FH Mini 36 - Let's Get Quizzical

[0:00] Hey there, everybody. It's me, Stuart, from the Flop House podcast, and I'm joined with

[0:09] my two co-hosts. They're friends of mine. They are cool dudes. I promise. They are definitely

[0:15] cool. That's Elliot, Kayla, and Dan McCoy. How are you guys doing tonight?

[0:19] Are you buttering us up so we won't make fun of how you said you were going to do a great

[0:23] intro and then you laughed in the middle of your first word?

[0:26] I don't know what you're talking about. You guys are definitely cool dudes, and you're

[0:32] here to record a podcast with me, Stuart Wellington, and our podcast is called The Flop House,

[0:37] and this is a mini episode. Now, normally on our show, if you're a new listener, because

[0:43] I got to tell you, I'm sure we have a huge influx of new listeners because this mini

[0:48] is sandwiched right between the episode where we reviewed Space Jam, A New Legacy, and Boss

[0:54] Baby 2, Family Business, so I'm sure this episode is going to get a lot of traction

[1:00] and there's going to be a lot of new listeners, so we got to make sure that this is super

[1:03] easy for new people to just jump right on board. This is what I call an onboarding episode.

[1:07] I appreciate you vouching for us at the beginning and vouching for us with the new listeners

[1:10] that were cool. That was good. I appreciate that.

[1:14] Didn't want them to think you weren't cool dudes. So hey, guys. How are you guys doing?

[1:21] Already great. Okay. So this episode, as I said, I'm sure we have a lot of new listeners,

[1:30] and for everybody out there, we have a pretty big back catalog. I mean, we've been doing

[1:34] this show for like 14 years. I think 14 years this month, which is wild.

[1:39] Happy anniversary. What did you get me?

[1:44] I got you some combs for your hair.

[1:47] Oh, no. I'm losing my hair.

[1:51] Oh, no.

[1:53] How ironic.

[1:55] I'm trying to count. Gift of the bald eye?

[2:00] Gift of the bald eye.

[2:02] Bald eye is what you gave me, not bald guy.

[2:07] That makes way more sense.

[2:09] That's why you're the professional television writer, and he's really the bartender-slash-podcaster.

[2:15] Yeah, I'm just a dumbass. Okay. So as a way, I thought a great way, so normally we review

[2:21] movies on our show, but on these minis, we kind of do whatever we want, and today, boy

[2:27] howdy, we are doing exactly whatever I want. I'm in the driver's seat, and what I thought

[2:31] we would do is we would give people a little bit of an introduction to who each of us are,

[2:38] right? Instead of having to listen to 14 years' worth of podcasts so you can learn what kind

[2:44] of freakazoids are on this podcast.

[2:47] And I'm not even in some of them.

[2:48] And you're not even, and I'm not even in some of them. Dan is the only constant factor.

[2:53] He's the true constant.

[2:54] That's why everyone's tired of me.

[2:58] Because you've been in slightly more episodes than us?

[3:01] Yeah.

[3:02] So, what I thought I'd do is I prepared a list of questions to ask you guys, and I'll

[3:07] answer them too, so we'll share some information. We don't have to get too personal. You know,

[3:14] you don't have to admit to any crimes.

[3:15] No, let's let it all hang out.

[3:16] Unless they're minor crimes.

[3:17] Let's bear it all. You know, we should probably answer the questions naked too. Hold on a

[3:18] second.

[3:19] Okay, let me just get all right.

[3:20] Oh, that's what it looks like.

[3:21] And there we go. Okay. I noticed you guys didn't follow my lead, but.

[3:22] He's keeping his hat on. I wasn't expecting that.

[3:23] Well, he can legally.

[3:24] Yeah. Okay.

[3:25] The ruling.

[3:26] In what, sex court?

[3:27] In Tom Jones' court.

[3:36] Yeah. Okay.

[3:37] The ruling.

[3:38] In what, sex court?

[3:40] Oh, I see.

[3:41] So, I'm going to ask these questions. If you are uncomfortable answering them, you can

[3:42] always pass. Although, if you pass, I'm going to ask Alex, our producer, to put in some

[3:43] kind of embarrassing sound effect. Okay.

[3:44] Now, do we pass to someone or we just pass?

[3:45] No, you just say pass.

[3:46] Okay. I gotcha.

[4:00] Now, do we pass to someone or we just pass?

[4:03] No, you just say pass.

[4:06] This isn't a game. I know that Dan normally fills in the heavy sports enthusiast section

[4:12] of the podcast.

[4:13] I love competition.

[4:14] When he heard pass, he thought it was going to be a perfect spiral football pass.

[4:19] Yeah, yeah.

[4:20] Okay. So, first question.

[4:21] His instinct was to just yell, I'm open, I'm open and start running backwards.

[4:26] So, first question, guys.

[4:28] This is going to go to Elliot.

[4:30] What embarrasses you the most and or, so you have an option here.

[4:35] Oh, good for you. Thank you.

[4:37] What's been your most embarrassing moment?

[4:41] Well, I'll say what's, I think most, like many nerds,

[4:46] I think most of my embarrassing moments exist in my head more than in reality.

[4:50] There are moments that I remember as embarrassing things that I feel stupid about,

[4:54] but really every other human on the face of the earth did not notice them.

[4:58] So, instead I'll say based on the dreams I have,

[5:01] the thing that probably embarrasses me the most is the idea that someone might see me going to the bathroom.

[5:06] I have a fair number of dreams where I need to use the bathroom,

[5:09] but I cannot find a place to go where there's not like an open window or a crowd.

[5:13] It's just like that Terry Jones, Monty Python segment where he needs to change into his bathing suit,

[5:18] but he can't find a private place.

[5:20] I have a lot of dreams like that.

[5:21] And that's why my new horror movie, A Private Place, is about a dystopian future

[5:25] where evil aliens that can see people pee are all over the place,

[5:29] and everyone to survive has to find private places to pee, and it's very difficult.

[5:33] I think that's good.

[5:35] Did you throw a TM in there so nobody steals your idea or is it already sold?

[5:39] A little R in a circle. Does that help?

[5:42] Okay.

[5:43] And so how many points do I get for that answer?

[5:45] Once again, there's no points.

[5:48] We're just chilling out being cool dudes.

[5:51] Dan, do you have something that particularly embarrasses you?

[5:55] Oh, it's the same question.

[5:57] Yes. I'll answer the same question just so you guys know me.

[6:02] I think probably my most embarrassing moment,

[6:04] the thing that keeps me up at night at like 3 in the morning when I'm lying in bed

[6:09] and staring into the dark corners of the room,

[6:11] I think about the time in middle school when I think I did a truncated version

[6:18] of the Wayne's World foxy lady bit to my friend and his girlfriend

[6:23] because I thought it would be funny because they would all get the reference.

[6:26] And I immediately regretted it, and I would think about it way too much,

[6:32] and that will probably be my dying thought

[6:36] as I am shoveled into the futuristic garbage dump that they throw dead old stewards.

[6:45] It's amazing. Yeah, yeah. Every house is going to have one of those.

[6:48] It's amazing how something that – I mean your description of it to me, I'm like,

[6:51] oh, okay. That's nothing.

[6:53] But it's like probably the moment that haunts me the most from my youth is when I was probably about 6,

[6:58] and I went up behind someone I thought was a friend of mine and kind of grabbed him and went,

[7:03] and the kid turned around, and it was someone I had never met before and shoved me to the ground.

[7:07] You deserved it.

[7:10] I guess because I thought it was a friend of mine,

[7:12] and I immediately slunk back to wherever my family was.

[7:16] It was like at a 4th of July celebration or something,

[7:18] and just like Bernstein and Susan Cain, probably a month doesn't go by that I don't think about that and cringe,

[7:25] even though certainly the other kid does not remember it.

[7:29] He might be dead now for all I know.

[7:31] Sure.

[7:32] So why bother?

[7:33] Yeah, he pushed the wrong person to the ground.

[7:35] Dan, do you have something that particularly embarrasses you or would you like to pass?

[7:39] Well, I mean this will sound a bit like a dodge when I preface this by saying like I don't really feel a lot of shame.

[7:50] I mean it's a bad – probably a bad thing.

[7:54] I don't have a lot of the shame in me certainly as an adult human.

[8:00] So I will have to go back.

[8:01] I mean now you look.

[8:03] Regrets?

[8:04] I have a few, but embarrassment not so much.

[8:09] So I'll have to go back to when I was a kid to find something that I was truly embarrassed by,

[8:16] which is probably when in grade school when I was arguably too old to be having these difficulties,

[8:24] I pooped in my pants at school.

[8:27] Now when you say grade school, you mean ninth or tenth grade?

[8:31] Yeah.

[8:32] Any grade could be a grade school.

[8:36] Yeah, yeah.

[8:37] College?

[8:38] I mean technically.

[8:39] Yeah.

[8:40] Just for my own reference because I'm writing all this down.

[8:45] Dan, was that the last time you pooped in your pants?

[8:50] No, no.

[8:51] In college I had the flu and I woke up and I had – it was not – the flu is not a code for I drank too much.

[9:03] I had that flu a couple of times.

[9:05] Yeah.

[9:06] No, no, no.

[9:07] I was sick and it happened again and that was distressing, but yeah.

[9:15] At least you saved the underwear, right?

[9:18] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[9:19] Yeah, yeah.

[9:20] Framed it.

[9:21] Did it feel at all like it was – actually like there was some closure there, like you had bookended that section of your life?

[9:26] I don't see how that works, but yeah.

[9:30] I mean if it was a movie, it would be a –

[9:32] I hope I bookended it, but we're all getting older.

[9:35] Let's be frank with ourselves.

[9:37] We're going to poop in our pants again at some point.

[9:39] Eventually, yeah, but I imagine – yeah, if it was a movie, you would have woken up sick,

[9:43] but you'd look in your pants and see poop there and then Circle Game would start playing on the soundtrack

[9:47] and it would pull back until you see the whole earth and then the earth would wake and then it would fade to black.

[9:53] Yeah, there's – what's that old saying, that old riddle, what poops in its pants on TV?

[10:00] You know, then poops in his pants, I guess, while sick and then poops in his pants.

[10:05] Well, yeah, what what poops, what poops in his pants in the morning,

[10:09] what poops when it's sick in the afternoon and then what poops in his pants again

[10:12] in the evening. And that was the riddle of the stinks.

[10:19] Yeah, OK, the next question, guys, I'm not going to do all of them because I have a lot.

[10:27] What would be your perfect day?

[10:29] Plan it out.

[10:33] Dan, I'm going to I'm going to snake draft this.

[10:35] This one's going to you, buddy.

[10:36] What's your perfect day? Just a perfect day.

[10:40] Yep. Give me one day.

[10:42] Drink, drink sangria in the park.

[10:44] Hell yeah, baby.

[10:48] Well, I mean.

[10:51] I look, I actually like, you know, getting something done.

[10:56] I feel like I feel like to have like a like a truly like satisfying day,

[11:01] you have to feel like you've done something of like constructive.

[11:07] But but it can't be something that like, like feels like work.

[11:12] So I think, you know, I would like to get up,

[11:17] have a nice leisurely sort of breakfast.

[11:23] Maybe now when you say leisurely, is that that's like forty five minutes.

[11:26] That's like two hours.

[11:28] I just not rushing to get anywhere.

[11:32] Two hours is, you know, sitting down, sipping some coffee, having breakfast.

[11:37] You know, Audrey and I go for a walk, get some errands done.

[11:43] That's the that's the accomplishment part of the day.

[11:46] This is truly an older person's perfect day.

[11:50] And then, you know,

[11:53] go to the park, watch a movie, let's go out to dinner with friends,

[11:59] have a bottle of wine, you know,

[12:02] get to get to bed at a sensible hour to continue your old person's perfect day.

[12:07] You're not bothering to be ambitious.

[12:09] No, no, no, no, no.

[12:10] Because this sounds like a regular weekend.

[12:12] Sounds like a regular day.

[12:13] LA's perfect day involves winning a prize.

[12:17] I have achieved perfection in my life

[12:19] in a certain way, from a certain point of view.

[12:23] I don't I don't know.

[12:25] No, that's I mean, that sounds like a great day.

[12:27] Yeah.

[12:28] LA, what's your perfect day?

[12:30] I mean, I I've had a perfect day.

[12:32] So listeners, the podcast may remember my stories of my wedding day.

[12:36] So my birthday was August twenty ninth, twenty ten.

[12:39] When I got up, went to see Piranha 3D with you two guys and a couple of my other

[12:44] closest friends, my brother got me Popeye's for lunch.

[12:47] Then I got married to the love of my life.

[12:50] And during the wedding, I found out that you're going to get a lot of you're going

[12:53] to get a lot of points when your wife doesn't listen to this episode.

[12:56] Yeah. And she she doesn't listen.

[12:59] And the and then during the ceremony and

[13:02] during the reception, I got a text that the Daily Show won won an Emmy for Best

[13:07] Show, which, again, I was not taking part in that Emmy,

[13:10] but it was a show that I was working on at the time, certainly.

[13:12] And well, I don't have to tell you how the night went.

[13:16] So, yeah, that was so that was a perfect day.

[13:19] Legally, you don't.

[13:20] Yeah.

[13:22] Yep. I said up top, you don't have to admit to crimes.

[13:26] Yeah, I mean, my my like like Dan, I feel

[13:30] like my concept of a perfect day has shifted a little bit.

[13:34] I feel like for me it would be wake up early, you know, stretch, go to the gym,

[13:39] then have my leisurely breakfast.

[13:41] And I'm talking two hours like, wow, watch, watch my daytime shows,

[13:45] maybe maybe watch an episode of Catfish, you know, something like that.

[13:50] And then, you know, I'd

[13:53] maybe get some model painting in, get some Stuart time, a little bit of,

[13:57] you know, a little bit of recovery, turn my brain off, put on some heavy metal.

[14:01] Then I probably I feel like spending for the evening, go out to a nice dinner,

[14:05] sit at a nice dark bar, get some expensive food brought to me,

[14:10] drink tequila until until I'm too tired.

[14:13] Perfect.

[14:15] Yeah.

[14:16] Three nice days.

[14:18] One of them actually happened.

[14:20] OK, I mean, to be fair, Dan's has happened.

[14:23] Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've done that.

[14:26] I keep every day I wake up hoping that mine is going to happen.

[14:30] And oh, I got to work too much.

[14:32] And you're like you're like, let me just sit down to my leisurely

[14:35] breakfast and then you got to call it like a pipe burst at the bar or something.

[14:39] They found a monster in the basement and you got to go deal with it.

[14:42] Yep. Or like two bartenders aren't getting along and I have to settle something.

[14:47] I'm OK.

[14:49] Pistols at dawn usually.

[14:51] What is your favorite what is the favorite thing you own and why?

[14:55] So if you have to rush into your burning

[14:57] apartment, all living things are accounted for.

[15:01] What is the one thing you grab?

[15:04] Or I guess drive away and if because you

[15:06] can own a car or you can own a house, I guess.

[15:09] Yeah, can I pick up the house and carry the stuff in it?

[15:15] No, you can't. You can't.

[15:17] Your favorite thing can't be a container to stuff other things in.

[15:21] Oh, that's what a loophole that you've just plugged up there.

[15:25] Elliot,

[15:27] yeah, I guess my

[15:30] I have a couple of pieces if my family is safe.

[15:33] Yes, we've already covered that.

[15:34] I have a couple of books that are important to me, but I've got a couple

[15:38] of pieces of original art that I that I would probably try to save

[15:44] your art collection, my art collection.

[15:46] Yeah. You know what? Let's just say our collection.

[15:48] I mean, the crown jewel being my Gertie,

[15:50] the dinosaur drawing that listener Michael Wade arranged for me to to come

[15:54] into possession of after I talked about it years ago on this very podcast.

[15:58] Oh, man, this one's this is tough.

[16:00] I.

[16:03] Yes, similarly to Elliot, like maybe I would choose

[16:07] Audrey gave me a Polish poster for Gremlins.

[16:12] It would be a hard thing to to run out of a burning building with.

[16:16] It's a very large and heavy

[16:19] and covered in glass.

[16:24] I don't know.

[16:25] Large, heavy, covered in glass.

[16:28] Maybe my guitar, it's not like I have.

[16:31] I, too, have like some books that are signed by people who are important to me,

[16:37] but I can't like I there's nothing that I'm that is really springing to mind.

[16:41] Those are the things there.

[16:43] I would say my collection of gold bars, but I'm nervous.

[16:47] I mentioned that people are going to want

[16:49] to break into my apartment and steal that.

[16:50] Yeah.

[16:52] Yeah. I mean, it's a tough one.

[16:54] Like, I feel like at this point it would be

[16:57] I feel like it's like something dumb,

[16:59] like models that I painted because like I can buy them again.

[17:03] But it's not the same as the thing that I spent hours painting.

[17:07] Or it could be my.

[17:09] Yeah, I don't know.

[17:11] Well, I'll tell you what, guys, I'm not totally sure.

[17:13] But since I live in Southern California,

[17:15] it's very possible I will have to face this scenario.

[17:18] So it'll be a game time decision and I'll let you know what happens afterwards.

[17:22] Oh, that's great. I hope it doesn't happen.

[17:23] Well, make sure that you make sure your house is actually on fire

[17:27] because it could be Sherlock Holmes who has put a smoke bomb through the window

[17:32] to find the blackmail material you have on the King of Bohemia.

[17:37] So that's just a little tip for you.

[17:39] You know what? That's thank you very much for making sure I know that.

[17:42] That's that's very helpful, because otherwise I might fall into his brilliant trap.

[17:46] Of course, the thing is, I'll probably pick up something stupid,

[17:49] like a box of the cereal I like and I'll run out like, wait a minute,

[17:52] I just buy more of this.

[17:54] Why'd I do that?

[17:57] Dan Hicks,

[17:59] the contested mother approved.

[18:04] Yeah, well, let's I'm going to do a side question here.

[18:09] Breakfast cereal.

[18:11] Yeah, you have to what what's what's your breakfast cereal choice?

[18:14] If one of you actually says kicks,

[18:16] I'll be impressed and we'll have follow up questions.

[18:20] No, mine is Barber's brand Morning Oat Crunch.

[18:23] It's the closest I can get to what Quaker

[18:25] oat squares or oatmeal squares used to taste like before they put sugar all

[18:30] over them, like like a crime against nature.

[18:33] So that's a boring answer for a boring guy.

[18:36] I'm Ellie Kalin.

[18:37] Dan,

[18:39] I got I like the couple I like.

[18:41] I like corn checks.

[18:43] They kind of taste like unsalted bugles.

[18:47] And, you know, on the sweeter end, I like a honey bunches of oats pretty well.

[18:53] Yeah, I mean, I feel like like I like a lot

[18:56] of the old old people cereals like Grape Nuts and what's that like?

[19:00] Product 19 and Special K.

[19:03] Products one through 18.

[19:05] You don't want to know about.

[19:06] Yeah. Yeah.

[19:07] Don't talk about products one through 18.

[19:09] Right. Deep in it.

[19:10] Deep in a hidden vault in the Pentagon lies a particular product.

[19:14] What is the secret of product 19?

[19:17] Yeah.

[19:19] Growing up, my grandmother told me of the legend of product 20.

[19:26] But I would say, yeah, for sweet, I feel

[19:28] like it's tough to top Fruity Pebbles, man, that thing's a banger.

[19:31] OK, so we've covered our cereal cereal bases.

[19:35] Let's get back to business.

[19:36] Dan, who was the last person who made you cry?

[19:40] Oh, the last person who made me cry.

[19:45] I mean, this one's made me cry.

[19:48] Like, well, this is

[19:50] I mean,

[19:52] probably odd that makes me feel bad to cry.

[19:55] Like I don't like I know I shouldn't like that makes it sound terrible.

[19:59] But like who.

[20:00] Who makes you cry more than someone you care about it's a good point. That's a lesson learned LA. Do you answer that?

[20:11] No, well we recently we visited my family back in Jersey and it was a tearful

[20:16] Goodbye at the end because it was a real nice trip. So I guess my I guess my my parents but not anyway

[20:23] Yeah, that's I don't think the question did not imply good or bad tears can come from any source

[20:30] Any source they can't come out of like wood a picture of it unless it's a picture of the Virgin Mary

[20:39] And obviously you guys know that ever a long time listeners are gonna know this one for me

[20:45] Frodo Baggins, baby when he decides to go to the Grey Havens what the hell?

[20:50] That's rough

[20:52] Okay, so

[20:54] So Frodo counts as a person. Yeah

[20:57] Does he I mean he's played by a person Elijah Wood and his performance of Frodo made me cry. Okay, that's fair

[21:04] Okay, next one Dan if money was no object. What would I buy?

[21:09] What would I buy if money was?

[21:13] No object. I mean

[21:15] real estate

[21:19] Like the dream of home ownership is is, you know every every Americans dream

[21:27] At least if it's not an area that's overcome with fire or Dan I've got a little movie called Nomadland

[21:34] I think you're gonna enjoy. Yeah, cuz they she doesn't want to buy a house

[21:37] I guess unless van a van counts as real estate Dan does a van count as real estate your name rhymes with van

[21:43] So I think you know the answer

[21:45] other I either a house or I would

[21:49] You know if I had unlimited money if money was an object as you say

[21:54] to run my own

[21:57] Independent movie theater where I just did whatever the hell I wanted you're on

[22:03] George R. Martin's plan, right? Yeah

[22:07] That's pretty cool. Okay, Elliot. What's your uh, what's if money was no object? What would you buy?

[22:12] I guess a second Gertie the dinosaur probably a second. Well first the second Gertie the dinosaur drawing then I guess I'd probably buy

[22:21] All the weapons in the world and just throw them into the Sun, but that's just how guys

[22:25] I'm just I'm just all about peace Superman

[22:29] But it's Superman with a dollar sign instead of an s that's the costume that I start wearing

[22:33] Yeah, yeah, and I teach kids about saving I

[22:37] Feel like if money was no object. I would probably

[22:41] Buy myself a a short trip into outer space with my pal Jeff Bezos. I

[22:48] I

[22:50] Mean you guys are such good friends. It's surprising. He didn't just take you along

[22:53] I'm looking surprised too, but like he offered and I'm like, that's great

[22:58] And he's like, yeah great just so Venmo me, you know a couple million dollars and I'm like, oh wait

[23:04] What you just invited me to this thing? Yeah

[23:07] I mean, I'm glad he mentioned it before I went cuz I can't flip that bill

[23:13] Okay, so

[23:16] Next one next question

[23:19] Dan out of all your family members. Who are you closest to?

[23:32] That's a pass Alex they're on a pass sound effect

[23:36] I

[23:39] Had a fear of I know that I know that they listen so I don't want to

[23:44] Feel like I'm it's fair any favoritism. It's it's you can be a coward every once in a while my obviously for me

[23:50] It's my mom Elliot

[23:53] I mean, is it blood relatives or I mean cuz I would say my wife, you know, ooh

[23:59] Elliot found a potential loophole, but that's

[24:02] My family, I mean, it's that's I mean legally legally

[24:10] To call my lawyer friend

[24:13] Okay, so Elliot, I'm gonna be sleep next to each other it doesn't get closer than that, you know

[24:23] I sleep under the blanket

[24:28] You're right Buckminster Fuller there's no up and down in space

[24:32] Oh

[24:34] Elliot, where do you want to travel to most now obviously travels a difficult thing right now once

[24:40] hopefully once this old virus situation is dealt with and

[24:45] And you can travel the way you can be globe-trotting Elliot Kaelin again

[24:50] Where do you want to travel to I've actually been boring my family quite a bit with my plan to take them to

[24:56] This is my dream trip is to take them to the north of Italy and then over the course of like a few weeks

[25:01] Drive down to the south of Italy and stop it at the different cities along the way

[25:05] I think I've never been to Italy. I've always wanted to and

[25:09] Maybe someday it'll happen

[25:11] You know and and also Mars, but you know, but let's just stick to planet Earth

[25:18] Then then I would say Italy but on the other hand, there's place I'd like to go back to

[25:23] I'd really like to go back to Uruguay someday. Oh

[25:26] Yeah, so who knows who knows where I'll end up next I'm kind of a man of adventure and mystery that way

[25:34] So Dan, are you also a man of adventure and mystery, where do you want to go?

[25:39] Not really. I mean mostly I am a man of comfort and

[25:45] Dislike of discomfort

[25:47] I

[25:55] Was raised by

[25:57] Anglophiles, so she's never been you know

[26:02] to either

[26:03] Scotland or Ireland, I think we would enjoy

[26:07] Taking a train through those countries

[26:10] You know stopping off

[26:12] seeing you know wandering the moors, but also I would like I

[26:17] Audrey's family is from the Philippines

[26:21] Obviously, I am NOT not odd, but I've never been

[26:24] It's fairly obvious

[26:26] yeah, I would suspect as a guy from a white guy from the Midwest that I've not been to the Philippines just in the

[26:34] course of my

[26:36] life so far normal ambulations, yeah, so

[26:40] yeah, if I was able to just

[26:42] fantasy go somewhere would be nice to

[26:45] To see that country Scotland's a good option

[26:48] I've been there a couple times and I really would like when my kids were older to take them on the West Highland Way

[26:52] Which I?

[26:54] Hiked a number of years ago. That's a good option. You know what let me add that to my answer and you know what?

[27:00] I'm just gonna throw on there

[27:07] Moo the Lost Continent of Moo

[27:10] It's hard I hear there I hear they're open you don't even have to quarantine to go there. Yeah

[27:16] Yeah, I mean the fact that nobody knows where it is and it probably never existed means that it's

[27:22] Very traveler light. So yeah, I think it'd be it'd be fun. You know, they're not tired out by tourists over there. Yeah the

[27:30] Before before the pandemic

[27:33] Charlene had mentioned that she wanted to take me to New Zealand for my 40th birthday, of course, New Zealand

[27:40] I don't know if you guys know this it was the shooting location for the Lord of the Rings movies

[27:48] It's the Lord of the Rings is did you it's the story of this guy Gandalf and the adventures he gets in with his house

[27:55] It's like it's like a jewelry movie like uncut gems in a lot of ways. It is

[28:01] Stressful it's got same highs and lows. There's a fair amount of gambling Gandalf. I mean take some big risks

[28:06] Yeah, and there's don't spoil anything they pay off

[28:10] There's that part where where a golem finally gets the ring and he says I'm coming so hard right now

[28:15] Yeah, exactly

[28:18] There's a fair amount of there's a fair amount of come talk in in Lord of the Rings it comes in pints for instance

[28:24] okay, so

[28:26] so I like I

[28:29] Obviously, I've been thinking about New Zealand or maybe even Australia, you know, I haven't been to those places. I'd like to give some time

[28:35] okay, if

[28:37] You could only eat one thing for the rest of your life. What would it be Dan?

[28:43] One thing for the rest of your life. It seems like a curse, but could it be a blessing?

[28:50] Now you know wait you mean one many of the same thing not like one potato and then you die of starvation because you can't

[28:57] Yes one dish because I feel like possibly even prepared by different chefs

[29:06] Yeah, this is variations on the same theme you're saying yes, I

[29:12] mean the question like this is where you get into a little the legal ease of questions, right because

[29:19] If you don't necessarily want to go with

[29:21] Your the favorite item, uh-huh your favorite food item

[29:25] Maybe something that would cause you great pain if you ate it every day for the rest of your life

[29:31] Do you know you're gonna talk about that thing where you like have to blindfold yourself and then eat a whole bird. I'm

[29:41] Cuz you keep telling me how that's your favorite murder cult that you belong to I don't

[29:47] Very little you can eat the bones

[29:49] Right, you know, I'm quite fond of like for instance

[29:55] Barbecue brisket, but if I was to eat that

[30:00] All the time, only just that.

[30:02] I feel like I would be very sick indeed.

[30:04] This is, yes, considering this is a hypothetical anyway,

[30:07] are we assuming that the thing we eat is not gonna,

[30:10] like if it's not the healthiest food in the world,

[30:13] that it's not gonna just give us heart disease

[30:15] and things like that?

[30:16] Yes, at this point, we're talking about a thing

[30:17] that you will not tire of eating.

[30:19] But does it have a sort of a magical property

[30:22] where you're also not gonna get like a heart attack

[30:23] if you eat nothing but that one thing?

[30:25] Yeah, I mean, we're all gonna die at some point, guys.

[30:28] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[30:29] Okay, well, if we're living in a magical world,

[30:31] I'll say, give me a nice cassoulet.

[30:35] You get some beans that are flavored

[30:37] with some duck legs and some sausages.

[30:40] I love this.

[30:41] You get a lot of stuff in there.

[30:42] It's very good.

[30:44] That reminds me of a story of my wife's grandfather

[30:46] when he was still alive,

[30:47] and how he once ordered a cassoulet in a restaurant

[30:49] because he was sure they would do it wrong.

[30:51] And he wanted to try it so he could point out

[30:53] to the waitress what they had done wrong with it.

[30:56] What a miserable way to live.

[30:58] It is fun.

[30:59] No, he got a lot of delight out of it,

[31:00] and his plan went through perfectly.

[31:02] I think he got more joy out of pointing out the mistakes

[31:05] in the preparation of the cassoulet

[31:07] than in actually if it had been great

[31:09] and he had enjoyed the taste.

[31:12] Yeah, so Elliot, what was yours?

[31:15] I mean, it's not much of a surprise.

[31:17] Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah.

[31:18] Anything off of vines or trees.

[31:20] Show me Popeyes.

[31:23] I feel like this is a lame answer,

[31:25] and it's probably the same answer I would have said

[31:26] when I was in like fifth grade or something.

[31:28] But it's probably pizza, right?

[31:30] Pizza's good, pizza's great.

[31:32] Yeah.

[31:33] I mean, what?

[31:34] I don't know, you should live with two children,

[31:35] and I think it's possible your taste for pizza

[31:38] will decline as they demand it at multiple meals a week.

[31:41] I mean, if it's good enough for the Ninja Turtles,

[31:43] it's good enough for Stuart.

[31:44] Okay.

[31:45] They live in a sewer, Stu.

[31:48] Yeah, yeah, they have high standards.

[31:51] The thing is-

[31:52] The teacher's a rat.

[31:54] They don't wear clothes.

[31:55] They're naked in the sewers with a rat.

[31:57] Like, their lives are terrible.

[32:01] Yeah, that's true.

[32:02] Not to mention the nonstop violence

[32:04] that they're subjected to.

[32:05] Yeah.

[32:07] Uh-huh, and dancing.

[32:07] They got most of the interests of the public good,

[32:09] so at least there's that.

[32:10] I guess so.

[32:11] I mean, there's a certain point you wonder

[32:13] if the Krang and Bebop and Rocksteady and Shredder

[32:16] are so incompetent, like how much do the Turtles

[32:18] really need to step in, you know, to stop them?

[32:21] Yeah, you're saying that, like Indiana Jones

[32:24] and Raiders of the Lost Ark,

[32:25] if the Ninja Turtles just stayed out of it,

[32:28] it would have wrapped up neatly.

[32:29] I mean, worst case scenario,

[32:31] Baxter Stockman just flies away.

[32:33] Yeah, that's fair.

[32:34] Doesn't bother anybody, yeah.

[35:38] get to know you, get to know you quiz.

[35:41] We're on.

[35:42] I think we've been,

[35:43] I think we're making a stake with the quiz.

[35:44] I think I've been answering honestly

[35:45] than I should have been answered in funny ways.

[35:47] Oh, I don't know.

[35:49] I mean, I think, you know.

[35:52] I like to think that this is endearing.

[35:54] Yeah.

[35:55] Okay, great.

[35:56] Or maybe not.

[35:57] Maybe people have already turned this off long ago.

[35:58] Now we're on, we're on question number 23.

[36:00] We put the end in endearing.

[36:02] We're on question 23.

[36:04] I skipped a few.

[36:06] So guys, you do not have tattoos.

[36:10] If you're going to get a tattoo, what would you get?

[36:13] Scrooge McDuck.

[36:14] That's a perfect one.

[36:17] But peeing on something like Calvin?

[36:19] Yeah, he's peeing on Calvin.

[36:22] He's peeing on Calvin who's peeing on a Chevrolet logo.

[36:28] What a layered tattoo.

[36:29] I was talking to my family about this

[36:31] and they talked me out of it.

[36:32] I was saying, I'm not going to get a tattoo,

[36:34] but if I did, I could see getting like an octopus

[36:36] on my elbow and just tentacles go up and down my arms,

[36:40] radiating out of that.

[36:41] I think it would look cool.

[36:42] That does look, that sounds really cool.

[36:45] Guys, this question I think is-

[36:48] Wait, wait, if you were going to get another tattoo,

[36:50] what would it be?

[36:52] Oh, maybe a beholder or like a glass of booze or something.

[37:00] To remind you, you're like, what do I sell again?

[37:02] And you look at it, oh, right, right.

[37:04] A beholder, a glass of booze.

[37:06] Oh yeah.

[37:08] I had an idea where the, it was a cocktail

[37:10] where the garnish was a beholder

[37:13] that's been speared by a sword.

[37:15] Maybe someday I'll still get that.

[37:17] Okay, guys, this one-

[37:19] Get it, where?

[37:21] At the D&D themed bar.

[37:23] It's called, what's the name of a D&D themed bar?

[37:29] What's a good name for that?

[37:32] Saving throw, I don't know.

[37:34] You would think I would have already had

[37:35] like a million of these cute.

[37:39] But I burned that list.

[37:40] I burned that list when we opened Hinterlands.

[37:42] Okay, so Elliot, what college major

[37:44] are you thinking of choosing and why?

[37:46] What college major am I thinking of choosing?

[37:49] Oh, wait.

[37:50] Wait, no, skip that one.

[37:52] I mean, I'll answer the question.

[37:55] Communications.

[37:56] It's pretty applicable to lots of different businesses.

[37:58] That's a good point.

[37:59] Dan?

[38:04] Well, computer science.

[38:06] I gotta go back in time and get a real job.

[38:12] Job of the future.

[38:13] Fair.

[38:15] You were what, an English major?

[38:17] I was an English and theater double major.

[38:19] Double major.

[38:21] That makes them doubly valuable, right?

[38:23] Doubly, I doubled up on majors

[38:27] that don't have a lot of employment opportunities,

[38:30] but I lucked out.

[38:31] But you've been working for years.

[38:32] I have been working.

[38:33] Well, after about a decade of not at the beginning.

[38:37] Elliot, you majored in physical education, right?

[38:40] Yeah, yeah.

[38:41] And not to teach physical education,

[38:43] but just to know my body really well,

[38:45] to know what it's capable of,

[38:46] to know what pleasures and pains it can produce.

[38:49] And it meant a lot of journeying around the world.

[38:53] It meant a lot of testing myself.

[38:54] It meant a lot of doing things

[38:55] that would break an ordinary person.

[38:57] But now I just know my body inside and out,

[38:59] and I just know I have to keep filling this gas tank

[39:01] with chicken so that I can keep operating

[39:03] at peak efficiency.

[39:04] Yeah.

[39:06] Elliot, what's the worst you've ever been physically hurt?

[39:12] I am very lucky in that I've avoided most physical pain.

[39:18] I've never had a broken bone or something like that.

[39:20] Really?

[39:21] Yeah, but I've needed, when I was a kid,

[39:24] I had to have a hernia operation.

[39:25] That was really painful.

[39:26] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[39:27] And I've had a lot of knee pain at various points.

[39:34] Not Dan ACL knee pain.

[39:35] It wasn't that bad, I guess.

[39:37] So the worst I've ever been,

[39:39] but does this mean emotionally also or just physically?

[39:41] Physically.

[39:42] Okay, because emotionally I've been hurt much worse.

[39:44] Oh, I'm sure.

[39:45] Well, I think we all have.

[39:46] Oh, very much so.

[39:49] But yeah, let me think about it some more.

[39:52] But I've never had like one big thing

[39:53] where I got hurt really badly

[39:55] and then had to like recover from it, you know?

[39:58] Yeah, I think, Dan.

[40:00] Not to steal your thunder, but I feel like your answer is part of Flophouse lore at this

[40:04] point, right?

[40:05] Well, yes, but not necessarily how one would think.

[40:11] I too have avoided most physical pain, knock on wood.

[40:16] I've been very fortunate that way.

[40:18] I tore my ACL.

[40:19] The thing about tearing your ACL, though, is it is extremely sharp pain for the brief

[40:24] period of time where the ACL is popping off inside of your knee where it's attached, but

[40:34] the actual thing itself is just cartilage.

[40:39] It does not have nerves in it, which is why I didn't know I'd done something to myself

[40:48] and I skied down the rest of the hill after I had had it happen, just feeling like, oh,

[40:55] the balance is off.

[40:57] Something weird's going on.

[40:58] Yeah, and you had to save that rec center, right?

[41:00] So you had to make sure you finished the run.

[41:03] Yeah, it was hard to.

[41:05] But then once I came out of my surgery to have it fixed, they were not very attentive.

[41:14] They were not paying attention to the fact that my anesthesia had worn off and the brace

[41:23] was digging into my surgery site pretty severely, and so I was writhing in pain at that point,

[41:31] but the actual ACL was not so bad because, again, no nerves in the cartilage there.

[41:38] You know what?

[41:39] I just realized something.

[41:41] I was kidnapped by a scientist, and my mouth was sewn to the butt of another person, and then my butt

[41:47] was sewn to another person's mouth.

[41:49] Oh, you were in the middle?

[41:50] Yeah, it was mostly emotional pain, but it certainly didn't feel great.

[41:54] It was uncomfortable.

[41:55] It was a lot of discomfort, yeah.

[41:57] But luckily, you're here now, and your mouth works just fine, from what I can tell.

[42:02] Well, I was actually kicked out of the program.

[42:07] The scientist eventually let me free because I wouldn't stop talking, and he just got tired of all the

[42:12] mumbling sounds coming from me.

[42:14] Yeah, yeah.

[42:15] All your stream of bits just inflated the guy you were attached to, and he popped like a balloon.

[42:20] Exactly, yeah.

[42:21] So the scientist said, I'm sorry.

[42:23] We're going to have to let you go, and I was like, no, no, no.

[42:25] I can still do this.

[42:26] I don't know why I was arguing for him to retain me in the program.

[42:29] Again, I was kidnapped, but I forgot to mention I do get excruciating headaches

[42:36] that suddenly appear out of nowhere and then disappear very quickly, as if a ghost bullet has just traveled through my head.

[42:42] Oh, weird.

[42:43] I talked to my doctor about it years ago, and she goes, yeah, I've heard of those.

[42:46] They end pretty quickly, right?

[42:47] And I'm like, yeah.

[42:48] And she goes, by the time you're going to do anything about them, they're over, so don't worry about it.

[42:51] And I was like that.

[42:52] Or dead.

[42:53] I was like that doesn't seem like the best plan, but okay.

[42:57] Yeah.

[42:58] But Stuart, I know you were attacked by a bunch of bees once.

[43:00] Yeah, I was.

[43:03] I've been attacked by bees multiple times, guys.

[43:07] That's because I'm always getting into trouble.

[43:09] That's why you wrote that monograph, so you're being attacked by bees.

[43:12] Yeah.

[43:13] I'm always sticking my snap where I don't belong.

[43:16] Usually hives full of honey.

[43:18] Yeah.

[43:19] Let's see.

[43:20] I've broken my arm in a couple different places.

[43:23] I've broken my nose.

[43:25] I've broken my fingers.

[43:27] I had a full thickness ligament tear in my thumb.

[43:31] My back is fucked up.

[43:33] My body's kind of a roadmap of pain.

[43:36] But also Wonderland.

[43:38] Yeah.

[43:39] But it's like next stop, Wonderland.

[43:41] Like it's, you know, not the best kind of Wonderland.

[43:44] Yeah, we're not there yet.

[43:45] Some kind of Wonderland.

[43:47] And also when I was in college, I had to have facial surgery to correct an underbite.

[43:55] So they had to chop my face apart and turn it into the picture of perfection that you see before you.

[44:01] Okay.

[44:02] Now that we've talked about that heavy stuff, we got a lighter one.

[44:05] Elliot, do you like roller coasters?

[44:08] Yes.

[44:10] Cool.

[44:11] Dan?

[44:12] Not really.

[44:15] I like Space Mountain.

[44:18] But mostly I prefer the kind of amusement rides that you'll find at, say, Disneyland or something where you just float past something and get to look at it more than something that's going to shake you around and scare you.

[44:35] You know, I'm a fan.

[44:37] I came to them later in life.

[44:39] And I also get motion sick pretty easily.

[44:43] But I like a nice wooden roller coaster.

[44:46] I think I like the old-timiness of it.

[44:48] Sure, sure.

[44:50] Like the Cyclone, can't be beat.

[44:52] Like many small people, I love being tossed around through the air.

[44:57] So I'm a big fan of them.

[44:59] And I like heights because I don't get to experience that very much.

[45:02] Yeah.

[45:04] Even though it's a fleeting sensation on a roller coaster.

[45:07] Yeah, yeah.

[45:08] Well, it teaches me that I shouldn't envy tall people because their lives are just blinks of an eye for God.

[45:14] So the roller coaster really teaches me that.

[45:16] You get to experience what it is to be Icarus.

[45:19] Yeah, without all that messy wax getting all over me.

[45:23] Yeah, that shit's gross.

[45:25] I will say my favorite roller coaster is still probably the Coney Island Cyclone because the way that – the safety bar does not really reach me.

[45:33] So I have to wedge myself into the seat basically and hold – and push out with my hands the entire time so I don't fall out.

[45:40] And so it adds a little bit of extra real danger to what should be just simulated danger.

[45:45] So we have – we got another light one here.

[45:51] As opposed to the heavy, dark question about do you like roller coasters.

[45:56] Elliot, do you believe in soulmates?

[45:59] No.

[46:01] Okay.

[46:02] Dan?

[46:04] No, that's – there's not one true person for you.

[46:08] Love is in part a choice that you make and you work at.

[46:13] Uh-huh.

[46:15] I believe that I have two soulmates.

[46:18] They're called Elliot and Dan, and we do a show called The Plowfest together.

[46:21] Boy, is there egg on my face now.

[46:23] Bet you guys feel like shitheads.

[46:25] Yeah.

[46:27] Elliot, if you were an animal, what animal would you be?

[46:31] What animal would I be or what animal would I want to be?

[46:34] I'm going to say what animal would you want to be.

[46:37] Okay, because I'd want to be like – I don't know, like a bison maybe.

[46:44] I always liked them, but I'd probably be one of those little dogs that doesn't stop barking all the time if I'm being honest with myself.

[46:51] I mean they get a lot of love and attention, and they also get to travel around in a purse or some other kind of carrier.

[46:56] I mean it is the dream of being put in a bag by a giant and carried around.

[47:02] I would like to be an otter.

[47:06] You get to like slide down water slides and just like swim around, duck in and out, lie on your back with like some food on your stomach.

[47:20] Every now and then you can start up a jug band.

[47:22] Yeah, that's a good idea.

[47:24] Yeah, I mean I feel it's hard to say not polar bear or seal because when you see them at the zoo, they – like that is the most FOMO I can think of is when it's like a hot day and you're at the zoo and you just see those dudes like swimming around and having a good-ass time in the water.

[47:42] I mean but it's still much – even in the water, it's much warmer than the habitat they're designed to be in.

[47:48] I understand that, but I'm just saying like man, like if they can have that much fun in a shitty situation, they're just making the best of it.

[47:57] Can I change my answer? I'd actually like to be a cormorant.

[48:00] You can't say dragon. That's my backup is dragon.

[48:02] Okay, well then actually I would want to say dinosaur, but I'll be a cormorant.

[48:05] That's a diving bird. They can fly. They're beautiful, and also they're the most efficient maritime predator for amount of effort put in for amount of food that they are able to catch.

[48:15] I learned that recently.

[48:18] Okay, so that was –

[48:21] My backup answer is Scrooge McDuck.

[48:24] Technically an animal. It works.

[48:26] And he can buy all that stuff that you wanted to buy before because money is no object.

[48:31] I mean but as Dan has mentioned in his live performances sometimes that Scrooge McDuck's money seems to be measured mainly in coin volume.

[48:41] Yeah, not a lot of paper money in there.

[48:45] Okay, we're in the homestretch here, guys.

[48:47] Elliot, what TV show do you turn on when you just want to zone out and feel better?

[48:52] It's either Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[48:56] I'll just turn on the Pluto TV Mystery Science Theater channel and watch a little bit of it, or until recently when my wife and I just wanted to laugh, and we couldn't think of what to watch.

[49:07] We would just turn on Seinfeld, but then Hulu switched Seinfeld to there.

[49:11] You have to buy cable through Hulu department, which I did not care for.

[49:17] So I'll stick with Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[49:21] I feel like I can dip in and dip out because the episodes are long.

[49:24] It's a home movie.

[49:25] Yeah.

[49:27] Well, I also was going to say Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[49:30] That is my –

[49:32] But then I scooped you.

[49:33] That's my preferred napping show because it's a very comforting rhythm where not much is going on in the movie and you just have people sort of talking over it.

[49:42] It's kind of podcast-like in that way, and you can just sort of just enjoy a comforting river of a dumb old movie with some friends riffing over it.

[49:58] And I don't know.

[50:00] of the pandemic, I was watching through the good seasons of The Simpsons, so that's another one.

[50:07] That's the most recent season?

[50:11] Hoo-boly.

[50:13] Yeah, I mean, I think-

[50:14] You said, Dan, you said The Simpsons really went downhill when Hank Azaria stopped doing

[50:19] Abu's voice.

[50:22] I love to put insensitive words into Dan's mouth.

[50:27] Yeah, I think lately, I think my comfort show is just kind of like randomly

[50:34] picking an episode of Schitt's Creek because it's just pleasant and people are nice.

[50:40] Although, I guess in the past it was something like Spaced,

[50:44] because I'm a bit of an Anglophile when it comes to TV.

[50:48] In the past, I would put on my news radio DVDs a lot for that purpose.

[50:52] Oh, yes.

[50:53] Cane weather.

[50:55] Because you love Joe Rogan.

[51:00] It's one of the, it's so funny because it's like, I think about this sometimes,

[51:03] that like watching that show as an adolescent, if you said to me,

[51:06] which member of the cast is going to become one of the most listened to people in media

[51:12] and like a major political force, I'd be like, well, any of them but Joe Rogan.

[51:17] It's crazy.

[51:18] Yeah, like that his stepping stone was making people eat bugs for money.

[51:23] He's had an interesting career progression.

[51:28] Okay, guys, let's just wrap this up.

[51:30] We have one more question.

[51:31] This one's for all the marbles.

[51:34] So this is a game.

[51:36] It's always a game, Elliot.

[51:39] What is your favorite color and what's your least favorite color?

[51:49] My favorite color is green and my least favorite color is red.

[51:54] I think my, you know, my favorite color is blue and my least favorite color is probably

[51:57] the color of night starring Bruce Willis.

[52:00] Wow.

[52:00] Is it because you see his wiener or?

[52:03] I think because you'd see his wiener and it's not earned.

[52:06] Okay, that's fair.

[52:07] Yeah, it seems gratuitous.

[52:10] Yeah, I think, let's see.

[52:14] I feel like I would say like, like a nice, like a nice blue.

[52:19] I'm feeling blue lately.

[52:21] WDW, I beat Elliot to the punch.

[52:25] I can't believe I didn't say that before.

[52:26] Oh, man, I was so busy trying to think of a color of night joke.

[52:31] Yeah, and then I don't know.

[52:35] I feel like.

[52:37] I guess I'm not into like yellow as much.

[52:40] I'm just thinking about my wardrobe at this point.

[52:44] So you mean the band yellow who's hit?

[52:46] Oh, yeah, it's heard throughout Ferris Bueller's Day off.

[52:49] Oh, I didn't realize that was the name of the band.

[52:51] What's what song do they sing?

[52:52] That's called Oh, yeah.

[52:54] How does that song go?

[52:58] I just imagine a Twix commercial and you'll hear it.

[53:00] Beautiful, more beautiful.

[53:05] So, Stuart, are we are we in love with one another now?

[53:10] Have you been to the New York Times?

[53:12] Yeah, yeah.

[53:13] What pets are right for us?

[53:16] What is this?

[53:17] Like which which Game of Thrones character did turn out?

[53:20] This was 71 good questions to ask your best friends from Teen Vogue from last year.

[53:27] Now, I did skip a bunch.

[53:30] Many of them met beforehand.

[53:32] Many of which there's a weird amount of doubles.

[53:37] But, you know, that's part of part of conversations with your friends.

[53:40] Sometimes you just make them down the same thing.

[53:43] Yeah, yeah.

[53:43] You do the same bits over and over and over.

[53:47] But I hope for our listeners at home, if you're a new listener,

[53:51] hopefully this gives you an idea of what these three guys are all about.

[53:55] It doesn't really give you an idea what the show is like.

[53:59] And if you're a longtime listener, maybe this clears clear some things up.

[54:03] Yeah, thanks, Stuart.

[54:06] No, you're welcome, Dan.

[54:08] You know, I'm just trying to help get us get us all to come out of our shells.

[54:13] Like Ninja Turtles on their tour.

[54:17] But if you take them out of their shells, they're just going to die.

[54:20] So that's too bad.

[54:20] Yeah, it's attached to their backbone.

[54:22] You just got to rip them out.

[54:23] Now, here's the thing about the coming out of our shells tour that the Ninja Turtles run.

[54:27] They did not come out of their shells.

[54:28] They were still in their shells.

[54:31] It's good.

[54:32] Yeah, no, that's a good point.

[54:33] We need to get a refund.

[54:34] Yeah.

[54:35] Yeah.

[54:55] I've been Stuart Wellington.

[54:57] I've been Dan McCoy.

[54:58] I'm Elliot Kalin.

[55:00] I'm feeling a little vulnerable after revealing all those things about myself,

[55:04] but it's a good feeling of vulnerable.

[55:06] Oh, cool.
