FH Mini 68 - Oops All Nuts

[0:00] Hey everyone, welcome to the Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy.

Elliott Kalan

[0:07] I'm Stuart Wellington.

[0:08] And I'm Elliot Kalin. Join us, won't you, on a journey of self-discovery that we call the Flophouse Mini.

Dan McCoy

[0:17] Wow, thanks. Yeah, yeah, this is a mini episode, which means it's marginally shorter than a normal episode.

[0:23] In a regular episode, we watch a bad movie and we talk about it.

[0:26] And then in our off weeks, every other week, we just do whatever we want.

[0:31] And guys, boy, did I take that note to the Flophouse idea bank.

[0:38] Oh, you're driving this one, huh?

[0:39] I started that sentence without knowing where I was headed.

[0:42] Yeah, my idea here, of course, as you know, it's November.

[0:47] And in opposition to No Nut November, I have...

[0:54] Love this.

[0:55] I have an episode called Oops All Nuts, which is...

[0:59] I'm saying it's sponsored by...

Elliott Kalan

[1:00] We're going to jack off the entire episode.

[1:03] Sponsored by masturbation.

[1:05] Get started. Stuart's halfway there.

Dan McCoy

[1:06] Sponsored by masturbation.

[1:08] Just do it. Don't feel weird about it.

[1:10] No Nut November is tied to weird toxic attitudes.

[1:12] Don't feel weird about it.

Elliott Kalan

[1:14] Plus, there's like...

[1:15] Who's it hurting?

[1:16] Other than you if you do it too much.

[1:18] Yeah, man.

[1:19] I mean, like, it might hurt...

Dan McCoy

[1:20] Yeah, if you're, like, foregoing doing important things for it, then maybe, you know, dial it back a bit.

[1:25] Oh, I just meant...

Elliott Kalan

[1:26] Just do it.

[1:27] It leads to chafing sometimes.

[1:28] But that's what lotion is for.

Stuart Wellington

[1:29] I mean, 100% my favorite, like, TikToks are the ones where it's just like a serious-looking dude staring off, like, off, like, a pier somewhere.

[1:38] And the text overlay is all, like, the benefits of not jacking off.

[1:42] And I'm like, what?

Dan McCoy

[1:45] Is that what he's thinking about?

[1:47] They don't exist.

[1:48] They have it here.

[1:48] Scientific studies say regular sexual activity lowers the risk for prostate cancer, improves memory, sleep, and immune cell function, and reduces inflammation and the risk of heart disease.

[1:59] So, I say...

[2:00] Wait, did we have...

[2:00] Not all you want.

Elliott Kalan

[2:01] Did we have a...

[2:02] Is this a promotional spot for sexual behavior?

[2:05] No, I'm just saying...

[2:06] I guess.

[2:06] Because I will say this.

[2:08] If you don't masturbate, if gravity turned off by accident, there would be more sperm in your testicles, which would help weigh you down back on the earth and keep you from floating into outer space.

Dan McCoy

[2:17] You've changed my tune.

[2:19] No way.

[2:20] Never again.

[2:21] No, I mean, it's mostly just a hook to hang the hat of this weird premise I'm going to introduce.

[2:29] Sorry, that's just for men.

Elliott Kalan

[2:30] Women, keep masturbating.

[2:32] It won't affect your anti-gravity on you at all.

[2:34] Just go ahead.

[2:34] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[2:35] Yeah.

[2:35] Thanks.

[2:36] Thank you, Allie.

[2:37] Thanks for interrupting.

[2:38] I want to be inclusive.

[2:38] As I, again, try and get into the premise of the bit.

[2:42] Sure, yeah.

[2:44] Yeah.

[2:45] Oops All Nuts is what it is.

[2:47] And we're going to talk about some movies with the word nut in the title.

[2:51] And we're going to answer a couple questions.

[2:54] Number one, have any of us seen these movies?

[2:58] And number two, if we haven't, does it seem like, A, something you'd go nutty for?

[3:04] Or do you think it sounds not so good?

[3:07] So, I love that.

Elliott Kalan

[3:10] I was worried you weren't going to have themed responses, but I'm glad you do.

Dan McCoy

[3:14] If you don't know me by now, Elliot.

[3:16] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[3:16] I wonder how many Advil Dan had to take after stressing his brain out coming up with those puns.

Elliott Kalan

[3:28] We're going to find Dan's secret notebook of jokes that were rejected at his day job.

[3:33] And it's going to be like, oops, all nuts crossed out.

Dan McCoy

[3:37] Well, that's after years and years of one of Elliot's and mine main jobs as writers of The Daily Show.

[3:43] Well, not main, but most frequent jobs coming up with over-the-shoulder puns.

[3:47] My brain just works this way.

[3:49] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[3:49] It was a daily occurrence.

[3:51] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[3:51] Okay.

[3:52] So, first off, one of the more famous films with nut in the title, it's The Nut Job from 2014.

[3:58] Rated PG.

[4:00] Starring the voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, Katherine Heigl, Stephen Lang, and Maya Rudolph.

[4:06] And here's the –

[4:07] Wow.

Stuart Wellington

[4:09] Stephen Lang got some pride in place in Dan's intonation.

[4:12] Yeah.

[4:12] Stephen Lang before Maya Rudolph, too.

[4:14] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[4:14] Well, it was kind of a – well, those are the credit order.

[4:17] But it was kind of a one of these things are not like the other intonation.

[4:22] Avatar Stephen Lang?

[4:24] Mm-hmm.

[4:24] Here's the IMDb synopsis.

[4:29] It goes, an incorrigibly self-serving exiled squirrel finds himself helping his former park brethren survive by raiding a nut store,

[4:38] a location that also happens to be a front for a human gang's bank robbery.

[4:42] So, we got some cross-purpose heists and animal heists and human heists.

[4:47] A few facts.

[4:48] It's the most expensive animated movie co-produced in South Korea.

[4:51] Oh, okay.

[4:52] And the director of the nut job's most recent movie is an animated film from 2017 titled No Malone.

[5:01] So, what do you guys think?

[5:02] What do you think?

[5:02] What has the sound to you?

Stuart Wellington

[5:03] Is No Malone when Post Malone doesn't show up for a gang?

Elliott Kalan

[5:07] That was my question.

[5:09] Is it about a gnome was alone or is it that there's no Malones available?

[5:12] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[5:14] No, it's Gnome Space Alone.

[5:18] Is that part of the Gnomeo and Juliet series of films?

[5:21] No, but I will tell you that I went – there was a – I saw that this movie existed when I was looking at an alternate idea based on all of our gnome named Norm talk,

[5:32] which was movies with gnomes.

Elliott Kalan

[5:35] I was wondering, is the gnome and gnome alone named Norm?

[5:39] But at this point, I'm going to guess the answer is no.

Dan McCoy

[5:42] No, he's named Gnorm apparently.

Elliott Kalan

[5:44] Somebody on Twitter was sure to correct me that the character does pronounce his name Gnorm and I was like, look, I don't know.

[5:49] I thought I made it very clear that this was not a movie I had personal experience with.

Stuart Wellington

[5:53] I'm pretty sure there was four guys talking about a movie they'd never seen and just Googling images.

Dan McCoy

[6:00] That seems accurate.

Stuart Wellington

[6:01] Okay, so the nut job.

[6:02] I have not seen the nut job.

[6:04] It's an animated movie for children?

Dan McCoy

[6:08] Yes, and Elliot, this would make it the most in your wheelhouse having children.

[6:12] Yeah.

[6:12] I don't know whether you've ever had the nut job.

[6:13] I have not seen it.

[6:14] What year did it come out?

[6:16] 2014.

Elliott Kalan

[6:17] So that was the year that my older son was born and so I managed to avoid all the children's movies that came out that year.

[6:23] But if you have any questions about the Hotel Transylvania series, I can now answer that for you.

Dan McCoy

[6:28] Because certainly movies expire after one year and there's no way that a child would ever see a movie.

[6:34] Made before he was born.

Elliott Kalan

[6:36] In my house, they're either going to watch a movie that is 80 years before they were born or they're going to watch a movie from this year.

[6:42] Nothing else.

[6:42] Fair enough.

Stuart Wellington

[6:43] So the Hotel Transylvania movies, are they more or less horny than the Munsters movie that we just watched?

Elliott Kalan

[6:51] I mean, less, I suppose.

Dan McCoy

[6:55] Although, there were a lot of people on the internet who were apparently horny for the Invisible Man and mad that he was revealed.

Elliott Kalan

[7:01] Yes, they were very unhappy when they found out that the character who wears glasses and sounds like David Spade was not a Jack Skellington sort of goth emo hunk when it was revealed what he looks like.

[7:11] Oh, that's too bad.

[7:13] But anyway, so I have not seen The Nut Job.

[7:17] And what were my categories?

[7:20] It sounds like something I would go nutty for.

[7:21] Yeah, before you nutrageously avoid it.

Dan McCoy

[7:28] I just want to say it has a 37 on Metacritic.

[7:32] 37.

[7:33] Ooh.

[7:33] Okay.

[7:34] Does it seem like something you'd go nutty for or do you think it sounds not so good?

Stuart Wellington

[7:40] Well, with a 37 on Metacritic, I think I might be into it, actually.

Elliott Kalan

[7:44] Well, I should let you know on Nutacritic, it gets 100%.

[7:48] Oh, interesting.

[7:49] That's critics who specialize in movies about nuts.

[7:50] Yeah.

[7:50] Okay.

[7:51] Well, let's move on.

[7:52] I'm going to say that it's not Nut in my wheelhouse.

[7:56] Not in your wheelhouse.

[7:56] Was that it?

[7:57] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[7:59] The next film with nut in the title we got here is 2017's The Taste of Betel Nut.

[8:06] Not rated.

[8:07] It's from Hong Kong.

[8:08] Okay.

[8:09] A film with, as far as I can tell, no Wikipedia page, in case anyone wants to work on that.

Elliott Kalan

[8:15] Is this the one where when you say Betel Nut, Betel Nut, Betel Nut, the taste appears in your mouth?

Dan McCoy

[8:20] Uh-huh.

[8:21] This one, the summary, and I apologize if I mispronounce anything, but Lee Ki works for a dolphin show.

[8:30] His friend Rin Yu works karaoke on the beach along the coast where they live.

[8:35] When a young woman, Bai Ling, joins the two men, a three-way relationship seems possible.

[8:41] A man do it.

[8:41] Together.

[8:42] Together, they set out to test the limitations of a restrictive society and their own sexuality.

[8:49] But a shocking event that rocks them to the core will have a deep and lasting effect on them.

[8:54] And as I said, no Wikipedia page, but I will provide the background that Betel Nut is actually a type of berry that is chewed widely across Asia with effects similar to nicotine.

[9:07] And also similar to nicotine, it has a litany of negative health effects on nearly every part of your body.

[9:13] Oh, great.

[9:13] So if you're not already chewing Betel Nut, maybe don't start.

[9:17] The description of the movie –

Elliott Kalan

[9:18] I think it makes your teeth really brown, I think.

Stuart Wellington

[9:20] Yeah.

[9:20] The description of the movie kind of sounds like Ito Mama Tambien, but it has a dolphin show, so it's got to be better, right?

Elliott Kalan

[9:28] Yeah, because it's like Ito Mama Tambien with Zeus and Roxanne thrown in.

[9:32] I mean, it sounds like Ito Mama Tambien with a little bit of burning, and those are both really good movies.

[9:39] So, yeah, you know what?

[9:41] You'll go nutty for it?

[9:43] I'll go nutty for it.

[9:44] I was like –

[9:44] You'll nut all over it?

[9:45] Let's go nutty.

[9:46] Well, I'll nuts and bolts to the theater to see it.

[9:49] I couldn't remember the category.

[9:51] Okay.

Dan McCoy

[9:53] Stuart, you always said you were into it as soon as you heard that there was a –

[9:56] A dolphin show and a threesome.

[9:59] Yeah.

[10:00] Okay, well, here's a movie.

[10:02] You know, as we go further back in time, I feel like there's more and more chance that Elliot will have seen one of these.

[10:10] Not that they're all in chronological order, but this one is a little older.

[10:14] This is from 1969.

[10:16] Perfect for Elliot.

[10:17] Yeah.

[10:18] It bears in –

Elliott Kalan

[10:19] That's my favorite number in it, 19.

[10:21] An M rating.

Dan McCoy

[10:24] Ooh.

[10:25] And the title is Some Kind of a Nut.

[10:28] And the description is,

[10:30] In this comedy satire on conformity, Dick Van Dyke plays a Manhattan bank teller who grows a beard when he develops a rash from a bee sting.

[10:39] He is promptly fired from his job while his coworkers stand behind him.

[10:44] And that, again, stars Dick Van Dyke, Angie Dickinson as his wife, and Rosemary Forsyth.

[10:51] Written and directed by Garson Kanin, who wrote Born Yesterday, and Adam's Rib, and directed My Favorite Wife,

[10:57] as well as doing work on the screenplay.

[10:59] So that is some kind of a nut from 69.

Elliott Kalan

[11:04] Mm-hmm.

[11:04] I have not seen that one.

[11:06] I haven't seen it.

[11:07] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[11:08] This one – you know, I mean, I'm supposed to be the sort of impartial moderator of this whole –

[11:14] Yeah, but it's hard.

Elliott Kalan

[11:14] And you've been doing a great job keeping your objectivity.

Dan McCoy

[11:18] This is maybe towards the top of the list of movies on this that I'm kind of curious about now.

[11:24] The idea of Dick Van Dyke in a satire about conformity.

[11:28] My guess is that –

Stuart Wellington

[11:29] He grows a beard because he gets stung by a bug?

[11:32] What was the –

Dan McCoy

[11:33] Yeah, he gets stung by a bee.

[11:35] Or he gets a – yeah, he gets a rash, grows a beard to cover it up, and then he's fired,

[11:42] presumably because now he looks like one of these newfangled hippies.

Elliott Kalan

[11:45] Yeah.

[11:45] That's my guess.

[11:46] This is a movie that – it sounds like there's a lot of potential, but the late 60s especially

[11:50] were a time when there was a lot of kind of lugubrious comedy.

[11:55] Yeah.

[11:55] With older people trying to kind of grapple with the way young people do things.

[11:59] So I'm worried it might be one of those.

[12:01] And at some point, Dick Van Dyke's going to go to like some kind of hippie rave and a band

[12:06] that was – that had like a one-hit wonder career at the time got hired to do it,

[12:11] and there'll just be a scene of them playing while young women dance.

[12:15] And Dick Van Dyke kind of dances in a goofy way and looks like confused and bizarre about

[12:19] what's going on, like bewildered.

[12:20] I'm worried that scene's going to happen with a lot of flashing colors and lights and things

[12:24] like that.

[12:24] But maybe it doesn't.

Stuart Wellington

[12:25] Do you dislike that kind of scene because you fear that someday you'll be the Dick Van

[12:31] Dyke in that scene?

[12:32] I mean –

[12:32] Surrounded by young people dancing and –

Elliott Kalan

[12:35] I'm feeling bewildered.

[12:36] I've always been the Dick Van Dyke in that scene.

[12:37] Even when I was a young person, I was the Dick Van Dyke in that scene.

[12:40] But it's more that the – there's a lot of those movies that's

[12:44] one of those movies at the time where an older person is kind of confused by young people

[12:48] and that's played for laughs.

[12:50] And then they're like, this is the funniest thing that's ever existed.

[12:54] Let's have the scene go on for 17 and a half minutes.

[12:58] Yeah.

[12:58] You know.

[12:58] Yes.

[12:58] It's the same thing that happens with comedy car chases a lot of the time where they're

[13:03] like, you know what's funny?

[13:05] Cars kind of sliding around and bumping into each other.

[13:08] Let's have that happen forever.

[13:10] We'll call it The Blues Brothers.

Dan McCoy

[13:11] Now, Elliot, I know the sort of late 60s movie and movie scene you're talking about and I

[13:16] know the lugubrious pacing you're talking about.

[13:19] The lugubrious pacing is really the problem.

[13:23] I will – because I will say that while a modern, you know, show doing a thing where

[13:29] they're like, oh, aren't kids weird these days?

[13:32] Generation gap shrug.

[13:34] Like that would anger me but I am charmed by seeing like films from earlier generations

[13:39] where out of it adults make fun of with it teens.

Elliott Kalan

[13:44] I guess so.

[13:46] Yeah.

[13:46] I could see that.

[13:47] Sure.

Dan McCoy

[13:48] So what do you guys say though?

[13:50] Are you –

[13:51] I mean I'm on board.

[13:54] Are you nuts to butts for this one or are you –

[13:55] Nut it up.

Stuart Wellington

[13:56] I'm on board.

[13:56] Nut it up.

[13:57] Okay.

[13:58] I'm going to say nut for me on this one.

[14:01] Okay.

Dan McCoy

[14:02] So for the last film before our break for our sponsors –

Elliott Kalan

[14:08] Which better be fucking planners or some shit.

[14:12] Our sponsor day which is –

[14:14] Oh, no.

[14:15] The peanut allergy safety council.

Dan McCoy

[14:18] Well, no.

[14:19] Peanuts are a legume so we're safe.

[14:22] Oh, great.

[14:22] Good.

[14:23] Thank you.

[14:24] So of course –

[14:25] Yeah, that's what I'm most worried about.

[14:26] The legumerious pace of these movies.

[14:30] So you know that – you knew that this had to be on here from 1987.

[14:35] It's a little film called –

[14:36] Wait, wait.

[14:36] Actually –

[14:36] Wait.

[14:37] Rated R.

Elliott Kalan

[14:38] After you mention nuts, I'll complain about – I have a complaint about legumes.

[14:42] Okay.

[14:42] Which is people go, you know –

[14:43] Lay it on me.

[14:43] You know a peanut's not actually – they go, you know a peanut's not actually a nut.

[14:46] It's a legume.

[14:47] As if I'm supposed to know what the fuck a legume is.

[14:49] To be.

[14:50] Like I just go around knowing what legumes are all the time.

Stuart Wellington

[14:52] Yeah, because it's weird for you to just wander around spouting facts.

Elliott Kalan

[14:57] I'm just saying the idea that I'm supposed to be like, oh, it was a legume this whole time.

[15:01] Oh.

[15:01] As if I have any –

[15:01] As if I have any content for legumes other than a peanut being it.

[15:05] Yeah, exactly.

[15:06] You know.

[15:06] I need to amend my will.

[15:09] When people go like, a tomato is not a vegetable but a fruit.

[15:12] I'm like, I've heard it before but I know what fruit is.

[15:14] I know what vegetable is.

[15:14] It makes sense.

[15:15] A legume, I don't know.

[15:17] I only know it in terms of peanuts being it surprisingly.

Stuart Wellington

[15:20] When they're like, Elliot, tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable.

[15:24] And Elliot's like, I wasn't going to eat that shit anyway.

Elliott Kalan

[15:28] Get it away from me.

Dan McCoy

[15:29] Okay.

[15:30] Well, the air of that –

Elliott Kalan

[15:31] Give me an onion so I can just take a bite out of it.

Dan McCoy

[15:32] Yeah.

[15:33] Well, the air of that announcement was only let out a little bit by Elliot's bean rant.

[15:39] Yeah.

[15:39] This is not from 1987.

Elliott Kalan

[15:41] Elliot's a real bean dad.

[15:43] I am – only in that I'm a dad and me and my family love to eat beans.

[15:47] That's the only – otherwise, nothing in common.

[15:50] The plot of nuts.

Dan McCoy

[15:51] Hashtag not all bean dads.

[15:53] The plot of nuts is thus.

[15:55] It goes thusly.

[15:56] A high-class call girl accused of murder fights for the right to stay in trial rather than be declared mentally incompetent.

[16:04] Is that what nuts is about?

[16:06] Yeah.

[16:06] And look at this.

[16:06] Listen to this cast.

[16:07] You got Barbara Streisand.

[16:09] Great.

[16:10] Richard Dreyfuss.

[16:11] Maureen Stapleton.

[16:12] Eli Wallach.

[16:13] Those are the top four.

[16:15] Did you say Eli Wallach?

[16:17] Eli Wallach is in it.

[16:18] Oh, wow.

[16:19] It's based on an off-Broadway play by Tom Topor.

[16:23] Not Torpor, as I originally thought.

Stuart Wellington

[16:26] So he's not a vampire who has taken too much damage and instead of dying, falls into this weird fugue state that's called Torpor.

Elliott Kalan

[16:34] And he's not Topor, the star of Fiddler on the Roof.

Dan McCoy

[16:36] No, it's Tom Topor who also wrote The Accused.

[16:40] And this one's directed by Martin Ritt of The Long Hot Summer, HUD, Ombre, Norma Ray, and other films.

[16:47] Sure, yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[16:48] Is he related to the Ritt clothing or hair dye company?

[16:53] It's hair dye, right?

[16:54] Well, how is it spelled?

[16:56] How is that spelled?

[16:57] I'd have to – I don't know.

[16:59] I didn't know this was a spelling show.

[17:00] Well, you know, have your research in front of you before you ask a question.

Elliott Kalan

[17:03] Dan, is Martin Ritt –

[17:05] Yes, you're right.

Elliott Kalan

[17:05] Yeah, fair point, counselor.

[17:07] Is Martin Ritt related to Ritt F. Habeas Corpus?

Dan McCoy

[17:11] Yeah.

[17:12] That famous character.

Elliott Kalan

[17:13] That's the name of like a Dick Tracy side character.

[17:16] So, a little trivia.

[17:18] Ritt Dye is spelled R-I-T.

[17:21] Oh, no, Martin Ritt spells his name of two T's, right?

[17:24] Yeah.

[17:24] Much like a certain Elliot Kalin.

[17:26] Two T's, you and I, me and Martin Ritt.

[17:28] Brothers of two T's, we're two T brothers.

[17:32] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[17:32] You're a real T.T. boy.

[17:34] Yeah.

[17:35] It's like T.T. Barnum said, there's no such thing as bad publicity T.T.

Dan McCoy

[17:41] A few facts.

[17:43] A few facts about –

Elliott Kalan

[17:45] There's a sucker born every minute.

[17:47] That's what T.T. Barnum said.

Dan McCoy

[17:49] This is Carl Malden's final film.

[17:52] It's also Leslie Nielsen's final dramatic film role.

[17:56] The next year he started –

[17:56] Before he became a creature of pure parody.

[17:59] And, yes, never looked back.

[18:01] And also, Barbara Babs Streisand got $5 million to appear in this film,

[18:07] which is the highest salary for an actress up until that point for nuts.

[18:11] Oh, yeah.

[18:11] Get that bag, honey.

[18:13] Big hit movie Nuts based on a play.

Elliott Kalan

[18:18] I'll tell you why I'm curious to see this movie.

[18:20] Have you seen Nuts?

[18:20] I've never seen it, but I do remember seeing the commercials for Nuts airing on WPAX,

[18:25] Channel 11, New York's movie station when I was a kid,

[18:28] and thinking it must be a comedy because it's called Nuts.

[18:31] Yeah.

[18:32] So, I'm very curious to see it.

[18:34] It's one of these movies from the –

[18:35] I feel like there's a lot of movies from the 80s that I never saw

[18:38] because I wasn't old enough to see them at the time,

[18:40] and they just never got around to them later.

[18:42] Yeah.

[18:43] And I've been slowly catching up on that.

[18:45] So, yeah, I would go to see Nuts.

[18:47] Yeah, you're like a robot cop.

[18:49] Okay.

[18:51] Only in Detroit, I guess.

Dan McCoy

[18:54] This is another one of the top ones on this list that I'm actually kind of curious about,

[18:58] both for the, of course, top-notch cast and also –

[19:00] The cast.

Elliott Kalan

[19:01] Top-nuts cast.

[19:02] Top-nuts cast.

Dan McCoy

[19:04] Also, to flashback to a time when actors were highly paid for starring in courtroom dramas.

[19:13] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[19:14] So, what other characters do they reveal in the end credit scenes

[19:17] that then go on to be in the sequels?

[19:20] I don't know what bit you're doing.

[19:22] Oh, okay.

[19:23] I see.

[19:23] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[19:24] Because that's the kind of movie actors get paid a lot of money for now

[19:26] is to play a character who showed up in a few books in the 1960s,

[19:30] and now that's the only characters left.

[19:33] Is Pip the Troll in it?

[19:37] I mean, Pip the Troll's a great character.

[19:39] Anyone from the Starlin world is a great character.

Dan McCoy

[19:40] You know, this isn't really a spoiler.

[19:44] It's a don't bother to stick around.

[19:46] There's no very end of the post-credits scene in Wakanda forever,

[19:51] and I was so relieved.

Elliott Kalan

[19:52] I was like, yeah, sure, why not?

[19:54] Oh, cool.

[19:54] There's just like a middle-of-the-credits scene?

Dan McCoy

[19:58] There's shortly after the beginning of the credits,

[20:00] we pop back for a little bit of something.

Stuart Wellington

[20:02] Is it Pip the Troll?

Dan McCoy

[20:05] No, Pip the Troll is nowhere to be seen.

Stuart Wellington

[20:08] Oh.

[20:08] Okay, spoiler, everybody.

[20:10] Make sure we put the spoiler tag up front on this episode.

Dan McCoy

[20:13] Yeah, spoiler, no Pip the Troll in Wakanda forever.

[20:15] No pips.

Elliott Kalan

[20:16] This is rated NP for no pips.

[20:19] But I feel like that's a mercy on the audience

[20:22] because that movie is like two hours and 40 minutes long, right?

[20:25] Mm-hmm.

[20:25] Wakanda forever, I haven't seen it yet.

[20:27] I'll tell you, the only parts.

[20:28] Feels like it, right?

[20:29] Well, the only parts.

[20:30] Feels like forever.

[20:31] No.

[20:32] Man, what is Wakanda forever?

Dan McCoy

[20:34] Actually, the only parts I felt bored during Wakanda forever

[20:37] were the standard issue pre-vis Marvel fight scenes

[20:41] that were just as boring as they have been.

[20:43] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[20:44] Every time I see the poster,

[20:46] I can't stop thinking about that fucking tweet

[20:48] about Ruth Kanda forever,

[20:50] and it both makes me happy

[20:52] and makes me want to die forever.

[20:54] That was horrible.

[20:55] Yeah.

[22:25] If you're listening to a podcast

[22:27] that's riffing on No Nut November

[22:34] You sound like a pretty hip person.

Stuart Wellington

[23:28] my, what, stash?

[23:32] Yeah, you know the lingos.

[23:34] Yep.

[23:35] I gotta pass with these cool kids.

Elliott Kalan

[23:38] Hey, Dan,

[23:39] Dan, do you want to hear

[23:39] my new slogan

[23:40] for Microdose Gummies?

[23:41] Yeah.

[23:41] Hey, can I have some of Do's?

[23:43] Do's what?

[23:44] Microdose Gummies.

Stuart Wellington

[23:46] Oh, fuck.

[23:48] Oh, man.

[23:49] You should have checked with them

Elliott Kalan

[23:49] to see if you get paid extra.

[23:51] Yeah, they wanted that.

[23:53] I know.

[23:54] My future is in advertising.

[23:56] Or should I say nutvertising?

[23:58] Dan, take us back

[23:58] to the nuts, shall we?

[24:00] Yeah.

[24:00] What a transition.

[24:01] The next title.

[24:03] Talk about a nut player.

[24:03] Who's this George Lucas?

[24:04] It's a segue for nuts.

Dan McCoy

[24:07] We return to one of the

[24:08] more recognizable titles

[24:09] on the list

[24:10] despite being

[24:11] a huge bomb.

[24:14] This film is from

[24:14] the peanut butter solution.

[24:16] Like 1994.

[24:17] It was called Mixed Nuts.

Elliott Kalan

[24:19] I figured Mixed Nuts

[24:20] was the one you were talking about.

[24:21] PG-13.

Dan McCoy

[24:23] What's the story of Mixed Nuts?

[24:24] I'm glad you asked.

[24:25] Philip runs a crisis hotline

[24:27] with Catherine

[24:28] and Mrs. Munchnick.

[24:30] I don't know

[24:31] if she's related to

[24:32] Munchnick

[24:33] from the

[24:34] but this is Munchnick, I guess.

[24:35] That's the easy part.

[24:36] Now it gets tricky.

[24:38] Ellis Island

Elliott Kalan

[24:38] changes all names.

Dan McCoy

[24:39] Yeah, yeah.

[24:40] Stanley loves evicting people

[24:42] and he evicts Philip.

[24:43] Philip loves helping people

[24:44] and he's loved by Catherine.

[24:46] Catherine is loved by Louis

[24:47] who loves writing songs.

[24:49] Chris loves dancing to songs

[24:51] and loves to wear large dresses.

[24:53] Gracie also loves

[24:54] to wear large dresses

[24:55] because she's pregnant.

[24:56] She loves the baby's father,

[24:58] Felix,

[24:58] who loves to paint.

[24:59] Dan, are you okay?

[25:00] That just leaves

[25:01] Mrs. Munchnick

[25:03] who hasn't been loved by anybody

[25:04] in a very long time.

[25:07] Whoever,

[25:08] whatever user of IMGb

[25:09] who wrote that,

[25:12] congratulations.

[25:13] this is a film directed

[25:14] by the queen of romantic comedy,

[25:16] Nora Ephron

[25:16] and co-written with her sister,

[25:19] Delia Ephron,

[25:20] starring Steve Martin,

[25:22] Madeline Kahn,

[25:23] Robert Klein,

[25:24] Anthony LaPaglia.

[25:26] Who else is in there?

[25:28] You got,

[25:28] what's his face?

[25:29] Heavy hitters.

[25:29] Gary Shandling.

[25:30] What's his face is in it.

[25:31] Oh.

[25:32] Adam Sandler,

[25:33] young Adam Sandler,

[25:34] many other notable comedians

[25:36] and stars.

[25:37] It had a box office

[25:38] of 6.8 million

[25:40] on a budget of 20 million.

[25:42] It's a remake

[25:43] of the French comedy

[25:44] La Père Noelle est une ordre.

[25:49] And it's Leah Schweitzer's

[25:50] What does that directly translate to, Dan?

[25:52] Well,

[25:52] Father Christmas is something, right?

[25:54] Yeah,

[25:55] Father Christmas is a something.

[25:57] I don't,

[25:57] let's look up what the...

[26:00] Throw that shit

[26:00] into Google Translate.

[26:02] Yeah,

[26:02] let's see.

[26:07] Wait, why?

[26:08] Okay.

[26:08] Okay, well Dan has trouble

[26:09] with Google Translate.

[26:10] I'll just say that

Elliott Kalan

[26:11] this is another one

[26:13] that I've never seen,

[26:14] but I'm curious about

[26:15] if only because

[26:16] it's one of those movies

[26:18] that has an amazing cast

[26:19] and yet,

[26:20] and I remember seeing ads for it

[26:21] and yet I've never heard

[26:22] anyone talk about it ever

[26:23] in the history of my life.

Stuart Wellington

[26:25] So...

[26:26] And I'm intrigued by

[26:27] flops of this era.

Elliott Kalan

[26:32] The mid-90s,

[26:33] early mid-90s.

Stuart Wellington

[26:33] Yeah,

[26:34] I mean,

[26:34] I guess they're kind of boring usually,

[26:37] but that's just

[26:38] because they don't have enough.

[26:39] They're not fast or furious

[26:40] enough for me.

[26:41] Guys, guys.

Elliott Kalan

[26:41] I think there's something

[26:41] about movies from that time

[26:43] because I grew up

[26:43] during that time

[26:44] where it's like,

[26:44] oh,

[26:44] it feels like coming home.

[26:46] Like movies from like

[26:47] the late 80s,

[26:47] early 90s,

[26:48] it's like,

[26:48] oh,

[26:48] this is,

[26:49] I can pull these on

[26:50] like an old pair

[26:51] of sweatpants,

[26:51] you know,

[26:52] like some cozy pajamas.

[26:53] Two legs at the same time.

[26:55] What I do is I put them

[26:57] on my sweatpants frame

[26:58] and then I jump into them.

[26:59] I climb on the bed

[27:00] and I jump into them

[27:01] into the pants

[27:02] off of that.

Dan McCoy

[27:02] Yeah,

[27:02] but now you got to shut up

[27:04] because this is a good payoff.

[27:06] The meaning is,

[27:07] quote,

[27:08] solid waste from the bowels

[27:10] of people or animals.

[27:11] So basically,

[27:12] Father Christmas is a shit

[27:14] is the...

[27:15] Oh,

[27:15] I see.

[27:17] So there you go.

Elliott Kalan

[27:18] That's a better title

[27:19] than Mixed Nuts,

[27:19] but it doesn't apply

[27:20] to the game,

[27:21] unfortunately.

[27:22] Yeah,

Dan McCoy

[27:22] that's true.

[27:23] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[27:23] Unless there's nuts

[27:24] in the shit.

Dan McCoy

[27:25] You never know.

[27:26] Sometimes.

[27:26] It could be.

Elliott Kalan

[27:28] They don't digest easily.

Dan McCoy

[27:29] You both were going to go nutty

[27:31] for Mixed Nuts

[27:31] is what I heard,

[27:32] I think.

[27:33] I think so,

[27:34] yeah.

[27:34] I feel like that's a good

[27:35] interpretation of what we just said.

[27:37] Okay.

[27:38] Well,

[27:39] you know,

[27:39] next up is a film

[27:40] from 1968.

[27:44] 2001,

[27:45] A Nut Odyssey.

Elliott Kalan

[27:47] This is a Soviet movie.

Stuart Wellington

[27:49] It's a nut,

[27:50] nut,

[27:51] nut,

[27:51] nut world.

[27:54] The nuts are coming.

[27:55] The nuts are coming.

Dan McCoy

[27:56] A Soviet film from 68.

[27:59] It's key words for genre

[28:02] on IMDb

[28:03] are comedy,

[28:04] romance,

[28:04] war film.

[28:06] And it's called...

[28:06] That's very...

[28:07] Only the Soviets can do that.

[28:09] It's called

[28:10] A Hard Little Nut.

[28:12] And the description is

[28:13] during World War II,

[28:15] two Soviet soldiers,

[28:16] man and woman,

[28:17] accidentally parachute

[28:18] into a Nazi camp.

[28:20] The film's title

[28:20] is a pun on the word

[28:22] nut in Russian,

[28:24] Orishek,

[28:25] as the lead character's

[28:26] last name is

[28:27] Orishekina.

[28:29] So,

[28:30] that's all the information

[28:31] I have on A Hard Little Nut.

[28:33] There's not a lot about it

[28:34] to be found.

[28:36] But,

[28:36] Elliot,

[28:37] this seems like,

[28:38] I don't know,

[28:39] I've got,

[28:39] fingers crossed,

[28:40] this sounds maybe

[28:41] up your alley.

Elliott Kalan

[28:42] It totally sounds up to me.

[28:43] I've never seen it.

[28:45] You know me

[28:45] when it comes to

[28:46] Eastern European movies.

[28:47] I know

[28:47] the former Czechoslovakia

[28:50] better than I know

[28:51] Russia when it comes to

[28:52] 60s comedies.

[28:53] But,

[28:53] yeah,

[28:54] it sounds super fun to me.

[28:56] I mean,

[28:57] it's got all the

[28:57] things you need

[28:59] for a comedy.

[29:00] You've got

[29:01] the horrific

[29:02] Soviet experience

[29:03] of World War II.

[29:04] You've got the phrase

[29:05] Nazi camp,

[29:06] which you can't go wrong

[29:07] with that in a comedy

[29:08] description.

[29:09] But,

[29:10] yeah,

[29:10] I think I'm going to

[29:11] have to try to find this

[29:11] somewhere.

Stuart Wellington

[29:12] Maybe when they say

[29:12] camp,

[29:13] they mean like

[29:14] a campground.

Elliott Kalan

[29:16] It's possible.

[29:16] Yeah,

[29:16] maybe it was summer camp.

[29:18] And,

Elliott Kalan

[29:18] you know,

[29:19] if there's a country

[29:19] that did humor well,

[29:21] it was the USSR,

[29:23] which I know

[29:23] is a collection

[29:24] of different states,

[29:24] different countries.

[29:25] I mean,

[29:26] it's not that far

[29:27] from Hogan's Heroes,

[29:28] right?

[29:28] No,

[29:29] that's true.

[29:29] And Hogan's Heroes,

[29:30] as everyone knows,

[29:30] is a laugh riot,

[29:32] a gut-pusting laugh riot

[29:33] that in no way

[29:35] makes light

[29:35] tastelessly

[29:37] of a particularly

[29:38] terrible time

[29:39] in human history.

[29:39] But I feel like

[29:40] I do want to see it.

[29:41] I'm just curious

[29:42] about it.

[29:43] Okay.

[29:44] Stuart,

[29:45] what do you...

[29:46] You know,

[29:46] there's going to be

[29:47] some scene

[29:48] where the Nazis

[29:49] are at some kind

[29:49] of hippie rave

[29:50] and there's a rock

[29:51] and roll band playing

[29:52] and there's like

[29:52] lots of young ladies

[29:53] dancing and flashing

[29:54] lights and colors

[29:55] and the Nazis are like,

[29:56] oh,

[29:57] what?

[29:57] And they're bewildered.

[29:58] You know,

[29:58] that happens.

[29:59] They're like,

Stuart Wellington

[29:59] groovy, baby.

[30:00] Uh-huh.

[30:01] Shagadelic.

[30:02] So,

[30:02] if it's going to be

[30:03] Shagadelic,

[30:03] I guess it's...

[30:05] I'm going nuts for it.

[30:08] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[30:09] Sounds like it.

[30:10] We're nuts for this one.

[30:11] Yeah.

[30:11] Here's another...

[30:13] Our second film

[30:14] that is based on a play.

[30:17] It's based on a...

[30:19] The 1925 play

[30:20] of the same name.

[30:21] It's called

[30:22] The Poor Nut,

[30:23] 1927.

[30:26] Synopsis,

[30:27] a shy botany student

[30:28] is infatuated

[30:29] with a girl

[30:30] but gives her

[30:31] the wrong impression

[30:32] of what he's really like.

[30:33] That could mean

[30:34] nearly anything.

[30:36] Yep.

[30:37] But that's...

[30:38] Your imagination

Stuart Wellington

[30:39] runs wild.

Dan McCoy

[30:40] Let him run wild.

[30:42] Directed by

[30:42] Richard Wallace

[30:43] of A Night to Remember

[30:45] starring Jack Mulhall,

[30:46] Charles Murray,

[30:48] and Gene Arthur

[30:49] and a little bit

[30:49] of trivia.

[30:50] This was Paul Kelly's

[30:51] last film before he was

[30:52] convicted of manslaughter

[30:54] and sent to prison

[30:55] in mid-1927.

[30:58] By the time it was released,

[30:59] Kelly was behind bars

[31:01] and distributors

[31:02] opted to remove

[31:03] Kelly's name

[31:03] from the credits

[31:04] even though he was

[31:05] featured in a prominent role.

[31:07] So...

[31:07] I gotta interrupt

Stuart Wellington

[31:09] and say

[31:09] thank you

[31:10] for allowing us

[31:10] to rightfully add

[31:12] the true crime tag

[31:13] to this episode.

[31:15] Finally.

[31:16] Mm-hmm.

[31:18] Yeah, so this sounds

[31:19] pretty good.

[31:20] Like, I love

[31:21] romantic comedies

[31:22] that also include science

[31:24] like Love Potion

[31:25] Number Nine

[31:25] and Hollow Man.

[31:26] So I'm into it.

[31:28] Wait, hold on.

[31:29] Wait a second.

Dan McCoy

[31:31] Stuart is...

[31:32] I've always

[31:33] started off the chair

[31:34] away from the...

[31:36] away from his microphone

[31:37] with like a little

[31:38] devil look at his face.

Elliott Kalan

[31:40] Stuart has wheeled

[31:41] out of camera range.

[31:45] Got him!

Dan McCoy

[31:46] Sounds pretty good.

[31:47] Okay, well,

[31:49] The Poor Nut.

[31:49] What do you think about this?

[31:50] Does this sound

[31:51] up your alley?

[31:52] It's about

[31:53] a botany student

[31:54] infatuated girl

[31:55] gives her the wrong impression

[31:57] of what he's really like.

[31:58] Yeah.

[31:59] I mean, who among us...

[32:00] I said nut to be missed.

[32:01] Who among us

[32:02] early in our

[32:03] romantic relationships

[32:04] maybe don't,

[32:06] you know,

[32:06] present the full truth

[32:07] of who we are

[32:07] as a person

[32:08] it's a relatable story.

Elliott Kalan

[32:11] Now, I...

[32:12] Yeah, it's true.

[32:13] We've all been there.

[32:14] We've all been botany students.

[32:15] He's making a hard sell

[32:16] over here.

[32:17] But give her a wrong impression

[32:18] of what we're really like.

[32:19] Guys, I bought some

Dan McCoy

[32:21] stock in the poor nut.

Elliott Kalan

[32:22] I gotta be awful

[32:24] of this.

[32:24] You're pushing that poor nut.

[32:25] You bought the stock

[32:26] before you learned

[32:27] about the Paul Kelly thing.

[32:28] Yeah.

[32:29] I will say,

[32:30] I'm looking it up now

[32:30] on IMDb.

[32:31] I'm not familiar with it,

[32:32] but I see Gene Arthur

[32:33] is listed as one

[32:34] of the cast members

[32:35] and I love Gene Arthur.

[32:36] Who doesn't?

[32:36] From Mr. Smith

[32:37] Goes to Washington,

[32:38] and Mr. Deeds

[32:39] Goes to Town,

[32:40] You Can't Take It With You.

[32:41] She's in lots of great stuff.

Stuart Wellington

[32:43] Is she related to Arthur,

[32:46] the guy who's stuck

[32:47] between a moon

[32:47] and New York City?

Elliott Kalan

[32:48] No, but she is related

[32:49] to Arthur the Aardvark

[32:51] from the children's book

[32:52] and television series.

[32:53] Did we ever get anyone

Dan McCoy

[32:55] to rescue Arthur

[32:56] with the jaws of life?

[32:58] Look, Dan,

Elliott Kalan

[32:59] that's what happens.

[33:00] Let this be a lesson

[33:01] to masturbators everywhere.

[33:02] The man didn't have enough

[33:03] semen weighing him down

[33:05] and now he's caught

[33:05] between the moon and the years.

[33:06] That's a good point.

[33:07] Yeah.

[33:07] There you go.

Dan McCoy

[33:09] Well, with that,

[33:10] we go to our final film

[33:12] of the night.

[33:14] This one's from 1935.

[33:16] Third film adapted

[33:17] from a play

[33:18] of the same name.

Stuart Wellington

[33:19] Well, Elliot is drooling

[33:21] when you said 1935.

[33:22] He's like,

[33:23] I can't wait.

Elliott Kalan

[33:24] I was like the wolf

[33:25] in the Tex Avery cartoons.

[33:27] Tongue lolled out,

[33:28] head turned into a steam whistle.

[33:29] It's called

Dan McCoy

[33:30] The Nut Farm.

[33:32] It stars Wallace Ford

[33:33] and Betty Alden

[33:34] and is directed by

[33:35] George Wagoner

[33:36] of The Fighting Kentuckian

[33:38] and The Wolfman.

[33:39] The synopsis is

[33:41] Bob and Helen

[33:42] decide to move to California

[33:44] and make a fresh start.

[33:45] Bob wants to buy

[33:46] a nut farm,

[33:48] but Helen dreams

[33:50] of being in the movies.

[33:52] While Bob is looking

[33:53] for a farm to buy,

[33:55] Helen is taken in

[33:56] by a group of scam artists

[33:57] who promise

[33:57] to make her a star.

[33:59] Helen's brother,

[34:00] Willie,

[34:01] tries to prevent her

[34:02] and Bob

[34:02] from losing all their money

[34:04] to the scam artists.

[34:06] That's the nut farm.

Stuart Wellington

[34:07] I do like the introduction

[34:08] of Willie late in the game

[34:10] on that description.

Dan McCoy

[34:12] I was surprised

[34:13] I was reading it.

[34:14] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[34:15] So.

Elliott Kalan

[34:16] It was a real twist.

[34:19] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[34:19] So, you know,

[34:20] if people can buy a zoo,

[34:21] they might as well

[34:22] buy a fucking nut farm.

[34:23] So, I'm in.

[34:24] Yeah.

[34:25] Nut farm is a good start.

[34:26] We can make pencils

Stuart Wellington

[34:26] out of nuts.

Dan McCoy

[34:27] We might as well

[34:28] buy a whole farm

[34:29] of those nuts

[34:30] to make a bunch of pencils.

[34:32] I mean,

[34:33] I drink milk

[34:33] made out of nut

[34:34] all the time.

[34:37] Let's go into

[34:37] the pencil biz.

Elliott Kalan

[34:39] You know?

[34:39] I got,

[34:40] the only problem is

[34:41] I had a nut farm

[34:42] briefly

[34:42] and unfortunately

[34:43] the nutcracker

[34:45] showed up

[34:45] and that guy

[34:46] and his whole army,

[34:47] they just wrecked

[34:48] all my nuts

[34:48] and I was like,

[34:49] I had to call in

[34:50] a rat king

[34:51] to get him to leave

[34:52] and it was a whole deal.

[34:53] It was a whole ordeal.

[34:54] And I have a nut farm

Dan McCoy

[34:55] allergy.

[34:56] Not to nuts,

[34:57] but as soon as

[34:58] they're gathered together

[34:59] agriculturally.

Elliott Kalan

[35:00] Yeah,

[35:00] to the agricultural

[35:01] techniques that

[35:02] raise such a crop.

[35:04] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[35:06] Well,

[35:06] what do you guys think?

[35:07] Are you going to go

[35:08] nuts for nuts?

[35:10] I'm definitely

[35:11] going to go nuts for the...

[35:12] Are you nuts,

[35:12] the numeral for nuts?

[35:14] I'm going to say,

Stuart Wellington

[35:15] I'm going to say

[35:16] nut without my daughter.

[35:17] Let me at that movie.

Elliott Kalan

[35:20] I'm going to say

[35:20] nut thing

[35:21] will keep me

[35:22] from seeing

[35:23] the nut farm.

[35:24] It's got Wallace Ford in it.

Dan McCoy

[35:25] Nothing compares to you,

[35:26] you being the nut farm.

Elliott Kalan

[35:29] Wallace Ford

[35:29] is a cast member,

[35:31] a supporting cast member

[35:32] of my second favorite movie

[35:33] of all time,

[35:34] Shadow of a Doubt.

[35:35] So,

[35:35] yeah,

[35:36] I'm going to have to see

[35:37] maybe the nut farm

[35:38] also has the

[35:39] spine-tingling thrills

[35:40] that one of Hitchcock's

[35:41] great under-heralded

[35:43] masterpieces

[35:43] also possesses

[35:44] because it's got

[35:45] the same actor in it.

[35:47] Yeah,

[35:47] it's probably the same.

[35:48] Now,

[35:49] what if,

[35:49] now,

[35:49] Dan,

[35:50] if you had to choose

[35:51] one of these movies

[35:53] to be mashed together

[35:55] with another one

[35:56] of these movies,

[35:57] which would it be?

Dan McCoy

[35:58] In some sort of

[35:59] nut butter?

Elliott Kalan

[35:59] Like a nut medley

[36:02] or a paste.

[36:03] Exactly,

[36:03] yeah,

[36:04] to mush it into

[36:04] a butter or a paste,

[36:05] yeah.

Dan McCoy

[36:06] Oh,

[36:07] well,

[36:07] I mean,

[36:08] like,

[36:09] in a sort of

[36:09] a culinary way

[36:11] or as a movie?

[36:12] As a movie.

[36:14] Okay,

[36:14] because I feel like

[36:15] culinarily,

[36:16] you want to have

[36:16] the mixed nuts in there

[36:17] no matter what

[36:18] because you're getting

[36:18] a wide variety.

[36:19] I would argue

Stuart Wellington

[36:21] whichever variety

[36:22] is a more fertile vein

[36:23] for improv comedy.

Dan McCoy

[36:28] Let's see.

[36:29] You know what?

[36:30] Let's move,

[36:30] let's put mixed nuts

[36:31] and nuts together

[36:33] so that Barbara Streisand,

[36:35] you know,

[36:35] can call the crisis line

[36:37] that Steve Martin

[36:38] had,

[36:39] like,

Dan McCoy

[36:39] you know,

[36:40] she is in crisis.

[36:41] She,

[36:41] you know,

[36:41] they're trying to make her out

[36:43] that she has lost her sanity

[36:44] and this is why.

[36:44] Surprisingly reasonable.

[36:45] She's a prostitute.

[36:46] Yeah,

[36:46] surprisingly reasonable.

[36:48] Yeah.

[36:49] Well,

[36:50] that was

[36:50] the thing I did.

[36:52] Oops,

[36:52] all nuts.

[36:54] Oops,

[36:55] all nuts.

[36:55] Oops,

[36:56] all nuts.

[36:57] As the night winds down,

Stuart Wellington

[37:00] that nutty moon

[37:03] is high in the sky.

Dan McCoy

[37:06] Yeah,

[37:06] so why not

[37:07] turn off this podcast

[37:09] and,

[37:10] you know,

[37:10] if you want it,

[37:11] you know,

[37:12] not take place

[37:13] in No Nut November,

[37:14] you can.

[37:15] And if you don't,

[37:16] that's fine too.

[37:17] Do whatever you want.

[37:19] Don't do some stupid thing

[37:20] based on some stupid fake science.

Elliott Kalan

[37:23] I'm just worried,

[37:24] I'm just worried that

[37:25] what Dan's going to do

[37:26] for D's Nuts December,

[37:28] that's going to be rough.

[37:29] Yeah.

[37:31] Dan,

[37:31] so,

[37:31] you know what?

[37:32] Yeah,

[37:33] if you want,

[37:34] if you want to watch a movie

[37:35] about nuts,

[37:36] if you want to eat a nut,

[37:37] if you want to be a nut,

[37:38] sometimes you feel like a nut,

[37:39] sometimes you don't.

Stuart Wellington

[37:40] I am loving watching you guys

[37:42] come up with ways

[37:43] to come up with this,

[37:44] like,

[37:44] final soliloquy.

Dan McCoy

[37:46] I have no idea.

[37:47] There's no real,

[37:48] like,

[37:48] lessons to learn

Elliott Kalan

[37:50] to tie this off.

[37:50] What's the thread here?

[37:52] I'm desperately trying to

[37:54] remember what I saw

[37:55] in the Nutgina monologues.

[37:57] Yeah,

[37:57] exactly.

[37:57] The series of monologues

[37:59] by Eve Nutzler.

Dan McCoy

[38:01] So,

[38:02] always remember,

[38:03] NUT stands for

[38:04] never unknowing,

[38:05] underestimate

[38:06] this.

Elliott Kalan

[38:10] And this is

[38:11] the podcast,

[38:12] the Flophouse.

[38:13] Wait,

[38:13] the S in nuts

[38:14] is the last letter

[38:15] of the this

[38:16] that the T stood for?

[38:18] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[38:20] That's math.

[38:23] Thank you to

[38:24] our network,

[38:26] Maximum Fun.

[38:27] NUT work.

[38:38] And thank you.

[38:39] Shapes it?

[38:39] No, no, no, no.

[38:40] It's perfect.

[38:41] It's a perfect

[38:41] jewel as it is.

[38:43] You know?

[38:44] So, the thing is

Stuart Wellington

[38:45] is that Alex

[38:46] is like a ghost

[38:47] and we're at

[38:48] the potter's wheel

[38:49] trying to make

[38:49] this awesome episode

[38:50] and Alex is like,
