Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Doug Stanhope podcast. Hello, and welcome to day whatever, who cares, on this sunny whatever day. Hot today. Yeah, somewhere during the week. Thank you Jamie Larson, Killer Termite and Patreon for the quickest re-gift
Starting point is 00:00:35 ever sent to the Funhouse. I'm re-gifting it as we speak. It's a professional waxing kit. I guess it's because of my nose hairs. Well, we talked about it a couple days ago. Yeah, my nose hairs keep coming up in conversation
Starting point is 00:00:50 and I just don't ever find my fucking trimmer. But it's a professional wax heater kit for my... If that was just for nose, it'd be like, whoa!
Starting point is 00:01:01 Because it's as big as like a cantaloupe. You don't wax your nose hair, silly. No, I don't think that's a thing. I think that Kardashians might, but that doesn't mean everyone should. Trim the ones that show. The rest of them hold snot in. Don't get too deep.
Starting point is 00:01:19 They're filtering. I know that. Did you know you put a dot on your eardrum with a marker? We're not going to do it. But eventually that dot would migrate to the outside of your ear. Just the wax is always moving. I would do that for sure. I would do that where they fucking pull your earwax out.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It's not the candling. That's bullshit. That's a fucking myth that doesn't do anything but make your ears sound beautiful. I had a girlfriend that believed in all that shit, dude. That's bullshit. That's a fucking myth that doesn't do anything but make your ears sound beautiful. I had a girlfriend that believed in all that shit, dude. It was so funny because I made it look like a bunch of shit came out. And then I took the other candling thing. It's like a tube, right?
Starting point is 00:01:56 And then I put it in my hand. And then when I was done, the same amount of stuff came out of my hand. Woo! We broke up. amount of stuff came out of my hand. Woo! We broke up. I went down fairly early.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I took a Xanax and then an edible. I came out and I gave Shane an edible. And he goes, wait, you're just going to give me weed and then go back to bed? I go, yeah. Hit and run. Yeah, I kept waking up to eat, though. You came in a couple times. Yeah, refreshed.
Starting point is 00:02:30 But I didn't stay. What was the hubbub between Officer Bob Friendly and Shane? They were talking about Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, yeah? And Shane was like... Wait, someone had a pro side to that? Epstein. Oh, yeah? And Shane was like... Wait, someone had a pro side to that?
Starting point is 00:02:46 Officer Bob was clearly devil's advocate. But he was saying, look, there's a difference between I think something fishy is happening or something fishy happened and we should definitely
Starting point is 00:03:01 look into this and there needs to be an investigation and all this stuff. It's like, look, something fishy. It could be weird, but the guy's dead. So he's dead. But Shane was just saying, yeah, but that guard has to know. There's something. He's like, how do you know?
Starting point is 00:03:17 And then it became this whole thing of like, how do you know? And Tracy's in between, physically in between, as it's ping-ponging back and forth as uh uh the drinks kept going uh it got pretty uh it got a little pitched at times but it was a it was a lively discourse all right which which I love in the fun house not while I'm trying to edit but I'd hear something I'd go hold on whoa, whoa, hold on. Now wait. Now you're both saying the same thing. And then I'd go right back into editing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I went out and there's a guy that sells shredded pork sandwiches on the street. So I went and got one for me and Shane. And he just looked at me and said, I think I'm going to die or I'm dead. at me and said, I think I'm going to die or I'm dead. Yeah, him and Tracy stayed up. It was one of the times I got up to eat again at like 5 in the morning as I was fucking still high. I woke up still fucking wicked high. I only had one project today, and I didn't do it,
Starting point is 00:04:20 and that was to make the goddamn watermelon jalapeno margarita mix. Which is basically pouring liquids into a larger vessel. Yeah. I mean, maybe chop up some watermelon. Yeah, muddle stuff up. I don't know if I'd put it in the Vitamix or just muddle it. You don't even have to measure anything. I get distracted.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah. But as I fucking slept good, I went back to bed. I took another Xanax when I woke up. Slept like 2.30. Wait, you got up in the morning and took another Xanax? Yeah. Because I woke up again at 5, whatever. I woke up to eat, but I didn't feel like I could go back to bed.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So I took another Xanax. What the fuck? What are you going to do? Yeah. Got to go to work? You got to shave before you put your tie on? Yeah, well, I wanted to watch that fucking Michael Jordan thing on ESPN. The Last Dance.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. And then Valentina says, you watched that last night. You know that. I went, ah, fuck. I'm running out of things. You know what I just watched? I fast forwarded through most of it. It was a stand-up comedy special I found on Starz or something.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Starz Network? Yeah. Cheap HBO? We're Still Here, I think it's called. It's Jimmy J.J. Walker and Michael Winslow from Police Academy. I saw a YouTube clip of that, yeah. Oh, it's, yeah. How was it?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Man, political correctness is getting out of hand. I'm telling you. They're shutting down circuses now. You know, circuses employ most clowns. That's funny. I thought most clowns were employed at Congress. It's getting views I watched it well not really
Starting point is 00:06:34 I watched it enough to go alright you had to watch one or two just to see if you still got it yeah and then I even Michael Winslow I'm like no no you can't do that anymore. Police Academy. Yeah, he just makes sounds.
Starting point is 00:06:50 He did toilet paper. Ladies going to the ladies room. Yeah. Yeah. I can't do this. can't do this. Like, for the most part, these days have been pretty relaxing.
Starting point is 00:07:10 But, yeah, I woke up today and, eh. Another one to cross off the calendar. I'm going to finish a book. I haven't read a page in a book in two weeks. I read two pages in a book. And, yeah, I still have that diamond medallion to finish. a page in a book in two weeks. I read two pages in a book. And
Starting point is 00:07:26 yeah, I still have that diamond medallion to finish. By who? John Hodgman. Yep. And at this point, I just want to skip to the parts that are actually about fucking
Starting point is 00:07:41 flight status. I don't have the attention span for a book. When we were coming back from Boise after the little mini tour and everything, I was just thinking, wow, we locked down. I'm going to get so much.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I started doing monster model kits and I want to build a small little workbench down in the basement. And I haven't done jack fucking shit. Yeah, well, you went up to fucking nine podcasts a week. Well, yeah. There is that. And on top of that is the drinking.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I mean, I like the video. I like because the 30 days forces me into getting into a routine, which I've yet to get into because of the drinking. That is more of a routine. But, yeah, I mean, I do have – I need to balance this. I need to balance. That is crooked, by the way. I know. It's crooked.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's got to get a comb over. It's crooked, by the way. I know, it's crooked. It's got to get a comb over everything. It's off-center, like you're doing two characters from The Three Stooges. Curly on one side and a little bit of Larry Fine. I was thinking of dyeing it so I could finally be one of the Trilingos. You guys, you and Tracy and Bingo all have colored hair. Trilingos? I was thinking about just dye dying this little tuft. Orange like the Lollipop Guild?
Starting point is 00:09:07 I was thinking like maybe a shock red. All right. Something you guys never do. No, I was just going to get some red. But that is nothing. That's a tiny bit. It would be a shame to get a whole bottle for just that. Yeah, I'll take whatever you got hanging around.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm sure you'd get a whole Korean nail salon full of different colors on your wall. I definitely have latex gloves because of it. Yeah, it worked out. That helped. And we had face masks for Tom and his landscaping. Tom's out of his landscaping. Tom's out of the landscaping business, which I think is good.
Starting point is 00:09:55 He's got fucking his health to worry about. Well, he gets bad allergies. And right now the cottonwoods, it's still raining down. Yeah, if you're a Bisbee landscaper. I mean, someone could leave a check in the mailbox. That's what my mom used to do, and there was no virus back then. Landscapers could still work. They're working by themselves out in the yard, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:16 There's a couple things. I'll put something up on next door. Hold on. We'll just wait. All right. There's no hurry right now. I don't know who's out of work. I should...
Starting point is 00:10:27 Yeah, well, again, one of these days I just have to... Not just drunk down on the podcast, but... Day drinking. Call the fucking neighbors. I haven't talked to Jen. Checking on backdoor. Checking on neighbor Dave. I've not seen backdoor.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I've seen the dog more than I've seen... I haven't seen him since uh i saw him once when we got back like like four weeks ago i saw raider when i was out checking the mail and i had no idea it was him because i didn't have my glasses on and he said hi and i just went who is it i don't have glasses now explain why you don't have glasses on and why you can't see well i took my contacts out and never take my contacts out there and i think the last time i remember taking them out was uh in summer in tucson when i was up at the home stretch writing the book uh and i remember taking them out it's april now so june or july
Starting point is 00:11:20 when you took your when you last replaced the uh of plastic. Yeah, I switched them out. I took them out and I let my eyes breathe for a fucking day. But then I really have to be this close to the computer screen to read without my glasses. You're like leaning in and closer and closer. Yeah. Yeah. So it's pointless. And so when I take them out, then I need my regular glasses.
Starting point is 00:11:41 But I never wear them because unless I'm watching TV, I don't care if you're fucking blurry as fuck. I'm over here, Doug. I took my glasses off somewhere last night and I couldn't find them because I'm fucking blind, so I'm just close to every surface. Glasses, glasses, not readers? Yeah, because there's reading glasses
Starting point is 00:11:59 every fucking where you look. There's at least 18 pairs of fucking reading glasses in the funhouse. So I'm going room to room. Then I found another pair of old glasses. So I'll use these to try to find the other ones. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Give me some questions from the folks. Hold on, let me put on my glasses. Let's reach out to people. I need a drink. All right. Nicky Fitz. Hey, Nicky.
Starting point is 00:12:24 How are you? I'm sorry I haven't dropped your name in a while. No, he's over it. Is he? Yeah. Is he angry again? He says, hey, had you read the letter I sent you with the Times Square LP, you would know how much I admire and appreciate your work.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I know you emailed me and told me that. And I said you gave me something to talk about that day. It was fucking digging up mother had me in tears more than once. It was fucking beautiful. I don't mind you giving me shit. It's hilarious. And I did my name on the podcast. Oh, and I would never call you cunt boy.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Maybe cock face. That's right. That dream I had. Nicky Jack Mouth Fitz. Jack Mouth. Hey, Nicky Jackmouth Fitz. Jackmouth. Hey, Nicky. All right, well. What are you drinking?
Starting point is 00:13:12 It's Angry Orchard Rose. It's the last of the hard ciders. We're getting down there. Yeah, eventually we're going to have to drink all this shit. We've got three coolers out there of a June wedding left over from a bar at Sierra Nevada and Negro Modelo.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Those are still out there? Yeah, I put them in the shade. But there's, yeah, they, you know. Yeah, they have all the rusted caps and stuff. Austin's weird that we don't know people that would drink all of those. But we used to have parties where they would get down to like 4 a.m.
Starting point is 00:13:47 and the cooler would be gone. Yeah. It would just be a thing. You wouldn't even see the bottles, you know? But yeah, those days. Austin Green. These are our Patreon questions. Austin Green, you guys are killing it.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Shane Gillis is great. He's a great addition to the podcast and i really appreciate really appreciate the news blackout i've been stuck working overtime this whole quarantine and it's a nice break from bad news and i think that is that's the reason i put that in there it's not really a question but it is this is a spot where we're not going to be talking about something that everyone else is handling that part of it. Yeah. I mean, you and I, I keep wanting to flip you something because of what's going on.
Starting point is 00:14:32 And you're right. Just leave it be. Yeah, it's only another fucking eight or nine days or something. Yeah, I don't know what I've learned from it. But I mean, the focus is on something other than that. Yeah. I mean, there's that, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 You don't have to learn anything. It's just how you spend your time. It will be an eye-opening. Okay, Spencer Hines. That name sounds familiar. Is it someone maybe donated on the football thing or something? Spencer Hines says, Hey, Shayla, any chance you guys can re-release the Inman video on a different platform?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Vimeo is absolutely unwatchable for me and others. The buffering is incredibly slow. I don't really know what a lot of that means. I do have the answer, no. I don't really know what a lot of that means. I do have the answer, no. Because Vimeo is our platform because it works with Patreon. And we have to be behind a paywall on that because eventually, you know, we're going to figure out what we're going to do with video.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But we need to be behind the paywall for Patreon subscribers. They're getting all of these podcasts in video. And the main thing is the Inman video is what it is. That's not Vimeo's problem. That was how it came through. Yeah, I was staggered. Like we did the Glenn Will one that went out yesterday. And now we're using just Skype. We're not encoding through Skype and then putting it through OBS at the same time.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I'll go quick here. But what we're doing now is we've streamlined it to where we're only using the processor of the machine that we're using is just working through Skype and not through OBS and Skype at the same time. So that helps with a little of the choppiness. It still is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:16:21 There's going to be some lag, especially because we do hour-long videos. Hour and 20 with mike uh kroger uh kruger kreiger kruger like like uh freddy kruger like freddy kruger mike kruger yeah so that one went out so yeah it's uh we're working on it i don't know what the fuck i'm doing so yeah left it all on the fucking uh carpet that one. He was great, man. I talked to him a little bit after, and he's like, he's like, dude,
Starting point is 00:16:48 tour manager for Hedberg and Stanhope? No way. And I was like, dude, you play the big day out in fucking Australia. You don't, I'm looking for fucking extra pillows at the fucking Red Roof Inn. It's hardly the same.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah, I sent him Bingo's trombone lick there, and he loved it. He gave her a call. She didn't answer because she was on mushrooms. I used to play it for everyone in his house. Yeah, I just said he played it for his whole family. No, that's our out now. Bingo, play your trombone and get us out of here
Starting point is 00:17:23 because I got it in the system now, so we can play it. You want to keep going? All right. Let me know if you get fatigued, and then I'll take your temperature to make sure it's not the COVID. Let's see. Oh, here's the one. Here's the one.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Have they shortened it to the vid yet like they did with the hiv? I'm actually – Like the vid. I look at – Hung up with the vid yet? Like they did with the hiv? Like the vid. Hung up with the vid. I look at the Patreon questions, and then I'll go to stanhopepodcast at gmail.com. I'll go get questions there. And I really don't have much time for news after that.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And then if I go on Twitter, I'll try and look at something. But usually I'm distracted to see what Inman's doing. You've been fucking getting into yeah yeah i i fucking i drink the kool-aid so i'm in so uh hey mike bailey sorry if that's not the way that's the way it looks uh he asked hey love the podcast uh was just listening to bill burke podcast there's a podcast that those two do together. Oh, yeah. And he's like, Stan Hope called me at 2 a.m., LOL. But a little ego bump for Doug is Bill Burr was like, Hey, I love that guy.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Missed talking to him. Haven't seen him since the End of the World podcast. That wasn't a good Bill Burr. We don't have Junior Stopka here. So here's the pitch. Can you get him on the Swapcast? Anyway, yeah. Just wondered if that might help you with your drunk dial game.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Yeah, well, that's funny because he was going to be like my number one guy that I wouldn't want to drunk dial. The thing with the drunk dial is, and you guys were talking about it last night, the thing is, is that there are people that are high up on your list. High, what they call Q rating. But the higher they go, the less you want to
Starting point is 00:19:16 bother them. It's actually not the how big they are necessarily is how inappropriate it might be. Well, that's, yeah, I mean... There you go. Sorry, Jay, like my my wallet have you seen it i've looked everywhere and i'm like 30 minutes away from being too late to get meds just take mine i need my driver's license you haven't seen it anywhere take don't know this is the last place all right okay all right i'm about to give up
Starting point is 00:19:41 but it is one of those things where that person is important enough in your sphere that you don't want to but you will risk it against someone who has a higher one because you have to kind of match those names. Yeah, I don't know Bill well enough.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And he's got a fucking wife and kid now and I think Rogan would be second to Bill Burr on my list. The ones on his list, those are tough calls. They're definitely up high enough that you'd have to scratch his number one. I texted him out of the blue. Right when Bill Burr was saying that, I talking to him oh well he won't miss me for
Starting point is 00:20:28 long then yeah get ready uh john burns says shaley do you have t-shirts from the sean ralph junior stop stopka andy andrews tour no sold out goodbye so sad those sold out j Goodbye. So sad. Those sold out? Jesus. People are hoarding everything. You need to wipe your ass that bad? You spent $25 on it. It's a black t-shirt, dude. Yeah, you can reuse it. At the end of the tour, Andy had so many.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I go, just send them to me. I'll buy them from you. You're a sucker. We eventually gave away whatever we couldn't give away okay let's see see i gotta read this one for shame because it was talking about his jerk off story which was so good and i want to give him save it yeah yeah give that one. He was talking about leaving last night. Yeah, I don't know. Well, he's certainly not leaving today. Yeah, he goes, I think I'm going to leave in a week.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Go get an Airbnb with Big J or something. I don't know. No, he said Big J wasn't going to do it, but he was going to go somewhere like Virginia Beach or something and get some fucking beach house and hang out with a bunch of friends. Why are you leaving now? I thought you were riding this out. And then he said, oh, I kind of felt like I'm wearing out my welcome. That's, now
Starting point is 00:21:50 I'll stay. Well, all three of us were kind of giving him shit. It's like, well, hold on. Do we do you need more pillows? Do we need to Is there not enough food in the fridge? The pillows. Bad Santa.
Starting point is 00:22:05 He's always bringing extra pillows. Bad Santa. Chaley's always bringing extra pillows. T.S. writes, blah, blah, blah. Does Doug remember the show he did at a Mexican restaurant in the Santa Cruz Mountains?
Starting point is 00:22:17 I was just, I was going to finish it. You just said Mexican restaurant. I was going to guess. I should have stopped. I was going to. Yeah, it was like
Starting point is 00:22:23 20 minutes north of Santa Cruz. And then we went to that fucking cop smoker bar afterwards in town. Oh, that bar. Like the office or something. It was fucking great. No, that was the. And we were staying at a fucking boutique-y, she-she hotel like across the street.
Starting point is 00:22:39 And we watched World Cup. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. In the bar. Yeah, that was a. A little day drinking. Even as much as that was a she-she kind of boutique hotel,
Starting point is 00:22:47 I still thought it was pretty cool. And the Mexican place was like a co-op kind of thing. And they had like volunteers working the door. Oh, yeah. The room. It was back behind the Mexican restaurant. Some old fucking... Like a banquet hall.
Starting point is 00:23:04 What do you call them? Not cogent? Docent. Docent. Yeah, some fucking docent old man was at the back door. Bathrooms are over there. If you have a drink, we need you to clear the aisle here. Yeah, he's
Starting point is 00:23:20 standing at the back entrance and then there's a long hallway into the fucking showroom. Showroom, yeah. Slash fucking Sunday buffet stage. And I'm smoking out in the parking lot, and he yelled at me for smoking outdoors, but, you know, near parked cars, because it blew towards the door and eventually was going to kill everyone in the room. I remember having a good time at his expense, but he didn't.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I didn't finish it because i figured you were going to say that because that's exactly what he was asking about if you remember the owner yelling at you because uh ts says it easily my favorite show ever bingo spent some time talking with my girlfriend about hair dye that you know why one of the reasons i remember that show when i remember so few is uh that was one of the the it's on the special that's coming out but if you've seen me in the last fucking few years you probably heard the bit that was one of the shows that Laura Kimball
Starting point is 00:24:12 showed up when she was dying of cancer and again sat right in the front for an act she'd seen fucking eight times and that's I think the night I go will you just please die you're fucking up my shows so she's dead we also did a podcast that was our only podcast I've ever had to pull from I go, will you just please die? You're fucking up my shows. So she's dead. We also did a podcast.
Starting point is 00:24:30 That was our only podcast I've ever had to pull from 383. Oh, Andy Andrist. It wasn't Andy. He was the other guy. Yeah, but it was, yeah, Andy. No, we don't know his name. Yeah, I don't. But yeah, it was fucked up. So let's see.
Starting point is 00:24:43 I don't need that one. It was someone that said they were molested by the same guy as Andy. Contacted him by email because Andy's never lose-lipped about that dude's name. And then afterwards, Andy's like, I think he might be lying. Well, anyway, it got pulled. Kristen Love. let's see are this more shane gillis shane gillis gets a lot of email man on your podcast yeah he's got a package here too that's his second 212 van dyke street bisbee arizona 85603 yeah shane gillis has gotten a couple of fan packages well i mean you might as well get mail if you're gonna hang your hat so so uh drew lewis has asked uh what you were talking about
Starting point is 00:25:32 things to watch in the quarantine and he says the two things that he watches are is basically this podcast stanhope's 30 day news blackout and better call saul and he says it dawned on me. Hang on one second. I'm telling him there's a package in the fun house to see if he gets up and opens it for us. So he said it dawned on me today that Saul Goodman is exactly what Stano would be if he had become a lawyer instead
Starting point is 00:26:02 of a comedian all the way down to the wacky suits and running scams to pull them off. Have you seen Better Costell? Yeah, I just watched the season finale and it's really fucking irritating. Like, just get to a point.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I've learned to fast forward through it. I don't know if it's just because of the mood I wake up in. I hate things I can't binge. I hate things I can't binge. Yeah. I hate the weekly things. I get tired of fucking Vince Gilligan always doing the shot up through the fucking manhole or I'm working on a car battery,
Starting point is 00:26:36 so let's get a shot from under the car battery. Yeah, I know you like that. It's in fucking every show. Just stop. And it just doesn't fucking... Get to some violence. Get to some killing. I don't fucking remember any of these people.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Breaking Bad is so long ago. I don't retain season to season, and I don't care about most of the storylines. Just get to the fucking Gus Fring and the cleaner guy. It reminds me of when you would fast forward anytime the psychiatrist would show up on the Sopranos.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Sopranos, yeah. And it always hits me. Or the family talking in Ray Donovan and I was so happy when the wife died. Yeah. You were always... But every time I hit that point, because every series that goes more than a couple episodes and then goes multiple seasons, they hit that one clunker season where they're going, we're going to do a little story development.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Characters is what this season's about. It's like a rebuilding season in a football team. We're not going to win any trophies, guys, but we're going to be contenders. We're building towards something. Wait until next year. We have a four-year plan for Better Call Saul. And the good parts are good, but there's just not enough of them. Wait until next year. We have a four-year plan for Better Call Saul. Ugh. And the good parts are good, but there's just not enough of them.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And I don't follow. I watched on HBO. They have a good one. It's up to three out of four. It's the Atlanta child murders. It's the Wayne Williams serial killer. That's pretty good. What? I can't watch that shit.
Starting point is 00:28:07 And from what I know, the Michael Jordan one, I did it after. Yeah, you already watched that. Oh, wait. Yeah. And then I go, oh, fuck. Michael Jordan looks like a fucking, like one of those old wet-eyed drunks. Just, yeah, bloated and stuff. Scotty Pitman looks good pitt looks good he drinks now
Starting point is 00:28:27 that's what he said yeah i wasn't in a you know chicks and partying and i didn't i didn't drink then then he's got a scotch and a big fat stogie i love it uh ollie beatwell from the uk asked this is a question specifically about the podcast setup, where we're set up right now. Do you have particular spots that each of you stand or sit whilst getting wasted at the fun house? I'm always at that end of the bar, away from these. Chaley's at one end, I'm at the other,
Starting point is 00:28:59 and that's how we keep our friendship alive. It's a long-distance relationship. It's real good. It's like lucy and desi with separate twin beds yeah we get a lot of bar in between us but yeah we gotta redo this whole bar one day well before that i mean we can talk about that but i do want to answer the question uh when we set up there are we we should probably do the video maybe we should do that we'll do the video of a tour of just the fun house and how we set up for the podcast just as a thing
Starting point is 00:29:31 to put online sure um but people are set up like each of our microphones are our names are on them so we basically sit in the same spot so we stand in the same spots and the spots for, as this has gotten bigger and bigger, it is always been kind of dug opposite the three other mics or the four, sometimes the four other mics with me at one end and dug it at the other. And now that he can't see, I can't really motion to him, but there's usually a contact between us on what we're doing and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:30:04 As clunky as it sounds, we actually really try to do a good job. But I think we should do that. We were going to say, we talked about it the other night, was somehow you've come up with an idea that moving this into the house or something happened. I don't know. That's what I was saying. I want to move that dining room table in over there. But if we can come up with... We'll go in after.
Starting point is 00:30:27 We always talk about that. Right after this, let's go in and take a look at the area and see what we could fucking build in there. One day. I mean, you'd increased like 700 plus square feet in a place that still has one dude and a dog and a cat. I mean, you really, that front room would actually, we could, we'll talk about it. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, but not soon.
Starting point is 00:30:56 No. This is working just fine. Sebastian. Is it Maniscalco? No. I did check uh from Finland
Starting point is 00:31:08 Sebastian asks will you play a song if I write it for the podcast and then he he wrote a verse and stuff and I'm
Starting point is 00:31:14 I'm not gonna read it but listen I'll I'll play anything go on read the fucking thing no you read it
Starting point is 00:31:21 I'll read it give it to me uh there's a verse, a bridge, and a chorus. Put on your glasses. I don't need glasses. That's why I have to do it like this now. Get in camera. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Did he cross out the... Oh, that's the... That's the one. The world needs a drunken asshole, teller of truth, daytime and nighttime. Every day, high or low, smokes up a storm down in Bisbee. And the bridge?
Starting point is 00:31:54 Can't let the bugs and flies run the show, oh no. Raise your glass and drink up. Doug Stanhope, Chad Shank, Chaley's something something. It's the chorus. He kind of... Yeah, he trailed it out with something something. Like, yeah, Chad Shank, Chaley's Something Something is the chorus. He kind of trailed it out with Something Something. You get the idea. So now, everyone out there in
Starting point is 00:32:11 Killer Termite World, you have the lyrics. You can create a song. The only thing I ask is if you're going to do something... How about write a title for my book? It's making me crazy. I have some fucking mediocre ones but I
Starting point is 00:32:27 want something strong. I thought I had it but I don't. You always come up with something though. Yeah. Is that important? You want to take a break? No, I was hoping it was That's a Shane question. Nickelback question.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I think we're done. That's it. That was it. Sorry. I pulled the Shane ones because I'd rather do that in front of him. But this is the thing... That was not him on the text. I was hoping that was him saying in front of him. But this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:33:05 That was not him on the text. I was hoping that was him saying he'd be right out. This is the thing about music. Scotty Conant created a song for us, and it's not posted anywhere. Oh, yeah. Thanks for that. That was the first time I heard it because I never listened to my podcasts. And then I finally had to watch the one with Inman because everyone else did.
Starting point is 00:33:27 And it had three endings? Yeah. I hope everyone knows that it had three endings. Well, I did it short enough that if like you weren't even through, you know, half of the credits, so you'd be like, oh. But he did the thing called the Stanhope Rag that he produced and created the whole thing for us. And the reason I use it is because it's not posted anywhere and someone can't say copyright violation or whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:53 No lyrics? I could write to that. If he wrote that into a fucking double disc. It's instrumental. It's perfect for you. It's fucking ragtime. Love it. Yeah. So the reason I can use that and no one can ding us on it is it's not posted anywhere it's not off someone's album
Starting point is 00:34:10 or something and that's we've run into problems with that is as much as we can get like we were talking about mike uh i want to say krieger like bobby krieger yeah that's right yeah kruger like mike kruger from nickelbacks you know i can get him to say, yeah, I wrote that song. You guys can use it. That doesn't mean we're not going to get dinged on it. So we just don't use anything. Like the mat toy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:32 You know? All right. Thank you for everything. And we'll see you tomorrow. A little bit more energy. Take us out bingo um okay bye bye now Thank you. Thank you.
