In the 40-year-old Virgin, Steve Carell did something very painful for the first time on camera for the film. What was it? He waxed his chest? Take direction from Judd-Aardt. Recently, Hollywood has turned into Holly Weird, as if our movies have been pimped out like some male jigolo. It's no longer run by grown-ups. It's as if it's run by the woke mobs or the animals who refuse to give us what we want, laughs, gloves, more hot chicks.

If you didn't like those movie puns, this intro, well, then fuck you from LA. If you didn't get that last one or the others didn't make any sense, it's probably because they were movies starring Michael Knowles, which no one has seen. But if you did like a few of them, it's because you've actually seen good comedy movies, particularly ones with Rob Schneider.

Now, both of these men have grace the silver screen. They have both been called, quote, racist, unfunny, and genuinely offensive by critics. Possibly because they both played Native Americans on camera. But who knows more about movies in Sodom and Gondon. Moora by the C. We'll find out after you click the subscribe button. This is Face Off. Gentlemen, thank you so much for joining the show. Thank you, Ben, for having me on my own show. I think that was your best intro yet. I like how you compared my film career, probably with a

cumulative budget of movies of like $17 to the career of Rob Schneider, one of the most famous and successful movie actors of his generation. But anyway, Rob, thank you for coming on the show as well. you, Michael. I just remember being slightly scared when I ran into the airport in LAX. It's like four years ago. I cannot believe that you remember. This was, that was years and years ago. And we were at, we were both taken out for TSA secondary screening. And I wanted to commit homicide. I was so angry and mean. And then you, I was so, because you were really nice to the guy. And I said, all right, man, if Rob Schneider's going to be nice to the guy, I got to be nice too. It's just, I know you do get, you realize that there's tension in your life.

And it's like those slight, those inconveniences in our liberties. You know, you just kind of get used to them. But just because of that one Englishman, Richard Reed, decided to put, you know, a bomb in his tennis shoot, wires sticking out. For the rest of our life, we have to get our balls x-rayed, you know, and take our shoes off. At a certain point, we've got to go, enough of this, we're adults. I think we're okay. I think if somebody sees some wires in their,

shoes, they'll say something. But I remember seeing you, Michael, I didn't remember how they go, oh, Michael, like, ah, that guy's really outspoken. Like, oh, my goodness, he's out of the mainstream. Now, now you're like the calmest. Everything is made, everything you say is total mainstream. It's all backed up. It's just, you were just ahead of the curve. Well, thank you. And I'm, I couldn't have said it better myself about the, you know, getting the things x-rayed with the wires coming out. And I totally agree. You know, now, now, remember, and remember the guy was masturbating because the pictures were too close. So, you know, I'm, you know, Instead of eliminating the pitchers with the TSA guy, so they just made it more complicated for him and made him use more of his imagination for masturbate by making the pictures a little fuzzier.

It's like, hey, no, let's have about not x-raying people. That's not a good thing. Let's just like metal detector works good enough. You know what I mean? Rob, you've somehow made my perception of going through airport security even worse than it pre. It was already pretty low, but wow. Now I feel off-footed. Ben, how am I going to win this game now?

I just think you should think, you know, you can do it and stay focused the whole time. We have about 15 of these questions to get through. And then by the end, we will definitively know who knows more about movies. Because you guys are both basically the same. I ran through y'all's careers. I mean, it lines up so perfectly. Hold on. I still want to delay your game again a little bit, Ben, because I want to point out the next time you get on an airplane or you don't get on an airplane,

you should bring Rob's new book with you. You can do it. Speak Your Mind, America. Get a read. Talk about the book because it's really really. good. It is, so I... It's right up your alley. I got an advanced copy of the book. And it really is terrific. Something I like about it is it's, it's not just polemical. It's not just funny. It's very funny. But it is also quite personal. You actually talk about your family's story and your personal

life in there, too. And it's really terrific. Good to be read on an airplane or off an airplane. Yeah, I've tried to make it like each chapter about the length of what it takes to take, you know, a dump on the toilet, you know, how long and extended dump. You know, a dump and a half is basically what I try to keep to. But it was fun. I've never written a book before. And I was like, it's, you know, I've never thought that free speech would be under attack and, you know, the freest country and the history of the world. But here it is, here we are.

And you see it, you know, you, like I said, you were ahead of the curve on this. So what kind of game are we talking about here, Michael? Some dumb, stupid game. I love you. You've mentioned the scholarly length of a chapter, which is supposed to be according to, I think, the MLA handbook about. a dump and a half. So, Ben, what are the rules? It takes about as long as it takes to make a dump so that we can fly through this. Basically, you will have 30 seconds to answer one of these questions by the end. The winner will get a 30-second commercial from The Loser for either why people

should watch their show or buy their book. Are you ready, gentlemen? I'm ready. Yeah. All right. First question. On CBC broadcast on Christmas Day, President Donald Trump was removed from what classic film. Okay. All right. What do you have, Michael? I say Home Alone, too. Rob? I sit home alone too lost in New York, which I think is the correct title. That is the correct title, and they are both the correct answer, gentlemen. Excuse me, where's the lobby? Down the hall and to the left.

Thanks. I don't lose points even though Rob was much more thorough in his answer. It was much more thorough, okay. But no. Yeah, I mean, I thought like, you know, if you, but anyway, okay, we don't have to do that. We don't have to. All right. We'll see if this next one's thorough.

In the top gun Maverick trailer, which flag was originally remembered. moved from Pete Maverick Mitchell's jacket but later put back on in the theatrical release. Was it A, Taiwan, B, the British flag, C, the Japanese flag, or D, let's go Brandon? Ten seconds? Rob's really writing for a long time. I'm wondering about this answer. I'm like, what is he going to write that's going to get us kicked off YouTube? Okay.

All right, what do you have, Rob? Taiwanese flag because of the Chinese back. That also the technically thorough answer, too. That is correct. Both correct. We are tied up, gentlemen. That was a better question than the first one. I think everybody knows that one,

because Donald Trump's only been in one movie. Is that really his only cameo? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. We had to put him in it because it was his hotel. He was walking around in front of the camera. I go, maybe we put him in it, he'll go away.

We're losing light here. We've got to make sure we've got to get this Donald. out of here. Is that a true story? Because there were some articles written that he forced himself on set. And he said, no, they asked me too. They're really gracious. What's like? See, Donald Trump didn't used to be this hated guy. I remember 10 years ago at the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. Everybody was happy to see him. I mean, he was in the same elevator with Alec Baldwin. They didn't seem to have a problem together. I was in the same elevator with him. And all of a sudden, it's just because of the, it just became a madness.

You know, when they say, I always thought that the term Trump Drainseman syndrome was a bit, bit exaggerated. But now I realize it's an understatement. You know how like in the NFL, when people get a dinger, they got to go in the blue tent, you know, like when they get a head injury? That's what happens to liberals and Democrats when Donald Trump comes up. They have to like take a minute. They have to put them in the Democrat blue tent so they, you know, until they come out. That is the big blue tent, actually. It's referring specifically to that. All right. This one might be a little more difficult. It's not multiple choice. Here we go. Gene Wilder read the script for Willy Wonk in the Chocolate Factory and only agreed to play the part

if his character could do this one action on film. What was that action? Huh. Rob's riding quick, Michael. Oh, me. Uh. It's an action, too. It's not a line.

That doesn't happen. All right. You ready? Okay. Michael, what do you have? Mary Gilda Radner? Was that... I don't think that was in the movie.

That was more outside. the movie maybe? That was after the movie. Way after. I think she was 14 when that movie came out. What do you have, Rob? Let me see. Limp, fall down and get up

so we can show it's all an illusion. That is correct. Basically word for word. His reasoning was that it was simple. He knew that from that time on no one would know if he was lying or telling the truth. They would let him do that.

That's impressive there, Rob. It's not looking good for Michael Knowles. Not looking good. Yikes. Michael, I feel like you're going to help push my book today. Yeah. Through my humiliating defeat at this game. Wow.

All right, number four. What is the title of the most expensive movie ever made when adjusted for inflation? Is it A. Cleopatra. B, Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides. C. Avengers Endgame, the Waterworld. I wasn't going to answer any of those. We were going to put like lady ballers or something? No, I thought it was Avatar.

Five seconds, Michael. All right, what do you have, Michael? What do you have, Michael? I said Waterworld, because it's like the weirdest one. It's close. Rob? I mean, it's close. There's only four answers.

Cleopatra is wrong, but the reason I want to bring it up, even though it's wrong, because I want to get back into the game. But also, Leopatra, which cost $12 million in 1961, was it was, it, they bankrupted Marvin Davis, and they had to actually sell a big chunk of most of 20th Century Foxx. had to be sold then. And that's why Century City exists now because of that. Well, it used to be. Yeah, Martin Lando was a friend of mine.

He was one of the actors in that movie. And he actually said, the four-hour version was good. They cut it down too much. But, of course, the great, you know, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, they had an affair when she was married to Eddie Fisher. And that took over the film. And nobody wanted to see the film after that. So what happened was they literally, I mean,

you got to understand how big 20th century Fox was. You could have three westerns all filming at the same time on that lot, 20th century lot, and the crews would never even see each other. So after Cleopatra went bankrupt, I mean bankrupt at the studio, they had to sell it off. And that's why you have all those entertainment lawyers now. Wow. The real job creators.

So then what was the answer? The answer is Cleopatra when a Justin first place. But Rob just said it's not the answer. And I trust him more than I trust you. I thought that would be wrong. So Cleopatra, what's the adjusted one for that? It's over 400 million. The next closest is actually on Stranger Tides, the Pirates of Caribbean movie. It was pretty close, which was way over budget, but still adjusted for inflation, Cleopatra still beats it out by about 4 million. I guess. I just thought I thought I'd be wrong, but I'm glad I took the guess. And I ended up being right.

Rob was trying to help me, and I'm still losing. Wow. Wow. All right. All right. Number five. What did Christian Bail weigh in the machinist? For reference, Christian Bale allegedly weighed 240 pounds in his next film Batman Begins. But what did he get down to in The Machinist? And this is the closest without going over. Was that the AIDS movie? No. This is where he has insomnia.

But like he was skinny in that one? I don't... Yeah. I don't want to... I'm not trying to pry too much information. This is the closest without going over. All right, Rob, what do you have? A hundred and...

128 pounds of yelling at his cinematographer. I said 171 pounds. You guys both lose. It was 120 pounds, and a bail allegedly wanted to get down to 99, and they would not work with him to be got down that low. And he gained, went to 240 for Batman begins. Wow. But how many pounds did the cameras add while he was screaming at the cinematographer? Did that, did that fluctuate the number at all? Or no? First of all, can I just say that I totally agree with him? I don't think it's okay to yell the cinematographer, but when you're in the middle of a scene and somebody, and you're filming

and somebody walks in, even in rehearsal, you're not supposed to do that. So for everybody's game, what a jerk he is. I went like, wow, I get it. I'm waiting to have my Bill O'Reilly moment that sort of will do it live, throwing things at the wall. Because that, I think that's defensible too. Who's the guy in MSNBC, the bald, the light-haired guy who, the glasses? Lawrence O'Donnell? Lawrence O'Donnell. the area. Stop the hammering.

When he lost his, when he completely lost it and yelled at, I mean, I thought like, that was the thing of beauty. You, you go out of that. You go right into therapy or rehab.

Yeah. In the old days, you went to rehab. And I remember, I remember then the old days when you go to rehab, you know, that's when you,

you know, people were embarrassed. Now people go into rehab like, hey, good for you. You know, you're in, you're a truck out. Way to go.

You're now. You can't handle the pressure and you're putting your family laughs. Hey, way to go. What happened to the shame in our society? Yeah, now they publicize it. They used to hide it. Now they publicize it. Yeah, they used to hide.

And now, what happened to shame in our society? It's all gone. Anyway, I'm sorry I got that one wrong, but I knew it was in the 120s. It's close. Now, speaking of drugs and alcohol in the hangover, where do the friends eventually find Doug after his disappearance during the bachelor party? During the hangover. I've seen the hangover.

I think it's one of the few movies you have seen. I'm just going to take a guess. You go first, Michael. I'm going to say Hotel with the Tigers. I vaguely remember that in the movie. Rob? I'm going to say, I'm not 100% sure. And Mike Tyson's anus.

I don't think I could take either one of those. It was at a hotel, kind of. It was the rooftop of Caesar's Palace. He was stuck on the roof, if you remember, where they took roofies, forgot where they had placed him as a prank, woke up, didn't know where they put him. He was stuck on the roof the whole time. I don't think I can get it.

take a hotel, Michael. Like, that's... Were there tigers? No, well, there was a tiger in the hotel room, so... Was there Mike Tyson's, uh, Dyererey? I'll have to check the producers on that. No, we can't take it. You want to hear the best thing?

Hollywood story about that movie? After the third one made a billion dollars, Peter Chiron at 20th Century Fox was like, hey, this, this comedy made a billion dollars. What, what did? How did that make a billion dollars? I don't get it. And they said,

when they said, yeah, well, it made a billion dollars for Warner Bros. He said, really? Did we ever have that movie? Why didn't we have that? And one of the executives says, we did have that movie, but it got put in turnaround. He said, really?

Who's the that did that? The head of the studio, Tom Rothman. He got fired after that. Peter Tiren said, let's fire that idiot. What are we, what are they doing? So anyway, so that's how Rothman got fired. And then he ended up because of the Korean scandal, North Korea that,

Yeah, they hacked the, right, right. Hacked all this stuff. And then Amy got fired. And that's how Tom Rothman ended up at Sony. So Sony got, so he ended up over there. And that's where like, you know, the emails that went everywhere. That's why I got to see the inner emails from Sony, like one of the executives, like, why do I have to go to Rob Schneider's premiere?

I can't believe I have to do that. And I was like, well, thanks a lot. The guy was kissing my ass, and all of a sudden, he's mad that he's going to one of my movies. That was a really amazing time. It serves him right, as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, but isn't that funny, though, that... That's great. That's brutal.

Yeah, those are, all those are some of the top gross and comedies of all time. Yeah, I mean, so you can see why, like, Peter Chirman or the chairman of 20th century Fox would want to fire the guy who turned that down. Tom Rothman. They'll teach him to go to Rob Schneider's premiere. Do it happily. Number seven, in the greatest Christmas comedy of all time, jingle all the way. The whole premise of the movie was actually inspired by what Christmas toy craze, which had parents literally fighting at stores to get their children these toys.

Now, is it A, Beanie Babies? B, Tickle Me Elmo. C, Cabbage Patch Kids, or D, Burbies. I think I know. Do you remember the actual toy from the movie? Mega Man or something, like... The Turbo Man. Turbo Man, Turbo Man.

Yeah, that was a great movie. Yeah. Okay, I think I got it. All right, what do you have, Michael? Was it Tickle Me Elmo? Rob. No, I remember this specifically. Rob, just torturing you.

Furbies and Arnold Schwarzenegger's album. I hate to butt in on this one, Rob. But according to my research, it was actually the cabbage patch dolls because it was written earlier in the 80s and it came out later. Furbies were wild, but. This one they said it was basically. Really? Yeah. And at least it wasn't Sinbad's. You know, if it had to be in either of the fellas, better Arnold's than Sinbad. It was partially based on Arnold's Anas, though. So I could

maybe get a half point. It's jingle all the way. That's Phil Hartman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Phil Harmon was in. Oh, he was so good in that movie. He was good in everything. Phil was just a champion. Phil was one of those guys who would never make a mistake, ever. I remember one time, because Phil would like, he was the greatest, but he would yell at me. And I remember because I was a writer first at SNL and I would write something and he would come up to me. He said, why hell do you write that thing? It's not funny. You want me, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to die with that line. You know, you only wrote that because Warren Beatty's going to be here this weekend. And I had no idea how that was connected to all. And I would

like, hey, listen, Phil, it's funny. I think it's going to get a laugh. And then I would be standing right off stage right next to the set. And he would deliver the line. And it got an applause break and a laugh. And I just saw his face kind of do this. And to his credit, he walked, got up when the sketch ended, he walked right up to me. He said, you're right. I'm a... Really? That's great. And next week, he did it again. And it happened again. I swear, it was like the comedy gods. But Phil was, you know, he just was one of those guys who was just too good at a character. Yeah. He didn't know who he was. One of my favorite S&L sketches of all time was one of his. His, is Reagan mastermind, the Reagan genius sketch, where Reagan's like speaking in Mandarin and Arabic.

Everything that guy was in, even off S&L. I mean, everything that guy was in, it was so funny. No, he was so good. You remember him. The first thing I ever saw him and he just blew off. He just came off the screen was in Peewee's Big Adventure, which he helped write that. and the first stage show on HBO and I was like, who the hell is that guy? He was captain blah, blah, blah, who you can tell with some sort of captain or whatever.

But, you know, because that show was much very dark before it was a cartoon. It was an HBO thing and it was a live show for adults. And so that was a show that one on HBO. But Phil was just one of those super talents. And that's why, you know,

when you see Dana Carvey, he was on Saturday Night Live last week with Maya Rudolph. And you've got to say, a really funny sketch. Kudos to them. Dana Carvey, the most brilliant character actor ever on that show, ever.

His Biden is just screamingly funny. Thank you, Regis. Great to be here on the crew, the family food, food to do. Dude. Anyway. And it's really funny is that the biggest laughs were the ones at Kamala Harris' expense via the great actress of my Rudolph and Dana Carvey. And then they tried to do a couple of the Trump jokes didn't land.

Because the audience is over that. Yeah. Yeah, it's so old hat. There was also the best part of Kamala Harris getting elevated to the top of the ticket. It means that Maya Rudolph gets to do the bit. Now, hopefully it's over in November. But I was happy. I thought, well, at least Maya Rudolph gets a gig out of this.

That's good. Well, you know what? And she's unbelievable. She's always been great. You know, it's funny, though, we have to do a movie about this, about the pain that the Democratic Party had to go through to pick Kamala. Because, you know, she wasn't even in the top five. She was way down on the list below, like, you know, Gretchen Whitmer. And I'm telling you, they had to struggle.

But you know that the whole fight, like, we can't. But how do we pass over? I mean, she's a person of color. And basically, and then she's a woman. She's the VP. How do we? You know, so you know that they went through so much agonizing. And that they had to accept the agony of actually having her.

Yeah. So it's all coming to Bruce now. If Newsom had not been straight out of American. psycho, just like the whitest, maleist guy you ever saw in your whole life. They obviously would have gone for him. No, they would have picked him in a minute. That would have absolutely picked him because most people have never been to California. They don't realize that Venice Beach is the Calcutta of America. I mean, it literally is. I was literally in Calcutta. And then I came back to the United States. And I swear, Venice, it looked more like that than any place I'd ever seen. So it was just

Absolutely. But the good news is financially he's broken. Hopefully he'll be out of politics. So we got that. Go to good ranchers.com. Use promo code Knowles. You know what I had for dinner last night? You know what? I tried to have for dinner last night. I tried to have a delicious, absolutely exquisite, best in class, Good Ranchers, New York strip steak that sweet little Elisa had made for me. And I come home. But then my middle boy, they da, once. steak. And he'd already eaten his steak. But then I'm, I said, okay, buddy, you can have a few bites.

Promo code Noles, American Meat, delivered. Those stories are so good. I'm bummed. I actually have to get to the next question. But we've got to keep moving on.

This is number eight. I want to hear your dumb question. Well, and this one's more modern, too, so maybe Michael has a chance at it. What movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture last year? Why would you think I would get that? I was just holding out hope that you know. I had a better chance with Cleopatra.

Watch something other than Casablanca or the Godfather once in a while. Uh. 10 seconds. All right, Rob, what do you have? Okay. Now, this is kind of not exactly answering the question, but it is. And I think you'll appreciate it. I think Michael will appreciate it.

And I think you're more importantly, Michael's viewers will appreciate this. Something woke, ass kissing that no one in mainstream America ever saw. That is certainly technically correct. My guess, which I guess would be an example of that, is Moonlight 2? Because I assume it's something kind of weird. So I'm guessing Moonlight 2. The correct answer is Oppenheimer.

Oh. People actually did see that movie, didn't they? You know what? They did. I saw that and it was great. And I'm really embarrassed. I should have known that. And it just, it's, I think I'm going back another year.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You said two years ago. Did you say two years ago? This is last year, the most reason one. Barbie got robbed, but I heard up in 100 years. That is the correct answer for every movie 10 years prior. Yeah.

All through the 20s. You know what? No one, I mean, remember like the Academy Awards? A hundred million people would see it in America alone. And then Barbara Walters would introduce, you know, would interview like the best, biggest stars in the world. And everyone would watch. You'd watch with your mom and dad.

And then you'd watch the Oscars and a great. And now it's about 800,000 people watch worldwide. It used to be $100 million in the U.S. Because nobody cares because they're tired of being like what happened with the Will Smith thing. It's like you saw what happened. There's this abject reverse racism. If I would have slapped Chris Rock, they would have hauled me out. They would have thrown me in jail.

They would have tackled me in security. But because Will Smith and they're so afraid of anything racist or whatever, they let him get his academy award. That was just the most ass-kissing thing I'd ever seen in my life. and the academy should be ashamed of themselves that they let him stay and get his, as what Brando called, his doorstopper. On the bright side, though,

it was the only watchable moment of the Oscars, probably in the last decade. You know, I don't know. At least got some eyeballs on it. Yeah, I mean, it was funny. I was in Mexico directing a film and when it happened, my assistant in Mexico, she said,

she was looking at her phone and went like, looked at me and I go, I said, Chris Rock was slapped at the Oscars. And they were like, what are you talking about? It was like, the last time I had that kind of reaction was one like, I was on a movie in Hong Kong and they said like, Michael Tyson just bit the event of Holyfield's ear. I was the same kind of like, what are you talking about?

How does that even happen? I'll get to that in a moment. I'm directing a movie here, but I'll get back to Holyfield's ear. Just I were like, wow, that was just, you know, the same, I put that in the same group of like bizarre human behavior by a famous person. Famous rich person. That's a bizarre as nominating Kamala Harris. Number nine, which film is currently the highest grossing comedy of all times,

surpassing $1.4 billion at the global box office? Is it A, Barbie, B, Deadpool, and Wolverine? C, the Hangover Part 2, the D, Home Alone. All right, Michael, what do you have? I said Deadpool and Wolverine. Rob? Well, I'm going to say, Barbie, Revenge of the... That is correct.

Rob is correct. What? Yes. Barbie is statically a comedy and it still has made more money than Deadpool and Wolverine. And isn't that crazy? Wow. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?

I, you know, I know it's an unpopular opinion, some circles. I enjoyed Barbie. I thought it was secretly very good. I thought it was not so secretly conservative actually. I thought the whole thing was that feminism was wrong and women should like have kids and stuff. I know one of my colleagues disagreed with me, but I quite liked it. You know what? I mean, movies are movies.

And I think that people should be allowed to, you know, kind of point to what it is. But it should be entertainment-based and not trying to, you know, manipulate. But at the same time, it can work. I mean, if you look at, like, you know, what's, like, astonishingly brilliant. And I mean that. I mean, I'm surprised that how good, like, Matt Walsh's movies are. and a wonderfully surprised. Especially having met him.

You think this guy can make a good, how does that happen? Well, you realize that like, because he's not only, he's brilliant, obviously, but he's keyed into something that everybody can relate to as nonsensical

and deserving of ridicule. The only way to get like this woke nightmare to collapse or tyranny to collapse or any sort of thing is when people laugh at it. When people in the Soviet Union, you know,

nobody read the Pravda or TAS. They knew it was, complete they just counted on word of mouth and so now it's the same thing with the new york times and the l a chicago tribune and cnn and people laugh at it you had people on steven colbert show talk about the you know the joseph gerbils of the democratic party uh you know stephen colbert and his dancing syringes when he suggested that there was some objectivity to the to the viewers that cnn his own audience laughed at it that's right because it's it's laughable i know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news

as it is. Oh, I know. CNN makes a... Is that supposed to be a laugh line? I wasn't supposed to be, but... So when you laugh at it, then you know it's collapsible. Then it's about to collapse.

And that's what I think this whole woke nightmare is in months or weeks away from collapse. Right, right. When he said he made the joke, or he said the line, and then he said, I didn't mean that as a laugh line.

Why are you laughing at CNN's objectivity? I mean, anyway. It was absolutely... It was just so truthful. The audience knows. They know. Yeah. All right, number 11.

In Diehard, Bruce Willis' role was actually offered to which much older actor first. Was it A, Sean Connery, B, Frank Sinatra, C, Robert Redford, D, Clint Eastwood. Has he committed? I think so. All right, Rob, what do you have? Clint Eastwood's Anast. Michael Lee-F. I said two-thirds of that answer, Clint, Clint Eastwood. That would make by far the most sense. However, it was actually Frank Sinatra when he was 73,

because apparently he started like the prequel that it was based on back in the days. We got first offer pretty wild. It was almost a completely different movie. Wow. You know what? I got to tell you what, that's very interesting. Because you know, Clint Eastwood, these questions you always ask, you usually answer like what doesn't make sense.

So that would have made not made sense. So I should have answered that. But I'm not very good at games. the interesting do you know that the like the original a person for Dirty Harry you would can you imagine who that was

because it wasn't Clint Eastwood uh I would in 1971 a Dirty Harry was originally a studio picture that was offered to another actor and he thought it was too violent and

for him and then he ended up doing a movie very similar to it any idea I was going to say Walter Mathau because it's kind of weird and out and I can sort of see his face in it but no I have no idea. John Wayne. John Wayne. Oh man that would have been great. I mean Clint

Clint's great in the role too but wow. Clint actually was like this unbelievable. He rose above the movie. The movie doesn't hold up as much as he does. He's just this unbelievable guy. It's like a friend of mine was making movies and he was like an extra in movies that I knew back in

in Italy back in the late 60s and he said when Clinties would walk down the street It was like, seeing like Michelangelo's statue of David walking down the street. It was just this hunk of a guy, you know. And but yeah, so that's very interesting. He did another one called like McManus or McMurray or Mick, something, McMahon or something, John Wayne after. And it just didn't have that same oomph to it. I know what you're thinking.

Did I fire five shots or six? Let me tell you, dog, Grum, did I find? Well, I'll tell you right now. Did I fire? What's the line? Line. But then it was like some of those things, like those movies that, you know, like who, you know, Charles Bronson and the dead, you know, those movies where he played a vigilante. I mean, I remember seeing those movies.

He did like three of those vigilante movies, Charles Bronson. And I remember thinking, man, that the audience was so fired up. I just, I hope I don't bump into some guy's car on the way out of here because these are violent. Take your head off. Yeah. I remember also Michael Kane did one of those vigilante type moves. They always work, you know. Bad guys get blown away and everybody goes, yay.

Well, this next question is not a very violent one. This will be right up your alley. In the 40-year-old Virgin, Steve Carell did something very painful for the first time on camera for the film. What was it? All right, Michael, what do you have? He waxed his chest Rob Take direction from Judd Apok

He's a buddy I'm just kidding Judd, it's funny It wasn't waxing his chest on camera Which gave him the improvised line Ah, Kelly Clarkson Freddy Pihull Comeosiyama No! Gary Clarkson!

Apparently that was the first time he'd ever waxed it And they did it action on camera I'll have you know that I had waxed my ass and they took that from that. I'm sure. My ass racing scene in Deuce Bigelow. Okay. Thank you. Wow. You're welcome. You're welcome, Steve. I want in the director's notes of a 40-year-old virgin, I want them to cite you as a pioneer specifically for that act. He did it like live on camera before the shoot? I mean, were the ass waxing? Yeah.

I'll tell you the truth. I'm half Filipino, so I'm basically a Mexican hairless at this point. So they really had to have another, they had to have a stunt ass with real hair on it for me to do it. Man, you know, they say there's, you know. I'm a prison cell partner's a drink. I'll tell you. People in Hollywood, you know, they'll take any job they can to get on camera. but I think being your stunt sphincter, that, I don't know, man, an agent would have to convince

you to, you'd almost say you'd have to go straight from that to a Kamala Harris political ad. Did you hear those guys, but they did Kamala Harris? Like, the guy in ghost, ghost pants. I buy tampons and I'm a man for, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the, I know. It's just, it's so humiliating, you know, that I just wish like we had the unbiased media that could really make fun of it on the left because they just, they won't go near it. And they won't touch my book either.

They won't come, because it's just anything that goes against the, or that even questions a liberal intelligentsia. They're like, no, let's just pretend. Let's just ignore it to death. But, you know, you all out there, you can do it. You can go out and buy that book, which is called you can do it. right now it's a good book man you you'll dig it and it's it's nice and it tells some some good stories but also you know what also talks about the sacrifices that are required to make sure that we continue the freest country in the history of the world and this uh this whole idea of free

speech america has its problems but let me tell you this free speech is is pretty damn important in 1791 it's lasted a long time if you look at the i think it's called the the the rights of the man and of the citizen that was in 1789 it's the french version of free speech It lasted four years until they started chopping off people's heads again. You've gone since 1791 until the Harris Biden administration. Hopefully they don't get in. They seem to think it's a privilege, not a right. And I can't believe that they're that ignorant.

I don't think they're ignorant. I think they're willfully wanting to just do away with speech that doesn't agree with the Democratic Party. Yeah, just radical. All right, number 13. Who holds the record for the most acting credits in film and television with over 600 appearances? A, Danny Trejo, B, Michael Cain, C, Eric Roberts, D, Samuel L. Jackson. I feel confident about this answer. Even before you listed the names, I had this name in my head.

Okay, I got it. All right, what do you have, Rob? I know him, so I feel like I'm cheating. Danny Trejo's Anas. You know it, you mean. You know, yeah, you know specific. I'm guessing Eric Roberts. Danny Trejo is second with over 400, but Eric Roberts is at over 600.

He is the man in the myth, the legend currently. Eric Roberts, my goodness. I've got to call him. It's actually 5'4 Rob right now. Michael's getting close. Oh, man, thank you, Eric. Don't call it a comeback. Don't call it a comeback.

All right. Number 14. What was the first horror film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards? Was it A, The Exorcist, B, Psycho, C, Jaws, D, Rosemary's Body? Baby? Rosemary's baby. Sorry. Oh,

now you're going to listen to you. Say it again? All right. The first one, it was The Exorcist, Psycho, Jaws, or Rosemary's Baby. All right, Rob, what do you have? Okay. All right. Psycho, anus.

No. I said Rosemary's baby. It's actually the Exorcist. It was the first one. I almost said The Exorcist. Which I really thought psycho. It was such a gigantic hit. I know.

I don't understand. Was it nominated. for Best Picture, though. But next one, another classic film question. What was the first film to show a toilet being flushed on screen? All right. Was it A, Psycho, B,

the Graduate, C, Bonnie and Clyde, D, Animal House. This was a big deal at the time. First time they ever showed a toilet being flushed on screen. There were no anus's scene. Yeah, it does seem to. This might finally be the vindication of Rob's answers. Yeah. Okay. All right, what do you have, Michael?

I said animal house Rob Animal house Jombolous It's actually psycho Believe it or not Psycho Oh wow

Showed a tall big flush on camera For the first time Wow Really? It was quite a controversial moment Apparently back in the day More than her being stabbed on camera Yes

You look at it's one of the main things That pops up People were outraged after she was stabbed And then they saw the toilet being flush That was a bridge too far No, you never saw the stabbing. That's interesting. It's in the, it's behind the curtain, right?

You see the knife coming up and then you see the bloody hand ripping down the, but you never see the stabbing. And what's his face? The director, Hitchcock said that was much scarier than showing it. But that was something that like the imagination is always going to come up with more frightening stuff. Yeah. Especially, like when I think about. like Rob, your answers to all of these. And because you just get,

my imagination is coming up with probably something that is more frightening than the actual reality of it. Yes, exactly. You should see Big Stan, by the way. That movie Big Stan. It's a really funny joke in the end. And in the end, it's an actual joke about something of, it's where a guy goes to prison.

The movie got lost in the distribution. But it's about, I play this guy. And they redid it called Get Hard with Will Farrell. and Kevin Hart. But the original's better, obviously. But there was a thing where he had a tattoo around his anus to make sure that nobody would ever, he wouldn't get, you know, violated in prison.

And then the people were like, well, you know, what do we do? What's the tattoo? And I was like, I don't know, whoopee Goldberg, Hillary Clinton, I don't know. We ended up not showing anything. The imagination was worse. But we actually had the property to draw up like Hillary Clinton.

And then... Well, even if you leave people just to their imagination, at least 87% of people would just put Hillary Clinton, just naturally by their imagination. People are going to have to use their imagination when they watch this on YouTube because it's just going to be blurred out and canceled out and bleeped out. One and Out is known for its lengthy runtime approximately 12 hours and 53 minutes. However, it is not considered a traditional film, so it doesn't hold the record for the longest. No, among mainstream traditional films with a theatrical release, which has the longest runtime.

It was an A, Cleopatra, B, Avengers Endgame, C, the Irishman, D. Gone with the Wind. This was for the original theatrical release. What about Barry Lyndon? They make the list. It might not be one of the traditional films. Like, at some of our film festivals, it wasn't like a...

It's a traditional film. Studio theatrical release. It's got a... Barry Lynn's like five hours or something. These were all pretty long. If I find out it was really Barry Lyndon, and I don't get this point, I'm going to throw it up again on the show and try to backcheck me. Well, I'm going to say, I think Bergman's Franny and Alexander is actually the longest one. I think you're wrong about this. Yeah, I'm certain Ben is wrong. I'm positive. But of this list, I guess I would say the Irishman?

The Irishman is very close. It's not gone with the wind. Gone with the wind. Gone with the wind. is like four minutes shorter than the original theatrical release of Cleopatra, that four hour and 11 minute version that you were talking about, Rob, the long theatrical version. Slightly longer.

Well, they released a less two-hour version of it. The original cut that Martin Landau said was better. Irishman is long, too. I think Gone with the One was three hours and 58 minutes. It was pretty close. All right. Which 1927 film is considered the first talkie film with synchronized sound?

First movie of sound. was that the jazz singer, Sunrise, Metropolis, The Great Train Robbery. Do you remember the first movie with color, Michael? That is? Well, I think so. Is it on that list? No. Oh, it's not.

Okay. The color is much later. Got it. All right, Rob. You got it? Let's see if he'll maintain the lead. 1927, the jazz singer, starring Joe Biden. Starring Joe Biden in blackface.

I guess more like Justin Trudeau probably in that case. Would you write, Michael? I agree. The jazz singer. Dallas and Jolson. I love to sing her. Yeah, both got it right. So what's the score going into this?

I think I'm ahead. 65. 6 to 5, Rob. Here we go. Last question. According to Ranker.com, the public ranking sites, this is very accurate. Which Rob Schneider film have fans ranked the highest?

Is it A, the hot chick? B, grown-ups. C. Duce Bigelow. Gigolo, the Big Stan. So this is not the objectively true answer. This is what Rancor said. This is what the audience that watches

all of Rob's films, what they think. This is not the Critic Reviews and Rotten Tomatoes, which are all garbage, where they rank it like that. This is the people. The people voting, what is the best movie? Okay, okay. All right, I feel, I feel, I feel confident about my answer. All right, Michael, what do you have?

I say Deuce Bigelow, no doubt, right? 1999, one of the greatest years for film of all time. Probably is the greatest year of film of all time. Rob, what do you have? I'm just writing. Got grown-ups co-starring David Spade's Ballsack.

Wow. See, there's a twist at the end there. Those are all fantastic guesses. They're all top five on the list. However, the hot chick. Really? People's favorite movie, Rob. No, look, hot chick's great.

I'm just saying better than do Spingalo? It's to the test of time. People love going back to it. It's a chick flick. and you know the women, they like to vote. They do, they do. They do. It's been a long time since that 19th Amendment's been around. How's it worked out?

Yeah, they like to take advantage of it. Wow. Well, Rob, to the winter goes, the spoiled. However, this is a gentleman's game. And if you would wish to gamble all your winnings on a double or nothing question, we do have one more. Or you can take your winnings and have Michael start rambling off about why people should buy your book. No, let's double down.

And then please, Michael, we should do a real conversation. one of these days, but this is, this was fun. Let's do double or not. Okay, all right, wow. So you're doing double or nothing. Rob, by the way, I totally agree. What this experience has mostly taught me is I want to speak to you without Ben Davies just chiming in and pop. I want a one-on-one with Rob. You know, his picture's bigger than ours in the middle, too. You know, we can move it back. How did that happen? I get you. I get you. I'm on to you. All right, here we go. Double or nothing. Here we go. there's been a lot of performances over the years that have triggered some critics.

Now, according to ranker.com, again, the public ranking site, what whitewashing performance was deemed the most offensive? Just as a hint, it was not Prince Habibu, Chief Running Mouth, or the Asian priest from Chuck and Larry. It's either one of these performances. Was it, A, Marlon Brando, who played a Chinese or a Japanese translator in Tea House of the August Moon? Was it B, Catherine Hepburn, who played a Chinese,

woman in the Dragon Seed. C. Johnny Depp as Tonto in the Lone Ranger. D. Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yokashi in Breakfast at Tiffany's or E. John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror. Didn't Sean Connery do one that was pretty wild too? In, okay, anyway, I'll limit it to my... Got it. Okay, hold on. I got a lot riding on this. Yeah. Okay. All right. What do you have, gentlemen? You can do it.

Okay, you go first. I say Mickey Rooney. Pretty offensive. What do you have, Rob? Mickey Rooney slanted anus. It wasn't that the actor, so that makes sense. Well, I mean, that was the most offensive one, but it's probably wrong, because that's probably the easiest one. I don't know. When you see the Brando photo, you may think it's the Brando one. It's fantastic. However, according to ranker.com, none of those were as offensive as John Wayne playing Genghis Khan and The Conqueror.

I almost said John Wayne. Which is a fantastic photo. I forgot because of the mustache. Yeah, that was beautiful. What about Lawrence Olivier is the Mad Mockdi? Remember that? That was a great one. No? Okay. But to the victor does go the spoils since those cancel each other out. Michael, would you please give 30 seconds for why people should buy. Gladly.

I'm glad I lost, in fact, so that I can tell people, right now, stop what you're doing, go to Amazon or wherever you get your books, whatever. You can do it by Rob Schneider, a book that is part memoir. It's very funny. It's funny throughout. And part political wisdom and polemic. Go get you, right now, go get you can do it. And I won't add on to that any parts of any orifices or any appendages. Just go get the book.

There's some pictures of me and Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, me and the Rock, me and Stallone, me and that guy from Cleopatra, Martin Landau, right there. Not only do you get great words of wisdom from Rob, but you also get very cool pictures. So for those of people who are illiterate, you'll get good pictures out there, too. Hey, Michael, we have a real conversation next time. And nothing wrong with your questions. I thought your questions were terrible, Ben. But I look forward to having a real conversation with Rob. Rob, thank you very much, sir, for coming on.

Ben, you know. Thanks for allowing time to make you less radical. And thank you to everyone watching. Well, there you have it.
