Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey WKRP Cincinnati, what are we gonna do? Uh-huh. Yeah, what Wolfman Jack, what are we gonna do? Well, what we're gonna do, friends, is this is the flop house. It's a podcast normally about bad movies. We watch a bad movie and then we talk about it. Last week's episode, Hilbilly Elegy, is one such of those episodes, the main episodes, as you would call them, but then on the off weeks we just mess around do other things,
Starting point is 00:00:33 mostly related movies, sometimes not. But tonight, you know, before I introduce what we're doing, let's introduce ourselves. Sounds great. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Stuart Wellington. My name's Elliot Kaelin. You might know me as Dan McCoy. I'm Stewart Wellington. My name is Elliot Kaelin. You might know me as the writer of Maniac of New York. They hit comic from after shot comics, Dan. Elliot, well Dan was doing his introduction. I was watching you as you were like clearly working through your three in your head. Whether or not Dan was going to fuck it up or not. And he, Dan, he stuck that landing. This is one of the fucking lack of faith.
Starting point is 00:01:06 One of the things that keeps the thrill alive for me is never knowing whether things are gonna go slide ways when Dan is saying stuff. So it really, it means that the spice never goes out of our recording relationship. Yeah, that's true. Well, that's what's called the wildcard theory of romance and podcasting.
Starting point is 00:01:28 OK, so we've introduced ourselves. That's the most important thing. But the second most important thing is to introduce the premise of this Flophouse mini, where we are not talking about a bad movie. What we are doing is I am returning to the well one of my most popular bits. Everybody loves it.
Starting point is 00:01:45 From the one time we did it before, I'm going to quiz you on some IMDB Goofs. And because of the sequel, I'm calling this Goofs Tooths. So anyone who's picking up the show for the first time after seeing our Teen Wolf live show that we had recently. Thank you very much for watching that show by the way. We had a great outpouring from the fans.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Great response. We really appreciate it. Helping us all out for anyone who is joining us now as a radio listener. Stick around for at least one more episode. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad you brought up our live show. What is this lack of faith? Our live show is that. It was like so blown away. I was touched by the response.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I remember, I mean, Dan texted me right after and said he thought we should have had a bigger turnout. But I was like, no, Dan, the turnout was great. Dan texted me about, like, about those, I'll see if those jackasses understand what we're landing. And I was like, Dan, I think fans are great. I texted something that said I'm ungrateful which is weird that I would just text the subtext to you but yeah yeah what are
Starting point is 00:02:54 you HBO's Game of Thrones TV show? Hmm, Hmm, Trenchant. I guess. So this is, hey, I understand it but here's the rules of this bit. So we're going to do a little contest, a little trivia contest. Goose Tooth, do you call it? Yeah, I call it Goose Tooth, too. Now you may be aware that there is a little website or a big website at this point, known
Starting point is 00:03:17 as IMDB, the Internet, Movie, Database. From almost the dawn I give the internet, this has been the premier site to just look up that movie. Who was in that movie? Those are the people who were in that movie. Those are the people who worked on it. It's a clearing ground for all that sort of credit information largely, but it has other things. It has a goof section for many of these and IMGB is Managed on you know sort of a wiki model not exactly that but users do a lot of the Information Gathering that's why my friend John Kingman was able to
Starting point is 00:03:58 Make it look like I was the set dresser for the bikini car wash company Briefly it's why even why there were many, many years when, according to IMDB, the greatest film of all time was the Shawshank Redemption, a perfectly fine movie. I like very much, but that is hardly the pinnacle of cinematic achievement, you know. The IMDB part of that also is why I am mislabeled as having a part in a Wiggles movie or video or something.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Yeah, I'm pirates, right? Yeah. And why in my trivia, on my entry, it of course mentions my lifelong friendship with Annie Hathaway, which has only the most tenuous relationship with reality, that fact. Yeah, well, yeah, that is obviously flop house fan mischief. It also has the wrong birth year for me. Someone shaved a year off of my age, which thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:04:50 It wasn't me, but I appreciate it. You know, you've got everything in this business. Uh, uh, don't I know it, man. My, my, my, it was faded. My favorite thing about IMDB is how, no matter what, no matter what actor I pick, it they are always going to have at least one credited appearance on the TV show Harry's Law.
Starting point is 00:05:13 That is the Law of Harry. I mean, every actor has been on Harry's Law. I'm pretty short-lived program too. I feel like that's a strange about it. The actors that Stu looks up on IMDB are a self-selected group. I feel like it's... He's mostly looking up Kathy Bates with his wide ears. Where do I know her from? So okay, well, but the point of what I was saying is that on IMDb, people can tribute goofs.
Starting point is 00:05:43 point of what I was saying is that on IMTP, people can tribute goofs, little bloopers, if you will, in the movie that just got, you know, did not get edited out. No one caught them along the way. Like a Starbucks cup and the aforementioned Game of Thrones. These are just goofs. Like someone zipping their fly right on camera in Teen Wolf. As we talked about during our Teen Wolf Live show, I'm sorry to keep referencing it,
Starting point is 00:06:05 it will never be seen or heard again. So for anyone who missed that, apologize, I'm really tantalizing you. I don't know why you're... That is the original mythology was that tantalist when he was being punished in the afterlife. They would promise him he would get to see our Teen Wolf live show and then go,
Starting point is 00:06:21 oh, sorry, you missed the window. Oh. Yeah. But the point is, so the idea is that the greater viewing public have about what makes a goof, or maybe a little broader, more expansive than you might imagine. No, Dan Wood. Do goofs include bloops?
Starting point is 00:06:44 I think a bloop is more you know a flood that is recognized. Dan don't throw more terminology at me. Use plain English. Come on. A goof is a flood. Come on, nerd layer. Now a best boy uses his grip to grip onto this flub to gaff Are you guys talking about fucking man again? We're talking about make stew. Don't get me started on man. I have a lot to say about it Don't yank his man
Starting point is 00:07:26 Somebody send me that shirt send me a shirt and said, don't yank my mate crank. I promise you, I will take a picture wearing it. That's our close to you. That's my yank mate crank pledge. So, it's something out of a Dr. Sus book. When he watched, mate, it made him crank. So, don't y know his make cranked and you're gonna hold up like a copy of today's newspaper so i know it was a forged photo right
Starting point is 00:07:52 yeah exactly so you know you take it a hundred years in the past uh... a goof i think i think that it's really good for the bloopers someone catches the blue no longer way so it ends up hopefully on a blooperial at the end, although every time I watch a serious movie, I'm always disappointed there's no bloops at the end. Something funny must have happened
Starting point is 00:08:15 on the set of the little things. Why is there no bloops at the end? You know, I both want to live in a world with more bloops and I remember how like being there ends with a bunch of bloopers and it's so strange after the movie that we've just watched. Peter Sellers was apparently very unhappy about that. I mean, yeah, he thought it lost on the Oscar, didn't he? I don't know about that. Maybe I think he felt that he had he had constructed
Starting point is 00:08:38 this performance and held it to the whole movie and then how I should be was like, hey, check this dude out. It's just Peter Sellers, don't think it's really that guy. Yeah. Okay, well anyway, the point is, I'm going to read off one of these crowd sourced goofs and you gentlemen are going to have to guess what movie the bloop comes from, I will keep score. Okay. I will keep score. Okay, I'm gonna...
Starting point is 00:09:06 Despite the title of the film, Godzilla never bumps his shin on anything. Is it shin Godzilla? No, it's not. Okay, so this is the first bloop. Toast the knowing turns the crank of the music box in the wrong direction. What a bloop
Starting point is 00:09:26 Wait, wouldn't that be a wouldn't that be a goof and not a bloop? Yeah, that feels like it's the first goof of the Sorry, sorry, sorry, what a goof that was a that was a you know what that was a that was a bloop goof I feel like that was yeah, that was it Well, we'll put the goof bloop real at the end. Yeah, I feel like a a blue put a benefit if you've gone to crank the music box and it broke off in his hand and then he pooped on himself that's a serious blue that's a poop blue the goof the goof troop came in
Starting point is 00:09:56 to declare flight that was a a poop blue not a goof yeah they use the wrong form to classify it so if we had to go to Brazil jail here's a goof the goof is toast the knowing turns to the crank of the music box in the wrong direction oh that goofy goof what movie is this but let's I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna to try and even things out
Starting point is 00:10:22 I'm gonna call on one of you first and I'm going to switch it up each round. So in this first round, Elliot, do you have a guess for what this goof is for? It sounds really familiar and I'm sure that I will be like, oh right when I hear it. But all I can think of is Toad the Wet Sprocket. And that makes me think about the original Money Python bit that the name told the wet sprocket came from featuring ambidextrous wrecks. And that's not it. It can't be it's because there's no music box in that bit. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Is it freak the mighty? Well, we'll find out soon enough. Stuart, what is your guess for this? Well, you mentioned a monkey. Wait, you mentioned a, you mentioned a music box. So I got ahead of myself. So is it monkey shines? The movie with a monkey with a, wait, that doesn't have a music box. It just plays like a little drum. I fucked it up. I mean, monkey shine. I don't think he does play a little drum. Does he?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Does he play music box? Do I get it right? Yeah, I think so. Right? Is it monkey shines experimenter? All right, there is a monkey that plays the symbols on the cover of the VHS for monkey shine. Yeah, I don't know if it's in the movie. I don't know if it's in the movie, but there is that. That is a clockwork monkey. It is not the actual killer.
Starting point is 00:11:41 I mean, we all remember a clockwork monkey Stanley coo Stanley coo bricks adaptation of Anthony Burgess his novel. Yeah. I think you might be thinking of there was an old TV movie about an evil wind up symbol monkey and that was later repurposed as the second half of Merlin's shop of mystical wonders, which is a mystery science theater episode. So, Dan.
Starting point is 00:12:00 That was what I was thinking of. Yeah. So I'm going to say last year at Mary and Bad. The correct answer to this is, of course, Fury Road, Mad Max Fury Road. Right. That goofster toast to the Nellin. Which character was toast to the Nellin? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:17 So let's look at the scores. We've got zero to zero moving on. I feel like I should have known that one because I love that movie, but on the other hand, a lot of those characters, their names are not set in the movie. So it's kind of have to know, you have to kind of to read some of the back matter, you know. Wait for the end credits where everyone gets their name.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah. Okay, blue, goof the second. When we see Jack in his final state of undead in the porn otheater he uses a lot of words uh... that are formed the lips such as shmuck however jack is virtually skeletal and has no lips to form the words that is
Starting point is 00:12:59 a hell of a good guy so i think i believe i know this one but if steward wants to go i'm not sure hell of a goof guys. Yeah, so Dan, I believe I know this one, but if Stewart wants to go. I'm going to jump in there. I think we're talking about a Jack that's almost a skeleton. This is obviously Nightmare Before Christmas, baby. Yeah, you remember seeing the scene where he goes to a porno theater, yep. Yeah, right. Yeah, in any way.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And then he boogies like, you better clean that up, dude. And I'm like, what? Yeah, I think it's, I believe you don't have to know that in American Wearwolf in London, Daniel. Yes, I think it's I believe you don't matter an American werewolf in London Daniel Yes, I am yeah, that is I think the fact that I love that the goof is not a corpse is talking a skeleton is talking Which is not a thing skeletons to do it is that the skeleton can't form those particular phonemes With without lips So you know, I'm sorry Stuart, you sacrificed your vote to comedy.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So Elliott. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't love the joke. I didn't have any of that. Turns out I like people knowing that I know things more than people laughing at my jokes, especially after I missed that fury road one. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:03 No one's wondering though about the, no one would know about the, the nightmare before Christmas stop motion porn parody that never got made but probably should have been made. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay, so, uh, goof the third. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Helen believes she's alone on the plane. Yet she changes into her uniform in the undoubtedly cramped laboratory. Why wouldn't she just change in the cabin? What a goof! Elliot. Helen believes she's alone on the plane as she changes into her uniform in the undoubtedly cramped laboratory. Why not the cabin? I mean, if it's the movie that I think it is, then that's Helen Hunt doing the plane sequence in Hunt stunts. The directs to video sold only through late night cable commercials video where Helen Hunt pulls off the trickiest, the ickyest, and craziest stunts this side of Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:15:01 And in that one, she was pretending to be a flight attendant and that she changes into the uniform. And she has to, and she like lands the plane basically on the top of a construction site crane. And then the whole thing explodes. And she has to tumble out down the side of the crane to get out. And then she's like, next time I'm taking the train, is it that one? Is it Hunt stunts? Well, we'll find out. Well, I already took hunt stunts, so I can't say that one. Now, you could say the other, the hunt stunts too, which was Linda Hunt, doing a series of stunts.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I mean, that's crazy that they say that for the sequel, but I guess you got to go bigger, right? Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I mean, obviously we're talking about a plane here in the only movie I can think of that has a plane in it. I think this is a fact is Con air starting Nicholas Cage. Is it Con air starting Nicholas Cage? Well, I'm afraid that neither if you got this one the answer is the Incredibles. Oh, I assume that Anthony Lane contributed this goof. He's like, why doesn't Helen change out in front of all of us?
Starting point is 00:16:06 I think the audience would like to see that. Is that that dude who like checked off about this incredible and a fucking review in the newspaper? Yeah, the New Yorker review. Wow, he was totally horny for Helen Par, which look understandable but maybe not in your review of this children's movie. To be fair was that like the most horny on main you can be it's a dude in the newspaper i think i'm going to in defense of anthony lane one it's not like children were
Starting point is 00:16:35 going to read the review in the new yorker of incredible two you might as well and you might as well you might as well talk about uh... your your infatuation with large bottoms and to if you're familiar with anthony lane he is so it is so hard for him to stay on topic about any movie that he is writing about he's like uh... avengers infinity war whatever happened to his girlfriend a let me talk about that
Starting point is 00:17:00 and it's like dude i love his girlfriend a two but like they're not you not every movie is an excuse to talk about how much you love Roslyn Russell so that that guy does not care for movies I don't he doesn't seem to like movies as opposed to the other New Yorker film critic Richard Brody who nearly likes movies that everybody else doesn't like no like arm and white he's a little bit like arm it's not quite as intense that way as arm and white a little bit that Richard Brody his his person who say it seems to be making sure everyone knows that ishtar is a work of pure genius and a hilarious movie to boot and that and that the Star Wars movies are so I think we I think we Disproved that right when we watch it for this podcast scientifically
Starting point is 00:17:36 mystifying take as far as I'm concerned but God love you if you enjoyed it, you know have fun if you let a lane mate is Undoubtedly incredibly talented and a skilled filmmaker in other films, you know, have fun. If you let it, Elaine May is undoubtedly incredibly talented and a skilled filmmaker in other films, so, you know, not fair what happened to her as a result of Ishtar, but at the same time Ishtar is not very good. I'm sorry, Richard Brody, but I had to say it. An Anthony Lane, hey, just keep on flying that freak flag. Maybe someday you'll get to bury it
Starting point is 00:18:01 and miss his incredible. So speaking of, Jesus Christ. Speaking of, it's okay is incredible. So speaking of Jesus speaking of it's okay Dan, kids don't listen to this it's okay. Yeah is it? I hope not. Okay, speaking of Anthony Lane here's another one. So make fun of me and I'm very intimidated by kids. So here's goof number four.
Starting point is 00:18:22 When Ava has to put on clothes slash skin, her breasts become notably smaller. So someone needed to let us know about this goof. The carburetor believes that putting on clothes slash skin makes one's breasts smaller, unnamed film, what a goof. Okay. So I guess who did I go to first last time? makes one's breasts smaller, unnamed film, what a goof. Okay, so I guess who did I go to first last time? I can't even remember. You went to an early first.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I think I went early first. Okay, so Stuart, do you have any idea about what film? Trying to think about putting on closed-slash skin. It seems to be the giveaway in. I don't know. Feels like a lay-up. I don't want to biff this one, because like he biffin' them. Man, I'm kind of stumped.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I mean, it's not Hellraiser 2. It's not Hellraiser 1. But it's like something you would see in a Hellraiser. He does need to collect skin see in a hell racer. He does need to collect skin in that first hell racer. Uh huh. Cause he's in hell hell for his big skin ball. Now Stu, I think you would want to bif this one. That's where you, you get the answers in the goof almanac and you go back in time. And now you can make bets on the goofs and you'll, and you're running the world pretty soon. Yeah. It was was it was written by accredited journalist Ann McCoy. There was a there was a noted sports fan. Something that that was starting to
Starting point is 00:19:51 get to me was I don't know if you guys are seeing as many comparisons between Trump and Biff in back the future too where they're like this is Biff world and it was like and they're like how precious and it's like it's only because Trump is every villain that's ever been in every like he embodies all the characteristics of every villain from every movie so like of course it's like it's only because Trump is every villain that's ever been in every movie like he embodies all the characteristics of every villain from every movie So like of course, it's it's reminiscent of those things, but anyway Not to not to insult any of the fascist listeners that we have we appreciate your So Dan Ava when she puts on clothes her boobs get smaller Stewart. It's not a a hell-raising movie, I guess. So what are you gonna guess? Yeah, I don't know now.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Wally, that's the name of that robot. Her name's Ava, right? Yeah, Ava, yeah. And Dan, I'm gonna guess it's Honey-A-Rubb and Skin-On. I'm gonna guess it's Honey-A-Rubb and Skin-On. I sure like the boobs. Yeah, no. Does she drape skin on her robot shell,
Starting point is 00:20:43 like a Necrotic Flayed one from the Warhammer 40,000 universe? No, this the second and Final of the the horny goofs I would call them because that is X Machina X Machina right So this is I will call this half time Okay, so this is I will call this half time We we have to do a An advertisement, but Elliott is currently ahead
Starting point is 00:21:19 1 to 0 not by much because it's not my day and you know what's to I think you can take it Sunday You know, yep, I mean technically reporting this on a Tuesday, but yeah sure sure I'm judge John Hodgman and I'm bailiff Jesse Ford 10 years ago I came on Jordan Jesse go and judged my first dispute is chilly a suit. It's a stew obviously The judge has dispensed a decade of justice He's the one person wise enough to answer the really important questions. Like should you hire a mime to perform at your own funeral. After they cry, I want them to laugh. Do you really need a tank full of jellyfish in your den?
Starting point is 00:21:54 It's like living creatures decaying. Only if they are decaying. Yeah, which they will be. Real people, real justice, real comedy. Winner of the Webby Award for Best Comedy Podcast. The Judge John Hodgman podcast every Wednesday on MaximumFun.org. Hey, it's Jesse. What you're about to hear is real.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Hey, this is Chris. Hi, Chris. It's Jesse calling for Maximum Fun. Hey, Jesse. I heard that you got into a car accident. Hey, this is Chris. Hi, Chris. It's Jesse calling for maximum fun. Hey, Jesse. I heard that you got into a car accident. Yeah, we're putting this out podcasting yourself, and I just laughed so hard that I slammed into a construction bear.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You remember what it was? That was so funny. I will never forget. I'm sure. They started talking about Vegas and the, you that happens here it stays here and that slogan and Graham was talking about oh you know wasn't there some other slogan for another commercial I was like a commercial for food and it said like whatever's in there stays in there I can't remember what it was clams or something
Starting point is 00:23:01 Clown? Just so ridiculous and and, man, I got lightheaded. I was laughing so hard. The next thing I know, they are just really only funny. So, I talked to Dave and Graham from Stop Podcasting Yourself. We would like to pay your car repair bill. Is that okay?
Starting point is 00:23:23 That would be super nice, Jesse. I really thank you. I appreciate that. So the flow. Wait, do we have any goofs from any given Sunday? Because I feel like Stuart should be disqualified from answering this. The goof of it is like, this does not take place
Starting point is 00:23:41 on any given Sunday. This takes place over the course of several specifics on day. In real recently rewatched any given Sunday. This takes place over the course of several specifics on the way. And we have recently rewatched any given Sunday for one, I think the sports teams have the craziest names out of any movie I've ever seen. And also, I think when it comes to pop songs that I wish existed in the real world, the Willie Beaman song is tied with Scotty doesn't know from Euro trip as my favorite pops up. I would say the goof for any given Sunday is a football team
Starting point is 00:24:13 cannot win on any given Sunday merely on those Sundays for which football games are scheduled and what is the advertisement? Oh God, I hate it. I hate it, but you're right. You know, got to respect it when you're right. Well, the flop house is sponsored in part by Express VPN.

Starting point is 00:25:53 Australian. This is the Fresh Prince we all grew up with, starring one William Smith. And it just may not be available in Netflix in the US due to rights issues, but you can get it on Netflix, Australia. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. I'm gonna tell you a little hard story
Starting point is 00:26:11 that might terrify our listeners. Okay. Years ago, I was in a little country called England, the United Kingdom. I was in the city of London. I was doing the dishes. And I looked up Netflix on my iPad, or maybe it was my laptop even, because I backed and I think I didn't have an iPad. What was available on Netflix?
Starting point is 00:26:27 But the movie Miracle Mile, I've heard so much about that movie. For years I've always wanted to see it. I started watching it, didn't get to finish it before the trip was over. No worries. I said when I get home I will finish watching the movie on Netflix at home.

Starting point is 00:27:49 Insurmountable. I certainly can't get worse, right? I can't lose points, right? I don't know. Dan's the crazy games master who has his own mixed up, Alson Wonderland rules. A real arcade fellow. I'm going to open this one to you first, because you're behind.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah. Here's a goof. Oh, man, a caption. I love, I love, wait, wait, I liked Dan ahead of time, salivating over it, just like, it just like savoring this goof. Love a good goof. A caption reads Thursday. And then shortly afterwards, we see Wendy and Danny watching the roadrunner show
Starting point is 00:28:38 with its distinctive theme song in the late 70s that show played only on Saturday mornings Oof, what a goof. Stewart, what movie? Wendy and Danny in the 70s. It's got to be for his gump baby I see Stewart's game and I appreciate it. I appreciate that he realizes that the competition is less important than the fun Yeah, right Okay, Ali what do you got? friends we make all the way. Yeah right. So that your answer story. Yeah. Okay. Allie, what do you got? Show me Zodiac. Oh, okay, well, similarly fun movies. Allie were we're both throwing the competition.
Starting point is 00:29:21 The answer. Both examples of directors working at the top of their game. The answer is the shining. Oh, right. That's that movie about how they fake the moon landing. Okay, we got two more goofs, guys. Two more, these are the primo ones. Oh man. Yeah, we've been edging this whole time. We've been edging this whole time. With, when Nick is playing the board game, Game of Life with Margot, he lands on the marriage block
Starting point is 00:29:58 and adds the wife peg to his car. He then hands off to Margo for her turn, neglecting that in the rules for the game, one makes another honeymoon spin immediately after getting married. You guys can you believe that this goof made it so stupid. How did that get into the final cut? I was somewhat fired for that. I don't really, I don't. Guys, I was watching my wife and I started re-watching the sopranos. And in the first episode, there's this great scene where Anthony Jr. is playing Mario Kart.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And Tony comes in and sits down next to him and starts playing Mario Kart with one hand. And I'm like, dude, you can't do that. What the fuck? Well, what you can't do that. What the fuck? Well, what you can't see is his character is just slamming into a wall over and over again. Now, if I may before we reveal our answers, I will say the game of life and I have a tumultuous history.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I loved it as a kid and it was recently a favorite of my older son and we had to ban it in the house Because it was giving him too strong an idea that the point of life is money and that you should be able to like Trade in family members for money. It was yeah He was he was getting a little too money focused. So we had to take the game of life out of his hands Yeah Sounds like that's that's that's like short hand for for murdering someone. Yeah, they were just cold game of life out of your hands.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Allie, you were up first for this one. Do you need any refreshers? You understand? Nick and Margot is really teaching me that I do not remember the names of characters from movies as well as I thought I did. So they're playing the game of life. So it's not a period picture. It's not like Pride and Prejudice, you know, or sense and sensibility or Emma or North Hangar Abbey. But I know it's a Jane Austen movie. So clueless. Okay. And Stuart, what do you have to say? Is it this is an actual guess most you know guys I've been fucking a lot tonight you know yeah I haven't really been playing the game
Starting point is 00:32:09 I've been kind of stutton on y'all but I'm gonna actually guess is it the Royal Tenon Bounds oh there is a Margot and that but Dan can I can I change my I was for a fucking chance I All right, I removed all the irony You know I Stakes to and I was your mistake That was your mistake
Starting point is 00:32:32 I'll give I'll give you I'll give you a chance Elliott what what do you have one more guess show me zodiac No This is This is from the movie Gone Girl written by her friend Gillian flant sorry Gillian you're done goofed You goofed it look up the rules like Gillian we're like goofy in Oh man and pound embarrassing I'm sorry to call I'm sorry to call you out publicly like this
Starting point is 00:33:06 But man, this is like the scene in the Philadelphia story when when Katherine Hepburn declares she's won a game of connecting four Connect four after only connecting three Alright, so Stewart I'm afraid you cannot win at this point. You can only tie. That's fine Stewart I'm afraid you cannot win at this point. You can only tie. That's fine But although I think you're giving me too much credit Well, it's possible that the last one is a joke one that is easy to get so I'm gonna open this one. I can open. I'm gonna open this one up for Stewart
Starting point is 00:33:44 first and Then if you get set, you know what, we're just ending in a time everyone wins the joy friendship. So pull your jets, Elliot. I know you're getting all excited in your chair over there. I'm getting ready to yell Show Me Zodiac again. Dan, so you're saying if we don't tie, we don't get friendship. Like that's the end of our friendship and I can never talk to Stuart again.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I'm just saying the moral, the moral of it. It's the stakes, they're high, but I like it. Yeah. All right. So I think I'm developing a gambling addiction because of this episode. Somehow Dan walks away owning the bar tomorrow. He's like, that wasn't even playing.
Starting point is 00:34:18 And like three of my fingers. Everyone's Jones and for goofs. Yeah, the next, the next game, Dan wants to play is lighting his lighter with one hand. Yeah. Oh, what a great story that is. Okay. Here we go. Last question. Here's the Goof. Wait, wait, wait, I want you that to be your new catchphrase or someone to make a soundboard. because the way you said it just now So full of like bravado and gruff confidence. Oh, here's the goof Dan's love language
Starting point is 00:34:55 Father he's like dad. I found a new goof for you. And he's like, oh, baby Fucking flip takes out of the panel. Yeah, it's it's it's it's celebrating their anniversary. And he's like, he's like, show me the goof. All right, well, here's here's a good. I got you a box of brand new goofs. I mean spring goofs. So you just put it out and cut out a paper. It's like, I'm sorry guys, I'm in a bad mood.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I lost an eBay auction for a vintage goof I've been looking at my own this one for a while Bitting got real high zip up till 3 30 in the morning trying to snipe this goof Okay, here we go. Here we go. All right last one Obviously a driver's head instructor would never allow or order a student driver to give someone the bird. Okay, so I just watched this the other day so I know it. It's so obvious. It's Disney's onward or Pixar's onward. You know, do you know what, do you know what, do you know what it's? What summer school?
Starting point is 00:36:07 Okay, Ali, do you have it? I can see the scene and I'm having trouble remembering exactly. It's a wait. Well, like police academy, what are we talking about? Obviously, a driver's aid instructor would never allow or order a student driver to give someone the bird. Dan, it's just not coming to me so I gotta say it. I apologize. Show me Zodiac.
Starting point is 00:36:33 It's the naked gun from the files of policing mod. Oh, that's right. That's right. That literal goof was. I mean, they're like, they're writing that goof. They didn't consider the fact that it was too goofy. In real life, gripping the penis of a statue, Carvage the side of a building would not give it pleasure and change it's face to a smile.
Starting point is 00:36:56 In real life, a marble penis would not bend in that way. In real life, applying a sanding machine to the birthmark on the buttock of a famous, what is the scientist I remember, would create a best mild abrasion and it works to serious injury, not no effect as it has in this. So in real life, in real life, in real life a detective with Frank Trevins record would have been fired from the police force years ago. That was essentially one of the last ones. It was like, obviously, this movie is a satire of crazy, like overconfident cops.
Starting point is 00:37:39 But in real life, someone would have known that Nordberg was undercover. And it's like okay great you understand that it's a comedy but you somehow can't take the next step. In real life I had tole Comaini would not have had a Mohawk under his turban. But you're right I totally should have known that it was naked gun. I couldn't remember which of the like which of the like Zucker type movies it was. You know what? Alley it doesn doesn't matter. You still wanted a blow out of 1 to 0. So yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm toast.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So I guess we're not friends anymore, Elliot. Do you have any? I mean, to be honest, if I had known those were the rules of the game before I started playing, I might not have played. But the game is the game, you know, and you got it. I can't hate the player. Why would I? He was my friend until a minute ago when he lost. It's all about the journey, the in-game experience as opposed to the end results,
Starting point is 00:38:34 like it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I guess this is a real game or gate situation in that we were the gamers. Now, there's a gate between us and we can no longer hang out again. Yeah. And every time every time I see graffiti hastily scrolled across the walls of New York City that say show me zodiac. I'll think of you. Thank you. I appreciate that. That's I think that will be my tag for now on. I went with a I took my my family out on a trip somewhere where there would be the other day where there was a lot of graffiti on a wall and Sammy was like, why do they have that there? And like, oh, those are the tags that the graffiti people put in each person has their own tag And he goes, we don't have a tag So I was like, yeah, we have one like sure family
Starting point is 00:39:17 You got a thing about branding. Yeah Oh, well, well, I guess now it's so me zodiac. Yeah Everyone I think you got a thing about Brandon Got to think about Brandon. I've got to think about Brandon. If you're about Brandon, we need to talk about Brandon Kevin. I mean, that probably would have put him in line, you know? Yeah. The idea that the principle is like we need to talk about Kevin.
Starting point is 00:39:38 His branding is poor. He is very little. Very little market penetration, very little very rare recognition. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. Very rare. mom about how she doesn't really like him. Okay, well, I don't want people to just say, we need to talk about Kevin. I want people to say, we need to do everything
Starting point is 00:40:11 about Kevin. We need to make Kevin part of every aspect of our lives. We want to live that Kevin lifestyle. Yeah. Well, wonderful harrowing movie. What if there's a there's this is some guy who's someone's like, what Kevin did? Oh, that was terrible. He goes, yeah, but we're talking about him. Yeah. He looks at the camera and he freezes.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And you think about, you know, the modern culture and the way society has, what society's done to us as an iris is in on his eye. Uh-huh. I mean, the whole time I'm thinking that kid is made out of the soup of John C. Riley until the swim. Amazing. Soup. Give me a cup of that. Okay. Well, I think I think my enjoyment at inflicting this
Starting point is 00:41:01 on you guys is palpable. So I appreciate you playing along. Uh, thanks to all who are, uh, playing along at home, yelling at your, I'm sure a lot of people need answers before we did. Those were some hard groups for me, but I'm sure that the audience at home was like, what? What? How can I remember that Margo was in that movie? I did pump up the difficulty because last time, you know, last time was to,
Starting point is 00:41:24 sort of Tantalize you this time. Yeah and build up our confidence too much. Megas Feel like we could take on the entire world of goofs. Yeah exactly. And yet And yet our wings we flew too close to the goofs on and our goof wings have melted. We fall into the goof ocean. A bunch of goofy goobers. Well, I wouldn't go that far, but okay, someone is trying direct friendships. Thank you to everyone.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Thank you to Max Bonbefun, our network go to Max Bonbefun.org to check out other max fund podcasts. I know that Elliot has a comic book on sale now. I'm sure he would like to say a little bit about. Maniac in New York. Number one, actually, when this episode comes out, it might be a little hard to find. It's been selling really well, but it was just announced today it will be going back for a second printing, which should be available around the time of the second issue. Meaning, I have New York number one, if you can find it,
Starting point is 00:42:30 it's great. It's, Jason Takesman Hatton meets the wire. What if instead of the wire being about drugs and Baltimore, it was about a mass killer terrorizing New York. And the art is beautiful, it's by under the, and comes from aftershock Comics and it is, if you can find it, a fun read. An issue two comes out March 8th, I believe. So if you miss issue one, pick up issue two and you'll hopefully be able to catch up
Starting point is 00:42:59 with the story. And if you miss the physical copy, you can find it digitally on comicsology. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think it's just a new comicsology. I did. Yeah, it's great. I'd recommend it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 And Stuart, how's your stuff? What's going on? Well, Stuart Wellington has been recently half-vaccinated. Baby, uh-oh, I got some of that good Dolly Parton juice in my arm. That's right, Moderna vaccine. I got the first shot, second shot scheduled, because I don't know if you guys know this, but podcasters are essential workers.
Starting point is 00:43:31 And that's not why. I don't know where they get mad. I'm a bar and restaurant worker. And in New York, they made it available for us to get the vaccine. And I think it's the responsible thing to do for everyone who can get the vaccine to try and get it. So I got lucky and my wife put a bunch of work
Starting point is 00:43:53 into the vaccine portal, which is not easy. And we were able to schedule a vaccine appointment for me. So I took it. Since I'd previously had COVID, I had a kind of a rough time with it. The first day was pretty difficult. I was pretty fatigued, but I'm feeling better now, obviously, based on my performance on tonight's game. And uh, we just had the take-in. Would you say the take away from this is Stewart Wellington's stronger than ever before? That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Yeah, I mean, right before we started, I was doing squats and pushups, I'm getting pumped. I'm ready to tie like a band-day, and I run my forehead so I can battle some enemies. You can't see, well, but Stewart right now is bending a paperclip into a bow so that he can fight off some Grammilyms in the clamp building. Well, I just remember that about the lady.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Not the lady. No, not the lady. She's going to find love with Robert Picardo. She's the good girl. I don't want to stop that. No. No, I just remember that we were trying to end this. By the way, I think the lady, Grapple and Robert Picardo
Starting point is 00:45:05 and Inter space are basically the same character. I need to examine this a little bit more, but I think they're very similar. I think you have a master's thesis. I think that's the presentation for the next live show. Dan, did you have anything to promote? Do you want to tell people about your John Stewart packet that I'm sure you were writing up for his first news show?
Starting point is 00:45:23 I was texting, yeah, I was texting Ali, I'm like, why is John Stewart packet that I'm sure you were writing up for his first news show. I was text, yeah, I was texting Ali and I'm like, why is John Stewart packet? Like, I think that's trending. This is like, we both agreed. It was such like an inside baseball thing. So that'll mark when this episode came out. If you are on Twitter and you vaguely saw people talking about the John Stewart packet. When I saw it, I'm like, is that the name of the next digital underground album? No, I got another plug. I'm just here. You know, I got a new kitten. It's pretty cute.
Starting point is 00:45:53 We're all enamored of the new kitten. Yeah, yeah.
