Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, everybody. Oh, my God. Exciting show. I love movies.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Doug Benson. I'm here. UCB Theater. A pretty packed house. I'm excited. Of course, you're all waiting to see the fantastic show, Comedy Death Ray, that's here every Tuesday and lets us hijack the audience for this podcast. And let me just get right into you.
Starting point is 00:00:53 You can see the shirt I'm wearing. I think it's got Darth Vader walking a tiny. What are those things called? Nerds. Tiny, what are those things called? Nerds! AT&Ts, is that what they're called? At-ats. And when he's walking at it, he whistles to himself. So I'm going to hold up his shirt, and hopefully everybody will see it at once.
Starting point is 00:01:27 First person that can name the movie that the shirt is referencing will get it thrown in their direction. And someone near you might catch it and, you know, I say fight it out. All right, here we go. This one says, I'm with the Underhills. Fletch. Bam! Guy says, Fletch. Now, of course, I don't know what these are from, so... The first confident answer that I hear is going to get a T-shirt.
Starting point is 00:01:54 No, I know most of them, but this next one I do not know. And it's been kind of driving me crazy, and I just wanted to find out here with everybody. So if you say it confidently, then I know you're right. It's not Star Wars and you cannot pre-guess. There's no pre-guessing. What would this shirt be? The one with Darth Vader and the thing. I guess it would be Empire. The Empire Strikes Back because we're in that one.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Alright, we're in that one. Okay, this one says Miss Lippy's car is green Holy shit Is Billy Madison right? Get it to that guy that said it way up there I want to make sure you get it
Starting point is 00:02:34 I'm going to throw it in the aisle and you come get it like a Like a god damn weirdo That was awesome What? Who is being at the booth You can't guess from the sound booth That was awesome. What? Who was being at the booth? You can't guess from the sound booth. That guy totally got your shirt, Sasquatch.
Starting point is 00:02:55 No, I got it. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay, good. I don't know how I feel about this talking from the booth thing. It's not I'm recording. Okay. All right, this next one, someone's going to know it immediately,
Starting point is 00:03:11 so I've got to get ready to throw it. I'm not even going to show it to you. I'm just going to say it. Abe Froman, Sausage King. There you go, you son of a... Ferris Bueller's Day Off, for those of you who are listening and didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Do you have those headphones around your neck because you're planning on jumping back to music if this is bullshit? You're like just ready to go? Because you're going to be here for a while. You could just put them away somewhere. You know what? You look like that guy in Empire Strikes Back
Starting point is 00:03:40 that's like, oh, they're coming. What's his name? God, you guys are a bunch of nerds. All right, let's, oh, they also, all the shirts aren't movie themed. They have some that are just a hilarious shirt
Starting point is 00:03:57 over at lookatmeshirts.com. This one says, I can't, like Ikea is the logo, and this says, I can't put furniture together. Whoever laughs the loudest gets it. There you go. That girl over there. Behind you, headphones. You've got the best shirt ever made, so relax. It's some sort of bridge from London with a queen hat.
Starting point is 00:04:29 It's like some password or something. Queen hat. Is it crown? Ding, ding, ding, ding. All right, so our first guest tonight is also a shirt that I brought. Because, and whoever cheers the loudest gets this one, because he is, you know him from the TV show, Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins!
Starting point is 00:04:56 That guy, that guy right there. That guy gets the Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins shirt. That guy gets the best week ever with Paul F. Tompkins shirt. It's not weird. It's just strange. Ow. What is that? Be careful. It hurt my knee immediately.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I'm sorry that your knee hit the table. But you can take the microphone out if you'd like. No, you know I always like it. Make yourself comfortable. Like this. I like it like this. Oh, that's good. Because it's the least amount of work for me.
Starting point is 00:05:25 That works for me. I just sit like this. Oh, that's good. Because it's the least amount of work for me. That works for me. I just sit here calmly. Holding it as a hassle. Oh, who has the time, girlfriend? I gave away the Paul Tompkins Best Week Ever shirt because I could never wear that. I can't wear a shirt that has a friend of mine's name on it. I wear it all over the place. And a rainbow shooting up out of it.
Starting point is 00:05:43 But that dude's going to wear the crap out of it. And that's exciting. I wrote down on a napkin everything that we need to cover. So let's get that out. Paul Tompkins is here. The other guest tonight, another return guest from earlier this season, one of our favorites. Our favorites.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's just me. But the listeners love him. Ladies and gentlemen, from Never Not Funny Podcast, James Pardo! Jimmy Pardo! All stand. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:18 There he is. There he is. There's nothing more fun to listen to than applause. I thought it was dynamite. I liked that it was about half the volume of PFTs, but I'm going to get past that. Yours came in very hot. I knew you should have been the second guest tonight.
Starting point is 00:06:32 There was a shirt involved. I couldn't give them a shirt. There was apparel? Yeah, yeah. They were cheering to win a shirt. You have a shirt? Yeah, I've got the You Fascinate Me shirts that are selling very well.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And I've got the Number Not Funny shirts, Bag of Corn Friend. I've got the Robin Williams suspender shirt. It's just a shirt and then you've got suspenders printed on there and some buttons. No way. Yeah, it's a shazbot. I had an idea for a shirt, long sleeve and all the way down the sleeve, winky face, happy face, other kind of frowny face. And then here it would say, I wear my emoticons on my sleeve. Bam!
Starting point is 00:07:12 Love it. Love it. I don't deny, on an improv stage, that's a great idea. Yes. Yes, sir. You'd be home of some amazing improv where people just stand around agreeing. Gotta have conflict, huh, P.F.? They do good stuff here.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Can I ask you a question, though? You just knowed me. Is it about movies? If you... No. Oh, shit. Here we go. If you had not thought of that shirt
Starting point is 00:07:38 and you saw someone wearing that shirt... Oh, I would tell them to fuck off. Yeah, exactly. All right. I would be like, you're an asshole. All right but I would make sure a lot of people would buy it I just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind that's one in a series of get rich ideas that I will never follow through on get rich medium yeah get rich baby tea what so everybody we're weird looks don't really play on a podcast as Get rich, baby T. What? So.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Hey, buddy. Weird looks don't really play on a podcast, as you know. As you know, that's why you added a camera to yours. I got a camera. I got a two-camera shoot. Two cameras now. We got the one. One is locked on you. At all times.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yes. And then we got the one that grabs the guests. And that's really a better camera. It's got the two people on it. Mine just has the one that grabs the guests and that's really a better camera that has got the two people on it mine just has the one I did Jimmy's podcast earlier today
Starting point is 00:08:30 that's true and I got in your shot a couple times yeah I would just I would stick my head in his camera I almost went
Starting point is 00:08:37 Christian Bale on you I went fucking crazy how dare you walk into my shot you're all do do do do do that's my favorite part That's my favorite part. That's my favorite part, too.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Do-do-do-do-do. We all have favorite things. Oh, good for you. Do-do-do. It's going to be a musical. So I like to play the six degrees of separation game with the people I bring on the show since last time I had two movie actors.
Starting point is 00:09:08 These guys are settling in. I feel like I'm upstaging or downstaging everybody on the stage. I don't know where to go. It's all good. You locked in. You've got some trouble. I don't know. I feel like a fucking tiger in a cage. Why can't this be up further? Why does he have to be locked in where he is?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Let's push it down. Ready? Let's do it there it is how's that paul that's nice that's nice that's great that's great now i feel like a tiger in a cage that has been painted to look like the jungle welcome to the jungle upgrade we've got running games here we go and anytime the two of you want to burst out into song i you know I love it. Oh, we've already done it. I know. I'm saying, I'm encouraging it as opposed to saying fucking stop that. No.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Quit it. Paul is a mere one degree from Kevin Bacon as I figured it out because Paul was in Magnolia with Tom Cruise. That's right, I was. Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. That is the correct answer. One degree. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Yeah, not bad. How about you, Jimmy? How many degrees do you think you are from Kevin Bacon? 42. 17, 42? 42 degrees, I would imagine. I can't. Although, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Maybe his wife is involved somehow. I don't know. Some television that I'm sure somebody's involved with. Oh, television. Oh, you can't count TV? No. Hey, next week, can you come on I Love TV? Burn.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Oh. That is a burn on you. Fuck yourself, you fucking hippie. That is a burn on you. I'll knock your bong up your ass, you son of a bitch. Oh, that's a burn on you. More of a threat. More of a threat than a burn.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I'll burn his ass with a bong. How about that? That's an actual burn. That is a burn. That is a burn slash threat. You of a threat than a burn. I'll burn his ass with a bong. How about that? That's an actual burn. That is a burn. That is a burn slash threat. You're going down. BT. Threat burn.
Starting point is 00:10:50 You're going down. So I'll start with you then. I was in the movie. Oh, here we go. I was in the movie. He was in a movie. I shot a scene for Dreamgirls. Cut out.
Starting point is 00:11:02 That had Eddie Murphy. Cut out. Out of the movie. Okay, so that doesn't count. Was Eddie Murphy in something with Kevin Bacon? Well, I'm trying to think. Oh, yes. Nutty Professor 2.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm trying to go degrees, though. What about the Beyonce Knowles? Is she involved with that Kevin Bacon? Wait a second. We could find a way to get to Kevin Bacon. Eddie Murphy was in Bowfinger with Steve Martin. Steve Martin. Who was in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon
Starting point is 00:11:26 did a cameo. There he goes. Was it uncredited? I think it may have been. I was also uncredited in Dreamgirls, so that's a perfect six degrees. Because you weren't in the movie. You were uncredited because you were not in the movie. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:11:41 But isn't Greg Barron in the credits of Jerry Maguire even though he got cut out of that? I think sometimes when you get caught, you're still in the credits. Well, who knows how they do things over there at Jerry Maguire. They run a loose shop over there. Recent movies, fellas? Start with Jimmy. I've seen a movie on a plane, or a mommy movie, or...
Starting point is 00:12:00 Most recent movie? In a motion picture theater without mommies. Oh, what did I see? I saw The Watchman, and Iman and they asked who was watching it. I was the only fellow in the movie watching it. Only guy alone. It was a private screening
Starting point is 00:12:10 over at the Arclight Movie Theater. Really? It was just you? 130. Yeah, nobody there. Would you go on the first day? A lot of people wait. Were you really there
Starting point is 00:12:18 all by yourself? It was just me and the young man that welcomed me named Dash goes, Hey, you're Jimmy Pardo. And I said,
Starting point is 00:12:24 Yeah. He goes, What are you seeing? I said, Watchman. He goes, goes, hey, you're Jimmy Pardo. And I said, yeah. He goes, what are you seeing? I said, Watchmen. He goes, oh, got to be a little quiet in there. It's going to be quiet in there at every showing of Watchmen. There's nothing to make noise about. It's fucking brutal. I liked most of it except that blue guy.
Starting point is 00:12:37 He was on screen for way too fucking long. Made you feel some weird things. I looked down at my blue balls on occasion. Is that what you're asking? That movie gave me nothing to beat off to. Is that what you're saying? You know what? I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Okay, that's what I thought you were saying. You didn't think the superhero girl that got naked was good? She is very sexy. She's very sexy. Pretty sexy lady. Very sexy. She was attractive. What did I see?
Starting point is 00:13:02 Do I have some weird power over you guys, or are we still playing the agreed everything game? But wait, what did I see last week? Tell me about other movies I haven't seen. What did you see last week? Oh, Sunshine Cleaning. Oh, why? Sunshine Cleaning.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Because I see every movie. I love movies. You like movies that are Sunshine and Alan Arkin and Fox Searchlight. Yeah. It was okay. Oh, I'll see any Fox Searchlight. Yeah. It was okay. Oh, I'll see any Fox Searchlight film that comes out.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I like that house. They make Oscar runners. They make pictures. I'm not looking at any of the guests. Who are you talking to? They make pictures. Who are you talking to?
Starting point is 00:13:40 That win awards. Nobody. But did you like it? I thought it was good. Good. I thought it had some moments of inhale. Three stars out of ten? it? I thought it was good. Good. I thought it had some moments of indel. Three stars out of ten? Three out of five.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Three out of nickel. Three out of five. Try out of nickel. All right. Three out of five in part of it. Three out of n. And you... Yes?
Starting point is 00:13:58 I like both those ladies, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. Sure. They did a great job. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. Sexy. She's British, you know. Which one? I don't know. Emily Blunt. Sure. They did a great job. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. Sexy. She's British, you know. Which one?
Starting point is 00:14:05 I don't know. Emily Blunt. They're both so good. I acted in a television pilot with Amy Adams many, many years ago. This was before her. Which one was it? It was called The Peter Principle. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I even was there, I think, watching. Wasn't Drew Hastings in that? Yes, he was. Yes, he was. Yes, he was. Amy Adams was cast in the role opposite me as my nemesis, but then
Starting point is 00:14:29 halfway through, she was fired. Why? They gave the role to Tiffany Amber Thiessen. She just wants to be called Tiffany Thiessen, by the way. That's who I saw, because I came down, especially because she was there. It just goes to show you that anybody can get fired.
Starting point is 00:14:44 That's actually a nice story. But then I saw her again years later. She was doing a little tiny thing in the Tenacious D movie. And I saw her in the makeup trailer. And she said hi to me first, which I thought was very nice. She seems like a sweet girl. That's a winner. And I hope that when they fired her, she said,
Starting point is 00:14:59 I will be twice nominated for Oscars, bitches. And then walked out. Because it didn't really happen. I don't think she did. It did. But I think she said it with more of a shrug. Because usually, I'll be twice nominated for Oscars, so. Yeah, goodbye.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Enjoy your television actress from Saved by the Bell. All right, from 90210. Sure. What have you seen lately, Paul? And it's almost time to get into the Leonard Maltin game. I also saw The Watchmen, which I might still be at it, as far as I know. A little lengthy, huh? Yeah, it bothered me. I was a fan of the source material, and while I thought it was very faithful to the spirit
Starting point is 00:15:39 and the actual text and images of the source material, they couldn't kick people across a room in that book. And I thought that that undermined the whole thing. Because the idea was not like, what if superheroes were real? The idea was, what if regular people were costumed vigilantes? And I don't think in real life anybody can kick anybody across a room or punch a hole in a kitchen counter or any of that shit. So it sort of bothered me about it.
Starting point is 00:16:05 It was kind of weird. Did you see it? I'm sorry it took me so long to keep talking. I know you wanted to say that earlier. I agree without having read the source material, which I always wanted to read. But the combination of a comic book. Who wants to go to the Library of Congress and go through all that hassle? But the idea of a dense... Everyone kept
Starting point is 00:16:27 talking about how dense it was as a comic. I'm like, what I like about comics is they're not dense. They're just simple. You skip over the fake files in the pirate ship comic. You're home free. Yeah, Zack Snyder was like, fuck the pirate ship. That's not going to be in my movie, even though my movie's going to be
Starting point is 00:16:43 way too long and might as well have a pirate ship in it. That's what he sounds like. Does he sound like that? Accurate impression. You are very good with the voices. That's why he does not cameo in his films. Sparta! So, um...
Starting point is 00:16:58 Or, look out for that zombie! Yeah, 300. Look out for that zombie. That's what he would have said if he was in Dawn of the Dead. One of the best remakes of all time. Is that true? Oh, it's so good. It is really good.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I'm thinking about it right now. Especially the first 10 or 15 minutes. Like in the Halloween Doug Loves Interrupting movies that we do here at UCB, every year I just show the first 15 minutes of Dawn of the Dead remake. It's really good. Because it's amazing. It's crazy and hilarious. Dead remake because it's amazing. It's crazy and hilarious. Always inspiring.
Starting point is 00:17:27 It's inspiring. Indeed. Comforting. Yeah, it kind of is a little bit comforting. There's something about it. A little bit. That's my comfort scene.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Yeah, yeah. Helps put me to bed. So, before we play the Leonard Maltin game Any else besides Watchmen? Anything more recently? You know what? Any else?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Words, mouth, questions Go talking now Paul I saw This is going way back. On DVD, I saw the first two installments of the Up series of documentaries, 7 Up and 14 Up, which I haven't seen. I believe you or your lady twittered about it, having seen that.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Might have been my lady. Yeah, you guys don't do anything without twittering about it. Well, you do some things without twittering about it. Give it time. Give it time. I don't like the racy undertones of this. That was a bad sexual encounter. Her name?
Starting point is 00:18:31 No. We would still be calling it sexual encounters. Yeah, yeah. Well, you try to keep it fresh by encountering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it didn't work out that one time when she showed up in the Watchmen outfit. The comedian in the Watchmen. In the book, is he funny?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Ha ha ha! Because he no funny in the movie. I think it was more... You're not funny! That's what I yelled out. Sure. Glad you weren't in my movie. I don't need a guy yelling out.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I had the whole place to myself. You should have yelled out. You sat there quietly. I actually nodded off during part of that movie. Did you sing along with any of the songs? Most of them, yeah. Did you text at all during it? Because no one would yell at you for texting.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I received a text. If you're alone. Truth be told, I did not text back. What did it say? The baby is choking? I can't be bothered with that. I can't. I'm watching The Watchmen.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'm watching The Watchmen. I'm four hours into this six-hour epic. So who knows when this will be posted on the iTunes. Who could say? Saturday. It happens when somebody feels like doing it. When it happens. Very good.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah. But hopefully it'll still be March Madness because tonight's Len Moulton game is all basketball. I'm ready to go. One note. Basketball movies. It's not note. It's name.
Starting point is 00:19:48 One note. But I like that you have done the research and have a vague idea how this works. Because explaining it to the guests is a nightmare. And I apologize to the listeners. Well, you do not have to explain it to us because we understand it. You guys have got it down. So we'll start with James Pardo for the first one. I'm very happy to start.
Starting point is 00:20:09 No peekage. Did you just look? No. No looking at the general letters of where I am in the book. Okay. General letters. General, don't get any. It seemed to be the American alphabet.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Is there any clue besides the fact that it's a basketball movie yes 1986 got it go Len Malton gives it what I
Starting point is 00:20:31 this is the clue gives it what I feel is a stingy three stars zero I say zero I guess it was zero zero names
Starting point is 00:20:38 yeah from that year and Len Malton giving it three stars how many can I go with how many can I start with you could start with? You could start with, I hadn't got to that part yet, but there are nine names.
Starting point is 00:20:51 So you could say I can name it nine names. And then Paul says eight. Through down to zero. He can, or he could just say, name that movie. I'm going to start. Do we start now? Yeah, yeah. I'm ready to go. Four.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Let's wait a while. I'm going to start with four. You could name that movie. In four names. In four names four names the four most obscure character actors in this basketball movie from 1986 i think i'm helping paul decide what to do here he says he can do it four names paul what do you i may have jumped the gun you shouldn't admit that you should act confident i can't name that movie in three names oh you son of a
Starting point is 00:21:25 now you could say oh people are on their feet it's like it's like poker it's like poker yeah step away from the table we're all in uh i can't get higher than that i'm doing this meerkat style mind your manner um i go two names two names you I go two names Two names? You leap to two names? He said three Oh he did I didn't even hear it
Starting point is 00:21:51 I just heard him get up on the chair Wasn't much of a leap Okay I'm going to name that movie in one name Oh So you think you know it already I think I do
Starting point is 00:22:00 I should have started with five So do you want to go zero names? Do you want to go zero names and guess or do you want to let Paul hear one name? I think we both have the same guess. Do we not? I bet we do. If you're good with years, I'm terrible with years. I could never get it by year.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I'm beginning to think I am. There's only seven basketball movies in the history of motion pictures by year. I go no names! I go no names! No names. He's going no names. I might be wrong on the year. All right, what is it? Is it Hoosier? Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Yes, it is, Jim Pardo. Right? Tell him what he's won, Jim Pardo. Oh, I do another one. I meant to say Don Pardo, but I said your name again. Go. All right, here we go. Go, go.
Starting point is 00:22:42 There's only three, so Paul, you have to get this one to tie it up. There's only three what? That one was a push. You knew that one. There's only three movies total that we do know. All right. Did you know that one, Paul? That was a push. That's a push. We're back at zero. No, we can't be. How could I find a fourth basketball movie?
Starting point is 00:23:01 We're up against the clock here. People write to me all the time saying the show should be longer than 30 minutes, so this one's going to be 29. Atta boy, show me who's boss. Yeah, I'll shoot him. You want more? Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:23:13 All right, this is from 1994. You got 15 names. I'm ready to go. 15 names. And here's the clue. Besides March Madness, this is the other clue. Louis Gossett appears unbilled. Kevin Bacon in Trains, Planes, and Automobiles style.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Unbilled appearance by Louis Gossett Jr. 1994? 1994. And, Paul, you start. And 15 names you can start out with I can name that movie in 14 names Jimmy
Starting point is 00:23:53 I'll jump to 9 I can do it in 9 names We've got a 9 jumper on our hands Paul 9 or name it I'm going to name that movie In 9 names What? I'm gonna name that movie In 9 names What?
Starting point is 00:24:08 I've already said 9 I'm gonna name that movie in 7 names Wow another 2 jump I like this I'll go half a dozen You guys are intense I go 6 5 names
Starting point is 00:24:18 4 3 2 1 I'm gonna do You know what? I'm gonna do You know what I'm gonna go zero again What
Starting point is 00:24:28 Boy you have From 1994 Is that too big of a clue I don't know But I'm gonna take a guess Is Luke Gossett the lead But unbilled Can I take my guess
Starting point is 00:24:38 Yes you can Hoop Dreams Is it Hoop Dreams Oh James Pardo I wanna look up now and see if any actors are listed in hoop dreams i thought maybe gossett stopped by a playground and said how's it going i thought he made a guy do push-ups in the rain what's up do you guys want me to yell at you to do push-ups? You said that.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Wait, don't I get a chance to name the movie? You did. I did. You win the point because he missed. Is that movie... Paul can take a guess. Is that movie The Fish That Eventually Abandoned Pittsburgh? No, it isn't.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Are you sure? Yeah. All right, then give us some names. Oh, you want to do it that way, do you? Well, we've got to figure it out without you just giving me names. Here we go. I could just give it to you, but I'll give you names. And then the first one that gets it doesn't win anything.
Starting point is 00:25:37 George Raveling, Richard Pitino, Bobby Knight, Jerry Tarkanian. He sounds like a player, Jerry Tarkanian He sounds like a player Jerry Tarkanian Or coach Robert Wool Another great coach Anthony Seahall I think he's the black guy
Starting point is 00:25:56 That played Harry In Harry and the Hendersons Not that they needed A black guy to play the part But he is a tall creature But isn't it nice We've come that far It really is Not that they needed a black guy to play the part, but he is a tall creature. But isn't it nice we've come that far? It really is.
Starting point is 00:26:09 That a black man can play big stuff. We went from a black Sasquatch to a black president. Matt Nover? Penny, uh, M. Bernie Penny Hardaway? Jack Shaquille O'Neal? Shaquille O'Neal? You're not playing. Oh! It's not Kazam!
Starting point is 00:26:24 Is it, is it Steel? No, it's a goodal. You're not playing. Oh! It's not Kazam. Is it... Is it Steele? No, that's a good guess. Don't yell out. Bob Ducey. Alfre Woodard. Ed O'Neal. The late JT Walsh. Mary McDonald from BSG.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And we've got one fan in the crowd. And it starred Nick Nolte and was directed by William Friedkin. Jefferson and basketball! And it's called Blue Chips. No. Would it have helped? Would a good clue have been, you get these when you fly JetBlue?
Starting point is 00:26:58 Blue Chips. All right, so we've got to go to the tiebreaker and we don't have much time. All right, very quickly then. I did not care for that one. That made me mad. You guys are tied up with your weird jumping to zero games that you're playing. I'm very cocky with my basketball game. You've tied it up.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Oh, that's not number one. Alright, give me a year. Here's the year. I guess when I got it wrong and I guess when I got it right. So you got the point when I got it wrong and I got one right. The year is 1979. I know it. I'm ready to go. The country is at war. Children are. The year is 1979. I know it. I'm ready to go. The country is at war. Children are crying. No. 1979. Ten names.
Starting point is 00:27:29 And Len says about this basketball movie from 1979, game hijinks only saving grace. So apparently what happens off the court is not hijinks and not a saving grace. And there are ten names, and we go back to Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Seven. Jimmy's going for seven. Paul F. Tompkins. Six. Six names. Five names. Four names. I'll go with three names
Starting point is 00:28:05 Two names You're not taking this seriously What? I'm gonna go one name One name? I'm going to do it in zero days Are you really? I'll do it in minus one
Starting point is 00:28:14 How does that work? I'll give you the names Wow It's gotta be the last name though Wow Oh it does? It can't be the star? It's gotta be Kareem Abdul, though. Wow. Oh, it does? It can't be the star? It's got to be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh, I might not know this one. Oh, no, I think I... Go ahead. Zero. Zero. Okay. 1979? Yeah, he said zero, so he has to guess it.
Starting point is 00:28:36 No, he didn't. He said... Game hijinks only saving grace? Yes. How many stars? I'm not telling that part. That wasn't one of the established clues. One and a half.
Starting point is 00:28:49 One and a half. I'm going to say it's the fish that saved Pittsburgh. That guess worked this time, my friend. Paul F. Tompkins is our winner. But thanks anyway. I know. How did I win? You won nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I'm going to guess fast break. You win bragging rights. Is it fast break? It's not fast break. But maybe next March I'll have you back on. Oh, let's make it a yearly thing. You will say zero names and yell out that title. But we got them.
Starting point is 00:29:17 I love playing zero names. You did get them eventually except for blue chips. Well, that was a horrible one. That's a tough one. It's not a bad movie. No, it was a horrible movie and a horrible choice. Did you actually see Blue Chips?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Mm-hmm. Sorry. I liked it. It's kind of great. It's directed by William Friedkin. I don't give a good goddamn. It's a gritty, and Shaq's not bad in it.
