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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
that's just a poor business model.
Yeah,
I,
I,
I,
fuck,
I closed out a lot of shows.
I closed out Seeso.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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...
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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
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?
Yeah, it was a live form.
Yeah.
Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes
you foul out
before the brain
injuries.
Yeah.
I was
going to say James Brown. Who's the
Browns running back?
Jim Brown.
Jim Brown. And then
fucking Detroit
Lions.
Barry Sanders.
Barry Sanders.
Good. OJ Simpson.
Simpson, awesome.
Just retire before
you have
any pre-existing injuries.
Yeah, that's one thing.
I'm not on Twitter at all for, I don't know, 11 more days.
But, yeah, I would love to be on Twitter watching OJ Simpson's Twitter commentary about the virus.
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
if there's coronavirus
in Steppenfetchitville or wherever the fuck you live.
What's it called?
Give it a plug.
I thought you were talking about Africa.
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.
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.
Wait, you've been to Bisbee?
Oh, yeah.
I came to
Super Bowl. Oh, that. I came to Super Bowl.
Oh, that's right.
Fuck you.
All right, sorry.
You had a lot of people over that day.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
God damn it.
That's, oh, can we play any of his shit?
No, I don't want to fucking make you do.
Yeah, no, we get into the fucking issues.
Honestly, copyright issues happen, especially with video.
Your bit.
Find Glenn Woolz.
Do you know the name of that track where you do the fucking bit
about the guy holding the key bump?
Fucking orchestra conductor.
It was one of the fucking
most legendary bits of all
time
I know
I think it might be called the conductor
position but if you
like when they send me
the royalties
that's the one bit
you can get it right down to what time
people are buying it at.
You can just tell
that it's just fucking dudes
railed off their heads going,
I got it. I found it.
I found it.
This is you.
This is you.
This is what you just did to me yeah that's probably what he's doing as he's holding back the lines he goes just listen to
this listen to this a little bit i remember him doing it i remember the first time i saw
just a second of you was my first time at edinburgh or one of the times the first time I saw just a second of you was my first time at Edinburgh
or one of the times, the first time I saw you
at Edinburgh where Hennigan
made me go and
you have to watch Glenn Wool
and the bit that you were doing
was about doing
cocaine and acid
at the same time and you said
that's the last thing you want when you're
hallucinating confidence.
Hang on.
Chaley doesn't remember
that I don't have my contacts in so
he's sending me a...
Alright, we're at an hour so
we're going to
wrap up.
I don't want to. You don't want to you don't want to give
you a time check because you don't have your glasses in all right we're at a fucking hour
i'm gonna be drunk by three it's three
i got one of my three weather girls that sent me a fucking
um weather update because i don't even want to go online.
I don't want to like a couple of news things have snuck past me.
So. So, yeah, I got like Bingo's sister works for the National Weather Institute and she'll send me at our local weather lady.
So she's like, yeah, this is a day to be out in the sun.
It's 75 degrees and there's no fucking wind.
So, yeah, go out and get a tan on that fucking freshly shorn head.
So I think I'm going to do that.
Maybe eat for the first time today.
Are you going to go bang your wife and squeeze out a fucking Corona brother?
Are you flirting with me?
Listen, we have to repopulate the earth.
This place looks like the end of 28 Days Later.
I enjoy your glass, sir.
I'm gonna go...
I just drooled.
I just fucking drooled.
See?
See where that line in the chin is?
I don't know if your camera's
blurry or...
Your eyes are weird, bro.
I see it.
You gotta finish it.
Scull it!
I gotta have
a respectable drink.
Respectable?
I can't.
I can't drink at all.
I'll get in trouble.
In so many ways.
It's like high school again, where you got to fill it back up with water.
She drinks it.
You can't do it.
You should start drinking something she just tests.
Well, we got day drunk in honor of your night drunk.
Thank you. And I feel like I'm day drunk, so I will use it as an excuse to drink into the night.
It's three o'clock somewhere.
Sophie's choice as a closer.
Sophie's choice. a closer Sophie's choice
this continues on
you have to eat the wife or the baby

emotions or just
what would be better?
No, no, no.
I think you answered instinctively, and that's how they get you.
I love you.
I miss you.
I miss you, too.
You have to come to the wonderful confines of England again,
and I'll take you around the countryside.

special we did. I was the host.
We'll do that again.
I'll put you on the fucking
chopping block.

Any comedic thing you need.
You need a fucking clown twisting balloons.
I'm learning to ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, and I like antiques.
So maybe I'll see you soon.
and I like antiques, so maybe I'll see you soon.
I believe both of those things when I went to your flat in London.
I love you all.
We'll have Bingo take us out of this
and we'll talk soon.
All right, buddy.
All right.
Okay, bye-bye now. Thank you. guitar solo that was fucking great.
Yeah.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, we've done a few of these.
We're just getting used to video.
But I wish I had this on my phone like kids do.
I would just FaceTime.
I don't have any of that, but it's kind of fun.
You do have it.
You just don't know how to use it. Yeah, I don't know how to use it.
There's a difference.
Yeah, it's like an astral projection.
Yeah.
Somebody knows how to do it.
I know.
But at the same time, we've been doing a lot of drunk dialing, and I wake up going, oh,
I'm glad they didn't answer.
I was going to say that me and Shane are he knows Shane Gillis
Glenn I'm sorry I thought Shane was going to be available
for the podcast but he
does another podcast with
a buddy of his named Matt
yeah
he's doing other podcasts
like other people's like everyone's
like hey will you do
yeah fucking Jim and Sam
and stuff yeah like
what to promote what what am i gonna tell you i'm fucking everyone has no stories we have stories
together but like recently we're having too
much fun reminiscing but have you fucking ever seen rammstein in concert no oh but this is the
only reason i know who that is is the guy that booked one of our uh uh scandinavian tours was in the
biggest rammstein cover band hennigan abused this guy so badly where i like i was i i'm buying
new mcdonald's to apologize for Brian Hennigan.
You don't even fucking realize how much a fucking... Hennigan could be a cocksucker.
And yeah, that was...
What was his title?
Geyer Norby.
Wow.
You ever have those moments where you go,
I wouldn't ever remember this if I wasn't drunk.
Geyer Norby.
Look it up.
G-E-I-R Norby.
I mean, Hennigan.
Chaley's looking it up.
I'm looking for Rammstein cover bands.
Rammstein cover band.
It's like Hamburg Leather Party.
Honest, have you got Amazon Prime?
Yes.
Yeah.
Watch.
It's called, it's Rammstein Paris.
It's their concert from 2017.
Like, I've always enjoyed their music, but it is fucked up.
You just have to think. It is fucked up.
There's a point where the drummer leads the rest of the band on leashes,
whipping them to a smaller stage.
Like, it's in the Stade de France.
There's like 90,000 people.
And they've got like eight balls in their mouth and he's
whipping them.
The fucking
lead singer gets a hold
of the keyboard
player and he's got him over
his knee and he's spanking him. And you gotta
remember, this is like fucking German
krautrock and it just
happens in
such a weird way.
You're like, oh, he's not gonna.
And then he fucking
unhitches his pants.
You know those old-timey
night...
Long John's
unhitch.
The Long John's with the flap in the back.
Yeah, Union Jacks. Yeah, Union Jacks.
Union suit.
He's got, he unflaps that and rapes him on the stage.
He's buggering his keyboard player.
And then he gets up and he's got like a prosthetic dick out
and he starts spraying the crowd like he's hooked it up to a milk pump or something.
He's spraying his dick and the crowd's like, oh, great.
Wonderful.
The German war. the german war
glad we didn't bring this up on the podcast because it would make us
throwing trash bags into the street looking kind of petty
oh i know i know how to protect the story.
I'll tell you afterwards.
I felt dirty.
My wife and child were asleep in the next room.
I thought they were going to walk in on me watching.
You can't even explain it.
It's like, well,
I just had it on ambiently, really.
That even makes Extreme Elvis look tame.
Extreme Elvis was at my wedding
and he's like drinking
piss and pulling a fucking tampon
out of his lead backup singer's pussy
and chewing it up.
Nah, there's no buggery.
I imagine that's the kind of thing
that's going on in the Ramstein cover band.
Such a fucking tame kid
and Hennigan was a prick to him.
Yeah. Can you imagine? such a fucking tame kid and Hennigan was a prick to him yeah
like can you imagine
Hennigan likes to get
low rent fucking workers
and then
chastise them for
not being professional
oh well I've never done this before
well you fucking suck at it
that's why you've never done this before because you fucking you fucking suck at it. That's why you've never done it before.
Because you fucking suck.
And we should have had these train tickets
purchased.
Yeah.
It's like when you
show up to a venue and some
fucking dude's staring at the
soundboard like it's
a goddamn master's degree.
Alright. Just don't touch it.
I'll try and figure it out.
Alright, sir.
Alright, man.
I'm glad to go.
It's been great to see you
all, and
this goddamn war will be over one day.
I'll come see you.
You come see me.
Go be weird.
Go make it weird.
Make it weird for the town.
It's your job.
Yeah.
Good night.
All right.
Act like you're CIA.
alright act like you're CIA CIA
feed in the local conspiracies
later
I love Glenwell
