Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! The script is damp. Hey, everybody! My name is Doug, and I love movies! This is Doug Loves Movies! I think that might be the best ever. Coming to you from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater
Starting point is 00:00:37 in Los Angeles. I wrote on Los Angeles. That is incorrect. Corrections Department. California on Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 Wolf of Wall Street fight Terminator 2 Judgment Day of the
Starting point is 00:00:52 dead man walking tall. The president's men in Black Fisher King. Ralph a dog. Good times were had by me in Kansas City last weekend. I'll be back June 14th to do a Benson movie interruption of one of the top three roller derby movies ever made, Whip It, and you can only think of three, right?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Or four if you count the remake of Rollerball. And I'll be doing a Douglas Movies at the Kansas City Improv on June 15th. Now it's time for Tweet Relief, tweets about movies. Past and future Douglas Movies guest Joe Pettis tweeted, I said bless you to a dog after he sneezed, which was pointless because all dogs go to heaven. This has been Tweet Relief, dead dog edition. Aww. This has been Tweet Relief Dead Dog Edition.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Aww! I think some tickets are still available to watch me compete with Matt Bronger and Arden Mirren for points on Friday night in a special At Midnight Live at the South Beach Comedy Festival.
Starting point is 00:02:00 If you're in Miami, go to this thing because we're just going to play At Midnight just for the audience that's there it'll be like watching a dress rehearsal or some shit or like when they were first testing the show before it became a show they'd have an audience and they weren't really taping anything anyway
Starting point is 00:02:15 I think it'll be fun that's why I said yes and Saturday night I'll be at the Shrine Auditorium in LA for Kevin and Bean's benefit that's called April Foolishness. Come support some good causes. Now, you know this show has not normally had an open-door policy. But it is April 1st, so I figured, why the hell not?
Starting point is 00:02:41 So, please welcome Mark Wahlberg, Chip Gardner and Ben Schwartz aka Spider-Man please welcome them with applause that was weird that was the first time I've ever said all the names and no one applauded maybe they just can't believe what's happening. They can't believe I got the Ben Schwartz starring in the new Spider-Man film
Starting point is 00:03:14 and Mark Wahlberg. That's a lot of applause. Mark Wahlberg isn't really that big of a surprise. No, you knew Mark Wahlberg was going to show up. He's been on a lot lately. Chip Gardner. My apologies, I had urgent Hollywood business to attend to.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I'm very sorry to be late. What were you doing, Chip? I was out there shining up some of the stars on the Walk of Fame. Oh, cool. You know, they do get awfully dirty. What with people walking on them. It was a terrible idea to put them down there where feet can get at them.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Does Roger Mudd have one? Sure, certainly does. It's a television one. Mm-hmm. So let's just get right to it. Chip Gardner is here, everybody. Chip! Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:04:06 How much of the show did I miss? A great deal of it? No, you didn't miss much. I'm just telling people now about the prize bag that you're a big fan of comic performances. So you brought a thing
Starting point is 00:04:18 by a gentleman named Andrew Daly called Nine Sweaters. I brought that. I found it over in the used bin of the record store. And I that. I found it over in the used bin of the record store. And I signed it
Starting point is 00:04:27 and brought it over. Oh, that's terrific. You wrote Hail Satan. Yes. He really did. Chip Gardner. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Hail Satan. Well, that's... Oh, that's... But that's... Why don't you say something like vote for me for honorary mayor or something like that? They're one and the same, my friend. Hail Satan is my campaign slogan.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Oh, now I see. Now I'm getting it. I have two campaign promises. One is that I intend to bring Satan back. I intend to conjure him out of the lake of fire to rain chaos and destruction upon the world. Cool.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And I will rule at his unholy side as he does so. And I also pledge to bring film production back to Hollywood. Cool. Cool. I'm in. I vote for that. Very good. I will not be voting for that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 That's Mark Wahlberg, ladies and gentlemen. Marky Mark! Oh my God. Hello to you. Ted 2! How you doing? What's up?
Starting point is 00:05:35 He brought for the prize bag How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Yep. Take a shot. Very good book.
Starting point is 00:05:45 And you also included a $5 gift card for Ross, Dressed for Less. I told Donnie, I go, go to your favorite store, buy something the poor people like. That's what he came up with, huh? So he wrote
Starting point is 00:06:01 inside, it's like the gift card inside, it says, it's to you gift card inside it says it's to you from Mark Wahlberg and then message, you're welcome. Fucking nailed it. Go get yourself a scarf or something. I don't care. You're cocky in every aspect of your everything. Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Some poor person is going to win this. Okay? Then they're going to go to Ross. They're going to buy, I don't know, a plate or whatever they do with that money. But they're going to hang out with that. That really is a way to dress for less. It is. A couple plates.
Starting point is 00:06:34 What do you got here? That is a Game of Thrones... Coaster? Coaster. Yeah, that is also, would be a terrific weapon. You could also fucking cut lines with us. Let me throw it at Baseball Jordan and see what happens. Yeah, that thing
Starting point is 00:06:48 is fucking intense, man. You hear that shit? I almost didn't get through airport security with that. Is that true? It's a good thing I had it in my ass. Because otherwise they would have been like, hey, man. So I got that at a Game of Thrones event in Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:07:03 That's where all the great Game of Thrones events happen. It's supposed to take place in the past? I don't think that show's fucking real. This is one coaster? Yeah, just throwing it in the prize bag. That is not a good prize. No. But it's like a weapon.
Starting point is 00:07:22 One weapon? For drinking alone. You throw it at... Ben Schwartz is here, everybody. Hey. Hey, guys. Thank you. He's very kind of you.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Bam. Same gift every time. Every time I come on, I get the same gift. Every time. It's the same thing, but it's always funny. Although I'll tell you,
Starting point is 00:07:44 I probably only have 20 more times to do in this show until I run out of gifts. Breaking bad news with baby animals. On the cover, Grandma's dead. Cute puppy dog. I wrote that five years ago. And maybe your legs will grow back looking on the bright side with baby animals.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Those are real books. Those are real books. Those are real books that I authored with my friend Amanda, and I still have a box of them at my place. So every Doug Loves Movies, I pop out one more of each. Can I ask a question? Of course, Mark. Jesus, I can't believe you're
Starting point is 00:08:19 even talking to me, man. In the green room, you refuse to talk to me. I refuse to look at you. Here's the deal. I mean, you're... What's it called? Not a necklace. What's it called? This is called a bracelet. Right, but it's big enough to be your fucking necklace. I know, right? Yeah. This is called an attention getter.
Starting point is 00:08:36 So people are like... Mission accomplished. Look at that fucking bracelet. Holy shit, is that Mark Wahlberg? Then they don't even care about the bracelet. I one-up my own fucking jewelry. Oh, got it. Got it. Your bottle of water is doing the same thing. This is the celebrity edition of Voss right here.
Starting point is 00:08:51 That's weird. You have your own water called Aquahydrate. I do. Me and that black dude from I Wish You Were Here. That song is so pristine. Seems racist already, yeah. Who's that guy? You want me to name every black person? From I Wish You Were Here?
Starting point is 00:09:06 Yeah, he sang that song about Azores B.I.G. He's like, every breath you take. He stole it from that old white dude. Yes, that dude. The Diddles and I, we got a fucking we got a water company. That's who you couldn't think of was P. Diddy?
Starting point is 00:09:22 He's that small to you? You're that enormous? Here's the deal. If you don't make the same amount of money as me, I don't remember your name. He was on The Apprentice.
Starting point is 00:09:32 That's right, he was on The Apprentice. He was on a Broadway play. He was in that commercial where everybody celebrates Vegas. Okay, the dude is on The Apprentice.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You guys know a lot about this guy, too. Which means he has something in common with Trace Atkins. Why would I remember his name? P. Diddy's definitely aligned with Satan. You should try to run him down. Like, he's a Satan guy.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I will run him down, believe me. Jesus Christ, man. I'll run him down with a Monte Carlo. I understood. I like that, Chip. You've got to be aggressive. You don't have to drag any kind of car brands into it. Fine like that, Chip. You've got to be aggressive. You don't have to drag any kind of car brands into it. Fine. Jesus, Chip.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Have I mentioned that I'll be at Hyenas in Dallas on Monday? No. I don't think I have. And that my Benson movie interruption of Jurassic Park Sunday sold out, so we added an interruption of the Lost World Jurassic Park at 8 o'clock. This is both in Richardson, Texas. Yeah. Have you guys been to This is both in Richardson, Texas. Yeah. Have you guys been to the movies? Enjoy it, Richardson.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I, uh... Thank you. You might be a good permanent sidekick on the show. Oh! Been a long time since the rock and roll. I think that's a good idea. What a surprise.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Someone is later than me. Hello. Doug. What a treat. Didn't talk. Didn't happen. People are excited. Werner Herzog
Starting point is 00:11:00 is here. I knew that you were trying to make it here for the show and I didn't want to spoil the surprise but I was so excited that you might burst in and that exactly what happened would happen. How does it feel to bring you so much that you bring so much joy to people just by
Starting point is 00:11:16 appearing? It's a mixed blessing because of course I wish joy for all people but I'm on the fence about being the source of it. Sure. Bringing joy to others does not bring me as much joy as you might think. Sometimes I'd like to be one of the others.
Starting point is 00:11:38 By that I mean one of the titular ghosts in the film of the same name. Doug, I apologize. My friend, that was a bit of a spoiler. That's where you're wrong, Chip Gardner, because we know that we know that there are ghosts in the film, but we don't know
Starting point is 00:12:02 who the ghosts are. That is a bit of a spoiler. Because when the film starts, you are certain who the ghosts are, but by the end, you might think differently than you did at the beginning. Doug, I apologize
Starting point is 00:12:17 for my tardiness, but I was making my... Hello, Ben. How are you? How are you, buddy? It's nice to see you again. Good to see you again. Please let me get this out. I beg of you. Burner. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's a one-on-sentence from when you sat down to this second. I apologize. I apologize for my tardiness, but I was making my nightly patrols of the Mulholland area for celebrities in danger.
Starting point is 00:12:44 And... Christ. I was taking an awful time getting Casey Affleck's head out of a bike rack in a dog park. He really had it vegged in there. I'm going to be honest, I have no fucking clue what this dude has said
Starting point is 00:13:00 since he got on here. Mark, it's nice to see you again. How you doing, buddy? Do you recall the time that I rescued you when you had your arm stuck to the shoulder in that fire hydrant? Here's the deal. I was going to win $20 and I could lift that fucking fire hydrant up.
Starting point is 00:13:16 $20? You're a gazillionaire. Yeah, but I was going to prove something, Ben. It's the principle. It is the fucking principle. Werner, don't you tell me It's the principle You just hung out With Casey We thought
Starting point is 00:13:28 I rescued him From a dire situation The best thing was My fucking arm Is stuck in there And you were like Let go And it worked
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah You guys should work together I'm sure Werner Maybe has some idea Maybe for you to go up Some river And maybe never come back. Some sort of concentration
Starting point is 00:13:47 camp or something. Yeah, we could do it like Sixth Sense. We could do another movie where Donnie shoots himself. I was very upset I didn't get to direct The Happening Wherein You Battled Nature. That would have been a perfect
Starting point is 00:14:03 film for me to direct. I kind of ran from it, was the whole deal. And then at one point I talked to it. But I feel like if we had done a battle, I would have fucking won. All the elements. Oh my god. You know how many times I walk against wind? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:20 You're still here, man. Where's the wind? I don't see any wind here. That must suck when you get involved in a project like that that just holds you back like it doesn't let you be, you know. You know, Mark Wahlberg. What Mark Wahlberg would do in that situation. I was a fucking math teacher. You were playing a character who was a complete pussy.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Right. And you could have been more like yourself. Like when that old lady's like, I know what you're here to do. You're here to kill me, right? And I had to be all, what? No, we're not here to kill me, right? And I had to be all, what? No, we're not here to kill you. What I want to do is like, I'm going to fucking kill this bitch.
Starting point is 00:14:51 No, no, no, no. It's just about nature. I'm like, alright. You fucking take this girl out. Keep this house. We could have gone in a whole different direction with that movie. Mark, may I ask you, what was how did you approach the role of a science teacher? Well, here's the deal. I went out.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I bought a book. Okay? Which book? What kind of book? I don't even fucking know. It was like, I walked in. I go, do you guys have books? I go, we do have books.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Where did you walk in? You haven't told us where you are. Where did you walk in? Oh, the last bookstore, downtown LA. Okay, yeah. So I figured you might as well go to the last fucking one that's left. Yeah. So I walk in there. I'm like, give I figured you might as well go to the last fucking one that's left. Yeah. So I walk in there
Starting point is 00:15:25 and I'm like, give me some fucking books. Sound reasoning. You cannot go to the first one. Right. They have me books, right? It's no longer around. I think it's burned down.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Don't tread the hallowed ground of where books were established for sale. Exactly. No, no. Yeah. And then I just practiced writing the word science
Starting point is 00:15:44 like 22 fucking times. That's crazy. Like a science teacher no. Yeah, and then I just practiced writing the word science like 22 fucking times. That's crazy. Like a science teacher would. Yeah. I fucking got it. Crazy. What, do you got any movies coming up or what? Ben, have you... Have you been to the... I'll also, for the prize money, copy a Gateway Dog and a Douglas Booth
Starting point is 00:16:01 t-shirt and also a shirt that says Humboldt on it for some reason. Humboldt or Humboldt? Oh, no, no. It doesn't say. It says Humboldt Traders. Got it. Whatever that means.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Shout out to them. What were you saying, Doug? Have you been to the movies lately? You know what I just saw? I mean, this is not a new film. I'm going to go see The Raid 2 tomorrow. Is it good? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 By the way... What else have you got going on tomorrow? It's two and a half hours long somehow. Yeah, it's amazing. I cannot believe that. It's amazing. It's different than The Raid, in that it doesn't all take place in the one building on a bunch of floors. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:16:40 And, yeah. I love that part. I know, I know, I know. But this has got amazing fighting in it, but it's got more story and more what some might call slow parts. Bullshit. So pace yourself. More fighting, less story. Yeah, yeah, that's what you would have done for sure.
Starting point is 00:16:56 But maybe you could make your version of it. Have you seen the trailer for Transformers? Yes. I have 11 lines. You know how many lines I've put in? Wait, you're bragging about that? Fuck yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:06 The rest is just me chasing fucking robots and killing them. I don't think you kill a single robot in the trailer. No, it's me fighting the fucking robots.
Starting point is 00:17:13 If they go with the cut I suggested... That's a tough cut, man. That's a tough cut. You're supposed to be the good guy. Nope, I fucking pick up like a Chevy S10
Starting point is 00:17:22 and I hit Optimus Prime with it. I don't think that's what the original script was. We green screened it. It's going to look fucking great. That's a nice car. In this film you play a simple man who wishes to put his children through college through the sale of scrap metal.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I don't know what the dude fucking wishes. That's some deep shit, but I just... I fuck shit up and wear a tight t-shirt, motherfucker. Yeah. I don't know if I'd talk to Werner Herzog that way, but... I was just saying... If you've got any projects coming up, let's talk about it. I'm working on a film now, a treatment,
Starting point is 00:17:58 wherein all four elements band together to destroy humankind. It's called Captain Planet. Yes, only in this one, Captain Planet is not a humanoid creature. It is the Earth who has given itself the honorary rank of Captain. And it is...
Starting point is 00:18:19 I love films where the entire human race is wiped out. Except one dude. Those are the best. Except one fucking dude. We'll call it Lone Survivor 2. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Yeah. You were wonderful in the film Lone Survivor. It really changed my mind about war. Yeah? What's your perspective now, Vernon? Were you for it or against it? Now you love it I think it's terrible
Starting point is 00:18:46 I think before I was sort of iffy on the concept but after seeing Lone Survivor I think I get it war is not so great it's fucked up we use real bullets and that I've talked about it finally someone who gets it I have used real bullets
Starting point is 00:19:05 in all of my films, even those that did not require bullets. I hosted a game show once called Is This a Real Bullet or Not? And it always was. How many deaths?
Starting point is 00:19:18 What's that? How many deaths? We had a death rate of around 100%. Jesus Christ. Amongst our contestants. Well, the idea was that you were supposed to be shot with a gun And then you were supposed to buzz in and say Real bullet or not a real bullet
Starting point is 00:19:30 But as I say it always was real Dude if you revive this I'll go on it Really? I'll fucking kill that bullet I'd love to have you on that show Let's do it Alright fine What's it called point blank? Nope it's called...
Starting point is 00:19:45 Is this a real bullet or not? It was so long ago that I named it that. Bring it back. Let's do it. Let's absolutely do it. You understand you'll be shot in the chest. I understand I'll deflect a fucking bullet. Fine. Worth it. Chip, do you have time to...
Starting point is 00:20:03 You must see every movie. If you want to be honorary mayor of Hollywood, you must be a movie buff. Funny you should say that. I have been banned from every movie theater within 25 miles because... Even the porny graphic ones? Which ones?
Starting point is 00:20:19 The porny graphic ones. Especially the porny graphic ones. Okay. What I do when I go to a film is I think to myself, here are a bunch of potential people who could contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on my behalf and let them know Chip Gardner for Honorary Mayor of Hollywood. That's what I'm trying, that's what I'm running for. You know that, Mark.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I'll back you up. Fine. So what I do is I go around and I shake hands and I give some remarks and give speeches and things like that. I hand out buttons. We turn it into a bit of a rally. And I'll do that straight through. The whole movie? Well, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I've got a lot to say about Hollywood and my role in it and where it ought to go and what we ought to be doing. And certainly, I speak at great length about the glory of Satan. Ben, I can't get excited
Starting point is 00:21:03 about the new Spider-Man. I mean, I love that you're Spider-Man, but I just can't. Dude, you're fucking Spider-Man? Yes. I play Spider-Man. I play the Jewish. Especially that scene where he's got a bedhead.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Sally Field is your mom. Sally Field is my mom. In the trailer, you're covered in soot for some reason. Spider-Man went out and got into some shit. And then she's like, why are you covered in soot or whatever? And you go, I was cleaning the chimney. And she says, we don't have a chimney.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And then he says, what? Well, that wasn't all. That wasn't all. That's how he's going to get out of that with his mother? It's just a crazy, what? That wasn't all. The real line was, they go, why are you covering this? Oh, I was in the chimney. We don't have a chimney.
Starting point is 00:21:44 And then I go, we do now. A motherfucking Spider-Man. And then they said that ruins the entire franchise if you say it to your mom real quick or aunt. What ruins the franchise about Spider-Man being able to make a chimney? No.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's not the act of making the chimney. I believe it is canon that he's terrible. Werner what? Werner, come on, what? He's a terrible bricklayer. Okay. Masonry is not one of Spider-Man's powers? No, that is not one of his powers, no.
Starting point is 00:22:16 It takes it to a different place. Fine. Did you say an answer to my question, what movie you've seen? He said he can't go to the movies because he's the worst. He's banned. You can watch him on Netflix. Are you banned from Netflix? I'm banned from it in the sense that I'm not familiar with it.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Oh, okay. Well, that would be a way to watch some films and pump up your race for mayor as someone who's actually interested in what the town is known for. You know, I don't think that the people in town who are making films want to be pandered to in that way. I think they'd like to have an honorary mayor of Hollywood who doesn't see their work
Starting point is 00:22:48 and appreciates them as people. Cool. Mark is going with it all the way. I mean, whatever. What have you seen lately, dude? You know what I just went and saw? I'm asking you, yes.
Starting point is 00:23:00 I'm going to tell you. Okay. I went and saw the fucking Grand Budapest Hotel. Why didn't they just call that movie Mustaches and Coats? Hey man, we're doing a lot of spoilers here today.
Starting point is 00:23:14 For one thing, because there was no characters in it named Mustaches or Coats. Yeah, but that's all that's fucking in it. Oh, I get it. It was Mustaches and Coats. It was pretty good. Who would play the role of Mustaches and who would play the role of coats if it were to become an action franchise starring Mark Wahlberg?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Oh, coats, for sure. Because I got you covered, B. Oh! Now we just have to think of an actor who's on your upper lip. Yeah, who plays... Who plays the other one? Who plays Mustache?
Starting point is 00:23:47 Adrian Brody. Cool. He'd be good as Mustache. Sure. Or Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates is good. You wouldn't pay to fucking see me and her running around crashing people? No, you wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:24:01 How many people would you crash? In the first act? Yes. How many people would you crash? In the first act? Yes How many people would you crash? I'd say we'd go to a party and hit like 15, 20 Even underagers, I don't care Yeah, that's like the PG-13 thing You just kind of kill anything now, I guess
Starting point is 00:24:19 Yep, as long as there's no blood I saw Noah today How's that? What did you see? Noah Have you ever seen in any movie there's no blood. I saw Noah today and How's that? What did you see? Noah. Oh. And have you ever seen in any movie
Starting point is 00:24:27 with any rating a gentleman threatening newborn twin girls at knife point? Never a gentleman. No, never a gentleman. And how does that
Starting point is 00:24:38 fit into the Noah from the Bible? Doug, do deleted scenes from your own films count? To scenes from your life? Because you have tackled that dramatic scenario in the past?
Starting point is 00:24:50 It's come up once or twice. I saw Noah as well, and I felt I was really enjoying it for a while, that there was one part of it I wish was different. Cool, moving on. Are we supposed to guess? You could ask me. Which part?
Starting point is 00:25:15 The part where he saves all the animals. That's the part you didn't like? I liked the part where a wrathful god was going to destroy all of creation. Oh, man. Except for one family, but when all those animals showed up, it turned me off. Well, listen, it's very important that people understand this about God. He will wipe away the entire planet.
Starting point is 00:25:31 He is cruel and horrible at best. And that is why we must put our faith in Satan. Sure. Sure. But Noah's kind of a dick in this movie. Like, I think in the Bible, he was a pretty cool guy that didn't say to his family... Oh, did he come across as a cool dude in the Bible?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Yeah, he built the ark and saved all the animals. It is pretty cool, yeah. Two by two, motherfucker. But in the movie, he says to his family, all right, so you're going to kill you and bury her, and then you're going to kill him. Is he like a suicide pact? All down the line, leaving it at
Starting point is 00:26:06 the young boy. To the young boy he says, and then you'll kill and bury them and then you will just live out your days and eventually turn to dust. So he's basically saying to a 12 year old, we're just going to leave you here alone
Starting point is 00:26:21 and you're just going to be alone with nobody else on the planet. That's what my second stepdad said to me. Second one. He was receiving these messages directly from God. Satan would have had a better plan. It was weird. It was pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:26:36 But to be fair, that kid did turn to dust. A shit ton of spoilers today, guys. No, the movie did take place a long time ago. I guess. All of the characters are dead now. I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:54 They're all dust. I guess. Maybe. It can't be a spoiler. This is all a matter of record. Yes, it's true. It's based on true events. It's a weird-ass movie.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I really... Hold on to your butts. Jurassic Park. You nailed it. You nailed it. That was doing lines with Mark. Was that the log line for Jurassic Park? Hold on to your butts.
Starting point is 00:27:18 No, it's what Samuel L. Jackson says right before he says, What's in your wallet? Yep. I saw Muppets Most Wanted. Oh, how was that? I liked it. I liked the first one a lot. I liked it because there's a frog named Constantine who's pretending to be Kermit the Frog.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Does he have a mustache? And he's Russian. Well, he had a mole, but he covers up his mole with extra green felt. And he slaps a mole on Kermit with super glue so everybody thinks Kermit is Constantine and Constantine gets to pretend to be Kermit but then he says stuff like
Starting point is 00:27:52 it's the Muppet show I'm Kermit the Frog and it never stops being hilarious for the entire movie how shitty his impression is. And none of the other Muppets, except for Animal, knows that it's not really Kermit. And Animal's always yelling about it, but who listens to him anymore? I have a question.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Is Constantine's Kermit the Frog voice as sadly disappointing as Kermit the Frog's Kermit the Frog voice? No, it is a relief for Kermit the Frog's Kermit the Frog voice. Yes. No, it is a relief for Kermit the Frog's Kermit the Frog voice because I'm sad that it doesn't sound right. And so then to have the whole movie, him going, who cares? I have Constantine. You know, to have Kermit talking that way. Plus the way they muppetize him with the hand in the muppet,
Starting point is 00:28:40 his face looks a little different the way that he talks. What is the process of muppetizing? Are you saying that this is a real frog that was muppetized? You put your hand inside a sock puppet, you can decide what shape its head's going to be by changing the shape of your hand. That's muppetizing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:56 It's nice that this character, Constantine, gives you a break from thinking about the death of Jim Henson. Oh. Burner. It does, it does. It is interesting that none of the other muppets seem Henson. Burner. It does, it does. It is interesting that none of the other puppets seem to move. Jim would be tickled by it. Fuck that dude.
Starting point is 00:29:12 You don't like Jim Henson, Mark? No, I do not like Jim Henson. What did Jim Henson do to you? Oh yeah, let's make something about poor people and call it Fraggle Rock. They weren't poor people, they were little tiny workers. They were all probably unionized. I'm hip to that shit. I read a book.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Is Showtime the Showtime series Shameless based on Fraggle Rock? Is it like a live action Fraggle Rock? It probably fucking is. It probably is. But that sad dude from what's that movie? Magnolia? William H. Macy.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yeah, I'm going to bang it, dude, because I got braces. Nobody would fuck a chick with braces. Why would you bang another dude with braces? Magnolia. What's that? Magnolia? Are we playing that game again? Oh, no, I was just fucking talking about that fuck.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I am Kermit the Frog. Good dub job. Good thumbs up. I love it. I'm obsessed with it. I think that's so fun. Doug, I saw Die Hard at the Arclight Theater. They did a playing of it. Yeah, let's go back around.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Everybody give me another one. So I saw Die Hard at the movie theater. Uh-huh. Are we going to the theater? I don't fucking go to theater. What? No, it's like you can't pause it. Man, I'm trying to get on the same level with you, Mark.
Starting point is 00:30:29 That's my favorite thing about the show Entourage, is that you can pause it. You can pause it. Yeah, stop button. Why do they call it Closest to the Hole? And you don't have to start it again. Yeah. You don't have to.
Starting point is 00:30:40 It's up to you. It's your choice. That show actually films in Los Angeles. That's something you're fighting for. Oh, yes, but that's one that should go. They're going to make a movie, aren't they? No offense, my friend, no offense. Are they making a movie?
Starting point is 00:30:52 Right now they are. I saw them filming the other day. Oh, shit. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fucking great, I think is what you meant to say. Why do you call Closer to the Hole Productions? Why is that your thing? Or Leverage? One of those is yours. Why? Because in any form
Starting point is 00:31:06 of competitive nature, I'm winning. So why not make up like a production company that lets everyone know Closest to the Hole Production? Also counts for Leverage. You're covered either way.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Right, also, what about Hole in One? Wouldn't that be better than Closest to the Hole? If I'm in it, and you're not, I'm closest to the hole.
Starting point is 00:31:30 My biggest regret was asking that question. In my entire life, my biggest regret was asking that question. May I ask, Mark, will we ever see a fourth season of In Treatment? Most people were fucked up. Here was my deal.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I go, why don't we take these people that are sad about their fucking wife or their dad or whatever and have them fight it out? They're like, no, no, no, no, no. We'll just have them talk.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And you know what? That never works. What would be your dream in-treatment battle? Like between two people? Yes, like would you like to see Sunil from season three versus Sophie from season one?
Starting point is 00:32:14 I'd like to do it. No, I'd like to do it. It was my favorite show. We'll be back with more of losing the crowd after these messages. And we're back. Thanks for winning.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I won the fucking Leonard Mullen game. Good game, guys. Thank you, guys. Good game, Mark. That was so awesome. Mark, go ahead and give this to
Starting point is 00:32:36 whoever you were playing for. Just go give it to them. That was cool. You let Jordan play. Jordan, you fucking suck. Hand them the prizes. We've never done that before going to
Starting point is 00:32:45 commercial for the entirety of the Leonard Moulton game, but I thought it'd be a fun thing to do. It was an amazing Leonard Moulton game. It was a real nail-biter. I bit an actual nail. He went negative five, which is more than Sam Levine has ever done. Who? It's better than Sam Levine.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Alright, well, congratulations. You won the prize bag and you get to name the shithead tonight at the end of the show. Oh. Well. Werner, what do you think of that shithead? I'm going to say that. The last thing I'm going to say on the show tonight is this.
Starting point is 00:33:17 He's certainly justified in calling that fellow a shithead, but I dread the dramatic reading of it from Doug Benson. That's me, of course. Yes. But that's in case anyone should like to quote me. They won't have to put in brackets
Starting point is 00:33:36 Doug Benson. I want to say this. I want to say this, Josh. Josh. After we read this later, I hope this dude falls face first into a curb. You're all going to love it when you hear it later. Well,
Starting point is 00:33:51 I would like to hear this person's point of view. You're saying it should be that everyone has, there's two sides to every story. Yes, that's right. Perhaps we should hear this other fellow out. Clearly we should. Nope.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Okay. Nope. Anytime someone else has something they want to say, you just fucking hit them first. Hey, where are you going? I was actually, boom, fucking jackal. You'll win. The element of surprise.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yep. It's key. Yeah, it's key. Yeah. We were talking about in-treatment. Let's get back to it. Let's get back to it, baby. In-treatment is a program that each episode
Starting point is 00:34:39 is one shrink talking to one patient. Based on an Israeli program. It's just fucking sad, people. Why don't we talk about Wahlburgers or Boardwalk Empire, all the other great fucking projects I'm a part of. Name two more.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Whoops. We got the water thing. We covered that, Transformers 4. Pain and Gain 2 is going to be coming out next year. No, it's not. Yes, it is. More Pain and Gain. You really to be coming out next year? Jesus Christ. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Is it really? More Pain and Gain.
Starting point is 00:35:08 So you really hit it off with Michael Bay. I think a lot of actors don't like his kind of yelly style, but I guess maybe he doesn't yell at you. Oh, no. He don't fucking say shit to me. Whoa. I love it because he's like, here's the deal. We're going to fucking shoot this dude in the face and then blow this up. Are you in?
Starting point is 00:35:21 I'm like, dude, we already started rolling? Has he ever accidentally called you Shia? What's that? Are you in? I'm like, did we already start rolling? Has he ever accidentally called you Shia? What's that? Oh no, I'm out there. I'll talk to anybody. No, it's a different actor. I'm sorry, I meant has he ever called you Wallflower instead of
Starting point is 00:35:38 Wahlberg? Oh no. I like that band though. Wallflowers? Jacob Dhmm. Jacob Dillon? One headlight. Oh, so fucking good. We can make it home. They used to play at the Kibbitz Room next to Cantor's Deli.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Oh, wow. Little Wallflowers. What are your haunts? Werner, where do you go? Like, if I wanted to hang out, I said, hey, man, you want to get some food today? What would you say? Do you know the Arby's on Sunset at Bronson? Sure. It's a good talking Arby's.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That's a real Hollywood Arby's. Right near the new Emerson College. Oh, cool. Yes, beautiful. I am addicted to the horsey sauce. Horsey sauce. Werner Herzog is addicted to the horsey sauce. I like to imagine it is a liquefied horse. And I squirt the packet directly
Starting point is 00:36:24 into my mouth and I say victory over all horses. Okay. So Arby's was the answer. That Arby's is the new Schwab's. I like animals, but I don't like to squirt the whole packet into my mouth part was the most disturbing part to me. Why?
Starting point is 00:36:42 Just seems like that wouldn't taste that great. Like, you don't like to put it on something? Have you tried? Okay, I'll try it. It's all by itself. I'll try it. I am kind of a minty frog.
Starting point is 00:36:55 You're right. Do you have anything to plug? That it never stops being funny. How was that play? The play? That I did? No, Die Hard. Oh, by the way, I love... Were we not talking
Starting point is 00:37:08 about you for a second, Ben? No. Did we need to go back? No. Because he said, do you have anything coming up? I did. There was two separate questions. I was waiting politely. When does this come out, do you think? Soon? Yeah. Sunday is the finale of House of Lies, the last episode of House of Lies. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:24 How about some spoilers there's actually an enormous the way that it ends is enormous to the point of I have no idea what happens next season
Starting point is 00:37:34 it's a very big thing you killed Don Cheadle I killed Don Cheadle yeah I take him out and then Die Hard played amazing by the way the movie is almost
Starting point is 00:37:42 a perfect movie oh it is a fucking perfect movie it is almost a perfect film I'm curious to is a fucking perfect movie. It is almost a perfect film. I'm curious to hear about this play. This play that I'm doing? Yes. It's a play where
Starting point is 00:37:52 I play Mark Wahlberg. Fuck yeah, dude. Say it again. Punching your way to the top. It's called Punching My Way to the Top. And it's basically just, it's like I look like
Starting point is 00:38:03 Super Mario and I just keep hitting things above me and I keep punching them. Movies and money keeps coming out of the top. And it's basically just, it's like I look like Super Mario and I just keep hitting things above me and I keep punching them. Like movies and money keeps coming out of the box. Your brother keeps dragging you down? I mean, I guess. It's good. It's something we're working on. Closest to the
Starting point is 00:38:18 whole productions. Chip, what do people need to do to get you elected Honorary Mayor of Hollywood? Well, great question. Folks, you need to contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce
Starting point is 00:38:31 and you need to tell them, forget about all these other whores and liars and jackasses that you're considering for the job of Honorary Mayor of Hollywood. Chip Gardner is my man. Wow. He understands Hollywood
Starting point is 00:38:44 and he understands Satan. Whoa. And he's the only one who could be Hollywood's ambassador to the world and Satan's ambassador to the world at the same time. How would you change things in Hollywood with your honorary mayoral status?
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah, what's your platform? Or what's your honorary platform? I've got a lot of ideas, guys. But one thing I think is very disrespectful, that we can walk upon our greatest stars there in the sidewalk of the Walk of Fame. I think it's a real shame that we're walking and spitting and traipsing upon. But it's called the
Starting point is 00:39:15 Walk of Fame. Yes, that's right. I think it's a bad idea. I think we should chisel up every one of those stars and put them up, you know, about six feet high, so that we are appropriately walking underneath them. We're beneath them, and then form a tunnel. It's just a system of tunnels throughout Hollywood. This is millions and millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:39:34 It's not going to be cheap, my friend. It's not going to be cheap. Okay. It's fucking genius, though. Thank you. It's got to be done, because it's disrespectful to walk around on the likes of... Mark Wahlberg, I'm sure, has a star.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Yeah, yeah. You must have. And like fucking Burl Ives and shit. Sure. Yeah. Burl Ives. Nobody should be able to spit on Burl Ives. Wink Martindale.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yep. Do the new kids have a star? I bet. I don't know. You'd have to call them on a pay phone and find out. Jesus. Jesus, Mark. No, you're right. I'm sure they're probably on a cruise somewhere with a whole bunch of. Jesus. Jesus, Mark.
Starting point is 00:40:05 No, I'm sure you're right. I'm sure they're probably on a cruise somewhere with a whole bunch of fat chicks. Jesus, Mark. Christ. Werner, if you were... You could only reach him
Starting point is 00:40:14 on a burner. Yeah, right. A burner phone? Yeah, yeah. If you were Mayor Werner, what would be your first thing you'd do to Los Angeles?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Remove all palm trees and create a gigantic fire that could be seen from space with all the palm fronds and to let any intelligent life out in the universe know that we're taking care of destroying our own planet.
Starting point is 00:40:43 We do not need any assistance. Thank you very much. Got it. I think it would make us a safer place. That's great. You know, I'm also stitching together. I kind of choked up on that one. I was moving.
Starting point is 00:40:53 You were into that shit. I have a plan that I think works nicely with that one. I'm just collecting homeless folks. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. And I'm bringing them up To my home In the Hollywood Hills
Starting point is 00:41:06 And I'm stitching them together Stitching them together Into one giant person Into who Who will be embodied With the You know With the
Starting point is 00:41:18 Demonic spirit Possibly Satan himself And then Through that body Satan will Rain chaos Upon Hollywood You have my vote Thank you And I And then through that body, Satan will bring chaos upon Hollywood. You have my vote.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Thank you. And I think that, plus a giant palm tree fire, would be a great way to ring in the new year. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Mark, what do you got going on? Fucking restaurant. You guys should go out there
Starting point is 00:41:45 and get the turkey burger keep it big into turkey burgers keep it slim I get it you know your stuff's so big Transformers doesn't need
Starting point is 00:41:53 any extra promotion no but here's the deal I appreciate you coming on if you didn't hear I said this last week Transformers 4 is going to elevate cinema as we know it
Starting point is 00:42:03 and is going to make it the greatest franchise in the history of film wow so it's already been a big hit oh my god and this new one
Starting point is 00:42:11 just looks like it's more of the same but with you instead of Shia LaBeouf yeah we got dinosaurs in this one there's a dinosaur robot yeah
Starting point is 00:42:18 oh it's gonna be so fucking good I play a dad that would definitely fuck his daughter's friends right his daughter's friends. Right. His daughter looks she's a
Starting point is 00:42:27 Very attractive. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. They run in flocks. So... Alright. Look for that you guys. That's coming out

Starting point is 00:42:43 Andy Daly was in a Transformers movie. Is that right? I think so. That must have been the best one. I'm almost certain Andy Daly was in one of them. Chip is such a fan of Andrew Daly. Are you familiar with the works of...
Starting point is 00:42:55 He brought his CD. Andrew Daly. His sweater CD. Yeah. Yep. Transformers 3. Was that what it was? I think he was in Transformers 3.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yeah? Did he like it? I think he enjoyed the experience overall, yeah. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Any cool stories from the set? Yeah, I think he found that... What do you think he found?
Starting point is 00:43:15 That Michael Bay was tough and demanding, but it was all in the service of moving fast and improvising the scenes, and all in all, a perfectly delightful person to work with. Cool. Unless you're a costumer who has the wrong color tie on somebody or somebody who
Starting point is 00:43:27 didn't move a tree when he asked him to. Then it is not a great work environment at all. He's a real actor's director and a real below the line misanthrope. It seems that way however it might all be a
Starting point is 00:43:44 joke. It might seriously all be a joke. Really? Yes. Wow. It seems that way. However, it might all be a joke. It might seriously all be a joke. Really? Yes. Wow. It seems that way. Mark, what would you say is currently the greatest cinema franchise? Maybe other than Transformers?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Yes. If Transformers is the franchise to become the greatest, then what is the reigning greatest? Let's all ask a different way. Chip, you missed it. What is an overtigning greatest? Let's all ask a different way. I just want to ask it quicker. Is that all I want? I was just about there, Chuck. So the better one, the one that's better. Yeah, which one?
Starting point is 00:44:16 Answer it, yeah. Fucking Sister Act. Sister Act? Greatest franchise of all time? Oh my god, fuck, it's not even close. That was a surprise. Oh yeah. With barely two movies, they're the best.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I must admit that I asked that question because I was hoping to hear the Bad Lieutenant franchise mentioned. But I suppose we're only up to two. Yeah. No, you get some more and we're good. Bad Lieutenant in space? How does that sound?
Starting point is 00:44:44 Now you're talking those poor nuns nuns really are dupes oh god Medea meets Bad Lieutenant fantastic that'd be fun sure
Starting point is 00:44:55 what else you got to plug Werner? um let's see I'm uh I'm directing an arc on Mixology what does that mean? you're just directing the arc on Mixology. What does that mean? You're just directing the arc, not the episodes?
Starting point is 00:45:10 I'm directing three episodes. Okay. Three episode arc. Where it will finally be revealed that the fellow with the vibrant red hair and beard is in the witness protection program. Your choice? That was your choice? Your script?
Starting point is 00:45:24 Help with the scripting? I said, please, let's all sit down and look at this fellow. Doesn't it look like he is in disguise? Now, in treatment, I've heard of. What is mixology? It follows, it has modern family as a lead in...
Starting point is 00:45:46 Oh, I see. That's what the show's about? Yes, it's about... It's about a show that has modern family as a lead in. It's about what happens in life after modern family is over. They're both on right before Nick's Burgatory. Nick's Burgatory. Nick's Burgatory, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:03 What about Wahlburgatory? I would like to see that show. Pigsburgatory. Pigsburgatory. Pigsburgatory, yeah. Yeah. What about Walburgatory? I would like to see that show. If we were to do a show where you move with your teenage daughter to the suburbs and you punch everyone you see. Oh, fuck yeah. And you karate kick a picket fence. Is there somebody that could beat you? Like, is there one person that could beat you?
Starting point is 00:46:22 Yeah, I see them every day. No, not you. You can't look in the mirror. I know what you're about to say. Don't put your hand up. Don't start up with your mirror. It will cut you. Oculus.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Thank you, Ben Schwartz, Chip Gardner, Mark Wahlberg, and Werner Herzog. Apologies, too. Put your hands together. We just went slightly over. That's my April Fool's joke is a show that ends almost on time.
Starting point is 00:46:49 And as... And we'll be back next week with a movie star is going to be here next week, scheduled for many. And as always... He's right fucking here now.
