Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Doug Stanhope podcast. Hello. We have Glenn Wool. While his child is wearing quarantine. Where's your baby? Where's your dumb baby? He's sleeping in his bed. It's 10 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:00:28 You mad, man? Wait, I thought you were in Vancouver. No. No, I'm in the Essex countryside. Wait, you're back in London? Well, no. I'm in the countryside. But that's the UK, right? Essex? I thought you moved back to Canada. I'm in the countryside. But that's UK, right? Essex?
Starting point is 00:00:45 I thought you moved back to Canada. I did. I did. But we had to move back to England really quickly. Sadly, my wife's sister passed away. Oh, great. Thanks. Thanks for opening with that. Well... I'm kidding. i'm kidding i'm kidding sorry oh is she there listening no no okay all right i did not i had to uh i had to move back to the uk on three days notice to beat uh to beat the lockdown oh shit yeah i had one of those i had to flee san francisco when they
Starting point is 00:01:28 said they were shutting the town down i didn't know if that meant i have to stay here so i fucking got an uber and directly to the fucking airport at midnight everything's shut down fuck Fuck you. Yeah. Yeah, it was weird. It was one of those, like, this isn't a fucking dream. That happened. I'm just popped out into the English countryside. That's very strange. Last I saw you was at Heathrow when Olivia Grace and I were doing we spent a like a 24 hour we got there a day early and just stayed at that airport yotel and we're just cruising all over the every terminal bar
Starting point is 00:02:13 hopping and then we ran into you and your baby and your wife yeah and not just it was month that was actually like august or something yeah yeah it's like six or seven i was supposed to be back in canada for a year so it wasn't it wasn't totally weird that i'd move back like the the plan was always there but just to uh the rushed nature of it but you know you moved all your shit back to canada Is all your shit still in Canada? Yes. Been wearing the same shirt for a while? Yeah, but that's more
Starting point is 00:02:53 locked up than anything. I've got many pairs of underwear here. No need to change them? That's a year's supply. Yeah. I don't know Essex from shit over there.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I mean, if you're locked down... The countryside? I'm thinking American werewolf in London countryside. Almost. Almost. It's called Finchenkill, and it has been voted the best village in England
Starting point is 00:03:37 like three years running. It is so villagey. It's unbelievable. It's very villagey. It's unbelievable. It's very villagey. Yeah. The one thing I do have is a bicycle. So I'm taking long bike rides through the countryside.
Starting point is 00:03:54 It is the quaintest. And it's got this wartime feel to it, too, where everyone's stitching in. I ride my bicycle up and down the hills of Essex.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Very cool. This wouldn't actually be much of a news break from Finchingfield, but are there any cases over there? Like where are you?
Starting point is 00:04:25 I don't know. It's tough to, it's tough. We have had a problem. It's quite a destination for motorcyclists. I know it has been. Like, they just, they like the green or something, but because of the lockdown, they've still got as many numbers as they do, but there still has been congregating bikers.
Starting point is 00:04:52 But not even like bikers like you'd think. Not like anybody but loose. Cyclists, motorcyclists, motorcycle enthusiasts. Yeah, like they're fucking dressed like Power Rangers, but then they take their helmets on and off, and they're like 60 years old. It looks like a pedophile trap. Trying to get a kid to come sit on their lap. They can't.
Starting point is 00:05:21 I mean, they've got super bikes, but you see them wobble out with them. So they're obviously accountants in the day. Just fucking nerds. And they're out of towners dragging the fucking virus in. Can you shoot them like Easy Rider? Yeah. Some breach barrel shotgun? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Farmer fucking, what do you call those? Anyway. Yeah. Fucking, what do you call those? Anyway. Yeah. They seem a bit shocked by me because we're actually, we're living in my wife's father's house. They've moved to France.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And so we were able to get this place. And they ran like an antique shop. And he was constantly arguing with them, just trying to get them to stop parking their fucking motorbikes in front of his antique shop. Who wants to go in and buy an ancient clock with these geeks
Starting point is 00:06:19 staring at each other's hosepipes? The fucking antiques over there are called new releases. Get it here first. Well, yeah. Because you look like a biker, but you're dressed like an accountant. Yeah, so Peter used to just fucking hustle him out of the front of his business
Starting point is 00:06:50 so they got used to him and they're all they're all apparently connected on the internet and when you know they were like oh i really upset the antique shop owner in the way like i mean i'm from a place where bikers would be embarrassed if that was the tough thing that they did you know if you're a fucking sitcom biker at that point we got me and the yeah there's the cake shop lady and the antique shop owner, they're scared of us. Now I'm yelling at them from the window and they're looking up at me like, well, that guy's more of a biker than we are.
Starting point is 00:07:37 What are you drinking? Gin and tonic. It's early here, so we're doing mimosas on an empty stomach. Yeah. I think we're probably similarly drunk. I'd imagine.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I'm a parent. I've been nibbling at drunkness all day long. How old's that child now? Oh, God. Why you gotta test me? I can't remember if it could talk or not
Starting point is 00:08:13 when I saw it at the airport. Nah, nah, it's close to work now. It's, you know, it understands what you say, but he's two and a half now. He'll be three in November. But I don't know what fucking date it is. How long have you been there, roughly?
Starting point is 00:08:36 About a month. A month. It's not bad. It's not bad.'s not bad do you have you made any friends the ladies in the post office are enamored by me they like the accent i did i couldn't believe it I walked in there today to purchase some more gin at the post office
Starting point is 00:09:10 yeah it's one of those it's a villagey village Doug I could buy some guinea fowl some gin I could post a letter it's got everything Some guinea fowl, some gin. I could post a letter. It's got everything.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Everyone I know, I mean, the refrain, if I had a nickel for every person who said, yeah, quarantine, self-isolation, that's what i do it wasn't until i talked to you thinking about being stuck with the fucking ball and chain old lady and a child in a fucking village in the outback of england yeah you you get some serious uh fucking all work and no play makes johnny a dull boy shining shit in your head. Yeah. Yeah. I sometimes wonder if I've just created a reality. I tell you what, and this goes to, it happened just before the lockdown. I had a dream where my son was of the age to leave the house, like he was going to college. And it was so vivid. It was absolutely like, and we made like the little joke that we shared, but I was destroyed inside.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And I remember him like walking up and leaving in the car. And I remember in the dream wishing there was some way that I could just go back to when he was little. And that's when the dream ended. And that's when I heard him playing in the hall as a two-year-old. And I got up and I had such a play with him. Like, I really, absolutely. So I reckon, and what we're going through now is like a Faustian deal of my own perception. And that's why it sucks around the edges like trump's in charge
Starting point is 00:11:28 it's just because i i think in many ways that's what you deserve as a nation uncaused it where's our bell where's our ding bell because that we should have around the first yeah yeah first mention of faust on the 377 podcast episodes. Faustian is the first time it's been spoken. We figured out we're doing a bingo game. Cross off Faust. Put a link to the Wikipedia page for our listeners so they know what Faustian is. I reckon
Starting point is 00:12:06 a lot of them think I've referenced the Canadian singer Feist. Hey, speaking of Canadian singers, I have to drop Nickelback in every podcast now. Do you know I interviewed that guy once? Which one?
Starting point is 00:12:24 Chad? Yes. Yeah, we got Mike. Got his brother. Is he in a Nickelback cover band? No, he's the only one without a direct link personally on the Nickelback Wikipedia page. Every member of the band. Has their own link. But Mike doesn't. But he answers my calls all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:49 He's the bass player. Wicked cool. Well that's what. I was doing a radio interview. In Denver. And the. Producer came in. And talked to the DJ.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Because they were doing a Nickelback giveaway. And one of the things that you won... And they're still waiting for that seventh caller. Yeah. He's dead for Doug. He has many, many callers. But no, because he went, one of the prizes that he won was to be able to talk to Chad
Starting point is 00:13:29 Kroger. He was going to call you and he's, so the producer came in and said, well, there's a guy on the line and he says he's Chad Kroger, but I don't really know. Like, he seems too nice. Well, I'm Canadian.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I can quiz him on Canadian subjects and we'll get to the bottom of whether or not it's him. I asked him all these Canadian questions and he was like, why are they all 10 years old? I haven't lived there for a long time. It'd be funny if Nickelback was calling in to win Nickelback shit. Backstage, we don't even have a green room at that venue
Starting point is 00:14:29 I want to get backstage with me yeah it's like when you do a giveaway online oh everybody answers there's only one DVD to give to one lucky anybody
Starting point is 00:14:43 everyone gets a DVD a whole visit I won 20 tickets to the comedy club free appetizers how many gigs did you have to fucking cancel uh
Starting point is 00:15:03 still we're still working on it did you have to fucking cancel? There's still... Yeah, we're still working on it. But yeah, it was weird because I'd sort of taken a month off right before this happened. You know, you can't predict it. But yeah, all the Canadian ones have gone in
Starting point is 00:15:23 and I've brought two. We're booking up North Korea because I assume they have zero cases since they just won the Stanley Cup I keep forgetting because I keep in my head shuffling to my B plans.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You know, like, if you're in a place and sometimes things are getting dry, you're like, oh, wow, I'll just tell my Asian people and go there for a couple months. Yeah, I doubt it. I was in Wuhan last year. Where? Oh, really? Yeah. Fucking spreader? Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I hope so. I would love it if that's how I got famous. Typhoid wool. Yeah. Do you have your own bartender? No. Oh, see? That's why you're going to run out of that gin and tonic.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I'm going to have to cover for you while you dip off screen. No, we talked about it. Remember, Glenn? We made a Faustian deal to where after – I don't even know what fucking Faustian means. At about 20 minutes, we were going to take a break, step down so he could quietly tiptoe over and get a gin and tonic and not wake the baby. I rode in my freshman rider. I was in the ventilation.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I was not. Have you had a fight with the wife since you've been locked up? Yeah, it's not. No, not really. She's nervous. I mean, her husband's job
Starting point is 00:17:13 is the one, like everybody else, is to say, oh, that'll start again. I need that. There's nothing essential about my stand-up comedy. Start writing biker jokes and antique jokes.
Starting point is 00:17:32 You get a crowd every weekend. I thought of a way to troll them. I was going to put on a concert, like an ACDC cover band concert. I got a lot of time to think though.
Starting point is 00:17:50 But get them all, get them all out there circulating, enjoying it. And then drop like a Nambla banner. Bikers for Nambla. I have a lot of pictures taken because at that point if you the dynamics of an ACDC concert with a little schoolboy running around with a guy in a
Starting point is 00:18:21 flat cap kind of chasing him and beating him up. So maybe we could do a Kickstarter to find this practical joke on the bikers. And I was thinking, too, if you sent, like, the Angus Young lookalike to get pictures on their bikes beforehand. Yeah! Oh, yeah! Fuck you, Angus Young lookalike to get pictures on their bikes beforehand. How many people are in your village?
Starting point is 00:18:57 I'd say maybe 500. It's kind of tough to, you know. Yeah, welcome to the big city of 4,500. Yeah. Well, I went on my bicycle to Thackstead, which is, you know, maybe like 5,000 or whatever, but I encountered like four cars because they've been so secluded about like, oh, I'm in the big smoke now.
Starting point is 00:19:32 There's a bus. Oh, what a perfect time to drink ourselves to death. I know. He'll say it's Corona-related. I'm glad I didn't come into this with, like, some, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:55 if I had quit drinking, like, a month before and actually kept myself to it, my God, like. There would be 497 people alive in this village. Slowly. They wouldn't even know who the killer was. I would just slip out every night.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Start picking off the ladies at the bus stop because I don't know what love means. Oh, you've been talking to Shawcroft? You don't know what love means. That was her refrain. Oh, yeah? Did she remember to put her teeth in?
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yes. She showed me pictures of her. She made me laugh just telling me how she lost them. She fell over and, like, dunked her mouth on someone's truck. She tripped going over a curb and then just like yeah yeah initially lost him i thought you meant her replacement her partials she came to bisbee and we're going to do a show and of course she's late and we're parked in the street outside of her house i'll go get her and uh we go up there she's just getting out of the shower.
Starting point is 00:21:26 We're all in the fucking van for a gig in Bisbee. And I'll be right there. I'll be right there. And then she comes out, a sweating mess, fresh out of the shower. She's already sweating. And she goes, okay, let's go. And I go, you don't have your teeth in. You forget your teeth.
Starting point is 00:21:41 She's lost her partials like four times on airplanes. She takes them out and puts them with the magazines and shit. Oh my God. Yeah, and the seat back. The seat back thing, yeah. Left them in there. Can you imagine what the truck driver felt?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Well, all he would have felt, like, you know, maybe he's pulled over to get a couple of muffins or whatever, and just here's like to look over his shoulder walking dead and started yeah she's walked out with more facial contusions than even Sean Rouse, where she just took headers and just
Starting point is 00:22:29 bruised and missing teeth. Doug, I don't even know if you know this. Brett Erickson told me that Shawcroft, like, last week... For the listeners, Shawcroft was Hedberg's wife. And she's in Hollywood in the area that the Bretchells live.
Starting point is 00:22:47 She contacted him because she went to the comedy store and called him and goes, why is it closed? She had no idea what was happening in the world that would cause the world famous comedy store to be closed
Starting point is 00:23:02 on a Wednesday night. Why was there no traffic? Yeah, she said, I just love that the guy goes out and he sees Shawcroft with no teeth and then he looks down at his bumper and he sees two rows of teeth stuck to his bumper.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Shawcroft, I love. I find her endlessly hilarious and we have uh similar picadillos about people we can gossip for fucking hours uh but she's just such a fuck up yes i love her too. I speak these things out of a place of love to you. Yes, we pick on those we love. Exactly. Especially when complete fucking train wreck fuck-ups. Well, we can't have anybody normal
Starting point is 00:23:59 because we wouldn't have anything to do. They'd just bore us. That's how you know you're fucking nothing. There's nothing to say about them. What's the point of them? Didn't even notice you were in the room.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah. Alright, well, yeah, go get a drink. Tiptoe. He doesn't look fat as I thought he would. You're still on camera. We'll just stay up, bud. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:24:33 He's a big boy. I've never watched the comedians, comedians, comedians. I would say that I don't want to plug that because we did that show and i for me i know it was uh yeah it's a terrible terrible you and uh and uh morgan murphy and brendan walsh so i had two really fat i don't i don't think they were recent fathers back then
Starting point is 00:25:03 but they both got fat like they were i don't know if they have two and a half that was march of 2017 so yeah i don't glenn didn't have a baby then brendan didn't they just got fat in anticipation of a baby maybe they had babies to justify how fat they go oh it, I'm still losing the baby weight. You're the dad. The dad can get baby weight. All the time. But yeah, I have two bearded, fat, white guys
Starting point is 00:25:38 and Morgan Murphy. Yeah, I felt racist and unprepared I did that show that was the show I did that was Austin it was the first show I did including any kind of open mic
Starting point is 00:25:55 I didn't do anything from October when we got done in 2016 through bingo's coma and then my first show was a special I'm being paid way too much money to host it's like that see so especially it was actually i'll wait till uh glenn gets back but i was gonna say it's like that nightmare that like in this covid lockdown that all this you have
Starting point is 00:26:21 a nightmare where like all of a sudden you have a gig tonight and you're completely unprepared. Yeah, it's over. That gig you assumed was cancelled is back on. Fuck, man. No, there's a car on the way to get you. Do you know that a CISO special was the last thing,
Starting point is 00:26:39 the last comedy thing that aired on that streaming service before they finally buckled and fell beneath the waves. I'm used to it. I knew once they'd taken a shine to me, I'd be like, well,
Starting point is 00:26:56 that's just a poor business model. Yeah, I, I, I, fuck, I closed out a lot of shows. I closed out Seeso.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I was the last guy on – fuck. Well, they pulled you from Netflix. You're not on Netflix anymore. Yeah, I'm not on Netflix anymore. And everyone. It's all cyclical anyway. But at this point, you'd think they're throwing anything they used to have i don't know how netflix works i know the new special is coming out in the next couple of weeks
Starting point is 00:27:32 and uh that's that's just us we're just putting it out early we gotta put it on i don't i don't know i don't know i don't know how it works. Ask Hennigan. It's just going out. iTunes or something? Self-produced is what... That's the quick answer, but I also don't know what that means on how it will get to the end user. We had a deal
Starting point is 00:27:57 for streaming, but it wasn't going to go out anytime soon. It's almost a fucking year old. I'm like, yeah, just put it out. People are watching now. I'd rather have them watching. I guess I should call Hannigan and just
Starting point is 00:28:13 get the details. Yeah, you should call Hannigan. He called me today and he told me a bunch of stuff and I was, you know, glaze over. What the fuck? I don't care. I saw it again in LA.
Starting point is 00:28:30 That's not a show crowd. I wrote a bunch of jokes for them. For Julie's roast. Roast. Yeah, February. All right, so that's pretty recent. Yeah, yeah. That was the last.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah, I kind of got back to Vancouver and then just had to fuck off. It was weird. I don't remember enough. Like, Julie, like, if she's in the room, I can roast her. I can roast what she just said, but I don't know enough details about her life that I could. But I think it was Olivia Grace was supposed to do it. And she was out here
Starting point is 00:29:09 and working on some shit, and she's like, I can't go to L.A. I got a fucking deadline for this thing. And so as soon as Hennigan found out Olivia Grace was canceling at the last minute, he called to felch all the jokes she'd already written.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. I wrote one for him. Because Jeff Ross was there. What was it? Because he does bumping mics with a towel closest his mic has ever been to relevant laughing
Starting point is 00:29:53 laughing I was sitting I was sitting beside him and he's one of the hand against me and Jeff's like oh you got me and I was like no oh, you got me. And I was like, no, Jeff, I got you. Let me say it.
Starting point is 00:30:09 You didn't know who I was. We're just, the killer is in your row. He's like right there. He doesn't even know. That's the sweetest plum. He doesn't even know. That's the sweetest plum. We were just talking about that on one of these fucking podcasts or at this bar about the speech writers that probably wrote, I have a dream or ask not what your country can do.
Starting point is 00:30:38 There's some fucking nebbishy kid sitting in the audience. I wrote that. He never wrote shit. Not a writer. Yeah. I wrote that. He never wrote a kid. Not a writer. Yeah. Yeah. He bombed with it at Mike's for fucking years.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Just couldn't make it work. And then a real personality came along. Yeah. Are you even bothering writing Corona material no I've been doing some
Starting point is 00:31:12 tweets but I'm not gonna yeah I don't think anybody wants to see an hour of what it was like to be in a lockdown when something such a shared experience uh yeah well that's like 9-11 was a weird thing where you couldn't like you can make jokes about coronavirus no nobody's gonna go you know viruses have feelings and
Starting point is 00:31:41 when we do have audiences again, of course, you're going to have to address the elephant in the room, but every comic is going to be like a fucking racehorse trying to get out there and do their Corona shit first. And it's going to be burned out on Twitter
Starting point is 00:31:59 or a million Zoom live from my living room shows. Yeah, with two viewers. If you did it on Zoom, you'd probably do it again. Not really burning material there. No, just getting to see how you look on stage. Yeah, we get this kid, Shane Gillis. You know, he's the kid that got fired from Saturday Night Live.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Yes. Yeah, he drove out from fucking Pennsylvania. So he's staying. He's riding out the storm out here in the guest house. Wow. He's like, him and Olivia were talking over a fence and a street because separation. But, yeah, that's what I miss the most is comedy. And that's what I miss the fucking least.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I'm so happy my gigs got canceled. Did you not take the opportunity when he got down to the compound to go, we were going to let you in, but then we found this old clip of you. I'm sorry. Did you really get out of your car in Lordsburg and use the restroom? Sorry, we can't let you in. It's not that we don't think you need a place to stay. It's just that others don't think you need a place to stay. The tribe has spoken.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah, a bunch of people who don't actually live here don't want you to live here. And you should totally do that to him today, by the way, if he's there. He's doing another podcast over in the guest house. Oh, he's doing well. Got a big one. If we had an Asian that lived in town, we could have them come over and go. Protest? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Pick it up. Wait, we do. Tweet. Tweet. Yeah, tweet. I wonder if we could get her to protest outside the house against shame killers. Let's just get a big order from the Vietnamese restaurant in town. Fantastic food. Let's just get an order and have her do it when she delivers it.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Oh, they don't deliver. They do pick up. They do the takeout. We could pull up and have her come out and go, no, not him. I assume she speaks in a fully American accent. No, no, she's straight up Vietnamese.
Starting point is 00:34:56 That's even better. Is it Bert Kreischer that does the thing where he can guess every Asian? He does that as a crowd rap thing where there's Asians in the audience. You're Filipino. You're Taiwanese. It's his thing.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I'm good at guessing ages. His is guessing which kind of Asian. Geographically where they're from? Yeah, yeah. Are you Thai? Are you Cambodian? Seems like he's been working for the government. No, he should be.
Starting point is 00:35:30 He might be. Let's talk to James Inman and see if there's a conspiracy theory on that. I think I could guess. I think I could do that. Have you done a lot of Southeast Asia? Well, you did. I could guess. I think I could do that. If I needed to. Have you done a lot of Southeast Asia? Well, you did. Fucking Wuhan. Wuhan or whatever it's called.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Wuhan. Yeah. I could still... Where Tom Rhodes? Where Tom Rhodes? Bring out Tom Rhodes. Bring out Tom Rose. Fulton is another guy. Dave Fulton is another guy that was kind of a trailblazer
Starting point is 00:36:14 of Chinese treble gigs. He's not but him and his wife adopted a baby from Africa that was not adoption that was what he got as payment
Starting point is 00:36:39 because they were a little short on the door here's a baby the baby's the door. Here's a baby. The baby's name is Door. It's a door deal. I don't know if any of this is really funny, or if I'm just day drunk on an empty stomach. Don't question it.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Just go with it. I, as you can tell, I have the... I'm at the end of my coronavirus haircut, which I did a patch at a time every day. Just shave a patch. Now we're down to just this, pretty much. But you can just let your hair grow out, because you're Canadian,
Starting point is 00:37:24 so I can see a little bit of that mullet starting to rock. I know. I know. It's going to be wonderful. And there's not a goddamn thing anybody can say about it. It's just not an thing you can understand. My wife's not happy about it. I've never been happier.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I've been angling for it. Hey, these are my stretch marks, bitch. Yeah, it's just where it wants to be. A lot of the time, your personality, if you just wouldn't touch your hair, you'd find out what you're supposed to look like. You don't get to, oh, I want to be longer, I'll get a cut. No, just let it rip. Chaley never did explain to me why we had to do this so early. Now it all makes sense.
Starting point is 00:38:24 No, I did, but, Doug, honestly, he's in the UK now. never did explain to me why we had to do this so early now it all makes sense but doug honestly i said he's in the uk now well that's why we have to do it at two because it's gonna be like eight or nine o'clock their time well you you have to say that repeatedly over and over and wake me up at breakfast with that written on the napkin remember when you shaved your head in the UK? Remember that night? Oh, my God. Glenn Wool and I had a fucking night. Wait, wait, wait. Is that the night we fucking hurled trash bags off the fifth floor into the street?
Starting point is 00:38:56 You were saying that the other night, but I want the full story. What happened? Well, we were getting fucked up. We were in a gay apartment. Wait, was this for Edinburgh or something? No, it was London. And I was playing the – it's not Leicester Square. I was playing the other one.
Starting point is 00:39:12 It's really steep where Glenn Hamburger plays in the theater district. Soho? Soho. Yeah, the Soho. So I think that's where I was playing. And and Hennigan, it was like cusp of Airbnb days. There was. So he found this. It was like a theater district. Hey, you can rent my flat kind of Airbnb situation before Airbnb. kind of Airbnb situation before Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:39:43 But it's the theater district. So we had the gayest apartment. There were statues of guys making out in the place. It was a gay apartment. Or a flat. Whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah, that would do it. Not only were there statues, there was like half-done painting of homosexual experiences. Like they can only get so far with the painting. It was fucking
Starting point is 00:40:13 Mapplethorpe's fucking cheat den. Yeah. The guy was so dissatisfied with the amount of gay art on his wall, sometimes he'd get up and have to create more. I remember there was a CD that we stole. I think we actually sold it on an eBay yard sale called Hamburg Leather Party.
Starting point is 00:40:37 And it had bears on the cover and fucking big fat bears. And I still... Hamburg Leather Party. Hamburg. We didn't listen to it. We just made up what the songs must sound like. Like gay rave in Hamburg, Germany. This stuck out enough
Starting point is 00:40:59 that Hennegan just told us a story about Hamburg Leather Party when we were passing through Vegas a couple weeks ago. And when you said it, I'm like, I think I've heard that. Oh, maybe I own that at one time. No, Hennegan was telling a story about Hamburg Leather Party. Yeah, so me and Bingo and Glenn Wool are fucking wrecked as the sun is near coming up, or it might have been like summer or
Starting point is 00:41:28 i don't know that it's so but i remember because you had to the recycling over there is really weird and just trying to find trash over there's everything sucks over there we took a full fucking garbage bag of trash and launched it off the balcony of this penthouse fucking apartment into the street. And I remember giggling in that, that awful laughter that you get when you did something horribly, horribly wrong. We were on drugs.
Starting point is 00:41:59 We were on drugs. It wasn't one bag. It was a succession of bags where you excluded Mickey D from the story. Oh, Mickey D! Fucking love Mickey D! Australian guy, he was so fucking funny. I think Mickey was the...
Starting point is 00:42:23 If he didn't come up with the idea, he certainly forced us to do the third. What happened? We hurled this bag off, and I believe in front of a taxi rank, all these fucking London black cab drive. What the fuck, mate? I remember us
Starting point is 00:42:56 because London with the CCTV is as surveilled as a Vegas casino. But we're above it all. So we see all the cameras, and I do remember, wait, they're all facing down at the street.
Starting point is 00:43:10 No one's looking up at us. But how we rectified the angry cab drivers was there was, because one, like it was a balcony, and one went on to like a road, and the other went into uh like a nice suburban square like a garden so that the second one went over that side and the lights were turning on it was like a
Starting point is 00:43:41 like a movie of uh what's all the ruckus the doors were opening did some chap hurl a bag of rubbish into the square who would do that it must have been an accident what a sneeze
Starting point is 00:44:03 so I shaved my head What a sneeze. So I shaved my head, and he'll correct me if I'm wrong, because I believe there were two times I shaved my head and the shaver burned out. Once was Australia with Renee. I remember that, where I was shaving my head, but it was the fuck. Like the clippers. Yeah. But the shaver burned out because it wasn't the right fucking electrical, I remember that where I was shaving my head, but it was the clippers. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:25 But the shaver burned out because it wasn't the right fucking electrical. Like, oh, yeah. And then I had to go on stage like my fucking earlier Corona virus haircut. I had to go out like that. I kept that. But I think it was a dissimilar thing. Yeah. You didn't get it all. you didn't get it all.
Starting point is 00:44:45 You didn't get it all. You were trying to convince me to do it. And I'm just like, I don't have the same problems as you, Doug. I don't shave my hair. I thought about it. It was on and off and on. Thank you. Is it a story?
Starting point is 00:45:06 Does it up the story if I shave mine too? And I was like, nah, we got the garbage. I don't have to go shaving my head for this guy. But that was, that was when
Starting point is 00:45:18 the third bag went over. Because it had all calmed down like the lights that had gone on in the square had gone off the cab drivers had forgotten it or gotten fares and gone so it was a new thing and we were like we could probably get you you i don't know you you had a bunch of garbage, but the third bag went over. I was a very American tourist in London where I didn't yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:52 my waist was apparent. I believe the third one hit a car and set off a car alarm and that was like, I'm going. I've never left the party cooler the drugs were done the bar alarm was going off i was like yeah this is just how i leave things nice hair do you ever
Starting point is 00:46:21 feel bad that now that you're a dad and i'm just an elderly man that we go, yeah, that's like, I don't have any good stories. I don't do shit like that anymore. I'm letting people down. No, no, I don't feel bad. If I didn't have any stories like that, I might feel like, oh, that was a wasted opportunity. But, you know, you ever seen Ali's last fights? The what? You ever seen Muhammad Ali's last fights?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Yeah, it was a live form. Yeah. Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes you foul out before the brain injuries. Yeah. I was

Starting point is 00:48:02 I tell you what, I did. What are the rules of your news blackout I just after 30 days of hearing no news I want to hear it all at once have you that's interesting to me I don't care about

No, I'm talking about where you live, Fetchitfield or Fidgetfield. It's called Finchingfield. Yeah, same thing. It's racist Pinching Field. Yeah, same thing.
Starting point is 00:48:45 It's racist. Yeah, like everything that would surprise me, I don't want to know. Like if fucking Bingo's dead or there's New World Order or the Illuminati just came out and went, all right, we got it too. Where's Bingo? Bingo's quarantined over at the Quiet House a couple blocks over. You've never been down. No, not since you got your new place.

Starting point is 00:49:36 No, I do remember a morning on the patio with you. Oh, it was good. It was good. And I was there for the cleanup. It was like maybe five of us in the house, and you just found random heroin. Wow, I didn't remember that. Yeah. Was Shawcroft at the same party? How do we know heroin?
Starting point is 00:50:08 Was it labeled? Somebody you knew amazingly knew what heroin smelled like. I can't remember who it was, but they did like a quick like, and they were like, yeah, no, it's heroin.
Starting point is 00:50:24 And I was drunk. I was like, yeah, fuck it. And everybody a quick like, and they were like, yeah, no, it's heroin. And I was drunk. I was like, yeah, fuck it. And everybody else was like, no, we just flushed down the toilet. I was like, yeah, I was flushed down the toilet. Andy evidently wasn't here for that one. He was. He was. That was the one. He was the one saying, don't flush it down the toilet. Yeah,. That was the one.
Starting point is 00:50:45 He was the one saying, don't flush it down the toilet. Yeah, he was. No, he was sleeping at whatever off that day. But that was the one. There was a really large kid there, like a really fat kid. And I bet Andy that. Child? Yeah, like a 13-year-old.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Like unbelievably large. One block Ben's kid, maybe? I don't know. But I wanted to know if Andy could tackle him in a football environment. Oh, yeah, that was one block Ben's kid because he was a football player. Yeah, and that was the only time i'd ever
Starting point is 00:51:25 seen you not go for the story i i don't know like andy andy got out of his wheelchair he had a All these facts are checking out. Absolutely accurate. Andy in a wheelchair with a football helmet on it saying, take this 13-year-old fat boy. Yeah, that checks out. Clean paint is always the worst. So what happened? Go ahead and tell us what happened it tackled the
Starting point is 00:52:07 frat kid that was the only thing that was going to happen obviously he'd lost his heroin earlier that day no that wouldn't have been his heroin he would have stolen that heroin
Starting point is 00:52:24 but as they say his 910 No, that wouldn't have been his heroin. He would have stolen that heroin. Okay. He stole some heroin and misplaced it. Sorry, I talked over you. He'd stolen some heroin, misplaced it, and now he's going to tackle a fat kid. That's how you make them play. You've got to know how to pull the strings on him. Those are the kind of challenges you need to give away.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Nickelback tickets. Hey, if you want Nickelback tickets, tackle the fat kid with the heroin. Seventh caller. seventh caller yeah out of out of the out of the
Starting point is 00:53:08 all the things that happened at the party that was the only thing I could trace that would make something fall out of a pocket so I'm pretty sure that's how the heroin
Starting point is 00:53:16 got mislaid oh my nose is running just going through these stories. Phantom drip. Yeah. Yeah, I do miss it. What are you going to tell your kids about these stories when you're your kid?
Starting point is 00:53:43 Sips and bumps. That's it. If you want to know what my idea about booze or drugs is, it's not don't do it, but just learn how to sip, learn how to bump. You know, like, you think about all the people who taught us
Starting point is 00:54:00 how to drink or take drugs. It's all, like, teenagers. Bum, bum, bum, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, these fucking London lines. Just take your key. There you go. Yes. Smart.
