Father-Son Stories, Strip Club Tales, and the No-Touch Driving Law

In this episode of Billified: The Bill Moran Podcast, Bill welcomes comedian, bartender, Uber driver, and former strip club DJ Doug Phelps, along with his dad David Phelps, a former Elvis impersonator. The conversation kicks off with Bill reflecting on fatherhood—sharing stories about his sons, including a recent move and the challenges of being heard by adult kids.

Bill and David swap insights on parenting, connecting with their children, and how a life in entertainment shaped their relationships. David gives us a taste of his Elvis vocals, and they dive into the evolution of music—from Elvis to The Beach Boys to The Rolling Stones’ hits and flops. You’ll be surprised which musician besides Elvis most impressed David!

The crew also unpacks New York’s new no-touch phone law for drivers—how will this affect Uber and Lyft drivers? Is it about safety, or just another cash grab? They discuss work ethic in America, how comfort may have made us soft, and what era David would return to if he could.

And of course, Tales from the Strip returns! Hear Doug’s wildest stories from behind the bar and DJ booth—including a bizarre raccoon revenge incident, how patrons try (and fail) to sneak back in after getting tossed out, and Doug’s most awkward Uber encounter. A fun, heartfelt, and hilarious episode filled with father-son moments and crazy bar tales! Enjoy!
