So Doug is sick, jetlagged, and stoned, yet they still managed to talk for close to an hour? Clearly these guys are actually really good under any adverse circumstances; or they have no talent whatsoever so it doesn't matter what state they're in, the show is always the same level of bad. I guess it's all relative, they're still more entertaining than Joe Rogan. And they tell the truth more often. Do you want some cool merch?

Doug's in Italy, so Strickland decides to get his wife, brother-in-law, and his sister-in-law's brother to record with him. What could go wrong? I think he just forgot about the show until Thursday night, then grabbed whoever happened to be at the house and said, "Hey, do you want to be on my podcast?" I guess it couldn't be any worse than what he and Doug do every week. Do you want some cool merch? Check out the store here- https://www.niceguysonbusiness.com/merch Need podcast production?
