  Speaker 1: That's lovely. Yeah, you know this about me? I thought
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I was a tea guy. I just drink one tea
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: jasmine all my life forever. Yeah, this is a good tea.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: This is great, a good tea.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I've got some solid tea taste. It's taste tea if

• 0:22
  Speaker 3: stat on, Jason, So I feel like it's okay to
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: mention it now. I have enjoyed how like this year,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I've not really I've not had any alcohol during recordings.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Famously had wheed, yes in that one. But I think
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the one time I did have a drink during a
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: recording this year, semi recently a few months ago or something,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I don't like how I was
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: in that episode. What I've been enjoying these weekend afternoon
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: recordings that have tea with them.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, do you like who you are on tea? I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: like who I am on tea? Yeah, this is your
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: brain on tea. Teas and tea were not just all
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: do Stoster home.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for making that clear.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Jo, which is a bunch of gossiping bitches.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that everyone.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I think everyone listening to this would be like, mmm, yes,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they're doing gender affirming care.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Your jacked as hell man, you've been I mean a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: little aggressive towards me, but fucking boff.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Thanks. Yeah, Unbelievably, my gool has grown inside you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four is your villain era twenty twenty five
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is are just swollen gaily which just gets fucking huge.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, you joke. Oulder has already decided what her twenty
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: twenty five here is? Woh what is that? Joana date
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: little tease a huge villainyro on stat leap as last.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Year, So unless I changed it on a whim, I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: think it's ungovernable.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, whole governable era.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think the next step of my healing journey that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I've learned, I've learned through so many different things. The
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: next phase is being a silly goose. Oh, but mixing
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that with the lessons I learned an ungovernable in villain
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: era makes what I see as my like untitled goose
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: game ungovernable. Yeah era, where it is just being a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: silly little goose. But also there's there's some villain chaos
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: happening in a really fun way that I'm really excited
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: about and that I'm so sorry in.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Advance, I'm stoked for that because both in an untitled
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Goose game and in your ungovernable era, British people will
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be terrorized and.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, oh my gosh, on a jacket, I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: putting on a jacket. I don't even do this for
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: work professional ohnazzy.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Oh this jacket I bought when I was about forty pounds,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so it's a little bigger.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But the fact that it is that a bit oversized
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: makes it look like it's a bit silly. Yes, which
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: is even better because.
• 2:59

• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I've had the most fun doing what we've been doing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I've had the most laughs. I think we've made some
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: of our best games, and with like the introduction of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: video and some video clips and stuff, we've we've saved
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: some pretty pretty cool moments in the old memory banks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, joy.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of interest to a lot of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: things that we're going to get into. Oh, it was
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: really really exciting to wrap it up by re listening
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to this year's episodes, collecting the stats, of course, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: also just all the memories. Every stat leapers I do,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I often go, oh my god, we did that. It
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just feels like a part of us. But each season
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we introduce something new, generally speaking, and we get better,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: which is even better.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a type of thing where I feel like
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: we have like the same amount of stress as the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: first season, where we're like, what's even going on? We
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have that same amount of stress, but we just keep
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: doing more and more and more cool things. Yeah, more bits,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: more laughs, video clips, there's an Instagram now it's.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And with more laughs means more stats.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's always what that means.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: That's hell yeah, definitely paired.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I've been a busy busy bee with another season down.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I've been crunching the numbers away, compiling my Excel spreadsheet,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: trying to tighten it up, make it more visually appealing.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Oh good.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and no one looks at that list except for me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But are we ready for some interesting facts, coincidences, stories, yes,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: all in everything above all of hell yeah, feed me.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm hungry for your stats of knowledge. I'm here to feed,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I'm here to gogitate goodness. Yes, my baby bird very much.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like a lot of different elements. There's a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: few different elements that give me pause.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and regurgitate some stats here. So,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: uh four, season four of Gateleepers. I'm gonna start off
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: with the very beginning of this season here, uh, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: inaugural match up this year with our second guest host.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And again this feels like so long ago, but that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: second guest host is no than our co captain Audre
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Stevens said, Yes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: It's so long ago that I was like, who was
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the other guests?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I saw on your face you guest hosted specifically on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you were the games master for the Lost episode with
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: which starred myself obviously Matt as the player. Okay, it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: starring us. Yeah, we're starring Yeah, Matt in the in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the in the player's chair. Also we had Drew, our
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: good cast mate, Yes, and Dane as well. He did
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: yeah highlight rookie who uh turned out to be? Is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that the sports caster in Yeah? It turned out to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be a massive Lost fan, which was fantastic to wond
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and connect over all of the Lost key career that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we shared growing. Yeah, and I was lost figuratively. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: during that, which was great, But how was that hosting?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: How is that being in that chair?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I think the hosting part was less stressful than the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: writing of everything, so absolutely mad props to Matt Yeah
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: for the writing and hosting of all of these episodes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's the true purpose of this is just
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: so that everybody can know, God, this is hard.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: You guys make it fun when you get I think
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: that's the other part of it is that it's God,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: it's hard, but through stumbling, isn't this entertaining? Yes, to
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: watch this structure, it's a very structured show, which I
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: really enjoy, But to watch that structure fall a little
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: bit while still retaining the fun, I think it's like
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: the best part about these guests hosted episodes.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: There's like there's a lot of fun in a really
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: different way that we get to explore.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Of just all yeh. I like that it's everyone's interpretation
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: on the template. Yes, upcoming we have the Twin Peaks
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: episode with Drew guest hosting, so I'm curious to see
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: what Drew's interpretation is of the format, the same way
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: that yourself, Jason, and Uldra have done the same thing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I totally forgot just remembering the episode now
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in my head. Audre was really good at certain games.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: She it was the fan fiction you had. You were oh, yes,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the way you wrote the fan fiction game was a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: highlight for everyone on that episode.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: You think.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It was so incredibly fun to do. I read so
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: much fan fiction to find the clues and then just
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like a lot for me, I was like, okay, but
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this this is slaps. This slaps, yeah, slaps, this is slaps.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: This is slaps. I don't agree well with Tea. I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: think maybe oh it's like, yeah, oh, you're in your
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: ungovernment role. I era, come on, no, this is slaps.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'm making it happen. It was so fun to get
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: those like sections of the fan fiction, find out what's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the weird thing, what's the weirdest thing in this, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: then play in that space of the same type of
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: weird and I'm not gonna lie.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I was pretty solid at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: got filled by many of those.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was so cool, so cool. Well, well, I'm
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: really excited for Drew's upcoming episode and we'll see what
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: games he comes up with, how he spends it differently,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, twin Peaks.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very excited for that one.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, we get to feed Matt a little bit
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: once a year.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, once the year. It's something I enjoy, and.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Then we torture you by putting you in a player's tear.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yes, yes, yes, So it's never fun for me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's about Balan.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I think I think this. I think this
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: episode is going to highlight a lot of things that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Matt has done this season. One of the things is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we talked about this last stat Leepers, where we've kind
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of encroached on power creep or points creep, a little
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: bit of points inflation in the spectrum that happened. We
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: speculated because last season it was our third season and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we broke thirty. So we speculated, season four, do we
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: break forty? We absolutely did. Now let me say this here. Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So at the most points in gateleb history forty two.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That was in the PlayStation two episode Shawl. Yes, Aaron
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and Odra being the winning team there scoring those points.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I admit I wanted to see it. I kind of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: threw a little bit the quick Fire game. You debate
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that you can listen to that yourself.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Look when the when the priority is the is the comedy,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the fandom fun, that kind of thing. I think we
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: can sort of push a forty over the line now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Was it easy to push a thirty and a forty
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: of the line? And it seemed convincing and like this
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: is really happening organically. Yes, how do we do that
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: with fifty?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you just gotta you just gotta
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: get with that points inflation. Man, just start from points
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: for anything. Sure, thanks for coming along, two points, Thanks
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: for showing up to the call.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It's like that was a really good singer. Uh two
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: points two points really got me fight. No, we don't
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: need to laugh more on the podcast. We already have
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I was about to say I could start rewarding people
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: for making jokes, but everyone always makes loads of jokes already. Yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: such a fun time.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Gosh, there are episodes where I'll look in the mirror
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: afterwards and there's like an indentation on my cheek because
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I was smiling so hard and laughing so hard that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: my cheeks were just pushed into my glasses. Oh oh yeah,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think we need to be rewarding people for
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: jokes anyway.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: And I can reward them for laughs. Hey, that was
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: a good laugh. Two points. That was a great laugh.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Three points, Oh my gosh, they eat it's so whatever
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: he said.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So that was that was breaking the points there, hopefully
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: fifteen the next points. We had some first as well
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this season, actually a lot of first a lot of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: first Okay, first. One ones I want to go over
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is we had our first music themed episodes. We talked
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: about that for a long time. We had both Taylor
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Swift monumental episode.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely the most popular fandom of this decade.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, I would argue one of our most popular episodes.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's like numbers wise, probably should
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: have luck showed up a little bit. Yeah yeah. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: then nineties themed music as well, like the music of the.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Nineties, yeah decade. Yeah yeah, yeah, So you know, I'd
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: like to in the future do naughties maybe eighties. We've
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: done a lot of aes recently though, we've done a
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: lot of things. Okay, yeah, kind of kind of bored
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: a that no, I just hate. Yeah, it's syndrome, now
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I got you. Yeah yeah, But like naughtiest music, it's
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: pretty iconic, especially for people our age, so that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Could be a heck, yeah, and more artists maybe or
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: other things. K pop may be floating around.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: A pop is floating around. I think it's tough because
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: there aren't as many single artists that are as big
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: as Taylor Swift. In terms of broad fandom, I think
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: you've got like in the history of pop music, it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: probably like the Beatles Michael Jackson, but that's quite a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: tricky one.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, approach as a prison who isn't so into music,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Like as a fandom, I am interested by it because
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift episode had a lot of controversial takes.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I think the nineties episode had a lot of controversial takes,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and I think that feels like a really good episode
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and a really good discussion on fandom, Like you could
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: have a controversial take, but it's valid.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I think music is so practical because Okay, let's yeah,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: let's have one of Matt's cultural rents. Here we go. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: so that's the cultural rent segment coming up. Do a segment.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: So until like recent history, until like culture and marketing
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: became so embedded with each other, you won't have to
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: go back a couple decades and people didn't really view
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: TV shows films as part of their identity. It was
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: just a thing they enjoyed, a piece of entertainment. You say,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: same video games, et cetera, et cetera. Whereas music has
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: always felt personal and like part of people's identity, because
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: even going back to like, well, everyone who's alive today
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: listening to this, you could still plug headphones into a
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: record player and it was still this intimate, personal thing
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and you felt like it became part of you and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: your identity. Therefore, people in music spaces, music fandoms such
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: as Taylor Swift, such as fans of specific nineties music,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: they are much more practiced at hearing completely different takes
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: on what that means, and so they're much more ready
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: to be like, oh, yeah, I don't agree with that,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: but hell yeah for enjoying the thing you enjoyed.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're still on the same page as this is good, and.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: So we don't get that so much from like, I mean,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: you obviously get it from healthy fans, but you see
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: it from toxic fans with things like Star Wars, et cetera,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: et cetera. I could have mentioned more things there, but
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I think it's funny Star Wars, Marvel, Yeah, I know, yeah,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I know, But like people have been told, no, this
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: is who you are. You are a Star Wars fan,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: you are a Marvel fan because of your sunk cost,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: because of whatever it is, we are your identity now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: And while that can be a hugely positive thing when
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: handled correctly and used through the power of positive fandom,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it's often an incredibly negative thing when you hear a
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: conflicting opinion on how someone interprets Star Wars or how
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: someone interprets Marvel. Yeah, all of the things Jason likes.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So people can get up in arms a little bit easier, yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: yeah than with music. Yeah yeah, So yeah, I really
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: enjoy that. I think you're right on the money there,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and I think that just means it really opens up
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: more in different episodes of gate Leapers. I like this
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: because we have this trend of themed episodes this year
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: as well. We did our first like the console themed
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: episodes is what I'm going to brand them as. Yes,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: we had both PC gaming hu year and PlayStation two,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: so we're kind of narrowing those in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it felt like a good way to be able
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: to cover a lot of the beloved games that people
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: have that fall into these various eras and consoles without
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: just being like all right, and now it's the Ratchet
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: and Clink episode where it's quite big enough to be
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: its own thing. Yeah, but you can kind of throw
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: everything together into this one space that often. I mean
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: we found it with the PS two episode. It is
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: it's a point in culture. It's like a point in
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: time that people are either nostalgic for or have fond
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: memories of. That is like, oh, that was an era.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: These are the games that were iconic of this era.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Therefore it fits into a quie quite nicely.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think with things like video games, you
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: can't just go that broad yeah, and so narrowing it down,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you do get like that time, that point in time,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and it was like different iconic things for different consols,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So you get to touch on all of the things
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that get to evolve over time. Oh, you have this
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: game for PS two, but they had the next one
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: for PS three, so yeah, cool options.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in a similar way
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: of music have touched video games some way, shape or
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: form in their life, right, even if it's like, oh yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I spent ten minutes playing Marvel Lego Superheroes one time
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and just dicking around in the city. But now i've
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a touchdowne into video games. Rodrey, you're a gamer, gurly Y,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you've and that took you a while. That's a your
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: journey to get into. So I really like your reference
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in touchdoones into those eras as well? I find that
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: really daring and awesome. Also, I really love that match
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just soft denied Sly Cooper as a as an episode
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: now because we covered it and I get it. Look,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I understand if it's a franchise, we don't have to.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I loved it and no one else. If it's a
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: big franchise. Why I wasn't in the top one hundred
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: ps two I think so it wasn't sold more than
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: a million copies.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Oh that's right, true, Yeah, no one played it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So it's the masses that are wrong, s either of you.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: It's just the masses. And look, gang, if this stays
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: as fun as I think it will be for for
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: as long as possible, things are going to happen, such
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: as gate leap as season nineteen where we need to
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: fall on things we need.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: To all right now, it's like this time. Oh thanks, Matt,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a real nice, not now, but maybe later.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Dragging you away from your young family. Come talk about people.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: We're gonna do quiz about Sli Coop. What do you mean, man,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I have a mortgage. I can't talk. I can't talk
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: about the raccoon anymore. Hey, by season nineteen, we'll be
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: able to pay twenty bucks for our appearance. I'm not
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: worth it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could five Sly Cooper five. It only took
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: thirty years. Awesome. Honestly, those those episodes are fantastic and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that really spells the future for Gate Leaders. But I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: think this season maybe the biggest new type of episode
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that we had was this introduction of the cast interview,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: because season three is when we introduced the idea of
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the cast, which was monumental. It worked out really well.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And then I mean, as we've evolved, our cast has evolved,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: they've just really stepped up to the plate this year.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like, and I think long timeless steners just
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: got to absorb that more. With the cast interview, Do
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you guys want to talk about how that came to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: be and how that was I.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Have yeah, yeah, more just about like the gate leapers,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: like the cast or just the Gate leapers. I think
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it's something that was really cool the introduction of the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: cast in that these are people that we've met through podcasting,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: that we've really really liked and really enjoyed hanging out with,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and we're like, God, how do we get them on
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: more episodes? And so it's a really cool way to
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: be like do you want to be in the cast
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and kind of like it feels like the playground thing
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: of like do you want to be my friend? Do
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you want to hang out more?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Do you want to answer these deep questions about your
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: childhood podcasting?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And so it's these people that we've met and bonded
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and really enjoyed, and so we get to share some
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: of that in the evolution of having the interviews of
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: everyone gets to meet our friends.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Adorable. Yeah, it's adorable. It's it's been so good. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: love and appreciate everyone on the cast and the amount
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: of work they've put in this year. Just I can
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: shoot a message be like hey, do you want to
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: do this episode in a few weeks time, and they're like, hell, yeah,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: let's do it. Let's make it happen, And just that
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: that willingness to come together and play in the space
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and create something is just that's just magical to me,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: and it's I'll be forever thankful for every appearance that
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: everyone does. The the way the cast interviews came about,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: that was actually Jen's idea. Yeah, cast member Jen, it
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: was I think it was our New Year's party last year.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: We were both tipsy and Jen was like, I'm going
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to pitch you an idea now, and I was like,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I'm tipsy, but okay, let's go. Ah And yeah, it
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: was just an absolute green light thumbs up yes from
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the get go because Jen expressed, Hey, yourself and Audra
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: and Jason have podcasted together as a trio, so people
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: listening maybe know a bit more about you guys because
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: you've you've shared a bit more and stuff like that.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Can we share some stuff? Can we come up with
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: some kind of interview for that? So we put our
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: heads together and came up with the format that we did.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: We thought it'd be good to it's a fandom podcast.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: We thought it'd be good to ask about people's lives
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: through fandom. Yeah, I think it worked out pretty nicely.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I loved those chats. I loved finding out more about
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: people I wouldn't have known about Ben's pez Obsession.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Oh series, which is the story how he it's not
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: how he met his wife, but how they interacted.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: In my head, it is.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just so many insightful things. And then the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: really big thing, which I'm really glad you did, was
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: it was a big debate all year whether you do one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm really glad you did one because just in the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: same way that I was like, oh wow, you know
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I was. I didn't know that John was like so
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: into music or like how that came to be and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: so and so forth, for like, this is a really
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: nice memory that Chris shared about his family. Just these
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: small nuggets that I quite enjoyed, like creating almost a
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: parasocial relationship.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: It's social for me. For me, it's social for you.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I think I know Chris. I don't know.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I talked to him every now and then, but it's
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: nice to learn those tidbits about you. And I'm really
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: glad that you got out of your comfort zone to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: do the interview as well, which rounds off to a
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: total of ten episodes. I believe we have cast interviews
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: with more coming next year. Yeah, as we introduced, Caroline
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is now a cast member as well. Caroline Ruela. Yes,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: featured on great episodes Bucky No, Buffy sorry yeah, yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: by a vampire Slayer buy Parts episode.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Buffy and Taylor Swift Drew Yeah, yeah, so yeah, some big.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Hitterscy Drew, Taylor Swift. Yeah, that's the same.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Right, No, Caroline has been amazing on episodes that she's
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: a and yeah, looking forward to them on episodes in
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Oh yeah, that's part of our little gang.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to the gate Leaper's crew. Looking forward to it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, the Tailor Swift episode and Caroline, we
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: had another yet first we had two episodes that featured
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: an all female player cast, which was a w Yes, yes,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the second episode, talk about that. Yeah, we should talk
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: We technically had our first like proper duplicate this year. Yeah.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: In terms of like we've done sequels that were intentional
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: sequelshere like D and D two. Well, well, so we've
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: done we attempted a second Star Wars one.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We attempted Harry seconds, Harry Potter and Harry Potter been
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: visiting the world.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Lord of the Rings in the Middle. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: we've all the Hobbit or something. Yeah, we've done some
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: quite intentional ones. Yes, a w so I've discovered a
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: pot cast in Tunnel Talk. Who were the guests on
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: that episode? And it's just the way I love to
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: talk about wrestling with my friends. But as a podcast,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and just broadly, not enough women podcast If you're male
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: presenting and listening to this, We're full. That's the rule.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Just more women should podcasts because they're better at it
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: than men. Anyway, it's just the reality of it. We
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: know how to speak in a space and soul, getting
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: to know tunnel Talk, and then them wanting to do
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: an episode. I was so caught up in the hype
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: of that that I forgot that. In the first year
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: we did an aw episode as our wrestling episode, which
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: is terrible to admit, But it's because there's these two
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: week production cycles that I'm on. If it wasn't for
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: stat Leapers, if it wasn't for now like saving some
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: of the videos and stuff, I keep the feeling memory, yes,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: but the actual memory of what we're doing just goes
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: completely out of my head.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Nor joy stays in your heart. Yes, the list goes
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: out of your mind, Oh for sure.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's only because of stat Leaper's that I knew that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: because I wasn't part of that production or that record.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I only listened to it, and I was really excited
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: about it, and the very like you're in the episode
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you go our very first time checking out aw And
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, I call there, I texted you and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, by the way, you know it's not
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: our first one, right, and he goes, yeah, it was,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and I was like, no, it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Wasn't Matt doing a little bit of controlling the narrative.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Reference Yeah, oh, but yeah it was. It's it's listen,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you're on a huge production schedule. We have a lot
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of things going on. It's an honest stake. I just
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: think it's really funny.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious to see what will be the next
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: one that yet remember.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Taylor Swift being the other one as well,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And I just think those are super electrifying episodes.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: They are awesome.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: The aw one, like the chemistry of the Tunnel Talk
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: cast is awesome. It's honestly one of my favorite episodes
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of the of the entire year. Yeah, just because I think, Yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that energy is it's it's like having three Jasons in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a room, which is which is?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It was so fun, like emailing them like out of
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the balloon, being like, hey, do you want to be
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: on our fundsle game show podcast? And they're like, we
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: don't actually know a lot of facts. And then they
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: before the record they listened to an episode and they're.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, we'll be fine.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, they knew exactly what they were doing
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: asking us to be.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Honest, I'm so curious what episode they listened to and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, we got this, it's all right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Oh they just want us to be silly little guys.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: That's great. Okay, yeah, that's so good.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: The the other thing to point out of that is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I point that out as almost if it's like, oh, yeah,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: are we all so inclusive? No, we just never had
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: an all male cast player cast as well. Yeah, because
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: aures always there.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That being said, you are a bro, so maybe maybe
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: we have You're welcome. I was thank you, No, it
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: is a thank you, you're one of the bros.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I feel like there were a couple of episodes where
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Ultra browed it up and hell and it would have
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: felt like an old male casts, all male lineup. Hell
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: yeah for some of those. I mean, we could do
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: our first if it just feels right, and it's the
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: right guests, the right lineup for it. We could absolutely
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until we get into our Joe Rogan era.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Man, maybe it's the Joe Rogan episode of Baby. We
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: all have stogies.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: We asked Audre to be on the laptop and check
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: facts for us so we can just quickly google yah
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: on our own, go check that out for me. Just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: just real fact check, real quick. But yeah, that's that's odd.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: But just another cool fact there I gotta put out there. Yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and now the biggest first of the year, I think, yeah,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I'll say okay, because it's gonna get bigger and it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: gonna get more frequent. In season five, our inaugural live episodes.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Live we did a live stream Baby.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: We did a live stream. It happened on the fly.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: It was there, wasn't it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah? I love that. Yeah, it was a fun energy.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: It was a really fun record. I felt like everyone
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: was a little bit. I think I noted this during
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: the episode, but I was like, oh, it's interesting how
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: once we're live and we hit that live button, everyone
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: matches my energy. So I'm not the only one in
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: this mode.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's the idea of being watched. Sure,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I guess, like we're in this room, I suppose. But
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and then there's some there's definitely some recordings where things
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: have happened in life, I'm knackered or whatever the case
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: might be. The energy just isn't there. But being observed
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and knowing that there's an audience to perform to live.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I guess you guys have had more practice with that
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: this year, doing your improv and your your comedy shows
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but it definitely brings a different energy. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: also like the live feedback. That was something that was
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: really that was great.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: That was so funeh. The chat responding so that I
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: didn't really have to decide to the questions and stuff.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: It was just whoever gave the best, the funniest response. Yeah,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the chat shouted it out. That's nice. The burden of
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: choice was lifted. Yeah, that's so fun. No, I definitely
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: want to do another heap. I kind of want to
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: do like a three live streamed ones next year, kind
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: of just like Quarterly Westerly. But the pregnancy of live
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: shows I guess it was because in my head I
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: also want to do to live at the theater shows
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: next year with a live audience and recording from a
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: from a live space where oh my god, that audience
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: feedback is in the form of laughter. Yeah, I'm been
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: clicking and clacking of keys.

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: No, that'll be very interesting. I I just am so
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: stoked by that because it's it just proves the structure,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I think, more more so than anything else, that it
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: is something that is enjoyable to others. I think that's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a self conscious thing for me. I'm like to other
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: people like.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: This, like I'm having a really good time. Is everybody

• 32:03
  Speaker 3: we don't normally have the sports boys.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: No, maybe I should do it more often be the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: sportscaster on this podcast. You would have to start watching sports.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I can't do that. Okay, Okay, that's too
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: much to ask.

• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's all right sports.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I'm realizing lear I know more about sports than I thought.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well I don't know. I I used to
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: be a basketball fan. Uh, and I like a basketball
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: but ultimately I don't care what's happening. So people are
• 32:54

• 33:05
  Speaker 2: If I was going to do anything, it would be
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: the w n B. A. If I was going to
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: get into anything, oh absolutely, haven't just know, Yeah, that's
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: what I would get into.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: The stretch of gay leapers is by the time we
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: get to Sly Cooper Audre wo also gotten into the WNB.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, the.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: W in w NBA does stand for warhammer.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. All right, So we had first which is
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: always good. But if we look at Jumbo trond here,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: we've got the recurring bit, which I only knew because
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I looked at last year's script. The recurring bit is
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that Gaatelebers fans well know, every season we have a
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: tie per season, It's true, crazy coincidence. For seasons one, two,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and three, we had to tie each literally every season
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: we went into it, we went this has never happened Forore,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: We've never had a tie. So I looked at the stats.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you the memory. But the crazier thing is
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: that each of those ties ended in sixteen, which was
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: just serendipitous. It was crazy crazy. You can't make that up.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Sports fans cometsis listen, know this is gateleapers. This is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the game of gateleapers. Now that being said, have we
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: done it again in season four? Could we have shoehorn
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that in? No, absolutely no, we didn't do it. Didn't
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: get to sixteen? How are we got three ties? I said,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I definitely remember ties from this. Yeah, ties happened, but
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like three ties this season is insane? Notable ones are
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: we had in Horror Slash Horror eighties horror? It was eighteen.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: We got close to the sixteen. I see a piece yep,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: at the very last second. In Reality TV? Oh wait,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Reality TV was another all female cast. I forgot that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that episode came out after it. It's a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: recent one. It's all the press hot, off the presses. Sorry,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I wrote the script prehand. Hey, Jason prepares three all
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: women casts?
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Awesome?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Three ties. That one was the ties, well, twenty five,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I remember that, twenty five And at the very end
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I left this. At the very end, we had Taylor
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Swift at twenty two, which is an important number I
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: out in tolls.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, swifty number. Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I remember there were ties on two rounds in that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, because there's one round where there's a tie
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: at thirteen, which swifties will know is relevant. It is
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Taylor's favorite number. Oh, I don't know if she still
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: does it. I am only a passing knowledge of Swift. Yes,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: but at least for a while she wrote it the
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: number thirteen on her hand before every show. Thirteen is
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a relevant number, and then twenty two. I don't know
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: about you, but I'm feeling really good about how that
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: episode came.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It was a fan fraid. I'm telling you that Taylor
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Swift episode. I think Taylor Swift and Sonic were the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: epitome of gateleepers this year, where Taylor Swift is a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: big favor for a lot of people. There was just
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a lot going on there. There's there's sentimental stories being told,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: stories of friendship and relationships and the bonding of all
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: that controversial opinions being flown, mutual respect. And then Sonic
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the polar opposite, opposite, just as fun for all those
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: right races, memes and nonsense.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, childhood drawings of Sonic film. Everything in the universe
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: is in order. Yes, yes, absolutely no.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: So I really love that we're somehow like still bringing
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: up this tradition of ties. I think I think ties
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: ironically epitomize stat leepers in the fact that the game
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't goddamn matter.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true. I do always like it when
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: it ends on a tie. However, because we've had three
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: this yet, should I start prepping a tie breaker?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you used to. You used to give people point
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: five points just to make sure it wasn't a time.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: That's true, And do you wanna do you want to
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: reintroduce that? Should we do a tiebreaker at the end,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: like you you do an extra game?
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I think just like one extra
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: question on the quick fire would decide it, right, it
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: would maybe, or Mad has to think of it on
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: the fly as well. I don't know.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Just tell me your favorite Taylor Swift song. I don't
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: give a shit it anymore.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: It's funny how we said like, oh, it doesn't like
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, But then now thinking about the ties,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: it's like there are missed opportunities for an extra little
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: narrative beat of going over the other just by a
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: narrow margin. I said that. I think that I think
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: that would have been good for the Horror one for
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Slasher m M. But I think the Taylor Swift one
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: was perfect ending on that number. Yeah, the tie and
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: the reality one the way that ended with just everyone
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: turning on me, and it was perfect because it was
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: a tie. Yeah, you're just gonna have to call it. Yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I think so. Do you know, if it's the right
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: group of people, I'll just make up a type break.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I love that. Don't even pay, make a game, just
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: be like I liked you better, you win.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I might do that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: That'd be really funner. That'd really fuck up stat leapers.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: People get so mad, And I love that honestly because
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the results. I just I'm the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: numbers guy. Pure numbers.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pure numbers. You're the spots cast, You're the stats man, yeah,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: cold calculated. Speaking of numbers, we haven't talked many numbers. Well,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: get to that. It's time because numbers at me.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, you want digits, Oh I got, I got percentages
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: for you. That being said, I wanted to I wanted
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: to do a little bit differently.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: This year.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do player highlights because we have the cast.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through every goddamn stat out there.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: If you are interested, on the Patreon we have the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: link to the stat sheet. Yes, I update that live,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: so give me grace each year. It will be finalized.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: By the time this episode goes live, you'll be ready
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: to look at it. I'll include in the sho Yeah absolutely,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: that too. Yeah absolutely.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Now I will do the highlights in a different way
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: because we've done the cast interviews, because we have had
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the cast for a while now, I'd like to do
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: a little concept here where we're gonna play a games. Yeah, exactly, yes, absolutely.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Last year we introduced the concept of the gate Leapers
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Cast by expanding our starting line outside of myself and Audre.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I think we've really allowed some new voices and skill
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: sets to come through. And while it's been a wonderful year,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I want to know how well our head coaches Matt Ager,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: really know their teammates and players.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I've asked the cast to submit their top three favorite
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: episodes of this year, which I've also placed on cards.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: You'll be trying your best to line up the list
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to the player and you can go ahead and commentate
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: all you want about who you think. It'll be nice
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and as we get the correct answers, I will be
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: reviewing stats and numbers.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Oh great, so as a game, and then at the
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: end of the game, we get numbers and stats and figures.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: This is almost the perfect scenario of loving interesting lives.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Oh god, all my cards fell. I was like, where
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: are my This is the part of the sports broadcast
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: you don't see off sides whatever, red guard. All right,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: so we've got feel free to spread these out. Oh sure, yeah, yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: This is the names of everyone. Oh yeah, we've got Ben,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: We've got Drew, we've got Chris, we've got Aaron, we've
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: got Caroline, we've got Jen, and we've got John. Yeah.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: And here are ze lists, the lists of everyone's top
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: three favorite episodes. Now this is interesting because, like I
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: do wonder if some people are gonna be like, it's
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: all the episodes.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I was up, yeah no, that was literally concerned. In
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the discord chat, they were like what if I just
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: did that? Loll and I was like, do it because
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: it might get really hard if not. That's totally okay.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so we are We are going to start
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: with a list that says my hero Academia number one,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: very good episode, Yeah, Taylor Swift number two, and Muppets
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: number three. I feel like this one's a bit obvious.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, did you have a got instinct? Toldre I was.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Going to say maybe Aaron or Chris, but I suddenly
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: question everything.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Aaron and Chris were both on them up as episode.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, and Jen was on the Taylor Swift episode, so
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: that's a Chris. But also I do think that would
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: still be open for Aaron to enjoy Taylor Swift, enjoy
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the Taylor Swift episode.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: So I think the tiebreaker here is who's into my
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: hero Academia. That's gonna be Chris, right, who's a goddamn wee.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: But I was gonna say or Drew. I think my
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: good was Chris for the time as well. So we'll
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: go first.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Well, say, Chris, you're absolutely correct, that is Chris. Sorry, Chris,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: you're my wee brother in christ. But some stats about
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Chris here, as you explained that Chris last year at
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty points increased to two hundred and one,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: increase of sixty points between three dances Chris, he also
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: increases points per average to eighteen point twenty seven. Nice.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Oh increase.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the important one because you never know, like
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: how many episodes you might be on during the year.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: We try, we try to make it reasonable. But that
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: was points per episode. Good on you, Chris.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, great on you, Chris. I think Chris
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: was the person who was on the most gate Leapers
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: episode outside of US two. That has since changed, so
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: maybe Chris has just got to be on more. I
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe maybe, But good showing there, Chris.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Your win percentage did drop by one percent, only.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Only by one percent? Yeah, that seems How is that
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: possible when only so few games are player.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's basically averaging out basically the same novel. Yeah,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: but like it's slightly lower, so we're not gonna count
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that against your bud.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Your win percent is down by one percent, but your
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: fun percent is up by like three.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Putting that into the stats here front, that was gonna
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: be a huge number. Percentage up three percent from five.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: I've been taken stand up classes. Heck, yeah, what's your
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: next list over there? Next list at number one? Taylor
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Swift and Weld probably go ahead and say that's probably
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: the best episode of the year.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Just spoiler, Taylor Swift shows up in the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: top three. It was a fantastic episode. Fantastic episode.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Number two. Scott Pilgrim, Yeah, yeah, this was a surprise
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: to me, and number three Percy Jackson. Yeah, Percy Jackson
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: slash Greek mythology. We got some mythology in with that one. Yes. Interesting.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Now the more interesting thing is I actually have to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: check this list because that list is extremely similar to another.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: One in the group.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, two people had some very similar taste.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: This feels Aaron or Drew to me.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: I can see that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: What are your initial instincts though.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I think Drew definitely was was an instincts there. It's
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: tough though, because I think also like Aaron and Caroline
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: will be very familiar with Scott Pilgrim and Percy Jackson.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, or at least Greek mythology.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be beneficial to see all the list
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: at once, because maybe when you see all the lists,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you get a better idea of Like I.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Say, we could we could look for some like real
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: if we think any of jumping out as like obvious,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: it can only be this person. Yeah, okay, oh.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Taylor Swift is everywhere, is everywhere and on these lists.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's only two lists here that don't have
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, I think it it's personal top three wasn't
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: in there, but it's pretty freaking eye.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I think it was between Taylor Swift and aw for me,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: hm hm, that's great.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Yeh see that is so cool because neither of those
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: are your fandom fandoms.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a goddamn good episode.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: This one, this one here, the one that goes Sonic
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: number one, Taylor Swift, number two, PlayStation two number three.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: That that one is screaming Drew to me. M.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I think I would think the same thing as you,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not true.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: It's Aaron. This one's Aaron. Ok.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty I mean pretty good though, right, Yeah, I
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: found it pretty Yeah.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Aaron. Good jot out for the Sonic episode
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: there as well, because that was that was a really
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: fun episode.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, Aaron, I didn't get a stats from last year,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: so I'll just shout out your stats here. Aaron fairly
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: new cast member, I think introduced in season three. His
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: stats are through the goddamn roof. He's got two and
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: twenty seven point five points only nine appearances.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: And he's a I think this is a testament to
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: like him being the game show host, like the game
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: master on BFTW. God he knows how to game.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: He knows how a game, he knows it. Right now,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: this is an interesting one, and I'll kind of shut
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: this out now, but his win percentage is the current
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: highest of people who have more than like, say, four
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: or five games under their belt. Yeah, that's seventy seven
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: point seventy eight percent. Okayang, He's technically not the gate
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Leabers champion. Shen still is the gate Lybriers Champion because
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the one episode she did lose we never aired, which
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: was Star Wars two.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Yes suspicious, Yeah okay.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: And I think her win percentage is only dropped because
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: she's had like two ties this season, so ties do
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: not count his losses. I would say she still retains
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the bell. If that's how we're going to do it,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Look as far as for the end of twenty twenty four,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: I think we've got to say, yeah, yeah, she does.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, still the champion, Aaron, You have the highest win
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: percentage just out.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: There, so a reason for a vendetta.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I The other weird thing about the champion is because
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: it's a two v two situation. Like if Jen ever
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: does lose the champion ship belt or whatever, does he
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: go to two people, like how does that? And then
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: what if the like one goes off and loses it?
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: But like, how does that work?
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: So I think it should always be Oh, this is
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: tough for when we have like two cast members on
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: the same team and stuff, but I think it would
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: always default to whoever was playing the captain role of that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: That's cool. Maybe, yeah, this is why.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Or we reform at it and drop it. I don't know.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think I think our champion should
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: just be the person who technically had the highest win
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: percentage in the I.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Think our champion should be too technically had the most fun.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: How's that fun percentage? Yeah? Chris? Is that five percent?
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: That's all?
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I got only one who reported it, and I think
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: it was three.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Alright, let's look at some more lists. Yeah, but yes, yeah,
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: should we let's tackle one of the ones without Taylor
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Swift on it.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm really liking Hitchhiker's Guide for twenty Adventure Time.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Uh huh, that's an interesting one.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I'm really loving this one because this one I probably
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: would have put as Aaron Yeah, because of the presence
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: of two of his bfyt W co hosts. So that's
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: a toughie.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: So it's an interesting one. So I think that list
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: says a little bit stoner vibes, right, they like the
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: four to twenty, they like the Adventure Time. Uh, just
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: sad it for a good time.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: I instinct here.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I know I've said said Drew for every single one.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: This one does feel Drew to me. Do you Drew
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: was on Adventure Time?
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Do you concur map? Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: it is true. It is true. It is true. Yeah.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I just interesting that you guys swapped the Aaron and
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Drew lists essentially. Yeah, but yeah, Drew a longtime cast
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: member here, going to be my co host for press play.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, which is those recordings are going so well. I'm
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: loving the energy yeah from those I cannot wait for
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: that show to debut on this feed.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Coming to you twenty twenty five. Beef cheek bro of mine.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I think he has Yes, he now is in the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: position for most appearances on the show, behind you and me. Obviously,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: he has huge points here, three hundred and thirty eight
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: point five, like over two hundred from his last appearance.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Doubled this big numbers, doubled his appearance showings, He increases
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: win percentage from thirty three point thirty three percent a
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: third to thirty five point seven percent, So he's keeping
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: it steady big numbers here. Yeah, but he is consistently
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: one of the highest point scorers as well. Nice he
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: fucking kills it during the quick fire.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: He starts season three twenty two point eight. He's now
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: a twenty four point eighteen, so he's only increased it
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: from here.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: I with inflation maybe again thirty points a game.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: I love calling out the Adventure Time episode because that
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: was so much fun and I really, I really love
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the types of episodes where we get to like bring
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: in a friend.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, your friend.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was with Alex that I work with.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: She's so funny and I remember before, like the recording,
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: she's like, are you sure that you like want me
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: to be on an episode on Like, you're so funny,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: just come in, have fun, be yourself.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: It was such a fun episode. It was awesome.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Noll. Yeah, it was awesome because it was it was
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: like watching Audra season one and then Audra of now
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: coaching that person, you know, and it was really really cool.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: It was also the origin of beef Cheek Bros. It
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: was Yeah, beef cheek bro something you invented. It's not
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: even real. It was one of the fake convention time characters,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I think, and the Andrew just went, yeah, that's us,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: it's us.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: We're in this universe now, Yeah, heck cheeks. All right.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: We got a couple more lists here. Yeah, we've got
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: some more lists. We've got what about Futurama, Hitchhikers, Taylor Swift?
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: I was this at that one. I love the Taylor
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Swift appreciation here, but I think this is either Ben
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: or John.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I think this is either Ben or John as well.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: There's two lists with Futurama and Hitchhikers on it, and
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, both for Ben and John.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's determining who's who. The other one is Hitchhikers,
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Muppets Futurama. I think that one could be more Ben
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: because Ben is a Muppets fan hm and John is
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: like music. Uh huh. Oh, we've got them backwards, haven't No?
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: You got them exactly right. These coaches know their players.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: And we have Yes, we have peed Ben and John
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: together because they're best friends of twenty plus years.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, similar lists, you know it happens. So We're going
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: to do it again here, Ben, great performer stats wise
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: number Ben, Ben, you did increase your points by one
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: hundred points here. You went from one thirty three to
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: two thirty five, doubled your appearances. You did increase your
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: win percentage from fourteen point two nine percent to sixteen
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: point sixty seven percent.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: An increase.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Is it statistically relevant? I'm not gonna say.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: I guess that means like he added a bunch more,
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: but only one one.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: To be exact here, And I'm so sorry Ben Well
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: not make in front of you. Oh I love you
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: on the.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Show Treasure every freaking episode.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Honestly, he pops me, probably for the hardest laughs every
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: time we're on an episode together. But you have to
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: be right, uh, Matt, Because he only has two wins
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: three ties of his twelve appearances. Three ties though, three ties,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I love going to count that against him. Yeah, but
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: when I looked at the stats, I was like, two
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: wins from one.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: We love you, I love you, yeah, Yeah, it's Ben's
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: a good time. Yes, John's a good time. John's a
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: great time. Yeah. And I massively appreciate their natural chemistry.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: It's why I love having them on episodes together. Yeah,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: together's awesome.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: John started this season by saying, like, there was one
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: episode I forgot which one necessarily, but he was like, oh,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm nervous because I don't have my buddy Ben around.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Oh show.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: We've had him on a few episodes where he is solo.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: And he's been great.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: He's been great, and I love that growth, that character arc. Yeah,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: everyone's a character that character.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Arc of trusting us and feelings.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Safe these real people. Yes, yes, John, you do great.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: By the way, you have one hundred and seventy one
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: points and a sixty two point five when average twenty
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: one point three eight points average.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Just FYI, okay, yeah, that's good stats.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Good stats, good stats. And now we're down to our
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: last two lists, and.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: We've got a last two names in Jen and Caroline.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: We got yes, all of the blokes done. It's time
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: for the main event.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Also very similar. These are the similar lists I was
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: talking about here.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, we've got number one Taylor Swift, number two, Scott Pilgrim,
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: in number three Percy Jackson. And then we've got number
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: one Scott Pilgrim, number two, Taylor Swift, number three, D
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: and D two.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest too. That yeah, shout out to D
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: and D two there. I'll be honest, I would have
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: been stumped by this one for sure.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. This, I mean we've got Scott Pilgrim and Taylor
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Swift on both.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm if I'm going to go with my instincts.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Jen is one of our D and D friends. We
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: play D and D regularly, so I would lean towards
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: having her, probably say D and D two. But the
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: idea of Jen not putting Taylor Swift as the number one.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Mm, that's true is a toughye? Is That's a toughye?
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: I think way they've both Taylor Swift is the only
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: one that they appear on here, right that the others
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: ones that they weren't on.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: I never realized that. Yes, that is correct.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Women are better at podcasting. It's just a fact. It's
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: just how it goes. Yeah, should we say Jen has
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift at number one? Scott Pilgrim to Percy Jackson three,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: let's go for it either way.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Jason's gonna tell us, Yeah, that conversation pulling back the
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: curtain a little bit.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so your initial instinct was correct. The D
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: and D one is gen's okay, Yeah, Jen, Scott Pilgrim
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Nice. I was shocked by that.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I want to ask her, like if I didn't get
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a chance to ask her, like, is she just super
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: into Scott Pilgrim And that's just something I didn't know
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: about her? Or maybe it was just that episode was
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: really great, so fun. But the other thing that she noted,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: just a peek behind the curtain, was while Percy Jackson
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't on our top three, it was in our top four,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: so it was very very close. Okay, yeah, I think
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: just the fact that you guys played D and D
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: together interested above for her, which is nice.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: Which is nice, that's connection.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And stat wise, Jenn always does great here. She
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: increased her points by sixty seven and even two hundred here,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: only one less than her husband. That's not necessary for
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: me to shout out. I will shout it out.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: No, they need to know that. I like it.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: One day with each other. I think it's so funny.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: It is funny. She has one less appearance though, so
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: shot back.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: Why Chris, Yeah, yeah, that's christ You suck.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Seventy win percentage and even twenty points per game average.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, yeah, yeah, Caroline brand New here again,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: heavy hitter, and only three appearances, she's made sixty two points,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: sixty six points, sixty seven win percentage averaging twenty points
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: sixty seven points.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Oh lovely, that's it. That's a great introduction, that's a
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: great those, a great debut. Numbers.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Rookie year. We got some great stats coming off the blocks.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Rookie of the year. Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Sports words.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are sports words and we are sports fans.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah yeah. One last last points here. We
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: didn't have lists, but I do want to shout us
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: out because we are main players here. Matt, uh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: what Matt's favorite episodes? I do. We're going to get
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: into favorite episodes. But stat wise, so Audrey, you're banger
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: year for you. I think you were on every single episode. Yeah,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: you were on every single episode. Not a player on
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: the lost episode for obvious reasons. You increase your points
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: by a whopping five hundred US fifteen eighty one. You
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: have a win percentage of seventy eight Oh no, no, sorry,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: forty forty one point three.
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: You've been on seventy eight episodes for my back way
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: more reasonable? Yeah, you.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: We we talked, we were very close, like eighteen nineteen
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: points per average, but you also got some point inflation
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: here twenty point twenty seven. I'm looking worse for wear comparatively,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: so I'm at a thousand and one ninety six point five.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: I've got sixty three your parents's. My win percentage is
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: lower than yours thirty nine point sixty eight, and then
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: my points are way lower than yours eighteen point ninety
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: nine laughs this year though, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: Me and over here holding it down for the last
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: risk next to you all.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: But your your laugh percentages through the oh man, if
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: I was getting points for my laugh, my actual laugh,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: maybe through the rugs.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I'm a chuckling in the background every goddamn second.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely more points to you that way, Yeah, absolutely.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: But uh, any episodes do you guys want to shore?
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I know you we discussed a lot of episodes, but
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: any favorite episodes or your guys, is you want to
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: shout out here?
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: That's tough. We've talked about so many episodes. Yeah.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: I always love the episodes. Selfishly, I always love the
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: episodes that are more niche fandoms that happen to be
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: our favorites.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: I think Greek mythology. Percy Jackson as like a long
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: time mythology nerd, massive Greek mythology nerd. That was super
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: special to me.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: I love that one.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I got a text from my cousin about two months
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: ago randomly, and he was like, how dare you not
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: put me on the Percy Jackson episode? And I was
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: like huh and he was like, I love Percy Jackson
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, bitch, I didn't know you did
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: he I didn't.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Even know you knew who he was. And he's like,
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I read them all the time. I didn't know YouTube
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: were friends. Yeah, okay, I.

• 59:30
  Speaker 1: He'll be on Destiny next year.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: Charlie. Oh nice. Nice.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: And the four to twenty episode was so fun, just
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: specifically for the technical error of us all going through
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: our muses, getting three out of four muses down and
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: I realize we have not been recording the muses. It
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: was just like all of us laughing about that was
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: so yes, classic, Oh it was.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: It was a hoot. Yeah, Yeah, it was a hoot. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like your top three would have probably been
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: something like Percy Jackson four twenty, maybe like Taylor Swift
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: at the bottom or something like that.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, because Taylor Swift was so good.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: I think I think I made a list and mine
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: was like aw slash Taylor Swift number one, w Sonic
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: and then Pokemon Live just because I love Pokemon and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I love the Live aspected, it really was different and
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, looking at this list, I'm just so proud of
• 1:00:36

• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: just wrap up this year. Here, eighteen new fandoms, which
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: I think is just absolutely insane.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: Eighteen only four repeats. We kind of made that a
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: goal I think for they was to like, because I
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: think we did in yea three we did a few
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: good chunk of repeats.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe no, it was it was no. We were really
• 1:03:47

• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: we're really good at us. Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: One of the numbers on how good we are.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Divide by fun percentage.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: It's bad. Don't like it. Actually, I suppose that the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: numbers would be our listenership, and it's still just in
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: the hundreds.
• 1:04:09

  Speaker 1: say that your answer ships have allowed us to expand
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: both in equipment. Get the Crispas audio experience in your ears. Yeah,
• 1:05:07

  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Of course Banquet not sponsor other light years do exist.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: But also not only equipment, are we expanding, We're expanding
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: our show period. Do you guys want to talk about
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: that a little bit? What's coming up in twenty twenty five?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's do it because I believe that as
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: of this episode release, we are now going to be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: a weekly podcast going forward. Oh my god. Yeah, And
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: don't worry for those of you who are like, wow,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: can Matt do a game show every week? That would
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: be crazy. I'm not sure I could listen to that. Yeah,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be that. Look, we've built a
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: great team here at gate Leapers of great podcasters, people
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: who are fans of so many different things. Earlier in
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: the year, Drew pitch to the idea of a show
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: called press Play that we referenced earlier that looks at
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: the history of video games.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, video game movies specifically. Yeah, those film adaptations that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: we all know and love are all awesome, Yes, very
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: high quality movies.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: It's correct since the beginning. You know, they got it
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: perfect with the very first adaptation, absolutely nailed it. So yeah,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: Drew and Jason are going to be anchoring a show
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: every four weeks, roughly once a month, there will be
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: a new episode of press Play that is going through
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: the history of video game adaptations. And I think that's
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: a perfect gate Leapers thing because it smashes two forms together.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: That's like the fandom blending that we love, and it
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: goes through the history of pop culture from the early
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: nineties all the way through through to the present day. Yeah,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: I've been fortunate enough to hear some of the episode
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: recordings already. It's look, it's going to be the laughs
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: you expect, the fun facts you expect, just in a
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: different format. But it's going to feel very much like
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: a gate Leapers thing.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thank you so much for allowing us the
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: space to create that. I'm really really excited to collaborate
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: with my beef cheek bro and just really get into that.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: We're knocking out the kinks. It's it's very interesting to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: be part of a show where I don't have Matt
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: babysitting me. It's very scary and I need an adult.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: But that's thank you, thank you.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: See Chrazbier Jacket. Yeah, it's where.
• 1:07:21

• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Super Mario Bros.

  Speaker 1: Yes, but thankfully I do have an adult in the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: in the form of my partner there Drew. I'm very

• 1:07:35

• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: just wanted to shout out how good gate Leapers has been,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: and actually just wanted to shout out Matt came and
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: shift the mood.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: Every year.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: I take this opportunity on stat Leapers to applaud and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: celebrate you as not only the games master, but as producer, writer,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: game creator bringing people together. I mean, you took over
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: social media too, and that's like really crazy and hard,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: like truly with zero hyperbole an exaggeration. This show does
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: not exist without you, the friendships I've created, the joy
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: and laughter I feel as a listener, and honestly multiply
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: that by whoever else's voice this echoes in. These sentiments
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: are all possibly because of you, but more so this year,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: I've seen you and Audre really grow and develop yourselves,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: taking a leap and being part of the community by
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: taking improv and sketch classes. I've heard the improvement you
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: guys have had as both performers and podcasters, but also
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: just for you guys like Audre, you stated that this
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: year would be villain era, and I joke that a
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: lot of that would just be things that normal people do.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, setting healthy boundary.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: But honestly, what I've seen is like, not only your
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: showcasing your skills grow, but your confidence grow into your skills,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: and that's been really awesome. My favorite part about watching
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: your guys' showcases is watching everyone else laugh and like
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: realize how good you guys are the way that I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: know you guys are. Many of you know that last
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: year I started my own business venture and I've taken
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: time out of gate Leapers to pursue those dreams. Unfortunately,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: for reasons i'm not going to get into here, that
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. But throughout the entire year, without fail,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Gay Leapers has been there for me. Other things have
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: happened to me that have just been terrible this year,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: and whether it's a fun episode I can listen their
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: laugh to, or a game that I get to be
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: a part of and play, it's just like, lets me
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: forget the incredible amount of stress that I'm under. So
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm truly glad to be a part of this.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: Matt.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I've watched you grow as creator and performer this year,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm also seeing you become a leader and I'm truly,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: truly all inspired by that and I cannot wait to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: see that growth in the coming years. So, for all
