Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, sweet and baby sticky seeds With 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth There's still not more that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey. Hey, everybody. Oh, there's so much stuff to carry. So much going on. I haven't even seen this yet.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It looks like a box that would have a nice dessert of some kind in it. I want to look at it. Okay. Fair enough. My name is Doug and I love movies! This! This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles, California on May Day, May 1st, 2 Oceans 12.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Since last I spoke and you listened, I did a show with Brendan Walsh at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire. And let's see what happened there. Let me read it. Several hundred students and locals packed into a brightly lit lecture hall to hear my jokes. I was like, where's the fucking podium? And Brendan played the Leonard Maltin game against audience member Victoria. She took it down, and in one round it was over. But her name tag was a cake. It was a Boston cream pie, actually actually but it looked like a cake and it was in a plastic container with a you know with a plate and then a plastic
Starting point is 00:01:53 thing on top of it and i we i decided to play a game of let's put a garbage can way on the other side of the auditorium and see if i could make, you know, throw the cake into the garbage can. And I threw it and it missed. It was very close though. And it missed. It was a really far throw. It was really ballsy of me. It was like that guy, political guy, somebody, Scott Brown or somebody
Starting point is 00:02:17 recently sank a half court shot and everybody's like, wow! And it's like, well the fucking guy said I'll try and he did it and so everybody thinks it's amazing, but he can't do it a second time. So I tried to do it with a cake, and I missed, and the thing, the plastic on top of the cake was so sturdy that the cake didn't fall out of the thing
Starting point is 00:02:39 when it hit the ground after I threw it 50 feet. So then we had Brendan try, and it didn't open up again. Then we got Nils from the front. Nils is the Jordan of the University of New Hampshire. He was in the front row and he threw it and
Starting point is 00:02:57 it didn't break open again. So the fourth time I threw it again, still missed. We never got it in the garbage. But when it hit the ground, it splattered and went everywhere. And so now that there's a dessert item sitting right here, I'm like, I'm now obsessed with the idea of throwing it. Because it's fun to throw a huge piece of dessert.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Note to my Twitter friends, please do not flood my timeline with Leonard Maltin category suggestions. One at a time, wait it out, see if that one worked. Or just send one on occasion. You know, you don't need to just, sometimes I'll open up my feed
Starting point is 00:03:40 and there'll be like 10 in a row from somebody and I just like glaze over like, can't read 10 of these and pick any of them. So, and also I generally do categories that revolve around like if it's a specific person, it's a specific person in these
Starting point is 00:03:56 kinds of movies or something. A lot of people send me something where the whole pun is based around just the name of one actor or one director. Sometimes a director or actor has only got like three or four movies and it just narrows it down too quickly and too easily and it's not as much fun for me so keep that in mind and as long as i'm mentioning oh that's so funny that i wrote as long as i'm mentioning birthdays and i said nothing about birthdays i will do a you know a famous actor
Starting point is 00:04:22 or director if it's their birthday then then that's a good excuse to make the category just about them. So you don't have to worry about those. So just submit things that are a little bit more creative, if you will. But speaking of birthdays, because now I really did. I will not give you a birthday shout-out on Twitter no matter who you are. Okay, some people I will, like famous people. no matter who you are. Okay, some people I will, like famous people.
Starting point is 00:04:48 You know, if Tom Cruise writes to me and says, hey man, I really need an RT on my birthday. I'm gonna go, you got it. Everyone on Twitter's been born. It's not an accomplishment. It doesn't deserve a retweet. There's no unborns on Twitter. Now it's time for tweet relief.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Tweets about movies. At Addison Wiley tweeted, if any of those aliens in Battleship hit Rihanna, I'm not going to like any of those aliens. Agreed. I don't want those aliens fucking with Landry or Riggins either. But I must say, my favorite part of the
Starting point is 00:05:26 Battleship Board game was the aliens. Now it's time for a Watch This, Not That. The number one movie at the box office is Think Like a Man, which I have not seen. Because thinking isn't my thing. And the number two
Starting point is 00:05:42 movie is The Pirates! Band of Misfits. Which, now at this point, really, why are they putting subtitles when it's not even, it's the first movie
Starting point is 00:05:51 out of the gate and it's got another title. Are people not gonna get the idea that The Pirates is about the pirates? Do you really need
Starting point is 00:06:00 Band of Misfits? Oh, now I get it. I thought it was gonna be about bad pirates, but these are just ones that play pranks. These ones are just misfits. They don't jump onto somebody's
Starting point is 00:06:12 yacht and gut everybody. The only time I'll accept it is The Raid Redemption, because that's an awesome movie. So watch The Raid, The Redemption, not Think Like a Pirate. I just said Think Like a Pirate. That's a movie I would watch. This has been Watch The Raid, The Redemption.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Seriously, watch it. I'll be back at the Houston Improv on Thursday, May 24th. Bring your name tags for a chance to play Leonard Maltin game against Graham Elwood. And now it's time to do this. Let's look in the prize bag. From my good friends at the AV Club, one of the writers of the AV Club, GK, she came out to see the taping we did at the Zanies in Chicago. She was right there to watch me yell at Dan Telfer.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And I had a great time. She gave me a bag, and then also, I'm pretty sure this t-shirt probably says something about the A.V. Club or something connected to the A.V. Club in some way. What's it say? A.V. Club. And
Starting point is 00:07:21 I don't know why people don't like listening to this part. I think it's i think it's really really engaging and then i also have uh for some reason somebody brought uh the second year of law and order special victims unit and also a uh i somebody gave me this i forget where i got it, but it looks kind of cool. A book called So You Created a Wormhole, The Time Traveler's Guide to Time Travel. Took two guys to write it.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Phil Hornshawn and Nick Hurwitch. Looks like a good book. You know, I don't read books. I love movies. Oh, AV Club buttons. There's a bunch of buttons. And then still from the lead-up people, who, you know, lead-up is going to happen
Starting point is 00:08:12 all over the country starting in September, I believe. And hopefully I'll show up at some of the shows. And the lead-up's a lot of fun, and you can get a lot of cool stuff if you buy tickets and go to it. And this particular case, I'm giving away Magic the Gathering. This is a premium deck series.
Starting point is 00:08:32 This is a six-card all-foil deck, whatever the fuck that means. And it's called Graveborn, so that has to be nothing but awesome, right? And some of you guys might recognize this particular DVD that just came out recently. Does anybody recognize that? All right, very cool. So please welcome to the stage Ice-T, Cake Boss, and Paul F. Tompkins. There's no need to throw chairs, Doug. I just, there was an extra chair that we didn't need. Sometimes we have four guests.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Tonight we have three. Right. And fed up to seven. But tonight we have three Fed up to seven But tonight we have three guests And you know I don't normally have an open door policy At this show But When the opportunity came
Starting point is 00:09:56 To have you three guys on at the same time I had to jump on it Paul F. Tompkins DVD It's brand new right? It's called Laboring Under Delusions Doug both of those things are true It is brand right? It's called Laboring Under Delusions. Doug, both of those things are true. It is brand new, and it is called Laboring Under Delusions. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Who did the artwork on the cover? That's pretty cool. The concept was mine, and it was the people at Comedy Central. This guy, Bruce Ryan, that I worked with on it, and he brought it to life. Did a great job. I'm very excited about it. Yes, I like it a lot. Now, Cake Boss.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Hi, Doug. Cake Boss. You know what I forgot? But very polite. It's polite to say hello to someone first. I'm a guest on your show. And then Cake Boss. That's right, Cake Boss. Have you...
Starting point is 00:10:44 You brought... I brought a cake? What else am I going to bring? I'm the boss of cakes. I could hear rumblings in the crowd that they thought, oh, it might be cake boss. Cake boss. Because you brought a cake.
Starting point is 00:10:58 That's right. That's not the way it works. You're right, cake boss. I got very strict rules about when I repeat my own name Actually, it's not my name It's more of a title Oh, it's a ladybug That's right, it's a ladybug
Starting point is 00:11:16 Because it's springtime here In Los Angeles And maybe other parts of the country as well And look, this ladybug, she got something special to say. There's a little plaque at the bottom, which is also edible, by the way. It's made of fondant, the frosting.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The ladybug, she's saying to you, I'm the boss. That's right. She's more of a bug boss. But not the cake boss. Not the cake boss, cake boss. She's more of a bug boss But not the cake boss Not the cake boss, cake boss She's more of a bug boss No, no
Starting point is 00:11:50 Why would you ever throw a beautiful cake? You're like a barbarian Like in the Game of Thrones cake that I made recently For the Game of Thrones wrap party It pictured a smoke man having sex with a barbarian lady. I'm sorry, Cake Boss.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Cake Boss. But Ice-T is here. I know. That's incredible. That's amazing. Yo, yo, yo. What's up, Doug? You're my favorite.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You're one of my top two people on SUV who are not actors but are somehow regulars on SUV. First of all, I hate to correct you on your own podcast. It's SVU. It's not Special Unit Victims. That would be a whole different show. What would be different about it?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Hold on a second. Let me pitch this out. That would be like a show about a special unit made up of victims. And that's more like vigilante justice, which, by the way, I do not approve of. So what is it really? Also, I take issue with you calling me a non-actor. I feel like I've acted long enough that I've earned my stripes as an actor.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Maybe you didn't see Tommy and the Cool Mule. Where I was the voice of a mule who was pretty cool. Well, I wanted to say that, you know, you have been in some movies, and I'm always grateful when a guest has been in some films. Like me. And Leonard Maltin, the patron saint of... Who's that?
Starting point is 00:13:32 He's a film critic. He has books and apps and stuff. Leonard Maltin. Leonard Maltin. Like Maltin milk balls? Like Whoppers? That's my favorite movie snack. You know why?
Starting point is 00:13:45 Because it's loud inside my mouth. You're supposed to be quiet in the movies, but it's like my own little rebellion going on in there. People get junior mints. They're so soft. That's for weak people. While you're watching a movie, you're killing cops in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:14:03 That's right. There's like 32 cop killers in there. I get that. That's a reference to the number of teeth you have. Listen, Cake Boss. Cake Boss. We'll be back to you in a second, Cake Boss. Cake Boss.
Starting point is 00:14:19 But Leonard Maldonballs, he he gave he gave two or less stars on a scale of bomb to five stars to all of your movies. Oh. Hmm. Let me ask you a question. Is Leonard Maldon by any chance some whack-ass old white dude? Is that possible at all?
Starting point is 00:14:45 He's at least two out of three of those things. Okay, so, like, this Leonard Maltin, right? Like, he goes to see a film like Leprechaun in the Hood. He might be like, oh, this is too much for me. Honey, get the kiss. That's what I imagine he sounds like.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah, he doesn't like scary movies. He probably don't even like magical creatures like leprechauns either. Well, they're rarely in movies that aren't scary in some way, the leprechauns. You never seen Dobby O'Gill and the Little People? For shame, Doug. I thought you loved movies.
Starting point is 00:15:21 That's fucking scary, that movie. It actually is pretty terrifying. Yeah. Thanks for having my back, Paul. Because James Bond is dealing with magical powers and forces beyond his control. I'm trying to talk to Ice-T. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:15:37 You're welcome. What do I call you, T? Yeah, you call me anything you want. Do I call you Lord? Lord Ice-T? I kind of like the sound of that. I don't mind it. Dame Ice-T? I kind of like the sound of that. I don't mind it. Dame Ice-T?
Starting point is 00:15:47 I don't like the sound of that so much. How's Coco doing? Coco's great, man. She's beautiful. We're beginning production on a new season of I Love Coco. Guess what? Spoiler alert. I still love Coco.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I thought you'd do something different in season three, but, you know, stick with what works I guess We also take it a bit literal And there's like a romantic There's a what? There's a romantic theme Like with nudity? Between a block of ice and a tin of cocoa
Starting point is 00:16:18 I think viewers will get it Like long time viewers will get that inside joke. It's like Arrested Development. You pay attention, you're rewarded later on. So, Malted Milkballs didn't give any of your movies anything higher than three stars. None of your films have gotten four stars. Not that you're responsible for the films.
Starting point is 00:16:48 You're just in them. But he gave... Yeah. You show up and do a damn good job. Yeah, thanks for making that clarification. But he gave Trespass, directed by the great Walter Hill, three stars. Yeah. That's his most favorite of the Ice-T films.
Starting point is 00:17:05 You want to know what my favorite is? I'd love to hear that. I was going to go another way, but... Ricochet. You were in that? Very insulting. I've got to see what Leonard gave that now. I was in that movie with my good friend John Lithgow.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Go-Go Lithgow was in that with you? Go-Go and I were in that together. He's been a guest on this show, too. What? Yeah. This is how I find out. I would love to have the two of you on together sometime. Maybe someday. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Who's the third person? We can't get Denzel. He was the lead in Ricochet, right? Oh, Denzel too big for that now. Yeah, so we're going to have to find somebody else. We're going to have to find somebody else to be in it. You know, the friendship I forged with John Lithgow is so vivid in my mind.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I kind of can't remember right now who else was in that movie. Oh, it's interesting. There was a movie in 1986 called Ricochets with an S on the end. Was that about a bar? Yeah, it was about a pub. Irish dude.
Starting point is 00:18:01 It was about an Irish pub called Ricochets. And, Is there a movie called TGI Fridays? Yeah, it was about a pub. Irish. It was about an Irish pub called Rick O'Shea's. And... Isn't there a movie called TGI Fridays? Kickboss, you're like... Kickboss. You're becoming the new Pete Holmes. I'm kidding! He's more like Dan Telfer.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Judging from the growth of the audience, that is not a compliment. No, I just mean it's somebody that I have to kind of remind them that I'm trying to talk to Ice-T right now. How many times did I interrupt? A billion? So sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't keep track.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Let me get my pen out. He really didn't interrupt that much. No, he didn't. Honestly. But he did jump, he didn't. Honestly. But he did jump in when I was, I'm trying to talk to Ice T. I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere.
Starting point is 00:18:51 If it makes a difference, I was not offended by that jump in. Is that what they call them? Jump ins? Yeah. When people jump in like that? Now, I understand you're paying a lot of attention to me because I got the most film cred under my belt.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah, I have you're paying a lot of attention to me because I got the most film cred under my belt. Yeah, I'm the most entertaining voice. I've never talked to you in person before. That's insulting! I'm sorry! You don't like the way I sound? We've worked together before, Cake Boss. Cake Boss, that's true.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I forgive you, Doug Batchett. I can't stay mad at you because you're like a little imp. I'm like, I'm a big imp. I'm an XL imp. You smoke your magic smoke and then it makes you a fun-loving creature. Two stars for Ricochet from Leonard Maltin and Malt Balls. There was more than two stars in it, if that's what he's referring to. Well, yeah, you can't. But if you keep talking about the quality of the film.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I say, Leonard Maltbaugh, you better watch that movie again. It was an intense movie. I remember there's a scene where Denzel Washington gets a sexy lady, forces his penis into her. I remember that. Wasn't that weird? It was weird at the time. Did you stop by the set that day?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Now it's like commonplace. You turn on an episode of HBO's Girls, you'll see that every week. You and Coco watch Girls together? People seem to get upset at that. I don't think you understand upset. Yo, yo, yo. There was laughter.
Starting point is 00:20:20 No, two people laughed. Other people, like, I heard a, I heard a, like, there was like an unheard gasp in the crowd. I just want to go on record right now. ISD is not part of the girls' backlash. It is crazy. Girls and Veep have been on for like two or three weeks,
Starting point is 00:20:37 so they're already picked up for another season, and the ratings haven't been great. That's HBO. We got to sweat it out on NBC. Me and the Bells. How often do you have to sweat it out? That show is like a staple. They'll sweat it out on NBC. Me and the Bells. How often do you have to sweat it out? That show is like a staple. They'll never get rid of it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Doug, we don't take nothing for granted. I came up from the streets. It's not like somebody hands me a TV show. That is kind of what happened, but... But you know what? First, I had to come up from the streets Also, did you know Did you know I wasn't in the first season of SVU?
Starting point is 00:21:11 What? Yeah I can't even imagine it When I went shopping in my own closet For a DVD box set to bring here I was like, I'll start people out at the beginning And I noticed I didn't have season one And then I looked myself up on IMDb
Starting point is 00:21:25 and I was like, damn, Ice-T's not in season one of SVU? It was like, to me, it was season one when I started because that was my first season on the show. But it turns out, canonically, that's the second season of SVU. That's weird that you don't know the word chronic, Gully. Chronologically.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Chronicologically. I think he said canonically, which is its own separate word. What does that mean? Doug, someone in the crowd said, your own audience has lapped you in word knowledge. Canonically? Canonically. Canonically. Part of the canon.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Oh. You learn something new every day, player. Welcome to your new vocabulary. I'm surprised. I'm glad I could open the door for you. You wrote on this DVD, you wrote, you're special to me. Yeah, and I put special in quotes. Yeah. It's like a little joke because special's in the title
Starting point is 00:22:28 of the show. That's for fun. Yeah, but you don't ever work unit into what you write on these things? I don't know if it's going to be a man or a woman who gets this thing, man. I don't want to send any mixed messages. Yeah, you probably want to stay away from victims as well.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yo, man, I always want to help out victims. How many people, how many victims do you think you've helped on that show over the years? A thousand. How many years? Oh, you knew the number right away. No, I've been keeping track. What else are you going to do? You probably have four days off a week, right?
Starting point is 00:23:03 That's right. You know, Kevin Pollak was in Ricochet with you. He was in Ricochet. I mean, of course he was. Do you think you're going to be good at the Leonard Maltin game? Do you know how it works? I don't think I'm going to be good at it. I think I'm going to be great at it.
Starting point is 00:23:23 First of all, I never even heard of this game and I'm not sure what happens in it, but I know I'm gonna dominate and destroy because that's what I do. I come hard
Starting point is 00:23:32 like a gangster pimp. Well, there's some great prizes that people can win tonight. Can I talk now? Oh, I'm so sorry. I tried to wait as long as I could, but I get so excited I want to? Oh, I'm so sorry. I tried to wait as long as I could,
Starting point is 00:23:46 but I got so excited I want to talk to you, talk about you. Have you been to the movies lately, Cake Boss? Yeah, Cake Boss. What did you see? I saw that movie
Starting point is 00:23:55 where Julia Roberts plays the mean queen because everybody's in fancy clothes and I thought, oh, Masha Gabel, there's got to be some cakes in that movie.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Were there any cakes in Mirror Mirror? Two. Two birthdays were celebrated over the course of the film? Different occasions. They were not very elaborate cakes. It was a little disappointing. No ladybugs?
Starting point is 00:24:21 None at all. It distracted me from the movie going experience because I was like, oh, if only these fictional characters called me to make the cake. So Paul F. Tompkins is here as well. Have you been to the cinema of late? And I have to thank the three of you.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I'm so used to shows where the guests are constantly stepping all over each other. And I really appreciate how the three of you. I'm so used to shows where the guests are constantly stepping all over each other. And I really appreciate how polite everyone is tonight. We discussed it backstage. I'm, of course, a veteran of the show. And I told those guys, there's a lot of crosstalk on the show from time to time. So let's try to make sure that doesn't happen. I was on board with that, because I was like,
Starting point is 00:25:06 we're not doing like, you know, what's his name? Robert Altman or whatever. Oh, his movies, they all just talk over each other. It's annoying. Overlapping dialogue, that's supposed to land realism. It's fake to me, because I live in a polite
Starting point is 00:25:22 society where people wait their turn. Yeah, like on the show Entourage, those four guys always waited for their lines before they spoke. They never interrupted each other. What I liked about Entourage was all the dead spaces between dialogue. Did you like anything about Entourage, Ice-T? I like when four dudes can hang out together and they got each other's back.
Starting point is 00:25:49 That's like me and the bells. Oh, you and the bells are tight? Super tight. Because he was the other non-actor I was joking around about earlier. Maybe you didn't see Night Shift. That Ron Howard movie that was Michael Keaton's big screen debut?
Starting point is 00:26:05 The same. No, I didn't. It's worth seeing. that Ron Howard movie that was Michael Keaton's big screen debut the same no I didn't it's worth seeing Michael Keaton's pretty funny in it he carries around like a little pocket tape recorder he's always
Starting point is 00:26:13 shouting ideas into it cause he's like an entrepreneur and it's got Shelly Long at her most tolerable man that's unkind
Starting point is 00:26:24 I also I kinda like her though actually Man, dog. That's unkind. I kind of like her, though, actually. Yeah, sounds like it. Fucking money pit. Am I right, Cake Boss? Cake Boss. Is that a yes or a no? It's both. It's like shalom.
Starting point is 00:26:49 You know, certain cultures have words that mean both yes and no. Not at all confusing. Like aloha. Like aloha. Shalom. Means yes and no aloha, right? Right. That's why when people, whenever I approach them or walk away from them, they're like, alohoha yes or no. Because they're such a laid back country. They're in or they're out. I like it.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Now Paul you're rumored according to IMDB IMDB you're rumored to be playing Jaime. Jaime. Yes. In Kill Me Deadly. We talked about this last time we did. We did. That rumor is still out there. Why isn't there a rumor still out there?
Starting point is 00:27:25 Why can't we get a new rumor going on IMDb? The project is awaiting funds. Oh. Is it on Kickstarter? It is on... I don't believe it is on Kickstarter. That's what they should do it.
Starting point is 00:27:35 They should just get on Kickstarter. The producers want to do it all themselves. Well, not the producers. The people that created the movie want to do it all themselves. And they shot some stuff like a sort of teaser trailer,
Starting point is 00:27:46 but they don't have completion funds to make the full film. Oh, but can we watch the teaser trailer? I believe so. I think it's still online. All right. It's called Kill Me Deadly. That's right. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And if you're like a wealthy industrialist... If you're an eccentric millionaire... Yeah. Then, you know, if you're Richard Branson Give him a call And say, if you put some hot air balloons and kill me deadly I will back it If Richard Branson backs it, then They could show the movie in space
Starting point is 00:28:13 Yeah, it could be the in-flight movie on the trip to space That's right I'm on the wait list for that, by the way For the civilian space trip Now, I've got another question for Cake Boss before we move on to the... I've got a new
Starting point is 00:28:32 podcast, kind of a side project if you will. A side podcast. This is exciting! It's called Dining with Doug and Karen. It's me and my friend Karen Anderson and two people. What happens then? We dine. In hell.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And we also ampersand. And that's why it's called Dining with Doug and Karen. But maybe Cake Boss could be a guest on that sometime. We could just have a bunch of desserts
Starting point is 00:28:57 that you make. Yeah. Do you know what my favorite meal is, Doug? I gotta guess. Dessert for dinner. Most parents won't allow it. The farthest they'll go is breakfast.
Starting point is 00:29:16 They think it's exotic enough for children, but every child secretly logs for dessert for dinner. You should make pancake-flavored cakes. Ugh. They should make cake-flavored cakes. Ugh. They should make cake-flavored pancakes. Shape like a ladybug. Who wouldn't want that? You gotta have a cake,
Starting point is 00:29:39 and then you get this heavy, doughy pancake. Bad idea, dog. Does anyone hunger for games? I do. Me. Let's do this. All right, so let's play a quick build-a-title. And since Paul F. Tompkins knows the game,
Starting point is 00:29:59 we'll start with him. And then we'll move to Cake Bosses Price. I probably slightly more familiar with it, even though... Somewhat. And then Ice-T, who probably has no idea. None. I think you'll figure it out as we go, though. Yo, you didn't ask me if I've seen any movies. We gotta play this game.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Real quick, Doug. Because it's a twist answer. Have you seen any movies lately, Ice-T? No, but I've seen some television recently. I've seen this show called Saturday Night Live. And I've seen this guy, Fred Armiston. And he was like imitating me.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And I'm like, who does this guy think he is imitating Ice-T? He don't sound nothing like me. So you don't like any... Has anybody ever imitated you to perfection? Not to my knowledge. I turn off the TV to hear it. You never like to hear it.
Starting point is 00:31:03 The same guy does President Obama. Is that the same guy? Yeah. Oh, I like the off the TV. You'd never like to hear it. Disgust. The same guy does President Obama. Is that the same guy? Yeah. Oh, I like the President Obama guy. He's the guy, you know, they have the one white guy that plays all the black characters because they don't have, oh, there's that one black guy that doesn't play those characters that's on the show this year. It's really weird.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Is Jay Pharoah just standing around all the time with his arms crossed? Why is all these going to Fred Armisen? I don't know about the backstage life of these people, though. Nor should you. Let's play Build a Title. Let's do it! Suggested by Robert Provost
Starting point is 00:31:37 Protocol? On Twitter. Provost Protocol. You should not have mentioned that one. That was absolutely appropriate. on Twitter. Provost Protocol. You should not have questioned that one. That was absolutely appropriate. You should have charged right in. I like to, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:54 sneak him in sometimes. He suggested, Paul, all dogs go to heaven. So you need, of course, just to help explain it to Mr. T. Do people call you Mr. T? Do you pity those fools? I feel sorry for those dumb people.
Starting point is 00:32:13 That should be your catchphrase. It applies to child molesters, too. You could say it on SUV. I just want to go on the record again. I do not feel sorry for child molesters too. You could say it on SUV. I just want to go on the record again. I do not feel sorry for child molesters. I meant dudes that expose themselves on the subway. It's good to clarify these things. I don't think I feel sorry for them either.
Starting point is 00:32:40 That's why you're such a good cop. You have no empathy for people who break the law. That's right. Yeah. Zero tolerance. The title is All Dogs Go to Heaven. All Dogs Go to Heaven. I'm going to say All Dogs Go to Heaven's Gate.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Nicely done. Weird giggle in the crowd for some reason. Oh, it started. The game didn't end immediately. All right, what do you think, gate boss? Close one, Doug.
Starting point is 00:33:16 But you can't fool me. I tried. A for effort. So all dogs go to heaven, so you need something that ends in all or the sound of all or begins with gate A for effort. It's all dogs go to heaven, so you need something that ends in all, or the sound of all, or begins with gate, or part of the sound.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Okay, I got it. Okay. I'm going to say money ball dogs go to heaven's gate. You're good at this cake, boss. Good boss. Money ball goes to heaven's gate. All right. Money ball dogs go to heaven's gate. So I was thinking it might be Legends of the Fall Dogs,
Starting point is 00:33:52 but that was money balls. Really nice. Does this make any sense to you, Ice-T? I think I got it. Okay. Let's do it. Here's what I got to say. Money ball dogs go to heaven's
Starting point is 00:34:06 gate-legged freaks. Oh. That's right. Very nice. I love horror movies. That's why I was almost exclusively in horror movies.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Did you know I was supposed to be in Terms of Endearment? What? The Jeff Daniels role. A professor at a school who's cheating on Deborah Winger. That's right. Eight callbacks.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Last thing I heard was they were going another way. Yeah, they were going for some not colorblind casting. It's not right. Wait. Yeah. That was right, right?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Yeah. It was color-sighted casting. So now we're back to Paul, who needs to finish with money or begin with freaks, which is something I say all the time. It's kind of my mantra. I'm going to finish with money or begin with freaks, which is something I say all the time. It's kind of my mantra. I'm going to finish with money or begin with freaks.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Look at me. I'm a sad goth girl in the front row. Is the stare down a regular part of your podcast. Also, sad goth is really redundant. They look happy when they have their umbrellas, right? When they're out in the sunshine. They got their umbrellas. Flying around like Mary Poppins all right money ball dogs go to heaven
Starting point is 00:35:49 gate like a freaks what do you think Paul oh it's tough because both money and freaks are movies by themselves and freaks it's always tough when the S on the Freaks is going to mess that up I think it's going to be
Starting point is 00:36:08 hard to negotiate I don't know if you're going to allow this okay let's find out there was a movie called it was just like
Starting point is 00:36:19 eight S's in a row it starred Dirk Benedict that's right so if you would allow it in a row. It starred Dirk Benedict. That's right. So if you would allow it. Let me see what Leonard has to say. Let's check in with Leonard real quick.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Yeah, because I remember there's a movie called Pfft. But I don't know about Ssss. I think, yeah, I think you're right. I think there was a movie called that. Oh, do you think so? I think so. Because Issss. I think, yeah, I think you're right. I think there was a movie called that. Oh, do you think so? I think so. Because I already knew that I was. Why, if I was going to make a movie up,
Starting point is 00:36:52 what am I, Graham Elwood? Isn't there a movie that's just an ellipses and two boats? Leonard does not recognize all those S's. Let me do a few less S's. Okay, I got the right number of S's. It's actually six S's. I was really close. Yeah, you nailed it.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Do you know who stars in it? Dirk Benedict. Oh, no, but top build above him. Helen Mirren. No, no, no. Turns out it's Strother Martin. He's the top-billed person in it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:29 That must be a great movie. He's the fit. To see some old man running around with a bunch of snakes. You snakes and I, we got a failure to communicate, or whatever the fuck he said in that movie with people eating a lot of eggs. Cool hand eggs. What? Do they ever do anything else with these eggs?
Starting point is 00:37:47 They'll make a cake, King Boss! Oh, King Boss, forget about it. I'm about to see that movie. Leonard gave three stars. You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, and Ice-T's not even in it. And yet somehow it's a critically acclaimed horror movie. Well done horror tale of a doctor who finds a way of transforming men into King Cobra what it's one King Cobra yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:38:12 why it says it that way it should be cobras right way to go let him ball ball hey do you know why I wasn't in that movie Doug why they were afraid of how I would pronounce it doing the promo for them. Yeah, they didn't want to insult you. That's ableism. Yeah. Money ball dogs go to heaven's gate legged freaks. Six S's. Now everyone's going to use S
Starting point is 00:38:43 when there's an S on the end. This is like Scrabble. There's little tricks you learn along the way. Alright, so then we go to CB. Is it me? Yeah, I think you're after Paul. Is it Mr. T?
Starting point is 00:38:59 I feel sorry for you, you dumb person. Oh, it worked. There's movies that end in money. There's gotta be, right? I don't know if there's too many movies to begin with. Can you think of some? I guess once you have this, you could just say any movie that begins with an S, right?
Starting point is 00:39:21 Oh, I hope so. I think you can. Try one, and we'll see what happens. Stop or my mom will shoot. Okay, Ice-T. We've got money, ball, dogs,
Starting point is 00:39:40 go to heaven, gate, leg, and freak. Stop or my mom will shoot. Stop or my mom will shoot. Stop or my mom will shoot the moon. Fearing drama starring Albert Finney.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yeah. That would be made me sad. And Diane Keaton. That's right. I know that's right. You're big into confirming things
Starting point is 00:40:02 that people already know. You're a defiant group. Fuck you being a little little kind to me. No, but you're three guests who don't interrupt each other, but also, you're coming at me. You got... We came to play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:18 So, we're back to Paul again. Fine. This is a great title we've got building here. Marquise or Trembling all over the world. Do you have something that ends in money or begins with moon, Paul? Yes. Moon
Starting point is 00:40:33 over Parador. Oh. Was that where Richard Dreyfuss played multiple roles? That's right. Yes, it was. It starred Richard Dreyfuss. And Richard Dreyfuss. And Richard Dreyfuss. Not Dreyfuss Not just the two You only had two parts?
Starting point is 00:40:49 I think so It was like Prince and the Pauper Yeah he looked like this dictator He should have played a third part Like a guy eating lasagna Or no spaghetti Remember in 1941 When John Belushi was just eating spaghetti
Starting point is 00:41:02 And something fell on him And he went And that was his whole That was his whole other part. I guess I have not seen that movie because I don't remember that at all. Did I say 1941? You did. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I was worried I just said something. Shoot the Moon over Peridot. Wow, that's going to be... Oh, no, it isn't. It's going to be a simple one, I think. So now we're back to Cake Boss. Cake Boss? Money ball dogs go to Heaven's Gate.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Legged freaks stop where my mom will shoot the moon over Peridot. Hmm. Okay. Think this through, Cake Boss. Cake Boss. Okay. Think this through, cakepots. Cakepots. That was weird, Doug Benson. I was concentrating too hard on movies with a door sound.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I'm gonna say... Oh. Moon over Parrot Doors directed by Oliver Stone yes I was thinking Door on the Floor but I like Parrot Doors I wasn't sure if that was a movie or not
Starting point is 00:42:15 it was it was a book first right yeah with Jeff Bridges was in the movie Door on the Floor a John Irving novel it sounds familiar. Doesn't door on the floor sound like what was the one with the cabinet
Starting point is 00:42:28 or the dresser? Okay, so we're back over to Ice-T. Were you thinking of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? Chronicles of Narnia? No. I was thinking of Eragon.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Yeah, they walk into a mini-fridge to get to a World of Dragons in that movie. Yeah, you haven't seen it. Nobody's seen it. Yeah, no one can disagree with me. I want to see this movie. The facts are on the table now. Look.
Starting point is 00:43:00 It's a mini-fridge in a Hampton Inn. Is there swords and stuff? They don't even have mini-fridges a Hampton Inn. Is there swords and stuff? They don't even have mini fridges at Hampton Inn. I didn't realize you were such a Hampton Inn expert. Well, I saw that movie Young Adult with Charlize Theron. That's right. And she goes to eat a cookie there at the front desk at the Hampton Inn. And the girl goes, that's only for our Hampton Inn special VIPs or whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:25 That's not true. If you're staying in Hampton, you get the cookies. Maybe that desk lady didn't like the cut of her jib. She was like, you look like you've got an emotional problem. Yeah, she was lying about having a dog in her bag that was moving around. You know what? Liars don't get cookies. That's right.
Starting point is 00:43:43 That's the law of the streets, Doug. Now we have the catchphrase for you on SUV. Liars don't get cookies. Liars don't get cookies. I'm gonna work that in. That will stop crime.
Starting point is 00:43:54 I'm gonna get Bell to set me up for that. Like you wouldn't believe. He'll do like a trademark shade tip. What do you think? Do you have anything that begins with doors and you can't use sss again?
Starting point is 00:44:09 Or anything that ends with money? We've never had to say that out loud. You can't use a title that's already been used a second time. Should go without saying, right? It should, but now I'm saying it. I feel like you don't trust me. Because most things that you say sound like that.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Yeah, I think I get it. You brought it up earlier. Yeah, I brought it up earlier. I didn't start it. It's one thing when I say it. Pushing my buttons, Doug. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I'll pronounce it right from now on. It's S-V-U. People on my side. We still don't got one for money, right? No, and we're running out of time. We're two minutes over. Oh, pardon me. I'm sure it's my fault.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'm going to say my fault. I'm gonna say two for the money. Yes. Yes. Who was in that? Was that Katherine Heifel? Everybody. It was a star-studded cast. Leonard Mauborg gave it all the stars in the heavens.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I'm just double-checking on that. He was like, I love this more than juice. Oh, no. I was wrong. It was Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey, and it was about professional gambling. Really? Yeah. It's true.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah, it was directed by DJ Caruso. Can you block things on your Netflix queue? I'd never want to see that. Alright, well, Mr. T has really set up Paul for a sweet spot here because he just has to come up with something that ends in the word, too. Something that ends in the word, too. But it's got to be...
Starting point is 00:46:19 Well, it could just sound like that. The word, too. It doesn't have to be T-W-O. It could be T-O-O. I would go with T-W-O. We're going with homonyms. There's thousands of movies. But there's also...
Starting point is 00:46:31 Here's why. Because the first thing I thought of was Teen Wolf 2. Which is T-O-O. Because it's fun. Works either way. You want to go with it? Yeah. Teen Wolf 2.
Starting point is 00:46:42 For the money's... bald... dogs go to go with it? Yeah. Teen Wolf 2. For the money's... bald... dicks go to heaven. It's gay. Leggett freaks stop. Oh, my mom will shoot the moon over a pair of doors. Wow. Legendary title.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I wouldn't expect these three minds to be able to pull this off. It's teamwork. Yeah, you guys are doing great. So who's up next? Cake Boss. Cake Boss. Hmm. Hmm. What does Cake Boss want to say?
Starting point is 00:47:22 Has to end in teen. Has to end in teen. Has to end in teen or begin with doors. Oh, I've already got one. Jordan's got one. Oh great, I'm glad everybody in the room has one except the cake boss. Sometimes it's not easy being... cake... ...boss. Cake boss! Oh, sicko. Comedy Bang Bang has been cancelled for the night.
Starting point is 00:47:58 It's gonna be three more hours of this. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I wouldn't say no. That's not going to happen. A lot of these people already saw a Rob Delaney show. They're getting a lot of show tonight. When was Rob Delaney?
Starting point is 00:48:18 He did a show earlier tonight, Paul. What time? At 6 o'clock, right? Where's the fire, Rob Delaney? From 6 to seven. Yeah. And he didn't... So many people in the audience backed you up.
Starting point is 00:48:32 It's true. That did happen. There were murmurs of assent all around. They were here. No, Rob Delaney could never do a show that early. It's impossible.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I'll never believe it. Who wants, or it didn't happen. Who wants to hear tweets at happy hour? He doesn't do his tweets. He doesn't do his tweets, you guys. He's got a whole comedy act. He doesn't just read his tweets. Does he do some of his tweets, though? I don't think he does a single one.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I like when people do tweets, Doug. What's your name on Twitter, Cake Boss? Cake Boss, Cake Boss. You have to say it again when you wrote your name in. That's right. Because that's what you do is whenever you recognize it, you add it again. I write it and then I delete the second one. So no one sees it, but I know that it was there.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I think you've got mental problems. Yeah. That's like some OCD. I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm on the spectrum. Safe to say. Whose turn is it and why? It's your turn.
Starting point is 00:49:42 And you need something that ends in T and begins with doors. So, you might be out. But I... Like I said, I thought of one. I feel like I'm on the edge of one. I hate to be the one that ends it. But wait, is it over or I'm just out?
Starting point is 00:50:02 Or do we have a gentleman's agreement? We'd skip you and then it's down to Paul and Ice-T to fight it out. Boy, oh boy. I mean, you're so stumped, I bet they are too. I'm trying to make noises to jog some movies from my memory. Don't give Graham Elwood ideas for how to how to stall train I don't know how to
Starting point is 00:50:28 make a train noise okay you're out cake boss still a cake boss yeah but nice try thanks for the applause everybody I played with my heart
Starting point is 00:50:39 does Ice-T have anything or are we gonna call Paul F. Tompkins the winner with his Teen Wolf 2? Put a good stopper in there. There's got to be something that ends with teen. There's got to be a bridge word
Starting point is 00:50:53 to get me from doors to something else. I can't think of nothing. I concede. I just thought of one. I've got one for both ends. Good for you, Doug. Which is another thing I like to say on weekends.
Starting point is 00:51:11 You're so good at this game, maybe you should play it sometime. I do right now, in my own way. In that cheating way. Dick Clark used to always run over on the pyramid, and he'd say one that the guy didn't think of and they'd always get it. He'd act like, I'm so great at this.
Starting point is 00:51:30 It's like, no you're not. You're sitting on the sidelines just waiting for your chance. To be fair. You're right. You're right. You're right. It's about how he died recently.
Starting point is 00:51:40 That's what I was talking about. To be fair, I think Mr. Clark was not trying to show off to people. I think he was just trying to say, would this have gotten you there? That's exactly where I'm at right now. He's not like pulling an Alex Trebek where it's like, nope, you didn't get that. And I know everything. Like, I'm Uatu the Watcher up on the moon.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I see you not get it, but I'm forbidden to interfere. I'm there now, so let's call it, let's say that Paul's the winner. Is that okay? Fine, I don't care. It's a bit of a bittersweet victory. When people were not a one by default. Of course, you could have gone with 17. 17.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes. And I fucking love this one Para Dorsen and Me Orson and Me I couldn't think of the name of that movie and I thought Orson was the second word I couldn't remember I knew Orson was in the title
Starting point is 00:52:35 hey everybody producer Ryan here Doug is thinking of the 2008 film Me and Orson Welles nicely done Paul Tompkins everybody now I'm sorry if I didn't me and Orson Welles. Nicely done. Paul Tompkins, everybody. Now, I'm sorry if I didn't explain this clearly backstage to Ice-T and Cake Boss, but the three of you now need to go out into the audience, as we always do,
Starting point is 00:52:58 and pick name tags of who you would like to play for in what will hopefully be a very rapid version of the Leonard Maltin game because we're running a little behind schedule. I'll say my plugs while you go out and do that. Jordan's right there in the front row, but he didn't bring his baseball. The one week where somebody wants to use his name tag,
Starting point is 00:53:18 he sat that one out. I'll be at the Punchline in Atlanta this Sunday, May 6th. Oh, wait, I just heard that was sold out, so I take that back. And I'll be doing the Benson Interruption at Nerd Mountain, Los Angeles on Thursday, May 10th. I'll be at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana, May 19th and 20th. No Indianapolis stop this time, so make the drive, you guys. It's only about an hour. All right, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:53:45 What do you got, fellas? I'm playing for Noah, right? Is that your name? Yes. What does it say? He got a poster of Bill Cosby. Oh, okay. Noah is a very funny fellow, right?
Starting point is 00:53:58 It's a play on the Bill Cosby routine. Well, Bill Cosby is Noah. Excuse me, Dr. Cosby routine where Bill Cosby is Noah, excuse me, Dr. Cosby. He's Noah from the Bible getting the instructions from God and it's like, this shit is crazy. That's the subtext of the bit.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Who are you playing for, Paul? I'm playing for Krista. It's very simple. It's just a name tag. Like, it's a keychain with her name on it. But you know what? She had a fresh, smiling face. And she has glasses, and I thought, the world is against her.
Starting point is 00:54:43 There are fewer libraries these days. That's right. She's got nothing to do. I'm going to fight for Krista. It's also, no, she looks like a nice person. Krista is the name of a dear friend of mine. So why not? And then, who does Cake Boss have?
Starting point is 00:54:58 Let's ask him. This one I got. So when Paul Tompkins says Cake Boss, you don't say Cake Boss? No. That's the one person that won't get a cake boss out of you when he says cake boss? Cake boss, cake boss, cake boss.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Beetlejuice is here. What happens if somebody says my name three times? Oh, they get infested with ladybugs. Not cakes. Don't anybody look in the mirror and say my name three times. You won't catch me doing cake, comma, boss.
Starting point is 00:55:29 This is who? Close one. Technicality. It's also boss, comma, cakes. Boss, comma, cakes. This one, who did I get this from? Pauline.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Pauline. Is it your name, Pauline? And who's this fellow that's been photoshopped onto the poster? Oh, that's me. What is you with a mustache? Yeah, it's like a bad guy mustache. And you got a fancy hat on, like a top hat. Yeah, it's a twirly mustache and a top hat. I like how even though it's a Photoshop picture, it's still a cheap looking top hat.
Starting point is 00:56:05 You could have got any picture of a top hat on the internet, and you got one that looks like it's made of plastic. Kickbox gets funnier every appearance that he does on these kinds of shows. I'm not trying to be funny. It's not working, then.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Did anybody write their shitheads on the back? Because that's a thing that people do. There's not working, then. All right. Did anybody write their shitheads on the back? Because that's the thing that people do. Nobody. Oh, there's one. Okay. So don't reveal that one. But we'll ask the others to come up.
Starting point is 00:56:33 This other person, they don't seem to have done it. That's true, Cake Boss. Cake Boss. Happy dog. Very. Let's burn through this. Let's do one round. I love it.
Starting point is 00:56:44 One round. Winner take all. I was just going to's do one round. I love it. One round. Winner take all. I was just going to suggest that. Well, I said it first. So I get the credit for that idea. History will show, Doug. I'm always, when it happens week to week, I'm the last person who should be hosting this show. That's what the message board says.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I just, yeah. We love everything about it. Except for Doug. Can't somebody else And we're not crazy about movies. I don't know why I listen to it.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Because of love. That's all it takes. The greatest of these is love. Okay. Paul, if Tom gets it, pick a category. Then we'll go to
Starting point is 00:57:24 Ice-T to switch it up And go the other way around And again, hopefully they'll understand how this works Stay at home buzz suggested Let the right one in And that's films made by Edgar Wright Narrows it down considerably I can think of six
Starting point is 00:57:41 At Dr. Thunderbottom suggested Probst Protocol. That's as in Jeff Probst and it's movies that have a wilderness survival kind of theme to them. And then
Starting point is 00:58:00 and then the Des... The D-E-S. D-E-S. D-E-Z. The D-E-Z. The D-E-Z. Ah, there we go. Suggested.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Who did a bee get in here? It's okay, ladybug. I want to eat that cake so bad, by the way. I know you do. The Dez suggested Me Love You Wrong Time, which is time travel romance films.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Nice work, Des. Des? I'll allow it. Oh, sure. Why not? I don't care for that. Okay, Paul F. Tompkins. Paul F. Tompkins.
Starting point is 00:59:00 I'm going to say... I'm going to choose Let the Right One In in honor of a friend of the show, Edgar Wright. Nice. He has been involved in some capacity in about six motion pictures, I think. Oh, I see where this is headed. He's not necessarily the director, perhaps. I know you're forbidden to say. He's not necessarily the director, perhaps.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I know you're forbidden to say. Leonard gives this movie three stars. The year is 2007. And he says about this film that... That it has... Is this part of it where you just read silently the movie has familiar faces in it
Starting point is 00:59:53 nice description Len if you're listening and he also says that this movie is an homage to something.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Right? Terrible clue. Considering the category. Because he's very homage-y. And did you see Homage-y with Robin Williams? No, I went by myself. And he lives.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Ha! Very, very shiny Jimmy Parker. That's a corny old joke. There are three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine names. Ten names. What's the year? And how many more names are going to be
Starting point is 01:00:52 added? I'm going with ten names. And the year is 2007. And Leonard gives it three stars. And Paul gets to start off the bidding. How many names do you think you get it in? Zero names. Impressive. Impressive. Now what happens?
Starting point is 01:01:08 We gotta go to Ice-T and explain to him that you can go into negative names. You don't gotta explain nothing to Ice-T. Okay, then you tell me what should happen right now. I'm gonna name that movie in negative one names. You've never heard the podcast before?
Starting point is 01:01:27 Nope. But you know what? I've been playing games all my life. Okay, so we gotta go to Cake Boss. Cake Boss! Who needs to possibly explain to him that you can go negative more names
Starting point is 01:01:49 and that's reading the names from the top of the can. Let me explain to you. I'm going to go negative two names. Okay, we're back to Paul F. Tompkins. That's right, we are. Cake Boss. Cake Boss? Did you expect these guys to be this competitive? I really didn't. In a game they've never even heard of?
Starting point is 01:02:09 I really didn't. Because the last time I was here, I played with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Gary Marshall. Yeah. Neither of whom could not have cared less about the game. Yeah, they were... And it was frustrating for me because I was invested. Yeah. So it's exciting
Starting point is 01:02:25 to have strong competitors. Exactly. That's probably why you brought them with you. You know why? Because that brings my game up. When I'm playing
Starting point is 01:02:34 against people who are good... You're playing better than I've ever seen you play today. I really feel like I am. You're really... You're really dominating two very strong players.
Starting point is 01:02:42 I'm going to try a little strategy here. Okay. This is crazy. And I'm going to say a little strategy here. Okay. This is crazy. And I'm going to say cake balls. Cake balls. Name that movie. Oh, you think I can't do it?
Starting point is 01:02:52 How many names do you have? Negative three? Negative two. Hey, don't add a negative three, Doug Patrick. You're just so good at it. This is a high wire act I'm performing over here. I don't need you hovering on a string and like blowing on me to tip me over.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Okay, watch your step. Would you like the clues again? Yeah. You get three names. But the clues are... What? No, what? I'm naming it a negative two names. Thank God you said that,
Starting point is 01:03:24 because I was about to start blurting out names I can't believe you're so good at this it's freaking me out all I'm doing is barely paying attention
Starting point is 01:03:36 but it's negative two negative two names it's not like quiz show but I'm gonna give you the clues again three stars from Mr you clues again. Three stars from Mr. Leonard Bolton. Three stars from Leonard Bolton. 2007.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Familiar faces. Obagi. Tell me the name of the movie and the top two billed performers in the right order. Do you know if you say Obagi at the beer three times Quentin Tarantino makes another Kill Bill movie? But I'm going to do that.
Starting point is 01:04:13 No, don't do it. I'm going to do it. I don't want to see it. Well, feet. I was right about the feet. I brought it up on the last show and everyone was like, what do you mean the feet?
Starting point is 01:04:25 Uma Thurman's feet. He got a problem. Hey, you know, like what you like. God love you, but don't shove it in my face. Especially if it's a foot. What do I do?
Starting point is 01:04:41 I give you the title first? Yes, sir. It's that movie. Hot Fudge. Just to be clear, who challenged you? Was it Paul F. Tompkins? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Just want to be clear on that. Okay, and then what are the top two billed names? Shia LaBeouf and Nick Frost. Well, that doesn't matter because the movie is Grindhouse. Oh, no. That terrible movie. I forgot all about it and how much
Starting point is 01:05:13 I didn't like it. But let me ask you. I didn't like it so much I didn't see it. Do any of you, do any of the three of you think they can guess the top two billed people
Starting point is 01:05:21 in the right order? No. I don't think so. No. It's Rose McGowan and Freddy Rodriguez. Yeah, so all that bold billing was having me go, are you kidding me? Are you really gonna
Starting point is 01:05:33 fucking knock this one out and make it happen? Well, I've disgraced my family. I've dishonored the profession of baking. And I have no choice but to later on commit ritual suicide So goodbye everybody from the cake box forever We're never going to hear from you again?
Starting point is 01:05:54 Nope How are we going to get ladybug cakes? I don't know, good luck everybody Go to the cake assistant, maybe he can sort you out But the box of cakes is to be no more. It is time I depart this mortal realm. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Boss. I haven't even... I've lost the right to repeat things that people say I know it's sad audience finally a tear jerker episode that's what the message boards were saying
Starting point is 01:06:34 not enough sad so Paula Tompkins you're our winner yeah I won and we only went over by about 16 to 21 minutes.
Starting point is 01:06:48 What time were we supposed to finish? We started a few minutes late. 8.15? Yeah, it's 8.39. But we did start about three minutes late, so. Were we supposed to end at 8.15? Yeah, it always ends at 8.15. 7.30 to 8.15.
Starting point is 01:06:59 No, it never ends at 8.15. It gets pretty close sometimes. On occasion. All right. If I think it's going to be a long one, I'll warn Scott Aukerman because I feel bad that we're cutting into... We are not taking the fall for this. I agree. You're supposed to be the captain of this ship.
Starting point is 01:07:16 You think Dan Florek would put up with this kind of nonsense? If me and the bell started straight clowning, he'd be like, get out of my office. Go solve some crimes. Also, if you do a crossover, say hi to Sam Waterston.
Starting point is 01:07:32 You're not going to fucking believe this. This is the craziest fucking coincidence. When I was looking for, I always do a category, you know, born today. Sure. And like Wes Anderson was born today, but again, that narrows it down to six movies. And Julie Benz from Dexter and Buff...
Starting point is 01:07:48 Not Buffy, but the other one. The spinoff show with the dude, Angel. Joanna Lumley from, you know, that show over in England. Well, since we're late, name ten more people. Absolutely fabulous. FF. Right, Cake Boss?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Cake Boss. That does seem like a full-on to say. FF. FF. Ooh, I like it. I am not lying to you. I almost picked it as a category. Celebrating a birthday today, 62 years old, Dan Florek. You guys have already forgotten that he just mentioned Dan Florek in his SUV riff.
Starting point is 01:08:32 You think I didn't send that guy an edible arrangement today? Who was it from? Was it from? It was from me. What are you talking about? But it was an edible arrangement made by Cake Boss? No. Cake Boss? Cake Boss? No.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Edible arrangements is fruit. It's not cake. They should call those barely edible arrangements, because you want to eat a bunch of fruit? What is this, school? Krista wins the prize bag. Where's Krista at? Where you at with your glasses? Oh, you do look nice. Yeah, I was worried you might bag. Where's Krista at? Where you at with your glasses? Oh, you do look nice. Yeah, I was worried you might not.

Oh, that's nice, calling a lady a shithead. Well, I have to do it on many shows. Surprised we could hear you from inside your suit of armor.
