Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming, baby sticky seats with 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. Coming to you once again from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles, California. It's Monday, December 15th, 2025, and this is the 12 guests of Christmas. Plus one more guest. You can see it right. there. There's 13 chairs. Yeah, I don't know who's going to get that funky one in the back row that looks like they're going to get pranked, but we'll see. It's kind of like musical chairs when I introduce everybody. They all just kind of come out and sit wherever they want. I'm anxious to get them out here because I have FOMO because they're all enjoying talking to each other backstage. Yeah, I'm like, what are they talking about?

right now probably about what's done talking about us for why doesn't he just do his goddamn show and so here we are let's do it 13 guests are you ready to meet them please welcome alphabetically by first name Amy Miller Blair Saki Chad Opitz Daniel Van Kirk Ellery Smith Jeff Tate Jenny Zagrido, Jimmy Pardo, Mark Ellis, Ricky Linnholm, Sam Levine, Todd Glass, and Trey Crowder. Obviously sit next to me. Hi, Todd. Hi, Jimmy. Hi, Ricky. Hi. Hello. As you see, we've cleverly placed, oh, there you go, Mark. We've cleverly placed three microphones amongst the 13 of you.

And so sharing is caring. And just pass it along to a microphone to whoever is being spoken to at any given moment in time. I forgot my gift bag stuff. Should I go get it? Might as well. Okay. Rick Yulinham, everybody. While she's gone.

Let's talk about her. I forgot mine too. Oh, shit. Anybody else? That girl that Jimmy just met. Yep. All right. Let's try to keep all the good stuff on microphone.

It's in to work. Right, but that's just dead air what you just did. They love it. Rick Yulinham, everybody. Yeah, there you go. I brought my own merch. Let's go. Why do I get this back?

This is always a tough part of the show because I have to go through and talk to each of the guests individually while the other 12 all are anxious to continue participating. See, Todd Glass already off microphone. I'm going to go ahead and give him the Pete Holmes Award for the evening. And this is exciting. Give Todd a microphone, please.

Let's start with you, Todd. Todd Glass, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Now we're going to go around and meet everybody, but I have four questions for you, Todd. for you, Todd. Are you ready? Yes.

Okay. Question number one. What did you bring for the prize bag tonight? I just went around Vaughn's and I just got some stuff that I figured somebody would like if they were high. Tobleroni, some gold double stuffed Oreos. I got some Christmas lights. I thought maybe someone will be at home and go, I need these.

And then I got some chocolate covered pretzels, some jelly beans. Everybody gives wine, you know, wine, but sake. You know, sometimes you get even sushi from the place. They deliver it to your house. Two bottles of, well, one bottle of sake. I got two, but I took one. And I had a $100 gift card in there that I spent. So it's all right.

It's all right. So that's there. I love you at Christmas time with the family, telling them all the things you didn't get them because you decided to keep them for yourself. Oh, right. You don't have to make a big deal. Is Tobleroni an official pronunciation?

Toblerone? That's what's called Toblerone. So, it's very hard for me to say. Okay, but on a sandwich, you like a nice slice of boulone. All right, so let's have the pepperone. All right, is it, can all that stuff fit in this bag? I think. Okay, give me all this stuff.

Jesus Christ. Holy shit, this bag is heavy. You really bought a crazy amount of heavy stuff, Todd. that is that is too generous that is really really crazy get him a microphone he's going to be great when he learns how to use one right stop you know if you weren't so mean about it maybe I'd learn oh shut up I try to make it into a fight Todd who in your life gave you a Vaughn's gift card as a present nobody did I was just doing a bit oh I guess I'm a fucking idiot Todd's always doing bits where he has friends that buy him things.

Yeah, like, why would I admit taking it out in front of you? You got to make that up to give your other friends the idea that they should be participating as well. All right, Todd. Thank you. Nice to know you. What would you like to promote tonight? Because once we get into these games, it's single elimination, which means a wrong answer means you have to exit the stage. Okay.

And we're not going to have time for your plugs then. Yeah, well, I probably won't be around long. Well, you know, I didn't pick you first for that reason, but now that you bring it up, what would you like to plug? How about go check out Jim Gavigan's tour dates. I need, he asked me. He did, he asked me, goes, I need all the help I can get. I asked Jim to do this show, and he said, I can't. I go, you know, because you're in New York, and he goes, yeah, because I'm in New York,

but also I'm busy. Really, it laid on thick. I didn't need that extra. No, you don't need that. He's busy in New York. All right. Thank you. Oh, recommend a Christmas movie.

What's your favorite Christmas movie, Todd? Oh, you know what? I probably don't know. Is there anybody you could check with? Could you check with somebody? Normally I do where I go. Let me think. Let me think.

I'm sure there's one I like. Oh, how about vacation? A Christmas vacation? Yeah. All right. That's a good one too. What's your favorite part of that one? The whole thing was just great.

I love it. He always, just something about it. I love how asking Todd a question about a movie is a total gotcha question. He has not, he doesn't do the work. You know, I don't know any part of it, but it's just the whole, I know what those movies are like, and I like them. It will do, if you like the first vacation, it will do that for you, but it's at Christmas.

Which one is your favorite of the four? I don't know. Yeah, I didn't think so. I didn't think you would know. Jimmy likes Vegas. I heard, that's what I thought you heard you say. All right. Oh, one last thing for you, Todd.

Okay, thank you. And then we'll move on. Hi, Jimmy. Who in the audience would you like to play on behalf of tonight. Oh, they're really good. There we go. It's always hard.

People brought fun name tags and posters and signs. Hey, you know what? Let Oliver, Jimmy's son, pick. Put the pressure on him. Is that wrong? Oliver, which one should I use? Yeah, Oliver, do you know

if you see one that you like? That way it's not on me. Or do you want to play for Oliver? Oh, I can play. We're not going to stay in the whole show. Wait, you're... No, no, no, I won't pick you. You're worried that Todd's going to get eliminated late?

Todd will play for you. Okay, so Todd, you have to remember that, if I ask you again later, who you're playing for, say, Oliver. Okay, is that fair? Yeah, I love it. He's here. He's in the audience. I get the feeling Jimmy's not going to let him eat all the candy,

but he's an adult now, so I'd do what he wants. And Oliver could do it. I said that. Oliver is too easy to make into a name tag because there's a movie called Oliver. You just have to add an exclamation point. Exactly. Yeah.

It's one of those yelling titles. Oliver! That's a band, but okay. Thank you, ma'am. So we're going to go when we think. So let's go to Chad. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Chad Opitz. Officially the 13th guest, the 13th person that I requested their presence

because we lost a guest today. Someone fell under the weather and couldn't make it. And so thank you for being here, Chad. No problem. No problem, Dad. All right, you want to do those four things? Just ask Todd about in whatever order you prefer. Could you repeat them?

I love to. I can, but let's hope that some people listen. What would you like to promote? I'm going to be at rooster tea feathers and Sunnyvale all weekend. Wednesday through Sunday. Love that place. Yeah. Yeah.

It'll be fun. All right. Anything beyond that? The podcast version of this will come out next Monday, but the live stream will be out before then. So you got half a plug there. We got a New Year's show and San Rafael at the Marin Showcase Theater? If you say so. I guess so.

Sounds like you're not sure. I don't know. But somewhere up there. Yeah, somewhere up there in Marin. Just say Marin plus Chad Ophitz. You'll find it. And they'll find you. And what is a Christmas movie you'd like to recommend tonight?

I think we got to watch Ernest Saves Christmas. No, I normally don't like a spoiler in the title, but is there a chance that he'll fail? Maybe. You got to watch out, because the next one he gets scared stupid. So I don't know, maybe. I mean, I heard about Kurt Cameron saving Christmas and I decided to save my money.

I got him good. What else are we missing? Who do you want to play on behalf of? Oh, yeah. There was a guy with a jingle. Would that light up jingle all the way one right there? Oh, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, what does it say?

What's your name on there? Justin all the way. Justin all the way. That's my middle name. There you go. It works nicely. Yeah, thanks, Dan. I look good on there.

I look real good on there. Woo. I'm going to keep that. There's a message on the back? Oh, does it say somebody's a shit head? Are you Sinbad on here? Is that old school? Disclaimer.

The following name tag was Port. photoshopped by a 40 year old stoner absolutely no AI was used in the making of this name tag thank you thanks Justin AI is a shithead yeah I brought a I brought a sticker of the log lady from Twin Peaks holding a hot dog that I got with my Ralph's gift card Todd gave it to him for Christmas Oh, there we go. Also joining us. That was all four questions, right?

All right. So if anybody needs to, like, grab dinner and come back, that's going to take about that long for each of these people before we begin our games tonight. And I'm excited for our next guest, it's Jenny Zagrino, everybody. Look, I'll be fast. I'll be quick with this, if I remember. what the first question was fuck

you can save that one for last okay I have a new one hour it's called afterbirth it's a show I'm going to be all over I'm going to be in London January 8th and then I'm going to be at punch lines Houston and Dallas the 21st and 22nd I'm going to be at the comedy cabin in Janesville and then some other places check out

jeniesgare.com for more times and then I brought some colored pencils all right I've been sitting on them so they're warm I hope y'all like warm ass pencils because I got them for you

all right here we go and then I'm Jewish so thanks everybody what a time so I'm a Jew and I'm not going to go for a Christmas

movie. I'm not going to go for a Hanukkah movie. I'm going to go for the classic, the Prince of Egypt, the Passover movie. Okay? Classic Val Kilmer, some other, really a sexual awakening for a lot of Jewish kids. A lot of young Jewish girls really liked that movie. And then who am I going to play for? Show yourselves. Okay. I didn't really think this through with having to turn the lights up every time. But let's get some some of the people that wrote them real small. Is that Bob? What does that say? Yours, yeah, yeah.

Bob Actually. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. That's fun. All right, you remember that, Jenny. You play for Bob Actually. And I think that you covered all of your bases. All the things

I needed you to do. Thank you. Thank you, Jenny Zegreeno. Next to Jenny, we got Trey Crowder, everybody. Oh, yeah. All right. Yeah, also on tour, go to Trey Crowder.com for my upcoming dates. In January, you got Sacramento, Spartanburg, Wilmington, a bunch of other places after that. But yeah, just go to Treycrowder.com for the gift that I brought for the gift bag.

I'm white trash, but I want to be festive, so I'm covering both bases. so I have a vape pen here, right? It's white trash, but it is festive because this is a elf bar, is what this is called. Elf bar, yeah. Stepdad's little helper, you know what I mean? The flavor is black ice, which I don't know what that's supposed to correlate to.

Doesn't sound good at all. No, I don't wait. Yeah, well, no, as a white trash, but I like, you know, I like my favorite flavor is something that sounds like a track from a stained album from 2003, that's why I like. Or whatever killed my second cousin in 2005,

Black Ice. But that's the gift of that. It was an album with a stain on it? No, stain. You don't know what stained? Oh, I see. I thought it was a stained album. This guy, I don't know, the 14 shades of grade.

Turns out it was a stained album. So, yeah. Oh, by the way, this is, I'm pretty sure, illegal in the state of California, which makes it cooler. All right, just so everybody knows. Black ice is illegal? Just any flavor that isn't tobacco flavored. Oh, I see.

Yeah, because of the kids. All right. Toss it on over. Perfect, throw. Hit it right in the hand. Right in the head. Right in the hand. Anyway.

Oh, you touched it. So now I'm going to go murder somebody with it. It's a murder weapon now. Christmas movie, right? It's very cliche. It already came up. But I mean, literally the only tradition my family had was rewatching National Lampoons Christmas vacation every year.

So I'm going to say that one again and also just add that I don't know that any comedic character in cinematic history has had a hotter introduction than Cousinetti does in that movie. He comes in about the 40 minute mark and just slinging straight heat for two minutes, just every single line. Absolutely fucking hilarious. She falls down a wheel, eyes go back and it's kicked by mule. I don't know. It's like every one of them. Fantastic. So I'll go with that one and then pick my person. I know you probably don't want me to pick you,

but I can't. So, oh. Let's hear some more of these ones. What did you write down over here. Yeah. Dungeons and Dangans? Dungeons and Dungeons. So his name's Dan, I think. Yeah, right. Yeah, I don't know. His dang name is Dan. And then what'd you write down next to Dan? Dan. The great, your name's Gatsby? Gabby. Gabby. The great Gabsby. The great Gabsby. Gabby? Gabby. The great Gabsby. How about that? That's who you're playing for? Yeah, the great Gatsby. I know that. Trey loves you. I apologize. As to you, Gigi.

Yeah, Trey loves rich southern weirdos. So excellent work, everybody. We're doing great. What? Oh, shit. What's that? I don't know what's happening. So let's go.

Sorry On mic You don't want to Yeah exactly Thank you Blair Soki everybody Hello, Doug Hi

How are you? I'm doing pretty good I see you said my name correctly this time I've said it wrong in the past Oh yeah You brought me on a so key I think as I walked on stage But that's fine

Earlier tonight Yeah No way Yeah No, I've known it's sake for a while now. Okay, it must have slipped your mind just for a brief second. Ever since the Socky Olympic Games. Totally.

I can't forget when they played in Sochi. Yeah. Did you remember the four questions? I think so. Okay. My favorite Christmas movie, I like the Tim Allen's Santa one, where he's like a deadbeat dad and become Santa. What's that called? Santa.

Oh, Santa Claus. I'm not a big... I wasn't asking you, audience. I was asking the person who brought it up and didn't know. A lot of titles slip my mind. That's why I'm so good at this game, Doug Loves movies. Yeah. And then I have a new podcast out called Spaced Out with Blairsaki.

If you want to look, check it out. And then I brought a bag of Sour Patch kits because that's my favorite candy. And then, what's the fourth one? Who do you want to play for? Oh, I know who. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your name?

Matt and Mojo. Oh, you're a double team? Father or daughter, not a double team. So not a double team. Definitely not a double team, Matt and Mojo. Here, give me those sour patch, please. Oh, yeah. Hook me up.

No problem. pick me up with the patch. Are you going to hang on to that bag? I don't know if someone wanted it. No, you should hang on to it. Thank you, everyone. You never know. Thanks. Thanks, Jimmy. Jimmy's being a roadie over here.

Working the wires like a pro. Speaking of professionals. Can't be me. That's me? I'm afraid it is. My hair's still wet. You may always be late, but I could always count on a text about exactly how late you're going to be. But I never am late for the show. No, it's true.

It's Amy Miller, everybody. Yeah, you're like, I'm late for the when you wanted me to be there, but I'm not late for the show. But I update you too much, I think. Three blocks away, one block away. I'm at the gate. Yeah, you really keep me posted, and I appreciate it. appreciate it and what's it what are your four answers um oh for the gift bag I brought this Mariah Carey Christmas Funko and then and this is a keychain that's a

nipple it's a white nipple well it's a pink nipple but it's of a white I assume and and then it's pierced and it can also be a Christmas ornament for your tree and then the rest of the year put it on your keys Pass that down? Yeah, pass it down. Oh, okay. And then for my Christmas movie, I'm going to pick Bad Santa, too,

because Jenny's in it and I love Jenny. I also love Billy Bob Thornton quite a bit in my loins, mostly. Same with Jenny. And wait, is anyone else on the panel in a Christmas movie? What? That's just a fun question I came up with. Oh.

That is fun. Ricky must be in a Christmas thing. She doesn't know for sure. Sorry if I ruined a game later. No, I feel like maybe I am, but I can't think of one. She's in Wednesday. That sounds like a terrible game, which holiday movies have you guys been in?

Because none of you have been in any. Sam, you're not in a holiday movie of anything? No. Jenny's in bad Santa too. In glorious bastards. And then what else? Oh, just follow me on Instagram, Amy Miller Comedy, and then at the end of January, I'll be in Seattle,

and all my dates are on my website, Amy Millercomy.com. And I want to play for The Little Nero's Pizza Box, man. Good stuff. Oh, thank you, Daniel Van Kirk. Wow, this is really nice work. Good job. Has anyone been to the pop-up? Do you know about that, Doug?

What pop-up? There's a Little Nero's pop-up. Yeah, it's the Prince Street pizza on Ventura Place in the Valley, and I've been there three times since they little Nero's did. Didn't take any pictures. I was just there for the pizza. The pizza's good. That Arby's that was a Prince Street pizza.

Completely gone now. Yeah, it's completely gone. Wait, there's a Prince Street pizza where Arby's in Hollywood used to be? Yeah, for a while you could do drive-thru pizza there. Holy! So the Arby's sign is gone officially? Yeah. For the listener at home, Mark is crying.

Yeah, this is not, like the Arby's was traumatic enough, knowing that they put a Prince Street in there, and now that's gone, too? It was just in there, like, a pop-up. It's like I found out I had a kid. I never knew I had, and now the kid's dead. It's exactly like that. We're just going to New Year's.

Doug, change the questions. Doug, theme it different. I'm sad about the sign, most of all. Yeah, I was sad when the sign went, but they moved it to another Arby's. Yeah. Don't tell me that, like, my dog's dead, but it's at a farm somewhere playing.

Like, I'm in Bakersfield. I'm like, hey, Uncle Doug, is that the hat? You used to be in Hollywood? The sign is thriving at a different Arby's. You can't see me winking right now. Can we go visit it, Uncle Doug? I mean, we can try to go look at it sometime. But the traffic.

I don't want to deal with the traffic All right, let's meet our next Okay, did Amy, did you wrap it up? Was that all your stuff? Yes. Good job. Good job, Amy. And here's another person

As always, that's a good job. Daniel Van Kirk, everybody. DVK. Hey, friend. How are you? I'm so good. It's so nice to see you. You're on the road all the time.

I'm trying. Yeah, you're out there. Speaking of, if you go to Daniel vancirk.com, you can keep up with my dates. Next couple stuff. I'm sort of taking off for the holidays, but if you work for ABC Supply, I'll be doing your corporate gig in Putacana, Dominican Republic. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

And then, oh, here's a fun thing. At the end of February, I will be in Portage, Wisconsin, at the Portage Center for the Arts doing a show for the town, for the city. So if anybody wants to come out in Portage, Wisconsin, I would love to see you at the end of February. Other dates and everything else is at Daniel vancirk.com podcasts and all that jazz. The gift, or, yeah, my gift is Hoopla. It's the hurry and guest pop.

I don't think I've ever said one that I absolutely love, and that's Emmett Otter's Drug Band Christmas. If you've never seen that movie, I highly, highly recommend it.

It's very, very good. Good little Jim Henson flick. And then for who I am playing for, I don't need the lights. We'll... My friend right back here holding her sign up right there. Yes, I'll play for you. Can I have your sign, Nicole?

Thank you. Wait, you know everybody's name? Yeah, you didn't meet everybody before the show? No, during the pandemic, I hated doing stand-up on Zoom, so I go, well, then I'll just do other things on Zoom, and I would dance for tips. No, I would do, like, game nights or comedy bingo and have other comics join,

and Nicole came to a lot of those shows, and so I saw her here, and I said, I'll pick her name. Yeah. Wow. That's so, so nice. Tom Hanks, it's Tom Hanks, the Nicola Express. I love it. This is all coming together so beautifully.

I'm going to do my quick impression of a man. I think you're nailing it. He's a man graduating Santa school. All right. Did we cover all your things, Dan? I believe we did, Doug. You recommended a movie? Yes, I did, Doug.

Okay. Under oath? All right. Thank you, Dan. Thanks to Dan. Next to Dan is Elery Smith, everybody. Hi. winner on the most recent episode of Douglas movies that we taped yesterday and that came

out today. And so that's how she won, she won her seat for tonight. I wasn't on the list of originally. Yeah, no, you won this spot. Didn't get the first round of asks, but I'm here now. If those other people you played against yesterday, if either of them had won, I would have asked them. No, they whipped it. I crushed them. But yeah, you definitely dominated.

And what place do you think you'll finish in here today? Oh, I don't know. I don't want to guess. Okay, that's fair. Don't jinx it. I don't want to jinx it. Don't jinx it. Yeah, I'm competitive. You know that. Yeah. What did you bring for the prize bag? I forgot. So, I have snacks from the green room and all the cash in my wallet. But I'm poor and I don't carry cash. So it might be a dollar.

People really beat themselves up when they forget to bring something like you deserve to be punished for not bringing a giant bag of groceries. Well, we don't all shop at Vons, okay? I'm a traitor-goat's girl. Captain Showoff over there. Like we're all starving in the green room back there, and he's got a bag full of treats. Doesn't even mention it. Okay, Ellery, next question.

You can see me December 28th at City Winery, Boston. Oh. Yes, come on out. Get away from your families. Come say hi. Jenny, are you going home? No, I'm staying here. Oh, good for you.

I wish I was. I am recommending the Family Stone, fun Christmas movie about cheating, yeah. It's about cheating on your partners on the holidays. Popular time to do it. And then I just have to pick somebody, right? I think you did it all. I don't know.

You're flying through it. I will do a Jessica story. Should I take that card from her? You can if you want to for, you know, Because later in the show, the two of you might... Oh, too. This is cute. Oh, it's a Jasmus story. And she's holding a gun. Or an airsoft rifle, I guess. As the movie goes. Well, yeah, it's good for you to have it because you might seem up.

Oh, a nightmare before Christmas. These are very cute. Well done. Well done to you as well, Ellery. Thank you. Good luck. Mark Ellis is here, everybody. Thank you. Douglas, always a pleasure. Yeah, we've probably already heard from you enough.

Yeah. I got to vent a little bit. It felt good. You know, got some good laughs from the comics as well as the audience. So I've really done everything I set out to do tonight. So I'll see you guys. Yeah. I brought, the gift I brought, I was actually at the gym before here,

and I was so panicked I wouldn't have a gift. I actually had to call my ex-girlfriend who lives in my building to bring it to the gym so I wouldn't be late to the show. That's inappropriate. That's emotional emmeshment. It's a lot. It's a lot. And she did it? She did it, yeah.

I feel like that's a green flag, right? To be good friends with your ex. I am friends with every one of my ex-girlfriends. Thank you. Thank you. No, that's not a... No, it's not a standing situation. It's Christmas.

It's Christmas. Stand up for Christmas. Anyway, Doug, the gift I brought, it's something near and dear to my heart. As you know, this is very tough to part with, but because I love this crowd and I love this show, I decided to donate my most prized pop toy of all time, the Funco Pop of the World's Greatest Guitar Player, Eddie Van Halen. Somebody's going home with that. That's too much. All right.

Fun fact, I'm actually for Christmas, I'm driving myself later this week to Temecula for the single purpose of seeing the Midwest greatest Van Halen tribute band Jump is playing at Yamaba Casinos. I'm going to drive four hours both ways. Which X are you taken? This girl Nicole, I dated her. I think she might be the show tonight. I don't know.

It'd be embarrassing. I really thought he said, whoa, what else? What exit are you taking? What, uh, are you going to use the turnpike? Literally, as soon as he said, I started thinking five. I started thinking 91, but I know Daniel Van Kirk is so funny. He wouldn't go with an exit joke. He would go to the next level.

He certainly pulled it off. Um, my favorite Christmas movie of all time. My favorite Christmas TV special is obvious. Garfield's Christmas. I think we can all agree. Very good. Dad would chop down the tree. Okay.

You guys should watch it. Uh, my favorite Christmas movie is a Christmas. Carol, it's not the one with Michael C. Kane or Jim Carrey, it's the one with George C. Scott from 1984 as Ebenezer Scrooge. Fantastic. And who am I playing for? Let's see. Where's the guy? I like the crampus sign, because it's fun and lights up a little bit. So let's do that one. Do the old crampus sign. Nice. All right. Can I say something, Doug?

Okay. Remember when everyone used to tape weed to the back of their name tags? Oh my god. Yeah, that was a thing for a while. Wasn't that nice, everybody? That's all. I thought Amy said that for a reason because this sign is really heavy and I turned around and I saw what looked like. I was like, I'm not good at the drugs, so I was like, is that drugs? And no, it's batteries for the light.

But I'm playing for Katie Puss today, which sounds like a... I'm going to keep it class. I see, playing for Cadypus and upcoming gigs. Big gig in Culver City, December 24th, doing a corporate gig at the Nakatomi Corporation. Excited for that one. And then I will be at the O'Hoya Comedy Store the weekend of the Super Bowl.

So Friday and Saturday before the Super Bowl, come see me in northern San Diego. Feb, 5, 6. What's that? I think that's February 5th and 6. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yeah. Yeah.

So close to a 6th and 7's joke. Oh. That all the kids are enjoying so much. Can I, can I do that on, on Saturday? You want me to try it? Like, hey, guys, tonight's six, tomorrow's seven. Oh, yeah, 100% do it. Okay.

You're going to be performing it at a Chucky Cheese or something? But Jimmy Parto said to do it. I mean, you got a couple, you got like six weeks to work it out. Okay, all right. Maybe seven. All right, pass that Funko shit over here. They went out like out of business or something, right? Funco pop, yeah, it's done.

Wow. Oh, Funko makes that game. It just happened like 10 minutes ago. I got it in my earpiece. They told me that in case anybody here is going to be devastated by the news. Would they file for bankruptcy or something happened to them? I'm just still so stuck on this story. So you went to the gym, right?

So you had time for your self-care and you didn't bring a gift and so you call your ex-girlfriend and you say let yourself into my apartment get a funco and drive it to this theater in Korea Town. She drove it to the gym which is like 10 minutes from the apartment

but I wasn't sure I'd have time to hit McDonald's and my place afterwards. I've never been as good of a girlfriend as your ex-girlfriend as your ex-girlfriend is a girlfriend. I've never been that nice to anyone I've ever dated. I would just be like, no.

Goodbye. Yeah, sorry, I'm just stuck on it. Yeah. Wait, can I ask, do you do favors for her? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You want to say that way into the mic.

Do you do favors for her? Yes, I do. Okay, that's good. Kind. Yeah, we'll give us an example. What was the last favor, Amy would like to know? I picked her up from LAX. Oh, that's big.

Okay, no, that's big. That's big. Yeah, walk out on that. Walk out on that. Yes, hero, big time. She should also brought you some cash. Can I ask a question to? Please.

Isn't it a good thing as you get older that you're friendly with your exes? Why is that a bad thing? I don't get that. That's what I thought. Not everybody can do it, but it's not. Because I'm at the gym and drive this uncle over to me. Maybe it was said like this.

I don't know. Maybe what if someone called you and he's done favors for her and he went, would you do me the biggest favor? And then she goes, yeah, no problem. And then you'll do the same for her. Like, why is that even a friend? Because most of the time they're not also doing shit for you. I'm friends with all my exes and I continue to do shit for them.

And that's why only the women up here are mad about it. Yep. Yep. Hero, she's correct. I do think your exes. having a key to your apartment keeps you from finding new people. Agreed. Have you guys thought about writing a rom-com called L-A-X?

Oh, yes. That's my favorite Christmas movie. Apologies to Jimmy Parto. I'm no longer opening with a 6-7 joke at the La Jolla Comedy Store. I'm pitching L-A-X to a focus group. This is so funny. Who knew this would derail the show? Sorry, sorry, sorry.

No, in a great way. I just was stuck. I didn't know about the LAX. I don't know which one, Mara or his ex. I don't know which one I feel sadder about with regards to, did she even, was there even a little bit of a speed bump when you had to say that it was to bring a funco pop to the, and like also, didn't she have to search through dozens of them to find the, I guarantee, I guarantee she said which one, he responded, she knew exactly where it was. If you dated me for any amount of time, you know that Van Halen is special in my heart, so

she probably knew which Funko Popper. She knew to go to the top shelf. Yeah, yeah. Keep it away from the dogs. Yeah, kind of thing. We're not going with like the, you know, Sir Bedavir pop toy. You know, we're going with, we're going with the A-plus one. You know, this isn't like a docking pop toy.

this is what do you think it's like worth like uh you know i'm gonna go 45 in like let's say money 45 i'm gonna go 45 yeah oh oh off mike jimmy's gonna look it up give you something to do yeah you do that while we talk to rick this ricky segment rickie lindholm everybody hello everyone i i was trying to think if i was in a christmas movie and i don't know So, I don't have to, maybe Jimmy can Google that. I know, I never, I never got those, I never got. Hell, baby. Is that, is that Christmas?

I don't know. It feels charming. Oh. Knives out is kind of Christmas. Okay, yeah, we'll go with that. Yeah, we'll go with that. It's a winter movie. Yeah, it's a winter movie.

Oh, so wait. Have you seen the new one get it together, Dead Man? I did. I did. It was good. It was good. I liked it. I really liked it.

Wait, so what were the questions? So, what do I have going on? I have Queens of the Dead, which is a movie, which is a scary movie I'm in about a zombie apocalypse and a drag club. That's out, no, that's out right now. So check that out. It's really fun.

Christmas movie, Muppets Christmas Carol. Right? Yes. What else was there? I should know these questions. Who do you want to play for? Oh, I'll play for John. Yeah, I don't need your sign.

I'll remember. I play for John. like every time I see them. Yeah. Is there anything else? Has she won for you before? Oh, prize. Yes. Okay.

So I brought my own merch for the prize bag. I brought, so I have this show called Dead Inside, which I'm going to do again soon, and it's, um, see. It's a fertility musical. Yeah, it is. And then I got this dead inside hoodie. Yeah, it's a nice, it's a soft hoodie. Um, yeah.

So, yeah. You say it's a fertility musical. I say, aren't they all? And finally, with two more guests yet to go. I'm so sure that's a finally. It's Jimmy Parto! Thank you, Doug.

Thank you, everybody. I got an update on that. Mark, what was your guess? I know how much that thing was worth? $45. You're off by just a tad. you can get it as low as $14. What condition?

No, that's right. That is pristine. That's also with free shipping. So they're giving this fucking thing away. This is like you're getting at a movie game show thing. And then you can get it as high as $99. That ain't moving. Hey, here's two for 50.

So that's that. Two of the same one? Yeah, that seems like one too many. I'll say two too many. I rethought that. At any rate, that Mark, so you think I don't have

another Eddie Van Hey one pop a toy at home. I'm selling two for $25 on July. I have a backup. So, all right, I'm done with that. That's my hot bit to show I'm funny. So Mark brought something and I put a fucking bow on it.

Clean up the language. Who would you, yeah, your kid's here. Who would you like to play for today? We're jumping to the fourth question? We're going back. Let's go backwards. Good call.

We can go in any order. Well, you'd said to that question. Who wants to not win something? I predict. If I think, I mean, it's a battle between me and Todd to get out of here. Yeah, who wants just to mention? Who wants Jimmy to mention you and then not try very out? I'll mention you in a play way.

My goal, and I mean this, I've won this before, years past. I also, my, I predict tonight that I'm home by the time you announce a winner. That's my guess. That's how quick I'm out. out. And my son wants to stay, so he'll Waymo home. Uh, light him out! Can we have the house lights up, please, thank you. Holy shit.

You can't just yell, light him up. What's your tiny one say there, sir? It's a wonderful, Lou. No. No, I'll go, what is it? I think that is what it says. What is it, sir? It's a wonderful Lewis.

It's a wonderful Lewis. I'm going to be honest. I don't want to pick that one. but I have no interest to finding a second one. Louis. It's a wonderful Louis. All right.

And then, Todd, my Christmas movie is the one with Bono and Duran Duran and Paul Young. It's not very long and it's where

they sing about how they do people know about Christmas elsewhere? Oh, do they know it's Christmas? That's a, you know, very dramatic.

As a film, I love it because you're, you know, like you said, you're out in like three minutes. You're invested, aren't you?

You don't have to stay for the whole thing. Um, I, uh, I'm promoting. We're about to, uh, uh, uh, celebrate our 20th anniversary of my podcast number, not funny. Nice. I've been doing a podcast when people made fun of them. And now everybody has one.

Yeah, the respect is through the roof. Uh, Sean Hayes and I battle every day. Um, so I, I got that. And then, uh, what was, there's one more. There's, uh, what do we have? Oh, what did I bring? Yeah. I brought.

Ricky texted me and said, don't let me be the only one that brings merch. So I brought a, here's what happened. I told it backstage. I thought I ran out of T-shirts, so I ordered another batch. It turned out that I just had a box I didn't know about. So I'm trying to get rid of these things. So it's my tour t-shirt. So you'll get that.

There it is right there. Still talking 2025. And I think there's a sticker in there as well, Doug. I hope so. I mean, just the shirt. They're going to be like, what am I going to do with this shirt? Wear it? I need a sticker because that's where the real action is.

Thank you. Jimmy Pardo, everybody. There's no sticker in here. All right. All right, yeah, yeah. You find the fucking sticker. You find that sticker. What are they like, two for a hundred bucks?

Stand back and stand by. There it is. There's that sticker. Nice. You know what? I'll keep the shirt. You'll win a sticker. Give me the, give it, give it all of it.

Give it. Does this got your home address on it? Okay. Oh, that's the size large? And then Ricky's shirt is a small. Okay, I couldn't find any other size. I normally do large to extra large. There's the only ones I could find.

I was, I don't know. Well, I was just bringing it up, not to say it's a bad thing, but like whoever wins can make a new friend. It's not how I like to operate, but that's all I had. It's hard to have all the sizes for whoever might win, so don't worry about it. Guess what, everybody? Sam Levine is here.

Doug, thank you. You saved the best for last, and by that I mean Jeff Tate. But you dress the best. I'll sell you that much. much. I have to be in court after this. So you plan to pull an all-nighter? Yeah, it's night court. It's for jaywalking.

Did you just come from a function? No. No, I'm on my way to night court for jaywalking. This is real? Yes, but not in the way you think. I don't think anyway. It was not for crossing the road illegally. I was trying to redo the J. Leno segment,

jaywalking, where he just talks to people on the street. Yeah. And I got sued. Yeah, it's civil court. He didn't tell you was civil court. Civil night court.

Civil court. Now that's a movie. Everybody shows up and before everything starts, you have to sit through his monologue. Yes. And then he sits down and gets to business. I'm a Lansito today.

I'm a fucking idiot. Okay, real quick, everybody do J-Lano impression, real quick. Jeff, do your J-Leno. Todd, Todd, get the microphone when you do the funny stuff. Oh, thank you. The one joke I remember used to tell is they guess, how about these insurance companies? Are you between the ages of 50 and 80

and thinking about life insurance? What type of 80-year-old is marking around going, you know, God forbid the kids are 60 now, honey? Hate to leave them homeless. That's the best they could do. It's not easy That's as good as it's going to go I think it's easy, but it's not

No, it's a tough racket Now do Jay Leno Classic Classic Who's Jay Leno? A very popular car enthusiast. He's giving away a car at Yamava Casino. And I'm going down there to win it.

Thursday night. Van Haynay and Cover Van winning a car. Hey, Kemp, you hear about this guy? Yeah, I'll be there. You come by? You win a car. Kevin, you hear about this? Jeff Tatee doesn't know who I am.

I helped pick out the car. I was like, yeah, about that one. This Todd glass. And they're like, we can't give that one away, Mr. Leno. I was like, okay, give that one away. And they said, that's what we'll do. I didn't even know I had such a good Leno impression. Like, I didn't know I had it in the chamber.

I didn't know it was ready to go like that. It's going to open a lot of doors for you. I got a Douglas Movies pin for the prize bag also, by the way. Got to get that in there. All right, Sam. All right. Let's go. I can't believe 11 people went before me and not a one of them.

Only Mark loosely referenced it. Diehard, of course, is the best Christmas movie. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking for recommendations. I feel like we've all seen Die Hard. And you don't think most people have not seen Christmas vacation or? No, I'd say they're all bad examples of, uh, of a, of a, of a recommendation of a movie. Am I Otter? The Jug Band Christmas is a good one.

Fine, and the Star Wars Christmas spectacular. It's one of my favorite feature films. It's only 48 minutes long. What's that? I recommend the Star Wars holiday special. It's on YouTube. It's horrible. It is horrible.

It's not very good. Super quick story. I was at the supermarket a few years ago. Too long. And a lady and I struck up a conversation. She asked me what I did in L.A. I sold her as an actor. She goes, oh, my husband's a writer. I said, oh, has he written anything that I know of? And she says, oh, yeah, he wrote the Star Wars Holiday Special. And I said, that's amazing.

And she was like, oh, no, he's over there. You should go meet him. He loves it when people ask him about it. And I did. And he loved it. He loved the ass to be asked about it. man it's crazy any man I guess thank you Blair anyway so hey well here's what I brought for the gift bag was that story did I was there a story in that story that he you I met the man who wrote sarcastic at the end no he was genuine he loved it are very proud of it okay yeah this is a story

where Sam feels like he wasn't a huge dick for not telling this lady that the movie sucked. But that's a very normal thing to do. To not tell her. Yes. It'd be weird if you told her. No, it's not that I was going to tell her. It's that it's been what,

50 years and somehow he is unaware that everyone thinks it's laughably terrible. I'm sure he's aware. Okay. You know what? I'm going to go hang out at Ralph every day. Did you fake like you liked it? Like were you just like agnostic about it?

Or were you like, oh, you're, I love it. Like, did you fake liking it for him? I did not fake that I liked it, I just was excited. Why not? The guy probably needed it, Sam. About having met the man behind us. You know what, Sam? I say, fuck this couple, not for the shitty movie, but for not knowing who you are. Thank you.

Wow. That's pretty good. I thought it was a story about finding out that piece of shit had someone wrote it. I watched it. My husband wrote that thing. He'd be like, tell me, wrote that motherfucker? So what I brought for the prize back, Doug, it's a one-two punch. Everybody knows this winter's best movie is Wicked for Good. So we got ourselves a Wicked for Good ball cap.

The only movie title that is a Boston person explaining slang to people. And then you don't just want to wear the hat without the shirt. Look at that. You got the whole liberal city. and it's wicked for good for good wow that is absolute fabliosiosity as they say

in at shiz Doug Doug what do you think's worth more Pardo's merch or the Wicked merch? I'm gonna look it up I already googled that it's priceless approaching pop toy levels priceless

okay with the sticker I go Pardo yeah This is the most not soft garment I've touched in a minute. It is like burlapy. How soft are my sweatshirts? Aren't they nice? No, they're really nice. Yeah.

Those are really nice. I'm going to put your shirt in the dog bed for sure. Okay, for my plugs, you can find me at Ralph's. I'm there hanging out with the guy who wrote the Star Wars Holiday Special. I would think he's more of a Gelson's type But he wanted to be Ralphs, okay Ralphs That's what he was aiming for

He's like he's not at Johns Sam's there teaching him about erasers and whiteout No but honestly I'm on cameo I make long fun videos for everyone The holidays are coming up and you forgot to get your friend something. So let me wish him a happy something for you. That's it.

That's all I have. I should pick a name tag. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What do you think? What's left? What do you want? What's that right there?

Yeah, what is that? What is it? Oh, Batman? Batman. I am asking about the gentleman behind. And your name is what? Bat Dan. Batman?

My name's Batgammon. That'll work. Yeah, take it. I'm done, Doug. You can move on. All right, well, you're in my way. I'm not that, tall. I can't host over you.

Hey, there's weed here. What? The dirty dog. How did Amy miss out on that? Way to go. Alex. Thank you, sir. Is it okay if I get my coat?

Yeah, go get it. Okay, it got so cold. Yeah, go get your coat. Why did the nerd get the weed? It's cold out here. First off, it's geek. For the love of God, Amy, we've been over this and over this. 55% chance Ricky never comes back.

She's getting a coat because it is, you keep it nice and chilly a dynasty typewriter. Because, you know, that's how you keep people laughing, you know. You keep them alert. You know, if it gets too warm in here, we'll all just. go have a big group nap. So you get rocked up for it. Here she comes, everybody.

Look at that. Speaking of Star Wars. It's very Star Wars. It's my Obi-Wan Kenobi coat. Yeah. It's an Obi-Wan Karobi. Fun with words. Oh, we're going to have so much fun with words in a moment.

But first, last to be introduced but first in some of our hearts it's Jeff Tate everybody Jay Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Tate Jimmy were you aware of this

that this happens here grab a microphone for a sec No yeah it's kind of the point now where people chant Tate whenever I say his name name on the show.

When you say what? Jeff Tate. Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate. Yeah. I mean, it's just a rotten world, isn't it? Ha ha! I knew Jimmy would be displeased, but in a fun way. Go ahead, Jeff.

All right, I got, I've had plenty of time, so here we go. Yeah, you really had a chance to work this out. You're like an award show where their category's been way, deep in the show, and they just got to go up there and nail their fucking speech. Go. Play them off. Play them off, orchestra.

It's another board game called Made Up Movies. It's like Madlibs for movies, and it goes, this movie is a reboot of this, whatever you fill in, what a reboot, who stars in it. And then you make up the title. I got it from Grand Lion also, right? Just a coincidence.

Somehow me and Dan both got board games from Grand Lion. Not like one of us forgot to bring something. And the other one had two in the back. That didn't happen. I'm telling them what didn't happen, Dan. And I want to play for that sign right in the front that I've seen a bunch. We don't even need to turn the lights on, right? What is it?

We're back. Shocking things that Jimmy was saying during the break, but we'll all try to just pretend that didn't happen. And, you know, let's start to, let's do our reindeer games. Todd is not a great person. sit next to Chad because he will drag you like in a classroom he will drag you into suddenly the two of you are having

a conversation and I'm looking at you like shut the fuck up yeah uh okay so Todd are you ready yeah I'm not doing I'm just going to be matter of fact the rest of the show it gets the best way it'll be for me so yeah

Dan you okay take it off then Dad? Are you going to... A little bit of mic maintenance. Oh, oh, he's unraveling the mic situation. Okay, cool. All right.

Nobody needs a mic for this part because you're all going to shout out the answer that you think is the correct answer. And when I hear somebody shout out the right answer, I'll let you know that I heard it. The game is called Initial Reaction. And this is... This game, Todd, I am going to say the initials, the first letters of each word in a movie title of a classic holiday film.

The first person that yells out what this movie title is that I'm looking for not only wins this first little game, but it means you get to go last in our first game tonight that we will play in a moment. I sit down all day thinking how can I make the rules and stuff more complicated you know I want to be like every other reality show on TV right now where you just spend the whole time trying to figure out what the fucking rules are but

you got it Todd? Okay Todd's ready he's lying he's lying to me just yell it out when you know it everybody on stage of course not not people in the audience H?

Home alone. Home for the holidays. Home long, too. Home long, too, lost to New York. That is the answer. You let him right there. You just said, Sam, just go ahead and finish this on me. Come on.

Nice work. Home alone. Thank you. It is funny that I came up with a game is something you're used to yelling out all the time. Whenever those exes aren't there to help clean up. All right. Congratulations, Sam. You took down that game.

So that means that means that you're going to go last in our first of two big games tonight. Oh, boy. And so to accomplish that, so just now when we were doing the, everybody being interview, we were going around that way, right? So we're going to flip it around and go this way. So we're going to start with you, Jimmy, go across and over this way. So, yeah, Jimmy's already, his dream of going home immediately is already on the cusp of coming through. I should tell, I take prevision, and it doesn't work.

I have no memory whatsoever. It's snake oil. Now, are you sure you're remembering? to take the privilege. Hey, now. Welcome to Evening of the Improv in 1987 with Doug Benson.

I don't think, I didn't have any jokes about that, but I did have jokes about Farfagnugin. Yeah. Remember fucking Farfugn? Everybody had a piece on that. Oh, my God, it's so fun to say. Far from fucking, huh? Oh, that in...

Every comic. Every comic. I wasn't working blue. You're better than that. I was in blue back then. I was doing an oppression. All right. So I like when you can hear a laugh up in the sound booth.

Probably it's something they saw on their phone. Yeah. All right. So we're going to play another game now that Jimmy is going to go first in. And it's a game that's called That's Fantastic. This game was created at the Fantastic. Film Festival that I attend every year in Austin, Texas, and it's always a lot of fun genre festival. They have a lot of crazy movies there.

So, Jimmy, I am going to say the title of a ridiculous-sounding movie. Okay. Possibly a holiday movie and even some movies that are, some consider holiday movies and some do not. And I'm going to say the name of the movie, Jimmy, to you. This is just for you to answer. I'm listening. And then I'm going to give you three choices. And you pick which choice applies to that movie, which person is in that movie.

You'll get it when you hear it. We better. You'll figure out. It's multiple choice. I'll give you the options. Jimmy will have to answer this first one. if he misses, there's two remaining answers. So don't go starting to discuss what the answer actually is

because then Ricky will get a 50-50 shot at it. And if Ricky misses it, then Mark will not only be the one with the correct answer, but Jimmy and Ricky will no longer be sitting there. So this is a one and done. This is it. You miss on this. You're gone. I cannot apologize more, Lewis.

It's multiple choice number to shit the bed. go ahead yeah the multiple choice aspect of it might make it trickier yeah so we'll we'll see how you do get to it okay I don't like to lose

the movie let's make Jimmy stay the whole time all right okay no I know you like to lose early in storm out I don't like to lose at all you like a good storm out Lay it up.

I like a good storm out. He likes a good storm out. Jimmy will storm the fuck out of here. You just wait. The movie is called The Man Who Invented Christmas. B. I'll hear him first. Does that movie feature Paul Giamatti, Wallace, Sean, or Jonathan Price?

Jimmy Pardo is going to pick one of those three names. Give me the name of the film again in the three actors names. He doesn't have the right one. He's going to storm out of here. The man who invented Christmas? After a respectful cannon fire. And just, listen, I'm not asking for a clue. I'm just going to ask you, just the only thing I'm going to ask you, is this a talkie?

I believe sound was used. We got Jonathan Price in the C hole, Wallachon to the B, and who's up top? Who's in the A? Paul Giamatti? Yes. You know what? It's like you knew it all along. Only because I thought his work

in the movie version of Avita was terrific. I'm going to go with Jonathan Price. Well, I've got bad news for you, Jimmy. You have to stay. That is the correct answer. The answer is Jonathan Price. It's the man who invented Christmas. I have time to get a soda, right?

Please, go get a soda. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. Yeah, take some orders. Take some orders from the other people. Hook up everybody.

All right, Ricky, you must be in a lot of suspense right now. Oh, yeah. Because now you are forced to pick from three options. I'm ready. Much like Jimmy just did, and I'd hate to see you be the first one to leave. I'm really hoping it's Mark. I love that Jimmy left anyway. Like, even though he got it right,

he still had to find a reason. He's not coming back. Hey, can you come to Dynasty and pick me up? Well, can you ask your manager if you can leave now? It's a group chat, just the exes. Anyone free tonight? I need a ride. My friends are making fun of me.

Any of you girls out in the bath right now? I need a ride to the Funko Pop store. Yeah, I know they're closed. Drop me off in the back. Okay. All right, great job, everybody. But we didn't stall long enough for Jimmy to come back. He's long done.

I don't see his son either. I'm ready. It's okay. Ricky can do this without him. Yeah, I'm ready. She doesn't need his energy. She doesn't need. He's just sitting there like a fucking Sagittarius.

Ricky. Yeah. Mr. Bean's Holiday. Okay. Who is in that? Is that, does Mr. Bean's holiday got Eric Idol, John C. Riley, or Willem Defoe. Which one's in Mr. Bean's holiday?

John C. Riley? That's your final answer? Yeah. I'm so sorry to say this, Ricky. I got it right. You've been eliminated. Oh, that's okay. I've been up since five.

It's okay. Thank you for having me. Ricky Lindholm, everybody. Feel free to hang out in the back with Jimmy, help him find a soda. She could probably find the sodas quicker than Jimmy. All right, Mark Ellis. Yes, I'll ruin your show, Benji. No, we've narrowed this one down to a 50.

Yeah, Ricky is out. Thank you, Ryan. All right. It's down to a 50-50. Jimmy's another one of my exes. He just brought me. Fizzy Water. Who's in Mr. Bean's

Holiday, Mark Ellis? For your opportunity to stay is if you get this right between Eric Idol and Willem Defoe. Okay, I feel like this should be pretty easy, right? Because Oh, that's a walk of shame.

I didn't know. I thought you knew where the back door was. Ricky Lidd everybody we're going to hear from her again because she sings the on the Christmas version of the theme song so we'll we'll hear that at the very end once we've crowned one winner who could still be me so I feel like like Eric I don't have to be in it because it's like a British that Rowan Atkinson's

British and like he probably watched a lot of Mighty Python growing up so there's no way Eric Idol is not in this film. Thank you. That's your final. Final answer. Final argument? Yeah. The case against Sam Levine Ress. You have been eliminated. Willem Defoe is in Mr. Bean's holiday. Wait, I'm supposed to guess that. No, you're good. You're good. I figured you'd figure it out.

Thank you, Mark Ellis. I'm so sorry, Mark. You just put that as far up as you can. No, you could give it back to them, or you could leave it there, and they can try to come find it later. I'll see you at the brunch with all our exes tomorrow. All right, let's try to all. Let's be like Ricky Linnholm and just get up and leave.

Let's not go around and chat with everybody and, you know, make a whole big thing out of it. We just want you gone. Wow. But congratulations, Ellery Smith does get the gimmee spot. She didn't have to answer that one because the two of them both got it wrong. What if she doesn't remember? Well, that, you know, that has been an issue in the past, and it's always funny when that happens, but, you know, I'm not playing it that way.

I wouldn't remember which ones were still available, and I've got it written right here. Dan Van Kirk. Yes. It's been so great having you here, like you've really been so helpful to everybody. Thanks. You're always getting people things and helping people out. Yeah. So let's see how you do with this.

No. One in three chance to get this right. Best way to do it is just know the answer. And then say that. Agreed. mentioned earlier this evening Todd Glass's favorite movie Home Alone 2

lost in New York okay who is in that film out of these three people okay Jamie Gertz Ali Sheedy or Leah Thompson

which one is in home alone. Oh, I don't either. Is there going to be anybody at your place when you get there? Probably.

Well, I'm happy to hear you won't be home alone. I don't like that everybody's getting two exits. Seems like a bit much. What do you think, Dan? I will go with Jamie Gertz. Jamie Gertz is your final answer. yes for has a role in home loan to lost in New York correct well we'll find out

Dan Van Kirk you've been eliminated I'm so sorry it does Todd Glass always with the best funniest things off Mike this is brutal because if I'll tell you why he could get a bike if you have to grab the mic he could wrestle it away from Chad if you have to grab the mic sometimes it makes it less funny because you're like here I have a great idea. And then you say it, then you have to hand the mic back after it maybe doesn't work. Yeah. So, yeah, it's best to just throw it away

and not have anybody hear it. I think would have been to have more fucking mics. Now, let's not fucking put the blame on me. So matter of fact. It'd be a goddamn nightmare if you all had if you all had mics. No, two on front, two in the back. Todd does the kind of comedy where if you have a second to think about

it, it doesn't work anymore. There you go. See, that's what I'm saying. Is Jeff had plenty of time to think of that and find a microphone? And then say it. Oh, thanks. Oh, Dan. See, he's still helping people.

I love you, Dan. He got that second. I didn't realize you guys used to date. That's so nice of him. You wishes. You keep saying stuff. Just take the mic. Yeah, Todd.

Todd did not get along with the others in class, or he got along with the others, but the teachers didn't like it very much. Am I right? Yes. That's why you're here, because it's funny. So try to use the mic if you can. All right, thank you.

Can you tell me the other two choices again? Yes. Thank you, Doug. How are you feeling about this, Amy? great. Dan said Jamie Gertz. The other two options are Ali Sheedy and Leah Thompson.

Blair wants to go so bad. Who is in Home Alone to? I want to be right, Blair. Trust me. But if I nod, I'm sorry. Okay, to quote Jimmy Pardo, I'm going to go in the Bhole. And... Ha ha ha!

I'm going to pick Ali Sheedy. Ali Sheedy and the Bhole? The Bihull is the place to behole. You did it. Doug, who does Ali Sheity play? She's like a ticketing agent at some point or like a clerk at somewhere. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, at the airport.

Yeah, all right. Yeah. They're all Jamie and Leah and her were all like in John Hughes movies. so I thought I'd be clever I'll love a full convoy in front of everybody that nobody can hear it is about movies Doug no I know so grab a microphone and talk about movies

well Ellery said which one is Ali Sheet in the breakfast club and I said the dirty goth I believe the poster labels her the misfit all right I'm a takeoff All right, Blair, are you ready? I think so. I think you are. I think you are ready for this for all night now.

The movie. Trust me, I don't need to do that. Batman Returns. Christmas classic. Oh, shit. Which one of these ladies? is in Batman Returns. Sherry O'Terry,

Jen Hooks, or Ellen Clegghorn? Exclamation point. Sherry O'Terry is the only one I've heard of. I know she was on Saturday Night Live, but was she in Batman Returns? I'm going to have to go

a Sherry O'Terry. is your final answer yeah I'm sorry to say that is incorrect oh my God Blair Saki has been eliminated I'm sorry about Joe

sorry Matt love you Blair Bye Merry Christmas Wait I'm giving you a ride home Are you getting an Uber Okay bye She knows you're here for the long game.

You might take a second before you're out of here. All right, Trey. Yeah. Thanks for being over there, man. I've been over here. I've been back here. You've been so patient. Just been waiting.

If you're in the corner wearing my dunt's hat, where I belong. I know I've heard of both these ladies. I know they're both an S&L alumni, but I have no. idea which one was in Batman Returns, so I'm just going to make an era-based guess and say Jan Hooks is what I'm going with. Do you remember Jan Hooks and the Alamo tour guide sequence in Pewey's Big Adventure? Yes. So there's a lot of people. Very memorable. Yeah, don't have nothing. Tim Burton likes to work with people again, and he brought her back. For Batman Returns.

It is Jan Hooks. All right. From the B-hole. I thought you were going to be like, yeah, well, then I think I shifted with this. He went right all the way into the B-hole and came right up out of the B-hole. For the movie fans, listening at home,

if you've not seen Jan Hooks in Jiminy Glick in Lala Wood, sincerely watch it. She steals the picture. That was for the home listeners and viewers. Yeah, these people, people here they're stuck in the theater yeah you don't get it here about yeah oh you're suggesting people turn this off right now and then watch watch or listen to that's correct okay

yep that's cool right sorry real quick if we get one right we get to go in the back and get something and come back out right I mean you can get at any point yeah whatever you want Jimmy's gonna have some peanut M&M's Even if I lose, I'm getting something from the back. That's a lot of candy. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. You deserve a nice treat.

Because he's going to win this. He deserves a nice treat. Yeah, everybody might be gone by the time we get back around to you. Jenny. Yeah. You ready. Yeah. Okay.

You have three choices. Okay. The movie is called Ginger Dead Man. Okay. Yeah, Ginger Dead Man. And I want to know, does that movie have Gary Busey, Jack Palance, or Neither? Oh. Yeah, a little twist in the game.

Oh, no. Your three options now include neither. It feels like an abusey vehicle. You feel like gingerbread man is a truck built for ginger dead man. Ginger dead bread man. Yeah, I feel like he would play a cop that he dies by getting stuffed full of gingerbread. Bye Blair. The player really tried to sneak out.

She really slunk out of here. Okay. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with. A, I'm going with the, with abuse. You're going with Gary Buse. Who, like, you know, clearly his career has been pretty strong for quite a long time. Yeah. You know, when offered a role, like, one is important as the part in Ginger Dead Man.

As the cop who gets unalived. I mean, no bonus points for what he does in the movie, but Gary Busey is in the movie. I'm going to go get a snack. Jenny's going to get a snack. And Daddy, you were getting it. Hell yeah. Jenny earned herself a snack. Chad, are you hungry?

Are you feeling peckish? I'm going to want some ginger dead man. I don't think we have any of that backstage. But we do have this next round for you, Chad Opitz. The movie is Santa Claus Conquers the Moon. Martians. Oh, shit. Yeah.

Did this movie... Did this movie feature Linda Blair, Jody Foster, or neither? Linda Blair, Jody Foster, and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Okay. I know the movie came out in the... the 60s, so they would both be incredibly young. I'm going to say neither. Because of their age? Yes. Because there probably not any children in a movie about Santa Claus.

Well, weren't they? They were in movies in the 70s and they were already tiny children. Oh, that's a good point. So I would say neither of them are in that movie. All right. Well, then I have to say to you, that is correct. I think they were in like the proximate right age to be children in that but the actress who was kind of famously known for having done that when she was a child who's Pia Zadora

if you remember that that lady. Yeah, Jimmy knows Pia. If you watch the opening titles for that film, the occupation is listed as costume designer with a U, C-U-S-T-U-M-E in the opening titles. Custom. Costume designer. Sam Levine, everybody.

Guys, that's a very well-known Mystery Science Theater 3,000 episode. I'm take off. Todd Glass has got a microphone and he's testing it and he's ready. And ask me an honest question. Don't try to make like a stupid one for me. Okay.

This is an honest, not stupid one. By the way, can I say one thing? I always have a great time. I wish you people a happy holiday, whatever you celebrate. And it's a fun night always with Doug Benson, right? I just want to say that now. So, yes, what's your question? Yeah, because this might be it for you.

But I'm very excited that you might get this right. Yeah, okay. It could happen. The movie is called It's a Wonderful Knife. It's a Wonderful Knife. Does that movie have, Joel McHale. You know who he is, right?

Joel McHale. Of course. Yes. And Justin Long, you know Justin Long? No. No, okay. He could be in it. Or both.

It's a wonderful knife. Your options, Todd, are Joel McHale, Justin Long, or both. What's your answer, Todd? Joe and McHale. What? Who? I probably said it wrong.

What's his name again? Joel McHale. Joe McCale. Joe McCale. Joe Hale. No, Joan McHale? Joel. Oh, I wish I was kidding.

Well, I guess. Make a loki-lucky. Whatever I said. Joan McHale. I'm sorry, Todd. Oh, no. You have been eliminated. Thank you, Todd.

Thank you. I love you all. Apologize to my son for losing. Oh, yeah, that's right. Sorry to Oliver. Yeah. Well, you could find one. But it's cool.

Oh, oh. Todd's having trouble fighting his way around backstage. stage. Who is, is anybody back there at this? Jimmy, he's still back there. Jimmy? He's going to be back there for more candy any minute. I know that.

What am I, Sammy Davis? What about Sammy Davis? I just know. Look at this guy with a fucking candy. It's got can't eat, stop eating candies. Then, Elri gets involved. You got a fucking candy stack underneath you. All right, Jeff.

Are you ready? Yeah. All right. All right. I'm going to, it's a wonderful knife. I'm going to say Justin Long. Todd said Joel McHale. Eventually he did, yes.

Yeah. And then you had the choices between Justin Long. long or both, and your answer is Justin Long. That is correct. Jeff Tate, you've been eliminated. Hey, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate. It's okay. I have to peeve so bad.

This is fine with me. Oh, all right. He threw it on purpose. You could have done it if you got it right, too. There's probably, oh, yeah, that's a good point. I'm going to guess Gary Busey. Bye, Jeff. He did a great job.

Yeah, he was great. I probably miss him. He flew in for this. Yeah, he flew in. Stayed a long time. Yeah. Really, really hung in there. Sam?

Yeah, Doug. What's the correct answer? I guess it's both. No, I'm sorry. Yes. Yes, both is the correct answer. Sam is still alive. Jimmy Pardo.

Yeah, I kind of wish I had the whittled down to two thing, but... Yeah, right? You go ahead, I guess I start it up again. It's really works out for people when it gets narrowed down to two instead of three. Yeah, it's helpful, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.

The movie is Santa with muscles. Oh, shit. Santa with muscles. Yes. Did that movie have Clint Howard, Ed Begley, Jr., or both? Oh, shit. Well, you just did a both, my boy Sam Levine back there. But I have a feeling that they're both in this.

It's got a Begley Howard combo vibe to it. It's of the era. I like Ed Begley Jr., a little more than senior, quite frankly. Damn! I like Clint Howard, Ronnie's brother. Doug, if this eliminates me, I'm going to go out feeling proud with my answer, Lewis. I hope you're proud of me tonight. That's all I care about.

I want Lewis to go home and go part of loss, but I don't make me proud. Are you proud? Todd Glass made my son proud. His son wants me to lose. There's no doubt he's counting the seconds down. Oliver, a minute away from 9-11. Is that like 30 seconds to Mars? No, it's just what Jimmy says when he's about to lose his temper.

I've never lost my temper. We're a minute away from 9-11. We just have a thing where we look at the clock at 9-11 minimum twice a day. For those listening at home, there are digital clocks in the theater. The digital clock now says 9-11 as the time. Well, we got another minute then, don't we? Two 9-11s.

One for each tower. Let me just tell the staff here at Dinesy Tiber, you can lock up, and we'll all just say here until tomorrow. Light it up! I feel good about saying, I'm not kidding. I think they're both in it.

It's a period piece. It's very of that time. they both play misfits on the beach while the muscle guys do their thing and claws comes down to the chimney. I'm going to go with both, Doug. You can't argue with that logic. That is the correct answer.

I love you! You're going to win this thing. Oh, my God! Look at that! Now he's got a candy bar. You are entitled to that. He deserves it. God, he deserves it.

He is shaking this place down. That's three free snacks. I'm counting. Yeah, get it. Get after it. Exactly. I'm for fucking television. Go get your gas money back.

All right, Elri. You don't live near the Kardashians? You don't live near the Kardashians? All right, Ellery. The movie is called. The movie is called. The movie. is called Santa Claus is a stinker.

Sure, sure. Santa Claus is a stinker. Is the name of the movie. Does it have Crispin Glover, Curtis Armstrong, or neither? Can I ask what year the movie is from? It's from... See? You gotta let people tell you no.

It's from... It never hurts to tell you. ask. It's from a time I'd rather not talk about. 2001. 9-11. It was released on Tuesday. It was released on a 9-11.

845. Yeah. Nice. What do you think? Crispin Glover, Kurt Armstrong. I don't get to know what you're the movie is from? No, that's not an element of the game.

I'm going to guess Crispin Glover. I can't use it in a sentence, so if you want to be sure. Yeah, no, put it in a sentence for me. Santa Claus is, a stinker. He sure is. All right. Crispin Glover, Curtis Armstrong, or New York? I'm going to guess Crispin Glover still. Oh, you'd

said that already? I just wanted to give you a chance to... Change it. Yeah, because Elery Smith, you've been eliminated. No! Say it as a staker. Nice to make you. Yeah, we have people meeting each other tonight.

Did you just throw garbage into one of the bags? Okay, she put a full one in there. It's a beer and some of MNMNMS. Nice. Bye. Bye. See you when you come back out. See you in 45 seconds.

I'm just systematically just trying to break up the talkers in the group. And Amy, how are you feeling over there by yourself now? Pretty good. A little lonely. Yeah. But it's going to get exciting right now because the movie is called Catch Me If You Can. Wait, I don't get to keep with Santa Claus is a stinker. Yeah, Santa Claus is a stinker. I apologize.

Everybody forget what you just heard. I guess everybody got to. hear it so everybody can think about it you can think about what you've heard but I want to go in the sea hole which do you want to go sea hole yeah neither you're taking it to the sea yeah deep deep deep in the sea but not but not beyond the sea not all the way out to sea world um neither is the correct answer all right so the aforementioned yeah back to you tray you had a little time to think about it right the movie is catch me if you can yeah the first movie anyone's heard of in the past few rounds

which is going to make me look much worse when I fuck this up yeah I don't want to live in a world where I hadn't heard of Mr. Bean's holiday but I get your point I get your point uh yes a very famous a movie this catch me if you can but how well do you remember who's in that movie does it have Elizabeth Banks Ellen Pompeo or both

E Banks Pompeo or both fuck go yelary say it happened it really did happen it really did happen we jokingly said yeah we'll see when you leave out

the front way here in 45 seconds but then it happened I literally pitched my wife on showing our middle school sons this movie this past week but we went with fucking like inside out too instead so so I have no idea I've seen this movie but not in a long long long time so can you give me the options again real quick Elizabeth Banks Ellen Pompeo or Both. I'll go with Ellen Pompeo.

Trey, if only your family had chosen the better film. I'll beat them all when I get home. Catch me if you can. That is incorrect. You've been eliminated. Thank you, Trey.

Wait, are the options? Is he just going to go straight now? He's going direct! He's not going to go backstage. He's not going to go steal some more treats. Miss America. There he goes. Walking just out the door, like a pageant winner. All right.

Wait, the options were Elizabeth Bank are both, right? Both Elizabeth Banks? It was Elizabeth Banks, Ellen Pompeo, or both. Oh, no, you're an asshole. Amy brought way too much candy. Jimmy only takes what he can finish. I have never seen this movie. I didn't even know it was a Christmas movie.

It is kind of. It's a great movie. Yeah, the only person I think of is Elizabeth Banks. And you know what? The A-hole was good to me the first time. So let's, okay. So I'm taking it. I'm taking the A-hole.

You're saying Elizabeth Banks and not both. Yes. Don't do this to me. I just said I've got to be very clear. Son of a bitch. Yeah, exactly. I know I'm going to, because you know what? Either I keep going or I get to go home,

and that's a win for me no matter what. I know. It's pretty exciting that I don't know a lot of game shows where the contestants are excited to get to leave. Like, you know, I really wanted that prize, but I also, God, I like home. I like, I like driving to my home. I like. Well, other games shows don't hold you hostage.

Do you say we're all depressed? Hell yeah. Hell yeah, we're sad. This is an escape room of game shows. I'm going to go light up a Hanukkah menorah and fucking live my life. All right. Jenny Zegreno, you've been eliminated. Hi, Jenny.

Bye, Jenny. Happy Passover, everybody. And now we have four lovely players remaining. So you know what that means? No. Time for a commercial break. We'll be right back. We're back.

That's not what I wanted. That was a fun break. I thought that was actual show. Okay, so Jason Bateman's never going to hear what you said about him. I love him. That's the truth.

It sounds like I'm making it, but I do. He's a good talker. He's a good talker. I love Zootopia, too. He's very good in it as that, as that. He's good to that Black Bunny or whatever it's called. Why wouldn't they call it Tootopia? I thought so.

I thought so, too. If they don't call the next one, Zootopoebia. Wait, Zootopia. Zootopia. Zootopia. Yeah, yeah. C-3PO. That's what they should call it, C-3PO.

Yeah, just go right to that. All right. So it's time to change gears. We're going to play a different game. Oh, thank God. Are you up, Sam? Congratulations to all of you for surviving. That's why I'm asking you.

I'm lost. I have no idea what's going on. I'm going to tell you, this is a part where when I talk, I'll explain it to you. and then everyone will go, oh, so that's what's going on. We were waiting for somebody else to tell us. Sam, Chad, Amy, Jimmy. That's the order that you're going to go in.

In our next game that I call the little search engine that could. All right. In this game, I. typed a word into the search engine at the Internet Movie Database. And then I wrote down the top 10 movies that came up according to their algorithm. The four of you are going to take turns naming movies that you think landed on this list that have one specific word in the title. and at any point during the game

one time you can go to your lifeline which is the person in the audience whose name tag you chose so who's yours Amy Philip with two owls Chad Justin with one T Sam Alex Phoenix Phoenician Alex

okay and Jimmy my son Oliver you can't switch you can't change I know, but he knows everything about movies. I don't know anything about this, Lewis. Lewis, you know movies? Maybe. My son Oliver.

I got Lewis. All right. All right. Well, you know what? If the other players don't object to him using Oliver as his lifeline... There's no objections. Does Lewis object? Sam does not object.

Well, Lewis will still win the shit. Oh, Lewis. Yeah, so Lewis should take a good deal when he sees. Is it? Yeah, he says no objection. We could swap Jimmy out for Oliver on the show. Taking his candies, going home. Oliver, it's a waymo for you. I do have a quick question about this game, if I may.

Am I allowed? Yeah. When you say it's a word in the title, it's not necessarily the first word. No. Thank you for your time. It's a word in the title. And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you the. the word. This is a word, of course, that especially

when it comes to holiday movies, it has appeared in many titles, but we're looking for the absolute top 10, according to today's algorithm on the internet movie database, what people are looking for. And the word is Christmas. It hurts somebody in the audience. Ah. And we start with good old Sam Levine.

He gets to take the first cracket. What do you think, Sam, would be the number one Christmas movie? I think. The word Christmas. It's going to be. Well, you want to get that number one, because that'll be worth, that's worth ten points. But if it's anywhere on the top ten, you'll get some points. Sam?

National Ampoon's Christmas Vacation. Sam is coming out with what he thinks. You think it's number one? I think it's on the list. Yeah, I think. It's number one on the list. What the hell is happening? You looked today.

I did not look today. Sam. I did not. I did not look today. There's chatter. You look today. No. sir, there is not.

Lumer has it. You look today. Chad also heard you look. I heard shit. Look, the algorithm changes all the time, but that is not the first time we've played the little search engine that could with Christmas. Amy says that she heard that you look today. Your honor.

Thank you. Representing myself, Your Honor. Judge Benson. I did not look today. I had no idea what game we were going to play, and I don't like hollow victories. I am up here guessing, just like you. Sam Levine. I believe you.

Yeah, that was really good. I felt like Aaron Sorkin wrote that. All right, Chad. I don't mean to upset you before the funeral that you have to get to. Thank you. They're burying me at 11. He's their 11 o'clock number. Chad, what's your guess?

I might Amy do not harass the other guests I might be taking Amy's I'm not sure I know you know Well you could possibly That's you know

Good strategy maybe Be a real jerk move I'm gonna say a Christmas story A Christmas story Not just any Christmas story But a Christmas story But a Christmas story

Is number six on the list. Congratulations. To Chad, who is on the board, with a very healthy five points. Still anybody's game, even if somebody looked it up today. Allegedly.

It could still happen. It could still happen. Amy, what's your first guest? Do you want to use your lifeline or do you have one of your own? No, Nightmare before Christmas. Oh, man. The Nightmare. You know what I'm talking about?

There's the reason I swallowed the first word. Nightmare before Christmas. Yeah, and you know, I would certainly be tempted to give it to you. The nightmare. If it was even on. Whoa. Oh, no. That's crazy.

Not in the top ten. That was going to be mine. I was thinking it's for two seasons. It's at Disneyland. Let's burn an IMDB down. What's this? Yeah, you know the words. I love them.

Yeah. What a shame. What a shame. Bye, Amy. That's a shocker. Yeah, I agree, Chad. Did you just say goodbye, Amy? She's not eliminated.

I've changed the rule. I'm not. Because of the candy stuff. I'm not happy with the candy business. No. Can I say something, by the way? I regret all the candy I've eaten. I'm sitting here over and going,

what the fuck are you doing with all the candy? You're going to have a tummy ache. You know what happened is I was a child. I saw the candy. gotta fucking have that candy. I give it. Swear it a lot of candy talking. It's the holidays and there's

candy sitting around. I can't stop. What are you going to do? Won't stop. Just let it continue to sit there. All right. I'll go with Christmas Carol. Jimmy, you're going with what? Christmas Carol.

A Christmas Carol? Whatever's on the list. If it's the, then I said the. If it's a, I said a. If it's a, I said a. You mean to say Scrooged? Yeah. Because that'd be weird if it was on a list of movies with Christmas.

The old time classic where they throw the, I think it's a snowball, it hits a guy in a hat. You know that movie? Yeah, I don't even care which one it is. It's number nine on the list. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Squeak by. Squeak by.

Two points for Jimmy. This is crazy. You're saying this a two-time elimination? No, there's no elimination anymore. You're just the four of you are going to play this out where you're each going to have three guesses. and whoever has the most points at the end is our winner. Well, how can Sam not win? What?

Yeah, because he looked, right? Is that what you're getting at? No, I believe him, I believe him, but I mean, just points-wise, I feel like this is, okay, I'll stay. He's in the cat pursy. He does not have an insurmountable lead. Oh, okay, okay, thank you. That's what I wanted to know.

But he will in mere moments, I'm sure. There's not, I have, oh. Yeah. All right. It is your turn, though, right? Christmas with the cranks. Fuck. That's what I was going to say.

That's what I was going to say. Number four. Oh. You look. I was like hoping it, I was like looking at this list, like hoping it wouldn't be there. Me too. Sick of this. Seven more points for Sam.

You. You. I'm a nice, man. Yeah, he's hopped up Leave the hopped up man alone Is it my turn? I guess so I feel like we went the wrong way

Oh yeah, Chad, sorry Does it have to be exactly Christmas Or can it have Christmas with a little bit of pizzazz to it? What? I'm trying to think of a Christmas title With pizzazz? Where the Christmas has some pizzazz on it I mean, is it still spelled Christmas correctly

And then some pizzazz? Yeah, so it should count four Christmases oh I see you're saying because it's like it's kind of not really Christmas is yeah yeah and so that may have that plus also being a you know a terrible movie might make it not make the list yeah so I'm sorry Chad oh well something will be at chicken I know yeah you got too you got too mad too soon I did I Watch the floor for the listener. But yeah, he didn't.

It's carpeted. It's got a nice carpet. Not a thick carpet. Very much regret that. Put some skittles on your knuckles. It'll feel better. What did you say? Put some cold skittles on your knuckles.

It's a nice chilly skittles on your knuckles. Taste it. Okay. Chad got zero for that. Nice. And now it's me? Sorry, Chad. Yeah, Amy.

A. Muppet Christmas Carol. Oh, you sort of. Nice job. Yeah. I know three movies. That one, of course, had to be on here, right? What number is that? It's number 10.

Oh, it just made it. Yeah. Just barely. Well, thank you. Thank you. All right, so what do we have a lot? Everybody's got points on the board. This is exciting.

So number two is left. Number three is left. Let's pretend people have a chance still. Lewis, with permission, I will go to my son on this. I'm going to go to my Jewish son for a Christmas movie title. Because you're flush out at this point? Well, listen, I had four Christmases locked and loaded,

and then I had a Muppet business loaded. I had everything that I had loaded has been said or I said it. Right. I don't know a lot about Christmas movies. I don't care for the season. Did you just say food? I don't know what he's saying.

Rude? Oliver, what do you got? Scrooged. Oh, wow, there's a special light for Oliver. Look at that. You look like you're like one of the ghosts. You're visiting. I love it.

Or we're auditioning for you. What do you got, Oliver? God damn it. Oh, look at my son. Look at my fucking son. just look at him out there we're going with white Christmas we've got ourselves a match it's number three on the list good kid this is getting exciting this is getting so exciting I can't believe that that was really that was amazing so so so so miraculous my son

Thank you, all of them! Okay, Sam. I mean, I have a few, but I don't think they're going to be up there, so I might as well ask... Do you want to go to your thing? Yeah, I might as well ask Alex. Your lifeline? Alex, what do you got anything? Alex, what do you got?

That's a great answer. That's a great answer. So I'm going to give the official title of that film, which is Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Yeah, they gave him the... They gave Dr. Seuss the, what you're called? call it, the possessive. What's that? I just understand to what you're saying.

Alex. Sam turned to you in his hour of need, where he didn't even really need. Did you have another one in your head? I mean, bad ones. You hadn't thought of Grinch? No. No.

Well, and it least finally someone else can take credit for Sam's victory because it is number two on the list. Just like we planned it after I told you, I looked it up, Alex. Way to go. Wow. This conspiracy goes deep. This has really been planned out. This was too exciting. Oh my Goodness. Should we keep going? He won, right? Nobody wants to. I mean, it feels like it, doesn't it? Well, I want to see what Philip has. Okay.

Oh, yeah. There's some left, but there's no catching his score. What does he have? He's got 26. Yeah, and you've got 10. So you have to pick a movie that's worth 16 points. But let's go ahead. Who is supposed to be next, Chad? Yeah, what do you got? The one I said earlier, Ernest saves Christmas.

Oh, yeah, that did come up earlier. Not on the list. God damn it. People don't respect Ernest P. World nowadays. It's bullshit. It's, yeah, it's really, I don't know what happened to the earnest, the EU, the Ernest universe. No, that there's time.

Amy. Christmas in Connecticut. Oh, you went to your lifeline? Yeah. And that's what they said. And it wasn't, and it was not worth it, Philip. Have some fucking Skittles. What am I going to put on my wound?

Watch Christmas in Connecticut. It would be an amazing campaign for Skittles. Have some fucking Skittles and then just get thrown at somebody. I love it. Do you want to go with that or do you want to do your own? I don't. don't have any more, I don't think. You don't have any more Christmases?

A wish upon a Christmas. That's one. Oh, that's fun. Just make up a title. Just like Philip did. It works sometimes. But Christmas in Connecticut did not make the list. Oh, it didn't?

No. But it was, it was like number 12. It was hovering. Oh, it was close by. A little higher than we thought. Yeah. Because it's like Jane Mansfield or something is in that, right? Yeah, yeah.

You've got some folks in there. Sexy. All right. This really just feels like if you say on one, we're doing, what are we, what are we doing? This is like for participation trophy or something? Well, you've already eaten a lot of participation trophies. That's what we call candy around here. Oh.

But what's, you want to do, guess we've got one more for fun? Here's what I'm thinking. I can't figure out why my son hasn't figured out how to text me these answers. this point. Like he's out there. I got a phone right there. He could have been helping me all along here. Right. You know, Sam Levine style. But, um, I, uh, do you want to ask him for another one? Yeah. Oliver, you got another one? I'm really blanking. Yeah, it's tough, isn't it? I mean, you know, there's that, that movie, eight-bit Christmas came out like last year. All right. You know what? My son says, and with Lewis's permission, eight-bit Christmas.

No, the people in the audience know that it's not on there. Someone's very against that. I think it's a horrible against. I've been doing it for my son. Yeah. You guys think it's shitty you're hurting a child. It's for his boy. What child...

I don't know the words. Congratulations, Sam Levine. You are the winner. Thank you very much. Thank you. Sam is the winner. Yeah. Congratulations, Alex.

People love predictability. so this was fun. Was Black Christmas up there? That was what I almost said before Grinch. Yeah, but we're almost at the part where I tell you what was on there. But oftentimes a guest will jump in and say, was this on there?

But you get to do your plugs before we do that, Sam. Again, my plugs are I'm at Ralph's tomorrow around noonish, somewhere in the valley. And after that, I'm home, ready to do all. all the cameos you can think of. Do I have projects going? Sure. Am I going to promote them?

No. They didn't pay me enough. Yeah. Sam Levine. The Machine. Black Christmas did not make the cut. Thanks again, Alex. Number eight was the Christmas Chronicles,

starring Mr. Kurt Russell. Number seven was something called That Christmas. What? starring Brian Cox and Bill Nyee. The not-science guyee. Yeah. Why is that? Yeah, that's a, you know, maybe they're just like trying to find the love actually guy.

Sums up. Or the Succession, dude. And then number five, a motion picture called Last Christmas. Very romantic, sad bullshit movie called Last Christmas. And then you cranked out the top four. Christmas of the Cranks, White Christmas, Grinch, and Nat Lampoons, Christmas vacate. So nice job, everybody. Thank you, Doc.

Now, Sam, I'm going to tell you what you won while we're taking a ride in a glass elevator. Thank you to everybody. Sam's not even paying attention. I'm listening to everything you're saying, writing it down for Bustache. Why are you on your phone? No, I'm not on rise. Are you calling an Uber already? Maybe.

He wants to run out the door and jump into a car before all the adoring fans can get at him. It's correct. So if everybody could just be cool, let's say him get to his car. Thanks so much, Gerard. I was texting with Jeff Tate. That would be amazing. Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate. I also got to text with Jeff Tate.

Let's hear it for everybody. saw it tonight. Thank you to Dynasty Typewriter. You know where all my dates and deeds and links are. I'll be back here with the Benson movie interruption on. I think it's going to be on a Wednesday, the first one this year here, and then after that, the first Tuesday every month. But the first one I think is on Wednesday, the 6th or some shit like that.

We've got a few weeks to figure it out. and I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday season. I didn't, today I didn't get around to coming up with a last line from a Christmas movie, but there must be some dumb Santa Claus movie or something that ends with. Ho, ho, ho. Now it's time for done to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you.

As dog loves movies.
