Summary
Bill welcomes comedian, bartender, Uber driver and professional wildcard Doug Phelps back to the studio and yes… they briefly acknowledge the situation from Doug’s last appearance before immediately swerving into chaos. The guys dive into how terrifyingly easy it is to find your address, relatives, associates and entire existence online. At this point, becoming a conspiracy theorist almost feels responsible. Bill calls Doug “the last of a dying breed” — a 55-year-old man with no wife, no retirement plan and a long-term goal of maybe becoming a strip club DJ again. While most people built careers and 401Ks, Doug built a mental map of which bars still serve mozzarella sticks after midnight. Then things get weird. UFOs, aliens, government disclosures and why the official reports are so painfully boring. Bill argues human beings NEED mystery because deep down we are terrified life is just bills, passwords, errands and death. Aliens at least make the movie better. Funny, strangely insightful and just paranoid enough to make you check who knows your address.
