FH Mini 106 - Birthday Twins

[0:00] Hey everyone, and welcome to a Flophouse Mini.

[0:07] That's what we do every other week on the Flophouse.

[0:09] We're not talking about a bad movie.

[0:11] We do minis.

[0:12] So named because they're mostly shorter than regular episodes, and they're a little more

[0:18] freeform.

[0:19] Today, I'm in the driver's seat, and, uh, is the game master in town?

[0:24] Well, maybe.

[0:25] Could be.

[0:26] You either want to buckle up or you want to stay unbuckled so you can leap out the window

[0:29] at the right moment.

[0:30] Yeah, yeah.

[0:31] Remember to roll when you hit the ground.

[0:32] Yeah, if you hit the ground at a specific angle, you will explode.

[0:35] Wow.

[0:36] Yeah, I heard it.

[0:38] This kid in my school told me about a guy he knew that it happened to.

[0:41] Just saying.

[0:42] That sounds like my younger son has been telling me how his friend told him that when you're

[0:47] counting, it goes up to Google and then it starts over again at zero, and that's how

[0:50] numbers work.

[0:51] And I was like, no, that's not how they work.

[0:52] Yeah.

[0:53] He gets so mad.

[0:54] Uh-huh.

[0:55] He was mad that he was misled?

[0:56] No, he was mad at me for he's mad at me for saying that his friend's rooster is wrong.

[1:02] Yeah.

[1:03] Dan's Googling this information.

[1:04] I mean, isn't that the way it is in life?

[1:08] Like someone tells you a true thing and you're mad that you can no longer believe the fantasy.

[1:14] Exactly.

[1:16] On that note, let's go into the mini.

[1:18] It starts like this.

[1:19] It starts right now.

[1:21] You know, tomorrow, as we record this, tomorrow is my damn McCoy's birthday.

[1:27] Very exciting.

[1:28] It is.

[1:29] Happy six.

[1:30] Oh, glad I remembered.

[1:31] Yeah.

[1:32] You don't need to.

[1:33] It's fine.

[1:34] Wait.

[1:35] No, I brought you're going through his pockets.

[1:36] He took his shoes off and he's shaking and see if anything comes out of my birthday celebrations.

[1:47] That's that's enough for me.

[1:51] I don't fall out of my shoes that I can give to Dan.

[1:54] Anyway, my birthday, of course, is the same as Garfield's June 19, 1978, Juneteenth also.

[2:02] Sure.

[2:03] Dan's birthday is a federal holiday, but that's not it's not a birthday.

[2:08] My birthday is the same birth of freedom as that's true.

[2:13] But a new birth of freedom to the year to the year Garfield, the cat whom we all know

[2:18] and love.

[2:19] Go on.

[2:20] The comics pages.

[2:21] I mean, normal doesn't love.

[2:23] Well, normal, normal, normal, normal likes Garfield Garfield is not like normal.

[2:27] What about I don't like Garfield like Garfield.

[2:30] I think Arlene's position on Garfield is undetermined at this time.

[2:34] I think Arlene just sees money signs when that when she looks at Garfield.

[2:38] Yeah.

[2:39] But yeah, Garfield celebrates his his birthday.

[2:42] Who knows?

[2:43] And the comics page every year on my birthday, making Garfield the oldest cat.

[2:51] But anyway, Garfield, of course, currently setting the box office on fire in the week

[2:59] of this recording, still at number four on the fourth week of release.

[3:04] Of course, for the first three weeks, it had the advantage of being the only kids movie

[3:07] in theaters.

[3:08] So that probably juiced the stats a bit.

[3:11] But it's inside out to probably bumped it down quite a bit.

[3:14] Yeah.

[3:15] Yeah.

[3:16] It's made around two hundred and eighteen million on a 60 million budget.

[3:19] As of this taping, despite I hear eliminating most of Garfield's already meager personality

[3:27] from the film.

[3:29] But we aren't here to talk about Garfield.

[3:31] We're here to talk about birthdays and birthdays.

[3:34] No, this is why we're talking about Garfield all that much.

[3:36] No, not Garfield specifically.

[3:38] We're talking about birthday twins.

[3:40] Oh, birthday twins.

[3:41] OK.

[3:42] And the fact that Garfield has a successful movie in theaters was the hook to get us into

[3:48] this.

[3:49] Oh, yeah.

[3:50] I don't know that you I don't know.

[3:51] We're we're we're we're we're smeared in the web of Dan's creation.

[3:54] People are loving this.

[3:55] It took a longer detour down Garfield Avenue.

[3:57] People are loving it.

[3:59] They love that that plus sized cat and his love of lasagna.

[4:03] And they love...

[4:04] We're not talking about that cat now, Dan.

[4:06] No, not anymore.

[4:07] But that's what got him in the door.

[4:08] Garfield is a love leader.

[4:09] Oh, I see.

[4:10] Dan, I feel like you could pull off like like a Garfield costume for Halloween.

[4:17] Oh, for sure.

[4:18] Yeah.

[4:19] I don't know if that's a compliment, but it's a compliment.

[4:22] Yeah.

[4:23] I don't know what you mean by pull off.

[4:24] Like it's a Halloween.

[4:25] You know, everyone's wearing a costume.

[4:26] No, but I mean, like, you could also like you could zhuzh it up and bring the personality

[4:30] to Garfield S2.

[4:31] Yeah.

[4:32] It's true.

[4:33] Chris Pratt.

[4:34] There, I said it.

[4:35] Yeah.

[4:36] I'll say it too.

[4:37] They should have cast Dan.

[4:39] I don't care for spiders.

[4:40] So at least I have that in common.

[4:41] What about anyway?

[4:42] What if for Halloween you had to dress as someone who shared your birthday?

[4:44] Well, we're going to find out.

[4:46] We're going to find out in this birthday twins episode, if you let me get to it.

[4:49] Can't wait.

[4:50] Can't wait.

[4:51] So I was prepping for this episode, right?

[4:52] I looked up.

[4:53] That's new.

[4:54] No, I...

[4:55] Actually, it isn't.

[4:56] Whoa, LA just did a Bazooka Joe flip take on a friend.

[5:02] It is not new.

[5:03] These many episode prep sessions actually take far longer than one would expect.

[5:11] It took much of the day yesterday that was not spent cleaning the apartment for Meredith

[5:17] who came in.

[5:18] Yeah, you can hear it all on tape too.

[5:21] Anyway, when I was prepping for this episode, I think that happens regularly.

[5:28] I checked to make sure I had you guys's birthdays down.

[5:31] I looked up famous people born on your birthday.

[5:35] Yeah.

[5:36] When Dan texted us to find out our birthday, I was like, is he trying to find out my fucking

[5:40] star chart?

[5:41] I know.

[5:42] I was trying to steal your identity.

[5:44] So I texted my mom.

[5:45] I'm like, what time was I born?

[5:47] And my mom's like, you're married.

[5:49] Don't listen to her.

[5:54] Less squirming in your chair.

[5:55] You're banging the camera.

[5:56] I know.

[5:57] I'm getting excited.

[5:58] Okay.

[5:59] Dan's mini sounds like so much fun.

[6:00] I'm just getting warmed up.

[6:02] Yeah.

[6:03] We're talking about birthdays, not Garfield.

[6:04] Unfortunately, as I was led to believe at first, we might, we could be might circle

[6:07] by circle.

[6:08] Well, who knows?

[6:09] I feel like, I feel like every audience member during kangaroo Jack's first theatrical run

[6:14] who went in expecting a movie about a wisecrack and rapping kangaroo and didn't get it.

[6:20] Yeah.

[6:21] Um, so I looked up famous people born on you guys's birthdays.

[6:26] Oh, okay.

[6:27] And to clarify, unlike with me and my birthday twin Garfield, in most cases, the year will

[6:32] not be the same, but just the date, the date, the month and the day.

[6:37] So Stan, do you have a framed copy of the first Garfield?

[6:42] I don't.

[6:43] That'd be a great birthday gift.

[6:44] Yeah.

[6:45] That'd be a great birthday gift.

[6:46] Yeah.

[6:47] Oh, uh, probably pricey these days, but who knows?

[6:50] Yeah.

[6:51] Yeah.

[6:52] Yeah.

[6:53] I mean, I'll give you the comic buyer's guide valuation on the first Garfield near mint.

[6:59] It doesn't have to be meant.

[7:00] No, it doesn't have to be total mint.

[7:01] I mean, a little bit of raggedness adds some, add some character to it.

[7:04] Yeah.

[7:05] We checked this, this, uh, edition of wizard and see what they say.

[7:07] Yeah.

[7:08] Wizard covers a lot of comics, strip prices.

[7:10] Yeah.

[7:11] That's the gag.

[7:12] I, yeah, I know.

[7:13] I know.

[7:14] Right.

[7:15] Anyway, when I was, okay.

[7:16] I said that part already from that list of famous people, I have for each of you, I've

[7:22] assembled a special birthday themed movie playlist.

[7:25] Okay.

[7:26] Now there, uh, it's going to be, you have six movie twins, each, each of these movies

[7:33] I'm going to talk about is related to someone born on your birthday.

[7:38] First I'm going to see if from what I say, well, not really from what I say, but I go

[7:42] to see whether you can guess who your birthday twin is, who's associated with this movie.

[7:48] And then I'm going to ask you what characteristic you think you share with this person who shares

[7:52] your birthday.

[7:53] Okay.

[7:54] Interesting.

[7:55] Interesting.

[7:56] Um, so we started with me addressing my birthday.

[7:59] Uh, so in descending age, we'll go to the second most decrepit, uh, flop house co-hosts.

[8:04] Yeah.

[8:05] Stuart.

[8:06] Yeah.

[8:07] I'm just falling apart over.

[8:08] Yeah.

[8:09] Yeah.

[8:10] Despite, despite being in the best shape of all of us, Stuart is actually 10 years older

[8:13] than me.

[8:14] Yeah.

[8:16] So Stu, you were born on February the 26th and in your birth year on February 26th, yeah,

[8:24] February 26th, Kramer versus Kramer topped the box office and then also doing well in

[8:30] theaters boxes starring a young Jodie Foster.

[8:33] And then after that question mark, question mark, question mark, because records for that

[8:38] time are oddly spotty.

[8:40] I could not find further box office information, but that's just a little color that said,

[8:45] you're just painting a picture, right?

[8:46] Yeah.

[8:47] No, this is just the Garfield moment for this, this part, unnecessary information.

[8:50] Yeah.

[8:51] Yeah.

[8:52] To confuse us.

[8:53] It's the journey, homie.

[8:54] It's not the destination.

[8:55] It is on the, on the flop house.

[8:57] It is 100% the journey, not the destination.

[9:00] The premise for this is thin, it is the, it's the curlicues are along the way that make

[9:05] it interesting.

[9:06] Okay.

[9:07] The first movie walked the line from 2005, a musical biopic course about legendary country

[9:13] star Johnny Cash, directed by James Mangold and starring Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash,

[9:18] Reese Witherspoon as June Carter and Robert Patrick as Ray Cash, the non-comedy version

[9:23] of the wrong kid died character from Walk Hard.

[9:26] A little fact, fact I found out about this movie.

[9:31] It had its origins in an episode of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman where, where, where Johnny

[9:35] Cash guest starred, became friends with Jane Seymour and, uh, began talks with her ex-husband,

[9:43] James Keech, who was all, who was directing that episode about making a movie of his life,

[9:48] Johnny Cash.

[9:49] Of course, you know, I went through a lot of changes since then, uh, but that's where

[9:53] it started.

[9:55] And so who do you think Stewart, maybe, you know, maybe, you know, who was born on your

[10:00] Who do you think, man, inspired the inclusion of Walk the Line on this birthday movie megamix?

[10:08] I don't. I'm kind of struggling here. Is it? It's not Johnny Cash.

[10:14] It is. The man in black himself. Johnny Cash was born on February 26, 1932.

[10:24] Let's see. What do I have in common with Johnny Cash?

[10:26] What do you have in common, do you think, with Johnny Cash?

[10:29] That's one thing. Super cool. Somewhat self-destructive at times.

[10:34] That's 100% true. Let's see. Something about a ring of fire. That works.

[10:44] I don't know. I think I feel like I could do a show at a prison, right?

[10:48] Yeah. What kind of show would you do at a prison, do you think?

[10:53] I'd teach them how to paint Warhammer, guys. I think they'd get it.

[10:56] Okay. Yeah, I think they'd love that.

[10:59] It's meditative. That would help with-

[11:03] Pass the time, man. Anger urges.

[11:04] I mean, the Warden Mask could use a slightly less violent form of painting object,

[11:09] but maybe they won't. I don't know.

[11:10] Yeah, love Hammer.

[11:11] But I'm using a gun, a paint gun, an airbrush.

[11:18] Okay. I started out on an easy one, of course, Johnny Cash, the obvious

[11:24] guess from a movie about Johnny Cash.

[11:26] Jonathan Cash, yeah.

[11:27] No, so wait, it couldn't have been one of the actors in the movie we're talking about?

[11:31] Could have been.

[11:31] Okay, could have been, but wasn't.

[11:33] You'll see as we go on, the associations may become more whimsical.

[11:37] Also, like, yeah, like, Joaquin Phoenix doesn't have, like, Pisces vibes.

[11:42] A birthday.

[11:43] Like, he doesn't have a birthday.

[11:49] He is and always has been and always will be the Alpha and Omega, yeah,

[11:52] without beginning or end, Joaquin Phoenix.

[11:55] Now, the next film is also from 2005, and it is.

[12:00] Is this for me or for Stuart?

[12:02] This is for Stuart.

[12:02] They're all for Stuart, and then they go to you after.

[12:05] Okay, you got it.

[12:07] Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

[12:09] Now, while I'm not a fan of the man Dave Chappelle seems to have become,

[12:12] or perhaps always was, this is a great concert film.

[12:16] Fortunately, you can mostly ignore him and enjoy the amazing performances

[12:21] directed by Michel Gondry and featuring the Fugees,

[12:26] Dead Prez, Erykah Badu, Common, The Roots, Blackstar, and Jill Scott.

[12:31] Shot very close to one of my old apartments.

[12:35] A great Brooklyn concert film.

[12:38] I remember you're in the movie, right?

[12:40] Leaning out your window and yelling at them to turn it down.

[12:44] To stop that noise.

[12:46] Who would you say?

[12:47] Who would you guess?

[12:50] I think this is still a guess, but I think I'm right.

[12:53] Yeah.

[12:53] Is it Mos Def?

[12:55] No, actually.

[12:56] Oh, wow.

[12:56] Their birthday twin is Erykah Badu.

[12:59] Oh, that's cool.

[13:00] February 26, 1971.

[13:04] Saw her in concert at Celebrate Brooklyn.

[13:08] It was a very, very, very hot night.

[13:10] She apparently had plane troubles.

[13:12] Took the stage very late.

[13:14] In the meantime, I saw several people being taken out on stretchers

[13:18] because it was either so hot or maybe substances were involved.

[13:22] But the great compliment I can give to that concert is she was so good.

[13:27] By when it started, no one cared.

[13:29] No one cared how hot it had been.

[13:32] That's true.

[13:33] She is your birthday twin.

[13:35] What do you think you have in common?

[13:37] I don't know enough about Erykah Badu.

[13:39] Neo soul artist, Erykah Badu.

[13:42] I do know that if I show up late, people forget that they were mad at me.

[13:48] Right, because you're so charming when you're there.

[13:49] And I am late a lot.

[13:52] Let's see.

[13:53] I'll vouch for that.

[13:53] I think that that's a pretty good connection.

[13:59] So yeah, that's your place in the flophouse.

[14:02] Okay.

[14:03] A late latecoming charmer.

[14:06] Okay, so moving a little bit back in time.

[14:10] 1997.

[14:11] The year is 1997.

[14:13] The film on your Megamix is Hercules, the animated Disney take of the legendary Greek

[14:22] hero whose adventures you can continue to enjoy in comics form due to a comic written by,

[14:29] checks notes, Elliot Kaelin?

[14:31] That's right.

[14:32] On comic store shelves now from Dynamite Entertainment, it's Hercules.

[14:36] Alex, edit out Elliot's plug because this is my section.

[14:41] Don't do it, Alex.

[14:42] Don't do it.

[14:43] Make sure people know they can buy Hercules and comic stores now written by me.

[14:47] A little bit more about Hercules.

[14:49] Maybe there's a, maybe there's something in here.

[14:51] Maybe there isn't.

[14:52] Directed by the legendary animation team of Clements and Musker, starring the voices of

[14:58] Tate Donovan, James Woods, Danny DeVito, and Susan Egan as Meg, the sexiest Disney heroine

[15:06] not named Elastigirl.

[15:07] Yeah, what?

[15:09] Esmerelda from Hunchback's pretty hot.

[15:11] Yeah.

[15:11] I mean, that's the whole plot of that movie.

[15:13] The whole plot is that she's so hot that the bad guy is losing faith in God, right?

[15:17] And he is like a legit banger of a song about.

[15:21] Yes, he does.

[15:21] That's a great Hellfire.

[15:22] That's a great song.

[15:23] What about Maleficent, Dan?

[15:24] Is she not a protagonist?

[15:26] I'm talking about the animated one, not the live action one.

[15:29] The animated one.

[15:31] I, you know.

[15:32] The one who can turn into a dragon in bed.

[15:34] For me, I, yeah, that makes it a little too scary for me.

[15:38] For my own personal taste.

[15:40] Like Meg has a real sort of like sadder, but wiser sardonic attitude.

[15:44] I respond to.

[15:45] And you'll be seeing a lot of that attitude with Meg in the Hercules comic book.

[15:50] Makes a big part of it.

[15:51] Okay, that's great.

[15:52] So not the Meg.

[15:56] What about the Meg 2?

[15:56] I was so disappointed when I went there.

[15:58] I was like, oh, finally more adventures of my favorite Disney heroine.

[16:01] Oh, it's a giant shark.

[16:03] Uh, let's see.

[16:06] And the movie's Heracles?

[16:09] Yep.

[16:11] Bell with a K.

[16:12] Um, let's see.

[16:16] Why would it?

[16:17] Well, I, you know, I have in a way my life has been 12 labors.

[16:22] It doesn't even have to be someone I mentioned.

[16:24] So I was born to greatness, but I really had to like learn about it and really push myself

[16:32] to really achieve greatness.

[16:35] Let's see.

[16:35] So there's that one time I wrestled a guy, but I could only beat him if I lifted him

[16:40] up off the ground.

[16:42] That was really cool.

[16:43] Uh, and I had to clean out that shitty stable that one time.

[16:47] Yeah, you moved it over.

[16:48] Yeah.

[16:48] Horrible.

[16:49] But I did it.

[16:50] You know, that's the thing.

[16:51] Some would say that was kind of laborious.

[16:54] I don't know.

[16:55] So you think that you're you think I would say I'm hoping it's not James half God Hercules.

[17:02] Yes.

[17:02] Yeah.

[17:03] I'm saying please don't be James Woods.

[17:06] Uh, you're in luck.

[17:07] Your birthday twin is Michael Bolton, who was born on February 26, 1953.

[17:15] He, of course, sang the soft pop end credits version of Go the Distance for the film Hercules.

[17:22] Now, what would you say you have in common with Michael Bolton?

[17:26] Notable heads of hair.

[17:28] Yeah, uh, strong jawline.

[17:31] Yeah, yeah.

[17:32] Uh, and surprisingly funny when put in the situation.

[17:38] True.

[17:39] When when asked to comedy, he's good.

[17:42] Bolton delivers.

[17:44] All right.

[17:44] This is a good megamix so far, Dan.

[17:46] Yeah, honestly, I will have to I have to say your megamix is movies that mostly we got

[17:56] a questionable coming up, but mostly I think would be a good good birthday mix for me.

[18:03] Yeah.

[18:04] Elliott gets into.

[18:07] Well, OK, well, we'll get there.

[18:08] We'll get there.

[18:09] Thanks for thanks for the like tease.

[18:12] You know what?

[18:12] Elliott's is not bad, except for maybe a few notable.

[18:16] Anyway, so moving on.

[18:21] The next film is Les Miserables, the 2012 version based on the classic novel.

[18:28] It is the 48th adaptation of the book worldwide and thus far the last one, although there is

[18:35] another one in development.

[18:37] Now, this 2012 version is based on the popular Broadway musical of the same name and stars

[18:45] Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, who won an Oscar for her performance as Fantine.

[18:53] And here's some trivia for Les Miserables 2012.

[18:57] Russell Crowe thinks he can sing.

[19:00] So that's.

[19:02] He is a rock star, Dan.

[19:04] He does have a band.

[19:05] He does have a certain number of feet of grunt.

[19:08] He does have 30, about 30 odd feet of grunt.

[19:11] Yeah.

[19:11] OK, yeah.

[19:12] Around 30.

[19:14] Not an exact measurement of grunt.

[19:16] Yeah, I don't know.

[19:17] I don't think it's Anne Hathaway, but I want it to be.

[19:24] Who is it, Dan?

[19:25] Who's my birthday twin?

[19:26] This one's a bit of a trick.

[19:27] Doesn't matter that it's the 2012 version because your birthday twin is Victor Hugo.

[19:33] More like Victor Stugo.

[19:35] February 26, 1802.

[19:39] OK, almost actual birthday twins.

[19:41] Yeah, yes, exactly.

[19:45] Almost the same year.

[19:47] What would you say you have in common with Mr. Victor Hugo, one of the most famous French

[19:54] novelists?

[19:55] Well, I would say both.

[19:58] I would say.

[20:00] Probably my second favorite Street Fighter character is Hugo, and I bet that's the same thing for Victor Hugo. Yeah, probably

[20:07] You're saying so yeah, if Victor Hugo was a selectable character on Street Fighter

[20:12] No, what I'm saying is that if Victor Hugo and I were sat down in our apartment to play some fucking Street Fighter

[20:19] We would but we'd be fighting over who gets to play Hugo. Yeah

[20:24] Yes, my name

[20:26] You go, uh-huh, and I'm like, uh, well, okay, then I'll just play my normal number one favorite Zangief. Yeah

[20:34] More Zangief as he sometimes you show him a DVD copy of Hugo. You're like, well, why don't you watch this instead?

[20:41] It's a powerful finishing move. It's distracting with a DVD of Hugo

[20:46] He's never seen a movie before

[20:49] Enjoy the magic of the movies idiot

[20:53] He's trying to chew on the DVD he doesn't know what to do with it. Oh, that's not a baguette, buddy

[20:58] It's a tribute to the early days of silent film asshole

[21:04] The next

[21:06] movie

[21:07] And this and this I've never actually seen that

[21:12] Les Mis movie. Is it good bad?

[21:15] It's not great I I respect the choice that was made to have them

[21:22] Record the sound live for the the singing rather than, you know, juice it up in the studio and make it sound

[21:30] Like auto-tune the shit. Yeah grow, but it's shot in a lot of extreme close-ups, which are kind of weird and

[21:38] As previously said like Russell Crowe, he does fine for a man who's not a Broadway singer, but he's not a Broadway singer

[21:45] And Hathaway is very good

[21:48] Anyway the next movie

[21:51] Buffalo Bill and the Indians or sitting Bulls history lesson

[21:55] 1976 this film is directed by Robert Altman one of my personal faves

[22:00] So it is odd that I have not seen this movie similar

[22:04] I've been actively putting off seeing for many years. Really? Yeah, just cuz I'm worried. It's not gonna be very good. Yeah

[22:11] Sometimes you get a great movie from Altman. Sometimes you get a quintet. Well, you're like I

[22:16] Should have not watched this, you know, well, you know what I'll skip to some trivia for this

[22:22] Maybe that'll make it more interesting to you

[22:25] Apparently Paul Newman cites this as one of his favorites of his own work

[22:30] So it edges out movies like the verdict which casting the Sundance kid salad dressing commercials

[22:38] He likes this one but

[22:41] IMDb describes a plot

[22:43] thusly a

[22:45] Cynical Buffalo Bill hires sitting bull to exploit him and to add his credibility to hit the distorted view of history

[22:53] presented in his Wild West show

[22:56] Starring Paul Newman, Joel Gray Kevin McCarthy and Harvey Keitel

[23:01] Where do you what do you think? I'm gonna shoot the moon and hope that it's Paul Newman

[23:08] Close your birthday twin is Buffalo Bill. Oh

[23:12] first name William Frederick Cody

[23:15] February 26

[23:17] 1846 and presuming that you know as little about Buffalo Bill as I do I will I will present

[23:24] What I gleaned very quickly about him a Union soldier in the Civil War

[23:29] He got the nickname Buffalo Bill as the result of a contract to supply workers for the Kansas Pacific

[23:36] Railroad with buffalo meat. He killed many buffalos to

[23:40] Buffalo me a writer named Ned

[23:43] Butline wrote highly fictionalized or his line Ned Bunch line. It's not like I said, but okay

[23:51] anyway

[23:53] Because there is such thing as a butt line, it's just the line in the middle of a pretty sure I did say bunt line

[23:59] But let's I mean I enjoy the tape but talk

[24:03] He wrote highly fictionalized stories and a novel based on Buffalo Bill's tales of his life

[24:08] which became a hit play and led to Bill having his touring Wild West show, which had various incarnations, but

[24:15] combined theater with horse tricks with shooting with lies about Native Americans, so that is

[24:21] Buffalo Bill, what do you think you have in common with?

[24:25] historical figure

[24:26] that's

[24:28] you know the I would say the

[24:32] Fictionalized story of Stuart Wellington is a little bit larger than the man himself. Mm-hmm and

[24:40] Also, I could use a cool little animal nickname in front of Stu like Buffalo Stu Buffalo Stu

[24:47] That's pretty good. I mean, but it sounds like a

[24:51] Dish like Buffalo Stu does sound like something you would eat. Yeah instead of Buffalo Bill, which sounds like a like a

[25:03] Bring me the Buffalo Bill, please

[25:07] And

[25:11] So this

[25:14] Next and last for you Stuart

[25:18] So far yeah, very unexpected this one is a short

[25:25] It comes at the end odd to put the short at the end, but that's the way I did it. It's a red-hot riding hood from

[25:33] 1943 classic

[25:34] Seven minute animated short in which a wolf is horny for a human female nightclub singer makes sense directed by Tex Avery

[25:42] Sarah Berner provided red speaking voice Connie Russell was her singing voice and

[25:48] Dawes Butler whom you may know as Yogi Bear

[25:51] Snagglepuss Huckleberry Hound is one of two listed voice actors on IMDb who did wolf howls for that short

[25:59] Well two other voice actors did wolf dialogue

[26:02] So it took four actors to bring the wolf to life and red hot riding hood

[26:08] And here is some trivia I got from the wiki

[26:12] apparently the short

[26:14] Originally ended with a shotgun wedding between red and the wolf but censors nixed that because they thought it implied

[26:21] Bestiality so it was replaced with the family-friendly

[26:24] Existing ending where the wolf merely commits suicide by shooting himself in the head with two pistols

[26:31] The whole cartoon is about how much this wolf wants to fuck this woman

[26:36] Can't show them get married that implies that that there's a sex thing involved. Yeah. Well, that sounds like me

[26:45] Yeah, I see but she can't give into it yeah, yeah

[26:49] So, what do you think?

[26:52] well

[26:53] Do you think it's red hot riding hood? Do you think that's your thing? The character is probably not me

[26:59] Yeah, I don't want the the wolf character

[27:02] Mm-hmm

[27:06] Wait, who's the animator Tex Avery? I'm gonna guess Tex Avery. You are correct. Yeah

[27:13] Frederick Bean Avery on February 26

[27:17] 1908 so what do you think you have in common with?

[27:21] famous

[27:22] animator

[27:23] Animator, why did I can't talk today guys animator? It's okay. Thanks a very Esther. Um the I would say

[27:31] I don't know like

[27:34] We're both horny weirdos who like comics and stuff, you know, that's true

[27:40] That's pretty straightforward. I feel like horny weirdo who likes comics. Yeah and stuff and stuff you like stuff as well

[27:47] You don't don't don't don't pigeonhole me. You were also instrumental in the development of Bugs Bunny, right?

[27:53] Just the other thing. Yeah

[27:55] Hey, we've reached the midpoint of this mini, so

[27:58] Elliot, why don't you plug our Boston show and also maybe if you have any personal projects you want to talk about

[28:05] I'd love to well, I'm always working on myself on my own emotions on how I'm either resilient or resistant or

[28:12] Active in this world. So that's the biggest project right now. It's called me

[28:15] But before we get to that, let's talk about how the Flophouse is gonna be in Boston, Massachusetts. That's right. We're gone to bass man

[28:22] That's a Boston accent, right now is the part of the episode where I Elliot Kaelin tell you about our upcoming live shows

[28:28] And I do it at the same time. We record the rest of the episode. It's certainly not a

[28:33] Message that was recorded later using information. We didn't have at the time. We were recording the episode

[28:38] We're all right here in the room together. Just like normal recording all episode right Dan. Yeah, right, Stu. Oh, yeah, dude

[28:45] So let me tell you about it in this perfectly real-time

[28:48] Explanation on July 26th. We will be in Boston, Massachusetts

[28:52] Doing a live show courtesy of WB you are at WB you are city space now as we know

[28:58] And certainly didn't learn after recording the rest of the episode that show is sold out right now

[29:03] You can no longer buy tickets to see it in person

[29:06] But WB you are has opened up the ability for you to live stream it

[29:10] So go to Flophouse podcast comm slash events and click on the info and ticks button

[29:15] For that show it'll take you to the page where you can buy a live streaming ticket now

[29:18] I should warn you. This is just gonna be a pretty basic

[29:21] Straightforward in the moment live stream. It's not going to be the kind of

[29:26] Beautifully polished beautifully edited immaculately shot show that we've been doing with stage pilot lately

[29:31] If you saw our speed to show you saw how good gorgeous that looked how well put together

[29:35] It was that's thanks to the fine people at stage pilot. This is not going to be as polished as that

[29:40] This is not going to be as polished as that this can be a little more rag tag

[29:44] So don't expect the level of production that you've come to expect from the Flophouse stage pilot collaboration

[29:50] This is just us and WB you are live streaming a show that otherwise you wouldn't be able to see because it's sold out

[29:55] So please go to Flophouse podcast comm slash events. Click on the info

[30:00] info and ticks button for Boston and it'll take you that page if you would like to live

[30:03] stream the episode because you can't make it there in person or you couldn't get a ticket

[30:09] or you decide maybe you want to watch it both ways and you'll be sitting in the audience

[30:13] with a computer in your lap live streaming the show as it happens in order to do it do

[30:18] a lag test I guess maybe anyway that's what you can do so we'll be in Boston July 26th

[30:25] that show is sold out but you can live stream it just go to flophousepodcast.com slash events

[30:31] for more information I also wanted to mention two personal projects of my own one of them

[30:36] was mentioned earlier in this episode that's right the comic book Hercules or Disney Hercules

[30:40] is out in comic book stores now it's on shelves written by me from dynamite comics and it

[30:47] continues the adventures of Hercules the world's mightiest mortal hero of Olympus and champion

[30:53] of ancient Greece and it is a series that starts out with kind of individual issues

[30:58] and they build to a larger story and I'm now currently writing the second to last issue

[31:04] of the series it's projected to be a 12 issue series and things have gotten big in scope

[31:09] epic in scope and very exciting and I'm really loving writing it be ready to see all the

[31:14] favorite characters you love from Hercules and also a bunch of new characters from Greek

[31:18] mythology and does polyphemus show up polyphemus does not currently show up but you know what

[31:24] I wish I thought to have him in yeah he's pretty cool you can make a joke because he

[31:28] only has one eye Dan I mean I mean I don't know what his deal is I'm not a Greek mythology

[31:33] okay first go on so well then we won't we won't make Dan feel dumb by talking about

[34:56] now it's time for me to get the treatment oh boy Elliot of course born on December 3rd

[35:02] and Elliot's birth year Raiders of the Lost Ark was tops of the box office well about his birth

[35:09] year and his birth week like the weekend after your birth yep okay Raiders of the Lost Ark was

[35:14] topped also doing well in theaters Reds up next Time Bandits Arthur and the French lieutenant's

[35:21] woman Wow a little snapshot of your birthday BO and there's it's amazing how it's sad to me how

[35:30] few of those movies would be tops at the box office now basically maybe Raiders and the rest

[35:36] this don't make Arthur would be huge at the box office I mean if they would make a feature-length

[35:45] comedy then yeah it could be but yeah I mean in the world that we live there's a comedy jokes I

[35:52] know we're still feeling the reverberate reverberating effects of the strike that we

[35:57] took part in but you know these days it's like one movie opens a week it seems like and that's

[36:04] yes don't blame the strike for that Dan this is the culmination of a lot of bad decisions by a

[36:09] lot of top executives no I agree I agree it's a it's one factor of many my birthday here okay

[36:18] well let's get let's get back to it shall we in the first Garfield for some reason let's get to

[36:24] my birthday from finally well let's stop talking about cartoon cats and start talking about a

[36:29] cartoon monkey what is there such a thing monkey bone 2001 a mere two years after one of his biggest

[36:38] hits 1999's the mummy Brendan Fraser stars in one of his most notorious flops monkey bone the live

[36:44] action animation hybrid that put his director stop-motion legend Henry Selick in director jail

[36:50] for eight years until Coraline in 2009 it's sort of like a less horny cool world a cartoonist falls

[36:59] into a coma and is trapped in a limbo that looks like his own underground comic while his creation

[37:04] the mischievous monkey boy monkey bone you know I've been to I like I've been to a neurologist

[37:15] I just have a clumsy tongue anyway if you were talking about Kramer versus Kramer like he did

[37:24] first do it and you're like it's telling the story of Kramen in his court fight against Kamalou it's

[37:29] like come on wait a minute so monkey bone anyway hey the mischievous monkey bone voiced by John

[37:37] Totoro inhabits his body in the real world it's a movie that definitely has flaws but I maintain

[37:43] it's underrated it has a long sequence where Chris Kattan plays a corpse that's the most I've ever

[37:48] laughed at Chris Kattan also according to IMDB trivia Cartoon Network went on to make their hit

[37:55] late-night block Adult Swim after receiving criticism from parents for supporting this movie

[38:00] during their regular programming so apparently Adult Swim exists in part to have the freedom

[38:06] to support things like monkey bone I've heard people to see it but it has its charms it's it's

[38:16] a mess but it looks interesting thanks to Henry Selick has some funny bits monkey bone who do you

[38:22] think out of the rich tapestry that is monkey bone who's your birthday twin now it's could be

[38:29] Chris Kattan cuz Kattan and Kaylin kind of sound a little similar but I'm gonna say you guys bring

[38:35] the same energy to the party yeah yeah I'm gonna say whoopie Goldberg she's a big Goldberg is in

[38:40] monkey bone but your birthday twin is Brendan Fraser I had no idea he was born on December

[38:49] 3rd 1968 what would you say you have in common with internet favorite Brendan Fraser hmm what do

[38:59] I have in common with internet favorite Brendan Fraser I mean I actually do you receive like a

[39:06] soup you received a super long-standing ovation at con right yes I did that's true and I did win

[39:12] Best Actor for The Whale yeah I think I once I remember there was a he did a promo for Comedy

[39:18] Central once where he's correcting his name is Fraser and not Frasier or something like that or

[39:22] maybe the other way around and I'm also very sensitive to my last name being mispronounced

[39:26] when people say Callen or Kalon instead of Kaylin so I think that's what we have in common is we're

[39:30] both prickly about making sure our last names are pronounced correctly I probably pronounced it

[39:35] incorrectly despite having it right in front of me it is F R A S E R so there's it's not like

[39:40] Brendan Fraser yeah yeah it's not like the radio psychologist we all know Brendan Fraser knows

[39:48] what to do with scrambled eggs and toss them yeah even though sometimes baby the Blues are calling

[39:53] yeah of course he's very open I think about how the Blues have been calling him at times yeah oh

[39:58] that's the other thing I think

[40:00] I think an open struggle with depression.

[40:02] I think would be the other thing I would come up with.

[40:04] Apparently it says while laughing.

[40:06] Hey, you gotta laugh, dude, come on.

[40:09] That's what you do, you gotta laugh.

[40:10] You gotta laugh.

[40:11] You gotta laugh.

[40:12] You gotta laugh, sad clown, it makes sense.

[40:14] Your next movie is from 2009,

[40:18] and it is titled Chloe, an erotic thriller

[40:22] where Julianne Moore hires Amanda Seyfried

[40:25] to test her husband, Liam Neeson's faithfulness,

[40:27] but instead, Moore and Seyfried end up fucking each other

[40:30] in a film I can only assume was made

[40:32] as the answer to some horny prayer I made while asleep.

[40:35] Directed by Canadian art house fave, Adam Agoyan.

[40:39] Oh.

[40:41] Chloe.

[40:42] I'm gonna say-

[40:43] Who do you think?

[40:44] Chloe.

[40:45] I'm gonna say Adam Agoyan.

[40:47] I'm afraid you're incorrect, and this one is a trick.

[40:51] Both Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore

[40:54] were born on December 3rd.

[40:56] Oh, so you think they celebrated a double birthday

[40:58] during the making of the movie?

[41:00] Yeah, Seyfried in 85, Moore in 60.

[41:04] So they are birthday buds together in Chloe.

[41:10] What do you think you have?

[41:11] If you ever wanna see a movie where two people

[41:13] with the same birthday have sex, well, Chloe is it.

[41:16] If that's your specific kink.

[41:18] Yep.

[41:19] Check out Chloe in your local library.

[41:21] They both get to use the,

[41:23] but it's my birthday argument.

[41:26] Right, Dan?

[41:27] You know what I'm talking about.

[41:27] Mm-hmm.

[41:32] I guess so.

[41:34] What do you think you have in common

[41:36] with these two fine actresses?

[41:38] It's hard for me to think.

[41:39] I mean, we all breathe oxygen in

[41:41] and let carbon dioxide out.

[41:44] You know, we all have to bring in food and excrete waste.

[41:46] That's all I can think of.

[41:47] Yeah, yeah, oh man.

[41:48] He's gonna use this answer for everyone.

[41:50] Yeah.

[41:51] I'm open to suggestions.

[41:53] Well, let's see.

[41:55] Let's see.

[41:56] I think Amanda Seyfried had showed

[41:59] some real comic talent in Mean Girls.

[42:03] Yeah, she's kind of nerdy in Jennifer's body, right?

[42:06] Like she wears glasses and that, right?

[42:08] Yep, that's true.

[42:09] So there's that.

[42:10] Yeah.

[42:11] And I assume that, like in Short Cuts,

[42:16] you argue with your spouse with no pants

[42:19] or underwear on a lot.

[42:22] I don't know about a lot, but it's happened.

[42:24] Sure, yeah.

[42:25] Sure, so that's what you have in common with Julianne Moore.

[42:27] Yeah.

[42:28] Or at least her Short Cuts character.

[42:30] We also are known for performing with strong Boston accents

[42:34] like she did in 30 Rock and I did in that promo.

[42:37] Yeah.

[42:39] Oh, wow, yeah, perfect.

[42:39] See, you just go digging and you find all these connections.

[42:42] Yeah, you find gold, yeah.

[42:43] Yeah.

[42:45] The next film from 2001, Moulin Rouge.

[42:51] Baz Luhrmann's anachronistic musical extravaganza

[42:54] about love and pop music

[42:56] and the famously sexy Parisian nightclub

[42:59] starring Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, Jim Broadbrent,

[43:03] and John Leguizamo not playing a cartoon monkey,

[43:05] but instead famous artist Toulouse-Lautrec

[43:08] with cartoon energy.

[43:11] We rewatched, Audrey and I rewatched 80% of this recently

[43:15] because we saw the Broadway show, which we, it was fine.

[43:20] We didn't care for it that much.

[43:21] It mostly made us appreciate the movie, which held up well.

[43:25] So what do you think?

[43:27] What do you think your birthday twin is?

[43:29] Could be, perhaps is,

[43:32] someone completely unmentioned thus far.

[43:36] Okay.

[43:39] Don't look at this so much as a game as-

[43:41] I would say-

[43:42] Content for our podcast.

[43:43] I'm throwing in a guess, I'm throwing in a guess.

[43:45] Yeah.

[43:46] I'm jumping in here.

[43:47] Based just on Elliot's general vibe and attitude,

[43:50] I would say Lil' Kim from the Lady Marmalade song.

[43:55] Yeah.

[43:56] That's a solid guess.

[43:57] I know it's not, so there's no, hmm, let's see.

[44:03] What about Madonna?

[44:04] There's a Madonna song in there, right?

[44:06] There is, they use Material Girl

[44:08] as part of the Diamonds medley

[44:11] that introduces Nicole Kidman.

[44:14] But your birthday twin, my friend, is Ozzy Osbourne,

[44:18] who is one of the voices of the Green Fairy.

[44:21] Kylie Minogue is the on-screen Green Fairy

[44:23] and does some of the singing and noises,

[44:27] but when the fairy does a rock and roll scream, that's Ozzy.

[44:31] I knew Ozzy Osbourne was a birthday twin of mine.

[44:33] I didn't know he was in Moulin Rouge, yeah.

[44:35] December 3rd, 1948.

[44:36] What do you think you have in common with Ozzy Osbourne?

[44:39] We both love metal.

[44:41] Bats.

[44:42] We both-

[44:44] Bats and chickens.

[44:45] Love eating bats, yeah.

[44:46] We love eating bats.

[44:48] Yeah, we're both carnivores.

[44:50] We both have trouble hearing sometimes.

[44:52] As I'm getting older, my hearing is getting worse,

[44:54] and I have to assume his is non-existent at this point.

[44:59] Do you wander around your house like Yoda,

[45:01] complaining to your family?

[45:03] I mean, yeah, pretty, yeah, I think so.

[45:05] That sounds about right.

[45:06] I feel like that sounds like Ellie to me.

[45:09] Okay, well, we found out-

[45:11] This is going really well.

[45:13] One Osbourne, Osbourne, yeah.

[45:16] The next movie is Girls Trip, 2017.

[45:21] The raunchy, woman-led,

[45:23] we're all going on a sexy trip to New Orleans comedy hit,

[45:26] starring Regina Hall, Queen Latifah,

[45:29] Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish,

[45:31] directed by Malcolm D. Lee,

[45:34] who did Undercover Brother,

[45:35] but also, unfortunately, Space Jam, A New Legacy.

[45:38] So, a checkered history.

[45:41] I saw Girls Trip on a plane, as I do many movies.

[45:44] I was loving it, but we landed 20 minutes before the end,

[45:47] so I went home and rented it to see the ending.

[45:50] They got you.

[45:51] Only to discover that the comedy parts had ended,

[45:54] and we just had these soggy, sentimental,

[45:56] making-up parts at the end

[45:58] that I probably could have gone without,

[45:59] but still very funny.

[46:01] You got closure, it makes sense.

[46:02] I got closure.

[46:03] Not disclosure.

[46:04] No.

[46:05] Very different.

[46:06] We got that last week.

[46:07] Dan, I don't like that.

[46:09] Don't pretend like you don't like that one.

[46:11] Come on.

[46:13] Who do you think your birthday twin is, Elliot?

[46:14] Who do you think you share a birthday?

[46:18] That's four stars in that movie.

[46:20] Who are the stars in it again?

[46:23] You got Regina Hall.

[46:24] You got Queen Latifah.

[46:26] Yeah.

[46:27] You got Jada Pinkett Smith,

[46:27] and you got Tiffany Haddish.

[46:29] Show me Queen Latifah.

[46:32] No, your birthday twin is Tiffany Haddish.

[46:34] Oh.

[46:35] Just one year off, I believe.

[46:37] No, two years off.

[46:38] December 3rd, 1979.

[46:41] One year off of me.

[46:43] But that's not your birthday.

[46:44] Yeah.

[46:45] No.

[46:47] Almost his year twin.

[46:48] Yeah, my year twin.

[46:52] Otherwise known as someone who's the same age.

[46:55] Yes.

[46:56] You only have millions of those, yeah.

[46:59] So Tiffany Haddish, of course,

[47:01] I think the parallels are clear.

[47:03] Yeah.

[47:04] I think Elliot, I think Tiffany Haddish.

[47:05] When I look in a mirror, that's what I see.

[47:07] Tiffany Haddish, yeah.

[47:08] Big comedic force.

[47:13] Fearless.

[47:14] Not afraid to go there.

[47:17] Yeah.

[47:18] She played a detective on the after party.

[47:20] You've got kind of a boy detective vibe.

[47:23] Sure, I guess, yeah.

[47:24] That's, yeah, that's possible.

[47:28] I think we did it.

[47:30] Yeah.

[47:31] There's one more.

[47:32] One more.

[47:34] In the interest of keeping things tight,

[47:37] that double one counted for two.

[47:40] Really?

[47:40] So that was my scheme.

[47:42] Oh, okay.

[47:43] That seems like not really fair.

[47:44] Like I didn't get as much as Stewart, but that's okay.

[47:46] It's one of Dan's dastardly schemes.

[47:50] I mean, what are you gonna do?

[47:51] What you get is you get out of this mini

[47:53] in time for your hard out that you mentioned earlier.

[47:55] It's true.

[47:56] I do have a meeting to go to

[47:57] that I have to drive to across town, yeah.

[47:58] Yeah, so the final film is from 1993.

[48:03] We all remember it, Reckless Kelly,

[48:06] the second film on this list I have not seen.

[48:09] So again, I turned to the IMDb synopsis.

[48:11] I've definitely seen this movie, let me interrupt.

[48:13] I watched Reckless Kelly the first time I ever dropped acid.

[48:17] What?

[48:18] We watched Captain Ron and Reckless Kelly,

[48:21] and we also played a shitload of Killer Instinct

[48:23] in my friend John Clipstein's basement.

[48:26] And I remember watching it and being like,

[48:30] this is the funniest fucking movie

[48:32] I've ever seen in my life.

[48:33] And I was like quoting it for days,

[48:36] and I've never watched it again.

[48:38] Yeah, I don't think you should.

[48:39] I just remember there is a character

[48:41] named Robin Banks in it.

[48:43] Okay, yeah, that's pretty good.

[48:45] It would only spoil your experience of Reckless Kelly,

[48:48] which is a-

[48:49] Starring Ryan Sears here.

[48:51] Famous midnight movie.

[48:52] People just dropping acid, getting high,

[48:54] going to see Reckless Kelly.

[48:56] Man.

[48:57] Described as the Australian Robin Hood.

[48:59] Kelly is a bank robber, a pop culture hero,

[49:02] and video shop owner.

[49:04] This modern story tells how he is furious

[49:07] when a Japanese company wants to buy his band's farm.

[49:10] So I'm sure that's not insensitive in any way.

[49:13] Probably not, no.

[49:15] And the movie features such respected actors

[49:17] as Melora Hardin and Hugo Weaving.

[49:20] And of course, it stars-

[49:21] Made in Australia, yeah.

[49:22] Yeah, it stars, was written and directed

[49:25] by Australian comedian Yahoo! Sirius

[49:28] during his brief flirtation with international success

[49:30] and one tidbit from Yahoo! Sirius' Wikipedia page.

[49:35] In August 2000, Yahoo! Sirius sued the search engine Yahoo!

[49:40] for trademark infringement.

[49:42] The case was thrown out because Sirius could not prove

[49:45] that he sells products or services under the name Yahoo!

[49:48] And therefore could not prove that he suffered harm

[49:51] or confusion due to the search engine.

[49:53] So a standing issue for Yahoo! Sirius.

[49:57] He was unable to take-

[50:00] So who do you think your birthday twin is in this whole morass, this whole mishmash

[50:07] of things?

[50:10] It better be Yahoo Serious, right?

[50:13] Or Ned Kelly.

[50:14] Was it Ned Kelly?

[50:15] Stewart, you're correct.

[50:17] Your birthday twin is Ned Kelly.

[50:19] The actual person.

[50:20] The folk hero, Australian outlaw who inspired Reckless Kelly.

[50:26] I'll mention a missed opportunity, Dan, is you could have chosen Apocalypse Now, because

[50:37] I am also a birthday twin with Joseph Conrad, who's been part of Darkness, Apocalypse Now

[50:41] is based on.

[50:42] Or you could have chosen any home movie of an old birthday, since I have a twin.

[50:47] I have an actual birthday twin, a twin sister who was born on the same day as me, from the

[50:51] same womb.

[50:54] But what movie was she in?

[50:58] Good point.

[50:59] Yeah.

[51:00] Yeah.

[51:01] What?

[51:02] What?

[51:03] What?

[51:04] Like feature film?

[51:05] Jurassic Park 3.

[51:06] Oh, no.

[51:07] She wasn't really in that.

[51:08] If only.

[51:09] Wouldn't that be cool?

[51:10] It would be great.

[51:11] She's just listed as additional dinosaur sounds.

[51:12] Yeah.

[51:13] Yeah.

[51:14] Ellie, what would you say you have in common with Ned Kelly?

[51:15] Just sort of an outlaw attitude.

[51:16] Yeah.

[51:17] I mean, we're both we're both rebels.

[51:19] We're both we refuse to be tied down, refuse to play by the rules.

[51:23] I feel like you do both those things a lot.

[51:25] Yeah.

[51:26] You get tied down and you play by the rules.

[51:28] I don't think so.

[51:29] We're both Australian.

[51:30] Wow.

[51:31] He's gone way off.

[51:32] We both have a last name that starts with K.

[51:34] You can't take that away from me.

[51:35] There you go.

[51:36] That's actually true.

[51:37] The letter K.

[51:38] Yeah.

[51:39] I share a couple of letters with the with the famous outlaw, Ned Kelly.

[51:44] Yeah.

[51:45] Well, this was a podcast.

[51:47] No one could argue with that.

[51:49] No.

[51:50] But I think that factually, you will find you'll be thrown out of court on a standing

[51:54] issue.

[51:55] Should you try?

[51:56] Yeah.

[51:57] Why are you suing us?

[51:58] Yahoo Serious arguing that Yahoo, the search engine, can't exist.

[52:01] That is the idea that he has the rights to the word Yahoo is pretty ridiculous.

[52:05] That's a ridiculous argument.

[52:06] Yeah.

[52:07] Yeah.

[52:08] He could not be serious at that.

[52:09] Right.

[52:10] Yeah.

[52:11] You could put a little more Chandler Bing on that line, but that's OK.

[52:15] You think he sells T-shirts of, say, why so serious?

[52:19] It's a picture of him.

[52:20] Yahoo Serious.

[52:21] Mm hmm.

[52:22] Mm hmm.

[52:23] Yeah.

[52:24] He's young.

[52:25] Einstein hair, you know, gone crazy.

[52:26] Yeah.

[52:27] That he's in the bootleg T-shirt business.

[52:28] Yeah.

[52:29] Like of himself.

[52:30] Yeah.

[52:31] Yeah.

[52:32] Yeah.

[52:33] Yeah.

[52:34] He's like, dear boardwalk stores, I have a product.

[52:38] You know, all those those T-shirts of Marilyn Monroe with photoshopped tattoos and pistols

[52:44] in her hands.

[52:45] In reparations, I demand a bunch of Rasta Bart shirts, please.

[52:50] Oh, man.

[52:51] You know.

[52:52] Nothing like a bootleg Bart.

[52:54] I need at least one T-shirt of Mickey Mouse puffing on a joint.

[52:58] Thank you.

[52:59] Love.

[53:00] Why serious?

[53:01] I want Rick and Morty, I don't know, dressed up in like something kind of cool, like cool

[53:07] clothes, maybe looking like they're rappers or something.

[53:10] Yeah.

[53:11] Cool clothes.

[53:12] I want a turtle shirt where the coloring is wrong and the bandanas are all the wrong

[53:15] color or a T-shirt of Barack Obama as Superman dunking a basketball, which is a real shirt

[53:22] that I saw being sold on the streets of New York.

[53:25] That's amazing.

[53:26] Well, anyway, happy birthday to me in the future or the past, when you're listening

[53:30] to this.

[53:31] And happy birthday to you guys when it comes around to your birthdays.

[53:33] I mean, I guess it's both in the future and the past.

[53:36] I know.

[53:37] I created.

[53:38] It happens once a year, too.

[53:39] Yeah.

[53:40] Paradox.

[53:42] This is a tradition from now on, you listeners should be listening to this episode on your

[53:46] birthday every year.

[53:47] Every year.

[53:48] Put it on.

[53:49] Your family will say, why are we doing this?

[53:55] Turn your laptop speakers.

[53:56] It seems like a flimsy premise to build a tradition around, but yeah, aircast this podcast

[54:03] to your family's TV so they can't escape it.

[54:06] Yeah.

[54:07] I just just get ready for them to be confused when it abruptly switches subjects from Garfield

[54:10] to birthdays.

[54:11] Yeah.

[54:12] No, that's everyone's favorite part every year.

[54:15] Here it comes.

[54:18] You always introduce you always bring a new person in who hasn't heard the episodes.

[54:21] They can be they can.

[54:22] You can watch them experiencing it.

[54:23] Yeah.

[54:24] I thought this was about Garfield.

[54:25] Mm hmm.

[54:26] Oh, no.

[54:27] My reaction.

[54:28] The reaction video I saw years ago of someone had taken Toy Story three and edited it so

[54:32] that as they're going into the furnace, it just fades to black and cuts to show that

[54:36] to their family.

[54:38] And their mom was like, what?

[54:40] That's how it ends.

[54:41] So good.

[54:42] What a great prank.

[54:43] It means you have to watch all of Toy Story three to get to that moment.

[54:50] This is a great movie.

[54:51] It's fun to watch it.

[54:52] Yeah.

[54:53] Like we're going to sit down and watch this movie.

[54:54] You watch the whole thing.

[54:55] You change the ending.

[54:56] Well, I think of this podcast as a prank we've played on you, the listener.

[55:04] Yeah.

[55:05] But like a fun one, one that you enjoyed.

[55:06] Oh, yeah.

[55:08] One of those pranks where you're just like, oh, you guys, you know, yeah.

[55:51] So wait a minute.

[55:53] Can can there be scampis that don't have shrimp or is scampi a shrimp specific food?

[55:59] Let's look it up.
