0:10
Speaker 1: the ways you'd want it to be. It's well, it's
0:13
Speaker 1: literally like playing the first RPG video game. I really
0:17
Speaker 1: played for the first time again, and it's great. And
0:22
Speaker 1: I was all ready for it to like ruin my
0:24
Speaker 1: life and like mess up my sleeping schedule, and just
0:29
Speaker 1: as you do, as you expect, as I would expect,
0:31
Speaker 1: as it was twenty years ago, you know. But I've
0:35
Speaker 1: got such healthy sleeping habits grouse that I made it
0:40
Speaker 1: to ten thirty six before I was like, all right,
0:45
Speaker 1: I'm too tired to play a game. Now, I need
0:48
Speaker 1: to wind down with something else. I was probably asleep
0:51
Speaker 1: by ten past eleven, and I got a very healthy
0:55
Speaker 1: seven hours sleep.
0:56
Speaker 2: If that's not being in your thirties, I don't know why.
0:59
Speaker 2: I know the thing of like, oh I have every intention.
1:03
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna stay up all night
1:06
Speaker 2: and play video games. Oh my gosh, it's getting really late.
1:11
Speaker 2: It's gotta be eleven thirty six.
1:16
Speaker 1: I'm not even that cool.
1:18
Speaker 2: I was giving you more credit than you were due.
1:21
Speaker 1: I should have seen the warning signs coming when it
1:24
Speaker 1: was about nine o'clock and I thought, oh, yeah, I
1:27
Speaker 1: want the energy to stay up all night. I should
1:29
Speaker 1: have some sugar. No, sugar's bad for me at this
1:32
Speaker 1: time of night. I think I'll pass you.
1:34
Speaker 2: Set yourself up for a good night's sleep.
1:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know nothing else.
1:39
Speaker 2: Now.
1:39
Speaker 1: I know how disregulated and disordered I am if I
1:42
Speaker 1: don't get good sleep, and so in order to do
1:46
Speaker 1: all the other things I want to do other than
1:49
Speaker 1: play oblivion, I still need that, and it turns out
1:52
Speaker 1: my body won't let me not get it.

6:47
Speaker 1: let's got two bags in.
6:48
Speaker 2: It's it's double bagged, double bagged. So I have a
6:52
Speaker 2: muse from Ben Robinson, and my instructions for this one
6:57
Speaker 2: is to read this in the voice of an old
7:00
Speaker 2: gold Rush era minor realizing they've just struck the mother.
7:05
Speaker 1: Lowy, thank you van excellent prompt.
7:08
Speaker 2: Oh gold and then there'll yes, oh yes, that's the voice.
7:14
Speaker 2: I'm finding it. There's a lot of shoulder in this one.
7:19
Speaker 1: You've got to imagine the shoulder movement that Or is
7:22
Speaker 1: doing right now.
7:23
Speaker 2: I have a muse for you, dra though not for
7:26
Speaker 2: a Pandemonium topic, but for a street fighter.
7:29
Speaker 1: Is that a straight fighter?
7:31
Speaker 2: Street fighter?
7:32
Speaker 1: Street fighter? Okay, my muse is.
7:34
Speaker 2: Halloween two thousand and nine, when myself, John, and two
7:38
Speaker 2: other friends dressed as Blanca, rue Ken, and Vega respectively.
7:43
Speaker 1: More whooping. I think that you just struck them of a.
7:45
Speaker 2: Little ooh gold. Going all out on a homemade Halloween
7:51
Speaker 2: costume was huge for me in that era, and coordinating
7:54
Speaker 2: with friends on a theme was a lot of fun. Unfortunately,
8:00
Speaker 2: I couldn't find a group pick of us to share.
8:02
Speaker 2: All I have is the attached picture of my daughter
8:04
Speaker 2: and me from just before the party. It became a witch.
8:10
Speaker 2: I did get a little witchy towards the end. It
8:12
Speaker 2: did get a little witchy. But thank you so much
8:15
Speaker 2: Ben for sending this in.
8:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you Ben. Let's talk about Ben's email before
8:19
Speaker 1: we analyze the prospector. Yes, I mean I love group costumes.
8:25
Speaker 1: I love when people coordinate and a bunch of friends
8:28
Speaker 1: get together and say, hey, should we be all the
8:30
Speaker 1: different characters from this thing? I think that's a blast.
8:33
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm going to have a controversial take
8:35
Speaker 1: as a person who's not particularly a cosplayer.
8:40
Speaker 2: Hit me with it.
8:40
Speaker 1: This could be a bit of an ignorant one. I
8:42
Speaker 1: don't think there's much fun in it unless you're doing
8:44
Speaker 1: it with someone else, at least one other person, like
8:47
Speaker 1: solo cosplayer. I don't get that a ton.
8:50
Speaker 2: I feel like that type of thing has to be
8:53
Speaker 2: You have to love the art of the crafting.
8:56
Speaker 1: You gotta love the crafting.
8:57
Speaker 2: You have to love the crafting because otherwise, like the
9:02
Speaker 2: community of us, we're all together and we made these
9:06
Speaker 2: costumes and we're going to be in this space of
9:08
Speaker 2: joy together is always going to trump that.
9:11
Speaker 1: It's like a fancy dress party. But you decide not
9:14
Speaker 1: to invite anyone else.
9:15
Speaker 3: Uh uh.
9:15
Speaker 2: It's only the people that you have exclusively selected that
9:18
Speaker 2: you love and cherish. So that was so fun.
9:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, a great memory and yeah, please do you send
9:25
Speaker 1: in your muses from press play episode topics? Absolutely? All right,
9:30
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the prospector.
9:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
9:35
Speaker 1: I do agree it went a bit witchy. I've got
9:37
Speaker 1: to say the physical actions in the room is what
9:39
Speaker 1: we're selling. It because you did. You had the arm
9:42
Speaker 1: and the knee was doing a thing.
9:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:44
Speaker 1: What you didn't communicate is you're also winking the entire time.
9:47
Speaker 1: You're doing that impression, just like a prospector would. Yes,
9:50
Speaker 1: I painted a tooth gold. Yeah, don't push it.
9:55
Speaker 2: My donkey's out back. What I don't know that you did?
9:58
Speaker 1: Know what a prospector is.
10:00
Speaker 3: I do.
10:02
Speaker 2: We're here in Colorado. I know what a prospector is.
10:05
Speaker 2: I've panned for gold. One of the people in this
10:08
Speaker 2: room has actually panned for gold.
10:11
Speaker 1: I've panned for gold. Come on, now, I've been to
10:13
Speaker 1: mining museums. Okay, oh yeah, sorry, I forgot the part
10:17
Speaker 1: where I was panning for gold and then an old
10:19
Speaker 1: lady came up behind me.
10:20
Speaker 2: In my Okay, I'll work on the prospector for I'll
10:27
Speaker 2: take your notes into consideration.
10:30
Speaker 1: The physicality was fantastic.
10:32
Speaker 2: And we have another muse Yes, this one sent in
10:36
Speaker 2: by Drew Shulman, Drew or James Bond. Now, Drew did
10:41
Speaker 2: not send in any directions, and you'll like, thank god,
10:45
Speaker 2: it is like a full paragraph. If you would like
10:48
Speaker 2: to give me a direction, then I would respect it.
10:51
Speaker 2: Or do you want to respect Drew's wishes.
10:52
Speaker 1: I'll respect Drew's wishes and no instructions for this.
10:56
Speaker 2: While I was shown many of the films by my
10:59
Speaker 2: dad while I was too young to really appreciate them,
11:02
Speaker 2: it did mean I never fell in love with the
11:04
Speaker 2: franchise as much as some, but have truly enjoyed Daniel
11:08
Speaker 2: Craig's Run and above all else the N sixty four
11:12
Speaker 2: Treasure Golden Eye. But my muse for this fandom is
11:16
Speaker 2: the Martini and how James Bond taught me not to
11:20
Speaker 2: order one. I won't go into too much, as a
11:25
Speaker 2: lot of bonds like order has been discussed at length
11:30
Speaker 2: in the Pandemonium episode already, but I will share my
11:32
Speaker 2: two things it taught me for when I order my
11:35
Speaker 2: own Martini.
11:36
Speaker 1: Okay, I go.
11:39
Speaker 2: Basically the opposite of him. First, gin instead of vodka,
11:44
Speaker 2: and I like my vermouth sweet not dry. I also
11:48
Speaker 2: prefer mixed as opposed to shaken, as it introduces much
11:52
Speaker 2: less water to the drink and minimizes the dilution of
11:55
Speaker 2: the spirits.
11:56
Speaker 1: Nice. Okay, Yeah, the complete opposite of a Bond order,
12:00
Speaker 1: but it sounds much more delicious.
12:02
Speaker 2: It does sound pretty good.
12:04
Speaker 1: I was thinking when Drew said opposite. I was going
12:07
Speaker 1: direct opposites to everything, so I was like, instead of shaken,
12:11
Speaker 1: I forgot that it was not stirred and just thought
12:13
Speaker 1: what still then just completely still.
12:15
Speaker 2: Don't move it at all, no ice, no nothing, but
12:17
Speaker 2: you cannot move, don't even pour it still, as though
12:22
Speaker 2: that's what still drinks are.
12:24
Speaker 1: But I do love gin, yes much preferred gin to
12:28
Speaker 1: vodka as a flavor.
12:29
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. And I have tried driver mooth. I don't
12:33
Speaker 2: think I've tried sweet vermouth.
12:34
Speaker 1: See again, I thought wet for mooth is what was
12:37
Speaker 1: going to be. M It's like, oh, that's not what
12:39
Speaker 1: it is, though.
12:40
Speaker 2: Ol vermouth is inherently wet.
12:44
Speaker 1: I don't know liquids. That's what we're learning m M.
12:46
Speaker 2: I'll learn prospectors if you learn liquids.
12:49
Speaker 1: Okay, deal, one of those things comes up way more
12:52
Speaker 1: in life prospectors. But thank you Drew for sending that in.
12:58
Speaker 1: I would like to say thank you to our cast
13:01
Speaker 1: for sending in emails to this bonus round segment. If
13:05
Speaker 1: anyone has been off put by the fact that we
13:08
Speaker 1: always read surnames when reading out the emails, and that's
13:11
Speaker 1: maybe why you've not emailed into gate Leapers at gmail
13:14
Speaker 1: dot com with your muses. We're only doing that for
13:17
Speaker 1: our cast to shout them out. We will not dox you,
13:22
Speaker 1: We will not blow you up. We could just do initials.
13:25
Speaker 1: Uh huh, we could do first names only. You could
13:28
Speaker 1: give me a fake name. You could be you could
13:31
Speaker 1: be Natasha.
13:32
Speaker 2: Fake name.
13:32
Speaker 1: You could be Natasha fake name, the obvious Russian spy.
13:36
Speaker 2: James Bond's gonna order her a drink. Well, we have
13:43
Speaker 2: had some incredible Pandemonium episodes this month.
13:46
Speaker 1: It was April was a blast.
13:48
Speaker 2: April was a blast. We had a Firefly episode. We
13:52
Speaker 2: had an SNL episode. What have you got for us?
13:55
Speaker 2: On the Lilypad of irrelevancy?
13:57
Speaker 1: Yes, come float across the pond, past the water boatmen,
14:02
Speaker 1: past all the pond scum that has gathered at the
14:05
Speaker 1: side because there's very little funding for environmental upkeep, and
14:10
Speaker 1: float to the center of the lake where you will
14:13
Speaker 1: find the Lilipad of irrelevancy. Is that a faf Oh
14:18
Speaker 1: there we go. Okay, there's the frogs. Yeah, this was
14:20
Speaker 1: bubbles bursting nice lovely. We're amongst the frogs. Okay, let's
14:30
Speaker 1: talk Firefly first, and with Firefly, the main thing that
14:34
Speaker 1: I think about with Firefly is that it's kind of
14:37
Speaker 1: this infamous show that was canceled after one season, And
14:41
Speaker 1: that was really the only thing I could think about
14:43
Speaker 1: during the writing of this was all my favorite shows
14:46
Speaker 1: that were canceled after one season, as well as the
14:48
Speaker 1: idea that that doesn't really happen as much anymore. We
14:53
Speaker 1: don't get as many things that go for like seven,
14:55
Speaker 1: eight nine seasons either. We just got a lot of
14:57
Speaker 1: things that kind of run two, three, four, m M.
15:01
Speaker 1: But now when something is intended to run for a season,
15:04
Speaker 1: they call it like a limited series, yes, or something
15:07
Speaker 1: like that.
15:07
Speaker 2: They know it ahead of time exactly, and they tell.
15:10
Speaker 1: Us so very few things. But I want to just
15:14
Speaker 1: talk about some of my favorite, let's say, top three
15:18
Speaker 1: favorite shows that were canceled after one season.
15:22
Speaker 2: Ooh, lay it on me, because I'm trying to think
15:25
Speaker 2: of other ones. But Firefly does have like feels like
15:27
Speaker 2: it has the corner on the market.
15:29
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right. Firefly is probably the main one other
15:35
Speaker 1: than perhaps this first one that I think is it's
15:37
Speaker 1: a travesty that it only lasted one season, And I
15:40
Speaker 1: think a lot of people will be thinking this show
15:42
Speaker 1: right now Freaks and Geeks.
15:45
Speaker 2: Oh, Freaks and Geeks.
15:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pole Fig and jud Apato. Like, I don't
15:50
Speaker 1: even want to say sitcom, even though it had a
15:51
Speaker 1: lot of traditional sitcom beats. I want to say comedy drama.
15:56
Speaker 2: That show was so incredibly good, but I feel like
16:01
Speaker 2: it was just wrong time.
16:03
Speaker 1: Given that a lot of modern TV shows, especially in
16:06
Speaker 1: like the twenty tens kind of onwards, have the sort
16:10
Speaker 1: of blend of comedy drama that Freaks and Geeks went for,
16:14
Speaker 1: where it's not just sort of a traditional family sitcom. Yes,
16:17
Speaker 1: it follows a family, it follows their friend groups at school,
16:21
Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the beats of a traditional sitcom
16:24
Speaker 1: quite so much. And what a crazy cast as well,
16:29
Speaker 1: like Seth Rogan, Jason Siegel, James Franco, Busy Phillips, John Francis,
16:33
Speaker 1: Day Martin, Stars, Sam Levine, Linda Cardalini.
16:36
Speaker 2: Such a phenomenal cast of people who as youths, like
16:41
Speaker 2: because it's the kids mostly of this high school. Yeah,
16:44
Speaker 2: oh so much talent, a.
16:46
Speaker 1: Lot of people who've gone on to do a lot
16:48
Speaker 1: of things, James Franco or someone who's gone on to
16:51
Speaker 1: do too much. Yeah, it was just this perfect blend
16:56
Speaker 1: of a lot of sitcoms at the time were either
16:58
Speaker 1: about groups of friends or the family, but very few
17:01
Speaker 1: were about both outside of like cartoons and stuff. So
17:05
Speaker 1: to see that played out on screen is great and
17:07
Speaker 1: it clearly inspired a lot of future comedy shows.
17:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like if Freaks and Geeks were made now,
17:15
Speaker 2: there's no way it's getting canceled after one season. No,
17:18
Speaker 2: we have such an understanding of that as a thing
17:22
Speaker 2: that we want to be consuming. Yeah, it just couldn't
17:26
Speaker 2: survive in the era of Cribs.
17:30
Speaker 1: No, No, it couldn't. Yeah, the people were enjoying Cribs
17:35
Speaker 1: too much. That's the problem. Cribs was too good.
17:37
Speaker 2: It was too good. They wanted to see cool people
17:41
Speaker 2: and they're cool houses and pretend that they could also
17:43
Speaker 2: be cool people with cool houses. They didn't want to
17:46
Speaker 2: see no freaks or Geeks.
17:49
Speaker 1: Look, pretty much everyone who we've named, including jud Apatow
17:52
Speaker 1: and Paul Feek, have gone on to like shape the
17:54
Speaker 1: comedy industry. So even though it only ran for a season,
17:58
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone involved has gone on to be a
18:01
Speaker 1: huge part of the language of American comedy and Canadian comedy.
18:06
Speaker 1: There's Canadians involved. We see you seth all right, this
18:11
Speaker 1: next one is probably like a guilty pleasure personal favorite.
18:15
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't like a perfect show, but I
18:17
Speaker 1: was just the right age at the right time that
18:19
Speaker 1: it was a disappointment that I got canceled. Do you
18:22
Speaker 1: remember a show called Studio or sixty on the Sunset Strip?
18:25
Speaker 2: I only remember it because you mentioned it regularly fantastic.
18:30
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how regularly I mention it. Maybe once
18:33
Speaker 1: a year.
18:34
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say once a year. Okay, that's fine.
18:36
Speaker 1: I can deal with that. I don't bring it up
18:38
Speaker 1: at breakfast every morning.
18:40
Speaker 2: Not every morning.
18:42
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:42
Speaker 1: This is a lesser known Aaron Sorkin series. It came
18:46
Speaker 1: after The West Wing, but before The Newsroom, which both
18:50
Speaker 1: ran for multiple seasons. And West Wing huge influential hit
18:53
Speaker 1: on television and politics, but it got canceled after one season.
18:58
Speaker 1: And it was essentially a more mattic thirty Rock Like
19:01
Speaker 1: it was the same premise. It was a show about
19:04
Speaker 1: making a Saturday night comedy live late night show.
19:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, because thirty Rock, I see why, Like that is
19:13
Speaker 2: a good idea for a show.
19:15
Speaker 1: But if someone's taking the more comedic angle and sitcoms
19:20
Speaker 1: are famously much cheaper to produce than dramas. NBC might
19:24
Speaker 1: have felt like they only needed one of these on
19:26
Speaker 1: their portfolio.
19:27
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
19:29
Speaker 1: But it's a shame because it was also good thirty
19:32
Speaker 1: Rock amazing, Studio sixty good to great, but could have
19:36
Speaker 1: been amazing if it could have ran for another couple
19:38
Speaker 1: of seasons to find its its legs a little bit.
19:41
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, because Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford, who were
19:44
Speaker 1: the leads, were both great as like, yeah, jaded middle
19:48
Speaker 1: aged dudes. Yeah, and I'd have liked to have seen
19:50
Speaker 1: where it went. And plus it's Aaron Sorkin, so it
19:52
Speaker 1: was just witty as hell, and I'd love TV shows
19:55
Speaker 1: with like consistently witty dialogue. I don't like my suspension
20:00
Speaker 1: of disbelief and shows like that and Succession is that
20:03
Speaker 1: I don't mind suspending the disbelief that everyone's witty, Like,
20:07
Speaker 1: all characters have great comebacks, all characters are quick with
20:10
Speaker 1: their conversation. Yeah, and when you said it, in like
20:14
Speaker 1: a setting where it's like writers or politicians or businessmen,
20:18
Speaker 1: it sort of makes sense that people would be talking
20:20
Speaker 1: all the time, so they would develop and horn a wit.
20:24
Speaker 2: Which absolutely makes sense. And I do get the thing
20:27
Speaker 2: of thirty Rock going sillier because it's it's basically about
20:33
Speaker 2: making SNL. You're making a weekly topical comedy sketch show,
20:41
Speaker 2: let's go. But I do think there is an angle
20:44
Speaker 2: if it would have gotten more time, the idea if
20:47
Speaker 2: it has that Aaron Sorkin dialogue. I do love the
20:50
Speaker 2: idea of the writers being a lot smarter than the
20:54
Speaker 2: things they're writing. Yes, like that's a cool take.
20:58
Speaker 1: I think there was a bit of that we're.
21:00
Speaker 2: Really witty, let's throw in three fart jokes though uh huh, yeah,
21:04
Speaker 2: this demographic's gonna want a fart joke, let's go.
21:07
Speaker 1: Exactly, And that's what it could get into more than
21:10
Speaker 1: say thirty Brock could, which is a brilliant sitcom, one
21:13
Speaker 1: of the best of all time, but Studio sixty on
21:15
Speaker 1: the Sunset strip. Don't check it out because I don't
21:19
Speaker 1: know how well it's aged. And finally, this is like
21:23
Speaker 1: a cult classic I was gonna say in the UK,
21:26
Speaker 1: but honestly around the world, because I think Paul Rudd
21:29
Speaker 1: is a big evangelist for it and kind of mentions
21:32
Speaker 1: it in interviews when he's asked for a recommendation or
21:35
Speaker 1: an influence or something like that. But Garth Marengi's Dark Place,
21:40
Speaker 1: Oh Yes, is a sitcom that's kind of a spoof
21:44
Speaker 1: of a badly made eighties sci fi fantasy.
21:49
Speaker 2: Drama set in a hospital set in a.
21:51
Speaker 1: Hospital, with interviews with the cast and crew from twenty
21:57
Speaker 1: years later of like having made this show. It was
22:01
Speaker 1: created by Matthew Holness and Richard Iowadi and also features
22:05
Speaker 1: Alice Lowe and Matt Berry on the cast as well
22:07
Speaker 1: as them and it was Matt Berry's first like on
22:10
Speaker 1: screen acting role.
22:13
Speaker 2: What a Little Matt Baby.
22:15
Speaker 1: Yes. So if you've enjoyed Matt Berry on what we
22:18
Speaker 1: Do in the Shadows and a bunch of other things
22:20
Speaker 1: that he's popped up in the last five years, I
22:23
Speaker 1: believe Dark Morengi. I believe Dark Morange's Garth Place. I
22:28
Speaker 1: believe Garth Mrangey's Dark Place is on Peacock. I think
22:33
Speaker 1: like it's only six episodes and then you can say
22:36
Speaker 1: you've watched a cult British TV series that Paul Rudd likes.
22:40
Speaker 2: And also I like, Yes, depending on whose opinion you.
22:45
Speaker 1: Value more, and I know whose opinion I value the most.
22:50
Speaker 1: The prospectors.
22:53
Speaker 2: Oh watch Garth Marenghi's dark. That's a different voice altogether.
22:57
Speaker 1: I liked how piracy that was.
22:59
Speaker 2: Yeah me hearty.
23:01
Speaker 1: A fantastic virate. So those are my top three top
23:04
Speaker 1: three shows canceled after one season, along with Firefly. Of course,
23:08
Speaker 1: what are your favorite shows that were canceled after one season?
23:11
Speaker 1: Let us know gateleapers at gmail dot com.
23:14
Speaker 2: I have one to throw in the mix. Oh yes, Aordrew,
23:16
Speaker 2: go ahead, and I think I win. It's not a competition,
23:20
Speaker 2: but I think I win.
23:21
Speaker 1: Okay.
23:22
Speaker 2: I had a group of friends who we loved fandom
23:25
Speaker 2: things and we were like, Okay, we're going to find
23:27
Speaker 2: a show that started and we're going to watch it
23:29
Speaker 2: from episode one and it's going to be our show
23:32
Speaker 2: as a friend group. This was the show Do No Harm.
23:38
Speaker 2: It was a Jackal and Hide, like it was gonna
23:42
Speaker 2: be like, it's not a good premise, but a Jackal
23:45
Speaker 2: and Hide. But he's a psychiatrist I don't know, or
23:49
Speaker 2: a doctor of some kind, like a surgeon, some medical thing,
23:52
Speaker 2: but like when he goes to sleep, he wakes up
23:55
Speaker 2: as a different person, right type of thing. This show
23:59
Speaker 2: we watched the first episode were like, not great but
24:02
Speaker 2: we're in it. You went back the next week to
24:05
Speaker 2: watch it and it wasn't on at the advertised time.
24:08
Speaker 1: Oh, canceled after one episode.
24:10
Speaker 2: It was so bad and it was so poorly reviewed,
24:14
Speaker 2: and it was the viewing figures were so terrible that
24:19
Speaker 2: it was canceled after one episode. Brilliant They decided they
24:24
Speaker 2: would rather have a rerun of something else shitty cribes
24:29
Speaker 2: probably probably cribs than air this show on television. It
24:35
Speaker 2: was not good enough to see the light of day
24:37
Speaker 2: wow at a shitty timeslot on cable TV.
24:41
Speaker 1: Talk about back in the wrong holes? Oh yeah, do
24:44
Speaker 1: you know harm?
24:45
Speaker 2: It did a lot of harm to whatever network produced it.
24:52
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a fantastic example. And if you have an
24:55
Speaker 1: example of something that ran even for just one episode,
25:00
Speaker 1: gateleapers at gmail dot com, we'd love to hear it.
25:05
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk SNL. Not the fake ones in
25:08
Speaker 1: thirty rockets Studio sixty on the Sunset Strip, but the
25:11
Speaker 1: real one.
25:11
Speaker 2: The real ones, the real ones you can go and
25:14
Speaker 2: watch today.
25:15
Speaker 1: So something that comes up a lot with SNL is
25:19
Speaker 1: the eras like what was your era of SNL? And
25:23
Speaker 1: in the episode itself of Pandemonium that we did. There
25:27
Speaker 1: wasn't really time to get into like almost like the
25:29
Speaker 1: history of SNL, right, like the entire what it looks
25:32
Speaker 1: like in terms of who was where on what date.
25:35
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's interesting to anyone, but
25:37
Speaker 1: that's why it's called the lily Pad of irrelevancy. And
25:40
Speaker 1: it's timelines are interesting to me. I love a timeline.
25:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't really get into the history because there's
25:46
Speaker 2: tons of people on the cast now, but it's been
25:48
Speaker 2: going for fifty years. Fifty years, so there is a
25:53
Speaker 2: massive amount of history there.
25:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm going to try and condense it as
25:58
Speaker 1: fast as I can over the next five ten minutes.
26:01
Speaker 2: Thank you.
26:02
Speaker 1: So I've split it into eras and this was helped
26:04
Speaker 1: with a very popular reddit post on the Saturday Night
26:07
Speaker 1: Live subreddit where someone had a huge detailed spreadsheet of
26:11
Speaker 1: the timeline of everything split into sub eras. But we're
26:15
Speaker 1: just going to talk about the big hitters. But thank
26:18
Speaker 1: you to that document. I'm not crediting it, well, but
26:21
Speaker 1: there we go. That's reredit It's all anonymous. So the
26:25
Speaker 1: first era, when it begins in nineteen seventy five, is
26:28
Speaker 1: called the Golden Era, and this lasts from seventy five
26:31
Speaker 1: to seventy nine and features your Dan Akroyd's your John
26:34
Speaker 1: Belushi's your Chevy Chases, your Bill Murray's your Al Frankens.
26:38
Speaker 1: It's the exciting birth of an alternative comedy movement, the
26:42
Speaker 1: counterculture to the established order of late night shows. Also
26:47
Speaker 1: there's cocaine.
26:48
Speaker 2: Ooh, any era with cocaine is going to name itself
26:52
Speaker 2: the Golden Era.
26:53
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then next up there is the lawnless era from
26:58
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty to nineteen eighty four. They've had their cool
27:02
Speaker 1: counterculture part of the era. Now, Lorne Michaels is like
27:06
Speaker 1: burnt out from doing it, doesn't really see it as
27:09
Speaker 1: this anymore, as it wasn't yet an institution. It was
27:12
Speaker 1: just a profitable TV show. To put it in our terms,
27:16
Speaker 1: this is like if Alex Horn quit task Master after
27:19
Speaker 1: the Ed Gamble and Rose Matta Fao season, but then
27:23
Speaker 1: was just about to return this upcoming season with Jason Mansukiss.
27:28
Speaker 2: It wouldn't have made it. Yeah right, oh, we wouldn't
27:31
Speaker 2: even be here.
27:33
Speaker 1: But this season features Julie Louis Dreyfus, Jim Belushi, the
27:38
Speaker 1: Other Blueeshi, and Eddie Murphy is pretty much the star
27:42
Speaker 1: of this era. It's like the Eddie Murphy program, the
27:44
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy project to launch him as a film star.
27:48
Speaker 2: It worked.
27:49
Speaker 1: It worked. Then in nineteen eighty five with a brand
27:54
Speaker 1: new cast and Lorne Michaels is back in charge because
27:58
Speaker 1: he's left SNL. He's realized that actually, I would prefer
28:02
Speaker 1: to be to build a thing that is it becomes
28:04
Speaker 1: an institution. I don't want to be the counterculture. I
28:07
Speaker 1: am the institution. And he takes back the reins and
28:11
Speaker 1: has an initial cast that includes Robert Downey Jr. Anthony
28:14
Speaker 1: Michael Hole, John Cusack, and after a year he fires
28:18
Speaker 1: everyone except John Lovetz.
28:21
Speaker 2: Got a little bit of a crisis.
28:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of brought in like comedy, a lot
28:26
Speaker 1: more comedy actors than like the writer's turned actors. Yeah,
28:32
Speaker 1: but it's immediately corrected by bringing in mainstays like Dana Carvey,
28:36
Speaker 1: Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, people with a writing
28:40
Speaker 1: background as well.
28:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you're working on this tight schedule, that
28:45
Speaker 2: is so important to have people who know how to
28:48
Speaker 2: transition those both. Yeah, he knows what he's talking about.
28:51
Speaker 1: Eventually, eventually, and that is what's known as the Silver
28:56
Speaker 1: era pretty much the decade from eighty five to ninety
28:59
Speaker 1: four and what comes after silver bron Bronze, Bronze. The
29:04
Speaker 1: year I was born, I killed SNW Yes, the Bronze
29:09
Speaker 1: era again last another decade goes to like two thousand
29:12
Speaker 1: and four. This is like the era of like growing
29:16
Speaker 1: like growing up and seeing clips from SNL. This is
29:19
Speaker 1: what my first understanding of SNL was. And it became
29:23
Speaker 1: less of a boys club during this time, which is
29:25
Speaker 1: the main positive. You got people like Molly Shannon, Tina Fey,
29:28
Speaker 1: Amy Poehler, Mayor Rudolph joining the cast during this time
29:33
Speaker 1: and Keenan Thompson joins in two thousand and three. It
29:36
Speaker 1: should be noted this era is known for like some hits,
29:39
Speaker 1: but generally like stagnating a little after the millennium like
29:43
Speaker 1: kind of two thousand and one to two thousand and
29:45
Speaker 1: four were not considered good years for SNL.
29:47
Speaker 2: Keetch comedy in general was less fashionable.
29:51
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think sketch comedy in the UK
29:54
Speaker 1: was like doing a boom at that time. I just
29:57
Speaker 1: I don't think SNL was clicking with millennials too much.
30:01
Speaker 1: I think they hadn't figured out how to grab the
30:04
Speaker 1: next generation. But they did in two thousand and five.
30:07
Speaker 1: When YouTube happens YouTube, Yeah, this is what's known as
30:11
Speaker 1: the renaissance. From two thousand and five to twenty eleven,
30:14
Speaker 1: YouTube boosts their viewing figures. Obviously got the Lonely Islander
30:18
Speaker 1: kind of championing that with Andy Samberg, but you also
30:22
Speaker 1: get very viral sketches with like Kristen Wigg, Jason Sedeikis,
30:26
Speaker 1: Bill Hayder, people like that, and web two point alway
30:29
Speaker 1: is in full swing at this point, so people are
30:31
Speaker 1: sharing clips of things. People are like, oh, check out
30:34
Speaker 1: the latest SNL sketch.
30:36
Speaker 2: It's way less of a commitment to watch one sketch, yes,
30:41
Speaker 2: at any time you want to, than to set aside
30:45
Speaker 2: Saturday night in its entirety exactly.
30:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, different ways to consume it helps give it a
30:51
Speaker 1: boost in popularity. But from twenty twelve to twenty twenty,
30:54
Speaker 1: it's the post renaissance, as it's called, because ratings take
30:58
Speaker 1: a dive again, a lot of the cast leaves. Obama
31:02
Speaker 1: did nothing in his second term, and America was in
31:04
Speaker 1: this like malaise generally speaking, between twenty twelve and twenty sixteen,
31:09
Speaker 1: which is why we saw the rise of fascism. Sorry, comedymedy,
31:14
Speaker 1: the first Trump term is awful for comedy. That they're
31:17
Speaker 1: in power now and they're more normalized, so we can
31:20
Speaker 1: kind of poke fun in a way that makes sense
31:22
Speaker 1: again because far right politics has once again been normalized
31:26
Speaker 1: in society. But between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, it
31:29
Speaker 1: was still kind of a surprise, and it was like,
31:30
Speaker 1: how do you counter stupidity?
31:32
Speaker 2: Uh huh? How do you make something funnier that someone
31:36
Speaker 2: who doesn't know what they're doing?
31:38
Speaker 1: Exactly? Like, how do you satirize something that is a
31:40
Speaker 1: satire of a movement from the nineteen thirties.
31:44
Speaker 2: One of the funniest universal things is Oops, someone fell down. Yeah,
31:50
Speaker 2: but like they're fine, Like they fell down, It was funny,
31:53
Speaker 2: but they're fine.
31:54
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
31:56
Speaker 2: These people are falling down and America's not. How is
32:00
Speaker 2: this jokes?
32:01
Speaker 3: Yeah?
32:02
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. And also, like Lawn Michael's helped to normalize
32:06
Speaker 1: the concept of Donald Trump when he hosted in twenty
32:09
Speaker 1: fifteen when he was on the campaign trail to become
32:12
Speaker 1: Republican nominee. Normalization in the media was a very real
32:16
Speaker 1: thing that had to happen for Donald Trump because obviously
32:19
Speaker 1: we know he was a failed businessman who went bankrupt
32:21
Speaker 1: I think fifteen times or something and just never had
32:26
Speaker 1: any success in the business world, but needed the perception
32:29
Speaker 1: that he was successful. So in order to do that,
32:32
Speaker 1: he needed lots of TV appearances in the twenty tens
32:34
Speaker 1: for it to land that I am a businessman, remember.
32:38
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm famous for exactly, not for anything else.
32:42
Speaker 1: So to accept his reality as a false one normalized
32:46
Speaker 1: the idea that he's a good businessman. But obviously we're
32:49
Speaker 1: seeing from the economy right now, we know that's not true. Also,
32:53
Speaker 1: the main thing that sucked about this, other than it
32:54
Speaker 1: being the Trump era, is Colin Jost is also there.
32:58
Speaker 1: I yeah, don't get and Josh don't know what it is.
33:01
Speaker 1: But SCA hope you're having a good time.
33:03
Speaker 2: I hope you're having a great, lovely joy astime.
33:06
Speaker 1: Which leads us to now the post zoom slash current
33:10
Speaker 1: era from twenty twenty one to present. Being back in
33:13
Speaker 1: the studio after the pandemic, there's renewed digital success because
33:17
Speaker 1: short form videos are our things, so sketches can get
33:19
Speaker 1: even snappier, shorter, quicker, clips. It doesn't have to be
33:23
Speaker 1: a full five minute sketch that's funny. It can just
33:25
Speaker 1: be a weird thirty second thing that goes viral on TikTok.
33:29
Speaker 1: So it's considered a more successful era now than sort
33:31
Speaker 1: of the twenty the bulk of the twenty tens, and
33:34
Speaker 1: also Keenan Thompson is still there, so they go. And
33:37
Speaker 1: even though SNL now is like it's a product of
33:40
Speaker 1: its time, it's an institution that helps launch careers. Is
33:44
Speaker 1: it really for the audience anymore? Who can say? But
33:48
Speaker 1: thankfully it doesn't always have to come from the same source.
33:50
Speaker 1: Like I very much think that dropout functions the way
33:54
Speaker 1: that SNL used to in the seventies and eighties, where
33:56
Speaker 1: it's a platform for comedy writers and performers to cut
33:59
Speaker 1: their tea before potentially moving on to something else or
34:03
Speaker 1: growing a bigger aspect of whatever their form of entertainment is.
34:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, And a similar thing that I said earlier of
34:12
Speaker 2: having a writer and performer having that type of idea
34:16
Speaker 2: of like we're making this comedy, I am the person
34:19
Speaker 2: who can think of how to write it and how
34:21
Speaker 2: to perform it is also a big dropout element. Yeah,
34:25
Speaker 2: writer performer hybrids or people who started as writers moving
34:28
Speaker 2: into that performance space exactly.
34:30
Speaker 1: So, even if the future of SNL isn't great, I
34:33
Speaker 1: think the future of comedy in America is so it's fine.
34:37
Speaker 2: I love it.
34:38
Speaker 1: Yes, now, please leave the center of the pond, path
34:41
Speaker 1: through the mists back to the shoreline, where you will
34:44
Speaker 1: once more find safety.
34:46
Speaker 2: Don't mind the alligators. We've released them for no reason
34:50
Speaker 2: and they're hungry. That was so incredibly informative. Let's test
34:57
Speaker 2: some of our knowledge in a segment we call very
35:01
Speaker 2: descriptively Matt versus Odra. Watch out for my villain Era.
35:06
Speaker 1: Don't mess with the games Mast Captain, power up. I'm
35:10
Speaker 1: going to score all the points.
35:12
Speaker 2: Passing knowledge was enough.
35:14
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to your doom.
35:17
Speaker 2: I just hope we have a lot of fun.
35:19
Speaker 1: And ignore this sentence. If you're a goddamn liser, you're
35:23
Speaker 1: going down.
35:25
Speaker 2: I want to fight. It's time for another round of
35:32
Speaker 2: Matt versus Odra. Yes, and we could not do it
35:36
Speaker 2: without the incredible Aaron Randolph of bfytw what have you
35:40
Speaker 2: got for us today?
35:42
Speaker 3: Hey guys, we're gonna have some fun with one of
35:44
Speaker 3: my favorite games ever. I am just firmly of the
35:48
Speaker 3: belief that the British know how to do game shows
35:51
Speaker 3: like Nobody's Business, and one of my favorites of all
35:54
Speaker 3: time is The Chase. And we've already done this show
35:58
Speaker 3: once on my podcast bfy tw, but I haven't actually
36:03
Speaker 3: gotten to do it with a real British person. So
36:05
Speaker 3: I thought, what the hell, let's make this happen and
36:09
Speaker 3: better Yet, Matt, you are currently going through in this
36:15
Speaker 3: Matt versus Oudra series what I would refer to as
36:18
Speaker 3: a drubbing. Yeah.
36:20
Speaker 1: I think I've heard some of the journalists using that
36:23
Speaker 1: exact words, and I think it's fair. It's a fair analysis.
36:27
Speaker 1: I need to step up my game pretty massively to.
36:31
Speaker 3: Be fair to you. One of those wins on Audre's
36:34
Speaker 3: Behalf was my choice to be fair, to be fair
36:37
Speaker 3: to the Odra. The other two weren't.
36:39
Speaker 2: Okay, you could take away one of them.
36:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not taking away. I'm not taking away anything.
36:47
Speaker 3: But in this case, I think it's only fair because
36:49
Speaker 3: you're on the back foot, Matt, that you should be
36:51
Speaker 3: our player and Odra is going to be our chaser.
36:56
Speaker 1: I think that's very fair, all right.
36:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, important, dang it?
37:01
Speaker 1: Right?
37:02
Speaker 3: So we're going to play a my own modified version.
37:05
Speaker 3: We'll call it Hot Pursuit. Why not. We're going to
37:10
Speaker 3: do an individual chase just like the show. You're going
37:12
Speaker 3: to start off on the table with an offer, and
37:15
Speaker 3: then Audrey will make you high or low offers and
37:18
Speaker 3: you can choose where you want to start on the
37:20
Speaker 3: board to try and get whatever advantage you think you
37:23
Speaker 3: can get for the final chase. So what we're playing
37:26
Speaker 3: for here determines how well you start in the final chase.
37:30
Speaker 3: And then we will do a modified final chase where
37:32
Speaker 3: instead of quick fire questions against a two minute clock,
37:36
Speaker 3: each of you are going to get twenty questions based
37:40
Speaker 3: on your score when you finish determines you know how
37:43
Speaker 3: well you do, and then Audrey will have a chance
37:45
Speaker 3: to try and catch you. Okay, if she does, then
37:49
Speaker 3: she wins yet again. If you win, you will have
37:53
Speaker 3: taken your first step in a comeback of sorts.
37:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I need to make this first step now
37:59
Speaker 1: so that a second, the third step can be taking.
38:02
Speaker 3: All right, Matt, it's time for your individual chase. But
38:05
Speaker 3: who are you going to be playing against today? Is
38:08
Speaker 3: it going to be the rad scientist Odra Stevenson yes,
38:14
Speaker 3: I love it rad for radical rather than radiation least,
38:18
Speaker 3: I hope. Why about let's say, ah, and who else?
38:22
Speaker 3: Could it be?
38:23
Speaker 2: No?
38:23
Speaker 3: One? Because that's the only chaser we have, So let's
38:27
Speaker 3: just bring on the chaser here. She is the rad
38:30
Speaker 3: scientist herself, the queen of working in stem Odra Stevenson terrifying.
38:38
Speaker 2: It is. I ready to roll?
38:41
Speaker 3: All right. We're gonna start with the standard two step
38:45
Speaker 3: bonus in the final chase that will be five steps
38:48
Speaker 3: from home and three steps away from the chaser. But
38:52
Speaker 3: if you'd like to make this slightly easier on yourself
38:55
Speaker 3: and take a step closer to home, be four steps
38:57
Speaker 3: away from home and four steps ahead of the chaser,
39:00
Speaker 3: Audre will offer you one step. Yes.
39:04
Speaker 2: Nice.
39:06
Speaker 3: If, however, you'd like to make it harder on yourself,
39:10
Speaker 3: but try and get a greater advantage. In the final chase,
39:13
Speaker 3: Audrew will offer you three steps. Just bear in mind
39:18
Speaker 3: if Audre catches you in this individual chase, you get
39:22
Speaker 3: zero steps.
39:24
Speaker 1: Ah that's a problem.
39:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt, what would you like to do?
39:28
Speaker 1: I think initially we're gonna go in the middle and
39:31
Speaker 1: we're gonna say two steps.
39:32
Speaker 3: We're going to two steps. It is all right, we'll
39:35
Speaker 3: see how that goes. For two steps, Matt. The chase
39:40
Speaker 3: is on our first question. Who is the subject of
39:44
Speaker 3: Robert Bolt's play A Man for All Seasons? Is it
39:49
Speaker 3: Ace or Thomas Moore? Be Thomas Hardy or see Thomas A. Beckett. Oh,
39:57
Speaker 3: I got your answers right after one, right after another. Matt,
40:00
Speaker 3: you put Thomas Hardy? Any particular reason you went with that?
40:05
Speaker 1: It was kind of a process of elimination of the
40:08
Speaker 1: others more. I genuinely don't know the answer.
40:11
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's see. The correct answer is a
40:17
Speaker 3: Sir Thomas Moore. So this might be a bad start.
40:20
Speaker 3: If Audra got this right, she's gonna take a step
40:23
Speaker 3: on the table, be two steps behind you. Audra has
40:26
Speaker 3: put see Thomas A. Beckett. Neither one of you got
40:33
Speaker 3: that right, So you're just stay in put right where
40:35
Speaker 3: you are.
40:35
Speaker 1: Okay, it's just a warm up.
40:36
Speaker 3: It's a warm up. It's all it is.
40:39
Speaker 2: It's like it never even happened.
40:41
Speaker 3: Like it never happened.
40:42
Speaker 1: This doesn't happen on the ITV show too often.
40:45
Speaker 2: They cut it out when it does.
40:47
Speaker 3: But it does happen. I've seen it. Here is your
40:50
Speaker 3: next question. Both of you. In the novel Animal Farm,
40:54
Speaker 3: mister Jones is said to represent who Joseph Stalin, Nicholas
41:00
Speaker 3: the Second, or Vladimir Lenin. Once again, your answers came
41:05
Speaker 3: pretty close to each other. Matt, you have put Zar
41:09
Speaker 3: Nicholas the second.
41:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like he'd be like the whole power
41:14
Speaker 1: structure at the top of it, whereas the animals represent
41:17
Speaker 1: like Lenin and Stalin.
41:18
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's see the correct answer is Zar Nicholas
41:24
Speaker 3: the second. You come a step closer to home, Audra
41:27
Speaker 3: has put goes wrong with Joseph Stalin and stays off
41:32
Speaker 3: the table.
41:35
Speaker 1: This is good. These are steps. These are the steps
41:36
Speaker 1: we need.
41:37
Speaker 3: It's an advantage. She's now four steps behind you, so
41:41
Speaker 3: you've got four steps to catch him. Uh, and Matt
41:44
Speaker 3: has four steps left to get home. Here is your
41:46
Speaker 3: next question. What part of the body rotates at the
41:50
Speaker 3: carpo metacarpal joint. Is it a the thumb, be the
41:54
Speaker 3: elbow or see the shoulder? All right, Matt, you have
42:01
Speaker 3: put see the shoulder.
42:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:04
Speaker 1: I genuinely don't know, and I feel like Audrew does
42:07
Speaker 1: know this one. But I just want with shoulder because
42:10
Speaker 1: it felt right at the time.
42:12
Speaker 3: All right, we'll see the correct answer is a the thumb.
42:17
Speaker 3: If Audre's got this right, she goes back to three
42:19
Speaker 3: steps behind you. Odre has put a thumb, gets it
42:24
Speaker 3: right and comes a step onto the table and three
42:27
Speaker 3: steps behind.
42:28
Speaker 1: That's scary seeing Oldra on the bullet pursuit.
42:32
Speaker 3: For Yeah, it's a little ominous, but she's still three
42:36
Speaker 3: steps behind. Here is your next question. Named after the
42:40
Speaker 3: British mathematician and codebreaker, The Turing test evaluates what is
42:45
Speaker 3: it a artificial intelligence, B financial risk or C radioactive decay.
42:53
Speaker 3: Matt has put artificial intelligence.
42:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's to do with official intelligence.
43:00
Speaker 3: I would agree with you. I think this is correct,
43:02
Speaker 3: but the we'll find out. The correct answer is yes,
43:06
Speaker 3: it's a artificial intelligence. Okay, you are now three steps
43:09
Speaker 3: from home. Andre has put also puts artificial intelligence and
43:14
Speaker 3: stays the three steps by.
43:15
Speaker 1: We're both smart.
43:16
Speaker 3: Oh my god, who would have thunk it?
43:20
Speaker 1: Here?
43:20
Speaker 2: Could have predicted this?
43:22
Speaker 3: Here is your next question, matteas rose wine is produced
43:27
Speaker 3: in which country A Portugal, be South Africa or see Germany?
43:33
Speaker 2: Hm.
43:34
Speaker 3: Both players taking their time this time, but both once
43:39
Speaker 3: again answered pretty close together. Matt, you have put b
43:44
Speaker 3: South Africa.
43:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've wrapped myself in circles with this one. I
43:48
Speaker 1: think my instinct was Germany at first, because I thought,
43:51
Speaker 1: like matteos, it sounds a bit more like German code,
43:54
Speaker 1: it maybe, But then I thought like colonialism.
43:57
Speaker 3: Maybe. Yeah, I'm not sure honestly, but we'll find out.
44:01
Speaker 3: Correct answer is a.
44:04
Speaker 1: Portugal, the one I didn't even consider.
44:07
Speaker 3: If Audre has put that she has come to two
44:10
Speaker 3: steps behind. Audre has put also goes b South Africa
44:16
Speaker 3: and is also wrong you.
44:18
Speaker 2: So for colonialist reason, for colonialist reason.
44:22
Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough. So far you've been pretty even killed,
44:25
Speaker 3: both of you. Let's see if that continues. Here's our
44:28
Speaker 3: next question. Which of these words means sweetly or innocently charming?
44:34
Speaker 3: Which describes both of you as far as I'm concerned?
44:36
Speaker 3: Is it a welsome, be woesome or cee winsome? All right, Matt,
44:46
Speaker 3: you took a little longer than Andre did this time.
44:49
Speaker 3: You have put welsome.
44:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just you wasn't woesome unless it turns out
44:56
Speaker 1: to be and then fifty shot then yeah, yeah.
45:00
Speaker 3: All right, Well, the correct answer is see wins Once again,
45:05
Speaker 3: Andre has a chance to close the gap. Audre has
45:08
Speaker 3: Put wins gets it right, and it's it's terrifying. Two
45:13
Speaker 3: steps behind you, Matt.
45:14
Speaker 2: Oh, it's ominous.
45:18
Speaker 3: All right, it's getting closer. But you can do this. Matt.
45:21
Speaker 3: You've got three questions to get right, to get out
45:23
Speaker 3: of here. Here is your next question. In what country
45:27
Speaker 3: is the word bulla macunka humorously used to refer to
45:31
Speaker 3: any remote place. Is it a South Africa, be Australia
45:36
Speaker 3: or see England? Matt, you have put Australia.
45:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like it's Australia. It can't be England.
45:47
Speaker 1: I just know it can't be.
45:48
Speaker 3: So once again, fifty to fifty shot.
45:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to imagine it being said in an
45:53
Speaker 2: Australian accent in my mind, and I.
45:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bulla makanka might exact. We'll see it does
46:01
Speaker 3: sound a little yeah, good fit, We'll see. The correct
46:04
Speaker 3: answer is Australia, exactly right. Matt comes to within two
46:08
Speaker 3: steps of home. Andre has Put goes Australia also and
46:13
Speaker 3: stays the two steps behind pursuit. It's very hot. Here
46:19
Speaker 3: is your next question. Which of these figures does not
46:23
Speaker 3: appear on the cover of the Beatles Sergeant Pepper album.
46:28
Speaker 3: Is it a Abraham Lincoln? B. May West or C.
46:31
Speaker 3: George Bernard Shaw? All right, Matt, you have put May West?
46:44
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking maybe she was because it was like
46:46
Speaker 1: around about the time where she would have been a
46:47
Speaker 1: pop culture figure. But I thought they were mostly like
46:50
Speaker 1: heroes and idols who were on the not murderous.
46:54
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see. The correct answer is a Abraham Lincoln.
47:00
Speaker 1: I remember Abraham Lincoln being on that.
47:03
Speaker 3: If Audre has put a she is now one step
47:06
Speaker 3: behind you. Audre has put Abraham Lincoln and is now
47:12
Speaker 3: right on your tail.
47:14
Speaker 1: What the Beatles doing putting May West on an album cover?
47:16
Speaker 1: Those boys should be ashamed, not.
47:20
Speaker 2: As ashamed as if they would have put a yank
47:22
Speaker 2: on there.
47:25
Speaker 1: Point taken?
47:27
Speaker 3: All right, well, Matt, you gotta get this right to
47:30
Speaker 3: stay in the game. Uh, or hope that Audre gets
47:33
Speaker 3: it wrong. But there are only two questions away from home.
47:36
Speaker 3: So here is your next which work by Samuel Beckett
47:40
Speaker 3: has been described as a play in which nothing happens twice.
47:46
Speaker 3: Is it a waiting for GOODO b endgame? Or see
47:49
Speaker 3: Happy Days? Matt answers very quickly, and Audre gets in
47:57
Speaker 3: just in time. You have put a waiting for GOODO.
48:03
Speaker 3: I think that's how this play is being described. Happy
48:07
Speaker 3: Days is a sitcom? Well we shall see. The correct
48:12
Speaker 3: answer is he waiting for goodo? Well done? You are
48:16
Speaker 3: now one step away from home. Audra has put goes
48:21
Speaker 3: wrong with Happy Days and is now two steps behind you.
48:25
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm sure there's something. It can't be
48:28
Speaker 2: the only one that I've heard of. Yeah, it must
48:32
Speaker 2: be something else, a miss.
48:33
Speaker 3: I've done scenes from Waiting for GOODO and acting class.
48:38
Speaker 3: It is literally just two guys talking for the whole play.
48:42
Speaker 3: It is there.
48:43
Speaker 1: Nothing happens shows up, not once, no.
48:47
Speaker 3: No on. But having said that, there is a production
48:51
Speaker 3: with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters from Bill and Ted.
48:54
Speaker 3: So Bill and Ted are waiting for GOODO. It's happening.
48:58
Speaker 3: It's real. So I'm excited to see that. But anyway,
49:01
Speaker 3: neither here nor there. Matt, you are one question away
49:04
Speaker 3: from getting through with your two step advantage. Audrey, you
49:07
Speaker 3: are two steps from catching him. Here is your next question.
49:10
Speaker 3: The name of what entertainment venue can be used to
49:14
Speaker 3: describe a group of aircraft engaged in spectacular flying? Is
49:19
Speaker 3: it a cinema, B theater, C circus. Matt has put theater.
49:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't know this. I was expecting a different word
49:34
Speaker 1: to a pea, but then none of them did, and
49:36
Speaker 1: so I went with.
49:37
Speaker 3: The Yeah, I mean I would go with theater. The
49:41
Speaker 3: only thing that worries me is theater of war. So
49:44
Speaker 3: maybe it was reserved for more serious things. But let's
49:47
Speaker 3: find out. If you're right, you go through, and you
49:50
Speaker 3: get a two step advantage in the final chase. The
49:53
Speaker 3: correct answer is C circus.
50:00
Speaker 1: Can't bunch of clowns flying those planes.
50:03
Speaker 2: If the python's flying circus.
50:06
Speaker 3: If Audre gets this right, she is one step behind you,
50:09
Speaker 3: and we have a one question shootout. Oudra has put
50:13
Speaker 3: see circus. It's down to this. This is it, Matt.
50:18
Speaker 3: You you gotta get this right, buddy, Yeah, I got it.
50:22
Speaker 3: Here is your what I'm hoping is your last question,
50:25
Speaker 3: because you get through. Which city's Great Fire of eighteen
50:28
Speaker 3: seventy one started when Missus O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern?
50:33
Speaker 3: Is it a San Francisco, b Chicago or CE Boston?
50:38
Speaker 2: I have no Sorry, I shouldn't be saying I should
50:43
Speaker 2: just be I should just be sending in an answer.
50:45
Speaker 3: The chasing Ooh, okay, that was close. Matt has put Boston.
50:54
Speaker 1: It's a guess. I mean I kind of thought a
50:56
Speaker 1: little bit Boston iration Missus O'Leary and kind of made that.
51:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get why, But the correct answer is Chicago.
51:06
Speaker 1: I'm afraid like the TV show, the TV show is
51:08
Speaker 1: named after an event.
51:10
Speaker 3: I knew that one, that the Great Fire of Chicago
51:13
Speaker 3: started by Missus O'Leary's cow. Now did Audre know it?
51:18
Speaker 3: Because if she's right, you get nothing. Audre has put
51:25
Speaker 3: Boston goes wrong and we're still in the game. You
51:31
Speaker 3: guys are just on the same plan existence and the
51:36
Speaker 3: same All right, let's see if you can get through. Matt,
51:44
Speaker 3: here is your next question. In which film does the
51:47
Speaker 3: male lead gain the ability to hear thoughts? A little
51:53
Speaker 3: women be women in love? See what Women Want? Audrew
52:04
Speaker 3: got that in just in time. Matt, you have put
52:09
Speaker 3: See what Women Want?
52:10
Speaker 2: Again.
52:11
Speaker 1: It's a coin toss because it's not little women. But
52:15
Speaker 1: if what women want, that's to do with potentially hearing thoughts.
52:19
Speaker 3: All right, Well, if you're right, you're going through to
52:22
Speaker 3: the final chase with two steps advantage. In the final chase,
52:25
Speaker 3: if not, Audre has the chance to catch you. The
52:29
Speaker 3: correct answer is what women want. Come on, Bradley, well done,
52:39
Speaker 3: Well done, Matt. Congratulations you won your individual chase, which
52:43
Speaker 3: means you do get an advantage in the final chase.
52:45
Speaker 3: Audre's just gonna have to work that much harder to
52:47
Speaker 3: catch you.
52:48
Speaker 2: M hmm.
52:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt has.
52:51
Speaker 3: Made it to the final chase with a two step
52:53
Speaker 3: head start on Audre. We're gonna go ahead and put
52:55
Speaker 3: that up on the board. Matt, You're gonna have twenty questions,
53:00
Speaker 3: answer as many correctly as you can to increase your
53:02
Speaker 3: score as high as you possibly can. After you're done
53:05
Speaker 3: with all twenty questions, it'll be Oudre's turn, and Ouder
53:08
Speaker 3: will also have twenty questions in which she'll try.
53:11
Speaker 1: To catch you.
53:13
Speaker 3: If she succeeds, she wins yet another game. Yep. So,
53:19
Speaker 3: and I know you're currently behind. So Matt, I'm gonna
53:21
Speaker 3: give you the choice. Would you like questions at set
53:24
Speaker 3: A or B?
53:26
Speaker 1: Leaving it up to fate. Okay, let's go in order.
53:30
