[He knows he's not as good at the whole recapping thing as Dipper and Ford, but right now he's the only one who has a semi-accurate recollection of the situation, so it's gotta be him.]
Okay, so. You kids were heading home to California and me and Ford were out on the ocean and we got sucked into this place called Deerington? It looked like a town straight out of the fifties, but it was actually the dream of some...really powerful little girl? We were there for a little bit, you and Ford at first, then me, then Mabel turned up after. The dream started crumbling after a little while though, so we took the chance to get out and move on.
[There are a lot of details missing, a lot of hardship and pain, but as far as Stan's concerned this Dipper doesn't need to know everything. Just telling him what the place is should be enough.]
Apparently "moving on" meant waking up in Trench as weird magic squid people? ...Don't look at me like that! We literally washed up on a beach as squid and when we turned back into people we found out we have blood magic now! The people there called us Sleepers and they kinda worshipped us a little? So we stayed there for a while, until--
[--until he abandoned everyone by vanishing into the ocean first. He stumbles over this part, noticeably skipping something.]
--well, we all wound up back in the ocean eventually. You woke up here first, then me and Ford showed up, and now we're waiting on Mabel.
