you're listening to the Doug Stanhope podcast
I've run the intro first yeah no I thought you were saying that we were going live
however whatever you just said hey welcome everyone to the uh Shake the Baby Funhouse Doug Stanhope Podcast's Company Christmas Party.
It's Christmas in July in late May.
You know what?
Every day was better when we didn't know what day it was.
So, yeah, we decided to have our company Christmas party because that was the first time that
the Chalys and I ate out at a restaurant
together and we always do our company Christmas party at the Hana Tokyo Sushi in Sierra Vista
and so we went there and we brought along Dave Rader because Chad Shank doesn't go out and we
couldn't get him it didn't answer the phone for our podcast. But then again, I'm really bad about planning our podcast.
I just go, hey, you want a podcast right now?
And Chaley will say yes or no.
Or I have to do Andy's podcast, Know Your Place.
So yeah, it was a beautiful day.
So, yeah, it was a beautiful day.
Raider doesn't eat sushi,
so he sits there like he's in a baby seat and eats teriyaki or something.
It is like a nine-year-old.
Yeah.
It's like, listen, all right, we'll make you a deal.
I don't want to try it.
Eat one bite, and then you get to watch TV.
Yeah, and you goaded him to like, just try a little.
He'd get some sampler plate of something other than sushi,
but it did also have ginger on it.
Pickled ginger.
Yeah, and you explained to him, just try a little bit of everything.
And so he tried the ginger and said, what did you say?
It tasted like eating one of those wet nap.
Like you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Which was a very good description.
But then when we left him unattended with our eyes,
his little baby hands got into the wasabi,
which he was being experimental
and took a nice bite
of wasabi
and went
ah
yeah that was
that was a mistake
I mean Doug
you and I
we obviously
enjoy sushi
we've had sushi
a million times
and you love to
challenge yourself
by eating the biggest
glob of wasabi
well not only that
but like I'll eat
like I'll eat
whatever's there
you know usually
and
could you imagine
at this
at RH right now
trying
sushi for the first time
that's what I was
trying to say
like expand your
horizons Raider
this is
this is a moment
that I'm gonna remember
and he's like
tastes like
unwept towelette
I'm like
oh man
yeah it was a premise
I was working on.
Just a list of things
I've done
that I would have never done if it weren't for
a woman.
Or COVID.
That'd be a good list. Was it COVID
or a woman
that made you do something?
No, alcohol. We always
discussed if we made...
Hang on, I was
telling you to write that down for me.
Oh, that was the... It was sushi.
Sushi I would have never tried except
I was trying to impress a chick. Really?
Jackie Trinka. Oh. Yep.
In Phoenix, Arizona.
I'm like, alright.
She's also the one that
convinced me to get an earring.
Good job, Jackie.
Wait, wait.
An earring at like a piercer or an earring like, hey, give me that safety pin.
He's down.
Yeah, no, no.
I went to the mall.
I remember I drank a big gulp cup of rum and Coke on the way there.
I was so scared. It's kind of like my first vaccination shot.
Wow.
So, yeah.
You're seeing the seven-year-old girls
get it every day. Right.
Yeah, seven-year-old girls
get them, which
is not, like, that should be an
age of consent thing.
It was one of the, when I did the hidden camera thing,
it never worked, but we brought a baby in,
because it was just eyeglass camera.
This is the late 90s.
Was this the, was it Beware of Doug?
Beware of Doug, yeah.
And we finally found someone to give up a baby.
Because you only had the eyeglass cam.
So you tried to find a prop.
And so I could put the baby up into the shot, in and out,
while I'm talking to the person behind the counter,
trying to get nipples pierced, lip pierced, tongue pierced.
But they were all tattoo people, so they didn't react.
Wait, your own or the baby's?
The baby.
Like, I'm trying to get the...
Well, if you can do it to a fucking seven-year-old,
why can't you do it to a fucking baby?
That is a thing in the...
A seven-year-old can talk.
But even babies, infants,
in the Mexican culture,
they will pierce the earrings.
They'll put little tasteful studs.
Yeah, the earrings.
Yeah, sure.
But I'm saying, when it comes down to what part of the body is it okay to pierce,
yeah, in Kenya, they put a plate in their lip when they're five.
I don't know.
Like, at what point is it okay to do that?
Hey, I'm fucking three years old
and I fucking have nine metal rings
around my elongated neck
and I can't hold my big head up.
At what point do you say no?
That's really one of the biggest...
At the fourth?
Yeah, it's one of the biggest issues
where it comes to...
Yeah, anytime we have conversations about,
well, what you can do with children as a parent versus as a society.
You can't tell me how to raise my kid.
Yeah, I know.
I agree that that shouldn't be a thing.
But I also think there's times where you're going to go, listen, no.
think there's times where you're going to go listen, no.
And I think
if you can
pierce an ear, you
can pierce a tongue.
Like if you convinced a child it was
cool, they'd do it.
But you're running into it.
Well, a seven-year-old can talk. They can say no.
Well, then is that an excuse?
Well, hey, you molested my kid.
Well, she's seven.
She could have said no.
I was going to say, being able to speak doesn't mean an adult human won't do something despicable to them.
Right.
Yeah.
I remember when I grew up, tattoos were illegal, like completely, for anyone in Massachusetts.
Wait, hold on.
For adults?
Yeah.
You don't think maybe this is something your mom told you?
No, I didn't want one.
I never wanted a tattoo.
I think there were years where I was impressionable enough that if Jackie Trinka told me to get a tattoo of a pierced ear and some kind of sushi fish with a pierced ear, yeah, I would have done that too.
A skipjack tuna with a pierced fin.
Tattooing was actually illegal in New York City until 1997.
Yeah.
What?
It's a health issue,
which is just bullshit.
It's just puritanical.
You shouldn't get that.
It might be the Jews.
Ask Rader.
You can't get buried
in a Jewish cemetery,
and you know what?
Those Jewish cemeteries,
they don't want to lose revenue.
We control the banks,
the media,
and the plots.
Wait,
with a piercing?
That's not plots with a Z.
It's not Yiddish.
I'm talking about cemetery plots.
Plots.
Is it with a piercing or tattoo?
I know a tattoo.
I think you can have piercings.
They use health code issues for every fucking nonsense thing.
Oh, titty dancers having to wear the, what do you,
they're basically pasties.
Pasties, yeah.
They make them out of Band-Aid, Elmer's glue or whatever.
Oh, because you lactate from there.
Well, okay, then let's balance that against letting women breastfeed on a bus.
If it's such a health concern, you get to tell that recently unpregnant lady that she can't flop out her tit in a subway.
Excuse me, sir.
Behind the stanchions, we have a breastfeeding mom over here.
You need to be eight feet.
Wear a mask.
Stop the bus.
Yeah.
You need to be eight feet.
Wear a mask.
Stop the bus.
Yeah.
I love that concept of balancing one bullshit thing against,
okay, you can't say fuck on terrestrial radio.
Okay, but we hired our sideline, our third man there.
What do you call it?
The guy you pick on.
The intern.
Yeah,
but,
Sidekick.
The whipping boy,
that's what I was looking for. Whatever.
It's,
they're all upset.
But I'm saying,
you hire one that has Tourette's
and you use the Americans
with Disabilities Act
against the FCC
and pit fucking
red tape versus red tape
and let them work it out.
Meanwhile,
your sidekick is barking
fucking obscenities
every third word that's not oh whoa hey he's free speech yeah and he is he came in here with braces
so right are you gonna cancel them you're gonna cancel a a a kid with a mental illness who just
got his big break in radio? You motherfuckers.
That's probably the only thing I miss about radio,
is that it was, you could do shit like that in small markets,
because I was in a very small market,
and we got away with a lot of shit,
because at one point we were number one, and then whatever.
But you could fuck around,
and there was always someone angry at you
for trying to have fun
between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.
You're not playing enough songs.
Who cares?
It doesn't matter.
They're all on.
They'll hear them from 10 o'clock on repeatedly.
You're playing most of them four times a day.
But yeah, that was one
thing about radio i don't i mean not enough that i stayed in as a career yeah yeah i was i was doing
johnny dare did i talk to you about that because you you had to be doing a live remote you were in
no no i i did it from in from the uh airbnb that morning oh you Zoomed it in? No, just phone. Oh, just phone, yeah.
Yeah.
That's old school radio.
Which I just,
I totally channel my inner Stan Hope
of like, good morning!
Because they've already been up.
Yes.
And I woke up 20 minutes beforehand.
You were in the bathroom.
Yeah, I had to go in the bathroom,
much like doing Issues with Andy podcast.
No one wants to hear me yell to someone they can't hear.
And yeah, it was great.
Johnny Deere's a great, he's an ambassador for all things Halloween, which is awesome.
And he knows his shit, which is awesome.
Yeah, we did talk about this.
Yeah, it was great.
We went through it.
awesome yeah we didn't talk about this yeah but uh yeah it was great we went through it but it's like he he is the consummate professional in that boom bang boom done and then that's it i've talked
more to the producer jake than i talked to yeah johnny just because he's got a whole fucking day
and i'm i'm stoked that he even remembered to to us. And then he came by the booth and checked out everything.
And, you know, it was pretty slow this year, so I got to walk him. Yeah, I was going to say, should we do a recap since it's the random company Christmas party?
No, there's nothing to recap.
Slow year.
25% of our sales usually what we do.
I talk to my accountant, is there anything else you need from me?
He goes, not really.
Good year.
I just went on stage for the first time Saturday night.
I had a bit of a banner week.
Okay, remember what you're talking about.
Banner week.
I have an idea for the next time you're going to go on stage.
I'm writing it down.
All right.
And we'll go to that.
Go ahead.
Your banner week.
Well, we've known, obviously, we can do shows in here.
We've filmed Pop-Off Vodka Presents here as a tester,
but it's still available on Vimeo.
It's got some...
VHS.
Yeah, we still have a few VHS left
from the Doug Stanhope merch page.
Andy's is being released on 800-pound gorilla.
The audio that was recorded here,
June 25th.
And then this is the kicker
they're only doing the audio
Andy's in charge
of the video release
oh my god
you're fucking kidding me right he goes no no we'll be good
I go you understand that if I try
for the last month
nature jack
which was an easy way to remember how to get to Andy's weird fucking URL, is still down.
He goes, well, you know, no buts.
You're the one in charge of the video release?
He goes, yeah, they handed that over to me.
I'm like, well, they got the best team. I get a long email from Inman about how people hate him and he can't get on issues.
And it was at least eight, nine paragraphs.
Long.
Yeah.
Full paragraphs.
Not haikus.
And it's just the fucking redundancy about, no, I did the unbookables.
He wakes up every morning at 6 a.m. to Sonny and Cher,
I got you, babe.
And he's in a small, strange town promoting the unbookables
with the same complaints and the same things for the last 14 years.
It was 2013 that came out.
I didn't even write back.
It's just, yeah.
He's a conspiracy theorist that won't
I think it's because
someone dosed me
with acid on one of the nights
that we were filming and now I know
why people hate me.
Oh my god.
It's just Bill Murray trying to get out of fucking Groundhog's Day with a different solution every time.
But it's the exact same set of circumstances.
See, you got to go with it.
You got to go with the flow.
You know what?
I'm going to give Inman props.
He fucking filmed something and it went out.
Yeah.
Andy?
Andy?
That'll be going on three years.
Yep.
Mine took a year due to whatever circumstances.
Well, you had a little more juice behind you on that.
I think we were looking for more juice than we had on that.
I think is what Brian was up to.
At least there was juice.
So, yeah, we knew that we kept kept talking we've talked for the entire covet about
we can do shows here you know for people who have been quarantined and now that people are vaxxed
i've just put it up because i know i'm gonna have to write material so i uh thursday morning
bingo came over early and you want to have a cocktail, 8am cocktail, and actually
if we invite people, then we're going to have
to do the show. Because she was on it.
Her and Tarek performed a couple of songs.
Vodka Juice Box.
They were great. Yeah, I had Floyd
and Fury.
Fury killed Val.
Valentino went up.
And Christine Levine
destroyed.
Fucking really dark stuff that's in the moment and not resolved about a fucking missing relative that might be dead.
I'm like, man, this is strong.
And yeah, so we did comedy.
I spent six hours at the dining room table with fucking notepads.
six hours at the dining room table with fucking notepads.
And it felt like doing comedy,
and it sounded in the tone of doing comedy.
I don't know if it was funny or not.
I'm not going to listen to it.
I don't have that kind of free time.
But it was fun.
And then we did karaoke afterwards with Mrs. Michael Bean,
who's an enthusiast, to say the least, and then eventually
everybody. Well, the Ochoes, too.
Lady Ocho.
Yeah, the Ochoes in the Loud House
in the neighborhood now. We're getting old.
Not that night.
We really
didn't pay attention to the curfew.
Yeah, we didn't shut the door either. I realized
we should have just shut the door to the funhouse.
That way it's at least muted karaoke
because of all
the things you're going to call the cops about.
Yeah, but when you put that thing over
a trumpet, you still hear it.
Yeah, exactly.
It was still probably annoying. If you're going to call the cops
over a band
comedy or karaoke,
it's going to be the karaoke.
Maybe we should have started with karaoke.
But no one sings karaoke sober, Newt.
But that was a fucking blast.
It's a good time.
It's been since Andy that we've had a show in here.
Almost three years.
And Dave Rader,
not only is he a crooner
in the very 40 cents,
he can sing,
but he also brought a cheese plate
from Mile High Munchies.
Mile High Munchies.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Barbara Brewer,
who is the owner of said store.
I went in there.
Barbara, I know you're listening to this.
When you told me the price and I handed you my credit card, I was not paying attention
because I was talking to you and I was talking to the other gentleman at the time, you might
remember, and I'm an absolute shit multitasker.
So I didn't realize what you did at the time.
When I did get the email receipt, it's then that I realized that you very much gave me
the friends.
She double charged you.
Double, triple. No.
Yeah, she jaked from
State Farm. Yeah, she jaked
me big time.
She hooked me up big time. She jaked me
off. So if you want to get jaked
off, head on down to Mile High
Munchies. Yes,
that is true, but Barbara, thank you.
I did.
If I walked out and you're like,
you didn't even say thank you or nod. Don't let the fact that I'm a moron like dissuade you. I realized it later when I when I got to the fun house. Thank you very much. You did hand her a
credit card and not a card that said, do you know who I am? So. Hey, speaking of local plugs, also, Sierra Toyota.
You know what?
I've dressed as a used car salesman for years, but this week I've actually sold two.
Getting rid of some of my lot.
I don't know if you know it out there, but for some reason the car market is spiking.
Used car market.
Used cars and new cars. Well, new cars, there's a problem with delivery right now because of some of the raw components.
They're ramping back up.
So used cars have gone up and you've taken...
Full advantage.
Who knew you were cornering the market on used cars years ago when you bought...
We thought you were buying them just because of the flashy colors.
Yeah, I didn't do,
I did a little bit,
but if I had done it
from the beginning
to just,
because they were advertising,
hey, we'll pay up to a thousand
over Kelly Blue Book value.
Please, we need used cars.
They always say that.
She's trying to sell you a used car
to get your fucking things.
Sounds like going out of business
last week
to have a liquidation sale.
No, we're serious now.
And they are.
Trust me.
They're spending the fucking money.
That's true.
And I needed to get rid of some of these stupid cars that I bought
because they're funny colors.
So, yeah, I should have gone from the beginning and just,
so you'll be buying this car on credit?
Can I get you a water or a coffee?
I'm going to take this number to my manager.
Exactly.
I don't know what he's going to say.
I like it.
And then just duck around a pole or squat behind one of the cars and go,
okay, he says that we could do,
if we can throw a few hundred dollars more at that,
then I think that would be a workable price.
I love that scarf. Where'd would be a workable price. I love that
scarf. Where'd you get it?
Flattered. Yeah, you were in there
I remember when we went to buy those
cars, we tried to do it in less than an hour.
I think the first one was two hours.
Yeah, two plus. And like we just
squeaked by, if not a
because, oh, I remember it went a little bit over because the guy's
like, sorry, by
law, you have to drive the car if just to the end of the lot and back.
Yeah.
So it went over the two hours.
But yeah, this was very fast.
They don't give a shit paying money out.
Yeah.
They're worried about making everything right when they're collecting money.
So yeah, see, Eric Morales at Sierra Toyota
and say,
show me the money.
Yell that.
Date yourself.
Just jump up and down.
I said,
when I sold this
last one this morning,
I said,
we'd love to get a picture of you
with the car for our PR department.
Because when I bought the
fucking tour van,
they're like,
they run pictures
in the showroom of people smiling
next to their new car. Everyone wants to be famous.
I was like, I'm absolutely
not doing that. I'm absolutely not
doing that. And then when they asked real nice,
I'm like, I can never.
I go, okay, but
I'll only do it with no shirt on.
And they go, all right.
Just took my shirt off like some fucking hayseed.
We got Photoshop guys here.
You can do whatever you want.
You can be naked.
It's going in our promo.
But the whole point of we calling in a van is because we don't want it advertised.
Exactly.
We're rolling around in a Toyota Sienna, but we don't say it.
We call it a van.
So I did all that epic day drinking that last Thursday.
With bingo.
Yeah, well, I started with bingo, but you don't stop.
Nobody stops drinking so it just went I've no I there's missing chunks of that day but at one point
I got a spam risk call and I'm like I'm in the mood I hope this is not a bot and it's an actual person and it was and it was some call center fiona god lover fiona
i guess she was trying to sell i have it on speakerphone so you know to amuse the kids
but she's selling us solar panels panels which i probably should have heard her out
but you don't buy it from spam risk that's a that's a number one rule
in the buying department sellers always be closing buyers don't buy from spam risk
uh but yeah if you if you're out there and you do solar fucking shoot me an email uh is that
something we should definitely do once I have a job again?
Well, you also told her that we run a solar company,
which immediately killed her erection.
That's a good one.
That was a strong move on my part.
I don't remember it, but hearing it back.
I was right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, at some point, she had a sense of humor,
and her English was good enough to get some of the jokes,
and I told her with all humility,
Hey, I'm famous!
Google me right now!
And she did.
And, you know, I probably look really famous to her
in her cubicle, in her tiki hut, wherever she...
She wouldn't tell me what country she was in.
No, she lied to us.
She told us she was in the same time zone.
And she kind of was, but it's 12 hours off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Turns out.
Because when she Googled me, she goes, oh, I'm going to WhatsApp you.
All right.
I had no recollection of that.
Woke up the next morning at whatever five in my own filth.
And I checked my messages.
And then I have a WhatsApp.
And occasionally I'll get a WhatsApp spam.
Just hello with a picture.
This was no picture, but it said, hello, is this Douglas?
And I look at the country code, Pakistan.
And I said, Fiona?
And like 12 hours later, yes, it's me.
So, and I still, still shoot a random,
how are you, she says.
I'm great.
I just had a party and sang karaoke and it was fun.
That sounds like fun.
All right, this is probably,
like I've made a few jokes where I go,
are you allowed to do this where you live?
Like, don't you just get drugged behind a horse
for even simply talking to a man?
Well, I am in the Capitol, so it is different.
We do not have many freedoms,
but we can be discreet or whatever.
All right, I'm not marrying you.
I think you marrying you.
I think you were engaged.
You gave her a WhatsApp number.
She said to... My brothers will be looking for you.
She sent a picture of her face, and I go, cover your face,
or otherwise they're going to hurl stones at you and set you on fire.
That does not happen here.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
I was going to ask if she had a sense of humor.
I'm not good at math.
If she says she's 12 time zones away, that's halfway around the world?
Yeah.
Was that a clue?
Well, no.
She lied.
No, she lied and said it's the same time there as it is here.
Yeah, yeah.
It wasn't until, only because I've been talking to these comics from India.
Oh, that's right.
You did a Zoom call with, I think, three dudes, right?
Yeah, I did a couple.
Hey, I'm sorry I can't remember your names,
but I could pronounce them if I was reading them.
But, so yeah, and of course, Pakistan and India do not get along.
I don't know if they have comedy in Pakistan.
Like a lot of towns or countries or...
They have Pakistani comics here, but...
They'll have underground probably,
which is, you know, that's like circulating pamphlets
about starting a union at Apple.
Like, you don't want to be caught reading one or handing one out.
Yeah.
Because the guys in India, I remember on the tour, Indian Rape, the tour.
Yeah.
I remember, was it Seattle?
That we had had very vocal,
very appreciative Indian dudes who were like,
dude, that's fucking hilarious.
And they were talking about comedy in India
and stuff like that.
Yeah.
It's always going to be something.
In Thailand,
three or four Indian comedians
flew from India for the show.
Oh, wow.
Might be a short jaunt.
Might be a jumper flight.
I don't know.
It's been a while
since I've had a gloob.
I'm going to piss too,
Chaley.
It's cheap to,
we got to take a break anyway.
It's cheap to fly
when you don't come
from America.
When you're flying
from a European destination
to another European destination
or somewhere else.
Oh, we'll talk about that next.
We can.
With my fucking cheap flight
after my big flight.
All right.
We got a new sponsor
coming up, so.
Yeah, Bisbee Laundry.
Yeah.
And Cafe.
Please hold.
Good goodness.

I don't know how merch works. I just know
we need more of it.
I've got a couple of things
that we've got in the works.
One thing I insist
upon, which we don't have,
is the Tracy sticker. Because we've got
the stickers
that a listener
made for us. It's
you and I and Chad.
They're cartoony kind and Chad. And those,
they're cartoony kind of stickers.
And there was a Tracy one.
And I don't know why
I didn't do that originally.
So we're going to do that.
We're going to add that
for the sticker pack.
And license plate frames.
We're going to come up with those.
I love those.
Killer Termites.
Oh, yeah.
Mississippi, Arizona.
Yeah.
I miss baseball, man,
to be honest with you.
I was just thinking about that the other day.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was one of those good things that became, oh, wait, you guys made it fun.
That we ruined?
No, no.
We made it fun, and then we were kind of under the gun to show up all the time.
Yeah.
You guys are coming down, right?
It's a big game against Casa Grande.
Well, that means nothing to us.
Shuffling down there in a bathrobe and trying to make up barbs.
It's like you having to do a podcast that you agreed to,
and you didn't remember until right before you're supposed to do the podcast.
That happened yesterday.
I know.
Thaddeus Russell, let me give a plug because i ended up being one of the my favorite podcasts i've done in a while because he completely caught me off guard i was out selling fucking used cars
blowing off shirking my responsibilities and because i wasn't you know in my head about it
like yeah it came off completely natural and not just the
same shit I say all the time.
Still a lot of that. But anyway.
I was just going to say, it's kind of like that in that
if we had to go down to a baseball
game and we knew about it
two days before, ah, fuck.
It's a thing we got to do.
Whereas if it's like, hey, they're playing.
Hey, fuck, grab the cooler. Let's go.
And that would be one of those things where it would turn into fun.
Imagine if you went to a fucking Marlins game or something
and all the players are looking up into the stands
waiting for you to show up to make it fun for them.
I still get deuce chills thinking about when we were doing
the actual play-by-play.
And then we didn't have the national anthem and then you did a rosanne bar and then right then the the guy that
was running the field just was fucking daggers at us and at the fourth inning it's like out of here
guys you're done you're done they shut us down and then we still was our pa i know and then we still
did everything we were doing over the pa
but yelling it from the stands because he didn't have the foresight to go and uh when we kick you
out we have a policy that you have to leave the premises yeah they just kicked us out of the
announcer's booth not uh acknowledging the fact that we can yell as loud as our PA, everyone can still hear us,
and you can't do shit about it.
Or that we smell like a brewery on school grounds.
The high school maintains that property.
It's an extension.
It's basically high school property.
Yeah, we should have been arrested.
Instead, we just sat two rows in front
of where we were before.
Yeah, I'd go six, eight rows up
to smoke out one of those back window things.
The back row?
Yeah, but I'm still smoking up there.
Firehazard 1918 ballpark.
I mean, that guy.
I'm sure it was out.
I think I stepped on it.
It's all wood.
That guy wanted to punch us,
but it was one of those things
where he had a title that he was
watching this thing and he's like that's it
but it's like the thing like grabbing the microphone
you're done
you're done yeah well he was yelling at us for not
having the national anthem queued up
we didn't work
they asked us to bring a PA
down and announce cause their guy didn't show up
I was literally
30 seconds away
from downloading
the best rock jams
compilation
but the wifi
I bought the whole album
because I figured we could use
Centerfield by John Fogerty
so I got the whole thing
I should have just got the national anthem
who has the fucking national anthem on their
fucking iPod
naturally that guy plays it on his shirt the national anthem and play it through. Who has the fucking national anthem on their fucking iPod naturally?
That guy does.
That guy.
Plays it on his phone.
He had it on his shirt.
The tour.
The national anthem tour.
Takes his hat off
in his own car.
That's how he goes
to work every day.
All right. I have some notes
but oh yeah where I'm going
so I've been doing
since
let's take a little context here
you really
for the listener
Doug never left during COVID
a few John what we just talked about
there was the first restaurant we all enjoyed together For the listener, Doug never left during COVID. A few, John, what we just talked about,
it was the first restaurant we all enjoyed together.
You did the 2,800 plus mile trip.
Yeah, I did a 10-day driving tour,
listening to Audible books.
I fucking, now I stopped doing that at home and now I get a good one.
It is pretty good.
That's great.
Yeah, you just heard half an hour.
Annie Jacobson
and someone had
I got involved
in a tweet with her.
Someone was tweeting
her and me at the same time. I forget the
context and I
had just seen she had an Area
51 book that
I almost downloaded when I was doing that tour because i
was on the extraterrestrial highway it goes by area 51 in nevada white sands and i'm like ah
fuck and i'm like i asked her on twitter which one i want to start with area 51 but she has the
other one about how we felched all the fucking nazi scientists, which overlaps with Area 51, as we've been listening.
And so the Area 51 book by Annie Jacobson on Chapter 3, it's covered so much.
Usually, and I gave Thaddeus some shit.
Thaddeus Russell, whose podcast I just did, he wrote The Renegades' History of America, which I read 10 years ago.
I just did. He wrote The Renegades History of America, which I read 10
years ago.
And I guess I said on the podcast
that there was
way too much facts in it for me.
I don't remember
what I said. He said
it was 10 years ago. Have we been doing
a podcast for 10 years?
I think we're entering our
eighth year right now.
Anyway, she's the opposite.
She gives you so much information so quickly that you can't really space out.
I only have it at plus 110 speed because I'm missing stuff.
She tells you once.
Got it?
Bikini Atoll.
Operation Cross... Not Crosswords. Crosswords. Crosswind? Anyway. she tells you once got it bikini atoll operation cross not cross words cross words uh crosswind
anyway whatever it was i'm like all right it's fucking fascinating and uh yeah it makes me want
to just keep driving uh crosswords girlfriend or covid so yeah
I haven't been on a plane
and I do
which I've always done
is
fantasy travel
but you did that trip
for 2,800 plus miles
yeah
like just
like rolling around
going and checking out
you did the clown motel
and that was a fucking hilarious podcast
and you did that thing
that was the first time
you've really gone out
and ventured
in a year
it was a crazy flight
on four wheels
but for the first time
since you
started comedy
it was
it's the longest time
you've been spent
in your same bed
and it's the longest time
you haven't been out
on the road
yeah
that's huge.
Yeah.
And the not flying thing
where now...
So I wasn't expecting
to fly anywhere,
but just...
It's the same way
anyone else searches eBay
or, you know,
just fucking throw them
over the fence.
Tracy, there's a paring knife.
We need a kitty trebuchet so we can launch him at neighbors.
Bye-bye.
See you.
You're out.
You're out.
Don't come back.
She cut a thick of fur off of Meatwig.
Meatwig is a very hairy cat that in the dry months now,
which we're in the driest month,
he fucking, the cat lays in filth and burrs,
and he develops like an armadillo's siding of dreadlock.
He is a feline Stanhope.
You could...
With hair.
You could hit him in the side
with one of those,
what do you call those?
The riot guns
that shoot the beanbag.
And it wouldn't wake that cat up.
Dog the bounty hunter.
Yeah, the beanbag guns.
Riot guns.
Salt gun.
Non-lethal.
It shoots a fucking beanbag.
I remember the Boston Pigs fucking killed a girl.
Is that a team?
Boston?
No, no.
There's cops.
They're pigs when they kill a girl for celebrating a Red Sox victory with a beanbag gun to the eye.
I remember writing an open letter to them.
Hey, Boston Police.
I'm a bigger Red Sox fan as anyone,
but you know what's really hurting the sport
when you kill a girl in the head with a beanbag gun?
It was very funny.
I don't remember.
It was 25 years ago.
Anyway, so I'm fantasy delta surfing,
like where I could go to,
and all these places that I've
always thought about going to, but it doesn't work out.
Like Gibraltar is where I looked that up and Delta doesn't go there.
And I've always wanted to go there because it's a weird sounding place.
You can see Africa from there.
Rock of Gibraltar?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So where is it? It's a territory on the bottom, the peninsula of Spain.
It's the entire, it's not a country, but territory is 2.6 square miles.
The entire thing.
But it's a British territory.
So it's Britain's Guam.
Yeah. Which means they speak English.
When I think about going somewhere, that's why I always wanted to go to Guam.
Because it is a British, I mean a U.S. territory.
So I know they speak English.
And it's a tiny island.
And it's fucking, there's no glut of travel to Guam.
It just takes you 46 hours to get there.
And this was the same. We couldn't get there on
Delta, which is a big thing.
How far could you get on Delta?
Well, I could go to London. I figured
out, if I go to London,
I get a fucking steal
for first class to London.
And there's only two flights a day
from Heathrow to
Gibraltar. And you miss them. That's why it's a day from Heathrow to Gibraltar.
And you miss them.
That's why it's a 38-hour flight.
Because all the flights that Delta brings in.
They don't connect.
It's after the two flights.
But my favorite hotel in the world is the Yotel at Heathrow.
It's like Woody Allen's sleeper.
I'm sure if you listen to the podcast, I talk about it.
We just realized what a great place to trip that would be
it's like a train car but it's all
perfectly white Ikea
but as small as a train car
and you sleep in this kind of like
bunk with a TV at your feet
coffin with a TV
and it's got a little toilet shower
like a beautiful Icelandic prison.
And that's where me and Olivia Grace,
when we stayed there,
when we went over to pitch a show
in London a couple years ago,
I'm like, no, we're staying here the last night.
We're going to get there in the afternoon.
We're staying.
We get an early morning flight.
We went bar hopping on the trams
to every terminal at Heathrow. We hit every bar on the trams to every terminal at Heathrow.
We hit every bar
on the outside of security
in every terminal.
We were tweeting it.
We're doing a Heathrow pub crawl.
Is Heathrow 24 hours?
We weren't.
I doubt it.
I'm just saying
as far as bars go,
no.
But we started in the afternoon.
We knew we had to get to sleep early.
Yeah.
The Heathrow Airport Twitter account was tweeting back at us.
Hope you're having fun.
Don't get too drunk now.
We're following you.
It was like a celebrity tweet.
Like, holy shit, the airport's tweeting back at us.
And we ran into Glenn Wohl on that trip with his fucking wife and kids.
The tweet's coming from inside the airport. airport's tweeting back at us that we ran into glenn wool on that trip with his tweets coming
from inside the airport yeah or at some bar and fucking glenn wool is like leaving moving from
london to back to vancouver or whatever and he showed up all bedraggled after fucking running
a u-haul all over london to get his shit out of there and he came in with his kid. I didn't even mind his kid being there.
Some screaming baby. It wasn't
screaming. I'd remember. Point being,
when I realized
I can fly into London,
stay overnight coming in
and out of catching the
British Airways flight to
Gibraltar, and that flight
round trip, 300 bucks.
Yeah. It's more expensive to stay at the hotel for two nights than that flight round trip, 300 bucks. Yeah.
It's more expensive to stay at the hotel for two nights than a fly round trip.
Flights over there, I mean, ask Joby.
Flights from London to Portugal, I think, you could get them for like $49 round trip.
Yeah.
I knew a guy when I was working at Real Networks in Seattle.
He was from Timor.
You know where that's at?
Only because of Noam Chomsky?
Yeah.
It was one of these wars that you don't know about,
atrocities.
He was Timor. He would catch a flight to some other country,
a bigger country, like a large metropolis.
And then he would make the flights to Timor from there.
Because if you made the entire flight from America, you'd get raped the whole way.
But as soon as you landed somewhere else, third world or not quite so second world, you could get a cheaper flight.
And I forgot about that until you told me what was going on.
I'm sorry.
I'm just laughing at myself for wincing when you said raped.
You can't say it like that.
Should I bleep it?
No.
Okay.
No.
Yeah.
It's an analogy.
You know what?
As soon as every fucking comic stops saying oh that's crazy that's insane
that's fucking nuts yeah yeah when you stop fucking using all those mentally ill fucking
abusive terms but yeah then i'll then i'll still keep saying whatever i was saying i stopped myself
with saying rape earlier when you were talking about the three Indian guys. Indian gang rape? Yeah.
No, the guys.
I go, oh, those comics?
Rape Team India?
Because your joke is about...
I stopped myself from saying it.
I had the same thing
when we just broke to piss moment.
Because I felt that
just WhatsAppping with Fiona where i'm making jokes about pakistan
won't you get fucking burned alive but i realized like it's am i being racist or but no that's the
they treat women very poorly there i think like yeah i'm right she like, no, I'm in the capital.
Like, that happens.
Oh, you have to be out of the city limits.
Oh, country bumpkins.
Yeah, they don't drag you behind a horse in town.
We have cabs now.
We've got those three-wheeled pedi vehicles.
Yeah, see, I was going to say rickshaw,
and I thought that was probably not right.
Yeah, it's wrong country.
You'll always get shit. people can't stop themselves uh so yeah gibraltar i i've got like a week there
so you've you've thought about going to gibraltar in the past or this just came up yeah i didn't
realize i had a bucket list i thought i'd done everything go, well, I never did do Gibraltar, and I get a fucking steal on it.
And I
looked up all the
best... If anyone knows Gibraltar...
No, no, shut up.
You. I know
your ears just perked up because your
cousin went once. If anyone
lives in Gibraltar,
fucking hoon me an email
or a tweet.
I looked up all the best bars
in Gibraltar and there's
a bunch of lists
and a lot of them have completely different
bars and I'm like, how many bars can I
hit in 2.6
square miles
in six days?
Well, it's a British protectorate.
There's a lot of pubs.
Protectorate.
God damn it.
He has such a good vocabulary.
That reminds me of when I went to the Cayman Islands.
They also have some British connection there.
And what's that?
Overlords.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Raider, you're back on.
Guam, Tahiti uh gibraltar three places i haven't
been go ahead uh because of the british connection uh they do a pirates week there which is stay away
from it but uh great fucking pubs really good restaurants and a lot a lot of people there
everyone speaks english english like there's a lot of people there. Everyone speaks English English.
There's a lot of British people coming over there to work on the dive boats and stuff,
which was great.
And I've never been back, but I enjoyed it as a place I never would have thought of going
until I started diving.
And Guam, that is a huge destination for Japanese tourists. Because they can go there and shoot guns.
And strip clubs.
Titty bars.
Yeah, titty bars are not my thing.
No, the Japanese...
Nor would a British titty bar.
Even if it's just a territory.
But Guam's ours, I'm saying.
Yeah, I know.
I'm talking about Gibraltar
yeah
I don't think
there's a titty bar
well
you might get an email
I don't know
nobody seems to go there
even the British
seem to hate it
I don't know
I've read weird things
it's a fucking weird
place to go
and I'm very excited
and it's also
have you done the search
on Gibraltar monkeys yet
okay so you're not scared yeah no i know everything i i i uh tax haven gibraltar crime
is 32 000 people there it's smaller than sierra vista where we just had sushi it's fucking but
they speak english and it's in a weird place
and you can literally see Africa
right across the Strait of Gibraltar,
which I won't go see.
Oh, just look over there.
That's Africa.
No, I haven't.
I'm facing the other way on my bar stool.
I refuse.
Maybe later.
Maybe later, if I'm really curious,
I will turn around.
But right now,
I'm going to sit here
and stare at my book.
And I'm excited
to be able to read again
if I can still do it.
But then,
what happened was,
all right,
I get this all mapped out.
Then I'm back
to the other night with Tracy
on the patio doing more crazy flight searches well the the great thing is I found a great
deal for Gibraltar but that's not till July and it's May so I'm excited I was already starting to
pack for seven weeks seriously you were getting your bag ready? Oh yeah. You remember
Stanhope State University?
Yeah.
They
sent me all this shit and they have
people send Stanhope State
University koozies and take
pictures of them from all around the world
and I'm like, where's my koozie?
Tracy has it. Tracy says she doesn't have
it. Tracy. I had it. Do says she doesn't have it. Tracy.
I had it.
Do you remember that day?
Yes.
Yeah.
I was right.
And you were right.
Because we're men.
It's true.
Well, I mean, that we're right.
Do you want to take a break?
No, no, no, no.
Bisbee Laundry and Cafe. If you're
new to town, you moved in, you don't want to just
keep fucking bothering your neighbor
to do laundry. Bisbee
Laundry. Because sometimes your
neighbor's hungover and doesn't want to fucking see
anyone walking
through his yard with a fucking Ikea bag
full of filthy fucking laundry.
Yeah, sometimes I like to
lock my door.
Bisbee
Laundry and Cafe. It routes well
with Safeway. Make a day
of it. It's got a cafe.
You can check your tweets.
Gotta call the salad.
TumbleD dry cycle goes.
Yeah.
I'm sure they had some finger foods.
And it hits Safeway on the way back.
So you don't have to take a left.
It tastes like bleach, but you're fine.
You can do a post office, laundry, Safeway, double back, switch the laundry.
You can stop at Tin Town on a Wednesday and get free lunch.
Stand in line for the, yeah.
Bisbee Laundry.
Hang on.
Do you want to take a break?
No, I don't want to take a break.
I was going to tell him how to text.
Why don't we do that?
Why don't we have a Stanhope,
DougStanhope.com slash koozie page
where people send in pictures with their koozies.
Can we steal that from them?
Yeah, we can steal that.
Yeah, let's steal that.
Let's tell them KillerTermites.com if we want to do this.
What do you... Is, we can steal that. Yeah, let's steal that. We still have killatermites.com if we wanted to use it. What do you...
Is her mic on?
Sorry.
That's too much work.
Tracy, we want to drive traffic to Mr. Stanhope's site.
That's what we're trying to do.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Yeah, with those disease t-shirts.
I think I'm making my own drinks for the rest.
I was talking to Dave about those today.
Yeah, they've been talked about a lot for years.
So, anyway.
Tracy's my favorite human being on the entire planet.
I'm going to get your fucking shirts done.
Yeah, you should never have gotten involved in that project, Tracy.
I don't care.
I don't mind.
Just one.
Just one for me.
Just one for me.
And then I'll post pictures.
Oh, that's easy.
Give him that ratty one you wear, Chase.
No, the ones that I have.
I know.
2004 artwork.
Let's stay focused.
Give me a double focus.
Can I get a Negroni?
Do you have a Negroni?
No, no.
I'll have another beer. me a double focus. Can I get a Negroni? Do you have an Negroni right now? No, no, I'm just kidding.
I'll have another
beer.
I'll do a whiskey
sour if we still
have egg whites.
Whiskey sour?
Whiskey sour?
I'm peeing by the
window so I can
hear you.
Yeah, that's
alright.
So I'm back on
the patio with
Tracy, watching
the hockey, and
I'm doing my
crazy searches again because Julyuly is not soon enough
now i'm fucking amped up and tickled in the prostate to go out and fucking travel so i find
i don't know how it came up but it's a it's a bar that has to be one of the best day drinking bars in America.
If you read the book that I wrote about the day drinking, I don't know which one it is.
Read them all and tell me.
It has all the things that a day drinking bar requires.
meaning it's in a motel or hotel that has a restaurant and a bar attached this has if you've listened to the last special the exact kind of motor in i'm not telling you where it is no
it's it's on the uh the the ones i mentioned were Coast. This is west of the Mississippi.
It's in our time zone six months out of the year because Arizona doesn't change our clocks.
But it has a motor lodge attached to a bar.
And we will live Zoom podcast from there.
I'm only going, I bought it, I got it on Miles,
which I never use my Miles,
because you don't get Miles by spending Miles.
You use Miles to get Junior Stopka on the road.
Junior Stopka is going to be on the first tour
that starts August 10th through
Denver.
So he'll be on that
10-day leg. Dates are up on
DougStanhope.com because I just got
more dates today. We're still adding dates
starting August 10th
up to when you're going to make
updates for Denver, San Francisco,
and all that stuff. Boston, yeah.
We added a show in Boston.
Yeah, so we're still figuring out how we're going to work this,
but Junior's never done that Mountain State tour,
the Mountain Time Zone tour.
And I said I'd never book him in the summer because of his aversion to deodorant.
And yeah, he can smell bad in the hot sun.
But you know what?
I don't really care.
I mean, I just showered last night for company Christmas party today.
And I remember Saturday night, I suited up for one of the few times during COVID.
I actually put on a suit for that show,
and I had to peel off two-day-old socks,
and they stuck.
I'm short, but I'm still far away from my feet.
But just peeling my socks off, I'm like,
oh, my God, this is terrible.
That was Saturday.
I still didn't shower till Wednesday night.
So I'm going.
I used miles.
And the motor lodge was only like 87 bucks.
A hundred and ninety one dollars plus bar tab in a very.
It's a town we don't even play in a state we rarely go to only for fun i'll just say
that uh i've the last time i was there i was doing a triple gig in like 1992 and a girl uh asked if
she could blow me on my way out after the show and i said yes and she blew me in my car for a couple of seconds before
she started to vomit and I
had to move her
head outward through the driver's
door and then she puked
while the doorman came over to
fortunately she was laying on top
of my cock that would have been out
she's laying across from the passenger
wait you stopped the blowjob? she did to vomit
but you didn't make her finish?
No.
You know what was weird, Chaley?
And even at a young age, it turned me off.
Yeah.
It is one of those things.
You don't know what your limit is until you're faced with it.
But I always maintain there's no stopping.
Lewis Johnson from Denver is a comedian
that had a bit about
how once men start fucking,
you're going to keep fucking.
I'm doing a disservice,
but it's 30 years ago.
He goes,
she can fall off the bed,
bust your eye open.
Baby, that looks really bad.
You're going to need stitches as soon as i come
he was also the guy that had the bit that i'll never forget about
man i've been married so long i don't know what i'd say to a girl into a bar
i don't i don't know what i'd say to a girl in a bar. I think I'd just walk up and say,
I'm going to the store.
You want me to get you anything?
No?
Then don't be bitching when I get back.
He's the guy that Hedberg and I were opening for.
Hedberg was the opening act.
I was the middle.
And Louis Johnson was the headliner.
They had some goofy promo for him that we did acid.
Me and Hedberg did acid back at the Hampton Inn by the Mall of America.
We spent seemingly acid hours goofing on Louis Johnson's promo, whatever it was.
I don't know.
But the memory of the feeling is still there.
I don't know what we were saying, but I know.
Was it a TV promo?
Or like an advertisement?
No, no.
Like whatever Knuckleheads was.
Knuckleheads was the name of the club.
And Louis Johnson and whatever his bio was.
Whatever it was. We were just goofing on this stupid
sounding like everyone's bio is oh he takes crazy takes on and then we watched some like uh kkk
documentary on hbo that was on we're up all night and goofing on that like Like, whatever it was, the KKK kept getting raided
by the feds or whatever,
and we're, like, goofing on it.
I don't know how they keep finding us.
Maybe it's the cameraman.
Whatever.
We're just laughing our balls off
at everything until the sun came up,
and we're waiting for the Hampton Inn
lobby breakfast,
but we're still fucking bug-eyed,
charcoal-pupiled, fucking tripping, going,
oh, we can't go into the lobby for breakfast, they'll know.
And we went in like serpentine.
Stealth.
Yeah, like cat burglars.
Breakfast ninjas.
Yeah, trying to get some fucking raisin bran and a fucking lobby waffle.
a fucking raisin bran and a fucking lobby waffle.
Yeah, that's how Hedberg and I became close friends.
And it only takes one night like that where you go, all right.
You had a show that night too?
Yeah, later.
Well, I was young.
You could rebound. I love that.
Yeah, we were just talking about that today.
Morning drinking.
Morning drinking is exceptional
if you're a kid that can fucking
take a nap.
I hate people who can nap.
I'm going to sleep for
three hours and fucking rebound
because I've been drinking all morning.
Now, Thursday, I was
a fucking waste product
up until I had to write jokes
for Saturday.
Oh, you napped. You napped right a fucking waste product up until I had to write jokes for Saturday. Yeah.
Oh, you napped.
You napped right... On the floor right behind where you're sitting.
Right below your ass right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I just went out and pissed in your yard
and I thought...
Our yard.
What a glorious feeling
to be this drunk
and the sun warming my back.
It feels
good. I like it.
Oh, you piss east?
Well, if I have to.
I'm pissing towards someone.
I don't know where Mecca is.
As long as I'm with Fiona,
I'm going to have to learn where Mecca is.
I've got to piss away from it.
I don't want to make anyone angry.
Well, we're halfway away from her, so you could go either way.
It's equidistant.
I could go east. I could go west.
It was all up to me to decide.
A little Bob Seger for your next
little teaser for our next karaoke
night.
All right. The kids
are doing shots. I think we're going to wrap
up. I got an email.
Oh, yeah?
Hold on, I got to do this shot real quick.
Cheers.
If you can figure out what that best fucking drinking bar
in the western states is.
People have been to Wyoming.
They know what you're talking about.
Oh, that was a misdirection.
All right.
So last podcast mislabeled as 456 because it's really what?
Right.
446.
446.
That's fucked up.
I got to change that still.
We were talking.
It was on the heels of issues with Andy, where Andy, he cut us off early.
So then I'm like, oh, fuck, Chad, you want to do a podcast with Stan Hope?
And I immediately texted you.
I texted Tracy, hey, does Doug want to do a podcast?
And we fucking ran up here.
I had nothing set up because we were gone on vacation.
And I come back, and that was the podcast where I don't even remember what he's referencing in this email.
We were talking about hernias.
All right.
And getting hernia checks when you're so young before you even lifted something 25 pounds.
You were just getting your tongue pierced barely.
And they want to fondle your balls.
You wanted the tongue piercing
to match the earrings that you had when you were seven so yeah so it was really weird and i got
this email from uh ah i'll say that uh you ever heard no names you asked same person you asked for anyone
who had a hernia
before nine
to send a note
we put a age limit
on who could
that's what I'm saying
it's like
I don't remember saying that
I hope this doesn't go bad
they tell me
I had a hernia
at one year old
who's pushing who
oh this is a guy
with a giant ball sack.
I don't know.
I haven't read the whole thing yet.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I didn't read this.
I wanted to react naturally.
Go ahead.
They tell me, like you can't say his parents told him,
one year old, I also have an eight-inch scar like Chad,
but now that I think of it, how did that get me to turn my head
and cough for the initial check at one year old yeah right yeah i get i have attached a photo as
proof oh it's just give it to you give it raider hasn't really said anything and he can read but
he does things for a living so yes make all is the second paragraph. Child porn? Alright.
It is weird. The photo is nothing.
It just looks like a
scar, like a
shot or something. Luckily it's not on here,
because I'd puke.
Also, during one portion of this podcast,
I laughed so hard that I was literally
choking and
giggling myself silly. Good read.
I cannot remember the last time I laughed that hard.
You might appreciate this attached clip from my living room.
Then again, you probably hear people laugh hysterically all the time.
Chad was getting most of these laughs,
but when Doug told the tale about when Bubba Chain, quote unquote,
drew mud, I totally lost it.
Golden spicy brown musky.
Yeah, that's it.
I had no idea until you just said that.
Spit shit like a penguin shit.
Far and away.
Thanks, Raider.
Chocking.
You don't need a second.
All right.
Someone else sent me an email about how they had a hernia when they were a kid.
And they were just discovering like,
oh, I have huge balls
and it was his fucking intestines
dripping into his balls.
But they were young enough
that he thought having big balls
was a thing that was actually
literally a good thing.
And then he finally,
when they were the size
of fucking grapefruits,
showed his friends and his dad.
And he's like, no.
Oh, that's what he said.
God damn it.
I'm fucking remembering.
I'm not even reading this.
It's on the podcast.
That's good.
When he showed his dad, he goes, if that's not a hernia, I'll eat those.
And he took them literally and fled and spent the night at his friend's house my dad's
gonna eat my balls yeah uh and then he said but now i'm like 44 or something so you can imagine
how my balls look at this age yeah don't worry listen nobody loves you because your balls are taut.
It's all good.
Don't ever expect us to remember anything that we said on this podcast
because this podcast is only an
extension of things that we were
saying when we weren't recording
and you don't remember everything you said
yesterday, but we appreciate you
being part of our group
and listening in for as much as we can continue to stomach each other.
It's a company Christmas party.
Christmas in July, in late May.
That means New Year's is just around the corner.
Take us out of here, bingo.
