Check out The Benson Interruption thread. All of your questions will be answered.

Why yes it is. I am a dumb. Off to see Inception. I hope I like it more than Doug...

Awesome podcast with Rogan, Tripoli, and Reichle. Does this mean we can look forward to you on a future episode of the Joe Rogan Experience? I would very much like to get stoned and listen to that.

[qqpewpew]

have you seen alien blood?

[dougbenson]

yes

no

yes, in a few weeks.

(i would very much like you to do that)

Doug were you a dancer at one point or was it just a fluke that you were in Capt EO? Do you dance now, like for fun or something? With ladies maybe? (or men)

[dougbenson]

they tried to teach us "extras" who said we could "dance" to do a choreographed number, but they quickly gave up and told us to "freestyle."

i only dance today if there's a chance it will get me "laid."

(to rest)

I only recently bought my first ipod (lame, I know) so I am new to the whole podcast thing. When I discovered DLM, I quickly burned through them all. Great stuff!

A few weeks ago I saw on the website for the Houston Improv that you were scheduled for some dates in August but then it was taken down the next day. What gives? Hope you can make it down again sometime soon.

Thanks.

[dougbenson]

what gives is that the houston improv decided to use someone else that weekend. i will work on getting another gig in houston sometime soon.

('ve got shows coming up in austin and ft worth this year if you feel like road-trippin')

[BlakeHop]

Well then BOOOOOOOOOOOOO the Houston Improv. Sounds like it's time for a road trip!

Thanks for the response.

Doug, is it true that you're always stoned during performences?

[dougbenson]

i try to be. because i'm a professional.

(are you a cop?)

[zombiebutter]

With the return of Eastbound and Down happening later this year, would it be possible to have Danny McBride, Jody Hill and Ben Best on DLM if they are in town or whatever? That would be really awesome.

[dougbenson]

i'd love that. i've met jody and danny, and they are both super nice guys. but i don't have any way to get in touch with them to do the podcast.

(perhaps they read this thread?)

This is probably pushy (and possibly preemptive) but has the Tampa December show been confirmed? Also, I wonder - are most comedy clubs 21 and over? I'm well past the limit but it would be cool to take my son who turns 20 in December. He's a comedy and movie fan. Although I may have ruined you for him - once I rave about something being good, he becomes skeptical - how can his aged mother know anything?

Hopefully, multiple (and lengthy) questions are allowed. Thanks.

[dougbenson]

my booking at the improv in tampa is sticking so far, but these things are always subject to change.

i think most of the improvs are 18+ because they serve full dinners, but you'll have to check with them to be sure.

(if you bring your kid, graham elwood will palm strike him - in a good way)

[Vercetti]

Doug-

Hey man, big fan here...

What's your personal favorite joke of yours?

What's your favorite "edible"?

[dougbenson]

i love them all equally.

(same answer to both questions)

[ASR]

Extrapolating from those answers, I'm betting your favorite color is rainbow. Or green.
