Download Digging Up Mother: A Love Story AudioBook Free
Doug Stanhope is one of the most critically acclaimed and stridently unrepentant comedians of his era. What will shock some is the fact that he owes so a lot of his dark and sometimes uncomfortably honest love of life to his mom, Bonnie. It was the cartoons in HER Hustler publication issues that molded the beginnings of his comedic trip, long before he was old enough to know very well what to do with the actual pornography. It was Bonnie who recited Monty Python sketches with him, who released him to Richard Pryor at nine yrs . old, and who rescued him from a psychologist when he brought that brand of humor to school. And it was Bonnie who had taken him along to all of her AA conferences, where Doug absolutely found ideas for his own storytelling. Bonnie's own trip from bartending to vehicle driving, therapeutic massage, elder abuse, and stand-up funny and behaving never discontinued her from being Doug's genuine number 1 admirer. So when Bonnie's alcoholic, hoarding life finally emerged to a finish so many odd journeys later in rural Az, it was unavoidable that Doug and Bonnie would be together for one last trip. Digging Up Mother practices Doug's absurd, chaotic, and frequently obscene life as it intersects get back of his best ally, his biggest admirer, and the love of his life: his mom, Bonnie. And it all starts off with her death - one of the most memorable and amazing farewells you will ever hear. Benefit: As supporters of his stand-up and listeners of his podcast will attest, Doug is not really a "by-the-book" kind of man. This audiobook is not a exception. In what he refers to as the "director's slice commentary," Doug forgoes the confines of the straight-read and creates a unique hearing experience, heading off-script to riff throughout its portions and attracting a solid of colorful characters - childhood friends, his podcast co-host, and fellow comedians and music artists - to tone letters from teachers and guidance counselors, journal entries from his mom, and even old homework assignments. On top of that, Doug has many of the folks talked about in the e book expound on and present their version of events and reviews, often remembered quite differently. The result is a wildly fun audiobook that's as different as the comedian's own brand of laughter. A special note from the writer: Good news for all those my blind and/or illiterate supporters! The audio tracks version of my e book Digging Up Mother is currently on Audible! It's read podcast-style without any help and the golden-throated Chad Shank and features visitor performances from those who appeared in the e book, dropping in to promote their own blurry memories of the sloppy pasts and ugliest reviews. Guests include my childhood delinquent spouse in crime Chris O'Conner, and Greg Chaille, Bingo, Mat Becker, Sarah Hyland (now Sarah HylanDER) and more. If you are thinking what "podcast-style" means, it means we were ingesting a whole lot. For days. And f*ing up a whole lot. They've promised me that they remaining the best f*ck-ups in the completed product. Most of them without doubt are my very own. I read like Expenses Burr learning a foreign language. Thanks in advance for hearing and posting, Facebooking, Tweeting, Instaf*cking, Redditing, Water-Cooler Chattering and all the means of growing the term. I'm only gonna pay attention to the Chad Shank chapters. Goddamn does indeed he sound delightful.
