NASHVILLE (Billboard) – Comedian Ron White’s new album, “Behavioral Problems,” recently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Comedy Albums chart. But White, who made a name for himself on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy, says the new album will be his last.

“Behavioral Problems” (Capitol Nashville) touches on material as diverse as bidets (“Fifty million gay men can’t be wrong”), his bust for possessing seven-eighths of a gram of marijuana (“When I have seven-eighths of a gram of marijuana, I consider myself to be out of marijuana”) and writer Norman Mailer, who died at 84 after a life in which he drank daily, smoked pot, was married six times and stabbed his second wife (“I’ve never read one of his books, but I got to tell you, I’m a huge fan”).

Three more fun interviews on tap to make the weekend podcast an extra special bit of Stashy goodness -

- Our Celebrity Stoner Entertainment News with Steve Bloom.  We cover the pot busts of Ron “Tater Salad” White, Colts DT Ed Johnson, and the alleged drug lifestyles of Sarah Palin’s teenagers.

- We catch up with Suburban Noize Records artist The Dirtball as he flies out of the Portland airport on his way to Phoenix and San Diego for shows this weekend.  This Oregon rapper has done more than 100 shows in 100 days with some of the biggest bonghitters on the planet and lived to tell the tale, right here on the Stash!

- Westwood One freelance reporter Eric Brenner checks in with his report on a press conference attended by former Drug Czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey to celebrate “National Recovery Month”.  McCaffrey couldn’t take the heat from someone asking him tough questions about his role in locking up thousands who never got a chance at “recovery”, and Eric joins us to talk about it.

WRCB Channel 3 Chattanooga News, Weather | They Caught the Tater: Comedian Ron White Busted for Marijuana
Comedian Ron White’s run-ins with the law make up a big part of his act on the popular “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”.

Now he’s got some fresh material.

White was arrested for marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia in Vero Beach, Florida on Wednesday.

Police say an anonymous tipster informed them that a plane carrying a passenger in possession of illegal drugs would be arriving at the Vero Beach Airport at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

White and the pilot were the only ones on board.

Officers say White was carrying less than three grams of marijuana, along with a pipe.

He was arrested and later released after posting $1,000 bond.

Hmm.  You’re traveling alone with the pilot and an “anonymous tipster” knows you’re carrying <3g of pot (less than one tenth of an ounce… I’ve rolled joints bigger than 3 grams!)  Just how “anonymous” could this person be?  He obviously wasn’t popped by TSA at the airport before flying to Vero Beach.  Somebody close to Ron White has it in for him, in my opinion.  An ex-wife, perhaps?
