Hey, hey, hey, short rounds of Benson Burners. My name is Doug and I love minis.

This is Doug loves minis.

The show that is and might always be completely ad-free, coming to you from a hotel room in Oxnard, California on Wednesday, January 11th, 2017.

Last night I did a stand-up show at Levity Live here in Oxnard.

Thank you to everyone from Santa Barbara, Camarillo, Ventura, Thousand Oaks, North Ridge, Berkeley.

People came from all over the place for the show last night. It was a lot of fun. And Taylor Rizzo

and Dan Gabriel did guest sets and my opening act, Ungio Beelam,

and I played Last Man Stanton with a bunch of audience members who brought varying levels of name tags,

creativity-wise. One guy just wrote his name on a creativity-wise.

One guy just wrote his name on a three-by-five card, but you can hear all of it at the end of this mini.

Congratulations to R.L. McKinnon on Twitter for correctly guessing why the January 9th mini was named the Manchurian candidate.

And of course, that's because I mentioned Merrill Streep's political speech from the Golden Globes,

and she starred as a evil politician in the Jonathan Demi remake of the

Manchurian candidate. Good luck to all in being the first to reach out to me on Twitter

with a reason why, my reason why, my reason in my head that I chose, the

movie I chose as the title of this mini.

How are you guys doing with the DLM Oscar Challenge?

I still haven't seen more movies that would fit the challenge. I'm very hesitant to see

Manchester by the sea because it looks depressing. But last weekend I saw moonlight, so I got that

covered and I enjoyed it very much.

What are you guys up to? We've got a gentleman who goes by a major dude on Twitter,

and he says, living in Cincinnati, I don't think I'm going to be able to see everything,
