Let's, uh, shall we podcast?
We already are.
Christine Levine says,
I could podcast and promote my career,
but that would require getting out of a chair.
I'm coming. I'm coming.
I'll do it then.
We have a chair for you.
Get her a LaBelle.
I need a fat chair.
Get her a Danny.
No, no, she needs a fat chair.
Doug, Doug, instead of calling it a fat chair, can we call it a four-corner?
Oh, thanks.
No, we'll call it a LaBelle.
A LaBelle.
Danny LaBelle was the guy that bent the other chairs.
That's right.
So we'll call it a LaBelle.
I like these better anyway because they don't have sides so I can kind of spill over.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's real nice.
I don't feel constrained.
I think they researched their fat chairs.
I like them too.
Yeah, they're real good.
Nice job, you guys.
Nice job for a bunch of skinnies.
Not bad.
We're tired of cleaning up broken, bent chairs.
Good, finally.
I'm glad I wasn't the one who did it too.
Oopsie.
There's still one that's questionable from the other night but i won't talk about it i guess
the red one yeah okay yeah no but that was already questionable from labelle
did somebody strategically place that one there or did that just get sat on by accident well
we have so many fucking stools now because I replaced, I put four fat stools in.
Mm-hmm.
Four LaBelles.
Four LaBelles because, well, we have quite a bit
of fat friends and...
We're fat friendly in the fun house.
Well, the problem was there was a fat friend over
that wasn't enough of a friend to say,
hey, can you please get up so we can give you
a fat chair?
So we just had to endure it.
Yes.
We're diplomats here.
We shouldn't have people that we can't say,
hey, get in a fat chair.
That's what I think.
We should be on that level.
We shouldn't even have to be drunk to be able to tell
people here, hey, you're too fat for that chair.
Move to this chair. If we don't
know you that well,
that's a comfortable conversation.
You shouldn't be here anyway. And that's my fault
because I get drunk and say, yeah.
We're not installing a scale at the gate.
I've been wanting to tell you for far too
long and not really on a podcast.
And plus, it's detrimental to
my own situation.
But you're far too fucking nice
you gotta fucking dick it up a little bit i yeah but i get i roller coaster through moods
yeah we've been trying to get him to dick it up a little as you say for a while and then it started
whoa whoa who's trying to put me out of a job? Not you. Not you. Not you. But I mean, you know, there are some of us that have been like, you know, Dr.
Dims wasn't a great idea, babe.
And then it started then.
Well, first of all, Dr.
Dims was in the MySpace days, and I thought I confused him with Drumwild.
Which was also a mistake.
I'm not going to say that.
He might listen to the podcast.
Who's Dims?
Was he the guy that showed up?
He was the guy at the Death Valley party that we put on trial.
But Drumwild, we always needed a drummer.
Right, that's true.
So I go, all right, yeah, I kind of used you.
But I got the wrong guy.
So I invited Dr. Dims.
It's a long story.
Yeah, I make some bad choices.
But you know what?
That's okay. I fixed it. I fixed it. I fucking handled Dr. It's a long story. Yeah, I make some bad choices, but you know what? That's okay.
I fixed it.
I fixed it.
I fucking handled Dr. Dems.
You killed him?
Well, I didn't kill him, but I set the stage for the murder of him.
All right.
You know what?
No more people like that, and then Chad Shank has to go.
No, no, no.
Because I invited Chad Shank blind like that too.
That's what I prefaced my statement.
I mean, that's...
At his own detriment.
I'm part of that.
At his own detriment.
Yes, you did say that.
Yeah, well, we're...
We bat 99%.
But it could be done better.
You mean we bat like 900?
Yeah, it would...
Oh, are you using a basketball term? I don't know. You mean we bat like 900? Yeah.
Oh, are you using a basketball term?
I don't know. There's very few douchebags that are like standout douchebags that show up here.
Yeah.
But I'd like to think that you would trust my judgment on that at least.
So if a guy walks into the yard and I say...
For instance instance a hypothetical
if a guy walked in and i said hey there's a guy coming in the gate and i don't know who he is
which is not an uncommon situation because i don't know everybody that you know could have
happened the other day it could happen any day but it'd be nice if you guys would look and go i don't know that guy either and let me know or say
yeah we know that guy because there's no need for you to go out and see who the guy is if you don't
know him i should go out and see him for the record we were in the midst of hating doing this
book on tape and everyone wanted a reason to go,
oh, I'll go see who that guy is.
No, I'll go see who it is.
Any chance for a break where we could turn on the AC?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that might have been the worst.
The heat.
I got, well, I was pretty fucked up,
but just the heat in here would get so bad.
First two days before we got a rhythm.
Your face physically changes
where you just get hanged dog like cartoon.
What's that?
Droopy dog.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
Yeah, I feel it.
I try to fight it. You've done pretty good. I've been here for a lot of days in a row uh killer termites game we have another one on sunday every sunday i looked i to double check
it's every sunday through july we're not gonna do that open invite that was Killer Termites Day. May 29th.
Yeah.
First one I was around to
be at. There was one before that. I don't
know how it went, but that was a fucking
fun game. And there's
another game coming up
all through July 24th.
Every Sunday at 1.
And we'll hang out for the game, but
we can't do that one killer termite's day.
You can let the dog in.
She's standing right by the fire pit.
Like the fire pit.
That was a good day.
It was a lot of people.
It was so much fun, but I don't want to.
No.
It's such a comedown from having a day that long.
And then we went straight into this, and we finished this,
and then tomorrow is going to be recovery day before football,
but tomorrow night's UFC.
You mean before baseball?
Before baseball.
I mean baseball.
Sorry, what did I say?
Football.
Football.
People are going, wow, this must be an old podcast.
All right, let me do that again.
Before baseball.
Can you put the inflection on ball?
Hit it on ball.
Anyways, tomorrow is going to be
recovery day before baseball on Sunday
and then tomorrow's UFC.
Who's fighting? Oh, it's a good one.
It's a good one. It's the two short guys.
Yeah, Faber and Cruz.
Last Sunday was a dog.
You're not going to know who the fuck they are anyway.
You'd recognize them. We've been looking forward to this one
this is actually a good one
I'm in
I'll be up
it'll be recovery day in that I'll sleep
I'll drug myself
to sleep up until
kickoff of your
UFC kickoff
UFC football.
They kick two balls instead of one.
Boy, do they.
Waka, waka.
So what else is going on, Doug?
Christine Levine is what I wanted to get to.
Oh.
You have a CD coming out?
Yeah, I do, finally.
I'm actually doing it.
I'm at home right now in Tucson.
Thanks.
And I have been going over my notes and, you know, like editing.
I've been editing it and, you know, listening to the parts that I don't like.
And I've got to be honest with you, I really like all of it.
I hate this out of my own voice.
I think a lot of people do.
But the comedy is solid.
I'm listening to it because now it's been a year and a half since I recorded it.
So now it's like I'm listening to someone else talking.
But I still think that the comedy is good.
And I'm like, man, that's pretty funny.
Even the stuff where I make fun of my parents a little bit.
And by the way, I love my parents, but I make fun of them.
And I'm like, man man that's really funny i want to leave it in so bad but i don't think they'd take it right so i don't know they listen to your comedy i don't know i don't know if they would
or not they watch the they watch portlandia which is kind of weird some people think i don't know
tell them that's your comedy yeah that's it Some people think that they're... I don't know. Tell them that's your comedy. Yeah, that's it, bro.
Some people think that the people around them, closest to them, don't listen to the podcast.
And then all of a sudden, you find out you're wrong on the worst possible podcast.
Right, exactly.
Better safe than sorry would be my advice to you, Christine.
And I love my parents so much.
But at some point point i kind of act
like i kind of say that they're stupid and i don't mean that i don't mean they're not really stupid
can't you just make up like uh you have a show family that you talk about yeah or is it that
close to home it's really close on the nose but uh because you know i i'm i'm pretty honest about
stuff but i don't really think that they're dumb.
I just, anyway, so that's one point.
Are they spry enough to understand if you explain that?
Yeah, they are.
You have to say that for comedy purposes, Ma.
That's what you do.
Yeah, they're pretty savvy.
My dad's real smart.
When Johnny Carson said true story, it wasn't a true story.
It's for comedy.
You build it up, Ma.
I have to do that to my kids sometimes, too, because they'll be like, we're not that fat.
We're not that.
I mean, we're fat.
Because they're looking at you.
I know.
We're standing next to you.
We're okay.
But I'm like, yeah, but you guys are like, but if you're standing next to normal people, you're still disgusting.
So I don't know.
Do you have a copy of your CD with you?
No, not with me, no.
Where does one get the copy?
Well, we can't get it yet because I'm still editing it, but it will be released on Stand Up Records.
No, but where can we?
Because I'd love to.
Oh, I have it right now.
That's what I'm saying.
So we can tease it. Sure, yeah. I can? Because I'd love to. Oh, I have it right now. That's what I'm saying. So we can tease it.
Sure, yeah.
I can get a snippet for you.
And then what is your mom's email?
Well, I don't know.
She's so dumb.
She don't even know how to do that.
Is the DUI versus date rape bid on it?
No, actually.
Oh, my fucking God.
That bit has needed to be out for two years.
It's one of the best fucking bits.
When her mom got a DUI and her dad date raped someone?
Shut up, you guys.
My dad's a teacher.
They'll never listen to this podcast.
Oh, you don't know.
Okay, I hope not.
Anyway, mom, dad, I love you.
Well, we've introduced you as Chelsea Peretti,
so there's no way they're going to know this is you.
Right, I know.
God damn it.
Oh, but I, so I, anyway, so I'm editing it,
and it is a good, I mean, it is a good CD, I think.
But a lot of the jokes like that that I didn't put on there,
that I just have to put out another CD back-to-back
because I do have a bulk of material that,
because I didn't release any material for so long,
that I have these jokes that just, like,
so I need to do another one right away.
That's true.
We only knew someone with recording equipment and a stage.
If only we knew.
If we're going to do that show down the line,
we should figure out how.
Well, Shawnee's already looked into video equipment.
We should at least film a trailer of a Funhaus show.
You don't want to burn everyone's material,
but we could put out a YouTube
trailer of
Erickson, just a couple minutes of
Erickson, a couple minutes of
a song from Mishka,
a couple minutes of Christine,
Becker's gonna be here,
fuck yeah, put some Becker on there,
and just put a Funhaus trailer,
because I'd love this
place to be a venue i just have way too much shit i guess i talked to someone in la and they're they
they said anything we need uh equipment wise technical wise if we want to stream it live
what do we want to do basically i know i just have so many things that I'm supposed to do or want to do or should have done.
And yeah, I need focus.
Don't worry about that.
I think, and the reason I haven't even included you in the July 4th private show in the Funhouse
is because you've got other things going on.
And if your schedule takes you away, it takes you away,
but we're still using your place.
Someone asked me about filming a special here.
And I go, well, that was just something we're talking about.
I don't know how to do it.
We don't have a film crew here.
We did when we filmed our tester of my old
The Pop-Off Vodka Presents that hasn't come out yet.
It'll come out one day.
It's just a bunch of shit that I wanted to put out
that I never put out.
It either got cut out of shit that I wanted to put out that I never put out.
Either got cut out of other specials for time or stuff that just didn't fit in that I never recorded.
The China bit, we only put that out as audio.
A touching tribute to China, the wrestler.
Well, she forced our hand.
Yeah, she had to go and die and put out the fucking audio quick. That whole,
whatever you put out on that is going to be a hell of a commercial
in itself because that was fucking
a great night.
We videotaped that entire night.
I can't imagine the lighting
making it less fucking great than it was.
The lighting on the stage,
the stage looked like it was a real
comedy club.
There's 35 people in here, including all the equipment.
And the stage looks phenomenal.
But they overlit the audience.
So when they do audience shots, they're more brightly lit than me.
And it makes it seem very awkward.
But we'll fix that.
First try. It was a test.
It's the first attempt.
Yeah.
This was never supposed to be anything.
This was just you getting.
Hey, since we have a camera crew here anyway for the real special,
let's do the night before and fuck off in here.
And it worked great.
We've had some fucking phenomenal shows.
Sunday night was absolute.
And it was just a pick up.
No, tell her.
Last Sunday. Last Sunday.
Yeah, after the Killer Termites slash Tucson Saguaro's baseball game.
Baseball game.
We had a bunch of people here, and Bingo played.
She never plays live.
Second time ever with Kelly Carpenter.
With a band.
And a band, Maria or something.
I don't know.
It was great.
The hot chick drinking whiskey straight off the plastic jug.
Ben and Julius were the guitarist and drummer.
I don't know the gal's name.
And then Kelly.
There was just people doing storytelling.
It was fucking great.
That's the other
great thing about here is you would
never have a bad audience here.
I mean, everybody
who's here is so grateful to
be here and you just look around
and everybody's looking at each other
with awe in their eyes like
this is fucking
fantastic to be here for this so there would never be a bad audience for whoever wanted to be here
it's just logistical shit where chaley chaley was doing the audio book with bruce we're doing
fucking 12 hour days of me stuttering and fucking everything up, and then podcasting for a minute afterwards,
and then Chaley would go take a nap, get up, edit the podcast,
put it out, get up early to wake up,
and then you're going to put what else on him
while he's still doing merch fulfillment, fucking chump work,
he's fucking sweeping the goddamn
patio. You're not supposed to be
sweeping stuff and putting my
trash out. I stop sweeping.
I stop sweeping. On the way to breakfast
this morning, Stan goes, I feel
bad even trying to ask
Chaley to go to breakfast because I don't
know if he's awake or trying to
sleep or what. I stop
myself from inviting you to breakfast
because you do too much.
Like, you might go because you had to go to breakfast.
I'd go and then go, should we bring the mobile gear?
Do you want to podcast?
Do you want to talk over breakfast?
That's a good idea.
We've been trying to focus on local businesses.
Jimmy's was fucking fueled.
Jimmy's Hot Dogs.
Hey, let's do a spontaneous
just real life commercial
for Jimmy's Hot Dogs.
That audio book
fueled.
We'll put that.
Maybe I'll take out the dedication
to bingo and put in
Jimmy's Hot Dogs.
The grinder. That place has been here for
like, have you ever eaten there, Uncle Bill?
All the time.
I went when they first opened like nine years ago, and I get a hot dog, and I don't like hot dogs.
No one does.
It's a default food at the baseball stadium because it's all they have.
That's a good hot dog.
Bruce from Audible.com.
Audible.com.
Sign up now.
I didn't know they had. Someone said, you said they have grinders.
Just the word grinder is a New England word.
And I'm like, all right, fuck it, I'll try a grinder.
And the last three days, all we did is put in the same order, the same thing.
Audible.com got the Chicago dog.
Me and Chad Shank split the Italian grinder,
which I'm still eating.
Is that what I had today?
Yes.
Is that what I ate?
Oh, my God.
It's fucking incredible.
This is so good.
This is why I have to tell you about Jimmy's.
Hang on.
No, I haven't met Jimmy, but you're not on the mic.
We'll talk after.
This Jimmy's thing started because I was really hungover one day,
and I remember Chad coming in and saying that,
wait a minute, you know they got sandwiches there,
and they have a half-pound burger.
I think the half-pound is after cooking, right?
So I was hungover, and I remember Chad saying that.
I go, Tracy, we'll go.
I'm fucked.
I'm not going to go to Burger King.
I'll go to Jimmy's.
I walk in there on a Monday morning.
They're fucking out of meat.
They have no.
What the fuck?
You have no hamburgers before the lunch rush.
And they're right across the street.
From Safeway.
And I realize as I'm telling her how ridiculous this sounds,
that I'm yelling at an angry ocean.
There's nothing.
What can she do?
If they had meat, they'd do it, right?
And then a week later, I go and have the hamburger,
and I understand why they didn't go to Safeway.
All their fucking stuff is really fresh
and whoever their supplier is,
it's not from fucking around here.
And their hamburger is amazing
and the grinder, everything,
even the chicken patty,
it's not something you could go to Costco
or you could, which a lot of restaurants do.
His ingredient list is fucking phenomenal
and a lot of it comes from back east.
So that's my, that's why I go there.
Chaley didn't just do Chaley work and overmanage it.
Go to Safeway, buy the meat, come in, cook the burgers for the lunch rush.
If you give me three more minutes, I can go get my spatula.
But I'm definitely going back there.
I'm cooking this burger.
Yeah, I felt like a dick.
I overtipped.
They have got really good root beer, which is my thing.
They import all of it.
Greasy burger.
Yeah, the root beer is actually from the Midwest, back east as well.
So, yeah, good ingredients.
Uncle Bill, we can hear you.
There's a live podcast going on.
I know you can't go more than three minutes without talking, but there's a lot.
I know, but you.
That's not Jimmy.
You're 72 years old one you think oh i'm sorry 71 71 all right then you're you're yeah you still think you're whispering
you were so much that i could hear you on the podcast that he put out tomorrow.
That's how loud you were whispering.
Eat it, Jimmy's.
Can I tell you what I was saying?
Hang on.
Hang on.
Uncle Bill wants to talk.
This is important.
This is very important about Jimmy, and it may or may not be cut out of this podcast.
None of you here have ever met Jimmy?
No.
Yes, I have.
Go ahead.
Isn't he beautiful?
Jimmy's a big man, and he's from Chicago,
and he's lived in the Blues District his whole life.
We met him at a concert in Tucson.
And just get Jimmy in here when you do your thing.
You'd really enjoy this guy.
You're like Grandpa Simpson without the jokes and the writing staff.
It was 19
dickity two.
I got you.
I got you.
That was important.
Thank you, Uncle Bill.
I follow Uncle Bill around
with an ashtray because he's the guy
that gets the eight inch ash.
And I just right now while he
was talking, I was trying to tap his
ash with the ashtray and I just right now while he was talking I was trying to tap his ash with the ash
and I missed

Part 2, Digging up Uncle Bill.
Aw, if he dies.
If he dies, I'm stealing his hair.
He has great hair.
When you die, don't worry.
Before I call 911, I'll be calling for clippers.
Hey, can I just do audio books
as side projects?
Do you do that?
Yes.
Audible.com does just audible books.
I think maybe
we should
put a book together, Mr. Shank.
Okay.
That way you're not doing a book.
You don't have to write it first.
You just have to talk.
Only Audible.com exclusive.
Yeah.
I'll read other people's books.
I don't give a shit.
Yeah, but I'll write something.
It's not exclusive to this cult, you know.
Chad Shank, I would...
I'll write something for you to read just for your...
I would listen to his grocery list all day.
I would just...
What did he say?
He eats a lot, but so do you.
Please hold.
You'd listen to it for ideas.
Oh, God damn it.
Yeah, it's not for his voice.
It's for ideas, is that what you said?
Bacon, I never thought of that.
I like biscuits and mustard.
Oh, Jesus.
I had a sling blade beat.
I didn't know you could do it so much better.
But it was just three words.
We got mother on mushrooms.
And I went into some weird character that had to check the perimeter, and I kept talking like Sling Blade,
and I had to read that today.
I didn't know you did Sling Blade perfectly.
Thank yous.
Let's get some thank yous, and I know I don't have them all.
There's still fucking boxes of shit out there,
but we'll get to them eventually.
Eventually, we'll get caught up.
Life will slow down at some point, right?
Not in the near future.
I do nothing and it seems so overwhelming.
But this week we actually did shit.
I got a letter from prison from a girl that is doing five years for a DUI.
And that means she killed someone.
Yeah.
Or multiple DUIs.
Or she's in Dubai.
I don't know.
But that usually means something else happened.
Abigail, I didn't read your letter.
We're becoming the Stern Show slowly,
but we have less wacky whack packers,
but we're getting interns
that double
as bartenders Tracy
I go listen I get fucking
I'm tired of reading we just did
40 hours of
solid reading will you read this letter
and see if there's anything in it
no you broke it down
the fucking girls she's in
Texas in jail inas for five years for
something dui related sodomy third third dui it's her car for sale
at auction probably doesn't need it do they take a car for dui you You know what? I'm just, all I'm going to do is give out your address in prison
because there's a lot of people that listen,
killer termites that listen,
that have similar stories and shit going on.
Do you want to touch on the Victor Farr thing,
how you did that and how?
No.
Okay.
No, I don't.
Read the book. Read the book.
Read the book, yes.
But yeah, first of all, don't drink and drive.
It's never worth it because you're going to be that guy that blows.081
and some kid rides out in front of you with a tricycle
and you crush his fucking skull where you you're perfectly sober
for you his dad could throw him into the street and you would be the one going to jail not the
father throwing his kid into the street it's not worth the risks on any level uh abigail hill number 199-5104, Carol Young Unit.
Who's Carol Young?
You know what?
We're going to dedicate this prison wing after you.
She was the best guard.
She was the one that didn't fuck any other male prisoners.
She's so good.
abigail hill number one nine nine five one zero four in the carol young unit five five zero nine at water ave dickinson texas seven seven five three nine hit pause rewind and then you're
gonna rewind oh i rewind too far. Fucking podcast.
Bruce is nodding as you read that like I haven't seen him do in days.
Oh, I thought he was nodding like he knew her.
No, he's nodding because you just nailed that read.
Good job, babe.
All right, quick thank you.
Someone sent me a book, Steve Turner,
and I didn't read your letter either.
It's something about going to the... I know you hate plays, and I know you hate the UK,
so I just dismissed the rest of it.
You're not going to talk me into it,
but thanks for sending me whatever you sent me.
Oh, this is a play by Keith Waterhouse
based on the life and writings of Jeffrey Bernard.
Jeffrey Bernard is unwell.
Okay, well, if you send it,
if it's in the, nah, it's too small
a print, but you have tiny eyes. You read it.
I do. I do have tiny eyes.
You got a plug. Thanks for sending shit to
212 Van Dyke Street, Bisbee, Arizona
85603.
Send it
to us.
You got the Zoom reference.
Oh, yeah.
WGBH Boston.
Wait, what?
Oh, fuck.
Did I fuck up?
Steve Turner.
No, I see I fucked that up.
But Steve Turner...
Yeah, okay.
Steve Turner sent me the...
The awful thing.
Jeffrey Bernard is unwell by someone else.
There's too many names.
Okay, Stan Ope, thought of all the people.
Oh, this is one of those fucking, they sell these in the south a lot.
Yeah, we saw those on tour, and it was funny for a while.
Yeah, it's one of those rags you buy at the convenience store
that's all mug shots.
This is how I found Pandora Trinowski.
Also in the book, plug, plug, plug, plug, plug.
When I fucking looked up one ex-girlfriend on the internet, Pandora Trinowski.
And the first thing I found was all of her mug shot pictures from like faces of meth.
And the second one I saw was her obituary and I
hated
being happy about that but
you can't ignore your
you can't force yourself to care
we were talking about this with
you hate people with one arm
baby arm Joe
some people you can
you have to be polite
but if your inner instinct is to go
yeah that's it that's your body telling you something yeah i gotta go
all right someone sent uh that's steve w sent us a uh mugshot rag from the south and one last thing
doug did you see the documentary on those uh mugshotags? No. But let me get... Tell me after this, thank you.
Kevin Hurst from St. Augustine, Florida,
sent us some hot sauce.
It's Gator Hammock Gator Sauce.
He says it goes very well with a steak.
First three ingredients?
And I'm going to give this to you.
Kind of like I gave Bingo's throwaway check that she used as a notepad.
We must have mentioned on a podcast, one of the guys, the only story,
I made sure every story in there is verifiable.
And the only story was the cookie prostitution story,
where I was a 17-year-old male prostitute.
Cookie the person.
Yes.
I thought maybe you traded sex for a cookie.
The only person that was around was Keith Kingsbury for that, and I can't find him.
And we must have mentioned it on a podcast because someone sent, this is where he is, here's his his address here's his phone number i don't know that i'll call him
but if anyone ever cries bullshit on me i'll fucking call him this is all you got in the
letter that was it this is like almost a ransom note that's what i told bruce i go it's it's
written like a ransom note but the the envelope is typewritten hey uh, Chad. On a typewriter. But, Chad, read that right there.
That one line.
Poor guy never got out of Worcester.
You can't pronounce Worcester still.
Worcester.
Oh, there's an O in here.
That's why.
Oh.
Worcester.
Well, should we say the guy's name?
Senator, we're on the air.
What is it again?
Worcester.
Worcester.
Remember?
Worcester.
Like a wuss.
I blew that one every time.
Worcester.
Wait.
It's a good thing it only said it 100 fucking times in the book.
It's only in the book, by the way, 15 times.
Hey, Doug, is this the guy's number too king yeah we can call him all
right don't put it aside because i got it like when i got my uh my old wife's number and i go
because i was married for like 27 years or something legally first The first, first one. Yeah. Yeah. A Vegas goof. It's in the book.
Well,
everything's in the book up until 2008
because it's my fucking memoir.
So I should stop saying that.
No, you shouldn't.
You can buy them
at DougStanhope.com.
Signed.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what?
I'm going to need
to sell more merch.
Anyway.
And by the way, if you see that the book is sold out online that's only temporarily it's because the number has gone down and i haven't checked
the website so yes we will always have signed books until uh well until someone figures out
i'm signing them have you heard of anybody uh going into & Noble and doing fake autographs in your bookshelf?
I have heard a lot of people say that whatever bookstore they go to
doesn't carry it, and I don't know how to change that.
If you go to a bookstore or have one in your town,
bitch at them and say, hey, you don't have that?
Are you kidding?
That's the way to do it.
Yeah, I guess. And it's polite, and you ask, how come you don't have that are you kidding that's the way to do it yeah i guess
and it's polite yeah and you ask uh how come you don't care this be a diplomat diplomat but if they
if they have enough people going into a store a location and it's being asked for there's no
reason there's fucking they need to move books they don't store books that's a fucking library
they want you to buy a book
when you walk in there. And if you walk in there
and ask them where the book is and they say it's not there
and then you walk out, that's failure
for the manager. And if enough
people do that, they'll end up figuring it out.
Also, be prepared for them
to look at you and say,
it's 2016. You don't have
fucking Amazon on your phone,
you dipshit.
So either way.
Okay, okay.
It could go either way.
That could happen.
You could get a real saucy clerk, I guess.
I said wait until I'm done with the thank yous.
Thank you, Kevin Hurst, for the hot sauce, gator hammock.
First three ingredients.
Okay, first three ingredients are Louisiana-style hot sauce.
I'm not kidding.
They used a hot sauce to make a hot sauce.
And then they added distilled vinegar, water, granulated garlic, salt, crushed pepper.
Sorry.
So where do we get this Louisiana-style hot sauce that they based their recipe on?
I'll tell you where you get it.
At your thrift
store on Bisbee Road.
No, we'll try it. We always
try hot sauce.
Oh, she's trying it.
You now
own it. Give it a shot.
Oh yeah, it's Louisiana hot sauce.
It's like actual... A little
vinegary for Louisiana hot sauce? Yeah, and they put
garlic on it.
As long as it's not Tabasco.
Hashtag...
No, it's good.
Hashtag Tabasco sucks.
Hashtag fuck Tabasco.
All right, here's...
We teased this on the last...
The first...
The A block.
We teased it on one of the previous podcasts.
This is where the killer termites have been shat upon in the Bisbee Observer.
He's up top.
He's barking at dogs that have the pleasure of getting walked.
Poor Ichabod.
We took Ichabod to breakfast.
He's so fat we could leave him off leash.
He just sat there waiting for sausage
outside the door in the shade.
You left me at home, but you took the dog to breakfast.
Well, he wants you to do more work.
This is a letter to the editor
and you have it in front of you.
So we're going to do
audio book of letter
to the editor.
And as soon as I fuck up, you take over, Chad.
Give the date of the observer.
So you just want me to start then?
Hold on a second.
Doug, are you mad at Doug?
What's the matter with you, Chad?
Give the information about this because they can find it online too.
No, I don't think they can.
Really?
You have to subscribe to this thing.
All right.
Well, it's the June 2nd edition of the Busy Observer.
2016.
I think before we talk about the killer termites being slighted publicly,
we should give a disclaimer and tell them to please do not react.
Because last night, my idea involved fire.
I don't want to say anything more than that.
That's enough.
That's enough.
But Stanhope...
We were drunk and we were not public.
But Stanhope is more of a diplomat than I am in these sorts of things.
And let's leave it to him.
He's in charge.
He has better ways of uh calling us out
as killer termites because i i realized right away that i didn't need to use fire
a lot of tweets i get and again that's why that idea of having seal team six sick seal team sick
of the killer termites. The elite.
You've been chosen.
Just because I bitch about something, don't just go,
oh, we're going to put the killer termite.
Or on your own, we'll put the killer termites on it.
Like, it's nice to have that ability when someone has been wronged
or needs help.
And not you just because, because oh my kid has got
a club
foot and I want to get surgery
or my dog needs some
kind of fucking euthanasia
I get
I won't bring up
anyone specifically but
someone died
that
was
I won't say close,
but then there was a GoFundMe page for a fucking young kid that died.
He didn't have a fucking family.
He doesn't need to be buried.
Donate his body to science, you fucking cheap prick.
He doesn't need a funeral.
People need cadavers to poke around with.
They'll pay for all this shit. a go fund me page no i'm not gonna fucking promote that and you can only promote so many
and sometimes maybe you hit a heart string and i'll go yeah fuck yeah that sounds like it
and comics a lot of times hey yeah she got her fucking purse robbed and her head stoved in and
now she doesn't have a car and she can't get to gigs.
Yeah.
That that's personal to me cause I'm a comic.
So yeah,
I pick and choose my go fund me.
But if I don't retweet it,
it's not cause I don't care.
It's I can't care that much.
So don't go fucking rogue killer termites.
It's great when we can do something together,
but we all have to be on the same page.
I'm going to read you something i'm gonna leave a name out so you don't go fucking bat shit because i this is a local thing you got shit on look i got shit on you got shit on locally by one crazy
fucking lady in town as far as i've heard she's. I haven't met her. Allegedly crazy. I wrote her a very nice email last night.
I went the other way.
Let me read it first.
Response to dubious honor.
To the editor.
I wrote the letter below in response to the...
I already fucked up.
There you go, Chad.
I wrote the letter below in response to an article in the Bisbee Daily Review of May 1st, 2016.
For some reason, I decided not to submit it for publishing at that time.
Since then, I've been on my annual trip to visit family in the Midwest.
For the first time in my 32 years living in Bisbee,
my return home did not make me giddy with happiness
and energy.
I thought this might be because
we've invited those people
I moved away from
to come to town in droves.
This made me realize
something else that surprised me.
I didn't submit my letter
because for the first time in my 32 years in Bisbee, I felt afraid.
That can't be a good way to live.
So here it is.
In reference to Bisbee's dubious recent honor of being chosen as USA Today's best small town,
USA Today's best small town.
Aren't termites insects that consume people's homes until no foundation remains?
Thanks, Doug.
I've been told that if you have nematodes in your yard's soil,
your tomato plants will die from the roots up.
But you won't have termites.
If this is so, perhaps we need a radical nematode revolution.
Perhaps our first act can be publishing maps to celebrities' homes.
Not surprisingly, Doug lives in Warren, not old Bisbee.
Anybody know his address?
Trying to remain myself in Bisbee.
No.
Name redacted. Name redacted because I have to.
Well, we don't know how to deal with this.
We went through a million things.
We could do this.
We could do that.
And I, at the end of the night, said, let's take the polite approach.
And I'll just...
Okay.
I just want to say one thing about the killer termites.
Like, what they are capable of doing. And what this person does not understand. I just want to say one thing about the killer termites,
like what they are capable of doing and what this person does not understand.
One time somebody just screwed me out of like $200 at a gig,
and I may have tweeted it to you or told you about it,
and within 24 hours I had the person who screwed me,
I had their name and how much money they had in their
bank account and their match.com
password.
So do not fuck
with the termites because they're crazy.
You want to call them nematodes?
You want to fucking act like they're garbage?
No, no, she's saying nematodes...
Aren't they a parasite though?
No, she's saying we need
nematodes eat termites and she's trying to radicalize the locals.
There's a lot of people in Old Bisbee that don't want new people here.
Do you think, first of all,
the USA Today Best Historic Small Town vote
didn't even make it into the USA Today.
That's on the website that you voted on
next to the best green chili cheeseburger in New Mexico.
That's an actual fact.
So yeah, it's a nice thing to put on your resume.
It doesn't mean shit.
I have a similar resume.
Me too.
They act like oh oh now that we're now we're in the usa today's top 10
oh yeah you know what all these people are gonna find a real estate agent there's a three-week
waiting list just to look at an open house or one of these fucking piece of shit houses that you
live in try to find it try to find a place that's serving food at nine o'clock on a sunday in this town oh yeah yeah i mean we're not really that concerned but there's people that
have that mindset this is as i i i forensically disassemble this first of all for the first time
in 32 years senator what happened exactly 32 years ago?
1975,
what happened to Bisbee?
The mines closed.
Yes, the mines closed
and these fucking artists
moved in.
Right.
How's your fucking
turquoise belt buckle selling?
Not so good, is it?
So you are the person,
you're yelling at yourself
32 years ago.
Asshole.
That's number
one. Oh, wait.
I should have circled all this shit while you were
reading it. I love coming back
from the Midwest or wherever
and not giddy. Yeah, and she's
so unhappy and all that energy.
Doug, you've been
in the tropics. Why do you go back?
Why do you fucking leave?
You've been in the tropics in a third world country
where it's nothing but pineapples
and fucking pie gal
and you come back giddy
because you come back
because you want to be here. If you're coming back
not giddy, is it because we were voted the best?
A dubious honor that you didn't earn?
You all of a sudden entered through a curtain
that you didn't like?
What the fuck?
The idea that she's writing letters to the editor
makes it apparent she probably doesn't even know
how the internet works.
She's a person who writes to Dear Abby and then buys the newspaper every day.
Just waiting to see her letter gets chosen and thinks there's a dear Abby.
Why doesn't Abby write me back?
She's so,
I love the way she looks.
She's so personal.
I was still wondering who is those people that she moved away from
that you invited back.
I'm not clear.
I assume it's the people she's going back to visit every fucking year.
Right.
My family.
Now my family wants to come here.
I only have to go there once a year.
I tell them it's a shithole here, and you've now told them it's nice.
They can read it.
It's in the USA. Well, it's nice they can read it it's in the usa well it's not
even in the usa today they have the internet and this this dropped just like two days too soon
because when she writes at the end oh wait first the fucking best part of this. Perhaps our first act can be publishing maps of celebrity
homes. Does
anybody know his address?
Yes. Everybody.
Everybody. I'm getting
letters from prisons because I
put out 212 Van
Dyke Street, Bisbee, Arizona
on all social media
on my podcast because
we like mail and it's weird
when we get a weird visitor and if I'm in the
mood, hey, we've made a few friends
doing that. People completely
sequestered from society
that actually smoke cigarettes
where the tobacco was smuggled
in, keistered
into the prison. They have your
address. They have my address and they can
stop by when they finally get released.
And she needs a Celebrity Maps home.
Not surprisingly, and for the listener, when she says not surprisingly,
Doug lives in Warren, not old Bisbee.
What?
Warren is part of Bisbee.
In case you think, but there's, you know, there's,
and that's why it dropped just too late
because we could have had Kenny or Derek for mayor.
Neither of them got enough signatures,
but there might be a way to do write-in.
But if she's that hung up on he lives in Warren,
like is one of those candidates
should have proposed to build a wall
between old Bisbee and Warren.
Of course he lives in Warren.
Fuck you.
I had such a nice diplomatic email.
I wrote to her and I was waiting to get her email address from a mutual
friend and i got it and then in the morning i woke up and i fucking hated her right away again and
i'm like you know i don't have to always be a fucking diplomat you you could have fucking called
me my my if you google d Stanhope address, it's the first
thing that comes up on Google.
You could have stopped by.
You could have fucking called.
And hand delivered her fake fucking letter.
Listen, it's certainly
you assume that it's easy to
pick out your house.
You can fly over
this place in an aeroplane.
And they have. And you know where it is
on google maps because i forgot what your address was and so just for fun i was great let's find it
on google maps and i zeroed in i just did bisbee arizona and i zeroed in right in on it i know
exactly you can tell exactly where your house is from just if you know what it looks the right move
is to actually just reach out like i have
that email saved and go hey let's just have a conversation i don't know you must have me
misconstrued as to i thought i was doing a positive thing by just getting there getting
that title and it gave the killer termite something to do and we had fun making it number
one when it shouldn't be number one don Don't worry, name redacted.
People will show up here, take a look around and go, oh, fuck this.
And then next year, it won't be.
It's pretty for a day.
I just really wanted to say, though, that the killer termites are capable of miracles.
They are capable of astounding devastation.
That's true.
And this person does not know what the fuck they're dealing with.
You have no idea how much this really did upset me last night.
Yeah.
All the other fucking problems I've had in my life,
this really fucking hurt.
Because I try.
This is your home.
And the killer termites.
Termites destroy foundations.
You know what?
First of all, look up the reason they're called killer termites.
Hopefully that's now on my Wikipedia page.
They build houses.
The killer termites, that girl, the legendary story, Rebecca Witzman,
that said, actually, Wolf Blitzer, I'm an atheist.
We started a GoFundMe on that, and they raised $127,000.
I doubt this person is a church-going person.
She's an artist.
The killer termites built the toilets or were responsible for getting the toilets.
Helped a lot.
Without the seed money, they couldn't have got the grant.
Killer termites get the seed money for the toilets at the Warren Ballpark.
Killer termites, they destroy prejudice.
I forget exactly what the example was when I was writing all this shit down, but yeah. Uh, Oh,
that they got their name killer termites from some awful journalist.
I say in huge quotations in the UK.
Oh yeah.
That lady that was,
yeah.
Did an op-ed piece about shitting on some guys fighting for the right to die.
A guy who had locked in syndrome who could only
communicate by blinking at a screen and she wrote some he was suing for the right to die
and she's just shit on him you know what i don't know what his problem is other people have this
disease stephen hawking comes to mind and i i just wrote i just I put out a tweet with a link to it,
and I went, look at what this cunt said about this poor bastard.
You can't blink yourself to death.
He needs assisted suicide.
Most people can just do it themselves.
He can't.
And I just said, look at what this cunt wrote with a link,
And I just said, look at what this cunt wrote with a link.
And they piled on her on Twitter and just destroyed her.
And then she wrote a follow-up article about cyberbullying.
I think I just said this on a podcast, but I'm saying it again so people know. It's worth repeating.
I mean, there's a history to it.
So she wrote that his fans came at me like a pack of killer termites.
And that's what coined the name
killer termites. Because
they fight injustice.
As a team.
As a team.
A community, if you will.
Yeah.
Some guy made a
website where he just
stole my entire life.
Quoted bits or Troy Holm.
Yeah, Troy.
Oh, I remember.
Troy Holm.
He's no longer there.
Don't worry.
No, if you Google him, he comes up on the first page of Google.
I think it's Urban Dictionary.
He tried to steal my entire persona.
The whole transvestite hooker story
or something he changed he passed it off as he passed it off as himself yeah he did steal verbatim
me not not all parallel thinking exact stories word for word from website updates. Cut and paste. Just change out.
And they fucking, yeah, they destroy fraud.
They build homes. They fucking look out for bad people.
And when we can team up, that's what killer termites do, asshole.
And I guess I'm only going to have to speak for myself and not the uh
doug stanhope podcast right now but one of the things that bothered me that she said was uh
she didn't submit her letter because for the first time in her life she felt afraid terrified
and uh knowing that i'm part of the killer termites and a lot of the other killer termites
you fucking should be afraid then if you're gonna fucking act like that that's what i'm saying no knowing that I'm part of the killer termites and a lot of the other killer termites,
you fucking should be afraid then if you're going to fucking act like that.
No, that's what I'm saying.
No.
Whoa, I'm terrified.
That's why I thought...
That was one of the worst things I thought about her.
She might be a bit crazy,
and I know she's fucking cranky.
Then you don't pick fights with people
you already know you should be afraid of.
No, she should feel protected.
And that's why I wanted to reach out and go, hey, listen, let's have a discussion.
Because a lot of people think, fuck, I don't want to bring up, there's a lot of fucking rumors that go around because we never leave the house.
So God knows what people think.
So it would be nice to have a discussion first.
You know, I think it would be wrong
if we didn't at least highlight the one positive of this.
And I know you guys realize it.
It's just maybe I need to say it.
This person actually highlighted on something
that even the city council was unable to give you credit for which was the historic small town
and the killer termites and right here thanks doug oh all right, all right. Yes. All right.
I mean, it was Bee Bisbee Day, I know, slash Killer Termites Day.
And we have a city manager saying, oh, we'll take care of you.
Oh, this will happen.
Oh, it was our fuck up kind of thing.
No, the city manager's cool.
I just didn't follow up on it.
I know.
Listen, thanks, Doug.
So there's a little silver lining
there's a silver lining that yes killer termites did get credit for a shitty letter to the editor
i know hey if we blur out your face and change your voice do you know this person no this is uh the governor of arizona is here i know
governor of america i'm sorry you want me to do a commissioner we can
if you if you want to talk hold on hold on stop stop let's take a break all right let's take a
break we'll figure out what we're gonna do break okay hey this is doug stanhope and for those of you who uh ask me
when i uh occasionally check my uh uh internet can i get a signed copy of the book yes you can
if you already have the book wait till i go on tour but if you want a signed copy right now
go to doug stanhope.com, go to the merch page,
and Chaley has them, or go to whatever page Chaley has them on, because he makes this podcast work,
and he's selling the things, and I sign them all day when I'm trying to watch hockey.
Why do I watch hockey? Because I hate basketball, but I also watch basketball. I'm trying to do whatever I can do to not work.
I'll be working soon, but that's against my will.
So go to DougStanhope.com and order a book that I had to sit here and sign
when I was otherwise trying to watch a sporting event that I don't like while I'm drinking.
Thank you.
We're back from a break.
Cocktails are made.
I just want to go back and mention that the threatening tones of our hubris about you should be afraid of the killer termites.
That wasn't about you should be afraid for your life or a fire starting
accidentally. No, no, not at all. I was only saying that that was the only portion of the
letter that actually made sense. If knowing what the killer termites are capable of,
that's a reasonable thing to be afraid of, but not in a physical way. I wouldn't want to be an enemy of the killer termites.
And I don't want a name obscured to be an enemy of the killer termites
either.
No,
I'm afraid of the killer termites.
That's why when,
because they get riled up and they're a very tenacious niche.
Again,
I want to find another word other than fan base
and they're not even an audience
they're a fucking cult
fuck it we're a cult god damn it
I'm not even the leader
it's a communist cult
because no one's in charge
we're socialists
we're a socialist cult
point being that
yeah that's why you do shit like,
hey, let's make Bisbee number one as a goof,
just because there's no other way they would be number one.
Let's see if we can do it.
And this woman is acting like everyone's going to drive down
and start fucking gentrifying the place.
Yeah, really?
That's plan B.
Yeah, and that'll happen in warren it's not gonna happen in old bisbee yeah people are gonna say oh i have to walk up 95 stairs to bring my
groceries not my fat fuck audience no they'll move over here if anywhere and we're gonna build that
goddamn wall to get some insight on this person
because I only know her through mutual friends
and she's a bit of a crab apple from what I've heard.
A crab apple.
Write that in your next letter.
He called me the C word.
All right, we have a, we have a,
he's the prime minister of North America.
So we're going to have to shield his identity.
Tell us what you know firsthand about your dealings with this woman.
Name redacted,
which is her actual name.
That's what makes it so hard.
You've dealt with this woman.
On different levels. hard. You've dealt with this woman? On different levels, absolutely.
You know, in the dietary form,
she would bake bread and sold it in a co-op.
It's an interesting piece of floor art
that you would put next to a door, keep it open.
But her personality?
I'm doing an impression of her right now, though.
She is full of life and energy.
Why would she put this in the newspaper?
Do you think she's really afraid that the USA Today dumb online pool
that never actually went into the newspaper at all is going to fuck up her town?
Well, she's definitely prone to, as of late, some paranoia, absolutely.
So I don't see her like people of that age and that ilk and that year, that third decade.
Roughly what age?
60 plus, maybe.
They're tired of a lot of things.
It seems outwardly they claim to be more libertarian,
but they don't want to pay any more for things that are going on,
and they want no more.
They don't want anybody else coming down here.
The people that would come because of that,
no one says, oh, I want to move somewhere different.
Let's find a small historic town off an obscure website.
They come down and they spend money and they fuck off.
I mean, when we did this special that we filmed in November
that hopefully will be coming out soon,
yeah, shitloads of people came down,
spent shitloads of money, bought art.
Actually, at the merch booth,
someone bought me an art piece they had made that day in town.
Some artist.
The fucking killer termites do everything you want them to do
except see shitty theater.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
No.
Don't be sorry.
Be silly, Doug.
No, and she does do theater.
And she directs theater.
And it's been going in that direction.
You know, to be a little more circumspect and paranoia.
And it's interesting and sad because, you know, we're all here for the very reason that they were.
Maybe they got here 10, 20 years before us, but it's a kooky town.
You know, the people are the best part of this town, and then their absolute biggest enemies are themselves.
their absolute biggest enemies are themselves.
And it's just, it's a dichotomy that, you know,
we can spin it any way we want.
You know what?
I know your voice is obscured, Fred Miller,
but the thing is, that was a lie and a joke.
But yeah, it really hurt me.
Like, I'm here for the same reasons. I understand you don't like my art, lady from the paper,
as much as I don't like yours,
but we're both on the same page.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Did she use the word celebrity in there?
Yes, she did.
Publishing maps to celebrities' homes.
Really?
Do you think I'm a celebrity?
I moved here because I was a failure.
She also uses the word nematode repeatedly,
so I guess maybe now I kind of feel sorry for her.
Instead of fire, maybe we can stand outside with a TV beacon
and just shut her TV off repeatedly.
Oh, wait. All right.
I'll just shut my mouth about the whole subject
because the killer termites can work both sides of the fence.
There's a line from Abby Hoffman's biopic with Janine Garofalo.
He said the worst part about being a liberal is you see both sides of the argument. And I bet some killer termites can send some killer nematode stickers
and signs we can put around town.
Hosts. Hosts.
The radical nematode revolution, to quote from her article.
Oh, radical nematode. You say the word.
Radical nematode revolution.
That's how she put it.
Yeah, radical.
You're going to have to Google image search what a nematode is.
But in her diatribe here, she says that they kill tomatoes.
So maybe later on, nematodes
will kill your tomatoes from the roots
up, I believe she said.
And then maybe we have the pro
tomato people come in
after the nematodes,
and we'll just make it silly. And it'll
still be funnier and more entertaining
than any play she's ever
fucking directed.
Fred Miller.
I'm just going to keep calling you Fred Miller because he doesn't have a sense of humor about this.
Fred Miller.
That was one of my ideas.
Do I do the soft route?
Do I do the hard route?
Do I go goofy?
But one of my favorite ideas was to stage a play just as an open letter, like a 30-minute one-man show,
just going against everything that's wrong with this letter,
but do it dressed like Mark Twain,
the fucking white beard,
and do it all theater style,
and stage my own one-night-only one-man show
as an open letter.
And that's still in play.
So, Killer Termites.
Stand down. Stand down.
Stand down.
Mail the, if you want to come up with some, say it again, the nematodes.
Radical nematode revolution.
Yeah, just if you make that so we can put stickers around town.
We'll have those stickers available on...
Oh, send them to 212 Van Dyke Street,
Bisbee, Arizona, 85603.
We need artwork, yeah.
Yeah, send some artwork,
but just keep it off social media
because no one here listens to a podcast.
When Margo first came on the podcast,
she dressed up and put on lipstick,
and as she's walking into the house, she goes, do I have to actually get in a pod?
So yeah, let's keep this on the podcast.
Yeah, and you know what?
If you're watching this on our video feed, you can see that his face has been blurred out.
Tell us the link so we can watch it.
Video feed?
Where's that video feed?
Just fucking with you.
Chad Shank, at HDFatty.
Christine Levine, at Christine with a K.
Levine, or is there an underscore?
No, it's all one word.
Thank you.
At Christine Levine.
You got dates coming up?
No. July 4th At Christine Levine. You got dates coming up? No.
July 4th.
Then Booker.
Oh, July 4th.
Yeah, I just agreed to do that.
Yeah.
Booker.
Yeah, tweet her and get her a gig.
She'll play your living room, I bet.
I would.
If you're not creepy.
Oh.
Yeah.
You can be creepy.
At Greg Chaley, C-H-A-I-L-L-E.
At Egg Lester.
That's Tracy.
Tracy's the most fucking underappreciated, underannounced person.
No, continue.
Continue with that.
She should get the credit.
Spell Egg Lester for me.
I called you Eggleston forever, and you go, no, it's Egg Lester. It's E-G-G-L-E-S-T-E-R. All Spell Egg Lester for me. I called you Eggleston forever. No, it's Egg Lester.
E-G-G-L-E-S-T-E-R.
All right, Egg Lester.
And do you have a...
Audible.com, for fuck's sake.
We'll just plug your company so you stay in business.
All right.
Bruce from Audible.com and Periscope.
My Periscope, I do have a Periscope now,
so we can start doing weird shit.
It's at Doug Stanhope.
You can also subscribe to at HDFatty and at Greg Shaley.
And I believe Brian Hennigan has one as well.
I don't think Fred Miller has a Twitter account.
But you can see him at Cafe Roca,
the best restaurant in town.
If you want a high dollar Bisbee experience
right down the streets,
right down the street from some
shitty theater production.
Fucker, I've promoted
her goddamn plays and she shits on
me like this. Alright, that's a
that's a podcast.
Let's have cocktails.
No, thank God.
Hang on.
So come to Bisbee, the best small historic town in America,
according to something no one will ever see.
Stay at the Shady Dell Trailer Park.
Have breakfast at Morning's Cafe,
lunch at Jimmy's Hot Dogs,
and then dine in Cafe Roca in Old Bisbee.
That way you hit Warren, San Jose,
