Starting point is 00:00:39 We one time, when Chad is over here, just get him to fucking say podcast and enunciate the T. I have it. I just, I haven't. You have it? You just do it to annoy me the tea. I have it. I just haven't. You have it? You just do it to annoy me. No, I have to. My dander. There's a lot more involved than just putting it.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I have to reproduce the opening credits. You reproduce everything. Yeah, I guess so. Listen, we just did two podcasts in a row to promote andy's thing we did the drinking bros and then we did anthony cumia which i did i forget to mention to anthony cumia that andy said oh after you do the drinking bros to promote my works because and Andy was getting some kind of medical testing done. He couldn't show up for these gigs. So I sat in for Andy.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Like, oh, well, we could cancel it, but oh, if Stanhope will come on in his stead, we'll do it. With Paul Provenza. And I don't mind doing that. I fucking love promoting Andy. Yeah. And andy did get
Starting point is 00:01:46 out of his medical testing to show up for both of them late on the first and then he was there for the second uh point being what was my point raider i have no idea we just did two podcasts in a row promoting him and i forgot to tell cumia that after i agreed to do this for andy andy called me back hey oh about the first one drinking bros he said hey would you mind uh doing one right after the drinking bros with anthony cuomo and i went all right like I have no idea why. And I didn't even, it took me 20 minutes to put together that he had fucked up Kumi,
Starting point is 00:02:29 his last name, because it's Andrew Cuomo, not Anthony Cuomo. But it's Andy. So you're like, I guess. Like,
Starting point is 00:02:38 I've actually done Opie and Anthony when that fuckhead Carlson Tucker back when when it was in the days where they did Crossfire and it was that fucking wet lip man
Starting point is 00:02:51 and bow tied Tucker when he wore a bow tie and I'm like you're a piece of shit I was just a guest but he called in and I'm like what a piece of shit this guy is and they're like no no no no he's a friend but anthony's like anthony uh cuomo or kumia yeah he's right wing right i don't want
Starting point is 00:03:13 to put wings on people okay i have i believe that everyone is far right and i'm not what are you how are you supposed to say it no he's he's got opinions that would lean far right. But I believe that everyone's pragmatic. It's everyone else that's putting everyone into fucking corners and sides. Like, no, I don't think Cumia would be like pro-life. But he leans in whatever way the fucking wind blows yeah he he leans well that's not right yeah he's got opinions but i believe he's like me without putting any effort into figuring it out because i don't give a fuck what he believes i believe that like i i know how like skank fest a legion of skanks and those people are pigeonholed into
Starting point is 00:04:09 right wing when I think they're just being pragmatic about specific issues but you can't do that anymore you can't believe this well I went through it. I'm fucking old. I've watched every one of these issues be cyclical or disappear. I mean, I remember when fucking Reagan was like running for office and homelessness was an issue. Well, what is homelessness ever been an issue when it should be? But everything else, fucking priest molestation cyclical they act like it's a fucking new thing every time i'm an old man yeah they just keep rerunning the same episodes of the news that's why i love i i'm sure i've talked about it but i keep buying old issues
Starting point is 00:05:01 of random usa todays that I can read on airplanes. And I thought it would be funny because I always dress like a 70s fucking Herb Tarlick asshole in my plaid suits. And I thought it'd be funny to just read these fucking newspapers. And then I do actually read them on the plane. And it's amazing that the stories are the same fucking stories and only kids get upset about it and then you like that old t-shirt or if you if you ever went to the boardwalk at wherever fucking city you lived and you bought the dumb t-shirt there was the one i used to be disgusted
Starting point is 00:05:42 now i'm just amused that was like a cliched bumper sticker of the late 70s, early 80s. And I'm the opposite. I used to be amused. And now I'm disgusted that nobody knows. This is just the same bullshit over and over and over again. Fucking Chaley. Did you see what he just did? Chaley put a clock on me like I'm at a funny bone and there's tabs coming out at the end.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I'm supposed to give you the light at a certain. Evidently. At 20, you know, to do a break. And I know it takes less time for me to edit. I understand that. But it's the first time you put a clock on me. Like clock going up he just bought when we work a funny bone or a helium or a fucking uh a jazz fest or a improv they come back what time does he want the light and you go he doesn't need a light he goes
Starting point is 00:06:34 and now you just gave me the fucking the clock no that's not it at all all right well here comes bingo i heard the car door shut bingo's coming in fucking hot. Yeah, we got ads to do today. So, you know, we'll just take a break at 20 and 45. StageMan Underpants. You know what I said? I called Tracy. The Chaley's were in Sierra Vista doing whatever they do there. And I checked the mail.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And there was a big UPS fucking USPS, eBay, whatever package. I go, did you just order a stage man underpants? Because I just checked the mail and there's a giant package there for you. And then I cackled hilariously and she didn't laugh. Stage man underpants. That's a plug. hilariously and she didn't laugh. StageMan underpants. That's a plug. Go to stageman.com. Promo code
Starting point is 00:07:30 Stanhope. See? I already got one of our ads out of the way. 10% off. 10% off? Yeah. Use the promo code Stanhope. Is that coming out of our money? Not out of our ad, no. Anyway, so yeah, we did the Not Cuomo Cumeo podcast podcast and we're promoting andy's shit
Starting point is 00:07:48 yeah he might have pancreatic cancer he might just be uh bored and found a spot who goes to doctors because the drinking boys bros drinking bros is that the podcast you're on the first one was the drinking bros and i go because i fucking killed a bottle of champagne just during the drinking bros and they were drinking water no one of them was drinking water because you just got the other one was drinking water too he was the one i was talking to where i go drinking bros like if you guys were on the uh the the saturday morning uk podcast where i didn't edible and started drinking at 8 a.m that put me on tilt for three days i was fucked i was fucked before the podcast ended so when they go hey will you fill in for andy because he might have pancreatic cancer or he might not.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I go, yeah, I'll do it. It's the drinking bros. I go, what time is that? Hoping it would be an evening hour. Well, no, it was 1 p.m. my time. I'm like, well, I don't want to get drunk again like I did Saturday on that UK thing and fuck up three days. I don't recover quickly.
Starting point is 00:09:05 You were drunk when you woke up, though. I mean, you basically had about three or four emotions. Yeah, it's the weekend. All right. So, I mean, it wasn't just that. I had the bird cloud ladies. Yeah. Bird cloud adjacent ladies.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. Drinking Bros is Ross Patterson, Jared Taylor, Dan Holloway. They were very cool. were great they did try to initially they were talking about fucking uh medical issues oh yeah the guy did just spend six weeks in a hospital with pneumonia double pneumonia and he has i got holes because i gave him shit like why am i drinking at 1 p.m.? I'm going to ruin my whole fucking day being drunk. And you guys aren't even drinking. Well, I just spent six weeks in a hospital.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I only been out of the hospital for 36 hours. I have holes up and down my chest. I was in a coma for a week. Still, that's not enough reason for me to be drinking on a drinking bros podcast where you're not drinking the drinking bottle water. I get it. You can't do it. Then change the name of your podcast to drinking occasionally until this is all healed up. But they immediately went into fucking because I made a a point about, why can't you go to, because they brought up insurance and all this, and medical insurance, and I go, yeah, when I have a handyman on the handyman's van, not a licensed contractor, why can't I do that with a doctor a doctor who's lost his license for some bullshit
Starting point is 00:10:47 reason not really licensed as a doctor anymore but he'll charge less and come to the house why can't i just take that risk it's fucking bullshit and then we i realized we're not here about me we're here about promoting andy Andy Andrus special and upcoming documentary. But then I remember my fucking I'm wearing reading glasses, which is all I can see when I'm looking at myself on a Zoom podcast is the reflection of the lights. And should I take off my reading glasses and squint? But then it made me think the bullshit thing, which I've tried to do bits about, but it's too Jerry Seinfeld.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Why for my actual glasses, do I have to spend $175 to $250 for a test, but reading glasses, I can buy for $1.99 at Ace Hardware. Why couldn't I just put on actual glasses and go better like this or like this? Is that not the same with reading glasses that you buy at Ace Hardware? Then your prescription glasses, it's the same thing. Then I started to go into that tirade and paul prevenza cut me off by
Starting point is 00:12:06 talking about what we're there for andy andrest it's like a fundraiser or something but they kept going you know yeah remember why we're here but they cut from the fucking why can't i get treated by a doctor who doesn't have a license if i i if i know he has no license like a not a licensed contractor they cut into yeah and then they burned down the fucking christmas tree at fox news so that's uh the war on christmas has started so i didn't even have to worry about andy andrews i'm like you're just gonna cut into fucking you fucking stop buying into wings just like anthony cumia i think you're being pragmatic but the drinking brothers just went right into hillary clinton and fucking this i'm like we're just talking about stuff stop buying
Starting point is 00:13:01 into right wing left wing yeah stop buying there Stop buying into wings. There's no fucking wings. Let's not get chicken wings into this. You don't need teams. And they had fucking team fucking. They had the same OJ Simpson jersey framed, which I go, oh, fuck it. I have the same OJ Simpson because me and Valentina swapped Hernandez jersey for OJ Simpson. Murderers in the NFL. And I go, I have the same thing, but you probably have it for all the wrong reasons. At the beginning, they kept trying to make it partisan.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And yeah, there's no parts. Stop. Stop feeding into left wing right wing republican democrat conservative have the fucking opinion that you have and then shut the fuck up about hillary clinton what's fucking hillary clinton is like a paris hilton parasite of your mind. There's no such thing as, yeah, you believe in what you believe in pragmatically. Just go with the subject. This is what Andy got booked on? The Drinking Brothers show?
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah, because he said. Who booked that? Paul Provenza. That's what he does. Where's the connect? That was a very funny part of the Paul Provenza part. And I never got it in because he was talking uh where they go one q me he goes when i first heard that paul provenza and doug stanhope were uh collaborating on a project i'm going what
Starting point is 00:14:42 could this be about and i i didn't get in the dig at provenza like when is paul provenza ever done a project that's just about paul provenza the aristocrats the fucking like he has all these things that are having other comics and he just produces it hey would you do a thing i have no part in it except directing it. What was the book he did? Oh, I guess that was about the aristocrats or whatever. Yeah, Paul Provenza is a king of... I'm going to take your story and run with it.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Oh, yeah. I mean, Andy's not going to take his story and run with it. I know. I'm not saying it, but I wanted to get the dig in it. Provenza, he said like three projects he's got a book and a thing and about yeah here's what other comics want to say about this not me well comics routinely uh don't have that uh drive to always push through the to get the project done yeah Yeah. You said that plenty of times. I always remember Henry Phillips had the greatest idea, but it's so hard to do, was to have a coffee table book of open micers
Starting point is 00:15:56 that have one solid blow it out of the room joke and they don't know it. And the rest of their act is shit and they do open mic and they have that one bit that every professional comic has gone, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Why didn't I write that? Or they steal it. Yeah. Either way, just a coffee table book of that guy's one shining moment. I wish I could remember. That'd be a good title.
Starting point is 00:16:26 My one shining moment. One shining moment. that'd be a good title my one shining moment one shining moment yeah and it's just the one liner that they got i i i can't why do you get paul provenza to do it he's too he's too tenured to go to open mics but yeah i remember so many open mic jokes that like oh yeah it's this one guy used to say and he had nothing else this fucking beautiful idea and it takes a paul prevenza to put it in motion i'm not shitting on paul i just wanted to shit on him in that moment like you were at first i'm like yeah yeah why why make fun of a guy who's helping other people realize an opportunity to get themselves out there? Andy's not going to do any of this on his own. And some of these things wouldn't get done unless a producer got behind it and made everything, like connected the dots.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Provenza is a mover and shaker where Andy is shivering and occasionally moving. But yeah, it was fun, but I still feel like it's Saturday morning where I got up. It was my idea to do that, and I got up still drunk. The happy hour? Yeah. You did not get up. I had to wake you up twice before you got into here.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Which, first of all, is a rarity for me. He shook me awake and I didn't wake up. Like dead person. Like junkie thing. Like 20 minutes before we were going to start. And I'm like, there's no way he's not up. If you shake me. He would not even move.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Like I wake up when Bingo farts. So for me to not wake up being shook. Yeah. So I was 15 minutes late to the podcast the second time he woke me up. And I took an edible immediately. Edible immediately. And I don't remember much of that Saturday at 8 a.m. until I started washing dishes on Monday. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:18:32 So Saturday afternoon to Monday afternoon? Every glass and coffee cup had been used after football Sunday. And Monday, I'm like, i can't deal with this and then i i did i stopped counting after 40 glasses what the fuck that's like our inventory of glassware and it was the only time i've never made anything to eat like i didn't eat only because michael bean showed up was the only reason i got out of bed. Raider told me, yeah, Bean's here because I'm watching on security camera. And I walked up here.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah. At the afternoon game. Yeah, by the time you showed up. But I'm like, I'm not getting out of bed for this. I'm fucked from Saturday happy hour. The next day, Bean's here. Fuck. Now I have to get up. uh yeah i get up and we had a actually
Starting point is 00:19:28 a really fun day with bean uh but then by fucking monday then like every fucking glass like i want to take my vitamins i gotta cup your hand yeah Starting out a whole stack of drinks. Yeah, you can't drink out of the tap here. This is a mining town. They put cyanide in those fucking mines to get the copper out. I'm not OCD, but yeah, you live in a mining town. Don't drink the tap water. It's pretty much a given. Bingo?
Starting point is 00:20:03 Good God, this bingo. What a fucking weekend. We're still doing pillow things oh my god i have so many projects i'm supposed to be off of work i'm supposed to be on vacation and i can't do it i don't even know where to go i've been looking up flights on delta like where could we go because i don't i have this show on New Year's in Vegas. Come to Christmas with my family. Not your family. Good Christ, no. You would love it.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Every year, we got to do another eBay pod yard sale. I already talked to Kelly about that. Yard sale. I already talked to Kelly about that. Well, Jennifer Bean said, oh, I can pull up Michael Bean stuff from The Abyss and all the fucking his movies if we want to do a duo yard sale, eBay yard sale.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Oh, I'm into it. I'm like, I don't know that anyone else is because it really is a pain in the ass to do. It is awful to do. It's at least a day of photo shoots for you. So it's basically you just putting on clothes. I know. Changing clothes.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Other people are doing a lot of work. I think we're going to get Paul Provenza in on this one too. Really just knock it out of the park this year. This is 2022. It's not happening this year. Changing clothes fucking 15 times in a day? I don't shower for weeks at a time. It's a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:21:30 It is. You're right. You know, that movie is... I just got a call from Brian Hennigan and yelled at him. But yeah, it's in play. What movie? Some movie I'm starring in that Dane Cook... That Dane Cook said he would not be part of.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Ask Paul Provenza. It's got to be someone younger than me. So, yeah, I'll be filming a movie for all of February in Chicago. February in Chicago. We used to go to the Halloween convention in February in Chicago. We used to go to the Halloween convention in February in Chicago. And they moved it. Not much better, but they moved it away from February into March. That is a fucking miserable time to be out there.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And we were just outside from getting in the car, from the car to the venue. I think if Dan Cook actually read the script, he'd probably do it, but it's probably not within his budget of the opposite of that. You know what I'm saying? For that money, no. It would be a day of shooting.
Starting point is 00:22:44 But, all right, we have eight seconds left before I'm looking at the timer. So who would, if there was a 21-year-old comic that was playing my son, who would it be? Tweet at me or at DougStanhope.com or Doug at DougStanhope.com. Yeah. Guy who looks younger than you. A 21-year-old. My son shows up.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I'm a 54-year-old alcoholic, dying of liver failure, still doing $500 fucking one-nighters in the Midwest. Junior stop. He's 38 years old, and I think he can't be that young. Yeah, we need a 21- old it's weird they're taking my uh they're they're they're i'm starring in this it's gonna suck it's gonna be the fucking this movie is gonna be the reality it's gonna be a documentary of a 54-year-old comic that's still doing shit gigs, dying of liver failure. Where did they get that idea from? And I'm going to die of liver failure at the end.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Maybe Sam Talent. No, I'm saying this is your life. Maybe Louis C.K. This is, they just listen to the podcast. Maybe Crazy Heart. Yeah, there's a... Crazy Heart. crazy heart yeah there's a crazy all right i have to i have to stop because the clock that chaley pointed at me to be a fucking dominatrix hey i'm gonna do some announcements i'm gonna put
Starting point is 00:24:15 on my uh announcement uh voice hey hey this is brought to you, I'm practicing. Please hold.

Turn around. I'm pointing through you. Turn around. Do I turn around too? No. Anyway, we decided not to have the escort. I got a good email. From an escort? Yeah, from an escort saying, hey, I heard on one of your podcasts you were
Starting point is 00:27:03 looking for an escort to come on and couldn't find one. And the only thing that I could think of that we know is years ago when Chad Shank was on the road with us in Montana, we've talked about the story where we went to like whatever fucking Bozeman Montana's weekly thing that had escorts like old school escorts in the back of the weekly paper that you call it. Didn't our contact in sound know a number to call?
Starting point is 00:27:38 No, we were going through the fucking weekly. I can't remember if it because we called a bunch and none of them would come on the show i'm like you don't have to do anything we just want a guest to talk you can be anonymous you can uh no i'll suck your cock but i'm not gonna talk openly this podcast do i put it inside me or does it shoot something oh margo margo 80 year old local attraction margo one of the eight wonders of the world margo that she's still alive and six foot two and a man that's a woman pronouns fuck pronouns Get me tequila. So she must have heard one of those stories.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Like, I'm very cogent. I've been an escort for 10 years. I'm 29 years old. I'm happy to go on the podcast. I haven't gotten back to her because I keep forgetting that she's getting back to me. And we were going to do that today. But I'm like, not after those two podcasts in a row. This is three podcasts in a row.
Starting point is 00:28:54 This is my problem, Chaley. This is a Johnny Depp question. Hey, listen, Johnny Depp once told me he's never acted sober. I'm like, I don't know how I'm going to do a full month of February. You understand, filming a movie where I'm in every scene, because I'm the lead, I don't do anything sober professionally. Because it's like 16 hours a day of sitting after day day after day and and most of
Starting point is 00:29:33 it's sitting in a trailer while they're fucking reconnoitering all the fucking camera angles and then you go out and you do fucking three lines and then they go lines, and then they go, okay, break. And then they have to film you from behind saying the same thing. And then you're just faking. That does not work the same way comedy works. Comedy, you get perfectly drunk. Once you've perfected stand-up, okay, I'm going to have five drinks beforehand, two drinks on stage, and then if you're not doing merch, you go right back to the hotel and you drink yourself into a slumber. You don't drink.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Okay, call time, 7 a.m. Have your shit together. Well, I'm not really good at 7 a.m. We already saw how that turned out last week. Yeah. For the call time that you called. Yeah. Stan Hope, I'm going with you and all of my extended relatives live in Illinois.
Starting point is 00:30:37 And they're planning to come and we'll spend all the extra time with you. It'll be great. You're fucking Illinois. I used to uh when the usa today was still a thing that's how long bingo and i have been together that's gross i would i would i would point to the the weather map like they used to have the big weather map. And I would point to a state. I'd go, what state is that? Or point out Maryland. And she'd point at Alabama.
Starting point is 00:31:12 She has no idea. Yeah, your relatives in Illinois are far down the map, closer to the Ku Klux Klan than they are to the Windy City. Wait, but Illinois. And it's February. It's just the same state, right? Yeah. Or is she confused at where her family lives?
Starting point is 00:31:29 The point is, that state goes way down south. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And her fucking relatives... Is that one of my relatives? Oh, shit. I gave him your phone number. I answered instead of swiping and saying, I'm doing a podcast.
Starting point is 00:31:41 I'll call you back. Bye. Bye. Who's that? Valentino. Oh. I'll call you back. Bye. Bye. Who's that? Valentino. Oh. I swoped the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I swoped left. So, yeah, they're not going to be driving in fucking Illinois in the winter. They don't drive any of the red bicycles. I asked, fucking Michael Biehn was so brilliant on Football Sunday, and I'm'm like we just re-watched the abyss like yeah if I saw that script and it said I had to get inside of a fucking scuba suit I would go no I don't care I'll be a superstar and a millionaire no I'm too fucking paranoid. And that, as a young man, I would go, no. I was telling them, we did those hidden camera gags. There was one we did where they wanted me to get into a body bag for a gag.
Starting point is 00:32:37 And I'm like, they zipped it up to my chin. And I'm like, no, get me out, get me out. I'm too claustrophobic. And The Abyss, the claustrophobia involved. When I got this script, they go, it's 25 days in February in Chicago. I go, fucking no way. Then I read the script and I go, all right, I have to do this. Maybe you should just call Paul Provenza and he can work things out for you.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Why don't you shut your fucking mouth? British Jonathan leaving town. Did he leave the other day? Saturday he leaves. Oh. He told us to watch this. Bingo slept through the whole thing. Did I?
Starting point is 00:33:15 What was it? HBO. HBO. The actual HBO. Not HBO Max. Not HBO Max. Not HBO Plus. Not HBO Diamond Medallion
Starting point is 00:33:29 Status. I fucking I had a brilliant conversation with our friend Fred who's 81 years old and is more spry than most of my audience who are fucking drunk in their
Starting point is 00:33:46 fucking El Caminos tailgating before shows about all the fucking oh yeah it's on Paramount Plus or fucking Zoo TV or whatever you watch your fucking XFL games on whatever that car racing
Starting point is 00:34:02 yeah why don't you put those all on like a cable network where you get ESPN Plus and a fucking Showtime alternative and all these things. Can I just buy like cable? Because cable sucks, but so do most of all these other streaming services.
Starting point is 00:34:23 CISO is the only streaming service. That one special I put out on CISO is the only one that died. Every other streaming fucking... We already talked about this. Did we? Quibi also died. Yeah, it was on the podcast with Chad.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I thought Quibi fucking... Are you sure? All right. Tell us something we don't know. What did Jonathan tell you to watch hbo it's actually on hbo cable direct tv which does suck and everyone should cancel it it's a hbo life of crime 1984 to uh uh 2020 was there a lot of murder or not? Well, you slept through the whole thing. If there was murder, I would have stayed awake.
Starting point is 00:35:08 No, you didn't. You didn't even stay awake. Were there guys beating his wife openly? I love that shit. Yeah, but you fell asleep. Okay. Yeah, that is fucking dark and grim. They follow three junkies from
Starting point is 00:35:23 1984 in Newark new jersey until 2020 the same ones like that's so amazing that documentarians and when you hear them like there's a lot of it you go all right you you set this up uh but to follow the same people for 36 years and spoiler alert, at the last minute, all of them are dead.
Starting point is 00:35:56 So they basically did the documentary from the beginning and they were all dead. Yeah, well they it would have been until 2030 if one of them was still alive. But yeah, I wish there was a documentary about making the documentary. I said that before you even fell asleep. Yeah, I remember what you said, everything you say.
Starting point is 00:36:20 We should just go to bed. I think I need to go do a another 30 days in the hole before this movie because i have no idea how i'm gonna fucking do that i mean this is three podcasts in a row and it's only been three hours how am i gonna do six hours pretending to be a 54-year-old washed-up alcoholic. Everyone says, yeah, well, you're just basically playing yourself. Well, I'm not myself in a 24-hour period. You guys know that. If you fucking walk into the house at 10.30 a.m'm not talking i'm doing a usa today crossword puzzle
Starting point is 00:37:08 and i don't want to fucking hear what chaley has to say about business at 10 30 5 30 at night i'm jovial i'm on my fourth cocktail yeah you're lubed up yeah and as we're wrapping that day's shoot, I'm going, fuck you, Chaley. Fuck bingo. Oh, Raiders still awake? Fuck you. Well, you should time the scenes with my alcoholism. I know I'm playing an alcoholic, but alcoholism has its own timing. If I want yeses, I ask you around 5, 30.
Starting point is 00:37:46 If I want noes, I know exactly when to get a no. I know people, I'm not dropping names, but I know people that ask me things specifically when I'm drunk because they can say, you said yes. I don't trust you, Bingo. But yeah, well, you said I could't trust you, Bingo. But, yeah. Well, you said I could go on the road with you.
Starting point is 00:38:09 When? What? We just talked to someone today about that. We did? I don't know when I... You were on two other podcasts, and we don't know what you guys talked about. I think it was a phone call.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Am I not going to Chicago with you? Because I did ask you when you're drunk you're not going to chicago with me you can show up in chicago once i figure out i don't know if i'm staying in a trailer i am fucking terrified about this movie it's fucking freezing i live in arizona and if you listen to the podcast for years i wear long johns anytime it's below 70 degrees. I'm wearing long johns right now. It's beautiful outside. But if I wasn't wearing long johns, I would find it chilly.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I don't want to go into freezing fucking wind. We did that. Did we already talk about this? I don't know. You need to give me a noun when we did the fucking when we did the the the charlie brooker thing i wasn't there it was thanksgiving and we had to film that shit for charlie brooker's news wipe okay yeah down at the bisbee airport yeah and I've never been more cold.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I can't talk. I'm shivering too much. It's so cold on Thanksgiving Day and that was probably 40 degrees. Fucking Chicago? Below zero? If I have to do something outside? Fuck this movie.
Starting point is 00:39:44 They're going to say I was hard to work with. I don't know. When do you meet the actors playing bingo? Well, I already asked him. I'm going to go there and ask, what's my part? Do I have lines? Should I memorize my lines? Like, I can memorize any.
Starting point is 00:40:01 But I'm certain I'm going to be in this movie. I know it. yeah we we went through this script and uh this guy could play this person like the only reason that uh Louie worked out was because Louie was directing it. And a comic can talk to a comic. If you work with a fucking Hollywood person, they'll go, oh, yeah, that was great. When you know it sucked, that was great. We're going to try it a different way. Why don't you try it like this?
Starting point is 00:40:40 Don't fucking pander to me. Just say that sucked. And that's what Louie did to me. He goes goes what the fuck are you doing your hands on that like you just do it like this oh i respond to that comics respond to ball busting until recently uh so yeah i i'm fucking terrified of doing this. And I'm only doing it for the story. The money sucks. But I was not going to be doing anything during February.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I'm going to miss the Super Bowl. I'm going to be watching the Arizona Cardinals go against the New England Patriots. New England Dolphins. New England Dolphins? New England Dolphins? No, where the Dolphins are from. Miami. Thank you. Illinois.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Illinois Dolphins. Big fan, big fan. Cardinals and Illinois Dolphins. Yeah, I'm going to be watching that in a fucking trailer while I'm trying to memorize my lines that you don't even have to memorize lines. Acting is so fucking difficult and easy at the same time. Actors, actors are such garbage generally.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Really, they're fucking, they're being fed their own personality. Oh, I could be like this guy. Can you be like yourself? No, probably not. But when I did Louie, bingo, I used to mow my own lawn with a push mower. Yeah, you did. When I was doing Louie, that episode, it's fucking 22 pages. And I would practice my lines while I was mowing the lawn
Starting point is 00:42:25 with a push mower. In the desert. Yeah, like it was 1950. And then when you were Skyping with him to do your lines, I was knelt down giving you cocktails and holding your script open and helping you with your lines.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And we did it. You did great. The point is, he would tell me when it sucked i'm gonna go into this thing and that was great um could someone get mr stanhope some coffee it's 10 30 in the morning i still have a full day of shooting yeah you get what you pay for i mean you don't think you'll be able to like uh i don't know slow it down a little bit and you know just not keep going doubles i don't know
Starting point is 00:43:14 that's that's what terrifies me i mean you won't have a bartender you'll be pouring yourself what i did on louis i brought mini bottles just like i do on airplanes like all right hammer one but that was that was 22 pages this is i'm starring in it so i'm in every fucking scene so yeah maybe i did one of those 30 days in the hole during january january why don't you do it during the movie? Yeah, right. Do you think killing myself is also part of this? Ah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:53 It's not a documentary. Andy Andrist, where he might have pancreatic cancer or he might not. I'm like, oh, maybe I should go to a doctor and see if I have pancreatic cancer so it gets me out of this. We've got Inchi. I can check it for you, you dog.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Yeah, there's no backstory there. Yeah, prostate cancer, you can't even get it. You can do anything with prostate cancer if you have pancreatic. Oh, God, you have an excuse. Prostate cancer is a couple of x-rays and a fucking wish and a wink. It goes away. Early detection is the key with prostate. Let's all get in my prostate and see.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Do some detecting? Yeah, who's earliest? Let's just ask Raider if there's any prostate in there. Yeah, Raider, let me smell your finger. Yeah, let Do some detecting. Yeah. Who's earliest. If there's any prostate. Yeah. Raider, let me smell your finger. Yeah. Let's all smell your finger. And then.
Starting point is 00:44:50 I mean, he definitely has cancer. I don't know if it's prostate. Oh. He stuck it in his ear too? The man doesn't live the healthiest of lives. It's not gross. It's love. Well, if you want to do another 30 days in the hole what what day you want to do right when we
Starting point is 00:45:05 get back from uh las vegas baby no we're canceling las vegas because well don't say that well what if i have prostate cancer or and then it becomes a pancreate prostate fund me uh show yeah i'm really looking forward to vegas because i finally got burned out on my act that i was so happy about like i have to rewrite this there's there's a there's a lot of shit missing and i'm like oh good i get a month off between the road and new year's Eve and then I have to do this fucking movie. It's a good movie. Stan, I'll tell you. Well, I don't know if it's a good movie, but I know it's the perfect movie
Starting point is 00:45:54 if you read Sam Talent's book or you saw me on the Louis episode or if you saw Crazy Heart. It's a mixture of all of those. And that's when I, after I said, no, I'm not going to fucking Chicago in the winter. That's when we became successful. We became successful when we never had to go to a cold weather market during the fucking winter. We don't, I haven't dealt with black ice in a dozen years back when we were doing
Starting point is 00:46:28 yeah no we go to florida in the winter we go to toronto in the summer yeah i'm not going to fucking chicago then i read this script and i go this is what i've complained about so much. Every movie about stand-up comedy is always New York or L.A. Nothing has ever been representative of... That's why I completely pushed Sam Tallent's book over my own, because that's a representation that is accurate about road comedy,
Starting point is 00:47:04 not fucking Andy Kindler, who I love, complaining about other people at the improv. No, it's fucking road comedy, where all of you motherfuckers failed because you're talking about fucking inside baseball shit. Yeah, it doesn't mean you suck if you're a road comic. I'm pulling this hatred out of 1996.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Point being, it's an accurate representation of Sam Talen's book. So I said yes. Plus, I need a new story because I don't do shit out of my wheelhouse.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Ready to wrap it up. Well, you know what you need to do because Shelly's clock is ticking. It's time for another ad. Hey, what are you drinking? That's a Miller Lite. That seems like it has alcohol in it. How about have a... What are you doing?
