FH Mini 63 - The Peach Pit

[0:00] Hey, welcome to the Peach Pit, the number one show about the original peaches and their

[0:08] home the Flophouse podcast.

[0:11] Today we're going to be talking about Flophouse episode 378, The Amityville in Space.

[0:18] That's not the actual title.

[0:19] It's just Amityville in Space.

[0:21] But before we get into that today, we are joined by two amazing guests.

[0:25] That's right.

[0:26] We are joined by two of the original peaches, Dan McCoy and Elliot Kalin.

[0:29] Hey guys.

[0:30] Thanks so much for joining us.

[0:31] Hey, thanks for having me.

[0:33] Thank you so much.

[0:34] Yeah.

[0:35] Thank you so much for having us.

[0:36] I'll, Dan can be the wary one and I'll be the one who goes wholeheartedly into this

[0:40] bit.

[0:41] I know you guys are super excited.

[0:42] Uh, I don't, I don't know if you're familiar with our show, but we're an after show where

[0:45] we listen, uh, chat, talk, review all the stuff about, uh, our favorite podcast, the

[0:52] Flophouse.

[0:53] Um, and of course, because you're here, we're so excited because you guys are two, two of

[0:58] the three hosts of that show, the Flophouse and obviously me, Stuart Wellington, I'm also

[1:01] the third host.

[1:02] Okay.

[1:03] It's not that important.

[1:04] I was going to say, I was sorry that you couldn't get Stuart here today.

[1:06] Uh, no, I'm here.

[1:07] I'm Stuart.

[1:08] Dan, we're friends.

[1:09] It's weird you wouldn't recognize someone you've been doing a podcast with for 15 years.

[1:14] The reality of, I feel the floor of my reality just like dropping from beneath me.

[1:20] Yeah.

[1:21] It's, it's, it's sickening for a second until you just, you just go with it.

[1:24] Um, uh, and then we all float down here.

[1:26] So the important Dan, as long as you're hailing the new flesh, I think it'll be fine.

[1:29] Um, I think right up top, let's talk about, uh, let's talk about the biggest thing in

[1:33] the episode.

[1:34] That's right.

[1:35] 15 years, guys.

[1:37] What do you think?

[1:38] Did you ever expect that in 15 years of doing the podcast?

[1:41] I know it's been a little bit less for you, Elliot, uh, but 15 years of doing the podcast,

[1:46] you would be reviewing Amityville in space.

[1:50] Uh, I would, you know, I would say 15 years ago, if you said Elliot 15 years from now,

[1:54] you'd be reviewing Amityville in space.

[1:55] I would say, I don't, I don't, am I okay?

[1:58] I don't think so.

[1:59] Is that a movie?

[2:00] And they said, it will be.

[2:02] And I would say, what are the things we need to know about the future?

[2:04] And the person would say, Oh, don't you wish you knew that seems really mean.

[2:11] Yeah.

[2:12] Man makes plans.

[2:13] Elliot laughs.

[2:14] No, I'm not the one who was laughing.

[2:15] This is the God, the straight strange traveler from the future, a God of sorts.

[2:19] Some call him God, other calls him the devil.

[2:21] You know, it's a, it's, it's a whole, uh, duality thing.

[2:24] So Dan, it's, uh, it has been 15 years for you as you are the creator, founder, uh, genius

[2:30] behind the flop house.

[2:31] Uh, so yeah, how do you feel about this little house you've constructed?

[2:36] Uh, yeah, I guess I feel good.

[2:41] I mean, like it's definitely, I did not expect actual success when I started it.

[2:48] I have to, I have to say, so I, I feel good about it.

[2:50] What did you expect?

[2:51] I don't know.

[2:53] I look, I was throwing a lot of stuff against the wall back then, trying to like figure

[2:57] out how to make some kind of showbiz career.

[3:01] And I guess that's what happened.

[3:03] I made some kind of showbiz career.

[3:06] You had an animated web series, let's not forget the feces you were throwing against

[3:10] the wall.

[3:11] I don't know how that was going to help, but you know, you might not have frustration.

[3:13] You know, you might not have expected success, but boy, you have found it because according

[3:17] to Instagram user Nikki and Wonderland, the flop house is the best movie podcast, unbelievable

[3:24] chemistry between the three of you.

[3:27] But please bring back Hallie.

[3:28] Unfortunately we couldn't get Hallie maybe on the next episode of the peach pit.

[3:32] I mean, she will be on the show soon.

[3:34] I can say that.

[3:35] Yeah.

[3:36] Um, so should we, should we tease it or should we just say like, we'll get to teasing later

[3:42] on the episode guys.

[3:43] Don't get, don't rush through this.

[3:44] I don't get to rap with you guys that often.

[3:46] So, uh, only once a week.

[3:50] So, uh, as we always start off, uh, the peach bit, we, uh, we have a special segment called

[3:56] was it a hot one where we listened to the intro of the show and we decide was it a hot

[4:01] one or not?

[4:02] So let's just, uh, let's just peep this little peeper on this episode.

[4:06] We discuss Amityville in space to be clear, we're still on earth.

[4:14] It's Amityville that's in space.

[4:16] Well, technically we're all in space, Stuart.

[4:19] What the, okay.

[4:22] Was it a hot one?

[4:24] Uh, I mean, I like the Alex picked up on the pigs in space thing I was doing and added

[4:30] the reverb to it.

[4:32] Um, you know, and he's been trying some new stuff with those intros, like letting some

[4:37] of the music run while we yap.

[4:39] I'd say the only thing missing from that intro was Elliot.

[4:42] Yeah.

[4:44] I mean, I thought it was a hot intro, but I think the thing keeping it from being blistering

[4:47] is that I wasn't there.

[4:49] Oh wow.

[4:50] What?

[4:51] So, uh, this, this is actually really exciting for me because normally when I do this segment,

[4:54] I don't have you here.

[4:56] So what, what would you have said not to put you on the spot here?

[5:02] What would your hot one have been?

[5:04] I mean, it's the same spot that we're usually in because we kind of make them up on the

[5:08] spur of the moment.

[5:09] Wow.

[5:10] You just heard that here, folks.

[5:11] News.

[5:12] This is how they do it every time.

[5:14] In a way.

[5:15] In a way.

[5:16] I'm so used to interrupting you guys that not interrupting you and just letting that

[5:18] bit play out was a creative choice.

[5:19] So I kind of was in that intro.

[5:21] That's true.

[5:22] That's true.

[5:23] Sometimes the best acting is just reacting.

[5:25] So, uh, not quite a hot one, but kind of a hot one says Elliot Kalin.

[5:29] And of course, I think it's, you know what, I'm re I'm upgrading it to volcanic.

[5:32] It's as hot as you can get.

[5:33] Oh wow.

[5:34] Smoking.

[5:35] Somebody stop me.

[5:36] Okay.

[5:37] Smoking like aces.

[5:39] If your aces are smoking, please call the oil company and complain.

[5:43] Yeah.

[5:44] Stop playing your Texas hold them or whatever it is, you know, drop those.

[5:48] Don't hold them.

[5:49] Yeah.

[5:50] Drop those cards.

[5:51] Okay.

[5:52] So, uh, obviously you, we had, uh, this episode begun, began with a little bit of joking around,

[5:57] you know, it was stacked full of stories about going to Ikea, meatballs, et cetera, et cetera.

[6:03] And then Dan actually gives us a new introduction description of the show, describing the flop

[6:09] house as movie investigators.

[6:11] Of course, his description was immediately interrupted by Elliot Kalin and, uh, the appearance

[6:16] of a brand new flop house character.

[6:19] Let's listen.

[6:20] Uh, it comes out four times a month.

[6:21] Uh, two of those times are episodes like this one, where we talk about a bad movie, watch

[6:26] a bad movie.

[6:27] We talk about it or, you know, sometimes it's not bad, but the word on the street is it

[6:31] might be, you know, we heard a lot of rumors, uh, we're kind of like movie investigators.

[6:37] Yeah.

[6:38] We go down to the shoe shine boy and we go, you hear about any bad movies there, uh, Curly?

[6:42] And he goes, I don't know.

[6:43] Maybe I seen a bad movie.

[6:44] We hand him a 10 and he goes, all right, all right.

[6:47] There's a new bad movie coming out.

[6:48] It's called Amityville in, uh, in some ways, but my memory is fuzzy.

[6:52] We hand him another 10.

[6:53] He goes, oh yeah.

[6:54] Now I remember space.

[6:55] Amityville is space.

[6:56] Yeah.

[6:57] Yeah.

[6:58] So that's it.

[6:59] The appearance of Curly, AKA bank robber spaghetti Jones.

[7:03] And I got another big surprise for our audience.

[7:06] Spaghetti Jones is here.

[7:08] Yeah.

[7:09] I'm so excited to be with the, on my favorite podcast, the peach pit.

[7:12] I don't really listen to the flop house, but I do listen to the peach pit because I love

[7:16] the way you guys here just kind of like talk about the flop house and it's much shorter.

[7:22] It's much shorter than listening to the whole episode.

[7:23] It saves me a lot of time.

[7:24] Maybe not.

[7:25] You never know what this stacked cast.

[7:27] So, uh, so, uh, Curly, I'm so excited.

[7:31] It's really, it's super exciting.

[7:33] It's super exciting to find out that you're a listener, but you're not actually a fan

[7:35] of the flop house.

[7:36] Is it because you don't like movies or you just don't like the chemistry they have?

[7:40] I find them to be a little, uh, a little irritating at times.

[7:44] Uh, I wish they'd talk more about the movies and less about kind of hijinks and nonsense,

[7:48] but at the same time, I also don't listen to a lot of movie podcasts because that's

[7:52] my business is kind of informing people about movies and I like to keep my, uh, my work

[7:56] and my pleasure separate, if you know what I mean now.

[7:58] And I, I don't mean to call you out, but is this your first appearance on a podcast?

[8:02] Uh, no, I was on the flop house as you, as you heard, yeah, that's, oh, I thought you

[8:07] meant this one.

[8:08] Me being on the peach pit right now.

[8:09] And I was like, no, this is my second appearance on a podcast, as you should know.

[8:13] Uh, yeah, it's no, that was my first time being on a podcast and I just, but I love

[8:17] the medium, you know?

[8:18] Oh, wow.

[8:19] You're a big fan.

[8:20] So, uh, you're a fan of podcasts in general.

[8:22] Do you have any other shows that you like, uh, preferably shows on the maximum fun network?

[8:26] Yeah.

[8:27] You know, yeah.

[8:29] And, uh, you know, it's not on, it's not on, uh, judge Joanne Hudgman, but, uh, it's not

[8:33] on, it's not on Max Brun, but, uh, you know, the 99% visitables is pretty good.

[8:38] So, uh, yeah, yeah.

[8:40] Oh no.

[8:42] Continue telling me about what podcasts you listen to.

[8:44] No, no, it's all right.

[8:45] We can talk.

[8:46] We can answer your questions.

[8:47] It's it's, I, you know, I got a lot of them just stacking up some, my iPhones.

[8:50] Sure.

[8:51] So I think what the, I mean, I think what the listeners had on the podcast, what they

[8:56] I do remember so many, uh, interesting pronunciations, uh, before.

[9:02] Now you're getting into it.

[9:03] The, uh, uh, well, you know, my, my, uh, you know, I had a, uh, I had a speech and diction

[9:08] tweeter and it was Popeye.

[9:11] So, uh, I've been combing through all the messages in the Peach Pit speech pack, uh,

[9:18] messages from listeners and they're dying to know what's next for, uh, what's next for

[9:22] you, Curly?

[9:23] What's next for you, Spaghetti Jones?

[9:25] Well, you know, uh, it's going to be just like a hitting back to the fundamentals, you

[9:29] know, a bank robbing, occasionally shining shoes as a, as a front for being a kind of

[9:33] a, a, a informant, you know, forming on the streets.

[9:36] So I got to hit the streets and just find out what's going on with, with movies so I

[9:40] can inform people about them.

[9:42] Okay.

[9:43] And, uh, any plugs before you go?

[9:44] Uh, not for me.

[9:46] I may, I might start my own podcast.

[9:48] Uh, I think I'm going to call it Coily's Coiner and, uh, it's, it's, uh, it's, you know, just

[9:52] me talking about things I seen, things I could maybe see if I, uh, if the right amount

[9:58] of money's, uh, crossing my palm.

[10:00] You know, a lot of the podcast is going to be just me being like,

[10:03] oh, I wish I could tell you about this thing, but I kind of don't remember what it's going on.

[10:06] Maybe hit the Patreon button and and perhaps I'll perhaps I'll remember it for the next episode.

[10:11] Extortion. Oh, that sounds great.

[10:13] Thank you so much for joining us, Curly.

[10:15] And let's get back to the rest of the show.

[10:19] So I was leaving an opening for station identification.

[10:25] Yeah, yeah. He's worried.

[10:26] Yeah, worried that the satellite feed to Curly to make sure it was cut off before we returned.

[10:31] Now, this is also this episode falls during the the month of small timber, small member.

[10:38] And this is actually we kind of this episode breaks down the the history

[10:44] and potentially the terrible future of small timber, small member.

[10:48] Dan, what how do you feel now that now that it's come to light

[10:53] that small members in part you're doing?

[10:56] Are you fully on team small member to join the rest of the folder?

[10:59] Are you still a holdout?

[11:00] Come to light that it's my I don't think it was ever any in any doubt.

[11:06] I think if I if if one recalls the small timber, small member rift,

[11:11] it was that I mistakenly said small member when,

[11:16] you know, coining the idea of like September will be our month of small movies.

[11:22] And then you guys latched on to it.

[11:25] And then only after the fact, I suppose it should be small timber.

[11:28] I don't know what I was thinking.

[11:30] And as is often the case, you won't let one of my mistakes just, you know, go

[11:36] like give me the room to be a fallible human and just be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[11:41] Give it as as celebrating your acts of creation.

[11:44] Yeah. And so now there's a yeah, there's there's sex.

[11:48] I know, Dan. I know, Dan, that you would rather be a modern day George Lucas

[11:51] and go back and fix what you think are problems with the original,

[11:55] which are really what people love about it.

[11:57] But, you know, maybe maybe you want to insert a scene with Jabba the Hutt

[12:00] that there's really no point for because just repeating information

[12:03] that was in the Greedo scene.

[12:04] But what if someone steps on his tail and his eyes bug out all funny?

[12:08] Yeah. What if what if what if the power dynamic that's being established

[12:11] between Han Solo, smuggler, afraid of his life and Jabba the Hutt,

[12:15] incredible crime lord, a member of the band, the incredible crime lords.

[12:20] What if that was also a member of the family, the Incredibles?

[12:23] Yeah. What if that was just completely ignored and and he stepped on his tail,

[12:27] thus having Han Solo, I guess, put Jabba in his place for a moment

[12:31] with no punishment whatsoever?

[12:33] Yeah. You want to do that kind of thing with small timber, small member.

[12:35] And you're like, oh, I always meant it to be small timber.

[12:38] So I guess I'll go back and change it so that me as an old man is happy,

[12:42] even though it's making millions of fans around the world unhappy.

[12:45] That's how you feel about it.

[12:46] Yes. Well, Dan McCoy, you're not alone there.

[12:50] Combing through the the Peach Pit speech pack,

[12:53] there's plenty of other listeners, such as listener

[12:57] at Fanny Pack Girl 84 on Instagram, who says,

[13:01] my vote is small timber fight me.

[13:04] So I guess I'm

[13:06] both legally required to fight this person. Yeah.

[13:10] So after we talk about small timber a little bit,

[13:15] it then goes on to the summary.

[13:16] The summary lasts 78 minutes,

[13:19] which is actually longer than the movie itself.

[13:22] Now, Elliott, were you to go back back a week ago

[13:26] when you recorded this episode?

[13:29] Uh, what would you have done differently?

[13:30] Would you have tightened it up? Would you have extended it?

[13:33] I mean, I assume tightened it up.

[13:35] Are you sure it was 78 minutes just for the summary?

[13:37] 78 minutes just for the summary from minute 1430 to 92 with 30.

[13:45] Huh? That's incredibly exact.

[13:48] If anything, I think I nailed it.

[13:49] Getting it, getting it exactly in a round number.

[13:52] I choose it.

[13:54] Wait, it ended at 92 30.

[13:56] The summary. No, you know what?

[13:58] I can't be right.

[13:59] Did I did I do a whoopsie?

[14:01] Because one of the great things about this episode

[14:03] is we have a couple of amazing whoopsies.

[14:05] And one of my favorites, of course, is comes from Mr.

[14:08] Elliot Palin over here.

[14:09] Is this is this called is this the segment called Moldy Peaches

[14:12] where it's all about Moldy Peaches?

[14:14] Yeah, you're a listener. That's incredible.

[14:16] Yep. So one of the big whoopsies, of course, comes from Elliot,

[14:19] where you said that the time that passed

[14:22] between the opening of the movie and the rest of the movie

[14:25] was almost 100 years in the future, when it was actually almost a thousand years.

[14:30] Now, what was it? Take us back.

[14:32] What was going on in your head at that time?

[14:34] At my head at that time was I was struggling with the fact

[14:37] that I never get to sleep because my children are mean to me

[14:39] and wake me up multiple times per night.

[14:41] And then during the day, they're also mean to me and yell at me a lot.

[14:44] And don't let me have any time to sit down or do anything like that.

[14:48] And so I kind of constantly feel like a needle is being shoved into my head.

[14:52] And so I think that's where my head was at at the time.

[14:54] It was hard for me to do that basic math.

[14:55] Kind of kind of silly when you think interesting.

[14:57] Yeah, interesting. Yeah.

[14:58] It's still it's I think I also got thrown off later in the movie.

[15:01] They do refer to eons for meaning less than a thousand years,

[15:05] which is not the case.

[15:06] So I think in my head I was exaggerating

[15:09] how much they were exaggerating the amount of time.

[15:11] But it was a foolish thing.

[15:12] I believe I corrected it a little bit later in the episode, though.

[15:15] You you actually did.

[15:16] And at that point, did you feel more comfortable in the rest of the episode?

[15:19] You felt a little bit looser, a little bit more, you know, natural.

[15:24] Yeah. Any time I can feel the the fingers poised over the tweet

[15:29] buttons of people who are about to tweet at me, a mistake I made at that

[15:33] mistake, you made.

[15:34] Oh, no, the mistake I made in Lake Mead.

[15:38] Oh, come at me.

[15:39] The every any time I feel that finger

[15:41] descending away, descending away from the tweet button

[15:44] as they hear me correct myself, that always makes me feel better.

[15:47] Now, Dan, at one point you describe Amityville in space

[15:50] as almost like a mockbuster for those listeners out there

[15:53] who aren't film professionals like yourself.

[15:56] What what is a mockbuster?

[15:59] Sure. A mockbuster is a movie made

[16:03] on the cheap with sort of a similar title or premise to something that was

[16:10] a blockbuster in movie theaters, or at least meant to be a blockbuster,

[16:14] meant to be a big movie, because, for instance,

[16:17] there's a snakes on a train off of stakes on a plane.

[16:20] Now, stakes on a plane on its own was not particularly successful,

[16:24] but they thought it could be.

[16:26] So it's a it's a gold rush.

[16:28] They're gambling on what might be big.

[16:31] But you got your transmorphers instead of your transformers.

[16:34] That kind of thing.

[16:34] I feel like I feel like transmorphers is the is the the epitome of it,

[16:38] where the hope is that someone will accidentally pick it up

[16:41] thinking that it is, yeah, the the actual movie.

[16:44] And I that and I as we talked about on the on the podcast,

[16:46] I believe in the past on it, not on Peach Pit, but on the flop house.

[16:49] Thank you.

[16:49] That there's there's a number of disappointed kids out there

[16:52] whose grandmas bought the wrong movie and were like, I got you that movie you love.

[16:56] And it's not it's not like, yeah, they are depending on America's grandmas

[17:00] because otherwise I'm not quite sure what the thinking is,

[17:05] because a movie that is cheaper to make is not cheaper to rent.

[17:10] I mean, for a lot of these, I guess they released the mockbuster version

[17:15] straight to streaming while these films are still in theaters.

[17:18] I guess, again, relying on people making the mistake that,

[17:22] oh, it's already available or maybe being like, well,

[17:26] we don't have the 20 bucks to go out to the movie, but I'll spend

[17:30] four dollars on this cut rate version.

[17:32] But yeah, I I'm not clear for the well, but it seems to work.

[17:38] So or that the algorithm will get tricked.

[17:40] They'll trick the algorithm.

[17:43] Now, speaking of mockbusters, the algorithm, let me just tell you, is dumb.

[17:48] Well, I don't know.

[17:49] I mean, I thought, you know, yeah, Don Cheadle is pretty funny.

[17:52] Yeah, I mean, but he tripped himself up.

[17:54] He should have realized that

[17:57] harassing and haranguing his star player,

[17:59] the son of LeBron, the only leverage he had was a bad idea.

[18:04] It was a mistake. Yeah.

[18:09] What happens when you give a bug recreational drugs?

[18:13] What was the first recorded sound?

[18:15] How do we figure out how old the earth is?

[18:18] Let's find out together on our show.

[18:20] Let's learn everything where we learn anything and everything interesting.

[18:23] My name's Caroline, and I studied biodiversity and conservation.

[18:27] My name's Tom, and I studied computer science and cognitive.

[18:31] Did you?

[18:34] And my name's Ella, and I studied stem cells and regenerative medicine.

[18:37] On our show, we do as much research as you would for a class,

[18:40] but we don't get in trouble for making each other laugh.

[18:42] And we get to say, fuck,

[18:45] maybe not in the trailer.

[18:52] Are you ready to binge watch something old?

[18:55] The Greatest Generation is a podcast about Star Trek

[18:58] by a couple of hosts a little bit embarrassed to even have a Star Trek

[19:02] podcast hosted by me, Ben Harrison and me, Adam Pranica.

[19:08] We get into the critical, the technical, the science

[19:11] fictional aspects of the show we love while roasting it and each other.

[19:15] At the same time, we've completed an entire series about Star Trek,

[19:18] the next generation and another one about Star Trek, Deep Space Nine.

[19:22] And we've just begun Star Trek Voyager.

[19:25] So now is a great time to start watching a new Star Trek series with us.

[19:29] So subscribe to the Greatest Generation on Maximum Fun dot org

[19:32] or wherever you get your podcasts and become a friend of DeSoto today.

[19:39] So there's a speaking of Mockbusters, multiple times in the episode,

[19:43] Elliott goes on a run listing all of the other Amityville movies

[19:49] that are currently on IMDb. Let's listen.

[19:51] But that since 2011,

[19:54] there's been the Amityville Haunting, the Amityville Asylum,

[19:57] Amityville Death House, the Amityville Playhouse.

[20:00] Amityville No Escape, Amityville Vanishing Point,

[20:03] the Amityville Terror, Amityville Prison,

[20:05] the Amityville Murders,

[20:06] that's not, and these are not the,

[20:07] the big budget one was Amityville The Awakening,

[20:09] the Amityville Harvest, and Amityville Poltergeist,

[20:11] Witches of Amityville Academy,

[20:13] then Amityville Island, Amityville Vampire,

[20:15] Amityville 1974, but then on IMDB, these-

[20:17] Okay, and that's just a taste, that's just a sample.

[20:20] Now, some listeners were suggesting

[20:22] that you were just coming up with all those titles

[20:24] on the spot, Elliot.

[20:27] Tell me about it.

[20:29] They're wrong, I wish that I was so talented

[20:31] that I could come up with all those titles

[20:33] right off the top of my head.

[20:34] No, those were all real titles of real movies.

[20:36] And I mean real, R-E-A-L, not just R-E-E-L,

[20:39] but both apply.

[20:41] Yeah, I listened to that clip, and I think about,

[20:43] I was talking, I saw a friend of mine this weekend

[20:45] who was saying that when she listens to the show,

[20:47] sometimes she hits the 1.5 speed button,

[20:50] and she can't tell when Elliot's talking,

[20:53] whether that's true or not,

[20:54] she has to wait till one of the others of us talk.

[20:58] Yeah, so listening to all those titles,

[21:02] because there were a lot of them,

[21:03] are there any that you, was there any that stuck out

[21:06] that you were like, I wish we watched that

[21:09] instead of Amityville in Space?

[21:11] Almost any of them, to be honest,

[21:13] after watching Amityville in Space.

[21:15] But I'm curious about, there was one that was,

[21:18] I think that Witches' Amityville Academy

[21:21] or something like that,

[21:22] just because I don't know what that would be,

[21:23] and I think I mentioned-

[21:24] I can guess.

[21:26] There was one called Amityville Bigfoot,

[21:30] which seems like Gilding the Lily,

[21:31] you already have a ghost in the house,

[21:33] why do you need a Bigfoot also?

[21:34] But to be honest, once Dan started going

[21:38] into the director's previous work,

[21:40] when I saw Noah's Shark-

[21:41] Noah's Shark!

[21:42] That's the one I was curious about,

[21:44] although I watched the trailer,

[21:45] it was not the movie I thought it was gonna be.

[21:48] You were expecting a more true to the Bible version, right?

[21:51] Yeah, more religious film.

[21:53] Yes, exactly.

[21:54] Where Noah sends out a shark to find dry land

[21:57] and so he just eats him.

[21:58] And brings back an olive branch,

[22:01] and Noah's like, how did you get this?

[22:05] And from my understanding,

[22:06] I believe the screenplay to Noah's Shark

[22:08] was later on adapted to the Darren Aronofsky Noah movie,

[22:12] right?

[22:13] Yes, unfortunately the budget did not allow him the shark,

[22:16] so they had to cut the shark.

[22:18] The weird thing is they started shooting with the shark,

[22:20] and then halfway through they were like,

[22:22] we can't afford you, sorry,

[22:23] we gotta let you go.

[22:23] And they let the shark go into a children's swimming pool,

[22:25] it was a horrible bloodbath.

[22:27] And they had to cut those scenes out.

[22:29] Had to cut them all out.

[22:30] Now, for fans of The Flop House,

[22:33] one of the biggest joys are whoopsies, right?

[22:35] Do you think any fans of The Flop House

[22:37] are listening right now?

[22:39] I mean, nobody else is.

[22:41] I hope so.

[22:42] Other than the NSA, I suppose.

[22:45] Eagle eye.

[22:46] And I think this episode's number one whoopsie moment

[22:49] came during the amazing Crystal Game hidden mini

[22:52] brought to us by Dan McCoy.

[22:54] Let's catch a little listen on this one.

[22:56] Jesus Christ-le?

[22:57] That is not from Greasy, Greasy, Greasy Jesus.

[23:04] That was from Jesus Christ Super Crystal.

[23:08] No.

[23:09] Were you trying to say Jesus Christ Super Crystal

[23:10] and you said Greasy's Jeans?

[23:14] Yes.

[23:16] Greasy's Jeans, Dan.

[23:19] Take us back there.

[23:21] What was going on in your head?

[23:23] Well, if you listen, I never actually said Greasy's Jeans,

[23:27] but I did go along with Ellie.

[23:30] What did you say, Greasy's Jeans?

[23:31] What was it?

[23:31] I said Greasy's Jesus.

[23:33] Greasy's Jesus?

[23:34] All right.

[23:37] So I guess that was my whoopsie.

[23:40] Yeah, no, I was trying to get to-

[23:42] What Dan was trying to say was Greasy Jesus.

[23:50] Less popular, had a harder time finding followers.

[23:54] Greasy Jesus, people would like gather in corners

[23:58] and whisper and be like, you know,

[24:00] I like a lot of what he's saying,

[24:01] but there's just something really off-putting about this guy.

[24:04] Well, and also, and his message is a little one-noted.

[24:07] He's blessed are the greasy,

[24:08] because the earth's gonna be their possession.

[24:09] It's gonna be greasy.

[24:11] If your neighbor should strike you on the cheek,

[24:14] give him a greasy cheek.

[24:15] There's a lot of that kind of stuff, yeah.

[24:17] Blessed are the greasy,

[24:19] because they will be slippery

[24:20] when their villains try and grab them.

[24:23] Because, of course, normal Jesus is like-

[24:25] It's really greasy, it's hard to stand in.

[24:27] That was a big one.

[24:28] Normal Jesus makes a point of saying,

[24:30] you know, turn the other non-greasy cheek

[24:32] and stuff like that.

[24:33] Yeah, yeah.

[24:34] He would say, consider the grease in the fields.

[24:37] Yeah.

[24:38] It does not spin, neither does it sow,

[24:39] but it's pretty greasy, right?

[24:42] Yeah, I come not with, what is, what is,

[24:45] what did he say, come not with a something,

[24:47] but with, I don't know, a bunch of canola oil.

[24:50] And then, of course, he would sing the Monkees hit song,

[24:55] Cheer Up Greasy Gene.

[24:57] Yeah.

[24:58] You're a dream believer in the homecoming grease.

[25:00] He'll go to the candy shop and buy some greasiest pieces.

[25:06] And give them to a greasiest monkey, yeah.

[25:08] Yeah, no, I was trying to say,

[25:11] Jesus crystal, super crystal, I think.

[25:15] But-

[25:16] That could work, that could work.

[25:16] Right from the top, I instead said, Jesus.

[25:20] Almost immediately went south.

[25:22] Yeah.

[25:23] And then, but you leaned into it,

[25:24] and I think, I feel like that's what led it

[25:26] to be the number one whoopsie of the episode.

[25:30] Oh, thanks.

[25:31] Oh, wow.

[25:32] Yeah, so-

[25:33] The N-O-W.

[25:34] Number one whoopsie.

[25:34] Now, the number one whoopsie.

[25:35] So, before we wrap this up, fans are kind of dying to know,

[25:40] Dan, did Audrey ever come back from Ikea?

[25:44] Yes, she did come, she did return.

[25:48] So, everyone can be happy about that.

[25:50] She brought, we've got two big bins for our recycling,

[25:55] for our paper, and our sort of like cans and plastic.

[26:00] Call page six.

[26:02] And she got several sort of photo frames.

[26:09] I don't know how many photos she's planning

[26:11] on framing and putting up,

[26:13] but there were at least six.

[26:14] Well, count the frames, Dan.

[26:16] There's like six or seven of them.

[26:17] First step.

[26:20] Maybe I'm over-acting.

[26:21] One, two, three, four, five.

[26:23] I mean, don't count them now.

[26:24] That's not what I,

[26:25] this is saying if you wanted to know how many.

[26:27] There's five of them.

[26:28] And some of the Ikea brand Ziploc bags,

[26:33] which I assume were just because she happened to be there

[26:36] and not because there's anything particularly good

[26:38] about these Ziploc bags.

[26:40] Well, you have to put them together yourself.

[26:41] Yeah.

[26:42] We'll write in if you're a big fan

[26:44] of the Ikea brand Ziplocs.

[26:45] So as we teased earlier,

[26:49] there's gotta be stuff coming up.

[26:50] What's next for the flop house, Dan?

[26:52] Elliot?

[26:54] Well, directly after this,

[26:56] we're going to record the commentary track

[26:59] for Country Bears, which-

[27:01] What?

[27:02] But you said we were only doing

[27:03] one commentary track this year.

[27:06] Well, we got enough newer upgrading members,

[27:10] or, well, look, we set a target

[27:15] and we almost got there,

[27:16] and that's good enough for us.

[27:18] As you listen to the show,

[27:20] a man who says,

[27:21] Greasus instead of Jesus.

[27:23] I'm the, I cannot, you know,

[27:26] in Greasus Jesus's name,

[27:28] let he who is without-

[27:31] Grease.

[27:31] Grease cast the first,

[27:34] I don't know, Crisco.

[27:36] So the point is, like,

[27:37] who am I to say that you can't have

[27:39] a Country Bears commentary

[27:40] just because we didn't try to get our target.

[27:43] We came close enough,

[27:44] that's what I say.

[27:45] You're showing the kind of compassion

[27:47] and mercy that Greasus shows.

[27:49] Yep.

[27:51] And then, and I think we mentioned earlier,

[27:52] I think a certain Halston Haglund

[27:54] is going to be returning to the show.

[27:56] Very exciting.

[27:57] Next month.

[27:58] Yeah.

[27:59] And October, of course,

[28:01] will be Shocktober as usual.

[28:02] Of course, yeah.

[28:04] Well, thank you so much for joining me.

[28:05] Do you guys have anything you want to plug?

[28:08] I don't have anything I want to plug,

[28:10] but I will say here at the very end

[28:12] that we have a sponsor.

[28:15] You know, there's no requirement.

[28:16] It has to be in the middle of the show.

[28:18] So I'm just going to say

[28:19] that Lume Labs has been our sponsor for this nonsense.

[28:22] If you want to feel like you're listening

[28:25] to this weird episode of The Flop House all the time.

[28:27] All the time.

[28:28] Maybe microdosing is for you.

[28:30] You've probably heard about it.

[28:31] If not, just know that all sorts of people

[28:32] are microdosing daily to feel healthier

[28:34] and perform better.

[28:35] And our show is sponsored by Microdose Gummies,

[28:39] which deliver perfect entry-level doses of THC

[28:41] that help you feel just the right amount of good.

[28:44] I don't know whether a Microdose Gummy

[28:45] would have helped me understand this better or worse.

[28:50] You know, like I kind of felt like

[28:52] I was in my own version of the rehearsal.

[28:54] Those levels of reality floated away.

[28:58] But.

[28:59] Dan's trying to talk me off right now.

[29:01] Yeah, if you want to.

[29:03] If you want to enjoy that kind of feeling,

[29:06] chemically, Microdose is available nationwide.

[29:09] And to learn more about microdosing THC,

[29:11] go to microdose.com and use code FLOP

[29:14] to get free shipping and 30% off your first order.

[29:17] Links can be found in the show's description.

[29:18] But again, that's microdose.com code FLOP.

[29:22] And also I want to say,

[29:23] check out the other great podcasts at maximumfun.org.

[29:26] Yeah, if you're a fan of the Peach Pit,

[29:28] you should probably also check out The Flop House,

[29:30] which is on Maximum Fun,

[29:31] as well as a number of other great shows.

[29:33] Check them all out.

[29:34] They're so much fun.

[29:36] Obviously, if you are responsible

[29:39] for handling the content on Warhammer TV,

[29:42] I feel like this is a perfect audition tape

[29:45] for me to be a host of some kind of reality competition show

[29:48] on Warhammer TV where I like,

[29:50] I don't know, like judge people's painting or some shit.

[29:53] But like, I'll do it super cool and funny.

[29:55] Why don't you hire me?

[29:56] Come on.

[29:58] And thanks again to Mike.

[30:00] Dan Elliott. I mean, Stuart's already a minor internet celebrity. He's been getting super

[30:05] buff. I can see his traps and his pecs right now. And I'm not even on a cut. This is just

[30:15] normal Stuart. Yeah, and I'm going to let my feeling of being used as I suddenly realize

[30:20] the reason for the episode not cloud my complete recommendation for Stuart to host something

[30:26] on Warhammer TV. I didn't realize I was a supporting player in his audition tape. I

[30:33] would have gladly done it if asked. It's a wicked game. It wouldn't have turned me on

[30:38] as much, Elliott. That's an important thing. So again, yep, this is Stuart for the Peach

[30:44] Pit, which is part of the Flophouse. Come again next week. Bye!
