Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, so last night was the first night of football, the Patriots versus the Steelers, and we packed out the new studio to the walls, and we raged and we partied, and I finally collapsed into a slumber on Xanax, and I woke up at about 10.45 this morning. And since I'm going to the UK, Brian has all of these interviews he sets up. And he just, rather than tell me every time, he just says, all right, if your phone rings at 11 a.m., it's an interview. So he just set up all my interviews at 11 a.m., which seemed reasonable until this morning.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I get a phone call, and it's two guys. Hey, hang on. We're just trying to figure out Skype because it's a podcast. I told them no. I told them no. You know, it was actually, yeah, and keep telling them no on podcasts and Skype stuff. But it was actually turned out well. I just jammed two cups of coffee down my
Starting point is 00:01:06 head as quickly as possible and started chain smoking and trying to figure out how to put words together. So, and now we have a journalist from... What happened? I bit myself.
Starting point is 00:01:20 From The Guardian in London, who actually flew out to spend the weekend here at the compound to write a story. Yay! And so I figured I'd do the same fucking thing to him that I had to deal with. You just walked off an international flight into Tucson, then did a two-hour drive down to Bisbee. It's like four o'clock in the morning your time. I think it's about four, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Yeah, so we threw a drink in front of your face and went, ha, ambush journalism. I've got a big gin and tonic right here. It's very nice. It's quite strong. I fucking told you. I told, never mind. Oh, I told Derek to get your camera so you don't start taking pictures
Starting point is 00:02:04 right in my face when I'm trying to talk. Sound good? Everything's great. Great. He can get a little closer on the mic. Not only. Just pull it. There you go.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Am I going to do ambush journalism straight into the fire? I'm going to interview me with all the same stupid fucking questions that uk journalists wake me up with what which is what like uh are you following what made you are you following the natural in the footsteps of uh hicks is that the usual one you get that's the one i get and uh evidently you as the tv critic for the uh for the guardian yeah is it true you replaced Charlton Brooker? Charlie Brooker? No one replaces Charlie Brooker. Well, you're in the same role that Charlie Brooker was.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Charlie Brooker, known as the Bill Hicks of TV reviewing. Everyone's the Bill Hicks of something, yeah. I didn't replace him. We were kind of parallel for a bit, and then he moved on to the stratosphere and is now incredibly famous. He is incredibly famous, and I'm proud to have him on my resume.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah, no, I gave those guys on that podcast shit about giving him shit, about putting me in the new Black Mirror. Black Mirror just got picked up, I heard, on Netflix. Oh, yeah. They're doing a new Black Mirror. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen those? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:34 The only one I haven't seen is the one I want to see is the Christmas one. Yeah. They did a Christmas special with Jon Hamm from Mad Men. Yeah, they did. Yeah, that was great. That you recently reviewed. Yeah. I've read some of your reviews. I'm familiar with your work.
Starting point is 00:03:50 You used a word un-ersine. Did I? Yeah. I want to know if you're going to be using big words like that in the story about me. Yeah, no, I am. What does that mean for my stupid viewers? Un-ersine. Would that be not like a bear, I am, yeah. What does that mean for my stupid viewers? Unearthing,
Starting point is 00:04:06 would that be, like, not like a bear, I think, probably. I don't know what that was. No, wait, it's crazy, people, because the story was about ghost bears. There you go. It was a review of a documentary, a slightly tepid documentary.
Starting point is 00:04:21 It's No Grizzly Man says, oh, I forgot to say your name sorry this is sam fuck sam fuck just looked it up it's right over there walliston walliston yeah walliston yeah well then oh uh yeah uh uh so how do you find the United States in the two hours and ten minutes that you've been here? Dark so far. We had some flashes of lightning coming over, which was exciting. And what might have been a coyote apparently running across the road. So we have we break out all the bells and whistles for you.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Both were very exciting. So, yeah, it's been good so far. Now, Sam, as a writer, I see that in the UK you use the letter U in words like favorite or color. Yeah. How are you going to make the transition to writing in America where we don't use those U's? Ah, just leave it out, I guess. That would be the simplest thing to do. Well, I guess
Starting point is 00:05:28 I have a whole list of these stupid fucking questions. Anyway. I left a... So you're staying at the compound. Fuck the stupid questions. Don't do that. The ones I always get
Starting point is 00:05:49 are the superlatives that you can't answer. What's the worst show you ever had? In 25 years, do you think one stands out? I would have to get shot at or something.
Starting point is 00:06:00 What's the worst review you ever wrote? The worst review I ever wrote? The bad one, I think. The ursine. That was pretty bad. I think you're just trying to remember one. I led the witness.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You must have watched some piles of shite. Yeah, but the question was, what was the worst review you've written? Not what was the worst thing I've watched. Oh, I see. Yeah, and I've watched a lot of shite as well either not right or or uh for political reasons like go soft on someone what what do you mean political reasons like you know the guy or yeah yeah i have to throw out a fluff piece yeah Yeah. Or, yeah, I've done that. I've done fluff because of various reasons.
Starting point is 00:06:47 That stinks. Yeah, it stinks. Yeah. I'm not proud of it. I have a lot of good friends that are comedians that you go, you know what? If I say you've got to go to this show, I feel partially responsible. And then sometimes you get a tweet. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah, I know. Yeah, I've seen the emails. What else do you get from the British interview? I just need to know so I can try and be different. Well, where do you get your ideas from? Where do you get your ideas from? Where does anyone get their ideas from? They come into your fucking head. Vending machines.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Do you shock for the sake of it do you get that probably yeah uh yeah i actually had that in my my dumb notes for you i've got that in my list of questions okay is any yeah what is what how far is too far and where do you draw the line yeah is that are there limits is there any tv you won't review? Yeah, there is TV I won't review. Is there? Like what? No, there isn't. I'll review anything.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Do you have carte blanche to review what you want? Or are you told you must review this show? So I get hints. They tell me a little bit. They steer me a bit. And sometimes I can... I like the idea they give you hints. Like it's a parlor game.
Starting point is 00:08:04 We'll give you a hint. Yeah, it's just a big parlor game basically my life is one big parlor game yeah it's all a big pile of stupid questions and a big pile of shit basically yeah that's what it is well okay let me think what was the most i'm interrupting you no no go ahead what was the most surprisingly good thing you ever watched like Like something you thought, this is going to be the biggest pile of excrement in the history of capitalism. I can't. Exactly. The thing where you watch people watching telly. That's very good.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Have you seen that? No. What? You watch other people watching TV. And that very good. Have you seen that? No. What? You watch other people watching TV. And that's television. It's called Gogglebox. And people have cameras on top of their TV watching you and then they put that on TV.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Honestly, the UK has the worst television. I do. Charlie Brook's television is quite good. But just to flip channels when you have no idea what's what, you stumble across. I would watch music videos over there, like MTV shitty,
Starting point is 00:09:13 just because there was no other options. Everything else looks like it's filmed. All those old Victorian soap opera-looking shows. And then what's the famous one, the trailer park-y one? Downton Abbey? No. EastEnders? Yeah, I think that's the one.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Coronation Street? Yeah, Coronation Street. These are on, like you have nine channels, but they'll repeat different shows. Wasn't that just on a different channel two hours ago? Awful. Dreadful. So I really sympathize.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I feel bad for what you have to do. Sit through British television. How many hours a day do you have to do it? Maybe five hours a day, probably. I watch. You must have just a litany of words for boring. Unursing is the main one.
Starting point is 00:10:14 There's not a thesaurus big enough to carry enough words for boring. I really thought it was nonursing, but it's definitely unursing. I don't know. I think I'm not proud of it now. The more you say it, the more I hate that word. It's bearable. What other questions did you have for me that you're worried about? Are you a misogynist?
Starting point is 00:10:38 I need to ask that early on. Yeah, I figured with The Guardian, you'd have to ask a lot of questions like that. No, I don't think so. But the amount of dudes that come to my show versus ladies might spell it otherwise. Maybe I'm just being read wrong. Is it a big high proportion of men at your shows? Yeah, I think our Facebook demographic is...
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's different in the UK. is it's different in the uk it's definitely different in the uk oh yeah that's i need to ask you about the uk and differences between uk audience that's is that okay to us that's the one that i actually i heard it one too many times not this morning but well also this morning but yesterday when i was really uh you know just i was coming out of safeway and i forgot so i'm sitting in my car and the guy came with that question and i just said that's the stupidest fucking question that was my second one after the yeah that's in every single interview and it's because there's really there's it's like saying what's the difference between a wednesday
Starting point is 00:11:44 show and a thursday show it depends like there's no but it might be quite interesting what but you know different uh what people find uh good about you in different places that i think it's not that boring i think it's i think it's interesting yeah and people do ask i guess it has some merit but they are generally a little bit more reserved. And I say that, and then I go to Glasgow, and it's fucking chaos. More reserved in the UK. Generally, yeah. But that has a lot to do with the venues.
Starting point is 00:12:16 When I was playing Leicester Square Theatre, it's a proper theatre, and people tend to treat it as such. But if you're in a comedy club, it can be absolutely brutal. It can be like black audiences here. So it depends on the venue. It depends on the night. Friday, Saturday is a bigger deal over there than it is over here. Everyone has their hands in their pockets Monday through Friday
Starting point is 00:12:41 and keeps their mouth shut and then drinks themselves into oblivion on Friday, Saturday. Where here you can get that on a Tuesday. You can get that same kind of chaos midweek. But again, it really boils down to more of the demographics of the actual show than you're in Scotland or you're in Wales. Yeah. Okay, you're right. It was a bit of a boring question.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It's, yeah. I liked it. I guess it's one you'd have to ask because people ask me over there. Yeah. First of all, how do you like it over here? Well, it depends.
Starting point is 00:13:17 This sandwich sucks. How do you like it over there? You know what? I'll ask you. How do you like it over there? I complain about the UK endlessly. And after 10 years or 12 years of going there, I think most of it boils down to alcohol.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Because that's what I base most of my day around is cocktailing. So just the minor differences in how I enjoy drinking make up for a huge portion of my opinion about the UK. They don't use ice. If they do, they're hollow cubes and only a few that melt quickly. You don't get a little straw like this. You have a measured shot. I don't know what little straw like this. You have a measured shot. What is it for? I don't know what to do with it. What is it for?
Starting point is 00:14:07 You know what? It just slips around the whole time. It's getting in the way. I sip out of it because when we're podcasting, the ice will rattle around. If I'm drinking, it's clumsier without the straw.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I just like the straw. That's the purpose of it, to stop the ice rattling. No, no. I can sip from it without having to tilt the glass. And I drink. I tend to measure my drinking better than I drink. Oh, you actually drink through the straw. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:39 It's very covert if you're listening and you've got headphones on like a lot of people listen to podcasts. Yeah. And you'll hear he doesn't like mouth noises from anyone or himself, and that cuts down the slurping. Also on stage, as your ice melts, if you're drinking out of the glass, then you'll get the errant half-melted cube in your mouth, and then you have to chew the fucking thing up in the middle of a joke. So technically, it works better. Yeah. But just i i like to drink out of that you don't have bar stools over there generally people stand at the bar stand up and wedge in drinking is standing up is good to drink i think yeah it's more it's this seahorse posture is built from sitting in a stool slumped over the bar slowly spilling my way
Starting point is 00:15:28 into it yeah another thing yeah i'll wait i have to say bacon bacon bacon bacon the world over drives you insane bacon yeah yeah he goes insane over bacon the The cured meat. Is that what we're talking about? Well, not Kevin. Have you had American bacon? Yeah. Strips, crispy? Yes. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Well, you hope you don't have it soon. You goddamn well. Put it on the list, Derek. It's on the list. Don't worry. We're going to go to a break soon because I never do podcasts sober, and this is my first drink. But I wanted to
Starting point is 00:16:05 just to fuck with you, put a mic in your face as soon as you flew 14 hours and drove another two and now we'll have some cocktails and relax and we'll be back after something Hey I'm going to the UK and Europe, the dates are at
Starting point is 00:16:23 DougStanhope.com we're doing uh england scotland ireland denmark iceland uh amsterdam norway i think we're even doing sweden go to doug stanhope.com but for the five weeks that i'm gone there's no way i'm gonna try to pack fucking podcasting equipment and trust brian the filthy uncut Scotsman to do it. He can't be Chaley. He will never be Chaley. So my thought was to have Chad Shank fill in for me for five weeks and be my guest host of the Doug Stanhope podcast.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Well, that's up to you, the listeners. If you'd like him to do that, tweet him at HD fatty at HD as in Harley Davidson, fatty F A T T Y. And if more people want him to do this and he gets more tweets, it will affect his ego and make him smile more when he's trying to not kill people at home. All-star podcast since you guys have bought those fucking football helmets or are buying those to pay for this. Coming soon, Andy Andrist and Christine Levine. Click. Hey, UK merch is on sale. Where? In the UK? No.

Oh, Jim Ether's doing posters too? We got posters. We have t-shirts. We have everything you need to go out in public naked. A poster to cover your genitals
Starting point is 00:18:15 and a t-shirt to cover your voluptuous man top. And go to DougStanhope.com and look for the merchandise page, My World Tour, asterisk, places that speak English that will still book me. Yeah. I heard about your cat, by the way. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. That cat was fucking great. It's the only pet that doesn, by the way. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. That cat was fucking great. It's the only pet that doesn't interrupt the podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:49 She was so good. Every other one starts barking or crying or... More boring questions. As soon as we went to break, everything we were saying, save it for the podcast. Oh, yeah. And now I can't remember why I said, all right, let's just go back. We were talking about your cat, weren't we? Oh, you were just... I can't remember why I said, all right, let's just go back. We were talking about your cat.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh, you were just, yeah, the cat that was miserable. Because, yeah, she was just kind of normal. And then I realized she was losing a lot
Starting point is 00:19:16 of weight. So I go, we should take her to the vet just to see. She seems a little skin and bones. And they, yeah, it was, yeah, water
Starting point is 00:19:24 built up on her. It's a yucky story so yeah like that we it was because we live in a small town the vet was about to close on friday on holiday weekend labor day here bank holiday for you and they weren't going to be open till tuesday so uh i wanted to spend the weekend with her before we put her because it's like 4.30 and they close at 5 and I go well she may get through the weekend so I don't have to grab her and race right back to the vet and put her down
Starting point is 00:19:54 and they go well she very well might live that but if she doesn't she's going to suffocate to death and it's going to be brutal so I just had to run and try to make it before five. Like, all right, hurry up, get in the car, going to kill you. So, yeah, it stunk. It was a bad death.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Did you feel it was a good death? If it weren't so rushed, were you like, I'm going to kill you before they close? They didn't have a minute to spend. You were basically the couple walking into a restaurant five minutes before they close. They didn't have a minute to spend. You were basically the couple walking into a restaurant five minutes before they close and wanting to order a full meal. Yeah, and they have to kill your cat to feed you. Sorry, you're the one who came back from break. You said you had some other questions.
Starting point is 00:20:46 No, I didn't. Yeah, I had more questions. From my dead cat, my face. No, I know. Captain fucking rainy. Cloudy day. But euthanasia is one of your things, isn't it? I mean, you've often talked about it.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Yeah. And it just happens. And it's so much easier. This time we're talking about a cat. Yeah, with people it's easy because you have a dialogue. You have a communication. You're not putting all of your own emotions onto, okay, what's the cat feeling? And trying to figure out this fantasy world of what you believe a cat wants or needs or is aware of.
Starting point is 00:21:21 But you felt that the cat would have wanted that. Yeah, rather than suffocate to death. Drowning in its own fluid, right? Right, just like mother was. Because you did have a similar experience with your mother. Right. But I could talk to my mother. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:39 She wasn't confused or conflicted about what she wanted. But a cat, you go, hey, that's my best pet. I keep yelling at my other animals, it should have been you, Ichabod. It should have been you. Should it have been this one? Any one of them at any given time. The other one, the black dog hates me. She's left me for the Chalice.
Starting point is 00:22:04 These are the Chalice, by the way. The Chalice. Greg and Tracy. Oh other one, the black dog hates me. She's left me for the Chalice. These are the Chalice, by the way. The Chalice. Greg and Tracy. Oh, so yeah. That's his last name. Yeah. The black dog lives down there. Ichabod just stays under my feet, waiting for food to drop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:20 The other cat's pretty good. He's my new favorite. I go back and forth. But the other one, the cat that died, I would always say right in front of my pets. Trousers is my favorite. Why can't you be like Trousers? Trousers was the cat's name. The dead cat, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:38 The dead cat, yeah. Do you have pets? I know you have that son, Jack. How do you know that? I do fucking research. Yeah, I have a son, Jack. You don't like them, do you, sons, much? Kids, no.
Starting point is 00:22:54 No. Babies, worse. I have a baby as well. Charlie Brooker's got a baby now. Is that why you don't work with him anymore? You know what? I've only met Charlie Brooker maybe three times. I've never met him.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I might work with him. Oh, wow. But I've never met him. But he has babies now, so maybe he's gone over to the dark side. They all do. They all eventually do. Even Joe Rogan has kids, who I thought would never have kids. I don't know who Joe Rogan is.
Starting point is 00:23:26 That's alright. The listeners do. Okay. Who's Joe Rogan? He was the host of Fear Factor. He was my co-host on The Man Show. He's probably most known for he's the commentator on UFC.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yeah, okay. I know who Joe is. I know who he is. Yeah, I know. I know who he is now. Yeah, no. I have them, yeah. I'm going to ask you how old you are, but since you're British, I'm going to let everyone guess silently. I will go with 38 because you look 50,
Starting point is 00:24:02 and that's a British thing. What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? Yeah, what do you mean by that? No, British thing. They age harder. Harder years. Does that make me misogynist?
Starting point is 00:24:15 What did you say? Age like women? Age like women. Quickly. Yes. Yeah, yeah. I'm 50. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:24:23 All right, see? That's how I look your age. Oh, great. I'm 50. Oh, fuck. All right, see? That's how I look right now. You look your age. Oh, great. Well, that's good. How old are you? 48. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:32 You did some research. I did my research, yeah. I used to work at the carnival. You look younger, see? You look... Well, that's why I stay in bar light. Yeah. Wait till you wake up next to me. they wouldn't sell us the bar lights until he
Starting point is 00:24:47 put in a bar so here's the deal this is what uh sam uh flew into not knowing what he's flying into yeah not only is it opening weekend of football but andy andrist and christine levine are doing a show tonight in tucson and then after show, they're coming down for the whole weekend. Sam's here the whole weekend. So the entire place, including the Shitty Dell trailer park, the Tin Can Rehab trailer, I actually got a second one that matches it. So there's two down there. There's the rape trailer.
Starting point is 00:25:20 There's the guest house. So you're in the guest house. I'm in the guest house. Yeah. Thank you. The little house. Yeah. And Andy and Christine. Yeah. Thank you. The little house. Yeah. And Andy and Christine, you don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Andy Andrist is just a pile of falling down problems. He's the funniest guy in the world, but he's... Is he the unbookable? Yes. Yeah. They were both unbookables. Unbookables. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:41 And they're traveling with two other comedians, which I didn't know about. So the two other comedians, this place is jam-packed. Why didn't you get them on your podcast? Because comedians are funny, not the jet-lagged British journalists. Yeah, yeah. We can follow this up. You know what? We can do part one now, and then part two at the end.
Starting point is 00:26:02 It's going to pick up, I think. We really don't have any bosses. We can do whatever we want. Okay. Yeah. It was a suggestion. If we start it with this, we can end it, part two, in the same podcast Sunday night after you've experienced this wall of chaos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:20 This drunken tornado of comics. Yeah. this drunken tornado of comics. I think most of the time they'll probably be scouring the streets of Old Bisbee looking for drugs because that's what they do. I'm not really much of a drug guy anymore. And what would you find in Old Bisbee if you were looking for drugs? Andy would huff off a gassy rag if he couldn't find anything else. I'm being facetious. But yeah, they'll look for shitty stepped on Bisbee cocaine probably.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Or across the border. Yeah, or if they go across the border and just get Ritalin or Adderall. That's on my list of shitty British questions to ask about. It is? The border, I think. Oh, yeah. There's absolutely no problem. In fact, I tweeted during the Republican debate.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Trump seems to be a lot about that border, doesn't he? Yeah, he's huge on the border. So while he was talking, I went outside and took a picture of a monsoon cloud coming over a sleepy hill behind my house and said, this is coming in illegally over the border, Mr. Trump. How can you stop it? And then I didn't want, I didn't do it because I didn't want to creep the guy out. But my landscaper was working on the lawn across the street. He's a white dude.
Starting point is 00:27:46 I wanted to take a picture of my white landscaper here on the border. Stealing American jobs? Really? We're on the border. I got a fucking white landscaper. Yeah. They stay over here and steal their jobs or something. Yeah, I didn't want to just be some weird guy going hey do you mind if I take a
Starting point is 00:28:09 picture of you weed whacking but there's no border problems I've never well there's sea border patrol there's three borders in the area there seems to be a border within quite a long way within the States. Oh, they can fuck with you up to 100 miles
Starting point is 00:28:28 from the border. That's the Border Patrol's jurisdiction. So you have checkpoints you'll go through on the way out where they'll ask you if you're a US citizen and you can either lie and use it. Can you do an American accent? No, I can't. Brian can do one, but he
Starting point is 00:28:43 won't in front of us no he did it to me on the show to me it sounded good it was probably dreadful i'm sure it's good but he refuses to uh unleash it for us oh well i've heard it so occasionally before he got uh his green card whatever, going through that border, depending on if we were in a hurry to get to the airport, he'd be like, I'm American. Oh, really? Yeah. But he won't say it. Hey, Joe.
Starting point is 00:29:13 He won't go into discourse in front of us. Yeah. But that's how you – it's like a Venus flytrap for drugs because if friends come in with drugs, you don't get stopped. But on the way out, they have dogs. So all the drugs stay here. They can't leave. Yeah, you don't want to leave with drugs. Not through the checkpoint.
Starting point is 00:29:37 They get dogs. Unfortunately, it's weed that they're smelling. And I don't smoke weed, so I don't get anything good. But Derek, our house boy over there smokes day and night are you a pot smoker or can you say on the air uh i i i can i like the occasional joint yeah all right yeah i smoke pot i guess you're a bit more liberal about shit like that uh yeah it seems drug test you to write at the guardian no no it wouldn, it wouldn't do that.
