House of House: A House Rewatch Podcast

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)!

"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. Plus I learn in real-time about one of the most racist book titles of all time!

Is this House's biggest guest star yet?! Maybe! Your governor and mine, Cynthia Nixon, shows up to pretend to be sick.

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 "Jeff Foxworthy but for House cold opens."

Listen to it now!

It'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 episode that's only like 10% a discussion on the individual versus collective responsibilities of climate change and COVID and how they're reflected through social medial scolding. Don't worry though: we're correct. 

We've got a mid-2000s gay character with AIDS played by a straight actor. Is it a sensitive portrayal? Ehhhhhh

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!

Learn all this and more on today's episode!

This week's episode deals with a famous cyclist who might have cancer and is secretly doping, based off one of the many real-world famous cyclists with a disease who was secretly doping.

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!

I slightly reined myself in tangent-wise, so you're welcome Lenny. Don't worry though, if you're a Cuddy Buddy who loves some good tanges there's still some good stuff to munch on. 

CONTENT WARNING for discussions of the Bye Bye Man.

Writer, comedian, and cat fancier Hana Michels returns to the cast to look at a House episode that made us realize we're all daddy's boys in our own way.

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 you can wear as a condom, gender discourse (we're all on the correct side), and like a thousand other things, stick this episode in your ears right now!

Dr. Livingston, I presume?

Ron Livingston shows up as the anti-House, a doctor who only solves one disease and cares about the people he's treating. Playwright Jack O'Keeffe joins us for a fun episode that asks the question "what if Ron Livingston was the guest star?"

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 much much more!

Also content warning for some brief discussion of suicide and self-harm in a lighthearted way.

Cuddy does not come across well in this one! 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 steps closer to putting House and Cuddy together but it's not working.

This is still a very fun podcast episode, even though I had the idea for us to choose Emmy winners without realizing there are a billion categories. Download the episode so you can hear me realize that fact in real-time!

Let's slap a big ol' content warning at the top here cause wow, this episode is nuts!

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 relationships, and goofs galore plus an extra big helping of an extra silly wiki page.

Stick it in your ears! You'll be glad you did!

Welcome back, Cuddy Buddies, to the second season of House MD! Yes, we've finally made it and we're joined by Dave Grom of the "In The Mix" podcast to discuss a wild episode.

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. It's the perfect podcast episode to request as the last meal for your ears if you're on death row, assuming the Supreme Court hasn't already ruled the concept of last meals is too "woke" or whatever SORRY TO GET POLITICAL JUST LISTEN PLEASE!
