Doug Phelps is back in the studio! Bill welcomes back the comedian, bartender, DJ, and Uber driver for a hilarious and thoughtful reunion after some time apart. The two catch up on Thanksgiving, the chaos of the upcoming holidays, and Bill puts Doug on the spot with a New Year’s resolution question—Doug’s answer is one everyone can relate to.

Bill shares a laugh-out-loud story involving a friend, a ski trip, and a classic miscommunication about weight. Then things take a wild turn as Bill dives into the viral trend of porch pirates getting pranked by exploding paint packages. Are these videos real? Bill does a deep dive into how legitimate they are and reveals how much is actually lost to package theft each year.

The conversation heats up after Bill plays a news clip where someone questions what porch pirates might be capable of beyond stealing—sparking a spirited debate between Bill and Doug.

The two also discuss the holiday season and the feeling of being pulled in every direction. While Doug thrives during the holidays, Bill feels the pressure mounting. That leads into a deeper conversation about whether society is becoming more isolated due to Amazon, smartphones, less drinking, and less socializing. Bill talks about a recent Bill Maher clip that echoes what he’s been saying for a long time.

Finally, Doug challenges Bill to take action on something he’s been reluctant to do—and insists hard enough that it just might happen. Will Bill follow through? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Funny, thoughtful, and full of real talk—this episode has it all. Enjoy!
