Doug makes candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies Hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is my love for movies.
Coming to you once again from the
Barbershoot Arts, Comedy, and Music Festival.
I didn't mean to give music third billing.
That seems to be the main thing.
In Seattle, Washington!
One of my two favorite states
in the country, because you know why.
It's Sunday, August 31stst right august 31st 2014 wolf street fight terminator 2 judgment
day of the dead men walking tall the president's men in black fisher king ralpha dog day afternoon Fisher King, Ralph Dog Day, Afternoon Delight, Sleep Perfect, Murder by Death Wish, Three
of Me, Ghost World, Hand of Watch, Men Don't Leave, Las Vegas, Food Law, Jingle, all the
Wayne's World, Fastest Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom's Days of Thunder!
I thought I couldn't memorize things anymore,
but there you have it.
Let me see your name tags, Bombershoot.
Beautiful, you brought name tags.
Let's move on.
We've got one hour and four great guests, you guys,
so I just want to get them out here.
Does that sound good to you?
Oh, but first, Vegas, come to the Plaza Hotel on Saturday, September 6th at 420
if you're in or near Vegas for another attempt at a Doug Loves Movies taping.
This time with, I think it's going to be air conditioned this time.
So I'm excited about that.
The prize bag includes a beautiful poster created by Barry the Art Guy,
at Barry the Art Guy, for my Duck Dynasty special that we taped last week at the Neptune Theater.
And I think there's a few more left, and so I'll be at Flatstock here at Bumbershoot right after this show
if you want to buy one for me to sign.
And I can also blow weed smoke on it if you want to buy one for me to sign. And I can also, like, blow weed smoke on it if you want.
I think that's a nice gesture.
We'll sort through the bag with these guests
because, as usual at Bumbershoot,
there's a lot of great people running around,
and one person, I don't even know why he's in town,
so we're going to have to get into that with him.
Everybody, please give a big warm welcome
to Ken Jennings, W. Kamau Bell, Rory Scovel,
and Werner Herzog.
Thank you. I was like, let's put the chairs in front of the table
so that the people don't just lean on the tables
like they're at a cocktail party,
and then you guys just arranged it
so you could do that anyway.
So I guess it's just natural.
Also, got to say, I'm impressed
that none of my guests have spoken yet.
That's never happened.
Usually somebody has something to say right away.
You guys are frighteningly quiet right now.
Let's start with Mr. Werner Herzog, everybody.
Dankeschön.
Dankeschön, Doug.
What a pleasure it is to be here as always.
Somebody yelled something at you, I think.
Are you okay up there?
Coming from where I come from,
we tend not to encourage the yelling of mobs
quite so much anymore.
It's frowned upon.
I apologize for
encouraging it. What did you bring for the prize
mag? I brought, of course,
applets and
cutlets.
The snack beloved by the elderly to remind us that the grave awaits us all.
It's also a nice summertime treat.
And of course, as I abhor nature, I brought the most chemically thing I could, a five-hour energy drink.
It's made of pure science.
Yeah, it's grape-flavored science.
Oh, grape. I wish I'd read the label more carefully.
I don't like that it's flavored by something natural.
I wish they had one that's called electricity flavored.
It's the flavor of a USB port.
Don't act like you haven't at one time or another
put your tongue on the opening of a USB port
just to see what it would feel like
to be a cybernetic machine.
Yeah.
No hands are going up on that one.
There is no need.
The audience is unanimous.
Yes.
Here's something else the audience is unanimous about.
Their love of local phenom Ken Jennings everybody
Thank you
He's won on Jeopardy
more than all of you put together
Yeah
He's that good
But not on Douglas movies probably
Well you know it's a tough game
because anybody could throw
a wrench in the works. It's made so
that the best people don't always win.
You've got to give the losers
a chance on this show, is my feeling.
It's the Wheel of Fortune of podcasts.
What?
What?
I think Pat Sajak
is a likable fellow.
It's fun to watch people be dumb.
I don't know how much fun, though.
Sometimes the listeners of the show,
they get frustrated when the guests are not getting it,
and so I think that's part of the fun today
is that we've got four panelists
who actually know how to play,
and Ken brought for the prize bag a trivia almanac.
I enjoy trivia from time to time.
I like to keep my hand in.
Does this book pin down at what point in history these facts become trivial?
And of course, the weather conditions on that day.
Oh, no. Wow.
It's like the five-second rule.
You know, everything's trivial to me immediately.
For example.
Has anyone made a movie about you?
Because That bleak statement makes me think
There's a film in you, Ken Jennings
We should talk
We should talk after
We should talk after
We should exchange electronic business cards
After the show
I'm a true trivia addict I could just read this We shall exchange electronic business cards after the show.
I'm a true trivia addict.
I could just read this.
But instead, I'm going to introduce another guest that's here.
Mr. Rory Scovel, you guys.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Star of the show.
It's coming back for second season, Top Shelf.
That's right.
And it's on TBS.
Yep.
It's a bar show.
It's only rich people drinking.
It's called Top Shelf.
They know drama.
Boom.
Characters, no thank you.
Characters, get off our porch.
The program's called Ground Floor.
Thank you for, yes, ending me on that.
Well, I mean,
what would that have looked like? I was like, it's called Ground Floor,
Doug. You would have looked like a lot
of my guests. It would have been perfect.
It's not fucking top shelf.
A lot of people think
I'm making a mistake
when I'm just trying
to have some fun.
But you're coming back
for another season.
When does it start?
It has started
and it premieres December 9th.
So we're shooting it now
and it premieres December 9th.
Time traveler, Rory Scoville. That's a little more clear. December 9th. So we're shooting it now, and it premieres December 9th.
Time traveler, Rory Scoville.
That's a little more clear.
We've started, and it's pretty much over.
If you missed it, catch it again on December 9th.
And you brought a nice
piece of vinyl for the prize bag.
I sure did.
You brought your album
live at Third Man Records.
It's valued.
You can't put a price on that,
and that's why we're giving it away for free today.
There you go.
And W. Kamau Bell is here, everybody. You enjoying your
Bumbershoot time?
Yeah, you didn't ask me for anything
For the prize bag and I feel bad now
I texted you about it
Oh, that's my
You don't have my new number
I'm not saying you're going to get it I'm just saying you don't have my new number. Oh, okay. I'm not saying you're going to get it.
I'm just saying you don't have it.
You got some.
Well, here, I got a Starbucks card that they gave us in the goodie bag.
Oh, perfect.
Yeah, and it's got 33 cents on it.
No way.
Yeah.
You spent four something?
Four 67.
Okay.
Perhaps Doug could blow some coffee breath on it.
Oh, this, This isn't coffee.
This is some liquid marijuana that somebody gave me.
And you're not going to want any because it's grape flavored.
So... because it's grape flavored. So,
what,
what,
did I ask you why you're in town,
Werner?
No.
Kamau,
you're here,
you're doing shows all weekend.
That's quite a segue.
Yes,
I'm here doing shows.
I have a show tomorrow at one.
All right. Thank you, three segue. Yes, I'm here doing shows. I have a show tomorrow at 1. Thank you, three people.
Starting to understand
why I got canceled.
I said it about me!
We get really sweet
crowds here. You can get
them to all like that pretty easy.
Well, you know, as a father of a three-year-old,
my wife's pregnant.
She's due soon.
And it's a mixed-race baby,
which is the cutest baby.
Empirically true.
This fact transcended the aww and took it straight to applause.
We're touched by babies,
but we applaud mixed race ones.
Yeah.
Think globally, act locally.
Boom.
Characters, drama.
So I've got a salami
from Olympic Provisions in Portland.
It's a cacciatore.
Somebody gave me this.
When did I get this? Yesterday?
Yeah, you gave this to me yesterday.
What's your name, young lady? Annabelle?
And what is it?
It's tea cookies.
It's tea cookies?
But they don't have wheat in them?
No, they don't.
Wow, Doug.
Plosh British pot cookies.
Tea only.
So that's going
in the prize bag.
Wow.
Wow.
I've never seen you
angrier, Doug.
I gotta...
He's never seen
a cookie without weed in it.
It's like first time.
I'm so irate right now.
I got a buy one, get one burrito, burrito bowl, salad,
or order of tacos from a Chipotle stand here.
Through that in the back.
Here's a piece of soap I got that's just fun because
it says monkey farts on the front of it.
If that's
what monkey farts smells like,
I wouldn't mind having a monkey in my face
all day.
And then
a lady gave me a couple
of these. I was trying to spread them around. It's a
children's book, I guess. It's called If a Peacock
Finds a Pot Leaf.
So get that wherever weird things are sold.
Do we know what happens when a peacock
finds a pot leaf? I didn't skip ahead,
because I'm going to wait for the movie.
Does this peacock
trip out on its own
colorings for hours and hours?
I'm sure that's a way they could have gone
with it.
But like I said, I haven't read it. No more
questions.
The floor is closed.
And this little rubber
saveable thing, a guy gave me a bunch of them
so I keep putting them in the prize bags in
my album. All that is going to be
somebody's today.
But let's talk about movies for a quick
hot second before we play the Leonard Maltin
game. Have you been to the movies lately,
Ken Jennings? Yeah.
I saw Boyhood a couple weeks ago.
Okay.
Now how did you set aside the like
nine or ten hours it takes to accomplish that?
I watched it in real time. It took 12 years.
Oh, goodness.
Director's cut.
You've just been walking around watching it on your phone for a decade.
But you enjoyed it?
It made me sad.
I have an 11-year-old boy, and he's about to hit the unlikable part of the movie,
like the second act, you know?
Hmm.
Where's the awe?
I've just been so on the fence about seeing it,
and you really just kept me on the not seeing it side.
I saved you 11 bucks.
I'm remaining a Nazi when it comes to boyhood.
I'm a Nazi it.
Don't be sad. It's just my life that i'm screwing up
you still are enriched by it i just think it's a trap
i think it's i like to call it the terrence malick trap no this one you'll love
every time since Badlands.
Kamau, what have you seen lately?
I just saw a million dollar arm on a plane.
Oh yeah, me too.
I saw it on a plane.
It was a nice, sweet place to see it.
Yeah, I feel like it's just another part
of Jon Hamm's continuing series
of it's harder to be a successful white guy
than a struggling minority.
I knew I'd lose most of the crown on that one.
That's all right.
Ah, but he's still got
that mixed baby.
Don't forget.
Ah.
The old mixed baby card.
Boom!
Was that the actual baby
you were throwing onto the table
no that's how you make a mixed baby
that's my penis and it
boom and it explodes and my wife is like
10 minutes later mixed baby
10 minutes later yes
the gestation period is very short for the mixed baby.
All of the prizes are in a bag that says I heart Portland on it that I got while I was in Portland.
So that'll be fun for somebody here to carry around.
And then there's a look at the Doug Dynasty poster
that we're giving away tonight.
I guess they should sign it, right?
And speaking of
signs and name tags...
Oh, wait! My apologies.
Have you been to the cinema?
You two guys?
I only went two guys deep
and gave up on it?
Yeah.
Jesus.
A personal worst.
So moving on
to the next portion of the...
What have you seen, Rory?
I recently watched
the Arnold Schwarzenegger
Pumping Iron documentary on Netflix. That's fun seeing him. He tokes in that, right? recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron documentary
on Netflix.
That's fun seeing him. He tokes in that, right?
Yes, he does. He tokes in that
and he's mean to Lou Ferrigno.
I don't know
if people are booing Arnold or
Lou.
Or weightlifting in general.
They're yelling for Lou.
Lou. Lou.
Lou.
Lou.
He's not coming out, you guys.
Because he can't hear it.
Dude.
Dude.
Dude.
I didn't take credit for that.
I don't know.
Did anyone think it was funny?
I'll take it if it was.
Hey. I'll burn Lou. Did anyone think it was funny? I'll take it if it was. Hey, I'll burn Lou.
What do I care?
Werner, have you been to the cinema?
I regret that I have not been able
to go to the cinema for pleasure,
but only for research
as I'm working on a new film.
It's Sleepless in Seattle,
Port of Call colon Seattle.
Whoa.
I love that title.
In this film,
Meg Ryan
and Tom Hanks
switch roles.
What?
Oh, no.
And they have
a battle
on the top
of the Space Needle.
The winner gets to decide
whether mankind will continue as a race.
This sounds like an ambitious sequel.
I like to take things in different directions.
Well, that's the best possible direction.
Also, I've been, it's not
about movies, but I've been binge-watching
Days of Our Lives.
How far back did you go?
I started from the beginning.
I went to the Museum
of Television and Radio.
I'm just about
into the 60s now.
How long is it going to take to catch up?
Until the end of my life.
I would like the episodes I do not finish to play
on a screen on my gravestone.
So that others may complete my work.
All right, well,
that brings me to the part of the show
where I say,
let the games begin!
And begin they shall!
And begin they shall.
Brought to you by SeattlePI.com.
That was weird.
I don't know what happened to my voice there.
And perhaps Pepperidge Farm cookies?
Yes.
Gentlemen, pick your name tags.
Like the wind.
Schnell. Schnell.
Schnell.
Oh, right there.
Look at them go.
They're not messing around.
They have no commercials to go to.
Rory took his microphone with him.
I didn't want a single second to be lost.
That was very efficient, the way you guys did that.
Also,
quietest audience during that part.
Did you just size up these guys as like, if we yell and
stuff, they're not going to pick us.
We just have to pray.
Just have to hope to be
chosen.
That was very interesting.
Okay, let's move on, Doug.
Ken, who are you playing
for? I'm playing for
Greg, I assume.
Eight Gregged Freaks.
And it lights up. The spiders
actually wiggle and light up.
That's pretty cool.
Pretty excited.
Tastes like electricity.
Who are you playing for?
Come out.
Monty Python and the Holy Bell.
There we go.
And it comes with cookies.
But they don't have weed in them,
so don't get angry, Doug.
Just regular cookies.
Put them in the prize bag.
So angry.
Jesus.
What are you doing there, Rory?
Werner's trying to steal my cardboard thing.
Is your name Truey?
What?
It is Eli.
So not correct. Many will wonder who...
Not Truey.
Truey or Eli.
Well, Occam's razor.
What's that a poster of?
It's True Lies.
I was immediately drawn to it
because I just referenced this gentleman
in a film I had just recently seen.
True Lies.
And I thought,
True E is a weird name.
Right, Eli is right there
in True Lies
in the middle of that.
Yeah, it's very clever,
but he went with True E.
The E is even red
to show its
devotion to Eli,
more so than the True.
Werner, who are you playing for?
I am playing for
Saturday Mike Fever,
who has
taken the iconic poster
for the film Saturday Night Fever
and placed over it the heads of one of the contestants
and a complete stranger.
And this mic is very industrious,
and not knowing who the guests would be,
he has brought along in an envelope other heads, the heads of potential guests.
He has a couple of dogs. There's a Janine Garofalo, a Eugene Merman, a shouting
Pete Holmes. It's a shame he did not have a Werner Herzog.
But you chose it anyway.
I love disco dancing.
It is the purest expression of rage.
I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Alright, well let's give
let's give everybody else
a fighting chance
here, a running head start. We'll have
Ken go last on this first round.
Don't you
boo me.
It's just like on Jeopardy, only the
opposite of how that works.
Because the winner goes first each time,
right, when you come back? Yes.
Yeah. I'm not doing it that way.
This is more,
yeah. I'm going to teach you a lesson.
There is either a baby
or a jungle bird in this theater.
I hope it is a baby.
I hope it's a jungle bird.
So badly.
That hope will be wasted once this raptor claws your eyes out.
But seriously,
Bumbershoot is the festival with the most babies I've ever been to in my
life. It's almost, Bumbershoot
should just be, their
subtitle should be Festival
for Babies.
Because there's babies at every show.
It's pretty interesting.
They always heckle.
They always start talking shit.
Like they sleep 20 hours a day
but they wake up
just to say this show needs to stop now.
I think the weed here makes me angry.
So let's start right here with the Grey Werner Herzog, and then'll go to Rory and then Kamau and then to
Ken. I accept your terms.
First person
First person at two
points wins. We get a
four-way tie going. We get to have
the asparagus pea category.
It's one of my favorite
things that happens.
It's not one of Julie Andrews' favorite things, as it turns out.
She doesn't mention it in that song.
Perhaps it is implied.
It certainly is, I think.
Everyone has too many favorite things to name them all.
I mean, Oprah had to have specials year after year.
Golden showers.
Full stop.
I almost, okay.
At Drew Robbs on Twitter suggested,
you say Ferrara, I say Ferrara
and that's the films
of America, Ferrara or Jerry
Ferrara
no one's ever
going to pick that
Penny Dreadful, that of course
is the Penny Marshall films that
Leonard Walton gave two or
less stars and
celebrating a birthday
today Chris Tucker yeah sure please don't start yelling out names of Chris Tucker
movies it's like you almost don't know why we're here it wouldn't take that
long though we're shower one we're shower two or shower three that could be part of
the fun I just don't know if Werner is much of a Chris Tucker aficionado.
Which category would you like to play?
You save for our eyes, save for error.
I wasn't trying to goad you into picking that one.
And yet, here we are.
Would you like a movie with Jerry or America from 2008 or 2010?
2010 2010 2010 okay
Leonard gives this movie
three stars
he says
that
it's inventively
staged
and
he also says he wrote that out
could somebody pass around some happy weed for doug menton especially in 3D yeah that's probably why
I sighed
I never
think 3D
should be
recommended
but he says
it's especially
inventive in
its use of
3D
here we go
if that
baby doesn't
get a good
whipping
you ruined the show was that If that baby doesn't get a good whipping,
you ruin the show.
I feel like that baby chuckled at the idea of 3D. I think so.
Who would go in 3D?
Yeah.
By the time that kid's seeing movies,
you're going to be inside the movie.
Oh, okay.
We have
agreement.
He also calls this movie often
enthralling.
Often enthralling.
And he lists
eight names.
Can you think of any movies with America or Jerry
that were often enthralling
with eight names.
Werner Herzog.
How many names?
I can name that film
in seven names.
That's a sneaky trade. I like it.
Five names is what I meant to say.
You going to stay with that? Yes.
Five names, Rory I want him to name that film
Alright
Your five names are
Kristen Wiig
TJ Miller
Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Jonah Hill and America Ferreira.
Out of eight.
And the name of the film is?
2010.
2010.
Leonard enjoyed the staging.
Yes, he did.
Especially, he liked the 3D version a lot.
It was often enthralling.
How often do you hear that associated with the name TJ Miller?
Is this film?
is this film I can't believe you don't know this
you can't believe Werner doesn't know this
I think he'll make a documentary on this subject
someday
the problem that I'm having
is that I was convinced that it was another film,
and then when I heard the names,
I thought, that doesn't sound like the Dukes of Hazzard reboot to me.
All right.
I hate to say it, but... You got anything?
Is the film...
Shining Time Station.
No, it's...
The rest of the names are
Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler,
and Jay Baruchel,
and it's How to Train Your Dragon.
How to Train Your Dragon.
Yeah.
I'm still kidding at all.
I presume that everyone
knew the answer to this riddle.
There were a few out there
that knew it.
And so Rory's on the board
with one point.
We'll let Trui.
Me and Trui.
Ken gets to pick the next category, then we'll go to Kamau.
And you get to choose between these, Ken.
USonic on Twitter, E-U-Sonic, suggested evacuate your vowels.
And that is
movies with titles
that have no vowels in them
the vowels are completely
gone from some movie titles
strangely enough
it turns out
sometimes you don't need vowels
at laser
with a Z
but lasers spelled with an S
suggested into the Storm.
What do you think that is, Ken?
Into the Storm.
Movies about Seattle female basketball players.
Tender lesbian coming of age story about two Seattle basketball players.
No.
I wish.
I wish.
It's movies where Halle Berry has sex.
That plays really nicely when somebody has a different example
and then just sets me up beautifully.
So I was going to say that no matter what.
Because that's what it is.
I'm not going to even ask you about this next one.
Again, not trying to goad you into picking this one,
but nobody ever picks it.
Who's Your Daddy?
Which you'd think would be something about Indiana.
But I was in Indiana when this category came up.
But Who'sier Daddy is just
movies that have incest in them
is that aww like a puppy
or aww
like a kitten
would you clarify
how is it spelled
Hoosier
is the category
H-O-O-S-I-E-R
Hoosier
but there is no connection to Indiana at all
besides the incest
other than
it's not even movies
in which a cast member of Hoosiers
engages in on screen incest
no no
that seems doable, right?
That seems like a legit category.
You might have directed it.
It's not even scenes with movies that feature incest
with a basketball in frame.
Space Jam.
Tony, I've been against it.
All right, I'm just going to erase the category right now.
It's never going to get played.
But what do you think the answer is?
My plan worked.
What do you think the movie was?
What was the movie, though?
Incest movie?
Yeah, 1974.
Wow.
There were so many incest movies that year.
It was a big year for incest.
Oh, Chinatown.
Yes, it's Chinatown.
Yeah.
Oh.
One point.
Nope, you don't get shit for that.
Round of applause.
Who likes Chinatown?
I'm going to give you
a negative point for showing off.
The movie or the location?
Just the location
in various different cities.
Woo!
Okay, for your third choice then, Werner,
you get A Prairie Home Companion,
which of course is...
Is it me again?
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I apologize.
It's Ken that's choosing.
Prairie Home Companion,
that's movies with bestiality.
When you started campaigning against that category,
maybe you think it was your turn to pick.
That one tracks a little better.
And also, it's a Space Jam movie.
Yes.
Which one of those would you like?
I'll go with the Evacuate Your Vowels.
All right.
Whatever.
You would.
Cornucopia.
I would.
Yeah, you would.
Famous for liking consonants.
Yes.
Ken Jennings.
Says so in your business card.
White people be liking consonants.
Well, it's true.
It's true.
We are famous for it.
Seattle, back to me.
I'm going to get you one of my CDs
so you know I'm not famous for the white people be liking jokes.
But not exactly my genre.
That's not what people like.
That's not my thing.
Maybe you'd still be on the air
if that were your thing, man.
You're probably right about that.
No, he's right. He's right. I was suggested
that a lot of times.
I got pushed. That was pushed.
Fucking white people.
Now that I'm famous for.
Boom!
TNT characters.
Would you like a movie
with no vowels?
This isn't the movie itself.
This is just the title of the film.
That'd be an interesting dogma kind of movie making thing.
Let's make a movie without vowels.
1971, 1982, or 2002?
Which year?
Which vowel this year?
71, 82, or 02?
I will go incest.
I'll go 82.
Three and a half stars from Leonard
he calls this movie
slam bang
also a bad year for Leonard
he says
he says that it had a sequel
and he says that one of the performers in this movie
is nothing short of sensational.
Yeah, and I forgot to mention,
a favorite amongst babies.
I bet you none of the baby noises
are going to be even on the podcast,
so we're going to all sound crazy
talking about all these babies.
Do you hear babies? I hear babies.
Listening audience, you must believe us
that babies exist.
I haven't heard a baby cry
in a movie theater in a long time, though, and it seems like they finally
got the hint on that one.
Or am I just going at the right time?
You feel as if the babies
finally got the hint.
Yeah, the babies are finally like, don't take us anymore.
Those first words.
And then he lists
a whopping
14 names?
Ooh. Yeah, I think it's 14 names. Ooh.
Yeah, I think it's 14 names.
For Ken.
I can name it in 12.
Confident delivery.
Big man.
Bam.
12 and a half.
That's not so funny.
That's a smart opening
bit. I just like how he said it.
Twelve, I don't know.
This is beneath me.
The hell is a movie?
Alright.
Okay, I can name it in.
I can name it in
five.
I'm just going all in five I'm just going all in
I'm just
Five
Five short of all in but sure
Yes
You pushed a lot but not all of it
I pushed a lot yes
What's Rory going to do with that
I think this is a test
It's all a test
He's going 12 you're already pushing to five.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Let the record show I'm doing Michael Jackson's bad dance move, yes.
But I think it's beat it, beat it.
It's getting to me.
It's getting in my head, I'm not going to lie.
It makes me so nervous.
Ah!
Ah!
I don't know.
This is more fun than that place where they throw the fish.
I'm gonna go with name it name it Oh he says name it
Kamau gets
Five names that I assure you
Will lead him to the correct answer
And we'll put him on the board
But let's see what happens
Let's make it official
The last of your five names
The first I'm going to say is
the bus boys
then the next name
Werner's laughing
the next name is Jim Haney
followed by Olivia Brown
Denise Crosby
and then Jonathan Banks
would be your fifth name
which is interesting
with no vowels?
there's no vowels
in the title.
Wait, you're just now
asking that?
Yeah.
I then do the worst
beat hit.
My shoulder is just...
My shoulder is just...
I thought I had it.
And then,
if Busboys means it has to be an Eddie Murphy movie.
Right?
I'm not helping you.
Come on, man.
I don't fucking care.
Oh, man.
We're always going to win
the whole thing
if you don't figure this out.
Which, honestly, I'm getting a vibe Anger's dug
Come out get it right
Otherwise that fucking idiot in the sweatshirt wins
So you have no idea
How hot it is right now
I thought
FX
I can see why you would
be confused
about the whole vowel thing
because the title
of the film 48 Hours
No that says vowels in it
is 48 HRS period
is the title
of the movie
No no no, no.
I knew 48 Hours, but there's an
O-N-U in there. No.
I'm getting Al Sharpton up here. This is bullshit.
It's about to be
Ferguson up in this piece.
There's a kid.
That kid was like, yeah!
No, that's not.
I was not 48, no, no.
I'm claiming the point.
I'm claiming the point.
You can do that?
Yeah.
It's actually a weird.
Of course I got 48 hours.
It's a weird twist in the game.
If you say you want the point, you get to just have it.
Of course it's 48 hours.
It's the bus boys, but there's only you in there.
I thought the bus boys part was a real giveaway.
Yeah, it was, but you...
I went to the level of school where I learned what vowels
were, so I thought that...
And just that level, but...
I wasn't sure because I seem to remember
a scene
of the busboys in
Sophie's Choice.
It's true.
They do hit a couple
of fun stops on their
trip.
They're boarding the
train and one says
to the other, I'm
glad that's not me.
Are they playing a
show or just also on
the train?
It's unclear in the film
whether the busboys are journeying for pleasure or business.
So, Roy, you give me the point, right?
Yeah!
Otherwise, I have to go to the black people meeting
and talk about straight-up white man trickeration.
Shit.
Yeah.
This is a big moment.
How many times do you think in their career
the busboys have shown up at a club and said,
we're here, we're the busboys,
and then the confusion began.
Twice.
They probably go in the
front now. If they go in the back, they just
put them to work. But if they come in the front
and say we're the bus boys,
they can at least point to the marquee.
Solid.
Finally
somebody's doing busboys jokes
about that band
from,
what year was that movie?
1982.
Yes.
I think I met
one of those guys.
Doug,
I beg of you,
do not fall down
a busboys hole right now.
The show is only an hour long.
No, we're super ahead of schedule
because Rory is our winner.
And yeah.
Truey.
I did it for Truey.
That is all skill right there.
I'll let Truey decide
if the point can go to you.
Truey, remember.
We're super ahead of schedule.
So, just for
alternate universe fun,
let's start
with Ken again
and pick another year for a movie
without any vowels.
What would have happened
if you had said
1971 or 2002?
I was pretty sure it was going to be like JFK,
and then you did not say 1991 or whatever.
Good job narrowing it down for everybody on the panel.
I think everyone knows JFK did not come out in 1971 or 2002.
I think everyone knows that.
I'm pretty sure they still teach it in schools.
Am I picking a year?
Yes, please.
1971.
Listen, that baby's got a nap to get to, so let's not drag this out.
What's that?
71.
71.
All right.
And we're just going to play like before.
It's going to come to you next, Kamau.
All right.
and we're just going to play like before.
It's going to come to you next, Kamau.
All right.
Two and a half stars,
I wonder, for this movie from 71 that has no vowels in the title.
Mm-hmm.
Or does it?
He calls this movie a tale.
He also says...
L-E, or...?
Yeah, A-L-E.
It's a tale.
Vowels.
It's a certain kind of tale.
He says it's got a dull script.
And he also says that on a reissue, they put out an R-rated version of it.
What year is this?
Good for them.
71.
71.
So the original was PG.
And that's a rating you never see ever
and five names
is all he gives up for this movie
no vowels
what about
three
three names sure I got nothing. Three.
Three names?
Sure.
Okay.
For no points with nothing on the line.
So much was on the line before.
This bag of stuff.
Name it.
Oh, there we go. Why did I not get to play in the alternate universe?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I thought things might have gone differently.
We'll play a third alternate universe
with the other one, the one that's left.
Let me give you the three names,
see what you can do with it.
I don't feel good about it.
Ian Wolfe, Don Pedro Colley,
and Maggie McOrney.
The Maggie McOrney?
Those top two names might have helped out considerably.
This is reparations.
Can you think of anything?
I feel like I'm getting off easy.
This is great.
Yeah, no, that's a brief.
No, this isn't all of it.
This is the opening.
This is one three billion zillionth
of what is owed.
What do you think there?
No vowels.
No vowels.
This is obviously
WKRP. The movie on which WKRP.
The movie on which WKRP was based.
I can't even tell you how much I want that to be right.
The R-rated version of WKRP.
There was sex all over the station.
You couldn't broadcast.
Young Lonnie Anderson, I'm down.
This is a movie and a company that makes sound systems
that's been drilled into our heads for many, many years.
It's called THX 1138.
Ah, numbers.
None of those are vowels, as far as I can tell.
I keep looking at them to double check.
Let's go one more time.
Ken.
Two and a half stars.
Let me see how many.
Yeah, there's lots of names.
Let's let this one get to Werner, you guys.
Two and a half stars.
He says this movie is about a hooligan.
He says check your brains at the door
and you'll have a good time.
He calls it silly.
And he goes, one nice touch,
a musical reference to the third man.
That cannot possibly be a nice touch.
So highbrow, Leonard Maltin.
Yes. And he lists ten
names? Ten names.
How many
names, Ken Jennings? I recommend
ten. I'm really on a roll here.
I'm going to go ten.
Say ten names would be good.
Kamau, I think nine's a great number for you.
I'll say nine. I think it looks really good on you.
Eight sounds great for me.
Oh, Rory says eight.
Oh, Warner, look what happened.
What is the year?
2002.
I mentioned the year we are in now.
This is taking forever.
taking forever.
We're still not... We're like...
We've got like
seven more minutes
left in the show.
I can name
such a movie
in four names.
Oh, here we go.
Now we come back
to Ken Jennings.
This is the kind of matchup
I wanted to see today.
Four names. I didn't want Rory to run Jennings. This is the kind of matchup I wanted to see today. Four names.
I didn't want Rory
to run in here.
I sensed it
from the moment
I saw you backstage.
I'm going to make you
do that one
or name that movie.
What's an upset?
How many did you say?
Five?
Four.
Oh, honest man.
Was that a test that I passed?
I forget how scrupulous you are
about the rules of the game
when you are actively paying attention to it.
I'm on top of it.
This is an exciting moment because
nothing matters at this point.
Eve was in this movie.
You know that lady with the paw prints on her chest certainly
from Philadelphia
Thomas Ian Griffith
he's got three names
Eve's got one this is crazy
Richie Muller
Richie spelled R-I-C-H-Y. I've never seen it like that before. And Tom Everett
were your four names in this movie. From 2002. No vowels in the title. 2002. It's about a hooligan.
Check your brains at the door. You'll have a good time. Silly.
One nice touch. This clue doesn't help at all, I bet.
A musical reference to the third
man.
Werner Herzog,
for no prizes
whatsoever.
What's the name of this movie?
Is this film entitled
Grrrr? What's the name of this movie? Is this film entitled...
So close.
It might be a language thing.
In other countries, it might be pronounced that.
But here, we call it Triple X.
Triple X.
Yes.
Good old Vin Diesel.
Yeah, that category,
I'm glad it's gone forever.
I'm glad we only spent
like half an hour on it.
We just fucking blew it out,
you guys.
Yeah, it confuses
and annoys people.
At least it finally
put that baby to sleep.
At least it finally put that baby to sleep.
Now you have gone and woken it up.
So who is Rory playing for? Where's the... Truey.
Where's Truey at? Alright, let's get these prizes to you.
If everybody else could pass your name tags down if they have a shithead on the back.
The tepid applause that greets
Trudy's victory.
So many prizes
33 cents on that Starbucks call
on Shrewy
Shrewy unable to get back
to his seat
existing in the aisle hoping to not be noticed his seat.
Existing in the aisle,
hoping to not be noticed.
That was the
original sign-off of Siskel and Ebert.
Until
then, we will be existing in the aisles
hoping no one will notice.
What do you got to plug, Ken Jennings?
You got any appearances coming up that people should know about?
I did that on purpose.
I'm here at Bumbershoot tomorrow at 5,
Charlotte Martin Theater.
Please come by.
Obviously, listeners to the podcast,
it's too late for you,
but I'm speaking to Trouy
and his fellow,
his friends here in the crowd.
His fellow aisle existers.
Aisle people represent.
Well, thank you, Ken.
I always appreciate you coming on and playing with us,
people that don't know anything,
and being beaten.
And always losing badly.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I've never come up against an intellect like Rory's before.
You mean that, Ken?
I do.
I don't think he does.
You better not be fooling, Ken.
You've got a real top-shelf intellect, Rory.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, I meant ground floor.
Ground floor to TBS.
Why did you stand like that the whole show?
I don't know.
I'm kind of liking it now that I'm doing it.
Kamau, what do you got going on, man?
I'm going on tour in the fall, so September and November, yes.
And then a baby will be born in the middle of that,
but I'll be touring around there.
Oh.
You're going on tour to get a baby?
What happened?
That's how we do it.
All right.
Good luck with that.
There's like a website, wkamaubell.com? That's how we do it. All right. Good luck with that. And there's like a website, wcomowbell.com?
That's it.
Beautiful.
Yeah, check him out and go see his shows.
And Rory, we already mentioned Ground Floor,
but do you have any live dates coming up?
End.
Oh.
The baby's laughing at the notion that you have a live touring career. The very idea of it amuses this baby.
Who would pay to see him live?
Maybe the baby's delighted by the idea of coming to see you.
Nah, that was mockery.
That was mockery.
I was watching him.
During my fucking plugs.
Wow.
I'm going to be performing in exactly 30 minutes
over at the old Cornish Playhouse.
Come on down.
Have fun.
Bring the baby.
Bring the child.
I hope that baby actually is unsupervised.
Just wandered in.
It's a cigar in its mouth.
There's babies at every show at Bumbershoot,
and that's part of its charm.
Warner, what can we say about you
or any of your colleagues?
Dead or alive.
He often gives plugs for people whose work he admires.
For myself, I am directing the new campaign
by Depends Undergarments,
designed to take away the stigma of adults wearing diapers.
It will not work.
And then this evening,
I am going to the comedy at the Playhouse Theater
across the way
to see the Dead Authors podcast
at 8pm
that should be an awesome show
I hope the authors are truly dead
oh I think
you mean the actors who portray them
oh Oh, I think they're, I think, you mean the actors who portray them?
Oh.
Thank you to all of my guests. One more time for Ken Jennings, W. Kamau Bell, Rory Scovel, and Werner Herzog.
Rory, you can keep your shithead.
I'll be at Zany's in Chicago on September 11th. Don't go
anywhere with that.
DouglasMadey.com for all things
me. And as always,
Matt, who
chanted tits while
I spoke, is a shithead.
Sorry
I didn't sell that one.
Abby Elliott is a
shithead.
Okay. Sorry I didn't sell that one. Abby Elliot is a shithead.
Okay.
Doesn't seem very nice.
And Windows 8 is a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky
There's no room in his heart for you
