On this episode of The Flop House, we discuss the surprisingly long 88 minutes.

0:31.0

Hello everyone and welcome to The Flop House. I'm Dan McCoy. I'm Elliot Kaylen. And Stuart Wellington is not here.

0:39.0

And I'm like, boo. Yeah, that jerk. No, I mean, boo, like I wish he was here. Sure, that that is well. But I'm like other times when he's absent.

0:50.0

We don't have a special guest. Boo. Yeah, we tried. We tried. It was busy. Yeah.

0:58.0

Yeah. Apparently people were people were too excited about sleeping off their hangovers from last night's election. Yeah. We are reporting this a mere day after Barack Obama was elected president of the United States.

1:13.0

Elliot, Barack Obama appeared on the Daily Show the week before the election. So would you like to take this opportunity to take credit for his win? Yes.

1:23.0

Actually, I'd like to take credit for his win because of the fist bump that I shared with him about a year ago, I guess, when he came when he was he was a guest via satellite.

1:33.0

Yes, that last week was a guest in person quite some time ago. And due to a mishap involving a bag of Doritos that I won't get into here, we were unable to shake hands. And so we fist bumped instead.

1:45.0

Right. And I think I think you taught him. I think I think that and I think just I gave him the power to win presidential elections through my fist or through the Doritos dust that was on your hand.

1:57.0

Yes. And that was radioactive Doritos dust. Doritos dust that made it impossible for me to shake his hand because I had not washed my hands since I'd eaten a bag of Doritos.

2:06.0

Yeah. I must have looked like the biggest slot in the world because I was literally standing at the end of a line of people waiting to shake his hand. And I'm just sitting there stuffing Doritos into my face as he makes his way down the line.

2:17.0

Yeah. It was just like the Mr. Bean when the Queen, the Queen or the Queen mother is going to the movie theater that he works at. And he's literally like trying to fix his fly while she slowly works his way down the line. So like finished the Doritos. And I was like, oh no, I got Doritos on my hands looking around for napkins and didn't know.

2:32.0

Yeah. That makes it so much worse because before I had I pictured the story like, you know, you're in the editing bay or something. You're eating Doritos. You want you like you like exit the room and people are leading him out. And they're like, oh, Elliot, you know, say hello to Senator Obama. And you're like, oh, I knew very well that I was going to be shaking his hand.

2:52.0

There's still plenty of time to rectify this. It couldn't maybe dust it off on your pants, couldn't resist the siren song of Doritos. And then I didn't have enough time to clean my hands thoroughly.

3:02.0

Well, but now the thing is like this improves your anecdote tremendously. You're going to be telling your grandchildren. Yes, the first black president. I was unable to shake his hand because of the Doritos.

3:13.0

In fact, you should probably get an endorsement deal from Doritos.

3:16.0

I wish that Doritos had a series of commercials called Doritos stories. And I could tell that one. And they'd, yeah, they'd pay me in Doritos.

3:23.0

The same way I've actually fantasized recently about someday if I am famous doing ads for Popeyes fried chicken because I love their products so much.

3:31.0

And just doing ads from like, hey, I'm Elliot Kaylen. Oh, this is great chicken. And I'm saying that because I really believe in it.

3:37.0

Well, I think I want to tell all the audience members. And I feel like I would ask for a deal where I could walk into any Popeyes and eat for free whenever I wanted.

3:44.0

Yeah. Well, I think the only reason that Elliot continues to do the show as he rockets to success is that I live mere blocks away from a Popeyes.

3:55.0

And every time before the movie comes in with a box of Popeyes. So Doritos and Popeyes, both of you, if you're listening, we are not too proud to take your sponsors.
