#1048 - Doug Stanhope

Brian Hennigan (0:00)

I got too high.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Four, three, two, one.

Brian Hennigan (0:06)

Mr. Hennegan, you were talking in the background.

Doug Stanhope (0:08)

Yeah, Brian Hennegan, he's worried about the link. He's waiting for...

Joe Rogan (0:11)

Oh, joerogan.live. Yeah, I should tweet it, right?

SPEAKER_4 (0:14)

I didn't even tweet it.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

I'll tweet it while I'm talking to you. Douglas Stanhope, the mayor of Bisbee.

Doug Stanhope (0:22)

Wow, you're becoming the mayor of LA.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

That should be your thing, man.

Doug Stanhope (0:27)

300 square miles of studio space.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Twitter.

Doug Stanhope (0:32)

I knew when I pulled up... Well, the Uber dropped us at the wrong place, but then we walked a few buildings down and I saw a pickup truck loading Epsom salt into a side door. I go, yeah, that's flotation tank shit right there. We get the right door.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Going live with Douglas.

Doug Stanhope (0:51)

I only did flotation tank once for a shoot at your house.

For The Man Show and you had the one in the house and we were doing it for a shoot. So you can't really sit back and enjoy it. But for that 30 seconds, they shut the door until they go, action. You're like, wow, this is fucking weird.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

It's fucking weird. It's weird and it never stops being weird. Like even though I've done it, I don't know how many times, every time I do it, it's fucking weird.

It just, it's a very strange feeling and you could shut it off anytime you want. That's the best part about it.

Like, I love the fact that you could just get out of it. Like if you want to do shrooms or something like that, that's a commitment. I mean, you're in, you're in.

Doug Stanhope (1:32)

Six, eight hours. You don't know where you're going or who's going to call or stop by.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Yeah, you can't, you're not shaking that. You're just not, it's going to get you. I tweeted it.

Did you get it? All right, beautiful.

Yeah, but the tank, you just get out. It's awesome. Just open the door, it's over.

Doug Stanhope (1:50)

I'm sure there's some kind of upkeep that's necessary that I wouldn't do, and I'd forget, and I'd go on the road, and I'd come back, and there's bushes growing in there.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

You know what you should do? You should start a tank center in Bisbee.

Doug Stanhope (2:04)

If you ever wanted to. Nobody has money in Bisbee.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

You know, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. You get like one or two tanks, and you just rent them out all day long.

Doug Stanhope (2:13)

Yeah, it's, again, people have, disability is the biggest form of income there.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

I bet insurance will pay for it. Maybe I made that up. You should probably check.

I think that they'll, well, I think it's a form of therapy for sure.

Doug Stanhope (2:32)

Still, the point is, I'm not good at upkeep.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

I know, you don't have to hire somebody.

Doug Stanhope (2:35)

We have kind of an above ground pool that is just nothing but algae for eight months out of the year.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

Dude, I moved into a house once in Encino, and nobody had lived in it for, I guess, like over a year, and they didn't do anything with the pool. And the pool had become this green pond, and there was schools of mosquito larvae swimming around in the pool. Like, I was like, what in the fuck is that? Like, you could see them. It was the weirdest thing, man.

Doug Stanhope (3:03)

That's a problem with the, we're getting rid of the fucking thing.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

Dude, it was a real problem. Like, I was looking, I was like, you've got like a big stew of life out here.

Brian Hennigan (3:13)

There were so many mosquitoes, it was crazy.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

There were like little schools of fish. I was like, this is madness.

All these little things are blood sucking little vampires. They're gonna fly around and find things to bite.

Doug Stanhope (3:23)

And where I live, there's no other body of water for a hundred miles other than my above ground pool.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

Isn't it crazy, those little cunts, you can't kill them off. They just find a way to just breed and, like back East, they're way worse.

They're way worse than they are here. There's something about the weather out here, I guess, that keeps them in check.
