Greatest Trek! A Crossover Mess-Around

[0:00] Hello,

[0:28] and welcome to a special team-up episode of The Greatest Generation, The Flophouse, and

[0:34] Greatest Trek.

[0:37] For The Greatest Generation and Greatest Trek, I'm Ben Harrison.

[0:41] And I'm Adam Pranica.

[0:43] And for The Flophouse, I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:46] Also from The Flophouse, I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:49] And thirdly from The Flophouse, I'm Elliot Kalin.

[0:51] Ben, you started off with such a great, smooth, professional intro.

[0:54] I know.

[0:55] Well, the wheels fell off.

[0:56] The wheels fell off.

[0:57] The wheels fell off.

[0:58] So fake.

[0:59] I felt like it was a promising takeoff, but then a bumpy flight, which is interesting

[1:04] because we're tying in this episode to tease some bonus content.

[1:09] Now, it's getting to be MaxFunDrive time, or if you're listening to this during the

[1:13] MaxFunDrive, it is MaxFunDrive time.

[1:16] That's the time when we, Maximum Fun Shows, say to you, the listeners, thank you for thanking

[1:22] us for our shows in the form of money that you pledge every month for us to have.

[1:30] And I don't know if I can talk for the, I don't know if I can talk for the-

[1:33] I don't know if I've ever heard it put so concisely as that.

[1:36] Yeah.

[1:37] Thank you.

[1:38] So clearly, people totally understand what the business model is, you know, like how

[1:43] we get paid.

[1:44] We don't have weird comments on Reddit about how it seems like we're just a grift for all

[1:48] of a sudden.

[1:49] Why are you reading the Reddit comments?

[1:51] Don't read the Reddit comments.

[1:53] Some of them are very nice, though.

[1:54] Some of them are very nice.

[1:55] Those, yeah, read those, I guess.

[1:57] Yeah.

[1:58] So I can't speak for Ben and Adam.

[1:59] They're great guys, but I just don't spend as much time with them.

[2:00] You can speak for me.

[2:01] I give you that permission.

[2:02] Okay.

[2:03] Speaking with the power of attorney for Ben and Adam, and also for Dan and Stu, I'll say

[2:08] that making our podcasts is a real joy.

[2:12] It's something that we really love doing, and we love creating something that fans can

[2:16] enjoy.

[2:17] We love that we have listeners.

[2:18] We love that so many listeners are so excited about our work, and that you not only enjoy

[2:23] it, but that you want to support it.

[2:24] And now, really only speaking for me and Dan, and I'm not sure about Ben and Adam's situation,

[2:29] but we are especially excited and thankful and very grateful during this time when the

[2:35] TV and film business is collapsing and crumbling in on itself, like a house made out of soggy

[2:40] cheese that's been left out in the rain and the sun for too long, and is now imploding

[2:44] and no longer edible.

[2:46] It's just spoiled and rancid.

[2:47] Cheese is a terrible building material to begin with.

[2:51] Yeah.

[2:52] Yeah.

[2:53] But they thought it was a new model.

[2:54] They said, we've been building TV shows out of structurally sound materials for too long.

[2:57] But when they build a house out of cheese, they shouldn't have done it in MacArthur Park

[3:00] because the second it rains, we know what's going to happen.

[3:04] That's good real estate, though.

[3:05] Yeah.

[3:06] They wanted to break the curse.

[3:07] Anyway, that's a long, very logical way of saying we're especially thankful and especially

[3:12] grateful that we have the support of our listeners because it is very literally keeping

[3:18] us going.

[3:19] Because Papa doesn't have any other form of income right now.

[3:22] In this case, I'm Papa.

[3:24] So if the movie Where's Papa was playing about Dan, you would know that the answer is at

[3:30] Dan's apartment.

[3:31] Or if I was singing Bob Seger's Come to Papa, you'd know I'm saying come to Dan's house.

[3:37] Yes, exactly.

[3:38] And if you're hearing Papa don't preach, we're saying Papa will preach about the need for

[3:42] you to support us during this max fund drive.

[3:46] We would love to have new members, listeners who have not made the plunge into being regular

[3:51] donors.

[3:52] Please consider it.

[3:53] Please do.

[3:54] If you are a regular donor, please consider upping your donation amount.

[3:56] Just to show.

[3:57] Ali, I just want to say we're not saying donation because that confuses people.

[4:01] Oh, right.

[4:02] Sorry.

[4:03] It is not a, what do you call it?

[4:04] Nonprofit.

[4:05] We are not a nonprofit.

[4:06] We are very much a for-profit organization.

[4:10] We like profit and want it.

[4:11] You are patrons of the arts and the arts in this case is us.

[4:16] If you have not been paying for this-

[4:17] I'm Papa and also the arts in this scenario.

[4:20] Papa Arts?

[4:21] Papa Arts, which is your, your, your like Zydeco burlesque name that you perform under.

[4:25] If you like cream puffs, you might think of yourself as a beard Papa and your, your creamy

[4:32] filling would be your financial support of this sweetened pastry.

[4:37] I like it when you call me beard Papa.

[4:39] Of all of our podcasts.

[4:41] Hey, do you guys think we should get onto some like actual content and off the pitch

[4:45] before we drive everyone away?

[4:46] I guess.

[4:47] I mean, we've been so clear so far that we may as well.

[4:50] I think we've been, so anyway, so this is just, we, we want to, and also we have an

[4:54] actual thing to tell you about, which is, why don't you, so Ben, why don't you talk

[4:59] about what we've done together that is a special thing?

[5:03] What have we done?

[5:04] Oh boy.

[5:05] What have we done?

[5:06] Not the illegal thing.

[5:07] Point to the, point to the part of the doll that we've done, that we record, that we recorded

[5:12] a podcast about.

[5:13] Not the murder we all did together.

[5:15] Don't give them any details about that.

[5:17] Well, we heard.

[5:18] It happened last summer, dude.

[5:20] Yeah, surely no one will remember it by now.

[5:23] He was just a fucking fisherman, nobody cares.

[5:28] We heard from a listener to our show that they would love to hear a collab, another

[5:32] collab-o between us and our buddies at the Flophouse, because we've done them before.

[5:37] This time what we recorded.

[5:38] There's a precedent.

[5:39] Chill out.

[5:40] Yeah.

[5:41] Was.

[5:42] Get off our dick.

[5:43] About.

[5:44] Jesus Christ.

[5:45] Dan, Dan, let's, let's try to, let's try not to anger the bears out there, you know,

[5:50] with the, with like, if, if we want it, we want to get them to, to, to like leave the

[5:54] campsite peacefully and maybe, maybe pledge to us along the way.

[5:58] Let's not rile them, you know.

[6:01] You don't want to be aggressive, you just want to make yourself big and noisy.

[6:04] You want to confuse, you know.

[6:07] Our listeners are a bunch of, our listeners are a bunch of adorable, huggable bears and

[6:10] Dan is just laying out the cocaine for them to see what will happen.

[6:13] Big and noisy with wordplay, that'll keep the bears away.

[6:17] We, we reviewed a movie called Airplane 2 colon the sequel, and we made a, a collaborative

[6:24] bonus episode with both of our shows that is now in your bonus content feed if you are

[6:29] already a max fund supporter and will be soon if you're about to become a max fund supporter.

[6:34] And it is a really bad movie, but it stars William Shatner, so it's appropriate to both

[6:39] of our shows.

[6:40] Again, stars is generous, William Shatner appears in maybe a fifth of the film.

[6:47] I'm aware of that, that the, like the source material is bad, but the hosts that talk about

[6:52] it, uh, they make it fun and good.

[6:55] And it's sort of that kind of show that we all made together.

[6:57] Yeah, which is opposite of me and Adam's, uh, of, because usually we're reviewing good

[7:03] things, but we're not that good, but you guys might be a little bit more familiar with that

[7:08] kind of book.

[7:09] You guys get to review good things, good things like the cheesecake factory.

[7:12] I didn't know that was possible.

[7:13] Are there good things?

[7:14] Yeah.

[7:15] When we get lucky.

[7:17] So we made, so we, so we, we recorded a fun time talking about airplane to the sequel.

[7:22] It's available in the maximum fun bonus content feed.

[7:26] You will not be hearing it unless you decide to go to my Mac.

[7:30] If you to go, sorry.

[7:31] Go to my Mac.

[7:32] You will not be hearing it.

[7:33] You go, unless you go to the Macs, unless you go to the Macs, the restaurant from Saved

[7:37] by the Bell and you hang out with Screech and the gang, and you ask them to put HBO

[7:41] Macs on the screen, uh, and they only play Mac's head drum.

[7:48] Headrum.

[7:49] Mac's headrum.

[7:51] Headrum, which is about a, a, a, a boutique liquor brands that Matt Fruher puts out.

[7:57] Uh, go to, if you go to maximum fun.org slash join, if you join Fruher started a fucking

[8:03] celebrity booze brand selling rum and he called it max headroom, you know, we would buy that

[8:09] shit.

[8:10] That's crazy.

[8:11] That's a million, a billion dollar ID hotel from the shining to buy max headroom.

[8:16] Yeah.

[8:18] I can't cover up the call to action.

[8:20] Max headroom is just a beautiful dream.

[8:22] So instead of spending your money on that non-existent celebrity liquor, instead go

[8:26] to maximum fun.org slash join and become a member, become a member and start pledging

[8:31] money not as a donation, but as a real exchange for artistic content in the form of services

[8:37] and commentary, uh, services rendered.

[8:40] It's a monthly membership.

[8:42] Uh, you can choose what level of membership you want to be at.

[8:45] You can go as low as $5.

[8:46] You can go as high as $200.

[8:47] Why not go as high as you can?

[8:49] I want to make it clear at the $5 level, $5 level, you get access to all that bonus content.

[8:55] Really honestly, that's, you know, like, look, if you can afford to give us more, that's

[9:01] great.

[9:02] But in terms of like the rewards you get, the good stuff, we give you the good stuff

[9:06] up front.

[9:07] Let me just say, the floppers are making really worthwhile bonus content though, as a, as

[9:12] a flap house fan, I gotta say, get your money into this, uh, into this thing so that you

[9:18] can listen to that stuff.

[9:20] What's uh, what's your, what's your, what's your favorite part of our stuff?

[9:23] Hmm.

[9:24] Oh, the jokes.

[9:25] Oh, you like the jokes.

[9:27] That is kind of primo stuff right there.

[9:29] That is top shelf.

[9:31] It's a, it's right next to the bottle of max head room.

[9:33] I can't tell whether Ben has listened to it, but I have listened to the cheesecake factory

[9:39] reviews, which, uh, you know, I, I think, I think it got talked over before, but I was

[9:44] saying that, you know, some of the good stuff they talk about the cheesecake factory on

[9:48] the bonus feed.

[9:49] Oh yeah.

[9:50] It's mainly what reviewing the quality of the menu and how many pages it has.

[9:54] Yeah.

[9:55] And, uh, we've gone to all, all different cheesecake factories on our different episodes

[9:59] of that bonus show.

[10:01] Do you have a, do you have a new one coming up?

[10:04] Do you have a new one lined up?

[10:05] You have your eyes on the prize.

[10:06] One of the ways the show is unsustainable is our decision to go to different, different

[10:11] locations every time.

[10:12] I'm going to have to start like booking Southwest flights to like Tucson so that we can keep

[10:16] that going.

[10:17] Yeah.

[10:18] What a treat.

[10:19] Yeah.

[10:20] We've got, you can go to a mall somewhere and get some cheesecake factory.

[10:23] Yeah.

[10:24] So I've never been to a cheesecake factory and their reviews make me want to go.

[10:28] I gotta say.

[10:29] You should come on a show sometime.

[10:30] That would be delightful.

[10:31] Yeah.

[10:32] You should do it.

[10:33] Dan.

[10:34] We'll fly to New York and we'll go to one there.

[10:35] I'm sure they've got it.

[10:36] Dan would love that.

[10:37] Do we have one?

[10:38] He loves food.

[10:39] He's a real gourmand.

[10:40] If not, there's gotta be one in fucking New Jersey.

[10:41] Yeah.

[10:42] Of course there is.

[10:43] Yeah.

[10:44] That's where I used to go to when I was young.

[10:46] Anyway.

[10:47] So, uh, that was where Tony Soprano was shot, right?

[10:50] The movie Tony Soprano was shot in the cheesecake factory.

[10:56] It's not definitive whether he was shot.

[10:58] You see, you see the, the, the assassin, he points his gun into the holes of a big Swiss

[11:04] cheese.

[11:05] The bullet will go through the cheese into Tony Soprano and then it cuts to black.

[11:08] But you can see that the assassin is getting distracted by the menu cause there's so much

[11:12] stuff in it.

[11:13] There's so much.

[11:14] And so it's, it's a little ambiguous whether he actually pulls the trigger.

[11:17] And journeys don't stop a cheese in his plan on the, on the soundtrack.

[11:21] Most unbelievable part was how difficult a time, uh, Meadow Soprano had parking, plenty

[11:25] of parking outside the cheesecake factory every time.

[11:29] Every time.

[11:30] So convenient.

[11:32] Downtown Brooklyn, there's a famous desserts by the cheesecake factory, but there's, but

[11:37] there's a full menu.

[11:38] Dan, Dan, you don't need to research it right now.

[11:39] There's no need to save it up for the bonus episode.

[11:40] Yeah.

[11:41] Save it for the, there's a lot of Flophouse bonus content.

[11:45] We've got audio commentaries for movies.

[11:47] We've got many episodes of a role playing game that we played, uh, set in the weird

[11:51] thirties noir world that, spoiler, the last episode ended with me with a, with a head

[11:56] full of space worms.

[11:57] Uh, so get ready to listen to find out how that happened.

[12:01] I love your role playing episodes.

[12:02] They're really great and like super well produced.

[12:04] You guys put a ton of work.

[12:05] Oh, thank you.

[12:06] That, I mean, that's all our producer, Alec Smith.

[12:08] And also, I mean, I put a lot of work into it too.

[12:11] And we have some hot ones coming up where, uh, we're going back to play, eating chicken

[12:14] wings with different sauces on them.

[12:17] Uh huh.

[12:18] Yep.

[12:19] That's what we're doing.

[12:20] You know, normally that sort of shit's reserved for like a Cate Blanchett level celebrity,

[12:23] but instead he's like, I'm going to get these dumb ass podcasts, but with that, we've got

[12:28] another role playing game coming out that we've recorded already.

[12:31] Yeah.

[12:32] That day, Stu, you're saying we were turning to our flop tales, uh, dog world.

[12:35] Yeah.

[12:36] You guys play animated dogs.

[12:37] Zubin's back.

[12:38] Yeah.

[12:39] The whole gang's together.

[12:40] Yeah.

[12:41] Zubin's back.

[12:42] Yeah.

[12:43] We're all back together.

[12:44] And, uh, all that bonus content.

[12:45] It's many hours of bonus content at this point.

[12:46] We've been doing this for years.

[12:47] All of us.

[12:48] There's a lot of exclusive shows.

[12:49] You can only get to it.

[12:50] If you go to maximumfun.org slash join and join, become a pledger, pledge some money

[12:56] to us each month.

[12:57] And it means that we will continue to make our shows and we'll continue to be able to

[13:00] focus on them and put real effort into them because they're all we've got right now, guys.

[13:05] It's everything we have.

[13:06] Look, this, I, they say, don't put your eggs in one basket.

[13:09] What happens when life takes away the other baskets?

[13:11] It's true.

[13:12] It's like musical chairs, except baskets and the podcasts or the music.

[13:18] And I mean, not me.

[13:19] I got plenty of baskets, but you guys, yeah, you're down to just one.

[13:24] It's true.

[13:25] Zach Galifianakis over here with all his baskets.

[13:27] Yeah.

[13:28] Oh yeah.

[13:29] That's what they call me in the streets.

[13:31] Guys.

[13:32] What do they call you in the sheets though?

[13:35] Oh, you don't want to know, buddy.

[13:38] Is this a, is there more to this?

[13:40] Do we call me Zach Galifianakis in the sheets?

[13:43] Nice.

[13:44] Hot.

[13:45] Nice.

[13:46] Hot.

[13:47] We didn't really talk this out well before.

[13:49] Is there any content to this or is it just a commercial?

[13:53] We're just having a good time.

[13:55] What content do you want?

[13:56] Okay.

[13:57] I just look, I don't need to.

[13:58] Dan, be the change you want to see in the world.

[13:59] Harsher, mellow, if that's the thing.

[14:01] Yeah.

[14:02] We're doing like a little, you know, when you're watching the Superbowl, Dan, and you're

[14:06] like, well, my team's not doing well, but at least, oh, these are commercials.

[14:10] Oh wow.

[14:11] These are really fun and funny.

[14:12] Like sometimes ads are fun and funny and that's what this is, a fun and funny ad.

[14:16] Yeah.

[14:17] Dan, go to Stan Freeberry and tell him ads can't be funny.

[14:21] What is the Max Phone Drive but the Superbowl of podcasting?

[14:24] Thank you.

[14:25] Oh, very much so.

[14:26] I just teed you up, dude.

[14:27] We're going to have to edit that out.

[14:28] It is the big game of podcasting, isn't it?

[14:32] Yeah.

[14:33] Just beep that, Alex.

[14:36] Yeah.

[14:37] No.

[14:38] I mean, it's a thrill to get to sit down with you guys.

[14:42] You guys were really early on in the game of podcasting and I feel like when Adam and

[14:48] I were getting started, you were kind enough to share a lot of your, uh, you know, like

[14:53] we were like, when, when Maximum Fun sends us a check, like what, what do we do?

[14:59] And Elliot wrote like a very detailed email about like the, you know, like how you guys

[15:05] had, had, uh, Ben, I've taken a home economics class, so I didn't have that question and

[15:10] I wasn't on that email thread that you had with Elliot.

[15:13] I mean, I did.

[15:14] So, and I really appreciated the advice that you were kind enough to share.

[15:18] Elliot, what do I do with the dishes after I've made dinner?

[15:22] I'm glad you wrote me about this.

[15:24] Here's what I'm going to tell you.

[15:25] It's going to be complicated, but you're going to be able to get through this.

[15:27] We'll do this together.

[15:28] Yeah.

[15:29] If you're, if you're like Elliot, you put a bad movie on an iPad and you stand there

[15:32] washing the dishes.

[15:34] Wash the dishes and get every now and then you have to pause the movies.

[15:36] That means drying off your hands, pausing the movie, writing down what happened and

[15:40] then pressing play again and then washing the dishes some more.

[15:43] It really would be easier if I just opened the window and threw the dishes right out

[15:45] and just pretended they didn't exist anymore.

[15:48] Go on the roof and shoot the dishes.

[15:50] I got three words for you, Elliot.

[15:52] Lick them clean.

[15:53] I've got one word for you.

[15:56] Opa!

[15:57] How do I deal with, I've got too many dishes.

[16:04] Well, here, my name is Zorba the Greek and I'm going to show you how to deal with those

[16:07] extra dishes.

[16:08] Using the surefire way of doing it.

[16:14] Zorba the Greek is being parachuted into the place where the alien dishes are attacking.

[16:19] He'll be able to take care of the problem.

[16:26] You guys are great network mates and we were, you know, I don't want to slam the other shows

[16:31] or anything, but your stuff is, you know, we're, you know, excited and proud to be on

[16:36] the same network, you know, as you guys.

[16:38] I feel like Maximum Fun is a real community of creatives and I've made real friends and

[16:44] like real relationships through being on this network and that's another exciting thing

[16:48] about it and something that the people pledging, they don't really get much of a benefit from

[16:54] that for me having friendships and important relationships in my life, but it's still something

[16:58] that makes my life worthwhile.

[16:59] They benefit from us being happy and not stressed out about money to whatever extent that's

[17:04] possible.

[17:05] Like, yeah, this makes better shows.

[17:08] Yeah.

[17:09] Yeah.

[17:10] And you know, like I understand it's hard to have someone come to you once a year and

[17:15] ask you for money.

[17:16] I didn't like it.

[17:17] Uh, you know, Uncle Sam does it.

[17:19] Let's all get our guns and go to the Capitol.

[17:23] Yeah.

[17:24] We moved to fun drive.

[17:25] No, no, no, no, no.

[17:26] It was on April 15th last year and we moved it to a different time of year so that it's

[17:30] not quite as reminiscent of that.

[17:32] Yeah.

[17:33] Let's just say it sounds like a joke, but his face is deadly.

[17:36] If you listen to maximum fun shows and you don't support them, uh, you may be visited

[17:42] by a maximum fun auditor.

[17:44] No, I, what I was trying to say was, you know, I didn't like it when NPR say did it when

[17:51] I was growing up or the public radio, cause I'm like, Oh mom, my favorite shows are being

[17:55] interrupted by all this gobbledygook.

[17:58] But your favorite radio shows as a kid, I listened to so much public radio as a kid.

[18:04] Yeah.

[18:05] It does.

[18:06] It does.

[18:07] But like that's, that is the, I didn't realize that ads were one of the things that was being

[18:13] considered under all, when you say that there's a community of creatives, like that's like

[18:19] the thing that is, there's a trade off.

[18:23] None of us, I think really, it comes natural to us to go out and ask for money.

[18:29] None of us, it comes natural to us to think of the thing that we do as a business.

[18:34] But it is, at this point in our lives, we kind of need to like have money to continue

[18:41] doing it.

[18:42] And the beauty of a, an organization like maximum fun is it is set up.

[18:48] So that is not necessarily the primary concern while we want to get paid for the work we

[18:54] do.

[18:55] Like we also want to put out something good.

[18:57] We want to put out it, put it out in our way where we don't have to like filter it through

[19:03] a third party.

[19:04] We want to be able to make like moral decisions about what our shows are, all of these things.

[19:10] And that's the sort of the benefit of being supported in this way to get serious for half

[19:16] a second.

[19:17] Well put.

[19:18] And now back to the jokes.

[19:19] Anyway, ping pong, ping pong, toilet flush, whoa, fart, fart, fart, Dan, you made a really

[19:26] good point.

[19:27] We, I thank you for articulating it so well.

[19:29] Uh, yeah.

[19:30] And, and like, I mean, I'm looking at, uh, I'm looking at like real writing awards that

[19:36] Dan has won behind his shelf and, uh, those days are gone.

[19:41] Yeah.

[19:42] Yeah.

[19:43] That, that Emmy and 25 cents will get him a pack of gum.

[19:46] That's a picture of Belushi and the word college written across his chest.

[19:52] Yeah.

[19:53] Yeah.

[19:54] Dan, I didn't realize that so much of what you learned in college could be defined by

[19:58] what it says on video games.

[20:01] It's right there on the wall, sure.

[20:03] But like, I think that we all feel tremendously lucky to have found this as a, as a thing

[20:07] that we can, um, you know, to a certain extent, make a career out of.

[20:12] And, uh, uh, that's all because of listener support like that.

[20:16] I mean, the ads are, the ads are nice, but they don't pay the bills.

[20:20] Like the listener support really does.

[20:22] And, uh, yeah, we, uh, we hugely appreciate it.

[20:25] So, um, go get some fun bonus content by signing up at maximum fund.org slash join.

[20:30] And, uh, the real reward will be all of the warm, fuzzy feelings you experience.

[20:35] But also the bonus content and the, and the stuff they get in the mail.

[20:38] And yeah, I mean, those are the real rewards that, yeah, I guess.

[20:41] Yeah.

[20:42] And if the warm, fuzzy feeling causes you to pass out, go to a doctor because that is

[20:46] a separate question of blood flow.

[20:49] Yeah.

[20:50] And all, all this preamble really is just a setup for this whole process made us watch

[20:54] Airplane Two, which is a movie that sucks.

[20:57] So, please, please don't make it worthwhile.

[21:00] Make it so that we didn't, we, we only, and this is something that I've realized more

[21:03] and more as the Flophouse continues is we only have a limited amount of time on this

[21:06] earth.

[21:07] There's a certain amount of it for me.

[21:10] We have sold some of it to you.

[21:12] Yeah.

[21:13] We've promised to do terrible things with it.

[21:16] I'm sacrificing hours of my life, which builds up to days.

[21:20] At this point, I've spent many days of my life watching crap.

[21:23] I'm sacrificing it so that you can have entertainment, so that you can have the fun of, of hearing

[21:29] things that you don't need to watch to learn about them, so you can have a warning and

[21:33] so that you can have recommendations of things you might like.

[21:37] Please don't make this, the time I spent watching Airplane Two, the sequel, be a total waste

[21:41] that I regret on my deathbed.

[21:43] Please go to MaximumFun.org slash join and support us.

[21:46] I see your children in the background getting older as you speak.

[21:50] All these precious moments you've missed.

[21:52] My son was taking his first steps while we were recording this, so I hope you're fucking

[21:57] happy.

[21:58] Yeah.

[21:59] Elliot, one of your children is wearing a shirt that says college on the front of it.

[22:03] Your child is Jim Belushi.

[22:04] That's my son Jim, yeah.

[22:05] He's got some problems, but I think I haven't been able to give him the parenting he needs,

[22:10] but I think he'll be fine.

[22:11] He'll be fine, yeah.

[22:12] Do you think Jim Belushi dresses up as, wears a college sweatshirt around?

[22:15] For sure.

[22:16] That's me.

[22:17] I'm the guy from this poster.

[22:18] I mean, probably not now he doesn't.

[22:21] No, John Belushi doesn't tend to do that now.

[22:23] Yeah.

[22:24] No, I'm talking about Jim Belushi.

[22:25] Jim Belushi dresses up like his brother and says, yeah, that's me, yeah, yeah, sure.

[22:30] While watching Airplane 2-

[22:31] Remember this, I'm taking care of business, you know.

[22:33] While I was doing the dishes and watching Airplane 2, there were times when my son was

[22:36] like, hey, dad, want to do a puzzle with me?

[22:38] Dad want to play Dominion?

[22:39] And I was like, I can't, I got to do this thing.

[22:42] So please, please make my son's trauma worthwhile.

[22:45] Sorry, your dad needs to watch Robert Hadwicke for a little bit.

[22:51] Last lyrics of Cats in the Cradle.

[22:52] About Robert Hadwicke.

[22:53] Yeah, yeah.

[22:54] Julie Haggerty and Robert, who's the main guy?

[22:57] And I said to him, son, I'd love to play with you, but I got to watch Airplane 2, son.

[23:02] I got to watch Airplane 2.

[23:05] Yeah.

[23:06] Oh, so sad.

[23:07] So sad.

[23:08] Well, Elliot sang something.

[23:09] Well, my son, grown up, started a podcast.

[23:14] I wanted to be on it, but he never asked.

[23:16] He said, hey, son, when could we talk a while?

[23:20] He said, I can't.

[23:21] He said, dad, that would be cool, but I got to tell you, I got to watch Airplane Mode,

[23:26] dad.

[23:27] 2019 sequel to Airplane 2 that I learned about while recording about Airplane 2, dad.

[23:32] Dan's got the turn signal on.

[23:33] He's making his way toward the rest stop.

[23:35] I think we're about to, yeah, let's bring this in for a landing for the Flophouse contingent

[23:45] of this crossover.

[23:47] I've been Dan McCoy.

[23:48] Hey, I've been Stuart Wellington.

[23:49] I've been Elliot Kalen.

[23:51] I've been Ben Harrison.

[23:52] Sorry about the 20 minute advertisement in your feed.

[23:56] I'm still Adam Pranica.

[23:59] Bye.

[24:00] Bye.
