Dan: On this episode of The Flop House we discuss United Passions. Stuart: And by the end of this episode, you're gonna be shoutin' goooooooooooooooooooal! Dan: That's terrible. Elliott: So when you told us "I've got an idea for the intro," what you meant was you didn't.
Official Show Notes[]
- "On this episode we uncharacteristically talk sports, specifically futbol, as we watched the definitely-not-about-a-corrupt-organization FIFA film, United Passions. And who better to join us as we wade into these unfamiliar waters than sports expert and Flop House nemesis, David Kalan. Elliott introduces us to the American Bean Council mascot, Stuart coins an all-new word, Dan instructs you on sports ball Fisher Stevens cosplay, and David tells us a fascinating story about Executive Decision."
