pplpod Episode 36 goes all-in on Doug Stanhope—the barstool philosopher who turned gallows humor into scalpel-precise social critique. We track the early club years and boundary-pushing bits, the raw, career-defining specials (Deadbeat Hero, No Refunds, Burning the Bridge to Nowhere, Before Turning the Gun on Himself, No Place Like Home), and the move to Bisbee that became a creative headquarters. Inside the craft: fearless premises, cut-to-the-bone honesty, and storytelling that swings from riotous to devastating without losing control. We dig into The Man Show era, his memoir Digging Up Mother, podcasting from the FunHouse, and the unglamorous mechanics of touring, writing, and staying original when the safest move would be to soften. Chaos, clarity, and a comic who keeps choosing the hard, true thing.
