• 2:34
  Speaker 5: do two a month.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I made the list out for myself and I was counting,

• 2:42
  Speaker 2: times too, isn't that twenty four?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and not to mention like bonus round. Yeah, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: that's press play. This has been I think before we
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: get into the Yeah, yeah, we can say this is
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: our biggest year.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: We made more audio than ever.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It was a girthy feed. It was a girthy feed
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in my words, not his.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The girth of this feed this year, I hate that term. Yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: we can move on.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Well, let's get into this thing, shall we. For those
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: new to the podcast, at the end of each year,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: we reflect on what we accomplished, memories, highlights, and this
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: year we're celebrating the completion of our fifth season in
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: sort of cheering sound.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And post like we were just saying.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: A big update has been the inclusion of new shows
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this year and a little rebrand and expansion of for Pandemonium.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: But it's the first year of calling it Fandemonium.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, so that's new, MATC.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Could you give us a brief because we'll get into
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it more, but brief some up of the array of offerings.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That we had on the feed.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, Well, it just felt like this time last
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: year we all had so many ideas for different podcasts
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: and different shows, and we started to know that we
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: wanted to turn Pandemonium into like a lie show, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: so it needed its own branding beyond gate Leapers necessarily,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And it just made it so that we could make
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: this podcast feed this group of people making audio comedy.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We could make whatever subshows we wanted to underneath the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: umbrella of gate Leapers, And we were very lucky that
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Aaron wanted to play more games with us and have
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: us go through with Bonus round in Matt Versus Auldra
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: and Audro and I kind of coupled some other stuff together,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: but I think Matt Versus Audre was the highlight of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: those shows.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, it was so good.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: The amount of effort and care that he put in for.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Me to host so shoddily. Oh you did great, Thank you.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that, But I really the work he put
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: in was absolutely the highlight of those episodes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And it was so much fun.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so fun to watch and all of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the tricks of the trade that he has with all
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the game pieces and mcann and I love the intro
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: song clip together for that segment.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, we had a lot of fun recording. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we were like, we're gonna do this segment purely so
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: that this jingle gets out here.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the important part.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And then of course press play, like Drew having an
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: idea for quite a while to go through the history
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: of video game movies, and Jason hopping on board with
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: that project, and them watching a whole year's worth of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: truly awful movie like, yeah, some of the worst movies
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I've heard about. Because I didn't watch those movies, Yeah
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: would I, But I enjoyed hearing them praise them, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: they said a lot more positive things than they said
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: negative things about these truly atrocious sounding movies.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I appreciate them for that. We need some positivity in
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: this world. It's good to have a positive outlook in
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: spite of all circumstances.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, let's have some people talking past
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: positively about movies and video games. It just doesn't happen
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: on the internet anything, am I right?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: We need it, We need it wonderful. Well, that kind
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of sums up the start, and we'll talk a little
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: bit more about each one of those.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But as I.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Wanted to get the talking points across in a more
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: fun way, I've prepared a couple of games.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So yes, you will be competing again. Yes, I want
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to fight whoa whoa. Guys, it's a chill review show.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is an afternoon recall.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Violence in the afternoon.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: She's got tea watch out. So these will be used
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: as talking points. We'll take some time in between questions
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and stuff, but it will be an opportunity to earn
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: your last points of twenty twenty five.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I will also be sprinkling in some peaks behind the screen.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Squeam the Squeen, Peaks behind the Squeaen to mention.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Twenty reference peak behind the screen Questions from our lovely
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Gateleapers cast members. I'm calling cast member queries. These queries
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: will be added in where they make sense, so watch out.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: There might be someone.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Else's voice asking you a question and speaking of since
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: we were doing a nod here to bonus round Matt
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: versus oudre. Our first cast member query comes from Aaron Randa.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, hello and welcome to Fake Leapers, the question asking
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: show where something's not quite right. I'm your games master
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: and possibly cheap British knockoff fake Matt Watson. Today I
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: bring you two questions. First from fellow games master and
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: absolute Unit Aaron random to Audra and real Matt, he
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: asks which bonus round Matt versus Auder was your favorite
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: to play over the past year?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And second from me, wait that's me?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I ask, is there a moment from the past year
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: that lives rent free your head? This can be a
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: bit or a team name, or a muse or even
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: an entire episode. I asked fellow games master and sexual
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: gerbil Aaron Randolph, and he said, what lives in his
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: head was auderin Matt Smith snake dancing during the Doctor
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Who episode?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Good stuff? Good stuff? Yes, that was good stuff. Incredible,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: two fantastic questions. Lovely to hear a British accent from
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Aaron Randolph, isn't.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: That just a delight?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I did just break into full laughter at my friend's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: place because I listened to it when I was there
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and I was.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, oh my gosh, this is a treat.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So if you didn't catch that, we'll break that down
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: into its part. So, first, do you have a favorite
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: bonus round Matt versus Adra.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Game to play?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I there's one that comes to mind that was
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the most fun. And maybe it's because we spent a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: lot of the learning improv and improv skills and so
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: getting to play a dropout format was a lot of fun.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: But our version of make Some Noise that was create
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: various sounds, I think.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or produce sound juice sounds, something like that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I just remember being blown away by Audra's ability to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: just like do improv in uh not so comfortable like
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: we've been doing it on stage where you get the
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: immediate feedback. But this was just like Aaron was the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: audience and he was a fantastic audience member, but just
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: how easily Audra slipped into all right, we're doing improv,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: let's go. And then that made me feel really comfortable
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: in space. So we created some fun little scenes there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: I thought, uh huh, and you said such nice things
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: about me as part of your answer.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: My answer was going to be God, I loved playing scrabble.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: That's perfect.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: That's that's you. I'm glad you're staying true to yourself. Yeah,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I loved it. It was so much fun.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Scrabble was great. I loved I loved Scrabble.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was it was really cool to play
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: a legally distinct version of Make Some Noise, just because
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I was thinking about a previous version of us, like,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: before we had been involved in an improv community, would
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: either of us have felt that comfortable. No way, there's
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: no way on God's Green Earth. But it was just
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: so much fun and so immediate to just be like, yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: silly voices, Now let's do it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, God's green Earth. We're gonna do it on.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: God's green Earth. We are gonna make some copious.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Sounds, copious amount of sounds legally distinct. And his second
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: part of his question was, is there a moment from
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the last year that lives rent free in your head?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I've got one.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: It didn't make any of the episode because we hadn't
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: started recording yet, but our Pirates of the Caribbean episode
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: with Nile and Dane, we were just on the call
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: for like twenty minutes fifteen twenty minutes before, just joking,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: all dressed as pirates when we found out that the
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants the book was published nine
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: to eleven, two thousand and one, the day the day,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: and it was just us making unbelievable amounts of jokes
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: and riffing. In that space before that episode was such
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: a chaotic, joyous energy that I think we carried into
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: that episode of Pure Pure Chaos.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, most of the callbacks two nine eleven had to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: be cut out. I think a few stayed in there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think there, I think there was.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I remember listening to that episode and I think it's
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: during like the year one, like the game where you
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: guys are trying to like narrow down the year of something.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And I think it came back up. It's right there.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Never forget, Never forget the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: A man.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: That is a great answer mcause.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: It's like something that will live rent free in my head,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: but never in audio form. Yeah, only lives in my head.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And you know, Patreon dot com, slash Gate, leapers. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: think the pre chat was in the in the video
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: potentially there were things stuff there, so you get you
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: get a little extra bonus. Sorry I'm doing commercial still,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you can't help it.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Answer the question no more commercial?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, Well I'm gonna I might end up
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: preaching for the live shows quite a lot during the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: answers to these, because they stick in my memory a
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: lot more because a lot more is happening. Casey making
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the Yoda noise, but it's specifically the audience's response.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: There was nothing like being in that room and him
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: being like, yeah, you do better, and the entire thirty
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to forty people sitting in that room doing the same
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: noise at the same time.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Like a chorus of yoda's and being like.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Well fine, yeah it was. It was perfect. It's like
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: when I think about how games are going to go
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: and moments being created, those are the things you just
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: can't predict. Yeah, that's the magic that comes out through
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the format is just anything could happen, including an entire
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: audience making the same yord sound.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It changed pitch like. It genuinely was like a chorus.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: It was a choir of people doing the exact same intimation,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: hearing the challenge and rising like yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Man, or a room full of nerds, what do you
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: want to here?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I love it and I'll throw in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: mind just because it's one of my favorite episodes.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: The team name Rosen, Kristen, gild and stuff. Yes, maybe
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the best gate Leapers team name to ever exist. It's
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: on the nose, it's it has the fandom, and it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: their names and it's oh, it was so satisfy effect.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It's so clever. It's like, it's it's proper pub quas
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: like Barsavia name of combining our identity and the thing
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: we're doing.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out. All right, so let's get into these games. Yes,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Game one is Cobb.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Let's play pandemonium. This year we have covered twenty four fandoms.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Like we've said, some we were revisiting the worlds of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like Lord of the Rings or Twilight, but we have
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun new topics, such as our first
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: craft episode with the fiber Arts, a couple focused on
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: entire life works of one person like Jackie Chan or Creano. Reads,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: of course, video game episodes like Dang and Rampa and Destiny,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and most importantly, Disney Channel original movies. Yes, so, how
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: well do you think you remember bits and conversations from
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: these episodes? Oh?
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Almost, not very well at all. Probably not because I'm
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: so in the moment.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: We're present in the joy, being experienced.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So much present. I'm going to test your knowledge in
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: this game. I have four words on a whiteboard that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: pertain to studio record Fandomodium episodes.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, so none of the live shows. For each word, there.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Will be a corresponding question about the episode. Guess it correctly,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: you get a point. But because we're only playing a
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: couple games and I want point totals up, we're stealing
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: in this game. If your component can't get it, you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: will have the opportunity to steal.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: All right, Jen's in charge.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm in My god, it's different is in charge?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So I am going to let Oudra, because you were
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: closest to me, start, what word would you like? And
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I should say for radio they are villain eels, SJP
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and fuck.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for fuck.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Amazing In what episode did Odra say fuck five times
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in less than a minute? And for a bonus point,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: what game was being played?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Fuck exactly?
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, this is tough because I'm expecting this
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: is something that I should have known and that it
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: was tough for me.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, oh, I was saying fuck so much
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: because I was like fuck, fuck oh fuck? Oh wait
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: no wait no, twin peaks ding ding ding.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, it was saying coffee backwards is e fuk yep oh,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: And Brayton was like, stop just saying the word fuck
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: at me.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's exactly what it is. And I'll give you the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: bonus point. It was a backwards talking game that he
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: called flip it and Reverse It. And I say he
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: because it was Drew hosting. That's our talking point for
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: this question. We had a couple of co guest hosts
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: this year, but our first episode getting Matt in the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: player chair was the Twin Peaks episode where Bat had
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: all of his friends and his lovely wife roasting the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: shit out of the first twenty minutes.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: That's all I remember from that recording. No, I do
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: remember the fantastic games. They were a lot of fun,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: but the first twenty twenty five minutes is wait, wait,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: hang on a minute, screw me.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I guess I love when we can get Graham in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the studio or anywhere near the show because like any
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: having any childhood friend around, they are there to be
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: like no balance, Yes, even him out.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Graham does not hold back now under no circumstance. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it was a joy. It was a joy to be
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his teammate.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It was very fun, and Drew hosted beautifully, brought in
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of new games and styles.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That was a really fun one to listen to, especially
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: straight out the gate.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like now that we're a year removed
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: from doing twin peaks. I feel like there's a backwards
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: talking game to be had to just play in lots
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: of different fandoms.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, like backwards talking anything that has iconic quotes. Yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: anything that's quotable. You could do a backwards talking game
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: and I would play it right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That lives rent free in my head. You fuck enif mad,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: damn fine coffee damn. All right, that is fuck gone.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: So Matt, you have a villain SJP and eels.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: All right, if you think you're gonna write the word
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: eels on a board and have me not pick it,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: let's go eels.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go eels.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: In what episode was the remark Google was having a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: tough time with eels, and so does science honestly?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Said?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, Google was having a tough time with eels,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: and so is science. Honestly. That could I mean, that
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: could be any I'm thinking like two thousands is like
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Google being a thing, like it's absolute, like peak of
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: entering culture, and so there's part of me that wants
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: to say Disney Channel is what it's from.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: Mmm?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Is that your final answer? Well, you did say ding
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: ding ding immediately for Audra and not when.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I'll give you one more stab at it before it's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: gonna get past Dodger for a try.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Let's go with just because eels were in the ocean,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Pirates of the Caribbean.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: No, unfortunately, Adre, do you have a guess? I might
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: be thinking of a different space show. But is it Firefly?
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: No?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: This was from the Monty Python episode We're in Hungarian.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Ben had, uh, my hovercraft is full of eels. Yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and Aaron kept trying to use Google Translates to figure
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that out. And Aaron said, Google is having a tough
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: time with eels because it picked up hovercraft and oder bang.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: The woman in stem said, and so does science. Honestly
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: don't know how eels reproduce. And that's wild because we've
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: never run out of eels somehow. But now they're talking
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: point here about our guests post Ben. Yes, Python, my Python.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that was so much fun. Yeah, that was a blast.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: He expanded the the five three to two game into
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: there being a wheel, yes, and put in the extra effort,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, this is so much showmanship.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I can't do this every two weeks.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: That's why we do it once.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I think that's one of the really fun things about
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I think I've only guest hosted one, but like throwing
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: extra little things. It's like, okay, I'm doing one. I
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: could put a little razzle dazzle. Yeah, do a little extra.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I put a little spice on that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I feel really bad for not remembering that one because
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: it was such a good bit. Look, it's funny comedy
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: from fifty years ago. Yeah, but also are then trying
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: to understand it on top of it? Was was great you.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Were the runner.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It was right after you brought up a corkscrew as
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a torture device.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: That's right, it was the mass Tasker.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: I should listen to my own podcast, you know you should.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I should listen to my own podcast. It turns out
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it's pretty good.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. We make a fun show. Oh my god, damn. Okay,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: anddra villain or SJP, I'm gonna go villain villain Okay?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Now, twenty twenty four was more your villainy or a
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: stuff that much? I remember for sure.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: So and again this is all referencing studio recorded episodes.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: In what episode did Odres say that she has never
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: actually been angry out?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: A villain?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Matt has portrayed in an opening copy until this one.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And for the bonus points, if you can remember the villain, Oh.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: My gosh, because at the beginning of the episodes, you're like,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: it's me thus and such, Who's thus and such?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: And it's a villain.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Hm oh, it's just a little joke for everyone at
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the top.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And it's a it's positioning himself as the bad guy,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and it's good.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: And I genuinely have no idea who am I offended by?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Who am I deeply offended by? I wanted to make
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: them tricky, Yes, Doctor Who. If you were like and
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: person who trapped Rose Tyler and the Doctor on opposite
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: sides of the universe, I would be genuinely offended.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Doctor Who as my answer.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, No, Matt, do you remember I'm gettings memory of
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: writing because I'm trying to think about me writing them
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and what would have made Audre No, how damn are
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you so?
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I might have said something about Scooby Doo.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: No.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: This is one of my favorite bits and one of
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: my favorite episodes. The musical episode where you have portrayed
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: yourself as the person sat next to you singing along.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: To the show you paid two hundred dollars to watch. Yeah,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that would yep, And.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Matt Rodra immediately said, I legitimately have never been actually angry,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: but this.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: One because it's a real life villain.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It's a real person.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: It's not just a Darth Fader.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: No, it's not a Darth Vader. It's a real person.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's a real person. I could punch in the face. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: can't punch Vader in the face.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Can't. I could try, You could try, you can try, okay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: or do not? There is no try. There is no try.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: All right, Matt.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: That means that you have the last word, which is
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: in fact initials. In what episode did we find out
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: that Sarah Jessica Parker opens her own front door?
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: What is this show that we I don't know what's
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: her own front door? I mean it is ringing a
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: bell like everything. I'm like, that is something I have
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: experienced this year.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint that it was a fun
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: fact share during the show.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Oh m, who likes to share fun facts?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Where's Sarah Jessica Parker involved? This was an early episode,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: so I don't know.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: And if you just keep giving me clues that I
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: could then cut out of the final recording so it
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: looks like I at least get one of these. It's
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: like on you know, track Stars, where they get like
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: get musicians to guest music, yeah, and put headphones on them,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and you could there's some like creative edits throughout to
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: make sure that they look good getting all of the things.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I'll leave all this in so that that's not me
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: all right, if it was an early one, I'm gonna say,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: because lots of crazy, wild stuff happens in that fandom,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: and who knows what came out as a fun fact,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: and Caroline likes to say fun facts, I'm gonna Saydangan Rompa.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: What's not not Adro? Would you like to try?
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I think my best guess it would be maybe there
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: was like a a Sarah Jessica Parker riff Mayhapps in
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: the rom Coms episode.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And she's right, that's correct, because yeah, because also Neil
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: will have happened it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I loves a fun fact, loves a fun fact, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: one of them that he shared was that during Hitch
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: when they needed a scene or a place to film
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the scene where they're doing the ninety ten kiss, they
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: were knocking on doors. They didn't know Sarah Jessica Parker's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: house and she just opened the door and said sure.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So they filmed that scene at her front door.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: And it was a fun fact then, and it's a
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: fun fact.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That it's still a fun fact. It's still so fun.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: It was a great episode. It was great to have
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Neil on that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It was a fantastic episode as someone who was on it,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and yeah, the fun facts and things that he added
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: to the show.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things about Gayleapers. Women.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: People come in and they're like, I know things, Yes,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: let's get it all out. And that definitely felt like
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: one people's.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Excitement about the fandoms like really makes me so excited
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: about that fandom. Even if I was like, oh yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: I like this, by the end, I'm like, I love this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited about this lovely stuff. So that is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the end of Game one.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Those are our forwards that's going through a little peek
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: into some of our episodes this last year, and the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: scores are adres on three and Matt is on Onne.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know my own show.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: You know what, You're so in it, You're so in
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it and so present. All right, this is where you
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: can actually have an AD break.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, it can just happen.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It can just happen.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I can edit that in post.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's an ad break. We're back in the last game.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: We talked about how we had two guest hosts this
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: year whom are also cast members. So here are there
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: cast member queries. Nice rat from Ben, which will be
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: from my lovely voice. What are your favorite gate leapers
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: running gag it's or format points.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: And which one do you think it's run its course?
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a great question. That's that's the kind of
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: insightful question that can only come from inside the ship.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: It's such a it's such a silly, cheap pop for me,
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I'll be real, but the acronyms at the beginning, the
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: stem acronyms, and so it brought me so much joy
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: that you started this episode with a woman in stem acronym.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: For me, it's just silly and every like it'll be,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: it's every single episode that it's in. But every now
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: and then I forget, like if I'm like, oh god,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: so nervous before this record or so like frazzle before
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: a record, and then I just hear the stem acronym and.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, ahh, that's me. Oh my gosh, that's me.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: It's a really fun same you might have noticed over
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: the years listeners, a lot of the jokes are the same,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: just with different punchlines each each time.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: How dare you is?
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: It's a good like warm up one into joke writing
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: of like, what's the four words that I could make
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: relevant to the current fandom that has that hasn't run
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: its course right now? Good?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: No?
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: No?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: No, no? Please not? Oh gosh, what has run its course?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I do have one for this, lay it on me,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: But I think it's very much from a games Master perspective. Okay,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: and maybe, like the praise for Rosen Christ and Guildensteph
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: can help inform the move away. But I think a
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: lot of times, yes, it's it's fun to go for
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: the easy, cheap pop of putting rude words in the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: in the titles. But does that make us hard to
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: find on podcast platforms? Absolutely?
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Do?
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: I think this is our inter you two sitting me down.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: I know that the word horror fits in this film.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I know it does.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Listen as a Santa slut. I know I understand it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Look. Half the time it works and I'm always glad
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: for it. The other half the time, I say, that's
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a fantastic team name and just move on, you know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: being like, Okay, maybe it's run its course in that
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: we're now recycling the same rude words. Maybe there's some
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: fun wordplay that can because I love everyone's wordplay. That
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: part I love.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: So let's say from Steph and Kristin who are not here,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: and I'm speaking for them, up your game, man.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's coming from them and not not me.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: God, and it coming from them, You're right, I am
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: more likely to listen to it. So true. Do you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: have any favorites Matt that now you're like, yes, I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: do want to keep that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: There's one that's bubbling under the surface that I think
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: could be more of a twenty twenty six thing. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I'm scared if I say it, But then if I
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: say it, there's more of a chance of it becoming
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: a thing.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: So during the Marvel Live Show, Johnny got something going
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: during the pitch It Round that was like you'd be surprised,
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and then that continued to be a thing, which Audra
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: has then occasionally brought into studio recordings of like you'd
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: be surprised, You'd be surprised, And it's kind of bubbling
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: under the surface as a potential meme for when like
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: someone wants to say that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I that was really fun when it because you
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those phrases too, that like anybody
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: who's like afraid to be on the podcast, which I
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: hear a lot, like, oh, like I would love to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: be on, Like I'm not a podcaster, Like I'm just
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: hanging out with my friends and shooting out jokes.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: But like when someone gives you the gift of a.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Hook like that, where like all you need to remember
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: is that like a three to four word phrase.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And just throw it in when it feels funny.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, and that's gonna get a pop, it's gonna get
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: a laugh, and it like warms you up to the
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: space like you don't have to make anything new. Were
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: you something else someone else said, Yeah, that's improv.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That's improv. Let's go.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: But it is fun when especially like new people to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: particularly like gate leapers or whatever, like find their stride
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: in that, and then you're just like go keep going.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And just because this was Ben who asked
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: this question. I will also also say I love the
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: bit he does where he forgets the answer that he
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: just thought he knew. I think that's really funny. Yeah,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: when Ben, please tell me this is a bit. I've
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: been laughing at it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: It can be true and also a bit.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's it's the blending of the truth
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: and the you know what is k fab if not
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: a little.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Bit of both, a little bit of both? Amazing?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Well, we will move over to our other guest host
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and host of press play True Hello.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: And happy stat leebers Gang.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: I'm genuinely curious what the actual research looks like for
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: the fandoms you're less familiar with, both from me coming
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: up with like the games and the jokes between segments,
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: as well as the like passing knowledge sections. Is it
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: just like a wikipedi, a rabbit hole and some searches?
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: Do you look at anything deeper? Have you ever even
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: reached out to like a fan you may know who's
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: a fan of that fandom that you guarn't. Oh and
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: are there any that you dove into that were more
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: interesting than you expected or surprised you?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Great questions?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, so a little bit for both of you coming
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: from the research side of things.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: For the passing knowledge, I really am just trying to
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: give like a baseline where are we in time and space?
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Like what's the vibe is? This? Is this in space?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: It's like literally.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Good baseline piece of information. So I do mostly just
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: a Wikipedia glance or if a big magazine has done
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: like a highlight of what is this fandom, I'll do
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: a read of those in order to make it. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: don't want to do two deep dive of a thing
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: one because it might be more information than a listener needs,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: or it might give an answer to a question down
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: the line, and I don't want to prepare myself too deeply. Yeah,
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I don't want to wait the thing in my favor. Yeah,
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: oh god, I keep the team's balanced of you. Yeah,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: that is very nice of you.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: And within your searches and learning things, has there been
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: anything that's I was like, wow, that's really interesting, and
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I did not know that.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I feel like there has been something in most of
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: them where I do feel like most of the time
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: they will get cut because it's just like a weird
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: fact where I'm like the number of this type of
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: book that's been sold where it's like, oh my gosh,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: they sold forty million copies of that weird thing, but
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: it is ultimately irrelevant to a passing now, Yes, like
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: we don't need to know that Disney Channel actually made
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: a book of Lizzie Maguire.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. I get it. I
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: thought I had a memory. I have a sense memory
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that happened.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that was a thing that was a question
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: in a game, So I have more chance of remembering
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: it because I did it twice.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Yep, And so like it doesn't need to be there
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: is the thing of most of the more fun facts
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: that I find, and so I will typically find a
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: way to like sprinkle it in.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Later use your knowledge.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, love that And Matt from more of the show
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: at his perspective coming up with the games, what does
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: your research look like?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of Wikipedia deep dives for like the
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: kind of Round one games we play where it tends
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: to be more trivia based and it's coming from lists
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: of things. So that's how I'll find out like an
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: overview of almost like a glossary for the fandom and
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: gain a bit of the language for like references. But honestly,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing which I'm doing. I have this on
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: in the background while I'm writing, like the initial jokes
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: that go in it, and do my first pass YouTube
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: says it's it's fans, it's it's I don't reach out
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: to specific fans, but I put in the correct search
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: terms and find very passionate people who have sometimes done
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: up to three hours doing a deep dive into their fandom,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: piece of media, hobby space, whatever it is, and often
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: that fills you in on like the matter of it all,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: like the fan culture response, which gives me a kind
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: of idea of the tone to bring, like how do
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: fans currently feel about this thing? We can take a
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: more roasting tone of this because there are no actual
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: fans of it, because it's Avatar. That's James Cameron's Avatar,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: not the Last Airbender.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Important important clarify, valid argument.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, so I think like, thank you fans in general.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: But I will say I've probably done less research in
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years compared to the first three
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: years of feeling like I really need to be across
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: everything because of our cast, because I feel like we
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: always have a cast member or two who are so
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: familiar with the rhythms of how our show goes, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: they're bringing a bit of knowledge from their chosen for
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: that episode because they love that thing, and so they
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: can bring the knowledge and kind of like I mean,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: it's it's never a burden because I love pop culture,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: but like can take some of that burden, the fill
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: in some of the.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Gag, give another voice exactly, and then.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: I don't have to go into it learning as much
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: like if I think about like Dang and Romper, I
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: learned the overview of but was so confident in like
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Aaron and Caroline's ability to bring their knowledge into the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: space that I was like, I don't really need to
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I don't need to watch a video of every game
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: played all the way through.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that doing the watching the video essays
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: because if you're just looking at like the fandom wikis,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: I feel like there's a lot of times you'll get like, oh,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: there's a ton of data in this area.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: This must be important.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it would be such a risk of oh
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of data there, but.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: No one cares about it. Yeah, no one cares about it. Yeah.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: And so listening to those essays, you can really actually
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: get the idea of what do fans actually care about
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: in this space?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: And that's really cool?
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's something that is important to
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: gate leapers and remains important to gate leapers. Is like
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: the whole point was to leap the gate and play
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: and the fandom not shit on it exactly. Like, it's
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: not I'm not here to be like you. You like
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: this thing, let's spend an hour and a half like
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: tearing it down. It's like, yeah, we're gonna pope fun.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Everything can poke fun, but it like is for the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: joy of that, yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Property or thing, it's the passion, the core of it
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: all that drives it. And if you like secura in
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: your enjoyment of something, you can very easily make dumb
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: jokes about it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: A lot of the like aliens in Star Wars have
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: very silly names.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure do. Tolkien writes too many poems in the books.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Listen, Mount Doom. Did we get bored? Like love Florian?
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: You created a whole language, You created like three languages,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: and the mountain that was most important is called Doom.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Oh and it's the evil one, is it?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Yep?
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that one's just for Chris. And while we're
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: at it, talking about Drew because he had certainly a
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: big year on the gate Leapers feed, obviously being in
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: a handful of episodes, but also a most notably, as
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, co hosting the Journey through Video Game movie
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Adaptations with Jason on press play. Yes, I didn't want
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: to let obviously we're big and Pandemonium, it's our core programming,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: but wanted to give press playing our extra stuff on
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the feed a moment to breathe. That was a cool
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: concept because it felt so adjacent to Yes Fandomonium, but
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: just like in a completely different way. And it was
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: fun to see Drew kind of take the feel and
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: vibe and energy of the pandemoniums and be like, how
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: can I apply this to a whole other part of
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: pop culture? Yes, from you all's perspective, from like a
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: producing and like editing and enjoying it and stuff I
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: want to hear from you about adding new stuff to
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the feed, like what that feels like, how you feel
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: gate Leapers is expanding and kind of playing around in
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: all these new fund spaces.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Totally. Yeah, it felt like the right thing to do
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: at the start of the year with all these ideas
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: was to just be a weekly podcast like most podcasts are,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: and it didn't make sense to do pandemoniums every week.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: That would be wild. So yeah, Press Play Drew really
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: took on board like everything I said at the start
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: in terms of like I'd love for this to feel
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: like it's part of the gate Leapers family. That it's like,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: it features guests, it features games, it's like a lighthearted
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: look at things. We're keeping more on the riffing side
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: of stuff. And they did such a good job of
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: never getting too into the weeds of like critiquing the movie.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I ragged on them at the start for being awfully
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: positive about these shitty movies, but obviously that's what makes
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: for a better show. Yeah, we've been through a lot
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: of Internet of people just dissing things, and I think
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: lots of people have done that, And don't get me wrong,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: they highlighted the negatives when they were there, but finding
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: the hilarity, finding the silliness, the joy. The number of
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: times Drew said this is a bad movie, but if
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: you were watching it with your friends while hi, it's incredible,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: I love that and something that I think is so fun,
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: like films and video game spaces when you're talking about
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: people being like negative and critiquing, and well, actually like
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: those types of things, those are spaces that have that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: But to have Drew and Jason be so joyous in
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: that space is so much fun and just feels so
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: right for the like vibe of oh, jumping into a
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: fandom and enjoying that space with the people who really
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: love that. And I've had a few different ideas for
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: podcasts like that could happen, and I think about it
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: and we're like, a, but that that doesn't really fit
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: with gate Leapers, Like that doesn't really fit. It's not
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: like as close to fandemonium and energy. And then Drew
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: comes in and says, I have this idea m M,
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: and it's so perfectly matched up with the vibe and
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: we're like, oh, amazing, Yeah, that's that's all the beats. Yeah,
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: that's everything that we would want or a different show.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: And to speak candidly about them not continuing, it's like
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: it's not because of Drew and Jason's efforts. They made
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: a fantastic show. I'm really proud to have those episodes
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: on the on the feed. It's just kind of the
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: workload of our small little production group and how a
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: lot of the editing falls on me, but we can't
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: really have editing fall on anyone else until there's like
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: revenue in the studio and stuff. So it's like we're
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: kind of like taking things back to just fandemonium, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: so we can build up in a bit of a
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: smarter way so that hopefully a few years down the
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: line will be in a position where we can say, hey, Drew,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: here is some cash make a podcast for us. Like, yeah,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: it's free reign for you to do. So we love
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: the energy that you brought and even like creating something
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: to the brief of being for a specific podcast feed,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: it's just so impressive. I want to be able to like,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: you know, consolidate our power a little bit so that
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: we can then expand more in the future.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and it's great to give flowers to Drew
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: and Jason for taking that on. And obviously the family
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: of shows is growing a being and flowing and all
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: of these things that are just so indicative of the
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: beginning parts of anything. Yeah, and that you know, ultimately
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: for the listeners, it's for you, so like what are
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: you interested in? And also like, how can we make
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: pandemonium even better to carry you this forward because it's
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: fun for us, so we want to keep it fun
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Speaking of fun, let's stay.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Into our second game. Oh no, I'm going I have
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: a feeling you'll be just fine in this one.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Okay. Game two is called Live Camera Action.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: This game is inspired by the fact that we had
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: our first handful of live shows in twenty twenty five
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and sadly for a couple, only got.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Half a video recording for some of them.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, so first I will take the opportunity to say
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: that next year the live production is going to be
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: really exciting with new features, with more of the like
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: how do we make it enjoyable to listen to but
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: also enjoyable to look at? Yes, when we're doing in
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the shows. And so this game is going to be
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: review of our own shows.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Oh wow.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: So for this game, I'm pulling one straight from that
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: here with lots of your hat on a hat games.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: This is a review in a review game.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: So I will be assigning each of you a style
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: of delivery and which live show you'll be reviewing.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Hmmm makes sense.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, you will have a minute and I will give
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: points based on believability of the delivery, and any details
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: you add based on the shows. You can add bits, points,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: related things, anything that happened in the room, just to
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: get our listeners up to stuff.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: On what happened during those shows. Matt, I'm gonna have
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: you go first.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, you will be.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Delivering and the classic style of a Matt Watson cultural
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: rant coined from last review show episode where you went
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: on about I don't remember, but you called it a
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Matt Watson cultural rant. So we're coining the term and
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: you will be ranting about or reviewing about the Star
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Wars live episode our first.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, yes, what in May? In May, May the twenty
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: fourth be with you. I remember the tagline, A ha.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: All right, one minute on the clock. You ready?
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: I am ready?
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: So I went to see this live show that happened
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: in Colorado Springs, and it was it was just a
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: bunch of nerds talking about Star Wars on stage for
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: ninety minutes. Ninety full minute. That's a bit, that's a
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: bit cheap. I think like sixty five seventy minutes at
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: most is how long these shows should be. But they
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: demanded and look, I was all prepared to lock in
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: and go it's going to be great. Everyone here is
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: a fan of the thing I'm a fan of because
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a massive Star Wars fan. By the way, everyone
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: knows that about me. I'm gonna lock in and I'm
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: gonna have a great time listening to these Star Wars
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: fans talk about Star Wars. They didn't even know the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: names of the fucking characters. Yorda Easy, I was one
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: of the people in there making the noise that almost
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: was more like Tim Allen.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Hah.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it was fine, it was okay. I'll give
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: it three stars. They need to try harder, they need
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: to work on it more, and I think by the
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: fall they can implement more features that'll make it better.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Ah beautiful, And that's your time?
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Is that my cultural rents? What do I do?
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: That sounds about right?
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: You get a little you put your hand towards your face,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: you get a little bit more British.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: There's like a passion in it, there's an oomph behind
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the voice.
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: It feels more aggressive, but you know, sometimes they are,
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: sometimes they're not. That's yeah, And that's how this reviewer
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: was feeling about our May fourth, May the twenty fourth
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: with Star Wars live show amazing.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I will wait to dull out points because I need
• 46:50

  Speaker 2: I love the inflation or deflation of review. It's a
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: three out of five or a seven, not a five
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: two on either.
• 48:13

  Speaker 1: It was all there. Wonderful.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: So for points, I'm going to give Matt a full
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: five points. I heard specifics on the Yoda joke, the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: length of time. There was a little bit of self
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: deprecation there about your own producing.
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: You got it.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: You've got to look at these things and go, what
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: can you do better?
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, And we did tighten up the show. It's
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: gotten it in Adra.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you three points for format point believability.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's there, it's it's you with all you.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Whoever, I didn't see as many notes on what actually happened.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I love the inclusion of Megan. I love the inclusion
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: of not knowing things, because there was a lot of
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: not knowing things. So since that was our last final
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: second game that you could earn points on.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, you climbed back up with some You're on six.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: And five games, master, I'm catching up you're.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Catching up, and that was your final opportunity to make points.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: So, oh my gosh, we almost tied.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: We almost almost tied. Let's leave it at that. That's
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the end of That's how we review this show.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: We almost died. And of course this.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Was just our lovely segue to talk about the live shows. Yes,
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: what a fun addition to what we're doing here being
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: in that space, getting to see it translate from sitting
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: in your room with mikes, just sitting in a room
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: with mikes.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: With other people. Yes, what a joy it is.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Commentment first, I would love to comment first the amount
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: of games that we have played in the studio where
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: I don't want to laugh too loud because I don't
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: want to distract the other team, or I don't want
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: to like throw anything off like in the middle of
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: a game, or riffs that will just honestly nearly make
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: me pee my pants. Like, there's always been such a
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: fun atmosphere of just like the five people playing that
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: doing it as a live show, where I'm like leaned
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: back from the mic so as to not laugh too loud, but.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: No one else is.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: It's just an audience that is laughing with us, and
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: I think that's one of the most fun things about
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: Pandemonium is just laughing with someone. Yeah, and so to
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: expand that to a live show where other people can
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: laugh with us. Oh, it's so good Tumblr pust, Oh
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: my god, these beautiful babies.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just been my favorite thing this year. It's
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: been so much fun. Everything Audra said about the feedback
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: of being in the room with people who are laughing
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: at the silly games we're playing, the mistakes we're making,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: it's so joyous. So I guess if Audra mentioned the crowd,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna mention the performers that we've gotten to work with.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: These shows wouldn't be so good immediately without having improvisers
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: who some of them have been doing this for like
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: a decade plus, and they instantly heighten our games, They
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: instantly punch up everything that's happening and just fit into
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: the format really well.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: They took to it like water, I think is yeah
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the phrase, but yeah, to see everyone up there and
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: just immediately take to it and be like, yeah, I
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: know what I'm doing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, I get it, I get what we're doing.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which gives Audra and I, who have like less
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: live performance experience that gives us more confidence. And yeah,
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: we're look, they're gonna they're gonna be thicker next year.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: That's what we were saying, right, We're gonna they're gonna
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: be girthy.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: We're getting girthy. I hated that. Wow, that was a lot.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: I hated saying it, and honestly, I'm trying to grow.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Maybe I just need to say girthy more. No, Okay,
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: thank you so much for thanks so much.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: For stopping that.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: And they'll they'll be girthier in every way, sorry, in
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: every way other than run time. I think I love
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: not to get to behind the scenes, but if you're
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: listening to this, that's that's great. I think the shows
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: that have ran about seventy five minutes have been perfect,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: so I'd love to Maybe that's on me to tighten
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: up the games a little and just have snappier games
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: in place.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt, Yeah, that's yeah.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: It's definitely not that other people are just taking a
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: bit way too far.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Matt's trying to keep them on the rails.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: I want bits, the girl, I want dream for the bits.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: If anything, the games are an illusion for bits. Fit City,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: bit City.
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, a framework in which to make bits.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: We're a bit factory, and I can't remember any of them.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, we don't need to remember them
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: right now. They're so reliable. They're so reliable. There's always
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: going to be another bit. Listen. If there's anything I
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: know about this crew is that they love a freaking bit. Yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, So we have another cast member. Query our newest
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: addition to the team, our life, So Queen Julia, Julia, Julia?
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the least interesting fandom to learn about?
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Have you been converted into a fan from learning about
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: a fandom from an episode?
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: What was it like reversing roles for the Taskmaster episode
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: we're in.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, we will start with the first for both of you,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: since you do passing knowledge and the show pick out
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: a least interesting fandom to learn about.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: I don't mind you.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: You say yours first, and I'll find out if I have.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Love you, Drew, But it's destiny. I mean, I think
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: older you didn't. You weren't on that episode, right, It's
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: not a rare, non ordra appearance. It was a really
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: fun episode with a really fun group of people. I
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: just had no interest in the fandom. A doll do
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I want to create it. It's the holidays. I don't
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: think I want to do a cultural rant about it.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: But like take something as generic a Star Wars, make
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: it more boring.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: They go, you know what, put it in a YouTube
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: comment and I'll make it any next year.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Yep, am I gonna.
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: Hmmm, it's the tell all this is tough. I don't
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: think this is an insult to any thing. I do
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: think any SM is probably the one, just because of
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: the history of it. It's a lot and not being
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: present for it. I think it's one of those things
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: that there's if you were present for holds such a
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: deep special place in your heart, as with a lot
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: of my fandoms, if you were there at that time
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: involved in gaming at that time, it's so special and
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: it's so magical. Yeah, both of these answers. I think
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: one of the amazing things is one neither of these
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: were boring truly. Yeah, and the shows really weren't.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the shows are great at least is relative at
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: least is the worst of the best.
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's a good way of looking at it. Yeah,
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: And so there's so much fun to be had. Yeah,
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: in anything, even if it's like oh the least interesting
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: of these incredibly fun, wonderful spaces. Yeah, personal preference, baby.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And on the opposite, have you been converted into a
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: fan because of looking into any of these fandoms.
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know the timeline, but I think dangan Rumpa
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: was around the time of like, oh yes, me starting
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: to play those games at the time that we were
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: going to be recording the episode. I love a murder mystery.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: I love these types of deduction games, and so beforehand
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: being able to play a bit of it and being like, Okay,
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: this is my shit. Yeah, this is the type of
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: thing I've been in the like, I love a murder
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: mystery space, and so I've heard this game referenced, but
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: So much fun to play.
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: So thatshit insane that I think dangan Rompa would be
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: the one that I was converted into via via Pandemonium
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: love that.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was via Pandemonium, but I've
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: said since the James Bond episode, oh yeah, I've become
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: somewhat of a James Bond fan just by virtue of
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: watching one a week for the last sixteen seventeen weeks
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: or however long it's been.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: With the goal to hit all twenty five.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's something that's happening between a few of us,
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: and it's a it's a lot. I hate James Bond,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: but I also have I love it now. I can't
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: not love it yecause I'm in it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're part of it now special to me now
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: in a horrific way.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: In terms of feeling the joy from the people who
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: were on the episode, I think fiber arts is a
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: big one in terms of like understanding how it can
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: be viewed through a fan lens, like what aspects of
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: this hobby make it a fandom And obviously having like
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: such a fandom creator on that episode in Kate was
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: like that helped really blend those two concepts.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: For me.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Sure, it gave me. I always respected all of the
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: craft you guys do. It's just incredible what you guys
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: can make in a matter of no time at all.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: But it allowed me to go, oh, this is nerdy, Yeah,
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: Really Oh this is nerdy if you don't think it's
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: nerd and nitpicky and those types of things, like a
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: lot of other fandom spaces. I direct you to the
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: responses that people had to Hank Green's knitting video. Yeah,
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: where he showed he was like, and this is Stocanet.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Stitch and everyone wants that's reverse stockinhead.
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: Actually that's the backside of Stocanet, which is called reverse stockinet.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: And this is a ten minute video.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: We will destroy you when you will have to take
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: it down eventually because the entire fiber community like rude.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: We will actually you into deleting the video.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: And that's the drama that makes something a fandom exactly.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we did it too.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: And what was it like calling into our collab if
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: you will call it that with the boys from BFY
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: t W, because fuck you, that's why. What was it
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: like being in the big chair for task Master and
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: being a panelist for the show.
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: I have gain so much respect for Greg Davies, no
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: respect for Matt, but a lot of respect for Greg
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: Davies for.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: The scoring of those things.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: No genuinely being like the main person or one of
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: the two main people that is being looked to to
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: move the show forward.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: It's so much work.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much for doing that, Matt, so that
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: I don't have to be that person on a regular basis.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I love it.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: What a phenomenal division of labor, a strengths based leadership. Here.
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: You lead the show, you write things, you keep us
• 59:38
  Speaker 5: on the rails, and I say fuck five times in
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: a minute.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: I loved my role in those task Master shows. There's
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: some of the most fun things I've ever done shows
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: or otherwise, Like getting to just be along for the ride,
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: having done the tasks and then getting to riff with
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: my friends in a room. It was just the best. Like,
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: I think, by the time this comes out, both videos
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: will be available, so I'll put links in the show
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: notes if you weren't able to come out and see
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: those in Colorado Springs, because it'd be crazy if that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: was the thing that you because we'd have seen you there.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: That's in the past.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Yep, we did that already.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: We did that.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: Happened time you secretly showed up at those shows and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: I didn't know about it.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Freaking rude. That would be wild.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: So yeah, those full episodes of us in the theaters
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: available to watch.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but a freaking joy. As one of the other panelists,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I was in awe of how that all came together
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: in a way that was so.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Fun.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: But also, like every person on that stage or in
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: front of the stage was so on it and in it,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: and it was I was saying on their callback show
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: is like I kept forgetting there was people in the room. Yes,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: got side of us because we were also seeing things
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: for the first time. So very fun and like you said,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: it will be in the show notes if you want
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: to check that out from ye our sister.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: Podcast b fyt w y W, which the theater just
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: a little extra thing. The theater played an improv game
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: in a class that they had on the Saturday morning,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: I guess like the morning of the second show, because
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: the b f yit W flag was still on the back.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and so it was like what could this
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: stand for wrong answers only? And it was just going
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: through the initials.

• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well we're going to send you out

  Speaker 2: is unclothed, b troth and.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: Loathe loath, which is the kill pop. But to get
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: it to rhyme, yeah yeah.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: And also to make it more appropriate for podcasting, yes, yes, yes,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: on a loath. Wouldn't that be the opposite though? Wouldn't
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: that be like the action of not loading?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, doesn't work?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Work, scratch it? Okay? Are you ready for your lists? Yes?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: So your first list is themed to the fan covered
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: this year that have had multiple actors play the lead role. Okay,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: So your first option from doctor who is specifically the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: eleventh doctor Matt Smith, from Sherlock Holmes, the Benedict Cumberbatch okay,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: and from James Bond George Lasenby.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's a funny pick for context. Our group loves
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: that George Lasenby Bond.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, we love it. It's our number one bond, It's
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: our favorite.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: So again, that's Matt Smith, Benedict Cumberbatch, George Laysonby.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: To thine own self be true. I don't have to
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: say it that way. No one made me do that,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: just the phrase I am going to lowth's Benedict cumber Batch.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, strong start. This is a strong start. Do you
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: need my a quick justification? Please? I just love the
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: three of these people. If I had to speak to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: them for more than ten minutes, I think he would
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: probably be the most unpleasant. I get that.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: I think he's a great actor, and I enjoy the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: roles that I see him in. But as a person,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: Benedict Cumberbatch, not Sherlock.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: Not Charlock from Sherlock, Benadict Cumberbat.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: That's the choice I am going to. I'm going to
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: betrothe Matt Smith okay and Matt Thing.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: You just have to.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: It just feels right in my spirit, and also because
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: I need to. I cannot betrothed George Lazenby because I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: would die at the end of that movie.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: Oh great reference to that movie.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, because I don't want to die, so it's
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: just got to be a fling yeah for me and
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: George Laysanby.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: All Right, I love it.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: That's my answers to thine own self be true. I
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: would also loathe Benedict just no further explanation, most detestable
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: of the three. But I'm gonna flip the other two
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: because I think, like seeing I think Matt Smith has
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: done quite a lot of uh de robe was the.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Other one, cloth unclothed.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Derobing people unclothing. I think he did a lot of
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: that in House of the Dragon recently. Yeah, yeah, and
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: that was pretty tasty. So I'm going to go with that.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: But I guess I want to go for betrothed for
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: George Lesenbie so I can be the tragic death the film,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: so that I can be immortalized as a icon of
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: the Bond franchise.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Love it. Are we ready for this too?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: To do it.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: These are going to be from main characters from properties covered,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: so from Twilight Edward Cullen, from Pirates of the Caribbean,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Will Turner, and from Firefly Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Okay, unclothed,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: betroth and loath.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: To thine own self be truth. I would loathe Malcolm Reynolds.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm a starting with the negative ones, but it's
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: to not establish myself as a horn dog. I'm gonna
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: go with Reynolds for it because I've never been a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Nathan Fillian guy.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people in my generation love
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: themselves some Nathan never been for me, not for me.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: And then I think I'm gonna go with Yeah, I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: think the I think Edward Cullen too much too. I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: think that's the that's the uncloth. That's to spend one
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: night with Edward Cullen. Have you bnpire funny? He's a lot,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: a lot, he is a lot, whereas Will Turner. I
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: think he's he's just kind of just an average block
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: by the end of the film. Yeah, he's just a guy.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: So probably betrothed. Will Turner love it.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: I am gonna go different here to thine own self
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: be true. I know there's not points at stake, but
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: I must say it. I'll start negative as well. I'm
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: gonna loathe Edward Cullen. II problem at a king. Yeah,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: it's you've been seventeen for a while, so you're not seventeen.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: It's weird to me that a seventeen year old is
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: very interesting to you. I know that there's an argument
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: against that, that his brain stayed at seventeen.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: But the guy who's going to w yeah, yeah right,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: he hasn't even hit twenty five yet. Yes, brain's not
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: even fully.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: Formed, and maybe it never will.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: Maybe it never will. Hers never will either though. Spoilers
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: for Twilight. Oh my god, I am going to unclothe
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: Will Turner because I want to be Elizabeth Swan ooh. Yes,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: and he ends up with the thing of like he
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: can only come on land.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: However, you get so much time by yourself. Yes, you
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: could have hobbies, You could have a life.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: I could live a life if I chose unclothed and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: I was a Nathan Fillian girly, I was Doctor Horrible
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: sing along blog. Probably still know every word, So I'm
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: going to go for betrothed.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Amazing on that one. Getting a little.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Peak behind and Adres passed this this episode. Also tumbler
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: code is the lore of Audre and quick before our
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: proverbial buzzer. Your final list are producers of properties covered
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: from SNL Warren Michaels, from Marvel Stanley and the bard himself,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: William Shakespeare.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: Come on, so back in the to thine own self
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: be true. I must say I think I gotta loathe
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: William Shakespeare just because I'm sure I'm certain the STIs
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: from the Shakespearean period would be uncurable.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Now we do not have We do not know what
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: this is, we do not know how to fix it.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: Renaissance syphilis.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's just syphilis, but we just didn't know it
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: was syphless yet.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, and so that one that's a loathe for me.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: I'll probably I don't know enough about Lorne Michaels as
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: a man, just as a person, a human on this earth.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: But I if it could be young Stanley, I'm gonna
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: unclothe Young Stanley because I think he was probably hot
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: and then will betrothed Lorne Michaels. He's got money, he's
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: got money, he's got power, he could get Oh my god,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 5: the places that Pandemonium could go with Laura Michael.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: That's a great she's thinking about the business.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I really respect that. But for the bait,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: I will go for different answers. I think that's really smart.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: Syphilis be damned to thine own self, be true. I
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: will I think betrothed William Shakespeare, because what could be
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: better than a Shakespearean wedding. It will be all bells
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: and whistles. It'll be everything we know about a modern
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: movie wedding comes from Shakespeare.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 5: I feel like you'd cut open a pie and doves
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: would fly exactly. Or I feel like someone finger.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Yep, oh, it'd be a good story, be great to
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: tell the kids, the grandkids. Okay, and then I'm going
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: to go with I'm gonna go with yeah, Okay, I'll
• 1:10:15

  Speaker 3: for the bit, I will say, fuck Marvel.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: There you go. You can't load what he has produced, which.

• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: we do. I know that's the podcast thing to say,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: but like it is true, so a thing.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: It's just the thing. It's just the thing.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: And second, I would personally like to thank Matt Noger
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: for developing and expanding this thing that brings so much
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: fun and joy to my life personally. But also to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: see this expand from a hot, windowless basement room to
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: live shows with audiences who are laughing and participating and
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: seeing all of this the goals for the studio records.

• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six and.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: To send us out.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: Yes just before that tea, Jen, thank you so much
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: for being in charge and doing this. Let's do a
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: little clap for Gen.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Put in the clapping sound that you put at the
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: y I need that.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Now too, call back love it. This was fantastic. Thank
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: you for prepping this. It was great to reflect on
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: the Yark because it's been such a fun year. But
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six I think could be even bigger. It
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: could be even girthier if we're going with that. Yes,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: So the ways in which twenty twenty six will be girthy.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: We are going to do a live show every month.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: We are going to be there at the Peaking prop
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: Theater on the second Friday every month, and we are
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: looking to expand those live shows, grow those live shows,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: and get as many people in the building as possible
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: to enjoy the joy that we're creating. I guess see
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: how many nerds we can have flock to a late
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: night show in Colorado Springs.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Bring the nerds to me.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: We are also applying to a couple of convents to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: play our first shot, first live shot outside of the
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: Peak Improv Theater, so there'll be more news on that
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: in the coming months, with some specific dates lined up
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: depending on what we can get with that application. Let's
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: see where it leads. But that will be super exciting
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: to do live shows elsewhere because if they go well,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: the goal would be to travel to the various East
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: coast West coast places that our cast members are located
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: and be able to do live shows at conventions in
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: their cities. That might be more of a twenty twenty
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: seven thing, but that's the path we're on in twenty
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: twenty six. Yeah, just making more pandemoniums on the Patreon
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: we have Slide Splitters is a live show that we
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: produce every month that will be a full video live show.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: It has a great audience because it's an early show,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: so the room is very loud. Oh, we've been loving
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: making those. It's a bad education game. It's improvisers giving
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: lectures on topics that the audience gives for them where
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: they only have a sli I'd show to go off
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: of that they've never seen before. It's a great time
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: and yeah, there'll be one of those every month over
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: on our Patreon for all of the people who support us.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: It just felt right to level up the bonus and
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: it not really be a thrown together end of month thing,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: but a full live production that We've been planning for
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: a full month.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, just to be able to share that and to
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: have some of those laughs be even more shared.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Is so fun.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: And more games, more guests, more fandoms, more of all
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: the usual stuff that you love about this podcast.
• 1:14:33
