FH Mini #28 - McCoy Boy Talking Tubi to Tu-Boy and NYU-Boy Tonight All Right

[0:00] Hey everyone and welcome to the Flophouse. I'm Dan McCoy.

Dan McCoy

[0:07] Oh hey Dan McCoy. It's me, Stuart Wellingtown.

Elliott Kalan

[0:12] And it's me, Elliot Kalin. I considered mispronouncing my own name the way Stuart did his,

[0:17] but I think I'm just going to go with the accurate translation from the ancient Greek of Elliot Kalin.

Dan McCoy

[0:24] You don't want to risk the idea of there might be someone listening for the very first time.

[0:29] If someone comes away from the show loving you, they're a big Hollywood producer,

[0:35] but they think your name is Elliot Kalin.

[0:39] I would not want that.

[0:40] And they cannot track you down after that.

[0:42] I mean, it's spelled the same.

Stuart Wellington

[0:45] Yeah, somebody might go onto Wikipedia after listening to this and be like,

[0:49] I've got to look up this Wellingtown guy and then be very disappointed.

[0:53] Unless there is a really cool Stuart Wellingtown that I'm stealing the valor of.

[0:59] We'll find out.

Dan McCoy

[1:00] So, that was unrelated to this podcast.

[1:04] This was normally a podcast that is about watching a bad movie.

[1:08] This was normally the podcast?

[1:10] Did something happen?

[1:12] Is this where you're breaking up with us, Dan?

[1:14] On most episodes, you know, even though we're going back and forth, that's still technically true,

[1:22] because there are more regular episodes of these minis than we started recently.

[1:27] On a regular episode, we talk about a bad movie that we have watched.

[1:31] But in this episode, the minis...

Elliott Kalan

[1:34] This is an irregular, irregular episode, which means that it didn't come out quite right,

[1:38] and you can get it for a lot less at the outlet store.

[1:41] Yeah, it's the first pancake.

[1:43] Yeah.

[1:43] This was inspected by number 13, and they said,

[1:46] nuh-uh, not going to the main store,

[1:48] and they threw it off the conveyor belt into a big bin that said,

[1:51] Irregulars.

[1:52] Mm-hmm.

[1:53] The point is, this is an off-week...

[1:54] Starring Sylvester Stallone.

[1:56] Really?

[1:57] As Jedediah Irregular, the leader of Irregulars.

[2:01] Does he do an accent?

[2:03] He does a heavy, heavy Irish accent, yes.

Stuart Wellington

[2:07] Interesting, okay.

[2:08] Yeah, yeah, heavy.

Dan McCoy

[2:10] Anyway, this is an off-week episode, a Flophouse Mini,

[2:14] where the only rule is, there are no rules,

[2:17] except also probably, you know, like, moral laws are still in effect.

[2:22] Don't, like, murder anyone,

[2:25] treat everyone with, you know, a respect for the common humanity,

[2:29] all that stuff, but otherwise, no rules.

[2:32] Yeah, you're covering all the bases.

[2:34] So...

Elliott Kalan

[2:35] What if that was the 11th commandment,

[2:37] thou shalt have no rules?

[2:39] Uh-huh.

[2:39] And you're like, this God is cool.

Dan McCoy

[2:41] The 11th commandment, there shalt be no wrong just right.

[2:45] Uh-huh, yep.

Elliott Kalan

[2:47] The 11th commandment, thou shalt not.

[2:49] And it's like, wait, so you're saying,

[2:51] was that your way of saying not, God?

[2:53] Mm-hmm.

[2:54] Psych?

[2:55] Yes.

[2:56] Yeah.

[2:56] It was.

[2:57] I mean, that joke is kind of,

[2:59] that reference is old, God, like it's done.

[3:01] Like, it's really tired for you to say not at the end of something.

[3:03] So listeners...

[3:04] And God's like, I am, I, all time is the same to me.

[3:07] I, I, I don't experience it the same way you do.

[3:10] For me, Wayne's World just came out.

[3:11] And I'm like, really?

[3:12] So, God, you're behind us when it comes to Mike Myers movies?

[3:15] Yeah, I cannot wait for the love guru.

[3:17] Oh, God.

[3:17] Oh, no.

[3:18] Oh, God, you devil.

[3:18] I don't want to...

Dan McCoy

[3:19] I don't want to...

[3:21] So, listeners, if you have a better way of introducing Flophouse Man,

[3:25] he's right into the Flophouse, because clearly we still don't know how to do it.

[3:31] But, you know, oftentimes these off-week episodes still have something to do with movies.

[3:35] Sometimes Stuart just reads us a story he wrote about snakes.

[3:38] Who knows?

[3:39] But this time it is a movie-related one.

[3:43] I'm, I'm challenging you to, I'm saying, would you like to play a game?

[3:48] Fuck.

[3:49] And this game is titled, To Be or Not To Be.

[3:54] Now, of course, during the streaming, during the pandemic, streaming services have had even greater importance in people's lives.

[4:04] I have explored all of the...

Elliott Kalan

[4:06] Greater than the importance they've had for centuries.

[4:09] Yep.

Dan McCoy

[4:10] I'm a traveler on the outer reaches of pain and pleasure, looking through all these streaming services, seeing what is available.

Stuart Wellington

[4:19] What movie did we use To Be for to do a movie on the podcast?

[4:24] It was the one with...

[4:25] Oh, it was The Legend of...

Elliott Kalan

[4:27] No, it was the guy...

[4:29] It was the one that...

[4:29] Deadly Lessons?

[4:31] Deadly Lessons.

[4:31] It was Deadly Lessons.

[4:33] Yeah, a very long movie.

Stuart Wellington

[4:34] Now that I've signed up for To Be and I picked Deadly Lessons as the only movie I will ever watch on To Be, it makes the multiple emails I get every day recommending things, like, it's crazy.

Dan McCoy

[4:48] Yeah, now To Be is a great repository of nonsense, but in the past I was just like, To Be, what is this off-brand, like, weird service?

[4:58] What is this?

[4:59] Like, no one uses it that I can tell, you know, like, it replaced Crackle in my mind as, like, the go-to, like, who is watching...

[5:10] But then...

Elliott Kalan

[5:10] But then you ran into an old man who said, To Be, To Be burned down 40 years ago.

Dan McCoy

[5:17] And then I realized that the version I had on my Apple TV was magic, and so I had to go back and check it out.

[5:26] Now, well, the thing is, To Be is, it actually has many fine films you can watch for free, although, as Stuart says, you will see advertisements, and if there are more popular movies, you will see more advertisements.

[5:40] But it is also the greatest repository of just nonsense trash that you will find as well, because their strategy was, okay, we cannot be Netflix.

[5:50] We don't have Netflix money.

[5:52] We're going to spend our money buying up crap in bulk, and we're going to, like, you're just going to be swimming in content.

[6:01] And so if there's anything weird you want to find, there's a chance it's going to be on To Be.

[6:06] So...

Elliott Kalan

[6:09] This reminds me of, Dan, when you, your old stand-up routine, you might just be on To Be.

[6:14] If you're a low-budget movie nobody's ever heard of, but they're probably going to watch, you might be on To Be.

[6:21] Yeah.

[6:22] Go on.

[6:22] That was when you were Jeff Fox To Be.

[6:25] That was the name of your stand-up comedy character.

[6:28] Yeah, yeah.

[6:29] So...

Stuart Wellington

[6:29] Not Jeff To Be worthy, I feel like, would be more appropriate.

Elliott Kalan

[6:34] I mean, it doesn't really scam.

[6:35] It's not the same.

[6:36] Jeff To Be worthy, maybe.

[6:37] Yeah.

[6:38] I think Jeff Fox To Be really got it across.

[6:41] It's also, Dan would sell a tube of foxes.

[6:44] That was the souvenir that he would have you sign.

[6:45] It was a tube with a real live fox in it.

Stuart Wellington

[6:48] But his whole bit is whether or not you might be on To Be.

[6:51] I feel like To Be Worthy is a name that just, it ties in with the bit, right?

Elliott Kalan

[6:57] It's a thinker.

[6:58] It's not one that you get immediately.

[7:00] It's one you have to think about a little bit.

[7:01] And Dan's audience is not a thinking audience.

Stuart Wellington

[7:03] I guess that's why you guys are the professionals.

[7:05] And I'm just, you know, this amateur bartender, podcaster, non-comedy writer.

[7:12] You know what I mean?

[7:12] That's why.

[7:12] And also the period...

[7:13] You're a tube man.

Elliott Kalan

[7:15] You are tube...

[7:15] You should know.

[7:16] You're a tube man.

[7:16] I'm a professional also because of the period where I was kind of like protecting slash

[7:21] assassin mentoring a young Natalie Portman.

[7:23] Okay.

[7:24] Sure.

Dan McCoy

[7:24] Well, let's just get into the rules of this game.

[7:28] To Be or not To Be.

[7:30] There are 10 rounds, so let's not dawdle.

Elliott Kalan

[7:33] Oh, boy.

[7:33] If I had known that, I would have stopped making the jokes a long time ago.

[7:37] The Jeff Fox To Be jokes would not have come out if I knew there were 10 rounds to get

[7:41] through.

Dan McCoy

[7:42] You've got to open with that, Dan.

[7:43] They should be short rounds.

[7:45] I'm going to read...

Stuart Wellington

[7:46] Once again, the name of the game is To Be or Not To Be from the Book of Saw, right?

[7:52] Yeah, exactly.

Dan McCoy

[7:54] So here's how it will go.

[7:56] I'm going to read out three titles.

[7:59] Okay.

[8:00] You guys are each going to put in a vote for what you think is the movie that is on To Be.

[8:07] There's one movie that is a real movie on To Be.

[8:10] There are two options that are things that I just made up.

[8:15] To Be options?

[8:16] Out of my own.

Elliott Kalan

[8:17] So you have one To Be movie and two faux To Be movies.

[8:20] Faux To Be.

Dan McCoy

[8:21] That's the perfect way of saying it.

[8:25] And so I'll just have you each enter your votes in beforehand.

[8:30] To be fair, you can vote for the same thing.

[8:32] It's fine.

[8:33] But we'll see who's...

[8:34] Thank you.

[8:35] Thanks, Professor.

[8:36] Thanks, Dad.

[8:37] Look, it's my game.

[8:40] You're objecting to the idea that I'm explaining the rules.

[8:43] Thanks for telling me what I can and can't vote for, Dr. Fuhrer.

[8:45] I appreciate it.

[8:47] Okay.

Stuart Wellington

[8:48] Anyway.

[8:48] Do you want us to text us your...

[8:50] Should we text you our answers?

[8:51] What's going on?

Elliott Kalan

[8:52] I think you can just say it.

[8:53] Do we need to write it down on a piece of paper and then put the paper on our forehead

[8:56] so we can't see our answer?

Dan McCoy

[8:57] It's honor system.

[8:59] Honor system.

[9:00] Okay.

[9:00] Honor system.

[9:01] Okay.

[9:01] I will believe...

Elliott Kalan

[9:02] So I don't need to tie it to the leg of this raven and send it to you.

[9:06] No.

Dan McCoy

[9:06] Yeah.

[9:07] I mean, look, if you want to change your goddamn answer because the other person's answer,

[9:11] go right ahead.

[9:12] I don't care.

[9:13] It's a dumb podcast game called To Be or Not To Be.

[9:16] We haven't even started playing it.

Elliott Kalan

[9:18] Dan's already mad at us.

[9:19] I'm already abandoning my own premise.

Dan McCoy

[9:21] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[9:22] So first...

[9:23] That's what they said at the end of There Will Be Blood.

[9:24] He goes, I abandoned my premise.

[9:27] Give me the blood.

Dan McCoy

[9:28] I abandoned my premise.

[9:29] I abandoned my premise.

[9:30] Now I'm a spaceman.

[9:32] Get me an astronaut costume.

Elliott Kalan

[9:35] I ruin your podcast bit.

[9:37] That's what he says at the end.

Dan McCoy

[9:40] Okay.

[9:40] Round one.

[9:42] I'll give you three titles.

[9:43] Only one is correct as a 2B movie you could watch tonight if you chose.

[9:49] I will.

[9:50] Okay.

[9:51] Title one.

[9:53] Stalking Strangler 3.

[9:55] The Pantyhose Pervert.

[9:58] Title two.

[10:00] Clifford's Bottom.

[10:04] And thirdly, Eating Out Two.

[10:08] Sloppy Seconds.

[10:10] So we've got Stalking Strangler 3.

[10:12] The Pantyhose Pervert.

[10:15] And Eating Out Two.

[10:17] Which is the 2B movie.

[10:19] Elliot, I'll ask you first this time.

Elliott Kalan

[10:22] Now I feel like it, I don't think it's the first one because it feels like that subtitle would come earlier than number three in the series.

[10:30] Clifford's Bottom, that's a legal issue unless it literally is about a proctological exam for a big red dog.

[10:39] I don't think they would try for that.

[10:40] So I'm going to go with number three.

[10:43] Eating, what is it?

[10:43] Eating Out Two.

[10:45] Which I don't want to know what it's about.

[10:46] Do not tell me.

[10:47] Eating Out Two.

[10:48] Stuart?

Stuart Wellington

[10:49] I also selected number three as I carefully hid my selection behind my hand.

[10:57] There's no way I could have faked that.

[10:59] No way.

[10:59] No sleight of hand here.

[11:00] Impossible to.

[11:01] Because if this is a fake made-up thing, it just makes me wonder why you'd be wasting such gold on our dumb podcast and not pitching a sequel to the hit film Eating Out One.

Dan McCoy

[11:15] Well, you are both tube spurts because...

[11:18] Ew.

[11:20] I don't like that at all.

[11:22] Give it to me.

[11:22] Eating Out Two Sloppy Seconds, is it?

[11:25] I'm sorry, Elliot.

[11:26] I will not be honoring your request to not know what the movie is.

[11:30] I will be explaining the winners in each category, or the real ones in each category, not winners.

Stuart Wellington

[11:35] And real quick, because we're both tube spurts, tube squirts, tube spurts.

[11:41] Jordan, can you just throw in the tube spurt sound effect in there for us to celebrate too?

[11:45] Yeah, yeah, the spurting tube sound effect.

[11:46] Oh!

Dan McCoy

[11:47] Oh, God.

[11:48] Okay.

[11:48] Well, Eating Out Two Sloppy Seconds.

[11:50] That's from 2006.

[11:52] And in Eating Out...

[11:54] Oh, it's 15th anniversary this year.

[11:57] Yep.

[11:57] In Eating Out, Kyle convinced his straight roommate to pretend to be gay to get the girl.

[12:02] Now, with the help of Gwen and Tiffany, Kyle pretends to be heterosexual to land Troy, the new guy and nude model in town.

[12:10] Kyle's ex-boyfriend, Mark, is horrified at the plan and just decides to pursue Troy with his own tactic, being his out gay self.

[12:18] So, I think there's a good lesson at the end of Eating Out Two Sloppy Seconds.

[12:23] Uh-huh.

[12:24] It is there.

[12:26] About being true to yourself.

[12:27] Now, round two.

[12:31] I have three titles here.

[12:33] We've got Police Woman Centerfold.

[12:37] We've got Funky Frankenstein.

[12:41] And we have Professor Crispy.

[12:46] So, Police Woman Centerfold, Funky Frankenstein, and Professor Crispy.

[12:52] I'm going to go to Stuart first.

[12:55] What does he got?

Stuart Wellington

[12:56] Reveal your number.

[12:57] I would say number one.

[12:58] Because I feel like if Dan McCoy was scanning possible titles to put into the podcast, Police Woman Centerfold would immediately lodge itself in your brain.

[13:09] And no matter how much time you would spend trying not to think of the phrase Police Woman Centerfold, you would keep thinking about it.

[13:16] You would, like, catch yourself, like, scrawling it on a piece of paper or accidentally typing it into your phone.

Dan McCoy

[13:23] Yeah, writing it out 23 times, the number 23.

[13:27] Yeah.

[13:27] It's a real Slenderman type thing.

[13:29] Elliot, what do you have?

Elliott Kalan

[13:30] I'm going to go with two, Funky Frankenstein.

[13:33] Partly because I don't remember what the third one was because as soon as I heard Funky Frankenstein, I stopped listening.

[13:38] And also because I think Police Woman Centerfold was actually you reading your search history and thinking it was a Tubi title.

[13:44] So, Funky Frankenstein, the movie I want to see.

Dan McCoy

[13:48] Well, I will say first to both of you, good job avoiding Professor Crispy.

[13:54] That is one of Ben's nicknames on the Blank Check podcast.

[13:58] Oh, okay.

[13:59] Where, you know, we enjoy their work.

[14:02] It's a little deep cut for all the blankies.

Elliott Kalan

[14:04] I would have noticed that if I had listened past Funky Frankenstein.

Dan McCoy

[14:08] Funky Frankenstein, unfortunately, not real.

Elliott Kalan

[14:11] Don't ruin, no, don't, don't tell me that.

[14:14] It's not a world I want to live in.

[14:15] This is the worst of all possible worlds.

[14:17] Why don't you write it, Elliot?

Dan McCoy

[14:18] I mean, I mean, it, you know what?

[14:20] It may be real, honestly.

[14:21] It just isn't something that was on Tubi.

[14:23] Let me Google Funky Frankenstein.

Elliott Kalan

[14:25] I mean, they should have called it Funky Frankenstein if they were actually going to make that move.

[14:29] That's true.

Dan McCoy

[14:30] Professor Funky Frankenstein.

[14:32] Professor.

[14:33] He's a doctor, Dan.

[14:34] He has a doctorate.

[14:36] The Police Woman Centerfold.

[14:37] Frankly Funky Frankenstein.

[14:39] Yeah.

[14:39] Is the correct one, Stuart?

[14:40] It's a television movie, actually, from 19...

[14:42] So wait, does that make me a tube spurt?

Elliott Kalan

[14:45] You're a tube spurt.

[14:46] Play the sound effect, Jordan.

[14:48] Throw that tube spurt sound effect in.

[14:49] Welcome to Jurassic Park.

Dan McCoy

[14:53] Make it gushy.

[14:54] No.

[14:56] Oh, gross.

[14:57] This is from 1983.

[14:59] You took us here, Dan.

[15:01] I did not take us to this particular place.

[15:05] I made an in-passing ill choice of words.

Elliott Kalan

[15:09] This is a real Samuel Morse moment.

Dan McCoy

[15:12] What hath God wrought indeed?

[15:15] Police Woman Centerfold is from 1983, a television movie.

[15:18] A recently divorced policewoman loses her job after she posed naked in a magazine centerfold based on a true story.

[15:25] A sad tale of, you know, fruitishness.

Elliott Kalan

[15:31] Yeah, something similar actually happened in my hometown, now that I think about it.

Dan McCoy

[15:35] Let's see.

[15:36] What do we got here?

[15:37] Okay, so to recap, Stuart has two.

[15:40] Elliot has one.

[15:41] We are...

[15:42] He's got two tubes and I got one tube.

[15:44] Mm-hmm.

[15:45] And, okay, number three.

[15:47] Here are the titles.

[15:49] We got Rumpelstiltskill.

[15:53] We've got The Balloon Murders.

[15:57] And Cupid's Guillotine.

[16:02] Stiltskill, The Balloon Murders, and Cupid's Guillotine.

[16:11] So, okay, I'll go back to Elliot for the first one.

[16:15] What do you got?

Elliott Kalan

[16:16] I'm going to say Rumpelstiltskill.

[16:18] Mm-hmm.

Stuart Wellington

[16:19] Okay, and Stuart?

[16:21] I think Elliot's on to something here.

[16:24] Rumpelstiltskill sounds...

[16:25] Not only does it sound terrifying, but it sounds like...

[16:28] You know?

[16:32] But it certainly sounds like something that I would see in the video store and I'd be like,

[16:37] oh, fuck, I haven't watched this one yet.

[16:39] Yeah.

[16:40] What do I got to do?

Dan McCoy

[16:41] I guess the curse that was put on me by the sea witch would...

Stuart Wellington

[16:45] I saw a stilt skin.

[16:48] Is this...

[16:49] No, this is Rumpelstiltskill, so this is a different movie.

[16:52] Rumpelstiltskill.

Elliott Kalan

[16:53] And the tagline is he turns straw into death.

[16:56] Yeah.

[16:56] I think we got to...

[16:57] Yeah, we got to rent this one.

Stuart Wellington

[16:58] I mean, it's sloppy, but I'll...

[16:58] Yeah, it's kind of labored, but I'll deal with it.

Elliott Kalan

[17:01] I'm afraid that I'm...

[17:03] I mean, what else is there about Rumpelstiltskill?

Dan McCoy

[17:05] This is another case I guess I'm giving away gold that I've spun from the straw of Rumpelstiltskin.

[17:12] Rumpelstiltskill, to my knowledge, is not a thing.

[17:15] The Balloon Murders is not a thing.

[17:17] The actual movie is Cupid's Guillotine.

[17:20] Really?

[17:21] Really?

[17:21] What could that...

Stuart Wellington

[17:21] And tell us what that's about.

[17:22] That sounds like my finisher if I was a wrestler.

[17:27] Yeah, where you kiss someone so hard their head comes off.

[17:30] Exactly.

[17:32] You would be an amazing hype man for my new wrestling career, by the way.

Elliott Kalan

[17:36] Let's work on it.

Stuart Wellington

[17:37] Obviously, you see me and you're like, obvious baby face, but no, I'm a heel.

Elliott Kalan

[17:41] No, no, no.

[17:42] You're a heel that seems like a baby face.

[17:44] That's the thing.

[17:45] Everyone thinks you're a baby face until you finish them.

[17:47] Yeah.

[17:47] Uh-huh.

Stuart Wellington

[17:48] Yeah.

[17:48] And then their head goes off after I kiss them too hard.

[17:51] And their head flies off.

[17:52] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[17:52] And it's hard to do that live in the ring without actually murdering your opponent, but we'll

[17:58] figure it out.

[17:58] Yeah.

Stuart Wellington

[17:58] And there's, weirdly enough, no contact.

[18:00] It's a blown kiss.

Elliott Kalan

[18:04] Wow.

[18:04] I mean, that should be, your finishing move is that you blow a kiss and they just get

[18:07] knocked over.

[18:09] And then the, yeah.

[18:09] Yeah.

[18:10] That's Cupid's Guillotine.

[18:11] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[18:11] Cupid's Guillotine, that's from 2017, so relatively recent.

[18:15] A couple's love is put to the ultimate test by a haunted house attraction that seems to have

[18:20] a mind of its own.

[18:22] I looked up the...

[18:24] Wait, so the haunted house attraction is testing their love, so is it seducing one of them?

[18:28] I don't...

[18:28] You know, I have not seen Cupid's Guillotine.

[18:31] I did cursory internet research, enough to know that this is from the director of Drown

[18:37] the Clown.

[18:38] So Cupid's Guillotine...

[18:40] Oh, oh, I'm sure.

[18:41] The sookers for no one.

[18:42] If you enjoyed Drown the Clown, then...

Elliott Kalan

[18:46] Yeah, I like that you said that as if I'd be like, oh.

[18:49] Yeah, right, right, right, right.

[18:50] This was his earlier work, I suppose.

[18:52] Okay, so...

[18:53] Before Drown the Clown took the Grand Prix.

Dan McCoy

[18:57] The Palm Door.

[18:58] So, time for round four.

[19:00] Here's some titles for you.

[19:02] We got Skeet Humping.

[19:05] Skeet Humping.

[19:07] That Skeet O'Rex documentary?

[19:09] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[19:09] Yeah, not Ski Humping.

[19:11] Skeet.

Dan McCoy

[19:12] Like Skeet Shooting.

[19:16] Quinoa, the Mother Grain.

[19:18] And Soren Fleetfoot and the Dragons of Dragonia.

[19:26] Keet Humping.

[19:27] The questions are written.

[19:33] The rounds are getting harder as they go.

Elliott Kalan

[19:34] Dan, my hat's off to you.

[19:36] Thank you.

[19:38] Let's see.

[19:39] I'd tip my hat to you, but I haven't got a hat.

[19:41] Let's see.

[19:43] And you go to Stuart first, right?

[19:44] Wait, let me choose my...

[19:45] Let me pick mine.

Dan McCoy

[19:46] Sure.

[19:47] We'll go to Stuart.

[19:48] You can still...

Elliott Kalan

[19:48] Because I went first last time, I think, right?

[19:51] With Rumpelstiltskill.

[19:51] I believe that is true.

[19:53] I'm just trying to impose order on the chaos of Tubi.

Stuart Wellington

[19:55] I'm going to say number two.

[19:56] I think it's Quinoa, the Mother Grain.

[19:59] It sounds a little dry.

[20:00] Just like Quinoa.

[20:01] Whoa!

Elliott Kalan

[20:03] Take that, Mother Grain.

[20:06] I was thinking two, but now I'm going to say three, just for variety.

Stuart Wellington

[20:10] I mean, three is the one I want to see.

[20:14] But I think it's...

[20:15] I think, if I recall, that movie's a little too big for Tubi.

[20:19] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[20:21] Well, Stuart...

[20:22] When they say it's not TV, it's HBO, they all say it's not TV, it's Tubi, but they mean

[20:27] in the other direction.

[20:27] Yeah.

[20:28] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[20:29] So, Stuart, you are correct.

[20:33] Quinoa, the Mother Grain, is on Tubi.

[20:34] Not everything on Tubi is a film.

Elliott Kalan

[20:37] Tube spurt!

[20:38] This one...

[20:39] Stuart, you're right.

[20:40] They should call you Tube-cert, not Stuart.

Dan McCoy

[20:43] Tuber.

[20:45] This one is not feature length.

[20:46] This is 34 minutes.

[20:48] It's from 2014.

[20:50] As the consumption of quinoa rises internationally, the Mother Grain looks at how this increasing

[20:56] demand is affecting quinoa farmers.

Stuart Wellington

[21:00] Weirdly enough, hosted by Mother Brain from Metroid.

Dan McCoy

[21:03] Really?

[21:05] Yeah.

[21:05] Mother Brain on Mother Grain.

[21:10] Okay.

[21:11] And then you throw Mama from the train.

[21:12] Mm-hmm.

[21:15] And then you get on the floor and walk the dinosaur.

[21:19] Oh, stop telling me what to do.

[21:24] Okay.

[21:28] All right.

[21:29] Round the fifth.

[21:31] This will be the halfway round.

[21:33] Oh, my God.

Elliott Kalan

[21:33] And I'm losing ground to make up distance.

[21:36] It's true.

[21:36] The steward is up by two, I think.

[21:38] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[21:38] Stewart has three.

[21:39] Elliot has one.

[21:41] But it could all change.

[21:42] Oh, I won.

[21:43] Oh, thank you.

[21:43] The game's over.

[21:44] The next titles are Fangs for Everything.

[21:49] Fangs for Everything.

[21:51] I'm not falling for this one again.

[21:53] Revenge is a Dish Best Served Dead.

[21:57] Or Mission Kill Fast.

[22:03] Revenge is a Dish Best Served Dead.

[22:06] Or Mission Kill Fast.

Stuart Wellington

[22:10] Those all sound like different sequels in a vampire series.

Dan McCoy

[22:14] Yeah.

[22:15] I can't remember who goes first.

[22:17] Whoever goes first, just say.

[22:18] Elliot gets a go.

Elliott Kalan

[22:19] Yeah.

[22:19] I'll say the first one.

[22:20] I wasn't going to go for the monster one.

[22:23] But I'm going to...

[22:24] At Mission Kill Fast and the second one, one of them's probably real.

[22:28] But I do not want to live in a world where they're real.

Stuart Wellington

[22:30] I agree with Elliot.

[22:31] I think he's on to something.

[22:33] Fangs for the memories?

[22:35] What's it called?

[22:36] Fangs for Everything?

Elliott Kalan

[22:37] It's called Fangsgiving.

[22:39] It's actually a story about a vampire family coming together for the holiday.

[22:42] Again, great stuff.

Dan McCoy

[22:44] Let me look at it.

[22:45] Let me Google it so we can TM it.

[22:49] Fangsgiving.

[22:50] Now, Thanksgiving, there's a book called Fangsgiving for Children.

Elliott Kalan

[22:57] Oh, I should have thought of that first.

[22:59] Okay, so Fangs for Everything, is that the right one?

Dan McCoy

[23:02] No, the correct one is Mission colon Kill Fast.

[23:05] And Kill Fast is all one word, actually.

[23:08] Of course it is.

[23:09] It makes no sense as two words.

[23:11] 1991, the description I found,

[23:15] from Astro Zombies director Ted V. Mickles.

[23:18] The 30th anniversary.

[23:19] From Astro Zombies director Ted V. Mickles comes this adrenalized tale

[23:24] of a high-kicking CIA agent, vengeful Las Vegas gangsters,

[23:30] unhinged armed dealers, terrorists with nuclear weapons,

[23:33] explosions, and bikini-clad beauties.

Stuart Wellington

[23:37] Unhinged gangsters?

[23:38] So wait, they're all Russell Crowe driving trucks around?

Dan McCoy

[23:41] Oh.

[23:41] I'll believe it when I see it.

[23:43] Well, that's the midpoint of the game,

[23:48] which means it's time to thank our sponsor, Libby.

[23:52] The Flophouse is supported in part by Libby.

[23:56] Libby is a free reading app created by Overdrive

[23:59] that lets you borrow e-books and audio books from your library

[24:02] on your phone, tablets, Kindle, or computers.

[24:05] All you need is a valid library card from your library.

[24:08] Even if you don't have a library card currently,

[24:10] you can read samples of any book you see,

[24:13] and Libby works just like your physical library.

[24:15] You simply borrow available books you want to read,

[24:18] and then they return themselves automatically

[24:20] after your loan expires.

[24:23] Download Libby in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

[24:26] to start borrowing and sampling e-books and audio books today.

[24:31] What a great option instead of watching Tubby all day

[24:36] and rotting your brain.

Elliott Kalan

[24:38] Between Tubby and Libby, I'd say go with Libby.

[24:41] I've talked on the podcast before

[24:42] about how my family uses Libby quite a bit.

[24:45] It works really well.

Stuart Wellington

[24:46] What have you been reading lately?

Elliott Kalan

[24:47] A bunch of different things.

[24:49] The Oz books they have on audio books.

[24:53] Novelization based on the TV show?

[24:55] Yeah, yeah.

[24:55] It's all the adaptations of the TV show Oz.

[24:58] My two-year-old loves those.

[25:01] And they've got picture books.

[25:02] They've got lots of stuff.

[25:04] What have you been reading, Dan?

Dan McCoy

[25:06] In general?

[25:07] I'm reading a book.

[25:09] This is going to sound like so on the nose to be self-parody.

[25:14] I've been reading a book about the history of vaudeville.

Stuart Wellington

[25:18] Okay.

[25:19] Elliot, I cut you off.

[25:20] What's Danielle reading?

Elliott Kalan

[25:21] No, no.

[25:22] I'm just saying, being a librarian, she uses Libby a lot.

[25:25] It's a great way to get books that you may not be able to get a physical copy of right away.

[25:31] You can get them very quickly, e-book or audio book.

[25:35] Libby!

Dan McCoy

[25:35] I like that Stuart wouldn't even engage with that.

[25:38] Even on the level of it being funny that I was reading that, he's like, okay, can't take it.

[25:43] It's breaking my heart.

[25:44] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[25:45] And Stuart, what are you reading?

[25:47] I know you're just asking that, so we would ask you what you're reading right now.

Stuart Wellington

[25:49] I'm about halfway through Crazy from the Heat, the David Lee Roth autobiography.

[25:54] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[25:55] And for the record, I'm currently reading How Much These Hills Is Gold, the novel about two kids in the Old West.

[26:01] Well, that sounds good.

[26:02] Yeah.

[26:03] It's a grim book.

[26:04] Super grim.

Stuart Wellington

[26:05] Does it read like the ravings of a cocaine-fueled maniac, allegedly?

Elliott Kalan

[26:09] No.

[26:10] Not in this case, no.

[26:12] Mr. Robot Man, what are you doing?

S4

[26:14] I'm just taking one last look at my co-workers.

[26:19] Every journey comes to an end.

[26:23] Remember, Plec, the space will be with you always.

[26:28] Sorry, who are you again?

[26:30] Master Key around there.

Stuart Wellington

[26:31] Oh, right, right, right.

[26:32] Sorry.

[26:32] Just calling in.

S4

[26:34] The ships will be tested.

S5

[26:36] Doh, you have to do it.

[26:38] You have to shoot Plec.

[26:40] Okay.

[26:41] If you're all going to save us.

S4

[26:42] Wow, you shot him so fast.

[26:44] Destinies will be fulfilled.

S5

[26:46] I've become a complete bird.

[26:50] I'm flying.

[26:51] I'm flying.

S4

[26:53] On April 28th, the saga starts concluding.

[26:59] Guys, we don't have a choice.

[27:02] We have to put on a show.

Dan McCoy

[27:03] We can do it in the old barn.

[27:05] We've got the costumes.

[27:06] We've got a stage.

[27:07] We can do it, you guys.

S4

[27:08] Mission to Zix.

[27:11] The final season on Maximum Fun.

S5

[27:19] MaxFun Drive's almost here.

[27:20] It starts on Monday, May 3rd, ends on May 14th, and it's the best time to support the shows you love.

[27:26] Here are some folks like you sharing what MaxFun and our shows mean to them.

[27:30] Most importantly, it's meant community.

Dan McCoy

[27:33] And, uh, yeah.

[27:35] Just thanks for hanging out and making joke them up and making my week a little bit brighter.

S5

[27:39] So, thanks, MaxFun Fun for making me a better person and making sure that I'm surrounded by better people.

Elliott Kalan

[27:51] Thanks again for all you do.

[27:52] Love supporting MaxFun.

[27:53] And, uh, keep it up.

S5

[27:55] Come back Monday, May 3rd for more details from your favorite hosts.

[27:58] We'll have some of the best episodes of the year, special MaxFun Drive thank you gifts, and maybe a few surprises.

[28:04] That's Monday, May 3rd.

[28:06] Until then.

Dan McCoy

[28:10] Uh, okay, so at the midway point, Elliot has one point, Stuart has three.

[28:16] There are five points up for grabs still.

[28:20] Yeah.

[28:21] Uh.

Elliott Kalan

[28:22] Still enough for me to win, but I'm gonna have to get all of them.

Dan McCoy

[28:24] Cash on the table.

[28:25] So, here we go.

[28:27] We got.

[28:27] Maybe just four of them.

[28:29] Bermuda Tentacles, No Pants President's Day, and Huckleberry and Goober.

[28:37] Bermuda Tentacles, No Pants President's Day, and Huckleberry and Goober.

[28:43] Which one of these could you watch on Tubi tonight?

Elliott Kalan

[28:48] Should you feel damned?

[28:49] Should you.

[28:52] Should you.

[28:53] Should you.

Dan McCoy

[28:54] Solve the puzzle box that has been handed to you.

Stuart Wellington

[29:01] Number one, I'm saying Bermuda Tentacles.

[29:04] Yes.

[29:05] Drag me down.

Elliott Kalan

[29:05] Let's read, I'll say Huckleberry and, what was it, Gooby?

[29:09] Goober?

Dan McCoy

[29:10] Goober.

[29:11] Uh, much as I would love Huckleberry and Goober to be the one, it is Bermuda Tentacles from

[29:15] 2014.

[29:17] Also known as Dark Rising.

[29:20] When Air Force One goes down over the Bermuda Triangle, the Navy sends its best rescue team.

[29:26] But in saving the president.

Elliott Kalan

[29:27] If you had said Dark Rising, I definitely would have chosen that one.

Dan McCoy

[29:29] That's a movie title.

[29:30] The monster, which threatens America's entire eastern seaboard and ultimately the world.

[29:35] It's under Bermuda Tentacles in Tubi.

[29:39] It might have an AKA, but in Tubi, they go for the Zazz.

Elliott Kalan

[29:45] That's not even a good way.

[29:47] It's not even a good way to describe that.

[29:49] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[29:49] Yeah.

[29:50] But I hear...

Elliott Kalan

[29:50] Is it supposed to be a good play on Bermuda Triangle?

[29:53] Then make it Bermuda Tentacle, not Tentacles.

Dan McCoy

[29:56] But Elliot, if you had a choice between seeing a movie called Bermuda Tentacles and one called

[30:00] Dark Rising, which one would you pick?

Elliott Kalan

[30:03] Well, I know that...

[30:05] No contest, my friend.

[30:06] Probably.

[30:07] Good point.

[30:08] I mean, I know it's the...

[30:09] That Dark Rising is not an adaptation of The Dark is Rising, because that movie was

[30:12] called The Dark is Rising.

Dan McCoy

[30:14] And it's not the movie Deep Rising, because that's spelled differently.

Elliott Kalan

[30:18] No, and it's not the movie...

[30:20] But that did have tentacles in it.

[30:23] Rising Sun, because it's called Rising Sun.

[30:24] The xenophobic movie about...

[30:26] That movie's got so many things wrong.

Stuart Wellington

[30:28] And it's not based on Raising Cain, the De Palma John Lithgow movie.

[30:34] No.

Elliott Kalan

[30:35] No, and it's not based on...

[30:36] On Raising Bran.

Stuart Wellington

[30:38] It's not based on Raising Cain's Chicken Finger fast food restaurant chain that's not

[30:43] available in New York City for some reason.

Elliott Kalan

[30:46] I assume it's not based on Everybody Loves Raymond, the hit television show which has

[30:49] been adapted all over the world.

[30:51] Uh-huh.

Dan McCoy

[30:52] Okay.

[30:52] Well, we've figured out what it isn't.

[30:54] Let's move on to the next round, see what it might be.

[30:57] We've got three titles.

[30:58] The first one, Dr. Alien.

[31:02] Secondly, Earthworms with Teeth.

[31:05] Thirdly, DTF DMV.

[31:10] Dr. Alien.

[31:13] Earthworms with Teeth.

[31:15] DTF DMV.

[31:17] Elliot, what do you got?

[31:19] Okay.

Elliott Kalan

[31:19] I'm going to be wrong, but I'm going to say Dr. Alien.

[31:22] Okay, Stuart?

Stuart Wellington

[31:23] I also said Dr. Alien mainly on the grounds that I don't want the others to exist.

Elliott Kalan

[31:28] No, I certainly don't want DTF DMV to exist.

Dan McCoy

[31:31] Well, you can rest easy tonight.

[31:35] Dr. Alien is from 1989.

[31:37] It is from our old friend David Dicoteau, who did A Talking Cat.

Elliott Kalan

[31:43] Yeah, but might have also done a movie called DTF DMV.

[31:47] I mean, that's the kind of stuff he also does.

Dan McCoy

[31:49] The plot, a sexy substitute teacher replaces a teacher who was killed by a UFO encounter,

[31:55] but her research on a nerdy student is now making him a lady magnet.

Elliott Kalan

[32:01] So it's not what I thought it would be at all.

[32:03] No.

[32:04] Yeah.

Dan McCoy

[32:05] All right, so moving on.

Stuart Wellington

[32:07] But I can't say I'm not intrigued by the premise.

Elliott Kalan

[32:11] I think I can go far enough to say that.

Stuart Wellington

[32:13] I got to say, I'm doing pretty good in the back half over here, right?

[32:17] Yeah, you're picking it up two for two.

[32:19] No, Stuart's the champion.

Elliott Kalan

[32:20] Stuart has a mind for a track.

[32:22] Well, that's the thing.

Dan McCoy

[32:22] I think that Elliot might have spent too much time watching good movies in his life.

Elliott Kalan

[32:27] Why was I watching straight time when I should have been watching other stuff?

Dan McCoy

[32:32] So next round we got...

Elliott Kalan

[32:33] Why did I watch Minari last weekend?

[32:36] What a waste of my life when I should have been watching Bermuda Tentacles.

Dan McCoy

[32:40] Okay.

[32:42] Bikini Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

[32:45] The Beard Ate His Face.

[32:48] And Celery Night Fever.

[32:52] Bikini Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

Elliott Kalan

[32:55] No, Bikini Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

[32:57] It's someone's Jewish grandma who has a shrimp company and is wearing a bikini to juice business.

Dan McCoy

[33:02] The Beard Ate His Face and Celery Night Fever.

[33:06] What are you going to go with?

[33:08] I guess it's back to Elliot, I think.

Stuart Wellington

[33:10] Am I right?

[33:11] No, I think it's Stuart.

[33:12] I'm saying number three.

[33:13] I think it is Celery Night Fever.

Elliott Kalan

[33:16] And I'm going to say number two because that's the one I want to watch.

Dan McCoy

[33:20] I would love to see The Beard Ate His Face.

[33:22] Unfortunately, it is Celery Night Fever.

[33:24] It is a Veggie Tales video.

[33:27] A 54-minute Veggie Tales from 2014.

[33:31] Veggie Pals Laura...

[33:32] Oh, seventh anniversary.

[33:34] Veggie Pals Laura Carrot and Junior Asparagus have a big job to do.

[33:39] Save their beloved Celery Park from being destroyed.

[33:42] All hope of saving the park seems lost until the group remembers that God forgives without question.

[33:47] Uh-huh.

[33:48] So why can't they do the same?

[33:50] Will the band reunite to save Celery Park?

[33:53] Find out in this groovy, music-filled Veggie Tales adventure.

Stuart Wellington

[33:57] So God forgives them for having a topless car wash to save their park?

Elliott Kalan

[34:05] I thought one of the weirdest things about Only God Forgives starring Ryan Gosling was that the Veggie Tales did show up halfway through the movie.

Dan McCoy

[34:14] Okay.

[34:14] So there's two rounds left.

[34:17] Allie, you're only playing for, you know, your own sense of...

[34:21] Just to lose less badly.

[34:22] Yeah, exactly.

[34:23] But what we got here, it's currently six to two.

[34:28] Next round, Cardigans of the Galaxy, The Brute Dispute, and Bonkster's Gross Science, Fantastic Farts.

[34:39] Cardigans of the Galaxy, The Brute Dispute, and Bonkster's Gross Science, Fantastic Farts.

[34:46] Okay, I'm going with three.

[34:48] I'm going to say The Brute Dispute.

[34:51] Allie, you picked up one over Stuart on this one.

[34:54] Oh, thank goodness.

[34:55] Bonkster's Gross Science, Fantastic Farts.

[34:57] That's from 2020, so very recent.

[34:59] Are you saying Bonkster's?

[35:02] Bonkster's Gross Science, colon, Fantastic Farts.

[35:06] Is that like what Bonk from Bonk's Adventures Friends call him?

[35:10] The Bonkster?

[35:11] Yeah, the Bonkster.

[35:13] And he's always farting, yeah.

[35:14] It's a 52-minute educational video with puppets.

[35:18] 52 minutes?

[35:19] It's like for kids.

Elliott Kalan

[35:21] No, no.

[35:21] I assumed it was a 20-minute video.

Dan McCoy

[35:24] Join Bonkster's Gross Science, two rude and crude Bog Monsters, as they explain all about

[35:30] one of their favorite subjects in the world, farts.

[35:33] Get ready for a blast of facts to make your head spin and your nose scrunch with the Bonkster's

[35:38] Fantastic Farts.

Elliott Kalan

[35:40] I need to show that to my children.

[35:42] If I show that to my children, I'll be their hero forever.

Stuart Wellington

[35:45] Yeah, yeah.

[35:45] Watch out.

[35:46] They might laugh themselves to death like some kind of weird medieval story where they, I

[35:52] don't know, kids laugh.

Elliott Kalan

[35:53] Where someone learns about farts and they laugh themselves to death?

Stuart Wellington

[35:55] Yes, exactly.

Dan McCoy

[35:56] Yeah, I think that's an original Grimm's brother's tale.

[35:59] All right.

[36:00] So we got the final round.

[36:01] Big finish.

[36:02] Okay.

[36:03] Uh-huh.

[36:04] Three titles.

[36:05] One of them's real.

[36:06] We got...

[36:06] Okay.

[36:07] Booty, Booty, Clang, Clang.

[36:10] Hmm.

[36:11] Okay.

[36:11] We have Belushi's Toilet.

[36:14] Sure.

[36:15] And we have Everybody's a Kitty Cat Nowadays.

[36:21] Belushi's Toilet.

[36:22] And Everybody's a Kitty Cat Nowadays.

[36:26] All right.

[36:27] Stuart says one.

[36:30] Elliot, what do you got?

[36:31] I'm going to say two.

[36:33] Oh, man.

[36:34] Elliot, right at the end, you come out blazing.

[36:37] Whoa.

[36:38] Belushi's Toilet is a Canadian movie from 2018 based on the web series of the same name.

[36:42] Oh, third anniversary.

[36:43] In the not-so-distant future, the war on drugs is considered a failure.

[36:48] Prohibition has ended a group of friends risk their relationships to create the perfect new drug.

[36:54] They want a new drug, one that won't make them sick.

[36:57] Something about Belushi's Toilet.

Elliott Kalan

[37:00] And so that doesn't really explain what that has to do with Belushi's Toilet.

[37:04] Oh, no.

Stuart Wellington

[37:05] Maybe that's the name of the drug.

[37:07] Oh.

[37:08] You know, something that really rolls off the tongue.

Elliott Kalan

[37:10] Yeah, I'd inject that into my veins.

[37:13] Sure.

Dan McCoy

[37:14] So, final score.

[37:15] You know, not as one-sided as it looked to be originally.

[37:18] We got six to four.

[37:21] But Stuart did ultimately prevail.

[37:23] 25 or six to four.

[37:24] Mm-hmm.

[37:25] Yep.

Stuart Wellington

[37:27] So, once again, tube spurt, sound effect, crowd cheering, everybody's excited.

Dan McCoy

[37:33] Great.

[37:34] Yep.

[37:34] We know who the real tube spurt is tonight.

[37:37] Yeah.

Elliott Kalan

[37:38] Now-

[37:38] It turns out Stu is a real tube dude, and I'm just a tube poser.

[37:42] Just a guy posing with a tube.

Dan McCoy

[37:44] He's a tube dude talking to two guys.

[37:46] All right.

[37:47] Two boy talking to me.

[37:48] That's right.

Stuart Wellington

[37:49] Two dudes.

[37:51] Tonight.

[37:52] All right.

[37:52] Tonight, all right.

[37:53] Yeah.

[37:54] That's right.

[37:55] So, Dan, how were those results?

[37:57] Did they match up with what you expected?

[38:00] Were you expecting us?

[38:02] Were you writing these down, and you're like, there's no way.

[38:04] They're going to get 10 for 10.

Dan McCoy

[38:05] You know what?

[38:05] I got to say, I don't think this is an insult to you so much as it is a testament to the weirdness

[38:17] of the stuff that is on Tubi.

[38:19] When I was writing it, I'm like, oh, they'll see through this right away.

[38:22] They'll see through my garbage.

[38:24] But it turns out that Tubi's crazy enough to make this hard.

Elliott Kalan

[38:31] There were a lot of, and there were a lot where there were very bad puns, and I was like,

[38:35] that sounds like one of Dan's tweets.

[38:37] That's got to be a bad pun from Dan.

[38:39] And no, they would be a real thing.

Stuart Wellington

[38:41] Yeah.

[38:42] I mean, Dan's Twitter feed has been a lengthy audition for, what, Tubi Byer?

[38:49] Like, I don't know what the show.

[38:50] A Tubi titler?

Dan McCoy

[38:51] You know, movie directors, writers, you know, when you're naming your movie, don't go for

[38:57] a bad pun if you want the Elliot audience.

[39:00] Because Elliot will see that on a marquee and will think, oh, it's just one of Dan's tweets.

[39:05] And he wants to go.

Elliott Kalan

[39:05] They accidentally put one of Dan's tweets on here.

[39:07] Dan's tweets.

[39:08] I don't know anything about computers because I'm an old man.

[39:10] Dan must have tweeted onto this marquee.

[39:12] Like, how in the movie Sex Tape, they somehow uploaded, like, a sex video from an iPad to

[39:18] everyone on their emails.

[39:18] It's because of the cloud.

Dan McCoy

[39:19] Elliot, the cloud does it all.

[39:20] But that's not how the cloud works, Dan.

Elliott Kalan

[39:23] I love the idea.

[39:24] Them making that, they're like, we've got to get this movie out before people understand

[39:27] what the cloud is and what it does.

[39:29] Yeah.

[39:30] Okay, well.

[39:31] Someone right now is rushing a wacky comedy about algorithms onto the market before people

[39:36] understand how algorithms work.

Dan McCoy

[39:38] Well, I want to thank you guys for playing my dumb game with me.

Elliott Kalan

[39:41] No, thank you, Dan.

[39:43] Thank you for making us laugh at Tubi again.

Dan McCoy

[39:46] Neil Simon.

[39:50] Neil Simon's the Tubi girl.

[39:53] So, thank you to Jordan Cowling for editing this nonsense into a usable form.

[39:59] Useful.

[39:59] Thank you to everyone at Maximum Fun for their help and support.

[40:06] Go to MaximumFun.org.

[40:08] Listen to other great Maximum Fun podcasts.

[40:11] Happy birthday to Jesse Thorne.

[40:13] He recently had a birthday.

[40:15] And before we go, we just want to say that the Maximum Fun Drive, Max Fun Drive 2021,

[40:23] starts next week.

[40:25] But I'll let you in on a little secret.

[40:27] If you decide to give some money now to keep the shows running, you'll get in on all the Max Fun Drive benefits.

[40:38] We just want to let you know because this drops right before the drive starts.

[40:42] And, you know, the money that comes from listeners to support the shows really helps.

[40:49] I know in our case, like, not only does it help us, you know, keep going as we get older and tireder,

[40:57] but it also helps us in times like this where, you know, I mean, I have been lucky enough to have steady employment,

[41:07] but everything is a little more unstable for people.

[41:11] And, you know, I know that it has been a comfort during this time.

[41:18] Thank you.

Elliott Kalan

[41:18] Thank you.

[41:19] And for Stuart and me, more than a comfort, but a material necessity.

[41:23] Yeah.

[41:23] So we'll hit you with the full entire guilt you into pledging or raising your pledge on our next episode

[41:32] when we've got a very special movie we'll be talking about.

[41:36] And maybe we'll talk about it for a long time.

[41:38] Of course we will.

[41:39] It's the Flophouse.

[41:39] But just get ready for that MaxFun pledge drive starting next week.

Stuart Wellington

[41:45] And in addition to the special episode, we're going to be throwing stuff out there on social media.

[41:51] I'm going to be doing a couple of Instagram lives on weeknight evenings,

[41:56] hopefully with some very special guests and various other cool things that we're doing just for the drive.

Elliott Kalan

[42:03] Yeah.

[42:03] And that sounds thrilling.

[42:06] And next week.

[42:06] Yeah.

[42:06] And next episode, maybe we'll tell you about our bonus content.

[42:09] Spoiler alert.

[42:10] It's dumb.

Dan McCoy

[42:11] It is very dumb.

[42:13] I actually have forgotten what we did.

[42:16] I just have a memory of having fun.

[42:20] Wow.

[42:21] That's a good endorsement.

Elliott Kalan

[42:22] Like a great bachelor party.

[42:23] Yep.

[42:24] So, Dan, why don't you take us out, not on a date.

[42:30] You could.

[42:32] You know what?

[42:32] Maybe this is when friendship becomes more.

Dan McCoy

[42:35] Well, we'll explore that.

[42:37] But for now, I've been Dan McCoy.

[42:41] I'm still Stuart Wellington.

Elliott Kalan

[42:42] And I'm Elliot Kalin, I think.

[42:45] Good night, everyone.

[42:47] Bye.

[42:48] Maybe I'm Tubi.
