• 0:00
  Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome back to another episode of gate Leapers,
• 0:04
  And as you can probably tell from the title of this episode, we are
• 0:07
  leaping back into the sitcom realm, this time with the seminal the Influential,
• 0:14
  the third adjective TV show that is thirty Rock, Tina Pha's masterpiece. Look,
• 0:21
  whether you've seen any thirty Rock or not, I think you'll really enjoy
• 0:25
  this episode. Our sitcom episodes always tend to be a bit looser, a
• 0:29
  bit more fun, and yeah this one, this one goes off the rails
• 0:33
  a few times, but in that way that we all love. And of
• 0:36
  course we were joined by two very special guest players. Returning guest one of
• 0:42
  my favorites, one of your favorites, Drew Shulman of the Carrying Wayward podcast.
• 0:47
  If you are a supernatural fan, you absolutely must must check out Carrying
• 0:52
  Wayward. Audra is a big fan and highly endorses the podcast, but she's
• 0:56
  not here to say that, so so I'm saying it on her behalf.
• 1:00
  But they are her words that I've heard come out of her mouth. So
• 1:03
  yes, Drew is on cracking form as usual. But we were joined by
• 1:07
  a new guest player as well. JP you may have seen him online at
• 1:12
  Jay Underscore Pantaloons on Twitter. He is a gate Leaper's super fan and just
• 1:18
  an all round positive and inspiring person. We had such a fun time recording
• 1:23
  with JP. He was an excellent guest player. He geeks out about thirty
• 1:26
  rock a ton just yeah, he gets gate Leapers. I mean he's maybe
• 1:30
  listened to all of the episodes, so maybe that's why. But he's still
• 1:34
  a fantastic player. It was an absolute riot to record with him. And
• 1:38
  look, if you listen to this, if you are a fan of gate
• 1:42
  Leapers and have been for some time, and you think, well, I
• 1:45

  but I'll make it happen. I'm good at making things happen. I'm

• 2:06
  things happen, let's get to today's episode. Oh just before though, if

  do that? Don't you want to just not do any work? Or like
• 3:07
  pretend like you're doing some work, but you're actually listening to some sort of
• 3:10
  pop culture based comedy trivia. Isn't that better than working? I mean,
• 3:15

• 3:23
  Thank you so much to Drew and JP. They made this episode what
• 3:25
  it is and here it is. Join us as we leap into the fandom
• 3:30
  of thirty Rock. Hello, and welcome to gate Leapers, the pop culture
• 3:53
  game show that shines a spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master
• 3:59
  and Cable t Own CEO rival Matt Watson. But of course we couldn't play
• 4:03
  these games without our head writers and captains. First, I want to go
• 4:09
  to there. It's Ordra Stevenson. Hello, Yeah, you're my wife.
• 4:13
  It's wholesome, it's not creepy, and a man who lives every week like
• 4:17
  it's shark week. It's Jason. I get that reference. Nice, get
• 4:23
  hello. Captain's ready for a series of games about a sitcom that advanced women
• 4:27
  in comedy but also made everything really very matter. M Yes, I enjoyed
• 4:32
  this. Yes I no, I knew nothing about this, like nothing,
• 4:39
  and now I know very little. That's some. That's good. Yes.
• 4:44
  Yeah. My my my partner, who I'll introduce here later in the episode,
• 4:47
  was kind enough to give me like an episode list nice and so I
• 4:51
  hit some of those. I get it. I think I get it.
• 4:56
  I mean, that's good. You've done some research, Like you've gone from
• 4:58
  not knowing what thirty Rock was to now knowing a bit about it. I've
• 5:01
  grown, I think as a person. I think in previous gate Leapers episodes,
• 5:04
  I would have said, ah, fuck it, sure, but you
• 5:08
  know twenty twenty three you right, yeah, But now there's just so much
• 5:12
  good out there that we're just gonna be like, you know, maybe I'll
• 5:14
  give it a yeah. Me. I love thirty Rock. I've watched all
• 5:18
  of thirty Rock a couple of times, but it's been quite a while since
• 5:21
  my last watch through, and it's something that I had just like, oh,
• 5:26
  we'll watch this new show and we'll watch this new show. And before
• 5:29
  this episode, we watched a couple episodes of thirty Rock and I was like,
• 5:31
  oh, thirty Rock is so good. It is I'm very ready.
• 5:35
  Yeah good, it's good. Okay. Well, it sounds like the teams
• 5:39
  are currently a touch touch unbalanced, So to play these games about thirty Rock,
• 5:44
  you'll each need a bright eyed NBC page to help guide your way.
• 5:47
  Jason, who is your teammates today? He's a personal trainer who loves pop
• 5:53
  culture. It's oh god, waiting I have to do? Is reading?
• 6:08
  You could understand. It's literally one thing I do. I have to say
• 6:14
  the whole thing again, say the whole thing again, right, God damn
• 6:15
  it, it's one sentence. Shut up. He's a personal trainer who loves
• 6:19
  pop culture. It's Gaily superfan JP. Hello, JP, welcome to the
• 6:24
  podcast. Very very lucky, not lucky if Yeah, we're very lucky to
• 6:29
  have you and you don't know about yet. Well, right off the bat,
• 6:33
  JP, I've got to thank you for being such a strong supporter of
• 6:38
  this silly little podcast on Twitter. Your words really are genuinely encouraging in terms
• 6:43
  of when I'm feeling a little bit like can I be bothered to edit the
• 6:46
  final thirty minutes of this thing? No, there's there's people out there like
• 6:49
  JP who who say positive things. So that's that's really nice man. Thanks.
• 6:54
  Well, then giving me a lot of suppressfully like laughing, and I
• 6:58
  like bandoment even when I don't know things, it's pretty fun. Um.
• 7:01
  So yes, it's given me many hours of happiness and I'm just feel very
• 7:05
  fortunate to be here. Oh, thank you man. Yeah, okay,
• 7:11
  now it's a business. Now that now that we've got all the best about
• 7:14
  the way JP thirty Rock, are you a fan? Oh yeah, so
• 7:17
  I would have been a fan since the beginning. I've seen it a few
• 7:19
  times. I'm through. It's been a while. Like I just said,
• 7:23
  for her, the first few seasons, I feel it's like kind of like
• 7:27
  the Simpsons or any real fandom, you know, even if you're a hardcore
• 7:30
  fan. You know, like he's in one through five, and then it's
• 7:33
  like, yeah, I watched the last couple, but it's not I'm gonna
• 7:38
  go and rewatch season two through five. You know, Parks and Record thirty
• 7:42
  Rock or Posisions or even the office, you know. So it depends on
• 7:46
  where the questions come in. I feel pretty confident, but um, you
• 7:49
  asked some memory issues and names I'm not great with. So I had a
• 7:53
  friend of mine best, um, he's a thirty Rock fan, and so
• 7:57
  I throw me some questions and I felt pretty common, but it I couldn't
• 8:00
  get a suitable name. We do. I really love the show, fantastic,
• 8:07
  fantastic. I think you'll be a you'll be a good partner to pick
• 8:09
  up on Jason's maybe he's got plenty of enthusiasm but lack of knowledge. Jason,
• 8:15
  how many did you watch? How many episodes did you watch? I
• 8:18
  got to Tracy Tracy does Conan, which I freaking loved. So I think
• 8:22
  that's four or five episodes I got into. I gave him a lift of
• 8:28
  six that I said and see him one just to give him a flavor.
• 8:31
  Yeah, yes, yes, I'm very much the Tracy Jordan of this show.
• 8:35
  Aren't sure if you want to put that on yourself. Yeah, I
• 8:39
  don't know, Like I don't know if he murders someone, you know,
• 8:45
  his vibe, his vibe is me right, I don't know. Maybe hope
• 8:48
  not, Okay, Okay, I think I think you're going to be a
• 8:54
  very good team. And Ultra who is joining you? He a podcaster,
• 9:01
  voice actor, a graphic designer, and co host of the Carrying Wayward podcast.
• 9:05
  It's Everyone's favorite guest player. Drew Shulman. Hello, welcome back,
• 9:09
  Drew. Hello, Oh are you doing doing fantastic? I am very excited
• 9:16
  for this one. I to put a little bit of a shimmer of time
• 9:18
  on this. I just listened to the Parks and rec episode you released,
• 9:22
  not too long ago. Nice, So I feel like I'm kind of like
• 9:24
  in that mindset of like this style of show. Yes, sitcom episodes,
• 9:30
  they tend to be a bit looser, like no one's quite as we're not
• 9:33
  precious about lull or anything like that. They tend to be Lisa episodes for
• 9:37
  sure, So big big rock fan. Yeah, I remember watching it when
• 9:43
  it first aired, loving it. The wife and I did a rewatch several
• 9:46
  years ago, and it's one of those shows that just like anytime we kind
• 9:50
  of have like a moment that we were like reminded of a character or an
• 9:52
  episode, we have to go find the YouTube clip and rewatch it, which
• 9:56
  are usually some of Lizz's quotes or tracy moments. Yeah, definitely, definitely,
• 10:03
  And just a quick quick sidebar here. Since last we spoke Drew on
• 10:07
  this podcast, I believe you and Jason had a Pokemon battle and did absolutely
• 10:15
  to use the word spanked him. Is that rivalry going to continue today?
• 10:20
  Can we expect some some heat between the teams here? Oh? I haven't.
• 10:24
  I haven't considered that, but uh yeah, well that's unfair because part
• 10:28
  of me feels like you you laid out the challenge Jason, but I don't
• 10:31
  think Gabriels of enough time for how much I had time to prepare. So
• 10:35
  I feel like coming into this repeated again today, Drew, I don't know
• 10:41
  if I'm gonna be coming in hot and heavy but also unprepared, Like,
• 10:46
  how much prep did you do? Watch exceptions? What did I do?
• 10:48
  I'd watch the entire show right, all the scripts, had lunch with the
• 10:50
  cast. What about? Oh you didn't do all that? No, Oh,
• 10:54
  we'll see. We'll see how the rivalry goes. And we're still do
• 10:56
  for a Pokemon rematch one of these days when you're ready. Yeah, it's
• 11:00
  true, that's true. Okay, good, good to know. Okay,
• 11:03
  So we have our players, we have our teams, but our teams don't
• 11:07
  have good branding. So, as it's your first day as vice president of
• 11:11
  East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming, I'll need some snappy branding from each
• 11:16
  of you. A thirty rock themed team name. Please. Let's start with
• 11:20
  Jason and JP. A little inside. JP has pre sent me a list
• 11:28
  of names. I glanced over them. They're fantastic. Uh. What's the
• 11:31
  difference between precent and sense? Yeah, that's a good clarification. Sense free
• 11:43
  to the show show notes. Uh, they're great, but in regular fashion,
• 11:48
  I want to put some terrible names in the ring just because I think
• 11:50
  they're really funny to say. Let's say the ones we won't use. Yeah,
• 11:54
  when I have is twenty nine Rocks and one Big Boulder as a teammate.
• 11:58
  Okay, really it's a thirty rock. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't
• 12:03
  know why I was called thirty rock for like in my episode watching tons of
• 12:07
  Rocks in it. Yeah, I lovely show about geologists recently. Why it's
• 12:13
  called thirty rock? Uh? And then I did like this one the Blue
• 12:16
  Man Group, but that just sounds like the Blue Man Group, but it's
• 12:20
  like a reference to like Tracy does Conan, that little weird blue Man.
• 12:24
  He's yeah, it's not it's not. So we're gonna go with some of
• 12:26
  jps. Please okay, JP, please save the day please. I want
• 12:31
  to hear at least three more three the glove is down. Okay. So
• 12:39
  the four that I thought of, um, well, because it's Daily Birds.
• 12:41
  So I kind of thought Elie Day Williams, and I thought Delie Day
• 12:46
  Williams was a good name. Um. Yes, So the other one where
• 12:50
  Milf Island man, is that accurate, Jason, would you say, um,
• 12:56
  no, Milf Island men. We know how I feel as a person
• 13:01
  on no here at gate Leapers. We know how I feel about that,
• 13:03
  but I'm not going to further explain. So the other one I really like
• 13:07
  is the pose Man's um so if anyone's just fan. So there's this video
• 13:11
  where Jack tries to record and you know, introke for this type of add
• 13:16
  product places they want to do for their or you know, for the early
• 13:20
  show, and he says positive mentions or pause mans, And so I thought
• 13:24
  the pose man so I really good ones. And I think it's Jason's decision.
• 13:31
  I think it's my decision. I don't feel like pause men. I'm
• 13:33
  gonna go. This is Pauseman's also kind of easy to say during the quick
• 13:37
  fire runs. That is true. It is true. Yeah, let's move
• 13:41
  on. If it's Ultra and Drew, Okay, So I have one just
• 13:45
  because it is my favorite joke the show has ever made. Oh yes please.
• 13:48
  The only problem is it will be really annoying to yell during the lightning
• 13:52
  round. But I want to be the werewolf Farman's fuzz. It's good.
• 14:01
  Did you have anything please? Go anything else please. I have a couple.
• 14:09
  A couple of mine are good. A couple of mine are like mid
• 14:13
  Um. One that I really like is the Beeper Kings. Another good reference.
• 14:18
  Um, this one. It's it's just good God Lemon. I love,
• 14:24
  I love. It's such an iconic line. It's the boy he says
• 14:28
  it too good God, superte your name, but it makes it even better.
• 14:33
  Yeah, um, chuckle hut. Oh yeah, the laugh like the
• 14:39
  Last Factory. Yeah. And the TGS with Drew Shalman. Oh oh,
• 14:52
  it's like a thirty rock writer's room. You've got your choice of taxi.
• 14:54
  Oh wow. Um. I like the chocole huts a lot too, actually,
• 15:00
  but the Good God Lemons just sounds so fun. Werewolf far Mitzvah is
• 15:03
  one of my favorite things is all of the original songs in thirty Rock,
• 15:07
  and Werewolf bar Mitzvah is my favorite all of them. Are we the Good
• 15:13
  God Lemons or the were Wolf bar Mitzvah's which One's gonna be harder to yeldhill
• 15:22
  The decision here I do because I just come out with absolute nonsense. I'm
• 15:28
  trying to see what is the nonsense that might come out of me? When
• 15:31
  I try to like, I mean, good God, lemon is not bad
• 15:35
  because you could just be like good God, you know, and I could
• 15:37
  also Oh, year, wolf Farms, how are you howl? Howm accept
• 15:46
  that? I'm going I'm gonna throw my hat in for werewolf bar mitzvah,
• 15:52
  betting on Matt's goodwill by the time we come to the Okay, Okay,
• 15:56
  well we'll say how far I make it through this pint? Okay, So
• 16:02
  the Werewolf bum mitzvah. I think, yeah, it doesn't need to be
• 16:04
  the Werewolf bum mitzvah. Yeah. I think it's a collective down but we
• 16:10
  are Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, yeah. The Posmen versus Werewolf bumb
• 16:15
  mitzvah be our boy band name. There you go, the Puzman, the
• 16:21
  pause Men at the Werewolf ar mitzvah. That's your first album. Oh my
• 16:25
  god, the pawf Men absolutely play'll do well on this show. JP.
• 16:32
  Oh all right, hey, if you're listening to this and thinking, well,
• 16:37
  I don't know anything about thirty Rock. I missed it when it was
• 16:41
  first on due to the two thousand and eight recession, and now we're approaching
• 16:44
  another recession, and I can't just if I a peacock subscription. Don't worry
• 16:48
  his order with a little segment we like to call passing knowledge. Thirty Rock
• 16:53
  is an American satirical sitcom created by Tina Fe that aired on NBC in two
• 17:00
  thousand and six to twenty thirteen. The series is based on Phay's experience as
• 17:03
  the head writer for Saturday Night Live, except instead of Lorne Michael's yelling in
• 17:08
  his ear, it's Alec Baldwin. But don't worry, ladies, he was
• 17:12
  not armed. You must be ruthless, you must be absolute. Remember always
• 17:18
  you are the exterminator phase. Liz Lemon and Baldwin's Jack Donneghie were often at
• 17:23
  odds with their liberal and conservative worldviews. So if you want to know who
• 17:27
  started this horrible and tedious culture war, it was conservatives in the nineteen eighties.
• 17:33
  But thirty Rock didn't help. If birth control pills fixed boners, you
• 17:37
  would get them free with your driver's license. And how do we know that
• 17:41
  God isn't a tree? Ladies and gentlemen, this is Elizabeth Lemon. Tracy
• 17:45
  Jordan, played by Tracy Morgan and Jenna Moroney are the two lead actors on
• 17:49
  the sketch show. Tracy is an outgoing, blissfully unaware, loose cannon.
• 17:55
  Jenna is true to herself, offbeat, and doesn't like it when she doesn't
• 17:59
  perform well. Mat I mean, Liz must wrangle. I see what you've
• 18:06
  done that? Why does he have a rolled up towel against the bottom of
• 18:07
  the door. It's so creepy, Jenna. I just want you to know
• 18:11
  that if we find any human remains in it, I'm gonna throw up all
• 18:15
  over your face. Thirty Rock one several Emmy's remains a cult hit and successfully
• 18:21
  predicted the direction of network television in the streaming age. It's remakes, reboots,
• 18:26
  and milk violence all the way down. This show is the worst.
• 18:30
  Didn't one of those MILFs die during production? She had too much champagne and
• 18:33
  a monkey knock. Turn it some quick sand. It could happen anywhere.
• 18:37
  So let's revisit this gag, a second character filled sitcom about television, a
• 18:41
  whole decade after it ended. That's right, you're now as old as Liz
• 18:45
  Lemon was at the start of the show. You'll never work for NBC.
• 18:48
  You'll never work for Lorne Michael all right or right on? A successful sitcom
• 18:52
  okay, or star in that stage. Right, that's enough. Okay,
• 18:56
  I get it. I get what you're saying. Thank you, Ultra.
• 19:00
  I hope that that caught everyone up on thirty Rock and my own shortcomings in
• 19:03
  the professional world. So moving on from that, just before we get to
• 19:10
  the games, I've asked each player to bring in a muse that's something that
• 19:14
  inspires them or something they love from this particular fandom. Even Tracy Jordan can
• 19:18
  be inspiring, like when he offered this advice. I'm going to say to
• 19:23
  you what I say to all my sharks right before they die. Let's go
• 19:26
  outside. So Audra, what's inspiring you from the world of thirty Rock?
• 19:33
  I am inspired by SuRie Xerox. Yeah, I normally consider I am more
• 19:41
  of a Liz Lemon, like I let people really get to me, like
• 19:45
  frazzled, Like I am good in my job, but I'm not going to
• 19:48
  really take care too awful much for my appearance. But I am going to
• 19:52
  people walk all over me. It's like a whole thing. Surree receptionist at
• 19:56
  thirty Rock. She is smart and how um does not give a shit.
• 20:02
  Yes, So I have brought in some examples In one of the episodes,
• 20:07
  there's a Halloween party and people are like, who are you? She's just
• 20:11
  in a Bikinian. She's like, I'm an Italian senator. I was not
• 20:14
  smart enough to understand the complex political satire that was at play at the time
• 20:19
  of this. There was a I think she was actually a member of parliament
• 20:25
  in Italy who was elected to represent a district, was a sex worker and
• 20:30
  was still making adult content with another member of parliament. So that is a
• 20:36
  very good joke. She is engaged to her partner and they're going to get
• 20:41
  married, and he keeps trying to apologize to her, but he wants to
• 20:45
  have a Greek Orthodox wedding, but she disagrees with the Greek Orthodox's church views
• 20:48
  on Cyprus, like the whole party. What's her tunity husband's job? Can
• 20:57
  you remember? Though it's not quite oh my gosh, throwing it out there.
• 21:07
  Oh, Ultra, you've filtered this to make her out like a genius.
• 21:11
  I really feel like this is history now. The other example that I
• 21:18
  had, I'm still gonna I'm gonna forge ahead with my argument because Sirie would
• 21:23
  right, she would what would do? There was one point in time when
• 21:27
  they're trying to like get her, like do you see this or like is
• 21:30
  it coming through? And she's like, well, light travels at one hundred
• 21:33
  and sixty eight seconds per whatever. I don't remember. I'm a scientist,
• 21:37
  but I should know. She's like, so, I don't know how fast
• 21:41
  I'm supposed to see this. She just knew that out of nowhere. Yeah.
• 21:45
  She is in a lot of ways very dumb. But in a lot
• 21:49
  of ways she's very smart. She doesn't let people push her around. She
• 21:53
  acts her wage, and I respect this in her, and I hope she
• 21:57
  acts her wage. Yes, and one day I hope to be that person.
• 22:06
  That's as that is a good news you've I mean, that's yeah,
• 22:10
  that's the nuance of the character. She's she's pretty intelligent despite the appearances and
• 22:15
  the stereotypes they give her. Um, yeah, let's let's hope it pays
• 22:19
  off for you channeling Surree because I wanted it to be Siri, and then
• 22:23
  I was like, no, every time I hear it. Every time I
• 22:26
  hear it, like because I went and listened SuRie. But then the second
• 22:30
  I read it, I'm like, Siri, the number of devices you've just
• 22:34
  triggered moving on to Alexa. No, okay, your teammates on Werewolf bar
• 22:45
  Mitzvah drew What's inspiring you from thirty Rock. I know it might be really
• 22:49
  cliche to go with a main character like Liz, but she is truly so
• 22:53
  inspirational, absolutely to be so good at her job and so funny and so
• 22:59
  on top of everything. Yet when she's not at work, she can be
• 23:03
  a little gremlin on the couch just eating cheese out of a bag. Yeah,
• 23:06
  that's what I want in life. I want to be successful outside and
• 23:10
  then when I come home, I want to close the lights, gender a
• 23:11
  blanket for and just eat cheese and watch garbage TV. Yea, everything I
• 23:15
  want in life. She's living the dream. She's living my dream. Yeah,
• 23:23
  she's a fantastic character. Was just one of the best sitcom characters of
• 23:27
  all time. I think the amount she did as like a leading woman,
• 23:32
  Like I looked back at the history of sitcoms as like a little refresher thing
• 23:34
  for this, and it's like, there are leading women in sitcoms in the
• 23:40
  years between things like I Love Lucy and The Married Salamshaw all the way up
• 23:44
  to thirty Rock, but they're always moms. That's all they are. They're
• 23:47
  just mothers. No disrespect to mothers. But for forty years straight, that's
• 23:51
  all women were allowed to be in leading roles in sitcoms. And for then
• 23:55
  like Tina fair To come along right star, produce everything. She's just she's
• 24:00
  an inspiration in front of and behind the camera, phenomally well said, Yes,
• 24:04
  fantastic mused Drew Love, Tina Fey Love, Les Lemon. Let's move
• 24:08
  on over to your opponents, the Paul's man. Let's begin with the actual
• 24:12
  thirty Rock fan. Let's begin at JP. What's inspiring you from thirty Rock?
• 24:18
  Uh? Unless Jason will I mean, you can't shake the same one,
• 24:22
  because I'm gonna stay first. I didn't put a list out there.
• 24:25
  So Lea William is going to be my inspiration. He's my favorite character beautiful
• 24:30
  on Therapy Rock and it's probably one of the best. It's not my favorite
• 24:33
  episode, but definitely one of the best episodes. And you know, for
• 24:37
  those who don't know, there was a holiday that was invented called, you
• 24:41
  know, a Leisa Holiday. Least is not Holiy that's invented that they invented
• 24:44
  the way that everybody celebrates it and the joke was that Liz was sick one
• 24:48
  year and then four years later something else happened, so she had no idea.
• 24:52
  And the main character of leap Day is Leide william a man who comes
• 24:55
  from the sea and had gills and if you cry in front of him,
• 24:59
  he'll throw tappy at your feet. Anyway, the whole the whole idea is
• 25:03
  like lead day, like that one extra day to do something good or to
• 25:07
  kind of have like an extra little whatever. And it treated as like a
• 25:11
  positive and I thought that's kind of cool, but just HILARI. So I
• 25:15
  think we say Williams were the same age. So I think that's that's good.
• 25:23
  That's that's good. It's it is a good gag. It's a good
• 25:26
  bit. But also yeah, a good sentiment live every day like its leap
• 25:30
  Day. I think it is a good, good little sentiment. There,
• 25:32
  I've said it. Now, let's hope it's a inspiration, yeah, and
• 25:36
  that people get behind it as a thing. You don't have to stay I'd
• 25:40
  also rather stay at home and just watch trashy TV and eat cheese. That's
• 25:44
  that's also what I would rather do. Um, okay, what I want
• 25:47
  to do with my leap day. That's true. That's true, and you
• 25:48
  should all get together on leap Day and just eat cheese. Oh fantastic in
• 25:52
  our planket. Yes. And finally, Jason, you need to iraq.
• 25:59
  But if you found a mute, is this something that inspires you? I
• 26:00
  almost have zero to this show. I haven't like watched enough to connect with
• 26:07
  it in that deep way. However, one of my first touchstones to this
• 26:11
  show prior to actually watching it in preparation of this episode was this YouTube series
• 26:17
  called Binging with Babbish, And so, for those who don't know, Binging
• 26:19
  with Babbish is a YouTube channel where he takes or he used to take foods
• 26:23
  from pop culture or TV shows or television and try to recreate it. So
• 26:27
  like famously he tried to what does the crabby patty actually taste like in real
• 26:32
  life? And it evolved into a show where he just kind of taught people
• 26:36
  how to cook and like the methodology behind cooking, and so he's kind of
• 26:38
  like the modern day Alton Brown. But I find it more accessible and really
• 26:42
  like his channel is where I found my love for cooking and the courage to
• 26:48
  cook new things as well. Nice. So that's my Touchstone to thirty Rock
• 26:52
  because he has an episode where he creates the Liz Lemon, which, for
• 26:56
  memory, is a specific sandwich that she orders, which, from also memory,
• 27:00
  is a pretty basic New York sandwich from what I also understand. Yeah,
• 27:06
  maybe that's neither here nor it's a basic New Yorker. Yeah, I
• 27:08
  think that's like part of the joke is like that's it's her sandwich and it's
• 27:11
  the most like generic sandwich everyone orders. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 27:17
  getting confused, like I'm confusing because as a sandwich. Oh yeah, and
• 27:22
  I think it's a horrible sandwich, but she only eats it because its named
• 27:26
  after her. Yea, I think, But I think lizard really and lizard
• 27:30
  is really basic, right, but I can't remember what it is. It's
• 27:34
  something like just it's essentially a Ruben, I think, Oh yeah, I
• 27:38
  think it is. I think it literally is just a Rubens. So that's
• 27:45
  not basic, thank you, it's I mean, you can also be basic
• 27:49
  things get major market penetration because they're good. Also, is the Ruben named
• 27:55
  after someone named Reuben? Maybe that's also I don't know. I've lived here
• 27:57
  for five years now and I haven't asked yet, and I'm too afraid too.
• 28:07
  I mean, it's like we learned in third grade here. I'm not
• 28:10
  sure what John Rubens and his amazing basis sandwich a compliment. Tell me that
• 28:22
  Matt grew up in a place that taught him how to make tea and me
• 28:25
  it was just maple syrup. So really yeah yeah, so yeah, um
• 28:30
  I although I was friends with the earl of Sandwich, that's a that's another
• 28:33
  story, right, teams, those are some fantastic muses. I love the
• 28:37
  inspiration in the air. But now it is your first day on the job,
• 28:41
  so let's have Kenneth guide us into the madness that is Round one.
• 28:52
  Round one is called really fake show, Really fake. That's a seventy year
• 28:57
  old reference. I just felt like I could because thirty Rock is full of
• 29:02
  old TV references. Yeah, it really is. It's it's absolutely is.
• 29:07
  I love it. It's a love letter to TV history. Thirty Rock is
• 29:11
  known for its parodies and satires of real TV shows and movies, and I
• 29:15
  want to know if our players can recognize them hidden amongst some real shows and
• 29:21
  some really fake shows. Yeah, yeah, let's do it. So I'll
• 29:26
  give our teams a list of three shows each with a similar theme. They
• 29:30
  then have to identify which one is a thirty Rock joke, which one is
• 29:36
  from real life TV or movies, and which one was made up by me
• 29:41
  two seconds ago. And that's literally impossible. So potential three points per question
• 29:48
  here if you can get them in the right order, three lists per team.
• 29:51
  We'll go back and forth between the teams. Are we ready? Let's
• 29:55
  do it. We'll begin with the pus men. Here are your three games,
• 30:00
  hots Breakers, deal Breakers, ice Breakers. Okay, deal Breakers is
• 30:11
  clearly one from thirty Rock, right, So what are the other two?
• 30:14
  Again? Clearly? Yes? Okay, you can trust your teammate on that
• 30:18
  one. Yeah, she said that scares me if the gay show or like
• 30:22
  a talk show in a book. Um the other one though, So the
• 30:27
  other two are hots Breakers and ice Breakers. I feel like they're both real
• 30:34
  shows. Yeah, I feel pretty strong about Jay said. I feel Heartbreakers
• 30:38
  is for sure a show. Right. I'm on the fence with them.
• 30:42
  So all I know is I'm writing about the thirty Rock one. Okay,
• 30:47
  thro Knowlledge is down. Thank you, JP. We got one point.
• 30:49
  JP knows thirty Rock. We now need you to know, Matt, I
• 30:56
  was going to study out for this, and I was like, I don't
• 30:57
  need to know thirty Rock. I just need you know, like what the
• 31:00
  masters serve. You just need to know all of pop culture history. Yeah,
• 31:11
  I'm gonna go with JP's guy. I do feel like Heartbreakers is a
• 31:14
  show too. I know it's it's kind of in the love game show type
• 31:18
  of situation. Icebreakers could easily be it. But so you're saying we're gonna
• 31:22
  go Heartbreakers. Deal Breaker is the Iraq Heartbreaker is the real show, and
• 31:26
  Icebreakers is the one I made up. Yeah, three for three, three
• 31:30
  points right out of the gates. Wow, Yes, Heartbreakers is a real
• 31:37
  twenty eighteen mini series about a pasta who has an affair. What's my favorite
• 31:45
  rom com? Oh it's It's Gaga Minute with those real things we all experienced
• 31:51
  growing up in a church um and Icebreakers. Yet I just tried various breakers
• 31:56
  for things that hasn't been made yet. So if you want to make a
• 31:59
  showbreak it's just so close. It was so close. That's why it was
• 32:01
  so good itself. Yeah. Yeah, Okay, let's move on over to
• 32:06
  Werewolf bar Mitzbah. Here is your first list call of Jury Runaway Jury,
• 32:14
  All the rural Jura. So I know I know the real one. Okay,
• 32:20
  I know Rural Juror is. Um, that's the thirty Rock one.
• 32:24
  Yeah, equal to Urban Fervor. I don't remember that one. I remember,
• 32:30
  Um, I remember coming up a lot and herd I'll be able to
• 32:32
  say it properly, just the super head of her going and the interview where
• 32:42
  you can't understand dammit, did heard her? And then call of Jury is
• 32:50
  just so fake but such a Matt joke to make, so it has to
• 32:52
  be the fake one. Yeah, And I do think I remember Runaway Jury.
• 32:57
  I remember I remember Runaway Bride, So do I Runaway Jury? I
• 33:02
  know Runaway Jury sounds more plausible than call of Jury being a parody of call
• 33:07
  of Duty. So come on, don't doubt the TV industry like that.
• 33:13
  Oh no, don't worry. I just say, is it a complimentary insult
• 33:17
  that I think it's more likely than the TV. It's definitely a compliment from
• 33:22
  my perspective. I don't know how listeners would feel about that. So we
• 33:25
  think so Rural Juror is from thirty Rock. Uh, Runaway Jury is a
• 33:30
  real show, and call of Jury you made up? That is also spots
• 33:36
  on. Why three points. I also can't say the word jury anymore.
• 33:38
  It's a losing meaning. Yeah, absolutely, where I knew what you were
• 33:44
  saying, and I kept waiting, I'm like, I know one of them.
• 33:52
  Yes, Runaway Jury is a real film based on a John Grisham novel,
• 33:58
  and we all know the Rural Jura is based on a Kevin Grisham novel.
• 34:04
  And yeah, Cold of Jewry It just yeah, but spot one.
• 34:09
  Okay, back on over to the pause. Man, here is your next
• 34:14
  list. America's Kids Got Singing, Global Idol Superstars or Connecticut's Top Country Star.
• 34:24
  Okay, I know the thirty rap one is the first one. First,
• 34:32
  America's Kids Got Singing? Yeah, Yeah, that's the thirty rap one?
• 34:36
  So what are the other two? Again? You have Global Idol Superstars
• 34:42
  or Connecticut's Top Country Starr. Are these purported to be like American television shows?
• 34:49
  That sounds like it's that a Japanese show or something where yes, I
• 34:55
  was thinking the exact same thing. He's sad I would rule out. I
• 35:00
  would go for the next one being the real one. Yeah, only in
• 35:02
  the light of if it's a weird translation. But what do you feel dacent
• 35:06
  you want to roll. Honestly, I don't even need to Matt to explain
• 35:07
  if it's all American ones. I so solidly agree because I was thinking the
• 35:12
  exact same thing. I'm watching a lot of physical one hundred. I'm not
• 35:15
  that much into K dramas, but I think the same thing where it's like
• 35:19
  that could a real show, just translated differently. So it's first, let
• 35:23
  the other ones, the Connecticut one. I feel like that's too niche.
• 35:28
  Okay, no, no, but I think I think Matt would do that
• 35:30
  because it's funny to Audra because she's from what Connecticut is Connecticut? Where is
• 35:37
  Connecticut? Yeah, I had no idea. You do have an excuse tream,
• 35:43
  Yeah, the same one I had. I'm a West Coast kid my
• 35:45
  back. I live in Michigan, and when I live in the Army,
• 35:50
  like three years ago or whenever, everybody you always thought Minnesota or Missouri,
• 35:54
  and they I don't know what it is. It was like a blind spot.
• 35:58
  There's a lot of a lot of them states. There are a lot
• 36:00
  of m states. Absolutely. Okay, So all right, so we're saying
• 36:04
  the first one is thirty yep, the second one is made up the third
• 36:07
  one is real. No, no, I think the second one is real.
• 36:12
  Right, Sorry? Yeah, yeah, So you're saying Global Idol Superstars
• 36:15
  is real. Yeah, Connecticut's Top Country Star is fake. Yeah, I'm
• 36:21
  gonna I'm gonna be handing out one point. You have identified the thirty rock
• 36:25
  but Global Idol Superstars is fake. There was a show called Global Idol,
• 36:30
  and there was a show called Global Superstars, but no show called Global Idol
• 36:34
  Superstars, and Connecticut Country Star is real. It ran for one season,
• 36:38
  all right. I feel like after the American Idol craze, like everyone tried
• 36:43
  to do their version of it, so I'm not shocked that it's real.
• 36:45
  Yeah, it was definitely like mid to late two yea. All right,
• 36:51
  all right, but Canada tried it. You would say, oh, it
• 36:53
  was going to be an American show. I think that would have pushed me
• 36:55
  over. Yeah, but I just want Jason. I was loving this,
• 37:02
  this, this the positive energy, you know. Yeah, it was good.
• 37:07
  We've got one point. Yeah, I'm happy, but absolutely Okay,
• 37:12
  let's have another list for Werewolf bom mitzvah homophone homonym or no homo No.
• 37:22
  I feel like I can remember them pitching Homophones to Tracy or Tracy pitching it
• 37:28
  to them. I think I have a memory of Homophones. I don't know
• 37:34
  whether it was from a sketch show or from this, but I do think
• 37:37
  Homophones might be thirty Rock. Yeah, I think so too. No Homo
• 37:44
  I can't imagine being a real show. But then again, America is a
• 37:47
  thing. I feel like it might be a real show. I think No
• 37:52
  Homo. You know, if I wasn't here, I'd be watched in Milk
• 37:55
  manor with my wife right now. That is a very good point. The
• 38:00
  Milk Manner is an actual show now. So I almost I had to just
• 38:04
  not include it in this game because I was like, it's going to be
• 38:07
  so obvious because it's on right now. So we're saying, No Homo is
• 38:12
  a real show, and Homophones is the thirty Rock show. Yes, and
• 38:16
  then whichever one the other one was is fake. He's saying homonym is fake?
• 38:21
  Is the one I made up? Yeah? Yes, Okay, I'm
• 38:23
  going to be handing out one point because the real one is No Homo.
• 38:29
  That is a real, horrible straight to TV movie from twenty fifteen. That
• 38:34
  is just just a homophobic premise as you would assume it has no but it's
• 38:38
  homonym is the thirty Rock oneophone is the one that's completely made up. It's
• 38:44
  homonym is the game show that they play. You've remembered it, right.
• 38:46
  It is a sketch, but I've tricked you up there. So one point
• 38:49
  there, David. They're getting harder, all right. I got one final
• 38:53
  list of media properties for each team's head on back over to the pause.
• 38:58
  Men, dark and stolemy pawn Police, coffee and Kareem. Oh oh,
• 39:07
  black cup, white cup. Okay, I feel pretty confident on this.
• 39:13
  That to me, the third one strange thirty rock joke. I know the
• 39:16
  second one is an actual movie I watched, so that one is pretty what
• 39:22
  it's a I was thinking coffee with Kareem was real, just because like Kareata
• 39:28
  bul Jabbar would try to do coffee with comedians. Coffee and Kareem. I
• 39:32
  think ed Helms is in and if it's not that one, I'm gonna feel
• 39:36
  really embarrassed. But um, I mean, what was the first one,
• 39:39
  Matt? The first one was dark and stormy, pawn Police. Yeah,
• 39:45
  I feel like that face only because the third one, I guess it could
• 39:47
  be the one or three. But that seems like such a thirty rock.
• 39:51
  Yo, what was it? White white back? Almost black cup, white
• 39:55
  cup. That's a Tracy that's a Tracy Jordan movie. I just watched this
• 40:00
  episode, right, And then there's also Honey, Grandma, watch, Let's
• 40:08
  do it. Let's do it. Okay, So you've got black cup,
• 40:13
  white cup is now okay? First one's fake. Yeah, coffee and Kareem
• 40:17
  is real? Black Cup, white cup rock. That is spot on JP.
• 40:22
  That is excellent niche Netflix knowledge of an ant Helm's movie from twenty twenty
• 40:28
  God, the pressure is on quick fun fact. Actually was a producer on
• 40:37
  Veronica Mars and Roading episode. Oh there's a weird spect about him for the
• 40:40
  day, a bit of Kareem knowledge, and that episode was called Coffee with
• 40:44
  Kareem En. That's what we were talking about. I didn't put the guy.
• 40:51
  Why did I not? Oh? Good stuff there, Mars there it
• 41:00
  is the final list. The Wywolf Bomb, Mitzvah, Hunchbacks, Swamp Monsters,
• 41:07
  two and a half, Headless Horseman. Can I get the first two?
• 41:15
  Again? I was? So we have we have it's a little it's
• 41:22
  a little Crypti themed. It's it's themed for Drew and carrying Waywood and Supernatural.
• 41:27
  There you go, Hunchbacks, swamp monsters, or two and a half
• 41:31
  Headless Horseman, Audrew. Do you have an inkling on any of these?
• 41:35
  No? I have no inklings. Okay, I feel like if if one
• 41:39
  of them had to be a real show, I could see like the History
• 41:44
  Channel doing a swamp monster show. So that's my bet for the real one.
• 41:50
  Hundless Yeah, two and a half Headless Horsemen just seems so out there,
• 41:54
  but it could still work. But I could also see hunchbacks being a
• 41:58
  sketch on their show of just like a recurring hunchback of Notre Dame joke.
• 42:02
  Oh, actually, now that I say it, I think it is.
• 42:06
  Maybe we'll go with that. If you have any memory of it, it
• 42:08
  is better. I can. I can see Jenna like with a hunchback like
• 42:13
  costume for some reason. If this is wrong, it's gonna be so weird.
• 42:17
  Oh God, I'm gonna be it's gonna be weird. If it's right,
• 42:22
  it's gonna be weird. If it's wrong, I think we just gotta
• 42:23
  we could just agree. It's all very way, it isn't it. I
• 42:25
  think the saddest part is I have to say that the two and a half
• 42:28
  Headless Horseman is fake, and that really makes me sacks. I want to
• 42:30
  see that now. I want to watch two and a half headless. If
• 42:32
  it's fake, that's so funny. Man. If it's if it's not yours,
• 42:37
  that's also very funny. But I could see it being your joke,
• 42:40
  and that just gets here. Okay, So I think I've got your your
• 42:45
  line up here, your answers. You're saying, hunchbacks is the ir rock
• 42:49
  yep, you're saying swamp monsters is real, well, yep. And two
• 42:52
  and a half Headless Horseman is a very funny joke that everybody loved. That
• 42:59
  was pretty much you got all three. Yeah. I watched Sam and Deane
• 43:05
  fight the two and a half hand those horsemen next time. Just the half
• 43:08
  one is just this little little cute guy. Um oh yeah, it's half
• 43:15
  half yeah, because you've lost the head so he's only half manly. When
• 43:25
  they have the drawing of a centaur and then Tom had it repainted him,
• 43:30
  I got part and then and he said that the pants behind the front legs
• 43:36
  or the back or the front arms or the back, that's such a good
• 43:40
  there's ns like Carrie, I'm like, God, is this a crossover episode?
• 43:47
  Way? And yes, Swamp Monsters drew almost exactly spotned. I think
• 43:52
  it's a discovery. Maybe not history, but it's definitely It's one of those
• 43:55
  type shows. When you said that I want to hold back I was thinking
• 44:00
  of I thought you were. You were absolutely correct too. I'm thinking of
• 44:04
  river monsters though, is it That's what I think I was thinking of.
• 44:08
  Yeah, exactly. And of course hunchbacks. I think it's when Jack's trying
• 44:13
  to come up with programming that it's during the whole Twilight thing of like werewolves
• 44:16
  and vampire as a populace, and let's try and make hunchback sexy. They
• 44:22
  should have gone mummies. I'm telling you, mummies can be sexy. Yeah,
• 44:24
  absolutely plenty to unwrap that one. Unlike my copy, that wasn't scripted.
• 44:36
  Okay, that's the end of round one. This is scripted. Let's
• 44:37
  take a look at what Frank's post ironic hat text is this week. It
• 44:42
  says scores time, and those scores are it's all tied the pasmtor on seven
• 44:47
  were Wolf Barmitzvah also on seven. Oh, I'm liking that. Okay.
• 44:54
  Up next is round two, But first we have to cut to our first
• 44:59
  set of ads. Ads drive this business lemon, getting someone to buy something
• 45:02
  they don't need based on a few lines of copy. That's real art.
• 45:06
  See you after this. Round two is called flash fiction. Thirty Rock is
• 45:16
  known for its joker second scripts, carefully crafted over a six month period in
• 45:22
  a professional writer's room. However, we'll be doing none of that today.
• 45:28
  In this game, I'll be asking our teams to compose a synopsis for a
• 45:31
  brand new episode of thirty Rock The Twist. They have to compose that synopsis,
• 45:36
  one word at a time, back and forth until they've reached a satisfying
• 45:40
  conclusion to their little piece of flash fiction. I'll give each team a word
• 45:45
  to start from, and they'll have a few minutes to say words back and
• 45:49
  forth until they compose a plot synopsis. Oh and I have a random word
• 45:52
  generator right here in principle, so I'll give you a bonus point if you
• 45:58
  can also include that word somewhere within your fiction. Oh yeah, totally optional.
• 46:02
  You don't have to, but it's it's there for a bonus point.
• 46:06
  If anybody listening to the show is not a Patriot subscriber, and they want
• 46:10
  an excuse to do it. To watch Audra's body language in the moment of
• 46:15
  described I've just get so stressed, Like I hate to put you on the
• 46:23
  spot, but it was so good. It's just I just turned to you
• 46:29
  and I don't know if you saw it, but I just robbed. I'm
• 46:31
  so sorry. I've done this before. I'm ready. Yeah. Each team's
• 46:37
  got a got a strong, strong improviser for sure, and I'm JP and
• 46:40
  new to the game, but I'm sure you'll do well. Yeah, Ultra,
• 46:45
  I gut panic in an entertaining way. Yeah, that's that's my that's
• 46:49
  my brand. It's less stressful than I think I make it out to be.
• 46:54
  Oh yeah, we would all like in all seriousness, yes, it
• 46:58
  absolutely is. Yeah, we'd be supportive of any word that comes out of
• 47:00
  your mouth. But no, let's begin with the pause. Men. Okay,
• 47:07
  um, your first word. The first word that you're going to start
• 47:12
  from is Liz okay, and Jason will then pick up from that, and
• 47:15
  then it will go to JP and back and forth. But the word to
• 47:19
  try and include at some point, I'm going to generate it now, lemon
• 47:22
  is if only imagine if out of all of the words in the English language,
• 47:28
  that's what it came up with me. The word is the word is
• 47:32
  pretty interesting. The word is tight. So the word is tight, and
• 47:38
  the starting word is Liz. Okay, take it away whenever you're ready.
• 47:42
  Jason Lemon discover Jack and cancer. Lemon discovers that Jack had discovers Jack has
• 47:55
  cancer and tight. There it is. What's that word tight? And what?
• 48:07
  Oh Mike, no, no tight? The word that that? Oh
• 48:10
  yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely no, no, no worries. Liz
• 48:15
  Lemon discovers Jack has cancer and tight. He screwed you over. I'm knock
• 48:25
  to the first word that comes to mind. Police, I don't know.
• 48:29
  I could do this. I could do this and started in a round and
• 48:32
  schedule. That's good. I always try to make them save butts a full
• 48:39
  stop jointing you sentence. So yeah, sure, yeah, going period.
• 48:44
  Yep. She decided to recruit Tracy two. Give doctor speckman. Yes,
• 48:58
  I'll take it. I'll take it. Whizz uh cyril in Uh, who's
• 49:07
  it? What's it? Archer? Yes? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
• 49:09
  um do you give doctor's face man a a nice ante. Okay,
• 49:16
  that's your time. Okay, you're thirty rock flots and up. This is
• 49:22
  this Liz Lemon discovers Jack has cancer and tight schedule. She decides to recruit
• 49:29
  Tracy to give doctor Specheman antidote or are you too he needed medicines? I
• 49:49
  get so happy that I would really if he can pull up Doctor's faith man
• 49:52
  from watching those days. Point all right, look out of Look, I'm
• 50:00
  going to knock a couple marks off for the grammar, but out out of
• 50:06
  five points, I'm gonna give you three points. But I'm also going to
• 50:07
  give you the bonus point for getting getting tight in there. So four points.
• 50:10
  Yes, yeah, not anywhere would normally put the words tie schedule well
• 50:22
  with bar mitzvah. Are you ready? I'm feeling great. I'm good.
• 50:27
  You did good. You can chill now. Okay, So the starting word
• 50:30
  the order is going to pick up from is Tracy. So that is the
• 50:36
  first word there. And the random word that I will now randomly generate,
• 50:39
  just genuinely proving that I'm doing this randomly. Yeah, is the word owner
• 50:45
  owner. I hardly know her now something. Oh no, So whenever you
• 50:54
  are ready, order to pick up from Tracy find out that his worth it
• 51:10
  um dog nice secretly has I didn't know if you could hear that. So
• 51:23
  I heard it. I'm so tended to use it. Another owner feeds him
• 51:38
  while jogging. The feeds while jogging. Would you like into the sentence,
• 51:44
  yes, yes, it's not you sentence aldra grizz, griz lovely What was
• 51:52
  the word grizz? One of Tracy's bodyguards chases the other owner. You don't
• 52:06
  get double points, I can't. You can't trying out of town, beautiful,
• 52:16
  there's your there's your episodes. Enough says right there here it is.
• 52:21
  Tracy finds out that his dog secretly has another owner who feeds him while jogging.
• 52:27
  Grice chases the other owner out of town. That's actually a really good
• 52:32
  I'm mad at how good of an idea. It's pretty solid. Like I
• 52:37
  can't remember if Tracy has a dog at any point, but I like dog.
• 52:40
  But just imagine him getting jealous because when the dogs going to the bath
• 52:45
  room like a job or maybe talking to me and on him, it's not
• 52:51
  just a random passer by giving food to a cute dog. He thinks it's
• 52:53
  like a secret, like he's a supercon owner. There we go. Yeah,
• 53:00
  perfect he's a good he's a good episode idea. I think we're gonna
• 53:02
  up the anti I'm gonna give I'm gonna i mean, four points out of
• 53:07
  five then plus the plus the bonus point. I'm not gonna give you the
• 53:09
  bonus point twice for getting the word in twice. That's good. It's a
• 53:14
  good effort though, of course, of five points there to wear wolf bum
• 53:17
  mitzvah. Very fair. But hey, look, we're all about second chances
• 53:22
  here. I mean, I don't know if we are. I've just said
• 53:23
  it now, maybe we're not. Um, So we're gonna have another pass
• 53:28
  each to come up with a synopsis and a bit of flash fiction. So
• 53:30
  let's move back on over to the pos men. Your first word this time
• 53:37
  is the word disaster. Oh so, disaster is going to be the starting
• 53:43
  word, and your bonus words generated randomly right now? Vessel, terrible,
• 53:50
  vessel, I'm so sorry. That's a roughin so JP, you're gonna kick
• 53:58
  this one off following on from disaster whenever you're ready struck exclamation mark perfect,
• 54:07
  okay, nice um and liz An a n oh and no, just just
• 54:20
  the word like a but oh oh uh uh yeah, it's not. It's

• 54:32

• 54:44
  are words that? What's the one English I have to start with? Okay?
• 54:51
  Uh? An alien? Hold on? I can't use that because you
• 54:55

• 55:55
  his rat catching? Does it make any sense? Vessel? Vessel? All
• 56:00
  right? Will will catch catch anteater? We've done it. I mean,
• 56:15
  how big is this rat catching vessel? Yeah? That's the much more humorous
• 56:22
  way to look at it. Thank you, Joe. Your episode synopsis for
• 56:27
  this fantastic episode of thirty Rock is disaster has struck an antiter has broken into
• 56:32
  thirty Rock. Kenneth learns his rat catching vessel will catch the antiter. I
• 56:40
  love it, ant eaters. I would watch that episode in a heartbeat.
• 56:44
  I love that that was the exact kind of chaos that I reward well on
• 56:50
  this show. I'm going to hand out another four points with the bonus point
• 56:53
  for the use of the word vessel, for five points total. There for
• 56:57
  the buzz men. I mean, I'm in fun. I just forgot how
• 57:05
  grammar works. I was like, what proceeds? What's end? Succeeds an
• 57:09
  end? Yeah, it's the English language. It's the worst language. It's
• 57:23
  got a bit, gotta be a vowel and a verb. It's gonna be
• 57:29
  two. Also from the show Good Reference Soldier, Um okay. One final
• 57:37
  plot synopsis from Werewolf bumts for Last Chance that points in this round, your
• 57:42
  first word that you'll be starting from and following on from Drew is love.
• 57:47
  So love will be the first word you have there and the word randomly generated
• 57:52
  that you must include shower. So U yeah, love is I can't just
• 58:07
  say patient. But it's your's your it's your improgram in the air. Oh
• 58:20
  do you also want an exclamation point? Yes? Okay, tonight, swap
• 58:28
  it out? Are we having? Love is in the air? Tonight?
• 58:32
  Love is in the air? Ellipses or exclamation mark or both? Got yeah,
• 58:36
  got yeah, got yeah. Yeah. Tonight's Jenna. We haven't used
• 58:42
  Jenna. Jenna falls four her shower repairman. I was trying to psychically see
• 58:59
  I was doing the same don't you worry one more sentence? He secretly loves
• 59:10
  only shower. Yes, it's just the greatest refixing of the format. And
• 59:20
  then as Adre gets stuck on the org, She's just like, when when
• 59:25
  this word say showers, do you call you calling it on that called time?
• 59:30
  Even I was really starting butts for the last word. Okay, love
• 59:42
  is in the air. Tonight Jenni falls for her shower repairman. He secretly
• 59:50
  loves only showers. That sounds very dirty rock. That sounds like a website
• 59:55
  I subscribe to only showers. Oh they've got a filter on their shower heads.
• 1:00:01
  Oh my god, shower headed baths power. Yeah, it's not being
• 1:00:10
  sexible, it's just people showing the shower heads. Just actually good interior design.
• 1:00:15
  I think that at one point in time, Tracy has a magazine on
• 1:00:20
  his table that's just one hundred best buckets. It's just his bucket list,
• 1:00:29
  the best that is so good. So it fits the vibe. It's the
• 1:00:35
  right, Okay, I'm I'm gonna go just reading out loud. It was
• 1:00:39
  very funny in the moment, reading out loud not show how well it is
• 1:00:44
  done competed to the other. I'm gonna have three points plus the bonus point
• 1:00:47
  for that one. That's a four points total out for possible sex. I
• 1:00:52
  think we're still tied up. Yep, I think we are. Oh man,
• 1:00:55
  I didn't need to steal your lightning. No, no, you could
• 1:00:59
  know you listen, JP, you've listened to a fair few episodes of gate
• 1:01:02
  Leapers. I think I think you know what kind of tricks I'm playing here.
• 1:01:06
  I'm intentionally tying it up to make it more tense. What's liar?
• 1:01:12
  Okay, that is the end of the round. Let's ask Josh or Danny
• 1:01:15
  or one of the other Pointless cast members to deliver the latest scores. Seriously,
• 1:01:21
  did they ever do anything good in the show? I don't know.
• 1:01:22
  Okay, the Puzman on sixteen points well with barmits, but also on sixteen
• 1:01:29
  points, it's still tied the bonus points hung up on the words. Up
• 1:01:43
  next is round three, and we'll just be playing a normal trivia game and
• 1:01:46
  absolutely nothing weird will happen. I promise, but we'll be right back after
• 1:01:51
  this ad aimed at the elderly. Round three is called Leite Gapers. It's
• 1:02:02
  the NBC Universal Family Commission spinoff game show of the not so successful podcast gate
• 1:02:08
  Leapers. For this game, they hired someone to pose for us, a
• 1:02:14
  leite gaper, if you will, someone who is elite at a well,
• 1:02:19
  you know, god, no, I think it just occurred to me.
• 1:02:23
  Here is my crude drawing. Oh, you are ridiculous. I can't read
• 1:02:34
  it, but so don't worry, JP, don't worry, JP. I've
• 1:02:37
  got you. I've got you. So in turn, I will ask our
• 1:02:40
  teams to pick a word from the leite Gaper board. It'll transpond to an
• 1:02:46
  IMDb style trivia question that I have here with a very simple question, very
• 1:02:52
  simple answer. Um, you can choose between the word on the left cheek,
• 1:02:55
  the right cheek, the left thigh, the right thigh, and the
• 1:03:00
  left hand or the right hand. And finally, after all six questions are
• 1:03:05
  answered, our teams will go head to head deep inside the whole of knowledge
• 1:03:09
  with one final question for both teams. So you know, it's a really
• 1:03:15
  crazy thought that I had to Yeah, as if NBC actually made a lead
• 1:03:19
  gaper show, which they never will, but if they would, I would
• 1:03:22
  watch the ship out of it because I'd be like, who's the Jason on
• 1:03:24
  this? Who they cast for? Jason? Really vain in that way?
• 1:03:29
  Yeah, yeah, about I could probably be so happy, I kind of.
• 1:03:40
  So we'll begin with the pause. Men, your words that correspond each
• 1:03:45
  to a question are clothes, photo, Disney, audition, absent, or
• 1:03:54
  marriage. I think I like Disney just because I know I feel like I
• 1:04:00
  know we picked one and that reveals a question or the words going to need
• 1:04:04
  to answer to that. No, they will just reveal a question. It's
• 1:04:09
  just thematic to a question. Yeah, he'd the ask man go with them,
• 1:04:14
  all right, Yes, you reveal a lot on this podcast, Jason.
• 1:04:19
  I'm not gonna lie. Okay, so you are going you are going
• 1:04:24
  with the question on the left thigh. But by the way, if anyone's
• 1:04:28
  not picking up, this is me trying to do a thirty rock style skit
• 1:04:30
  in the form of a gate leaper's round, just for any listeners at home.
• 1:04:32
  I don't just like drawing gaping anuses. Okay, So, but I
• 1:04:38
  assume he had to practice at some point today. I did rub it out
• 1:04:42
  a few times away. It's on a white board. Okay, your question
• 1:04:50
  from the left, I relating to Disney. Scott adds it. Who plays
• 1:04:54
  producer Pete is also the voice of one of Disney's leading characters. Who does
• 1:05:00
  he voice? Is it a bay Max from Big Hero six, b Stitch
• 1:05:05
  from Leelo and Stitch or see Pete from Pete Dragon? O? N I
• 1:05:13
  know the answer you anwer know? Just say it? Why? Aday?
• 1:05:20
  Oh? Is it b Max? Wow? Huh? I think you throw
• 1:05:25
  Pete for Pete Dragon throw off there, but I'm pretty sure you caught me
• 1:05:31
  on. No, it's not the second one, so that's how I got
• 1:05:33
  there. Yeah, it is absolutely bay Max from Big Hero six. He
• 1:05:38
  voices bay Max good stuff. That's why I didn't know that he's killing it.
• 1:05:43
  Yeah. Okay, so we'll move on over to Werewolf bar mitzvah.
• 1:05:45
  Disney is gone, but you can choose any other word. Clothes, photo,
• 1:05:49
  audition, absent, marriage, Nothing jumps out to me right away,
• 1:05:56
  how about you? Yeah, Um, absent could be nothing out. Yeah,
• 1:06:00
  let's go for absolutely nothing. Since yes, that is the word on
• 1:06:05
  the right hand, which is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Um,
• 1:06:10
  why or a stretching motion. It's kind it's a kind of lifting.
• 1:06:16
  I'm going to delete all this. Your question is this, why did Tracy
• 1:06:21
  Morgan have to be written out of several episodes in season five? Was it
• 1:06:28
  A he had to have an emergency kidney transplant? Was it B he was
• 1:06:32
  filming an actual Tracy Jordan like movie called cop Out? Or was it C
• 1:06:40
  he got stranded in Europe for three weeks due to that whole icelandic ash cloud
• 1:06:44
  thing. Oh I hearing B. I really thought that was it, but
• 1:06:48
  because I think I do remember cop Out, Yeah, that sounds too familiar,
• 1:06:54
  Like I kind of wanted to be seeings. That's much a cooler thing
• 1:06:57
  to you know, reason to be stranded. It's because of a crazy cloud,
• 1:07:00
  and I do remember that being a thing, but I can't imagine it
• 1:07:03
  timing up. But neither gonna hit the movies. So one of those two?
• 1:07:08
  Yeah, we got fifty fifty? Um, do we want to go
• 1:07:13
  for the ash Cloud? Let's go with ash Cloud? More fun for the
• 1:07:15
  ash Cloud? Yeah, lovely, lovely bit of fun, lovely bit.
• 1:07:18
  They've been a poisonous gas for everyone. Just pump a too appropriate, very
• 1:07:25
  appropriate? Oh god, Okay, you are saying the icelandic ash cloud.
• 1:07:33
  It is not. He had to have an emergency kidney transplants. It was
• 1:07:36
  actually are screwed either way, the one that seemed really dangerous and serious.
• 1:07:46
  He wasn't cop out, but it was filmed between season four and season five,
• 1:07:49
  so it's been a trek. Okay, back on over to the pause,
• 1:07:56
  men, I will display the anus towards Jake Mack. You just can
• 1:08:00
  you just rub the words that are out from the police. Yes, just
• 1:08:04
  like this, Yeah, harder for the viewers at home. This is match
• 1:08:11
  wiping an ass. There we go, all right, thank you? Essential
• 1:08:15
  uh clothes, audition, photo and marriage. Do you know any trivia that
• 1:08:19
  might come into play right off the bat? JP, Okay, just take
• 1:08:24
  a word. He's ready for I'm intrigued by clothes. I have no idea
• 1:08:29
  what how do they were, where do they come from? What happens when
• 1:08:35
  we're done with it? The reference is just fantastic stuff. Okay, your
• 1:08:42
  question is from the left cheek. It is clothes who loved their wardrobe so
• 1:08:47
  much that they gave NBC a huge check at the end of the final season
• 1:08:53
  so they could take all of their characters clothes home. Was it a Alec
• 1:08:57
  Baldwin, b Tracy Morgan or see Jane Krakowski. I feel like, go
• 1:09:05
  ahead, who are you leaning towards? I was gonna say Tracy Morgan would
• 1:09:09
  do that if he's anything like Tracy Jordan. See. Okay, So here's
• 1:09:12
  my first audience that you put Jack out because all of his ships absolutely,
• 1:09:17
  absolutely, I mean they're nice suits, but sure, um. And then
• 1:09:20
  I think Tracy kind of dresses like Tracy does you know a big oversized shirts?
• 1:09:26
  Absolutely? You know, she's had to wear like a lot of fake
• 1:09:30
  opera opera, fake Oscar ceremonies and fake you know, pad and so I
• 1:09:34
  feel like she's got such a wide number of outfits. I don't know i'd
• 1:09:40
  lean towards her personally, but I'll go with what you can feel. Oh,
• 1:09:44
  I also thought she had a really great wardrobe. Would she pay money?
• 1:09:47
  I don't know much about her. Would she pay money for that?
• 1:09:50
  I feel like I know enough about Tracy Morgan that he might pay money for
• 1:09:54
  the track suits and so on. So was it paying money or was it
• 1:09:57
  just keeping them with thank you? Or yeah, it was giving NBC a
• 1:10:01
  huge check at the end of the final season to buy their wardrobe. Yeah
• 1:10:05
  all right, Jordan, then yeah, we're going with Tracy for that one.
• 1:10:12
  It's not this one's actually Alec Baldwin. Alec he wanted you did the
• 1:10:17
  same thing we did were Yeah, yeah, alright, cool by me because
• 1:10:23
  they had them all tailored, like yeah, yeah, you need tailored suits.
• 1:10:27
  Yeah, this is a good act. Well see that's just boring to
• 1:10:31
  me. But yeah, yeah, it's just the other two have much like
• 1:10:35
  fancy a ward that's what suits all the time. If I were oh yeah,
• 1:10:42
  weil for his daughter whatever. Yeah, older covered the joke at the
• 1:10:48
  top, I reckon okay, oh yes, sorry, no, I should
• 1:10:56
  set up the next thing. Okay, started looking into I prefer games Master.
• 1:11:10
  Okay, back over to Werewolf bumts. But you have three words left
• 1:11:13
  on your board. I still want to see where we did as already marriage
• 1:11:18
  yeahs wings us toged or this questions not about the Princess Bride. Well,
• 1:11:28
  there's a Gaatelier's episode right there. Yes, everyone made the references so it
• 1:11:32
  could work with this exact same crew. Um, okay, your question is
• 1:11:36
  from the right thigh. Two of the fictional writers in the writers room are
• 1:11:43
  married in real life and are also real life writers. But which too.
• 1:11:47
  You just have to name the characters that you think are married to each other.
• 1:11:51
  Oh, we don't get a multiple choice on this one. No multiple
• 1:11:54
  choices on this one. I'm sorry, don't remember. This one's a test
• 1:11:57
  to see how well you remember the names of the people in the well.
• 1:12:00
  I can start listen to the ones I know that was. It could be
• 1:12:08
  Um two Fur, Frank Lutts, blonde Girl. I'll accept. I'll accept
• 1:12:16
  that if you pay blonde girl with someone else, specifically any inkling. I
• 1:12:23
  don't know why, but because they shit on LUTs so much, I would
• 1:12:27
  want to say that it would be her and him, either her and Frank
• 1:12:31
  or her and Lutts. Who is the one who always wants to eat subway?
• 1:12:35
  Oh my god, I forgot about that bit I would go with.
• 1:12:39
  I mean, like, I guess this is fairly like heteronormative. I was
• 1:12:44
  about to say I would vote for Frank and two for they have the most
• 1:12:49
  they give each other the most shit. But I feel like if there was
• 1:12:53
  a gay couple in that show that I would know who they were. That's
• 1:12:58
  just the way member. But I think it's the real people are a couple.
• 1:13:02
  But even then, I think I would have like come across at some
• 1:13:04
  point in like the trivia of the show. I would have been like a
• 1:13:06
  standoun thing for me. So being hetero normani is why I don't remember it.
• 1:13:11
  I assume, yeah, that's that's normative working for good for once,
• 1:13:16
  or it's the most boring gay couple and you're like, yeah, sure,
• 1:13:20
  whatever, there has to be one somewhere, blonde girl in LUTs. Blonde
• 1:13:26
  girl and LUTs, let's do it. Her name a better. I don't
• 1:13:30
  have a better shout than that. Her name. Yeah, I'd like it,
• 1:13:32
  I'd I would, I would like it. Guess at the name I
• 1:13:34
  was also going to offer is I will take it. But also if JP
• 1:13:38
  knows the name of that, right, or I will give that team a
• 1:13:41
  point as well. My god, it's not it's not sorry, it's a
• 1:13:47
  good guess though, alright, no, not right, I'm gonna give you
• 1:13:54
  the point for it is LUTs and the blonde right. Her name is Sue,
• 1:13:58
  So you got the right couple. They're married in real life. I
• 1:14:00
  said Sue, like I did remember that? Remember that? Still still not
• 1:14:05
  clicking for me. I'm like, no, but she yeah, because she
• 1:14:10
  is or something like that, or German maybe yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:15
  They definitely make jokes about In my head, I knew who they were talking
• 1:14:18
  about it. Yeah, they were right, But I had no idea of
• 1:14:20
  her name either. I don't know why. I mean, if you think
• 1:14:25
  I think she is German, I think she does have a German surname.
• 1:14:28
  So so it's Stilly German. That's in my mind. There we go.
• 1:14:31
  Look, it's there's a lot of stereotypes in thirty Rocks, so it's if
• 1:14:35
  it's if it's okay, we have one word left each for each team.
• 1:14:41
  Back on over to the pos men. I feel like JP's going to kill
• 1:14:45
  audition. You're gonna go with gonna go with audition. Your question corresponding to
• 1:14:51
  audition is, thus, which actor who would go on to appear in thirty
• 1:14:57
  Rock later on originally auditioned for the role of Jack Donaghee. Was it a
• 1:15:03
  Steve Martin, b John Hamm or see Jason Sadakis mean of them doing this,
• 1:15:14
  they've all done it, They've all me and they've all come on the
• 1:15:15
  show. Um, I immediately thought John Hamm before he even I read the
• 1:15:21
  options, because like that's like a Donne type of mad Men's type. But
• 1:15:26
  they're all great options, but I'm just saying that I'm gonna say that one
• 1:15:30
  was my guest because before I even heard the options, I'm like, it's
• 1:15:32
  gonna be John Hamm because I know he was also in it. Yea,
• 1:15:35
  Okay, that's that's huge because I of those three, I would think John
• 1:15:39
  A. Ham because he, like you said, played in mad Men,
• 1:15:44
  but also played a similar character in the way that he gave that performance in
• 1:15:49
  Madmen, like the vocal patterns is very Jack Donnigh and the character he played
• 1:15:55
  later. I think he was in a bubble of handsomness if I'm not mistaken,
• 1:15:58
  so he was unaware how bad he was everything. Yes, and you
• 1:16:02
  guys fancy too. I think he has to cutting his hands off or something
• 1:16:05
  at the surgeon because he's just really dumb and he realizes he's not the bubble
• 1:16:10
  or something. Yeah, I'm really something that's so funny. He's so funny.
• 1:16:16
  You should search out his snls. He's one of those guys who's not
• 1:16:19
  reading any of the You can tell he's not reading the promise, he's not
• 1:16:24
  rehearse, and she is natural and he just killed at anything you see him.
• 1:16:28
  I love it. He's like he's done the show, comedy, bang
• 1:16:30
  thing, this podcast too, and he's just always willing to make fun of
• 1:16:32
  himself or be goofy. And I love celebrities like that. Yeah, and
• 1:16:38
  hopefully you know what of that? He is also the right answer to this
• 1:16:42
  question. John hamp did originally audition, but Jack Dunnigan, I thought that
• 1:16:46
  was like the compout, what if it was way too easy of like,
• 1:16:49
  well, he wouldn't play like the mad Men character again, but in a
• 1:16:51
  comedy, that's like such a fake, such a set up. Nope,
• 1:16:57
  I don't know timing wise though that I don't know if mad Man very first.
• 1:17:00
  Actually they must have started around the same time. Yeah, pretty close,
• 1:17:03
  Yeah, close to it. I think if I can be the funny
• 1:17:08
  businessman, I'll be the serious business man. So that's audition gone, which
• 1:17:15
  leaves the final word, which is photo. It's a photo? Is your
• 1:17:19
  final word? On the left hand? There? Where did this photo of
• 1:17:23
  a gaping asshole? Comes my mind? Okay? And previously a mirror I'm
• 1:17:36
  more impressed with a contortion is quite skillet? Yeah, okay, I'm just
• 1:17:47
  looking for the word. I love how your thumb is bigger than the rest
• 1:17:50
  of your fingers. Which famous friend of Tina phase appears in a photo on
• 1:17:59
  Jack donag He's window sill behind his desk throughout season four? WHOA Is it
• 1:18:04
  a Amy Pola, b Julia Louis Dreyfus or see Kristen Wig damn it?
• 1:18:14
  Amy Polar is where my mind went initially? Yeah, yeah, but I
• 1:18:18
  don't I can't think of any reason why why would Jack have Maybe it's not
• 1:18:24
  intentional, but I could also see, like Julia Louis Dreyfus being like such
• 1:18:28
  a serious businesswoman kind of character that would make sense for him to like admire
• 1:18:31
  her for some reason. Yeah, but I don't know. I can't think
• 1:18:36
  of a reason why Amy them would be there. And Amy Polar was kind
• 1:18:40
  of like the John Hamm was the one that came to me first as an
• 1:18:42
  obvious choice. So so I I think, yeah, let's go with it,
• 1:18:48
  saying Amy Pola, Yep, it's no, it's Kristen Wigg is there.
• 1:18:55
  I don't know if it's meant to be her or she's just meant to
• 1:18:57
  be like a stock photo or a different family mber or something, but yep,
• 1:19:00
  she's there throughout season four on a photo on Jack's window. Um.
• 1:19:05
  I only find out about that because of IMDb trivia. Everyone, okay,
• 1:19:11
  scrolling through Hulu for season four. So now we enter the black hole of
• 1:19:18
  knowledge. Oh right, both teams, both teams, you have now and
• 1:19:27
  entered the whole. I was going to use a different word there, but
• 1:19:30
  no, okay, instead of the I was gonna say my now, I've
• 1:19:45
  so welcome to the whole of knowledge. Um. There is one final question,
• 1:19:51
  thank you, I like to like to accommodate. Um. There is
• 1:19:56
  one final question that will be for both teams that is numerical. The closest
• 1:20:00
  answer wins. All right, So here's the question. One clue confirms which
• 1:20:08
  year the Immortal page Kenneth Parcel started working at NBC. So what year did
• 1:20:15
  Kenneth start working at NBC. I have a vague memory of a rough year
• 1:20:20
  this happened, Like, I don't know why this comes to mind is a
• 1:20:24
  trivia thing, but I think I know it. Okay, Audred, you
• 1:20:27
  have it to any like speciation? Well, no, do you want to
• 1:20:31
  throw out your your gambit first? Then, Drew, I feel like I
• 1:20:35
  remember, like even like one of those like today I learned on reddits or
• 1:20:39
  something, but I think he started in like nineteen seventy five or something.
• 1:20:42
  What Okay, okay, Like it's a running joke like he gives an age
• 1:20:45
  and he's like secretly immortal that he's been there forever. Oh okay, so
• 1:20:49
  we've got nineteen seventy five from Werewolf bar mitzvah? Can we can? We
• 1:20:54
  have a guess from the pas met is the goal to get closer without going
• 1:20:58
  over right, well or to get closer. It's just purely purely closer on
• 1:21:03
  this one. I think whoever has the closestne but it doesn't matter if you
• 1:21:06
  both all below. Okay, well they needed way nineties day. Um,
• 1:21:12
  you're right, you're on the right track, and I definitely agree. I
• 1:21:15
  just think it's earlier because Kenneth is like one hundred and sixty years old.
• 1:21:18
  Um, as this slowly throughout the entire season, little things come up to
• 1:21:24
  indicate he's very old, and I think he's like one hundred and six one
• 1:21:27
  hundred and nine when he meets lizzs Brand. But I just really feel like
• 1:21:30
  when those guys came on, like Hardy Corman type or like not hard because
• 1:21:34
  it. It was like, yeah, pretty in something us so much more
• 1:21:45
  knowledgeable than Alice. I'm shook. So I feel like he was there in
• 1:21:48
  the fifties or sixties, and I feel like that's just say nineteen sixty one.
• 1:21:56
  You happy without Jason. Jason's mouth is open. There's this like a
• 1:21:59
  lot like Platoists that I just completely have. Kenneth was the smoke monster.
• 1:22:05
  Let me yeah, let me ask Jason. You have watched four out of
• 1:22:10
  seventy five episodes and you're like, yeah, he never saw it. This
• 1:22:17
  is this is when they reboot the timeline flashpoint style, Kenneth is in the
• 1:22:24
  bottom of the hatch to actually be any the whole time. He was a
• 1:22:30
  ghost the whole time with his wife. Wasn't just not talking the whole time?
• 1:22:38
  So, uh, the six sense maybe. Okay, So we've got
• 1:22:43
  a couple of answers. I've got the right answer in front of me,
• 1:22:46
  But who is closest the point is going to the pause? Men? Yeah,
• 1:22:50
  because the Colt answer is nineteen thirty six like them? Okay, all
• 1:22:56
  right? As as he refused, he reveals that during his first year of
• 1:23:00
  employment, an eight year old Shirley Temple taught him how to roll a cigarette.
• 1:23:08
  So that's how fans have put together that he started working there in nineteen
• 1:23:11
  thirty six. So he really is immortal, Jason, It's not just so
• 1:23:15
  it's just a gag. It's real. I didn't know that Shirley Temple is
• 1:23:18
  eighty years old back then. That's eighty eight years old. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:23:23
  eight yeah, an eight year old old cigarette. Oh that's the end
• 1:23:29
  of a round. Three. Let's head on over to our appointment with doctor
• 1:23:31
  spur Cherman to see if he can use that big science brain to calculate the
• 1:23:36
  latest scores. And those scores are Werewolf bar Mitzvah are on seventeen points,
• 1:23:44
  but the pos men are in the lead with nineteen points. We finally did
• 1:23:48
  it. Still play you got to you gotta slight lead. But anything can
• 1:23:57
  happen in the quick by a round, of course. But before the quick
• 1:24:00
  fire around, let's talk prizes. It's a famous Rocks mat Is. Honestly,
• 1:24:08
  that might be better than what I've got. I'm not I'm not actually
• 1:24:10
  confident on these ones. They're not as strong this. These are all better.
• 1:24:19
  You're all such good I'll read it anyway, but I'll leave what you
• 1:24:25
  said in and this episode, star prize is the concept of innovation. Nothing
• 1:24:30
  would get made at thirty Rock without the innovative business practices of Jack Donaghee and
• 1:24:36
  Ge and Ge, and we believe in that here too. That's why our
• 1:24:40
  format has been roughly the same for fifty episodes. But our winning team will
• 1:24:45
  also receive a lifetime subscription to Peacock the Cock, but it will end in
• 1:24:53
  twenty twenty five when NBC Universal is bought by Amazon. We do not cover
• 1:24:57
  that the right before they go out of business, almost almost suddenly. If
• 1:25:02
  they listen to my letters, they will. How do you listen to a
• 1:25:08
  letter He's got your millennial? All right? All right, okay, we
• 1:25:24
  have one round left to go and it's all to play for. But first
• 1:25:27
  let's have one last set of commercials. And remember they are smart ads,
• 1:25:31
  so the body pillar you're about to be sold is based on your browsing data.
• 1:25:35
  Okay, James franco. Oh final quick fire round is called RSVP two
• 1:25:48
  dot dot dot exclamation mark. In this game, I'll reveal the fictional address
• 1:25:57
  from a major media property. Because as always, the final round will test
• 1:26:00
  your broader pop culture knowledge. All our players have to do is named the
• 1:26:05
  show or movie that address is from, so obviously with thirty Rock, we've
• 1:26:10
  got thirty Rockefeller Plaza is the location, and RSVP in this game stands for
• 1:26:16
  real storytelling venues. Please, what is the two for the two? That's
• 1:26:24
  just like, oh, okay, yeah, it's t t O. I
• 1:26:28
  know we've had problems with words on this audio media in this episode so far,
• 1:26:32
  but we genuine genuinely I might cut this, I might leave it in.
• 1:26:36
  Until I was about fourteen fifteen, I thought that RSVP stood for reply
• 1:26:42
  as soon as very please. I love that. I love that. I
• 1:26:49
  love that so much, so pure Okay, you guys, you guys know
• 1:26:54
  the winds familiar with that term. Yes, So, up until I was
• 1:26:59
  very I mean in my twenties, I thought it was windshield factor the whole
• 1:27:02
  life as a kid. Uh No, my brother who's won like every school
• 1:27:06
  award he could and graduate at the top of his class, uh sat with
• 1:27:11
  me in a restaurant and legitimately had the realization that pancakes are cakes made in
• 1:27:15
  a pan. Nice. Nice. I never thought of it. Yeah,
• 1:27:20
  are you all just realizing that? But look, while we're doing this,
• 1:27:25
  I had this is I believe I've got the cherry. On top of all
• 1:27:27
  of this, I had a friend at age eighteen who read a girl's name
• 1:27:31
  out loud in the in the college class, genuinely and read it as pino
• 1:27:35
  Lope and never once in his entire life because the name Penelope or seen the
• 1:27:43
  name Penelope. And so he was like, pinot is literally happened in my
• 1:27:49
  life, and I was the one who did it. I'm dead, he's
• 1:27:54
  gone. He's gonna say no, You're gonna say penelope because I read it
• 1:27:59
  so much as a kid. And then they were like all these words like
• 1:28:01
  I wasn't these social you don't say them out? Oh yeah yeah, and
• 1:28:05
  yep, pino Lope was one of mine. I could think of a couple
• 1:28:10
  others. Definitely one we were doing mythology and I think I said when we
• 1:28:17
  were it was APIs or something maybe anyways, Yeah, that was me who
• 1:28:20
  did that. But it's universe. It's universe. Yeah, I've done it
• 1:28:27
  with grotesque you like I remembers the Phone. We've all done that one.
• 1:28:38
  I definitely did that. As I said, urs the phone and pino Lope,
• 1:28:41
  those are the two that I remember. These, it's these pe names
• 1:28:45
  honestly, Yeah, um, okay, should we get to quick fire around?
• 1:28:48
  Sure we do. Yay. There is a little gate leaper's twist,
• 1:28:55
  of course, because it can't just be simple. I would like you to
• 1:28:58
  say, Liz Lemons in multiple words of I want to go to there before
• 1:29:02
  you give your answer. So whatever your answer is, I want you to
• 1:29:05
  say, I want to go to there, and then the name of the
• 1:29:09
  media property. So for example, if I said, yeah, I got
• 1:29:15
  a package here for seven forty two ever Green Terror Spring Wolves, Yes,
• 1:29:21
  Drew, I want to go to there, Simpson's perfect. That's exactly how
• 1:29:26
  you do it. That's exactly how you play this game. So you remember
• 1:29:30
  the buzzing I want to go to there, and then the answer. It's
• 1:29:32
  a lot of things to hold in my mind. It's a lot of things.
• 1:29:34
  It's messy, okay, yes, yes, let's practice the practice the
• 1:29:41
  things. Uh we got pas men? And are you saying werewolves by mitzpah?
• 1:29:46
  Where wolves? Where wolves? You need to where something? You have
• 1:29:50
  something? Now you both have the same signal. But that's not confusing.
• 1:29:59
  It like over surfing a little mad individuals, So it's not confusing because you
• 1:30:05
  see the hands attached to that's true. That's true the patrons get Yeah,
• 1:30:12
  that's the same. I don't know who I'm seeing it. I'm just gonna
• 1:30:15
  I'm just gonna stop the timer and stop reading questions, all right. Yeah,
• 1:30:18
  I got a package here for a two to one b Baker Street Werewolves.
• 1:30:25
  That's gonna be Drew. I want to go there, Sherlock Holmes Spawn.
• 1:30:30
  That's the points many right, the books, the show, it's always
• 1:30:36
  been too want to be Baker Street. Yeah, I got a package here
• 1:30:41
  for one two four con Street Bikini Bottom Pacific Ocean Werewolves. I think it's
• 1:30:48
  gonna be JP. I haven't watched it, but I'm pretty sure. Square
• 1:30:53
  fans, I'm so sorry. I can't give you it. I can't give
• 1:30:57
  you it. I'm gonna throw it over Aldred You is it Swooper or Patrick?
• 1:31:01
  Oh, but it's just the show. I want to go to their
• 1:31:04
  SpongeBob Square. Yes, I'm sorry, it was that. I want to
• 1:31:08
  go to that. By my own rules, you absolutely had the right answer.
• 1:31:14
  But I've got to make the madness of gate leapers be a thing.
• 1:31:17
  I literally will never buzz in correctly. Wait what you can buzz in?
• 1:31:23
  And then Jason can say I want to go to there for you, So
• 1:31:26
  that'll work as long as as as as long as I hear it from Okay,
• 1:31:32
  next one, Yeah, I got a package here for back end,
• 1:31:36
  back shot. I think it's I think it's just Audre. I think it'd
• 1:31:42
  be just Audre. I want to go to their Lord of the Ring.
• 1:31:45
  Yes, the Lord of the Rings are the hobbit, I'll take it.
• 1:31:47
  This is where we come back. Hold on next address. Yeah, I've
• 1:31:51
  got a package for four private drive little Winging. I kind of I honestly
