Good evening. It's Tuesday, October 25, 11.19 PM, and you are listening to the Peach Pit after dark. The one podcast covering the Peach Pit, a Flop House review podcast. Tonight's episode will focus on Flop House Mini Mini 63, the Peach Pit. So it's recommended that you listen to that first. Before we get started, let me introduce our guests. Right out of the gate, we have the man with the plan and the plan ain't pretty. Dan McCoy. Hey, Dan McCoy, thanks for joining us. Hi. This is how you do it on the Peach Pit? You tell the actual date and time that we record the show?

Is that a thing that this is how we do it on the Peach Pit after dark. Start interrupting Dan, you are the guests in this house. I just want to make sure that the listeners weren't confused and thought that they were listening to the Peach Pit. This is the Peach Pit after dark. You know, that is confusing. Thank you for clarifying. No problem. And we have we have some more guests. The next one. Of course, it's the motor mouthed maniac of New York himself, Elliott Kalin, Elliott. Thanks for coming. Thank you so much for having me. So I've always wanted to be on the peach pit after dark.

My favorite after show, after show podcast. Thank you. Yes. You said we have no doubt how quickly I grasped the concept as opposed to Dan, who stumbled his way through it. No, I grasped the concept. I used to say. Dan, stay beautiful, stay beautiful. I realize that this was a whole separate line rather than a special within the, the

peach pit. Also, we have more guests. So beyond, thank you. Thank you so much for setting this up, Dan. Yes, that's right. Let me introduce our last guest for this episode. That's the information broker to the movie jokers. That's right.

Spaghetti Jones is here, everybody. What? Oh, yeah. Thanks for having me here, everybody. It's great to come back to one of my favorite podcasts. I actually like this one more than the beach bit and more than the flop house. Well, I think you're so much for joining us. I'm sorry, Mr. Jones.

I really apologize. Well, thanks think you're so much for joining us. Yeah, I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. I really apologize. Well, thanks for nothing, Dan. I thought this was the character that Stuart was introducing for the first time, but now I recall that of course he's the blubbid. Oh, was he'm correct, right? Yeah, sometimes, but that's, you know, I don't like to advertise that. Yeah. That's one of my own resume. Certainly. It's not on your cover letter.

But you do advertise that you are an informant, which means that people, you know, we get mad at you. About movies, though, right? It's not like you're performing a group of publicists. Yeah. Yeah. I guess that's a kind of lest dramatic way to describe what I do and let's not forget the shoe shining.

Mm-hmm. Now, I hope this is a rough approximation of my voice. I got to admit I'm not fully sure exactly how I talked before. No. I remember there was a certain amount of mispronunciation, but I don't really remember exactly too many of the other details about my own voice, which is strange. I must have gotten knocked on the head of the cocoa nut. Well, that's a nice.

It's quite possible. Well, despite that injury, I'm glad that you made it here, spaghetti Jones. Now, let's just jump right into it, guys. My first question for the three of you, mainly Dan Nellie at here, is when I steward Wellington, host of the flop house, host the beach bit, host of the beach bit after dark, when I came to you with the premise for the beach bit as a flop house mini, what was your initial reaction? I mean, I think I think I, you know, did what I normally do, which is sort of project my attitudes about a project onto others. And I thought to myself, that sounds complex. I wouldn't like to do it. So Stuart probably won't actually do this idea.

Oh, okay. That's, I mean, that makes sense. Elliot, do you have any feedback here? I don't actually remember being presented with the idea beforehand, but I thought, you know what, Stuart, he's taken me on a lot of joy rides. Metaphorically, I've been blindfolded in the back of his late model van many times, and he's always brought me to a great destination rather than a basement. And so I was like, okay, let's let him loose. Let's take him where we're going to go. And I don't think I was disappointed, okay, let's let him loose. Let's take him where we're gonna go. And I don't think I was disappointed.

Was I spaghetti? No, you loved it. And to be fair, I've been in some great basements too in my time. So I fall asleep in college. I saw a lot of shows in basements and I played ping pong in a basement or two. Now, just,

I think I'm, you know what I'm bringing it to at my new frame of reference as a California resident resident in Los Angeles, there's very few houses with basements because of earthquake danger. So here, taking some to a basement is slang for. I'm going to bury you in the foundation. No, I catch your drift. I just didn't want to, you know, be there. There's some great basements out there.

You're right. There might be some basements listening. We don't want to offend our basement listeners. And how often do you, how often do you come across that slaying, Elliott, in your daily life? Oh, in LA almost daily. Uh-huh. Anytime you're trying to park or I don't know what, go to, yeah, anytime I'm trying to park

or, yeah. Time you're trying to park or, yeah. You start to threaten people. Hey, hey, get off of my aerial. I'm going to take you to my basement. Yeah. Yeah. Every time I try to park or I, uh hey, get off of my aerial. I'm going to take you to my basement. Yeah. Yeah. Every time I try to park or I, uh, hit up in the hospital.

Oh, wow, that's too bad. Is it the hospital located in district B 13? Yeah. I think it's because you love to entertain the sick children there. You hop over the roofs and through fences to get there and entertain them. I have a mistaken belief that the best medicine is fancy walking. So, not just a casual walk in which is Christopher walk in. Yeah.

They're not fancy walking his billionaire brother. And where is the tuxedo and often at fancy gallons? Or the country version walking in Memphis. So just to clarify, this is your first time tuning into the Peach Bit after dark. This is a podcast where we talk about and review an episode of the podcast, the Peach Bit, which is a podcast that reviews an episode of the Flawpiles podcast. Okay. Okay. Following. Yeah. Okay. So what episode of the

Peach Bit are we reviewing? Okay. So what episode of the peach pit are we reviewing? We are reviewing the episode of the peach pit that reviews the episode of the flop house covering Amity Villains space. That can be found in the feed of the flop house. Flop has many number 63. So this is the middle of this is the middle of pit over the month when the peach pit talked about shot tober episodes. The, the, the month we talk about the movies of the, of pit off. That was when Ronnie Chang was on the show talking about catwoman. That's actually true. Yeah, that's correct. So one of the big, one of the big things talked about in this episode of the peach pit, of course, was the celebration, the celebrate, the anniversary,

15 years, guys. And let's, let's take us back there. No. The screen is being shared. For those at home, Stuart is sharing his screen. The image hasn't come up for me yet. I've got it.. Stuart Willington has started squeezing the episode. Plotpower for many 63 the peach pit. I was weird that this entirely different show is in the feed for our show. But it was it's the it's the podcast equivalent of when that that that Max headroom guy hacked into that local television feed and just said a lot of weird things and they never caught him And now he's the president of the United States. That's right

I can now reveal that was Joe Biden that pulled off the famous Max headroom television hack now while you guys were talking I was playing a clip from a big response to me finally pulling the Max headroom mask off of one of America's most notorious Video hackers all right, I can only assume our listeners are are peeing all over themselves. Surprise. But you guys are taking it very, very quickly. Well, I've been sitting the actual thing that's too much to tell us. All right. Very point. You know what? Deep throat. Don't reveal yourself. I'm too big. Going to this carnival. Jimmy Hoth is body. I don't need to know where you are. I'm about to go watch TV. I don't need to know where Jimmy Hoth is Bonnie. I don't need to know where you are. I'm about to go watch TV.

I don't need to know where Jimmy Hoth's body is. Now with that attitude, you were saying? So while you were talking about that, I was attempting to share audio on my hand. And I'm assuming that happened or didn't happen. But didn't happen. That's why we kept talking to the audience. It didn't happen to either of you. It happened at all. I think it's probably a good time for me to double check my Zoom settings.

Because it played perfectly fine for me, and I'm sure is it showing you the image of my screen? Yes. Okay, but it won't actually make the sound. I don't hear any of these things. No, I haven't heard it. There we go. Okay. And here, just to prompt you guys again, this is talking about celebrating 15 years of the flop house and resume.

So, Dan, it has been 15 years for you as you are the creator founder genius behind the flop house Yeah, yeah, so yeah, how do you feel about this little house you've constructed? Yeah, I guess I feel Good, yeah, I mean like it's definitely I did not expect actual success when I started it. I have to say so I feel good about it. What did you expect? I don't know. I was throwing a lot of stuff against the wall back

and trying to figure out how to make some kind of showbiz career. And I guess that's what happened. I made some kind of showbiz career. And you made a showbiz career, right? Now the question is, Dan, thinking about it now, what would you do differently if you could go back 15 years

and do this whole podcast thing all over? Just the podcast decisions, no other decisions? No, you could change all this, I mean, this is a safe space. You can talk about everything. We're after dark Dan. Yes. So is there like a, do I have like,

I know, all my, all my neck of some kinds with me? Sure. Yes. You do have a support. All the neck. What would your version of the Biff first speed, Dan? You know, you know how they have those casinos in the Biff first and whatever. Like I think, yes, I, of course, it would be more of kind of a duct tails, uh, themed

amusement park that would be the dystopian. All right. The duck's tobian future that Dan will coize with together. Yeah. Mm hmm. Okay. So, uh, yeah, I mean, the podcast would be the same though, right? Well, here's, no, that's my point.

Yeah, my point is I would go back and I would make a lot of money and some other endeavor so that I didn't suck the life out of the creative things in my life, not this podcast. I want to make it clear, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about other stuff. Steve, in my life. You're talking about the peach bid after dark. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. I just want to keep my love of comedy intact so I can do this podcast as a hobby while I was independently wealthy. That sounds great. Elliot, what changes might you make to your life? If I went back 15 years, if you say don't ever do the flop- house in the first place, I would be impressed. Uh, why would that impress you? That's a serious.

Because it's a wild way to make everyone mad at you. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm slowly evolving into a heel as I get older, but I'm not that much of a heel yet. Uh, I think probably, uh, I would, there's some outside of work things that I would pursue more, but the flop house,

I'd just keep doing it the same way I do it. Maybe I'd try to get us to put more into publicity, put more effort into publicizing the flop house. But you know what, we're doing great. Like Skywriting and stuff. And in this world, survival is success. So yes, Skywriting, probably we probably put fortunes in fortune cookies that were like,

you will listen to the fly-pouse. It probably could have gotten professional earlier, although arguably we're still not there. So that's another change we could have done. I guess, I mean, doing it for not waiting, what was it, seven or eight years to start charging money to do the show was somewhat of a mistake, but but yeah, just putting it out there for everyone. I probably would not have recorded every episode for the first 10 years very drunk.

Maybe eight years. I don't know. Okay, it's whatever. It's fine. It was like early episodes, you know, different. I mean, I feel like there must be some episodes in the first eight to 10 years that are the even less. Yeah, the honest answer is there's probably plenty of things I said back then that I wouldn't stand behind now. Yeah, you're like, Donald Trump's gonna be the best president ever, etc. I think I'm on record with my feelings about that.

Although there was that time where I was, I made a joke during the GI Joe rise of co-bred episode and I said that the American people had never elected a leader with that crazy of a haircut and that was proven incorrect. Incredibly wrong. And, man, you had to eat those words. It's your fault. But we got a man. That is a, the America said, Oh, yeah, we'll show you a bitter meal, the broccoli rob of meals. So on this episode of the Peach Bit, there was a moment where Stewart made a reference joke in one direction, and Dan and Elliott decided to go in a different direction.

Let's listen. It's, you know what, I'm upgrading it to volcanic. It's as hard as you can. Oh, wow. Smoking somebody stop me. Smoking like aces. So, if your aces are smoking, please call the oil company in complain.

Yeah, stop playing your Texas hold them or whatever it is, you know. Drop those. Don't hold them. Yeah. Drop those cars. So, I decided to go in the mask direction. You guys went smoking aces now. Which reference do you think is more appropriate for the flopphouse

listeners, which which I feel like the mask is a little more common. Smoking is like a little more niche. It feels like a false choice. I don't think that we need to, I don't think either of those choices is inappropriate. I registered and were appreciated by the audience. I also, how many times have you seen both of those movies? Um, let's see, I would say that I've seen the mask maybe two and a half times and smoking ases once. And I would say, I would say, as a kid, I probably watched the mask, I don't know, six times. A hundred times. I have never seen.

Now, okay, it's a movie that for me is only a, only a poster. Is this, are you, you know, is there an implication here Stuart that this was a superior reference because it was because here's the, here's my secret, my secret to not succeeding in comedy. I've always had a stubborn belief that the stranger, less accessible reference will be funnier, which is, you know, led me to where I am today, sort of a middle tier broadcaster. Well, it's why I think there was a big hull of blue over at the Daily Show when you were working there. When you pushed so hard for that toxic avenger for President running campaign that you

wanted to have appear at least twice a week on the show. And people were like, I just don't think anyone really remembers that much about the Toxic Avenger. And Dan was like, that's the point. That's the point. And then once we've got their interest, we turn it into the Toxic Crusaders, the cartoon show, which is even more obscure.

Yeah, that was an interesting choice, Dan. You didn't share that with our listeners. Do you want to elaborate any more on this Toxic Avenger thing? Well, as far as I know, I made up story. Also, you know, that's far too. That was a very, that was a very covering your business. Every is very bad. But I do want to say this, listening back to this episode of the Peach Pit, Alex is doing a great job producing like in these

nice headphones on. Yeah. Sounds crisp. Everyone sounds different. Like there's a feeling of dimensionality to the sounds. Love it. So yeah, Dan's referencing Alex Smith, who is the producer on the the Peach Pit after dark as well as the Peach Pit and the flop house as well as many other shows which you may hear later. The next question of course goes for Mr. Spaghetti Jones and the question is, how is your podcast Curly's Corner going? Yeah, unfortunately I had to take a short break from Coilies Coina. That's my podcast. And, you know, just a lot of things going on on my personal life and I just couldn't, uh, and I now that I'm remembering more what, uh,

spaghetti sounds like. It's, uh, just, you know, I think I might get back to it, but it's just been a busy time. It's been a busy time for spaghetti Jones and you mentioned, you mentioned problems in your personal life. I think this might be the right time to address. Are you ready to address the public allegations that have been made against you spaghetti j. God, I'm not, not familiar with any allegations that might have been made against me. It seems like we should talk about them here on air as opposed to dodging them entirely. This is a safe space for you spaghetti. I mean, it would be a safe space if people were in ambush and we already with these questions.

What do you want to talk about? I'm an open book. I'm an talk about? I'm an open book. I'm an informant. I'm an open book. I tell people all the time. I'm always do whatever. And sometimes I write banks. But what's that?

What are you saying about me? Your silence is deafening. Well, thank you so much for joining us. But get it. We're going to continue to show. Was that my time? I need to finish your time. Do you have anything you'd like to plug? I guess the return of Coilies Koyna, my podcast, which I guess I have to put out to clear

my name against allegations that may or may not exist based on things that never, certainly never happened. Can you give me one clue as to which specific of the many allegations level against me? So the next thing I want to talk about in this recent episode of the peach bit, of course, sorry, clearly we got to move on is, of course, there's a moment of star wars talking. Let's get right into it. They're sex.

I know, Dan, I know, Dan, that you would rather be a modern day, George Lucas, and go back and fix what you think are problems with the original, which are really what people love about it. But maybe you want to insert a scene with Java the Hut that there's really no point for because just repeating information that was in the grito scene. But what if someone steps on his tail and his eyes bugged out all funny? Yeah, what if the power dynamic that's being established between Han Solo smuggler afraid of his life and Java the Hut incredible crime lord, a member of the band, the incredible crime lord. What if that was just a member of the family, the Incredibles?

Yeah, what if that was just completely ignored, and he stepped on his tail, thus having Han Solo, I guess put Java in his place for a moment with no punishment whatsoever. Yeah, you want to do that kind of thing with small timbre, small timbre. And you're like, I always meant it to be small timbre. So I guess I'll go back and change it so that me as an old man is happy even though it's making millions of fans around the world unhappy, that's how you feel about it.

So, is this the first time that we have ever talked about Star Wars on the flop house? I don't remember any other ones. And actually, just to break K-fabe for the moment, two things. One, I was looking for the word undercut during that, and I just wasn't coming into my head. But that's what I should have said. Undercut the menace, the power dynamics. But also, someone today was telling me how much they loved our routine about Luke Skywalker

and the people on Tatooine, assuming that he killed his aunt and uncle, and then fled to escape punishment after the events, the first. Of course, was that one of those bits that I started and then it's like, I'm going to take this ball and run a marathon of it? Exactly. Exactly. What happened? His steward was a steward picked up that diamond and said, what is this and described it

and then I snatched it from his hands and ran away and go to my own personal bank. Yeah, yeah. I'm the D goal to your Simea goal. You the the the the Jack Kirby to my Stanley. We're like, look at this cool idea. And I'm like, yeah, yes, mine now. I own it anyway. Bye.

I feel like we for a non specifically tagged Star Wars podcast, the flop house and the peach pit. Talk about Star Wars. What a bit. Yeah, we're white men in our middle age. What do you talk about? I mean, to at this point, Star Wars is possibly the closest thing America has to a shared common culture. Yeah, that's, I mean, I, uh, it's kind of kind of what what the Bible was to the eight year, the 19th century. Yep. And what, I don't know what would have been in the in the first half of the 20th century, what a, what do you got? A shared, a shared vision of democracy was in the second half of the 20th century. A little out died and everyone cried about it. Yeah, just all those, all those people on the waiting on the docs

for that ship to come in from George Luke's private island asking, is Jar Jar still around? What happened to Jar Jar? Tell us, can't wait for you to unload the manuscripts of Star Wars. Exactly. Nobody ever talks about Big Nell. Or nobody talks about the boy in the bubble anymore.

The baby with the babbo. Or the balloon? The balloon who's the boy in the balloon? Yeah, yeah, because what business is magical, magical's art or science is magic and magic is art? How are just residing lyrics? And I see that Stuart is hovering over some sort of other clip. So what amazing what amazing segue would be if this was a part of the episode where we

talked about Paul Simon. It would be amazing. Partly because I'm not particularly familiar with the works of Paul Simon outside of, I guess his hits. Dan, I'm assuming he's into all the deep cuts and B sides of Paul Simon's. Can I long? I wouldn't go that far, but I had some of his, you know, this early solo albums. And you're, you're, you're taking this review.

You take us down Paul Simon drive Stewart and I was prepared. Wait, I pointed at Paul Simon drive and said, Hey, what's down there? And then Stewart jerked the wheel over. So head straight down it. Unfortunately, what was there was a brick wall. It's okay. The thing is that we can chalk that one up to a whoopsie. And whoopsies are a big part of the peach pit. And so we're going to talk about probably the biggest whoopsie of the night. That's right. Grease is jeans.

Christal. He's not from Grease. Jesus. That was not from Jesus Christ. Super crystal. No. What were you trying to say? Jesus Christ was super small and you said, Greasus Jeans? Yes. Greasus Jeans, Stan. So take us back there. What was going on in your head? Well, I, if you listen, I never actually said Greasus Jeans, but I did go along with Ellie.

What is it? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Let's take us back there. What was going on in your head? Well, if you listen, I never actually said

Greece's genes, but I did go along with alley. What do you say, Greece's genes? What was it, Jesus? Greece's Jesus, all right. We, I, I, so I guess that was my woofsy. What, yeah, no, I was trying to get to. What, what Dan was trying to say was greasy Jesus Less popular get ahead of harder time finding

We have a good time. I was like yes What if I just started talking during the clips and then the listener wouldn't know whether What level of reality there occur on the end. I mean, that would be kind of fitting for tonight. So the, if anyone listening knows what level of reality they're on, I would so much appreciate the help in that. So please write in and tell us what level of reality we're currently at,

because every day I think I've got it and it turns out I'm way off. So we keep getting emails about the Church of greasy Jesus. And so I have to ask Dan, have you been saved yet? Have I been thinking about turning it into a real religion for the tax break? Yeah, have you heard it oily news? I mean, we could, you know, well, what if we were sort of a benevolent Scientology? I was going to say we could be like a figure like Al Rahnhobert, but you know, there's a if we were sort of a benevolent Scientology? I was going to say we could be like

a figure like Al Rahnhobert, but you know, there's a lot of horrible stuff. What if we like started kind of just like a religion that was just a place for, you know, people to hang out after work? I mean, I think a benevolent religion is what Jesus tried to do and it kind of got out of the way. His mistake was he died. Are you sacrificing your own life? That's the first time he died. He didn't have the first time he died. Like when he died, that part kind of like made his name. But then when he left after he came back,

that was the mistake because then it was in our hands so we can't have messed with it. I don't think technically that priests would say that he died at that point when he went to have it, but I like the idea that Jesus died and then he came back and was like, see, and then someone shot him. We're like, he was like, see, I redeemed everybody and then he, he got in a car and the car, you know, just hit a truck or something like that. That he had a, he had a whole big plan. I just, I think, just hit a truck or something like that. He had a whole big plan. I just, I think, yeah, it's like a final destination. I think, you know, you think, wait, so wait, actually, I want to, I want to follow

Stuart's thinking here that, that, so, so the ultimate final destination story is Jesus' because he did die in the cross and then escape death and came back. Uh huh. And that Tony Todd then followed him around, and I guess waiting for the elaborate death traps to finally catch him. Yep, Tony Todd was there to provide like knowing color commentary, but not actually doing anything bad.

He's not a bad guy. No. Here's my problem. I think that the issue is kind of like how the constitution was written a long time ago and then we're like, we can't change it because we've decided that this document is perfect for no particular reason.

Likewise. And against the explicit wishes of the people who wrote the original document, we said, please change this. So I think just like Star Wars, Bible-wise, we haven't been doing our regular updates. We should be on version that have been doing our regular updates. Like we should be on version, you know, 2.0, 0.8, 0.7. Yeah, you keep getting at this notification and then up or right hand corner your screen, you're like, what's this? Big red exclamation point for.

I try to set it up. I plugged by Bible in at night. I leave it turned on and it doesn't rotate. It's a fire. It tells me. You've burned your house down. And then I gotta get a new one. And the new one still doesn't get in the next fire. It tells me. You've burned your house down. And then I got to get a new one. And the new ones still doesn't have the most recent iOS. Yeah.

You know, all this talking about religion makes me think about it. Have you guys ever tried, have you guys, have you guys tried microdosing? No, that's great because our show today is our show today. Of course, that means the peach bid after dark is sponsored by microdose gummies. That's right. Microdose gummies deliver perfect entry level doses of THC that help you feel just the right amount of good. You know, I'm a user, Dan's a user, Elliott. I'm sure has considered it. And for me,

it is a great way to wind out the end of the night. It makes me a little more creative and helps me sleep better. I should probably use it. I should get around to it.

And oh, shame, wah, I think it said shame, wah, like like a like a rag that would use to, yeah, to clean it out. Not not to interrupt and throw us off track, but Miss Piggy, definitely in my in my celebrity hall pass category. Well, I'll let Frank Oz know, um, and he can, I don't know. Do you got extra pub to do? I'm sure how to call my bluff. I'll do it. I'm in the middle. No, no. I mean, Frank was showing up at Hinderlands tomorrow with with the puppet. And it's like the first episode of Black Mirror.

He's like, do it. Go ahead. You said you do it. Like, okay. Right now. This is awful. I don't like, I'm sorry that I went down this road. Hello, fresh. How dare you mention, Miss Piggy? Let's. Hello, fresh. Audrey and I had some just recently, and I am not just, I'm not, I kid you not when I say that about half of the conversation was about how good the meal was. And I got the healthy meal and I think that a lot of times the barrier to making that kind of stuff is just the convenience, literally having it around and I found that literally having around and I found that having these things meant that instead of me having to think like, what can I make in my brain drifting to something grosser, we instead had

a nice healthy meal. Sorry when you say that. No, no, you got it. I wanted to chime in and say that we also had some hello fresh at here at our non-miss big affiliated house and it was also delicious. I got the family friendly meals because I have two small children who are not exactly adventure some eaters, but we had through these like pork tostadas I think they were and those were a huge hit with both me and the boys.

And then also this really great macaroni and cheese that they had of the boys also really loved. And so I think if you got a family and you don't want to even have to think about what you're going to make and you just want to have all the stuff there for you, go with hello fresh, they got it, the foods were really good and the ingredients were very fresh. And you know what they said to me when I opened them up? One. Nothing, they're food. But I felt like they were very fresh. And you know what they said to me when I opened them up? What? Nothing, they're food.

But I felt like they were saying hello. Okay, imagine. No, it's for your leadness, Dave. It's true, I chopped up some ginger. I'm like, this ginger is juicy, not desiccated. Like the ginger I usually get at the store. Anyway, go to do the ginger. Yeah.

We've got a jumbo trun today and the jumbo trun says like this and it doesn't really say again, like it. I'm take the jumbo trunks on this one. That's right. We've got a jumbo tron today. And the jumbo tron says like this. And it doesn't really say, again, like it, I'm going to say it. It's not the jumbo tron talking about. This is me now. The jumbo tron through me says, art slice is a podcast that makes art history and sometimes color theory, rowdy and accessible through storytelling, goofs, pantry mons, and real world art insights. A good starting point is episode 17 featuring sculptaturing sculptor, Maria Marchins, the Wheel and a Galley guy, Marcel Duchamp, and the work they made as a result of their semi-secret love affair.

Art slice, subscribe on your pod player or go to artslicepod.com. And yeah, go and subscribe on your pod player wherever you listen to podcasts or go to artslicepod.com and that's artslice. And you know me, I'm interested in anything Marcel Duchamp related. So I think I'm gonna listen. Nice.

Great. I'm Jesse Thorn. On the next Bullseye, our annual Halloween spectacular. We'll interview Anna Fabrega from Lo Ispookies, Monet Exchange, for Drag Race, and the great RL Stein, creator of Goosebumps. You know, I don't really get too deep into the real fears. It's a lot safer to do a dummy coming to life. That's on the next Bolesi for MaximumFun.org and NPR.

Hi, I'm Jesse Thorne, the founder of MaximumFun, and I have a special announcement. org and NPR. Hi, I'm Jesse Thorn, the founder of Maximum Fun, and I have a special announcement. I'm no longer embarrassed by my brother and my brother in me. You know, for years, each new episode of this supposed advice show was a fresh insult, a depraved jumble of erection jokes, ghost humor, and and frankly this is for the best very little actionable advice. But now as they enter their twilight years I'm as surprised as anyone to admit that it's

gotten kind of good. Just in Travis and Griffin's witticisms are more refined like a humor column in a fancy magazine. And they hardly ever say Bazinga anymore. So after you've completely finished listening to every single one of all of our other shows, why not join the McElroy Brothers every week for my brother and my brother inmate? Hey, grease monkeys, welcome back to the Peach Pit pit stop. You're one stop spot for all things related to the Peach Pit and the Peach Pit after

dark. Tonight I'm joined by two members of the Flop House podcast. That's right, Dan McCoy, Elliot Kaling podcast superstar. Thanks so much for joining me. Now you guys are reviewers of media, okay? You guys review movies. I'm sure you guys also do some stuff on the side. What do you guys like?

Do you guys do letterbox? Do you use Yelp? What's up? Do you like people's social media posts? I mean, occasionally I've been known to like a poster too. Stuart, I feel like you're undercutting your own letterbox account. Because I don't think you're very big on letterbox. And also we've been known on the flop house to talk to with a certain two.

That's true. We talk, we talk to sometimes on the flop house podcast. So what, what do you like about? Do you guys, I know that you do, you review things professionally, but do you get a joy out of doing it non professionally? Uh, I mean, I, asked reference before, I mostly get joy out of non-professional things because professional things always end up figuring out a way to mess with you. But, um, yeah, I'm on

Letterbox, Dan came with Koi, like my Twitter, Letterbox, sect, I'm... Dan Koi. I log everything I see. I make a rule that I have to write something about every one of those things. Sometimes it's an actual review where I'm making interesting points at some times.

It's just a joke or some personal thoughts and it's very short. But yeah, check it out. Now is reviewers of pop culture and media. Can you think of a time when reviewing something has like recommending something to someone or reviewing something favorably has come back and beat you on the ass? Guess not. It happens to me all the time when I recommend things to people and then they're like, hey, that movie recommended, it wasn't good.

And I'm like, no shit, you're an idiot. I recommended good stuff. It's not my fault. You don't like good stuff. I don't have too many interactions like that. Even if someone says they didn't like it, I'm usually like, okay, that was your opinion. I mean, the closest I get to that one. No, you should be a meaner to people, Elliot, I think.

No, no, no. I went many years ago, I recommended the movie headwig and the angry inch to my mother. And she told me afterwards, she said, I couldn't finish it. That movie's for younger people. I love that. And I was just left to unpack what that comment meant. But otherwise, so you're like, maybe next time, mom, you should try springbreakers. Or kids.

I mean, it's for kids right in the title. Says kids right there. Let's watch it. I mean, I, I feel like I, yeah, I'm almost defiantly like contrarian sometimes in what? Not in like in an angry like troll on Twitter way, but like with my letterbox reviews like I'm more like a happy troll working I mean as a black mind or a mind or yeah, a mind troll Where I told it has plenty of food like if I'm reading long luxurious beer well, I'm the bearded troll

Again my letterbox is for myself. So I'm writing something on there I read it as basically according to how much I enjoyed it and throw the ideas of objectivity out the window and I figure like, if anyone's reading this as like me, they'll know, hey, I'm like that guy, I like that thing. But in real life, I'm very terrified to recommend anything to anyone because I'm like, I don't know what you like, whatever man, like you figure it out, you'll probably get a better.

That's how you'll probably do better. I don't feel that way about movies, but I do feel that way about food. And I do have a very particular anxiety that I hate when someone is like, oh yeah, well, why don't you just order for us? Or like what's good here? And I do not like the idea of having to be responsible

for what someone else is gonna eat, that it's just exciting. I don't want that to be specific. I agree with you, Audrey, sometimes like, do I want this or do I want this? I'm like, I, why? Do I look like a waiter? Why have you gone beyond your own mind?

This question, there's no way that else you could possibly be more qualified to answer this question of your story. Let me ask your tongue, would it feel like Audrey's tongue? Which would you prefer? I don't know. What do you think? Don't ask me. I'm not going to.

See, that's the trouble. In decisive tone. Do you ever feel like a question like that is just like almost like her metaphorical hand is reaching out and saying, Dan, I wanna have a conversation. You know, well, Stuart, you've, you know, right to the nub of the gist,

I think that a lot of the interactions I previously got frustrated with, I learned like, oh wait, no, this is an effort to make a human connection. Yeah. And then I should try and tell that. No, just to solve problems rather than being a robot man. So, it's people ask questions just as a way of getting to thoughts, yeah.

Yeah. I remember when I was a little kid, I expressed excitement about a rock and roll band. I think it was queen maybe. I think it was right around when Wayne's role came out. And I was like, wow, music's cool. And I remember my dad making a snarky comment about it. And it immediately made me think, oh, I will never express my interest in something again. Yeah, that can be a harsh thing at an early age, especially from the top learning. Don't worry. My issues with my dad are are being extensively examined by me and my therapist. This really is. Oh, that's great. This really is flat house after

dark at this point. So really, we're getting real. This is like Taylor Swiss midnight. You know, these are the conversations we have at midnight. It's 12 o3 here. Yeah, it is yeah, 12 o3 Speaking of getting real now where I am 903 still prime time, baby cool math um How am I doing as host guys? I mean, you're really keeping us on point with this barbs like that one on point with this barbs like that one. There's a real, there's a real Stuart dad actually back to that.

Yeah. It's a different day. I don't know. I don't know. I learned it from watching you. Oh my God. Do you ever do things and you're like, that's exactly like my fucking dad does. What, like everything from like little conversation things

to like a weird vocal tick where I'm like, I can't believe I say like, I mean, there are many times that I'm making like an expression with my face and I'm basically imagining either my dad or my two older brothers. Like, I'm like, I probably look like this from the outside. Okay. Now guys, we're talking about getting real.

Let's get even more real. Mm. Can we? Was it, do you guys think it was a good idea to bring spaghetti jones back? Like, I think people remember him? Is there any like, like Dan Forgotty even existed?

There's no fan art of spaghetti games. He's not a, he's not a popular character and also this was edited out by Alex. So of course, the audience won't know this, but he had to be physically removed from the premises. Yeah. He caused a lot of trouble. So it might have made him a better view. It you had brought back one of our more popular characters like Old Lady who loves toon tin. I'll say I'm fine with the character

I do think that maybe the implication that he's done horrible things was a turn But we didn't need to take Who knows? I mean maybe though, unless you're sending me back to Rob, for later. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is all for several episodes later on the Peach Pit after Dark, yeah. Well, we're actually on the Peach Pit pit stop right now. Peach Pit after Dark's a different show. But speaking of new shows... ["The Peach Pit"]

Hey, things not going your way. Welcome back to Life's the Pits, the review podcast covering the Peach Pit, a flop house review podcast joining us in the pit today are Dan McCoy and Elliot Kaylen. So guys, is there been any drama on the flop house lately? Which, where are we? I guess the last show ended and it's a new show.

Where in life, this is Life's the Pits. Oh yeah, I mean, and it's a new show. We're in life. This is life's the pits. Oh, yeah. I mean, as I'm in drama, I guess on the previous show we were on, we kind of got real, you know, invulnerable. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and this in this peach pit programming block for this flop house discussion programming block on what network is this? This is this is this show is not on a network.

Although it recommends people check out the maximum fun network. Maybe at some point maximum fun will decide to accept life's the pits as a show for the, for the network. Although it seems weird because it's a podcast that just focuses on reviewing other shows that review the flop house. Yeah.

So guys, where will this end? Are we just going to watch Midiville in space again? You think that we're somehow sort of like how if you leave matter infinitely, it will break down, but then eventually reform into, you know, other shapes and eventually it's original shape that somehow we're you have in microdosing dance circle around to amity of hell again. The infinite regress of this this bit will eventually turn into us watching that film. So it's interesting that you talk about circles. No definitive answer to that, but I guess how could there be?

Yeah, unless it reveals himself to be a God or Q-like figure, Q from Star Trek, the next generation, not Q, the conspiracy character. Sort of a version of King from Loki or something. It's interesting that you guys bring up a god-like figure because... ...Lifer reminds me of a stone here in the far south. Make a move with... Shatter asked the King's former senatorial turned rogue proto-mancer.

Has kidnapped your companion Tanzer Silverview, in his clock of ages, at the peak of his shattered tower. Wait a minute, what's going on? Rain lash down on you as you huddle in the lea of Iraqi outcrop. Elliot, of course, you'll be playing the role of Jeremy Scales' Fing Battle, Dan Hullars. You'll be playing the role of Lucian Buttwater.

Sure. Dark Forces gather above the tower. battle, Dan, we'll be playing the role of Lucian Buttwater. Dark forces gather above the tower. You only have 90 minutes to stop Shatterass from completing his ritual. A ritual that Tanz is no more blood is a key component. How will you enter the Chrono Mancers Keep? So why don't you guys gather your dice. You're going to need at least one D20 of the D sixes. Maybe a D for war. I guess what do we decide to take a long rest? Okay. Take a long rest in the, I

mean, you're going to want to take a short rest. You only have 90 minutes to go. I know. Well, I'm the rich. Well, being you know, the circumstances will take care of themselves. Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So it sounds like it sounds like you're not prepared to complete this flop tail. So I think we might have to say this for another future flop house mini. So for so for life's the pits, the peach pit pit stop and the peach pit after dark. I've been Stewart Wellington and I've been joined by my two pals, L.A. K. Lund, Dan McCoy. We are representatives of the flop house podcast, a great podcast that's on the maximum fun network of podcasts. There's plenty of

other good podcasts, arguably some as complicated as this one. In addition, our this podcast is going to be heavily edited and hopefully juiced up by Alexander Smith, who has done plenty of great work for us. you can find him at Howell Daudy on very social media. He also does a great podcast called Fast Track of which we are going to be guests on, I think, probably around the same time. This episode drops if you want to hear the spooky, ascarias song in the universe. Sexiest, ascarias song.

I mean, I felt that went without saying, but I guess yeah. Yeah, so thanks again, guys. Do you have anything else to plug? The next iteration of this show, whatever it may be, I plug it now. I feature plug it. Bye. Bye! Maximumfund.org Comedy and Culture
