  Speaker 1: You're listening to a Lilypad production.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Hello there leapfrogs and welcome back to a very special fandomonium.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: It's very special because we are covering a fandom that
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: has been requested since all the way back in 2023.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: That's right, we are leaping into the world of The
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hunger Games. Cannot wait for you to hear the chaos
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: that happened in this episode. There is one round that
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: is very visual-based, so if you want to come and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: join us over on Patreon, for just four bucks a month,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you can get access to all of our video episodes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: That's patreon.com forward slash gateleapers. But there's still plenty of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: audio fun in this episode for you to enjoy, including
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: our fantastic panel for this show. Joining the always amazing Audra,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: we had Ian Bloss from Felty and Friends. 30 Seconds
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to Gotham, Alphabet Soup occasionally.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We love Ian.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Ian is a brilliant young improviser who is also going
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to be part of a Tennessee Williams-themed improv team that
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: has formed in our community that is just, it's next-level improv.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And that team is helmed by another member of our lineup,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Julia Bosie.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You know her, you love her.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Julia was on top form for this record. I think
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: she says early on that She would cry if she
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't on this lineup.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: She was on this lineup. No tears. Julia is fantastic.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We love Julia.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And joining her on her team was the booktuber James Tullis.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: We were so thrilled to have James join us on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this lineup. He's a local content creator with an international audience.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: He does reviews, deep dives, video essays into everything books
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and fiction. And like most of us, he grew up
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: on the works of Suzanne Collins.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Susan? Suzanne? Susanna?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not the expert, James is. I can't wait
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: for everyone to listen to this show in just a moment.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But I've also got to say a quick thank you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: to producer Kylie for producing this episode and keeping the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: scores for us. Thank you to her sister Shiloh for
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: helping us out with... the aforementioned second round that you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: definitely have to check out on video. And thank you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to producer Bambi for helping us out in the booth.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: The sound system was out at the Peak Improv Theatre
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on this particular night. Our wonderful crowd very much made
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: up for it in terms of energy. And I think
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Julia sang her own entrance theme. But thank you to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Bambi for still doing everything with the lights and the screen,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: even if there was no sound to be had. The
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Peak Improv Theatre is proudly independent, so these things will happen.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: We are a comedy collective, a comedy community. Everything is DIY.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It is incredibly punk. So sometimes the sound system might
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: go out, but everyone is still going to rally together
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to put on an amazing show, and I love that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: about this community and everyone who makes it happen. A
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: last quick plug for our final live show of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: year that is happening on December 11th. Get your tickets
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: at peakimprov.com or the link in the show notes. This
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: will be a holiday movie-themed fandemonium. And I can reveal
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that Santa himself will be on this panel.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The Santa will be on the panel for this fandemonium.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be wild. And I think I've convinced
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: producer Chris to bring out the old piano. Sorry, keyboard
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: for a little Christmas sing-song that we can all have
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: during one of the games.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So much to look forward to with that live show.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be our best of the year.

  Speaker 2: Games fandomonium. Hello and welcome to Fandomonium, the pop culture
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: game show that shines a spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm your games master and orchestrator of a deadly game show,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Matt Watson. The deadly part is news to the players.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And speaking of the players, a games master needs games,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and games need players, so please welcome first. She is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: an improviser, comedy educator, stick horse, and toon titan. I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: respect her too much to call her a girl, so
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: please give it up for the pit's woman on fire,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's Julia Bosie!
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Can you take my piss? You can't take my history.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Take my part, because his name's in history.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, Julia.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Music!
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Making up for the lack of a sound system, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And joining Julia tonight, he is a stand-up comedian, content creator,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: and booktuber. If you don't know what a booktuber is,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: it's like book talk, but for people with an attention span.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Put your hands together for James Tullo!
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Woo!
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Was I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Supposed to come up with a dance?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You can if you want to.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: I had no dance. Just a song.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Julia, I love that you had a song for us.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: How are you doing this evening?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I'm so excited. I told you that if you didn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: let me do this one, I would cry.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: That you did.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And I think that was at the meeting back in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: January as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Well, here we are, hopefully no tears tonight. James, how
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: I am actually very sleepy because it's 9 o'clock and
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I'm an old man.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That is so true. I feel it. I feel like
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing we're both in our 30s.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's time for sleep in bed for us. But thank
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us. I mean, we already
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: know how Julia feels about this. James, are you a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: fan of The Hunger Games?
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: I am, yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: I read all of them when I was younger and
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: I thought, yeah, these are great. Child murder's fun.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That is the main theme of the series. Absolutely.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And Julia, if we can dig into your fandom just
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a touch more beyond you will cry if you're not involved.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: How much do you love The Hunger Games?
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: I really love it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Um.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Uh, it's, it's one of those things where you read
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: something that you read when you were a child and
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: you're like, I hope this still is good.
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: And it, it is, it's entertaining. It's moving.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: It's like something to take away, you know, uh, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: reflect on the current times and the relevance. So it helps,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: you know, it's like when you watch fallout and you're like.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Close to home.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: It's one of those.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: It's one of those.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of those.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: And I even watched the Battle Royale movie, the Japanese
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: movie that they say inspired this, although I don't know
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: that it did. Because I doubt that Suzanne Collins actually
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: watched that or read it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It was a book as well. She might be a weeb.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: Oh, my God.
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: Me and Suzanne Collins are both weebs.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: Incredible.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we know you're both fans of The Hunger Games.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: James, do you have a favorite moment or character, something
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: from The Hunger Games that inspires you? So it's not
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: one specific moment, but it's really just that when people
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: are bad in The Hunger Games, they just die. There's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: not a whole lot of bellyaching about how do we
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: deal with this.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: They kind of just kill them.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I suppose you did say at the start you were
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a fan of child murder.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So it does make sense that those moments, yeah, I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: get what you're saying.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's not just, okay.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Bad adults die too. That's true. That's true.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Bad adults die as well. It's not like there's not
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: so much fanfare around it. It's just, oh, you're a
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: bad person, dead.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a scene at the end where Donald Sutherland
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: gets beaten to death by an angry mob.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Torn apart.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: And you would think you'd be like, oh, old man dying,
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: that's sad. But no, it's not sad. It's just kind
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: of what happens.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And he's laughing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: He's having a great time.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: There is some catharsis to it, yes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It's like, we see the things in the Hunger Games
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that we don't get in our real reality.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: That is true.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: A guy named Donald being torn apart. Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the full political
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: affiliations of the crowd is, but that would be fun
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Don't call ICE.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Piss hog, watch yourself.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Piss hog.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, nope. It's not a piss hog kind of nightmare,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think. Julia, what about yourself? Do you have
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: a favorite moment or theme or thing from the Hunger Games?
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: This isn't the muse.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You're just asking if I have a favorite thing. There's
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: no muses tonight.
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: There's no muses tonight?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: No, so this can be your muse.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: Okay, so I.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: Because Suzanne Collins does write screenplays, and her books are
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: thought out, and a lot of the dialogue in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: movies is from the book because it's well-written, but the
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: adaptation of the Songbirds... Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Ballad
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: of Songbirds and Snakes, yeah, is so wild because, honestly,
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: the book is just telling you how shit of a
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: person Snow is, even.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Like though it's like.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: semi like oh think about how he's feeling but she's
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: like no he feels he's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: A bad man.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: He was always bad.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: He's just bad.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: And then the movie doesn't get into that at fucking
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: all really or at least not until the end.
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: It's so annoying.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Is it because they felt like they needed a protagonist?
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: I don't know. I don't know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: Is there a cat?
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: Do you need something?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It's a mouse.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: We're trying to get rid of the mouse.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Well, then we get a cat. That's what cats are for.
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: Oh, you mean a computer mouse.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Oh god julia i think you were making an excellent
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: point but we all both everyone on stage and the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: audience does not have enough of an attention span to

• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and I do hope one of them brings out my
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: sparkly jacket, because otherwise, why did I even bring it?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It is a rival duo to take on the arena.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Let's meet them. He is an improviser, a musician. Yeah,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: do you know what? Do you know what?

  Speaker 1: a fan of The Hunger Games? For sure.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: I watched them all a long time ago, and I recently,
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: as of last week, watched all four of the movies.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't watch the prequels. Oh. I didn't get to it,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: One of them's not out yet, so you're forgiven for
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, just the one, yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just the one.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I knew that one wasn't out.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: But the book was out.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But you got the core trilogy. I think you'll do great.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I think you'll be fine.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: I'm solid, yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And Audra, are you a fan of the Hunker games?
• 13:32
  Speaker 12: Katniss Everdeen raised me.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Mother!
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: More than my own mother.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Katniss Everdeen was there for me. No, I love these
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: books so much. Read them several times growing up.
• 13:51
  Speaker 12: I only got to.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Rewatch one of the movies before this, but oh boy,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I will be rewatching the rest.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: Invite me.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: I dare you.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, actually, if you could increase the animosity between each other,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it would really help for the flow of the show.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: I can't tell if I'm the Queen of Hearts or that, like,
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: clown guy from Hunter X Hunter.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Or.
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: But I was trying to look like Effie Trinket, who
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: is friends with Katniss, if you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: Think about it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're both pedophiles, so it works.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Effie Trinket would never.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: What?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, everyone, give it up for Producer Bambi in the booth.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And give it up for Producer Kylie, who'll be keeping
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: scores tonight.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Kylie. Thank you very much. Oh, fantastic.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, all I can think about is which Hunger Games
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: characters are pedophiles now.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: All of the people in the capital. Sure. What about
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the Hunger Games? Yeah, that's true.
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to move on and ask Audra. Do
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite moment or theme or character from
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the Hunger Games?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I think my favorite thing is that Hamish has a
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: weird foot thing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: Wait, tell me.
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: No, I just, I don't know what it is. So
• 15:09
  Speaker 12: this is first movie. Movie one.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Peeta tries to grab Hamish's, they're on the train. The
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: first time, Peeta grabs the vodka from Hamish and Hamish
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: pushes him back into the chair barefoot.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Barefoot and it's just there for the rest of the scene.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: They're like, what's the strategy going into this? And he's like,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you're never gonna survive.
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: He's just patting his foot on it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I love that for young adult literature, it has quite
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of deep themes, a critique of capitalism, analyzing
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of American society, and Audra's favorite thing from
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: it is the foot thing.
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: It's just strange.
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: It's a choice.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It's a choice. It's a choice. To say it on stage,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it was. Thank you so much, Aldra. Ian, what about yourself?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite thing from The Hunger Games?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: So there was one moment from the first movie that
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: I started laughing so hard. Because President Snow is talking
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: to Seneca after the whole debacle.
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: With the berries?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: With the berries, yeah. They're in the green room or
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: the greenhouse or whatever. And President Snow, he turns to
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Seneca and he goes, I like you. And there was
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: like a pause. In that pause, I started laughing so hard.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I like you. And then he says something like prophetic
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: about how like you have to instill fear because fear
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: is more powerful than hope.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Or no, no, no.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: The other way around, yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: The meaningful stuff doesn't matter. It's the hilarious poses.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: You can't let these people get too hopeful, so you
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: have to scare them really bad. But he does, he goes,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I like you. I mean, yeah. I just started laughing
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: so hard.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: That is one of the most terrifying things your boss
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: can tell you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I like you. Am I like my boss?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you know that your boss is going
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: to kill you in the next week.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Honestly, it's a risk.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: It's a risk.
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: And then my favorite thing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Julia, you don't have time.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's your time now.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, teams, you've arrived at the Capitol ready to participate
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: in violence. Where were you all on January 6th? But
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: despite your glamorous outfits, your branding is all over the place.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: So I'd like each pair to come up with a
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Hunger Games themed team name, please. Let's start with Julia
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and James.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: What you got?
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: Did you have any or were you hoping I would?
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: I was hoping you would.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: I have some.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: I see a whole list there. Let's go through it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Okay, so the one Hunger James was, you know, because
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: you're James, and my name starts with a J.
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, wait, how about Mocking Jays?
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: Oh, that's really freaking good. Can I say my bad one?
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, so I have cat piss ever peen. Instead of
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: the seam where all the poor people in district two,
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: the peen. Mocking UK, because piss hog is from the UK.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: And then effemt.

  Speaker 13: Okay.

  Speaker 1: Effemt.
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: F-em trinket.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's good. I do like that one.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: No, I really think that the Mockingjays is actually the best,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: and this is usually how this goes.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Julia correctly thinking the next thing I would say, the Mockingjays.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Give it up for the Mockingjays. Let's find out who
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they'll be facing. Audra, Ian, any ideas?
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: I had a couple.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: I have one.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Ooh.

  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: The two that I have is District 69.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, the weed number.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: It's the weed number.
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: We are with it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: And then the other one, because this is after Felty,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and you're in Felty, and a common word that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: Is used in Felty is peener.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we say that a lot.
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: So, Piener Malark.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's good. Piener Malark, I like that one.
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: Those are my two.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, mine was, this is, take down the Plutriarchy. The Plutriarchy.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I see what you're doing.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: The Plutarch?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I see the needle you're tying to thread. The Plutriarchy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: The Plutarch is good. on the side of the.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Also, there's a real word. It's plutocracy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: That's the word you want to use.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: That's a real thing.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: No.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: No. I think we know what we mean.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: We're thinking about Pluto Nash here. Yeah, so we're... No,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: we're not.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Put stuff.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: No one's thinking about Pluto Nash.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: The haymaker. I like Peaner Malark.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Piena Malark?
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Piena Malark?
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: Yes!
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: All right!
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: How many times can we say Piena Malark?
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Piena!
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Give it up for Piena Malark!
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, we've got the Mockingjays versus Piena Malark. It's the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: classic battle. All right, before we get rolling with the games,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I'd like to remind our teams what they're playing for tonight.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: It is indeed the Mystery Prize!
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: That is the correct response. No, you can say it, Matt,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you can do it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Nice. What could it be? No expenses being spared, quite literally.
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: I can't see.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, team, should we do this? Should we play some games?
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I guess so.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: My favorite thing was when Pluto, I don't know.
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: PETA was dressed up or like painted himself like a rock.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Give it up for Julia's thing. Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Honestly, really impressive, though.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: I just needed to bring it back to the game.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, teams, may the odds be ever in your favor
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: as we slay in round one.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I'll add.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The jingle in post. Is there a red light? I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: think Kylie already checked it. I think it's good.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's on, baby.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: And if it's not, this one's just for us and audio,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Audio.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Audio. Audio. Audio.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I don't have time to get into this, but if
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: only the rest of the world currently was thinking like that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: How many audio files are in The Hunger Games?
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: That is a good joke, and no one laughed at
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: that as much as they should have done. It's disgusting what.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: They do to sound.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's bad.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Round one is called Pitch and Switch.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: It's the elevator pitch game where I will play the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: role of a book publisher, ready to greenlight the next
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: novel in the Hunger Games franchise. In recent years, Suzanne
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Collins has begun writing spin-off stories for some of the characters.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: In just a moment, I'm going to ask our wonderful
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Peak Improv audience to shout out the name of a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Hunger Games story that doesn't exist yet. You know the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: kind of thing that it is. Yeah, Ballad of Songbirds
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and Snakes, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, dystopian fantasy sounding things. Once
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: they have their title, each team will begin a two
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: minute elevator pitch selling us on why this story should
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: be published. But when I yell switch, The player who
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: isn't pitching must pick up exactly where their teammate left off,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: hopefully creating a chaotically beautiful yet marketable idea. Points out
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: of five for your pitch with a bonus point to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: whoever the audience prefers.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Do we understand the game?
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: All right, we are gonna start, it's funny that you
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: should think so, James. We're gonna start with the Mockingjays.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, I have to look.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, so wonderful peak improv audience, we need the title
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of a Hunger Games book that doesn't exist yet.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, Robbie, what was that? The Spreading Itch?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, the title of your Hunger Games book is The
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Spreading Itch. Just like Suzanne would write.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Julia, would you like to start?
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I would.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Your time starts now.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: Okay, so we start with Haymitch when he's a grown man.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: And he's been at the hob drinking too much white liquor.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: And Greasy say, she's like, hey, I've got something special
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: coming in from District 3.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: And he's like, switch.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: Okay, so he brings in something special from District 3.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: and it turns out it's just the world's most powerful vibrator.
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: It's strong enough that it can shatter concrete on the
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: highest setting, so you don't wanna use it too long.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: But the best part of it is that it's used. So,
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: one day after hammering it out, he realizes....
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: He realizes that in the second movie, when they bring
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: back all the previous champions from the old Hunger Games,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: he realizes one of them was actually played by Alan Richson,
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: who is the.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Same guy- Switch!
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Who gave him the itch. And now he's got it
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: again from the vibrator. And all he can do is
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: just- Switch!
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: He can just keep quoting that episode of Blue Mountain
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: State where Alan Richson loses his pocket pussy and he's
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: like really upset about it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: Switch!
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: And then they kiss to finally make the itch go
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: away and they just keep scratching and scratching.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: For the whole book.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: But eventually they realize that they can't just scratch, they
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: have to Switch!
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: Lube with aloe vera because it has nice healing properties.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: But the healing properties are only temporary. They have to
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: go to the top of a special mountain in order
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: to get.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: The special flower that erases all itch from any human body.
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: Switch!
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: But then they eat the flower.
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: Switch!
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: It turns out that they were Switch! Turning into Black Panther.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Switch!
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: Who was actually there to just hang out.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: That's your time!
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: Amazing.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly how I expected that to go from
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the title.
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: I was like, oh, I don't know who that is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: And then you said Blue Mountain State, and I was like,
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: I know him!
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: It's Bad Castle.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Look, I think you made references to other properties that
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I may or may not be familiar with, but reference
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: culture is all everything is now. And you also mentioned
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: going to the top of a mountain to get a flower.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: That feels very this genre. I'm going to give you
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: four out of five points for that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: Yay!
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And we'll see if you get the bonus point from
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the audience after we hear a pitch from Pina Malark.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: It's a funny name.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Come on, laugh.
• 26:09
  Speaker 12: It makes me feel strong.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Like you could lift big bags of flour?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Alright let's get the title of another Hunger Games book
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that does not exist yet.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Wait what was this over here.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: We just the last one got a little burning urges
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: keep going say that again sorry.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: It still brings foot stuff into it, so that's great.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Verse of the crooked toe.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: I can see Suzanne doing that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Audra, are you going to start us off?
• 26:52
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You got it.
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: I was just trying to vibe in the space.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: All right, you ready? Yes.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Take it away.
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: We open on a field, and we see feet running
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: through the grass.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: One of the toes... is broken, how did it happen?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: We wonder as we watch this person run and then
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a whoosh.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Whoosh, it whooshes up to the person's face and it's Haymitch,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: none other than Haymitch. I mean, he likes putting his
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: feet everywhere and he's always barefoot and so we're like, okay.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, I wonder how this guy that we know and
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: love got his toe broken. Cuts back to Hamish's big house.
• 27:43
  Speaker 13: Switch!
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Where he's off to go to the Hunger Games that
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: he was in. And as they were pulling him from
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: the house because he didn't want to go, he was like, no,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: don't take me.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: And we see his feet. This is so many years earlier.
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: The toe is not broken.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: And we're thinking, oh my god, it happens in the games.
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: This is gonna be the worst thing that happens.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: Switch!
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: So he goes to the games and he actually wins
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: because his feet are so strong. He doesn't use any weapons,
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: he just runs really fast.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: He just runs so fast and he just kicks people
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: so hard.
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: But the last person that he kicks.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: Doesn't die with one kick. Just with one kick. He
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: has to kick him twice. Because he was really, really strong.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: Switch!
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: And he was so strong that on the first kick,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: he broke his toe.
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: But he had to push.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Switch!
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: The pain and kill him and then when after he
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: won the hunger games and all that happened president.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Switch was like you better not fix that foot it's.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Going switch it's gonna make me like you.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: And it's important that i like you um for the
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: future of panette.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Managing to incorporate both of your favorite moments.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: I really wish that's how the Hamish book went.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It'd be a lot more fun.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: It was mostly fun, and him breaking his foot is
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the worst thing that happened.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's basically Rock Lee from Naruto.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Earlier, you mentioned that there were a lot of pedophiles
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: in the Hunger Games, and we need to keep a
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: running tally.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: That's true. I think it was you who mentioned that, James.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: It was somebody. I don't remember.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: How many audio files are there?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: The time hopping felt very YA fiction. Just like confused me,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: put me in a different time instead of good writing.
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: The toe's broken and now it's not.
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: What happened?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna, I think I'm also gonna give you
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: four out of five points. Yeah, which means I'm gonna
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: have the audience decide ultimately who is the winner of
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: round one with both teams scoring four. If you preferred
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the pitch from the Mocking Jays, make some noise now.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: And if you preferred the pitch from Pina Malark, make
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: some noise now. This side of the room has their team.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: That's going to be a bonus point to Pina Malark.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: This audience is into foot stuff.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: And they're not into male-loving male relationships.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: They just don't like vibrate.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, that is the.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm looking directly at you.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: It's working out for me.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: That is the end of round one.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Producer Kylie, like the death toll, could you please project
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: the scores into the sky for us all to see?
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: Cannonball.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Keener Millard has a grand total of five.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: It's exactly what we thought it was. There's everything to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: play for, but only one team can survive. Let's see
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: how things fare in day two. I mean, round two.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you for adding the jingle. I might not have
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to add it in post now.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: You definitely will.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: So round two is a game I like to call
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: How Did This Child Die? It's popular at Christmas. And
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: for this game.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I think it got crucified.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Good point.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I so badly want to give you a bonus point
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: for that. I'm not going to.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: I referenced Greasy Sal in my thing.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You did.
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: Say, Greasy Say. Greasy Say is her name and I
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: said it right the first time.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: So for this game, we're going to need the help
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of someone. I don't know if anyone would be willing
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: to volunteer as tribute.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness! It's Shiloh Walden from Alphabet Soup. Give
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: it up for Shiloh!
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: I know her.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Fantastic. Shiloh, are you good to help us out with
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the game here?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: So, In this game, one team will close their eyes
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: as Shiloh and the rest of us see how a
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: specific character died in the Hunger Games.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: We will see it on the screen.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Shiloh will then mime, using some light gibberish, the death
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: for the team to see. They score points if they
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: can accurately guess the death, with a bonus point if
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: they can name the Hunger Games character who died that way.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: These are real, this isn't like that time with Twilight
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: where you gave fake powers.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: No, some feedback I got from the audience was more
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: things related to the.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Fandom, please.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: So, we are going to begin with Julia and James guessing.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: So Julia and James, could you please close your eyes,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: bow your heads, just look away from the screen.
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: I'll just put this furry thing in front of me.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And then Bambi, if we can get the first prompt
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: on there, please, for Shiloh to absorb that. Okay, Shiloh's ready. Okay,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you can open your eyes, uncover your eyes, all that
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: good stuff. And Shiloh, when you're ready, you can perform
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: it once towards the players and then once towards the
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: camera so you can see it twice.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: A lot of pressure to make it the same, okay.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Shiloh, it really doesn't have to be.
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: I respect you deeply.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Oh no. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I flipped.
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: I got it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, and I think, give it up for Shiloh, everyone.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Incredible.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And I think you played to both sides there as well,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: and it sounds like our team might have a guess.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Do you have a guess of which death that is?
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: That's when the tracker jacker nest fell down on Glimmer
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: and killed her, and she got real big, and in
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: the books, Katniss had to, like, unclench her big ol'
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: hand from the bow to get those bow and arrows.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: That is exactly right! Give it up for Julia!
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: Did you write about her big ol' hand on the screen?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't, but the extra detail is great.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It's still just going to be one point for the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: correct death, and one point for the character as well,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: because I heard glimmer in there. Very good stuff, Julia.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: James didn't even have to say anything. Sorry.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: That's okay. I knew the death. I didn't remember her name, so.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: She was blonde.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, next up, witnessing the murder of a child is
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Audra and Ian.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: That's what the series is about, guys.
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: Get with it or get gone.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So let's bow your heads, cover your eyes, whatever feels correct,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: and we'll see this up on the screen.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: You got that one, Shiloh?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Oh!
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, Shiloh is ready. You can uncover your eyes and
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: give Shiloh a round of applause!
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: Shiloh! Woo!
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: Yes!
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Incredible!
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: Magnificent!
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Excellent stuff, Shiloh. Do we have a guest from Pina
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: over here? I'm just going to call you Pina at
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: I'm just calling us Pina. That was the berries. I
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: forget her name.
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: I think they just call her Fox Face the whole time.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I am going to need to hear a little more
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: than that was the berries.
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: That was the berries.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: When PETA was like picking berries because he was going
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to help feed them. But then Foxface was like, I'm
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: going to sneak up here and steal the berries from
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: you and eat them. because someone else is picking them,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: so I am assuming they're safe, but they're not.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: But then Katniss runs over and finds Peeta, and then
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: she's like, Peeta, don't eat those, those will kill you.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: And he's like, I didn't know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know she was following me.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: And then they're like, wow, she's dead.
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: And then they decide to go to the cornucopia.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yep, this is exactly, okay, I can't stop you now.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: You've covered a full page of the screenplay.
• 36:36
  Speaker 13: Nice, nice, nice.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be two points, because I also heard fox face.
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: Fox face!
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, great teamwork, fantastic stuff. Okay, I forgot to
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: say that those two were both from the 74th Hunger Games,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the first film. These next two are from the 75th
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Hunger Games, the second book, the second movie. So, James, Julia,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: would you like to cover your eyes once more? Let's
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: see that next death.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Would I?
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: Don't tempt me with a good time.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You got that one, Shiloh?
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Okay. Prompt can be removed and eyes can be revealed.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: And with a round of applause, take it away Shiloh.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. Give it up for Shiloh everyone.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come to James first on this one.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: James, any ideas? I was going to be polite. God,
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: give me a chance. That one I am less sure of.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: It appears that it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: Was raining blood on you, and then you ran into
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: the force field, I believe, but I don't remember which
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: character it was.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Blight.
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: Blight?
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: Or something like that.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Ooh, how long do I drag this out for? It's Blight!
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Excellent stuff!
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: That's once again gonna be two points for accurately guessing
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: the murder and the character, fantastic stuff.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: I have a feeling that you didn't even remember that,
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: but you just saw, you were like, it is raining blood,
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: and that was a force field that Shallow just ran into.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: I said it, so it counts.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Fantastic stuff. Back on over to Pina. That is your name.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Let's have your eyes covered.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Yep. Ian was way ahead of you. And let's see
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the next death on the screen. Shiloh, whenever you're ready.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: You got that one, Shiloh. Okay, we can move to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the next now, Bambi, and uncover your eyes, Peenas.
• 38:57
  Speaker 12: It's so fun because you use the non-rhotic R.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, like Peena?
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: And so it's especially fun when you say it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: I was thinking that, yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: Basically, we just want to make Matt say stuff, and
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: we were nice.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's the only reason I have a gig where I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: can read off a laptop.
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Okay. Take it away, Shiloh. Round of applause.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Oh and.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Another child has died give.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: It up for Shiloh okay any.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Guesses for what you saw.
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: There Um, some primates murdered a child.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so how I remember this scene is, uh, there
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: were a bunch of, like, monkey monsters, and they started attacking, uh,
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Finnick and Peeta and Katniss, and then, but this, like,
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: I forget what they're called, they, like, this, like, woman
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: that wasn't in the Hunger Games, I don't know if
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: she was, she, like, jumps out from the trees to, like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: To save PETA?
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: If I know who, if I know what they're referred to.
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: Mags?
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: No, it's not mags.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: We'll get to the steel in a second.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: What are they called? They're not, they're not mutts.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I think I've heard enough where I'm happy with the
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: death description. Fatally mauled by a vicious pack of engineered
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: mutant monkeys. You said monster, not mutant, but that's the
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: So that's going to definitely be.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: A point for the correct death, but could you, can you,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: and you're so accurately describing, can.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: You pull the word? It's, oh my gosh. It's like
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: on the tip of my tongue.
• 40:53
  Speaker 12: I cannot give you anything other than moral support.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Ian, do you want to describe it once more and
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: see if that jogs anything in Audra's brain about who
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: jumped out?
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was this woman who was covered in blood
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: from the blood rain. And then after she gets mauled,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Peeta drags her to the lake and and she's having
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: a hard time breathing because her throat just got ripped out.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: And then Peeta's like, hey, look up at the sky,
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: look up at the sky, it's so beautiful, right? And
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: then she just dies right there. But like, what is it?
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: It's like people that, I don't, people that the Capitol
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: messed with.
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and like, like, um.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: We'll have our chance, it's okay.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: Like they take their tongue.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's so close, that's such a good guess, but
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna have to, oh, what did you say, Ian?
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: A muggle.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: So close, we are gonna move over, and because I've
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: set up the concept of a steal, I think we've
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: gotta go for it. Julia?
• 41:51
  Speaker 10: James, do you know it?
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: The word for the monkeys?
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: No.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: The woman.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: The woman they.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: Refer to as a morphling.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: It's a Morphling.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: Because she's addicted to Morphling, which is a drug that's
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: like an opiate. And she loves colors because she's like
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: on drugs and that's why Peeta is like, look at
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: the sky, it's so pretty.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Just one point. It is just one point.
• 42:14
  Speaker 10: It's a franchise I love, Lance.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Morphling. You correctly got it. It is Morphling.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: You stole the point. We are going to have one
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: last pass at this. One last set of mimes. This
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: time it is not anything from the Hunger Games. This
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: is from Matt's first Hunger Games. So these are very
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: specific deaths that I have come up with for Shiloh
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to mime. We'll say they're adults at this point, I reckon,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: just to protect the branding.
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: The Morphling and Blight were adults at the time when
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: they did get tailed.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, good point, good point. So, if you would like
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: to cover your eyes for this final clue for your team,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: let's see what it is. Okay, it's a very specific death, Shiloh.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Have you got it?
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Let's get rid of that from the screen. And then
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: you can look now. Okay, Shiloh, round of applause for Shiloh.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: I think it's a piano.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: In a storm?
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: And another child is dead! Give it up for Shiloh!
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I did say adult. Okay, any guesses as to the death?
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: I had the last little bit.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, please. Please add the last little bit.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm here?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 13: Boom!
• 43:52
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: Did you just say I'm peeing?
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: No.
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: So the more accurately you can describe what just happened,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: the more points I will give you.
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: Okay, you appear to have been typing on some sort
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: of computering device, and then you picked up a heavy object,
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: walked away, there were bees.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Flying in front of your face, and then a piano
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: fell on you.
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: I thought you were playing a piano.
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: You picked up the piano and you walked into a store,
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: or out of a store, some kind of door was there,
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: and then something heavy fell on your head.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, out of five, I'm gonna say you're like
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: three out of five, correct there? It was actually crushed
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: by an anvil while trying to cross the street carrying
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: a glass piano.
• 44:44
  Speaker 10: Oh, tink, tink, tink.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Tink, tink, tink.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Tink, tink, tink happens all the time. It's how I'm
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: going to die. Okay, so we're gonna see one more
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: of those. It's gonna be Shiloh's last mime. Penis, if
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: you could close your eyes there.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: Peter's closed.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: And let's see the final death on screen. Okay, okay,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: we have that one. You can look now, and Shiloh,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: round of applause for Shiloh.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: I didn't get to the end.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Click, click.
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: Ow.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Give it up for Shala, everyone!
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Fantastic miming all throughout the round. All that remains is
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: for Pina Malark to correctly guess what they just saw.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: I know what this is.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Take it away.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: So this is Mr. Krabs with a gun forcing SpongeBob
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: to eat hot Krabby Patties fresh off the grill.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. Audra, would you like to add anything to that?
• 46:32
  Speaker 12: I think.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Instinct is no.
• 46:34
  Speaker 12: The instinct is no, but my instinct is wrong. In
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: that I also... I think.
• 46:44
  Speaker 12: I don't have anything else. That was Mr.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Crab.
• 46:49
  Speaker 12: To eat Krabby Patties right off the grill.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I think I can only give you two out of
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: five points for that one. You were on it with
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: the crab, for sure. It was eating a cake full
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: of knives while being held at gunpoint by a giant
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: crab man.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: Click, click. Click, click. I thought there was a gun.
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: I thought he was just.
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: I'm having trouble visualizing this. How will the crab man
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: hold the gun and pull the trigger?
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: How does that work?
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: You have to believe.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's someone in the audience wants to answer.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: It's a crab gun.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, James. There you go.
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: It's a crab gun.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, James.
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Robbie.
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: That makes sense.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: So we'll say two points for that, I think. That's
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the end of the round. Give it up for Shiloh!
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Producer Kylie, could you please sew the scores into an
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: opulent fabric for us to spite our enemies with?
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: I got it, I got it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna go over here.
• 47:44
  Speaker 13: Very dramatic.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, it is so dramatic.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Kylie.
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: It's very, very close. Julia and James, the Mockingjays, they
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: are at 12 points.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: Double digit.
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: Audra and Ian on Peter Malark. They are at 10 points.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's pretty close.
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: It's pretty close.
• 48:10
  Speaker 12: Oh, I'm trying.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: The scores are very close, but it's time to give
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: power to the people and incite a rebellion.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: In round three. Exactly, that's how the jingle goes. Round
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: three is called This is Democracy Manifest. Thank you.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: The Hunger Games is known for its freedom fighter speeches
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: and dictator declarations. In this game, I'm going to ask
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: each player to take on the role of either dictator
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: or freedom fighter, one per team. Then I will ask
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: the audience for a suggestion of a problem-facing society. Nothing
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: too serious, I mean things like people using their phones
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: while driving, that sort of thing. We will then hear
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: from one dictator and one freedom fighter on this subject,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: each giving a 45-second speech. Then, via an audience vote,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: we will see who won the popularity of the people,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: and I will award them points.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: This is Democracy Manifest! Okay, so first of all, can
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: we choose our roles over here?
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: Freedom.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Freedom fighter?
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Dictator.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Classic. Didn't need to think about it. I meant gender-wise.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: Historically accurate.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Those are the two genders.
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: Freedom Fighter and Dictator.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: So true, so true.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: And Pina Malark, who would like to be the dictator
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: and who would like to be the freedom fighter?
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Let's go crazy, I'll be the freedom fighter.
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: Okay, fix it up.
• 49:46
  Speaker 12: I'll be the dictator.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Subvert the trope, I love it so much.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, so, first up, we are going to take a
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: suggestion from the audience of a problem facing society you
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: would like them to talk about.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: People taking speaker phone calls in public.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Ooh, okay. You don't have to take a speakerphone call.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Taking speakerphone calls in public?
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: Too many ads in mobile games.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Ooh, I like the idea of dystopian utopian people talking
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: about that. Too many ads in mobile games is the problem.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: That's what you'll be addressing society via some kind of
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: video link, I guess. Can't really see the camera, but
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: talk straight into the camera.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: That would be fun.
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: And there's no just like... One side wants one thing
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: and one side wants the other.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: It's however you would win the people over using that subject.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: You're a populist, ultimately, that's what this is about. And
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: so it's like, you don't have to be, you could
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: be for, you could be against.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Populism, baby.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Got it.
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: Fox popular.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's have the freedom fighter from the Mocking
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Jays versus the dictator from Pina.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Let's begin. Let's begin with.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: The Freedom Fighter, all about there's too many ads in
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: mobile games.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Go.
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: You're already under the thumb of capitalism.
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: You don't need more ads telling you what to buy when.
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: You're already so poor. You're playing a free mobile game.
• 51:21
  Speaker 11: You're only playing a free one because you don't have money.
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: And they know this, and yet they still torture you.
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: This is your 15 minute break at your job. You
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: just want to get away and you can't. They won't
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: let you, but if you follow me, I promise to
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: find you games that do not have ads in them. Mockingjay, go.
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: Go to Pokemon, go to the polls.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: All right, give it up for Julia.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, we can't decide yet because this is a two-party system.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: We need to hear from the other side. Let's hear
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: from the dictator of whatever place we're in.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Colorado, why not?
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: Denver was the capital.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Take it away.
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: My gentle populace, you may be hearing people saying that
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: you don't need the ads in your video games. And
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you, They're partially right, but in a more
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: real sense, I'm right. You need those ads in those games, but.
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: Not for free. They're taking advantage of you.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: My government is willing to pay you one tenth of
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: a penny for every five advertisements you watch on your
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: mobile games.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: And that's your time! Woo!
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: Too real.
• 52:59
  Speaker 12: That was fast.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Too real.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: I spoke slow, and so that went fast.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: That's the secret of being a dictator.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, wonderful peak improv audience, make some noise if you
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: preferred the message given by the freedom fighter. And now
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: make some noise if you prefer living under the dictator.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: That was louder.
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: All right, and this round, limited scoring, that's gonna be
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: one point. We need it, we need it.
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: I would trust her.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: Especially, I mean like, you saw Julianne Moore.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: It's true it's.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: True um okay sorry i just remembered for a second
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: her name is coin.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: It's just a funny name um okay we are.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Gonna get one more topic one more problem facing society
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: right now from the peak improv audience for our remaining
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: panelists to uh give speeches about so shout it out.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Getting arrested eating a succulent foreign meal.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: You're referencing the the title of it i love it
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: very good let's hear some more.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: What was that, sir? Potholes, potholes, the classic one for
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Colorado Springs. I love it.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: You are giving an address to your adoring public or
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: freedom fighter brethren about potholes.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Shall we take it away? Actually, let's see it from
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: the dictator first, I think. No, well, you are the dictator. Sorry, man.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: Get it together, piss hog.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sweating in this jacket. Okay, let's hear from the dictator.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: His message on potholes.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Take it away.
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: My fellow Americans, there are too many potholes around and
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: they're being created by people. There's a very simple solution
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: to the problem with the potholes. If somebody creates a pothole,
• 55:00
  Speaker 8: we fucking kill them. It may sound like I'm being hyperbolic.
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: I am not.
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: We will put these people into a cannon and we
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: will fire it. And because this speech is sponsored by Kalshi,
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: you will be allowed to bet on where they land
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: and who they land on. And if it's funny enough,
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: you will win a bonus of at least $ 7. That's
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: your time!
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Wow, wow, wow.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: That's promising a hell of a lot more than a
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: tenth of a penny.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah okay we've heard from the dictator but let's hear
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: from the freedom fighter all about potholes ready yeah yeah
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: take it away.
• 55:47
  Speaker 13: Potholes are ruining our state i'm tired of driving my
• 55:52
  Speaker 13: truck to work and next thing i know i got
• 55:54
  Speaker 13: a blown tire and they're gonna start dropping potholes from
• 55:57
  Speaker 13: the sky and i gotta say we need to start
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: fighting back with our propane and propane accessories If you
• 56:03
  Speaker 13: would join me, we're going to blow up their corporation
• 56:06
  Speaker 13: so they can't harm us from just trying to commute
• 56:09
  Speaker 13: to work. It's not our fault that they put the
• 56:12
  Speaker 13: freaking ice, they try to put the ice with the,
• 56:15
  Speaker 13: what is it called, the salt.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: And it makes all the holes.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: It's not our fault. I just need to get to
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: work so I can feed my family.
• 56:23
  Speaker 13: So please, join my side in taking down Big Pothole.
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: God bless America. God bless Colorado Springs.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Give it up for Ian. Fantastic stuff.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: I love that throughout the history of this podcast, I
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: will often add modifiers like, and by the way, do
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: it as Hank Hill.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Ian just did that all on his own.
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: Should've known.
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: Do it as Hank Hill.
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Okay, I can't possibly decide, because
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: I can't vote, I'm not a citizen, so. Let's hear
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: from our audience.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Did you prefer the speech given by the dictator? Okay, okay,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: and what about the speech from the freedom fighter? That
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: was pretty close, I think one person was louder for
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: the freedom fighter, so I'm gonna say.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: This goes to the dictator. I think it's the promise
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: of $ 7 that did it. That's one point.
• 57:22
  Speaker 10: And a bonus, if it's funny.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: And that is the end of round three.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Producer Kylie, can you please throw three fingers into the
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: air as many times as you need to indicate the
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: latest scores?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: You don't have to do that. I won't follow.
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: Going into the next round, we have the Mocking Jays
• 57:59
  Speaker 7: at 13.
• 58:00
  Speaker 11: And we have Peter Millar with 11.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. Still anybody's game heading into the final quickfire round.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Should we do it? Should we play our final quickfire round?
• 58:19
  Speaker 10: Piss Hog cooked up something different.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I did cook up something different this time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to play one of our.
• 58:25
  Speaker 10: Wait, I want to hear Ian say it.
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: Are you calling him Piss Hog?
• 58:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah!
• 58:30
  Speaker 11: Piss Hog!
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: Piss Hog!
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Piss Hog! Piss Hog! It's from a show all the
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: way back in February. I consent. I can't even remember why.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 58:42
  Speaker 10: I just won't let it die.
• 58:43
  Speaker 12: I do remember, but I think it's funnier if we
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: collectively forget why.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Our final quickfire round will test your broader pop culture knowledge,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: and it's called Listermania. Now, I have for each team
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: a list of 13 jobs slash professions slash industries, the
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: kinds of things that could be a district in The
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Hunger Games. They'll start out with a few from the series,
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: but then move into some fan fiction ones that I
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: made up. One player will be the describer and the
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: other the guesser. The describer will have two minutes on
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: the clock to describe as many of them as possible
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: to their teammate, without saying the word or words in
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: the clue, with one point per correct answer given. The
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: team that is in the lead gets to go first,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: because then we can play some catch up with the underdogs.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Mocking Jays, I believe you're in the lead at the moment.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Would you like the Gale list or the Peeta list?
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: Wait, we should let the Peeners have Peeta, right?
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: I think that's only fair. Yeah, we'll take Gale.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: You're going to take Gale?
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Just out of interest as fans, are you team Gale,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: team Peeta?
• 59:59
  Speaker 7: I just, I mean, maybe if they hadn't gotten Liam,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 7: what's his face, Hemsworth, I could have.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 8: See, PETA is really nice and sweet, but Gale is
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 8: a war criminal, so it kind of evens out.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hot.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: It is hot.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: It's like a little dangerous, you know?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: And that's what we like about Gale. Who would like
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: to be the describer of the clues, and who would
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: like to be the guesser?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: I like describing, but I also want to see what
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: you want.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: Because I'm nice. I guess I can be describer. You
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: want to be describer?
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, James, here is the Gale list for you. There
• 1:00:39

• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: you to the Peak Improv Theatre. This has been a

  Speaker 1: Lilypad production for iHeartRadio and the internet. Thank you and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: good night! And usually music plays now.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: And there it was, our Hunger Games fandomonium, like four
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: years in the making.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much to our panel. They were brilliant. I.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: My favorite thing in the world is to be surrounded
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: by funny people, and that was such a joy. And
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: this is why you should also keep suggesting fandoms to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: me after live shows, when you bump into me, shoot
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: me a message on social media, because eventually we do
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: get round to them. It might take four years, but
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: we do. Sorry if you're a Hunger Games fan and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: we didn't get into the books or movies a ton,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: but you should know the deal by now. It's a
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: framework for doing comedy. If you enjoyed what you heard
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: and you are based in Colorado, then please do consider
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: coming to our show on December 11th, our final live
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: show of the year. It is going to be holiday
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: movie themed, Christmassy vibes. We'll be covering the full gambit
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: of holiday movies from 1940s classics to hot frosty. But
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: all that remains for me to do today is to
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: thank our wonderful executive producers, and I will be doing
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: it in the style of Caesar Flickerman, who I probably
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: should have channeled more for this live Hunger Games. A
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: huge thank you to the fantastic Ash and Adam for
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: supporting us for all this time. Your support means the world.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: But I must say, you are going to be making
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: your way into the arena, and you may have to
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: kill each other. Ah, Justin Dodberg. What a beauty, what
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: a legend, what a treasure. Thank you so much for
• 1:13:42

• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: fabulous Kristen Farley. You know, it's a shame you're probably

  Speaker 2: going to die out there, but your death will inspire
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: a nation. Troy Davidson, what a legend. A veteran of
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: this game's He fought in the games 25 years ago,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: and he's back for vengeance. Ah, and I see we
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: have the cast of Team Up from District 1 and
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: District 2. This little posse of Johnny, Steph, Ethan, and
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: Ben are likely to cause trouble in the arena for
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: some of our young recruits, as they are extremely overpowered.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Super overpowered.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Corbin Stein, what a titan. I imagine that he's going

• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: through wits and wiles and a third W thing. And
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: of course, the spectacular Shirley Stout, who I think, I
