House of House: A House Rewatch Podcast

House of House regular Sara Ghaleb is subbing in for Lenny this episode along with guest Bill Schaeffer!

We talk all about football, prank wars, coffee on screen, going to the dermatologist, and so much more in an episode that has the exact right amount of technical difficulties and twice the right amount of laughs! Good times abound!

Also if you're in the New York area, come to "A Great Comedy Show Taping" at Easy Lover (790 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn) on August 19th at 8:30! Bill and I plus other great comedians are taping some of our best stuff. Be there to have your laughs immortalized on tape!

The Dynamic Duo is back to cover an episode about the remorse House feels about messing with Cuddy and an old classmate and the remorse a patient doesn't feel because she's a sociopath.

Thirteen has a major issue with that, by the way and we try to find out why! Speaking of Thirteen, we also touch on some of Olivia Wilde's other recent accomplishments, celebrity aging, and so much more!

Can an undercover cop and the drug dealer he's trying to bus fall in love? Well, at least one of them can.

Comedian, writer, and game designer David Piccolomini joins us for an episode with a lot to love and a lot to say "eh" about and we say it all.

We also cover topics ranging from the "biggest" kids movie of 2021 to Ye's most tolerant tweet and everything in between!

This episode asks the question "what if the show was about Wilson?"

And the answer is, that would be kind of neat, but less so because Wilson has a friend who is a jerk and it's not who you're thinking! Sara Ghaleb returns for an episode all about our favorite guy played by Robert Sean Leonard (sorry, kid from Dead Poets' Society).

We also learn about livers and the bigotry of internet routers outside of June. Listen in Wilson Wackos (that's a positive descriptor of Wilson fans).

Regular guest and House MD PHD returns for an episode that asks: is ignorance bliss?

Well, maybe if you're constantly robo-tripping. There's a decent amount of House/Cuddy/Lucas nonsense but there's also some fun shenanigans with the team and we dive into slightly more of Peter Jacobson's career and ponder a different question: how high must you be to ethically hook up with different varieties of monkey?

Alex Kennedy returns to the House to talk about an episode where the patient is an adult film performer, which you think would be more interesting than it is!

Well at least we have fun and you will too if you listen to the episode.

We definitely enjoy discussing all the ways an episode with this premise could have been better!

We once again welcome Valerie Keaton for a fun and goofy episode! We get camp vacation antics with House, Wilson, and Cuddy at a medical conference plus a patient who can only lie. It's a great follow up to that earlier patient who can only tell the truth.

Other topics we touch on include the metauniverse of media in movies and TV, an op-ed someone wrote in the House wiki for some reason, construction site etiquette, and so much more!

Ellie Warren returns for a rough one. We've got angsty Chase, irrational House, and a deadbeat dad with a death wish.

They're not sending their best, folks, but don't worry, we dive deep into as well as modern ethical discourse (typical), a pill that makes you shoot nothing, and shower peeing plus so much more!

Can you have riches and a son? This House episode posits: no.

We've also got the fallout from the Dibala debacle, discourse about talking to your Uber driver, and an exciting new spin-off idea.

Also, will 13 get to go to Thailand?! I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

Katie Wright returns to cover the episode we've all been waiting for: the rise and fall of Dibala! Yes, the late great James Earl Jones steals the show as the dictator of... let's say "Shmuganda"... causing Chase to have to make some tough decisions.

Meanwhile we have some delightful miming from House and Foreman is the worst boyfriend ever. There are also some updates from my trip to Japan and important information if you have too much curvature down there. Listen now! It's important!

Wow, mid 2000s network show video game episodes, am I right?

House isn't quite back with the team but he will be soon. In the meantime we've got a real jerk developing a video game and trying to use some Malcolm Gladwell "Wisdom of Crowds" stuff to do it.

Also the video game looks amazing. Fox spent some real cash on this one. We also weigh on the current (well, at time of recording) Chalamet discourse plus we speedrun our Oscar predictions... at time of recording!

Did we get it right? Listen and find out!

Get ready for part two of the Season 6 premier! Writer, friend of the pod, and friend of the hosts Kacie Tergesen (Girl in Trouble Stories, Sound Snackz) returns to weigh in on whether this two parter sticks in the landing in one of our most focused episodes yet!

We open up a can of laughs while analyzing the worst mental institution in New Jersey with RELATIVELY FEW diversions, minus some thoughts on airplane movies.

LISTEN NOW!

Ellie Warren returns to kick of season 6 with a bonkers episode. House is trapped (?) in a psych institution with Andre Braugher (RIP).

Will he trick the patients and doctors into giving him everything he wants? You'll have to listen to find out.

And of course we go pretty bonkers ourselves with an episode that features voices of both the Lin Manuel and Trump varieties, as well as topics ranging from E*stein to Marty Supreme and everything in between!

It's the season 5 finale and we're bringing in an expert: Dr. Elizabeth Zharovsky of EZ Psychiatry!

And it's a good thing she's here because this episode has all sorts of mind-based shenanigans from House hallucinations to a guy with an evil hand.

We've also got the conclusion of Sperm Wars plus Carl Reiner appearing as an old Jewish man, but I repeat myself.

Well, this is certainly an episode!

Entertainment journalist and cohost of the "Love In The Time of Hydra" and "Phase Hero" podcasts Jamie Jirak joins us to cover one of the first House episodes she's ever seen and... well it is indeed an episode as I said before.

House is still seeing psychic ghosts, a ballet dancer's skin falls off, Chase and Cameron fight about sperm, and it all ends with the big Cuddy kiss.

Look, the cracks are starting to show this far into season 5... but this podcast episode is still delivering the high quality listening you've come to expect (with a couple audio issues which you might also expect, sorry I did my best to fix them)!

Well, a LOT happens in this episode of House.

If you want to know the specifics then listen to our episode about it, but here are some things you'll get to hear about:

-Psychic Insomnia Demons

-Tasty Alcoholic Ice Cream

-A Bachelor Party That Seems Super Fun Until The Attempted Murder

And that's just the B plot!

It's the first House of House of the New Year and we're joined by comedian and painter David Phillips (@dphillypaints on Instagram).

The team is still dealing with the fallout of Kal Penn's sudden departure, and also Cameron is being weird! Plus Wilson's eating healthy and there's a deadbeat dad environmentalist?

Yes, it's all true! Listen and learn plus a brief quiz round of "who is the famous actor in an AppleTV show you haven't heard of.

Yep, this is a big one and comedian and fan favorite Bill Schaefer is back on the show to go over it with us. Kal Penn was called up to the White House and that means Kutner had to die in a very sudden way.

On that note, this episode comes with a big warning for suicide and self-harm. We have a lot of fun going over one of the most famous House episodes, but if you can't handle flippant talk about that heavy subject this is one to skip.

We also talk about what Sea World is up to, what Meatloaf won't do for love, and so much more!

This is the one where Mos Def is totally paralyzed and has to narrate the whole episode. Or, most of it.

It's a classic, and yet I was a little out of it when I watched it for reasons I mention in the episode so take my review with an asterisk if you need it.

We've also got alimony talk, Heroes reminisces, and so much more!

Can a cat predict your death? Is Taub going to be scammed? Does WikiFeet have any integrity left?

These are just some of the questions we're looking to answer with the return of Ellie Warren, social media and marketing manager for the Filthy MILFs podcast.

That cat may not be psychic, but it can feel increases in body heat, and isn't that really the same thing?

Wait, is this that Mark Zuckerberg movie David Fincher directed?

No! It's the House episode with a guy who gets brain damage and loses all inhibition control putting him in a sort of Liar, Liar/Invention of Lying Scenario AKA he acts the way House does anyway.

Lenny is out, but all star Cuddy Buddy and comedian Alex Kennedy returns, and you know what they say, when Lenny is away, the tangents will play.

We get deep into this episode, including Wilson's emotional scavenger hunt for House, but also dive into gender politics, Israel/Palestine, and Ricky Gervais, the trifecta of hot button issues.

House is on methadone and it seems... fine? Or is it the worst thing ever because he is too nice to an intersex patient's parents?

Listen now and find out. There's only one slur... in the episode of House, we don't say any slurs on the podcast. But we do mention a gross ad I saw while watching the episode.

Comedian Angela Sawyer joins us for the tale of a priest who has lost his faith forever... or has he?!

There's a lot to dig into here and we even have time for all manner of philosophical questions concerning disgraced football coaches and people sharing their violent fantasies online.

Also you'll learn who made the most money off the lesbian gold rush. What's that? Listen and find out!

What's more important, taking cooking classes or curing cancer? That's what this episode asks, sort of.

We also get prankster Cuddy and a conclusion to one of the worst House plot lines we've had so far.

Which one is it? I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

Do you want a coherent House episode? Well then this might not be the episode for you.

But do you want a heartwarming story about a mother learning to connect with her baby? Well, then this probably isn't the one for you either.

But if you wanted to see a woman with her brain popping out of the top of her head like a Halloween decoration getting annoyed at a baby on speakerphone, well then good news!

Regardless of what you want, you'll want to listen to this episode cause we'll break it all down for you!

So this episode is about a kid who is bad at hockey and his dad who tries to... do I have to say unalive himself if I don't want to be punished by the algorithm?

Anyway the patient and his family are sympathetic but between Kutner and Taub having the most half-hearted debate of all time, Thirteen and Foreman starting a relationship with surprisingly little chemistry given how hot they each are, and House dealing with some unrelated leaky pipes this isn't an all-star House but as always the House of House episode about the episode is worth listening to!

Oh, also Cuddy needs to get her house ready before the adoption inspector comes over! We're in sitcom land folks, so buckle up and enjoy.

This is a big eventful episode with abandoned babies, manipulative romances, virgin birth hoaxes, and high school drama. Who better to help us tackle it than retuning favorite Katie Wright?!

Listen now to hear our takes on relationships, sex ed, and what it would be like to give birth to either the son of God or a tiny Ben Affleck.

Power couple Dan McCoy (The Flophouse Podcast) and Audrey Lazaro (House and Holmes expert) join us as House dives into 2000s dieting and exercised discourse with... mixed results.

There's also a B plot with House and Cuddy rom-com antics, a C plot with buddy comedy antics, and a D plot we forgot about.

Plus British detective show talk, behind the scenes peeks from the Daily Show intern days circa 2013, and a whole lot more!

There are guest stars aplenty for this episode where a guy takes House hostage in order to force him to make a diagnosis, yet doesn't doesn't sing any Papa Roach at all despite the episode title.

House seems weirdly chill and Thirteen learns she doesn't want to die but in the meantime everyone gets injected with stuff.

Avon Barksdale from The Wire shows up to tease Cuddy about her relationship in between hostage negotiating and we have a new edition of Law and Order SVU: Before they Were Woke pus an apology to Rob Delaney.

Enjoy!

There are a couple sound issues on this one, but we just did that to try to match the quality of this House episode which is... not great.

Our guest, comedian and writer Alex Kennedy is great though! So listen for our thoughts on a weird episode with some really weird takes on abuse but don't worry the abuse is fake anyway!

We've also got Mountainhead corner and a whole lot of talk about social media slop.

It's a fun pod so listen now!

Lenny returns to discuss the fallout of the House/Cuddy kiss and also a House episode with one of the worst takes on mental illness which is really saying something.

The patient is agoraphobic but (spoiler alert) they learn to get over it though the magic of deliberate physical and psychological torture.

We also discuss the ethics of doing a bit using the RFK Jr voice. Or I guess I do that and Lenny tolerated it.

Anyway, enjoy this great House of House episode about a sub par House MD episode.

Lenny is out this week, so writer, longtime associate, and fellow loud Jew Mike Blejer joins me to dig into a major episode with wild consequences for the show's characters.

Also it's the first House episode Mike has ever seen. Does that matter? He gets the gist, and sometimes only through the eyes of a babe can we truly understand House.

We dig into fascinating topics, like what would happen if you did cocaine in your sleep and who would win in a Battle of Wits: Baby or Dog?

Lenny will be back to discuss the House/Cuddy kiss in the next episode but for now there's lots of super fun audio of acceptable sound quality to fill your ears with!

Can you even imagine how excited the Fox marketing department was when they found out this one had lesbian make out scenes?

This episode of House is much like the audio of this podcast: uneven. There's some good stuff, especially with the return of the House and Wilson goof around games.

Your mileage may vary but you'll definitely want to hear House say some of the least informed stuff about lesbians and psychology ever.

Also sorry for the chainsaw sounds. Pretend that Denji was fighting outside Lenny's place.

Sara Ghaleb joins us once again to herald the retun of Wilson! Him and House go on a fun road trip and there's threats of piss and shenanigans abound.

Will House reconcile with the idea of his abusive father now that he has passed? Does Wilson want House on a short leash? What would have happened if they hooked up when they first met?

Also some lady has pins in her brain, don't worry about that.

Comedian and friend of the cast Dan Wilbur returns to discuss an episode where Breckin Meyer plays a painter with messed up visions and also creepy stuff happens with that PI guy.

Plus we discuss XXX parody ideas for the Twilight Zone, Drug names, and the world's worst game show.

This is a fun episode with some all-time riffs so listen right now!

Can you replace your best friend with an annoying Private Detective? That is just one question we look to answer with our guest, comedian Rebecca Kaplan, cohost of the Bad Fan Fiction Podcast.

We also rediscover noir stories from first principles, try to figure out if a math professor is a major downgrade from an architect, read some fan fiction, and more!

Why did all of the patients who received the organs from one donor get sick? Listen and learn!

Friend of the show Kacie Tergesen ("Girl in Trouble Stories" and "Sound Snackz") joins us again to deal with the fallout of Amber's death. Wilson wants to leave and Thirteen seems confused.

She maybe wants a better job... or more responsibility... or a kid. It feels like the kind of story that would be written by a man about a woman who found out she was going to die in a decade which, to be fair, it is.

We've also got lots of fun stuff exploring the contradictions of the vaguely high powered feminist lawyer (?) who helps men around the world get out of harassment, why The Pitt is good, and so much more!

Sara Ghaleb returns for the big season 4 finale!! Who would win, a woman without kidneys or the flu pills that kill you if you don't have kidneys?

The answer will not surprise you.

It's an emotionally powerful episode with great performances but don't worry! You'll also get our takes on the big Anora vs A Real Pain screenplay page debate and whether we think it would be comfortable to use a blow up doll.

The answer will not surprise you!

This is a big, big episode and we're glad you're here with us for it!

House is playing the role of concussion detective as he tries to figure out what life threatening symptom he noticed right before taking part in a frankly wild bus crash.

Along the way we get a lot of well-realized mind palace detective adventures, the wackiest stripper you've ever seen, and a strip dance from Lisa Edelstein.

What is the mystery House is trying to remember? Honestly if you don't know you should watch the episode before listening to this one, because we spoil it!

Sara Ghaleb returns for a beautifully unhinged episode of House that starts with House kidnapping a soap opera star and only gets wilder from there.

Did you know the hospital inspector is here for a surprise inspection? And Wilson and Amber are buying a mattress?! AND CAMERON HAS TO DO PAPER WORK?

Trust me, it's great. We've also got some Emmy hot takes and some advice for how certain Supreme Court Justices could be much cooler.

Can someone be... too nice?!

Well we aren't... to this episode! Yes, there's a great B plot with Amber and House fighting over Wilson, but as Lenny says the main plot feels like a parody of a House episode and then you've got two competing C plots.

But hey, you get to hear Wilson talk about using lube, so it's not all bad!

Oy Vey is this ever a Jewish episode!

Lenny is out this episode but comedian, writer, and friend Jay Welch is in!

Laura Silverman plays a woman who becomes Chasidic, gets married, and then gets sick.

Whether you like hearing about major disputes in the Talmud, tasteless reality show ideas, or whether it's smart to eat a whole bunch of Challah before major surgery, you'll find something to love so listen now!

This episode of House is going down under... no, further down under than that!

Yes, Mira Sorvino guest stars as a psychiatrist at the South Pole, though I think I said it was Mena Suvari. Whoops!

House of House favorite Sara Ghaleb rejoins the show to discuss this episode that originally aired after the Super Bowl. It's got everything you could want, from pee drinking to a mysterious woman for Wilson.

It's a Christmas Miracle for a Christmas episode! Yes, for once we actually have the Christmas episode coming out right on time.

That being said, it's also a miracle that you're getting to hear this episode at all since the audio didn't process properly at first. It's still a little janky, but tis a season for forgiveness and good cheer so we hope you'll understand.

Anyway, House says slurs and is creepy towards a tween. He also does a fun Santa con... as in deceit, not the thing where people dress as Santa and get drunk.

The games are finally over... or are they just beginning?!

Jeremy Renner, a man who is probably the most currently famous person to have ever been on the show, plays crusty punk rocker Jimmy Quidd who is the wildest PG rated punk you've ever seen.

It's a little anticlimactic for the end of the tournament arc but there's still some fun stuff in this episode and we have fun covering it!

Well, we broke our record for longest episode again.

You're WELCOME!

Ellie Warren returns to discuss the curious case of a magician and a panty raid.

We also get pretty blue!! If you have a problem with multiple long tangents about c*m and the 2010s comedies that revolve around it, this episode may not be for you.

But you should listen anyway, because I bet you'll like it. Hey, we had fun recording it, you might as well give it a try. I can almost guarantee you'll learn something.

It's a meta episode, folks! Some documentarians are making the equivalent of a TLC show about a kid with a deformity but they lucked out, because they get to film an episode with House instead!

It's also a Taub centric episode, which is quite the treat! Listen for our takes, plus the possibilities of a House revival and the reveal of the ultimate birthday boy.

Trevor Drinkwater joins us for a wild House episode where House finally gets to consult for the CIA, like we've all been waiting for!

There's also polio discourse! Plus we dig deep into which actors can play Jews, talk job applications, and come up with some better names for Steven Spielberg movies and so much more!

You gotta listen to this one. Right now! Do it!

Fan favorite guest and House expert Sara Ghaleb returns for a fun and goofy House episode.

What will the team do when they have to treat an X-Man capable of reading people's dreams and emotions? If you guessed they'll have individual revelations, you're right!

We also touch on politics, Glee, Elon Musk's stupid robots and so much more!

Listen now!

It's a spooky Halloween episode for spooky season! There's talk of Beetlejuice and grave robbing.

It's also a real barn burner! Lenny and me disagree on the episode's quality.

You're going to want to listen to this ferocious throwdown and pick your sides. Who do you stan?

Listen now!

OK, so before we get too deep into it, yes the dog dies.

It's a real bummer but it's true, especially when it's such a cute dog as this one.

Gabriel Laks returns for a very uneven episode. It has the highs of House sticking a knife in an electrical socket to try to see heaven and the lows of House berating a paralyzed guy because he wants his suffering to end.

Also that dog dies, as we mentioned. But you will hear about the new House opening we came up with and also bear witness to the eternal body surfing vs swimming debate!!

The tournament arc begins for real! We've got an exciting episode as we see what happens when you put a lot of people, most of whom are doctors, in a room and make them compete for House's affection.

It injects a whole to of fun into the series and may be its best arc of all time?! You'll have to listen to find out for sure!

We also discuss the super secret DNC guest and fame, conceptually.

It's time for a new season and you know what that means: we talk about JD Vance and Girls (2012-2017) for half an hour!

But the rest of the time it's all House, baby! Chris Kopcow joins us for a great season premier with goofy Wilson antics and a twist even Shyamalan couldn't predict!

You'll have to listen if you want to know more!

Season 3 ends not with a bang but with the team whimpering off.

It's a duo episode with just the H of H Boyz you know and love. When a Cuban Jason Schwartzman shows up looking to save his wife, House has to ignore and mock him and challenge God just enough to save her life.

Yeah, it's a pretty standard episode, but not a bad one. Here's to Season 4 and the Reality Competition to come!

Michael Chau returns for "The Jerk."

Wait, are we discussing the Steve Martin movie?!

No silly goose! We're talking abut the House episode. Don't worry, I make that joke in the episode as well.

We've got a bratty chess teen prodigy and he manages to piss off the whole team through the ancient art of being a whiny bigot.

Plus we've got discussions of why you shouldn't say a slur even if the world is ending and more!

It's a gross one! We have eye trauma, skull melting, and what the kids these days call "unalivele tendencies."

We're joined by director Lauren Greenhall to discuss the joys of dosing your friends as well as the problems with kids these days, the number of sex positions that exist, and more!

Ellie Warren returns for her second ever House episode!

And it's a wild one! It has brothers sacrificing to save each other, Foreman torturing a child, and an adorable dog.

Plus we discuss Tumblr quotes that could be in the Bible, why you should get to try heroin before you die, and the comments people leave below pornography.

All this and more! So listen!

Lenny isn't here this week because he's busy showing condos inn New Jersey.

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

This episode has some amazing acting from Omar Epps, even if the script leaves a lot to be desired. We also discuss Arrival, hear from former President Obama, and talk Jeans Gone Wild.

House of House favorite Sara Ghaleb returns for an episode that features both comedic Shakespearean hijinks and kids going through super early puberty in equal measure.

The two plots vary in quality a bit, but there's also Joel David Moore from Avatar!

I bet you're thinking we don't discuss the Purim video parody of Superbad I was part of in high school, but we do! And much more!

Comedian Hoff Matthews joins us for a top tier episode of House MD: Airplane Doctor.

This is really great stuff. On the ground we have an old party lesbian and in the sky, there's a plane full of people terrified of catching mystery rash vomit disease.

Among the topics discussed are the best times to meet a courtesan, the worst time to be joining the mile high club, and the deadest cat alive.

Everyone's favorite House expert Sara Ghaleb returns for an episode where a pregnant woman's fetus is trying to kill her and Cuddy, eventually, realizes she's just like her fr and decides to do a House impression and save them both.

Also there's a cameo from the front man of The All American Rejects.

We spend a to of time talking about the All American Rejects.

Woah, House had a dream about a patient he never met?! Could it be that this marine is a dream traveler?!

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?"

It turns out the answer is "it would be no good!"

So listen now! You might even learn the best place to see celebrities...

For 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 so we try not to be too harsh.

Enjoy this fun episode, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled program next episode!

Prestigious actor Dave Matthews is in this episode so we had Dave Matthews expert Steve Fiorillo return to march some ants, if you know what I mean.

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 tried my best to mitigate them be nice to meeeee.

Content 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 to listen to find out!

If 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!

Of course there's a lot more fun to be had! Hear a story about a nice lady who recommended a certain musical to Gabe and me cause of our "love of cursing." Find out why you should never swallow a toothpick! Learn about a weird little bigot Andrew met at smart person camp. And so much more!

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!

The 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 whole lot more!

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 the weirdest Twitter ads we've seen recently.

Alright, listen up and let's have a good 2024 with only good things for everyone.

Alexa Feeney returns for a House episode featuring the most divorced parents of all time! Will they get back together? Will House convince the hospital to saw off the daughter's limbs? Why is Tritter trying to get House off pills when he lives in a universe where guzzling pills makes you a great doctor? Are those even pain pills or are they just "good at doctoring" pills?

Plus we weigh in on the "30 Rock discourse," Alexa speculates about a House MTG Commander deck, and much much more!

Hugh Laurie delivers some of his best work in an episode that has high points and also Foreman being really annoying and wrong.

What happens when some kids are left parentless? Apparently their brother has to step in to raise them even though he works at Five Nights at Freddy's and also has a jacked up immune system. And if he doesn't he's a bad person?!

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, as watched being played by some noisy guy.

We're in peak House folks! We've got John Larroquette getting woken up from a coma for 24 hours and you know he wants a hoagie!

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!

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 ep about it, listen now!

Apparently 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!

Hard 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.

You'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!

Our 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!

We 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 Twitter weirdos.

It's a fun time, and you'd have a fun time hearing it!

The 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!"

Normally 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!

The Tritter Arc begins! Yes, House's next ultimate villain shows up to threaten to steal the Dragon Balls or whatever. He also has the worst fit of all time!

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 there is!

Plus so much more! Listen! Listen now!

So 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 and so much more! It's a supersized episode jam-packed with good times so you better start listening ASAP!

Paging 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.

She wants to bang Dr. House, that's what we mean. We all feel a little differently about the quality of this episode of House, but we think you'll find the House of House episode is top quality. Also, would you pay us $5000 on Patreon to watch the Bry*n S*inger doc when it comes out?

OK, 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 fun so listen now!

We 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! You can't win em all. We also deal with other important issues, like how the Gorillaz do live shows and finally correct the record on a massive error.

It'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!

This 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!

House 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 so there's really something for everyone.

Katie made it safely back from the pain dimension so it's time to finish this two-parter! 

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 best to fix it, OK? This is still a super fun and funny episode, so enjoy!

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, Katie is sucked into the pain dimension! Will she return? You'll have to tune into the next episode to find out!

Strap 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 blow past House in the "least ethical doctor" power rankings? Plus the return of Trivia Trivia and so much more!

Also, check out and help fund Alexa's movie she's making with her partner Mia Moore Marchant. It's like an episode of House if House was a queer sci fi love story and also a movie: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/again-again-a-time-loop-feature-film#/

This 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 (the field of study, not the movie) and nothing about Jayma Mays's age. And of course, lots of fun goofs and jokes as always. 

Just 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 day and this is not a good day... for you!

As always, we've got 200 ccs of really great podcast for you to listen to. Highlights include our introduction to the Goodiverse, Lenny's new Cumtown character, and one of the worst sexual euphemisms we've ever heard.

And more? Yes More! But you'll have to listen to hear it.

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 time but for now just consider it a bonus crunchy treat. 

Sorry 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.

What 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 at length. It's a House of House holiday extravaganza. Enjoy! 

Valerie 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 will probably be like over a month out of date by the time you're listening to this and we speculate about what the anti-PC people of the early 90s could even have been mad about.

My audio sounds a little weird for some reason. It's not that bad, but by warning you you'll assume it's worse than it is and be pleasantly surprised. Regardless this is one of the top 5 wildest House episodes which makes for a great House of House episode. Listen to it now!

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 of course we've got tangents, including spicy hot takes about the ending of Breaking Bad less than a decade later!

It's a really fun episode so listen to it now!

Returning 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 so much more. Insert it in your ears, or else (you will miss a funny podcast episode)!
