Starting point is 00:00:00 With the $5 meal deal at McDonald's, you pick a McDouble or a McChicken, then get a small fry, a small drink, and a four-piece McNuggets. That's a lot of McDonald's for not a lot of money. Price and participation may vary for a limited time only. -♪ Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds, with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth.
Starting point is 00:00:22 They're still not one that he won't see, because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, recording on Sunday, November 24th, 2024, and I am thankful today for my guests. They are Carlos Figueroa, Sabrina Jalis and Jeff Tate. Hello. Yes. Hi. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Hello. Yes. Let's meet them all individually, alphabetically by first name. It's his first time on the show. It's San Diego comedy, Phenom, Carlos Figueroa. Hello, Carlos. Hey, Doug. I like the word Phenom, by the way.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I appreciate that. I don't hear Phenom enough in San Diego. Right. Well, I feel like that's what you are because in my mind you're one of the best-known comics in San Diego but that's you know, possibly just because I follow your social media and You seem to always be tearing it up down there. So Yeah, so I asked you to join me this Wednesday night. I'm doing a show at Sweet Home San Diego at the American Comedy
Starting point is 00:01:50 Company downtown. So I'm looking forward to seeing you there. But today, I want to ask you, how do you feel about your movie trivia skills? I feel like my movie trivia should be way better than what it is because I'm a film student But I'm also like a pump and dump kind of guy cuz I'll get information and then I'll find a new thing like a new genre or movie or just topic to be obsessed with and then I forget all of it immediately so I want to say good and Hopefully my instincts kick in but if it's bad, just. I was probably like really high for most of my college experience
Starting point is 00:02:27 Well, I'll tell you what I'll just be a fan of your appearance on the show if you don't use the expression pump and dump I'll dump that out of my memory completely and hopefully I mean I understand what you bet but for some reason my mind makes that expression a lot a lot worse than uh than certainly you meant it to be a little about me I use the I have the worst expressions in the game worst expression analogies everything else that's what I'm also really bad at okay, well that's good to know expressions and analogies Yeah, my brain is fried if I'm being honest you guys you're gonna realize that Got like a trailer for me. It's just nothing makes sense really
Starting point is 00:03:15 Well, you know I mean that's that's the kind of mind that goes into stand-up comedy, so I'm pretty used to it Also joining us today though the reason I asked you about your trivia skills is because we have maybe not, maybe not everywhere he goes. He doesn't win like, I don't know about like pub trivia or something like that, but when it comes to Douglas movies, the beast himself is here today and his name is Jeff Tate. Hey Jeff. Hey hello, how is everybody? Intimidated now. How is your, Jeff, how is your general knowledge, Vivi? I mean, I know you're good at the games
Starting point is 00:03:54 that I come up with, but how do you fair when the questions aren't being written by me? I'll tell you that I am very, I do very well at the pub quiz, uh, every week. Uh, but I, I think my best skill is putting the team together. That's important. Which elements you need, you know, the different types of brains, different categories you might be weaker in. Yeah. The only questions I know are the same kind of questions you would ask me.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah. That's what I, that's part of the thing is I think yours you're so good at this just because Our minds are already sort of in the same place when it comes to movies, but You know, I always I always try to challenge you and I always try to bring in people to challenge you and today We have have another first, firsty term I just coined for first timer. Appearing December 10th at one of my favorite venues in the world, Largo in Los Angeles, it's Sabrina Jalis. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Introducing me with a plug for December 10th in Los Angeles. I love you, Doug. You'll get more plugs at the end of the show. Incredible. As many as you want. But I thought that was a good one to start with because I am a fan of that club. We've done this podcast from there a bunch of times.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And I love it. It's the best. It's a great vibe. Just like the vibe you've created here on Zoom with faceless Zoom. None of us can see each other. It's fascinating. It's, you know, I have to design everybody's faces. Obviously, I'm basing Jeff Tate's face on Andrew Tate. Oh, that's a bad start. Wait, don't I have a picture? There's no picture. There's no picture for Carlos. Carlos.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I'm going to go the rock. I'm going to go the rock for Carlos' face. I do look Samoan. That's close. Yeah, you're closer than you were with Jeff. Alright. Well, I just wanted to clear the the I just want to say Andrew Tate's name and make sure everyone was no homo on Andrew Tate. No homo. No, no, no homo on it. Pump and dump that motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Pump and dump that guy. We both like pizza. That is literally the only thing we have in common besides our last name. And then of course, I'm picturing for Doug just as a very stoned Brad Pitt. Perfect. All right. Floyd in True Romance. And for me, you guys could just picture like if Kelly Clarkson and who's that girl from
Starting point is 00:06:41 Blue Crush? Michelle Rodriguez. If they had sex and then the technology was available to make a baby out of that sexual experience, that's me, guys. I saw you briefly, you know, because you had your camera on when you joined and I'm surprised to see no hat. No hat.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, if I'm not gonna be showing my face, why am I gonna wash my hair, put it all down, cover it up with a gorgeous hat? No, it's all rolled up and bundled up at the top there. Rolled up and ready to go. See, there's an expression you can use Carlos, no one will be offended. Yeah, I'll learn that one.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I'll add that to the bank. I'll probably say I'm wrong. You'll be getting that one wrong in no time, buddy. Give me five minutes and I'll get it wrong. Oh, rolled up with nowhere to go. Well, thanks for being here, everybody. Before we play some games today, I would like each of you to, this is the movie chat part where we get the conversation rolling by having each of you recommend One movie and since Jeff is a frequent guest on the show and he knew this question was coming
Starting point is 00:07:54 He's already probably done the homework and thought about it. So I'll have you go first Jeff What one movie would you like to recommend today? I would like to recommend the movie Burglar. I watched it yesterday and I really enjoyed it. With Whoopi Goldberg and my friend Bobcat Goldsbane? Yes, yes, that one, it was fun. It holds up. It holds up, yeah. I mean, the opening scene promises a movie
Starting point is 00:08:23 that it does not deliver, but the rest of the movie is pretty good. It's fun. There's no burglar. Now there's a burglar, but it's like the opening scene. It makes it look like it might be kind of like if would be Goldberg was the saint like that, that Val Kilmer movie where it's like put on costumes and stuff. But that's not what actually that doesn't keep happening. She just does it the one time and then, yeah, try the rest of the movie. She tries to get out of the game.
Starting point is 00:08:53 No, there is a another. Something else happens while she's burglaring something like that, like the people show up, but there's a murder. It's like there's like a Clint Eastwood movie with essentially the same premise, only this time you get to watch Whoopi Goldberg get out of the jam. And it's more fun than Clint Eastwood. She's got to prove her own innocence.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Yes. I see. What is Bobcat like her wacky friend? What's his role? Yeah, he is her friend. She talks to him about all the, like all the like the crimes and what like he's in. He's like her. But he's also a dog groomer.
Starting point is 00:09:34 So they gave him an interesting movie job and also like a sidekick role. Have you run into Bobcat lately traveling around Jeff? I think I saw him about a year ago was last time I saw him. Right before he got married again. Okay. So he probably had his ducks. Did he have his ducks with him? Oh, no. He did. I saw him at a club, so he didn't have the ducks with him at the club.
Starting point is 00:10:01 They might have been back at the hotel, but... Yeah. He's done a lot of traveling with his uh his gaggle is that the right word of uh of pet ducks and i find that so insanely adorable and insane yeah it is but it's but he's it's a this is real life man he's but he's acting like it's a cartoon yeah yeah he had to play cartoonish characters so much that now he's acting like it's a cartoon. Yeah, he had to play cartoonish characters so much that now he's just living the life. The ducks are walking around with him, following him, getting run over by cars willy-nilly? Yeah. It's like a scene from one of his movies. He has to be like, ducks, look out, ducks.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Oh my God, that's so funny. Oh man, what are those duck crossing signs? But it's Bob is first and then a bunch of baby ducks lined up behind him, so put it right out front of his house. That's adorable. I might make one of those for him. All right, burglar from 19, what do you think? 87, I think. 87. That's right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:05 All right, Carlos, I know that's a tough act to follow. from 1987. That's right. Yeah. All right. Carlos, I know that's a tough act to follow. I'm guessing you probably don't have like a Whoopi Goldberg movie to recommend, but what's the movie you think people would like? A movie that I think people would like. Um, I feel like, um, cause I was thinking about it right now too, cause too, because I'm so indecisive. I had one and then I was like, no, not that one. I think I'm going to do. Have you guys heard of the Meyerwood stories? New and selective. You heard of that? It's a bomb back. I love that. First of all, I love Adam Sandler. So any any movie with Adam Sandler love Adam
Starting point is 00:11:42 Sandler. I'm such a fan. Like it's embarrassing, but like I don't care But that movie is so good like diet a written dialogue. It's like Awkward scenes that are so like naturally funny It feels like you're just like watching like a slice of life family argument And it's it just all points like it hits on the comedy end on the drama and the writing just being a well-read Well-written movie. I love it I think that movie is a good recommend to anyone who's looking for a good movie Like it hits on the comedy end on the drama and the writing just being a well-read move well-written movie I love it. I think that movie is a good recommend to anyone who's looking for a less intense on cat gems Mm-hmm. No exactly, you know, it's got tension because the family doesn't get along all the time, but
Starting point is 00:12:20 It's not as Doesn't involve crime really or any anything violent happening Yeah, it's more so just like it's like awkward funny interactions and like seeing like Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller go back and forth as brothers is so funny It's just so like like let me see if I can even like put the words together to explain it But it feels like all the tension is so natural it feels like you just walked in an argument with siblings that like this has been brewing for a while and Like you're just watching it like play out in front of you
Starting point is 00:12:56 And it's not only just entertaining, but it's uncomfortable in a way that like grips you like you can't help but like sit there and watch I like that description I Have enjoyed a lot of Noah bomb-bomb movies and and haven't really disliked any of them. I think he's a smart guy and Does interesting stuff no, yeah, he's like the like Michael Jackson of directing movies. It's all hits. And let's not get into his personal life. You are better than that.
Starting point is 00:13:38 If you go like if it's like like just the output of what they like the? The output of what they've, like, the art they put out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Noah, Noah, like, the Mywood stories is his off the wall. Okay. And then, you know, as a person, you know, maybe they're not that similar, I guess. Yeah, I'd say Barbie is his thriller. Okay, Sabrina.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah. You've had some time to think. Oh, I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this moment. You've had some time to think why am I doing this? Yeah. No, I have one decisive recommendation, which is Waiting for Guffman.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Made in 1996, written by Eugene Levy and Christopher Guest. Christopher Guest directed it. They both star in it, along with Parker Posey, Catherine O'Hara. We got some Fred Willard in there, and it's like a perfect mockumentary movie, which actually I'm thinking about it. I'm like, why am I not writing a mockumentary movie?
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's like, mockumentaries are killing in terms of like half-hour comedies with Parks and Rec and Abbott Elementary. It's like such a great tool. Why are we not writing mockumentary movies? I haven't seen one in forever. Yeah, it's sort of like, you know, that crew, you know, that crew, the people that made that, you know, Best in Show and others, sort of cornered that market and people just sort of, at least for the big screen, avoid it, but then it's become such a staple on the small screen that I'm starting to get like, well, we don't need every other sitcom to be documentary style, but... Okay, good, because I was just making a note in my mind I'm like right a half-hour comedy. That's mockumentary cuz that's what's killing but no you're saying it's there's a new
Starting point is 00:15:32 Well, there's a new one called st. Dennis medical. Yeah, and It just it's trying it's in a hospital, but to me trying too hard to be like office and parks and rec. Ah, yeah. Those things. And so I feel like the formula is gonna burn out, but you never know. The mockumentary formula is like the P. Diddy of formulas. Yeah, that's a good analogy. It's a 10 out of 10. You know how Waiting for Gufman is the one
Starting point is 00:16:03 where David Cross has a scene in the beginning? Yes, as a UFO expert, yeah. Yeah, he even describing how he was directed in that movie is very interesting because you know he says that he'd do the scene because it's just him talking for a while. Yeah. So he'd do it and then the director would come over and say, OK, I like this. I didn't like that. I like this.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I didn't like that. I like this. Go again. And then he'd have him do it again. And I think I'm pretty sure it was a lot of takes. But just a real, like, just finding the funniest things he was riffing and just condensing it into, you know, I even think this is shot in the movies kind of a one take kind of shot.
Starting point is 00:16:51 But it was interesting to hear about it. And yeah, I think on the big screen, we're, you know, kind of due for another one. Because also, in that case, it was like the documentary style was so that there could be, you know, a lot of ad libbing on set and just finding the humorous moments, whereas with the TV ones, those seem to be very, you know, very tightly scripted. And but using that documentary format is a notice I just realized I just noticed. It's a notice that I realized you just noticed. Yeah well it's like so great for you know like when you're writing getting piping in exposition is sort of the yuckiest thing to kind of get in
Starting point is 00:17:39 there so the format just allows you to completely pipe in everything you want, because someone's talking to camera being like, okay, yeah, that's my sister and you should know that I worked here. I've worked here for 10 years. It's natural for someone to be explaining to the documentarian this context. Please let documentarian be a word or I've lost all my credit before the games have even begun. The documentarian is anyone from the planet document. Is that not a word?
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think it's a word. No, it's a word. I should never have doubted myself. No, you should have. No, you're the Phil Spector of nailing it. Thank you, Jeffrey Epstein. I love where he started. No, I don't like Jeffrey Dahmer, you murdered it.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Okay, so those are some great recommendations. I can't argue with any of those, but of course it's been a while since I've seen Burglar. We will take a break to let the listeners think about what they've heard so far. And we'll be right back. Think about what they've heard so far and we'll be right back think about what you've heard We are back and it is time to play Whose tagline is it anyway? This is the first of two games are gonna play today
Starting point is 00:18:58 No pressure anybody the the what you win for getting this winning this first game is you get to go first in the second game we play so it's not a lot on the line just a slight a little bit of help for you in the in the next game if you win the first one and now who's tagline is it anyway works is I'll say the tagline of a motion picture and then your job is to tell me what movie that is the tagline for. I will give you three options. So we'll start with Carlos. I'll say the tagline and then tell you three movies and you'll tell me which one you think
Starting point is 00:19:41 the tagline is from. If he misses and Jeff gets a shot and Especially in the first round if both of the guys miss then Sabrina will get a Gimme point because there's only you know one answer left to give I'm counting on you guys to know nothing. Yeah, right. It might work out in your favor whatever somebody gets one right we start with the next person on the next round and First person to two points is the winner of this game Carlos. Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready, okay? Which movie
Starting point is 00:20:23 Has the tagline They are the best of friends and they've got the scars to prove it is It Dutch stepmom or Beethoven Dutch the Dutch your guess is Dutch. Yes starring the great ed o'neill Yes, the great ed o'neill and the great Ethan Emory That is correct. It is a Carlos is already on the board with one point
Starting point is 00:21:01 Jeff you're up next yeah Which movie is this the tagline from? We'll do it every year until we get it right. Is it Dan in real life? Home for the holidays or the family stone? I'm a home for the holidays. That is correct as well. What is happening? Both Carlos and Jeff are on the board.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Sabrina, if you get the pressure, if you get this, you will you will tie it up. Are you ready? I mean, I'm representing all women here and the men have nailed it and I am ready. The American dream was over but the hangover was just beginning. Is that the tagline for the ice storm, grumpy old men, or instant family? Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Can you repeat the options? Oh God is not one of the options. They are the ice storm, grumpy old men or instant family. And the tagline is the American dream was over, but the hangover was just beginning.
Starting point is 00:22:24 It feels like it's not grumpy old Man and then Instant Family is too deep for Instant Family. So I'm gonna go Ice Storm. That is correct. Yeah, it's way too deep for Instant Family. That's what made me laugh when I was writing it down just to be like such a bleak tagline about people who suddenly have kids. Having children hangover has just begun. But congratulations and before we go into the final
Starting point is 00:22:58 round and the determining round of this game, everybody's nailing it. All of these movies are considered by one person or another to be Thanksgiving films. Oh cool. Yeah and Dutch is one that comes up all the time. I'm always hearing about Dutch as a Thanksgiving film and I haven't seen it in a while, so I might check it out sometime this week. But the Ice Storm, please, by all means, do not... Nobody turn that on thinking that it's going to be a Thanksgiving movie that will bring you any warmth. It's one of the coldest movies. It's one of the coldest mainstream movies ever made. No. And very, very depressing.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Based on that quote, it's like someone that you start casually talking to at a bar and you're like, all right, so I'm kind of done with this. Yeah. The hangover was just beginning. All right. Yeah, it takes place in the 70s. And I guess I guess that was when the American dream was ended. But I don't know specifically what they're referring to there as far as any particular event. I think it's a reference to MAGA, no? I don't think so. I don't think they knew about that.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Also, what a crazy tagline to go. Once we give them this tagline, are gonna want to come out and watch This movie. Yeah, no, it's really it's not Encouraging people at all. Like this movie is like a hangover. Like they didn't even say that about the hangover Yeah, you don't want to make people think about their head from robbing.bing as like a few hours of entertainment. Yeah. Like you will not be happy watching this movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Well, I'm happy that everyone turned out to be so good at this, but Carlos, this is your chance to pull down the wind in this game. If you get this right, you win. If you miss it, Jeff gets a chance. If he misses it, I'm locked in. Then Sabrina wins. Why am I always at the bottom of this little monkey barrel? Well, at least for this first round you are because I have to choose an order somehow. So I go alphabetically by first name because in life, people are usually alphabetized by their last name.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And so I don't want to brand myself the complainer before the games even began. I'm going to just sit back down. No, I like when somebody says why about any of the things that I decide. All right, Carlos, the tagline is every moment matters and then these are three movies that Somebody somewhere considers to be Thanksgiving movies scent of a woman sweet November or prisoners Oh prisoners
Starting point is 00:26:03 Why do you think it's prisoners because I feel like well a it's or prisoners oh prisoners Why do you think it's prisoners because I feel like well a it's prisoners is That's what the Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman, right? Yeah. Yeah, and they're looking for a missing girl And I feel like they say that in the movie That they do I feel like they say that every movie movie, but in Scent of a Woman, it's followed by whoah! And then in Prisoners, it's followed by Hugh Jackman screaming and yelling.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Yeah, and you know, sweet November, of course, sweet Charlize Theron is dying of something. And so, of course, every moment matters there. But you still sussed it out and got the right answer Carlos prisoners is correct Congratulations, dude. This is the first time I've won any trivia game. I Swear to God. This is like groundbreaking You're the pole pot of nail in this tagline game. Yeah, I Just needed this it needs to be about movies. I
Starting point is 00:27:04 I just needed this. It needs to be about movies. I guess so. Or you needed to get to go first and everybody knew every answer. Actually, yes. It could be that. One of the two. Everybody did equally as well, but it shakes out that you get to be determined as our winner and we're going to play a more serious game It's going to determine our overall winner today After these messages will be right back We are back Carlos won the first game. So Carlos gets to go first in this next game and Sabrina I loved I love that ad that just played oh
Starting point is 00:27:46 did you yeah whatever it is I'm buying a lot of it don't forget to use the code DLM oh my god BLM DLM all of the LMS matter Doug lives matter I thought about changing the name of the podcast to that, but I don't think it would go over well. I think try it. I could still, you know, we've been doing it for a few years now, but I have a show called Wide World of Dougs that would also be a fun alternative title for that show. And by fun, I mean inappropriate and obnoxious. But Sabrina, now you get to go second in this game.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Yes, because I complained, because I complained. No, it's because I switched the order around on the second game and Carlos, like I said, gets to go first. So that means you're second and then Jeff, and it's a game that I call the little search engine that could type the word into the IMDB search engine. You know, the website, I am. I typed a word into it today and then I wrote down the top eight movies that came up according to their weird algorithm that just basically lists things by popularity according to how many searches it gets. So it's a little unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And of course, that's part of the fun. So I'm going to tell you the word, and then Carlos is going to go first, and he's going to name a movie with that word in the title. If it's the number one movie on the list, he's going to get eight points. If it's the number eight movie on the list, he's going to get one point.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And then there's all the points for each one in between and and then Sabrina's gonna name a movie then Jeff and we're gonna each we're gonna take turns you're gonna get three turns to guess a movie with this word in the title and if you get stumped if you can't think of another movie with this word in the title, a way you can get points is sometimes just by saying, you know, just, just saying the word and some other words, like what sounds like to you might be a title because sometimes they can be pretty obscure and you can just luck into a correct guess. Okay. I got it. All right. So Carlos is up first.
Starting point is 00:30:30 And today the word in honor of all the people listening to podcasts like this one, while stuck in goddamn airports because of the Thanksgiving holiday and all the crazy storms going around all over the country. The word is plane, P-L-A-N-E. There's no examples of P-L-A-I-N. It's all plane as in an aero plane. what comes to mind when you think of movies that have the word plane in the title I can I legitimately I'm like I can only think of like two well you only need one right now so which one do you think is more popular today? In 19 in November 24 2024? I'm gonna go with the way we can can plane be like it plane is just one word, right? It can be like, if I say Airplane was that does that work?
Starting point is 00:31:46 That's that could technically work but I'm gonna I'm gonna cut you a break on this one and say that it's None of them are Airplane it's either Just straight up the word plane or also the plural of plane Oh, okay, then I got what comes up as snakes on the plane Snakes on a plane is number two on the list. Yes
Starting point is 00:32:16 You're off to a strong start with seven points. There's a number to answer snakes on a motherfucking plane Number two two snakes on a motherfucking plane. Nice. Number two, two guesses, two for two. I like where this is going, but you never know what's going to happen in this game because there's still number one is available for eight points. And like I said, everybody gets three guesses. So we're going to add up the points at the end and figure out who our winner is.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Sabrina, what's your first guess? Well, having just, well, I was going to say given birth, but my wife carried the baby. But I will take credit. I will take credit. Having just created a baby that looks like a John Candy tribute character, that looks like a John Candy tribute character. I would be remiss to not know the title Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Oh, that's a good one. The beginning of that set up to be sounded like you were just going to say,
Starting point is 00:33:17 you're just so excited to be the person with the baby on the plane. No, I am. I'm definitely I've traveled with him already and I and I have an older son as well. My specialty as a butch lesbian is having just that energy where it's like, you know what, this baby is everyone's problem and everyone's solution. So everyone pitch in if I'm on a plane alone with my baby, you better believe there's three or four other parents on that plane. they're gonna help me. I feel like parents are willing to help too. And also people are drinking on planes, they want to hold a baby
Starting point is 00:33:53 and they're sitting so it's safe. There's definitely no way I'm not peeing on a plane holding my baby in that in that closet of a bathroom. It's like that's way more dangerous than letting someone who's had a couple of pinot grigios and they're on their way to their honeymoon, let them hold the baby. I love your attitude. You seem like you're flying to cool places.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Oh yeah. Oh yeah, assume it. Taking your baby to all the hotspots. This baby's already been to Sicily, Barcelona, London. This baby's a... Oh my God. Yes. I haven't even been there.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Well, Carlos, if you want to be adopted, you just send in your application. We're looking for a third. If you take me to Sicily and Barcelona, yeah, I'll do it 100%. All right. You were vacationing in those spots or you had, you did stand up there? Look there's a website called going. It used to be called Scott's cheap flights. And what happens is they'll send you alerts.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And I have flown like to Bangkok $600 round trip business class off of this website. I'm not sponsored. I wish I was sponsored. But it's a website you put your address and so we got there was like a cheap flight to Sicily. So we booked it. Just like, do you have to go you have to be ready to go immediately? No, no, it's just mistake fairs get posted. This one was premium
Starting point is 00:35:22 premium economy 800 bucks return, which was great. And you got you your wife and two babies? Yeah, I got all that. What? Wow. Carlos, put a diaper on and come join our family. It's already on. It's already on. We're the Michael Jackson of lesbian parents.
Starting point is 00:35:42 You're just always holding them over balconies? That's right. That's completely correct. All right, so. Did I score? I want to know the name of that website again. It's called going but it used to be called Scott's cheap flights, which I liked better. It seems very fringe.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Now it's called going going.com. Yeah. Okay. Shout out to. flights which I liked better it seems very fringe now it's called going going.com yeah okay I mean seriously that's uh that's exciting yeah because it's like you know there's a whole world out there and it's like where are you going you're going to go to the place that's like inviting you to the front of the cabin for 600 bucks yeah I never thought I'd be jealous of a baby until you told me your baby's been three places my baby's been more than that though. My baby's been every this is the other trick that well, while I'm somehow just taking the spotlight for a little longer. The trick with babies, you gotta fly with them everywhere in the beginning stages of their life because if you think about an airport and
Starting point is 00:36:45 Air travel it's like the epitome of Like parts of life that are hard. Everyone's anxious. Everyone's trying to make you in a bad mood people are like everyone's very high-strung, but if you can teach your baby early to like withstand that and Just suffer through it. Then you got a pretty good baby. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. But also, you don't think the baby would just fall asleep through it? No, the baby does fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:37:11 When the baby's asleep, that's great. When the baby's not asleep, then it's just like the idea of, and for you as a parent early on to deal with like, you know, just we're gonna walk into a shit show and let's try and keep our moods together. God, I want to be a baby so bad. So do I. I think we all I think that's what we all want. Really? Yeah. I don't even want to I did it. So you described everything you just said and now I don't want
Starting point is 00:37:38 to be anything. No, I'm not Jeff. Imagine, imagine you're imagine you're just being held, you got some warm milk, drag through an airport where it's terrifying and everybody's scared. Okay, let me pull you back to the positive. You're sucking on a tit, you're getting Yeah, that was the promise that we were given when we popped out of the bodies was like, you're gonna be sucking on tits and eating
Starting point is 00:38:06 Milkshakes and then all of a sudden it's taxes. It's elections. It's Global warming it could have been so simple. We ruined it. We did ruin it We should have all still been sucking their parents tits and I do believe it's time to pass the torch on to someone else Yeah, this is a good tagline for a movie though How's your baby been on a train yet, Sabrina? My baby has not been on a train yet. All right, well you might want to get get on that. I don't know if going has to keep her train routes. Okay, okay, knock me off my high bringing about about all my travel where it's like... I'm just saying, but then again, trains and train stations are generally calmer than planes
Starting point is 00:38:52 and other things. They are, yeah. It's not stressful. It's very relaxing. Maybe the baby will just be naturally at home there at any age. Planes, trains, and automobiles, of course, it's high up in the list because to me It's the movie that when you when you ask people favorite Thanksgiving movie It's the one that comes up the most often and it's the most accurate because it really takes place on Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:39:15 And is a genuinely good movie not like some movie. That's just We decided to make a movie about Thanksgiving because just already now you've got a flawed premise because Thanksgiving itself is based on human atrocities. So it's number four on the list and Sabrina is on the board with five points. Congratulations. Thank you so much. the list and Sabrina is on the board with five points. Yes. Congratulations. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:39:48 But now here comes Jeff Smarty Pants Jeff, who knows everything about movies and what's your first guess, Jeff? My first guess I'm going to it easy. It just say plane from 2023 starring Gerard Butler is number one on the Just repeating back the word plane Got you the number one answer I got you the number one answer So Jeff is one point ahead of Carlos, so Carlos you need another one. That's on the list. What's your second guess?
Starting point is 00:40:38 Plane Geez I never thought it'd be this hard to think of more moves with the word plane Yeah, that's why you might just have to you know riff one out just like put some words together that include the word plane Wait, okay. What about this? Okay, so there's got to be is there a movie called planes Well, you can guess that as your answer, but I can't tell you okay. Okay. I give you say I'm gonna go with Tell you okay. Okay. Okay. I give you say I'm gonna go with Snake snakes on the plane, too. I don't think they got around to that unfortunately And if they did it would have a fun
Starting point is 00:41:18 subtitle so Carlos gets zero for this round, but you're gonna still get one one more guess. So it's still, and certainly keep thinking about movies, movies with plane or planes in the title. And we're back to Sabrina. This is your chance to surpass both of these guys. Okay. This is hard. And are you You can't it's the airplane won't do right? It's just it's specifically plane. Yeah airplane and airplane two are not in the mix Okay Well, what about Carlos didn't submit this
Starting point is 00:42:04 I Carlos didn't submit this. Right plans putting an S on the end of the officially did not do that. Is that you know, I'd like to do that. That is an animated film like cars, but not like cars because not good, but it's called planes and it is number eight. Oh my gosh. Gorgeous. Sorry, Carlos. But you know,
Starting point is 00:42:27 it's only worth one point, but Oh, no, one point would have been crucial for Carlos. And that was that was a real forced error on his part. Unforced I mean. Jeff, do you think of any others? Yo, hell yeah, man. Soul Plane. Soul Plane is number three on the list. Six more points for Jeff.
Starting point is 00:42:55 What? No. Wow. Yeah, Soul Plane. I don't know what's keeping that thing up. How am I going to beat Jeff? Wait, did he just win? Is there a round?
Starting point is 00:43:04 He might have just won, yes. No, Doug. Is there a round where we can get so many points for something? Well, that's what I should do is I'll, just to keep this competitive, if Carlos or Sabrina, if either one of you on your last guess get a movie that's on the list, I will double the points for however many points are available, and that puts you in range of tying or beating Jeff. Okay. But that's also how, unlikely I think it is that you will name a movie that is on this
Starting point is 00:43:38 list. I just imagine Sam's reaction to if he had been in my spot for that. Uh, yeah, you wouldn't be happy about it. Imagine Sam's reaction to if he had been in my spot for that Yeah, you wouldn't be happy about it It's not the most fair game in the world but also You know it is impressive that Jeff is named two out of the top three especially when the other two are both very Very well known playing movies as well, so so everybody's doing a good job knocking these off the list, but things get a little weird With IMDB and what people are looking for so I just had an epiphany so I'm ready
Starting point is 00:44:17 Carlos first though what you got Carlos um God I keep thinking and trying to think of stuff because I don't want to give a dumb answer, but I might have to just like guess I'm gonna go with I'm just guessing that this movie exists. Is there a movie called plane time? No, but that's something you say to a baby when you're off to play for it's playing time That's my guess I get that's the kind of guess I appreciate Especially if you you know if there really was a movie named playtime that would have been amazing And maybe there is a movie called that but it did not crack the top eight
Starting point is 00:45:04 on IMDb. Let's go to Sabrina with the. I've had this exciting. All right. So the year is 2019. I have been cast in a sitcom on CBS called Carol's Second Act. It got canceled very quickly, but I enjoyed every beat of it. One of the co-stars on this TV show, Kelsey Grammer,
Starting point is 00:45:31 talking about how he just wrapped shooting a movie with Plane in the title. Now it was either Plane, Money or Money Plane. I'm going to go with Money Plane. Money Plane starring Kelsey Grammer is number five. Yes! What? What? Yes, I wanna thank CBS. I wanna thank... Who was your co-star that was in Money Plane?
Starting point is 00:45:59 Kelsey Grammer was on the show and he had shot that movie. Yeah. He was a regular on Carol's second act. No, he was not a regular. He was a coast. He came on for an episode. Patricia was the Patricia. He is Carol. Exactly. I was like, what's Kelsey Grammer doing doing in that show?
Starting point is 00:46:16 But he just popped in. He popped up and then spent the whole time talking about money playing. Where does that put me? Doug, where does that put me Doug? Where does that put me? Well, I got to stay true to my word. That's worth four points, but I'm going to double it.
Starting point is 00:46:31 And that means that you're now tied with Jeff with a total of 14 points. Jeff has to get one of the remaining titles on the list to win this thing. My God, I don't know if I could I don't think you can So I'm gonna say honest. It's exciting to to have a tie, but let's let's see what you got I'm gonna say they like I had a fun one For if this if this didn't happen, and I'm just gonna do it anyway planet of the apes Now see jeff of course plan of the apes, uh, showed up pretty high on the list when you type plane into the
Starting point is 00:47:17 But it didn't uh, it's not the word plane As I outlined at the beginning that it has to be plain or planes but you're right as that is a clever response and if I was a you know if I was a cheatin man I would tell you that it's worth some points but it's not so so it's official that Jeff and Sabrina have tied, so we have a co-winners today on the show. And you'll both be invited back as soon as we could possibly make it happen.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Cause that's- What's gonna happen to Carlos? Carlos never gets to be on the show again. He's canceled from Wednesday night in San Diego and we actually actually We found some footage of you doing some really sad things that will be released Yeah, I've got some yeah, it's gonna be I'm gonna dock I'm gonna dock him. It's really bad when you lose on this show.
Starting point is 00:48:23 How does this affect me getting adopted though? Is that still on the table? Cause that's- Oh no, you'll be more adopted once you're canceled. We have- Yeah. We're sort of interested in canceled men that want to be adopted.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Yeah. What website is that? That's called going, needing to be going soon. I thought it was going to be gone.com. But no, Carlos, of course, is going to be back on the show sometime because it was an excellent first appearance. But for those who are curious about the two weird obscure titles that you didn't get. Like you got all the titles that are gettable because number seven on the list was, I didn't know this exists, I still don't believe it, Plane to Busan.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Oh. What? Which turns like a sequel to Train to Busan. But when I read the description, it sounds like it's almost like a ripoff sequel. Like it's not really affiliated. Oh yeah, they do. There's a movie that just came out called The Twisters and it's just some other tornado movie.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Just some fucking bullshit tornado movie. I accidentally walked into Train to Busan thinking it was Obvious Child. Like I bought the ticket to Obvious Child, Jenny Slate's movie, and then yeah and it was like 20 minutes in where I'm like Jenny, Jenny Slate would have showed up pregnant. Yeah, there's strikingly little abortion talk in this, on this train, but did you watch the whole thing? No, I just watched the first 20 minutes of Train to Busan and then I watched the last hour and 20 of Obvious Child. What an interesting storyline that must have been. But Train to Busan, I mean, you know, I'm assuming that day you were more into seeing the movie you meant to see, but I would recommend
Starting point is 00:50:20 watching the rest of it because it's really good and really much more emotional than you'd expect from a zombie movie. It's so good. Yeah, I tend to shy away from movies where there's like it sort of hinges on people being like, you don't understand the mainframe is in the patchwork of the fresh red travel of the new if we don't get to the brown sea. I thought you said you didn't see it. And now you're quoting it word for word. I just sort of gloss over and, you know, I don't what? Yeah. But I bet if you love it a lot,
Starting point is 00:50:56 I can get past the fact that I bet there's so many scenes like that. Yeah, I think I think you might ultimately like it, but we'll okay, you know, we'll see and then again Apparently released sometime this year. I Assume it's not a December release. I assume it came out already but a movie called Monster on a plane. Oh Yeah, she Who is she? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:26 It's a reteaming of Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez. Yeah. Yeah. They have to, they're forced to fly together somewhere as mothers. Is that a spinoff to Bridezilla? Or it's that same plot from the movie about Eileen Wuornos, but it's on a plane. Exactly. The tagline is like, if Charlize Theron was ugly, but in the sky.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Did you hear about how Jess Wellington is going to start doing a show, I think in Los Angeles, that is like, like hosted by she she's gonna play Eileen Wuornos. I did hear about that. She actually sent me the invite and I was like, I'm very interested. It sounds so funny and also just strange at the same time. It's very strange and funny. All right, so congratulations to Jeff and to Sabrina. Sabrina, you go first. What would you like to plug? I deeply want to plug. Of course, there's the December 10th at Largo, but I'm doing this longer set. I'm kind of like working on a one hour.

It's incredible weather, a little dusting of snow and you're like, oh my God, let me hear this girl I heard. Let me get back inside and hear jokes from a girl that almost kind of tied and won a podcast. Does the baby get to go to these places? You know, my son started DJing and I'm kind of, I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:53:17 bring we're traveling for the winter and we're gonna bring his little deck so he might DJ a little as people walk in. My six-year-old, the nine-month-old will be six. What's the DJ, does your six-year-old have a DJ name? It should be DJ Nepo baby because I'm hooking up with all the gigs but his name is Wolfie and it's DJ Wolfie. He's DJ'd a couple of his talent shows at school and it's really crazy how he like understands the software now and it's like, at first it was like a joke, like a party trick joke
