Saturday, I will be interrupting Whip It at the Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City, Missouri at 4.30. And at 2 o'clock, this is the kind of Alamo Drafthouse shit that goes down. At 2 o'clock, there's going to be a roller derby demonstration on the street outside the theater
Starting point is 00:01:40 with commentary by me and Chris Cubis and the other special guests. We're going to get to sit there like we're on NBC or some shit or Dodgeball an underdog story and I'm going to feel like Jason Bateman and Gary Cole is my point
Starting point is 00:01:59 and I'm going to sit there and commentate on the action that's going on outside in a street like cops are going to sit there and commentate on the action that's going on outside in a street. Like, cops are going to have to lock down a street from traffic for something that I'm doing. And that tickles me. The next day, Sunday, June 5th, cops won't be involved, but we're doing a Douglas Movies at the Kansas City. Improvdouglasmovies.com for more info on all that kind of stuff. I'm touring too much, you guys.
Starting point is 00:02:27 So see me while before I get sick of it. From the corrections department, I think I said that Ron Funches and I will be on at midnight competing against each other on June 22nd, but it's actually June 24th.

It's a good one. Lots of good stuff in there. I think this is probably an XXL Douglas Movies shirt. We've taken and given away
Starting point is 00:03:31 sizes that people don't buy over the internet. Because we have them laying around. My friends at Chameleon Glass gave me one of these camouflage hats that's the kind of camouflage that makes me think, where are you hiding? Are you hiding in a particularly bleak museum? Oh, this is cool.
Starting point is 00:03:52 We got from my friends at Poke Bowl. You've seen the Poke Bowl on the desk, on the table. It's not a desk. Nobody's writing or learning. It's on the table on Getting Doug with High every week is a Poke Bowl, and it's not a desk nobody's writing or learning it's on the table on getting dug with high every week is a poke bowl and it's the item that David Cross called ridiculous
Starting point is 00:04:11 because he doesn't get it we've got oh boy and also from chameleon glass a sticker that says chameleon glass so help promote them they're based out of Arizona pops hot dogs gets a laugh every time but it's a real place help promote them. They're based out of Arizona. Pops Hot Dogs.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Gets a laugh every time, but it's a real place. Two fucking free hot dogs, you guys. I got hundreds of those. Oh, here's a little container that's probably also from Chameleon Glass. They send me too much stuff, so stop it, Chameleon Glass. I appreciate it, but I can't
Starting point is 00:04:46 the box you sent recently was so big gateway dug didn't fit in the trunk of my car I had to carry it three miles I know some of you are saying why did they send you something that wasn't delivered to your home that's because I'm not giving out my home address
Starting point is 00:05:04 to people that say I want to send you something i hope this dude's listening i can't remember his name now though but a guy sent me i think a manifesto and i don't really i don't really want your manifesto dude please don't do anything terrible i'm telling you it's like this this thick and i started reading it and i don't understand a word of it it It's not in another language. It's in sort of English and it's epic. The guy put a lot of work into it so I hope he's alright.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Let's get my guests out here, you guys. Three of my favorites. I enjoy these dudes every time they come on the show. They've all been on a bunch so we'll have a really good competition tonight. Please give a big warm welcome to Jeff Tate, Tony Thaxton, and returning winner Scott Aukerman! All right.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Nobody wins the first-to-talk game tonight. I appreciate that. That's a very polite panel. You let me host this thing. What did you guys bring for the prize bag? Let's start with Jeff Tate, everybody. We got a copy of Jeff Tate, I Got Potential, where you were dressed like everyone's spirit animal on the cover.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yep. You got a nice... I look like a dang old bear. That's exactly what you look like. Speaking of dang old bears, you brought the novelization of Die Hard with a Vengeance. Yep. Yep, it's a little less graphic than the movie, so if you don't like violence or cursing,
Starting point is 00:06:49 just read it. That glorious strip of hair he has down the middle of his head is almost like a mohawk. If you just tease it up a little bit more. And then you also brought the novelization of Another 48 Hours, which is interestingly better than the novelization of 48 hours. Yeah. I don't know if people know that.
Starting point is 00:07:08 It's reversed. When they hit the street, it's going to hit the fan. It? Yeah. The street. It's up to you. The street will hit the fan.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Makes a lot of sense. They're the most mismatched pair ever to hit the streets. But when the heat comes down, they need each other to stay alive. What? Hold on. This is a comedy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:31 It's the most mismatched pair. That's because it came out two years before Twins. Scott Aukerman is here, everybody. Hi, Doug. And hello, America. Did I miss what you brought for the prize bag? No, I got it right here. Oh, right. I thought that was a sandwich that you were eating.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I finished the sandwich. Oh, okay. I have a packet of scented candles. What scent, you ask? Vanilla and caramel. From the Simple Indulgence line of scented candles. So you go shopping right here on the Franklin block of stores for the show and I also have a lovely card it says your 40th birthday reminds me of that great oriental philosopher and you open it up and it says young no mo pretty It says, Young No Mo.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Pretty good. I've signed it. Are we still allowed to call them Orientals? As long as their name is Young No Mo. That's really the name of a person. It's not racist if it's really their name. Oh, yeah. Scott sealed it up for no reason.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Just to get back on the horse of licking an envelope again. When was the last time you licked an envelope? Oh, my gosh, boy. It's been a while, right? I'm going to have to turn in my chip. You know what? I'll even throw in the bag these came in. Oh, there you go. That's terrific.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I paid for that. Let's get some garbage in here. Next to all this other beautiful, wonderful stuff. I kept one of the candles. There's a bunch of those vanilla candles. I kept one. Because I enjoy vanilla and I have smells to cover up when I go on the road. Oh, there's a copy
Starting point is 00:09:15 of Gateway, Doug. What a surprise. Tony Thaxton is here, everybody. Hello, everyone. Formerly of this band, Motion City Soundtrack, he brought two of their recordings for you. Sitting around the house, taking up space. Loved seeing you guys perform all the time.
Starting point is 00:09:30 The other guys were cool, but you were the nicest one. Tell me more. So I just don't know if I could support them as a band anymore. You support them, though, don't you? I do. It wasn't acrimonious. You just are no longer the drummer. You're like, oh, shit, I have to drum every night?
Starting point is 00:09:45 Yeah. We're still friends. I just got tired of being gone all the time. So I left. Oh, so you got off of drugs when you got out of the band? Yeah. Tired of being gone? Tired of being fucked up?
Starting point is 00:09:57 And so what are you doing now besides, I should say, you host Feliz Navi Pod, which is the Christmas podcast that goes year-round. Yes. I made the natural transition of quitting my band that toured the world to start a year-round Christmas podcast with my dog. It's, well, at least he's the dog from Grinch's
Starting point is 00:10:18 Soul of Christmas, right? What? What did you say? Is that... I heard, that can't be what I sound like. Hey, Tony. I didn't dab. Hey, baby. Who told me about that dog, you guys?
Starting point is 00:10:36 That's the dog you were Christmas, don't Christmas, baby. I didn't just dab, dude. I know... I know I don't sound like that. But seriously, what do you... Christmas all the time. Christmas all the time.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Yeah. I tried to make a Grinch joke because he has a dog. And you also brought... Everyone's favorite Star Wars movie. The Christmas classic. Attack of the Clones. Everybody loves it. Who doesn't love it? By applause loves it. Who doesn't love it?
Starting point is 00:11:06 By applause. See? Everybody doesn't love it. It's not loved by everyone. Because for some reason, I owned that, and I decided I should put an end to that. Well, it's not as bad as one.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I disagree. Really? Yeah. Oh. I just didn't like that. When's the last time you watched all of them? I just didn't like that when's the last time you watched all of them because
Starting point is 00:11:28 I just watched the first one like when they said it's in 3D yeah so did I you go and there's nothing no I agree you're watching it with glasses on
Starting point is 00:11:35 yeah like a fucking nerd I think that one works that's your problem with 3D movies yeah I don't like how I look when I'm wearing them
Starting point is 00:11:44 I look around and I'm like, other people can pull this off. Yeah, the second one is not very good. And I like... Thank you, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I like terrible movies. Everyone knows that. And I don't even like that one. Yeah, you take Lone Ranger is better than... Episode 2, Shay, yeah, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Episode 2 is like Space Model UN. I don't get it, but all right. What have you seen lately, Jeff? Have you been to a shitty movie that you loved? Yeah, I saw this movie called Cold in July. Oh, yeah, you told me about that in a text or an email or something. You liked it so much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 It was great. No one here has seen it. E-Dub gave it a C-minus. I sort of got turned off by their review, but you loved it. C-minus, still a passing grade. So you'll see any movie that is not an F. Yeah, I think they gave Lone Ranger a D+. Yep.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, Kimo Sabe. Cold in July is this cool movie with the guy who plays Dexter and then Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Yeah, I saw a picture of the three of them in a truck together. Michael C. Hall. I'm sold.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Yeah, right? Michael C. Hall. Those guys in a truck? What does the C stand for? Scott Aukerman, truck buff. Scott Aukerman, you know a lot about celebrities. What does the C stand for in Michael C. Hall? I think it's cocksucker?
Starting point is 00:13:09 I had narrowed it down to two. Thank you. What's going on? What do you got to plug right now, Scott? You've got the current season of Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang. TV, thank you. Season three.
Starting point is 00:13:24 We've showed five out of the 15 episodes. This week has Nick Offerman, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, and also Michael Showalter on the show. That's this week. It's a really good episode. Yeah. And, yeah, I also want to plug my other podcast, You Talkin' U2, to me.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Yes. Which I was just fortunate enough to be on and get to see that crazy interplay that Scott and Scott have in the flesh. I didn't know what I was walking into. You're on the penultimate episode as it is ending tomorrow. Tomorrow's the final episode? Tomorrow's the season finale.
Starting point is 00:14:04 We're stopping doing it. So we have a very? Tomorrow's the season finale. We're stopping doing it. So we have a very special. Not the series finale necessarily? You might get picked up if somebody with a lot of money comes along? They're waiting for you three to start. Us three. How about this? Cantaloupe fame.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Why don't you make this pledge to the listeners? Sure. If and when YouTube puts out a new album, you do as many episodes as there are tracks and only talk about one track per episode. Okay, yeah. All right, deal. That's going to happen, you guys.
Starting point is 00:14:30 We're going to come back. U2's not going to stop. They're going to make more. We're going to come back. We just can't keep going at the pace we're going, which we start to have to do like two a week at a certain point, because anyway, we talk about...
Starting point is 00:14:42 You're both very busy. We're very busy. It's the ultimate side project. Yeah, but we do a really special season finale where we do commentary of the first episode. Oh, so you go back and just talk about how you did.
Starting point is 00:14:57 You can hear the first episode, and we talk over it. Well, you know, you really opened yourself up because people are going to love it and then ask you to do that
Starting point is 00:15:10 for every existing episode. So, good luck. Thanks, Bill. Good luck to you. How do you feel tonight about being the current Leonard
Starting point is 00:15:17 Maltin champ? Do you think we'll see you again? I doubt it. I think I lucked into it last time. You hit like three movies that I knew,
Starting point is 00:15:24 strangely. But there's just as many movies I don't know. Three. And you only need to know two to win, so I don't know where that third one came from. Oh, I do want to say I saw 22 Jump Street, and it is super, super funny. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I expect nothing less of those guys. The Lego movie is still my favorite movie of the year. I think I agree. And by those guys The Lego movie is still my favorite movie of the year I think I agree By those guys I mean because Shannon Tatum and Jonah Hill have tiny roles In Lego movie So that carries the whole film But yeah I love those guys and I love their movies
Starting point is 00:15:58 Yeah it's great it's just as funny as the first one Good for them Very smart very funny We were driving by a poster for it the other day, me and Jonah. Good story, if it ends there. Tony, what have you seen lately? I can't walk
Starting point is 00:16:15 away from a good story. Could have shot for great, but happy with good. I haven't seen a whole lot lately. I think the last thing I saw in the theater was Godzilla. That was recently, a couple weeks. It was, yeah. I didn't think it was all that goodzilla, if I may. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It's too late. It's hard to follow Doug's billboard story, man. Don't beat yourself up. It's hard to follow Doug's billboard story, man. Don't beat yourself up. I liked how in Godzilla, the only person that got to say Godzilla was the Japanese guy. Oh, perfect.
Starting point is 00:16:54 So racist. Yeah, I didn't... It looked cool, but I just... I was kind of bored. Too much Zilla at the end. Yeah, sure. I'm just saying, eh, I was kind of bored. Too much Zilla at the end. Yeah, sure. I'm just saying, like, there's a point where it becomes not about the human characters and just the monsters. It just becomes about real
Starting point is 00:17:11 estate, someone looking up Zilla.com. That was the thing, though. Alright, we gotta move on again, because that's not getting any better. It's time for me to say, let the games begin! We're four minutes behind schedule.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Gentlemen, some people brought some name tags. Some didn't. Please select the ones who didn't, who you'd like to play for. No. I'm going to reward the ones who didn't. No, select a name tag that you'd like to play for, and while you do that, we'll do this. We'll be back.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And we're back! Who are you playing for, Jeff Tate? One person clapped. They don't have to clap for that part. No one ever has to clap. It's very... We don't have applause signs or a warm-up guy. We just come back, and only one
Starting point is 00:18:02 person wanted to clap. Should we come back again? It's fine. See what happens if you say and we're back. Let's try it again. Now that Scott's taught everybody how it works. And we're back! There were still some that were like
Starting point is 00:18:17 no. There's no sign. This is clap. We're fucking doing our own thing. Who are you playing for, Jeff? 27 Jesses. I think her name is Jess. She drew this. I finally picked one that wasn't shitty.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Good job, Jeff. Who are you playing for, Scott? I'm playing for Rachel, whose sign is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster that just says Rachel the Vampire Slayer. No art to it, just merely a name substitution. Doesn't rhyme with Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster that just says Rachel the Vampire Slayer. No art to it, just merely a name substitution. Doesn't rhyme with Buffy.
Starting point is 00:18:50 So you picked it to criticize it, or... Yeah, oh yeah. So you're kind of playing against her. There's so many movies... Are you going to throw the game so that her shitty game tag doesn't win? So many movies that have Rachel in the title she could have used.
Starting point is 00:19:05 But then she would have had to do even less. It seemed like you were complaining about how little she did. That's a good point. I don't know. I'm high. Here we go, Tony. Who are you playing for? If he's complaining about that not being creative, this Kermit here is for Lorraine. Which, I don't get it,
Starting point is 00:19:23 but I'm a huge Muppets fan. Say it like Kermit, though. Say it like Kermit here is for Lorraine, which I don't get it, but I'm a huge Muppets fan. Say it like Kermit, though. Say it like Kermit. Yay! I'm Lorraine the Frog! Or like Constantine. I am Lorraine the Frog. That's for everyone who saw Muppets Most Wanted.
Starting point is 00:19:43 To determine who's going to go first today, I know that normally I let the returning champ go first, but since he's here in town and Transformers hasn't opened yet, let's do some lines with Mark. You guys want to do some fucking lines? Let's fucking do some lines. How you doing, bro? How you fucking doing?

First, give my guests to guess the correct title of this movie. You'll be a big fucking winner. We'll go first. We'll just get to go first
Starting point is 00:21:28 in the Leonard Maltin game. Anything can happen from there, but go ahead, Mark. Are you guys ready to do this? Yeah. Go ahead. Is that the line? Yeah, I fucking shagged a rotten, baby. Austin Powers. It is Austin Powers. Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I know... International. I know Mark doesn't care about full titles like National Lampoon's Animal House, but... No, I don't fucking care about that. Yeah. But Tony, what is the full title of the film?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Austin Powers. Full correct title. International Man of Mystery. It was from the first one, Mark? Yeah, that was from the first one. Okay. All right. I asked you to do It was from the first one, Mark? Yeah, that was from the first one. Okay. All right. I asked you to do a line from the third one
Starting point is 00:22:08 because Scott Aukerman's in the third one. That's okay, Mark. By the way, did you just guess at what he might say in that movie? Yeah, I shagged her rotten, baby. Well, then he says, condoms are for fucking sailors. I know that for a fact.
Starting point is 00:22:22 No way he said that. Thank you, Mark Wahlberg. I'll talk to you later. Yeah, thanks a lot. I have a feeling we will hear from him again. I was like, do a line from Goldmember, because then we can talk about how Scott Aukerman is in the third Austin Powers film. Some poor soul
Starting point is 00:22:37 said they watched it the other day for me. I just felt so bad for them. Now I want to get more people to do it, because it's fun to see your back in Michael Caine, young Michael Caine's jacket. Michael Caine in the front, Aukerman in the back. Michael Caine
Starting point is 00:22:54 in the sheets, Aukerman on the streets. You play Michael Caine's back? No, he just had his back. The actor Michael Caine's back. Oh, you and Michael Caine need each other to stay alive like in another 48 hours? So, yeah. So, congratulations, Tony.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Good job. Thank you. And congratulations, Scott, for a gold member. Thank you so much. That started my career and ever since then. I'm sure you've told the full story before, but you thought it'd be a little bit more to it than just being his back. Yeah, well I went in to
Starting point is 00:23:31 I went on the audition and they told me I was young Michael Caine and so I worked on a Michael Caine impression. Can he do it now? It's been so long but it was something like, oh, Michael Caine. You know, something of that to that effect. His signature line. He should
Starting point is 00:23:48 have to say that every single role he does. Just pop in, set the audience at ease, just say, I'm Michael Caine. Oh, he's here. Okay, great. And then he just starts. So I did the audition, and they were like, wow, that's really good. And I did a lot of acting of watching something blow up and all this
Starting point is 00:24:03 kind of stuff. And then they looked at me. And then they had me go out and meet Mike Myers and Jay Roach. And I went to the studio. It was just them. They were rehearsing the thing where he does the legs crossing and all that. And I walked in. I'm like, wow, this is a big deal. I'm meeting these guys. This is
Starting point is 00:24:19 like a huge part that they're giving me. And I met them and they go, oh. And we chit-chatted for a while and then they go, all right, well, let's get a look at you. Turn around. I was like, is this that show business story I've heard?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Let's see that ass. And I turn around and they went, yep, that'll do. Oh, nice. And then I got to the set and I was just, yeah, it was just me from really far away and me just like, my back the entire time.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Holding, like, baby Austin Powers or something? I don't remember. But it was a cool, I mean, they were all really nice. Jay Roach, like, actually came up to me and was asking me for, like, script advice on it and stuff, because he knew I worked on Mr. Show and stuff, so he was like, well, in this scene, what would you do? I would change all
Starting point is 00:25:06 of it. No, it's a great film, great experience, great people. Do you think Jay Roach smokes weed? Because that would be weird. It would be a missed opportunity. Yeah, totally a missed opportunity. Yeah. You get to pick a category, Tony. Would you like
Starting point is 00:25:21 At Elliot's World suggested hold on to your potatoes. And that of course is films that are set in Ireland. At Ann Eddie Nunn. Not at any Eddie Nunn. Ann Eddie Nunn.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Or that is just anyone. Post No Bills. That's Bill Murray movie. Movies to sequels. Sequels to movies. Fuck it. No, it's sequels to movies that Bill Murray was in, but he's not in the sequel.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Okay. Yeah, and it goes deeper. At James Gelter suggested, post no bills too. And that's movies that Bill Murray is not in, but one of his brothers is. That aren't necessarily sequels. So it's not something he originally was in.
Starting point is 00:26:11 No. But it's just a movie that one of his brothers is in. More stuff that he's not in, but his brothers are in it. The floor is closed to questions. Is that it? Those are the categories? Was that a question? I believe it was. Yes, those are the categories.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Ireland, no Bill Murray sequels, or no Bill Murray's family movies? I'll go the Murray family, I think. Alright. Would you like a movie with one of Bill's brothers from 1986
Starting point is 00:26:43 or 2012? I'm gonna go 86. I'm sorry, 2000... No, I'm kidding. Two stars from Leonard. 1986. He says this movie is a follow-up.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I don't know if that's true. To another movie or just to something? Yeah. Terrible clue. Has no story, this movie. No real characterizations to hang on to when you need to grip a characterization that feels real. And he lists eight names.
Starting point is 00:27:30 How many names can you get in Tony T? And then we will go to Scott Ackerman. Because he won last week. You are always figuring out the rules as this show goes. It's so crazy. I'm going to get this down. That's like my goal for the 10-year anniversary. To be really good at hosting this fucking game.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I think I'll go six names. Okay. Scott. Scott. 1986. It's a follow-up. A follow-up. I'm going to say name that movie.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Ooh. All right. I think Tony could do this. Who cares? I'm not even going to. I'm not even going to. That's my favorite fucking thing that Constantine says a couple of times in Muppets Most Wanted. It was when people say things to him, he goes, who cares?
Starting point is 00:28:44 And it's super hilarious because it's like old fashioned. Keanu Reeves is in this movie? What? I get it. I get it. Okay. That's all I wanted. I love movies, Scott. You don't just like them. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Your six names are Joe Flaherty, William Hickey, Tom Villard, Bob, for some reason, no cat, Goldthwait. Maybe it's a different guy than the one I know. Curtis Armstrong. You know, Booger's going to be there when I interrupt Revenge of the Nerds on June 19th at the Trocadero in Philadelphia as part of Awesome Fest.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And Joel Murray, what's the name of the movie, Tony? Joel Murray's third build. It's a follow-up. Can I ask a question? No story. When you said you weren't sure about it being a follow-up, was that sarcasm?
Starting point is 00:29:43 It was more like it's an interesting expression to use for this because it could indeed be called a follow-up. That's sarcasm. It was more like, it's just an interesting expression to use for this, because it could indeed be called a follow-up, but I don't think of it as a sequel. Okay. Hmm. Jeff! I don't think I know this.
Starting point is 00:30:04 That's okay. Yeah. You know, Scott is good at making other people name it. I know this. That's okay. Yeah. You know, Scott is good at making other people name it. I know it. It's his skill. Jeff knows it. A lot of people in the audience know it. I know it because I'm looking right at it.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I selected it from other movies that have Marie in them. This is wrong, but it's just the only movie that's coming to mind from this era. So exciting if it's right. Yeah. I'm going to say Moving Violations. Ooh. Yeah, it's a very good guess under the circumstances, but Scott gets a point because this is called? One Crazy Summer.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Correct, Jeff Tate. Oh, I'm ashamed of myself. Jeff Tate gets 2.02. What's it a follow-up to? The same guy made Better Off Dead, right? It's right after Better Off Dead. Oh, okay. That's what he said. I was stuck in the sequel Dead. It's right after Better Off Dead. Oh, okay. That's why
Starting point is 00:30:45 I was stuck in the sequel thing. I was thinking Police Academy. I was thinking that. That's what's great about something like that. It's a terrible clue and it throws everybody off. And I like when people don't know it. Thanks. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:31:02 But good job. Because Moving Violations was indeed a movie that had one of the Murray brothers. Was it Joel, or was it... I'm not sure, but it would have been right around that same time. It was Joel. I think it's Joel. Was the 2012 one, the Bobcat-directed one, that Joel was in? You know what, Scott?
Starting point is 00:31:20 What? God Bless America? This category is still going to remain in play. Oh, my goodness. And so is that year. So I hope no one is listening when I say you're right. Ned Ryerson? Needle Nose Ned?
Starting point is 00:31:32 Oh shit. Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day. This fucking Groundhog Day. I didn't know where that was coming from. I kept thinking when I was watching Edge of Tomorrow, I kept thinking when I was watching Edge of Tomorrow
Starting point is 00:31:47 I kept thinking Ned Ryerson whenever the one big dumb fat guy would get killed and Tom Cruise doesn't stop it or whatever
Starting point is 00:31:53 but that movie's in the future I saw Edge of Tomorrow and it's set in the future so Groundhog Day would have already been out so at some point he should have been like
Starting point is 00:31:59 it's like fucking Groundhog Day I keep having to do the same thing again yeah or it's like that Jake Gyllenhaal movie. Code.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Source code. Brokeback. Source code. Yeah, it's like Brokeback. It's the same, got fucking the same guy every day in the same tent. Hey, that's marriage. Am I? Jeff gets to pick, then we go to Scott.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Doesn't seem fair. Doesn't seem fair. Doesn't seem fair at all. Doesn't even to Scott. Doesn't seem fair, doesn't seem fair, doesn't seem fair at all. Doesn't even seem right. Doesn't seem correct. Would you like Hannah Wakes the Bears? That's movies where a bear attacks a human. Bateman Rises, that's of course
Starting point is 00:32:37 the early films of Jason Bateman. Or Chevy Chase, movies with a chase scene featuring a Chevrolet. Which one would you like to play, Jeff? Oh my God. Or Chevy Chase, movies with a chase scene featuring a Chevrolet. What the... Which one would you like to play, Jeff? Oh, my God. I know none of those have anything to do with the actors from Cheers,
Starting point is 00:32:53 but we might get to that category eventually. It's a fun category. That's what I was hoping for. Yeah. I will take... Fucking... What's the middle one? Bateman Rises.
Starting point is 00:33:06 No, I'll take the car chase one. Early Bateman. Chevrolet. There's a car chase, there's a Chevy in this movie. It's so recent, 2012, that, you know, what's going on with the Leonard Maltin app? It's dead and there's no new stuff, and so this particular review, he doesn't give stars,
Starting point is 00:33:22 but I can still tell you some things he said about it. He's not updating it? No, it's done. Really? Yeah, he might start up again somewhere, but for now it's done, so the app still works, but there's no new material.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I can't believe he gave One Crazy Summer two stars, because it seemed like he hated it. Does this really seem like the time? No, probably not. Jeff, can we discuss this in the dressing room after the show over a little marijuana? Yeah He calls this movie from 2012 2012
Starting point is 00:33:58 that has a chase scene with a Chevrolet He calls this movie ridiculous He also calls it exciting He also calls movie ridiculous. He also calls it exciting. He also calls it funny. And he also calls it cheesy. This is when Leonard was off his meds. He was on a rollercoaster
Starting point is 00:34:16 of emotion watching this movie. An emotional Batman the ride. And he says at the very end, the film's escapist... Please kill me. The film's escapist... Please kill me. The film's escapist tone takes us away from reality as so many Hollywood movies do.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Thank goodness for that. Really got sentimental on this movie that has a car chase with a Chevrolet, and six names are listed, Jeff. How many is it going to take you to tie up the score with Scott?
Starting point is 00:34:53 Two. Two names? Sure. It's your decision, you know. Four. Is that your final answer? Yeah, I'll stay with four Okay, he says four What do you think of four, Tony?
Starting point is 00:35:14 I try to be impartial I think people read stuff in my tone Tony That really does go to me It goes to Scott How many, Scott? That really does go to me? It goes to Scott. How many, Scott? That's why I tell you ahead of time, so you can correct me when I do it wrong later.
Starting point is 00:35:40 So it's four names to me from this movie from 2012. I'm gonna say name that movie. Alright. Jeff gets a point because of what he's gonna say right after I say excuse me, Robert Duvall and David Oyelowo.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Jack Reacher. That's correct. Jeff fucking. Jack Reacher. That's correct. Jeff fucking loves Jack Reacher. He just... What was the next name? The next name was Werner Herzog. I wouldn't know.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Richard Jenkins. Rosamund Pike. Cruz. Very good. Tom Cruise, who's been lower than first build maybe twice in the last 30 years. But good job. You got a point, and so now it's just
Starting point is 00:36:31 up to Tony to try to get a three-way tie and force the Asparagus P category, which of course is my favorite. And Tony, you get to pick the category, and then we go to Scott. Would you like... Why am I always second? Because you always challenge
Starting point is 00:36:47 instead of playing. Oh, okay. Yeah. He says as if he knows what he's talking about. I do. That's how it works, right? Jordan? Okay. Yes, sir. Oh, my God. Sir, yes, sir! Drop. Drop to 20.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Bong hits. Yeah! Dog. drop drop do 20 bong hits yeah dog do some dog hits Tony would you like Scott Beowulf that's movies with
Starting point is 00:37:17 Scott Beowulf or both it's been a category for a while I can't ditch it because it always gets a laugh or Winds and Scrabble.
Starting point is 00:37:25 That's movies that start with the letter Q. Or, sorry, Jeff, and They're Always Glad You Came, movies with actors from Cheers. You know how Jeff feels about Cheers. That's just, you know. No, like, maybe I'm not, like, super into it. Maybe it's, like, a cool thing to pick.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Like, because maybe it's not my favorite thing. Yeah, am I supposed to be a man? Am I supposed to be... Oh, I don't care. I don't mind. It's not a big deal. Well, it is a big deal. And you want to know what the worst part is?
Starting point is 00:37:58 Do you want to know the worst part of all? I never learned to read. Wayne's World. It is fucking Wayne's World. By a hair. Is it cool if I just hang for a minute? Donnie just texted me. He's almost done with his application.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Where's he applying for a job for? Cafe 101. You know what they're... Pie Cutter. That's a whole gig over there? He's been there for an hour and a half. I'm going to get a beer. I'm not going to drink it.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Empty calories, bro. Just for looks. It's just for looks. All right. Tony, which one do you like? Much to Jeff's delight, I think I'll go the cheers route. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Okay, you're walking right into it here. All right. But at least Scott is in between you, and he'll probably just challenge you no matter what you say. The year is 1996. Two and a half stars from Leonard. He says about this movie that some of the characters are cretinous.
Starting point is 00:39:07 What? They're cretins. Cretins. Cretinous. He says this movie has bizarre goings on. He also says about this movie that John Lovitz, get this, appears unbilled. No way. John Lovitz said, I don't want my name on this one.
Starting point is 00:39:26 But Leonard gave it two and a half, and he lists eight names. How many can you get in? Eight names. Tony Thaxton of Feliz Navi Pod. Yes. Go in strong eight names. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Scott, what are you going to do with that? I will go seven names yeah finally six finally makes a bid Tony five name them here we go
Starting point is 00:39:58 oh shit alright here's your five names buddy and thanks for being on the show again. I really appreciate it. What the fuck is his name? It's like Miami, but with a K. Kiami? DeVille?
Starting point is 00:40:19 D-A-V-A-E-L? I'll look at it. Yeah, take a peek at it. There you go, look at it. Yeah, take a peek at it. There you go. Look at it. And then Tracy Walter, Paul Rubens, Mara Wilson, Pam Ferris, and M. Beth Davids. From 96?
Starting point is 00:40:40 Yes, and this is not Schindler's List. Well, M. Beth Davids was probably about third building that. Something's going on with Mark Wahlberg. He just came out to talk to the guy he thought was tan. I hope he does some more off-mic antics. They really add to the podcast.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Mark, don't forget your mic the next time you come out. I'm just wanting the room, giving high fives. Donnie, come get him! Anyway, M. Beth Davids was in Sinclair's List. It was my little joke there.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And then there was two people probably billed above her in that film. But anyway, what do you think it is, Tony? 96. A Bug's Life? John Ratzenberger's in all those movies. That's all I got. Oh, alright. Alright, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Where are you at on this one, Jeff? This is your category. Do you have an idea? It's one of two. I can't get them all. What does Scott think it is? Is it blow? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Was that one of the two, Jeff? No, no. It's either Matilda or Harriet the Spy. I can't remember. If you had to pick one, though. Matilda. That's correct. And Scott is our winner.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Oh, days do do nothing. Once again, can you come back next week? You don't have to commit to it right now. It kind of leaves it up
Starting point is 00:42:13 for surprise. I will try. He's going to try you guys. He's going to check his phone. And Tony Thaxton, anything else to plug? At Tony Thaxton on Twitter,
Starting point is 00:42:22 I currently play in a band called The Pride of Eerie PA. That's right. And that's a reference from... That thing you do. That's correct, Jeff. You get another point.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Jeff is tied with Scott. We have to go to the time breaker. Uh-oh. Here we go. Asparagus Pete. And we're actually playing this coming Wednesday, the 18th at Los Globos. Or next Wednesday, I guess I should say.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Oh, shit. What's that? The 25th? The 18th. Oh. Oh, so we're in guess I should say. Oh shit, what's that? The 25th? The 18th. Week from tomorrow. Can you remind me about that? I'd love to come see that. Mike Furman's in that band. Actually.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Breaking news. Apparently Mike can't keep up with our vigorous three shows a year schedule. He's a bigger road pussy than you are. Is Steve Zahn in the band? Because he was great in that movie. Oh, I don't think
Starting point is 00:43:10 Steve Zahn is in, but I'll ask for you. Is Steve Zahn in the band? No. Oh, shit. But I still want to come check you guys out. Scott. News. Comedy Bang Bang, Ongoing, IFC, Friday nights. Thursday. Exactly. 10. News. Comedy Bang Bang, ongoing, IFC, Friday nights.

Oh, but the season two DVD is coming out in a couple of weeks, or even less than a couple of weeks. Five and a half hours of bonus video that we put together. Tell us more about it next week.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Yes. Jeff. Well. we put together. Tell us more about it next week. Yes. Jeff. Well. I have a, I just started a podcast where I talk about cheers.
Starting point is 00:43:51 No, you didn't. What's it called? Afternoon, everybody. iTunes has to approve the first one. Apparently they're real strict about what they let on as a podcast. And it takes a little while for them to be like, this will do. So once that happens, then it'll be on the internet
Starting point is 00:44:12 and you guys can listen and find out at my Twitter, at JeffTate96. And come see me in Cincinnati, July 10-13, at Go Bananas. Can I share a very, very quick Cheers-related story? Is it less than a negative two minutes? Yes. Couldn't possibly be, but go.
Starting point is 00:44:32 I just, because I think he'll appreciate this. Yeah. A couple years ago, I was taking a flight out of Chicago. I go to the bookstore near my gate. There's a sign saying, George Witt is doing a signing at the airport bookstore.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Pass security. So you needed a ticket to get to the signing. Really happened. And I waited for him, took my picture with him, got the book signed and everything. I just love that it was past security. Wait, by the way, also, not to cut you off, but guess what he wrote. Take a guess.
Starting point is 00:45:01 In your book? Norm! Exclamation point. Norm. You're close? Norm! Exclamation point. Norm. You're close. Cheers! Exclamation point. Cheers! Yeah, I should have guessed cheers. The show didn't have an exclamation point.
Starting point is 00:45:11 God damn it, that's obvious. He took it up a notch. I saw a play he was in once, and I went with the cast. It was like Ed O'Neill and all these great actors. I went to a bar with them. He walked into the bar. Everyone yelled, Norm. He sat down at the chair that he. He walked into the bar. Everyone yelled Norm. He sat down at the chair that he always sits at at the bar.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Someone slid a beer over to him, and he never paid for it. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. Yeah, yeah. He's like a real hero of mine. He's great. He was awesome. He was a nice dude. Great story if it doesn't go on. What? he's great he was awesome he was a nice dude great
