Hey WKRP Cincinnati, what are we going to do?
Elliott Kalan
[0:08]
Yeah, Wolfman Jack, what are we going to do?
Dan McCoy
[0:11]
Well, what we're going to do, friends, is this is The Flophouse.
[0:16]
It's a podcast normally about bad movies.
[0:18]
We watch a bad movie and then we talk about it.
[0:21]
Last week's episode, Hillbilly Elegy, is one such of those episodes,
[0:26]
the main episodes, as you would call them.
[0:29]
But then on the off weeks, we just mess around, do other things,
[0:33]
mostly related movies, sometimes not.
[0:35]
But tonight, you know, before I introduce what we're doing,
[0:39]
let's introduce ourselves.
[0:40]
Sounds great.
[0:41]
I'm Dan McCoy.
Stuart Wellington
[0:42]
I'm Stuart Wellington.
Elliott Kalan
[0:44]
My name's Elliot Kalin.
[0:46]
You might know me as the writer of Maniac of New York,
[0:49]
the hit comic from Aftershock Comics.
[0:51]
Dan?
Stuart Wellington
[0:52]
Elliot, while Dan was doing his introduction,
[0:54]
I was watching you as you were like clearly working through your,
[0:59]
in your head whether or not Dan was going to fuck it up or not.
[1:02]
And he nailed it.
[1:02]
No, I thought too.
[1:04]
He stuck that landing.
[1:05]
This is one of the...
[1:06]
The fucking lack of faith.
Elliott Kalan
[1:07]
One of the things that keeps the thrill alive for me
[1:08]
is never knowing whether things are going to go slideways
[1:12]
when Dan is saying stuff.
[1:14]
So it really, it means that the spice never goes out of our recording relationship.
Dan McCoy
[1:19]
Yeah, that's true.
[1:20]
Well, that's, you know, that's what's called the wildcard theory of romance and podcasting.
[1:28]
Okay, so we've introduced ourselves.
[1:30]
That's the most important thing.
[1:31]
But the second most important thing is to introduce the premise of this Flophouse Mini,
[1:36]
where we are not talking about a bad movie.
[1:38]
What we are doing is I am returning to the well,
[1:42]
one of my most popular bits.
[1:44]
Everybody loves it.
[1:45]
From the one time we did it before,
[1:48]
I'm going to quiz you on some IMDB goofs.
[1:54]
And because this is the sequel,
[1:57]
I'm calling this Goofs Toofs.
Elliott Kalan
[2:01]
To anyone who's picking up the show for the first time
[2:03]
after seeing our Teen Wolf live show that we had recently,
[2:06]
thank you very much for watching that show, by the way.
[2:08]
We had a great outpouring from the fans.
[2:10]
Great response.
[2:11]
We really appreciate it.
[2:12]
It's helping us all out.
[2:13]
For anyone who is joining us now as a regular listener,
[2:16]
stick around for at least one more episode.
Stuart Wellington
[2:19]
Yeah, I mean, I'm glad you brought up our live show.
[2:20]
What is this lack of faith?
[2:22]
Our live show, I was like so blown away.
[2:25]
I was touched by the response.
[2:27]
I remember, I mean, Dan texted me right after
[2:30]
and said he thought we should have had a bigger turnout.
[2:32]
But I was like, no, Dan, the turnout was great.
Elliott Kalan
[2:37]
Dan texted me.
[2:40]
Let's see if those jackasses understand what we're laying down.
[2:42]
And I was like, Dan, I think our fans are great.
Dan McCoy
[2:45]
I texted something that said, I'm ungrateful.
[2:49]
Which is weird that I would just text a subtext
[2:52]
to you, but...
[2:53]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[2:53]
Yeah, yeah.
[2:54]
What are you, HBO's Game of Thrones TV show?
Dan McCoy
[2:58]
Trenchant.
[2:59]
I guess.
[2:59]
So this is a...
[3:01]
I don't really understand it, but...
[3:02]
Here's the rules of this bit.
[3:05]
So we're going to do a little contest,
[3:06]
a little trivia contest.
[3:07]
Goofs, Toofs, you called it?
[3:09]
Yeah, I called it Goofs, Toofs.
[3:10]
Goofs, yeah.
[3:11]
Goofs, yeah.
[3:11]
Okay.
[3:11]
Now, you may be aware that there is a little website,
[3:15]
or a big website at this point,
[3:17]
known as IMDb,
[3:19]
the Internet Movie Database.
[3:22]
From almost the dawning of the internet,
[3:24]
this has been the premiere site
[3:26]
to just, you know, look up that movie.
[3:28]
You're like, oh, who was in that movie?
[3:30]
Those are the people who were in that movie,
[3:31]
and those are the people who worked on it.
[3:33]
It's a clearing ground for all that sort of
[3:37]
credit information, largely,
[3:39]
but it has other things.
[3:40]
It has a goof section for many of the movies.
[3:43]
And IMDb is managed on, you know,
[3:48]
sort of a wiki model.
[3:49]
Not exactly that,
[3:50]
but users do a lot of the information gathering.
[3:55]
That's why my friend John Kingman
[3:56]
was able to make it look like I was the set dresser
[4:00]
for the bikini car wash company briefly.
Elliott Kalan
[4:03]
It's why there were many, many years
[4:06]
when, according to IMDb,
[4:07]
the greatest film of all time
[4:08]
was The Shawshank Redemption,
[4:10]
a perfectly fine movie I like very much,
[4:13]
but that is hardly the pinnacle
[4:14]
of cinematic achievement, you know.
Stuart Wellington
[4:17]
The IMDb, part of that also is why
[4:19]
I am mislabeled as having a part
[4:22]
in a Wiggles movie or video or something.
Elliott Kalan
[4:26]
Something about pirates, right?
[4:28]
And why in my trivia on my entry,
[4:30]
it, of course, mentions my lifelong friendship
[4:33]
with Annie Hathaway,
[4:34]
which is, has only the most tenuous relationship
Dan McCoy
[4:37]
with reality, that fact.
[4:40]
Yeah, well, yeah, that is a,
[4:42]
that is obviously Flophouse fan mischief makers.
[4:45]
It also has, it also has the wrong birth year for me.
Elliott Kalan
[4:47]
Someone shaved a year off of my age,
[4:49]
which, thank you very much,
[4:50]
it wasn't me, but I appreciate it.
[4:51]
You know, youth is everything in this business.
Dan McCoy
[4:55]
Uh, don't I know it, man.
[4:58]
My youthful glow is faded.
Stuart Wellington
[5:01]
My favorite thing about IMDb is how,
[5:04]
no matter what, no matter what actor I pick,
[5:06]
it, they are always going to have at least
[5:09]
one credited appearance on the TV show,
[5:11]
Harry's Law.
[5:13]
That is the law of Harry.
[5:14]
I mean, it's a pretty short-lived program.
Elliott Kalan
[5:18]
I feel like that's,
[5:19]
that's what's strange about it.
[5:20]
The number, the actors that Stu looks up on IMDb
[5:23]
are a self-selected group.
[5:25]
I feel like it's,
[5:26]
it's,
Dan McCoy
[5:28]
he's mostly looking up Kathy Bates,
[5:32]
which is why Harry's Law.
[5:33]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[5:33]
Like, where do I know her from?
[5:37]
Hmm.
Dan McCoy
[5:38]
So, okay.
[5:39]
Well, but the point of what I was saying
[5:41]
is that on IMDb,
[5:42]
people contribute goofs.
[5:44]
Uh, little, uh, bloopers, if you will,
[5:48]
in the movie that just got,
[5:49]
you know, did not get edited out.
[5:51]
No one caught them along the way.
[5:52]
Like a Starbucks cup
[5:54]
in the aforementioned Game of Thrones.
[5:56]
These are just goofs.
Elliott Kalan
[5:58]
Like someone zipping their fly
[5:59]
right on camera in Teen Wolf.
[6:02]
As we talked about during our Teen Wolf live show,
[6:04]
I'm sorry to keep referencing it,
[6:05]
it will never be seen or heard again.
[6:08]
So for anyone who missed,
[6:09]
I apologize.
[6:10]
I'm really tantalizing you.
[6:10]
I don't know why you're rubbing it in.
[6:12]
Actually, and that is the original,
[6:13]
the original mythology was that Tantalus,
[6:15]
when he was being punished in the afterlife,
[6:17]
they would,
[6:18]
they would promise him
[6:19]
he would get to see our Teen Wolf live show
[6:20]
and then go,
Dan McCoy
[6:21]
ooh, sorry you missed the window.
[6:23]
Ooh.
[6:24]
Yeah.
[6:26]
Um, but the point is,
[6:27]
so the ideas that, uh,
[6:30]
the greater viewing public have
[6:32]
about what makes a goof
[6:33]
are maybe a little, uh, broader,
[6:36]
more expansive,
[6:37]
more expansive than, uh,
[6:38]
you might imagine.
Elliott Kalan
[6:39]
Now, Dan,
[6:40]
do goofs include bloops?
Dan McCoy
[6:43]
Uh, I think a bloop is more,
[6:46]
you know,
[6:46]
a flub that is recognized.
[6:49]
Dan, don't throw more terminology at me.
Elliott Kalan
[6:52]
Use plain English.
[6:53]
Come on.
[6:53]
A goof is a flub.
[6:55]
Come on, nerdlinger.
Dan McCoy
[6:57]
Now, a best boy, uh,
[7:00]
uses his grip
[7:01]
to grip onto this flub,
[7:03]
uh,
[7:04]
to gaff the,
[7:07]
uh,
[7:07]
um,
[7:08]
Are you guys talking about
[7:10]
fucking mank again?
Elliott Kalan
[7:11]
We're talking about mank.
[7:13]
Stu, don't get me started on mank.
[7:14]
I have a lot to say about it.
[7:17]
Don't yank his mank crank.
[7:18]
Somebody send me that shirt.
[7:24]
Send me a shirt that says,
[7:25]
don't yank my mank crank.
[7:28]
I promise you,
[7:29]
I will take a picture wearing it.
[7:34]
That's our pledge to you.
Dan McCoy
[7:35]
That's my yank mank crank pledge.
Elliott Kalan
[7:38]
It's like something out of a,
[7:39]
out of a,
[7:40]
out of a Dr. Seuss book.
[7:42]
When he watched mank,
[7:43]
it made him crank.
[7:44]
So don't yank his mank crank.
Stuart Wellington
[7:47]
And you're going to hold up like
[7:48]
a copy of today's newspaper
[7:49]
so I know it wasn't a forged photo,
[7:51]
right?
Elliott Kalan
[7:52]
Yeah, exactly.
[7:52]
So you know I didn't take it
[7:54]
a hundred years in the past.
[7:55]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[7:58]
Uh, a goof,
[7:59]
I think,
[7:59]
I think the difference between
[8:00]
a goof and a bloop
[8:00]
is someone catches the bloop
[8:02]
along the way.
[8:03]
I see.
[8:04]
And so it ends up
Elliott Kalan
[8:04]
hopefully on a bloop reel
[8:06]
at the end.
[8:06]
Although every time I watch
[8:07]
a serious movie,
[8:08]
I'm always disappointed
[8:09]
there's no bloops at the end.
Dan McCoy
[8:13]
Something,
[8:13]
something funny must have happened
Elliott Kalan
[8:15]
on the set of The Little Things.
[8:16]
Why is there no bloops at the end?
Dan McCoy
[8:18]
You know,
[8:19]
I,
[8:19]
I both want to live in a world
[8:21]
with more bloops
[8:21]
and I remember how like
[8:23]
being there ends
[8:24]
with a bunch of bloopers
[8:25]
and it's so strange
[8:26]
after the movie
[8:28]
that we've just watched.
[8:29]
Yeah,
Dan McCoy
[8:29]
Peter Sellers was apparently
[8:30]
very unhappy about that.
[8:32]
Uh,
[8:33]
I mean,
[8:33]
yeah,
[8:33]
he thought it lost
[8:34]
him the Oscar,
[8:35]
didn't he?
Elliott Kalan
[8:35]
I don't know about that.
[8:36]
Maybe.
[8:36]
I think he felt that he had,
[8:37]
he had constructed
[8:38]
this performance
[8:39]
and held it for the whole movie
[8:40]
and then Hal Ashby was like,
[8:42]
hey,
[8:42]
check this dude out.
[8:43]
It's just Peter Sellers.
[8:44]
Don't think it's really that guy.
[8:46]
Yeah.
[8:46]
Yeah.
[8:46]
Um,
Dan McCoy
[8:47]
okay,
[8:49]
well,
[8:49]
anyway,
[8:49]
the point is
[8:50]
I'm going to read off
[8:51]
one of these,
[8:52]
uh,
[8:53]
crowdsourced goofs
[8:55]
and you gentlemen
[8:57]
are going to have to guess
[8:58]
what movie
[8:59]
the bloop comes from.
[9:02]
I will
[9:02]
keep score.
[9:04]
Okay.
[9:05]
Uh,
[9:05]
I'm gonna just...
[9:06]
Despite the title of the film,
Elliott Kalan
[9:08]
Godzilla never bumps his shin
[9:10]
on anything.
[9:11]
Is it Shin Godzilla?
[9:12]
No,
[9:13]
it's not.
Dan McCoy
[9:15]
Okay,
[9:15]
so this is,
[9:16]
uh,
[9:17]
the first bloop.
[9:18]
Toast the knowing
[9:19]
turns the crank
[9:21]
of the music box
[9:22]
in the wrong direction.
[9:24]
What a bloop.
Stuart Wellington
[9:27]
Wait,
[9:27]
wouldn't that be a goof
[9:29]
and not a bloop?
Dan McCoy
[9:30]
Yeah,
[9:30]
that feels like a goof.
[9:31]
Is that the first goof
[9:32]
of the night?
[9:32]
Oh,
Dan McCoy
[9:32]
sorry,
[9:32]
sorry,
[9:33]
sorry.
[9:33]
What a goof.
[9:34]
That was a,
[9:34]
that was a,
[9:35]
you know what,
[9:36]
that was a,
[9:36]
that was a bloop goop.
[9:37]
I feel like,
Elliott Kalan
[9:38]
that was,
[9:38]
yeah,
[9:38]
that was a,
[9:39]
we'll put the goof bloop reel
[9:41]
at the end.
[9:42]
Yeah,
[9:42]
I feel like a bloop
[9:43]
would have been
[9:43]
if he had gone
[9:44]
to crank the music box
[9:46]
and it broke off
[9:47]
in his hand
[9:47]
and then he pooped
[9:48]
on himself.
Dan McCoy
[9:49]
Like,
[9:49]
that's a serious bloop.
Elliott Kalan
[9:50]
That's a poop bloop.
Dan McCoy
[9:52]
The goof,
[9:53]
the goof troop came in
[9:55]
to clarify
[9:57]
that was a poop bloop
[9:59]
and not a,
[10:00]
not a goof.
[10:02]
Yeah,
[10:02]
they used the wrong form
Elliott Kalan
[10:03]
to classify it
[10:04]
so everyone had to go
[10:05]
to Brazil jail.
Dan McCoy
[10:07]
Here's a goof.
[10:08]
The goof is,
[10:09]
toast the knowing,
[10:10]
turns the crank
[10:11]
of the music box
[10:12]
in the wrong direction.
[10:13]
Oh,
[10:14]
that goofy goof.
[10:15]
What movie is this?
[10:17]
Uh,
[10:18]
let's,
[10:18]
I'm gonna,
[10:19]
you know what,
[10:19]
I'm gonna,
[10:20]
to try and,
[10:20]
um,
[10:21]
even things out,
[10:22]
I'm gonna call
[10:23]
on one of you first
[10:24]
and I'm gonna switch it up
[10:25]
each round.
[10:27]
So,
[10:28]
in this first round,
[10:29]
Elliot,
[10:29]
do you have a guess
[10:30]
for what this
[10:31]
goof is from?
Elliott Kalan
[10:33]
It sounds really familiar
[10:34]
and I'm sure
[10:34]
that I will be like,
[10:35]
oh,
[10:36]
right,
[10:36]
when I hear it,
[10:37]
but all I can think of
[10:38]
is Toad the Wet Sprocket
[10:39]
and that makes me think
[10:40]
about the original
[10:41]
Monty Python bit
[10:42]
that the name
[10:43]
Toad the Wet Sprocket
[10:44]
came from,
[10:45]
uh,
[10:46]
featuring Ambidextrous Rex,
[10:47]
uh,
[10:48]
and that's not it.
[10:49]
It can't be,
[10:50]
it's,
[10:50]
because there's no music box
[10:51]
in that bit.
[10:52]
So,
[10:53]
I don't know.
[10:54]
Is it Freak the Mighty?
Dan McCoy
[10:57]
Well,
[10:58]
we'll find out,
[10:59]
uh,
[10:59]
soon enough.
[11:00]
Stuart,
[11:01]
what is your guess
[11:02]
for this?
Stuart Wellington
[11:02]
Well,
[11:02]
you mentioned a monkey,
[11:04]
wait,
[11:05]
you mentioned a,
[11:06]
you mentioned a music box.
[11:08]
I got ahead of myself.
[11:09]
So is it Monkey Shines,
[11:10]
the movie with the monkey
[11:11]
with the,
[11:12]
wait,
[11:13]
that doesn't have a music box.
[11:15]
It just plays like
[11:15]
a little drum.
[11:16]
I fucked it up.
Elliott Kalan
[11:17]
I mean,
[11:18]
Monkey Shines,
[11:18]
I don't think he does
[11:19]
play a little drum,
Stuart Wellington
[11:20]
does he?
[11:21]
Does he play a music box?
[11:22]
Did I get it right?
[11:23]
Yeah,
[11:23]
I think so,
Elliott Kalan
[11:24]
right?
[11:24]
Is it Monkey Shines,
[11:25]
the experiment terror?
Dan McCoy
[11:28]
All right,
[11:28]
there is a monkey
[11:29]
that plays the symbols
[11:31]
on the cover
[11:32]
of the VHS
[11:33]
from Monkey Shines.
[11:35]
Yeah.
[11:35]
I don't know
[11:36]
I don't know
Dan McCoy
[11:36]
if it's in the movie
[11:36]
or not.
[11:37]
I don't think he's in the movie,
[11:37]
but there is that.
[11:38]
That is a clockwork monkey.
[11:39]
It is not the actual
[11:40]
killer monkey.
[11:41]
I mean,
Elliott Kalan
[11:41]
we all remember
[11:41]
a clockwork monkey,
[11:43]
Stanley Kubrick's adaptation
[11:44]
of Anthony Burgess's novel.
[11:46]
Yeah.
[11:47]
The,
[11:47]
I think you might be thinking of,
[11:49]
there was an old TV movie
[11:50]
about an evil
[11:51]
wind-up symbol monkey,
[11:53]
and that was later repurposed
[11:54]
as the second half
[11:55]
of Merlin's Shop
[11:56]
of Mystical Wonders,
[11:57]
which was a Mystery Science
[11:58]
Theater episode.
[11:59]
So Dan.
[11:59]
That's,
[12:00]
that was what I was thinking of,
[12:01]
actually.
[12:01]
Yeah,
[12:02]
so I'm going to say
[12:03]
last year at Merlin's Bed.
Dan McCoy
[12:05]
The correct answer to this
[12:06]
is,
[12:07]
of course,
[12:08]
Fury Road,
[12:09]
Mad Max Fury Road.
[12:10]
Right.
[12:11]
Right.
[12:11]
Oh,
[12:12]
that goofster toast to the knowing.
[12:14]
Which character was toast to the knowing?
[12:15]
I don't know.
[12:17]
So,
[12:18]
let's look at the scores.
[12:19]
We've got zero to zero.
[12:21]
Moving on.
Elliott Kalan
[12:21]
I feel like I should have known that one
[12:23]
because I love that movie,
[12:24]
but on the other hand,
[12:25]
a lot of those characters,
[12:26]
their names are not said in the movie.
[12:28]
So it's,
[12:28]
you kind of have to know.
[12:29]
You have to kind of have to read
[12:30]
some of the back matter,
[12:31]
you know.
Dan McCoy
[12:32]
Wait for the,
[12:33]
the end credits
[12:34]
where everyone gets their name.
[12:36]
Yeah.
[12:37]
Um,
[12:38]
okay.
[12:38]
Blue,
[12:39]
uh,
[12:39]
Goof the,
[12:40]
the,
[12:40]
the second.
[12:42]
When we see Jack
[12:43]
in his final state of undead
[12:45]
in the porno theater,
[12:46]
he uses a lot of words,
[12:48]
uh,
[12:48]
that are formed with the lips,
[12:50]
such as schmuck.
[12:52]
However,
[12:53]
Jack is virtually skeletal
[12:55]
and has no lips
[12:56]
to form the words.
[12:58]
That is a hell of a goof,
[13:00]
guys.
[13:00]
Yeah.
[13:01]
So Dan,
Elliott Kalan
[13:01]
I believe I know this one,
[13:02]
but if Stuart wants to go.
[13:04]
I'm going to jump in there.
[13:05]
We're talking about a Jack
Stuart Wellington
[13:07]
that's almost a skeleton.
[13:08]
This is obviously
[13:09]
Nightmare Before Christmas,
[13:11]
baby.
[13:11]
Yep.
[13:12]
I nailed it.
[13:12]
You remember seeing the scene
Elliott Kalan
[13:13]
where he goes to a porno theater?
[13:14]
Yep.
[13:14]
Yeah,
[13:15]
right?
[13:16]
Yeah.
[13:16]
And Oogie Boogie's like,
Stuart Wellington
[13:17]
you better clean that up,
[13:19]
dude.
[13:19]
And I'm like,
[13:20]
what?
[13:20]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[13:22]
I think it's,
[13:23]
I believe you're talking about
[13:24]
an American werewolf in London,
[13:25]
Daniel.
Dan McCoy
[13:27]
Uh,
[13:27]
yes,
[13:27]
I am.
[13:28]
Yeah.
[13:28]
That is correct.
[13:29]
I think the fact that,
Elliott Kalan
[13:30]
I love that the goof is not
[13:31]
a corpse is talking,
[13:33]
a skeleton is talking,
[13:35]
which is not a thing
[13:35]
skeletons to do.
[13:36]
It is that the skeleton
[13:37]
can't form those
[13:38]
particular phonemes
[13:40]
without lips.
Dan McCoy
[13:41]
Well,
[13:41]
I mean,
[13:43]
without lips.
[13:44]
Uh,
[13:45]
so I,
[13:46]
you know,
[13:46]
I'm sorry,
[13:47]
Stuart,
[13:47]
you sacrificed your
[13:48]
vote to comedy.
[13:50]
uh,
[13:51]
so Elliot is.
Elliott Kalan
[13:52]
Yeah.
[13:53]
I didn't love the joke.
[13:54]
I didn't,
[13:54]
it turns out I like,
[13:55]
I like people knowing
[13:57]
that I know things
[13:58]
more than people laughing
[13:59]
at my jokes,
[13:59]
especially after I missed
[14:00]
that Fury Road one.
Stuart Wellington
[14:02]
So,
[14:02]
okay.
[14:03]
Now I'm wondering,
[14:04]
now I'm wondering though
Elliott Kalan
[14:05]
about the Nightmare Before
[14:06]
Christmas stop motion
[14:07]
porn parody
[14:07]
that never got made
[14:09]
but probably should have
[14:10]
been made.
[14:11]
Yeah.
[14:12]
Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[14:13]
Okay,
[14:14]
so,
[14:15]
uh,
[14:15]
Goof the Third.
[14:16]
Mm-hmm.
[14:17]
Helen believes
[14:19]
she's alone
[14:19]
on the plane
[14:20]
yet she changes
[14:22]
into her uniform
[14:23]
in the undoubtedly
[14:25]
cramped laboratory.
[14:27]
Why wouldn't she
[14:28]
just change
[14:29]
in the cabin?
[14:30]
What a goof!
[14:33]
Elliot.
[14:34]
Helen believes
[14:35]
she's alone
[14:35]
on the plane
[14:36]
yet she changes
[14:36]
into her uniform
[14:37]
in the undoubtedly
[14:38]
cramped laboratory.
[14:40]
Why not the cabin?
Elliott Kalan
[14:42]
I mean,
[14:43]
if it's the movie
[14:43]
that I think it is,
[14:45]
then that's Helen Hunt
[14:46]
doing the plane sequence
[14:47]
in Hunt stunts,
[14:49]
the direct-to-video
[14:51]
sold-only-through-late-night-cable-commercials
[14:53]
video where Helen Hunt
[14:55]
pulls off the trickiest,
[14:56]
the ickiest,
[14:57]
and craziest stunts
[14:59]
this side of Hollywood.
[15:00]
And in that one,
[15:01]
she was pretending
[15:02]
to be a flight attendant
[15:03]
and then she changes
[15:03]
into the uniform
[15:04]
and she has to,
[15:05]
and she, like,
[15:06]
lands the plane
[15:07]
basically on the top
[15:08]
of a construction site crane
[15:10]
and then the whole thing explodes
[15:11]
and she has to tumble out
[15:12]
down the side of the crane
[15:14]
to get out
[15:15]
and then she's like,
[15:17]
ugh,
[15:18]
next time I'm taking the train.
[15:19]
Is it that one?
[15:20]
Is it Hunt stunts?
Stuart Wellington
[15:21]
Well, we'll find out.
Elliott Kalan
[15:23]
Well,
[15:23]
I already took Hunt stunts
Stuart Wellington
[15:25]
so I can't say that one.
[15:26]
No, I mean,
[15:27]
you could say the other,
Elliott Kalan
[15:28]
Hunt stunts too,
[15:29]
which was Linda Hunt
Stuart Wellington
[15:29]
doing a series of stunts.
[15:31]
I mean,
[15:32]
that's,
[15:33]
I mean,
[15:34]
that's crazy
[15:34]
that they say that
[15:35]
for the sequel
[15:35]
but I guess you gotta go bigger,
[15:37]
right?
[15:37]
Yeah, exactly.
[15:39]
So, yeah,
[15:40]
I mean,
[15:40]
obviously we're talking
[15:41]
about a plane here
[15:42]
and the only movie
[15:43]
I can think of
[15:43]
that has a plane in it,
[15:45]
I think this is a fact,
[15:46]
is Con Air
[15:47]
starring Nicolas Cage.
[15:49]
Is it Con Air
[15:50]
starring Nicolas Cage?
Dan McCoy
[15:52]
Well,
[15:52]
I'm afraid that
[15:54]
neither of you
[15:55]
got this one.
[15:56]
The answer is
[15:57]
The Incredibles.
[15:59]
Oh!
[16:00]
I assume that
[16:01]
Anthony Lane
[16:02]
contributed this goof.
[16:03]
He's like,
[16:04]
why doesn't Helen
[16:05]
change out
[16:05]
in front of all of us?
[16:06]
I think the audience
[16:07]
would like to see that.
Stuart Wellington
[16:08]
Is that that dude
[16:09]
who like jacked off
[16:10]
about Mrs. Incredible
[16:12]
in his fucking review
[16:13]
in the newspaper?
[16:14]
Yeah,
Dan McCoy
[16:14]
the New Yorker review.
[16:16]
Wow.
[16:16]
He was totally horny
[16:18]
for Helen Parr
[16:20]
which,
[16:21]
look,
[16:21]
understandable
[16:21]
but maybe not
[16:22]
in your review
[16:23]
of this children's movie
[16:24]
for the New Yorker.
Stuart Wellington
[16:25]
Is that like
[16:26]
the most horny
[16:27]
on Maine
[16:28]
you can be
[16:28]
is to do it
[16:29]
in the newspaper?
Elliott Kalan
[16:31]
I'm gonna,
[16:32]
in defense of Anthony Lane,
[16:33]
one,
[16:34]
it's not like children
[16:34]
were gonna read
[16:35]
the review
[16:36]
in the New Yorker
[16:37]
of Incredibles 2.
[16:38]
You might as well.
[16:39]
Yeah,
[16:39]
you might as well.
Stuart Wellington
[16:41]
You might as well
[16:41]
talk about
[16:42]
your infatuation
[16:45]
with large bottoms.
Elliott Kalan
[16:46]
And two,
[16:47]
if you're familiar
[16:47]
with Anthony Lane,
[16:48]
he is so,
[16:50]
it is so hard
[16:50]
for him to stay
[16:51]
on topic
[16:52]
about any movie
[16:53]
that he is writing about.
[16:54]
He's like,
[16:55]
hmm,
[16:55]
Avengers Infinity War,
[16:57]
whatever happened
[16:58]
to His Girl Friday?
[16:59]
Let me talk about that.
[17:00]
And it's like,
[17:00]
dude,
[17:01]
I love His Girl Friday too.
[17:02]
But like,
[17:02]
they're not,
[17:03]
not every movie
[17:04]
is an excuse
[17:04]
to talk about
[17:05]
how much you love
[17:05]
Rosalind Russell.
[17:07]
That guy does not
[17:09]
care for movies.
[17:10]
He doesn't seem
[17:10]
to like movies
[17:11]
as opposed to
[17:12]
the other New Yorker
[17:12]
film critic,
[17:13]
Richard Brody,
[17:13]
who merely likes movies
[17:15]
that everybody else
[17:15]
doesn't like.
[17:17]
Oh,
[17:17]
like Armin White?
[17:18]
He's a little bit like Armin.
[17:19]
He's not quite as intense
[17:20]
that way as Armin White
[17:21]
a little bit.
[17:22]
Richard Brody,
[17:22]
his personal crusade
[17:23]
seems to be
[17:24]
making sure everyone
[17:25]
knows that Ishtar
[17:25]
is a work of pure genius
[17:27]
and a hilarious movie
[17:28]
to boot.
[17:28]
And that the Star Wars
[17:29]
movies are soulless.
Stuart Wellington
[17:30]
I think we disproved that,
[17:32]
right,
[17:32]
when we watched it
Dan McCoy
[17:33]
for this podcast?
[17:35]
Scientifically.
[17:36]
A mystifying take
[17:38]
as far as I'm concerned,
[17:39]
but God love you
[17:39]
if you enjoyed it.
[17:41]
You know,
[17:41]
have fun.
[17:42]
Elaine May
Elliott Kalan
[17:43]
is undoubtedly
[17:44]
incredibly talented
[17:45]
and a skilled filmmaker
[17:46]
in other films.
[17:47]
So,
[17:48]
you know,
[17:48]
not fair what happened
[17:49]
to her as a result
[17:50]
of Ishtar,
[17:50]
but at the same time,
[17:51]
Ishtar is not very good.
[17:53]
I'm sorry,
[17:54]
Richard Brody,
[17:55]
but I had to say it.
[17:56]
And Anthony Lane,
[17:57]
hey,
[17:57]
just keep on
[17:58]
flying that freak flag.
[17:59]
Maybe someday
[18:00]
you'll get to bury it
[18:00]
in Mrs. Incredible.
[18:03]
So,
[18:03]
speaking of,
[18:04]
Jesus Christ,
[18:06]
speaking of Anthony Lane.
[18:07]
It's okay, Dan.
[18:08]
Kids don't listen to this.
[18:09]
It's okay.
Dan McCoy
[18:10]
Yeah.
[18:10]
Is it?
[18:11]
I hope not.
[18:12]
Speaking of Anthony Lane,
[18:14]
here's another horny goof.
[18:14]
Because they'll make fun of me
Stuart Wellington
[18:15]
and I'm very intimidated
[18:16]
by kids.
[18:18]
So,
Dan McCoy
[18:20]
here's goof number four.
[18:22]
When Ava has to put on
[18:23]
clothes slash skin,
[18:26]
her breasts become
[18:27]
notably smaller.
[18:29]
So,
[18:30]
someone needed to
[18:32]
let us know
[18:33]
about this goof.
[18:35]
Are we to believe
[18:37]
that putting on
[18:38]
clothes slash skin
[18:40]
makes one's breasts
[18:41]
smaller?
[18:42]
Unnamed film?
[18:43]
What a goof.
[18:44]
Okay.
[18:45]
So,
[18:46]
I guess,
[18:46]
who did I go to
[18:47]
first last time?
[18:48]
I can't even remember.
[18:50]
I think I went
[18:50]
first last time.
[18:51]
You went to LA first.
[18:52]
Okay.
[18:53]
So,
[18:53]
Stuart,
[18:54]
do you have an idea
[18:55]
about what film?
Stuart Wellington
[18:58]
Trying to think
[18:59]
about
[19:00]
putting on
[19:01]
clothes slash
[19:02]
skin.
[19:03]
That seems to be the
[19:04]
giveaway.
[19:05]
I don't know.
[19:06]
It's like a layup.
[19:06]
Off the top of my head.
[19:09]
I don't want to
[19:10]
biff this one
[19:11]
because I keep
[19:11]
biffing them.
[19:13]
But man,
[19:14]
I'm kind of stumped.
[19:15]
I mean,
[19:16]
it's not Hellraiser 2.
[19:18]
It's not Hellraiser 1.
Elliott Kalan
[19:21]
But it sounds like
[19:22]
something you would
[19:22]
see in a Hellraiser.
[19:24]
He does need to
[19:24]
collect skin in that
[19:25]
first Hellraiser.
[19:27]
Uh-huh.
[19:27]
Because he's in hell.
[19:28]
Help him.
[19:28]
Yeah,
[19:29]
for his big skin ball.
[19:30]
Now,
[19:30]
Stu,
[19:30]
I think you would
[19:31]
want to biff this one.
[19:31]
That's where you
[19:32]
get the answers
[19:33]
in the goof almanac
[19:35]
and you go back in time.
[19:36]
And now you can
[19:37]
make bets on the goofs
[19:38]
and you're running
[19:39]
the world pretty soon.
Stuart Wellington
[19:40]
Yeah,
[19:41]
it was written by
[19:42]
accredited journalist
[19:43]
Dan McCoy,
[19:44]
right?
Dan McCoy
[19:47]
There was a...
[19:48]
Noted sports fan.
Elliott Kalan
[19:50]
Something that
[19:50]
was starting to get to me
[19:51]
was I don't know
[19:52]
if you guys were seeing
[19:53]
as many comparisons
[19:53]
between Trump and
[19:55]
biff in Back to the Future 2
[19:56]
where they're like,
[19:57]
this is biff world.
[19:58]
And it was like,
[19:59]
and they're like,
[19:59]
how prescient.
[20:00]
And it's like,
[20:01]
it's only because Trump
[20:02]
is every villain
[20:03]
that's ever been
[20:03]
in every movie.
[20:04]
Like,
[20:04]
he embodies all
[20:05]
the characteristics
[20:06]
of every villain
[20:06]
from every movie.
[20:07]
So,
[20:08]
like,
[20:08]
of course,
[20:08]
it's reminiscent
[20:10]
of those things.
[20:11]
But anyway,
[20:12]
not to insult
[20:14]
any of the fascist
[20:15]
listeners that we have.
[20:16]
We appreciate your listening.
[20:19]
So,
[20:19]
Dan,
[20:20]
Ava,
[20:20]
when she puts on clothes,
[20:21]
her boobs get smaller.
[20:22]
Stuart,
[20:23]
it's not a Hellraiser movie,
[20:24]
I guess.
[20:24]
So,
[20:24]
what are you going to guess?
Stuart Wellington
[20:25]
Yeah,
[20:26]
I don't know now.
[20:30]
WALL-E,
[20:30]
that's the name
[20:31]
of that robot.
[20:32]
Her name's Ava,
[20:33]
right?
Elliott Kalan
[20:34]
Yeah,
[20:34]
Eva,
[20:34]
yeah.
[20:34]
Yeah.
[20:35]
And,
[20:35]
Dan,
[20:35]
I'm going to guess
[20:36]
it's Honey,
[20:36]
I shrunk the boobs.
Stuart Wellington
[20:40]
Yeah.
[20:40]
Does she drape skin
[20:42]
on her robot shell
[20:43]
like a Necron flayed one
[20:44]
from the Warhammer 40,000 universe?
Dan McCoy
[20:47]
No,
[20:48]
this,
[20:48]
the second
[20:49]
and final
[20:51]
of the
[20:52]
horny goofs,
[20:54]
I would call them,
[20:55]
is,
[20:55]
that is
[20:56]
Ex Machina.
[20:57]
Ex Machina.
[20:59]
Right.
[21:00]
Okay.
[21:01]
So,
[21:01]
this is,
[21:03]
I will call this
[21:04]
halftime.
[21:07]
We have to do
[21:09]
an advertisement,
[21:12]
but Elliot is
[21:13]
currently ahead
[21:14]
one to zero.
[21:15]
Not by much.
Elliott Kalan
[21:16]
This is not my day,
[21:17]
and,
[21:18]
you know what,
[21:18]
Stu,
[21:18]
I think you can
[21:19]
take this game.
[21:19]
Any given Sunday,
[21:20]
you know?
[21:20]
Yep,
[21:21]
I mean,
[21:21]
technically we're
[21:22]
recording this
[21:22]
on a Tuesday,
[21:23]
but yeah,
[21:23]
sure.
[21:23]
Sure.
John Hodgman
[21:25]
I'm Judge John Hodgman.
[21:27]
And I'm Bailiff Jesse Thorne.
[21:28]
Ten years ago,
[21:29]
I came on
[21:30]
Jordan Jesse Go
[21:30]
and judged
[21:31]
my first dispute.
[21:32]
Is chili a soup?
[21:34]
It's a stew,
[21:35]
obviously.
Jesse Thorn
[21:35]
The judge has dispensed
[21:37]
a decade of justice.
[21:39]
He's the one person
[21:40]
wise enough
[21:41]
to answer
[21:42]
the really important
[21:43]
questions,
[21:44]
like,
[21:45]
should you hire
[21:46]
a mime
[21:46]
to perform
[21:47]
at your own funeral?
S6
[21:48]
After they cry,
Jesse Thorn
[21:50]
I want them to laugh.
John Hodgman
[21:51]
Do you really need
[21:52]
a tank full of jellyfish
[21:54]
in your den?
S6
[21:55]
They smell like
[21:55]
living creatures
[21:56]
decaying.
John Hodgman
[21:57]
Only if they are
[21:58]
decaying.
S6
[21:58]
Yeah,
[21:59]
which they will be.
John Hodgman
[22:00]
Real people,
[22:01]
real justice,
[22:02]
real comedy.

[22:09]

[22:10]
on MaximumFun.org.
Jesse Thorn
[22:15]
Hey, it's Jesse.
[22:16]
What you're about to hear
[22:17]
is real.
[22:19]
Hey, this is Chris.
[22:21]
Hi, Chris.
[22:21]
It's Jesse calling
[22:22]
from Maximum Fun.
[22:23]
Hey, Jesse.
[22:24]
I heard that you got
[22:25]
into a car accident.
S6
[22:27]
Yeah, I was listening
[22:28]
to Stop Podcasting
[22:29]
Yourself,
[22:30]
and I just laughed
[22:31]
so hard that I
[22:32]
slammed into
[22:33]
a construction barrier.
Jesse Thorn
[22:37]
Do you remember
[22:37]
what it was
S6
[22:39]
that was so funny?
[22:40]
I will never forget,
[22:41]
I'm sure.
[22:42]
They started talking
[22:43]
about Vegas
[22:44]
and the, you know,
[22:45]
if it happens here,
[22:46]
it stays here,
[22:47]
and that slogan.
[22:48]
And Graham was talking
[22:49]
about, oh, you know,
[22:50]
wasn't there some other
[22:51]
slogan for another commercial?
John Hodgman
[22:52]
Oh, it was like
[22:53]
a commercial for food,
[22:54]
and it said, like,
[22:55]
whatever's in there
[22:56]
stays in there.
[22:57]
I can't remember
[22:57]
what it was,
[22:58]
clams or something.
S6
[23:01]
Clams?
[23:03]
Just so ridiculous,
[23:04]
and man,
[23:05]
I got lightheaded.
[23:06]
I was laughing so hard.
Jesse Thorn
[23:08]
Next thing I know,
S6
[23:10]
smash.
[23:12]
They are,
[23:13]
they are just
[23:14]
brilliantly funny.
Jesse Thorn
[23:16]
So, I talked to
[23:17]
Dave and Graham
[23:18]
from Stop Podcasting
[23:19]
Yourself.
[23:19]
We would like to pay
[23:20]
your car repair bill.
[23:22]
Is that okay?
S6
[23:23]
I mean,
[23:23]
that would be
[23:24]
super nice, Jesse.
[23:25]
I really,
[23:26]
thank you.
[23:27]
I appreciate that.
Dan McCoy
[23:30]
So,
[23:30]
the Fluff House...
[23:32]
Dan, wait,
[23:32]
do we have any goofs
Elliott Kalan
[23:33]
from any given Sunday?
[23:34]
Because I feel like
[23:35]
Stuart should be
[23:35]
disqualified.
[23:36]
from answering those.
Dan McCoy
[23:37]
The goof of it is like,
[23:38]
this is,
[23:39]
this does not
[23:40]
take place on
[23:41]
any given Sunday.
[23:42]
This takes place
[23:43]
over the course
[23:44]
of several specific Sundays.
[23:45]
In reality...
Stuart Wellington
[23:46]
I haven't recently
[23:46]
re-watched
[23:47]
any given Sunday.
[23:48]
For one,
[23:48]
I think the sports teams
[23:50]
have the craziest names
[23:51]
out of any movie
[23:52]
I've ever seen.
[23:53]
And also,
[23:54]
I think,
[23:55]
when it comes to
[23:56]
pop songs
[23:57]
that I wish
[23:59]
existed in the real world,
[24:01]
the Willie Beeman song
[24:04]
is tied with
[24:05]
Scotty Doesn't Know
[24:06]
from Euro Trip
[24:07]
as my favorite
[24:08]
pop songs.
Elliott Kalan
[24:10]
I would say
[24:11]
the goof for any given Sunday
[24:12]
is,
[24:12]
a football team
[24:13]
cannot win
[24:13]
on any given Sunday,
[24:15]
merely on those Sundays
[24:16]
for which football games
[24:17]
are scheduled.
[24:18]
And Dan,
[24:19]
what is the advertisement?
Stuart Wellington
[24:20]
Oh, God,
[24:23]
I hate it.
[24:24]
I hate it,
[24:24]
but you're right,
[24:25]
you know.
[24:26]
Gotta respect it
[24:27]
when you're right.
Dan McCoy
[24:30]
Well,
[24:31]
the Flophouse
[24:32]
is sponsored
[24:33]
in part
[24:33]
by ExpressVPN.
[24:36]
Did you know
[24:37]
that there are
[24:37]
thousands of shows
[24:39]
on Netflix
[24:40]
that might not
[24:40]
be available to you
[24:41]
now based on
[24:42]
your location?
[24:44]
Make sure you're
[24:45]
getting your full
[24:45]
money's worth
[24:46]
by using
[24:47]
ExpressVPN.
[24:48]
Using ExpressVPN
[24:49]
you can control
[24:51]
which country
[24:51]
you want Netflix
[24:52]
to think
[24:53]
you're in.
[24:55]
You can watch,
[24:56]
I don't know,
[24:57]
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
[24:58]
on Canada Netflix,
[25:00]
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
[25:01]
on Australia Netflix,
[25:03]
Blackadder on UK Netflix.
[25:06]
It's not on US Netflix,
[25:09]
but with just one tap
[25:11]
of a button,
[25:12]
ExpressVPN
[25:12]
lets you change
[25:13]
your location
[25:14]

ExpressVPN

your shows
[25:26]
on the big screen
[25:28]
with zero buffering.
[25:30]
So stop paying
[25:31]
full price.
[25:32]
What?
[25:33]
Who?
Stuart Wellington
[25:33]
What?
[25:34]
I see Elliot
[25:34]
over there
[25:35]
contemplating
[25:35]
what the difference
[25:36]
is between
[25:37]
Fresh Prince
[25:38]
in Australia is.
[25:40]
I think it's
[25:40]
because it takes
[25:41]
place in Sydney.
[25:42]
Bel-Air is
[25:43]
a suburb of Sydney.
Dan McCoy
[25:45]
Let's just clarify
[25:46]
for a moment.
[25:47]
This is not
[25:48]
an Australian version
[25:50]
of Fresh Prince.
[25:51]
No, but I'd love
[25:52]
the idea
[25:52]
if they dubbed it
[25:53]
in Australia.
[25:53]
Perhaps starring Yahoo
[25:53]
series.
[25:55]
This is the Fresh Prince
[25:58]
we all grew up with
[26:00]
starring one
[26:01]
William Smith
[26:01]
and it just may not
[26:03]
be available
[26:04]
on Netflix
[26:04]
in the US
[26:05]
due to rights issues,
[26:06]
but you can get it
[26:07]
on Netflix Australia.
[26:08]
Dan, I'm going to tell you
Elliott Kalan
[26:10]
a little horror story
[26:11]
that might terrify
[26:12]
our listeners.
[26:13]
Years ago,
[26:14]
I was in a little
[26:14]
country called
[26:15]
England,
[26:17]
the United Kingdom.
[26:18]
I was in the city
[26:18]
of London.
[26:19]
I was doing the dishes
[26:20]
and I looked up
[26:22]
Netflix on my iPad
[26:23]
or maybe it was
[26:24]
my laptop even
[26:24]
because back then
[26:25]
I think I didn't
[26:25]
have an iPad.
[26:26]
What was available
[26:27]
on Netflix
[26:27]
but the movie
[26:28]
Miracle Mile.
[26:29]
I've heard so much
[26:30]
about that movie
[26:30]
for years.
[26:31]
I've always wanted
[26:31]
to see it.
[26:32]
I started watching it,
[26:33]
didn't get to finish it
[26:34]
before the trip was over.
[26:36]
No worries.
[26:36]
I said when I get home
[26:37]
I will finish
[26:38]
watching the movie
[26:38]
on Netflix
[26:39]
at home.
[26:41]
But Dan,
[26:42]
when I looked at it,
[26:43]
when I looked at Netflix
[26:44]
in America,
[26:45]
was Miracle Mile
[26:46]
available?
[26:47]
It was not, Dan.
[26:48]
It was not.
[26:50]
And to this day,
[26:51]
I have still
[26:52]
never seen
[26:52]
the second half
[26:53]
of Miracle Mile.
[26:55]
Don't be like me.
[26:56]
Don't be like me,
[26:57]
listeners.
[26:57]
Learn from my mistakes.
[26:59]
Express VPN.
[27:00]
And no spoilers.
[27:02]
What happens to Anthony?
[27:02]
Don't tell me
[27:03]
what happens
[27:03]
in the end
[27:04]
of Miracle Mile.
Dan McCoy
[27:06]
Yeah, so
[27:07]
if this interests
[27:08]
you,
[27:09]
stop paying full price
[27:10]
for streaming services
[27:11]
and only getting access
[27:12]

[27:13]

[27:35]
But now,
[27:36]
guys,
[27:37]
let's return
[27:37]
to this game.
[27:39]
Yeah, it's close.
[27:40]
If you'll recall
[27:41]
from before the break,
[27:42]
it is very close.
[27:43]
Elliot has one,
[27:44]
Stuart has zero.
[27:45]
Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[27:46]
You can turn this around,
[27:47]
Stu,
[27:47]
or perhaps I'll open up
[27:48]
an even more
[27:49]
insurmountable lead.
Stuart Wellington
[27:50]
I certainly can't get worse,
[27:52]
right?
[27:52]
I can't lose points,
[27:53]
right?
[27:54]
I don't know.
Elliott Kalan
[27:55]
Dan's the crazy games master
[27:57]
who has his own
[27:58]
mixed up
Stuart Wellington
[27:59]
Alice in Wonderland rules.
[28:01]
A real arcade fellow.
Dan McCoy
[28:03]
I'm going to open this one
[28:04]
to you first
[28:06]
because you're behind.
[28:08]
Here's a goof.
[28:10]
Oh, man.
[28:12]
A caption.
Elliott Kalan
[28:13]
I love,
[28:13]
wait, wait.
[28:14]
I like Dan ahead of time
[28:15]
salivating over
[28:16]
just like,
[28:16]
just like savoring this goof.
Dan McCoy
[28:20]
Love a good goof.
[28:22]
A caption reads,
[28:24]
Thursday.
[28:25]
And then shortly afterwards,
[28:27]
we see Wendy and Danny
[28:28]
watching the Roadrunner show
[28:30]
with its distinctive theme song.
[28:33]
In the late 70s,
[28:34]
that show
[28:35]
played only on
[28:37]
Saturday mornings.
[28:38]
Oof.
[28:39]
What a goof.
[28:41]
Stuart,
[28:42]
what movie?
Stuart Wellington
[28:44]
Wendy and Danny
[28:45]
in the 70s.
[28:47]
It's got to be
[28:47]
Forrest Gump, baby.
[28:49]
Oh, God.
Dan McCoy
[28:52]
I see Stuart's game
[28:53]
and I appreciate it.
[28:54]
I appreciate that he realizes
[28:56]
that the competition
[28:58]
is less important
[28:59]
than the fun
[28:59]
and the friends
[29:00]
we make along the way.
[29:03]
Yeah, right?
[29:05]
So is that your answer, Stuart?
[29:06]
Yeah.
[29:07]
Okay.
[29:08]
Elliot, what do you got?
Elliott Kalan
[29:09]
Show me Zodiac.
Dan McCoy
[29:12]
Oh, okay.
[29:13]
Well,
[29:14]
similarly fun movies.
[29:16]
Apparently,
[29:17]
we're both
[29:18]
throwing the competition.
[29:21]
The answer, of course,
[29:22]
is...
Stuart Wellington
[29:22]
Both examples of directors
[29:23]
working at the top
[29:24]
of their game.
Dan McCoy
[29:25]
The answer is
[29:26]
The Shining.
[29:28]
Wendy and Danny
[29:29]
are watching
[29:30]
The Roadrunner Show.
[29:32]
Right.
[29:34]
Right.
[29:35]
That's that movie
Elliott Kalan
[29:35]
about how they
[29:36]
fake the moon landing.
[29:38]
Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[29:39]
Okay.
[29:39]
We got two more goofs, guys.
[29:42]
Two more.
[29:43]
These are the primo ones.
[29:44]
Oh, man.
[29:46]
Yeah, yeah.
[29:46]
We've been edging
[29:47]
this whole time.
[29:50]
When Nick is playing
[29:53]
the board game
[29:54]
Game of Life
[29:55]
with Margo,
[29:56]
he lands on the
[29:57]
marriage block
[29:58]
and adds the wife peg
[30:00]
to his car.
[30:02]
He then hands off
[30:03]
to Margo for her turn,
[30:05]
neglecting that
[30:06]
in the rules for the game,
[30:08]
one makes another
[30:10]
honeymoon spin
[30:11]
immediately after
[30:13]
getting married.
[30:15]
Guys,
[30:15]
can you believe
[30:16]
that this goof
[30:17]
made it
[30:18]
on screen?
Elliott Kalan
[30:20]
How did that get
[30:21]
to the final cut?
[30:22]
I hope someone
[30:22]
got fired for that.
[30:23]
I don't really.
[30:24]
I don't.
Stuart Wellington
[30:25]
Guys,
[30:25]
I was watching,
[30:27]
my wife and I
[30:28]
started re-watching
[30:29]
The Sopranos
[30:30]
and in like
[30:31]
the first episode
[30:32]
there's this great scene
[30:33]
where Anthony Jr.
[30:34]
is playing Mario Kart
[30:35]
and Tony comes in
[30:36]
and sits down
[30:37]
next to him
[30:37]
and starts
[30:38]
playing Mario Kart
[30:40]
with one hand
[30:41]
and I'm like,
[30:42]
dude,
[30:42]
you can't do that.
Elliott Kalan
[30:44]
What the fuck?
[30:47]
Well,
[30:47]
what you can't see
[30:48]
is his character
[30:49]
is just slamming
[30:50]
into a wall
[30:50]
over and over again.
[30:53]
Now,
[30:53]
if I may,
[30:54]
before we reveal
[30:55]
our answers,
[30:56]
I will say
[30:57]
the Game of Life
[30:58]
and I have
[30:58]
a tumultuous history.
[30:59]
I loved it as a kid
[31:00]
and it was recently
[31:01]
a favorite of my older son
[31:03]
and we had to ban it
[31:05]
in the house
[31:06]
because it was giving him
[31:07]
too strong an idea
[31:08]
that the point of life
[31:09]
is money
[31:09]
and that you should be able
[31:10]
to like trade in
[31:11]
family members
[31:12]
for money.
[31:13]
It was,
[31:14]
he was getting
[31:15]
a little too money focused
[31:16]
so we had to take
[31:16]
the Game of Life
[31:17]
out of his hands.
[31:19]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[31:21]
Sounds like,
[31:22]
that's like shorthand
[31:23]
for murdering someone,
[31:24]
right?
[31:25]
Oh yeah,
[31:25]
they were his cold dead hands.
[31:26]
Took the Game of Life
[31:27]
out of your hands.
Dan McCoy
[31:31]
Allie,
[31:31]
you were up first
[31:32]
for this one.
[31:33]
Do you need
[31:33]
any refreshers?
[31:35]
Do you understand?
Elliott Kalan
[31:35]
So Nick and Margo,
[31:37]
this is really teaching me
[31:38]
that I do not remember
[31:39]
the names of characters
[31:40]
from movies
[31:41]
as well as I thought I did.
[31:43]
So they're playing
[31:44]
the Game of Life
[31:44]
so it's not a period picture.
[31:47]
It's not like Pride and Prejudice,
[31:49]
you know,
[31:50]
or Sense and Sensibility,
[31:51]
or Emma,
[31:52]
or Northanger Abbey,
[31:54]
but I know it's a Jane Austen movie
[31:56]
so Clueless.
[31:58]
Okay.
Dan McCoy
[31:59]
And Stuart,
[32:00]
what do you have to say?
Stuart Wellington
[32:02]
Is it,
[32:02]
this is an actual guess.
[32:04]
Most of the,
[32:05]
you know,
[32:05]
guys have been fucking around
[32:06]
a lot tonight,
[32:07]
you know.
[32:08]
Yeah.
[32:08]
I haven't really been
[32:09]
playing the game.
[32:10]
I've been kind of
[32:11]
stunting on y'all,
[32:12]
but I'm going to actually guess
[32:15]
is it the Royal Tenenbaums?
Dan McCoy
[32:18]
Ooh,
[32:19]
there is a Margo
[32:20]
and that,
[32:21]
fuck.
[32:21]
Wait,
Stuart Wellington
[32:22]
wait,
[32:22]
Dan,
[32:22]
can I,
[32:23]
can I change my answer?
[32:24]
I was honest for a fucking chance.
[32:26]
I removed,
[32:26]
I removed all the irony
[32:28]
and I tried
[32:29]
and I fucked up.
Dan McCoy
[32:31]
That was your mistake.
[32:32]
Shouldn't have done that.
[32:33]
I'll give,
[32:34]
I'll give you,
[32:35]
I'll give you a chance,
[32:36]
Elliot.
[32:36]
What,
[32:37]
what,
[32:37]
do you have one more guess?
[32:38]
Show me Zodiac.
[32:41]
No.
[32:42]
This is,
[32:43]
this is from the movie
[32:46]
Gone Girl
[32:47]
written by her friend
[32:49]
Gillian Flynn.
[32:50]
Sorry,
[32:50]
Gillian,
[32:51]
you done goof.
[32:52]
You goofed it.
[32:53]
Look up the rules
[32:55]
of the game of life.
[32:56]
Gillian,
[32:57]
we're like goofian.
[32:59]
Uh-huh.
[33:00]
Oh,
[33:00]
man,
[33:01]
how embarrassing.
[33:02]
I'm sorry to call you out
[33:04]
publicly like this.
Elliott Kalan
[33:06]
But,
[33:06]
man,
[33:07]
this is like the scene
[33:08]
in the Philadelphia story
[33:09]
when,
[33:10]
when Catherine Hepburn
[33:11]
declares she's won
[33:12]
a game of connecting four.
[33:13]
Connect four
[33:13]
after only connecting three.
Dan McCoy
[33:17]
All right,
[33:18]
so,
[33:18]
uh,
[33:20]
uh,
[33:20]
Stuart,
[33:20]
I'm afraid you cannot win
[33:21]
at this point.
[33:22]
You can only tie.
[33:24]
That's fine.
[33:25]
But,
Stuart Wellington
[33:26]
although I think you're
[33:27]
giving me too much credit.
Dan McCoy
[33:29]
Well,
[33:30]
it's possible that the last one
[33:32]
is a joke one
[33:33]
that is easy to get,
[33:34]
so,
[33:35]
uh,
[33:36]
I'm gonna,
[33:36]
I'm gonna open this one.
[33:38]
We can only hope.
[33:38]
I can open,
[33:39]
I'm gonna open this one up
[33:40]
for Stuart
[33:41]
first,
[33:43]
and then if he gets it,
[33:45]
you know what,
[33:46]
we're just ending in a tie
[33:47]
and everyone wins,
[33:48]
uh,
[33:49]
the joy of friendship.
[33:50]
So,
[33:50]
pull your jets,
[33:51]
Elliot.
[33:51]
I know you're getting all excited
[33:52]
in your chair over there.
[33:53]
I understand.
Elliott Kalan
[33:53]
I'm getting ready to yell,
[33:54]
show me Zodiac again.
[33:56]
Dan,
[33:56]
so you're saying if we don't tie,
[33:57]
we don't get friendship?
[33:59]
Like,
[33:59]
that's the end of our friendship
[34:00]
and I can never talk to Stuart again?
[34:02]
No,
Dan McCoy
[34:02]
I'm just saying the moral,
[34:03]
the moral of the facts.
Stuart Wellington
[34:03]
That's the stakes.
[34:04]
They're high,
[34:05]
but I like it.
[34:06]
Yeah.
[34:07]
All right,
[34:08]
so then guys,
[34:08]
I think I'm developing
[34:09]
a gambling addiction
[34:10]
because of this episode.
Elliott Kalan
[34:14]
Somehow Dan walks away
[34:15]
owning the bar tomorrow.
[34:16]
He's like,
[34:17]
I wasn't even playing.
Stuart Wellington
[34:18]
Uh-huh,
[34:18]
and like three of my fingers.
Elliott Kalan
[34:22]
Everyone's jonesing for goofs.
[34:24]
Yeah,
[34:24]
the next,
[34:25]
the next game Dan wants to play
[34:26]
is lighting his lighter
[34:27]
with one hand.
Dan McCoy
[34:30]
Yeah.
[34:30]
Oh,
[34:31]
what a great story that is.
[34:32]
Okay,
[34:33]
here we go.
[34:35]
Last question.
[34:37]
Here's the goof.
Elliott Kalan
[34:39]
Wait,
[34:39]
wait,
[34:40]
I want that to be your new catchphrase
[34:43]
for someone to make a soundboard
[34:44]
because the way you said it just now,
Stuart Wellington
[34:45]
here's the goof.
[34:46]
So full of bravado
Elliott Kalan
[34:48]
and gruff confidence.
[34:49]
Here's the goof.
[34:51]
Yeah.
[34:53]
Here it is,
[34:53]
guys.
[34:53]
Buckle up.
[34:54]
Yeah,
[34:54]
it's Dan's love language.
[34:55]
Here's the goof.
[34:56]
Audrey's like,
Stuart Wellington
[34:57]
Dan,
[34:57]
I found a new goof for you
[34:58]
and he's like,
[34:59]
oh,
[34:59]
baby.
[35:00]
And his fucking flip takes
[35:02]
out of the panel.
Elliott Kalan
[35:03]
Yeah,
[35:03]
it's celebrating their anniversary
[35:05]
and he's like,
[35:06]
show me the goof.
[35:11]
All right,
[35:11]
well,
[35:12]
here's a goof for you.
[35:13]
I got you a box
[35:14]
of brand new goofs.
[35:17]
A new spring goof.
[35:19]
You can print it out
[35:20]
and cut out of paper.
[35:21]
It's like,
[35:22]
I'm sorry,
[35:22]
guys,
[35:22]
I'm in a bad mood.
[35:23]
I lost an eBay auction
[35:24]
for a vintage goof.
[35:25]
I'd been looking,
[35:26]
I had my eye on this one
[35:27]
for a while.
[35:29]
The bidding got real high.
[35:29]
I was up till 3.30
[35:30]
in the morning
[35:31]
trying to snipe this goof.
Dan McCoy
[35:34]
Okay,
[35:35]
here we go.
[35:35]
Here we go.
[35:36]
All right,
[35:37]
last one.
[35:39]
Obviously,
[35:40]
a driver's head instructor
[35:41]
would never allow
[35:43]
or order a student driver
[35:45]
to give someone the bird.
Stuart Wellington
[35:49]
Guys,
[35:49]
I just watched this
[35:50]
the other day,
[35:51]
so I know it.
[35:52]
It's so obvious.
[35:54]
It's Disney's Onward
[35:55]
or Pixar's Onward.
[35:57]
Shut up.
Dan McCoy
[35:59]
Do you know,
[35:59]
do you know,
[36:01]
do you know,
[36:01]
do you know what you want to explain it?
Stuart Wellington
[36:05]
What,
[36:06]
summer school?
Elliott Kalan
[36:08]
Okay,
[36:08]
Ellie,
[36:09]
do you have it?
[36:09]
I can see the scene
[36:10]
and yet I'm having trouble
[36:11]
remembering exactly
[36:12]
what it's,
[36:14]
oh wait,
[36:14]
uh,
Stuart Wellington
[36:15]
What,
[36:16]
like police academy?
[36:17]
What are we talking about?
Dan McCoy
[36:18]
Obviously,
[36:19]
a driver's head instructor
[36:20]
would never allow
[36:22]
or order
[36:22]
a student driver
[36:24]
to give someone
[36:25]
the bird.
Elliott Kalan
[36:27]
Dan,
[36:28]
Dan,
[36:29]
I'm just,
[36:29]
it's just not coming to me,
[36:30]
so I gotta say it.
[36:31]
I apologize.
[36:31]
Show me Zodiac.
Dan McCoy
[36:33]
No,
[36:34]
it's,
[36:34]
it's the naked gun
[36:35]
from the files
[36:36]
of police squad.
[36:37]
The naked gun,
[36:38]
that's right.
Dan McCoy
[36:38]
What a goof.
[36:39]
That's right,
[36:40]
the naked gun.
[36:40]
That literal goof was.
[36:43]
Man,
[36:43]
I feel like they're writing
[36:44]
that goof,
[36:45]
they didn't consider
[36:46]
the fact that it was
[36:48]
too goofy.
Elliott Kalan
[36:49]
In real life,
[36:50]
gripping the penis
[36:51]
of a statue
[36:51]
carved into the side
[36:52]
of a building
[36:53]
would not give it pleasure
[36:54]
and change its face
[36:55]
to a smile.
[36:56]
In real life,
[36:57]
a marble penis
[37:00]
would not bend
[37:01]
in that way.
[37:02]
In real life,
[37:02]
applying a sanding machine
[37:04]
to the birthmark
[37:05]
on the buttock
[37:06]
of a famous,
[37:08]
what is it,
[37:08]
a scientist?
[37:09]
I don't remember,
[37:09]
would create,
[37:10]
I don't know.
[37:11]
at best,
[37:12]
mild abrasion
[37:12]
and at worst,
[37:13]
a serious injury.
[37:14]
Not no effect
[37:16]
as it has in this.
[37:18]
So,
[37:19]
in real life,
[37:20]
here's the goof,
[37:20]
in real life,
[37:21]
in real life,
[37:22]
a detective
[37:23]
with Frank Drebin's record
[37:24]
would have been fired
[37:25]
from the police force.
Dan McCoy
[37:26]
years ago.
[37:28]
That was,
[37:28]
that was essentially
[37:30]
one of the last ones.
[37:31]
It was like,
[37:32]
it was like,
[37:33]
obviously,
[37:34]
this movie
[37:35]
is a satire
[37:36]
of crazy,
[37:38]
like,
[37:38]
overconfident cops,
[37:39]
but in real life,
[37:41]
someone would have known
[37:41]
that Nordberg
[37:42]
was undercover
[37:43]
and it's like,
[37:44]
okay, great.
[37:45]
You understand
[37:46]
that it's a comedy,
[37:47]
but you somehow
[37:48]
can't take the next step.
[37:50]
In real life,
Elliott Kalan
[37:50]
Ayatollah Khomeini
[37:51]
would not have had
[37:52]
a mohawk
[37:52]
under his turban.
[37:54]
Now,
[37:55]
but you're right,
[37:56]
I totally should have
[37:57]
known that there was
[37:57]
Naked Gun.
[37:58]
I couldn't remember
[37:58]
which of the like,
[37:59]
which of the like,
[38:00]
Zucker type movies it was.
Dan McCoy
[38:02]
You know what,
[38:03]
Elliot,
[38:04]
it doesn't matter.
[38:04]
You still,
[38:05]
you still wanted a blowout
[38:06]
of one to zero.
[38:08]
So,
Stuart Wellington
[38:09]
yeah,
[38:09]
I mean,
[38:11]
yeah,
[38:11]
I'm toast.
[38:12]
So,
[38:12]
I guess we're not friends
[38:14]
anymore,
[38:15]
Elliot.
[38:15]
Do you have any?
Elliott Kalan
[38:16]
I mean,
[38:17]
to be honest,
[38:17]
if I'd known those
[38:18]
were the rules of the game
[38:19]
before I started playing,
[38:20]
I might not have played,
[38:21]
but the game is the game,
[38:23]
you know,
[38:23]
and you gotta,
[38:23]
I can't hate the player.
[38:25]
Why would I?
[38:26]
He was my friend
[38:26]
until a minute ago
[38:27]
when he lost.
[38:29]
It's that I'll hate the game.
Stuart Wellington
[38:30]
It's all about the journey,
[38:32]
the in-game experience
[38:33]
as opposed to the end results.
[38:34]
Like,
[38:35]
it's fine.
[38:35]
Yeah,
[38:35]
exactly.
Elliott Kalan
[38:37]
I guess this is a real
[38:38]
gamer gate situation
[38:39]
in that we were the gamers
[38:40]
and now there's a gate between us
[38:41]
and we can no longer
[38:42]
hang out again.
[38:43]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[38:44]
And every time,
[38:45]
every time I see graffiti
[38:47]
hastily scrawled
[38:49]
across the walls
[38:50]
of New York City
[38:51]
that say,
[38:52]
show me Zodiac,
[38:53]
I'll think of you.
[38:55]
Thank you.
Elliott Kalan
[38:55]
I appreciate that.
[38:56]
I think that will be my tag
[38:58]
from now on.
[38:58]
I went with,
[39:00]
I took my family out
[39:02]
on a trip somewhere
[39:03]
where there would be
[39:03]
the other day
[39:04]
where there was a lot of graffiti
[39:05]
on a wall
[39:06]
and Sammy was like,
[39:07]
why do they have that there?
[39:08]
I'm like,
[39:08]
oh,
[39:08]
those are the tags
[39:09]
that the graffiti people put
[39:10]
and each person has their own tag
[39:11]
and he goes,
[39:11]
we don't have a tag.
[39:13]
So I was like,
[39:14]
should we have one?
[39:15]
Like,
[39:15]
should our family have one?
Dan McCoy
[39:17]
You gotta think about branding.
[39:18]
Yeah.
[39:19]
I guess now it's show me Zodiac.
[39:21]
Yeah.
[39:22]
Everyone,
[39:23]
I,
[39:23]
you know,
[39:23]
I think you can.
[39:25]
Gotta think about branding,
[39:26]
Brandon.
[39:27]
We need to talk about branding,
[39:29]
Kevin.
Stuart Wellington
[39:29]
I mean,
[39:32]
that probably would have put him
[39:33]
in line,
[39:33]
you know?
[39:34]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[39:35]
The idea,
[39:35]
the idea that the principal's like,
[39:37]
we need to talk about Kevin.
[39:38]
His branding is poor.
[39:40]
He has very little,
[39:42]
very little market penetration,
[39:44]
very little brand recognition.
Stuart Wellington
[39:45]
Very bow and arrow based.
[39:47]
Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[39:49]
I feel like he's not,
[39:50]
he's not creating Graham opportunities for himself
[39:53]
to get his,
[39:54]
to get his ideas out there.
[39:55]
Sure.
Dan McCoy
[39:56]
There's a lot of buzz around him,
[39:58]
but it's mostly from his mom
[40:00]
about how she doesn't really like him.
[40:02]
Mm-hmm.
Elliott Kalan
[40:04]
Okay.
[40:04]
Well,
[40:04]
I don't want people to just say,
[40:06]
we need to talk about Kevin.
[40:08]
I want people to say,
[40:09]
we need to do everything about Kevin.
[40:11]
We need to make Kevin part of our,
[40:13]
every aspect of our lives.
[40:14]
We want to live that Kevin lifestyle.
[40:16]
Yeah.
[40:18]
A wonderful harrowing movie.
[40:19]
What if there's some guy who's like,
[40:21]
someone's like,
[40:22]
what Kevin did?
[40:22]
Oh,
[40:23]
that was terrible.
[40:23]
And he goes,
[40:23]
yeah,
[40:24]
but we're talking about him.
[40:27]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[40:28]
And he looks at the camera
[40:30]
and he freezes
[40:32]
and you think about,
[40:33]
you know,
[40:34]
modern culture
[40:36]
and the way society has,
[40:37]
what society has done to us
[40:38]
as it irises in on his eye.
[40:40]
Uh-huh.
Stuart Wellington
[40:41]
I mean,
[40:42]
the whole time I'm thinking,
[40:43]
that kid is made out of the soup
[40:45]
of John C. Reilly
[40:46]
and Tilda Swinton.
[40:47]
Amazing.
[40:48]
The soup.
[40:51]
Mm-hmm.
[40:51]
Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[40:53]
Give me a cup of that.
[40:54]
Okay.
[40:54]
Well,
[40:56]
I think,
[40:57]
I think my enjoyment
[40:59]
at inflicting this on you guys
[41:02]
is palpable.
[41:02]
So,
[41:03]
I appreciate you playing along.
[41:05]
Uh-huh.
[41:06]
Thanks to all who were
[41:07]
playing along at home,
[41:08]
yelling at your,
[41:09]
I'm sure a lot of people
Elliott Kalan
[41:10]
knew the answers before we did.
[41:11]
Those were some hard goofs for me,
[41:12]
but I'm sure the audience at home
[41:14]
was like,
[41:15]
what?
[41:15]
What?
Dan McCoy
[41:17]
How can I remember?
[41:17]
I,
[41:18]
I,
[41:18]
I,
[41:18]
I,
Elliott Kalan
[41:18]
that Margo was in that movie.
Dan McCoy
[41:20]
I did pump up the difficulty
[41:22]
because last time,
[41:23]
you know,
[41:23]
last time was to sort of
[41:25]
tantalize you at this time.
Stuart Wellington
[41:27]
Yeah,
[41:27]
and build up our confidence too much.
[41:29]
Make us feel like we could
[41:30]
take on the entire world of goofs.
Elliott Kalan
[41:32]
Yeah,
[41:32]
yeah,
Elliott Kalan
[41:32]
yeah,
[41:32]
exactly.
[41:34]
And yet,
[41:35]
and yet,
[41:35]
uh,
[41:36]
our wings,
[41:37]
we flew too close to the goof sun
[41:38]
and our goof wings have melted.
[41:40]
We've fallen into the goof ocean.
[41:44]
A bunch of goofy goobers.
[41:47]
Well,
[41:48]
I wouldn't go that far,
[41:49]
but okay.
Dan McCoy
[41:50]
Thank you all for listening.
[41:50]
Someone is trying to wreck friendships.
[41:53]
Thank you to everyone.
[41:56]
Uh,
[41:57]
thank you to maximum fun.
[41:59]
Our network,
[42:00]
go to maximum fun.
[42:02]
Dot org to check out,
[42:04]
uh,
[42:04]
other,
[42:05]
uh,
[42:06]
max fun podcasts.
[42:07]
I know that Elliot has a comic book on sale now.
[42:12]
I'm sure he would like to say a little bit about
Elliott Kalan
[42:14]
Maniac of New York.
[42:16]
Uh,
[42:16]
number one,
[42:17]
actually,
[42:17]
uh,
[42:17]
when this issue,
[42:18]
when this episode comes out,
[42:19]
it might be a little hard to find.
[42:21]
It's been selling really well,
[42:22]
but it was just announced today.
[42:23]
It will be going back for a second printing,
[42:24]
which should be available around the time of the second issue.
[42:28]
Maniac of New York.
[42:29]
Number one,
[42:29]
if you can find it,
[42:30]
it's great.
[42:31]
It's,
[42:31]
uh,
[42:32]
Jason takes Manhattan meets the wire.
[42:34]
Uh,
[42:34]
what if instead of the wire being about drugs in Baltimore,
[42:36]
it was about a mass killer terrorizing New York.
[42:39]
And,
[42:40]
uh,
[42:40]
the art is,
[42:41]
uh,
[42:42]
beautiful.
[42:42]
It's by Andre.
[42:43]
It's beautiful.
[42:43]
Yeah.
[42:44]
And,
[42:44]
uh,
[42:44]
it comes from Aftershock comics and it is,
[42:48]
if you can find it,
[42:49]
a fun read.
[42:51]
And issue two comes out March 8th,
[42:54]
I believe.
[42:54]
So if you missed issue one,
[42:55]
pick up issue two and you'll hopefully be able to catch,
[42:59]
up with the story.
[43:00]
And if you,
[43:00]
and I mean,
Stuart Wellington
[43:01]
if you missed the physical copy,
[43:02]
you can find it on,
[43:04]
you can find it digitally on comiXology.
[43:06]
Yeah,
[43:06]
I think so.
[43:07]
Yeah.
[43:07]
I think it's just,
[43:08]
I mean,
[43:08]
I did.
[43:09]
Uh,
[43:10]
yeah,
[43:10]
it's great.
[43:11]
I'd recommend it.
Dan McCoy
[43:13]
And Stuart,
[43:14]
how's,
[43:14]
uh,
[43:14]
how's your stuff?
[43:15]
What's going on?
Stuart Wellington
[43:16]
Well,
[43:16]
Stuart Wellington has been recently half vaccinated.
[43:19]
Baby.
[43:20]
Uh-oh.
[43:21]
I got some of that good Dolly Parton juice in my arm.
[43:24]
That's right.
[43:24]
Moderna vaccine.
[43:25]
I got the first shot.
[43:26]
Second shot scheduled.
[43:28]
Cause I don't know if you guys know this,
[43:29]
but podcasters are essential workers.
[43:31]
No,
[43:32]
that's not why.
[43:33]
No,
[43:34]
no,
[43:34]
no,
[43:34]
no.
[43:34]
Before they get mad.
[43:35]
I'm a,
[43:36]
I'm a bar and restaurant,
[43:37]
uh,
[43:38]
worker.
[43:39]
And in New York,
[43:40]
they made it available for us to get the vaccine.
[43:42]
And I think it's the responsible thing to do for everyone who can get the vaccine to try and get it.
[43:48]
So I got lucky and put,
[43:51]
uh,
[43:51]
my wife put a bunch of work into the vaccine portal,
[43:55]
which is not easy.
[43:57]
And we were able to schedule a vaccine appointment for me.
[44:00]
So I took it,
[44:03]
uh,
[44:04]
since I'd previously had COVID,
[44:05]
uh,
[44:06]
I had a kind of a rough time with it.
[44:09]
The first day was pretty difficult.
[44:11]
I was pretty,
[44:11]
uh,
[44:12]
fatigued,
[44:12]
but I'm feeling better now,
[44:14]
obviously based on my performance on tonight's game.
[44:18]
And,
Dan McCoy
[44:18]
uh,
[44:19]
would you say the takeaway from this episode is Stuart Wellington stronger than ever before?
[44:26]
That's the thing.
Stuart Wellington
[44:27]
Uh,
[44:28]
yeah.
[44:28]
I mean,
[44:29]
right before we started,
[44:30]
I was doing squats and pushups.
[44:32]
I'm getting pumped.
[44:33]
I'm ready to,
[44:34]
uh,
[44:34]
I'm ready to tie like a bandana around my forehead so I can battle some enemies.
[44:39]
Mm hmm.
[44:40]
Mm hmm.
Elliott Kalan
[44:41]
You can't see.
[44:41]
Well,
[44:42]
I get,
[44:42]
but Stuart right now is bending a paperclip into a bow so that he can fight off some gremlins in the clamp building.
[44:48]
Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[44:50]
Uh,
[44:50]
well,
[44:50]
I just,
[44:50]
I just,
[44:51]
I just remember that about 10 minutes ago.
[44:53]
No,
[44:53]
not the lady gremlin.
Elliott Kalan
[44:54]
She's going to find love with Robert Picardo.
[44:55]
She's the good girl.
[44:56]
I don't want to stop that.
[44:57]
No.
Dan McCoy
[44:58]
Yeah.
[44:59]
Uh,
[44:59]
no,
[44:59]
I just remembered that we were trying to end this.
[45:01]
So,
[45:01]
um,
[45:02]
you know,
[45:02]
by the way,
Stuart Wellington
[45:03]
I think the lady gremlin and Robert Picardo and inner space are basically the same character.
[45:08]
I need to examine this a little bit more,
[45:10]
but I think they're very similar.
Elliott Kalan
[45:11]
I think you have a master's thesis.
[45:12]
Let's get to work on it.
[45:14]
Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[45:14]
I think that's the presentation for the next,
Elliott Kalan
[45:16]
uh,
[45:16]
live show.
[45:17]
do you have anything to promote?
[45:18]
Uh,
[45:18]
do you want to tell people about your,
[45:19]
your Jon Stewart packet that I'm sure you were writing up for his,
[45:22]
for his new show?
[45:23]
I was texting.
Dan McCoy
[45:24]
Yeah.
[45:24]
I was texting Elliot.
[45:25]
I'm like,
[45:25]
why is Jon Stewart packet?
[45:27]
Like,
[45:27]
I think that's trending.
[45:29]
This is like,
[45:30]
we both agreed.
[45:30]
It was such like an inside baseball thing.
[45:32]
So this,
[45:33]
uh,
[45:33]
that'll mark when,
[45:34]
uh,
[45:34]
this episode came out.
[45:36]
If you are on Twitter and you vaguely saw people talking about the Jon Stewart packet.
[45:40]
When I saw it,
[45:40]
I'm like,
Stuart Wellington
[45:41]
is that the name of the next digital underground album?
[45:44]
Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[45:46]
Uh,
[45:47]
no,
[45:47]
I got nothing to plug.
[45:48]
I'm just here.
[45:49]
You know,
[45:49]
I got a new kitten.
[45:50]
It's pretty cute.
[45:51]
That's what's going on.
[45:53]
We're all enamored of the new kitten.
[45:55]
Yeah,
[45:55]
yeah.
[45:56]
Uh,
[45:56]
but anyway,
[45:57]
so,
[45:57]
uh,
[45:58]
if you liked this,
[45:59]
maybe listen to a,
[46:00]
a normal episode.

a young,
[46:14]
healthy podcast with growing bones.
[46:17]
That's what kids have,
[46:18]
right?
[46:19]
They do,
[46:19]
they do have growing bones.
[46:21]
That's true.
[46:21]
They can grow and split their skin.
[46:24]
Just like,
[46:24]
sorta.
[46:25]
No,
Elliott Kalan
[46:26]
no,
[46:26]
the skin grows with the bones.
[46:28]
Unless they're marrow of the X-Men,
[46:30]
but that's one case in particular,
[46:32]
you know?
Dan McCoy
[46:34]
All right.
[46:34]

Damn.
