Hello.
Hello.
I only heard two of you.
Oh, hello.
Was that the one you didn't hear?
No, that one. Hey, let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name,
which doesn't change it that much,
I don't think. But starting us off, phoning it in. I'm going to say that about everybody,
because that's what we're all doing. Phoning it in from the Bay Area of California is Chad Opitz.
Hey, Chad. How's it going, Doug? It's pretty good. I hear that you're laying on the floor like a child.
I am, like I'm coloring in a dinosaur book or something.
I wish, you know, if you could take a picture of how you look while you're doing that, send it to me.
I'll try.
I guess they can imagine it because you're so you're so childlike in general
i've got a real whimsy to me yeah you have the haircut of the child in the shining
and you're always you're always talking with one of your fingers
yeah and isn't there a scene in that movie where he's drawing yeah he's coloring oh yeah you know
he's laying on the floor coloring in that big
gigantic hotel taking a break from riding around on his big wheel what a life he leads oh my god
i am currently in austin texas for an event uh film festival i go to every year called fantastic fest and uh the theater in austin where this is taking place
the alamo draft house uh the on lamar is uh when you go through the first uh hallway to go to where
all the theaters are uh it's like you're in the hallway of the uh overlook hotel there's a like
a door that's been you been smashed through with an axe
and then there's the little twin
girls. They
project them at the end of the hallway
and they appear and disappear.
There's a hot lady
that turns into an old lady?
No, they don't have that.
They don't go that far with it.
Terrific guess,
Justin. didn't go that far with it but uh terrific guest justin
um also joining us today uh oh so anyway chad how's how's san francisco treating you
pretty good not bad yeah all right that's all i needed to know excellent i i'm gonna point out
where everybody is today
Just because it really is interesting
How we're all
I'm in Austin, you're in the Bay Area
Joining us from the Cincinnati area
It's Jeff Tate
Tate, Tate
Hey, hello everybody
What's up?
Hey
Does anybody ever call you Tater?
Sure They do? Sometimes Does anybody ever call you Tater? Sure
They do?
Sometimes
It was a lot more
20 years ago I had a lot more
When Ron White first broke out
Now it's all about Ron White
He's the only Tater
He's going to retire with it
Yeah
He's retired I guess Which you know you think stand-up comedy
be one thing you don't really have to retire from as long as you can still talk yeah i mean he still
does uh sets around austin maybe you'll see him oh he does he just goes out and like just performs pro bono i mean basically i guess i can't imagine
that us that he's really interested in spot pay somebody should go in there and try to scoop up
his money he's probably got a good tab at some of the clubs he's got he's got six envelopes with
40 checks in each one of them yeah exactly and exactly. And that's, that's probably, that sounds a little, a little high.
Probably a little smaller than that.
But thanks for joining us today, Jeff.
Are you, you got a gig somewhere in the Cincinnati area?
Cause I know you've been sitting in Portland.
Yeah.
I'm in the comedy off broadway tomorrow and
saturday uh where's that oh lexington i'm sorry oh lexington oh yeah that's that's just a little
over an hour away so yeah i came here early just drive over there yeah Yeah. That's a fun club.
The last time I recorded an album, you know,
it's like, stop doing that.
The last one I recorded was, I think you were even there,
and it was, I think it was like 2017 at that club in Lexington,
and we just called the album The Date in Lexington
for anybody interested in trying to
find that.
I remember that. That was fun.
Yeah, it was a good time. So say hello to that dude
for me.
And anybody else that shows up
going, I saw you when you were here with Doug Bassett.
Our returning champ today.
Words I
never thought I'd say about this man.
It's Justin Thompson.
Hey, Justin.
Hey, what's up?
Yeah, I got a real underdog type spirit, you know, with me right now.
You really do.
And how has it felt being a champion for, you know, it's been a few days now.
It's crazy.
I go out on the street. Chicks are yelling at me. I'm signing
tits. It's wild.
Well, I'm sorry to say your reign might end today.
But you never know. You never know. You know, I'm not familiar
with Chad, but I know Jeff is a pretty good competitor
at whatever it is you got planned
for us yeah jeff's real good at this silly shit and um and uh chad's not he's no uh chopped liver
as they say which i don't understand why they'd say you know uh you know that expression. Can anybody explain it?
Not at all. What am I, chopped liver?
What do you think of chopped liver?
I think it was one of the first things
that everybody knew that was bad.
Why is it chopped?
When it's unchopped, it's better?
I have to imagine.
Is it worse?
Why isn't the expression expression what do you think i
am a greasy slimy liver yeah they need it they need it they definitely need to change it up it
should be like what do you think i am asparagus pea or something like that yeah that really
don't get me started about asparagus pea because uh the years ago when I was mentioning somebody's
Twitter handle on this show
I called them
I said this person's Twitter name
is Asparagus
and I just I pronounced the P
and then it wasn't until I met the man
that he said no my name
is Asparagus P
oh lordy
Asparagus Asparagus P. Oh, lordy.
Asparagus.
Asparagus.
He should have capitalized the P so you know it's a different thing.
You know what, Jeff? He did.
Oh.
Okay.
I still didn't pick up on it. I really thought
it was first name Asparagus, last
initial P.
Thank you, all of you, for being here today.
And before we play some games, I'd like each of you to recommend one movie for our listeners to either check out or disregard based on your personalities and your descriptions of the films.
Starting with Chad Opitz.
What have you got for us?
Do you have anything you can recommend?
Yeah, I watched one a few nights ago.
Good time for the Halloween season coming up called Cobweb.
Oh, I like it.
It's called Cobweb?
Cobweb i like it it's called cobweb cobweb and it's about this kid whose parents are
uh mysterious and creepy it kind of like have you ever seen the movie parents uh the randy quaid
movie it's got a little bit of that but it's a bit less it's a little bit more serious i guess
it almost feels like a like a tales from the crypt episode in a way um the the like the family has this big pumpkin patch
in the backyard for absolutely no reason just because it's like halloweeny and uh there's
something in the walls of the house and the kids trying to figure out like if the parents like have
somebody in there like what's going on so there's kind of a mystery element to it and uh the visuals
are really good i i'd definitely
recommend it for this time of year for sure you say this uh is a fairly recent film it came out
in the summertime which seems like a weird move but yeah it came out a few months ago i think
yeah well that's the thing about horror movies is that they're you know they can come out year
round but people start to get a little weirded out
by the idea of it in August and September
because it's just like, well, couldn't you just wait a month or two
for the whole scary season?
But then you've got a glut of horror movies
that have to compete with each other, so it's real tricky.
But I learned the other night,
playing in a game show- style format thing during Fantastic Fest that the top three months to release a horror movie are.
Now, I hope I don't fuck this up.
October, obviously, is number one.
uh october obviously is number one but number two is uh december or no wait no number two is february number three is december and uh you know and i
figured out on the spot that february would be a big month because you know uh that one date uh
valentine's day is you know of course there has to be a horror
movie out so that couples can go do that oh yeah absolutely you know and then christmas time it's
just like it's such a happy time that of course there's going to be counter programming and then
there's also going to be just you know movies with the word slay in them you know absolutely
there are a lot of like holiday type horror flicks.
Oh my god.
They just keep coming out of them.
My friend Brian Posehn is in one called Uncle Nick.
Yeah that was really good.
Yeah.
But this cobweb I've never even heard of it.
There's also an exciting development in the movie.
Where the bully of the young kid.
The bully is played by a brand new Busey.
Gary Busey has like a 10-year-old kid in the movie who just looks like him.
Oh, that's reason enough to not watch right there.
A new Busey just dropped, baby.
Wow.
So it's like just a little kid who looks like he can't keep his teeth in his mouth?
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's wild, man.
And I thought it was initially, I thought it was like Jake Busecey's kid but no it's gary bucey's son does he like
hoagies like uh like his dad in point break oh man he better he's gonna be chomping on it he's
wearing a hawaiian shirt the whole flick yelling at keanu wait keanu's cobweb no he's not I wish he wasn't
he would have been a nice addition
alright Jeff Tate
what do you got for us what do you want to recommend
I want
to recommend The Imposters
what's that
it's that it's from the late
90s and it is the second
movie that Stanley Tucci directed.
It's the one with
Oliver Platt.
Just two.
It's just the big night and then the
Impostors.
It's a Tucci joint.
Stanley Tucci and Oliver
Platt are like
bad stage actors who
make somebody mad and then have to hide on a boat
and they get
mistaken for the
I really enjoy it
it's delightful
what do they get mistaken for?
I think other actors like better
actors oh okay
so that's why they're imposters
it makes perfect sense
yeah it's very fun
and it's just the whole it's very it's very fun
and it's just the whole thing's on a boat single location i like 90 of it's on the boat maybe 95
the very beginning is on land and then you see there's the thing happened that makes them hide
and then they're just on the boat for the rest of the time okay because you know i've been learning more and more about the you know um uh the single
location thing is uh obviously um kind of a popular thing to do during the pandemic there
was a lot of movies that just take place in one place but now it's uh i think it's fun to uh
try to think of movies that uh you know, only have one location.
Maybe that'll be a game that we will play someday.
All right.
Justin, what do you have?
What do you got this time?
What would you like to recommend?
I would like to recommend a documentary.
Hands on a Hard Body.
The documentary.
Mm hmm.
Yep. It's a documentary from the mid-'90s about a contest put on by a radio station
at a car dealership where everyone keeps their hands on a truck to try and win it.
Yeah.
And it's bananas.
It's great.
It's the best.
I watched this again recently, and it's something I'm telling everybody about.
It's wild.
There's twists.
There's turns. There's an emotional arc. But the subjects
are all these really ridiculous southern
folks who just show up like,
yep, I'm gonna win that truck.
It's amazing.
And I don't know.
I feel like everyone should watch it.
It's hilarious. And then the
guy who had won it before is
a central character in it. And he's hilarious. And then the guy who had won it before is like a central character in it.
And he's like this, you know, kind of cowboy philosopher type.
And you can watch it online for free legally, not on one of the mainstreaming services.
If you Google Hands on a Hard Body, the documentary, it'll be like the third or fourth link.
Yeah, and it's like set in like 95 or. or yeah a couple of dirty things will probably come up
first with that title but then you'll get to it and i i saw it you know back when it came out i
don't even know how do you know how old it is um i think it came out in 97 i i'm looking at the
wikipedia page okay don't look things up while we're doing the show all right so nothing else i just this movie i wanted to get the details right now we
know how you won last time no no no i didn't look at it i looked at it i am not a cheat
how dare you besmirch my character in such a demeaning manner um Oh, did you know they adapted into a stage musical, Doug?
I did.
I was going to drop that news on you
because what a weird thing to turn into a musical.
But the music kind of had a country feel to it.
And the stage show, one of the actors
with his hand on the car, or maybe he played the other guy.
I don't know.
But one of them was the the great uh keith carradine um because he's a good singer and but he has that
like twangy kind of he's good at that kind of stuff but what yeah it's you know i've been
watching uh you know over the years these like competitions they do on reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother, where they make somebody stand or touch something, you know, for a long time.
And whoever lasts the longest wins, you know, and it goes like, you know, 20 hours or some shit like that.
But do you recall how long the hands on a hard body contest, how long it took before there was a winner?
It goes into multiple
days like more than like two full days um yeah and they have to continually just touch this truck
and the other thing is you have to you know the people don't have to just stand there quietly
they can stand there and talk shit if they want you know and be weird given like a five minute
break every hour to like piss and stretch their legs okay yeah like it's you know they do get a small break but
they still you know do it like over 24 hours and then it just gets really ridiculous it's
crazy and uh i do recommend it as well um but i am interested in Cobweb and The Impostors.
I think this is a good selection.
I doubt there's any person listening right now that's seen all three of these movies.
If there is, reach out to me, and I will give you a special prize.
It's a certificate
that I'll draw myself
that says you saw three movies
yeah put that on your resume
I got ahead of myself
as soon as I offered a prize I was like I gotta
offer a shitty prize so no one even
buys one
but thanks for all those recommendations
and
you know what I I'm going to recommend a movie. But after the break, we'll be right back.
But it's going to be folded into this first game we're going to play because I'm currently, as I said, in Austin, Texas for Fantastic Fest.
Today's the last day.
I'm going to the closing night party tonight.
And they do weird stuff at these closing night parties at Fantastic Fest.
This year is no exception. I've been asked if I want to participate
in a thing where they draw some of your blood
and then make it into sausage
and then you eat it.
Oh. What?
Right? Doesn't that sound
absolutely horrible?
No, that's not your answer.
All you said was you were asked to do it. Did you agree to do it?
No.
I said
I said thanks, i said thanks but
no thanks and then the person laughed was this a promo was it a promo for one of the movies why
would they do that no because the guy that runs uh fantastic fest the guy who dreamed it up uh
his name's tim league and he's he also was the founder of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Chain.
And he just has crazy ideas all the time.
Like, I didn't participate in this either, but the first day of the festival, a bunch of people went out to a field with shotguns and shot at things that when you hit them, they would actually explode.
Okay.
Yeah, so they'd make these little explosions just if you hit the target.
He's always up to stuff like that.
He's always got crazy things he's doing.
I'll be there tonight and maybe witness somebody else do it or something,
but I just don't even get how they can turn your blood into a sausage that you can eat.
don't even get how they can turn your blood into a sausage that you can eat and someone told me today that if someone if you make your own blood sausage of your own blood and you and someone
that's not you eats it then it's illegal what what what a weird law you can only eat you can
only eat your own blood okay wow well but they've got to be mixing it with pork or something, right?
What?
They've got to be, sorry to step on your joke,
but they've got to be mixing it with pork or something, right?
It's not just blood sausage.
Yeah, they do something with it.
I guess that's what blood sausage is, is when you normally get it.
It's maybe the blood of the animals involved or something. But I mean, I don't,
I don't, you know, I, what I know about sausage,
you could write it on the size of a side of one wiener.
That should be what they do.
They should do that instead of doing the blood sausage thing.
So anyway, that was a fun sidebar but my point is that uh i'm at this festival
and they show lots of uh fun uh movies it's a genre festival so all the movies tend to be
science fiction fantasy or horror or a mix thereof and lots of uh you know disgusting things this year i've been pretty lucky i haven't seen
anything uh too gross nothing that's uh freaked me out too much but also last night they showed
saw 10 and i didn't uh i didn't go to that because i'm not a i've only seen one saw movie have you
guys seen any saw movies i've never seen saw i saw the first three or four yeah
yeah you really you were in it for a while and then dipped yeah not my thing no i mean that's
the thing is i the first one sounded like i was like oh that doesn't sound appealing to me
carrie ellis and someone sawing off their own thing no thanks
and then i don't need i don't need to see uh prince what's his name for princess bride do that
and then um uh i saw saw two i got tricked into seeing well not tricked into it i just went
and uh like on a date or something and and um in that one there's somebody gets like a drill
in their head while you know like while they're awake they get like somebody takes a power drill
and puts it in their brain like that's the most disgusting part of that one and so then i was
done i'd never look back not even chris rock could get me to see that last one spiral. But now this new one, Jigsaw, that character,
I think died in one of the movies.
Now he's back for some reason.
So maybe it's a prequel or he's a ghost.
But people, the buzz here at the festival
is that it has the most disgusting,
it has one scene in it that's the most disgusting scene
of any Saw movie.
So now I'm extra out.
I'm definitely not going to see it.
But this morning, because, you know, they show movies all day.
So this morning before doing the show today, I went and saw a movie called Eileen, and
it stars Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie.
And I loved it.
It's really good. It's's a period piece which both of those
actresses are great at and um it just really has some surprising twists and brings it all home
in a mere 97 minutes um so uh even leonard malton can't say it was too long. So inspired by seeing that movie today,
this game we're going to play is called Come On, Eileen.
Oh, yes.
I'll say a quote from a movie.
I'll say a quote from a movie in some sort of silly voice,
and then you tell me if it was uttered by ann hathaway or thompson mckenzie
or neither so it really is just basically a guessing game chad's gonna go first if he doesn't
get it then jeff gets a shot and then jeff doesn't get it then justin gets a g point, and whenever somebody gets right, the next person will start us off.
Are you ready, Chad?
Yes.
Who said it?
Hathaway, McKenzie, or neither?
You really are an idiot.
Oh, my God.
I mean, that could be anybody.
Right?
You really are an idiot.
Or neither.
It could be anybody or nobody.
Hmm.
Uh.
Yeah.
I'm going to go halfway on this one.
You're going halfway?
I can just see her saying that
in my head.
Well, I'm out here on the road, so I don't have my
sound effects, but I'll give you an idea
of what it would sound like with my mouth.
That is incorrect.
Damn it.
Incorrect. Incorrect.
Damn.
Jeff, is it...
Which one did you say, Chad?
Pathway.
That's incorrect. Jeff, is it McKenzie or neither?
I'm going gonna say neither guess what justin what's that you're already winning oh incorrect
what's your answer justin oh um
thompson thompson mckenzie yeah yeah she's got a fun her first name does sound like a last name Oh, Thompson. Thompson McKenzie.
Yeah, yeah.
She's got a fun.
Her first name does sound like a last name.
And she says that to the title character in Jojo Rabbit.
There were lots of other quotes from that movie, but for some reason, it tends to always be about Nazis or Jewishness.
So I thought that might be a little, make it a little too easy.
All right, so Justin's on the board.
We're back to Chad.
What do you think of this?
Who do you think this is?
Hathaway, McKenzie, or neither?
I had a dream.
My life would be so different from this hell I'm living.
Ooh.
Ooh, let me try it as Vincent Price.
I had a dream.
I can't do this.
I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living.
That's Vincent Price's MLK impression.
I'm going to go.
That sounds like a line from Les Miserables.
So I'm going Hathaway on this one.
Dude, you fucking figured it out.
That's right.
It's what Hathaway sings as Fantine in Les Mis.
If I had a sound effect, it would sound like
this.
That's pretty good.
You're on the board. Jeff, are you ready?
Yes.
You're a big Les Mis fan,
right? Big.
Big.
I steal bread every day.
I like that you at least have a good
reference.
Yeah, my friends
regularly tell me that I'm on my
Jean Valjean bullshit.
Dude, I'm always saying that
about Jeff.
Again with his Jean Valjean bullshit it's the craziest story that that lame is because
you know uh like dude gets caught stealing bread for it because his fan you know
you know because he's starving or whatever and um you know and he gets thrown in jail and then he breaks out of jail and russell
crowe is like i'm gonna fucking i'm gonna nip this in the bud and uh i'm gonna get this guy
for escaping from jail then the guy uh starts you know becomes a titan of industry next thing you
know he's like rich and has this big factory and uh
that russell crowe shows up and he's like you look familiar but he had like a beard you know
when he was when he was destitute and went to jail so then uh you know russell crowe doesn't
figure out it's him and then it's you know back and forth through the movie, you know, it's. But the point is, eventually, Russell Crowe is so upset that he can't catch this bread thief that he kills himself.
Damn.
Hello.
Hello.
Well, I mean, I definitely I definitely saw it, but some of this seems like news to me.
Seems a little drastic, but who knows?
He just throws himself off a building.
And like in the stage show, it's really fun because the guy, it's off of a bridge and he just stands in the middle of a bridge and he raises his hands above his head.
And then they just lift the bridge up really fast while he's standing there.
And it looks like he jumps off of it.
But in the movie, Russell Crowe really,
he really falls off a building and just takes a header.
It's like one of those falls where, like in Titanic,
when the guy hits the propeller on the way down.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know, he gets dinged.
It's like, oh, there's this one lady that falls out of the building
in Towering Inferno.
I think her name was Jennifer Jones.
When she dies, when she falls out of the building, she does the sameno. I think her name was Jennifer Jones. When she dies,
when she falls out of the building, she does the same thing.
She doesn't just fall next to it.
Her head dings it at one point.
Why does this horrible thing have to be made more horrible?
Why do they have to have a
head injury on the way down?
Alright, so
what's going on?
Douglas Movies. Which podcast are we doing? Chad has one. Justin has one. Jeff is. Wait. Yeah, Jeff is up now.
Yeah. Are you ready? Yeah. All right. I'm going to do this one as Marvin the Martian.
I'm going to do this one as Marvin the Martian.
Mackenzie, Hathaway, or neither.
Peace has cost you your strength.
Victory has defeated you.
That's Anne Hathaway.
Incorrect. Ah, damn it.
I thought I could trick you by sounding confident. correct. Ah, damn it.
I thought I could trick you by sounding confident.
No, I really do need to double
check when you have that kind of confidence.
I have to look down.
I thought I knew the answer
until you said that so confidently.
Justin, what do you think of your
remaining choices, which are
neither or
Thomas and Mackenzie
Alright so it's not cast away
I'm gonna go with neither
Dude
You did it
That is correct
That is
Let me tell you the proper way
That it should be said.
Peace has cost you your strength.
Victory has defeated you.
That's Bane from Dark Knight Rises.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
Man, I thought it was...
That's the movie I thought it was from.
I tricked you, Jeff.
No, for my trick.
I gave Catwoman one of Bane's lines.
And it fooled you.
I fooled you.
There's this guy named Greg Travis.
He used to do stand-up comedy.
He's an actor.
He's like the sleazy guy in Showgirls, which is a funny sentence because who isn't sleazy in Showgirls?
But he used to do stand-up comedy, and his ending bit was the same every night.
And I was like the emcee, and he'd do this bit called The Punk Magician.
And he'd put on a fake mohawk and then do magic.
It was like a punk rock guy
doing magic you know so he'd do the he'd do the the voice and then he'd be like
fuck you it's magic after every trick and um
and it just reminded me that the way i was talking he'd just be like, I fooled you.
It was just really, really rude because most magicians are usually
like, you know, they're cocky
but they're fairly polite about it. They act
humble, you know, they act like, you know.
But this guy was really in people's
faces about it.
If we had to go to a tie,
I was going to say
a line to settle it.
Your face looks really weird, granny.
Does anybody recognize that?
That sounds like a Little Red Riding Hood thing.
Yeah.
Is that Hathaway too?
Was she in something like that?
Yeah, Hathaway is the voice of Little Red
in a movie called Hoodwinked.
Was that what it's from?
Yeah.
Okay, hell yeah.
Yeah.
But that was just, you know,
I was just saying that for fun.
There's no beating Justin at this point.
He won that game.
And he gets to go first in our next game that's going to determine a winner today and we'll do
that after this break we're back did you guys have a chance to get some snacks or touch a truck for a
few hours yes thank you for letting me do that i did both i touched i touched a snack truck for a few hours. Whoa.
I touched a snack truck.
I'm in a pretty cool neighborhood.
Justin, let me ask you another question about hands on a hard body.
Since you just watched it, and I don't remember if this happens or not, but I know they're allowed to have a hand on it,
but they can switch hands
as long as there is continuous. They can move from
one hand to the other, but they just have to make sure they're continually
touching it with one or the other.
Did anybody get disqualified because they fucked that up? They accidentally
tried to do that, but the timing wasn't right?
they fucked that up.
They like accidentally tried to do that,
but like didn't,
the timing wasn't right.
Um,
yeah,
I don't want to give everything away,
you know,
teasing it for people who haven't seen it,
but yeah, definitely.
And they also have to wear gloves because they said,
uh,
the sweat and oils from their hands could damage the paint of the
truck.
So I have to wear these uncomfortable gloves the whole time.
And then they start taking off the gloves and having one glove on.
And, uh, yeah, people slip up when they're like delirious after being up for like 48 hours how many people
does it start out like 10 20 i think it's around 20 20 wow all right i might have people can stand
around a small pickup truck yeah yeah and then uh you know hoping to go home with it
and like i assume that some of them were not exactly rich and they really needed that truck
yeah there's one guy's like well uh i'd rather have a truck than a car because a car you just
take your place but a truck can work you know you can haul shit you can help people move you can
earn money with a truck i'm like oh man this guy's got a plan together yeah and you can also you can earn money with a car as it turns out too because you know you
can put stuff in it yeah and you can give people right put your mind to it you know if you focus
yeah this is this is long before a ride share like was an option like he couldn't just
you know uh drive people around okay and it's
like a small town in like texas you know yeah yeah so they need that truck so it's really it's
really dramatic and a great great subject for a uh a documentary um but oh in case i wasn't clear
about it though that movie eileen i was talking about earlier with Anne Hathaway.
She's great.
She's so good in it.
I think she might get like a, you know, might have some Oscar potential there. But, you know, she might meet a man named Oscar and settle down.
But, yeah, I don't know.
All right.
Well, Jeff is probably tired of how poorly it's going for him today.
I don't know.
He might turn it around this next game.
It's true.
He might.
So in this next game, Justin's going to go first,
and then we're going to go to Jeff and then to Chad,
because we switch the order around when it's a new game.
And we're going to play
a little something that I call
Purple Rain Man
Deluxe.
This is a regular
Purple Rain Man. This is
a new version of it. We used to do
Purple Rain Man, and
still might at some point, where
I say the third build people
in a movie mashup title and then uh
the second build and then the first and then people jump in with the correct answer as soon
as they know it but this is a slightly different take on that because i will tell justin the uh
two actors names and then he gets a chance to guess just from the third billed people.
And if he doesn't get it or passes
because he has no idea,
then it goes to Jeff and then to Chad.
And so if none of you get it,
then I tell you the second billed people
and you go through in order again.
And then all the way up to the first build people and
hopefully once i said the first build people somebody uh will definitely know it in each case
but these are extremely difficult so nobody should feel bad if they uh can't figure one of these out
uh figure one of these out. I'm going to feel like shit, Doug.
Yeah, well, Justin, have you played
this game before? No, but
I really need this, Doug.
Okay.
Just to give you an example,
first build in the
mashup title Purple Rain Man,
for Purple Rain, it would be Prince, Rain Man for Purple Rain it would be Prince
and for Rain Man it would be
you know Dustin Hoffman
so those would be the
top build people
to end in the result Purple Rain Man
just so you understand
so in this deluxe version you're going to give me
two third build names
yeah and that's all you get
but you get to guess without uh
you know jeff jumping in and making you look uh foolish making me look like a dumbass uh all right
and then i guess the the mashup title all right just making sure we got it all clear yeah and uh
you know on third on the third build pairs do not feel bad if you don't have any idea because you
know third build people are i'm swinging for the they're just a menace either way third build pairs, do not feel bad if you don't have any idea because, you know, third build people are just a menace.
Either way.
Third build people are a menace and they should not be allowed.
Okay.
There should only be two characters in every movie.
Here's your third.
And so.
Whoever heard of a three hander.
Yeah, exactly.
But Jeff and Chad both, you know, just a reminder.
Don't yell it out if you know it.
It's just Justin first.
Okay.
Third bill, Justin, in this movie mashup title are Lionel Jeffries and Vincent Gardenia.
Okay, let's go to Jeff.
Jeff, what do you think?
Nope. Nope, Jeff doesn't know it, Chad. Nope, let's go to Jeff. Jeff, what do you think? Nope.
Nope, Jeff doesn't know it, Chad.
Nope, he doesn't know it.
All right.
Just had to get that out of the way.
There's no way anybody was going to get it based off of that.
This only makes it slightly easier.
Second build in these movies, along with Lionel Jeffries and Vincent Gardinia, the third build.
Second build, Sally Ann Howes is in the first title and Robert De Niro.
A second build Robert De Niro.
That can't have happened very often.
Is in the second movie.
Justin, any...
Want to make any attempt to guess?
Yeah, I want to guess.
Alright, hold on.
Alright, you're not...
You weren't kidding. This is a really tough game.
Oh, yeah.
You shouldn't really...
It's not likely anybody knows who Sally Ann Howes is.
No. So, it's going to take that top name maybe to really get it going but you know that's the thing is you might have
an idea what the second title is but that you know it helps jeff will tell you you can piece
it together sometimes but meet the parent traps yeah of course, Robert De Niro was in Meet the Parents, which would be the second title.
So if Sally Ann Howes was in a movie called Dead Meat, then it would be Dead Meat, The Parents.
But that's not the case.
Jeff, do you have any idea?
Children of a Lesser Godfather
Part 2.
Yeah, see, this is how Jeff plays.
He plays dirty
and he plays fast, but that
is not the correct answer.
Wow.
Dirty, fast, and wrong.
That's my style.
Yeah.
Chad, do you have any idea man i don't know either the first
two like the lionel jeffries or sally in house i have no idea with that one um i also can't think
of a movie that uh deniro and gardenia were in together so i'm okay i got nothing for this one
yet all right let's go to Justin.
He's going to get the full information now.
He's going to drop it like it's hot.
Yeah.
First build are Dick Van Dyke and Michael Moriarty.
Michael Moriarty?
Yeah.
What the hell? I told you, this is a tough one.
Wow.
But it's fun to say, and it's fun to think about.
Wow.
Is it something like what?
Mary Poppins, Sideman.
I like it but no
Jeff have you figured it out
no
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
well fuck
Bangelheart
Bangelheart I like Bangelheart Wow, fuck. Vangel Heart. What's that?
Oh, man.
Vangel Heart.
I like Vangel Heart.
Vangel Heart.
No, that's incorrect, Chad.
Man, I do have nothing. I wish I had.
I had no idea what the hell either one of these movies are.
Michael Moriarty is a pitcher and robert de niro is a catcher on a baseball team and they're buddies and robert de niro's kind of his character is kind of dumb and then he uh he gets a terminal illness
uh and the movie is called Bang the Drum Slowly.
Oh.
So the full title.
Oh, wow.
Chitty Bang Bang the Drum Slowly.
Oh, man, that's great.
Wow.
All right.
I almost said that.
That's the thing.
It's the real tip of the tongue sometimes.
Jeff wasn't even that far off.
Yeah, I was thinking Chitty Chitty Bang Bang something,
but yeah. Yeah, Jeff figured out thinking Chitty Chitty Bang Bang something, but yeah.
Jeff figured out the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang part, but here we go.
Here's the next round.
Starting again with
Justin.
Third build
are Julie Harris
and Adam Brody.
Okay, Adam Brody. Okay.
Adam Brody.
All right.
That's a good name.
All right.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'll pass.
Okay.
Jeff.
I thought he was going to get it, so I forgot the names.
Julie Harris and Adam Brody, third build.
The Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
That's incorrect.
Chad?
I don't even know who Julie Harris is.
I'm screwed on this one, too.
Right. Okay. Justin, here's your second build, people.
Brian Brown
and Angelina Jolie.
Okay. It's hard to think of a picture where Jolie's gonna be second.
I feel like Jeff was getting close.
Hold on.
I were the two names for the first movie again.
Julie Harris and Brian Brown.
Can't say I'm familiar with their work.
Couple of hacks.
Not real A-listers, huh?
So I got nothing.
Jeff?
Gorillas in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
That is correct.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's a wow.
Yeah.
Top build Sigourney Weaver and, of course, Brad Pitt.
Gorillas in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
That was great.
Yeah.
Jeff's on the board.
I'm going to get it.
Chad's up first on this next one.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
It's important.
It's important that you probably go back to character actor lessons.
Yes.
Because the names can be a little obscure,
but I think you might know this first gentleman who is third build. His name
he's been on Douglas movies
and his name is Alan Tudyk.
Oh, yeah.
And then third build in the other
movie is a gentleman
named Michael Berryman.
Oh, man.
You know him?
I do know Michael Berryman.
Okay, so... Oh, oh man what do you think third build okay
oh man
uh uh damn i'm gonna pass okay i. I can't think of a proper mix.
It's smart, too.
I think strategically, you don't want to
give away half the time.
I have one idea.
You give Jeff half of it, he might
run away with the whole thing.
That's how I feel about my blood sausage.
What if I agreed to eat the blood
sausage with someone else's blood in it?
I don't think the illegal part is like
trick is that they
I don't think it's illegal to trick
somebody into eating your blood.
I think it's just
an illegal activity in general. I mean, they got a lot
of laws in Texas I'm not
familiar with.
Just always trying to control our bodies, huh?
Yeah.
Whose turn is it?
I think it's Justin's.
Yeah, it's Justin's.
Justin, did you get a chance to guess
on this one? No.
Alan Tudyx, and who was the other name? Michael Berryman. Justin, did you get a chance to guess on this one? No. All right. Alan, two dicks.
And who was the other name?
Michael Berry.
Berry's man.
Berry man.
Michael Berry. Barry's man.
Uh-huh.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Jeff.
Rogue one for the money.
Jeff likes to take a swing, but that is not the answer.
So, Chad, you get the second build people now.
This is a real opportunity for you.
They are Diego Luna and Louise Fletcher.
Louise Fletcher.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
Rogue One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
That is correct!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Nicely done.
Holy shit.
Top build, of course, are Felicity Jones
and good old Jack Nicholson
in Rogue One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
So those kind of got
a little easier as we went along.
I did an okay job with that, but now
we have
apologies to Justin.
Hang on a second because we want to get your plugs and stuff and remind people that your name on your social handles is weird.
Chad and Jeff are going to battle this one out for the win.
And we're going to start with Jeff.
And I think you'll get it right out of the win. And we're going to start with Jeff. And I think
you'll get it
right out of the gate, but you never
know. You never know.
Well, god damn it.
Yeah. We'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Third build. Luis Guzman
and Martin Short.
Whoa. Whoa and Martin Short. Whoa.
Whoa. Martin Short.
Third build.
Luis Guzman.
Always third build.
Always.
Perpetually third build. Luis
Guzman. Yeah.
Shit.
No, I don't have a guess right now.
Okay, Chad?
I don't either.
Okay, I'll give you the next names, Jeff.
If this doesn't do it, I'm going to jump through the phone.
I'm going to jump through the phone like
Freddy Krueger.
Second build, John Travolta and Chevy Chase
Travolta
Okay
Alright
John Travolta and Luis Guzman
Should be so much easier than it is right now
Yeah what
Right
Figure out the
first word of the second movie right and that one has wait who's in the second movie
chevy chase and martin shore oh yeah yeah yeah no okay you're right i know that
i know which one i know that one um oh one. Ah, fuck. I don't know.
No guess.
God damn, dude.
Chad?
Again, I'm stuck on the
first one.
Travolta, Guzman.
I'm going to take a...
God damn it.
Oh, man. god damn it uh but oh man uh get short t3 amigos i don't know dude that's that's too much of a stretch dude i don't know they didn't they didn't do a get shorty movie where uh john
travolta wouldn't get top billing i Man, I feel like such an idiot.
That's okay.
It's fun to be an idiot.
Like Elsa said to Jojo Rabbit.
You really are an idiot.
You're so fucking stupid, Jojo.
All right.
Are you ready for the big finish? Yeah. idiot. You're so fucking stupid, Jojo. Alright, Jeff, are you
ready for the
big finish? Yeah.
It's gonna hit
you like a lightning bolt.
Okay. Top build
in the first movie. I'm not gonna tell you who's top build
in the second movie.
Top build in the first movie
is Denzel
Washington.
Oh, and the taking of Helen 1, 2, 3.
Oh, my God.

And it's usually relevant in some way. In this case, it's the last line from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
As always, let's go.
