This week on Funny You Ask, host Ike Barinholtz welcomes Seth Rogen—the multi-talented Canadian actor, writer, director, and self-proclaimed pottery nerd—for a fast-paced, trivia-charged conversation. The episode dives into Rogen’s love of pottery, 80s and 90s comedy movies, Canadian quirks (with a focus on Vancouver), and plenty of classic banter. Listeners are treated to pop quizzes, random facts, absurd hypotheticals, and hilarious competitive energy as Ike and Seth battle for trivia supremacy—with a twist: the "prize" is a literal bag of weed (which Ike, on brand, forgets to bring).

[Seth Rogen]

I'm in the hot seat.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We heated the seat up to 175 degrees.

[Seth Rogen]

It's a pretty normal seat, with all due respect. And it's the same seat you're in.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes. Well, everyone's in the hot seat.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay, good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Sitting to my left is a man who's done it all. He's conquered movies and TV as a writer, director, and an actor. And he's able to do all of this while being Canadian. He also claims to know a little bit about pottery, comedy movies of the 80s and 90s and Vancouver, the city of Vancouver. The city of Vancouver. Seth Rogen, welcome to Funny you Ask.

[Seth Rogen]

Thank you for having me. You're killing it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Seth Rogen]

You're good at this.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're really good at this. My dream has always kind of been like, a host. Yeah. And I really do. I really, really like it. One day I'll be like, wink Martindale.

[Seth Rogen]

There's always, like, a lore in my family that one of our distant cousins

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

was Monty hall from let's make it.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. And as a kid, we'd watch it, and my best. Someone would always come in the room and be like, that guy's your cousin.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Pretty demonstrately provable at this point.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes. But I don't know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Someone's like, should we call the immigration officer? Like, no, we'll never know.

[Seth Rogen]

My family did lie a lot. Later discovered. So that's okay.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You should make a Sarah Pauley documentary about your family. The dub lies stories we lies we tell the lies we tell the lies we tell. This is very, very good, Seth. This is how this is going to work. I'm going to ask you questions about subjects you sent me. You're going to ask me questions from that stack of trivia cards. Every correct answer is worth one point. Whoever gets the most points win today's prize. This mystery prize right here. If you win, it's yours. But if I win, that shit is mine.

[Seth Rogen]

You keep it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I keep the prize.

[Seth Rogen]

Surprise.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The new, new thing. We're introducing a format. Yes.

[Seth Rogen]

Stakes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's the prize.

[Seth Rogen]

It's actual.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Actual stakes. We are nearing the end of shooting this, the season two of the studio.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes. It's been going on for.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's been going on for a while. Just so you know, we wanted you to be the first guest, but I was not going to call you and be like, hey, when you're done talking to Madonna for three hours, can you come and be on. On my trivia podcast? But my question is, how is Madonna?

[Seth Rogen]

How is she currently.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

How is she currently doing?

[Seth Rogen]

She seems great. I'm seeing she's releasing an album.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

New album.

[Seth Rogen]

Video. She released a video with Sabrina Carpenter, I think.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

She wasn't in a video with, like, a bunch of celebs in a bathroom. Us. And I got to say, listen, listen, I. We spent a limited amount of time with her. The odds of me being included in that, pretty low. I was kind of mad for you.

[Seth Rogen]

I was. I felt a little. I don't know if betrayed is the word, but I was like, no call.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Not even. Not even a veil check?

[Seth Rogen]

Not even an avail check. Like you could Benedict Cumberbatch.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's what I was going to say. It's like, he's cool and he's got a cool voice, but so do you. You both have very distinctive voices. You're prominent in voiceovers. Yeah, Yeah, I get it, though.

[Seth Rogen]

We spent enough time.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We spent a lot of time together. I keep thinking about Chase's impression of her.

[Seth Rogen]

It's really good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Really, really good impression. Yeah. This season we went to some pretty special places. Went to Venice. We did go to New York City.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Granada Hills.

[Seth Rogen]

Granada Hills.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Incredible.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Season three pitch. You ready for this?

[Seth Rogen]

I am ready.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We've conquered Hollywood. Bollywood.

[Seth Rogen]

Bollywood.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Whole season in India.

[Seth Rogen]

Whoa. I do not want to go do that. Tell you what, as you said that, I just pictured diarrhea.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

India's good for a week.

[Seth Rogen]

You would not be able to make it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, no, no, no. I would pass it.

[Seth Rogen]

Gastrointestinal problems on our best days here in America.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait.

[Seth Rogen]

Beverly Hills is hard on your stomach. I'm not gonna go to. I'm not filming with you in India for a long time.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I need to nip this in the. Yeah. Sometimes, like, my stomach growls and sometimes I talk about diarrhea. But, like, I think I have this. There's this image that's been created where I'm just, like, non stop shitting and farting, which is.

[Seth Rogen]

You do fart a lot.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Hold on. One. Set, set, set, set. God damn it.

[Seth Rogen]

You're gashing. You.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You.

[Seth Rogen]

Well, here.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I burp a lot. I burp a lot. I burp a lot. Okay. I give you that. I burp a lot. I had one issue one day when we were in Vegas, and I don't know that's true.

[Seth Rogen]

I think there's been more issues than that one day for sure. I don't think that's true at all.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In Vegas, I had a night where I ate a lot of Southern food. And then the next day on set, I kept saying to you, I said, listen, I keep walking away because I cannot stop.

[Seth Rogen]

That's for sure. Happened this evening.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, no, no, no. I don't remember that.

[Seth Rogen]

It fully has. You have not. You have rewritten history. That it has definitely than that one day. Because I don't even remember. I don't even remember the day you're talking about in Las Vegas. I just remember more recent.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's like a montage of me turning.

[Seth Rogen]

It's like a hundred quick cuts of you farting at different scenes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Folks, this is satire. I will step away occasionally.

[Seth Rogen]

You fart in front of your wife. No, but you fart in front of literally all your co workers constantly, 100% of the time, never not farting in Front of the people you work with.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But you won't, because I don't have sex with any of you anymore. Oh, by the way, I saw your fucking friend is selling props. Chris Spellman.

[Seth Rogen]

Chris Spellman. His house burned down in the. In the Palisades fire, and so he's selling some of his beloved film props.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I was really stoned last night.

[Seth Rogen]

The rug from the Big.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And I was like, do I buy

[Seth Rogen]

the d. I was thinking of it too, honestly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do I buy it?

[Seth Rogen]

I was seriously considering it as like a pre.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Father's day gift.

[Seth Rogen]

And I guess he has both of it. It's like the original rug. And then he takes the Big Lebowski's rug and replaces it with his rug.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, but then I was like, has ever been more throwawayable by my wife than that rug? And she loves that movie, but she,

[Seth Rogen]

like, you have to, like, frame it. Like you'd have to do it. Like. Like you'd have to put it on.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's a massive frame.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, that would be. I'm.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'm. You're thinking about really ties the room.

[Seth Rogen]

It's a pretty good. I mean, it's one of the.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's one of the most iconic.

[Seth Rogen]

It's one of the most iconic problems

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

in the history of time. But my wife throws away that I actually, like, functionally use.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, I remember I had a. Someone gave me, like, a mortar pestle one time, and one day I came home and she put a post it on it that said use by Tuesday. And I was like, jesus Christ. This is who I'm not farting in front of.

[Seth Rogen]

I'm not farting for.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I should have farted right on her at that moment.

[Seth Rogen]

You should have farted in her face for that. I was using my mortar and pestle the other day, marveling in real time about how often I use my mortar and pestle.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's so great. I love it. It's great for making herb salt.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, I like for my dog. I'll grind up some dog treats with it and sprinkle on her food a little bit.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Sprinkle the dog treats on the food.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Ada, you really got a little system worked out. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Hey, man, let's just. Let's just get.

[Seth Rogen]

Is this the best one so far?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

By far.

[Seth Rogen]

Is this the best one?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, by far. Bye bye, Kate Hudson.

[Seth Rogen]

That's all I want to know when I'm on.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, you are. You are my friend.

[Seth Rogen]

Am I winning?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You are winning. We're going to get right into this, by the way. Stay tuned. At the end of the episode, I'm going to read a listener question to see if they can stump Ike.

[Seth Rogen]

Whoa.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

All right, here we go. Are you ready? Are you ready for your first question?

[Seth Rogen]

Man, I'm not gonna get any of these. Oh, I don't know anything.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You said that you were like, just so you know. I don't know.

[Seth Rogen]

I don't know anything. I'm so bad at trivia. I bet. I like, I. I know random things conversationally, but whenever I know a thing, I get. I like. I get pretty excited.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

People say that, and then they're always shocked at how much they know.

[Seth Rogen]

How much they know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Most people.

[Seth Rogen]

Most people. Not me.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Stay tuned this week for Joel McHale.

[Seth Rogen]

Does he not know anything? No. I'm gonna be like Joel McCann.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Also, Nick Kroll was pretty funny. Nick Kroll did not know the answer to the question about a very, very, very famous baseball game that he was at.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, that's cool.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's like, I was at this game. I should know this. All right. Your first subject, my friend, is something that I know is very beloved to you. It's pottery. Are you ready for this?

[Seth Rogen]

I'm ready.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

G ones have been doing pottery for nearly 20,000 years, making it one of the oldest crafts in history. To do pottery, one must heat the clay and other materials in a bonfire pit or what specialized type of oven.

[Seth Rogen]

A kiln.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

A kiln.

[Seth Rogen]

You see, it's easy. We start easy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We lure you in.

[Seth Rogen]

We lure you in with the $50.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Seth Rogen. That's a $50 question for your bonus.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

There are three types of pottery for one point each.

[Seth Rogen]

Name?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Em.

[Seth Rogen]

Three types of pottery. Three. Well, that's, like, predominant ways to achieve pottery.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Three types. Like.

[Seth Rogen]

Like wheels?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, like the material, maybe that they're made of.

[Seth Rogen]

Like greenware. Earthenware.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Earthenware is one point right there. There's two more.

[Seth Rogen]

Earthenware. Porcelain.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Porcelain.

[Seth Rogen]

Ding, ding, ding. Two.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And there's one third one I have written down here.

[Seth Rogen]

Earthenware. I mean, green. Greenware is a term that they would use.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It was green. Would greenware be another term for stoneware?

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Maybe stoneware.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

There you go.

[Seth Rogen]

I'm gonna give earth and porcelain.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay, I'm giving you two out of three. I'm giving you two out of three right there.

[Seth Rogen]

Two out of three.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Not bad. Not bad. All right, you're already on the board.

[Seth Rogen]

On the board.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You need to relax. You're on the board now. What made you get into pottery? Was this Like a Covid thing?

[Seth Rogen]

No. Lauren, my wife, she had done pottery over the years. When she was in high school, she did it, and then she would take lessons every now and then. And then before COVID actually, she.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Not a Covid thing.

[Seth Rogen]

It was pre Covid.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Pre Covid.

[Seth Rogen]

And then it carried, and then it really, like, blossom during.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's how, you know you love it. Because a lot of people I know have not baked a loaf of sourdough bread since, like, April 2020.

[Seth Rogen]

Me and my wife glazed, like, 40 pieces of pottery last night together in our driveway.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're really cramming for this podcast.

[Seth Rogen]

We really were.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

So many people got into baking during COVID except for Nick Stoller stuck with it.

[Seth Rogen]

I got into ordering pizza during COVID

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That was a good thing to do.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Have you ever eaten any of Nick Stoller's, like, bread and pastries?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, he's really good. It's incredible.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I went to. We went to his house one time for, like, a family. Dang. And he had made homemade English muffins. Yeah. Yeah. He made, like, 60 of them. And he had, like, a big slab of butter and, like, jam. And I probably had, like, five or six.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I remember talking to Francesca, and just my stomach was gurgling, but I wasn't farting. I wasn't farting.

[Seth Rogen]

See, you act like it's this rare. It's. Every story you have revolves around it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do you remember when we were. Do you remember when we were shooting one night at the Chateau, super late,

[Seth Rogen]

and you were farting?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, I was not farting.

[Seth Rogen]

When you ate.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

When I was. We ordered cheeseburgers, and I remember we were so tired, and I was dunking my fry, and the little thing I. Ketchup. And I was like, this ketchup sucks. And I went on, like, a rant about, like, artisanal ketchup.

[Seth Rogen]

Artisanal ketchup.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

This is shit. And then you looked at it and you were like, this is raspberry jam.

[Seth Rogen]

Jam.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

You didn't know what you were eating.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You. I don't think I've ever seen a

[Seth Rogen]

person that was like. That was very funny. And once I knew a guy who was eating a bowl of ice cream, and he's like, this ice cream sucks. And it was mayonnaise.

[Seth Rogen]

This ice cream tastes insane.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Terrible.

[Seth Rogen]

This is not. Guys, this is not ice cream. This is straight up. It's not cold at all.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's freaking terrible. I've never done pottery with you, but if I. If I did, I feel like you

[Seth Rogen]

could come over anytime.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, I would want to, like, do at least a photo where we're pretending to do the ghost.

[Seth Rogen]

You gotta do that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You gotta do the ghost. That's, like, requisite.

[Seth Rogen]

I would actually. The thing is, when people come over and, and, and, and I do teach them because, like, me and my wife will have people over and we'll teach them. We'll give them a good time.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You get behind them and you do it.

[Seth Rogen]

You do actually kind of go, wow, you do ghost stuff. I got.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's a beautiful scene, beautiful people, romantic. That can't be conducive to sex. Wet clay.

[Seth Rogen]

Well, it's dangerous.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

First of all, it's dangerous.

[Seth Rogen]

Silica.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's silica. Also, like, oh. Oh, I love. Hey, I can't come to your party now. I'm having surgery. I have to have a lump of clay taken out of my urethra.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, no, it's true. And also, if you do pottery and you watch ghosts, it's clear, like, she has no idea what she to like like, it's insane what she's making. Like, it truly is bizarre. But they. That happens. Does it only happen? That's one of those things that, like, someone recently was telling me that we've like. Like Mandela affected. Like, how. How sensual a scene that is in the movie and how impactful it is to the movie itself when they are doing it physically.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

They're doing it physically. But then I think it, if I'm not mistaken, it spurs into a love

[Seth Rogen]

scene, I think sexy. And then there's another time maybe where she's doing it and he's just watching her. I'm not 100 sure.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

There might. And then there's a scene when he jumps into Whoopi Goldberg's body, and for a second you're like, are they gonna have. They gonna do lesbian sex as a man?

[Seth Rogen]

That movie scared the. Out of me when I was a kid.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, the. The subway ghosts?

[Seth Rogen]

No, when the little devils came and. Oh, yeah. What's his face? Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here's a real question. What is clay? And where do you get it?

[Seth Rogen]

Clay is. From my understanding, clay is like mud, which has silica in it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

And I think the property of that is that when it is heated to a certain temperature, it goes through a chemical change and becomes something different, you know? And before it's heated, it's like mud. Like, if you put it in water, it would dissolve and turn back to dirt. But after it's heated, that won't happen and it like, has turned into a thing that will not go back. And. And then. So that's what clay is. So it's like dirt that when has chemicals in it naturally that when heated, change its property so it becomes something else that doesn't dissolve in water, basically.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I was literally doing research and I was like, let me back up. What is clay?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, exactly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And then I was like, I'm just going to ask. That gave me a better answer.

[Seth Rogen]

And then glaze is, you know, glass is essentially like sand. So glaze is sand basically, with chemicals in it that make it melt at a lower temperature than sand normally melts at which. And then there's like, pigments and dyes added to it that make it turn different colors and shit.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like that bags of sand.

[Seth Rogen]

Bags of sand.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Who wrote that joke in 40 year old virgin?

[Seth Rogen]

That joke was like part of the original pitch for the movie. Like, and that was a, like, Second City sketch that I think he did.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It was. It was a Corel Second City. It was a Corel Second City sketch

[Seth Rogen]

about, like, a loser guy. Playing poker. And the poker scene was like the genesis scene. And that was like. The whole pitch of the movie is like, a guy's playing poker with his coworkers and they're telling sex stories, and then he's like, you know when you touch a woman's breast and it feels like a bag of sand? And that was like, literally the pitch for the movie when I first heard it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, it's a good joke. You are one of the biggest celebrity pottery enthusiasts.

[Seth Rogen]

I sure am. You're not stiff competition.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Stiff competition. I read Brad Pitt is a pottery guy. Have you heard this?

[Seth Rogen]

I know he makes, like, large scale sculptures, and I've heard he does pottery, but I've never seen.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I read that he would go to a studio with, like, his artist friends, and Leonardo DiCaprio would show up with sandwiches from Ready for this Fat Sals.

[Seth Rogen]

I. That to me, could not be more on brand for. For how I imagine. Really?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah. Fat sals. Yeah, Fat sales. If you don't know, by the way,

[Seth Rogen]

rejected a level of class that is not.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's. Yeah, you might be right.

[Seth Rogen]

These are fat Sals people. Cause fat sals, they're making sandwiches over here. They're making sandwiches.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We're making sandwiches. We're putting chicken tenders on top of burgers with pizza over here.

[Seth Rogen]

We're rolling up an entire pepperoni pizza, deep frying it, putting it on a hoagie, pouring melted cheese all over it, and then putting 25 chicken fingers on top of that. We're going fucking nuts.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It blew me away.

[Seth Rogen]

That adds up to me.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Turtle from Entourage, owner of Fats Al one of the.

[Seth Rogen]

Wait, what?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes.

[Seth Rogen]

Wait, what?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jerry Ferrari. Ferra. Yes, Jerry Ferrara.

[Seth Rogen]

What? No, that's not true. No, that's not true.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Can we get a fact check on this, guys? Is Jerry Ferrara involved? Is maybe a possible angel investor of fat cells.

[Seth Rogen]

This is like, someone told me that there's a rapper who owns Celsius. No, I don't know. Look that up.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Also, there's a rapper.

[Seth Rogen]

He's double fact check going on right now.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I knew it.

[Seth Rogen]

Wait, what?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jerry Ferrara co founded Fat Salad.

[Seth Rogen]

Wait, what? He's making sandwiches over here. Wow. Well, that actually makes even more sense.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Connection. They're all in the pot.

[Seth Rogen]

It just showed that, you know, that's nice that he's supporting his buddy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

They support their friends.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes. Is there a rapper involved in Celsius?

[Announcer]

Flow rider.

[Seth Rogen]

He's not invest.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But he did like, a huge marketing. Okay, but he buys it. He's a fan. He, like, he drinks it. I'm not an investor, but if you had to make a nude sculpture of someone on Entourage, who would it be?

[Seth Rogen]

Whoa, man. Well, probably Jerry. Probably Jerry Ferrari.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jerry Ferrara. As a fan, that's just a fan of the sandwiches. And him.

[Seth Rogen]

I do him eating a sandwich with, like, a cheeseburger in it. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Another celeb who enjoys pottery is our friend Kristen Stewart.

[Seth Rogen]

Really?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I read that Shia LaBeouf said to her, he was like, I'm not really happy in life, you know? And she was like, that.

[Seth Rogen]

I don't. That comes as a real surprise.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And she was like, you should do pottery.

[Seth Rogen]

Wow.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It'll balance you out. I don't think he listened to her.

[Seth Rogen]

No, no. I've been watching. I've not seen Megalopolis, but I've. I've stumbled upon a YouTube algorithm that is sending me clips from the mic. Mike Figgis, or. Yeah, biggest documentary about. Shot about the making.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Right, right, right, right, right.

[Seth Rogen]

And, man, it is worth.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I will watch that. I did see Megalopolis, and I will say this. The only two performances in there that are actually really good are Shia and Plaza.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

They're, like, legit. Like, whatever weird they're doing actually works.

[Seth Rogen]

Works in it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The movie is not.

[Seth Rogen]

Not the best. Not as best film.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I would say it's not as good as Godfather 2. I'll just. I'll just say that he's. Okay, Are you ready for a second question about pottery? Here we go, my friend. When making pottery, there are two firings. The clay goes through for one point. What is the stage called when the clay is formed and first put into the kiln?

[Seth Rogen]

The bisque firing.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The bisque is correct. What is the second and final firing called?

[Seth Rogen]

The glaze firing.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Come on, man. Come on, bro. You're like, I'm not gonna know anything.

[Seth Rogen]

Did you know that? Did you know that? These questions. No. Really? Wow.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, I knew I knew porcelain.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay, good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That was the one thing I knew. I love that glazing has now become, like, accepted lexicon for, like, oh, you're glazing me. It literally glazing me means, like. Doesn't it mean, like.

[Seth Rogen]

Like, getting glazed?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, getting glazed.

[Seth Rogen]

You're glazing me.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But now, like, in, like, the New

[Seth Rogen]

York how I view it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's not how. What is the other? What is the other?

[Seth Rogen]

To cover something in a nice shiny upstairs.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's totally glazing him. He's putting in the. Into the kiln for the second time. No, it's jizz. My man.

[Seth Rogen]

Jiz Guys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's. It's.

[Seth Rogen]

That's our new podcast.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's Jizz Guys.

[Seth Rogen]

It's Jizz Guys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's Jiz Guys. It's. It's in the New York mayor debate.

[Seth Rogen]

The first spin off.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's like. Call her daddy.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, exactly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Where the. It's Jizz Guys. Is it. It's jizz comma guys, or is it. It's just guys.

[Seth Rogen]

We're the jizz guys. Like the, like the Ask guys or whatever.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Dr. Guys.

[Seth Rogen]

You're the Try guys. The Ass guys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We're doing a new thing. You know, the Try guys. We're doing the J guys. It's like, we, like, talk about it and stuff.

[Seth Rogen]

We have guests who are 100,000 podcasts currently in existence that might as well be called it's the Jizz guys. They fundamentally are the Jiz.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You like the Nelk boys. No, I'm into the Jizz guys. Okay. What is that? What is your number one piece you've ever.

[Announcer]

I don't.

[Seth Rogen]

I mean, I don't know if I. I have some pretty big things I've made that are in my. That I have, like. There's some things I've put out that are, you know, that are nice that I display in my own living room. Because I'm very proud of you.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You sent me a nice ashtray once. Yeah, very nice. I feel like if I was into pottery, I would only do ashtrays and dicks.

[Seth Rogen]

Ashtrays and dicks.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like dick shaped things.

[Seth Rogen]

The jizz boys. The jizz boys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

Ashtrays and dicks. That's a segment on the jizz boys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Ashtrays and D. You're gonna ask me a question now. Here we go. Here we go. I wanna do good.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, see, I actually. I know this one.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You know this. Okay, question.

[Seth Rogen]

One of the founding fathers of Western philosophy was sentenced to death in 399Bce for corrupting the youth and impiety.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Impiety. Impiety.

[Seth Rogen]

Impiety. Piety.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's not pious. Maybe.

[Seth Rogen]

I guess so. Yeah, Sure. I don't know. All because he taught students to question everything. Nameless philosopher.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

So craze.

[Seth Rogen]

It's so great. I think that's how I know it is from.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

From Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

[Seth Rogen]

Bill and Ted's excellent.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You can throw it behind you.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We don't give a shit.

[Seth Rogen]

It's disrespectful. Bonus question.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here we go.

[Seth Rogen]

What is the short statement about wisdom? Socrates is famed for, known as The Socratic paradox.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Socratic paradox.

[Seth Rogen]

What is the Socratic paradox?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Did you know this one? No, I know the Socratic method, but

[Seth Rogen]

the incredible bonus question. So why don't you start with that?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, no, no. That's not the question. By what method was Socrates sentenced to death? This. I actually.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, that. I know. He poisoned himself with hemlock.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay, so I got that one. So I have two on the board. The Socratic paradox is. I know what it is.

[Seth Rogen]

Good. You kind of are. You kind of are embodying it right now. In many ways.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Honestly, it's. It's. It's.

[Seth Rogen]

You are a living. You're. You're living this.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Never stop stopping. It's Pop star Never stop stopping.

[Seth Rogen]

It is. I know that I know nothing.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I know that I know nothing.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I did not know that.

[Seth Rogen]

There you go.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Nothing.

[Seth Rogen]

But you kind of did.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, maybe there's a third question. Oh, here we go. Here we go.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay, here we go. Question. The closest thing potheads have to a holiday is 420.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I celebrate privately. Sorry.

[Seth Rogen]

I do. I celebrate it because it's Hitler's birthday. Which started with a specific group in 1971 who started. Or 1935, depending. Who started 420.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I mean, okay, it either is Deadheads or Chi Cha Chong.

[Seth Rogen]

No, it's a nickname that came from where they'd hang out. A campus wall.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

A campus wall.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. This I did not.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

[Seth Rogen]

It's a group of people called the Waldos.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Waldos?

[Seth Rogen]

What? A high school Group met at 4:20 to look for a secret weed patch. Every. Every day.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I feel like if you know that

[Seth Rogen]

you are one of the walls, you're

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

either one of the Waldos or you're a huge loser. Is that another card that he should have?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. No, this keeps going.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

The Waldos. Well, here you go. The Waldos were families connected to which legendary barrier rock band who popularized the term 420?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's the grateful Dead.

[Seth Rogen]

That is. I didn't know. The Grateful Dead are the ones who popular popularized the term 420.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I thought it was more like an 80s skate.

[Seth Rogen]

Me too.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I totally thought that, too.

[Seth Rogen]

I didn't hear until the. Or like 90s even how much fun

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

was when we saw the Dead. That was pretty fun. That was like, one of the most fun nights of my life.

[Seth Rogen]

Speaking of. Speaking of, for one point each, who are the other original members of the Grateful Dead? Not counting our band. Jerry.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Not counting Jerry. You had Phil Lesh, you had Bob Weir, you had Pigpen.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And one more, one more. I'm forgetting his name. I can't. I can't get there.

[Seth Rogen]

Bill Krotzman.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Bill Kreutzman. That's not bad.

[Seth Rogen]

That's pretty good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

My Deadhead friends are not going to get mad at me, by the way. One of my friends, by the way,

[Seth Rogen]

who cares if they do?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

One of my agents is the biggest fucking Deadhead.

[Seth Rogen]

Me too. I got the same fucking agent, dude.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I texted him after the concert I got. It was one of the best concerts I'd ever seen in my life. I had a great night. I didn't even feel bad that they didn't play Touch of Gray, which. And I was kind of joking when I said. And he goes, here's the thing. This place, this playlist is. You don't understand it, man. And I was like, God damn it. I'm so sorry I even texted you.

[Seth Rogen]

I've had enough with these guys.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Stop telling me how to enjoy my fucking music.

[Seth Rogen]

Leave me alone.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It is. I have six, you have five. You are on my ass. But we have many, many more questions to go. So I'm coming for you or you're coming for me.

[Announcer]

Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox Anab Lineum toxin A prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms.

[Seth Rogen]

Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's

[Seth Rogen]

disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

and medications including botulinum toxins as these

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here we go.

[Seth Rogen]

I don't care if I win.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You don't care, I don't care. And guess what?

[Seth Rogen]

It's funny. You invite people on your podcast just to beat them at a game.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And the funny thing is is I have lost most of them. Like, I don't think I've really been.

[Seth Rogen]

Well, I hope you. I hope you win this one. It'll be a better segue into the jizz. Guys,

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Your category is 80s and 90s comedies, my friend.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You ready for this shit?

[Seth Rogen]

I think so.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The 1990s gave us some of the greatest comedies of all time.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In terms of box office, One person directed three of the top 10 highest grossing films in three different years. Who is this man

[Seth Rogen]

in the 90s?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In the 90s. And for comedies, for comedies.

[Seth Rogen]

Is it John Landis?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, he would be probably 80s.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, yeah. I give you a hint.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Two of the movies. One is a sequel. There's two movies that are in a franchise.

[Seth Rogen]

Two movies in a franchise.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In a franchise. In the 90s doesn't have to be an R rated comedy.

[Seth Rogen]

It could be more of a family.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

More of a family comedy.

[Seth Rogen]

The 90s.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The 1990s.

[Seth Rogen]

The 1990s. And wait, these were three of the biggest grossing movies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Three of the greatest. The biggest grossing comedies of the 1990s were directed by one man. One of them is a sequel.

[Seth Rogen]

Is it Chris? Is it Hobo? Is it Chris Columbus?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's Chris Columbus. Got a bonus question. Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Two more incredibly high grossing comedies of the 90s were directed by one man. But some say maybe by a team. Who directed these movies?

[Seth Rogen]

Some would say by team I mean the Fairley brothers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Fairley brothers is correct. There we go. Double bonus. Filling out the top 10 of the 90s comedies are Austin Powers, the Spy who Shagged Me, the Mask a Liar, Liar, American Pie, Toy story, Toy Story 2, and one of the film made in 199098 which spawned two sequels with another possibly on the way. What is this franchise?

[Seth Rogen]

Two sequels in 1998 with a. Wait, so there's three of these movies?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

There's three of them and they. A fourth might be on the way.

[Seth Rogen]

Who was making movies 1998 so bad with years. Sequels, Sequels. Three of them.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

With directors who are maybe a little problematic.

[Seth Rogen]

A little problematic? Oh, Rush Hour.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Rush Hour. Do you remember when we were at an award show and this man came up and took a photo with you, and I was like, hey, man, that's Brett Ratner. And you were like, oh, fuck.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And then we realized it was just a short.

[Seth Rogen]

Just another sweaty Jewish guy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Short, sweaty Jewish man.

[Seth Rogen]

Another sweaty Jewish man.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Real talk. What was your favorite scene in Melania?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, the good fellow scene.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What were. How many movies were you watching a week when you were a little kid? What was your. What was. What was little Seth Rogen?

[Seth Rogen]

A lot. I watched a lot of movies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I watched like five movies a week.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, I watched movies constantly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

And my parents would take me to movies, like, every week. We'd go to the movies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What was the first comedy you saw when you were a kid that you died? Laughing.

[Seth Rogen]

I really liked Coming to America.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes.

[Seth Rogen]

A lot.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yep.

[Seth Rogen]

What year did that come out?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

1988.

[Seth Rogen]

88, yeah. So I was six years old. Yes, yes. Which is young, I would argue to be watching a lot of Coming to America, but I love that movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Well, I was. I'm younger than you. I'm older than you. And so for me, it was Trading Places.

[Seth Rogen]

I also like Trading Places.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Huge Trading Places fan. It was a big movie in my house. It was also the first time I saw. Saw breasts that I had not. Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

Suckled coming to America as well.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes, yes, yes. I remember. I. I would spend like a month every summer with my cousins in Ohio. They were like, pretty, like, rural Christian. And they were. They would like. The movies they had were like, Annie.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And like, I'd show up with sunglasses and I'd be like, Trading Place.

[Seth Rogen]

Trading Places.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The scene where Jamie Lee Curtis, like, takes her clothes off and just like. Like, she like, lies on top of Dan Aykroyd and they're not even having sex. She's just like laying on him and. And he. You hear him go, oh, Ophelia, that feels wonderful. And my aunt in the other room goes, what are they doing in there? And I was like, nothing. Chill.

[Seth Rogen]

Aunt Ginger, you just told her.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The 80s had some great comedies, classic comedies. Had some dog comedies.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Absolutely terrible. Bottom of the barrel. I was going through some of them and I was like, do you remember the movie Hot to Trot?

[Seth Rogen]

Of course. Bobcat Goldthwait, John Candy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It is one of the craziest movies of all time. It's about his horse talks, his mother dies. He's like a loser. He Talks right now.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, my mom died. He's doing full gold weight.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Maximum gold wave penetration.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, no, my mom died. But it's more like. It's a little more screaming. It's higher. It goes up.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

His mom dies and she leaves him a horse. Yes, that talks. But do you remember the other thing John Candy does?

[Seth Rogen]

The voice?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

John Candy's voice. Horse. But you remember the other thing that the horse does?

[Seth Rogen]

It's like, horny.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, but it's horny. But it also can pick.

[Seth Rogen]

Everything's horny. Winners.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It can pick stocks.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, that's right. Not even.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's like. Yeah, I don't know. I think you should go all in on intel. It's like. Like what the. Like, that is a movie where, like, every second of it is conceived in, like, a bathroom where people are just cocaine.

[Seth Rogen]

Like, so many of these movies from the 80s, especially 90s. Like, the answer is cocaine.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, it's like one guy's like, yeah, his mom dies, he leaves him a horse. And then the next guy's like, what

[Seth Rogen]

if the horse talks?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And then, like, the third sketchy guy's like, what if it picked winners on the stock market?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, they're all like, genius.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Fucking great, John. That's amazing. Leonard Part six was another one. Bill Cosby, worst thing he ever did.

[Seth Rogen]

Worst thing he ever did.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What 80s comedy would you remake? It doesn't have to be a great one that you might not do better than.

[Seth Rogen]

But what's like, other than Leonard six?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Other than Leonard Part six. Leonard Part seven.

[Seth Rogen]

Part seven.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What's.

[Seth Rogen]

I'd fill in the other way.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What's like, one that conceptually or cast wise, you'd be like, oh, that could have been. But I need to.

[Seth Rogen]

Not the toy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Not the toy. We're gonna just leave that there. Jesus fucking Christ.

[Seth Rogen]

So that's cocaine, I guess, right?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The toy is a lot of cocaine. The toy is.

[Seth Rogen]

You know, movie I loved was Here. No. Speaking of Richard Pryor. It was See no Evil, Hear no

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Evil, See no Evil. That's a very fun one for you to do. Problematic.

[Seth Rogen]

We also. There. Very problematic, but really good. A pretty good movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What about. What about this, right? This Soul man.

[Seth Rogen]

Soul man, but we flip it. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's a. A black man pretending to be white. O'. Shea.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Pretends to be Asian.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, hello.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

All right, so he's.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And then he falls in love with soul.

[Seth Rogen]

As in Korea.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Soul man. Oh, my God. Yes.

[Seth Rogen]

We did it. Oh, we did it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's also married to a.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He falls in Love with a white woman. And we find out she's actually Indian.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, that's really good. Soul Man.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Soul man. It's right there.

[Seth Rogen]

Holy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Holy. Oh, my God.

[Seth Rogen]

We did it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, wow, wow, wow.

[Seth Rogen]

We saved. We saved comedy. We saved theatrical comedy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here we go. The 80s had a great collection of actors who played amazing movie.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Some of whom appeared in multiple legendary films. One of these was Paul Gleason, who had a very funny part in Die Hard and What? Two other classic 80s comedies for one point each.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, man.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And he played Dwayne. I can't remember his name in Die Hard, but he was the LAPD police chief who.

[Seth Rogen]

He's in the Breakfast Club as the principal.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

There you go. Is the principal of the breakfast club. That's one point. One more classic 80s comedy.

[Seth Rogen]

One more classic. He's not in Beverly Hills Cop. I don't. No, Right.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No. Jonathan Banks is.

[Seth Rogen]

Is he the mean dad in something? No, it's another authority.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'll give you hint. We already talked about it.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, we already talked about the movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes. I just realized that that doesn't.

[Seth Rogen]

We mentioned. For Soul Man.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Soul man with an eo. He was Clarence Beaks in Trading Places.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, wow. Yeah, that's right. He's like the bad guy. The bad guy plants the. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Bonus. Another actor from Die Hard, Trading Place.

[Seth Rogen]

Trading Place was not a movie I watched a lot.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Love that movie.

[Seth Rogen]

That movie holds up much worse than Coming to America.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Agreed.

[Seth Rogen]

Agreed. Coming to America mostly works still.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Although I will say the bad guys in Trading Places are like, kind of, you know, oligarchical. Although they were like the old kind

[Seth Rogen]

of the third act of trading. Also, Trading Places is about what Futures. Orange. Orange. Stock oranges. It's about the price of oranges.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes, it's about the price of oranges. That's literally what it's about.

[Seth Rogen]

That's literally what it's about.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here's your bonus question. Another actor from Die Hard, William Atherton, also co starred as the Dick in two other classic 80s comedies from one point each.

[Seth Rogen]

Name him Ghostbusters.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Ghostbusters. Walter Peek.

[Seth Rogen]

It's true. This man has no penis.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's true.

[Seth Rogen]

One of the greatest lines.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

One of the greatest lions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to know what you're up to in here.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, he. What else? I picture him dressed in like kind of a funny outfit in the other thing. But what is it?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Real genius.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, yeah. That movie also.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Don't love that.

[Seth Rogen]

Does not hold up.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Does not hold up. Does not hold up.

[Seth Rogen]

That movie Is crazy. I watched this movie recently, like, a few months ago, and I was like, oh, my God.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

If you're gonna watch.

[Seth Rogen]

I was shocked.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

If you're gonna watch a Val Kilmer comedy from the 80s, make it top secret.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Which holds up beautifully.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Paul Gleason was in an episode of Dawson's Creek.

[Seth Rogen]

And my friend Stacey Weird Science also does not hold up in any way.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Shape. No, no, no. Although Bill Paxton was great.

[Seth Rogen]

He's good. Yeah, sorta. Is he, though? I don't even know if he is. I don't even know if he is.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

My friend Stacy's re watching Dawson's Creek for some reason. She sent me a screenshot. You look like a fetus.

[Seth Rogen]

You look so young, like 19 or something.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jesus. Do you have a number one go to favorite comedic actor from, like, your. Your youth?

[Seth Rogen]

I mean, I like Bill Murray.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He was. He's kind of. I think.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I think it's either him or John Candy.

[Seth Rogen]

I like John Candy a lot.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Keaton.

[Seth Rogen]

I like Keaton a lot.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Love Keaton.

[Seth Rogen]

Those are probably, like.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Those are three pretty good ones. Marty Short. I love Catherine o'. Hara. Catherine o'.

[Seth Rogen]

Hara, honestly. But, yeah, I would say probably they were in, like, the most movies I liked when I was a kid. Billy Crystal, I really love.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's a very strong roster.

[Seth Rogen]

I loved, like, I was. Yeah. I loved, like, City Slickers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I love C Slickers. I love Billy Crystal. I like when he did the Jazz Man.

[Seth Rogen]

Yep.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

If we're going all time, I'm gonna say Will. Probably Will Ferrell, I think all time for comedy movies. Step Brothers. Very big fan.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. He's made it hard for me because I'm in several of those movies. I know. You can't categorize them.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I know. I know.

[Seth Rogen]

In the same capacity, even though I have small roles, but I. I feel like I. I can't. I can't. I can't treat them the same.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We just saw Will at the SNL finale.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Should we. Can we talk about what happened?

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a real thing.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We talked to John with Paul McCartney.

[Seth Rogen]

We did.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Anyways, you ready for your next question?

[Seth Rogen]

I got you in there.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You got you.

[Seth Rogen]

You.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Paul McCartney came up to you and was like, all right, Seth, let's have a spliff.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

And you literally, like, like, like, you

[Seth Rogen]

just, like, walk for a brief moment, I was like, I need to include as many people in this moment.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You got me and Paul R. Poss and Colin, Joseph's brother.

[Seth Rogen]

I dragged a few people I. Yeah, I. I forced it on several people because I was like, this is too good for me to do by myself.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I really depersonalized while it was happening. I couldn't believe it. Cuz I was like, maybe I'll like, meet him at some point.

[Seth Rogen]

You launched it. You went. You were just like, hey, bad. Like you were right away, like, let it be.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I did not say, hey, man, I'm really sorry about John Lennon. No, the first thing I said is, I said, thank God you're not in Japan. He goes, I had trouble there before. And I go, I know I did turn a little bit into Chris Farley during the Chris Farley show, but I didn't go, hey, man, let it be. It's one of the greatest.

[Seth Rogen]

Remember when you sing on that rooftop?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I said to him, I said, I got emotional looking at the photos of you and the boys from winx. And he goes, it was. It was lovely.

[Seth Rogen]

It was fun.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Holy shit.

[Seth Rogen]

It made me laugh.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

God damn it. Oh, that was wild. Can you ask me a question now, please? Is it him? Time to ask me a question. Thank you.

[Seth Rogen]

In 2011, after decades of civil war, the world's youngest country to date was formed. Name this country.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Say that question again, please.

[Seth Rogen]

In 2011, the year of our Lord 15 years ago, after decades of civil war, the world's youngest country to date. The newest country.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The newest country. What's the newest country?

[Seth Rogen]

What's the newest country? Hot country.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

New country, just dropped.

[Seth Rogen]

What's the new country?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay, okay. The newest country.

[Seth Rogen]

I'm gonna give you.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Everyone's talking about the hottest country.

[Seth Rogen]

I'll give you a hint.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Give me a hint.

[Seth Rogen]

If you don't know the answer. Is it maybe you're racist?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Is it in sub Saharan Africa? That's a hint.

[Seth Rogen]

Yep.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Give me a hint.

[Seth Rogen]

I will. It's an African country.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, oh, okay, okay. It's not Equatorial Guinea. No. You fucking idiot. Racist moron.

[Seth Rogen]

You piece of.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, no, no. I know what it is. It's South Sudan. Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes. You know what it is?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Fucking yes.

[Seth Rogen]

That was good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In your face.

[Seth Rogen]

That was good. Wow.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

All right.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay, okay, all right. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.

[Seth Rogen]

What is the capital of South Sudan?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, come on.

[Seth Rogen]

And if you don't know this, you're a piece of shit. Yeah, it's pretty sure.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay. The capital of South Sudan.

[Seth Rogen]

I'll give you a hint. The first part of the word. Word. It's a two syllable word. Your first part is what? What?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We are cool guys.

[Seth Rogen]

No Bros. Jew.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jumanji.

[Seth Rogen]

It's Jumanji. They held a contest to name the capital.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It was part of Universal's marketing.

[Seth Rogen]

Universal owns this country.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Jack Black is the president.

[Seth Rogen]

Juba.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Juba. If you combine us and North American little country. One more question for me. Wow, I'm so glad I got South Sudan.

[Seth Rogen]

Juba.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Juba.

[Seth Rogen]

Juba. All right. Comedian Lenny Bruce was known for many things.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's a juba.

[Seth Rogen]

He's a juba. One being getting repeatedly arrested for what he said during his acts. What specific criminal offense did Bruce repeatedly get charged with?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's gotta be obscenity.

[Seth Rogen]

It's obscenity. It's obscenity.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's obscenity.

[Seth Rogen]

Okay, nice.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Lenny Bruce, baby. Obscenity.

[Seth Rogen]

Which Yiddish slang word did prosecutors famously cite as obscene during several of his arrests?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's gotta be the schmuck or putz.

[Seth Rogen]

It's schmuck.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's schmuck.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. It's insane.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yoshmuk.

[Seth Rogen]

Ted technically means penis.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But I mean, come on. Imagine some WASPy prosecuting. Like, he is saying the word schmuck over and over again.

[Seth Rogen]

You know, he's saying, smok, smock. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Because they can't get that. I can't. Like, they can do schmuck. They can do schmuck, but they think,

[Seth Rogen]

yeah, I can't roll my Rs. There's singles. There's some things that we should know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You can't roll your arms.

[Seth Rogen]

You can't roll your Rs. In the 1974 movie Lenny, which actor played Lenny Bruce?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Dustin Hoffman.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Who played his wife, I think, was nominated for an Oscar?

[Seth Rogen]

Who?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Valerie Perrine.

[Seth Rogen]

Wow.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Who was Ms. Tessmacher from Superman?

[Seth Rogen]

There you go.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do you think if you were to listen to Lonnie Bruce right now, you would laugh?

[Seth Rogen]

I actually pretty recently went. Tested that theory, and it's not like. Because I do think a lot of it was, like, shock. Like, kind of shock.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Right, right, right.

[Seth Rogen]

I was actually surprised at how, like,

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Pacey and funny and.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes. Like, it has, like, a rhythm that feels very kind of modern. And I. And you would imagine at the time it being, like.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Right.

[Seth Rogen]

Kind of shocking to see someone kind of going at it in that way.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do you think he would advance to the next round?

[Seth Rogen]

Like, the next round and kill Tony?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

He would get, like, I don't get

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

what you're doing, but I kind of like it.

[Seth Rogen]

He's not as good as that guy who pretends to be Mitch Hedberg, but he's pretty good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Have you seen that guy.

[Seth Rogen]

No, I just made that up. What kind of fucking question is that? I just referenced it. Have I seen who.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Seth Rogen]

I have seen that guy. Should we do a whole other podcast called let's talk about that guy who pretends to be Mitch Hedberg? Cause I would also do that. That.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That is crazy.

[Seth Rogen]

That's like a tribute. It's insane.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Comedian.

[Seth Rogen]

It's a tribute comedian.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's nuts.

[Seth Rogen]

It's really weird. But he's also writing his own jokes just in the style.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Style.

[Seth Rogen]

It's even weirder than a tribute. Bad. It would be like if a tribute

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

band did the Beatles, but not Beatles songs.

[Seth Rogen]

It's sort of fake.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here's another song that's inspired by the Beatles.

[Seth Rogen]

Sort of sounds like a Beatle. You sort of buy. It could maybe be a.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But it's about like your poor life.

[Seth Rogen]

Currently not like quite as good as a Beatles song, but it's. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Really? Yeah. Interesting.

[Seth Rogen]

Weird. Yeah, really interesting weird. I don't like it. I don't. I'm just gonna say I don't like it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, I think it's. I mean I got tickets to see him with my family this year.

[Seth Rogen]

He kills.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He kills. He's really good in a loud Tony.

[Seth Rogen]

But he, he, he, he, I, I kills Tony. Tony. I don't like it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I want to see. I just, I like it and I want to see.

[Seth Rogen]

Like you want a lot more.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I want, I want all that stuff. I want a new guy, Gilbert Godfrey.

[Seth Rogen]

A new guy with an arrow through his head.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I want a new guy. I want like a, a Christian guy to come out and be like, hello everybody. Like, I want, I want to see

[Seth Rogen]

more of this new people writing people, a new wave of comedians writing jokes

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

in the style of old comedians.

[Seth Rogen]

Old comedians.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yes. I'm all in.

[Seth Rogen]

I like that idea, brother.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We love you. I don't know your name.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, but I think that you started, started off a new trend of, of comedians. We got a new guy smashing watermelons

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

and he has brother, he's Gallagher.

[Seth Rogen]

We just keep doing it. Wow.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

So right now the score is tied. It's 10 to 10 prizes on the line, my friend. But we still have more questions and the speed round to get to your final subject is Vancouver. All right, all right, here we go, buddy.

[Seth Rogen]

Vancouver.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Is that the.

[Seth Rogen]

There's a theme song. There's like a very famous like music video that a lady made herself that like she tried to like single handedly like pioneer a Vancouver theme song. And it's on YouTube.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's awesome.

[Seth Rogen]

I'll show it to you. It's really funny.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Vancouver, British Columbia, is the third largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver and the surrounding valley comprise the lower main.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What is the name of the valley?

[Seth Rogen]

The valley.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The valley that surrounds Vancouver comprises the lower mainland. I have a hint if you want one.

[Seth Rogen]

I think I maybe need a hint.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's the name of a.

[Seth Rogen]

The Fraser Valley.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Fraser Valley is correct.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Your bonus question. Natives have been living in the Vancouver area for over 10,000 years and includes such indigenous people as the Musqueam, the Tsleil Waututh, and one other group who gave their name to a town one hour north.

[Seth Rogen]

Squamish.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Squamish baby. Squamish baby.

[Seth Rogen]

Squamish baby.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Double bonus.

[Seth Rogen]

Ready?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Vancouver has dozens of vibrant neighborhoods, one of which is Fairview, and it features a shopping district on a peninsula called. What?

[Seth Rogen]

Granville Island.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Granville Island. Dude. Okay, you're killing it.

[Seth Rogen]

You're.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Triple bonus. Triple bonus. Be careful.

[Seth Rogen]

It's funny how the Internet says that. Cause, like, I've lived in Vancouver my whole. I mean, I've not. I've lived there. I'm from there. Like, I would never call that neighborhood Fairview.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You would never call it Fairview.

[Seth Rogen]

I've literally never heard it described as that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Listen, that's what Grok said. Triple bonus. What? 2011 film, the fourth in its franchise, shot its final scene on Granville Island.

[Seth Rogen]

Whoa. There's a scene.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

A movie that's the final scene of a. Of a franchise that has made many movies. Some recently shot its last scene a Granville Island.

[Seth Rogen]

Many movies. Some recently. Whoa.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're a fan of these movies? I'm a huge fan of these movies.

[Seth Rogen]

This franchise, a Fast and Furious franchise. No, it's obviously not that. What is it?

[Announcer]

I don't know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol. They shot a gremlin scene when they're all kind of like. I think it's when he sees. What's her name?

[Seth Rogen]

His wife with, like, a family.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah. It's like Ving Rhames is like, good job, Ethan. And then he turns and he sees. She's the great actress from White Lotus, whose name?

[Seth Rogen]

Michelle Monahan.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Michelle Monahan. She's great. He sees her. They shot that, I believe, on Granville Island. I think Simon Pegg was there too. I'm a very. That is the best Mission Impossible, by the way. That's the one with the Burj Khalifa. Yes, that's the best one.

[Seth Rogen]

That one's really, really, really good.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You are a proud son of Vancouver, a city that I love very, very much.

[Seth Rogen]

You do?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I love it. I love Whistler.

[Seth Rogen]

You love it all.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I go up there even though I think skiing is shit.

[Seth Rogen]

You like Squamish?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I love Squamish. Want to buy a place in Squamish?

[Seth Rogen]

They solve the housing cris. New York Times.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Just read that article yesterday.

[Seth Rogen]

I sent it to you.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Wait, you've heard about this guy who imitates Mitch Hedberg? What neighborhood did you grow up in?

[Seth Rogen]

In.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In Vancouf.

[Seth Rogen]

I mean, I guess in. In. In the most technical terms. They would probably call it, like. Like the sunset air.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, not Fairview.

[Seth Rogen]

No. Yeah, not Fairview. I grew up on the east side of Vancouver. I. I would call it, like. I grew up off of, like. Like in Vancouver. It's like. Like, you just say the streets. I grew up between Maine and Fraser on Vancouver.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's so funny doing research on someone you know very well. Yeah, like. Like, I was doing research and you have, like, the most Jewish origin story. You're like, fucking.

[Seth Rogen]

I would say I was the most Jewish origin story.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, but it's like. It's like Seth Rogen started his career imitating Rabbi Yakov Hershkowitz at the Schlo Goldstein Hadassah camp for kids with. I did go to J. Curly hair.

[Seth Rogen]

I did go to Jewish camp at Jewish elementary school.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I went to Jewish elementary school at Jewish camp too.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. So my family was not religious at all.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We were not in MIT either.

[Seth Rogen]

What, were.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Were there a lot of Jewish kids in your neighborhood?

[Seth Rogen]

No, I grew up in a 100% other than me East Indian neighborhood. And the street signs were literally written. It was called the Punjabi market. And, like, the street signs were not in English.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, that's why you're friends with Mindy K. Language.

[Seth Rogen]

Exactly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Very drawn to Indian.

[Seth Rogen]

That is why. No. Yeah. I grew up in a completely East Indian neighborhood.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I grew up, you know, grew up in Chicago. It's very mixed. Yeah, but you're very safe. But then I remember going to, like, basketball camp in, like, rural Wisconsin, and we told these kids, like, yeah, we're Jewish, and they beat the shit out of us.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, there was a lot of people just from other countries where you. There was just like, kind of an ingrained. Like, there was a lot of kids from Hong Kong who just never met a Jewish person, basically. So, like, I think there was some of that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

But these kids had met a Jewish person and didn't like them.

[Seth Rogen]

And specifically didn't like them.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The next year, we went back and like. Or maybe when the. Those kids left, me and my Jewish friends were like, we're just going to tell everyone we're Italian. Just like, can we just fucking avoid this? How old were you when you met Evan Goldberg?

[Seth Rogen]

Like 12 or 13.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's insane. Where was this at, by the way?

[Seth Rogen]

We met in bar mitzvah class. Well, we kind of had to call

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

it bar mitzvah class.

[Seth Rogen]

Well, it was. It was. It was bar mitzvah class. Like, we met in the class you take to prepare for your bar mitzvah. Basically, yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I gotta say, I love sitting in the writers room with you guys.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

God, no one else. Every time Seth come up with that

[Seth Rogen]

makes one of the writers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's an amazing dynamic. You are standing there typing while Evan is, like, doing yoga. Yeah. Doing yoga with, like, an elect electronic kit he wraps around his face to like. Yeah. And then you guys give each other a little kiss after a nice.

[Seth Rogen]

Every. Every good joke.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're not alone. There are some very big names from Vancouver. Ryan Reynolds.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. Yep. Allegedly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Allegedly. That's what they say.

[Seth Rogen]

That's what they say.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Michael J. Fox is from Vancouver.

[Seth Rogen]

He really. He's from, like, right outside of Vancouver. But yeah, I think. No, maybe he's from, like, the greater Vancouver area.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, yeah. Remember we were talking about Ryan Gosling.

[Seth Rogen]

The Gauz.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Gauz. The Gauzes from the Property Bros. Joshua Jackson.

[Seth Rogen]

Joshua. My sister went to high school with Joshua Jackson, who was in the Mighty Ducks movies, like, while we were in high school. So, like, it was pretty. It was fa. He was famous.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Conor Bedad from the Blackhawks. Buble the Boobs. The Property Bruvs. The Property Bros. Hey, Property Bros.

[Seth Rogen]

They're the ones from Liverpool.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We're the Property Brothers. We'll fix your gaff night. And then the beautiful boy himself, Nathan Fielder. Yes, I saw Nathan at the Peabody Awards a couple weeks ago.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah, he won, right?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He won a Peabody Award. And it's so funny because, like, so many of the things the Peabody Awards are like this Frontline special about Gaza or this, you know, special about, you know, poverty. And then like, and Nathan Fielder, and then the clip they showed is him breastfeeding from the giant puppet and just gargling milk out of his maw. It was so, so funny. Hey, remember you told we were talking about Eric Staltz shooting a lot of Back to the Future and getting Place. I was thinking about that the other day. I always thought it was like a scene.

[Seth Rogen]

I was told that it was like most of the movie almost all of the movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're not going to do that with me in the studio, are you? Like season. Season three, like John Bernthal is.

[Seth Rogen]

You see John. You see? Exactly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Got cre.

[Seth Rogen]

Like he just keeps beating the living out me. You got to stop murdering the filmmakers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What is a Canadian stereotype that's actually spy on, like, Chicagoans are alcoholics.

[Seth Rogen]

So are Canadian. Canadians drink a lot as well.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You drink a lot. I was just there. You drink a lot.

[Seth Rogen]

I think Canadians drink more per capita than any. But than anyone else.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Definitely beer. They're the biggest beer drinkers in the

[Seth Rogen]

world, that's for sure. What is the thing?

[Announcer]

We're.

[Seth Rogen]

We're. We're pretty polite, I'd say. We're. We're pretty nice, I think.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That is a very. That's a very good answer. Yeah. All right, here's your last two questions about. About Vancouver. One of the jewels of Vancouver is its eponymous island. Vancouver island. Eponymous, which hosts a 55 acre tourist attraction called what?

[Seth Rogen]

A 55 acre tourist attraction on Vancouver Island.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I can give you. I can make up a Strathcona Park.

[Seth Rogen]

No, that's like thousands of acres. What is that? I have no clue.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

This is Butchart Gardens.

[Seth Rogen]

Oh, Bouchardt Gardens.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Bouchard Gardens.

[Seth Rogen]

I've never been there.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

All right, here we go.

[Seth Rogen]

Butchart Gardens.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here's a chance for you to really get a lot of points here.

[Seth Rogen]

I think Vancouver island has the highest concentration of, like, devil worshipers and, like, neo Nazis out of anywhere in the world.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Are you serious?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah. Cause it's like. Cause there's, like, so much empty space. You could just, like, appropriate land for yourself.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I bet you devil worshipers and neo Nazis. Nazis don't get along.

[Seth Rogen]

Don't see eye to eye. Yeah, that's a cool movie idea. Oh, a bunch of Devil versus sadness versus Nazis.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Hey, literally. That's awesome.

[Announcer]

In rural.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

In rural Vancouver, you shoot it close to home.

[Seth Rogen]

I like that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Here's your bonus question. Vancouver island has many rivers that drain the island. For a point each, name as many

[Seth Rogen]

as you can of the rivers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Island. There are so many. I just wrote down, like, Campbell River. Yes, that is one.

[Seth Rogen]

Is there, like, the Powell? No. Probably the Fraser River. I don't even. I don't know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

This is crazy. Ready?

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Somas.

[Seth Rogen]

No.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Nimkish.

[Announcer]

No.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

The Englishman. They really snuck that one.

[Seth Rogen]

These all sound like sexual maneuvers.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, I tried the Englishman's wife last night. Yeah. But I farted. Koichan 9.

[Seth Rogen]

Nanaimo.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Campbell.

[Seth Rogen]

NY Nimo. Campbell River.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Puntlage. Salmon Gold. Souk and stamp.

[Seth Rogen]

I like to know anything.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, that one. See, I told you. They get harder and harder.

[Seth Rogen]

They are. Are. That's.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Have you shot a movie in Vancouver?

[Seth Rogen]

Yes, we shot the interview in Vancouver. We also shot 5050 in Vancouver.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay.

[Seth Rogen]

Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That's got to be nice to go home and shoot.

[Seth Rogen]

No, I don't like it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Why?

[Seth Rogen]

Because, like, it's like I find it actually hard to shoot where like your whole, like, you know, like you're after working all week, your mom's like, you gotta come over and like, see your cousins and there. And then you gotta come for dinner tonight. And like, it's like, it's. You're always like having to do stuff to like, satisfy the fact that your family is there and you're from the place and you're not there that often. And so I find it hard. I'd rather shoot a place where my entire life is not.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Is not there. That makes sense. You could sleep in a little bit.

[Seth Rogen]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

So many movies were shot there, but the one that I didn't realize. First Blood was shot there.

[Seth Rogen]

Rambo. First Blood. Yeah. In the forest around there.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

How good that movie is?

[Seth Rogen]

Really good. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's so good. It is so nuanced.

[Seth Rogen]

It's cool.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

One death.

[Seth Rogen]

One death.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's.

[Seth Rogen]

The cops are like, they're just chasing him.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He's a Vietnam. That. It really shows you how dumb our culture got that that movie's made and it's fucking awesome. And then the next movie is him

[Seth Rogen]

just shooting, murdering everybody.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He houses Southeast Asians. It's really fucked up. It's not okay.

[Seth Rogen]

I know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'm also like, low key.

[Seth Rogen]

You'd expect more from Sylvester Stallone.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I would expect more from the Tulsa King.

[Seth Rogen]

I'd expect more from our like, our consulate. From Hollywood to Jesus Christ to watch it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'll throw a little shade.

[Seth Rogen]

That's our next podcast.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'm gonna throw a little shade.

[Seth Rogen]

I'm throw a little shade.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

That would get so many views.

[Seth Rogen]

I'm gonna throw. You know what that would be. Throw a little shake.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

What's the over under movie? What's the over under an actual good movie Stallone has made.

[Seth Rogen]

Oof.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I think it's like four, dude.

[Seth Rogen]

I mean, number one, obviously by far.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You're gonna say demolition back.

[Seth Rogen]

I was gonna say demolition. You know me too well. For sure.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I know you love and I'll give

[Seth Rogen]

you that number two, Rocky Takeoid Cash.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I. Yes, I enjoy that movie very much, but I don't.

[Seth Rogen]

It's not a good movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's not a good movie. I would say Rocky First Blood, Copland and Rocky 3.

[Seth Rogen]

I like. I don't give a. About any Rocky movie.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, you don't like that.

[Seth Rogen]

Sports.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, you don't like sports in general.

[Seth Rogen]

So Rockies can go rock. You can have your Rockies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Okay. Won an Oscar.

[Seth Rogen]

You can have your Rockies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You can have your Rockies and hit the road. Stuff your Rockies in a. In a sack. Get out of here.

[Seth Rogen]

You know what? I'm gonna throw some shade.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You know, I'm gonna throw a little shade. Stallone, maybe not as good as Schwarzenegger.

[Seth Rogen]

Not even Schwarzenegger's in a hundred of the greatest movies ever.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Predator alone is better than anything.

[Seth Rogen]

I mean, Stallone has no Terminator too.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No, he's not.

[Seth Rogen]

You know what I mean? Or True Lies. Like, legit great.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, Schwarzenegger's been in some bad ones, but, like, fucking like. Stallone made a run of movies from, like, 1997 to 2012. Do you remember Driven?

[Seth Rogen]

Of course.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do you remember Daylight?

[Seth Rogen]

Of course. He's trapped in the Holland Tunnel.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Do you know what his name is in Daylight?

[Seth Rogen]

Something cool, I bet.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Kit Latura.

[Seth Rogen]

Kit Latura. Okay. Get out of here. I saw that in the theater.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Like, I said, Driven in the theater.

[Seth Rogen]

I saw Driven in the theater, too.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Insane. Insane. Insane movie.

[Seth Rogen]

So I've been bitten more by stolen, like. Yeah, I've gone to those movies.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

One more thing about movie shot in Vancouver. The Last Mimsy. And I remember the first day we were shooting the studio, Chase turned to Katherine Hahn and goes, katherine, I was a huge fan of the Last Mimsy. And I remember thinking, like, you fucking dork.

[Seth Rogen]

You're a child.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You are a child nerd.

[Seth Rogen]

I for sure have never seen the last mimsy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

No?

[Seth Rogen]

When did that come out? In like two. 2010 or something?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, probably like, Chase's, like, 11th birthday.

[Seth Rogen]

Exactly.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Mom, I want to go see the. All right. Why don't you ask you a question? My last series of questions before the speed round, my friend.

[Seth Rogen]

Whoa. Okay. Which Carthaginian?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Carthaginian.

[Seth Rogen]

Carthaginian general famously invaded Italy by crossing the Alps with an army of 37 war elephants in 2018.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's the name of my favorite TV show. It's Hannibal.

[Seth Rogen]

It's Hannibal Barca.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Hannibal Barka.

[Seth Rogen]

Where's this guy getting elephants?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

He would get elephants from inside Africa or India, I assume.

[Seth Rogen]

Crazy. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Carthage is Tunisia.

[Seth Rogen]

There you go. Which Roman general eventually defeated Hannibal at the battle of Zama in 202 BCE ending the Second Punic War.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It's gonna be Scipio Africanus.

[Seth Rogen]

Look at that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Boom.

[Seth Rogen]

Boom.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

They gotta make that movie. They've been for years. Vin Diesel had that movie. He's like, I'm playing Hannibal. I think I'm the guy who could do it. I'm the only one who could do it. And I was like, great, Denzel is gonna do it now. I think he might be too old.

[Seth Rogen]

85. 85 year old. He's an 85 year old, Hannibal.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Denzel's not 85. And I do not fart a lot.

[Seth Rogen]

Those two things are true. Two things I know.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Is there another bonus question?

[Seth Rogen]

There is one more. Hannibal's home city of Carthage. You know, you already answered this. Hannibal's home city of Carthage was. Hannibal's home city of Carthage was located in what modern day North African country?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Tunisia, baby.

[Seth Rogen]

Tunisia, baby.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Massive country. Tunisia. I think it's the biggest country in Africa in terms of land volume.

[Seth Rogen]

Tunis.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Tunis. Mount of. Tunis.

[Seth Rogen]

Tunis, Tunisia.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You. Is there. What's that?

[Seth Rogen]

A whole other question.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, there's a whole other question. Okay, last one question.

[Seth Rogen]

While there's many popular YouTube videos like. Yeah, and we know that.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah, there's many.

[Seth Rogen]

There's one thing we know. Well, there's many popular YouTube videos, which was the first to break 1 billion views.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Well, there's one thing I know, there's a lot.

[Seth Rogen]

Yes, there's many popular YouTube videos which was the first to break 1 billion views.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

1 billion views. This is a really good question. Cause, I mean, this could be chocolate rain. This could be Charlie bit my finger. This could be one billion one.

[Seth Rogen]

Billy.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's gonna be Gangnam Style.

[Seth Rogen]

It's Gangnam Style. Gangnam Style.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Yeah.

[Seth Rogen]

That little bastard's still popping out of floors doing that silly little dance. God bless him.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I gotta say, it's badass that he pops out of the floor.

[Seth Rogen]

That song is in the movie. This is the end during the big drug sequence.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, listen.

[Seth Rogen]

And just so, like, it was not cool any. Like, we were well past it.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

You said to me, like, you're like, I'm wondering if we should have used a different song. And I was like, no, it's hilarious that you used it. It's a time capsule. In a good way. It's really good. It's hilarious. You've worked with psy. That is amazing.

[Seth Rogen]

Not really, but like, we did try to replace. There was a one where, like, we can't have Gang Up Style as the song. This is so stupid. And we tried like a Hundred songs to replace it. We were like, none of them have what Gangub style has. No ye even in a vacuum. It's a good song. Yeah.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Listen, it's a great song. It's a song I got married to. I popped out.

[Seth Rogen]

You. You popped out and you rode the rodeo down the aisle to your wife.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Oh, there's one more double bonus.

[Seth Rogen]

Double secret bonus.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Double secret bonus. If it's anything else about sai the rapper, I. I don't know.

[Seth Rogen]

It is. Who sings Gangam style? I don't.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I don't accept that. It's too easy. I'm not giving myself that point because I already said it. So boom, there we go.

[Seth Rogen]

While Gangnam Style dominated YouTube, the official Billboard Year End Hot 100 had a different top five in 2012 for one point each. Name any of the 2012 Billboard top five.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

See, this is where I just 2012.

[Seth Rogen]

Just for the record, I would never get this in a hundred fucking million.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Never would I know this. I'm gonna guess like Trap queen.

[Seth Rogen]

No.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

By Fetty Wap.

[Seth Rogen]

No.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I don't know any of them.

[Seth Rogen]

I don't know somebody that I use.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Turn up.

Wow.

[Seth Rogen]

And lights by Ellie Goulding.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Ellie Goulding.

[Seth Rogen]

Ellie Goulding.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Why didn't Gangnam Style crack that top?

[Seth Rogen]

We already got a billion views on YouTube and not even in the Billboard top five.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

I don't get it. It doesn't make sense.

[Seth Rogen]

I don't get it. It sounds like bullshit.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

It sounds like bullshit to me.

[Seth Rogen]

Hey, can we throw some shade?

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

Can we throw some shade real quick? We're the jizz guys.

[Seth Rogen]

Hi.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

We're the jizz guys. We're going into the speed round and the score is tied. 14 14. This has never happened before. Holy. Are you ready for the speed round? Speed round. Here we go, baby. So here's how this is going to work. Seth Aaron Rogan. I'm gonna go first. I'm gonna ask you questions. You answer as many as you can in 90 seconds.

[Seth Rogen]

Pass.

[Host (Ike Barinholtz)]

If you get it right, I will say yes and toss the card. If you get it wrong, I will say no and put the card here so I can tell you the right answer afterwards. The key to this is if you don't know it, say pass right away. Okay. All right. Here we go. 90 seconds on the board. Seth Rogen. This is the name of the liquid mixture of clay and water that is applied to pottery surfaces.
