1731 D&S: Everyone's Back Home Again Jul 03, 2026

Show notes

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.

1729 S&V&J&J Direct From Maaatha's Vineyaaahd Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

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.

Jason Swenk is a prominent digital agency coach, keynote speaker, and author of Operator to Owner.

1723 D&S: Doug's Stalking You From the Coffee Shop Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

Let me get this straight- Doug wants to park his Mustang outside of a coffee shop, with a "Ride me" sign and his phone number in the window, and wait for people to text him. When they do, he'll walk out of the coffee shop, invite them into the car, then drive them around Ojai. I guess it's better than offering kids candy from an unmarked white van. Wait, didn't Doug use to drive a Good Humor ice cream truck? This explains a lot...
