Stuart Wellington
[0:00] Hey! Welcome to another Flophouse mini, a mini episode of the Flophouse podcast, a podcast that's normally about bad movies.
[0:13] But tonight, we're doing a mini. That's a shortened episode where we're going to be doing something else.
[0:19] Tonight, I'm going to be your host. My name is Stuart Wellington, and joining me are...
[0:23] Dan McCoy.
[0:24] Elliot Charles Kalin.
[0:26] Lovely. So, if you're a long-time listener...
Elliott Kalan
[0:29] I guess I'm the only one brave enough to reveal my middle name.
Stuart Wellington
[0:31] Okay, what's your middle name?
[0:32] Kirk.
[0:33] Mine is Lenton. No fake, it's Lenton.
[0:36] Yeah.
[0:37] Stuart Lenton Wellington.
[0:38] So, Stuart Lenton Wellington is talking, and I'm going to continue.
[0:42] So, if you're a long-time listener of the Flophouse, you know that we've been around a while, and it might be time for a change.
[0:48] My co-hosts have been pushing me. They say, you know what?
[0:51] It's time for us to shift over to a more popular form of entertainment.
[0:55] Time to turn into a sketch comedy show.
[0:58] Ooh.
[0:59] Sketch comedy show, and what every good sketch comedy show...
[1:02] Very popular. That's why there's so many of them.
[1:03] Yep, and they're all successful and never have stinker seasons or episodes.
Elliott Kalan
[1:08] So...
[1:08] Even the most successful sketch comedy show of all time is, I would say, mostly stinkers.
[1:13] The Ben Stiller show is mostly stinkers?
Stuart Wellington
[1:15] Okay, well...
[1:16] Okay, I guess in your America.
[1:18] Now, an essential element of every sketch comedy show is impressions, right?
[1:26] People love impressions, whether it's...
[1:27] Yeah, Monty Python's pretty impression-based.
[1:29] Rich Little?
[1:31] Michael Winslow?
[1:32] The impression of Rich Little?
[1:33] Oh.
[1:33] These are not sketch performers, necessarily.
[1:35] People love impressions.
[1:38] So, one of the things the Flop House needs to brush up on...
Elliott Kalan
[1:40] I thought you didn't have a third example.
[1:43] Rob Brydon...
Stuart Wellington
[1:43] Michael Winslow does impressions of sounds, I guess?
[1:46] Rob Brydon and Steve Cooges.
[1:48] Okay, fair.
[1:49] Fair.
[1:49] I got it.
[1:50] It's true.
[1:50] And I got...
[1:51] That's a twofer.
[1:51] It is a twofer.
[1:52] It's a twofer.
[1:53] It's two people.
[1:53] Twofer.
[1:55] So, what we're going to do tonight is we're going to work on our impressions, because I
[2:00] think the Flop House needs to up its game.
[2:02] And the way we're going to do it...
[2:03] It's funny that I say game, because we're going to be doing an impressions game.
[2:07] Oh, dear Lord.
[2:09] That's why I insisted we all get alcoholic beverages for this episode.
[2:13] Yeah.
[2:14] Just to break down the walls, to loosen up, you know, get nasty.
[2:22] Okay, so, in front of me are two stacks of cards.
[2:28] One of them is a stack of cards that are the names of celebrities or characters from movies.
[2:35] This was a list that was collected by my wife, Charlene.
[2:39] So, if they're bad or wrong, she's to blame.
[2:42] Not me.
[2:42] I'm off scot-free.
[2:44] The other is a...
[2:45] And that, I'm going to hand you a card.
[2:47] Okay.
[2:47] And that's going to be the celebrity or character you're going to have to do an impression of.
[2:53] Normal charade rules apply.
[2:54] You can't just, like, say the name.
[2:56] So, not like the usual impressions we do?
[2:58] Not Saturday Night Live impression.
[2:59] My impressions.
[2:59] Or your impressions.
[3:01] The other card is going to be a card that you have to...
[3:04] That we reveal before you attempt your impression.
[3:06] And that is the scenario that you are doing the impression for.
[3:10] Wow.
[3:10] So much more work than I wanted to do on this episode.
[3:12] Guess what?
[3:12] It's a lot of work.
[3:13] I helped.
Dan McCoy
[3:16] So, um...
[3:17] You seem like you did the most work.
[3:18] You had to write out cards.
[3:19] I had to write a bunch of cards.
Stuart Wellington
[3:21] You did my work.
[3:22] And I also...
[3:22] I'm not just making you guys do it.
[3:24] I'm playing as well.
[3:25] Oh, okay.
[3:26] Which means I am exposing myself.
[3:27] I'm revealing my inner self.
[3:30] Yeah.
[3:31] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[3:31] Exposing ourselves.
[3:32] Yeah.
[3:32] Yeah.
[3:33] Nope.
Stuart Wellington
[3:34] So, um...
Elliott Kalan
[3:35] You get a lot of good card.
Stuart Wellington
[3:37] So, you do the impression.
[3:39] Whichever of the two of us who get the...
[3:43] Get it...
[3:43] We'll make a guess.
[3:44] If we get it right, we get the card to represent a point.
[3:49] You get a point.
[3:49] And if somebody gets the impression you do, you get a point.
[3:53] So, you keep the other card.
[3:54] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[3:54] Oh, get it right.
[3:56] So, sorry.
[3:57] We're going to guess who the people are.
[3:58] Yes.
[3:58] Yeah.
[3:58] Okay.
[3:59] Yeah.
[3:59] That seems...
Elliott Kalan
[4:00] When he said charade rules, that kind of...
Dan McCoy
[4:01] Yeah, charade rules.
[4:02] It wasn't the movie charade.
Stuart Wellington
[4:03] Just call out...
[4:04] Yes.
[4:05] Which has no rules.
[4:06] Just right.
[4:07] Nope.
[4:07] Yeah.
[4:07] Uh-huh.
[4:08] It was the original, what?
[4:09] Applebee's?
[4:10] Outback?
[4:10] I don't remember.
[4:11] Okay.
[4:12] The movie charade.
[4:13] Yes.
Elliott Kalan
[4:13] Yeah.
[4:14] It was the original Outback Applebee's.
[4:16] They said, you know what would be better?
[4:18] If this movie wasn't kind of like a Hitchcock-type thriller, it was instead a family restaurant
[4:21] that was a chain.
Dan McCoy
[4:22] It was like a...
[4:23] It had like a William Castle-style gimmick.
[4:25] There was a Bloomin' Onion in every seat.
[4:28] Every seat.
[4:29] Yeah.
[4:29] Wow.
[4:29] Okay.
[4:30] Be careful.
Elliott Kalan
[4:31] Cary Grant's doing his...
[4:32] He's doing the trailer.
[4:33] He goes, why don't you...
[4:33] You see my new movie, Charade.
[4:35] Just be careful when you sit down because there's going to be a Bloomin' Onion under
[4:38] the seat.
[4:40] Oh, wow.
Stuart Wellington
[4:41] I feel like I'm playing the game already.
[4:43] It's fucking crazy, by the way.
[4:43] When you go to Outback Steakhouse, you go to sit down at your table.
[4:48] Yeah.
[4:48] And they've already placed an appetizer that you've paid for on your chair.
[4:53] On the seat.
[4:54] So like...
Elliott Kalan
[4:55] That's what's called Australian style.
Stuart Wellington
[4:56] You have to be careful because like you paid for that and you might not want to eat
[5:00] it after your corduroy pants smush it into...
[5:03] Because it's another race.
[5:03] I paid for the cold feet and I'm only going to be using the edge that does not have a Bloomin' Onion
Elliott Kalan
[5:07] on it.
[5:08] I will say this.
[5:08] It's an Australian style restaurant and they eat down under back down there, which means
[5:12] through their butt.
[5:13] Yeah.
[5:13] So that's why.
[5:13] Yeah.
[5:14] You know...
[5:15] That's what Outback means.
[5:16] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[5:17] I'm sorry to all of our Australian listeners.
Stuart Wellington
[5:20] Uh-huh.
[5:21] Good day is what I would say.
[5:23] Because it's nighttime here, but it's daytime there.
[5:25] Yeah.
[5:25] That's the joke of it.
[5:26] So since Elliot is the visiting team...
[5:30] Oh, okay.
[5:30] He's going to be going first.
[5:32] Oh, man.
[5:32] So let me pass you...
[5:33] This is the name of the character or celebrity.
[5:36] Okay.
[5:36] The scenario is listing side effects.
[5:42] Listing side effects.
[5:43] You have to list side effects as this celebrity or character.
[5:46] And I'm making up the side effects.
[5:48] Yeah.
[5:48] Or you can look up...
[5:49] I don't know.
[5:50] It's an improv game.
[5:51] Okay.
[5:51] You can Google, what, lorazepam or whatever.
Elliott Kalan
[5:56] Well, you know what?
[5:56] This reminds me...
[5:57] I won't get...
[5:58] This isn't this...
[5:58] I'll get into this one in a minute.
[6:00] Later, remind me to do the character which fits into this game that I was doing for my
[6:04] younger son earlier today.
[6:05] I'll just tell you his name was General William Tecumseh Kermit.
[6:10] I'll do him for you later in the game.
[6:12] Sure.
[6:12] Yeah.
[6:13] Okay.
[6:13] Unless he's on one of these cards.
[6:15] Unless Charlene...
[6:16] Unless the name is Kermit and the scene is fighting the Civil War.
[6:21] All right.
[6:22] I'll do this one.
[6:23] Oh, gosh.
[6:25] High blood pressure.
[6:26] Goofy.
[6:27] Yeah, you got it.
[6:28] Yay.
Stuart Wellington
[6:30] So, I'm going to keep one of these.
[6:31] That's on my little stack.
[6:32] You keep that one.
[6:33] Thank you.
Elliott Kalan
[6:34] I didn't even get to gambling addiction.
[6:37] Which is...
[6:38] There's a number of medications where there's increased risk of gambling addiction, which
[6:42] I think is a very interesting side effect.
Stuart Wellington
[6:44] Hey, let's get real, everybody.
[6:45] If you're having trouble quitting gambling addiction, seek help.
[6:48] Yes.
[6:49] Yeah, please.
[6:50] Thanks for getting real there, Stu.
[6:53] Okay, Dan.
[6:54] Dan, since Dan biffed that last one, and that is your character and your scenario, cast
[7:01] a spell.
Dan McCoy
[7:03] Right.
[7:03] I'm...
[7:04] Jesus.
[7:06] Okay.
[7:08] Jimmy Stewart.
[7:09] No, I'm sounding like Jimmy Stewart.
[7:10] I'm not who I want to be.
[7:12] Because he did sound like Jimmy Stewart.
[7:13] Sylvester Stallone.
Stuart Wellington
[7:16] Tom Brokaw.
Dan McCoy
[7:18] I'm so bad at this.
[7:20] Walter Cronkite.
[7:24] Wait, hold on.
[7:25] I got a...
[7:26] Richard Nixon.
[7:27] I got a set up.
[7:27] Nicolas Cage.
[7:28] Yes.
[7:28] Yes.
[7:29] Fucking...
[7:30] I could not...
[7:31] I could not hit upon the right amount of like...
[7:34] I still don't think it was Nicolas Cage.
[7:36] No, I know.
[7:36] It was terrible.
[7:37] I was like trying to hit...
[7:38] I was trying to find the right drawl.
Elliott Kalan
[7:39] The secret with Nicolas Cage is that he's swallowing his own voice all the time.
[7:42] Yes.
[7:42] Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[7:43] Okay.
[7:44] So what does Charlene have?
[7:45] Oh, this is for you.
[7:46] This is for me.
[7:46] I'm in the game, baby.
Dan McCoy
[7:49] I can't believe I biffed that so hard.
[7:51] Telling us the plot of your favorite movie.
[7:54] Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[7:56] Well, there's this...
[7:58] Oh, wait.
[7:58] Okay.
[7:58] Wait.
Dan McCoy
[7:59] Okay.
[8:00] There's going to be a lot of okay, wait in this episode.
Stuart Wellington
[8:03] Should we go, okay, wait, wait, I'll tell you.
[8:06] I mean, I don't want to like just steal a bit I saw on the internet.
[8:09] So I'm like...
[8:09] Yeah.
[8:10] Well, my horse named Seabiscuit.
[8:14] Uh-huh.
[8:15] Tobey Maguire?
[8:17] No.
[8:17] When you said my horse.
[8:19] Well, it's my favorite movie.
[8:20] Yeah.
[8:21] There's...
[8:22] When you said my horse named Seabiscuit.
[8:23] Damn it.
[8:24] I feel like Charlene wrote this one with me in mind because I love it so much.
[8:28] Uh-huh.
[8:29] Oh, homie.
[8:30] Oh, Marge Simpson.
[8:31] Thank you.
[8:31] Or Julie Tanner.
[8:33] It's like we're saying, like, Huelhauser?
[8:38] I'm like, I don't want to just do the Marge Simpson as Marlon Brando in The Godfather.
[8:44] But it makes me so happy.
[8:46] Oh, that's great.
[8:47] Okay.
[8:47] So, Elliot, you're next.
[8:48] Let's do this.
[8:49] We're so good at this.
[8:51] Okay.
[8:51] I don't even know why we're doing this game because we're already really good at this.
[8:54] We're already superstars.
[8:56] Elliot.
[8:56] Dan, how many cards do you have?
[8:57] Of disguise.
[8:58] Elliot, your character is consoling Bambi after Bambi's mom's death.
Dan McCoy
[9:03] Oh, wow.
[9:04] Well, it's a cycle of life, Bambi.
Stuart Wellington
[9:06] This is Tom Brokaw.
[9:08] Yes, you're right.
[9:09] It's Tom Brokaw.
[9:10] Okay.
[9:11] Man has entered the forest.
Elliott Kalan
[9:13] Oh, man.
[9:15] Oh, yeah.
[9:15] That was a good pull for Elliot.
[9:18] That was a layup.
[9:19] That was not fair that I got that one.
[9:20] Okay.
[9:21] It's like, we're doing talents today.
[9:23] Michael Jordan, slam dunks.
[9:25] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[9:26] Yeah.
[9:26] Michael Jordan, gambling addiction.
[9:28] Oh, no.
[9:29] Please, seek help.
[9:31] Dan, you got to deliver a pickup line.
[9:35] Okay.
[9:35] He's like, pick up lines.
Elliott Kalan
[9:38] Are you tired?
[9:39] Because you've been running through my hair all day.
[9:43] Is that, is that, is that Gonzo?
Dan McCoy
[9:46] No, Gonzo would be a lot gentler.
[9:48] I can actually do a Gonzo.
[9:50] Like, I can't.
[9:52] Is that Mark McKinney's chicken lady?
[9:55] Are you an angel?
Stuart Wellington
[10:00] No, yeah, no.
[10:01] You're Anakin Skywalker.
[10:02] No, it is a, no, no.
[10:03] It's not.
[10:06] Yeah.
[10:07] Is it Marge Simpson again?
[10:08] You're so, you're so beautiful.
Dan McCoy
[10:10] You've got my head spinning.
[10:12] Gilbert Godfrey.
[10:14] No.
[10:14] Well, that's a good guess.
[10:15] I, uh, uh, I'm starting to put subtle clues in the.
[10:19] Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[10:20] That's thing.
[10:21] Uh, Rick Mile.
[10:22] Uh, you're, uh.
[10:24] Oh, God.
[10:26] Rick Mile.
[10:27] Mm-hmm.
Elliott Kalan
[10:29] The Crypt Keeper.
[10:30] How about this one?
[10:32] I was going to guess, Beelge is stupid.
[10:33] It doesn't sound like him at all.
[10:34] No, I can't do that.
[10:36] Uh.
[10:37] Remember, he's got to be delivering a pick, or she has to be delivering a pickup line.
[10:40] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[10:41] Uh, I wanted to do one, but I'm like, well, this person, their age is not appropriate for
[10:47] what I wanted to do.
[10:48] Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[10:49] So it's a, a child.
[10:51] Child or an old man.
[10:53] Mm-hmm.
[10:54] Uh.
[10:54] Uh.
[10:56] Is this felt?
[10:59] Now it is.
[11:00] I can't.
[11:01] I couldn't even understand what you were saying.
[11:02] Okay.
[11:03] Dan, do you want to give up?
Dan McCoy
[11:04] I want to give up on this.
[11:05] Okay.
[11:05] Dan, who was your celebrity?
[11:07] It was Reagan from The Exorcist.
[11:09] Oh, yeah.
[11:10] That's pretty hard.
[11:10] That was a very hard one.
[11:12] That's a hard one.
[11:12] It was a character, not, uh.
Elliott Kalan
[11:14] Yeah, that is a character, unlike Goofy, who's a real person.
[11:17] Oh, yeah.
[11:17] Who's a real character.
[11:19] That Reagan is a real character.
[11:20] Have you seen what she did?
[11:20] That Reagan, yeah.
[11:21] With that goose face?
[11:23] Only a real character would do that.
[11:24] Yeah.
[11:25] Zany stuff.
[11:26] You see when she's vomited all over that priest?
[11:28] What character?
[11:28] No, that's for you.
[11:29] You got that one right.
Stuart Wellington
[11:30] Okay, let's see.
[11:31] How am I doing?
[11:33] Oh, and touch.
[11:34] Okay.
[11:36] Because he said, how am I doing?
[11:37] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[11:40] Speak another language.
[11:41] Poor lady.
[11:42] All right.
[11:43] Okay.
[11:43] Oh, wow.
[11:44] Oh, wow.
[11:45] Je ne parle pas français.
Elliott Kalan
[11:49] It's not Gerard Depardieu, because he speaks it very well.
Dan McCoy
[11:52] He speaks it perfectly.
[11:53] Sounds like Tom Brokaw again to me.
Stuart Wellington
[11:55] He does a little bit.
[11:56] Je ne parle pas français.
[12:00] He says, no, nein, nein, uh.
[12:06] Someone who has a lot of trouble talking, I guess.
Elliott Kalan
[12:09] Ich boxen gern.
[12:11] Barack Obama?
[12:12] He says, uh, a lot.
[12:15] He doesn't have trouble talking, but he says, uh, a lot.
[12:18] Uh.
Stuart Wellington
[12:19] Uh.
Elliott Kalan
[12:21] Uh.
[12:22] Now it just sounds like Edie McClure doing the principal in Ferris Bueller when she picks
[12:27] up the phone.
[12:28] Just goes going, oh, oh, oh.
Stuart Wellington
[12:31] You're going to find out who it is, and you're going to feel like a real fool.
[12:33] I'm sure I'll feel terrible.
[12:36] It's Keanu Reeves.
[12:38] The Tostitos.
[12:41] Oh, Sylvester Stallone.
[12:42] Yeah.
[12:43] Oh.
[12:43] Nope.
[12:45] So it's thrown as Rocky?
[12:46] Yes, thank you.
[12:47] Oh, okay.
[12:48] Nailed it.
[12:49] Thank you.
[12:50] Guess so.
[12:50] Oh.
Elliott Kalan
[12:53] Well, you mentioned Tostitos.
[12:54] Yeah.
[12:55] Anyone would understand this is a reference to Rocky Balboa.
Stuart Wellington
[12:58] Man, we're doing really good here, guys.
[12:59] Elliot, you are attempting to pay for your books at the library.
[13:03] Attempting to pay for them?
Elliott Kalan
[13:04] Yeah.
[13:05] I'd like to buy this stack of volumes.
[13:08] James Lynch.
[13:09] You got it.
[13:09] R.I.P.
[13:10] You go, Dan.
Stuart Wellington
[13:11] I had to lean back from the mic because I knew I was going to yell.
[13:16] Oh, man.
[13:16] I can't stress enough.
[13:17] This season of RuPaul's Drag Race had a snatch game where somebody went.
[13:21] I think it was Lydia Butthole Collins went as David Lynch, and it was such a bummer.
[13:27] Did not even do the voice.
[13:29] It was not cool.
[13:29] Very disappointing.
[13:30] Thumbs down.
[13:31] But Lydia Butthole Collins, great drag queen.
[13:34] Yeah, but David deserves better.
[13:35] Yeah.
[13:36] Truly a great artist.
[13:37] Okay, Dan.
[13:40] You are requesting medicine from your doctor for a sprained penis.
Dan McCoy
[13:48] Like Doc, I don't, like, uh...
[13:51] It's kind of hippie, I guess.
[13:53] Like it.
[13:54] I don't know.
[13:55] Like Doc, man.
[13:57] It's so weird.
[13:58] It's just like...
[13:59] Oh, like John Travolta.
[14:00] Yeah.
[14:00] When you say weird, it means John Travolta.
Elliott Kalan
[14:02] Yeah, there you go.
[14:03] So weird.
[14:04] Never has...
[14:05] It's rarely that I feel like an actor is identified with one word that I don't know if he's ever
[14:09] actually said on film.
Stuart Wellington
[14:11] This one's gonna be tough because I don't think Elliot has seen this movie.
Elliott Kalan
[14:15] This is gonna be hard, yeah.
[14:17] Is it from the last 20 years?
[14:18] Because I may not have then, yeah.
[14:20] Putting on a show for your parents.
Stuart Wellington
[14:23] So I'd be putting on a show for your parents.
Dan McCoy
[14:26] For my parents?
[14:27] It better be pretty...
[14:28] Pretty tame.
[14:29] Clean.
Stuart Wellington
[14:30] Yep, it's gotta be...
[14:31] Your parents don't like a really raw comedy set.
[14:35] I mean, like I said...
Dan McCoy
[14:36] Dan gets up there, he's smoking a cigarette in front of a brick wall, and he's like...
[14:39] They did watch a bunch of fucking Are You Being Served,
[14:41] which is all pussy jokes.
[14:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[14:44] Even classy ones.
[14:45] Yeah, because it's British.
[14:47] Because it's British, yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[14:49] So, Mom and Dad, I am doing a show for you.
[14:55] This is going to be difficult because he's not a character with a big name.
Dan McCoy
[15:02] Is it the...
[15:02] It's the guy from Anora.
[15:04] It is!
Stuart Wellington
[15:07] Dan is correct.
[15:08] It is Igor from Anora.
[15:10] Good job, Dan.
[15:11] Thank you.
[15:11] Elliot, have you seen Anora?
[15:12] I have seen Anora.
Elliott Kalan
[15:13] I thought it was one of the few Best Picture nominees that I saw,
[15:16] and I was glad it won because I liked it a lot.
[15:17] Yeah.
[15:17] Okay.
[15:18] I know the backlash to it instantly happened as soon as it won Best Picture,
[15:22] but I liked it.
[15:23] That happens.
Stuart Wellington
[15:24] Elliot, there you go, buddy.
[15:26] Okay.
[15:28] And you are talking about snakes.
[15:30] I love it.
[15:31] I love it.
Elliott Kalan
[15:33] Now, this is a rattlesnake.
[15:35] And it'll make you go, ooh.
[15:37] And then, this ear is a cottonmouth snake.
[15:40] It'll make you make the same sound.
[15:42] Ooh.
Stuart Wellington
[15:42] And then...
[15:43] Wait, Tim the Tool Man Taylor?
Elliott Kalan
[15:45] Well, Tim Allen, I'll give it to you.
[15:46] Yeah.
[15:47] Okay.
[15:48] All he does is that one sound, basically.
[15:50] I've never seen Last Man Standing.
[15:52] Maybe he introduced a new sound for that show.
[15:53] He introduced a new sound.
[15:54] Yeah.
[15:54] I've been working on a new sound.
[15:55] He's got another one.
Stuart Wellington
[15:56] He's got another show?
[15:57] He's got another one.
[15:57] The premise is that he's a...
[15:59] Oh, his daughter moved back or something?
[16:02] Yes.
[16:02] He's an aging boomer who's got everything set up,
[16:04] and, you know, he's got, like, everything all figured out.
[16:07] And then his younger daughter...
[16:09] Is it Kat Dennings?
[16:10] Kat Dennings.
[16:10] Yeah.
[16:11] Who probably has a kid, has to move back in with him,
[16:13] so he has that boomer fantasy of being in charge still.
[16:17] Yeah.
[16:17] And dispensing wisdom, you know.
Elliott Kalan
[16:19] So every season, there is a new show
[16:21] where someone has to move back in with their parents.
[16:23] Yes.
[16:24] And it's nice to know that Tim Allen pulled that card this time.
[16:26] Dan?
Dan McCoy
[16:27] Oh, jeez, Louise.
[16:29] Okay.
[16:30] That's who it was?
[16:31] You told us the name already?
Stuart Wellington
[16:35] You're on Shark Tank pitching your newest invention.
Dan McCoy
[16:38] Okay.
[16:38] Hold on.
[16:39] I'm going to stand up for this.
[16:41] Oh, wow.
[16:41] Okay.
[16:42] I'll try and still be good for the microphone.
[16:44] Slowly.
Stuart Wellington
[16:46] Ooh.
[16:47] Ooh.
[16:49] Ooh.
[16:49] The guy who gets his penis shot off in Robocop?
[16:52] The Castle Freak?
Elliott Kalan
[16:53] Yes.
[16:53] The Castle Freak.
[16:54] Dan was just gesturing towards his penis and grunting.
[16:56] Yeah.
[16:57] So it's Giorgio, the Castle Freak.
[16:59] You hold on.
[16:59] Okay.
[17:00] Thank you.
Stuart Wellington
[17:01] Man, that was pretty good.
[17:02] I'm disappointed that I didn't get that one.
[17:04] I feel like I would have nailed it, but Dan did a great job.
[17:06] He did a great job.
[17:07] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[17:08] I don't remember the Castle Freak gesturing to his penis as much in the movie.
[17:11] Because I was pitching my Shark Tank invention.
[17:13] Oh, what was your invention?
[17:14] Protect your...
[17:15] Oh, like a cage.
Stuart Wellington
[17:16] For your penis.
[17:17] Okay, I'm next, and mine is...
[17:19] Doing Shakespeare.
[17:25] Doing Shakespeare.
[17:26] Doing Shakespeare.
[17:26] Like sexually.
[17:28] Yeah.
[17:28] Okay, give me one second.
[17:30] Let me get into character.
[17:31] Yeah, yeah.
[17:31] Become the character.
[17:33] Alas, poor Yorick, y'all.
[17:34] I knew him, Horatio.
[17:36] I may just be a single mom who works too hard, loves her kids, and will never stop.
[17:43] Is this Reba?
[17:43] Sandra Bullock in the blind side?
[17:44] Damn it, no.
[17:46] What did you say?
[17:46] Did you say Reba?
[17:47] It is definitely Reba McIntyre, baby.
[17:49] Oh, it is Reba McIntyre.
Stuart Wellington
[17:49] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[17:50] This is...
[17:51] The funny thing is, like, I only know that through you, Stuart.
[17:54] That's what...
[17:55] You're referencing Reba, the show Reba, a lot.
Stuart Wellington
[17:59] You know, there's a thing about playing games that sometimes you, like, sometimes gotta...
[18:06] Well, you gotta play the player.
[18:07] Yeah, play the player, yeah.
[18:09] It's true, yeah.
[18:10] Elliot, you are attempting to give instructions to your barber.
[18:13] Okay.
[18:14] Oh, I don't want it too short on the sides!
Elliott Kalan
[18:18] I want it real long on the sides.
[18:21] We'll make it short on the back.
[18:22] That's Mr. Al Pacino?
[18:24] You got that right, it's Al Pacino.
[18:25] The loudest man in Hollywood.
[18:29] I saw him, I think I've said this before, I saw him on stage in Merchant of Venice, and
[18:34] I was like, his acting style makes total sense for this.
[18:36] He's in a theater, he's on stage, it's Shakespeare, he's real big, yeah.
[18:40] Mm-hmm.
Stuart Wellington
[18:41] Yeah, they're like, do we need to give you one of those mics that comes down your forehead?
[18:46] He's like, no!
[18:47] Oh, no!
Elliott Kalan
[18:48] And it's also, it's like in the movie Heat, it makes sense when you realize, oh, this character
[18:51] is high the whole movie.
[18:52] Yes.
[18:52] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[18:53] Dan, you are begging for your life.
[18:57] Like, I don't, like, why do you want to kill me?
[19:01] Like, I, I...
[19:02] Brad Pitt.
Dan McCoy
[19:04] Fuck, I, like, I'm trying, I, like, have an idea in my head that is just, like, not translating
[19:08] to, this is why usually impressions are worked out, you know, in front of the mirror.
[19:12] Yeah.
[19:13] You know, sort of like, okay, and like...
Stuart Wellington
[19:14] Not at the spur of the moment in front of a live studio audience.
Dan McCoy
[19:18] How about this?
[19:18] Okay, this is better.
[19:19] I mean, in Whose Line Is Anyway?
[19:20] I'll do it better now.
[19:21] That's true.
[19:21] I'll do it better, I promise.
[19:22] Yeah.
[19:22] Yeah.
[19:22] Couldn't have done it worse, so.
[19:24] Hey, man, like, what's, what's the problem?
[19:29] Like, we, like, why do you, why are you so mad at me?
[19:32] Like, I don't, I don't understand, like...
[19:34] Owen Wilson?
[19:35] We just, uh...
[19:36] No, he would say wow.
[19:37] He would say wow a lot, yeah.
[19:38] Look, I'm not, it's very scary.
[19:42] I don't, um...
[19:43] Uh, man.
[19:44] I really don't know how to do this person.
[19:46] Like, he's got weird tics, but it's like...
[19:49] Crispin Glover?
[19:50] Jay Baruchel.
[19:51] Maud's a tongue.
[19:54] Look, just cause I...
[19:56] Timmy Shaleman.
[19:57] I'm gonna resort, I'm gonna resort to the coward's way of clues and the things I say.
[20:01] Yes, it's Saoirse Ronan.
[20:03] It's Saoirse Ronan.
[20:03] Is it Saoirse Ronan?
Stuart Wellington
[20:04] Is it Jack Loudon?
[20:05] Hey, just cause I'm your doctor and I stalked you.
[20:09] I don't want you to...
[20:09] Stalked by my doctor.
[20:11] Uh, wait, Eric Roberts?
[20:12] Yes.
[20:13] Yes.
[20:13] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[20:14] Yeah, that was...
[20:15] I was trying to do that kind of, like, louche sort of, like...
[20:18] He's got, like, this weird, like...
[20:19] Yeah.
[20:20] Like, suave mumbliness.
[20:22] Yeah, he does so.
[20:22] Cause he wants to be Marlon Brando, yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[20:24] Yeah.
[20:25] What if I was a cat who was talking?
[20:28] Hmm.
Elliott Kalan
[20:29] That really would have said it was...
[20:31] Nailed it.
[20:31] That it was Eric Roberts, yeah.
[20:38] Hi, is this Kelly?
[20:39] Yes, this is Kelly.
Jesse Thorn
[20:40] Hi, Kelly, this is Jesse Thorne, co-host of Jordan Jesse Go.
[20:43] Hi, Jesse.
[20:44] I'm calling because you were just named Max Fund's Member of the Month for April.
S5
[20:48] Oh, wow.
[20:50] This is so surreal.
Jesse Thorn
[20:51] How long have you been a Jordan Jesse Go listener?
S5
[20:54] Probably eight years.
[20:55] I actually saw you guys at the Bell House in Brooklyn in 2019.
Jesse Thorn
[21:01] Was seeing us the reason that you started listening to the show?
S5
[21:04] I didn't know.
[21:05] I had been listening for a while.
Jesse Thorn
[21:06] Why did you end up becoming a member?
S5
[21:08] It's really just been such a dependable source of laughter and joy.
[21:13] I just appreciated that and I didn't want to take it for granted.
[21:16] So I wanted to contribute and show my support because I don't want it to ever end.
Jesse Thorn
[21:21] Kelly, thank you so much for talking with me and thank you so much for being a member of Max Fund.
S5
[21:27] Absolutely.
[21:28] It's my pleasure.
[21:29] It's totally worth it.
Elliott Kalan
[21:30] If you're a Max Fund member, you can become the next Max Fund member of the month.

Stuart Wellington
[24:07] Yes.
[24:09] Stuart does a little fist pump.
[24:12] I am explaining to a kid that there is no Santa.
Dan McCoy
[24:15] So, I hope no one's listening to this with their family.
[24:18] Stuart's true life favorite occupation.
[24:22] Accupation?
[24:23] Yeah, he does acupressure.
Stuart Wellington
[24:25] He does acupuncture while he tells them they're Santa.
[24:28] Okay.
[24:29] Look, Sean.
[24:30] Sean Connery.
Elliott Kalan
[24:34] Sean, you gotta stop believing in this Santa shit.
[24:38] Junior.
Stuart Wellington
[24:39] Junior, yeah.
[24:41] Before the entire word had come out, it would have been over.
[24:45] Yeah.
[24:47] Okay, that was a good one.
[24:49] You had Santa, but you lost it.
[24:52] Should have mailed Santa to the Mox Plus.
[24:56] See, I feel like everyone would have gotten that one.
Elliott Kalan
[24:59] They bring milk, you bring cookies.
[25:02] That's the Santa way.
Stuart Wellington
[25:05] Elliot, you are low-key talking shit about a friend's house.
Elliott Kalan
[25:09] Now, I don't want to say that vinyl siding's a bad choice.
[25:14] Is this Mr. Walken?
[25:15] Yes, this is Mr. Walken.
[25:16] All right.
[25:17] I got him there somewhere.
[25:19] Bowls.
[25:19] Oh, wait, no, I keep that one.
[25:20] Keep that one.
[25:21] Bowls.
[25:22] He clearly hired someone else to decorate.
[25:27] No one decides to put a vase with a sprig of wheat.
[25:30] My first walk-in is so close to my Woody Allen.
[25:32] It's the only problem because I'm Jewish.
Stuart Wellington
[25:34] What's up with that smell?
[25:38] There you are, Dan.
Dan McCoy
[25:39] There's so much contact paper on the counters.
Elliott Kalan
[25:44] You walk into the bathroom, kitty litter all over the floor.
[25:49] I put my shoes on before I walk into his bathroom.
[25:53] It is shocking how close it gets to Leo.
Stuart Wellington
[25:56] It's my bathroom you're talking about now.
[25:58] Yeah.
[25:59] Dan, you got yours?
[26:00] Yeah, I got it.
[26:01] I'm glad that, like, as we get deeper into the episode.
[26:06] I don't want to say drunker.
[26:07] I want to say deeper into the episode.
[26:09] We all, like, all of a sudden we get emboldened to do impressions.
[26:15] Okay, Dan, you are, this just says four score and seven years ago.
[26:21] Oh, God.
[26:24] I still got, I'm still in love here.
[26:25] I'm in love with you.
[26:26] You're walking into this one.
[26:29] Yeah, you need a power cleanser.
[26:32] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[26:32] Yeah, hold on.
[26:32] Do another impression.
[26:33] I mean, is this time for me to do General William Tecumseh?
[26:37] Yeah, please do it.
[26:38] Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[26:38] This is what I was doing for my younger son earlier today.
[26:40] Because we walked by the statue of Sherman next to the Central Park.
Stuart Wellington
[26:44] I was going, war is hell.
Elliott Kalan
[26:46] And the meaning of that is you have to make it as hard as possible for the other side.
[26:53] So we cut a swath through the south.
[26:56] We left nothing for them to eat.
[26:57] We burned their towns.
[26:58] That kind of stuff.
[26:59] You know, I was doing better earlier when I was less drunk.
[27:01] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[27:03] Okay, we love this.
[27:04] Hold on.
[27:06] Now, man, like, four score in, like, seven years.
[27:10] Man, do we come in?
[27:10] Hey.
[27:10] Yeah.
[27:11] Thank you.
[27:11] I was going to guess.
Elliott Kalan
[27:12] We'll do that one.
[27:13] I thought it was, what's his name?
[27:15] Who's the singer?
[27:16] Who sounds kind of like this.
[27:17] He's in Iron Giant.
[27:18] Harry Connick Jr.
[27:19] I was starting to lock in.
Stuart Wellington
[27:22] Every time I think of Harry Connick Jr., I think of that scene in Copycat where he refers
[27:26] to panties and squirrel covers.
Dan McCoy
[27:28] He's playing, like, the most crazed hillbilly in that movie.
Stuart Wellington
[27:34] It's like a pretty good movie.
[27:36] And then he's going so far over the top in it.
[27:40] This one, I feel, again, I feel like Charlene picked this one for me because she wants me
[27:45] to fail at it, but that's okay.
[27:50] Doing basketball play by play.
[27:52] She does want you to fail.
[27:53] Oh, shit, man.
[27:54] Okay.
[27:57] To Jordan, then to Scottie Pippen, I'm a very important actress.
[28:04] Nancy Gross?
[28:04] Terry Gross, I'm sorry.
[28:06] I am a chameleon of an actress.
[28:08] Meryl Streep?
[28:09] That cannot stop telling you what's happening in this basketball game.
[28:14] Now, Jordan, a three-pointer.
[28:18] Oh, my.
[28:19] Tilda Swinton.
[28:20] Thank you.
[28:21] Okay.
[28:22] Oh.
[28:23] Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[28:23] It took me a while to get there.
Stuart Wellington
[28:24] I mean, Dan, Dan, do you have a Tilda Swinton?
[28:27] You said you had a Tilda Swinton.
[28:29] I don't have a Tilda Swinton.
[28:29] Dan, earlier today, I probably thought you were bragging about your Tilda Swinton.
Dan McCoy
[28:32] I'm not saying you did anything wrong.
[28:34] I'm just, like, sitting back thinking, like, how does one do Tilda Swinton?
[28:38] Yeah, it's very hard.
[28:39] It's very hard, yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[28:40] I think that kind of, like, kind of slightly alien quality was good.
Dan McCoy
[28:42] I see what you're doing with, like, the clipped sort of.
Elliott Kalan
[28:44] Yeah, like, you saw what I was, listeners at home, write in.
[28:49] Write in.
[28:49] How do you do your Tilda Swinton?
[28:50] How do you do your Tilda Swinton?
[28:52] Don't tell me, don't tell us about Tilda Swinton, the Spanish equivalent.
Stuart Wellington
[28:57] It's too, I don't like the accent on that one.
[29:00] Boom.
[29:00] Boom.
[29:01] Okay.
[29:01] You're ordering iced cream.
[29:05] Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[29:08] How do I do this to make it clear that I'm not just doing this voice,
[29:11] that it's actually this person?
Stuart Wellington
[29:13] I mean, this person has this voice.
[29:15] It's William Toon's a Sherman.
Elliott Kalan
[29:17] So, yeah.
[29:18] So.
Stuart Wellington
[29:20] Now, the butter-covered fly ice cream.
Elliott Kalan
[29:24] No, it's not Kermit.
[29:27] Let's see.
[29:28] I want to have vanilla ice cream.
[29:31] I want to have sprinkles on it.
[29:32] I want another scoop of Rocky Road ice cream.
[29:38] I can't really do it.
[29:39] I can't really do it.
[29:41] The nanny.
[29:42] Not too far away.
[29:44] Okay.
[29:45] Okay.
[29:46] You want me to give you the nanny?
Stuart Wellington
[29:47] Debbie Mazur?
[29:48] No.
Elliott Kalan
[29:49] Not too far away.
Stuart Wellington
[29:51] Lady Gaga?
[29:53] No.
Dan McCoy
[29:55] Stewart's just reading his crush list.
Stuart Wellington
[29:58] Marissa Tomei?
[29:59] Yes, Marissa Tomei.
Dan McCoy
[30:00] Exactly.
[30:01] Wow.
[30:01] I provided the clue that I'm locked.
Elliott Kalan
[30:04] I was waiting to have to do the biological clock line about ice cream.
Stuart Wellington
[30:08] If you got closer, I would propose.
[30:12] All right.
[30:13] What do we got?
[30:15] I feel like Dan's had some bad luck.
[30:19] He's had a run of bad luck here.
[30:20] Oh, boy.
[30:22] Okay.
[30:22] Are you ready for your scenario, Mr. McCoy?
[30:24] Yeah.
[30:26] You're explaining Transformers.
Dan McCoy
[30:33] There's the Decepticons, baby.
[30:36] And the Autobots are good.
[30:38] You know, you know they're gonna shoot each other with lasers.
[30:43] Madonna?
[30:44] Yes.
[30:45] I just went sheep.
[30:46] Yeah, you just did a song.
[30:48] No, you deserve it.
Elliott Kalan
[30:50] I mean, you could kind of do the same voice I did for Marissa Tomei, I think, probably.
[30:53] Yeah, it's fair.
[30:55] Okay.
[30:56] You made a face to it as if you were gonna throw that card away.
Stuart Wellington
[30:59] Well, it was a thing where I'm like, I feel like you guys wish you had gotten that one.
Dan McCoy
[31:03] It's like an animal crackers.
[31:05] Harper just rips out the card.
[31:06] And throw it away.
Stuart Wellington
[31:08] Yeah, that's a good part, man.
[31:09] No spades.
[31:10] I'm delivering a wedding toast.
[31:14] So, uh...
[31:15] This guy's a real wiseacre.
[31:20] He's a real potty animal.
Dan McCoy
[31:23] Curly.
[31:23] Moe.
[31:26] Harley Quinn.
[31:27] Great.
Stuart Wellington
[31:29] They're all the same, yeah.
[31:33] So, uh...
[31:34] What's up, Doc?
[31:35] Bugs Bunny.
[31:36] Okay, well...
[31:40] That was the cheapest of cheap moves, yeah.
[31:42] But I feel like the first part, I was...
Elliott Kalan
[31:44] Now that I know that it's Bugs Bunny, that all made sense to me, yeah.
[31:48] Okay.
[31:49] Elliot?
Stuart Wellington
[31:51] I'm trying to remember what this character sounds like.
[31:55] You're trying to get someone to switch seats with you on a long airplane flight.
[31:59] Oh, okay.
[31:59] Oh, dear Lord.
Elliott Kalan
[32:01] Let's see.
[32:01] What does this character sound like?
[32:02] I'm trying to remember.
[32:04] Hard to say.
[32:05] Yeah.
[32:06] No one knows.
[32:07] Since you don't know the name.
[32:08] Mm-hmm.
[32:10] Uh...
[32:10] Eh, would you give me that?
[32:13] The window.
Stuart Wellington
[32:16] It's not Peter Lorre.
[32:18] No, it's not Peter Lorre.
[32:18] It sounds Peter Lorre, right?
[32:20] Because, um...
[32:22] Is it Emo Phillips?
[32:24] Yeah.
[32:25] Is it the, like, Honey Smacks thing?
[32:28] Yeah.
[32:29] That's that.
[32:30] No.
Elliott Kalan
[32:31] Oh, it's a character.
[32:32] It's a character.
[32:33] So, uh...
[32:34] Is it Igor?
[32:35] No.
[32:36] Is it a different Igor than Igor 2?
[32:39] Is it Fritz?
[32:40] The character that people...
[32:41] Is it Igor's ass?
[32:44] Is it Igor then sues later?
[32:45] Yeah.
[32:47] Eh.
[32:48] That sounds more like Gonzo, I think.
[32:50] Yeah.
[32:51] But, like, a perverted Gonzo.
[32:53] Is it Marge Simpson?
[32:55] Um...
[32:55] Uh...
[32:58] Oh, no.
[32:58] He...
[32:58] No.
[32:58] I know none of this character's voice.
[33:00] It's more like...
[33:00] No, this can't do it either.
[33:02] Um...
[33:02] Is Igor gonna tap out?
[33:11] Well, yeah.
[33:12] You know what?
[33:12] I will tap out.
[33:13] Okay, reveal it.
[33:14] What is it?
[33:15] It's Gollum.
[33:15] That's who it is.
[33:16] Gollum.
[33:16] I couldn't really remember what he sounds like.
[33:20] Although...
[33:20] No, you were...
[33:21] Yeah, you were...
[33:22] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[33:23] I think he does a lot of, like...
[33:24] And I couldn't make my throat do it.
Stuart Wellington
[33:26] Yeah, you should have been like...
[33:27] Trixie.
Elliott Kalan
[33:28] Trixie Hobbit stole my seat.
[33:30] Yeah, you should have been like, I want to sit next to my precious, you know.
[33:33] Yeah, yeah.
[33:33] But that felt too cheap.
[33:34] That felt like a real what's up doc move.
[33:37] Wow.
Stuart Wellington
[33:39] Wow.
[33:39] Elliot's turning the tables on the Game Master.
[33:41] Mm-hmm.
[33:42] Uh, you're calling customer service to complain.
[33:47] I'm terribly disappointed with you.
[33:48] Michael Caine.
Elliott Kalan
[33:50] I'm familiar.
[33:51] I've heard that one before.
Stuart Wellington
[33:54] Okay, yeah.
[33:55] That's fine.
[33:56] Yeah, yeah.
[33:57] Fuck it.
[33:57] Yeah, whatever.
Dan McCoy
[33:58] You know, you only live once, huh?
Stuart Wellington
[34:01] Only live once.
[34:02] So some of these scenarios I wrote down, and I feel like I've hoisted myself by saying...
[34:10] Do a wrap.
[34:12] Oh, fuck off.
[34:13] It's only fitting karmic test that you got that one.
Elliott Kalan
[34:15] Yeah, I'm glad.
[34:17] You deserve to get it.
[34:18] If I had gotten Golem do a wrap, I would have left the game.
Stuart Wellington
[34:25] Okay.
[34:27] Now I have to do a wrap.
[34:29] Yeah, you're required to by law.
[34:33] Everybody, just let everyone know.
[34:36] I have to do a wrap.
[34:38] When I wrote it down, I showed it to Charlene, and I had this look at my face like, so pleased with myself.
[34:44] Yeah.
[34:45] And now, hours later, I'm like, what the fuck?
Elliott Kalan
[34:48] You have been served the poisoned goblet that you prepared for your enemy.
[34:52] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[34:54] So you come to me.
[34:56] Mylon Randall.
Elliott Kalan
[34:57] Or Vito Corleone.
[34:58] Thank you.
[34:59] I love it.
[35:00] Keep you from having to do the wrap.
[35:02] Wait, I was like, that was just what he says in the movie.
Stuart Wellington
[35:04] So you come to me on my daughter's day.
[35:09] Hanging out with me.
[35:10] To say you love Fruity Pebbles in a major way.
Elliott Kalan
[35:14] That wasn't what I was going to say.
[35:15] He's wrapping in a commercial for Fruity Pebbles.
[35:18] Or is this the in-canon, in-universe love that Vito Corleone has for Fruity Pebbles?
Stuart Wellington
[35:23] Yeah, it's uncovered in the text, but it's assumed.
[35:26] Yeah, no, you can, you can, all the pieces are there.
[35:29] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[35:30] It's more in the novel than in the film, but yeah.
[35:34] That's one of the things called a cutout.
Dan McCoy
[35:36] Puzo was eating a lot of Fruity Pebbles when he was writing.
[35:38] Oh, fuck.
[35:39] It found its way into the work.
Stuart Wellington
[35:43] Okay, Elliot, there you go.
[35:45] Me again?
[35:46] Yeah, enjoy.
[35:48] Okay, Elliot, you're doing some dirty talk.
[35:51] Oh, boy.
Elliott Kalan
[35:53] I am going to paint you like one of my custom Nintendo controllers.
Dan McCoy
[35:59] Timothy Shelby.
[36:00] You got that right.
[36:01] Stuart was just a little bit faster.
Stuart Wellington
[36:03] Oh, hell yeah.
[36:06] Do you think he talks to his girlfriend about that?
[36:09] He must, yeah.
[36:09] I imagine he keeps a lot of them.
[36:11] He's really proud of them.
[36:11] Yeah, why not?
[36:12] He should be.
[36:13] Dan, that's you.
[36:18] This is going to be a challenge.
[36:20] Hosting a podcast.
Dan McCoy
[36:22] I'd like, let's see.
[36:26] Hold on.
Elliott Kalan
[36:27] I love, I love, this is, I feel like 90% of impressions are someone going, wait, hold on,
[36:31] hold on, hold on.
[36:32] I know I can do it.
[36:32] That's not it.
[36:33] I know I can do it.
Stuart Wellington
[36:34] That's what the episode, that's the name of this episode is Hold On.
[36:38] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[36:38] I'd like to talk to you about MailChimp.
[36:43] MailChimp.
[36:44] Brian Cox.
[36:44] Is a way that one can deliver messages through the, I'm getting.
[36:52] Gary, Gregory Peck.
[36:53] I'm getting more flowery when he's not actually that way.
[36:58] Someone who's not flowery.
[36:59] James Earl Jones.
[37:01] And now, let's turn to the next commercial, which is about Squarespace.
[37:10] Squarespace.
[37:11] I'm close on this one.
Elliott Kalan
[37:12] Mr. Belvedere?
Dan McCoy
[37:13] Yeah.
[37:13] It's the all-in-one platform.
Stuart Wellington
[37:17] All in one.
[37:18] There's a gravitas there.
[37:19] Yeah.
[37:20] I used to have an Apple one.
[37:21] That classic Mr. Belvedere.
[37:22] Oh, okay.
[37:23] Oh, Patrick Stewart.
[37:24] Yes.
[37:25] Oh, damn it.
[37:25] That was a good one.
[37:26] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[37:26] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[37:28] I feel like I got closer towards the end.
[37:30] Yeah, as I guess what was going on, it sounded more and more like him.
[37:32] If you had called yourself Sejanus, I would have understood his character from my Claudius.
[37:36] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[37:38] Okay, I feel like a lot of these are Char cherry-picked voices that sounds like her.
[37:45] Okay.
[37:46] Debbie Mazar.
[37:48] Harley Quinn.
[37:51] Explaining to your Uber driver that you accidentally tipped more than you meant to.
[37:55] So, so, so.
[37:57] Well, the thing is, I gave you too much tip when-
[38:06] Sarah Jessica Parker.
[38:07] Jesse Eisenberg.
[38:08] It's in the ballpark of what you're suggesting, but it's like-
Elliott Kalan
[38:15] Let's put more New York on it.
Stuart Wellington
[38:16] I got to get raspier.
[38:18] Oh, Natasha Lyonne.
[38:19] Thank you.
[38:20] Oh, there you go.
[38:20] Okay.
[38:22] Okay, these are the- this is the last one each.
[38:24] Oh, wow.
[38:25] Oh, wow.
[38:26] Okay, Elliot, this is your last one.
[38:28] You are-
[38:29] It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, you know?
[38:33] Leaving a voicemail for your friend's birthday.
Elliott Kalan
[38:36] I'm sorry, I couldn't be there.
[38:38] Current, Current.
[38:39] No, it's not Current.
[38:40] Ray Romano?
[38:42] It sounds more like them.
[38:43] Hold on.
[38:43] They're like, I wish I could have been there at your birthday.
[38:46] If I could turn my time.
[38:47] Chair, chair, chair.
[38:48] Yes, chair.
[38:49] There you go.
Stuart Wellington
[38:50] I'm surprised Elliot didn't go like lick his lips and be like-
[38:53] That's what I should have done.
Elliott Kalan
[38:54] I should have put my fishnet body stocking for that one.
Stuart Wellington
[38:57] Dan, this is your last one.
[38:59] Oh.
[39:01] You are delivering a public apology.
Elliott Kalan
[39:05] Oh, which we all will be doing after this episode.
[39:09] Miss Piggy.
[39:11] Greta Gremlin?
[39:11] Yes.
[39:13] My guess was going to be Audrey too.
[39:15] That's the thing.
Stuart Wellington
[39:16] I got all bricked up over here, so I knew what it was.
[39:18] Bricked up.
[39:22] Okay, well, I'm going to probably cheat on this one a little bit.
[39:26] We'll find out.
[39:27] Damn it.
[39:28] She wrote so much fucking text on this one.
[39:31] Explaining to a waitress why you can't have a certain food,
[39:34] and it's not because you're allergic.
Dan McCoy
[39:37] No, I like the specificity.
[39:39] It adds an extra little, you know, zing.
[39:42] Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[39:44] Look, I just don't prefer that.
[39:48] There's nothing with an allergy.
[39:49] The thing is, you can't, you've already sat me in the corner,
[39:53] and nobody sits Johnny in the corner.
[39:55] Okay.
Elliott Kalan
[39:57] Oh, why did I forget his name?
[39:59] Patrick Swayze.
[40:00] No.
[40:00] Thank you.
[40:01] Oh, okay.
[40:03] Wow.
[40:03] I was actually trying to think of, what's his name?
[40:06] Who plays the dad?
[40:07] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[40:08] Jerry Horvath?
[40:09] Yeah, Jerry Horvath.
[40:11] Obviously, the listener is the winner.
[40:12] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
[40:16] eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
[40:19] seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.
[40:20] Nineteen for Stuart.
[40:22] I have twenty.
[40:24] Elliot's in the lead.
Dan McCoy
[40:25] I only have seventeen.
Elliott Kalan
[40:27] That is, Elliot wins the game.
[40:29] And after doing a relatively poor job on my William Tecumseh Kermit character.
Stuart Wellington
[40:34] Well, that's going to be for the listeners aside.
[40:36] I'm assuming they're going to say that Stuart had these.
Elliott Kalan
[40:39] We had to break their spirit, not just.
[40:42] They just capture their cities.
[40:43] You know, that's when it comes to Kermit.
[40:44] So, who's the.
[40:45] This looks familiar.
Dan McCoy
[40:47] Oh, you wanted to show you could do an impression.
[40:50] Familiar.
[40:50] I had one in my back pocket that never came out.
Stuart Wellington
[40:53] Yeah.
[40:54] I don't think I have a Muppet impression.
[40:57] Let's see.
[40:58] Let me see.
[41:00] Kermit.
[41:01] Yeah, that's it.
[41:02] Yeah, that was it.
[41:02] You did it.
[41:02] Beaker.
[41:03] Great.
[41:06] Meep.
[41:07] Okay.
[41:07] So, yeah.
[41:08] So, this has been a mini episode of The Flophouse.
[41:10] You heard us workshopping.
[41:12] You're going to hear all these characters from now on.
[41:14] All these characters are going to be popping up.
[41:17] Killing the airwaves.
[41:19] In our new sketch comedy show, The Flophouse, a podcast about bad movies.

[41:34] Oh.

[41:35] What?
[41:36] And that's been me, Elliot.
[41:37] Yeah.

Description

While we were all fortunate enough to record in-person, Stuart filled Dan and Elliott with booze and forced them to do celebrity "impressions." It's either our most fun episode or our most embarrassing! Or both!
