                                         imagine anybody being really that stupid and i had to just keep
                                         
                                         reminding myself yes their people are really that stupid but it was hard to i mean just to
                                         
    
                                         make those kind of mistakes is pretty stupid where where are you at season three episode one is my
                                         
                                         next one how many what did that go six seasons? I never watched it past the second.
                                         
                                         I think five seasons is total.
                                         
                                         Is that what The Sopranos?
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I had jobs back then.
                                         
                                         I didn't watch as much TV.
                                         
                                         I watched either three or five seasons of The Sopranos in a weekend in this sitting.
                                         
    
                                         Coming off the road, I did the same thing with The Wire.
                                         
                                         I've not seen either of those either.
                                         
                                         I'll have to live tweet both of those.
                                         
                                         Fuck The Wire.
                                         
                                         I thought The Wire was great.
                                         
                                         I fucking hated The Wire.
                                         
                                         But I still think, especially season one,
                                         
                                         because a lot of people jumped off from that onto other shows.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, it's almost every week.
                                         
                                         We're like, oh, that's a guy from The Wire.
                                         
                                         Raider was saying that Breaking Bad is his all-time favorite series.
                                         
                                         Deadwood, I think, I'd have to go for mine.
                                         
                                         Same here.
                                         
                                         If I had to pick a favorite TV show, it's definitely...
                                         
                                         I just was watching Deadwood again, too, last week.
                                         
                                         So I've seen that one hundreds of times.
                                         
    
                                         Hey, isn't it cute it snowed?
                                         
                                         Morgan fucking Murphy keeps texting me.
                                         
                                         Oh, can you take a picture of my house in the snow
                                         
                                         I'm so sad I missed the snow
                                         
                                         I was supposed to come out
                                         
                                         But I had a lump
                                         
                                         It turned out to be a cyst
                                         
                                         So I could have come anyway
                                         
    
                                         And now I missed the snow
                                         
                                         Will you take a picture of my house
                                         
                                         With the snow
                                         
                                         I said I don't have
                                         
                                         Why didn't you just rent a helicopter
                                         
                                         And fly over and then fly back to LA
                                         
                                         Not even touching Bisbee.
                                         
                                         I already had to walk down there.
                                         
    
                                         Poor footwear wants to turn her water on so it doesn't freeze.
                                         
                                         Isn't she friends with anybody in Bisbee on social media?
                                         
                                         I saw four million pictures of snow.
                                         
                                         Shaley already had to change a broken pipe.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I sent Chad the picture.
                                         
                                         That broke down past the elbow, Shaley.
                                         
                                         But through the elbow.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         I should have done laundry last night.
                                         
                                         Whites.
                                         
                                         Wash them in hot.
                                         
                                         That PVC pipe, that shit busts.
                                         
                                         That's why you go with that new Pex piping.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         With the shark bite fittings.
                                         
                                         Doug has that in Van Dyke. We just don't have it
                                         
    
                                         anywhere else. That's on the short
                                         
                                         list. I was going to say, every time I've had
                                         
                                         plumbing, I always tell them, yeah, put in the good shit
                                         
                                         obvious. I guess we've never done that plumbing
                                         
                                         out with the washing. No, this was the thing
                                         
                                         that Joby ran that water line that was going to
                                         
                                         fund us. Joby sold us the cheap shit?
                                         
                                         It's just
                                         
    
                                         it splits off from the water supply for the water.
                                         
                                         What a slap in the face.
                                         
                                         He probably charged us for the good shit.
                                         
                                         Oh, Joby!
                                         
                                         I don't know, check your receipts.
                                         
                                         Joby's the opposite.
                                         
                                         Joby would charge you for the shitty stuff and put in the good shit.
                                         
                                         I got nothing.
                                         
    
                                         We have a...
                                         
                                         We don't have to talk the whole time, do we?
                                         
                                         We have a vodka juice box.
                                         
                                         They're all chomping at the bit
                                         
                                         to have their song played at the end of this.
                                         
                                         And I don't know.
                                         
                                         They're going to...
                                         
                                         We're going to play the redo.
                                         
    
                                         Like, the rough track that we played before was just that.
                                         
                                         So now that it's all mastered, we're going to play it again at the end of this.
                                         
                                         And they're sitting here like the balloons are going to fall out of the fucking ceiling.
                                         
                                         And it's giving me the creeps.
                                         
                                         I just played this song two weeks ago.
                                         
                                         Kids, you really need to stare at me through the whole podcast.
                                         
                                         I can feel Bingo's nervous eyes on the side of my fucking cranium
                                         
                                         talk faster talk faster get this over with
                                         
    
                                         yeah i'm not fucking amused by snow at all uh and the people who say oh i love it i i you're a
                                         
                                         fucking renter if you love snow you rent i'm watching just shelves of it hanging off the fucking edge of the roof, waiting over every door.
                                         
                                         There's no safe way in where an avalanche is not going to come down on my bald spot, ruin my newly died mohawk.
                                         
                                         You guys got a lot of snow right there at your place.
                                         
                                         I didn't get that much.
                                         
                                         According to Shea Sorensen on KVOA Channel 4 Morning News,
                                         
                                         we got 10.5 inches. Jesus.
                                         
                                         Dwarfing all the surrounding
                                         
    
                                         communities. Like, Douglas was 3 inches.
                                         
                                         Sierra Vista was a couple.
                                         
                                         We're a little higher. We're up a little bit.
                                         
                                         Actually, according to Joby,
                                         
                                         Mr. Plumbing,
                                         
                                         he says Sierra Vista's actually
                                         
                                         higher than... That's what he says. I don't know.
                                         
                                         He always swore by it.
                                         
    
                                         I'm in between the two, and I'm at 45, 50.
                                         
                                         It's not so much for him to go there to get us plumbing supplies.
                                         
                                         Because it's uphill both ways.
                                         
                                         It's a lot of gas money.
                                         
                                         Depends on which road you take.
                                         
                                         But, yeah, Shea Sorensen.
                                         
                                         So I took a picture of the snow still coming down yesterday
                                         
                                         and snapped a shot in the backyard and tweeted it at Shea Sorensen
                                         
    
                                         because she's one of the few people that haven't blocked me at KVOA,
                                         
                                         including the station itself.
                                         
                                         But the station took the picture and tweeted it from the KVOA account. And Hennegan sent me a link to my...
                                         
                                         He recognized the house, obviously.
                                         
                                         And yeah, I couldn't click on that link.
                                         
                                         I could not see my own picture of my own house on Twitter.
                                         
                                         One day we'll have to make it up with them somehow.
                                         
                                         I'll do some charity drive
                                         
    
                                         and save some kid with cancer or something.
                                         
                                         He'll have to unblock me.
                                         
                                         Then I'll go kill that kid.
                                         
                                         It was just a ruse the whole time.
                                         
                                         We should
                                         
                                         add Inman on today because I did that
                                         
                                         podcast. Did I even tell you,
                                         
                                         Chad? You know,
                                         
    
                                         Don Barris came in the other day.
                                         
                                         Yeah. So I did his
                                         
                                         Big 3 podcast with
                                         
                                         Scary Perry from Windy City Heat and
                                         
                                         Mole. And God, that guy
                                         
                                         is so much easier to wind
                                         
                                         up than even Inman.
                                         
                                         Just from the beginning, that guy hated
                                         
    
                                         me. I don't even want to do this podcast with this
                                         
                                         guy. Because he didn't know who I was.
                                         
                                         And they were giving him shit for not
                                         
                                         knowing who I am. And then
                                         
                                         I demanded a proper introduction
                                         
                                         before. They're like, introduce him
                                         
                                         Perry. I don't know who the guy
                                         
                                         is. How am I supposed to?
                                         
    
                                         So then I acted indignant.
                                         
                                         Oh, funny. I don't know when it
                                         
                                         comes out. I think they only do it once a month.
                                         
                                         They do once a month, yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, they pretty much, I think they only do it once a month. They do once a month, yeah. Yeah, they
                                         
                                         pretty much, I think maybe
                                         
                                         it's too easy for them at this point,
                                         
                                         because I would have kept going. I was so
                                         
    
                                         fucking amused, and I think they
                                         
                                         wanted to shut it down around the hour mark,
                                         
                                         and I would have definitely done
                                         
                                         three hours on that one.

                                         Fanny packs.
                                         
                                         Bingo's still trending.
                                         
                                         I bought a beanie last night.
                                         
    
                                         You know who else wears a fanny pack, even indoors? I watched an episode of Perry's Apartment Part 2,
                                         
                                         and he was wearing his fanny pack in his apartment,
                                         
                                         and they were giving him shit.
                                         
                                         And he said, well, it's because I don't trust anyone here
                                         
                                         who thought the crew was going to steal from me.
                                         
                                         At his house?
                                         
                                         God damn it, that show is funny.
                                         
                                         I subscribe.

                                         Big three.

                                         And he sent me a link so I could get in and watch stuff, like a promo code.
                                         
                                         And it didn't work, so I just signed up.
                                         
                                         Busted balls over $5.99.
                                         
                                         I walked in at a very inopportune time watching them do the podcast.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and now I'm scarred.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         Gal, it was supposed to be.
                                         
                                         Perry, you want to be my boyfriend?
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         Whoa, Sheila's a male.
                                         
                                         He kept saying my girlfriend.
                                         
    
                                         That's my girlfriend you're talking about.
                                         
                                         And then he saw the dick.
                                         
                                         Oh, I got tricked again.
                                         
                                         He's so James Inman.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'll have to check that out.
                                         
                                         I've never heard of that one.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it was hard because everyone was goofing on him at the same time,
                                         
                                         so it was hard to pick your shots.
                                         
    
                                         But I wanted to do the same Inman gag where I told him that we're doing
                                         
                                         Windy City Heat Part 3 and that James Inman is playing him.
                                         
                                         I wanted to reverse the gag, but he wouldn't have known who James Inman is.
                                         
                                         But the whole gag was that they had me on because i was trying to recruit uh

                                         I was a star.
                                         
                                         He still thinks...

                                         No one's talking, so I'm not going to miss anything on fast forward.
                                         
                                         Tension.
                                         
    
                                         I don't need tension.
                                         
                                         Or audio.

                                         The guy's running across a field at night.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you know what?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         No, he's a bit pensive.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, of course he was a war.
                                         
                                         For me, it's a movie.
                                         
                                         Get on with it.
                                         
                                         It's like you're trying to read 100 books over summer.
                                         
                                         I finished fucking Rosetta Stone in Italian.
                                         
                                         Fucking Sandpaw on Netflix.
                                         
                                         The Sins of the Saint.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's five fucking hours.
                                         
    
                                         It could have been done in an hour, and it's all subtitled in Italian.
                                         
                                         What a fucking stupid non-language that is to listen to.
                                         
                                         I don't even think there's real words in Italian.
                                         
                                         I think it's just wild gesticulations,
                                         
                                         and they mumble in tongues
                                         
                                         until one of them sounds Latin-based,
                                         
                                         and they figure out what each other's saying.
                                         
                                         I don't know.

                                         It sounds like the fucking cartoon

                                         No one knew he was gay.

                                         Well, it's a series. It's five
                                         
                                         episodes. I've been waking up early again.
                                         
    
                                         I woke up at, I don't know, 3.30 or 4 or something.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         But I just, it was close enough to last night.
                                         
                                         It was closer to last night than it was tomorrow morning,
                                         
                                         so I just made a cocktail, Benadryl.
                                         
                                         Then I watched TV till 6,
                                         
                                         and then I slept till the bingo chime started fucking on my phone.
                                         
                                         I got fucked out of my
                                         
    
                                         newspaper today that's why i'm a little extra glum wednesday's like i feel like bobby i feel
                                         
                                         like when bobby fails a piss test in prison and they deny him privileges because of the weather
                                         
                                         my newspaper didn't come and uh wednesday's a big day for me because it has the safeway sale paper
                                         
                                         so i can go up and down the imaginary aisles while I turn the pages and clip out coupons and make a list.
                                         
                                         And then I get to do my crosswords.
                                         
                                         And then when it wasn't there this morning, I called them.
                                         
                                         They said, oh, because of the icy roads, it won't be there until like 11 or noon.
                                         
                                         So I just wandered around like a fucking puppy waiting for his owner to come back, staring out the window, jumping up every time I hear what
                                         
    
                                         could be a car or maybe snow cascading off the roof. And I finally called him at 2.30. I said,
                                         
                                         this paper is not coming. They said, well, some of the areas, what's your account number? What's
                                         
                                         your address? And I gave it to them and they said, yeah, they're going to redeliver that tomorrow,
                                         
                                         probably around the same time around. And I said, wow. They said, but you have the online option.
                                         
                                         Are you familiar with that?
                                         
                                         I said, have you ever sat underneath
                                         
                                         three comforters surrounded by
                                         
                                         ten inches of snow,
                                         
    
                                         cuddled up, and tried to do a crossword
                                         
                                         on a laptop? And she paused
                                         
                                         and went, no, I don't think I
                                         
                                         did. I didn't yell.
                                         
                                         It was defeat,
                                         
                                         Chaley. I didn't even scream at the paper.
                                         
                                         I didn't demand that they send someone over because the roads are fucking fine.
                                         
                                         I just solemnly conceded.
                                         
    
                                         You didn't even escalate to the stateside?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         It's local paper.
                                         
                                         They asked my name.
                                         
                                         I was going to say, check your best of 2020 under live performances.
                                         
                                         under live performances i i've been on the other side of that phone call when it snows in here when i worked at the newspaper and there's people you know there's there's snow all over the place in
                                         
                                         the country and they still get their newspaper every day you know you get fucking we our guy
                                         
                                         that delivered for bisbee lived in Hereford,
                                         
    
                                         drove to Sierra Vista to get the papers, and then went to deliver in Bisbee.
                                         
                                         So if he missed one, people are like, I want him to come back.
                                         
                                         He doesn't even live in your town.
                                         
                                         He's not going to come back.
                                         
                                         I did cancel my New York Times subscription.
                                         
                                         I was a little bit more vocal about that because they chucked it over. I only get this Sunday or did get this Sunday paper.
                                         
                                         It's big and fat,
                                         
                                         and now we all do the Sunday crossword in that.
                                         
    
                                         It's really hard, so we pass it around
                                         
                                         and take stabs at the easy one.
                                         
                                         It goes until they can't.
                                         
                                         That was fun, but once we started doing that,
                                         
                                         I realized I don't read any of that fucking paper anymore.
                                         
                                         You read one sheet of it, one corner of one sheet.
                                         
                                         They chuck the paper over.
                                         
                                         It's fucking,
                                         
    
                                         they know it's going to rain.
                                         
                                         It's in their paper.
                                         
                                         It's in the forecast.
                                         
                                         They didn't put it
                                         
                                         in a fucking plastic bag.
                                         
                                         So I got a fucking
                                         
                                         eight pound New York Sunday Times
                                         
                                         soaking wet
                                         
    
                                         that I sat in front of a heater
                                         
                                         for an hour
                                         
                                         before I could open it.
                                         
                                         And so I called them
                                         
                                         and told them to fuck off
                                         
                                         in no uncertain terms.
                                         
                                         But it took me an hour to do it.
                                         
                                         I guess it was my tone of voice,
                                         
    
                                         because Valentina gets the New York Sunday Times,
                                         
                                         and she called to cancel it,
                                         
                                         and they gave her half off for two years to keep.
                                         
                                         And I guess I just had a tone of voice that said,
                                         
                                         I ain't bartering.
                                         
                                         I would have taken the deal.
                                         
                                         You came in hot and they were like, okay, red flag.
                                         
                                         Well, because I had the fucking asshole on the chat.
                                         
    
                                         That's what I'm talking about right there.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I had the asshole on the chat feature because they're not answering their phone.
                                         
                                         That's not a person.
                                         
                                         That's a robot.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and so they asked me a simple question and then don't reply to me for 10 minutes.
                                         
                                         So meanwhile, I'm on hold with their phone number that doesn't answer,
                                         
                                         and this guy did offer me like two weeks free or something,
                                         
                                         and right then they answered the phone, and I'm like, fuck that guy.
                                         
    
                                         I'm talking to the human being.
                                         
                                         That ended poorly.
                                         
                                         But we also went out and reviewed like two weeks later.
                                         
                                         The local paper that I'm still getting.
                                         
                                         Sloppy seconds.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's just two weeks old.
                                         
                                         So we just, yeah, by the time you get that paid back, we're caught up.
                                         
                                         Buy local is what I'm saying.
                                         
    
                                         I hate the New York Times.
                                         
                                         You can't get the L.A. Times here, which I would be more attuned to reading.
                                         
                                         Because most of the L.A. Times is just all this shit that I hate about New York.
                                         
                                         I mean, the New York Times.
                                         
                                         Like, they always have some really good story in the front section for Sunday paper.
                                         
                                         And stuff that's not necessarily headline news.
                                         
                                         Like, in-depth exposés of fucking Chinese prisons.
                                         
                                         And cool shit that you wouldn't get in the USA Today.
                                         
    
                                         But then the rest of it's, oh, fucking here, the whole section on ballet.
                                         
                                         Go fuck yourself.
                                         
                                         You're just killing trees for this?
                                         
                                         Stinks.
                                         
                                         Stuff people, you should care about.
                                         
                                         I used to, they used to run those.
                                         
                                         They were like AP articles, but like they'd run a New York Times
                                         
                                         in the entertainment section of the local Sierra Vista paper, and they just
                                         
    
                                         have some, like it's about
                                         
                                         Hamilton or something.
                                         
                                         Sierra Vista, no one gives a fuck about
                                         
                                         some off-Broadway fucking
                                         
                                         bullshit thing you're
                                         
                                         buying syndicated.
                                         
                                         And I would call them up and give them shit about that.
                                         
                                         Like, hey, don't fucking move here to read
                                         
    
                                         about what's happening on Broadway, you fucking
                                         
                                         assholes. But the only other thing in the entertainment section, they have a nine-page weekly TV section.
                                         
                                         Actually, it might be more than nine pages.
                                         
                                         But yeah, with every day's best bet.
                                         
                                         Like the old TV guide.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but that's the entire entertainment section because there's no other entertainment.
                                         
                                         There's not even, even like movies to advertise when i worked there that was one of the biggest parts of arguments for keeping
                                         
                                         a physical paper going was that uh all the people would complain about their tv guide and it blew my
                                         
    
                                         mind i was like dude these people realize there's like a channel with the guide on it now like i
                                         
                                         know these people are old because they're getting a
                                         
                                         newspaper but their tv guide and that was one of the biggest uh things that and the advertisements
                                         
                                         for the uh uh grocery stores safeway and fries and stuff yeah i'm that old guy now i'm all
                                         
                                         i'm all screwed up because i didn't get my fucking coupons today.
                                         
                                         I won't get a deal on my nectarines.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         I'm going to have to fucking bear back it tomorrow.
                                         
    
                                         I'm going to have to get the sale paper there.
                                         
                                         I'm not waiting until noon.
                                         
                                         I'm going to save money early.
                                         
                                         You call the grocery store and bitch that you didn't get your newspaper.
                                         
                                         Call the grocery store and bitch that you didn't get your ads
                                         
                                         because the only reason the newspaper is still alive
                                         
                                         is because of the grocery store.
                                         
                                         So you need the grocery store to lean on them,
                                         
    
                                         and then they'll make sure you get your ads.
                                         
                                         The long con.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         The newspaper mafia.
                                         
                                         Finding the person responsible.
                                         
                                         I found that note.
                                         
                                         It was high the other night.
                                         
                                         But yeah, I'd have to find the exact person responsible for fucking leaning on the local newspaper and go through it.
                                         
    
                                         I'd just have to call.
                                         
                                         And I thought this is a fucking, it would take an incredible amount of editing.
                                         
                                         But I always pitch that as a TV show.
                                         
                                         Just every week, you're just trying to find the person responsible for some minutiae in your life that makes you fucking crazy and somewhere there is a person that made that fucking keep your tray in the upright and
                                         
                                         locked position during takeoff and keep your seat up why why how is i know it's a hackneyed premise
                                         
                                         how is it my seat being back too which is going to save a fucking life it does but find the one
                                         
                                         guy that you can really yell at don't yell yell at the flight attendant. Go up the chain. Follow the money.
                                         
                                         But then I thought, that's a great idea for a podcast.
                                         
    
                                         But that would be a thousand phone calls that you would have to edit and sit on hold for a week.
                                         
                                         You should get an intern.
                                         
                                         Charlie, let's get him back.
                                         
                                         Charlie, you're back in business. Yeah, like the movie Roger and Me, where he's trying to get to the fucking corporate headquarters
                                         
                                         and standing out in the street with a megaphone.
                                         
                                         Why won't you talk to me?
                                         
                                         Do that exact same thing.
                                         
                                         But at the end, just burn a bag of dog shit on their doorstep and ring the doorbell because
                                         
    
                                         I found you.
                                         
                                         But now I really have nothing.
                                         
                                         It's impotent rage.
                                         
                                         I'm going to order 50 pizzas to your house now.
                                         
                                         It was really the journey, not what happened when you got there.
                                         
                                         I talk about impotent rage.
                                         
                                         I noticed the other day I told you about that title.
                                         
                                         I was having problems getting that title for that vehicle,
                                         
    
                                         and I feel much better.
                                         
                                         I've still been plotting murder, but now I know I'm not going to do it,
                                         
                                         so it's a lot more or less stressful.
                                         
                                         And I've been having more fun with the things like i noticed the other day she posted there her family
                                         
                                         was going to be at the bisbee farmer's market selling cinnamon rolls so so you're trolling

                                         to give me the title
                                         
    
                                         but like nine dudes in a row
                                         
                                         let's just
                                         
                                         have Joby whip up some way
                                         
                                         better cinnamon rolls for half
                                         
                                         the price and set up right next to their
                                         
                                         fucking table it might take months
                                         
                                         of every Thursday going down
                                         
                                         this farmer's market
                                         
    
                                         announce that we're raising money so that I can buy an abandoned,
                                         
                                         I can get an abandoned title since these people won't give me the title to my vehicle.
                                         
                                         Can't you do that anyway, Chad?
                                         
                                         Well, I looked it up and the thing I could do is I report it as an abandoned vehicle to ADOT.
                                         
                                         But the thing is that they'll contact the registered owner
                                         
                                         with a letter that says you have 30 days to go get your vehicle.
                                         
                                         So, I mean, I could just park it in the back.
                                         
                                         I mean, I could just park it in the back,
                                         
    
                                         and then I just would let them know, hey, I'm going to do this.
                                         
                                         All you have to do is not respond to this know this thing but if you come here the registered
                                         
                                         owners and and and then hopefully they're already intimidated that uh you know because at one point
                                         
                                         on the last message that uh she called me rude and i told her rude i said you're lucky i'm not
                                         
                                         the person i was before i would have parked a fucking van in the middle of your living room and let you deal with the problem
                                         
                                         because it's in their name still
                                         
                                         so you know
                                         
                                         I'll just drive right through the front of their fucking house
                                         
    
                                         with it and let them explain to the cops why their
                                         
                                         own vehicle is parked in their living room
                                         
                                         it's not my fault
                                         
                                         but I'm not
                                         
                                         that guy anymore so
                                         
                                         I have to just
                                         
                                         that was two podcasts ago I have to. So I have to just podcast to go.
                                         
                                         I still can think about that.
                                         
    
                                         I just can't do that anymore.

                                         The ones that shunned us.

                                         and on the back of it sewed that fucking comfortable-ass expensive sheet.
                                         
                                         That is the best blanket in the world.
                                         
                                         That'd be heavy, too.
                                         
                                         It sounds rather psychotic.
                                         
                                         It is very heavy. It's huge psychotic. It is very heavy.
                                         
                                         It's huge and heavy.
                                         
                                         Like a thunder blink.

                                         I just picture you sleeping in that with your gun and some rations and a teddy bear.
                                         
                                         And a deer with grenades.
                                         
                                         I don't need to sleep with those things.
                                         
                                         I just have them in the house.
                                         
                                         They're attached to the uniform.
                                         
    
                                         Well, it cuts squares out of the uniforms.
                                         
                                         There's not like pockets full of shit or anything all over them.
                                         
                                         Are you coming for Super Bowl, Chad?
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         When is that?
                                         
                                         Week from Sunday. It's the 7 Bowl, Chad? Sure. When is that? Week from Sunday.
                                         
                                         It's the 7th, right?
                                         
                                         I'm trying to get the book finished, the epilogue for the hardcover before then.
                                         
    
                                         But, oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh, Valentina just is on her way back from Tucson.
                                         
                                         She got vaccinated.
                                         
                                         Oh, right on.
                                         
                                         So we want to start fucking with her.
                                         
                                         Things are weird about her since her vaccination.
                                         
                                         She's 74 years old?
                                         
                                         A little bit.
                                         
    
                                         A little bit older, I think.
                                         
                                         Because she has to go into courts and prisons and shit.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Which she doesn't really have to do because it's all remote until, like, April.
                                         
                                         She hasn't done it since.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so she just killed someone's grandmother.
                                         
                                         But, yeah, those fucking nodules on her head, have you noticed?
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
    
                                         I'm just saying, we're going to make shit up.
                                         
                                         Just slow play it daily.
                                         
                                         Oh, that thing's getting bigger.
                                         
                                         Never mind.
                                         
                                         Have her just smile.
                                         
                                         Tell her to smile.
                                         
                                         I think it's drooping.
                                         
                                         Did you have a stroke?
                                         
    
                                         Maybe a mini stroke?
                                         
                                         Yeah, what's going on?
                                         
                                         stroke. Your smile seems... Yeah, what's going on?
                                         
                                         Convince her a word that she said in a sentence
                                         
                                         doesn't make sense and it's not a word.

                                         that topiary is a word.

                                         The phone's ringing, and I'm like, Jesus Christ, I hope it's not podcast time because I got shit.
                                         
                                         I'm literally staring off into the distance as the phone's ringing and I'm like Jesus Christ I hope it's not podcast time because I got shit I'm literally staring off into the distance as the phone's ringing

                                         rejected that I tried to send her.
                                         
                                         Well, of course. She's going to read that and
                                         
    
                                         is her life going to spiral down?
                                         
                                         She's going to go out and find a dog, give it
                                         
                                         rabies and stick it on people.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I was just trying to think of a book subject that we could get people to all send something.
                                         
                                         Just pick a topic that's fucking really bizarre that would make them go, what's he building in there?
                                         
                                         Why is he giving all these fucking needlepoint books?
                                         
                                         But like, I literally was like, I can't. in there. Why is he giving all these fucking needlepoint books? But the book's fucking...
                                         
    
                                         Like, I literally was like,
                                         
                                         I can't. I want to read it so bad, but
                                         
                                         I know it'll get rejected immediately.
                                         
                                         Do we have any word on that, Chaley? We were
                                         
                                         supposed to get a new title.
                                         
                                         I have it all
                                         
                                         ready to go.
                                         
                                         Actually, I got
                                         
    
                                         a local artist to do a new cover
                                         
                                         and we're going to take out everything that says pedophile in it so that actually people could buy it because it's a very funny book.
                                         
                                         I don't want it.
                                         
                                         Well, if we do get that done, that is something that could go into the prison system because it doesn't say anything about pedophilia.
                                         
                                         It's best of baiting is what it is.
                                         
                                         Doug Stano's best of baiting.
                                         
                                         I'll look into that.
                                         
                                         I'll see what my intern's got.
                                         
    
                                         I mean, I tasked him with it.
                                         
                                         Do you have an intern?
                                         
                                         We used to.
                                         
                                         We did once.
                                         
                                         No, I thought I meant Shaley had an intern.
                                         
                                         He's being goofy.
                                         
                                         Shaley's been fixing busted pipes all morning from the freeze.

                                         because, you know, I'd fuck with Chaley, but that's just too obvious.
                                         
                                         I think I'm just going to fuck with Dave Ray.
                                         
                                         I said, yeah, he takes it well.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you fuck with Shaley,
                                         
                                         and then all of a sudden, the pipe burst.
                                         
                                         Shaley might not answer his phone.
                                         
                                         Oh, you need a cable?

                                         because, Bobby, I was going to hook it up
                                         
                                         so Bobby could call me and shame me
                                         
                                         into doing stuff.
                                         
                                         But it turns out I needed somebody
                                         
                                         to shame me into setting it up
                                         
                                         on jay pay so he can call me well that's where it starts yeah i'm actually uh was like how much

                                         wondering about that i was like how much was joking? Because I'll definitely be the worst life coach ever.
                                         
                                         I've thought about it a lot.
                                         
                                         My real hesitation is I don't want to bring you down.
                                         
                                         Impossible.
                                         
                                         I mean, I would appreciate you bringing me up,
                                         
                                         but I've tried to do this before and uh i've definitely

                                         she's that fucking real and cool all the time and uh i definitely, I thought that she would help bring me up and I've definitely made her more harsh.
                                         
    
                                         Uh, sorry for that.

                                         One, it works somewhat and I bring you up a little bit.
                                         
                                         Two, you ruin a guy who has survived so much and it'll be a jewel in your crown.
                                         
                                         Oh, it's like a challenge.

                                         I dare you to ruin me.
                                         
                                         I'm in.

                                         left, but
                                         
                                         I'd ask both of you.
                                         
                                         You saw where the leader of the
                                         
                                         Proud Boys has been a fucking
                                         
                                         police informant?
                                         
                                         Mm-mm.
                                         
                                         Brat.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, how would he hold up in either of your old circles or Bobby's current circle?
                                         
                                         No, it would be all bad news.
                                         
                                         And someone would inevitably show up and know him from somewhere.
                                         
                                         And when you, especially in higher levels, when you get a new bunkie, the first thing you do.
                                         
                                         So if I'm already in the cell and my old bunkie
                                         
                                         leaves and a new one's coming in, I take my
                                         
                                         PSI, which has all your information
                                         
                                         in it, and I pin it to the board.
                                         
    
                                         That way they know, too, like,
                                         
                                         hey, my shit's up there. Give me your PSI.
                                         
                                         Oh, tit for tat.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and then this is a big red flag
                                         
                                         when they go, oh, they didn't give me one.
                                         
                                         Yeah. No, then you
                                         
                                         don't let them babysit.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but they might not just
                                         
    
                                         be chows, they might be rats too.
                                         
                                         Wait, would that be on their
                                         
                                         fucking... I think a rat would have a fake one.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah. Well,
                                         
                                         no, because these guys,
                                         
                                         yeah, you would think that, right? But this place
                                         
                                         is so fucked, they don't even think of anything.
                                         
                                         So they'll send
                                         
    
                                         a snitch in here
                                         
                                         with their psi and if they have codicil it'll say what they told that yeah he was the one that shot

                                         faces flashed and stuff yeah there was a tracy's looking it up there was a word they used for
                                         
                                         it wasn't just an informant he was was a blank, like, serial informant.
                                         
                                         CI, confidential.
                                         
                                         No, no, no, like the amount of informing he did.
                                         
                                         Oh, like he's a gold level?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Prolific.
                                         
                                         He's got a platinum card.
                                         
                                         PPI.
                                         
                                         A PPI.
                                         
                                         Yeah, those guys get it bad. No one respects any of those guys.
                                         
                                         It got to the point where I remember being in a higher level
                                         
                                         and sitting down at chow, and there's a table.
                                         
    
                                         You don't get to choose your table.
                                         
                                         So I sat down with three other guys there,
                                         
                                         and they're having this philosophical debate, these two idiots.
                                         
                                         And one says, I sit down in the middle, and he says,
                                         
                                         so if my sister gets raped and she calls a cop, she's a rat?
                                         
                                         And the guy's like, yep, she's a rat.
                                         
                                         I'm like, come, that's not.
                                         
                                         That's not a fucking rat.
                                         
    
                                         She's not an owl.
                                         
                                         She has to call the cops.
                                         
                                         I guess it depends on if your dad is the one who raped her.
                                         
                                         Oh yeah, don't say nothing about that.
                                         
                                         Keep that in the family.
                                         
                                         Keep that in the family.
                                         
                                         You know that shit.
                                         
                                         You know that shit, do we?
                                         
    
                                         I'm not going to be able to hear the song?
                                         
                                         Never.
                                         
                                         Well, 2025.

                                         She could send you the music sheet.
                                         
                                         You could learn an instrument and play it.
                                         
                                         Prison Jug Band.

                                         Here it is.
                                         
                                         Little Bobby.
                                         
                                         It'll tell us that he's gone. Thank you for using GTL.
                                         
                                         Nah.
                                         
                                         You could have cut to the middle.
                                         
                                         I wonder if Bobby will hear that right before he dies.
                                         
                                         No, I meant you have one minute remaining.
                                         
                                         I meant you have one minute remaining.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe we'll all hear it before we die.
                                         
                                         Clutch our chest.
                                         
                                         You are listening to the Doug Stanhope Podcast.
                                         
                                         I should have thought of that earlier.
                                         
                                         Fucking Bailey's Whiskey Coffee.
                                         
                                         I went right into cocktails, panicking early in the afternoon. Wait, you did cocktails at 5 a.m.?
                                         
                                         I did a cocktail at 5 a.m. with a downer,
                                         
                                         and then I fell asleep to like 45 minutes left of Italian.
                                         
    
                                         That's the worst.
                                         
                                         I was trying to fucking...
                                         
                                         They talk so goddamn fast.
                                         
                                         You're trying to read that fast,
                                         
                                         and then you're fighting a downer
                                         
                                         to try to get the last 45 minutes done,
                                         
                                         and I just put on ocean waves.
                                         
                                         Slept.
                                         
    
                                         It's nice.
                                         
                                         That poor dog doesn't know what to do with himself.
                                         
                                         All this outdoor hideaway...
                                         
                                         Yeah, hideaway spots are covered in snow
                                         
                                         so he has to be inside and
                                         
                                         fucking look at me. She, whatever.
                                         
                                         We're not fucking anymore.
                                         
                                         What's it matter?
                                         
    
                                         Did somebody there just assume
                                         
                                         Henry's gender?
                                         
                                         That's true. They.
                                         
                                         I wonder if Jack and Dino has that nickname for that reason so people call him they
                                         
                                         it's really the most confusing fucking nickname for one person is jack and dino
                                         
                                         and it like just like your email address and fucking hinty and no one has a good story for
                                         
                                         why they're called something well i have an email address from late 1992, 93.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And it's the same one.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         It's just like, why would you pick that?
                                         
                                         And every time you explain it, you go, I still don't.
                                         
                                         I had no idea someone would have, in the future,
                                         
                                         everyone's name would be attached to an email address.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         When I named my stuff after my motorcycle,
                                         
    
                                         I definitely did not think that anybody would ask me what it meant ever.
                                         
                                         It was just something I would remember.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I had some, but they were like, what was it?
                                         
                                         Fucking stink chicken or something.
                                         
                                         Stink chicken.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         That was my first email address.
                                         
                                         But it just sounded funny.
                                         
                                         It's like no one says, what does that mean? address. But it just sounded funny.
                                         
                                         It's like no one says, what does that mean?
                                         
                                         It's just something funny to say, stink chicken. I had AZ Outlaw was my first one that I really liked,
                                         
                                         and spam took it over.
                                         
                                         I could no longer keep up with deleting things that were coming into it.
                                         
                                         That was years ago, though.
                                         
    
                                         Speaking of AZ Outlaw,
                                         
                                         now that Bobby's off, so what's your

                                         Well, he doesn't know the story.
                                         
                                         He knows they're fucking white supremacists,
                                         
                                         even though that guy's Hispanic.
                                         
                                         That is odd.
                                         
    
                                         That's odd.

                                         production and distribution
                                         
                                         but you have no fucking enforcement
                                         
                                         whatsoever. You can't
                                         
    
                                         start a fucking
                                         
                                         strong arm fucking company
                                         
                                         with no strong arms. So
                                         
                                         yeah, I would imagine that they have
                                         
                                         a... Like lieutenants or something.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         You know, even
                                         
                                         motorcycle gangs and stuff have likeant-at-arms.
                                         
    
                                         I'm sure the Proud Boys have a group that is enforcers
                                         
                                         that will probably fuck that dude up with his family and his life.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         Maybe they'll just make memes about him.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         How much do you know about meth?
                                         
                                         As far as Breaking Bad goes,
                                         
                                         is there such thing as making a quality of meth that's that outrageous that everyone wants it?
                                         
    
                                         I thought it would just be, okay, this is meth or cocaine.
                                         
                                         All cocaine is pure, and it's just a matter of how much you cut it.
                                         
                                         I would doubt that there's some cocaine that's way more cokie than other coke.
                                         
                                         that there's some cocaine that's way more cokie than other coke.
                                         
                                         I've been close.
                                         
                                         The closest I've been to the production of meth is they would bring it to cut it all up at my house, and they would bring it in Pyrex pans and just smash it down into big, huge chunks and smash it all up.
                                         
                                         But I do know that there was different chemicals in different,
                                         
                                         different batches would look different depending on what they made it out of,
                                         
    
                                         I would notice.
                                         
                                         Would you be more likely to wear a mask in that situation or in COVID?
                                         
                                         I was too busy looking for errant $80 chunks of meth
                                         
                                         that would fly off into the corner of my kitchen
                                         
                                         and hope that those guys wouldn't notice it
                                         
                                         so that I could skim a little extra
                                         
                                         off of what I was getting
                                         
                                         for being the
                                         
    
                                         distribution location, I guess.
                                         
                                         Sort of bagged everything up and
                                         
                                         weighed it.
                                         
                                         Remember I told you when I was cleaning out
                                         
                                         one of the cabinets that I
                                         
                                         never clean out?
                                         
                                         I found...
                                         
                                         Shit.
                                         
    
                                         I think I'm going to take this.
                                         
                                         I think this is DirecTV.
                                         
                                         Hang on.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Here we go.

                                         Let me tell them.
                                         
    
                                         Hello.

                                         Hello?
                                         
                                         Hello.
                                         
                                         Is Doug available?
                                         
                                         This is Doug.
                                         
                                         Doug, this phone call is being monitored and recorded for entertainment purposes. How can I help you?
                                         
                                         Hi, Doug. My name is Tyler Worthy. I'm the president. I tried calling you a couple of times to see if you needed help with your remote.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, well, we had a couple of remotes that finally, after weeks of phone calls and direct messages, I finally got those remotes and figured out how to do them on my own
                                         
                                         because you kept telling me, oh, we tried to get a hold of you at this number
                                         
                                         and we left you a voice message, but you didn't.
                                         
                                         You never did.
                                         
                                         You just kept saying that.
                                         
                                         So on the podcast here, what we're doing right now,
                                         
                                         and it's funny that you should chime in,
                                         
                                         podcast here what we're what we're uh doing right now and it's funny that you should chime in is uh we're trying to implore all of our listeners to do a direct dump monday the day after super
                                         
    
                                         bowl because when i tweet about direct tv and my problems i get two basic responses one is
                                         
                                         why the hell do you still have direct tv it's a ripoff use youtube tv use this and that and hulu and roku

                                         with them is for nfl package so i'm sure by next season we can figure out another way to watch
                                         
                                         all the nfl channels we'll figure out a way to steal it. Our listeners are good like that.
                                         
                                         But in the meantime, we're trying to get a collective dump going of everyone dumping
                                         
                                         DirecTV on Monday morning after the Super Bowl.
                                         
                                         It's a nice way, I think, to like there's an angst that comes with the end of football
                                         
    
                                         season, especially this year.
                                         
                                         You know, a lot of people needed that escapism and without that they should
                                         
                                         at least be able to lash out and dump your overpriced product how many channels of hbo do
                                         
                                         you need to watch dr doolittle on seven different channels at seven different times during the day
                                         
                                         how much do i pay for that still there i don't, I'm still here. I'd have to look specifically at your
                                         
                                         billing ledger.

                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         That was very specific.
                                         
                                         You know, our friend Chad, he's here on the podcast,
                                         
                                         and he just started Breaking Bad,
                                         
                                         so he's doing a dump blockbuster tale.
                                         
    
                                         I'm going to cut up my card.
                                         
                                         Is there anything good to watch on any of those channels anymore, Tyler?
                                         
                                         hard is there anything good to watch on any of those channels anymore tyler because i i just cruise through the the guide on hbo and showtime and stars and i don't know why like the movie
                                         
                                         channel is the one i don't get and that's the only time i see something that i want and sometimes
                                         
                                         they put it on for free and you go oh all those movies aren't there anymore. What's the last good thing you watched on DirecTV, Tyler?
                                         
                                         Fargo. The series
                                         
                                         or the movie? The series.
                                         
                                         Season 4. I have not seen
                                         
    
                                         that yet. That's the one with Chris Rock.
                                         
                                         Oh yeah, I could probably watch that.
                                         
                                         You know, I saw it the other day that it was
                                         
                                         amazing and I recorded it.
                                         
                                         I hadn't seen it in such a long time.
                                         
                                         Porky's. So I recorded
                                         
                                         it so we can get rid of DirecTV.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
    
                                         What can you do for us, Tyler?
                                         
                                         What kind of deal can you cut us to just end Dump DirecTV Day?
                                         
                                         Stop it in its tracks.
                                         
                                         Well, let's take a look.
                                         
                                         You know what you should do, Tyler?
                                         
                                         And I know this might come across, like if it was someone else's podcast,
                                         
                                         this might come across as somewhat not fitting with the times,
                                         
                                         but have you ever considered changing your phone name
                                         
    
                                         to like Sanjay?
                                         
                                         You know how Indian call centers take on an American name.
                                         
                                         You ever think about going the other way?
                                         
                                         Like Lakshmi?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Lakshmi.
                                         
                                         Can't say that I have.
                                         
                                         Well, now I put that in your bean.
                                         
    
                                         Soak on that for overnight.
                                         
                                         Bring that up at the next Zoom meeting.
                                         
                                         Sanjay.
                                         
                                         You still crunching numbers there?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'm looking to see what we can do for you.
                                         
                                         I think we have a moment to see what's available.
                                         
                                         What's been your most embarrassing moment working from home?
                                         
                                         Have you ever had a kid run through a phone call with flatulence?
                                         
    
                                         No, I haven't had anything like that.
                                         
                                         Your wife coming in drunk and saying,
                                         
                                         you never amounted to anything.
                                         
                                         You're still on the phone?
                                         
                                         Nothing like that.
                                         
                                         Do you ever say, I'm sorry, this is Jake from State Farm.
                                         
                                         Let me reconnect you to the right department.
                                         
                                         No, that wouldn't go over very well.
                                         
    
                                         This is a party line?
                                         
                                         If there weren't so much snow
                                         
                                         and slush and ice in my driveway,
                                         
                                         I'd make one of my interns here
                                         
                                         run to get my telemarketing
                                         
                                         trophy and I'd stroke it gently while we
                                         
                                         talked to intimidate you.
                                         
                                         Hey, this is something that happens

                                         accidentally hang up on them?
                                         
                                         I can't say that's ever happened, no.
                                         
                                         You can't say.
                                         
                                         Good answer.

                                         You're being honest. You're skirting
                                         
                                         the questions. You're a good attorney.
                                         
                                         He's answering correctly.
                                         
                                         I can't say that I have ever
                                         
                                         done that. All he said is he can't say
                                         
                                         recollection yeah it's also he could have said why would i say that i've ever done that
                                         
                                         would have been the same answer tyler this is my what like as as a usual like angry customer
                                         
                                         i always wonder why they don't have voice recognition while you're on hold.
                                         
    
                                         So they know if you're screaming vulgarities, you fucking be my mother.
                                         
                                         That they would hear that you're screaming obscenities and transfer you to someone who's trained to deal with.
                                         
                                         Auto transfer.

                                         the South Fork of the Payette? You ever do
                                         
                                         a little whitewater? I have.
                                         
                                         Beautiful. It is gorgeous.
                                         
                                         My dad almost fell out of the
                                         
                                         boat once. He was trying to impress his wife
                                         
                                         that was leaving him. And so he went
                                         
    
                                         whitewater rafting. He was a big...
                                         
                                         Wait, is he going to drown to impress her?
                                         
                                         Well, he didn't want to go whitewater rafting.
                                         
                                         He just got in the boat because she did the allagash,
                                         
                                         like category four whitewaters.
                                         
                                         Oh, wow.
                                         
                                         And now that she was leaving him,
                                         
                                         but they already planned a vacation to come see me up and crouch.
                                         
    
                                         Crouch.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So he, oh, sure, Gail, I'll go.
                                         
                                         And then he could barely get in the boat.
                                         
                                         He's like this 65-year-old Eggman guy. You know,
                                         
                                         hanker for a hunk of cheese Eggman.
                                         
                                         He's all torso
                                         
                                         and no legs.
                                         
    
                                         And they say, whatever you do,
                                         
                                         if you're in the front where he was,
                                         
                                         when we hit the rough stuff,
                                         
                                         keep paddling.
                                         
                                         Whatever you do, stop paddling.
                                         
                                         And as soon as the first trickle
                                         
                                         of white water, my dad's diving into the middle of the boat, crying.
                                         
                                         Hit the deck.

                                         I love you, Tyler.
                                         
                                         I'm not afraid to say it.
                                         
                                         Just by hanging up, you intimate that you love me back.
                                         
                                         You totally didn't get that deal.
                                         
                                         He didn't ask you to verify it or nothing.
                                         
    
                                         All right, thanks, Tyler.
                                         
                                         Thanks for taking the call.

                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Hi, Tyler.
                                         
                                         I guess I don't have to believe his name.
                                         
                                         He's probably the only guy that's not anywhere near show business that still wouldn't listen to this podcast, even though he's on it.
                                         
                                         I'm going to guess that he already has listened to the podcast or at least knew who you were before
                                         
                                         because I can't get people to stay on the phone
                                         
    
                                         fucking trying to be goofy for that long.
                                         
                                         You can keep them on a little bit.
                                         
                                         No, the only reason they're calling me like this
                                         
                                         is because I'm verified to have a lot of followers.
                                         
                                         And this all started through Twitter DM.
                                         
                                         If I was just some chump on the phone, fuck you.
                                         
                                         Oops, I accidentally hung up.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's me.
                                         
    
                                         They've called me at least five times since I just said, fuck you.
                                         
                                         So, yeah, they're scared.
                                         
                                         I think you're on to something with the heat indicator.
                                         
                                         Like some algorithm picks up aggressive, like real hot talk,
                                         
                                         and it just automatically dumps you to a robot that says,
                                         
                                         we're experiencing a high volume of calls or whatever.
                                         
                                         That's a good one.
                                         
                                         That'll happen.
                                         
    
                                         That's going to be the end of the future.
                                         
                                         Yeah, or the guy.
                                         
                                         When I did telemarketing, I was known as the customer abuse department.
                                         
                                         It worked the other way.
                                         
                                         We were calling out.
                                         
                                         But if someone gave a salesman a ration of shit, they'd give it to me because I was the most creative in my vengeance prank calls.
                                         
                                         Hey, about the call, just because security and stuff like that.
                                         
                                         We know his name was, but I'm going to put in Tyler instead.
                                         
    
                                         I'm just going to slide it in there as a fake name.
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
                                         Chaley is always looking out for the little guy.
                                         
                                         Well, you know, we got our deal.
                                         
                                         He doesn't want to get in trouble.
                                         
    
                                         That was never established.
                                         
                                         I agree with Chad.
                                         
                                         Every time they give you
                                         
                                         one of those deals, you have to agree
                                         
                                         verbally like four different times
                                         
                                         like you're fucking buying a car.
                                         
                                         Like an electronic signature
                                         
                                         or something.
                                         
    
                                         I should
                                         
                                         have held out for
                                         
                                         sponsorship.
                                         
                                         Don't push it. We just basically
                                         
                                         sold out for $25
                                         
                                         a month live online.
                                         
                                         We could have said, hey, make DirecTV a sponsor.
                                         
                                         Well, you were going to hang up
                                         
    
                                         and we were going to get nothing.
                                         
                                         And you asked him to tweak it to where we get money.
                                         
                                         I sold out for $25 a month.
                                         
                                         I was looking for the entertainment value in Tyler Chaley.
                                         
                                         I wasn't looking at the bottom line.
                                         
                                         We got both, sir.
                                         
                                         Who knew DirecTV was going to save this fucking podcast?
                                         
                                         Good job.
                                         
    
                                         I thought that was hilarious.
                                         
                                         I did, too.
                                         
                                         I think we should play the number and quit while we're ahead.
                                         
                                         Quit while we're behind.
                                         
                                         That's a fucking glorious cloud of smoke there, Chad.
                                         
                                         The way the sun is hitting that. Yeah, look at that.
                                         
                                         I looked at it as soon as you said
                                         
                                         that.
                                         
    
                                         I'm only saying this because
                                         
                                         every time Valentina takes
                                         
                                         a lot of work calls
                                         
                                         over here on the Zoom,
                                         
                                         and there's one guy she works with that
                                         
                                         every time I hear his voice, I try to remember
                                         
                                         until the end of the call to say,
                                         
                                         and now I have to play it for as soon as
                                         
    
                                         we're done, but he sounds just like
                                         
                                         J.D. Harmeyer from the Stern Show.

                                         So, yeah, write that down in

                                         So I joined my first Patreon over there.
                                         
                                         I really like Shuley.
                                         
                                         And I have nothing against it.
                                         
                                         I'm not dumping the Sirius because of Stern.
                                         
                                         It's just we're not on the road.
                                         
                                         I don't listen to Sirius XM radio. And now that I've figured out how to fucking finally get audible in the car,
                                         
                                         there's no reason to have fucking radio. I don't how to fucking finally get audible in the car. There's no reason to have
                                         
                                         fucking radio. I don't listen to music.
                                         
    
                                         I only listen... Well, I mean, you can listen to it
                                         
                                         on your phone, and we have wireless
                                         
                                         in the car that is not dependent on
                                         
                                         Sirius. Yeah, I'm saying, I don't...
                                         
                                         Also AT&T, by the way.
                                         
                                         It was like $274.
                                         
                                         I paid for...
                                         
                                         No, I think for the year, but I don't
                                         
    
                                         know which cars have it and how.
                                         
                                         I got to get rid of it.
                                         
                                         That's how they fix, that's how they justify charging me $399 for the year,
                                         
                                         is they give people that don't look at their bill and charge them $300 for the year and average it out.
                                         
                                         Wait, did you say?
                                         
                                         I think it's $8 maybe a month or five bucks a month yeah you don't
                                         
                                         get like on demand no no i'll lose a lot of stuff and one of the things is stern and i will miss it
                                         
                                         because i like listening to stern but i'll i haven't i liked it as much uh since it went to
                                         
    
                                         the you know uh uh lockdown in the last year that shows it's it's changed and stuff and become a
                                         
                                         little redundant for me but shuley was one of the reasons why i liked show, it's changed and stuff and become a little redundant for me.
                                         
                                         But Shuley was one of the reasons why I still liked it.
                                         
                                         Shuley's a funny guy.
                                         
                                         So I followed his podcast.
                                         
                                         Yeah, if I'm not driving fucking seven hours between Pittsburgh
                                         
                                         and Pennsylvania, I don't need Sirius Radio.
                                         
                                         Well, I mean, it ended up that we weren't even listening to Sirius.
                                         
    
                                         We were listening to podcasts and Audible books.
                                         
                                         I mean, that was what the last two or three years of running on the road,
                                         
                                         that's what it was.
                                         
                                         We would listen to something until we got out of town.
                                         
                                         But when we got going, yeah.
                                         
                                         Shut up.
                                         
                                         Listen to the book.
                                         
                                         Matt Stock sent me his book uh it's called
                                         
    
                                         life in the stocks voracious conversations with musicians and creatives volume one and uh like we
                                         
                                         talked about uh you know he put my fucking not only am i in the book, he did interview me in London in 2018,
                                         
                                         and he intersperses the interviews based on subjects.
                                         
                                         So it's pretty cool.
                                         
                                         I thumbed through it, and I saw some shit that I said,
                                         
                                         and I went, yeah, that's the problem with interviews,
                                         
                                         is I just say the same things because mostly you get the same questions.
                                         
                                         So it's kind of boring for me to read myself.
                                         
    
                                         Most of the other ones are musicians.

                                         Nothing yet, huh?
                                         
                                         Kyle Gass from Tenacious D.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Laura Jane Grace.
                                         
    
                                         Well, you probably know the bands.
                                         
                                         Well, I mean, anyway.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What are you talking to the bass players?
                                         
                                         Tom Green's in it.
                                         
                                         Put your singer or your guitarist up.
                                         
                                         Well, it's usually more recognizable.
                                         
                                         Steven Van Zandt.
                                         
    
                                         I know that one.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Tom Green's in it.
                                         
                                         Steve-O is in it.
                                         
                                         So, yeah.
                                         
                                         It's probably worth it. It's an illustration on the cover.
                                         
                                         It looks like your Cadillac on the cover.
                                         
                                         Well, it's Fear and Loathing.
                                         
    
                                         It's the Fear and Loathing Cadillac where he put himself as the Johnny Depp character,
                                         
                                         not Hunter S. Thompson.
                                         
                                         In his own words, you'll see I put myself as the Johnny Depp character.
                                         
                                         Well, that would be the Hunter S. Thompson character.
                                         
                                         That's the same thing, isn't it?
                                         
                                         It is kind of.
                                         
                                         Unless there's a picture.
                                         
                                         I'll read it.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Put you in your green.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that was the, what's her name?
                                         
                                         Designer.

                                         Yes, Lily Pulitzer.
                                         
                                         This guy sent me a book called Spinning Karma by Josh Samuel Brown.
                                         
    
                                         It's a novel, and they sent a nice letter with it that I have not read.
                                         
                                         So I'm thanking you in advance.
                                         
                                         Sorry, I've been very busy.
                                         
                                         Let's just send that to Bobby.
                                         
                                         I didn't even have time to watch 1917 at real speed.
                                         
                                         I had to fast forward through it and get it done in 50 minutes.
                                         
                                         Doug, let's send all of the letters that you don't read to Bobby
                                         
                                         and then he will respond as you.
                                         
    
                                         Well, I was going to tell people, if you order merch from the merch store,
                                         
                                         we have plenty of merch for you waiting.
                                         
                                         from the merch store and we have plenty of merch for you waiting.
                                         
                                         You know, all the letters and cards we get that I enjoy and sometimes they're silly or they're from prisons or they're weepy.
                                         
                                         We include that.
                                         
                                         I don't throw these away.
                                         
                                         We put them in the merch and send fan letters to me onto other people.
                                         
                                         Wouldn't it be weird if you ordered merch and got your own fan letter
                                         
    
                                         from prison?
                                         
                                         I put a letter in
                                         
                                         so I make sure it's not going
                                         
                                         to like the same stage.
                                         
                                         Wait, Tracy,
                                         
                                         how,
                                         
                                         what's the percentage
                                         
                                         of merch items
                                         
    
                                         that go out
                                         
                                         with something extra in them?
                                         
                                         With anything extra?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         100%.
                                         
                                         So I'm just,

                                         Whether it's an extra sticker
                                         
                                         or stuff.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we're going to save that.
                                         
                                         There's nothing to say.
                                         
                                         Save.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         No one knows what you're talking about.
                                         
    
                                         You don't have to respond with,
                                         
                                         we have to save that.
                                         
                                         No, Valentina just came in and she said,
                                         
                                         do you want me to talk about getting the vaccination?
                                         
                                         We should save that for...
                                         
                                         We're at hour 21 right now.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we're done.
                                         
                                         Did you say thank you to Stephanie
                                         
    
                                         for sending the John Norris cutout?
                                         
                                         Oh, so, all right.
                                         
                                         Thank you, Steph.
                                         
                                         I think we're... I don't know.
                                         
                                         We still don't know who sent the Queen Elizabeth
                                         
                                         or the girl with her head cut off.
                                         
                                         No, the one that looks like a bull on top.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         But she didn't show up in the happy hour.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So that was weird.
                                         
                                         I did not read it.
                                         
                                         What does it say?
                                         
                                         Oh, well, there you go.
                                         
                                         That's Josh Samuel Brown.
                                         
                                         Wait, is he accusing him of something?
                                         
    
                                         Hold on a second.
                                         
                                         Maybe we don't want to say this.
                                         
                                         I watched The Fucking Bachelor the other night,
                                         
                                         and I tried to live-
                                         
                                         Wait, the show?
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's so bad.
                                         
                                         Of course it is.
                                         
                                         Why would you even watch it?
                                         
    
                                         Because it was Monday night, and there's no Monday night football.
                                         
                                         She had it on anyway.
                                         
                                         I go, I'm going to get high and live tweet The Bachelor, and it was monday night and there's no monday night football she had it on anyway i go i'm gonna get high and live tweet the bachelor and it was so bad like i thought i could
                                         
                                         be funny with it and it's just so repulsively everything that's fucking wrong with this country
                                         
                                         and and and i but i remember at one point saying i wish they'd do this with Eddie Pepitone as the bachelor. I just watch all these fucking phony bitches act like they're not disturbed by that.
                                         
                                         They'll get it annulled within five days.
                                         
                                         I'm not sleeping with that guy.
                                         
                                         I don't even know if they get married.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know what happens with that.
                                         
                                         I just thought I was high and I go, I'll goof on it.
                                         
                                         And it was, fuck, the amount of likes.
                                         
                                         I was counting them there were more likes
                                         
                                         in one run-on sentence from one of those fucking bimbos than there are needle shots in one uh news
                                         
                                         story about covid uh hey uh it's been it's been uh brought to our attention that people want to
                                         
                                         know where to buy the cutouts because we're coming up on super bowl and all the cutouts
                                         
                                         for the most part the people that have been getting them are getting them from Shindig's.
                                         
    
                                         If I knew we were going to get this many, I would have cut a fucking deal with Shindig's.
                                         
                                         You would have had a promo code Stanhope and gotten a fucking discount.
                                         
                                         But yes, rain or shine, those will be going out everywhere for Super Bowl.
                                         
                                         Shindig's is S-H-I-N-D-I-G-Z.com.
                                         
                                         It's the Z that makes it crazy.
                                         
                                         It's like Nicky with a Y.
                                         
                                         Strippers were never the same.

                                         And now that this is officially out there, we'll actually have the time to do that and just have fun and get back to doing that.
                                         
                                         But we're super stoked,
                                         
    
                                         and thank you guys so much for the support.
                                         
                                         It means a lot.
                                         
                                         Hey, what if me, Chad, and Chaley
                                         
                                         all wrote our own songs,
                                         
                                         and then you have to put them to music?
                                         
                                         Would you do that?
                                         
                                         We could do it.
                                         
                                         I'd love that, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         We could do it.
                                         
                                         That would be a lot of fun, actually.
                                         
                                         Mine would be a rap song.
                                         
                                         I'm going Swedish death metal.
                                         
                                         Black metal, I think you'd call it.
                                         
                                         I don't know music, so I'm just going to write the lyrics,
                                         
                                         and I'll dig through it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         We'll make them one-minute songs.
                                         
                                         You don't need a fucking bridge.
                                         
                                         One-minute song?
                                         
                                         Yeah, a short song, like fucking Fat Mike.
                                         
                                         First chorus.
                                         
                                         Is it all no effects?
                                         
                                         Like a minute and a half or two minutes?
                                         
                                         Aren't punk rock like, okay, how long
                                         
    
                                         could people listen to this? Let's do
                                         
                                         15 seconds more than that.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         They could be short songs.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we could definitely do that.
                                         
                                         What's wrong with a one minute song?
                                         
                                         Nothing. You're right.
                                         
                                         I learn more music off of commercials than those 30 seconds.
                                         
    
                                         One minute seemed long to me, if we're being honest.
                                         
                                         All right, so I guess Bingo and Tarek, Vodka Juice Box,
                                         
                                         take us out live with this new mastered version

                                         Number one with a bullet.
                                         
                                         Unattended.

                                         I had to tell someone
                                         
                                         Hey there stranger, I've been feeling the same
                                         
                                         Let me show you come outside and stand in the rain
                                         
                                         that's what I do when I feel this way
                                         
                                         Is my old shadow hiding from me?
                                         
                                         Because there's no one else to hide from We may be unattended
                                         
                                         But we're never alone Mae'n ddiddorol. Mae'n ddiddorol. Mae'n ddiddorol.

                                         Mae'n ddiddorol. Mae'n ddiddorol. Mae'n ddiddorol. I want to feel something
                                         
                                         I want to feel
                                         
                                         You're a shadow hiding from me
                                         
                                         Cause there's no one else to hide from
                                         
                                         We may be unattended
