Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth They're still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody, my name is Doug You know me, I love movies I love roosters in Sunnyvale California but the curse continues as some of you may recall the last time we tried to do a show or we did a show we did a show at roosters in Sunnyvale California and you know it's an club. It doesn't have the most amazing sound in the world,

but the person who was going to record the show got the dates mixed up, so we just recorded it on my iPhone, which many of you listened to, and a few complained. So I appreciated that. But I was excited to go back to roosters yesterday We had such a good show. It is so disappointing that there was some sort of sound issue I'm not a tech person at all. I let other people handle that and

everybody usually does an amazing job, but for whatever reason the recording yesterday is yet another 19 years now there's probably been a dozen of these which you know isn't too bad considering that I just go places and do the show and you know hope for the best hope that the venue sound is good. Hope that the local hire to record the show does a good job. And yesterday's show is just completely lost. And we had an amazing show. I mean, I think every show is fun. I have a good time every time. I you know, every once in a while while there's one where there's somebody in the

audience that's, you know, frustrating, like heckling or talking too much or, you know, you know, you know, the history of the show doing it live all the time. Sometimes things happen. But yesterday's show was top notch. Like it was so good and we had so much fun. So it's really it's just a bummer when you know the next day I find out that nobody's ever gonna hear it. Very special experience for those who did come to Roosters. I think they all had a very good time and I'll talk you through some of the highlights now if you're You know enjoying this thing did this

And we also have to put in the commercial breaks unfortunately So let's do Doug plugs before we go to the first commercial The audience yesterday was very, very good at the yell back, the Doug Plugs response, which is always, always makes you feel good. In fact, the audience got all the shout backs like absolutely perfect. So thank you for that. Citizens of Sunnyvale and the outer areas because I think people come

from all over the Bay Area to to roosters. I should say it's Monday, June 2nd and I've got Benson movie interruption tomorrow night at Dynasty Typewriter in LA.

I brought a limited edition Douglas Movies tote bag, which is the best part of the prize bag is the bag lately. A pipe from Peacemaker Gear that's only been used once. Some little tiny dick lollipop things that I got at the premiere of the Netflix animated show Big Mouth now in its final season. What else was in there? Oh, this was an amazing thing, a $5 gift card for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Because I posted some sort of joke about something being finger licking good or something,

some sort of reference to KFC. And then the KFC Twitter account, ex-account, formerly Twitter, they came back to me and they were like, hey, do you want some? some cool KFC swag and and a gift card and I was like hell yeah, let's do this and so I gave him my address and they sent me, you know, like a shirt that was too small and Maybe one other thing, and then a gift card for five bucks. So I gave that away in the prize bag

because I don't ever wanna just spend five bucks in Kentucky Fried Chicken, and I'm not gonna spend more there. I'm not gonna spend more than five bucks, so now I'm spending money because I got a gift card, doesn't't make sense but hopefully the person who won it will just enjoy purchasing like one piece of chicken or one fountain drink I'm sure there is some other cool stuff in the bow Doug Benson and Doug Love's movies pins from Rockin' Pins.

So I announced somebody was gonna win that bag, but I also had to announce that one of the guests that had been booked for the show and spoken of as being one of the guests, a gentleman who's been on the show before, he's very funny Jesse het something came up and he was not able to come to the show yesterday so it was already a sign that things were not gonna work out with this one but the I

think they did work out because I brought three people up on stage which I do sometimes when there's you know when when I have two guests I I you know use an audience member to be the third guest and it works out like, you know pretty well like eight out of ten times so We played last person standing with three members from the audience Lawton Brandon and Edith an audience member Suggested Julianne Moore is the name Lawton, Brandon, and Edith, an audience member suggested Julianne Moore is the name that we took turns, I played along, we took turns naming movies that she's in, and a gentleman named Lawton dipped immediately,

like as soon as it was Julianne Moore, he was like, I don't know. But it was nicene Moore, he's like, I don't know. But it was nice of him to volunteer. And then Brandon, who's a regular visitor to the show, and has been an audience member guest before, he didn't do much better. So they were both beaten by Edith Salvatore. So Edith, congratulations. I'm sorry that your, you know, moment, your episode basically doesn't exist.

It's just a memory to those of us who were there. But Edith was a great, great guest, cracked a couple of good jokes, was comfortable up there, was good at the games, and got to play with two of my favorite guests, Amy Miller and Johnny Taylor Jr. They were both hilarious, as anyone who's there can attest. a test. So I asked each one of them about the karate new Karate Kid movie and the running gag was I get the the name wrong each time and I'd say something like Karate Kid does it again and Amy Miller would say it's called Karate Kid's Legends and then I'd say Karate Kid back back in business Then Amy would correct me again. Oh you had you had to be there So of course

Johnny Taylor jr. Is always a ball of energy It's fun to have his his dry sense of humor we did dry sense of humor. We did Recommendation Nation and Amy recommended the Pee-wee as himself documentary you could see in two parts on I think it's on HBO and Edith recommended a black and white classic Arsenic and Old Lace which got me reminiscing about playing the character who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt in a scene workshop like in high school. So that was fun. And then Johnny said, you know, sorry to recommend a movie that's probably being recommended a lot and he was right. He said Sinners and we had a nice chat about the bonus scene at the end of Sinners and how if you haven't seen Sinners yet,

stay for the bonus scene. People that get up and leave, in my opinion, are missing out on one of the best scenes in the entire film, in the entire excellent film. All right, I hope you're enjoying this recap of a show that does not exist. And there is a slight chance we can save it, I'm told. That there's like some sort of process they're putting it through to fix the sound. But if it's un-listenable, I'm not gonna, you know, put it out. And then the next next week's episode will come out on time and will be a Zoom show. That is my pledge to you. All right, if you're enjoying this, listen to some more ads and come back. We are back and I'm describing what happened yesterday. We picked name tags during the

break and Amy chose Hannah the Dead. She had that written on a cricket bat so that was fun. Edith chose one of her friends. She came with two friends. One was named Erin and her sign was Erin Brockovich, which is funny. And even funnier to me, her other friend is Maggie and her name tag said MaggieNificent7. So Edith picked her and I did not complain about cronyism or whatever you'd call that.

And Johnny went with the incredibly clever bridesgroom. complain about cronyism or whatever you'd call that and Johnny went with the incredibly clever Bridesgabes There was a brides game the singular I don't know Bridesgabes But anyway, we all laughed at that many times then we Played some games. The first game is I brought back purple rain man, which is always a super fun game and You know and super quick gets the show started Gets a winner Johnny won that game I'm not going to tell you the details of the games because now I can just I'll just recycle them into a zoom show that has

You know different guests now I can just I'll just recycle them into a zoom show that has you know different guests so the people that were at roosters will know all the answers what they eventually hear these games then we played net flicks and chill and that of course is movies that have the letters N-E-T in the title and I give fun facts and people have to guess which movie it is and Edith won that game. So this is exciting. We had Johnny won the first game then Edith won the next game and then We went into the final game where Edith went first and then Amy and then Johnny taking turns in a game that I call cruise or lose.

You know, in honor of Mission Impossible 8 being out, I put together a game with that title that I don't need to explain to you what happened because I will like I said I will play this one another time then people did their plugs that I can't I can't remember so seek out Johnny T. Dealer jr. And Amy Miller on social media and Edith Salvatore When I asked her to do her plugs she just plugged that she was gonna stick around and watch Amy Miller's headliner set at Roosters last night Because Amy was there headlining all weekend. And a lot of several people, a nice chunk of people came to both shows yesterday, I appreciate that. And I went up at the end of Amy's set and the two of us goofed around on stage

for a little while. And that was super fun. So it was a super great afternoon and night for me. I had a really good time. I closed out the show with a last line from a movie that's a current movie that I've seen but I didn't remember what the last line is but a listener reached out and said here's a good last line from a movie and I agree it was a good last line from a movie and so I will I will be recycling that as well mention one more time Benson movie interruption with great guests tomorrow night Tuesday June 3rd 730 dynasty typewriter dynasty typewriter.com or douglowsmovies.com for more info on that and if you're still listening right now you're my

favorite because what a stupid thing to listen to it's kind of like a Doug Lowe's minis but with ad breaks and if you don't know what Doug Lowe's minis is I used to just do this I used to just do this I used to just like record plugs and just various thoughts that I had and You know some people listen to it and after I stopped one guy asked me to start doing it again I did one more and then I I stopped again because the demand just didn't seem to be there but Thanks for listening to this and

As always Let's see if I've got an old one that was that was good that I'll just reuse That's too long Shit oh Uh, that's too long. Hehehehe Uh Shit Uh, oh I don't know if this is a good time to ask but would it be possible to get my briefcase back?

Hehehehe That's the last line from What's that the last line from? Boss Baby 2? Weird What's the last line from... What's that the last line from? Boss Baby 2? Weird. Oh, and Johnny Taylor was the winner and Bridesgabes got the prize bag. Bye!
