Doug Hates Candy Rappers Hey everybody
My name is Doug and I love movies
I had a feeling that it would be off a little bit
And I have a theory, I think it's the altitude
We're coming to you once again from Comedy Works
in Denver, Colorado
on Mother's Day.
I've got one of the bigger prize bags.
I mean, the bag itself,
to begin with,
is already bigger
than a typical bag, but then
it's also so full
of stuff.
I dare to say that the person
that wins tonight
walking home with this will feel like
the opposite of a winner.
Because it is so cumbersome.
It's Benedict Cumbersome.
Did I mention it's Sunday, May 10th, 2015?
Do we have any...
It's Mother's Day,
so I'd like to ask
if there's any mothers here today.
And of all the moms
that just shouted out,
was it your idea to be here?
So your children
didn't drag you here?
You dragged your children here?
Yeah?
I'm just hoping
that there aren't families
that listen to this show together.
Maybe a young couple, that's okay.
Maybe around an infant.
But once they start to grow up,
I'd say it's probably not a
child and parent affair.
The lady, what is that you got on there?
A nice fuchsia?
Nice Mother's Day fuchsia nice mother's day fuchsia and uh
are you uh
so that's your kid sitting next to you
yeah
childish
no you're not
it's your husband.
Okay.
It's just the lighting is weird.
You have your own light on you like you're a part of the show.
And then he's in the darkness, so...
He's in the shadows.
Yeah, what does he do in the shadows?
So you're just husband, you have a kid
though? Two!
But they're at home.
Yeah, you're like, it's mommy's day.
She's gonna go get
drunk in a basement I guess I don't need to finish that sentence
that's the worst part of it
do you smoke weed too?
okay
you're a great mom yeah you are a great mom.
Yeah, you are a great mom.
Unfortunately,
social services will be in touch.
Because some people have been fucked by that here in Denver
and Colorado,
where they threaten to take your kid away if you have a job that's marijuana-related.
Yeah, like a marijuana critic.
Can't be a marijuana critic if you have kids.
But we'll talk more about that later.
marijuana critic if you have kids.
But we'll talk more about that later.
When we get to
pot topics.
So you're representing
all the moms here today.
And so I'd like
to ask you one question.
What was the last movie that you saw?
Don't look at your
son, husband.
He cannot help you.
The Watch?
The Vince Vaughn movie?
That was a weird-ass movie.
Such weird timing for that movie,
because, yeah, because it came out
at a time when a neighborhood watch guy killed a kid.
So then they changed it to just The Watch.
Maybe people would think it was just about
a stakeout or a Seiko, yes?
Did you like it?
She liked it!
Hey, Mikey!
So that movie didn't get a fair shot
in the marketplace is what I'm saying.
There was a motion picture
called Space Camp
that
that was a motion picture called Space Camp that was a big 20th Century Fox summer movie.
And it came out, the release date was four or five weeks after the shuttle exploded.
Yeah, so that wasn't good timing.
A bunch of people in real life die in a... in an outer space mission,
and then a movie a few weeks later
sends some children into space.
On Accident.
Leif Phoenix was the star of that film.
Grew up to be better known as Joaquin.
Because he was like,
I can't be called Leif, I need a serious name.
Because he was like, I can't be called Leaf.
I need a serious name.
Makes you wonder what river would have changed his to eventually.
From now on, call me Raul Phoenix.
I'm glad enough time has gone by that we can laugh about
the sad death of River Phoenix
who's coming to the
Benson movie interruption tonight in Littleton
drive safely we got plenty of time
this is about a two hour window to
you know get over there and get high
again
because we're gonna to watch Junior.
Was that a bad idea? These movie interruption shows, they kind of sell out or don't based
on the movie that I'm showing. And last year we did Mrs. Doubtfire and the timing was better on that.
Fortunately, Robin was still alive.
I would never make fun of any of his movies
now. That's too sad.
But
that thing sold out right away because everybody loves
Mrs. Doubtfire, but I think nobody likes
Junior.
Just the idea of having to sit through it, even with way, because everybody loves Mrs. Doubtfire, but I think nobody likes Junior. And just
the idea of having to sit through it. Even with professional comedians making jokes,
they're just kind of... I mean, people are coming, obviously. Some of you cheered when
I said, who's coming? But the rest of you are going to enjoy the rest of your evening.
I just thought it'd be funny
people bring their mom to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger
be pregnant.
It's the dumbest movie.
It's like they made twins with Danny DeVito
and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the only joke
in that entire movie was that
they were twins.
And then they're like, we gotta get these two back
together again.
But why would they be?
What could the story be?
I was hoping when I saw it the first time,
I was hoping Danny DeVito was the baby.
It's kind of a look who's talking kind of thing.
Where the first pregnant man has a talking baby in his stomach.
I can't wait to get out of here!
That was the best Danny DeVito I could do.
Last minute and all, you know.
90 minutes later and Doug still didn't bring the guest out.
Proof once again that it is possible to get too high.
I'm excited to say that the album I recorded at this very club,
Comedy Works,
promotional tool,
will be available on iTunes and at DouglasMovies.com on June 9th.
Yeah.
Fast turnaround from April 20.
Yeah, there's a lot of topical...
You know, I was worried that by June 9th
Bill Cosby wouldn't be a rapist anymore.
So you really got to get that material out fast.
I think rape jokes are really inappropriate and terrible,
just like the thing that they're jokes about.
But that was a pretty good one as rape jokes go douglas movies is back at
UCB in Los Angeles this Tuesday May 12th at 7 o'clock sharp free to get in I'm
doing stand-up at the vinyl music hall on in Pensacola Florida this Thursday
May 14th I'm gonna be at Moe's Original Barbecue. Yeah, it might be one of the first times I've played a restaurant
in Mobile, Alabama on Monday, May 18th.
Yeah, I never really...
Saying that whole sentence out loud...
I never really... Saying that whole sentence out loud...
It's not feeling like a great idea anymore.
They got stoners in Alabama.
It'll be fine.
And Doug Loves Movies is going to be back
at the Hyenas Comedy Club in Dallas
on Wednesday, May 20th.
Now it's time for Tweet Relief, tweets about movies.
DJ, at DJ on the floor, tweeted,
I should have clarified with my wife, my wife,
when she said,
I got us tickers, tickers?
Honey, I got us some tickers.
I'm so tired of that minion over there just staring at me.
It's gigantic eyeball.
Yeah, show everybody.
Now it's time for tweet relief.
I should have clarified with my wife. My wife. Now it's time for Tweet Relief.
I should have clarified with my wife, my wife.
When she said,
I got us tickets to age of whatever.
Hashtag not Avengers.
This has been...
Tweet Relief. Married Mix-Up Edition. been sweet relief married mix-up
edition.
Alright, I've been talking forever.
We got two first-timers on the
panel today, and
one of your favorites,
so let's get them out here right now.
Please give a big, warm welcome, Denver,
to Ricardo Baca,
Julian McCullough, and Jeff Tate.
Hey, guys. I almost said, hey, guys.
I almost said, hey, everybody.
Hey, all three of you.
Ricardo Baca, you guys.
One of the best... One of the best stand-ups in the country.
Star of many films.
No.
Ricardo, for those of you who don't know,
but you should know if you live here,
is, what's your title?
Editor-in-chief?
Marijuana editor.
Marijuana editor?
I'm the weed editor at the Denver Post.
And, yeah, and you oversee the Cannabist,
which is the Denver Post's
just everything about weed section.
Exactly, yeah.
It's the Denver Post's,
they made an all-weed vertical called the Cannabist,
and, yeah, we had it up with strain reviews
and breaking news and features,
and, yeah, it's fun.
It's called a vertical?
Yeah, I think that's probably... I've never heard that expression before. I think it's probably media speak, news and features. It's called a vertical? Yeah.
I've never heard that expression before.
I think it's probably media speak, so I apologize
for that.
Vertical means that it's on the web?
A vertical means like...
You scroll it up, right? Isn't that what you mean?
No?
It's its own site.
It's not denverpost.com slash cannabis.
It's thecannabis.co
but Denver Post
is behind it
and is willing
to admit it
loud and proud
yeah
that's my point
is that
you guys did it
I mean
you're the first
right
it's not
happening anywhere else yet
yeah you know
I've gotten lots of
calls and emails
from people at other daily newspapers
and television
stations from throughout the country, and they're like,
oh yeah, I'm in Cincinnati, Anchorage,
Portland, and I'm about to get your
beat, and it's fun because
it's now our beat. It really is
an assortment of individuals,
but it's been fun and strange,
and yeah, we're the only person,
we're the only media entity with a marijuana editor. Yes! And it's been fun and strange and yeah, we're the only person, we're the only media entity with a marijuana editor.
Yes.
And it's you.
And I came at you through,
I saw the documentary called Rolling Papers
at South by Southwest,
which basically, pardon the expression,
chronicles the, you know,
essentially the first year of legalization here in Colorado
and also the existence of your job and the cannabis.
Yeah, exactly.
Rolling Papers, it just,
they filmed us from Januaryuary 1st through december 31st and it debuted at uh south by southwest where doug saw it and it sold actually
an hour after its world premiere there you go so it's going to open in theaters this fall nice
we'll have you back on again around that time. But it's really interesting how, for the most part,
nothing bad has happened over the course of the year.
But the one thing that I was talking about earlier
is that there's a woman highlighted in the movie
who gets a job as a marijuana critic
and then has trouble with the fact that she has a kid
and they threaten to take the kid away.
It's true, yeah, that was an interesting piece of the story, you know. One of the first two
marijuana critics I hired was Brittany Driver, and she's incredibly talented and bright,
and she also is a parent. She, you know, she and her husband, her husband cooks at Root Down,
if you guys have ever been there. So good people.
And then she ultimately kind of tailed off doing the marijuana criticism,
and now she writes a parenting column.
But it's pot and parenting,
because it's something you have to consider in a modern era, right?
Like, how are you a responsible parent
while also using this newly legal substance in a community
where the child protective
services aren't quite ready
to be comfortable
with this new legality. They're not comfortable
with chill parents.
That's
Julian McCullough, everybody!
Another first-time guest
on the program.
Yes.
I just want to say,
it's funny that like it's news that you,
it's like great that you're the first marijuana editor,
but do you ever get annoyed that people treat you like,
like it's like,
look,
even though he's high,
look what he can do.
Like,
it's like,
you know what I mean?
It's like you're a dog that can catch a football or something.
Do you ever feel like that? or am I being an asshole?
You know, no, I think that's very funny because I don't.
You're like Air Bud.
He really is. He really is.
That's totally how everybody feels about my critics,
because they do get high, they do write about it, and they are some of the most productive people I've ever met in my life.
Awesome.
You have to be a great writer to write about weed strains.
Yeah.
To write reviews about weed, because my reviews would be like, I like it.
This one made me high.
Yeah.
Plus, there's probably no restriction that they only have to smoke weed, right?
They're probably like, the weed was great.
The Coke helped me write this article.
We take it very seriously.
Oh, right, right, right.
Sorry.
Not cool, Julian.
Not cool.
Sorry, sorry. Yeah. I mean, Julian. Not cool. Sorry, sorry.
Yeah.
I mean, Air Bud had a tremendous practice regimen that he stuck to.
We just met, and I'm the worst.
Okay, sorry.
And Jeff Tate is here, everybody.
Yay!
Afternoon, Jeff. Afternoon, Jeff.
Afternoon, everybody.
Yeah.
Jeff hosts the Afternoon Everybody
podcast. Yes, I do.
Where they dissect every episode
of My Two Dads.
Yep.
Wait, that's not it.
Which show is it?
It's Cheers.
Ah, yes.
Yeah, that's how...
I use Cheers as my baseline
for whenever I review pot.
Where it's like...
It'd be like,
this pot was so good,
it was like I hadn't seen
this episode before.
This pot was okay,
it's like I'd only seen it once.
This part was so good,
I thought Diane was great.
Like, that's how I...
How do you feel about Frasier?
Don't even get me started.
Julian, why did you step in that one?
I don't think I'm alone in saying
Frasier is superior show to Cheers.
Uh-oh.
I'm like a wrestling heel.
I'm kidding.
Well, then in that case,
don't listen to Afternoon, everybody.
Listen to Toss Salad and Scrambled Eggs The Frasier podcast
That I'm starting next week
I already have one
But we mostly just talk about tossing salad on it
And breakfast
My Frasier podcast
Is called Niles from Home.
Frazier sucks.
My problem with Frazier is there's things where his dad's like,
let's go to that sports bar.
And Frazier's like, why would I ever?
And meanwhile, 10 years, man.
Every day you went to a fucking sports bar.
And now you're being an asshole about it?
You can't even just say
no you got to be like why would i ever i don't know i never got it but you did why are you being
a dick about it now he's such a diane on the show he is exactly
niles is frazier and frazier is Diane and Diane sucked.
So there you go.
You can think
your Niles from home podcast
is great,
but we have beef now.
We have...
Well, look, Jeff,
I don't want to
overstep my bounds,
but I feel like
it's a little rude
to do your podcast
on Doug's podcast
right now.
I feel like now is a weird time to think your podcast on Doug's podcast right now. I feel like now
is a weird time
to think about
overstepping your bounds.
Anyway, I'm kidding.
Boss is the best show
that Frasier ever did.
I don't even know
his real name.
I just call him Frasier.
Kelsey Grammer.
Kelsey Grammer, that's it.
His boss. Sentence no one's
ever said.
He's bitchin'.
Ricardo Baca brought us some
lovely things for the prize bag.
Some lovely things. Yeah, you brought
these set of four
pint-sized glasses that say what on them?
It's Ride the Rockies.
The Denver Post sponsors this great ride across Colorado every year.
It's amazing.
Here you go.
So you got four of those glasses.
And don't worry, I also brought cool stuff.
Yeah.
What else is in there?
There's some rolling papers from the film Rolling Papers.
Very clever marketing tool.
Yeah, there's a mug from The Cannabis.
We have a show, so check it out.
It's like a talk show.
We're going to have Doug on next time he's in town.
Hopefully.
Why not?
Do we smoke weed before we do it?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
Sure.
For you, yes.
All right.
Then I'm in.
And what else did you put in there?
Is that it, Ricardo?
Yeah, I think that's it.
Okay.
And what did you put in the prize bag, Julian?
I put in, I was walking around Denver and I went to a bookstore.
And have you ever gone to a bookstore and you see a book and you're like, I'm definitely going to read this book.
And then you buy it.
And then five minutes later, you're like, I'm never going to read this book.
So I did that with my Elizabeth Warren biography.
There it is.
It's it's called it's called A Fighting Chance. I'll never know why it's called... It's called A Fighting Chance.
I'll never know why it's called that.
And, um...
She seems like a super nice lady,
and I think she's been on The Daily Show or something.
And I don't know what mind frame I was in
when I was like, this is definitely
something I'm going to read the whole thing.
So anyway, I'm giving it away to somebody
who might want to read it.
Buying that book and not reading it is a real Frasier movement.
Why is it every podcast I do, I'm the Frasier?
Why does that keep happening to me?
I don't know.
Maybe you should just step it up.
Maybe I should. So, okay the uh the other thing i brought this is near and dear to my
heart um i genuinely when i was uh like 13 through 17 um played magic the gathering like every day of
my life and i decided to buy a corset at barnes and today. It's a dual pack, so if you've never played before, you can just find a super cool friend.
And you get a deck, they get a deck, and then you just summon creatures and planes walk like a motherfucker.
And hopefully, you know what?
Start your own gathering today.
So that hopefully kicks off a friendship.
You know, my pot critic Jake Brown plays Magic the Gathering.
Next time you're in Denver, you might have to throw down with Jake.
I will.
And can I tell you, this Jake Brown character sounds like he has the best life in America.
He does.
Oh, I get high and write about it
and play magic all day.
I think I jerked off to your life
when I was 13.
I want a talented Mr. Ripley,
Jake Brown.
Just fucking kill him on a boat and take his life.
Is Jake here tonight?
He's at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival.
Of course he is!
In Portland, Oregon.
By the way, if you're going to murder somebody,
the worst thing you can do is tell everyone on a podcast
that you're going to murder that person first.
I should probably keep that to myself.
You could probably say it on your Niles podcast.
Yeah, that's got to be a safe place for confessions.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's my confession podcast,
Niles to Go Before I Sleep.
There's so much stuff in this bag, you guys.
We got my last CD.
I'm finally gonna stop giving those out soon.
When the new one comes out.
June 9th.
A scarf
from Hitman Glass.
This is...
That was a close one.
This is the popcorn
container I got. The plastic popcorn
container that I got at the
New York Spring Spectacular
Radio City Music Hall.
Pretty nice item.
It seals up pretty tight, so I think
if you want to put a bunch of weed in there.
I gotta warn you, a lot of the prizes
are weed related today.
Also,
something I'd only read if I was
really high.
Jeff brought a copy of the latest Jack Reacher novel.
Personal.
Personal.
This time it's personal.
It is.
He could say that about his book when they ask him.
Tell us about your new book.
This time it's personal.
And then that's the whole interview.
That's the whole thing.
Thanks for coming by, Jack Reacher guy.
That's the same slogan from Jaws 4.
Yeah?
This time it's personal.
Because the shark was personally mad
about the guy that killed his mom.
Yeah, he followed them around the world
to the Bahamas.
Yeah.
Because it was personal.
Hey, was there a scene
in that movie
where one of the guys
was like,
hold up,
that shark looked familiar.
Like,
do you see that shark
in the bushes?
He's been watching you
for a long time.
You don't think
that shark is following us,
do you?
I saw him at the airport.
He knocked on my hotel room door,
told me he was a candy gram.
Yeah.
I just saw something with a shark in it
and somebody made a joke about candy crammers.
We've got a Doug Loves Movies
t-shirt in the bag.
Somebody gave me a bunch of weed
in this really nice Tupperware container.
I'm giving you a lot of things to put your weed in.
Ricardo also brought a mug A mug, yeah
Are you really giving away a Tupperware container
That smells like weed?
Can I smell that Tupperware container?
Yeah, I would like to as well
Is this part of, like, criticism?
Like, if I smell this and I can, like, place the weed
You have to determine the weed's nose.
What?
Do you spin joints around like one of them asshole wine dudes?
This weed has got kind of a...
This weed's got kind of a oaky nose.
I think he cleaned it.
Oh, this weed smells like weed.
Doug's...
Yeah.
No, but it's also Tupperware.
It does not take on the smell of the thing that was inside of it
That's why it's good
To have Tupperware
Yeah, that just smelled like Tupperware
Right, because you can use it again
Alright, commercial for Tupperware
I'm trying to get some sponsors
Since I knew I could fly with this I'm trying to get some sponsors.
Since I knew I could fly with this to Colorado and nobody would hassle me
and I could give it away here on the show
and no one could get in trouble for having it,
a Cloud V vapor pen is going to go in the...
Ooh.
Some posters with my face on it.
Yeah.
Oh, it's that damn book again.
Doug, there's a lot of good ideas in that book.
Well, if you're not into books
and you don't want to read the books
and you win the prize bag today,
I'm also including a copy of Denver Magazine.
It's the winter 2015 issue.
And as you know, winter is gonna last
here until June, apparently.
Oh, and also
a box of tissues that I stole from the hotel.
And, uh, since I can
also do this, some weed
a guy gave me last night.
Ooh.
I like that it's in a food-to-go container.
That's really sweet.
Yeah, I believe he was the cook
of the restaurant I was eating in.
All right.
I think we're probably running late at this point.
I love that even though it's legal here,
you still get pot from cooks and restaurants.
Like, I live in Cincinnati, and it's not legal,
but that's where I get pot.
Like, it just doesn't matter where you go.
You go to any restaurant, ask a cook,
you'll get something.
Yeah.
Have you been to the movies lately, Jeff?
Yes, sir.
I've seen two of the biggest hits in the world.
Avengers, Age of Ultron.
And Paul Blart, Maul Blart 2.
Yep, I have seen both of those.
And they're great.
They average out to great.
Which one was funnier?
That's a real toss-up.
I don't know if you've ever seen it.
I know which one has the funnier title.
Right. The second one
Because Blart is a funny name
It's so funny that it's in the title
Yeah
But it's funny that they don't just call him Maul Blart
Wait they don't?
They don't
Oh is that what you said?
It's not Paul Blart Maul Blart?
No
Oh Well no I'm really glad that this has been corrected Paul Blart, Moe Blart? No.
Well, no, I'm really glad that this has been corrected
because I don't want to embarrass myself
when the third one comes out.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen a fat man on a Segway?
It is really funny.
Yeah.
It's all about weight distribution
and he has a lot of weight to distribute
on that Segway,
and he can't really do it.
And he's got a mustache, and his kid is mean,
and he's just inept.
Is it personal?
It's a perfect... I think Robert Towne wrote it.
It's a perfect movie.
Robert Towne.
Speaking of segues,
Julian, have you been to the movies lately?
I
have a two-year-old,
so I have not been to the movies recently, but
I did watch for the very first time
like three days ago, Magnolia
by Paul Thomas Haynes.
Wait, you have a two-year-old and you had time for Magnolia?
Yeah.
All three hours of Tom Cruise singing in the car?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was after...
I think she was sleeping.
She probably fell asleep at some point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That movie's very long.
It is. She started kindergarten during the movie.
That's what's called a dad joke.
Let me tell you, that's a long movie.
What is Magnolia about?
You've never seen it?
I've never seen it, no.
Holy shit, just watch it.
Yeah.
If you don't know what it's about
you're the perfect person to watch this movie
because the whole time you're going to be going
what the fuck
I didn't know what it was about
and I was already talking about it
I'm kidding
a shorter answer is what isn't it about
because it covers
it just covers everything
are there any
like fat people
on segways
you know what
yeah that movie sucked
no it's an intense movie
it gets
it gets so intense
towards the end
that you're like
I need to turn this off
for a second
you know
and take a break
he's so
he's so fat
that he can't stop eating
his food is hot and he keeps eating it and He's so fat that he can't stop eating. His food is hot, and he keeps
eating it, and it burns his mouth.
But he can't stop.
This Paul Blart man is
some
top-notch.
It turns out I watched the wrong movie this week.
Did you see the story,
though, about Paul Blart? About how
it almost had the perfect zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes
until some Australian film critic came along and gave it like a half star,
which totally screwed the film's zero rating.
And everybody now hates this film critic out of Australia.
I had to...
Do you know how hard it is to convince people you're an Australian film critic?
It's not that difficult. It's not that difficult.
It is not that difficult.
I swooped in, started a fake website.
Yeah.
By the way, like everybody from Australia, it was Paul Hogan.
That was Paul Hogan.
Have you been to the movies, Ricardo?
You know, the last time I went to the movie theater was with my pal,
and we were seeing a film that he thought was a re-release of something released in the 70s,
but it was really a new movie starring Al Pacino and maybe Amy Adams.
I don't even know what it was called.
It was called some dude's name.
Danny Collins?
Danny Collins.
And that was not a good movie.
So let me tell you what we've been watching at home
because my lady and I,
we've been totally crushing documentaries.
So Montage of Heck,
Citizen Four.
We watched the first two Paradise Losts
for our first time
because I never had HBO as a kid.
Holy shit.
So yeah.
You should see Eddie Murphy Raw.
How many...
I saw that one.
For the outfit alone, you gotta watch that.
But how many Paradise Lost movies are there at this point?
Four?
Three?
Three that I know of, yeah.
We've been looking for the third, but we have to find Amazon Prime.
Well, you know what I don't like about the third one is that's when they introduced the Ewoks.
So the series really kind of fell apart there for me.
All right.
What was the last movie I saw?
Oh, I watched Draft Day on HBO.
Oh, that's a great one!
Really?
No, it's the worst movie ever made!
I watched the whole thing.
I mean, I thought it was interesting,
but to me it was interesting that it was very similar to Moneyball,
even though it was a different sport,
but such different movies.
Like, Draft Day is just a slick Hollywood old-school production, you know?
Yeah.
And Moneyball is interesting.
But it's because...
Well, Moneyball, like, they had some actual facts they had to use,
like, from real life.
Oh, yeah, everything's made up in Draft Day, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like somebody who never, ever saw Draft Day wrote a movie about Draft Day.
And they were like, this is probably the rules to football.
Yeah, yeah, no.
No, I feel like everyone should have to have done the thing they wrote a movie about before they write it.
Like, I know for a fact
that this guy used to be
a security guard in a mall.
Everything rings true.
I forgot to mention also,
I brought a bottle of water
from my hotel
in case the person
carrying around this bag
gets caught in mouth.
And this is the part of the show where I say...
Let the games begin, don't you know?
Gentlemen, I need you
to pick a name tag.
We got lots of good name tags today.
Lots of motherfucking name tags on Mother's Day.
So pick who you want to play for.
And while you do that, we'll do this.
We'll be right back.

We're back. What about this minion over here? Why didn't anybody pick that giant minion?
It's creeping me out big time.
It really is. For the listeners, it's one of those one-eyed minions where he's just got the one eye
in the middle of his stupid face.
I like the
minions, though. You know what? Can I
change? Yeah, you can. I need to take
that minion because I don't want to look at it
anymore. Is that too mean?
All right, give him back.
Give him back. I thought it was
the... Fuck you!
All right. Whoa, whoa.
Am I doing this right?
But is your name Minion?
Like, why?
Yeah, what's your pun?
He just likes the Minions,
so he brought a big one.
Did you win that at a carnival?
Like a ring toss or something?
Which game?
Oh.
A shooting game.
You had to win a few times.
You wanted that minion bad.
I think it's super cool of a guy
to bring a huge eyeball
to a room full of high people.
Is your dick in it right now?
Is it like, did you cut a hole out?
Anyway, thanks for trying with that stupid thing.
Better luck next time.
Somebody out in the audience was nice enough
to also contribute to the prize bag.
Two tickets to the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra.
Yeah.
You know who'd want to go there?
Frazier.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe he'll take you.
$20 ticket, but children get in free.
And I think what's cool about the orchestra, the Philharmonic, if I'm not, if I think I think I'm right, you can actually like tweet.
They have tweeting areas in there.
If I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but sections where you can sit and tweet.
Yes.
Sections that are like, OK, for social.
I'd want to do something during the goddamn Philharmonic.
Like you live tweet theweet the orchestra, like,
still awake, hashtag not sleepy.
Where are the drums?
When are they going to play that dang old song from Star Wars?
Hashtag sleepy now.
Who are you playing for, Jeff?
I'm playing for Paula.
The devil wears Paula.
And she drew,
she drew a winter boot on it and snow
because it's only May 10th
in Denver
where it was,
it's snowing
and I felt weird
that I was in the same country
I had been in the day,
like that morning.
I flew in yesterday
from America
to here
and then it was snowing.
Like I wasn't in America anymore.
They get it till
June here now, apparently.
What's that? Snows all the way till June
here, like annually now.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's probably not
anything behind it there's
probably like no no reason oh yeah nothing to worry about there's no hard science you can't
prove anything everything's fine i mean if you're gonna believe what a scientist tells you then
you're just a fucking sheep anyway yeah think for yourself and come to the conclusions you want
there to be already you know who has a lot to say about this topic? Elizabeth Warren.
Right, right.
Who are you playing for, Julian?
How would you know, Julian?
Yeah, I don't know. I read the back of it.
Aubretle Juice.
I'm assuming your name is Aubrey,
right? Not Edel.
Aubretle Juice.
It's of all the movies I saw in the crowd,
Beetlejuice is my favorite.
So that's why I picked it.
And also Aubrey looks like she could use some excitement.
If you're listening at home,
she's like hugging herself and kind of shy.
Yeah, yeah. And taking a swipe at her is a real crazy thing hugging herself and kind of shy. Yeah, yeah.
I take a swipe at her.
It is cold in here.
No, no, no.
I'm saying.
I'm saying, yeah, I'm kind of a dick.
But I'm rooting for you, Aubrey.
You're wearing a Smith shirt.
You look just as introverted and sad as she does.
You look just as introverted and sad as she does.
Maybe I relate to her on a level I don't feel comfortable talking about.
And that's why I picked her.
And thanks for bringing it up in front of all these people, Jeff.
Hey, you started it.
You didn't... Ricardo.
No one could see her.
She looks fucking...
She's the happiest person here.
She has the sweetest eyes
in the whole crowd.
She has very sweet eyes.
You know, you guys
keep making this better.
She has the sweetest eyes.
Oh, also, she weighs 500 pounds No she's very nice
She looks
To me
I was gonna make a joke
About how she's gonna run off
And solve a mystery
With Scooby in the game
She looks just like Fred
No She doesn't look like Fred Not No, she doesn't look like Fred.
Not at all.
She doesn't look like Freddie Prinze Jr.
Who are you playing for, Ricardo?
I am playing for Mike,
and Mike has a series of very authentic-looking Walmart badges
plus a pre-roll of Sour Diesel
tacked onto this Star Wars Boba Fett-style character.
Yeah, and it gets even better,
because he put a shithead on the back,
on Boba Fett's butt.
So I'm going to hang on to that,
so you don't accidentally read it.
Is there a shithead on the back of yours, Julian?
Yeah.
Don't read it out loud.
Okay.
Don't say it.
Got it.
Just want to make sure it's there.
It is.
I figured it would be.
She knows what she's doing.
Yeah, Aubrey's not going to let us down.
Nuh-uh.
But this Boba Fett is saying,
Doug's no good to me dead.
I don't know why he sounded like,
I don't know what voice I was doing there,
but I was trying to do a Boba Fett.
Do you do a Boba Fett impression, Jeff?
No.
Hey, I'm Boba Fett.
Yeah.
Boba Fett, Molfett.
Hey, what are you fucking guys doing?
I'm Boba Fett. Yeah. I'm, what are you fucking guys doing? I'm Boba Fett
I'm from Star Trek or whatever
I'm from space
That's why I look cool
I don't know why there's a cape and a rocket pack
But I'm Boba Fett
I just remember there was such a big build up
For Boba Fett
Like he had his own figure
At Burger King before the character was even introduced
In the movies.
And then when he showed up, his voice just sounded like, hey, what's going on?
Like, he just has kind of an interesting voice, but it's not like, you know,
I thought he'd be like Darth Vader and all the guys in the helmets would sound all deep and scary.
He's worth a lot to me.
Well, nice job picking the name tags
and nice job making name tags, everybody.
Yeah, there's also a joint on this Boba Fett.
Yeah, he said that.
Oh, okay.
He used the word pre-rolled.
Oh, I didn't hear that.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't hear those The jingo
You know, the words that
What am I trying to say?
Lingo?
I don't know words
I'm from Cincinnati, we still just call it weed
Like we don't have any fancy terms for it
We're just like weed
And then some people are like, this is sativa and this is indica
But they're lying, they have no idea
And you're lying too They have no idea.
And you're lying too because the first place I ever smoked
a gravity bong was in Cincinnati.
So they got some innovators
there as well.
Oh, that fogger?
Yeah.
Yeah, that maniac
invented a way to smoke pot
somehow.
It involves freezing a cup
and that's it. that's all I know
Guys, that wasn't very funny
But it was exactly how Boba Fett sounds
First game we're going to play is called
Cluster Flicks
Amy Adams
It's dedicated to her
Rest in peace, Amy.
This is between the people on the stage only.
Have your mic ready there, Ricardo,
because you're going to want to shout out the answer
as soon as you know it.
All right.
Can you tell me the basic rules of this
before we get into Cluster?
Exactly what I was about to do.
Okay, thank you.
Ricardo, your instincts are excellent.
If I ever get on Celebrity Jeopardy, that's the first
question I'm going to ask Alex.
Hey, can you
talk me through what we're going to do here today?
This is the only game show someone could be on
where they could not have any idea
how it's played
like if you sprung Jeopardy on somebody
they would be like
whoa what the fuck
I gotta make them a question
how come that's
wait you have the answer
and I need a question
I thought you were the game show
yeah Leonard of All Games,
a little more complicated than Jeopardy, though, I think.
I think people are very confused
by it. But those same people
are confused by Jeopardy also.
There's just people that don't
care about trivia or games.
Those people exist. Let's
leave them be.
Keep them out of our lives.
I say we get them.
All right, Ricardo.
I'm going to name three movies.
One actor or actress is in all three of these motion pictures.
Then you're all going to guess who it might be.
If nobody gets it right, I'm going to start adding more titles until somebody gets it right
that's on this stage.
Your foot doesn't count, sir.
I was on the stage. I get to play.
I don't know why I gave you that voice.
I was on the stage.
You're really locking in that Boba Fett impression.
He's no good to me, Dad.
Hey, listen, I'm going to go jump in the Sarlacc pit.
Thanks for coming by, Boba. Hey, listen, I'm going to go jump in the Sarlacc pit. Thanks for coming by, Boba.
Hey, watch this.
You made him into Bubba Fett.
Yeah!
Yeah!
I think now's a good time for me to mention that I was zoning out
when you were talking about what this game is.
But don't worry about it. I'll figure it out.
Who was in all three of these movies?
Amy Adams!
Amy Adams!
Let the girl have her fun.
Or weird dude You should
Just get a clip of a girl yelling Amy Adams
And a whole crowd booing her
And send it to Amy Adams
I'm telling you
All this Amy Adams stuff that's going on in this show
When Amy Adams gets wind of it
She's going to be confused
Why does this guy with a movie podcast Amy Adams stuff that's going on in this show. When Amy Adams gets wind of it, she's going to be confused.
Why does this guy with a movie podcast hate me so much?
Yeah, Frasier's really going to come after us.
I don't even make movies anymore.
Who was in Red Belt, Who is Cletus Tout, and Chimpanzee.
James Belushi.
No.
Tim Allen.
Correct.
Whoa!
What?
Wow.
Is that a fucking guess?
That could have also been name three movies I've never heard of.
Yeah.
No, I think Red Belt is the movie where...
Oh, no, I'm thinking of a different movie,
but I still got Tim Allen.
Is Red Belt the movie where Tim Allen has to learn karate?
Or is that a movie?
Yeah.
Yeah, see, and then chimpanzee.
He narrated chimpanzee.
It's a nature documentary.
Because Tim Allen used to do this.
They're like, we got this thing about chimpanzees.
You guys think that dang old Tool Tim guy
would come in and do his oohs, ahhs on our movie?
That one was so hard, if Tim Allen was playing,
he'd go, ooh?
And then Velma would be on the case.
You just sounded like Scooby-Doo.
All right.
Tim Allen was in all three of those films.
And he was also in Zoom, Crazy on the Outside, The Six Wives of Henry LaFay, Big Trouble, Saggy Dog, For Rich or Poor, Juggle to Juggle, Joe Somebody.
And then I threw in Toy Story 2 just to make it fun.
Santa Claus 2.
Christmas with the Cranks.
Wild Hogs.
And
my favorite. Oh, can I guess?
Yes. Galaxy Quest. Correct.
Yes.
That's great.
He was so good in that, I was like like why didn't he do any other movies
and it turns out he did 94 other movies
that weren't as good as Galaxy Quest
he made 3 Santa Claus movies
and never sequeled up Galaxy Quest
like why not make another Galaxy Quest
that would be fun
cause it wasn't
it's a hit just because it's been around for a while
and everybody likes it, but it wasn't,
didn't make a ton of money.
And don't they all die at the end?
I don't think so, no.
I can't believe you guys are worried about what happens
in Galaxy Quest.
It's really great, man.
It is a good movie, though.
It's so funny.
Yeah. And it's a good movie, though. It's so funny. Yeah.
And it's a good idea.
What's his name?
Enrique Coletano.
Is that his name?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's really great in it.
And Monk is in it.
Shalhoub Rockwell.
It's really a murderous row of great character actors.
Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman.
Rickman, of course.
Oh, yeah, with that stupid hair.
He's got that fucking wig on.
My favorite line.
And he's all, yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
I love when he comes
Tim Allen goes, I told you not to come to my house, man.
Anyway,
you must have seen it recently to get that joke.
Is that really a line from the movie yeah he's all hung over and they come to his house because they're freaking out because
they have to go save the universe and he's hung over and he goes what i say about coming to my
house man and it's oh i'm gonna stop apparently it's hard to beat tim Allen. He's really good at it.
Well, also, you know, as stand-up comedians,
we understand how the check drop works,
and that just happened while you were telling that.
So that also kind of pulled the focus a little bit.
It couldn't have happened at a better time.
Let's play Last Man Stanton. Last Man Stanton.
A couple of people tweeted at me Suggestions for names to play today
And when you do that
I can't use that name
Because I don't want to show up and go
Okay, we're doing this name
Because I like to play along, you know
And it'll seem rigged if I decide
What name we're going to use
So, it's one of those people that tweeted at me in the house today?
Yeah?
What name did you say?
Oh, you didn't?
You said you have a good one,
and that you want to share it with us.
Let's do that.
This guy might be lying, but I don't care.
I'm just excited that he didn't tell it to me already.
Tom Cruise.
Yeah!
All right.
I swear we played him before
but I think it's worth a shot
and also we're in no hurry.
Dude's been in a lot
of fucking movies.
All right. So Jeff won that last game
So he gets to go first
And then I'll go second
And then Ricardo
And then Julian
And we just go around
Naming Tom Cruise movies
As soon as you can name one
Or name the wrong one
Or give Tom Cruise movie
The wrong title
Then you're out
Yeah I'm serious about this shit give Tom Cruise movie the wrong title, then you're out. Yeah.
I'm serious about this shit.
I'm high and I'm serious.
I'm in Denver, damn it.
Ooh, I just thought of a good,
I should shoot a special here
and call it Things to Do in Denver When You're Done.
Yeah.
Yeah. He's writing it down.
Shoot special called
Things to Do in Denver.
I don't have to write it down,
Ricardo.
We're recording all of this.
Hopefully.
What a journalist.
Jeff Tate.
Jack Reacher.
Of course you went with Jack Reacher.
Is there talk that they're going to make more of those?
Yeah, there's another one already in pre-production.
Nice.
I'm sorry, that's an industry term, like vertical.
Pre-production means they're thinking about making it.
It's kind of like pre-rolled.
Yeah.
But with movies instead of joints.
Yeah.
They're booking everybody's flights.
All right.
I'm going to go with...
Let's just knock out...
Get this argument out of the way
because it's still called in my book
Edge of Tomorrow.
Some people love calling it live, die,
repeat.
That's just a marketing thing.
Ricardo,
any movie with Tom Cruise in it.
You're a journalist.
I'm going big with risky business.
Yeah!
Julian?
Top gum. Just kidding. Because you said don't get it wrong. Top gum. Just kidding.
Because you said don't get it wrong.
Top gun.
Jeff?
Days of Thunder.
Eyes right shut.
Ricardo? Oh, is it my turn?
Did you think I was just commenting on how high I am?
Yeah
Oh okay
So what was yours?
Eyes wide shut
Okay
I am gonna go with Australia Oh, okay. So what was yours? Eyes wide shut. Okay. Oh, sure, okay.
I am going to go with Australia.
What?
He's in Australia?
Oh.
I never saw it, but...
You're out, you're out.
Julian.
Far and away.
Yes.
Maybe that's what I was thinking of.
Pretty similar, yeah.
Similar things.
Different countries, but both epic
sweeping sagas
of a man and Nicole Kidman.
So yeah, pretty similar.
Jeff is losing his shit
over there.
Jerry Maguire.
I'm going to keep going with Tom Cruise movies that describe how high I am.
Oblivion.
Magnolia. Magnolia.
Oh, it's not my turn.
Adoy.
No, it's my turn.
It was your turn.
Oh, yeah, it was.
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.
Oh.
That one was personal.
There's a guy here today
that took the
Ghost Protocol poster
and turned it into his name tag.
Where are you?
Right here.
You're here?
Yeah.
Right here.
And he changed it to
Mission Impossible
Anthony Protocol. Protocol.
Can't believe he didn't get pissed.
It's clearly Mission and Panthony Ghost Protocol.
That's better.
Born on the 4th of July.
Legend.
Jeff?
All the right moves.
Cocktail.
Oh.
Well, I got to say it now.
No, that's off the table.
Rain Man's out.
That's what I was going to say.
I really can't say that one?
Okay.
Yeah, that lady took it.
Mission Impossible original one?
Shorter, please.
Mission Impossible. Yes. please. Mission Impossible.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
It's even...
It's weird.
It's even Mission
colon
Impossible.
Well, they have...
The Mission Impossible series
was a huge flop.
Yeah.
Where he'd, like,
get those glasses and they'd be like,
go get milk.
He'd be like, oh, all right.
Is it my turn?
No, it's mine.
I haven't done anything yet.
Okay.
I was stolen with that fucking golden joke about...
Oh, okay.
Night and day.
Oh, wow.
Night and Day.
Oh, wow.
How about The Outsiders?
What do you think the other ones in that series were called, Julian?
Mission Impossible 2.
Whoa.
Shorter.
Shorter.
Mission Impossible 2.
Yeah, that's correct.
It was before the subtitles became all the rage. It was just called
Mission Impossible 2.
Mission Impossible 3.
It's not your turn.
Yeah, it is.
When do I go?
After me.
Wait, what?
After me.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Another thing you never see going down with Alex Trebek.
Wait, was it Mission Impossible 2 or MI2?
MI2.
Was it MI2?
Settle down.
I don't know. I don't know.
No, no, that's an Edge of Tomorrow situation where they changed the cover.
Like T2 also had a longer time.
Alright.
This guy needs to back off.
Did you say one, Jeff?
Yeah, Mission Impossible 3.
Or MI3 if we're doing
DVD releases.
I'm going to go with
Taps.
Vanilla Sky.
Oh, suddenly
somebody's back in
the game in a big way.
It's funny hearing
other titles sometimes
reminds you of titles.
You know what I mean? You hear one, it makes you think of the next one that came out, or obviously the sequel sometimes.
I just love that no matter how many of these you do, you still learn something new every time.
Tropic Thunder.
Tropic Thunder.
The Firm.
Oh, A Few Good Men.
Rock of Ages. Oh.
Damn.
Oh, fuck.
I can do this.
Fuck.
Oh, man.
I got one.
I got the movie, but I can't get the title right.
And it's blocking me on everything else.
That's what sucks is when you're fixated on one thing.
You get fucked.
I'm not asking you.
It's just on me.
And I'm going to say... Oh, yeah.
Goddamn. Oh, fuck.
I give up.
Julian?
The Last Samurai.
Yes.
Jeff?
Oh, shit.
Was that yours?
No.
Oh.
Anything, Jeff?
Yeah, Austin Powers, the spy who shagged me.
Oh!
Oh!
Nice one.
This is legit.
I'm confused because we were talking about it.
Did you officially say Jack Reacher?
Yeah, it was his first answer.
Oh, okay. All right.
It's the best one.
I know you did that one.
Anything? Anything?
God damn it.
Maybe that lady just yells Rain Man everywhere she goes.
What if that's his last movie that we haven't said?
No, it isn't.
I know.
You guys are fucking serious.
Anything?
I'm done.
I give up.
All right, Julian's out.
Interview with a vampire.
And what was the thing?
What was the legal drama with the word lions in it?
Lions to lambs. God damn it.
War of the worlds.
I can only think of secondhand lions.
Oh, yeah. That was terrible. War of the worlds. I can only think of secondhand lions. Oh, yeah.
That was terrible.
What else?
What else?
Going clear.
Going clear.
Going clear.
Going clear.
Minority report.
Minority report.
Oh, minority report.
Minority report, yeah.
I like the guy who said going clear.
Yeah, going clear.
Yeah, there you go. That does count.
I think someone said
outbreak.
I heard someone say outbreak.
What are you saying?
Valkyrie.
Valkyrie, yeah.
The color of money.
Collateral.
Collateral, yeah
Also a money term
There's a lot of them
He made a lot of movies, that guy
Rest in peace, Tom Cruise
Somebody just yelled going clear again
After we talked about how somebody yelled going clear.
Rain Man!
Oprah, that one time.
Now we have to say don't yell out Amy Adams or Rain Man.
I'll just add a new thing every time it happens.
All right, let's play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys.
Jeff won that last thingy.
Yay, Jeff.
Yay, Jeff.
So we'll start with Jeff on this thingy.
And then we'll switch the order around.
We'll go to Julie in second.
And then to Ricardo.
Aubrey, I want you to know I'm trying as hard as I can.
No hand singles either, Aubrey.
Aubrey or Audrey?
Aubrey.
Why didn't you do a little Shop of Horrors thing?
Yeah, right?
Right?
Me and that gay guy over there agree.
Sorry about that.
It's just a guess.
You get to pick between three categories, Jeff.
Would you like
celebrating a birthday today,
no one's favorite, Bono?
Hope he's recovering nicely
from his recent injuries.
But the films of Bono
or
what?
I thought of this category yesterday
I was very proud of myself
child abuse-y
and that's movies that have Jake Busey in them
because he's a child abuse-y
alright and Because he's a child abuse-y. All right.
And
at Drew Robbs
with a Z,
I think he's submitted stuff before,
suggested
Job at the Hut.
Job at the Hut.
And that's movies where there's pizza deliveries.
Which one of those would you like to play, Jeff?
Jake Busey.
All right.
Jake Busey's been in some movies.
Would you like a Jake Busey movie
from 1996, 1997, or 2004?
And when I say Jake Busey movie,
it's important to keep in mind
he's probably never been
the top-billed person
in a movie.
I could be wrong.
Which one of those years
do you like, Jeff?
97.
Okay.
Three stars
for Mr. Maltin
for this movie.
It's 150 minutes long.
Just saying, that's kind of long.
It's two and a half hours.
It's based on a novel.
And he also says,
he also calls this movie
passionate and intelligent.
And he lists, yeah,
and somehow Jake Busey is in it.
He's a perfectly good actor.
I don't know why I'm being mean to him.
Leonard lists 12 names.
How many names can you get it in, Jeff?
12.
Good opening bit.
Julian McCullough.
Ooh, yeah.
10.
He says 10 names, Ricardo.
I'll go 9. Jeff. Ten. He says ten names, Ricardo. I'll go nine.
Jeff.
Eight.
Julian.
I'll go down to six.
Ah, Ricky!
I'm going to let Julian go down to six.
All right, you get six. All right.
You get six names, Julian.
Reading from the bottom of the list up,
the six names are,
and I'll give you the clues again
if you need them after you hear the six names.
Jake Busey.
That can't count.
That can't count as a name.
Rob Lowe.
Rob Lowe.
Jeffrey Blake.
Angela Bassett.
David Morse.
And William Fichtner.
Good old Fichtner.
There's an actor I'd like to get on this show sometime.
Willie Ficht.
He's been in tons of movies.
What's the worst that could happen?
Now, this one is passionate and intelligent.
Mm-hmm.
Based on a novel.
Uh-huh.
150 minutes.
Three stars from Letter, 1997.
Jake Busey is the 12th billed person.
Strange Days?
In the film.
That is incorrect, but I appreciate it wasn't a terrible answer.
Jeff?
Is it Contact?
It's Contact!
Ricardo is on the board with one point.
I love that you can score by doing nothing.
Yeah. That's great.
No, that's...
I like games where anybody can win.
It's very exciting.
Like, you know, just going into the game,
everybody thought Jeff was probably going to win this thing because you guys haven't played before. It's very exciting Like you know Just going into the game Everybody thought
Jeff was probably
Going to win this thing
Because you guys
Haven't played before
And you know
You're playing for people
In the audience
So I want them to feel
Like they have a chance
I'm desperately trying
To make Aubrey feel
Like she has a chance
Well you get to pick
The next category Julian
Okay
And then we will go
To Ricardo
And then to Jeff
Okay Why does he get a pick?
Because, are you really asking me this?
I was left out of that skirmish.
Oh, you were?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, so you do get to go first.
Whose podcast is this?
Yeah, seriously, let's go back to talking about Cheers.
No, Jeff gets to go.
Okay.
First, again, and pick a category between.
But then it will go to Ricardo this time,
because we do change the order each round.
And Jeff gets to choose between Valentine's Dre,
that's a romantic movie that's got a hip hop artist in it
I mean most movies have hip hop artists
in them these days
so that doesn't narrow it down too much
Wanna Do Some Nines
is movies exclusively
from 1999
or I think we're going to need a bigger coat.
Films where someone is frozen.
Jeff?
1999.
Okay.
The year is 1999.
1999.
Leonard gives this movie three stars.
He says about this film that...
He says it was followed by a sequel.
And he also says that this movie, not a lot of heart.
Yeah, it doesn't have a lot of heart.
It was followed by a sequel.
And he lists 14 names.
How many names can you get in Jeff Tate?
12.
Ricardo?
Eleven?
Yeah, sure.
Julian?
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
I'll challenge him on eight.
Okay.
I'll challenge him on eight.
Okay.
You get eight names,
and if you name the movie correctly after I say these eight names,
you are our winner.
Yeah.
What's the name of the Boba Fett guy, Mike?
Mike.
Mike, all right.
Mike's going to win.
How you doing, Mike?
Mike is in the crapper?
Real quick, switch to the minion.
How sad would that be
if he comes back from the bathroom
and Boba Fett's in his seat?
The show's over.
Everyone's gone.
He's been retired
Yeah
Why is it
Why is it taking so long
Your eight names
Are
Sophia Coppola
Brian Blessed
Ahmed Best
Ray Park
Hugh
Quarshie I want to say
Ian McDiarmid
Terrence Stamp
and Pernilla August
what's the name of this movie from 1999
alright from 1999? Hmm. All right.
Can you think of any movies
that were from 1999?
That was the year
I graduated college,
and this is a totally
precarious guess,
but I'll go with
Only Because of the First Name
you read.
Lost in Translation?
Did she do a...
I don't know. Did she do a cameo in that? Did she do a... I don't know.
Did she do a cameo in that?
Did she do a cameo?
No.
I don't even know
what she fucking did in this,
but it's Star Wars Episode I,
The Phantom Menace.
Sorry, Boba Fett.
1999.
Three stars from Leonard,
Mr. Generous.
Lacks heart, my ass ass but Ahmed Best is Jar Jar
so that's a giveaway name
and Ray Park was
Darth Maul
oh yeah
alright Julian's on the board
we got an interesting game
alright
Darfur
Jeff gets to pick the category again We got an interesting game. All right. Garfur.
Jeff gets to pick the category again.
It's Jeff's game.
We just live in it.
But then we're coming to you next, Julian, after that.
So be ready.
And Jeff gets to choose between Red Light Challenge.
That's movies where there's a chase scene involving a cab,
which tends to be a lot of chase scenes because somebody jumps in one and goes,
follow, or you know what I mean.
Follow that bird.
Yeah.
I saw that.
Cherub is the name of a category.
Strangely, nobody ever picks it.
That's movies that have a lap dance in them.
Chair rub.
And your third option,
and this is all random,
is a category we've been doing lately
called The Other Jeff Tate.
And it's movies that have
Queensryche on the soundtrack.
Fuck.
Like when you're watching a movie and a Queensryche song comes on,
do you perk up a little bit?
Yeah, I leave.
A guy with my...
I go, I am in the wrong movie, sir.
It appears that I've made a terrible mistake.
I will take a chair rub.
Okay.
This one is from 1999.
Strangely enough.
Two stars from Leonard
he says that this movie
is well cast
and he also says
it's a pay on
to a what the hell
lifestyle
a pay on
have you ever written the word pay on in an article
Ricardo
I've never used that word in an article, Ricardo?
I've never used that word in an article, no.
Yeah.
What about just in conversation?
Yeah, it's just a weird word.
Paean.
And he lists seven, ten, twelve names.
How many names can you get in it, Jeff?
What was after pay-on?
It's a pay-on for something?
To the what-the-hell lifestyle.
What-the-hell lifestyle.
Okay, I'll take all the names.
What was it, 12?
I already forgot.
That's why I said all.
He says 12, Julian.
Out of 12.
I feel kind of good about this one.
I'm going to go down to nine.
Wow.
Nine names.
He says he's feeling good about it.
Interesting.
Something you don't know about me is I live a what-the-hell lifestyle.
People who live the what-the-hell lifestyle
do not know what pay-on means.
That is true.
There's a good...
None of us know for sure what it means.
It could very well mean
this is the exact opposite
of a what-the-hell lifestyle.
And then you'd be like,
I've never seen that movie.
It's boring.
They live more of a what-the-heck lifestyle.
Julian says eight names, Ricardo.
Didn't I say nine?
Nine names, he says.
I got bored, so I took one off.
Just to mix it up a little.
He says nine out of 12.
I'm going to let him.
You're going to say name that movie, Julian?
Name that movie, Julian.
Bad move, Ricardo.
Fuck!
Okay, here's your nine names.
James Duvall.
Scott Wolfe.
Timothy Oliphant.
Jay Moore.
Breckin Meyer.
Jane Krakowski.
J.E. Freeman.
William Thickner.
Really?
And Taye Diggs.
Oh!
Diggs!
Welcome to Diggs Town!
Any idea, Julian?
Half of the people in this room know the answer.
I know.
Damn it.
I know what pay on means now.
I can't embarrass myself.
The Program?
Sure, that's a movie.
That's the name of a movie.
Picture Scott Wolf and Jay Moore as a couple.
Does that help?
No.
Picture Timothy Olyphant in The First Time You Ever Saw Him,
shirtless and hassling Katie Holmes
it's a very specific
first time
the movie's called
Go
Go
God damn it
and Ricardo
is our winner
Ricardo
good job
Ricardo Good job, Ricardo.
So, Mike, come and get your prizes, man.
Lot to carry along with your Boba Fett.
He's not still in the bathroom, is he?
I understand now why you were gone for so long, because from your appearance
to announce to everybody, you went to the bathroom
in the woods.
He's just got a big beard, that's all.
And give him his Boba Fett back. Don't step on it.
Make sure you
keep that joint, man.
Oh, yeah, we get the pre-roll.
Thanks, Mike.
Congratulations, dude.
Yeah, just throw Boba Fett in the bag
with all that other shit.
All right, Mike.
That's how much he loves his Boba Fett.
Just threw it in there with everything.
Oh, and this looks like it's a sour diesel pre-roll.
So, very excited about that.
And all the other things we're going to smoke outside in a few minutes.
Do you have anything to plug there, Jeff?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
Do you need a second?
Yeah, I was trying to get the shithead off my name tag.
Oh, okay.
So, I'll do my plugs first.
Okay.
And then I will read the shithead.
Okay, do it
