FH Mini 109 - The Chop House

[0:00] Hey everybody, welcome to The Flophouse.

[0:07] This week it's another Flophouse Mini.

[0:09] That's right, on a normal episode we cover a bad movie, we talk about it, maybe sometimes

[0:13] we like it, maybe sometimes the movie's not that bad.

[0:15] We love to have our preconceived notions challenged so we can grow as people, but that's not what

[0:19] we're going to be doing this week.

[0:21] Instead, we're going to be doing something silly, because that's what we do on Flophouse

[0:24] Minis, is silly stuff.

[0:26] Just doing a goofy one.

[0:27] Just doing a goofy one.

[0:28] Yeah, one for us.

[0:29] Just one for us, and also for anyone else who likes nonsense.

[0:33] My name, of course, is Elliot Kalin, and I am in the pilot's seat for this one.

[0:37] My co-pilots, as always when I'm in the pilot's seats, are my best buds, whose names are...

[0:41] Dan McCoy.

[0:42] And I'm sitting on Dan McCoy's lap.

[0:44] My name is Stuart Wellington.

[0:45] Yeah, unfortunately there are only two seats in the cockpit of this episode.

[0:48] I apologize.

[0:49] It's amazing that we can both get picked up by the mic so well when you're blocking me.

[0:56] Mike is very strong.

[0:57] I can hold up both of you at the same time.

[0:58] Yeah, that's the thing.

[0:59] Yeah.

[1:00] Hey, guys.

[1:01] This is a human chair.

[1:02] It's a new franchise that Pixar is working on called Chairs, where it's human chairs.

[1:06] Oh, that was going to be...

[1:07] It was the new Marvel movie, Human Chair.

[1:09] Captain America's like, the only way to defeat Red Skull is if I had a place to sit.

[1:16] I like the idea that Pixar is doing a movie about human chairs.

[1:21] Like, it's done so many movies about inanimate objects.

[1:25] Well, that was the thing.

[1:26] They were going to make toys, human toys, but the animation just wasn't there yet.

[1:30] It wasn't.

[1:31] Yeah.

[1:32] They were going to make human cars, but again, animation wasn't there yet.

[1:35] They were going to have fully photorealistic faces on that shit.

[1:38] Human cars.

[1:39] Yeah.

[1:40] The mind boggles.

[1:41] We all remember when they announced Human Monsters University, and then that, again,

[1:45] also got changed.

[1:46] Guys, we're talking about...

[1:47] Those are all movies we're talking about because we love movies.

[1:50] I'm a lover of movies, too.

[1:51] But there's another thing I love in addition to movies, and it starts with the same letter.

[1:55] And that thing is meat.

[1:57] Yes, meat.

[1:58] I love chowing down on the dead flesh of what was once a living animal.

[2:03] I just like it.

[2:04] I'm sorry.

[2:05] I know it's not good morally.

[2:06] I know it's not good for the earth.

[2:07] I know it's not good for my health, but I just like it.

[2:08] I love the texture.

[2:09] I love the taste.

[2:10] I love the action.

[2:11] I love thinking of, you know, whose life am I ingesting right now and what memories of

[2:15] being a chicken or a pig or a cow will I take into me?

[2:18] The most alienating way to introduce this idea.

[2:21] Oh, yeah.

[2:23] Anyway, so I'm...

[2:24] The thing is, being a lover of movies and being a lover of meat, I am particularly attuned

[2:28] to those times when those things go together, when they collide, when meat is in the movies.

[2:34] And so meat in the movies is something...

[2:36] Meat's on the menu.

[2:37] Yeah, meat's...

[2:38] Oh, Dan, you're getting...

[2:39] Yeah, exactly that.

[2:40] He's in there.

[2:41] He's in the spirit.

[2:42] It's something we'll be exploring on today's episode of The Chop House, the only podcast

[2:46] devoted to meat on film.

[2:48] That's right.

[2:50] Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys.

[2:53] Cue that theme song.

[2:54] Click, click, click, click, click, click.

[2:56] Meat on film.

[2:58] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[3:01] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[3:04] Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.

[3:07] Doo-doo-doo-doo.

[3:09] That's a sound alike.

[3:11] That's a sound alike, so you don't have to...

[3:13] It's a sound not quite alike.

[3:15] Yeah.

[3:16] So welcome to this episode of The Chop House.

[3:18] Today, we are looking at the legends of cinema meat.

[3:21] My picks for the top 10 best moments of meat on film.

[3:26] The top 10 best times we saw meat in the movies.

[3:29] Now, I know what you guys are going to say.

[3:30] Technically, it's true.

[3:32] People are also meat.

[3:33] We are made of meat.

[3:34] I have ruled out living human meat for this list because it would have unfairly dominated

[3:39] the selection process.

[3:40] There's just too many good moments of movies that are about people, you know, where people

[3:43] appear on screen.

[3:44] Name one.

[3:46] Now that I'm on the spot, I'm having trouble with it.

[3:48] Yeah, yeah.

[3:49] I guess when Julie Roberts says, big mistake.

[3:51] Okay.

[3:52] In Pretty Woman.

[3:53] Yes.

[3:54] Good one.

[3:55] Speaking of meat, the two of them, man, smoking hot.

[3:57] That's like...

[3:58] Talk about a meat cute.

[3:59] That's like peak human appearance.

[4:01] I don't know.

[4:02] No cuter meat than someone soliciting.

[4:05] A hot, generous daddy.

[4:09] So this is...

[4:10] None of the preceding opinions are expressed as the viewpoint of Shop House.

[4:14] Those are all Stewart's personal opinions.

[4:16] Thanks for distancing yourself.

[4:17] So we're not going to talk about human living meat.

[4:19] I've also made the decision not to include scenes where people are being served as meat

[4:25] or where we know that meat is people.

[4:27] So that means, unfortunately, we're going to be ignoring a ton of movies out there,

[4:30] a ton of great movies, Sweeney Todd, Delicatessen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Motel Hell, Soylent

[4:36] Green, Titus, a lot of movies where people get eaten by other people.

[4:40] Alive.

[4:41] Yeah.

[4:42] We're not going to talk about those ones right now.

[4:43] So we're going to talk about meat as meat, meat as a meal, meat that gets eaten or maybe

[4:49] doesn't get eaten because of something that happens to it.

[4:52] Do you guys, before we get into the top 10, do you have any thoughts?

[4:55] Are there any ones that you hope show up there?

[4:57] Or do you not want to mention any because you're afraid of spoiling my list?

[5:00] Because meat does spoil if you leave it out long enough.

[5:04] I mean, there's so many great food movies out there.

[5:08] But honestly, I'm drawing kind of a blank on the great meat moments.

[5:13] So I'm curious to see what...

[5:15] You can't beat the meat?

[5:16] Let's see.

[5:17] Dan's having trouble beating the meat.

[5:20] First time that's ever been said.

[5:24] What like, you know, like Big Night is in there.

[5:27] What are some other good meaty movies?

[5:31] Well, let's say rather than...

[5:34] Hamburger, the motion picture.

[5:36] No, there's not hamburger, the motion picture.

[5:38] No, eating rolls, again, human meat.

[5:40] We're not doing that one.

[5:41] Meat the Fockers.

[5:42] No, that's a homonym.

[5:44] That's a different word that sounds the same but means something different.

[5:46] That's what a fucking homonym is.

[5:48] Jesus, the fucking crosswords are killing me, guys.

[5:51] You got mixed up with hominid, which is like an early ancestor of a person.

[5:55] Yeah, I think I was.

[5:57] So guys, I'm going to...

[5:59] Let's get into it, shall we?

[6:00] I'm going to share a little presentation with you called

[6:02] Top 10 Meats in the Movies.

[6:05] And maybe we'll put these visuals up later online.

[6:09] No, don't even describe them.

[6:11] We just put them in.

[6:12] This is just for us.

[6:14] I was astounded by...

[6:16] There was some production value.

[6:18] Elliot, you know, took over the screen.

[6:22] Did a screen share.

[6:24] Suddenly, there's a PowerPoint in front of us.

[6:26] And what does it say, Dan?

[6:27] I'm excited.

[6:28] Top 10 Meats in the Movies.

[6:29] You're right, and we're going to do exactly that.

[6:31] With no flourish, just normal font.

[6:33] Yes, because this is classic and dignified.

[6:38] So let's go to the first segment, which is called Honorable Meatschins.

[6:43] Elliot, I wanted to say this earlier.

[6:44] These are things that didn't quite make it onto the list.

[6:46] Yes, Dan?

[6:47] This wasn't spaced, but now I have to.

[6:50] I admire that your devotion to the pun is so strong

[6:55] that it doesn't have to be a good pun that sounds like the thing.

[6:59] You just like it.

[7:01] Not at all.

[7:02] I just like sticking words inside of other words.

[7:04] Smashing them together.

[7:05] Language is a toy in my hands.

[7:07] It's something I like to play with.

[7:09] I'm like a modern-day Shakespeare that way.

[7:12] Yes, exactly.

[7:13] So, Honorable Meatschins.

[7:15] This is where we're talking about some great, let's say questionably meat things

[7:20] that appeared in the movies, but I felt like didn't make it on the list.

[7:22] Number one, of course, live octopus in Oldboy from 2003.

[7:27] He just walks into that restaurant.

[7:29] He just slurps up a whole live octopus.

[7:31] Unfortunately, that is seafood.

[7:33] It doesn't really count to the hardcore gourmands as meat.

[7:37] So it can't make it onto the list, but it's a great moment.

[7:40] Someone eating a living animal, which you don't see a lot in movies.

[7:44] It's horrifying.

[7:45] It's maybe the most terrifying thing in the whole movie, and there's a lot in there.

[7:49] Now, moving on to the next one.

[7:50] Dan, I know you were probably going to mention this one.

[7:52] It's the plesiosaur steak from The Lands That Time Forgot from 1974.

[7:56] You know me so well, I guess.

[7:58] You're just texting me about that.

[8:00] They shoot a plesiosaur, and the next scene is it being served as a steak

[8:04] to the assembled explorers.

[8:06] Again, it's a marine reptile.

[8:08] I couldn't figure out if it was seafood or not.

[8:10] Now, Elliot, when you watch this, are you so curious what that tastes like?

[8:14] He is a dino and beast fan.

[8:16] This is why I wanted it on the list so badly.

[8:18] I've always wondered what dinosaurs taste like.

[8:20] I've always wanted to know.

[8:21] They're related to chickens, but their meat seems to be more like red meat.

[8:25] So are they more like beef, or are they more like chicken, or are they more like pork?

[8:28] We will never know.

[8:29] That's the question.

[8:30] We will never know the answer to.

[8:31] Mammoth meat, we know what that's like because it's been frozen.

[8:33] They've eaten some of it.

[8:34] It tasted terrible apparently, but dinosaurs, we'll never know what they tasted like.

[8:38] Imagine.

[8:39] Is it all like freezer-burned and shit?

[8:40] It was freezer-burned.

[8:41] It was frozen for thousands of years, yeah.

[8:43] It has to be.

[8:44] Lean and gamey is a large part of the answer, I would assume.

[8:48] I don't like gamey.

[8:49] I like gamey too.

[8:50] I don't think gamey is not an insult to me.

[8:52] There's some funk in your meat, you know?

[8:55] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[8:56] Yeah, I mean, Stewart's all about games, so yeah.

[8:58] Yeah.

[8:59] I think it's – so we'll never know, but that's another honorable mention.

[9:02] Finally, the final honorable mention is –

[9:04] I thought it was honorable Meachins, Elliot.

[9:06] Sorry.

[9:07] The final – thank you.

[9:08] The final honorable Meachin, thank you, are the suspended sausages from Freddy Got Fingered

[9:12] in 2001.

[9:13] This is undeniably meat.

[9:14] They are sausages, and it's a lot of meat, so I had to include it.

[9:17] But I left it off the main list because I find it so unpleasant.

[9:20] I find it so incredibly unpleasant to watch and think about.

[9:23] Of all the things in Freddy Got Fingered, like to me, this is the most purely funny.

[9:28] I thought you were going to be mad that all that meat was not getting eaten.

[9:31] It was going to be wasted, which I don't appreciate.

[9:33] As sort of an art project to annoy Riptorn.

[9:35] I have no problem with killing an animal and eating it, but killing it to waste the meat,

[9:38] I don't like that.

[9:40] I find the scene very unpleasant for a number of reasons, but I had to have it in there.

[9:43] It's an iconic meat moment in cinema.

[9:45] You had to, yeah.

[9:46] But it's not one of the top ten.

[9:47] Gun to your head.

[9:48] Conan was standing behind your back, ready to slice off your head if you didn't include it.

[9:52] Yeah, exactly.

[9:53] Now, guys, we're done with the honorable Meachins.

[9:56] Let's get to the main courses, this ten course.

[9:59] Thank you.

[10:00] meat meal, let's get to the m-m-m-meat with number 10, you guessed it, the meat monster

[10:04] from John Geyer's The Eng from 2001.

[10:07] This is a movie that I saw in the theaters and I don't remember what happens in it except

[10:11] for this meat monster.

[10:12] So clearly it made a huge impression on me.

[10:14] It's a kind of poltergeist, I guess, like a figure made out, like a human figure made

[10:18] out of meat, raw meat.

[10:20] And it's just a great use of meat on film.

[10:22] You don't see this a lot where the meat gets to be the bad guy or the monster in something.

[10:27] Guys, what do you think?

[10:28] Stuart, you and I saw this together, right?

[10:31] This was, we saw this as part of a double feature.

[10:34] It was with this and the original Phantasm because this was directed by Don Cascarelli

[10:39] and he was there and did a little Q&A.

[10:41] I was at that same screening with you guys.

[10:43] I was at that too.

[10:44] That's what I couldn't remember whether, I know Stuart lodged my mind because he's such

[10:48] a Don Cascarelli freak, but I couldn't remember whether you were also there.

[10:55] I thought probably because you're still in town.

[10:57] I don't remember anything about it either, honestly.

[10:59] I read the book, John Dive's Weekend.

[11:02] I saw this movie.

[11:03] I don't recall it.

[11:04] But you remember that meat monster, right?

[11:05] I think I read the sequel as well.

[11:08] This book is full of spiders?

[11:09] Yes.

[11:10] Yeah, I did too.

[11:11] And I also don't recall.

[11:12] I mean, I enjoyed them.

[11:13] I'm, this is not a slam against those books.

[11:16] It's more a statement about my-

[11:17] Do you smoke a lot of weed, everybody?

[11:19] Well, there's that, but also I just never had a good memory.

[11:24] Well, I think it seems like you don't have a good memory because you've forgotten that

[11:28] we've got nine more of these to go through.

[11:30] So let's keep moving, shall we?

[11:31] Instead of just going down that rabbit hole.

[11:32] Dan's basically just setting himself up to get caught in like a three card money hustle

[11:36] every time he goes out on the street.

[11:38] Harsh taskmaster.

[11:39] Yes, exactly.

[11:40] Number nine.

[11:41] This is another one I think you guys are going to remember and you're going to know that's

[11:43] right.

[11:44] It's maybe the most meat I can think of seeing on screen at once.

[11:47] The truck full of pork from Road Games from 1981.

[11:50] Now, I'll admit the meat here is glorified set dressing.

[11:53] It doesn't do much, but it gets a lot of screen time.

[11:56] Or should I say scream time because it's a scary movie?

[12:00] You should say that, yeah.

[12:01] Yeah.

[12:02] I just realized what number one is going to be already.

[12:04] I'm sure you know what number one is.

[12:06] Oh, I think I do now.

[12:07] Don't say it, but I know you can guess it.

[12:08] If the fans don't guess it, then I'm disappointed in them.

[12:12] But guys, what do you think about the Road Games meat?

[12:14] Again, you don't see a lot.

[12:15] It doesn't do a lot, but it's in a lot of scenes.

[12:17] You know, they're constantly checking the meat.

[12:19] Yeah, and it's a symbol for the fate of poor people getting murdered.

[12:26] I don't.

[12:27] Yeah.

[12:28] I don't want to.

[12:29] I guess this is a spoiler, but it's not much of a plot spoiler.

[12:32] It doesn't the end showdown happen amongst the meat.

[12:39] That's what I recall, at least.

[12:40] I don't.

[12:41] Yeah, maybe.

[12:42] I don't remember it well enough.

[12:43] I'm having a real John dies at the end moment here.

[12:45] I don't remember too much else.

[12:46] I don't.

[12:47] Yeah, I don't remember much about the meat.

[12:49] I do remember that this was, I think, the first Richard Franklin movie that I saw, knowing

[12:54] that it was a Richard Franklin movie.

[12:55] I saw, you know, Cloak and Dagger a lot as a kid, but like with my eye out for like,

[13:00] I think I'd just seen the oscillation documentary.

[13:02] And this one, this is a lot of fun.

[13:05] You know, like if you're ever like, what if rear window was on the highway in Australia

[13:11] was in trucks?

[13:12] Yeah.

[13:13] Yeah.

[13:14] This is a good one.

[13:15] So Road Games, we recommend it.

[13:16] I don't think you guys are going to recommend the next movie, but maybe you will.

[13:19] It's probably a favorite yours.

[13:21] It's one of the earliest meat movies that I could find, but I had to include it.

[13:24] This is strange that this one is less unsettling to me than the sausages in Freddy Got Fingered

[13:28] because this is the wall of sausages in the movie Dog Factory.

[13:32] Now this is from 1904.

[13:33] This is a short in which they, these men have a patent dog transformator and there's, there's

[13:39] sausages on the walls that are labeled with different types of dogs.

[13:42] And throughout the movie you see people taking dogs, putting them in the machine on one end

[13:46] and sausages come out.

[13:47] And then later they put sausages in the machine and live dogs come out.

[13:50] So it is a machine that can turn dogs into sausages and vice versa.

[13:53] It's from 1904.

[13:54] This was Edwin S. Porter, I believe one of the earliest film directors to really have

[13:58] his name attached to movies in the United States.

[14:01] And guys, tell me about your memories of Dog Factory.

[14:04] I actually do think I've seen this.

[14:06] I find the idea very alarming, like, well, I mean, it's alarming enough that like obviously

[14:14] turning dogs into sausages suggests that you are going to like eat those dogs and you

[14:19] know.

[14:20] I mean here they're just, they seem to be positing that it's just a good way to store

[14:22] them.

[14:23] It's good.

[14:24] Yeah.

[14:25] Transformation.

[14:26] Like, I mean, but you know, someone might eat them by accident.

[14:27] Who knows?

[14:28] I like, I, as you know, how often do you accidentally eat sausages?

[14:32] I mean, I'm not saying that the actual consumption, I slipped, it fell in my mouth, is an accident.

[14:36] I squirted mustard all over it.

[14:38] Surprising number of videos like that.

[14:39] If someone might be like, hmm, some delicious sausage, I will eat this sausage without knowing

[14:43] that they are consuming man's best friend.

[14:46] That alone is disturbing, but also the idea that one would transform sausages back into

[14:52] a dog.

[14:53] I'm just wondering about the mental state of the person who is like, this is the.

[14:56] Dan, this is one of several early silent comedy shorts where dogs are turned into sausages.

[15:03] I think this might be the only one where sausages are turned back into dogs.

[15:06] So this is the least, because at least here, it's not a one way ride, you know, but maybe

[15:10] it's.

[15:12] I feel like Yorgo's crib from this for poor things.

[15:17] Now guys, so let's move past that.

[15:19] It's a little unsettling, a little unpleasant.

[15:21] I think sometimes cinema is out to shock or to force us to question our assumptions about

[15:25] things.

[15:26] So I think that's OK.

[15:27] But not all movies have to be kind of like beautiful bedtime stories that lull you into

[15:31] complacency.

[15:32] But let's go to one that I think maybe fits that bill a little bit more for you.

[15:35] Number seven, the rat from whatever happened to Baby Jane that Betty Davis serves to Joan

[15:39] Crawford as a form of psychological torture.

[15:43] We can see it.

[15:44] It's a dead rat lying on not cooked and not even shaved or butchered, lying on top of

[15:50] a bed of lettuce and tomatoes and on a beautiful platter on a silver tray.

[15:55] And Joan Crawford is not enjoying it all.

[15:57] Yes.

[15:58] I don't even I don't even see any lettuce there.

[16:01] What I see is like just a bed of sliced beefsteak tomatoes, which to me, like I think there's

[16:08] a little bit of lettuce beyond the tomatoes.

[16:10] Maybe I can see it a little better because it's on my screen.

[16:11] Maybe I'm wrong.

[16:12] That's just what it is.

[16:13] But like I was thinking, obviously, the rat is what makes this the most disturbing.

[16:18] But I find it immeasurably more distressing that it is just on like just sliced tomatoes

[16:25] and nothing else, just like a platter of sliced tomatoes.

[16:29] That's gross to me.

[16:31] It reminds I was just in kind of recently I was in Barcelona and we went on this winery

[16:37] tour and there is a like a promised snack as part of the tour.

[16:41] So all of the Americans on the tour like sit down at this table and they basically just

[16:45] give us bread and like tomatoes and they're like, a local snack is to cut a tomato in

[16:50] half and just rub it on the bread with olive oil.

[16:53] Exactly.

[16:54] And which is great.

[16:55] But there's just something very funny about the idea of like, yeah, you just rub the tomato

[16:58] on the bread.

[16:59] It's I mean, it's a little thing is good.

[17:02] I mean, it's great.

[17:03] I mean, you know, especially if you rub some garlic on there beforehand, but like it is

[17:07] weird to be like, and now you do the tomato rubbing.

[17:11] Well, sorry, I interrupted you earlier.

[17:13] No, no.

[17:14] To promise that as a snack seems I mean, but would it would it bother you more or less?

[17:18] Oh, I feel so exotic.

[17:19] Would it bother you more or less if instead of rubbing a tomato on bread, they were rubbing

[17:24] the tomato on a rat?

[17:25] Or a rat on the tomato.

[17:27] Or rat on the tomato.

[17:28] Or rat on the bread.

[17:29] Well, Dan was saying his problem was more of the tomato.

[17:32] I was right.

[17:33] There was more.

[17:34] There were slices of bread with this rat didn't be like, you know, down, very amplified by

[17:39] the idea that they just she just sliced up a tomato.

[17:44] I mean, I mean, just that she put she had any sort of garnish setting for the rat at

[17:48] all, I think is putting more work into it than she exactly.

[17:51] I think that's what it is.

[17:52] Now, some will say that this is a bad choice, that rat isn't meat.

[17:56] The way the planet is going.

[17:57] Rat is going to be meat.

[17:58] Sorry, everybody.

[17:59] It's going to happen.

[18:00] So hey, oops.

[18:02] Do you hear that?

[18:03] Do you hear that cowbell or other meat related sound?

[18:05] Yeah, I sure do.

[18:07] Sounds like it's time for a little mini segment focusing specifically on B movies.

[18:11] You guessed it.

[18:12] Movies where beef makes an appearance.

[18:14] The B for beef movie.

[18:16] This segment, of course, is brought to you by they've brought to you by America's cattle

[18:19] ranchers who remind you and I quote, this is what they told me to read for the podcast.

[18:23] They wrote they told me to say eating beef is the only thing between us and total socialist

[18:27] demolition of our beloved freedoms.

[18:28] So that's a message from America's cattle ranchers.

[18:32] The first one, you know, you maybe had an idea what it might be.

[18:36] It's beef.

[18:37] It's probably gonna be steak of some kind.

[18:38] Let's take a look.

[18:39] Yes, that's right.

[18:40] It is the overcooked steak from Raging Bull from 1980.

[18:43] Robert De Niro's character, Jake Lamato's wife is cooking steak for him and he is harassing

[18:48] her over how much she's overcooking it.

[18:50] They argue with each other and she picks it up on a fork, walks out of the kitchen and

[18:53] slams it down on the plate, leading him to overturn the table.

[18:56] Now, here's the thing.

[18:58] That's where the name of the movie comes from, right?

[19:00] Because the overcooked steak is like a Raging Bull.

[19:03] Exactly.

[19:04] People talk a lot about De Niro's amazing physical transformation in this movie.

[19:09] What gets overlooked is the similarly amazing physical transformation of the steak to look

[19:13] so overcooked that that steak was in the makeup chair for hours to get that that kind of unhealthy

[19:20] char on it.

[19:21] All the aesthetics.

[19:22] It doesn't get a lot of screen time, but it really does look overcooked.

[19:26] That's just the length that that steak went to.

[19:28] So, yeah, the title Raging Bull does refer to the refers to the cow, the bull that the

[19:33] steak was made from and how mad it is that it's also overcooked and it takes over Jake

[19:37] Lamato's body in that scene.

[19:38] And that's why he overturns the table.

[19:40] Yeah, exactly.

[19:41] He's possessed by a by a evil steak.

[19:43] Yeah.

[19:44] Yeah.

[19:45] Yeah.

[19:46] Now, oh, wait a minute, guys.

[19:48] This B movie segment.

[19:49] Oh, we've never seen this before.

[19:51] This is new.

[19:52] We've never seen this in the Chophouse.

[19:53] Two movies listed at number five.

[19:55] At number five, there are two movies, two different steak movies.

[19:58] It's a T-Bone time.

[20:00] Holy moly guys, we've never seen it before.

[20:04] There's nothing in here that says you can't have a tie for number five.

[20:07] You're right, we didn't think of that rule. We'll pass a rule later.

[20:10] There's a tie for number five, a T-bone tie. Alex, play that T-bone tie sound please.

[20:14] T-bone tie!

[20:18] First up, of course, we've got, oh, that's right, it's the floor beefsteak

[20:22] from the man who shot Liberty Valance 1962.

[20:24] There's a steak that gets knocked on the floor.

[20:27] Lee Marvin and John Wade argue over who's going to pick it up,

[20:30] and they're going to shoot each other over it.

[20:32] And then Jimmy Stewart gets in and starts yelling at him.

[20:34] He'll pick it up, and he picks it up off the plate.

[20:36] He picks it up off the floor, and he slaps it onto the plate and starts to fall off again,

[20:39] and he has to slap it on a second time.

[20:41] It is a big steak. This is an Old West-style steak.

[20:45] No wonder it made it to number five.

[20:47] It's a tense moment in a great movie that revolves around a steak.

[20:50] Guys, how familiar are you with this scene?

[20:52] I saw the man who shot Liberty Valance once a long time ago.

[20:57] Loved it. Been meaning to revisit, but do not remember the steak scene, I got to say.

[21:02] Wow. Okay, well, Stewart, are you familiar with it?

[21:04] I've never seen the man who shot Liberty Valance.

[21:06] I find Westerns to be too scary.

[21:10] You're afraid that a fight over steak could end in bloodshed.

[21:14] Especially this one. There's a lot of yelling, a lot of loud noises.

[21:16] The noise of the steak slapping against the plate, very loud.

[21:19] And Jimmy Stewart coming in being like,

[21:22] No, you're going to eat the steak now.

[21:26] Kind of. That is kind of what happens, yeah.

[21:28] It sounds just like him.

[21:29] Especially because John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart are both older than they should be

[21:32] for the roles that they're playing, so there's an old man Jimmy Stewart in it.

[21:35] Okay, that steak is big.

[21:37] Let me tell you, it's got nothing on our other number five.

[21:39] The other half of this T-bone tie is an even bigger steak.

[21:42] You probably guessed it. That's right.

[21:43] It's the old 96er from the great outdoors.

[21:45] The enormous 96-ounce steak that John Candy,

[21:48] he'll get it for free if he eats it all in one sitting.

[21:50] That's from 1988.

[21:51] We get to see it both raw in the meat locker, hanging up there,

[21:54] and cooked on the plate, and it is enormous.

[21:57] This is a huge steak. It's 96 ounces.

[21:59] Now do you think they're weighing the bone?

[22:01] They must be, right?

[22:02] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[22:03] That's astonishing.

[22:04] That's how restaurants trick you.

[22:06] Yeah, do you guys think either of you would be able to chow down

[22:09] and just slurp up that old 96er and win the competition?

[22:13] Perhaps as a younger, less wise man, but certainly not today.

[22:18] That's causing me physical pain to look at.

[22:21] Not today.

[22:22] Oh, I got to call them up and tell them not to deliver that steak today.

[22:25] You know, I want to say, in contrast, in direct context.

[22:28] Yeah, and now that Joey Chestnut's out of the game, Dan,

[22:30] you could take his spot as the Coney Island King.

[22:34] I am so disturbed by the idea of food eating contests.

[22:38] I am not a fan.

[22:40] I find it both a symbol of pointless gluttony and grotesque,

[22:45] a perversion of man's relationship to food.

[22:48] But that's another story.

[22:50] I just wanted to say that in contrast to the man who shot Liberty Balance,

[22:53] which I saw in its entirety once,

[22:55] I'm not sure I've ever seen the great outdoors in its entirety,

[22:58] but I've seen bits and pieces of it several times.

[23:02] Sure, just the nude scenes.

[23:04] Nude scenes of the great outdoors?

[23:06] No, I mean the steak isn't wearing anything.

[23:08] And, Stuart, I'm sure you've seen the great outdoors at some point, right?

[23:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah. This and Funny Farm were like concert rotation for me.

[23:14] Yeah, those were ones that were played a lot in our house also.

[23:16] Hey, wait, great outdoors, was that the sheep testicles or is that—

[23:19] No, that's Funny Farm.

[23:20] That's Funny Farm.

[23:21] Oh, man.

[23:22] Yeah, so that's—

[23:24] A four-star review from Roger Ebert, by the way, for Funny Farm.

[23:28] He's an unusual man.

[23:30] I was just listening to a podcast with Quentin Tarantino

[23:32] where he's going on and on about how much he loves Funny Farm,

[23:34] what a great movie he thinks it is.

[23:36] I haven't seen it since I was a kid, so I don't know.

[23:38] But we're not talking about Funny Farm.

[23:39] Those sheep testicles, maybe they could have made it onto this list

[23:41] if it had 11 slots on it.

[23:43] Unfortunately, it just didn't quite have what the truck full of meat,

[23:47] the meat monster, and dog factory have.

[23:49] So, guys, rounding out our B movies, that's beef movies segment,

[23:52] there's only one classic moment of cinema.

[23:54] It could possibly be one kind of towering beef performance.

[23:59] It's so memorable, so iconic, so charismatic,

[24:03] Oh, yeah.

[24:05] It really does.

[24:18] It's just that, like, there's a moment in your life

[24:22] when you realize that things are made possible

[24:25] through the magic of cinema, and this is one of those moments for me.

[24:29] A hamburger singing about how everybody wants to play

[24:32] a classic fucking Eddie V taped-up guitar.

[24:34] It's so sick.

[24:36] I love this moment so much, and I think we've talked about it before,

[24:39] but we have to talk about it again.

[24:41] I love it so much because it has absolutely nothing to do

[24:45] with anything that is happening in that movie.

[24:48] No, it's never mentioned again.

[24:50] Otherwise, very tightly plotted.

[24:52] I mean, but, like, usually the gags have at least some association

[24:55] with the main plot, but here it's just like,

[24:58] hey, let's check in on John Cusack at his fast food job.

[25:02] He is going to scream to the heavens for some reason,

[25:05] and then a claymation hamburger is going to sing a song.

[25:08] It's such a weird movie because I feel like a lot of people

[25:11] grew up with Better Off Dead, either seeing it on home video

[25:14] or watching it all the time on TV.

[25:16] I didn't see this until I was, like, an adult,

[25:19] and it was one of those things where I'm watching.

[25:21] I feel like we all have movies like that where, like,

[25:24] you're watching and you're like, I feel like this movie's always been a part of me.

[25:27] Like, every moment of this movie makes sense to me on some level.

[25:31] Yeah, this is one that I didn't see until I was in college.

[25:35] And so I didn't see it as a kid at all, but I had seen –

[25:38] so Savage Steve Holland, the director of this –

[25:40] Did you see One Crazy Summer when you were a kid?

[25:42] No, I still haven't seen One Crazy Summer.

[25:44] I don't know what made that summer so crazy.

[25:46] There were zombies and stuff. I don't know.

[25:48] Well, I think it's time to watch it.

[25:50] You've got a family movie night coming up, right?

[25:52] That's what I should do.

[25:53] Why don't you pop some corn and watch One Crazy Summer?

[25:55] But I was familiar with Steve Holland's work on the show Eek the Cat.

[25:59] I did watch that show when it was on, on Fox Saturday mornings.

[26:03] So to me, he's the Eek the Cat guy who also happened to make some movies before.

[26:06] But this rock-and-roll hamburger, that's going to round out our B movies segment,

[26:09] and that means it's time to take a short break.

[26:11] You're going to hear some sponsor spots,

[26:13] and then we're going to come back for the top three meet-in-the-movies moments.

[26:17] That's all coming to you on The Chop House.

[26:19] Chop, chop. It's The Chop House.

[26:21] I'm Jesse Thorne.

[26:26] I just don't want to leave a mess.

[26:28] This week on Bullseye, Dan Aykroyd talks to me about the Blues Brothers,

[26:32] Ghostbusters, and his very detailed plans about how he'll spend his afterlife.

[26:38] I think I'm going to roam in a few places, yes.

[26:41] I'm going to manifest and roam.

[26:43] All that and more on the next Bullseye from MaximumFun.org and NPR.

[26:52] Hello, teachers and faculty.

[26:57] This is Janet Varney.

[27:00] I'm here to remind you that listening to my podcast,

[27:03] The JV Club with Janet Varney, is part of the curriculum for the school year.

[27:08] Learning about the teenage years of such guests as Alison Brie,

[27:12] Vicki Peterson, John Hodgman, and so many more,

[27:15] is a valuable and enriching experience,

[27:18] one you have no choice but to embrace.

[27:21] Because, yes, listening is mandatory.

[27:24] The JV Club with Janet Varney is available every Thursday on Maximum Fun

[27:28] or wherever you get your podcasts.

[27:30] Thank you.

[27:31] And remember, no running in the halls.

[27:37] Hey there, it's Dan.

[27:39] There's not really a ton to promote this week,

[27:41] so I'm going to keep it super brief.

[27:44] If you missed the premiere of Three Men and a Hallie,

[27:48] our stage pilot show that featured one Ms. Hallie Hagland,

[27:53] you can still watch it until the 18th, midnight on the 18th.

[27:57] I believe that's midnight Eastern time.

[28:00] But why risk it?

[28:02] If you're interested, tickets are still available.

[28:04] You can go to stagepilot.com slash baby.

[28:08] Also, coming up very soon,

[28:11] we are going to announce our new season of Flop TV.

[28:17] And, you know, we're going to announce it on August the 14th.

[28:20] Why?

[28:21] Because that is the Flophouse's birthday.

[28:23] I think it's our 17th this year, maybe 18th.

[28:29] I'll have to look into it.

[28:31] We've been doing this for a long time.

[28:33] But, yeah, if you're interested, look out for that on our various socials.

[28:40] Instagram is a good place to find it.

[28:42] Also, you can find it in our newsletter.

[28:45] All of the information about stuff we're doing is in our newsletter.

[28:49] If you go to flophousepodcast.com,

[28:52] there's a field right on the front page where you can sign up for a newsletter.

[28:57] And speaking of newsletters, I started my own.

[29:00] It's called Dan McCoy's Special Interests.

[29:02] You can find it by going to danmccoyinterests.com.

[29:08] Maybe it would make more sense if it was danmccoysinterests.com.

[29:11] But I didn't like the fact that you can't put an apostrophe in the URL.

[29:15] And so my own weird hang-ups made it danmccoyinterests.com.

[29:20] So if you're interested in that, check that out as well.

[29:23] Elliot continues to write Disney's Hercules comics.

[29:27] Stuart continues to be a bartender.

[29:30] Go to Minnie's and Hancherland's in Brooklyn and watch his TikTok videos.

[29:36] Okay, that's it. Bye.

[29:37] And we're back to The Chomp House, the number one podcast about meat in the movies.

[29:42] That is actually one episode of a different podcast.

[29:45] I'm your host, Elliot Kalin.

[29:46] I'm joined again by the other two members of the three Amitgos.

[29:51] Dan McCoy.

[29:53] Stuart Wellington.

[29:54] That's right. Stuart Beef Wellington.

[29:56] Stuart Beef Wellington.

[29:59] Beef Stew.

[30:00] Beef Wellington, and of course Dan frying pan McCoy, and let's move on to number three.

[30:06] This is a thing you cook meat in.

[30:08] It certainly is, Dan.

[30:09] It certainly is.

[30:10] So going to number three, I think I might get some blowback from you guys on this because

[30:14] I said at the top, we're not going to do any movies where people are served as meat.

[30:19] And this one is questionable.

[30:21] I may be skirting one of my rules, but I had to include it.

[30:25] That evil meat that we just see for a few seconds in Texas Chainsaw Massacre when she

[30:30] thinks she's escaped.

[30:31] She's at the barbecue.

[30:32] She looks over and just sees it looks like meat hanging in hell.

[30:35] The way it's lit all red and there's smoke and everything.

[30:38] It is so scary.

[30:39] It is in a very scary movie.

[30:40] It is one of the scariest moments to me because it is a take.

[30:44] It could be people meet.

[30:45] It might not be.

[30:46] You'll never know.

[30:47] 9000% people.

[30:48] Yeah.

[30:49] Never know.

[30:50] And it's also from this point on.

[30:52] You never know if any of the meat you're eating in real life is people meet or not.

[30:56] It just makes meat look so scary.

[30:58] It's an indelible moment of meat on film, even though it's a very short one.

[31:02] You know, just just because it's set up, it's teed up so beautifully.

[31:06] I want to throw a plug to our friend who went to college with Jim Strayer's podcast.

[31:12] This may hurt a bit where I just recently guessed it on talking about the Texas Chainsaw

[31:18] Massacre.

[31:19] The next generation, which is the fourth, the one with Renee Zellweger and one of my

[31:24] most hated movies.

[31:26] Yeah, I didn't I didn't hate it as much as that.

[31:29] But if you want to hear me talk about it, I'm over there.

[31:31] But I just find it to be so irritating.

[31:33] It's very unpleasant, particularly in the middle where they're all just yelling at each

[31:37] other for a while.

[31:38] And I mean, I feel like that's an element of all Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

[31:42] There's no like there's nothing else about it.

[31:45] There's every Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie has a certain amount of irritation.

[31:49] Like the first movie, as amazing as the movie is, when you're spending time with those kids

[31:52] in that van, like you want them all to get murdered.

[31:55] They're so annoying.

[31:56] They're so irritating.

[31:57] Interesting.

[31:58] OK, I mean, then when they get murdered, you feel bad about it and you're like, I don't

[32:01] want this.

[32:02] But there's a and in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too, there's so much that's that's purposefully

[32:07] unpleasant about it, you know?

[32:09] Yeah.

[32:10] But it's very funny that this one is just a scary moment of meat.

[32:13] You know, it's the scariest meat moment, or is it because, guys, let's move on to number

[32:17] two.

[32:18] OK, and I don't mean what meat becomes when your body is done with it.

[32:22] I mean, the second most iconic, greatest meat moment in the movies.

[32:26] Let's go to the first appearance of solo poultry on the list.

[32:31] We had poultry as part of the meat monster in John Dies the End, I believe.

[32:34] But otherwise, we've been seeing a lot of pork, a lot of beef, a little bit of dog and

[32:38] one rat.

[32:39] We haven't seen any chicken yet, right?

[32:41] That's a world coming from you, Elliot.

[32:43] Well, I want Mr. Chicken.

[32:45] I love the chick titular Mr. Chicken and the ghost of Mr. Chicken, I assume.

[32:50] It's the ghost.

[32:51] It's a flop house member who has the Popeye's app on it.

[32:55] That's true.

[32:56] It's the lion from the ghost in the darkness and me.

[32:58] Now, Mr. Chicken.

[32:59] So that's what the movie is about.

[33:00] And we're both trying to eat each other because we're on a deserted island.

[33:03] And when we look at each other, we see each other to me.

[33:06] Now, I wanted to put on, but it's not a movie.

[33:08] I wanted to put on the dancing chickens from the Sledgehammer video.

[33:12] I felt like it didn't fit the rules, but this one certainly did.

[33:16] And it's a little similar.

[33:17] It better not be like Baba Yaga's house or some shit.

[33:20] No, Stuart, we're not playing games here.

[33:22] We are playing road games back at number nine.

[33:24] We're not playing games here.

[33:25] This is real stuff.

[33:26] This is the real deal.

[33:27] It is.

[33:29] That little chicken from Eraserhead that he's got to cut up.

[33:32] So Eraserhead himself, he's at dinner at his girlfriend's parents' house.

[33:35] The dad asked him to carve the chicken.

[33:36] He says, why don't you just carve it like a regular chicken?

[33:38] It is tiny.

[33:39] And as soon as he starts trying, as soon as he sticks a knife into it, it starts bleeding

[33:43] and kind of dancing its legs up and down to the point that Eraserhead's girlfriend's mom

[33:48] goes into a sort of ecstatic nightmare seizure trance and has to run out of the room.

[33:52] Very upsetting scene.

[33:53] Very scary, but also pretty funny.

[33:55] And look, that's what's so great about chicken.

[33:58] Chicken can be scary and it can be funny.

[34:00] Light meat and dark meat in one bird.

[34:02] Chicken does it all.

[34:03] And so this is the best moment of chicken on screen, I think.

[34:06] Can I say, though, too, that that's the I mean, obviously, the great thing about Eraserhead,

[34:10] a movie that before I saw it in my head, I was like, this is the most fucked up thing

[34:17] I'm ever going to see.

[34:18] Like from this reputation, I'm like, I don't know.

[34:20] I don't know if I can handle Eraserhead.

[34:22] Like it's going to be too messed up or it's going to be too arty or too ardently messed

[34:28] up.

[34:29] But like the thing about it is like so much of it is also.

[34:33] Like a comedy of manners, like a weird, I don't know, like it's all about awkwardness

[34:39] and I don't know, it's a very funny movie for people who have been scared of Eraserhead.

[34:45] Lynch is very good at taking something and making it scary and weird and taking that

[34:49] same thing and making it funny and making it scary.

[34:51] I mean, the baby in that movie, which is so frightening.

[34:54] And there's that one moment where the baby is wearing a suit with a tie and it's like

[34:58] this looks pretty funny, to be honest.

[35:00] In the pitch meeting for the movie was he's like, and there's a baby and it's freaky.

[35:05] Yeah.

[35:06] I think that, yeah.

[35:07] When David Lynch went to pitch the film to producers, you know, like, I mean, he does

[35:13] yell a lot, but your Lynch kind of sounds like half Lynch, half Fred Schneider.

[35:17] I want to see, I want to see a movie where it's my dinner with Andre, but it's David

[35:22] Lynch and Fred Schneider.

[35:23] And the whole movie is waiters asking them to please keep it down.

[35:29] So that's that's that's the undead chicken from Eraserhead.

[35:32] Number two.

[35:33] What a great moment in that movie.

[35:34] What a great moment in meat movies.

[35:36] It's time for our number one, our number one greatest performance of meat on film.

[35:40] The greatest moment of meat on film.

[35:42] Can I can I put out what I think might be number one and give me your guesses?

[35:48] Yeah.

[35:49] My number one meat on film is, of course, the sequence in the movie Dead Heat, where

[35:54] the bad guy uses necromantic energies to animate all of the meat in a Chinese restaurant.

[36:01] So all the the ducks that are hanging and the giant side of beef all come to life and

[36:06] attack Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo.

[36:08] It is crazy.

[36:10] It's awesome.

[36:11] It sounds like it sounds like a really solid moment.

[36:13] If I'd ever seen that movie, perhaps it would have ended up on the list.

[36:16] You love Joe Piscopo.

[36:17] I do love Joe Piscopo.

[36:18] He's so funny and muscular, you say.

[36:21] Yeah, fuscular is what I call it.

[36:24] He was the Stuart Wellington of his day.

[36:26] Yes.

[36:27] Oh, I'm funny.

[36:28] So, Dan, I think you're going to be able to guess what number one is.

[36:30] Tell me.

[36:31] I think I may have.

[36:32] Chomping at the bit earlier.

[36:33] What do you think it's going to be?

[36:34] You're chomping at the meat.

[36:35] What do you think?

[36:36] I think I may have given you an action figure of number one.

[36:41] That is my guess.

[36:43] Is it the meat from Rocky?

[36:47] You got that right.

[36:48] It's the meat, the punching bag beef from the original Rocky 1976.

[36:52] What a performance.

[36:53] There was a whole beef section earlier, but you could not put this moment down in the

[36:57] beef section.

[36:58] It has to be number one.

[36:59] This is prime grade A star power on screen.

[37:03] I think it's the single most iconic meat moment.

[37:05] The crowning cut of meat cinema.

[37:09] He's using the side of beef as a as a punching bag to show off on TV how he's going to do

[37:13] against Apollo Creed.

[37:15] And look, as Dan was saying, they made an action figure of this meat.

[37:18] I think it might be the only as far as I know, the only meat action figure that is

[37:23] not an accessory with something else just by the meat.

[37:26] And it's because for all it's a short moment of screen time.

[37:30] The camera is really more on sly than it is on the meat.

[37:33] But it just sticks in your memory the way that a good piece of beef sticks in your lower

[37:37] GI tract.

[37:38] You know that shit's got to taste crazy.

[37:41] That's what I was going to ask you, Ellie.

[37:43] Do you think it's extra tender because it's extra tender with all the fucking sly sweat

[37:47] all over it?

[37:48] Yeah.

[37:49] Yeah.

[37:50] Yeah.

[37:51] This is delicious.

[37:52] What?

[37:53] Yeah.

[37:54] If that if that I mean, maybe that meat is hanging up in a planet Hollywood somewhere.

[37:56] And if you pay a million dollars, they'll cut a little bit of it off from it for you.

[38:01] But what I wish I wish I could try it.

[38:03] But that's got to be number one.

[38:04] The meat, the punching bag beef from Rocky guys, do you have any issues with any of the

[38:10] movies on our list?

[38:11] Are there any that we left off that you really said you didn't see again?

[38:14] I'll go through them again.

[38:15] Number 10.

[38:16] We've got the meat monster from John dies at the end.

[38:18] Number nine, that truck full of pork from road games.

[38:21] Number eight, the dog factory dog sausages issues.

[38:25] Number seven, the rat in from whatever happened to baby Jane.

[38:28] I know Dan has issues with the guard with the bedding, the garnish on that.

[38:33] Number six, the overcooked steak from Raging Bull.

[38:35] Number five.

[38:36] It's a T-bone tie.

[38:37] The floor beef steak from the main show Liberty Valance and the old 96 are from the great

[38:41] outdoors.

[38:42] Number four, the rock and roll hamburger from better off dead.

[38:46] Number three, that sinister evil barbecue meat from Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[38:50] Number two, the undead chicken from racer head and number one, the meat from Rocky guys.

[38:56] How do you feel about this list?

[38:57] And what?

[38:58] Yeah.

[38:59] Is there anything that didn't make it on there that you're disappointed about?

[39:00] You know, what's surprising to me is as we joked about my bad memory before.

[39:05] But like the one thing I have a memory for is movies, which causes me kind of a certain

[39:11] amount of like distress in my personal relationships where I'm like I'm letting like friends, spouses,

[39:19] family down by not knowing stuff that's actually valuable to my life, but knowing all this

[39:25] movie stuff.

[39:26] So it's surprising to me that nothing suggested itself to me as we went through this thing

[39:30] like this shows how Jane and I were when we went to the movies the other day, I brought

[39:35] up Mulholland Drive and Dan spoke for like 20 minutes straight about the DVD changes

[39:41] from the theatrical cut.

[39:44] But it's not untrue, but I wouldn't say 20 minutes.

[39:48] It was like 25 minutes.

[39:50] It did not happen that way.

[39:51] An hour, maybe.

[39:53] But yeah, like for some reason, meat just doesn't it sticks in my teeth, but not in

[39:59] my brain.

[40:00] Interesting. Well, now hopefully this will give you some something to chew on some movies to go back and take a second bite of.

[40:08] Did you write all these little puns down on a fucking post?

[40:11] About half of them. About half of them. Not all of them.

[40:14] But audience, do you have any opinions about it? Be sure to write in. Go to FlophousePodcast.com and get in touch with us.

[40:21] Or just write to Dan at his personal email, which is, and I'll tell you right now.

[40:24] Dan. I mean, if you go to the Flophouse email, go directly to my personal email.

[40:31] It will go to his personal email.

[40:32] Yeah, or just hit him up on WhatsApp.

[40:34] I guess.

[40:36] Post Dan's WhatsApp on there, please.

[40:39] This kind of feedback also is the sort of thing that, I don't know, might get addressed in our brand new newsletter, which I'm still promoting.

[40:47] If you want to get on the mailing list for.

[40:50] Are you going to use the newsletter as an opportunity to refute the claims that L.A.

[40:54] and I make against you?

[40:56] I mean, I wasn't.

[40:58] But now, like, I think feel like an airing of grievances would be pretty funny.

[41:02] Yeah, it's just like my side of the story.

[41:06] Like a little picture of you.

[41:08] Mm hmm. Yeah.

[41:09] Look like.

[41:11] You go to FlophousePodcast.com.

[41:15] You can send us a letter.

[41:17] You can find out about our live stuff that I'm sure we heard about in the ad segment of this episode.

[41:22] Mm hmm.

[41:23] So there's probably a jumble or something you can do on the Web site.

[41:26] We have a jumble.

[41:27] I've got to get on that jumble.

[41:29] You've got to make that jumble happen.

[42:43] Stinker face.
