Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth
They're still not warm, then he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody
My name is Doug and I love movies
The original hard and firm theme song
For Doug Loves Movies is back
And so everybody was able to
Everybody was able to clap to that one
It was funny listening to you guys try to clap
To Motion City Soundtrack's version
There was like a time change in it
and you guys would all just clap anyway
almost as if you're going to start chanting
We're white, we're white.
So we always had to take that off of the audio
so that it wouldn't annoy the listeners.
Because wouldn't that be weird to listen to a song
and people don't know how to clap to it?
We're coming to you from the
ucb theater in los angeles before comedy death ray on tuesday july 13th 2010 the year of our lithco
uh programming notes since i'm about to go out on the uh pot the vote tour yeah
put one person excited about me leaving Los Angeles to go do comedy.
There won't be any tapings of this podcast here at UCB again
until August 3rd.
So the next two weeks, there might be other stuff going
on before Death Ray, so check your
listings. Graham Elwood and I
are going to be going to
the Pot to Vote Tour, so we're going to go to Sacramento
Punchline July 20 and 21st,
the Cellar Door in Visalia July 23rd, San Francisco Punchline July 25th at 420,
and then again on July 27th at 8 o'clock,
and then they're also squeezing in a show at the Improv in San Jose on July 26th.
And this is to remind people to vote for Proposition 19 on November 2nd.
I'm not affiliated with any group or anything.
I'm just doing it on my own.
And if lots of people wear name tags to the shows,
we will play the Leonard Maltin game for fabulous prizes or shitty T-shirts.
Just like I did last Sunday in Nashville at Zany's.
We got to play the Leonard Maltin game,
and the crowd didn't turn against me because I wasn't doing stand-up.
It's a tough thing.
I've got to judge it with each show.
Are there enough people that listen to the podcast that there won't be people walking out?
We didn't come to watch a guy say obscure names.
We didn't come to hear number bidding.
But here's the good news. While I'm
off on the tour, we've already
banked two episodes of
the podcast
that we will play on the next
two consecutive Fridays, so they
want to plop each week as normal.
And Jimmy
Pardo, Matt Belknap, and Pat Francis
from Never Not Funny are the guests.
So it's a fun two-parter that you can listen to.
We've already taped it, so I want to tell you right now that if you listen to this one first,
or you see it live, and then you listen to the one with Jimmy Pardo,
I go on and on. It's like a crazy coincidence.
I go on and on about, what's going on with Toe for Grace?
I want more Toe for Grace. I haven't seen anything with Toe for Grace.
And then, of course, two days later, I'm watching Predators, and there's Toe for Grace. I want more Toe for Grace. I haven't seen anything with Toe for Grace. And then, of course, two days later
I'm watching Predators, and there's
Toe for Grace. And I'm like,
that podcast is going to sound so stupid.
If everyone knows I saw Predators
that opening day, because I tweeted about it,
they're all going to be like,
why does he not think Toe for Grace is
in anything? Did he not recognize him during
two hours of Toe for Graceness?
It doesn't even turn into
a black slimy thing. He's Topher Grace the entire
time. Spoiler alert.
So speaking of podcasts,
which I think I was at some point since I got out
here, my guests tonight
are from a very funny podcast called
The Joe Rogan Experience. Please welcome
producer Brian Redband, guest
Sam Tripoli, and the titular host Joe Rogan Experience, please welcome producer Brian Redband, guest Sam Tripoli, and the titular host, Joe Rogan, everybody.
Joe Rogan's here.
Come on out, fellas.
Sam and Brian and Joe.
Just find your way out here.
Take some seats.
We'll talk about movies.
Because this is called Doug Loves Movies.
That's what we do is we talk about movies
to guests that come out when I say their names.
I saw them all sitting backstage.
I know they're back there.
Is this like, am I being pranked? I'll do a show all by myself. I know they're back there. Is this like a... Am I being pranked?
I'll do a show all by myself. I'm not afraid.
I got a lot of things to say about predators.
Alright, I'll just start talking about predators. First of all...
Was Topher Grace in the ad? Seriously?
Oh, they're trying to. There's a door that's
blocked. Were you really trying
to come through that door?
Have you guys seen
the
ads for Predators?
The movie ads? Yeah.
Do you see Topher Grace in those ads?
I just love how Adrian
Brody's just jacked.
Have you seen that?
Talking to the microphone like I told you backstage.
All of my tips did not really go hand with you guys.
Did you see that last Adrian Brody movie?
The crazy, what is it, Splice?
Oh, no, I didn't see that.
Fucking awesome for all the wrong reasons.
It's a great bad movie.
It's really, really, really bad.
It's so bad.
They make this splice part human thing
in a basement.
They leave it in the basement
and it grows on its own.
They leave it in a storage room
at this fucking science place.
No one's going to notice.
You've got a full-grown
fucking alien human thing
with a tail
living in a storage room.
It's alive for three months,
maybe,
until Adrian Brody
fucks it.
I mean,
outside,
and he gets busted.
Fuck it.
I mean,
it's just awesome.
How does he seduce it?
Does he have to, like,
order in some pizza?
He touches him.
He just fucks anything.
You're not stoned
when you saw it.
Stoned as fuck.
Why would you go to see
a movie like that
if you were sober?
That's Brian Redband speaking over there. I want you guys to know a movie like that if you were sober? That's Brian Redband
speaking over there.
I want you guys to know
the voices that are
listening to the podcast.
That's Brian.
He's the producer
of the Joe Rogan Experience.
Yep.
Yeah, how's that
work out for you?
It's fun.
I'm great.
You guys, yeah,
do you ever forget
the microphones
or something like that?
No.
I hear tell you get high
a lot when you do it.
We always leave
a computer on
so that when we start broadcasting,
you hear the echo because it's in the background.
We always fuck that up.
So unprofessional.
Yeah, it's a very unprofessional podcast.
Well, you know what?
People are paying unprofessional money to get it.
Yeah, that's what doesn't make sense.
We're sponsored by Fleshlight.
Boom!
We are, for real.
A lot of my listeners just fuck regular flashlights because they're real men.
They just open up a flashlight, dump out the batteries, and stick their dick in there.
There's no reason to do that.
It's only $60 for a good one.
God, that's great.
Safe flight repairs.
They're awesome.
It's technology for jerking off.
Can you get me one?
Fuck yeah, son.
Whatever you want.
I'll give you three of son. I'll get you
a butthole and a mouth one. Really?
Wow, you should call the Make-A-Wish
Foundation and say,
I can really hook some kids up. I can.
You know. I can.
They don't have black ones, though, which is
very disturbing. And we found that out by searching
on the site. At least they're not on the front
couple pages. What are they, like Asian and
vampire ones, but they don't have black.
They have Twilight?
Yeah, with fangs.
That's probably why Mel Gibson got mad
is he called to order a black one.
And he's like,
no black ones. I hope you get
raped by a bunch of black ones.
Listen, my opinion, maybe he's not
yelling at her out of
anger. Maybe he's yelling at her out of anger. Maybe he's yelling at her out of encouragement.
Maybe he's into interracial porn.
You ever think about that?
He's like, hey, go get some black.
Oh, yeah, maybe they play role-playing games is what you're saying.
And she records it and then sends it out like this is what he's really like.
She was a little too calm for my tastes.
The whole thing is a viral video for a movie.
Well, you got to be calm when you're wearing a wire. You can't be too worked up. The whole thing's a viral video for a movie. You gotta be calm when you're wearing a wire.
You can't be too worked up.
The whole thing was so uncomfortable. He's so
fucking crazy. It's awesome.
He's just spooky crazy.
There's no way this is
real crazy. Do you think he's
not going to work again crazy?
His agency dumped him. I know that.
He makes so much money.
He's got so much money. It doesn't even matter.
Good voice work.
But it does matter.
That's the weird part.
But why?
Why would it matter?
I think he wants to still be a movie star.
And I think he wants people to think he's not racist, which is going to be so hard to pull off.
There's people.
That's like Obama trying to convince people he was born here.
There's going to be some people that are always going to think that.
You know what I mean? Well, there's people that still want to see Polanski's movies. be some people that are always going to think that. You know what I mean?
There's people that still want to see Polanski's movies.
There's people that still want him to work.
They think he's very talented.
That's what I say about him.
What would Pierce Brosnan do without...
I didn't see what that last one was.
The Ghost Rider. Did you see that?
No. Was that a Polanski movie?
Yeah.
Everybody said it was really good.
That's a tough sell, working with that dude.
Really?
Yeah, I couldn't do it.
I got a really short list.
It's him and Leno, and that's pretty much the only people I wouldn't work with.
You won't work with Leno ever?
If I got a chance to go on his show, I would either say no, or I'd say something obnoxious
once I got out there.
Wow.
Strong feelings.
Yeah, I do have strong feelings about it.
It's weird
because I really
shouldn't care.
What is it that's
so offensive to you?
What's the most offensive
out of all the Conan,
Jay Leno thing?
What was the most
offensive part of it?
The not being funny part?
Like that trumps all
in my book
if you're a professional comedian.
But he's funny to someone, right?
I guess. It's just not you. No, but you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. But he's funny to someone, right? I guess.
It's just not you.
No, but you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
And that's why
I would not have had a problem with him.
There's plenty of people
that are not funny to me
that are funny to everybody else.
Right.
So I don't have a problem
with those people
as long as they're not
lying, cheating weirdos.
So it's not really just
that he was not funny.
You think there's something
fucked up about the way he went about it.
No, he laid all that extra stuff on it.
I love some
Mel Gibson movies
you know
I don't blame him
for the bad ones
but now I just
hate the guy
you know
now he's just like
oh I want a reality
show with him
that's what I want
that's what I want
to see him
I'd watch that
I'd watch that
I want to see him
just get followed
around all day
yelling and screaming
at people
getting fucking drunk
you know
you should be able
to hire him
you have to be
hidden cameras
because I think he likes to pretend
to be not a drunk.
Yeah, he likes to pretend.
It's very interesting
with Twitter and with Facebook
and all these different things
and TMZ and all this stuff.
You're finding things out
about people that no one ever did
10, 15, 20 years ago.
So maybe you're not supposed to find out.
Well, you know, you are.
The world needs to know
when someone's a rude little pig.
Yeah.
The world needs to know about it.
That was the worst.
That is terrible.
That is like a guy reigning in the shit he really wants to say to his kid with words like rude and little and pig.
That was like him being nice to her while he was yelling at her.
That was the most polite anger I've ever seen in my life.
That was very, very disturbing.
Yeah, yeah.
The thing I like about Leno, to go back to that,
is that it gives me hope in people that his ratings are down,
that for whatever jockeying position,
and maybe he's fucked over Conan, whatever that is,
that people don't like assholes anymore.
You see it now with LeBron James and him just leaving on Cleveland.
Have you ever heard Bill Hicks' bit on Jay Leno?
You ever heard the bit?
Bill Hicks does this genius bit about Leno
not being able to take it one day,
and he's interviewing Joey Lawrence
about Joey Lawrence's girlfriend,
and he just can't take it.
And he shoves a gun in his mouth,
and his brains blow out to form an NBC peacock
because he's a company man to the bitter fucking end. And he does this whole bit on it, so I asked Jay about it. And he shoves a gun in his mouth and his brains blow out to form an NBC peacock because he's a
company man to the bitter fucking end.
And he does his whole bit on it. So I asked Jay about it.
First time I did the Tonight Show, when we were in between
in commercials, I had to ask
him. I said, what was it like?
Why did that guy do that bit? Why did Bill Hicks do that?
And the answer was so strange.
He goes, well, you know, Bill was very different.
He was just a different guy. Some guys
want to make everybody laugh. He did not want to make everybody laugh. I want everybody to laugh. And he wanted to, you know, Bill was very different. He was just a different guy. You know, some guys want to make everybody laugh. He did not want to make everybody laugh.
You know, I want everybody to laugh.
You know, and he wanted to, you know, he had his own crowd, and that's what he wanted to do.
I was like, what the fuck are you even talking about?
You make everybody laugh?
That's crazy.
That's a crazy person.
You can't make everybody laugh.
The shit you think is funny, I'm not going to think it's funny.
We're different, right?
Definitely.
We're proving that in this room right now.
For sure.
You have to have
your own sense of humor.
Yeah, I'm striking out.
I love that impression, though.
Leno's impression is great.
It's like every white guy
voiced a black comic stew
with a gay lisp to it.
You know what I'm saying?
He's such a completely odd guy
because he doesn't spend
any of his money
from The Tonight Show.
He puts it all away. I think that's just a pimp move because he doesn't spend any of his money from the Tonight Show. That's what he says.
I think that's just a pimp move.
I got so much money,
I don't even use the Leno money.
That's impossible.
The Leno money.
I use the money I get from robbing banks.
Why would he lie about that?
I don't touch my Leno money.
I earn that shit.
That's weird to be doing a Leno impression
without even trying.
I'm Jay Leno. But the trying I'm Jay Leno but the best
thing that Jay Leno ever said I think he's a smart man in some ways obviously he's done well for
himself but the best thing he's ever said to my mind is the the thing about when asked about joke
thievery and people stealing jokes he's just like right, write another joke. And that nails it. Just write another
fucking joke. That's true, but
people who steal your shit, it's also pretty disgusting.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm not defending it. I'm just saying.
He sued that publisher for plagiarism.
You know?
He sued some publisher for plagiarism
saying they copied a book from him or something
like that back in the dizzay.
Two years ago, yeah.
Why'd you get all black in there?
I don't have a computer here, so I can't Google it.
My friend Brian right now is too high to talk publicly.
What?
Am I right? Have you guys heard that before?
I think stealing jokes, there's like two camps.
That's the worst when you pull an audience
and no one says yes.
I know.
The entire audience is like, uh-oh, we don't have your back on that.
I'm sorry, Sam.
Sam, I want to ask you about movies
because it's easy for stoners like us
to get off the subject of movies,
especially when you just smoked for the first time
in what, months, years?
Months, months and months.
Yeah, so that's always a good high
when you wait for months and then do it
and then go out on a podcast.
It's great.
Holy shit, it's the only thing you have that hat on,
because your brains want to fly out of your head.
So what movies have you been to lately, if you can remember, Sam?
The last one I went to was honestly Iron Man 2.
I thought it was okay.
I'm just a little nervous where movies are going.
Every movie now has a talking animal in it,
and that just makes me nervous how much people
love talking animals which maybe leads to why there's so many animal attacks do you know what
i'm saying like people may actually want to talk to animals now and animals probably don't want to
talk do you know what i'm saying i think that's why people didn't that many people didn't go to the city too because they're tired tired of talking a horse is a horse of course
of course so George Steinbrenner passed away on this this very day that we're
taping this and do you guys like baseball movies do you have any favorite
baseball movies I like the have any favorite baseball movies?
I like The Natural with Paul Newman.
That was an interesting...
Robert Redford?
One of those dudes.
That would be an interesting take on it
to put Paul Newman in there.
Do not watch Field of Dreams on acid, man.
I did that one time.
I cry when he's playing catch with his dad.
I'm like, I love my dad!
I think that scene is sad without the acid, actually.
You take acid and cry it up.
Yeah.
Toy Story 3.
Just build it.
They will come.
Marley and me.
How many assholes built baseball stadiums in their backyard after watching that?
Nothing happened.
And not one ghost showed up.
Some guy wrote to me on Twitter today about how that movie's misquoted.
It's if you build it,
he will come,
not they will come.
I'm like,
who gives a shit who comes?
The only man.
Fucking,
they said it,
some shit happened.
I think it's a,
I haven't seen it
in a long time,
so maybe it doesn't hold up.
Joe,
what do you think
the chances of him
having a fleshlight
would be?
That guy,
who's lonely.
He's out in the cornfield
waiting for the,
I think if he had it,
it'd probably help him
with his perspective
maybe
evens out your biology
lets you see things
a little more clearly
I'm in
Major League 2
that's your favorite
baseball movie
two stone to participate
comes in with Major League 2
not even Major League 1
which is vastly superior
in its
kind of shittiness somebody said to me today who was in Major League 2. Not even Major League 1, which is vastly superior in its kind of shittiness.
Somebody said to me today...
Who was in Major League 2?
I don't know. It was like a lesser cast.
Instead of Wesley Snipes, it was...
Who?
Omar Epps.
Hey, I didn't say lesser. That guy's awesome.
Tommy...
We were just talking backstage
About bad mouthing other comedians
What was the Kevin Costner one?
The Bull Durham
People love that
That was a great one
Yeah that was Robert Wall
And his least annoying
That was an interesting movie
Because you know
Even the heroes were all fucked up
Like the whole
You know he was a mess
And she was a mess
But all together it worked out
That was interesting
That's nice
They worked it out in the end The Rosie O'Donnell one yeah what is that a league of their own a league
of their own yeah yeah it's good in it how many dvds is that one so yeah i don't know my favorite
is bad news bears can you would you guys agree that's my favorite baseball man would you guys
agree the worst casting of all time was rosie'Donnell as Betty in the Flintstone movies?
Oh, dude, we talked about this when we were in Vegas,
you and I.
That was insane.
That was the insanest casting that ever happened
because Betty was like super hot,
just as hot as Wilma.
She's a Betty.
You got to have that tension all the time
between Barney and Fred that swapping could occur.
You can't have poor Barney
with some fucking...
She's a Betty.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Then we just got the lesbian
with the biggest skull ever
playing the role,
which is weird.
All right, I'll shut up.
She should...
Rosie O'Donnell
should start a metal band
called Big Skull.
She's always taking her career off
in such crazy directions.
She defends weird people
once in a while. She was fascinating
on The View. When she and that really
hot blonde Republican chick would argue,
that was intense.
Because Rosie was always crazy
like 9-11 was an inside job
and the other one is fucking guns, God,
and government.
There was some sexual tension between the two. is fucking guns, God, and government. Yeah. Woo!
There was some sexual tension
between the two.
A little bit, right?
You know Rosie wanted to eat
and look at this.
Dirty Republican.
There's something about her.
This is now Dirty Crowd
and it's starting to realign.
I can't wait.
I'm just looking forward
to the movie
of whatever it was
you were just talking about.
It's already been made,
I'm sure,
if you can think of it.
Who will play Rosie O'Donnell
because you always know they get somebody better looking than them.
Have you ever noticed that?
Chaz Bono.
All that money looks like Larry the Cable Guy.
That's so weird.
Can you imagine there's some poor person
out there in the world that might get cast
as Rosie O'Donnell someday?
Like in somebody's biopic.
Like Trump's biopic has to have
Rosie O'Donnell in it
and some lady
is going to get that part.
It's true.
I get to be Rosie O'Donnell
in a movie.
Oh.
Guess I'm going to have
to put on some weight.
Like they hire
a skinny girl you know.
How do you gain weight
in your head though?
That's the weirdest part.
Maybe they would do a
maybe they would do
a reverse Wilma.
They would make Rosie super hot
and confuse the fuck out of everybody.
I kind of like to get that out there in the ether.
People saying a reverse Wilma is like a new...
That's you. You created that.
Yeah, the reverse Wilma.
Rosie would be CGI.
They'd just make her like the Hulk.
The Hulk is fairly realistic.
Now people are,
some people are,
I don't know why anyone's talking about
whether or not Ed Norton
was going to be the Hulk
in the Avengers movie.
I wasn't sitting around going,
God, I hope he doesn't.
He was fine in that Incredible Hulk movie,
but that's the casting change
I can handle, you know?
Yeah, there's been so many Hulks now. The Eric Bana
Hulk. They just keep rebooting it.
They go, this one didn't work. Let's just reboot it.
Because the Hulk never looks real.
It looked better.
The newer one was better, but it's still
an ongoing thing. I hate when they
hire a decent actor, especially
like a Willem Dafoe
or a Topher Grace.
They play a villain that turns into
another thing that's not them.
Did you see Wolfman?
I didn't see the new Wolfman because I heard so many
awful things about it. I'm a huge werewolf
fan. I'm such a huge werewolf nerd.
I bought
Wolfman even though it sucked. I bought it on Blu-ray
and I put it in the background when I write
sometimes just because I love those fucking movies
like American Werewolf in London. One of my favorite of all time just so
much fun but it was the idea that you're uh when you're writing that you're causing mayhem and
being chased by no it's just fun to look at it's right i just like to look at it i'm armenian so
i have to like anything about angry furry people you know what i'm saying
um but what they tried to do with the wolf man,
the new one was put him in,
because he's such a great actor,
put him in just a mask and put him in,
and it just looks outdated.
It just doesn't work, unfortunately.
Yeah, he's not as effective as the werewolves in Eclipse.
I always thought...
Yeah, like anytime you have an animal,
when they try to do animals,
like you can do Jurassic Park
and they look like real dinosaurs
But when you try to do dogs and shit
They look so fucking goofy
I am legend
That was a huge problem for me
That lion scene
When he goes to shoot the deer
And a lion jumps out and grabs the deer in front of him
And then the male lion walks out and the cubs
And I'm like alright this movie is out the window
Because that's retarded
I'm watching fucking Davy and Goliath here.
This is ridiculous.
They couldn't find a real lion in New York.
Just don't show it. Don't show it like that.
Don't pretend that I'm supposed to just pretend
that this is a fucking lion.
But then the zombie creatures were the same kind of effect.
But they were at least monsters.
It's like they don't exist in real life.
I have nothing to compare them to.
This is how you're creating them. This is how you're presenting them to me
Like with dinosaurs
Maybe the dinosaurs are totally off too
If we had real dinosaurs to look at
We would say
Well these Jurassic Park ones
Look fucking stupid and fake
But we don't have real dinosaurs to look at
We got real lions
You can't fake a fucking lion man
Do you think lion actors are angry
That they made CGI lions?
They're like
We want to fucking work bro
There's already some asshole in a hat playing me on
broadway like what was that uh like when back when they were mad that a white guy was doing charlie
chan right yeah yeah yeah at what point do you think in a movie do you ever watch a movie you're
like okay everybody in the movie just realized this movie sucks and nobody's trying anymore
you're like okay everybody in the movie just realized this movie sucks and nobody's trying anymore the lovely bones yeah yeah one of the most it made me angry that how horrible that movie was
like jack on lost kind of like jack on jack on lost phone that in the last couple seasons
how about crank two finally ever see crank two why would i ever see crazy people people tell me
it's hilarious i didn't like crank one and people say that Crank 2 is better.
No way.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it for a second.
That doesn't even make sense.
At one point, the director's like, let's just make a YouTube video.
Let's do it.
And they just go with it.
The only reason I went and saw it is because my friend plays a stripper who gets her tits
shot off, so I'm like, I've got to go support my friend.
Did you just gesture to a specific
person in the audience that's where she is always in the room when he's around
she stands in that area the voices come from the right it's always that way I do
I do enjoy a good bad movie I really enjoyed was the one where it got no day
after tomorrow remember the day after tomorrow where yeah yeah yeah like 2012 what was the one where Day After Tomorrow? Remember Day After Tomorrow?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like 2012
but a few years earlier.
Except even more ridiculous.
There's so many awesome
cliches in that movie. You can fucking slip in
a Cusack instead of a Gyllenhaal and no one's
going to care. It's the same thing as Ed Norton
and the Hulk. You can just switch them around.
Is there any movie that
everybody hates but you love?
I love The Ladies Man. Have you ever seen it?
No. What is that?
It's this SNL movie that it was me
by myself in the movie theater
laughing my ass off and
nobody saw it. But I don't know. I just love it.
I think it's hysterical.
There's one movie that I've always had.
There's a test. And if you like this movie,
I probably can talk to you. But if you like this movie i probably can talk to you
but if you hate this movie i'm just we're gonna run out of conversation real quick
and that's the big lebowski that's our show everybody
uh yeah that's the big lebowski's one of those some people just don't get it great
fucking movie yeah it's like i remember like in the being in the theater while it was going on
just going to be like every choice they made like yes it was just so fucking fun the whole bowling alley scene and we're you know saddam hussein the bowling
alley with the mustache like it's so good it was so fucking good then i talked to people like
fucking big gabelski suck who are those people wow i'm like really it's like also probably didn't
like fargo that's another movie that i think amazing, but some people just don't get it.
There's a frequency that some people just don't tune in
to that cone-butter shit.
I've heard people say,
why is that one scene in there
where Marge goes to see that Asian guy
and he keeps hitting on her in the booth
even though she's pregnant?
It has nothing to do with the story in Fargo,
but it's one of my favorite scenes in that movie,
and I don't sit there the whole time going,
why is this here?
Why are these interesting characters interacting
with each other in an amusing manner?
Fuck this shit.
Some people just don't want that.
I'm a...
Oh, sorry.
I'm from a small town
upstate New York. It's very redneck,
and I remember when Napoleon Dynamite came out.
I was like, oh, this is awesome.
I sent it to my buddy.
A couple weeks later, I go back and he's like,
you know, that movie you sent me,
we were expecting so much from it.
It wasn't anything. Then I realized,
because Napoleon Dynamite is their life.
Do you know what I'm saying?
It's like a documentary to them.
They're like, yeah, and what's the point?
Where are we going with this?
Yeah, because they say documentary there.
I got killed.
I couldn't walk away from that one.
No, please don't.
Those are my favorite comedies.
The Coen Brothers comedies like Fargo
and especially The Big Lebowski.
Those are my favorite comedies
because they're just so unpredictable.
Just the way...
And their dramas have moments of hilarity quite often.
I think they're great.
Did you like...
Almost everything they do.
What was the No Country for Old Men?
Did you like that?
Yeah, I did like that.
I did not like the way that ends.
Ends very abruptly.
I don't need that.
Yeah.
I need you to wrap shit up tight for me.
It does sort of suddenly end weirdly.
You're like, look, it ends just like real life.
Hey, douchebag, this ain't real life, right?
I paid for a movie.
I'm not looking for real life.
I can get real life in real life, right?
How about making an ending that's cool?
Well, do you like it when they wrap it up so much
you're like, that's the worst Hollywood ending?
Like, Crazy Heart?
No, you know what I fucking hate
is when they put text on the screen to wrap it up.
No, no, you can't cheat like that, you fuck.
I did it right now.
Yeah, no, show me some more shit.
Either show me some more shit
or shut the fuck up.
You can't just make me read
at the end of your movie.
I want a motion picture, not still words.
I'm not here to fucking read.
I'm here to see shit happen in front of me.
Yeah, I don't want to read.
Seven years later. Come on, man see shit happen in front of me. Seven years later.
Come on, man. She married.
Had a baby. The only excuse they ever
have is when it's like a real story, like
he's still alive today. Oh, okay.
Cool.
I'm glad you made that caveat.
I mean, there's some shit you want to wrap
up. You don't want to have a guy like fucking
Rod Sterling stand in front of the camera and explain everything
to you with a suit on. You're absolutely right.
Throw me up some text real quick and we're good.
You know what I could do without Forever is, it worked in a few movies,
but when they do a comical what happened to each character thing,
it's always like a few funny ones and then like
just total shitty ones that totally ruin it.
Like even in some of the great movies, they have some that are like,
that magazine cover wasn't so funny, Stripes. Stri stripes is one of those movies that's so fucking good and they did it early
enough and you did feel real uh affection for the character so they each got magazine covers
was exciting for them but a few of them were like that's not funny yeah well it was it was hard to
come up with something i'm sure but the ending of stripes it's just so disappointing in comparison
to the first three quarters of it.
It's such a classic comedy
for like three quarters
of the way in
and then it kind of ends
like they just have to
like tie it up somehow.
Yeah,
they have to go off
somewhere and blow shit up
like it has to have
like some sort of big thing.
What about Clue
when they had three
different endings
and you could go to
three different movie theaters
and you could choose
which ending you liked best?
Yeah,
and the endings
were all terrible
and what preceded it
wasn't interesting enough
to even care
about seeing
a different ending.
Those movies were awful.
Bill Murray was so fucking funny
during the Stripes era.
Like,
he could do anything
and make me laugh.
Anything he did,
I would start smiling
as soon as I would see
that guy on screen.
He was just so good.
He's great in Zombieland,
I'll tell you that right now.
Oh,
that was the best.
I've seen that.
You haven't seen Zombieland?
Oh,
you've got to get to see Zombieland. I keep 50-50. I get tell you that right now. Oh, that was the best. I haven't seen that. You haven't seen Zombieland? Oh, you got it.
It's really... I keep 50-50.
I hear people telling me it sucks.
Well, the best thing about it now
is that the best part about it
has been ruined.
So you can go ahead
and take a pass if you'd like.
I don't think it's been ruined.
It's a fun surprise
in the middle of the movie.
It's one of those ones
like he sees dead people
that you probably shouldn't say out loud
in front of anyone
that might not have seen it yet.
Was anyone going to watch Zombieland tonight? And you land tonight and you're like still wants to see it yeah man
i'm almost right you're gonna get he's gonna put you in a something some kind of lock
you're gonna want to tap out friend camel clutch did anybody here in the audience see who did
anybody in the audience see it that didn't like it zombie land wowand? Wow, that's strong. Yeah, this is a pretty
Zombieland crowd.
I think they all liked it
more than I did.
I liked it a lot,
but I think people liked it
even more than I did.
Woo!
Woo!
There you go.
You ever go to a movie
expecting one thing
and then it's totally
something else?
Shaun of the Dead.
Really?
Yeah, I did not expect to
love that movie.
I thought it was just
going to be so good.
Which one?
Shaun of the Dead. Oh, yeah, yeah. That'd to love that movie. I thought it was just going to be... Which one? Shaun of the Dead.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It'd be a fun surprise.
I knew I'd like it.
I mean, I heard enough about it ahead of time.
But, yeah, that's cool when that happens,
when you just don't really know about a thing.
Top five now.
And then you just stumble into it, and it's amazing.
Yeah.
I wish they'd have it more often,
but I guess things have to be marketed, you know?
When I went and saw Sweeney Todd,
I didn't know it was a musical.
Like, it's the worst thing ever.
You're like, sweet Johnny Depp, man.
It's gonna be, oh, fuck, man.
You're like, it's the worst.
That's how I was like the opposite
with Edward Scissorhands.
I was like, why aren't they fucking singing?
This movie could really use some singing
because it's a lot of standing around
discussing the same situation over and over again.
He's got scissors in her hands.
What else can we say about the guy?
He's wonderful at cocktail parties.
All right, so let's play a Lettermont game.
We're running out of time.
So I hope somebody runs away with it.
Let's get some people for you guys to play for i always pick from over here we have uh david uh joe rogan will play for you
and then uh tommy we will have sam tripoli play for you sorry and erica no you can be good at
this sam and erica oh this is the first time he's gotten high in months though uh erica we're gonna
have a brian down there play for you.
I had to look at Brian in case I thought maybe he had
a name tag on.
But he's one of my guests.
Can we play the blues?
Do you play the blues?
That's a very Crossroads hat you got on.
Oh, okay. Crossroads.
That's a movie reference.
A really long time ago movie
that doesn't replay on cable.
Alright. Is that the... That was the Karate Kid? a really long time ago movie that doesn't replay on cable. All right.
Is that the...
That was the karate kid?
Yeah, Ralph Macchio
becomes a blues singer.
It made perfect sense
after he became
a karate master.
Oh, wasn't there
some sort of spirit?
That kid could do anything.
Supernatural aspect to it?
Yeah, yeah.
There was like a...
The Robert Johnson story?
There was like a black ghost
with a guitar
in the middle of a cornfield.
It was weird.
I did not care for it.
Let's let Brian pick from the categories of, do you want to hear, should we do a music biopic, a western, or a campus comedy?
Campus comedy.
All right, here we go.
You get to pick the year, Brian.
You want to go 2006, 94, or 84?
94.
Okay.
Sounds like you might have an idea already.
Len gives it two stars in his review.
I might squeak in a half.
I enjoy it.
Political correctness is out of control.
That's one of the things he says about it.
And then another thing he says about it is
there's a clash.
A clash occurs in this campus comedy.
Don't they all have a clash?
All right.
You got
ten names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Wow. Brian Redband, producer of
the Joe Rogan Experience. I thought I'd be better at this.
Five. Five names,
he says. Joe Rogan, how many
think you can get it in? Or do you want to say, name that
movie, Brian Redband? Name that movie.
Alright. You get five names.
You get Parliament Funkadelic.
You get George Clinton
and...
Jake Busey, Sarah
Trigger, and Jessica
Walter.
Dead.
You have no idea? No idea.
It's a classic, I think.
Jon Favreau was in it.
Megan Ward, David Spade, Chris Young
and Jeremy Piven. It was called
PCU.
Everyone was giggling when I said political correctness
as a clue because that really
gives it away because that's the name of the movie.
Political Correctness University.
He wouldn't actually give the name.
He wouldn't say that. Yeah.
I'm smarter than I look.
I'm smarter
than I talk. Alright, so
Joe Rogan got the point on that one.
And we'll start with Sam this time.
Would you like to do westerns, war movies,
or movies that feature Leonardo
DiCaprio, who stars in
Inception that opens Friday?
They're not paying me to say this. That's going to be awesome.
I love
that movie. Sight unseen.
I will go
with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Okay. And would you like
for a year, would you care for
Wait a second.
I'm doing this all wrong.
Boom.
Would you like 2006, 2004, or 2000 straight up?
2000.
Let's go 2000 straight up.
All right.
I like it.
Sounds like you, Sam.
I'm in.
Two and a half stars.
Pretty accurate.
Leonardo DiCaprio plays a young American.
Has he ever not?
That's one thing that bugs me about him
is he looks really young even when he's playing
adult characters and none of the other
characters go, you look really young.
Like he never gets carded when he goes anywhere.
Alright.
And then he also calls it consistently interesting
if sometimes muddled.
Consistently interesting if sometimes
muddled and DiCaprio interesting if sometimes muddled.
And DiCaprio plays a young American.
Two and a half stars from the year 2000.
And Sam Tripoli, you get seven names.
Try to name it in.
How many do you think you can do it in?
Seven.
Nice opening bid.
We go to Brian Redman.
Four.
Four names. Whoa. Joe Rogan, what do you think of that? I say Redman. Four. Four names.
Joe Rogan, what do you think of that?
I say name it. Oh my god, Joe Rogan's gonna take this thing down right now.
I have a good feeling about this.
Do you want the clues again, Brian?
Sure. Okay. Two and a half
stars. It's from the year 2000.
What does Leo play?
A young American.
And it's consistently interesting
and sometimes muddled.
You've got to do it in four names.
It's four people I've never heard of.
Oh wait, there's one I've heard of.
There's Peter Youngbug Hills.
Youngbug? Youngblood.
Peter Youngblood
Youngblood Hills.
That's his nickname.
Robert Carllyle.
We all know from
Trainspotting and other things.
Paterson Joseph.
And Guillaume Canet.
Guillaume Canet.
You said 2000?
Is it The Beach?
Yes, it is!
Whoa!
Nicely played.
Younger sister.
Also starring
Very strong
Virginia LeDoyen
Tilda Swinton
And Leo
That was very strong
That was a
Powerful move
That came out of nowhere
Alright we're gonna start with Joe
We have points for Joe and Brian
First person to two wins
And Joe you can pick between
Westerns
Campus comedies Or war movies Westerns Oh confident wins. And Joe, you can pick between westerns,
campus comedies,
or war movies. Westerns.
Oh, confident.
2007?
If it's one movie that I know, I got it.
Okay. 2007,
1995, or 1960?
95.
Good, because 1960 was a mistake.
I meant to do the Unforgiven the more modern one
that Clint Eastwood did but there was a John Houston one
that's what I was hoping you would go with
I was psychically trying to
plant that in your head
I wanted to go with it
it's a stoner move because I just picked them off the top of my head
and Unforgiven is a
very memorable western
but this one from 1995
gets only two stars from Len.
Yeah.
He doesn't care for it much.
I'd say this is an example of a movie where I love it
even though it's probably not particularly good.
He says
of the movie that
Woody Strode appears briefly
as a coffin maker.
And your other clue is this was Woody Strode's
final film.
And there are
14 names.
I'll take all 14.
Let's go.
Joe says 14 names.
What do you say, Brian?
13.
Name it, son.
Sam.
No, no, no.
That's Sam's turn.
12. You went the's turn 12 12 from Sam
how many Joe
name it bitches
alright
I give up
12 names for
Sam Tripoli
do you want the clues again
sure
you were so much fun
the first time
two stars
I like it
more
Woody Strode
approves beefly
as a coffin maker.
This was his final film.
Good thing it was brief.
How many names did you say?
Seven? Twelve.
Was it really twelve?
Seven, that's fine.
It was twelve? Alright.
I was twelve. He was thirteen, twelve, right?
No, he went 14
I went 14-13-12
Stoner move
So confident of himself yet so wrong
It's 70
Okay 12
Bruce Campbell
Faye Masterson
Olivia Burnett
Gary Sinise
Pat Hingle
Lance Henriksen
Keith David
Kevin Conway
Roberts Blossom
Tobin Bell

No you don't know what it is
Yeah
Was that 12 names?
That's close
No
You're fucked son
No you get two more names
Leonardo DiCaprio
And Russell Crowe
That just made it even
Oh shit
God damn it I got it
motherfucker Sammy do this give it up Sam I can't believe I don't got this I'll take this one down

least when it's my bitch give it to me well you get the point either way even if you don't know
joe but what is it quick in the dead that's correct the quick in the day with gene hackman
the great gene hackman he's the best actor of all time i've decided and i wish he would keep
making movies really and uh sharon stone yeah he was amazing in royal tenenbaums didn't you i I think he's awesome but I think Gary Oldman's my favorite actor of all time
he is great too especially one movie where he's all weird
all right so Joe once our winner is our friend David over here and he gets the
copy of Sam Tripoli's CD called Crime Fighter.
What's that available on, Sam?
Nothing.
Come find Sam and try to get one off of him.
Your website?
You can put it on iTunes.
I can do that.
You get a copy of Joe Rogan's
Talking Monkeys in Space,
a stand-up comedy special.
That night when we were in Vegas,
I went back to my hotel room and that was on.
And I watched some of that shit.
It was very fun. Thank you.
And I'm happy to give you a copy of that. Oh, wait.
There's more. And then a copy of my
CD, Professional Humor Idiot, available on
AST Records and thrown across the room.
And then finally you also
receive a, thank you very much,
a Pot the Vote t-shirt.
Doug Benson's Pot the Vote tour. Listen to the first part of the podcast for all those dates I'm not
gonna say them again and congratulations David you went all that stuff in a
dirty laundry bag and the losers has always get to pick a shithead so could
you guys the three of you say anything that you want to plug right now while I find out who they would like me to call a shithead, so could you guys, the three of you, say anything that you want to plug right now while I find out
who they would like me to call a shithead at the
end of the show. But just plug anything you have coming
up, starting from, this will start,
people start hearing it on Friday.
Twitter.
Okay, what's your name on Twitter?
Is it just, should they just go on there
and hang out until somebody seems really high
and wearing a hat?
I was talking about this website.
It's Redband, R-E-D-B-A-N.
Or Redband.com.
SamTripleE.com.
I have my naughty show.
It's July 29th at the Improv.
It's going to be a really great show.
Very excited about it.
Am I going to be in that?
Doug Benson will be live and in charge.
Powerful Doug Benson. be live and in charge.
Powerful Doug Benson.
TMZ, too.
TMZ, yeah, we were just on it, so it was pretty sweet.
He's going to be there again?
Maybe.
Sam Tripoli on Twitter, too.
All right, cool.
And Joe, what do you got? Joe Rogan on Twitter.
I'm at the John Lovitz Comedy Club this weekend, Saturday night, at Universal.
I've never been there.
It's fun.
Is it?
Yeah.
Is there a UFC fight attached to it?
No. Because if Joe Rogan, if you're listening and Is there a UFC fight attached to it? No.
Because if Joe Rogan, if you're listening
and there's a UFC fight in town,
Joe Rogan's probably doing stand-up the night before
and it's a lot of fun. You should go see him.
Also, I can't recommend enough
watching UFC fights. It was my first
time seeing one live and
I had a blast. Fortunately, Brian had a little
weed so we went to his room and got
high first. Because if I wasn't high,
I might have gotten under my chair or something.
Because it is so brutal
and so exciting to watch in person.
It just taps right into your chimpanzee DNA.
Yeah.
If they threw a rock in there and somebody used it,
I would stand up.
Stand up and applaud.
And I generally am not.
I'm anti-violence But that is awesome violence
What people worry about
What people worry about
When it comes to this kind of stuff
Is that the acceptance
Of this kind of violence
Is going to lead to
You know
Heightened things
It's sort of like the internet
You know
What
You know
You get so numb
After a certain point in time
Like you need more
And more extreme things
Like if they really wanted
To go Christians and the Lions
If they really put it on TV
and we accepted it,
I'd fucking watch it.
We'd all watch it.
They'd have a dude with a sword and a tiger
and they locked him in this big pit filled with dirt.
Whoa, that's going to be on TV?
I'd watch it.
What do you think?
Do they have ring girls?
Running man.
I think people at a certain...
While we're evolving,
we need to be controlled a little bit.
I think it's not a bad thing.
Yeah, yeah.
You're saying you'd watch it, but you're not necessarily for it.
Yeah.
So I think MMA is like the end.
I think that's as crazy as shit could get.
I think it takes it up enough.
I had such a fun time, but I wasn't like, oh, if only...
There was lasers.
Come on.
He beheaded him.
Where are the weapons?
With a fatality move. With some sort of spike in there. Fatality. Yeah so that you're right it's it's just right it's
just right there let's stop there let's agree as a race yeah yeah but uh but check it out when you
get a chance i mean that would be better than wars just have mma bouts between countries
five-man team to represent just like you know bring them in there represent every white class
oh you guys got your ass kicked. How about you shut the fuck
up and get out of Kuwait?
Be real simple.
I like to go out on the biggest laugh in the show
and that was pretty much going to be it.
That's impossible.
That was intense. But after the
Pot to Vote tour, you can see me at Parler Live
in Bellevue, Washington
August 5-7. And the next
Benson Interruption in LA is on August
9th at Largo
What is the Benson Interruption?
I'd like to have you on it sometime
I have a comedian come out and I sit on stage
with them and I just talk during their act
I just say whatever
I want to say, kind of like what we just did
just now pretty much but
you've got a plan and I don't know what it is
and I say whatever I want to say
people love it, it's a lot of fun and Comedy Central picked it up just now, pretty much, but you've got a plan, and I don't know what it is, and I say whatever I want to say, and you don't know what I'm going to say.
People love it. It's a lot of fun,
and Comedy Central picked it up for
a six-episode series in the
fall.
That's great.
That's great, Doug. Congratulations.
And as always at my
live shows now, wear your name tags if you want
to get me to play Leonard Mullen game with
people from the audience
at my shows. Thanks again to Joe rogan brian redman and sam tripoli
you guys are a great crowd experience and as always leonard malton is a shithead and
mel gibson is a shithead
now it's time we're done to watch another talky eyes of gold is viewing prowess makes him cocky
there's no room in his heart for you
