It's February 5th, 2007 Or 007 as I like to call it That was the theme song by Hard and Firm I appreciate them coming up with that for me and we're at the UCB
Starting point is 00:00:30 Theater in Los Angeles in front of an awesome audience that came out at an early hour to be here some folks came in late which I always encourage because I'd rather have you here at all than oh and the cell phones going off I encourage that as well
Starting point is 00:00:44 you know that's the thing people get so, and the cell phone's going off. I encourage that as well. You know, that's the thing. People get so mad when a cell phone goes off in a movie or a play or whatever. Especially if you're one of the actors on the stage. In the play. But it's easy to forget to turn off your phone. So you've got to give people a break.
Starting point is 00:01:02 When they answer it and talk, that's when you want wanna fucking kick them in the whatever they have down there for more information about UCB Theater go to UCBTheater.com and I just wanna say ask you guys a question up top are any of you going
Starting point is 00:01:18 to see Catch and Release starring Jennifer Garner and Kevin Smith in a speaking role only three or four of you good the rest of you can stay Jennifer Garner and Kevin Smith in a speaking role. Only three or four of you? Good. The rest of you can stay. I'd like to ask those people to leave at this time.
Starting point is 00:01:32 If it were possible to murder a movie, I would kill, catch and release. I've seen the trailer so many times. I hate it so much I might even rape it first. And speaking of rape, my guest today rapes people's funny bones on a regular basis
Starting point is 00:01:50 in clubs and on television. You know him from Comedians of Comedy, and you can look for him as a homeless piece of shit on the Sarah Silverman program. Please welcome Zach Galifianakis, everybody. Holy shit. Zach, there he is. Yes, costumes don't really fly on podcasts.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I just got back from an audition. Were you auditioning for, what was... Ice cream truck sales. It says police on the hat. I know, it's the only hat I had in my trunk. Let's put it right there. Were you auditioning for... What was... Ice cream truck sales. Ice cream truck. It says police on the hat. I know. It's the only hat I had in my trunk. Let's put it right there.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Your trunk in the back of the theater. Yeah. You can pull the microphone out and hold it if you like, because we need you to talk directly into it. Or you can do that. That's not awkward at all. This is a podcast? Yeah. Oh, great.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Glad I drove from Venice for this. Venice, Italy? Venice, Italy. It's hard to catch a cab there. They took a gondola, Doug. A gondola? It was a gondola. Gondola.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Let's start. A gondola confuses me because sometimes it's a boat and sometimes it's a dangly thing on a wire. I don't understand how they can both be gondolas. That's what the driver and I were talking about over here. Really? Yeah. You were having the great gondola debate? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:14 He used to work up at one of the ski resorts, which was weird. And he got a job down here as a gondola guy. It didn't make sense. I say gondola. You say gondola. Let's call this whole show off. So,
Starting point is 00:03:31 current business, you play Fred Blorth in an episode of the Sarah Silverman program that airs soon and I just have to say
Starting point is 00:03:39 I love the name Fred Blorth. That's a good name, isn't it? Isn't it great? I love it. It's almost as good as Ned Schneebly which is my favorite fiction name from School of
Starting point is 00:03:49 Rock. Alan Finger is another good one from Dog Bites Man. Yeah, another great show. Late great TV show. Five and out! Or was it more than that? How many were there? 11, I think. 10 or 11. 11 i don't know i can't remember you're the guy that's a fan in the audience said seven seven he only likes seven oh okay
Starting point is 00:04:12 you weren't in some of them enough uh yeah my favorite one was the one where your character alan finger um is just keeps talking about that so So Raven. Fucking hilarious. So this is going to air on February 5. And like Wayne pointed out last week, it's not really airing. It's available for you to listen to. And the Oscar nominations came out today, though, when we're recording this. Did you hear the nominations? Were you up at 5.35 a.m.?
Starting point is 00:04:44 I just got finished jogging. And you ran in and listened to the noms? I was making egg whites. Egg white omelets. No, I didn't hear any. Who did... Some of your closest friends in the business. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Malcolm Jamal Warner or something? Yes. Yes, he got nominated for Blood Diamond. It was a, he probably would have been better than Jimen Hunsu nomination. That's what they're doing now
Starting point is 00:05:11 is they nominate people who might have been better in the role. Oh, really? Yeah, you really should have paid attention while you were making your egg whites
Starting point is 00:05:18 to these crazy nominations they came out with today. No, it was, you know, the Queen and some other things. But if you didn't notice and don't care, we don't need to discuss it any further. No, it was, you know, The Queen and some other things. But if you didn't notice and don't care, we don't need to discuss
Starting point is 00:05:28 it any further. No, I'd like, whatever, did United 93 get nominated? It got nominated for Best Director and Best Song.
Starting point is 00:05:44 The song's called Morning After Two And it was sung by that same lady Maureen McGovern Who sang the Oscar winning version for Poseidon Adventure Here's the thing that cracked me up Here's what cracked me up about the nominations today Is that Poseidon is Academy Award
Starting point is 00:06:00 Nominated motion picture It got nominated for effects But even better, Clicks starring Adam Sandler Is an Academy Award nominated motion picture. It got nominated for effects. But even better, Click starring Adam Sandler is an Academy Award nominated movie because it got nominated for Best Makeup. Because I guess the characters get old at the end and I guess it's well done.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I haven't seen it. I changed the channel. Because it's called Click. It's not even on TV yet. Anyway, I'm sure it's very click it's not even on tv yet how could i anyway i'm sure it's you know i'm sure it's very funny i was disappointed when i went and saw you 1993 uh i thought it was a pixar film talking plane. Oh no, there are terrorists in me. I wish there was something I could do. I'm going to have to leave it to the crew
Starting point is 00:06:52 and the rest of the passengers. So, Zach, what... Zachy G, what have you seen lately motion picture wise In a theater Or at home
Starting point is 00:07:07 Or on a plane The last thing I saw Last night Was Children of Men Saw that last night Yeah Did you hear last week's show With Wayne Fetterman
Starting point is 00:07:16 I did I heard it That fucking anarchist I heard it Troublemaker I loved the movie I thought it was great Yeah wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:07:25 It was really, really, really good. There we go. That situation has been rectified. People have been sitting by their computer for a week hoping my next guest will have some sense. But yeah, I just thought it was fantastic. Did you think it had logic problems?
Starting point is 00:07:42 I didn't listen to your whole podcast from last week, but just to reiterate your whole podcast from last week but just to reiterate that it was done last week why does a movie have to have logic I mean that's my no I didn't think it had any logic problems I thought that I thought it was very subtle and the action was great I love Clive Owen and I thought it was very subtle, and the action was great. I love Clive Owen, and I thought it was really, really, really good. I thought he was really good in that. Easily his best work since Derailed. But I did enjoy that movie very much.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Would you call that your number one movie of 2006? Or would you go with Over the Hedge? I don't like political movies. You know what? I might do that. You may do that later when you're scribbling in your notebook. Is it too late for me to call the Academy and give them my two cents, or how does that work? How do they get nominated?
Starting point is 00:08:43 It's nominated for screenplay, and like four guys wrote that logical screenplay and it's nominated for cinematography and one other thing maybe sound editing or something i don't know did clive owen oh editing probably editing clive owen didn't get a best actor no no i think they dropped the ball on it i think they released it like too late and just didn't get the right buzz going on it. Because some of these movies, Little Miss Sunshine, they've been hyping that shit since summer. And it just came in too late. And I was worried that would be the case. Because when I watched it, I was like, this should be nominated for Best Picture, for Clive Owen, for Best Song.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I keep saying Best Song. Like, that's going to pay off somehow. But Best Song is like the silliest category. Like there's two songs from Dreamgirls got nominated and no songs from Happy Feet. But that Melissa Etheridge is up for one. I read that. For Inconvenient Truth. Yeah. She did. No, it's true. She wrote that. For Inconvenient Truth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:46 She did. No, it's true. She wrote a song for Inconvenient Truth. It's about her... Vagina. Vagina. It's about how lesbians have global warming to... It doesn't just affect the straights.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Anything you're looking forward to seeing in a motion picture theater anytime soon? Do you have one or two that are in the hopper, ready to go? I'm going to check that out next. Catch and release? I auditioned for that, so yeah, I'll definitely see what that actor did. Catch and release? I auditioned for that So yeah I'll definitely see What that actor did Which part were you up for?
Starting point is 00:10:26 Catch or release? I can't remember What I auditioned for But I was wearing That same outfit Probably the Kevin Smith role Yeah I'm sure it was Chubby
Starting point is 00:10:36 It was between him and Teller And he got it A. Teller or Teller? No A. Teller Just the guy that works At the bank Was Kevin Smith's Toughest competition Like he doesn't He doesn't He got it. A-Teller or Teller? No, A-Teller. Just the guy that works at the bank. Was Kevin Smith's toughest competition.
Starting point is 00:10:51 He doesn't act well when he doesn't have any lines. Why would they think giving him lines would help? I've never seen him in a movie. I've never seen anything that he's done. You didn't see World Trade Center? Was he in that? He played Nicolas Cage's partner. He looked Hispanic in the movie Because he's versatile
Starting point is 00:11:08 So anything at all you're going to see? This is a tough memory test Dreamgirls, you going to check out Dreamgirls? No, I'm not going to see that I mean, I am going to see it I have a free pass to it But I'm not eager to see it But I will go see that
Starting point is 00:11:24 Do you try to catch all the acclaimed movies at the end of the year? I am going to see it. I have a free pass to it, but I'm not eager to see it. But I will go see that. Do you try to catch all the acclaimed movies at the end of the year? It gets hectic, doesn't it? I've seen the ones that I've seen are Babel. Cracked himself up with the mispronunciation. That's all that was. Did you like that? I did. I liked it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:44 See, I haven't seen that yet. That might creep into my top whatever if I see it. I liked Little Miss Sunshine. I liked... What else? What did you think of the ending of Little Miss Sunshine? Oh, I walked out. Weren't you up for a guy in the audience who goes,
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah! That's a total Zach role. Total weird guy sitting there. Yeah, but if I did it It would be like I'd just have that I'd be like Line
Starting point is 00:12:08 He was like a single dad That had to be there Because of his kid But like people Some people that saw that movie Thought that there was like Just this perverted guy In the audience
Starting point is 00:12:18 But he like was clearly bored Like if he was perverted He wouldn't be bored By the whole thing Like he was He was some kid's dad right Oh I never thought of that Yeah i assumed was it supposed was it open ended that you could make up your own mind that no i don't think it was i thought it was very clear
Starting point is 00:12:32 that there was a biker guy with a little girl that's in the competition and he had to sit through it and that's why he was so happy when it got all pervy at the end oh right yeah i didn't i never thought i've talked to people Who think that Ellen Arkin Taught her that Dirty dance As like a Last fuck you To the world
Starting point is 00:12:50 Like this girl He was proud of her And would have wanted To be there To see her do that dance Like he just thought That that's how Women
Starting point is 00:12:58 That, you know That's his experience With dancing Yeah, I heard that last week Wayne and I didn't talk About that part Yeah, you did Oh, okay Yeah, I heard that last week. Wayne and I didn't talk about that part. Yeah, you did. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yeah, you did. I just, trust me, I just heard it last week. Okay, let's move on. I have a good story about Toni Collette, though, who's in... Oh, yes, please.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I love those kind of stories. She and I... Yes? I was working in London. I just like to tell every story, start every story like that. I was working in London. I just like to start every story like that. I was working in London. Country dropper. And somehow we ended up eating pot cookies.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And I was staying there for a few months. And she ended up in my place and she sang a song to me uh while i for some reason i didn't have pants on and i'll remember in a minute oh wait i'll wait hold on because it's really stupid oh olivia williams who was the other actress and they were both In the secret What's it called Sixth Sense Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:07 And Olivia Williams Is the teacher From Rushmore Yes Yeah yeah yeah Okay okay And they were They were talking
Starting point is 00:14:15 About Bruce Willis And I took my pants off And said something like I think I told him I called my legs Willis And I took my pants off And I went Look bruised Willis.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Because I happen to have a bruise on my thigh. That's true. I remember now. You didn't get a bruise on your thigh just to set up that. No, no, no, no. Thank God I had one so I could do that joke. I thought you were going to say
Starting point is 00:14:41 you called Bruce Willis, and then you pull your pants down and look at yourself and go, what are you talking about, Will Willis Like this giant erection That would have been better That would have been better But she ended up singing a song Called Calling All Angels
Starting point is 00:14:56 Which is a Jane Syberry Or Syberry song Which is beautiful And I started crying On pot cookies And then last week... Your pants were still off. Yes, my pants were off.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And there's a video of it. There's a video of it. And then, because I was videotaping it, because I didn't think anybody would believe that I was hanging out with those actresses. And I saw her in a restaurant two days ago in Venice Beach. And I didn't want to bug her,
Starting point is 00:15:22 so I just handed her a note saying, you made me cry with my pants off when we were high on pot cookies and um I walked out I didn't get to see what her reaction was it'd just be funny if she like saw you in public somewhere was like hey what's up bruise willis I don't think it probably didn't make that much of an impression I mean she you know she actually knows the guy she worked with him in a movie It probably didn't make that much of an impression. I mean, she actually knows the guy. She worked with him in a movie where he was dead the whole time. You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:51 That movie would have been ruined. He would have figured out he was dead if he went into a public restroom and tried to get a paper towel out of that machine that you have to run your hand in front of the red light because he'd be like, oh, it's not working. I must be a ghost.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Right. Or if the toilet didn't flush when he got off of it, an automatic toilet. not working. I must be a ghost. Or if the toilet didn't flush when he got off of it, automatic toilet. Oh, shit. I'm a ghost. Well, you can be alive and that can actually happen. That's what's confusing. That's the weird part. So you're like, get scared for a second. Oh, no, I might be a ghost.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And then you're just like, oh, it's just faulty. You call a plumbing company Like Either There's two things that are wrong You call a plumbing company Either I'm dead If you're at the airport Or my toilet's not working

Starting point is 00:18:01 And dumb to not watch it Yep Good work Well let's Let's go Let's talk a little bit about your Your oeuvre You were smart to buy it and dumb to not watch it. Good work. Well, let's talk a little bit about your oeuvre, your films, your milieu. I don't know if any of those words actually apply. You played Weird Wally in a movie called Below. How did you research that role?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Did you spend time with Weird Al? To play Weird Wally? I'll wait until you ask a serious question. Okay, that's fair. You were Bus Stop Man in Bubble Boy. An underrated movie, if you ask me. Yeah. Personally, your scene's very funny. You're sitting in some sort of booth,
Starting point is 00:18:47 and you're acting like there's other people in line. Right, exactly. Don't you say next a lot? Yeah. That movie was with Jake. Did Jake Gyllenhaal spit in his hand and make love to you? During the making? His career and my career have kind of taken Different trajectories Since that film
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah you didn't have to Sell out and act like a queer Yeah exactly Just to get attention But I did like that movie I gotta say But I The Weird Wally
Starting point is 00:19:18 The Below movie I did I was out of town And I was at a hotel And I Had to read with someone And I just had a hotel And I had to read with someone And I just had a camera And I had the maid read off camera with me
Starting point is 00:19:30 And I gave her like 20 extra bucks And then when I sent the tape in And I got it The roll But this maid had read with me So kind of cool So is she like seeking you out for more money now? No, she
Starting point is 00:19:42 It was weird She's trying to shake you down? Yeah, it was very odd. I just decided... I also decided to put oranges in my mouth while I was auditioning. And I thought that would act to the weird part. But it did.
Starting point is 00:19:54 It worked. If you're ever looking for a part, put oranges in your mouth and read with a maid. Save it for the actor's studio. Now, when you worked with Jason Lee in Heartbreakers, did he try to make you a Scientologist? Did the subject ever come up?
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yes. Sarah Silverman, I said to Sarah, who's also in the movie, said, I went, that Jason Lee guy is really nice. And she's like, he just thinks you're a sucker for Scientology. That's why he's being so nice to you. And then I realized that maybe she was right. But that movie, the director never said anything to me except once. He goes, cut.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Zach, stop improv-ing. And then Sarah goes out loud in front of everybody. She goes, I think it would be better if I said Zach's lines. And he goes, goes yeah you say his lines and my lines were like cut in half because sarah was joking just to fuck with me but the guy like yeah yeah go ahead you take those four words that he has and take two of them. That's awesome. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:21:09 both of you are kind of like sort of an afterthought, which is a shame because, you know, the main storyline wasn't very interesting in that movie. People liked that movie? No one saw it.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Yeah. I saw Jennifer Jason... Jennifer Jason Lee, I just almost called her Jennifer Hewitt. I saw Jennifer Jason... Jennifer Jason Leigh, I almost called her. Jennifer Hewitt. I saw her boobies. Yeah, I actually, when I was working on that movie with her, I challenged her, because I was like, I bet you can't be a dramatic actress.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And she's like, I can't. And then I had her say, as serious as she could, don't you ever fart on my tits again. And she did it really convincingly. She was like, don't you ever fart on my tits again. She did it. I guess someone had farted on her tits. She was just like, recalling it.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Did she whisper it to you? Yeah. And are you a ghost? If I'd have said that right, it would have been better. Did she whisper it? No, I recall you saying that on that very same movie,
Starting point is 00:22:17 Ray Liotta tried to make you his bitch. God, that's right. Ray Liotta and I went to a Hell's Angels bar and there was like and they all recognized him. Surprisingly, none of the Hell's Angels recognized me from UCB Theater. They were all sitting at an outdoor picnic table, and he's like, Hey, this guy's a comedian. Tell some jokes to all these guys.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I'm like, I'm not going to tell you. No. He goes, Tell all these guys. I'm like, I'm not going to tell you. I'm not, no. He goes, tell some fucking jokes. And I'm like, I'm not, no. He goes,
Starting point is 00:22:50 well then go get us some drinks. And I'm carrying drinks back. And it's just like that goddamn scene in Goodfellas where the kid gets shot in the foot. Yeah. Michael Imperioli. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And I, that's, that's exactly what happened. Yeah. That's how you got that bruise on your leg. Wow. The thing I liked about you telling that story is it's exactly as I remember it.
Starting point is 00:23:19 You know what I mean? If some people, if you ask them, what happened with you and Ray Liotta when you told it to me already, but like some time has gone by. So suddenly it would have all these kind of weird embellishments and you'd have more like beats to it or whatnot. But that's like exactly the same as the last time you told me. Well, I mean, we are roommates now.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Except for farting on his tits. No, we're roommates now. I forgot to add that. No, all my stories are legitimate. No, they're good. And they're roommates now Forgot to add that No all my stories are legitimate No they're good And they're precise and to the point Thank you You're good
Starting point is 00:23:51 You're good at parties You're good at parties At the worst Oh when's Zach gonna shut up about Ray Liotta It's like three sentences and out That would be great if I was known as that guy That always tells that Ray Liotta story. Now,
Starting point is 00:24:07 Zach's cool and everything, but God damn, don't bring up Ray Liotta. Jesus. Do not mention it to me.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Christ. Here he comes again. You were so happy when Smith got canceled after two episodes. No, I wasn't. Ray and I were very disappointed.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Now, I see you brought some things. Oh, I didn't know what the show was. I didn't know what the show was. So I just brought... You had no idea what it was? Like, I love movies with Doug Benson? We talked about it over the phone the other day, but I wasn't paying attention.
Starting point is 00:24:43 So I thought I'd have to grab some DVDs. I didn't know if you were showing movies. And then I grabbed the only DVDs I had, which unfortunately are Sanford and Son. Which season? Oh, season four. That's one of the better ones. Season four is when they really got into their stride. You know who used to write on that show?
Starting point is 00:25:03 That's the season where AJ lost some weight and he started to get in trouble with the mob. Oh, wait. I'm thinking of The Sopranos. I'm sorry. What's his face used to write on this show? Gary. Gary. Gary Shandling.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Thank you. Wayne Fetterman, last week's guest. He comes to all the shows. It's weird. Do I have to come to the next show? Yes, you do. Oh, God. You were supposed to come to Wayne's last week and pay attention.
Starting point is 00:25:38 So you brought that. You brought your own Zach Galifianakis live at the Purple Onion. Is that available in stores now? No, it'll never be available. That's the only copy. Oh, really? Yeah, I was going to see if anybody wanted to rent it tonight. And then you have to return it back to me,
Starting point is 00:25:51 and then I have to send it off. This is my own personal Netflix. And then you also brought... This one you don't want to talk about? No, I don't know why I brought it. It's uncomfortable. I don't want to talk about it No, I don't know why I brought it. It's uncomfortable. I don't want to talk about it. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:07 That's fair. I mean, you shouldn't have to talk about that because your true calling is comedy. And you are fantastic at it. I ask this of almost all my guests. Have you ever worked with Alec Baldwin? No. Are you as in love with him right now as I am?
Starting point is 00:26:27 No. Everything I see him in, I cannot get enough of the guy lately. He's quite good, yeah. He's always great in everything. Did you see The Good Shepherd? No, he's in that too, right? Yeah, he's in that too. I didn't see that.
Starting point is 00:26:38 It loses me because it's from the 19... I did see Bad Lieutenant. Is he in that? No, but isn't that kind of like Good Shepherd? It's got one word that's either good or bad And then another word after it That's a type of thing I saw Bad Santa
Starting point is 00:26:56 What were you going to say? I have fucking no clue what I was going to say Oh I know It happens when I throw in a shitty joke Anyway the Good Shepherd. I wonder if Wayne saw The Good Shepherd. Well, he's here. Let's ask him.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Wayne, did you see it? Did not see The Good Shepherd. Didn't see Good Shepherd. But I know it's about the start of the CIA. It's about the beginnings of the CIA. I was hoping that you would see it because it's very convoluted. It's very confusing. Complicated, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Yeah, it's very. And they lost me because it spans from the 1940s to the 60s, but there was a scene where Matt Damon is bumping fists with someone.

So, at the end of every episode of I Love Movies, I know you haven't heard one before, Zach, but at the end of every episode, we play a game called Leonard Maltin, and it was sort of invented by Brian Posehn and I
Starting point is 00:28:05 and Sarah Silverman enjoys playing it. And it's basically you read the cast from a movie from the bottom of the cast list up according to Leonard Maltin and then the other person has to try and guess what movie it is. Okay. So do you want me to do one to you
