    About this Episode

    Doug shares his experience of moving to NYC to be a drunken harlot before finally chasing his standup dreams, but not before dipping a toe in the world of improv with his former teacher and this week’s guest, Chris Gethard.

    They discuss the terrors of witnessing your child’s head trauma over FaceTime, the prospect of ending up as t-shirt salesmen, and how peer criticism can unfortunately outweigh fan support.

    Olga Namer

    Olga Namer

    Doug welcomes comedian and former Orthodox Jew Olga Namer to the show! As the black sheep of her devout family, she still serves as an asset, flipping light switches and changing channels for her parents on Shabbat. Her attempts to embrace life on the outside are peppered with all the guilt, shame and fear of a sheltered upbringing, but Doug encourages her to lean into the rebellion with a little shoplifting.

    Kevin James Doyle

    Kevin James Doyle

    Doug welcomes friend and fellow comic, the solo show aficionado himself, Kevin James Doyle to the show! A product of a squeaky clean Christian upbringing, Kevin abstained from immorality (nuthin' but butt stuff 'till the age of 30) in an effort to save himself for marriage. When his bride-to-be breaks his heart he rebounds with a foreign straphanger, only to endure an outbreak so vicious, there was no doubt it was retribution from above. Make sure to check out all 3 of Kevin’s new specials dropping in 2024!

    Doug Gets Converted

    Doug Gets Converted
    Doug welcomes a real live Christian pastor to the show! Pastor Caleb Clardy from Trinity Grace Church in Brooklyn, NY explains what makes a church non-denominational, why he isn’t covered in bad tattoos, and how some righteous merch might rope in some newcomers. He even entices Doug to attend a service with the promise of a post-sermon dodgeball game and an artisanal pickle from the neighboring farmers market.

    Dina Hashem

    Matt Wayne | AMA #3

    Matt Wayne | AMA #3

    Doug welcomes comedian, actor, filmmaker, and best bud Matt Wayne to the show for an AMA that devolves into a beautiful disaster (311, anyone?). After covering sadistic Catholic school nuns and how to spot JWs in your neighborhood they get to the important issues… Forrest Gump’s giant hog, soiling your khakis, and the blatant homoeroticism of Ren & Stimpy. Check out Matt’s feature film “Solo Project” on Amazon Prime and keep an eye out for his upcoming standup special “Take A Sniff” dropping soon on his yet to be created YouTube channel!

    Faith Before Family | Dear Doug #6

    Faith Before Family | Dear Doug #6

    Doug responds to an email from a listener who was disfellowshipped at 17 and lost all contact with his devout JW mother. Even when his son was diagnosed with cancer, his mother put her faith before family, refusing to reestablish a relationship and confirming the fact that “worldly people” are without a doubt the biggest threat to the organization.

    Ian James Corlett

    Ian James Corlett

    Doug welcomes iconic voice over actor and ex-JW Ian James Corlett to the show. With an IMDb page longer than the Old Testament, Ian has voiced beloved cartoon characters for decades (Mega Man, Goku) while simultaneously serving as a Christian elder. When fellow elders in his congregation condemned him for his nanosecond role in Casper’s Haunted Christmas, he began to question his belief system and strategized an exit to ensure a brighter future for his wife and children.

    Freedom Doesn't Have a Price | Dear Doug #5

    Freedom Doesn't Have a Price | Dear Doug #5

    Doug responds to an email from a listener whose story reaffirms that good standing in the JW organization is a full time job. After leaving an abusive husband, a punishing family, and thousands of hours in the door to door ministry behind, she continues to struggle to find her footing in the outside world but knows you can’t put a price on freedom.
