Flop House ANNOUNCEMENT - LIVE IN ENGLAND

Dan McCoy

[0:00] Hey everyone, it's Dan McCoy and Elliot Kalin.

[0:07] Why are we saying our names like we're the movie phone guy?

[0:09] Well, I'm so excited, Elliot.

[0:11] I'm saying I'm weird because I'm so excited because we're dropping into the feed to talk

[0:15] about our first show in the UK, the United Kingdom is what that stands for.

[0:22] That's a little fact for you.

[0:24] Our audience is already learning.

Elliott Kalan

[0:26] They've learned two things.

[0:27] We're doing a show in the UK.

[0:29] Two shows actually in one night and also that UK stands for United Kingdom.

[0:33] Now, Dan, what are the constituent countries that make up the United Kingdom?

Dan McCoy

[0:37] Well, let's see.

[0:39] There's England and Scotland.

[0:43] The one we'll be in.

[0:44] Yeah.

[0:46] Is Northern Ireland still part of the UK?

[0:49] Sure.

[0:50] Uh-huh.

[0:51] And what's Wales' situation?

Elliott Kalan

[0:53] And Wales is also part of the UK.

[0:55] Dan, 10 out of 10, as they would say, in the UK.

[0:59] We're going to England, Dan.

[1:00] We're doing two shows in England.

Dan McCoy

[1:02] That I'll be bringing to these two shows.

Elliott Kalan

[1:05] As you can see, Dan has researched heavily.

[1:07] Dan, what city in England are we going to be appearing in?

Dan McCoy

[1:10] We're going to Oxford.

[1:13] Oxford, England.

[1:15] We'll be appearing as part of the Saint Audio Podcast Festival.

[1:20] The first year of the Saint Audio Podcast Festival.

[1:23] We all remember praying to Saint Audio, the patron saint of podcasts.

[1:29] Mm-hmm.

Elliott Kalan

[1:30] And assorted audio and sound effects.

[1:32] The Saint Audio also covers folie art.

[1:34] I think that's actually how he was murdered, was while providing folio in ancient Rome.

Dan McCoy

[1:40] More facts.

[1:42] That you can't test them.

[1:44] There's no way to unprove that fact that Ellie just said.

[1:47] No way.

Elliott Kalan

[1:48] Hey, let's give them some more useful facts, like when the show's going to be and what's going on.

[1:52] Okay.

Dan McCoy

[1:53] The show is happening on May 24th.

[1:56] Friday.

[1:58] May 24th.

[1:59] Here in the U.S., that would be 524.

[2:02] Across the pond, I believe it's 24-5.

[2:06] But anyway, we're going to be appearing.

Elliott Kalan

[2:09] Hopefully the audience will be able to hack through this dense hedge of unnecessary information to get to the important details.

[2:16] May 24th.

Dan McCoy

[2:17] At Oxford Town Hall.

[2:19] As part of, again, the Saint Audio Podcast Festival.

[2:23] There's an early show and there's a late show.

[2:26] One at 7 p.m. and one at 9 p.m.

[2:29] What are we talking about?

[2:30] Two classics that totally represent England top to bottom.

[2:36] The twin gems of British cinema.

[2:39] The Avengers from 1998, which is, of course, actually a Hollywood movie, but it is based on the beloved 60s British spy program, television program, that had Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.

[2:56] She's not in the movie, though.

[2:57] Patrick Steeves.

[2:58] Not in the movie.

[2:59] Not in the movie.

[3:00] Oh, yes.

[3:00] Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes are in this one.

[3:02] That's the Avengers we're talking about, not the Marvel one.

[3:06] And for the late show, another equally beloved British icon will be talking about the Spice Girls in their film, Spice World.

[3:15] It's a Spice World.

[3:17] We're just living in it.

[3:18] There's human over there.

Elliott Kalan

[3:20] It's a Spice, Spice, Spice, Spice World.

[3:22] That's for sure.

[3:23] That's 7 p.m.

[3:25] On May 24th, we're talking the Avengers.

[3:27] 9 p.m.

[3:28] On May 24th, we're talking Spice World.

[3:30] Two separate shows.

[3:31] You'll need separate tickets for those shows.

[3:34] But for anyone who's been to a live Flophouse show, you know the shows are different because we're making it up as we go along for the most part.

[3:41] But this is the UK.

[3:42] You haven't seen a live Flophouse show possibly because we've never done one over there.

[3:46] So we're very excited about it.

[3:47] We'll be doing our PowerPoint presentations.

[3:49] We're talking about the movies.

[3:50] Maybe we'll take questions from the audience.

[3:52] I hope so because we get to hear more accents that way as opposed to the American accents we're used to hearing like mine right now.

Dan McCoy

[3:58] Yeah, this is the very first time we're leaving the continent of North America as a podcast.

[4:04] And it is coming to you in Oxford.

[4:06] And if you're interested, the easiest way to get tickets is to go to flophousepodcast.com slash events.

[4:15] And if you look there, there's a listing for the Oxford shows.

[4:20] And there's a link to the various, whether you want an early or a late ticket.

[4:25] Both of those links are in that one listing.

[4:28] So that's over at flophousepodcast.com slash events.

[4:34] And I just got this voicemail in from Stuart who's currently jetting his way to Australia so he couldn't be with us.

[4:44] But let's hear what he had to say about this.

[4:48] Hey, guys.

[4:49] It's me, Stuart, from the Flophouse Podcast.

[4:52] He said that we're doing a show out in the UK.

[4:54] So I'm about to head to the airport and fly out to Australia to do a little bit of groundwork, right?

[4:59] Because that's part of the UK.

[5:00] Wait.

[5:01] Wait.

[5:01] I think I need to get a map.

[5:03] Okay.

[5:04] I'll see you guys there in May.

[5:06] Bye.

[5:07] Oh, boy.

[5:08] Oh, man.

[5:09] Oh, come on, Stu.

[5:11] Oh.

Elliott Kalan

[5:12] Well, at least he knows not to put his jacket on a seemingly dead kangaroo.

Dan McCoy

[5:17] Yeah.

[5:17] He has learned at least that lesson.

[5:20] So for more lessons and facts, because that's what we primarily do on the Flophouse, remember to go to flophousepodcast.com slash events for those live shows.

Elliott Kalan

[5:31] And I just want to say, we're so excited about doing this.

[5:33] We've wanted to do a show in the UK for a long time now, and we're very excited to get this opportunity, thanks to the fine people at the St. Audio Podcast Festival.

[5:42] And we want to bring our best to you.

[5:44] So English fans, Scottish fans, Welsh fans, Irish fans, anyone nearby, Spanish fans, French fans, this is your chance.

[5:54] Come see us.

[5:55] It's going to be super exciting, and we can't wait to be there.

[5:58] Thank you ahead of time for coming.

[6:00] Thank you for listening.

[6:01] And thank you for being you.

[6:05] Bye.
