Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug makes candy wrappers, squeaky babies, 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, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is my love for movies. Coming to you once again from the Barbershoot Arts, Comedy, and Music Festival.
Starting point is 00:00:44 I didn't mean to give music third billing. That seems to be the main thing. In Seattle, Washington! One of my two favorite states in the country, because you know why. It's Sunday, August 31stst right august 31st 2014 wolf street fight terminator 2 judgment day of the dead men walking tall the president's men in black fisher king ralpha dog day afternoon Fisher King, Ralph Dog Day, Afternoon Delight, Sleep Perfect, Murder by Death Wish, Three of Me, Ghost World, Hand of Watch, Men Don't Leave, Las Vegas, Food Law, Jingle, all the
Starting point is 00:01:39 Wayne's World, Fastest Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom's Days of Thunder! I thought I couldn't memorize things anymore, but there you have it. Let me see your name tags, Bombershoot. Beautiful, you brought name tags. Let's move on. We've got one hour and four great guests, you guys, so I just want to get them out here.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Does that sound good to you? Oh, but first, Vegas, come to the Plaza Hotel on Saturday, September 6th at 420 if you're in or near Vegas for another attempt at a Doug Loves Movies taping. This time with, I think it's going to be air conditioned this time. So I'm excited about that. The prize bag includes a beautiful poster created by Barry the Art Guy, at Barry the Art Guy, for my Duck Dynasty special that we taped last week at the Neptune Theater. And I think there's a few more left, and so I'll be at Flatstock here at Bumbershoot right after this show
Starting point is 00:02:59 if you want to buy one for me to sign. And I can also blow weed smoke on it if you want to buy one for me to sign. And I can also, like, blow weed smoke on it if you want. I think that's a nice gesture. We'll sort through the bag with these guests because, as usual at Bumbershoot, there's a lot of great people running around, and one person, I don't even know why he's in town, so we're going to have to get into that with him.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Everybody, please give a big warm welcome to Ken Jennings, W. Kamau Bell, Rory Scovel, and Werner Herzog. Thank you. I was like, let's put the chairs in front of the table so that the people don't just lean on the tables like they're at a cocktail party, and then you guys just arranged it so you could do that anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:16 So I guess it's just natural. Also, got to say, I'm impressed that none of my guests have spoken yet. That's never happened. Usually somebody has something to say right away. You guys are frighteningly quiet right now. Let's start with Mr. Werner Herzog, everybody. Dankeschön.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Dankeschön, Doug. What a pleasure it is to be here as always. Somebody yelled something at you, I think. Are you okay up there? Coming from where I come from, we tend not to encourage the yelling of mobs quite so much anymore. It's frowned upon.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I apologize for encouraging it. What did you bring for the prize mag? I brought, of course, applets and cutlets. The snack beloved by the elderly to remind us that the grave awaits us all. It's also a nice summertime treat. And of course, as I abhor nature, I brought the most chemically thing I could, a five-hour energy drink.
Starting point is 00:05:46 It's made of pure science. Yeah, it's grape-flavored science. Oh, grape. I wish I'd read the label more carefully. I don't like that it's flavored by something natural. I wish they had one that's called electricity flavored. It's the flavor of a USB port. Don't act like you haven't at one time or another put your tongue on the opening of a USB port
Starting point is 00:06:20 just to see what it would feel like to be a cybernetic machine. Yeah. No hands are going up on that one. There is no need. The audience is unanimous. Yes. Here's something else the audience is unanimous about.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Their love of local phenom Ken Jennings everybody Thank you He's won on Jeopardy more than all of you put together Yeah He's that good But not on Douglas movies probably Well you know it's a tough game
Starting point is 00:07:04 because anybody could throw a wrench in the works. It's made so that the best people don't always win. You've got to give the losers a chance on this show, is my feeling. It's the Wheel of Fortune of podcasts. What? What?
Starting point is 00:07:21 I think Pat Sajak is a likable fellow. It's fun to watch people be dumb. I don't know how much fun, though. Sometimes the listeners of the show, they get frustrated when the guests are not getting it, and so I think that's part of the fun today is that we've got four panelists
Starting point is 00:07:41 who actually know how to play, and Ken brought for the prize bag a trivia almanac. I enjoy trivia from time to time. I like to keep my hand in. Does this book pin down at what point in history these facts become trivial? And of course, the weather conditions on that day. Oh, no. Wow. It's like the five-second rule.
Starting point is 00:08:17 You know, everything's trivial to me immediately. For example. Has anyone made a movie about you? Because That bleak statement makes me think There's a film in you, Ken Jennings We should talk We should talk after We should talk after
Starting point is 00:08:37 We should exchange electronic business cards After the show I'm a true trivia addict I could just read this We shall exchange electronic business cards after the show. I'm a true trivia addict. I could just read this. But instead, I'm going to introduce another guest that's here. Mr. Rory Scovel, you guys. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Thank you. Thank you. Star of the show. It's coming back for second season, Top Shelf. That's right. And it's on TBS. Yep. It's a bar show.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It's only rich people drinking. It's called Top Shelf. They know drama. Boom. Characters, no thank you. Characters, get off our porch. The program's called Ground Floor. Thank you for, yes, ending me on that.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Well, I mean, what would that have looked like? I was like, it's called Ground Floor, Doug. You would have looked like a lot of my guests. It would have been perfect. It's not fucking top shelf. A lot of people think I'm making a mistake when I'm just trying
Starting point is 00:09:52 to have some fun. But you're coming back for another season. When does it start? It has started and it premieres December 9th. So we're shooting it now and it premieres December 9th.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Time traveler, Rory Scoville. That's a little more clear. December 9th. So we're shooting it now, and it premieres December 9th. Time traveler, Rory Scoville. That's a little more clear. We've started, and it's pretty much over. If you missed it, catch it again on December 9th. And you brought a nice piece of vinyl for the prize bag. I sure did.
Starting point is 00:10:20 You brought your album live at Third Man Records. It's valued. You can't put a price on that, and that's why we're giving it away for free today. There you go. And W. Kamau Bell is here, everybody. You enjoying your Bumbershoot time?
Starting point is 00:10:54 Yeah, you didn't ask me for anything For the prize bag and I feel bad now I texted you about it Oh, that's my You don't have my new number I'm not saying you're going to get it I'm just saying you don't have my new number. Oh, okay. I'm not saying you're going to get it. I'm just saying you don't have it. You got some.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Well, here, I got a Starbucks card that they gave us in the goodie bag. Oh, perfect. Yeah, and it's got 33 cents on it. No way. Yeah. You spent four something? Four 67. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Perhaps Doug could blow some coffee breath on it. Oh, this, This isn't coffee. This is some liquid marijuana that somebody gave me. And you're not going to want any because it's grape flavored. So... because it's grape flavored. So, what, what, did I ask you why you're in town,
Starting point is 00:11:51 Werner? No. Kamau, you're here, you're doing shows all weekend. That's quite a segue. Yes, I'm here doing shows.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I have a show tomorrow at one. All right. Thank you, three segue. Yes, I'm here doing shows. I have a show tomorrow at 1. Thank you, three people. Starting to understand why I got canceled. I said it about me! We get really sweet crowds here. You can get them to all like that pretty easy.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Well, you know, as a father of a three-year-old, my wife's pregnant. She's due soon. And it's a mixed-race baby, which is the cutest baby. Empirically true. This fact transcended the aww and took it straight to applause. We're touched by babies,
Starting point is 00:12:47 but we applaud mixed race ones. Yeah. Think globally, act locally. Boom. Characters, drama. So I've got a salami from Olympic Provisions in Portland. It's a cacciatore.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Somebody gave me this. When did I get this? Yesterday? Yeah, you gave this to me yesterday. What's your name, young lady? Annabelle? And what is it? It's tea cookies. It's tea cookies? But they don't have wheat in them?
Starting point is 00:13:24 No, they don't. Wow, Doug. Plosh British pot cookies. Tea only. So that's going in the prize bag. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I've never seen you angrier, Doug. I gotta... He's never seen a cookie without weed in it. It's like first time. I'm so irate right now. I got a buy one, get one burrito, burrito bowl, salad,
Starting point is 00:13:57 or order of tacos from a Chipotle stand here. Through that in the back. Here's a piece of soap I got that's just fun because it says monkey farts on the front of it. If that's what monkey farts smells like, I wouldn't mind having a monkey in my face all day.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And then a lady gave me a couple of these. I was trying to spread them around. It's a children's book, I guess. It's called If a Peacock Finds a Pot Leaf. So get that wherever weird things are sold. Do we know what happens when a peacock finds a pot leaf? I didn't skip ahead,
Starting point is 00:14:35 because I'm going to wait for the movie. Does this peacock trip out on its own colorings for hours and hours? I'm sure that's a way they could have gone with it. But like I said, I haven't read it. No more questions.
Starting point is 00:14:54 The floor is closed. And this little rubber saveable thing, a guy gave me a bunch of them so I keep putting them in the prize bags in my album. All that is going to be somebody's today. But let's talk about movies for a quick hot second before we play the Leonard Maltin
Starting point is 00:15:12 game. Have you been to the movies lately, Ken Jennings? Yeah. I saw Boyhood a couple weeks ago. Okay. Now how did you set aside the like nine or ten hours it takes to accomplish that? I watched it in real time. It took 12 years. Oh, goodness.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Director's cut. You've just been walking around watching it on your phone for a decade. But you enjoyed it? It made me sad. I have an 11-year-old boy, and he's about to hit the unlikable part of the movie, like the second act, you know? Hmm. Where's the awe?
Starting point is 00:15:49 I've just been so on the fence about seeing it, and you really just kept me on the not seeing it side. I saved you 11 bucks. I'm remaining a Nazi when it comes to boyhood. I'm a Nazi it. Don't be sad. It's just my life that i'm screwing up you still are enriched by it i just think it's a trap i think it's i like to call it the terrence malick trap no this one you'll love
Starting point is 00:16:23 every time since Badlands. Kamau, what have you seen lately? I just saw a million dollar arm on a plane. Oh yeah, me too. I saw it on a plane. It was a nice, sweet place to see it. Yeah, I feel like it's just another part of Jon Hamm's continuing series
Starting point is 00:16:37 of it's harder to be a successful white guy than a struggling minority. I knew I'd lose most of the crown on that one. That's all right. Ah, but he's still got that mixed baby. Don't forget. Ah.
Starting point is 00:16:57 The old mixed baby card. Boom! Was that the actual baby you were throwing onto the table no that's how you make a mixed baby that's my penis and it boom and it explodes and my wife is like 10 minutes later mixed baby
Starting point is 00:17:17 10 minutes later yes the gestation period is very short for the mixed baby. All of the prizes are in a bag that says I heart Portland on it that I got while I was in Portland. So that'll be fun for somebody here to carry around. And then there's a look at the Doug Dynasty poster that we're giving away tonight. I guess they should sign it, right? And speaking of
Starting point is 00:17:47 signs and name tags... Oh, wait! My apologies. Have you been to the cinema? You two guys? I only went two guys deep and gave up on it? Yeah. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:18:04 A personal worst. So moving on to the next portion of the... What have you seen, Rory? I recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger Pumping Iron documentary on Netflix. That's fun seeing him. He tokes in that, right? recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron documentary on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That's fun seeing him. He tokes in that, right? Yes, he does. He tokes in that and he's mean to Lou Ferrigno. I don't know if people are booing Arnold or Lou. Or weightlifting in general. They're yelling for Lou.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Lou. Lou. Lou. Lou. He's not coming out, you guys. Because he can't hear it. Dude. Dude. Dude.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I didn't take credit for that. I don't know. Did anyone think it was funny? I'll take it if it was. Hey. I'll burn Lou. Did anyone think it was funny? I'll take it if it was. Hey, I'll burn Lou. What do I care? Werner, have you been to the cinema? I regret that I have not been able
Starting point is 00:19:13 to go to the cinema for pleasure, but only for research as I'm working on a new film. It's Sleepless in Seattle, Port of Call colon Seattle. Whoa. I love that title. In this film,
Starting point is 00:19:32 Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks switch roles. What? Oh, no. And they have a battle on the top
Starting point is 00:19:42 of the Space Needle. The winner gets to decide whether mankind will continue as a race. This sounds like an ambitious sequel. I like to take things in different directions. Well, that's the best possible direction. Also, I've been, it's not about movies, but I've been binge-watching
Starting point is 00:20:09 Days of Our Lives. How far back did you go? I started from the beginning. I went to the Museum of Television and Radio. I'm just about into the 60s now. How long is it going to take to catch up?
Starting point is 00:20:27 Until the end of my life. I would like the episodes I do not finish to play on a screen on my gravestone. So that others may complete my work. All right, well, that brings me to the part of the show where I say, let the games begin!
Starting point is 00:21:02 And begin they shall! And begin they shall. Brought to you by SeattlePI.com. That was weird. I don't know what happened to my voice there. And perhaps Pepperidge Farm cookies? Yes. Gentlemen, pick your name tags.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Like the wind. Schnell. Schnell. Schnell. Oh, right there. Look at them go. They're not messing around. They have no commercials to go to. Rory took his microphone with him.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I didn't want a single second to be lost. That was very efficient, the way you guys did that. Also, quietest audience during that part. Did you just size up these guys as like, if we yell and stuff, they're not going to pick us. We just have to pray. Just have to hope to be
Starting point is 00:22:00 chosen. That was very interesting. Okay, let's move on, Doug. Ken, who are you playing for? I'm playing for Greg, I assume. Eight Gregged Freaks. And it lights up. The spiders
Starting point is 00:22:15 actually wiggle and light up. That's pretty cool. Pretty excited. Tastes like electricity. Who are you playing for? Come out. Monty Python and the Holy Bell. There we go.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And it comes with cookies. But they don't have weed in them, so don't get angry, Doug. Just regular cookies. Put them in the prize bag. So angry. Jesus. What are you doing there, Rory?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Werner's trying to steal my cardboard thing. Is your name Truey? What? It is Eli. So not correct. Many will wonder who... Not Truey. Truey or Eli. Well, Occam's razor.
Starting point is 00:23:25 What's that a poster of? It's True Lies. I was immediately drawn to it because I just referenced this gentleman in a film I had just recently seen. True Lies. And I thought, True E is a weird name.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Right, Eli is right there in True Lies in the middle of that. Yeah, it's very clever, but he went with True E. The E is even red to show its devotion to Eli,
Starting point is 00:23:49 more so than the True. Werner, who are you playing for? I am playing for Saturday Mike Fever, who has taken the iconic poster for the film Saturday Night Fever and placed over it the heads of one of the contestants
Starting point is 00:24:09 and a complete stranger. And this mic is very industrious, and not knowing who the guests would be, he has brought along in an envelope other heads, the heads of potential guests. He has a couple of dogs. There's a Janine Garofalo, a Eugene Merman, a shouting Pete Holmes. It's a shame he did not have a Werner Herzog. But you chose it anyway. I love disco dancing.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It is the purest expression of rage. I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Alright, well let's give let's give everybody else a fighting chance here, a running head start. We'll have Ken go last on this first round. Don't you
Starting point is 00:25:25 boo me. It's just like on Jeopardy, only the opposite of how that works. Because the winner goes first each time, right, when you come back? Yes. Yeah. I'm not doing it that way. This is more, yeah. I'm going to teach you a lesson.
Starting point is 00:25:42 There is either a baby or a jungle bird in this theater. I hope it is a baby. I hope it's a jungle bird. So badly. That hope will be wasted once this raptor claws your eyes out. But seriously, Bumbershoot is the festival with the most babies I've ever been to in my
Starting point is 00:26:17 life. It's almost, Bumbershoot should just be, their subtitle should be Festival for Babies. Because there's babies at every show. It's pretty interesting. They always heckle. They always start talking shit.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Like they sleep 20 hours a day but they wake up just to say this show needs to stop now. I think the weed here makes me angry. So let's start right here with the Grey Werner Herzog, and then'll go to Rory and then Kamau and then to Ken. I accept your terms. First person First person at two
Starting point is 00:27:14 points wins. We get a four-way tie going. We get to have the asparagus pea category. It's one of my favorite things that happens. It's not one of Julie Andrews' favorite things, as it turns out. She doesn't mention it in that song. Perhaps it is implied.
Starting point is 00:27:41 It certainly is, I think. Everyone has too many favorite things to name them all. I mean, Oprah had to have specials year after year. Golden showers. Full stop. I almost, okay. At Drew Robbs on Twitter suggested, you say Ferrara, I say Ferrara
Starting point is 00:28:06 and that's the films of America, Ferrara or Jerry Ferrara no one's ever going to pick that Penny Dreadful, that of course is the Penny Marshall films that Leonard Walton gave two or
Starting point is 00:28:23 less stars and celebrating a birthday today Chris Tucker yeah sure please don't start yelling out names of Chris Tucker movies it's like you almost don't know why we're here it wouldn't take that long though we're shower one we're shower two or shower three that could be part of the fun I just don't know if Werner is much of a Chris Tucker aficionado. Which category would you like to play? You save for our eyes, save for error.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I wasn't trying to goad you into picking that one. And yet, here we are. Would you like a movie with Jerry or America from 2008 or 2010? 2010 2010 2010 okay Leonard gives this movie three stars he says that
Starting point is 00:29:36 it's inventively staged and he also says he wrote that out could somebody pass around some happy weed for doug menton especially in 3D yeah that's probably why I sighed I never think 3D
Starting point is 00:30:08 should be recommended but he says it's especially inventive in its use of 3D here we go
Starting point is 00:30:14 if that baby doesn't get a good whipping you ruined the show was that If that baby doesn't get a good whipping, you ruin the show. I feel like that baby chuckled at the idea of 3D. I think so. Who would go in 3D?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. By the time that kid's seeing movies, you're going to be inside the movie. Oh, okay. We have agreement. He also calls this movie often enthralling.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Often enthralling. And he lists eight names. Can you think of any movies with America or Jerry that were often enthralling with eight names. Werner Herzog. How many names?
Starting point is 00:31:10 I can name that film in seven names. That's a sneaky trade. I like it. Five names is what I meant to say. You going to stay with that? Yes. Five names, Rory I want him to name that film Alright Your five names are
Starting point is 00:31:39 Kristen Wiig TJ Miller Christopher Mintz-Plasse Jonah Hill and America Ferreira. Out of eight. And the name of the film is? 2010. 2010.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Leonard enjoyed the staging. Yes, he did. Especially, he liked the 3D version a lot. It was often enthralling. How often do you hear that associated with the name TJ Miller? Is this film? is this film I can't believe you don't know this you can't believe Werner doesn't know this
Starting point is 00:32:36 I think he'll make a documentary on this subject someday the problem that I'm having is that I was convinced that it was another film, and then when I heard the names, I thought, that doesn't sound like the Dukes of Hazzard reboot to me. All right. I hate to say it, but... You got anything?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Is the film... Shining Time Station. No, it's... The rest of the names are Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler, and Jay Baruchel, and it's How to Train Your Dragon. How to Train Your Dragon.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yeah. I'm still kidding at all. I presume that everyone knew the answer to this riddle. There were a few out there that knew it. And so Rory's on the board with one point.
Starting point is 00:33:46 We'll let Trui. Me and Trui. Ken gets to pick the next category, then we'll go to Kamau. And you get to choose between these, Ken. USonic on Twitter, E-U-Sonic, suggested evacuate your vowels. And that is movies with titles that have no vowels in them
Starting point is 00:34:09 the vowels are completely gone from some movie titles strangely enough it turns out sometimes you don't need vowels at laser with a Z but lasers spelled with an S
Starting point is 00:34:24 suggested into the Storm. What do you think that is, Ken? Into the Storm. Movies about Seattle female basketball players. Tender lesbian coming of age story about two Seattle basketball players. No. I wish. I wish.
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's movies where Halle Berry has sex. That plays really nicely when somebody has a different example and then just sets me up beautifully. So I was going to say that no matter what. Because that's what it is. I'm not going to even ask you about this next one. Again, not trying to goad you into picking this one, but nobody ever picks it.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Who's Your Daddy? Which you'd think would be something about Indiana. But I was in Indiana when this category came up. But Who'sier Daddy is just movies that have incest in them is that aww like a puppy or aww like a kitten
Starting point is 00:35:34 would you clarify how is it spelled Hoosier is the category H-O-O-S-I-E-R Hoosier but there is no connection to Indiana at all besides the incest
Starting point is 00:35:51 other than it's not even movies in which a cast member of Hoosiers engages in on screen incest no no that seems doable, right? That seems like a legit category. You might have directed it.
Starting point is 00:36:09 It's not even scenes with movies that feature incest with a basketball in frame. Space Jam. Tony, I've been against it. All right, I'm just going to erase the category right now. It's never going to get played. But what do you think the answer is? My plan worked.
Starting point is 00:36:29 What do you think the movie was? What was the movie, though? Incest movie? Yeah, 1974. Wow. There were so many incest movies that year. It was a big year for incest. Oh, Chinatown.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Yes, it's Chinatown. Yeah. Oh. One point. Nope, you don't get shit for that. Round of applause. Who likes Chinatown? I'm going to give you
Starting point is 00:36:52 a negative point for showing off. The movie or the location? Just the location in various different cities. Woo! Okay, for your third choice then, Werner, you get A Prairie Home Companion, which of course is...
Starting point is 00:37:07 Is it me again? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I apologize. It's Ken that's choosing. Prairie Home Companion, that's movies with bestiality. When you started campaigning against that category, maybe you think it was your turn to pick. That one tracks a little better.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And also, it's a Space Jam movie. Yes. Which one of those would you like? I'll go with the Evacuate Your Vowels. All right. Whatever. You would. Cornucopia.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I would. Yeah, you would. Famous for liking consonants. Yes. Ken Jennings. Says so in your business card. White people be liking consonants. Well, it's true.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's true. We are famous for it. Seattle, back to me. I'm going to get you one of my CDs so you know I'm not famous for the white people be liking jokes. But not exactly my genre. That's not what people like. That's not my thing.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Maybe you'd still be on the air if that were your thing, man. You're probably right about that. No, he's right. He's right. I was suggested that a lot of times. I got pushed. That was pushed. Fucking white people. Now that I'm famous for.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Boom! TNT characters. Would you like a movie with no vowels? This isn't the movie itself. This is just the title of the film. That'd be an interesting dogma kind of movie making thing. Let's make a movie without vowels.
Starting point is 00:38:58 1971, 1982, or 2002? Which year? Which vowel this year? 71, 82, or 02? I will go incest. I'll go 82. Three and a half stars from Leonard he calls this movie
Starting point is 00:39:28 slam bang also a bad year for Leonard he says he says that it had a sequel and he says that one of the performers in this movie is nothing short of sensational. Yeah, and I forgot to mention, a favorite amongst babies.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I bet you none of the baby noises are going to be even on the podcast, so we're going to all sound crazy talking about all these babies. Do you hear babies? I hear babies. Listening audience, you must believe us that babies exist. I haven't heard a baby cry
Starting point is 00:40:24 in a movie theater in a long time, though, and it seems like they finally got the hint on that one. Or am I just going at the right time? You feel as if the babies finally got the hint. Yeah, the babies are finally like, don't take us anymore. Those first words. And then he lists
Starting point is 00:40:40 a whopping 14 names? Ooh. Yeah, I think it's 14 names. Ooh. Yeah, I think it's 14 names. For Ken. I can name it in 12. Confident delivery. Big man.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Bam. 12 and a half. That's not so funny. That's a smart opening bit. I just like how he said it. Twelve, I don't know. This is beneath me. The hell is a movie?
Starting point is 00:41:16 Alright. Okay, I can name it in. I can name it in five. I'm just going all in five I'm just going all in I'm just Five Five short of all in but sure
Starting point is 00:41:30 Yes You pushed a lot but not all of it I pushed a lot yes What's Rory going to do with that I think this is a test It's all a test He's going 12 you're already pushing to five. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Okay. Let the record show I'm doing Michael Jackson's bad dance move, yes. But I think it's beat it, beat it. It's getting to me. It's getting in my head, I'm not going to lie. It makes me so nervous. Ah! Ah!
Starting point is 00:42:12 I don't know. This is more fun than that place where they throw the fish. I'm gonna go with name it name it Oh he says name it Kamau gets Five names that I assure you Will lead him to the correct answer And we'll put him on the board But let's see what happens
Starting point is 00:42:39 Let's make it official The last of your five names The first I'm going to say is the bus boys then the next name Werner's laughing the next name is Jim Haney followed by Olivia Brown
Starting point is 00:42:54 Denise Crosby and then Jonathan Banks would be your fifth name which is interesting with no vowels? there's no vowels in the title. Wait, you're just now
Starting point is 00:43:08 asking that? Yeah. I then do the worst beat hit. My shoulder is just... My shoulder is just... I thought I had it. And then,
Starting point is 00:43:31 if Busboys means it has to be an Eddie Murphy movie. Right? I'm not helping you. Come on, man. I don't fucking care. Oh, man. We're always going to win the whole thing
Starting point is 00:43:43 if you don't figure this out. Which, honestly, I'm getting a vibe Anger's dug Come out get it right Otherwise that fucking idiot in the sweatshirt wins So you have no idea How hot it is right now I thought FX
Starting point is 00:44:03 I can see why you would be confused about the whole vowel thing because the title of the film 48 Hours No that says vowels in it is 48 HRS period is the title
Starting point is 00:44:23 of the movie No no no, no. I knew 48 Hours, but there's an O-N-U in there. No. I'm getting Al Sharpton up here. This is bullshit. It's about to be Ferguson up in this piece. There's a kid.
Starting point is 00:44:39 That kid was like, yeah! No, that's not. I was not 48, no, no. I'm claiming the point. I'm claiming the point. You can do that? Yeah. It's actually a weird.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Of course I got 48 hours. It's a weird twist in the game. If you say you want the point, you get to just have it. Of course it's 48 hours. It's the bus boys, but there's only you in there. I thought the bus boys part was a real giveaway. Yeah, it was, but you... I went to the level of school where I learned what vowels
Starting point is 00:45:09 were, so I thought that... And just that level, but... I wasn't sure because I seem to remember a scene of the busboys in Sophie's Choice. It's true. They do hit a couple
Starting point is 00:45:28 of fun stops on their trip. They're boarding the train and one says to the other, I'm glad that's not me. Are they playing a show or just also on
Starting point is 00:45:44 the train? It's unclear in the film whether the busboys are journeying for pleasure or business. So, Roy, you give me the point, right? Yeah! Otherwise, I have to go to the black people meeting and talk about straight-up white man trickeration. Shit.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah. This is a big moment. How many times do you think in their career the busboys have shown up at a club and said, we're here, we're the busboys, and then the confusion began. Twice. They probably go in the
Starting point is 00:46:30 front now. If they go in the back, they just put them to work. But if they come in the front and say we're the bus boys, they can at least point to the marquee. Solid. Finally somebody's doing busboys jokes about that band
Starting point is 00:46:48 from, what year was that movie? 1982. Yes. I think I met one of those guys. Doug, I beg of you,
Starting point is 00:46:59 do not fall down a busboys hole right now. The show is only an hour long. No, we're super ahead of schedule because Rory is our winner. And yeah. Truey. I did it for Truey.
Starting point is 00:47:18 That is all skill right there. I'll let Truey decide if the point can go to you. Truey, remember. We're super ahead of schedule. So, just for alternate universe fun, let's start
Starting point is 00:47:34 with Ken again and pick another year for a movie without any vowels. What would have happened if you had said 1971 or 2002? I was pretty sure it was going to be like JFK, and then you did not say 1991 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Good job narrowing it down for everybody on the panel. I think everyone knows JFK did not come out in 1971 or 2002. I think everyone knows that. I'm pretty sure they still teach it in schools. Am I picking a year? Yes, please. 1971. Listen, that baby's got a nap to get to, so let's not drag this out.
Starting point is 00:48:16 What's that? 71. 71. All right. And we're just going to play like before. It's going to come to you next, Kamau. All right. and we're just going to play like before.
Starting point is 00:48:23 It's going to come to you next, Kamau. All right. Two and a half stars, I wonder, for this movie from 71 that has no vowels in the title. Mm-hmm. Or does it? He calls this movie a tale. He also says...
Starting point is 00:48:40 L-E, or...? Yeah, A-L-E. It's a tale. Vowels. It's a certain kind of tale. He says it's got a dull script. And he also says that on a reissue, they put out an R-rated version of it. What year is this?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Good for them. 71. 71. So the original was PG. And that's a rating you never see ever and five names is all he gives up for this movie no vowels
Starting point is 00:49:13 what about three three names sure I got nothing. Three. Three names? Sure. Okay. For no points with nothing on the line. So much was on the line before.
Starting point is 00:49:36 This bag of stuff. Name it. Oh, there we go. Why did I not get to play in the alternate universe? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought things might have gone differently. We'll play a third alternate universe with the other one, the one that's left.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Let me give you the three names, see what you can do with it. I don't feel good about it. Ian Wolfe, Don Pedro Colley, and Maggie McOrney. The Maggie McOrney? Those top two names might have helped out considerably. This is reparations.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Can you think of anything? I feel like I'm getting off easy. This is great. Yeah, no, that's a brief. No, this isn't all of it. This is the opening. This is one three billion zillionth of what is owed.
Starting point is 00:50:35 What do you think there? No vowels. No vowels. This is obviously WKRP. The movie on which WKRP. The movie on which WKRP was based. I can't even tell you how much I want that to be right. The R-rated version of WKRP.
Starting point is 00:50:59 There was sex all over the station. You couldn't broadcast. Young Lonnie Anderson, I'm down. This is a movie and a company that makes sound systems that's been drilled into our heads for many, many years. It's called THX 1138. Ah, numbers. None of those are vowels, as far as I can tell.
Starting point is 00:51:20 I keep looking at them to double check. Let's go one more time. Ken. Two and a half stars. Let me see how many. Yeah, there's lots of names. Let's let this one get to Werner, you guys. Two and a half stars.
Starting point is 00:51:36 He says this movie is about a hooligan. He says check your brains at the door and you'll have a good time. He calls it silly. And he goes, one nice touch, a musical reference to the third man. That cannot possibly be a nice touch. So highbrow, Leonard Maltin.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Yes. And he lists ten names? Ten names. How many names, Ken Jennings? I recommend ten. I'm really on a roll here. I'm going to go ten. Say ten names would be good. Kamau, I think nine's a great number for you.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I'll say nine. I think it looks really good on you. Eight sounds great for me. Oh, Rory says eight. Oh, Warner, look what happened. What is the year? 2002. I mentioned the year we are in now. This is taking forever.
Starting point is 00:52:41 taking forever. We're still not... We're like... We've got like seven more minutes left in the show. I can name such a movie in four names.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Oh, here we go. Now we come back to Ken Jennings. This is the kind of matchup I wanted to see today. Four names. I didn't want Rory to run Jennings. This is the kind of matchup I wanted to see today. Four names. I didn't want Rory to run in here.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I sensed it from the moment I saw you backstage. I'm going to make you do that one or name that movie. What's an upset? How many did you say?
Starting point is 00:53:31 Five? Four. Oh, honest man. Was that a test that I passed? I forget how scrupulous you are about the rules of the game when you are actively paying attention to it. I'm on top of it.
Starting point is 00:53:56 This is an exciting moment because nothing matters at this point. Eve was in this movie. You know that lady with the paw prints on her chest certainly from Philadelphia Thomas Ian Griffith he's got three names Eve's got one this is crazy
Starting point is 00:54:20 Richie Muller Richie spelled R-I-C-H-Y. I've never seen it like that before. And Tom Everett were your four names in this movie. From 2002. No vowels in the title. 2002. It's about a hooligan. Check your brains at the door. You'll have a good time. Silly. One nice touch. This clue doesn't help at all, I bet. A musical reference to the third man. Werner Herzog,
Starting point is 00:54:56 for no prizes whatsoever. What's the name of this movie? Is this film entitled Grrrr? What's the name of this movie? Is this film entitled... So close. It might be a language thing. In other countries, it might be pronounced that.
Starting point is 00:55:18 But here, we call it Triple X. Triple X. Yes. Good old Vin Diesel. Yeah, that category, I'm glad it's gone forever. I'm glad we only spent like half an hour on it.
Starting point is 00:55:35 We just fucking blew it out, you guys. Yeah, it confuses and annoys people. At least it finally put that baby to sleep. At least it finally put that baby to sleep. Now you have gone and woken it up.
Starting point is 00:55:54 So who is Rory playing for? Where's the... Truey. Where's Truey at? Alright, let's get these prizes to you. If everybody else could pass your name tags down if they have a shithead on the back. The tepid applause that greets Trudy's victory. So many prizes 33 cents on that Starbucks call on Shrewy
Starting point is 00:56:30 Shrewy unable to get back to his seat existing in the aisle hoping to not be noticed his seat. Existing in the aisle, hoping to not be noticed. That was the original sign-off of Siskel and Ebert. Until
Starting point is 00:56:56 then, we will be existing in the aisles hoping no one will notice. What do you got to plug, Ken Jennings? You got any appearances coming up that people should know about? I did that on purpose. I'm here at Bumbershoot tomorrow at 5, Charlotte Martin Theater. Please come by.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Obviously, listeners to the podcast, it's too late for you, but I'm speaking to Trouy and his fellow, his friends here in the crowd. His fellow aisle existers. Aisle people represent. Well, thank you, Ken.
Starting point is 00:57:28 I always appreciate you coming on and playing with us, people that don't know anything, and being beaten. And always losing badly. Yeah, yeah. Well, I've never come up against an intellect like Rory's before. You mean that, Ken? I do.
Starting point is 00:57:47 I don't think he does. You better not be fooling, Ken. You've got a real top-shelf intellect, Rory. Thank you. I'm sorry, I meant ground floor. Ground floor to TBS. Why did you stand like that the whole show? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I'm kind of liking it now that I'm doing it. Kamau, what do you got going on, man? I'm going on tour in the fall, so September and November, yes. And then a baby will be born in the middle of that, but I'll be touring around there. Oh. You're going on tour to get a baby? What happened?
Starting point is 00:58:20 That's how we do it. All right. Good luck with that. There's like a website, wkamaubell.com? That's how we do it. All right. Good luck with that. And there's like a website, wcomowbell.com? That's it. Beautiful. Yeah, check him out and go see his shows. And Rory, we already mentioned Ground Floor,
Starting point is 00:58:36 but do you have any live dates coming up? End. Oh. The baby's laughing at the notion that you have a live touring career. The very idea of it amuses this baby. Who would pay to see him live? Maybe the baby's delighted by the idea of coming to see you. Nah, that was mockery. That was mockery.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I was watching him. During my fucking plugs. Wow. I'm going to be performing in exactly 30 minutes over at the old Cornish Playhouse. Come on down. Have fun. Bring the baby.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Bring the child. I hope that baby actually is unsupervised. Just wandered in. It's a cigar in its mouth. There's babies at every show at Bumbershoot, and that's part of its charm. Warner, what can we say about you or any of your colleagues?
Starting point is 00:59:38 Dead or alive. He often gives plugs for people whose work he admires. For myself, I am directing the new campaign by Depends Undergarments, designed to take away the stigma of adults wearing diapers. It will not work. And then this evening, I am going to the comedy at the Playhouse Theater
Starting point is 01:00:04 across the way to see the Dead Authors podcast at 8pm that should be an awesome show I hope the authors are truly dead oh I think you mean the actors who portray them oh Oh, I think they're, I think, you mean the actors who portray them?
Starting point is 01:00:25 Oh. Thank you to all of my guests. One more time for Ken Jennings, W. Kamau Bell, Rory Scovel, and Werner Herzog. Rory, you can keep your shithead. I'll be at Zany's in Chicago on September 11th. Don't go anywhere with that. DouglasMadey.com for all things me. And as always, Matt, who
Starting point is 01:00:53 chanted tits while I spoke, is a shithead. Sorry I didn't sell that one. Abby Elliott is a shithead. Okay. Sorry I didn't sell that one. Abby Elliot is a shithead. Okay.
