Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey! Hello everyone. I brought out my own bottle of water, and then there's one sitting here. Don't need that. I'm going to put them down here. I'm going to cleverly hide them under the table, because I don't need an entire audience of people
Starting point is 00:00:35 here at the UCB Theater just staring at my water, wishing it was theirs. Maybe I'll have a water giveaway at some point during the show. Hey, that was the I Love Movies theme song by Hard and Firm. Hard and Therm, why would they be called that? Hard and Firm. Are you guys sick of hearing that song yet?
Starting point is 00:00:55 No? Okay, good. It kind of gets into your brain a little bit. And they do lots of great shows here at UCB, so go to ucbtheater.com for more information. I love performing here whenever I'm in Los Angeles. And this is the home of I Love Movies at handheldcomedy.com. We do this at kind of a strange time of day to expect people in Los Angeles to come out and see a show. So I am always blown away by the people that come out.
Starting point is 00:01:28 And I would like to show my appreciation in next week's episode, which actually tapes in a little while. And so you guys will see more about that, those of you that are here live, a little later. Here's the part where I tell a joke. Or my version of one. It's kind of like the monologue, but there's only one log.
Starting point is 00:01:54 And it has mono. I have to say that the movie Little Miss Sunshine is really, really growing on me. Like, with each repeat viewing, I like it more. And I guess the reason I enjoy it more each time I see it is because I prefer watching it on DVD in the privacy of my own home
Starting point is 00:02:13 where I can masturbate. Especially that last scene. All right, my guest... Oh, children. My guest today was, speaking of children, my guest today was one of the stars of the instant classic TV show Freaks and Geeks, not to mention he's had guest starring roles
Starting point is 00:02:39 on some of my other favorite shows from Ed to Entourage to Undeclared. Please give a big warm welcome, everybody, to Sam Levine. Let's hear it for him. He's here. You like Ed? I love Ed, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I fucking love that show. If I could have sex with a TV show, it would be Ed. The guy in the wheelchair was awesome. The guy from Stella and the State was awesome. I'm not good with names. Phil, I think, was his name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:11 What was the name of that other guy that was on there? Mike Starr. Yeah. Good guess. That's exactly the one I was thinking of. That's the one nobody ever knows his name. You are going to be good at the Leonard Maltin game. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Was Mike Starr still on Ed when you went on it? Or was he gone? He was not. I don't want to say he was a regular. I think he was like a 10 out of 13 kind of thing, because there were some episodes he wasn't in, but he was still billed as a regular. And you were in a non-Mike Starr epi? I was.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Oh, wow. I think I was in two non-Mike Starr epis. Are those on DVD yet? I don't know. Sure. No, don't say they are. If they're not, people will watch out. I donodes. Are those on DVD yet? I don't know. Sure. No, don't say they are. If they're not, people will rush out.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I don't think they're on DVD. People will rush out to get those Ed DVDs. They will rush out. And they'll accidentally buy Ed TV and go, what the fuck is Woody Harrelson doing in my Ed?
Starting point is 00:03:59 They will be horrified. I got Woody Harrelson in my Ed. At Jenna Elfman's eyebrows in Ed TV. You watch it and then you're like, wow, he was right. Her eyebrows look weird. Just watch. Ed always had good girlfriends.
Starting point is 00:04:13 He had that ongoing thing with Carol. She was a cute actress. But then all of his girlfriends I would find attractive. Really? Yeah, he did pretty well, that Ed guy. Tom Cavanaugh, he gets out there. What's her name? He was loveable. Rina Sofer was one of them. Rina Sofer, she's pretty well, that Ed guy. Tom Cavanaugh, he gets out there. What's her name? He was lovebug.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Rena Sofer was one of them. Rena Sofer, she's great. Probably her best work. Next to Heroes. She's in Heroes? She did one episode so far, but now she's on 24, so I don't know. Wow, well, 24, you never can count on having a career when you're on that show. That's true.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That could end at any second. I think she'll come back. And the longest it's going to last usually is a day. That's true. Unless you're the president's brother. And you get to stick around for a while until you get killed. I don't want to hurt your point. So Sam Levine, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:05:02 It's a pleasure to have you on the show. It is my pleasure to be here. I know we've been talking about it for a while. Months and months. I know that sometimes you're in the audience at the show. Most of the time. You're like a fan. I am.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I'm a fan first. Then guest second. Then guest second. Okay, well, that's good to know. Yeah. That's a pretty good excuse if this doesn't work out. Well, I was just sad I was a fan first. Well, I'm just sad I was a fan first. Sorry, man.
Starting point is 00:05:25 I'm just covering my ass here. So tell us what you've seen lately. That's my question I usually come out of the box with. Finally saw Children of Men. Yay! Finally you get to agree with me. I do. I never disagreed with you.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Number one movie of 2006. I don't know about that. What do you think is number one movie? I don't know. What would you go with if you dare say Children of Men is not number one? That's a good question. Stick your fucking neck out. You know what?
Starting point is 00:05:55 I'll recant it. If I had to pick a film that I liked best from 2006, it would be Children of Men. If I had to pick a word that I'd like you to never use again, it would be recant. Sorry. I would like you to recant your use of you to never use again, it would be recant. Sorry. I would like you to recant your use of recant. I recant my use of recant. If that's at all possible. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:06:12 There's no take backs, and you don't have to apologize for anything. Okay. You're wonderful. Then I won't. Thank you. All right, so you couldn't come up with another movie out of the probably hundred that you saw last year. Literally a hundred films. You couldn't come up with another one out of the probably 100 that you saw last year.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Literally 100 films. You couldn't come up with another one that's even close to children's films. I didn't think we were going to be doing a year end. Did you see the Borat picture? I did see the Borat picture. Would you put that close to number one? I would say it's in the top three. I know you're going to go, now it's number three.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Now you've got three. Where's that other mystery movie? I don't know. You don't know what it is? I'll tell you what I liked. Jackass number two. Oh, okay. I like that three. Now you've got three. Where's that other mystery movie? I don't know. You don't know what it is? I'll tell you what I liked. Jackass number two. Oh, okay. I like that, too.
Starting point is 00:06:49 There you go. That was in my top five. That was a great, great movie. All right. Well, let's stop dwelling on the past. Let's talk about what are you looking forward to seeing? The Transformers movie. So you're looking way forward.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Well, July. You're looking forward to July. You've got like five months of waiting sure give or take this or take this broadcast a few weeks from now you're right you're right okay uh what about bridge to terabithia uh not is terabithia anywhere near Narnia? Because I need a ride. It's near Neverland. Those movies have zero appeal to me. Zero.
Starting point is 00:07:30 By those movies, you mean things based on books? All books. No, I just... The movies that are heavy in the fantasy world. Like, I know everyone says, Oh, it's beautiful. You have to see Pan's Labyrinth. No, I don't. So if it was Bridge to New Brunswick, you'd probably check it out.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I love New Brunswick. If it was about New Jersey. If it were about New Jersey. And its various bridges. And the lovely people who dwell there. All right. No, I agree. I can't get too fired up about it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I saw the Narnia. It's not related to Narnia, is it? I hope not. I don't think there's even a connection. But now it's just going to be movies that seem like Narnia. It's not related to Narnia, is it? I hope not. I don't think there's even a connection, but now it's just going to be movies that seem like Narnia. Yeah. You know? Oh, Chronicles of Narnia?
Starting point is 00:08:12 Well, how about Bridge to Terabithia? They sound the same. How about... Of course, I can't think of another one now. Because it's made up. It's fucking made up words. I can't make up words like these Terabithia people can. What about Ghostwriter?
Starting point is 00:08:28 I don't think I'm going to... From Mark Steven Johnson, the man who directed Daredevil and Simon Birch. Really? What? Really? What a weird list of credits that guy has. Well, I did two pictures based on comic books,
Starting point is 00:08:42 and one based on a thick book by a former wrestling coach. Craziest thing about Simon Birch. Or current wrestling coach. Maybe he still does it. But when I watched Simon Birch, I was watching it on cable the first time I saw it. And I missed like the first ten minutes. Yeah. And so I'm watching the whole movie.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And I don't know if you guys have seen the movie. Just as it ends, it cuts back to the present. And we see who's been narrating. And it's Jim Carrey. Out of nowhere nowhere i had no idea he was in the film i'm watching a kind of you didn't recognize his voice narrating no i wasn't expecting it really like when like when uh the mother got hit in the head with the baseball and she died and then the narrator goes all righty then you didn't that wasn't like a moment where you thought this might be Jim Carrey? I didn't, I guess not.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I wasn't, I wasn't on my, listening with my Jim Carrey ears. I guess not. I can't, I can't see a 30 second TV commercial without trying to figure out who the narrator is or who the voiceover is. TV commercial without trying to figure out who the narrator is or who the voiceover is. Because whenever it's just voiceover actor hired to do a voiceover, it's fucking aggravating. Because
Starting point is 00:09:51 most commercials now, it's Alec Baldwin or Richard Dreyfuss or somebody. And so when it's just somebody you can't figure out. Yeah. Hawking Budweiser. Yeah. What is drinkability? I don't know, George. What is it? I bet Danny DeVito knows.
Starting point is 00:10:09 But yeah, so I love figuring out who they are and then pissing everybody off by saying it out loud first. Oh, is it a game in your household? Oh, it's second only to the Leonard Maltin game. It's a good game. If there's a voice, I'll fucking tell you who it is,
Starting point is 00:10:25 whether you want to know or not. Two seconds into Forrest Gump, I'm like, that's Tom Hanks. I think that one's too easy, Doug. Well, yeah, you do kind of see him in the credits. It's all right. And hear him. So I forgot to bring a time piece again. I'm really terrible at hosting a show somebody
Starting point is 00:10:46 should take it away from me it's like it's like i have a baby that i shouldn't have oh dear yeah and i forgot to crack the windows and leave a bowl of water just a bowl yeah a baby could figure it out you know babies get thirsty enough they'll figure out how to drink from a bowl. They don't need a stupid bottle. You're probably right. When they're really thirsty. Instinct just kicks in. They'll just pound on the glass every tit that walks by.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Let me have some of that. So, Sam Levine's been in some movies, you guys. He's not just a TV actor. That person is very upset with that. I don't think the microphones are going to pick that up, but somebody screamed a blood-curdling scream backstage. You were in Pulse with Kristen Bell.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Kristen Bell, yeah, in Pulse. Is she as cool as Veronica Mars or just a good actress? Both. I don't watch the Mars. Good answer. You don't watch the Mars? I was on it. You were on Mars. I don't watch it.
Starting point is 00:11:52 And you didn't watch it? No. Not even the episode you're on? I watched that one. That's what, okay. Because I'm selfish. What kind of seasoned veteran are you that when you do an episode of Eve, you don't sit down and watch it with the rest of your family.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Did you know that? Really? It's not on here. It's not on my notes. Oh, really? But I'm a good study. You really are. I really learned all about Yes, Dear, and you were in something called Felching, I think.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I think it's called Frenching. Oh, Frenching. You were in something called Frenching. It was a short film right it's only 13 minutes long so i assumed it was about felching you guys know okay then really there would be troubled laughter if more people knew what felching was doug more people need to know maybe that should be my new wrap-up slogan this is doug benson saying more people need to know about felching spread the word need to know about it.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Spread the word. If for only reason, just avoid doing it, because you don't want to do it on accident. You really don't. It's something you really should be fully committed to. You were Dirk in Club Dread. I was Dirk in Club Dread. A.K.A. Broken Lizards Club Dread. Let me finish the question, please. My bad.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Why were you in Beer Fest, A.K.A. Broken Liz in Beer Fest, aka Broken Lizards Beer Fest? Couldn't you find your ID? I don't know. Sam looks much younger than he is, for those of you listening at home or wherever you listen to this. Still playing high school kids occasionally, right? No, I haven't done
Starting point is 00:13:21 high school. You've broken out of that? It's all college now? It's mostly college now, yeah. Well, that's cool. Yeah. What if somebody asked you, like, if it was a really cool project to play a high school student again? Could you go back? Could you do it? I mean, as long as they believe I'm a high school age, it's not like I'm turning down jobs.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Well, I mean, you've never acted like... Even on Freaks and Geeks, you seemed like you were, like, 37. I don't know about that. But you looked a lot younger. I don't know about that. But you were wise beyond your years on that show well that's thank you that was not wise enough to not be a fucking geek but still pretty wise you are correct you were like you know who you really reminded me of i don't know if we've ever had this conversation maybe not dana gould you did
Starting point is 00:14:00 that's what dana gould would be like when he was a little kid, if you guys know who that is. So what'd you do in Club Dread? Because I saw that, but I forgot you were in it. I played the youngest person. It's basically this island. It's supposed to be like, what's Jimmy Buffett's? The Buffettville? Oh, Margaritaville?
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, Margaritaville. Where it's like this island that everybody goes to, and there's no cell phones and computers, and you just get drunk and have sex with everybody. And so it's a ripoff of that. We got a guy named Coconut Pete, which is Bill Paxton. Right. And he has this island, and basically... Is the answer anywhere in what you've been saying? Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:41 So all these people come to get drunk and have sex, and I'm this supposedly 15 or 16-year-old kid who has snuck onto the island. Who somehow got on the island. Yes, and wants to just drink and have sex. Do you have any friends with you that are your age, or you're the only one? I'm the only one. And you snuck in somehow.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And I sneak in and get loaded and make fun of... Oh, they show you getting drunk? No, they don't. All right. But you'd have to assume I am. I act like a dick the whole movie. Maybe you wouldn't assume I am. You're in it like throughout the whole movie you're in it?
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yeah, I mean, I get killed in that thing. I saw that shit. I can't even imagine it. How do you get killed? I get electrocuted in a pool. Nice. Oh, wait, you're applauding my electrocution? Oh, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Thank you. Yeah, he liked you. He liked your death scene. I died very much. Thank you. Yeah, he liked you. He liked your death scene. I died very realistically. Yeah. Now, according to IMDB, you were listed under Miscellaneous Crew, right? Yep. For the voice of Artie in Wet Hot American Summer.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That is correct. What up with that? I will tell you what up with that. The film Wet Hot American Summer, there is a character in it who is the camp DJ. And you hear him doing voiceover throughout the whole film. Yeah, just like meatballs. Exactly. Chris Makepeace.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Yeah. And there's even from My Bodyguard. No, actually, Bill Murray is the DJ. Oh, you're right. But Makepeace is in it. But Makepeace is there. And so there's even a small storyline with the character who's the DJ. You even see him a couple times.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And for one reason or another, after they finished principal photography, David Wayne, the director, and the other producers felt that the kid that they hired to do the DJ didn't quite have the right sound. He had the right look, but not the right sound. And so they asked me if i would come in and dub his lines and they just give you like a special thanks in the credits because they don't want to i guess i i get yeah i guess that poor kid down i guess i don't know it's like when somebody does the singing for right now like someone in a musical yeah usually they don't
Starting point is 00:16:39 the person they don't say that yeah they maybe they give a special hush hush yeah all right so that's the story behind that. Really exciting. That poor kid. Has he worked again? I think he has. I'm sure he's fine. On his IMDB page, does it say Face of Artie?
Starting point is 00:16:56 Face and Body of Artie. I hope it does. But not the voice. That's happened a few times. What's her name? Andy McDowell. In Tarzan. They replaced her voice with Glenn Close. And that's
Starting point is 00:17:09 when Glenn started getting a lot of work. Not really. I don't think that that's accurate. If they ever make That's So Raven the movie, would you want to be in it? Absolutely. Yeah? Absolutely. I tell you, you do one episode of That's So Raven,
Starting point is 00:17:25 and I now have a lifetime of getting stopped by nine-year-olds. Which sounds weird now that I say it out loud. Yeah, getting stopped by them. It impresses. Do they issue a citation? When you're out on a date and a couple of cute, unassuming kids get, Were you on That's So Raven? Yes, I was, little children.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Then the dates, I was, Oh, you're so good with kids. This is my evil plan. And now I've given it away on the air. I refer to almost everything you do as being That's So Raven. And this is a question I ask everybody. Have you ever worked with Alec Baldwin? I have not i've
Starting point is 00:18:05 come very close well thank you for being here okay how did you come very close to working how does someone know i might have come close but i'm not aware of it well all right i don't want to say any names or or anything because i don't want to get people in trouble okay because it actually still might happen oh well then yeah don't uh don't ruin it. But suffice it to say that... Because the powers that be that are making this picture that you're referring to love my podcast. Well, maybe... They listen to it on their iPod
Starting point is 00:18:35 when they're on the treadmill in the morning. Relatives listen to it. You know how word of mouth spreads, Doug. I do. So there's a chance you still might work with Alec Baldwin. There's a chance I might end up working with Alec Baldwin. All right. Well, you know, as soon as you've worked with Alec Baldwin, you're the next guest on this
Starting point is 00:18:50 show. Oh, boy. Because I've asked every guest since this show started, practically, and none of them have worked with him. All right. I have an Alec Baldwin story, if you'd like to hear it. I'm not in it, but it's pretty entertaining. What do you mean you're not in it?
Starting point is 00:19:02 I'm not in the story. What kind of stories are you telling that you're not in? I think you'll enjoy it if you let me tell you. Who else is in it besides Alec Baldwin? Studio and network people. Ooh, okay. Yeah, see, now it gets exciting. Wait, but won't this get you in trouble with the Alec Baldwin Project?
Starting point is 00:19:16 Probably not, and I'll tell you why. Do you have a title, Alec Baldwin Project? I'm going to quote right now that I cannot vouch for the validity of this story. Okay. Because I was not in the room. All right. So this is a made-up story. This is not a made-up story.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I'm going to bet this is an almost 100% true story. This story is many years old now. Back in the year 2000, you guys remember how they brought the fugitive back to TV briefly? Tim Daly. Tim Daly. That's right. Apparently, before Tim Daly, they wanted Alec Baldwin to play the fugitive. And what did he say?
Starting point is 00:19:45 Too much running. No. I guess, I don't know. At first, he seemed on board with it. But I guess then he kind of was on the fence about it. And so it was basically the last minute. Everybody gets on the conference call. We want to make sure everyone's on the same page.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Like all the network execs and all the studio execs were in one room and Alec was on location somewhere and so they had him on speaker and his agents and whatnot were in another room and everyone's listening
Starting point is 00:20:13 and so they're, you know, okay, Alec, we're all ready to go. You know, Richard Kimble, you're going to be the fugitive. It's going to be great. And Alec says, yeah, yeah, but let me just go over this one more time.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Richard Kimble, what's his deal? says, yeah, yeah, but let me just go over this one more time. Richard Kimball, what's his deal? They're like, well, his wife has been murdered, and he's freed himself from prison, or he's been convicted of her murder, and he's looking for her killer. And then Alec
Starting point is 00:20:39 goes, yeah, yeah, how about this? Richard Kimball goes from town to town, and he fucks chicks. And there is a pregnant pause in all rooms where they're just waiting for him to crack up, and it doesn't happen. And so finally, like, the producer is like,
Starting point is 00:21:02 Alec, hang on, maybe we didn't explain it well. His wife, he was in love with his wife and she's just been brutally murdered. And he wants to find her killer with his last ounce of freedom. He goes, yeah, no, I just feel like it'll work better if he doesn't, you know, if he could just go from town to town and fuck different chicks. And then the president of CBS gets on, Les Muvos, and he goes, Alec, his wife is dead. Freshly dead. He can't deal with it. He's crippled by, he needs to find her killer.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And Alec goes, yeah, he's over over that now and then tim daly got the part that's my story well in tim daly's defense he probably pitched that also but they said no to him and he said well okay we'll do it your way probably well that's i'm glad that alec baldwin held out for the uh character of the studio executive who lives in one town and so far hasn't fucked any chicks. That's true. That I've noticed on 30 Rock.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Well, just dig a little deeper. That's what time will do to you. Eventually, he probably every year was up for several different shows and pitched the, how about he goes from town to town fucking chicks? Yeah. And then everyone just was so
Starting point is 00:22:27 so down on it. Eventually he will get that show. I bet you Tina Fey is smart enough that she went okay we'll do that. And then just gave him this.
Starting point is 00:22:38 And then gave him the yeah and then he just goes in every day and says his lines and wonders where the where the travel and the chicks are. She's crafty enough to pull it off. She really is.
Starting point is 00:22:49 She's crafty enough to pull off Mean Girls. That's true. Speaking of Mean Girls, I hear that you're very good at the Leonard Maltin game. I feel like I'm pretty good at it. That was a good segue. It didn't end up having anything to do with Mean Girls, other than it's one of the several titles, several thousands of titles. Several thousand titles in the book.
Starting point is 00:23:08 That are in the Leonard Maltin book. So am I asking you? If you want, you want to do one of each? It's that time. That's how fast this show goes by. That was very fast. It's time to play the Leonard Maltin game. I feel like we barely talked about movies.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Well, we did a little bit. Can I just quickly, there's just one movie I want to really Just tear into And it's Dreamgirls And here's why Why didn't you do that When we were talking About current movies Well I forgot about it
Starting point is 00:23:33 Then man I'll make it quick Dreamgirls does not Deserve an Academy Award Nomination for Best Picture Well it didn't get one And I'm glad And I'll tell you why
Starting point is 00:23:43 Because the movie musical Is a dead genre. In today's atmosphere of films, it just doesn't have a place like it used to in, say, the 50s. And here's the thing about Jennifer Hudson. I don't begrudge her the Academy Award that she will probably win. But I'm just bothered a little bit by it because when people are like, oh, did you see Jennifer Hudson in Mean Girls? Everyone always thinks of what a great singer she is in the movie. And we're not giving her an Academy Award
Starting point is 00:24:08 for best singing. That's what the Grammys are for. So I'm a little bit bothered by that, that she's probably going to win an Academy Award because she's a good singer. That's all. That's an excellent point. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I wasn't listening to any of it. It's all right. I was just doing it until I found the movie. It would probably be a fiery debate if I was paying it. It's all right. I was just doing it until I found a movie. So I would probably, it would probably be a fiery debate if I was paying attention. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:24:30 But, the singing is still part of the performance on camera. I just think it's wrong to compare her singing in a movie to, you know, to someone not singing
Starting point is 00:24:43 in another movie. And her heart Wrenching acting that she didn't like Notes on a scandal You can't compare those two One is a hard craft that Cate Blanchett has spent 20-30 years Of her life developing and the other is just
Starting point is 00:24:57 A natural talent that she's obviously harnessed I don't think anyone would give Jennifer An award based on Her acting in the movie, that's all I'm saying I thought An award based on her acting in the movie That's all I'm saying I thought it was pretty good Her acting in the movie was Academy Award worthy I thought she was a fireball

Starting point is 00:27:17 And no Academy Awards. Sharon Stone. Not sure if she's related to Danton Stone. Don't think she is 1991 These last two names would give it away If it gives it away at all It might be the conundrum
Starting point is 00:27:34 Elizabeth Perkins Remember when she was in movies? She had a good run She's awesome on weeds She is awesome on weeds. She is awesome on weeds. That's the most hated, hateful person. And the star of this movie,

Just those two. Well, he's not in Platoon.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Well, I've definitely not seen the movie, so I'll have to dig into my brain of what, 1991? People are whispering in the audience. Do you guys know in the audience collectively? And it's a funny title to whisper because it just sounds like you're whispering about whispering. Because it's called He Said, She Said. Oh, right. I have never seen He Said, She Said. Alright. I have never seen He Said,
Starting point is 00:28:26 She Said. So that was a good pick. Alright. Well, so I see where we're going now. That's going to be the ongoing excuse. No, no, no. I will fully take... Explain to the audience the brag that you did to me. I gave a brag earlier today. That you were in
Starting point is 00:28:41 borders with your brother playing this game For an hour And you got every single one right Every single one correctly Except for You didn't tell me the exception There was one I didn't get
Starting point is 00:28:54 It was from the 50s We opened up the field I like to try it to be within The last 20 years I smoke a lot of pot. Let's not get ridiculous. All right, let me give you one more since you're so good at it. Okay, well, then I want to give you one.

I sure hope those singing people don't win. Okay, here we go. I hate it when people sing in a movie and then win an award for it. Are you ready? They just figured out how to harness their God-given talent.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Cate Blanchett had to work! She did! She's amazing. She had to train to talk like a person. Academy Awards every time she acts. A person named Sheba. Just the fact that that character's name was Sheba was an acting triumph. To overcome that obstacle.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I hope there's somebody named Sheba in this movie. There is no one named Sheba. There are some funny names. What year was it? 1990. What do you think about that? Flintstones Viva Las Vegas. No, I think you're considerably off on that.

She's the last name. Tiny part. Tiny part. Probably some sort of government official that yells at some other character briefly. I think that that happens in this film, yeah. Okay, keep going.
