  Speaker 1: You're listening to a lily Pad production.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Hello, their leap Frogs, and welcome back to Pandemonium. As
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: you can probably tell from the title already, this is
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: our Malcolm in the Middle episode, and it's a very
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: special episode, not just because of the topic being one
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: of the greatest sitcoms of all time, but because we
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: recorded this episode with cast members all in person. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: not only that, but the cast member who lives the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: most miles away. That's right, Aidan, my sibling, and their
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: partner Elle, came and visited us all the way over
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: here in Colorado. We had a wonderful vacation. I promise
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: we did so many things other than record this podcast
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: because this is my happy place. This is the thing
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I enjoy doing more than anything else in the world.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I sometimes feel bad suggesting it on vacation while we're
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: hanging out with folks in real life, but Aidan and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: El were super down to record this episode with us,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and we had so much fun. Julia joined us on
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the lineup, and Julia's husband Corey was also in the room,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: keeping score for us because there wouldn't have been room
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for all six of us in our very toasty podcast studio.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: On the upper floor. We repurposed our living room to
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: be like a makeshift podcast set. You can see a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: lot of our living room gubbins in the background. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: if you want to watch this episode as opposed to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: just listen to it, head on over to patreon dot
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: com forward slash Gate Leapers. There is a link in
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the show notes of this very episode and indeed all episodes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: For just three p fifty a month, you can get
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: access to all fandomoniums released as video episodes, which is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: like nine out of ten fandomoniums in a given year.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: This was such a joy. I think you can hear
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it in our voices how excited we are to be
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in the same space physically instead of just recording online.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I love our digital record because it's how we've met
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: so many fantastic, hilarious people. But when all four players
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: are in the same room at the same time, ah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: it's magic. This episode continues what has been a summer
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of unique pandemoniums. We of course had our episode that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we recorded at fan Xpo. You can check that out
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on YouTube, and we maybe have a guest hosted episode
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: or two coming up very soon, as well as another
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: unique all in the same room episode that I cannot
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: yet reveal the theme for. We're recording it in under
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a week at time of recording this. I am so
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: excited for that one. I think it's going to be
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a topic that people are like, how have you not
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: done this already? And yeah, we've got a couple more
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: live shows August fourteenth and September eleventh, those are the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: next two Pandemonium live shows. I'm so excited about both
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: of those, cannot wait to share them. This has just
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: been my favorite lineup of episodes ever. This summer has
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: just Ah, It's a privilege and an honor that I
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: get to do this, and I'm just currently filled with
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: so much love and joy and hope. With that, thank
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you once again to Aidan and l and Julia and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Corey and eternally Ordro. I'll be back at the end
• 3:15

• 5:06
  Speaker 2: This is so good. Welcome Aidan, Welcome Julia. We are
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: recording this in person in our living room. We've kind
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of customized a makeshift podcast studio. How does it feel
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to be hanging in the same space.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I like it. I like hanging out of people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Socialization.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic. Well, the theme for this episode, because we've
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we're out over one hundred episodes in so the themes
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: are getting quite specific. Now to a specific sitcom from
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the two thousands, it's Malcolm in the Middle. This was
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: your suggestion for a for a theme. Are you a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: fan of Malcolm in the Middle.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of Malcolm in the Middle. We've
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: been doing rewatch me and our opponent.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: No.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a huge part of like my childhood
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and then being able to watch it again and it
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: just be like the perfect sitcom for my tastes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Am I right in saying that the BBC two lineup
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: was the Simpsons followed by Malcolm in the Middle followed
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: by Robot.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Was that's correct?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good that they put Malcolm in the Middle
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in the middle. Yeah, that's smart.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Good marketing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And Julia, what about yourself? You a fan of Malcolm
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in the.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Middle, So when you said that, it was like like
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, right, I did watch that, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: also I have feelings about it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And Frankie Munez was a huge.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Factor in like like watching like like Agent, Cody Banks
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that. So I was very like, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: don't know, and oh and big fat liar. So just
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: it's something that I didn't recognize was in me. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: like if you'd have asked me, like what are the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: things that you remember from childhood, that wouldn't be one
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: of them, but like it there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've really tried to push Frankie Muniz on our generation.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like he was.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: I'm not mad. I was gonna say he and shilahbuff
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: were of a nature.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, they just didn't manage to get over as
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: much as these modern stars.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Shalom, he wasn't on a sitcom.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So that's true. Better Agent, Yeah, fantastic. Well, I think
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to be a good team. This
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is really I'm just really thrilled that we're all in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the same space. This is really fun. So let's introduce
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: your opponents some siblings to have a rivalry with. She
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is our resident panelist, a podcaster and comedian who works
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in STEM, which today stands for surely the enemy is Malcolm.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It's Audra Stevenson. Hello, Hello, Hello, and they are a comedian,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: writer and teacher.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: This team is already such an asset to their community.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to, but I think I have a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: favorite child.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Hi.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Welcome, Audro, Welcome. How are you both doing?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: It's a lovely morning at like ten thirty am. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: do normally have a watch on. I just checked an
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: empty wrist, but I'm just going to estimate that's the time,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: and it's fine if I'm wrong.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is quite an early podcast record for as
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: probably the earliest in a year or so.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I just checked and I'm right twenty seven.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that skill won't help you today. Fantastic el. I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: going to ask you because you may have also had
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: some contribution to this being the topic choice.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: It was entirely my idea. It was always it was
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: entirely my idea.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: With that in mind, are you a fan of Malcolm
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in the Middle.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Yes, but I didn't watch it as a kid. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: was as an adult fan because I think it was
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: part of the list of things that I.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Wasn't allowed to watch.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: My parents really believe that watching American TV would make
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: me misbehave.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Oh he's only American children, Miss Bay.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I cancel all of the games and just do a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: ninety minute podcast about that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: I think it was a trend among like British parents
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: of like our generation where it was like, American TV
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: is this possible evil?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That's wild?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Because I watched the in Betweeners and Skins and was like, oh.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: My gosh, they're out of control.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That was fine, It was fine, Skin.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: God, you're partially right. I was banned from watching The
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Simpsons for like a month because I tried to be
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: too much like that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, did you just like eat my shorts
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: a bunch?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Help tell everyone what.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I was a child. I want to be clear about that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And there's the episode where they go to
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Australia and moons the Australian government and I was like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: that's the funniest shit I've ever seen. So we went
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to Australia and so I mooned my class at school
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: like the next day, and obviously my teachers contacted my
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: parents like, hey, what's going on here? And they immediately
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: were like the Simpsons. Simpson is to blame.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Calabunga.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Please tell me you said calab.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I might have said, yeah, gosh.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I I also wasn't allowed to watch Malcolm in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Middle and Controversial.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: My parents always told me that, like certain shows similarly
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: would make me misbehave because they were like, oh, they
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: talked back to their kids, to their parents. I was like, whoa,
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: my parents were actually really progressive. No, they weren't, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I now realized watching it as an adult, I think
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: they just didn't want to see one very smart child.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: They'd be like, oh, no, we will create so we
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: will create a monster.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But oh boy, I was a Malcolm. No, I was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a hell of Malcolm.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: I could see that he just didn't want to see me,
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: really could.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Of just like two people who were banned from
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: against two people who have the cultural knowledge. I've balanced
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: these teams perfectly.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have seen it all, and I've seen
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it all the way through.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Twice and you're on our third rewatch because I have autism,
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: so so third rewatch.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: It is gets real that sitcoms get.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Real that sitcoms, So I think I do maybe have
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: an advantage based on being insane.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But also who knows could be a disadvantage.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, I have ADHD. I think I've seen it. I
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: think I've seen it, But if I haven't seen something
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: two or three times, I don't remember.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good balance.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic. Were a couple of great teams here but
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: also joining us in the living room. And I am
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: going to use his title because it gives more authority
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: to our scorekeeper today. Professor Corey Scott, Hello, Corey, Hello.
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: I didn't have a list of shows that I wasn't
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: allowed to watch, but there was a list of shows
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: that if I watched them, I would need to write
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: an essay explaining why they weren't behavior to be modeled.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: I'd have loved that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: I would have watched so much stuff I wasn't allowed
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: to watch that I'd have been like, great, time to
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: sit down write an essay.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Oh fantastic, Thank you Corey for keeping scores for us today. Wonderful.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Okay teams. It's the summer of two thousand and one
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and you're ready to go on vacation with your family.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You're going to a water park or a casino or
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a houseboat or whatever. But I'm really try and imagine this, UFO.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I know it's a stretch for this group. You have
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: completely dysfunctional parents, So in order to everyone's so nervous.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: To laugh, I was just thinking about what it would
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: be like to have parents plural.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So in order to save the vacation and build some
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: sibling solidarity, I'd like each pair to come up with
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a Malcolm in the Middle themed team name. Please, let's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: start with Aiden and Juliet. What you got?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Have you got any in the chamber?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: No? I am.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: I'm fully like all I can think of life is unfair,
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: and that's not good enough.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I on the like flight here, I was like, oh,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I need to like think of team names because I
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: always just like think of some off the cuff and
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: they're never very good. I didn't do that, So I'm
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: just gonna think of some off the cuff.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be better than what I could think of.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: The best one that I've come up with that sounds
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: like a team name is the door Slammers, because it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: like the sting at the like between scenes is a
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: door slamming. I love that, and I've got no funny ones.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Clever reference, yeah, anything else off the cuff.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I just keep thinking El Dewey. But it's just because
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: of this one picture of a cat that looks like
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Dewey and it's always captioned L Dewey.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: That's also good, Julia, Do do you like either of those?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Have you got any friend?
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Again, all I have is Life is Unfair and that's
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: just going to be stuck in my head if I
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: keep saying it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: So I really like the Door Slammers.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Because I I don't know, I feel like it's emblematic
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: of their of their family and everything, and I like it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: It sounds like it also sounds like a rock band name.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: It does. Yeah, the Door Slammers a rock band, the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: name of a rock and roll Sorry, yes, Julia, you
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: are one hundred years old to mention that. I am
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: all right. So we've got the Door Slammers. Let's find
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: out who they're going to be facing l So I.

  Speaker 6: Had to one of them is because neither of us
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: could watch this at the time.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I do think Life is Unfair is a good name.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, people who weren't allowed to watch this and only
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: could watch it years after the run with context.

  Speaker 6: Also the one the thing I said that. Julia was like,
• 15:19

  Speaker 1: for this exactly.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That's true. Specifically, just nothing else. Okay, just before we
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: get to today's games, I've asked each player to bring
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: in a muse, something that inspires them or something they
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: love from this particular fandom, and we can pause the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: recording if everyone needs to think.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: I know, and I really want I hope that no
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: one else takes mine because it's like the one thing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I think I've got one.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'll start in an order that reflects that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Malcolm in the Middle is inspiring to me because the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: main character is always allowed to address the audience directly,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm stuck here with these four last so loser
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: number one, Sorry, Julia, what's the I still thought I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: was talking to that. What's inspiring you? From the world
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: of Mittum?
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, So this was my first venture into couple's dynamic
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: where husband is obsessed with wife. Like that was revolutionary
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: for me, and I was like, she's old and she's not.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Nice, but he loves her.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: And it was like one of the only like templates
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: for relationships that were like good in my life for
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: like adults, like romantic relationships.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: And so I've always been like Malcolm in the Middle.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: They did something, they did something really good, and it
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: was good for me to see that at like in
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: two thousand and one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Definitely in two thousand and one especially, but even just
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: watching back recently, it's been like, oh, yeah, it's nice.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: How obsessed Halla is with Lois.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah we love a wife guy, Yeah, wife guy. The
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: concept of ball and chain was nowhere near.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: No Malcolm in the Middle, No, no, Hell doesn't even
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: know those words, and.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: It like inspired me to like watch other stuff like that,
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Like I think the only one I can think of
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: right now is Raising Hope. Like the two parents are
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: just so into each other, especially the husband and the wife,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: and it's just like, well, thank god that's being put
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: on TV because it's like, God, I can't watch Ray
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Romano be like EMRA, that's a really bad Ray Ramano.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Ray Romano is a bad Raman.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: To be fair, Yes.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, very inspiring, just an iconic sitcom parent pairing. Like yeah,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: as you said, most of them are like I hate
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: you and that's the comedy, and that's not I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: know that's that's that's Prey one note. Yeah, I was
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: about to say some of the other things that happened,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: but it is the basis and premise for around one,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So instead I will move on over to the other
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: half of the door Slammers Aiden. What's inspiring you from
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the world of Malcolm in the Middle.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I had to look up the album name, but basically,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: there's an emo band from the early naughties called Brave
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Little Abacus and they sample a ton of Malcolm in
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: the Middle quotes, And I just wanted to say how
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: much I love this album. It's called Just Got Back
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: from the Discomfort. We're all right. It's an emo band,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: so they've got a long album title. Yeah, but it's
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: like really good music and also just like the very
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: specific like pinpoint nostalgia hit from like hearing Dewey ask
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: if your brain is big enough to get your feelings hurt,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: like right before just a killer breakdown. Yeah, it's amazing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It's a really good album.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Mate, what a shout out, what a reference. I'm going
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: to listen to that album. Fantastic And yeah, the idea
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of it being Dewey's thing, people like I'm imagining like
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: an American football style guitar riff that then like it's.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Like very very twinkly while do he's saying his thing,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: and because he ends the quote with me neither, the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: lead singer then just shouts me neither, and then it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: like thrash metal level drums kick in.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic, And one more time the name.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Of the album without looking at my phone, Yeah, it's
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Just Got Back from the Discomfort. We're all right, brave
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: little abacus.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Nice, brave little advocates, lovely stuff, brave little toast of pandemonium.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: When, oh my god, scrap the whole thing. Please start
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: the recording.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Rewrite the episode.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: You can do that, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: just throw this whole thing away.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Comedy's fake. It's never actually written in advance. It's all
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: made up, every part of it. Yea, even sketch. Yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: don't take this Google doc away from me. Fantastic. I'm
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: very inspired by this side of the table. But can
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: I be inspired by I'm not actually writing the team
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: names down because I'm not keeping the score. So Corey,
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: if you please.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Elm parentheses featuring parentheses in it for the art, love it?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: And Elle, what's inspiring you about Malcolm in the middle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Dewey's hamster from his school, the one that had to
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: be I forgotten the name of his name.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know his name's Bernard.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: We'd obviously say Bernard.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: I until this very moment, believed that Bernard Bernard were
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: two separate names. But I'm going to say anyway, let's
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: do over and pretend I'm really smart. Okay, my muse
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: is Bernard the hamster that Dewey rescued from school and
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: that you see in various other episodes running about.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: In his little ball. Yes, he was in the reboot
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, he shows up in like the final
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: scene when everyone's dancing.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: He's an immortal hamster that lived in a tiny orange
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: ball filled with trail mix.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he lives so well.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, canonically immortal, because hamsters famously die after
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: like a year.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But maybe that's human interaction.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Maybe if we put all hosts in protective balls build
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: of trail mix.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Fine, like in the wild.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I've seen them in the wild.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I was lying for humor.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: You really could have fooled me.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know you well enough, and I would have
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: just assumed that they're in England.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: In England, we have hamsters, but they're all in balls.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: They grow them out of like membranes.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry for saying that. A real good clean take
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: of the word membranes. Wear into the mic membrane.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That's your patrons, Okay, fantastic and last but not least
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: ord for what is inspiring you from the world of
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: malcolms and middles.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: That's just how I say it in my head.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Malcolm's in middles So that just absolutely popped me because
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: I did not expect it. I am inspired. Many know
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: that I do fiber arts. Lois's sweater game is incredible,
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Like I didn't realize it and I should have acknowledged
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: it earlier.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: But there is an episode like I don't know, don't
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: fact check me.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I want to say, like season three where she has
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: like a pink sweater and I was knitting like a
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: pink cable knit sweater, and I just looked down and
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh God, this is incredible.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Are you is this one it is? There's no way
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: of knowing which episode. Oh well it appeared in season seven,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: but it's not that one.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Well maybe they're cool and they reuse costumes.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was pretty infinite number of sweats
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: is it's all thrifted.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like they wouldn't do that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: We simply there's no way of knowing.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: There's no way on earth of knowing without rewatching the
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: entire series where the sweater showed up. But I was
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: knitting and I saw that and I was like, Lois
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: is an icon, and once I was looking for it,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: the sweaters started and they never stopped.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And then I also never stopped, and I just keep knitting.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: It's I feel like we've watched a bunch of sitcoms
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: together where specifically because the sweater game was so strong
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: in the nineties and early naughty. Oh yes, I think
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot of inspiration and you could you
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: could potentially knit your way through American.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: I will say there are YouTube videos of people being like, Okay,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: I'm knitting the Rory sweater, or here's like Howell's sweater
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: that has like the triang I'm crocheting that. That is
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: just an entire section of YouTube and it brings me
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: so much.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Joy, and it's brought us so much joy, and it's
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: very inspiring. Thank you for bringing up Lois his sweat again.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: I actually have to I have to quit the podcast
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: because I need to start a YouTube channel where it
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: just pop culture sweaters.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It would be so much more successful. Oh fantastic. I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: feeling so inspired. Players. We already for some games. Yeah, right, teams,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Let's ship ourselves off to military school and escape into
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the structure of round one. Round one is called how
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: two thousand, and it's all about the ridiculous sitcom storylines
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of Malcolm in the Middle, specifically those that happened to
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: top sitcom Dad How played by Heisenberg, who is played
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: by Walter White, who is played by Brian Cranston. In turns,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I will offer each team a storyline that happened to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: help How an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. They
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: will say whether they think it's real or fake for
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: a point, just some simple trivia to start things off.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: That's all just to remind ourselves of the house storylines.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: So we will begin with the door slammers. Here is
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: your first sitcom plot point. While trying to take a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: peaceful weekend get away in his RV, Hall is mistaken
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: for a performance artist at a burning Man style festival.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Did that really happen? Or did I make it up?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: That did happen? The Burning Man episode is one of
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: my favorites. I think if I'm like choose it, like
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: if I'm like cherry picking specific specific episodes to watch,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that's like one of the ones that I go to.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, so, okay, that did happen? Do you remember it
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: happening as well? Julia?
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Oh no, but now you're probably going to be saying
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: a bunch of things that make me want to watch
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: because I'm like.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, Brian Cranston would degree at that.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Brian Cranston does do great.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true, So I believe that it happened.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: It did, indeed indeed happen. This is real for a point. Congratulations,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: thank you, we're on the doors. We're on the doors.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Slammers.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just reading of all the different things they had
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Emmy Award winning actor and the fact that with the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: revival they didn't shy away from still making him do
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: ridiculous things. It was just they'd be wild not to.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got the opportunity.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: What a performer. Okay, what's the shortened version of calling
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: your team? What should I call your team?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: For sure? I think you can shorten it to Ella
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of a Malcolm Malcolm. That's fine, Okay, I'll allow it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think based on the team name. It's your authority.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Ell of a Malcolm. He is your sitcom plot synopsis.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Convinced that a neighbor is cheating at competitive race walking,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: House spends days studying the man's gait.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I think that's real. I'm gonna trust you.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: It's fake.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Kyrie has found a little wrapper of some sort and
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: wants me to go find Kyrie bring it down. So
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: that's when Kyrie finds a piece of paper that she
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: thinks we need. It's your Well, why I mean you
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: have anything to me on here? I trust you implicitly
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: because I have I have no memory. I remember Lois's sweaters,
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: the disrespect Malcolm received from being the smartest person in
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: his house. No shade to my family, shade to my family,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: And so I'm gonna trust you, okay.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: And You're sorry. I was distracted, Kyrie. You originally said.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's real, it's real. I think it's real.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: It is indeed real. It's the racewalking episode.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I actually remember this one.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I can't have the helmet. This is it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: I thought I remembered it, and I was like, and
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: it's like a skin tight like suit, like we all
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: remember that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: But then I was like, wait, but was that a
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: different Was it race walking or was that skating?
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Or I know there's a little car episode. So I
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: was like, what if I've made all of this.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: It was my first introduction to the idea of speed walking,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: so it's that is actually a thing I remember pivotal.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, nice, okay, point each good stuff. We're off
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to a great start. Let's let's make things a little
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: more tricky. Now, a more tricky, A little bit more tricky,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: now tricky now sorry, I'm having a full sugar soorder
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: never happens before noon, before noon. I'm high. Right now,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the door slammers. Here is your next synopsis. How buys
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a new suit for work, but refuses to take it
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: off when people from other walks of life start to
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: respect him more.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: That does sound like sounds so real?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I haven't.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I can only say that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's it's one of those like tricksy
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: questions where it's like similar enough to an actual thing
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: that happened, but not white.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: It's like Matt' seen the show and he's he's fucking
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: with us, would I.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna say this is not This is a
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: made up This is a matter original. This is a
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: pitch that Matt made to be a writer on the show,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: but it never gone through.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: As Matt's sibling, I trust you.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: And that does accurately reflect my screenwriting. Yeah, this is fake,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: This isn't real. I think someone in another sitcom does
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: this which is why I like pulled it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: It's really good to remember this.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I think it's probably how I met your mother or
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: some bullshit Modern Family.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: It sounds very fill done.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: But they they wouldn't take you modern They wouldn't take
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: it to the extreme of it being like stinky.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would just be like, it's not a stinky show.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, it's not a stinky show.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: It's well, they have a brown tone like neutrals, whereas
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Modern Family is stark white.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: It's always sunny.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: It would definitely do it, and it would be like
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: that'd be rats.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now we need to get a sitcom stink scale going.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's my summer.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: And then there's a four quadrant of like stinky, and
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: then I don't know how much the dad loves.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: There's a correlation in this somewhere, Yeah.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Because Modern Family people Phil does love class.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: But there is still the old ball and Chain joke.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: There is, but mostly it's.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Claire at Phil.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, and Jay, but like so maybe it's like
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: a they can't they can't be stinky because they don't
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: love each other enough. And I think that's a lesson
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: for everybody.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: If you love each other enough, then you can bet stinky.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: I think it's also do they fart in front of
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: each other? I think that's maybe hard.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I slowed down. I'm not writing this down. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: don't think Phil has ever fought in front of Claire.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: I don't think she'd allow it.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I think he'd go outside.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: I think he never asked. Yeah, I think he never
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: asked whether or not she'd allow it. I think he
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: goes outside.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: He does love her in the same extremity as how
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: love's love.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we'll analyze it in the Modern Family episode. Yeah, sorry, no,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: you're good. It's very good. Sick commonalysis, I have autism.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Can we get that recorded for the sound? Okay, let's
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: let's of Eliva Malcolm. Another sitcom synopsis here, when do
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: he gets trapped in a storm drain house spends all
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: weekend keeping him company by talking into the drain.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: I think this is fake because do we get stuck
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: under the house?
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: And how lies about that?
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, and that's the type of tricksy stuff that Matt
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: would do.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: That's some that's some Matt tricksiness.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: I don't think he got stuck in a I don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: think he's stuck in a storm droom for.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: A full weekend as well.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I don't have any memory of that, So I think
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: if you have a memory of him getting stuck under
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: the house, then I think that that tracks.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I think that that's the trick that that's pulling on.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Going fake fake? Are you sure the trapped under the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: house thing wasn't a modern family that was.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: It was also a modern family plot line, and.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: This was fake for exactly the analysis you had. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: think there is a cold open where do he is
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: in a storm?
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Was about to say there's a cold open with a
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: storm drain, but then I don't want to sound like
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: too much of a nerd, So I'm glad you had that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, back on over to the door Slammers. Here is
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: your next synopsis. After Lowis starts losing weight, how who

  Speaker 5: Yeah again mind blown as a child with like the
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: diet culture and slim fast in my closet.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Sure, yes, it was the era for that, but also
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the era where was what you were nodding so much
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: that I feel like I'm not giving away this no, yeah, yeah,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: it's true, true, true, cool, Yes, it is true. Now

  Speaker 1: What a four wife?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I want my wife at one hundred percent?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Yeap. Just as we were discussing up top with Julia's muse,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: just a classic hell love's lowest storyline.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: It's just it's like, wow, they were doing this that early,
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: being like yeah, it's like fat women are people too?
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: What?
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: And she was like by standards of the time, I
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: feel like she was quote unquote of like chubby, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: she's not.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: She's not. God that arrow was.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I thought Hillary Duff was right chubby right.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: That Jessica Simpson thing hit for me and I was like,
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: oh no, oh it was bullshit.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: How was an icon? Yeah, Lois was an icon?
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: God is this a good show?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: All right? Back on over to Ela of Amalcolm. Here
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: is your next synopsis. After finding a carrot shaped like
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: a bowling pin, How begins collecting oddly shaped producee forging
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: an unlikely friendship with his mother in law.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: He would never forge an unlikely.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: It's simply too unlikely she was.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, she's only in episodes where she's awful, I think, So,
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: I don't have any redeeming memories of her. No, so
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: I think I think this is false.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I think false. Yes, because it's fake.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: You're a liar and this is fake.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Not even but like bonding over old vegetables from the
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: old country.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think she likes anything from the old country.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think she.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Likes anything from anything.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yep, you're right, thank you. Yeah, this just a chance
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: to introduce because even though she was a horrible person,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I always enjoyed Lois's mom because it like took the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: villain energy away from Lois.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you enjoy You gotta realize the family trauma.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to get it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: It's like whenever Lois is being like controlling and like
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: causing problems for her children, it's like, oh, but you
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: are still in the process of healing. Yeah, and then
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: obviously we know that in life is unfair. Malcolm messes
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: everything up and goes right back.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I just love an episode where there's a united front
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: and it's like usually against the grandma. But then that's
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: the neighbors, and then as that one episode where it's clowns.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a big three.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: They're so powerful when they're working together.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why they can't.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Simply all right, I got one synopsis left for each team.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Let's see if I can finally trick you with one
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: of these. I'm very annoyed right now.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: You've got like super fans.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: For the door slammers. Here is your final synopsis. After
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: being convinced his coffee addiction is getting out of hand,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: how checks himself into rehab where he leads a rebellion,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: fighting alongside those with much more serious addictions.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Again, that does sound like hell sounds like he gets
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: himself into some scrapes.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Would they be the type of people to address addiction
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: in that way?
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Like is that the show?
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: Like would they actually like put or would they also
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: be a family like wealthy enough to put him?
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I'm like, like, rehab.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: Is expensive, and I think the show would know that,
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: or maybe they would ignore it.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I think he does. I think again, like there's a simple.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Little little fight breaking between the camera.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: That classic in the middle.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Style, Cory, you can't be on top of the cat.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: S goalkeeper waiter scrapper.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Again, I think there is like a similar Hell storyline,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: but I maybe he gets sectioned at one point and
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: he like escapes a mental institution with everyone or like
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: unites everyone. But I don't think it's rehab because of
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: coffee addiction. Okay, so I'm gonna say fake ibe you
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: on the same.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, I feel and I'm sorry if I led you
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: there and it's wrong, but yeah, I think that I
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: think you're right.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice, well done.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah three to three. He I think he escapes from
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: a medical facility at one point, which is what you
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: might be thinking. And he has an episode where he
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: tries to give up coffee at the same time that
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Dewey is giving up six.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, how old was Dewey?
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: It was like season four, so yeah, like eleven.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: He just started smoking. He needed an edgy side.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: And that was because the actor just started smoking and
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: they were like, let's write this into a storyline. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: don't think that's true. I've got such a trustworthy voice
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: about this is amazing.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: The Brits We've had, certainly on an in person recording,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: and so there's going to be a lot of convincing
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: sounding things that are absolute.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: And now I know where mediocre comedians come over here.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: It's easy.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I am also a very gullible, earnest person, so I'm
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: always assuming that people are that way to me, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: I have to learn each person I meet. It's like
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: I've got a.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: A nation of lias.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You specifically are a liar.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: I love to five like a little rat.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, we got one last synopsis, but Eliva Malcolm here
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: it is how creates an elaborate imaginary radio persona named
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: kid Charlemagne to share life advice and incites riots in
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the local area as a result.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I have no memory of this. I have
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: no memory of this.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: It's the right.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a it's a house sort of thing.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: It is a house sort of thing. Hids Charlemagne. I
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: kind I don't even know what.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: I can't even remember what the thing is that if
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: this is fake, what Matt is riffing on, because that
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: is a recurring thing of like, oh do we got
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: trapped under the house, But I can't think of I
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: think it's real. Let's go real, and it's just probably
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: something we're not remembering.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if and if we're wrong.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: Then Matt gets to be very happy that we got
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: one of us got one of his.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Trivia things wrong.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I think that it's good for the community harmony. Yeah,
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: so we'll either get a point or there's good better
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: than you morally.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: That's what I heard.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to say that this is real.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: You're going with real. Well, we don't have to think
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about the moral dynamics because it is real.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that's what I wanted.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, all right, that's the end of round one.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Let's ask the crane Boins, the Creblins, the crale Bodes.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I can never pronounce that word, what is it?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: The crew boys.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Let's ask the krell Boins to calculate the current scores.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: They're smart.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: Our current scores are tied with the Door Slammers on
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: four and el of Malcolm featuring Hadra in it for
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: the art on four as well.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Nice, you did not fall for any of my traps,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: which I'm very annoyed by, and you're both at maximum
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: points so far. I also wrote these set up jokes
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: before I knew Corey would be keeping skull, So I'm
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: just gonna say Corey is also a craneum boy.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: I'll think I found like I thought for the longest
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: time that Crellboyne was like an American school thing, and
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: it's just for Malcolm in the middle.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Are you saying?
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: You keep saying there's like the class of smart kids
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: that Malcolm EN's o pine, and I thought it was like, oh,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: the gifted class. A nickname for that in America is
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: the Crellboyn class.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: Because they always when when Reese is bullying them, they're like,
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: why don't you.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Ask the rest of the crell boys?
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Is it like an acronym?
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's a I think it's related to like
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: a monster film, right.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, like some really niche thing that the writers just
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: put in.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: It's like, I think it's it's a monster film of
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: like mutated humans, maybe.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Wild in the way you might have got to mix
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: it with something else though.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: In the way that British people will lie to your
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: face in person. Americans live via media. Trust me.
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: I also experienced that I can't think of specifics, but
• 43:25
  Speaker 10: like definitely like being like, oh, yeah, that's just a thing,
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: and it's like, Nope, that's just something that writers did.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: A little shop of horrors. It's a little Shop of horror.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Is it a mutated human?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Let's find out.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: There's Audrey Audrey to.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Seymours surname maybe and he's like an example of.
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: A note and yeah, Seymour crewboy, got there, We got there.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: What am I thinking of that?
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Are you thinking of? Krohnin Berg?
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Malcolm, get back over there with the chron.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a very mean thing to call
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: these kids. I mean it still kind of is.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right? Up Next is round two after these
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: ads for v Tech Heals and True Move, it's the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: two thousands again babies see you after this. Round two
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: is called Matching Stories. It's the improv game where teams
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: will take on the role of two siblings up to
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: no good who have been caught in a scheme or
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: prank or other such misdeed. Your parent, played by me,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: will ask you questions about the situation you've been caught
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: in and your stories better match, so I need you
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: to answer as one voice, both speaking at the same time.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: I will then ask follow up quest questions based on
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: what you say in unison. Points will be awarded for
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: how well your voice is gel providing suitable justification for
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: your actions, and for Malcolm in the middle esque excuses.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: Do the follow up questions have to also be answered
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: in one voice?
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, always speaking at the same time. So we
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: are going to start with Aidan and Julia. Feel free
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: to keep eye contacts or if that's too much, because
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I'll hit the autism button then mind melt. Yeah all right, Okay,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: my beautiful kitchen, Aidan, Julia? How did you even make
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: this mess?
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Is see, we wanted to find the Grail two give
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: you for your birthday.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a likely story, the idea that the Holy
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Grail would be in our kitchen. How do you explain
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: this huge brown stain on the cupboard.
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: That was.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Because a god scares.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: By the curse?
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you're saying the Holy Grail is somewhere in
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: our suburban house and you got scared by the curse,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: and so the brown mess on the cabinet is that's
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: that's dookie?
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I still think you're both grounded. Is there
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: anything you can say to me right now that would
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: make me stop grounding you? We solved, Chris, Okay, fine,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: you're not grounded. No more follow up question. Your stories matched.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I think there was some there was some hanging around there,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: But I think your stories matched. I like that you
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: went the direction of the Holy Grail. That was nice.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: I loved where that came from. I'm going to give
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: you four out of five points for that. I thought
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: that was a pretty pretty solid excuse.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: So crazy, I'm just gonna.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Get wavy real quick.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: If we just do this, well we out the same thing.
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, exercises, Yeah, okay, okay, We've got another pair of
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: misbehaving siblings here.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Let's see what they got up to. Ordra, Hell my god,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: what destruction? What have you done to my wedding dress?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: This is.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Just in.
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: Peace for your aniversary.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Oh so you were thinking about me and your father
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: during this whole process.
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, and how much we love you.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: That's very sweet, but it doesn't remove the fact that
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: there is a huge hole in my wedding dress that
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: looks like it's been burnt. How do you explain that.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Can fairy.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Confetti caused the burnt hole in my twenty five year
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: old wedding dress? Yes, I was expecting. Okay, I think
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: this is grounds for you losing your allowance for a
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: full month. Is there anything you can say to me
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: right now that would stop me from doing that. Please
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: don't do that a reason since you asked nicely, go
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: to your room. Very good success. Yeah, oh man, look,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: I thought maybe the other team had like more unison
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: ronan answers, but I really enjoyed the single answer con
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: the potential reason that would have caused this destruction.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: We could have gone on.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Sometimes you need a one word answer as a treat,
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: and it was a lovely treat, and I didn't I
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: don't think I heard well.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Actually, there is a bunch of confetti in the finale
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: of the of the reboot of Malcolm.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: In the Middle, and it's made out of Lois's wedding dress.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I am going to give you a full five.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: And because we said Lois's wedding dress at the sage,
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: actually we've joined.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Oh that's what you said, Lois's wedding dress. Okay, I
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: didn't fully pick up on that one, but you'll.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Get it in the edit.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: You'll hear.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: We're winning.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Let's find out that is the end of the round.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Let's ask Corey, who, unlike Malcolm, is highly emotionally intelligent. Cory,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: what are theatable scores are The door slammers are at eight,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: but l of a Malcolm featuring in it.
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: For the art has pulled ahead with nine.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Still pretty close, but that is a clear lead now.
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: A right.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I wasn't joking when I referred to them as my opponent.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: That's outside of this room as well.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're deeply in love.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Enemies.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: It's a constant enemies to love at.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: All.
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Round three is called the Turkey Monk Fish. It's a
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: twist on the improv game family Dinner, which feels so
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: appropriate for a sitcom episode, especially Malcolm in the Middle.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: So many of those scenes are around the kitchen family
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: dinner table. In this game, all five of us will
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: participate in a four minute Sorry, Corey, I wrote this
• 52:01

• 52:13
  Speaker 2: between characters from Malcolm in the Middle. I will hand
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: each player a card that contains the name of the
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: character they are and a family secret that they have
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: bubbling under the surface the aim of the game, without
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: explicitly naming who you are or saying any of the
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: words in your secret. Connectives are allowed if they're there,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: you must communicate those two things for your teammate to
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: guess once the time is up. When the time is up,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: I will ask you who you think your teammate was
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: and what their secret is a point for each of those.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to hand these out, one for Audra,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: one for el, one for Julia, and one for Aiden.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Are you all familiar with who your characters are? Yes? Yes, yes, cool,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: and I will simply be playing the role of Reese
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: who has prepared a turkey monkfish for his loving family.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: So we have to guess who.
• 53:09

  Speaker 1: I'm just so happy that I get to be part
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm I'm also pretty happy, well like I
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: got finally get to come home after military school. No
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: one's no one, No one notices my accomplishments.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: I just can't wait until I take these reovers.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: To the outside because I did something.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: And the summons need this.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: This scripts yeah, what it's something to my turkey monkfish?
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, I can't wait to take the leftovers
• 54:03
  Speaker 5: after I'm done eating.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I guess that's fine.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Well, it smells delicious, frees and it was nice to
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: have the kitchen not burned down this time.
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we burning down is not desirable for anyone, I think.
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: I mean it makes I'd say, based on my new job,
• 54:20
  Speaker 6: it makes for great television that I could report on.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't report on fire.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't talk about fire.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: We should Well, I didn't burn anything. No, we definitely
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: shouldn't talk about fire. This is a delicious monkfish.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: And it smells so good.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Oh are you okay?
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: I'm fine?
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Are you sure?
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: I'm absolutely fine. I don't need you criticizing me all
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Oh suck.
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: That's why dogs are so great, because they can't criticize you.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: I love dogs.
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: I'm more of a cat person, I think, although I
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: do remember, I do you remember what Dewey did?
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: Is?
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: Is this something you want to tell me?
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: I like you a lot, and I'm so grateful to
• 55:19
  Speaker 7: get to work with you every day.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: All I wanted was a nice, delicious monkfish Thanksgiving dinner
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: with my family. But everyone's ranting and raving about nonsense.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: It's just that the noise of the.
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: Hundred, which is a perfect number, that I can hear
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: them outside they're starving.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't have let them out there.
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm sorry if I sorry, if I'm a
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: little out of it, like I have to get up
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: so early for my new job. It's not right wing propaganda,
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: but it also is right wing propaganda, and just so
• 56:00
  Speaker 6: early in the morning, you're disappointing.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I have six pm. Are you on drugs?
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: What is the.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: Matter with you?
• 56:10
  Speaker 6: I'm okay, nothing is the matter with me anymore. But
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: also something is very much the matter with me. They
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: just paid me a lot of money to work here,
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: and it's fine. It's fine.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of money is a really good idea.
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: I don't think we should be criticizing anything that could
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: help a lot of money.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Although I do love working with you.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: I gotta know, how.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Are you feeling, what's going on?
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling fine. I felt a little queasy this morning,
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: but it was nothing to do oh with the dinner
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: being cooked.
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: Does it have to do with the thing that was
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: in the trash in the bathroom that had piss on it?
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: I told you to stop going through our bathroom trash.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: I will never stop.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Can we please stop talking about piss when I've prepared
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: these creamed potatoes to go with my turkey munkfish, perfect
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: for the dogs?
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: And is that what the noise is outside?
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: I thought that.
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: You know, once you said something free, it goes away,
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: but it just follows you.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: I have had it. This is this was supposed to
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: be my day, This was supposed to be my Thanksgiving,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: but all of you have once again ruined it. Is
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: there anything you finally have to say for yourselves?
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: No one should go to the Lucky Aide extra snacks.
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: We should all eat this food and not go to
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: the Lucky Aids.
• 57:40
  Speaker 6: Right? I just think I think maybe maybe we shouldn't
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: watch Middle, middle of the Road or left wing news.
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: Maybe we should just be watching American right wing news.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: And so port my new career.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: One hundred and one is one too many?
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Anything you got to say?
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Nothing that I can say explicitly at the dinner table?
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: All right, that's the dinner? What a what a lovely dinner? Julia?
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Who do you think Aiden was? Aiden was? Lois that
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: is correct? For a point? And what is Lois's secret
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: that's bubbling on.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: The show is pregnant.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: I'm anything more specific.
• 58:31
  Speaker 5: An unplanned pregnancy, anything, twins.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: I'll take it Lois is pregnant with twins. That'll be
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: two points there for the door slammers. Let's let's stay
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: over with the door slammers. Aiden, Who do you think
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Julia was?
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Initially thought it was the grandma because of the cigarette,
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: and then I remember that we referenced Dewey smoking, So
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: I think Julia was Dewey. And I think had corralled
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: one hundred neighborhood dogs into the yard.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of any any more specific where those.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, stolen a bunch of dogs.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're going to give the point for
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: that released one hundred dogs get into the neighborhood? Is
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: what do you did? So that's like four out of
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: four points. Then yes, let's move on over to Elvia
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Malcolm Ordrome. Who do you think l was?
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: I can't remember the guy that Lois works with.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: It's in love with her, and I want to say Norman,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I can't remember his name.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think I can give you the point.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: Then Elbert.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: One more game. It's another name that is pronounced differently
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: in America in English.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I know that doesn't help him.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Similar to Bernard.
• 59:56
  Speaker 6: Bernard doesn't sound like the can I guess what if
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: we said at the same time, then that's allowed.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gay Craig, Sorry, I'll translate.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the point for that. But what was
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: what's craig secret?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: I think Craig burnt down the Lucky Aige.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: It's correct as well for a point. And Elle who
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: was Audra Francis? Ordra was indeed Francis, And what was
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Francis's secret? Bubbling under just started working for Fox News
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: because the actor would four points there, well done? What's
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: a successful dinner?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: I would have said, Herb, Herb, Herb is a good
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: neget that you pronounced Craig, Craig, Craig.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: We don't have any herbs, do we in in the UK?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: Really probably, but they would go by bertatability.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Bertie.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: All right, that's the end of round three. Let's ask
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: the intelligent Stevie to calculate the latest scores, but maybe
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Corey will read them.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: Intelligence Stevie is not here, but I can tell you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: that the door slammers are on twelve and Elva Malcolm
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 8: featuring Odre it's optional.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's on thirteen nice okay, very close heading into
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: the final round, was sorry, was there some animosity there?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Normal amount norm amount ages tutted?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: I mean the little Greggs.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: I think we said it at the same time.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: We said it.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: But if you're saying at the same time, someone's always leading.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: No, we're better at this than you.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 6: We're incredible, we have we have excelled beyond our teacher.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we mind meladoay and now it's like the words
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 7: are coming from like like inside.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I did also coax the twins out of your team.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: That's fair, you know, that's actually fair.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: And I think Craig is difficult because Craig is not
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: in the family.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a tricky one. He just always seems
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: to be bad.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: He is always.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: I had gotten either of you, I would have been
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: totally fucked. I don't remember that there was a Francis oh.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: At military school. He killed some rats, isn't there.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: I just think of Reese, Malcolm and Deweys.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I threw and know you're always
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: forgetting about me.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, they would forget about you
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: if we want some more sitcom trivia as well. I
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: know why Francis was written into the show. Child label
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: laws meant that all of the three main kids couldn't
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: film for very long, and so the Francis storylines were
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: written in to pad the episodes out and so they
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: could film him on his own.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good, dang.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm glad that they were, you know, adhering
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: the child.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Labor You would hope it's sort of a minimum.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 7: No matter how good your show is, I don't want
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 7: to watch it if you haven't heard child labor law act.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: How good would a show happen now? Simply can't go
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: down that train in twenty twenty six.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: The answer is there is no amount nineteen eighty mediocre
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: and they would be.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, get out of these laws. That kid's making
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: me laugh. Yeah, welcome twenty four hours straight. Give us
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: a cigarette?
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: Did we do that all? Right? Before we get to
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: our final crucial quick fire around, let's talk prizes this episode.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Star Prize is the concept of living paycheck to paycheck.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Two thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and just
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: as a reminder, Patreon dot com for this independent production,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: but our winning team will also receive a gang of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: beefcakes who will follow them around everywhere.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Can we get that on the plane home?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: Beter than the crying baby gang of slippery oiled at beefcakes.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Oh they're oiled up.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, fine, that makes it less enticing than me.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: Now they're gonna get grease everywhere.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: I want my beefcakes dry.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, horrible.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Up next is our crucial quick fire around after this
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: last ad break. I promise it's more than just the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: credits and an underwritten closing scene joke about how Americans
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: structure their advertisements. Our final quick fire around will test
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: your broader pop culture knowledge, and it's called middle child syndrome.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Do we have any middle children at the table?
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: You? You know?
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: What's that like?
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: That's fine?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: What is the birth order? I'm only.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: Eldest middle and then an unseen youngest.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: I'm the baby okay, youngest as well? Okay, baby team here, Baby.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Cory. Just while we're going around the table, elders Els
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: checks out. That's why we trust you with the Scott
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Sweet In this game, I will give up players clues
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: to a middle child from pop culture history. Those clues
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: will be a list of that character's family members, starting
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: with parents before moving on to siblings.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: And it's not from Malcolm in the Middle.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Not from Malcolm in the Middle. This is all of
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: pop culture. There is a classic gate Leapers twist. You
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: need to turn to the camera, look directly at it
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: and say I think the answer is, and then the name.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: If you say the answer to me, I will not
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: give you the point.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, do we buzz?
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Yes? You buzz in by yelling out your team name.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Let's practice that.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: Now, clams just a very l l out.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: Your I said a buzzing. Can we just just really
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: up the audio?
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Really did not enjoy that. He's coming to tell you.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: This is the stage manager.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: With the props.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: Check out?
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Is he a middle child?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: No, he's currently the youngest. He's currently the youngest. When
• 1:06:47
