Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby-sitchy seats
With 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies Yeah!
Ho, ho, ho, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies.
Coming to you once again from the UCB Theater Franklin Avenue location in Los Angeles!
It's Tuesday,
December 11th, 2018.
Santa's gonna be here in two weeks.
Did I really write that down?
Oh, I get it now. It's a setup.
Here we go. Santa will be here in two weeks,
but fuck presents. I want name now. It's a setup. Here we go. Santa will be here in two weeks, but fuck presents.
I want name tags.
Although somebody did give me a present here on stage.
And I will open that later because it feels interesting.
Not sure what's going on in there.
What do you guys got?
Oh, some Christmassy ones?
Yeah, yeah.
Amos and andrea right that's you the movie amos amos and andy yeah and then white what chris mike white chris mike
all right oh the right steve he went uh with the, the right Steve. He went with the right stuff.
You see, like, well, just Mike is doing Christmas.
Where's another Christmassy one?
Right here.
Oh, sorry, dude.
Right here.
What does that say?
Santa Josh conquers the Martians.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, good job, dude. What are that say? Santa Josh conquers the Martians. Yeah, yeah. Okay, good job, dude.
What are you drinking?
Beer.
Beer.
What are you, in a movie?
I love it in a movie.
I'll have a beer, and the person by the bar goes,
what the fuck?
A beer?
Don't you know what kind you want?
Well, great job, everybody.
Thank you for bringing those name tags.
As you can see, we'll just have three of you getting chosen this evening
when I get my guests out here.
But this was an interesting experiment.
I decided that I wanted to give money to a cause,
and I said that I'd give $100 for each person who bought a ticket tonight.
And up to $99 because that's how many seats this theater has when it's completely full.
But a lot of people bought tickets that don't live anywhere near here just to get me to give $100
to the charity.
And I'm happy that we made that money
and that UCB got way more than...
UCB sold a lot more than 99 seats,
but to people who aren't here.
So that's why these two folks
have a really great section over there
on that side.
But I just want to briefly introduce you to the inspiration for this charitable moment
and bring out on stage Adam Green and his adorable Yorkie Arwen.
Oh, here, just sit right there. So technically you're still in the audience. Corky, Arwen.
Oh, here, just sit right there.
So technically you're still in the audience because they had an issue with a dog here at UCB,
so they have rules now.
I mean, look at this one.
This one, if he flips out, she flips out,
it could be absolute madness.
She likes being on stage.
But she is adorable.
And how many years now have you had this marathon?
This is the third year.
Okay, so basically the idea is Adam is co-host with Joe Lynch and with Arwen of the Movie Crypt podcast.
And you're doing a marathon this weekend, Friday to Sunday.
Yes, it's a 48 hour marathon so
we we go on the air on friday at five and we stay on the air until sunday at five yeah and this is
their podcast so it's just an audio live audio show for all that time if you're watching a movie
or tv show you'll tell people what you're watching so they could sync it up and watch it with you
yeah we have we do a lot of live commentaries, but the guests
are amazing and they come
every hour, around the clock,
the whole two days
straight.
It's all to raise money for Save a Yorkie
Rescue. So the tagline is
we're staying awake so that
they don't get put to sleep.
Oh, Lord. I almost
reminded you backstage to not say that.
I don't know why you say that every time.
You also like to say that you're going to save
a wheelbarrow full of Yorkies,
and I just don't like that image either.
You see the poster?
The poster's us with wheelbarrows filled with Yorkies.
We don't know how to quantify it,
because so far we've raised about $40,000
in these two marathons we've done.
Thank you.
And people are like, how many dogs did you save with that?
And there's no way to tell because some of them have been so horrifically abused.
It's thousands of dollars in surgeries and stuff.
And then other ones just need fostering.
And so we just try to say, we say it's in wheelbarrows.
And so we just try to say, we say it's in wheelbarrows. So like if we raise $10,000, I think that's like something like 111 wheelbarrows of Yorkies or something like that.
But last year, Doug was the patron saint because he opened the marathon and then was so into it that he stayed awake with us,
even though he was at home and was tweeting about it the whole time.
And we did a comment. I got some Z's in. Did you? Yeah, I slept a little bit. that he stayed awake with us, even though he was at home, and was tweeting about it the whole time.
I got some Z's in.
Did you?
Yeah, I slept a little bit.
Also probably went grocery shopping, did some things that weekend.
But I did stay in touch with the podcast the entire time,
because you guys are great.
The concept of doing a charity thing like that, I love it.
And also part of the event this weekend,
they're going to be doing auctions of various cool things,
including a guest seat on an episode of Douglas Movies.
So be sure to, you know, where do they go to?
What's the website called? It's 32auctions.com.
And then it's slash Arwen 2018.
But when you listen to the marathon,
there's links and stuff right there.
So you don't need to remember all that.
Yeah, good.
And sometimes we raise a pretty good amount of money
for, you know, a guest on the show.
We'll see how we do this time.
But no matter what, you know,
some jerk out there could bid 10 bucks and I might have to have him on the show. We'll see how we do this time, but no matter what, some jerk out there could bid $10, and I might have to have him
on the show. If no one else outbids him.
But usually it goes pretty well. Is there anything else we need to
touch on? I think that's it, but the guest lineup this year
is insane. Joe Dante is opening it, and then we're doing a live
reading of Chris Columbus's
early draft of Gremlins
back when it was a hard R.
We're doing a reading
of George Romero's
script for The Mummy.
A lot of people don't know
he was supposed to do
a Mummy movie at one point.
Bob Goldthwait is coming on.
Tom Lennon.
It's going to be a really...
Oh, Marcia Gay Harden,
Academy Award winner.
So it's going to be... Oh my God, Harden Academy Award winner. So it's going to be really good.
Joe Lynch has such a hard on for
Harden.
They work together.
Yeah, they work together and he loved it.
But thank you for...
Oh, that dog is...
Oh shit, that's video. Sorry.
Hang on, just
photo. Arwen! Arwen!
Look at me! God damn it arwen god damn i'm trying to save your
friends oh there you go that's a good shot thank you adam green and arwen thank you have a great
marathon this weekend raise lots of money for those pups save a bunch of them
I brought for the prize bag tonight
a
no puppies
oh my god hey bring Arwen back here
I want to put her in the prize bag
no this is a
this is a
like a ukulele case that I got
at the Hard Rock Hotel they put some nuts in it when I checked in.
And I was like, oh, that would be good to put stuff in and give away.
And so it's got a Doug Loves Movies T-shirt, a couple of lighters,
and a Doug Loves Movies sticker in there.
Plus the stuff brought by my three guests.
And as you guys can see, is that me or is that a loud noise? Oh, it's stopping. So he's probably just using the bathroom or something.
Well, oh, there it stopped. Oh, I think one of my guests was doing that backstage.
Oh wait, Doug plugs Take five back there

guests out here.
Please give it up
for Zach Marino,
Jessica McKenna,
and Paul F.
Tompkins.
Doug, get off my cord.
Sorry, Paul.
Doug, sorry.
I can't do the whole show like this. Doug, what happened to the table?
Do you not do the table anymore?
We didn't do the table today
because we've got
Eric Calvert on drums
and Scott Passarella on keyboards.
Yeah.
I don't follow the logic there,
but okay.
We couldn't have...
Listen.
They're not taking up the space
that a table would. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't really think too hard about that okay. It couldn't have... They're not taking up the space that a table would.
Yeah, I didn't really think
too hard about that part. It just felt...
Two more people plus instruments.
No table.
It's just that when I've seen the
Off Book podcast, let's hear it for them, you guys.
This is Off Book with Zach and Jessica.
Every time I've seen it, they just sit on
chairs like this and they don't have a table.
So this is you reaching across the
aisle. Yeah.
This is a bipartisan effort.
We've been famously
stonewalling each other for four
years, refusing to
collaborate. Finally he said, you know what?
I'll put the table away. And we said, well, do your
show. And sometimes I think
I don't even need a table
Maybe right now cuz you've got stuff in your hand. Yeah, Doug
Here let me take it. Oh, thank you. Put on the ground. The ground is the biggest table of all that's true. It's nature's table
All right, so all right
We gotta ask Zach and Jessica Either one of you can respond
What's going on with
Off Book the musical podcast
Where can people hear it where can people see it live
They can hear it wherever
They find their podcast and they can't see
It live for a little bit
Unless they're in
Bethlehem Pennsylvania or
San Francisco those are in January
There's nobody in either of those Yeah nobody lives there in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania or San Francisco. Those are in January.
There's nobody in either of those places. Nobody lives there.
And also...
Same weekend? Weird booking for you guys.
Well, we're splitting up.
I'm going to do it in San Francisco.
We're going to Skype him through.
San Francisco is part of Sketch Fest.
That's like the 18th, 19th
and then the next weekend in Pennsylvania.
And also,
Zach and I have an album
of music we wrote
that...
Well, I mean,
didn't you improvise it
at some point?
Well, yes.
That's a great point.
All thoughts are improvisations
in your mind.
So really,
a song has never been written.
Yeah, that's true.
Every song has been improvised
until perfect
yeah
so really
improvise
repeat
this whole time
I've been like
creating separation
when we do
but it's ridiculous
it's the same thing
yeah but that comes out
January 18th
but you can get
three tracks right now
if you search
the Zack and the Jess
there's a Hanukkah song
a Christmas song
and an emo
pop punk song
about the universal
experience of having
waiters
over-explain small plates to you.
I was in London for the London Podcast Festival.
Nice.
Went out to dinner with a large group of people.
It was a small plates place.
The waiter refused to believe
that we understood what small plates were.
Yeah.
He asked everyone, do you know how this works?
And we were all like, yes, we do.
And then he was like,
all right, here's what happens.
He wouldn't accept it.
Did he explain that they get bigger
as you go down the menu,
you need to order more,
and they're going to come out.
Now you're doing it.
Well, boy, have we got a song for you, Paul.
Did you know that you needed to sing along
in the style of like Panic at the Disco about that?
That's what we got.
Thanks for asking.
Oh, you're welcome.
And Paul F. Tompkins is here.
Thank you.
Big supporter of Yorkies and all that they do.
Yeah.
So very happy to have you here for this special event.
Yeah.
And what do you got to, what's going on with you these days?
I mean.
The usual stuff.
Everything's good.
Okay.
You might want to maybe think about what you might want to plug
and we'll do it at the end of the show.
Maybe I came at you with it too early.
I'm doing a bit. I'm busy all
the time, guys. I've always got stuff going on.
I'm trying to think of
this time. When does this come out?
Tomorrow-ish.
Get ready for fucking
PCAST Blast this Saturday
at the theater at the Ace Hotel. That's right, downtown
LA. I'll be a part of
three shows during that
all-day event. Not back-to-back
though. You get some breaks? Yeah!
Back-to-back would have been
preferable.
You don't want to sit around there all day.
No, I love... Downtown LA is a wonderful place
just to wander.
You know, just to be like.
That's how a lot of those people down there started.
Yeah.
I'm going to put my phone in a
locker and I'm just going to walk around.
Just lose
myself. Yeah. I like it.
And everything I have.
Alright, tell us about what you brought for the
prize bag tonight, Paul.
Instead of bringing some self-promotional bullshit like I usually do,
I brought some seasonal food.
Look, here's some treats.
These are Lindor truffles.
These are very classy.
And they're a Christmas theme.
They're peppermint white chocolate truffles.
It's good. Yeah, they're like slippery marbles that you suck on until they go away.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
And then Pez.
Santa Claus Pez.
That's right.
And that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's the Pez slogan, right?
Yeah.
Pez.
That's right.
Have you ever wanted to eat out of Santa's neck?
I think, isn't that like, I think there's a whole Christmas song about that, if I'm not mistaken.
Santa, when you come shimmy shimmy down my chimney,
I don't have cookies and milk for you. Santa, when you come shimmy shimmy down my chimney,
I don't have cookies and milk for you.
No, if we are sitting by the fire, there's one thing I would like to do.
Let me suck something from your neck.
Just bite into Santa's Adam's apple Just chew on it until it goes away
Bye bye Santa Claus's neck
Take a big bite out of Santa's apple.
And wish him a Merry Christmas Day.
That's right.
Pez.
Pez.
Oh, Pez.
Oh, Pez. Oh, Pez.
Oh.
That was their rejected slogan.
Yeah.
That's like, you can use this as a fun curse.
Ah, Pez.
That's right, kids.
Now you can curse in front of your parents and there's nothing they can do about it.
You'll never know.
My brother and sister used to spell Nintendo to each other
when they wanted to go play it,
like my parents would know.
Spelling words.
The grown-ups can't do this.
Hey, hey, N-I-N.
That's so bad.
I think they could do it fast.
They're like, hey, do you want an N-I-N-T-N-E-O?
Oh, okay.
That just sounds like E-I-E-I-O or something.
Doug, what did we bring?
Yeah.
Well, last time...
Doug, do you want to know?
Doug, do you want to know?
So last time when we were here,
we pointed out that we are poor
and don't get cast in movies.
So we were quickly like, that was our swag.
But we have a little bit more.
We got this bag for doing a Soul Pancake charity show.
Inside of it is, we have a beautiful leg.
Oh, that's nice.
Smell like licking maca.
And we have a Pathfinder lick-toed goblin.
Oh, mahalo.
Mahalo.
And then you have to guess the theme of the bag at the end of the bag.
Also, a series of stickers from our podcast off book.
Oh, mahi-mahi.
Also.
This was a piece of swag.
This fell apart.
Okay.
But it is a small bundle.
Of wood.
Of the big island.
So you can burn that and you can purify your home.
And then finally, you know, everybody loves pins.
Why not a pin
that says Barada 2020?
It's whimsical
because it's as if
a cheese was running
for public office.
Oh, and then...
And then another pin
from our fake emo band
Every Place I Cry.
And that is all part
of the theme,
things we put in a bag.
Yeah.
Oh, that was the theme.
That's the theme.
Stuff in a bag. Bag things. That's the theme every week. I'm glad you in a bag. Yeah. Oh, that was the theme. That's the theme. Stuff in a bag.
Bag things.
That's the theme every week.
I'm glad you brought a bag.
So far, we don't have one.
So we'll throw everything in there.
Everything can go in this bag.
We'll consolidate, as we like to say.
Oh, Paul.
I'm playing like I tried to steal it.
That was very fun.
I get mischievous at Christmas.
I call it Christievous.
Ooh.
Christievous. Well, Christievous.
Well, what happens when you're feeling Christievous?
Well.
Every year at Christmas time, I get a little twinkle in my eye.
A twinkle, a twinkle, a twinkle.
Every year at Christmas time, I make my parents want to die
I play little tricks and I'm a little bitch
And no one likes it at all
No one likes it at all
No one likes it, bad Paul
No one likes it, no one likes it No one likes it bad Paul no one likes it
no one likes it
no one likes it at all
when you are one
Christian is Paul
it's true
sure
well
little pranks
pranks Christmas pranks
Christmas pranks
we need more
we need more have you pranks. We need more.
Have you been to the cinema lately, Paul?
Doug, I'm here to tell you that I haven't been inside the cinema,
but I have rented films at home.
So you still have access.
I do.
To motion pictures.
They can't keep me away from them, Doug.
What was the last one you saw?
The last one I saw...
Here's two that I saw.
That I'd never seen. I missed the first time around.
Mars Attacks, which I'd never seen.
I loved that movie.
I thought it was hilarious.
It's a really strange movie
that I found very entertaining
and enjoyable.
Number two, I finally got around
to watching the remake of It.
Oh.
This is not good, guys.
The first
scene in the sewer is the best part.
Yeah. That's early on?
Very early on. And you still got a lot of
It to get through.
And it made me realize, because I had seen
the miniseries. I've never read the book. Books because I had seen the miniseries, I've never read the book,
books.
I'd seen the miniseries
and then I watched this movie
and it made me realize
that Pennywise
is a very incompetent
child killer.
He's not good at it, guys.
He's not good at it.
It takes him forever
to kill such a small amount
of children.
He's got to do a whole song and dance
about their greatest fear.
You've got to figure that out
and try to work something up.
People on Twitter were like,
he drags it out because the fear
makes them more delicious to him.
I'm like, yeah, according to him.
That's what he says.
Why is he the unimpeachable source here? I think he's terrible
at his job and he should be
fired.
You would prefer
us to replace him with a more competent
child murderer. If the job needs to be done
which I guess we've established it does.
Then let's get someone in there
who knows what they're doing.
I only saw this one and then it led me to, like, a Wikipedia, like, what's up?
And, you know, where you leave the theater, and you're like, all right, but, like, what's up?
And book spoilers, I guess, but it's so crazy.
There's an inner dimension and a turtle,. Like all from a scary clown movie.
Stephen King.
I mean,
I feel like I'm safe in saying
this cokehead
had some plot holes in his books.
It's almost like sometimes
things were like overwritten
and that's like four stories
but then one that maybe like
an editor that he would allow
to touch his stuff
would like make it a little clearer.
We don't talk enough about how Stephen King's editor was also
a cokehead.
This makes perfect sense to me, man. This is really good.
I already mailed it off.
Here's your copy.
Did you hear about how
Stephen King wrote
a book about a killer Yorkie?
And there's someone over there who's intrigued.
And it became a Broadway musical that closed in one night.
It closed during the performance.
No, Doug. Tell us about it.
I wanted you to sing about it.
I've never had this happen to me.
What a strange feeling I'm having.
Like that character in the musical that talks things every time it's his turn.
I loved that preamble.
I thought that was great.
I had to come up with something.
I thought you were going to jump into it.
Oh my god, he's getting so excited.
In the dark of the night
I hear the tiniest I hear the tiniest bark
Before the tiniest bite
You can still die from it
You can still die but
It's a painful death
Of a thousand cuts
The smallest murderer ever.
You're not safe when you run
or when you jog.
Cause it has so much energy
and you'll never see it coming.
You just got murdered
by a tiny dog.
But wait!
The mayor's here to talk, sing us,
throw us a plan.
Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!
Mr. Mayor!
Citizens of Arlenia,
Mr. Mayor!
This dog is a problem.
This dog is
a problem.
Did we name this town after the dog or did it name us?
Where did it start?
But Mr. Mayor, how will it end?
With torches, go.
Torches and torches.
Kill the dog.
Kill.
Oh, sorry.
They're stopping us.
Oh, we're being closed.
Oh, we're closed?
Is this horrible?
Is this supposed to be a benefit Broadway show?
Oh, sorry.
And we were just chanting Kill the Dogs?
We understand why we're closing.
I'm so sorry.
Okay, yes.
But this will still be the original cast recording?
Okay.
Oh, you're still recording right now?
Right now?
All of this goes on the track?
That feels weird, because you can't edit it?
Your editor's on cocaine?
Okay.
Yeah, I understand.
Doug Benson, everyone.
Just remember, we were in a musical together.
I do.
I just talked.
That's right.
You did a great job.
Doug and I were in a musical called Waiting for Studio 54,
where Doug played Andy Warhol
and I played
Truman Capote.
Uh-huh.
Both were super accurate
portrayals.
Super accurate.
And it was
those characters
plus Halston,
Liza Minnelli,
Martin Scorsese.
The whole gang was there.
All waiting for
to go to a party
on New Year's Eve.
Brooke Shields and her mom.
Brooke Shields and her mom.
Terry.
That's right.
But anyway.
It sounds great.
It was really fun.
I really wish I could see it.
This is the part of the show where I say,
let the games begin!
Yay!
Yay!
Doug as Andy Warhol sang a song called
Why Would a Woman Wear a Dress More Than Once?
A dress more than once, it just doesn't make sense.
It was great.
This sounds great.
It was great.
It was neat.
Tenacious D was in it.
Can I ask a question?
Is everyone mad here?
I feel like there's a weird energy happening.
They're just here to save Yorkies.
They don't care about trivia or musicals.
This is not your regular audience.
This is exclusively a Yorkie-saving crowd.
This is a Yorkie-saving crowd.
They're here to take care of business, not to have fun.
Okay.
They're here to save Yorkies.
But they did bring some name tags.
And so I'd like each of you to select who you would like to play on behalf of.
I agree to your terms.
And while you do that, we'll do this.
We'll be right back after these messages from...

After 10 years apart,
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly
are finally back together on the big screen
as Holmes and Watson.
This Christmas, the beloved stepbrothers duo
are bringing their own outrageous take on the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal but sometimes overlooked partner, John Watson.
I didn't even know his name was John.
Watch as they take on a career-defining case that will test both the limits of their minds and their friendship.
When Holmes and Watson join forces to investigate a murder at Buckingham Palace, they must solve the mystery
in four days, or the Queen will be the
next victim. Hilarity
ensues. Written and
directed by Ethan Coen,
Holmes and Watson also stars
Rebecca Hall, Rob Brydon, Kelly
McDonald, Hugh Laurie, and
Ralph Fiennes, as
you guessed it,
Moriarty full of disguises
killer bees and Victorian era
selfie sticks Holmes and Watson
is the comedy you don't want to miss
this holiday season head to
Holmesandwatson.movie to watch
the trailer and sign up for updates
and don't miss the comedy event of the holiday
season Holmes and Watson in theaters
on December 25th
that's Christmas back to the show.
Alright,
we're back. That was a very mellow
name tag selecting
process. Jess and I fought a little
bit, but it was silent.
But
usually people, some people are yelling out,
pick me, pick me, but you know,
as Zach can attest, you have
some candy canes dangling from your sign
that's going to get picked.
Oh, and a joint there in the middle, I believe.
Or a hypodermic needle, I'm not sure.
These guys found all the food ones.
You just taped a clean
needle on there in case you need it.
Is that what it is? What is that?
No, it's like a joint inside a little casket.
It's what?
It's a dead marijuana joint.
A dead marijuana joint in a little casket. It's what? It's a dead marijuana joint. A dead marijuana joint in a little casket.
Oh, sure.
And will those candy canes get you high
as fuck?
Okay. Asked and answered.
Oh, yeah. I've never had
a candy cane that's been medicated.
Why not? That sounds like a no-brainer.
I mean, I haven't had one because
no one's given me one, but... Why not? That sounds like a no-brainer. I mean, I haven't had one because no one's given me one.
Why not?
Listen, you seven-year-olds.
Who are you playing for, Paul?
I'm playing for Mike.
And I chose Mike's because it's lenticular.
This is Mikechete Kills. He took Mike Machete Kills.
He took Machete Kills and he put Mike on the front. Yeah. Fun.
Right there.
Do you get to keep that?
Does he get to keep that, Mike?
Mike says he can keep it. Mike, I'll return it to you.
I mean, I feel like I've seen the cover and I'm good.
Yeah.
I'll save you guys well some trouble and just take care of that right now.
There we go.
He's got his precious machete back.
You didn't buy an additional machete kills in order to...
Oh, okay. All right.
Yeah, that's not a double.
I can't bear to rip that from your library, Mike.
He probably has the DVD and the Blu-ray.
Jessica.
Guys, what's happening?
I feel like...
I feel like there's such a steep drop-off.
All of a sudden, we get a couple quips out,
and then it's like, we're done.
The songist knows when it's time to move on.
I guess so.
And it's immediately.
It's now.
Now.
And now.
Keep this moving.
What is Jessica's pun name that she chose?
We must hear.
What is it?
Christmas Vacay Ian.
Christmas Vacay Ian. Christmas Vacay Ian.
National Lampoon.
It's a big fan.
Big fan.
Big fan of this film.
Oh, you're a big fan of the film?
Yeah.
Okay.
I assume.
Well, Ian, are you also?
Ian might be as well.
Yeah, two thumbs up.
Or he just needed a movie that had Ian in it.
Both.
Both, yeah.
I appreciate the season.
A happy accident. Both. Both, yeah. I appreciate the season. A happy accident.
Yeah.
Here's the thing
to look for
the next time you watch
National Lampoon's
Christmas Vacation.
The animated sequence
at the beginning,
Santa's got such tiny feet.
You guys can look out
for that.
Every time,
I'm floored by it.
Oh, I can't wait
to see it again now.
I never noticed
his tiny feet.
It's right at the beginning if you've already watched it this year and you're like, I can't wait to see it again now. I never noticed his tiny feet. It's right at the beginning.
If you've already watched it this year
and you're like,
I can't do a second viewing,
you just watch the beginning.
I mean, an Easter egg
in a Christmas movie?
Come on!
I'll fucking mug.
I don't care.
Maybe there's a lot of
non-English people
in the crowd.
Get these people going
with some mugging, yeah.
There's people from Yorkshire.
Got derailed from a tour.
Vossi's on?
There's some candy on there, too. Do you like
that candy? Yeah, this is great.
Hershey's cake flavor?
Candy cane. Oh, candy cane.
And a
Reese's Pieces treat.
Reese's Pieces treat?
Treat. Is it supposed to be? Oh, tree. Yeah, it's in the shape of a tree. It's got some pieces in it. Reese's Pieces Tree? Treat. Tree.
Is it supposed to be?
Oh, tree.
Yeah, it's in the shape of a tree.
It's got some pieces in it.
It's okay.
I shouldn't have yelled treat.
No, it's all right.
I'm scared that we gotta move on.
We gotta move on.
What is this, Funky Town?
All right.
And Zach was talking about his name tag earlier,
and I just totally moved on.
We already talked about the very good
joint in the coffin at the bottom,
but we've got White Chris Mike.
I might have gone with Mike Christmas.
But White Chris Mike is also very good.
Hey, potato, potato.
That's just my punch up.
White Chris Mike.
I mean, Mike Christmas would be a pretty cool fucking name.
But it's just some very good work all around.
And guys, I'm loving this, but we have to move on.
We've got to get to these games, you guys.
Like, I wish we had time for a song about how we gotta get to these games.
Hit it, fellas.
Yes, let's slow it down.
Welcome to the Olympics
Oh, the games are about to begin
But they don't start for another hour or so
So y'all just settle the fuck in
We promise the games are coming
The games are coming soon
But it's the motherfucking Olympics
So calm down while we set the mood
We'll get to the games
When we goddamn well feel like it
We'll get to the games
When we decide to
Hey girl
I know you travel from another country
To see people doing ancient feats of strength
Like they had in Greece or whatnot
But this song is very important to us
Because we're getting attention.
So, once we feel like we've filled that hole inside our hearts,
then, and only then, let the games begin.
We'll get to the game. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo case That's super fun, yeah. I'll do one. Do one.
It's like Trump with the coin toss.
Oh, my God.
I got this.
Coin toss, use a pen.
That actually was better.
It flipped around.
It did not flip around at all.
I need this, though.
You do need that pen.
I got to write some stuff down.
All right, so we started a little late tonight,
so hopefully we won't go too late,
but I've got some games worked out for you guys,
starting with something I call Purple Rain Man.
This is a...
Yeah.
Give it up.
This is a game where I'll say the stars of a movie mashup title like Purple Rain Man.
Then what do we do, Doug?
Jesus.
Guess like the wind.
Guess all you can until somebody gets the full correct mashup title.
And I'll tell you right now, this is not an easy one.
Oh, okay. I'll tell you right now, this is not an easy one. Oh, okay.
I'll tell you right now. I'm going to be bad at this.
I'll tell you right now.
I don't think I understand.
This is different than
Build-A-Title.
Yeah, but it is
title smashed together like Build-A-Title.
So like Purple Rain Man,
the stars of Purple Rain Man
would be Prince and Dustin Hoffman
I understand now guys here's what's going on
okay
he's going to name a couple actors
okay and then we have to guess
what the movie would
be based on two
of their famous movies
I see so we don't just say Prince
and Dustin Hoffman
that's what I was going to do.
But I think you're right.
He does that.
I think he does that.
Can we get clarification for what he does?
Yeah.
What do you do?
He goes, he goes, yeah.
Look what I got.
Paw Patrol.
That's cute.
Okay.
So he's distracting us.
He gave us, there's so much cute dog stuff tonight. That's cute. Okay, so he's distracting us.
There's so much cute dog stuff tonight.
I think that he goes Prince and Dustin Hoffman,
and then we always say Purple Rain Man.
Okay, great.
So it's just a call and response.
Yes, anytime he says Prince and Dustin Hoffman,
we say Purple Rain Man. Okay, got it.
Great, got it.
Doug, we're ready to play Purple Rain Man.
Oh, hey, I'm sorry.
I was just having fun with this little doggy somebody gave me.
It's cute.
All right, third build.
We start from third build and work our way up to the top build.
Why did we do that?
That wasn't part of the explanation at all.
Oh, yeah.
This is like a reality show.
There's a twist every turn
this is the beginning
it's already a turn
why would it be a twist
at that turn
it's twisting and turning
third builder
Tim Conway
and Peggy Lipton
I'm just gonna breeze
through this
second build
Suzanne Plachette
and Dennis Quaid
and then the top build people in this movie mashup title are Dean Jones and Josh Gad.
Oh, my God.
Josh Gad.
So the first part of the title is a movie that stars Tim Conway, Suzanne Plachette, and Dean Jones.
Okay.
Yeah, not a current film.
And then Peggy Lipton
Dennis Quaid
And Josh Gad
Were in a movie
That was
I believe last year
Maybe this year
Paul can I talk to you
Real quick
Excuse me Doug
Wait you guys are
You guys are competing
Against each other
You know that right
I understand that
Paul can I talk to you
Real quick
Yeah Zach what's up
He did not do the thing
That you said he was going to do
Should we still say
Purple Rain Man
I'm scared to advise you To do that Because I feel like It might be wrong No no it's okay I got it that you said he was going to do. Should we still say Purple Rain Man?
I'm scared to advise you to do that because I feel like it might be wrong.
No, no, it's okay.
I got it.
I like to guess, Doug.
Okay.
Purple Rain Man.
Incorrect.
Okay.
Great guess, though.
I had a feeling.
Okay, Josh.
At least you're in the game.
Okay, let me go with...
Off Book of Mormon.
Sorry.
That's good.
You got a plug in there?
Thank you.
You mentioned a great musical as well.
Which Josh Gad was in, so...
Okay.
All right, so... I'll just tell you this.
Maybe this will help you guys out.
Dean Jones plays a man who turns into a dog.
Okay.
All right.
Does that help at all?
It does.
It helps with part of it.
Yeah.
I won't lie.
And Josh Gad is a guy who's the voice of several dogs.
Okay.
Uh-oh.
No at all.
Okay. Wait.
Okay.
You got it?
I have the shaggy dog's life.
No.
Okay.
I like it, though.
It was a good guess.
Thanks.
There was a Shaggy Dog
and then they made another one.
They made a sequel
to the Shaggy Dog.
The Shaggy DA.
Mm-hmm.
That's true.
That's what it's called.
It is true.
Because the man
who turns into a dog
is also a district attorney.
What if the man
who turns into a dog
has a job?
Yeah.
That's going to be quite a... Yeah, the first movie is just a homeless man turns into a dog has a job? Yeah. That's going to be quite a scary situation.
Yeah, the first movie is just a homeless man turns into a dog and no one notices.
Yeah.
No one's expecting him anywhere.
He doesn't have to make any excuses or anything.
It's like, yeah, that was weird.
I was a dog for 48 hours.
Okay, so that's the first part
and then there's this crazy
dog reincarnation movie
called A Dog's Purpose
A Dog's Purpose?
So this is the Shaggy D.A. Dog's Purpose
I didn't know that
is the answer I was never gonna get
The Shaggy D.A. Dog's Purpose?
Yes
Fuck you!
Wait, wait, wait.
I have a better idea.
That doesn't work at all.
Is the DA even in the right place?
Yeah, the Shaggy DA.
What is the name of the dog's purpose?
Does it have dog in it?
Is it the Shaggy DA dog?
It's the Shaggy DA and a dog's purpose.
Why would it be Shaggy dog's purpose? If the first movie was a Shaggy dog, why would it be Shaggy D.A. and a dog's purpose. Why would it be Shaggy Dog's Purpose?
If the first movie was a Shaggy Dog,
why would it be Shaggy Dog's Purpose?
Because the connection's just the article A.
Just A. D. A.
Shaggy D. A. is in the middle.
But it's...
No!
No, it's unacceptable.
D. A dog's purpose.
Unacceptable.
Okay, wait.
Let's try the version of the game we thought.
Yes.
When we say Dustin Hoffman Prince, you say Purple Rain Man.
Dustin Hoffman Prince.
Purple Rain Man.
We did it.
It's a perfect game.
Great game.
So everybody wins.
Yeah.
That's right.
No matter who wins
Everybody wins
Movies
I just had a hard time
Thinking of two movies
That have dogs in them
That the titles could link up
You know
How about like
The Shaggy Dog
There's no movie
That just starts with the word dog
How about
How about
Dog Day Afternoon
That's good
There's no dogs in it Dog Day Afternoon, that's good. There's no dogs in it.
Dog Day Afternoon's a purpose.
Oh, I can't believe I've gotten away with this game for so long.
Finally somebody came along.
All right, so we've got to play one that's easier to understand.
And I think I've got the perfect one for that.
It's called How Long Is It?
I'm going to name a thing.
You guys guess how long it is.
All right.
Person with the closest number without going over wins.
So not necessarily a movie.
No, it's just a thing. Household objects.
A plane.
Long can be both
time and energy. How long is that plane?
Yeah. It's about
four hours.
Four hours or
300 feet. Okay, and I dare
say that Paul came the closest
to potentially winning that last game.
So, Paul, you'll go first.
Okay. I think because you're physically
closest to him.
It's easier to remember.
And then there's...
And then we'll go to Jessica, then to
Zach, and... That sounds fair.
Yeah.
Sometimes going last in this game is helpful
because you get to hear the other bids first.
Yeah, it's like Price is Right
without going over.
Closest without going over.
Ooh, I'm gonna bid one minute.
At the start
of the Tom Hanks movie
Turner and Hooch,
how long
does Scott Turner
have left in the local police department before he moves to a bigger city to get some real cases?
Can I go first?
He's tired of these fake cases.
And you were first, Paul.
How long has he been transferred?
At the very beginning of the movie, he's like, I've got this long to be here, and then I'm off to the big city.
Okay. I'm going to say
in a classic ode to the Barenaked Ladies,
one week.
Yes, ma'am.
All right.
Jessica?
I'm going to say
six months.
Okay.
I think
they put a real ticking clock
at the beginning of that movie.
I'm out of here in six months.
We'll see what happens.
A lot could happen.
I swear,
if Turner & Oates takes place
over the course of six months,
I will watch that movie.
Fair, fair. I don't think
I really understood the premise of this movie.
I thought I did, and then I didn't.
And then I caught up real quick.
I haven't seen it, but I assume that
he quits his job
and then has to get a new job
at a different police station, so
he would have to put in two weeks notice.
So I'm going to say two weeks.
Wait, wait, wait. Can I amend my answer?
Yeah. I'm going to say
like four and a half yards.
Wait, that's how long he was
just stepping until... Hold on, I want to change
my answer too.
Five
hands.
Wait, wait, wait. I have one too. Five hands. Wait, wait, wait.
I have one too.
I think it's a trick question
because I haven't seen the movie, but I bet he never
transfers. So I bet
infinity.
He has a literal eternity
until he takes his job.
Well, I'm saying at the beginning of the movie, he says out loud,
this is how long it's going to be.
Sure, I'm answering a different question.
What is the truth?
Is that allowed?
Can we make up our own questions to answer?
Okay, so what are your final answers?
Infinity and something about a ladder measurement of space?
Oh, sorry.
If we're answering any question, Peter Scolari.
Okay, Peter Scolari is always the answer.
I'm going to stick with one week.
Okay.
Can we get a number out of you, Jessica?
Do you really want to stick with a man's name?
I'll go with
one month.
Five hours.
Five hours?
Okay.
Oh, wait.
No, this is easy enough to figure out because it's closest without going over
So Zach wins
because it's three days
Three days
They only give those characters three days
to fall in love and learn from each other?
This is wild
Did you know that Hooch is a dog?
One of them's a dog.
I assume there'd be more of a thawing period.
There's a scene where Tom Hanks has to cry,
and according to IMDb,
he cried because he really liked that dog
and it was the last day of the shoot.
Aww.
He's like, I'm never going to see this dog again, so.
Yeah, they put him to death right after the filming stopped
yep
I mean
if anyone could hook up
seeing that dog again
Tom Hanks is choosing
to not see that dog again
if Tom Hanks wants
to see that dog again
you'd think he'd have access
but
he'll make it happen
you know the real owner
probably just got jealous
at how much they bonded
you know how it is
like when you're in a shoot
you're a family for that time,
but then you go back
to your real life
after the shoot.
I guess,
but who's this dog owner
that's like,
I know Tom Hanks
wants to visit my dog,
but no thank you
having Tom Hanks
around my house.
But any owner
who knows they're going
to get upstaged by Tom Hanks,
that dog will never love them
as much as Tom Hanks is there.
I don't think Tom Hanks
has the same sway
with dogs as me.
Do you think dogs
have a concept of people?
Do dogs have a concept of fame?
So if the dog
is sitting there
with the owners
Arwen seems unaffected
by what's happened today.
Arwen, Arwen, where are you?
Where's Arwen?
Right there.
Has fallen asleep.
She's asleep.
Oh, no, she's up now.
Did she like the dog
in Stars Born?
Because Bradley Cooper
kept that dog
that's nice
yeah
the owner was like
what
he's like
I'm keeping this dog
and then as he's
pulling away
the owner goes
hey
and the dog turns around
and he's like
I just want to
take another look at you
I stole a dog
on Busy Phillips talk show
she had Brian Tyree Henry on
who's in Widows
and interacts a lot with a dog
and they brought the dog
onto the show
to reunite them
and he was so excited
I was like
I don't know why talk shows
are doing that all the time
here's the dog you worked with
yeah
it can't cost that much
to get the dog on the show.
He was thrilled.
That's so great.
It was great to watch.
There was a dog on this show once.
It was tonight.
God damn it.
My memory's really...
She's right there.
Yeah, this is the second dog,
because we had Jumpy the dog on one time.
Jumpy?
He did all of his tricks.
He pretended to pee on my leg and all that.
Sounds like a fake dog.
What was Jumpy's number one trick, would you say?
Jumping.
Absolutely named.
And just seeming very nervous all the time.
I know a lot of dogs are going to do that trick.
Not nervous, but just very hyper and guarded.
Excited.
Kind of like I'm
inhabiting a world
full of people
that are bigger than me
and could hurt me.
Yeah.
Dog things.
Yeah.
I live in a world
of monsters.
Yeah.
But I know
which ones are famous.
We have to move on.
You're right.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Boop, boop, boop, boop.
So this...
There's a little one in there.
Just a little one.
Let's play Last Man Stanton.
Yay!
Named after that infamous time
when Paul and I
had to convince
Harry Dean Stanton
that Twitter was a thing
was an interesting episode
if you want to go back
and listen to it
he demanded to know
what it was
and then we told him
and then he said
it was bullshit
yes
it's like we tried
to save you the trouble
Harry Dean
yeah and there was no one there to sing about moving on we really had to It's like, we tried to save you the trouble, Harry Dean.
Yeah, and there was no one there to sing about moving on.
We really had to, like, really walk him through it.
Jen Kirkman was there.
All three of us gave our explanation of what Twitter is.
He wasn't buying any of it.
I mean, what is Twitter?
I know, right?
But he wasn't being philosophical about it. Everybody, everybody, everybody log on, log on, log on.
What is Twitter?
I'll tell you who doesn't care what Twitter is.
Harry Dean Stanton.
I'll tell you no matter how much I talk about raving and ranting.
How people can like a retweet and I think that's helpful and neat.
Harry Dean Stanton doesn't think it's real.
And in fairness, he's right.
Twitter isn't real at all.
I put so many characters into the bubble,
and I put them out onto the internet and then nobody calls.
If you think Twitter's real, then you're wrong.
If you think Twitter's real, then you're wrong.
Harry Dean Stanton improvised this song.
If you think Twitter's real, then you're wrong.
He improvised it so many times that he wrote it,
and he gave it to us to perform tonight.
That's how it works.
Go ahead, tell us.
Tell us, we have to move on!
Tell it to our face!
It's just a gentleman Trying to use the crapper
Bullshit's his trigger word
Doug what's next?
Last man standing
I'm gonna get
Actually
Little twist
I'm gonna name three
People I'm gonna name three people.
I'm going to name three
people and then you guys take turns naming
movies that that person, persons
have been in. I don't think they've been in
any movies together. And
if you can't think of one,
normally you'd be
out, but tonight
we've got a special lifeline.
And you win. What? You win. Oh, if you can special lifeline. And you win.
You win.
Oh, if you can't think of one, you win?
Normally you'd be out. Tonight,
you win the game. I can't believe I've never thought of that.
Now that's a twist at a turn.
Yeah.
No, tonight,
if you can think of a movie,
but you just can't think of the right title,
each one of you has one time.
Did they mic the sink in the bathroom?
I think so.
I think we should have told that gentleman
to hold off on doing his wash.
Oh, it's gone again now.
But I don't think the listeners will be able to hear it.
Too bad.
I know.
They're really missing out.
That's why you got to come live, guys.
Missing out on the live experience.
Got to see the live show.
These people know.
Okay.
No, if you can't...
Oh, he's back.
Hey, nobody else go.
There's not that much show left
and you're going to make that hideous noise.
Yeah, dude, you just made a hideous noise
while you were in the bathroom.
It's not the one you're thinking of.
No.
It was the sink.
Yeah.
It probably smelled great,
but it made a terrible noise.
Probably smelled great.
Yeah.
Okay, so if you can't think of a,
if you want to try to describe the movie,
which players do sometimes,
they just start kind of thinking out loud
and describing the movie.
If you describe it in a song,
and I can guess what movie you're singing about,
then you get saved.
What a wrinkle.
Yeah.
Special musical wrinkle.
Who won that last game?
Was it you, Paul?
Yeah, I bet it was.
No.
No, now that I think about it,
it wasn't.
Because you said one week.
Yeah, against literally all odds,
I think.
Yeah, Zach did it.
Zach took that one.
So we'll start with Zach.
We'll go to Jessica.
Then we'll go to Paul. And I picked to Jessica. Then we'll go to Paul.
And I picked three people.
So you're going to be naming the films of,
when it gets to you,
name a film of any one of these dudes.
Oh, boy.
Snoop Dogg.
Bob Barker.
Or Colin Firth.
Colin Firth. Colin Firth.
Okay, great.
Zach, start us off.
The films of those three giants
in the world of entertainment.
He only has to name one movie
that one of them has been in.
But don't say only
because I'm having trouble already.
He nearly has to say...
He only has to do that.
Just one movie featuring one of those three gentlemen.
His tiny task is naming a movie.
Yeah.
Oh, you think if he just names one,
one of those three guys is probably in it?
Chances are, I mean, it's three guys.
Right.
How many movies are there, ten?
Three guys into ten
I mean that's good odds
I mean if you don't
count prequels
if you don't count prequels
ten yes
yeah don't count prequels
I thought you said
you don't count pickles
and I do
you better count
your pickles young man
love actually yes it is Snoop Dogg whoop whoop You better count your pickles, young man. Love Actually.
Yes!
It is!
Snoop Dogg!
Whoop, whoop!
All right, so Colin Firth was in that.
Good job.
Jessica?
I'm going to keep the Firth word.
Very good.
I'm going to keep the Firth.
I'll leave it at that.
Keeping the Firth.
Who's going to come in Firth tonight?
Bridget Jones's diary.
I'm going to keep the home
Firth burning
and say
Kingsman
the
secret
of Nim.
Is it Kingsman the Secret Service?
Yes.
Yes, you did it.
That was a close one.
All right.
Back to you there, Zach.
Kingsman
the Golden Circle.
Paul helped you out with that one.
I said it like I didn't know, but I did know.
Bridget Jones's Diary,
Edge of Reason.
Ooh, yeah.
One of the great titles.
Like, did she murder
somebody in that?
Isn't there a Mel Gibson movie with that same title?
Bridget Jones.
All right, next.
Happy Gilmore.
Happy Gilmore.
There we did it.
The Bob Barker movie.
Great job.
Bob Barker's off the table, you guys.
OTT.
I can tell you right now, he's not in any other films.
Which, that is a pristine film career.
One and done.
One and done.
Big hit.
Just a big fight scene,
a lot of punching,
and then swearing,
and see you later.
As himself.
I think he got to mention
spaying your cats,
and neutering your pets.
Yeah, he spayed and neutered
a cat on screen.
Yeah, there you go.
Same cat.
That was weird.
It's not weird
we're back Zach
Bridget Jones' baby
wait what?
I have no idea
isn't that one of them?
sure
literally no one
can confirm or deny
in this audience
it is
there's definitely one
where she has a baby
but I think it's called
like
baby's day out of Bridget Jones I think it's called Baby's Day Out of Bridget Jones.
I think it's called Bridget Jones' Baby.
What I don't know is if Snoop Dogg is in it or not.
All right, I'll let you stay in another round
of you singing a song called Bridget Jones' Baby.
Sure, sure.
She had so much trouble trying to pick a man.
They were both just too good.
So she hit a puck, she hit an acorn in her hand.
And then she put both hands behind her back and she moved it back and forward.
And then she put it back
in front of her and she said,
Colin Firth, if you could pick
which hand has an acorn,
then I will have your baby.
But I'll keep it for
myself.
And Colin Firth said,
that's destructive behavior.
But I love you, so I'll pick the right one.
What the hell?
And he had Bridget Jones's baby.
Because he picked the hand with the incoordinate.
True. Beautiful song.
Beautiful.
All right, Zach, you got one more round,
and then we'll be back to you again.
I will bow out if you can guess the riddle
that I just came up with.
Wait, I've never been asked to guess a riddle.
I have to guess what the whole riddle is?
Yeah, exactly.
What is my riddle. I have to guess what the whole riddle is? Yeah, exactly. What is my riddle?
I have combined
two movies.
Purple Rain Man.
Purple Rain Man.
It's like that. Ready?
Bridget Jones and Tom
Cruise. Yeah, Jerry Maguire.
No. One of the movies
has already been said.
Oh, I know it. If you you can guess it I will bow out
Bridget Jones' Edge of Tomorrow
oh
that's not how that works
and that's how you make up a game
alright so I wanted you to stay, Zach, but you're out?
I don't know.
I can't do that to Mike, but yeah.
That was a promise I made, so yes, I'm out.
Okay.
I don't know why you're making promises.
Who got the promise?
A promise he invented himself that he's holding himself to. I guess, yeah.
That hurts an audience member.
We're just finding out about this promise. Yeah, I know.
We weren't a part of it. An 11th hour reveal.
I would never do that to you,
Ian. Two thumbs,
a silent two thumbs up.
Thanks, Ian. Okay, I'm pretty
sure. People hate that title,
Edge of Tomorrow, that Tom Cruise
movie. It's people call it Live, Die, Repeat.
But the original title of the movie was The Edge, Edge of Tomorrow, that Tom Cruise movie. It's people call it Live, Die, Repeat. Live, Die, Repeat.
But the original title of the movie was The Edge of Reason of Tomorrow.
So go ahead, Jessica.
Boy, oh boy, I got to say The King's Speech.
Yes!
I got to say The King's Speech.
Yeah.
That was a fun movie.
I love Star Wars.
All right.
Paul, what do you got?
We got to get out of here.
Soul Plane!
It's been a great... Oh, yes.
That's a good one.
Great job.
Okay, it's back to you already, Jessica.
No, it's my turn again, I think.
Oh, okay.
I'll promise.
I apologize.
I apologize. He will okay. I'll promise. I apologize. I apologize.
He will break a promise to himself to keep a promise to Mike.
But it's a real twist and turn because I actually can't think of any.
But just to show that I do have to bow out for real and not just fuck over Mike.
I really thought you had one.
I was so excited.
Not at all.
You couldn't even take a stab
with Soul Plane 2?
Soul Plane 2.
What's the rest of the title?
Soul Plane 2, Souls on a Plane.
There is no Soul Plane 2,
but I think that title's probably
going to go into development.
I'm so relieved.
I thought there was a Mandela effect happening.
I was like, I don't remember a Soul Play 2.
Jessica?
And they have to be films.
They can't be beloved miniseries.
Or concepts.
It has to be a film.
Or times I think I was at the airport with them.
It can't be like a Katy Perry video.
It's got to be feature length.
Okay, great.
Firth, Firth.
Snoop, Snoop, Firth, Firth.
Firth, Firth, Firth.
Firth, Firth, Firth Firth oh gosh
ask the audience
oh
what do you mean
ask the audience
you said they had a lifeline
yeah
no lifelines
wait I thought
sing it
oh yeah
you could sing about it
but I don't know
what she's talking about
she's just saying
Snoop Snoop Firth Firth
can you sing about
any movie
what a relief
what
wait can I get,
can I ask the audience for just an,
I mean, there's got to be one more prestige
British drama he was in, right?
Oh, for sure.
Is there one that you can't,
you can picture, but you can't think of the name?
No, I can't think of anything at all.
But I think as per your rule,
if you sing about a movie
and Doug can guess what movie you're thinking about,
Oh, interesting.
Oh, great. Then you win.
You're right. Okay, here we go.
Okay, well, great.
Hey, can you guys play something upbeat at some point?
There we go.
Hey, Scott, can you play something different?
Sorry, that's really hard to hear what it is.
It's real like...
Yeah, the bells were like multi-tonal.
Unprecedented.
Let me pick a chord in this thing.
I mean, no, play it.
Fucking play it, play it, fucking play it.
Here's a song, here's a song about a movie
And you, I guess, the movie when I sing it
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing about this movie.
It was good, the gutter part was really scary.
And you live up a beer.
It's like a marinade for the child meat.
Is it?
But is it?
Is it?
But what is it?
Is it?
What?
It?
Yeah.
It's like that round of charades
where you have to say the name of the thing
that you're guessing
In that round of charades where you talk
Yeah
Paul
Your turn
Starsky and Hutch
Yes
Paul, yes Yes, Paul Starsky and Hutch yes oh oh yes
yes Paul
yes Paul
is that it
I think Paul wins
we both like
sang out our lifelines
that revealed
we didn't know
any more beyond it
I know one more
Firth
I think
I'm pretty sure okay what is it for what it's beyond it. I know one more Firth, I think.
Okay, what is it?
For What It's Worth.
Yeah, For What It's Firth.
Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy?
Yes, title role.
Title role?
Yeah, he was all for it.
He was versatile.
He had multiple personalities like that. He's the Tinker, the Taylor, the Soldier, and the Spy.
Exactly.
It was all one man.
Paul F.
Hopkins is our winner.
Sorry,
Ian.
Come get this stuff.
Where is,
where is,
who are you playing for?
Oh,
right here,
right here,
right here.
Okay.
Here you go,
dude.
Here's your stuff, Mike.
Yeah.
Here you go, too.
And yeah, that's it.
There you go.
That's all you get.
That's right.
Oh, pass me your name tags, you guys.
And one more time, where, Off Book, does it have a website?
Do you have an offbook.com or something?
Off Book, the improvised musical.
You can find everything that Jess and I are up to, including our album release and all of our live shows
at thezackandthejess.com.
That's Z-A-C-H is how Zach is spelled.
Jess is spelled normal.
But that's thezackandthejess.com.
It has everything that you need.
Zach with an H isn't normal?
I don't know.
There's just lots of ways to do it.
And if I just say it out loud.
I think it's neck and neck with the K now.
Yeah?
Yeah. There's lots of ways to do it. I think it's neck and neck with the K now. Yeah? I've seen the straight up
C and then hard stop.
I don't like that.
Efron.
That's just Efron, right?
He's the only ZAC?
Oyama?
I think.
Does it that way?
He does. That's true.
Up there with Efron.
Do you think he's hoping they'll get confused for each other? I think that Does it that way? He does. That's true. Up there with Efron. That's true.
Do you think he's hoping they'll get confused for each other?
I think that's his strategy. We have to move on.
We have to move on.
We gotta go.
We gotta go.
Apologies to whatever's happening next year.
It's another show that I'm in, by the way.
Oh, okay.
We're gonna hang out at 11 o'clock.
Colonel Redbird improv's happening right here.
That won't make any sense for anyone listening to this on the podcast.
We have to move on.
These guys can hang out.
This name tag, though, with the candy canes doesn't have a shithead on the back. We have to move on. These guys can hang out. This name tag, though, with
the candy canes doesn't have a shithead on the back.
Do you have anyone in mind?
Santa. Okay.
Wow, someone's very upset
about the choice of Santa.
Not now, sir.
Just remember,
he isn't doing for you.
There's no worse person you can think of
at this particular point in history.
Sticking with it.
You know what sucks?
Santa Claus.
That guy can fucking eat it.
Works one day a year.
I'm sorry.
Does he work one day a year?
Does he work all year long leading up to delivery?
We'll never know.
We'll never know.
He's dead.
His secrets died with him.
No Christmas this year.
