I'm thankful to my guests today for putting aside an hour for this. And they are Jackie Cation, Daniel Koenig and Allie Vingiano. Hello. I feel welcome. Hi, hi, hi. Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically, starting with a returning guest. I don't know how many times she's been on. She's always a delight. I believe she has something she's out there trying to promote right now. It's Jackie Cation. Hi, Jackie.

Hi. I like that you said in alphabetical order and then the whole alphabet's available to you. Because I think it would be Allie. But I love that i do it by last name oh is it by last name yeah oh i forget that well you have the dewey decimal system here i'm so glad and i guess who's a bit of a snark today you know somebody a little just happy thanksgiving everyone i'm gonna have a lot anyway you're right you're right it's true by first name the alphabetical order would be the absolute opposite with the three of you but it's the last same thing

yeah i have a new album and a new special out and it's called staycation in an effort to get people to pronounce my name. Right. And to also stay at home in the last year and a half. I love it. That's I, I didn't even, you know, seeing it in print, I liked staycation just cause you know, that's what we were, comedians were on for a year and a half. But, but the fact that cation is the actual pronunciation of Jackie Cation, uh, is absolutely brilliant. Thank you. Thank you. I was, I was a little worried.

Next episode, next album is going to be called altercation. And then the one after that is going to be called incubation. No, I'm, I don't know what I'm going to do then. incubation no i don't know what i'm gonna do then uh well you know uh this one is coming out when did you say is it it is out in the world and it it is still it is number two behind bo burnham on the charts it's never lasted this long i've only it's like it was number one for like a week, which it's never been more than six hours. So this one must be extra good. Yeah. Get out there.

That's a real, yeah. A real badge of honor that it's been hanging in there, especially with some, you know, a creep like Bo Burnham in the, in the wings with all of his musical talent. I think oftentimes when we're on the charts, on the comedy charts, we're just telling jokes. And then we're up against these music comedy acts, these titans like Weird Al and Lonely Island. We can't compete with that. No, I don't. I don't. I mean, we're just talking.

Right. I'm going to gonna lose followers i pull out my clarinet are you kidding me yeah so i'm very proud of you uh holding your ground there for holding them off for a little while at least but uh um also joining us returning champion i don't know how she likes the sound of that but let's find out it's daniel koenig everybody hey daniel i love it why would i not like it that's awesome right yeah champion you're a champion now yeah until this episode is over it's like when i uh when i did star search they taped two episodes a day so even though to America, when the episodes air, I was champion for a week. I was only champion for a lunch break between shows.

Because then the very next show I came back and lost. Do you remember the name of the musical groups who were on with you? Or did they not have musical groups on that season? I forget if there were bands or not. Like, I know that the categories were kind of ever changing. or did they not have musical groups on that season? I forget if there were bands or not. Like I know that the categories were kind of ever changing, but I think they were bands on, but I don't remember what they were called. I should because that should be burned in my memory

just because they always had terrible names. That's exactly right. And that's why I always thought it was funny because I like No Doubt, but No Doubt to me sounds exactly like a star search name. So every time I hear it, I'm like with five stars, no doubt.

It just sounds like the dumb like phrase. Yeah. And, and just also like, you know, the dance groups would always be like, you know, Detroit city.

Yeah. Cultural center five. You like okay my friends my friends and i waited in line to audition when we were kids for kids star search and we were called brace yourselves the cat's meow my father named us and they all chickened out not chickened out but they were just like nah this line's too long and i was prepared i was prepared to wait all goddamn day but um to do our little dance to uh boogie boogie bugle boy but alas it was not to be and i'm the only one. You should have gone in there, gone solo

and showed them. They would have been so jealous if you'd have won the whole thing. I know, but we probably carpooled, so that was probably not going to happen. I just want to say that I have seen Jackie's podcast. Sorry, I've seen Jackie's show, her special on YouTube, and it is

unbelievably good. So it's just so fucking funny and smart. So everyone should watch or listen to it. Thank you so much. Yeah. Finally, you got a quote for the for the cover of the album. Exactly. I'll go back in time.

Yes. Also joining us today, first time guest. And, you know, with both first and last name, I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Allie Vingiano is here. You nailed it. That's exactly right. It's my one quarter Italian background helped me get through that. Oh, there you go.

That's probably why everyone butchers it. Writer and story editor on Apple TV's The Morning Show. And starring in a feature film that's about to come out called The End of Us. It's in theaters December 3rd and VOD on December 7th. That is true. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. I'm very excited. Oh, good, good.

I'm glad because, you know, we haven't met. So sometimes I don't know when I hear, you know, somebody's got this movie they want to promote. I'm like, I want to help them promote their movie. But, uh, other than that, uh, we don't, uh, we don't know each other is, do you feel, well, first of all, what is the end of us about? So the end of us is, um, a movie that basically me and a group of friends, you know, moved into a house during quarantine for like two weeks in May of 2020 and shot this movie together just because it was I mean, I was doing nothing.

I was just like playing video games on the couch and they called me and they're like, hey, do you want to act in this movie? And I was like, yes, please give me something creative to do. And it's basically a sort of anti romcom. And it's basically a sort of anti-rom-com. It's about two people who are breaking up and living together and trying to survive. So it's, you know, I would say what nobody wants, which is quarantine related content. But it's really not about quarantine. It's really just about this couple and their relationship. And the other man, the other guy in it is played by my friend Ben, who I adore.

And that's the end of us. So we made it for like no money. And it's actually getting a theatrical run. It played at South by this year and then is going to be in theaters in December. That's a fantastic. Yeah, that's really great that it's be in theaters in December. That's a fantastic, yeah, that's really great that it's playing in theaters because we got to, you know,

get people back out to the theaters. And also we got to prove these, you know, older filmmakers are starting to whine a lot about how, you know, unless you're making superhero films, you can't get your movies into theaters. So it's great to hear that, you know, The End of Us sounds like a pretty small movie to be playing on a big screen, and that's great.

Totally. I feel so lucky that we were able to get it. Like, I feel like there's two tiers of movies, either like the huge superhero movies and then the like this movie we only made because it was we didn't fundraise. We made it all with our own money. Like it costs nothing. And because we were able to, you know, because I got into South by and got like some buzz there, we were able to get into theaters. I don't know how anybody makes like indie movies anymore, like million dollar indie movies from finance years. I don't know. That's that's a different story. But it is really cool that like you can still just go shoot something and, you know, maybe get lucky and

and get into a festival and get in the theater. Yeah. And the show is uh two seasons in at this point yes yes yeah just finished writing the second or just finished the second season which is now out a wild ride and all the episodes are out now yes yeah i think the last one just came out like a week ago okay i gotta catch up on uh on the morning show but uh um but congratulations on that as well thank you yeah you got you you know you managed to get some things going on during that uh during that down time and um danielle started a new podcast we should mention that called how to survive with uh danielle and christine yes thank you so much i'm excited yeah i'm excited i remember that whole title i am very impressed yeah jackie was on it just this week she told the story about uh being too drunk

it was about the 90s what how to survive being too drunk or the 90s or being too drunk in the 90s. Well, so this is the way the show works is we deal with a real subject and then we deal with like a serious subject that you can actually get pointers on. And then we deal with something that is, you know, like someone was laughable in retrospect. I lived. I lived. She lived. So we had how to survive a in a drowning car and how to survive drowning in alcohol. Oh, they both just make me just thirsty. I was going to say sleepy, but yeah, me a lot of things like those are both uh

intense uh experiences and just briefly i don't want i want people to go listen to your show danielle so this was a good tease but just can you give us just a what's the number one thing you need to know about when you're when your car is underwater okay so the number one thing you need to know is to try to is to break the side window not the windshield you have to break a window underwater well if you can't open if you can't um if it doesn't have a hand crank and it's operated by electric. Actually, sometimes they do still work. The electric will still work. But if it doesn't, for some reason, you have to kick it out and you have to do it as soon as possible.

There's a myth about, it's not a myth, but there's a rule of thumb to wait until your car has completely sunk so that the pressure on the inside and the outside match so you can open the door but that takes longer than one would hope so you don't want to wait until it sinks oh no see this is great so that's the reason if you listen to the show you'll hear even more details about that but then other situations like that where you just don't uh you just don't know offhand what to do and then i tell you how to find your car well that's okay so you were you said the 90s so in the 90s how did you find your car because now i find my car by taking a picture of it before i even start to drink oh you just uh take a picture of where your car is and then you're like where do they tow cars to

and then you walk across the city of minneapolis and get confronted by a squirrel that is scary because you're so hung over all right you have a very specific experience. Specificity is where is where the story lies. Yeah. I do want to hear more about the spooky squirrel. I'm going to have to listen. Yeah. Listen to Jackie's episode of Danielle, how to survive with Danielle and Christine.

And now to help people survive, you know, out there in terms of getting their entertainment nourishment that they so desperately need, especially now that people are going back out to theaters. I'd like each of you to recommend one motion picture that you think people, you know, I don't know. I always have trouble finding the words for what kind of recommendation I'm looking for here.

Is it one in theater? I guess just something where people wouldn't come back to you and go, what the hell were you talking about? That was garbage. Something that's like, if I tell people about this, they're going to respond to it do you want to go first jackie i have um the movies that i'm watching as i fly around the country now is a romantic comedy that i was so certain that seth rogan had bought like a trophy wife of a movie.

The Long Shot? Yeah. Yeah. So that I recommend it to my sister. It turns out my nephew, who's 11, doesn't want to sit in a room and hear about jerking off with his moms there. But for everyone else who's just a person by themselves watching a romantic comedy, who might like a romantic comedy, the long shot is actually very good. Seth Rogen, Charlize Theron. Yeah, we should say, though, that it's not, you know, it's not about guys talking about jerking off. That just happens at some point.

It just happens at one point. And there was an uncomfortable moment with a small family that was watching it that i recommended it to them so i i feel obligated to tell you it's an adult movie it's like a r-rated it might be even r-rated yeah yeah yeah could be pg-13 but it's probably r and seth rogan does you know as he does says some inappropriate things if you want the whole family to watch you should have recommended for Seth Rogen an American pickle oh god was that I think that doesn't have any dirty talk in it but it's about the pickle industry and I can't right so that's dirty That's bad enough. All right. But yes, the long shot was Charlize. And and it's funny that the long shot is a great example of, you know,

it's a movie where she plays a smart, beautiful politician and he's this dorky writer and they somehow fall in love. And but it's a great example of what's happening with people can't stop talking about how can pete davidson get kim kardashian and this movie sort of explores that that's why it's called the long shot like how could somebody good-looking person between pete davidson and kardashian who's good-looking that's see that's the thing is i'm more drawn to him for some reason but that's just fair enough yeah you know but i'm just saying that they're acting like she's like well how could a guy like him they're they're basically like he's not attractive enough for her but it's like well he's certainly you know funny and crazy enough right like she traditionally has really good

judgment when it comes to men exactly so um anyway yeah so that's that's what seth rogan has to go through in that movie is a lot of people going why him but uh um it got a lot of uh speaking of south by southwest that's where it uh that movie premiered at south by okay danielle what have you got to recommend this time? You know, we are in the holiday season. And so I'm going to go way, way, way back. And I'm going to recommend my favorite holiday movie of all time, which is Miracle on 34th Street. Original, black and white. Original, black and white.

Natalie Wood. Natalie Wood, yes. They tried to color it back in the 90s. Bad idea. Bad idea. Watch it. Ted Turner. Ted Turner.

Yeah, exactly. I just don't know if people know it as well as they know It's a Wonderful Life, which is also, you know, like a flawless movie. But Miracle on 34th Street, I've watched since I was a little girl. And it's just so great and i i finally showed it to my husband he had never seen it he was he was like oh my god this is a great movie i'm like yes yes yes it's a great movie it's a great movie start to finish yes and natalie wood is so good like she's such a good kid actor like she doesn't she's not obnoxious She's you know very real

And you just I've never seen it Oh Allie Do yourself a favor I love Christmas Like I've seen It's a Wonderful Life like a hundred times Okay that's why I recommended this movie Because it's like a runner

It's always like the second fiddle to It's a Wonderful Life but it's It's just fantastic like if you have always like the second fiddle to It's a Wonderful Life. But it's just fantastic. Like, if you have ever been a cynical child, which I was, it's just wonderful. It's a delight. It's a delight. Okay. Yeah.

Definitely watch it. Please watch it, Allie. And speaking of cynicism, when they remade it. Yeah. I've never seen the remake. I accidentally did. It's perfectly competent actors and people you know everything about it is competent but it is just taking something that's already great and just recreating it for no reason right they also could not fix the ending because of the u.s mail

versus email right oh okay don't tell her don't tell her i won't because it's no spoilers on the 75 year old movie but if you but it uh yes it's a happy ending i will see it since 1944 it's been penciled in just give her another day or two i've just been really busy the past three years uh all right well that's it that's a terrific recommendation glad to hear it and uh a lot of pressure on you now your first time on the show ali but uh what what would you like to recommend i know i love long shot excited to see miracle on 34th street. Which I had like a cool Christmas movie. I'm really, it's a wonderful life person,

but I was thinking about like one of the last movies I saw in theaters. And so it's, it's this movie called one cut of the dead. I don't know if you saw it, Doug or anybody else. It's this Japanese movie that was like made for like twenty five thousand dollars and then went to make over like thirty million dollars. It's like the highest grossing movie against its own budget. And it is the it's one of I saw it in theaters like right before COVID. And it's one of the funniest movies that I just want everybody to watch. So, yeah, again, it's one cut of the dead.

And the first 30 minutes, it's one shot of a horror. It's a horror film that's all filmed in one shot. And then this I don't know if this is I don't think this is a spoiler because I think this is how they marketed it. But then the second half of the movie, you go back and you see the film crew and how they're shooting it and how they're getting the shots. So it's like a little tiny bit like inside baseball, but it's basically about this film crew that's like trying to make this movie together. And it's completely ridiculous and very, very funny. So I've you know, I've been hearing people rave about it you know it came out of like you know people have seen it in festivals and stuff and um i just haven't gotten around

to it yet but it's definitely uh something i want to see and i've heard great things about so that's a that's a good one wow it looks amazing hey what are you looking at jackie i was looking at a thing i thought i'd stare deeply into my camera it's just like really enjoyable like i don't think you can not enjoy watching the movie um it's it's i mean the first half an hour maybe when you're like if you don't understand the concept of it it might be a little tiresome if you don't like know what you're getting into you might be like okay like i get it and then but the second half of the movie they would they really like land it and it's is it really scary no no okay it's more like slapsticky oh perfect yeah well also if you're in the mood for like a not scary but christmassy and halloweeny

movie i recommend uh anna and the Apocalypse. Oh. It's a zombie movie, but it's got some typical zombie violence, but it's also a musical, so it's just fun, and it's a great anytime between Halloween and Christmas,

I think it's a good annual something you can revisit. But we're going to go into the games portion of the show now, Jackie, so you have to pretend like you don't have access to the answers via computer. I'm not

fast enough. It'll be fine. As people who've listened to me on this program before will know, my lack of knowledge is sometimes my biggest charm. Right. You wouldn't even know how to cheat because you wouldn't know what to look up. It's really true. You wouldn't know what to ask.

Okay, so we'll get into it. We'll play some games right after this break. We'll be right back. We are back. Fastest commercial breaks in the business. And the first game we're going to play today is called Boom, Boom, Boom. Boom. There was an ellipsis and then another boom there. Because there's a motion picture on Netflix right now called Tick Tick Boom. Okay. That is another one

that I would recommend. I enjoyed it very much. I just watched it too. There you go. It's a musical about the artistic life of Jonathan Larson who wrote Rent but then passed away unfortunately before the show even premiered so

he has no idea i thought it was called like briga boom it's not called that that's no that's making this make it do this game is gonna be perfect for you jackie because it's about confusing the word boom in titles because so here's what happens so netflix has they they have every day they have a chart on the site that lists the top 10 tv shows movies and then overall top 10 but they basically let you sort of see what the top 10 most watched things are at any given day and so tick tick boom was like number six or something like that because it premiered on Friday. And but right behind it in the top 10 was a movie, Kevin James movie called Here Comes the Boom. And I just think that boom, the word was getting so much extra action that people were noticing.

Oh, hey, this Kevinames movie is here too so they were watching that in almost equal measure to the movie they initially recently looked up the word boom and then and then now a few days later here comes the boom is still in the top 10 and tick tick boom is no longer in the top 10 like the netflix viewership has lost interest in the you know drama about a guy right trying to write musical theater so um uh i decided to come up with this game i've been using the fact that so many movies have had so many different kinds of movies they've had the word boom in the title so i'm going to state a fun fact or not so fun fact about a movie jackie's gonna go first i'll state the fact to you jackie and then you tell me if that fact applies to baby boom starring diane keaton

okay here comes the boom with kevin james or tick tick ellipses boom exclamation point starring andrew garfield as jonathan larson oh sorry go ahead hang on a sec if jackie misses it then it goes to danielle she gets a shot if she misses it then ally gets a gimme because there's only three options and then it just it just proceeds from there. Jackie, you have a question. My question is, is Garfield the guy who played the emo Spider-Man? Yeah. No, not the emo Spider-Man. Well, I mean, he's the last Spider-Man before the current guy.

Yeah, he was all emo, wasn't he? Wasn't he Rilo Ken of Spider-Man? I skipped it. I went straight from Tobey Maguire to whoever Good choice. Anyway, just curious. I'm waiting off. I'm so sorry. I understand what you mean. He was a more

he was a mopier. He was like more of a how a Timothee Chalamet would approach the role. Then, you know, and then Tom Holland really brought out i i thought i think all three actors do a good job with that part but tom holland really seems to be like owning it now although you know the internet's abuzz about how all the spider-mans and all the villains of every spider-man they all appear in this new spider-man that's about to come out. So, yeah. Yeah, everybody's already ruined that.

Well, on the other hand, there's a scene in Tick, Tick, Boom with lots of musical theater stars and nobody's spoiling that. It's like, all of a sudden, the guy who played George Washington in Hamilton shows up. What? Anyway.

Two of the ladies from Hamilton show up. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's a great moment. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK, so has anybody seen Here Comes the Boom? Yes, I have. Oh, wow. OK, cool. I have a son. That's why I've seen it. She might have. Yeah, you might have a little bit of an advantage there, but I don't know. I don't know if seeing the movies is going to be helpful or not. But we'll start with Jackie.

Okay. So you just have to say baby, baby boom, here comes the boom, or tick, tick, boom. Which one of those has two ladies in the cast who used to be Saturday Night Live regulars? So they're not current regulars on SNL. They used to be on it. And they're in which one of those three movies? I'm going to say Baby Boom. You're going Baby Boom.

Right. Jackie Cation. Right out of the gate. Is doing it right. Yeah. Oh, wow. That is the correct answer. Yes. Mary Gross and Victoria Jackson

are both in Baby Boom. I remember Victoria Jackson being in it. Yeah, there you go. So Jackie's on the board. She's got one point. Danielle gets to start with this next Next one

Then we'll go to Allie and then to Jackie Which one of those movies Is called In some countries That aren't the US They call it Peso Pasados that aren't the u.s they call it peso pasados

i'm learning spanish and i have no idea what that jesus fuck you duolingo okay peso pasados yeahados. Yeah. So I'm just going to say, I'm going to say, here comes the boom. That is correct. Yes. What? Yeah. Yeah. I guess maybe, maybe his character, I don't know what's, what's going on there.

That's in Spain and Portugal. They call it a Peso Pesados. And then in one country, they call it it they even call it professor peso pesado i was thinking maybe like boom is money like pesos i don't like yeah i don't i don't know how that translation happened what does pesado mean does do we know uh is it pescado like fish fish i don't think so fishy fishy money that's it fish money all right ally gets to go first on this next one if you get this one it will have a three-way tie we'll have to have a tiebreaker to settle this thing uh-ohoh. Which one of those movies, Baby Boom, Tick Tick Boom,

or that other boom, Here Comes the Boom, which one of them, Allie, has a character in it named Elizabeth Wyatt? Elizabeth Wyatt.

Yeah. I have not seen any of these films. So I'm going to go out and guess Tick, Tick, Boom. Oh, no. I was going to say Baby Boom. Is that right? Tick, Tick, Boom is your answer.

Yes, it is. We have to stay with tick tick okay jack nobody does disappointment like doug benson yes well done i'm gonna guess baby boom it's baby boom you're going baby boom uh hang on one a second i got to get the proper sound effect. Baby Boom is correct. You should have trust your second instinct, Allie. I know. I feel like Wyatt, it just feels like a name that's from the 80s to me. Yeah.

That's an old ass movie. And Elizabeth Wyatt is the name of the baby in the movie. that's an old ass movie and and Elizabeth Wyatt is the name of the baby in the movie the played by two actresses two baby actresses yeah because you know they had to double up

on the babies yeah some movies they go crazy and they'll get like quintuplets or some shit really gotta knock it out yeah but congratulations to Yeah. No, some movies they go crazy and they'll get like quintuplets or some shit. Right. If they were really going to knock it out. Yeah. But congratulations to Jackie. You won. Boom, boom, boom. Nice. Unbelievable. Yes.

You did it. Put down your boom sticks. We have a winner. And we're going to find out what Jackie won right after this break. We'll be right back. We're back. And Jackie, are you dying to know what you won for winning the first game today? You get to go first in our second game. I went first. That's what you win. You get to remain going first. All right.

First player marker. Yeah. And then we go alphabetical order from there. So everybody remains in their same positions. But in this game, everybody gets to go first at least once because I've got three rounds of play. And the game is called Parental Guidance. Okay. The clues I will give you in this game are parental warnings that i found on the internet

i'd look up a movie see what it was they were warning parents about write down some of the weirder ones and call it a game love it seth rogan into his own face anything for the 11 year old don't do it yeah there will be four i've prepared four clues for each movie so the person who goes first will get the first clue which is the most difficult and the clues should get easier so if it gets all the way back to that person for the fourth clue uh it should be a giveaway at that point they should be able to uh secure the point you got to really open your mind up on these because like they can't tend to get very specific about uh super small moments from uh what i think are big movies that's another thing is i pick movies i think everybody knows but you know you just never know there's people

out there that haven't seen miracle on 34th street for instance for instance we are here they deserve to be heard our voice is important yeah and she's not even she's gonna watch it and not even colorize. She's that dedicated to the cause. One day when I'm not so busy. Yeah, maybe Christmas. How about a Christmas? Yeah, a perfect Christmas movie.

Jackie, the first film has these things in it. This is a two-part first clue. This movie has mild drinking on the plane, and it also has a man dressed up as

Santa Claus smoking a cigarette. Up in the air. Terrific guess. Incorrect. Okay. But I loved it. I love

a decisive, quick, incorrect guess. Danielle? Okay. You get an extra clue now. Okay. In addition to mild drinking on the plane and a man dressed up as Santa smoking a cigarette, when

Marv drops his shoe, he whispers the S word. I think it's home alone. Is that what you think? I'm just, yeah. Yeah. What gave it away? Was it Marv?

Honestly, I get, I thought it from Jackie's. I wasn't sure but then um yeah i did that helped that somebody named marv dropped his shoe marv of course is one of the wet bandits yeah i've heard this movie talked about more than i've seen i mean i've seen it but i haven't seen it on multiple viewings like most people, I guess. But it seems to come up a lot. So, yeah. I've only seen parts of it. I get it.

You get it. Well, well done. Well done, Danielle, because, you know, you got it on the second clue, which I thought was a difficult one. And then the third clue was supposed to be easier. The third clue was Buzz asked his cousin if it's true that French babes don't shave their pits and they've got nude beaches and when that was a warning that was one of the parental warnings that's a parental warning that

you know there's a kid named buzz in this movie and he's talking about french babes so you gotta you gotta you gotta you know everything you never know you know kids all have their own different triggers right uh danielle there might be something that sets off your son that you know about there you go yes french you keep him away from this movie because the whole family's just headed to france the whole movie would probably just make him insane if he hates the french very and then and then the fourth clue to see this is where i'm just saying this to give you an idea how much it gives it away the fourth clue was kevin puts aftershave on his face

in two scenes which causes him to scream wait a second that's a warning yeah well it goes on to say this is not violent at all and is meant for comedic effect. I never understood why that makes him scream. It's just... It stings. That stuff stings your face. It's for manly man faces. Shaving cream stings your face? No, no. The aftershave. He puts on aftershave.

It stings your face if you've shaved. Oh, that's a good point that's a good like if he had gotten it in his eyeball it might have it still might be kind of stingy though i've never tried that though that's an excellent point if he hasn't actually or does he go through the motions of shaving so his skin is a little raw i know he goes to the motions of acting well now we know why this person left this comment because they're a truther about why is he screaming it is it is misleading like it's you know it's they're like they say it's not violent it's just

comedic um as opposed to all the terrible things that happen to the wet bandits that are comedic and and also very violent um okay so danielle's on the board she's got one point but like i said everybody gets a chance to go first and now it's danielle's chance to go first toughest clue this is the toughest clue according to me clue number one it is sometimes also the writing is not good on these warnings it is a complete family

oriented based drama no sex or nudity in this drama can you think of a family oriented based drama that has no sex or nudity okay a drama that's literally the only thing i can think of is ordinary people i you know that's what i live for is those moments where i'd be so excited if it was ordinary people then unfortunately it is not so we go to alley and uh the second clue goes like this because that first one was not very helpful a girl falls through the ice into a lake but is rescued. I like how the butt is rescued

takes such a sting off of it. If she just fell into the ice and we didn't know what happened to her, then we probably would just go ahead and take our kids. That would be a valid warning. Someone does. I think I know what it is now.

Oh, well you saw your turn. Do you have a guess, Natalie? There's no lifelines, unfortunately. Zoom chat. A family drama where someone falls through the ice. You know, let's just go

with the ice storm. You know, I don't think anybody falls through guys but uh poor little uh is it elijah elijah wood gets like uh electrocuted or he watches somebody get electrocuted there's definitely some ice related stuff yeah lots of there's like a power line a power line falls down and it hits the ground and somebody's just standing there and they get electrocuted. I feel like it's Eliza Wood, but I don't know for sure. OK, so we're on to clue number three.

And this goes to Jackie. Yes. Sisterly fights occur briefly. Little women. This is so dumb sisterly fights occur briefly and shown for maximum less than 15 seconds such as arm slapping and floor fighting floor fighting well that's its own that's your guess yes you're going with that you want to stick with that even though I haven't finished the clue yet yes that is correct

alright you did it Jackie I did it the fourth clue is Meg Meg shows a bit of cleavage at the mall and again later while speaking with Joe about marriage

shy boo 90s little woman and again later while speaking with joe about marriage is this from um parent what is that site called oh uh the parent i don't look at that one because that's like okay religious base this is more like uh this isn't this feels i know i mean they all do they all they all end up feeling that way because they like they're like oh they say goddamn like they always point out like curses against god and stuff it's so silly all right uh so this is ali's round where she gets to go first oh no come on ali you know if it gets back around to you you'll get it for sure let's see if this first clue is any help at all all right here goes uh the bad guy in this film is very dirty grimy shady and especially frightening frightening. Jesus Christ. The bad guy in this film is very dirty, grimy, shady.

I love shady to be thrown in there. He's already dirty, grimy, and frightening. I didn't have to throw in shady. He's also, he might be a criminal. He is. He's up to some stuff. Any guesses for that one,

Ellie? I mean, this could be so many movies, but I feel like we're maybe doing some holiday-ish themed. I'm going to go with Die Hard. He's got a saddle robe uh suit hans gruber yeah i guess it depends on who you're referring to as the bad guy in that movie because there are a bunch of them but i'd say the main bad

guy isn't isn't dirty or grimy okay he's two out of four for sure. He's actually terrifying. Yeah, he's very scary. Okay, so that means we move to Jackie for the second clue. And it goes like this. A lady gets sucked into a copy machine. What? A lady gets sucked into a copy machine where the bad guys are grimy and dirty just one bad guy i'm gonna talk my way through it i'm gonna say it's not office space okay i just was doing uh maybe well it's not that but i can't a lady is sucked into a copy machine i was just trying to explain weird science to somebody

i feel like you didn't succeed barely i was just like ah gotta go it's weird they invented they they make a girl they make a sex robot yeah yeah that's weird science weird science i'm not trying to confuse you right right no it's um yeah i uh i gotta go weird science because it's wrong yeah go ahead okay go to daniel i like weird science as a guest though because you know things both of those things could happen in weird science yeah but here we go danielle okay the bad guy we're back to him again the bad guy flatulence at one point after being fed an entire pot of beans so this is a real cause and effect situation the bad guy eats beans gets the hell of some beans and then has flatulence

i can't even tell what genre this movie is like i'm so confused like is it a horror movie is it a comedy i am so confused okay wait a second so the bad guy's dirty a woman gets sucked into a copy machine yeah i feel like i've not seen this movie but you're saying it's a big movie. You never know. That's true. Copy machine. I want to riff so bad. I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say,

down and out in Beverly Hills. That's incorrect. It doesn't stand by me okay there's no copy machines in 1967 or whatever right right they've made me a graph yeah all right it's back to ally and she gets the clue that I think gives it away. And apologies if it doesn't. But I think it should. Are you ready Allie? I'm ready. Dennis

slingshots an aspirin into Mr. Wilson's throat. Okay. Oh my God. Yeah, I didn't see this. what is it ali too young to know these things i mean i i you might have missed the window is it like is it is it like uh

what if it's like dennis the menace what if it's like Dennis the Menace? What if it's like this? That is what it is. That is correct. Yay! Did you think this was something everyone has seen, Doug? That's how you started this. These are movies that everyone has seen. That I think everyone has seen, yes.

Dennis the Menace was, I mean, you know, regardless of what made me think of it as uh adults is uh seemed like a pretty popular okay uh children's movie yeah i definitely watched that when i was younger i just haven't seen it in so long i never those first ones never would have crossed my mind yeah yeah well that's what you know that's why there's a the you know i thought it'd be foolproof to uh that last clue and it did it did work out for uh everybody concerned what if it's what if it's in the ballpark of a dentist all right so we have one more round to go this is going to decide it all we're uh we've got just the perfect amount of time to finish this up

um so jackie we're back to you again you get to go first again because you won that last game right yes that's how that works that's how that works right that was happened yeah all right so um again it's the same deal four clues will get easier we'll get a winner jackie here it is this is an exact example of what I was talking about earlier. This movie has two uses of hell and gosh, and one use of God and butt. But yeah, I'm hoping that somebody calls somebody God,

but I don't, I don't, I believe they're probably two separate sentences. God and butter. And I want to do a dramatic reading from that movie. Gosh, my butt hurts. Oh, God, help me. Oh, God. Anyway, I have to say, is it, oh, God? No. No. Okay. No God.

Danielle? Yeah. A half a dozen Santas are shown in a bar drinking beer. Ooh. Ooh. I really feel like I should know this because it's not. Okay. Gosh. Half a dozen Santas are shown.

And they say but. And they say but. Right. And gosh. Yeah, gosh and God and but and hell. Oh, yeah? I'm going to say Home alone too lost in new york yes oh my gosh you got it no i got it that's the incorrect doing i'm so sorry the other one has a whistle. Yeah.

Allie? Bring us home. A man is menacing to Santa. Santa strikes the man with his cane. Oh. Oh, my God. I thought this was bad Santa, but the cane. Oh, my God. This is so weird.

And now I don't know because of the cane. But I've never seen bad Santa. So maybe he has a cane. Let's just go with that instinct, I guess. I'll say bad Santa. I love it. I. I love it. I love that, you know, you went with it. You know, you got to listen to your instincts,

even when they're wrong. You should give it away, Jackie. This is for the win. This is amazing that it was this movie that you chose. I have smoke coming out of my ears danielle should get the point for this oh my god now i know what it is yes here's the fourth warning that they think that uh that this movie needs wait what are the parents should have what were the first three again i i don't have time to recap that okay i'm so sorry gosh god but yeah santa's drinking

santa's menacing santa striking somebody with a cane and then the final one is story deals with whether santa is real miracle on 34th street with natalie wood you did it and fred mertz You did it. And Fred Mertz. Yes, as the judge. As the judge's helper. It's a good thing it didn't matter

which one you were referring to because this was Miracle on 34th Street from 1994. I was going to say, I don't remember them ever saying butt. Yeah, they're not going to say butt in that old classic, but they threw butt into the new ones and update it you know to make it more hip and relevant and but like yeah get that butt in there jackie cation you did it you won that means you get to do your plugs first go ahead and plug away plug away i have a podcast called the dork
