Statleapers! Facts, Figures + Friends from Season 1+2 · Fandomonium! A Fandom Comedy Game Show

0:25
So I've not really planned a format here, guys. I figured we keep
0:28
this quite loose, Lucy goosey, because I know you've prepared, like so
0:31
many things. You like, I'm loose. That's how you start. That's
0:33
your first words of twenty twenty three listeners. Yeah, I don't even know
0:38
if that's true. I don't know. I don't think it's trying difference.
0:41
I don't know why people say that all training comments. No, I think
0:47
I'm just gonna let it. You're like, loose or not, it's gonna
0:51
want to build on top of the thing I just put down for you.
0:54
It's gonna let all that hang out in the air like a bad fart.
1:00
Well, look, welcome back to gate Leapers. It's twenty twenty three.
1:03
It's a new year. And before we get going with a fantastic lineup of
1:07
games. Holy shit, the fandoms we have planned this year, the games,
1:11
the guests, there's a lot we've we've been busy bees over the Christmas
1:14
period. Yes, but before we get to that, Jason has so kindly
1:18
prepared a whole load of stats info figures, numbers on the last two years
1:26
of gate Leapers. Yes, I just now realize that's a new stat right
1:29
here, to one more than the last. Yeah, yes, thank you
1:36
for that. Yeah. No, I've been compiling some numbers. I've been
1:38
in the back office here being a number monkey, and I've got some stats
1:42
for you. So welcome to stat Leepers pop culture. Yes, love it,
1:49
We love it all right, so without I mean, we can just
1:53
get straight into it. Honestly, absolutely, I like I like gate Leapers
1:57
because it's a game and something that is fascinating about sports that I never got
2:00
into is stat based things. That's true. So I mean, just starting
2:04
off broadly. In the last two years, we've had a total of thirty
2:08
eight episodes, oh forty if you count both the September episode okay and the
2:15
Christmas special that we released, So yes, forty episodes. Forty episodes.
2:19
Yeah, at least thirty eight full panel games. That's yeah. Yeah,
2:23
you've written a lot. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, I
2:28
mean there's a listeners might know. There's a bit of a template there.
2:30
So yeah, it doesn't take me too long to write each episode. But
2:34
it's just good. Every question must be conceived of absolutely, like it's a
2:38
lot of conception. Yes, it's Yeah, it's it's a lot of work,
2:42
and thankfully it's exactly what I want to be doing on this planet,
2:46
so it doesn't feel like work. That's fantastic. Yeah. Um, of
2:51
those forty episodes or thirty eight full panel episodes, thirty three different fandoms?
2:55
Oh, which is interested? Yeah, so we've repeated a couple a few
3:00
Yeah, and I was going to say I was going to say, yeah,
3:07
but I don't know, like, did we do one of them three
3:09
times at any point in time? And then what is what is that paring
3:14
the breakdown? I know we've done Dungeons and Dragons twice, I believe,
3:17
Yes, have we Wait, I don't think we have the Witch stats because
3:23
I wasn't expecting that one. I don't think we have. We've done Marvel
3:30
several times, Yeah, that show. We have done Harry Potter several times.
3:35
Sequel Yeah yeah, well the first one with our Jen Reagan and then
3:38
the other ones with Pete and Graham. Yes. Yeah. Oh can we
3:42
say can we say nice things about the guests as we mentioned them? Absolutely,
3:46
I have stats on specific guests. Well, I'll say nice things then
3:49
I'll save it for that. Yeah yeah yeah, Um, and then I'm
3:53
trying to think of other ones that we don't. I think it's honestly those
3:54
two just much just a lot we must have WW that is the other one.
4:00
General I kept aw separate, separate, ruthless aggression in WWE. Yeah,
4:05
we're repeats absolutely uh Lord of the Rings No, no, just the
4:11
one yeah yeah yeah maybe yeah, because there's gonna be a movie coming out.
4:18
Yeah yeah, we do like r SEO um so on the on the
4:25
point of Audre being on episodes, yes, appearance wise, yes, now
4:30
you would think, you know, us being the co captains and regulars,
4:32
that number would be the same. Audre does have slightly more appearances than me.
4:36
Yea, she has uh forty, you know, and every every episode
4:42
season regular. Yeah, I've had thirty nine. September episode was one missing
4:46
me. Oh of course. That was when we were trying out the new
4:48
Folmatt Yeah, and potentially playing around with a bit more topical stuff. Look,
4:53
if I could clone myself and there could be two of me, we
4:57
absolutely would release that every month as a patrio on bonus, because I love
5:00
doing the topical things of like what do you remember from this last month?
5:04
In fandom and stuff that would be hard to do on the regular without like
5:08
a dedicated cast of funny people that we could rely on once a month.
5:12
But yeah, where are you going to find funny people in this economy?
5:16
Well, we're going to find them. The thing is lots of guests that
5:19
we've had over the months, and I guess he is hilarious. I still
5:26
find it amazing that I can reach out to someone who I'm like. I
5:29
listen to their work, be they a podcaster or a writer, whatever it
5:32
is they do, and I listened to it and I go, oh wow,
5:34
they're funny, affable, they seem like they'd be great to get on
5:38
with, and they're really obsessed with this one fandom. Yeah, let's get
5:42
them on. Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think we've had a
5:45
bad guest. I think I think we've had guests that are better than others.
5:48
But I don't think we've had a bad guest better than others. So
5:55
let's let's get to the meat and potatoes of it. I mean, yes,
5:57
we do want to get into some specific guests, but me and are
6:00
being the ones who are on the show the most, captain the most stats
6:04
to pull from, because, as we know, larger pool yep, the
6:08
more accurate, right, I think this is the thing that most people want
6:10
to hear. Yes, absolutely, So let's let's stop the episode after we
6:15
jokes. Yeah, um, we cannot count jokes. However, what we
6:19
can count, can we guess? First? Cannot Please do make predictions between
6:25
me and are Yeah, like who has won the most games? Let's do
6:28
who has won the most games? And how many points? Do you think
6:30
me and Adra has have? Have? Has? Have we had? We
6:34
currently have? Yes? Yes? How much do we You actually have the
6:39
totals that I have? The totals per season and total period? Okay,
6:44
thirty eight full episodes? Thirty eight full episodes? Yes, with competition,
6:47
yep, averaging. I'll tell you right now that most episodes average anywhere in
6:53
the teens. But the early seasons we did get into the low numbers,
6:57
but most of them are are well within the teens, sometimes breaching twenty points.
7:00
I yeah, because this this is not gonna be fully accurate because sometimes
7:04
I don't make the games to balance. I don't balance the games. There's
7:08
no balance. No. Um. I think out between Jason and Aldra as
7:13
captains, observing as the game master who plays the games, runs the games,
7:17
and then as soon as they're done and edited, I don't really think
7:19
about them. I had to think a lot about these episodes. I think
7:24
it might be close, because I think Jason, I think you're you're gonna
7:28
pip it. I think I think you Okay, maybe you've maybe won like
7:30
four or five more episodes than aldre guess, Okay, yeah, and for
7:35
balance, you know, that's that's what games are about, is balance.
7:39
Um, I'm gonna go for me. Yeah, nice by one episode episode
7:45
Okay, fantastic, Yes, absolutely, so we'll go, we'll go.
7:46
Let's let's do this right. In season one, Audra had a total of
7:54
two hundred and forty five points. That's a lot of points. Season one.
7:58
Those are the days of one v one v one. That's a lot
8:01
of points. Yeah. I in season one, Yes, had a total
8:05
of two hundred and twenty six. Oh so I had less so older one
8:09
season one. From that, Yes, Audra also won season one in the
8:13
sense that she had four total wins okay, and I had three wins and
8:18
one tie Mario episode Yes, and which I believe Ben eventually won for you
8:26
know, making right the trophy. Yeah, that means absolutely absolutely how many
8:31
in season one? How many did guests win? How many? How many
8:35
of the episodes? How many of the episodes to guess win? Let me
8:37
suppose I could work that out from however many I won, plus, however
8:41
many Jason won? Minus? Whatever it is, and that will give you
8:45
a negative answer. Hold on, let me count this one. I feel
8:50
like eight is the number. You might be close because I'm looking at it.
8:54
Sixteen total episodes, Yes, you're no? Sorry, seven you're really
9:00
seven? Okay? No? Eight? Eight? Jen had one on top
9:03
yep, there we go, yep so eight episodes. That is absolutely correct.
9:05
Eight episodes, so ultra sort of one unless the guests are because in
9:11
a one v one v one format, it's not so much captain v captain.
9:13
No, it's Therefore, I would say that season one was won by
9:16
the guests team guests. Yeah, I would say absolutely, lots of wins
9:20
by guests. There lots of points by guests as well. Now in season
9:24
two, me and Audra, yes, I had four hundred and twenty five.
9:28
Hello, you could could have gotten five and with them big Prince of
9:35
Egypt preference nice five fewer points you couldn't have gone for that? Could you
9:41
finish and I tried, but uh, that's true. You are. Ardra
9:48
came out with four hundred forty five point five points. Again with Audra total
9:56
wise, if you're doing, if you're out there busting out your calculator,
9:58
your little number monkeys. You we've never had names for our fans, and
10:05
we call them number one. I think we should go with the leap frogs
10:07
or yeah it is. I've been thinking about this for a little bit.
10:13
Dude, that's amazing. Let's climb that right now. Yeah, hey frogs.
10:16
If you're listening to this, you're probably a super fan of Gate Leaperson
10:18
that you're interested in the stats pots of things. Do you consider yourself a
10:22
leap frog? Lets no, do you leap frog army? Rip it off?
10:28
Rip it off? Croap for me? Totals wise, what that amounts
10:37
to is Audre has a total of six hundred and ninety points. Oh sorry,
10:41
six hundred ninety point five points. Don't have a half point? Yeah,
10:46
and then I have six hundred and fifty one. Now that's a lot
10:48
of points. As we're gonna get into it. You know, even our
10:52
most well achieving players, I don't think reach any of them reach one hundred
10:56
points. I mean so, but you guys are on every episode. We're
10:58
on every episode. So to really get a good look at that, you
11:03
gotta do points per game average, and I have that as well. What
11:07
Hobviously, Audre beats me out has in total fifteen wins to my thirteen wins.
11:13
Audra's point average per game is about seventeen point seven one points. Okay,
11:20
so in the teens, like I said, high teens, pretty average
11:24
score. I seventeen point one three, so low seventeens. But we're in
11:28
within the same margin of each other. The Yeah, it just compounds over
11:33
time, and you just revealed that the overall by combining them together. So
11:37
the current score is fifteen to Audre thirteen self chase, that is correct?
11:41
Is correct? Now, I will say, I don't know how people do
11:45
this in regular sports. I have two ties, only has one. A
11:50
tie is not a win, you know. And I have thirty I've I
11:54
have thirty nine appearances, you know. You know. I think the number
11:58
of ties would actor if you were both tied, size would count your absolutely.
12:05
I probably need to stop saying the word tie tie. I think I'm
12:09
also counting in that number. The September episode okay, but not the Christmas
12:16
episode because I think we just won our loss. I don't think there was
12:18
points given during the No, that's been a fun that was been silly.
12:22
So I am counting the September episode because I wasn't on that one, and
12:24
I'm going to give credit where credit is due for Audra to know points for
12:31
average, well points points average, Okay, yeah, yeah, yes,
12:35
that's fine, Yeah, I'll accept it. Yeah. Now that's me and
12:39
Audra's points. Yes, yeah, we're the co count since we've been on
12:43
every episode, there are some interesting facts about points for our guests, okay,
12:48
the ones that make our game right, yes, absolutely. Now the
12:50
funnest one is, if we do not count the September episode, our friend
12:56
Christopher Reagan currently has sixty nine points. Oh nice, nice, you're a
13:03
genius. You see the Long Game. I've always respected that about Chet in
13:09
the Long Game. Yeah right, you'll eventually get to four twenty, we
13:13
know it. Well hell yes, um, But if we do count this
13:16
September episode, he has a tee total. All right, Okay, I
13:20
don't nine. I don't think he does either, just knowing him, I
13:24
don't think he does. All right, Now, points per average points per
13:30
game okay, um, Because they have not been appearing on as many episodes,
13:35
these numbers are slightly skewed. However, still respect or respect is due,
13:39
right. Yeah. We have a couple of players who have preached over
13:43
twenty game twenty points per game, okay, is one of them Jen?
13:48
One of them is not Jen? Oh wow? Jen Reagan uh currently has
13:54
a average points per game of eighteen point two okay, point two, pretty
14:00
pretty hot, more than the captain's Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
14:05
I mean because, as Jen will remind me on the regular, she is
14:09
unbeaten on gate leapers and that will remain in place, and the captain that
14:13
causes her to lose will feel her rasp. Oh but that's a that's a
14:16
good segue into Jen has the longest winning streak YEP, five out of five.
14:22
I believe I'm counting the September episode in that one. YEP. Didn't
14:24
need the stats for that one. I know that fact that one. Now
14:30
she has ninety one total points um, like I said, eight ten point
14:33
two overall average. She is the most impressive win ratio at one hundred percent.
14:35
YEP. There's many many guests with that moon ratio. Of course,
14:39
but you've only appeared once. Come on a couple more times and see if
14:43
that stays up. Yeah, and that'll be impressive that quick. Someone the
14:46
throne, Jen Jen, We love you, We love you. The narrative
14:52
of this year is bringing you down. Yes, yes, absolutely all right.
14:56
Now, so for people who have entered call hall of Fame and honorable
15:01
mention, however you want to refer to it as our good friend. Drew
15:05
averages twenty point eight three points for a game. That's great, That is
15:09
great. His win ratios at a thirty three point three three three three.
15:13
That's fine. Drew's here, it's a score a load of points, have
15:16
some fun, and then get out of here. Yeah, get the fuck
15:20
out of here. Yeah, he has sixty two point five total points.
15:24
Nice and it's not nice, not sixty nine good. It's not nice.
15:30
It's just good. Yeah, we can get you there. It's just going
15:33
to take a sacrifice. It's one one episode where you intentionally tank it,
15:37
Dree. Yeah, so it'll take exactly exactly disappointing. Um, let's see
15:43
here we have a couple people who have also reached the twenty point per game
15:46
threshold. That's one game, not going to count that. Yeah, sorry,
15:50
I mean, come on, yeah, just be a high we scoring
15:54
game. I'm looking at a lot of stats. Time, it's over time,
15:56
you know, that's what you're looking for. Dan felt it, And
16:00
yes, he barely hits the threshold. He's been in two of our games
16:03
win ratio. He has an average points per game of twenty three point five.
16:10
Okay, pretty impressive. That is very impressive. Yeah, really impressive.
16:14
Um. I think he technically holds the highest points per game ratio right
16:18
now now an honorable mention that I really wanted to put out there. Oh.
16:22
Actually, just before you move on, Dan Felton has a new show
16:25
that's coming out, Hey, in the next couple of weeks, might even
16:27
be as this episode comes out. I'm going to put a link in the
16:30
description for this. It's a ten part series that is going to do part
16:36
that's a stat I'm allow. Yeah, the discussion ten part series that is
16:41
sort of a deep dive into contemporary issues surrounding lies and the myths that are
16:48
told by by big big businesses, big companies, and just the daily deceptions
16:55
that are around us. I've got a sneak preview of the first episode.
16:57
It is the most fashionally made thing podcasting space to date. Wow. Him
17:04
and his brother have put so much work into it. It's it's incredible that
17:07
Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. The first episode was all about memes and
17:11
it was great. Oh wow, Yes, Dan, get some stats in
17:15
your show. I'll start listening on that note. So on that note,
17:22
Dan Felton, Yes, twenty three, Yes, point five pretty impressive.
17:25
I will give an honorable mention here to David Rosenberg. Yes aw superfan,
17:30
yes aw, superfan. He only has been on one game, but an
17:33
impressive twenty seven points in that single game, he alone is the highest point
17:41
score of a single game. See that, that game, I remember writing
17:45
it. I think it had a lot of questions compared to your average game,
17:48
so there were more chances for points. If you listen to this,
17:52
David, you had a bit of an advantage. But I've still got You've
17:56
still got the crown as it stands on that particular stas it stands, So
18:00
always room and time to dethrone him king of this ring. But for how
18:06
long? Yeah? Exactly. So he's the person who scored the most points
18:08
singularly. So that was in season one. Yes, as a team,
18:11
the highest points in a single game ever. Yes, was twenty eight points
18:15
by Audre and Dan Felton. Yes, in the Simpsons episode. Yeah,
18:21
so that was pretty impressive too, pretty pretty high stakes. We haven't beaten
18:25
thirty yet. It's my goal for next year. That's my that's my resolution.
18:32
It was gonna be New Year, Save me, and now it's New
18:34
Year save me. But with thirty points, I might have to do some
18:41
point flation. You know, we got under the keep interest. By season
18:47
seven it will be one hundred points per episode. I don't want to do
18:52
stets for that. I'll hire turn at that all right. So those are
18:56
those are some points. Those are some wind streaks, and so on and
18:59
so forth overall win streaks. Of course, Jen owns that one. Just
19:03
an interesting one. I found the narrative of this. I've won every single
19:07
Marvel Hey, honestly, that feels right. Yeah, that feels right.
19:12
If I would have won any of the Marvel ones, I think we might
19:18
have to revoke your nerdy and considering Uldra is in the lead in total of
19:23
games one and the more Marvel than anything else, that just means the on
19:29
average, you're really bad at the phantoms. I think the listeners know that.
19:33
I don't think there's a stat that proves that, other than me being
19:37
worse than Ultra, there's a stat that proves that. I haven't remember one.
19:42
But yeah, yeah, the nis don't lie, yes, but the
19:45
numbers don't lie. I will get a little mean on this, but it
19:48
is just interesting numbers. A main sometimes the longest losing streak. We gotta
19:51
have the highest winning streaks and win streaks. We gotta have the longest losing
19:53
streak. Me, I've not played any you can't lose. Oh, good
19:57
point, Yeah, you gotta the longest losing streak actually belongs. You would
20:04
think it's Chris. In our friend group, we do make a meme that
20:07
it is Chris. No, but I think part of that is the strategy
20:11
of Chris is to lose, No, just to losing. Chris is a
20:17
very capable smart These are things about people who are losers. Yeah. Yeah,
20:23
but then he'll downplay and being like, oh, I'm not good at
20:26
this and stuff, and it's like, I don't do that. It's either
20:30
it's either genuine poor mental health or he's deceiving everyone. Ah a bluff.
20:36
Yeah, So it doesn't surprise me that Chris doesn't have the worst. Yeah,
20:40
he doesn't have the worst. It's a it's a joke, is he
20:41
of his His current win ratio is one win to five losses. Okay,
20:45
that is in hindsight, that's pretty bad. I thought he was sorry.
20:51
Christ I hadn't put him back down in a streak. It's Audra with eight
20:55
in a row, but she's still in the lead, and she's still an
20:59
the lead in some one, so I'll actually go through it here. It's
21:02
eight in a row man, and I am also technically tied for that if
21:07
you do not count my tie. Okay, is it tie lose? If
21:11
it ties not a win, is it a lose? Look? Look it
21:12
ties the tie ties, tie, ties the tie. So Otdra was doing
21:17
a really good beginning of season one. She won Star Wars. That was
21:22
really sad for me and Chris. She won Pixar one Game of Thrones good
21:26
and for Mario DC Twilight, Pokemon Aw, the Office, Harry Potter,
21:32
Dune all the way back until her victory. Lord, you lost Dune Yea
21:37
to Alex Alex. That's fine, that's fine. Teams thing. No,
21:42
that's that thing about season one. That's the other format of how she got
21:45
the longest losing stream. I'll take that you did break it with winning Lord
21:51
of the Rings. That feels right, exactly exactly, and that means Older
21:56
must have killed it in season two like Older's team a, Yeah, I
22:00
think so. To have her then be in the lead, I think so.
22:03
Oh, guests killed it in season one. Probably a bit of both,
22:06
A little bit. Yeah. Again, high highest scoring episode ever probably
22:11
helped a lot too. Yeah. She also scored really high and ruthless aggression
22:15
with twenty six points, So there's a lot of high aggression. That's how
22:18
you get this many points. It's amazing this. I'm just gonna take a
22:22
take a beat. This. This is amazing, Jason, all this preparation
22:25
you've done. It's I've always thought of everything we've done as like a narrative,
22:30
a story like the but to hear numbers matched up with it. Yes,
22:33
it's adding evidence on the top of that narrative. There's there's narrative in
22:37
the stats too, so like for a big narrative portion of that. We
22:41
have personal friends Jen and Chris who are on this podcast a lot. They
22:45
live near us. That just makes it easy. Yeah, but we also
22:48
have personal friends Adam and Ash, Yes, who have appeared on this episode.
22:52
Now, the interesting thing about this for listeners, Chris and Jen are
22:56
married, Adam and Ash are married, Adre and Matt are married. Yep,
23:00
I am single, ladies. So if you're listening, ladies, so
23:08
Jen and Chris. So Jen has been doing great on a winning streak.
23:12
Yes, Adam was doing great on a winning streak. He won two.
23:17
Then Jen Adam were selected to be on the same episode Bachelor episode Yes spoiler,
23:22
having known that Jennis on a five on five winning stre Yeah, Jen
23:26
was the thing that crushed Adam's winning streak. You have to do this.
23:30
When you've got two people who are unbeaten, you've got to put them against
23:32
the Yeah, you have to. You've got to decide who's the top two
23:36
champions enter why and Yeah, and Jen came out on top of that monster.
23:44
Man, I do know off the top of my head a stat for
23:45
that particular episode that was definitely the longest episode of gate bleepers O stat.
23:51
I didn't do time stat. Genuinely, I had to cut so much good
23:56
content from that oh wow, because Jen had so many Bachelor Bachelorette facts that
24:00
were just great tip bits that led to great conversation, but I just had
24:06
to cut it because I couldn't release a two and a half hour podcast that
24:08
wasn't going to happen. But it was fantastic. If we could do that
24:12
all the time and then release them as like part one, Part two,
24:15
then maybe, but maybe one of these days and yeah, Adam could have
24:21
potentially redemption. Yes, just fun fact for you out there, Adam,
24:25
you have two wins out of three games that you have discussed good on yep,
24:30
uh sixty six point sixty seven percent win ratio, thirteen point three point
24:34
wins per a game, so a little lower than your average bear. It
24:37
doesn't matter, you know, thirteen wins of the game. Thirteen wins of
24:41
the game. That just that just speaks to how much the games fluctuate in
24:45
terms of maximum possible score. Absolutely because I put look, I put thought
24:48
into making the games. I don't put thoughts into how balanced it could be,
24:53
and so these stats meant nothing. And thank you for listening to this
24:56
episode. O it don't matter, Drew Kerry, Uh No, but so
25:03
so that was the thing between Adam and Jen. Now on the other side
25:06
of the couple, Christian Ash yes, Chris christ Christian as Yeah, Christian
25:11
as christ Christianian breaking Outrussians from the fandom flashback. Check out our December EFFI
25:18
show. We just did Muppet voices for basically half an hour's favorite I'll do
25:26
it now, I'll do it no um Paton, Yeah, yeah exactly.
25:33
Chris and Ash were both on a losing streak, and so we fitted them
25:37
against each other. Yeah, in the community episode. The community episode,
25:41
so it's time to decide who will finally win something, yes for once in
25:45
their goddamn life. And and it was Chris who won. Okay, Chris
25:48
came out and say, yeah, So Chris and Jen just a power fucking
25:52
couple. What's going on there? I don't know anything about what I think
26:00
it was your use of the word fucking, which in that sense they are
26:03
power. Those are broad stats on points game appearances. Oh another one fund
26:11
that is Ben Robinson. He has appeared four times one one, so twenty
26:17
five percent win ratio there. However, I've got got a shout out Ben.
26:21
While we're talking about everyone. Ben is a fantastic player, really understands
26:25
this game, and I think his skull kind of reflects that. In the
26:29
Yes. The thing that Ben Reedy gets is that it's all about the quips,
26:33
the jokes. It's it's all about having something to say and making the
26:37
entertainment matter more than the points. Even though this is a stats episode,
26:41
please still pay attention to the points matter, Yes, but also the friendships
26:47
a lot. I really enjoyed Ben. Fun fact about him now, well
26:51
technically is that he has created and three printed two trophies for himself. Has
26:57
for the tie and the Mario one and the win in in the Alien Versus
27:00
Predator. Yes, for the two wins he has, So it's two trophies
27:03
in gately PRI's history to Ben Robinson, your point average, Sir, is
27:07
nineteen point two five good high. Yeah he's not higher than us, He's
27:11
not just showing up. Yeah, he's high. People, you're higher than
27:18
us. Um. And then also has the most well, he's tied for
27:22
ties with me. That two ties the Super Mario Goddamn episode. You keep
27:27
saying this, but I think Ben won that one. Okay, I mean
27:32
you'll have to. Yeah, it's fine, it's fine. Yeah, but
27:36
um, that's a that's a good segue into the two ties that have been
27:38
totally had at gately PRI's history. Yes, the first time between me and
27:41
Ben for Mario. The next one, which I thought was really impressive,
27:45
was in the James Cameron's Avatar where both teams tied, which you know is
27:52
somewhat less impressive, but when you factor in that there's four people all contributing
27:56
to points, yeah, and that we all came out with ties, that's
28:00
pretty fucking crazy. And it was the episode that we decided didn't really matter
28:03
anyway, because we roasted a fandom for the first time. Yes, very
28:07
fun oh which Drew and Ben would you've mentioned already? Very fun stuff.
28:11
I mean that was just that was one for the hard cause that was it's
28:15
simultaneously almost like niche episode, but at the same time one of our most
28:19
broad episodes so far. Yeah, so far we're gonna go, but also
28:26
more broad. We're gonna do both. We are genuine Oh look, it's
28:33
twenty twenty three. We're in meta maternity. As I'm always saying, we
28:37
can be two things at once. No, you're absolutely right, You're absolute
28:40
right. We're gonna get it. Fans of two thousand and six Sonic the
28:42
Hedgehog, Oh yeah, Sonic. Then we're gonna go, we're real broad,
28:47
super broad. How how is that glass onion? You like them?
28:49
Knives Out? We'll love it. Are they're gonna have to release more films
28:52
before we can do a Knives Out? Had a third film? Do we
28:56
think we could think film? Yeah, and we'll call it the ben wa
29:00
Blanc Mysteries episode a Knives Out story Gate Leapers a Knives Out podcast. There
29:08
we go catchy. Also a fun fact about those ties. Both ties were
29:15
tied with each other, both ties who ended in points of sixteen six people
29:21
getting sixteen at the same time. Is this what feeling like a conspiracy?
29:27
Is? Yeah? Right? Like sixteen that with twins two forever? Kind
29:33
of weird considering we are the ones who control the game. Yep, Why
29:37
I suppose we don't control the aspect of it? To me? Oh,
29:40
that's true. I guess it's not. Maybe it's less conspiracy. Is this
29:42
what believing in God feels like? Yes, believing in God and believing in
29:48
the number sixteen just as difficult as each other. I want to give me
29:52
a couple of seconds. I got to look up my angel number. I
29:56
mean, if it's sixteen, I'll piss on on podcasts on command oh,
30:03
fantastic, love it. We're gonna do that, And then another like how
30:08
you just went into mindless segue mode. No matter what I'd have said that,
30:12
you'd have been like, yeah, love that. Love that. Now
30:17
back to the numbers, Bay incredible. I have a stat here for gotta
30:21
stat how many times Matt's pissing sitting in the hosting chair. I can't imagine
30:26
how many times Matt just goes, that's the thing. Jason said, what
30:30
the fucking let's go on, because that's what I'm doing. I'd say two
30:33
point three times per episode is probably the stat. Christ Almighty. Another rare
30:41
thing that happens in Gately Press. Yes we say this also almost every time,
30:45
but it is rewarded out. But the point five it is rare.
30:48
It is, right, however, maybe not as rare as you think.
30:51
Oh really, four times have a point five point been given out? Okay,
30:56
that is the very first episode of Gately first start as you mean to
31:00
go on a W Supernatural? Oh no, I wrote more, I can't
31:08
count. Okay, Marvel A W Supernatural, Wizarding World, and Black Panther.
31:14
Okay, that's right, I wrote four, and then I we recorded
31:18
Black panther and then yes, so five. So I remember in season two
31:25
two you said this was a new format because it prevents the ties. Yeah,
31:29
we've been doing it since day one, literally since day one. Yeah.
31:33
Yeah, So that's just a little fun fact for you, right.
31:34
Yeah. I honestly season one is a blur to me now that we're in
31:40
twenty twenty three. I really remember twenty twenty two, but I think something
31:44
about twenty twenty one being a pandemic. Yeah, yeah, I just it's
31:47
a wormhole. I know we recorded those episodes, and I have strong memories
31:51
of like funny things that the guests said on moments where we just all erupted
31:55
in laughter, but I could not tell you any of the games or how
31:57
they went to. The studio is also the basement at that point in time,
32:01
and so there's like a spatial memory. Yeah, maybe that's also an
32:06
element of that, just to I can see that, just to give you
32:08
another, yeah, another excuse another yeah. Oh um, oh is that
32:14
another fact sound? Yes, yes, when Jason stumbles upon a fact in
32:17
the wild text tone, Oh, that's another text tone for all you guys.
32:25
How many fucking times I laugh? I have a maniacal laughed, don't.
32:30
I don't know how many. It's joyful, Yeah, I was.
32:34
I was told today actually by one of my co workers. It echoes in
32:37
the lunch room. That's to make a maniacal I think it's really you see
32:44
you hear this in the fucking dark with a chair on the chair in the
32:51
dark, he's doing a lot of heavy lift. You could have the friendliest
32:53
laugh in the world. That would still sound creepy in a dark room.
32:57
Sign a track if I'm in that situation, Like the purr of a cat
33:00
sounds terrified. Yea, yeah, like there's and that's just a very calming
33:06
sound to me. Is why I'm giving that as an example. Okay you
33:08
said, oh for a fact? Oh yeah, sorry. Um, the
33:12
only person who currently might be able to contend with Jen is I just noticed
33:16
this now, Katie from your pot two appearances, two appearances, one hundred
33:22
percent wind streak. There we go. So Katie, Katie another fantastic player.
33:28
Yes, it was amazing to have Katie in season one. That was
33:30
a very funny episode, one of my favorites. Absolutely. But then it
33:34
was so good to have Katie and Zoti another couple. Yeah, still single.
33:39
Sorry, Jason because their chemistry is just incredible. Yea. And to
33:44
have them on opposite teams against each other, Yeah, that was that was
33:46
amazing. Yeah, I love that. Um, I absolutely agree. The
33:51
we first met Oti on the episode for a Succession Yes show, I did
33:55
not know, yes, but just and this happens with so many guests as
33:59
well, but just the idea that had heard of him, had heard his
34:02
voice before, not knowing what it would be like for him to be in
34:07
this game, because Katie just comes on as a force like she owns the
34:10
Scott Damn Show. Yeah, you know, and so to be like,
34:14
well, what is Ot like and how is he gonna gel and just having
34:16
him just fit completely. We did not know that Katie and me are are
34:22
the same personality as Oti and Audra are. Yes, in our respective quiet
34:27
thinkers, which is really great for an audio media, our deep considerations of
34:34
what our answer is going to be if only I could put a microphone inside
34:37
your brain, screams screaming. Great for podcasts, but yeah, those those
34:45
are I guess we've got to try and try and have Katie back on this
34:49
year. I think so. I think so. Australian zoning is difficult,
34:53
it is. But look that busy bees at the moment. Check out the
34:57
folio Reference podcast, fantastic media analysis, media review podcast. But also they're
35:02
attending film premiers, they're attending film festivals. Yeah, I love it for
35:07
them. Yes, the hard work is paying off, absolutely absolutely, I'm
35:12
loving it for them. Um. But yeah, So those those are just
35:15
the general broad stats that I had on on individual players and points and so
35:20
on and so forth. I have one more stat for you. Oh yes,
35:22
please, yes, please. Now I thought about this for a little
35:24
bit. We have a lot of different games on this podcast, and I
35:30
do not have the sanity nor time to scrub through every single course, break
35:35
down, every single you know, fucking the quick fire. Oh god,
35:37
oh yeah. If if you'd have done that, you genuinely would have put
35:43
more work into the podcast than me at that point, because that would have
35:46
taken you months, right to have gotten through everything in Merchant scrubbing through it
35:51
like because because what I could do for this is I could generally speaking just
35:53
scrub to the end of each episode stats and then compile onto an Excel spreadsheet,
35:59
which I found that I actually really enjoy. I love salting data.
36:06
I know one of your friends. Does it for a job, Maybe not
36:07
as a job, but just for fun. Yeah, pretty cool stuff.
36:10
Yeah. Now, the one game that we do have the most consistently is
36:15
Journey into Hell. The YouTube comment, oh you are so close to say
36:22
in time that would have been better than any passing knowledge in season two the
36:27
first right, Yeah, yeah, no you no good stuff, good stuffs.
36:34
That first half was really good. It just shows that it's genuine that
36:37
we're just not good at it. We're not in sync. All right.
36:42
So so you got the stats for the most played game other than the quick
36:45
fire around which changes every time. Yeah, exactly exactly, So Journey into
36:49
Hell is the most played game around. However you want to phrase that,
36:53
Yes, it must be, it must and it has to be counting more
37:00
this. Yeah, it's fifteen of our forty. Okay, so it's truly
37:04
consistent. But I mean, does that show a good game variety on my
37:07
part? I think so. We play a lot of different games, because
37:10
you would think for a game that's the most played, it's something at least
37:14
over half. I thought it was gonna be half. Yeah, it's not
37:15
even that. There was a streak. I remember early on when I was
37:19
doing this, and you're I was like tearing my hair out. You're like,
37:21
by the way, in season two, every single episode has a journey
37:25
into hell. That is not true, not true. It appears way more
37:29
in season one ratio. Yeah, maybe just in general actually, but it's
37:34
it's the idea of the two that there was a couple of like there's some
37:37
shopping lists, there's there's a lot of variations on this, right, I
37:39
only ever counted when I listened to the episodes, a game where internet comments
37:45
were read out and that we would have to guess something. So one variation
37:50
on this, I think is like the Simpsons or Community I think, where
37:53
we did compilation videos. So it wasn't necessarily a specific scene, but it
37:59
was a person. It was a character or a person or something that we
38:01
had to guess. And the and the actually the real thing is like you
38:06
have to guess it. If you guess it within the third comment or the
38:08
first comment or whatever, you're out blah blah blah. That that format,
38:12
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, So it could have been
38:14
like also Reddit blogs or comments or whatever the case might be. So any
38:17
variation on that is when I chose fifteen of the forty. Now, the
38:22
exciting thing about Journey into Hell, yes thatt wise, is how many times
38:25
have people guessed on the first fucking how many? It is a lot,
38:31
man, it's ballsy. It's a lot, and it's ballsy. There's been
38:36
a lot of times. It's more. I thought I remembered more actually at
38:39
certain times. But it's when people have like said, on the second comment,
38:44
I should have went with the third the first comment. Yeah, that
38:46
being said, you didn't do it, it doesn't count, all right,
38:51
you didn't get it. You didn't get you got to take the gamble.
38:52
Yeah. So the very first three pointer in Journey into Hell history Audra in
39:00
Star Wars, what the comment was? Imagine James Earl Jones voice saying this,
39:07
and it was Anakin complaining about Sandon an attack of the Clones. Fucking
39:10
went for it and got it. And it could have been from any Star
39:14
Wars movies. Yeah, me and me and Chris fumbled on this. We
39:17
thought it was the no from end of episode three, et cetera, et
39:21
cetera. Yeah, the very first one. How did you get that?
39:23
Ultra? I think maybe there was a setup of me being like, screw
39:28
it, I'm doing it. I'm locking it in. Sure, yeah,
39:30
this is the thing. I remember three points please, and it was and
39:36
you won that episode, so that's fantastic. Another one is both me and
39:39
Ben got three points on this. It was the Super Mario episode. Is
39:43
this the most important game of all time? Sure? There were three d
39:46
games before this, and it was Mario sixty four. Okay, yeah,
39:50
yeah, yeah. David Rosenberg got one for aw This wild card rule is
39:54
getting pretty out of hand. It was Mossley's debut at double or nothing.
39:59
Okay, yes, still don't know what that means, and there's no need
40:02
to there's none. I got one lovely. Oh yeah, this is Harry
40:07
Potter season one. Uh, season one. Yes, I've still not forgiven
40:12
JP Rowling JK Rowling. No, maybe it was Maybe it was JP because
40:16
as Yeah, yeah, some of the comments they spell things wrong. That
40:20
yeah, things wrong all the time, you hear it. Yeah yeah,
40:22
yeah, yeah for for this, And it was Darby's death scene. I
40:24
laughed really loud yep during that scene. I asked really loud during this episode,
40:30
yep, yep. Now here's an interesting one. There was two in
40:35
the Lord of the Rings episode. I mean that's because we had it was
40:38
Chris and old Man. Yeah, we had Chris doing u um lego.
40:44
Lads should have yelled at to everyone, not two people next to him.
40:46
What a fucking asshole. It's the Battle of the Hornburgh for the next Yeah,
40:52
yeah, Audra, and not Chris because he switched answers in his brain
40:57
in between comments. So Chris debated a little bit with us during this.
41:01
He technically kind of had it, but not really at at all. Okay,
41:05
he broke the format. The comment was I like to think Saron felt
41:07
that one, just chilling up in his tower. Then ouch, wtf O
41:13
Council of Yes, Yes, yeah, I'm sure. What did Chris think
41:19
it was? Do you have that? No? Well Chris, Chris thought
41:22
it was something in Rivendell I believe, right. And then he said he
41:28
switched his comment before you said the second comment. But switching a comment is
41:31
still switching. You could wrote it down, yea, in your mind's I
41:36
yep, you wrote it down in the mind's eye of Saron's big glowing mind's
41:42
eye. I h you got one in Spider Man. When I was a
41:45
kid, I dreamed of re enacting the scene that I got older and Uldra
41:52
it's been we still knows what this one is then just a woman's perspective.
42:00
He helped her out there. Well, it was the right age as well.
42:01
Like that definitely, I mean this comes from some experience that girls generally
42:07
think about kissing earlier than boys, dud. And then as so, as
42:10
soon as you're introduced to the concept of an upside down kiss, that must
42:15
blow a girl's mind of like, yeah, what the he think? What?
42:21
Yes? Um? Now Dan Felton and and Matt both got this one.
42:27
Matt his his co host, his co host. Yeah. Now,
42:29
I will have a caveat for this, Dan Felton and Matt. Yeah,
42:32
the Simpsons episode, I broke your format a little bit by saying in a
42:37
team's format, both people could guess, and so that opens up to,
42:43
well everyone should fucking guess on the first comment anyway, that's true, So
42:47
I will add a caveat to that. However, I'll still put credit where
42:51
credit is due. Dan Felton and Matt got Simpsons. Why is no one
42:54
talking about this? His meltdown probably the funniest moment in the Simpsons, and
42:59
it was the net Flanders compilation. So that's another example. And then I
43:02
got one in Simpsons. Oh look, everyone knows okay with everyone is okay
43:07
with this stereotype because he's white hashtag and white racism. Oh yeah, because
43:12
that will have been for grounds keeper Willie will exactly yea, yea. And
43:15
then we're getting to the final ones here. Graham and Audra on Sonny the
43:19
most beautifully sung. They like me. They gave me this train cinematic history,
43:23
ye Charlie compilation video. Yeah, definitely, Jason or me. You've
43:31
dived so much into the stats that you can sider yourself a character outside of
43:36
yourself. J Fama Sano. Yeah, Black Panther, The most unbelievable part
43:43
of this scene is that her boss let her take a break. Yes,
43:45
that was good. That was a good work from CG. I believe CJ.
43:49
Not very fast, very fast, very sass and then Audre and CJ.
43:52
I guess also Black Panther had two three pointers, which is crazy.
43:55
Aldre and M Blade right yeah and M Blade yes yeah, Black Panther.
44:00
I really like the Throne Room. It's so anchor textual and TuS yes.
44:06
Yeah, so there was a lot of huge three pointers. That's it's way
44:09
more than I thought that Please don't make them harder, please plan No,
44:15
I don't think I'll make them harder. But what I would say from that
44:17
is, go for the dunk. Wait wait, wait, not the dunk,
44:20
that's always two points. Go for the three point Sorry wrong basketball technology.
44:25
Yeah the spirit is there for sure, but yeah, no, it's
44:29
it's it's really impressive. The gamble pays off in some instances it looks like
44:34
it and also maybe our because I mean a little behind the curtain thing here,
44:37
I try and make the episodes ninety minutes. Ninety minutes would be the
44:42
perfect length episode of gate Leapers for me. That's what we plan. Sometimes
44:45
at shorter, sometimes quite a bit longer. But I still love it.
44:49
I still love every single minute spend with everyone. But I will say if
44:52
people in the YouTube comment section round go for that three point, amore,
44:54
the episode will definitely come in at ninety minutes. Go for the three points,
44:59
guy, we'll get through the game faster. It's our goal for season.
45:04
Three point three points, three points. Get the fuck out the studio.
45:09
I have a job, I have a life. We're all go lives.
45:12
Let's get well. I don't, but I ever deadly don't well.
45:17
The worst part is you don't and you're losing to all drift winning. I
45:22
had to put those in the Excel spreadsheet. My only life is crocheting.
45:27
That's it. And vibe. I mean that's thank you so much for providing
45:36
all the stats, but especially for a specific game as well. Appreciate your
45:39
time. I mean it will be part of the upkeep. So that was
45:42
I mean that was quantitative data. Yeah, thank you very much. Guys,
45:45
it's been an absolute blast. Let's go for some qualitative data. Yeah,
45:50
I think just looking back, we can talk about stats, we can
45:53
talk about you know, new things that were introduced, blah blah blah.
45:57
I mean just in general. Oh, I mean, let's start with like
46:00
a season one maybe. Okay, what was your guys, like favorite episode
46:04
or like a standout great question? You know that's a fantastic question. Yeah.
46:08
See, okay, season one. We're talking season one when it was
46:10
one v one v one v one exact season I remember the least. Yeah,
46:15
if you want to recap, you did say that it was four people
46:16
one. That's how Yes, yes, yes, you're always playing. It's
46:23
the games master. That's part of the KA. If you want to reminder
46:27
or recap of the episodes we have known I know my babies, Okay,
46:30
I know, I'm no. I think my favorite episode from season one was
46:42
well I've got two, that's kind of cheating. It all clicked for me
46:45
with the first WB episode that we did with Aiden, my sibling. Yes,
46:51
that episode really it cracked me up the most, but it also reassured
46:54
me that we were doing the right thing. Yes, I do remember.
46:58
Format kind of really clicked at that point and I was like, Okay,
47:00
this is something. This is great. Not to say the ones before weren't
47:04
also great and fun, but it just really made me think that. And
47:07
then I have lots of memories of the Dune episode with Alex recording that one,
47:13
so I really loved that episode. I've got lots of fond memories.
47:15
We had the call afterwards after we finished recording. Alex was like, oh,
47:20
Ryan wants to see you guys. Fine up on the call, and
47:22
then we just kept chatting and that was really nice, and that was the
47:27
thing that solidified, Oh, just reach out to people and make connections and
47:31
play games and just have fun, because even if it only happens once,
47:35
it's this great moment in time. It's this great moment that five people can
47:38
experience together. Yes. Yeah, the Dune one was going to be one
47:42
of my first one of my favorite episodes. For one, I love Dune
47:49
two. Losing to Alex on the Dune episode's humility, right, yeah,
47:54
it taught me things, but also that like friendship aspect of realizing before podcasting
48:01
we did not know these people. Yeah. Yes, we're just on a
48:05
call chatting, having a great time, which has continued to be a theme.
48:10
Yes, definitely with a lot of guests. It's just chatting and enjoying
48:16
making something together. And I think that was that was one of the episodes
48:21
where I was like, god, this is so good. Yeah. And
48:24
look, if you're listening to this and you're you've been a long time fan,
48:29
maybe you're a recent fan of gate Leapers and you haven't played yet,
48:31
get in touch. Our email is in the description of the show notes.
48:37
You can contact us on Twitter. Still we still occasionally check that. Join
48:42
our discord, you send us an email gate Leapers at gmail dot com.
48:46
Tons of things. Yeah, just get get in touch because we we love
48:51
playing with new people. Yes, yeah, and if you have an Internet
48:53
connection, some headphones and a microphone, you can play gate Leapers. Yeah,
48:58
yeah, that's all you need. Absolutely, Jason, more about yourself,
49:00
what's your favorite episode? So similar to all of you guys, I
49:02
think a moment that clicked for me where I went this thing works because we
49:08
really want to test out not only pop culture, you know, fan base
49:13
quiz shows. It's the also the idea that in the name itself, we
49:15
wanted to be able to not only celebrate and play trivia in these fandoms,
49:21
but also Jesus Christ, what are we doing? Yeah? So serious?
49:24
Yeah, it's just all silly, right, It's so very silly. Yeah.
49:28
And so Twilight for me was that benchmark of Yes, greeting and talking
49:32
to Katie for the first time after like talking to each other so long on
49:36
Twitter, like we we commented on each other's stuff and releases all the time,
49:39
and then meeting her for the first time. And I absolutely slagged Twilight
49:44
in that episode. Yeah, I had no fucking clue what was going on.
49:47
And what's hilarious about that looking back is in season two there was way
49:52
less of a clue because not only do I have I've never absorbed it.
49:58
At least Twilight was in the zeitgeis you know, and I actually like,
50:02
I find it funny because I use it as a comparison a lot of time.
50:06
But there's a couple of episodes where I'm like, I fucking I was
50:07
more participatory in Twilight. I like Twilight more. Ye yes, I know
50:12
it more. By comparison, it made Twilight seem pretty good. So it's
50:15
a benchmark. I really slagged it, but uh, it's it's a It
50:19
has a place in my heart because it was the first and I've never I
50:22
think for similar you never forget your first. Yeah, that's exactly where which
50:27
would be our first episode with Bed Boswell, that would be the first one.
50:31
Um yeah, I got really excited to that one too. Yeah.
50:35
No, I honestly shout out to Bear for helping us get this show off
50:37
the ground, like we needed another person to to try out the format to
50:43
begin with, and that really helped us out with that. Um So,
50:47
just on that note, honorable mentions for season one. I'm also going to
50:51
throw out the Super Mario episode and the Game of Thrones episode of just interacting
50:55
with Ben and Dan of both Exploration and I'm gonna say assaulted Goods, but
51:01
also his new podcast. Check that one out that respectively. Like those again,
51:07
same as with Katie, right, it's it's and with Alex it's meeting
51:10
people who we chatted to digitally but had not spent a solid amount of time
51:15
with. And that was just yeah amazing. Yeah. Yeah, Matt and
51:19
I you, Matt, You and I met online. We did. Now
51:22
we have so many friends that we have met online. I'm not going to
51:25
tell kids to just like, I don't know, meet your internet friends.
51:30
But kids listening to this show, we know you're listening to kids. Young
51:36
people listening to this showy met meet those other fellow young they make sure they
51:40
are real people. Yes, video chat, make sure they are who they
51:44
say they are. Yeah, but like video chat your internet friends, if
51:47
they're real people, Yeah, definitely. Because this it's so rewarding. All
51:52
right, So we move on to season two. Move on, moving on
51:53
to season two. Yep, So this is where we introduce the captain format.
52:00
I mean, we've never fully discussed this other than when we were making
52:02
the plans and everything. I prefer the captain formats and I do too,
52:07
Yeah, I think the whole team versus team thing. No one is an
52:10
island unto themselves. Everyone gets to lean on someone else's Yeah, it's nice.
52:15
And I think something that is, you know, we've we've loved everyone.
52:17
They're they're affable, they're really funny, and they all do their own
52:22
great jobs on their own respective podcast. Something that also is a great,
52:25
uh just compliment to our guests is putting yourselves in a position where you're meeting
52:31
these two people you've never fucking member playing a stupid ass. But also no
52:37
one has ever been like upset at the team, and they stand that it's
52:42
a game. It's listen, this is a stupid Yeah, stupid thing,
52:46
so stupid. I mean, Matt puts a bunch of work into it,
52:50
but ultimately it can be serious the same. Yeah, and the edict of
52:55
our name and the edict of our our podcasts. It's similar the game itself
53:00
and the people who are involved in it know that it's for the fun of
53:05
it. It's not for the wins. Yes, I know, I went
53:07
over a lot of stats about wins. Yeah, but um no, but
53:10
again that matters too. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of agreeable moments
53:14
between people, you know, putting ourselves in captain positions. Uh, you
53:19
gotta trust us sometimes and sometimes we trust other people. Definitely, and that's
53:22
huge. That's really cool. My favorite episode, I might have to say
53:27
from season two, and it's going to be a big one for a lot
53:29
of us, is gonna have to be I think Avatar. I thought it
53:32
was a very good episode, a good episode. I think just just not
53:36
only was it the subject, not only was it just us digging into a
53:39
fan which we don't do. We're pretty like, yeah, it's silly,
53:44
but there's good things about it. Could we say that every other episode apart
53:47
from that one, at least one of the three of us is a fan
53:51
of Yes, whereas Avatar or wants to be versus Predator. Yeah, I'd
53:55
say I was. I'm a biga okay, Alien versus Predator Yeah. Star
54:02
Star Trek towards the end might fall into that category. Yeah, but we
54:07
want to be Yeah, Yeah, that's that's one of the fandoms that is
54:10
like before I before the episode, I didn't know a ton about, But
54:16
after the episode, I'm like, God, I would love Star Trek.
54:19
Yeah, it was so interesting to research. If we're talking about favorite episode,
54:23
to like research, Star Trek has to be up there, definitely,
54:29
definitely, and Dune as well. Just to call back to season one,
54:32
just because I didn't know much about the deeper Laura at that point. Right,
54:35
Yeah, um, season two it's much harder. There's a lot of
54:42
episodes, and because there's so many more guests, there's the element of like
54:45
the fandom and then really enjoyable people that we worked with. Yeah, yeah,
54:50
you let me just rattle off a couple of recap maybe jog some of
54:52
your guys's minds. I've got him in my head, but yeah, I
54:55
want to say like seven of them. Yeah, one is your favorite.
55:00
One that's coming, um, coming to my mind is Supernatural? Yes,
55:05
yea, because that was a hell of a lot of fun. I had
55:07
watched through more than I thought I had when I was like looking at it
55:14
and being like, oh, what happened in season one? Oh? That
55:15
was that? And what happened I'm I'm sure I only watched until season six
55:19
O and then like just going through and being like, oh, yep,
55:28
the Seven Deadly Sins they got out, and like going through the Mark of
55:31
Kine like oh yeah, I got deep into Supernatural. Yeah, and just
55:38
brilliant guests as well, like and Drew and Mary of the Carrying Wayward podcasts
55:44
like just some of the best chemistry I felt with people, yes, deaf
55:47
almost period. Just honestly, if you could podcast with them, like,
55:54
would you be happy? I'm saying right off the bat, it's the it's
55:59
the love at first, you know, it's not the it's not the long
56:00
lasting relationship. Not saying that I wouldn't. All right, we're digging ourselves
56:04
in the holes here. Other notable ones Studio Ghibli, Wisiting Worlds with your
56:09
Meats, Uh. They were always fun for the for the chemistry I feel
56:15
in the when when when we recorded with Pete and Graham, especially that Wisiting
56:17
world one. Yeah, and even in the it's always a sunny one.
56:22
They're they're not afraid to really clap back at me. Yes, Yeah,
56:25
and I think that really works. Like I'd love once a year to half
56:30
them on. It's just like, yep, they're gonna you always know the
56:34
game's master is a threat. I love that for them too. It's really
56:39
something that pulls it out of me. Yeah. I would also agree that
56:42
for a similar reason, Shrek was a really good episode absolutely because it was
56:45
your sibling again Aiden, Yes, but then also their partner yes l Yes,
56:50
who just kind of naturally not only ribbed aiden, yes, but then
56:54
just kind of jumped in on everything like it was. It was really great,
56:57
definitely, and the I love my favor If we're talking favorite games,
57:01
my favorite game to watch everyone play is the fanfic improv game. Yeah.
57:07
Yes, great podcast, yeah, great game. Yeah. And I think
57:10
the Shrek one is my favorite one because it was two people who are really
57:15
good at improvising that you each your team right, and it was the good
57:19
this the fix ended up being silly and quick and it was nice it did.
57:22
That was the quick thick round um or the suck my fanfic round where
57:30
I felt the most comfortable, Like I was like, okay, I was
57:34
the least stressed because I love that round because it pushes me out of my
57:37
comfort zone. You would not know by the look of sheer terror in my
57:43
eyes and I search for a word that I know when we play that this
57:49
season, Yes, our patrons will have access to the video. Will you
57:55
do this thing too? When you when you get upset or when you need
57:59
to think for a bit, you you breathe away from the podcast. You
58:01
do this because I don't want to get it because up until they're being videos
58:12
on the Patreon. It's gonna it's just a purely audio medium. And if
58:15
I take the only indication of my terror, um like, don't let them
58:21
see that you're scared. The indication of my terror be that controlled breathe.
58:28
Ye. Yeah, now that's three is gonna be a goddamn nightmare. And
58:32
I'm gonna expose Yeah, the first round we play fearful, first round we
58:37
play of it. I'm gonna clip it and put it on YouTube. Gonna
58:42
be like I've heard of doing the gym the office from the office, What
58:45
the hell's she doing? A fucking Kermit Muppet situation for full seconds. Looping
58:58
back to favorite episodes from season because I did I guess I didn't actually say
59:00
mine. God, there's so many. I know, they're all so good.
59:07
They're all so good for different reasons. Forty total episodes, eight game
59:12
episodes. Genuinely, Thor was my favorite of the Marvel ones we've done.
59:15
That was a really fun Marvel one to do again The Bachelor, just because
59:20
of how deep we got into the law of a thing that I didn't even
59:22
think had that much law, but it turns out lots of law. Yeah.
59:27
Um oh, Alien and Predator. Yeah, that one was so good
59:30
as well. God, I can't view ask Universe James Cameron's Avatar Black Panther
59:38
star Trek Studio Ghibli to finish on, Yeah, Studio Ghiblie of mine too.
59:45
I'm gonna say my favorite episode from season two. If I have to
59:49
give one, you do, because you guys have, and then we can
59:52
look back on this at the end of all of Gatelys see what top episodes
59:57
were. I'm actually gonna I'm gonna go for one you guys didn't say,
1:00:00
okay, just to keep it, keep it different. I'm gonna go with
1:00:04
the succession episode. I'm gonna go with that one because, yeah, the
1:00:07
chemistry was fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna say the succession one.
1:00:10
I love a bit of succession. Yeah, you know, I'm just maybe
1:00:14
choosing the personal I really tried to watch it. I really too many terrible
1:00:17
people. Yeah that's fair, it's not interested enough, but that's fantastic.
1:00:23
Guys, guys, I've got one last st at for you. Oh yes,
1:00:27
please. It is a quantitative one, okay, with a little bit
1:00:30
of flair. I love it. I love it. I'm I'm picturing numbers,
1:00:37
but on fire. Yes, that's how it looks in the Google Dot
1:00:40
animated Listen. I worked really art onless. I got access to something called
1:00:46
a little tool Listen. Guys, we've had done two years of gately Peruse,
1:00:55
which is actually pretty crazy. It's pretty cool. It's two seasons,
1:00:59
forty episode odes, thirty eight of which were games. Over that time period,
1:01:05
we have had thirty seven guests. Oh fantastic, every single one friend
1:01:12
we've made along the way. Is that the seven like individual individual guests?
1:01:15
Yes, that is why. Yeah, we've had a couple of recurring ones.
1:01:19
Yeah, shout out. I think we've shouted out every single one of
1:01:22
them thus far in some ways. So I look, if we didn't,
1:01:25
I'm so sorry. We've never had a bad guest. We've loved playing back
1:01:29
with all of you. Yes, yeah, it's been a blast. Sorry
1:01:31
if we didn't mention yet personally absolutely that you were brilliant. Yeah, there's
1:01:35
a thirty seven of you. I can't go over all your stats and some
1:01:37
of them are boring and mean, but low points. Yeah, yeah,
1:01:45
exactly, but every single one of them was a fantastic time, a fantastic
1:01:50
episode, both in recording and being edited down but also the time that we
1:01:54
had, the games that we played, the laughs that we shared. Yeah,
1:01:58
big shout out to one games Master for putting all that work together.
1:02:01
All the time and commitment that takes into not only building the games, but
1:02:07
thinking about the format, games mastering and hosting and bringing us all together in
1:02:10
the first place, the scheduling, the timing to bring thirty seven new people
1:02:15
into our lives, each with their own projects, their own passions, their
1:02:20
own like annoyances, but also loves of all these things. All the research
1:02:25
that you do. You know, like if I if I had a stat
1:02:28
for how many hours you actually poured into this, that would definitely be highlighted.
1:02:31
It'd be sad. It'd be fantastic though, because like all of this
1:02:36
came from your hard work and the thirty seven new friends that we've made along
1:02:40
the way. Uh, just super fun stuff man like, and yeah,
1:02:46
it's a big part of my life. I don't advertise that as hard as
1:02:50
I could, because it's pretty niche. It's a little more niche Thania.
1:02:53
Like when I when we were back on Drinkipedia and they're like, oh,
1:02:57
yeah, it's frunk history, and then they listen to an episode and they're
1:02:59
like, that's pretty fucking crazy. Yeah, this one takes people time to
1:03:02
explain the history of British panel shows. It's the odd fandom that they like.
1:03:07
So yeah, who the fuck cares? Yeah? Yeah, oh thanks
1:03:10
man? That yeah, that that means a lot. You're gonna make me
1:03:14
cry. Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's really cool to compile
1:03:17
this because it's it's the culmination in numbers of all this stuff that we've done.
1:03:22
It's hard work, it's a lot of fucking fun, and it's it's
1:03:25
all been just good natured will throughout the entire fucking way, right, even
1:03:30
if we're just dicking on Avatar or or Twilight for no reason, you know,
1:03:35
I mean like, it's been freaking fun the entire way, and that's
1:03:38
god damn blass. So, and I appreciate you both as captains joining me
1:03:44
on this crazy ship. Yeah, I guess I'm a mad admiral with my
1:03:49
two cats. Yeah yeah, one of us a monkey, the other one's
1:03:57
apparent. So I was mentioning you as like first mate and steering the wheel.
1:04:01
If you want to be the animals, then that's fine. I'm probably
1:04:04
like me. He's got glasses I'm the crocodile be eventual, goddamn nightmare.
1:04:15
No this and you know what with with you reading that, I think my
1:04:17
my new favorite. No, I didn't read that, I've read we've had
1:04:20
thirty seven guests over those episodes. Oh sorry, that's what all friends.
1:04:25
No, I know you're speaking from the hob Yeah. Sorry, I didn't
1:04:28
mean that. You don't like me where you have to pre write your listeners.
1:04:30
That was all from the goddamn part. It was like nothing, there's
1:04:35
just numbers on that. There's nothing on the screen. It's unlike the whole
1:04:44
time with you reading the number before. My favorite number it's not sixteen,
1:04:49
even though that may be the number that follows us around for ever, our
1:04:53
angel number as a podcast. Yes, definitely. I think my favorite number
1:04:57
out of all of these stats is thirty seven. Yeah, thirty seven new
1:05:00
people. That is yeah, absolutely, because we've said it before in the
1:05:03
episode. But the point is less who's winning and more that everybody has a
1:05:09
good time, who's playing and listening. And I think that the one that
1:05:12
quantifies that the most, definitely, it's the thirty seven. So if you're
1:05:17
one of those thirty seven, bless you, thank you, we appreciate you.
1:05:21
I know I say that all the time, but I've really mean it,
1:05:24
but you say it so much because you mean it. Yeah, it's
1:05:28
we only had one mission goal for this. I know you should have more
1:05:30
if you're trying to start a business, but I never view things from a
1:05:33
business. But like, the one mission goal was like, can I create
1:05:39
ninety minutes of fun yeah, for relative strangers in a space and then create
1:05:44
community out of that? And it seems to have happened, be happening,
1:05:48
will continue to happen past, present, future. Gately Pers twenty twenty three,
1:05:53
Season three, Let's Go, You're all gonna die
