You're listening to the Schlotzky's for lunch, and I think it was Raider.
He goes, you realize you say the Schlotzky's now like it's a friendly neighbor?
Stop by the house.
The Schlotzky's.
Stop by the Schlotzky's.
Yeah, it was a fucking blast.
Canada was great.
I actually made it a mental thing where I go, try to have fun. Which is weird when you have to say that and focus on really try to have fun.
And we did some things.
Not a lot of things.
Did enough.
Yeah.
We stayed in a lot of airport hotels. So we walked around a lot of things. Good enough. Yeah. We've stayed in a lot of airport hotels, so we walked around a lot of airports.
Went to a lot of airport lounges.
That was something.
I mean, it's six of one, half done is the other.
Do you go on the road and spend less time in airports, but then spend more time driving?
Especially Canada, where it's hours
between cities?
Or do you hang out
at the airport?
I mean, I love the airport hotels.
They're just way more expensive.
Some of the markets.
And they're usually further away
than from everything.
It's usually at the outskirts.
Especially in Canada. It's at the outskirts, especially in Canada.
It's at the outskirts of the town.
But yeah,
Vancouver,
we just,
we get to the gig
I think six hours early
because there was sushi
next to it.
That killed
25 minutes.
And then we just started walking. We walked
like four miles. We walked like
two and a half hours. Commercial Avenue.
Yeah. Until it ran out
and then we walked back and
hit a bunch of vintage shops.
Did you get anything?
Did you find anything of vintage?
No. There's a lot of places where we found
shit that... Like there was one place that was a bar restaurant that was going out of business,
where if I was driving, we would have filled the car up with some shit.
Well, it was interesting because I'm like, so what business?
Because you couldn't really tell because there's personal things too, like jeans.
Do you have lost and found with jeans at a restaurant?
So I go, what is it? Well, you know, a know a little this and it was like the tail end of his thing he had a restaurant there
hence all the cool shit that we would have taken for the the fun house and they were just he's i'm
out i'm done i'm done doing this everything so so he basically had his old restaurant where you
could see where all the where the cooking line line was. All that stuff's gone.
All the stainless steel.
I was the first to go.
So then,
he just put,
like,
personal items too.
And I go,
what's next?
He goes,
vacation.
So he's just fucking
off.
He's done.
Yeah.
But,
I mean,
there was,
I mean,
we could have.
There was one antique shop
with the globes.
Yeah,
the globes.
You found globes,
finally,
and you didn't bring them home.
You were fine.
On what?
I know, I know.
Exactly.
Wearing the cool globes.
Okay.
But like a really cool stand-up ashtray, but they were like $700 for, I don't know about the ashtray.
Yeah.
There's a few things.
You want $700?
It looked like you could set a scene on Mad Men with
the stuff in the back there.
The funky oranges and brown
vases and stuff
like that. It was really cool.
But, I mean, priced
way out and, you know,
whatever. He's not going out of business.
There have to be some fucking vintage
places that we don't know
about in Tucson.
Because, I mean, Tucson Thriftift every time we've gone in there since after pandemic they just have fucking
dick their their stores are spent and the only other one is how sweet it was which is tiny
yeah but there's no like vintage furniture place furniture place. I mean, there might be.
I don't know that I've ever
really looked it up.
You might have to change.
What?
Are you in the market
for vintage furniture?
Well,
it's the only place
I could actually buy it.
I mean,
remember Cleveland?
We went to that place.
Oh, yeah.
They had that fucking couch
and I was joking on Twitter
but kind of trolling
for anyone who'd drive
that fucking couch
out here.
All the great places we find.
Tucson and Phoenix would be the only place we could find.
Sweet Lorraine's, we just hit up that place.
I should probably bleep that so no one goes there.
Take that couch.
Those guys have a gold mine.
That place is great.
Yeah.
But the thing is with the theater show
we were there
six hours early
because no one
was answering
the phone
or the text messages
for me
going like
hey I want to
advance the show
you know the details
you got our writer
what time can we get there
when's the sound
going to be there
I don't know
if you remember
Simon King
he's a comic
friend of ours in Vancouver.
And we were going to podcast during the day if we could get into the venue.
But you had nothing.
No, it was a movie theater during the day.
They're open for business at 1.30.
I saw that the box office was open.
So I'm like, Doug, fuck it.
Let's just go.
And then we'll figure something out
because the box office will be open and we can talk our way in
if no one's there, right?
Simon, I apologize about that
lack of a podcast.
We could have tried to do it
in the green room, but that was a fucking
hallway. There was nothing there.
For real. There was Bollywood
fucking features blasting over
it anyway, so audio would
have been fucked anyway how did you finally get in touch with them by going down there we went
there and uh the guy that was running the front door was like oh yeah you guys can go in we're
open though and we can walk through there and they're like it's like i'd say two-thirds full
really i don't know about the balcony but of people watching a Bollywood movie.
That's kind of hilarious.
I would have sat down and watched the movie.
I would have.
This thing turned off.
Oh, sorry.
Am I talking too loud?
No, no.
Yeah, you talked too loud.
You broke the microphone.
I'll just put it to the side.
Go ahead.
Keep going.
Wrong hole.
So we had time to kill.
Okay.
So what did you do then? You didn't podcast. No, we to kill. Okay. So what did you do then?
You didn't podcast.
No, we just walked.
Okay.
To the point where my fucking hips were fused.
I did hear that.
You did call me about that at one point.
Yeah.
Well, fortunately, we were leaving the next day, so I was pickled and hammered on the
plane so I didn't feel anything.
He was a pistol coming home.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, my God.
You don't remember?
Do tell.
No.
Okay, so we get on the plane in, where were we?
Seattle.
Yeah, we came from Vancouver.
Would you go through customs there?
Okay, let's start from the beginning.
He gets a fucking flight for 6 a.m.,
which is basically a commuter flight for us
because we're just going south.
So it's like...
Yeah, I know.
But going from Vancouver to Seattle to Tucson
is like going from Seattle to Tucson, really.
So he's got us a fucking flight at 6 a.m., which means we've got to get up at 4 a.m.
To get to the commuter.
To walk over there.
Okay.
But it's not like we're not going across three time zones to get home.
We're basically just taking a two and a half hour, three hour flight, right?
So we've got to get there early, and then he's got his sneaky bottles in the thing.
I know.
And then by the time we get to Seattle, he's being a little difficult.
He's saying things loud, saying things like he knows other people are going to hear.
What, on a Vancouver plane?
No.
When we got in Seattle.
Oh.
In Seattle. So when we got there
basically
we were just going from one lounge to
another. And the first one
was easy. That's what I
want to say. We did leave
unnecessarily early. There's probably
about seven more flights that day that
would have taken us to Tucson.
We didn't have to get up at 4 a.m.
It was the one that we could use
that buddy pass with.
Yes.
It's the buddy pass.
I didn't do that
for any other reason.
You can never use those fucking
That is true. It's like saving
his plastic Ziploc bag.
He's saving a buck. Buddy pass.
Come on. The buddy passes are hard to use
they even tell you it's like yeah no one ever really gets to use these it's like they're
pointless so but they're they're so so very good then then that makes sense why would we do that
i just joined uh two i have i got on reddit now now that i get time off coming up, there's a Facebook group for just Delta Flyers.
Skylife, Sky Mile Life, or Sky Club Life, I don't know.
And then one for Reddit.
So I think these are people that are fanatical like I am about Delta specifically.
I think I could trade some of my vintage Delta gear.
You want a Delta Barbie doll
For a Delta Barbie doll
Or something wilder than that
How do you use these fucking
Companions certificates
In global
Whatever
Because Delta can't tell you
They can't seem to tell you
No you just try
That's all I know how to do is call Delta and go, hey, I'm trying to use this.
Will it work on this flight?
And one guy said, you know what, I'm just going to sit here and just randomly pick flights until your shift is up.
He goes, I'm only required to check three flights.
Oh, wow.
Boy, the new normal.
Yeah, the thing is there's websites that tell you a lot of stuff. Like, you know, obviously the points guy is the new normal. Yeah, the thing is, there's websites that tell you a lot of stuff.
Like, obviously, the Points guy is the biggest one.
And then there's, I want to say, Rene Fabergé.
That's Brendan Walsh's character.
His name is Rene, I forget.
But they're so knowledgeable that they're using all this nomenclature where you have no fucking idea.
On the Reddit.
If it's a J-Fair and you're flying
on an up-market, down-draft,
you're like, I don't fucking know.
You've met your match, baby.
So hopefully people that speak
the language can
integrate myself.
They have a huge thing now, and it pisses me off with fucking, you know, my airport pub crawls.
Hashtag airport pub crawl.
I've been doing those at least since 2014.
I found tweets with that hashtag I put out.
And I'm like, I'm on one of these groups and they're talking about Sky Mile, Sky Club pub crawl in Atlanta.
There's, I think, nine sky clubs.
In Atlanta?
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a couple of terminals have.
Wait, just Delta?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
Because there's, you know, A, B, C, D, E, and T terminals.
And a lot of those have...
Well, we were somewhere where...
I think it was Atlanta.
Yeah, because we were flying out to Montreal.
And there were...
We hit three in the course of catching our flight.
We hit one because you had to use the pisser.
Then we hit another one because it was towards our gate.
And then we hit another one because the other one was busier
and we thought there'd be better food at another one.
So they've got these little like pockets where they're going.
And we could shoehorn one in there and take off the pressure.
Of another one.
Yeah, so they're definitely doing that.
So yeah, now that's a big thing.
I'm like, God damn, that's kind of my thing.
But not in...
COVID made that. Well, this obviously is not a sanctioned big thing. I'm like, God damn, that's kind of my thing. But not in... COVID made that.
Well, this obviously is not
a sanctioned Delta thing.
Because the thing is,
they have rules. You have to have one
drink in every Sky Club.
So nine drinks,
and people are doing it.
You have three hours...
Before they get on a plane, nine drinks, that's
more than you. Yeah.
Yeah. That'd be tough. But there's also,
I got to think today, they're selling
they were selling
luggage tags with the Delta
logo.
That's not it. This is the new one.
That's what the crawl says.
But this is the new one.
They were selling them with Delta's
logo and shit on them.
Like it's an official thing.
Using the same font as the Million Miler.
That didn't fly.
Yeah, they get a cease and desist.
So you can even buy the tag that has the cease and desist on it.
But this one is just a U.S. airport sky pub crawl.
Nice Delta on the back.
That's all the Delta.
You try to hit all those
cities in a year
shut up wig
you can throw them up here I don't care
so what happened
was after Seattle
okay so
I have two drinks
at the Sky Lounge at the Plaza Premium.
They don't have a Delta at that terminal in Vancouver.
And I didn't serve booze until 9 a.m., so when I got there at 5 a.m., I had to rely on my own stores.
In your sleeve.
Yeah, and a couple of drinks, and then we get on the plane and Chaley orders for me.
Okay, see, I've got equipment here.
And his butthole is right on the speaker.
That's the microphone.
On the microphone.
So Chaley's good about ordering me a drink that he's not going to drink. So I had a double on the flight, the 20-minute fucking flight from Vancouver to Seattle.
Oh, okay.
And then we hit the Sky Club.
There's a really nice Sky Club that we were at when we went up to see your mother.
Oh, yeah.
That's the 8-gate one.
Two-story one.
That's really nice.
Mm-hmm.
And got that fucking front table with those beautiful red chairs oh yes yes
that's incredible then what happened then we get on okay come on shaylee okay first off
we were both a little miffed because we gave ourselves enough time to get
to what we thought was our gate which would be reasonable. Turns out it's that last gate on the A concourse,
which is further than either of us realized
how far it was down.
So it was fucked up.
And then we ended up having to wait like 20 minutes.
So he's doing that thing where he's making comments
about people that he's standing right next to.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, it makes you and I very comfortable. I know those comments. So he's doing that, and right next to you. Oh, I know. It makes you and I very comfortable.
I know those comments.
And they're big guys.
And you're the muscle.
I know how that feels.
I'm so good at knowing when people aren't listening.
I just throw
really loud curveballs
all the time. It's a skill.
And then we get on...
Hang on. Who are the guys?
Tell me the story.
The guy with the bald guy, he looked like the teacher in Back to the Future.
Hey, McFly, the bald guy.
I've never seen him.
Yeah.
He had headphones on and you were saying things.
Wait, is this in the Sky Club?
No, this was waiting to get on our plane.
And he was first class too.
He had the really cool looking shoes.
I thought, I didn't think he had that.
The first plane.
Second plane.
You were drunk during the second flight, not the first flight.
So anyway, so he's making comments.
So I'm like, oh fuck.
Here we go.
And then we get on the plane and he he's he's
kind of wavering he gets a drink right and he's kind of wavering and he's sitting he's sitting
and he's he's holding oh no like this has the plane taken off no oh no and he's fast asleep
like with his mask on and the the drink is like sideways like that yes so i i go to do this
like to slowly do that hey hey oh but then he thinks you're taking his drink and he go he wakes
up and he goes are we in tucson and i go we not even close we haven't left. And I go, how good do you think Delta Ice is?
You still have full ice in your drink.
That's brilliant, Shaylee.
So then he goes to sleep.
He goes back to sleep. And then at some point we were on our ascent.
And I look at him.
He wakes up.
And he starts fucking.
I gotta have you
such a good idea
Jesus
there we go, perfect
he wakes
up
and he starts to dial
his phone
that was right in my face
oh my god
I thought you were just...
No.
When Shelly said, oh, my God, that was...
I think I scared her.
Wait, but you have to go back to where you were.
That's dumb.
But where were you at?
Because he...
We were climbing to our cruising altitude
about 27,000 feet.
And he pulls out his phone and starts calling you.
In fact, it said –
Oh, that would strike that lady.
It said the flight attendant who noticed that you were making a phone call and she bent down and goes, hey, you can't make a phone call when we're flying.
And he's like, I'm not.
This is audible.
And it clearly says bingo and it started with one, two, I'm not. This is audible. And it clearly says bingo
and it's starting to go
one, two, three, four.
It's just not connecting.
And then he quickly is like
trying to make it
not obvious
that he's searching up audible.
Charlotte's web.
So he brings up audible
and he's like,
yeah, I'm just trying to...
She's like,
oh, okay.
I don't think she bought it.
No.
But clearly he wasn't calling anymore.
And then he gets mad at me for calling him out.
It's like, no, that, that is not, that's not part of the code.
Right.
If you're, if you're doing something you should not be doing.
Right.
I'm not going to fucking back you up.
Right.
Especially when she's, you know, she's a real nice lady.
I don't know how I was able
to figure
I've never been able
to figure out
how to get
like online
or anything
on fucking flights
and I don't know
how I was possibly
calling someone successfully
I do remember that
it was
it said bingo
and it had the thing
in the middle
where you push
to hang up
that's weird
was it
maybe it was whatsapp but I still don't know.
Oh, you might have.
Well, it didn't go through.
I never got, you know, oh, but wow.
Maybe it was just going to be a fucking deadline,
but it still looked like I was calling.
You were definitely calling someone, so she figured it out.
And then there was just the constant, you know, making comments.
Yeah.
While waking up and
doing something weird.
I do remember
we had
some kind of meat and
Swiss cheese sandwich. It's a croissant.
A ham and cheese croissant.
Was it good? He doesn't remember.
I just, I
didn't want to eat it. I don't know.
I might have still been high from the night before.
I think you were.
He was in a good mood.
That was the thing.
He was happy.
He was happy, but it wasn't like angry Doug in the morning.
No, I knew.
Okay, okay.
I get back to the hotel.
Where you're living.
Yeah.
I got in the pool for the first time
I think I spent maybe
I wanted to be out there for an hour
to get some sun but
by the look of me I didn't
so
yeah I must have
knocked out fairly early
I walked over to Denny's
I was still in high spirits
seeing all my Denny's. I was still in high spirits seeing all my Denny's crew
over there.
And next thing
I know, fucking getting sales
calls at fucking 8.30 in the
morning. Spam risk.
I figured you just went right
to sleep.
I didn't think you stayed up when you got back
to the hotel.
I napped, woke up, then I was just on the internet doing nothing.
But seemingly for hours.
But I think the last time I talked to you was 8 o'clock at night.
I think that's about right.
In the 8 o'clock hour.
You know, we need to take a break because it's looking like I've got to change a battery.
Okay.
And maybe Meatwig will want to mic up Meatwig.
Yeah, maybe Meatwig will be putting on my ad copy.
I can't fart it right in your face.
That was pretty bad.
When you edit this, you should put in a sound effect.
Or just replay it now in slow motion or at the end.
Slow motion and maybe you can put in
a green fog.
That's a lot of work for
tomorrow.
Wait, you fucking figured out how to do Snapchat?
I've just fucking got my
hot dog nose catching rings
on his Snapchat, yet it takes
him fucking three days.
They do all that. I don't do anything.
I just push a button.
So why don't we just do
our podcast on Snapchat?
That's a pretty good idea.
Yeah, the Hot Dog Nose.
Yeah, the Hot Dog Nose Snapchat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't see why
everything has to be
a fucking lot of work.
That is true.
You definitely don't understand.
That would be a fact.
All right.
Please hold. understand that would be a fact please hold

You are listening to the Doug Stanhope Podcast.
Before we go back, right now we've got This Is Not Fame, signed edition, available at DougStanhope.com store.
All right.
And Brian is fastidiously working.
He needs to work with Chaley on this, he says, to get a proper hardcover or a physical copy of No Encore for the Donkey.
Because that fucking thing that we suspended,
I wish this fucking copy was never sold.
You want to do buybacks?
I don't know if we went to fucking Bangkok
to fucking get those,
but they're cheap.
Like, the paper itself is so
fucking cheap.
You could probably read it.
It was probably safe to read
if you were doing one page at a time.
Because you could see the road through the paper.
It's fucking thinner than
rolling paper. It's just so cheap.
And tiny print
on top of all that.
So
we're remedying that.
King of Thailand, I got a trailer for to look at.
Oh, fuck, we got to pull that trailer from the movie.
Yeah, we can do that tomorrow.
I got so much done today with the contractors that...
I brought Bingo through.
We got local contractors.
We fired those douche hounds,
fucking shyster,
fucking people in Tucson
and got someone local
and progress is being made on the house.
So I brought the bingo through.
It was amazing.
That's the first time she's been in.
Things are happening.
Where I showed her all the things
that you told me.
Yeah.
So it's probably like Chinese telephone.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, wait.
So this is where the bus station's going to be?
A whole wall of toasters?
The swimming pool with the slide?
Yeah.
I love it.
Yeah, and then this, it's actually way early.
But there's actually one of those
long forecasts for this weekend
of rain. So that's why they're
like, hey,
we've got to get those solar panels off, man, because
we've got to do this, because it could
just happen. So
it might not rain this Saturday, but
the roof will be done by Saturday.
Oh, shoot. The exterior.
So it could rain, and that'd be fine. Saturday. Oh, shoot. The exterior. So it could rain and that'd be fine.
All right.
That's great.
Yeah, I was getting ahead of myself at some point
because I don't know exactly.
I go, okay, but if we leave that open,
what used to be a bedroom,
hey, maybe we can set up a podcasting situation like a set
because I've been thinking of some design issues or shit that I go,
I love this stuff, but I don't have any.
The old TVs, I go,
if I start with the old
vintage portable television
sets and work backwards, I could
create a cool ass set.
But I don't know. It's like building a house around
the color of a switch plate on the wall.
Which is kind of what we did.
Yeah, that's kind of...
Yeah, I think once that wall is removed
and you're able to have a better idea of the space,
you know, and fix all that other stuff.
Yeah.
It'll be great.
Yeah.
But you'll be out at that hotel until July, it looks like.
But, I mean, you're there anyway.
Yeah.
I got pool floats.
I got skivvies.
Bathing trunks.
Free laundry.
You had a problem before with a lot of kids hanging out at the pool who weren't staying there.
That was that one day.
I guess they...
It was caddy day at a bushwood well that was one
of the hotels we were at it was a great hotel too except in the lobby i went down to this is a
perfect gorgeous lobby to work you know as soon as breakfast oh yeah breakfast yeah there's tables
everywhere calgary yeah, but some will,
on the road,
okay.
And you know,
you couldn't complain
because,
you know,
some fucking single parent
had their fucking kids there.
Just two kids
the entire day
just sitting there
with their earphones
and their gamer phones
and their fucking homework
and they're just sitting
in a lobby, like right where I wanted to post
stuff, like okay, if I go back there
Which, if they were somewhere else
we wouldn't have this discussion right now
They were where he wanted to be
so that makes it fucking
egregious. There's no way this should be
happening. But I mean
there's probably someone who works
there, had their kids there so they
could do a shift or pull a double or whatever yeah no obviously it's someone who worked there
because the kids were there for fucking solid six hours that i was
back and forth going those kids have to be gone by now no
yeah it's uh because this is like all these highway workers,
these long-time construction people stay there.
So it's not like the fucking Doubletree where it's, you know,
kids are, you can count on kids there.
This, if it's, you know, if it's kids,
it's that same situation where fucking some fucking Esmeralda
brought her fucking whole family down.
And that's what it was like.
I called the front desk.
I go, what's going on with the pool?
There were literally like 60 fucking people, all one family of fucking mostly kids, cannonballs, wearing their fucking laundry.
Yeah, just so they could, yeah.
That's a good idea.
That's smart.
We almost did that once.
We talked about doing that all our lives together.
But in the UK, we were on that seven-week tour, and laundry over there, like, no one
can figure out how to do it.
Washers, you can't figure out the buttons.
Dryers never work, so we were going to just put all of
our clothes on when there was an indoor pool in one of the hotels and just jump in the pool
and then sit in the sauna for two hours till they dried steam them uh so so i called the front desk
i go listen i've been here for like five. I've not seen one single child in this
hotel ever. And you're telling me
that 60 of them just showed up and they're
all taking over the pool? Stop it.
And then she called me back
an hour later. She goes,
they do have rooms.
They check in. They probably have two rooms.
Yeah. They check in
somewhere late at night, but I
told them they'd have to wrap it up
so other people can use the pool
because it's literally not a fucking open seat
so I haven't seen that problem
but we've been on the road
I'll start
I got an Andy Andrist
orange reflective
and now maybe I should get
maybe I should get Maybe I should get
The brand name
Of this hotel
Uniform shirt
Or security shirt
Just so I can start policing
If there's issues like this
So I don't have to trouble the front desk
The perimeter
The outside of the parking
Hey hey hey
Cigarette butts in the can over there.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to get, this is a, this spot reserved for IHG titanium members.
Oh, wow.
Or just get a level that they don't really have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So everyone goes, I don't have that.
Pudding level?
Yeah.
Actually, the people that make those bag tags, you have a choice.
But, yeah, they had all the, they have unobtainium.
Oh, yeah.
Unobtainium level.
Yeah, I think that's from Marvel Comics or unobtainium.
I don't know.
I think that's, yeah, it's one of the comic book guys.
Well, it's funny for a medallion level and Delta Unobtainium.
But yeah, I just get that parking sign, so my spot's always open.
I don't think anyone that works there, which I think there's only three.
It doesn't seem to be a big...
Their entire staff is three people.
There's a pile of... I don't know what it is.
I haven't inspected it, but it's been there
since I checked in because I take the
stairs. I'm on the third floor, so
I take the stairs every time.
You got me on the road, too.
Okay, we're taking the stairs.
If it's just a short amount, just stop
the elevator and take the stairs. I don't force him.
My mom does the same
thing. You know that.
I don't know what stories he's telling you. I just want you to know. You don't force him. My mom does the same thing. You know that. I don't know what stories he's telling you.
I just want you to know.
I don't go, hey, pretend
that escalator doesn't exist.
You're using the stairs, mister.
This pile looks like
the bottom
of a cigarette pack
that has all the loose tobacco.
I don't know what it is. It's beige
and it looks like crumbs. It could be bread crumbs. I don't know what it is. It's beige and it looks like crumbs.
It could be breadcrumbs.
I don't know.
And it's been there since I fucking checked in.
Where is it?
On the back stairwell.
Oh, yeah.
Fifth stair down from the third floor.
And, yeah, every day I look at it.
And it gets a little bit more sparse.
I guess it probably gets ground in a little bit more.
The fact that in a month and a half, no one's vacuumed that fucking back stairwell.
The back stairwell.
Yeah, they're under some renovation.
Okay.
But it's comforting to know that it's there every time I go by.
There's crates of building materials, like, taking up parking spots.
Oh. Oh, fuck, Safeway
Safeway they tore out all the fucking tiles
Tiles were done and they're painted on the exterior
Yeah
This would be growing up man
It was dead empty
And there's a lady started talking to me
Like very close talking
And she goes, Doug
How have you been?
I mean like, how are you been? I mean, like,
how are you doing?
And I thought maybe,
oh,
like,
because of the fire,
they,
yeah,
yeah.
It was Floyd's ex-wife
who never liked me anyway.
Why would she talk to you?
I know.
And to,
like,
be cared,
like,
is there fucking rumors around it?
Maybe that doctor's been saying,
hey,
uh,
he posted your results online?
Yeah, but listen,
you know Stan Hope.
I'm supposed to tell him
his results on his podcast.
He never let me know.
Oh, yeah.
I'm not good with bad news.
Yeah.
Oh, have you heard from that guy?
No, I haven't,
but I told him
I'd talk to him after Austin.
Oh, okay.
But, No, I haven't, but I told him I'd talk to him after Austin. Oh, okay. But I think it's Floyd's wife, but I'm not sure.
Ex-wife?
And I said, you know, just waiting.
The construction's getting going.
Oh, what happened?
I'll say it wasn't.
Oh, fuck.
I thought it was, yeah.
He took a shot.
Yeah.
I assumed you were being comforting
because you think I had a...
No, and it was just a very halting,
like I'm trying to come up with something to say.
Yeah.
Because she had a look of,
you have no idea who I am,
so I'm going to torture you.
I think I do know who you are.
But it's good to see you.
That's funny.
Oh, yeah, please hold.
Do you want another drink?
No, I was going to take a fucking edible.
That was fun.
Edibles are legal up there?
Like, you can go from the East Coast to the West Coast.
You can go on the plane.
You don't have to worry about, are we going to touch down in Oklahoma?
Because if there's a problem, I have weed on me.
It's none of that.
Yeah.
And half the dispensaries I found out, or half the supply is from illegal dispensaries that they really don't enforce.
Right.
So you have two different ways where you can get.
that they really don't enforce.
Right.
So you have two different ways where you can get.
Well, I didn't know that, but I can always tell when he's high because when he's high, high and drunk, he calls.
Well, he calls me all the time.
I love that.
But when he has a lisp, a very strong lisp, it's high and drunk.
And I knew he had access to them both.
But he's got a strong lisp.
And I'm like, honey. Have you noticed that?
Yes, he does. I think that's all in her head.
No, you have a lisp.
I'll pay more attention.
I'm usually annoyed at that point.
I'm trying to do numbers
or figure something out.
Pay attention. He gets a lisp.
And it's fucking hilarious.
Everyone gets some kind of
like a lazy mouth
kind of situation.
Like this.
He's real lazy.
And you've got to make sure
that's on my laptop
before you leave.
The day drinking show.
Oh.
All right.
Well, okay.
You started
doing edibles on stage
in the UK.
Yeah.
How was the day drinking show different than what you, the bad experience, well, your experience in the UK of doing edibles and not giving a shit?
The amount of drinking.
Okay.
Yeah, because I don't know how it ended.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know how it ended yeah yeah
but no I was
in the moment that day drinking show
in Vancouver
this bit has not
worked as many
ways as I've tried it and now this
bit has just become
I don't know if it's that good
which one was it?
a lot of them
he had so many tags that, like, or different, like, actual parts that he added while high during that.
Oh, that's so cool.
I would like to hear that.
The day drinking show that I'm like, you need to listen to this just because.
That is cool.
Yeah, I knew in the moment I have to listen to it.
What about Suicide Bit?
Is that, did anything happen with that one?
Suicide Bit.
Oh, that's the one she's in.
That's the one I want to care about.
No, but I did come up with a couple more beats
where that needed to be ironed out.
I woke up this morning.
I woke up from fucking spam risk two in a row
where I was in a very lucid dream
where I was on stage
and I was talking about suicide
and knowing that a guy in the audience
had either tried to kill himself
and I was about to say to him
hey, sorry I keep talking about suicide
but it's going to come up several more times
and my phone rang
and I'm like fuck it's not spam risk
turn it off
I'm going to try to get back to this dream right
where it was because I was about to tell a guy
I know what table he's at and I
lay down close my eyes and eye mask
phone rings again
and I'm like fuck I was like
maybe I could get right back into that dream
you could turn the phone off
I had to one night because it kept going it was that Michael Biehn night Maybe I could get right back into that train. You could turn the phone off.
I had to one night because it kept going.
It was that Michael Biehn night.
What?
When he blew up your phone.
And Michael Biehn's ring on Doug's thing is a door knock.
Oh. All of them are.
Okay, well, this thing.
It was gone.
He said, hey, I'm at 5.30 in the morning, 5.15.
Hey, I'm trying to wake you up.
And then A, A, A, a a a a so every time no
what was it about he woke me up yeah i know
he wakes up at that hour and he wants to talk to someone he's like he's like an old man atel
at two in the morning because he's just getting home from the bars Michael Biehn calls at 5
4.35 in the morning
So yeah Austin
Do we have announcements
It feels like we should be telling people shit
Austin sold out
You'll be on
Kill Tony on Monday
We should say we'll be at Freedom Fest
Google it It's in July I don't know the dates Kill Tony on Monday? We should say we'll be at Freedom Fest.
Google it.
It's in July.
I don't know the dates,
but it's in Memphis.
And we're putting the band back together, man.
Chaley and Tracy and Bingo and Stan Hope and Chad and Jenny.
We're all flying out for three days.
There's a comedy show at Freedom Fest.
So I'm doing one night there.
A night...
Like a regular nighttime gig.
Yeah.
It's part of their thing.
Yeah.
I'll do the late show where you can say anything you want.
Like at Freedom Fest.
You think...
You censored the first one?
Not so Freedom Fest?
I don't know.
But anyway, so...
Yeah.
I headlined the late show Friday.
And other than that,
we're fucking off.
Chad said he's like focusing on being in a fun
mood.
Because
it's obviously a libertarian
bent to it.
But yeah, some
of the folks, when we went to that
libertarian
convention,
the national, yeah, like, oh, man, some people are fucking way too serious about it.
It's like we went to that atheist thing with the amazing Randier.
And that was a fun time time It was a great comedy show
And
But
You don't want to sit around and talk about
Fucking Atheism
And some people do
Some people
That's their whole identity
So that's all they talk about
But I mean the Freedom Fest thing was A lark that ended up turning into a gig some people, you know. That's their whole identity. Yeah. So that's all they talk about. Right.
But, I mean, the Freedom Fest thing was a lark that ended up turning into a gig.
It's, I got the Reason magazine,
sent an email out.
Ooh, look at this guy, Reason magazine.
Smart fuck magazine.
Yeah.
It's the only fucking news source
that I can tolerate
as reason.
Biden's full of shit
right next to what Trump is full of shit.
This is bullshit.
But I get the thing
and then I go, I'm not going to fucking...
I've never gone to one other than
that when I was running. I had been
running for president that year.
That's the only reason I showed up in Denver.
Probably is the only reason we booked that gig at that time was to do that.
Assuming we'd be there.
Like route it because it was there, yeah.
Freedom Fest.
Yeah, I'm trying to think if I...
We did something in Manchester,
but I think it was just some dude's podcast that was libertarian.
So I've always...
But I looked up just for fun
because I get the email in the morning
when I like to do my morning travels,
my fantasy travel.
I'm like, what is in Memphis?
I'll find the closest hotel to the place.
I'm sure I've already told this story.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So yeah, we're staying at a giant pyramid,
fucking Bass Pro Shop-themed,
fucking just atrocity of garish, vulgar...
You can shoot guns?
I don't know...
I don't know that you can shoot guns.
I think there is an archery range.
There's an underwater...
It's underwater themed.
Welding?
No, welding.
Underwater welding?
Bowling alley.
Underwater bowling school?
Yeah.
But I think if there's not shooting there,
I want to go shooting.
There is a shooting range.
Is there?
Yeah.
I'll look again.
I know there's a spa.
We can do a spa day.
Yeah. Chad to get his a spa day. Yeah.
Chad to get his toenails done.
Yeah.
Why not?
Well, he likes that.
Yeah.
Yeah, we could do it.
There's some fucking pranks to be had.
There's definitely some pranks to be had.
And then there's, like, that's a three-day festival thing.
We talked about it before.
I put links up on the video feed.
I know theirs goes through the weekend
and we duck out on Saturday.
So I think we're there
a night early and then
small shit
kicks in. We're not going to be fucking
in.
They do have a media row
so we can podcast and I'm sure
we can find some characters.
Okay, yeah.
That would be cool.
Yeah, we could definitely do some podcast.
In fact, we could
sandbag a bunch
to put out bonus
ones because there'll be definite
characters there. Yeah, yeah.
We could do...
We could do...
I don't want to do a writer's meeting right now
but they are giving us a space
to podcast from while we're there
anyone with a podcast
so it'll just be
media row
we could just make up what our show is
depending on the person
yeah
I'm definitely
in for the pranks.
All right.
All right.
Bingo, you get fucking rocked pretty quick.
I know.
I can tell.
Yeah.
It's half a drink and you're...
Well, you don't know what you had before that.
No, I had none before, but this is the second one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't get a lisp.
You get a... What is my...
What is the opposite of a lisp?
You get like a throaty Demi Moore kind of voice.
Oh, maybe that, but my eyes go...
Oh, yeah.
No, that's later.
When you go cross-eyed.
That's good.
Because I am going to watch...
Have you seen...
I saw just a part of the episode one.
Number four.
Dynamite something Chasing Lightning
I'm going to watch it
let's do it
we have to wrap up Bingo
I have to say okay about Bingo
MMA guy
I think we did talk about this on a podcast
what's it on Netflix?
no I think it's HBO
or Showtime
it's a. Or Showtime.
Yeah, it's a MMA fighter, like recent,
that was an up-and-coming fucking,
taking the fucking thing by storm, and then pulled off the biggest fucking bank heist.
Oh, we saw that as a preview, but we didn't watch it.
I watched it.
It was one of the things.
It's good?
Yeah, it's a four-parter.
I saw the part one.
I caught it.
I missed the first 40 minutes.
You missed it.
Why would you drop in on 40 minutes?
It was like an hour and 15.
So I watched and then
recorded the rest.
But I'm like, this is fucking crazy.
So it holds up?
It holds up?
I don't know.
No, I mean...
Yeah, she's watched it.
Okay, so good.
Yeah.
I had to catch up on Succession and then two Formula One races.
So that's what I did this morning.
I got gotta figure out
I was listening to fucking
this book I'm into
the fucking 48
laws of power
that Chad Shank has read
oh yeah yeah
you think it's gonna be like sales related
but it's really like it makes you wanna be
a fucking grifter
it's just
is that why they put it out or is, it's just, it's, it's Is that what it's, is that why they
put it out, or is this self-help?
No, no, it's, it's
and it's, it's, it's really
entertaining. They go, okay, here,
you know, don't, uh, don't ever be, like,
funnier than the boss. And then they go
through, like, something in history where
someone tried to do this, and
Napoleon had him fucking killed, and they have, like,
really cool stories.
Specifically.
But it's, yeah, it's, I mean, it's how to fucking lie, cheat and steal your way to the top.
But it just, it reinforces stuff you already know, but it makes you want to be a carny.
Yeah.
It makes you want to go out there and be fucking.
Point being, it's 23 and a half hours, I think.
Okay.
What do I do?
So I just throw it on here to Tucson.
Yeah, yeah.
And it started skipping today.
I'm like, this is an Audible book.
Were you playing it on a record player?
That's my point.
I'm like, I have no idea how to fix this or correct this.
Well, sometimes that can just from the download.
So you can re-download it.
Yeah.
Alright. Okay, Bingo.
What?
She's checked out. I gotta record her.
Alright.
Meatwig, here, do you want to fart?
I'm coming in with my...
Cat fart. The title should just be
it doesn't matter what we talked about on this podcast.
Because the cat farted at J. Lee Sparks.
