Starting point is 00:00:00 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. For millions of businesses, that tool is Shopify.

That was pretty damn good.
Starting point is 00:01:36 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.
Starting point is 00:02:08 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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,
Starting point is 00:03:17 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
Starting point is 00:03:37 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
Starting point is 00:03:53 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.
Starting point is 00:04:11 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
Starting point is 00:04:43 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.
Starting point is 00:05:04 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.
Starting point is 00:05:31 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?
Starting point is 00:06:12 I got to tell legends. Wow. Huge. In honor. Amazing. That's awesome. I booked them. I called them.
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:07:59 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,
Starting point is 00:08:08 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:41 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.

Starting point is 00:09:23 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.
Starting point is 00:09:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:03 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
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:15 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
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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?
Starting point is 00:12:10 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
Starting point is 00:12:28 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?
Starting point is 00:12:43 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
Starting point is 00:13:00 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,
Starting point is 00:13:26 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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?
Starting point is 00:14:01 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?
Starting point is 00:14:26 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
Starting point is 00:14:51 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.
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:42 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
Starting point is 00:15:53 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
Starting point is 00:16:02 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
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:29 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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...
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:50 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!
Starting point is 00:18:11 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 All right. Did somebody answer already? Wait, each of us are going to say a movie that we love? Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:18:51 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
Starting point is 00:19:01 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,
Starting point is 00:19:09 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.
Starting point is 00:19:17 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.
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:56 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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?
Starting point is 00:21:08 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.
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:04 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.
Starting point is 00:22:20 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 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?
Starting point is 00:23:14 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. Today's episode is brought to in part by Shopify. When I started Doug Love's movies,

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,
Starting point is 00:26:10 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:27:04 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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,
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:08 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.
Starting point is 00:30:21 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.
Starting point is 00:30:45 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?
Starting point is 00:31:05 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.
Starting point is 00:31:29 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.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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.
Starting point is 00:32:10 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
Starting point is 00:32:21 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
Starting point is 00:32:36 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
Starting point is 00:32:47 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
Starting point is 00:33:00 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
Starting point is 00:33:13 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.
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:27 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.
Starting point is 00:34:47 What? The only hackney is Tom Cruise. Round three. Round three. round three starts with rent rent rent then we have
Starting point is 00:35:02 okay what days they're confused all right did you buzz in Beth I just said all right okay all right all right

Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:06 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?
Starting point is 00:37:32 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.
Starting point is 00:37:53 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?
Starting point is 00:38:12 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.
Starting point is 00:38:29 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.
Starting point is 00:38:49 This person's number one movie on their best known for is Interstellar. Nish. Matthew McConaughey. Nish. Nish. Nish. Nish. Negative one.
Starting point is 00:39:04 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
Starting point is 00:39:28 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
Starting point is 00:39:51 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?
Starting point is 00:40:13 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?
Starting point is 00:40:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:58 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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?
Starting point is 00:41:52 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.
Starting point is 00:42:12 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
Starting point is 00:42:35 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
Starting point is 00:42:55 158 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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.
Starting point is 00:43:35 158 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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.
Starting point is 00:44:26 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
Starting point is 00:44:36 127 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
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 But Jeremiah, what's your guess? You have two seconds. 143. Whoa. Speedy, mother grab her. It's 189 minutes. 189 minutes. 189 minutes.
Starting point is 00:45:43 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.
Starting point is 00:45:55 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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.
Starting point is 00:47:41 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
Starting point is 00:48:12 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
Starting point is 00:48:30 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.
Starting point is 00:48:56 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
Starting point is 00:49:20 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
Starting point is 00:49:39 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.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Jera. Oh, right to Jair. What the frick now. Whoa, he's booing. There's no, our own name. Watkins is chantable. Watkins.
Starting point is 00:50:16 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.
Starting point is 00:50:29 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.
Starting point is 00:50:49 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.
Starting point is 00:51:14 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.
Starting point is 00:51:55 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.
Starting point is 00:52:13 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?
Starting point is 00:52:34 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
Starting point is 00:52:53 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?
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yeah. Correct. Okay. Oh, my goodness. So exciting. We're back. The odds on neither have just shortened. We're back to Nish.
Starting point is 00:53:35 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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!
Starting point is 00:54:43 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!
Starting point is 00:54:53 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
Starting point is 00:55:09 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
Starting point is 00:55:30 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.
Starting point is 00:55:45 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.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah, you got pocket aces. Melissa. That is correct Thank you Thank you And again This is all for Jared Okay Nish
Starting point is 00:56:19 Here we go Eva Mendes Salma Hayek Or both Children of the Corn Five Field of Terror Children of the Corn Five
Starting point is 00:56:37 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.
Starting point is 00:56:55 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,
Starting point is 00:57:22 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?
Starting point is 00:57:44 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,
Starting point is 00:58:17 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,
Starting point is 00:58:38 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
Starting point is 00:58:59 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
Starting point is 00:59:17 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
Starting point is 00:59:36 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.
Starting point is 01:00:05 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
Starting point is 01:00:31 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
Starting point is 01:00:58 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.
Starting point is 01:01:23 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
Starting point is 01:01:39 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?
Starting point is 01:01:56 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.

Starting point is 01:03:03 Jared! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! I could really hear the ballistic X versus Sever fans light up in the crowd. They just knew it.
Starting point is 01:03:15 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.
Starting point is 01:03:33 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,
