  Speaker 1: to speak, that people obsessed over ultra. Where's your Shakespeare

  Speaker 2: Very Shakespearean.

  Speaker 4: Yes, I did that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: On purpose to distract from the quality of my answers.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I've read the Biggins, and I know general summaries of

• 2:39
  Speaker 3: knowledge of Shakespeare.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Good good.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I think some of the adaptations might come up later. Yeah, yeah, this,

  Speaker 1: This could be good, This could be good. Megan, what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: about yourself a fan.

  Speaker 5: knows more about Shakespeare than I do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: I've you know, I've read some of them. I've been
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: cast in a couple I think.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: So I have done some Shakespeare. That was a long
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: time ago, though I was in college. Still counts, okay.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: It counts. Yeah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: We cannot discount college accomplishments.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Would I would have so little. We need to keep
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: those Internet good good good. I love the language, big
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: fan of the language. I studied that, probably more than
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I've studied Shakespeare itself. Just Elizabethan language. Nice, okay, And
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: you know the form of the improvised Shakespeare form. Obviously
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: a huge fan. But I like people to know you
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: don't have to be an expert on Shakespeare in.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Order to try out the form.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay, Shakespeare form it sure like it helps,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: But I haven't had nearly enough time to, like ram
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: my head with enough Shakespeare knowledge to impress anybody today,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: So lower those expectations.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's good that that's where you're at in terms of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: shakespeare An improv because that's how this podcast works. In

• 6:38
  Speaker 2: fan of the Bod, big fan, big fan.

  Speaker 7: like I'm going to forget everything I know once we
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: started doing this. But I did study him a lot
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: in college, and I went to England and also studied

  Speaker 1: person beats here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe Oh no, well, we'll see.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: I feel like a lot of what I know is
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: just because of conversations I have with Kristin, or she's like,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: did you know?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And then I learned something.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: We had a great fun fact just before we hit records. Yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: so we know you're full of fun facts. Kristin, do
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you obviously again, Yeah, let's say, let's say it again.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: For the listeners, can I say pussy on this show?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Pussy?
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Yay?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: How much you do about nothing is a pun? Nothing
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: means nothing, right, Like, oh, you're making a big deal
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: about like about nothing? Nothing is also slag in that
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: time for pussy. So much do about nothing has a
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: double meaning. And that you guys are all freaking out
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: about pussy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like that hasn't changed, Like over all
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: of time, everybody freaks out about pussy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always what you do about nothing?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Why he's so transcendent speaking to us in this era
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Reaching through time.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: He's funny, He's like he I think the thing I
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: want people to know the most about Shakespeare is like
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: usually you're like, oh, we're very fancy, and I'm like
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: in a way, but also much do about nothing or
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: any of the like comic relief characters making dirty jokes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Like, he's a fun time too.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: He's funny. We've got to give it to him. He's funny.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I gotta give it to that. God he's not getting
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: enough accolades. Yeah, this guy called Shakespeare. It's kind of
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a hot new thing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Teams, you've rocked up at the Globe Theater,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: ready to perform as an exciting new duo of players. However,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: your troop of two will need some branding before you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: tread the ethereal audio boards of podcasting.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Ooh, prestigious.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So I'd like each pad to come up with a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Shakespeare themed team name. Please, let's start with Ultra and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Megan got any ideas.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: We had a couple at a bonfire last night.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: He still smells like smokes, yes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Because I didn't. I did not shower after that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: I showered this morning, but I did not wash my hair.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Most of the A lot of times I will go
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: for a cheap joke of trying to put slut or
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: whore into like a word within the fandom. But Puck
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: is a character from Shakespeare. And so last night we had.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Bunnies. Puck bunnies. Was that's really good?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: I liked I liked the Bard bitches Barne.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I like Puck Bunnies just as much.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I think there was a few Puck puck off. Oh,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: that's really good, Pucking Wilding mild.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think that's a book.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Don't look it up.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: But I do like Puck Bunnies. Puck Buddies is one
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: of the nies. We'll go with that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Puck Bunnies, all right, that's that's your team name, puck
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Bunnies Unite. Just puck Bunnies. That's what I'm writing down,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: puck bunnies. That's a hockey thing, right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: It sounds like I could be it is.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I do think it's a term for someone who wants
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: to fuck a hockey player, like a green yes, hockey groupie,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: but also is relevant thematically.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So relevant, yes, And it sounds like funk, which is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: very funny.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: It does. Wait, what.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Fantastic? So we have the puck Bunnies. Let's find out
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: who they'll be facing Kristen.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, we didn't talk about this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: He actually did.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: We did, and I've been sitting on it for two months.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. I'm okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: It bodes well that you forgot, because I want to
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: see your reaction to it. Again. We are if Kristin
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: so chooses to accept Rosen Chris and guild and stuff.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: That's so good. Yeah, we just talked about this. I'm
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: really really good. And that's it's the vibe as well.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: We are going to.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fantastic team name for those of us
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: with just accents, not a huge amount of Shakespeare knowledge.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Could you could you share the references within that?
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Kristen, Yeah, Berlyn Crans and Gildenstern are like a
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: comedic duo and Hamlet, which is crazy because the tragedies
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: don't always get like a comedy duo, so it is
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: kind of weird place to be in.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: They do get killed.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Off screen, and then Tom Stoppard made a play called
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: Rosenkranz and Gildenstern are Dead. That's very like modernist nothing
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: quite happens. They're all like it's from their perspective, so
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: they're just like wandering around the play being like what's
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: going on because they're like very minor characters. It's really funny.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So is it Rosen, Kristen, guild and Steph?
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Is that? Yes?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Lovely, lovely stuff.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: My favorite thing is when people give Matt a difficult
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: name to say. Does he has to say it? I
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: don't know, twenty five times during this episode.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Rosen, Kristen Gilden, Steph. I'm gonna be practicing
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that over and over. Rosen Kristian Gilden Steph.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I love the.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Reference parentheses are not yet parentheses crash tucket already. Yeah,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I will not live up to that me either.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Not going to stop me from saying it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I love it. Though the battle lines are being drawn.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: We've got the puck Bunnies versus Rosen christin gilden Staff.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Whoo.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: All right. And if you're listening to this and thinking Hamlet,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you mean the story about the tiny pig, don't worry
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: his order with a little segment we like to call
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: passing knowledge.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: William Shakespeare is an English playwright, poet, and actor who
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: lived from fifteen sixty four to sixteen sixteen. He's widely
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that's only because the fan fiction I wrote in twenty
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: eleven was written in the language of love. He's often
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: referred to as the Bard, and it's fitting. His works
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: consist of plays, sonnets, narrative poems, and a lot more.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: The exact numbers have some room for debate because some
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: of the works only feature sections by William Shakespeare. Personally,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I'm inclined to include them because if we discredit features,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: we sacrifice over half of Pitbull's discography. Mister Worldwide, more
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: like mister, all the World's a stage, beautiful.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Shakespeare.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that was Dulla. Shakespeare has a ton
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: of plays that you will have heard of.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Hamlet, the one where Hamlet dies, Romeo and Juliet, where
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Romeo and Juliet die, Macbeth where Macbeth dies, King Lear,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: where King Lear dies, and also Taming of the Shrew,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: where an independent woman learns to love, which to me
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: might be a fate worse than death. His plays have
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: been translated into every major language and are performed more
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: often than those of any other play. Right, And it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: all come to this for us to engage in it
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: in a comedy panel game show play fandemonium.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, just before we get to today's games, I've asked
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: each player to bring in amuse something that inspires them
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: or something they love from this particular fandom. Shakespeare is
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: inspiring to me because if all the world is a stage,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: then that thing I did in Whataburger last week was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: performance art. Steph will start with you. What's inspiring you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: from the world of Shakuspierre.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, you know you told us to bring that, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I brought the team name.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: And that's where.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: I feel like you're like a plucky, a plucky heroine,
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: you know, from the comedy, not a tragedy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna, you know, lean into that
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: sincerity and say that shake spirit is one of the
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: things that I do love talking about with Kristen because
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: she knows so much about it and.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: So to have like that point of reference to like,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I just like that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: I guess maybe and maybe you don't know so much,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: but like the things you really love about it, it's
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: just great.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: It's like a great point of connection with my buddy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, your friend, that's so.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Cea mine is less less than that. I'm the I
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: love the fool archetype.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: That's what I've brought from Shakespeare is the little jangling fool.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: But the full archetype is fun because it's comic relief character.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: And then one of his actors switched out right, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: then he started writing more nuanced parts for the new guy,
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: so it was actually like, you know, just kind of
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: a funny guy and then funny guy who's actually saying
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: some real ship.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I like that. It's a good thing about
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the fool. Yeah gets it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: You get to kind of be silly and serious.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Fun in the improvise Shakespeare class, because that is something
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: that Meghan brings up of, like, no, he is a fool,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: but he's probably going to be the one that sees
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: this situation.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: As exactly yeah, because you have that absurdity in mind
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: and that goofiness and yeah. And then also it's like, well,
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: I'm just crazy. I can say whatever I want and
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: not get field for it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: That's the social awareness to just not say the thing
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: that everybody else maybe does see, won't ever say out loud.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a great character type influenced fiction as
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: we know it. And yeah, great thing to be inspired by,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's not friendship though, is it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Well listen too, you don't know.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: You called me a plucky heroine and that, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: covers a multitude of sins, kind of a Rosalind.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That's good, all right, I'm feeling very inspired by Rosen
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Kristen Gilden's dead. I'm gonna have to look at that
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: every time. Over to the Puck Bunnies, Megan, what's inspiring
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you from the world of Shakespeare?
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: For me?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I think it's the big emotions, Yes, because I grew
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: up in a very like emotionally restricted environment where I
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: was always told like, tone it down, Megs, you're being dramatic,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: you're such a drama queen, And then they wonder why
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: I chose to be a theater major, right, But I
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: like that in Shakespeare there's just no room for like meh,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: you know, like they feel so strouggly and they don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: ever stop feeling that way, no, you know, and so yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: it's just that emotional release for me is Yeah, what
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: inspires me about it?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great answer. Great to be inspired
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: by it when performing, like with improvised Shakespeare, but also
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: just a general great thing for life is to like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: feel those emotions and feel them, yeah, feel them, bake.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: And let them out in a great big way and
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: maybe stab somebody.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, let's do exactly what's in Shakespeare playing.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: It's a guy I'm taking over ten mark.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Great, great answer, fantastic stuff and order. What's inspiring you
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: from Shakespeare?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: What's inspiring me from Shakespeare is me as a child
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: nice I was a kid who learned to read early
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: and was not one to be told I couldn't do
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: something in my early age, and we had like a
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: book that was like Shakespeare comedies and Shakespeare tragedies. And
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I was looking through books looking for something to read,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: and my parents were like, oh, that one's too old
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: You won't be able to read that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: So I took it off the shelf at I did
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: not know what I was reading. I had no actual concept,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: but I read. Couldn't tell you which ones. Read a
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: few of them and generally kind of understood the plot,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: like fifty percent nice and it was out of sheer
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: come ad energy, just out of defiance, and I'm I'm
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: hoping to channel that in my adulthood is.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: A little bit more defiance. Yeah, that's that's great. That's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a that's a brilliant answer. You're and you half understood it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So your parents were only half right?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were with most things, only half right.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I did used to read the like, uh, it's called
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: No Fear Shakespeare to my son, and he loved it
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: because there's like, there's sex jokes in here, so you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: it has the actually the original text on one side
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: and then the translation on the other so that you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: he could understand what was being said. And that was
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: really fun bonding time for us.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Get to be a cool Mom, we're reading the Shakespeare
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: and it has sex jokes.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Good. That's so good and a.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Little extra bonus muse then Megan as well, I like it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I feel doubly inspired from your side of the table.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah can I Can I throw a fun act?
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Another thing that inspired me. So, I don't know how
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: many of you have heard of the Improvised Shakespeare Company.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: They started off in Chicago and they're all in la now.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Every once in a while they come here to DCPA.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: But I went to college with Blaine Swyin, the guy
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: that started the group, Nice, and we did we did
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: a Shakespeare play together. We did The Winter's Tale, The
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Winter's Tale and sorry, brilliant, brilliant, hilarious man, genius, honestly
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: and really cool guy. And that's another thing that it
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: inspired me is nice. That's yeah, it's free. I could
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: never do what he does. Like every time I see
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: that show, I leave their feeling both inspired but also
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: really depressed that I will never do anything that amazing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: I think I find it more impressive than like anything
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: else I've ever seen. Is the infrared Shakespeare? Is that
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: level that you have too working on is unreal?
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So that that was a huge inspiration. And
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: I took a class from a friend of his that
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: we also both went to college with, and he went
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: toes with when they like started the the form back
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: in high school. So I took a class through him
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: and then saw their show and I was like, I
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: want to do this. It's not going to be nearly
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: as good, but I would give it a good college try,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: So that's yeah, that's so good. That's awesome.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Because I've not seen the Improvised Shakespeare Company yet, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: really want to the next time they're around. But Field Trip,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I can. I can say it's definitely a challenging form
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to learn.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: For sure. It's a participation and yeah it's it's Did you.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Know Sir Patrick Stewart would perform with them at times?
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: And I've got a story I can tell you when
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: we're not recording, just out of respect for my friend blame.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know that he wants that out there on
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: the airways. It's an amazing story. Is going to blow
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: your mind.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Out of respect for your dear friend, Sir Patrick's.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: By proxy. Maybe I don't know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: The next thing I've got written here isn't out of
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: respect for sir Patrick, I'm very inspired. Teams, thank you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: so much. But now the opening Stanza has been read
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: by the understudy, because Sir Patrick Stewart has had a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: few too many, So it must be time for Act one.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Round one is called the Comedy of Errors. For this game,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I have changed the titles of some Shakespeare plays by
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: just one letter to create a whole new original play.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But can our players find the title of the new
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: play from the synopsis alone? So if I said two
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: pairs of golden age Hollywood actor twins are separated and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: shipwrecked and enter a farce of mistaken identity, the answer
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: would be the Comedy of Errols. And that's the worst one,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: which is why I've used it as Yeah, well, I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: could only come up with nine of these, and one
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of them had to be the example. Well, they're easier
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: than that, I would hope. I don't even know what
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that last word meant.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but that's stretch.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: To a nineteen thirties actor. No slash buckler more recent
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: than Shakespeare. Clues will be for individual players with correct
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: answers worth two points. But because putting on a play
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is all about teamwork, if you don't know the answer,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you can ask your teammate for help and your team
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: will still score one point.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: And no stealing. We don't like stealing in this this
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: game show. We don't. We don't.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: That takes the pressure.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so odro. We are going to begin with
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a brand new synopsis for you.
• 23:36

• 24:12
  Speaker 3: be like you can do this.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: You've got this, babe. Maybe I've got.

• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Any ideas from the other team on this one? Just one.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Changed? Yeah, yeah, the.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Only is the Wives.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say it's the Marry Wives Windsor. That's
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: was my only guess.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's that I don't know love Labor's just
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Is my one. Like, I straight up have not read it,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: know nothing about it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: It's the tuppy So I'm gonna say that I forgot
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: that existed.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Well, it is.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: One of the disputed, so there you go, loopoole, it
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: didn't count as dispute it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's disputed. He stumped us mat that was great.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Pitbull and kesherte that one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I wrote one last synopsis. It's time for Kristen. Here
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: It's not that hard.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It's pretty tough. It's a tough thing.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: You got this, babe, You've got this.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Twin numbers mistake each other for dead and then disguise
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: themselves as each other. It's all sixes and sevens in
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a case of mistaken identity where one sibling marries a
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: prime number.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: I love prime numbers. That's crazy. Though, I'm gonna need stuff,
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: so do you know it?
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: This is crazy?
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: No?
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: But what what is the name of the play? I'm
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: gonna say? Is this twelfth Night? I mean, what else
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: has twins? But I think also there's another one with
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: twins that might.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Be closer to this. Here's the question that sounds like
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: what letter do we eat?
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: That is also a number? Though?
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: Wait is it twelve? I don't want to say this
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: now twelve nine? Is that anything?
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: No?
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: No, because that's not changing one level.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: But nine is also not a prime number? No?
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, wait, what are the primes?
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, I can't just go through all of them.
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go through every prime number on a podcast.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: You're going to listen, Please be really good listening.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I won't even out Honestly, this is what I wanted
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the podcast to originally be.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Is just listing prime numbers? Yes? Oh okay, can you
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: ride again? Actually?
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: And maybe the prime part isn't isn't the thing to
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: focus on twin numbers mistake each other for dead, and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: then disguise themselves as each other. It's all sixes and
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: sevens in a case of mistaken our identity.
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that has to be twelve night. But what's all
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: sixes and sevens? What do you mean it's all but
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: six plus seven?
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: We got it? No, I don't. I don't think I
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: have it, but I have an idea.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, eight, it's twelve eight?
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Oh my god, that's crazy. Also, none of them, it's
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: none of those are prime numbers. It's it's the Duke
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: is the prime number in this scenario.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I believe number.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: You are royalty in the world. If everyone's a number,
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: we're doing a little, a little world.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Building, the Shakespeare expanded you to us. All right, that
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: is the end of round one. Let's ask the intelligence
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and strategically brilliant Henry the Fifth to calculate the latest scores.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: If he was so smart, why did it take five
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Henry's to achieve his.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Goals so many?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: All right, those scores are the Puckpennies are on four points,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but Rosen Christen Guilden's staff are on six points.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Hey, I didn't even think that we were doing better.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: You do better than the.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Listen, only slightly.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: It's none of us knew what loves labors?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Just that's crazy, that's true. That was awesome.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: I felt like I got a little glimpse into your brain, mat.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: And it was yeah, yeah, I don't want to admit
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: how long I spent making those, especially in a world
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: where AI could have done it for me.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: But where's the.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Hey no, no, it's your brain. Don't let them take it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Up next is round two after this commercial break. Unless
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you sign up to our Patreon, where the free tia
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: is ad free. If you want to avoid the senseless
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: capitalism that's about to happen, sign up to patreon dot com.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Forward slash gatesleepers. I don't know about this corporate stuff, Fordre.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Do you think our business manager will be happy with that?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: No?
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was very sincere.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Shit, it's fine, they'll be fine.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Play the music.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Round two is called shall I Compare the We're going
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to create some original Shakespearean scenes from some prompts I
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: have here, but every line spoken by our players must
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: be a question. The scene ends when one player doesn't
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: respond with a question, or when a satisfying conclusion happens,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: at which point I will say and scene and I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: guess it's the X thing for you've you've said it
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: sounds like really harsh On our podcast, we don't really
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: have that kind of vibe and torne. Is there a
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: softer way of doing that?
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Stop, please, no thanks, that's more brutal.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Exit pursued by a bear.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: That's perfect. That's what I will say if I don't
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: hear it.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Winter sales points are awarded arbitrarily by me because I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: have this accent, so it's assumed dignoshals. But I'll be
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: looking for Elizabethan language, Shakespearean themes, and how long you
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: manage to keep up the streak of asking questions. Also,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: let's put a hat on this hat before each scene begins,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: We'll spin the word wheel and you'll get a bonus
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: point if one player uses the word in their scene.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Let's look at those words. Great, okay, some classic Shakespearean
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: words here. We have hatchback, riz, netflix, adoptable, doom, scrolling, rim, job, neto, baby,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and cottage.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Core those.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, you probably tell you which Shakespearean play each of
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: those words, one for each of them.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Time, and if you can't think of a question, just
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: improvise the start of a sonnet, like shall I compare
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: thee to a summer's day? Could a rose ever smell
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: so sweet? How does one think of a third idea.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: So we're going to begin with Megan and Audra performing
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a Shakespearean scene for us all in questions, and your
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: prompt is, we'll go with a noble Queen and her
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: brave Knight. We will have as your characters, and your
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: word is neo baby, So we have a noble Queen
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and her brave Knight.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Whenever you're ready, take it away.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: My noble Queen.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: As the knight that was only dubbed perchance because I
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: am a nepo baby. Would you like me to defend
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: thy honor today?
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: In any way? Can you not see around me all
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: of those who would would defy my stature? My Queen?

  Speaker 5: Dost thou question thine own stature in this thine own court?
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: How canst one not question thy own stature? When I

  Speaker 3: am surrounded by these anti sycophants?
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Wow, my Queen, would you like me to fluff thy
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: pillow so that thou might sit slightly higher than all
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: of thy adversaries?

  Speaker 4: You can you turn. Thank you. That was so that's
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: so kind to offer that to me. Can'st thou do
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: it quickly?

  Speaker 5: Is there another way thou wouldst prefer to be elevated?
• 39:32

• 45:50
  Speaker 4: RIZ developing my riz. Oh, sister, if you if you've

  Speaker 2: Brilliant?
• 46:45

• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Christ when you're like in geography and maps. Yeah, the
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: way my brain looked was like, oh, he had the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: subject of mass subject of math photography, that's what it is.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: Sure that could have been good, but I didn't say

• 48:35
  Speaker 1: three staples of American society. Yeah okay. Round three is
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: called Romeo or Juliet. We're going to play a bit
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: of an Elizabethan dating game here, where our players will
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: take it in turns, taking on the persona of a
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: character from a Shakespeare play their teammate, then ask three
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: questions to try and identify who they are. Three points
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: if you get it in one question, two for two,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: or one if you need to ask all three questions,

• 56:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know if this is actually
• 56:30

• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: That's the only person who's not cheating. I believe you, Steph,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: and I was just kind.

  Speaker 4: I don't believe that that was cheating, but it's in
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: my favor.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: So I agree with you all same. Okay, that is
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: the end of round three.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't write any kind of Shakespearean reference here for
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the scores. Anyone got anything, dam.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Maybe Iago he's manipulating. Well we had just said that.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: So.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Let's ask manipulate the later scores. Very good, Thank you everyone.

  Speaker 4: I can't be right.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I'll check in the edit, but everything can change in
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: the quick fire round. Of course it gets pretty wild.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: But before we get to the quick fire round, let's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: talk prizes this episode. Star Prize is the concept of language.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Shakespeare invented so many words in the English language, including frugal, gloomy, addicted, jaded, lonely,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: and neglect. But enough about my childhood in the northeast
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: of English, because our winning team will also receive.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: A hatchback switch.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: Can we switch that big for riz? So much more
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: of that?
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Up next is our crucial quick fire around, where we'll
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: find out if our players were born great, achieved greatness,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: or had greatness thrust upon them. I'm calling hr back
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: soon with quick fire around. Our final quick fire around
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: will test your broader pop culture knowledge, and it's called
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the Iambic pentalmeter, a tool that measures how much Shakespeare
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: you can read whilst walking. Yeah, in this game, I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: will give our players clues to a piece of meat
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: that was inspired by Shakespeare. Those clues will be if
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I've done this correctly, a couplets written in Iambic pentameter.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: Whoa nicely done?
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you again? Took so much time, but I'm not
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: surrendering to the robots. There is, of course a classic
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: gate leapers twist. You need to answer in your best
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: theatrical thespian voice, or I cannot give you the give
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: you iambic pentameter.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: Also, that'd be crazy, like I could probably do it,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: but I'm not going to try.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: Undercaffeinated. It just needs to sound like a horse kind of.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not going to.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: Be an iambic pentameter, but I am probably going to
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: do this.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: As I answers, just to really get into it.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: You buzz in by yelling out your team name, so
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: let's practice that.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Now. You people have done variations on their names are
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: orange orange, I like that orange.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: That's good. That's good. And Puck Puck Puck, I love it.

• 1:11:10
  Speaker 5: All right, we'll go a little handicap. You also have

• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: I said the pride regal to scar Falls without crown, yes,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 5: lion king, it is probably a bit more of a
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: thespian Oh yes.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: I forgot lesbian. Okay, that's going to be hard.
• 1:11:33
