Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid pop-up kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Holy crap, that is a very, very warm, warm Christmassy welcome.
I'm so excited to be here in front of this packed house at the UCB Theater, Tuesday night, December something or other.
Let's not get bogged down in the details.
When the blue dudes in Avatar
are sexually frustrated,
do they get beige balls?
Hey, everybody.
It's the holiday edition
of I Love Movies,
and like I said, we're coming to you from
the UCB Theater in Los Angeles
right before the Comedy
Death Ray Christmas Spectacular
Ganza show.
And
it's a very exciting event
because everyone that's
here tonight paid a little extra
scratch than
normal to get in here because it's
a benefit to raise money for the
LA Food Bank.
And they had an auction, Comedy Death Ray, to raise money for the LA Food Bank and they had an auction, Comedy Death Ray
to raise money for LA Food Bank
and one of the
things you could bid on
was the opportunity to be a guest
on this very podcast
I Love Movies and then also
have some influence on who the other
guests would be based on
availability and the winner is is was Larry Zerner he's in LA you don't have to applaud for
him you can applaud for him when he when he comes out on the actual podcast he is
an LA entertainment attorney from what I can gather from his Twitter. That'd be weird if somebody on Twitter
thought it'd be funny to call themselves
an entertainment attorney in Los Angeles
if they weren't one.
So I assume he is.
And he's willing to pay,
and is paying to the L.A. Food Bank,
$855.
So that is awesome.
That is the most charitable thing I've ever forced another person to do.
And I feel pretty good about it.
And Scott Aukerman is...
He and B.J. Porter run Comedy Death Ray here on Tuesday nights at UCB.
And I'd like to bring him out now to accept the...
I have to match the amount.
I stupidly said I would match
up to $1,000 the amount
that somebody bid on this thing.
So I have written a check.
Scott Aukerman, could you come out here
and look at him all dressed up
in his winter finery?
He's looking good.
And I would like to present to you, written out to the L.A. Food Bank, a check from me for $855.
Thank you, Doug Benson.
This is the tiniest check that you could possibly buy.
It's great to see that you're a member of Bank of America.
Don't read out my numbers or anything
But it's an honor to give you this tiny check
Is anyone taking pictures of us?
We're both holding the check on separate hands
I really hope that the money from this check feeds people throughout the world
Throughout the world?
Well, I think you're going to be disappointed
It is the LA Food Bank Oh, it's only people in Los Angeles? People throughout the world. Throughout the world. Well, I think you're going to be disappointed.
It is the L.A. Food Bank.
Oh, it's only people in Los Angeles?
I believe so, yes.
Let me write you another check.
Because I want to give more.
Really?
No, but that's... Don't let go of the check, please.
Oh, sorry.
We've got to hold onto it ceremoniously and awkwardly for the entire time.
For all the pictures that are happening.
Those giant checks don't cash, though, is the problem.
So I got you a real check.
I'm not sure. You just have to go to a giant bank.
Let's bring out our guests.
These are two hilarious guys.
Tonight, the
Comedy Death Ray Spectacular
is going to go on for like four hours.
If you're ever in the LA area
on the last Tuesday
before the last Tuesday before Christmas
be sure to
come by and
enjoy this amazing show
that raises money for
a really good cause here in Los Angeles.
And my guests tonight are...
I like to do theme shows lately, as you know, listeners.
And the theme tonight is these guys.
I don't think they've ever met before,
but they are two of the nicest dudes that I have ever met in show business.
They've done movies.
They've done musicals.
They've done books on tape.
They've done it all on at least two continents.
Please welcome
Sean Cullen and David
Koechner
to
I Love Movies.
Come on out, gentlemen.
Oh no, they're already
calling each other, they already hate each other.
It's already Canada versus the United States.
Off mic.
Let's bring it on mic, gentlemen.
Fuck you.
Oh, no.
Fuck me.
Fuck all of Canada and you.
Well, it wouldn't take long.
Oh, wow.
Not many of them.
Really?
No, we killed 100 million of them in the last week for Christmas. There's not many of them. Really? No, we killed a hundred million of them
in the last week for Christmas. Who's we?
Who killed them? There's a group. We're chosen
by lot. Kind of a lottery ball.
And then you go and just murder as long
as you want. Oh, there's like
a serial killer lottery ball. There's not
a lot of food to go around. And it's
cold. So there's
only so much fuel. It's like the road.
Only more fun. I hope Dexter moves to Canada much fuel. It's like the road, only more fun.
I hope Dexter moves to Canada
next season. It's hilarious.
That would be awesome.
Sleigh bells ring,
are you listening?
Stab. Canadians die
and they're glistening.
There's snow on the ground,
it's all around.
Murder in Canadian wonderland.
Canadian wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.
Wonderland.

Wonderland.
Had you guys never really met before tonight?
No.
I think we had not.
I don't think so and it's a pleasure.
Are you familiar with each other's work?
Yes, I'm very familiar with his work.
Did you see Sean play Max Bialystock in the Canadian version of the producers on stage?
Almost no one did.
I tried to. I've told this story before.
I had a ticket to see you and you had
the flu that night and I said
I'm not seeing his fucking understudy
because I've seen Nathan Lane do
this shit and I was ready for
Sean Cullen, my friend, to take it
up a notch. That's right. I wasn't ready
to drop down several notches. I understand.
But I did come to your hotel room and vomit
and have diarrhea.
That's musical.
One in the sink and one in the toilet. I won't say
which is which, but...
I'm incredibly limber. You like to keep it interesting.
But thank you both for doing the show. Dave,
this is your first time on the show. It is my first.
Thanks for having me. I have a
gift for you.
Merry Christmas. He brought me a card
apparently that's in an envelope
that says my name on it. Beautiful.
That somebody else opened previously.
It's like
in movies I hate it
when the package is they just lift the top
off and they don't actually unwrap it
like the rest of the world.
That's movies that take place in Canada.
Yeah, we are really trusting.
We send things through the mail.
It's Boxing Day, so it's a box with a lid on it.
Yeah, we don't secure our boxes.
Okay, so the card says,
we couldn't get it together this year for a Christmas card.
Please enjoy this picture of our friend Norm.
That's the card that you and the wife send out?
This is the card
that we're sending out this year.
And then you open it up
and it's like a surprise
that it's Dave
and the entire family
all on the inside.
You did get it together.
But barely
because you started
with disappointment
like people just have to
look at Norm
who's in his t-shirt
and ugly shorts.
Yes.
And then bam
you open it up
and you get the whole family.
You get adorable.
Norm was not harmed during the making of this card.
And then you add another picture of Norm there in the corner,
which gets kind of creepy.
It gets like a neighborhood watch kind of...
My wife was against the second picture of Norm,
but I'd lobbied and got it through.
We always have a big fight about the Christmas card.
He takes the wholesomeness out of your adorable family,
having a weird guy in a baseball cap just hanging out in the corner.
It's a photogenic fight.
Well, thank you for that.
And then you included a $20 bill.
Yes.
And you signed it, Xmas09, that $20 I got from Keckner.
So now I either have to hang on to it as a keepsake,
or if I spend it, then someone down the line is going to know
that I got it from you.
I think you should tuck that somewhere deep in your wallet.
You should have went ahead and framed it
if you wanted me to just keep it and not spend it.
I want you to have it in your wallet in your wallet this economy it's hard to have
money no matter if just because you wrote your name on it on on that dire
day you've got that 20 deep in your wallet you always think oh well it's
fine I've got that 20 that Koechner gave me everything that's okay let's all I
gotta do is go down to the track and bet it all on a dog named Anchorman.
All right?
Or say, yes, I'll go ahead and have the Grand Slam.
That's another way to go.
We'll have one last warm meal.
Yes.
In the meadow we can build a snowman.
You can pretend that you are Parson Brown. I always loved
that. You'll say, are you
married? I'll say, no, ma'am.
Because Prop 8 didn't, it did pass.
And so Doug and I can't get married.
Hey, this family
is staying in the way. I will not
break up this family just because of our
man love. But I will.
Our hoodie, our hoodie turtleneck
man love.
Those hood rag girls!
I believe I heard
an ugh over there. Yes.
You were amazing in
Extract. I'm sorry?
The movie Extract.
I heard it the first time.
Holy shit.
That's my Pauline.
Everybody has a really annoying person in their life,
and you funneled it and channeled it for the movie Extract.
Oh, right, yes.
That was an amazing performance.
All the nominations are starting to come in.
How disappointed are you?
Oh, I'm not.
I had no...
You must have had some hope.
No.
Well, the movie didn't necessarily do that well,
though I'm a big fan of the picture.
It didn't do well.
It didn't get press.
It didn't get...
It's a very funny movie.
When does it come out on DVD?
I don't know.
And do you mind if I pronounce it that way?
I don't...
I think that's...
I thought that was a proper way of pronouncing it.
Yeah, you didn't even flinch.
No.
The audience was like,
ha-ha,
but you were like,
that's how people say it.
Sea men.
DVD.
Concrete.
Do you think you have
deleted scenes on the DVD?
Do you think...
No, everything was pretty much in.
You were all in there.
Yeah, yeah, I was all in.
Yeah, you did a terrific job.
It was a delightful picture.
Mike Judge is something else.
He's amazing. Something else. Oh, no, I have 150. He Yeah, you did a terrific job. It was a delightful picture. Mike Judge is something else. He's amazing.
Something else.
Oh, no, I have 150.
He's one hot tomato.
He's something else.
Now, Sean, did you see Extract?
I did not.
All right, let's move on.
What have you guys seen lately?
Have you been to the cinema at all?
I have.
The two of you?
I'm trying to remember now what we saw.
I'm sure your film was made by a Tom McGuigan.
Yes.
Whatever it was that you saw in Canada.
No.
I went to see...
You're in one of his movies now, aren't you?
Yes.
Which, what's it called?
What Lies Beneath.
What Lies Beneath.
Did you see that?
What does lie beneath?
Where Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth are...
Comedy duo.
Are Martin and Lewis.
I love it.
Can you think of better casting?
Nope.
If you thought who, what actors in several continents would be the best choices to play
American icons, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
And comedians.
Kevin Bacon is a fun one.
You would go Kevin Bacon.
It should have been the other Bacon.
From his hilarious work in Footloose.
He turned to me at one point.
And that movie where he brings the troops home.
He turned to me at one point. And that movie where he brings the troops home. He turned to me at one point during the shooting,
and he says, you're a comedian, right?
And I said, yes.
And he said, well, so what can I do to make this funnier?
Quit?
I really couldn't.
That wasn't nice.
That wasn't very nice.
I'm sorry.
I said, and I really just stopped talking.
Until he turned away. Who do you think he turned to for help when he was playing the invisible man?
You're invisible, right?
How can I not be seen by human eyes?
That's awesome.
So you did say, How can I make this funny
And I said
And then I left
Yeah
I couldn't
I really literally
Couldn't speak
That's a hard lesson
Because I was going to say
Be funny
Kevin Baker
Or do comedy
Gymnast
Have your stunt double
Do some gymnastics
As you did in Footloose
I was asked one time
By an actress
How to make it funny And I I said, just talk faster.
Oh, good one.
Because that will always work, because at least you'll be moving along and will get
to me.
Pace equals...
Oh.
That's nice.
That's very...
Are you listening?
In the lane.
Why don't we go on the fucking road?
That'd be great.
We could sing songs for kids.
And this audience would be very happy.
Yeah, they'd love it.
Out, damn Spocks.
Yes, Mr. Benson.
I forgot what time we started,
so I don't know what time we have to end.
There's nothing else after us.
Nothing coming up.
This is very exciting.
Nothing coming up.
This is it.
I went to see The Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey.
You went together or because he's in it?
No.
Well, I asked him to come because I wanted to know.
I wanted to know what voices he did because he did all of the voices.
And he did the voice of the usher who showed us to our seats.
He did the faces, too. He's all of the faces in the movie. Yes, he did. voice of the usher who showed us to our seats he did the faces too he's
all of the faces in the movie or him making his faces it was actually better than i thought it
was going to be how what did you think it was going to be uh i thought it was going to be really
awful which is usually i took my son i took my son and i take my son he is nine and he liked it
but he likes the chipmunks movie, and it drives me insane.
It makes me want to cut my own head off and throw it at an old woman.
So you're not looking forward to the squeakle?
No.
No.
I just don't, you know.
David Cross was funny in the first one.
Was he?
Yeah.
Was he?
If you're an adult.
He was in Curious George, the movie, and he played the younger brother.
Yeah, he's the voice of somebody.
Oh, my God.
And it's just him being bitter, which is really what he does.
There's nothing wrong with people earning money.
No, it's not.
There's nothing wrong with it, except when you shit on everybody else for doing the same thing.
I know.
I don't think he does that anymore, does he?
Boom!
Yeah, I think he can't.
Did you read his book?
He's got to delete.
No.
You're on page six.
Oh!
Early on. Infamy got a delete. No. You're on page six. Oh! Early on.
Infamy.
I'll take it.
What about...
I saw the Mr. Fox movie.
That's the last movie.
Is that good?
No, so you guys only go see movies when you're taking your kids, right?
Yes and no.
Although I will say this.
Last night I realized I woke up still dreaming of Zombieland, and I was in it.
And I was trying to pretend I was a zombie too
and we were huddled under a staircase somewhere
like in a school waiting for humans
and I was like, fuck, I have got to really zombie this thing
or I am going to be eaten.
And there's nothing really, I can think,
there's a lot of bad deaths,
but among them have to be eaten by a bunch of zombies.
That person who can't really even digest you.
Right.
Because they don't digest you.
No, it just comes out of the lump of flesh.
They must just take a bite.
That's fine.
Now you're one of us.
Isn't that what's happening?
That is an interesting point.
How come zombies are never shitting?
Or vampires.
Vampires shit pellets, or what do they do?
Like owls, owls when they eat something, right?
This is not related, but owls when they eat something,
they eat a mouse and then they eat the whole thing
and then it comes out hard pellets of hair and bone.
And I'm like, you must have, what happens with vampires?
They shit on your car.
I would like to see that.
If they roost above your house and shit on your car,
what would that be?
Just splashes of black blood coming out of their ass?
Nice, yes.
Deep, deep black blood.
You know, if you had a zombie shitting in your corner,
it would probably just be an eye or a finger or something.
Because they do just things whole.
Does Mr. Fox ever shit?
Yep.
Not in the picture that I remember.
Does he?
I'm sure he does, but he's got a wonderfully manicured tail. He's got a lot of tunnels at their disposal, right? And there's nothing dropping all around. We don't see the picture. Does he? I'm sure he does, but he's got a wonderfully manicured tail. There's a lot of tunnels at their disposal, right?
And there's nothing dropping all around.
We don't see the toilet, so I don't know.
How do you plumb underground?
Well, you just cover it up.
Or you build a tunnel, and you go in there and shit,
and then collapse it with explosives.
Every time?
Every time.
Like the bridge over the River Kwai.
Yeah, that's right.
That is correct. All right. Like the bridge over the river Kwai. Yeah, that's right. That is correct.
All right.
Did you like the...
Was it fantastic?
It was fine.
It was fine.
Because I hear very mixed things about it.
People seem to love it, or they're just kind of aggravated by the cheesiness of the animation
that it's all...
Oh, I didn't mind the animation.
I enjoyed it.
Herky-jerky little puppets.
Oh, they didn't bother me at all.
I enjoyed it.
Although, for the kids, I don't think they really, they're not getting the
whole story of what's really going on.
It's kind of an adult story, really.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very dirty.
I kind of, it's very dirty.
It's weird that Mr. Fox is like obsessed about frequent fire miles.
That doesn't make sense to me.
You might be confusing two pictures.
Oh, yes.
I'm thinking of Up.
Yes.
In the air.
In the air. Up in the air. Up in the air.
Up in the air. The two of them together.
I was thinking today, when all the award nominations are coming out this year, that the makers
of Up in the Air or Up, either way,
could be often disappointed.
Oh, shit. We've got a spill. I love how
lackadaisical you were
about the spill. You finished
your sentence. You completed your sentence.
And then chose to pick up your notes.
The podcast comes first.
And now the bottle is once again...
On a weird angle.
Canted in such a way that it's dangerous.
Well, I bought this bottle in Italy.
It's the Eiffel Tower bottle of water.
Nice!
It just leans at an angle.
Folks, I don't know.
That's quick.
That's very quick.
It's like we're in Catwoman's...
I'm a professional.
Catwoman's lair.
I'm doing a professional show.
And you not once did he grab for his iPhone.
Not once.
He doesn't care.
Secure the iPhone is completely dry.
I know what's going on with my iPhone at all times.
This is supposed to be upstage, but clearly...
If my iPhone were a baby, it would live to adulthood.
Speaking of cheesy animation, though, I went to see the frog princess, Princess and the Frog.
Oh, you didn't like going back to the 2D? Well, you know, I don't mind 2D. I went to see the Frog Princess, Princess and the Frog. Oh, you didn't like going back to the
2D? Well, you know, I don't mind
2D. I enjoy it. But
I don't understand 3D. It's not 3D.
Anyway, I want to see a 4D movie
that goes into my brain
in time and changes
my opinions.
Why not 5 or 6D?
I'd like to. Suddenly we all turn
to liquid and gel into a globe and then spin.
That would be great.
While we're watching the movie from the inside out.
7D, we're actually in the film trying to escape it while it's being shown.
8D is when...
All the while, I just want to get cast in it.
That's all you're all about.
Whereas I try and avoid being cast in anything.
That is what I try to do.
How are you doing so far? Excellent.
100%. Perfect. I'm just
knocking it out of the park. Batting
1%. You were in Where the Wild
Things Are, directed by Ato Magoian.
Were you? Yeah, I was.
What was it called again?
Not Where the Wild Things Are.
That's not even close, is it?
It's kind of close. There's a W word in it.
Yeah, it's called What Lies Beneath,
which is Where the Wild Things Are Beneath.
Not even close there.
It was called What Lies Beneath?
Are you sure?
What Lies Beneath?
I thought that was the Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer movie.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh.
That's a horror film.
Jeez, I did the same thing during an interview when I was talking about the movie.
Yeah, yeah.
What Lies Beneath is...
What Lies Beneath is one where she's in the bathtub drowned.
Yeah, it's a Mechis director.
What is the other one?
Oh, my God.
What's Beneath the Surface.
Where the Truth Lies.
Where the Truth Lies.
Love that movie.
Boom.
It was so good.
Marv.
Yeah, I really blew that.
Where the Truth Lies.
Oh, good movie.
Animation is shit in that.
I love it when a non-stoned individual
is correcting a stoned individual
and then I get to turn the tables.
It's like a double win.
But both of us are still wrong.
Both of us are still wrong.
Do you understand? It's Christmas, okay?
There are kids out there who are going to be wrong all the time.
But do they know it's Christmas time at all?
It's Christmas time.
There's no need to be afraid.
At Christmas time.
Let it love and replenish pain. I need to be free at Christmas time
Let it love me banish pain
but in our world
of plenty
we can spread a song
of joy
I'm telling you why
Let it say you
prayer
prayer for the other ones.
At Christmas time.
And so this is Christmas.
But when you're having fun.
Okay, now you guys.
Oh, Doug.
Damn it.
I always hope that Sean will sing when he's on the podcast.
No.
And you often come through.
Well, I sang the song for What Lies Bedeath.
For that movie.
She's in the tub.
She's in the tub.
He drowned her in the tub.
Harrison Ford, he drowned her in the tub.
He drowned her in the tub.
Now he's going to drown you in the motherfucking tub.
That was classic.
Yeah.
Can we get a copy of that?
The world has a copy of it.
Yeah, if you know how to download podcasts on iTunes, then you can listen to that.
Can I get a copy of it?
That's what I always say
My podcasters say no
Holiday movies
I love movies
So what's the deal?
Are there any movies about Boxing Day in Canada?
Yeah, there's
Billy the Boxing Day Cat
There's amazing sales Amazing sales Yeah, there's Billy the Boxing Day Cat.
There's amazing sales.
Amazing sales.
But Billy has already spent all his money.
And so he hangs around the Boxing Day sales hoping, praying that he can get his mother, who's dying of feline leukemia, a box to shit in.
I was hoping it was feline AIDS.
Oh, well, you know,
they're dirty, aren't they?
What would you hope for feline AIDS?
I don't know. Darker.
It is a little bit darker.
But what's your... Do you have a favorite
Christmas movie to watch, especially with your
child, kids?
All of the early animated...
Your three children?
Your three beautiful children?
Rankin-Bass. There's four in there?
Wait, there's four children in there?
One, two, three... Oh, I thought one of them was the mailman.
No, that's just where the kids
came from.
Oh.
Lord, I don't understand
who is telling us that.
Is that the mailman?
That's my real voice.
Are you chatting
like the mailman?
What do you watch
with the family?
All of the classic.
The Grinch
and the Heatmiser
and all that.
I love the Rankin-Bass ones.
Yes, the Rankin-Bass
is the greatest ones, right?
Yeah.
Go ahead and do a number from that.
He's Mr. Heatmiser.
He's Mr. Sun.
He's Mr. Heatmiser.
He's Mr. 101.
Friends call him Heatmiser.
Whatever I touch seems to melt in my clutch.
Hey!
He's too much.
Bum, bum, bum, bum.
Hi, Mr. Cold Miser.
All right, that's enough.
That's enough.
I love those, but I always, you know, the thing is, we have to see what you call that.
Don't you think Heat Miser steals a little of the thunder before Cold Miser comes out?
Cold Miser comes first. Cold Miser first? Yeah, he steals it from Heat Miser, because Heat Miser steals a little of the thunder before Coldmeister comes out? Coldmeiser comes first.
Coldmeiser's first?
Yeah, he steals it from Heatmiser.
Because Heatmiser has the same fucking song.
Pretty much.
And they have a really big time.
It's like, hi, mister.
Same song as the last guy you saw.
It's amazing, though.
But Wallace Shawn, not Wallace Shawn, Dick Shawn is the Heatmiser.
It's awesome.
Dick Shawn.
And they did another one.
Yeah, they did a recent one, Miser Brothers Christmas. Yes. It was not good. A retreat. It's awesome. Dick Shawn. They did another one. Yeah, they did a recent one.
Miser Brothers Christmas.
Yes.
It was not good.
A retreat.
Part of the charm
of those movies
is how weirdly
antique-y they look.
Yeah.
You know?
And they're just like puppets
and their weird mouth movements
and how jerky they are
and stuff.
It's like me
when I'm drunk and angry.
But I love those. And me when I'm not.
Santa Claus is coming to town
with the voice of Orson Bean
as the
Santa Claus and
what's his name? Fred Astaire is the postman.
He's the postman who narrates the tale.
It's so good.
And Burl Ives. Burl Ives, come on.
I love that shit. And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a holly jolly Christmas.
You know he was a big deal when they made it,
because he's got like four fucking numbers,
and he is a character not in the story.
You know what I mean?
He's like silver and gold,
and nobody comes over and goes,
hey, this is about a reindeer,
so shut the fuck up.
They're like, you're Burl Ives as a snowman.
Do whatever you want.
The only thing I remember from being a kid was the Norelco sleigh
that would go around oh yeah yeah yeah it's the same same style of animation
he's too much boom boom boom boom boom boom they go to see Mother Nature at the
end who sorts it out all right we got to play the Leonard Maltin game you guys oh
my god time already Leonard Maltin is a film critic I just say quickly you may know my favorite
movie I love it's one of life but
Christmas Carol I could watch any
version of it and I will weep really
really that's what I was just thinking
recently I was just thinking recently I
hope there's before I die I hope there's
a thousand more versions of Christmas
Carol the best one though is because
Alistair Simm the black and white one
well that's what I'm saying.
Why make any more?
Why not just stick with that one?
I've lost myself.
I've changed.
You like any version of it, apparently.
What about The Muppets?
The Muppets is great.
What about if they did it in Fraggle Rock?
Did you ever see Henry Winkler?
What if the Smurfs did it?
What if Matthew McConaughey did it
I think he did
Even better all on the beach
All on the beach
That's right
Sorry it's time for Leonard Maltin
Let's play the Leonard Maltin game
I go back and forth
Between the two of you
Bidding on how many names
How many character acting names it takes you to name
the movie in question.
And there's always a theme.
And the theme in this particular case
is...
This is going to be Christmas movies.
Good! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chevy Chase. Elton John.
You guys are both sort of correct.
Chevy Chase and Elton John. We have to pick people in the audience that you're playing for,
and I always like to pick people that are sitting very close to me.
So, hello, would you like to participate in this?
All right, what's your name?
Garrett.
All right, and how about you?
Would you like to play?
Sure, what's your name?
Erica.
Erica?
All right, Garrett, Sean is playing for you.
So good luck with that.
And Dave is playing for...
Erica.
Erica.
Garrett.
I apologize.
You guys remember their names.
Erica with a C.
Garrett and Erica.
With a C.
Garrett and Erica.
The girls way.
The prizes are just amazing, so don't worry.
Don't put pressure on you guys. The prizes are we sit, so don't worry. The prizes are
we sit on your lap and sing
parts of Christmas carols.
Heat miser. They'll sing some heat miser.
What is your favorite Christmas carol?
My favorite Christmas carol
is probably...
Jeez.
I really like The Christmas
Waltz by Frank Snatchers, version
of that. Or actually White Christmas probably is my favorite song.
Is that all right with you?
I love it.
All right, Sean Cullen.
Would you like to play with a movie from 2003?
These are Christmas movies.
2003, 1988, or 1985?
1985.
Okay, 85.
Now this movie, I'll give you some clues. or 1985? 1985. Okay, 85.
Now this movie,
I'll give you some clues.
Leonard Mullen gave it two and a half stars.
Out of how many?
Out of 75.
Jesus.
It's pretty good.
It's good.
It's pretty good.
There are eight character actors,
or eight actors I should say,
in the movie
from, let's say, the year again,
1985.
How many names do you think you can get it in
out of eight names? How many do you think you need?
Oh, jeez. Let's go three.
Three names. That's intense.
So now, Dave,
you could say name that movie, or you can
bid fewer names.
Oh, name the movie. I would say name the movie.
I think you're in trouble, unless you're really good with years.
I don't know.
I didn't realize that
I didn't understand the game quite so well.
So now I put myself in a position.
You know what I'm thinking?
Or imposition. I'm competing for
strangers.
Aren't we all? Are you with Erica or
Garrett? Erica. Okay.
I'm with Garricka.
Everybody wins.
There really are prizes for both.
One's not really worth it.
So you take the pressure off right now.
That's great.
Erica, I'll give you a 20.
All right.
The first name that's listed here are the eight names of the actors in this movie.
I have a question.
I don't weigh in until
he gets the three.
You just sit back. If he misses it, you get
the point. If he gets
it, you lose the point.
First person
to two wins. I'm going to barf.
Carrie
Kay Heim.
I don't even know if I'm pronouncing it right.
Christian Fitzpatrick. Pretty. I don't even know if I'm pronouncing it right. Christian Fitzpatrick.
Jesus.
Pretty sure I nailed that one.
And Jeffrey Kramer.
Is it A Christmas Story?
No, but that's a good guess.
That's a very good guess, because it is a Christmas-themed movie.
From around, when was Christmas Story?
It was like early 80s.
So this was 85? Let me give you the rest of the names. Somebody yell it out if you know it. from around, when was Christmas Story? It was like early 80s.
