00 Hello!

Welcome in!

3002! Lotta ways to say that!

Much more traffic on president’s day than expected. Clear streets!

Talking about comedy heroes of Jimmy’s who he wanted to get on the show. Some that probably won’t happen? Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks. Don Rickles also considering he passed.

We’re here no zoom!

Thanks everyone for coming to the Flappers show!

5 – Oliver did the intro!

Jose Liriano!

Jimmy talks about his show and the intro video and Whitney Cummings being overly pretentious.

10 – Angry NNF Fan was in the zoom room for the show. He requested Oliver doing the reservation voicemail. Jimmy would have ended the show right then if he could have because of how funny it was.

Oliver comedically snatched the pop fly out of Jimmy’s hands is an analogy that Matt used just now. Comparing it to the Ken Griffey’s.

Jimmy talks about the guy who was talking in the zoom but apparently didn’t know he could be heard. Jimmy yelled at him and then felt guilty.

20 – I help our guest with her test so I miss this great swap meet chat.

Paula Poundstone is here! She’s representing the press!

“What’s a drag queen?” – Charlie

Jimmy tells Paula to stop tweeting at Stephanie Miller.

Very little action for Jimmy’s bikes. He wants to get back!

Oliver wants in!

Jimmy’s leaving the podcast to start his own podcast.

Lots of noise in the ceiling area.

We’re just weeks away from Jimmy getting his new tooth!

Paula’s favorite movie of all time: Mary Poppins.

Paula knows the Van Dyke’s! Paula talks about the Ping Pong parties!

60 – Paula talks about approaching Lauren Bacall once, and complimenting an audio book she did.

Ping Pong story and then back to the flight story!

Lotta podcasts in America!

Kickball is not the same as baseball.

Foot Golf is not the same of Golf.

1h5m – Murderball – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_rugby

Back to Ping Pong and the Van Dykes. Bea Arthur has also been invited to these parties!

Lotta people don’t come and a lot of people do come.

Bea Arthur gets invited and doesn’t come. Twice she called a month after to ask about the party and apologize for not coming and needing an assistant. The same scenario happened numerous times. When she died, the obituary featured details that were provided by…her assistant.

Paula talks about reusing the plastic plates/utensils after parties. One party they ran out and had to get them out of the trash to reuse. Dick Van Dyke was sitting right next to the trash can. Paula believes he stopped eating right about that time.

1h10m – Don’t come to dinner at Paula’s. She’s only got one bowl.

Paula talks about touring and covid. On touring in Florida and Texas: “I want to see them before they die.”

No meet and greats or merch at shows. She doesn’t want to put anyone’s health at risk.

Camp Granada! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Granada

Paula talks about her daughter, who has Cerebral Palsy. She taught her multiplication 7s using the tune of the Camp Granada song.

1h15m – Back to Paula’s plane story. It’s a celebrity sighting!

It’s a female politician 25 years ago.

1h20m – more republican racism nonsense: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/02/john-kennedy-biden-supreme-court-j-crew

It was Barbara Boxer!

Paula doesn’t care about professional sports. She’d prefer a selection process not dissimilar from Jury Duty.

Extend those warranties! Paula talks about how lucky she is to get so many reminders about her car warranty before they run out.

Back to the Barbara Boxer story. She stopped and talked with her, over her husband’s head, and finally the guy got up and gave her his seat. Paula thinks he was being sarcastic in retrospect, but she did switch seats with him.

1h25m – Paula admits that anything that gets said to her reminds her of something else she wants to say.
“I went to the senate once.” – Paula to Barbara Boxer

Paula has a Geena Davis story. She sat next to her on a plane. Paula made a joke to her and got absolutely nothing. Twice.

1h30m – Paula talks about recognizing herself once.

1h35m – Paula talks about doing the Improv and picking the host of the show she would appear on. She chose Bea Arthur.

Jimmy might watch Maude after Quincy!

Paula really loves Breaking Bad. She’s recently gone back to Perry Mason.

1h40m – It’s time for Oliver’s Trivia!

Category: President’s Day
Question: Warren G Harding, the 29th president, was an extreme gambler once bet and lost what priceless item from the white house in a poker game?

Lock her up!

We’ll be right back!

We’re back to some nonsense noises that Jimmy compares to a Blues Brothers song.

Paula has a problem with auctions. She talks about the truck auction and the “year supply” of pepsi she got with it.

She gave her assistant the truck. He’s been her assistant for 25+ years.

1h45m – My guess is Washington’s Portrait!

How fun to play Poker at the white house? Or foosball? Or Ping pong

Talking vows of silence.

Eliot’s answer is President’s Desk!

John Goodman’s a great actor!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft#Declining_health_and_death_(1930)

Jimmy’s mad Paula didn’t tell us this story earlier when we were talking about the oval office.

Paula talks about a CIA program with cats.

2h5m: Paula has a bet with her assistant about Trump going to prison. If he doesn’t, she has to get him a mini Bundt cake.

You get nothing, Paula!
