In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes comedian Doug Phelps back to the studio for a lively conversation full of laughs, relatable frustrations, and inspiring stories. Bill kicks off the show by sharing the strange and frustrating adventures he encountered earlier that morning—from an 8 a.m. appointment that went off the rails to a trip downtown where an employee lazily slapped an “Out of Order” sign on a machine rather than fixing it. These small annoyances add up, leading Bill to wonder: “Am I the only one who sees people just not doing their jobs?”

Bill then shares a humorous yet thought-provoking story about a woman he noticed downtown, and he asks Doug for his take on whether noticing certain things makes him a jerk. This opens the door to listener letters, where Bill and Doug discuss whether people’s reactions to everyday situations make them, well, assholes. Doug, who also works as a bartender, offers some great advice on handling tricky situations with grace.

On a more uplifting note, Doug talks about his annual “Breast Bowl” bowling event, which has been raising money for breast cancer research for 14 years. He shares how the event has evolved and reveals the impressive amount of money they’ve raised to date—truly inspiring stuff!

The conversation then shifts to sports, as Bill and Doug discuss underdogs, focusing on Baker Mayfield and his never-give-up attitude. They also reminisce about beloved underdog Doug Flutie, who made his mark with the Buffalo Bills. Plus, they dive into a recent NBA star’s comments about reporters being “meat watchers” and whether there’s truth to that claim.

To round things out, Bill shares a brilliant parenting technique he picked up from his son Jameson—an effective way to get kids (or anyone) to open up and really communicate.
All this and more in a fun, insightful episode. Enjoy the ride!
