Speaker Time Text
joey diaz
With that fucking title neck, and it just blows up like a python with a fucking sandwich in its throat, and that's it.
doug stanhope
How can you fucking blow alone?
Because you're disgusting like me.
joey diaz
Right.
doug stanhope
Rogan is in a different fucking world.
joey diaz
He's fucking disgusting, too.
unidentified
We're all disgusting.
joey diaz
This fucking guy's disgusting.
This guy's disgusting.
doug stanhope
But to have a girl like you, they just...
Like, fucking you, and she reaches down and touches your gut, and you know it's just like squishy, fucking wet flesh, and there's no tone to it.
All I can think of is you have to be disgusted by this.
And if you're not, there's something wrong with you.
joey diaz
Listen, dog, you're five in the morning.
doug stanhope
Like, how do you not care?
joey diaz
Who's touching your fat?
doug stanhope
I kill all my own boners.
I can't get past how disgusting it must be to fuck me to fuck a girl.
I really do.
But sex is not like a driving force to make me do fucking squats and fucking leg lifts.
joey diaz
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Either they got it or they don't.
doug stanhope
No, the point is, like, how do you not think about how fucking gross it must be to fuck you?
joey diaz
I got good dick.
I got sweet daddy dick.
When this dick is coming at you, I do a good job.
doug stanhope
You watch porn.
If you were into porn, you would turn the porn off.
joey diaz
No, you wouldn't.
Yes, I would.
doug stanhope
A guy likes you.
joey diaz
Listen, I fuck in the dark.
You know what I'm saying?
With a cape on, dog.
I ain't coming up with muscles or sunlight behind me.
With a Brad Pitt in that fucking movie.
Go fuck yourself.
I come in real quick.
I'll bang you when you sleep.
And I'm one of those guys.
doug stanhope
You need a trust to keep your fucking belly on.
You can fuck in the dark, but they feel a fucking...
joe rogan
We're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
O-N-N-I-T. Are we not done with the plugs?
No, we're not.
One more.
Makers of Alpha Brain.
We actually have a start thing here.
The cognitive enhancing supplement that I'm giving to Doug Stanhope.
Doug Stanhope, this in your system right now will cure you of the evil that is the mushrooms.
Because right now your mind is taken over by an organism, by an intelligent life form.
doug stanhope
Thanks, dude, who gave me mushrooms.
I completely dismissed the guy at the merch booth.
I thought he was giving me a poster of something.
He goes, you want to open that later?
And I go, I chuck it in my merch bag, which is scary when I travel.
I have to scour my merch bag.
joe rogan
So this guy hands you a bag of whatever it might be.
doug stanhope
I thought it was a poster.
It was a rolled up giant envelope.
But it had mushrooms in it, so I can't travel with them, so I'm going to fucking...
Usually I just give them away, but fuck it.
I haven't tripped in a year.
joe rogan
So here you go.
doug stanhope
And I'm coming to the Rogan podcast.
joe rogan
And you're on the Alpha Brain.
doug stanhope
I don't even...
Yeah, Alpha Brain.
Let's smoke some pot, too.
I don't even do that.
joe rogan
Okay, awesome.
doug stanhope
Later, later.
It'll really fuck me.
joey diaz
I don't know.
joe rogan
It might be good.
doug stanhope
I have a show tonight.
joey diaz
Let me tell you something.
Alpha Brain is going to take those mushrooms and put you on a different fucking dilemma.
Do you understand?
You're going to go back to Worcester to the Aku Aku.
That's how deep this fucking mushroom is going to take you.
joe rogan
Are you familiar with what nootropics are?
You ever try any of these things?
doug stanhope
No, no.
I'm out of the loop, Joe.
joe rogan
Let's get you in the loop, Doug Stanhope.
Doug Stanhope, you need a podcast.
doug stanhope
My friends tell me, you should shop at the co-op instead of Safeway.
That's the fucking...
joe rogan
Oh, the co-op.
doug stanhope
I'm saying, no, I live in a fucking small town of 6,000 people.
They're not in the loop.
joe rogan
They're not on the internet?
doug stanhope
Well, no.
joe rogan
Once you're on the internet, it's a global world, isn't it?
doug stanhope
You don't need a fucking internet.
It's a town of 6,000 people.
They yell out the window.
joe rogan
Well, that's why you really need the internet, because you're in a town of 6,000 people.
You need to be connected with everything else.
doug stanhope
They talk to each other.
joe rogan
Well, that's all good, too.
But, I mean, just for sanity's sake, keep in the fucking loop.
doug stanhope
Yeah, well...
joe rogan
I'll give you some of these.
doug stanhope
What's it called?
joe rogan
Alpha Brain.
doug stanhope
Alpha Brain.
joe rogan
It's a cognitive enhancing supplement.
We also have New Mood.
That is a 5-HTP serotonin boosting supplement.
doug stanhope
I took three capsules of 0.3 to 0.4 milligrams of mushrooms on the trip here, which was at 130...
joe rogan
Well, who knows how much is it?
You know, when you eat a mushroom, how much of it is like cellulose?
doug stanhope
No, he put them in capsules.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
So it's a gram in his capsule.
Yeah, you might like to...
doug stanhope
You gave me a fucking instruction list.
That's why I was...
joe rogan
Oh, he did it.
doug stanhope
You fucking asshole.
joey diaz
It's like a gram per capsule.
Dog, it's like a gram per capsule.
If you really look at it, it's like a gram in his capsule.
doug stanhope
Whatever, the guy gave me instructions on the fucking...
joe rogan
Well, we hope that the alpha brain doesn't set off the fucking...
joey diaz
Oh, fuck yeah!
doug stanhope
Point is, I wanted to send out my own plug.
Thanks, Guy, who I completely dismissed.
joe rogan
What does he look like?
doug stanhope
I have no idea.
It was a guy I thought was giving me a poster.
joe rogan
He's the universe.
He's just an agent.
doug stanhope
Oh, and by the way...
joe rogan
An agent of the universe.
doug stanhope
Yeah, some guy that fucking tried to barge into the green room.
joe rogan
I brought you the t-shirts.
doug stanhope
I won't plug them.
joe rogan
Hit the music!
Go to fucking JoeRogan.net, click on the link, enter in the code name ROGAN, and get 10% off your alpha brain supplements.
That was one of the best commercials we ever did.
Come on, folks.
I know you don't like the commercials, ladies and gentlemen.
But it's a fucking free podcast, okay?
doug stanhope
I didn't know we were doing commercials.
joe rogan
I know, they're ridiculous.
They're ridiculous.
They need to be edited.
This is a good argument for the necessary having a producer.
doug stanhope
Alright.
joe rogan
We need a real producer.
Yeah, it was fun.
Those are fun commercials.
doug stanhope
How would you know the difference between that and the...
joe rogan
You don't.
That's the fucking point.
doug stanhope
Oh, because you just hit a button and now we're actually talking?
joe rogan
Now it actually is the talking.
I no longer have to promote anything.
But in the beginning, before we start, the way we got it out of the way, we used to just talk about the fleshlight all the time, and then we figured out somewhere along the line.
It's best to just get it out of the way and then go about the podcast.
So that's the...
Yeah, sure.
It seems a little disingenuous.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I'm just...
joe rogan
It's a vehicle.
doug stanhope
I'm a bit scatterbrained.
joe rogan
Doug Stanhope, on his way over here, my good buddy Doug Stanhope, who I've not seen in probably like a year.
A year?
Somewhere around there?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no.
joe rogan
It's been a while?
doug stanhope
Maybe a year and a half since the last time I did the show.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Yeah, yeah.
And when we went to see your live show, dude, I learned something.
I learned I don't like going to shows where I have to stand up.
doug stanhope
Oh, that was a couple years ago.
Was it?
Fucking Kit Kat Club.
unidentified
Kit Kat.
doug stanhope
Yeah, that's like three years ago.
joe rogan
Do you have people sitting down?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I'm doing...
Now that I can cut my own deal, I'm fucking back at the improv.
joe rogan
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, so they just gave up?
They came around?
doug stanhope
I can do an off night.
joe rogan
What's going on with Joey's microphone, bro?
joey diaz
Yo, Mike.
No, they need fucking Bacala.
They got all these open Micas Tuesday, too.
This is Doug fucking Stano.
It's all over.
You got all these fucking mooks during the week.
Bring in this fucking savage.
doug stanhope
But I can do one night there on an off night and bring my own fucking crowd.
joe rogan
You were one of the first guys to figure out how to get your own crowd online.
What you did was really a smart move by just leaving the comedy clubs almost completely and just going to little rock and roll clubs and booking it yourself.
doug stanhope
Yeah, it was all out of spite.
Spite drives you a lot.
joe rogan
It's like a sex drive.
joey diaz
But it was genius.
It was ballsy.
doug stanhope
Hate and needing to fuck.
joey diaz
Letting these motherfuckers know you're a voice and you've got to get the fuck out there.
I don't give a fuck what you do.
You don't want to hire me.
I've got to keep doing what I do.
joe rogan
You did it the best way, though.
You really found your own audience.
You're one of those dudes where you go to see a Stanhope show.
You know it's a fucking Stanhope crowd when you see them walking down the street.
You know?
They're all days from suicide.
They're all smoking.
doug stanhope
I was in Calgary where I actually crossed the street.
I'm looking for the gig.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, we talked about this last time.
joe rogan
Tell it anyway.
doug stanhope
Calgary, there's a train station in front of where the gig was.
So I see all these fucking hoodlums standing.
I think they're waiting for a train.
So I cross the street to get away from them.
And then only to realize that they were waiting not for the train, but that was my gig.
That was the fucking cue for my fucking show that I'm crossing the street to get away from my own fans because it seems scary.
joey diaz
That's one of his fans right there.
Look at Roland Stanhope's fans right there.
That's how he shows up with the outfit.
doug stanhope
Stop making me look at fucking...
joe rogan
There's a dude that's on Fear Factor, this new season of Fear Factor, and there was a thing on CNN about a guy living in a tree.
doug stanhope
Last time I saw you, you were saying, oh, yeah, if they did Fear Factor, I'd suck the devil's dick again.
And now I'm fucking watching football, and here's Joe Rogan's big fucking huge head in my face on 55 inches of Fear Factor.
I love it, though.
joe rogan
They came with the long money, Stan Hope.
They came with that vacation home cash in the middle of the fucking world falling apart.
doug stanhope
We're way too old for fucking talking about selling out or all that shit that young comics care about.
Rivalries.
Dane Cook.
Hey, Dane Cook, thank you very much.
Dane Cook, like, I'm doing this fucking benefit show in Tucson that I was...
It's a long story, but like Dane Cook said, hey, I haven't done stand-up, but I'll help you out.
Like, fuck, thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Like, who gives a shit?
Someone emailed me today about Mencia.
This new Mencia thing is...
joe rogan
I hope it's still hot right now.
doug stanhope
It kind of touches on your bit.
Like, who gives a fuck?
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Oh, you fucking internet snipes.
joey diaz
So was Dane doing the benefit?
doug stanhope
No, he's not.
He hasn't done stand-up in almost a year.
joe rogan
Yeah, he stopped doing stand-up in February.
I ran into him with the premiere of Warriors.
Not to name drop.
It's on the red carpet.
Avoided the paparazzi.
doug stanhope
But even people are, like, snipey about that.
Like, yeah, Danko.
Well, he didn't put the, like, I don't know how Twitter really works, but he didn't put the apostrophe thing in front of it, so he's just telling your own fans that he's promoting it.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Oh, I see what I'm saying.
doug stanhope
I don't know how Twitter works.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, he didn't put the A. People are just still so fucking cunty.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're very cunty.
doug stanhope
We're old people.
joe rogan
Well, people are looking for a reason to be cunty because they're trying to distract themselves from the shit life that they live.
Instead of looking at their life and trying to fucking figure out their real problems, they just go online and just fucking pop.
doug stanhope
But you don't give a fuck about comedy anymore, do you?
joe rogan
I care about good comedy.
I still like it.
doug stanhope
I still enjoy it.
Not the politics.
joe rogan
I don't care at all.
I realize somewhere along the line it's mostly just jealousy and insecurity.
One of the things I realized is people had a shit way of looking at comedy when I used to tell people that I'd take Joey on the road with me.
I'd take people like, who'd you do Rascals with?
Oh, Joey Diaz and I. He goes, you bring fucking Joey Diaz on the road?
What are you, crazy?
You follow Joey Diaz on purpose?
And I couldn't understand it.
I was like, why would you even think like that?
Everybody's worried at every moment that they're not the life of the fucking party.
At every moment.
They can't even enjoy when other people are funny.
I'm like, you don't want to be around funny people?
That's all I want to do.
I want guys to fucking crush in front of me.
I want the whole thing to be fun.
I don't want to just be the only one who's having fun up there.
doug stanhope
I'm so spoiled socially.
Because, yeah, my fucking best friends in the world are literally the funniest people alive.
joe rogan
So spoiled.
So if you try to hang out with idiots...
doug stanhope
You go to your fucking in-laws or some shit.
joe rogan
It's brutal.
joey diaz
You can do this joke on stage.
When they tell you you can do this joke on stage.
joe rogan
They don't understand.
joey diaz
Take this on stage.
See if you like it.
joe rogan
You know, I was dating this girl one time.
She's a nice girl, but I was at a transitionary point in my life.
There's nothing bad about her.
She was just who she was.
She was a young girl, wanted to do what she wanted to do.
She was always upset.
unidentified
I hate that cunt.
joe rogan
She was a good girl.
She was a really good person.
But she was always upset that I was doing other things and I was hanging out at this pool hall all the time.
And she would always give me shit about it.
But, you know, I finally, I had to sit her down and have a moment.
Like, I have fucking fun there.
Do you understand?
doug stanhope
Again, I have to remind people I'm tripping a bit.
Just picturing you at a pool hall is a flashback in a movie and they put weird hair on you.
joe rogan
Yeah, a full head of it.
doug stanhope
Go back to Joe Rogan at pool hall days back in Boston.
joe rogan
That's my pool hall days.
No, it wasn't in Boston.
It was New York.
I became obsessed when I first moved to New York.
But she hated it.
She fucking hated it because I never wanted to hang out with her.
And I would tell her, look, you know, and I had a conversation with her.
I'm like, look, you're a very cool person.
You're very sweet.
I don't want to date another girl, but I don't want to fucking hang out with you every day.
doug stanhope
Well, you hate chicks.
joe rogan
I don't hate chicks.
I hate dumb ones, though.
I hate dumb dudes, and I hate dumb chicks.
Equally.
It's not a gender thing.
It's just dummies.
But when you're in that situation, man, when you're just like, God, I just can't.
I can't hang out with you all the time.
It hurts me.
It hurts me to know that there's all this fun going on over there.
I'm hanging out with you, and these dudes are gambling and staying up until 3 in the morning, and no one's married, and no one knows what the fuck is going on the next day.
They're all wild gambling motherfuckers, and they're my friends, and they're funny, and they say funny shit.
And I'm like, what am I going to do?
I'm going to hang out with you?
And what are you going to tell me?
Like, what movies you like?
What are you going to tell me?
What you like to eat?
You know, what your mom said that was mean?
You know, Jesus fucking Christ.
I want to go have fun.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I think...
Go ahead.
joe rogan
Are you too far gone?
Are you too far gone to talk?
doug stanhope
No, no, I'm good.
I'm good.
That thought was cramping my mind.
joe rogan
It's so important to have friends that are fun.
It's the one thing that you get out of podcasts and shit, too, though.
These people that don't know anybody like you, don't know anybody like Joey, They get to talk to you, essentially, on a podcast.
They get to kind of feel your vibe, see how you think about things.
You sit down and see somebody talk for an hour.
You don't just see them talk.
You see how they think.
You see how they decipher stuff.
And it kind of can give you insight on how maybe you're not doing it that way or maybe you could do it that way and it would enhance your shit.
You know?
doug stanhope
Right.
joe rogan
It's so important, man.
You can get stuck in a fucking bad place with bad friends.
Are you freaking out?
doug stanhope
No, I'm not freaking out.
I'm just enjoying the entire fucking...
joe rogan
Experience?
doug stanhope
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Led Zeppelin's on the wall.
We got this new studio for the folks who are just listening on iTunes.
If you go to ustream.tv forward slash Joe Rogan, you can watch all these now.
And we actually have it set up where we have projectors.
doug stanhope
Now we're on fucking TV on delay.
Yeah, I should not look in that direction.
brian redban
I did that for you.
joe rogan
One of my favorite Stan Hope stories that I tell is when you and I did mushrooms and then we went out to the desert and it was the day the war started.
doug stanhope
Yeah, watching pre-game for the war.
joe rogan
I'll never forget this.
You and I were sitting in Jan Irvin's living room, twisted to our balls, right?
doug stanhope
They had a fucking giant kettle of some kind of ayahuasca they were trying to produce.
joe rogan
Amanita muscaria.
doug stanhope
Whatever it was.
joe rogan
It gave us just a weird feeling in the head.
It didn't get us off at all.
doug stanhope
It did nothing.
I felt like a pauper.
I had a little bag of mushrooms in my pocket and then I'd come in and they'd have this whole fucking giant kettle going on.
joe rogan
But you know what?
The two of them together, though, I think that's what really blasted it off.
And, you know, that's what they think Soma was.
They think Soma might have been, you know, Soma from, like, the ancient Hindu religion?
They don't know what it is, but it was, like, the basis of a lot of their belief and a lot of their, you know, their ancient scriptures talk about it and, like, rave about Soma.
And they think that it was Amanita muscaria mushrooms mixed with cubensis mushrooms, like, mixed like that.
And that might have been...
unidentified
Because we were fucking blast-a-roo, dude.
joe rogan
I remember staring at the wall and looking at this crazy geometric pattern that the universe was made out of.
doug stanhope
But we're watching Countdown to the war.
joe rogan
But you go, you were standing there and you go, holy shit.
doug stanhope
All I was missing was fucking, what's his name, Frank Caliendo.
joe rogan
Doing a depression.
unidentified
Giving his pics as...
doug stanhope
I'm going to give you my picks as John Madden, who hasn't been relevant for fucking seven years.
joe rogan
We're sitting there blasted, and I'll never forget this, because you just go, holy shit, there's a fucking kickoff.
doug stanhope
There's kickoff to the war, yeah.
joe rogan
There's a kickoff.
And we were both, like, really just starting a trip.
Like, it was just coming on, and then you go, holy shit, there's a kickoff.
doug stanhope
It's at six.
joe rogan
And we just sat down.
doug stanhope
It's 5.45, we should get a cocktail and some snacks.
joe rogan
We sat down and we were like...
doug stanhope
Terry Bradshaw is going to fucking come on and tell you how he feels.
joe rogan
It's like it's the strangest time ever to be alive.
What kind of a world is this?
They're telling us the war coverage begins at 5. I don't know.
What are you saying?
They timed it?
You tell me they timed it?
joey diaz
They waited.
joe rogan
Isn't it like a different time over there?
So they waited all day.
doug stanhope
Yeah, and it's not like it was their time.
It was prime time here.
It was like 6 in the afternoon.
joe rogan
Could you imagine if they actually timed the missiles to prime time in America?
doug stanhope
They probably had...
joey diaz
They probably fucking did.
doug stanhope
They probably fucking did.
joey diaz
Right after law and order.
doug stanhope
It was CNN. CNN had fucking advertisers.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
doug stanhope
Well, you know, George Bush, if...
Yeah, 3 in the morning, you know, their time.
Yeah, Sizzler, we can get fucking tied to sponsor it if you're going to nuke them at 6. It was such a strange fucking moment, man.
joe rogan
What a weird moment.
joey diaz
Stan, remember those two broads that live next to you?
Remember the tall German chick that was lanky and cute and the short brunette?
And then there was the chubbier chick Sage.
doug stanhope
You did like heroin or something with them?
joey diaz
Oh, I did everything with them.
unidentified
Yeah, I remember Sage is the one I remember.
joey diaz
Why stop there?
doug stanhope
Sage is the one I did.
joey diaz
Sage's father at one time was the Rolling Stones manager.
And what he did for this chick was he bought her a fucking Blockbuster in Ventura.
Bought her a Blockbuster.
And she said, I don't want a Blockbuster.
doug stanhope
I think you turned her on to heroin and she was giving me shit about herpes.
I go, yeah, I got herpes.
joey diaz
I didn't give her no fucking herpes.
doug stanhope
She was giving me shit about having herpes, but she's over there fucking like...
Doing heroin with Joey Diaz.
joey diaz
Listen to me.
unidentified
I was homeless.
joey diaz
She would come to the store on Sundays and give me pills.
And she was an expert in mixing, what was that shit that was big, 10 years?
MDBA? MDMA? MDMA with water.
joe rogan
Ecstasy with water?
joey diaz
With water.
She'd drink it, no, no, the other stuff.
Oh, GHB. GHB. And she'd bring it to the comedy store, and I'd be hosting on Sundays, and she'd give me drinks with a GSP, whatever the fuck.
GSP? Who the fuck it is?
unidentified
GHB, whatever.
joe rogan
I'm not impressed with your performance.
joey diaz
Listen, so this happened, this went on for six months.
It's GHB and really tight trunks.
On Sundays, I go to her house.
Rogan, I'd go to her house on Sundays after I'd host.
She'd come down.
We'd buy Coke from Chewy.
We'd go to her house.
We'd do heroin, eat her ass, pills.
I'd whip her.
She'd make little shows at lingerie for me.
She was 100 pounds overweight, but this bitch was bad.
doug stanhope
Yeah, I was going to say, it's not an ass you want to eat.
joey diaz
No, no, no, no.
She lost the weight.
doug stanhope
She had a diet.
joey diaz
Then, I didn't see her for a long time, right?
And then, she started coming around the comedy store and giving me that GSP and shit.
This is a great story.
I forgot about this.
I was thinking of Stan Hope on the way up here.
And our friend Mike was selling weed.
But at one time he worked at CAA. And he goes, listen, one of the interns over there, he blew up.
He ended up being Whitney Houston's manager.
And the tour manager.
And he's looking for powder.
So every day they would come over and I would sell Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston You know, they would come over with like $1,100, which was per diem money.
I was taking Whitney's per diem money, right?
Every day they'd come over with a little white envelope and give me the per diem money, and I'd go up to the Martell cartel, and I'd buy 14 grams of blow, take an eight ball out, and cut it, and then give it to Whitney Houston.
And they were fucking going crazy.
This went on for 30, 40 days.
unidentified
But I couldn't snort all the blow I was stealing from.
joey diaz
I couldn't snort it.
It was just too much.
So I was giving it to Marilyn Martinez to hold for me.
doug stanhope
Isn't she dead?
joey diaz
She's dead.
That's the coke that killed her.
So, okay.
I got like two ounces of blow, plus I snorted all this coke, and I can't snort no more.
One night, I call Marilyn.
I go, Marilyn, bring the Coke down to the fucking store, right?
I'm selling Coke to Whitney fucking Houston.
They're picking me up at 9 in the morning, paging me on the red pager.
I'm coming downstairs, getting in the car with them, going to the Martell cartel, to the brothers, going in the house with two grams of Coke already cut in my pocket.
And I would just go and take rocks out, throw the cut in, mix it up, and give it right back to them in the car, and they'd be happy as shit.
They were inviting me to A&M Records to come party with them.
I don't party with anybody.
joe rogan
So how much coke were you stealing from them?
joey diaz
I was selling them.
I was getting them a half ounce and taking an eight ball out and throwing an eight ball to cut in.
joe rogan
What is an eight ball?
joey diaz
Three and a half grams.
doug stanhope
I've done coke my entire fucking life and I don't know...
joey diaz
Percentages.
Like what it costs.
unidentified
Or...
doug stanhope
Isn't that crazy?
unidentified
People are so sleazy that it's all cut.
joey diaz
No, no.
doug stanhope
The point is, I don't know what it's worth.
I know coke because someone goes, hey, do you want to do a bump?
And you go, okay.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
But you don't know what the fuck is.
joey diaz
He's never bought it.
He does whatever.
When you go out with Stanhope, somebody got coke, he'll do coke.
You got elephant tranquilizer.
Stan Hope's like Uncle Joey.
We don't give a fuck.
The train's already running.
I got nowhere to be tomorrow.
Fuck it.
We're here already.
You know, when I got here, and he said he had mushrooms, I'm like, what the fuck?
This is the cocksucker that knocks on your door with rolling papers and no weed.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I got no weed, but I got rolling papers.
Next time you bring those fucking mushrooms with you, and we could have been right here, this would have been a great fucking podcast.
Not that it isn't.
So I'm Robin, Whitney, and Bobby Brown.
unidentified
Pfft.
joey diaz
For a fucking month, I'm robbing their blow every day.
I can't do it.
I can't snort it fast enough.
joe rogan
How much are they doing?
joey diaz
They're doing a half ounce a day.
This is 90. No, this is 98. They're doing a half ounce a day, which is three ounces a week.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
joey diaz
And singing!
joe rogan
What does that look like?
joey diaz
On ounces like this.
Like a half ounce of weed.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
joey diaz
They're doing one of those a day.
unidentified
Oh my god!
joey diaz
Bobby Brown, his face twisted.
And I was getting this shit that was flaky.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
joey diaz
So, right, I tell Marilyn, bring the coat to the store.
doug stanhope
You would say, like, well, aren't they...
Aren't they feeding an entourage at this point?
joey diaz
No, I thought it was just those two.
doug stanhope
But that's the thing about Coke.
joey diaz
It's just those two.
doug stanhope
Yeah, you start, oh, there's only so much Coke left.
All right, you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go.
joey diaz
Right, so this went on.
So on Saturday night, I called Marilyn Martinez.
I go, Marilyn, do me a favor.
Bring the blow to the comedy store because I'm just going to sell it.
And a kid, after my set, gives me a little baggie with the bottom of it filled up.
Like, not even two lines.
And I put it in my pocket, and I take it home.
When I get home, I do it.
It's not Coke.
It's crank.
So I'm on fire now.
It's 3 in the morning.
I'm in my house on fire.
I got the Coke hidden in the trunk of the car.
doug stanhope
His shoe hasn't stopped shaking since then.
joey diaz
All right, I have the Coke in the fucking car.
No, I'm not bouncing.
I have the Coke in the car.
I always do that shit.
I have the Coke in the car, right?
And I wouldn't bring it upstairs because I don't like coke in my house.
So I would go down and do a little bump about five in the morning.
joe rogan
Whoa, you would always keep it in the car?
joey diaz
In the car.
doug stanhope
I'd hide it under a rock outside.
joey diaz
Paranoia is a good thing.
I don't like it in the house.
doug stanhope
It's a Becker top.
joey diaz
I don't like it in my house.
doug stanhope
Better to be paranoid.
joey diaz
But I don't like it in my house anyway.
I never like coke in my house.
It's just bad.
I don't like it.
I used to leave it outside on the rocks in somebody else's garage.
And then I would go over there and do a bump and go back upstairs.
So there's one night I go upstairs and the page is going off and it's sage.
And I said, fuck it, let me just bring the two ounces to her house of blood.
And I brought, at that time it was like an ounce and a half and three quarters.
This bitch picked me up at six in the morning with a case of Starbucks coffee in Canada, half a gallon of vodka.
And we went back to the house, and we did that whole package of blow, heroin, Valiums, MDMA, GSP. How many days?
unidentified
How many days?
joey diaz
Two days.
joe rogan
Just two days.
joey diaz
Every afternoon I had to get Scott Wolf, Josh Wolf's brother, Fredo, to come get me over by the Directors Guild for two days.
I puked till Thursday.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
joey diaz
But here's how sick I was.
The fucking Houstons kept calling me.
And I'm like, "Fuck you, motherfuckers.
I'm out of commission." Right?
So finally that next week was the Grammys.
This is the last time I seen them.
I don't think I told you about this.
Last time ever I seen Whitney Houston.
I get a call on a Monday morning after the Grammys at 9:00 in the morning.
And they're like, is your boy up?
He'd have to be.
Come get me.
And they pull up to my fucking house where I live by the YMCA. And it was the manager, Whitney Houston, and Ricky Martin.
In the fucking back.
And they're all going.
They're going from the Grammys.
That jaw, all them jaws are fucking going, Jack.
And I get in the car with them.
I drive to the Martell cartel.
I'm sitting there like I don't even know it's Ricky Martin.
I just looked out the window.
I was more paranoid than he was.
I got in, bought it, brought it back to the car.
That's the last time I've fucking seen him.
unidentified
Wow.
joey diaz
They went out of town after that.
They were here to sing.
joe rogan
What year is this?
joey diaz
Had to be 98, 97, 99. They were doing the soundtrack to James Bond.
A Wycliffe Jean who just robbed half of fucking Haiti.
That cocksucker.
joe rogan
Robbed Haiti?
joey diaz
You didn't see that?
He robbed his own fucking earthquake relief fund.
joe rogan
No.
joey diaz
That million dollars.
joe rogan
No.
joey diaz
Yeah, bro.
That's why I don't send...
Unless I see the guy on the street bleeding, I give him money.
When you send $100, they get $30 of it.
doug stanhope
Did you steal my change jar in the late 90s?
joe rogan
Probably did, right?
joey diaz
No.
No, I don't steal my fucking change jar.
unidentified
My fucking change jar!
Ha ha ha ha!
joey diaz
What's a change jar?
joe rogan
It's just a thought that he had in your head.
joey diaz
Out of the fucking blues!
doug stanhope
He was just talking about Robert.
I was just thinking about the 90s and where we lived on Curzon, and there was a fucking change jar.
I go, that probably is fucking...
I called you Joey Jingles for a while.
joey diaz
No, no.
I would never rob a change jar.
I'd rob something big.
unidentified
I know.
doug stanhope
It was someone who just fucking...
joey diaz
A change jar like a fucking cup of change?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
No.
doug stanhope
Yeah, it was just a weird thought that just came into my head.
I think if you pour this for laundry, I'm fucking cold.
unidentified
Sorry, now I've smoked pot, which I never do.
joey diaz
What the fuck is wrong with you?
A change jar.
I'm a professional.
doug stanhope
No, no.
I remember calling you a change jar.
joey diaz
I'm a professional.
We were doing Seattle one time.
I was opening up for Stanhope, and I picked them up in an RV. And it was snowing in Seattle.
We went down a hill.
doug stanhope
Oh, you and that weird chick.
unidentified
What was her fucking name?
joey diaz
And the puppy, Carol, who I stuck the fucking aluminum for up her ass.
He was around for that.
You know all about that shit, Seattle.
joe rogan
Hey, Brian, you shouldn't probably play copyrighted shit on the background like this.
brian redban
No, I'm not.
I'm just playing old shit.
joe rogan
Alright, I'm looking at all these images.
doug stanhope
You should probably not fucking start defamation suits.
joe rogan
That's a defamation suit?
doug stanhope
Ricky fucking Waters or whatever.
joey diaz
It's a true story.
If it didn't fucking happen, then it wouldn't give a fuck.
Ricky Martin's clean and sober now.
He came out of the closet.
He's got kids.
joe rogan
These opinions and stories are not a representative of the Joe Rogan experience.
joey diaz
What is this, Law& Order?
What the fuck is this?
doug stanhope
I was actually promoting copyrighted stuff and...
joey diaz
What is this?
You know what I'm saying?
Law& Order, this story might think that you might know these individuals.
unidentified
They ain't the fucking people.
joe rogan
You know this story's gonna get on the internet now.
doug stanhope
You know, I've never played...
unidentified
Who gives a fuck?
doug stanhope
I've never played the brain improv.
joey diaz
11 years ago, what did he say to me?
No, you remember me, bitch?
doug stanhope
No, I remember you.
joey diaz
What the fuck?
Sing, bitch!
Sing!
I kept her alive for three fucking months, giving her all those rocks.
joe rogan
God damn!
joey diaz
Rocks and shit!
joe rogan
So you think it was just them doing that amount?
joey diaz
Joe Rogan, you could go crazy.
You got a chick that's sucking your dick.
joe rogan
I got no experience with this cocaine.
joey diaz
No, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
joe rogan
I don't have any experience with it.
joey diaz
You'll fucking change, Joe!
Jesus Christ!
doug stanhope
What happened?
unidentified
Did they break into your house and change a change?
doug stanhope
No, I just noticed all the change had been taken out and nothing else was stolen.
I go, who would do that?
And I go, I think Joey's back on drugs.
Maybe you fucking...
So I called you.
joey diaz
No, no.
joe rogan
It's impossible, Joey.
You might have done it and forgot about it.
joey diaz
No, I think the last time I went to Stan Hope's house.
doug stanhope
It was like someone...
I had an open house policy.
joey diaz
You had an open house policy.
doug stanhope
I still do.
I'm like, who would just...
I was just going...
This is the fucking, like, 1996. We were all broke.
I'm going, which one of my friends would be broke enough to just fucking...
And I thought of you.
joey diaz
I was at the Coaching Horses one night.
doug stanhope
Joey Jingles.
joey diaz
Out of my fucking mind.
And I couldn't walk to Vista, so I went to Stanhope's because he had the open-door policy.
I go to Stan Hope's.
I open the door.
He's got the bunk beds.
No, this time in the living room he just had a cot.
I get on the cot because I couldn't even make it to the fucking bed.
And that's the night there's an earthquake.
And I wake up to the house and I open my eyes sideways and I see the clock.
So I'm focusing on the clock.
But the fucking earth is moving.
You know what I'm saying?
And that was just...
That's, I think, the last time I was...
Do you still have that apartment?
Yeah, yeah.
It's subsidized.
You have somebody in there.
doug stanhope
It's rent control.
joey diaz
I still beat the fucking horn.
doug stanhope
I still live there all the time.
joey diaz
I still beat the horn when I go by like a motherfucker out of respect.
unidentified
Oh, no.
doug stanhope
Hennigan's there now.
joey diaz
Is Hennigan here in town?
doug stanhope
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Do you ever miss LA? Yeah, now.
doug stanhope
Right now, the fucking drive here was horrific.
I was trying to get a hold of you.
If we have to do this the next day, I'm going to change my flight.
I'm like, I could just fly.
I could fucking 10 days off.
I'll just fly to fucking somewhere.
I never do that.
joe rogan
Just fly somewhere for a vacation.
doug stanhope
Grab my passport.
joe rogan
Go to Costa Rica.
doug stanhope
If I'm going to extend my stay here to fucking hang out with you, I'll probably be fucked up when I leave.
Why not?
And then just the thought of LAX fucking ruined that entire fantasy.
joe rogan
Really?
doug stanhope
Oh, sorry.
Get a talk down here.
joe rogan
No, it was perfect.
doug stanhope
Alright.
joe rogan
It was fine.
doug stanhope
Well, my audio functions are way fucked.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
Oh.
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Medicinally.
joe rogan
You know, why'd you move there in the first place?
Why'd you decide to...
You live in Bisbee, Arizona, in the middle of nowhere, right?
What was the...
Just wanted to get away?
doug stanhope
Impulse by.
It's a place I found when I was driving on the road.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Impulse by?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
I don't even see the inside.
joe rogan
Did you know anything about the town?
doug stanhope
Pictures.
joe rogan
Did you know anything about the town?
doug stanhope
I'd been there a lot.
Sorry, I had a fucking...
joe rogan
It's fine, dude.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, no.
joe rogan
All right.
So, what's the downside?
What's the downside of living in a tiny little town like that?
Because you're in a town of, what, 6,000 people or something crazy?
doug stanhope
Yeah, Jake LaMotta has come over to the house a couple times.
joe rogan
Jake LaMotta the fighter?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
The guy who they made the movie Raging Bull about?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
What's that guy like?
doug stanhope
You know what?
I could do a fucking 20 minute bit.
That's the downside.
joe rogan
He lives there?
doug stanhope
Yeah, but you have to be respectful of people there.
Any good story that comes out of there, that's your neighbor.
That's the downside to living in a small town.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't talk about the fun shit that happens.
doug stanhope
You can't flip someone off at a fucking stop sign because they cut you off because that guy will be behind you in line at fucking Safeway.
joe rogan
Yeah, like how often you run in the same people over and over again?
doug stanhope
All the time.
joe rogan
All the time.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a weird thing, huh?
doug stanhope
So yeah, you get a fucking really funny fucking bit about your neighbor.
brian redban
So do you guys think that Joey Diaz took care of this change?
Real quick?
joe rogan
No, I don't think so.
doug stanhope
There's the spot.
There's the spot on the microphone.
joe rogan
It doesn't matter.
doug stanhope
I was looking for it.
joe rogan
You're fine.
Your voice aren't right.
doug stanhope
Not to me.
joe rogan
Not to you?
Really?
It sounded fucked?
I think it's probably those headphones.
doug stanhope
I know.
I just had a bit of echo.
No, it's because my senses are peaked right now.
joe rogan
So what's the good side?
There's got to be a good side.
doug stanhope
I fucking love it.
One of the bad sides is I hate the road now because I want to be home.
joe rogan
Really?
Because now you have a lot of friends in town.
doug stanhope
There's no fucking joy in Cleveland.
What am I going to accomplish that I haven't in 21 years?
joe rogan
Right.
Same thing.
doug stanhope
Over and over again.
Throw soft cock at a younger girl and hang out all night until she's deluded enough.
joey diaz
When are we going to do a fucking triple run?
Let's do a triple run old school.
Take Red Band to drive.
doug stanhope
I'd fucking love to do that.
We did a 10 year anniversary.
joey diaz
Ian Becker.
doug stanhope
Yeah, Becker and I, 10 years from now, we're going to go back and we're going to do a Tribble Run.
Tribble Runs are these legendary one-nighters in the Northwest.
I forget we're on radio.
We should probably fucking entertain or something.
joe rogan
No, this is entertaining.
doug stanhope
Yeah, but...
So you'd play Idaho Falls.
That's where I met Joey Coco Diaz on a triple gig in Boulder, Colorado.
joey diaz
I was a host at the Boulder Broker.
doug stanhope
The Joker Broker.
joey diaz
The Joker Broker, and he came in on a Tuesday and the run was...
doug stanhope
My driver's license for a long time, because I lived on the road, I didn't have a home, was the fucking Joker Broker's address in Boulder, Colorado.
I got a Colorado license.
unidentified
Mike Kessler!
joey diaz
Mike Kessler!
Mike Kessler's house.
You bought the car from Mike Kessler.
doug stanhope
Oh, that fucking piece of shit.
joey diaz
That's right.
doug stanhope
Yeah, that fucking Dodge Neon.
I had that forever.
Jay Moore spotted me in the parking lot of the comedy store in the late 90s and said, oh, Dodge Neon.
He had some condescending thing where I'm good for the environment or something.
What a cunt that guy is.
joey diaz
But we met on the morning.
The Boulder Broker run was Tuesday in Boulder, then you had Wednesday off, and then you had Thursday in Craig, Colorado, Friday in some other Gunnison, and it ended up in Colorado Springs at some fucking barn.
So Tuesdays you had to come to Boulder, and I became friends with Doug, and then Wednesday you had off, so instead of having him stay at a hotel, he stayed at my house.
That's when my wife and I first broke up.
It was a condo.
That's when I first met him.
He was still telemarketing in Vegas.
The second time he came back, he had just done evening at the Improv.
doug stanhope
Yeah, yeah.
joey diaz
And you stayed again, and that's how we became friends.
I didn't see him again.
He won San Francisco, and he came up to Seattle, and then I talked to him.
joe rogan
Well, it's fun when you go on one of those gigs and you meet a real comic, you know, because you never know who you're working with.
doug stanhope
Well, Joey came into the Joker broker.
He was like the house MC guy.
I was the house MC. But he didn't give a fuck.
You're like, hi, I'm the comic, and he's like, I don't know.
And he goes on stage, I just had to fucking push me, pull you, like...
That's how I remember.
He was doing a bit about having the shits and the vomits at the same time.
But you knew it was honest, because you could tell by Joey's face.
He was a fucking sick person.
He was, like, sweating profusely.
And it was about having the push-me-pull-you...
Shit, we're trying to figure out which end to aim towards the toilet.
joey diaz
I got $50 a show and I would sell Valiums.
doug stanhope
Push me, pull you.
joey diaz
I would take 100 Valiums and sell them all for $3 a piece and I would make $50 a show and a steak.
It was steak night.
And I had to go up every Tuesday in front of the same 80 people and do new material every fucking Tuesday.
So I'd have to get the bowl and the paper and write five minutes and no place to practice.
I didn't know about that.
I thought you just wrote it and brought it up there.
And it was the same people and I remember that.
If you got them to lift their head up while they were cutting into the steak that they just paid $6.95 for, you know, those type of people, that was their thing on Tuesdays.
Two comics and a steak for $14 or whatever the fuck it was, you know?
But it's amazing how that's how I got into comedy.
If you could get them to look at you, you did your job.
joe rogan
I did a gig once for Mike Clark, Lenny Clark's brother.
Mike Clark is a great guy.
Lenny Clark is one of the legendary comedians of Boston.
A fucking awesome guy.
And Mike used to book me on a lot of road gigs back in the Boston days.
And one of them who booked me was the waiting room of a restaurant.
So as people are waiting to be seated, they have a room where they all sit down.
I don't know why they didn't just make that a part of the restaurant, too.
It was real weird.
But they had a band, and then they had a comedian.
So these people are just sitting around waiting, and you just go up and start talking about blowjobs and taking shits or whatever stupid act I had at the time.
And as I'm talking, I'm in the middle of a bit, right about to hit the punchline, and over the PA system that I'm using, it's like, Johnson, party of two, your table's ready, please come to the front desk.
And I'm like, oh no.
It was the same sound system.
So every time when you were on stage, you could be in the middle of talking, and they would just start announcing people's names.
And it would happen like every 15 seconds.
It was the most ridiculous gig of all time.
joey diaz
And I replaced a host that was a magician that came out with a bird on stage, but the bird would always get stuck on the lights, and he would shit on them, so they had to fire him.
That's who I replaced.
That's how my comedy career fucking started.
And I'll never forget, when I seen the parrot or whatever it was, shit on him, I went right to the manager.
I'm like, dog.
Because you got the hosting job, was the winner of the Bex comedy competition, Bex beer.
joe rogan
Right.
joey diaz
And that's how I won.
doug stanhope
You are more popular than that brand of beer right now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
Bex beer, yeah.
doug stanhope
In hindsight, yes.
joe rogan
Poor Bex.
What happened to that beer?
How come that beer never caught on?
brian redban
I still drink Bex.
joey diaz
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's got something stanky to it.
brian redban
Bex?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's like a little...
joey diaz
If they're out of Heineken, you'll get a Bex.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll take it, but I don't prefer...
People still drink Honey Brown.
brian redban
Remember Honey Brown?
joe rogan
Why don't you just make it taste like Heineken?
brian redban
Remember Honey Brown?
It was really popular in the early 90s.
doug stanhope
When you were a kid...
joe rogan
What do you think sells more, Bex or Heineken?
Heineken, right?
unidentified
Heineken has to.
joey diaz
Heineken got commercials running.
joe rogan
Is that what it is?
joey diaz
I guess so.
joe rogan
Bex got a lot of commercials, dude.
joey diaz
I haven't seen Bex.
joe rogan
I haven't had a Bex in forever.
Maybe I'm just prejudiced.
Maybe I need to drop the Bex.
Go get me a Bex.
brian redban
You are pretty prejudiced with beer, though.
I've noticed just from being at comedy clubs, you're always like, what the fuck is that?
Why are you drinking that?
You've got to get a man's beer like Sam Adams.
joe rogan
Well, you start drinking those little light fairy drinks.
I'm like, that's not really a beer, goddammit.
Try to give me a fucking light beer.
Get out of here, bitch.
brian redban
It's not a light beer.
joe rogan
It's a light beer.
Fucking Sam Adams, that's a man's beer.
doug stanhope
I hate the beer that I like is advertised to eat.
joe rogan
Do you want any beers, Brian?
brian redban
Yeah, you want some?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, son.
joey diaz
Are they light beer?
brian redban
They're Stella's and Sam Adams.
joe rogan
Sam Adams.
unidentified
Papa.
joey diaz
Sam Adams.
Stella.
Yo, we're in Anover, Mass.
And it was at the Club Grill 93. Oh, yeah.
And there's three clubs in there.
doug stanhope
The time I had to follow Joey Diaz.
joey diaz
No, no, no.
And there's a...
doug stanhope
On fire.
joey diaz
There's a...
doug stanhope
And that was nobody with a mullet.
joey diaz
Oh, please.
And he went up on stage, and in the middle of his set, there's a priest walking by.
And Stan Hope sees him out of the corner of his eye, and he goes, Hey, Father, where are you going?
I got a tit-fuck joke that'll blow your fucking socks off.
The whole fucking room.
Like, just shit.
The priest just ran out of there.
Me, him, and Chris motherfucking McGuire.
That's who it was.
doug stanhope
That might have been Aku Aku.
joey diaz
Aku Aku, me, you, and Chris McGuire.
joe rogan
You want a beer, Joey?
joey diaz
No, no, I'm good.
doug stanhope
Because the priest was there with my dad.
joey diaz
We did Aku Aku on Friday night, but we did Grill 93 on Saturday night.
doug stanhope
That's where I had to follow you in that monster fucking...
I was booed off stage.
joey diaz
No, he wasn't.
joe rogan
I got booed off stage when I followed Jim Brewer once.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Nanuet, New York, I think it was.
Maybe not Nanuet.
Somewhere in the outside of New York.
It was humiliating.
I died a brutal, horrible death.
I didn't know how to get myself out of a bad mindset back then.
And if anything happened bad during the day, if I got in a fight with a chick...
Anything that went wrong, I could spiral on stage.
Like, I could do good.
I could hold it together.
But I really had no business headlining.
And Brewer was having good sets all week.
We were both having good sets.
There were fun crowds.
But on the last show on Saturday night, it was a late show, and the crowd was fucking drunk, and he killed.
He fucking killed!
And I was standing backstage, and this is when my manager had just convinced me to start dressing nice.
So I was wearing, like, club pants.
I was wearing, like, a nice pair of slacks and some nice shoes.
And I looked like the most unfunny fuck on earth.
And I knew it!
And I felt it.
I'm dressed like this fucking stylish douchebag.
And I'm going to go on stage and I don't dress like this.
This is not how I would dress if I was hanging out with my friends.
This is not comfortable.
This is fucking the clothes of an asshole.
And so I felt backstage.
I was like, shit.
I'm like, I can't be thinking like this.
I can't be thinking that I shouldn't be dressed like this.
But I couldn't help it.
And my knee was fucked up at the time.
I had just gotten...
My ACL had just torn.
I hadn't had the surgery yet.
So I couldn't move good on stage.
If I moved funny one way or another, my leg would pop out.
So I had all this shit in my head.
Like, oh, what if my knee pops out?
Fuck, I don't feel funny.
And I went on stage and just ate dick.
I mean, every joke that came out of my mouth, I didn't know how to say it right.
My timing was off.
I was panicking.
And the worst part about it was this dude fucking in the crowd goes, man, you're not fucking funny.
And I couldn't say anything to him.
I couldn't say anything to him because I know he's right.
All I can say to him is, you're not helping.
This is not helping.
But there's nothing in that.
Just pointing out that he's an asshole.
He knows he's an asshole.
He thinks he's entitled to be an asshole.
He paid to see my shitty act.
And that was a huge learning point for me, man, about the mindset that you have to have when you go on stage.
When you're young and your life is in disorder and you go on stage like that, you could have a goddamn tailspin.
joey diaz
I'm gonna be at the Comedy Store bombing one night.
It's great though.
doug stanhope
Let me just address the fucking elephant in my head.
joey diaz
Oh shit.
doug stanhope
I'm fucked.
joey diaz
You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine.
joe rogan
Listen, this is not...
Joey and I are gonna come with you to the Bray and Bray.
joey diaz
No, I can't go to Bray.
joe rogan
Alright, I'm gonna come with...
Brian and I will come with you.
brian redban
I can't go to Bray.
joe rogan
Shit!
I will come with you.
doug stanhope
I am fucked.
joe rogan
We're gonna be fine.
doug stanhope
Whatever you passed...
I don't smoke pot.
joe rogan
You're on mushrooms, pal.
joey diaz
You're on mushrooms.
The pot enhances it.
doug stanhope
The pot shakes it up.
unidentified
And the 5H DP. See the 5H DP? I just wanted...
joey diaz
You got cigarettes?
What do you expect?
doug stanhope
I want to just throw out a quick disclaimer.
joey diaz
I'm even going to smoke a cigarette.
That's how wide you motherfuckers got me now.
You guys are crazy.
doug stanhope
I really have no concept of fucking time.
Don't worry about it.
joe rogan
Don't worry about it.
Let it go.
doug stanhope
I haven't talked in like...
joe rogan
This is what I'm going to tell you.
doug stanhope
But it seems like...
joe rogan
Okay.
I'm going to help you right here.
I'm going to help you right here.
You're tripping.
I'm not.
So let me take care of everything.
doug stanhope
I'll get you to your show.
You live on this weed.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're fine.
The mushrooms you're not afraid of, the weed is what's freaking out?
joey diaz
And there's more where that came from.
joe rogan
Introspective juice, bro.
It taps you into the fucking nature of the universe.
doug stanhope
Oh, I was just getting out the fucking, like, the problems that I had in my head, and then I'll be fine now.
I just wanted to say I really don't have any concept of time right now.
joe rogan
Good, good.
joey diaz
That's good.
joe rogan
I got it.
I got you.
Okay, so you can...
Good.
You said it so that now it's my responsibility.
I'm going to get you to your show.
Who are you working with tonight?
doug stanhope
I'm not worried about anything.
joe rogan
I had to get that thought out.
doug stanhope
I was looking at you kind of melting, wanting to say, but I didn't want to interrupt your story.
joey diaz
You're beautiful, baby.
Look at me with these glasses on.
doug stanhope
I'm not fucking 22 fucking kicking on the couch saying call 911. Nah, fuck.
unidentified
Stanhope and I did DMT. One weird thing I had to get out of my system.
joe rogan
Stanhope and I did DMT, and Stanhope went into almost like a semi-seizure.
And it was the only time I had ever been around anybody who did DMT. Yeah, that's when you came out.
But before you came out of it, you were moaning, man.
You were like this.
unidentified
Yeah!
Yeah!
joe rogan
And it was like you got knocked out, dude.
It was the same sound that a guy makes when he gets brutally knocked out.
When a guy just gets fucking smashed, they have this...
joey diaz
Like the guy last night in the Ultimate Fighter, the first fight.
joe rogan
I didn't see the fights last night.
Fucking spoiler alert, Joey.
Well, I don't know who it happened to, so thanks for not saying the names.
But I'm going to go check it out tonight.
This weekend, man, I wish you could come.
You're not around this weekend.
joey diaz
Nah, I'm busy this weekend.
joe rogan
Dom Herrera's coming.
Dom Herrera's coming to the fights.
Ari's coming.
joey diaz
Is he working with Dom Herrera in Vegas?
joe rogan
No, he's just coming down to see the fights.
Dom Herrera is really good at pool.
Dom Herrera and I play pool sometimes.
We're going to go watch some professionals gamble.
There's this thing called TheActionReport.com and they have professional pool players and they have these big high-level gambling matches where they all pool together like $50,000, $100,000.
The buy-in is usually like $10,000 each guy and then they bet a bunch of money on the side.
Brian, that shit is really distracting.
brian redban
I'm trying to put something on it.
doug stanhope
No, no.
Not as distracting.
joey diaz
Leave the lights on.
doug stanhope
Not as distracting as...
joe rogan
That's Joey's breathing?
unidentified
He's breathing.
He's breathing.
joe rogan
I was on Opie and Anthony.
doug stanhope
He's writing the mic like the fucking Darth Vader.
joe rogan
I was on Opie and Anthony the other day, and I was listening to it when I was in my car, and Bobby Kelly's like, Joe, what are you fucking breathing?
What's up with your breathing?
And I didn't hear it when I was on the phone, but then I was listening on the radio.
I have a stupid headset, and it sits in front of my nostrils.
So as I'm talking, I'm like...
I don't even realize I'm doing this.
It was the most annoying fucking thing ever.
So all you who were listening that day, I'm really sorry.
I did not know that I was making those annoying noises in the background.
joey diaz
There's going to be some great fights this weekend and motherfucking next weekend.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, absolutely.
joey diaz
You got John Jones Machida.
They just announced Ellen Berger against Diego Sanchez.
joe rogan
Eve Edwards versus El Cucuy on Spike TV. Oh, shit.
joey diaz
What about fucking Phil Davis against Rashad?
They're finally doing that in February or January.
joe rogan
Yeah, of course.
joey diaz
You're going to Japan.
I love it.
joe rogan
Mayhem and Bisping is going to be a crazy fight.
joey diaz
Five rounds, too.
joe rogan
Five rounds.
unidentified
Yes, it is.
joey diaz
Yes, it is.
That's going to be a great fucking fight.
joe rogan
God, I wish we were going to be there.
joey diaz
Yeah, we'd go for it.
joe rogan
Ari Shaffir is going to be there, ladies and gentlemen.
He's also going to be playing his famous Ari Shaffir.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
Non-UFC sponsored, non-UFC sanctioned Hunt for the Edible.
I don't know what that means, but if you want to follow it, and I have no connection to this whatsoever, go to Ari Shaffir on Twitter.
At A-R-I-S-H-A-F-F-I-R. And he may or may not be hiding weed places.
joey diaz
Ari, listen.
To the UFC on Fox, Ari showed up with a bag of caramels.
Ari always has 29,000 edibles close by.
The other day I called him and I go, I can't believe I'm in traffic.
He goes, now you know I always have weed in my car.
joe rogan
Yeah.
joey diaz
And he talked me into rolling the joint on the 405. He goes, roll it.
Who gives a fuck?
Smoke it.
joe rogan
You rolled it while you were stuck in traffic?
joey diaz
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
That's beautiful.
joey diaz
One fucking hand.
Old school.
joe rogan
You know what I like, man?
I don't mind being in my car in traffic as long as I got that hands-free system and I can talk to people on the phone.
unidentified
Yeah, it's great.
joey diaz
You can talk to people.
joe rogan
It's not bad, man.
You can have a conversation.
I have nice, long conversations with friends.
joey diaz
Well, you catch up.
joe rogan
Yeah, catch up.
joey diaz
Now you catch up on the 20 phone calls you've been...
joe rogan
Everybody's texting.
That's all everybody does is text these days.
The calls to text, it's like text is five to one.
brian redban
Have you been doing any of the Siri texting while you're in the car?
joe rogan
No, as soon as I found out that Siri goes to a fucking database, I just said, why am I doing this?
Yeah, everything you do goes to a database.
brian redban
I thought you were talking about that fucking shit that we were talking about the other day.
joe rogan
Apparently that was in iOS, the iPhone operating system, in a diagnostic mode only back in the day.
But it's not in it like Android phones.
Brian and I are talking about some new thing that came out.
What is it called?
IQ Client?
brian redban
Yeah, IQ Client.
Something like that?
Is there a reason why they say it's in there?
Have they released that?
joe rogan
I don't think anybody's figured it out yet.
It's just been recently discovered.
And what it is, for the folks who don't know what the fuck we're talking about...
When you buy an Android phone, Doug Stanhope, you have an Android phone now, alright?
You fucked up.
You should have went iPhone.
I know you tried to be a nice contrarian and go against the tide.
doug stanhope
I got what they had.
joe rogan
You use a Windows computer too, don't you?
doug stanhope
Give me one of those things I can fucking see so I don't have to put on reading glasses.
joe rogan
Well, apparently every time you send a text, it logs it in a database somewhere.
It stores it.
brian redban
Every key press.
joe rogan
Everything you do is logged in a database somewhere.
doug stanhope
Sorry, my girlfriend doesn't get on the line much.
joe rogan
That's not even it.
joey diaz
You think these are the only people that do this, Joe?
joe rogan
No, no, it's not that I don't think.
It's that it's been proven, and that's where it gets interesting.
It's not that I don't think other people have done it.
I mean, I think the FBI... It can be done.
The CIA has been trying to do this, trying to have the ability to spy on people.
And, you know, the argument is, well, if you're not doing anything wrong, what are you worried about?
doug stanhope
Yeah, but the point is, it can be done, so it will be.
So get in the fucking database.
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
And then manipulate that.
joe rogan
It's a shit argument.
That argument, like, if you're not doing anything wrong, why are you worried about it?
That's a shit argument.
unidentified
They shouldn't be finding every fucking number you press.
doug stanhope
Then let me film you poop.
I want to see how much you...
Do you look at the paper?
You're not doing anything wrong.
joe rogan
Yeah, let me do it.
brian redban
But I also don't want somebody to know how many times I do happy faces, you know, or stupid stuff like that.
joe rogan
Right.
brian redban
I do stuff that I'm like...
joe rogan
I do happy faces all day.
brian redban
What's wrong with that?
joe rogan
It's not their business.
doug stanhope
At the other end of this fucking wire, there's the human being that does that, and he'll be dead with all that information.
Who gives a fuck?
joe rogan
No, it's not that, man.
You know what the real picture is?
It's not that.
What the real picture is is that we're losing all of our secrets.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it's going to come to a point in time where there will be no secrets at all.
doug stanhope
Yeah, absolute honesty.
joe rogan
Yeah, absolute honesty.
It's like you can't fight this.
doug stanhope
It's a compelling fucking thought.
joe rogan
It is a compelling thought, but everyone's terrified of it because it's being controlled by a group of us.
It's by one group of the population, the people who have this information that's being controlled by them.
And we don't like the idea of anybody having any control over any of us because we know it's natural human nature to want to dominate people.
So when you see something like this, and there's a database that records everything, that's inevitable, right?
I mean, if this is the direction that it's going, if you look at just how interconnected everybody is with Facebook now, and you just look at...
joey diaz
That's a reason, Twitter.
joe rogan
That's a reason.
It's going in that direction.
joey diaz
Look at everything.
doug stanhope
The person in the cubicle next to you is now a celebrity because she can ego surf herself and go, yeah, fucking Candy Stouffer is a fucking cunt.
She talks too loud and her breath smells.
And that's just because the fucking person next to you in the cubicle that you bitch at every morning is Facebooking about you.
So, yeah...
joe rogan
And you could get famous with one fucking YouTube video.
You can have one YouTube video you put up there and you can get famous.
doug stanhope
And you'll be as famous as the next YouTube video.
joe rogan
Unless you're really good.
doug stanhope
But that's a good thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, it is a good thing.
Yeah.
The whole thing's amazing.
doug stanhope
It's bizarre.
Remember Clear Channel?
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Just the word struck fear.
What a fucking corporate...
I don't even know if they exist anymore.
joe rogan
I think they do.
doug stanhope
Well, because this is what matters.
Yeah.
Podcasts, what people...
I was about to dump Sirius, but now you're getting a show on Sirius.
joe rogan
Well, we've been on Sirius for a while on Saturday and Sunday, but fucking dump it.
Who gives a shit?
brian redban
No, don't dump it, Joe.
You don't want to dump Sirius radio.
joe rogan
I love Sirius, but I'm just not telling you what to do.
doug stanhope
No, if I knew I could get it in my car, I'd listen.
I'd get to fucking drive an hour and a half to an airport every time.
joey diaz
You could get it in your car.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can get it in your car.
doug stanhope
Yeah, I get Sirius.
joe rogan
Dude, yes.
Every weekend, we're on the Opie and Anthony channel.
It used to be the virus, but now it's the Opie and Anthony channel.
brian redban
Joe, we should give free passes from Sirius at least.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
brian redban
See, we could give Doug a free year right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, we pay for our own Sirius.
brian redban
Talk good about Sirius here.
joe rogan
But yeah, it's fun.
It's cool.
I love the fact that he can be in the car.
And I listen to series every day.
I listen to O.P. Anthony basically every day.
Ron and Fez.
And I listen to news, CNN. There's a lot of good talk radio stations.
doug stanhope
I have this built-in thing.
I can't get the XM things for some reason.
joe rogan
Really?
Why is that?
doug stanhope
Or maybe I haven't tried.
brian redban
No, you can't now, I think.
joe rogan
Maybe you just need to up your prescription.
doug stanhope
I have Stern, CNN, BBC, CNN. There's no music on my fucking presets.
joe rogan
I have classic vinyl because every now and then I'll hit it for a goof and something goes, ooh, yeah, I forgot that one.
brian redban
You have a record player in your car?
joe rogan
No, classic vinyl's a station, you fuck.
doug stanhope
Get it?
joe rogan
Oh, Brian.
doug stanhope
You buffoon.
joe rogan
You need to get an O'Brien shirt.
What the fuck, bro?
Come on, dog.
Dog, it's only 4.30.
joey diaz
It's only 4.30, cocksucker.
Oh, good.
joe rogan
It's only 4.30.
joey diaz
Oh, you got tons of time, guys.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I just...
I wanted to actually put my watch on the table as a...
joey diaz
They dropped a bomb on me late, so...
joe rogan
Are you coming December 30th, that UFC? Brock Lesnar versus Alistair Overeem?
joey diaz
No, I'm going to do New Year's with you.
joe rogan
Okay.
We're going to do a Vegas show in February, around Super Bowl time.
joey diaz
Right, the 4th.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're going to do another one.
Big, big, big, big.
doug stanhope
Two UFC questions.
A, does anyone in the UFC, do any of the fighters not like you?
joe rogan
I get along with pretty much every one of them.
I don't have any problems with it.
If I do, I always straighten it out.
It's a difficult thing when you're criticizing people that can beat the fuck out of you, and you're criticizing them about their ability to beat the fuck out of each other.
And you've got to go, look, man, I'm not saying I can do it better than you, because that's the automatic presumption.
I'm just saying, this is what you're doing wrong.
I can see it.
joey diaz
Now, who's fighting for the Super Bowl Saturday?
joe rogan
Who's fighting the Super Bowl?
doug stanhope
Earlier, did you say Bisping's not fighting the fucking guy from the show again?
joe rogan
No, Bisping's fighting Mayhem.
doug stanhope
Oh, okay.
I thought I heard a different name.
joe rogan
No, they're fighting and they're fighting this weekend.
This is a fucking huge fight for Mayhem.
And for Bisping, this brings him into top contender status.
If he beats Mayhem, he's right up there with everybody else.
doug stanhope
Does Mayhem have credits other than the stupid...
Fraudulent VH. It wasn't fraudulent.
joe rogan
It was irresponsible, perhaps.
doug stanhope
No, just fraudulent from just a viewer's level.
Like, oh yeah, they have a beef and they're gonna...
unidentified
I changed y'all, cocksucker!
joey diaz
That's what you thought of.
I rubbed your fucking change jar.
brian redban
That's why Joey wants to leave.
joe rogan
I'm on UFC.com.
unidentified
They don't have the Super Bowl card up yet.
joey diaz
As big as this cup.
That's how big it is.
doug stanhope
No, it's more of a jar.
joe rogan
They don't have the Super Bowl card up here, unfortunately.
brian redban
We can all talk about it.
doug stanhope
Joey Jingles, watch your fucking change jar, people.
brian redban
Joey Jingles, that's your new nickname.
joe rogan
Joey Jingles.
joey diaz
The only time I got in trouble, I would steal change out of cars and shit, was when I was an open miker, open miker, and I sold cars, and at night I was living in the city, and I needed change to get back over the fucking bridge.
And I would steal quarters or dimes to get $1.35 or something.
doug stanhope
It was one of those periods, and this is why you always have to worry.
When your friends are telling you they don't do drugs, that's when you worry about them.
unidentified
When they go, oh yeah, I'm fucking doing heroin, fucking sage all night.
doug stanhope
That's a guy you can trust.
It's a guy, no, I cleaned up.
unidentified
Do you need any landscaping done?
doug stanhope
You need me to house sit while you're gone?
I've cleaned up.
joey diaz
That was some fucking crazy times.
Those are some crazy fucking times, man.
doug stanhope
I really don't have this Joey Jingles thing.
unidentified
I hope he's not really fixated.
doug stanhope
It's just a weird thought that came into my head about a change jar and Joey Jingles.
joey diaz
I remember being at the Coach and Horses.
Coached up to the point where I couldn't talk.
Looking to my left and seeing James Gandolfini there with two of the hottest fucking blondes you've ever seen in your life, ready to get his dick sucked.
Looking at me, and he's as whacked up as I am.
Like him looking at me and me looking at him going, what up, dude?
And me being fucked up with that friend of yours, the girl.
doug stanhope
Me and Hedberg went in there when he lived on Sierra Bonita.
I was fucking staying on his couch, and we went in there as like a dare.
unidentified
Right.
doug stanhope
We always walk past it.
It's right up the fucking street.
joe rogan
And then you realize how cool it was?
doug stanhope
And no one was in there.
They had this bartender named Ginger.
joey diaz
Ginger!
doug stanhope
She was like fucking throw mama from the train.
You know mama?
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
She was that fucked up and she was...
And she was covered in liver spots or crank sores or whatever.
joe rogan
She's still alive?
doug stanhope
No.
This is all fucking 90s.
She had been a bartender there since its heyday before.
unidentified
Wow.
doug stanhope
You know how dive bars go.
They go through.
So they couldn't fire her and this old alcoholic ran it.
But she threw a blind guy out of the bar for having a dog.
joey diaz
There's no dogs!
doug stanhope
And then the regulars that knew her were trying to explain, no, it's a seeing eye dog.
He's blind.
I don't care, no dogs!
joe rogan
Wow.
doug stanhope
This is like horrific fucking human being.
You'd be sitting at the bar and your drink is out and...
Am I good?
Everyone's listening to me, so I got thrown off.
joe rogan
It's just the sound of Joey's breathing and the silence together.
It was disturbing for all of us.
doug stanhope
You know, you'd have an empty drink and she'd go out, and people would say, no, I'm good right now.
unidentified
And she'd go, this isn't a bus stop!
doug stanhope
Wow.
That's why there was no one in there.
But then the next thing you know, you're fucking doing...
It was Quentin Tarantino, I think.
It was me and Hedberg and Quentin Tarantino, and that's it in this dive shithole.
It's closed now, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joey diaz
Remember when we used to play tennis?
joe rogan
That place is closed?
doug stanhope
Tennis.
joey diaz
Remember we used to get tennis rackets and play tennis?
doug stanhope
I have pictures of it, yeah.
joey diaz
Me, him, and Hedberg.
What was the kid with the long hair from Seattle that was in Ireland doing comedy?
doug stanhope
Oh, Shard Hogan or something?
unidentified
No!
joey diaz
Oh, my God.
All those guys.
doug stanhope
Dave Fulton.
joey diaz
Dave Fulton.
Stanhope had to rent a car that was in front of his house.
Again, you could just jump in it and drive it whenever you need it.
But the gas gauge was broken.
I got busted one time in Santa Monica and San Vicente on fucking rush hour.
Because, you know, you just get in the car.
I have an audition, Stanhope.
I'm going to buy it.
Take the car.
unidentified
Boom!
joey diaz
Get in the fucking car.
Ran out of gas.
Oh, my God.
No fucking nailing.
doug stanhope
Because the gas gauge is broken.
That's what it was.
joey diaz
You have no fucking idea.
Another night, Stan Hope is out of town or something like that.
And he goes, take the car, Celine.
And Celine goes, take the car and just bring it to Stan Hope's in the morning.
I park it on Sunset and they fucking tow it.
The white neon.
$200 for the white neon.
doug stanhope
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
joey diaz
10 in the fucking morning.
joe rogan
Remember when you lived in Venice in that house that was painted like the American flag?
doug stanhope
Yeah, they painted it right after 9-11.
They painted this giant duplex, and it was giant stars and fucking stripes.
joe rogan
Oh, so Super Bowl weekend is Diaz versus St. Pierre.
joey diaz
Oh, shit, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't know if St. Pierre is fully repaired, though.
joey diaz
He's repaired.
joe rogan
He had an injury.
joey diaz
The anger he had from listening to Diaz healed the fucking thing.
Just healed it.
joe rogan
I hope so.
A lot of other fights.
Carlos Condit, Josh Costa.
doug stanhope
Listen, let's stop fucking talking like fans and talk like men.
We don't watch GSP for his knees, alright?
Keep wearing those tight fucking shorts.
joey diaz
I love you motherfuckers.
joe rogan
Do you like the fact that he shaved?
Is that what it is?
doug stanhope

Hold the fuck on.
joey diaz
Oh, yeah, yeah.
doug stanhope
The cats.
I fucking...
I still talk about them.
unidentified
I still talk about them.
joey diaz
I act.
...and Stanhope's mother's cat died.
So she had to wait for the cat, and she put a little towel, and she put the fucking towel, and she had all the cats sit around the dead cat and look at them and express their condolences to the cat.
And I told Mrs. Stanhope, Mrs. Stanhope, she goes, look at them.
They love the cat.
I go, they don't love them.
They're sitting around going, how are we going to get that ear?
unidentified
I need that ear.
joey diaz
I need that leg.
I need that tail.
Because everybody was missing something.
Her mother was great for cats.
If a cat was missing a leg, that belonged to Mrs. Stanhope.
Fuck it.
doug stanhope

We already have Brendan Walsh, Brody Stevens.
It's Saturday, December 10th.
unidentified

doug stanhope
It's the Rialto Theater in Tucson.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
That sounds awesome.
doug stanhope
What is it for?
It's a...
It's a benefit for the Humane Society.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
doug stanhope
Every fucking penny.
I'm paying comics fucking airfares.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Oh, that's awesome, man.
doug stanhope
Nothing's coming out of the gate.
I got that surgery.
I had a fucking umbilical hernia.
So I just put on my website as a joke.
Yeah, I have this.
I'd describe the problem.
It's a belly button hernia, which is your fucking intestines pouring out of your guts.
brian redban
Oh, my God.
doug stanhope
But the fatter and older I got, the more pronounced it became.
And people are like, you gotta get that check.
Anyway, I put on my website, I'll give you a, if you're a surgeon out there, I'll give you a free DVD if you give me free surgery.
And I got it.
joe rogan
Really?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow, free surgery.
What is it like getting under a fan that's going to put you under and open you up?
doug stanhope
It wasn't fucking Wilds and Whites of West Virginia, fucking Oxycontin, I can fix anything kind of surgery.
joe rogan
It was a respectable doctor.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, there were anesthesiologists that were fans, and you look like Robert De Niro at some points, and I'm trying to fucking ignore a lot of things that are going on in my head, but Which Robert De Niro?
joe rogan
The Cape Fear one?
doug stanhope
I don't know.
Your fucking head's just...
it does that naturally but it's kind of twisting out of control that's so funny Doug Stanhope, it's all gonna be groovy.
What was his story?
joe rogan
Who knows?
Could be anything.
brian redban
What?
joe rogan
Any idea what his story was about?
brian redban
I can't remember.
joe rogan
Something about Ralphie Mae making out with your mom.
brian redban
Oh yeah, that's right.
joe rogan
That's what it was supposed to.
That's where it was supposed to go.
doug stanhope
Yeah, what was I fucking...
Was I talking about my mother?
brian redban
No, I think Joey Diaz just did one of those things where he just ran out and was like, I'm going to drop this bomb and run.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
He fucks your head up.
It's so important, man.
Guys like him, man.
It's so important.
It's so important to meet dudes that are just out there on the fringes.
doug stanhope
We were randomly talking about this last night or this morning about, like, people that you know that are funnier than any comics, you know?
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Like, when they fucking die, they're like, oh, comedy lost a masterpiece.
No, that was a funny dude at a bar.
I have so many people I know that are just fucking funny.
unidentified
Comedy's a lot of things, yeah.
joe rogan
And they just never get into stand-up.
doug stanhope
My manager is funnier than me, and I know it fucking destroys him.
Because he's just genuinely brilliant and funny.
Really?
Yeah.
joe rogan
My manager's funny.
My business manager's funny.
My business manager...
doug stanhope
But as funny as comics are funny.
joe rogan
Yeah, he could be a comic.
They could easily...
Both of them could have been comics if they wanted to be.
Yeah.
I know a lot of people that could have been comics.
There's a lot of them, you know?
And it's a funny thing.
It's who decides to take that road.
Who decides not to?
Same, but, you know...
Those people that could have done it, man.
They're the same type of people to be around.
Like the guys I used to hang out with at the pool.
Funniest fucking human beings I've ever met.
They were just derelicts.
Gambling junkies, and they're just wild motherfuckers.
Just dudes who weren't fitting into some 9-to-5 suit job.
It wasn't working out for them.
doug stanhope
And it wasn't even like comics where comics try to say something funny on purpose.
They're just funny people.
joe rogan
Exactly.
They're not working on it.
They're not working on a bit.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
Joey Diaz.
Just fucking...
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, come on.
doug stanhope
The cliche is...
Yeah, you can read a phone book, but he's that funny.
joe rogan
Do you remember the early days when dudes would actually try bits on you?
doug stanhope
That's the worst.
Oh yeah, no, I still get it.
brian redban
I do it all the time.
joe rogan
You do it all the time to people?
brian redban
I don't do...
It's not a bit.
It's something I think of that's funny, and I'm just like, oh, I'll just say it out loud to see if everyone thinks it's funny.
But it's not like, I've been writing this bit for many, many weeks, and I can't...
Oh, I see what you're saying.
It's more of something I just thought of maybe like that minute.
joe rogan
So you're not sure, so you try it out on people.
brian redban
I don't really...
doug stanhope
If you're open about trying it out.
If you're saying, hey, listen, I'm working on this bit.
Do you have any ideas?
joe rogan
No, he'll just fucking force me into the conversation.
doug stanhope
I won't even say what city because he'd know.
But there was a comic, like an old, like fucking 30 some plus years in the business in the green room.
I haven't seen you in so long.
You haven't worked on that, blah, blah, blah.
And he starts telling me...
joe rogan
You're fucking giving it away with that voice.
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
No, no.
There's no one you probably know.
A British guy.
A British guy.
brian redban
Oh, no, no.
doug stanhope
Am I talking fucked up?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
brian redban
Black British.
doug stanhope
I'm just happy I'm talking.
unidentified
Sorry.
Anyway.
doug stanhope
No, no.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm going to fucking power through this.
Oh yeah, so he riffs all these jokes as a conversation, but he's doing a guest set, and then goes immediately from the green room and has the exact same conversation that we just had in the green room as a set.
joe rogan
Oh, you know what he did?
He just ear-fucked you.
He just made you sit and listen to his set so he could warm up.
That's what he did.
doug stanhope
But it was almost immediate.
joe rogan
Perfect for him.
He's like, if I can get it off in front of Stanhope, I'll probably be fine.
doug stanhope
No, but it was someone I've known for.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he doesn't care.
There's people that are basically almost sociopathic.
Their desire to succeed and their desire to do well on stage supersedes everything.
Supersedes being a human.
And they don't care if they just use you to get their shit off and practice before they go on stage.
You're my friend.
I'm going to practice on you.
You're my friend.
Suck my dick.
They're just ear-fucking you.
Instead of fucking your mouth, they're fucking your ear.
They want to get off in your mouth.
doug stanhope
Christian Finnegan had their talk blockers.
joe rogan
Talkbuckers?
doug stanhope
That's Christian Finnegan.
joe rogan
That's a good way of putting it.
There's people that just want to talk at you, man.
That's the cocaine effect.
I don't know what that is, but I've noticed.
I'm very ignorant to the effects of cocaine.
The only insight that I have is the one time that you and I drank that Mata de Cocoa tea.
It was the same time, the whole day of the war.
doug stanhope
Oh, yeah, alright.
joe rogan
And I remember saying, I can't shut the fuck up.
Like, I got a real problem.
I cannot shut the fuck up.
doug stanhope
I'll give you an analogy that might work.
You know when you're writing really well?
joe rogan
Yes.
doug stanhope
And you're like, fuck.
I do this to bingo.
Fucking just be with me.
Because my head's going faster than I can write.
And I just bounce ideas off of her.
That's what cocaine is like.
Where you're fucking...
Okay, I'm rapid cycling.
No, you need to hear this because my fucking brain's going and...
joe rogan
Right.
doug stanhope
But it's two people doing that at the same time and it's all fucking pointless and it's a bad notebook.
joe rogan
It's inorganic.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, is Adderall the medium then?
Because a lot of people that are on Adderall day...
I mean, but what's the difference between the cocaine high and a speed high?
brian redban
Well, I know Adderall is very much a lot like cocaine.
It makes me feel like I'm even getting drips because it's just like a constant reminder that it feels like I'm on cocaine.
Wow.
But it seems like it lasts longer and like where cocaine, you feel this like up and then like 15 minutes later you feel like you're on another line.
doug stanhope
Cocaine is just like a jolt where for me, Adderall, that just gives me anxiety.
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Like as a long term, like I don't...
I like the, what do you call it?
The practice of doing coke.
I like the chopping up and doing a line is really romantic.
And if you're doing the fucking comedy, like the comedy store green room, the main stage green room of the comedy store, just like, I want to chop up a rail.
joe rogan
That mirror is just covered in space.
doug stanhope
It's mirrored.
brian redban
It's a mirrored piano.
joe rogan
It's hilarious.
But it's not a real piano.
doug stanhope
Like you do Red Bull.
I can do a bump and I move on with my life.
It's like a fucking energy drink now.
joe rogan
Really?
Wow.
doug stanhope
That's amazing.
The whole act of it is...
joe rogan
I was on the highway once.
I was like 18 years old.
I was with my friends.
We were driving home, and we were in Revere.
We were near Kelly's Roast Beef.
It's a fucking really sketchy neighborhood with a great place to get fried clams.
And as we're driving, we see this car beside us.
And the people in the backseat had the light on, they had the dome line on, and they were doing coke.
And the girl looks over at me.
I looked at her, and she just goes, fuck!
doug stanhope
Fuck you!
joe rogan
She just looks at me and has this fucking evil look in her face.
Fuck you!
And I'm like, whoa!
All I did was look over at you, caught you doing coke, and she's going...
And I was like, okay.
doug stanhope
But it's weird how a little thing like that will...
joe rogan
Scare you off of it.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, there was that.
doug stanhope
The first time I did acid, I... We lived in a Vegas where I lived with this family.
We're all like renting from her, but there was kids in the fucking they'd play basketball in the driveway every day and like you know 8 to 12 years old every day and the first time I did acid we took it and I'm having a fun time and I'm like this is fucking good and then we went back in for a second hit and I put the acid on my tongue and And then we walk back out into this,
I'm fucking tripping hard, and there's a bunch of kids, little kids playing basketball, and someone threw me the basketball, so I inhaled, still had the paper on my tongue, and it stuck to the fucking clitoris in the back of your throat.
So I puked into my mouth.
In front of kids, but I'm consciously thinking, I don't want to lose the hit of acid that I just put.
So I have a mouthful of puke, trying not to...
So I try to swallow the puke, which makes you puke way harder than anything else.
So I just...
I extreme vomit in front of all these horrified children.
It's four in the afternoon.
Wow.
And I start picking through the puke because I don't want to lose that hit of acid.
And I found the acid in my puke and I wiped it off in my beer neck.
brian redban
Would it even still work?
doug stanhope
The looks on the faces of the children where some guy that was just your neighbor guy kind of guy is coming out and now he's rummaging through his own vomit in the afternoon.
Such a beautiful image.
And that might queer those kids off into an acid, is my point.
joe rogan
You know what?
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Much like you were queered off coke from a finger.
Some man in a mullet rummaging through his vomit on a side street in Vegas.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
doug stanhope
That might make you think...
But it was one of the best nights of my life.
joe rogan
Did you tell him?
doug stanhope
To this day, that fucking trip was still legendary.
unidentified
Like...
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Just from Eaton, did you think when you put it back in your mouth, it hit you harder?
doug stanhope
Well, it was a second hit.
The point is...
No, it was my first time tripping, so I was already on one hit and wanted more, of course.
Let's do more.
joe rogan
Wow.
Yeah, that probably did queer the Moffat.
Yeah.
Is it okay to say queer the Moffat?
brian redban
No.
doug stanhope
I'm just so happy I remembered why I started this story.
It's because you were talking about the cocaine and the woman.
That seems like 40 minutes ago.
joe rogan
That was a long time ago.
doug stanhope
Really?
I'm so fucking...
brian redban
It was weird when you started taking a nap just right there.
You took like a little nap.
Do you remember?
joe rogan
Did I? Brian's fucking with you.
Don't do that, Brian.
Don't fuck with dudes that are tripping on you.
brian redban
Oh, come on.
That was not fucking.
I'm sorry.
joe rogan
Alright, fella.
Settle down.
Your cigarette went out?
The new cigarettes went out.
doug stanhope
Yeah, well, I guess I talked for a minute.
joe rogan
I thought cigarettes just designed to burn forever.
doug stanhope
There's been a lot of the show that I'm just sitting listening to in my car and I'm like, oh wait, I'm on it.
Fuck, I gotta talk.
I was just a huge fan sitting back for a while.
brian redban
In California, they actually have these new cigarettes where they stop burning after certain parts of the cigarette.
doug stanhope
Oh, that's only California.
We were talking about that.
That was a fad, like childproof lighters, but it's a California thing.
brian redban
Well, I don't know if it's all California or if they just did them for all cigarettes, but it's so that people, when they flick them out their windows, it will go out and not blow and catch a fire.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
brian redban
It seems like it would be...
How do they do that?
What kind of chemical is that?
joe rogan
Who knows what the fuck they're putting in there anyway.
The FDA, Food and Drug Administration, that's what it is.
They approved more than 500 different chemicals that are in cigarettes.
doug stanhope
Well, that's fantastic for Philip Morris, who I've just put...
joe rogan
Did you buy stock?
Did you buy some Philip Morris stock?
doug stanhope
Yeah, my fucking accountant.
You know, do something with your money or something.
joe rogan
Is that if he talks to you?
brian redban
Well, no, he's his accountant.
Brennan Walsh?
doug stanhope
No, that's how I hear it.
Trying to tell me about a rainy day.
Have I actually said that to him?
I go, I don't really have that much confidence in saving for later.
So yeah, let's just keep it in the bank.
Can I get it with an ATM? Alright, that's all I care about.
joe rogan
Just kind of hope it's still real, right?
doug stanhope
But yeah, I had to get comedy accounts.
They're very cool, but...
It was when they're trying to talk to you real business-like, and you go, yeah, I probably won't be alive then.
unidentified
And they're like, ooh, how do we talk?
joe rogan
So you got an accountant that's just a regular dude.
doug stanhope
No, he's the comics accountant.
He has like 500 comics.
I want to name drop him.
I can't remember his name, but it's something Jewish.
joe rogan
So he's still shocked?
doug stanhope
Harvey Altman and his kid.
They're fucking big comedy fans.
unidentified
Well, that's cool.
joe rogan
So what he's trying to do is...
doug stanhope
Or shysters.
joe rogan
We'll find out soon.
That does happen upon occasion.
doug stanhope
They've done well by me.
joe rogan
You've been shystered?
doug stanhope
No, I said they've done it.
joe rogan
Oh, these have done well by you.
doug stanhope
That was my plug.
I have to always mention Harvey Altman.
joe rogan
Have you heard about him?
doug stanhope
After I stutter and try to remember his name.
joe rogan
Have you heard about this new fucking thing that's going down, this new bill that they're trying to define the United States as a battleground?
doug stanhope
First of all, don't fucking O&A me where you're talking to your laptop.
I'm trying to make it seem like a conversation.
joe rogan
I'm trying to remember.
doug stanhope
I wonder why I don't talk for 30 minutes.
joe rogan
Just for a second.
doug stanhope
Even fucking Norton.
Even Norton sits on there.
He's constantly just looking at his cell phone.
Fucking O, I guess, is always staring at a laptop.
You're like...
What the fuck is going on?
joe rogan
It does ruin the flow.
You're correct.
I just wanted to get your take on it, though.
doug stanhope
I always thought it was closing.
Like, every time you do O&A, I love them.
They're all great people.
There's no pretense with them, but it all seems like they're going out of business.
unidentified
Like...
doug stanhope
Why?
joe rogan
What do you mean?
doug stanhope
They just have that attitude of, yeah, anytime they're going to start taking boxes out of here.
They're all just watching.
It's not even for the show.
You're looking up something for the show.
joe rogan
They're just fucking around while they're working?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, that's funny.
doug stanhope
Norton's fucking twittering.
joe rogan
That's a problem when nobody stops everybody from doing that shit.
doug stanhope
I went on there last time and I felt like, are we really on the air?
unidentified
It's so easy to do.
joe rogan
It's so easy to just fucking check your Twitter all the time.
brian redban
Constantly.
I think it's just because they do it every day.
Can you imagine doing this every day for, what, four, six hours?
How long do they do it?
That's craziness.
joe rogan
Yeah, what we do is a lot, and it's still...
doug stanhope
Don't get me wrong.
joe rogan
No problem.
Very manageable.
doug stanhope
It was very comfortable, but it was like where you go, hey, we're just four of us hanging out.
joe rogan
They're just so comfortable with hanging out that it doesn't seem like they're putting on a show.
doug stanhope
They don't have to talk for minutes at a time.
joe rogan
No, come on.
unidentified
They don't do that.
doug stanhope
No, it just seemed like that when you're in there.
joe rogan
That's my favorite show to do, because when you do that show, it's just like you're hanging out.
It doesn't feel like, you know, so many shows, it's like...
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
You feel like you're upright, your posture's upright, and you're just trying to give a good presentation, and then you leave.
You know, you're like, this is...
I never feel like I connected with these people, but, you know, you go to ONA, it's just a hangout, and people just walk in.
You know, there was people walking in the hall just wandering in.
doug stanhope
Fucking Dice Clay walked in and just owned the place, and it was so amazing.
joe rogan
Marion Barry walked in once.
Marion Barry, and we were asking him questions about smoking crack.
He just was in the hallway, wandered in.
doug stanhope
The amount of energy Dice Clay can still put into being Dice Clay.
joe rogan
He's a master.
doug stanhope
You have no idea what's an act.
I'm talking to Norton.
He's my friend.
That's what it's like on the road.
And they're like, well, you're not telling me if this is fucking real right now.
joe rogan
So you don't know if it's him or if it's real.
doug stanhope
Yeah, well, he's got that, what's her name?
The great chick from the comedy store, legendary.
joe rogan
Eleanor?
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Yeah, she was with him.
brian redban
That's funny that you immediately knew who it is.
That's who I was thinking of.
joe rogan
Oh, Eleanor is amazing.
She's amazing.
doug stanhope
She is the comedy store to me.
joe rogan
Yeah, when she's gone, that place is dead.
You know, they don't have any of the old waitresses working there anymore.
doug stanhope
Is she still there?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
She's a comic, man.
You know, she's a comic.
She's doing well.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
doug stanhope
She's doing really well.
brian redban
But all the waitresses are all gone.
doug stanhope
I really thought there was someone over there.
And then when they started gyrating on them, I'm like, oh fuck, what is...
joe rogan
Look at Robert Plant.
doug stanhope
This is a giant fucking half-naked Robert Plant.
joe rogan
Look at Robert Plant's balls and cock right there.
Clearly defined.
doug stanhope
That's an 18-foot ceiling and they're projecting Robert Plant's fucking package.
joe rogan
Wow, that's so weird.
He's got his balls and cock are clearly on the left side of his pants.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no.
joe rogan
Look, there's his dick.
doug stanhope
It's almost sculpted.
joe rogan
It's weird.
It's not even real.
And the way he moves, he would be terrible at fucking.
You know, he's not like Bobby Brown up there.
brian redban
They call that whiskey dick.
joe rogan
He just looks like the way he moves is like real awkward.
doug stanhope
He's a bottom.
joe rogan
I wouldn't want him fucking me, I'll tell you that.
I'm like, come on, buddy, what's this?
doug stanhope
I've never seen you dance, Joe.
joe rogan
You never know, bro.
doug stanhope
This sounds like it's going to become a dance-off.
Robert Plant on the wall.
joe rogan
They just didn't have the same awareness back there, I don't think.
doug stanhope
Don't worry, no one's filming.
joe rogan
They just look different.
They are, though.
If you had an all-time favorite band, Led Zeppelin, is it up there?
doug stanhope
No.
joe rogan
No?
Really?
doug stanhope
Pink Floyd The Wall would be on my top five albums.
joe rogan
Yeah, I agree.
doug stanhope
But I also have Counting Crows and Tim Curry, who no one knows his fucking music at all.
Tim Curry put out some really fucking...
joe rogan
Tim Curry the actor?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
From Clue?
joe rogan
No.
doug stanhope
He had one kind of vague hit with I Do The Rock.
I'd do the rock myself.
No?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
doug stanhope
And that was it.
He did Rocky Horror and then put out two albums and then a best of.
joe rogan
He was the lead in Rocky Horror, right?
He was the...
Wasn't he?
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow, that guy's like a really good singer?
doug stanhope
Yeah, he's fucking...
joe rogan
Like, what kind of music?
doug stanhope
He's kind of...
joe rogan
You putting him above Led Zeppelin?
doug stanhope
Robert, uh, what's his...
joe rogan
You putting him above Led Zeppelin?
doug stanhope
There's no Zeppelin album I want to sit on a fucking island and listen to.
unidentified
Wow.
doug stanhope
Really?
brian redban
That's crazy.
joe rogan
You heard the ocean?
doug stanhope
But I don't like music.
I don't like...
It just fucking...
It just ruins conversation.
joe rogan
It does sometimes, but it's great when you're on airplanes.
doug stanhope
You know, I read or I sleep.
joe rogan
I do too.
I do those too, but I also like listening to music and writing.
doug stanhope
I hate music.
joe rogan
Really?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I want to download.
And if you're listening, I want a lot of fucking big band swing, but no vocals.
That's what I want to listen to when I write, is no vocals.
I want to have that as background music.
joe rogan
I do the same thing.
You know what I do?
I do Spanish music.
doug stanhope
Yeah, fucking...
brian redban
Joe, does...
doug stanhope
Classical...
Yeah, it sounds just...
It has an air of cunty right around...
joe rogan
Right, it does.
doug stanhope
Makes me write cunty.
brian redban
Does Ralphie Mae play the guitar?
joe rogan
Um, I don't know.
doug stanhope
No, but he didn't fucking die.
Like, Ralphie Mae's in my death pool.
I had to put one comic.
This is a for money one.
It's a real death pool.
Not like just something we joke about.
This is for money.
joe rogan
How much money?
doug stanhope
50 bucks each person for a year.
joe rogan
How many people?
doug stanhope
There's only 11 people, but next year we're going to get this rocking.
I've never had more fun than being in a death pool.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
It's like having stocks or something.
joe rogan
Wow.
doug stanhope
Checking the paper.
joe rogan
People get super offended when you put them in your death pool, though.
doug stanhope
Well, I was fucking...
Like, I've had so many people...
I front-loaded celebrity rehab.
So, Tom Sizemore, if you're listening, geez, you know what?
Fucking remember the crackle of that rock.
How fucked the adrenaline, the self-confidence...
Get back with Heidi Fleiss.
joe rogan
Guys are great together.
doug stanhope
Because I need you to die by December 31st because I'm in 7th place.
My only death this year is Jeff Conaway.
joe rogan
Oh, that guy died, huh?
doug stanhope
Yeah, but there's a bonus system.
If there's an overdose, I get another 25 points for the overdose.
And he was a Scientologist.
He went to that after Celebrity Rehab.
So Scientology is another fucking...
joe rogan
Scientology is late in life then.
Very late, right?
doug stanhope
Yeah, because Dr. Drew didn't work.
joe rogan
Brian, can you pull up a video of that guy all fucked up?
Because I heard that on Celebrity Rehab, he was super fucked up.
I heard it like a bunch of different times, but I never saw it.
Did you ever see it?
unidentified
Who?
joe rogan
The guy that died.
doug stanhope
Jeff Conaway.
Yeah, that's...
Because I don't follow pop culture, but I watch Celebrity Rehab because I hate Dr. Drew with such a violent passion.
Because he's a fucking shyster, snake oil salesman piece of shit.
And it's all on the new DVD that'll come out as soon as I can pick a cover.
joe rogan
Dr. Drew is a good guy.
I like Dr. Drew.
I know him.
He's a real nice guy.
doug stanhope
It makes him more evil because he believes what he says.
joe rogan
He says some crazy shit, though.
He said some really ridiculous shit about marijuana and the addiction properties of it and the withdrawal effects.
doug stanhope
That keeps him in business.
Again, he's one of those non-compliant frauds.
joe rogan
But he's kind of adjusted his stance on that.
He's kind of like, hey, this is what always pisses me off about people when they have this.
doug stanhope
He adjusts his stance based on fucking the poles, basically.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, you know, it's a personal freedom issue, and anybody who doesn't understand that is ridiculous.
And if it was really that bad, there'd be a bunch of fucking bodies attributed to it, and there's none.
And my real problem with it is that they always have this whole, like...
doug stanhope
Well, see me tonight in Brea.
I might be just on a fucking slab.
joe rogan
Dude, you're going to be great.
You're great.
It's only 5 o'clock.
You've got mad time, dude.
Three hours from now, you'll be lucid.
doug stanhope
That was me being just self-deprecating and plugging Brea.
joe rogan
Brea Improv tonight.
Yeah, one show, what time?
8 p.m.?
doug stanhope
If you're not listening to this, then you'll have no idea why the show went like that.
joe rogan
Is it 8 p.m.?
doug stanhope
Yeah, I guess.
joe rogan
Who's doing the show with you?
unidentified
It's an improv.
doug stanhope
It's fucking like...
joe rogan
Usually 8pm.
Who's doing the show with you?
doug stanhope
It's like your family.
Wednesday at 5. Yeah.
joe rogan
Always 5. Always 8. Yeah, you can't have a nutty 11.45 show.
doug stanhope
I've played like three improvs now.
It was two out of three, three out of four, where they hadn't updated the fucking video screen.
Stop that fucking red band right now.
It's making me up there.
joe rogan
Yeah, dude, you keep changing that, and it's distracting.
brian redban
You told me to show you the video.
You did search the video for Jeff Conaway, and so I was going to play it.
unidentified
Well, that's not the video.
joe rogan
That's Doug's face.
brian redban
Yeah, but I was going to play it for you.
doug stanhope
That's my fucking giant head that I'm against.
joe rogan
Okay.
I love your head.
Let's play that Jeff Conaway thing.
Let's see.
Now that you got it up there.
Oh, that's that one.
unidentified
Oh, he's over there.
joe rogan
Oh wow.
unidentified
What's that music, Brian?
joe rogan
Is that in this...
That's your fucking shitty music?
That's really in your iPod?
Oh, play this back so I can hear this guy's voice.
He's jacked, dude.
Put it early.
doug stanhope
They're subtitling it for a reason.
He's not making it.
joe rogan
I know, but I want to hear the noises.
doug stanhope
But that guy was fucked.
They showed...
This is back when they glorified the pre-story.
joe rogan
Look at him.
unidentified
There we go.
joe rogan
Dude, drugs suck.
unidentified
Killing myself.
joe rogan
Killing myself.
unidentified
How would you do that?
Are you seeing something?
What are you seeing?
I'm seeing myself breaking that mirror and slicing my f***ing throat with it.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
These are glasses.
unidentified
I could break them and I could slit my breasts with them.
joe rogan
How amazing would it be if this guy didn't do any drugs at all and this was like a role he was playing to try to let people know he could still f***ing act?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
And Dr. Drew is about to tell him that fucking God will heal it.
joe rogan
Dr. Drew doesn't say that, does he?
doug stanhope
Yeah, he's a fucking 12-stepper.
That's what AA is.
They put you into 12-step programs, but you're all about God.
joe rogan
You know why I think they do that?
I think it's a mechanism.
I agree with you that it's silly if you want to look at it as far as whether it's plausible.
And I'm crying at the same time.
unidentified
And some guy in the audience talks to me.
joe rogan
He says, you laughing or you crying?
unidentified
I turned my head and I said, I'm laughing and I'm crying.
joe rogan
Okay, kill it.
Kill it, Brian.
Thank you.
If that guy was really acting, if that wasn't how he really is, if he was just acting, that would be brilliant.
What a great move.
Somebody should do that.
doug stanhope
He acted so well, he fucking died like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he wasn't doing it.
But what a great idea it would be to show people how good you can act.
Go on celebrity rehab and just fake being fucked.
That's what they do.
doug stanhope
No, that's what they do.
They've had people on there for marijuana addiction.
I think he said he's not doing it anymore, which I hate because I love trashing it.
joe rogan
I think he takes shit for it.
Well, he's got that new CNN show now, I think.
doug stanhope
Yeah, now he's trying to...
I'm not just a doctor of sex and drugs now.
Now I'm a doctor of life.
joe rogan
You know that...
doug stanhope
Yeah, fulfill your destiny or...
joe rogan
They become celebrity doctors.
Very tricky, like that CNN guy, Sanjay Gupta.
doug stanhope
I actually thanked him on my no refunds.
joe rogan
Really?
Why?
doug stanhope
I just thanked weird people.
It's a name that sticks in your head, like syrup.
Sanjay Gupta.
Next, it was Sanjay.
Stop with saying Sanjay Gupta.
Fucking just make up another name.
So I put Sanjay Gupta back into the universe instead of stuck in my head like a fucking leper.
joe rogan
That guy took hundreds of thousands of dollars from pharmaceutical companies.
Takes over $100,000 a year.
doug stanhope
He's a piece of shit.
joe rogan
Isn't that ridiculous?
doug stanhope
I can't stand those fucking foreign pieces of shit coming over to take our fucking white people's pieces of shit jobs.
unidentified
Coming over here and stealing our fucking...
doug stanhope
Where's that white guy I used to hate?
Sanjay Gupta.
joe rogan
He's coming over here and taking our corruption.
doug stanhope
Is that nonsense, Sayer?
joey diaz
Wow.
joe rogan
You alright, buddy?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I'm good.
I haven't been high in so fucking long.
joe rogan
Is that what it is?
brian redban
You used to not smoke weed at all.
doug stanhope
I don't smoke weed at all.
brian redban
Many years, I've seen you turn down weed every single time until this is the first time I think I've ever seen you smoke.
joe rogan
It's great, isn't it?
brian redban
I love it.
doug stanhope
I'm intimidated.
joe rogan
Why are you intimidated by it?
doug stanhope
No, I'm intimidated.
You made me smoke pot.
joe rogan
Oh.
doug stanhope
It was going around the table.
I didn't want to be the uncool kid.
joe rogan
Well, you said you were...
The only reason I even passed it to you is because you said before that, I'm even willing to smoke pot.
doug stanhope
Well, I really want to...
It's so fucking available.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's awesome.
doug stanhope
That's the thing.
I want to have a taste for it.
I want to stop fucking drinking so much.
joe rogan
You should try the edibles.
The reason why the edibles have a totally different effect, man.
It's like really like a strong psychedelic.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, you eat cookies.
Eat one of these fucking cookies that Joey takes.
I guarantee you enjoy it.
doug stanhope
The problem is it's like every other drug or alcohol, like it would be starting, I'd be 18 years old again, which is what I feel like right now where I'm just fucking stupid and forgetting that we have to fucking entertain you assholes.
joe rogan
We're fine.
It's entertaining.
You're fine.
You're fine.
I know what you're saying.
doug stanhope
But the point is, yeah, I don't want to have to start with weed, like, okay, how much can I smoke before a show?
joe rogan
It always amazed me that you were so introspective.
You're a very introspective dude, and you don't have any ego problems, and yet you didn't smoke weed.
I always thought that was really interesting.
doug stanhope
Because it was never a community thing.
When you trip with people, you're all like, we're together.
We're all fucking in this.
And every time I smoked weed, it seemed like everyone was laughing without me or at me.
It never felt so...
joe rogan
Maybe you gave up on it way too early.
Maybe you're smoking it with the wrong people.
Because if you're smoking it with us, it's just a giggle fest.
We just smoke weed, break down the universe, and laugh at shit.
brian redban
You're probably smoking too much, too, but you're probably thinking it's like a beer where you have to have many hits.
Honestly, I think even before a show, one hit usually would be awesome.
joe rogan
Yeah, you wouldn't want to do it before a show.
doug stanhope
It's been so long since I actually was a teenage fucking weed smoker and realized I don't...
I've given it plenty of opportunities.
joe rogan
The problem is there's two kinds of weed.
There's indica, which is what you always get.
That's what you normally get in Florida.
That's what you get if you don't know a guy.
It's what you get if you're not educated.
Indica is the stuff that makes you sleepy.
It's really bad for short-term memory loss.
Sativa is not so great for it either.
Short-term memory is a weird thing with marijuana.
It's almost like the thoughts are coming at you so quickly you forget with the air 10 seconds later.
doug stanhope
You're telling me how many push-ups I should be able to do when you can do a fucking lot.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying there's two different kinds of weed.
The indica is probably what you were getting all the time.
You probably weren't getting the sativa.
doug stanhope
I'm just saying these are...
You're legendary for giving a dude that smokes pot a lollipop and he can't get off a fucking couch.
unidentified
Alright?
joe rogan
Who is that?
doug stanhope
I don't know.
A lot of people that have fucking...
unidentified
I tell them.
doug stanhope
Yeah, it's supposed to be pot.
I couldn't move.
joe rogan
Well, you know what it is, man.
I like it hard.
I'm like, if it's going to hit me, it should knock me on my ass.
I did say it.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
joe rogan
I want it to knock my ass, man.
When you take an edible, you know, you want to really blast off into the ultimate, like, the furthest extent that you can...
doug stanhope
But you function like that.
The same way I function shit-faced drunk.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I don't always function perfectly like that.
I gotta be careful.
doug stanhope
Because I spent 21 years doing it.
Like, you're a fucking seasoned weed guy.
brian redban
Do you still get hangovers?
doug stanhope
Nah, I just feel like shit all the time.
unidentified
Every day.
doug stanhope
Every second.
No energy.
joe rogan
I've quit smoking, uh, quit drinking coffee, rather.
I quit drinking coffee like a decade ago.
For the kids?
No, just for a goof.
doug stanhope
Daddy, we don't like it when you...
joe rogan
You're fucking drinking coffee.
unidentified
Why are you awake?
Why are you awake?
joe rogan
I just, uh...
doug stanhope
You sleep with the TV on, it's hell.
I need a shuttle bus to the other wing.
joe rogan
I took off a few days and then I had a cup of coffee and it hit me like a lightning bolt.
I was like, whoa, is this what coffee is normally like?
Because usually I drink it and I don't even feel it.
It's like I'm so used to just drinking coffee.
I'll have two cups of coffee in a day and maybe even more when we're doing the podcast.
I'll pound down three while we're sitting there.
And then you don't realize that your body just developed like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we need to process this shit nice and quick and we need to develop a fucking tolerance for it.
And then when you don't have it for a while, your body sort of normalizes.
And then you'll have a coffee, and it's like, whoa!
Like, it really jolts the shit out of you.
doug stanhope
I attribute it to alcohol, but my nervous system, when I drink coffee now, a lot of times I just fucking visibly shake just from a...
Like, I drink decaf.
unidentified
Wow.
doug stanhope
But I don't know if it's my nervous system is, like, that weak where just coffee affects it.
You know, you're fucking...
You get older, you think everything is attributed to something...
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
I'm so happy when my friends that don't drink all the time don't remember anything like I do.
joe rogan
Well, you use your mind a lot more than a lot of people, I bet, just because of the fact you're always writing and you're always performing and you're always putting your act together and organizing it and putting new shit together and putting out DVDs.
But, you know, all of us, it doesn't matter who you are, eventually this thing is going to shut off.
doug stanhope
Well, yeah, there's a water level, a high water mark to how much fun you had, and it has to be more fun than that to register.
Okay, yeah, well, I got drunk with you in Indianapolis, but that's happened how many fucking decades in a row?
Okay, I don't remember you.
Did we fucking kill a guy?
You'd have to supersede other levels.
Oh, we went to a titty bar.
Oh, did I see tits there?
unidentified
Oh.
Of course I remember you from 2002, you fucking stude.
joe rogan
There's been too many decades and too many...
Yeah, it's interesting when you look back at it.
doug stanhope
I've likened it to, like, if you went to your entire public schooling, comedy, 21 years of comedy.
It's like if you went to your entire public schooling and then college and then a couple years of grad work.
But you are shit-faced every day for your entire fucking schooling and in a different school every week.
And you come up and say, do you remember me from eighth grade?
There's a fucking million eighth grades in this career.
joe rogan
Well, not only that.
Think about the numbers of people you meet every night.
Your brain's not designed for that.
Your brain's designed to meet like 50 people.
You're designed to have like 100 people around you.
unidentified
I used to hate Richard Jenny.
doug stanhope
Because Richard Jenny, when I was, remember that head of the class chick I dated forever, the fucking redhead?
I was dating her, so she had done a platypus man pilot for...
And so she'd be at the improv, and they'd hug and kiss.
And you know how Richard Jenny was a bit of a lech.
And she'd introduce me as her boyfriend.
She'd go, and this is my boyfriend, Doug.
And I'm like this fucking cunt with a mullet in the corner.
And you'd go, yeah, anyway.
Anyway, it's great to see you.
Want to go out to the thing and sushi?
And like...
And he did that a lot to me.
And then he was hosting one night at the fucking Montreal.
Like one of the dirty shows.
One of their late night contrived pieces.
Yeah, it's the danger zone.
And he was emceeing it.
Richard Jenney.
You know, the dangerous Richard Jenney.
On the danger midnight.
Fucking get another 25 quids out of you.
He says, I've never seen this next comic before.
And I go, you fucking hit on my girlfriend all the time.
joe rogan
This is my opening.
doug stanhope
Yeah, he introduces me.
I've never met this comic before, but I've heard good things.
And I just opened with, you never met me.
You fucking try to hammer my girlfriend in front of me like I'm nothing all the time.
joe rogan
Wow.
doug stanhope
He took it in good spirit.
Well, till the end.
Till he killed himself because I said it.
joe rogan
Do you think that's what really ultimately triggered him?
doug stanhope
I'm pretty sure that was...
joe rogan
Just a slow burn.
doug stanhope
My young fucking spirited Montreal son.
joe rogan
That one rant just destroyed his self-esteem.
doug stanhope
Yes.
joe rogan
Did you like him as a comic?
doug stanhope
He had one of the fucking best bits, and I've tried to find it on the internet, about something about playing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald clear parties.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
doug stanhope
I tried to find that on the fucking YouTube.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It was a good comic, man.
I didn't know him as a human being.
I guess you did.
doug stanhope
No, I didn't.
joe rogan
Great comic.
doug stanhope
And I was just poking fun when I said that on stage.
joe rogan
No, of course.
I know.
doug stanhope
But the point of that story is now I'm Richard Jenny.
People are like, you don't fucking remember me.
I opened for you like five times.
I'm sorry.
I know you when we're doing shots of Jägermeister.
joe rogan
During that time, I know you.
doug stanhope
Yeah, and maybe that memory comes back.
joe rogan
Do you know of a thing called Dunbar's number?
It's a theory that there's only a certain amount of numbers, a certain amount of human beings you can keep inside your head.
You can only have, like, a friendship with, like, 150 people.
And when it's more than 150 people, you simply don't have storage for it.
So all the people that you meet, I mean, you're meeting hundreds of people every fucking weekend.
Your brain is just overly burdened when you try to keep in touch with these people and stay friends with them.
doug stanhope
Because when you first start getting any kind of fame, you're like, oh, you traveled from Youngstown.
Well, I'll take you to fucking after hours and then they think they're your friends, but then you get more fans.
So there's a value to them because they're fans and you've never had that, which is a shitty thing to say, but it's the truth.
Then you get more fans and you're like, all right, I'm not taking you to fucking breakfast.
Every time I see you.
Because now I have an actual fan base.
And then you have too many fans.
And then you don't even understand why they like you.
Because you hate yourself.
And then...
Oh, sorry.
unidentified
Did I go too far?
joe rogan
Douglas, you don't hate yourself.
doug stanhope
No, no, I was trying to bring that to an absurd place, but you can't be friends with your fans on some level.
joe rogan
It's a tricky thing.
Well, your fans especially.
You got a bunch of fucking psychos following you around, dude.
doug stanhope
I have another fucking suicide.
I have a suicide letter I got to post on my site.
Really?
Yeah, it's...
We got a 4th of July, and I had my lawyer fucking fact check it, and they...
joe rogan
It's a real suicide?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Somebody killed themselves and sent a letter to you?
doug stanhope
Yeah, they sent a letter.
I wanted to see it before.
It was nice.
My friend is...
You get a picture.
Fourth of July party at the house.
So I get this fan mail.
I always put my address on the fucking website.
Hey, today.
It's Friday, right?
Whatever it is.
Tuesday.
Steal something from work.
Right now.
Podcast listeners.
Steal something from work.
It doesn't have to have any value.
Just some piece of shit.
Take your fucking co-workers picture of their niece off their desk and mail it on the company dime right now to Bingo at 212 Van Dyke Street.
Like Dick Van Dyke, 212 Van Dyke, Bisbee, Arizona, 85603. So I put this, I'll do this every now and then on radio or on my Facebook just because Ben goes retarded and she never understands why all these packages are showing up with fucking post-it notes.
Some guy sent his co-worker's phone while he just unplugged their phone.
It was like, I don't know if it's FedEx or UPS. The guy wrote, he said, this is my last day on the job, so I'm going to send you...
He sent a scanner that's so obsolete that they can't replace them, so it has value, and he's quitting his job anyway, so he sent something, UPS or FedEx, on their dime as of, fuck you, quitting their job.
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
Jesus Christ.
That's fucking funny.
So what do you do with all this stuff?
What do you have stored?
doug stanhope
It's usually nothing of value.
Fucking UPS scanner, I drop everything at the thrift store.
Like t-shirts that you get from...
joe rogan
Oh, so you just take them to the thrift store.
doug stanhope
Start my t-shirt company.
brian redban
There's a lot of t-shirt companies.
Have you noticed how many t-shirt companies there are?
Everybody has a t-shirt company.
joe rogan
Especially in the MMA world.
That's when I really noticed it.
doug stanhope
Yeah, sell it to fucking the MMA world.
Because guys with fucking beer guts don't wear t-shirts.
I wear layers.
joe rogan
You wear layers?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you fuck with your clothes off?
doug stanhope
I don't fuck anymore.
joe rogan
Done.
brian redban
You just lost all.
You don't like it.
joe rogan
When was the last time you tapped?
doug stanhope
Occasionally you do narcotics and they go, oh, hey, yeah, I have a sex drive.
So yeah, probably Portland.
joe rogan
Once a year?
doug stanhope
Yeah, but it wasn't, like, we'd just start laughing in the middle.
Like, this is so ridiculous.
joe rogan
Wow.
doug stanhope
It's just, yeah, it's such a non-event.
It feels fucking trivial.
What is that like?
joe rogan
That's a weird feeling.
What is that like?
doug stanhope
It's like if you just didn't, you weren't hungry anymore.
You want to eat?
No?
Good.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But it's funny how many people, their lives are defined by that lust and that passion, how important it is for them.
doug stanhope
Well, you do see where, like, my comedy has fucking slouched since then, but you realize that you boil it all down to what was the root cause of all this desire?
It was pussy.
And then you get, and then you fucking blow a load on her tits, and you go, hmm, isn't there a better way to say I like you?
Like, isn't there something...
joe rogan
It's not if she likes it.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
joe rogan
If she likes it and you like it, it's pretty fucking fun.
doug stanhope
But it's nature's fuck job where now you can think past nature where you go, all right, now I see what nature does, but nature's fucked.
joe rogan
Do you just ever just...
doug stanhope
The entire...
Where you can look at the actual fucking planet Earth and go, you fucked up.
I know it's a pompous attitude, but I guess to say that nature is fucked and we're right...
joe rogan
Well, we are natural.
doug stanhope
We have logic.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're natural too, man.
That's one thing that people don't consider.
I think that everything we do is ultimately very natural.
doug stanhope
Everything is natural.
Fucking the chemicals you're promoting are natural because it came from somewhere in the earth.
joe rogan
Exactly.
doug stanhope
There's no fucking alien substances.
joe rogan
Everything is natural, even chemicals.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's true.
Yeah.
I think behavior is as well.
I think people are so fucked up because our organism is designed to promote a purpose.
And that purpose seems to be technologically related.
It seems to be about innovation.
doug stanhope
And Red Band's purpose is to get me a cocktail, little lady!
joe rogan
I'll take one too, fella.
Give me another one of those.
doug stanhope
Sam Adams.
I'll take one of your diet fucking off-brand 7-ups.
brian redban
You want the food club special.
doug stanhope
Did you get food club 7-ups?
He says, well, I keep diet.
I keep diet for the porn stars.
joe rogan
Oh, they all like diet?
doug stanhope
That's what he said.
But he's got like some fucking off-brand Sam's Cola kind of...
joe rogan
He told me he keeps energy drinks for the porn stars.
So they all want energy drinks.
doug stanhope
Can I get an energy drink?
Actually, no.
You have Vitale Vodka.
I drink Red Bull and Vodka.
I try to get rid of that fucking Jägermeister burden.
Just saying Jägermeister on stage, you feel like I'm fucking a 44-year-old man saying Jägermeister.
joe rogan
Is that a bad thing to say?
doug stanhope
At some point where you go, I'm too old to do this.
You've had those moments.
joe rogan
Sure.
Yeah, when you're doing shots.
But somehow another whiskey, you could be 60 and still get a shot of whiskey.
You're doing Jager bombs when you're 60. Exactly!
You look like a man of no class.
doug stanhope
But I've grown a taste for all this shit, where all the beer that I like is just shit, horrible corporate beer.
And I watch football too.
joe rogan
So what?
Embrace it.
doug stanhope
But no, the fact that you see all the ads are geared towards the dumbest people alive and you go, I like your product.
Why do you make me feel like an asshole for fucking having a giant ad campaign saying that the fucking label tells me when it's cold because I don't have fucking temperature?
It's...
But that's what I like.
Shit.
I enjoy shit.
I'm at terms with it.
I just hate when it's marketed towards me.
joe rogan
I know what you're talking about, when it treats you like you're dumb, but there's a lot of shit that's cool.
You know, I like muscle cars.
I know they're stupid.
I know they're dumb.
I don't care.
I have a Shelby Mustang.
I like the way it sounds.
I like when I hit the gas, it goes, I'm very aware that we're on a planet, and this planet's a part of a galaxy, and this galaxy's a part of the universe.
I'm enjoying this fucking Mustang.
doug stanhope
It's fun.
I didn't ask to be here.
joe rogan
Exactly.
doug stanhope
Fuck you and your environment.
Sue my mother.
She's the one who had the fucking gall to create life without its consent.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's my attitude towards anybody that tells you that you're supposed to be really involved in our political system.
Hey, we're born into a fucking system that we have no control over and it's absolutely completely fucked.
You want me to really get involved and invested in this?
Is that really fixable?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no.
You make your own fucking government.
It's what the Amish do.
It's what gangs do.
You make your own fucking reality.
joe rogan
But then the federal government is always the big daddy looking over the whole pile.
doug stanhope
But it's something that you learn to avoid the same way you avoid fucking scorpions.
joe rogan
I live in Arizona.
doug stanhope
I shake out my shit before I put it on.
joe rogan
Do you really?
How often do you get scorpions?
doug stanhope
Well, not often enough, but if it's been sitting there for a while, you shake it out.
joe rogan
You know your environment.
doug stanhope
Yeah, exactly.
The point is, the same way you avoid every other fucking obstacle, you just avoid the government.
You vote for Ron Paul and it makes you feel good and there's nothing to do on a Tuesday anyway.
joe rogan
You can't start a compound, though.
They don't let you do that.
Can't do that.
doug stanhope
But you just don't call it a compound.
joe rogan
What do you call it?
doug stanhope
That's the thing is people have to brag and then call it a church.
They have to be fucking like, ooh, I'm going to get on fucking radio until everyone's coming to my compound.
Waco.
You know what?
Just fucking shut up.
Go down to fucking properties cheap in Texas.
Get a whole compound and just say, hey.
brian redban
Do you think you'll ever move to Texas?
doug stanhope
I'll fucking proselytize.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can get plenty of pussy just running it that way.
You don't have to get crazy.
doug stanhope
Everyone that's in a fucking criminal element has to be so, like...
joe rogan
They take it too far.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What gets them to the party ultimately drowns them.
They drown in their own desire to...
doug stanhope
If Occupy Wall Street would dress up like Wall Street so they were indecipherable...
joe rogan
It's too much money.
It's a lot of money.
doug stanhope
No, it's a fucking thrift store run.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you gotta cut your hair.
There's a lot of dudes that dreadlocks.
doug stanhope
Exactly.
So commit yourself to the cause.
You know what?
That's why I love Anonymous.
If they fucking sold merch, I'd buy a shirt.
joe rogan
I was thinking, Brian, we should do a Guy Fawkes mask day where we wear the mask.
doug stanhope
Fucking Anonymous.
brian redban
I got mine already.
doug stanhope
People like that are doing something.
They're fucking with the system.
WikiLeaks is fucking with the system.
And you're fucking...
You're gonna camp.
You're going to walk for a cure is what you're going to do.
joe rogan
What they are though, dude, is they're representing giant numbers.
You do need soldiers.
You need Anonymous.
doug stanhope
You need WikiLeaks.
joe rogan
But the problem is they go after leaders.
And the beautiful thing about this whole Occupy Wall Street thing is there's no leaders.
That's the beautiful thing about it.
doug stanhope
But there's no guidance.
I shouldn't say leaders.
joe rogan
But there's a pretty cohesive message.
doug stanhope
The point is it could be done like Yes Men style.
There's so many...
You see that fucking...
It's like a Dane Cook audience without a comic.
Where you see that fucking need for...
You could turn this force into something.
And there's such fucking dimwits.
Like any movement, most of the populace is going to be a fucking dimwit.
And they need to...
joe rogan
Well, you know, I mean, if you want to go back and read the conspiracy theories of the 60s and the 70s, the idea was that they were engineering our civilization to be this stupid.
And that they were engineering the poor neighborhoods to have shit education and keeping the priorities of education at a minimum so that they can continue to run people because most people are too fucking stupid to realize what's going on.
As long as they can keep this charade going.
And that's why it's all falling apart.
It's because the internet now has allowed pretty much everybody to see what's really happening in the world, see where the real numbers are going and the money's going.
doug stanhope
Except for what Alex Jones sees.
He sees something you can't even see on the internet.
unidentified
Black 995s!
joe rogan
Unless you buy gold, ladies and gentlemen.
unidentified
Right now, they have baskets out in the desert where they're looking to put your gold!
brian redban
Hey, Joe.
unidentified
Senator McCain, you are a disgrace, sir!
brian redban
Remember when we were talking about Occupy L.A., and I said something silly about how I think they should move to the trees and make an Ewok village?
I guess that's exactly what happened.
joe rogan
Dude, I told you before the podcast, we were saying that that guy's a guy from Fear Factor.
brian redban
Oh, he is?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's on Fear Factor.
His name is Shane.
brian redban
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was on Fear Factor with his chick.
brian redban
Yeah, so they're creating an Ewok village.
doug stanhope
I get all confused with...
brian redban
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
It's a very strange thing, man.
It's a weird movement.
There's all these people camped out, man.
And a lot of them, this is where they fucking live.
doug stanhope
But why do you need a fucking movement?
That's what kills me.
unidentified
Why do you need a gang?
joe rogan
It's fascinating, Doug Stanhope.
You don't.
doug stanhope
Why do you need a fucking group?
joe rogan
You don't.
But to me, this is an exciting time.
This is really interesting.
I don't know what's happening, but to me, I see...
These numbers of people moving and these numbers of people protesting are unprecedented.
We've never had a public display of how fucking pissed people are like this.
A public display of how many people are saying this is insane.
doug stanhope
I know it's fantastic.
unidentified
This system's insane.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
doug stanhope
I know it needs to be corralled.
joe rogan
But it's going to.
It's going to eventually...
First of all, the real unfortunate aspect of it all is that they're trying as hard as they can to control it.
unidentified
Little Caesars Pizza?
doug stanhope
Little Caesar's Pizza?
No, Occupy Wall Street, brought to you by...
unidentified
Olive Garden.
doug stanhope
Olive Garden.
joe rogan
Yeah.
The most unfortunate aspect of it is that if it keeps growing, they're going to keep pushing it back, and eventually something's going to break.
They're going to push people.
I mean, we've already had people getting hurt, people getting hit with tear gas canisters in their fucking face, flash grenades.
We've already had a lot of that shit happen, but if it keeps growing, it's going to keep pushing, and they're going to have to push back.
I mean, it's almost inevitable.
So what happens then?
That becomes a real problem.
Where does it go?
doug stanhope
No one's explained to me what the fucking fight is.
joe rogan
Well, the fight is that the system's fucked.
The fight is that people didn't want all these bailouts.
They don't think that all these...
doug stanhope
That's such a broad thing.
joe rogan
It's a huge, broad thing.
It's absolutely broad.
doug stanhope
That's what we've known for years.
You're right.
joe rogan
But this is a general ignorant reaction.
Or not ignorant.
doug stanhope
Any mob action is an ignorant reaction.
joe rogan
It is.
unidentified
Generally.
joe rogan
I don't want to say ignorant, but what it is is it's an unfocused anger with a good percentage of the people who have a clear idea what's the problem.
But there's a lot of them that are absolutely just running around like...
doug stanhope
From a completely military point of view, yes, you need a bunch of stupid people who don't really know what's going on.
Unfortunately, they get interviewed by the press.
You need fucking numbers, and most of the populace is dumb as shit, and you have to get numbers.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Not only that, there's also a real tactic of agent provocateurs where there's cops that dress up and go in and start shit and then arrest everybody.
doug stanhope
But why don't they do the fucking same thing back?
joe rogan
Dress like a cop.
doug stanhope
Without the insignia, yeah, put on fucking riot gear.
Why are you sitting out there?
I'm a weak hippie.
Dress up like a fucking Raider fan.
Giant fucking Mad Max helmet Darth Vader.
Yeah, be as intimidating as the, more intimidating than the cops.
joe rogan
Yeah, put on the attire of a guy who has a country club membership.
doug stanhope
I really, I just want to be a punch-up writer for fucking Occupy Wall Street.
I'm not against them.
I'm not, I don't know what they're for.
Yeah, the system's fucked, and I'm glad that you're out there doing something.
I just want to fucking write some ideas for you, rather than make it so fucking obvious, like, I'm a hippie, a Well, don't you think that's just inevitable?
joe rogan
Whenever you have any sort of a gathering, anybody can join.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to kick the people that suck out?
doug stanhope
No, I quit comedy and go out and go, here's a better sign.
We are the 99%.
Alright, everyone else has that sign.
I want to fucking help.
Let's make this funnier.
Funnier revolution.
joe rogan
But how is that going to help you get rid of all the retards?
It doesn't.
doug stanhope
There's no way to get rid of the retards.
joe rogan
There's no way to educate them.
doug stanhope
You can fucking educate your kids.
You have fucking two kids now, and you can pretend like you're going to have an influence on their life.
joe rogan
You can have an influence on their life, for sure.
doug stanhope
Oh, you can.
joe rogan
You're not going to run the whole thing.
It's an independent human being.
doug stanhope
Fucking Patton Oswalt had the great bit about how kids always rebel against their parents.
So I'm going to be the worst parent in the world, and I'm going to have...
Phil Collins, no jacket required, framed on the mantelpiece, so my kids turn out cool.
joe rogan
That's funny.
Yeah, it's a weird idea, you know, trying to figure out what way to push and pull your kids.
You see them reacting to you, though.
That's the strangest thing.
You see them, you know, like, getting upset that you telling them that they can't do something, and so they rebound the other way.
You know, you can see that pattern developing really early.
Where a lot of us, you know, I mean, I don't know how you were raised, but I met your mom.
doug stanhope
You're the only friend I have that I don't dismiss once I have kids.
Because you have kids like a fucking terrarium project.
I'm going to fucking control the growth.
I'm going to monitor it.
You're not a parent.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm a parent.
I mean, I enjoy it.
doug stanhope
Well, no, you are.
joe rogan
I enjoy it.
doug stanhope
The same way you've never been like a...
We never met your girlfriend.
Well, I guess most of us are the guy that brings their girl.
No, girlfriend, my whole personal life is a...
It's almost like your friends are TMZ. No, I'm going to keep everything private away.
joe rogan
I don't think you know me as well as most people.
doug stanhope
Well, I never met...
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Exactly.
joe rogan
Exactly.
doug stanhope
Jessica?
joe rogan
Yeah, don't...
Don't say names.
doug stanhope
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Sorry, it's too late.
doug stanhope
Oh, fuck.
All right.
We haven't talked in a while.
joe rogan
It's all right.
She doesn't go by her married name.
unidentified
Ha-ha.
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Sorry.
joe rogan
Yeah, but no, I tell people everything.
I just don't tell the internet everything.
No, no.
You and I have...
doug stanhope
You would never...
joe rogan
We've got a comedy friendship, you know?
doug stanhope
No, and you're just comedy life.
When you said, hey, come to the UFC. Oh, I don't like that, man.
joe rogan
There's a lot of dudes that integrate these girls that they're dating into their fucking comedy life and they bring them everywhere.
doug stanhope
And they change their personality.
Yeah.
Which I've seen since then.
joe rogan
It gets weird, man.
It gets weird, you know?
I've seen it.
I mean, it's nothing wrong.
I mean, you can take your check anyway.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But I don't think you should always do things together.
I think there's nothing wrong with having completely separate lives.
doug stanhope
Bingo is like my best fucking friend in the world.
unidentified
It works.
joe rogan
It works for you guys.
It's like whatever works, you know?
For what me has always worked is you've got to separate church and state.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, that's always been...
So, yeah, there's always been kind of a border.
joe rogan
No, it's not even a border, dude.
doug stanhope
No, it's just something...
No, it's nothing you introduced into any relationship.
joe rogan
You're just so alien from, like, my show.
doug stanhope
I'm high as shit, if that's what you mean.
Yeah, I'm thinking on...
Yeah, I'm getting back.
unidentified
I'm coming back.
I'm good.
joe rogan
You're making a comeback?
You feeling it?
Do you want an energy drink to push you over the top?
doug stanhope
No, no, I'm good.
I have a cocktail.
I just...
joe rogan
You're centering?
doug stanhope
Yeah, my fucking head has been in so many places.
When you're just like, oh, what's a microphone?
It was just a big rush.
All that dumb fucking high shit is coming.
All right, I understand what a microphone is, and I'm not really baffled anymore by the fact that we can talk to a million people.
It seems like we're all in the same room.
brian redban
I think it's amazing how well you've actually held it together.
I could never, ever podcast shrooming.
joe rogan
You did an amazing job.
This Occupy Wall Street thing, this is why I pulled this article up because I knew we were going to talk about this.
This is the National Defense Authorization Act.
This is what I was talking about earlier, where they're literally going to define the U.S. homeland as a battlefield and make U.S. citizens subject to military apprehension and detainment for life without access to a trial or attorney.
This is amazing.
I mean, there's something that they've crafted.
doug stanhope
This is another high thing, but you're acting like law matters.
joe rogan
No, I'm not, but I'm acting like this is the reaction.
doug stanhope
They do that shit.
Cops beat you every fucking day.
But it's against the Constitution!
No one cares.
That's such a...
joe rogan
But they do care.
I mean, people are really freaking out about this.
doug stanhope
Yeah, if you're one guy that occasionally brings something to a Supreme Court every four years and they go, you were right, you were fucked, and then he gets nothing out of the battle.
But in your general day...
Sorry.
joe rogan
Well, what this is is trying to turn the U.S. into a place where they can have the military patrol things.
So the military would control things like Occupy Wall Street.
They're preparing for civil unrest, and they're preparing to do it legally.
What they're preparing to do is to make the United States a battleground so that when you are in a situation like Occupy Wall Street, you're literally like an enemy combatant.
doug stanhope
But they've been doing that for fucking 10 years.
joe rogan
But they're putting it on paper.
I mean, that's what's really crazy.
And they're so blatant about it that they're literally putting this on paper.
You know, they're trying to pass this through, and people are fucking freaking out about it, man.
doug stanhope
Well, that's good.
joe rogan
Yeah, finally.
But it's still amazing that this is something that they're so fucking stupid.
These people live in a different age.
They live in an age of the media reporting things.
And when these things get out on the internet and CNN's not covering it and Washington Times isn't covering it, but you can get it on your fucking computer and go, what is this shit?
Is this real?
And then you make some phone calls and you find out it is and everybody freaks the fuck out.
doug stanhope
But does it make your life miserable?
joe rogan
It scares me.
They shouldn't be allowed to do that.
They shouldn't be allowed to bring...
Look, there's a reason why people are freaking out, and these people need to be addressed.
You need to figure out how to deal with that.
And the way to deal with it isn't a fucking tank.
This isn't Tiananmen Square.
It's supposed to be the United States.
And at the end of the day...
doug stanhope
But it won't change without drastic...
joe rogan
Why is that?
Isn't the internet drastic?
The internet is the most drastic fucking thing to ever be introduced to a society ever.
doug stanhope
People have to pay their fucking mortgage.
You see people that are rolling their own cigarettes.
They don't give a fuck about some law passing.
They're trying to fucking feed fat kids.
Is that it?
So when everyone's down, that's how revolutions, there's no fucking revolution of the middle class.
unidentified
Oh, that's when the middle class rose up.
joe rogan
I think you're right in a certain sense.
It has to.
The cynical viewpoint is pragmatic.
I mean, it's normal.
It's based on history.
You're absolutely right.
But it's not based on the best that people are capable of.
The best people are capable of, they're capable of much more than that.
It's just that we can't pull it off on a mass scale.
We're just not good at it.
But we're capable of it.
We're more than capable of pretty fucking awesome behavior on an individual basis.
And the key is trying to figure out how that can be relayed to the entire population as an ethic.
And the only way that's going to ever work is if people feel like the system that they operate under is fair.
And right now they clearly don't.
Right now, the people feel like they look at all the money that's going to these CEOs that have been fucking...
doug stanhope
Nobody looks at that.
joe rogan
They do.
unidentified
They do.
joe rogan
They look at the numbers.
doug stanhope
They can't help it.
That's your fan base.
Don't ever confuse your fan base with what lives in the fucking world in the dark houses on the fucking Route 66. You're right.
joe rogan
You're right.
For the most part, you're right.
They don't ever think about There's plenty of people that do, though.
The people that are informed should be the ones you're paying attention to, right?
doug stanhope
Water cooler talk where they fucking mimic bumper stickers.
Yes.
But they have no idea what a fucking CEO is or how it affects their...
joe rogan
You're absolutely right.
doug stanhope
They just want to fucking get Velveeta cheese for their fucking kid.
And if it's a dollar off, they're happy.
And they're not even poor.
unidentified
You're right.
joe rogan
The real question, though, is why are they like that?
And the question is, are they like that because of nature or nurture?
Are they like that because they grew up in this fucked up society where, you know, in the 50s and 60s or whatever the fuck time they were developing, there was no information.
Everybody was horseshit.
doug stanhope
But you act like information is something that people want.
joe rogan
Whether you want it or not, there's enough people that want it that are moving things.
doug stanhope
Yeah, but we live in a very insular.
We think you have fucking three million listeners, but they just want to hear fistfuck jokes.
That's one thing.
Facebook has made me realize how many times people laugh for the wrong reasons because they comment about it.
joe rogan
Do you lose all respect for a dude when you see a legit LOL? It's so easy to lose respect for someone.
I try not to.
I try to be open-minded.
brian redban
That's what I was talking about earlier, though.
I do LOLs.
I do happy faces.
I just don't care.
I think it's funny as a joke.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, when you do LOLs to me, I actually do think it's funny because I know it's not a real LOL. It's like you're making fun of the fact that you're saying LOL. You're being a silly face.
doug stanhope
It's a joke that's three times gone, right?
Where, hey, in the sitcom day that you were around for and...
Hey, let me be the wacky neighbor.
That's what your friends would say.
And then they said it too much.
And you're like, alright, that's such a cliche.
Let me be your wacky neighbor.
That now it's a cliche of when it was a cliche.
So it's funny again.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
doug stanhope
Let me be your wacky neighbor on your podcast.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
doug stanhope
Yeah, it's like refried beans.
joe rogan
LOL? LOL. Stop!
doug stanhope
Why do I have to see my goddamn ugly head everywhere I look?
joe rogan
It's just what it looks like, bro.
Gotta just look at me.
Focus on the magic.
brian redban
You look very good.
You look very healthy.
doug stanhope
You keep going into De Niro, though.
brian redban
Doug, you actually look really healthy this time.
You look really good.
doug stanhope
It's out in the sun.
My house was on the fucking Women's Group Bisbee Home Tour.
joe rogan
The Women's Group Bisbee Home Tour?
What is that?
unidentified
I think it was Nick Thune.
doug stanhope
I'm sorry.
I can't call you back right now, but...
I called someone with an excuse where I go, I'm ashamed to admit it has something to do with the Bisbee Women's Club.
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
So they would do a tour of the homes in the area?
doug stanhope
They won't do it.
Every year they do a Bisbee home tour because there's a lot of weird houses there.
So after 29 years in a town of 6,000, they were out of ideas, so they came to us because we paint our rocks weird.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Yeah, what do you do?
joe rogan
You paint your rocks weird?
doug stanhope
I'll try it again.
joe rogan
All right, hit it.
brian redban
Doug, have you done any pranks lately?
joe rogan
5. 540. Pranks.
You know what?
It was the awesome, the awestomest thing.
unidentified
The most awestomest thing.
joe rogan
You just fucking wore off on me, dude.
I got infected by Brian Redman.
Was when you would do those pedophile baitings.
Did you put those out in a book?
doug stanhope
Yeah, I put them out in a book, but the title of the book is Fun with Pedophiles.
I never even considered, because, you know, I'm the fucking last guy to even think about technology.
Sorry, just...
This is another reason I don't smoke pot.
unidentified
You say this while you have a cigarette in your hand.
doug stanhope
I never thought that people wouldn't want to punch pedophiles into a search engine.
I don't know a search engine.
joe rogan
Yeah, you don't want that.
doug stanhope
And that's the name of the book.
joe rogan
Can't you re-release it?
doug stanhope
I could.
joe rogan
Just call it baiting.
doug stanhope
Yeah, the best of baiting is the subtitle.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but fun with pedophiles, that is a problem.
doug stanhope
Yeah, this is fucking...
joe rogan
You gotta be real careful about that these days.
That probably brings up some...
There's like some crazy search engine database with the FBI, right?
Yeah.
Fun with pedophiles.
unidentified
There it is.
brian redban
I love the cover, by the way.
I love the cover.
It's so nice.
joe rogan
Flowers and shit.
doug stanhope
Be ballsy.
Occupy fun with pedophiles.
brian redban
Eight positive reviews, too.
Look at that.
joe rogan
Yeah, so folks, go get that book because it is fucking hilarious because I remember when a lot of them were online.
doug stanhope
That's the only stuff I've ever done that I go back and I laugh my balls off at my own stuff.
I hate my comedy.
I can't listen to an old album, a new album.
Fun with pedophiles.
I read and I fucking laugh like someone else wrote it.
joe rogan
Well, that was those baiting days.
Is that site still up?
brian redban
Betting.org?
doug stanhope
Yeah, it's archived.
It's not active, but you can read all their shit.
joe rogan
So good stuff.
So much good stuff.
doug stanhope
Wicked funny.
There's a guy called don'tevenreply.com that fucks with Craigslist people, but he only updates it like every fucking three months.
You come back from Europe and you're like, oh, don't even reply.
Do you have a...
Because he's so good.
It's wicked funny.
unidentified
Wow.
doug stanhope
So, yeah, you guys are bored.
Go to don'tevenreply.com and say do some more shit.
He's out of Philly, I think.
joe rogan
Do you remember when the Jerky Boys weren't famous?
Remember when it was like a tape that would go around?
doug stanhope
Yeah, underground tapes.
Like, they're making a documentary out of, what did you...
Shut up, little man!
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
Red bar.
Is that what it is?
The red bar?
doug stanhope
Red bar was, that's what Moe Sislak is based on in The Simpsons, is the tube bar.
joe rogan
Tube bar tapes.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
doug stanhope
And they based Moe Sislak on the tube bar tapes.
Alcoholic, that was a famous tube bar.
joe rogan
Does this bar?
doug stanhope
And he goes, Al!
Alcoholic!
And then he'd finally catch on and he'd go, you motherfucker, cocksucker, I'll fucking kill you, I'll find your mother, I'll fucking kill her.
Yeah, the tube bar tapes.
joe rogan
Yeah, that guy was hilarious.
That's what I was thinking of.
doug stanhope
Oh, Winnebago Man is a documentary based on those days, which is fantastic.
joe rogan
Winnebago Man is based on this guy who was a Winnebago salesman who would do these videos where he was doing a commercial, and then he would fuck up the take, and they played all the outtakes.
When he would fuck up, he'd start squaring, you motherfucker!
You motherless cunt!
He would just get crazy.
doug stanhope
It was awesome.
It's such a feel-good story at the end.
You don't expect it to go well.
It was actually a documentary where at the end you're like, oh, I fucking feel really good about myself.
It was, because the guy was a fucking horrible...
unidentified
Functional bathroom.
Privacy.
I don't even know what the fuck I'm reading.
I wonder what the fuck the real dialogue is.
What the fuck is this thing?
All of the windshield, for fuck's sake.
Oh fuck.
What the fuck did I say?
That didn't sound for shit, did it?
Trying to give these guys everything they can get to me.
joe rogan
Sounds like a perfectionist.
He's just getting mad at himself.
unidentified
We suppose we open...
Gotta do it again, right now.
doug stanhope
I feel like those guys that were like, oh, we knew this when they were a garage band!
joe rogan
Looks like he's just trying to do a good time and he keeps fucking up.
unidentified
Tony, do me a favor, will you please?
Will you?
Will you do me a kindness?
Please.
Yeah.
I think I'm gonna be walking in and out if you're gonna fuck up and I gotta come back.
I don't make any difference to me at this juncture.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, Tony.
Don't slam the fucking door!
No more!
doug stanhope
So this guy got famous because of this video that went around back in the day when people just passed off tapes, dude.
Big, giant VHS tapes.
You gotta check this out.
joe rogan
I remember those very well.
doug stanhope
There's a girl pooping on a dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, I had a friend from Austin who used to give me these fucking mixtapes that he would make.
I just got rid of them recently because I had already seen the images a hundred times, but his videos would be all the weirdest shit that he ever found, and he would splice them together.
It was like an art form for him.
brian redban
I used to do that all the time.
If you Google search red band java lamps, I have a few of them like that.
It was right when the internet videos were becoming big, like the crazy shit, like a woman found inside of an alligator type shit.
And it was just spliced, and I put it with trippy music.
joe rogan
Wow.
Isn't it wild that that used to be?
The internet was just like a human internet.
You'd have to hand someone the videotape.
That's how it goes.
It could transfer.
That idea as a virus or as an organism could transfer all over the place from person to person and even be duplicated even though it gets really fucking grainy when it gets third and fourth generation.
But that's what you had to do.
That's how you got things out.
You saw Barnyard Betty, right?
Did you ever see Barnyard Betty when you were a kid?
doug stanhope
No.
joe rogan
No?
unidentified
Really?
doug stanhope
I might have seen it, but I don't know.
It wasn't titled.
Captain Rowdy was the guy that turned me...
Like, when I was a young comic, there was a guy named Captain Rowdy.
joe rogan
I remember that guy's name.
doug stanhope
Yeah, he was a...
joe rogan
Did he wear, like, leather jackets and shit on stage?
doug stanhope
Leather chaps and mohawk.
joe rogan
There's a lot of dudes like that who had, like, a fucking whole thing.
doug stanhope
And he had a huge following in the Southwest.
Not including California.
But Lubbock, Texas.
He'd take me on the road.
joe rogan
What does he like?
doug stanhope
He would be in my death pool if he had a Wikipedia page.
joe rogan
He doesn't have a Wikipedia page?
doug stanhope
He's going to die.
He calls me every couple months.
He's fucked.
It's a long story.
I want to do a documentary about all the 80s comics that thought they had it made.
unidentified
LAUGHTER We were making five grand a week.
doug stanhope
You didn't even have to have jokes.
But they banked their light, and you know some of the relics of that.
Do you ever see the documentary Beyond the Mat?
joe rogan
Beyond the Mat.
doug stanhope
What is it about?
It's about wrestling.
And it has, like, Jake the Snake Roberts, and he's all fucking playing in some armory in Kearney, Nebraska, and smoking crack.
And then old guys that are still trying to do it, and their knees are falling apart, but they're still in it.
And then guys trying out for it.
So it's a whole balance of this whole wrestling scene, like new guy, old guy, how it fucks.
I would love to do a documentary like that about comedy.
The guys that thought they fucking had a ride.
joe rogan
There's a bunch of guys that...
doug stanhope
Vic Dunlop was like a guy that when I thought of this idea, Captain Rowdy is such a fucking magnificent story.
joe rogan
But do you think those guys, I mean, some of them are still working, right?
So they're just out there just hustling.
doug stanhope
But there's guys that made it too.
Like the guys, to get a perspective of the guy that is fucking dying and lost his legs to diabetes and just did coke down to where he's playing fucking Biloxi, Mississippi.
Mr. Saturday Night, you know, those guys.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
doug stanhope
It would just be a beautiful fucking documentary to watch.
joe rogan
It could be interesting.
They're just guys who just rode it till the wheels fell off.
doug stanhope
And there's guys that are still doing triple gigs in their 60s, but they're happy with it.
Some are happy, yeah.
joe rogan
When I was living in Boston, there was a lot of guys who were older guys.
doug stanhope
People won't accept when people are happy with things that they've built some kind of fake value system on.
Well, you're not there, so you can't be happy.
No, I'm actually fucking wicked happy living in a small town.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't move there to fucking make it big, stupid.
brian redban
Doug, do you remember when we first met, I came to- I forgot Brian's here and I'm like, who's talking?
I came to Ohio University and it was like I recorded you and it was- That's still on YouTube.
Yeah.
doug stanhope
It was a- I walked like 600 people.
They fucking, they billed me as, I still, and it was that tour, if not that night, is the last time I can remember doing a show sober.
And I remember, like, Ed Helms was on the fucking bill.
brian redban
Kirsten Flanagan.
doug stanhope
Finnegan, yeah.
brian redban
Finnegan, Finnegan, yeah.
doug stanhope
Somehow, I fucking...
joe rogan
That was the last time you did a show sober?
doug stanhope
Last I can remember.
brian redban
It was parents...
doug stanhope
I don't like doing shows sober.
I don't find myself amusing fucking sober.
brian redban
It was parents' teacher weekend, though.
They billed it as, like, a family-friendly show.
doug stanhope
Yeah, they put it...
It was parents' weekend.
brian redban
Parents' weekend.
doug stanhope
Family-friendly...
It's listed in the program.
And there's not a lot of fucking on-campus options for entertainment.
It's not a town.
It's a fucking campus with your parents.
And under fucking fun for all the family is the Comedy Central Presents tour with Doug and everyone else that they found fine.
brian redban
Yeah.
doug stanhope
And I'm like, your kid's going to get fucked here.
brian redban
Yeah.
People in the video, people are yelling like, You get off stage!
doug stanhope
If you like this, you're like some angry dad right beside where he's filming.
Are you finding this?
I know it's on YouTube.
unidentified
How did you get out of here?
brian redban
We're watching it right now, right here.
doug stanhope
This is a whole set?
brian redban
No, it's just pieces of your set, and then it goes to the part where the guys start yelling.
People are like, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
Dude, this audio is way too bad.
brian redban
Then the guy starts screaming out, though.
You can hear that.
unidentified
Yeah, it's just like...
Yo.
brian redban
He's talking about buttfucking.
doug stanhope
Fred Norris would never have these kind of delays.
Just saying.
joe rogan
Yeah, he wouldn't.
doug stanhope
Nope.
joe rogan
But that's the charm.
Part of the charm is the fact that there's fucking glitches in the Matrix.
brian redban
Here it comes right here.
joe rogan
I barely can understand what you're saying, unfortunately.
doug stanhope
I know.
I wish he could...
If he could cue it up, then the guy...
Here we go.
He's full of shit, and anyone crazy enough to listen to that motherfucker is full of shit.
That's what he's...
brian redban
But the whole time there's just people standing up and just like filing out because this was like the first...
I think this was like the first weekend with like all the new students, you know, where they...
doug stanhope
It was a third of the crowd in a theater.
brian redban
Yeah.
It was so weird.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's an uncomfortable feeling.
doug stanhope
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
People always get angry.
doug stanhope
But I miss uncomfortable feelings.
joe rogan
Do you?
brian redban
Do you?
doug stanhope
Yeah, we did those fucking music festivals knowing I was going to get fucking trashed.
joe rogan
What music festivals?
doug stanhope
Leeds and Reading.
joe rogan
When did you do these?
Is it recent?
doug stanhope
Two, three years ago.
joe rogan
Oh, what happened?
doug stanhope
There's no way I'm going to fucking...
These are people that bought tickets for three days.
They didn't buy tickets to you or comedy.
There's a tent.
And I'm not a guy that's...
I'm not fucking Hedberg where I go, here's another joke.
I'm a guy that I'm like this.
I'm a fucking two hour podcast of me stuttering and looking for a cigarette.
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
And then yelling about something when it strikes me.
It's not going to work at a music festival.
They were fucking just audibly booing me just because I'm boring to them.
joe rogan
Well, you've so got your own crowd now, too.
I know, but it's...
They know what you're doing, and they want to see it, and a person who doesn't know you, it's like you don't even want to try to get them in there.
Like, you're not designed to work...
You know, like, when you're coming up, your act is sort of designed to work on as many people as possible?
You try to sort of maximize it.
Brian, what is that?
doug stanhope
Now I'm defining them.
Actually, I'm turning down fans at this point.
joe rogan
But then, yeah...
doug stanhope
It's a waiting list.
It's like Lambeau Field.
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
I can only have this many fans.
Sorry.
Stand on the porch like Fight Club for three days.
joe rogan
You must get a lot of weird motherfuckers to come visit you.
doug stanhope
You're so De Niro-ing all the fucking time.
joe rogan
I don't know what's going on.
doug stanhope
I'm still fucking high as shit.
joe rogan
Indeed.
brian redban
When I first moved to LA, Doug was the first person that I was friends with, I think.
Well, you, obviously, Joe, but Doug would call me up and just be like, Hey, man, I'm bored.
You want to go make some videos?
doug stanhope
We'd talk shit about you.
The only stuff you can say behind your back is you're very angry.
brian redban
What?
I don't talk shit.
doug stanhope
No.
No, I'm saying it's always fun to talk shit behind Joe's back.
brian redban
Oh.
Well, we used to make these videos.
doug stanhope
So I'm saying I probably talked a lot of shit about Joe to you.
brian redban
Oh.
Well, we used to make these videos because he got mad at Verizon DSL because he had DSL at the time.
And so we were like, let's go to the thrift store.
So we'd go to the thrift store and we'd buy like terrorist outfits.
Oh, I remember that.
We made these videos.
doug stanhope
The Verizon Wireless.
brian redban
And I sent them to all the Verizon corporate office numbers.
doug stanhope
It was like two days after that guy had been beheaded.
joe rogan
Brutal, brutal beheaded.
doug stanhope
I was even afraid to put these up.
I remember being like, all right, you could get too much shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, dude, this is dangerous.
You got Arab writing.
What does that writing mean?
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, but this was the day after everyone was like...
joe rogan
Oh, it's not really Arabic?
unidentified
Praise be, daughter!
This message is for the infidels at Verizon DSL. This is embarrassing.
You told me my service would be turned on in three days.
doug stanhope
It has been a week and a half.
brian redban
And by the way, that's Doug on both sides.
doug stanhope
I call your Billy people.
Your Billy people send me to your technical people.
joe rogan
He's dressed like a ninja.
unidentified
And then they say, He's got a burka on for some reason.
joe rogan
You got a burka on, you're a man.
doug stanhope
That was thrift store Muslim, baby.
Back before the Muslims wore tags off their burkas.
unidentified
The time for words is over.
joey diaz
I will wait on hold no more.
doug stanhope
Hey, why don't we just play the fucking man show?
joe rogan
Yeah, what are you doing, Brian?
Hit him in the head with a pan.
brian redban
Go ahead.
The second video is where he hits me in the head.
joe rogan
Okay, let's not.
Let's stop.
Let's stop right here.
Let's stop the whole podcast.
I think we've done enough.
This podcast has been like fucking, what has it been, like two and a half hours long?
brian redban
Two hours, 20 minutes.
doug stanhope
Oh, shit.
So at some point, you're right.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
At some point, we're right.
doug stanhope
Well, the first 20 minutes, I'm like, we've been here for like four hours.
joe rogan
No, no.
It's only six o'clock.
We're still good.
doug stanhope
We're still good for the show.
unidentified
Yeah.
doug stanhope
I only have cocktails since the time.
joe rogan
You good?
You want to keep going?
doug stanhope
I'll be good for the show.
joe rogan
You want to keep going?
Another like 15, 20 minutes?
doug stanhope
Oh, I'll fucking talk.
As long as people will listen.
joe rogan
It's not like we're putting in work on the fucking job.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
You want to dig another 20 minutes and then call it a night?
doug stanhope
Yeah, you can turn it off at whatever point.
joe rogan
Yes, that's a good piece of advice.
brian redban
You don't want to see me get hit in the head with a fucking...
joe rogan
No, I'm good, dude.
doug stanhope
It goes on too long.
It's not like the fucking Brea Improv where they're paying for parking.
You're not fucking listening to a podcast.
You're taking a shit right now.
joe rogan
It goes a little too long.
joey diaz
Yeah.
doug stanhope
If it goes too long, just make it fucking three parts.
You're the director, asshole.
brian redban
It was one minute long.
doug stanhope
Three part by hitting the pause button.
brian redban
It was one minute long.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
brian redban
The whole video was one minute long.
joe rogan
You quit the cigarettes for a little bit, right?
doug stanhope
Yeah, for a year.
Got fat, started smoking again, stayed fat.
Now I cough.
While I'm fat.
joe rogan
So you did it as sort of a dietary measure?
doug stanhope
No, no.
I quit for a year, like 2008. And then went to Costa Rica.
And bucked 25 a pack at the bar.
And you can smoke everywhere.
You can smoke at bars.
joe rogan
And you just figured, fuck it, just for this vacation.
doug stanhope
Been going out, yeah.
Just for this week.
So I've been trying to quit since 2008. Oh, wow.
joe rogan
That sucks.
That must feel weird, man.
That's gotta be a very weird thing, connected to something.
And it's not easy to escape, right?
brian redban
The worst part is every time he smokes, I want to light one up immediately.
I just see it, and I'm like, alright, I gotta light one up.
joe rogan
I told you I quit coffee recently, but it's only been like eight days.
I can't even say I quit coffee.
I'm just seeing what it's like to just not drink coffee for a long time.
doug stanhope
This is the third time this has happened.
But when you said fried clams in a conversation before, I just fixated on fried clams and I made my face make the motions like I'm listening, but I was thinking, and then you said something about fucking burritos.
joe rogan
You're hungry.
doug stanhope
No, it's just the third time when you say coffee, I'm like, fucking Bailey's coffee.
And then I'm looking around and I distract myself.
joe rogan
So what you're saying is that I got a good voice for advertising.
doug stanhope
Just every now and then you mention a fucking thing.
I'm just saying, when I look like I'm being fake, I am.
joe rogan
Because you're thinking about whatever delicious item.
doug stanhope
I'm thinking like, why is Robert De Niro saying I should have a Bailey's coffee?
unidentified
Oh, Douglas.
brian redban
I never think Robert De Niro with you, Joe.
I think more of the Julio Galatius guy or whatever that guy is.
joe rogan
For all the girls I've loved before.
doug stanhope
I have fucking high eyes where this is like...
joe rogan
I'm glad you came along.
unidentified
I dedicate this song to all the girls I've loved before.
brian redban
You need a mole.
doug stanhope
At one point, I thought I was getting my elbow in the pool because the ashtray is right here.
And at one point, I'm like, and I pulled away like I was going to get my elbow.
joe rogan
Did you smoke all those cigarettes during the time we do this podcast?
How many is that?
Was that like ten?
doug stanhope
He gave me a whole pack.
joe rogan
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Nine cigarettes.
You're crazy.
doug stanhope
It seems like so many more.
joe rogan
Goddamn chain smoker.
David Tell's two packs a day.
brian redban
Yeah, David Tell's worse, times two.
doug stanhope
But he goes to the doctor, so he knows he has emphysema.
I don't know nothing.
I don't know anything.
joe rogan
How many you swung in a day?
doug stanhope
Not as many.
joe rogan
A pack?
doug stanhope
Yeah, a pack, probably.
joe rogan
There's nothing that replaces that, huh?
You ever try cigars?
doug stanhope
I could quit.
I just fucking have to take time.
I've quit before.
joe rogan
Cigars would make you a classy douchebag.
doug stanhope
Unless you're Ron White.
Like, Ron White has this whole circular exemption from everything.
joe rogan
I completely agree.
Every picture, he has a drink in his hands.
doug stanhope
Ralphie May is hid under a cloud of that.
You don't know why Ralphie May got the amnesty, but Ron White earned it, and he has this whole...
joe rogan
Ralphie May is a lovable guy.
doug stanhope
Right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But Ron White with his cigar.
doug stanhope
Ron White has earned the whole...
joe rogan
Yep, 100%.
doug stanhope
Did I tell you what...
He's buying jokes from...
He has a lot of writers.
And Andy, he has bought a couple of Andy Andrus bits.
joe rogan
Really?
doug stanhope
And when I saw him in Austin, I go, yeah, you're buying...
Like, my buddy, you get a couple of his bits.
And he said, without any shame whatsoever, Ron White says, yeah, we buy a lot of really funny bits.
From really funny comics.
And then what we do is take the teeth out of them so they're not funny anymore.
And then my audience applauds.
He's just like, yeah, I'm fucking buying material.
I'm fucking selling fucking snake oil to fucking suckers because I know this ain't going to last.
joe rogan
So he waters his act down?
Is that what he's doing?
He's just backing off?
doug stanhope
He plays to that audience.
He'll tow his fucking Rolls Royce off the back of his tour bus.
He's like...
A vanilla ice in, like, jokingly.
He's, like, flashing all this because he knows it's pointless.
joe rogan
Oh, so you mean, like, vanilla ice, like, flashy, like, you know, like, drives, rolls, rolls.
doug stanhope
Like, rappers.
Like, I'm sorry, this is the second time in fucking three days where I try to find a fucking rapper.
joe rogan
Rapper.
Rap reference.
And I came up with LL Cool J. Let's go with Birdman because he's known for his love of automobiles and he's very wealthy.
How about Birdman?
doug stanhope
Can we go with Birdman?
joe rogan
Okay.
doug stanhope
It's a rap.
You fucking listen to that fucking garbage.
joe rogan
Well, what I was listening to was...
doug stanhope
That's why reality TV works because everyone wants to think they could do it too.
And that's why rap music works because, yeah, you could do it too.
joe rogan
I like some rappers, man.
I like Nas.
Do you know who Nas is?
doug stanhope
No.
joe rogan
Really like that guy.
doug stanhope
I love old Busy Smalls.
I think he was in a playoff.
joe rogan
I can listen to Notorious B.I.G. all day.
I love that old shit.
unidentified
That old boy.
joe rogan
I love his rap style.
I think this is rhythmic.
It's fun.
It's fun for me.
Yeah.
But you don't like music.
I understand.
I understand.
But you don't like music.
doug stanhope
But I can look at fucking Zeppelin on the wall and go, I'm fascinated that someone could learn to do that.
Not someone sat on a fucking bus with a notebook.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I don't know.
doug stanhope
Bitching about their fucking shit and made it rhyme.
joe rogan
For almost everybody except Notorious B.I.G. He didn't just make shit rhyme.
He made shit rhyme with a flow and a rhythm to it that was fun.
It was fun to listen to.
That guy's an artist.
He was a fucking artist.
And what he did was very difficult to do.
It's very difficult to duplicate.
There's a bunch of guys that are rap artists.
doug stanhope
Listen, I am fucking preaching from the most uneducated...
I'm just saying things with confidence.
I know nothing about music.
It doesn't interest me.
I'm like the last guy, and that's why I always say I hate music, is because I'm such a comedy snob.
That I know if someone said, oh, who do you like, Jeff Dunham and Peanut?
And I immediately hate you because you said that.
Like, I have a bias against you, and I know that I'm that much of a pedestrian when it comes to music.
So if I go, yeah, I fucking love The Counting Crows.
Like, now I have to fucking...
There's no apology, which is an apology when you say, I'm not even apologizing for liking...
Matchbox 20. Like, whatever.
joe rogan
What is the...
I mean, for most people, music is sort of a source of pleasure.
It's fun to listen to.
It's motivating.
What is it about it that you think interferes with the noise in your head?
doug stanhope
I always...
I found it summed up succinctly in a book that I will now misquote and ruin.
But the fucking guy...
The drunkard guy.
He was a drunkard in England.
I always want to say Alistair, but it's not Alistair.
McAllister fucking...
I can't remember his name.
He summed up how pop music ruined the pub culture in England.
Because when they introduced the jukebox, that played over the conversation that you were there to have.
You go to the fucking bar to talk.
And now someone introduced music where either you want to listen to the music or you want to have the conversation.
And that's why I've always hated music.
It's something that I want to enjoy if I'm really high.
I have 400 songs from my life that I can remember that I like.
They're on an iPod.
If I need music, I go to it like people go to comedy clubs once a year.
joe rogan
I hear you.
brian redban
Did you used to like music?
doug stanhope
No, I've liked enough music.
It's a part-time thing to me.
Like most people, comedy is a part-time thing to us.
That's life.
Fucking listening and words and I fucking love music.
joe rogan
I get inspired by it.
I love when I'm working out.
I love listening to it.
I love listening to it when I'm driving.
I love listening to it sometimes when I'm just thinking about shit.
It encapsulates a mood for me.
I just appreciate the art.
I don't know how to do it.
I don't know anything about music.
I can't sing.
I don't know how to play a fucking single instrument.
So my interest of it is purely as just a fan.
doug stanhope
Believe me, I wish my fucking likes were more normal.
A lot of people want to be fucking weird and out there.
I wish people liked the fucking my iPod.
I wish I could play three songs on my iPod without someone saying, what the fuck is this that's the theme to Welcome Back Cotter?
That's why it's on my fucking iPod.
It makes me happy.
brian redban
My iPod's that, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, I've got some stupid shit on my iPod, too.
brian redban
The Greatest American Hero.
Bye!
doug stanhope
I'm walking on air.
joe rogan
Wow.
Imagine trying to put that show on today.
They'll be like, what the fuck is going on?
That dude with an afro.
That skinny dude with an afro is just beating everybody's ass.
brian redban
Actually, that would work.
That would work, actually.
joe rogan
Did he ever beat anybody up on that show?
brian redban
Of course he did.
joe rogan
Where'd he get his power from?
brian redban
Greatest American Hero.
doug stanhope
Where'd he get his power from?
brian redban
I don't remember.
I just remember him running into walls a lot.
doug stanhope
Fucking glory holes.
A skinny 80s fucking blonde guy in tights.
joe rogan
He was my first celebrity sighting when I moved to Los Angeles.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
At a glory hole?
joe rogan
No.
It was at a Starbucks.
Basically the same thing.
unidentified
I used to sell coke to him through a glory hole.
doug stanhope
Greatest American hero used to come in there every day.
unidentified
The greatest American hero, he used to suck my dick.
doug stanhope
Who are they going to believe?
Greatest American hero or Joey Diaz?
joe rogan
Come on, dog.
Who do you think you're dealing with?
That's just a fun dude.
And you hit another one, man.
You're just a chain-smoking motherfucker.
doug stanhope
I know.
In my fucking head, this is...
Nighttime radio.
joe rogan
It's cool that we can smoke in here.
I mean, I don't smoke, but I like the fact that you can smoke in here.
There's not a radio station in the world where you can actually smoke in a studio.
That's done, man.
Those are businesses, man.
Those are not places of art.
Every time you go, do you have friends that do radio like Dale Dudley?
doug stanhope
I did Tucson radio.
I've lived in Arizona for six and a half years, never done Tucson radio somehow.
They're like...
Tucson's against entertainment in some way.
They're the shittiest fucking comedy club in the world that still exists since 1980. How far is Tucson from you?
90 minutes is where I fly out of.
But it's 90 minutes with no fucking traffic lights.
It's just desert.
joe rogan
Right.
doug stanhope
And a border check.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
doug stanhope
Border Patrol has a 50 mile radius.
joe rogan
How did this fucking town...
You're like only a couple miles from Mexico.
How'd this town evolve?
Because it's like a little...
But it's sort of an art town.
doug stanhope
Yeah, well, the copper mine went bust in the 70s, so all the property values dropped.
And all the fucking hippies swarmed in.
joe rogan
Really?
doug stanhope
Yeah, they occupied Bisbee.
Because they were selling property.
There's no work.
joe rogan
How do they figure out how to get all together, though?
That always freaks me out.
Like, how do gay neighborhoods start?
How do people, like, everybody say, listen, there's fucking two of us.
We're living in this one building.
The building next door's got vacancy.
doug stanhope
Yeah, same way Burning Man started.
joe rogan
Right.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
Hey, this is cool.
brian redban
You stopped doing your yearly thing, didn't you?
doug stanhope
Yeah, because too many people showed up.
I didn't know.
We had a fucking Death Valley party that we'd do every year.
Just like all the people you meet on the road.
Every year in Atlanta.
And you know two people there.
They're fucking great.
But they're not your friends.
So the whole idea was to bring all those people into Death Valley with no fucking cell phone reception or TVs.
It was this little motel...
And we did that until I get to a point where seven years in, well, people that brought people last time brought people and these people.
So none of your friends are there and all their friends.
So it's like after a show and you're just like shaking.
joe rogan
And it could be cops.
doug stanhope
And the cops were around, yeah.
The fucking house would tilt us to when there was some plainclothes.
joe rogan
Yeah, I would imagine that you and your crowd would be a perfect target.
doug stanhope
There's like seven cops in Death Valley, so the one guy comes in a polo shirt and they're like, he's a cop.
We're the only ones that don't know.
We're tourists.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
You wear a polo shirt.
Sir, can I have permission to wear a shirt with no collar?
unidentified
Permission denied!
joe rogan
Officer, you don't have to.
You're a bad undercover officer if you need a t-shirt to convince a fucking perp.
Come on, boy.
Get out there.
Put them in pink underwear.
There's your boy, right?
Sheriff Arpaio?
He's the guy in Arizona.
He's an amazing guy.
doug stanhope
He's on my...
joe rogan
Death list?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
unidentified
Nice.
doug stanhope
I had to pick one comic, so I went with Ralphie Mae.
I knew I was going to be a fat black guy.
Went with Ralphie Mae.
He had a pulmonary...
Listen how close I've been on my death pool.
joe rogan
Ralphie Mae's not a black comedian anymore.
doug stanhope
Really?
Southern?
joe rogan
It's more and more Southern.
doug stanhope
Is he doing Fargo now?
joe rogan
He just switched it up a little bit.
Ralphie's just getting out of the hospital.
doug stanhope
Yeah, he had a pulmonary embolism, and there's part of me going, he's so many points on my death pool.
Oh, I'm doing good.
And I'm like, oh, it's my friend.
But if he lives or dies, it's not my control.
I had to pick one comic, and I had a...
Who did you just mention that was on my death pool?
Oh, Joe Arpaio.
That's my wish list.
So I had one pick that was a wish list, which was...
Nancy Grace, Nancy Grace, now Joe Arpaio.
joe rogan
All these weird border guys, man.
That's a weird way to live.
When you're living as the law enforcement in a place that's known to have people sneaking in from a third world country, that's where things get crafty.
Things get real tricky when you're dealing with that sort of a situation.
You got a bunch of people sneaking into your state all the time.
I mean, it's probably a reason why he's more fucked up than anybody else.
doug stanhope
But he's in Phoenix.
No, he's a fucking egomaniac.
joe rogan
Oh, he's nuts, for sure.
But I mean, that attitude is acceptable somehow or another, more down there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, right next to the chaos.
doug stanhope
But it's easy to make an us-and-them situation out of that.
joe rogan
Sure.
But people really want to stop that nonsense.
I mean, they want to stop Mexico from coming into Arizona.
And one of the reasons why Arizona is so, like, Republican and so, you know, so right-wing is because they're right next to fucking Mexico.
You know, I think that's the same way Texas is, you know, and the same way Southern California, San Diego is really conservative, too.
doug stanhope
You actually, on a much smaller level, they fucking hate Canadians at the border, too.
joe rogan
Do they really?
doug stanhope
Because they don't tip.
unidentified
Oh.
doug stanhope
It's one of the fucking...
Like, tipping is one of the most important things.
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
You know, I fucking work the UK all the time, and they're assholes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
doug stanhope
You fucking...
Can I get ketchup?
Like, normally this comes with ketchup where I'm from, and I don't want to put you out, but can you get...
And they're fucking cunts, because they...
joe rogan
Because they don't work for tips?
Yeah.
Working for tips is big.
It's a good system.
It's good.
And it's good to be real generous.
doug stanhope
Tommy Lee Jones.
You just started getting some Tommy Lee Jones with the new lighting.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
That's my new look?
Tommy Lee Jones.
Well, at least you're going with good people, you know?
unidentified
No, the horrible old Tommy Lee Jones.
joe rogan
Oh, the old Tommy Lee Jones.
That's sad.
You made me sad, bro.
You ended this podcast on a downer note.
doug stanhope
Are we done?
joe rogan
No, we're not done.
I gotta pee, so I'm trying to think of when to end this.
doug stanhope
Just go pee.
joe rogan
Who's on your show tonight?
doug stanhope
Christine Levine.
joe rogan
Christine Levine.
doug stanhope
Wicked funny.
unidentified
Yeah?
Cool.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
Should be the new Roseanne, but no one will notice.
joe rogan
Really?
Awesome.
Wicked funny.
Talk to Brian for a minute.
I'm going to pee, and then we'll wrap this bitch up.
doug stanhope
Let's talk behind his back.
brian redban
Let's do it like how we used to do it, right, Doug?
doug stanhope
He really doesn't like women, though.
I know he hates when you say you hate women.
brian redban
That's what it used to be, right?
Like, he was really concerned about, like, people were like, you're a woman hater, and it drove him crazy, like, when people said that to him or something like that.
Remember that?
doug stanhope
Yeah, yeah, no, he was, uh, I don't know if he still is like that, but, yeah.
brian redban
He's so mellow now.
doug stanhope
I've seen him fucking just dress down a chick for no reason.
She's some dumb chick, but that's what comics thrive on, stupid.
We're not you.
We need a dumb chick.
Stop yelling at her for being dumb.
She's here because she's dumb.
brian redban
My favorite part, though, earlier was when you called Joey Diaz on that change jar, and he was like, what's a change jar?
And I'm thinking, how do you not know what a change jar is?
doug stanhope
I swear it was Joey Diaz.
He fucking stole my change jar, because everyone would come in and out, but only Joey was denying that he was doing drugs.
So anytime someone's denying what they're known for, defensively, yeah.
brian redban
When's your next break?
doug stanhope
No one ever stole from you going, I'm coked out of my brain and then just stole your shit.
brian redban
Right.
doug stanhope
No, I'm trying to work it out.
I'm trying to work it out and I'll get a...
Just borrow your VCR. My girlfriend really is addicted to flash dance.
brian redban
I can't believe they remade that movie.
Now, are you taking a break soon?
Because I know you do stand-up for like six months that you're on the road or something like that and then you take breaks or...
doug stanhope
Yeah, I always say I'm quitting.
I don't know.
Who knows?
I have UK dates booked.
After that, I'm not booking shit.
brian redban
You got in trouble last time you were overseas, right?
Like, I remember seeing there was some, like you said, something...
doug stanhope
There's always something.
It's so easy to fucking stir up fake fucking...
The newspapers are so bored.
They have, like, 19 newspapers on an island.
Right.
brian redban
Didn't some guy get in trouble, though?
doug stanhope
Or, like, some DJ? Oh, a DJ. It was censored or something because he just mentioned a YouTube clip of mine...
That's ridiculous.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What happened?
doug stanhope
I was doing the BBC and some fucking poor bastard afternoon, like BBC snotty radio.
They treat their radio like fucking Winston Churchill still fucking talking on it.
And this guy is like, I did a perfectly straight interview.
Yeah, we're performing here for however long and blah, blah, blah.
And he goes, but you're very controversial.
And I go, yeah, there's none of that I can do.
So he just mentions, if you don't believe, it's not for everybody.
If you don't believe it, see his YouTube clip about Sarah Palin and you'll know not to.
So people actually went there.
It's just a dumb retard baby.
It's a really funny bit.
joe rogan
How's it go?
doug stanhope
I don't know.
It's fucking railing on Sarah Palin having a retard baby and how she didn't use it in the debates.
I don't know.
I went back because the fucking guy was almost fired from BBC from mentioning that YouTube clip.
He was being insensitive to fucking retards or whatever they call them over there.
joe rogan
Wasn't your bit something like she had...
What was it?
She had two sons and they were both retarded?
How did it go?
doug stanhope
Yeah.
One had Down syndrome and the other was elected to go to Iraq or something like that.
I never watched a fucking clip until it came up when he said it.
And I watched a clip and I go, fuck, that was a funny bit.
I used to put so much more effort into comedy.
brian redban
When you write, do you just think of ideas and remember them?
Or do you take notes at all?
Because you're constantly coming up with new shit.
doug stanhope
I am on my hand.
My fucking attention span and my memory is such shit now.
joe rogan
You write them on your hand?
doug stanhope
I'll write it on my hand until I get to a notebook.
Because I don't carry a fucking notebook.
joe rogan
If you have one of those droid phones, you can actually talk to it.
doug stanhope
I knew you were going to do this.
joe rogan
You can talk to it.
brian redban
And then your bits will be in Google's offices.
doug stanhope
I'm in first class.
brian redban
Skynet.
doug stanhope
I'm in first class and I pull out my old fucking dog-eared notebook to take notes and I go to the first class.
Does anyone have a pen?
I have a pen.
I wanted to work on my set on the way here.
No one had a pen.
Everyone had a fucking...
brian redban
I'll text you it, bro.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, I'll just type it in here.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's not a lot of drawing anymore.
I wonder what the fuck's going to happen to cursive.
Is that going to go?
doug stanhope
I could not write in cursive right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's going to go.
Writing itself, when I have to write anything, when I have to send something and fill out an actual piece of paper, I'm like, wow, this is an alien thing.
Making little marks.
I hope you recognize my marks.
doug stanhope
My fucking accountant, Harvey Altman, mentioned him fucking seven hours ago.
Yeah, can you just take that out of my account or something?
You're my accountant.
Why do I have to write a check?
He's one of the fucking guys I have to sit and write a check to, which is so foreign.
joe rogan
He doesn't want the ability to just take money out of your account.
He might go wacky.
brian redban
That's why you need bitcoins, bro.
joe rogan
You gotta be careful, bro.
Bitcoins, bro.
That's the internet currency, right?
doug stanhope
Well, that leads us to our next episode about Fear Factor 2. That's right.
Coming up on bankruptcy.
joe rogan
What do you think about this whole Bitcoin thing?
What is the concept of it?
It's a monetary form of currency.
It's on the internet, right?
And people agree to it.
How does it work?
What's it backed by?
unidentified
I have no idea.
brian redban
I don't care.
It's stupid.
unidentified
How far is Brad?
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's kind of interesting.
Not far.
Not even an hour.
It's interesting because...
Not even an hour?
Yeah, no.
Yeah, it's pretty close.
Because the bitcoins is like the first attempt I've ever heard of anybody coming up with some sort of currency.
Even if it's like really minor league.
Remember what Napster was like when it first came out?
That was pretty minor league.
And look what Napster became all these years later.
You're getting songs instantly on your phone.
That Shazam thing.
Where it's hooked up.
It tells you what the song is.
You play it.
You press Shazam.
There's music playing.
You press Shazam.
It records the song real quick for like 15 seconds.
Sends it somewhere.
It sends it back to you.
Tells you what the song is.
Then gives you an option to buy it!
It's all right there on your fucking phone.
I mean, that's insane.
I mean, there's never been anything even remotely like that before.
You know?
doug stanhope
Yeah, I can text.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
He's like Joey Diaz from two years ago.
doug stanhope
But I'm not angry about it.
Once you find yourself railing against what's new is when you're old.
That's when you're your fucking grandparents.
I don't need it.
If I have a need to do all that thing with a fucking cell phone, I don't...
I have no...
My life is really easy.
I've had a really good life, and I have no problems.
I don't need to fucking...
I live in a place I don't need to map quest anything.
It's over there.
I almost wish I wanted more.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
That's interesting.
So what do you get your kicks out of?
doug stanhope
That was kind of the whole point of the DMT trip, which is unexplainable with you.
It was about desire and desire.
It's almost an anti-Buddhist thing, but...
Yeah, I wish I wanted more.
Fucking Louis C.K. said, oh yeah, I think he's something I read about myself after the...
brian redban
Louis C.K. That was awesome, by the way, Doug.
That was really weird to watch because I know you, but it was awesome.
I thought you did amazing in it.
doug stanhope
All right.
brian redban
My favorite episode.
doug stanhope
I almost felt like I paused to shill for applause and they gave it to me.
No, fuck, now I don't remember my point.
joe rogan
You're Louis C.K.? We're talking about having joy, taking joy.
You wish you had more joy in what you do.
doug stanhope
Yeah, no.
I lost the point.
Completely.
joe rogan
What do you get your kick out of?
Do you get your kick out of performing?
Do you get your kick out of killing still?
Do you still enjoy a fun set?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
No?
doug stanhope
Wow.
No, I'm always relieved that I didn't have a shitty set at best.
joe rogan
Is this psychological?
doug stanhope
I don't know.
Everything's psychological.
joe rogan
Right, but I'm saying, is this something that's changed in life, just the way you view things?
doug stanhope
Yeah, but I can't pinpoint it, because I'm a logical person.
I don't have to go to a fucking guy to talk.
I try to find...
That's why I'm not listening to your boring fucking bar conversation, because in my head, yeah, I'm boiling something down to a point.
joe rogan
Right.
In your head, you're working in the background.
doug stanhope
I can't find where I became kind of miserable.
I know it was somewhere around the breakup with my wife, but not connected.
I was kind of in a manic phase anyway.
joe rogan
Well, it also could be the fact that you're drinking a lot of alcohol on a regular basis.
And that just really is going to depress you to a certain extent.
doug stanhope
It's not eliminated from the fucking list of suspects.
joe rogan
I'm really kind of tweaking about this coffee thing.
It's very shocking to me how much different I feel from not doing coffee for eight days.
You know, I really didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal.
But the big deal is that I'm not tired anymore.
I used to get tired in the day.
Like somewhere in the day, I'd get tired.
You know, late afternoon or something, and then I'd just have to...
Force myself to go to the gym so I'd have another cup of coffee and then I'd fire up and I'd go work out.
But I was tired when I got there.
I'm not tired anymore.
Like, the whole day, it's like I'm even.
And I was like, oh, this is what you're supposed to be like.
You're supposed to be even.
You're not supposed to be just fucking spiking every, you know, fucking hour and a half with some dark liquid that fires up your fucking adrenal glands.
Like, what is that?
doug stanhope
Bray, I'm about to phone it in!
joe rogan
Come on, baby!
You're not phoning it in.
brian redban
Doug, I love...
joe rogan
I'm gonna get you on fucking kale shakes and squats.
doug stanhope
There's no phoning it in at this point.
brian redban
I love bingo to death, but do you think maybe it's something to do with relationship-wise?
Because you say you don't have sex anymore.
I mean, do you need to date a porn star?
joe rogan
What is this, the Dr. Drew show?
What the fuck's going on here?
What's this, love line here, Brian?
doug stanhope
This has been since I've been a fucking adult in any relationship.
The more you like them as a person, the less I want to fuck them.
brian redban
Yeah, but do you think that's maybe your overall full entire?
joe rogan
I like how Joey Diaz said it.
I'm slinging good dick.
I'm slinging good dick.
I don't know, man.
I think you might be hanging out.
doug stanhope
If you say it with confidence, it doesn't mean you're selling it.
joe rogan
Maybe you're hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Maybe you're not hanging out with a positive crowd.
brian redban
You need to move to L.A. You might not have to move back here.
You need to start a podcast here.
doug stanhope
I miss comics so fucking bad.
joe rogan
Come back.
Come hang with us.
brian redban
You can live here.
You can live here.
joe rogan
We'd be here all the time.
Listen, all you have to do is come back here and we could do this.
We could fuck around like this all the time.
And we do shows that 85 foot...
No, you don't.
You don't have to live here.
You can live in fucking Crestline, man.
You can live in the goddamn mountains.
brian redban
You can live in Pasadena.
joe rogan
There's a town, Crestline, in the mountains.
Lake Arrowhead, up in the mountains.
You don't have to live here.
You could live.
There's a lot of spots outside.
doug stanhope
I like small town.
joe rogan
You can find small towns in California.
doug stanhope
I like knowing everyone's name at Safeway.
joe rogan
I hear you.
You love it, then that's good.
But you could also have dual residency.
brian redban
You shouldn't go that small.
joe rogan
You can go dual residency, bro.
Do you have a dog?
doug stanhope
Two.
joe rogan
Bring him.
Fuck it.
Dual residency.
doug stanhope
No, that's wrong to a dog.
Speaking of dogs, the fucking Tucson, please help me fucking sell its Rialto.
joe rogan
When is it?
doug stanhope
The Rialto, December 10th.
joe rogan
December 10th, ladies and gentlemen.
Get on it.
Where can they buy these tickets?
doug stanhope
It's Walsh, Brody Stevens.
joe rogan
Brendan Walsh, Brody Stevens.
That's a fucking one-two punch.
unidentified
Henry Phillips.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus, folks.
We got music in the mix.
Who else?
doug stanhope
Neil Hamburger.
joe rogan
Oh, come on, son.
Never seen his act.
Heard good things.
doug stanhope
Who else?
Garrett Stab as a local.
And, of course, a beautiful, fantastic guest set from Miss Lynn Shawcroft.
joe rogan
Shazam.
There you go.
So that's a fucking hell of a show, ladies and gentlemen.
Hell of a show.
December 10th.
Get on that shit.
And they can buy tickets where?
doug stanhope
I don't know.
joe rogan
Somewhere.
They can figure it out.
You're not stupid.
doug stanhope
Just Google it.
joe rogan
December 10th.
doug stanhope
I seemed interested, but then I couldn't figure it out.
joe rogan
Tucson, Arizona, the Rialto Theater, Doug Benson, and Posse, and crew.
You're having fun, dude.
You need to surround yourself with more positive people.
It's hurting me, hanging out with you here, hearing you all bummed out.
doug stanhope
I'm not really bummed out.
I'm just really fucking new at being.
I haven't gotten high in a fucking year.
Is that what it is?
joe rogan
You're being Debbie Downer a little bit.
doug stanhope
I'm always...
brian redban
Well, I mean, you're not having sex to me.
doug stanhope
I'm so fucking hyper aware of everything other than...
Tripping is never good for fucking entertainment.
joe rogan
No, it is.
It is.
doug stanhope
I tried a small fucking portion.
joe rogan
It's still good.
It's still good.
It was fun.
It was a fun conversation.
It's cool.
People enjoy these conversations.
They get to see you, you know, who you really are, man.
They get to see all of us who we really are in all sorts of different situations with tripping, sober, drunk.
doug stanhope
I've gotten more feedback about the first one where I go, that had to be boring to everyone.
It was just me talking to you about old days and shit.
joe rogan
It was fun.
People enjoyed it.
doug stanhope
But people loved it.
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta be positive.
I think you have a tendency to go negative.
It's like a tendency in your thinking to go negative.
Unfortunately, it fucking sets little triggers in your brain, and it sort of defines your outlook on things when you do that.
And you can fuck yourself into a bad state of mind.
doug stanhope
We can forgive Fear Factor 2, but if you start going motivational speaker...
joe rogan
I'm going Tony Robbins, bro.
I'm going to get one of those Bobby Brown headsets, and I'm going to go out there, and I'm going to show other people...
doug stanhope
Negative vibes, and you know what?
Negative vibes create negative atoms in your fucking DNA. You make negative children.
You don't want that.
joe rogan
Your spin residence is all off, man.
You need a different crystal on your neck.
doug stanhope
B! Excited!
B! B! Excited!
joe rogan
B! We could go off forever about motivational speakers, but the last thing I want to talk to you about is comedy classes, because I thought this was really funny.
doug stanhope
Kyle Cease I've talked to on the phone.
Again, it's like Dane Cook.
I talked to Kyle Cease.
I go, it was funny.
It created good internet buzz.
Yeah, it's a dumb thing.
I don't have to be high to be hyper aware of how pointless comedy is and the fucking scam that we get away with doing this for a living.
When it should be free.
joe rogan
You say that and I agree in a certain way, but in another way I don't agree because I was always happy to pay for it and I enjoy it still as an art form.
I think it's the most fun form of entertainment.
I think that we've been in it for so long.
You know, I think for some of us we might have forgotten how much we appreciated it in the beginning.
You know, forgotten that it's still the same thing.
doug stanhope
I've always forgotten it.
I've always forgotten it.
joe rogan
You're always hating it from the beginning?
doug stanhope
No, not from the beginning.
Once I knew the Hollywood blowjob was all a fallacy, I don't want to do anything more.
It's like Hedberg's joke about, oh, you're a comic, can you write?
Or can you act?
It's like saying, oh, you're a...
You're a cook.
Can you farm?
unidentified
Yeah, I remember that.
doug stanhope
Thank you for letting me fucking embarrass Mitch Hedberg's fucking grave.
joe rogan
You got through it, though.
You still got a good punchline out of it.
Because there was a pause, but you know what?
doug stanhope
This show is going to be fucked.
joe rogan
You didn't do a lot of uhs.
doug stanhope
I've only had three drinks, by the way, in fucking three hours.
joe rogan
Dude, everything's great.
No worries.
doug stanhope
No, I'm worried about Brea.
Oh, it's not fucked.
joe rogan
You're fine.
I can't wait.
doug stanhope
21 years of comedy.
Do you know how many times I've played the Bray Improv?
Never.
unidentified
Really?
doug stanhope
So, if it goes poorly, I'm not worried about my career.
joe rogan
Dude, it's a great comedy club.
unidentified
It's fun.
doug stanhope
You're gonna love it.
joe rogan
Bray is one of my favorites.
brian redban
I love Bray.
doug stanhope
If you go in with that attitude of, it doesn't fucking matter, you're usually funnier.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
I'm looking forward to your show tonight, man.
No pressure.
No pressure.
I'm just going to sit and be creepy in the back.
And if you're doing something I don't like, I'm just going to shake my head.
I'm going to put myself in a really obvious position.
doug stanhope
Last night, I go, yeah, Rogan said he's coming, but there's no way he's coming.
joe rogan
Why did you say that?
doug stanhope
Because it's fucking Irvine, that traffic.
Yeah, no fucking way.
joe rogan
Well, we already worked it out that I was coming tonight.
doug stanhope
Yeah.
Well, no, you said, oh, I'm going to come to both, and I know you're not going to come to both.
Who would?
joe rogan
Did I say that?
It's high.
doug stanhope
It's probably high.
joe rogan
It's ridiculous.
Why would I come to both?
doug stanhope
Why would you?
joe rogan
Why would I? That would be even creepier if I had to sit and watch the same show twice.
doug stanhope
Dan goes, Rogan's a man of his word.
I go, no, he's saying it flippantly.
There's no...
There's no fucking comedy.
joe rogan
Love you, Dad.
doug stanhope
There's no one joke.
No dead fucking Patrice O'Neal wrapped up in a Greg Giraldo with a Freddy Soto on top.
There's no comedy worth driving to Irvine from L.A. That's not true.
brian redban
I would totally go.
joe rogan
I was going to go see you.
If you didn't do the podcast and you were only doing Irvine, I would have gone to see you there.
For sure.
Because Brea, to me, is almost as far as Irvine.
doug stanhope
Yeah, but you have a convoy right now.
If you drive to fucking Irvine, they make traffic move.
And there's a convoy with flags on town cars.
joe rogan
Oh, Douglas.
I wish.
That would be awesome.
I could just have magic.
doug stanhope
I go, hey, I'll do you a podcast.
I think we can con my record company into getting a driver.
And Rogan goes, ah, now I have my own service.
I'll have him pick you up at 1.30, good for you.
joe rogan
Is that odd?
brian redban
No, but the fact that you have a bell that you ring out on your porch to summon the person, that's...
doug stanhope
Yeah, no, no, that's...
Affluence.
But no, you're not someone I feel uncomfortable around.
Like, you and Ron White were the two guys that I... Alright, no matter how, you're still you.
joe rogan
Yeah, who's changed?
Who have you ever met that got some money?
You know, for a lot of people, you know what it is, man?
They get something and then they don't want to lose it.
And then they get scared and then they clam up.
And then they stop doing anything controversial.
doug stanhope
Guys, I know.
Like Attell, I've never...
No one gets close to Attell.
Like, he's just...
joe rogan
Well, you know what?
I don't like to ever judge anybody or look at them all in categories.
I just tell you who I love, and I love Attell.
doug stanhope
Attell, I would say, is the fucking pound for pound, as they say in your industry.
joe rogan
The best?
doug stanhope
The best of our generation.
joe rogan
I don't know if I can agree with that, because, you know, quite honestly, I shift back and forth on a bunch of different guys.
I go back and forth, but I stop trying to put him in an order.
doug stanhope
Hedberg's a specific guy, but joke for joke, no one has more fucking jokes and personality than a tell.
There's five jokes in a joke.
joe rogan
Well, I will never argue with you on that.
I just think he's amazing, but I don't put him all in an order.
I've decided somewhere along the line just to appreciate him.
There's a little trap for me, at least.
doug stanhope
There's a Hunter S. Thompson part of it where you go, would you want to be that miserable of a fucking person?
joe rogan
To be that good.
doug stanhope
To be that funny.
joe rogan
You think he's more miserable than you by how much?
doug stanhope
Oh, yeah, no, he's really, like, he makes me, like, I go, just, let's go to Costa Rica together.
Let's just go on vacation.
Well, I've got this pilot, and it's not, it's no good, and I'm, like, he had a DVD, like, for three years he's been editing, but he hates every word of it.
You write more fucking jokes in a conversation while I'm drunk than I write in a fucking notebook in a year.
joe rogan
Well, what he is is a real fucking professional.
doug stanhope
It's a Bukowski thing.
Do you want to be that fucking miserable of a person to put out that good of art?
Me?
I'd rather fucking phone it in.
joe rogan
I honestly don't think it's an either-or.
I think you could just enjoy the whole process.
Hang on.
I love it, dude.
doug stanhope
Hey, faggot that's about to email and say, this thing went on too long.
brian redban
We have two minutes.
doug stanhope
Pause, and then, yeah, part four is right now.
joe rogan
We've got to end it because we're running out of space on the...
Yeah, I want fried clams.

joe rogan
I forgot.
That's all just a space move.
I apologize greatly.
doug stanhope
I still have your fucking Nike sneakers I stole from you on The Man Show.
unidentified

joe rogan
I'll have the fleshlights send them to you.

That guy's getting back from Japan right now.
He was checking out the reactors.
Okay?
He just got back from India where he hadn't seen a toilet in a month.
Yeah.
doug stanhope
That would be the number one guy of why doesn't everyone know this fucking guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I think that's going to change soon.
