Today's episode is brought to in part by Shopify.
When I started Doug Love's movies, it seemed like I had to figure it out all on my own,
creating the games, booking the guests, recording the show.
It was super overwhelming and every day seemed to introduce a new decision that needed an answer.
When you're starting off with something new, it seems like your to-do list keeps growing every day with new tasks,
and that list can easily begin to overrun your life.
Finding the right tool that not only helps you out, but simplifies everything, can be such a game changer.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug and I love movies.
That was pretty damn good.
Thank you very much.
This is the best I could hope for.
Coming to you once again from the Creek and the Cave in Austin, Texas.
It's Friday night.
Pass my bedtime.
April 17th.
2026, and we are part of the Moon Tower Comedy Festival.
Give it up for Moon Tower, everybody.
I think this is Day 57.
Someone here tonight is going to go home with a bag of prizes
that I have right here on this cocktail table.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, the contents are not as exciting
as the limited edition Doug Lowe's movies Tote Bag.
I don't want to go in the tote bag business, so I appreciate that a guy made a bunch of them for me,
but I'm just giving them all away.
But you're also going to win the contents of the bag, which are a hat that says very good person.
That's how I feel about you.
You've got to made some bad choices tonight, but I think you made a very good one coming here.
This is, you're going to love this.
I got sent this by a movie company.
This is Hamnet Stationary.
The movie Hamnet.
You could like send somebody a letter like,
like your hamnet.
Well, he's just a dead kid.
I don't know what to say.
But yeah, maybe I really wasn't,
I wasn't kidding when I said the tote bag is the best part.
No, I wasn't.
kidding because hot off the
presses available
to purchase now wherever
you get your books. It's
Leonard Malton's latest
and it's called Family
Movie Night Menus
and it's Leonard
and his daughter Jesse
they pair up classic
movies with some
food that you just fucking you know
whip up
in your home and then
watch that movie.
So it's an adorable premise and a very, it's like, remember books?
Check it out of everybody.
Look, it's a book.
Bang, bang.
Okay, so then, also finally, at the bottom of the bag, a couple of pins, a Doug Benson pin and a Douglas Movies pin.
I thought there was a third pin in here.
Apologies if I lost it somewhere along the way, but it was, it said, what are they
saying, what is Rocky
and Ryan Gosling say to each
other about pump my fist?
Fist my
bump? Fist my
bump?
Yeah, I thought I had a pin that says fist my bump.
Can you imagine if I dreamt that I had a pin
that said fist my bump? And I was like,
that's going in the prize bag.
And then I woke up
and forgot that it was just a dream.
But maybe it'll turn up in a future prize bag.
But somebody's gonna win.
Somebody's gonna win.
The letter mold books, basically, what we're playing for tonight.
And a perfectly nice tote bag,
if you like a tote bag where you're not gonna have to tote much.
If you don't need a total tote,
if you just need a partial T, then you're in business with me.
All right, coming to this stage.
Are you ready back there?
Okay, they're ready.
All right, let's get them out here.
Okay, she's ready.
Please welcome.
Nish Kumar Best Telling and Jeremiah Wonka!
Austin, Texas, what's up?
I got to tell legends.
Wow.
Huge.
In honor.
Amazing.
That's awesome.
I booked them.
I called them.
I didn't call any of you.
I reached out over.
Instagram.
Listen, Jeremiah, this is, I think this is interesting.
Probably not.
What an opening line to a show.
I made a note to myself that I was going to ask you to sit in the middle seat and then we never had that discussion.
And then we just did it.
So that's really interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it is.
Grew mind.
It shows your professionals, but also you just happen to sit where I wanted you to.
One and three shot, not a big deal.
Okay, let's meet them all individually and alphabetically by first name.
She is on the Let Me Get Loose tour.
It's Beth Stelling.
Is this the first stop on the Let Me Get Loose?
It's like the fourth stop on the Let Me Get Loose tour.
But I did hear him now.
This is my, not my first stop.
Fourth stop.
Yeah, I think I just continue to tour.
that I named last year.
I mean, what are we even doing?
You know what I mean?
I know.
You got to name a tour this year.
I think I've been on this tour for about two years.
I was just checking in to make sure you were loose.
I'm still loose.
Okay, good.
All right.
So it's working out.
It's working out just fine for you.
And I have no follow-up questions.
Thank you.
That's what I like.
No, just that you are on a continuous tour and go to bestelling.
For tickets, please.
To get tickets to wherever.
I would love to see.
see.
You know, she'll be back.
When do you think
you'll be back here in Austin?
Maybe be, maybe be, maybe be, maybe be.
Maybe be, maybe, maybe, baby,
maybe.
That was for Doug.
Maybe I'll be back here
at the creek in the cave in November, perhaps.
Oh, is that real?
I'm trying to figure out with Rebecca, but it could be then.
Oh, okay.
She's spitball in a future date.
Kind of putting the owner of the establishment
under the fire.
You're going to make a decision.
That'd be a cool move on planning your tour.
You just tell people where you'll be.
You haven't been booked, but you just tell them that's where you'll be.
You're going to book me now.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
My calendar says I'm at the state theater, so why don't you figure it out?
I have at least 20 people here who are dying to see me.
Let us in.
I mentioned your club, but you made it weird with Pete Holmes.
Where's my...
Okay, so...
Thank you, Beth, for being here.
Happy to.
He has a special out called Nish,
Don't Kill My Vibe.
It's Nish Kumar.
Hello.
Yay.
England.
England.
No.
Guess you guys love America
and support everything that's happening in it.
The last time I saw you, you were a guest on this very same stage.
Correct.
At another festival.
South by, Southwest.
That's what they call it.
People here love hearing it in the offseason.
It just fucking ended.
Zip it.
No, what?
I said South by, and I hope they would say Southwest, but they just stared at me.
It is a call and response here.
South by.
Oh, when she does it, you know.
you'll respond.
Fucking hell.
And it was not,
it was not everybody.
There was some real holdouts on that one.
It was actually only the people in lanyards
because that's the power of the lanyard.
It really bonds us all in ways
we probably are unaware of
that we're all walking out.
Like every person in this room
thinks cults are stupid and look at us right now.
Ours is the best cult.
That's Coltsco. It's pretty good.
There's a lot of laughter.
And love.
Great having you back, Nish.
What a pleasure, Douglas.
I'm very happy to be back here.
I love movies.
You do that thing.
You get together with Brett every year
and talk about the best movies.
Yeah, Brett Goldstein has a podcast.
And he talks to people about their favorite films.
And once a year, I'm a guest on that podcast.
And we talk about everyone's our favorite films.
films from that year.
Who books that?
Brett Goldstein.
He books it.
But you do it
every year with him, you compare your lists.
That's correct, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Do you recall, what was your
number one? I'm just curious.
This year,
I had a dead heat of sinners
in one battle after another, which I think
we can all agree is a not
particularly controversial choice.
No, it's really a way of saying,
I don't want to argue with either side.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want to hear it.
I really like sentimental value as well.
I really like that movie.
There you go.
There's two folks over there.
Yeah, I really, really enjoyed that movie.
Yeah, it's, you know, it didn't win anything.
So, all right, so.
He's looking for a video editor in Los Angeles.
What?
That's my freaking intro, bro.
What the frick, dude?
I put out one Instagram post.
I'm trying to get the word out for my buddy.
I'm trying to help, you know?
What's a like gonna do?
What is it fucking like gonna do?
I'm out here doing the work.
I'm out here byron Allen
and it throwing you a line
about a thing you need to promote.
But seriously, did you find a video?
Do you know how any comics have given me crap
about this one post I've done?
I'm like, hey.
I need a video editor, email me,
and all these comments are like,
oh, you need a video editor?
Oh, is that what you need?
You can't edit your own clips anymore.
I'm like, no, I'm busy.
I need somebody to do that for me.
You've got too much video.
What are you going to do?
I think most of us are just shocked
that I have like 40 people
emailing me all the time
asking if they can edit for me.
Right, right.
Because I'm so bad at doing it myself.
You're like, please, we know you have stuff that could go out there.
I'm like, no, I don't have anything for you.
Stumped him.
Yeah, I had something else I wanted to say to Jeremiah,
but I just feel like I'm going to be ridiculed.
Well, did you find one so we can end the saga?
I'm testing someone out next week.
Don't let them do a three-month trial.
they'll drop the ball.
Okay.
Is the seat too small for, is it just my ass?
They're weird chairs.
They're weird.
I have a beautiful, bad ass.
They want butts to be a very specific size.
I need like support, for real.
This is like just so my butt can.
I hope.
Are you okay?
Do you want to, what do you, what do you think about a flat stool?
No back.
I, I'm, I've got to.
Because that's, that's in my rider is that they have to, the stools have to have back.
because, you know, sometimes I'll have people on the show
that need a stool with a back.
And these are the stools with the backs.
Who are the people?
What does it mean when someone needs a back?
Hey, listen, I want to do flash dance while I'm out there,
so can you set up the hose and get that ready?
And I'll just, for fuck sake.
There might as well not, this is almost like saying,
fuck you, you need a back.
You know what I mean?
If there's nothing here, this just would be
more comfortable if it was just this flat fucking
thing.
It's not a complaint. I just wasn't sure if it was just my
fat ass. And again, I
say that in a positive way.
We need human furniture for Beth's
telling. Who would like to volunteer?
Well, I asked for his chaise lounge,
but I didn't get it.
You know, if you need to stand
or pace, whatever you need to do,
Beth, to be comfortable, it's, you know,
Honestly, I've actually taken care of myself and I feel good.
Like most things in life, I've got it on my own.
Well, we've run out of time.
We've got to ask each of my guests a question that I ask in every episode before we play.
So that was my intro.
That was my intro, Doug?
What the frick, dude?
That was my intro?
That's just where it ends.
I just need a video editor.
That's where
I've done nothing else
I just need a video editor
to edit
on his YouTube
he also releases
stand up on the spot
on his YouTube
please watch that
Thank you
where you'll be seeing
Beth Stelling
on an upcoming episode
that we just recorded
the other night
And I'm actually in the process
of being
trialed as his new video at a time
really working hard
I actually need this to get moving
quite quickly
so I can get back to
chopping up them
clipy yeats
Yeah, so I do get a lot of emails from guys named Vish
that are trying to become my email, my editor.
So you admit it.
You just didn't want an Indian video editor.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're looking for tech help
and you're excluding Indians, you're absolutely fucked.
No one wants tech support or medical advice
from any non-Indian.
Yeah, there's an Indian guy in there.
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, that's right.
White East, we're coming for you.
This is the part of the show where I ask each of my guests.
What's the matter?
You don't want to have a race war, Doug?
I'm here on a work visa, so I'd like to retract most of those comments.
I like each one of my guests to recommend one motion picture, just one,
that you think people should...
My guests.
Don't be embarrassed.
He misheard.
He just heard me say
that I wanted everyone in this room
to recommend a movie
and don't wait for the count of three.
It's the funniest film you could have shouted.
Movie!
There's a guy called Lawrence, and he's from Arabia.
What's another good movie
that's not right to yell out with enthusiasm?
I'm going to.
go with judgment in
Durhamburg!
Triumph of the will!
Show up!
I know it's late.
This would play so much better at two
in the afternoon.
Someone in the back yelled
Amistad.
You just
made that up.
All right.
Did somebody answer
already?
Wait,
each of us
are going to say
a movie that we love?
Yeah, yeah,
and it does not
have to be
Lawrence of Arabia.
Okay,
my favorite movie
of Zootopia, too.
I don't give a shit
that no one applauded
for that.
No, that's the idea.
It sounds like nobody's seen
Zootopia too.
It was the greatest
movie of last year.
I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna say,
Hoppers is better.
Really?
Yeah, I'm gonna say hoppers.
Okay, well, look,
I haven't seen Hoppers,
but I do,
I do believe
that Zootopia 2 deserved a masker.
Yeah, you wouldn't have to take everything away from Zootopia 2.
It was so good.
I think should have been called Tootopia.
But did you think it topped the original Zootopia, Beth?
Or it was just more of the same?
I think it topped it.
Okay.
Huge fan of Zootopia 2.
Yeah, but then that those demon hunters came along.
I didn't see that.
Fuck you, Zootopia 2.
I loved it.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
You should check it out, Beth.
I did, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with one of the gals, the leads.
Arden.
She was nice.
And I disrespected her by not watching her movie.
I would like to recommend Lawrence of Arabia.
It's the least you could do for her, guess.
I genuinely did.
I hadn't seen Lawrence of Arabia.
And then it was like playing in the cinema, like, recently.
And I was like, because there's some movies, if you haven't seen them, you're like, oh, I'm going to try and see him.
Like I did it with 2001.
I was like, oh, I'm going to see it in the cinema.
And I went to see Lawrence of Ravir and I was like, that's a good movie.
David Lean, good.
And he's from Croydon, which is the same shit bit of England that I'm from.
So I'm doubly proud of David Lean.
But it's good.
It's not like you think it's going to be, it's a little bit like Oppenheimer, like it's a kind of interrogative biopic.
So you think it's going to be like, whoa, this.
Oh, I'm sorry there weren't any talking animals in it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Lawrence's friend wasn't a talking cat.
Jesus Christ.
You people deserve your president.
Hip-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
What can I say?
He's one of the good ones up here.
I'm going to edit that up real nice.
Clip it, make it a clip.
Like I do you ever.
remember to cut something out.
Like, I'm not going to worry about that
later. That's not
going to be a concern of mine.
So watch your mouths.
Fortunately, this is
a private podcast.
Only people that
wouldn't go around, you know,
talking shit about me and my guests
listen to it. Or
come to it in person.
To suck up to the people
in front of me.
Is that really your recommendation?
You're taking like this guy just yells it out
and then you saw it a week or two ago.
Is he a plant?
Is that a friend of yours out there?
No, listen, I thought it was very good.
Sorry if that's controversial.
Well, no, it's finally somebody has to say it.
What is Peter O'Toole saying?
I want some lemonade.
Yeah.
Something to that affects.
It works.
It's like the crowd will.
was apes shit when he does it in the movie.
It really is the highlight.
Jeremiah?
Hoppers, man.
Hoppers in begonia.
Now that is a double feature.
Yeah.
Yeah. Those are my choices right now.
But watch hoppers first.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Let me pretend to write these things down.
If you guys don't know, this show is going to be 10 hours long.
I actually do have a hard out at 10.39.
Beth, do you want to do your plugs before you go?
I'll be in Kansas City next weekend, and after that, okay, Bethstealing.com for tour dates.
I mean, we would have very much missed you, but these two would have really thrown down.
It would have been a battle royale between these two competitors who have such esoteric tastes in motion pictures.
They're very fond of animated rabbits and movies about lemonade.
So, thank you for those recommendations.
we are going to play some games right after these messages.

Back to the show. We're back. Oh boy, we had a lot of fun during
the break and we picked audience members for my guests to play on behalf of. To recap,
Beth chose Jarrett. J.A.E. Don't, who cares about the rest? Nish is playing for Ashley,
who has a baseball card of Jeremiah Watkins. A. Jeremiah is playing for Gumb Lady.
Kim.
Her name's Kim.
Put some respect on gum lady's name.
I'm so sorry, Kim.
I apologize,
but I like Gumlady.
Doug, can you play for Hunger, James?
Because it was a really good poster.
Yeah, it's a really good poster.
Can I play for him?
Yeah.
Yeah, if all three of you
don't get any of the questions right,
this gentleman who has gone home
with the prize bag about seven or eight times.
He's the only one that tries anymore.
Hey, did you edit that poster yourself?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You have to change my mind.
Back the fuck off.
The gig is mine.
I am not just Brett Goldstein's friend.
You know, if you're looking for something that's like Oppenheimer,
who's looking for that?
I stand by everything I've said on this stage.
I want the most depressing movie ever.
Where did I get more?
I want the not happy to continue.
continue. Okay, so what's going on? I said we're back. Did I say a dinosaur story?
Should I take over? No, I'm good. No, I got this.
Audience paper is like, yes, take over. During the, okay.
It's about to be a sleepover. Our first game today, our first game today,
was created right here in Austin, Texas,
and it's called Alex's Jason and Deb's IMDB game.
Here's how it works.
Everybody, every actor, actress has best known for
on their IMDB page where they list four films
that the algorithm or their publicists,
the actress publicists, have chosen as their top four.
And I'm going to start listing off somebody's top four.
You buzz in with your own name when you think you know the answer.
If you get the answer correct, you get one point,
and then you also get to get bonus points for every other movie in their top four that you can name.
But if you buzz in and you're wrong, then that's a negative point.
That's minus one point.
And here's the craziest part of all of it is I keep track of the score.
All right.
So does everybody understand?
You buzz in with your own name.
Okay.
I mean, I know you're likely to be like, oh, Jeremiah, that's unfair because it takes so long to say it.
Nobody was thinking that.
But it's any...
Yeah.
Vich and Ben.
We weren't thinking that.
Beth.
It's the first person to make a noise.
Yes, like Beth.
Beth is, yeah, that's like the easiest name to say.
Beth.
All right.
Ready?
The first movie in this actor or actresses best known for is,
dazed and confused.
Jeremiah?
Oh, my God.
This is a bold move because there's a lot of people in dazed and confused.
What are you going for, Jeremiah?
Matthew McConaughey.
That was a wild fun swing.
Everybody knows he's in that movie, but that is incorrect.
Oh, wow.
Negative 5,000.
Just the one point, but you can do the math however you...
5,000?
Whatever works for Beth's telling.
Thousand?
Honestly, I need all the help I can get.
Okay, the rest of you, the other two of you...
I can continue to
buzz in when you think you know it.
So far we have days of confused.
The second movie is called The Man in the Moon.
And then the third movie is to Wong Fu.
Thanks for everything.
Nish.
Julie Numer.
Yes, Nish.
Is it Parker Posey?
It is not Parker Posey,
but I never knew I would love hearing her name in that.
I mean...
Welcome to the negative club, brother.
Are you going to read more movies or no?
I can give you one more if you want it.
Yeah, go ahead.
The fourth one is the rage, Carrie, too.
I'm trying to think about...
Julie Numar, the two people that dress up and two Wong Fu,
I thought it was Swayze.
And I'm trying to think of the other person.
Don't...
You guys aren't allowed to help.
but I'm just thinking about the people
you know that's
Tuang Fu's the only one I know of all of those really
I mean I know days and confused
but I'm like everybody's in that
yeah
um
dude
let me think
I'm gonna have to put a clock on it
I'm gonna give you seven minutes
it doesn't matter
I'm just saying suzzy
no no
it's not it but I can't think of the other person
no suezzy
who is it
uh it's
an actor who goes by the name
Jason London
Oh my God
I was in a bar
He used to be at the drawing room all the time
Playing darts
That's hilarious
I thought you'd be like
Who's that?
But you know exactly who he is
I do
You don't know his filmography
All right
Beth you're doing great
Because you
Oh you did guess wrong
You could have just not guessed
I mean you didn't say that
I was like up against the wall
Yeah
Now you're all at negative one.
Should we just all be on zero?
You could look at it that way if you want to.
But either way.
You gotta get one right.
All right.
I would have never got Jason London, by the way.
Here's the second round of 24 rounds.
The first movie is chasing Amy.
Then we've got...
I should have mentioned there's a theme to this whole thing.
Then the next movie is Dazed and Confused.
Followed by Big Daddy.
And finally, this person's top four concludes with Animal.
Animal?
Animal.
I have no clue what you just said.
I'm saying the word animal.
Animal.
Oh, animal.
Animal.
Okay.
And nobody has any guess.
Nobody should have a guess.
I mean, now that I know that we can go negative.
This was a tough one.
Joey Lauren Adams.
Oh.
She was Amy and chasing Amy.
Chasing Amy is a classic, Jeremiah.
Don't make that face.
Hey, it only gets harder from here.
What?
The only hackney is Tom Cruise.
Round three.
Round three.
round three starts with rent
rent
rent
then we have
okay
what
days they're confused
all right
did you buzz in Beth
I just said all right
okay
all right all right
a beautiful mind
okay
and adventures in babysitting
Beth.
Who is it?
This is not right.
Anthony Rap.
It is Anthony Rap.
Wow.
Someone's on Zero.
This is incredible.
You could take this at Zero.
He would be so proud of me right now.
That was pretty sweet for somebody who, you know, didn't seem like you would say those words.
Anthony Rap, but you did.
I am a theater kid.
I am a theater kid.
proceeded with, I don't even know if this is right. So good job. Beth. Thank you. Yeah.
Round four. Everything I do is for Jared. Okay. Here goes round four. Are you as a family member? Okay.
Superman. Superman returns. Is that a movie? Yeah, it's a movie.
Scream 3
Blade Trinity
Yes
This isn't it
But I'm going with Skeedle Rich
It's not Skeedle Rich
You're right that you're wrong this time
It's kind of fun to get risky
So you're back down with the fellas
And of course
The fourth movie in this person
is best known for is dazed and confused.
I have another guess.
You can't double guess.
I'm sorry.
Is it Kate Bosworth?
It is not.
We finally have someone who's in last place.
Nish, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche.
Do you have a guess, Jeremiah?
Are you going to play it safe?
You're one away from being in the lead.
All you have to do is nothing.
I'm going to play it safe.
Wow.
Wow.
What a fucking pussy.
This is a fun answer because it's Parker Posey.
Oh!
Well, I wouldn't have gone to rain.
Fucking hell.
I can't believe I've watched Superman returns for nothing.
Oh, I thought you said super bad.
All right.
last super bad returns.
Which is why I said, is that a movie?
It's not. Super Bad Returns is not a movie.
Thank you.
Jonah Hill was saying he had conditions for
under which he would make a Super Bad sequel
and I stopped reading.
That's all I learned about it.
So it's like, I don't care what his reasons are.
Just fucking do it or don't do it.
He's like, I'll only do it if my girlfriend
never wears a bikini in public again.
This is round five, Beth.
This is it.
Anybody can win.
It's anybody's game.
And I think you're going to jump right in here.
I really feel it this time.
This person's number one movie on their best known for is Interstellar.
Nish.
Matthew McConaughey.
Nish.
Nish.
Nish.
Nish.
Negative one.
negative one
negative one
tied for last
you're winning
this is so exciting
this is an exciting finish listen to this
now Nish
if he can name
you know even one
other
Matthew McConae movie that made it into Matthews
top four he is going to win this
game. Dallas Buyers Club.
It's number two.
I have this list. Yes.
I'm so glad we could gather for the
Maconish tonight.
I'm going to play this episode of my visa
renewal.
We wouldn't be America
without you.
We need you here.
Okay.
You want to guess?
I'll just tell you the other two.
Can I guess it?
The interest in time.
Okay, Beth.
How to lose a guy in 10 days?
No.
Bulls gold?
Magic mic?
Yeah, magic mic.
Failure to launch.
Failure to launch.
I bet you we could sit here all night and you won't guess the fourth one.
It's number three, but you know, you won't guess it.
Mud?
Yes, that's it.
Daysing.
That was a very good clue, though, right?
You'll never guess it?
That's what made you say mud.
It was a good climb.
You never have said mud.
Mud?
Yeah, there's a movie called Mud that he's in.
Oh, it was mud.
Mud, yeah.
So that was a squeaker, but Nish won that game.
Have I got zero points?
Am I winning by virtue of having zero points?
Fucking brilliant.
I love this country.
And you're going to go, all you win is that you're going to go first in this next game.
And here's the order of the next game.
It's going to go just straight across Nish and then, no way, it's going to go around.
Nish and then, then Jeremiah.
I think I'll still be here.
Okay.
Here's the game.
It's called
How Long
Is It?
Oh.
I'm going to name a thing.
You're going to all guess
how long it is.
Whoever is...
You're really pushing it, Doug.
Whoever is closest without...
You've got to be edgy these days, Beth.
Whoever gets closest without going over.
Price is Right Style
is the winner.
of this game.
All right.
The thing I want to know about how long it is
is the length in minutes
of the Tom Hanks classic
The Green Mile.
Oh.
The length in minutes.
So now how do you feel about winning that last game, Nish?
Oh.
Okay.
this is a complete shot in the dark
it would be weird if it wasn't
158 minutes
I'm getting a big thumbs up from somebody here
158 minutes
158 minutes long yeah
which how does that translate it into hours and minutes
that's two hours and
and 32 hours and
38 minutes.
Two hours and 38 minutes.
Edit that out from...
I'll video edit that out of the podcast.
So I got it straight away the first time.
So how many...
How many did you say again?
Two hours and 30...
No, just your original guess.
158 minutes.
158 minutes.
I just wanted to give everybody an idea
of how long 158 minutes is.
They're actually going to find out
by living it.
Listen, I let you have, everybody's going to get an intermission
where we all go do whatever for a few hours.
Can we vote on no intermission?
Move me back here.
Wait, are we all guessing on this movie, Doug?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, I'm going to.
My guess is 127.
Is that, there's a woman in the audience who agrees with you?
I mean, I know it's very long.
but
that's my guess
but this was also like
I don't know
whatever who cares
what's your final answer
127
27 27
127
just why
27 seems short
that would be a short
127
I know I'm pretending
I'm not hearing the first part
of your answer
so
227 that's what you're going with
Someone in the front road
just said, can we speed this up?
Hey, listen, if you're coming to Mootaur to hear
about just random numbers
read off in succession,
allegedly guessing something.
But Jeremiah, what's your guess?
You have two seconds.
143.
Whoa.
Speedy, mother grab her.
It's 189 minutes.
189 minutes.
189 minutes.
It's a hundred and nine minutes.
It's a hundred.
189 and what'd you guess?
158.
I was off by a lot.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's a Bollywood movie.
Oh my God.
That number they do where they all step on the mice is amazing.
Oh yeah, he's made Tom Hanks his penis work.
Green Mile was in my timeline this week.
Was it in your guys?
Let me take it, let me take it.
Oh no, I've been dead.
It's a little mouse.
Let's save some of that for the commercial break.
We got one more game to play.
We'll be right back.
We're back, everybody.
Our photo game tonight is called That's Fantastic!
Because it was created at Fantastic Fest right here in Austin last fall.
And yes, so I'm excited to, I'll probably be back at Fantastic Fest again this year.
I'd be happy to.
Yeah, so we created this game there, and here's how it works.
We'll start with Nish and then go to Jeremiah and then Beth.
But Nish is up first.
I'll give you three options.
You pick one.
If it's the one I'm looking for, or the correct one,
then you'll get a point.
The first person of three points is the way.
when you miss, the next person gets a shot at it.
Can you imagine someone trying to bet on this show?
Just worry about that.
If you're wagering on this show, just don't stick with the side, you know,
don't just side bets.
Don't do fun bets.
Just do the, who's going to win.
I know where my money is right now, but we'll see what happens.
because anything could happen in this crazy game
called That's Fantastic
Here's how it works
I'm kidding, I'm not going to describe it again
First of three wids though
Nish, are you ready?
Yes
Okay, pick one of these
Danny Bauducci
Dustin Diamond or neither
Which one? There's more to it
Would that be funny?
That'd be the stupidest.
That'd be the dumbest game.
That'd be so stupid.
I might have to play that game.
Just three things, three random things.
Is this like top answers from a poll?
No, it's just three things I picked.
Oh, God.
Just so everyone knows, no context, I'm going neither.
So that's no context.
context but now I'll answer with the context.
I'll do the full thing.
Did anybody you cheat Dustin Diamond
or neither? Who was in
the movie Zombie Strippers?
See, you have
pretty much the same information
as just hearing
the three options.
I'm going to swing it
I'm going to stay with
my first answer.
Neither were in zombie strippers.
I like that you stuck with neither
because that is the correct answer.
It's fine.
My name is not definitely too long for a Jane.
J.
Jair.
Jera.
Oh, right to Jair.
What the frick now.
Whoa, he's booing.
There's no,
our own name.
Watkins is chantable.
Watkins.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, so,
uh,
did everybody just learn that for the first time?
Well, you didn't give me a proper intro.
People,
it's fine.
It's totally fine.
No, sorry.
People just stop.
I did say the thing about the video editing right before your name,
so people probably did just tune the rest of it out.
He's looking for a video editor.
What a nobody!
If you're somebody, video editors come to you.
Okay, so...
Here you go.
You're up first, Jeremiah.
I think he's second.
What?
Listen up, Beth, because if he misses it, you get a 50-50.
So it's pretty good position to be in.
Jeremiah.
Penjellet, teller, or neither.
I know my answer to that part.
But who was in a movie called Anus McGillicott?
Who wrote these?
I knew when I was.
writing this down how I would
not, how hard I would laugh at
reading it in public.
Anus McGillicuddy
is the greatest.
I think that was the movie's
tagline.
It was all about this guy,
this amazing guy named Anus McGillicuddy.
I did love it.
I'm going to say Benjolette.
No.
Beth.
How about some suspense or some build-up?
Yikes.
Good.
I'm making them for lost time that I created.
Since they have an ampersand between their names, I'm going to say neither.
Oh, because you're saying they're inseparable?
Yes.
You didn't see...
They're attached at the anus.
You didn't see Marty Supreme then.
I did see it, but I was doing other shit while watching it.
You just thought Teller probably silently stood around in one scene.
maybe like out on the porch
before Pendelet shoots his shotgun
at the guy trying to take the dog.
Oh, that was them?
Yeah. That was Pendelet in Marty Supremia.
They were together in an episode of crashing
season one. Or maybe it was two,
I don't remember.
That's it.
So what was your answer, neither?
Yeah.
Correct.
Okay.
Oh, my goodness.
So exciting.
We're back.
The odds on neither have just shortened.
We're back to Nish.
Gary Busey.
Already funny.
Jake Busey.
Or neither.
A movie called
Don't Torture a Duckling.
It's a home video.
That's things you shouldn't do to a duckling.
I'm going to stick with the form book.
I'd say neither.
You've done it again, Nish.
I am deeply competitive, and this is really hard for me right now.
Well, you're up first, Jeremiah.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wig, or both?
In the motion picture, simply called go.
Go!
If people spoke of it that way, it probably would have been a bigger hit.
Go?
Go.
What?
What?
No.
I'm going to say Kristen Wig.
Go!
Who?
He said wig
He went wig
Whig is wrong
Sorry Jeremiah
You'll get him on the next show
The movie Go
It doesn't have Kristen wig in it
Which means it doesn't have both
Oh shit somebody got you
With the ampersand
From the crowd
Could we have that man
End the person with him removed
Am I wrong
In deductive reason
Take him
Amper San
And other person out.
Sorry, what were you saying?
I'm saying by deductive reasoning
unless you wrote the question wrong.
It has to be Melissa McCarthy
because the answer is both.
Right.
But it's not both.
Because Kristen's not in it.
What kind of game show asks you what it's not?
What is it, Beth?
I'm letting you know that I can't be wrong right now.
You figured it out.
Yes.
Yeah, you got pocket aces.
Melissa.
That is correct
Thank you
Thank you
And again
This is all for Jared
Okay Nish
Here we go
Eva Mendes
Salma Hayek
Or both
Children of the Corn
Five
Field of Terror
Children of the Corn Five
Yeah
I mean
Was one of them
ladies in it
Or both of them
I'm going to swing at Eva Mendez.
Eva Mendez is correct.
You got to get one.
I know, I got to get one.
Lock in.
Come on, Jeremiah.
I used to be her video editor.
You can't win at this point, Jeremiah.
Good to know, Doug.
Let's have some fun anyway.
Toby McGuire, Jake Jelenhall, or both,
City Slickers.
We have an, oh, shit in the audience.
Do I hear a whoa fuck?
We have a yeesh.
City Slickers.
That's the name of the film.
Two?
Like the Billy Crystal?
No, not the curse of Curly's Gold,
nor the legend of said gold.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with Jake Jelenhall.
As the young Billy Crystal in City Slickers,
that was Jake's first rule.
Kids, what, kids, what kids, what kids.
Can I just tell you, the lady in the front row,
as soon as I said, it goes, no.
She lost all faith in me, and guess what?
I got one on the board.
Wait, is it one or is he just out of the hall?
I'm still negative. I'm still negative, Beth, okay?
No, come on.
I think you've got zero.
He got a win, and that, of course,
is going to go in the anus of history.
So don't you, don't you sweat.
there's somebody out there
writing down all the stats
and then throwing them into the garbage
or just putting it on
micro-fiche
all right
god damn
okay
congratulations to
Beth and Niche we have
Nish we have to have a
tie-breaking round
of this game
Jeremiah, I got that last point
so it was on the way to Beth's turn
so Beth, you get first crack at this
if you win, if you get this one correctly,
you win the game and the person
you're playing on behalf of Jared
he's going to get the prize bag
and he's got some lovely stationary
in there so he can practice
writing his weirdly spelled name.
It's perfectly spelled.
For those listening at home,
Jeremiah just opened his prize and ate it.
Yeah, he's really working.
He's working that gum.
We're up to piece three.
He's on his second piece now.
Third.
It's piece three.
He's bringing out four.
This is like me in third grade.
You're going to want to save some of those.
The crowd is chanting Icarus.
It's 1119 and you have to say
you don't assume a crowd
at a comedy show is going to pull out an Icarus reference.
P-6.
How long do you think it'll take for you to do the whole pack?
It's called anticipation and buildup, Doug.
What I could have used during some of the answers
what I said before you said wrong
as soon as I left my mouth.
Oh, you thought it was going to be getting
right if we let a little air in there?
Let it breathe.
Yeah, let it percolate.
How many pieces of each
are you in your mouth now?
There's only three left.
Correction.
Oh my God. Four.
Oh. Full disclosure.
Hey, who else has gum? Anybody else
have gum? It's quite damp.
Does anyone, anybody
who contributes to Jeremiah eats too much
gum. That gum had...
There you go. There's some over there.
It had got slightly
sweated on in my side. Oh, there's, somebody's
concerned about...
He's gonna die.
Don't let him eat
any more gum. What a whiteer go.
She just says there ought to watch it happen.
It's disgusting.
Haven't you ever seen Willie Wonka?
You're gonna turn into a blueberry.
Oh no.
I'm a schnawsberry.
Hey, hey.
My culture is not your costume.
All right, we have to break this tie.
Beth.
Yeah.
You got to get this one right.
All right.
Antonio Banderas, Lucy Lou, or both in Ballistic X versus Sever.
Yes, there's a film called Ballistic, colon.
I'm going with both.
X versus Sever.
That's telling is our winner!
Jared!
Jared!
Jerry!
Jerry!
Jerry!
I could really hear
the ballistic X versus Sever fans
light up in the crowd.
They just knew it.
This guy clocked it immediately.
Like literally the second he was like,
yeah, there we go.
I know that.
I know that one.
And, you know, I made that last one that way
because, you know, we do need a winner,
and it's Beth's telling once again.
Well, this is going to be fun, Beth,
because you get to pick someone for me to call a shithead
at the end of the show.
Anybody you want, I have to say it.
I don't have to own it,
because I think people hear this part
where we talk about how you're forcing me to say it.
But anything you want me to say,
who do you want me to call a shithead?
I mean, is anybody into that?
This guy right here is...
Yeah.
Call him that.
This guy right here.
What's your name, sir?
The Rock.
Hayden.
So I'm just going to say, what?
Hayden.
With a P or an H-A-D-E-N?
Yeah, H-A-Y-D-N.
I'm so good at this.
What is it, Beth?
H-A-Y-D-A-S-in-Kristinson.
Hayden.
I know I was doing the gum as a bit, but this is delicious.
I bet.
I'm going to have that for dessert later.
So much gum.
There's a lot of shitheads in the world, and you're just guessing that this guy's a shithead based on hearsay.
I'm glad you volunteered.
All right.
It's nice to have a volunteer.
It is nice.
All right.
And it's good for somebody to be self-aware, you know?
What would you like to promote, Beth, Steli?
I have a special, I mean, we're calling anything that these days.
it's on YouTube and it's called
we're looking for people who do huge
numbers on social media.
And it's on my YouTube.
So follow me so I can get another special
someday. Thank you, Beth.
Thanks for having me.
I had fun.

like to promote, buddy?
Hey man, I'm all over the road, man.

Like nobody else rallied, but you and I,
You and I, that made me legit happy, bro.
I also respected that moment for you.
You want my gum, man?
We should guess the size of that gumball.
No, we should get out of here.
Howly half of us have done our plugs.
Nish, what would you like to promote?

uglier comedians?

hot-looking comedians?
Do you want an average-looking guy
that has a big nose?
Time for Doug plugs.
Doug plugs.
Yeah, I saved them for the end tonight
because when I do them in the early part of the show,
people get too excited.
And as you can hear, some people are still,
