• 2:18
  Speaker 1: an Auder. I think we'll start with you. Are you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a rom com fan?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I enjoy rom coms. I didn't watch as many growing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: up because I was like, I couldn't be like other
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: girls and enjoy these movies.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I was wrong. I wasn't like other girls. I was worse.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Now I am seeing the light in just being a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: human and enjoying things. So I thoroughly enjoy a good
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: rom com.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Excellent. That's that's good to know. And it's even if
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you didn't enjoy a good rom com. You are partnered
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with someone who's written a rom com trivia book, So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I think you'd be think you'd be okay. So, Neil,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I've got to ask a very awkward question. That would
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be awkward if you said, no, are you a fan
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of rom coms?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I actually hate them? No, No, I love rom coms.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I always have since I was a kid. And you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: my wife and I had a rom com themed wedding,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: got married in an old movie theater. Our friend who's
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: an editor of mine, cut together a movie trailer of
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: the greatest roalm com moments to open up the ceremony,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: and it was just a really nice event. And so
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I think i'd have to, yeah, definitely say I love
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: rom coms.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my goodness, that's incredible, so cool.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Oh that's so cool.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I retroactively want to be invited to that wedding.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Can I be friends with you in the past, Neil.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, I have a time portal. Right here,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I'll open it up. We'll go right back. There's popcorn,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: thero soda. Everyone's invited.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, Hugh Jackman can have a time portal, so can you. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that's right. I just less abs and less muscles, but
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: it's still the same.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, good stuff. I think you're going to make a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: good team. Actually, before before I introduce your opponents, if
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite rom com, just want to shout out,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just like full Time Top prom Com.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I have a different favorite realm com for different Oh
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: yeah in the present at this exact moment.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Oh or this general five of time does to this
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: exact moment.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I simply, I simply could not. Well, I was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: thinking today as I was looking back at rom coms
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and like refreshing my memory, I want to go back
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and watch The Big Sick again. Oh sure, because I'd
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: watched that when it first came out, and I was
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: thinking back and I was like, that feels like that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: feels like.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: A need to rewatch.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll say I have a need to rewatch,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: but I could not pick a favorite.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Just kidding. It's when Harry met Sally.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And Neil. What about you? Have you got a favorite
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: rom com in this moment.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: In this moment, I think that's a great way to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: put it. At what Roger said, I think you have
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: different rom coms for different things. I think you know
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the one that reminds me of getting rid of my wife.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: We watched it on our way to getting engaged. We
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: got engaged in New York and did a scavenger hunt
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: for and we just love You've Got Mailed because it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: such a great New York City rom com. Tom Hanks, Magrand,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: you can't really beat it. And Nora Fron is one
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: of the greatest filmmakers of all time. And yeah, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: love that one.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Oh perfect, perfect answer. Good stuff. I think I'll produce
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: your opponents now. I think it's about time. Because this
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is a quiz, you'll need some opponents to play against.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And just for this episode, I'm going to introduce them together.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They are cast members here at gate Leapers. We love
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: them as individuals, but today, for the rom com episode,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'd like to tap into their knowledge as a couple
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and see if this makes or breaks them.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It's Chris and Jen Reagan A.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: What I mean, if there's anything I'm learning is that
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Neil is really showing up Matt and Chris, I sit
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: back and just let you guys feel.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's because we're the problematic friends of the couple,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: friends of.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: The protests, the protagon, sta Yea and that are just.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Like always young at each other.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: You need us as a foil for your characters.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: So how truly love they are?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: We are exactly we are truly the couple in serendipity.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: That's like the friend and his wife who he's like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: I need to get reconnected and at the end he's like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go get her. We're just that problematic off screen. Yeah, well,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: best friend with marriage problems.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You're lying the whole time time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You guys hate each other.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Our friendships a lie. Wow, they're the main characters. Are
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: like fully taking taking this stage. We're just in the background.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: No, but we don't hate each other. So it's cool.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I feel like we're a little too deep in a
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: bit now.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: So we're we just celebrated our eight year anniversary in November.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: We're fine.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: You have a great like you know, nineteen forties, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Carrie Grant, Katherine Heppern, you know, yeah, scopball energy, which
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: is that everyone needs that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's the best compliment I've ever gotten in my entire life.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: You might need a break, appreciate it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I need to take a walk.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Well, that's good that we're able to tap into you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: guys as a couple, because I think, yeah, it would
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be kind of embarrassing, and if a couple lost their
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: roum com episode right like, that wouldn't exactly be a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a good thing. You've got that connection, that chemistry.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Well, Matt, I never lose this game, so this.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Was a really good foil for each other. Chris famously
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: loses most of his games, and I famously hold the
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: best records, so we're probably gonna end in a tie,
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: not if.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I have anything to say about it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: All Right, Well, let's let's see where your knowledge is at.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Chris.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You a fan of roum coms?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I am. I really do love rom coms. Grew up
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: watching them a lot with my mom and everything, And
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: which is kind of surprising because like we grew up.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I grew up in a very very dude household, one
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: of one of six, most of which were dudes, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of sports all that kind of stuff. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: like we still made for musicals, We still made time
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: for rom coms. I think that really rounded me out
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: as a person because I base everything in my life
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: off of movies, So you know, either.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Moment man exactly. All right, Jen, what about yourself? Are
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you a fan of rom coms as well?
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well our job was playing that not like
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: other girls routine. I was that girl watching a lot
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: of these movies on like TBS or TLC or cable channel.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: So like when I started watching them, and it's an
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: adult or older in life when I would watch the
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: whole thing and be like that got cut out. I've
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: never seen that scene work. So there was always those
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: like specific scenes that got cut for the TV viewing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I started watching round comms at a very
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: young age, mom and sister, and then like every girlfriend
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: that I had growing up, we just were obsessed and
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: it's the go to how to get cozy for the
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: season seasonal rom.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Coms, Yeah, oh definitely. Yeah. This season feels like the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: start of the rom com season. It's sort of like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Holiday through to Valentine's you know, yeah, it's.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Once you've hit like September and we're technically in fall
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: and you, yeah, you bust out the Nora from movies
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: and then you hit the holiday Christmas rom coms and
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: then you end on Valentine's Day. Yeah, it's fantastic, it
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: really is.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And so Jen, would you say, is a holiday rom
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: com one of your favorite rom coms? In this moment?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Obviously that's what we've established.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just thinking about that question, and I
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: would say the Holiday is one of my favorite rom coms.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: But like year round, Now, do I have a problem
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: with Cameron Diaz is acting cry acting? Absolutely? But who
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: the other three ensemble? Really send it home so we
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: can forget her? But yeah, definitely, especially in this season.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: But I'm all, so, I love a good shitty Christmas movie, like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: you know, anything from Netflix, anything that has a bell, Gravier,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: Aldovia or Genova, whatever.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Last I love that all the ones you said are
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: very accurate. An are in the movies.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh she knows her lore.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: European countries.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: We're deep in the Netflix Christmas cinematic universe.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Alrighty if it doesn't happen as the HUDs pretending to
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: be someone else, thank you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Oh that's perfect. Oh yeah, incredible, great, great, AD's a yeah,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the holiday times, it's also the romance times. These things
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: blend together. Chris, I've got to ask you as well
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: if asked everyone else, is do you have a favorite
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: rum Com?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: And actually I was reminded of it. I don't even
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: remember what our conversation was last week, but we were
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: hanging out with y'all, and I remembered Sabrina and not
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the Humphrey Bogart one, the Harrison Ford one, the Harrison
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Ford and Grekeknire one from the nineties. I that movie
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: is like so deep in my heart and soul. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you know, I haven't seen it in years. Great chance
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: that it's super problematic. I don't know. I don't remember,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: but I just have very fond memories of that movie.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to say that one.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good answer. I'd love to riff with
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you here, but I've not actually seen that movie, so
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I cannot.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: We just did a matter reference that. That's fine. All right,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: good stuff, Teams, You've now arrived in New York City

• 12:03

• 12:15

  Speaker 1: Oh? Sure, okay, six?
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Okay? Could you give me a plural noun? So a
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: noun but it has an S at the end bees
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: ooh okay. And then can you give me an American city,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: preferably not Denver, just to get us out of our
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: own okay show?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go with Grand Rapids. That's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the place, isn't it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, that's actually honestly, so this is actually perfect.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: So our team name is six P's and Grand Rapids.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: And now this is actually a sequel. This is the
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: sixth sequel to the B movie. So got Jerry Seinfeld
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: on you know, and the love that he made with
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: that human woman just really evolves throughout the sixth the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: B movie universe really at this point. So yeah, that's
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: that's our team name the six P's and Grand Rapids.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love your brick. Six bees in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Grand Rapids. I mean, I can't up with it. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: should remember it. Six bees in Grand Rappits. I really
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: wish I hadn't said bees.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad you did the story rights itself.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: We've got a bee keeper falls in love with, you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: a dancer who loves the movie Honey starring just scal But.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's an amazing movie.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Jerry Seinfeld is already signed on.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: So when we were play testing this, we were like, okay,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: thirteen and then I was like, do we do proper
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: nouns or normal manouns? And I was like, uh, we
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: named like a sports team and I said in like
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Billings Montana or something like that. And he was like
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: like does that work? And he was like, yeah, the
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: team gets stuck in Montana and they all find love
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: interests in the airport. And I was like, yeah, you're right,
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: writes it works.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: We can the mad Lib Jacks out. That's all I'm saying. Yeah,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I buy it. It's almost like love is in everything
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: and all around us. Gross, So we have how to
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: lose a game in four rounds versus six bs in
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: grand rapids.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I love the out of context.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: The se is gonna be so good for.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: This, all right. And if you're listening to this and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: thinking these kinds of films are so fake, love is boring. Actually,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: first of all, blame don't worry his order with a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: little segment we like to call passing knowledge.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Romantic comedies or rom coms, are a subgenre of comedy
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and romance fiction focusing on lighthearted, humorous plot lines centered
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: on love and how it can surmount all obstacles. Obstacles
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: up to and including a small but devas dating miscommunication.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: While the idea of a funny movie where the main
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: characters fall in love goes back to the thirties, if
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I told you to picture a romantic comedy, you would
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: probably picture one from what is known as the Golden
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Age of romantic comedy. You were picturing pretty women, weren't you. God,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you are so predictable. See this is why we can
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: never be together. Honestly, how could you not picture something
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: from the Golden Age with classics like When Harry Met Sally,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail all the way
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: through to Miscongeniality, two Weeks Notice and the Proposal. Other
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: rom coms not starring Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock are available,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: so it's just two people falling in love. Big whoop,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: big whoop. Indeed, we love rom coms for good reason.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: They bring lightheartedness of jokes, the comfort of familiar tropes,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and the high stakes.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Of love itself.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So set down that boombox you're holding over your head
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: because you had me at Let's play Pandemonium.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Audra. Just before we get to today's games,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I've asked each player to bring in a muse, something
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that inspires them or something they love from this particular fandom.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Rom Coms are inspiring to me because they help us
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: contextualize the concept of love, you know, the very romantic
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: thing to do contextualized concepts. Audra will start with you,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: what's inspiring you from the world of comantic remedies.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I am inspired by the love story between a dynamic
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and impulsive American woman and a mild mannered bread who
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: met by chance, and they fall in love even though
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: they live such different lives on the other side of
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the planet, and you know, they fall in love and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: they decide to live in England. Wait, wait a second,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: this is not my muse notes, this is the lot
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: of nodding Hill. Okay, no one would choose, well, I
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't choose to live in England.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: US.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Do I have to join in to guarantee my citizens?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, no, I would live in the UK, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I prefer the States I do as well, so good,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: but I love any movie that does have that US
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: UK selfishly.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: But I couldn't. I couldn't resist the chance to make
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: a nodding hill.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Joe, that was a good bet. That was a good bet.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: You're just a girl on a podcast sitting in front
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: of a boy hosting the podcasts.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, asking him to give me a bonus point, not
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: a dry dry.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: No, that is that is a good use. You've you've
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: referenced a rum com style story, so very good, break good, absolutely, Okay,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: We'll move on over to your how to lose a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: game in four rounds teammates, Neil, what's inspiring you from
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: brom coms?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: That's a great question.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I think I talked about my wife before, but I
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: think ever since I was a kid, you know, there's
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: such fantastical versions of love that, you know, even if
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: your life's kind of going a wry or wrong, as
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Jen said, you can kind of cozy up and watch
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: them and feel better.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: I remember the first sort of meet cute, if you
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: want to call it that. When I was a kid,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I was at a school dance and my first dance
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: ever was with a friend of mine named Fallon, who
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: was two feet taller than me and had Frankenstein arms
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: outstretched dancing with her two Brian Adams. And ever since then,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: you know, I think seeing other people kind of try
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: and succeed in love, whether it's a grand gesture or
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: a letter, or you know, seeing Jennifer Fewitt walk through
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: the door and can hardly wade and trying to winter love,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: all that stuff is just, I don't know, just kind
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: of fun to think about, even though it is sort
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: of very fake and formulaic. But it's comfort that it
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: is formulaic, and that's why I love it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. It's As I was revisiting some of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: these films, I thought, wow, there really is a formula
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to it, but in the ones with great writing, it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: comes from a col truth that comes from that. That's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a cool risk that we all experience when we take
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the gamble of like approaching someone or getting to know someone,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: or putting our hearts on the line a little bit.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It comes to even if it plays out formulaic in film.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things that I think if
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: there's cliches or formulaic things, it says something about human nature.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: And what a wonderful thing to say about human nature.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: We love love, Yeah, and I love the fact that,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of like everyone gets the same
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: ingredient list, the filmmakers and the writers, and we've gotten
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: to a point now, thankfully, where in more modern times
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: the films are more diverse, they have more storylines that
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: haven't been told before, and so you're giving everyone the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: same ingredients, but they can make something really really cool
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: each time, and it's fun to kind of explore that
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: with them and discover them too.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely definitely. That's Yeah, that's very inspiring. That's the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: exact definition of amuse. I am inspired. Okay, moving on
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: over to six Bees in Grand Rapids, Jen what's inspiring
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you from rom coms.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Rom Coms are off in my palate cleanser. Like I
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: was just telling a friend that I do like a
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: lot of fantasy reading and when I'm like bogged down
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: by lore and a lot of story beats and details,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: that's fantastic. That's that genre. Or like a long TV
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: series that does the same thing, there's nothing better than
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: an hour and a half or you know, forty five
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: minutes in, there's gonna be a miscommunication trope and you're
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: gonna be like, why did you think that if you
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: guys were just literally turn around and talk to each other,
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: you'd be just fine. But that doesn't give you as
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: a movie and entertainment and the big finale kiss at
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: the end, but that that is just such a cozy, comforting,
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: hopeful place to be. And then the fact that, like
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: like Neil is just saying, you can really flavor it
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: up depending on the season or the diversity of like
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: the identities people are holding, or a region or whatever.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Like give me a Midwestern farm going at a business,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Give me an Upstate horse ranch that is going out
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: of business, Give me a California vineyard that's going out
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: of business.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: You're right, capitalism crumbling is a palate cleansing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, wow, we really got to that regardless, But
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter, like it just comes back and it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: always wholesome. And yeah, I will highlight the season because
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: it is the season. But you know, I get very
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: excited to line up all of the holiday rom coms
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: once we get going and watching them. And yeah, even
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: though I watch all the same movies every single year,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. It feels like going home in a way.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, returning to a familiar place. The partially what a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: palate cleanser is. I suppose the other thing is to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: cleanse the palette after something different, a fa like Lowell
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: excellent stuff, Jen very inspiring. Last, but not least, Chris,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: what's inspiring you from rom coms?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: You know, we all love rom coms here, But what
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: I also love is this little movie called They Came
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Together that so perfectly makes fun of rom coms. And
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's not talked about enough, it's not
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: appreciated enough. Uh, and so that's gonna be my muse.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: They Came Together, starring Paul Rudd and Amy Holler. Of
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: course I was gonna mention Paul Rudd. I'm not a monster.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: No, I'm saying other people. You're highlighting other.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, everybody else is ready. Yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: it's a problem for everybody else for sure. For sure. No,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: but that is the one movie I could show at
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: any point throughout all of college and people actually have
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: a good time and not complain about it. So it
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: was like, hey, this is a great so I'm gonna
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: go with that ticket. Is my golden ticket into not
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: getting raped.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: It is kind of like rom conception, right, I mean,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: if it is a rom com, even though it's parading
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: rom coms, someone who enjoys it is actually liking a
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: ram comming if they hate them.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's like the perfect middle ground. You know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: they still love me, they still fall in love.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: That's right, you've got you've got tricks into loving love.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Idiot.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Oh that's great. I do really like that movie, so yeah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I do think it's Also it doesn't get doesn't get
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: spoken about a lot, so it's it's nice. Yeah, use
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the use the muse segment to platform some media that
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: people should check out.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: It's just my second favorite movie. I couldn't have to.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: When we were talking about our favorite movie. So just
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: slipping in a second.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well prepared. I love it all right, seems I'm
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: feeling very inspired by all your muses. I think it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: time for some games. Are we ready for some games?
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Let's do it?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, teams, Let's get in the cab and follow her
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to the airport. Not in it way as we raise
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a round one. Round one is called when Harry Met Silly.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: In turn, I will give our players a synopsis to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a brand new rom com movie from the history of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the genre, except I've changed one letter one of the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: words to create a whole new film. So it's gonna
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: be a recognizable film, but one letter has been changed
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to create a whole new meaning. So for example, if
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I said Billy Crystal has a series of chance encounters
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: with the same wacky clown in New York City, the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: answer would be when Harry met Silly. Correct answers get
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: two points. If you don't know, you can do the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: thing that men finally learn in the third act of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a rom com and ask your partner for help. And
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: if they know, I'll still give you a team a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: point because teamwork. Okay, So we're going to start with
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a synopsis I guess that's what these are. These are questions.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Their synopsis start with a synopsis for Udra. Okay, here
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: it is a championship fight of the Octagon, uses her
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: wedding to learn who her real father is, set to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: an Abba soundtrack.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's going to be Mama Mia, but fighting themed?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: How do I make this fighting themed?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Mama Mma, Yes, Mama Mma.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Pick up.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: That took me a.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: Second with only m's and a's.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would you watch Mama Mma?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: Probably?
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was definitely thinking Slammer Mia.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: But hey, that's good too. Okay, let's let's move on
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: over to six BS. In Grand Rabbit Rapids, Let's have
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: a synopsis for Jen Here, here we go. A recently
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: widowed shepherd moves to Washington State with his eight year
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: old son. However, they find themselves without a flock.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: Why did every single movie just exit my brain?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: The partner you need some help? Yeah, Sheepless in Seattle.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Really gave me that one tootle the Washington State, just
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: like Seattle and Washington didn't connect in my brain.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Not the same place.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Get out of here, man's wait, Seattle is in Washington, right? Yeah?
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I was just taking her side, even though I was
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: still wrong.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Smart, you win the rom com. Okay, back on over
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to how to lose a game in four rounds. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: might abbreviate that to four rounds. From now, maybe we'll.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Go four rounds. Sounds good?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Four rounds, Okay, four rounds, Neil. Here is your synopsis.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: A group of friends remove all invasive species of plant
• 29:58

  Speaker 1: who died on the job.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, so invasive species of plant. I'm assuming it's four

• 30:22
  Speaker 4: might know it?

  Speaker 2: I think I know. I think he's gone more general
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: general specific.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Do you want to reach out to your geopatna for
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a point?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I think in the spirit of rom coms, I have
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: to extend my hand here to do ice skating.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Is it for weedings? And it is indeed full?
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, Hi, like puns are the bag.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It have been a few years since we've done a
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: pun thing.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: You're right, I was doing so specific I should have
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: just gone simple.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well we'll move back on over to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: bees bees.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, six bees versus four rounds. Oh okay, not rom
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: comi at all, but it does have a similar structure.

  Speaker 1: This sounds like action movies. Actually, six p's in four rounds?
• 31:18

  Speaker 1: I've ever won, Matt. Okay, that is the end of
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: the round, and I'm just so glad I didn't have

  Speaker 1: to read the clues for Nutting Hill. So let's let's
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: let's get those scores. Let's look deep in each other's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: eyes and see if we can find those scores. And
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: those scores are four rounds are on six points, six
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: b's are on one point.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: What wow? So good.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Look. I don't want to brag, but I got around.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Up next is round two. After we play, these ads

  Speaker 1: look still less product placement than in your average rom com.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Let's be let's be real, argandas Round two is cold
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: say anything, because in this round I don't want to

• 43:06
  Speaker 1: above your head. Okay, oh yeah, that's right. That's a
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: big romcom reference right there, that one. So in this
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: we're all familiar with say anything, right, like the the
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: boombox above the heads, all that stuff. So in this game,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I will start reading clues to a specific romantic comedy
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to one member from each team. As soon as they
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: know the answer without saying their answer. That player must
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: scavenge their dwelling for an item that represents that film.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I'll give a point to whoever returns first with a
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: relevant item above their heads. And when you return, when
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: you're both back, i'd like you to say anything to
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: justify your choice and how it connects to the movie,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and if I believe you, it'll be worth a point.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Any questions about this one, I know it involves movement,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Be safe, don't trip over anything, all that good stuff.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: I'll do.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: I'll do my best, okay, and yeah, remember to leave
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: as soon as you know the answer, because the clues
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: can be quite quite long. So this first one is

  Speaker 1: You know it's fine. Okay, Jen, Neil, are you ready
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: to scavenge?
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, here is your clue. This film was the
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: directorial debut for a legendary writer of comedy and coming
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: of age movies. It also launched the careers of both
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Molly Ringwold and Anthony Michael Hall fall Out Boy would
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: like a little less of this nineteen eighty four film
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and a little more Touch Me, which is very forward
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and rude. I wonder if this film is still rude.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I wonder if for age as well.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: We have Neil who has returned with an item above
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: his head.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: I have two, but I guess I can only do one.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: So you're a lad to you.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: We can say too, Okay, all right, okay, So that's
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: definitely going to be the points in Neil for being first.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: But Neil, would you like to describe the two items
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: that you have above your head?
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: So the first is a book? By someone named Kevin Smokeler.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: It's called Brett Peck America, a love letter to eighties
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: teen movies, which includes a chapter on sixteen candles, the
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: home in question, and also a laser disc of career opportunities.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: Probably the first roundcome I watched and had a crush
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: on Jennifer Connolly, written by John Hughes, who also was mentioned.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: So those are my two items.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Perfect, Yes, definitely a point for a correct item. That
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: sixteen candles was indeed the movie in question. Ten's back
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: and Jenny's back.
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: I was already back. I couldn't put sixteen candles in
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: my hands.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Here's three nice and that's just about above your head.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: That's safety My candle drawers right here. So I was
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: trying to rummage without making a lot of.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, brought them in fully lit by the way.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: House dedication.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, Jenna is sixteen candles, and look it's
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: not sixteen, but it's some candles.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: In that count some it's the it's the sequel, it's
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: some cans or the prequel. And then we got to sixteen.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, do you guys want to do another scavenger hunt?
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: H yeah, scavenging sweet I'm down for it. I like
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it because I get to just stay here and have
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: and I sit down. Okay, this we are back to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Audra and Chris again for this one. Here is your
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: next clue. This fantasy comedy, which mercifully doesn't feature the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: face of its disgraced director, sees Owen Wilson step back
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: in time to visit with creative icons from the early
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: twentieth century the whole time. This pretentious neurotic you know what,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: come to think of it, It's clearly a self insert
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: from old Woody.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: There.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Wow, it's one of my favorites.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Here's a really good film.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Especially for the reason you mentioned at the time.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: That was so quick, Adre.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be the point for speed.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: I was hoping you were going to ask you've got mail,
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: possibly because I have a za Bar's bag where they
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: they filmed the last miles of New York a couple
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and I was going to bring that
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: in but and say happy Thanksgiving back, but we didn't
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: have to do that.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: So this is an envelope. It technically is a male
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: that I could yeah and put above my head and is.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: So ready and there is Chris backward that I am.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: So we'll start with ultra what did what did you bring?
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Describe your item?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: So this is an illustration of La Pitit Prance, a
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: book by Antoine des Osbury.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll fix it post if not.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't taken French in I don't know, fifteen years,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: but this is a letter that features that French illustration
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Midnight in Paris. I can't remember the format. I'm just
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: so high on the fact that I got this so quickly.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Yes you did, and you got a point for being
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: the fastest, and that's linked enough to Midnight in Paris
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: for for my liking. Chris, I think you also knew
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the movie as well, if we're playing on cultural stereotypes, Yes.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I did. I also haven't seen this movie. I was
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: looking for my you know, autographed what he aled in pictures?
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: You know, he hated hate to see it. So I
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: got vermouth defonse. Yeah, just some French for mood. That's
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: the only we don't have a lot of French things
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: in our house. Considered bread. Is that the vermouth that
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: when you drink it it judges you. Yeah, yeah, that's
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: why it's almost full. I don't need that in my
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: own house. Pay for it, but I'm not gonna use it.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Oh good stuff. Yeah, points for the correct answer that Chris.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: You knew it was midnight in Paris, you knew we
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: were talking. And Neil, as you mentioned it is. It's
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: one of the Woody Island movies that still be enjoyed.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nowhere to be found. So that's great.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't see his face. Okay, we're going to
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: have one more scavenger hunt. We're going to go back
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: to Neil and Jen for this one. Gen. Do you
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: want to swap seats or.
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: I've got some good I got some good clearance.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, good to know. Okay, here is your clue. This
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: early two thousand's rom Com grossed three hundred and seventy
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: million dollars on a five million dollar budget and was
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: one of the first films to address the lives of
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: a particular European cultural identity in America. How would you
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: react if your daughter brought brought home and Ian Miller there,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: it is a matrimonial celebration.
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: Shut my head.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think that was it. I think that was
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: a dead time.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I'd argue Jen because she put it over her head.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Before she did. Yes, okay, and this.
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: Is coming from someone not on her team.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: We agree.
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: I agree you made us on our team as a
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: couple for a reason. So I am using my own
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: wedding ring. Oh nice, big factory wedding.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Nice, there we go, wedding wedding ring. It connects. I
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: love it. Neil, well did you bring Yeah.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: So I I brought a gift from my wife's best friend.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: It's a drawing of our wedding venue. It says Tivoli
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Theater Happily ever After in our wedding date.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Cute.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: We have a drawing of our.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: Locations too, I wish I had. I don't wear jewelry,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: so I don't have a wedding ring, which I know
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: is probably bad. I'll be able to get a tattoo,
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: but but yeah, I couldn't do it. It was so smart.
• 53:36
  Speaker 6: I was like, wait a second, I have it on me.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Honestly, if you couldn't get it off your finger, then
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: that even word.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: Topical reference.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: That was again called to go for the ring because
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: we have about as many Greek things as we do.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: Fridge, Oh, I.
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: Have something light blue in the fridge.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Oh excellent, all right, that is the end of the round.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Good scavenging players. I loved seeing all of your items.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: It's very good. Let's look at the scores. I wish
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: we could ask Nora Efron to type the latest scores.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: That would be nice. I think if you were around today,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I think like Nora Efron typing ASMR would be a thing.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: I feel like love that mechanical keyboard.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Step four profit business.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, those scores are four rounds are on twelve points
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: and six bees. You've got some points. Now you're on
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: seven points.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, yes, points, we're getting there.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Nice. Okay. Round three coming up after these commercials, and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: if you want to keep the rom com vibe going,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: just chip some of the companies with each other. I
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: guess capitalism can be cute, can't it. Okay? Round three
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: is called Answers in the comments. It's our game where
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: we journey into one of the wors places in the
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: world digital or otherwise the YouTube comments section. In this game,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I will begin reading a genuine comment one hundred percent
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: reel left below a key scene from a romantic comedy.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: As soon as our players think they can name the
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: film and describe the scene, they must yell stop the wedding.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I'll stop reading the comments and they can make their guess.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: The less you need to hear, the more points you'll score.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: But each player can only stop the wedding wants per comment.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: If you want to take a gamble, one of you
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: can do it early and then your team still has
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: one one guess.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Just interrupt me at any point with stop the wedding.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I want to hear some stop the weddings. It's the
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: classic rum comping classic. Okay. This first YouTube comment comes
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: from user It's Wine o'clock and they had to say
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: this is weird to me. Honestly, he doesn't have the
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: right to destroy their lives like that, their hypothetical lives.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Of course this is fiction.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Ha ha.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Sure he spoke his truth, but in doing that he
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: dumped that burden onto them. I think it weird that
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: he backstabs his friend like that and she cheats on
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: her husband, especially at Christmas. This will never be romantic
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: to me and she lies opd did nope?
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: She wedding? Yeah?
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, pil Is this the Q card scene from Love
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: Actually where he plays Silent Night and kesk Kurtz Yep?
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: It is indeed for two points that is the exact scene.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I was thinking that I didn't have the courage. I'm
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: glad you did.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: I was like, I was like seventy seventy thirty and
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, whatever else, go for it? Why not?
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's often the best way with this with this round,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: to be honest, sometimes just buzzing in Ellie, especially as
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: each team has two two buzzies.
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: I'll be bold. I don't want to promise that.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: Odra Villain era.
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: I'm doing it.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Your next YouTube comment comes from user movie Pod
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: three five nine, and they had to say everyone in
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: this scene is fantastic, even Whitney, who perfectly plays the snooty,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: fake friendly sales associate, including her attempt at hiding her
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: disgusted at having to deal with people who she viewses
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: less than desirable customers, but still wanting to.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: Stop's the wedding, Yes, dra is this.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Pretty woman where she won't get sold anything in the store.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: It's not you've fallen for my track. Dang it, you're
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: frozen out, keep going but still wanting that sale. I'm
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: not usually one for potty humor, but I absolutely lost
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: it when she said sinks are gonna It's coming out
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: lava shot.
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, Neil, I believe this is Bridesmaids where Mliss McCarthy
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: is blown out the sink.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly. It's the.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: I was trying to think of a better way to
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: put it.
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: It wasn't the sock or the sperm sock, whatever we're
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: calling it.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so good.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: That entire time, I was like, is this the scene
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: in Bridesmaids where she's like arguing with that teen clerk
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: And I was like, no, that doesn't make any sense.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: I ask you something else. It was Bridesmaids. The whole time.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I had the exact same thing in my head. I
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: think that's what it is.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: And thank you for I was just kind of hoping
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: it would sound your problem. That's just that's just playing
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: into the fall Nat. It's good stuff.
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: You No, I'm just doing my part.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, This next YouTube comment comes from sarcasm much and
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: they had to say, first of all, she's cool. She
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: probably does know the cooks in the kitchen at a
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: random vegan restaurant, but what part of the movie seemed realistic?
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Yes.
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: Jair I may have played into something, but is it
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: how to lose a guy in ten Days when she's
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: in the vegan restaurant and she is trying to get
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: him to obviously lose him, but she's watching the basketball game,
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: so she runs in the back and she slams a
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: bowl or no, she says a burger, and she watches
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: the game in the back. Yeah, she has to play
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: off that she didn't see the basketball game when they
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: went home and watched it later. I could do the
• 59:17
  Speaker 6: whole movie.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: And it was such an early buzz in that's full points.
• 59:22
  Speaker 6: Hell yeah, oh my gosh, we're not.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: But the waitress he called me fat, Yes, yea.
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: Fat?
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, great stuff, great knowledge, just and it just
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: needed to hear a vegan restaurant and that's it. Oh yeah, Okay,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I've just realized I didn't actually write a fake. Use
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: the name for that one for this next one. What's
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: a fun fake?
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: Use the name for a fifty Flirts dates.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: We're gonna use that love it six at the end,
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: what require they're gonna be listening like, why did they
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: call me out? Man?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Okay? This next one comes from user fifty flirt States
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: sixty nine twenty and they had to say incredible I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: recently had a memorable encounter with him through Radiant Reservation
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: after seeing his interview on Entertainment News where he talked
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: about engaging with fans via an exclusive fan community. I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: never imagined i'd be part of it. The way the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: slow motion music happens when he walks into the restaurant
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: is just like meeting him in Rolin.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, stop the wedding.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think that this is always be my maybe
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: when Keanu Reeves, like his entrance scene when he's like
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: with them, when they're like at the table and she's like,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: this is my day.

  Speaker 1: for this audience.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: I told you, I've been listening, so I know you
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: trying to play into their hands.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: It's perfect stuff. Yeah, And I assume the person who
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: wrote this comment represents Radiant Reservation because it just reads
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: like ad Coffin. Yeah, okay, I've got one final YouTube comments.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: This comes from Loyal Sons sixty nine, and here's what
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: they had to say. There's something about this film that
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: will always make me think of my family. I saw
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: this in the theater in the summer of nineteen eighty
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: nine with my mother and my aunt. I was fifteen
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: at the time and didn't understand at the time that
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: they weren't just rolling with laughter because of Meg Ryan's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: hilarious reaction, but because they also yes, thank you for
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: stopping me reading that sentence, Neil.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna I mean eighty nine. Yeah, we're gonna go
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: with when Harry met Sally during Katz's Delicatessen, faking the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: the you know, the Pshtrami enjoyment.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's an accurate description and it's it's worth a point.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: And I didn't have to finish that comment, which is
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: because they had also faked it too. I miss you mom.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Oh and YouTube comments also.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: The eulogy Mom used to fake it and that's why.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. Yeah, let's let's leave YouTube behind. That is
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: the end of round three. Let's exchange a bouquet of
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: flowers for the latest scores, good trade. Four rounds. You
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: are on eighteen points six be's you were on eleven points.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: Hey, we broke two digits, double digits.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Baby, you did it. You did it.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: As Taylors would say, I'm here on vibes, it's about
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: I'm the personality higher here for the jokes.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: It's a podcast, shut up, more important than the rest
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: of us.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Jen, could I can I check in with your vibes?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Being the undefeated person on this podcast, how are you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: feeling right now?
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, I hadn't gotten a loss this year, so
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: I've I've won one, tied twice. I hadn't any losses,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: and honestly, like, what a what a frick and honor
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: to lose it to an expert and my best friends.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: So like, I'm fine, friends are feeling it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, lovely stuff. But look, anyone could still win. Absolutely
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: anything can happen in the quick fire around. But before
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: we get to the quick fire rounds, let's talk prizes.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: This episode. Star prize is, of course, the concept of love,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: a fine concept, probably the best humanity has to offer.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: I reckon, Yeah, yeah, probably.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: But our winning team will also receive as many candles
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: as Jen can carry from the Scavenger.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: Hunts three three.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: They're used.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Up.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Next is our crucial quick fire around, But first we
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: have to play one final set of ADS. And while
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: we're gone, remember there's still time to send them that message.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: It's not too late unless they've asked you to stop,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: and then just stop it is too late. Our final
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: quick fire around will test your broader pop culture knowledge,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: and it's called CD rom coms. Rom coms were huge
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: in the late nineties and early two thousands, but so
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: were CD ROMs back when we were all PC gamers. Yes,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: in this game, I will give our players clues to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: an iconic CD rom from pop culture history. Don't worry,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: you'll recognize more than you think I reckon, and those
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: clues will be in the style of Julia Roberts iconic
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: line in notting Hill, I'm just a girl standing in
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: front of a boy asking him to love her. There is,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: of course a classic gate leaper's twist. You need to
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: say your answer in a sort of befuddled British way,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: like how you grant would. Whatever the name of the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: classic PC game is, I would like you to deliver
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: it in your best befuddled voice.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: Well, that's not going to be hard for me.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: That's basically how answers all of them.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: There we go, I think, but a little British twang
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: on it will be be all good.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: I'll try so are we? Is this? Is this your
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: permission to do our best worst British accents? Yeah?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: What if I just say fish and chips at the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 6: end of.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: Everything, That's that's fine. I fish and chips are delicious
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: and it was in it all right the Southerner stuff.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: Come on?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is quick fire. So you you buzz in
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: by yelling out your team name? Should we practice that?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: Eight rounds?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: Four rounds?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: I'm doing the shortened version.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Nice, okay, twelve rounds the John movie.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Sorry?
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 6: I also keep thinking do we want to do number
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 6: and things like you guys, are four rounds or six bees?
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 6: Or do you want to do rounds and bees for syllables?
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Even rounds versus bees?
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: Rounds versus bees.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: I'm down east.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: It's the classic show down.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: Rownds versus bees tails? What is time?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example, just so we know we're
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: on the same page here. I'm just a girl standing
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: in front of potential suspects and motives trying to solve
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: this small town mystery.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: Oh good, I don't know, yes, Nanzi Drew gov No, yep,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: it is Nazi Drew.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, trying to go as I like to.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment on the accidents washing.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 6: I like the arms.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: It was very like Dick Van Dyke, right like.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I think that's who I was channeling in that moment.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: The shoulders, the more the cockney. You know, that's just
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: the rule apple.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: And that's why cockney people never get pneumonia because their
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: arms are always up right there.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: Their ribs are really high.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's like sixty years and that stereotype is not
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: being shaken at all. That's who English people are.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, you can interrupt me at any points. I'll start
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: the timer. Let's go. I'm just a girl standing somewhere
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: on earth.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, Chris Well, I guess I think it would most
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: likely be where in the world is common San Diego.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly good.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just a theme park owner standing in a theme park. Yes,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: roller coaster, tyco It almost sounded confident that guy, but
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to give you it.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: It's a whisper.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Next clue, I'm just a space marine standing with the
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: demons of Hell shooting.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, Chris, I think down in Hell most likely be doom.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: Is doom good for fun?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just a psychopath standing in front of a pool,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: ready to remove the ladder and kill these people with
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: diamonds heads.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, Chris, I suppose this one would be Sims.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's not to sound more English than me.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: I'm so bad at games, Audre. I apologize.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: I'm trying my best. It's good we got such a
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: good lead.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: This is actually going to be tense now because.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: I literally didn't get a single point like this entire
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: game till now here. It is.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: This is your time.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just a differences like a bath standing above an
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: urban sprawl, looking to properly place my infrastructure.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Oh why don't Yes, I'm trying to think of a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: different style of British accent to do every time.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: Well, they I think this is.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe silizations.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: It's not what I've got for this one.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: Now Essex over now, Yeah, no.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: City.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: I was looking for sim City for that one. I'm
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: just a paladin standing in front of the Horde, wondering
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: if you'll join my guild and raid with meeze. I
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: heard order first. I think I'll stick.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: With I'll stick with these because it made people laugh. Yeah,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: maybe like I never played it, but World of Warcraft
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: is World of Warcraft.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, good stuff. I'm just a dad standing behind
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: all of my extra PC plugins pretending I'm piloting an aeroplane.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: Rounds.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, Neil, what.
• 1:10:21

• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: played flight simulator.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: That was so good? Yes?
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, just Essex taking over this podcast admired me.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: So that's what we're a team. We gotta be Essex.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just sid Maya standing all of human history
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: requesting that you live through multiple generations of your family lineage.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 5: Rounds.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: Yes, okay, good, this one is it. That wasn't the
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: fuddle though, if you do want to add me for that,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: I would accept it. It was more enrage.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: It's okay. I think we lost the whole bit fuddled.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: Hugh Grant thing around about question two. Next one. I'm
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: just a player exploring an island full of mysteries, begging
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: you to leave me alone and leave me to my
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: logic puzzles get a little trickier.
• 1:11:12

• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: This is what I was gonna say.

• 1:13:30
  Speaker 5: Rounds. Yes, if you're playing them like I do, I.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Would do you.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: Playing playing.

  Speaker 4: Because I was going to just, you know, come in
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: and do a British action talking about leisure.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Shoot Larry, but I.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like based on the description, apart from
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: the magic, I would have had to give you the point.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, the only CD ROMs we were allowed to
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: play in my house was legend of a deep cut
• 1:14:01

• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: to type to like do the platforming that. Yeah, it
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: was really fun. It was an orange case.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: I play that now. That sounds sick.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: Tracy probably still has it somewhere.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: All right. Before we get to the final scores, which
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: are definitely close and I'm definitely going to build tension
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: towards them, I'd like to thank our players. Look, you've lived,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: you've left, You've left disgusting. Neil, thank you so much

• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: so much fun to get to hang out with you
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: all and play and talk about rom comms. But more
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: than that, just to be a part of a small
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: community here and you.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Know have fun.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Oh thanks, that that means it's ton Yeah, you'd been
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: an excellent player, And that might be in part because
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: you are the author of this. I get to do
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: the thing that the Jimmy's do, hold a book. Yeah
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. You are the author of this fantastic
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: rom com trivia book, which I absolutely love. I've been
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: playing along with some of it already.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: My favorite thing about it, even though you are the
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: writer and so maybe I shouldn't praise the specific part
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: is the sketches are amazing. Who did you get to
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: do the sketches?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: The publisher has a great group of artists, and this
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: artist has done actually all of their books except the
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: Christmas one I just released, but it's Mave Bargman is
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: the designer and the excuse me, Matt Edwards is also
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: the illustrator of the nice Yeah.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: There's such fantastic illustrations. I love the rom com met Yeah.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, as a as a thing, because that is
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: something I always think about, is like, this feels more
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: like a comedy than a romance. This feels way more
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: like a romance than a comedy.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you noticed that, because that was a fun thing,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: and I took a pull of everyone that I knew,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: so it's kind of like user generated group generated what
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: everyone thought and everyone voted on it. So some of
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: them maybe were a little off, but that's what everyone
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: else thought, so I thought was kind of interesting.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they felt pretty spot onto me, and that's an
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: excellent system. Yeah, it's look, we're on the roads to
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. This would be the perfect Valentine's Day gift,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I hope people play along. You can play
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: play with the book with yourself. I guess it's the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: proper way to play with yourself. And yeah, there's some
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: fun movies in there. About twenty of them were cut,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: so I'm hoping that we'll get a sequel and I
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: can include a couple movies like They Came Together was
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: one that I did write a quiz for, but it
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: was taken out of the books. Hopefully they'll be there
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: in the sequel with some other ones.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: So fingers yes, nice, nice.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll make sure Chris and Jen get a copy
• 1:17:05
