To fill in, we have the power couple of writer/comedian Al Mullen and director/producer Ruth Lichtman.

No, it turns out House is just a prophet.
We're joined by Doug Lief of the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast (https://nostalgiumarcanum.fireside.fm/) to analyze an episode that asks "what if you couldn't pee?"

2024-04-151h 16House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 69: "House MD: The Official Game" Part 1 with Chris KopcowFor this very "nice" episode, we decided to take a brief diversion from our usually scheduled program to take a look at the House MD video game.
Writer and game developer Chris Kopcow returns to the show for a video game that looks like if you stuck WarioWare and a visual novel in a blender and then covered the whole thing in WikiHow illustrations.
Our particular experience was also narrated by someone who referred to themself as the "House of Let's Players" but this was like ten years ago...

Would you want to be a piano genius if it meant not being able to button your shirt? That's sort of what this episode asks. It also has House doing a straight up Pickle Rick type bit for whatever that's worth. What do I mean by that? You'l have to listen and see!
Also there are some audio issues here but I...
2024-03-181h 12House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 67: "Insensitive" with Michael ChauContent warning for a person being sliced open and having a worm pulled out of their guts.
Michael Chau returns for a wild episode that has a lot of great stuff to dig into but is also very hard to watch. This podcast episode, however, is quite easy to listen to.
Yes, whether you want to hear about House MD, Cuphead, or circumcision, this is the episode for you! It's packed with more fun than a worm in an intestine. What does that metaphor mean? I guess you'll have...
2024-03-041h 46House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 66: "Needle in a Haystack" with Gabriel LaksIf you wanted to learn a little bit about the history of the Romani people in New Jersey, thus is the podcast episode for you!
Writer, director, and all around friend and funny guy Gabriel Laks joins us to look at a... mostly sympathetic look at Roma people? We think? If any Romani Cuddy Buddies are listening let us know!

2024-02-191h 56House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 65: "One Day, One Room"Big Content Warning for this one!
House has a woman who was sexually assaulted and then also it turns out she's Christian so they have like a college freshman philosophy argument.
This is a good House of House episode about one of the worst House MD episodes.
Wishing someone would mention the mostly forgotten sitcom "Yes Dear" and celebrate the time it got a theme song? This is the show you've been waiting for!
2024-02-051h 12House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 64: "Words and Deeds" with Chris KopcowThe Tritter arc ends, not with a bang but with an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Writer and game designer Chris Kopcow joins us for a bit of a wild episode where House is saved by a random judge and firefighter asks to be plugged back into the Matrix so his false memories won't bother him anymore.
Did that make any sense? I guess you'll just have to listen to the episode to understand it. We also finally crack why smoking looks cool and vaping doesn't plus a...
2024-01-221h 22House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 63: "Merry Little Christmas"Happy New Year! Have a Christmas episode!
House is fully in withdrawal mode, which, as you know, makes you a bad doctor unlike when you're constantly zonked on pills. Despite this setback, House finds time to have the only sexual chemistry we've seen him have so far. It's with a mother with dwarfism and also her daughter has dwarfism... OR DOES SHE?!
Things might be rough for House but we have ourselves a wonderful time with this fun episode. We even find time for a diversion about some of...

Whatever. There's lots of great House/Wilson stuff and we've got a recap of the first 17 minutes of the House MD DS game...

Ellie Warren is here for her first full House episode and it's a great time to jump in. In addition to this all time banger of a House adventure we discuss MTV dating shows, puppy airlines, and go over an article that claims to count down the "cruelest House moments!'
You don't wanna miss it!
2023-12-091h 47House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 59: "Que Sera Sera"We're back, baby!
SAG got a deal so we're promoting the hell out of House MD, now available on Hulu as well as Amazon Prime. It's another episode dealing with a fat person, but it's handled a whole lot better even if Chase is still Hitler to him.
We do briefly get into the Holmes story we promised to cover but who cares?! House is back! And he's in trouble with the law! Wilson might betray him?! It's a top tier ep and this is a top tier podcast...
2023-11-131h 09House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 58: House of House Gaiden Episode 7: Home of Holmes Episode 6: The Five Orange PipsApparently Doyle was so impressed by the idea of alliteration and racist mobs that he built a whole mystery around it. Not a very good mystery, mind you.
Still, it's fun to talk about. We also dunk on people with silly and ignorant views of history from our platform as people with Good and Correct views of history and we've got some terrible House listicle content that in no way promotes or suggests you watch the show!
Want us to suggest you watch the show? Then give SAG a good deal DAVE!
2023-10-301h 14House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 57: House of House Gaiden Episode 6: Home of Holmes Episode 5: The Boscombe Valley MysteryHard to believe, but this is our first murder. Yes, this isn't about a hidden painting or a bizarre scam to steal gold but a for real dead guy. And not just dead guy, a dead Australian guy!
We've got our usual sassy Holmes but otherwise the mystery is a bit slight. It's still a fun discussion though, and we also divert into one of the original Edgar Allan Poe detective stories with a more surprising culprit and a bet about labor politics.
2023-10-1657 minHouse of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 56: House of House Gaiden Episode 5: Home of Holmes Episode 4: A Case of IdentityYou've heard of the Hounds of the Baskervilles but what about the Catfish of London?!
Our SAG strike coverage of the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes continues. In this thrilling adventure, he mostly sits in his office and listens to a lady. But what could have happened to her groom to be?!
We also discuss various porn parody ideas and the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights and more! So listen!
2023-10-021h 07House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 55: House of House Gaiden Episode 4: Home of Holmes Episode 3: The Redheaded LeagueOur Home of Holmes journey continues with "The Redheaded League." Can Holmes help the most credulous moron in London figure out if he was scammed? The mystery is a little bit better than last time but Doyle's still figuring it out. Watson does seem pretty excited to shoot a guy, at least, so that's fun.
There's also a very current discussion of "Seven" or as you may know it, "SeSevenen." Also, there are discussions of multiple types of scams you should watch out for, so you can't afford not to listen! Plus it's funny!
2023-09-181h 02House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 54: House of House Gaiden Episode 3: Home of Holmes Episode 2We begin our Home of Holmes journey with our resident Sherlock Scholar, Sara Ghaleb (@SaraGhaleb), and "A Scandal in Bohemia."
Holmes meets his greatest match: a woman of at least average intuition. While the "mystery" here might be a little underwhelming, the writing is compelling and there's a lot to dig in to.
Were you worried we would be too focused and wouldn't go on any tangents during this podcast arc? Fear not! In addition to talking Holmes we've got plenty of climate politics talk and poking fun at...
2023-09-041h 55House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 53: House of House Gaiden Episode 2: Home of Holmes Episode 1The SAG AFTRA strike continues so House of House Gaiden continues as well!
This episode we're joined by Holmes Sara Ghaleb to quiz us on our Sherlock Holmes knowledge. Will Lenny's generally superior pop culture knowledge pay off or will Andrew dominate through his willingness to shameless employ Price is Right min maxing strategies? Play along and find out!
And join us for the next episode, where we'll be discussing early Holmes tale "A Scandal in Bohemia!"
2023-08-211h 37House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 52: House of House Gaiden Episode 1Normally this show implicit encourages you to watch a struck work. Not during the SAG AFTRA strike though! It's House of House: Gaiden time!
Don't like it? Tell the studio execs to come to the table and open their pockets. In the mean time we've still got tons of fun stuff!
Like today, we've got the real life shipping report and a House Cast Quiz! It's fun, it's funny, and you just might learn something. Listen in!

Michael Chau returns for the start of the Tritter Arc and also Phil of the Future of Incest (spoilers!)
We finally dive into some House fanfic and frankly I'm surprised it took us this long. Is there a long part two thirds of the way through where we just list off some great King of the Hill moments? HOO YEAH...
2023-07-241h 16House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 50: "Lines in the Sand" with Gita JacksonSo the patient this week is a nonverbal autistic boy. Is it a good portrayal? Ehhhhh it could be worse? A teenager flirts with House again.
Journalist Gita Jackson joins us to examine the highs and lows and ask the real questions like:
Where are all the movies where old ladies have sex?
We also take a deep dive into the Frogger PSP game, learn all the different possible explanations of what a line in the sand can be, dunk on some Twitter teens...
2023-07-101h 49House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 49: "Informed Consent" with Seth FinkelsteinPaging Dr. Joker! House is faced with his true greatest opponent, and old guy who just wants to die.
Seth Finkelstein joins us for a very special episode where the whole team ponders the ethics of medically assisted suicide. Well, most of the team ponders, Chase just starts watering at the mouth,
We've also got one of the most uhhh problematic b-plots we've had in a while. Leighton Meester is here, and she is playing a teenager who wants to... get in the House if you know what we mean.
2023-06-261h 32House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 48: "Cane and Able" with Dan WilburOK, there's still some more of the nonsense with Wilson lying to House, but it's over by the end of the episode. And the stuff that isn't that? It's aliens and tiny Skyler Gisondo! Neat!
Dan Wilbur returns to the House as the House team needs to figure out why little Sky thinks aliens are abducting him and we wonder why no one takes this kid to a therapist. We also dig into Succession Twitter discourse, Breaking Bad opinions, and even a little Quantum Physics.
It's chock full of...
2023-06-121h 38House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 47: "Meaning" with Jon ButterWe dive into season 3 of House and the water is... weird.
We continue our run of guests who have never watched House before with Jon Butter! In this case it's two normal episodes packed into one episode but they act like it's totally different. House's leg doesn't hurt, which means he's being super nice except he's acting the same and everyone else just says he's being nice? But everyone else is acting totally out of character? Is this still a coma dream?
We're a bit harsh but it's deserved...
2023-05-291h 17House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 46: "No Reason" With Patrick WillemsIt's the season 2 finale and we're joined by Patrick Willems watching his first ever episode of House.
And what an introduction! It's got an exploding testicle, super fake blood, and oh yeah, House getting shot by his brilliant nemesis, Moriarty! Or does it!? Perhaps things aren't as they seem???
We dive deep into analysis to make sense of what we see. You'll also get a tease of Guardians Vol 3 opinions, a knock-off Box Office Game, and more!
2023-05-151h 22House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 45: "Who's Your Daddy" with Alex FossellaThis episode has the distinction of being TGFL: Too Gross for Lenny.
While Lenny dropped in for a Shipping Report, comedian, writer, and House expert Alex Fossella stepped in as a guest cohost to analyze an episode where a lady poops out of her mouth. Content warning for someone pooping out of their mouth.
It's also got House's face melting off. Creepy stuff! We have fun digging into this odd ep and there's even enough time for deep ethical discussions, roasting the 613 Mitzvot, and more!
2023-05-011h 23House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 44: "Forever" with Bill SchaeferHouse continues to be in its Bonkers Era and we are here for it. Comedian Bill Schaefer joins us for the world tale of two recovering alcoholics who are doing everything they can to kill their baby.
Yeah, content warning for discussions of baby death, if you're not a fan of that. Also discussed is politics, the Apatow-verse, and how amazing "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" is.
While the main story is a bit of a bummer, we also have a whole bunch of cute Cuddy/House/Wilson quasi-romance...

Not only do we find out what happens to Foreman (he has the terrible fate of mixing up left and right a couple times) but we learn all about Jocelyn Elders and Cuddy gets a visit from the fashion police.
Plus you get both tipping AND Oscar discourse and we wonder why Omar Epps has never gotten the proper recognition he deserves.
There's a little bit of weird audio synching at a couple points but I did my...
2023-04-031h 22House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 42: "Euphoria Part 1"We're officially in the golden age of House. When a cop comes in with Joker disease, it's up to House and the team to diagnose him, but instead Foreman also catches it and the cop gets banished to the pain dimension and it all ends on a big cliff hanger.
Friend of the show Katie Wright (Brett Easton Hell Yes podcast) returns to tell us all about her buddy who stars as the cop and House shoots a corpse. There's just so much to unpack, and unpack it we do.
But before we can finish...
2023-03-201h 16House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 41: "House vs. God" with Alexa FeeneyStrap in Cuddy Buddies, cause we've got another season 2 classic on our hands. When a little Christian Ben Shapiro gets sick, it's up to House to prove that God isn't real, and also maybe cure the patient if he has the time.
Filmmaker Alexa Feeney joins us to answer the deep questions, like how broken does your microwave have to be to turn you into The Hulk and also if you meet Dr. House at the bus station and he tells you to come to his poker game, what does he really mean? Also did Wilson just...
2023-03-061h 19House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 40: "Sleeping Dogs Lie" with Kacie TergesenThis episode presents an ethical conundrum for the ages: is it OK to take a piece of your partner's liver if you're planning to break up with them but also that partner is a controlling megalomanic?
Kacie Tergesen, writer and co-creator of Sound Snackz (Soundcloud.com/soundsnackz), joins us for her first episode of House and it's a big one. There's a lesbian in a mid-2000s Fox Network sitcom and... it's just treated like a normal thing? Also, she has The Plague! Spoilers!
Plus, we learn a little bit about the science of sleep (t...
2023-02-201h 34House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 39: "All In" with Rachel S. BernsteinJust like House, this episode comes with a cold open and it might just have a hint for mystery later in the episode!
Rachel S. Bernstein of the Channing Salon podcast joins us for an episode where House meets an old nemesis: a disease that killed an old lady years before the show started. Except now it's affecting a kid played by Russiagate mini-boss Carter Page and also everyone is dressed all pretty because there's a casino fundraiser going on. Sorry patients, but there are only like 5 doctors at Princeton Plainsboro on a good...
2023-02-061h 31House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 38: "Safe"It's the famous vagina tick episode! Obviously we needed time to dig in to the ramifications here, so it's just Lenny and me on this one. We got an overprotective mom, himbo boyfriend and Michelle Trachtenberg. And that's before you even dig into House and Wilson's psychosexual games.
There's a lot to talk about!
We also spend probably too much time evaluating each of the 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter. Apologies in advance for some weird noises on my audio. I'll try to figure out what that was so it isn't there next t...
2023-01-231h 10House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 37: "Clueless" with Sara GhalebSorry my voice sounds bad, I'm sick! Looks like I need to visit Doctor House!
Anyway, House and Holmes expert Sara Ghaleb returns for this episode where House just gets to straight up solve an attempted murder cause why not? Also there's lots of messy drama with his new roommate Wilson and House gets to be the King Solomon of Herpes. What does that mean? Listen and find out!
Plus the patient is kinky and we only talk about Ben Shapiro's Twitter review of Glass Onion a little bit, I promise.
2023-01-091h 20House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 36: "Sex Kills" with Lawson LeongWhat if there was a dad that looked like a grandpa? Would Andrew get confused? You'll have to listen to find out!
Comedian and podcaster Lawson Leong (Ballin' Out Super, Talkin' Naruto Shippuden) joins us for an episode that asks the question "does sex kill" and provides an answer different than you might expect. We've got deadly cheese, the most tortured reference to bowling shoes you've ever heard, and Yvette Nicole Brown guest starring as the worst organ management person in history.
And don't worry, we manage to talk about both abortion and The Eternals a...
2022-12-261h 27House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 35: "Skin Deep" with Valerie KeatonValerie Keaton returns to join us for an episode that is as wild as it is mid-2000s. And by "mid-2000s" I mean content warning for transphobia and dad/daughter uhhhhhh relations.
Yes, it's the one with the teenage model who House constantly talks about wanting to bang. It truly is the era of the Olsen Twins countdown clock, folks.
House is also in a bunch of pain, but we barely have time for that. There's a lot to unpack in this episode and we still make time for talking about the midterms which...
2022-12-121h 49House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 34: "Distractions"A duo episode?! That's right! It's just Lenny and me this week, but worry not because this episode is so bonkers, it gives us more than enough to talk about. And if you think about it, doesn't this make YOU, the listener, our guest for the week?
It's got pretty much everything you could ask for, from a kid being engulfed in a comedic ATV explosion to House injecting himself with headache juice. It's practically a Halloween episode with lots of gore, maggots, and a spoooooky misunderstanding of the basics of pharmaceutical trials....OOOOHHHHHH
And...
2022-11-281h 18House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 33: "Need to Know" with Alex PtakReturning favorite Alex Peak joins us for an episode about spaghetti arms, bad relationships, and Elle Fanning.
What would you do if your football-loving husband wanted another kid and you didn't? Have a conversation about it? Well that's one way to go but it's the opposite of what this week's patient chose!
We're starting to enter the age of Bonkers House, which pretty much lasts for the rest of the series in one way or another. Fun times to be a Cuddy Buddy indeed! We also discuss Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, medical ganja, and and...
2022-11-141h 13House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 32: "Failure to Communicate" with Casey James Salengo"Cheese hear this bepisode!"
That's what it might sound like if we got the kind of aphasia this week's patient finds himself with. Comedian extraordinaire Casey James Salengo joins us to look at a top-tier episode. It's got everything you could want: an unusual disease that requires knowledge of riddles to solve, House in an airport, Wilson being a messy b who lives for drama and so much more!
We also discuss the cringiest TV moments of the last twenty years and there may be some discussions on inopportune times to get the tummy troubles. P...

Or is she?! I guess you'll just have to listen to the episode to find out. Kev Koeser joins us for an episode that... well, we have mixed feelings. Cameron is a jerk, House can't handle Foreman being his boss, and Chase is also there.
Anyway, this is a super fun episode with an acceptable amount of technical issues. We also get to dive into Mulaney/Try Guy/Twitter discourse and the return of "Je...
2022-10-171h 33House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 30: "Mistake" with Jack AllisonIt's an episode with a non-traditional narrative format so you know what that means!
It's the return of Struggle Session's Jack Allison!
The "twist" of this episode isn't nearly as as interesting as the last time they did a mystery flashback episode, but that's alright cause the episode of THIS PODCAST is a hoot! We talk about the 2016 presidential debates (in a fun way I promise) as well as the state of Twitter movie discourse and don't get too excited, but we even talk about nudity on streaming services.
It's a jam packed e...

Comedian Matt Storrs joins us to dig into an episode where House finally crosses the line... well, crosses it more than he previously had. He's stealing private medical files and slamming sweaty red men with his cane, folks!
It also features the introduction of "Dark Cameron," the vampire doctor who does drugs! Plus do you know which right wing propagandist appeared on King of Queens? The answer may surprise you!

Joining us was comedian and cyclist Alison Klemp. We got to see the universe orient itself specifically to prove Cameron wrong, House act like a jerk to his ex-wife's new husband, Taraji P. Henson, and more!

This is an episode that starts with the standard House shuffle and then goes off in some fun, weird directions including an in-office finance bro penis fungus infection, House's parents, and the world's worst most dangerous keychain.
But before we get to any of that there's a whole lot of tangents. Sorry! My fault, mostly! But if you wanted to hear an extended discussion about what...

We finally get to see someone with a libido show up and try to do socialized medicine by refusing tuberculosis treatment. Meanwhile Chase judges Cameron's crush on an adult as though he didn't kiss a child two weeks ago. Plus we dig into the American Pie movies and...

Katie Wright joins us to look at an episode that wants to dig into to race and class relations and quickly finds itself facedown in the dirt. A guy Cuddy hired to work on her roof falls off the ladder after trying to tell her he felt too sick to keep going. She feels guilty about it and rightly so, which is why she offers to cover all of his treatment and support his family.
Just kidding! She scowls and huffs for 45 minutes. They also take a few...

It's the one where Randall Park circumcises himself and that's only the fifth craziest thing to happen. Writer, comedian, and co-host of "The Worst of All Possible Worlds" podcast AJ Ditty joins us to unpack a simply wild episode that would be illegal to make today?
An 8-year-old girl has can cancer. She is very brave which House assumes must be a symptom. Things pretty much go downhill for her from there. We've got experimental treatments, wildly inappropriate r...

It's got everything! Ethical dilemmas, LL Cool J doing a pretty good job, Cameron being a pathological narcissist, and somehow Chase gets to be the most reasonable member of the team this week?!
Plus we learn about gummer lore, goof on the Google fancy man who fell in love with a chatbot, and have more spoofs and goofs than you can imagine...

This is a wild episode in which House commits more felonies than ever before! Yes, House's ex-wife returns to goad House into doing medical sadism on her husband and America couldn't get enough!
We also discuss Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Ozark, and the discourse wasp hive that is streaming television. The stakes are higher than ever and quite frankly you can't afford NOT to listen to this episode!
2022-06-1352 minHouse of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 21: "Three Stories" with Jack AllisonStruggle Session's Jack Allison joins us to take a look at the Emmy and Humanitas Award winning episode "Three Stories."
We learn about how House's leg got messed up while the three most annoying medical students in his lecture ask him questions. Plus, great Game of Thrones discourse, great prestige TV discourse, and we find out all about a 2005 medical drama set in a fertility clinic that didn't even make it more than seven episodes.
But that's not all! We talk about the worst possible chronological watch, where you can see Julia Loius-Dreyfus and much...

Not really because it's one of those epidemics that's located to a single hospital, apparently. Comedian, writer, and documentarian Mike Fallek joins us to find out about the one girl who WASN'T affected by the plague and wouldn't you know it, that's exactly the one House is interested in!
As is the case whenever there's a less than great House episode we still manage to offer you a fantastic House of House episode! We learn Trump's opinion on Yoda in Soulcalibur 4, have some all time...

Along the way we see some parents arrested for being vegan and learn whether being unable to swallow is a big deal or not.

Katie Wright returns to look at an episode that dares ask the question "could a black person who lied about having epilepsy and has very few discernible political beliefs become president?" We get close to hearing some 2005 AIDS discourse but thankfully it's mostly averted and House nearly murders a senator. Also Cameron quits but we barely notice.
While there may not be too many real politics to talk about, it doesn't stop us from dipping into many controversial topics like Aiden Gillen's accent in "The Wire" or Aiden G...

There's a ten year-old who has a condition that makes her overweight and Chase seems absolutely certain this child is going to hell for it and that she deserves it as well.
Jane Cripe returns to help us digest a truly wild episode. There's a lot of silly nonsense and we have a lot of fun goofing on it, but it's definitely tough to fully get past the weirdness that is one Australian's mission to make a child hate herself. So content...

The hilarious Rachel Jane Andelman joined us to discuss the gabagooliest House episode yet. What if you were a mobster and your brother was sick and the only way to save him was to accept that he's gay? Marone, that's a spicy meatball! While the House episode we're discussing was little weighed down with a lot of Vogler stuff and tea, drama, there was more than enough good stuff to pack a podcast episode fuller than your tummy after eating three servings of momma's manicotti.

In fact, there was so much to look at, we didn't even get to the tropes themselves this time! But we did read someone who was trying way too hard to intellectualize Roman's fetishes, play a game of "Does Your Mileage May Vary" and so much more!

Of course this is only half of the story. We're also introduced to Vogler, House's first arc villain who my dog Reggie does not like at all. Just listen to him yell when Vogler's name is spoken aloud.

2022-02-211h 31House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 13: "Cursed" with Jonathan BraylockAre curses real, or just superstition?
That's not the question this House episode asks, despite the title and introduction suggesting otherwise. We're joined by Jonathan Braylock of "Astronomy Club" on Netflix and the "Black Men Can't Jump In Hollywood" podcast for a very special episode where we meet a kid with leprosy and also Chase's dad.
We wonder why a person would lie about spending two years in India and if House will ever have the opportunity to bang Chase's dad. Plus we learn about Dr. Vegas and spend far too long digging into the...

Take that, Leni! In reality, we spend a lot of time talking about stuff that is not the TV Tropes page for Triumph of the Will including the history of film, bad online discourse, and so much more! It's the longest episode yet .
I think at least. I didn't check even though it would be easy to do so...

Along the way we learn about the great legacy of the late Art LaFleur, find out whether dudes rock vis a vis monster trucks, and speculate about what size of testicles is a "problem size." Also if you're into the idea of Dr. House getting pee on his we've got some great news for you!
And is there a discussion over some of the of the most collar tugging stuff in sitcoms? Yes there is plus much much more...
2022-01-241h 28House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 11: "Detox" with Eitan LevineComedian Eitan Levine joins us to discuss a House episode and share his controversial views that "they" don't want you to hear! This is a wild episode and we have fun learning that going off Vicodin apparently gives House psychic powers (?) and that your boyfriend's dad might get a little upset if you take his car for a joyride into oncoming traffic.
We also analyze yet another picture of George Costanza for its hotness value. All this and much much more! 2022 shall be the year of House of House and the sooner you get on board, the b...

And this was a very special episode because not only is it the first one of 2022 but I also recorded it while recovering from the hottest COVID variant, the big O, baby!
We also do a deep dive into a TV tropes forum thread about Jeffrey Epstein that yields nothing interesting, say the words "badass" a lot, have a discourse on a different...
2022-01-041h 11House of House: A House Rewatch PodcastHouse of House Episode 10: "Histories" with Sara GhalebSara Ghaleb, of Arden and the first episode of House of House fame, becomes our first returning guest. A homeless woman is brought to the ER after getting tackled by the police during a rave. The cast try to interpret messages she has written in in self-published comic books. What could they mean? That the writer watched "Unbreakable" on DVD the night before their draft was due? Maybe! We dive into that mystery as well as other mysteries, like why Foreman hates homeless people so much the secret symbolism behind House's turtle neck. Lenny is required to judge another...

Look, despite all the promise that comes with the idea of a sick trumpet player we didn't have too much to say about this episode. Thankfully we had a lot of other stuff to say. Learn whether George Costanza is hotter with or without a toupee, Megan Mullally's talk show, and hear a bunch of Boss Baby memes described to you. And don't forget, Lenny knew that Tom and Logan would bang on...
2021-12-131h 41TV Nopes PodcastThe "Sopranos TV Tropes Page" with Anders LeeMany words have been written about the generation-defining masterpiece that is "The Sopranos." Comedian Anders Lee of Redacted Tonight and Pod Damn America has joined me once again to discuss some of the silliest of those words. From theories about what really happened in the finale to people who are baffled by the basic concepts of narrative editing, we address them all!
Or we at least address some of them. Listen in and have some laughs while being reassured that whatever bad takes about The Sopranos you might have, there are people out there with worse ones.

Alex Ptak (Pod Damn America, Ballin' Out Super, Theater of Delights, Crunch Time Talk Show) joined us to dive into these and other deep questions. Listen as we paint fantastic word pictures about a sexy nursing home and the bitter dean who looks over it. Hear us assign Jojo stands to each of the primary cast members.

The House episode is actually pretty fun too though, it's got a genuine cuck, what else do you need? Katie Wright of the Bret Easton Hell Yes podcast and living in the same house as Lenny fame joins us to find out whether someone would rather tell their doctor that they were unfaithful or die. We also touch on our usual subjects, including actors with "USA Network face" and a Billions update you have to hear to believe.

In a rare departure for the podcast, I ramble about Twitter nonsense for too long at the beginning and then we get sidetracked by something else. However, that something else is a quick survey of the ways that clickbait writers have tried to shoehorn Squid Game into every possible headline they can, and...

We're joined by Zack Handlen, who covered the late (read: bad) episodes of House for the AV Club to evaluate this early but also maybe not so great episode of House. While we get some tender House and a great prank on some fuddy duddy surgeon, this might not be the best example of the series.
However, this is a great House of House episode, so you...

EJ Feddes joins us to discuss this episode where House, maybe, injects a nun with the wrong syringe and then things go downhill from there. It's also a Christmas episode, sort of? We discuss proper syringe placement, whether God is or is not a big man with a beard who lives on a cloud, Showtime series Billions, Showtime series Billions again, and more!

Turns out the second half didn't have that much going for it though, so instead we mostly read tons of wholesome comments left under Gafield comic strips over the last decade. Just trust me when I say it's funny and will also brighten your day.
And yes, to answer your next question, we do read all of the comments left under the infamous "Jon drinks dog cum" strip.

Well good news, because this week's House episode deals with a baby epidemic. And no, not an epidemic of babies but rather a mysterious disease that's spreading throughout the maternity ward of the hospital. Or is it?!
It is. Comedian Dan Wilbur joins us to discuss whether a baby epidemic is a good time to flirt, the right way to let parents know you're sacrificing their baby for the greater good, the solution to the trolley problem, and much much more!

This episode of House of House explores an episode that asks that precise question. We're joined by Jane Cripe (@JaneCripe), creator of our wonderful cover art, to learn about the wrong way to enter a clean room, how not to set up a romantic relationship, and which MP3 player you'd be most likely to shove up your butt in 2004.

Well what if there was a TV Tropes page that was just that? There is, and it's the "Real Life" TV Tropes page. Comedian, friend, and cohost of Pod Damn America and Ballin' Out Super and creator of Theater of Delights joins me for the first part of a 26 part series. Not sure what TV Tropes even is?

When a lacrosse player is brought in with double vision and night terrors, it's up to Gregory House to... start a bet about whether the kid is adopted or not. Will House win his bet? Were all Jews told that eating pork would give them a tapeworm? Did Hana's cat pull her router out of the wall part way through the recording?
The answer to all these question and more will be revealed when you cross the threshold of... The House...

Lenny Burnham, friend, writer, and co-host of the new House of House podcast (with me!) returns as well. We learn that Detective Crashmore is the new Skelletrex, which sketch endings TV Tropers think are worth spoiler tagging, and we try and settle a Twitter mystery that is already a month OLD at this point.
That's a pun, but you'll only...

2021-08-231h 51TV Nopes PodcastThe "Ambiguously Jewish" TV Tropes page with Brandon Scott WolfTV Tropes has pages for both media properties and, approriately, "tropes." TV Nopes has only covered media pages that shouldn't exist... until now. Friend and comedian Brandon Scott Wolf, of the the very first TV Nopes episode, returns to the show for our first episode on a trope page that shouldn't exist, specifically the "Ambiguously Jewish" tropes page. Because apparently all it takes to make a "Jewish Tropes" page acceptable is the word "ambiguously" in front of it. We read a lot of casually anti-semitic stuff, but that's only the start of the fun! We also "work blue" with...
2021-08-101h 39TV Nopes PodcastThe "Mein Kampf" TV Tropes page with Dan WilburWell, it was only a matter of time. When you think of "TV Tropes pages that shouldn't exist" you probably think "what are you talking about?"
But assuming you understand the concept of the podcast, Mein Kampf would probably rank up there. While it's not a long TV Tropes page, comedian, author, and friend Dan Wilbur joined me for the longest episode yet. Topics covered include German history, politics, PC culture, and the best way to read Mein Kampf on the subway, if you feel the need to do that for some reason.
2021-07-271h 28TV Nopes PodcastThe "Greg Gutfeld Show" and "Louder With Crowder" TV Tropes pages with Anders LeeHere at TV Nopes we cover TV Tropes pages that shouldn't exist. For the first time, however, the TV Tropes editors agreed, as the "Louder With Crowder" page was deleted before we could record the episode. Comedian and activist Anders Lee (Redacted Tonight, Pod Damn America) and I dove into the Wayback Machine to find out why the TV Tropes page for "Louder With Crowder" was deleted. Spoiler alert: it's cause the show seems to be pretty racist! Before that, however, we looked at the "Greg Gutfeld Show" TV Tropes page for a significantly less racist appetizer. Did Greg...
2021-07-131h 17TV Nopes PodcastThe "Garfield (comic strip)" TV Tropes Page with Hana Michels Part 1Friend and comedian Hana Michels joined me to look at the TV Tropes page for the Garfield comic strip, a page that probably shouldn't exist because the Garfield newspaper comic strip doesn't really have much structured plot. And yet, for some reason, it has so many tropes that we decided to split it into 2 parts. Among the topics covered are alien prudes, 9/11 comic strips, and Ben Shapiro getting mad about a lack of animal genitals in kid's cartoons.
2021-06-291h 19TV Nopes PodcastThe "I Think You Should Leave" TV Tropes page with Lenny BurnhamWouldn't it be neat if this releases right as they announce when I Think You Should Leave Season 2 Is?
Anyway, some TV Tropes pages shouldn't exist because the material they're trying to cover is too sensitive for the format. Other TV Tropes pages shouldn't exist because the media they're covering isn't really the sort of narrative that can be analyzed in the TVT style. The TV Tropes page for I Think You Should Leave is the latter. Friend and writer Lenny Burnham (Arden Podcast) joins me to see a bunch of oddballs misunderstand the point of comedy...
2021-06-151h 25TV Nopes PodcastThe "12 Years a Slave" TV Tropes Page with Alex PtakOf all the TV Tropes pages we've covered that shouldn't exist, this one is the one that should exist the least so far. Steve McQueen's Oscar-winning adaption of Solon Northup's memoir of being kidnapped into slavery is a brutal magnum opus that refuses to gloss over the horrors of American slavery. So of course, some TV Tropers documented every single way that the slavemasters are like anime school girls. I wish I was kidding. Joining me is comedian and podcaster Alex Ptak (Pod Damn America, Ballin' Out Super, Theater of Delights). We try, and fail, to understand the kind...
2021-06-011h 28TV Nopes PodcastThe "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" TV Tropes Page with James Fisher Jr.So far the TV Tropes pages that shouldn't exist that this podcast has covered shouldn't exist for sensitivity reasons. So it's time for a lighthearted frolic through a page that shouldn't exist because the story it covers is around 2 minutes long. I'm joined by comedian and friend James Fisher Jr. as we discuss bears' rights to defend their home, whether Goldilocks was the first Karen, strong opinions from Reggie the Dog, and the downside of lying about your age so that you can go fight in World War Two.
2021-05-181h 19TV Nopes PodcastThe "Black Fish" TV Tropes Page with Jenny JaffeI'm joined by brilliant comedy writer and friend Jenny Jaffe as we look at the TV Tropes page for "Black Fish." Many people would say that a documentary about an abused killer whale who murdered his trainers doesn't need to be analyzed as though it were a Marvel movie, and yet... here we are. We learn about the cinematic universe of Black Fish, speculate about the inevitable action-packed sequel, and spend way too long trying to understand what it means when a story "undergoes Cerberus Syndrome cauing a character to lose their Joker Immunity."
2021-05-0456 minTV Nopes PodcastThe "Parasite" TV Tropes Page with Brandon Scott WolfFor the premier episode, I'm joined by comedian, friend, and Will Smith social media consigliere Brandon Scott Wolf (@BrandonEsWolf)! Bong Joon-ho's tragicomic weath-inequality thriller fantasia was the first foreign film to win the Best Picture Oscar. There's no reason it should have a TV Tropes page, and yet it does. Together we learn about Bong Joon-ho's application of the "Batman Gambit," the plot holes TV Tropers seem to think the movie has, JK Rowling's feelings about Jewish wizards, and so much more!
