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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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?
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
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
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
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
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...
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.

I see Elliot over there contemplating what the difference is between Fresh Prince in Australia is.
I think it's because it takes place in Sydney. Bella Ayers is a suburb of Sydney. Now let's just clarify for a moment.
This is not an Australian version of Fresh Prince.
No, but I'd love the idea if they dubbed
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
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?
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. But Dan, when I looked at it, when I looked at Netflix in America, was Miracle Mile available?
It was not Dan.
It was not.
And to this day, I have still never seen that the second half of Miracle Mile don't be
like me.
Don't be like me listeners.
Learn from my mistakes.
Express VPN.

close. If you recall from before the break, it is very close. Ali, that's one. Stuart has zero.
Okay.
You can turn this around, Stu, or perhaps I'll open up an even more
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
We're all enamored of the new kitten. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so if you liked this, maybe

young healthy podcast with growing bones that's what kids have right they do
