile phone when you've got the internet the internet skype works on the internet the audio and video both go through the internet there should be no fucking reason why i'm on a mobile phone talking to you on skype well it's it's just a rarity that you on a mobile phone talking to you on Skype. Well, it's just a rarity that you have a mobile phone that we could fix the problems
Starting point is 00:54:09 you can't fix with the internet. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's the joke that you do all the time. It's your ongoing, endless joke. It doesn't seem funny to me. Yeah, it's getting old. Okay, so now, Shaley, you can't even fix your shit in your... There's nothing shooting back in my house.
Starting point is 00:54:35 I've got my stereo turned off. Yeah, you hear that looping, Doug? Yeah, I hear it. That's the mic. There's something on his end that's picking up the audio. Oh, there's... Yeah. How many dogs do you have?
Starting point is 00:54:46 That one has a tail. You have a goat. Okay. Hey, James, maybe we should talk when you're sober. I'm sober. I'm not drunk. I saw you chug an entire drink at the... I drank one beer.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I drank one beer. You drink vodka every day. I think it was a lot... you're just trying to fuck with me I haven't drank in over what's it's almost 8 months we're 12 we're 12
Starting point is 00:55:11 yeah right I think what was alarming was how fast you drank those beers yeah alright how about this why don't you just alright are we gonna do a podcast or not
Starting point is 00:55:20 because I was I was supposed to I lost money on my fucking plane ticket and those gigs I had out in California I was gonna meet you in I lost money on my fucking plane ticket and those gigs I had out in California. I was going to meet you in San Francisco and do a podcast in person.
Starting point is 00:55:29 We were supposed to do that. And you blew me off. You blew me off. That was my... I didn't blow you off. What are you talking about? You blew me off. But this is my coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:55:40 I did not blow you off. If I had my loser phone, I'd turn it on and I'd read exactly what you wrote to me. I can't make it. I'm scared of the virus, whatever. I'm sorry. That's why we didn't. Did you do the San Francisco show?
Starting point is 00:55:58 No, but I was there. I showed up because you were going to show up. That's why I showed up. I have text messages to prove it. You did not show up. I was there. I sat in a hotel room. John, we've got to hold on. The audio on his end is so bad.
Starting point is 00:56:16 We've got to hold on a second. Turn off the lights. I think the lights are giving us feedback. Are you wearing shoes? How is it that Shaley and I can't figure this out? Well, one of us did. Shaley figured it out. You can't.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I can't believe that Andy takes better instruction than James Inman. I know. Why is it that James Inman... Did you know I ran Andy's website for, I don't know, 10 years, probably? I built Andy's website and I don't know 10 years probably I built Andy's website and I ran it for him don't tell me I can't run Skype yeah you're fucking
Starting point is 00:56:54 with me Sherry and you think it's funny it's not funny I have fucking made a commitment for this whole 30 day news blackout and now I don't have a fucking podcast for tomorrow. Get your shit
Starting point is 00:57:10 together, James. I love you, but Okay, well let me just talk to Shaley. Shaley, pick up the phone. Shaley just walked out. I've been on the line the entire podcast, James. There's no reason for me to pick up the phone. Your shit isn't working. Everything's speaking back. Well

Starting point is 01:02:17 Oh, that's a good one. You got to clean that lug on this side. I know we can't see it. That's a great one. Oops, I think I went down the wrong stripe on the playback. Do we do the inman again? Because I want to find out what happened with him fucking up the whole bookables thing.
Starting point is 01:02:40 We had a lot of questions. Can we do audio with him? Just audio? No, if he can charge his fucking cell phone,. Can we do audio with him? Just audio? No, if he can charge his fucking cell phone, we could just do audio. I don't know how, like, you're not going to fucking be able to teach him how to do this. I try to troubleshoot the way I used to with Andy.
Starting point is 01:02:59 And really, Andy would at least listen. You know what I mean? And that's the troubling thing, is that if I could just get the guy to stop for a second, take a breath. Yeah, fucking Andy doesn't like sit there and say cunt and fucking flip you off
Starting point is 01:03:12 when we're doing fucking ad copy. By the way, my phone has, I've got two text messages from our ad sponsors talking about the commercial for tomorrow. I'm a little nervous. Yeah. You know, with the C word and stuff.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Can't play around with that. I mean. He's done this long enough. He's going to know better. Come on, Doug. Yeah. How many breaks? How many breaks?
Starting point is 01:03:38 I love that guy. I fucking love him. It's too bad, man. That's. That's so many questions. Like a bunch of, like, because I was really, I was really rooting for him to get onto issues with Andy because it would be, it would be fun. You know, we could really make it into something.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And then if there was like a, if there was a time off. He's starting to feel bad. He's up there. Like when Chad has to not be there or if I'm not there because I'm on the road, we could have him be, you know, like Stern called it the Jackie chair, right? Yeah. We could have Inman be in there.
Starting point is 01:04:11 But, you know, this kind of stuff is weird. You don't know what to do. It's more of his emotions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't know what emotional, especially watching him drink like that. Come on. That was, it's just fucking cranking it down.
Starting point is 01:04:32 I don't know. But, it's, so where do we go from here? Well, let's get back to the party. Yeah. I heard that's get our fuck on.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Good night. Okay. Bye-bye now. Hello? Hey, there you are. I hear, I can hear what you guys are saying. You're just making fun of me. You're doing stupid shit.
Starting point is 01:05:25 I can't see you. He shut my monitor down, so I'm just... I thought we were off. Yeah. No, I'm calling him. He's acting like he said he can hear us. Has my phone been on?
Starting point is 01:05:39 I can't figure this out. Has my phone been on? I can hear you. I can hear you. You're just fucking with me. You're just fucking with me. this out. Has my phone been on? I can hear you. I can hear you. You're just fucking with me. It's unbelievable that Shaley and I cannot somehow fix this.
Starting point is 01:05:54 The only reason you're doing this is just to fuck with me, okay? I get the joke. The joke has gone on too long, okay? I almost had the unbookables at the comedy store. You should be proud of me for that. But instead, you just make fun of me. Alright? Actually,
Starting point is 01:06:10 fucking Johnny Depp is nicer than you. You're a dick. I should call Johnny Depp and be his friend. What? What? Why would you? I don't even know He was nice to me on the phone when I talked to him. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:06:26 I drunk dialed you from the island. Yeah, unlike you. Wait, I drunk dialed you? Unlike me? Yeah, I called you. Did you hear what you just said? I drunk dialed you with Johnny Depp, and you said, unlike me.
Starting point is 01:06:40 I was texting you. Like, I was texting you about the Comedy Store show. I'm like, God, I think I can get a Comedy Store show thing going. And so you called me and then you put Johnny Depp on the phone. And he was nice. He was like, tell me when the show is. Tell me how much time I have to do and how much do I get paid. He wanted to be there.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Do you understand that Johnny Depp is a... Yeah, I know he's not yeah he was at least being nice james you have to listen to me you know i don't i rather you lie to me like johnny death lies and he makes me feel better you you can't lie you can't just make shit up to make me feel better don't you know that's it i'm nice do you listen to my podcast occasionally james james Do you listen to my podcast? Why? Occasionally. James, do you... Just say, like, good job, James. James, do you listen to my podcast?
Starting point is 01:07:29 Do you understand that... I've been on your podcast. Do you listen... I have the most downloaded podcast. Do you... Two of the most downloaded podcasts. I'm fucking starting. I was like a, what, 20th or 30th podcast.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Fucking, I've or 30th podcast. I've known you since 1995. But do you listen when you're not on? Because you would know that Johnny Depp is not Johnny Depp. That's Dave Rader doing Johnny Depp. I was not on Johnny Depp Island. That was Dave Rader. Yeah, he thought that was actually Johnny Depp he was talking to. That's Dave Rader's impression. You don't even listen to my podcast. Yeah, he thought that was actually Johnny Depp he was talking to. That's Dave Rader's impression.
Starting point is 01:08:06 You don't even listen to my podcast. Yes, I do. I mean, on Patreon, you fucking talk about it. If you got a dollar a month, you can go on Doug's Patreon and you can listen to your fucking secret podcast. I got access to all your secret shit, Doug.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Do you know that Johnny Depp that you talked to was Dave Rader and we were all laughing because we knew you'd buy it? I don't fucking talk to Johnny Depp. I've met him like three times. Why would you waste his time?
Starting point is 01:08:34 That's rude. This is not funny. You're right. How come... I thought you were in on the joke. Everyone else was. Can we talk about something else? How come I can't be on Issues with Andy?
Starting point is 01:08:50 I just want to be on that one time as a guest. All right? It'll be funny. I can't even do your podcast. You know why? Because you can't figure out Skype. I made one phone call and booked a comedy store show. On Skype?
Starting point is 01:09:05 Don't tell me I can't fix Skype. You guys are fucking with me. Just like when I started messaging on YouTube when you guys did that live show. Yeah, Brett acted like he wasn't, he didn't, he wasn't reading my messages. What's YouTube? They did a live YouTube show, Issues of Andy.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I just thought it'd be funny if I was on there one time. They won't even put me on one time, you know, it's hilarious. Well, probably because you throw out a lot of curse words
Starting point is 01:09:40 and ruin their sponsors and don't know how to use your own. They don't have any sponsors. What are you talking about? Not with language like yours. You're not doing a clean podcast. You guys are fucking with me.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Can he get in the frame? We're going to see. Here's what you're doing. You're fucking with me. Listen, you call me when you have a better attitude, and I'm just gonna kill this. Alright. Good.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Alright. I tried my best to help you. Alright, I guess that's the legit end, depending on how you want to edit it. No, he just sat down in front of Skype after he hung up the phone again. I'm going to pull him
Starting point is 01:10:29 full screen. That'd be funny. I have him full screen over here. I know. Sorry about that. I just want to watch him all night. Just make sure he's okay. Monkey cam? Well, no, because the amount he drank was fucking... What if he
Starting point is 01:10:44 chokes on his own? Brenda's not there. Well, no, because the amount he drank was fucking, like, what if he, like, chokes on his own? Brenda's not there. Well, yeah, hopefully. Brenda might be there. Who knows? Who knows who she's with in the other room? He hangs the phone and then goes into a diatribe. That is the fucking craziest thing.
Starting point is 01:10:58 He leaves the camera to go on a diatribe. That's like, this is my fucking closing rant. I'm going to leave this stage and go back behind the curtains this fucking guy like the idea that he has ever been on stage the same stage twice probably never happened no no we've got plenty of stories about that and you can get those stories at issues with and Andy every Wednesday, or is it Tuesday? Tuesday and Friday on YouTube only. And we're good podcast.
Starting point is 01:11:30 By the way, we are setting up Patreon. We're just kind of slow rolling it right now. But yeah, just the like, just the editor. I want him to get some cash just because we doubled his workload and got paid zero. But yeah, so hopefully we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Hopefully, yeah. Hopefully you keep having consistent luck with that Skype always working. Well, you know, it's a tenuous relationship between us and Skype. It's 40 episodes. It's worked pretty good, and we've always troubleshooted.
Starting point is 01:12:07 By the way, Brett and Chad, who neither of them have worked in the tech industry, have both gotten pretty good at slow talking someone through to get to the other end to where things are working.
Starting point is 01:12:21 And that's it. We've all advanced because of this podcast. And 40 in there's not the only problem is and you know what andy did this was on the last issues uh he he ended up uh taping down his microphone which has become the thing like when he knocks the microphone down then that's like it's time to end the podcast and i'm like is that fucking fluorescent orange gaff tape he's like oh yeah i go that's my fucking gaff tape yeah i thought i thought that would be cool too if like he fucking andy's so good you know even as a fuck up andy like he still can like pull through and doug this is the medium for
Starting point is 01:13:06 him for three people making fun of him it's you know what it is it's like i've always said andy is the funniest guy on the way to the gig and on the way home from the gig and it's like that's what it is we're in a four-seater car driving to the gig and from the gig at issues with andy and it's him just fucking riffing. I know. Fucking funny. I wish Inman was the opposite. Inman just gets aggressive.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Let's just fucking hang it up. All right. I got to piss for a third time. This is a long podcast that never happened. Fucking Inman ruined it again. Okay.
