FH Mini 35 - Moflopoly

[0:00] all right guys let's start this thing you guys ready that all right let's start it and fart it

[0:09] love this we're gonna coin a new phrase yeah all ready kick the tires and fart the fires

[0:18] just give me some clean air to start this kick this up you got it big old big old fart clean air

[0:25] uh hey everyone and well sorry i got in one let's keep going i saw there was i

[0:32] i was peeking in addition to saying a hey peeking dan

[0:43] hey everyone welcome to the flop house this is a flop house mini it's when uh we do on the

[0:51] off weeks of our show we don't watch a bad movie we talk about it we sort of do whatever

[0:58] it's kind of a free-for-all uh we've been we've been um sort of trading the reigns for the flop

[1:06] house menus i'm sorry i've been dan mccoy i'll say that before we get into this cool yeah uh

[1:13] i'm stewart wellington i'm elliot caylan ready to say my name unlike my two co-hosts you did it

[1:20] you did it okay well let's let's point elliot in the name game let's check the scoreboard uh with

[1:28] banana it's dan banana faux fama it's stewart and banana fama whatever the rest of it is that's

[1:35] elliot so elliot is currently in the lead on the name game uh i was i was saying that that we

[1:40] we've been uh trading around who takes the wheel and i feel like um we should uh make a bigger

[1:46] deal of that because uh it's kind of a fun element of these minis that uh we should mention it more

[1:53] in the in the television advertising that we buy the commercials yeah we should make it clear to

[1:59] the audience because uh i think it is a sort of a right now right now the billboards we purchased

[2:05] just to say the flop house minis try them but they don't they don't mention the host element

[2:09] yeah should we should we play ourselves in the commercials or should we have actors play us

[2:15] because yeah that's a good question i mean we're not professional actors i mean elliot kind of is

[2:19] no look let me get semi-professional dilettante and i saw dan in a college performance of hair

[2:26] and he was pretty good yeah let me he didn't get naked though i was i was clawed so i sang

[2:34] manchester england england i sang uh uh where do i go at the end i had a big part in uh the

[2:43] flesh failures slash let the sunshine in uh i'll tell you the i'll tell you the flesh failure that

[2:49] you didn't get nude at that show come on exactly put your money on the table uh-huh that's that's

[2:55] another name for bloops at the end of a porno speaking of bloops uh this intro um hey can i

[3:03] say the point that i wanted to make which was i think that the audience would appreciate these

[3:08] minis uh uh knowing that part of the fun of them is one of us gets to impose some sort of uh you

[3:19] know stricture or uh you know concept on the others and uh you know it really brings out sort

[3:27] of the the sadist side of the the flop house where you get to like now i take control um

[3:35] speaking of which now kids are in charge yeah yeah yeah it's it's freaky friday

[3:42] um and i wanted to uh i wanted to play a little game i invented okay now is this now is this the

[3:49] is this a phantasm type of game or a jigsaw type of game um it's more of like a parker brothers

[3:56] type of game okay although fewer dead bodies and lost souls okay yeah it is very specific

[4:02] to the flop house though so um okay would you even call it muflopoli i would call it muflopoli

[4:12] that is what it's now called it's called muflopoli that does suggest a certain sort of

[4:17] capitalist element to the game that it does not have oh okay i'm out uh the game is is this i'm

[4:24] going to we we frequently talked about how we've done so many episodes of this podcast and so many

[4:29] of the movies that we watch are bad in unmemorable ways um that we forget wholesale movies that we

[4:38] have watched for the flop house podcast so uh just to just to get my wrap my head around it

[4:45] how many episodes of the show have we done dan uh it's around 350 now i think we're just short

[4:52] of it when this episode comes out or maybe this i i can't like we're doing see we've even forgotten

[4:57] how many episodes we've done but that's and that's including minis that that number no no including

[5:03] look we we messed up because for a while we were doing we should have just kept adding

[5:08] it could have just done the minis as normal numbering yeah just normal numbering for all

[5:13] of it so the fact that we've been doing this for 14 years would seem more impressive in the

[5:18] numbering scheme of episodes rather than us having far fewer episodes than podcasts that

[5:24] are younger than us we really shouldn't have had 20 different subtitles under which episodes have

[5:30] their own numbering like flop house the adventure begins and flop house the adventure continues that

[5:35] should just be counted as one series yeah yeah you're right um so american flop story asylum

[5:41] and american flop story coven it's the same show guys it's the same actors basically right

[5:48] should have just had been the same thing but uh let's okay this is hey wait dan that's my show

[5:59] um the whole point is i'm gonna take us down a trip down memory lane see if you guys can

[6:05] remember the titles of some movies we watched okay um so this is when alex should loop in

[6:12] i don't know some sound just enough of a sound bite from like remember the time maybe

[6:17] uh whatever is short enough that we're not gonna get exactly soon yeah so we don't get like

[6:23] like a sandman version of michael jackson coming up and uh stealing our queens away

[6:29] so the way it's gonna work is like this i've actually put a little more thought into the

[6:33] mechanics of the game than i normally do for these things so some uh yes i'm gonna alternate

[6:40] asking uh questions to each of you okay and so the person i ask will obviously get

[6:47] first first shot at answering the question and at the point attached to it uh however

[6:52] if they do not get it the other person will get a chance to steal um there'll be two rounds two

[6:59] rounds of six questions each that's three for each of you okay you lost me and and one time around

[7:10] like uh the rounds will be uh broken up by a commercial break and then one time around uh

[7:17] you are allowed to ask for a hint so use your hints your uh one per round hints wisely

[7:25] i have some written up do we have like a lifeline or a phone a friend or anything

[7:29] uh the hints are the the lifeline okay mechanic of this game when do we get to play our quick

[7:36] turn of quamper cards that's when the scores are reversed and the rules of the game are

[7:41] abruptly changed yeah uh that will be in around 15 which is unfortunately in a different episode

[7:47] of the show i'm sorry to hear that okay uh how many whammies are there there's no whammies

[7:54] what you say no whammy no whammies yeah because you're hoping for the ideal uh the ideal utopian

[7:59] society which is one without whammies yeah yeah if a whammy shows up in this game we are all

[8:04] fucked we're all in trouble because the thing is that's the problem with utopias is there's no

[8:09] whammies yeah okay um so it's the original the original novel utopia it ends with with the

[8:16] traveler saying well i should stay here and they said we should warn you there's no whammies and

[8:20] he says then i shall leave yeah yeah that was in the first draft of the script of the matrix they're

[8:25] like humanity couldn't accept a world without whammies all right so uh this is round one

[8:36] question one they go they go back there was that back to the future scene where he goes back and

[8:39] kills hitler and then he comes back to the present they go yeah but there's no whammies and he goes

[8:43] i've got to undo what i've done yeah so dan you're saying round one round one question one uh the

[8:50] first one the first one will go to you elliot now the the way this will work is i have um the short

[8:58] synopsis that imdb gives we all know often not the best synopsis provided on imdb but that's part of

[9:06] the fun of the game is the chance of like what movie you get so in this case it's gonna be a

[9:12] good game when the instructions keep telling you how much fun the game is when the fun is not

[9:17] self-evident but has to be explained to you uh okay elliot the first question goes to you first

[9:25] the description is an unstable escaped convict terrorizes a woman who is alone with her two

[9:32] children what is the name of the flop house movie we watched with that plot

[9:37] we watched a movie with that plot

[9:41] okay let's see unstable escaped convict there's a woman alone with two children

[9:49] it's not is it the one it's not the one with idris elba right she didn't have children in that did she

[9:54] i cannot give any hints unless you're officially using your hand and i'm not

[10:00] Even then only the hands I already have written out. Okay. I'm not gonna use my hint

[10:05] I would I'd be foolish to throw that throw that chestnut away so quickly that advantage

[10:10] I'm gonna say no good deed. That's the interstellar movie. You're correct. It is no good deed

[10:16] Oh pull that out what somewhere in the deep reaches of my butt

[10:20] So that is one point to Elliot in that case

[10:25] To say to back up to reinforce the point of the of the game until you mentioned that and I started thinking until you mentioned

[10:31] Tell me the summary. I started thinking about it. I did forget we had seen that movie. I

[10:35] Still don't know

[10:40] All right, did I watch it you were there I think yeah, I

[10:46] Top ten of the year

[10:48] What I did I tried to make sure I may have made a mistake along the line

[10:52] I tried to make sure I'm looking at the website that

[10:56] That all of these movies were not ones where one of you were gone because of a guest

[11:03] I don't remember but you you really loved it. You said it was you said it was up above all the other releases that year

[11:08] Yeah, oh, so I also forgot to tell you that I have arranged these in

[11:14] reverse

[11:16] Chronological episode order Wow. So the one the earlier ones have been more recent

[11:22] Theoretically things will get harder as we person

[11:26] So they call that they call that the backwards McCoy, yeah

[11:31] So, okay, here's

[11:34] one for you Stewart a

[11:36] university professor and a team

[11:40] Wait, yeah, that's the right one. Sorry. I'm university professor and a team of students

[11:46] Conduct an experiment on a young woman

[11:50] uncovering terrifyingly dark

[11:52] unexpected forces in the process

[11:54] Fuck is that?

[11:58] The is that like deadly lessons the adventures of Simon Conjurer

[12:05] I'm afraid that that

[12:07] Was not deadly lessons Elliot. Would you like to try and steal this?

[12:11] I don't remember the title

[12:13] But I think that's the one where Roger Bart was the professor and it turns out he's the killer at the end

[12:19] That is incorrect this one is

[12:22] again, pretty vague

[12:24] I'm DB summaries, but this one is the quiet one starring Jared Harris the quiet. Oh, right

[12:32] house movie

[12:34] All right

[12:36] Jared Harris. Yeah, his

[12:38] his wife is a guest on an upcoming episode of

[12:43] I know the owner

[12:45] That's the one

[12:47] They're in a house where someone there were like witches in there at some point or say yes

[12:51] I can reveal now that Stuart has mentioned it

[12:54] The hint would have been Stewart recently had dinner with the lead actor's wife

[13:00] So

[13:02] Yes, that's a hint. That's good for Stuart and not for the audience

[13:06] Is it Allegra Riggio slash Harris

[13:11] Okay. Well remember

[13:13] you are

[13:14] One third of the way through round one. You each have one hint per round. So Oh

[13:21] Yes, you don't have to be stingy. Just whenever you feel in trouble if I don't use my hint

[13:28] Can I redeem it for store credit?

[13:31] You

[13:33] Can you can save it and redeem it at a later bullshit Dan game. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So this next one

[13:41] Is for Elliot

[13:43] The summary is a former sports star who's fallen on hard times

[13:48] Starts coaching his son's football team as a way to get his life together

[13:54] His attempts to become an adult are met with challenges from the attractive football moms who pursue him at every turn

[14:00] What was the name of that movie?

[14:03] It's bad. Dad soccer. Dad is what we call it. I've assumed that it's football meaning soccer

[14:07] That's the that's the that's the twist you've thrown at me. Yeah

[14:12] I'm just writing what I'm to be head

[14:19] What was it called it's not the big green that's a kid soccer movie it's not victory

[14:25] That's the soccer movie where they play the Nazis. It's not

[14:29] Invictus that's a different soccer movie about South Africa. Yeah

[14:37] Playing for keeps is playing for keeps you

[14:41] Hold it out of your brain

[14:43] Once again, all I had to do was think of every soccer movie

[14:47] Stewart

[14:48] Elliot now leads you two to zero, but here's your chance to make up some of that ground

[14:58] And an angel under the thumb of a Ruth ruthless gangster is saved by a trumpet player

[15:06] down on his luck

[15:08] This was a particularly memorable one, I don't remember the title that damn it

[15:13] Mickey Rourke's in it. Mm-hmm. This is the classic one where he hits on a lady by putting a lemon under a handkerchief and then

[15:20] Rolling it down a bar at her

[15:23] I don't remember that

[15:25] Is it Oh passion play it is passion play

[15:32] No scope to that shit, dude

[15:38] So I just I'll tell you right now

[15:41] That

[15:42] Hints do not carry over. You're not a crew to hence if you don't use them this round

[15:48] So each of you I would advise you to just go ahead and for us to use these

[15:52] I'm just helping you out with strategy. I'm saying that

[15:56] There's no point in saving them anymore for round about to say I was about to say

[16:01] Thanks for telling us the rules in the middle of the game

[16:03] But also like I wouldn't have I would have stopped listening if you were telling us all the rules the beginning of the game

[16:07] Yeah, that's the right way to do it. I thought I taught you games before

[16:14] All right, so this

[16:18] Is for Elliot again and it goes like this

[16:25] Soon after moving into their seemingly idyllic new home a

[16:30] Family learns of a brutal crime committed against former residents of the dwelling

[16:38] Pretty generic plot very generic

[16:43] That is a generic

[16:46] Generic

[16:47] plot

[16:49] You know what? I'm gonna live dangerously. I'm gonna use my hand right off. Okay. Well, obviously we're not listening even even then

[16:57] The hint is but if you were telling us used your hints, but if he uses I know

[17:03] You're I'm saying that you acted as if you didn't know that that was your homie

[17:06] But if he uses his hand playing along with your game if he uses his hand, is it all used up?

[17:11] It's used up for this round. He gets another one

[17:14] Again

[17:16] Another hint until the next time we play the game

[17:18] No, but I what we can but we do do a steal a sign where I can steal your hand if I give the proper

[17:25] verbal

[17:26] Nonverbal hand motion signal which the audience will not such easy game again. Okay. Anyway, the the hint Elliot is

[17:33] The leads of this movie are married to one another

[17:38] It doesn't do anything for you, that's weirdly I think I kind of knew that and it still doesn't help me particularly

[17:46] How about is it

[17:52] Show me the Mexican

[17:55] No, that's not it Stuart. You have a

[18:01] Name

[18:04] A

[18:05] name

[18:06] It's Daniel Craig and Rachel Weiss, right? And I'm trying to know now. I remember that was the ghost house or something

[18:13] Oh, no, Dan. Can I go back? Can I take that as a hint that Sue it gave me?

[18:17] No, but if goes after your final answer, you're incorrect. Yeah, it's stream house stream house

[18:26] Super close very close. You were very close it might in defense in my defense

[18:32] I did not remember the plot of dream house. Yeah, that's

[18:37] I didn't remember the title

[18:40] In my defense I did not know

[18:42] All right, so

[18:44] Your honor in my defense. Yes, I did kill him, but I was very mad

[18:49] so this one is for Stuart, uh, the

[18:54] Synopsis is a rising country music songwriter works with a fallen star to work their way to fame

[19:01] Causing romantic complications along the way

[19:07] It's not crazy heart, although that's basically the same synopsis, yeah

[19:14] What?

[19:18] I'll use my hint, please. I

[19:22] Will throw my hint in the trash used up just tell it to me Dan I

[19:27] Will give you the hint the one I have here, you know is pretty useless. So I'll give you this one this movie

[19:34] stars Gwyneth Paltrow

[19:39] That's true

[19:44] Actually, I I'm gonna take when to a steward son, I'm gonna take issue with the hint you gave me in the previous question Dan

[19:49] I'm gonna

[19:53] Gwyneth Paltrow man, it's like like an American quilt or some trash

[20:00] I don't remember. I'm going to say it's the Country Bears movie.

[20:06] It's not that. Elliot...

[20:09] I don't remember. I think it had Angel in the title.

[20:12] It did not.

[20:14] Oh.

[20:15] What was it?

[20:16] It was Country Strong.

[20:18] Country Strong. That's right.

[20:20] So Dan, here's my issue.

[20:22] When Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz made Dreamhouse, they were not married.

[20:25] They fell in love while making that film.

[20:27] I didn't say that they were married at the time.

[20:29] I just said the two stars are married.

[20:32] I'm talking about the present tense.

[20:34] They are still married.

[20:36] I think that was a little bit of verbal trickery, Dan.

[20:39] I think you owe me half a hint at a later question.

[20:41] I think when you assume things, you make an ass out of you.

[20:45] Okay.

[20:46] Well, at the next round, I'm asking for a hint.

[20:49] I don't care what the rules say.

[20:50] So what's the scores, Dan?

[20:52] Dan, I was hoping you would get mad and say you do get a hint in the next round.

[20:57] Luckily, I wasn't paying attention, but that was a pretty good troll.

[21:02] So going out of the first round, at the end of the first round, that's how they say it.

[21:08] Elliot has two and Stuart has one.

[21:12] So no scoring during that round.

[21:14] That was a tough round.

[21:15] I got you on the ropes, Elliot.

[21:17] I should have remembered Country Strong except for the fact that until you said Gwyneth Paltrow, I also didn't remember seeing that movie.

[21:24] Yeah.

[21:25] That's the one where they bury a bird at one point, right?

[21:28] Yes, there is a bird involved somehow.

[21:30] That was going to be the other hint.

[21:32] Yeah, I don't remember.

[21:37] Hi, I'm Annabelle Gurwitch.

[21:39] And I'm Laura House.

[21:40] And we're the hosts of Tiny Victories.

[21:42] My tiny victory is that I sewed that button back on the day after it broke.

[21:49] We talk about that little thing that you did that's a big deal to you, but nobody else cares.

[21:53] Did you get that Guggenheim Genius Award?

[21:55] We don't want to hear from you.

[21:56] We want little bitty tiny victories.

[21:58] My tiny victory is a tattoo that I added on to this past weekend.

[22:02] Let's talk about it.

[22:03] My victory is that I'm one year cancer free.

[22:05] But my tiny victory is that I took all of the cushions off the couch, pounded them out, put them back, and it looks so great.

[22:15] So if you're like us and you want to celebrate the tiny achievements of ordinary people, listen to Tiny Victories.

[22:21] It's on every Monday on Maximum Fun.

[22:26] Well, hello, I'm Renee Colvert.

[22:28] Hi, I'm Alexis Preston.

[22:29] And we're the hosts of Can I Pet Your Dog?

[22:31] And we got breaking news.

[22:33] We got an expose.

[22:34] All the beans have been spilled via an Apple podcast review that said this show isn't well researched.

[22:41] Well, yeah, no duh.

[22:42] Of course it's not.

[22:43] Not since the day we started has it been well researched.

[22:46] Guessing and anthropomorphizing dogs is what we do.

[22:50] Can I Pet Your Dog promise is that we will never do more than 10 seconds of research before telling you excitedly about any dog we see.

[22:57] I'm going to come at you with top ten enthusiasm, minimal facts.

[23:01] We're here for a good time, not an educated time.

[23:03] So if you love dogs and you don't love research, well, you know what?

[23:07] Come on in to Can I Pet Your Dog podcast every Tuesday on Maximum Fun Network.

[23:12] So before we move along to round two, a brief commercial break to say this podcast is sponsored in part by BetterHelp Online Therapy.

[23:24] It doesn't matter who you are or what you have.

[23:28] Life can be stressful.

[23:30] Tell me about it.

[23:31] Stuart, do you want to talk about how stressful life is?

[23:35] Life is super stressful.

[23:36] I don't want to talk about all the ins and outs of it, but it's been rough for this small business owner.

[23:41] Let me tell you.

[23:42] Yeah.

[23:43] But I won't tell you.

[23:44] So ignore that part.

[23:46] Well, I mean if you're –

[23:48] Don't let me tell you.

[23:49] You could probably use the chance to unload and get it out.

[23:53] Talk to someone who's completely unbiased about your life, someone who's not going to judge you or take sides on anything.

[23:59] You'll be surprised at how much it can help.

[24:42] And if you are interested and you want to give it a go, I would recommend checking them out.

[24:50] Yes, we've all had times where we're going through rough patches.

[24:54] I'm going through one right now outside of this episode, and I will be getting help myself.

[24:59] So listeners, you do the same.

[25:01] If it's good enough for me, then it's certainly good enough for you.

[25:04] I'm nothing, so we shouldn't do it.

[25:07] This is one of the issues I'm going to be dealing with.

[25:09] This is one of the issues I'm going to be dealing with.

[25:30] But let us return.

[25:34] It's a lot easier than doing a podcast for 14 years, let me tell you.

[25:37] To the thrilling.

[25:39] When the best idea we can come up with is what stuff have we seen we don't remember.

[25:45] Dan, I'm just joking with you.

[25:46] It's a great idea.

[25:47] I love it, and I think the audience is going to love it too.

[25:50] Wow, Dan's erasing some of your points.

[25:53] Oh, no.

[25:55] It's okay.

[25:56] I hacked into his computer war game style, and I'm giving myself 100 points.

[26:00] What's this game?

[26:01] Thermonuclear War.

[26:02] I guess I'll just play this right now.

[26:03] No.

[26:05] Dan, I didn't know your computer was part of the Pentagon.

[26:07] Nuclear Missile Command, I'm sorry.

[26:10] Well, we have returned for the exciting second and final round of Maflopoli again.

[26:20] That is misleading.

[26:22] And just to catch everybody up to speed, it's going to be extra tense because we've already used our hints, folks.

[26:28] No.

[26:29] There's no hints left.

[26:30] We really got to rely on the old gray matter.

[26:33] This is the hintless round.

[26:35] Now for round two, we're going to switch it up.

[26:37] Elliot got to go first.

[26:38] I guess we're just the outsiders by S.E. Hintless right now because we don't have any hints left.

[26:43] Elliot got to go first in round one, so Stuart will kick off round two.

[26:48] If this wasn't such a cutthroat game, I would suggest Elliot get half a point for his S.E. Hintless joke.

[26:54] Thank you.

[26:56] Yeah, no.

[26:57] You have to crush your competitor.

[27:00] You can't be so kind.

[27:02] No, you can't enjoy their great puns about YA authors no matter how classic.

[27:08] Stuart, here's your synopsis.

[27:11] Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population of the face of the earth.

[27:26] I'm going to say I think this is Skyline.

[27:29] This is Skyline, episode 27.

[27:33] Yes.

[27:34] Movie based on chili.

[27:37] Movie with a little extra cinnamon in it.

[27:40] That's their secret?

[27:42] Part of it.

[27:44] I wish that was the slogan for a movie.

[27:46] The movie with a little extra cinnamon in it.

[27:48] Elliot.

[27:50] But it stars like the Randy and Bandy cinnamon.

[27:53] Like there's two of them, so.

[27:55] Randy and Bandy.

[27:58] Yeah.

[27:59] Okay.

[28:00] So this synopsis for you, Elliot.

[28:03] In Paris, a young employee in the office of the U.S. ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.

[28:14] Is that – I'm going to get that first word wrong.

[28:18] Is that From Paris With Love with John Travolta?

[28:22] It is From Paris With Love.

[28:25] I was so worried.

[28:26] You saw my stealing hand.

[28:28] Ready to go.

[28:30] I was worried it was going to be To Paris With Love.

[28:32] Yeah.

[28:33] I remember – that was when John Travolta was like a super suave, bald spy, right?

[28:36] Which would make sense because there's two of them.

[28:39] So To Paris With Love would work on multiple levels, right?

[28:43] It could also work as a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen like when they were kids video where it's two Paris – and it's like I went to Paris, and you stayed in America, and we've got to get our parents back together.

[28:54] Right.

[28:55] Yeah.

[28:56] All right.

[28:57] So back to Stuart for the next question.

[28:59] Okay.

[29:00] An adventurous but naive teenager must rally his group of friends to protect their world from conflict between the Lakhni and Nohrin people.

[29:18] This is when – this is when things get tough.

[29:25] Okay, Dan.

[29:26] Give me a hint.

[29:27] The lead character is voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.

[29:34] Fuck.

[29:36] Okay.

[29:38] So voiced is – he's probably animated.

[29:42] He's probably not a puppet.

[29:44] Okay.

[29:46] No puppet.

[29:48] Could be a puppet.

[29:49] It's probably not Jim Henson's Freddie Prinze Jr. Adventures.

[29:52] Give me the synopsis one more time.

[29:55] I'm probably mispronouncing the made-up words in it.

[30:00] But an adventurous but naive teenager must rally his group of friends to protect their

[30:05] world from conflict between the Lachni and Nohren people."

[30:09] Fuck.

[30:10] Oh, man, I don't know, uh, uh, man, I don't know, like, I, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tap

[30:24] out.

[30:25] I don't know.

[30:26] Uh, Elliot, do you have a steal?

[30:28] Man, can you show me Delgo?

[30:30] That is Delgo.

[30:31] Goddammit.

[30:32] Uh.

[30:33] Didn't I spend most of that movie, like, face down on your floor?

[30:38] I think you did.

[30:39] I mean, it's been so many times at this point.

[30:43] It was very bad.

[30:44] Yeah, that was, uh, one of our early real stinkers.

[30:48] That was, uh, episode 50, kind of a miserable experience.

[30:53] You put that in the vault labeled real R-E-E-L stinkers with a Z at the end.

[30:59] So, uh, Elliot, this next one for you, um, in an attempt to save his marriage, a firefighter

[31:07] uses a 40-day experiment known as the Love Dare.

[31:13] Was that fireproof?

[31:15] That is fireproof.

[31:16] Dammit.

[31:17] Uh, yeah.

[31:18] Wow, Elliot.

[31:19] That's the one where Cameron is addicted to internet porn, right?

[31:21] Uh-huh.

[31:23] I think you're having the same thing that I had, which is, like, weirdly, the stuff

[31:27] further away I remember better because, like, we hadn't been so ground down by doing this.

[31:33] Whereas, something like, like, the Quiet Ones, I'm like, I don't know, man.

[31:38] And that was still, like, what, six years ago?

[31:39] But still, you know?

[31:40] Yeah.

[31:41] But if you asked me what the, what the episode before last was, I'd be like, oh, oh, cats.

[31:48] All right.

[31:49] So, back to Stuart.

[31:50] This is your last question of the game.

[31:52] Last chance to get on the scoreboard before the final round.

[31:56] Mm-hmm.

[31:57] No.

[31:58] No.

[31:59] And remember, Stu, you still have a hint.

[32:01] Before the super extreme final round.

[32:05] This is the, whew, okay, uh, Stuart.

[32:08] A depressed woman.

[32:09] And after this comes the lightning round.

[32:11] A depressed woman learns that her husband was killed in a car accident the previous

[32:17] day.

[32:18] Shit.

[32:19] Then awakens the next morning to find him alive and well at home.

[32:23] Then awakens the day after that to find he's dead.

[32:27] What was that movie called?

[32:28] Ugh.

[32:29] No.

[32:30] Oh, no.

[32:31] No.

[32:32] No.

[32:33] No.

[32:34] Oh, no.

[32:35] I'm so glad Stuart got this one.

[32:36] Oh, no.

[32:37] It's really hurting him.

[32:38] Wow.

[32:39] No.

[32:40] Oh, no.

[32:41] Oh, no.

[32:42] Oh, no.

[32:43] Oh, no.

[32:44] Oh, no.

[32:45] Oh, no.

[32:46] Oh, no.

[32:47] Oh, no.

[32:53] You got this one Stu.

[32:56] It's a common word.

[32:57] A word you might use every day.

[32:59] It's not that common.

[33:00] Remember, you still got it, you've still got a hint.

[33:01] You've still got a hint.

[33:02] I'm gonna use my hint Dan.

[33:04] No, you don't have a hint anymore.

[33:06] And it wouldn't help you.

[33:07] Oh, no.

[33:08] It wouldn't help you?

[33:10] What kind of a hint is that?

[33:14] I feel like if he doesn't have it, he's not gonna get this one.

[33:17] Show me memories of murder.

[33:22] No, not that classic.

[33:25] Although that title does seem like it would fit the plot, I guess.

[33:28] Yeah.

[33:29] Ali, do you have a steal on this one?

[33:31] I think I still have a hint left in this round, right?

[33:34] Yeah.

[33:35] Give me this hint that's not gonna help.

[33:37] Yeah, well, there's the last question, Dan.

[33:39] So, yeah, I'm gonna use the hint.

[33:40] What am I saving it for?

[33:41] Well, maybe, yeah.

[33:42] Maybe this will help, actually.

[33:43] I can't cash it in for an item of equal or lesser value.

[33:47] Star Sandra Bullock helped this movie actually make around $80 million on a $20 million budget.

[33:53] So, not really a flop.

[33:55] Is it Premonition?

[33:57] It is called Premonition.

[33:58] Jesus Christ.

[34:00] That was a very helpful hint.

[34:02] Like, Dan, you said this is a normal word, you might have used it today.

[34:05] And the answer was Premonition.

[34:10] I did go to Coney Island today, so there's a chance.

[34:14] Sure it was.

[34:15] He was in part of a brainstorming group thinking up perfume names today, so he might have used Premonition, yeah.

[34:21] So, all right.

[34:23] Final question of the entire game.

[34:26] This one goes to Elliot first.

[34:29] A wealthy young man undergoing heart transplant surgery discovers that the surgical team intend to murder him.

[34:38] I believe that's Awake.

[34:40] That is Awake.

[34:41] Wow, Elliot, you almost swept the –

[34:43] Real quick, real quick.

[34:44] Wow.

[34:46] Is it possible for me to win the game still?

[34:49] No, it's not possible.

[34:51] No, Stuart.

[34:52] Okay, so this is when the final round comes up.

[34:54] Dan hasn't told us about it yet.

[34:56] No, no.

[34:57] And it's called All the Marbles.

[34:59] Oh, he is going to – yeah, yeah, yeah.

[35:01] If I was a good game master, I would have an All the Marbles round, but all I have –

[35:05] You'd have your golden quench or whatever it is from Quidditch where they're like, you can score the regular points or just catch this thing and win instantly.

[35:13] I don't know.

[35:14] What are you going to do?

[35:16] Yeah.

[35:17] So Elliot wins with seven to Stuart's two, and honestly, I think I would do more like Stuart if I had to take this quiz.

[35:30] Look, Stuart, just to get on the show is an impressive feat.

[35:33] Yeah, I know.

[35:34] Just to get past all the rounds of testing.

[35:36] Dan, thanks for making a great game, reminding me of how much time I've wasted watching stupid movies and then retaining some knowledge of them in my brain.

[35:45] That's the real question.

[35:46] Why am I doing that?

[35:48] I mean I guess I'm impressed because at least the first half of the – I mean the later – the earlier movies we watched, I was so fucking drunk.

[35:58] Like all that stuff is a smear across the pavement of my brain.

[36:04] Yeah.

[36:05] Yeah.

[36:06] Yeah, Dan's room used to – his living room used to be littered with bottle caps and chicken bones by the end of a usual viewing session.

[36:14] Yeah, it was a magical time.

[36:17] Yeah.

[36:20] Well, thank you, listeners, for taking this magical – again, I reuse the word – trip down memory lane.

[36:29] Yeah, and if for whatever reason you feel like I was robbed or the game was rigged against me, you should write in.

[36:35] Let Dan know that his game needed a lightning round at the end.

[36:39] Try and catch me, coppers.

[36:42] Oh, wow.

[36:43] Oh, wow.

[36:44] Dan had a little car ready.

[36:46] He's driving away.

[36:47] He's going down the street.

[36:48] Oh, wait.

[36:49] He's turning around.

[36:50] He gets out.

[36:51] He's doing a dance.

[36:52] He got out and is doing a dance.

[36:53] Yeah, he's doing a lot of dabbing, a lot of dabbing and a lot of dancing.

[36:56] Oh, wow.

[36:57] He's shining him on.

[36:58] Okay, I get it.

[36:59] Yeah.

[37:00] He doesn't understand.

[37:01] That's only going to make them more willing to catch him.

[37:04] They'll put in overtime.

[37:06] Where's the confetti coming from?

[37:08] Did he set up those confetti cannons ahead of time because I can't see where it's falling from.

[37:11] Yeah, I think he knew I was going to catch him.

[37:13] Yeah.

[37:14] Well, let's get us all out of here.

[37:16] I want to thank you to Alex Smith, our producer, for doing such a wonderful job making us sound good, I hope.

[37:24] And I haven't heard it yet.

[37:28] Who knows?

[37:30] And then he puts a filter on, so we're all like, welcome to the Fluff House.

[37:34] I'm Dan Moore.

[37:35] That actually sounds pretty cool.

[37:36] He makes us sound real good.

[37:37] Yeah.

[37:38] It's the Stewart filter.

[37:40] Why don't you check out MaximumFun.org for other podcasts.

[37:44] If you listen to this one, you might like others, and there's a lot of good ones over there.

[37:49] Ones that are organized and funny and informative.

[37:53] I was very organized.

[37:55] I had a spreadsheet.

[37:57] I had rules.

[37:58] I mean, you're not the disorganized part of this episode, Dan.

[38:02] No, no.

[38:03] I do like that Dan puts much more organization into the minis than he does into the regular eps, but that's okay.

[38:08] Somebody has to.

[38:09] Yeah, yeah.

[38:11] Thanks for listening.

[38:12] If you enjoy the show, spread the word.

[38:14] But for now, I've been Dan McCoy.

[38:17] Hey, it's me, Stewart Wellington, and I'm going to win next time.

[38:21] I promise.

[38:22] And it's me, Elliot Memory Man Kalen, champion and returning champion, if this ever happens again, of Muflopoli.

[38:29] That's right.

[38:30] It's the game all America is playing if you are a co-host of this show.

[38:35] Are they litigious?

[38:37] What is that, Milton Bradley?

[38:39] I hope not.

[38:40] I hope not.
