  Speaker 1: You are listening to a lily Pad production.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Hello there, leap Frogs, and welcome to the final full
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Pandemonium of twenty twenty five. What a year it has been.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: This was our live show from November, our last live
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: show of twenty twenty five, and the theme was The
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings. So happy to revisit this fandom.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You all know how important this fandom is to Audra
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and I. Yeah, this was a fantastic time. Thank you
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: so much to our wonderful guests Meghan Hyde and Josh Neil,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: who joined Chris and Audra on the panel for this one.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It means so much to be supported by the talented
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: improvisers who make up this community. And yeah it was.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: It was such an honor to have both of them
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on stage with us. We love performing with them. There
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: is a quick production note before we get into this one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We lost our audience microphone about thirty minutes into this recording,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: So the first half hour of this episode sounds like
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: our usual live episodes, but after that we lose the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: crowd mic and you can just hear the panel and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the occasional burst of loud laughter. I promised there were
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: little chuckles happening throughout that weren't the bursts of loud laughter.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's what we go for at Pandemonium, we go for
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: little chuckles. We're a little chuckle kind of show. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: don't think anyone will mind me saying Round two was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a very audience participation heavy game, so the audience is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a little more muted, and producer Jason reading the scores
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: is a little more muted than would be ideal considering
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: all parties had microphones for that. This is the magic
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of live local comedy. I wanted to apologize up top,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but also you get what you get. We're also learning
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and growing here and from January's live shot onwards, we'll
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: be taking care of our own filming of these episodes
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so we can make sure the crowd mic is fully there,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: so you get the atmosphe not quite like you're there
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: in the room with us, but almost like the next
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: best thing. Well, actually the next best thing would be
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the video Patreon dot com slash gate Leapers if you
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: want to check that out, But the third best thing,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's still a great thing. We are so excited this
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: holiday season. On the gate Leapers podcast feed, we hope
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you enjoyed the final Bonus round last week. We hope
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you enjoyed the finale of press Play. Next week there's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a very special episode lined up for that, and we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: have a Fandomonium Christmas special with just something a little
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a little different, you know, something a little different, mostly
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the same, but a little different. And of course stat
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Leapers is coming up before we kick things off in
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: January with a brand new series of Fandomonium. So many

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing great. You're dressed up for this my

  Speaker 2: thin Yes? Are you like a like a dirty hobbit?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Oh?

  Speaker 6: Oh oh what now there's no Hobbit. There's no hobbits.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Oh uh? Look uh? Lord of the Rings is the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is the theme for this?
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Oh shit?
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Lord?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: No?
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no no, you said no,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: you said Lord of the Flies.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I think I said Lord. No, you said Lord.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: It's right here. Hey, Megan, would you like to be
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: a guest on Phantemonium next month? The theme is Lord
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: at the Flies.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: No, that's what it says.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: And then I said, really, I didn't realize there was
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: much of a fandom for that, but i'd love to.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I haven't read it since high school?
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Is that going to be a problem?
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: And you said not at all. You still have plenty
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: of time to watch wonder all of the movies, so
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: you if you choose, and I said, there's movies plural.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: This conversation is making a lot more sense to me. Now, yes,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: they made three, not counting the prequels. And then me,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: there's prequels. The book I read was even that long.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I got through it in like one day, and then
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: you said, wow, you're a really fast reader. It took
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: me weeks and I thought, maybe he has dyslexia. But
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to say that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Well, that's very kind. So there's been a little confusion
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, So this next question, this first
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: question I have for you, how big of a Load
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of the Rings.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Fan are you?
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I've seen the movies.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, that works a while ago.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's all we need.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Well I'm genuinely sorry, Megan, for.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I have so much Load of the Flies knowledge crammed
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: in my head.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Now, well, do you not just intersperse it throughout the evening?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I reckon, Okay, we'll learn something.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: I brought props, props.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: You brought Load of the Flies props. You got this couch,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: You've committed.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you brought in that bag and you wouldn't let
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: me see what was in it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And now I know why.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: There's another one. But I'm a little until later, until
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: the right moment, in that moment.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, spread the props out. Well, it's good to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: know that we're getting it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Test for how popular are a Lord of the Flies
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: episode of this podcast might be?
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: But I look like a dirty hobbit, is what you said.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I I was reaching for what Lord of the Rings
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: character you could possibly be?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Nonm just a boy who crashed onto an island, just.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Like in the books or tra what about yourself?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You said you love Lord of the Rings more than me,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and that's fine, But how big of a fan are you?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: It's it's not a problem per se. If I'm still functioning,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: it's not a problem. I watch them every year, I
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: read them every year. I have favorite like cuts of
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the prequels, like the Hobbits.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: There are cuts of them.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: You don't have to watch all three of them in
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: their entirety, and you shouldn't.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, big fan, very much.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So okay, so you'll be able to help Megan out
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: despite the miscommunication.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Again, so sorry, Megan, you're.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Carrying this.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And I will.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: We'll share the loan.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, and other references. But you can't
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: undertake this quest alone.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: I didn't get it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: You'll need a friendly rivalry with a fellow fellowship.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: So let's introduce them.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: He is a musician and producer and longtime panelist of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: this show who helps make it happen. He's also here
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to make us all look like Hobbits via the magic
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of cinematic perspective.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Make some noise for Chris Reagan. He's tall.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It's a high thing, Oh my god, and he is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: an actor, improviser, Stickhorse, and Gnome. Tolkien genuinely got rid
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of Gnomes after the first draft of being too tempting
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and provocative, speaking of put your hands together for Josh, Neil,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Welcome as always, Chris, welcome for the first time. Josh,

• 9:29
  Speaker 2: with you guys. Are you a fan of Lord of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the Rings?
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: Josh, that's a good question in which I must respond
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: in the form of reading a bullet list from Google
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: Docs and brandishing my own version of sting. Whoa that
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: got inaudible?
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, you drew a knife in a room.

  Speaker 3: That I have accidentally texted it the voice.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a it was a weird text.

  Speaker 9: Lord of the Rings was my first fandom I think,
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: I mean around about the same time as the Star
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: Wars when those came out because old age, but for
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: sure fantasy really solidified my alignment for all RPGs thereafter
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: as lawful good. But to answer your question about being
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: a fan, you guys knew that I was a fan
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: already if you watch the credits long enough after Fellowship
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: of the Ring, because my name is in him that
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: I was a founding member of the One Ring Society.
• 10:55

  Speaker 9: This is.

  Speaker 3: Okay, fantastic.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: So we've maybe got a team that has a slight

• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well we've met our teams. Let's find
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: out what they're competing for. Producer Jason, could you hold
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: aloft the Mystery Star Prize? The box that is right there?
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Can we get some oohs and rs? What could be
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in there?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Is that made of mythrill?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: It budget? Couldn't stretch?

• 12:32
  Speaker 3: See if it goes through. I'm gonna my knife.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It is the exact same metal. Yes, okay, teams, let's
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: set the scene. You're making the plans for your uncle's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eleventh birthday. Wow, soon you'll be old
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: enough to run for presidents. But as you're making the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: final preparations, a strange wizard with an English accent arrives
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: and demands you play a series of improv games and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: trivia challenges in a lighthearted, semi competitive format. We're back
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in the room, so I'd like each pair to come
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: up with a Lord of the Rings themed team name.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Please. Let's start with Udra and Meghan. Any ideas well?
• 13:11

  Speaker 5: Two little Piggies, the Kanchi mamas.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: That's good.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Simon says, you're going down.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Simon's one of the main characters the jack Offs, because
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Jack is one of the other the perfect Prefects. This
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: really makes a lot more sense if you've read Lord
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: of the Flies, The Beasties or The Beastie Besties.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Do you have any you.
• 13:43

  Speaker 9: means it's like a change, because don't.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: That is genuinely a good reference to those of you.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: Like I'm partial to argonnastes.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: I had a feeling that was a little more of
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: a cross of both themes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: H that's pretty okay, that's that's the arg nasties.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so okay, is that what you are
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: you down with?
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: That? I can be done with the name. Yes, the
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: thing is a concept.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: All right, So we've got too little Pippins versus argonnastes.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I love it, okay.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And if you're listening to this, and because there are
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: people at home, for God's sakes, if you're listening to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: this and thinking, well, I had sex in college, so
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings, get out, don't worry.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Order with a little segment we like to call passing knowledge,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: give it up for Audra.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: The Lord of the Rings is a high fantasy novel
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: trilogy written by J. R. R.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Tolkien, and I.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Can assure you after this show, I are are gonna
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: be token as well. The series was later adapted into
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: a film trilogy by Peter Jackson, which won four Golden Globes,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: seventeen Oscars, and the Hearts.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Of Nerds in Perpetuity.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: The story follows a hobbit proto Baggins and his companions
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: as they embark on a journey to words.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Are hard Hard.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You won't, I know you won't.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: They embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: and thus save the world. Well, it's not like our world,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: but it also very much is. It's a rich text. Okay,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: you just have to read it. The series received some
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: criticism that there is very little female representation. However, with
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: a p of a beautiful ring that makes you subservient
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: to an evil man, lack of women is actually like
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: a little feminist. It's not, but you can make that argument.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: It's the best one I have. The series has reborn wizards,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: airs to exiled thrones, elves choosing mortality for love, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the best of them all, a gardener who seems to
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: be the only person who can get anything done around WHOA. Now,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: let's get off the road and get into pandemonium.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, my precious, my love. Just before we
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: get to today's games, I've asked each player to bring
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in amuse to inspire us all it's something that inspires
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: them or something they love from this particular fandom. Lord
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: of the Rings is inspiring to me because Tolkien makes
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the British seem smarter and more whimsical.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Than we actually are. Chris will start with you.

  Speaker 9: I was born. That's when he read the books. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: then by the time I was eleven or twelve, he
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: gave me those same books that he had read from
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Oh and I read them so many times, so many
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: pages fell out.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: It was a ruined mess.

  Speaker 9: But in college, my roommate in college, who is one
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: of my best friends, was on my level with Lord
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: of the Rings, and he was the one that went
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: with me to that first con. He addressed his golum
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: and he had this prosthetic missing finger, all going on
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: with blood and he's ran and he's a really good
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: artist and drew an awesome picture of the Witch King

• 22:31
  Speaker 2: what are you called again? Two Little Pippins, Megan, what's
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: inspiring you from the Lord of the Rings?

  Speaker 6: Oh, I've got something. I actually have something for this one.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So I teach improv, and I used to teach
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: younger people improv. Now it's just adults these days. But
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I had a student who was very scared of taking
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: the improv class, and she when I when I taught
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: the younger kids, middle school, high school kids improv, I
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: let them choose a stage name and I just called
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: them by that stage name all semester long.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: And I'd never learned their real names.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Some of them, I guess, but but yeah, this one
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: student couldn't tell you her real name. But she chose
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: the name Aowin to be her stage name because she
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: was afraid of taking an improv class. And Aowen was
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the character who stabbed the witch in the face, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the witch was like a symbol of fear and so
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: she was chose that as a way of stabbing fear
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: in the face.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.

• 41:30
  Speaker 2: questions from our wonderful audience for five full minutes. The
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: problem is they have no idea who they are. Our
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: audience will be able to see who they are, and,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: without saying the names on the scroll, will field leading
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: questions to our panel to try and help them guess
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the individual from the Lord of the Rings fandom that
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: they are. As soon as a player correctly declares who
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: they are, we move on to the next difficulty on
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the scroll. One point for the first, two point for
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the second, and three for the third. Two players six
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: characters between them, five minutes to try and guess them
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: more correctly.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's confusing.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Now, any members of our audience who would like to
