In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes back comedian Doug Phelps for a raw and memorable conversation. Doug opens up about the recent passing of his mother, a deeply personal loss he only started to share with friends and fans last week. Bill recounts a funny, totally relatable moment when he unknowingly called Doug the day after her passing, creating an unintentionally comedic start to a serious conversation.

Bill asks Doug about the experience of losing a parent, leading to an insightful and poignant discussion that touches on resilience and the shared challenges of grief. But don’t worry, the laughs are still rolling! As a former strip club DJ, Doug never fails to deliver his iconic DJ intros, which Bill makes sure to get in this episode.

Then, the guys dive into the latest Sean “Diddy” Combs controversy, where a party planner revealed some eyebrow-raising past practices for event guests. Bill thinks this part of Combs’s “good-looking people” party brand is minor compared to the more serious allegations out there. Doug and Bill agree it’s a reflection on celebrity culture and the sometimes-strange standards of Hollywood.
Switching gears, the golf course gets a lot more heated than expected. Bill plays wild audio from a recent brawl on a Canadian golf course, sparking a debate on how they’d each react if a friend got whacked with a club. Doug recalls his own tense moments on the green, admitting how quickly those memories still get his blood boiling.

Plus, the guys touch on the recent breakup of REO Speedwagon after an impressive 50-year run. Bill speculates on frontman Kevin Cronin’s need for the limelight and whether the other members were just over it. Finally, Doug tests Bill’s knowledge of this year’s top Halloween costumes—does he nail it or whiff completely? The episode wraps up with Halloween dad jokes, where Bill and Doug try to beat the original punchlines with their own (terrible) attempts.

Enjoy the laughs, heartfelt moments, and plenty of entertaining tangents.
