0:18
Hello, and welcome to Gatesleepers, the pop culture game show that shines a
0:22
spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master and beach in cell Mats
0:27
Watson. But of course we couldn't play these games without our team captains,
0:33
a pair of fashion icons who can do whatever they set their minds to,
0:37
providing it's an existing industry under late stage capitalism. Yes, first, this
0:43
barbie has seven separate depression diagnoses. It's Audra Stevenson. Hello, and I
0:48
refuse to believe each of them in turn. And this Barbie is actually a
0:55
Ken in disguise. Get him. It's Jason Nowyn. Hi, I'm a
0:58
Ken without a bar and that's my life. Okay, yeah, yeah,
1:02
you're just instantly starting like first act yeah, not redeemed third act Ken.
1:06
Yeah, well, I mean third act Ken. He's finding himself, yeah,
1:10
and I think he We're going to get into that part too, I
1:14
think later. Yeah, yeah, this is actually therapy. Good. Hello,
1:18
Captains, are you ready for a series of games about a fashion doll
1:22
that made things better for women than worse for women and now a complex mix
1:26
of both better and worse for women. But that's sort of the point.
1:29
Yeah. Yeah, like I'm very much a boy. I'm very much a
1:33
ken and not not to out myself there, but like I never played with
1:38
Barbies, but all boys toys don't make me feel like that. Like there's
1:44
not a lot of emotional and societal change happening around the Transformers franchise, you
1:49
know what I mean, or bionicles or anything like that. She freed some
1:53
of the essays I've read. But yeah, and that's in preparation for the
1:57
Transformers fandom episode. Yeah, definitely will happen. Yeah, but I mean
2:01
i'd like to I'd like to get some perspective from die hard lifelong fans.
2:06
Yeah, because it's interesting and ultra does that? Does that sum you up?
2:08
Are you a die hard lifelong Bobby fan. I did have Barbies throughout
2:13
my entire life. I think I left Barbie World when I was like when
2:19
I thought I was edgy, Like there was a time period in my life
2:22
when I believed myself to be very hardcore and so Barbie was not for me.
2:25
But I came back. I came back around. Yeah. Big.
2:30
That's an interesting way. That's that's an interesting way to describe your relationship with
2:34
Matt. You know like it really into Barbies all throughout your life. Yeah,
2:38
I had one hanging around your arm. I didn't know. I didn't
2:40
know how you felt about it. Yeah. Oh, it's a dig about
2:46
a very strong and secure relationship, absolutely wanting that in my face. Ye.
2:53
Humor has to have a nugget of truth to it. Okay, yeah,
2:55
okay, Well, Bobbies. To play these games about Bob, you'll
3:00
each need to pair up with other Barbies from around the world, mainly mainly
3:04
England. Jason, who is your teammates today, she's the first time player.
3:08
We love those as a lifelong Barbie fan. And we should mention Matt's
3:12
sister, although you can tell from the name about to say, it's Lydia
3:15
Watson. Hello, Lydia the podcast. Hello, thank you so much for
3:20
having me. It's it's a pleasure to finally have you here. I feel
3:23
like, yeah, it's I should have extended an invite earlier than this,
3:27
and as your as your brother, I feel guilty for not doing No,
3:30
that's okay. I feel like you were waiting for the perfect topic and I
3:34
think I think this was a This was the one, perfect perfect Absolutely,
3:38
I'll take that to cover up my lack of organizing. So Lydia Bobbie,
3:45
have you have you also been a lifelong fan? Yeah? I think I
3:49
also had a similar experience per Audra, where I like, I don't actually
3:53
think I had that many Barbies. I did always, Matt, I don't
3:57
know if you remember this, but like when Nana would make our birthday cake,
4:00
she'd always put the Bobby she put like a Bobby doll my cake.
4:05
Yeah, I had one of those. Yeah that's really cool. Yeah,
4:10
that's really cool. Yeah. And then I also like the like straight to
4:14
DVD Bobby movies were like very much. I would watch at least one per
4:19
day every day, So like, yeah, two years that, I'm sure
4:26
you do. I'm sure you do. Yeah. I did recently learn that
4:30
our mother gave away my Bobby DVD box set to another person. So it's
4:36
going to take me a long time to give her for that because that would
4:39
have come in to watch because refresh the memory for this day. Yeah,
4:45
definitely you could have binged all of those Bobbies. I could have and I
4:47
would have. And how let's talk contemporary Bobby as well. Did you see
4:53
Gretta go Wiggs Masterpiece? Yes? I did, I did it was wonderful.
4:59
Yes, I saw Openheimer and then I saw Bobby, and that was
5:00
a clear winner of the two. And it was definitely Bobby. Yes,
5:05
we're not doing a nuclear physics themed show today, No, definitely not.
5:11
We know who on exactly. Yeah, yeah it was. It was very
5:15
joyful and just I love a silly film like I just love it when films.
5:18
Yeah, so silly, and that's what this did. So yeah,
5:23
it was good. And they talk about them. Heck, yeah, it's
5:26
good to hear. I think you will be a good teammate for Jason,
5:28
who seems to admittedly know nothing. I mean, it isn't about Oppenheimer.
5:31
This isn't just hell out of here. Then fantastic stuff. And Audra who
5:39
is joining you? They are a returning player, an actor, a writer,
5:44
a Ricketty Fidget. It's al Atkinson. Hello, al oh, how
5:48
are you doing. Welcome to the podcast. I'm good. Thank you for
5:51
having me on again. Yeah, of course you did the Shrek episode I
5:56
believe ye, yes, yes, and so this is you continue in the
6:00
streak of like Toysarro's Childhood's kind of aisles things here. Yeah. I don't
6:05
know what that says about me, but the toy episodes. We'll look at
6:13
me and you're like, an, they've put a lot of toys. Absolutely,
6:16
I mean, is it is it true? Did you have Barbies growing
6:20
up? I did? I did. I had had a lot of Barbies.
6:26
Yeah, still has them in like a box in our garage and won't
6:31
get rid of them. Okay, so they weren't given away at least spectrum.
6:36
You could reclaim your childhood, should you. My brother did so.
6:40
We had the VHS of the Barbie movies, which I think would be a
6:45
flexace that my brother has taken them. He's moved out with the only VHS
6:49
player I think left in the universe that is now he knows quality. Yeah,
6:58
that's mine and that everyone knows that now it's on the record. Yeah,
7:05
and did you also have that that stage like lydia an order of like,
7:10
yeah, I'm too cool for Barbie now. I don't know if I
7:12
was ever cool. I don't think, Okay, you are, you are
7:17
now, you are now, So at some point it must have happened,
7:23
because I think I went I went from Barby to then being very into musical
7:30
theater, like very into musical theater. So I don't think I got to
7:34
be a cool teenager. I think I just went to street from like to
7:40
some nerd that's relatable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And as far as
7:47
you know, a zeitgeist goes. Have you seen Barbie twenty twenty three?
7:51
Yes, yeah, I like fantastic good Oh yes, yeah. I realized
7:56
I made it a loaded thing by calling it a masterpiece to there is making
8:01
no room for anyone to criticize. I am very afraid doesn't create an open
8:07
space for conversation. But that's yeah, it's myself on the rest, a
8:11
little gate keepery. Look, you'll be helping out, helping out Audre and
8:16
I feel like we've maybe got a favorite team here to potentially win, to
8:20
like raise the stakes. I'm just trying to create a narrative. Yeah,
8:26
there's a Barbie and a Cannon our team, you know what I mean.
8:31
You know, I'm so excited to carry this team, Jason. I have
8:37
a lot of positive outlook on life. And that's what fair enough? Fair
8:43
enough. It's a non binary Barby, a Corby or a Ben or a
8:48
Ben. It's catchy. It's catchy. It is. Yeah. I think
8:56
Carby is cooler though, because it sounds like I might be able to turn
8:58
into a which I would like to Yes, part Transformers just non binary Barbie.
9:09
Look, those are the essays I've read about how Transformers are genderist and
9:13
help help break down the gender spectrum. Credible work. Okay, teams,
9:18
before we talk more about Transformers, before we continue on our adventure, we
9:24
need to start having an existential crisis. So I'd like each pair to come
9:28
up with a Barbie themed team name. Please. Let's start with Jason and
9:31
Lydia. Have you got any ideas? Jason, Yes, I thought of
9:35
these right before we got into this room. So Lydia, tell me what
9:39
you think about these. The blonde fragilities doesn't make it, doesn't, But
9:48
I was thinking of Adre as I wrote it down. I've got the cellulite
9:52
sirens, which might make a lot of sense for us. Yeah, yeah,
9:56
yeah, proud, And then assuming things about Lydia. Yeah, everyone
10:03
has cellulite, I think. And then I just I feel like you're gonna
10:09
shoot this down, and that's okay. I just want to say it out
10:11
loud. Barbies nuts, that's what I wrote down. Like these nuts,
10:16
Yeah, like these nuts. Yeah, I think these nuts. Yeah,
10:20
I think that one's my favorite. Actually, Jason, this is great.
10:24
Yeah, before we before we settle, do you have any ideas, Lydia
10:28
please for a Bobby theme team name? No, I think I think Jason's
10:33
got it covered. I think ye leave this one to the Kens. Yeah,
10:37
that sounds like a job for a man. So I'm gonna let Jason
10:41
do that. That sounds like a Ken job. So yeah, I'm good
10:46
with that. Yeah, yeah, I'm good with all right. I'm writing
10:52
it down. It's Bobby's nuts. Yeah, he's nuts. I mean in
11:00
this episode he whoops as he holds up a mocktail energy. Okay, good
11:07
stuff. So we've got Barbie's nuts, but who will they be facing ultra
11:11
l I did have a couple bar A instead of Barbie, because we're one
11:16
step better? Is good. Sugar's Daddies it's in the film, but is
11:22
also a discontinued Barbie where there's a Ken but he has a dog named Sugar
11:28
and he is called Sugar's daddy, but he is So you're Sugar Daddy.
11:33
You want the daddies? Yes, I am Kenneth and Mojodojo Kasa house.
11:39
I gotta Sugars daddies. Really, that's what I was hoping unless you have
11:46
any other ideas, I just like to be prepared. I absolutely have no
11:52
ideas. I've never had one ever in my life. Relate. So the
11:58
fantastic minds for quoizing Sugar's Daddy's I love it. A lot of male representation
12:07
in the team names right now. Well, the Bobby film did end up
12:11
being about Canna a lot. So we've got Barbie's nuts versus Sugar's Daddy's.
12:22
We got apostrophes doing a lot of work, all right. And if you're
12:26
listening to this and thinking I was raised male coded, so I don't know
12:31
my Barbie from my pub wasp. Yeah, yeah, it's oh, I
12:39
just got it. Don't worry. Is Audra with a little segment we like
12:43
to call passing knowledge. Barbie is a fashion doll created by American businesswoman Ruth
12:50
Handler, manufactured by Mattel and launched in nineteen fifty nine. Barbie became an
12:56
instant hit among young girls as Mattel followed the teachings of Chairman Mao and targeted
13:01
the hearts and minds of our children. Hi Bobby, Hi Barbie, Hi
13:05
Barbie? Hi can I can Hi? Can I can? I can cool?
13:11
Initially serving as a feminist icon brand, Barbie has fluctuated between helping and
13:18
hindering the fight for gender equality under capitalism, you know, kind of like
13:22
Miley Cyrus. On one hand, Barbie went to space before women could have
13:26
their own bank account. But equally Barbie still said I can't work computers in
13:31
like twenty fourteen, though I won't let you do just one appendect me.
13:37
But I'm a man, but not a doctor. Can I talk to a
13:39
doctor? You are talking to a doctor. The brand has expanded into a
13:41
multimedia franchise since about the late nineteen eighties, including video games, computer animated
13:48
films, and, of course, Greta Gerwigs Barbie released just this year,
13:54
a film that has now become the highest grossing film of twenty twenty three.
13:58
Oh my god, Gretta is sinophile autter Barbie, and I am here for
14:03
her. This Barbie is slaying at the box office. Come into my weird
14:09
house. Hi, I'm weird Barbie. I am in the splits. I
14:11
have a funky haircut and I smell like basement. Oh my god, I
14:15
had a weird Barbie. Yeah you did? You make them weird by playing
14:18
too on? It's cool. This year's Barbie Mania has sparked Barbie Core,
14:24
a fashion trend inspired by Barbie, as well as a fem subgenre of the
14:28
thrash metal scene. So let's jump into the world of Barbie, knowing it's
14:33
going to be chuggy and problematic again in about six months. Yes, thank
14:41
you, Audre. Was it fun researching the history of Bobby. Yes,
14:46
there's on the like one hand of feminism and other hand of feminism. There's
14:50
a lot of stuff that is great and not so great, but there's a
14:54
lot of pretty solid stuff as far as Barbie goes historically. Is a tiny,
15:01
tiny bit of all the information that was found about Barbie. Yes,
15:05
yeah, that's that sums up Bobby pretty pretty much. And the best things
15:09
in our times? Do you seem to be both terrible and amazing. Yeah.
15:13
Like Barbie's inventor, Ruth Handler, I mentioned like nineteen fifty nine,
15:18
but it was like seventy four before women had codified in law, could open
15:24
a bank account, could manage their own funds. A lot of banks did
15:28
it, Like six mid sixties, a lot of banks were doing it.
15:33
But any bank could just say you're a woman, you don't get a bank
15:35
account, and so there was like an amount of time between Barbie the biggest
15:41
doll ever, like one of the biggest toys of all time, where it
15:46
was invented and then the inventor could have a bank account. Yea, so
15:50
wild stuff. Yeah, Ruth Handler had looked at girls toys and just saw
15:56
babies and and like motherhood base things. And I think from memory the origin
16:03
of Barbie was she went to a European country. Yeah, and there was
16:08
like this famous icon and she brought that hack and who Yeah, and we're
16:15
gonna make that a doll for kids, and that like in a pitch in
16:18
itself in a boardroom full of men, is pretty fucking metal, and I
16:22
like and it's just just shout out to the toys that made us. That's
16:30
a very cool, like documentary series. They have an episode of Barbie and
16:32
it's it's very interesting to find out the origin of that happen. I should
16:37
have watched that before doing this. We all have homework now. The best
16:44
Gately first episodes come with homework. Just before we get to today's games,
16:48
I've asked each player to bring in a muse that's something that inspires them or
16:52
something they love from this particular fandom. Bobby is inspiring to me because actually,
16:59
you know, this isn't about me as someone who largely presents Ken.
17:03
We all know who should be speaking when it comes to Bobby and inspiration.
17:08
Me having said that, I don't want to break off format because that would
17:12
physically pain me more than you know social faux pas. So Jason, what's
17:18
inspiring you for me? Ken? To go? First? Lather boy in
17:23
the room? Oh boy, this is bad. I didn't grow up with
17:29
a lot of Barbie, but watching Gretick orwigs Barbie, I don't know.
17:32
Is this the cliche? Is this is stereotypical. I really enjoyed like Ken's
17:36
journey in that it The ironic thing about that is it. It spoke to
17:40
me in the way that, like Ryan Gossling's Ken is so pathetic and that
17:45
speaks to me. But also the interesting part of that is not only do
17:48
I follow his journey and the struggles with the patriarchy and and hegemonic masculinity that
17:55
he goes through, but if anything, I come out of that movie going
17:57
Okay, Ken socks uh and is going through his own things and I should
18:02
be going through my own things. But really, Barbie here is the person
18:03
to mottos yourself after and and look at you know what kind of look,
18:07
kind of journey that goes through and she's our hero and stuff like that.
18:11
Yeah. So I really enjoy that. Despite the Barbie moving being something about
18:18
you know, women and feminism and what the Barbie franchise means to women,
18:22
like, it also allows and like me to be like, ah, that's
18:26
what this is about because I have no idea, you know, really realistic.
18:32
That's that's that's awesome. I'm not going into a Transformers movie and I'm
18:37
learn about feminism and you know, the Transformers film doesn't say, wow,
18:42
the patriarchy sucks for me too, really says all of that, all of
18:48
us back like ten years. Yeah. Absolutely brain energy. So no,
18:52
I love the new movie And can I stop talking about Yeah yeah, no,
18:59
that's great. That's a great and it's good to hear that Greta go
19:02
Wick achieved what she set out to do, I suppose as far as male
19:06
audience is concerned. So good stuff, Very inspiring. We'll move on over
19:10
to your Barbie's Nuts teammate, Lydia, What is inspiring you from the world
19:15
of Bobby Mine? Is a little more chaotic than station. It is a
19:21
character from a couple of the like older like straight to DVD movies. In
19:27
particular, I think he's in Bobby fairy Topia and then the spin off of
19:33
that, which is Bobbie Mermaidia, where the fairy turns into a mermaid.
19:37
It's crazy. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Bibble. He's
19:45
like, he's a little blue guy. He looks, Oh, he won't
19:49
be able to see it, probably he looks like this, you can see
19:52
the like blood. Yeah, yeah, this little tiny who fuck is just
20:00
like on he's on drugs, like there is no other explanation for it.
20:07
His eyes are wide, he's like zooming around the place. He adds very
20:11
very little to the plot. He's just having a good time, which is
20:15
how high I'm trying to live my life. I'm just trying to be there.
20:21
I'm not trying to, you know, influence anything. I'm just trying
20:23
to have a good time and try and not guy he's very delicate, which
20:30
I also relate to. So he's like fighting for his life a lot of
20:33
the time, which to me is also relatable. But he always he always
20:37
gets through it. So that's that's my My music is Bibble. What a
20:41
fantastic animal? Yeah that little that little blue. Fuck, yeah, that's
20:48
what he is. Yeah, that's what you say. Is that like a
20:52
creature? Is that a sentient hum? I think I think his species name
20:59
is a possible. Okay, I think that's and it describes him really well,
21:03
that is a possible. And yes, just like blue and fuzzy and
21:10
he's very round, like you could just pick him up like this, and
21:12
I think he'll be really satisfying. And yeah, that's just he's just a
21:17
possible. He is in and of himself. I was going to say that
21:21
there aren't any others, but then I think he does get a girlfriend,
21:23
like later on. I don't remember what her name is, but she's pink.
21:27
So you notice the girl. Yeah, honestly, Pibble is a good
21:33
shout. Yeah yeah, yeah, good good mus It's always good. I
21:41
love the muses that are like being inspired by a niche character because I love
21:45
that feeling of, like, I know, I feel like I'm the only
21:47
one obsessed with this. Ye, fantastic stuff. Okay, let's see what
21:52
Sugar's daddy's are being inspired by. And we'll begin with l what's inspiring you
21:57
from the world of Barbie. I inspired by the audacity of the Barbie Rapunzo.
22:06
Okay, not not Rapunzel Barbie, but the Barbie who at the start
22:10
is in the valley lesson and it's like, I'm going to tell you a
22:11
story that's really going to help you with your Arabesque or whatever, and then
22:15
proceeds to tell like an hour and a half of nonsense about duggins and paintbrushes
22:22
and got nothing to do with Rapunzel. She complete her way through walls and
22:26
then little kid and is like, can you dance now? And the kid's
22:30
like, yeah, okay, yeah, because I was practicing the whole time.
22:36
It's a very long, random story that's got nothing to do with Bally.
22:42
I want to live like the fucking goal. Oh that's so good.
22:53
I love as Like did that register with you as a kid when you were
22:56
watching it, or is that something that like in hindsight, you'd be like,
23:00
she wasn't teaching her a goddamn thing. I don't know. I know
23:04
I was a kid. It was one of my favorite films. It is
23:07
a buyer. Yeah, I must have been in hindsight. I don't think
23:11
it's a kid. I saw anything aside from I want to see this dragon
23:15
again and the weird rabbit, the really angry rabbit doing weird He was a
23:21
weirdo. Yeah, hey, bibble one. I wish he was, but
23:27
he isn't. Just adding more chaos. Good good news. Yeah again at
23:36
the little childhood moment of being like what what is this? And Bobby Rapunzel,
23:41
that's when I recognize from the Endless rewatches as well. It's so finally
23:48
we will move to Audra, the second member of Sugars Daddies. What is
23:52
inspiring you from Bobby? I am inspired by Barbie as a child free icon't
23:59
as someone who is child free by choice. I have never wanted to have
24:03
children, and I won't, but they've wanted. Mattel wanted Ruth Handler to
24:10
make Barbie have kids at one point, and she's like no. They're like
24:14
no, but we need to show all the paths that little girls can have
24:18
in their life, and so we're giving her all these jobs. But we
24:19
haven't done. Mother and her just saying little girls don't need me to remind
24:25
them of that. Little girls need to be told that they can be an
24:30
astronaut or a doctor or like all of the things that Barbie has done.
24:36
That's what girls need to be reminded of. And so heck, yes,
24:41
Barbie is a child free icon. I even Matt and I went to see
24:45
it with one of my co workers. I work in an all female team
24:48
in STEM and her and I currently I am child free. She is currently
24:53
child free. Like we went together to see the Barbie movie All in Pink.
25:00
It was amazing, It was very good. It is a good time.
25:03
Is a good moment. Yeah, oldre could I ask, being like,
25:06
I know you've been doing recess and stuff. Is that why they made
25:10
Midge like the prims like yes character to like avoid having it the Bobby.
25:15
It's like, oh, it's it's an all Bobby, It's said someone else.
25:18
Yes. So they invented Midge to be a pregnant Barbie like Barbie Doll.
25:25
The compromise was they would have Midge who would have kids, and Skipper
25:29
as Barbie's little sister, right, so that she's like in a child role.
25:33
There is a child role in Barbie's life. It is not a baby,
25:37
but it is a younger version that she can show care for. And
25:41
then we'll make this other body horror doll. You remove the plastic stomach and
25:48
extract the gross, gross fertilized through the line a brand. Bobby, Yes,
26:00
absolutely, I mean it just was a weird thing, unhinged. That
26:06
that is worse than like the pooping dog. I think is fine. I
26:08
don't know why they just continued that. I think that's a great toy.
26:11
Yeah, but the idea of like doing a C section like six years old,
26:19
just like performing surgery on your Bobby. Honestly, if they framed that
26:25
as do you want to be a surgeon like I would, that would have
26:29
been good because it could give you stem I want an epidural. We're a
26:40
natural household. You're not getting Wait a moment, Bobby, Yeah, great,
26:48
great mus Bobby Childfrey, very good. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
26:52
That was the thing. This this summer is just like finally women were allowed
26:56
to go to the cinema and it was nice to see. It was like
26:59
we got bank counts in nineteen seventy four twenty twenty three of the year we
27:03
were allowed to go to the movie. Right, teams, let's take a
27:07
series of vehicles in a sort of endless audio tracking shot as we montage our
27:12
way into round one. Round one is called can you find the real answers?
27:22
Can you? Can you? Can you? Yeah? It works?
27:26
Can you? In this game, I will name a category related to the
27:30
world of Barbie and then offer each team a list of five things supposedly from
27:34
that category. It's up to our pairs to select the real list items until
27:38
they found all three for a potential total of three points. But they must
27:44
avoid the two wrong answers that I made up while sitting through Oppenheimer. You've
27:49
got to do something to pass the time. Say one of those incorrect answers,
27:55
and you'll be frozen out of the list and have to wait until the
27:57
next category. So we will be in with Barbie's Nuts, and the first
28:02
category for both teams is Barbie Playsets. Still laughing at Barbie's Nuts, shut
28:07
up, I forgot. So we're beginning with Barbie playsets. Three of these
28:15
will be real, two of them will be fake. Jason and Lydia,
28:18
here is your list. Cool Aid, Barbie, Hog Farmer Barbie, George
28:23
Washington, Barbie Haunted Beauty Mistress of the Manor Barbie, and Lockheed Martin Barbie.
28:30
WHOA, that's touff. None of those should be real. It's upsetting
28:37
any ideas, any initial ideas. I feel like a spooky Barbie could exist.
28:41
Yeah, most high and these kind of you know, blah blah blah.
28:45
The only thing that alerts me of that is its name is so long,
28:48
but everything else is like cool Aid Barbie, locked Martin Barbie, blah
28:52
blah blah. Yeah. Thought, I do feel like some of them,
28:56
some of the places that places were like weirdly named, like really elaborately named
29:02
like that, so I could see it being real. I just don't know
29:06
if they would call Barbby like what was it like, mistress it was,
29:08
yeah, haunted beauty, mistress of the manor Barby. Well maybe mistress of
29:14
the manor maybe. Yeah. I feel like kool Aid Barbie because remember like
29:18
all the water changing like toy sets that we came out when we were kids.
29:22
Yeah, yeah that's true. Yeah that could be. There was a
29:27
lot of water, lot of warring kids toys. Yeah. I doing with
29:33
that one just to see if one of them is right. Yeah, sure,
29:36
okay, okay, yeah, you're gonna go. You're gonna go with
29:37
Koolate Barbi is one of them. Kool Aid Barby was real. Yeah,
29:41
absolutely one of the early product tie In Barbies. Nice. Really you got
29:47
a point there. You have remaining hog Farmer Barbie, George Washington Barbie,
29:52
Haunted Beauty Mistress of the manor Barbie, and Lockheed Martin Barbie. Are you
29:56
familiar with Lockheed Martin? Oh? Yeah, as a as a company,
30:00
I am not. Okay, so we have them here. Lockheed Martin,
30:03
from what I understand, is an aerospace based company that does engineering on a
30:11
lot of military contracts as well. Okay, okay, that's what I Yeah,
30:18
And I mean, this is one of those ones where I could see
30:22
Matt being like, uh, the military industrial complex, capitalism. That's a
30:27
fun Matt said, yeah, that's a good joke of But I could also
30:37
see it being honestly real because Lockheed Martin, I don't know, there's like
30:41
air Stewardess Barbie or something like that. Right, Yeah, there's there's a
30:45
big, big difference between being an astutes and making yea yeah, this Barbie
30:53
helps you in the sky, this Barbie's drone strikes. It could have been
30:56
framed as like a Delbos moment. Yeah, like yeah, you know,
31:00
like yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like, do you ever see
31:06
Barbie being a hog Farmer. Honestly, yeah, I feel I do kind
31:10
of feel like that one's real. I feel like I feel like hog Farmer
31:12
is a little bit specific. I feel like Farmer Bobby I could find of
31:18
I could see how they could make those outfits cute, you know, like
31:21
the overalls and like you know, she's like getting out yeah you know,
31:25
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it. I'm going with
31:26
hog Farmer Bobby. Yeah, that's incorrect. I'm so sorry. Frozen out
31:32
of the list. Hog Farmer Bobby was made up? What were the ones
31:33
that were real? You found coool aid Bobby. You also had George Washington.
31:37
Bobby was real, just dressed up like George Washington. Yeah, that's
31:41
crazy. Haunted Beauty Mistress of the Man of Bobby was also trade It was
31:48
real, real, Okay, okay, Martin was a mat Yeah, I'm
31:55
glad we would have been wrong either way. Were the ones we were discovering.
31:57
So yes, it's all yeah, there we go. Okay, No,
32:00
No, it's tough. These there's so many things that barbies. I
32:04
feel like Bobby did have a little pig, and there we shows a hog
32:07
Farmer. He definitely had a little pig. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
32:16
not Hog Farmer Barbie, Bobbie. Look just one pig title micro Pig Owner
32:23
Barbie problematic. Yeah, pretty much. Start keeping up the trend. Let's
32:31
let's move on to Sugar's Daddies, and here is your list of Barbie playsets.
32:37
Nike Barbie, Rapping Rockin Barbie, Oreo Barbie, Taylor Swift Barbie,
32:44
and Happy Birthday Can Barbie. I know one of these. M I know
32:50
Oreo Barbie is real, Okay, that's as far as I go. But
32:54
I think Taylor Swift Bobby is fake. Okay, cool, cook, cook
32:59
cool? So I mean, do you want to do you want to punt
33:00
for the real one? Yeah, we can. We can lock in the
33:04
Oreo Barbie then yeah, I'll just won't raise any suspense. It's already correct.
33:08
Yes, good stuff. Yes, what do you know about Oreo Bobby.
33:14
There was one released in ninety something, and then early two thousands they
33:22
did another release. I know this because they the nineties one was only a
33:27
white Barbie, and then they made both a white and a black Barbie,
33:30
and so I saw all of them, yeah, all of and it was
33:37
one of those specific releases in which Barbie was not white. Is hence on
33:40
the problematic ende. So, like, what what made her Oreo Bobby?
33:46
Was she dressed like an Oreo or like she was dressed like an Ion?
33:50
Yeah, all in like that bright blue and white, and like there was
33:54
like Oreo logos on her jacket and like her purse might have been an Oreo.
34:00
You actually, yeah, I would. I would get an Oreo bok.
34:04
I would. Yeah. I'm glad you guys think so, because I'm
34:07
listening to and this is the original white Barbie, right because I'm listening to
34:10
this and I'm like, thank god they put the Oreo logo on it,
34:14
because otherwise she's cream in the middle Barbie. Not great naming or yeah,
34:21
yeah, the the messy things that happen when you combine one brand with another
34:24
to try and sell products. Yeah, it's just a crossover episode gone wrong.
34:30
So you've got you've got Oreo Bobby. You have remaining Nike Bobbie,
34:35
Rappin' Rockin' Barbie, Taylor Swift Barbie, and Happy Birthday Can Barbie. I
34:42
believe Rappin' rockin and also Happy Birthday Can would be real. I to have
34:46
a birthday. He must, he simply must. It's something else for Bobby
34:53
to organize. Yeah, I do feel like I have some vague memory of
34:59
rappin rocking Barbie. Yeah, I had a I saw, well, I
35:02
didn't have it, but I saw a tour van once that they had like
35:07
a dream house and it was a van like for so that it's fun.
35:14
I feel like there was an advert where Bobby, like I had a guitar
35:16
and it was like a spinny platform. M hm, yes, I saw
35:21
that you could you could yeah, m So, I feel like Rappin' rock
35:24
and Barbie feels the most tangible to me. Yeah, I'm embarrassing if I'm
35:30
wrong. Up collective delusion Hotel. I remember this commercial of Oreo Barbie.
35:42
You dipped her in milk and then so you're going with rapping rock and Bobbie
35:49
is reel. Yeah, rapping rock and Bobbie is reel. Okay, very
35:52
much a product of the late eighties. Sounds like that means that, But
35:58
it was not for that Bobby. That was for that was a separate Oh
36:00
yeah, of course, yeah, yeah, it must have been an updated
36:04
version. I never had the like tour bus, but they got me one
36:07
of the Barbies and she had like blonde hair. In the front, but
36:10
you could spin her skull. Okay, her hair pink in the front,
36:17
so that she had like so you could just like her skull. A lot
36:23
of body horror and people and with womanhoods. Yeah, yeah, so true.
36:30
Yeah, to know it early on. Yeah, Okay, So we've
36:37
got Nike Bobby, Taylor Swift Bobby and happy birthday, can Bobby since you
36:42
had a memory of potentially a happy birthday? Can no memory. I just
36:47
feel like the Nike also would make sense because she could be sporty, and
36:54
Nike does all of those things where it's like, oh, anyone can be
36:59
you know, they have those like inspiration adverts. They go for that.
37:02
It's a similar branding style. Yeah, like do anything you want to do.
37:07
Yeah, that's it. Just want to say to me a matter like
37:12
Nike has a very famous slogan and hing it right now. You guys are
37:16
like, yeah, whatever you if you can Nike, you have it.
37:21
You're aware they didn't pay me. I'm not saying that is very fair,
37:30
but as far as an answer is concerned, just do it. Thank you.
37:37
Yeah, let's go with that one. You go with Nike Bobby.
37:39
Yeah, Nike Bobby is not real real. It was branding opportunity. You
37:52
really should team up with Nike. It was Happy Birthday, Ken, Bobby
37:55
was the was the real one. It's the It's the whole maral Monroe singing
38:00
to JFK Things but done in Barbie Topical barbiees JFK the Ultimate Ken Wild and
38:14
Taylor Swift had her own line of Barbie style dolls in the two thousands that
38:19
are just like they're basically Barbie's, but they're not official. That's Wild.
38:22
Good on. All right, Well, let's let's move on to the next
38:24
category and back on over to Barbie's nuts. This time it is Barbie straight
38:30
to DVD movies. Come on, come on, let's go. Three are
38:35
reel, two are fake. Maybe this one will be a bit more quick
38:37
fire and rapid. Who knows. Here are your five straight to DVD movie
38:42
titles. Barbie in Princess Power, Barbie Epic Road Trip, Barbie and the
38:47
Crystal Fairies, Barbie Space Command, and Barbie and the Magic of the Pegasus.
38:54
Oh my god, Lydia's face right now? Is I know for a
38:58
fact? I know for a fact Magic of Pegasus is real because there is
39:01
a little polar bear in it. Called Shiver and I had her, I
39:06
had the physical Oh yeah, yeah, So that one, I know for
39:12
a fact is real and it absolutely is Bobby in the Magic of the Pegasus.
39:15
There you go, there's a point nice heck. Yeah. The other
39:19
ones, I feel like we're a little bit later than my time watching because
39:24
I don't really recognize what do you think? What do you think sounds real?
39:29
Space Command is the name of buzz Lightyears thing, So it isn't that.
39:34
Yeah, so that's either super duper fake. Oh no, isn't it?
39:37
Is it not stock Command, not space Comman? Oh shit, you're
39:40
right, So it could be. It could be real. It would be
39:45
Crystal Fairy sounds real because you because earlier we mentioned that there were fairies at
39:49
one point. Yeah, but none of the fairy films look called that.
39:52
So I'm sort of like, is this just like a just Matt trying to
39:55
be tricksy, you know, yeah, trying to throw us up? And
40:02
what was the other one? You got Bobby in Princess Power and Bobbie Epic
40:07
road Trip in Princess Power, because like Barbie would hop on the superhero superheroin
40:12
train, right, Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I do feel like because
40:15
A lot of them are like Bobby in Something because like all of the straight
40:21
to DVD movies, she's not Bobby. She is Bobby the actress in these
40:25
films. So she's playing she's Bobby as an actress. Play. Yeah,
40:32
she's another layer, a whole layer. Yeah. So I feel like that
40:37
one could be real based on okay, based on that, but I don't
40:42
want to. I was wrong the last time, so I don't want to.
40:45
I'll take the hits. I'll take the hit. So it's Bobby in
40:49
Princess Power is the one you going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
40:52
this is correct. This is a real movie. I think you're right.
40:53
I think it was a low key superhero kind kind of one. Okay,
40:58
okay, okay, Crystal Ferries we don't feel great about. And you've
41:02
got Space Command and Epic road Trip. Epic road Trip the other I could
41:07
do it because it's in Space Command, isn't it Bobby Colon Space Command?
41:12
So it's like Space Command and it's Barbie Colon Epic road Trip. I chose
41:17
one. I don't know if I've ever seen them, and don't if I've
41:21
ever seen any Bobby movie stylized that way to be honest, Actually that's not
41:27
true. The ones that I was talking about where I was like Fairies,
41:30
it was like Bobby Ferry Tolpia and like Bobby Mermaidia. So I feel like
41:35
that could also be that could also be real. Barby Space Command, Bobby
41:40
Space Command. Sure, I made Bobby Space Command up those exact same things
41:46
it was. But Bobby Epic road Trip is the is the one that was
41:50
real. I didn't go to that because it sounds mad boring, like what
41:53
is Bobby on the Road Trip? But could be that interesting? Yeah,
41:58
it was released in like twenty seventeen at like the Drums of the Barbie Brandy,
42:05
But you didn't go for Bobbie in the Crystal Fairies, correctly recognizing that
42:07
I've kind of made something up the other things, you got two points the
42:13
good. Yeah, we'll move on over to Sugar's Daddy's and they're five titles
42:17
from direct to DVD Barbie movies. We have Bobbie and the Pink Dress,
42:22
Bobbie and the Diamond Castle, Bobbie Video Game Hero, Bobbie in Rock and
42:30
Royals, or Bobbie Raptor Races. Literally every single one of these seems so
42:37
fake to me and it's Yeah, it's a tough list. Rapture Races.
42:45
Some reason feels real. We could take a big swing if it is.
42:52
That's sick. I feel like in for me, it has to be either
42:59
pink Dress or Diamond Castle. I don't know why I have that in my
43:01
head that it has to be one of those must be real because they feel
43:06
so linked to me. Okay, so those are our leads, Raptor Racers
43:14
or one of those two. Do you want to take a swing? Yeah,
43:19
Stu, Pink Castle, Diamond Castle castle. We've got pink Dress or
43:24
Diamond Castle. I will have to ask you to pick between the two.
43:30
Diamond Castle, Diamond Castle. You're taken a swing on Diamond Castle. It's
43:34
real, Bobbie and the Diamond Castle is real good stuff. Yeah, there
43:37
you go. It happened in like two thousand nine. You've taken the punt.
43:43
Now you've got you've got a point. Whatever happens now just happens.
43:46
So you've got Barbbie in the pink dress, Bobbie video game Hero, Bobbie
43:52
in Rock and Royals or Bobbie Raptor Racers d Game Hero also sounds real.
44:00
Yeah, those modern ones where they're like, actually, she is good at
44:02
computers. Ce do we want to go for a video game? Yeah,
44:08
let's try it going with Video Game Hero. That's real. Yeah, probably
44:14
for the exact same reasons. They were like, we need to make her
44:16
motto. Yeah. The plot of Video Game Hero is just Audra sitting behind
44:21
a computer crying about how she can't save a dog. That it's not the
44:27
motto whow. She tries to make a video game and then can't do it
44:29
and goes then as londs of men. Yeah, that will be not the
44:34
one that I'm referencing, where she's like, I can't work computers. Yes,
44:37
she has an idea for a video game for Skipper. She's like,
44:40
you're making a video game. She's like, oh no, I couldn't do
44:44
that. I'm going to go talk to the boys, Bill and John because
44:49
they can work computers. And then they have to meet in the coffee shop
44:52
because she's like, I keep trying to send the file but it keeps crashing
44:55
my computer. Can you show me how to send a file? And so
45:00
that's not video game here. Yeah, that was some some that they did
45:08
at some point in time, I think, but it was it was rough
45:12
and so I guess they went with video game Hero to salvage Barbie's technological reputation.
45:19
Yeah, and they did. So you only have one real one left
45:23
to find. We have Bobby and the pink dress, Bobby in Rock and
45:29
Royals, or Bobby Raptor Races, Raptor Racers, Raptor ignoring the chanting going
45:37
on in the room, It was your initial instinct. We've got to right,
45:42
I'm willing to take a like, just go for it. I wanted
45:45
to be real m, You're just gonna like will it into existence? That
45:50
was like, yeah, yeah's already tried to do that earlier in the episode.
45:53
She's she's imagining a commercial right now, Barbie's on a Raptors on a
45:59
blue Raptor is happening. Yeah, all right, so rapt Races, Let
46:04
go for it. Yeah, rap to Racers, it's real. It's not
46:08
real. I'm really and it's I mean, I tried to think of something
46:16
that was like really ridiculous and out there for the Barbie brand, But that
46:20
still sounds plausible because it's got alliteration. What about that? I just I
46:24
was like, also very briefly, I used they them pronouns. Yeah,
46:30
Okay, yeah, my bad, it's okay. I just wanted to really
46:32
quickly. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, my bad. I'm sorry,
46:37
No, it's okay. I just wanted to say thank you. The final
46:40
pass on this round is for Barbie's supporting characters. So these are people from
46:46
the official Barbie Universe according to the Barbie Wicki combination of both toys and media.
46:53
Okay, so here is your list. Barbie's Nuts, Margaret Roberts,
47:00
Anne, Marie, Lacy, Milania Carefree, what the and trichell. Okay,
47:08
Lacy feels real to me. Lacy is one real. I don't know
47:13
if she's in the I recently made everyone watch a couple of the Bobby DVDs
47:20
on my birthday before we went to see the New Bobby movie, and one
47:22
of them was Bobby and the Twelve Dancing Princesses and one of her little sisters.
47:27
In that one of the twelve Dancing Princesses is called Lacy, So I
47:30
know for a fact that she is real. Lacy is real. It's going
47:34
to be a point the Lacy I have here, even though absolutely I'm sure
47:37
there's more than one. Lacy is Bobby's. Bobby's Chihuahua is called Lacy.
47:43
That's so interesting that we reuse the name, Yeah, because I'm pretty sure
47:49
that like Lacy is used a couple of times as like Bobby character's little sister,
47:52
like a couple. It's like the same animation and it's like the same
47:57
you know, it's meant to be like the same child actress the universe that
48:00
like please her sister Bobbies, like, you're gonna be named after my dog?
48:06
Yeah, good stuff. You've got Margaret Roberts and Marie Milannia Carefree and
48:13
Trichelle. It can't be Milannia Carefree. There's no, it just can't.
48:20
It would really hurt my feelings if that was If that was true, maybe
48:24
Margaret Margaret's no input here or maybe like Trichelle sounds like like some kind of
48:35
villain in one of the more like modern ones where it would be like,
48:37
you know, like the meme girl kind of vibe. Yeah, by the
48:40
whole movie is just tell you're such a bitch, But I'm Bobby. I
48:46
believe you. Basically, I believe you're gonna go with You're gonna go with
48:51
Trachelle Yeah, sure, okay, why not? Yeah, Lydia Lydia created
48:58
a whole narrative, so I'm Trachelle is real, but it only reveals more
49:02
about Lydia's personal views. Trachelle was introduced as Bobby's first African American friend.
49:07
If you if you, if you see her as a villain, that's a
49:14
that's your own personal point, that's okay. The villains always just have like
49:19
contrasting names. Yeah, yeah, like a tin offer, you know,
49:22
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah like that, yeah, exactly, yeah,
49:27
And I haven't seen any of it. Was she in the like one
49:29
of the newer is she like she's a dollar a doll introduce in the nineties?
49:35
Oh okay, you mentioned Margaret might be a name. Yeah, I
49:38
kind of like the vibe of Margaret. I feel like she would be.
49:43
I don't know, that sounds like something that would be in one of the
49:45
all the ones, but she does also isn't isn't Bobby's last name Robert?
49:53
Is that? I can't say anything that thing I think it is? I
49:57
think, I think I think her name is like Barbara Robert. I think
50:04
that's her official actual name. Yeah, I think, so you're going with
50:08
Margaret Roberts. I have no context. But then but then, but then
50:14
I don't know because they only have a really introduced her little sister, so
50:17
I don't know if she has other family members in the in the law,
50:20
you know, like an aunt Margaret. You know, we all have an
50:22
aunt Margaret. We all do. Yeah, we all listen. Yeah,
50:29
if we're going off the basis of everyone has an aunt Margaret, it's almost
50:31
Bobby. Then I'm fine with that. Sure, Margaret Roberts is real.
50:40
Bobby's mom O her mom. Okay, I was close. He has a
50:45
mom. So that's three. Yeah, that's all three, correct, Ann,
50:50
Marie and Melianna carefree than thank god? Alright, three for three?
50:57
Good stuff. Yeah, first, see if it can be repeated with Sugar's
51:01
daddy's and the final list the secondary characters from the Barbie universe whatever that means.
51:07
And here are your names. You have Ryan Sherwood, Quti, Lady
51:15
Bird, Pepperton, s Quinn, and Destiny. I think Destiny is real
51:22
and also Tutti also real. Yeah, do you want to go for Tutti
51:28
first? Then yeah, let's go for that since we both have a memory
51:30
of Tuti. Okay, yeah, yeah, Tutti is real. Tutti is
51:36
Bobbie's discontinued younger sister discontinue dead younger sisters? Does Bobby have Margaret was busy
51:47
good stuff with Tuti. I mean we can go for destiny since that's another
51:51
one. Yeah, a memory of another sister. Yeah, it's a memory,
51:57
but it feels like it should be destiny. The energies and it is
52:06
drawing you towards destiny, and so go with destiny. Destiny is not real,
52:12
so sorry, yeah, destiny. The made up Lady Peppercorn. Lady
52:20
Pepperton is the FAKECRN as well. Ryan Sherwood is real. It just says
52:25
in brackets on the Wikipedia page unknown boy child, that's me. That's relatable.
52:35
And then Sequin was another one of Bobby's dogs. This time Bobby's French
52:39
poodle was called Sequin. I did. I didn't know that. I was
52:43
thinking in my mind. I was like, I know the answers to this,
52:45
and I'm really mad, but this wasn't. I mean, I don't
52:47
know why I'm mad. I got all the answers right in the gate leapers.
52:53
That's the end of round one. Let's ask math Barbie to calculate the
52:58
latest scores. She do anything so why is she doing this? The scores
53:04
are Barbie's Nuts are on six points, but Sugar's Daddies are just behind with
53:07
five points. Up Next is round two, but first we've got to play
53:13
some smart ads, and if they're working, as Mattel intends, you're about
53:16
to be sold a lot of plastic, beautiful, planet destroying plastic. Round
53:29
two is called pitch battle. Don't worry, I'm not going to make anyone
53:32
sing on a podcast, although that that would be very me, wouldn't it
53:37
That one day, one day, Brand Barbie has been revitalized and Mattel owes
53:44
Greta go wig big time, big time. So I'd like our players to
53:47
think like hyper capitalist media executives and rapidly pitch ideas about the future of the
53:53
brand. I'll then hand out points for clever or funny or weird answers based
53:59
on I don't know when, I'll just throw them out randomly throughout. So
54:05
your first question is this gret Us out? But the studio system marches on
54:09
Bobby too? What's it all about? Who's it about? Any who?
54:14
Would you like to be the main character? Alan? Oh? Yeah?
54:17
Alan? Nice? You want to see more? Michael Sarah always yea.
54:22
I think it's a body horror along the vibe of teeth that came out about
54:30
Bobby's nip out and vagina. Yes, yes, yes, the seed yea.
54:38
From the final scene. There the number of pickup in the guyancolgist office,
54:44
you just pick up right there. The number of gynecological appointments it is.
54:46
I looked it up. It is harder to get an appointment because so
54:50
many women are actually doing it and taking their health seriously. That's a really
54:54
good so it is very relevant. Should I see my guy in ecologist?
55:04
You're guys guy Kenlenges, all right. I don't think we're going to top
55:14
answers about that. I think that the teeth thread is it is a good
55:16
one to go down with Bobby too. Here's another here's another pitch for you.
55:21
Plastic is back and it's fantastic. So what's the must have Bobby Christmas
55:25
gift this year? What's what's a Barbie doll for twenty twenty three? Work
55:29
from home Barbie? Yeah, that's that's the that's the works. Maybe get
55:34
the fuck back to the office, Barby. Oh yeah yeah yeah. Girls
55:37
in a Bobby, Girls in Bobby really good. Yeah, that is really
55:45
good. I like, like microplastics Barbie, like she's got like a fishing
55:49
net. Yeah, you just you just it's a pool and so we're bringing
55:52
back the water features into toys. Yeah, and it's meta while still destroying
55:57
the earth. You can sist the microplastics out of the washing machine yourself.
56:01
Here's a there's a sea turtle and its name is Gemini and it's kind of
56:10
plastic bag stuck over his head that people will buy that. Yeah, you
56:15
can save him. Yep. I think that one's won that one, unless
56:21
anyone's got any more topical ideas for for twenty twenty three, Barbie turtle hyperinflation
56:27
Barby heras to a Bobbie. I would buy that, for sure. I
56:32
would buy You can play with it for over three hours and it won't break
56:38
like four hundred dollars. Yeah, yeah, okay, your next prompt.
56:44
Barbie can no longer be pink due to a lawsuit from the Susan G.
56:47
Coleman Foundation. What color is Barbie now? Blue? Next question? I
56:55
joke. I just wanted to do that. I mean my argument would be,
57:00
I think when she has her existential crisis where she's like it's like sitting
57:05
flat on the ground and then just like falls over. I think she isn't
57:07
like a light teal blue and then the yeah a Barbie of that outfit.
57:14
Okay, yeah, depression Bobby, Yeah, yes, yeah, the purple
57:20
because of the Pegasus. Yeah, you would go with the peg chariot.
57:23
It was purple too. Yeah. I think that whole film was just they
57:27
had like a purple tip. I think it was like, it wasn't a
57:30
good purple. It was like this horrible, sickly purple, thickly we just
57:38
ate that ship up though it violet. Yeah, Honestly, every talking about
57:47
Bobby does give me this weird taste in my mouth. And I don't know
57:50
whether it's because of the amount of Bobbies I chewed on as a child,
57:53
it's because of its and it's actually it's not a sicky color. It's just
57:58
that I ate part. Yeah, he ate too much good stuff. Okay,
58:06
here's another one which celebrity could have played a Ken but didn't play a
58:09
Ken, And for a bonus point, which ken would that can be?
58:13
Which were the hymnbos that were left out? I don't know any man,
58:19
I feel the one man I know and we'll throw him in the Barbie universe.
58:25
I feel like we could have a Rob Mcklehenny as a Ken and his
58:30
job is just pub that's his jobs. Job is just pubb both because he's
58:36
getting really into the UK since he is acquired a a football team, and
58:40
also it's always Donny Sunny in Philadelphia they run a pub, So I think
58:45
he would just be His job would be pub yeah, good, good popular
58:50
contemporary hymbo good contemporary hymbo knowledge. Yeah. I think I would have liked
58:54
some like Scottish Ken representation. Yeah. You said earlier that that Ellen and
59:01
I were both in England. I am in fact of Scotland, is true
59:06
the clarification I do live here now, So I would have like, maybe
59:13
like David Tennant as a Ken like that would be I would like Kennon David
59:17
Tennant, Yeah exactly. That's how we would be credited. He would be
59:23
David Kennon time traveling Barby maybe oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's an
59:30
exactly, that's the premise of the question. Anything he would live in like
59:34
a tardest dream house, that would be yeah, yeah, which is a
59:37
bit bigger on the inside than it is looks like, yeah, exactly,
59:46
do a pink Tardest right? That was like a they did like a no,
59:52
like it was like a marketing barby. That's a little I refuse.
59:58
I know there's like some guffar coming out of my voice, but I'm not
1:00:00
laughing at that. I broke immediately. That was an episode where they landed
1:00:09
somewhere where everybody had to be pretty or something, and they did paint the
1:00:14
Tardest pink in that episode. It was like yeah, from Classic Who.
1:00:17
And then they like, wasn't in the companion stays the doctor like aren't you
1:00:22
bothered by this? And he was like, no, it's fine. Obviously,
1:00:24
I love it when the Tardest plays, so it's absolutely fine. That's
1:00:29
what I seem to remember. Yeah, I'd like to see nineteen seventies.
1:00:34
I love it when the Tardest. Yes, Yeah, I'd love to see
1:00:39
like Terry Crews, not as like the main Ken, but a Ken,
1:00:43
Yeah, because I just love his explosive power and like Terry, Who's is
1:00:46
very much about like get in touch with your feminine side, like yes,
1:00:50
let's show you. I think him as a Ken would be pretty good.
1:00:52
He'd be he'd be a good, good they wasted John Cena as like a
1:00:57
two second cameo, oh, I'm not human that he Ken that John Cena
1:01:00
should have been somebody else. But no, you you're saying that his role
1:01:05
should have been expanded within the Barbie Cinematic University. How you would have scored
1:01:09
ten points for that first question if you'd have said, it's all about Mermaid
1:01:12
Barbie Bobby two is all about John Cena. Okay, here's another one.
1:01:17
In Barbie twenty twenty three. Does Michael Sarah's Alan represent male ally ship,
1:01:22
asexuality or both or neither? Is Alan like an extra terrestrial being? Like
1:01:28
is the outside? Feels like an entity in that movie? Okay, so
1:01:31
Nia feels like he's Yeah, I do feel ladies father. Yeah, yeah,
1:01:38
I always see so he's done it. Yeah, I always see that's
1:01:45
what we've gone from this movie. He's the only one with a penis have
1:01:50
the detachable plastic bellies to prove it. Yeah, since Ken and Barbie are
1:01:54
like, we should go back to your house, but they have no idea
1:01:57
why. I always see Alan as someone who's seen the matrix, like he
1:02:01
knows he's the only person here who knows what sex is and so he's just
1:02:06
like everything is just like lines of green code when everybody else is living in
1:02:12
pink code. Yes, pink code over everybody else's job as beach. Yeah
1:02:20
nice, all right, so neither but points for both teams that name one
1:02:24
item in your life that has to be Bobby Pink forever. There are very
1:02:29
few things in my life that I wouldn't allow to be Barbie Pink. You
1:02:34
know, I'm gonna be honest. Okay, I like my little I smoked
1:02:38
weed from do that? Do that be Bobby? Yeah? Yeah, you
1:02:44
know, so every time I smoke it do the drugs, I get transported
1:02:46
to Barbie Land and I think about that. Yeah. You know, Barbie
1:02:50
can be anything, including just a stoner, just a lazy person, yeah
1:02:55
Barbie. Yeah yeah. My hair, honestly, would be great if my
1:03:00
hair could just if you could achieve that color on your hair, it would
1:03:02
be impressed. It would be wild Bobby pink calf for about a day,
1:03:08
okay, yeah, and then then then it start a face yeah exactly.
1:03:13
Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, if you could maintain that
1:03:17
pink, that would be impressive. Yeah, if I was allowed to,
1:03:21
if it wasn't anti the professional world to have pink Yeah, you know,
1:03:27
he needs to come and defend my right to have pink. Caroline show up
1:03:31
in her cowboy outfit like it is and be like, do you think I'm
1:03:37
not a professional because I'm just like a cowboy. Yeah, that's what I'm
1:03:40
going to say to my workplace when I bring my weed pen into work.
1:03:45
I can't do this. You're not a professional. You're jobnistic. Yeah,
1:03:52
and then there's so many things to impact that as you and say that.
1:03:58
Okay. And finally, as someone who largely presents as ken, am I
1:04:00
doing okay? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, You're so
1:04:06
brave. You're so braved, you're doing grave. Thank you said that.
1:04:13
Okay, that's the end of the round. Let's distract ourselves from thinking about
1:04:16
dying by looking at the latest scores. And Sugar's Daddies have done a little
1:04:20
bit of a leap frog as they're on thirteen points with Barbie's Nuts on twelve
1:04:26
points. Still close, still very close, still very very close. Anyone
1:04:30
could win. Round three is next, But first, some commercials. You
1:04:35
sat through a two hour commercial for Gretta, so I sit through two minutes
1:04:39
for us. Sounds like a Threat. Round three is called Wicky What It's
1:04:48
the game where we deep dive into the specific knowledge of the highly policed Barbie
1:04:54
fandom. Wicky. It's it's a very conservative space. I'll tell you that
1:04:57
right now. That really. Yeah, they on the Barbie movie thing.
1:05:01
There's lots of things about how it's a missandrist movie produced by Yeah, it's
1:05:08
people who hate men. Yeah. To be honest, I don't think there
1:05:12
was enough messandry in that film. I was expecting a lot more. And
1:05:15
there was very very nice to the cans nice. Yeah, it's a lot
1:05:20
of really awful stuff. And in the end it was like, oh,
1:05:23
yeah, you just kind of like brainwash and overthrow the government, force everybody
1:05:30
to be you're weird sexually charged maids. Yeah, and she felt she felt
1:05:36
so bad about breaking up with him. Yeah, he did. I think
1:05:42
that was the most realistic party where you're like trying not to like hut a
1:05:45
men's feelings for fear of them murdering you. Yeah, he overthrew the government.
1:05:53
I think you're allowed to dump him. Yeah, but I can change
1:05:58
him. I can sit. She shouldn't have to. That's why it was
1:06:03
such a good movie. So in turn, I'll read our teams an extract
1:06:10
from the Barbie Wickie or the Barbickie, but there'll be a missing word or
1:06:15
phrase. I'll then give our teams three options for the missing text, choose
1:06:17
the right answer, and score a point. We will start with Barbie's Nuts.
1:06:23
The original Barbie doll was revealed at the New York Toy Fair on March
1:06:27
ninth, nineteen fifty nine, and it was sold for three dollars. Barbie's
1:06:30
hair was in a signature ponytail, and she wore a black and white swimsuit.
1:06:34
The first commercial ed during an episode of Blank, a Woody Woodpecker and
1:06:41
Friends, be the Mickey Mouse Club or see Leave It to Beaver? I
1:06:47
Don't Thank You? Was Mickey Mouse Club Lydia. Yeah, I would be
1:06:51
inclined to It's either the Woody Woodpecker one or what Leave It to Beaver?
1:07:01
Leave It to Beaver an American show I've been wanting to bring up for so
1:07:04
long on this podcast, and I finally saw an opportunity to why you had
1:07:10
a show in the nightteen fifties called Leave It to Beaver. It's tough.
1:07:14
It's tough because I don't know anything about either of those shows. So I
1:07:17
don't know what would be you know, appropriate to be shown. What were
1:07:24
you what were you initially leaning towards? And we'll we'll just go with them.
1:07:29
Okay, Okay, I think I was leaning towards I'm gonna say leave
1:07:32
it to Beaver. Okay, Yeah, I think leave it to Beaver because
1:07:36
again, like the origin of Barbie was that she was based off of a
1:07:41
more adult icon. It wasn't even a toy yet, so I think,
1:07:45
yeah, that they were trying to market to kids for sure, but just
1:07:48
still not towards infants, if that makes any sense, like not young children.
1:07:54
So I think leave it to Beaver might got better than the woody Woodpecker.
1:07:57
Yeah, I'm happy with that logic. It's good logic, but it's
1:08:01
not right. Damn it. It's actually the Mickey mouse Club. It is
1:08:06
during the Mickey mouse Club. Damn it target the kids. Yeah, yeah,
1:08:14
sorry, Lydia and then Ryan Gosling was one of the Mickey mouse Club
1:08:19
at one point. Full the conspirall theories begin, the conspiracy theory. Oh
1:08:30
there we go, endless well of pun based humor. Yea, this is
1:08:34
my contribution. Actually, it's a fine contribution. Okay, we will move
1:08:42
over. So Sugar's daddies, here is your here's your extract extract, like
1:08:45
it's an encyclopedia. Here's your extract, and the here is and your three
1:08:49
options. In nineteen sixty one, Ken was introduced as Barbie's boyfriend and was
1:08:55
the first male character. Ken was named after Ruth Handler's Was it her husband,
1:09:01
her son, or her miniature schnauzer. I think it's some That's what
1:09:06
my instinct says. I should have read this while I was looking at all
1:09:11
the Barbie stuff, but I do not remember. I do think it would
1:09:13
be one of those weird things of like I named these two dolls after my
1:09:16
kids and then they date. I think son is less weird than husband.
1:09:25
Yeah, because then it's husband, and yeah that's the most weird. Yeah,
1:09:35
so they're all weird, but we both have this weird thing of maybe
1:09:39
it being the sun. Okay, yeah, going for her son, Well
1:09:44
it's weird either way, but yes it is her son. Yeah, Ken
1:09:46
named after her son. I'm usually at a pub quiz right now in my
1:09:51
wife and last week there was that exact question where it was like, what
1:09:56
there's like the children's names where it was like that they like Barbara and then
1:10:00
obviously like Kennel. Kenneth was his name. I guess still is. I
1:10:04
don't know if you saw, but we we were like there was no like
1:10:10
multiple choice, and we were like, oh no, it'd be way too
1:10:13
creepy if it was if it was a son, and so we did not
1:10:15
we didn't say that. Yeah, yeah, damn, but I didn't know
1:10:20
that ample. So I would be hurt if my parents made like a hit
1:10:27
doll and named it after my sibling and didn't give me anything. I would
1:10:30
be like, excuse me, it is my name, nothing to you,
1:10:32
yeah, image, yeah, yeah. I feel like their life for siblings
1:10:40
must be so weird, like because their names are just always together as like
1:10:45
people who are fucking like phonomically, so like they must. I feel like
1:10:49
he must go by his middle name like I personally would be Midge, and
1:10:58
yeah, yeah, don't make it weird. Siblings are just grinding their flat
1:11:01
crops. Yeah, that's true, that is totally fine. That's yeah.
1:11:05
Yeah. And also, has any child ever actually made kenn Barbie date?
1:11:12
It was always Bobby Bobby, right, Bobby Bobby? Yeah? That would
1:11:16
I don't know what, yeah, yeah, I think occasionally my Bobby's would
1:11:24
date him so that they can have an affair with a Bobbie. Oh my
1:11:27
god, I love that. I love this trend since Barbie of seeing online
1:11:35
that like everyone's like, oh yeah, Barbe, Like girls play with Barbies,
1:11:39
Like, oh yeah, I'm dating Ken, but girls really play.
1:11:44
Oh my god, you cheated on me. I cannot believe that. I'm
1:11:46
taking the house. That's how this actually went fantastic. My mouth, my
1:11:56
jaw has been dropped for like five minutes. I'm not familiar with at all
1:12:01
anyone who played with Barbies. It was a soap opera. I can tell
1:12:06
you. Guys are all in like, yeah, the dog. Okay,
1:12:12
here's here's another question, another extract for Barby's nuts. Here it is.
1:12:15
During the holiday season two thousand and two, the Barbie Happy Family set was
1:12:20
removed from Walmart's two weeks before Christmas under intense scrutiny and accusations of promoting what
1:12:28
is it a body positivity, b interracial marriage or ce teen pregnancy? Oh?
1:12:38
What was the sorry? What was the set again? So it was
1:12:40
it was the Barby Happy Family Set. What would a Barbie teenager look compared
1:12:44
to Barbie. I guess. I don't know. I don't don't know that.
1:12:46
I do question they do make them look younger in the media. I
1:12:51
don't know how. I don't know if they would have like a teenage like
1:12:55
Bobby in the you know. And I don't think they would make up be
1:12:59
pregnant either, because the only pregnant one is Yeah, I could be America
1:13:03
being what it is, especially in two thousand and two, I could definitely
1:13:05
see the interracial thing being real. That was Yeah, that was my initial
1:13:13
initial thought. Brutal. Yeah, I mean we're both very towards that.
1:13:16
Do you want to do you want to go? Yeah, okay, yeah,
1:13:18
I'm happy to So you're going with b interracial marriage. Yeah, this
1:13:24
was a gately pass first. It's actually a trick question in that it's all
1:13:27
of the above reasons that people complained from different sectors of society. In two
1:13:31
thousand and two, it was the first set that so it was the it
1:13:35
was the set that came with the plastic pregnancy belly and contained like lots of
1:13:40
people people thought, oh yeah, teen pregnancy, So that was like the
1:13:43
main upright, But you could get sets where it was sometimes white Barbie,
1:13:46
sometimes black Barbie and people took issue with that and what that was apparently promoting.
1:13:51
And then the body positivity thing is that a lot of people referred to
1:13:57
the pregnant Barbie as fat Barbie. She's and we're like, oh, Bobby
1:14:00
shouldn't be fat so and yeah, exactly, not even when she's pregnant.
1:14:04
Yeah, when you're pregnant exactly. These were the complaints from Middle America in
1:14:11
two thousand and two. And yeah, so definitely a point there. I
1:14:15
gave you a really tough first question to kind of balance out that you would
1:14:17
have got to point there regardless. Okay, that doesn't feel like a complete
1:14:21
give me so ye okay, next question for Sugar's daddies here it is Skipper
1:14:29
Roberts is Barbie's younger sister. She usually has brown hair with colorful highlights.
1:14:33
She is a teenage who loves technology, gadgets, caring for children and animals,
1:14:40
and babysitting. And what is it a crumping be online blogging or c
1:14:47
scratch DJing? What's what's crumping? Crumping is a dance that will have been
1:15:00
popular around about the same time as online blogging and scratch dj Yeah, it's
1:15:03
really hard and not very interesting in podcast form at all. Yeah, but
1:15:10
for our ten patrons, I hope you enjoyed quick attempt at a crump Yeah,
1:15:15
is like crumping is also like your entire body. Yes, yea yeah,
1:15:19
quick isolated movements. I have no idea. I feel like online blogging
1:15:28
is the safe answer. Yeah, but also is that because because if she's
1:15:34
a child, should she be only encouraging children to be blogging online? That's
1:15:40
the sort of thing that like would I can imagine it being complained about and
1:15:45
it being like somewhat reasonable, like, yeah, you shouldn't. A child
1:15:48
should not just be sharing all of that life online. That's yeah, Hell
1:15:54
has a point. The youths should be crumping. Let them crumpings. I
1:16:09
know the Bobby just blog so it would make sense. Oh yeah, this
1:16:13
is this is Skipper Roberts, Bobbie's younger sister. It is a teenage.
1:16:19
Is a teenage? Teenagers do blog? They do? Yeah? Notoriously?
1:16:27
Yeah. Yeah. Tied for me is scratch DJ and online blogging. I
1:16:34
don't feel as much attachment to crumping. So that's my two. Yeah,
1:16:39
I'm going to go online blogger. Okay, online blogging, it's not online
1:16:44
blogging. It's scratch dj j oh Well, it's good for that teenage.
1:16:53
I thought it was a concern. I'm gonna let in a second, they
1:17:00
can't be blogging or Internet safety or given the complaints that America had in two
1:17:08
thousand and two, you can see why they'd be okay with blogging. Yeah,
1:17:12
it's very bottomouth the ice plug again. Yeah, the complexities of American
1:17:16
social politics. It's two British people. I can say things like that we
1:17:21
outnumber you. Okay, one final question, one final extract for each team.
1:17:31
Back over to Barbie's Nuts. Here it is, and this time we're
1:17:34
talking about the Barbie movie. So the trailer shot of Barbie taking off her
1:17:40
high heel inspired a Barbie foot challenge that podiatrists warned against. Another TikTok trend
1:17:46
had men changing their outfits after blank. Was it A riding a stick horse,
1:17:53
B stepping out of a corvette or C drinking a milkshake. I'm not
1:17:59
I'm not a youth. I don't I am and I think I authority.
1:18:06
I didn't. Yeah, I am not on the side of techtok. TikTok
1:18:13
knows that I don't want to see men It doesn't show them to me.
1:18:16
But I feel like I may have seen a single video where there was a
1:18:21
man riding a thick course and I don't know if you changed his course l
1:18:25
after, but I feel like I have seen evidence that men on technok are
1:18:30
writing stick colses because of it's good, it's a great sentences, a sense
1:18:35
that twenty twenty three are you? Are you happy to go with that,
1:18:41
Jason? Yeah, I think I've seen a similar video, not on TikTok,
1:18:44
on an Orange site, but that's unrelated, okay, and will remain
1:18:49
private. Yeah, watching men ride on stick horses, yeah, and then
1:18:55
changing And I think I'm okay with that because again I'm not a youth.
1:19:00
I don't. Yeah, the TikTok's and the sounds and the trends. Yeah,
1:19:03
definitely still within the age demographic that they marketed TikTok app. But yeah,
1:19:09
I definitely am. I just I don't I don't get it. I
1:19:13
don't get it. It's it's what is what is cap? What is not
1:19:16
cap anymore? I don't know anymore? Yeah, yeah, yeah, using
1:19:19
words from twenty nineteen, So you're going with riding a stick horse as the
1:19:26
TikTok trend that men did. It's not It's not this. It might have
1:19:30
just been really the one guy, yeah, the the big one. Like
1:19:36
everything on TikTok was started by a brand. It was a big thing for
1:19:41
cold Stone Creamery where there was a Barbie milkshake that men would drink and then
1:19:47
change their clothes really fast to be pink, as though the Barbie milkshake was
1:19:51
making them pink, made them pink. I see the yassification of men on
1:19:58
TikTok byer yes, by Barbie. Yeah, we go see the vision opposite
1:20:02
side of the Grimace shake. Yes, equal an opposite to Grimace. Okay,
1:20:11
One final question for Sugar's daddies. Here it is in the UK View
1:20:16
Cinemas announced a limited addition tango ice blast flavor inspired by Barbie called Barbie tang
1:20:24
Ice Blast. As well as this, they said they would give a free
1:20:28
regular popcorn to anyone who blank is it A brings a companion named Ken verified
1:20:34
by an official government I d B. Performs the dua Leaper Barbie TikTok dance
1:20:41
while holding the Barbie tang Ice Blast or c comes dressed as popcorn vendor Barbie.
1:20:46
That's a lot. I think it's got to be the can one.
1:20:48
I agree on the I do think it might be the Ken thing because they're
1:20:54
encouraging you to bring someone else like instead of buying one to the ugly thing.
1:21:00
Yeah, and also the other two are so annoying for everybody that works
1:21:06
there, and like somewhat easier, Like isn't it just a stripey shirt to
1:21:13
be popcorn vendor? Bobby you can find maybe maybe, but bring some empty
1:21:18
buckets and some fake popcorn. I don't know, you can Barbie dound really
1:21:23
easily. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just it's just regular clothes and
1:21:28
a Barby vibe. Yeah yeah, yeah, yep, I do. I
1:21:31
do think it would be the Ken one. If I were in a boardroom,
1:21:34
that's the one that I would pitch, or that's the one in a
1:21:38
low risk because ver Easy people are actually going to be able to take your
1:21:41
popcorn. M So you're going with a belief brings a companion named Ken Verify,
1:21:46
but an official government. I d yes, that is correct. Yeah.
1:21:49
I like how you mentioned about Oh yeah, that would be really annoying
1:21:53
for the employees, Whereas in America the cold Stole creamery people have to stand
1:21:58
there and watch a dupe change. You're like, fuck the employees. Yeah,
1:22:05
I say, do you remember working at Starbucks sad We'd have to pokemon
1:22:10
go bullshit and all this other weird ass drinks. Yeah, we got to
1:22:14
bullshit all the time. Oh yeah, yeah, do you have this drink?
1:22:16
No? Yeah? Probably people wrapping and singing and doing whatever the fuck
1:22:21
in the window. I don't microphone. I don't want you to sing your
1:22:26
order to me. America's fuck dude, like it. Do you do that
1:22:31
in the UK? But I just don't. I just cannot imagine anybody actually
1:22:35
given at the time of day. Yeah. But it's the thing where like
1:22:42
I just didn't think I did have to wear attacker bell hat once. Oh
1:22:45
yeah, that was You didn't even work at top of Bell No, I
1:22:48
did, and I worked at one of There was like five of them Essex
1:22:53
represents, Oh my god. Five That all that well, with that enlightening
1:23:05
new knowledge about brand Taco Bell, that's the end of round three. Let's
1:23:10
climb the stairs of the Barbie Dreamhouse and then immediately slide down the slide of
1:23:15
the Barbie Dreamhouse and then climb the stairs of the Barbie Dreamhouse to calculate the
1:23:18
scores and then go down the slide again because it's so much fun. Yeah,
1:23:24
okay, we have Barbie's nuts on thirteen points, Sugar's Daddy's extending that
1:23:29
lead on fifteen points. Yeah, still still anyone's game. The quick fire
1:23:33
around can change everything. Yeah, so many points up for grabs. But
1:23:38
before we get to the quick fire around, let's talk prizes. This episode's
1:23:42
star prize is the concept of beauty. Beauty comes in many, many forms,
1:23:45
of course, but beauty blossoms when you practice self love. So go
1:23:49
have a wank. I guess, but our winning team will also receive a
1:23:58
brand new in the box original nineteen fifty nine swimsuit Barbie and near Mint Collector's
1:24:04
edition item. Oh but oh look, her hair's a little has a little
1:24:10
unkempt. I'm just oh my god, Oh my god, oh my god.
1:24:18
It's a fine. Oh my god. Good is new? That's capes
1:24:27
come off? Okay, wow, No, can't break this toy. Okay,
1:24:34
too well made. Wow. Next is our crucial quick fire around,
1:24:40
But first we must play one final set of ads. Hi, I'm ad
1:24:44
executive Barbie. Please continue to buy all products, diversify your consumer portfolio buy
1:24:49
a Honda today. Our final quick fire around test your broader pop culture knowledge,
1:25:01
and it is called this Barbie. In this game, I will give
1:25:04
our players clues to fictional characters who, according to the Hollywood Reporter, are
1:25:09
the best female fictional blonds. So not me, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
1:25:15
I know Barbie is more than just that now, but she wasn't anything
1:25:18
other than that until like twenty twenty one. So let's see how well you
1:25:21
know your fictional white women. And I'm going to give these clues in the
1:25:28
style of Ken's saying hi as he attempts to pay some compliments to this particular
1:25:32
Barbie. And there is a classic gate leaper's twist. You need to say
1:25:36
this Barbie is before you say the name of the person. It's quickfire,
1:25:42
so buzz in by yelling out your team name these nuts, sugars, daddies
1:25:47
there. Yeah, that's that's good stuff. I'll do an example. Hi,
1:25:50
Barbie, you look like you want to burn a city to ashes this
1:25:54
morning. Hey, can I write on your dragons later? Yes? Jason
1:26:00
Barbie is Klisi, Yeah yeah, any of those that do any name for
1:26:04
the person? Yeah? Are we ready? Yeah? Yes, all right,
1:26:09
I'll stop the timer. Hi Barbie. It was so dope the way
1:26:12
you killed those vampires earlier, Sugar daddies. Yes, this Bobby, this
1:26:16
Bobby is Buffy, Yes, Buffy, This Bobby is Buffy. Hi Barbie.
1:26:24
I love how much you care about our local government. I could watch
1:26:28
you Lydia. I think that's you. Yeah this Bob, oh yeah,
1:26:34
you got it, you got it just there. I'll let you have that
1:26:36
one. This Barbby is indeed Leslie. Nope. Oh yeah, eat waffles
1:26:41
and pet tiny horses. You didn't need to hear that part. Didn't need
1:26:45
them. Hi Barbie, how's fashioned merchandising going, Sugar Daddies, I just
1:26:57
juved out of my fucking skin. This Barbie is l Wood. This Bobby
1:27:02
is l Woods. Get stuff from legally bond. Okay, that's my answer
1:27:06
for this. Hi Barbie. Wow, your cats is so smelly. I
1:27:13
promise that's a clean nuts. Yeah Barbie is Phoebe from Friends. Yeah,
1:27:18
this Bobby is Phoebe from Friends. Gets I got one. Yes, now
1:27:23
I'm done, Hi Barbie. The way you use your tech savvyness to support
1:27:28
a man is so heroic. Although he wears green, aren't you worried you'll
1:27:32
clash tech savvyiness, green, heroic. These are those are the key words.
1:27:39
Frent no, no one. I thought this one was a tough one
1:27:44
as well. But it is apparently the fifth most famous fictional blonde, according
1:27:46
to the Hollywood Reporter. Sugar's Daddy's yeah, Suldra, this Barbie is Harley
1:27:55
Quinn A good guess, but it's not Holly Quinn. No. Apparently this
1:27:59
Bobby is fill City Smoke. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know.
1:28:05
I don't Yeah that went on there. Yeah that's what I thought. I
1:28:12
just went with THEO. Anyway, Hi, Barbie, how is the DC
1:28:15
lobbying and for profit nonprofit business going? You're smarter than me and definitely smarter
1:28:20
than your husband, who was fired from your TV series for sexual assault,
1:28:25
and Netflix made the main character you for this just one final season. Again,
1:28:30
it was a very specific Barbie. A couple of people in their forties
1:28:34
just screaming. I think I know I know the show, but I don't.
1:28:42
I don't know the lady. Sugar's daddy, Yeah, this Barbie is
1:28:47
that blonde lady from House of Cards when Kevin Spacey got taken. I'm going
1:28:51
to give you the point because it is House of cards. You can have
1:28:54
it. That blonde lady. You got that blond lady. We're definitely gonna
1:29:00
get some who I think a more obvious blonde ladies. But this is not
1:29:03
what the Hollywood reports said anyway. Hi Barbie God, I love how mean
1:29:09
you are and you're so crafty. Look how good that design on your pink
1:29:13
book is? So I agree. I think you're yes Ell, this Bobby
1:29:19
is? This Bobby is Regina George the mean girl. But wasn't Katie Herron
1:29:26
a mean girl throughout or like in there too? Yeah, we'll discuss it
1:29:30
on mean girl's gately positions. They all became at one point mean girls.
1:29:38
We're all mean girls at heart, and we shouldn't do anything to change that.
1:29:43
Yep, I won't. Hi Barbie, that's a gorgeous yellow jumpsuit,
1:29:48
but I have to say I am terrified by your massive sword. These nuts.
1:29:54
Yes, Jason, I know it's this Barbie's Uma Thurman from Kill Bill.
1:29:59
I'm gonna have to give you that because I gave the bride it's not
1:30:02
a ghost. I had to get back the fact that I did know something
1:30:10
about that for after not getting the clue. Yeah, Hi Barbie, Whoo
1:30:15
you look strong, Barbie. You look like you're ready to hold more championships.
1:30:19
Father Sugars Daddy? Is this Barbie is Charlotte Flair. This Bobby is
1:30:27
Professional Wrestlings. Charlotte flat wasn't the prominent fictional blonde women Chott. She's a
1:30:31
real person, but her name is Ashley Flear. Okay, yeah, wrestling
1:30:39
is not real Grayson. Okay, Okay, Hi Barbie, I don't mind
1:30:45
that you prefer mister big, because I'm mister smooth. Bobby. Yes,
1:30:49
Lydia, this Bobby is Harry Bradshaw. This Bobby is Carrie Bradshaw Sex and
1:30:55
say, oh, Hi Barbie. I love your singing voice the way it
1:31:00
echoes from the mountains. But how do I solve a problem like you?
1:31:04
Bobby doesn't Shot? I think it is just gonna be Lydia for the completion
1:31:11
of uh this This Bobby is Maria from the Soob of Music. Yes,
1:31:18
this Bobby from the Sound of Music, an iconic Bobby and quick before the
1:31:25
buzzer. Hi Barby, Wow, your muscles are looking so tight to your
1:31:30
shirt right now, and that's surfboards you're carrying. Oh, my god,
1:31:32
I'm looking in the mirror. Sugar's daddy. Yes, Ultra, this Barbie
1:31:40
is Ken, Yes, this Bobby is candle Beach. Nice good stuff.
1:31:47
Oh my goodness, that was incredibly close. There's one point in it's your
1:31:55
name for the first like, I don't even know how many episodes up until
1:32:00
this moment I have buzzed in by saying Ah. Rodgers also used the other
1:32:08
team's name as well. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah regularly. But before
1:32:14
we get to those tense final scores, I'd like to thank our players.
1:32:17
You've all figured out who Barbie is, and now it's time to book an
1:32:20
appointment with your gynecologist. I think that's what the message of the movie was.
1:32:25
Yeah, mind scheduled eight months out, so shit's wild calling. Now
1:32:34
we're not allowed to schedule our own gynecology appointment, so I would have to.
1:32:39
It would be a whole process of going to the GP, being told
1:32:42
no, going to the DP six months later, also being told no,
1:32:45
and then never seeing a guy in ecologist. If you go for a flea
1:32:48
chaff, they do it fair. And then that's what happened to me,
1:32:53
and she said, oh you actually are over g first missus and I was
1:32:57
like, oh, she was like you can do it, and I was
1:33:00
like, okay, did not expect this great because I went in for my
1:33:10
ass for appointment and they were like, you need a flu jab and I
1:33:13
came for that and they were like, an also enjoyed some brain surgery.
1:33:15
Well you're yeah, I want to see what i'll get next time? Pick
1:33:21
and mix. Yeah, what's available on that day? Yeah, it's your
1:33:28
special GP surgery and a nurse will like grab you through the windows some medical
1:33:32
care. And with that, l you are a wonderful actor, writer and
1:33:41
performer. Where can our listeners find you online? I know you've also just
1:33:44
finished a players. They're going to be a way that we could see that
1:33:46
online. So yeah, you can find us at rickety fidgets on all of
1:33:51
the usual social media's and none of the unusual not. Yeah, and we
1:34:00
have just finished a play that will not be available online a little bit because
1:34:04
you want to take it to the fringe. Oh hell yes, hell yeah.
1:34:08
So if you're hopefully if we managed to achieve this, hopefully this time
1:34:12
next year, we'll have just had a sick fringe round where a load of
1:34:15
people come and see our play about autism and service stations. Oh heck yeah.
1:34:19
I mean maybe it's the slight autism of me that I was more hooked
1:34:23
on the service station concept that was like the service stations. Audrey and I
1:34:30
will be over in the UK next August, so absolutely we'll come see that
1:34:33
at the fringe. Yeah. Yeah, And I know we're like sixty percent
1:34:38
USA listeners forty percent the rest of the world. But if you happen to
1:34:40
be in at the Edinburgh Fringe August twenty twenty four, it's Scotland. A
1:34:45
lot of Americans. Yeah, there are a lot of Americans with a fringe.
1:34:48
I think it's okay. Yeah, got the Fringe next year, America.
1:34:53
Yeah, and just see the Rickety Fidget show. Yes, yes,
1:34:57
yes, No one else don't believe in collaboration community, that's a lie.
1:35:04
I very much believe that. You Please still talk to me over links to
1:35:15
something thinks that everything Ricketty fidgets in the show notes for this very podcast,
1:35:21
Lydia, do you have anything anything you want to promote? Do you do
1:35:25
you want to beat people to even find you online? I'd really rather they
1:35:30
didn't, be honest. I love being not bothered by other people. So
1:35:34
if people could actively avoid finding me on social media, that would be That
1:35:39
would be wonderful. Hopefully it find you, block you and then go about
1:35:44
their lives. That would be perfect, perfect, wonderful, fantastic And any
1:35:48
you want to share any goodwill towards anything, Nah, I don't have any
1:35:55
good will left in me. It's a good stuff gets and a huge thank

take the jacket off. Why you're an independent woman and I'm not going to
1:36:34
tell you what the fuck to do? Thank you, thank you. Okay,
1:36:39
the final scores are so close. That quick fire around incredibly back and
1:36:43
forth. Each team took the lead. It was wild. Barbie's Nuts finish
1:36:47
on nineteen points. Very high score. Very high score. Yeah, but
1:36:55
this week's winners a Sugar's Daddy's with twenty points. Wow, that's so close
1:37:00

shop is about ten of those incredible work Lydia being the predominant source of knowledge.
1:37:16
I mean so close, Okay, I'm definitely more than everyone else.
1:37:27
Oh yeah, I feel like it wouldn't have been fair if I had like
1:37:30
been on Order's team, because then it would just have been they would really
1:37:33
we would have would have overtaken. I would have I mean, I feel
1:37:39
bad, but I would have felt really bad if I was on my l's
1:37:42
team. Every every commercial they would have been putting out, I would been
1:37:48
like, yeah, why not sure? Yeah? If you were on me
1:37:55

1:39:25
Fringe at the Edinburgh, the world famous Edinburgh Fringe, performing the plays they've
1:39:30
put on in the last couple of years. So yeah, that's I mean,
1:39:31
that's going to be a pleasure for myself and Audra who'll be able to
1:39:34
be there. But do follow Ricketty Fidgets on Instagram as if you want to
1:39:40
go out there, you'll have a year to plan your trip, and if
1:39:43
not, you can support their journey from afar like many of us do in
1:39:45
this digital age. They're fantastic, they're doing great work. So at Ricketty
1:39:49
Fidgets on Instagram and there's even a link in the show notes. And of
1:39:55
course another huge thank you to my sister Lydia who so kindly helps her brother
1:39:59
out with Hi child Brain projects. Thank you, Lydia. Just the Watson
1:40:04
parents left to go now, I reckon. I don't think they could handle
1:40:09
it. I have no sense of shame, so I could. While I'm
1:40:13
here, just a quick update on the casting call that we put out in
1:40:15
our last Kind Of episode. I've been absolutely flawed and blown away and all
1:40:20
of those phrases by the response from so many people. Yeah, if you're
1:40:27
one of those people who reached out and said, oh, I'd love to
1:40:30
play gate Leapers on a more regular basis. I'd like to be part of
1:40:32
the cast. Please. You know who you are. You're amazing, You're
1:40:35
incredible. You have guaranteed that this podcast will continue through twenty twenty four,
1:40:41
which is Yeah, this is all I want to be doing, and now
1:40:44
the podcast gets to continue with even more funny, interesting, entertaining people.
1:40:49
Yeah, it's just basically been a list of my favorite people in podcasting have
1:40:55
responded and said that they want to be a part of this mad circus.
1:40:58
So, yeah, you're amazing. The casting call is still open. We're
1:41:02
going to keep it open for about another month or so, so do send
1:41:06
me a message online or send an email to Gateleapers at gmail dot com.
1:41:12
That's Gateleapers at gmail dot com. Another huge thank you to John Williams of
1:41:17
the Exploration podcast of Space Oddities for pointing out that during the casting call,
1:41:23
I said Gateleapers pod at gmail dot com. I was thinking about my other
1:41:27
podcast that needs to have pod on the end, because it was already taken
1:41:30
as an email. Gateleapers we own outright. Thanks to the generosity of Google,
1:41:35
so Gatesleapers at gmail dot com if you're interested in joining the Gateleapers cast.
1:41:42
But all of the information is in our previous episode. I think we
1:41:45
spoke from the heart pretty pretty well as well as podcasters can. So yeah,
1:41:48
check that out if you would like more details. I think that's about
1:41:53
it. Our next episode is our yearly leap into the world of professional wrestling.
1:41:57
It's episode three sixteen, Season three, Episode sixteen. It's very fitting
1:42:00
if you know you're wrestling, and it'll be a very fun, silly episode.
