  Hello, and welcome to gate Leapers, the pop culture game show that shines
• 0:22
  a spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master and boyfriend turned monster
• 0:27
  Matt Watson. But of course we couldn't play these games without our team captains,
• 0:32
  and this week we're playing with a special guest team captain as Jason is
• 0:36
  currently in Sunnydale, California. Sorry sunny California. First, she's buff,
• 0:43
  she vamps, and she slays. It's Ordre Stevenson. Hell, yes,
• 0:47
  hell, yes, it is me. It is you. I do those
• 0:52
  things to certain degrees. Yes, and that's good enough for a joke.
• 0:55
  Yes, and he's an author, a podcaster, and a fellow games master.
• 0:59
  Ready to scooby Doo. It's it's panceless. Aaron of bfy t W
• 1:03
  Hello, Hi there, and welcome. Hello Aaron, super stupid excited for
• 1:07
  this, cannot wait to get to the games. But I know we're gonna
• 1:11
  do some introductions first, so we will. We're gonna we're gonna have to
• 1:15
  chat postion. I suppose if you like someone like Aaron and you want to
• 1:17
  get straight to the games, you can skip forward like twenty minutes. That's
• 1:19
  fine. I don't mind. I do. Okay, So captain's I mean,
• 1:26
  let's let's start with Aaron. You are you are a captain this one?
• 1:29
  Oh. I am beyond excited to have on my team the co host
• 1:34
  of the Ultra Hope Girls podcast and the Inslock podcast and a voice actress who
• 1:41
  just announced that she has a starring role in the Marvel Move app. It's
• 1:46
  Caroline Utahela. Yeah, hello, Caroline, welcome to the podcast. Thank
• 1:52
  you for having me. I am absolutely stoked to be here. Aaron said,
• 1:55
  Buffy and I said, say less please here. Perfect, perfect,
• 2:01
  And that's I mean, that's quite the introduction. You are one of the
• 2:05
  most impressive people we've had on this podcast. Thank you. And I'm his
• 2:09
  and I'm his wife and I am not didn't quite make it, I guess
• 2:15
  for madam. Yeah, well no, I'll just be the butt of that
• 2:22
  joke. I won't add anything to that. Thank you feminism, So I
• 2:27
  guess. Aaron and Caroline, let's talk Buffy. How familiar are you both
• 2:30
  with the fandom. Let's start with Aaron. Well, I used to watch
• 2:35
  it fairly religiously when it was on. I think I started catching it like
• 2:39
  somewhere in the third season, and then when I worked night shift over like
• 2:44
  ten years, I would watch it pretty much off on DVD. I had
• 2:47
  the full box sets and I watched it end to end over and over again,
• 2:53
  followed by Angel uh and uh yeah, so I've watched every episode at
• 2:58
  least three or four times. Nice. That's I mean, that's pretty knowledgeable.
• 3:02
  It sounds like you know your buff stuff. Hopefully we're going to find
• 3:07
  out. But I consider myself a cino, which is a captain in name
• 3:12
  only. I'm going to be more of the watcher to Caroline Slayer on this
• 3:15
  one because I think I think she might have me beat. I see,
• 3:19
  I see, yeah, Caroline. What's your relationship with Buffy as a fandom?
• 3:23
  With the fandom in particular, it really I absorbed it in a vacuum
• 3:29
  for a long time because my parents were quite strict about what I did on
• 3:31
  the internet. But my friend, who I had a crush on at the
• 3:36
  time, as is often with Buffy, everything is gay. Yes, she
• 3:43
  was like, Hey, there's a show called Buffy and there's like a lesbian
• 3:46
  witch in it who has red hair, and I, as you can see
• 3:50
  em, a redhead, and so I was like, oh, Oh yeah,
• 3:53
  I'm in. I'm so in, and so I started watching it and
• 3:55
  then I guess, fandom wise, I was in the Tumbler years, I
• 3:59
  guess, so I watched it on Netflix and then was part of the fandom
• 4:03
  on Tumblr when I was in high school. Yeah, so this is good.
• 4:09
  It feels like it's a team. You've got knowledge that like spans the
• 4:12
  full stretch of stretch of the fandom, like watching from season three in the
• 4:15
  original run all the way through to sneakily making Tumbler comments that you're perhaps hyper
• 4:20
  religious parents. Oh fantastic. Yes, that's great stuff, Uldra. Why
• 4:28
  don't you introduce who your teammate will be? Well, Matt, Yes,
• 4:32
  I have two teammates. Watch. I have no idea. I cannot bring
• 4:35
  myself to break up the dream Team. It's podcasters Stevie and Aggie of because
• 4:41
  fuck you that's why. Yeah, hello dream Team. Hello Stevie. Hello,
• 4:46
  this is so cool, Like we're on a different panel show. Yeah,
• 4:50
  yes, and you are still the dream Team. Oh yeah right,
• 4:56
  Like how does that work transcends? Disapologie? Sorry, I apologize to you
• 5:05
  guys. It is honestly, it's really sad that I missed out on this.
• 5:12
  My parents did not let me watch anything like watch anything, read anything,
• 5:16
  consume any media that wasn't of the Lord, and so Buffy was not
• 5:19
  part of this. I've seen three episodes. There were people who said to
• 5:24
  skip the first season, and I was like, I don't think so.
• 5:28
  The first few episodes this is some of the best TV I've ever watched.
• 5:31
  Also, once more with feeling as a as a musical fan, so I'm
• 5:38
  absolutely hooked. I will be bringing um a new fans passion and also a
• 5:46
  new fans lack of knowledge. How about you, guys, well compared to
• 5:56
  our our opponents. Uh, my knowledge of this show is I've never heard
• 6:01
  of it in my life. No, I've watched a few seasons of it
• 6:11
  throughout the ages of its existence, um, and watched quite a bit of
• 6:15
  it recently. But yeah, maybe maybe I can guess work the other stuff.
• 6:20
  I think I think I could yet very well enough that I can kind
• 6:23
  of guess. And this this, this show tends to be a lot of
• 6:28
  bullocks in terms of the questions, more about the surrounding fandom all that kind
• 6:31
  of thing. So hopefully guesses we'll get the job done. Stevie, what
• 6:35
  about yourself. What's your connection to Buffy. I I enjoyed Buffy when it
• 6:41
  came out. I like Aaron did watch while it was out. I didn't.
• 6:45
  I wasn't as religious about it as he was until later on when we
• 6:48
  would hang out a lot, and I got into it and got the series
• 6:51
  and stuff. I had all the discs as well, like all the DVDs
• 6:55
  of every season, and I love the show. I've I've seen the series
• 7:00
  through at least three times, so oh, I actually have seen a lot
• 7:04
  of it. Um. The thing is, I am medicated a ton now,
• 7:10
  so my memories like Swiss cheese up there. So I mean it's not
• 7:14
  much so I think we have a chance, though. I believe once once
• 7:19
  I start hearing the questions or hearing like everybody else talking, it's gonna retrigger
• 7:24
  everything and our team's gone. I have a feeling we're gonna yes, underdogs.
• 7:29
  You know, sometimes too much knowledge just gets in the way, right,
• 7:31
  Yeah, yeah, sometimes yeah. I love this confidence from the team
• 7:35
  that probably will live right. I did have one question though, too,
• 7:41
  like yeah, Jason, I don't like Okay, we've done a few things
• 7:44
  as collaborations. I don't believe this guy exists, of course, because when
• 7:49
  we came up by t W, Jason was not present. Yes, correct,
• 7:55
  He's just like a mythical creature, imaginary. Yeah, like a unit.
• 7:59
  Yeah, he's podcast unicorn. Yeah, he'd love that to be fair,
• 8:03
  to be referred to as that the setup was actually a joke about Sunnydale.
• 8:09
  But it is true. He's currently in California. I can't, I
• 8:11
  can't like give you more evidence than that. You've just got to take me
• 8:15
  at my words. I'm so sorry. One or two other episodes cev I
• 8:20
  did, but he could it could be maybe it's there are maybe there are
• 8:24
  impressionists. You're an AI voice, could be that is possible. Now it
• 8:31
  all makes sense. It does robots. Yeah, it's huge. Now man,
• 8:37
  I'm just contact Jason on Twitter and be like, are you an AI?
• 8:41
  Yeah? Out of context, thank you for inviting us. By the
• 8:43
  way, now, Jason Israel. We love him, we miss him,
• 8:50
  but let's just have about ninety minutes of fun without him. Yeah. Yeah,
• 8:54
  And look, the teams are unbalanced, but if you think about it,
• 8:58
  they're actually quite balanced. I'll let whoever wants to be offended by that
• 9:01
  be offended by that. Listen we might have a knowledge advantage, but they
• 9:13
  have a numbers advantage. It's true that, it's true more brains. I
• 9:16
  have no objection to this. Yeah, I'm going to try not to just
• 9:20
  sit back and let Caroline do all the heavy lifting. No, it won't
• 9:24
  be that. I don't think. I'm not great with memorizing everything either,
• 9:28
  So maybe you'll remember things I don't remember. We'll see. Yeah, well
• 9:31
  we will find out who is facing who because teams, you've arrived at Sunnydale
• 9:35
  High School, and I'm sure it's going to be a vampire free for you
• 9:39
  and yours psych much. That's what they say, don't they. I don't
• 9:43
  know. So I'd like each pan to come up with a Buffy themed team
• 9:48
  name. Please, let's start with Aaron and Caroline. Okay, So we
• 9:52
  tossed a couple of ideas back and forth. I liked the idea because Caroline
• 9:58
  and I are both they musical theater people. I thought just calling ourselves once
• 10:03
  more with feeling would be appropriate. But then Caroline came up with, in
• 10:09
  my estimation, the perfect name. Caroline, would you like to say it
• 10:13
  was the Yellow Crans? You know? So I don't know, and I
• 10:20
  would love the reference explained because that's always get so. At the end of
• 10:24
  season six spoilers sorry, Willow turns evil due to circumstances which I will not
• 10:31
  spoil, and she is going to end the world. She is about to
• 10:35
  do so when her best friend from childhood, Xander, shows up and says,
• 10:41
  I just want to hang with you. If this is what you're gonna
• 10:43
  do, then do it with me, please, because if the world's going
• 10:46
  to end, I want to I want it to end with you. And
• 10:48
  then he's like, do you remember in kindergarten you were so upset because you
• 10:52
  broke the yellow crayon? You've come a long way. Not a great idea,
• 10:56
  but I just love the idea of friendship connecting over a tiny story of
• 11:03
  a mishap, which we had several when we visited Caroline, and so many
• 11:11
  we had so many, So if I ever need to reconnect with Caroline for
• 11:16
  any reason, I'll just be like, do you remember that time I couldn't
• 11:20
  figure out a door? Ya? You remember the time we played a killing
• 11:24
  game with no killer? There are so many things that went hilariously wrong on
• 11:31
  that trip, but there are touchstones that remind us of our friendship which which
• 11:37
  is everything to me. So yellow crayons, it is that. That's beautiful.
• 11:41
  That is absolutely beautiful. And I now understand the reference and it's even
• 11:43
  more beautiful. So we have the Yellow Crayons, will be one team.
• 11:46
  But who will they be facing? Ultra ulky Stevie. I had an idea
• 11:54
  if you didn't, I mean, I have a couple. I don't know
• 11:56
  how strong they are, A new fan in all. Okay, okay,
• 12:01
  what's yourn um? Obviously Scooby gang, that's obvious. This is this is
• 12:07
  like, this is entry level shit. It's good. But I also thought,
• 12:13
  because there is three of us, I know that they're villains. But
• 12:18
  the trio, oh my gosh, that so Good's true story. When I
• 12:24
  thought it was gonna be the three of us, three nerdy, geeky white
• 12:30
  dudes, I was going to call our team the Trio minus the misogyny.
• 12:35
  Yeah. Do you want to go with the Trio plus the misogyny? Yeah?
• 12:41
  I'm a I'm an absolute notorious in cell. Everyone's laughing for very good
• 12:50
  reason, because it's true. That's what makes the joke funny. The truth
• 13:00
  For the addendums, I would defer or but I also want to hear y'all's
• 13:03
  name suggestion. So mine was going to be hell Fire Hellians. That is
• 13:09
  goody route, I like that about Hellmouth Hellian's Hellmouth. He sorry not to
• 13:16
  be helping, but oh no, help us with the answer partly. Yeah,
• 13:20
  Well, first, mine don's not here. Man. That's a deep
• 13:31
  cut motherfucker. I think I try to get it. It's a couple of
• 13:37
  a couple of references smashed together thrown in the wow, come on, thank
• 13:46
  you? All right, Well, I know three individual parties makes democracy more
• 13:50
  difficult, but I'm going to need a final answer on the team. I
• 13:54
  do like Hellmouth Hellians. Me too. It Actually it rolls good and we
• 13:58
  can preach. We're all dude. You guys got scooters over there. We
• 14:01
  can make like a scooter gang and we can all be at the Hellmouth Hellians.
• 14:03
  We can get vests. Yeah, oh my god, is it then?
• 14:09
  Hell yeah? All right, we got the hell Mouth Hellians. We'll
• 14:15
  just skip past that. We're probably only playing as a three team for the
• 14:18
  first time ever in the trio. Would have been perfect, But you know
• 14:22
  what, the team name isn't everything, you don't. It does set the
• 14:26
  tone for whether he will give us points in the future. But I am
• 14:31
  a contrarian. Okay, all right, if you're listening to this and thinking,
• 14:35
  well, you all seem at least moderately pleasant. But I don't know
• 14:39
  my slay of brackets Buffy from my Slay of Brackets frash metal band, don't
• 14:43
  worry his ordro with a little segment we like to call passing knowledge. In
• 14:52
  every generation, there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the
• 14:56
  vampires, the demons, and the forces of dark. She is the Slayer,
• 15:01
  but she just wants to be a normal high school or goddamn it.
• 15:05
  Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural teen drama which ran from nineteen ninety
• 15:11
  seven to two thousand and three. The series was written and directed by Joss
• 15:16
  Whedon. But don't hold that against it, all right, I get it.
• 15:20
  You're evil. Do we have to chat about it all day? The
• 15:22
  show centers around Buffy Summers, a high school girl and slayer at a new
• 15:26
  school collectively called the Scooby Gang. Her and her new friends saw supernatural mysteries
• 15:31
  around Sunnydale. Instead of unmasking old mister Jenkins at the carnival, they are
• 15:37
  stabbing some vampires and screwing others so hard a house collapses happen. Yes,
• 15:45
  okay, I know few things about this fandom. That's one of the things.
• 15:52
  When did the building fall down? Must have been some time between the
• 15:56
  first time in the year Oh my God. While fandoms having listed far prior
• 16:00
  to Buffy, it is known as one of the pioneering fandoms of the Internet
• 16:04
  age. If there was a message board, there were Buffy fans present,
• 16:08
  basically inventing our modern understanding of fandom discourse, our modern ideas of fan community,
• 16:15
  shipping meetups, even naming your children after characters can trace their impact back
• 16:19
  to Buffy. So anyone who named their daughter Callisi early in Game of Thrones
• 16:23
  and then regretted it by the end, you have Buffy the Vampire Slayer to
• 16:27
  thank and yourself to blame. I'm not the one being judgmental here. I'll
• 16:33
  leave that territory to you and Buffy judgmental. Now, let's laugh in the
• 16:37
  face of danger and then hide until it goes away. It's Buffy the Vampire
• 16:41
  Slayer. Yes, thank you, Audre. I hope that caught everyone up
• 16:47
  on Buffy. And if not, look, you've seen a media text about
• 16:49
  young people battling the supernatural world. It's twenty twenty three, for Glory's sake,
• 16:53
  that's half of all media. Just before we get to today's games,
• 16:57
  I've asked each player to bring in a muse, something that inspires them or
• 17:03
  something they love from this particular fandom. Buffy is inspiring to me personally because
• 17:07
  seeing Spike's cheekbones for the first time has humbled me greatly. Oh my god,
• 17:12
  yes, experience, it's quite relatable. I just want to climb them.
• 17:22
  I just want to sit upon them as we all do. Oh.
• 17:29
  Now that we're all suitably thirsty, Special guest Team Captain Aaron, we will
• 17:33
  start with you. What's inspiring you from the world of buffet Um? Okay,
• 17:38
  well this was extremely difficult for me. There's a lot of things I
• 17:41
  love about Buffy and the things that's surround it. Um. I mentioned to
• 17:47
  Caroline that I was thinking about uh Amber Benson, the actress who plays Tara,
• 17:52
  because she's a magnificent human being and I love her and she she was
• 17:55
  like one of the first like uh like big Icon on TV who looked like
• 18:00
  a normal woman. Everybody else is so thin and skinny. Um. But
• 18:07
  she just looks like a regular person, like and she's beautiful and she's fantastic
• 18:11
  and I love her to death. Um. But I eventually settled on I
• 18:15
  think my music is going to be the character of Rupert Giles. Oh nice,
• 18:22
  Just because I'm such a huge anglophile. Um that I made my own
• 18:27
  Matt from gate Liber's doll that I sleep with at home. Disgusting what you
• 18:33
  do to it, but I approve, well, thank you for approval.
• 18:37
  Um. And also I just I like to think of myself as faithfully supporting
• 18:45
  all of my female friends no matter what. Um. And also I tend
• 18:51
  to prefer to watch, then take part and just go ahead and extrapolate whatever
• 18:56
  you want. No, after the mentioning if the Matt doll into blanks,
• 19:06
  that's I mean, that's fantastic. It's a fantastic news. It's a fantastic
• 19:08
  sentiment. I can see why. It's inspiring. Very good stuff. Let's
• 19:12
  move on over to your teammates, Caroline, what's inspiring you from the world
• 19:15
  of Buffy. Well, Um, this was a very hard question because there's
• 19:21
  so much I could say, honestly, and drew every rewatch in every season
• 19:25
  of my life so far, there's been something different that's been important. But
• 19:29
  the one thing that has, you know, powered through all of it for
• 19:33
  me, and is the reason why I started watching it was because there was
• 19:37
  a queer character who looked like me. She was fem she wasn't um.
• 19:41
  You know. I feel like a lot of the lesbians and media that I
• 19:45
  was seeing, besides Glee, which was iconic, U were you know,
• 19:51
  butch. And that's fine, and that's totally great and awesome that folks express
• 19:55
  themselves in that way, but that's just not me. Um. And so
• 19:57
  I was really excited to see will and her relationship with Tara being something that
• 20:02
  was just so normal and it wasn't just like all her character, you know.
• 20:06
  It wasn't like, oh, she's just the gay character. And so
• 20:10
  I actually have it a Buffy tattoo which I can show you all right now.
• 20:12
  Yes, no, yes, Oh fantastic. This is a candle which
• 20:17
  is from the episode New Moon Rising and spoiler alert, but during that episode,
• 20:22
  Willow's ex boyfriend from high school comes back after having cheated on her with
• 20:27
  another werewolf woman hah and he returns and then discovers that she and Amber Benson's
• 20:34
  character Tara have been in a relationship, and Tara's character assumes at Willow like
• 20:40
  a lot of you know, people might assume from folks who have dated men
• 20:45
  before, which is not really justified, you know, and that they have
• 20:48
  a fear that they will go back to the men that they previously dated.
• 20:52
  But at the end of the show, at the end of the episode,
• 20:55
  Willow comes in with this candle and it's extra flamy, and she she tells
• 21:00
  teras Tera says, it's okay, you have to be with the person that
• 21:04
  you love, and she says, I am, and then she gives the
• 21:08
  normal to the terror and she blows it out and it is like, yeah,
• 21:12
  my favorite. That is so good, I mean, beautiful Gay Candle
• 21:18
  might be one of the best musics. Thank you. Yeah, fantastic,
• 21:26
  very inspiring. We we skipped and watched once more with feeling to get the
• 21:30
  musical stuff. We watched some from season one and so when there was like
• 21:33
  a healthy, normal portrayal of a gay couple, I was like, well,
• 21:38
  yeah, did this come out again? Because Hollywood still struggling with this
• 21:41
  in some areas, right, But the thing is is it's not always healthy,
• 21:45
  which is good also because it's like you're seeing a couple, a real
• 21:49
  couple, go through the ups and down said it takes you love, so
• 21:52
  yeah, anyway, yeah, like the conflict of them in this in the
• 21:57
  episode is like lying, yeah, right, and because as someone who doesn't
• 22:02
  know that in between parts, but that's that's not a specifically queer relationship issue,
• 22:07
  but like that, Nope, that's a that's universal. Right, So
• 22:11
  it was good to see fantastic news. I can see why you're inspired by
• 22:15
  that. Let's let's move on over to the hell Mouth Hellians and we will
• 22:18
  begin with Ultra. What's inspiring you? Honestly, the thing that's inspiring me
• 22:25
  from Buffy is the fact that all of these shows that I have watched like
• 22:30
  religiously or been recommended to me because they would be something that I would like,
• 22:36
  are all inspired by Buffy. So you look at Supernatural, you look
• 22:38
  at teen Wolf. Those are two in my tumbler days, those are two
• 22:41
  of my big, my big fandoms. And going back and watching the first
• 22:47
  couple episodes of Buffy and then once more with Feeling, the thing that's inspiring
• 22:51
  me is that they were inspired by Buffy. And so there is so many
• 22:55
  things that I Love do not exist at least not in the same way with
• 23:00
  out the show that kind of started at all in pop culture. And now
• 23:03
  there's tons of shows that I haven't, like I haven't watched. There's probably
• 23:06
  not Vampire Diaries or like even you could argue I was going to say,
• 23:11
  you could argue Wednesday. But there are a lot of shows that are happening
• 23:15
  or that became popular that probably wouldn't have happened without the fire that happened from
• 23:22
  the Buffy. Yeah, popularity definitely seems that way. Can Buffy fans confirm
• 23:27
  that and say a big yes? Also, any silly thing that Supernatural does,
• 23:33
  Buffy did it first. Yeah, it's a it's a good inspiration seeing
• 23:41
  the I mean it's like, yeah, an inspiration of the inspiration. It's
• 23:45
  like inspiration sception in perception that doesn't really work. I'm going to move on
• 23:48
  and ask you. Okay, okay, let's let's start with you. What's
• 23:53
  inspiring you from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Inspiring and you know, provoking thought.
• 24:02
  Well, I would say it would be that school's library, because my
• 24:07
  goodness, not only does it look amazing, but that that place hays everything
• 24:12
  like it's God, you know, all the best works I'm like orwell and
• 24:17
  all that stuff like that, and like Harry Potter and a book with a
• 24:21
  demon in it for some reason, bunch of pain domes and all easily assessible
• 24:29
  if you just went in there and just checked it out. It always like
• 24:33
  blew my mind that, like people just didn't go into the library. Yeah,
• 24:37
  it's a pretty expensive school library, is it? Is it a public
• 24:41
  school in the in the show like it is? Yes, great funding for
• 24:45
  that library, right, yeah, I like who met it? Those books?
• 24:49
  Yeah, it's gorgeous. Who betted those books? The Watcher Society,
• 24:55
  they're the ones that are like donating to the library and y the girl makes
• 25:00
  sense. Uh yeah, fantastic library and fantastic mus Thank you so much,
• 25:03
  Aggie. Thank you, Stevie. We'll come to you last, because that's
• 25:07
  your the last person left. Stevie. What's inspiring to you from Buffy?
• 25:12
  Um? Just like Buffy had like an amazing tool she kept with her at
• 25:18
  all times, mister Bok, I myself have a miss Stabby. So this
• 25:25
  is uh it's fourteen inches long, so it's got a good like the listeners
• 25:30
  at home, Stevie is holding a knife. Ye would steak this is it's
• 25:36
  actually it wouldn't steak. Nice now, yeah, yeah, outside the hands
• 25:44
  for good grip. And I've been I've been practicing outside in case any like
• 25:48
  vampires come by to protect us there in the podcast. Yeah, nice,
• 25:52
  I feel very safe even though we're in different locations. That's why you feel
• 25:56
  safe. Yeah, because I've got to ask of you. Have you taken
• 26:03
  out any vampires with it already? Is it? Okay? Okay? Historically
• 26:11
  any any previous nights, have you taken out any any undead any vampires?
• 26:15
  I mean, we see things, but not yet. Night's gonna be the
• 26:19
  night though we got the we got the steak to do it now, so
• 26:22
  now now to night's to night. The vampires. Well, we saw things
• 26:29
  because we were using the wrong kind of steak. Yeah, I mean we
• 26:32
  were using the you know, thet I'll do it. Yeah, it just
• 26:37
  slapped against them. It fell to the ground. Did you know there's a
• 26:41
  lot of coyotes are on a lot of coyotes on a nowhere. I mean,
• 26:47
  coyote vampires will be the next issue. They're like werewolves, but not
• 26:55
  don't shake your head at me. We're not even on your team, you
• 26:59
  don't hit the embarrassed other team'd be like, oh my god, this guy's
• 27:03
  an idiot. I'm embarrassed on your behalf. Thank you, last friendship.
• 27:11
  That's that's great, Stevie. That that to have a physical stake, to
• 27:15
  be able to take out vampires at a moment's notice. Very slayer. Yes,
• 27:18
  right, teams, you're ready to slay the master. So let's leap
• 27:22
  into the hell mouth that is round one. Round one is called merch table.
• 27:32
  What would fandoms be without merch Likely more academic and less capitalistic. But
• 27:37
  let's not pull up that cash mere thread right now. In this game,
• 27:40
  our teams will each be given a list of Buffy Verse merchandise. In order
• 27:45
  to score points, they must guess if each item is worth more or less
• 27:48
  than the previous item in the sequence. The twist, we're not talking about
• 27:52
  rurp baby, We're talking speculative value. As one list is from Etsy and
• 27:59
  the other Facebook marketplace. Oh god jeez. So to decide which team gets
• 28:04
  which list, I'm going to ask both teams a question, and whoever has
• 28:08
  the closest answer gets to pick them merchandise list. That question is according to
• 28:15
  Nielsen data throughout its seven season run, what was the average number of people
• 28:19
  tuning in for a Buffy episode? Okay, we'll have the yellow crayons and
• 28:25
  throw out an answer first, because you know you've got you've got the advantage.
• 28:29
  I think in knowledge, Karen, you might know this more than I
• 28:33
  will because I was very late to the era of network TV. Okay,
• 28:38
  I think their biggest number was probably somewhere in the area of This is so
• 28:47
  hard because it was it was on cable, it wasn't necessarily on the big
• 28:52
  network. So I think, if I recall correctly, and I could be
• 28:56
  wrong, I think one of their biggest, the biggest someone might have pulled
• 29:00
  in ten or eleven million viewers. Meanwhile, like the later episodes when it
• 29:07
  moved to up and I think it was closer to a million per episode.
• 29:11
  So I would be comfortable going somewhere between like three and four for an average
• 29:17
  over the whole series. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good with that.
• 29:21
  So you wanted to say three and a half cut it right down the middle,
• 29:23
  Yeah, that sounds good. Three point five million on the boards.
• 29:30
  Hell mouth, they're using math? Are they allowed to do that? You
• 29:34
  are? You are allowed to exploit math as well, if you'd like,
• 29:37
  okay, okay, um, hold on, I need my phone to do
• 29:41
  that. This is tough because I was probably going to say something similar.
• 29:48
  Yeah, just trying to think of like it's straddling the line between like popular
• 29:53
  but not mega, niche but not mega, and so the only thing that
• 29:57
  I have to go off of pro wrestling, like two mil above two mil,
• 30:04
  it's more pop like more popular than pro wrestling. So I was gonna
• 30:08
  say three or four I think so, I think it is going to be
• 30:14
  close, but I think it's lower what they're saying, though, I really
• 30:17
  do. I don't think it's as high as an average. I think it's
• 30:19
  going to be closer to like one point seven maybe two as an average.
• 30:22
  I don't think it's gonna be as high as I think it is through the
• 30:25
  series. But you're captain, I'm just guessing though, too. I really
• 30:29
  don't know. I'm just like throwing numbers out there, pretending I know math.
• 30:33
  Let's go with two then two mil, yeah, because then then we're
• 30:37
  like we're like close for we'll get anything below. Yeah, I don't think
• 30:41
  it'll I don't know if it'll be below these number ones always wildly surprised me.
• 30:48
  Right, let's find out if you're going to be wildly surprised. The
• 30:52
  correct answer. The average number of view is that Buffy had throughout it's seventh
• 30:56
  season airing was five point zero nine million views. Yeah, that's right.
• 31:00
  Maybe, so that's going to be yellow crayons. Who gets a pick?
• 31:04
  Pick that list of merchandise here, no point for that one at all,
• 31:10
  just the option to scull more points. It's a tool that will help you
• 31:15
  later. Caroline, When do you feel more comfortable with Etsy or Facebook marketplace?
• 31:21
  Well, I've done my fair share of purchasing of Buffy items on Etsy
• 31:25
  as I literally actually, oh my gosh, I literally have a cup from
• 31:29
  Etsy that says out for a walk fantastic. I think I saw that one
• 31:32
  when I was So let's go with that. See if you're cool with that,
• 31:36
  Aaron, Yeah, no, I'm absolutely a thousand percent cool with that.
• 31:41
  Let's go with that. S all right. We will begin with the
• 31:42
  Yellow crayons and Etsy. So this is mostly like homemade, self made products
• 31:48
  to do with the Buffy universe. So your first item, which I will
• 31:52
  scull points for if you get close to it, and if you get it
• 31:56
  like spat and I'll give you like two points to start of our sequence,
• 32:00
  but from after that it's just higher or lower. So your first item,
• 32:04
  Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot deck and guide book. Oh my god, my
• 32:08
  friend has this. Okay, I'm just trying to remember how much he paid
• 32:13
  for it. I think it was like forty dollars. Yeah, I would
• 32:16
  be in the forty to fifty range on this, I think. But if
• 32:20
  you want to go forty, I'm cool with that. Plus two forty five
• 32:22
  forty five, split it down the middle. You save forty five, it's
• 32:27
  thirty six ninety nine, so you're kind of you're kind of pretty close.
• 32:30
  If you're stuck with forty, I might have given you a point, but
• 32:32
  you went to forty five in the aim of friendship to try and find the
• 32:36
  medium between your answers. I knew I should have just listened to Caroline,
• 32:38
  just been okay, and I'm being especially cruel. But now you have the
• 32:44
  chance to earn points just by saying higher or lower. So your next item
• 32:47
  higher or lower than thirty six ninety nine. Buffy the Vampire Slayer steak prop
• 32:52
  inspired Wooden Steak. That's the full title stake prop and fire wooden Steak.
• 32:58
  It's literally just a sick it is, but someone whittled it probably, but
• 33:06
  it's probably like sanded down. They might offer inscription options. There is a
• 33:13
  part of me that feels like this might be higher. Okay, I'm gonna
• 33:17
  trust your gut. I hope it's not just like Stevie. Stevie, have
• 33:24
  you been posting your stick online again? I just like the picture. You
• 33:31
  are saying higher than thirty six ninety nine. It is higher than thirty six
• 33:36
  ninety nine. That is going to be a point. Nicely done, Caroline.
• 33:39
  It is seventy eight sixty for a whittled stick. O sweet, but
• 33:44
  it's probably pretty sweet looking. It does look pretty good. Yeah, fat,
• 33:49
  all right, So seventy eight sixty is your number? Higher? Aloa
• 33:52
  once more with feeling script signed by Joss Whedon, Sarah Michelle Gella, and
• 33:57
  Nicholas Brendon Hire. It's got to be higher, even though the Joss Whedon
• 34:01
  signature is going to bring it down SMG. Hello, I would like Sarah's
• 34:08
  signature alone is like the hundred dollars range easy, So yeah, I'll go
• 34:13
  higher. The Hire saying higher for this one, it's actually lower. Wow,
• 34:19
  this this is twenty one ninety five, you can pick. I'm gonna
• 34:22
  buy this apparently, Oh my god. Yeah, kind of unbelievable. You
• 34:29
  see this quite a lot on Etsy, where I feel like people photocopy signatures
• 34:32
  and then try and pass it off as like real signatures. So therefore I've
• 34:37
  just acted as a commercial for the item, but then being anti capitalist and
• 34:40
  said no, don't buy it, it's a scam, got it? Thank
• 34:45
  you? Both sides I'm playing both sides? Are you saying? Because Matt's
• 34:52
  jacket makes him blend into the background, so it kind of looks like a
• 34:55
  floating head, just just a touch. Yeah, it's hello jacket though,
• 35:00
  Oh thank you. I bought it in order to increase confidence by pretty good
• 35:09
  by disappearing into the Background's confidence is yeah. Okay, So twenty one ninety
• 35:17
  five is your number? Is this next item higher or lower than that?
• 35:22
  Smell like buffy summers orchids, pink amber and musk. So I think this
• 35:30
  is higher because homemade sense are so expensive, I have nothing to base this
• 35:37
  on, so I'm just gonna go with my slayer and say, yeah,
• 35:40
  it's gotta be higher. Definitely good watch you do that, but should you
• 35:45
  have trusted just layah? No, hello, this is sixteen dollars to smell
• 35:52
  like Buffy Summers, which is apparently was the Slayer from Buffy and then not
• 35:58
  the metal band Slayer, because I mean that I could purchase for sixteen Oh
• 36:02
  yeah, okay, no, sorry, I've just reread it. Yep,
• 36:05
  it is okay, great, great metal smell. Yeah, that's yeah.
• 36:08
  The mental singer smells not as expensive? Can't be Come on, that's the
• 36:13
  musk we're talking essentially here. All right. You look at her and you
• 36:17
  know she smells amazing. You just do m keep for sixteen dollars. You
• 36:22
  can you can have that too. You keep saying SMG and I keep singing
• 36:28
  MSG. Oh no, that's a very different thing. Yeah, medicine square
• 36:37
  gotten what it doesn't make you go to sleep on Thanksgiving? Okay, okay,
• 36:44
  sixteen dollars is your number. Next item Buffy the Vampire Slay a TV
• 36:49
  series, individual prayer, Candle Willow Rosenbug I mean cold on. It can't
• 36:54
  be lower again, can it? I mean? Okay, let's think supplies
• 36:59
  wise. You gotta buy the case for it and then put the candle in
• 37:02
  it homemade candles? Does it does it have an image of Willow Rosenberg on
• 37:08
  it? Or is it just just does the listing just it's like a prayer
• 37:15
  candle. Caroline's got it. Yeah, like you know those like Catholic candles
• 37:19
  that have like saints on them. It's that, but it's willow and they're
• 37:23
  pretty I mean yeah, no kidding, um, they're pretty big too.
• 37:29
  They're like this big. So what are your thoughts? It's got to be
• 37:31
  higher, That's what I'm thinking too, because the last two have been lower.
• 37:36
  I mean, if we if we're gaming the game here, what what
• 37:38
  what a good host would do is think they're gonna think there's no way this
• 37:42
  is going to be lower, and it's lower, and it's lower. Yeah,
• 37:46
  but don't do that. But just thinking about the prayer candle. You
• 37:50
  got to print on it, uh, and you gotta wrap it and all
• 37:53
  that extra stuff. So right, yeah, cost, you're literally losing money
• 37:59
  at that point. It's lower than sixteen. Yeah, I'm gonna go with
• 38:01
  higher. I agree, Yeah, you're going with high. It is higher.
• 38:05
  This one is higher. Twenty two dollars. That's about what I thought
• 38:08
  it was going to be actually so, so how do you know that he's
• 38:14
  still a little higher? Yeah? I would have thought thirty at least a
• 38:19
  bargain. But then again, I've never made campbells, so what do I
• 38:22
  know? Yeah? Good time to stop. Stop? Yeah you know what
• 38:27
  the yea, you know the process. Okay, I have one final item
• 38:32
  for you on this Etsy list. Is it higher or lower than twenty two
• 38:36
  dollars? Holy water vial Buffy the Vampire slayher replica brilliant Um literally selling water.
• 38:45
  Oh yes, However, Aaron, there is a part of me that
• 38:49
  thinks that perhaps this could be higher, but I do, like my heart,
• 38:52
  hopes it's lower. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, No,
• 38:55
  I completely understand um, but like it. If it's a replica that and
• 39:00
  that means they modeled it after the ones on the show, right, which
• 39:07
  means that there were some glasswork involved, likely and they probably did etching into
• 39:10
  the glass. If I remember the vials that they were seen in the show,
• 39:17
  usually in Giles's shop, the Magic Box, Like they were pretty plain
• 39:22
  vials, but they did have like a Holy Cross sticker on them, I
• 39:25
  think, or something like that. They weren't that extravagant. They weren't.
• 39:30
  No, it's probably going to be like a little higher or a little lower
• 39:32
  to what we're at now, because we're at twenty two. So my gut
• 39:37
  says a little lower like eighteen or nineteen. Okay, I'm going with that.
• 39:40
  I don't really have a strong opinion, honestly, Okay, a little
• 39:45
  lower, Yeah, all right, let's go. Okay, we're gonna go
• 39:47
  lower. You're saying lower, it's actually higher. I'm so scared as literally
• 39:54
  just selling Walter. There was some pretty good looking replicas that looked like they
• 40:00
  we're from the show for like about twenty bucks. But this listing in particular
• 40:02
  was just those little glass bottles that I've definitely seen at Target with like a
• 40:07
  printed out vampire written on it, and they were charging thirty dollars for it.
• 40:13
  It's it's wild, that's terrible. I feel a little bit vindicated that
• 40:17
  most people are not charging this, right yea, yeah, Sarah, yeah,
• 40:22
  yeah, there's just someone they're scamming, the phantom. Yeah, but
• 40:27
  that is your list. You scored two points on that list out of a
• 40:30
  potential six. Okay, yeah, it's so yeah. They were probably gonna
• 40:37
  do pretty similarly with Facebook Marketplace yeah, let's yeah, let's move on over
• 40:44
  to hell Mouth and yeah, this is this is Facebook marketplace. Mostly used
• 40:49
  items, could be vintage items as well, but definitely people selling secondhand.
• 40:54
  So your first item that I'm looking for a number four is Buffy the Pious
• 41:00
  Laya the complete series one to seven DVDs, open brackets, missing disc three
• 41:05
  of the second season, closed brackets. Oh damn, season three. Come
• 41:12
  on, I watched it too much at work. I mean back in the
• 41:15
  day, they were expensive a piece, like what do you have an easy
• 41:20
  season? Um, but it has to be there's one missing. I know
• 41:24
  there's one missing, so it's got to be like eighty bucks. Like,
• 41:30
  but the resale value on those if you can watch shows on like streaming services
• 41:37
  a lot of discs, I don't know if they go for that much anymore.
• 41:39
  I was going to say twenty bucks. I'm down with that. I've
• 41:44
  never been on this Facebook, mar. I don't think it's I don't think
• 41:46
  it's up there, because that's just like if it is, it's like thirty
• 41:50
  six or some ship. But I think twenty of the good safe value.
• 41:52
  That's fair because they weren't expensive back in the day. And yeah, you
• 41:55
  just watch it anywhere on your phone now. Yeah, and so I think
• 42:00
  it would be like people who wanted to collect them on DVD, but then
• 42:04
  they'd find somewhere else to find another one. So twenty would be my thought.
• 42:07
  Happy to go with twenty? Yeah, oh yeah, coughing it in
• 42:10
  this well. I heard I heard eighty and I heard twenty, and it
• 42:14
  was slap bang in the middle. It was fifty fifty dollars. One time
• 42:19
  we didn't someone didn't compromise, and it bites us way too well for a
• 42:24
  missing disk, even for a miss it's like four episodes, yeah, out
• 42:29
  of h Yeah, not to mention the d The DVDs have all those special
• 42:36
  features that you can't get on streaming. That's true. Yeah, all the
• 42:42
  bonus footage. What happened to that? I don't want to sound too old,
• 42:45
  but where's the bonus features gone? Yeah? Why can't we have that
• 42:46
  again? Yeah? Damn you streaming? How used to watch all those?
• 42:51
  Okay, fifty dollars is your number that you will be continuing the sequence from
• 42:55
  higher all lower from here on out. Next one very simple giles, funko
• 43:00
  pop giles. That expensive, right, they're like underfit, like secondhand too.
• 43:08
  Yeah, like Crisp out of the box from the factory. Sure it'd
• 43:13
  be worth a bit of money, but this is secondhand. Who knows what
• 43:15
  that condition of the boxes, and it wasn't signed or anything, so it's
• 43:19
  not like it was at a con, so I would assume under fifty.
• 43:22
  Personally, what do you think in Audre? I was thinking the same thing.
• 43:25
  I feel like Funko pops are kind of hit or miss as to whether
• 43:29
  they're like really valuable in a secondhand market, and I think it's probably more
• 43:34
  likely that this one was below fifty. Right, we're going with loa it
• 43:38
  isla salty dollars for a Gile's Funko pop. What that's ridiculous? Yeah,
• 43:49
  I don't know. I was thinking twenty. Maybe I'm just hung up on
• 43:51
  that. I just wanted to be right at some point. You remember when
• 43:57
  things were affordable could get it fu coop up five big ones five grand wow?
• 44:09
  Um? Okay, your next item on the list higher or lower than
• 44:13
  forty dollars? Buffy the Vampire Slayer Chaos Bleeds for the PS two PlayStation two.
• 44:21
  Oh, we should have gone with the Facebook. Yeah, it's gonna
• 44:24
  be higher because PlayStation two games are freaking expensive. I just have a feeling
• 44:29
  higher than forty blocks. Do you think so? Do you think it's gonna
• 44:32
  be lower than it? I mean, as hard as it is getting your
• 44:37
  hands on the original council, the only way you can plays like through an
• 44:39
  emulator. Mm. I don't know that they got the other machines that can
• 44:44
  do it. That's just me personally as a video game person. I think
• 44:46
  those things are expensive. Sure, it's a collectible, it's probably worth more.
• 44:50
  Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But your teammates have a lot of
• 44:53
  knowledge here. Yeah, I'm gonna go with them. We can say higher
• 44:58
  higher, Yeah, cool, say Hia, it's a guess. Yes,
• 45:02
  it's actually lower, it's lower. You can get this one full. The
• 45:07
  magic number that day is twenty dollars. Damn guy, I told you I'd
• 45:13
  screw this up at some point. Yes, two games are not that expensive
• 45:16
  unless they're like niche Japanese RPGs. Oh really, you can get a lot
• 45:21
  of PS two games for like ten twenty bucks. No kidding. I'm sure
• 45:24
  Buffy would be among them because that was a big release. It was on
• 45:28
  all the major systems, so damn man. We even called our shot and
• 45:31
  just missed. Anyways, okay to me anymore done? Has anyone played this
• 45:37
  game out with interest? Then you won't play Chaos Bleeds for the PS two.
• 45:42
  I played the original game on the Xbox, absolutely loved it. Played
• 45:45
  cast Bleeds and was like, okay, it's a little worse. Okay,
• 45:50
  it's it's it's all right, it's at best, all right, classic sequel
• 45:53
  stuff there. Yeah, Okay, your next nightem high or lower than twenty
• 45:58
  dollars Buffy the Vampire Slay Up board game two thousand, unpunched tokens and game
• 46:02
  bags. Okay, unpunched tokens. You have this to actually wait, Aaron,
• 46:10
  is this the legend legendary game. I don't know. I'd have to
• 46:15
  ask, is that I don't think this is the legendary one. This is
• 46:16
  the one by Jasco Games probably, or it might be earlier than that.
• 46:21
  It might be like the actual board game that had like tracks. It was
• 46:24
  like it was like Candyland almost literally moved your characters along the board. Um,
• 46:30
  well, it's certainly not my item, so I'm gonna shut up keep
• 46:37
  telling us about your habit. But yeah, I know, I'm pretty sure
• 46:42
  it's probably higher because bar games. I've seen the prices of bar games and
• 46:47
  yeah, so far just whoa walk there. I'm just glad that you said
• 46:52
  higher, so I don't have to say anything. And if it's if we're
• 46:55
  wrong again, it's your fault, not mine. Well we're going up twenty
• 47:00
  I know. I really think it's gonna be worth less than twenty bucks.
• 47:02
  Yeah yeah, he's like pointed a mad. It's like he would you would
• 47:07
  you wouldn't betray me twice? It's entirely possible. It's again like my my
• 47:19
  Funko Pops argument of like classic games I feel like are kind of hit and
• 47:23
  miss. Like some of them, those original runs are going to be collectibles
• 47:29
  at high prices, but some of them are just going to be a game
• 47:34
  that was Okay, I know nothing about this game. Unfortunately, you gont
• 47:37
  have like mouse Trap for less than twenty bucks nowadays Vampire Traps the same thing.
• 47:45
  But it's like a wooden cage that comes down the still never works.
• 47:49
  It just breaks right for you, and Dad gets angry about where all the
• 47:52
  missing pieces on. No, just me, okay, it's a whole thing.
• 47:54
  It's a whole thing. I think everybody, why were you hiding pieces
• 47:58
  as messed up so high higher or lower than twenty dollars higher? I thing
• 48:06
  is that what we went was, I don't know, we're gonna go over
• 48:08
  here. And I made the mistake last time, your captain, and I
• 48:13
  made the mistake of not enforcing my twenty dollars thing. I made the mistake
• 48:17
  of not enforcing that twenty dollars should So I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna veto I
• 48:23
  don't want to stay lower because I missed that one. You're gonna if I
• 48:28
  am wrong, I will listen to you guys on every single thing. All
• 48:36
  right, Well, let the drama and complicated team politics commence, because this
• 48:39
  is high. It's forty nine dollars. I was gonna say, Um,
• 48:45
  So, licensed board games either stay the same as they were when they came
• 48:49
  out, or they get ridiculously expensive. If they're popular and people want to
• 48:53
  play them, they'll get ridiculous. Like the Battlestar Galactica board game is like
• 48:59
  three hundred, one hundred dollars. It came out at like eighty geez um.
• 49:05
  So I was thinking the Buffy board game has to be somewhere around fifty
• 49:08
  or higher. So and I can't say that that's not the one I have.
• 49:14
  The one I actually have is from like the twenty tens, and it's
• 49:16
  like pandemic. Oh cool. Yeah, you play as each of the characters
• 49:22
  and you're trying to stave off the vampires and demons long enough to uh,
• 49:25
  basically save the town of Sunny Gale. It's it's very cool. That's good,
• 49:29
  that's fun. I'll bring it next time we're coming to Philly. Yes,
• 49:31
  oh my gosh, Sarah, Oh wait, I won't be involved in
• 49:34
  that. Mighty yeah, come to man. That's fine, But you gotta
• 49:38
  watch Buffy before yea. If I've got enough time to binge it, then
• 49:42
  yeah, yeah, you'll number. It's forty nine dollars higher aloa and maybe
• 49:46
  stop listening to al Key. Yeah, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ohs action
• 49:52
  figure with accessories bracket sealed. The accessories is where wolf stuff. It's got.
• 49:57
  It's God's gotta be, the world gotta be. It's so cool.
• 50:00
  I would pay forty bucks for that. Do you think it's lower? Wait,
• 50:04
  it's unopened, sealed. I don't know all what do you say this
• 50:08
  time? I've been right every time? Have I? I don't think I
• 50:13
  have I've been wrong. Um, it's kind of hard with action figures because
• 50:17
  yeah, unlessen it's like a niche thing, but I don't know it's it's
• 50:22
  enough of one I think where it probably could be worth more nine more than
• 50:29
  forty nine l and maybe closer to sixty. But I kind of feel like
• 50:31
  with this one though, because the character probably less. Yeah, not a
• 50:37
  dig at Seth Green, but probably less. I think Matt's like they're doing
• 50:43
  this is that close one? Or like, all right, it's something going
• 50:45
  to be off by a few dollars. I think it's going to be lower.
• 50:49
  What do you think, Audre? I think I am also inclined to
• 50:52
  say lower. Okay, see, this is it team, We're all in
• 50:54
  agreement, right, this is this is going to be the moment where we
• 50:58
  where we start crushing them. Okay, yeah, okay saying lower than forty
• 51:02
  nine dollars. Yeah, Brill's action figure it is it's thirty five dollars.
• 51:07
  That's gonna be a point. You are united, yes, just like the
• 51:14
  Scooby Gang. You know, we when we work together, we can't lose.
• 51:22
  Dang it, we could die, but like we can't lose. No,
• 51:28
  that's that's the one thing that won't happen on this game show. No
• 51:30
  one will die. I feel I feel like I've jinked it now for some
• 51:34
  reason. Everyone stay healthy. No, you would die for a bit looking
• 51:52
  actors. Man. Okay, I have one final item on your list of
• 52:01
  Facebook marketplace items. Your number is thirty five dollars? Is this higher roll?
• 52:06
  Lower than that Buffy the Bunny Slayer porcelain horror doll? I don't know
• 52:12
  what I wanted the bunnies. Okay, what do we yet? I'm sorry?
• 52:22
  Thirty nine thirty five? Yeah, okay, I didn't remember. This
• 52:27
  is a thirty doll, like a like a cuddling doll, like a porcelain
• 52:30
  dollar, or like a like a yeah, like a I was gonna say,
• 52:34
  like a child's doll. It looks like a child's doll, but it's
• 52:36
  made of porcelain, so like a child's display doll. Yeah, my grandma
• 52:39
  used to buy them. There we go, like a grandma doll? Oh
• 52:43
  yeah, okay, well it's got way more than thirty five. Yeah.
• 52:45
  Those dolls are like stupid, like dead American one, Like they're like the
• 52:51
  Americans are so expensive. This thing's gotta be like way more, because Buffy's
• 52:54
  way better than the American girl dolls whoa hold on stamp for the slander.
• 53:04
  I think an American girl has an opinion. She has one at her house.
• 53:09
  I remember her saying it last week. I have one in my house
• 53:13
  and try five steven all in the same house as me. Oh my god.
• 53:23
  Well, yeah, it's it's another one of those like the only very
• 53:28
  specific type of person would have that right. I think a very specific type
• 53:31
  of person would pay money for it. Yeah, but how much? I
• 53:35
  don't more than thirty five, not by much. But it's a bunny one.
• 53:43
  It's a bunny. It's a funny slater that changes the math. What
• 53:50
  are what are instincts? My injuring is higher than thirty five, But I've
• 53:53
  been wrong saying that before mine R two. I'm thinking we're going back up.
• 53:59
  I'm gonna go with it because even if it's a wrong answer, we're
• 54:01
  all on the same like, we're all on the same side. And so
• 54:04
  that is Victorian, you're wearing your options. Yeah, I'm gonna be on
• 54:13
  my own team. Guys like but weirds, I've tucked to you guys over
• 54:21
  so I'm trying to reconcile. So you're saying higher than thirty five dollars it
• 54:29
  is, Yeah, it's seventy five dollars, which I think is quite good
• 54:34
  for a full porcelain doll of like a Sarah Michelle Geller as a bunny vampire,
• 54:37
  I think is what this is. It's one of the weirdest looking products
• 54:40
  I've ever seen. It's why I included it. Absolutely looking awesome, I
• 54:45
  want one, buddy. All right, Well that's the end of round one.
• 54:51
  Let's ask our bookworm daddy Rupert Giles to calculate the latest scores. The
• 54:55
  hell Mouth Hellian's are on three points. The yellow crayon so just behind on
• 55:00
  two points. Yes, oh my gosh, this is awesome. Did you
• 55:06
  get nerds? Buffy Hey, the first American Girl? But also now this
• 55:15
  I'm sorry. Round two is next, But first we've got to play a
• 55:22
  set of pesky ads. Personally i'd skip them, but some fans say,
• 55:25
  you've got to listen to the first set for context. But I ask,
• 55:30
  don't the ads not get really good until somewhere in sort of the second set
• 55:32
  of ads? And but they don't listen to me, that's meant to be
• 55:36
  a joke about the watching order of Buffy. I see you after these messages.
• 55:45
  Round two is called pitch Battle. The Buffy Verse has been on ice
• 55:50
  as a franchise for a little bit now, largely down to the creator for
• 55:53
  not updating his feminism in twenty years. So I would like our players to
• 55:58
  think like junior media ex equy tips and come up with new or alternative ideas
• 56:02
  for the Buffy Verse. So I will read a prompt out that will be
• 56:06
  for everyone, and anyone can answer, but I will need at least one
• 56:09
  answer per team. It's basically fastest thought first, but everyone gets a turn.
• 56:14
  So just if you haven't response to this prompt that's either funny or good
• 56:17
  or interesting, it'll be valid, and I'll just score points at random,
• 56:22
  because, as you can probably tell by now, this game show is massively
• 56:24
  unfair. Yeah, clear, all right, let's talking about we're winning.
• 56:37
  Okay, So your first prompt if Buffy were to be remade today in a
• 56:42
  reboot, who would you cast as Buffy Summits Danny DeVito genius inspired started blasting,
• 56:57
  Oh, just like jumping up to get the steak in the hot right.
• 57:07
  Oh and then he gets stuck there and hang on the stick and get
• 57:12
  me down from me. Do we do we have any advents on Danny DeVitto?
• 57:19
  How about the girl from Stranger Things when she had her hair grown out,
• 57:22
  it was all along and I think she would work and she already has
• 57:24
  the physical But I think and she's already got a following which would hype it
• 57:32
  up. I think for the reason, I think Jenna would do an amazing
• 57:36
  That was my other That was my other thoughts. Yeah, but yeah,
• 57:39
  Aaron said it first, So I'm going to attribute that having a whole series
• 57:43
  of Danny DeVito. Oh, yes, absolutely. I think we'll go with
• 57:49
  our final answer of Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, And I'm just nothing's beating
• 57:52
  Danny de Vito for me. That's the that's so yellow crayons that well,
• 58:00
  well can be right, all right. The next prompts there's a new Buffy
• 58:07
  video game coming out? What genre should it be and why mystery? So
• 58:10
  they don't choose it getting in there early. I like the gameplay like a
• 58:19
  mystery, like a Nancy Drew style video game. Yes, like a so
• 58:22
  like a point click yes, something with a VR headset, like a VR
• 58:34
  headset, like action game where you are the Slayer like slaying the vampires.
• 58:37
  That would really world where you could explore all of Sunnydale, the entire school,
• 58:45
  um, you know, the cemetery, all that good stuff. Nice.
• 58:49
  I mean, I've explored a lot of places in Point and Click.
• 58:52
  I've explored them and it feels like I'm there. I don't have to see
• 58:55
  it in three D to feel like I'm in the Haunted TOWERR game where you
• 59:00
  actually have to stab the vampires with a physical motion to actually slay them.
• 59:06
  Oh, that was pretty good. If you can sell your Point and Click
• 59:07
  a little more, I might be more inclined to con break your stuff in
• 59:10
  your room. Honestly, the solving of mysteries is integral to Buffy the Vampire
• 59:16
  Slayer, as acknowledged by the characters themselves in the naming of them as the
• 59:22
  Scooby Gang. Mysteries is what is important to them, and I think that's
• 59:24
  what should be important to us as fans. Is the central mystery theme I'm
• 59:30
  that's going to carry through the gameplay would be so like blocking and awkward,
• 59:36
  like yeah, will all the puzzles be? You stake on vampire? Like
• 59:40
  every episode they always do that misdirection of who's actually the like the mini bad
• 59:46
  and versus the big Bad. So you go through that like almost episodic,
• 59:51
  but you're able to do it through the point and click. There's literally no
• 59:52
  reason you couldn't do that in a VR game either. Yeah, but how
• 59:55
  much you look at the venue of VR, how many people are gonna pay
• 59:58
  for the VR game? First you can find the right book and finding the
• 1:00:01
  right passage about the even you're fighting, so you can find out how to
• 1:00:04
  kill it. Yeah, but how many people can play there without getting motion
• 1:00:07
  sickness? Who can actually play it more than an hour without the battery dying
• 1:00:10
  has a Pece scene, You can handle it. You know what does Davie
• 1:00:14
  That hour long battery life means that these strong people who are playing this game,
• 1:00:19
  who are inspired by Buffy are going to put the VR headset down and
• 1:00:22
  go out in the world and slay every fun day. Yes, Queen,
• 1:00:34
  it's not going to be as strong, But I was thinking, like the
• 1:00:37
  demographic that like grew up on Buffy, what is going to be more nostalgic
• 1:00:42
  for them? Like if they're going back for it, it's going to be
• 1:00:45
  some of those older style games, Like from a marketing perspective like this is
• 1:00:50
  so this is less interesting for a for a podcast. It's just I'm just
• 1:00:53
  like, how do I make the most money playing on that nostalgia the types
• 1:00:59
  of game that they people may have been playing when they were watching Buffy for
• 1:01:04
  the first time, Like, what is this like synergistic energy that we can
• 1:01:08
  put together to make money? You and I executive Matt, Yeah, at
• 1:01:14
  whatever company we're working at. I'm I'm gonna chicken out of this and give
• 1:01:19
  each team a point because you both made good cases for money making ideas for
• 1:01:23
  his franchise. So yeah, yeah, true. I would be more likely
• 1:01:25
  to play the point and click mystery adventure game. I absolutely love one of
• 1:01:30
  those, like a Textamurphy style. The person I know wouldn't that be epic?
• 1:01:36
  But still the point and click and you have to figure out the whole
• 1:01:39
  thing the puzzle. To be fair, I wouldn't use the VR thing honestly,
• 1:01:45
  each other's ideas. His argument is that he plays VR games all the
• 1:01:51
  time. Well, he convinced me and it won them the point. I
• 1:01:55
  also really respected the mystery game. Just getting in before they say it,
• 1:02:00
  that's yeah, yeah, okay, your next prompts once more with feeling is
• 1:02:06
  iconic obviously because I've mentioned it three times already. But which other genre formal
• 1:02:10
  medium should be explored in a Buffy episode. Oh, choose your Own Adventure?
• 1:02:16
  Definitely, Yeah, Black Mirror episode, Yes, exactly like that.
• 1:02:23
  And yeah, I think that would be really cool because it is sort of
• 1:02:28
  like you are. It gives the watcher the opportunity to solve the mystery,
• 1:02:32
  and if they make a mistake, it could mean like certain fates for certain
• 1:02:37
  characters, and maybe depending on what the audience's choices were, then the next
• 1:02:40
  episode would move forward differently. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, I
• 1:02:49
  was gonna say ballet, So I'm glad I would watch the Buffy Ballet watch
• 1:02:57
  it. Yeah, I'll sticking like one step beyond just go like arg like,
• 1:03:04
  just go the whole nine, like you have to do all this crazy
• 1:03:07
  show with it? Yeah, well sorry, what does l stand? Just
• 1:03:12
  context? You could do the fucking show to grant video game show whatever.
• 1:03:17
  Like I'm trying to think, like, are you just watching the show on
• 1:03:21
  your phone? And then if something appears behind it, it will appear in
• 1:03:24
  the TV show. It's like Pokemon, but um oh yeah, I don't
• 1:03:37
  know. If any of you guys are familiar with Angel, but they did
• 1:03:40
  a puppet episode, Yeah, it was going to suggest either puppet or just
• 1:03:45
  animation general. Oh yeah, yeah, animate. It would be good because
• 1:03:51
  then, like like they did in Once More with Feeling, you can kind
• 1:03:53
  of lean into some of those tropes and like in in Musical Theater, there
• 1:03:58
  is like a song and it does like an explanation of like the two conflict
• 1:04:01
  pieces coming together and now we have to move forward after that has been revealed,
• 1:04:06
  you can use some of those types of cartoonish tropes, like the action
• 1:04:11
  sequences. I think would be even more fun if you like could for an
• 1:04:14
  episode like play with what the animation style was. Yeah, pretty cool.
• 1:04:20
  Yeah do you like that idea? Um, because it was built off of
• 1:04:24
  the puppet idea, which is real from from Angel. I'm going to give
• 1:04:29
  the point to crayons there just because of how how fast the augmented not the
• 1:04:31
  augmented reality. That's what he said, the bandistatch style choose your own adventure
• 1:04:36
  thing, because yeah, that would's great for any kind industry show point to
• 1:04:41
  the yellow crayons there. Next question, which character other than Angel deserves a
• 1:04:45
  spinoff and why Spike. Yeah, yeah, literally, Spike, come on,
• 1:04:54
  yeah, Aaron got in there with Spike. Spike, Spike is taken?
• 1:04:58
  Who else? And I I would say, I mean, I know
• 1:05:00
  there are there's a comic series Angel in Faith, but I think Faith would
• 1:05:04
  also be a really interesting one too. I'll throw her in great shout.
• 1:05:09
  You don't in consider Giles, Giles, Giles. This isn't like jeff or
• 1:05:15
  giff Literally Giles. There let's heart in season six? What would a Giles
• 1:05:27
  spin off look like? I mean, they were actually thinking about one for
• 1:05:29
  a long time, and I think it was it might have actually been in
• 1:05:31
  production in Britain. It was going to be during his younger days, and
• 1:05:35
  I was going to explore his ripper, his ripper personality. Oh, still
• 1:05:41
  played by Anthony Head. Honestly, I was just thinking going to narrate the
• 1:05:45
  episodes. But nice, you're going to be by someone younger. I think
• 1:05:49
  they already did make it. They just called it The Librarian. Do you
• 1:05:53
  remember that show. It's about British librarians who do action against super n natural.
• 1:06:02
  Oh, the first it was the TV show. You are right.
• 1:06:05
  The TV show was Librarians. It was based off of a movie the librarian.
• 1:06:10
  Yeah, so it's a little mixed up. I also feel like if
• 1:06:14
  they wanted to try to do all of my answers are such cash grabs,
• 1:06:18
  but like a Dawn show, if they wanted to go back to high Oh,
• 1:06:27
  you've committed a Buffy fan. But I mean she's a kid, but
• 1:06:33
  a lot of people liked kid in high school. Energy if you wanted to
• 1:06:38
  bring in people who did not watch the original show as like a reboot thing,
• 1:06:42
  because you know how like Star Wars fans, you like the original one,
• 1:06:45
  you didn't like the prequels, whatever, but some people that's their entry
• 1:06:49
  point and then they come in and they understand everything. I get that.
• 1:06:54
  That makes sense. Let me get your take on this. What if we
• 1:06:57
  did something with Willow, I know, the end of before the Hell Mouse
• 1:07:00
  got destroyed or wherever she ascended and whatnot, spoilers back and then others shit,
• 1:07:06
  and we just go forward from there, Like I'd be down to watch
• 1:07:11
  what happens after like Everybody's gone and stuff, Sunnydale's gone, you know,
• 1:07:14
  like actually explore that a bit in the comic books. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:07:17
  I mean, look, here's the thing I'm going to give the point
• 1:07:20
  to hell mouse because Crayons just said Spike and then rested on the Laurels that
• 1:07:25
  that would just be a good idea much you three have actually attempted to I
• 1:07:31
  should already have enough right that no more should be needed. Honestly, what
• 1:07:36
  what what do you want? Now? Final Verling? Final Verling is winning
• 1:07:42
  over now, fans come after you. Absolutely Spike was the correct answer,
• 1:07:53
  and you know, yeah, look, yeah, Spike might have been the
• 1:07:56
  correct answer, but I was thinking more of that Guiles one as opposed a
• 1:08:00
  Dawn. Yeah. I know it's Giles, but it was just Aaron describing
• 1:08:05
  a show that was already put into exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:09
  I didn't think. It wasn't a prompt answer, it was this actually existed.
• 1:08:15
  It's fun, It's all right. Well, the Dawn one still still
• 1:08:16
  wins out that Buffy fans come at me. God, people still watch the
• 1:08:25
  Minions movies and they're arguably the worst part of Despicable Me. Was really people.
• 1:08:31
  Okay, this isn't a Despicable Me episode of Gately Piz, although I'm
• 1:08:35
  sure we'll get there around episode one hundred and something. Okay, next question,
• 1:08:41
  why is he called Spike like this? Would genuinely help me out.
• 1:08:43
  I have no idea. Someone please tell me. Well, I will tell
• 1:08:45
  you. He's called Spike because he used to impale his victims on railroad spikes.
• 1:08:50
  Oh wow, that's genuinely that helps me out. That's that's a point
• 1:08:56
  I don't. I don't. Here's the thing is, I'm actually going to
• 1:08:59
  come dick that. Oh because I think he originally got called Spike because his
• 1:09:04
  poetry was so awful that people wanted to throw themselves onto railroad spikes after listening
• 1:09:10
  to it. No, so that's why they called him Willie William the Bloody
• 1:09:14
  His poetry was so bloody awful. Yeah, yeah, but I hear,
• 1:09:17
  I know true. Yes, Like what you're saying is no, you guys
• 1:09:23
  are both wrong. What actually it is is like after he got to like
• 1:09:27
  our age and stuff like not like our like technical age, but like the
• 1:09:30
  century and whatnot, like of our age, and and then he found hair
• 1:09:34
  gel Man and he like put some shit in and he was like, oh
• 1:09:38
  dudes, Fike, I like it, and this is my personality now,
• 1:09:42
  yeah, you need one thing. I did really enjoy his billy idole.
• 1:09:45
  Look that one time they flashed back to the eighties. I love that.
• 1:09:50
  That's nice. I could see him pretty suit and actually, but the points
• 1:09:57
  already been handed out. Thank you for the information. Caroline ris fastest thought.
• 1:10:00
  First, will you be watching buff Egil The Vampire Slayer, the TikTok
• 1:10:04
  exclusive sequel series by Joss Whedon releasing next year? No? No, absolutely
• 1:10:10
  not all right, that's the correct tent. That's a point about teams.
• 1:10:13
  And finally, which contemporary a lista is most likely a vampire? Who?
• 1:10:19
  M oh, that's a good one. Most likely of d information impossible movies?
• 1:10:25
  What's his nuts name? Keanu Reeves? Is mine? Keana? Think
• 1:10:29
  of that man? I was thinking he's the least likely to be a vampire,
• 1:10:32
  So they're probably definitely a vampire and it would be Keyanu. Yeah,
• 1:10:35
  he but his hair is so strang. He definitely slept in a coffin.
• 1:10:40
  Have you ever seen him during daylight? No? And he looks like he
• 1:10:46
  could be dead. For your sexuality, yeah, let's real. That's the
• 1:10:55
  truest identifier of a vampire is the thing if you question your sexuality? Oh
• 1:11:02
  like Eric from fucking True Blood, the Viking dudes from the Bar, Yeah,
• 1:11:06
  oh yeah, yeah. Alexander Skars there you go. So we've got
• 1:11:11
  we've got tom cruise versus Yeah, I mean, if anybody's technology. My
• 1:11:19
  mind was Christoph Walts and I couldn't think of his name for the longest time.
• 1:11:25
  But he for some reason, he exudes vampire energy from big Vampire anytime.
• 1:11:29
  Yeah, I don't. I don't know why, but he just does.
• 1:11:31
  Um and he's just absolutely brilliant. Angelina Joe Lee also feels like an
• 1:11:35
  option. She does also have cheek. You could perch on adopting all those
• 1:11:44
  children to feed on too. It all makes sense. Oh God, highly
• 1:11:58
  different meaning um yep. I liked answers from both teams. There so a
• 1:12:02
  point for each team. Thank you for naming and shaming the vampires of Hollywood.
• 1:12:08
  You were you were correct about half of them. You will not tell
• 1:12:13
  us what half surprise. Okay, that's the end of the round. Let's
• 1:12:17
  ask Willow to calculate the latest scores. Oh, she's too busy levitating people
• 1:12:23
  with Conney lingus. Fair enough, whoa, whoa? I like that magic
• 1:12:28
  trick I remember watching. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry my references were limited,
• 1:12:35
  but there's tons of references from you grabbed your phone so quick, I
• 1:12:41
  thought you're gonna look it up levitations that possible. That's how you know you're
• 1:12:48
  doing it right, and you just like float. The Hellmouth Hellians are on
• 1:12:57
  seven points and the Yellow Crayons have taken the lead with eight points. You
• 1:13:00
  guys, man, math is hard. Up Next is round three. But
• 1:13:05
  first here's a word from our sponsor, the Double Meats Palace. The Double
• 1:13:10
  Veggie Medley is back for our plant based fans, now with real meat.
• 1:13:15
  Okay, now, some real ads see you after that. Round three is
• 1:13:25
  called rough and Tumblr. It seems our players know their fandom, but how
• 1:13:29
  well do they know their fellow fans. In this game, I will read
• 1:13:32
  genuine text posts from Tumbler. Yes it is twenty eleven again, get used
• 1:13:38
  to it. From each post, I will omit the name of a main
• 1:13:41
  character from Buffy. It's up to our teams to decipher the context clues in
• 1:13:45
  order to figure out which character is being written about by the op. And
• 1:13:49
  for the sake of anonymity, I've changed the user names for each user.
• 1:13:54
  But again, the text posts one hundred percent reel. So we will begin
• 1:13:57
  with the Yellow Crayons. Here is your first Tumbler posts and it comes from
• 1:14:00
  user the carapace, Queen girl help. I'm thinking about how when Blank returns
• 1:14:08
  from Hell, he falls out of the sky, but when Buffy returns from
• 1:14:12
  heaven she has to claw her way out of the ground. I don't know
• 1:14:15
  if it means anything at all, but I'm thinking thoughts, Um, gotta
• 1:14:18
  be Angel, Angel, Yeah, gotta be Angel. Straight out the gate
• 1:14:25
  there, Yeah it is Angel. Yeah. Good, good job. Opponent,
• 1:14:28
  Thank you, respect opponent, thank you, respect, thank you.
• 1:14:35
  Very friendly nice until I get this one wrong and I get angry. Well,
• 1:14:42
  hell mouth, your quote comes from us a biggish dog, and they
• 1:14:45
  had to say, okay, I'm sorry. But the bit where Blank just
• 1:14:50
  fucking blows up the judge is incredible, like the whole no weapon forged can
• 1:14:57
  kill me? And then Blank is like that was then the is now and
• 1:15:00
  whips out of fucking Bazuka. How do I know? Why are you all
• 1:15:03
  looking at me? For a fact we've recently watched this episode. I'm trying
• 1:15:08
  to fucking parse who it could have been. If we did it was season
• 1:15:11
  one, then who was it? I don't know if that's right, do
• 1:15:15
  you? Okay? I have an image of my in my mind of like,
• 1:15:23
  uh, Buffy with the like a bazooka thing on her shoulder. I
• 1:15:26
  think that's just a photo I have seen via osmosis in fandom worlds. Okay,
• 1:15:31
  who we're asking for? It was? Who's holding the bazooka? Yeah,
• 1:15:33
  no, I think it's who. Wait read it to me again,
• 1:15:36
  please? Yeah, Okay, I'm sorry, but the bit where Blank just
• 1:15:40
  fucking blows up and it is incredible. I've seen a photo of her with
• 1:15:44
  like a bazooka looking thing on her shoulder, and I'm gonna I don't know,
• 1:15:49
  Buffy. You're saying, Buffy, it is Buffy. Job. I
• 1:15:55
  promise these these will get progressively more difficult as we go, but good job.
• 1:15:59
  No, let's leave it here. Please are Buffy and Angel? Okay,
• 1:16:08
  crayons. This next one comes from user Raspberry Dreams Forever, and the
• 1:16:12
  four is a four the number. Guys, what if Blank barely singing in
• 1:16:18
  once More with Feeling is because her stage fright is so strong not even magic
• 1:16:23
  can alter it. It's got to be Willow. Yeah, Willow. Willow
• 1:16:27
  has one song line two two. Yeah, it's it's I've got a theory.
• 1:16:32
  It could be fantastic. Let's pillow disappointed. Normally I have to like
• 1:16:43
  force people to sing on this show from my own entertainment. But yeah,
• 1:16:46
  musical theater. Yes, we're both gonna do it. Lovely stuff. Yeah,
• 1:16:51
  this is Willow. You are one hundred percent right, that is the
• 1:16:55
  point. Okay, This next one is for hell Mouth and it is from
• 1:16:59
  user just butter me up, honey. Another day, Another brain dump about
• 1:17:03
  Blank. It is so entertaining to me how he's so much the perfect romantic
• 1:17:09
  lead, like to an absurd degree. He's a bad boy. He's got
• 1:17:13
  a heart of gold. He's good with kids and moms. He's personable.
• 1:17:16
  Oh, we we're talking about somebody. Yeah, yeah, good good?
• 1:17:23
  Who's good with kids? I don't know. Spike's the guy we haven't mentioned
• 1:17:30
  in this round. I don't horror gold doesn't come to mind when you say
• 1:17:33
  Spike. Yeah. Well okay, it's either that or is Andrew. It's
• 1:17:40
  gotta be right, I mean, bad boy? Right? What was the
• 1:17:43
  first part? Bad boy? I can read it again. Sorry. Another
• 1:17:47
  day, Another brain dump about Blank. It is so entertaining to me how
• 1:17:51
  he's so much the perfect romantic lead, like to an absurd degree, he's
• 1:17:56
  a bad boy. He's got a heart of gold, he's good with kids
• 1:17:58
  and mom's personable. Crap, it's not Angel again. This is just back
• 1:18:01
  and forth, aboy. I mean, whatever you guys think is like the
• 1:18:09
  most likely it's going to be. It's Xander Arrangel Janner's out of bad Boy,
• 1:18:14
  so Spikery, well, good of moms? Who's good with moms?
• 1:18:19
  The vampire or the vampire? The one with us a dam little whistles?
• 1:18:24
  Well, which one had us all at the time. I don't know.
• 1:18:27
  We'll go We'll go with Angel just in case it seems like yeah, stuff,
• 1:18:30
  but showing with Angel. Yeah, this one is actually Spike. That
• 1:18:36
  is what this loved Spike or very very she liked Spike. I think,
• 1:18:42
  yes, he's great. Yeah, and that's true. Yeah, I should
• 1:18:48
  have known. Not Tumbler girl and me should have known. Well, we
• 1:18:53
  will move back on over to the yellow crayons. Here is your next Tumbler
• 1:18:57
  post. This comes from us a comrade comba back and they have to say.
• 1:19:01
  I think my thick where Blank accidentally becomes a successful novelist. It's the
• 1:19:06
  funniest idea I've ever had. This guy started writing little stories to remember their
• 1:19:12
  adventures in Sunnydale. And posts them online. He unintentionally goes viral. He
• 1:19:16
  thinks someone named Simon N. Shuster is leaving him voicemails. He ends upon
• 1:19:21
  the New York Times best seller list without even realizing it. Hmm, could
• 1:19:26
  this be Andrew? I was thinking Andrew or Jonathan? Can you reread it?
• 1:19:31
  Absolutely? Please? Do? I think my thick where Blank accidentally becomes
• 1:19:35
  a successful novelist is the funniest idea I've ever had. This guy started writing
• 1:19:40
  little stories to remember their adventures in Sunnydale and posts them online. He unintentionally
• 1:19:45
  goes viral. He thinks someone named Simon N. Shuster is leaving him voicemails,
• 1:19:49
  and he ends upon the New York Times best seller list without realizing.
• 1:19:53
  I think you're right. I think it is Andrew. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:19:57
  okay, locking it in you're going with Andrew. I'm sure that makes more
• 1:20:01
  sense. But it's actually Xander. This person was talking about Xander. Does
• 1:20:04
  that track? Wow? He doesn't really write things down? Yeah. I
• 1:20:11
  think this person was just imagining something in there, right, all right?
• 1:20:16
  I chose exclusively highly popular and liked tumbler posts, so not necessarily yes.
• 1:20:26
  Well, okay, Hellian's here is your next Tumbler quote from user problematic faves
• 1:20:39
  Blank constantly being extremely blunt and honest and not picking up on social cues,
• 1:20:44
  and when Buffy reads her mind, we find out that she literally has no
• 1:20:46
  filter and just says whatever she's thinking all the time. Yes, my neurodivergent
• 1:20:51
  girl, boss queen, that's gotta be Anya, right, the money lady.
• 1:21:00
  It's unfair that ours was so hard and there's so easy? Is that
• 1:21:03
  right anyway? Is that right? Is it? Though? I don't know.
• 1:21:06
  I'm just saying yes because he said it was easy. So when we
• 1:21:10
  got it right with Anya, I'm going with you because you said a name
• 1:21:13
  I don't recognize. It was Xander's girlfriend. She was a demon, she
• 1:21:16
  was funny as fuck, which she didn't like have a filter at all.
• 1:21:20
  I'm pretty sure you're going with Anya. Yeah, it's it's Cordelia made me
• 1:21:29
  think I had a right. Of course, I wouldn't want you to get
• 1:21:31
  that point. Yeah, but yeah, Cordelia is the only one who's mind
• 1:21:34
  Buffy read mine. Yeah. Oh damn. And I didn't buy the tumbler
• 1:21:42
  occuments about Santa being a writer, but I thought I to buy the ones
• 1:21:45
  about Cordelia beating your vegeon. Yes, Cordelia was the funniest part of that
• 1:21:49
  episode because so true. Every time anyone said anything, they would be Buffy
• 1:21:54
  would then hear their actual thoughts, but Cordelia would say something and then her
• 1:21:58
  actual thought would be the same thing. It's so good, so good,
• 1:22:02
  fantastic. Okay, I have two more or one more for each team.
• 1:22:06
  These last two characters. They are a little less main like all the previous
• 1:22:10
  ones were listed as like credited main cast members, but they're definitely still recurring,
• 1:22:15
  so I think slightly more niche. I don't know. Okay. This
• 1:22:18
  next one comes from user bfyt w because fandom. Yeah, that's what.
• 1:22:29
  And this one is the yellow crayons here. It is every single interaction between
• 1:22:33
  Buffy and Blank is gayer than the actual gay relationship on that show. It's
• 1:22:39
  faith. It has to be faith because it's so fucking gay. Makes sense,
• 1:22:44
  Yeah, it's it's gotta be faith. It's gotta be faith. It
• 1:22:46
  is faith. This one certainly is faith. Nice can confirm? Is this
• 1:22:53
  is this accurate? Oh? Yeah? Fiction? I read as a young
• 1:22:59
  teenager numerous no know what I'm doing formative Okay, And this final tumbler extract
• 1:23:08
  comes from Ultra Dope Girls. Also honorable mention to Blank he is also my
• 1:23:15
  short king. Sorry, Jos, did you so dirty? Baby? I
• 1:23:19
  don't know. Is this gonna be Seth Green? Oz? Yeah, I
• 1:23:25
  guess. I mean we're a team. Let's do it. Okays, motherfucker
• 1:23:30
  there, I'm pretty sure say shut up to Seth Green as the short King.
• 1:23:35
  No, this is Jonathan. Jonathan's the tiny nerdy guy who who is
• 1:23:44
  constantly in like the background of all the adventures through Ryh School and sadly spoilers
• 1:23:50
  he gets killed. I think, oh, is that guy between season six
• 1:23:55
  and seven? Yeah, that guy? Show some respect to our short king.
• 1:24:00
  Yeah, well, now, Oz is a short King. Was a
• 1:24:08
  sweet dude who did wrong but was trying to be better in the end.
• 1:24:13
  I think grown, Yeah, he was. He was trying to redeem himself
• 1:24:15
  and he should absolutely be called the King. I think ye didn't do everything
• 1:24:19
  right, but he tried to do the right thing in the end, So
• 1:24:24
  good on him. Yeah, good on Highness. All right, that is
• 1:24:28
  the end of round three. Let's ask the trio to build me a Buffy
• 1:24:31
  bot so the Buffy bot can calculate the scores. Be clear, so,
• 1:24:38
  yeah, there's a line we should not cross. Yeah, there's already been
• 1:24:42
  talk at botty pillows on this recording. Hell Mouth Hellians are on eight points.
• 1:24:48
  The Yellow Crayons are storming ahead with eleven points. Okay, it's still
• 1:24:56
  anyone's game because the quick Fire Round can swing things rapidly. But before we
• 1:25:00
  get to the quick Fire Around, let's talk prizes. This episode's star prize
• 1:25:05
  is the concept of empowerments. Just make sure there's not a NEPO grand baby
• 1:25:10
  screenwriter taking all of the credit for your empowerment. But our winning team will
• 1:25:15
  also receive smell like Buffy Summer's or Kid Pink Amber and Musk Aaron. We
• 1:25:23
  have to get it. We don't win, I'll buy it and ship it
• 1:25:30
  to you. If we win. I'm not doing that. I'm buying the
• 1:25:36
  one for the Slayer metal band. And then up next is our final round
• 1:25:44
  come back after this last set of ads, when we'll walk through the fire
• 1:25:46
  that is the quick Fire Around. Our final quick fire around will test your
• 1:25:58
  broader pop culture knowledge. And it's called Vampire Weekend. Not because not because
• 1:26:02
  I'm a punk on campus who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma. No,
• 1:26:06
  it's because I'm going to test your knowledge of pop culture vampires, and
• 1:26:10
  we so happen to be recording this on a weekend, so that's why that
• 1:26:14
  joke still works. In this game, I will give our players clues to
• 1:26:17
  a vampire from pop culture history. Those clues will be given in the style
• 1:26:21
  of an eighteenth century Transylvanian vampire's assistant, which I'm pretty nervous about because we're
• 1:26:28
  recording this episode with proper voice artists on this episode, so I'm just like,
• 1:26:32
  yeah, I'm nervous. I'll give it a shot though. Oh and
• 1:26:34
  of course there's a classic gate leaper's twist. You need to say a method
• 1:26:39
  of slaying a vampire after you say the vampire's name, so you need to
• 1:26:43
  say something like Wooden Steak or holy Water or the Twilight franchise. As that
• 1:26:47
  killed mainstream vampire interest for a few years. I was just like, yes,
• 1:26:54
  factual, Yes. If you don't say a vampire slaying method, I
• 1:26:58
  can't give you the points. It is quick fire, so buzz in by
• 1:27:00
  yelling out your team name. Let's practice that now, grands hell, oh
• 1:27:06
  go, I'm so sorry. There's three different things to think about. Cold
• 1:27:13
  you repeat slag methods. Absolutely yes, just no one. Yeah, if
• 1:27:18
  you stick on garlic, that's absolutely fine. Okay, fair enough. I'll
• 1:27:25
  give an example so we can all have a little practice. If I said,
• 1:27:28
  I let me get there, I'll edit this pile. But let's let
• 1:27:30
  me try and get into some kind of Eastern vaguely Eastern European sounding voice.
• 1:27:36
  Yes, master, oh great, original literary vampire. We will travel to
• 1:27:42
  Whitby. Oh great, yes Caroline, yes, sticking a vampire, yes
• 1:27:48
  good, follow it up with a slave method and you'll get it. Oh
• 1:27:54
  my gosh, so many things. It was so quick to point for someone
• 1:27:58
  who cannot buzz in for the life of her. It's so bad that first
• 1:28:05
  I kind of wish we had those fancy pfy t W buzzes right now.
• 1:28:10
  It would make things so much easier. Just remember your team name to buzz
• 1:28:20
  in, and then you can like vamp for time and you can interrupt me
• 1:28:27
  at any point. All right, we'll start the timer. Here we go,
• 1:28:30
  yes, master, oh great, pale one, you shall put a
• 1:28:33
  CGI baby inside bella swamp. That's yeah, that's crayon, that's Caroline Edward
• 1:28:41
  culin the sun. Yes, perfect answer, there's a point from Twilight.
• 1:28:51
  Yes, Master Oh King from the Old Viking Lands, you are a great
• 1:28:56
  area fifty one Sheriff, and maybe later we can have drinks fanctasa, yesdv
• 1:29:03
  Oh Eric Uh from a Staking from Behind. Yes, I'll take that.
• 1:29:12
  It's Eric Northman from True Blood and a Staking from Behind. That's that's fine
• 1:29:15
  by me. Yeah, yeah, yes, Mistress Oh, Slayer of the
• 1:29:20
  Bass Guitar, Oh, Lover of bubblegum my Vampire Queen of oo shit.
• 1:29:26
  I should know this. Anyone want to buzz in? I know we're going
• 1:29:31
  to pass this one, don't got it? This one is Marsoline Abadi or
• 1:29:36
  the Vampire Queen Adventure time. You should have known that one. I was
• 1:29:42
  like, why why do I know this? Okay? Oh, I had
• 1:29:45
  no idea. Yes, Master Oh, descendant of Mystic Falls. May your
• 1:29:49
  sire bonds hold strong and your diaries go unread. If that's what this series
• 1:29:55
  is about hell mouths. Yes, or the main guy from Vampire Diaries and
• 1:30:01
  then you throw some rice on the floor and then you stake him. Okay,
• 1:30:04
  I'm gonna need the name of the vampire Ryan. It's a good guess.
• 1:30:12
  It's a it's a vampire name maybe, although no one said Ryan Reynolds
• 1:30:15
  or any of the other Hollywood Ryan's in that round, John Smith because it's
• 1:30:20
  like Dracula. So no, this is Stephen Salvatore from the Vampire Diaries.
• 1:30:31
  I feel like if I didn't include it in a Vampire episode, some vampire
• 1:30:35
  fans would have been a bit mad. Yeah, let's see if you get
• 1:30:38
  this next one. Oh, yes, Master, Ah felt it. Educator
• 1:30:42
  of Children's tell. Yes, Carola Racula from Sesame Street, The Sun,
• 1:30:48
  The Count, the Count. Yeah, the team work makes the dream work.
• 1:30:53
  I'll take that yet, absolutely, the Count and the Sun lovely stuff.
• 1:30:56
  Yes, Master, a living vampire and one who is a who has
• 1:31:00
  a complicated relationship with spiders. It is indeed your time, and you were
• 1:31:04
  played by a man with a grooming cult that people don't talk about enough in
• 1:31:09
  the media. Oh yeah, my sentiment is exactly, living vampire, complicated
• 1:31:17
  relationship with spiders. It is indeed your time. And then the grooming cult
• 1:31:25
  thing only makes sense if you know that he has this. Yeah, my
• 1:31:28
  assumption. There's Jared Letto, but I got nothing. I really don't know.
• 1:31:32
  No, and of the past. Yeah, I thought that I would
• 1:31:36
  know so many. Jason is screaming from California right now. This this,
• 1:31:44
  this is Morbius norvels Morbius Oho, so it was Jared letoot, Okay,
• 1:31:58
  let's keep going. Yes, mistress, oh, Greek vampire in New York
• 1:32:05
  City. May you find Gregore in this life or his next hell mouth?
• 1:32:11
  Yes? Uldra oh fuck? I know the actress's name at this point.
• 1:32:15
  That might do Natasha Dmitri you garlic, Yes, I will take it.
• 1:32:19
  It is Natasha Demitri's character Nadia from What We Do in the Shadows. Nice.
• 1:32:27
  I haven't watched that show yet. I am learning that I have not
• 1:32:29
  consumed enough vampire related Yeah, I mean Buffy, sure, but all non
• 1:32:38
  Buffy stuff And I'm like, I don't know, Yeah, I've I've you
• 1:32:42
  know, we'll keep going with all of them, and maybe this is just
• 1:32:44
  the nichest quick fire around yet. Yes, Master, oh, Master of
• 1:32:48
  New Orleans who was portrayed by a pit of this hair. Also, someone
• 1:32:55
  called ann Rice would like to interview yours. Yes, Sarah uh Lestat decapitation.
• 1:33:02
  Yes, I think that's one of the names, like Lewis de point
• 1:33:04
  de Lac, like that de Lac is what you were saying yeah, yeah,
• 1:33:09
  I'm giving you the point because of how little everyone has said any vampires
• 1:33:13
  in this round. The only vampire I know from the interview with the vampire
• 1:33:18
  is Lestat. That's good. That's good enough for me. That's definitely the
• 1:33:23
  property I was looking for. Yes, yes, Master a great veteran of
• 1:33:28
  World War One and shadow of Flats with other supernatural beings. I would avoid
• 1:33:32
  the Box Tunnel twenty and if I were you, I would try to be
• 1:33:36
  being Human. Yes, oh I know the show. I don't know.
• 1:33:43
  I know the show. What's the show? It's um, you can tell
• 1:33:45
  me it's it's Home Improvement. I fucking knew it. Being Human is the
• 1:33:57
  show? Yeah yeah, I didn't know the main characters name, no idea.
• 1:34:01
  It's what I'm finding interesting is more people know pop culture beverages than vampires,
• 1:34:05
  is what I've learned from this. We did that on a previous episode
• 1:34:09
  and it was pretty niche, but everyone had the answers. Now because now
• 1:34:14
  like not too many people know about vampires. This is when they're gonna rise
• 1:34:16
  against us because we're not paying attention. I think. So I'm gonna have
• 1:34:19
  to make my self mistake like you did just in case. Oh well three
• 1:34:27
  mores ago, I will get one of these, yes, master, oh
• 1:34:30
  mascot of Mills General nice. Yes, Count Tracula diabetes. You certainly could
• 1:34:43
  have could kill a vampire with that. Yes, good stuff, so we
• 1:34:48
  got. We got the cereal and the Sesame Street character. Good knowledge.
• 1:34:53
  I got the word crayon stuck in my pro an actual, I couldn't get
• 1:35:00
  it out. You beat me, yes, mistress, Oh, fan fiction
• 1:35:05
  character of infinite infamy, Oh, girlfriend of Draco Malfoy. I give my
• 1:35:12
  mortal life for yours, immortal cran Oh, yes, my immortal what is
• 1:35:16
  her name? Shit? Oh? Go on, if you get roughly close,
• 1:35:19
  I will give you the point. It's like, oh my god,
• 1:35:24
  it's like Raven co or like some Raven's got five names. Raven is one
• 1:35:30
  of them. So I will take the idea. Yes, ebony, darkness,
• 1:35:35
  dementia, Raven white character name. I thank you for like bringing that
• 1:35:45
  back into my brain. I totally sister. Yeah. If I was reminded
• 1:35:50
  about it reading a Wikipedia list of famous vampires, then everyone else must be
• 1:35:55
  due, okay and quick before the buzzer. Yes, Muster, the spinoff
• 1:36:00
  is ready for you, O, great champion of Twilight. Perhaps later you
• 1:36:03
  would like to look at some Bones with Zoe Deschanel's sister. Yes, the
• 1:36:09
  vampire isn't this there? I got nothing? Yes, Master, the spinoff
• 1:36:15
  is ready for you? Spin off how mouthed? Yes, old Bones,
• 1:36:21
  it's not it's not Bones brands. Yes, Aaron Angel, it is Angel
• 1:36:30
  and that's the buzz. He's in Bones with massive jerk me. Okay,

• 1:42:42
  If you didn't, please share this episode with a friend, a Buffy fan,
• 1:42:45
  an Angel fan, your fundamentalist parents who thought Buffy was a sin.
• 1:42:50
  We'll be back next time when we'll try and find a link to the future.
• 1:42:55
  But until then, I leave you with this inspiring quote from Whistler in
• 1:42:59
  the Buffy season two finale. The big moments are gonna come. You can't
• 1:43:01
  help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find
• 1:43:05
  out who you are. Few sounds like a lot of pressure regarding identity permanence.
• 1:43:11
  I think I'll stick to the small moments like this one right here.
• 1:43:18
  Oh my goodness, what an episode. Just me on the outro for this
• 1:43:23
  one as Jason is in California and Audre has run off to watch Buffy,
• 1:43:28
  which I can't blame her. So yeah, this is an all timer for
• 1:43:31
  me. I loved this episode so much. This recording was so much fun.
• 1:43:35
  It's always such a blast to record with the panel show trio, the
• 1:43:41
  non misogynistic trio, not the Buffy trio. They're hilarious. I admire them
• 1:43:45
  so much. The fact that three Americans can can take the sort of British
• 1:43:50
  style panel show game show format and do something different with it every week,
• 1:43:56
  it's incredible, truly an inspiration to what we do here. I know I
• 1:44:00
  said this in the recording itself, but I'm going to reiterate it here.
• 1:44:03
  If you love what we do, you absolutely must subscribe to BFY tw and
• 1:44:10
  first time guest Caroline Ahula voice artist, podcaster. I think you'll agree all
• 1:44:15
  round fantastic human being. She has so many exciting projects going on right now.
• 1:44:20
  I still don't know who she'll be playing in Marvel Move, but I'm
• 1:44:24
  confident. I'm confident with my Hulk guests, and you can hear her in
• 1:44:29
  the game Trinity Fusion, which is available on Steam. There is a link
• 1:44:32
  in the show notes to that if you would like to hear the talented Caroline
• 1:44:36
  in video game medium. But if fandom podcasts are more of your thing,
• 1:44:41
  and I take it because you're listening to this, they may just be.
• 1:44:44
  Caroline co hosts a dangan romper podcast called Ultra hope girls. So if you
• 1:44:48
  are a dangan Romper fan, I imagine that is a must must listen.
• 1:44:53
  I'm sure I will know more about what dangan Romper is when we hopefully fingers
• 1:44:58
  crossed do a gately pos in the future. But something I don't need to
• 1:45:01
  cross my fingers for is Caroline's other podcast, It's Locked and Nancy Drew podcast,
• 1:45:08
  which made ORDER a very happy a long time Nancy Drew fan. So
• 1:45:12
  yeah, maybe a Nancy Drew Gatesleapers on the horizon. Who knows? Who
• 1:45:15
  knows? I could keep saying nice things about today's guests forever, so I
• 1:45:20
  should probably stop and wind this one down. Thank you so much for listening.
• 1:45:24
  Patreon dot com forward slash Gatesleapers if you would like to support us financially,
• 1:45:29
  if not, share this episode with the Buffy fan in your life,
• 1:45:31
  have them come at me for my various takes. And yeah, that's that's
• 1:45:34
  Buffy. We've we've done Buffy. But what's coming next? M should I
• 1:45:39
  give it a little tease for those of you who've listened all the way to
• 1:45:42
  the end, Well, if you didn't guess from the clue, we will
• 1:45:45
  be leaping into the world of Zelda. Yes, everyone has leaped back into
• 1:45:49
  Zelda these past few months thanks to Tears of the Kingdom, but we're going
• 1:45:54
  to leap even further back as well as a little bit into Tears of the
• 1:45:59
  Kingdom. So be back in three weeks, the second Thursday in July.
• 1:46:02
  Until then, everyone, have a fantastic start to your summer. I hope
• 1:46:05
  it's sunny wherever you are, wherever you are, even if you're in Antarctica.
• 1:46:10
  I hope our one listener in Antarctica, I hope it's sunny there still
• 1:46:15
  classically I see, so that you get what you want from it, but
• 1:46:16
  you know, with a bit of extra a bit of extra sunshine. Thanks
• 1:46:20
  for listening. I'm going to go join Audra and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
