Episode #85 - Limitless

Apparently being Limitless is still pretty limited, if all it means is making money on the stock market and banging chicks. Then again, we can see an upside to it. Meanwhile Dan explains the strange chemical reactions triggered by saliva, Stuart explains the myriad ways one can deal with a Russian mobster, and Elliott cuts Dan to the quick, office-wise.

Flop House on Break, but Enjoy this CAVALCADE OF FUN

Lazy television writers Elliott and Dan were on vacation this week, but if you absolutely need to have your podcast fix, check out Dan's guest spot on Beginnings, with Wrestling Team. He discusses making it in the comedy writing biz. Pretty tall talk for a guy who's been a comedy writer for about a month.

Also: thank you to Curt Holman at Creative Loafing's "ScreenGrab" blog, for this amazing review of The Flop House.

And enjoy Dan's brother John's visualization of "The Contest Ruiner" from episode #79 - Knight and Day:
