Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
Hey, everybody.
Oh, my God.
Exciting show.
I love movies.
Doug Benson.
I'm here.
UCB Theater.
A pretty packed house.
I'm excited.
Of course, you're all waiting to see the fantastic show,
Comedy Death Ray, that's here every Tuesday and lets us hijack the audience for this podcast.
And let me just get right into you.
You can see the shirt I'm wearing. I think it's got Darth Vader walking a tiny.
What are those things called? Nerds.
Tiny, what are those things called?
Nerds!
AT&Ts, is that what they're called?
At-ats.
And when he's walking at it, he whistles to himself.
So I'm going to hold up his shirt, and hopefully everybody will see it at once.
First person that can name the movie that the shirt is referencing will get it thrown in their direction.
And someone near you might catch it and, you know, I say fight it out.
All right, here we go.
This one says, I'm with the Underhills.
Fletch.
Bam!
Guy says, Fletch.
Now, of course, I don't know what these are from, so... The first confident answer that I hear is going to get a T-shirt.
No, I know most of them, but this next one I do not know.
And it's been kind of driving me crazy, and I just wanted to find out here with everybody. So if you say it confidently, then I know you're right. It's not Star Wars
and you cannot pre-guess.
There's no pre-guessing.
What would this shirt be?
The one with Darth Vader and the thing. I guess it would be Empire.
The Empire Strikes Back because
we're in that one.
Alright, we're in that one.
Okay, this one
says
Miss Lippy's car is green
Holy shit
Is Billy Madison right?
Get it to that guy that said it way up there
I want to make sure you get it
I'm going to throw it in the aisle and you come get it like a
Like a god damn weirdo
That was awesome
What?
Who is being at the booth
You can't guess from the sound booth That was awesome. What? Who was being at the booth?
You can't guess from the sound booth.
That guy totally got your shirt, Sasquatch.
No, I got it.
Oh, you did? Yeah.
Okay, good.
I don't know how I feel about this talking from the booth thing.
It's not I'm recording.
Okay.
All right, this next one,
someone's going to know it immediately,
so I've got to get ready to throw it.
I'm not even going to show it to you.
I'm just going to say it.
Abe Froman, Sausage King.
There you go, you son of a...
Ferris Bueller's Day Off,
for those of you who are listening
and didn't know it.
Do you have those headphones around your neck
because you're planning on jumping back to music
if this is bullshit?
You're like just ready to go?
Because you're going to be here for a while.
You could just put them away somewhere.
You know what?
You look like that guy in Empire Strikes Back
that's like, oh, they're coming.
What's his name?
God, you guys are a bunch of nerds.
All right, let's,
oh, they also,
all the shirts aren't movie themed.
They have some that are just
a hilarious shirt
over at lookatmeshirts.com.
This one says,
I can't,
like Ikea is the logo,
and this says,
I can't put furniture together. Whoever laughs
the loudest gets it. There you go. That girl over there. Behind you, headphones. You've
got the best shirt ever made, so relax. It's some sort of bridge from London with a queen hat.
It's like some password or something.
Queen hat.
Is it crown?
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
All right, so our first guest tonight is also a shirt that I brought.
Because, and whoever cheers the loudest gets this one,
because he is, you know him from the TV show,
Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins!
That guy, that guy right there.
That guy gets the Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins shirt.
That guy gets the best week ever with Paul F. Tompkins shirt.
It's not weird.
It's just strange.
Ow.
What is that? Be careful.
It hurt my knee immediately.
I'm sorry that your knee hit the table.
But you can take the microphone out if you'd like.
No, you know I always like it.
Make yourself comfortable.
Like this.
I like it like this.
Oh, that's good.
Because it's the least amount of work for me.
That works for me. I just sit like this. Oh, that's good. Because it's the least amount of work for me. That works for me.
I just sit here calmly.
Holding it as a hassle.
Oh, who has the time, girlfriend?
I gave away the Paul Tompkins Best Week Ever shirt because I could never wear that.
I can't wear a shirt that has a friend of mine's name on it.
I wear it all over the place.
And a rainbow shooting up out of it.
But that dude's going to wear the crap out of it.
And that's exciting.
I wrote down on a napkin everything that we need to cover.
So let's get that out.
Paul Tompkins is here.
The other guest tonight, another return guest from earlier this season,
one of our favorites.
Our favorites.
It's just me.
But the listeners
love him. Ladies and gentlemen, from
Never Not Funny Podcast, James
Pardo!
Jimmy Pardo!
All stand.
Yes.
There he is.
There he is.
There's nothing more fun to listen to than applause.
I thought it was dynamite.
I liked that it was about half the volume of PFTs,
but I'm going to get past that.
Yours came in very hot.
I knew you should have been the second guest tonight.
There was a shirt involved.
I couldn't give them a shirt.
There was apparel?
Yeah, yeah.
They were cheering to win a shirt.
You have a shirt?
Yeah, I've got the You Fascinate Me shirts
that are selling very well.
And I've got the Number Not Funny shirts, Bag of Corn Friend.
I've got the Robin Williams suspender shirt.
It's just a shirt and then you've got suspenders printed on there and some buttons.
No way.
Yeah, it's a shazbot.
I had an idea for a shirt, long sleeve and all the way down the sleeve, winky face, happy face, other kind of frowny face.
And then here it would say, I wear my emoticons on my sleeve.
Bam!
Love it.
Love it.
I don't deny, on an improv stage, that's a great idea.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
You'd be home of some amazing improv where people just stand around agreeing.
Gotta have conflict, huh, P.F.?
They do good stuff here.
Can I ask you a question, though?
You just knowed me.
Is it about movies?
If you...
No.
Oh, shit.
Here we go.
If you had not thought of that shirt
and you saw someone wearing that shirt...
Oh, I would tell them to fuck off.
Yeah, exactly.
All right.
I would be like, you're an asshole. All right but I would make sure a lot of people would buy it I
just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind that's one in a series of get
rich ideas that I will never follow through on get rich medium yeah get rich
baby tea what so everybody we're weird looks don't really play on a podcast as Get rich, baby T. What? So.
Hey, buddy.
Weird looks don't really play on a podcast, as you know.
As you know, that's why you added a camera to yours. I got a camera.
I got a two-camera shoot.
Two cameras now.
We got the one.
One is locked on you.
At all times.
Yes.
And then we got the one that grabs the guests.
And that's really a better camera.
It's got the two people on it. Mine just has the one that grabs the guests and that's really a better camera that has got the two people
on it
mine just has the one
I did Jimmy's podcast
earlier today
that's true
and I got in your shot
a couple times
yeah
I would just
I would stick my head
in his camera
I almost went
Christian Bale on you
I went fucking crazy
how dare you
walk into my shot
you're all
do do do do do
that's my favorite part That's my favorite part.
That's my favorite part, too.
Do-do-do-do-do.
We all have favorite things.
Oh, good for you.
Do-do-do.
It's going to be a musical.
So I like to play the six degrees of separation game
with the people I bring on the show
since last time I had two movie actors.
These guys are settling in.
I feel like I'm
upstaging or downstaging everybody on the stage.
I don't know where to go.
It's all good. You locked in. You've got some trouble.
I don't know. I feel like a fucking tiger
in a cage. Why can't this be up
further? Why does he have to be locked in where he is?
Let's push it down. Ready? Let's do it there it is how's that paul that's nice that's nice that's
great that's great now i feel like a tiger in a cage that has been painted to look like the jungle
welcome to the jungle upgrade we've got running games here we go and anytime the two of you want
to burst out into song i you know I love it.
Oh, we've already done it.
I know.
I'm saying, I'm encouraging it as opposed to saying fucking stop that.
No.
Quit it.
Paul is a mere one degree from Kevin Bacon as I figured it out because Paul was in Magnolia
with Tom Cruise.
That's right, I was.
Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.
That is the correct answer.
One degree.
Wow.
Yeah, not bad.
How about you, Jimmy?
How many degrees do you think you are from Kevin Bacon?
42.
17, 42?
42 degrees, I would imagine.
I can't.
Although, I don't know.
Maybe his wife is involved somehow.
I don't know.
Some television that I'm sure somebody's involved with.
Oh, television.
Oh, you can't count TV?
No.
Hey, next week, can you come on I Love TV?
Burn.
Oh.
That is a burn on you.
Fuck yourself, you fucking hippie.
That is a burn on you.
I'll knock your bong up your ass, you son of a bitch.
Oh, that's a burn on you.
More of a threat.
More of a threat than a burn.
I'll burn his ass with a bong.
How about that?
That's an actual burn.
That is a burn. That is a burn slash threat. You of a threat than a burn. I'll burn his ass with a bong. How about that? That's an actual burn.
That is a burn. That is a burn slash threat.
You're going down.
BT.
Threat burn.
You're going down.
So I'll start with you then.
I was in the movie.
Oh, here we go.
I was in the movie.
He was in a movie.
I shot a scene for Dreamgirls.
Cut out.
That had Eddie Murphy.
Cut out.
Out of the movie.
Okay, so that doesn't count.
Was Eddie Murphy in something with Kevin Bacon?
Well, I'm trying to think.
Oh, yes.
Nutty Professor 2.
I'm trying to go degrees, though.
What about the Beyonce Knowles?
Is she involved with that Kevin Bacon?
Wait a second.
We could find a way to get to Kevin Bacon.
Eddie Murphy was in Bowfinger with Steve Martin.
Steve Martin.
Who was in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon
did a cameo.
There he goes.
Was it uncredited?
I think it may have been.
I was also uncredited in Dreamgirls, so that's a perfect six degrees.
Because you weren't in the movie.
You were uncredited because you were not in the movie.
That's correct.
But isn't Greg Barron in the credits of Jerry Maguire
even though he got cut out of that?
I think sometimes when you get caught, you're still in the credits.
Well, who knows how they do things over there at Jerry Maguire.
They run a loose shop over there.
Recent movies, fellas?
Start with Jimmy.
I've seen a movie on a plane, or a mommy movie, or...
Most recent movie?
In a motion picture theater without mommies.
Oh, what did I see?
I saw The Watchman, and Iman and they asked who was watching it.
I was the only fellow in the movie
watching it.
Only guy alone.
It was a private screening
over at the Arclight Movie Theater.
Really?
It was just you?
130.
Yeah, nobody there.
Would you go on the first day?
A lot of people wait.
Were you really there
all by yourself?
It was just me
and the young man
that welcomed me
named Dash
goes,
Hey, you're Jimmy Pardo.
And I said,
Yeah.
He goes, What are you seeing? I said, Watchman. He goes, goes, hey, you're Jimmy Pardo. And I said, yeah. He goes, what are you seeing?
I said, Watchmen.
He goes, oh, got to be a little quiet in there.
It's going to be quiet in there at every showing of Watchmen.
There's nothing to make noise about.
It's fucking brutal.
I liked most of it except that blue guy.
He was on screen for way too fucking long.
Made you feel some weird things.
I looked down at my blue balls on occasion.
Is that what you're asking?
That movie gave me nothing to beat off to.
Is that what you're saying?
You know what?
I think you're right.
Okay, that's what I thought you were saying.
You didn't think the superhero girl that got naked was good?
She is very sexy.
She's very sexy.
Pretty sexy lady.
Very sexy.
She was attractive.
What did I see?
Do I have some weird power over you guys,
or are we still playing the agreed everything game?
But wait, what did I see last week?
Tell me about other movies I haven't seen.
What did you see last week?
Oh, Sunshine Cleaning.
Oh, why?
Sunshine Cleaning.
Because I see every movie.
I love movies.
You like movies that are Sunshine and Alan Arkin
and Fox Searchlight.
Yeah.
It was okay. Oh, I'll see any Fox Searchlight. Yeah. It was okay.
Oh, I'll see any Fox Searchlight film
that comes out.
I like that house.
They make Oscar runners.
They make pictures.
I'm not looking
at any of the guests.
Who are you talking to?
They make pictures.
Who are you talking to?
That win awards.
Nobody.
But did you like it?
I thought it was good.
Good. I thought it had some moments of inhale. Three stars out of ten? it? I thought it was good. Good.
I thought it had some moments of indel.
Three stars out of ten?
Three out of five.
Three out of nickel.
Three out of five.
Try out of nickel.
All right.
Three out of five in part of it.
Three out of n.
And you...
Yes?
I like both those ladies, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt.
Sure.
They did a great job.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah.
Sexy.
She's British, you know.
Which one? I don't know. Emily Blunt. Sure. They did a great job. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. Sexy. She's British, you know. Which one?
I don't know.
Emily Blunt.
They're both so good.
I acted in a television pilot with Amy Adams many, many years ago.
This was before her.
Which one was it?
It was called The Peter Principle.
Yes.
I even was there, I think, watching.
Wasn't Drew Hastings in that?
Yes, he was.
Yes, he was.
Yes, he was.
Amy Adams was cast
in the role opposite me
as my nemesis, but then
halfway through, she was fired.
Why?
They gave the role to Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
She just wants to be called Tiffany Thiessen,
by the way.
That's who I saw, because I came down,
especially because she was there.
It just goes to show you that anybody can get fired.
That's actually a nice story.
But then I saw her again years later.
She was doing a little tiny thing in the Tenacious D movie.
And I saw her in the makeup trailer.
And she said hi to me first, which I thought was very nice.
She seems like a sweet girl.
That's a winner.
And I hope that when they fired her, she said,
I will be twice nominated for Oscars, bitches.
And then walked out.
Because it didn't really happen.
I don't think she did.
It did.
But I think she said it with more of a shrug.
Because usually, I'll be twice nominated for Oscars, so.
Yeah, goodbye.
Enjoy your television actress from Saved by the Bell.
All right, from 90210.
Sure.
What have you seen lately, Paul? And it's almost time to get into the Leonard Maltin game.
I also saw The Watchmen, which I might still be at it, as far as I know.
A little lengthy, huh?
Yeah, it bothered me.
I was a fan of the source material, and while I thought it was very faithful to the spirit
and the actual text and images of the source material,
they couldn't kick people across a room in that book.
And I thought that that undermined the whole thing.
Because the idea was not like, what if superheroes were real?
The idea was, what if regular people were costumed vigilantes?
And I don't think in real life anybody can kick anybody across a room
or punch a hole in a kitchen counter or any of that shit.
So it sort of bothered me about it.
It was kind of weird.
Did you see it?
I'm sorry it took me so long to keep talking.
I know you wanted to say that earlier.
I agree without having read the source material, which I always wanted to read.
But the combination of a comic book.
Who wants to go to the Library of Congress and go through all that hassle?
But the idea of a dense... Everyone kept
talking about how dense it was as a comic.
I'm like, what I like about comics is they're not
dense. They're just simple.
You skip over the fake files in the
pirate ship comic.
You're home free. Yeah, Zack Snyder was like,
fuck the pirate ship.
That's not going to be in my movie, even though my movie's going to be
way too long and might as well have a pirate ship in it.
That's what he sounds like.
Does he sound like that?
Accurate impression.
You are very good with the voices.
That's why he does not cameo in his films.
Sparta!
So, um...
Or, look out for that zombie!
Yeah, 300.
Look out for that zombie.
That's what he would have said if he was in Dawn of the Dead.
One of the best remakes of all time.
Is that true?
Oh, it's so good.
It is really good.
I'm thinking about it right now.
Especially the first 10 or 15 minutes.
Like in the Halloween Doug Loves Interrupting movies that we do here at UCB,
every year I just show the first 15 minutes of Dawn of the Dead remake.
It's really good.
Because it's amazing.
It's crazy and hilarious. Dead remake because it's amazing.
It's crazy and hilarious. Always inspiring.
It's inspiring.
Indeed.
Comforting.
Yeah, it kind of is
a little bit comforting.
There's something about it.
A little bit.
That's my comfort scene.
Yeah, yeah.
Helps put me to bed.
So,
before we play the Leonard Maltin game
Any else besides Watchmen?
Anything more recently?
You know what?
Any else?
Words, mouth, questions
Go talking now
Paul
I saw
This is going way back.
On DVD, I saw the first two installments of the Up series of documentaries,
7 Up and 14 Up, which I haven't seen.
I believe you or your lady twittered about it, having seen that.
Might have been my lady.
Yeah, you guys don't do anything without twittering about it.
Well, you do some things without twittering about it.
Give it time.
Give it time.
I don't like the racy undertones of this.
That was a bad sexual encounter.
Her name?
No.
We would still be calling it sexual encounters.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you try to keep it fresh by encountering.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then it didn't work out that one time when she showed up in the Watchmen outfit.
The comedian in the Watchmen.
In the book, is he funny?
Ha ha ha!
Because he no funny in the movie.
I think it was more...
You're not funny!
That's what I yelled out.
Sure.
Glad you weren't in my movie.
I don't need a guy yelling out.
I had the whole place to myself.
You should have yelled out.
You sat there quietly.
I actually nodded off during part of that movie.
Did you sing along with any of the songs?
Most of them, yeah.
Did you text at all during it?
Because no one would yell at you for texting.
I received a text.
If you're alone.
Truth be told, I did not text back.
What did it say?
The baby is choking?
I can't be bothered with that.
I can't.
I'm watching The Watchmen.
I'm watching The Watchmen.
I'm four hours into this six-hour epic.
So who knows when this will be posted on the iTunes.
Who could say?
Saturday.
It happens when somebody feels like doing it.
When it happens.
Very good.
Yeah.
But hopefully it'll still be March Madness because tonight's Len Moulton game is all
basketball.
I'm ready to go.
One note.
Basketball movies.
It's not note.
It's name.
One note.
But I like that you have done the research and have a vague idea how this works.
Because explaining it to the guests is a nightmare.
And I apologize to the listeners.
Well, you do not have to explain it to us because we understand it.
You guys have got it down.
So we'll start with James Pardo for the first one.
I'm very happy to start.
No peekage.
Did you just look?
No.
No looking at the general letters of where I am in the book.
Okay.
General letters.
General, don't get any.
It seemed to be the American alphabet.
Is there any clue besides the fact that it's a basketball movie
yes
1986
got it
go
Len Malton
gives it
what I
this is the clue
gives it what I feel
is a stingy
three stars
zero
I say zero
I guess it was zero
zero names
yeah
from that year
and Len Malton
giving it three stars
how many can I go with
how many can I start with
you could start with?
You could start with, I hadn't got to that part yet, but there are nine names.
So you could say I can name it nine names.
And then Paul says eight. Through down to zero.
He can, or he could just say, name that movie.
I'm going to start.
Do we start now?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm ready to go.
Four.
Let's wait a while.
I'm going to start with four.
You could name that movie.
In four names.
In four names four names the four most obscure character actors
in this basketball movie from 1986 i think i'm helping paul decide what to do here
he says he can do it four names paul what do you i may have jumped the gun
you shouldn't admit that you should act confident i can't name that movie in three names oh you son of a
now you could say oh people are on their feet it's like it's like poker it's like poker
yeah step away from the table we're all in uh i can't get higher than that i'm doing this
meerkat style mind your manner um i go two names two names you I go two names
Two names?
You leap to two names?
He said three
Oh he did
I didn't even hear it
I just heard him get up on the chair
Wasn't much of a leap
Okay
I'm going to name that movie
in one name
Oh
So you think you know it already
I think I do
I should have started with five
So do you want to go zero names?
Do you want to go zero names and guess
or do you want to let Paul hear one name?
I think we both have the same guess. Do we not?
I bet we do.
If you're good with years, I'm terrible with years.
I could never get it by year.
I'm beginning to think I am.
There's only seven basketball movies in the history of motion pictures by year.
I go no names! I go no names!
No names. He's going no names.
I might be wrong on the year.
All right, what is it?
Is it Hoosier?
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is, Jim Pardo.
Right?
Tell him what he's won, Jim Pardo.
Oh, I do another one.
I meant to say Don Pardo, but I said your name again.
Go.
All right, here we go.
Go, go.
There's only three, so Paul, you have to get this one to tie it up.
There's only three what?
That one was a push. You knew that one.
There's only three movies total that we do know.
All right. Did you know that one, Paul?
That was a push. That's a push. We're back at zero.
No, we can't be.
How could I find a fourth basketball movie?
We're up against the clock here.
People write to me all the time saying
the show should be longer than 30 minutes,
so this one's going to be 29.
Atta boy, show me who's boss.
Yeah, I'll shoot him.
You want more?
Fuck off.
All right, this is from 1994.
You got 15 names.
I'm ready to go.
15 names.
And here's the clue.
Besides March Madness, this is the other clue.
Louis Gossett appears unbilled.
Kevin Bacon in Trains, Planes, and Automobiles style.
Unbilled appearance by Louis Gossett Jr.
1994?
1994.
And, Paul, you start.
And 15 names you can start out with
I can name that movie in
14 names
Jimmy
I'll jump to 9
I can do it in 9 names
We've got a 9 jumper on our hands
Paul
9 or name it
I'm going to name that movie In 9 names What? I'm gonna name that movie
In 9 names
What?
I've already said 9
I'm gonna name that movie in 7 names
Wow another 2 jump
I like this
I'll go half a dozen
You guys are intense
I go 6
5 names
4
3
2
1
I'm gonna do
You know what? I'm gonna do You know what
I'm gonna go zero again
What
Boy you have
From 1994
Is that too big of a clue
I don't know
But I'm gonna take a guess
Is Luke Gossett the lead
But unbilled
Can I take my guess
Yes you can
Hoop Dreams
Is it Hoop Dreams
Oh James Pardo I wanna look up now and see if any actors are listed
in hoop dreams i thought maybe gossett stopped by a playground and said how's it going
i thought he made a guy do push-ups in the rain
what's up do you guys want me to yell at you to do push-ups?
You said that.
Wait, don't I get a chance to name the movie?
You did.
I did.
You win the point because he missed.
Is that movie...
Paul can take a guess.
Is that movie The Fish That Eventually Abandoned Pittsburgh?
No, it isn't.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
All right, then give us some names.
Oh, you want to do it that way, do you?
Well, we've got to figure it out without you just giving me names.
Here we go.
I could just give it to you, but I'll give you names.
And then the first one that gets it doesn't win anything.
George Raveling, Richard Pitino, Bobby Knight, Jerry Tarkanian.
He sounds like a player, Jerry Tarkanian He sounds like a player
Jerry Tarkanian
Or coach
Robert Wool
Another great coach
Anthony Seahall
I think he's the black guy
That played Harry
In Harry and the Hendersons
Not that they needed
A black guy to play the part
But he is a tall creature
But isn't it nice We've come that far It really is Not that they needed a black guy to play the part, but he is a tall creature.
But isn't it nice we've come that far?
It really is.
That a black man can play big stuff. We went from a black Sasquatch to a black president.
Matt Nover?
Penny, uh, M. Bernie Penny Hardaway?
Jack Shaquille O'Neal?
Shaquille O'Neal?
You're not playing.
Oh!
It's not Kazam!
Is it, is it Steel? No, it's a goodal. You're not playing. Oh! It's not Kazam. Is it... Is it Steele?
No, that's a good guess.
Don't yell out.
Bob Ducey.
Alfre Woodard.
Ed O'Neal.
The late JT Walsh.
Mary McDonald from BSG.
And we've got one fan in the crowd.
And it starred Nick Nolte
and was directed by William Friedkin.
Jefferson and basketball!
And it's called Blue Chips.
No.
Would it have helped?
Would a good clue have been, you get these when you fly JetBlue?
Blue Chips.
All right, so we've got to go to the tiebreaker and we don't have much time.
All right, very quickly then.
I did not care for that one.
That made me mad. You guys are tied up
with your weird jumping to zero
games that you're playing.
I'm very cocky with my basketball game. You've tied it up.
Oh, that's not number one. Alright, give me a year.
Here's the year. I guess when I got it wrong
and I guess when I got it right. So you got the point when I got it wrong
and I got one right. The year is 1979.
I know it. I'm ready to go. The country
is at war. Children are. The year is 1979. I know it. I'm ready to go. The country is at war.
Children are crying. No. 1979.
Ten names.
And Len says about this basketball
movie from 1979,
game hijinks
only saving grace.
So apparently what happens
off the court is not hijinks
and not a saving grace.
And there are ten names, and we go back to Jimmy.
Seven.
Jimmy's going for seven.
Paul F. Tompkins.
Six.
Six names.
Five names.
Four names.
I'll go with three names
Two names
You're not taking this seriously
What?
I'm gonna go one name
One name?
I'm going to do it in zero days
Are you really?
I'll do it in minus one
How does that work?
I'll give you the names
Wow
It's gotta be the last name though
Wow
Oh it does? It can't be the star? It's gotta be Kareem Abdul, though. Wow. Oh, it does?
It can't be the star?
It's got to be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Oh, I might not know this one.
Oh, no, I think I...
Go ahead.
Zero.
Zero.
Okay.
1979?
Yeah, he said zero, so he has to guess it.
No, he didn't.
He said...
Game hijinks only saving grace?
Yes.
How many stars?
I'm not telling that part.
That wasn't one of the established clues.
One and a half.
One and a half.
I'm going to say it's the fish that saved Pittsburgh.
That guess worked this time, my friend.
Paul F. Tompkins is our winner.
But thanks anyway.
I know.
How did I win?
You won nothing.
I'm going to guess fast break.
You win bragging rights.
Is it fast break?
It's not fast break.
But maybe next March I'll have you back on.
Oh, let's make it a yearly thing.
You will say zero names and yell out that title.
But we got them.
I love playing zero names.
You did get them eventually except for blue chips.
Well, that was a horrible one.
That's a tough one.
It's not a bad movie.
No, it was a horrible movie
and a horrible choice.
Did you actually see Blue Chips?
Mm-hmm.
Sorry.
I liked it.
It's kind of great.
It's directed by William Friedkin.
I don't give a good goddamn.
It's a gritty,
and Shaq's not bad in it.
So that's our show.
Let's hear it for Jimmy Pardo,
Never Not Funny.
Thank you.
New season starts soon.
That's right.
New season's starting very soon.
Yeah, yeah. Paul F. Tompkins, always on
Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins.
Be weird without him.
And I'm Doug Benson saying
Willem Dafoe is a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug
to watch another talkie.
Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess
makes him cocky. There's no
room in his heart for you
Cause Doug loves movies
