Starting point is 00:04:09 Then that one, that complicated, weird, Rube Goldberg nonsense. Everybody nailed it. Good job. From the Corrections Department. It's crazy, stupid love, not crazy, sexy love. Yeah, sneaky Joe DeRosa slipped that one past me. So I'm shaking my fist at Joe DeRosa. Are you ready to meet our guests? They've been sitting amongst us this entire time. This is like a horror movie
Starting point is 00:04:49 or a zombie movie or something. Anyway, with no more ado, let's get them out here. Please welcome Amy Miller! Yeah, aye! Yay! Yeah! There's one stool behind all the chairs so you can put your drink on if you ever have that kind of a moment where you wanna set a drink down. That's awesome. Amy's got a nice little wine going.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Sam, what are you drinking? I'm drinking vodka in a water bottle. Interesting choice, but Sam is a bit of a scientist and he likes that moment where the vodka finally seeps through the bottle. I know it's very exciting when that happens. It's a reminder of what it's doing to the inside of your body. Let's meet everybody individually, alphabetically, by first name. Sorry, Sam. Joining us first.
Starting point is 00:05:55 He's forgotten all the names. Can't wait to find out who this is. I just gotta get these credits right, because they're so, you know, that's what you're here for, is to tell people about what you're up to. She's the star of the upcoming feature film we're also the Millers it's Amy Miller! I can't wait I'm replacing Jennifer Anniston. That's right Sam right? Yeah that's right to me. Yeah Sam knows all the answers. Happy New Year, Amy. Happy New Year to you, Doug. Did you have a good St.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Patrick's Day? Oh sure, yeah. I'm only asking that because there's a... Yeah, I'm very much top of the afternoon. That's why I asked, because we do have a member of Dropkick Murphy's on the panel. Let's see, what else I want to ask you, Amy. Have you seen the Zone of Interest? Because I can't. Nope, and I can't either. I'm waiting for someone else, and I thought it was going to be you that would tell me about it. No, people have told me about it, and I just don't want to deal with it. You've got to change the theme song. There is one he won't see. It's called Zone of Interest.
Starting point is 00:07:02 With every year, there's more movies I won't see. Because guess what? There's more movies. Like, I didn't have time for all these movies, these limited series, these series, these reality. Like, there's too many things I'd like to watch. I feel like a sports person. You know what I mean? Like, sports people must be constantly overwhelmed by how much sports there is.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It's true. And now I feel like movies have become that, where like, there's so much movies. And movies about sports. There's a lot of them. It's true. And now I feel like movies have become that, where like there's so much movies. And movies about sports, there's a lot of those. Oh my god. Don't even get me started on that. He is the host of the podcast, Fit's a Wonderful Life.
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's Greg Fitzsimmons, everybody. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you all. Thanks for being here. Happy New Year, Greg. It's St. Thank you all. Thanks for being here. Happy New Year, Greg. It's St. Patrick's Day.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Post St. Patrick's Day. Let's not get crazy. You had your annual show here at the Improv in the room next door, the main room on St. Patrick's Day. How was that? It was fun. We had Irish soda bread contest. Me and my friend, Laureen, fight about who has a better one.
Starting point is 00:08:08 So we each baked three Irish soda breads, and we cut them up, and we handed them out to the crowd, and voted. And I lost $100. Yours is the worst? Mine was the worst. Oh, no. That's not a nice way to say it.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It was the second best. Out of two, yeah. It was only out of two. That's the worst. I'm Irish. I don't know the nice way to say it. It was the second best. Out of two, yeah. It was only out of two. Yeah, that's the worst. I'm Irish. I don't know the nice way to say things, Greg. That's the way an Irish person looks at life. It was the worst. Hey, listen, you came in second place and last place.
Starting point is 00:08:36 It's just however you wanna look at it. First failure. Yeah, you were the first most failed. Cause yours really could have been absolute garbage and lost to the one that wasn't so bad. That's right. Who knows? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:49 But congratulations on the last one. All right. Well, thank you. It was a fun show. Just even being in the competition. Yeah. Just being asked. Just being asked.
Starting point is 00:08:57 To make a soda bread for Irish Day. Yeah. Irish Day. That's what we call them now. St. Patrick's Day. National Irish Day. But anyway, so that's the plan? Is you're going to do a show here on St. Patrick's Day every year for the rest of time? That was the 16th year in a row.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Wow. Except for the pandemic. That's impressive because Douglas Movies is celebrating this year. It's 18th year. So both of you. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So I'm the worst long running podcast. is celebrating this year, it's 18th year, so both of you. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:09:26 So I'm the worst long running podcast? You do come in second all the time. That seems to be your lot in life, Greg, is to be number two. You're not the piss, you're the shit. My question for you though, along the lines of the question I asked Amy is have you seen Killers of the Flower Moon?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Because I can't. I just can't. I honestly thought it was a masterpiece. I loved it. All three and a half hours of genocide? I mean, we kind of knew, you kind of knew going in the plot a little bit. So you're saying you knew it was going to be fun. You just didn't know how fun.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Well, I mean, Schindler's List, they didn't exactly uplift your spirits. But you had a good time. Right, this one. You had a good time. This one, they shot it in color so you could at least enjoy the visuals. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Schindler's List, you're just like, this is a very black and white situation. But anyway, I'm not here to joke about these things. I really am, I've become too sensitive to this kind of filmmaking, where the whole point is to feel terrible. How can you watch it and find any joy in it? He's Irish.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah, I'm Irish. Loving a genocide movie is. Did you see Banshe of Anishirin? I mean, that was our movie last year. Well, that was a faker genocide. Yes. And no one in the audience cares for that reference. But before we play our games today,
Starting point is 00:10:57 or before we do anything today, we need to meet our third guest. He's currently shooting a shot- shot remake of I Am Sam called I Am Also Sam. It's Sam Levine everybody! Oh, Doug, I was saving that for my plugs. I can't wait to see you running down the hallway with a cake. Happy New Year, Sam. Thank you so much, Doug. We've only seen each other a handful of times since January 1st, so it's nice to hear you say it.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It can't be said enough. I'm gonna say it until December 31. Have you? My birthday. Have you seen Society of the Snow? Because I just can't. I have, and have you seen, well, no, it's better than Alive.
Starting point is 00:11:40 But I'm sure you've seen Alive. I've seen Alive, and I did not like watching the people crash. I didn't like watching the people be cold. I didn't like the people eat each other. Although the being cold part did help the eating part, because it was more like they were just having a icicle. Yeah, it's like jerky. Some sort of popsicle that's a person.
Starting point is 00:11:59 But Society of the Snow feels like it's very intense. It is very intense. And I don't know if you know this, all subtitles. Well that I don't mind so much because I'd like to read rather than watching the people eat each other. What I thought was strange though is in the subtitles, it's a lot of just M's, mmm. Oh, it's a real num num num.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Chomping noises, I thought that was a bit out of touch. Could you imagine imagine having to survive you eating a fellow passenger, a fellow person from your team and making nom nom, like making yummy sounds. Every time I board an airplane, I think, if we crash, which of these people am I gonna eat first? Who's gonna taste the best?
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah. Go right back to coach if you want some, you know, real juicy meat. Do you think back to coach? Where are you? Get out of here. I'm flying in row 32B. That was just, you know, I'm trying to build you up. Will you help in an emergency? I will help in an emergency.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I tell them I will, but there's no way. No, I'm gonna panic like everyone else. No, I'm gonna just put my seat back and close my eyes and let it happen. Be a man. Yep. Just going back to the eating people, I think if you think about it, eating people in first class would be more delicious because they're like veal.
Starting point is 00:13:16 They don't really work. Oh yeah. Their bodies are soft. Yeah, they haven't. That's a lot of synthetic materials. Right. With any luck at all, they haven't been stressed. Right. With any luck at all, they haven't been stressed.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Right? You know, I'd go, you know, I don't know. I'd go for the ones that don't seem like they're in finance cause they're always probably pretty nervous. I'm just saying you're gonna hit a cheek and it's gonna be all fucking chemicals in there. It's not as tasty as these guys back in Coach, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Above the neck Amy, we're not animals. Yeah. Yeah, in the back they're like free. Cheeks are very tasty. They're like free range passengers. We're cage free back there. This is like a show that you do for like an audience. Like if they're like a bunch of people would be there,
Starting point is 00:13:59 but instead we have the best people. Aw. Yeah, it's true. It is. Let me ask everybody this. I like to get recommendations before we play games tonight of movies, could be new, could be old, preferably something people could find on streaming
Starting point is 00:14:21 or in theaters now, but it doesn't have to be. But let's start with you, Amy. Could you recommend a movie? I'm going first. You knew you were gonna have to do this, though. I know, I'm an idiot. I'm looking mine up, don't think I'm ignoring you. Okay, you're just gonna check in,
Starting point is 00:14:37 see if the kids are okay. I loved Anatomy of a Fall. As you know, I like movies that are mostly talking. I just want talking. I don't want eating of people, crashes, driving, bombs, anything loud. Just people talking. Everybody loves that dog from that movie,
Starting point is 00:14:54 the dog, Messy. Yeah, Messy's so cute. Yeah, is he cute in the movie? Yes. You haven't seen that one either? No, I haven't seen it, but I do wanna see that one, because I don't think it'll necessarily make me feel better. Well, just one guy dies, so it's not like a full genocide.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And it's right there in the title that he fell. Yeah. Yeah, he sure did. Yeah. And then how? We don't know. Right? It's right there. They warn you about the fall in the title. Zone of Interest is basically, go, oh, that sounds like an area I'm curious about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Right? You don't know what is going on there in that zone of interest. Turns out I should have zero interest. Also, the kid is amazing. You'll love the kid. He's truly an incredible actor. OK. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:15:37 All right, so that's who you're going with? You're recommending Anatomy of a Fall. Yeah, because I wasn't prepared. On the other last movie I saw, I didn't think was good. It won two Oscars, I believe. Did you see it, Sam? I did. I saw every film nominated for an award this year,
Starting point is 00:15:52 except for the shorts or the documentaries. More like Sam loves movies. You know what I mean? All right. That's not every film, then, if you skip those. But still, pretty impressive. It's still very impressive. I completely failed this year because I suddenly
Starting point is 00:16:06 turned this corner and were like, oh, I'd love to watch everything nominated for an Oscar, but guess what, they're the most depressing movies being made. Like, except for Barbay, there's not very many movies. I saw the French version, but there's not many movies that, you know, you get my point. I got your point.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Cause I don't know what it was. Greg, what'd you find on your phone? Well, the movie is called, I was down in Florida visiting my mother. Oh, they have the best movies down there. It's like another country because they have movies that you go like, I didn't see this one advertised. And it's a kind of movie based on the last 12 minutes
Starting point is 00:16:49 of this podcast and you have lost both testicles. This might be the kind of movie you could handle. It's a soft, tear-jerker movie, not too depressing. Ordinary Angels, have you heard of that? I think so. I don't think you so. I don't think you have. I mean it sounds so plain, so regular. It was like a Hallmark movie. Like one? Well I don't know who produced it but. Who in it? Who's
Starting point is 00:17:19 in it? Hilary Swank. Who in it? Who in it? Who Jackie Duck? He's trying out some new stuff. I have seen this movie. She's like a suffragette or something? No. She's like a lady who looks like Hillary Swank? Yeah. Ha ha ha. What is the best John Edward impression of everything?
Starting point is 00:17:40 Was she an angel about? Is she a doctor helping with people in wartime? It's peacetime and she's not a doctor. Why is she an angel? She's an angel because there's a little girl who needs a kidney transplant. Who's seven. And we're pulling for her. And she gets Hillary's giant kidney? She needs an adult kidney? She just need a, usually you need two kidneys.
Starting point is 00:18:06 They used one Hillary Swain kidney for both. And so at the, and there's this woman sitting next to me who's like an old Florida lady who just keeps like correcting like, that couldn't happen. And so like finally the movie is like, it gets to the point where of course it's not gonna happen. Then like she needs a kidney and on Christmas night it's snowing. And they get the call but the kidneys in Omaha and they're in like Milwaukee.
Starting point is 00:18:33 And so the local news says we need a helicopter and a plane. And within 10 minutes a guy in a helicopter brings her to the runway. But then like a hundred people from the town bring shovels to open up the runway, takes off, she gets to Omaha, gets the kidney, wakes up the next morning in the hospital room and everybody's surrounding her, lights coming through the window, everybody's crying, there's balloons in the corner, and the lady goes,
Starting point is 00:18:58 it's a snowstorm. Where are you gonna get balloons? In the hospital gift shop. I wish you were there. Wait, this was in the theaters? Yeah. Oh, I had no idea. A lot of theaters are different.
Starting point is 00:19:17 All right. So Sam, do you have a movie you'd like to ruin? I do. Why not ruin? Do you have one you can describe up to the very end? The very end? Could you tell us the whole plot of a movie so that we don't have to bother with it?
Starting point is 00:19:33 Wait a second, did you like Ordinary Angels? Loved it. Well, because I was in Florida. In any other state, I would have hated it. I love watching movies with my mom. I don't know, and for some reason, moms are very good at being like, here's a vehicle with seven major stars in it
Starting point is 00:19:49 you've never heard of in your life. It's Sean Connery and Bette Midler. You're like, what? She goes, I've seen it 30 times. I'm like, all right. Right. And then it's pretty fun. That's made up.
Starting point is 00:20:00 You made that up. Did I? Yeah. There's no such thing as a Sean Connery and Bette Midler movie, but. How did they as a Sean Connery, Bette Mither movie. How do they find out? Beaches 2, Back to the Beaches. Facebook.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah. Yeah. Beaches 3, Highlander. So Sam, you've thought about it? I have. You've waited. I got a crowd pleaser. Oh. If of these three. You I got a crowd pleaser. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:25 If of these three. You have a bigger crowd pleaser than ordinary people or whatever Amy said? Ordinary angel people. Ordinary angel people. This is a film. You'll like anyone listening, given the three choices. This is the one they want.
Starting point is 00:20:40 You always have to win. It's Penguins of Madagascar. Whoa! I just... It hits me on a level. Can I... Let me interrupt for just a second, because this is a crazy coincidence. I just recently was on a cruise ship that like,
Starting point is 00:20:59 in your room they show movies, but like it's, you know, tends to be the same movies over and over again the whole time. And I ended up watching, They show movies, but it tends to be the same movies over and over again the whole time. And I ended up watching, after not having seen it for a long time, March of the Penguins. We talked about it on a previous show. We did. It's funny that I actually saw it.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And it's depressing as fuck. Yes. It's really sad. Their whole situation is terrible. It's really sad. It's really, their whole situation is terrible. Dude. It's all awful and... And it makes you feel kind of lazy about your own life. Oh, absolutely. It's like, yeah, I won't go to the store to get milk or eggs,
Starting point is 00:21:37 but these fucking penguins, for their mates, they go through a lot. A lot. They go through a lot. And then just this, but the part that really disturbed me the most is when one of the penguins loses a baby, because they're trying to keep these babies warm in freezing temperatures.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Because they just have to stay there and try to keep the babies warm. And when a mother loses a baby, its reaction is, oh, I'll just try to steal someone else's baby. That's how they react to mourning. And everybody fights them off. They don't succeed at it. But it's still housewives of wherever,
Starting point is 00:22:17 housewives of Antarctica, embarrassing that they behave that way. Because penguins are so cute. You don't expect them to do something so fucked up. And at what age do you tell your child that you were stolen from another penguin? When they try to start their own company you say you're just a bastard in a basket you're not even my son. Yeah what if an explorer and their baby came through during this period of time? Would the penguin just steal any baby or does it have to be a penguin baby?
Starting point is 00:22:52 Can you imagine living such a hard life only in formal wear? Right that's the other thing. They're so dressed up with nowhere to go. No one asks them who they're wearing. Nobody cares. It's terrible. So Sam, Penguins of Madagascar, you're famously bad at trivia involving animation
Starting point is 00:23:19 on the show because you don't like children's films per se. So why does, not only, not only have you seen Pegasus in Madagascar, but you're recommending it. Well, you seemed like you'd, after the first two recommendations, you wanted something a little lighter, you know, coming off of Oscar season,
Starting point is 00:23:37 all these films that you're worried will upset you, so. Yeah, I was kind of thinking, how about something that's entirely frivolous? Yeah. Not aimed at me whatsoever. and probably hard to get through? Oh, wait, Penguins in Madagascar? No, it's very easy to get through. It's a quick watch.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And there's great talent in it, John Malkovich, Cumberbatch. Is Kevin Pollack your good friend, one of the Penguin voices? He's not. Because don't they all sound like they're doing Kevin Pollack in person? Probably. You know what I mean? The way they're all kind of clipped and talking like
Starting point is 00:24:08 they're from the 20s. Hey, what's going on? Or Mark Norman, that's what they sound like. Oh yeah. Anyway, Bernard Herzog is also in the movie. I am a very depressed penguin. Yes. I am.
Starting point is 00:24:23 But yes. Marching in the blizzard. I would say watch the film and wait for the. To protect my baby. Her nerd song, cameo. This tuxedo is so uncomfortable. My balls. The cummerbund alone is killing the penguin.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Cummerbatch, help me with the cummerbund. Cummerbatch was so close, why is there a name batch in my name? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. The Penguin. Cumberbatch, help me with the Cumberbund. Cumberbatch was so close, why is there a name Batch and not Bund? That's a question to ask the whole family. Alright, well thank you for those amazing recommendations. I count on no one taking you up on any of them. Although, you know, Anatomy of Fall did just win some Oscars. But we're gonna be back with some games right after these messages.
Starting point is 00:25:15 We're back! During the break we selected who our guests are gonna play for today. So Sam was playing for Jason and Silent Bob Strike Back and Amy's playing for Jesse and the Pussycats and Greg is playing for Finding Neema. Yeah. Good job, everybody. Our first game tonight is the IMDB game. And, oh, I forgot to raise my hands. Yeah, our first game tonight is IMDB game. Woo!
Starting point is 00:25:59 And here's how that works, is that I am going to start naming the top four movies listed on a person's, every actor has an IMDB page where at the top it says best known for, and it lists four titles. So I'm going to start listing off those titles for a particular actor or actress, but you know the word actor is supposed to cover both and just shout out whenever you think you know who it is your name as your buzzer so Sam, Greg or Amy.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Thanks for reviewing our names. You say Greg. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. And also you don't want to say you don't want to say Fitzsimmons or even Fitzdogg because Greg is quicker. What if I think Sam knows it? Do I get the points if I call his name and he gets it right? Well that's a fun strategy.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I've never implemented that strategy but that would be super fun if you could just yell somebody else's name and force them to guess. But that is not the case here. My duck. It is a fun, okay, I know the answer. It turns out, turns out I have it written right here. But no, you just buzz in with your own name just to get my attention.
Starting point is 00:27:14 You could just make a noise. The idea is just whoever buzzes in first, you can guess, and you can guess at any point, but the trouble is, if you guess incorrectly, it's a negative point. So you don't wanna get in too soon. Like, as, you know, the first movie I mentioned, there's lots of people in that movie, but you may think of who you think it is.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Sure. And also a theme will emerge. Now, Doug, if I'm not mistaken, if after seeing the second title, somebody rings in with the correct answer, are they not allowed to earn bonus points by naming the unnamed films in the top four? That's correct, Sam. That's why you want to get in early. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Because you will get a point for each additional movie you can name that would be in that person's top four, which is still hard to do, but it is worth some extra points as Sam is clearly anxious to get. Just wanna make sure everyone on stage knew the rules. He wants to get his hands on those points. Don't talk to us like we're babies, Sam. It was so smooth the way you did it. Stop Sam-splaining.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It was so smooth the way you did it though, like we were two SEAL trainers at SeaWorld and we're in the same show. Now, Doug, don't forget to remind everybody about how you can't just feed anything to a... Oh, like we're in the movie Free Jesse. Now that is a call back to the commercial break. They didn't hear that.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Which is why you want to see the show in person. You really miss out on things that happen during the commercial. Because Amy will tell you, the commercial breaks on Family Feud are really a treat. Did I say treat? No, you didn't. All right, so I think you're the only person I've ever met
Starting point is 00:29:03 who's been to a Family Feud taping. We gotta go. So I'm always excited about the tea use build regarding those tapings. Only seven hours long. Only seven hours you guys if you want to see a half hour of people giving dumb guesses to dumb questions. If you want to see Family Feud coming to my family's house next St. Patrick's Day. See there you go. Is that why you do's house next St. Patrick's Day. See, there you go.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Is that why you do a show on St. Patrick's? Yep, get out of the house. Get out of the house? Yep. It's the Greg Fitzsimmons Get Out of the House show? I like it. Is that pretty much why you do stand-up at all anymore? LAX is my, that's my happy place.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Oh no. Oh my god. Wow. Greg, if you need someone to Oh no! Oh my god. Greg, if you need someone to talk to. Oh my god, yeah. That is really something. Alright. Wow, for this first one I didn't even write down
Starting point is 00:29:56 what the answer is, so I hope I got it right now. Just in my recollection. Alright, so you buzz in with your own name when you think you know. And here we go. Here is the first title that this person is perhaps,
Starting point is 00:30:13 according to the algorithm, best known for. The Princess and the Frog. Yeah, this is tough. The second title would probably be helpful. The second title is, They Live. Rowdy Rowdy Piper. Buzz in with your own name. Amy! That is my name.
Starting point is 00:30:41 That's my nickname. Your name is Rowdy Amy. Rowdy Amy Miller buzzes in with the guess. Same guess? No, actually can I change it? You want to change it? Keith David. Wow, that is interesting. I've never seen it happen on Jeopardy where someone guesses wrong, but forgets to phrase it as a question so they get get a guess again, and then they get it right.
Starting point is 00:31:05 That's essentially what happened here, because Keith David is the correct answer. Wow, nice. Thank you so much. That is some sneaky, sneaky business, what you just pulled, Amy, and I love it. Thank you. Thank you for your help.
Starting point is 00:31:20 You're on the board with one point now. Where do you go from there? Two more movies with Keith David in them. Well, he's only in 700 movies, so how could I think of a couple more? I went to a premiere one time and Pete next to him... In the lobby? No, I mean, I was in my seat, but... He was sitting next to me.
Starting point is 00:31:49 What do you got, Amy? Anything? Can you think of any other movies that that tremendous actor... Now I'm totally frozen. This is what happens. Frozen. You did the most important part. Probably. Yeah, you might be. I don't think so, though. But that is... When you hear what one of the answers is,
Starting point is 00:32:07 it's pretty funny that he said frozen. But you good? I mean, I feel really dumb, but yeah. Wait, yeah. He's a character actor, so it's hard to remember exactly what he's been in. The fact that you named him at all is impressive. This is a disgrace.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Because he's the villain in Princess and the Frog, and then he's the kick-ass buddy of Roddy Roddy Piper in They Live. And then he was in John Carpenter's The Thing, where they were quite frozen in that movie. And then I'm sure it was also cold in space when he was in Armageddon. Armageddon.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So many people popsicles in these films. So you got one, Amy. You're on the board. Woo! And now it's time. Yes. Thank you so much. Now it's time for our next round, the first film.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And don't forget, this next person has something in common with Keith David. And the second movie, the second one starts with The Green Mile. And then... Alright, alright, I'll take a chance. Sam. Sam's gonna go for it. Michael Clarke Duncan.
Starting point is 00:33:21 That is correct! Oh, MCD, the late grade MCD RIP. What do you got for additional? You can get three more points, Sam. You can name three more. Definitely Armageddon is up there. Okay, if you say so. What else? I'm gonna say The Whole Nine Yards. Uh-huh, and? Night at the Roxbury. Sam Levine. Big money maker, that movie. Sam Levine, two out of three, nicely done. Number two was Sin City.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You didn't nail that one, but you got Armageddon and The Whole Nine Yards. Sam has three points. But that's not a, it's not unsurpassable, that particular lead. Anybody has a chance? Here's the third round, Greg. Why'd you say anybody has a chance?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Look at the heat this morning. Just a quick check-in, like, hey, you should play. I know. Like, you should give us a try, see what happens. I haven't even seen any of the movies you guys have named so far. Well, they're the only movies that happened in our lifetimes, but I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Is this the soda bread all over again for you? Yeah, it is. This is like, he's the raisin. Raisin-detre? Round three begins with what? Armageddon. Sam's not gonna take the bait. He's not silly.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Amy? Bruce Willis. Brows in with your name. Amy. What do you think it is, Amy? Do you wanna change it now? No I don't. You're sticking with Bruce Willis?
Starting point is 00:35:11 Yeah. Incorrect. Am I on theme? Huh? Is there a theme? Yeah there is. Okay. The second film in this person's best known for is The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King.
Starting point is 00:35:27 One of the longest titles to ever win. Oh, Sam. Best picture, Sam. Liv Tyler. That is correct, it is Liv Tyler. Yes. Oh, yeah. Now, do you dare, can you name two more Liv Tyler films,
Starting point is 00:35:44 Sam, to really cement your lead in this game? The Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring, and the Lord of the Rings, the Two Towers. You know, that kind of insouciance. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yeah. One of those was right. Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring did make the cut. But then for the fourth one they went for that creepy ass mask movie, The Strangers. It's hard to see that movie and forget about it or Liv Tyler. So Sam has 17 points. Wait, is Bruce Willis in Armageddon? He is, yes.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Oh, okay. That's a good guess then. No, it's not a bad guess at all. All right. Somebody can still catch up to Sam at this point. It's doable. The first film, Greg, is a film called Fargo.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Fargo, so far we have Liv Tyler, Michael Clarke Duncan, Keith David. Fargo starts off this next one. Sam's going for it. Who is it, Sam? Peter Stormare. That is correct! It is Peter Stormare.
Starting point is 00:37:05 How many more Stormares can you name, Sam? Well he's an Armageddon, that's for sure. He is in that, but we'll see if that's one of the best known four. He's a great character actor. The Big Lebowski. And? You know, he's in a Chris Rock movie called Bad Company. I just want to give that movie some attention.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Give it some attention that it deserves. You got one right. That's Armageddon. Yeah, and then he was also in The Brothers Grimm and Constantine. Those were my next two guesses. Yeah, as they should be and just for fun the tiebreaker in this game was gonna start with Argo. Sam. Yeah. Ben Affleck?
Starting point is 00:37:54 That is correct. Okay. Rubbing it in. Alright Sam. Alright. Yeah. They are all in Armageddon. Now I know. Do you know what I thought the theme was? That they're all in Armageddon. I did Schubert's notes. Now I know. Do you know what I thought the theme was? That they're all in Armageddon and they all have first names for both names. Keith David, Michael Clarke Duncan, Liv Tyler, Bruce Willis. Whoa, that is amazing. Am I wrong? She should get a point for that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:22 A couple of horrible first names in there, but nonetheless. I mean, I want to name my... If I did have a kid I'd name it Stormare for sure. My old roommate Affleck has some words. That's when I knew what I was talking about. Is he still in the insurance game? He's never getting out of it. He's stuck.
Starting point is 00:38:42 What you talk about Willis? I feel a little bit like, you know that nightmare where you come to class and you forgot to study in Russian for the last semester? The show's all in Russian now. That's why there's not too many people here. This will drive you even crazier. It was a 50-50. Steve Buscemi's also in both movies.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Oh. I almost said Steve Buscemi. But Buscemi's not a very cool first name to have as a last name. It will be if I ever have a child. It was a trap to get somebody to say Buscemi as someone who's a little bit better known for being in both Fargo and Armageddon but yeah good job Sam and of course whoever wins the
Starting point is 00:39:33 first game does really doesn't really matter that much they just get to go first in our next game and then we'll flip the order, well we didn't have an order going, so we're gonna have one now. We're gonna go Sam, then Greg, and then Amy in a game that I call Right Versus Wrong. Woo! Woo!
Starting point is 00:39:59 Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Do you have a guess what this game is, Sam? I have no idea, Doug. Right? Is it wrong?
Starting point is 00:40:07 It's us versus you. We're pitting the worst contestants against the best contestants in a game that was inspired by a rather strange series of events. A few days ago, it was pointed out to me by Mr. Paul F. Tompkins, friend of the show, that Cracked.com had very recently cracked the story that when appearing on Douglas' movies, like, you know how Ayodeberry got in shit because she like
Starting point is 00:40:47 talked a lot of shit on a podcast about JLo and then you know JLo comes to host SNL and it's like oh this is awkward they made a whole thing out of it and they made up and it was fine. But like now there's this whole kind of thing where like if anybody does anything of merit it it seems like they dig up, try to dig up some sort of thing regarding them. So Jeffrey Wright gets nominated for an Oscar. And even days after- He looks horrified right now. Even days after he lost the Oscar.
Starting point is 00:41:18 I'm thinking about what they have against me if something is right. Exactly right. No, crack.com comes up with the story that on Douglas Moon movies in 2011, Paul F. Tompkins teased Jeffrey Wright on an episode of the show because the subject of this movie he was in,
Starting point is 00:41:35 Source Code, came up and Paul thought it was funny that that actor, who I even point out in the episode, I go, he's a good actor, But Paul goes, yes, but his bio says that he is quite possibly the most underrated and underappreciated actor of a generation. And it goes on like that. So he's like, well, this had to have been written by Jeffrey Wright himself.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Because it's so fucking pretentious. So then Jeffrey Wright jumps onto Twitter three years later. The headline on crack says, this is the weirdest celebrity feud that's ever happened online. It's barely, it barely happened. Because three years-
Starting point is 00:42:21 They're barely celebrities. Three years later, Jeffrey Wright is going, hey you douchebag critic pretending to be a douchebag hack. Which doesn't really make any sense at all. Talking about Paul? To which Paul responded, hi! So it only went one or two more back and forths and that's it. So that's the whole cracked article is just like there was a few exchanges that didn't
Starting point is 00:42:51 ever really amount to anything or make any sense. So I thought I would turn the weirdest celebrity feud ever because I feel like it's not even in the top 1000. But I'm going to turn it into a game. And that game, of course, is called Right Versus Wrong. So I will name a movie title. And then whoever's turn it is has to tell me if that movie features Jeffrey Wright, Academy
Starting point is 00:43:20 Award nominee Jeffrey Wright, or podcast Hall of Famer Paul F. Tompkins, or neither. Yeah, so it's a real guessing game, because I didn't pick American fiction as a movie. And you don't buzz in with your name this time. You can put your buzzer away. All right. You don't have to use it again this time. You can put your buzzer away. All right. You don't have to use it again.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I brought this buzzer from home. But at some point, Jeffrey Wright thought your guests were movie critics? No, I don't know what he thought that Paul, you know, he looked at Paul's cupcakes. That's the funniest part for me. Because he thought that Paul was being a critic by criticizing his work in a film.
Starting point is 00:44:04 But then he also saw in his bio that he was a comic, so I think that's why the word hack came out, because he's really like that. Because that's the first thing somebody who's not in comedy calls a comedian to put them in their place. You hack. He didn't even mention the outfits. They're right there.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Well, I mean, if we're getting into the outfits, they both are fancy dressers. That's true. A couple of penguins, if you know what I mean. They both look getting into the outfits, they both are fancy dressers. Yeah, true, yeah. There's still a couple of penguins, if you know what I mean. They both look pretty good, most of the time. All right, anyway. So you got how it works, Amy?
Starting point is 00:44:33 When it gets to you, it's either right, or top kids, or neither. And like I said, we'll start with Sam. So Greg, if Sam doesn't get it, you'll have two options to choose from. If you miss, Amy'll figure it out. Okay, great. She'll figure it out for sure.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I'll use my arsenal of knowledge about those two actors. Yeah. As a film critic. Those actors. I already love that you've elevated Paul of Tompkins as an actor alongside. He is, he's a good actor. All right, so,
Starting point is 00:45:07 here's the first one, Sam. Yep. Tompkins, Wright, or neither. A motion picture called The Giraffe. So glad I won the last game. Yeah, going first. Not an advantage. Nope. The giraffe. Mm-hmm. I appreciate you repeating it back like a spelling bee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Can you use it in a sentence? I sure can. Thank you. The giraffe is a movie that maybe one of those people is in. Ah. Perfect. I will say Jeffrey Wright. You didn't say Sam before you answered.
Starting point is 00:45:45 He doesn't have to anymore. Greg. What is your answer, Greg? I'm kidding. Look, I got confused. The Giraffe is indeed a movie that features Jeffrey Wright from 1998. I did a senior thesis on that film. Sam's on the board. First to three points wins. Greg, you're up first. Are you ready? Yeah. I think I'm up second. Oh. The film is called
Starting point is 00:46:32 Crime and Punishment. Both. They're both. That's not an option. That's where the feud started, oddly. Craft services table. Paul was having too much cheese again. Maybe it was wardrobe. They were both fighting over who got the...
Starting point is 00:46:54 That's my velvet bow tie. Okay so since you can't say both, let's go ahead and pick from the three options that are available. I'm gonna say Paul F. Tompkins. You like Paul F. Tompkins for a film called Crime and Punishment. It's a satire. Now I'm just trying to look it up because I didn't write it down properly. Today's episode brought to you by...
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yes. Jeffrey, I'm going to look up Jeffrey Wright. I'll let you know what I discovered. But he said Paul F. Tompkins. He did? Yeah. Didn't you? No, I know. He said both.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Right, but I still gotta figure out which one's the right answer. Why don't you look up the movie? Whatever way I do it. Well, because then I have to look through that whole cast of that movie. Maybe find which one's the wrong answer. This way, I only have to go through a couple things. But in the meantime, let's talk about all these wars that are going on. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:48:18 I like, I got Palestine with the points, by the way. OK, there's the giraffe, we covered that. Alright, what was your guess again? It was Paul F. Tompkins. Incorrect. You just know that. A whole time he knew. Alright, Amy?
Starting point is 00:48:44 Neither. All right, Amy? Neither. Sam? Can I try both again? I took a risk. I'll say Jeffrey Wright. Yes, Jeffrey Wright. It's an embarrassment of riches over here.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yeah, that's crazy. All right, you're up first again. Greg. Greg. Yes. A movie called Cement. Cement. Cement.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Cement. Paulement. Cement. Paul F. Tompkins, I'm gonna stick with him. That's incorrect. Amy, come on, get on the board. Please get it wrong. Is it right? Neither, Doug. Is it Jeffrey Wright or neither?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Nobody's in it. It's cement? Jeffrey Wright. I wanted to stick with neither. Which one do you like? You say neither, I say neither. We're different. Pick one. Okay, Jeffrey Wright. That's your final answer? Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:00 That is correct! He's bullying me. You got bullied into the correct answer. That film was from the year 2000, and he played a character named Ninny. I fire Paul Timers. That's the first thing I would have brought up if I was in a feud with him.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Listen, you Ninny. All right, so Amy's on the board, but Sam can really take it home right now I think he's home he doesn't he doesn't live at the lab at the improv Sam yeah all of top kids Jeffrey Wright or neither a motion picture called Jack Frost. Now I need some clarity. There are two Jack Frosts. Oh my goodness. There's a horror one right?
Starting point is 00:50:53 Yes, there was a horror film. Uh huh. And then there's the Michael Keaton family friendly. Oh that's not a horror film? Well. I'm Jack Frost. So which Jack Frost are we talking about? Let's get nuts!
Starting point is 00:51:10 What? Which Jack Frost are we talking about? We're talking about Michael Keaton. The Michael Keaton one. He's a family man. I see. Gets turned into a snowman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Has to... A people popsicle. Has to... What does he have to do? Does he just have to like... Just be a good person and turn back into a regular person again? I think he's gonna smoke a pipe. Maybe eat a carrot.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Eat a carrot? He's gonna eat his own nose? What kind of a snowman nightmare? I think he just has to like show his kids he's gentle or something, right? Right, right, which is hard to do when they're freezing to death. When you hug them, you...
Starting point is 00:51:44 And when you're a father, who's Irish? Yay. So... So... What do you think, Sam? I'm gonna guess Jeffrey Wright. You're going Jeffrey Wright, makes an appearance, and Jack Frost, incorrect.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I think you were giving me a gift there, and I appreciate that. I'm gonna go with my old friend Paul F. Tompkins. Greg. A film from 1998. Paul F. Tompkins played audience member in Jack Frost. Greg is on the board. Thank you audience members.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Greg is on the board. He's making this happen. Each one of you was a Paul F. Tompkins in your own way. Amy, we're back to you. You have a good chance here to catch up to Sam. And the motion picture is the 2016 remake of the Disney classic Pete's Dragon. Pete's Dragon. Pete's Dragon. I mean I'm going Paul F. Tompkins.
Starting point is 00:52:50 You think Paul. Is it animated? It's, you know, the dragon's animated, but everybody else is stiff as fuck. Whoa. Humans, regulars, regular people I think. Okay, I'm sticking with Paul. You're going Paul of Tompkins.
Starting point is 00:53:07 That is incorrect. Sam, you know what to do. I'm gonna say neither. That is what to do. That is correct, it is neither. Sam has won the game. Sam is unstoppable, but we're gonna find out after the break if
Starting point is 00:53:29 Gregor Amy's ready to step up and show Sam the door Plus we'll also play a game. We'll be right back We're back Oh my goodness so much fun here at the lab at the improv and Sam has been running away with this today, but that's his that's his want. That's what he does That's his life How this is gonna turn out until we do it. So we're gonna play Super Last Person Standing.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Oh dear God. All right, this is where we are going to get from the people that Amy, Greg, and Sam are playing on behalf of, we're gonna get from them a name of an actress. Then the four of us, because I like to play along, the four of us are going to take turns naming movies. Any of those three actresses has appeared in.
Starting point is 00:54:40 So hopefully it'll give us a little wiggle room because it can be tough. Hopefully no one will say Tilda Swinton. Am I right, Greg? Yeah, Tilda. You don't know your Tilda movies. She's like a chameleon. Like she's hard to even, you don't even know
Starting point is 00:54:58 when you're watching a Tilda Swinton movie. I think she was in Basquiat. You know what? I bet you're right. With Jeffrey Wright. Jeffrey Wright. I kept waiting for you to in Basquiat. You know what? I bet you're right. Jeffrey Wright. I kept waiting for you to say Basquiat because that was the only movie I knew. That's not what that game was. Okay. So, alright.
Starting point is 00:55:18 So Sam is going to give first once we get the names and then we'll go to Amy and then to me and then, wait, no, me, then Amy, then Greg. All right, so we'll go this way. All right, Sam. Yeah. Who's your lifeline?
Starting point is 00:55:40 Jason. Jason, inside the bomb, strike Back. Name an actress, sir. Sandra Bullock. Oh, that's a nice one. Oh, thank you. Sandy Bullock is always... God damn it. It's always... Goodness, it's Sandra Bernhardt. She's helpful. Sandra Bullock has managed to get into like 80% of the movies she's been in, or movies men have actually seen. You know, like she's got a really good
Starting point is 00:56:04 high percentage for that. All right. Amy, your person is? Jessie. Jessie, of course. Kate Blanchett. He's going Blanchett, comma Kate, spelled with a C in both names.
Starting point is 00:56:19 All right. And then Greg is playing on behalf of Nimaq, finding Nimaq. Can you name an actress, sir? Sarah Silverman? Ooh, Sarah Silverman. That's a fun twist. I, of course, know a few of her films.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Maybe all of them. Sam knows a lot. He's already got that face. We've been friends with her for a long time. Have you been in any of her movies? You know what? I'm not here to give you clues. She's performing about 20 feet from us right now. You might be on stage as we speak if you want to. Yeah. I don't put a lot of women up in there. I gotta see this, guys. Let's upgrade our experience.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Thanks for having me improv, what? Let's all go in there. Oh, that would be nice. Yeah, but I don't know what time she goes on, actually, but she is, it's true, she is in the facility at some point this evening. All right. This is amazing.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Kate Blanchett, Sarah Silverman, and Sandra Bullock. And we've got 14 minutes remaining in the show. Sam, start us off. A film that features any one of those amazing ladies. I will pick a film that stars two of those three. Are you doing Warner Herzog again? I would pick a film that stars two of those three. Are you doing Warner Hertzog again? I would pick a film. I would pick a film that features two obsolescence.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Was. Woods. And it's called Oceans 8. Ah. Sandy Bullock. Sandy B. And good old Oceans 8. And Kate.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Katie B. Billy Ocean's movie, anyceans 8. And Kate, Katie B. The only Oceans movie any of them has appeared in, I think. Yeah. All right. So for my turn, I got to start with, just because I love her character in this film, Penelope von Speets. Wreck-It Ralph. Yeah, Amy? I'm gonna go with Ocean's Eight,
Starting point is 00:58:28 because you can't do that, you're not allowed. It's cheating. What do you mean? Saying the same one he just said? He took two actresses. Oh, yeah. I'll give her that. Thank you, Greg.
Starting point is 00:58:39 All right. I'm the host. If Greg, Greg has hosted a game show on television, so I do feel like, you know, he does have that power. I know, I know we're short on time, but almost 30 years ago,
Starting point is 00:58:53 when I was literally a teenage child doing stage comedy in Manhattan, I saw Greg, we were on the same show, and I couldn't wait to tell him how much I loved Idiot Savants.z. And he was so nice to me, but incredulous that I actually watched the show. And you see how he turned out, Greg? I know! This is the remainder of the fan base for that show.
Starting point is 00:59:19 That's so sweet! Thank you, Sam. Thank you, dude. That was so sweet. Yeah. Yeah. And you vowed that very Thank you. Thank you. That's pretty cool. Thank you. That was very sweet. Yeah. Yeah. And you vowed that very day to beat him some day. I also love that you were like when I was a baby child
Starting point is 00:59:30 being a successful actor. No, oh this is years before I booked any acting work. Oh yeah, he was in his 40s when he got Freaks and Geeks. This was like 96, 97 maybe. When was so sweet. Something like that. Well there you go. It was a good show, I liked it so sweet? I don't like that. Well there you go. It was a good show.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I liked it too. It really was a great show. When you were writing it. I'm sure I brought it up the first time I met you. It's hard not to bring it up if you liked it, because it's cool. Anyway, what's happening? So she said Ocean's 8 and we were needing a rolling. Oh, Greg said that it's OK to say Ocean's 8 twice,
Starting point is 01:00:04 because two of them were in it. And I love that ruling. Okay. Yeah, only an idiot savant. Of course. Greg? I'm gonna say Speed. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:15 The film Speed. Yeah, as we go through this, please don't just mention your favorite drugs. Like try to focus on film titles. If I was on Speed, I probably would be answering a lot more of these questions. Yeah. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:00:29 You know they're gonna be in a hurry for us to wrap it up. Sam? I'm on speed two, cruise control. Yeah. Sam knows full titles are appreciated here on the show. That's why I can't say the name of that movie that Sandra Bullock's in that I can't, I never can get the title right.
Starting point is 01:00:46 But maybe it'll come up later. In the meantime, I'll just go with probably my favorite. It's a very specific genre, but this is my favorite movie where somebody puts in a mailbox a letter and someone gets it two years earlier. It's so good. And it's called The Lake House. And that's what I was gonna say. Of all the postal, uh, postal time travel movies, this is my favorite. Like, it takes time travel, it slows it down to, like,
Starting point is 01:01:18 what the postal service does. It's about time that that happened. Amy? I'll go with Miss Congeniality. Of course because of course Greg knows the full title of the sequel. Miss Congeniality. He doesn't know the first two words. I don't. Right? I don't actually. What do you guess what you think it is? Miss Congeniality. She did it again. That is wild. Like I don't think you could do that. It would be hard to win Miss Congeniality more than once. You know what I mean? People are on to you by the second time. But what's another Sandy B or Cate Blanchett? Let's go with Gravity.
Starting point is 01:02:08 We still got plenty of Silverman action here to do. Gravity, of course, is how Sandra Bullock didn't. I was about to say won an Oscar, but she didn't win for that. What'd she win for, Sam? Miss Congeniality 2, Armed and Fabulous. That is correct. That is correct. No, I was looking for, this is my answer, The Blindside!
Starting point is 01:02:28 Oh! Which isn't that fun that that kid from Blindside came out and said they were terrible to me. That true story turned out to be shocking. It turned out to be a real bummer. You knew at the time, Amy.

Starting point is 01:15:04 And the next Douglas movies, we're doing Wednesday next month here at the Lab at the Improvits, Wednesday, April 17th. So come out to that if you can. Do any of you on stage have a favorite last line from a motion picture? I like to close with a last line. Sam is nodding, Greg and Amy are looking at me like,
Starting point is 01:15:22 I got one. We barely know anything. Why ask us such a specific, what's yours Greg? Top Gun, the first one. Yeah, what do they say at the end? You can ride on my wing any time. And is that a man talking to a woman or another man? That would be Iceman talking to Tom Cruise. Oh really, that's the last line of the movie?
Starting point is 01:15:44 Maverick. Yeah, really? That's the last line of the movie? Maverick? Yeah, Maverick. Yeah, yeah. He talks to the Iceman, and then his girlfriend is just sitting at home? Because he has a whole love interest in that movie that seems real.
Starting point is 01:15:55 The new Maverick is the fake love interest, just to have one. Yeah. There's no chemistry. When you say last line, it's the last line I remember hearing in the movie. There you go. See, that's the last line I remember hearing in the back. There you go. See that's my problem. I think the last line, under that circumstance, the last line from the top gun to me is I feel the need, or the other one, take me home, or what does Meg Ryan say? Oh, play that song again.
Starting point is 01:16:22 Kiss me, fuck me goose. That's it, that's it. Kiss me, fuck me goose. And weirdly, she's not talking to her boyfriend. He got his nickname because he watched her fuck a goose. I call him goose because people are cruel. People are terrible. All right. I say the last line I heard in the theater.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Yeah. There's a snowstorm. What do you get balloons? What's the last line? The ordinary angels in Florida. Not from the film necessarily. All right, so give us a legitimate last line from a movie.
Starting point is 01:17:00 The film is 2012. The world has ended. Oh my God. Humanity is alive on a couple of giant ships. Yeah. And the last line is a young girl looking up at John Cusack and letting him know, no more pull-ups. She used to wet the bed.
Starting point is 01:17:20 That's real, the last line. Wait, what year does this take place in? Well, the movie came out in 2009. Seven years ago, oh, the last line. Wait, what year does this take place in? Well, the movie came out in 2009. Seven years ago, oh, oh I see. But it takes place in 2012, hence the title. The Mayans predicted the end of the world. And they did have pull-ups. I was lost.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Right, I'm sorry. She just doesn't need them anymore. Cause didn't that same director make a movie about like cavemen being obliterated? 10,000 BC. Yeah. Yeah. So I was thinking of that, and I was like, no more pull-ups.
Starting point is 01:17:46 She's really ahead of her time. She stopped using a thing that hasn't been invented yet. Yep. She just stopped shitting in her pants. I think it was just number one. That is a great one, Sam. That is a really great one. What was the last line of Raising Arizona?
Starting point is 01:18:00 I will close on it. It's a long, it's a narration. Oh, or maybe it was, it's another state. Or maybe it was something. It's a long, it's a narration. It's another state. Or maybe it was something. It's a different state. Yeah, something like that. I like the one Sam had. So thank you, everybody, for being here.
Starting point is 01:18:14 Thank you to The Improv. Thank you to Sam Levine, Greg Fitzsimmons, Amy Miller. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you, guys. As always, no more pull-ups!
