Hey hey hey everybody my name is Doug and we have a problem.

This particular episode was a lot of fun to record last night. Super great turnout at the nerd melt showroom at meltdown comics in Los Angeles and we lost the first 14 minutes of the recording due to some like a fucking bad memory card or some fucking thing.

So I'm going to try to recreate what happened before I brought out the guests. Fortunately the audio does kick in when I bring the guests out.

You don't have to hear the long pause after Doug does movies.com so there's that is an upside for you.

I started the show last night by saying it's Thursday December 22nd 2016 only three days till Christmas and this place is packed what are you a bunch of Jews. Yeah big laugh because they probably were.

I asked for name tags and there were a ton of name tags it's on a really good ones. You know some with lights on them and Chelsea was in the front row with the name tag covered in candy that I forget what it said on it.

Recounting everything that happened in the first 14 minutes of the show last night is not easy. I went on to talk about my holiday taint shows. I got Doug those movies this Monday night at the American comedy company in San Diego and then I'm doing stand up at the improv in Irvine on December 27th and the punchline in Sacramento on December 29th.

If you come to Irvine improv or the punch sack be sure to bring name tags because games will be played well one game at the end of the show and you have a chance winning the prize bag.

And Doug those movies is back at the Tempe improv in Tempe Arizona on New Year's Eve at 420. You can come to the show and then be done for the night at 6pm. Go home.

Or you could go out and do some I'm not in charge of what you do on New Year's Eve Tempe. I just need you to come to my show in the afternoon and we just added a Doug those movies on the final night of SF sketch fest January 29th.

And that's in addition to the Benson movie and eruption of 50 shades of gray and when I said that last night the whole crowd went, oh, I was like yeah you're right on January 15th. Go to sketchsf sketchfest.com.

And then I paused like I was going to pause a long time and people everybody enjoyed that a great deal. And then I said that's sf sketchfest.com.

The 12 guests of Christmas L.A. the West Coast edition this year is now ready and available to be purchased for two bucks in the comedy album section of iTunes.

Thanks for your patience on that. Took forever for that to come out for some reason. I don't get all this tech shit you guys. I just do the talking part and I don't even talk that good.

I did a shout out to Sean Sakamai and his brother Darryl who were in the house and I said that unfortunately his other brother Darryl couldn't make it because I like making new heart jokes.

And then this was another bummer last night. I had leaked in the previous episode the Emile Hirsch, the talented actor was going to be one of the guests on the show.

Because I was excited the Emile Hirsch was going to be on and I thought people should know. And then of course he gets sick and cancels that day.

So I explained that to the crowd and there was a little sadness. So it was clearly a little more full than usual because Emile Hirsch was going to be there.

So I apologize for that. And also but that's why I don't reveal the names on a regular basis is because you get bitten the ass when the person doesn't come and then the audience is like what?

You said you said Emile was going to be here. So I'll reschedule. Emile Hirsch will come on sometime in the future. So that's a nice tease. You have to come to LA shows from now until Emile Hirsch is on.

If you want to you know if that's what you want to do if you want to see Emile Hirsch. And then I talked about the prize bag and all this stuff that I put into it which of course now I'm having trouble remembering.

I brought a lot of random crap. There's a Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome button. There was some nutter butter bite cookies.
