a Parks and Rec themed

3:30

episode at the just mentioned

3:33

UCBLA I don't

3:35

know how many years ago it was now but

3:37

it's Jim O'Hare hey Jim hey Doug I was

3:39

I was wondering if that was true like I'm

3:42

thinking I remember us doing it but then I

3:44

thought maybe I made that up but we did

3:46

do that right with the cast and you yeah

3:48

it was crazy it was Amy

3:51

Ben Schwartz Chris

3:54

Pratt yeah I think

3:56

Nick was there too wasn't he Adam

3:58

Scott there was like Seven, I

4:00

don't think Nick Offerman was there.

4:03

And Aziz has been on, had

4:05

been on Douglas movies a bunch, but

4:07

he wasn't on that. Retta was probably

4:09

there. Yeah, yeah. But it was like

4:11

seven of y'all. It was really fun

4:13

and exciting, but

4:17

happy to have you back on the occasion

4:20

of your new podcast that

4:22

you're just starting. Yes, yes, yes, happy

4:25

to be here. It's

4:28

called Parks. Parks and Recollection. Yeah,

4:30

and I do it with Greg

4:32

Levine, who was a writer on

4:34

Parks from beginning, actually he was

4:36

with Greg and Mike Schur,

4:38

Greg Daniels, Mike Schur, who co-created Parks. He

4:40

was working with them over at the office.

4:43

And so he was with them from the

4:45

very inception of the show up until the

4:47

very end. So the

4:50

two of us, it's a rewatch podcast.

4:52

So we just go through each episode.

4:54

We have guest stars, including some of

4:56

the cast members and the writers and

4:58

some of the producers that were

5:00

involved. So it's really, we're probably having too

5:02

much fun, but so far it's been just

5:04

a lot of laughs. It

5:07

sounds great. Do you have a, has

5:10

there developed over the years a name for Parks

5:12

and Rec fans? Is there like a fun word

5:15

for them? It's just Parks and Rec. I mean,

5:17

first of all, technically it's Parks and Recreation,

5:19

but people call it Parks and Rec or P&R.

5:22

I've seen P&R a lot, but generally

5:24

it's Parks and Rec, yeah. Maybe

5:27

like the fans can be

5:29

called P&R heads. Yeah, I like

5:32

that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm

5:34

just saying you're gonna have to call them

5:36

something. Something, yes, yeah. They're rabid. It's a

5:38

rabid fan base, which has been awesome. And

5:42

there's certain shows I'm a rabid fan

5:44

of. So I'm just, I'm

5:46

always just so grateful that I ended up on a

5:48

show that has this type

5:50

of longevity. We're still pretty

5:53

popular out there. And

5:55

that's luck of the draw. You know, I've been on many,

5:57

many shows over the years. They come and go. You never

5:59

hear another. word from them.

6:01

But Parks, it's still

6:03

there and the fans

6:06

are still with us. Yeah,

6:08

you know Comedy Central's giving it a

6:11

lot of runs and I'm sure it's

6:13

available in lots of different ways.

6:16

It's on Peacock, it's on some

6:19

channel called Esquire. Yeah,

6:22

it's just wild. All these years later and we're

6:24

still out there. Yeah, and

6:26

also not a topical reference

6:29

heavy. It really is pretty evergreen

6:31

when you watch it. I agree.

6:34

I mean there's a couple of political references

6:36

that obviously we hold up because Joe

6:39

Biden did an episode but he was the VP at

6:41

the time. Obviously that

6:43

has changed. Michelle Obama was

6:45

the first lady at the time

6:48

so that has changed. But yeah, other than

6:50

that, it is pretty

6:52

evergreen. Well,

6:55

congratulations on the podcast and

6:57

thanks for joining us here

6:59

and joining us

7:02

for his first time.

7:04

You know him from America's Got

7:06

Talent and I'm doing

7:09

a show with him on

7:11

Saturday, April 20th at the

7:13

Bear River Casino in Lolita,

7:15

California. It's Ryan Niemiller.

7:18

Hey Ryan. Hey Doug, how are

7:20

you? So

7:23

I'm good thanks and like 90%

7:27

of the time people just the first shot they

7:29

take is Niemiller. Oh

7:31

or Niemiller. That one happens a lot. So it's

7:33

my fault for 17 years ago being stupid and

7:36

not doing

7:40

a stage name and using my

7:42

actual government name. That is my

7:44

fault. Guys, like for the longest time

7:46

I couldn't build a fan base because people would see me

7:48

do a show, think I was good and

7:50

Then they'd find me five years later. I

7:53

was like I looked up Ryan E. Miller.

7:55

Where were you? Well, we're on the internet.

7:57

I have a stupid German name. I'm sorry.

8:00

A surfer? well ah the it out

8:02

your bake it at work I say

8:05

get the I'm just. Grateful.

8:07

That you know, I did the research

8:09

to make sure that I. Pronounce

8:12

it correctly Because even when you know, even

8:14

when you think you're saying you're right, it's

8:16

easy to get that. He had our

8:18

tricked. By it or not, nothing is more

8:21

fun for me than watching like a like

8:23

hosts at a comedy show. Spike grammarly going

8:25

over at Michael gets me it's me Miller

8:27

and me Miller anymore and they get up

8:29

there and just exploded. You're not allowed to

8:31

have an idea of like whatever you buy

8:33

a matter of ah come on stage when

8:36

you say a name. But while I bet

8:38

us to the package and like that a

8:40

John Travolta with a demon cel when it

8:42

matters that much as I thought you know

8:44

he went over her name a thousand times,

8:46

you a key have made. Him and his

8:49

head and then of course kaboom the i

8:51

your brain just explodes yes this and other

8:53

one hour drive has been. See was really

8:55

see was quite a professional though I may

8:58

I guess he was singing a song to

9:00

see disorder launched into it but doesn't even

9:02

have that look on her face like what

9:04

that specific set of zebras. I wasn't even

9:07

close it was a bit of the Hobbit

9:09

are the easier it is it'll the endlessly

9:11

entertaining an hour It's always enjoyed that clip

9:13

of. So. Ryan. I.

9:17

Also was trying to think of

9:19

a with your experience with the

9:21

aged. See you are on. More.

9:24

Than one season. Why you came back

9:26

Like is an all star something like

9:28

that, but erect? Yeah. so I was

9:30

on season fourteen. Ah, in Twenty nine

9:33

team. I got third place or

9:35

map run because I was unfortunately on the

9:37

other cody least season and and I'm pretty

9:39

sure you are totally fan. I think that's

9:41

came up with Mexico to see how. a

9:44

yeah i ever figured we'd exchange where you

9:47

were very excited to see cody and someone

9:49

was like oh comedian right knee market be

9:51

there to what you're like yeah whatever cody

9:53

internet and at em as bad habits even

9:55

was what what i loved code l of

9:58

his family but up the first note came

10:00

out of his mouth, I was like, so I'm going for

10:02

second place, right? That's what we're trying to do here. Yeah,

10:06

comedians are just basically kind

10:09

of, you know, screwed in general

10:11

with that show, because it's just, you

10:14

know, there's always, I mean,

10:16

there's some comedians have done

10:18

very well on the show,

10:20

obviously, but it's just that

10:23

you're competing against like, Cody Lee,

10:25

or, you or people that are

10:27

defying death. Yeah, they're literally

10:29

on fire. Yeah, yeah, the

10:31

problem is, here's why I always try to explain

10:34

it to people, a comedian will never win. Because

10:36

like, say that you there's a juggler

10:38

on the show, but you hate jugglers.

10:41

You could still watch a juggler and be like,

10:43

okay, he clearly practice really hard. He's very good

10:45

at what he does. I just don't like it.

10:48

If you don't like comedy, I'm just up there

10:51

and I look like I'm talking. Nobody thinks that

10:53

the talent if you don't like comedy, it's like,

10:55

oh, he's standing there talking any jackass can do

10:57

that. I'm not voting for him. That's stupid. And

11:00

you just you're just never going to get around that on some

11:02

people. Yeah, no, you have to be

11:05

charismatic and call it spoken word to

11:07

win. Yes.

11:12

Well, congratulations on all your success

11:14

with it. So far.

11:17

Do you think is that something that you

11:20

would go back to again? Do they is

11:22

there that a possibility like another all star

11:25

season or something? If they asked me to

11:27

I would it's one of the

11:29

situations you know, my life completely changed. I

11:31

was, you know, before that 2019 season, I

11:33

was an old road dog. You know, I'm

11:35

I was living in the middle

11:38

of Indiana. That's where I'm from. I can

11:40

confirm that most of Indiana is like Pawnee

11:43

Jim. So it's very, very

11:45

similar. Most of

11:47

my family still is in Indiana. I

11:49

know all about it. Oh, well, Gary,

11:52

Gary, dire

11:54

and Crown Point. Oh, so I

11:56

grew up in Damat, Indiana, up

11:58

12:00

13:20

by you guys. Well. That's

would like to take a moment

13:42

to talk about. Old. Movies,

13:44

New movies, whatever you want, but I'd

13:46

like each of you to just recommend.

13:49

One. Movie will start with day

13:51

the. What's. Your. What?

13:54

Would you like to recommend today? Yeah.

13:56

I am. I

13:59

went on a. The Real Baseball movie run

14:01

recently because I'm dating someone who's who.

14:03

Saw Angels in the outfield was the

14:05

best baseball movie ever made. Us I

14:07

we need to sit down at Ss.

14:10

What I'm saying about a true story game

14:12

So better. Why I can. Suss

14:15

it out. So I went back and I'm

14:18

in Minnesota and so I was. Little big

14:20

league which for a kid that ends up

14:22

isn't it a sports executive as like this

14:24

is actually kind of one. Of

14:26

the recommend that. Little.

14:29

Barely. Leave. And.

14:34

That. Is not affiliated with big league to.

14:37

Know. Though that I had a long

14:39

career to who invents in some the same as invent

14:41

big league chew. Oh. I'd I'd

14:43

have no idea about that, but.

14:46

Sounds. Like something a famous person would do,

14:50

So who is in Little Big lead? Some.

14:52

It's the kid from American Pie. On.

14:56

What? Sleeping bags, Know a

14:58

way. Maybe I'm confusing at know when I was with

15:00

your beer the our job is that that the yeah

15:02

I just watch as much What? Why can't I think

15:04

of his name. But.

15:07

It's the kid from that other baseball movie. Yes,

15:09

it's the it's the. It's

15:12

like a man like early nineties, maybe like

15:14

ninety four. Of all I do find

15:16

some like that. Yeah. Anna.

15:20

We. Have a war after Rookie of the

15:22

Air. That's. A really great

15:24

question because as a small child that was on the

15:26

rookie the year to the can actually plays baseball. Supposed

15:28

to like with works for the team but now the

15:31

thirty two year old am I working for the team?

15:33

Six more. Very reasonable. So

15:35

did you officially establish what is

15:37

the best baseball movie? That

15:39

I mean I'm I'm for. I'm I'm

15:42

moneyball person. Oh right. But when

15:44

people say the natural or sam

15:46

lot. More. A minute

15:48

out, you know I think there's other answers. But.

15:51

You been watching all of them to try to

15:53

prove. Yeah. And it's not working.

15:56

She's She's really help and smelling. I just want

15:58

to feel like I'm eat again and like

16:00

loading the removal can do that to her. Maybe.

16:03

The sandlot could I guess is. but

16:05

yeah, You know a angels

16:07

in the outfield that's just like I

16:10

feel like to to. Were really love

16:12

that you have to see it. it's

16:14

just the right age or take Vienna.

16:16

I think anything on says that it's

16:18

still good even then we want said

16:20

we know is now bad that the

16:22

best people do that. Are

16:24

I'd a gym and you got a

16:26

movie like a Recommend! Ah I'm in

16:28

a fraud to just because once documentary

16:30

so I don't have you guys. Were.

16:33

You guys fall on those. But

16:35

I was at remembering Gene Wilder.

16:38

Ah, I just saw it last

16:40

week. It's really lovely. He obviously was

16:42

a lovely man. A Mel Brooks is.

16:45

Really? The main voice of the documentary was

16:47

so that was really cool. I don't know

16:49

because he added super gone Alan Alda as

16:51

in There and you hear how how it

16:53

all came together at Mel Brooks Changed his

16:55

life of from beginning because he was dating.

16:59

Or who's is why? Air. Bancroft. He

17:01

and I and it turns out the

17:03

Gene Wilder was doing a play with

17:05

Bancroft and Broadway that actually didn't do

17:07

so well. But Mel fell in love

17:09

with Gene Wilder is far as his

17:11

talent and what he thought he could

17:13

do and ever since they met he

17:15

couldn't see anyone else in. Would.

17:17

Often be would become the producers other

17:19

than Gene Wilder. so they they have

17:21

this. Story. They just went on

17:23

and on their whole careers, which was lovely.

17:26

Him and Koreans are, You know, he passed

17:28

away ultimately of alzheimer's and dementia know that

17:30

kind of stuff. But you hear the stories

17:33

you hear about his romance with Gilda Radner.

17:35

Ah, all the different movies. so I was

17:37

riveted. I just I absolutely loved it. And

17:39

then movie wise, as far as a movie

17:42

movie, I did Love Love, Lies, Bleeding and

17:44

you Guys He met one. I

17:47

did see that one would Kristen Stewart.

17:50

That. Ah yeah it's that's

17:52

a oh wow. What?

17:54

how would you describe it to so while it's

17:57

first other thing i have to say i have

17:59

become more and more and I can't think of

18:01

the name of this film other than it might be

18:03

called Remembering Eileen or Remember Eileen but I saw a

18:05

film on a plane last month

18:07

with Kristen Stewart. I think

18:09

she's much better than I had ever given

18:11

her credit for because to me she

18:14

was one of the girls you know from

18:16

the franchise and I don't

18:19

know I just thought that's who she was but

18:21

I think she's really come into her own and

18:23

I think she's I think she's really

18:25

good and this one is kind of all

18:27

over the place. I mean there's it's a

18:29

very sexual film she falls

18:31

in love with Jenna Maloney and and

18:34

Ed Harris is in there he's total

18:36

wacko. Yeah I really don't know how

18:38

to describe it but I left there

18:40

going wow I like that it

18:42

was crazy but I liked it. Yeah I

18:45

saw it and I you know if somebody said to

18:47

me like you know well what kind of movie is

18:49

it it's just really it's a lot going on

18:52

there's a lot going on yeah you wouldn't call

18:54

that a comedy it's definitely dramatic but there's some

18:56

comedic moments but I don't even think it's a

18:59

dramedy I don't

19:01

know it's all over the place. Yeah

19:03

and Ed Harris is really he's

19:06

really he's really come

19:08

into playing scary characters. Yeah he

19:10

nails it. Okay

19:13

so two from Jim Bryan. Two from

19:15

me. We only need one. Only

19:18

one if I had to do three just

19:20

to make the pattern work. Yeah go

19:22

on the pattern yeah. So it's a

19:24

little bit of recency bias so as just

19:27

a human I am generally

19:29

very contrarian if everybody talks

19:31

about how something great it is you have

19:33

to give me 20 years to watch it

19:37

before I can actually give it an honest because if

19:39

you say this is the greatest movie I've ever seen

19:41

I'm going to try to watch it and find everything

19:43

I hate about it. You're wrong

19:45

because I'm mad. It's a big character flaw of

19:47

mine I know that but

19:50

on a plane I had a really long flight a couple

19:52

weeks ago and I went ahead

19:54

and watched everything everywhere all at once.

19:57

Yeah that movie is phenomenal.

20:01

I don't know if it's too new to like

20:03

recommend on here. It's

20:05

not a deep enough cut, but man,

20:08

I'm practically crying on an

20:10

airplane like a jackass because that

20:12

movie was fantastic.

20:16

I came in with the wrong thought process. I

20:18

thought it was going to be all subtitles

20:20

and all this and that, but it was not

20:23

at all what I was expecting. It

20:25

was phenomenal. Oh,

20:27

and the best baseball movie is Major League by

20:29

the way. Oh, okay. You

20:32

may be right. It's definitely the funniest. Yeah,

20:36

I would definitely best baseball comedy, but

20:39

everything everywhere all at once has

20:42

been a consistent from the day

20:44

it came out has been

20:46

a consistent recommendation from people on

20:48

this show. So

20:51

you're in good company with lots of

20:53

people who recommended it and they

20:57

were on it immediately. As

21:00

soon as it came out, it was sort of on the

21:03

road to best picture and to being

21:05

considered a classic.

21:09

Well, now that Ryan likes it, I hate it

21:11

because I am also a... So

21:14

I totally changed my opinion on that film. That's

21:17

what I wanted to happen actually there, Jim. I'm

21:20

tired of being the contrarian himself

21:22

to cause the contrarianism. I'm

21:24

taking over. I

21:26

love that movie, but I just really... I tense

21:29

up before and then for the

21:31

rest of the movie after the scene

21:34

where Ki-Hai Kwon is giving himself

21:36

paper cuts on purpose. Yeah,

21:40

that hurt me and I barely

21:42

have fingers, Doug. So that

21:44

What makes a life a good one? Is

22:19

it the adventure you have? Or

22:21

the friends you find along the way? Maybe

22:24

it's pursuing your passion while striving to

22:26

protect, defend and save what you believe

22:28

in. Every single day. So

22:33

what makes a life a good one? In

22:36

the Coast Guard, we think it's all

22:38

of the above and more. You'll

22:40

have to find out for yourself. Visit

22:43

www.gocoastguard.com to learn more. We

22:49

are back and the

22:51

first game we're going to play today is

22:55

something that I call, How

22:57

Many Is It? This

23:00

game is formally called How Long Is It?

23:03

But today we're calling it How Many

23:05

Is It? I'm going to name a thing

23:08

and then each of you are going to guess how

23:11

many there are of that thing. And

23:14

then the closest without going over Price

23:16

Is Right style will

23:19

be our

23:22

winner of this particular game. Is it still

23:24

a $100,000 prize? Is that standard? I

23:30

just assumed. It's the only reason I'm here, Doug. We

23:32

had to stop. This podcast has

23:34

been going for like 17, 18 years now. And

23:38

we had to stop giving away

23:40

the prize money after the pilot.

23:42

We did a pilot episode. Just

23:44

the one time. And we spent all of our money. It

23:49

turns out it doesn't cost

23:52

that much to do a

23:54

podcast to record

23:57

it and post it. So that's where we're

23:59

going. going the cheap route

24:01

unfortunately but you will be very I

24:04

think you'll be very happy when you find

24:06

out what what you win if you win

24:08

okay yeah it's pretty

24:10

exciting so Tom

24:14

Hanks in the titular

24:18

role how many times has

24:21

that happened now the man with

24:23

one red shoe doesn't count

24:26

because it's not even though

24:28

he does play that man

24:30

arguably the man's name

24:32

is not in the title same with

24:34

like volunteers obviously he and John Candy

24:36

were the volunteers and Rita

24:38

Wilson but it's still

24:40

not specifically the title character

24:43

a name of Tom

24:45

Hanks character first last or both has

24:48

to be in the title Gabe

24:50

Europe first how many

24:52

do you think there are

24:55

Tom Hanks movies where he's

24:57

the title role without

24:59

going over huh without going

25:02

over I'm

25:04

gonna say that he's been in a lot of

25:06

movies yeah I'm gonna

25:08

say this has happened nine

25:10

times okay solid

25:16

solid start Jim

25:19

okay so like the movie

25:21

big he would that wouldn't

25:23

be included right no cuz even

25:25

though you could argue that he is the

25:28

one that becomes big right when

25:30

the dreams of being

25:32

big it's still not you know

25:34

the movie needs needed to be

25:36

called Billy Big Biggie Big Man

25:38

no we don't talk about big anymore he got in trouble

25:51

he's bye-bye okay

25:55

Oh boy. So like the boy. Like even Da

25:57

Vinci Oh boy. Or

26:00

in that case, I'm. In I'm

26:02

of even go lower or I'm going to

26:04

say seven. Okay, What?

26:08

Do you think Ryan? Ah, I

26:10

see. Like. Now. I'm

26:12

to. I'm torn between whether I should

26:15

add actually try to think of the

26:17

movies or just use. Ah,

26:19

the the price is right strategy.

26:21

And. Hope that I when. Oh.

26:24

Yeah, I go ten instead of nine

26:26

make than me. Miller really come in

26:28

handy with this late alphabet budget deficits.

26:30

I go. I'm sorry I call him

26:32

Nine Miller Just see you as. A

26:36

of an audience as it's an

26:38

old Indiana name on success and

26:40

ah I. I know there's probably

26:42

more than this, but ah I'm

26:44

gonna save one blending in a

26:46

magazine that range of one to

26:49

seven. I banged

26:51

so you thought, then I'm a daily

26:53

pretty much daily watcher of Price is

26:55

right and. The. Of the

26:57

when the people bid on the prizes now

26:59

they still go for that. Occasionally Seville the

27:01

try to be cute and and just bit

27:03

a dollar. Andrews always liked Learner

27:05

you know, so it's very exciting. but laugh

27:08

at a. With. The movie is

27:10

these days is to dollar the the

27:12

highest bid to just add a dollar

27:14

to it because the initial prize the

27:16

people did on is generally like fifteen

27:19

hundred to three grand a h one.

27:21

Lately you know they've gotten so expensive

27:23

and but people are still bidding their

27:25

opening bid to like six fifty eight

27:28

hundred. You know the eyes. of

27:30

their tend to be way off so any by

27:32

listening if he can get on. Price is right.

27:34

I would definitely recommend. A Just

27:36

adding a dollar but that would not

27:39

have worked. Today.

27:43

Because in fact, Tom.

27:45

Hanks by my count would see no

27:48

could certainly be off. Has.

27:50

appeared in nine movies long

27:52

time to check their lives

27:54

at a yeah gave to

27:56

build it up the very

27:58

first bed while with

28:02

exactly nine and

28:04

let's go through them shall we? Most

28:07

recently he was a man

28:09

called Otto. Remake

28:13

of a movie I enjoyed very much so I

28:15

haven't gone around to seeing it yet because the

28:17

original was so good I don't know why they

28:20

had to redo it other than just a juicy

28:22

role for Tom Hanks.

28:25

Also recently

28:27

he was in a movie with

28:31

a little doggy that I

28:33

never saw but I just

28:35

always assumed that the movie was

28:37

named after the dog but it's

28:39

actually Tom Hanks's character is called

28:41

Finch. Oh

28:44

yeah. Yeah it was for

28:46

you know went straight to Apple

28:48

TV. Finch is a good dog name so

28:50

I would have made that same mistake. Yeah I would have

28:52

too. Yeah. And that film was off my radar

28:54

I don't think I've ever heard of it. Yeah

28:56

it just you know it landed on

28:58

streaming you know Apple where they have like you

29:01

know they don't have

29:03

enough new things to add to bother checking

29:07

on you know it's like okay Ted Lassa's done

29:09

now what. Next

29:12

one was a pretty

29:16

memorable turn is the title

29:18

character in Sully. Oh

29:20

yeah. Yeah. Good old

29:24

Sully Sullenberger and

29:26

before that of course

29:29

he was the captain and then he wasn't the

29:31

captain then he was the captain again in Captain

29:33

Phillips. I am the captain

29:35

now. Yeah the power transfer

29:37

is part way through the film. And then

29:41

his I think the second

29:44

or third movie he directed was a

29:46

he played the title character

29:48

in Larry Crown. Oh even

29:52

a Larry Crown affair was that the

29:54

name of it. No. Just

29:57

Larry Crown. That was it was the Thomas

29:59

Crown affair. Oh That's what Larry

30:01

Crown is. That

30:03

is the Midwest version of the Thomas Crown

30:06

affair. Yeah.

30:08

And this is Larry Crown is

30:10

the, you know, the classic where

30:12

Tom Hanks his character, Larry Crown

30:14

decides to continue his education. I

30:16

think he goes to community college

30:18

and he meets Julia Roberts at

30:22

community college and

30:24

then he he whiffs her away on

30:26

his Vespa. I'm not making this up.

30:30

This is a real movie that Tom

30:32

Hanks had the nerve to make. And

30:35

then, of course, it was

30:37

his war. He was

30:39

responsible in Charlie Wilson's war. Sure.

30:43

Yeah. And then, you know, obviously the

30:45

one that everybody thought of when you're

30:47

talking Forrest Gump. I mean,

30:50

when you're talking Tom Hanks. I

30:53

always think Forrest Gump when I talk about Forrest Gump. So

30:55

you are correct. Me too. Here's

30:58

a weird thing I never knew. Did you

31:00

know his character in Philadelphia? His name is

31:02

Joe Philadelphia. You're

31:06

joking, right? Am I falling for a bit? Yeah,

31:09

no, I'm just kidding. But he did it for him.

31:11

Like, damn, that would have been wild. Yeah.

31:13

Oh, that's why it's called that. I thought it

31:15

took place in Philadelphia. Right. But

31:18

he was, of course,

31:20

Joe in Joe versus

31:22

the volcano. Right. And

31:25

then speaking of

31:27

dog movies, maybe Finch was like he

31:29

didn't want the dog's name in the

31:31

title after his bad experience with Turner

31:33

and Hooch. My

31:38

thinking story was Sully Sullenberger and Forrest

31:40

Gump and probably seven others. That was

31:42

how I came up with my number.

31:45

Right. Because like when you just kind of think of

31:47

them, it's hard, you know, it's like he's

31:50

been in so many movies overall.

31:53

But congratulations, Gabe.

31:56

Thanks, Doug. You did it. Prize

32:00

and I will be filing a formal complaint

32:02

because I feel like somehow I was ripped

32:04

off I don't know exactly how but the

32:06

attorneys will figure it out. If

32:08

Jim wants to play with me, that's fine Damn,

32:12

you're generous Yeah,

32:15

like 5050 Well,

32:21

that's just our first game

32:23

and what Gabe won Because

32:26

he won that game is he gets to

32:28

go first in our second Game

32:31

Wow that is a prize That

32:35

is a serious advantage or

32:37

as Sam Levine likes

32:39

to often point out possibly a

32:41

disadvantage We'll

32:43

find out which one it is after these messages.

32:46

We'll be right back We

32:49

are back and Gabe Congratulations,

32:51

you get to go first. You're this

32:54

much closer to not winning any money

32:58

When you get to go first

33:01

in our second and final

33:04

Determining game for today and it's

33:07

something that I call the little search

33:09

engine that could I Type

33:12

the word into the search

33:14

engine on IMDB and then I

33:16

wrote down the

33:18

top 11 movies

33:22

that Have that word

33:24

in the title. This is according to

33:26

IMDB's popularity

33:31

Algorithm like movies being

33:33

searched a lot. So your job is

33:35

to guess titles that you think landed

33:38

In the top 11 that have that

33:40

word and the higher your answer is on

33:43

the if it is on the list The

33:45

higher it is on the list the more points you get There's

33:48

three rounds. You'll each get three

33:50

guesses You'll each get to

33:52

name three movies that you hope are on

33:54

34:58

notice that seem to be something

35:00

that you've been called upon to

35:02

35:04

hope. That a either

35:06

you have white hair, believe me it's a

35:08

no brainer. Will be sued. I walk around

35:10

all the time with a big oil sands

35:12

a beard you know, not good enough at

35:14

every last year I did one with Octavia

35:16

Spencer. it was amazing the zebra and I

35:19

knew I would tell the details which he

35:21

ended up being. Perhaps not

35:23

the nice person in the.

35:26

In a little thing we shot. Oh

35:28

okay that she was on. We.

35:30

Know she's got that that the that gear

35:57

go first. Then we'll go to Ryan

35:59

and. we'll go to Jim and like I

36:01

said you'll each get three guesses but

36:04

Gabe what's your first shot

36:08

at a movie

36:10

with Santa in the title? I

36:13

like this one because it feels like a

36:15

clever Christmas movie title which is the Santa

36:17

Clause. It was a

36:20

very clever title that led to lots

36:22

of lots of

36:25

sequels and and

36:28

a now a series the

36:31

Santa Claus is. I did

36:33

one of those two as one of the Santa's. With

36:35

Tim Allen yes

36:39

last season or the season before.

36:41

Yeah yeah so that's where I

36:44

noticed it so Gabe

36:48

congratulations that one is

36:50

number two on

36:52

the list. Yeah way up there so

36:54

you are starting off

36:57

with a whopping ten

36:59

points but

37:01

there's still plenty of points on the board. Ryan

37:04

what's a Santa movie that you think

37:07

would be super popular these days?

37:10

Well I'm gonna go and it's been

37:12

a little while since I've just had Comedy

37:15

Central on but it felt like there was

37:17

about a year or two where no matter

37:19

what time of year or day you turned

37:21

it on this movie would be on and

37:24

that is bad Santa. Yeah

37:26

that's a classic. They did like they do

37:28

like to play it a lot especially around

37:31

the holidays. I was gonna say it

37:34

was Comedy Central Shawshank it was just

37:36

always going for a while. But

37:40

if you sat through it you often would get

37:43

rewarded with episode of Parks and

37:45

Recreation. There you go what a treat. Yeah

37:48

but of course that Santa

37:50

is on the list and

37:52

it is at number three

37:54

so Ryan is on

37:56

the board with nine points. close

38:00

race thus far. But

38:03

Jim, with all

38:05

your Santa experience, what

38:09

Santa movie do you think of? Yeah, I'm in

38:11

bad shape here because I wrote down two. I

38:14

wrote down Bad Santa and the Santa

38:16

Claus. So I am

38:18

screwed. Can I say Santa Claus

38:20

is too? Just write down another

38:22

one. Yeah, no.

38:26

Okay, now when I was a kid growing up, I

38:29

mean, again, this is, I just turned 104.

38:32

So we're talking, you know,

38:34

1800 and something. No, but there was

38:36

the classic with Fred Astaire.

38:39

Santa Claus is coming to town. Is

38:42

that too random? Well, I mean,

38:44

that's an amazing television special made

38:46

by the Rankin

38:49

Bass and Animation company.

38:53

But I don't think it would

38:55

be on the list because it doesn't qualify as a movie. But

38:58

it was a TV movie, technically. It's

39:01

a short TV movie, yeah, because it was even,

39:05

you know, 40-some minutes long because it

39:07

was in an hour-long time slot. Okay,

39:09

so it doesn't count. So, yeah,

39:12

feature films are like, you know, an hour

39:14

and 15 minutes. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm

39:16

just, believe me, I'm scrambling. So... Well,

39:20

also, when you start to hear other people's answers,

39:22

that can help you to, you know,

39:25

some things might click. No,

39:27

they gave my answers. So there was

39:29

nothing to click. They literally gave my

39:31

answers. Well, no, I mean, when

39:33

they give more answers, you'll go, oh, right. Yeah,

39:36

oh, well, yeah. I'm like, why didn't I think

39:38

about it? Then you might think about it. But

39:40

what was your first... Did you guess something? What

39:42

was your first guess, though, before you said it

39:44

goes to town? You said something... No, I don't

39:46

think I did. Because I literally wrote down the

39:48

Santa Claus and Bad Santa. Those are

39:51

the two things I wrote down. Oh,

39:53

I thought you said something like, can I say Santa Claus 2?

39:56

Oh, yeah, jokingly. Just because it's a sequel. But if I can

39:58

do it, I can do it. get away with it I'll take

40:00

it yeah why don't you try it

40:02

let's see what happens Santa Claus to sorry

40:05

it's not on the list yeah I'm

40:08

kidding I'm kidding it's number

40:13

six on the list oh it is on

40:15

the list yeah yeah gonna completely fail yay

40:18

you got six points oh I'll

40:20

take it I'll take it yeah you're on the

40:22

board those might be the last points I get

40:24

cuz I'm it

40:27

can get it can get pretty tough as

40:29

we go forward in this game but maybe

40:32

Gabe's got another one on his mind what

40:34

do you think Gabe so

40:36

this is the part of the Douglas

40:39

games where I just like

40:41

don't know it's a movie but I'm gonna

40:43

assume that there's a movie called Santa another

40:47

fun thing you can do is you can just

40:49

kind of guess that there must be something out

40:51

there called Santa

40:54

and if there is

40:56

it did not make it

40:58

the cut it did not make

41:00

it on the list but that

41:02

was an excellent stab oh

41:05

how embarrassing oh my god I

41:07

can't even imagine how many of

41:09

you are trying to be a

41:11

child after this to not immediately

41:13

know a second Santa movie especially

41:19

this time of year I thought

41:21

I was in better company this is the worst I'm

41:26

glad people don't join podcast

41:28

in progress because they would just

41:30

assume this is a Christmas episode

41:35

exactly okay Ryan what do you got you

41:37

got another Santa movie don't you I do

41:39

and I don't know if it's gonna be

41:41

on the list but this was the second

41:43

one I actually thought of I guess third

41:45

because I would I also

41:47

had Santa Claus and Bad Santa

41:49

but so for my fellow nerds

41:52

out there today as we're

41:54

recording it it is WrestleMania

41:56

Sunday right so

42:00

in honor of my first real true passion,

42:02

which is pro wrestling, I am going to

42:04

go with the Hulk Hogan

42:06

classic, Santa with muscles. Wow. Okay.

42:11

Now, when I put this

42:13

game together, I thought

42:15

there was one answer that no one would

42:17

say in a million years. And

42:20

that answer is Santa with

42:22

muscles. I mean, it

42:24

is number four on the list. Yeah.

42:28

Wow. And you mentioned it, that is

42:30

probably because people are looking it up

42:32

because today is WrestleMania. Yes.

42:34

That, yeah. What are you going

42:36

to do brother? You know, the type that is, exactly.

42:38

They are looking for Hulk Hogan entertainment and

42:41

they are fighting Santa with muscles, which I,

42:43

have you seen Santa with muscles, Ryan? Oh,

42:45

it has been years. And

42:48

like, I have been a hardcore wrestling fan since I was

42:50

11. It is my big thing

42:52

that I am really, really into. Even

42:55

as a stupid like 11 year old, I was

42:57

like, this is bad. This is not a good

42:59

product. And that was

43:01

the time where I was just anything pro wrestling, I

43:04

would just absorb it. And I was like, this is

43:06

just not a very good, good mode.

43:08

It is so unbelievable, Doug. It just does

43:10

not, it does not make sense. It

43:13

does not make sense that Santa would have muscles. Yeah.

43:16

No, he is a big jolly man. Not

43:19

a big strongman. All right, Jim.

43:24

Oh, damn it. Okay. I

43:29

am just throwing this out there because I got

43:31

nothing. What about,

43:34

and I have no idea if this ever existed, was

43:36

there a bad Santa too? Yes,

43:38

there was. Is it on the list? Is it on

43:40

the list? Jim! Okay, that

43:42

is called desperation, gentlemen. It

43:45

totally works. It is number nine on the list. That

43:49

is worth an additional three points. Is it with the same cast? Like Billy

43:51

Bob came back for that? Yeah,

44:00

and even though I never knew that

44:02

even Thurman Merman like the kid

44:05

that from the first movie. He's

44:07

like a Young

44:09

adult in the second one and

44:12

I think it's a different actor. I think

44:14

they hired somebody different to play him but

44:17

But some of the same people are around Unfortunately,

44:20

you know John Ritter passed

44:22

away. Yeah, first bad Santa, but

44:25

I think Well, maybe

44:27

Lauren Graham's not in the second one. I forget but the

44:29

second one it's got you know,

44:31

Tony Cox the You

44:34

know the Little

44:36

person that was in the first bad Santa

44:38

and my favorite part is when the two of

44:40

them are just In the boxing ring

44:42

punching each other in the nuts. So funny. Yeah,

44:45

that's a funny scene Okay,

44:48

so we've got two rounds and The

44:52

points tally at this point is Gabe

44:54

has 10 Jim has nine and Ryan

44:56

has 17 points

45:01

There's still plenty of points on the

45:04

board a very surprising number one, but

45:06

let's start With

45:09

Gabe, this is your last guess.

45:11

Can you put a few more points on the

45:13

board? So

45:15

I only feel comfortable with this

45:17

because I believe I know the full name

45:19

of this movie I believe the third one

45:21

is called the Santa Claus 3 the escape

45:24

clause Is that

45:26

on the list? I think

45:28

that is what it's called, but it did not make

45:30

it on the list But

45:32

I think you're right about the The

45:36

very very clever title Yeah

45:39

In the house him I like gets out of being

45:41

Santa forever. That's all I gets back to his real

45:43

life Yeah, he's so desperate

45:45

to get back to his real life But

45:47

you know if he only knew that someone

45:49

like Jim O'Hara's made bank playing Santa All

45:59

right Right Gabe, sorry about that, but you're

46:03

finishing with 10 points

46:06

either in second or third. Ryan,

46:09

do you have another one just to add a

46:12

little bit more to your total? I

46:15

honestly was going to say Santa Claus

46:17

3 because that's why

46:19

not. All my brain could

46:21

do. My problem is now I'm thinking of

46:23

a lot of other Christmas movies that I

46:25

love but don't have Santa in the name.

46:29

Right, it's not like

46:31

love actually Santa. Yeah,

46:36

the only other one I can kind of say isn't there one that

46:38

has like, wasn't

46:40

there like a Santa horror movie or

46:42

something like that? Oh yeah. With John

46:44

Liskow maybe? I don't know if

46:46

it was that. For some reason, I

46:49

want to say there's a movie called Santa Claus

46:52

the Movie or something, like something very

46:54

basic going along with Gabe's stab. I'm

46:57

just saying Santa. So I'll say

46:59

Santa Claus the Movie. Santa

47:02

Claus, Poland, the Movie. Yes.

47:05

Starring Dudley Moore as an elf and

47:09

I think David Huddleston was Santa

47:12

and John Liskow was

47:15

the bad guy. Yeah, I was going to say he was

47:17

the evil guy in that movie, right? Yeah, he was the

47:19

evil guy. That

47:21

movie is number five.

47:23

Oh, he's nailing there. Damn.

47:28

Yeah, Ryan came to play. Oh my God. That's

47:31

worth seven more points. I think the

47:34

lead is insurmountable at this point, but

47:36

it's still fun to see how if

47:38

Jim No,

47:40

don't say it's still fun. It's horrifying

47:43

and it's embarrassing. My family is literally

47:45

escorting me out of the office right

47:47

now. They're going first. Say

47:52

Santa with muscles too, Jim. Believe me,

47:54

that's what I'm going for. Yeah,

48:00

I think that's really, that's probably going to

48:02

be your best bet because I'm looking at

48:04

the answers and the idea that you would

48:07

suggest any of these. The

48:09

three of you did a really good job

48:11

of knocking out all of the, you

48:14

know, I don't know if obvious is the right word

48:16

for it, but like you got all the big ones.

48:19

Well, there's still one huge one out there that

48:21

we haven't said yet. Yeah, there is.

48:23

And I had to say it or so

48:25

slim, but I again, I thought saying with

48:27

muscles, Satan, family and

48:30

I went, I thought that wasn't going

48:32

to get guessed. I didn't

48:34

realize they had such a big wrestling fan

48:37

on the panel. This

48:39

is the worst thing Hulk Hogan has ever done to

48:41

me personally. There's

48:43

a laundry list of worst things

48:46

he's done in Shadow Realm, but

48:48

to you personally, Gabe, yeah, he

48:50

is wrong in this movie. Okay,

48:53

but I have one more shot at this, right?

48:56

Yeah, you do. Okay, well, here's an obvious

48:58

one that I'm sure you all know. I think

49:00

it's a classic. I don't get

49:02

through the holidays without it. And I just forgot

49:04

it. It's called My

49:07

Santa starring Jim O'Hare. What?

49:11

I just remembered I did a movie

49:13

called My Santa. God. It

49:15

might have been for Hallmark or

49:18

Blighttown. I don't know who the hell it was

49:20

for, but it was with one of those Lawrence

49:22

brothers. It was for the people, Jim. It was

49:24

for the people. Everything is for the people. One

49:27

of the Lawrence brothers. I think

49:29

the middle is super nice guy. Oh,

49:31

God, what the hell was his name? Yeah,

49:34

I know. Is there a Matthew Lawrence?

49:36

Yes, there is. Okay, it was Matthew

49:38

Lawrence, me. Oh,

49:41

God, the girl. Oh, she was so pretty.

49:44

Well, something, Samir, I think was

49:47

her name. She was like the lead. Paul

49:50

Dooley was in it. I

49:54

think Julie Brown. Anyway, I'm

49:57

sure that's number one on the list. If you guys

49:59

have... You have to do the holiday without

50:01

watching that, and you have not gotten through the holidays.

50:04

What is the premise? Why are you...

50:07

The premise is, think of this, think how

50:09

brilliant this is, I was

50:11

the elf and Matthew Lawrence

50:13

was Santa. What? Yes!

50:17

Imagine the mayhem that happened. Imagine

50:20

how everything was turned topsy-turvy. I

50:23

think all over the place. It was crazy.

50:26

There was magic involved, of course, because Santa's

50:29

magical. Yeah, Matthew Lawrence played Santa and

50:31

I was his elf. That was obviously

50:34

the funny juxtaposition

50:36

of the whole thing. Because

50:38

you had the white beard and everything? He had the

50:40

white beard. When he was dressed up, he had the

50:42

white beard. I was in the

50:45

striped shirt, like an elf-y kind of thing. Yeah,

50:47

I was in the Santa movie where I did

50:49

not have to be in the white beard. It

50:53

says we're talking Santa. When I

50:56

did the Santa Clauses, for Apple

50:58

with Tim Allen, we were shooting

51:00

that at the Disney Ranch in

51:02

July. We were in

51:05

full Santa gear.

51:08

They were really smart. They set up these little tents

51:11

for us because we were doing outside scenes. Each

51:13

tent had those big ass, I don't even

51:16

know what they call them, but those air conditioners with the

51:18

big tubes that bore in.

51:21

They really saved our butts. Yeah, so

51:23

hey, it ain't easy being Santa, guys. It

51:25

ain't easy. No, it's

51:28

really uncomfortable. And

51:30

having to maintain the calories I have to maintain,

51:32

believe me, you don't know what I go through.

51:36

Michael Phelps' regimen, you've got to respect it.

51:42

Without the exercise of any sort. It's

51:46

a process, one step at a time. You've got to tie

51:48

it down. I just haven't hit

51:50

the exercise, please. Well,

51:55

I'm sorry to say my Santa did not

51:57

make a list. It

52:01

is on my list of things to watch

52:03

that for them sir because

52:06

I'm fascinated by that

52:09

movie and that premise but Let's

52:12

go through and talk about I

52:15

like I said you did a terrific job because the rest

52:17

of these Is a bunch

52:19

of baloney to be honest with you number 11?

52:23

And that's why I did 11 is because I

52:25

just wanted to include this one so badly There

52:28

is a movie called Santa Claus is a

52:30

stinker. Oh And

52:35

I think it's French and it's from like 1982

52:38

and I did not know why it's so

52:40

high on this list Well, you'll know why in a

52:42

second because this this list is silly number

52:46

10 is the

52:48

motion picture called Santa Fe Trail

52:50

a Yeah,

52:56

the word Santa could get tricky My

52:59

brain did think of Santa Clarita diet, but I

53:01

was like that was a TV series, right? Yeah,

53:04

that's a T. Yeah one

53:07

that's number one on IMDB, but it doesn't count

53:09

because it's not a movie but a bad

53:13

Bad Santa 2 was number nine and

53:16

then number eight Another Weird

53:21

one that doesn't really fit Santa

53:24

day without the trail

53:26

just That's

53:29

from Then

53:33

number seven is the movie that kind of

53:35

kind of sounds like it might be in

53:37

the same realm or the same genre

53:40

as my Santa because apparently

53:42

there's a movie called Santa

53:44

Girl and I've

53:48

never heard of any exactly nobody knows

53:50

any of these. Yeah Then

53:52

Santa Claus to then Santa Claus

53:54

the musical then Santa with muscles

53:56

then bad Santa and Santa Claus

53:59

and number one for who knows

54:01

what reason from

54:03

1989 there's a movie

54:05

called Santa Sangre. S-A-N-G-R-E.

54:08

I have no idea what it

54:11

is or how it managed to

54:13

top even the Santa

54:15

Claus but that is the number one

54:18

Santa movie currently on

54:20

IMDb. Yeah that's random. So

54:23

random. But congratulations are

54:25

going out to Ryan

54:27

Niemuller for being

54:31

our winner today.

54:33

I'm gonna fake

54:36

enthusiasm. You know I thought

54:38

pity enthusiasm

54:42

still enthusiasm. I faced a career on it.

54:44

You might not even want the prize

54:54

that comes with winning Jim because basically

54:56

what it means is Ryan is invited

54:58

to come back on the next show

55:00

if he so chooses. I

55:02

didn't know that had

55:08

I known going in I wouldn't have tried at all.

55:12

No I'm jealous. I want to be

55:15

invited back. Well you're always invited back.

55:17

It's been a long time between visits

55:19

but anytime you want to come on

55:22

happy to have you but also

55:24

Ryan gets to do

55:26

his promotional stuff first. So what have you

55:28

got to plug Ryan? Mostly

55:31

just I'm touring right now.

55:34

My son is almost old enough where

55:36

I can leave him by himself. He's almost a

55:38

year old next month so. Oh

55:40

yeah definitely leave him by himself. Yeah make

55:42

sure you crack a window. Leave his food

55:44

dish full

55:47

when I leave. Everything will be alright.

55:49

Change the litter before I go. Yeah.

55:52

But no like you said Doug

55:54

we're doing a fun show here

55:56

on the 20th Bear

55:59

River Casino. In the

56:01

Loletta or Lolita, California Like

56:04

Loletta better because it's not spelled like Lolita

56:06

the name. It's got an E in there

56:08

So I like Loletta. Well, yeah, we got

56:10

what we get there I guess my my

56:12

autocorrect keeps changing it to Lolita and people

56:15

are getting concerned But

56:20

yes my website if you want to check out

56:22

my other tour dates coming up it's cripple

56:24

threat calm I Thought
