FH Mini 66 - The Peach Pit After Dark

[0:00] Good evening.

[0:07] It's Tuesday, October 25th, 1119 p.m., and you are listening to The Peach Pit After Dark,

[0:17] the one podcast covering The Peach Pit, a Flophouse Review podcast.

[0:21] Tonight's episode will focus on Flophouse Mini 63, The Peach Pit.

[0:26] So it's recommended that you listen to that first.

[0:29] Before we get started, let me introduce our guests.

[0:33] Right out of the gate, we have the man with the plan, and the plan ain't pretty, Dan McCoy.

[0:38] Hey, Dan McCoy.

[0:39] Thanks for joining us.

[0:40] Hi.

[0:41] Is this how you do it on The Peach Pit?

[0:42] You tell the actual date and time that we record the show?

[0:46] Is that a thing?

[0:47] The standard for The Peach Pit?

[0:48] This is how we do it on The Peach Pit After Dark.

[0:49] Sorry to interrupt you, Dan.

[0:51] You are the guest in this house.

[0:52] I just want to make sure that the listeners weren't confused and thought that they were

[0:55] listening to The Peach Pit.

[0:56] This is The Peach Pit After Dark.

[0:58] No, that is confusing.

[1:00] Thank you for clarifying.

[1:01] No problem.

[1:02] And we have some more guests.

[1:04] The next one, of course, it's the motor-mouthed maniac of New York himself, Elliot Kalin.

[1:09] Elliot, thanks for coming.

[1:11] Thank you so much for having me, Stu.

[1:12] I've always wanted to be on The Peach Pit After Dark, my favorite after-show, after-show

[1:16] podcast.

[1:17] Now, Stuart, you said we have some...

[1:18] Notice how quickly I grasped the concept as opposed to Dan, who stumbled his way through

[1:23] it.

[1:24] No, I grasped the concept.

[1:25] Dan, Dan, stay beautiful.

[1:26] Stay beautiful.

[1:27] You realize that this was a whole separate line rather than a special within The Peach

[1:33] Pit.

[1:34] Also, you said that we have more guests.

[1:37] So beyond Elliot, who...

[1:39] Thank you so much for setting this up, Dan.

[1:41] Yes, that's right.

[1:42] Okay.

[1:43] Let me introduce our last guest for this episode.

[1:45] That's the information broker to the movie Jokers.

[1:48] That's right.

[1:49] Spaghetti Jones is here, everybody.

[1:50] What?

[1:51] Oh.

[1:52] Yeah, thanks for having me here, everybody.

[1:53] It's great to come back to one of my favorite podcasts.

[1:57] I actually like this one more than The Peach Pit and more than The Flop House.

[2:00] Well, I forgot who Spaghetti Jones was.

[2:01] Thank you so much for joining us.

[2:03] I'm sorry, Mr. Jones.

[2:04] I really apologize.

[2:05] Well, thanks for nothing, Dan.

[2:06] I thought that this was the character that Stuart was introducing for the first time,

[2:11] but now I recall that, of course, he's the beloved...

[2:13] What was he?

[2:14] He's both a robber and he's like an informant, a robber.

[2:19] I'm a shoeshine boy who also informs about movies.

[2:23] And occasionally robs banks, if I'm correct, right?

[2:26] Yeah, sometimes.

[2:27] But that's...

[2:28] You know, I don't like to advertise that part of my resume.

[2:32] Certainly.

[2:33] You wouldn't want to.

[2:34] It's not on your cover letter.

[2:35] But you do advertise that you are an informant, which means that people, you know, would get

[2:41] mad at you.

[2:42] About movies, though, right?

[2:43] It's not like you're informing criminals.

[2:44] Yeah, I guess it's true.

[2:45] He's more of a publicist.

[2:46] Yeah.

[2:47] I guess that's a kind of less dramatic way to describe what I do.

[2:52] And let's not forget the shoeshining.

[2:55] Now...

[2:56] I hope this is a rough approximation of my voice.

[2:58] I gotta admit, I'm not fully sure exactly how I talk before.

[3:02] I remember there was a certain amount of mispronunciation, but I don't really remember exactly too many

[3:07] of the other details about my own voice, which is strange.

[3:09] I must have gotten knocked on the head with a coconut earlier tonight.

[3:13] It's quite possible.

[3:14] Well, despite that injury, I'm glad that you made it here, Spaghetti Jones.

[3:18] Now, let's just jump right into it, guys.

[3:21] My first question for the three of you, mainly Dan Nelliot here, is when I, Stuart Wellington,

[3:28] host of The Flophouse, host of The Peach Bit, host of The Peach Bit After Dark, when I came

[3:33] to you with the premise for The Peach Bit as a Flophouse mini, what was your initial

[3:37] reaction?

[3:38] I mean, I think I did what I normally do, which is sort of project my attitudes about

[3:46] a project onto others.

[3:48] And I thought to myself, that sounds complex.

[3:51] I wouldn't like to do it.

[3:52] So, Stuart probably won't actually do this idea.

[3:54] Okay.

[3:55] That's, I mean, that makes sense.

[3:57] Nelliot, do you have any feedback here?

[4:00] I don't actually remember being presented with the idea beforehand.

[4:06] But I thought, you know what, Stuart?

[4:08] He's taken me on a lot of joy rides.

[4:10] Metaphorically, I've been blindfolded in the back of his late model van many times.

[4:16] And he's always brought me to a great destination rather than a basement.

[4:21] And so I was like, okay, let's let him loose.

[4:24] Let's take him where we're going to go.

[4:26] And I don't think I was disappointed.

[4:28] Was I spaghetti?

[4:29] No, you loved it.

[4:30] And to be fair, I've been in some great basements, too, in my time.

[4:33] So it's a false take on it.

[4:35] In college, I saw a lot of shows in basements.

[4:38] I played ping pong in a basement or two.

[4:41] Now, I think I'm, you know what, I'm bringing it to my new frame of reference as a California

[4:46] resident.

[4:47] There's very few houses with basements because of earthquake danger.

[4:50] So here, taking someone to a basement is slang for I'm going to bury you in the foundation

[4:55] of my house.

[4:56] No, no.

[4:57] I catch your drift.

[4:58] I just didn't want to, you know.

[4:59] There's some great basements out there.

[5:00] You're right.

[5:01] There might be some basements listening.

[5:02] Keep it on, basements.

[5:03] We don't want to offend our basement listeners.

[5:05] How often do you come across that slang, Elliot, in your day-to-day life?

[5:10] In L.A., almost daily.

[5:12] Anytime you're trying to park or, I don't know what, go to-

[5:15] Anytime you're trying to park or, yeah.

[5:17] Anytime you're trying to park or, you start threatening people.

[5:21] Hey, hey, get off of my aerial or I'm going to take you to my basement.

[5:25] Every time I try to park or, I end up in the hospital.

[5:29] Oh, wow.

[5:30] That's too bad.

[5:31] Is it the hospital located in District B13?

[5:33] Yeah.

[5:34] But it's because you love to entertain the sick children there.

[5:38] You hop over roofs and through fences to get there and entertain them.

[5:41] I have a mistaken belief that the best medicine is fancy walking.

[5:46] So not to-

[5:47] As opposed to casual walking, which is Christopher Walken.

[5:50] Yeah.

[5:51] And not fancy walking his billionaire brother who wears a tuxedo and is often at fancy galas.

[5:58] Or the country version, walking in Memphis.

[6:03] So just to clarify, if this is your first time tuning into the Peach Pit After Dark,

[6:08] this is a podcast where we talk about and review an episode of the podcast, The Peach

[6:15] Pit, which is a podcast that reviews an episode of the Flophouse podcast.

[6:20] Okay.

[6:21] Okay?

[6:22] Following?

[6:23] Yeah.

[6:24] Okay.

[6:25] So what episode of the Peach Pit are we reviewing?

[6:26] We are reviewing the episode of the Peach Pit that reviews the episode of the Flophouse

[6:30] covering Amityville in space.

[6:32] That can be found in the feed of the Flophouse, Flophouse mini number 63.

[6:37] So this is the middle of Pit-tober, the month when the Peach Pit talked about October episodes.

[6:46] The month-

[6:47] And not when we talk about the movies of Pitoff.

[6:50] That was when Ronny Chieng was on the show talking about Catwoman.

[6:54] That's actually true.

[6:55] Yeah, that's correct.

[6:57] So one of the big things talked about in this episode of the Peach Pit, of course, was the

[7:03] celebration, the anniversary, 15 years, guys.

[7:08] And let's take us back there.

[7:13] Screen is being shared.

[7:14] For those at home, Stuart is sharing his screen.

[7:18] The image hasn't come up for me yet.

[7:20] I've got it.

[7:21] The words, Stuart Wellington has started screen sharing.

[7:24] It appears to be the episode-

[7:25] It's very intriguing.

[7:26] Flophouse mini 63, The Peach Pit.

[7:29] I was weird that this entirely different show was in the feed for our show.

[7:36] It's the podcast equivalent of when that Max Hedgeroom guy hacked into that local television

[7:43] feed and just said a lot of weird things and they never caught him.

[7:46] And now he's the president of the United States.

[7:49] I can now reveal that was Joe Biden that pulled off the famous Max Hedgeroom television hack.

[7:52] Now, while you guys were talking, I was playing a clip from the-

[7:55] What a big response to me finally pulling the Max Hedgeroom mask off of one of America's

[7:59] most notorious video hackers.

[8:02] All right.

[8:04] I can only assume our listeners are peeing all over themselves in surprise, but you guys

[8:08] are taking it very, very seriously.

[8:09] Well, I'm interested in the actual thing that Stuart's about to tell us.

[8:13] All right.

[8:14] Fair point.

[8:15] You know what?

[8:16] Deep Throat, don't reveal yourself.

[8:17] I'm too busy going through this carnival.

[8:20] Jimmy Hoffa's body, I don't need to know where you are.

[8:24] I'm about to go watch TV.

[8:25] I don't need to know where Jimmy Hoffa's body is.

[8:30] Now with that attitude, Stu, you were saying?

[8:32] So while you were talking about that, I was attempting to share audio on my end, and I'm

[8:38] assuming that happened or didn't happen.

[8:40] It didn't happen.

[8:41] That's why we kept talking for the entire time.

[8:42] No, it didn't happen to you either, yeah.

[8:43] It didn't happen at all.

[8:45] OK, well, I think it's probably a good time for me to double check my Zoom settings because

[8:52] it played perfectly fine for me, and I'm sure, is it showing you the image of my screen?

[8:57] Yes.

[8:58] Yeah.

[8:59] OK.

[9:00] But it won't actually make the sound.

[9:01] I don't hear the noise.

[9:02] That's confusing.

[9:03] No, I haven't heard it.

[9:04] The sound.

[9:05] There we go.

[9:06] OK.

[9:07] And here, just to prompt you guys again, this is talking about celebrating 15 years of the

[9:17] Flop House.

[9:18] And resume.

[9:19] So, Dan, it has been 15 years for you as you are the creator, founder, genius behind the

[9:26] Flop House.

[9:27] Yeah, yeah.

[9:28] So, yeah, how do you feel about this little house you've constructed?

[9:32] Yeah, I guess I feel good.

[9:37] I mean, like, it's definitely, I did not expect actual success when I started it, I have to

[9:44] say.

[9:45] So I feel good about it.

[9:46] What did you expect?

[9:47] I don't know.

[9:49] I was throwing a lot of stuff against the wall back then, trying to figure out how to

[9:54] make some kind of showbiz career.

[9:58] And I guess that's what happened.

[10:00] I made some kind of showbiz career.

[10:03] And you made a showbiz career, right?

[10:06] Now the question is, Dan, thinking about it now,

[10:09] what would you do differently if you could go back 15 years

[10:14] and do this whole podcast thing all over?

[10:18] Like just the podcast decisions, no other decisions?

[10:22] No, you could change all, I mean, this is a safe space.

[10:26] You can talk about everything.

[10:28] We're after dark, Dan.

[10:29] Yes, was there like a hitchhiker you ran over?

[10:32] Do I have like a sports almanac of some kinds with me?

[10:36] Sure, yes, you do have a sports almanac.

[10:39] What would your version of the Biffverse be, Dan?

[10:43] You know how they have those casinos

[10:45] in the Biffverse and whatever?

[10:46] Like I think it would be more of kind of a DuckTales

[10:51] themed amusement park.

[10:52] That would be the dystopian Hill Valley.

[10:54] All right, the Duckstopian future

[10:57] that Dan McCoy is putting together, yeah.

[11:00] Okay, so yeah, I mean, the podcast

[11:02] would be the same though, right?

[11:04] Well, here's, no, that's my point, yeah.

[11:07] My point is I would go back and I would make a lot of money

[11:10] in some other endeavor so that I didn't suck the life out

[11:14] of the creative things in my life.

[11:17] Not this podcast, I want to make it clear,

[11:19] I'm not talking about that.

[11:20] I'm talking about other stuff.

[11:22] You're talking about the Peach Pit After Dark.

[11:24] Yeah, yeah, I just want to keep my love of comedy intact

[11:30] so I can do this podcast as a hobby

[11:31] while I was independently wealthy.

[11:34] That sounds great.

[11:35] Elliot, what changes might you make to your life?

[11:38] If I went back 15 years?

[11:39] Uh-huh.

[11:42] If you say don't ever do the Flophouse in the first place,

[11:45] I would be impressed.

[11:47] Why would that impress you?

[11:48] That's curious.

[11:50] Because it's a wild way to make everyone mad at you.

[11:52] Yeah, that's true.

[11:53] Yeah, I'm slowly evolving into a heel as I get older,

[11:57] but I'm not that much of a heel yet.

[11:59] I think probably I would,

[12:03] there's some outside-of-work things

[12:05] that I would pursue more, but the Flophouse,

[12:07] I'd just keep doing it the same way I do it.

[12:09] Maybe I'd try to get us to put more into publicity,

[12:13] put more effort into publicizing the Flophouse.

[12:16] But you know what?

[12:17] We're doing great.

[12:18] Like skywriting and stuff?

[12:19] In this world, survival is success,

[12:22] so yeah, skywriting, we'd probably put fortunes

[12:25] and fortune cookies that were like,

[12:28] you will listen to the Flophouse, that kind of stuff.

[12:29] We probably could've gotten professional earlier,

[12:32] although arguably we're still not there,

[12:33] so that's another change we could've done.

[12:36] I guess, I mean, doing it for, not waiting,

[12:38] what was it, seven or eight years to start charging money

[12:41] to do the show was somewhat of a mistake, but.

[12:45] Yeah, just putting it out there for everyone.

[12:47] I probably would not have recorded every episode

[12:53] for the first 10 years very drunk, maybe eight years.

[12:57] I don't know, who cares, whatever, it's fine.

[12:59] Don't listen to the early episodes.

[13:02] You know, I'm a different man.

[13:03] I feel like there must be some episodes

[13:05] in the first eight to 10 years that are a thing to listen to.

[13:07] Yeah, the honest answer is there's probably

[13:09] plenty of things I said back then

[13:11] that I wouldn't stand behind now.

[13:14] Yeah, you're like, Donald Trump's gonna be

[13:15] the best president ever, et cetera, et cetera.

[13:18] I think I'm on record with my feelings about that.

[13:21] Although there was that time where I was,

[13:23] I made a joke during the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra episode,

[13:26] and I said that the American people

[13:27] would never elect a leader with that crazy of a haircut,

[13:30] and that was proven incorrect.

[13:32] Incredibly wrong.

[13:33] Oh, man.

[13:34] You had to eat those words.

[13:35] It's your fault, but we, yeah, man.

[13:37] That is a bitter.

[13:38] That America said, oh, yeah, we'll show you.

[13:40] A bitter meal, the broccoli rob of meals.

[13:44] So on this episode of The Peach Bit,

[13:47] there was a moment where Stewart

[13:49] made a reference joke in one direction,

[13:52] and Dan and Elliott decided to go

[13:53] in a different direction.

[13:54] Let's listen.

[13:55] It's, you know what, I'm upgrading it to volcanic.

[13:58] It's as hot as you can get.

[13:59] Oh, wow.

[14:00] Smokin', somebody stop me.

[14:02] Smokin' like aces.

[14:04] So.

[14:05] If your aces are smoking, please,

[14:06] call the Hoyle Company and complain.

[14:09] Yeah, stop playing your Texas Hold'em,

[14:11] or whatever it is, you know.

[14:13] Drop those, don't hold them.

[14:14] Yeah.

[14:15] Drop those cards.

[14:16] So, I decided to go in the mask direction.

[14:20] You guys went smoking aces.

[14:21] Now, which reference do you think

[14:23] is more appropriate for the Flophouse listeners?

[14:27] Which, I feel like the mask is a little more common.

[14:30] Smokin' aces is a little more niche.

[14:32] It feels like a false choice.

[14:33] Yeah.

[14:34] I don't think that we need to,

[14:35] I don't think either of those choices is.

[14:36] I think both jokes.

[14:36] Is inappropriate.

[14:37] Registered and were appreciated by the audience.

[14:40] I also.

[14:41] How many times have you seen both of those movies?

[14:46] Let's see, I would say that I've seen the mask

[14:48] maybe two and a half times, and smokin' aces once.

[14:52] Oh, wow.

[14:53] And I would say, I would say, as a kid,

[14:56] I probably watched the mask, I don't know, six times.

[14:59] A hundred times.

[14:59] And smokin' aces I have never seen.

[15:00] Now.

[15:01] Okay.

[15:02] It's a movie that, for me, is only a poster.

[15:04] Is this, are you, you know,

[15:06] is there an implication here, Stuart,

[15:08] that this was a superior reference because it,

[15:10] because here's my secret,

[15:13] my secret to not succeeding in comedy.

[15:15] I have always had a stubborn belief

[15:17] that the stranger, less accessible reference

[15:21] will be funnier, which has, you know,

[15:24] led me to where I am today.

[15:26] Sort of a middle tier broadcaster.

[15:30] It's why, it's why I think I,

[15:31] there was a big hullabaloo over at The Daily Show

[15:34] when you were working there.

[15:36] When you pushed so hard for that toxic Avenger

[15:39] for President running campaign

[15:41] that you wanted to have appear at least twice a week

[15:44] on the show.

[15:45] And people were like,

[15:46] I just don't think anyone really remembers

[15:47] that much about the toxic Avenger.

[15:49] And Dan was like, that's the point.

[15:50] That's the point.

[15:51] And then once we've got their interest,

[15:53] we turn it into the toxic crusaders at the cartoon show,

[15:56] which is even more obscure.

[15:57] Yeah.

[15:58] That was an interesting choice, Dan.

[15:59] You didn't share that with our listeners.

[16:01] Do you want to elaborate any more

[16:03] on this toxic Avenger thing?

[16:04] As far as I know, a made up story.

[16:07] Although, you know.

[16:08] As far as you know, that was a very,

[16:11] are you being interviewed by a Senate committee?

[16:13] That was a very covering your base.

[16:14] My memory is very bad, Elliot.

[16:17] But I do want to say this,

[16:19] listening back to this episode of the Peach Pit,

[16:23] Alex is doing a great job producing.

[16:25] Like with these nice headphones on,

[16:28] it sounds crisp.

[16:29] Everyone sounds different.

[16:30] Like there's a feeling of dimensionality to the sound.

[16:34] Love it.

[16:35] So yeah, Dan's referencing Alex Smith,

[16:37] who is the producer on the Peach Pit After Dark,

[16:40] as well as the Peach Pit and the Flophouse,

[16:42] as well as many other shows.

[16:44] Which you may hear later.

[16:46] The next question, of course,

[16:48] goes for Mr. Spaghetti Jones.

[16:50] And the question is,

[16:52] how's your podcast Curly's Corner going?

[16:55] Yeah, unfortunately I had to take a short break

[16:58] from Curly's Corner.

[17:00] That was the, that's my podcast.

[17:01] And, you know, just a lot of things going on

[17:04] in my personal life and I just couldn't.

[17:06] And now that I'm remembering more

[17:08] what spaghetti sounds like,

[17:10] it's just, you know, I think I might get back to it.

[17:12] But it's just been a busy time.

[17:13] It's been a busy time for Spaghetti Jones

[17:15] and Curly's Corner.

[17:15] You mentioned problems in your personal life.

[17:17] I think this might be the right time to address.

[17:20] Are you ready to address the public allegations

[17:22] that have been made against you, Spaghetti Jones?

[17:24] I'm not familiar with any allegations

[17:27] that might've been made against me.

[17:28] It seems, I don't know what you're talking about.

[17:30] I feel like we should talk about them here on air

[17:33] as opposed to dodging them entirely.

[17:35] This is a safe space for you, Spaghetti Jones.

[17:38] I mean, it would be a safe space

[17:39] if people weren't ambushing me already

[17:41] with these questions.

[17:43] Sure, well, what do you want to talk about?

[17:44] I'm an open book.

[17:45] I'm an informant.

[17:46] I'm an open book.

[17:47] I tell people all the times.

[17:48] I'm always, do whatever.

[17:49] Well, and sometimes I rob banks,

[17:51] but what are you saying about me?

[17:53] Your silence is deafening.

[17:55] Well, thank you so much for joining us, Spaghetti Jones.

[17:57] We're gonna continue the show.

[17:58] Curly, technically I'm talking.

[18:00] Was that my time?

[18:01] I didn't get to finish?

[18:02] That's your time.

[18:03] Do you have anything you'd like to plug?

[18:05] I guess the return of Coily's Corner,

[18:08] my podcast, which I guess I have to put out

[18:10] to clear my name, against allegations

[18:13] that may or may not exist based on things

[18:15] that never, certainly never happened.

[18:17] Can you give me one clue as to which specific

[18:19] of the many allegations leveled against me?

[18:22] So the next thing I want to talk about

[18:24] in this recent episode of The Peach Bit, of course,

[18:27] sorry, Curly, we gotta move on,

[18:29] is of course, there's a moment in the book

[18:33] of course, there's a moment of Star Wars talk,

[18:35] and let's get right into it.

[18:37] There's sex.

[18:38] I know, Dan, I know, Dan, that you would rather

[18:40] be a modern-day George Lucas and go back

[18:42] and fix what you think are problems with the original,

[18:44] which are really what people love about it.

[18:46] I see.

[18:47] But, you know, maybe you want to insert a scene

[18:49] with Jabba the Hutt that there's really no point for,

[18:51] because it's just repeating information

[18:53] that was in the Greedo scene.

[18:54] But what if someone steps on his tail

[18:56] and his eyes bug out all funny?

[18:58] Yeah, what if the power dynamic that's being established

[19:01] between Han Solo, smuggler afraid of his life,

[19:03] and Jabba the Hutt, incredible crime lord,

[19:07] a member of the band, the Incredible Crime Lords,

[19:09] what if that was-

[19:10] Also a member of the family of the Incredibles.

[19:13] Yeah, what if that was just completely ignored

[19:15] and he stepped on his tail, thus having Han Solo,

[19:19] I guess, put Jabba in his place for a moment

[19:21] with no punishment whatsoever?

[19:23] Yeah, you want to do that kind of thing

[19:24] with small timber, small vember.

[19:25] And you're like, oh, I always meant it to be small timber,

[19:28] so I guess I'll go back and change it

[19:30] so that me as an old man is happy,

[19:31] even though it's making millions of fans

[19:34] around the world unhappy.

[19:35] That's how you feel about it?

[19:36] So, is this the first time that we have ever talked

[19:39] about Star Wars on the Flop House?

[19:42] I don't remember any other ones.

[19:44] Actually, just to break kayfabe for the moment,

[19:48] two things, one, I was looking for the word undercut

[19:51] during that, and it just wasn't coming into my head.

[19:53] But that's what I should have said,

[19:54] undercut the menace, the power dynamics.

[19:56] But also, someone today was telling me

[19:58] how much they loved our routine.

[20:00] scene about Luke Skywalker and the people on Tatooine assuming that he killed his aunt

[20:05] and uncle and then fled to escape punishment after the events of the first Star Wars.

[20:10] Was that one of those bits that I started and then it's like, I'm going to take this

[20:14] ball and run a marathon with it?

[20:16] Exactly what happened is Stewart picked up that diamond and said, what is this?

[20:20] And described it and then I snatched it from his hands and ran away and put it in my own

[20:24] personal bag.

[20:25] I'm the Deagol to your Smeagol.

[20:30] You're the Jack Kirby to my Stan Lee.

[20:33] We're like, look at this cool idea and I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's mine now.

[20:36] I own it.

[20:37] Anyway, bye.

[20:38] I feel like we, for a non-specifically tagged Star Wars podcast, the Flophouse and the Peach

[20:46] Pit talk about Star Wars quite a bit.

[20:49] Yeah, we're white men in our middle age.

[20:53] What are you talking about?

[20:55] At this point, Star Wars is possibly the closest thing America has to a shared common

[21:00] culture.

[21:01] Yeah, that's I mean, it's kind of kind of what what the Bible was to the 18th and 19th

[21:07] century.

[21:08] Yep.

[21:09] And what I don't know what would have been in the in the in the first half of the 20th

[21:12] century.

[21:13] What a what do you get a shared a shared vision of democracy was in the second half of the

[21:18] 20th and a little died and everyone cried about it.

[21:22] Yeah.

[21:23] And all those people on the waiting on the docks for that ship to come in from George

[21:26] Lucas's private island asking, is George are still around?

[21:29] What happened to George?

[21:30] Tell us.

[21:31] Yeah.

[21:32] Wait for you to unload the manuscripts of Star Wars.

[21:35] Exactly.

[21:36] Nobody ever talks about big now or nobody talks about the boy in the bubble anymore.

[21:41] The baby with the baboon or the balloon, the balloon is the boy in the balloon.

[21:45] Yeah.

[21:46] Yeah.

[21:47] Because what business is magical and magical is art or science is magic and magic is art.

[21:49] How does that sound?

[21:50] Or just reciting lyrics.

[21:51] And I see that Stuart is hovering over some sort of other clip.

[21:57] So what amazing what amazing segway would be if this was a part of the episode where

[22:01] we talked about Paul Simon.

[22:04] It would be amazing, partly because I'm not particularly familiar with the works of Paul

[22:08] Simon outside of, I guess, his hits.

[22:11] Dan, I'm assuming, is into all the deep cuts and B sides of Paul Simon's catalog.

[22:16] I wouldn't go that far, but I had some of his, you know, his early solo albums.

[22:23] And you're you're you're you're two seconds review.

[22:26] You take us down.

[22:27] Paul Simon Drive, Stuart.

[22:28] And I was prepared.

[22:29] I drove the car to a ditch.

[22:33] I pointed out.

[22:34] I pointed at Paul Simon Drive and said, hey, what's down there?

[22:37] And then Stuart jerked the wheel over the head straight down it.

[22:40] Unfortunately, what was there was a brick wall.

[22:42] It's OK.

[22:43] The thing is, is that that's we can chalk that one up to a whoopsie and whoopsies are

[22:47] a big part of the of the Peach Pit.

[22:49] And so we're going to talk about probably the biggest whoopsie of the night.

[22:53] Greases jeans.

[22:54] Crystal.

[22:55] It's not from Greece.

[22:56] Greasy.

[22:57] Grease.

[22:58] That's Jesus.

[22:59] That was Jesus Christ.

[23:00] Super crystal.

[23:01] No.

[23:02] What are you trying to say?

[23:03] What was going on in your head?

[23:04] I know I if you listen, I never actually said Grease's jeans, but I did go along with Grease's

[23:11] jeans.

[23:12] What was it?

[23:13] Jesus.

[23:14] Grease's jeans.

[23:15] Jesus.

[23:16] Jesus.

[23:17] Jesus.

[23:18] Jesus.

[23:19] What was it?

[23:20] Jesus.

[23:21] Jesus.

[23:22] Jesus.

[23:23] Jesus.

[23:24] Oh, boy.

[23:25] Jesus.

[23:26] Jesus.

[23:27] Jesus.

[23:28] Jesus.

[23:29] Jesus.

[23:30] Jesus.

[23:31] Jesus.

[23:32] Jesus.

[23:33] Jesus.

[23:34] Jesus.

[23:35] Jesus.

[23:36] Jesus.

[23:37] All right.

[23:38] I guess that was my whoopsie.

[23:39] What?

[23:40] Yeah.

[23:41] No, I was trying to get to what Dan was trying to say was Greasy Jesus.

[23:50] Less popular.

[23:51] I had a harder time finding followers.

[23:53] Yeah.

[23:54] We have a good time on this podcast.

[23:56] What if I just started talking during the clips and then the listener wouldn't know

[24:01] whether what level of reality they're currently in.

[24:05] I mean, that's that would be kind of fitting for tonight.

[24:08] So the if anyone listening knows what level of reality they're on, I would I would so

[24:12] much appreciate the help in that.

[24:14] So please write in and tell us what level of reality we're currently at, because every

[24:18] day I think I've got it and it turns out I'm way off.

[24:21] So we keep getting emails about about the Church of Greasy Jesus.

[24:27] And so I have to ask, Dan, have you have you been have you been saved yet?

[24:32] Have I been thinking about turning it into a real religion?

[24:35] Have you heard the oily news?

[24:38] I mean, we could, you know.

[24:40] Well, what if we were sort of a benevolent Scientology?

[24:44] I was going to say we could be like a figure like L. Ron Hubbard.

[24:46] But, you know, there's a lot of horrible stuff.

[24:48] What if we like started kind of just like a religion that was just a place for, you

[24:53] know, people to hang out after work?

[24:58] I mean, I think a benevolent religion is what Jesus tried to do, and it kind of got

[25:01] out of control at a certain point.

[25:02] Yeah, well, his mistake was he died.

[25:07] Arguably the biggest whoopsie.

[25:10] Not the first time he died.

[25:11] Like when he died, that part kind of like made his name.

[25:15] But then when he left after he came back, that was the mistake because then it was in

[25:21] our hands.

[25:22] So we kind of messed with it.

[25:24] I don't think technically that that, you know, priests would say that he died at that point

[25:29] when he went to heaven.

[25:30] But I like the idea that Jesus died and then he came back and was like, see, and then someone

[25:34] shot him or like he was like, see, I redeemed everybody.

[25:39] And then he got in the car and the car, you know, just hit a truck or something like that.

[25:44] But he that he had a whole big plan.

[25:46] I just I think it's like a final destination.

[25:48] I think, you know, wait.

[25:51] So wait, actually, I want to I want to follow Stuart's thinking here that that.

[25:56] So the ultimate final destination story is Jesus's, because he did die on the cross and

[26:00] then escape death and came back and that Tony Todd then followed him around, I guess, waiting

[26:05] for the elaborate death traps to finally catch him.

[26:08] Mm hmm.

[26:09] Yep.

[26:10] Tony Todd was there to provide like knowing color commentary, but not actually do anything

[26:13] bad.

[26:14] He's not a bad guy.

[26:15] No.

[26:16] Here's my problem.

[26:17] I think that the issue is kind of like how the Constitution was written a long time ago.

[26:22] And then we're like, we can't change it because we've decided that this document is perfect

[26:27] for no particular reason.

[26:29] Likewise, and against the explicit wishes of the people who wrote the original.

[26:34] Yeah.

[26:35] So please change this.

[26:36] So I think, yeah, I mean, just like Star Wars Bible wise, we haven't been doing our like

[26:41] regular updates like we should be on version, you know, yeah, point oh point eight.

[26:47] Point seven.

[26:48] Yeah.

[26:49] You keep getting this notification in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

[26:51] You're like, what's this big red exclamation point for I'll try to set it up.

[26:56] I plug my Bible in at night.

[26:58] I leave it turned on and it doesn't fire.

[27:02] It tells me you've burned your house and then I got to get a new one and the new one still

[27:08] doesn't have the most recent iOS.

[27:10] Yeah.

[27:11] You know, all this talking about all this talk about religion makes me think about if

[27:16] you guys ever tried, have you guys tried micro dosing?

[27:22] That's great because our show today is our show today.

[27:25] Of course, that means the Peach Pit After Dark is sponsored by micro dose gummies.

[27:45] It makes me a little more creative and helps me sleep better.

[27:48] I should probably use it.

[27:50] I should get around to it.

[28:51] We had some HelloFresh here, Shamwa, recently.

[28:57] I turned it that was I turned it a mistake for a second.

[29:01] And oh, shame.

[29:02] Why?

[29:03] I said Shamwa.

[29:04] Yeah.

[29:05] Like a rag that we'd use to.

[29:06] Yeah.

[29:08] Not to interrupt and throw us off track, but Miss Piggy, definitely in my in my celebrity

[29:13] hall pass category.

[29:14] Well, I'll let Frank Oz know and he can.

[29:20] Do you get extra?

[29:21] I do.

[29:22] I'm sure.

[29:23] Don't call my bluff.

[29:24] I'll do it.

[29:25] This is now.

[29:26] I mean, Frank is showing up at Hinterland's tomorrow with with the puppet.

[29:35] And it's like the first episode of Black Mirror.

[29:37] He's like, do it.

[29:38] Go ahead.

[29:39] You said you'd do it.

[29:40] Like, OK.

[29:41] Do it right now.

[29:43] This is awful.

[29:44] I don't like I'm sorry that I went down this road.

[29:49] HelloFresh.

[29:50] How dare you mention Miss Piggy.

[29:55] HelloFresh.

[29:56] Audrey and I had some just recently.

[30:00] I am not just I'm not I kid you not when I say that about half of the conversation was

[30:07] about how good the meal was.

[30:11] And I got the healthy meal.

[30:13] And I think that a lot of times the barrier to making that kind of stuff is just the convenience

[30:19] literally having around.

[30:21] And I found that, you know, having these things meant that, you know, instead of me having

[30:29] to think, like, what can I make in my brain drifting to something grosser?

[30:34] We instead had a nice, healthy meal.

[30:37] So and yeah, sorry, no, no, go on.

[30:40] I wanted to chime in and say that we also had some HelloFresh at here at our non Miss

[30:45] Biggie affiliated house.

[30:47] And then it was also delicious.

[30:49] I got the family friendly meals because I have two small children who are not exactly

[30:55] adventuresome eaters, but we had through these like pork tostadas, I think they were.

[31:01] And those were a huge hit with both me and the boys.

[31:04] And then also this really great macaroni and cheese that they had at the boys also really

[31:08] loved.

[31:09] And so I think if you've got a family and you're you don't want to even have to think

[31:13] about what you're going to make and you just want to have all the stuff there for you go

[31:17] with HelloFresh.

[31:18] They got it.

[31:19] The food's really good.

[31:20] And the and the ingredients were very fresh.

[31:22] And you know what they said to me when I opened them up?

[31:24] Nothing.

[31:25] Nothing.

[31:26] Their food.

[31:27] But I felt like I was saying hello.

[31:28] Oh, OK.

[31:29] Imagine.

[31:30] That's what you're leading us to.

[31:31] It's true.

[31:32] I chopped up some ginger.

[31:33] I'm like, this ginger is juicy.

[31:34] Not desiccated like the ginger I usually get at the store.

[31:37] Anyway, go to Ginger Rogers, the mummified corpse of whom you dug up and put in your

[31:42] closet.

[31:43] Not for eating.

[31:44] The recipe called for her, Elliot.

[32:12] Stewart, you have a message to or Elliot actually is going to be doing a take this.

[32:20] I'll take the jumbotrons on this one.

[32:23] We've got a jumbotron today and the jumbotron says like this and it doesn't really say again

[32:28] like it.

[32:29] I'm going to say it.

[32:30] It's not the jumbotron talking out loud.

[32:31] This is me now.

[32:32] The jumbotron through me says Art Slice is a podcast that makes art history and sometimes

[32:37] color theory rowdy and accessible through storytelling, goofs, pantry mons and real

[32:41] world art insights.

[32:42] A good starting point is Episode 17 featuring sculptor Maria Marcheans, the wheel in the

[32:47] galley guy Marcel Duchamp and the work they made as a result of their semi secret love

[32:52] affair.

[32:53] Art Slice.

[32:54] Subscribe on your pod player or go to Art Slice pod dot com and go and subscribe on

[32:59] your pod player wherever listen to podcasts or go to Art Slice pod dot com and that's

[33:04] Art Slice.

[33:05] And, you know, me, I'm interested in anything Marcel Duchamp related.

[33:08] So I think I'm going to listen.

[33:09] Nice.

[33:10] Great.

[33:11] I'm Jesse Thorne on the next bullseye, our annual Halloween spectacular.

[33:23] We'll interview Anna Fabrega from Los Spookies, Monet X Change from Drag Race and the great

[33:29] R.L.

[33:30] Stein, creator of Goosebumps.

[33:31] You know, I don't really get too deep into the real fears.

[33:34] It's a lot safer to do a dummy coming to life.

[33:38] That's on the next bullseye for Maximum Fun dot org and NPR.

[33:43] Hi, I'm Jesse Thorne, the founder of Maximum Fun, and I have a special announcement.

[33:49] I'm no longer embarrassed by my brother.

[33:52] My brother and me, you know, for years, each new episode of this supposed advice show was

[33:58] a fresh insult, a depraved jumble of erection jokes, ghost humor, and frankly, this is for

[34:06] the best, very little actionable advice.

[34:10] But now, as they enter their twilight years, I'm as surprised as anyone to admit that it's

[34:15] gotten kind of good.

[34:16] Justin, Travis and Griffin's witticisms are more refined, like a humor column in a fancy

[34:22] magazine.

[34:23] And they hardly ever say bazinga anymore.

[34:26] So, after you've completely finished listening to every single one of all of our other shows,

[34:32] why not join the McElroy brothers every week for My Brother, My Brother and Me?

[34:42] Hey, Grease Monkeys, welcome back to the Peach Pit Pit Stop, your one stop spot for all things

[34:47] related to the Peach Pit and the Peach Pit after dark.

[34:50] Tonight, I'm joined by two members of the Flophouse podcast.

[34:54] Dan McCoy, Elliot Kaling, podcast superstars.

[34:57] Thanks so much for joining me.

[34:58] Now, you guys are reviewers of media, okay?

[34:59] You guys review movies.

[35:01] I'm sure you guys also do some stuff on the side.

[35:03] What do you guys like to do?

[35:04] Do you guys do Letterboxd?

[35:05] Do you use Yelp?

[35:06] What's up?

[35:07] Do you like people's social media posts?

[35:10] I mean, occasionally, I've been known to like a post or two, Stuart.

[35:15] I feel like you're undercutting your own Letterboxd account, because I feel like you're a contributor.

[35:19] You're very big on Letterboxd.

[35:20] And also, we've been known on the Flophouse to talk tube with a certain tube.

[35:25] That's true.

[35:26] We talk tube sometimes on the Flophouse podcast.

[35:30] So what do you like about ... I know that you review things professionally, but do you

[35:38] get any joy out of doing it non-professionally?

[35:40] I mean, as referenced before, I mostly get joy out of non-professional things, because

[35:48] professional things always end up figuring out a way to mess with you.

[35:54] But yeah, I'm on Letterboxd, Dan K. McCoy, like my Twitter, Letterboxd.com, Dan McCoy.

[36:04] I log everything I see.

[36:06] I make a rule that I have to write something about every one of those things.

[36:11] Sometimes it's an actual review where I'm making interesting points, and sometimes it's

[36:15] just a joke or some personal thoughts, and it's very short.

[36:21] But yeah, check it out.

[36:23] Now as reviewers of pop culture and media, can you think of a time when reviewing something

[36:29] has ... like recommending something to someone, or reviewing something favorably has come

[36:33] back and bit you on the ass?

[36:36] Hmm.

[36:39] Guess not.

[36:40] It happens to me all the time, when I recommend things to people, and then they're like, hey,

[36:43] that movie you recommended, it wasn't good, and I'm like, no shit, you're an idiot.

[36:47] I recommended good stuff.

[36:49] It's not my fault you don't like good stuff.

[36:51] I don't have too many interactions like that.

[36:53] Even if someone says they didn't like it, I'm usually like, okay, that was your opinion.

[36:57] The closest I came to that was when ... No, you got to be meaner to people, Elliot, I

[37:00] think.

[37:02] Many years ago, I recommended the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch to my mother, and she told

[37:07] me afterwards, she said, I couldn't finish it.

[37:10] That movie's for younger people.

[37:11] I love that.

[37:12] I was just left to unpack what that comment meant, but otherwise ...

[37:16] So you're like, maybe next time, mom, you should try Spring Breakers.

[37:23] Or Kids.

[37:24] I mean, it's for kids, right in the title.

[37:26] Says kids right there.

[37:27] Let's watch it.

[37:28] I mean, I feel like I ... Yeah, I'm almost defiantly contrarian sometimes in ... What?

[37:40] Not in an angry troll on Twitter way, but with my Letterboxd reviews, I'm ...

[37:46] More like a happy troll working at a mine or as a blacksmith.

[37:49] A happy mine troll?

[37:50] Yeah, yeah.

[37:51] A mine troll.

[37:52] A troll that has plenty of food.

[37:55] If I'm rating ... Long, luxurious beard.

[37:57] What?

[37:58] If I'm the bearded troll.

[38:00] Again, my Letterboxd is for myself, so I'm rating something on there.

[38:04] I rate it as basically according to how much I enjoyed it and throw the ideas of objectivity

[38:10] out the window, and I figure like, if anyone's reading this is like me, they'll know, hey,

[38:15] I'm like that guy.

[38:16] I like that thing.

[38:18] But in real life, I'm very terrified to recommend anything to anyone because I'm like, I don't

[38:24] know what you like.

[38:25] Whatever, man.

[38:26] You figure it out.

[38:28] You'll probably get a ... That's how ...

[38:30] You'll probably do better.

[38:31] I don't feel that way about movies, but I do feel that way about food, and I do have

[38:36] a very particular anxiety that I hate when someone is like, oh yeah, well, why don't

[38:41] you just order for us?

[38:42] Or like, what's good here?

[38:44] And I do not like the idea of having to be responsible for what someone else is going

[38:47] to eat.

[38:48] It's just exciting.

[38:49] I don't want that responsibility.

[38:50] I agree with you.

[38:51] Audrey's sometimes like, do I want this or do I want this?

[38:55] I'm like, I ... Why?

[38:57] Do I look like a waiter?

[39:00] Why have you gone beyond your own mind?

[39:04] This question, there's no way else you could possibly be more qualified to answer this

[39:10] question than yourself.

[39:12] Let me ask your tongue what it feels like.

[39:14] Audrey's tongue, which would you prefer?

[39:18] What do you think?

[39:19] Don't ask me.

[39:20] I'm not going to answer.

[39:21] See, that's the trouble.

[39:22] Indecisive tongue.

[39:23] Do you ever feel like a question like that is just almost like her metaphorical hand

[39:29] is reaching out and saying, Dan, I want to have a conversation.

[39:32] Well, Stuart, you're right to the nub of the gist.

[39:38] I think that a lot of the interactions I previously got frustrated with, I learned like, oh, wait.

[39:45] No, this is an effort to make a human connection and that I should try and indulge that.

[39:50] Not just to solve problems.

[39:51] Rather than being a robot man.

[39:53] Sometimes people ask questions just as a way of getting to thoughts.

[39:57] Yeah.

[39:58] Yeah.

[39:59] I remember when I was a little

[40:00] I expressed like excitement about like a rock and roll band.

[40:05] I think it was Queen maybe.

[40:07] I think it was right around when Wayne's World came out

[40:09] and I was like, wow, music's cool.

[40:11] And I remember my dad making like a snarky comment about it

[40:14] and it immediately made me think like,

[40:17] oh, I will never express my interest in something again.

[40:20] Yeah, that can be a harsh thing at an early age.

[40:24] The like stovetop learning.

[40:26] Don't worry, my issues with my dad

[40:28] are being extensively examined by me and my therapist.

[40:32] This really is. Oh, that's great.

[40:33] This really is Flat House after dark at this point.

[40:36] So really, we're getting real.

[40:37] This is like Taylor Swift's Midnights, you know?

[40:40] These are the conversations we have at midnight.

[40:43] It's 12.03 here.

[40:45] Yeah, it is, yeah, 12.03.

[40:48] Speaking of getting real.

[40:49] Not where I am, 9.03 is still prime time, baby.

[40:52] Cool math.

[40:53] How am I doing as a host, guys?

[40:58] I mean, you're really keeping us on point

[41:01] with barbs like that one.

[41:09] There's a real Steward's dad edge to that.

[41:14] Yeah, yeah, that's where I learned it, oh my God.

[41:18] I learned it from watching you.

[41:20] Oh my God, do you ever do things

[41:22] and you're like, that's exactly like my fucking dad does?

[41:26] Like everything from like little conversation things

[41:30] to like a weird vocal tick where I'm like,

[41:33] I can't believe I say it like that.

[41:35] I mean, there are many times

[41:36] that I'm making like an expression with my face

[41:39] and I'm basically imagining either my dad

[41:43] or my two older brothers.

[41:45] Like I'm like, I probably look like this from the outside.

[41:53] Now guys, we're talking about getting real.

[41:56] Let's get even more real.

[41:58] Can we?

[41:59] Was it, do you guys think it was a good idea

[42:01] to bring Spaghetti Jones back?

[42:04] I think that I do.

[42:05] Do people remember him?

[42:06] Is there any like, like Dan forgot he even existed?

[42:09] There's no fan art of Spaghetti Jones.

[42:11] No, he's not a popular character

[42:13] and also this was edited out by Alex.

[42:16] So of course the audience won't know this

[42:18] but he had to be physically removed from the premise.

[42:22] He caused a lot of trouble.

[42:24] May have been better if you had brought back

[42:25] one of our more popular characters

[42:27] like Old Lady Who Loves Tintin.

[42:29] I'll say I'm fine with the character.

[42:31] I do think that maybe the implication

[42:33] that he's done horrible things was a turn

[42:36] that we didn't need to take.

[42:39] Who knows?

[42:40] I mean, maybe though,

[42:41] unless you're setting up breadcrumbs for later on.

[42:45] Yeah, yeah.

[42:46] This is all for several episodes later

[42:48] on the Peach Pit After Dark, yeah.

[42:50] We're actually on the Peach Pit Pit Stop right now.

[42:53] Peach Pit After Dark's a different show.

[42:56] But speaking of new shows.

[43:02] Hey, things not going your way.

[43:05] Welcome back to Life's The Pits,

[43:07] the review podcast covering the Peach Pit,

[43:09] a Flophouse review podcast.

[43:10] Joining us in the pit today are Dan McCoy and Elliot Kalin.

[43:14] So guys, has there been any drama on the Flophouse lately?

[43:18] Where are we?

[43:20] I guess the last show ended and it's a new show now.

[43:23] This is Life's The Pits.

[43:24] Oh, yeah.

[43:25] I mean, is there any drama?

[43:27] I guess on the previous show we were on,

[43:31] we kind of got real, you know, invulnerable.

[43:34] Yeah, that's true.

[43:35] In this Peach Pit programming block

[43:37] or this Flophouse discussion programming block,

[43:42] on what network is this?

[43:44] This show is not on a network,

[43:46] although it recommends people check out

[43:48] the Maximum Fun Network.

[43:49] Maybe at some point Maximum Fun will decide

[43:51] to accept Life's The Pits as a show for the network.

[43:56] Although it seems weird because it's a podcast

[43:59] that just focuses on reviewing other shows

[44:02] that review the Flophouse.

[44:04] Yeah.

[44:05] So guys, where will this end?

[44:07] Are we just gonna watch Amityville in space again?

[44:11] You think that we're somehow sort of like

[44:17] how if you leave matter infinitely,

[44:20] it will break down but then eventually reform

[44:23] into, you know, other shapes

[44:26] and eventually its original shape

[44:28] that somehow we're gonna-

[44:29] You have been microdosing, Dan.

[44:30] We're gonna circle around to Amityville again.

[44:37] The infinite regress of this bit

[44:39] will eventually turn into us watching them film.

[44:42] So it's interesting that you talk about circles.

[44:46] No definitive answer to that,

[44:49] but I guess how could there be?

[44:51] Yeah, unless Stuart reveals himself to be a god

[44:54] or a Q-like figure, Q from Star Trek The Next Generation,

[44:58] not Q the conspiracy character.

[45:00] Sort of the version of Kang from Loki or something, yeah.

[45:03] It's interesting that you guys bring up a god-like figure

[45:06] because...

[45:09] Life reminds me of a stone here in the Flophouse.

[45:15] Make a move when-

[45:16] Shatterass, the king's former seneschal

[45:19] turned rogue chronomancer

[45:21] has kidnapped your companion Tanzer Silverview

[45:25] in his clock of ages at the peak of his shattered tower.

[45:29] Wait a minute, what's going on?

[45:30] Rain lashed down on you

[45:32] as you huddle in the lee of a rocky outcrop.

[45:35] Elliot, of course, you'll be playing the role

[45:37] of Jeremy Scale's Fang Battle.

[45:40] Dan, you'll be playing the role of Lucian Buttwatcher.

[45:44] Dark forces gather above the tower.

[45:47] You only have 90 minutes to stop Shatterass

[45:50] from completing his ritual,

[45:52] a ritual that Tanzer's noble blood is a key component.

[45:56] How will you enter the chronomancer's keep?

[45:59] So why don't you guys gather your dice?

[46:00] You're gonna need at least one D20,

[46:02] a couple of D6s, maybe a D4.

[46:04] Are we supposed to have those on hand or?

[46:07] Well, I guess...

[46:09] What if we decide to take a long rest?

[46:11] Okay.

[46:14] Take a long rest in the, I mean...

[46:17] You're gonna want to take a short rest.

[46:18] You only have 90 minutes to prevent the ritual.

[46:21] I'm kind of hoping that, you know,

[46:23] the circumstances will take care of themselves.

[46:28] You think Tanzer's going to free himself.

[46:30] I like this plan.

[46:31] He's thinking globally, but he's acting locally,

[46:33] by which he means just a couple inches around him

[46:35] at the moment.

[46:36] Yeah, sort of hyper-locally,

[46:37] where I just think about my own concerns.

[46:40] So it sounds like you're not prepared

[46:42] to complete this flop tale.

[46:44] So I think we might have to save this

[46:45] for another future Flop House mini.

[46:48] Please.

[46:49] So for Life's The Pits,

[46:53] The Peach Pit Pit Stop,

[46:55] and The Peach Pit After Dark,

[46:56] I've been Stuart Wellington,

[46:58] and I've been joined by my two pals,

[47:00] Elliot Kalin and Dan McCoy.

[47:02] We are representatives of the Flop House podcast,

[47:04] a great podcast that's on the maximum fun network

[47:08] of podcasts.

[47:09] There's plenty of other good podcasts,

[47:11] arguably some as complicated as this one.

[47:15] In addition, this podcast is going to be heavily edited

[47:18] and hopefully juiced up by Alexander Smith,

[47:21] who has done plenty of great work for us.

[47:23] You can find him at HowlDotty on various social media.

[47:26] He also does a great podcast called Fast Track,

[47:30] of which we are going to be guests on,

[47:32] I think probably around the same time this episode drops.

[47:36] If you want to hear the spookiest, scariest song

[47:38] in the universe.

[47:39] Sexiest, spookiest, scariest song.

[47:42] I mean, I felt that went without saying,

[47:44] but I guess, yeah.

[47:46] Yeah, so thanks again, guys.

[47:48] You have anything else to plug?

[47:52] The next iteration of this show,

[47:55] whatever it may be, I plug it now.

[47:58] I future plug it.

[48:00] Bye!
