Ask Dr. Drew - Doug Stanhope vs. Dr. Drew in 2024: "Don't Even Bother" Rehashing Old Feud Between Us – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 316

Episode Date: January 29, 2024

Over a decade ago, comedian Doug Stanhope had a lot to say about Dr. Drew. “Just hearing his name, bile comes out of me,” Stanhope joked in an early 2010s comedy show. “Dr. Drew is to medicine what David Blaine is to science.” But in the years since, Stanhope and Drew reunited as friends – and Dr. Drew even wrote a foreword for Stanhope’s memoir. “If anyone’s trying to rehash any old animosity that I put out into the world between us…” Doug says today, “don’t even bother. We’ve already covered it a million times.” “In fact, Amanda Knox has a podcast series called Labyrinths coming up,” continues Stanhope, “and I’m doing her podcast and you are the subject, you and I and our relationship.” Doug Stanhope is a stand-up comedian, author, and podcaster. He ran for President of the United States as a Libertarian in the 2008 election.

Joel Adepo on the 31st. Kelly Victory, as I said, is returning on February 14th. She'll be here on Valentine's Day with Alex Berenson. You see the list there. Check it out. I believe all the shows are 3 o'clock Pacific time, but do check in with us. We'll let you know for sure. And don't forget to get

on our email list so you can get and go to drdrew.tv and we'll send you out blast when the show is coming along. All right. So as we say up there on the screen, we are going to be in Twitter spaces. I'm right now joining it myself, in fact.

And Doug and Bingo have very kindly agreed to stick around to take your calls as well. So please welcome Doug Stanhope. There you are. Which one is Doug and which one is Bingo? I'm confused. Bingo, don't so don't

confuse bingo's uh headdress for any support of anyone in the uh palestine conflict understood is is a non-political uh gesture with the bunny headdress again is it cold where you guys are yeah pretty chilly yeah yeah it's about 49 degrees which is crazy tell the story how you ended in bisbee how did that happen to you guys i mean you were touring comedian forever and then all of a sudden there you guys are out in the country this was just a weird little stop that i found between uh gigs and i had three days off between a ph and El Paso gigs. And I lived in LA at the time. So we just kept coming back to this weird little town. So just immediately when you drive through the tunnel,

it's like captivating, like where the fuck am I? So I just kept coming back to the point where I had to leave LA at one point, but just, it was too much, too much traffic and too much people. And I said,

why not move here and i've been here for 18 years that's amazing and you and you guys love it there and bingo how have you felt living there oh man well we got together after my first mental institution hospitalization and um so this is home for me. It's very mentally, mental illness friendly here. It's a population of 5,000. Lovely. It works for me.

I like that. I revisited before the show, the forward I wrote for you for this is not fame. And I, and, and, and I laughed out loud. It's a lot of it.

I've forgotten exactly what I said. And I thought I'll stand by all of this, but, but it reminds me of the, I love the fact that they embrace people. That's people come in all kinds of interesting varieties and for them to shun you or to make you feel different or whatever,

for a small town, that's very appealing. Yeah, it's an artist town, but really broke-ass artists. So you get a lot of mental health cases uh to the point where you go okay how much am i really going to defend mental health my girlfriend's mentally ill but she's not mentally ill at you like a lot of these people it's a lot of a lot of meth mixes with the illness down here oh that's different yeah no no meth meth is a different deal. That creates a brain disorder of aggression and violence. In fact, there was a guy named David Smith.

He's an old-time addiction guy. He ran the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic. And he and another guy, I don't know if you remember growing up the term speed kills. Remember seeing that around? Speed kills, speed kills. That was when really after the aftermath of the 60s speed epidemic meth that was it really was all kinds of pills at that point primarily black and he told me once black beauties exactly and and he told me at the time he goes we didn't mean that speed killed

people we meant the people on speed kill and i thought oh yeah that's that's the fact they get very very aggressive i know it's it's interesting i don't i think of that as a brain reaction not as a mental illness but it is technically a mental illness i guess it's meth psychosis yeah if you when you when you see him doing that dance in the middle of the uh circle k parking lot for a few hours. You don't say that's a reaction. You go, that guy's fucked. I call that St. Vita's dance because sometimes it includes a lot of kind of wild movements. I know it when I see it, that's for sure.

So in this book, I didn't know i didn't remember uh that you dedicated to some of the folks that helped with bingo right do you remember uh yeah yeah the the the two doctors that uh basically uh saved her life uh uh and Susan Bazell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The two doctors.

It was funny because in the early days I didn't have health care forever and so at one point I had an umbilical hernia that needed repair and I

so I just put out on my website back when such things existed and i said hey if you're a doctor out there and you want to treat free surgery for a complimentary t-shirt or cd and i got it and then i ended up being the same emergency room uh doctors that saved my ass when she had her traumatic oh wow yeah oh my goodness amazing and bingo is there any significance to the sergeant pepper style coat there

no i i collect um weird shit and i don't know why i put it on today no significance no so so i fell in love with i fell in love with bingo when she sent me her box so i want to show you i want to show you bingo's box this i found we found the box susan found the box this is the bingo's box and we've got some of the some of the contents some of the contents. Some of the contents still are in here, which are beautiful. And you can see, with unfeigned gratitude, thank you from Bingo. Yeah. And so it has been in this room. It's been, it was in, I sort of have a screen I'm looking at here.

And it's been under that screen for as long as we've been doing this show. And it used to be up in our bedroom for a long time. We brought bingo's box into our bedroom. That's what we did. And before the show, why don't you share, Doug, what you said about me saying bingo's box over and over again and not having any uh consequence i thought it was impressive that no one was swinging at the low hanging fruit and making a vagina joke and then susan chimed in and went ah bingo's box i said i love bingo's box sort of the same same as what i said pretty much uh okay i'm looking at it was our

rumble rants guys and jf i know you were one of them that really wanted doug here so you this is your chance you can come in on the chat there and ask any questions you have uh i'm watching susan is watching let me let me let me cut this off at the end before if anyone's going to try to rehash of old animosity that I put out into the world between, don't even bother we've already covered it a million times. Yeah.

In fact, I'm doing Amanda Knox has a podcast series called Labyrinths coming up and I'm doing her podcast coming up and I'm doing her podcast coming up and you are the subject of that. You and I and our relationship is going to be the subject

of it. Because she posted something on Twitter something about her kid told his first joke and some poop joke and I was going to make a joke that would be at the expense of her reputation, what,

what she went through. And I don't know her well enough to do that. And these are things I've learned you and other people I've made fun of. And then I go, Oh, I wish I could take that back. Wish that person had heard that. And so,

so that's now the subject because she's on the other end of that that that will be the subject of our podcast is you oh fantastic and yeah it's just it's just about taking that beat right just taking a beat and going i wonder how that's gonna land it's funny i don't know if it's going to have the effect i wanted to wonder how it would land on the person yeah we you really when you first started out where i was just doing cds in the late 90s and there's no such thing as google or youtube you could make fun of anyone as a human being and no thought they'll ever find it where are they going to find this right right right doug flutie had a child with some disabilities that uh and it wasn't directed at the kid but the kid did catch a little bit of the train wheels in that bit um and i would never

do that if now where i thought oh what what if Doug Flutie heard that? But sometimes it's too late. And sometimes you don't know if someone's a great guy until Bert Kreischer says, oh, no, Dr. Drew's a great guy. Yeah, I talk to him all the time. He was the midwife to us becoming friends. Oh, is that? I had no idea. I didn't know Bert was involved with that. You know, I kind of helped invent Bert.

He told the machine story for the first time on Loveline when he was, I think, co-hosting with me. And I was, yeah, and I was dying when he told the story. And I made him come back the next night and tell it again. And when he finished the second time telling it, I said, dude, that's your movie. And then that was the movie. Stop telling it. Massachusetts. And he's still telling it with his shirt off.

You started this. You ended Dr. Drew. I mean, if it works, you know, you got to stick with what works. Drew's fault.

Yeah, it is my fault. But someone, Jen Hollywood is shouting out to you guys. And she says, how's the Adderall jewelry I made for you holding up? Did the capsules break?

Oh my God. It's so greatules break oh that was so great god knows where any of that is i don't know but we have just uh i don't want to kick the dead horse but we did we had a house fire a year ago it wasn't major but because they found asbestos, this entire house was pulled down to the beams. And we just, after a year, got back in. And so most of that shit just either went to a thrift store at some point. Or it's still not found from being in storage. They had to clear out everything. As you can tell from the hoard behind me.

That is so sweet and it looks good now I like the backdrop I know it's already so Jeheb767 your biggest fan yeah wants you to run for president again but he wants to know how

how about what are your thoughts on COVID and how the lockdown was handled very serious i was so so incredibly self-involved for that i the idea that i could just stay home indefinitely and have no responsibility was everything i wanted out of life. I still try to look back and think, if I were 25 or 30 years old instead of 50 or 55 years old,

when I was a headstrong libertarian without even knowing what most of it meant, I would have definitely been out licking door handles. I did, actually. I licked definitely been. I would have been out licking door handles. I did, actually.

I licked one locally. But yeah, I would have. Didn't make a habit of it. For the first month, I did a full 30-day news purge. I wouldn't even listen to gossip. I don't want to know anything because i i still i still have no idea when rob schneider is soberly talking to you about ivermectin you go all right what do you what what's even real anymore where do i live well yeah i i want to go back to the book that I wrote the foreword for again. I actually thought you were...

I had two thoughts when you very kindly asked me to write that foreword. And I recommend the book. I was looking at the Amazon ratings and it's four and a half stars. It is... If you like... I don't understand why it's not a classic. I'm quite serious about that. It is,

people that like and revere Hunter S. Thompson, this is more. There's a lot more wisdom. There's a lot more adventure. Just more. So please, read it. I guess you could put that. Okay, fair enough.

Like you said, you don't really remember it. So, but, okay fair enough but like you said you don't really remember it so so but but but the the the two thoughts i had when you asked me was first i thought to myself and i think i even asked you this can't you get johnny depp to do this because you and he were friends at that point and i never asked you how did that happen oh he just uh i got an email at one point and he had he had already written the forward for the first book but by the time i go hey he goes i

haven't finished it yet i go they're like he stretched so long saying i haven't finished they go they're they're either today or they're not going to use it. So he just gave them what he had, which wasn't really, yeah. It was supposed to be an ages-long run-on sentence, but it was only a page. He's just a fan, evidently. There's one bit I did that I get a few fans of notoriety because it was about, uh, do you ever try to sleep sober? How do you do that?

Is the premise. And I get a lot of fans that I understood exactly what I meant. That's how that Marilyn Manson, that's how I met Johnny Depp, uh, from that one special. Uh, and so,

yeah, then we just there's not a lot of booze bags left anymore Drew you kind of ruined all that you know what the celebrity rehab where people are like oh wait aren't we supposed to do those

I promise they're around I promise but but I oh shoot I promise they're around, I promise. But I, oh, shoot. Oh, I've just noticed that every really good comedian has a movie star fan. Like, you each have your own. Like, Segura's got Brad Pitt,

and I forget who Kreischer had. I know there was somebody I saw the other day. It's so interesting to me. It's like each one gets their own movie star. The few times I remember being jealous, Mitch Hedberg had a lot of rock and roll star fans

and I didn't even like... Before I knew they were someone cool, because I never listened to music. I've never been a music guy. But like the White Stripes and I think maybe Kid Rock, before I even knew who these people were, were coming backstage to see him. And yeah, that made me jealous. Rock stars are maybe a little bit cooler than actors.

But you know what that's a symptom of is that everybody in, I've noticed everybody in entertainment is not what they want. They, they wish they were something else. The rock stars want to be comedians or movie stars. The movie stars want to be comedians. The producers want to be directors. The directors want to be actors.

Everybody is not doing exactly what they wanted to do, which is so odd to me. Drew Penske is the only one who is very satisfied being Drew Penske. I am doing exactly what I want to do because I really couldn't do anything else. But that's a different conclusion.

Somebody on YouTube said Kreischer's guy is Steve Gutenberg. Is that right? That's hysterical. That may be true. And I can't hear you, Susan. Your mic is off. Also, sorry.

A little off today. Somebody on Twitch wants to know if you'll be doing any more movies because he loved you on Road Dogg. And if you're touring. I've done two acting jobs and they're both uh playing the same role basically i did a louis ck show and then this uh a very low budget the road dog and uh the only acting job i got was the second one from the first a decade plus later. I'm not turning down a lot of offers is the answer.

And how about touring? People are wondering where you're up next, where they can find out what's up. I have to have desire and an act. Easier to write the act than I'm not forcing I filmed a special in May that I still haven't got around to editing

and part of my head says you know I should put that out right when I'm about to start going on tour again to get the momentum going okay hey he's alive and he's boring. Rather than put it out and go, yeah, this might be the last of it.

And Susan, before we started, was looking for the footage of our onstage at the Skank Fest, Susan. She wanted to read the magic. Bingo's box. Bingo's box so let's do this i think i think doug that won the skankiest skank award oh yeah they were two main of there were two takeaways from the entire weekend and you you were apparently number two on everyone's list. Number one was someone who had sex in public

but it wasn't really in public. It was in public. It was a trans. It didn't matter. It didn't matter. But they were all laughing because they... I'm actually with you because I never

found out, I never asked which direction the transsexual had turned, you know, which, was it a male to a female, a female to a male? Who cares? I thought Doug was the skankiest. If it was someone else's piss maybe alright so here's what I here's what I want to do don't leave Bingo we're going to take calls now and so I see you all in the Twitter spaces we have more Twitter we have more

you can join us on Twitter spaces if you want to talk to Doug or Bingo or myself I see one hand up so far. And Caleb is playing the little cartoon here on how you call in, what you do. You push the request. I bring you up.

G-E-N-U-C-E-L dot com slash D-R-E-W. Well, most of my career I've been urging people to kick habits, change habits. Well, this time I'd like to suggest getting into the habit of adding Paleo Valley grass-fed bone broth protein to your daily nutrition regimen. Here's CEO Autumn Smith. It's made from cows with 100% grass-fed and finished and bones. They're bones. Rather than the hide, most bone broth or collagen powders are made from hides or hooves, but ours is actually made from the bone.

It'll contain additional nutrients. Bone broth is a way to bring back those nutrients, those minerals, and there's glucose aminoglycans, and then there's collagen, which helps us prevent wrinkles and joint pain and actually heals our gut. There's gelatin, and there's just all of these ingredients that the modern diet has kind of left by the wayside. Susan and I have been mixing the chocolate favorite bone broth literally into our coffee every morning for months, and we've noticed a difference in our energy, appearance of our hair, skin, nails. Susan's particularly very happy with this. The bioavailable protein also helps us feel satiated. That's the part I'm happy with. Paleo Valley Bone Broth also comes in vanilla and pure,

unflavored, and can easily be added to your coffee, smoothies, yogurt. Go to drdrew.com slash paleo, P-A-L-E-O, for 15% off your first order. Again, that is drdrew.com slash paleo. We all know the value of a good night's sleep. We feel better, look better, have more energy to spare, but you could be missing out on all of those benefits if you're sleeping on sheets that are too hot or too cold or just plain uncomfortable.

It's interesting, Bingo, people that don't know you are getting confused and calling you Bunny because of the address, which is hysterical. And the other thing I'm noticing reading particularly over on the Rumble side,

your friends, your fans really are kind and really love really are affected. Really love you guys. I mean, they appreciate both of you, which is nice to see. I honestly have one of the best fan bases in comedy. I'm not saying that. Ask is a reputation-wise when we go to clubs repeatedly for years. We can't wait for you to come back because your fans are the best fans, even though they tend to get a little too drunk. They tend to tailgate

a little too early sometimes. But they tip on almost rivaling a gay audience, which you know are always the best tipers. It might be rude to me, but they're kind to the staff. They're always light. It might be rude to me, but they're,

they're kind of the staff. They do. They are. Well, they're, they're kind of me here, which I'm not used to. And they're,

they really are expressing their appreciation and love for you guys. And, uh, it just, they're just like into it. So it's, it's nice to see. And I,

you know, I, you forget, if you're not a comedian, how much, this is odd that this came up today, but how much the fans are sort of specific to the performer. I was thinking about this last night.

I was watching a documentary. I'm not saying your fans are anything like this, about Insane Clown Posse. And apparently they were, yeah. And I've met a lot of the Juggalos and when you sort of meet them they are lovely and they get a little carried away but they're usually lovely people i i was invited to do that uh whatever the gathering of the the gathering and i was just a little too old i mean we caught me maybe

five years earlier from when that invite but i saw a documentary you know i'm too old for the mud and you know i need a you know a holiday in minimum i'm not sleeping some guy's trailer yeah that's it up I'm with you. That's what I said to him. Also, they throw Jaeger bottles and I can't, if I get hit, it'll be curtains for me. No, Jaeger Fago.

They do. They squirt the Fago everywhere. See, I brought up Fago this morning. I brought it up to Adam this morning. He broke out in absolute, frankly frankly tears um but in this documentary they they were they were um they were they were picked by the fbi as being a gang that incited a terrorist group that incited gang violence and they sued the fbi yeah it's a great documentary i'd never seen it before and i was like yeah it, and they had the documentary list of top 10 terrorists. It was like,

MS-13, you know, Houthi, rebels, juggalos. It was like, what? What? It's incredible. Now I want that invite again. Years ago,

I said no. Maybe it's funny to go back when you're getting AARP magazine. I would probably go if you went, sir. So it would be really interesting. Yeah. That would, you can tell that to. The band has to be aging as well. You can tell that to... Violent J was at the Skank Fest. Did you see him?

The day before we saw you guys. Oh. No, I don't know if I did. Oh, wait. Yeah, we did. We did see him. Yeah, it was pretty interesting. I never put two and two together. But Skank and Juggalo icp they're very kind of similar cultures in there all right i'm trying to get ken up here uh ken tv skank fest for the record there's nothing in my 34 years of comedy

that's compared to skank fest they uh it's it is one of the the most fun experiences i've had in all of comedy so i would hugely i i'm glad you feel it because i i was we were delighted to have been a part of it it did it did not uh disappoint that's for sure and they had ellis mania there as part of it it just was lovely. It was skanky and fun. All right, Ken, I'm trying again. And I got COVID. Of course.

As is the custom. I always get COVID, though. We couldn't go to here before. Now, Ken, unmute yourself. Ken TV. there we are I couldn't hear anybody when I came up so I was like let me just drop out

and then maybe I'll better I can hear everybody now we can hear you what's going on my question is, do you know who is Ian Ellis, Doug? What? Do you know who is?

Is that the name? Ian Ellis. Yeah, Ian Ellis. He's a comedian. Ian Ellis. I'm not. It's either no or yeah, he's one of my best friends,

and I'm just forgetting. He knows the guy that puts together Skank Fest. He knows Lewis. Lewis from the Skanks. Lewis Gomez. Yes. How do you spell this guy's name? Ian Ells, he said.

Ian, E-L-L-E-S or something like that? How do you spell his last name? Yeah. E-L-L-E-S or something like that? How do you spell his last name? Yeah. E-L-L-E-S. I-S. I-S. E-L-L-E-S. I don't know.

If there's some more factual information where you go, oh, you guys broke out of a Tijuana jail cell together, then I'll go, oh, that guy. You know what? And that's not because his brain isn't working well. As you get,

if you live in lots of different situations like Doug's on the road or Doug's in Bisbee or Doug's at the Skank Fest, you can't recall people unless you give the context. It's very weird. I have the same experience. You're just giving me a series of letters

at this point. Yeah. So what else up? Drew, you said that rock stars wanted to do comics. What about Def Leppard? They wanted to be rock stars. Is that what they said?

I didn't know those guys. Yeah, that's why they made Pyromania. Well, I will tell you, Gene Simmons wanted to be a rockstar. That was his plan. So I'm not saying everybody always, but I've noticed that there is a trend where people aren't quite what they wanted to be uh let's get josh up here deaf leopard that that one guy in deaf leopard wanted to be a two-armed drummer hey dr drew hey josh what's happening not much so i was wondering if you know the connection between psychology and comedy and i was wondering if, you know, the connection between psychology and comedy.

And I was wondering, like, because comedians tend to, well, Freud always thought that comedians will put something that's sort of conscious back into the unconscious. So that's sort of the nature of the joke is that, you know, we're all sort of having these things, thinking these things. And then the comedian says, no, no, you're not thinking that you're, you know, and so, and I was wondering if, if, um, and also as one between comedy and psychology and also Trump and how comedy has taken a weird turn once he started becoming very popular, because it's almost as if the comedians had sort of less to work with. And I was just wondering if you wanted to comment on that. Because,

because he was sucking up all the comedy. Yeah. In a sense, he was sort of controlling our unconscious in a way. He sort of talks in a way where we're all thinking. I don't like to think about that. Yeah, I know it's weird.

That's what I was thinking about. So I wanted to know if you had a comment on that. Doug, what do you say? I never really talk about that. Trump, from my perspective, ruined my style of comedy, things that I would talk about. He ruined those because he would try to do that and he was so bad at it that he was just offensive. And I had the same problem with Facebook fan pages.

I would hear that, yeah, everyone on there, they're like fucking racist and fucking misogynist because they're just trying to mimic someone and they're bad at it so to to me what i what i do and i feel gross talking about myself like this but there is a fine line where you go okay yeah if you do this poorly it's like eating a blowfish at sushi you cut the thing the wrong way. You're going to fucking poison yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Do you have your own personal, and I, this is a follow on Josh's question. I'm sort of curious about this. And I'm, I'm curious about bingo things about it too, frankly, but,

but do you have your own bingo? You awake? You go to, you still with me? There you are. And are you, you look lost in thought. All right, good.

I want to make sure I didn't put you to sleep. But do you have your own personal sort of theory of comedy? Cause people, people, you look lost in thought. All right, good. I want to make sure I didn't put you to sleep. But do you have your own personal sort of theory of comedy? Because people, people, you know, people study comedy, try to figure out what is mirth? Why do humans laugh? And comedians all have kind of different ideas about it. Yeah. That's all that guy was saying. Like, how do you break this down i don't i don't even know

that the basic terms are i don't know what satire even means that's for other talking heads to put together i don't know why anything i've done is funny i just do what amuses me and then uh hopefully it works you know most comedians have a have a moment in their life where it hits them they either get hooked on comedy or they think to themselves i could do this i could do this as a make a living did you have a moment like that i hang on i want to drop this uh it's such a it's a rare book, but it's a book. Kaufman was the author, and the name of it was The Comedian as Confidence Man, A Study in Irony Fatigue.

And it goes through humorists from Ben Franklin up to Bill Hicks and all of these Lake Wobegon days guy, Waterhouse Five guy, where they get so sick of having to hide behind the mask of comedy, where they're not kidding. Like, okay, I'm using comedy because that makes it okay to say these things, but I'm not kidding. And it's one of the best books. And the closest I've ever come to deconstructing it was just

wow, that was that was good how about that well well done, it's almost like he mentioned it ahead of time, which he had not I'm looking it up right now, there's a

few of them, oh shoot, show it up right now there uh there's a few of the oh shoot what is the short up there again i think it was a reprinting because i dropped the name after someone gave me this maybe 20 years ago i dropped the name so much i think i got an email that they did a small reprinting because i kept mentioning it and and what is it and And why did it, there it is, oh no, god dang it. And why did this speak to you so vividly? The same, just on the, yeah, exactly, factor. Where you go, that's what I know. Only so many people have those stories where you go, yeah, it's because here's the refrain that bothers me.

Dr. Drew is where people go, hey, people just relax. He's a comedian. If you can't take a joke and you go, no, it's not a joke. They're offended for the right reasons because I meant every word of what I said. I put a fist fuck joke at the end to put some spin on it a little moxie and get a laugh but no i admit you're offended for the right reason i like everything i said about dr drew i felt it and meant and i was i would still stand behind a factually i could go back and argue cases which we did the first time we met. I would take out all the personal vitriol.

I wouldn't wish you... I'm not quite as much... Susan, I'm not quite as much of an asshole. Yes, he doesn't want to kill me anymore. He doesn't think I'm quite as much of an asshole oh my god that's so funny the right way to uh a personal growth uh with uh rehabilitation is to send someone boating with gary bc when they're at their worst things like that i can argue all right and uh and back to my i'm gonna get kathy up here in a second but back to my question did did you have a moment where comedy was like that's what i want to do

or i got hooked on it or most comedians can kind of think of a moment no i i must have toyed with the idea i wanted to do something i moved to ho to Hollywood at 18 to try to be an actor and that didn't work out. And that was my own personal bootcamp for life was I just showing up blind to Hollywood with 400 bucks in my pocket going, what do I do next? But then when I, comedy was a boom when I moved to Vegas. And so there was an open mic at this bar every week and I go I want to do that uh yeah my my moment was after I did it and everyone said I did good and I'm like okay I'll keep doing it yeah yeah first first first good night uh first time you

killed I always love the uh the language of violence in comedy. Comedians either kill or they die. Or they die. I died up there or I killed the audience. One or the other. Or ate shit. Or ate shit. Shit.

I ate shit. I ate shit up there. Kathy, unmute yourself for others that want to come up. You only drink pee. What's that? Doug only drinks pee. No, no. He to come up. You only drink pee. What's that? Doug only drinks pee. No, no, he doesn't eat shit. He drinks pee.

How dare you talk about my friend like that? It was just a smudge. All right. Kathy, you still have to unmute the mic in the lower left-hand corner there to speak. Anybody else wants to speak? Again, you click that same button, and I bring you on up the way I have Kathy. And then sometimes it's hard to get that mute button to – there we are. Hi, Kathy. Oh, hi.

Are you speaking with me? We are speaking with you. It says Kathy on the thing here, yeah. Oh, my goodness. Hello. Hey, um, I actually have a health question.

Is it okay to ask a health question or do I need to tell a joke? No, no. You just have to say hi to bingo and Doug. Hey guys. I feel the health question. Please. So go ahead Kathy what's going on there

what's happening I am extremely fatigued right now I'm on the couch I'm only 61 usually very active and also when I'm, I'm only 61, uh, usually very active. And also when I sit down, I have to close my eyes, even though I'm awake, I have to

close my eyes. So, so let me ask a couple of questions. Uh, do you have any medical problems that you know of? Oh my gosh. Year 23 was the year from hell. Um, yes, I had lots of, I mean, it was, Oh my gosh. Year 23 was the year from hell. Yes. I had lots of, I mean, it was crazy stuff. And I lived here in the medical world.

Do you presently? Fresno. Do you presently have any medical problems? Two quick questions. What did you have for breakfast? And how many steps did you put in today? Wait. Is it a lot of sugar and fat and no steps?

She's on the couch. No steps. I'm on the couch. to walking in the beginning of September because of some medical, I had to go through some pretty severe radiation. And then I fell so hard. For what? Hang on. Okay, now why did you get radiation?

Okay, I got to tell you, they'd never heard of it, never seen it before. They sent it off to six different pathologists because they couldn't believe I had breast cancer. It was under my arm. It was not in any lymph nodes. It was not in my breast, but it came back breast cancer. So you had breast cancer and you had radiation. How long ago was radiation? I'm sorry? How long ago was radiation? I'm sorry?

How long ago was radiation? Play it with your juice box, lady. I finished the radiation at the end of March. A year ago. Okay, so here's the deal. When was the last time you saw your doctor? Well, I see lots of different doctors. Today, I just saw my diabetes doctor.

I've been diabetic for 42 years. A1C 6.6. Okay, so Kathy, all right, so Kathy, I would have to sit and take your whole medical history. You have a lot of stuff going on. Just the radiation of the diabetes can be associated with fatigue. Your breast cancer can come back, of course.

But you've got to take this very seriously. It's time to go get a full medical workup. It's time to maybe get a PET scan again to make sure the breast cancer hasn't come back. It's time to get a chest x-ray. Kathy, one quick question. When you say you see a lot of doctors, are you like on a podcast call in circuit? Hey,

you just see a lot of doctors like a few minutes at a time before they, they Bob you off. We, we hope it's not that. They cut me off and say, okay, we're done. Well,

I mean, Kathy, I literally, I, I'd have to, we'd have to go over your medicine. I understand. The list of things.

But what I want you to know, though, this kind of fatigue is for real. It's not like, oh, Kathy's lazy. This is for real. Something's holding you down. My number one always, my number one is medication. So it could easily be some medication doing it. My number two is whatever your underlying disease process has been we've got to look at those make sure everything's in balance nothing's

recurring and things like thyroid disease and other things can really really do the same thing so you gotta isn't it like when you get to a certain age it's like a it just it's like when you have a something go wrong in a car something else goes wrong in a car and it just keeps happening. Yes, but that's older than 61. But I mean, cancer is no joke. Cancer is no joke. And diabetes. Things don't go wrong with the car if you don't leave the road. Stay on

the couch. There's nothing wrong with laying on the couch. You've got to get up, you've got to do shit. That's when you fall down, you break the hip, you choke on a clam. You've got to do shit. That's when you fall down. You break a hip. You choke on a clam. Stay in bed. Wisdom from Doug Stanhope.

Alec. Yeah. Alec on Mutual. I like the way Bingo has to cover her face when you speak, Doug. You choke on a clam? No, but I mean, I feel like, you know, sometimes you have to keep going back in and you don't want to. Yes, yes. You have to, when there's a lot going on, look, it requires a lot of follow-up and a lot of management, a lot of care. Alec, what's going on there?

It's a pain in the ass. Hey, Dr. Drew. Big fan of Loveline. Just want to say you're a passionate, passionate man. And hi, Doug and Bingo. Good to talk to you. So I was actually going through a lot of the old radio shows that you used to do on Loveline because they're all on YouTube.

And I got to the funniest part that I think that y'all got where, well, other than the one where you have the night caller that's basically asking about like, oh, what are you doing? Thinking about the Holocaust? Oh, yeah. Yeah. The Holocaust call. Yeah. But you've had another one too you liked.

This one is you guys are talking about rape being a violent act oh yeah oh yeah no this was this was an old joke that that adam would say he goes he goes look he was talking about his grandmother actually and his grandmother would sit at the dinner table and go on about the violent crime rape and adam said he started thinking about it and he goes well that's right he goes a violent it's a violent crime it's just the same as if you came in a liquor store with a gun held the guy up and then jumped over the counter and pistol whipped the guy and then you ejaculated and it's the same thing. Otherwise it's exactly the same. He was,

he was making fun of that phenomenon. It's exactly the same. And then you come, but otherwise you're going to get them canceled. Now that was the joke, a joke, everybody joke. All right.

So I just wanted to ask, um, uh, what was, uh, what, what was the, if you were to think the funniest thing that happened to you on Loveline or with Adam, I just was curious about, because you guys are talking about comedy. Was there a moment that you knew that that was working well for you? Well, it was the very first time we were together he we filmed a little pilot and uh i never really met him before and we laughed so hard doing this pilot for us for mtv it was loveline loveline for mtv yeah and we were laughing so much uh after the you know at the end of the filming

the stage director came up to us and said, how many years have you guys been working together? And we looked at each other like, we met this morning, you know? And I thought, oh, there's something there, I guess. And so here we are 35 years later, still doing stuff. So there we are.

But thanks for that, Alec. Appreciate it. Hey, thank you. Gotcha. Hey, Doug, how did you and Bingo meet? I was going to ask the same question. Oh, Doug gets his hand up first. Hold on.

I have my hand up. I'll hit the unmute button. We met after a show. She was taking care of a Helen Keller type of gentleman. My friend, I was hired to do this, but he was my dear friend. He had cerebral palsy. He was in a wheelchair. He was completely

deaf. He couldn't speak or read or write. But he could laugh inappropriately during the comedy show. He said he could laugh.

So you'd be saying, hey, so I flew in from Minneapolis, St. Paul, and then. I was trying to help my friend. That was a bad thing for a comic. I didn't know. I've been through this at other clubs where they bring special needs people in as laughter as medicine. And you go, well, I don't take

insurance. So, you know what? Why don't you bring those people to a doctor? Because they're just girthing and ruining this for everyone. At the wrong times. But I didn't know. I was trying to make my friends feel bad.

And so did you come up and apologize afterwards or something, Viggo? No, I had to take him to the bathroom. He wasn't even a headliner. Doug Stanton was nothing. He wasn't a headliner. He was a middle actor. I hadanton was nothing. He wasn't a headliner. He was a middle act.

I had to take my friend to the restroom where middle act was having a beer. Nothing. Long story short, then we fucked for a week and I didn't hear her for many years. She didn't call me until I was a headliner and she was getting out of a mental

institution with a bald head. And I left my wife for her. There's the book. Boom, there you go. But I like the fact that the whole while she has to keep reminding you that she thinks of you as the mid-level comedian, not the headliner.

That's who you are, Doug. Come on. That's how she knows you. Yeah, you want to have a breakfast domestic, I'm going to go gonna go hey who fucked middle acts not me you did you fucked the middle act honey i was working my way up all right this is my question dr drew i got labs this year for the first time i actually went to a doctor yeah because an old friend of mine from when i was a kid happened to my town

and i did the labs and i turned like my liver was after all this my liver is fine the only thing he found was high triglycerides and and this and that and uh since then low h what are you doing to for the drug asteroids okay well then then after i i i i did all the research i i i went no red meats i did this and that and then i went and i did

labs again three months later and everything was great and then bingo went to get her labs from our same guy and he goes don't forget you have to fast for 12 hours or eight hours whatever it was and i said you never told me i had to fast so my labs oh that's funny i come right from a fucking denny's breakfast the moon's over my hand he might have been in my

so now here's my question my liver has always been good for three labs over the last nine months until the last one. He said I had very high enzymes in my liver, and it was January 3rd or 4th. So it's right after a whole holiday bender. How long does it take for enzymes to build up or seed in your liver where you could blame it on a specific night or weekend it's pretty immediate like the next day your enzymes will be up right it's it's it's

sort of a toxic reaction to the so so the lab analysis of liver status is is, it's not an exact reflection of what's going on, right? So all we know is you had some alcohol-related injury to your liver. We have no idea what that injury was. Was it just an acute thing that the liver just gets over because it's highly regenerative? Or do you have some degree of fatty liver? Well, the way to assess the liver first is physical exam. Did he come in and press on your abdomen and measure your liver and look at your palms and these things that we do to sort of assess what the liver is doing?

Yeah. He works at, he's a family practitioner. He's not an MD. And he works at an outpost in Tombstone, Arizona, that literally looks like a small Fort Apache. And he was a medic. His whole history as a medic in the Army. But let's talk about it. I'll just say it's herpes and not look at it.

Shoulder herpes. That's what he told me. That's what he had on his shoulder. Shoulder herpes. Maybe it was shingles. Maybe it was shingles, though. Shingles is a type of herpes. Shingles, yeah.

That's why I'm self-diagnosed very well, and I think it's very mild. Shingles, good. Which can certainly happen. But liver, for a male, it's actually hard to get cirrhosis. Males don't get cirrhosis very easily. Sometimes they have enzyme deficiencies and things and can be prone to it. Women are about

five times more likely to get cirrhosis than men. So for men, what we typically get is something called fatty liver. And sometimes as part of that, you can get something called acute sclerosing hyaline necrosis. The simple name is alcoholic hepatitis. And you can give yourself an alcoholic hepatitis episode with a bad binge, but the problem with alcoholic hepatitis is it tends to move to cirrhosis. So most men just have you know acute fatty liver kind of thing which is the liver is just inflamed and enlarged that kind of thing

and and the oxidative state of the cells liver are pushed towards fatty acid production and that's not a healthy state to be in but it's a totally regenerative state to have been in all these things you can recur you can get better from, except cirrhosis. I was surprised that he found no signs of anything and then one time he's like, oh, wow, that's really high. He has to only be looking at...

Right. The triglycerides also can be associated with pain. The triglycerides can be associated with liver sometimes. It can be liver sometimes. It can be pancreas. Your pancreas doesn't like alcohol and it gets inflamed.

It can be associated with triglycerides. And a little known sort of fact about, not fact, observation about triglycerides and HDL is restricting carbohydrates make that better. That insulin may have a lot to do with HDL and triglycerides. HDL is restricting carbohydrates make that better. That insulin may have a lot to do with HDL and triglycerides. So there's my medical primer for the day. Alright, let me see if we got another. We have another call for you.

This is Jonathan. Jay Hemp, why aren't you calling in here? We got all these people over on the Rumble Rants. Yes. Somebody put the cirrhosis more common in females bingo bingo is a part of dyskinesia question if you can't get jay on the phone oh go go ahead you don't i don't see any evidence of that with her she looks you're not seeing it because i'm not walking around or like that's why I have this. That's why she's drinking out of plastic.

Yeah, I definitely, I have caught whatever. I have caught a dyskinesia for sure. And I am definitely self-medicating myself, I think, out of it because my doctor, whoever the guy is, wants to add more medications as Parkinson's disease medication to my totally packed medicated world to get me out of this. And I have tardigradesia from what I understand because of my psych meds. So adding another medication, I don't think it's going to help me so instead of that i have that medication but i don't take it i'm trying to i'm starting to

lower my medications to fix it myself i don't know what i'm doing well that's that's interesting i i i i generally i'm generally a fan of de-prescribing, right? I'm a fan of that. I'm doing it by myself, though. I think most people end up... Well, I know that's not so great, but people usually end up on too much medication and then doctors just leave them there.

And I'm a big fan of getting off everything you possibly can. The reason... Now, you know, tardive dyskinesia technically is usually face, mouth, that kind of thing. Tardive... Hang on. T tardive akathisia is the legs the moving of the legs all the time are you having the leg movement thing it started it started sounds noticed in my face for sure but it started really hitting me in the wrists and she's she's always had a little bit of this yeah yeah but yes yes and i i only noticed it because she had told me she's like she's drinking out of plastic now because she feels like she's going to drop glasses and that's when i saw a commercial about tardive dyskinesia

which i have always associated with the mouth when i make fun of elderly people in my act. So when I saw the commercial about a guy dropping things at the antique store he works at, I'm like, wow, I didn't know. It's definitely here. It really bothers me here. I will not take glasses. But it's in my

knees now. Yeah. If you feel like moving around all the time, that's more the akathisia. But there are two new medications that are good for it. I'll just tell you. It's Ingretza and Ostito. Those are the two meds that they typically use for these things. And that's the commercial that does.

Thank God they're advertising this medication on TV. Jonathan, you have to unmute yourself there you have to the anti Parkinson's yeah I saw that anti-parkinson which kind of goes

at the more akathisia type stuff so it's interesting but you talk to your doctor I'm in no position to go ahead there Jonathan I know where you are talked to your doctor i'm in no position to uh go ahead there jonathan i know i can't believe i'm talking to you hey man um huge fan of reels and ever since online days um i've got a question related to addiction uh something i don't think i've ever heard you mention is uh hoarding type behaviors is that in a an addiction symptom i've got a sister that's no no well i mean sometimes i mean hoarding can be associated with almost any mental illness right um but not typically

with addiction unless it is meth uh meth you know when you see people with lots of stuff hoarded on the streets and particularly when you see things dismantled, like they're taking apart TVs and radios and bicycles and stuff, that's always meth. So yes, it could have some relation to addiction, but that's not a typical addiction thing. So thank you, John. I'm going to try to get through a couple of people here quickly because there's a lot of people suddenly on the lineup here. This is Mini Mind dropped out. This is Andy. And I do have to wrap

in about five minutes, guys. It's so good to see you guys. When you're out here, please, please, please. It was just fun seeing you guys. I'd never met Bingo until we were at the Skank Fest. And it was a delight to spend time with her, I got to tell you. It was one of the highlights of the weekend for me, yeah.

That was so beautiful. Andy, what's up? Andy, Andy. Hey, Dr. Drew. Andy, Andy. Hey, Andy. Hey, Doug. Andy.

Hello. Come on. This is my best friend in the world. Hey, so I got a medical question i got this all right i had to think of one but i had have it i guess um and i wake up with like the stabbing pain on the top of where i had the whipple surgery done oh boy with that yeah it's so you see you see a pancreatic cancer? Yeah. You're listening to a dead man.

So a Whipple procedure, how long ago did you have the Whipple? Years ago. I can answer for him. Hang on, Dr. Drew. Andy is my best friend. Andy also has a podcast with Greg Chaley where this is part of the podcast is he's never getting connection

and he can't figure out shit. So I'll answer for him. All right, good. I don't know. He was out there. Anyway. So Andy is right that pancreatic cancer is very, very serious. And a Whipple's procedure is a massive operation.

It's one of the biggest operations that humans can go through where they essentially remove the pancreas and change all your plumbing, let's just say, from your liver, your small intestines. It's just a complete revision of of that region without getting into the details and i gotta say we are doing so much better with pancreatic cancer these days i don't know if you've had a bunch of chemo and stuff but man it is responding and kind of exciting what's happening there so i'm glad you're with us andy okay so can you write me a prescription for pain meds? No. Anyway, you know what that might be? Beautiful. Unpredictable, this pain.

And it comes on, and I don't know. I just feel it coming on, and all of a sudden I'm in pain. And is there a preventative pain med I could have so that it's a bummer? So I don't know about preventative, but it is a bummer. Go ahead, Doug. absolutely it's a bummer but it is a bummer go ahead doug we went to a lansing lug nuts uh triple a baseball game when we were on the road and he tried to catch a home run but it hit off of his his forearm and left his small wealth and he went to the uh the the medical tent and tried to get pain meds for the well-being

so yeah anytime there's pain meds andyandrus.com all your pain meds so here's the reality I mean of course with a massive operation like that you can have pain residually for sure he needs to go back to his

doctor make sure he doesn't have recurrence of the pancreatic cancer because sometimes that causes pain. But absolutely, I can't prescribe it. I'm not your doctor, but you should have pain meds for pain for your cancer patient. For Christ's sake, we've gone so far. Look, Mr. Mann, I was very worried about the opioid crisis and the overprescribing and all the bullshit that my peers did. But now people that have legitimate pain can't get pain meds. It's absolutely insane. I can't believe how pathetic we are in my profession.

We can't practice medicine properly. But here we are. We saw a whole group of remnants of that during COVID. Yeah, he wasn't not interested anymore at that point. But guys, it has been, as always fun hanging out with you guys i have to kind of wrap things up bingo privileged to see you talk to your doctor

by getting off those meds but i for sure i'm a deep prescriber cheers everybody susan is here she comes they're toasting you you can toast them back well he should have something to say first so hold on everybody she's coming on the mic sorry I had a big coughing attack and I had to run out of the room I was listening to all the old people talk about their problems this was very entertaining

I'm very proud of you guys for still being alive and I had to run out of the room because I'm choking on my own spit but you know it was a great show thanks for coming and we will hopefully hook up with you guys do you travel with Doug very much

Bingo when he goes around a lot we're going on tourism tomorrow we're going to Rochester Minnesota that doesn't lie to us across America we go everywhere for no reason Rochester, Minnesota. That doesn't lie to us. To get our teeth cleaned. Across America. We go everywhere for no reason.

Well, enjoy. Cheers. I'll see you guys. Hopefully soon. In an airport bar. 100%. Sooner the better. All right, guys.

See you. Love you guys. Thanks. Yeah, I love you guys you guys and always never disappoints I'd love to hear that interview he's doing with what's her name that was arrested in Italy Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox wouldn't that be interesting you should go on her show yeah yeah that's a story what a great little there's so much you could talk with her. After Doug does that... I remember, if you remember,

we were reporting it all the time on HLN. We were following that thing. I always felt she was innocent. That's why I still maintain that. But be that as it may, I got to run out of here. There's the upcoming show. Our next guest is Jim Brewer,

and he does not disappoint either. We have a big problem. Uh-oh. I couldn't find the tv controller oh why is that a big problem i don't know it just makes me feel old oh no you have to find it before you leave okay then this whole show made me feel old that you said that but okay uh isn't that a crisis when you hit your 60s? No, I don't think so. You forget where you put your teeth. All right, everybody. We will leave it at that.

We've got a lot of great guests coming up next week. I still have all my teeth. That's good news. We are out tomorrow because we are going to have to go to Florida. We're going to the Hall of Fame. The podcast Hall of Fame is in Orlando, and Drew is going to be giving Adam Carolla his official Podcast Hall of Fame award.

But, of course, Adam won't be there. And then we're going... He's sending a video. We're flying to Orlando. But Drew's going to be hosting it. And, by the way, it will be live. So we'll post the links up on Twitter. So if anybody wants

to watch the show, you can see a bunch of people you don't know and then Drew give the award to Adam. And then I believe we're doing Dave Rubin on Monday, right? Yeah, you're going to be on Dave's show. It turned into something good because Dave asked if we were going to be in Florida and I go, well, we'll be there on Monday.

He goes, let's do it. So we're going to fly down to Miami and I'm going to get a tan and maybe get rid of this runny nose. I have to go, ladies and gentlemen. We're out tomorrow. Oh, and Russell Brand show is going to drop. I did Russell Brand this morning. So if you're a Locals fan, you might have

seen the Russell Brand free, what does it call it? Free, stay free. Stay free, yeah. And we did it on Locals today. They're going to be uploading it on Rumble tomorrow. So you get to see the whole interview.

They schmoozed and they love each other again. And I was really happy about it. I couldn't sleep, but last night I was so excited about it. I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning and also dying. He left me a lovely voice message. I know. He wants to hang. So he'll be on this show soon. We'll have another comedian here. But I just want to say I love having comedians on this show sometimes.

It's nice. It went away when you were doing your mom's house because you did it all over there. But I really love having the humor here we do a lot of really important stuff but it's so nice that we have the opportunity to bring people in here and and chat about our lives and the fact that be happy that we're still alive we know we you and i know an uncanny number it's weird that's how i mean when we started your mom's house i had your 60th birthday and you gave me a rolodex i had my rolodex i was like shoot we know everybody comedians comedians yeah and everybody showed up and i was like this i mean

we can probably put a show together but drew and friends yeah and honestly honestly guys yeah honestly guys like during the whole uh pandemic and lockdown and everything pretty much comedians were the people that were speaking up and making fun of all that nonsense with lockdowns and mandates that's why i feel like comedians were a good year they were not they they yes you're right for a while they weren't i kept and i kept asking where are they they where are they? They normally speak up about something. They're still a little gun shy. I mean, I know that the topics here, like one of the questions they're going to ask,

we have to go to a fireside chat on Friday at this podcast Hall of Fame thing. They're like, are you able to monetize with the kind of content that you're doing? And I was like, I thought about it like we've done sex and COVID and somehow you've been able to stay alive. It is really hard. Guys, I do have to go.

But anyways, I'm just really excited. Theorize about our lives and careers. I'm just really excited to have comedians on and I hope that the fans like it too. I know I talk too much. Do you want them to send the information to contact if they do like it or if they want other comedians? Yeah, I mean, Joey Diaz is Jep's next. I don't have Joey Diaz in my phone.

We can get him. All right, you can try. You can try. All right, I'll try. I love Joey Diaz. Tom Segura would be great. I'd love to have him on, and also Christina as well. But, you know, they're so busy.
