10-minute podcast live from Daytona Beach, and now we have Greg Chaley, Chad Shank, and Junior Stopka has taken the Andy chair, and you started this whole tour. Yeah. You bought a car for 500 bucks from a busboy. That's a good way to start a tour. Well, there was no check engine light until about 100 miles ago. But, yeah, in Chicago. And the three of you are traveling together.

You started this doing a suicide benefit for a kid that committed suicide? Yeah. How did that come about? I don't know, but I think we made people commit more suicides after that show because it was not very good. What town was that? That was in Sarasota. How do you get

fingered to be the comedy act for a suicide benefit, the three of you? That was a mistake. Whose hookup was that? I think that was Andy's. Andy? Sounds right. I mean, on paper.

Remember a one and done from the Super Bowl party? Her kid killed himself. One and Done. Anyway, it was a friend of mine whose kid he died two years ago on the 22nd and asked if I'd come back and do comedy on the 22nd for her kid. And she did. Yeah, so that's how it started. Oh, wait. wait oh it's a

chick oh okay yeah those t-shirts available she made t-shirts she was so much or t-shirt I thought you're just saying that you had the hubris of sell merch she had her own merch it was was her therapy merch, really. Therapy merch? Yeah, she makes clothes of her kid for therapy. Was it like an evidence photo? Crime scene photo of the kid hanging from an eye beam? Well, no, it's weird. It looks like the 1980s picture of a lady.

That was not her son. But on the bottom, there's a patch that says, R.I.P. Blank Blank. What event do you wear that to? Hey, honey, grab my Suicide Kid t-shirt, because I'm gonna do... I think that's a painting. Does this go with my Suicide shirt?

The shirt has fake bloodstains on it. No! Do you have one? Yeah. Oh, Jesus, I gotta see that. You should wear it tonight. Wear it on stage. You could go with the slogan, like, don't do it, or something like Nike had, just do it. I remember Doug called me. I was like, do you have any stories?

I go, no. Doug goes, you will. He was right. He was right. Was that after you bought the $500 car? Because that's a story. I'm afraid to drive a $500 car across town. You guys are driving it across the country. I love that the tour

hinges on it. Yeah. They had to have it, or they were canceling dates. Drove to Florida from Chicago. They evidently picked up another date in town on Sunday night. Oh, we did? Oh. I'm not doing that. I thought you were doing that.

And I ain't driving there. I thought you told me that. You told me that. I didn't tell doing that. I'm not doing that. And I ain't driving there. I thought you told me that. I didn't tell you that. You said, yeah, I guess we got picked up a Sunday on the night off. What? No, we have a night off. Oh, okay. I thought you were happy that you were out. Oh, hell no.

I want a day off. Every show is heckling and just people falling down in the middle of our shows Bleeding and death Someone fell Tell us about the chick that launched herself This was the greatest I've never seen a heckler shut herself down

Like that It was this lady Who's on stage first of all The host No this was before the show You're like oh that lady's lady's going to be a problem. You know? She's already drinking.

She's shaking my hand hard, looking me in the eye. I go, uh-oh. The one. The one is here. She's heckling everybody. So they're like, we better get Rouse up there because before he drinks himself. Yeah. He's the clean-off crew.

He's the guy from Slapshot, the three guys with the glasses. Hanson Brothers. Yeah, get him in there, and then the rest of the game will be nice and calm. So just like he's dealing with her, and she's heckling, you know, I like you, avocado. So you can't make it out. What town? This was in, no, no, Tampa.

Tampa. No, no, Dirty Nellie's is where? Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay, yeah. So we were at Dirty Nellie's, and I think Shauna's is like 15 minutes in. We gave him a long time to deal with her, like maybe 20 minutes in. She wakes, she stands up. Yeah, she stands up to take a drunken stretch or charge the stage, one of the two.

And then I've never seen anything like it. She does a complete front flip and hits her face right on the ground. And the bouncer came in like, all right, you got to go. But she still stayed. They still let her stay because she's a regular. And then everyone's like, well, she was paid to be here. Oh, a confederate. There was a confederate.

No, everyone thought we paid her to be there. That's how good of a heckler she was. Thought it was a plant. It was a plant. Clean. It was beautiful. Never in 25 years of comedy have I ever known any comic ever to use a plant except for one guy that did a

fake psychic act at one point. It was part of the show. He had one plant because he needed it for the show. It was kind of obby. When you tear a fucking heckler to pieces just so skillfully and brutally,

and people go, oh, yeah, it was part of the show, right? Clearly. No, no, I was fucking brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. That was just kind of an insult. That was a plan. No, it wasn't.

You couldn't have been that good on your own. I'm imagining what it would look like if they planted somebody in the office. How horrible that would go. I'll tell you. We did that when we were in Texas. Texas. It was a coffee house that had a tent.

Oh, yeah. And Johnny Meat Sticks wanted to do something to where he was going to heckle you and you're like, Shaylee, that's a horrible idea, but I think you should do it. You didn't tell me to do it because you wanted me to do it because you knew it was good. I think he held up a Bible and started screaming. But you knew this was going to go bad.

This was basically a plant. And I went along with it. I would try and shut him down. And before this all happened, it was like right when you started he was holding up this performance art kind of piece where he's like, gonna hold the Bible. There were bikers that were on him before I could go, this is a plant!

This is part of the show! I couldn't even get over there. They were already fucking grabbing him. He's like, hey! It was so bad. A total lesson I learned was you have to be fucking real in what you're doing up there. Because if you try any kind of fucking thing like that. Yeah, he had planned some whole thing.

The whole thing. And it never went past the first little bit where he stands up. And they were dragging him the fuck out of there. Yeah, I mean, I assumed it was going to have a payoff. Like, all right, this is a prank. You knew. It's not a plant. There was no.

I was not engaging with him. No, you knew that it was going to be a little goofy thing at the front, and there really was no payoff. And you heard the whole pitch, and you're like, yeah, Shaylee, that's not going to work, but you should do it. Yeah, so fuck you. Weren't you guys plants one time?

Andy was telling me you guys went to some Christian... Oh, that was a city council meeting where we went and argued. They were voting on legalized gambling on the riverboats, and we decided to go down and fuck with them. And I go, all right, I'll be good cop, you be bad cop. So he found some weird Bible passage and just stood up and started yelling, where is that money going to? It says right here in the Bible and it's something about

if your fucking donkey falls in another man's hole and breaks its leg then you owe that guy a donkey. Just some completely random fucking bullshit. And he storms out and then I didn't have the balls to get up because I was sober.

I left him hanging. If your donkey falls in another guy's hole, you owe him a donkey as our rule for this weekend, too, by the way. Yeah. But I do like that people think it's a conspiracy. Like, yeah, I've seen this. There's plants. You know, just two guys just with their arms folded.

They go, yeah, we've seen this before. What do we got? Oh, yeah, what time is it? We've still got another minute and a half. Oh, okay. Well, bingo gets sprung from the nut hatch. I've got to get that in. I have nothing else to follow it up. She just called last night and said she's getting her exit

paperwork and she had to fill it out and I don't know how long it took her to get out. Never got to see a doctor pass a preliminary examination. A meet and greet. Yeah a preliminary examination A meet and greet Yeah, she got a meet and greet Basically, she got an autograph Took a snapshot, sent her on her way

I hope she kept those prison scrubs I wanted to fly her out here First class in her prison scrubs But she didn't have the mental capacity To go right from there To the airport in Phoenix? Yeah, to the Phoenix airport Two flights in the middle of the night to get here.

So, yeah, she's at home. Would you say she's still feeling blue? Where's the LOLs like I get on Twitter? That's why you're not closing the shows, Junior. You're driving the car. So if you sent mail to Bingo at the hospital, they will forward whatever mail is on its way there. So keep sending it.
