Uh, yeah, this is a flop house mini.

So you might be familiar with the flop house, the hit podcast, the three of us all host. Where are we listening to it. You're searching in it. You watch a bad movie and then we talk about it. Well, this is what we do in the off weeks where we don't watch a bad movie. We just kind of freeform it. And I'm in charge tonight to make results. Certainly.

What's a mixed result? The quality of our minis are mixed results. When we just reform it, you know, when we're just spitballed. Well, you can reform. Dan, can I hijack the mini again to talk to a real life true story of something that happened to me today that was a real emotional roller coaster? Yeah, let's do that. We're not using tape. If it involves you, do it as much time as we want. If this involves you playing poorly at the video game, what is it? Rollercoaster Tycoon. That would be a true emotional Rollercoaster for me.

It would be with my emotions. Yeah. No, today I had a, I, I, I learned for the first time, which I had never realized before, that the We Get Letters song from the, from that Paul Schaeff would perform on the David Letterman show actually originated on the Perry Como show and I said hold on I got to see this I look up we got letters song Perry Como up comes a YouTube video and one

of the comments on the YouTube video from seven years ago says Elliott Kalen the early years and I was like what this is amazing and there's two replies to it let me see who the replies is that's why I'm like a first I learned that this song goes back decades earlier than I thought. I thought it was a Paul Schaefer original and it's not. He's just a liar who stole it. Then I go to find the

video and there's actually a reference to me in one of the comments, what's this reply going to be? Something about what a great guy I am. First first reply. Who is Elliot Kaylen? And then I came crashing right back down. Turns out I'm not the hot stuff that I was from user Daniel K. What? So anyway, that was just a little emotional roller coaster today as I as I was shocked to learn Paul Shaver didn't write that song then shocked to see my own name attached to the clip on YouTube then write it again by by seeing that I'm not famous.

Yeah. Sand kicked in your face. Digital sand. Did you sand? They call it. All is fleeting. All glory and everything else. Hey, so this certainly certainly sick transit. Gloria, Gloria. Oh, wow. You know, that also goes back to Perry Coma weird. I think, Elliot, I think it's time for the kids to rediscover you like they rediscovered Kate Bush and you are going to be the finally. They're going to be so excited. The dulcet tones of Elliot will be the one saving Max from the task of his lead mind player.

Oh, no, I mean, it's back under. I mean, he's a good God, but I don't know. I forget like, I love, I actually really like stranger things. Um, I know a lot of people, I think you and I are some pot of go on this through it, whereas like, yeah, we get it. A lot of people are tired of the 80s nostalgia, but I still enjoy that. I think it's a well done version of that. Yeah.

And, but the one thing about this latest season, and I'll do no spoilers, but the one thing about this latest season that I kind of hang up on is like, look, I can't with the Agnes Varda haircut. No, which gives that. Well, he looks like a young guy who has heard us. No, it's that I like how this season is based on such a kind of a standalone horror premise. And I don't necessarily have a particular attachment to like the show keeping previous horror premises alive, even though they have, like they've linked it all. But I don't think that the new season,

like none of that makes sense to me in like the murky mythology that the show has put together, that like after the previous seasons, there's just kind of like monsters coming out of alternate dimension that in this case, there's just like, oh, there's one dude who wants to fuck with people. I don't know. Yeah, yeah.

It's a hell of a situation, yeah. It doesn't feel like they belong to the same cosmology to me. I guess is what I'm trying to say. There. Anyway, let's move on. Now that we've, you know, fulfilled our talking to, but to do.

I'm not even gonna bother to make my tortured Kate Bush joke that I was gonna make. Okay. Why would you torture Kate Bush? She's amazing. No, that's not, oh, yeah, it's to work. Guys, I said, let's keep it short tonight. And it's seven minutes in.

And we even get to the premise that I've brought to the table for tonight. Okay. Who's fault is that driver of the show? Dan's like, I want to talk about Vecna. And I have as a demon overlord tied with the undead, he's a perfect fit for stranger things. Dan's like, okay, I'm in charge. I want to keep things on track. But first, let's talk

about TV. Hey guys, you watch the change your things, Joe. Um, I wanted to try and steer us back into the zeitgeist after your parry coma. And so, hey, uh, yes, you're the only one talking, Dan, you don't need to interrupt yourself. You got it. I mean, you know what? In the past, I've done a lot of game-based minis Have you ever and tonight is no different? Oh, wow, it's already the game to be good. I'm dreaded game master I'm sure you're gonna try to get a game master. Every, every, every mini that Dan

runs, the little bit like, we're gonna get a million dollars in our uncle's will. And then it turns out by daybreak after we've passed the contest that the true joke from me on the grave is that there was no money in the will. Yeah, yeah. Losis Boogie's made his leave the house.

So, uh, this game, all right, our podcast is the flop house. This game is called the house house. Okay, interesting. I mean, here's what I'll tell you about this game. This better be, this better be you name someone and we have to tell if they're a member of the Bauhaus architecture movement or the Bauhaus band.

Sure, or Dr. House. Well, primarily each one did just as Hugh Laurie. Yeah, that's the answer to all. There's a hundred questions. No, we're primarily, I would say, a movie podcast and there are a lot of movies with the word House in the title. So in this game, we're going to go back and forth. Each of you is going to get a first shot at alternating questions. And there'll be steals. There are still.

Oh, fuck yeah. But otherwise, pretty simple, just a quiz. I will give a sentence describing the house. And you tell me what type of house it is. Now that, that, that makes it sound like I'm literally going to describe the architecture of the house. Let me go on further. This is just a cute framing for the game. Basically, I will give it- Like a balloon frame house. I will give a clue and you tell me the name of the movie with house, the title that I'm talking

about. I will give you an example. So when you said you're going to describe a house and we have to tell you what house it is, that was just not an accurate way to describe the gameplay. You're going to describe a movie and we're going to tell you the title of that movie. Yes, except for the cute thing about it is you're like, oh, this is a blank house. Oh, I see. Or a house of blank. I get along those sorts of, so okay, if you'll just have to go to the example.

Yeah, all of your I didn't know what example was coming. Well, I did say that there was one. Okay, example, this is a clue. You walk into a house and Vic Marrow's murderer is there directing the guy who played Mozart in Amadeus. What kind of house is this? Elliot, I see you know. That's an animal house.

That is an animal house. Okay. Does it do I get a point for that or does that? No, that was an example, but you see it. I wasted it. I wasted it. Yeah, the framing is more like, you know, how jeopardy has the answers and the questions rivers and whatnot.

And so it's just, oh, that's why I didn't win. I didn't realize that. I thought, I thought it was, I thought that they were giving me the questions and I had to answer and I was so confused because there were no question marks. It's just a premise that then is basically not important because, for instance, on jeopardy, those are still questions. I feel like the reason you need that. I don't want to relitigate anything, Elliot.

But I feel like the reason you didn't win Jeopardy's, you didn't want it bad enough. I've watched enough movies about sports and stuff where Ashley, it's the only reason they're able to win is because they want it bad enough or they have the power of friendship. And I don't think you had either of those two things. No, that's true. I was all on my own and I did not want it badly enough to get a, get a, but a used buzzer set from a different game show, I think, and practice with that at home. It didn't even occur to me.

Now, Dan, here's, that's the funny thing about Jeopardy. Is a, is Merv Griffin was always like, so there was this big outrage, this scandal, when they gave the, the answers to the, to the contestants on 21. So I thought, why don't we give them the answers, but we keep the questions. But as you're right, they, it is still asking you question and you're replying with a answer. 100% of questions. Anyway, so here we go. We've got to play the househouse and Stewart, you're up, you're up first. These will, I did put them roughly in order where I assume that we'll get harder for you

as we go along. I can't necessarily move, you know, better than others, but this is kind of my, I'm pretty sure I don't know much, but I think you won the last game, Stu. Yeah, well, you know, I'm just trying to psych out because I had the fucking power of friendship, boys. And you won it. And Grace call. Yep. Okay, sure.

That reminds me, Stu, he man said, if you could return the power of Grace call, he'd really appreciate it. And friends with Orco and Ellie is kind of like a cringer type character. So yeah, I guess I'd like to keep man. If only if you mean because I turned into an armored battle cat, a gay resembling. Yes.

Yeah. Stuart, you want to do a cat? I think it is offensive. I'm so much more of a Torco than a cringer. Well, we already have an Orco in our friends circle. Yeah, I guess I'll be man at arms then. We already have a man at arms too. Like it's up in our...

Well, can I be mech and neck? I've always wanted to be tall. Okay, yeah, yeah. Manny faces. Oh my kidding. I'm a lost man. Oh man, such good smells. Dan, we're playing a game.

Not just playing a game. Yeah, we're playing a game. Not just one game. So what's the game? What's the, what's the, what's the, how do we do it? You get the first question. Let's do it. You get the first question. Okay, cool. Okay, the question is this, you walk into a house and you're immediately star struck by the world's most famous bouncer.

What kind of house is it? Oh, that's a roadhouse. That's why I just walked into the double news, baby, and that's the roadhouse. So it's a kind of place they sweep the eyeballs off the floor at the end of the night. Yeah. That would be amazing if there was a scene where Pat, where Patrons was he had to go in and just with one of those big janitor rooms is just sweeping up piles. We even have have five all. Yeah, no, no bigger gimme than to ask Stuart a question about roadhouse. But I don't know if this was, if this was what kind of freak and you were like, well, in this, this is a freak who has no ding dong. I think that's big. That's a big gimme form also. Elliott, you walk into a house and notice that all of the mermaid figurines have jizz

on them. What kind of houses? Well, that would be a lighthouse, Dan. It is. The lighthouse. That's, there's one thing we know about lighthouses that they're full of. And we're really a 40 Robert Pattinson. That's his in him.

Okay, back to Stu. You walk into a house and it's awesome. All of it's awesome except for a sort of lame Rob Zombie trailer with Nick Cage right in the middle. Okay, wait a minute. That's a grind house. That is a grind house. That is a grind house.

That's a grindy house. I like some of Rob Zombie's movies, a couple of them, but yeah, his shortcoming is his director. Are you really excited about his monster's reboot that he's finally got his hands on? Does that what? That's what he's working on or what's coming out next from him. So months, you know that movie's going to have the baddest fucking Dracula you've ever said, fucking burned. Is it twisted like Karmic McCarthy or is it still going to be funny? I think from what I've seen it seems like it's still going to be funny, but you know,

he's probably going to rob something. He's like the Kormac McCarthy of the screen. So he's really funny, but you know, you know, you know, Rob Zombie, he's like the core Mac McCarthy of the screen. So he's really funny, guys. I don't know. It's gonna be crazy. We are going to have to call our, our doctors, our GPs and have them check in on our funny bones. I mean, to be fair, there's nothing pretty funny about a guy who calls himself Rob Zombie

as a young rock and roller. And then as an old man making movies continues to call himself Rob Zombie. That's pretty good. It'd be fun to call himself or Bobby Zombie. Bobby Z. Okay, that's Robert Sedara, Elliott. That's right. Bobby Z is Robert Sedara, isn't peace, yeah.

Elliott, you walk into a house and you spend most of the time just walking around empty rooms and dancing to one thing leads to another by the fix, but somehow it's still terrifying. Oh, that would be a house of the devil, Dan. I'm scared just to think about all that walking house of the devil. It's empty. Wow. Or is it? Well, then you can see not any moment, Tom Noonan's going to come back from his date. Where is he going? That night? What if, what's the movie where he's on a date? Is it and what happened was, I think,

so what if that was the same? You're thinking of man hunter. He was on a date. Yeah, technically correct. He was on a date and. Yeah, technically correct. He was on a date. To an Alan to see a tiger. We're not actually see a tiger. I guess he's blind. Yeah, her character. He's on a date with the work of William Blake.

Yeah. Doesn't end well. Depending on your point of view, I guess. Okay, back. Let's see. Back to me. Things were heating up over here in the house. I was a little too. Okay, back, let's see. To me, things are heating up over here in the house.

Oh, the food. Yes, sorry. You walk into a house, and it's an exact reversed version of the house you used to live in with your dead husband. What? Oh, that's what the nighthouse? That is the nighthouse. Rub back a hall, baby.

New moon. That's your superyaki shirt. It just says, Rub back a hall, baby. The nighthouse where every day is opposite day. Yeah. What a flick. That's a good.

You finally see it Stu? I did, It's great. I like that one. What? I haven't seen it yet. Oh, it's great. Glad you got that question. Ali, here's a question for you. You walk into a house and you get a letter from Sandra Bullock in the future. I was worried you're going to ask about that one, because I'm not sure I remember it. Is that the house at the lake? Ooh, judges. The house on the lake. No, I'm afraid.

You know you're getting cold. The lake house? Yes, the lake house. I mean, you have to give me half for it. Half. Okay. All right. Not bad.

Honestly. Let's get a little. Yeah. One half. Okay. All right. Not bad. Honestly, this is get a little bit harder. All right. Stuart, you walk into a cartoon house and you're like, wait, this was made by Dan Harmon and Rob Rob. Yeah, that is. Monster house. Monster house. You mean the fucking movie they made instead of finishing scud the disposable sass and fuck that shit. Later on finished they later on finished scud the disposable sass and I remember in college I have a bunch told the story about when they like just didn't finish the series and I wrote them like a mean email.

And I don't remember who wrote me back, but it was the meanest fucking response. Wow. And it was like touching a high stove for me. I have never written another mean email since. This should not, yeah, those should not people I would expect a kind email back from in that situation. I had a very curious experience with Rob Shrabb, where he was the director on the second season

of Mystery Science Theatre. I was working on the show and there was a guy named Seth who was working on the show. We had two very different jobs. I was the head writer and he was kind of one of the head design guys or was the head design guy. And I guess because we both have glasses, Rob Shrav could not tell who was who and just called me Seth for the entire shoot. And it was the end. I started correcting him in the beginning and then I just stopped at a certain point. I was like, it's not, it's not my life's too short to keep going into this. Well, Elliot, maybe you can take the taste of that out of your mouth with a victory on this next question.

Probably not. You know, getting on this word. I was not on the board, Sue. You're winning, you're up on the board. You walk into a house and you're like, I think I remember us doing this house on the flop house, maybe. Is this the one where the leads ended up getting married? I think that would be Dreamhouse.

That's Dreamhouse. Wait, that's the movie that we're Danny Craig and Rachel Holtz-Mett and then they have own love, which of course, who can blame you. I'm not either side. They're both great Hey, that's that's halfway through the question. So are you sure and we know you've had some issues with counting in the best No, I was a low blow. I'm sorry You know what better time than right in the middle of everything to take a break? And that is a break to say thank you to all the members of Max Fun who support us and also

thank you to our sponsors. We have a couple this week. The first one is Trade Coffee, a company that I recently, you know, I started, I subscribed myself because I liked the coffee and I need to have coffee around the house and why not have good coffee or a change. That's like he could use a cup right now. Well, it is just kind of late here. Hey, trade coffee. Hey, listen, are you listening?

I'm gonna say don't forget about a father's day coming up. But that's all it's all slightly less than a year till the next one. Yeah, it's coming, guys. Keep it in mind. You can stockpile so much coffee at that time to give to your dad.

Speaking of speaking as a dad, it's never a bad time to get a gift. Yeah, that's the thing. It doesn't have to be for Father's Day. You can give it just because you want to or because you forgot about Father's Day. That's another option. Yeah, that's true. Or maybe you just want to make it a little easier for the dad. Next time you barge into their room at 4.30 in the morning,

demanding chocolate because you just had a dream where you wanted chocolate and your parents wouldn't give you chocolate. Certainly a piping hot cup of personalized, algorithmically derived for you coffee, would help take the edge off that particular situation. You want to be better than dream dad. Don't you, Elliot? I got you. I do because I'm worried that dream dead will lure my children away into the, into the netherworld, but sounds like he's not given them chocolate in the middle of the night either.

Don't, don't wait till the set. So does over. Don't go to the bellhouse and why.com.

Why you'll notice that on August 7th, a Don't. Go to thebellhouseny.com. Why? You'll notice that on August 7th, a certain podcast is coming to the bellhouse in Brooklyn, New York to perform live and talk about the movie Morbius. Could it be the flop house, Dan, Stu, and Elliot, my favorite audio friends coming to my town if I live in Brooklyn or the surrounding environments in close driving or train distance and talking about Morbius, the, in quotes hit movie of the summer that captivated the internet without translating into money at the box office. Yes, that's exactly what's happening. August 7th will be there at the bellhouse 730pm,

talking about Morbius. Three of us doing our first live show in over two years. It's going to be super fun. We're raring to go. I can't wait. I can't wait to see if Elliott can adapt to podcasting outside of his natural environment, his garage. Hey, he's not as grown up. I know. I'm just doing this. But you can't make a rise. Yeah. Just goofing guys. We're doing bits here. This is a fucking bithouse. Can I do a podcast when I'm not feet away from a tower of worm eaten compost? I don't know. I mean, it's a worm tower. So the compost is in trays that the worms are devouring. It's not that's not a pile of loose compost. We can bring worm compost to the bell house. Oh, that would be so great. Thank you. I'd really appreciate it. I kind of need it now.

Hello, I'm a stuffy Dowager Countess. Travis? I'm judging every party's manners. Oh no. Schwanners isn't, Judgy, it's about teaching you to be your best self and be a little more confident when you enter a social situation so you don't understand. And maybe also teach you a little bit about history didn't know or give you interesting things to talk about at parties.

Yeah, like the secret life of Emily Post. Or like why wristwatches are the way that they are. We can talk about table manners from the Victorian era. Sure, or what it's like to attend a Regency Ball. Yeah. You can find all that and more. If you live in Da Shmana's on Maximum Fun, or wherever your podcasts come from, I guess. Manor Shmana's. Get it? or wherever your podcasts come from, I guess. Man or shman or get it.

A man was walking along a beach which represented his life. At his feet were two sets of footprints, his and God's. But looking back down the beach, the man could see that in the hardest parts of his life, there was only one set of footprints. So the man said to God, why is there only one set of footprints when times were hard? Where were you? And God replied, my precious child, I was in my car listening to the Beefent Dairy Network podcast. The Beefent

Dairy Network podcast is a multi award-winning comedy podcast and you can find it at maximumfund.org or wherever you get your podcasts. Guys, I don't, I don't, you know, we don't usually do news on the show, but I just got some breaking news from the New York Times. I want to, I want to tell you guys about it. Oh, okay. It should, it should still be relevant when this is released a couple days.

Breaking news from the Times. Trumpet, a bloodhound, one best in show at the Westminster dog show. Oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. Wait, Dan, I have a follow up question here. Was Trumpet a good boy? You know what? The New York Times says that you can see photos of all the very good dogs from the competition.

So Trumpet, all of them, all dogs go to heaven. Does it explain, does it explain how Trump at winning the West, Mr. Dog show sounds like good news, but it's actually bad news that will make life harder for the Democrats? I feel like that's more of a contrarian, like, slate kind of take on things. Oh, the times does plenty of that stuff. All right. Well, let's get back to the game as you may recall. Stuart was in the lead by, by, by half a point, by a four or three and a half.

Of merely because I wanted to give the like house a more interesting title. Stuart, you're up. Okay. Here, here he goes, you walk into a melting house, and people are cheering Paris Hilton dying, even though she never did anything to any of them personally. That would be the house of wax, Remake. That is the house of wax, 2000, starring Alisha Cuthbert. I don't know why I'm laughing at that.

It's just a fact about. It's a funny name. House of wax. Yeah, well, it's got a K sound in it, even though it's spelled with a C, you know. Yeah. It's a cutthroat. That's why I should cook junior. It was also a funny named performer.

Elliott, you sir walk into a house and you're like, what's that guy doing in a fat suit? Wait, this was made by the same director who did Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Scooby-Doo. One house could this possibly be. I'm telling you, it's getting harder now. Yeah, that's much harder. Hmm, I don't know. The fat suit means- Wait, do I get to steal? Oh yeah, you can steal if you want.

I don't think I know it though. Oh, okay. I mean, you might as well, I should have guessed something. I had no idea though. Yeah, I don't know, house of dogs. No, that house of dogs. We're talking big mama's house.

Oh, I forgot about that movie that I didn't see. Okay, Stuart, let's see if you can buy this one. You walk into a house and you're like, wait, this thing made $200 million and starts Ryan Reynolds in Dinsale, Washington. Why don't I remember this house exists? Oh shit. Okay. Ryan Rounds and Denzel Washington.

This is responsible head apparently. No one recalls it. Yeah. Man. I don't know like a money house. Uh, um, man. Like, I don't know like a money house. Not money house. Ellie, do you have a steal on this one? I have two guesses.

Uh-huh. Let me ask you this. This is probably too much. Is the house in the beginning of the title or the end of the title? Wow. I don't know. I don't know.

Is that too much? Might be too much. Let's just say it is a two word title. I'll give you a totally unrelated hit. Is it safe house? It is safe house. Okay. I was, I was, I was worried for a second that I was pulling a,

I was pulling a lake house on it again. And then it was called like house a bulless or something. House of safe. Yeah. So safe. Okay. Well, that's a respectable steel well done. Hey, everyone.

So this is the point at which regular, you're going to stop hearing regular game play. Alex, you should put maybe you put in like a horn or something before I said, hey, everyone, because cool. Let's talk, let's give more notes during this part of the show. Yeah, sure. Maybe, maybe like a record scratch challenge. Yeah, or something that, you know, yeah, like a lightsaber igniting. I mean, by this point, the funny thing is the audience will have already heard the sound effect. So, we got to explain the sound effect because they're getting mad right now. So, what happened was we recorded the rest of this. It was hilarious, but it turns out that Elliot's memory card was full. I made a rookie mistake. It was after years of doing this and did not check ahead of time how much space was on

my memory card. I thought I had a lot more time than I did. And so I apologize to Dan and to Stu. And I apologize to you, the audience, because you missed out on, well, all I remember is a bit about Parker pose the owning a poster shop of some kind. But all the funny bits, like it was like there were three rob zombies in the room just cutting it up, you know, chopping it up with them jokes. He's such a natural funny man, you know, but we're going to, here's what we're going to

do. We're going to, like we're not going to try and recreate exactly what happened, uh, in terms of like, you know, but you put work into these questions. So we should at least acknowledge these questions. We're gonna give the play by play, yeah. We're gonna go back and do the play by play. We're gonna do it as if this didn't happen, but without the pretending that it didn't happen. And we did.

Maybe it was just recounting the event. Yeah, we did. Yeah, I had just totally bifft it on the safe house question. I feel like a real fool, but you know what? I mean, if 10 people tweeted me that they saw the movie safe house and recall elements of its plot, I will be very impressed. Just tweet at D-A-N-K-M-C-C-O-Y on Twitter and just, just tweet at that address and tell them that you've seen Safe House and you're familiar with it. I think it's taking Dan a moment to realize you spelled out his name. Yeah, no, I just want to get back to it, Honestly, I was letting the bit happen because then we

would speed back to the questions, which was, Daniel, Dan was going limp in this case. He was, he was, Dan was allowing you to pull him out of the building so that he, as a show of civil disobedience. So, Elliot, your question, we all remember was this. And I said, you walk into a house where an Iranian actress is winning a Best Supporting Actress Award, even though again, it's a house you barely remember. Oh, yes. And I had said that would be a house of sand and fog. And that's right, we did have to fill in the listeners.

We did have a discussion about whether or not the Academy Awards should be based on a 10-year delay system where you pick a movie and then they wait 10 years and if people still remember it, then it still gets that Academy Award. Yeah, I think that's just, you know, like we talk about how many bad picks are made, you know, just, you know, let's think on it for a decade. Yeah, what a culture. Yeah, let it marinate. I'm calling it the Academy Awards sleep on it for a decade, Lance. Yeah. Hey, no reason to make a quick decision. Let's sleep on it for a decade. By that time everybody wanted to watch that fucking thing, you know, yeah. You think that's the, that's the biggest advantage.

It's that Academy members will actually watch the screeners name the mic. Yeah. All right. Okay. As someone, as someone with a stack of writers, guild award screeners that I, I'll probably get to someday, yeah, I'll watch that James Brown movie someday. I'll hold on to that screener. Sure. Then years pass, it becomes a coaster. And then I don't even know what happens to it. It disappears somewhere

into the house. The screener, the screener, the noems take it. That's the beautiful metamorphosis. The screener goes through from lowly DVD to beautiful coaster. That's, that's nature. Okay. Steward. Yep. Your next question, if you'll call, was perhaps my lazyest question of the evening, which is, you walk into the house that Toby Hooper made after eating alive. And you said, fun, fun house, of course. That's, that's, of course, we all recently, it recently got out like a re-release? And I don't know about that, but you're probably right. It had like a, yeah, I think you're right that they did like a remaster of it. It's a beautiful looking movie.

Little slow, but good. I mean, Dan, you also could, I mean, it would have been a totally different story if you had asked, okay, you walk into a house and it's a madness song about buying a condom for the first time. That would be House of Fun, which is the opposite of Fun House or reversed. Um, Elliot, it's funny you say that because you also have a question. You remember it went like this. You walk into a house and you're like, this house is going to make Parker, Parker pose you the new it girl.

Now I was, I was confused by this. I was confused by this. Cause you thought you rightfully reminded me that a party girl was kind of, that was kind of her, her breakout role. Yeah. Yeah, but I did mention a hat, a distinctive hat. Dan gave me a somewhat unfair clue saying that that oh, and she's wearing a hat. And that's when I knew it was House of Yes.

Yes. Because of the poster. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She looks like Jack. And that's when we went on our flight of fancy about Parker poses poster. Deep.

Hanorama. I don't know. I suggested that Dan had tailored this question for Elliot because he had already bought Elliot an autographed poster of House of Yes as a birthday gift for an upcoming birthday. And Elliot's like, of course I would accept anything autographed by Parker Posey and I'm like, even a copy of Darwin Cook's Gravick novel Parker and he's like, of course not. I don't like that at all. I'm like, that's not. I don't like that at all.

I'm like, that's wild. It's great. And she's the perfect person to put an autograph on it. I mean, a lot of this conversation, I don't remember, but there's no recording of it. Thanks for my own foolishness. So I have to assume it was exactly as you reported. You know, it's funny. I was going to make a joke about how this second, this last part of the episode is trading on,

how much everyone loves hearing jokes they weren't therefore explained to them, but then Stu saved it by swirving into new fantastical. But very boring. Speaking of Stuart, Stuart was up next. Oh yeah. Speaking of one third Stewart was up next. Oh, yeah. Speaking of one third of the vlog house, one half of the men I'm talking to at this moment,

you walk into a house. I love it. Keep the fractions coming. I love it. We're in a math house, not a math house. A math house. Stewart, you walk into a house and you're like, Kirstie Alley and John Lair, Kat, this is going to be hilarious,

but spoiler alert, it is not hilarious. And Stewart just like he had to run this long. It's a madhouse. Yeah, he jumped right on it. He knew it. Yeah, I knew John right. Like he would be grenade and he was kept in America. Elliot, the final, we all remember this.

Oh, what a, I mean, it does that. It's just, there's weren't there to experience it, you know, as it was happening again, my fault, it was my mistake and I apologize to listener that they didn't get to experience an I R T that's in real time, this, this magical miracle on ice. Yeah, I also wanted to share the listener, by the way, we normally have, you know, checks in balance, and that checks in balance is not what I'm looking at. Like what would fail safe? We have a fail safe. We, you know, we have a backup. We, but we move to a different zoom recently and forget that it's on a record. So there was a double failure here, but don't

worry that this is going to be a problem. Both failures on my part. Yes. But still, I'll remind everyone that I routinely get woken up at 4 30 in the morning by a three year old demanding chocolate at the top of his lungs. So because of a dream because of a dream he had. So my, my, he's constantly having, he, he has, I mean, as many young kids do, he has, it seems night terrors and he yells in his sleep and he yells things like, no, I don't want to stop. And then I'll wait him in the next morning. I'll be like, what was your dream about last night?

And he's like, I didn't want to have to take a bath. And you told me I had to take a bath. Like that's the kind of dream that he has. So. Elias. Okay. Well, we were recall his what I'm saying. What happened was I said that you walk into a house and you're like, is that a young Helen Hunt? No, wait, that's the actress

that looks like her younger clone. It doesn't matter. This was released three days after September 11th. So no one will care. And you pulled it out of the last second for a half a win, a game to steal this shit. You remember that that movie is called what, Elliot? That's right. It was Glasshouse starring Lili Sobieski, AKA little Helen Hunt. Mm hmm. And she's backed up by who's that Udo Kier? Stellen Skars guard. Ellen Skars guard. All right, that's the guy. That guys, have you ever felt like your scars are not adequately protected?

I did. And that's why I talked, that's why I picked up Stellen Skars guards, scars guards. Now, they're the only guards for scars. Wherever you have a scar, just place one of the scar guards on it and Stellen guarantees your scar will be guarded. That's right. Stelen scars guards, scar guards are available, well mainly through on the dark web. So if you need, if you want to know, they don't have them in child size from Alexander scar,

scar scars, scarred. Full grown adult children, though. I don't know. You can play a pretty wide range age. Do you guys ever feel like there aren't enough angry horses in your tropical storms? That's why I got Peter Storm Mayor's, Storm Mayor's, the only source for horses in tropical storms that I trust. I was like, where's he going with this? Hey guys, here's the situation we've all had. We told our friends about the hot date we were having

and then we failed to make it even to first face. The next morning, we don't want them to know that we didn't get anywhere with our date of choice. That's why I get the late William Hickey's Hickeys. That's right, artificial Hickeys handcrafted by the late William Hickey. You just applied him to the neck. Not quite as, not quite as only think of a one name for one rename. All right. Well, you know what? It's late, so let's sign off. You should go to.

Hey guys, have you ever read that you don't have enough burrs? Maybe you need a full ton of burrs. That's why Tim Burton's burr time is the product for you. It's a full ton of burrs. Yeah. Now, are those Raymond Bur birds or just, you know, the plant? That's a very good question. A lot of people only have, let's say, 50 or 60 pounds of Raymond birds, but if you need a ton of Raymond birds, yeah, sure. You know,

and you can fill out of me. Fill as many Godzilla movies as you want. You just pour out the burrs. Anyway, the point is, this is the flop-ass. It's a podcast that I wouldn't say is normally more professional than this, but it certainly usually has fewer technical difficulties. But we probably have a- If your definition of professional is that they check their equipment ahead of time, then it's usually more professional than this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
