• 0:22
  a spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master and mutants kept alive
• 0:27
  by atomic powered machines Matt Watson. But of course we couldn't play these games
• 0:32
  without our team captains, a pair of volt dwellers who are ready to be
• 0:37
  experimented on. First, she's a heavily mutated gun slinger, but that's the
• 0:42
  Midwest for you. It's Mordred Stevenson. Have there. That's not the accent
• 0:48
  for my town, not at all. And he's a three armed robot ready
• 0:52
  to build whatever you need this convention season. It's mister Handy himself. Jason
• 0:56
  Nowen, Hello, thank you, Hello captain. Are you ready for a
• 1:00
  series of games about to post apocalyptic RPG video game series set in an atom
• 1:04
  punk world. There's there's a lot to this one. There there's a lot.
• 1:08
  Yes, I am very ready. Uh. We were talking very extensively
• 1:12
  about how it's been a long time. Yes, I visited the Fall series,
• 1:15
  but going back into it, I freaking love it. It's it's super
• 1:19
  fun and yeah, I'm probably gonna play a little bit after this. This
• 1:22
  episode recording for sure? Oh hell yes, hell, yes, you played
• 1:26
  the originals, the three. I started with New Vegas and then I played
• 1:30
  four. So in the grand scheme of like, the series is a totelt
• 1:37
  Yes, not much, not much, but I like it, you know,
• 1:41
  like most things, I make up for my spirit. Yes, yes,
• 1:45
  and you sounded sound especially enthusiastic today. You make up for an incumption
• 1:52
  and older What about yourself? Was was your knowledge at? I am minimal.
• 1:57
  I have watched a lot of it being played, yes, but I
• 2:01
  have not played a lot myself. I'm hoping that general video game understanding will
• 2:07
  carry me through and gumpshon and GUMPHI. So it maybe sounds like you need
• 2:14
  a teammate, and we'll give We'll give Jason a teammate as well, just
• 2:16
  because that's how this podcast works. Yeah. Yeah, So to play these
• 2:21
  games about Fallout, you'll each need to pair up with a trusty partner,
• 2:24
  a kindly mutant, or a German shepherd. Jason, who is your teammate
• 2:30
  today? He's a new player, a dog lover, and a mental health
• 2:34
  professional. Which can I get your number? Later? It's Andy Walker?
• 2:38
  Hello? Andy? Hello? Yeah, that's right, mental health professional and
• 2:40
  social workers or hawd your kids and had you wives. Fantastic introduction from a
• 2:49
  licensed professional there, Andy, it's so good to have you on the podcast.
• 2:53
  You and I used to work together back in the day, back when
• 2:55
  I lived in Merry Old England. We did, indeed. But we're not
• 3:00
  to be making coffee for angry customers today. We are going to be playing
• 3:02
  some games about fallouts. So where is your fallout knowledge at? I think
• 3:07
  it's I don't want to get ahead of me now, but I think it's
• 3:08
  pretty good. However, like we discussed earlier, I know Matt is a
• 3:12
  bit of a wizard with the words, so I do worry about some of
• 3:15
  the questions, but overall, I'd say I'm a solid nine eight percent shot.
• 3:19
  It's going to be all right, nice, lovely, it's coming home,
• 3:24
  good stuff. I'm sure you'll make a good team. And Ultra who
• 3:29
  is joining you? He's a regular player. We love him and I can't
• 3:32
  wait to hear the ten thousand muses he's brought. It's Chris Reagan. Hello,
• 3:37
  Chris, Hey, what's up everybody? I am so stoked to be
• 3:40
  here and probably lose again. You know, it's just a good you won
• 3:46
  I've won one, lost, lost, four, five, five or five.
• 3:53
  I might have lost five at this point. We'll make it five today.
• 3:57
  If not, they're not gonna be much help. Look to have fun
• 4:04
  ways, fun always, Chris, you are a fan of the full out
• 4:09
  franchise question Mark. I am, indeed exclamation point lovely. I wouldn't say
• 4:15
  it. I'm like super super knowledgeable on it, but I fucking love it.
• 4:19
  Honestly. I had the same exact pattern of playing as Jason. I
• 4:24
  started with New Vegas, and then I went to four, and then last
• 4:28
  year actually I played three, and I love the franchise. Don't know if
• 4:32
  the lore is all in there, you know, but I'm still super stoked.
• 4:36
  There's so much of it. I was like trying to like read up
• 4:40
  on it. I studied more for this than I did like in any school
• 4:45
  class or a Yeah, more important, much more vital. I'll use this
• 4:51
  way more in life than I will any of that other ship from school.
• 4:57
  You'll bet Tree, Well, the fuck is that? That's my fault minoring
• 5:01
  in music, which is all the more weird that you were doing geometry.
• 5:06
  Yeah you know stuff, Yeah the triangle. There we go. That's that
• 5:15
  we're not going to beat that on this RAF. I don't think. I
• 5:16
  don't think. So, okay, is that an instrument? Sure? It
• 5:21
  is? Now okay, okay. Teams, you've zipped through your formative life
• 5:26
  experiences. You are almost ready to leave the vault. But before you can,
• 5:30
  there's one special task I have for you. I'd like each pair to
• 5:34
  come up with a Fallout themed team name. Please. Let's start with Jason
• 5:39
  and Andy. Oh nice? Okay, So Andy, as you may or
• 5:43
  may not know, I like to start off because I have some pretty bad
• 5:45
  names and I like that a lot. It's a very fun aspect of my
• 5:48
  life that I get to participate in. The more I talk, the more
• 5:51
  it sounds like I'm being really sarcastic. I'll be honest. Your voice sounds
• 5:56
  very sarcastic. I'm so sorry. I'm tired. All right, So here's
• 6:00
  some names. You give me your thoughts. First, it's a it's a
• 6:04
  classic tunnel snakes rule, right, That's that's that's a classic tunnel snakes roll.
• 6:09
  Yeah. Yeah, I've got a sexy ghoules uh, because I forgot
• 6:14
  ghouls were a thing in these games. And I think there's there's like a
• 6:16
  Bostonian enactor Ghoul who's like sexy, you can romance him. I don't know.
• 6:21
  It's it's just interesting, Okay. It gives us an insight into your
• 6:25
  preferences. There's a lot of there's a lot of second the Google prostitutes as
• 6:28
  well. In one of the games. I don't show many of the games.
• 6:30
  I don't know, Uh, the Everlasting Dog Meat because I like that,
• 6:33
  like dog you Everlasting Dog meet, Yeah, because it always exists in
• 6:38
  the Game of Reincarnation. It's the same dog. I don't know. And
• 6:41
  then my last one, it's one of my favorite ones, the concept of
• 6:45
  not having enough stats for the one big decision in the game, so you
• 6:46
  don't get the ending that you want, because that's like a bummer, you
• 6:50
  know. Uh, that's a snappy name, rolls off the the last one,
• 6:57
  Jason. Yeah, so Andy, I'm hoping you've got some ideas.
• 7:00
  Yeah. Well, actually, James and I think we're on the same Waveland
• 7:03
  because I didn't put tunnel Snakes down. Yeah, And I will say,
• 7:09
  you know a lot about girl prostitutes For someone who said that didn't know girls
• 7:13
  existed just a moment ago, I forgot. I had to remember, you
• 7:16
  know, And then the first thought was sexy girls there thing as well,
• 7:21
  well, I am still a health professional, James, and I think we
• 7:25
  can go But I mean that sounds good. I had a few meself Boat,
• 7:31
  I think, I think tunnel snakes. I mean that could be a
• 7:34
  good one to goal with. Yeah, tunnel snakes, the tunnel Snakes.
• 7:39
  The tunnel Snakes rules. You have to have an exclamation mark at the end
• 7:43
  of rule. Yeah, tunnel snakes rule. Okay, that's a good team
• 7:51
  name. I like it. Let's move on over to Utre and Chris.
• 7:56
  I only had two ideas, lame on me. One of them has been
• 8:01
  amended to tunnel Snakes. Suck Bigan. We're from Colorado and like a thing
• 8:13
  that people say coloradical. Coloradical. It's like it's like a hashtag thing.
• 8:18
  Um. But also rad scorpions. So radical scorpions, Oh, radical scorpions
• 8:24
  pretty good. I'm always a fan of naming anything scorpion, you know,
• 8:30
  flag, football teams, whatever. Scorpion is always a good one to go
• 8:35
  off. I had a couple I really like, I really like those,
• 8:39
  um, but to go off an existing bit, because you guys know me,
• 8:43
  I love existing bits. Yeah, yeah, there's you know a couple
• 8:48
  of times now Audre's team has had Adder's name in the title. Yeah,
• 8:54
  that's right. And there's a woman there's this creepy cult and followup called the
• 9:01
  Children of Adam, So I was thinking the Children of adram Um. That
• 9:07
  might be the most false one we've had yet. There's I could not find
• 9:13
  anything that I could into, so that was the best I could do.
• 9:18
  It's a good it's a good effort. It's definitely a good effort. You
• 9:22
  know, it's all about trying. It is it is because you can reload.
• 9:24
  You can reload the safe if you want to fall out. Yeah,
• 9:28
  and then the other ones weren't as good. I can't remember Adam kats,
• 9:35
  you know, there's just like a different uh factions and stuff. And then
• 9:41
  yeah, yeah, so what what are you thinking? Then? What you're
• 9:43
  settling on? You got you got Tunnel Snakes Suck for the classic rivalry here.
• 9:48
  Yeah, it's very clear that it's one team against us. I think
• 9:52
  I like Tunnel Snakes Suck too, because the whole thing about the game is
• 9:54
  choice, right, a lot of choice and fallout. I will say our
• 10:00
  on our last episode, I did keep trying to buzz in with the other
• 10:03
  team's name, could be a strat udre could just have a stroke in the
• 10:09
  middle of this still you know, like that that's an option for her.
• 10:13
  Ultra's brain collapses in on itself like a nuclear reactor. Um. I mean
• 10:18
  we could tunnel snakes suck and then you can shout rule and suck during the
• 10:22
  during the quick fire. Und I'm super down for that. Yeah, all
• 10:26
  right, tune in a question mark instead of an exclamation point. You kind
• 10:33
  of agree with them snakes, they suck. We're just we're not even like
• 10:37
  an opposing faction. We're like within the group and we're like, hey,
• 10:41
  I don't know if I agree with what's started down, we're just to fall
• 10:46
  out. We're just kind of like slightly talking shit to everybody else, don't
• 10:50
  They kind of suck, right, kind of suck kind of a day.
• 10:56
  Those leather jackets there, like that cute, right, They kind of out
• 11:01
  of fashion again? Now whether anyways, good point, it's not sustainable.
• 11:07
  It's not sustainable Brahmin nice reference. Okay, so we have the tunnel snakes
• 11:13
  rule versus the tunnel snakes suck. I'm just hanging out with a bunch of
• 11:18
  tunnel snakes today. All right, there's some good team names. But if
• 11:22
  you're listening to this and thinking, well, you're overseeing a fun situation.
• 11:26
  Matt, But I don't know my Fallout from my Fallout boy, don't worry
• 11:31
  his audro with a little segment we like to call passing knowledge. Fallout is
• 11:37
  a series of post apocalyptic role playing video games, initially released in nineteen ninety
• 11:41
  seven, but with a far more well known reboot by Bethesda in two thousand
• 11:46
  and eight. The reboot was made under the direction of Todd Howard, who
• 11:50
  is at this very moment busy at work on Skyroom's twelfth rerelease. And one
• 11:56
  of the great things about having a fully dynamic game in is all of this
• 12:01
  just works. The series is set in a parallel timeline to our own,
• 12:05
  where the world leaned heavily into nuclear power beginning in the fifties. This gives
• 12:09
  it a distinct esthetic, fusing the future and classic fifties Americana. Essentially imagine
• 12:16
  the Jetsons, but where Astro the Dog is a giant radiated scorpion and the
• 12:20
  robot made has a hacks on case it needs to remove your head from your
• 12:24
  body. You don't know how wonderful it is for me together, I feel
• 12:28
  completely recharged. The nuclear prevalence resulted in vaults being built across North America for
• 12:35
  citizens to retreat to in case of danger, rather than keeping people safe,
• 12:39
  though as advertised, each vault was just a separate Petrie dish for whatever experiments
• 12:46
  Vault Tech felt like performing. This makes the world your character emerges into very
• 12:50
  chill, very well adjusted, not at all volatile and violent. Everything's fine,
• 12:56
  drink Nuca cola are American way of life, isn't it grand? Peace,
• 13:03
  freedom and bacon and eggs seems perfect? But what if it's not.
• 13:11
  This world is dark and full of conflict and ever present violence, with struggles
• 13:16
  due to resource shortages and desires for power, factions divided out of fear and
• 13:20
  lies, and large corporations using the propaganda of a bygone era. Honestly,
• 13:26
  it's nice to escape all of that real world crap and just go into a
• 13:30
  video game. Thank you, Audre. I hope that caught everyone up on
• 13:37
  Fallout And if not, look, it's a post apocalyptic franchise and they account
• 13:41
  for fifty percent of all contemporary ips, so you'll pick it up as we
• 13:45
  go along. Yeah, Just before we get to today's games, I've asked
• 13:48
  each player to bring in a muse, something that inspires them or something they
• 13:52
  love from this particular fandom. Fallout is inspiring to me because here in America,
• 13:58
  we're about three elections icles away from adopting the politics of the nineteen fifties,
• 14:03
  and even though I don't agree with them, I like to be proven
• 14:05
  right. So Jason will start with you. Yes, So with for my
• 14:11
  muse today, I chose one of my favorite Fallout games. I think it's
• 14:16
  a Fallout game that really emphasizes choice, creative problem solving, uh some RPG
• 14:22
  elements where I get to really build my own world. Fallout Shelter is great,
• 14:28
  and I think it's an under game like ironic, it's full out Shelter
• 14:33
  good. I've played it. Un Ironically, I do think it's a good
• 14:37
  like. I think it started off as a mobile game and I got ported
• 14:39
  over to switching something. It's a very simple, like just build your own
• 14:43
  settlement type of game, and it's just nice to to hop in every now
• 14:46
  and then and check on my little vault. Yeah they still alive. Yeah
• 14:50
  they're probably starving like a fucked up tamagotchi, you know, yeah, fighting
• 14:54
  for its life against deaf eaters or whatever. The tamaguchi. But there's a
• 14:58
  thousand of them in a volts, making them breed with each other, make
• 15:01
  the best babies or something. I don't know, Okay, And then the
• 15:05
  game's fun. I do like it. Yeah, it's a good game.
• 15:07
  It's better than seventy six. I'll tell you, fair point, fair point,
• 15:11
  it's entirely it's better than seventy six. Yeah, but I'll say my
• 15:15
  apologies if anyone's listening to this, If a Fallout fans has decided to click
• 15:18
  on this episode, there will be some seventy six racking happening. I hope
• 15:22
  you agree with us. Yeah, and I hope you like Shelter a lot.
• 15:26
  Okay, you are inspired by Fallout Shelter. Nice, you're inspired by
• 15:30
  cash grabby spinoffs. I like it very inspiring. Let's move on over to
• 15:35
  your team mate, Andy. What's inspiring you from the world of Fallout?
• 15:39
  Now? I was gonna say just about Jason's mus show. The only thing
• 15:43
  that I hear about it is how much money I have spent on it myself.
• 15:48
  I mean, those boxes just draw you. Is that instead of loot
• 15:56
  boxes. It's like, yeah, yeah, it makes it less threatening when
• 16:00
  it's a lunchbox as opposed to a loop. Yes, I am glad to
• 16:03
  top out my mus because it means I can finally use it. This one
• 16:07
  comes to the double bubble because I wanted to show off my merchandise and hopefully
• 16:11
  pull on the heart strings of Matt our lovely Horse. Because this is a
• 16:18
  gift that Matt gave me. Oh yes, many years ago. It is
• 16:23
  a mug that has survived the ages of our working together and times since it
• 16:30
  is a lovely for the viewers at home, it is a fallout mug.
• 16:33
  Yes, with the lovely Vault boy on it. Is he holding a mug
• 16:37
  of his own on it? Oh yeah, yeah, it's because he normally
• 16:41
  has the thumbs up, but it's a mug. The mug exception. I
• 16:44
  he pulled on my heart strings. That's so, that's so sentimental. Yeah,
• 16:47
  It's like we were working at a coffee place together and I was like,
• 16:49
  you know what, this guy needs another receptacle for coffee, and obviously
• 16:55
  it's uptizing with the Vault boy with the holding the mug as well. I
• 16:57
  think that's it's it's good, yes, with advertising of the company, but
• 17:02
  that is my muse and I can finally drink from it now, which is
• 17:04
  excellent. Yeah, it's never that's so sweet that you've had because that's like
• 17:11
  we're old, so that was like what six or seven years ago now,
• 17:14
  back when the worlds and Black and White match. Yes, yes, a
• 17:17
  long time ago. Oh, that's so sweet that you kept that and it's
• 17:21
  survived. It's looking like it's in good condition as well. It's doing well.
• 17:26
  Fantastic. Yea lovely muse. You've You've successfully pulled up my heartstrings.
• 17:30
  But I've got to go back into games master mode and say fuck you.
• 17:33
  I'm going to take away points at some point. Um. Awesome. All
• 17:37
  right, Let's move on over to our other tunnel snakes, the ones who
• 17:40
  believe that the tunnel sake snakes suck, and let's ask maybe they maybe suck.
• 17:45
  Let's ask Chris, what's inspiring you from fallout? Um? As previously
• 17:51
  stated, I have a shit tone of MutS. I like to com prepared
• 17:56
  with muses things to inspire me to victory because I figure the more I have,
• 18:03
  the more likely I'll win. And we'll see if someday that becomes true.
• 18:07
  I don't really know quant Is he not quality? That's what they say,
• 18:11
  Yeah, exactly. And speaking of quantity over quality, I'm gonna use
• 18:15
  my brotherhood of Steelhead that I've got nice my only bit of merch that I
• 18:21
  have. Oh shoot, actually, I do have a little vault boy figuring.
• 18:26
  Oh he's coming up with mole muses on the fly life on the podcast.
• 18:30
  We're just written merch. I do have a vault boy figuring in my
• 18:37
  office. I'm not in my office. Um, And then I'm gonna say
• 18:41
  another muse is our our good buddy Adam Wood, who I lost too in
• 18:45
  the Parks of rec episode because he lent me New Vegas the first time I
• 18:51
  played it and was just like, dude, you're gonna enjoy this just to
• 18:55
  play it and then you to do this. And then he gave me a
• 18:59
  drug that I then took and got really sucked into fallout while using um and
• 19:07
  so it's just like a great time socially shout out to Adam Um, yes,
• 19:11
  and and and his drugs. Yeah, that's so surreal, because like,
• 19:15
  all dude, you gotta you gotta take KEMX in the game whal Life,
• 19:19
  She's so blurring sport some jet Oh and then I was gonna use my
• 19:27
  last news as a post Malone's vault boy tattoo. Okay, he just got
• 19:33
  a little one on his leg and I and I appreciate it, and uh
• 19:37
  I will probably do the same at some point. So shout out to post
• 19:41
  Malone. I know he's listening. Really appreciate the shout out as well.
• 19:47
  You know his fun beds doesn't really doing well. So yeah, yeah,
• 19:52
  just all about you know, supporting small artists. That's a little known independent
• 19:59
  artists, Malone. Um, all right, as games Master, I'm gonna
• 20:03
  force you to pick one muse that you will carry into the episode as your
• 20:07
  inspiration, even though thank you so much for listening all of them. What
• 20:11
  you what You're going to take merch much stuff bye, much struggling right now.
• 20:18
  Also another struggling business. Yeah, lovely stuff. Lovely stuff. And
• 20:22
  finally we move over to our other Captain, Audre, what is inspiring you
• 20:26
  from fallout? I also have two I'm so sorry. Okay, we're in
• 20:30
  it now, We're in it now, We're in it now. Um.
• 20:32
  One of them is Brendan Hunt. Yes, he plays Beard and is like
• 20:37
  a co writer on Ted Lasso. Oh so co writer and ted Lasso.
• 20:41
  I looked at his history, like has done shows at Edinburgh Fringe, He's
• 20:45
  won Hollywood Fringe Awards with like comedy plays, like dark comedy plays and stuff
• 20:51
  incredible. I was going to ask you, guys to guess who he was
• 20:55
  in the Fallout universe dog meat, I know, so I'm not going to
• 21:00
  answer. He's them the radio host, the really timid radio host. Do
• 21:07
  you like, get confidence too in one of the things and get him a
• 21:10
  date with Scarlet Fall. Yeah, And he's just the voice of that.
• 21:15
  And I was just listening to some of those like sketches of him being like,
• 21:19
  I think they might have attacked here. I don't really know, guys,
• 21:23
  I don't know what's going on anymore. And it's so fun to like,
• 21:29
  now that I've seen ted Lasso and like some of the other stuff he's
• 21:32
  done, it's too fun to go back and be like, oh, you
• 21:34
  look at you go. But my other my main muse. I saw an
• 21:41
  article in the Guardian where it was talking about like the Open World is a
• 21:45
  stage essentially in Fallout seventy six, there is a theater troupe the Wasteland Theater
• 21:53
  Troupe. They stage um Shakespearean theatrical production in Fallout seventy six m And you
• 22:03
  got to do something in that game, right, So they'll basically like they'll
• 22:07
  hold auditions, they'll like they'll go through and it's just a thing of like
• 22:12
  they're going through a production of Romeo and Juliet and a scorpion the size of
• 22:17
  a jeep comes up and everybody has to stop and kill it, and then
• 22:22
  Juliet's dead, but we gotta finish the play. And it's just that brings
• 22:27
  me so much joy. God, that's so funny. That's some deep fandom
• 22:30
  stuff. It brings me so much joy to see this like Traveling Theater group
• 22:37
  because they travel throughout throughout the Waiste land, Yeah, putting on production.
• 22:41
  They actually like travel Traveling Theater Group. Yeah, like to like a vision
• 22:48
  a scene here in the style of like two thousand and seven machinima like kind
• 22:52
  of type of game play. Oh yeah, you know, Caesar like comes
• 22:55
  out of his uh his fucking power armor TCC power arm. Yes, sorry,
• 23:02
  yess that's right, and then Brutus comes up to him with like a
• 23:04
  fucking shiv and stabs him fifty times. Yeah in vats So it's slow,
• 23:08
  but that's what Shakespeare a lot of one as well. Yes, yeah,
• 23:15
  it's what you envisioned. Back at the Globe, he was like, one
• 23:18
  day this will happen in a multiple mult massively multiplayerut on mid row playing game.
• 23:23
  Uh that's I mean, that's good. I love the weird fandom stuff,
• 23:26
  where like a club is just digital And what year? When did follow
• 23:30
  Out seventy six come out? Approximately eighteen twenty eighteen. We say this article
• 23:37
  is from January twenty twenty three, so like it's recent. It's not like
• 23:41
  it didn't happen when it first came out and has since fizzled. Nope,
• 23:45
  fan base is strong. It kind of sounds like it's a little bit like
• 23:48
  cyberpunk and that it like really sucked at launch. And then I guess now
• 23:52
  it's i've heard that it's fun. I don't. I don't naturally know.
• 23:56
  I think you've only heard that from people from the Wasteland Theater trip though.
• 24:00
  Yeah, we're like we're having a blast. You're in a discord with a
• 24:03
  lot of them, and I do understand. I respect that. Hark a
• 24:08
  rad Scorpion. Wherefore art super mutant um. That's not that doesn't deserve that
• 24:21
  big a laugh. I couldn't. I couldn't even think of a real name
• 24:23
  from the Fallout series. Get a hold of yourself, Jesus, Oh god,
• 24:32
  awesome. Well that's a good news. That's a good, good little
• 24:34
  bit of trivia there of knowledge from the fan community. I love it.
• 24:40
  It's just I like to see people engaging. It is good and should we
• 24:42
  should we engage with some games? Should we do that? Right now?
• 24:48
  Right teams, your father has gone missing, You've been shot and left for
• 24:52
  dead, and your son has been taken from you. Phew, that's that's
• 24:55
  a lot for our protagonists. So let's head out into the waste lands of
• 25:00
  round one. Round one is called the vault in our starts? Does that
• 25:10
  work? The various vault tech vaults have housed people after the nuclear apocalypse,
• 25:17
  and they were used for a variety of different experiments and purposes. But can
• 25:22
  our teams recognize which ones really appear in the Fallout franchise and which ones I
• 25:26
  made up last Tuesday when I should have been doing literally anything else with my
• 25:32
  life. So in turn, I will read each team the number and purpose
• 25:37
  of a vault. Our teams must simply discuss and decide if they think it's
• 25:41
  real or fake. Simple. Oh and if it's real, I'll give you
• 25:45
  a bonus point if you can name the franchise entry that that vault appears in.
• 25:49
  So it's chance for a B. We will begin with Tunnel Snake's rule
• 25:55
  because they do. Here is your first vault Vault one one two social experiment
• 26:00
  in which inhabitants were placed in a virtual reality simulation controlled by the overseer.
• 26:07
  That sounds like one, doesn't A and D. I think I think it
• 26:11
  is. I think I can remember where it came from. I think it's
• 26:14
  a Volte three Fallout three sorry, where you're looking to see your dad and
• 26:18
  there's that that like that German guy who plays the little girl and the pint
• 26:22
  size slash. Wow. Yeah, yeah, I think now that you said
• 26:27
  that, I think you're absolutely right. This is probably a DLC. I
• 26:32
  think actually in Fallout three, see, I think it's part of the most
• 26:37
  storyline where you okay, um, yeah, I know Mac can sometimes be
• 26:41
  tricky with the vault numbers, so I don't know if that's out no,
• 26:45
  no, If if it's DLC from it as long as you name the main
• 26:48
  title it's from which right here you have, you've got two points. It
• 26:52
  is a real vault and it's from Fallout three. Nice excellent, good start,
• 26:56
  yeah, good start, strong strong See how the tunnel Snakes suck fair
• 27:03
  in their opening vault here it is Vault twenty two Research facility studying and creating
• 27:11
  genetically modified crops and flora. Yeah, that was in New Vegas. I'm
• 27:15
  pretty I'm pretty sure. No deliberation, no discussion, no podcast content.
• 27:22
  I literally just got the prompt for it in my New Vegas replay. Its
• 27:27
  Vault twenty two, and a doctor wants you to go and people keep dying
• 27:34
  when they go there, and you have to like fight these weird like grass
• 27:37
  monsters. That's yep, that's the one that's Are you happy with all that?
• 27:41
  Yeah? If they weren't doing some kind of agricultural experiment in one of
• 27:45
  the vaults, it was honestly a waste for science, if they weren't doing
• 27:49
  anything with crops and it. And it is indeed New Vegas, so two
• 27:52
  points. Hell yeah, strong stop for a tunnel Snakes suck. This is
• 28:00
  gonna get confusing because I'm just going to refer to both teams as tunnel snakes.
• 28:03
  Yeah, we didn't really think about this. Okay, back over to
• 28:07
  the tunnel snakes rule. Maybe I say rule and sucks, right, maybe
• 28:11
  that's what I say. I'm just going to keep saying suck, just like
• 28:14
  at weird intervals throughout the whole podcast. I don't remember, you know.
• 28:19
  Yes, Yeah, then just say snakes with a bit more enthusiasm because we're
• 28:23
  saying that the rule, whereas I think the other ones are having a bit
• 28:26
  of an identity crisis. Yeah, you're confident. Just the tone, the
• 28:33
  tone is going to communicate which, okay you're talking about all right, So
• 28:36
  over to tunnel snakes rule. That's me sounding confident. Here is your next
• 28:41
  vaults. Vaults one oh seven a social experiment when nine hundred and ninety nine
• 28:48
  devout theists were placed in a vault with one famous atheist who was made overseer.
• 28:55
  I think because I put my finger up in excitement and thinking that I
• 29:00
  knew this one. But I think that has done a tricky thing here.
• 29:04
  I think there's one vault and it's disgusting, but it's nine ninety nine men
• 29:10
  and one woman, or vice versa. It's it's that vault. So this
• 29:12
  is a fake vault because Matt's being tricky. Do you agree, Andy,
• 29:17
  I do. I think the only one that I know of where they put
• 29:19
  faiths in is I think I've got it right, Isn't it? Isn't that
• 29:22
  where like the Cans, the Vipers, and the jackals came from, because
• 29:26
  they put like Moti in this like hot pot of the vault, and then
• 29:32
  out came the Cans, vipers, and the jackals. So I think Matt
• 29:34
  pull a fast one here by saying I can't even pronounce the word that you
• 29:40
  said that Theers and Theesians and the yeah saying fake, Yeah, it is
• 29:48
  fake. And between the two of you, you've explained the two that I've
• 29:52
  kind of mashed together here. And I also like the hot pot is the
• 29:56
  Northern way of saying melting pot. I love that so much I'm going to
• 30:00
  start using that. We live in a hot part of a society. Oh
• 30:03
  it's also a delicious meal as well, it's as good. Yeah, that's
• 30:10
  gonna be one point for for correctly getting thats a fake? Excellent. Weren't
• 30:12
  there two vaults, one with nine men in one woman and then one with
• 30:18
  nine nine nine women and one man to see what would happen, and one
• 30:23
  of them was harmony and peace and involvement and the other they lasted four days.
• 30:32
  You get to guess which ones are which Oh yeah, yeah yeah,
• 30:34
  if based on your opinions, fill in which one you think it is.
• 30:37
  I see, Okay, okay, moving on over to Tunnel Snake Suck Vaults
• 30:44
  ninety five, social and medical experiment in which addicts were given experimental rehabilitation treatments
• 30:52
  and encouraged to remain clean, then informed of a secret stash of chems.
• 30:57
  That was just Adam giving Chris game. That's what I'm pretty sure that was
• 31:03
  in Fallout four, Um, because you have to take one of the NPC's
• 31:08
  because she wants to get clean from drugs, and you have to like fight
• 31:12
  your way through that through a bold okay of sober people so I don't remember,
• 31:18
  Yeah, you have to you have to kill all the sober people to
• 31:23
  get to the stash of the drugs at the end to become the alpha sober
• 31:29
  all the other That's that's what the thirteenth step is, so I being I
• 31:33
  don't totally remember the purpose of that fault, but that's like a drug themed
• 31:37
  one. Yeah, you have more knowledge than me, and there's something that
• 31:41
  makes that links them. So I'm gonna go. Let's go true you're saying,
• 31:47
  and as we hurt fall Out full Yes, yeah, you're right on
• 31:49
  both counts. Yeah, this is real and from Fallout fall two points.
• 31:52
  Hell yeah, killing it so far. I need you guys to not kill
• 31:56
  it. Go all tunnel snakes. You know, maybe by the end you'll
• 32:07
  all be unified as one feat against me. It will just be tunnel snakes.
• 32:15
  Honestly, it's like we someone graffiti the words tunnel snakes suck on the
• 32:19
  wall and it's us just reading it. Tunnel snakes suck. We've been on
• 32:24
  the same team the whole time. Okay, let's have another question for tunnel
• 32:28
  snakes rule here. It is Vault one oh eight, social experiments studying effects
• 32:35
  of leadership conflicts. Most management positions were to be filled by a terminally ill
• 32:39
  overseer, and the vault was also provided with a cloning device. That sounds
• 32:45
  vaguely familiar. Mum, Yeah, I'm too sure on this one. Yeah,
• 32:53
  I am recalling one vault that has something to do with a terminally ill
• 32:59
  overseer or a changing of the guard a lot, because because you get to
• 33:02
  read the documents and so and so worth and that's that's part of the great
• 33:06
  exploration. I don't know if the entire point of it was for like a
• 33:09
  like a failed leadership experiment or more over cloning experiment, because I thought one
• 33:15
  was maybe about failed leadership. Is maybe where I'm going with this. I
• 33:17
  don't know. I vague memories of this though. The only one I can
• 33:21
  think of, um where like the purposely chose like a terrible leader, was
• 33:25
  the one where you get like Nick Valentine from and you get to listen to
• 33:29
  holid tape and there's like really lords of suitable candidates and then there's like,
• 33:32
  I can't I think he's called someone like tinfoils something. I can't remember,
• 33:37
  Tinfoil Harry, and he's like, oh, like a bug in the water,
• 33:42
  and can you start, Yeah, just like how our presidents have chosen
• 33:51
  process. Yes, Oh man, I'm gonna say there's a lot of the
• 33:55
  good words in there that would make this plausible, but I think i'd leaned
• 34:00
  towards it being fake. Yeah, yeah, saying fake for this one,
• 34:06
  we'll fake real. Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, so sorry, but
• 34:10
  I heard fake from both of you. If I if I said the name
• 34:15
  Gary to you, would that mean anything? Oh? The clouding, all
• 34:22
  the all the Garies. Yeah, this is Fallout three. It's fans will
• 34:28
  know it as the vault with all the Garies. Yeah. Yeah, and
• 34:30
  don't they say their name because they're like dumb. Yeah Gary, Gary,
• 34:36
  Gary? Which one was that from? That was from Fallout three? Yeah?
• 34:42
  Shit, that was good, Matt. Yeah. I think we overlooked
• 34:45
  and completely didn't we We got two bogged down with the leadership element. Yeah.
• 34:50
  Yeah, I was a little chipsy with the wording there. It's just
• 34:52
  a meme. Vault, God damn you. Yeah. Sometimes it's easy to
• 34:57
  oversee these things. Ready, makes sense? Okay, back on over to
• 35:00
  tunnel snakes. Suck. That's good. It's so tough to do. I
• 35:07
  will, I'll change the name. I really, I'm just going to start
• 35:12
  saying rules and suck. Good, Okay, snappy, I'm going to turn
• 35:16
  to my wife and say, suck. Here's your vault. Vault fifty nine
• 35:24
  a zoological research facility in which inhabitants were tasked with the rering of pezz of
• 35:30
  small mammals in order to find the ideal companion for man. I this is
• 35:37
  not ringing any bells. Yeah, it doesn't ring any bells for me.
• 35:42
  Do you remember any person? Because it feels like someone would have a weird
• 35:45
  companion animal if this were true, for sure, they would not squander that
• 35:51
  opportunity. And that that seems like too good of an experiment for Vault Tech.
• 35:57
  Like, what's it's their purpose in finding the best? It's too pure,
• 36:02
  that's yeah, it's too pure of a thing for Vault Tech. It
• 36:06
  feels like but I feel like they did something with with like animals or some
• 36:09
  shit where they like put a bunch of animals in one But I don't think
• 36:15
  that this specific thing happened, Okay, saying saya, yes, fake,
• 36:22
  Yes, this one is fake. Oh I made it up based on Yeah,
• 36:25
  there's one with animals that isn't quite like this, and there was a
• 36:29
  scrapped one to do with like that was similar to Noah's Ark with like pairs
• 36:31
  of animals and stuff, but that never made it into any of the games.
• 36:36
  So oh, okay, that'll be a point there. Dang, I've
• 36:39
  got one final vault for each pair. Here we go, rule, here's
• 36:45
  your vault vault fifty six, a social experiment where the only entertainment tapes provided
• 36:52
  to the vault were the works of a particularly untalented comedian. I think I
• 36:57
  know this, Jason. I don't think this is Cannon. I don't think
• 37:02
  it's you see. I don't think you see the vault anywhere. But I
• 37:07
  think it's definitely referenced. But I don't think it's it's not when you can
• 37:10
  go into it's not when you can plain. But I think it's somewhere in
• 37:15
  like the archives that you can get a bit of understanding on the vaults.
• 37:19
  And I'm pretty confident that. But then I don't orders that count if it's
• 37:22
  not in the game. I'll read the thing. It's a franchise entry,
• 37:28
  is what I said. It's this, it's this fault within a franchise entry.
• 37:30
  This guy. Then it was in a comic book. Yeah, I'd
• 37:36
  I'd like to stake on redemption on it. Yes, okay, okay,
• 37:40
  Yeah, I'm so good about Jason Smith. Yeah, I'm yeah, you're
• 37:44
  gonna get a point because this is Cannon. This is this is real.
• 37:49
  But can you can you tell me where it appears? Um, it's a
• 37:52
  little tricksy, this one I think it is. Is it Fallout three?
• 37:59
  Let's they fall out? Well, he's saying hold on, hold on before
• 38:00
  we locked mmy, he's saying it's tricksy. So we've never discussed one or
• 38:05
  two, nor shelter nor seventy six. Oh, how do you remember hearing
• 38:14
  it from? I don't. I don't remember. I don't remember, not
• 38:17
  at all. I think, yeah, maybe it might be one of the
• 38:22
  more obscure ones. Um podcast, there's a Fallout scripted podcast, and that's
• 38:29
  all it is is the bad tapes that I mean, great idea, Bethesda,
• 38:32
  do it now. I'd listen to that podcast. Um, I swear
• 38:37
  to it's three No, and it's not three either. I'll take both answers.
• 38:40
  It's not either. It's from the official Fallout Bible, which contained a
• 38:45
  lot of things that the Wikipedia considers canon. So yeah, this was just
• 38:51
  a little fun thing where they gave out tapes that were just of only a
• 38:54
  very unfunny comedian. They kind of insinuate in the writing that it's Jerry's I
• 39:00
  Felt, which I think is funny. So there we go. What's the
• 39:05
  deal with deaf eaters? I don't even eat you after death? Death close?
• 39:13
  What are deaf? Eaters are damn? Do you want to have another?
• 39:17
  We've got the edit it. Okay, one more Vaults for sucks.
• 39:25
  Here it is Vaults seventy seven, a social experiment in which a single person
• 39:31
  inhabited the vaults alone with a crate of puppets. I'm pretty sure that's real.
• 39:37
  Yeah, I don't know if it's in any of the games. I
• 39:39
  think it's probably similar where it isn't here, it's like in fucking two or
• 39:45
  some shit. But I'm pretty shit because that's so gross and fucked up to
• 39:52
  like assume that, like, oh yeah, I'm gonna wake up and it's
• 39:54
  going to be a full community. Nope, nothing or puppets. Oh shit.
• 40:01
  Maybe it's in a It might be in a DLC. If you said
• 40:05
  which game it was, the DLC four, I'd still give you the point.
• 40:07
  I think it's in Far Harbor. I think it's which is a DLC
• 40:13
  for Fallout four. Okay, well you're true four, go true four go
• 40:16
  It is true. It is real, so definitely a point for that.
• 40:20
  It is not. It is in the short film that was made to start
• 40:25
  promoting I believe Fallout four. So there's essentially debate in there, but it's
• 40:30
  from a short film called One Man and a Creative Puppets. What was the
• 40:36
  original phrasing of the question, And if it's real, I'll give you a
• 40:39
  bonus point if you can name the franchise entry that fault appears in. Oh,
• 40:45
  I thought you said like video game or something. No, no,
• 40:47
  sorry, intentional with the words and he mentioned that I'm tricky with the words,
• 40:52
  and I am so Bestard's it's true, But I mean, you still
• 40:57
  get a point for that one. You knew it was real, And that's
• 41:00
  the end of the rounds. Like I was going to make up more,
• 41:01
  but there's that many ridiculous vaults in it that it's like I could just include
• 41:06
  all the ridiculous ones and not have to make anything up. I was hoping
• 41:08
  to trip you up with those last two, but nope, we're on it.
• 41:13
  You're on it. So that's the end of round one. Let's input
• 41:15
  the data in this terminal and calculate the latest scores. It's a good job
• 41:21
  I invested points into my science skill. Waste always Christmas, always, always
• 41:30
  for those speech checks. A little bit of lock picking because it's nice to
• 41:34
  have some loot. Okay, tunnel snakes rule are on four points, but
• 41:37
  tunnel snakes suck are on six points. Damn lick, and we're a back
• 41:43
  door. It's still early. Oh yeah, still early doors. You're right.
• 41:46
  You're right because up next this round two, brought to you by Newca
• 41:50
  Cola Quantum Now with one hundred and twenty percent of your daily recommended sugar intake.
• 41:55
  See you after these non nineteen fifties ads. Round two is called Wiki
• 42:07
  Geeks. The Fallout world is expansive with characters, weapons, items, perks,
• 42:13
  and miscellaneous law. But can our Fallout brainiacs remember that law under the
• 42:17
  concepts of both time and pressure. Let's find out in this game. I'll
• 42:22
  give our teams a category. Our captains will then write down a number predicting
• 42:28
  how many things from that category our Fallout experts will be able to list in
• 42:32
  forty five seconds. The closer you are to that number, the more points
• 42:37
  you'll get. Oh and each category has a gold plated answer, So say
• 42:42
  that answer and you will score a bonus point for your team. Okay,
• 42:45
  so I'm not going to tell you specifically what the list is, but I
• 42:49
  will say this first category is to do with the people of Fallout so it's
• 42:53
  to do with the people of Fallout. I will get more specific with that,
• 42:58
  but for now, write down a guess. How much face do you
• 43:00
  have in your experts? Okay, you've both got a number written down.
• 43:04
  Yep. We will begin with Andy and Tunnel Snakes rule. Here is your
• 43:08
  specific category, companions from either Fallout New Vegas or Fallout four. This is
• 43:15
  main games, not DLC, just companions from the main games. And your
• 43:20
  time starts as soon as you say your first answer, So whenever you're ready,
• 43:22
  Boon from Fallout New Vegas. Veronica, Um strong dog meat Raoul Um
• 43:35
  Preston gave carry curry ury um oh, Codsworth nice got ten seconds. H
• 43:50
  m hmm. I think that's a Paladin dance. Oh right in there at
• 43:55
  the end, Oh lovely Stu. I mean that was fantastic. The knowledge
• 44:00
  on display. Yeah you got by my count nine, Yeah, forty five
• 44:04
  seconds. A lot of them from four as well, a lot of them,
• 44:07
  Yeah, a lot of them from four through a few New Vegas ones
• 44:09
  in there. Um, you didn't say the gold plate, did answer?
• 44:14
  I'm afraid I was looking for Rex Rex. Yeah, the best dog,
• 44:20
  the dog from New Vegas, superior to all other dogs superior to dog meat.
• 44:24
  Yeah yeah, okay because brain, because yeah, because brain. Yeah,
• 44:29
  it's a dog with a brain in a jar on its head. But
• 44:32
  great stuff there. But let's find out how many points you'll actually be getting.
• 44:37
  Jason, I put down four. You put down four. I didn't
• 44:40
  know it would be from two games. Yeahs, last time we played this,
• 44:46
  we did both bet high, like wildly too high. We're like forty
• 44:51
  three. Yeah. Well, look there was still lots listed than you were,
• 44:54
  still within five. So it's going to be one point, you get
• 44:57
  one point. Okay, It's not whoever's closest. No, I'm just awarding
• 45:00
  points based on how close you get, okay to it? Okay, okay,
• 45:06
  we'll have another list now for Chris and sucks. Here is your specific
• 45:10
  list major or minor factions from either Fallout New Vegas or Fallout four. That's
• 45:16
  tough, you got that, Chris? Yeah yeah, all right, Okay,
• 45:23
  your time starts as soon as you give your first answer. Okay,
• 45:27
  So, Brotherhood of Steel, the Railroad, the Institute, um, the
• 45:36
  Kings from New Vegas. Um shit, there's more. Uh, the Minutemen,
• 45:45
  um, fucking the powder gangersunners. I'm not counting. I hope that's
• 45:53
  fine. Uh, I got I got him, I got him five seconds
• 45:57
  just maybe, yeah, I got that's your time, that's your time.
• 46:01
  You got six? Pretty good? Pretty good. If it was a competition
• 46:07
  of which expert knows most, then Andy would definitely take the points here.
• 46:08
  But that's not what it's about. It's about the faith of captain ship.
• 46:13
  Thank god. So Audre, what did you put? Six? Crazy?
• 46:23
  Three points? A full max three points? They're crazy? The gold plate
• 46:30
  A dancer that I was looking for, also from New Vegas is the Chairman.
• 46:34
  I was looking for the chairman, which is Benny's group, Chandler from
• 46:39
  Friends's group. Yeah, I didn't know that they had a name. M
• 46:47
  What a lame name too? Gee? Pretty bad? Come on, Matthew
• 46:53
  Perry, that's his name, not Chandler from Friends. I mean he wrote
• 46:57
  a book recently. I should remember that he hates Keanurees. Yeah, he
• 47:01
  hates everyone. That man hates a lot of things. Um, could he
• 47:06
  be any more hateful? Full three points? There? Should we should we
• 47:12
  do another round? Yea, let's do this. Let's do this. So
• 47:15
  this time I will say it is to do with items. It is broadly
• 47:20
  to do with items. Will Jason have more faith in Andy this time?
• 47:23
  I don't want to. I don't want to correct too hard. That's the
• 47:28
  that's the rough. Oh, that's a lot. That's a big number,
• 47:30
  Jason, don't be afraid to be conservative. Yeah, or cheez or geez.
• 47:38
  I'm putting big faith, big numbers. There's lots of items. Stream,
• 47:42
  there's sticks, and there's glue and well, now, hanging a second,
• 47:46
  there's there's two already. Yeah, okay, you both have numbers written
• 47:52
  down captains. Yeah, okay, Andy, your specific list is named publications
• 47:59
  from four, like three or four. So this is this is skill magazines
• 48:04
  or books or anything like that. That's an official publication from Fallout four,
• 48:10
  three or four you can have so and there's there's a huge list that I
• 48:15
  have here, so huge, huge. So whenever you're ready, Andy,
• 48:20
  I will start the timer when you give your first answer. Okay, Um,
• 48:25
  I'd go first with UM. I think it's Locksmith today from New Vegas
• 48:34
  GROGNAC, the Barbarian Standard, UM books and publication, the Waistline Survival Guide
• 48:44
  UM from that both three and four out of that count step one publication.
• 48:51
  But I'll add to five seconds ont of your time. I think it's physicians
• 48:55
  today, maybe the medicine one. Boxing time times. I love it.
• 49:02
  A um m hmm. This is difficult, it's tough. You got ten
• 49:08
  seconds, Yeah, no pressure. I think that's I think that's be done.
• 49:13
  I don't do what's using in real life. You just collect those skill
• 49:19
  points and move on. Yeah, that's I mean. But I'm I'm actually
• 49:23
  gonna I'm gonna give you four because you said boxing times. It's close enough
• 49:28
  and it made me laugh because it's pugilism illustrated. But I'd rather read the
• 49:34
  boxing time, So I'm going to give you that one as well, just
• 49:36
  because I knew you could visualize it. You could see what was happening,
• 49:39
  that there was a boxing based one. I think that's the working class version
• 49:43
  of it. It's not the point. Definitely. Your gold plated answer that
• 49:49
  I was looking for is tales of a junk town jerky vendor. O Jesus,
• 49:54
  I apologize. You could have had Chinese arm training, you could have
• 50:00
  had US army the flamethrower. Astoundingly awesome. Tales is a big one.
• 50:07
  Tumblers today, picket fences, lacoife, there's there's tons, but you got
• 50:12
  four, But what did your captain say that you got? I'll put I
• 50:15
  put down a big number. Oh yeah, but don't I put eight?
• 50:20
  Eight? Yeah? Okay, well it's still a point. You're still within
• 50:22
  five. Still point cheez Alwise we'll get there. I would just find that
• 50:27
  the sweet spots there. Yeah, absolutely, what's been between four and eight?
• 50:34
  Maybe maybe tunnel snake suck? Maybe maybe the one dose who got on
• 50:37
  this one? Maybe ultras put a different You put the same number. No,
• 50:40
  he asked, what's between four and eight? And it was my previous
• 50:44
  my previously used sheet of paper. So hopefully you didn't put too much faith
• 50:49
  in me on this one. I knew two of those. I knew two
• 50:52
  magazines. Good thing, it's going to be another category. We've got another
• 50:57
  shot at this. Okay, here is Here is your category. Greek Chris
• 51:00
  melee weapons from Fallout three or four. But none of them that are just
• 51:07
  put on the hand like a glove. They need to be something that you
• 51:08
  hold, so no brass knuckles or boxing gloves. Otherwise we'd be here all
• 51:13
  day because they were like fifty of each of those. But handheld melee weapons
• 51:19
  from three or four. Swing a bowl melae weapons will go Okay, okay,
• 51:23
  I guess stabbable in some cases. Yeah, okay, okay. Time
• 51:30
  starts whenever you say your first answer. The Chinese officer sword obviously, um,
• 51:37
  baseball bat um, the super sledge, uh, the regular sledge,
• 51:45
  Um, Jesus, the machete um or machette, depending on how you um
• 51:55
  shout out to Danny Traho M ten seconds after you shout out, um,
• 52:05
  oh, a rebar club. I think that was that's at least a New
• 52:08
  Vegas on if it's a new one, that's all I got. Yeah,
• 52:12
  that's your time, and you're right the rebar club is in New Vegas and
• 52:15
  not in the other two. Damn, but you did still say five.
• 52:17
  You listed five items there. The gold plated one I was looking for is
• 52:22
  the Shishka bab. Oh, damn, the Shishka bab. It's so good
• 52:27
  it is. It's a good weapon. But you were straight in there with
• 52:29
  the Chinese offices. Solid can't forget this one. I don't know why.
• 52:32
  That one's just right up front in my brain. I should probably talk to
• 52:37
  a therapist. Well on the line, Hey, guys, can we have
• 52:44
  some room? Actually, you can keep boarding. I need to talk to.
• 52:46
  Actually, as a half Chinese person, I'd like to stay on the
• 52:49
  line. Shit. Okay, so Chris, you said five items, but
• 52:57
  moment of truth time ultra. I'm not cheating. That's crazy. Three points.
• 53:07
  Fuck yeah, Betty, make it right. I will put that together
• 53:15
  if you do want proof. I saw it said five. That's that's very
• 53:20
  good stuff. You just I guess you know, Chris, That's that's it.
• 53:22
  I appreciate you and not over estimating what I am capable of. All
• 53:32
  right, for this final pass, we are going to flip the script.
• 53:37
  This time. Our experts are going to guess how many they think the captains
• 53:42
  who know less about Fallout than them will get. But the hint is it
• 53:45
  will be something to do with crossover knowledge, so something that tests real world
• 53:50
  knowledge outside of Fallout. So just a number from our experts, we do
• 53:55
  halfs? Can we do? Yeah? I'm all done? Awesome, alright,
• 54:02
  I'm good, sweets. Okay, we will begin with Jason. Oh
• 54:07
  real world animals. The tape is mutated versions of themselves in the Fallout series.
• 54:14
  Oh, so you're naming the real world animals that have mutated. Okay,
• 54:20
  Your time starts whenever you give your first answer. Hold on, hold
• 54:22
  on, hold on, hold on. Well, I gotta rush you on
• 54:24
  that. Okay, all right, So we've got mole rat I believe is
• 54:30
  one. Uh, tarantula hawk is one because they are kasadors. Uh,
• 54:37
  scorpions. We love the scorpions here. Uh crabs I believe of some sort,
• 54:45
  uh brad scrabs? Uh? Are there other flying creatures? Is there
• 54:52
  are like a bat of some sort? What is the deaf claw? Is
• 54:53
  that a lizard? Is that a dog? Is that you're saying lots of
• 54:57
  rex of some sort? Oh? God, I haven't played this game so
• 55:02
  long. Man is an animal? Matt the deadliest animal of the deadliest man.
• 55:13
  I'm not going to cow that one. But you did less six?
• 55:15
  You said six of them? God? Absolutely? Oh and not only that,
• 55:21
  but worth a bonus points the terrechela hawk. I had crab crab.
• 55:28
  So you're getting a bonus point for crab for sure, thank god. But
• 55:30
  let's find out how many points you'll actually be getting. Andy, What did
• 55:34
  you write down? Fine, that's worth two points. That's good six.
• 55:39
  Andy much better at predicting Jason than Jason is predicting Andy. It's all over
• 55:45
  the place. I don't go eight. It was so big. I knew
• 55:46
  it was so big. I appreciate the confidence though. It was a good
• 55:50
  boot, thank you. Yeah. And apparently the death claw is a chameleon,
• 55:55
  a mutated chameleon, according to the Wikipedia. So there we go,
• 55:59
  and sad one as well, Jess, and you said, well, animal
• 56:01
  flies, and I was singing fly something. That's what I had to you.
• 56:09
  Yeah. Something I really like in the Fallout universe is a lot of
• 56:15
  those animals would genuinely be really resistant to radiation, like cockroaches, damn cockroaches
• 56:22
  or scorpions and even naked mole rats. They're studying them for cancer research because
• 56:27
  they just are unaffected by radiation. They cannot get cancer. They're just like
• 56:31
  m They're one of the only fleshy creatures because bugs, a lot of bugs
• 56:37
  are luck It's it's a bit Joe Rogan. But if you want to kill
• 56:39
  cancer, eat a mule, right, I guess we're not that type of
• 56:44
  podkay, Yes, sorry, sprinkle it with turm and then you go run
• 56:46
  the hills. Oh hi, Joe, welcome to the podcast. Have you
• 56:52
  ever tried jiu jitsu? I'm not about that life anymore. Guys, Okay,
• 57:00
  I'm performed. Sorry for calling you out, So we will move over
• 57:07
  to our final list for Audra musical artists who appear on the radio in the
• 57:12
  Fallout series. I'm feeling kind of confident because there's one. There's one radio
• 57:21
  station, the Diamond City Radio station. They thought it's like the forties,
• 57:25
  So I'm just going to name a bunch of like forties and early fifties.
• 57:30
  All right, Your time stops whenever you start listing things Andrew's sisters, Billie
• 57:36
  Holiday, Nat King, Cole Being Crosby, Oh, Danny Kay, Glenn
• 57:45
  millerists, um ah, and then I and then I exhausted my knowledge.
• 57:59
  Fuck, there's some there's somebody else sneaking in at the end is ink.
• 58:04
  There's something about ink. Yeah, I mean yeah, you are right,
• 58:07
  it's the ink spots. Okay, I'm not gonna give you it though,
• 58:12
  because you just said something about ink, Andy something, it's relevant. Shall
• 58:17
  let me just check my massive list of forty names. Andy s who's like
• 58:22
  a big band. I don't think he sang. Yeah, I'm not seeing
• 58:25
  that one. They say, Glenn Miller. The time's over. Yeah,
• 58:28
  yeah, the time's up. But you did by my account, your name
• 58:30
  six. You didn't get the goal plate answer, which was Louis Armstrong.
• 58:36
  Oh I was looking forward. I think to myself, what a wonderful world?
• 58:38
  What do we find ourselves in? But you said six, Chris,
• 58:43
  what number did you have written down? Oh? Oh, you can't really
• 58:46
  see it. It's seven seven fall out seven and six seventy six. Hey,
• 58:53
  okay, so that's two points, two points the Tunnel Snakes suck.
• 58:59
  It's a sign where to start playing follow seventy six. Now we have to
• 59:02
  we all have to get it together and play it all together. No Audra
• 59:10
  shutting that inevitability down. Fine, whatever, y'all can do what you are.
• 59:17
  Okay, that's the end of the round. Let's ask one of our
• 59:21
  companions to calculate the scores while they're a dog, a supermutant and a floating
• 59:25
  radio. So that'd be a waste of time. Here are the scores.
• 59:30
  I've got them here. Tunnel Snakes rule are on ten points. The Tunnel
• 59:34
  Snakes Suck are in the lead with fourteen points. Okay, I thought the
• 59:37
  lead was going to be more. If I'm gonna be on I think it
• 59:39
  was that goal plated answer. It was saying crab that honestly has put your
• 59:44
  back up there. It's always Crab's always crabs. Round three next, but
• 59:47
  first we've got to play another set of smart ads. Strangely, they didn't
• 59:52
  have smart ads in twenty seventy six. Maybe they're the thing protecting us from
• 59:55
  nuclear war. So quick listen to these ads to stop the bombs from dropping.
• 1:00:07
  Round three is called IMDb Trivia, which today stands for Institute Minutemen drail
• 1:00:13
  Road Brotherhood. It almost works, it's so close to working. In this
• 1:00:17
  game, I will present our teams with a board of seemingly disconnected words.
• 1:00:22
  Each word corresponds to a trivia question about the Fallout franchise. Get it right
• 1:00:28
  and you get a point. Get it wrong and nothing happens. This is
• 1:00:31
  a fairly low stakes game. So here's the board. Oh it's not a
• 1:00:37
  butthole. No, so regular listeners will know that the last several had been
• 1:00:40
  a gaping anus. But the comedy rule of threes, I decide to do
• 1:00:45
  it twice, and we'll do it once for a callback later. This is
• 1:00:50
  just a regular board which I will read them out in case it's not carrying
• 1:00:52
  via zoom. So your words are fridge original Computer Governor Sound and raw.
• 1:01:05
  I'll begin with a team in last place, which just so happens to be
• 1:01:07
  tunnel Snakes Rule, so it's the team that has been going first. Anyway,
• 1:01:10
  Jason, Andy, any of these words enticing you? For me,
• 1:01:15
  Andy, Fridge is enticing me because I was a bit of trivia. Okay,
• 1:01:19
  Yeah, Bridge sounds like a bit of it, all right, all
• 1:01:22
  right, well Fridge, this is where we sink. Okay, here's your
• 1:01:28
  question about fridge. In Fallout four, when traveling around the Quincy area in
• 1:01:34
  the game, a fridge can be found with a ghoul child inside who has
• 1:01:37
  been trapped since the bombs fell. This is a reference to which highly scrutinized
• 1:01:42
  two thousand and eight movie ahead. Is it a the happening b Indiana Jones
• 1:01:47
  and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or C. Hancock? We know it?
• 1:01:54
  Yeah? Are we both an agreement that it's b Yeah? Yeah.
• 1:01:58
  It would have been very funny if you said, are we both in agreement
• 1:02:00
  that it's Hancock? Yeah, there's absolutely it is Indiana Jones in the Kingdom
• 1:02:07
  of the Crystal Skull, where Indie survives by sitting in a fridge. Yeah,
• 1:02:12
  sitting in a fridge. I think that's not the only game that references
• 1:02:15
  that either. I think another Fallout game has it. It's like a recurring
• 1:02:19
  gag then fall Out you Vegas does when you've got the Wild wish Land perk.
• 1:02:23
  Oh, yeah, that's an indie in a fridge and you get his
• 1:02:27
  fedora. Yeah. I didn't know that. I mean, they clearly want
• 1:02:30
  to dunk on that movie, and they're right to do so. Okay,
• 1:02:36
  suck word. I could just switch to monosyllabic deliveries on this podcast. Suck
• 1:02:42
  word now, Yes, false, Um, it's raw. I sorry with
• 1:02:51
  your accent, I thought you said raw like R A W. And I
• 1:02:53
  was like, yes, it's it's raw like in the sound of an animal
• 1:02:58
  makes not raw as a raw dog. Appreciate Thank you for clarifying that.
• 1:03:04
  In that case, I won't go for a raw anything sticking out to you
• 1:03:08
  computer or sound, I'd be down. I'd be down for sound. Let's
• 1:03:15
  go for sound. Okay, let's get crazy. Yes, let's get sound.
• 1:03:21
  Here's your question about sound. In Fallout three, the sound that is
• 1:03:24
  played when a mini nuke is fired is also the sound used for what is
• 1:03:30
  it a The error sound used at programmers workstations at Bethesda Studios. B the
• 1:03:37
  tone used as the fire alarm at Bethesda Studios during fire drills, or see
• 1:03:43
  a bell at Bethesda Studios used to let employees know it's time for lunch.
• 1:03:47
  It's a bit of a guest, but I'm leaning towards A. I don't
• 1:03:50
  know what what are you? Yeah? A feels right because if it was
• 1:03:53
  the fire drill sound, what if it came out of someone's computer, you
• 1:03:55
  don't want to like, yeah, really startle someone. There's just some coked
• 1:04:00
  out programmer. He's like sitting at his desk for the entire time while fires
• 1:04:04
  burning behind him because he's like I've heard that. I've been desensitized to this
• 1:04:10
  sound in the game. Hey, justin how how's the fat Man code?
• 1:04:13
  Looking at it, I don't know, i'd go, yeah, let's go
• 1:04:18
  A. Yeah, sorry, I've just realized Fatman's the name of the nun
• 1:04:21
  a character and gain Sorry you're saying A. The error sound used that programmers
• 1:04:28
  workstations at Bethesta Studios. It's not it is. They used it as the
• 1:04:32
  lunch bell. Yeah, let them know it was time for lunch. Yeah,
• 1:04:36
  who does that? I know. Guess it's more the lunch bell thing
• 1:04:44
  that's kind of weirding me out at work, Like, yeah, the fact
• 1:04:46
  that it's a room full of fully grown adults. Yeah, I'm telling you,
• 1:04:50
  Justin's clocked out, man, He's he's coked out, he's overworked,
• 1:04:55
  he has no idea what to eat. Todd's on his back every day.
• 1:04:59
  Fair, damn it. Okay for words left on the board original outer governor
• 1:05:06
  raw, Thank you, Ardra. I was leaning towards I don't know anything
• 1:05:11
  about a governor, but I like the word governor. I find that intriguing.
• 1:05:14
  I don't know. Yeah, I was either going to say governor or
• 1:05:16
  raw and be honest with you, So I'm happy to go going governor.
• 1:05:20
  Yeah, Okay, here's your question about governor. When Fallout seventy six was
• 1:05:26
  announced, interest in the state of West Virginia peaked. But what did the
• 1:05:30
  governor do in response to capitalize on the sudden popularity? Is it? A
• 1:05:35
  declared the game's release date, November fourteenth, as the official reclamation day for
• 1:05:41
  the state, b named one of the main roads in Charleston, seventy sixth
• 1:05:45
  Street, or ce. He took the opportunity to sing take Me Home,
• 1:05:49
  Country Roads, the song used for the trailer. At one of his press
• 1:05:54
  conferences, Oh, man, B is too innocuous, especially if there's already
• 1:06:00
  a seventy fifth and seventy seventh street. Yeah, exactly, so if there's
• 1:06:05
  an actual seventy sixth street. These Americans just naming streets after numbers. It's
• 1:06:10
  so unarranged. Absolutely, I could see see happening because it's so cringe and
• 1:06:19
  it's something a politician would do. But I could also A is very cringe
• 1:06:24
  as well, for similar reasons. That's what one of the answers was going
• 1:06:27
  to be. Trying to nuke it. Um, well, that's that's not
• 1:06:32
  on the cards foot Day unfortunately. No. So the first one was naming
• 1:06:39
  it Reclamation Day in honor, yes, which is in itself abysmal idea um.
• 1:06:45
  And then C was singing country roads. Yes, yeah, ah,
• 1:06:50
  yeah, I think you're right to discount B. I think that's very sorry,
• 1:06:56
  But I do think it's very American. Like Matt said, to name
• 1:06:59
  you, yeah, it's very nonsensical. Um. Yeah, I'm happy to
• 1:07:03
  go with maybe. I'm thinking maybe c C Yeah, thinking country roads.
• 1:07:11
  Yeah. Yeah, what do you feel about that? Jason, when your
• 1:07:13
  your opinion on that. I do feel good about that. Again, I
• 1:07:16
  very yeah said that it's it's cringe. Both our answers are cringe, and
• 1:07:20
  that's what a politician does. I feel like a is very possible but also
• 1:07:26
  so asinine because that's so close to like a purge day, like that's that's
• 1:07:30
  like an announcing day like that. Yeah yeah, yeah, but c is
• 1:07:34
  good because it's that that nice level of safe cringe. It is. It
• 1:07:39
  is the cringe that a politician would do, but it's not the cringe that
• 1:07:42
  this politician did. I'm so sorry. It was a it was a name
• 1:07:45
  it reclamation day. Yeah yeah, yeahikes, sorry, board was upside down.
• 1:07:54
  Okay, governor is gone. You have original computer or raw? How
• 1:08:00
  do you feeling about original? I'm feeling good about it because it evens up
• 1:08:03
  the sides that have been selected. On each side, I have no other
• 1:08:11
  connection. We got to keep the board nice and tidy. So yeah,
• 1:08:15
  nicey nice. So it's I mean, it's pretty obvious that I'm NEU A
• 1:08:18
  divergent based on how this podcast is, but it's nice to play with fellow
• 1:08:23
  in your A division. No, we need to even this out. So
• 1:08:29
  the board nice and balanced. Here is original which one of the following is
• 1:08:33
  a genuine random encounter from the original nineteen ninety seven Fallout game. Is it
• 1:08:40
  A a blue police box in the middle of the desert that disappears as you
• 1:08:44
  approach it. B three people in Starfleet uniform that disappear as you approach them.
• 1:08:49
  Or see two blue tinted force ghosts that disappear as you approach them.
• 1:08:55
  The start the B sounds vaguely familiar to me, and like original Fallout fans,
• 1:09:02
  they're gonna be track E's all right, no shade jes Yeah, I
• 1:09:12
  don't know what do you like? That feels like the most likely because it's
• 1:09:16
  like a futuristic thing and like the starfl you know, they could come and
• 1:09:21
  check out this Earth, this version of historical Earth can do it. You
• 1:09:26
  guys really fucked up this one. This timeline but the timeline doctor who that's
• 1:09:33
  true? Shit, that's also true. Don't try to contain with Yeah,
• 1:09:41
  all the beautiful isometric features on a box on a on a cube, don't
• 1:09:45
  try to get in my head. Yeah, what the fuck, dude,
• 1:09:49
  don't even This is why the this is why the tunnel snakes suck. Okay,
• 1:09:57
  Um, well, Chris, you know those isometric graphics are gonna look
• 1:10:00
  great on a blue blue police box corners the perspective. Honestly, I'm down
• 1:10:05
  for whichever one I'm I'm let's let's not let's not let them influence us.
• 1:10:12
  Let's stick with Starfleet. St Oh you should have let him influence Yeah?
• 1:10:16
  Doctor who? God damn it, God fuck you, Jason. I'm thinking
• 1:10:23
  you would have been wrong completely blaming you for this. I might. Did
• 1:10:29
  you know that, Jackson? Nope? I did, and I was sweating.
• 1:10:36
  I was like, please please stop stop giving them the right answer.
• 1:10:44
  You could just rely on my defiance. Yea. All right, there's gonna
• 1:10:50
  be one final question for each team, and like all times in life,
• 1:10:54
  it's come down to either computer or roll. I'll let you choose this one,
• 1:10:59
  Andy, I'm thing then we do like Shrek and do the raw reference.
• 1:11:04
  Okay, your question about raw is Thus the rows of the death clause
• 1:11:11
  in the Fallout franchise have been reused, as werewolf growls in Skyrim. But
• 1:11:15
  from what animal did they originally record these rows from? Is it a lions,
• 1:11:21
  B tigers or C bears? Oh? My, I legitimately do not
• 1:11:30
  know this one. I honestly thought it was going to be something like really
• 1:11:33
  mad, like the a turtle or something like that. Yeah, like a
• 1:11:36
  chameleon. Yeah, so that's gonna be a tiny animals sort of like to
• 1:11:41
  try and you were way, but I'd probably think me, I don't know
• 1:11:45
  what it is with me and See, but I think bears maybe more likely.
• 1:11:47
  But that's how Matt works sometimes, isn't it. It is? Well,
• 1:11:51
  I know that Chewbaca's sounds going from a bear, okay, came from
• 1:11:57
  a bear? It was the sounds from Chewbacca. Is what a death clause?
• 1:12:00
  Is that what you thought? I was gonna say, no, but
• 1:12:02
  I know Chewbacca's sounds came from a bear. Does a deaf clause sound like
• 1:12:06
  a Chewbacca to you? It's one of life's greatest questions. Though. Do
• 1:12:15
  you want to throw a Chewbacca impression down for us just so listeners know what
• 1:12:19
  you're talking about? I haven't. Okay, Well then mm hmmmmmm. Yeah,
• 1:12:26
  I'm pretty good. Pretty good because everyone does like the Growley one,
• 1:12:30
  the gurgle, yeah, but I can't do that gurgle. Yeah. Anyways,
• 1:12:33
  Uh yeah, I'm fine to go to see because I have no fucking
• 1:12:36
  clue. Basically, not got any sort of one that you're leaning towards.
• 1:12:40
  Jason, No, be honest, No, not really at all. Andy
• 1:12:44
  bear bears as good to me as it is to you. Um, right
• 1:12:50
  now, Andy's doubting himself. Does it doesn't feel right now? That's the
• 1:12:55
  issue. He was hoping that something would feel. I like tiger because tiger
• 1:13:02
  is an underrated animal in terms of roars. We all, we've all heard
• 1:13:04
  a lion roar because of MGM, Yeah, that classic lion roar. I
• 1:13:11
  feel like tiger is like, what does tiger even sound like? It's not
• 1:13:15
  sound like a lion? Why do we go tiger? Then? Yeah?
• 1:13:19
  Casually casually going tiger? It is tiger. Yes, that's excellent. Like
• 1:13:28
  I think it's a bear. I don't like it. Okay, I'm holding
• 1:13:34
  up the board, but for no reason, because there is only one word
• 1:13:38
  left in that world is computer. So I think we're going to choose computer.
• 1:13:42
  Yeah, you know what, I guess we'll go with that one.
• 1:13:44
  Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, are you feeling anything else? Kind
• 1:13:47
  of? But you know whatever, it's fine. I'm in Fallout two Polo
• 1:13:53
  tapes reveal, which fictional computer is responsible for the nuclear war? Is it
• 1:13:59
  a how nine thousand B Max Headroom or ce sky Net? Well, my
• 1:14:05
  first thought was definitely how that was also my first thought, but like I
• 1:14:11
  it was just the also the first computer that I thought of, So that's
• 1:14:15
  all I'm basing that off of. Yeah, I just what are they referencing
• 1:14:21
  skynets from, like the from like Terminator and shit, right, I don't
• 1:14:26
  what's the second one from? Oh? Um, Max Headroom is the Well,
• 1:14:30
  the one that I know is like um breaking onto waves and it was
• 1:14:33
  just like a weird video of a guy who like broke onto the air waves,
• 1:14:36
  like the Max Headroom scandal. Bray Wyatt kind of parodied it with his
• 1:14:42
  new guy that he came back. As I know, Max Headroom is also
• 1:14:46
  something else, but I just don't know what it is. Let's go with
• 1:14:48
  how I Yeah, that's my instinct as well, and it was also yours.
• 1:14:54
  So that's always going to be right, even no matter what Matt says,
• 1:14:58
  because we're we're right, We're right. Our friendship that's what makes this
• 1:15:03
  right. Right. Well, whatever whatever bs Cannon you've just made up is
• 1:15:08
  fine between the two of you, But as far as this game is concerned.
• 1:15:10
  You've got the answer wrong. No point there. It was Skynet kind
• 1:15:16
  of undoing all of the law that is written about feuding US and Chinese governments
• 1:15:21
  and everything like that. There's a whole tape in Fallout two that's just like,
• 1:15:25
  yeah, there was a fault with Skynet and it caused the nukes to
• 1:15:27
  get fired. Oh but it is cannon damn interesting. Well fall Out too,
• 1:15:35
  you know whatever, terrible, It's fine, all right, that's the
• 1:15:41
  end of the round. Let's use mister House to calculate the latest scores.
• 1:15:45
  He doesn't like it when I push his buttons. Okay, well, actually
• 1:15:50
  it's gotten a bit close because the tunnel snakes rule gained some ground in that
• 1:15:55
  they're on twelve points. Okay, tunnel snakes stuck. Tunnel snakes suck are
• 1:16:00
  still on fourteen points. It's close. Don't like it, don't here for
• 1:16:06
  it. This is still anyone's game. But before we get to our final
• 1:16:12
  quick fire around, let's talk prizes. This episode. Star prize is the
• 1:16:16
  concept of war, because war, war ever changes, and we could all
• 1:16:20
  use a little consistency in life, don't you think. Isn't that nice that
• 1:16:24
  war ever changes death destruction. It's so good something you can count on,
• 1:16:28
  its dependable, dependable, love a bit of war. Okay, But our
• 1:16:35
  winning team will also receive a copy of Fallout seventy six, signed by Robert
• 1:16:42
  Oppenheimer. Don't don't ask, don't ask me how that happened. That's Killian
• 1:16:47
  Murphy, right, yeah, yeah, signed by Killian Murphy. He was
• 1:16:51
  very confused when I thrust it in his face. Up next is our crucial
• 1:16:58
  quick fire around. But first we must to play one final set of ads
• 1:17:01
  and try not to think about how they're selling you a lifestyle instead of a
• 1:17:05
  product. Yeah, the nineteen fifties never ended. We just stopped wearing poodle
• 1:17:10
  skirts. Our final quick fire round will test your broader pop culture knowledge.
• 1:17:23
  And it's called pop culture, but it's pop as in soda, as in
• 1:17:28
  beverage, as in muca cola. That's the linkier. In this game,
• 1:17:32
  I will give our players clues to a fictional beverage from pop culture history.
• 1:17:38
  Those clues will be delivered in the style of an old timey Fallout radio host,
• 1:17:43
  So I've got to quickly decide what that's going to be. Oh,
• 1:17:46
  and there's of course a classic gate Leaper's twist. As you say your answer,
• 1:17:50
  I'm going to needs you to say it like you're satisfied drinking it,
• 1:17:55
  so you need to follow it up with like a mmm, it's delicious.
• 1:18:00
  Just some kind of satisfied drinking thing. There we go, mister pib said,
• 1:18:06
  no one ever. Yeah, it's quick fire, so buzz in by
• 1:18:13
  yelling out your team name, which is confusing for the first time in Gateleaper's
• 1:18:16
  history. Tunnel Snakes suck. So I'm just gonna yell suck. I think
• 1:18:23
  that's the best practice here. I think we're gonna have to go with rule
• 1:18:26
  and suck. I have thought of like a pop culture drink and I can't.
• 1:18:30
  I was like, oh no, this one might come up. What's
• 1:18:33
  the name, what's the name? What's the name? And I cannot think
• 1:18:35
  of it. If it comes up, I'm gonna be so mad. Okay,
• 1:18:39
  well, let's at myself, not at you already stressing out. Here's
• 1:18:45
  an example for you. If I said, listen up, folks, this
• 1:18:48
  one's magic. I can't wait to find myself in hogsmeat this winter so I
• 1:18:53
  can have a tall glasses stuck. Yeah, it's gonna be Jason I think,
• 1:18:58
  mmmm, yes, butter beer. It is butter beer from from the
• 1:19:02
  Harry Potter universe. You can interrupt me at any points as I'm reading the
• 1:19:05
  question. Let's start the timer. Here we go. You're listening to kbb
• 1:19:11
  L Radio live from Springfield, any State. And yes, Chris buzz cola.
• 1:19:17
  Yeah, Oh, you didn't sound very satisfied that I can't point.
• 1:19:24
  I'm so sorry. It was the lag of zoom well played. I think
• 1:19:31
  it'll l act as a cautionary tale for the rest of this round, and
• 1:19:34
  I'm sure everyone will be satisfied by their beverages going forward. Is the next
• 1:19:39
  one. You're listening to a radio lost Santos, and when I'm cruising down
• 1:19:43
  my satires of American cities murdering sex workers, I like to drink a tall
• 1:19:47
  can of I don't know this no rule. Yes, Jason, hmm,
• 1:19:54
  that's so good. The way that grand theft Auto San Andreas Coca Cola's it's
• 1:20:01
  the right property, but it's not the beverage. Anyone want to take the
• 1:20:06
  team, want to take a guess at the beverage and the angry clock,
• 1:20:10
  Uh sucks, crime soda. It's not crime soda. Yeah, it is
• 1:20:17
  a sprunk. Oh sprunk. Hey, if you ever find yourself on a
• 1:20:24
  moisture farm in Tatowine after a hard day's work, store yourself. Yes,
• 1:20:29
  Chris, blue milk. It is blue milks, and that's the noise I
• 1:20:36
  make when I drink things, so you can you just because sounds a little
• 1:20:43
  sexual doesn't mean that I'm not still enjoying it. It's a kind of satisfied.
• 1:20:47
  So yeah, why if I were a young hobbit in an old forest,
• 1:20:53
  you best believe I'd be paring myself some of this. It even makes
• 1:20:56
  you grow taller. Oh damn it, Yes, Uldra or Chris, I
• 1:21:01
  was gonna do ent wash yum. I can't remember ent washes the river,
• 1:21:12
  So I'm not going to give you a draft. God, yeah, yeah,
• 1:21:15
  I needed to hear ent draft first. I'm so sorry. Damn don't
• 1:21:19
  ask me where this next product comes from. You'd have to go to the
• 1:21:23
  year three thousands. Yes, Andy Slum, Yes, drinking from the fallout
• 1:21:32
  mug once again pulling up my heart strings. I'd give you a bonus point
• 1:21:35
  if it was part of the format. It's like you were waiting for Sloan
• 1:21:40
  to come up. I really was I was not going into this. You
• 1:21:45
  can relax. You got one. Now, here's the next one. A
• 1:21:48
  drink invented by the ex president of the Galaxy. I'll be sure to have
• 1:21:53
  my towel handy to mop up any mess. Fucking house sucks. Not your
• 1:21:58
  team name but Shure. Sorry. Um, this is the one that I
• 1:22:02
  can't remember the name of, but I'm oh fuck. Pangalactic gargle Blast Yum
• 1:22:11
  yum is fine by me? Is a pan Galactic goggle Blast? What is
• 1:22:15
  it? What is that? Even from Yaks guy? Oh shit? I
• 1:22:20
  was like, gargle Blaster is all I can remember, and I was like
• 1:22:25
  glitching out, just like fall Out seventy six. Yeah, in a brand.
• 1:22:31
  In order to consume this beverage, you'll have to boldly go where no
• 1:22:34
  man has gone before. And trust me, after just one glass, you'll
• 1:22:40
  reject your time of awakening. Nope, I don't. I don't know nothing
• 1:22:45
  in the room. I don't know. I know what that is from?
• 1:22:48
  Yes, Chris Star Trek coat color. Yeah, No, this is romulan
• 1:22:58
  ale Ale. Where does that even come from? Gross a few track He's
• 1:23:05
  just being like, come on, come on, guys. Sorry, Star
• 1:23:11
  Wars fans and this I was I should have gotten the blue milk one.
• 1:23:15
  I was such a big fat star wars nerd that I was like, it's
• 1:23:19
  probably Jawa juice and Mats stray to trick us. Would he ever do that?
• 1:23:26
  The latest delicious drink from Giant Country, This green fizzy drink will have
• 1:23:30
  you feeling brilliant, fantastic and gay suck. Yes, Christ mountain dew.
• 1:23:41
  It's a lovely funny answer, but it's not mountain dew. I'll throw it
• 1:23:45
  off to your opponents. For Matt, what is going on? Nothing on
• 1:23:48
  this one? No, this is this is Frob Scottle from the BFG.
• 1:23:54
  Oh now now okay we'll move on. Oh wait, I Gregor in that
• 1:24:00
  movie? Was that a different Giant movie? Maybe there's a lot of Giant
• 1:24:08
  movies for me? I think was Jim Carey? Maybe? Maybe? Oh
• 1:24:13
  Jim once again. Listeners screaming at the podcast email us link in the show
• 1:24:18
  notes good promotion. Okay, God flashes before your eyes. Are you a
• 1:24:24
  Scottish time traveler from a mysterious island trying to win over your ex father in
• 1:24:28
  law? Then you need a glass of rules. Yes, Andy, I
• 1:24:34
  am bru yum yum. It's another good guess. And Chris and and that
• 1:24:41
  you should talk more. That's a good link in humor between your mountain dew
• 1:24:44
  and iron Brew answers. You don't know that they were very similar, but
• 1:24:45
  they're very similar. And by the way, you both know that iron brew
• 1:24:50
  and mountain dew are real, right, you both know that they're real.
• 1:24:54
  I did not know. Okay, okay, uh islander choice? I don't
• 1:25:00
  know. Do you know what? It's the same? Where not? It's
• 1:25:03
  from no time travel? Was the doctor who because this tenant Scottish. This
• 1:25:11
  is McCutcheon whiskey from lost Oh, I was trying to think of whiskey.
• 1:25:15
  But um lagavulin is they make it? That's real? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:25:20
  that's a real one. Okay, it's not. It's there's a few more,
• 1:25:23
  but it's not getting much easier. Let's go expect nothing short of immortality
• 1:25:28
  with a glass of this mythic beverage. This truly is the drink of the
• 1:25:32
  gods. Yes, ultra nectar, yea, it is nectar or ambrosia,
• 1:25:40
  one of those two Greek mythology drinks technically fictional unless it really all happened.
• 1:25:45
  Oh it did, then you don't get a point. Yeah. If confirmed
• 1:25:55
  book retroactive, Yeah, I'll look forward to that freshly brewed on the ducks
• 1:26:02
  of rifting. This family owned business bottles. It's I think I'm gonna go
• 1:26:09
  with Andy there. I think Andy is just like literally a second. Oh,
• 1:26:15
  I've got in my head. I know what it is. I know
• 1:26:16
  what it is. Can I can? I can I pick it up?
• 1:26:18
  No? Not, that is it? Honey, honey. It's rifted,
• 1:26:27
  Andy, It's rifted. So it's a specific one I think is what Matt's
• 1:26:30
  going for. Yeah, that's I'm going to pick it up as his teammate.
• 1:26:34
  You've let this head, I have let this happened before, so I'm
• 1:26:38
  gonna happen. Is it black briar medium? It is black briar? Yeah,
• 1:26:44
  yeah, damn that's right. That's right. Chris. You shut the
• 1:26:47
  fuck up over there. You're losing so hard in this round. It's terrible.
• 1:26:56
  Okay, and quick before the buzz the drink of choice for the Vada
• 1:27:00
  area, place a bet on this lucky beverage and build masks. Yeah,
• 1:27:05
  I think yeah. I buzzed in and then a panicked you got it.
• 1:27:13
  Nuca Cola yum. It's not New Cocola. It's why I panicked, not
• 1:27:17
  because I buzz. Okay, Eddie's got it. Then, Yes, sunsets
• 1:27:24
  Sasparilla Yum yum. Yes, it is sunset saspa yum yum. Indeed,
• 1:27:30

• 1:27:38
  Before we get to the final scores, i'd like to thank our players.
• 1:27:41
  You've all survived the wasteland of this highly esoteric game show. Well done.
• 1:27:45
  Thanks guys, Yeah, we know you. Well done. Chris, you're
• 1:27:49
  a good boy. Together we can do anything. M Andy, you're hilarious,
• 1:27:56
  you're witty, you're fantastic. But I also believe you have a lovely
• 1:27:59
  dog named Maple. Where can our listeners follow Maple's journey? Yes, yeah,
• 1:28:04
  it's probably better to follow Maple than me on any social media. She
• 1:28:08
  lives in life than me, but she's on Instagram as the marvelous miss Maple.
• 1:28:15
  That is missin unmarried. She's an unmarried female dog looking for suitors.
• 1:28:23
  Because we do have a few male dogs who listen to this excellent well,
• 1:28:27
  put them into tell them to follow. Okay, will do, will do?
• 1:28:30
  Linked to that will be in the description Chris anything to promote any goodwill?
• 1:28:35
  Um you can. You can follow my wife's crocheting instagram at half double
• 1:28:42
  docent. Yes, she's just like crushing it making things all the time.
• 1:28:48
  So I personally have no craft or or hobby or I just play New Vegas.
• 1:28:56
  That's all I do. I play follow for It or any Vegas And
• 1:29:00
  honestly if we if we lose, is going to be pretty embarrassing. Sure
• 1:29:06
  links to both of those instas in the show notes. Do follow Andy's dog
• 1:29:12
  Maple, the cutest dog in the world. And yeah, follow Jen's Instagram
• 1:29:15
  as always great stuff going on there. Oh yeah, I didn't say her
• 1:29:19
  name, Jen? Yeah yeah, yeah. Let regular listeners know who Jen
• 1:29:25
  is. The current gate Leapers champion question mark or did Drew take it?
• 1:29:29
  I think Drew Tuck. That's just the linear championship. That's a little little
• 1:29:34
  side thing. Okay, And a huge thank you to Ash and Adam Wood

• 1:29:53
  Okay, let's get to it. Here are the final scores. It
• 1:29:56
  went back and forth throughout that quick fire around points being gained for both teams.
• 1:30:00
  But the final scores of this Tunnel Snakes Suck question mark Suck Suck finish
• 1:30:08

  Gate leapers and look, if you do it, consider it as paying it
• 1:36:55
  forward for someone else who can't pay. It's it's you going hey for every
• 1:36:59
  time I chip them three fifty every month, it's doing it for another listener.
• 1:37:03
  And if you think of it like that, it's like it's one seventy
• 1:37:05
  five a month per person. That's a good one. For legal purposes,
• 1:37:09
  it is three three fifty will be removed from your bank account every month.
• 1:37:13
  Yes, for legal clarification, they tell you not to promote things in that
• 1:37:16
  way by explicitly stating that it is money leaving the person's bank account. But
• 1:37:20
  I believe that everyone we're speaking to as a grown up who knows what they're
• 1:37:24
  doing and can freely make the choices. And that's a good way to think.
• 1:37:28
  And that's yeah. Now if you absolutely cannot, you can still.
