# Episode #313 – Dolittle

You can’t have one of #TheTwoFriends without the other! In this episode, we’re joined by [David Sims](https://twitter.com/davidlsims?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) of the [Blank Check Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blank-check-with-griffin-david/id981330533) and film critic for [The Atlantic](https://www.theatlantic.com/), to talk about Robert Downey Jr.’s next iconic blockbuster character, [Dolittle](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6673612/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1). Meanwhile Dan makes a pitch for fart acceptance, Stuart forgets our mission statement, David gives us a taste of what it was like to see Dolittle in the theater, and Elliott does an extremely aggravating bit with a raccoon finger puppet.

 Also – **EXCITING NEWS!** Since the coronavirus pandemic has kept us from touring, we’re going to _bring_ our live show to _you_ via the internet! On **Saturday, June 6, at 6 pm Pacific / 9 pm Eastern**, we’ll all be doing a video livestream on [our YouTube page](https://www.youtube.com/c/theflophousepodcast), complete with all-new live show presentations, a discussion of classic bad movie [Howard the Duck](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091225/), and a little audience interaction of some sort.

 It’ll be free to watch, but we’ll be encouraging viewers to donate to some COVID-19 relief charities, and those who donate can be entered to win some Flop House prizes! Hope to see you then!
