• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about the live show.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is our first bonus round since we did
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: the live show.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: That feels wild. It feels like it was a while ago.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: But it was only four weeks ago.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Ooh, it was only four weeks ago. It feels like
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a lifetime ago. And also just yesterday.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Time flies when you're having fun. It was genuinely such
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: a fun night. Yes, such a cool experience. I feel
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: like we've recorded so many of these episodes of Pandemonium
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and in the room we have a fucking blast. Oh yeah,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: always like the.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Energy of recording with the amazing people that we have
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: met has always been so much fun.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We told all the time about how every episode
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: is fun. It's just to what degree of like, oh
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: that was a great time. Oh that was a really
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: great time.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yes? And is it mostly fun because it's in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: podcast format, So it's fun for us in the moment,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and it would be fun if you're doing dishes and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: listening to it, or driving in the car and listening
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to it. But would it be fun as a live show?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: This was the test.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: This was the test answer. Yes, yes, conclusive. It was
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: fun for us, It was fun for our wonderful guests.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It was fun for people who'd listened to gateleap as before.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It was fun for people who'd never consumed any of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: our podcasts before success. I cannot think of another demographic
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that I want to have fun with this stay at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: home moms.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Only other No, I've she start appealing to the stay
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: at home moms.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: No, I feel like they're reflected in the other groups.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, yeah, a Mom Talk episode. Write it down,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the fandom of mom, I'll write it down. Oh, it
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: was such a great night that I don't think would
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have happened without all of the people involved. So I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: really want to say thank you to every one who
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: helped contribute over the years to leaders to this position.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: It feels it does feel like we're sucking someone's dick.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Well, how about ours? How about we suck everyone's dick
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and then and then it's not any one person being related.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say focused on, but you saw the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: f forming in my mouth.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I did. I did focused on? Yeah, yeah, I can
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: bring it out of a sexual metaphor. I'm capable of that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You're capable of that. At nine minutes past three on
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday afternoon, what have I become so up top?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you to the Peak and Prop Theater for hosting us. Yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say these live shows wouldn't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: have happened so fast, so soon if the Peak in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Prov Theater didn't exist and didn't exist around the corner
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: from us, right in our neighborhood. Yes, it's just been
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the perfect place for us at the perfect time, where
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: just at the point where we were like, how else
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: can we evolve this beyond a podcast? And I'd always
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: envisioned it as a live show, because I'd envisioned it
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: as like a live stream, and we'd experimented with that,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: but a lot of effort goes into that. Almost the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: same amount of effort went into the live stream as
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: prepping for the live show, and one of them has
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: much more tangible effects and interactions. I mean, I'm hoping
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we can live stream some of the live shows eventually,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: but that's an interesting production note that I'm now realizing
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: in real time. Yes, anyway, we were wondering which direction
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to take it in, and more live streams seem to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: be the answer. And then Improv Theater, a comedy theater
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: upened around the corner from us, and we were like, okay,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this is a place that we could probably perform that,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and then we quickly realized, oh, we need to learn
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: some skills, We need to acquire some improv skills, We
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: need to acquire some hosting skills in a live environment.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, because doing this behind a microphone in progressively less
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: weird parts of your house is it does not prepare
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you to be on a stage in front of a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of people.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: No.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Surprisingly, recording a podcast like behind our sofa because that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: where the sound was best, and then into a basement,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and then into an office at no point in that growth, which.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It is growth, well it's literally moving up through the house.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, at no point in time was a live audience
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: prepared for No. So it's been cool to be able
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to learn those skills and then be able to use them.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. At the moment that we felt ready and it
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: felt right, we booked the live show. We did the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: live show. It was a blast. So yeah, that wouldn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: have happened without the Peak Improv Theater. And thank you
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to Ethan Goldman, who has taught us a bunch of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: improv yes, and is one of the co owners at
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the Peacon prof Theata who kind of believed in the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: show we had and let.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Us book it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Let us book it, and he helped out with the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: tech as well on the night for the live show,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So that was great.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Huge thanks to him for not being on that first
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: panel on the show because we did need him as support.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We needed him as like, you are in control of
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the building. Everything is going fine.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're not gonna somehow burn down the building by
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: doing accidentally weird podcasting.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: That's what some of the anxiety dreams were about.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we him being there helped to soothe all
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of those worries.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, we were so soothed. And we'll have to get
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Ethan on a live panel now that we've tore off
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the band aid. Yes, I'd love to have Ethan up
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: there playing the games with us.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, now that we know that there's no portion of
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: our podcast that is flammable.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: There's still time we can still make this flammable.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The beacons are lit.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Speaking of co owners, at the Peak Improv the ITA,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we had one of them up on stage with us
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: in the form of Casey Dean phrase we did stand
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: up comedian improviser m just I mean if you are
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: on our Patreon and you've already seen the video or
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you were there for the live show. You know how
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: much energy Casey has. He added so much to our
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: live show. I think that without him gifting us with
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: all of the with all of his energy and with
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: an excellent amount of callbacks, yes, very comedy, brain on
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all the way through, just just fantastic stuff. Without that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been as good. He really enhanced our
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: live show.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, agreed. And I've taken Casey's classes improv one oh
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: one and stand up, and in those areas he's in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: very much so teacher mode of like, Okay, we're gonna
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: run these exercises, you're gonna get on stage, tell the jokes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: here's the feedback type of things. But just to get
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to see him enjoy being funny in the space and us. Oh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I almost spoiled if we won our last.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, the audio of the live show on
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the free feed that you may well be listening to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: this on right now. Next week we are dropping the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: audio from our debut live show, the thing that we're
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: talking about right now.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, so we either won or lost, but whatever happened,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it was so cool to be able to do it
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: alongside such a funny person who's taught me some comedy.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so thank you, Casey. And on the opposite team,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on the opposite side of things, someone who we knew
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: we wanted to book for our live show immediately because
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: she understands kind of all the panel show, comedy, light
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: entertainment format things. Julia Bosi.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, Julia is a fucking treasure. She is, and I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: think that is Yeah, that is how I want to start.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Julia is a treasure and also a different energy to Casey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but also the exact correct energy for this first show.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I liked that Julia got a little tipsy and that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: that was a part of jazz performance there. That was
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: because I've seen Julia perform very sensible, very cerebral, thoughtful
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: improv in the form of musical improv and the stick horses.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Keeping it family friendly for stick horses, and then the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like three syllable rhymes that it seems like Julia can
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: pull out of nowhere for two Titans, and just to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: have Julia Lucy goosey.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: It was a great vibe. I loved it so much.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, we had such a fun little back and forth rivalry,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: ultimately turning on Matt of course, as all the best
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and most fun episodes of Pandemonium, You're the villain, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I think that that held true.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's right there in the format at the top, I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: declare myself the villain and we go from there. To
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: be honest, the episodes, I don't end up being the villain.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They failed. It was so great having two members of
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the comedy community that we've been able to become a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: part of here in the Springs up there on stage
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: with us that I can't wait for future shows to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: perform with other members of the community and have a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: fun time, because yes, we are planning on doing more
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: live shows. That's happening. What news what? I just dropped
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a news bomb.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You picked this moment to tell.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Me yep, this is Look, it's only the super fans
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: who listened to Bonus Round.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: That's me. I'm a super fan.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: People listen to Pandemonium, people listen to Press Play, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: then only the real hardcore contingent go on that fourth
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Thursday and go, yes, I'm going to listen to all
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of their meta chat mm hmm to them just talking
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: shit about this podcast.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so much of a super fan that I make
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: this podcast.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's how big of a fan you are. So yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: we're planning on doing two more live shows this year,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: one in August that we will announce a date for
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: very soon, and another in November, and then, with any luck,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the plan is to run a monthly show from twenty
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: twenty six, but we'll put a pin in that for
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: now and we'll come back to that later. We're gonna
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: do another couple live shows this year.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We'll have updates as we know, dates etc. On the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: podcast as well, but you can go ahead and follow
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: us on Instagram at gateleepers Pod. We will have information
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: on live shows up there. And I know sometimes when
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you're like what date was that, it's a little bit
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: easier to open Instagram than to scroll through a podcast.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Oh for sure, And so go follow us gateleepers Pod
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: on Instagram.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, I imagine that'll be the place we'll break the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: news of the of the date, breaking news break. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: just broke the news, but you know, breaking the next news.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Oh god, a constant set of breaking news.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Wow, we need to clean up on asle news.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Get it out.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: But of course it wasn't just the four of us
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: up there on stage. We also had our og captain,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the guy who's been with us since the very beginning. Yes,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the gate Leaper's original, the Drinkipedia originally, Yes, Jason Winn. Jason.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: We couldn't have done that first live show without you.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Of course not. It was so cool that, like any
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: nerves I had, be like, oh, we're going to do this. Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it being like, Okay, it's Matt and Jason, the three
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of us together.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: We've been doing this since December twenty eighteen.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, we've been doing this for a long old time.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: For a long time, and look how far we've come.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Look at the evolution. Look like you mentioned earlier recording
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: next to a sofa, because the soundproofing is right the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: way through to being up there on stage with MIC's
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in our faces and live audience feedback.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was really really fun to be like, Okay,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we've been we've worked really hard on this type of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: format and it really works, and we got to show
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it off, show.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Off our wares, show off our wares, and yeah, to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: do that as our trio of podcasters, the three of
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: us who honed this format through the rough years of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Year one. Don't listen to year one of gate Leapers.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to year one.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe start with year two. If you've gotten into us
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: recently and you think, oh, next time I need to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: binge something, I'm going to binge their podcast, start with
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you two. I reckon.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I might d list. I might delist year one.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: That way we can repeat the fandoms in the games
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a peek behind the curtain.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: They may go behind the Patreon wall very soon.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Also, on the day we had Jen, Oh.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I can't talk enough about all the ways Jen helped
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: on the day live producer mm hmm.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: She was making sure everyone was where they needed to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: be and all the props were where they needed to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: be and how are you feeling? And she was so
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: helpful and so also calming of like you got it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was something she did intentionally,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: but one of my concerns going in was like, oh,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: there is an intermission, and that's ten minutes where I'm
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: going to be potentially in my own head with nothing
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to do and off the rails of this thing. But
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: back in the green room, Jen was just like engaging
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: my brain of just like conversation and talking about things
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that before I knew it. It was time to go
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: back out on stage.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, and like coming back highlighting things that went well,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: like things to do in the next half, and just
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: making sure that we stayed on. Yes, that was it,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and like ready to entertain people because people paid money
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to come see us, and so you want to entertain them.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a big part of the deal. You
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: want it to be a show for people.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Not just having stupid because we always have scoop, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that's a guarantee that's going to happen.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That's a gate leapers, seal of approval, Seal of approval.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Jen and Chris also both kept the scores. So thank
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: you Jen, Thank you Chris. Couldn't have done it without you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I mean that for the support over the years and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: appearances as well as they're on the night mm hmm.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Someone else who was there on the night, unbelievably so,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Ben Robinson. Ben Robinson of this parish, Yes of this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: parents from California came out to see the live show
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and just hang out with us for the weekend. It
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: was so much fun.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Such a fun time, such a good time getting to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: hang out with Ben in person. Irl in the flesh.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: The first person from from gate Leapers from eating all
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of these incredible people on the internet that we've met
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in person.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And it won't even be the last this year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: What a joy.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you Ben so much for taking the time
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to travel out for making the T shirt that you made,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: which I guess is the first official piece of gate
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Leaper's merch. We probably need to get on it at
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: some point, and maybe we will for live shows. Maybe
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: we'll have a little little something start with, like pins
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: all or something.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, something something small, yeah, something small and manageable. We've
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: grown so much in this past year or two. Maybe
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: we'll do merch that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Surely merches on the horizon. Surely, surely, sure really, surely, surely,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: charily surely. So thank you.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Ben, Thank you Ben. Surely this bit will end and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to do it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna do it again. We'll announce dates for
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the next live show very soon. Thank you to everyone
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: who made this happen. Looking forward to the future and
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: very excited for the next six months and then the
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: next year after that and then who knows.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Time.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Time is powerful.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Speaking of time, did we spend the first huge chunk
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of this part, just like last month, Just like last month,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: just talking shit about.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Us, all right, because we know it's happened this time,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and last time we weren't as fully aware of it,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: at least from a production standpoint. I'm going to tell
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: future me, roll some ads and we'll be back in
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Now this month on Bonus Round, I do not have
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: any muses to read off. Oh oh well, but what
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I do have is a comment on our Patreon from
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Kristin Farley, who says that there is an excellent documentary
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about Pangolins on Netflix.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, this was underneath the press play Pokemon the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: First movie episode. Yeah, where I believe within this sand
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: slash and there's the in that game we try and
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: figure out what sand slash is.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Pengolin, panglin. But this has inspired me with this segment.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you Kristen for inspiring Udra.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You can either send in a muse with
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a stage direction standard standard, what is inspiring you about
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the fandoms that we have had games about, but also
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: if there is a niche thing that you are into
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that you want to tell us about that we don't
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: have an episode of gate Leapers about we don't have
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: a press play or a Pandemonium about Pengolins or any
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: documentaries on Netflix. If there is something that is very
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: niche and very specific that you're like, they will probably
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not highlight this fandom. Send that to me.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I'll love this. This is great, this is excellent. Okay,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: So for let's use Kristen's inspirational comment here as example.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: If you were like, oh, I love Pangolins so much,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: they would send an email in saying that they love
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Panglin so much, why they love Panglin so much, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: then make the case for doing a Pangolin episode of Pandemonium. Yes,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I love.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That, Yes, please send those to me, because I do
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: love hearing about about very niche specific fandoms me too,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and people being excited about a fandom is sometimes the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: most exciting thing about it. So send those in to me.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I'll read them out and maybe someone who's listening to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: this will also really like the sound of that specific fandom.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I Yeah, this is this is great because there are
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the niche media properties that are like I love this
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: film and I've watched it two hundred times kind of thing.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But it's just a standalone film. Yes, there's the TV
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: series that aren't part of like a wider franchise or
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: network of things. Yeah, classics, the cult hits. Yes, you've
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: got musicians. That's a big thing.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: That's a big thing, like a YouTube series that only
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you seem like. Other people are definitely watching this because
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I see the views. Yes, but I don't think this
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is gonna be big enough to do a whole pandemonium on.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Try us, try us, Yeah, make the case for it. Okay,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I love this idea so much that I think, Yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I think we'll gather up a bunch of them, wait
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: until we've got a nice collection, and I'll add them
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to a should we do it drink Apedia style and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: draw from a hat? Ooh, I like that, bring back
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: an old school format point. And then maybe once or
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: twice a year we do one of these really niche yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: because look, if we're fortunate enough to do a bunch
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: more live shows, we will do quite broad fandoms. We
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: will revisit some classic big hitters. I think it'd be
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: really nice to do some niche things over these next
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: eighteen months.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Ooh, very niche episodes or even ones if there's a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: few that may have some overlapping. People who are interested
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in it, do a round a piece.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Oh I love that. Okay, Okay, I like that. Way
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you become an expert for one round, but then you're
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: completely guessing for three rounds.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: That's fun. Okay. I like these ideas. But to make
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: these ideas happen, we do need suggestions, So send those
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: in to gate Leapers at gmail dot com and Audro
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: will read them out in the mailbag segment on the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: next bonus round.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: But if you don't mind, I have a winning streak
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to return to in Matt versus Odra. Watch out for
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: my villain Era.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with the games Master, Captain power up. I'm
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: going to score all the points.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Passing knowledge was enough.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome to your doom.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I just hope we have a lot of fun.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And ignore this sentence. If you're a goddamn Lisa, you're
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: going down.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I want to fight. So we are joined again joyously
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: by Aaron Randolph of b F Y T W.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Joy Joy, Joy, spreading it everywhere. That's how I roll
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: ropy Jets of joy everywhere, go everywhere everywhere. That's just
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: like compliments.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: What's all of this joy on my face.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Enjoy it, sir. So Hi guys, how are you hello?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Doing goods? How are you?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I'm good? I'm good. I just wanted a touch base.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: We're halfway through the year. It's been, it's been. It's
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: been up and down. More up for Odra, more down
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: for Mat. But given that she has won four times
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: to your two, Matt, how are you feeling with six
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: games left to go?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not feeling great. I've started to put the numbers
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: together of we're halfway through this competition and I am
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: behind by two, which, if we're talking fractions and percentages,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: it's not good at this stage of the year. Yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: in midsummer.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at it this way. To draw even
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: by the end of the year, you need to win
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: four out of the remaining six.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, which is doable. Odra has already done it, so
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: it's true. It's proof that it's it's attainable.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: It can be done.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: But I just fear that my skills and capabilities are
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: not quite as strong as Audra's. In the year of
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. However, I will say I do have
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: one more comeback attempt in me. I know the last
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: comeback streak was broken a little early. I do, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: do think I have one more push, So I'm I'm
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: in it to win it today. I'm locked in perfect.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: That's that's how.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to hear that and adra two games in
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the lead. You're you're, you're smooth sailing so far. How
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: does it feel being out in front?
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It feels so wonderful, Like it's just such a beautiful
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: opportunity to practice my humility. And I think that's like
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a wonderful opportunity for me and I just I just
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: think that everything is a chance to.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Grow and yeah, yeah, so humble.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just so grateful for that in this moment being
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: four to two, that's fantastic petition.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely understand and agree. Uh And for those
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: of you who are listening to the free version of this, uh,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: this is all the excuse you need to join the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Gate labors Patreon because you'll get to see video and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Matt's face throughout that entire exchange was priceless.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Patreon dot com fowards slash, so thank you for me.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You can see me unsuccessfully.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Flip my hand.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna say anything. I thought it was gonna
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: go over your shoulder. But then it dropped right back.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It came right back.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, shall we get to it. It's time
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: for another game. Let's do it, and I'm bringing back
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: another classic. This is wipe Out. This is a game
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: show from nineteen ninety one. It lasted for exactly one season,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: so let that be what it will. However, it was
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: popular enough at least for a while, to gain an
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: actual like PC game version, like you can buy the
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: actual PC version of this. I think nineteen ninety one
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: is actually too far ahead. I think this was nineteen
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: ninety eight, or sorry, nineteen eighty eight, excuse wow, because
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: that would have been around the time the game tech
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: game show Doss games came out and wipe Out was
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: one of them. And I actually owned that PC game
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: and I played it on my dad's computer NonStop until
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I wore the questions out. Like I loved this game.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I loved this format, so I wanted to share it because,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: like I said, it didn't survive on TV for very long,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: and I think that's a shame. I think it's a
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: great game format.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And no one's gonna come for us. No one's gonna
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: see us.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No hopefully hopefully not. I can't imagine why it's thirty
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: years old. Plus you know, I'm pretty sure anyone who
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: owns the rights is already dead. But let's move how
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the game works. So there's gonna be two rounds of
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: actual play. So the first round is typically between three players.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: There's a board of sixteen screens, and behind each one
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: is going to be an answer. There's gonna be eleven
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: correct answers and five incorrect answers. Your goal is to
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: get as many correct answers as you can and build
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: your bank up and up and up as much as
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: you can to try and have the most money by
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: the time the round ends. And the round ends when
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: either the last correct answer has been picked or the
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: last wrong answer has been picked. Now, because hitting a
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: wrong answer is a wipeout and literally wipes your score
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: back to zero, you're gonna want to possibly think about passing,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: and doing so is fine. But because there's only two
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: of you, I had to make a third player, So
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: welcome back the artificial lack of intelligence.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Ali on Nemesis, our old rival.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, whenever Matt passes to Udro, who then passes to Ali,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Ali will take a wrong answer off the board, just
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: automatically take one away. However, Ali won't take the last
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: wrong answer off the board. There will always be at
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: least one left, and one of the two of you
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: will hopefully not find it, but we'll see in the Meanwhile,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: the first correct answers were twenty five points, then fifty
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: seventy five, then one hundred. It goes up by twenty
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: for each one until the final correct answer, which is
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy five points. Wow. So getting the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: later answers can really boost your score, but obviously by
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: that point it's also really dangerous, so just bear that
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: in mind as you play. Matt, you're gonna start because
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you're in the first position and you're behind. So here
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: is your board for round one. Eleven of these are
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: named elves in the Lord of the Ring series. Five
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: of them are not. Okay, and Matt, I'm gonna let
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: you start off. I'm gonna read these off for the
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: people listening. Angrod, then Lelliel, Redfeather, Arwyin, Glorfindel Kayla, Oro
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Dress Tin fang Kelabrimbor, little Heart, Willow Song, Farren, legaliss
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Ilwin Ener Dill and el Rond. Matt whenever you're ready.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Lovely bunch of belves that I'm gonna go with Arwin.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Going with Arwin? Okay, is Arwin and elf from the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings. Absolutely, it is twenty five points
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: to Matt. Matt, give me another answer.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Glorfandel.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Glorfandel is Glorfandel and elf from Lord of the Rings. Yes,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: exactly right. That's another fifty points. You're up to seventy five.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Do you want to keep going or do you want
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: to pass?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I would like to keep going. All right, I'm gonna
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: say Keller Brimble the Smith.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Kella Brimbor is Keller Brimbor an elf from Lord of
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the Rings. Yes, of course it sounds like you knew it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: That's another seventy five points. Brings you up to one
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty. You've taken three correct answers off the board,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: so there's eight correct and five incorrect left. I'm gonna
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: bring up something else. Now, there is one answer on
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: this board that hides a special hot spot. If you
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: hit that answer, which I determined in my opinion to
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: be the hardest answer on the board to pick us
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: the right one, you will gain the hot spot. If
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: you wipe out any time after that, you will lose it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm just gonna warn you now. If you have
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: the hot spot at the end of this round, you
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: keep it and that is worth twenty five dollars to
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the charity of your choice.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Ah okay, little spot prize.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: So there is a little prize up there, but you
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: have to keep it till the end of the round,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: which means once you find it you cannot wipe out.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: If you do, it's gone interesting. Little little spice in
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: the pop.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, little in the little spicy little spices. Thirteen answers left.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Where do you want to go?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I would like to go with a Lego Lass the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: girl who likes Lego.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Lego Lass is Lego Lass, a lord of the rings elf.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Of course he is well done. Where to next? Or
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: do you want to pass? You're up to two hundred
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: and fifty points.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: There's one more I'm confident about, So I'm going to
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: go with l Rond l Rond l Rond Hubbet.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Is l a lord of the rings elf. Yes, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: that's another one hundred and twenty five points. You're up
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to three seventy five.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, those were the ones I was confident on the others.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure on and I don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: want to risk anything at this stage, so I'm gonna pass.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, you're passing to Odra Odre. You're now in control.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: You have to give me at least one answer before
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: you can pass.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm thinking Oroo Dreth Oro dress is what I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: gonna go with.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: You're going with Orodreth is Oorrodreth, a elf from Lord
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: of the Rings. Yes, absolutely, that's right, Adre. Do you
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: want to uh continue or do you want to pass?
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: There are still five wrong answers up there, but now
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: there's only five correct answers left, so it's a fifty
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: to fifty shot. Gosh, but your next correct answer is
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: worth one seventy five would get you to three twenty five,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: just behind Matt.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I think I have to go for one more, just
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to try.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Where to ang Rod is ang Rod an elf from
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings? Yes, absolutely right, brings you up
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: to three twenty five. Okay, what do you want to do?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: There are four correct answers left, five wrong ones, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: of course if you pass, Ali will automatically take a
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: wrong one off the board.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they got rid of this game
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: after just one season.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, the tension, the tension, like the genuine thing
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in my heart. Kayla is absolutely calling to me.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Do you want to go with it?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: It's either the hot spot or the You're a dumb ass.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Why did you think there was an elf called Kayla?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna try. I'm picking Kayla.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: You're going with Kayla? All right? For two hundred points?
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Is Kayla a Lord of the rings elf?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Kayla is not an el from Lord of the
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: rings arter. You wipe out your back down to nothing.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: But that's okay. There's still plenty of answers up there
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: on the board to make to make points from it,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: and the hotspot's still up there somewhere. But now we're
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: gonna go over to Ali, who is going to take
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: another wrong answer off the board. Redfeather was also incorrect,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: so that leaves the remaining answers on the board are
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Van Lelliel, Tin Fang, Little Heart, Willow Song, Farren, Illwen,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: and ener Dill and Matt Control goes back to you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't it have been so good if that wasn't elf
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: called Kayla?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: There was an elf called Kayla from something. I took
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: the fake ones from other properties. I just don't remember
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: what Kayla was from. I think it was a video game.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Gately gmail dot com.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, if you know, if you know what Kayla
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: the Elf is from us, please let me know, absolutely, Okay.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I The one I next and most confident with is
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: ill when Illwen Ill?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: When is Illwen an elf from Lord of the Rings? Yes,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that's two hundred points. Matt, you're up to five seventy five.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I think I'm look, I've got to win this. I'm
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: gonna play this tactically. I'm gonna pass.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: You're gonna pass. Okay, I think that's probably wise. Protect
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: your point.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Total it we should ever.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Go over to ore ore the good news. It's fifty
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: to fifty. There are three correct answers left and three
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: incorrect answers left, and one of those correct answers hides
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the hotspot.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go with enerdal.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: ENERDLL is Enerdill an elf from Lord of the Rings? Yes,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: absolutely right, and it's the hotspot. So Audre, you have
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: that hotspot that is all yours. If you wipe out,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: it's gone. But if you keep it until if you
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: keep it to the next round. That adds twenty five
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: dollars to the charity rechoice if you play to win,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: so bear that in mind. You may want to avoid
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: wiping out at all costs.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Here, Okay, I think I I genuinely think I might pass.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, we passed. Ali. Ali, of course takes a wrong
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: answer off the board. Willow Song was incorrect, and that
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: is now out of play. So there are just two
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: correct answers and two incorrect answers left, Van Lelliel, Tin Fang,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Little Heart and Farren. Matt, you have to give me
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: an answer.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to go with the most Tolkien
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: sounding one, and I'm gonna go Van Lellil.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, Van Lellil is Van Lelliel from Lord of the Rings.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Oh no, sorry, Matt, Van lellel Is from Dimension twenties
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Fantasy High.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: No.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I was screwed by postmodernism.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I even did in my heart. I was like, oh yeah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Brennan Lee Mulligan was totally right when he was making
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: fun of the tokens.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So there are no more wrong answers left too. There
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: is one wrong answer left on the board, but Ali
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: cannot take it. So Ali's out of the game. So, Audra,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: it's just you and Matt now, and Audra, you're in control.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: There are two correct answers. There's one wrong answer. If
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: you pick the wrong answer, we're going to round two
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: on an even keel. You're both at zero, and I'll
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: just give Matt control of the first round. In round
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: two if you get it right and then pass, there's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: nothing Matt can do to catch you. So what do
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: you want to go with? There are two correct answers left,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: tin Fang, Little Heart and Farren. One of those is wrong,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: avoid it and you win the round.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Genuinely, this is like thirty three and a third wild gas. Yes, okay,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like in Lord of the Rings at one
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: point in time there was there were were wolves and vampires,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna say Tinfang Tinfang.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: If Tinfang is an elf from Lord of the Rings,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Oudra has won the round and will take control into
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: round two, and she keeps the hotspot, which adds twenty
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: five dollars to the possible win. Okay, here goes. Is
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Tinfang a Lord of the Rings elf? Yes, it absolutely is, so, Audra.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: At four seventy five, Matt, I'll give you the last
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: guess just for funzies, but it isn't gonna do any good.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: What do you think, little Heart and Farren? Which do
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you think is real? In which do you think is fake?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think there'd be an elf called little Heart.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: It sounds too much like a hobbit, so I'm gonna
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: say Farren.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: You'd go with Farren?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, one news, sorry, little Heart is an actual Lord
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: of the rings elf.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the good news. Odra found the hotspot and
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: kept it, so we are adding twenty five dollars to
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: the possible win today. But Odra also won the round,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: which means she's going to take control of round two.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: So round two works a little differently. There's going to
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: be twelve screens this time, eight correct answers and four
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: wrong answers. Before you start picking, though, you're going to
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: choose how many of the eight you think you can
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: give in a row without wiping out. The next player
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: then has to either up that number or challenge, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: we'll keep going back and forth until somebody challenges or
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: somebody bids all eight. Then that player who won the
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: bid has to give me that many correct answers. In
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: a row without wiping out. If they hit a wipeout,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: it's not immediately over. The other player just has to
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: give one correct answer to steal the round. If they fail,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: we go back to the original player and they get
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: to continue their count, but they still have to reach
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: their number, and if they wipe out a second time,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: they lose the round. It goes to the other player.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm following that by also see why this got canceled.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: The first round is a much sleeker, simpler format.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: It's a lot easier if I just walk you through it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Here's your first board. We went over James Bond recently,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: and we went over Bond Girls. I remember that much,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: But do you know the actresses who played send Bond Girls.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Eight of these were Bond Girl actresses and four of
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: them were not. And the names are Halle Berry, Fade Dunaway,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Sophie Marceau, Jane Seymour, Julie Christy, Michelle Yo, Telissa Soto,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Catherine Denouve, Terry Hatcher, Tanya Roberts, Caroline Monroe, and Jennifer
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Connolly anddra All that in mind, how many correct answers
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: in a row do you think you can give me
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: and extremely tentative. Four who was three?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Or four?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Three? Four?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Three? Four? And then I was just I heard a
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: voice say, I don't know, maybe fucking send it? So
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I said four.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: All right, Matt, do you want to go over that?
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Or do you want to challenge her to get four
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: in a row.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say five.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Ooh, Matt says five. We go back to Audra. You
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: have to go six or challenge.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I genuinely don't know if I even know who four
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: of these people are, and so I'm gonna.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Challenge challenge all right. In that case, Matt, it goes
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: over to you. Go ahead and give me your first
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: correct answer.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Halle Barry.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: Halle Barry. Was she a bond girl? Absolutely? Brings you
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: down to four? Just need four more? Michelle Yo Michelle Yoe.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Was she a bond girl? Absolutely? She was down to three?
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Terry Hatcha Terry Hatcher? Was she a bond girl? Of course?
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: She was two? Left.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Jane Seymour, Jane Seymour. Was Jane Seymour a bond girl? Yes?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: She was just need one more to take the round? Matt.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Now, this this is where I was just batting this
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: is where I was just those were the four that
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I was like dead certain on. Oay, we're in an
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: interesting position.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Here, all right.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: There's a couple up there that I'm pretty certain just
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: armed bond girls. So I'm just gonna take a guess
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: at someone, and I'm gonna say Katherine Daneuve.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Catherine Daneuve. If Catherine Danov is a bond girl actress,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: you have taken the first round immediately. If not, Audrey
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: gets a chance to steal. Was Katherine Deanove a bond
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: girl actress?
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: No?
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: No, Katherine Danov was not a bond girl actress. Audrey,
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: you just have to give me one right answer to
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: steal this board. Okay, there are four right answers left
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: and three wipeouts.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: They Faye done Away.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: If Aye Dunaway is a Bond Girl actress, then Oudra
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: has tolen the board from Matt. If not, Matt gets
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: another shot at it. Is Faye Dunaway a Bond girl actress. No,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: she is not, Matt a reprieve. You now are back
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: to where you were before. You just need to give
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: me one right answer, and this board is yours.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, my instinct was way off last time of taking
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: the guests. So I'm gonna say this time, I'm gonna
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: go in the opposite direction of instinct, and I'm gonna
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: say Talisa Soto.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Talisa Soto. All right. If Talisa Soto is correct, Matt
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: has won the round. If it is wrong, he has failed,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: and Audra wins the round. Is Talisa Soto a bond girl?
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Is well done? Matt wins board one, well done. So
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: for the curious, the remaining correct answers were Sophie Marceau,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Caroline Monroe, and Tanya Roberts. Julie Christy and Jennifer Connelly
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: were both incorrect.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have even gotten four.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you never know. Maybe Matt would have picked Catherine
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Denov and then you would have gone right back to
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: it and could have stolen it back. Who knows, and
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: any of them Matts. Matt has the first board. If
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Matt takes one more board, he has won this game. Okay,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: and Matt even better? News Auder got to wager first
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: last time. This time you get to wager first. So
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: take a look at this board. Eight of these are
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: named demons from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and four are not.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: How many of these can you name as demons from
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start out the bidding process with a cool one.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: With a cool one, Okayra, over to you. Would you
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: like to wager a cooler two?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: You can go as high as you want.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, I am gonna do an ice cold
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: like cold as the Grave two.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Okay too. It is over to Matt. Matt, you have
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: to go higher or challenge.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to turn the temperature up on this grave
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you a give you a sizzling three.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: A sizzling three. Back over to Odra. Four or challenge.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I think I've got to go big. I've got to
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: go fucking if I want to win this, if I
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: want to take this home and cement my humility, I
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: gotta go big. I gotta go for four challenge.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Okay fuck? Oh, Matt immediately challenges and it's Oudra's board
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: for the taking. All right, Odra, you got to You
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: just have to give me four correct answers without hitting
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: a wipeout whenever you're ready.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to everyone who loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Laharal Laharal is Laharrel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. No, no, no,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Laharrel is a demon from this guya a video game.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid Yay. Okay, Matt, here's the good news. You
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: just have to give me one right answer to win
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: the round. However, if you're wrong, Audre gets another chance
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: to get four in a row.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, this again. Sorry to anybody likes s Buffy the
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Vampire Slaya. I've already forgotten my research from last year.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Oh you know what I did? I did it. I
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: did our audience at disservice. I didn't even read out
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: the name, so let me read them out for the
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: people listening at home so they have a chance to
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: play along before we finish this round. The available options
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: are the Gentleman Halfrek, Torgue, Sweet Chio, A, Kathla, a
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: tests Egon, the Sleepwalker, Jaxis, Dracula, and the Sisterhood of
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: j So now you should be able to guess at
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: how many you could get at home, while Matt gives
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: me one correct answer to steal the round and the game.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, with everything on the line, and with apologies to
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Buffy fans, I'm gonna go for a Katla.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: If a Kathla is a demon from Buffy, then Matt
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: has won the round and the game. If not, it's
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Oudra has a chance to give me four in a
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: row yet again, but she could do it. Is a
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Kathla from Buffy. Yes, absolutely, which means Matt has taken
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: two boards and wins the round and the game.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Well done, Matt, I guys, I needed this. I needed this?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: But what about me?
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: What about my needs?
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: What about what I need?
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I needed to go six.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: And well, well there's still there's still time to get
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: more wins under your belt, but not today. I'm afraid Oudre,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Matt has taken this game. Uh so, for anyone interested
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: at home, the remaining correct answers were the Gentleman Halfreck, Torgue,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Sweet Egon, the Sleepwalker Dracula, and the Sisterhood of Ja.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: The remaining four were all incorrect, taken from various other
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: properties Chiogannatassin, Geraxis. But I'm sure Matt doesn't care. He
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: is just one. Hey, another bonus round.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's what that is. That's that's the important thing.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Although I did I Draxis was one I eliminated because
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: is that world of warcraft?
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jeraxis is World Warcraft.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: That one I was avoided. And then Dracula. That was
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: so interesting. It was like it was either going to
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: be really is or is like either Joss Whedon did
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: this or it definitely didn't happen.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Well, he absolutely did season five, I think episode one
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: of season five, Buffy meets Dracula bring the Bank guns
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: quite literally. It was an excellent episode. So yeah, that's
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: wipeout for you. There was a bonus round as well,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: but it's kind of hard to play because it's like
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: a sixty second timed thing, and so I just figured
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: i'd make the hotspot the bonus round, which you won.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to donate fifty dollars to your charity of.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Choice, Doctors Without Borders.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Doctors without Borders. It is perfect. I love that pick,
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: so important. So yeah, well done. Congratulations Matt for closing
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: up the score. Thank It is now four games to
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: adra three to Matt. It is a one game game,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: a one game contest, I should call it. So yeah,
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: we'll be back next month with another bonus round and
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: we'll see. We'll see how the scales tip that time,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and if Matt can tie it up, make it four
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: to four.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: That's the dream that.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Re extend her lead fingers crossed.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Aerin. That was an absolute blast.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so much for having me and
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: letting me play these silly games. And I can't wait
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: for the next one.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Say, like I said, I needed this.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I went into that pretty confident. You were pretty confident,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and I needed to be humbled for my personal spiritual journey.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: And I just I don't know how I can get
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: any lower in life than four to three.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Still still in the lead, still in the lead.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: By one, and I just I'm so glad that there's
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be a whole month for me to recover and
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: then I'll come back and I'll win and it'll be fine.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so you are still just as confident.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, you saw, you saw my entire dark Knight of
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the Soul.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: It just happened in that thirty seconds.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: It just happened in that thirty seconds. I have a
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: very rich inner life.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I believe it. I believe it. Yeah, I'm glad. The
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: score looks more reasonable now for three. That's you know,
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: I'm behind by one. Anything could happen. The dream is alive.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: We're gonna tie it up next month. And then oh,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: you never know, Matt Old games Master. Matt could be
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: in the lead. I could be in the lead by August.
