FH Mini 40 - TuBoy Talkin' Tube to 2 Dudes Tonight, That's Right 2

[0:00] Hey, it's me, Stuart, of the Blockhouse, and I'm one of the...

[0:11] Bursting into people's ears.

[0:13] Hey!

[0:14] Like if Porky Pig was at the beginning of the cartoon.

[0:17] More people would watch Looney Tunes.

[0:21] That's what it is.

[0:23] That's why they got cancelled.

[0:25] Looney Tunes got cancelled, because not enough people were watching.

[0:29] Yeah, no Porky in the front.

[0:31] Okay, so...

[0:33] Porky in the front, Party in the back.

[0:35] Gross, dude.

[0:36] I was trying to keep a clean podcast for a change.

[0:39] So, I'm one of the three hosts of the Flophouse podcast.

[0:42] Joined with me are my two co-hosts, who will introduce themselves now.

[0:46] I'm Dan McCoy.

[0:48] I'm Elliot Kalin.

[0:49] That's right.

[0:50] Himself.

[0:51] That guy from the Flophouse.

[0:52] How'd they get me?

[0:53] I'm always here.

[0:54] Thanks.

[0:55] Now, tonight we're...

[0:56] Now, Stuart, have you said your name?

[0:58] Oh, yeah.

[0:59] Because I don't think you have.

[1:00] I think I said I was Stuart from the Flophouse.

[1:02] Stuart Wellington.

[1:03] Yeah, but you did change your last name to From the Flophouse.

[1:06] Stuart from the Flophouse.

[1:08] Yeah.

[1:09] Legally.

[1:10] So, we're a podcast about bad movies normally,

[1:13] but you're tuning into one of our mini-episodes,

[1:15] which we're recording tonight,

[1:17] and we are not going to be doing what we normally do,

[1:20] which is watching a bad movie and then reviewing it.

[1:22] No, no, no.

[1:23] We are doing something special,

[1:24] because as you guys, I'm sure, have been checking your calendars,

[1:28] it is the nine-month anniversary of the now classic Flophouse Mini.

[1:34] So, we are doing the next episode.

[1:37] Tonight we are doing Two Boy Talking Tube to Two Dudes.

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

[1:42] I was thinking about this the other day for random reasons

[1:47] and could not remember the full title.

[1:49] I could not bring it into my mind.

[1:51] So, can you say it again?

[1:52] Yeah.

[1:53] It's Two Boy Talking Tube to Two Dudes tonight.

[1:56] Because let's just break this down.

[1:58] It's the that's right that I always forget.

[2:00] Let's break this down.

[2:02] Two Boy, that's me, Stuart Wellington.

[2:04] The two dudes.

[2:05] Of the Flophouse.

[2:06] Yep.

[2:07] It's Dan and Elliot from the Flophouse.

[2:08] Talking Tube means we're going to be talking boob tube.

[2:11] We're not talking movies.

[2:12] We're talking about the small screen.

[2:14] Things you can watch on your phone.

[2:16] And then we're going to be doing it tonight,

[2:18] and it's all right because we're going to be doing it,

[2:20] and you can't stop us.

[2:21] Unless you turn off the podcast, which would make me very bummed.

[2:24] Yeah.

[2:25] Yeah, this is a pretty easy way to stop us.

[2:27] You can do it with a touch of a button.

[2:29] Don't say that, Dan.

[2:30] They're going to tell you that.

[2:31] Literally a button that is a stop button.

[2:33] Now, Stuart, I'm sorry.

[2:34] I wasn't paying attention before.

[2:36] It's Two Boy Talking Tube to Two Dudes tonight.

[2:40] Which anniversary are we at?

[2:41] Nine months.

[2:42] Nine months.

[2:43] So, for anyone who conceived on the night that we first did this,

[2:48] now the baby is here.

[2:50] Congratulations.

[2:51] Take it to the hospital.

[2:52] Quite possible.

[2:53] It was an exciting night.

[2:54] Congratulations.

[2:55] It's an overlong title.

[2:56] Okay, so we're talking TV, guys.

[2:58] We're not talking movies.

[2:59] So, of course, the first thing that everybody wants to talk about,

[3:02] that's right, the Emmys.

[3:04] The Emmys were a thing that happened recently.

[3:06] Awards were given out to different shows.

[3:08] No, not that recently.

[3:09] I mean, it's recently in terms of a few weeks.

[3:11] I mean, it's not recent in that it's like.

[3:13] On a geologic scale.

[3:14] That's true.

[3:15] I guess, good point.

[3:16] You pulled that one on me last time.

[3:18] On the geologic scale, it hasn't even happened yet.

[3:20] Yes.

[3:21] So, let's just start this off.

[3:23] I'm going to start with Outstanding Comedy Series.

[3:27] The winner was Ted Lasso.

[3:30] What do you think, Dan?

[3:32] Well, I didn't follow the Emmys at all this year.

[3:37] Okay.

[3:38] Now it's your chance.

[3:39] So, I have no idea.

[3:41] We're just rapping.

[3:42] You don't have to be an expert.

[3:43] I'm just saying I don't know what else was nominated.

[3:46] Oh, I got it right here, Dan.

[3:48] It was up against Blackish, Cobra Kai, Emily in Paris, The Flight Attendant, Hacks, The Kaminsky Method, which I swear is not a real show.

[4:05] Yeah, okay.

[4:06] There's nothing you can say to convince me that this is an actual show that I can watch, and Pen15.

[4:15] Okay.

[4:16] Well, with the caveat that I have not seen Pen15, which I understand is very good, I would say that of that crop, it certainly deserved it.

[4:28] The only way I was going to say it didn't is that it is of that kind of comedy that is often more gently amusing than laugh out loud funny.

[4:38] Like I enjoy being with the characters more than I have a hearty belly laugh.

[4:43] Dan, remember entirely on not having watched it but impressions you've had from people talking about it?

[4:48] No, I'm talking about Ted Lasso.

[4:51] Oh, Ted Lasso.

[4:52] Yeah, yeah.

[4:53] You have watched it.

[4:54] Yeah.

[4:55] I have watched that show.

[4:56] I'm saying the only reason I wouldn't have possibly said that it was the best of that Motley Crue is maybe if you're arguing that it wasn't enough of a comedy.

[5:06] Now, if it was Motley Crue, which member of the band would Ted Lasso be?

[5:10] I was going to say that for a later segment, but we can do it right now.

[5:14] Yeah, is it Nikki Sixx, Dan, or is it –

[5:17] Yeah, it is.

[5:18] Since that's the only member of Motley Crue, I would have been able to –

[5:21] Well, would it be Tommy Lee because they have the same initials?

[5:23] Tommy Lee, Ted Lasso, same initials.

[5:25] Wow.

[5:26] There you go.

[5:27] Wow.

[5:28] Crack the code, the Bible code.

[5:29] LA, do you have any opinions on this?

[5:31] I haven't seen – to be honest, I haven't seen most of those shows.

[5:33] I still haven't seen Ted Lasso.

[5:36] My boss's wife – my boss's husband works for that show, so I can't – even if I had seen it, I wouldn't say anything negative about it.

[5:42] Oh, okay.

[5:43] But I haven't seen it yet, but I will say, Dan, that gentle comedy that is not laugh-out-loud funny but is kind of pleasant is kind of where – it seems to be kind of where comedy is right now in a lot of ways after Schitt's Creek, which is a fine show that I enjoy swept last year.

[5:58] But it's not a show where I watch it and I'm like I cannot wait to have my sides split open from laughter.

[6:03] It's a show where I'm like this is going to be fun.

[6:05] This is going to be fun.

[6:06] I mean I know what you're saying, but I think that the actors were so talented in creating those specific characters that I would laugh heartily at a lot of it even if – yeah, maybe joke writing wasn't that show's strongest suit.

[6:23] I mean I think – but I think it's a really – that show is a really well-written show.

[6:26] It's a really well-performed show.

[6:27] I love everybody on it.

[6:29] I think it's just not what they're – they're not going for a show that is like 30 Rock where it's like hitting you over the head with punchlines constantly, literally punching you in the face with jokes.

[6:38] I said literally because it's not a metaphor.

[6:40] Tina Fey's hand reaches out of the screen and punches you with a joke every time.

[6:44] But yeah, I haven't seen Ted Lassie yet.

[6:46] Kind of a Videodrome thing.

[6:47] Yeah.

[6:48] That's what happens in Videodrome.

[6:50] James Lynch is like I can't take all these jokes.

[6:52] The new flesh is too funny.

[6:56] I – obviously the problem is that the best comedy show, What We Do in the Shadows, was not even nominated, which is about to happen.

[7:04] It was not eligible that year.

[7:05] Oh, it wasn't?

[7:06] Yeah, because of its broadcast.

[7:07] Too many vampires?

[7:08] Yeah, they passed a vampire rule because of its broadcast schedule.

[7:10] Too many vampires.

[7:11] Like, oh, no.

[7:12] Those vampires are going to show up when we film them for the Emmy.

[7:15] We can't have – we can't.

[7:16] Jesse Thorne came in and made sure that no Dracula's were allowed.

[7:19] There were two issues.

[7:21] One was, yeah, if they win, you're just going to see an empty stage because the Draculas are not – and then an award trophy that floats in the air because they don't show up on film or video.

[7:30] But also because you don't want that many vampires loose in amongst Hollywood's brightest stars.

[7:35] No.

[7:36] They're just going to go crazy with the eating and the bloodsucking, and then what's going to happen?

[7:39] The only Hollywood vampires I want is a celebrity rock and roll band featuring Johnny Depp and a couple other turds.

[7:45] I mean, counterpoint, Elliot, if you have a bunch of vampires –

[7:49] Wait.

[7:50] What if the band was called Johnny Depp and a couple other turds?

[7:53] Then I would assume they're all vampires and just trying to throw me off the scent by talking about turds.

[7:58] Come on in.

[7:59] There's no vampires here, just a bunch of harmless turds.

[8:02] Now, counterpoint, Elliot, to what you're saying.

[8:05] If it's a celebration of Hollywood's best and brightest, maybe unleashing vampires would just ensure that those people would stay young and vital forever.

[8:17] It's certainly easier than having to CGI digital ghost versions of them forever and ever.

[8:23] I guess that's true.

[8:24] I mean the question is are the vampires going to bite them and make them part of their flock or are they going to tear them apart in an orgy of bloodlust?

[8:32] What kind of vamps are we talking?

[8:34] Exactly.

[8:35] That's too big a question mark for a professional award ceremony.

[8:39] Guys, we've only scratched the surface of this.

[8:42] I thought this was two guys talking teeth tonight, vampires specifically.

[8:46] All right.

[8:47] Tonight, that's right.

[8:48] We'll be talking vamps later.

[8:49] Don't worry.

[8:50] Okay.

[8:51] The after show talking vamps.

[8:53] Yeah.

[8:54] Next is outstanding drama series.

[8:57] Winner is The Crown.

[9:00] The Crown.

[9:02] And of course the television adaptation of Larry Crown starring Tom Hanks.

[9:05] Haven't seen the movie.

[9:06] Haven't seen the show.

[9:07] Don't know how accurate it is.

[9:08] Yeah.

[9:09] Again, this is one where I have not seen any of The Crown.

[9:12] So I cannot speak to the quality of that program.

[9:14] I will say this show richly deserved the award for outstanding show that my wife falls asleep to while I do the dishes in the other room.

[9:20] That sounds good.

[9:21] So it was up against The Boys, Bridgerton, The Handmaid's Tale, Lovecraft Country, The Mandalorian, Pose.

[9:37] This is us.

[9:40] Well, seeing as of those shows, I only have seen all of the second season of The Boys.

[9:51] And yeah, I don't know.

[9:54] The Mandalorian I saw a couple episodes of, but not this new season.

[9:57] Yeah, I've only seen a couple episodes of The Mandalorian.

[9:59] I've seen all of it.

[10:00] The first season of Pose, but I only just started the second season, which is the one that's a word would be for, um, and, uh, I haven't, it's, it was the sticks out to me.

[10:08] The most is this is us being on there.

[10:10] Cause there's like, is that the only network show on the list?

[10:13] I think it, uh, yes.

[10:16] Uh, and let, yeah, I guess FX doesn't count as a network show.

[10:19] I would call it, let me cable.

[10:20] I mean, non-cable, non-streaming.

[10:22] Yeah.

[10:22] Uh, yeah, like, yeah, the boys, uh, was a fine show to fold my laundry too.

[10:28] I wouldn't, I don't think I would nominate it for certainly think the second season is an improvement over the first season.

[10:35] Uh, standing drama at the fold.

[10:37] Yeah.

[10:38] Yeah.

[10:40] Is that just other forms of entertainment that you'd fold things during?

[10:45] Yeah.

[10:45] I mean, there's, there's television, film, music, uh, someone reading a newspaper article or magazine article to you.

[10:52] Sounds like no podcast category.

[10:54] Very strange.

[10:54] A real weird oversight for the foldies.

[10:56] Yeah.

[10:56] You would think, uh, so it sounds like we have some really firm opinions on this category.

[11:00] Let's just jump ahead to outstanding limited or anthology series.

[11:05] You're really saying how, how little television we seem to be watching in our regular lives, but okay.

[11:10] This is limited series or minimal series.

[11:12] Yep.

[11:13] Uh, the winner is the Queen's Gambit, uh, other, other shows in the, in the category, other, other nominees.

[11:22] I may destroy you mayor.

[11:25] Oh, East town, the underground railroad.

[11:29] One division.

[11:32] Uh huh.

[11:32] I mean, Queen's Gambit and Wondervision are the only ones in the series where I've seen all of both.

[11:37] Oh, wow.

[11:37] Um, but I saw a little bit of underground railroad and I thought that was good too.

[11:41] And I saw a little bit of, uh, what was the other ones?

[11:44] I may destroy you is great.

[11:46] It is super intense.

[11:48] Well, so the thing we watched the first episode, every time we're about to watch the second episode, we're like, do we really have, we're tired.

[11:53] Do we really have it in us to watch this show right now?

[11:56] Yeah.

[11:56] Like I, yeah, I, this is so weird to realize that in previous days when there was no pandemic, I would have seen, I think more of the things that were big than that.

[12:10] Like, I just haven't found myself watching television the same way.

[12:16] I don't know.

[12:16] Like I saw all of Wondervision and then we watched the Queen's Gambit.

[12:20] Like, I don't know about half of it.

[12:23] And neither of us seem to be like quite excited enough to push through.

[12:27] Oh, I really liked the Queen's Gambit.

[12:29] I found that I found the very ending of it to be kind of anticlimactic, but I liked it.

[12:32] I mean, I certainly liked the outfits and the hotel room, the design, the production design looked and so much of that I'm sure was also like, um, mixing real sets with CGI recreation, you know, of, of, of the time period.

[12:46] Which is Todd Vizzeria to weigh in on that one.

[12:48] Uh, I, the production design was beautiful.

[12:51] The, the, the clothes were beautiful.

[12:54] I love Anya Taylor-Joy in basically everything I've seen her in.

[12:57] I thought the supporting cast, you've never mentioned that before, Dan, but I have, I remember, I remember you, you did start the hashtag, not my princess peach trending on Twitter.

[13:06] So that seems to go against what you're saying, but like, can't she be normal now?

[13:10] But, but I also got this feeling from that show that it's like a deeply silly show that was trying to pretend it was important.

[13:18] Oh, I don't know about that.

[13:19] I think it was, it was a show that was, I think maybe attempting to hide how melodramatic it was at times.

[13:25] Uh, but it is, it's funny that it and WandaVision were both, uh, were both nominated because WandaVision is a superhero show and the Queen's Gambit is a chess drama that kind of takes the form of a superhero show in a way where like her superpower is chess.

[13:39] And, um, the, and, uh, there's something funny about, uh, and, and she builds her kind of like team of, of her support team of, uh, of side heroes and stuff like that.

[13:49] But, um, yeah, I don't know.

[13:51] I haven't seen most of the other ones.

[13:52] I watched the first episode of Mare of Easttown and I was like, I don't, I don't think I'm into murder shows these days.

[13:57] Yeah.

[13:58] I don't want to be taking the wrong, the accents, dude.

[14:01] And Guy Pearce with long hair.

[14:03] That if it was just called Guy Pearce with long hair and it was just him going around doing stuff, taking his shirt off, putting it back on.

[14:08] I'd watch that show every episode.

[14:09] Yeah.

[14:10] I did the thing that I do a lot.

[14:12] And when I was watching, uh, not to be too much of a spoiler, but there is a romantic, uh, relationship between Guy Pearce and Kate Winslet.

[14:19] So I was like, hmm, how old are they really?

[14:23] And, uh, obviously Guy Pearce is a little bit older.

[14:26] Uh, but, and he also plays his age in this show, which is kind of interesting.

[14:30] Uh, but the weird thing is both of them.

[14:33] As opposed to Prometheus where he played a man who was 70 years older than him.

[14:37] That's a, a, a beautiful swing.

[14:40] And some might say it's a miss.

[14:42] I would not.

[14:42] I think there was a swing and a hit.

[14:44] It was the best choice of that movie to make that the majority of screen time, uh, the guy Pierce had in Prometheus, he was caked in old age makeup.

[14:53] Caked in, in what appeared to be layers of Elmer's glue that had dried one at a time.

[14:57] And you were saying, so he's playing his age.

[15:00] But what I, but the interesting thing is both he and Kate Winslet have the exact same birthday.

[15:06] Isn't that fun?

[15:07] Isn't that a fun fact?

[15:08] You know, that every day when they walked on set, they went birthday pals.

[15:11] They play each other and they go birthday twin.

[15:13] How are you doing?

[15:13] I'm good.

[15:14] Birthday twin.

[15:14] I want to jump way back only for fear of being, uh, misunderstood and having, uh, angry, uh, Kings, Queens, gambit heads coming at me.

[15:25] I don't, uh, they call themselves now they call themselves gambos, which is bad because Michael Gambon's fans also call themselves gambos.

[15:32] So it's, it's hard.

[15:34] I just want to make clear that like, I actually really enjoy sort of the melodrama of it all.

[15:38] I, my problem was more that I felt like it took some silly, like shortcuts in the storytelling.

[15:45] Uh, but, but I like how, like it's a handsomely mounted, uh, you know, melodrama that we, which is a thing we don't get enough of.

[15:53] That's true.

[15:54] Uh, I think so.

[15:55] Dan's safe.

[15:55] He's on base.

[15:56] You cannot be mad at him.

[16:00] Yeah.

[16:00] So that's going to wrap up our Emmy segment.

[16:02] We have one more segment or well, not one more.

[16:04] We have a couple more.

[16:05] The next segment of course, is called, Oh, what are we watching?

[16:08] This is the segment where we talk about shows that we're watching.

[16:11] Uh, lately I'll go first.

[16:13] Uh, I mentioned what we do in the shadows new season is great.

[16:16] I love that show.

[16:17] Can't get enough.

[16:17] Give me more vamps.

[16:19] Uh, I also, uh, I talked to Elliot about this, but when I work out, I got to have something on the background.

[16:25] I got to watch something when I work out lately, I've been watching those Peaky bees, you know, the Peaky blinders, uh,

[16:31] starring Killian Murphy, beautiful short King.

[16:34] I love that guy.

[16:35] Uh, I don't know if I buy him as like a scary mobster guy, but whatever.

[16:38] He's cool.

[16:38] Why?

[16:39] And he's gorgeous.

[16:39] He's a scarecrow, Stuart.

[16:40] How could you not come on?

[16:42] What's not scary about him?

[16:44] I have trouble buying him as like a war hero.

[16:46] Tough guy when he's like, he's like five, seven and a gorgeous angel of a man with a beautiful voice.

[16:54] Uh, like, I feel like he'd be walking around the streets of Birmingham and people would be like, who is this?

[16:58] Who's this beautiful ghost?

[17:00] Um, uh, and, but, and, but I love those haircuts.

[17:04] I love that.

[17:04] It's a lot of slow motion guys walking around in three piece suits.

[17:07] Like, oh man, can't get enough of that shit.

[17:09] And, uh, have you ever, and they have this, uh, house band.

[17:12] That's really great.

[17:13] Uh, Nick cave in the bad seeds.

[17:15] He does the, he does the theme song.

[17:17] Dan, you know what I'm talking about?

[17:18] You're a Peaky bee head, right?

[17:22] Guess not.

[17:22] Uh, and then of course I've been watching, uh, the fans call themselves Peaky beekeepers.

[17:28] It, that would make sense.

[17:30] Uh, it's all about, uh, headgear.

[17:32] Uh, and the other thing I've been watching, of course, I'm almost done with Mike Flanagan's, uh, midnight mass.

[17:39] Uh, another Mike Flanagan horror series.

[17:42] Uh, spoiler there's vampires in it.

[17:45] Uh, I like it a lot, but it's like a lot of Mike Flanagan stuff where it's like, this would be great if it had about 50% monologues.

[17:55] I don't know if you, did you guys watch Hill House or a Blythe Manor?

[17:58] I started watching Hill House and I w and I, um, I, I just didn't quite get into it.

[18:03] It just wasn't, it was a little, it was a little, um, too super serious for me, I think.

[18:09] Yeah.

[18:09] I feel like every time there's action, it gets interrupted with like two characters telling some long monologue about some shit.

[18:17] And it's like, I get it.

[18:18] I understand that it's just, it feels a little self-serious and it, it's like it, it, to me, it hurts the pacing.

[18:26] Uh, but whatever.

[18:27] And also like, I feel like it's padding.

[18:30] Paddington?

[18:31] Uh, it's Paddington.

[18:33] Midnight Mass is probably the main thing that I have watched lately.

[18:38] And, uh, I don't know.

[18:40] I didn't have the same problem.

[18:42] I mean, I, I, I will say that I see that it is there.

[18:46] I see that the show is almost entirely made up of people monologuing to one another.

[18:52] Yes.

[18:53] Uh, but it's not a thing that bothers me because I think that by and large, they're interesting, well-written, well-performed monologues.

[19:03] And so I just sort of accept it as a style, especially because it's about, you know, like, like, uh, religion.

[19:11] So it just feels like people trading sermons of different kinds.

[19:15] Well, yeah.

[19:15] And it like the theme of, of like, uh, of personal faith and that sort of thing.

[19:20] I think, I think that's, that all that stuff's all cool.

[19:22] I just wish it, it moved it a little better clip in regards to that stuff.

[19:26] Like I love all the, I haven't seen it.

[19:29] I haven't seen it.

[19:29] I know Dan loves monologues though.

[19:30] Usually with late night shows, he watches the first 10 minutes and then just turns it off.

[19:33] Then yeah, same thing with Marin.

[19:35] Um, the, uh, and, and the other thing with, uh, the other thing with Midnight Mass, of course, I love that we got, uh, we got mega hunk Rahul Kohli in it.

[19:46] And this time he's doing an American accent and he's doing a pretty good job.

[19:50] Uh, okay.

[19:51] Uh, Elliot, what have you been watching lately?

[19:53] Uh, I haven't been watching a lot.

[19:54] I mean, the problem is I work in television, but I like to watch movies kind of more than television.

[19:59] So if.

[20:00] Have a chance, I'm gonna watch a movie more often.

[20:03] But let's see, like I mentioned earlier,

[20:05] we've been watching Pose.

[20:07] We just started the second season.

[20:08] That's a show I like the first season of a lot.

[20:10] It's a very Ryan Murphy show in that it is,

[20:13] everything about it is on the nose.

[20:14] There's nothing subtle about it whatsoever.

[20:16] And anytime you're like, oh, that's an interesting metaphor,

[20:18] a character just comes out and says it right afterwards.

[20:22] But I'm still-

[20:23] Have you seen any of Impeachment?

[20:25] No, I haven't yet.

[20:27] I'm curious about it, but I haven't seen it yet.

[20:28] It's every opportunity to put makeup effects

[20:30] on a character, they take it.

[20:33] And it's wild that they managed to make Clive Owen

[20:36] have less charisma than Bill Clinton.

[20:38] Which, I mean, Bill Clinton has a lot of charisma,

[20:40] but Clive Owen, you know, under a giant nose and whatnot,

[20:44] just can't keep up.

[20:46] Yeah.

[20:47] And the, I'm trying to think what I started,

[20:51] I watched the first half of the first episode

[20:53] of Squid Game, but-

[20:56] Sweeping the nation.

[20:57] It's Sweeping the Nation.

[20:58] And I will say that one of the, it has so far,

[21:02] one of the things that I like about Korean movies,

[21:04] I've watched a lot of Korean movies.

[21:05] And so one of the things I like about it is that

[21:07] the characters will just suddenly yell at each other

[21:09] and you don't expect it.

[21:10] Like characters in Korean movies are always on the verge

[21:13] of just hollering at each other out of nowhere.

[21:16] But, and I really liked that.

[21:18] And I mentioned this to some coworkers of mine

[21:22] who are of Korean descent and they were like, yeah,

[21:25] that's how it is.

[21:27] The, but yeah, I haven't, I haven't seen too much.

[21:30] I feel like I'm stuck in this cycle where

[21:33] the writer's room that I'm working in right now,

[21:35] everyone seems to watch the hit show,

[21:37] the hot shows right away.

[21:39] And I haven't seen them yet.

[21:40] And then by the time I watched them,

[21:41] everybody's onto a different show,

[21:43] which seems to be the way television works now

[21:46] is you kind of like gobble it up really fast

[21:49] and then forget about it.

[21:50] Like until WandaVision,

[21:52] I think until you mentioned it was nominated,

[21:54] I kind of forgot that I'd seen that this year, you know.

[21:57] I mean, I feel like a lot of, a lot of media,

[22:00] at least the way I feel a lot of folks consume

[22:03] and myself included consume media.

[22:05] It's with me, it's a lot of like with music.

[22:09] I, every year I'm like, man,

[22:11] I haven't listened to that much music this year.

[22:13] And then I go through my band camp thing

[22:15] and I'm like, holy shit, I bought like a hundred albums.

[22:18] Yeah, we seem to be,

[22:19] we seem to be at a point in the cycle now where

[22:21] even if the media itself is not disposable content wise,

[22:25] it is just, it is used disposably.

[22:28] Like we're kind of like speeding through stuff.

[22:30] But I wonder if that's,

[22:31] if that's probably a side effect of feeling like

[22:33] there's so much out there that we like don't have time

[22:36] to waste sitting on it, you know, I wonder.

[22:39] Or just the feeling like, you know,

[22:41] I just have too many hours in the day,

[22:42] too much time to exist on this planet that unlike the,

[22:47] some people are concerned that the time is passing

[22:49] too quickly and you're, we're getting old so quickly.

[22:52] I don't think that's the case.

[22:53] I think we all have plenty of time to just chill out

[22:55] and watch a bunch of shit.

[22:57] So.

[22:58] Nope, I mean, I can't tell how sarcastic you're being.

[23:00] It feels semi-sarcastic, but it's definitely not true for me.

[23:03] You know, with that in mind.

[23:04] I mean, I didn't get to have lunch today

[23:06] because I was too busy.

[23:07] So that's where my TV watching is at, you know.

[23:10] Well, you gotta switch to,

[23:12] you gotta switch to doing like protein shakes,

[23:14] maybe a salad.

[23:15] You gotta do something.

[23:16] You gotta bulk up, I think.

[23:17] Well, the problem is that I have duck confit every day

[23:18] and I gotta get it done right.

[23:21] So if I don't have the time to make it work,

[23:23] I'm just not gonna do it, you know,

[23:24] but that's, cause that's my lunch of choice.

[23:26] It's delicious, you know.

[23:27] Oh no.

[23:28] Yeah, I mean, you like what you like.

[23:29] So, interestingly enough,

[23:32] The Flophouse, including this episode,

[25:31] And the weirdest, grossest stuff

[25:33] you can find on wikipedia.org.

[25:53] A man goes to the doctor and says that he's depressed

[25:56] and that life seems cruel.

[25:58] The doctor says, ah, the treatment is simple.

[26:01] The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight.

[26:04] Go and see him and you will surely feel better.

[26:07] The man bursts into tears and says,

[26:10] but doctor, I am Pagliacci.

[26:14] Ah, okay, says the doctor.

[26:17] In which case, try listening

[26:29] or wherever you get your podcasts.

[26:35] Yeah, so we got two more segments

[26:38] and we'll try and make these a little bit quick

[26:39] because I know you guys were really into the,

[26:42] what are you watching segment.

[26:44] So tonight we're gonna do a little segment

[26:46] I like to call Bingeable or Cringeable.

[26:50] Uh-huh, I love it.

[26:52] I was hoping it was gonna rhyme.

[26:53] You didn't let me down.

[26:54] Yeah, it would be disappointing

[26:55] if the title was Bingeable or Not Bingeable.

[26:58] That would have been disappointing.

[27:01] Bingeable or Fungible, almost rhymes.

[27:05] Or Spingeable, I'm sorry, I couldn't come up with a word.

[27:11] So in this segment, I'm going to list the name

[27:14] of a popular television program

[27:17] and you are going to have to tell me

[27:19] whether you consider it to be Bingeable or Cringeable.

[27:26] First show, The Great British Baking Show or Bake Off,

[27:31] depending on where you watch it.

[27:33] Bingeable or Cringeable, guys?

[27:36] To me, this is highly bingeable.

[27:38] I love this show.

[27:40] I watched much of it when it first came to Netflix,

[27:43] but I've fallen off because it was very confusing

[27:45] in the early days, which series were which.

[27:48] You were like, what are they doing?

[27:49] I don't understand, too much continuity.

[27:52] Netflix only bought seasons later on.

[27:55] So then I wanted to see the earlier ones,

[27:57] but the early ones were different format, not as good.

[28:01] So I understand why Netflix started where they are

[28:03] and then now they've got new hosts, so I fell off.

[28:05] But good show, bingeable.

[28:09] Yes, totally bingeable.

[28:10] It's like, I feel the same way about it

[28:11] that I do about like HGTV shows,

[28:13] where I'm like, put it on, let it keep running,

[28:17] do something else while it's up there,

[28:18] check in every now and then.

[28:20] Oh, that's charming.

[28:20] Well, off we go.

[28:22] Ooh, that marzipan didn't work out.

[28:24] Okay, well, I'll check back in a few minutes.

[28:25] That cookie's got to break.

[28:27] Yeah, that's what Christopher Walken yells

[28:29] with his psychic powers.

[28:30] The cookie's got to break.

[28:32] The cookie's got to break.

[28:34] The cookie is going to break.

[28:39] It's a Dead Zone reference for everyone at home, Dead Zone.

[28:41] Also, the Great British Baking Zone,

[28:44] is what I guess we would call it, yeah.

[28:46] I think they made a TV show out of that too, right?

[28:48] They did, I think it was Anthony Michael Hall

[28:49] who was playing Christopher Walken.

[28:50] Oh, wow, cool.

[28:52] Similar styles.

[28:54] He played sports columnist D-Zone.

[29:00] The D-Zones are dead.

[29:01] Oh, okay.

[29:02] That guy just can't get away from weird science.

[29:06] You know what I mean?

[29:08] I mean, he can, he's done lots of other things.

[29:10] I do know what you mean.

[29:11] He just runs into other science that's weird.

[29:13] Weird science experiments, yeah.

[29:15] Okay, so the next show, guys, next television program,

[29:17] this one's on hot out of the ovens over at HBO Max.

[29:22] That's right, F-Boy Island.

[29:24] The F stands for fuck.

[29:28] F-Boy Island, bingeable or cringeable?

[29:31] Dan McCoy, what do you think?

[29:33] I'm sure I could find it in my heart to binge it,

[29:38] but it's not typically my kind of reality show.

[29:43] We got a cringeable from Dan.

[29:45] Elliott.

[29:46] I'm torn because I don't,

[29:48] yeah, it's not my kind of show,

[29:49] but I'm friends of the friends of the host,

[29:52] so like, you know.

[29:54] Yeah, that's true, Sarah and Nikki.

[29:56] Yeah, I mean, her old co-host.

[30:00] Uh, Sarah Schaefer is a friend of mine and also neighbor of mine.

[30:03] Uh, but I mean, it's not like Sarah's hosting the show.

[30:06] So, you know what, I'm going to say it's dirigible.

[30:09] It's floating above me.

[30:10] I just can't reach it.

[30:11] Don't know how to get to it.

[30:12] Okay.

[30:12] Next program.

[30:13] We got another one of these reality shows.

[30:15] Wipeout.

[30:18] Wipeout.

[30:20] What is that?

[30:20] What happens?

[30:21] Is that where they, is that the one where they knock people into pools?

[30:24] Yes.

[30:25] Like just solely pools or do they knock people into other things?

[30:28] Well, they knock them from a great height.

[30:30] Yeah.

[30:31] Well, not that great a height.

[30:33] It's not that great.

[30:34] Let's not give it too much credit.

[30:37] Like, is it just not being knocked into pools?

[30:40] No, they gotta like, they do a thing.

[30:42] And if they don't do it, they fall in a pool or I haven't seen it.

[30:45] Uh, do they get like knocked into like one of those grocery store arrangements

[30:49] of cans instead of a pool, maybe?

[30:52] Uh, it doesn't sound like you guys can come to a consensus as to whether

[30:56] or not it's bingeable or cringeable.

[30:57] So we're just going to move on.

[30:58] Yeah.

[30:59] Frasier.

[31:01] Frasier.

[31:02] Now you're talking about Frasier, bingeable or cringeable.

[31:06] Rediscovered by today's youth.

[31:08] The story of an old podcaster, his weird brother and his cool dad.

[31:14] I feel like every six years, a new generation discovers Frasier for some reason.

[31:19] There was, I think, I don't remember, I don't think I've told this story before,

[31:22] but I was working on a show, the last show I worked on before I moved to LA was this

[31:25] kid's show on Netflix called Who Was Show.

[31:27] And the writer's assistant on that show was a man in his mid twenties and he had

[31:31] just discovered Frasier and he would watch it and then come in the next day wanting

[31:35] to talk about the episode he watched.

[31:36] And I'd be like, sorry, dude, I watched it 15 years ago.

[31:39] I don't remember.

[31:41] There's, there's a, uh, there's like a Twitter account that just posts

[31:44] screenshots of Frasier staring outside of his apartment window and replacing

[31:49] the backdrop with, uh, scenes from video games.

[31:53] It's very entertaining.

[31:55] Uh, I mean, I remember liking it at the time very much.

[31:59] I mean, I'm sure like any, uh, old sitcom, there are parts of it that have

[32:03] not, uh, whether the, the age as well, but I'm sure it's bingeable.

[32:07] I'm worried that too much Frasier talk on this podcast is going to infringe on

[32:12] the McElroy's, uh, copyright on discussing Frasier on the next podcast.

[32:17] Is that a, yeah.

[32:19] Okay.

[32:20] I guess, uh, we'll look, everybody just hit stop on this podcast and drag it.

[32:24] Drop it in the garbage.

[32:25] Yeah.

[32:26] Just throw it in the, in the Frasier Frasier.

[32:27] Can I say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say bingeable well-written show.

[32:30] David Hyde Pierce is amazing.

[32:32] I saw him in the Broadway show curtains and he was delightful.

[32:34] So yeah, I'm going to go with that.

[32:36] So it's not a flop.

[32:36] I said, John Mahoney, some bullshit on the late John Mahoney.

[32:40] I also saw in a show at the paper mill playhouse in New Jersey.

[32:43] He was also great.

[32:44] So that's, and you know what?

[32:45] I saw Jane leaves in a show of Monty Python material at the, it

[32:49] was the town hall theater in New York.

[32:50] So I've seen most of the cast of that show.

[32:53] They'll binge it.

[32:53] You got to catch them all though, Elliot.

[32:55] Yeah, I know.

[32:55] I haven't seen Kelsey.

[32:56] I haven't seen the Kels.

[32:57] Yeah.

[32:57] You haven't gone to one of his upstate New York, uh, grocery store appearances

[33:02] where he sells his freedom beer or whatever the fuck he's doing right now.

[33:06] Yeah.

[33:06] I kind of wish I'd caught him earlier in his political career.

[33:10] The book of Kels is not one that I really want to read right now.

[33:12] Yeah.

[33:13] Uh, okay.

[33:14] So one more, we got some bad grammar.

[33:16] Let me tell you, but still separate the art from the artist.

[33:20] Go ahead.

[33:21] Go ahead.

[33:21] Why?

[33:23] Sorry.

[33:23] I'm just reeling the book of Kels that almost, he almost

[33:28] flew that one under the radar.

[33:30] But I'd say that was just, it was just for the Celtic fans being on it.

[33:34] Uh, last program, bingeable or cringeable Columbo.

[33:40] Oh, oh, very bingeable.

[33:42] We, we, we've been watching some of it actually in lockdown.

[33:46] It's super bingeable, but I have to say, and this is going to sound like I'm

[33:49] biting the hand that feeds it because people send me a lot of Columbo

[33:51] material on Twitter and I, and I'm very happy about it, but I feel like at this

[33:55] point, Columbo is reaching that level where it's so beloved that I start

[34:02] feeling a knee-jerk reaction to not like it anymore, which is all inside of me,

[34:06] which is bad because it is a great show.

[34:08] And I love Peter Falk in it, obviously.

[34:09] And all the guest stars, it's a snapshot of Hollywood at the time.

[34:12] But, uh, I guess I'm looking for this.

[34:15] What's the, what's the, I'm the kind of guy who's like, what's the Columbo

[34:17] type show that only night I know about and nobody else is telling me about it.

[34:20] That's the kind of jerk I am.

[34:21] Kolchak, the Night Stalker.

[34:23] No, I don't want to watch Kolchak.

[34:24] It's never as good as I want it to be.

[34:27] No, it's too scary.

[34:28] I can't sleep at night when I watch Kolchak.

[34:30] Yeah.

[34:31] Oh, Darren McGavin, look out for that mummy.

[34:33] No, I'm just, I have my, I have my blanket over my head because I don't

[34:37] want Darren McGavin to come into my room at night and scare me.

[34:41] So that was bingeable or cringeable.

[34:43] Let's move on to the final segment of the night.

[34:45] We are doing, uh, we are doing dinner and a show brought to you by Hulu.

[34:51] So, uh, no, but it's not really brought, not technically, but I mean, I mean, we

[34:56] have a sponsor Squarespace, but please patronize them.

[34:58] They're paying us.

[34:59] Hulu is not paying us, you know?

[35:00] Uh, so, uh, what I'm going to do is I'm going to try that new Hulu hoop.

[35:05] It's a, it's a, it's a toy for kids that has like one show you're really into.

[35:09] And then that show drops off the service and you're about to cancel it.

[35:12] And then another show you like comes on.

[35:14] Wow.

[35:14] Interesting.

[35:15] So I'm going to list the name of a, uh, of a Hulu original program.

[35:19] And you're going to tell me, uh, when you're settling in for the

[35:23] night to watch this program and what meal you would either order or

[35:29] make to go along with that show.

[35:32] Okay.

[35:33] Okay.

[35:34] Yeah, I know.

[35:35] Uh, I know Elliot, uh, Elliot is quite a gourmand and Dan, uh, loves

[35:39] to make some bread and whatnot.

[35:41] So hopefully we'll get some exciting answers here.

[35:43] I've had Dan's whatnot.

[35:45] Delicious.

[35:45] Yeah.

[35:46] Uh, okay.

[35:47] So the first program is dead beat.

[35:52] You don't remember it.

[35:53] There were three seasons, 36 episodes, something with beats, something

[35:59] with beats in it, like a beet salad.

[36:01] Maybe it's a super American supernatural comedy series.

[36:06] Oh, I remember that one.

[36:07] That's the one.

[36:07] Is that the one where they had the ads all over New York where there's kind

[36:10] of like a sad guy with a beard holding a balloon that looked like a ghost?

[36:14] Yes.

[36:14] I think that's correct.

[36:15] Okay.

[36:15] Yeah.

[36:16] I never saw the show, but I remember the ads for it.

[36:18] Yeah.

[36:18] Something with beats.

[36:19] Oh, okay.

[36:20] Cause also the beet juice looks like blood.

[36:22] So it's horrory.

[36:23] Uh, you got anything to add here, Dan?

[36:25] Uh, just make sure those beats are dead before you eat them.

[36:29] Oh yeah.

[36:30] You don't want them grabbing onto the inside of your throat as they go down,

[36:32] trying to, trying to kill you before you can kill them.

[36:34] Sure.

[36:35] That was, uh, that was an outtake from the movie old boy, where they went to

[36:38] a restaurant that serves live beats.

[36:41] So, uh, the next, next, uh, next one is devs.

[36:47] Oh, that's the show where I refuse to watch it.

[36:49] Cause I couldn't figure out what it was about ahead of time.

[36:51] It's about developers.

[36:52] I assume Nick Offerman, right?

[36:56] Uh, written and created, written and directed by Alex Garland.

[37:00] Hmm.

[37:01] Science fiction thriller.

[37:02] Nick Offerman is in it.

[37:04] Yeah, right.

[37:06] The Alex Garland thing.

[37:07] That was back when I was going through a phase when I wanted to know

[37:10] a little bit about the show before I started watching them and I couldn't

[37:12] find anything about what was, what devs was about.

[37:15] Uh, so I would probably, I'd probably have served fried chicken.

[37:17] Yeah, it's the best.

[37:19] And, uh, I guess if it's an Alex Garland show, I would serve like a single grape

[37:26] inside a, an ice cube, because it would be sort of cold and austere and mysterious.

[37:34] Yeah.

[37:36] Little, little high concept.

[37:37] I like this.

[37:38] I'm still going to go with fried chicken.

[37:39] Yeah.

[37:40] Uh, we're, we're moving, we're moving a little bit closer to more modern.

[37:43] So maybe you guys have a better chance of having seen these old, these old, old

[37:47] shows like devs, which is what, three years old.

[37:49] Come on, forget about it.

[37:50] Uh huh.

[37:51] Uh, so we are, how about the Hulu original doll face?

[37:58] Doll face.

[37:59] Now, does this have anything to do with doll man versus demonic toys?

[38:04] It, unfortunately, it's not.

[38:05] Just the face of doll man.

[38:07] Yeah.

[38:07] I think I haven't seen it.

[38:08] I'm going to go fried chicken.

[38:10] I think.

[38:10] Yeah.

[38:11] And then I was going to say fried chicken for this one.

[38:12] Yeah.

[38:12] A surprise, but you know, I'm going to have some soup.

[38:16] Okay.

[38:17] Uh, what kind of soup, Dan?

[38:18] What's your, you're, you're a maker of soups.

[38:20] What's, what's, uh, what's a go-to soup for Dan McCoy?

[38:23] You know, what's good.

[38:24] You get a Tuscan bean soup.

[38:26] You put some sausage in there, some white beans, some kale, maybe throw a hunk of

[38:30] parmesan and what just throw it right in there.

[38:34] I imagine, I imagine you're, you're sitting down with Audrey and for dinner,

[38:37] you go, Hey, do you want a hunk in your soup?

[38:39] And you hold up the Parmesan, but then you dipped your own hand in.

[38:42] Did you do that for real?

[38:45] Did you do that?

[38:46] And she says, please pour me a new bowl of soup.

[38:48] Your hand was in the soup.

[38:49] There's nothing in the rule book that says I can't.

[38:50] I can't believe you did that.

[38:52] For real?

[38:54] Okay.

[38:55] I'm going to go with the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

[39:00] okay, that's crazy for real.

[39:03] Okay.

[39:03] So, uh, we got one last one.

[39:07] Where this is ripped from the headlines.

[39:08] One last one.

[39:09] Why the last man.

[39:12] Now what headline is that ripped from?

[39:14] The headline of new show on Hulu.

[39:17] The headline of why the last man adapted it.

[39:24] Yeah.

[39:27] Uh, what, who are they going to have at a pro at one point?

[39:29] Deuce Bigelow.

[39:30] What's his name?

[39:31] Rob Schneider.

[39:32] Rob Schneider's supposed to, he was like, I don't believe that was ever the case.

[39:35] What?

[39:35] Some sort of comedy version of this at one point.

[39:38] Really?

[39:39] That'd be a very different story.

[39:41] Uh, maybe he was going to play the monkey.

[39:44] Did you guys, did you guys read the, uh, the comic book?

[39:47] It's based on a comic book.

[39:48] I read the whole comic book.

[39:50] I have not yet seen the show.

[39:51] Okay.

[39:52] I only read the first, uh, trade and did not like it.

[39:57] I like that.

[39:57] You know what?

[39:58] Well, I'm a fucking curmudgeon.

[40:00] when it comes to that shit.

[40:00] That's true, you are a curmudgeon.

[40:02] I think I'm confusing a few things.

[40:05] I think that there was a movie

[40:06] that had basically the same premise

[40:09] that was a comedy version of Rob Schneider.

[40:10] Are you thinking of the hot chick, Dan?

[40:13] Attached to.

[40:14] Are you thinking of Deuce Bigalow, Last Man on Earth?

[40:17] And then, I don't know, I know that there was

[40:20] some weird version of it that it's, you know.

[40:23] I mean, they've been working on it for years,

[40:24] so that makes sense, but it's finally here,

[40:26] and you know what, nothing goes better with dystopia

[40:29] than big plate of fried chicken.

[40:31] Let's go for it.

[40:32] Let's just put it out there.

[40:33] Okay, so Elliot is doing fried chicken.

[40:36] Dan, what are you going to bring to this meal?

[40:39] We're gonna have a Swanson, hungry,

[40:42] why the last man dinner.

[40:44] Oh, okay, what's the feature there?

[40:46] Is it meatloaf, is it a?

[40:48] Fried chicken.

[40:49] Fried chicken, okay.

[40:51] Okay, fried chicken across the board.

[40:53] Okay, guys.

[40:54] It's what I would want if I was the last man, sure.

[40:56] So, I'm glad that segment went,

[40:59] I feel like that was the strongest segment.

[41:00] I'm glad I saved it for the very end.

[41:03] This is, this has been another rousing.

[41:08] If any of the segments weren't strong,

[41:09] it was only contestant error.

[41:10] It was not at all a matter of the operator

[41:13] of the games or the show, yeah.

[41:15] Yeah, I mean, the careful mousetrap

[41:17] that I've created with this episode.

[41:20] So, yeah.

[41:22] Who knew when you asked two professional television writers

[41:26] about what they thought about current shows,

[41:27] they would not know any of them, pretty much.

[41:29] They'd be like, oh, is that TV?

[41:32] What is that?

[41:34] Is Aftermash still on the air?

[41:37] Yeah, yeah.

[41:39] And if you were to ask me, I'd be like,

[41:40] do cut scenes in video games count as shows?

[41:44] Why no Emmys for Mass Effect?

[41:46] What's going on?

[41:47] I mean, that's, I mean, if it's Andromeda, I get it.

[41:51] So, this has been a two boy talking

[41:56] two dudes tonight, that's right,

[41:58] which is a part of the Flophouse podcast.

[42:01] The Flophouse is on the Maximum Fun Network,

[42:04] and I don't know, I think we're still part

[42:06] of the Maximum Fun block party, which is a great time,

[42:10] obviously, to pick up a new show.

[42:11] If you're a new listener, I'm sorry.

[42:13] I don't know why you're still listening.

[42:14] Maybe you are folding laundry and just forgot to hit stop.

[42:18] Um, the, uh.

[42:21] Forgot.

[42:24] There was something I was gonna do relating to sound.

[42:27] Let me check my to-do list.

[42:29] Laundry, I did that.

[42:31] Yeah.

[42:31] Post office.

[42:33] Yeah, somebody's folding laundry.

[42:33] Throw podcast away in anger, that's the thing, I forgot.

[42:36] Yeah, that's what I haven't done yet.

[42:37] Well, that's, and they're like, okay,

[42:39] like, I don't like this show, but it's,

[42:42] they said it's a mini, it's gonna be wrapping up soon.

[42:44] 40 minutes?

[42:46] It's probably no more than 10 minutes long, at the most.

[42:49] At the most, to earn the name mini.

[42:52] Yeah, so we're on the Maximum Fun network.

[42:54] There's a ton of really great shows.

[42:55] If you like this for some reason,

[42:57] there's probably much better shows for you to listen to.

[43:00] Thank you to our producer, Alex.

[43:02] At a certain point, I think we might be doing ourselves

[43:04] a disservice by underselling so much.

[43:06] Oh, I mean, that's, it's this false humility

[43:09] that I like to adopt, you know, normally.

[43:11] Yeah, that's true, that's true.

[43:11] When the.

[43:12] I didn't know you were adopting.

[43:14] When the microphones.

[43:17] Chick-O-Marx, everybody.

[43:21] Yeah, when the microphones are off,

[43:23] I am prone to fits of grandiose hubris,

[43:28] where I run around my apartment in this bathrobe.

[43:31] As soon as the recording is over.

[43:33] Throwing money around.

[43:33] He still just goes, nailed it, nailed it, nailed it,

[43:36] best ever, and he throws a big after party

[43:39] in a warehouse somewhere, like, after a re-taping of SNL.

[43:42] Uh-huh, yep, that's me.

[43:44] Oh, wow.

[43:46] Thank you to Alex Smith for making this episode sound great.

[43:50] And like all the episodes,

[43:52] I've been Stuart Wellington for The Flophouse.

[43:55] I've been Dan McCoy for The Flophouse.

[43:57] I've been Ellie Kalin from The Flophouse.
