Doug Townson is a car salesman from Watson, Louisiana. He has gained a massive following for his humorous videos and commentaries, many of which involve or discuss women.
I find Doug fascinating in all his brutal weirdness, and, on a whim, I reached out to him to see if he would be willing to do a Superfreak interview. Surprisingly, he obliged. I hope you find the following podcast episode as entertaining and surprisingly heartwarming as I did. Doug has some whack opinions, but I believe his honesty and self-reflection will inspire the same qualities in listeners. You’ve never met anyone like Doug—unless you’ve been to rehab as many times as he has.
I enjoyed this interview through all its twists and turns. Remember: Doug’s opinions are Doug’s. I was channeling Terry Gross and trying to ask engaging questions in service of a greater story—and I think we got at least the beginning of that story.
Doug, you’re a legend. And possibly a tall tale. Love and respect, my friend. Come holla!

A storytelling project from comedian, writer, wife, and mother Mary Ryan Brown, Superfreak features comedian and artist interviews, audience questions, and guest appearances from…
Mary Ryan Brown is a former gifted kid who is still trying to navigate burnout while enjoying her ordinary life in South Mississippi. She lives within and without the carnival of the Deep South—trashy enough to love a bologna sandwich, but stuck-up enough to correct a UPS driver’s grammar. She considers herself an outsider passing as an insider—a murmuring pigeon lady masquerading as a country club mom. This unique perspective, she thinks, makes Mary Ryan a worthy conversation partner and interviewer. Then again, she has been known to indulge in delusions of grandeur.
Superfreak is all about the joy of uninhibited performance. A tribute to the Rick James song “Superfreak” and the 2007 film Little Miss Sunshine (Mary Ryan’s favorite), the podcast’s title owns the label of ‘outsider.’ Mary Ryan—who wears many different hats as wife, mom, writer, and comedian—aims to explore the unique challenge of balancing family, work, and the pursuit of impossible dreams. What happens when we show up, talk back to our fears, and give every ounce of effort to the present moment and the people with whom we share it? Or, as Mary Ryan’s mom would say, what happens when we show up and screech, “I ain’t skeerd!”
Expect the absurd. Expect Southern accents. Expect big questions and bigger surprises. This is Superfreak with Mary Ryan Brown.
