• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The peak in prop puts on quick turnaround.

  Speaker 2: you stitched rats on top of headbands, like toy rats
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: on top of headbands, not real rats.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: They were adorable. They were and I was like, gosh,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I hope people want to wear these because it'll be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it'll it'll be fun and it'll be great for the sketch.

  Speaker 1: Everyone loved them so much they took them home perfect.

  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Henry is one of them.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: There was a Henry.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: There was a Henry.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Good rat name.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's a good rat name.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I feel like anything that is sort of an old English,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: like what an English Victorian schoolboy would be called? Alliver
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: would be a good rat name. Oh, Reggie Reggie shot
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: for Reginald of course, sure for Reginald, Reggie the rat,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Reggie the rat.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Ah. I was so pleased. The show went incredibly well
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and everyone had a great time.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had a great A few good men's style
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: lawyer speech of like trying to defend the concept of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: being rattaitueed and how while performing open hearts, while performing
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: open heart surgery, and that you know, humans have a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: right to be rattitu They have a right to scoop
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: up a rat and have it puppet them.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pilot their arms while pulling their hair. It's that's fine.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that should be allowed. Really, the sketch was
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: just a thinly veiled metaphor for artificial intelligence human's reliance
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on it. But everyone consumed it like it was just
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a funny rat sketch, But actually there was there was subtext.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And we're healing the nation.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I think we're healing the nation.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: That's what I've got to tell myself in order to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: stay sane. I think, yeah, I'm on board percent. We
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: can save the world with rats.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: A thinly veiled metaphor.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: A thinly veiled metaphor.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Bonus round.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: We're here.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We're here our first true episode.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: The real one. The last one was fake. This is real.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: The last one was a fake episode. But anyone who
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: listened to it is still a real one.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, I like that. That's great, and crucially you are real.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Don't panic, don't panic, please sort of star off. Let's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: talk about some general admin is.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Always is it still listed as general admin?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Still listed as general admin in my notes?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we've got some less than general admin. Gasp, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: gasp right, yeah, I reckon. It's the it's big news,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: big admin, big admin.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Ah, sergeant admins.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Slegeant, what's of a general admiral admin that actually works?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Admiral admin, Admiral admin, Admiral tia admin.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we have booked the local theater for our live
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in person human show.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are going to do Fandemonium live at the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Peak Improv Theater on May the twenty fourth of this year,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: May the twenty fourth be with you.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are making it a Star Wars themed show,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: so we're going to call it May the twenty fourth,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: be with you, just like the Star Wars people say.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I love this because our show is anarchic, antarctic, anarchic,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: anarchic game show, and so I think if we booked
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it on May the fourth, one, it's probably a weekday.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So that's fun. But also people might have an expectation
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that things will be by the book.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, standard Star Wars people would expect on May the fourth,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: but on.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: May the twenty fourth, be with you. That's a joke. Yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: already we're coming in hat.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: We're unseerious people, and we're going to be unserious about
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a beloved fandom.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Mm hm, so you already know what you're getting in for.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We'll have ticket links closer to the dates. If you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: are based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, or I'm going to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: say it, if you're based in Colorado, you can you
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: can travel a little bit, I reckon. Yeah, So we'll
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: have tickets available closer to the time. But for now,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that's just a really cool thing to announce that we'll
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be doing a pandemonium. The thing that started as a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: way to play game shows with friends during the pandemic
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: has now over the years evolved into friends and occasional
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: guests playing game shows for laughs and fun that lots
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: of people seem to enjoy. Absolutely, we're going to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: doing it live in front of a live audience for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the first time, live live.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I love it now. That was the Admiral admin. Yes,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the general admin.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well we can say it deputy admin.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: The deputy of the private admin.

  Speaker 1: Incredible. So we have received a muse yes from Aaron Randolph. Yes,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Aaron Hell, Yes, absolutely love erin.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you. First of all, can I say thank you Aaron?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Second of all, can I say if you're also if
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you're listening to this and on the gate Leapers cast
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and you weren't on an episode but you wanted to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: share what your muse would have been from that episode,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: please email in just like Aaron did.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I would love to hear. I want
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to hear everyone's muse for every fandom.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And this is also our experiment to find out if
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio have artificially inflated numbers and it's actually just thus
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: group of friends listening to this podcast. So this this
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: will be the test gang.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm going to read Aaron's muse yes please,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: he has not specified a stage direction for me, so
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I shall read it as myself.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair, that's fair.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Hi, Gateleapers, Aaron Randolph here. Yes, I've decided that I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: not involved enough in the Bone Round, so I had
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to write a muse.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, Aaron coming up Laza to host the versus Ultra segments.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, you're not involved enough in the Bonus Round. You
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: were correct, be involved more as it happens. I'm just
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: not a reality TV person. But there is exactly one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: show that intrigued me enough to start watching and then
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: keep watching and then be sad that it was over.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It was called Strip Search, and do not be fooled
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: by the name.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: There.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: No, there were no polls involved. Penny Arcade commissioned Canadian
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: sketch comedy group Loading Ready Run to produce a show
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: where sixteen webcomic creators live together in a house and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: compete in art challenges, getting eliminated one by one in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: head to head art offs until the final winner gets
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a year long contract and their webcomic produced under Penny
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Arcades banner.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Oh nice, Okay.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: The reason I loved it so much is because it
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: is so different to any reality show I've ever seen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: All of the contestants are quirky and interesting as hell,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and there's literally no in fighting or shitty behavior. The
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: one contestant who starts the competition in a reality TV
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: headspace comes to regret it before long. It's so positive
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and wholesome and literally wall to wall awesome and hilarious art.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: The only downside is they did only one season, but
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they did produce a documentary following up with Everyone in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: their Lives a year later, and that was the only
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: reality TV show I'd say I ever watched from beginning
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to end until The Traders anyway, of course, of course,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: but that's just because it's really a big hidden identity game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And also Claudia Winkelman can do no Russ Yes, yes
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to all of that, Hugs, yes to that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Aaron Randolph, Yes, hugs Aaron, hugs Latha when you host
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: My Passus Ultra, I've never heard of that reality show before.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I enjoy the pun uh huh of strip search. Yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I now get that, mm hmm. But that does sound cool,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and it does. I don't know. The talent competitions were
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: set so early in a precedent of like, it's the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: big record companies and Simon Cowell's going to offer you
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a million dollars to make an album. The drive to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: reward creativity was set very early on by the mainstream
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: of reality TV, and so there wasn't chance for them
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to be like the small grassroots of entertaining ways of
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: giving bursaries.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you are someone who wants to champion
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: people's art, you can do that by giving them money,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: giving them an opportunity, et cetera. But also by creating
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: an entertaining show, you are showing a lot of people
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the work that this person can do and how talented
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: they are. And so you can do that in multiple ways.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You can pay artists to be on a show. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: can pay artists when they win. You can pay artists
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: by all the people who will pay them for their art.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Who's you've now seen them on TV? Yeah, can then
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: find them on social media. So even just being on
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the lineup would be something.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so you really get to give exposure to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a lot more artists.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, we've just justified paying for exposure.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: No, I did say you can. You should pay artists
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for being on the show.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, you've got to be a paid cast member.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, I said that, Yeah you did.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You did say that. I just realized the conclusion we
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: were both coming to that I saw into that conversation.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was an element. God damn it. But thank
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you so much, Aeron.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that is inspiring, absol. That's a good muse
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: for reality TV especially. Yeah, that was good hearing a
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: muse that isn't normally something that Aaron would be into.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We can often be inspired by things that are outside
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of our comfort zone.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of pushing you to move in a different
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: direction than you normally would have stayed.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's a good thing. Thank you, Eron, Thank you,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And if you would like order to read your muse
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: out send your muse send us what inspires you about
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: any of the fandoms we've covered here on the gate
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Leapers podcast feed, basically about any fandom at all. What
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: inspires you about any fandom?
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like a good way to get a
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: fandom we haven't done on the list is to send
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: me a muse about it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: That is such a good shout.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Like if there's a fandom that you're like, this is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a big fandom and we, like you guys, have not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: touched it, send us a muse.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh, that that would spark the inspiration that would
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: make an episode happen. Absolutely send that's a gateleapers at
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: gmail dot com. Do it now, you coward, You're not
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a coward. I'm so sorry.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. That was really aggressive of us. And
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: now onto the segment I believe we called the lily
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Pad of irrelevancy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: We can't be sticking with that, can we?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: We can until we come up with anything better.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, sure, that's fine. Uh, what was the premise of
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: it was? Yeah, extra clippings? Was that also a phrase
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that was used?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do also have blank TBD clippings segment.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Blank TBD clipping. That's worse.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lily Pat of irrelevancy has sounded pretty pretty sweet.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But basically what I hope to do here is we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: can chat about some things that might not have made
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it into the last couple of episodes, because I know
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff might not be as funny,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: but it's still super interesting about the fandoms.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Too wordy for a game show, you.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, but I still love it. So we've got
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Twin Peaks and rom Coms two Biggs.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, two excellent episodes in January. I mean, first of all,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: got to shout out Drew Shulman for hosting Twin Peaks.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: What a fantastic job. Probably one of my favorite games
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: we've ever played is the Talking One. I could have
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: played that all afternoon.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. That was such a fun round. And I think
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that some of my favorite Pandemonium rounds are when I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: hear the description of this and I'm like, how is this?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: How the fuck? How is this going to work?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And then it does, and then we pull it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: off and we get like most the majority of them
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: were guessed right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So I was like, there's no way I'm going to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: be able to speak backwards or guess something backwards. It
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was so much fun.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. It was a good time, So
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: thank you Drew for that. But because of that, I
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: didn't really do any research for the episode itself, so
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: there wasn't anything that I was thinking of at the time,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: but obviously since we put that episode out, the world
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: has lost David Lynch. Yes, and I'm not going to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: be another thirty something hipster white dude who's talks for
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: a long time about how much David Lynch meant to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: me as an artist. You've seen that a lot on
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the Internet in the last couple of weeks. That's pretty
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: much what the internet has been other than politics.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We'll give you a little bit of a repriet. Yeah, Yeah,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: from that, it was great. I loved his work.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: That's it. But yeah, it's pretty weird timing for us
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to have done the Twin Peaks episode and for us
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to lose David Lynch.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Very weird timing, but honestly pretty good in the sense
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that we have a recent celebration of David Lynch. Yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: so that we get to feel like, gosh, we really
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: delved into David Lynch recently, and so it feels the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: freshest and most celebrated.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Definitely. Yeah. I do wonder how much more euphoric it
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: would have felt if it was recorded after the fact
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and there would have been some catharsis there. But we
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: did find some cais this past weekend when we were
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: putting the sketcher on and for our sort of mixed
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: media ad section where we were doing some we spent
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: a day recording some audio sketches, doing some visualizers. We
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: were kind of brainstorming, Okay, what's current right now? What
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: can we make the ads? And I was like, well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: we lost David Lynch, can we do something with that?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And the idea came about to do a David Lynch
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: McDonald's commercial. Uh huh if everyone was waiting on his
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: last loss work. But it just turned out to be
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a McDonald's commercial.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It was so much fun to be in that one
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: because I got to be agent Dale Cooper m lifelong.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Dream, dream fulfilled, dream.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Fulfilled, getting to play that and getting to celebrate David
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Lynch in a fun and jovial way in our community.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. They did lights flashing and I ordered
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a rabbit burger. There was a video of black ooze
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: coming out of a fries container. I think David Lynch
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: would have loved it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you made out with the cashier while someone riding
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a horse danced in the background.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: If you haven't seen anything made by David Lynch, this
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: is well fever.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Dream But if you had, I hope you'll agree. It
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: was a fun little homage to do in what was
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: fair to say was probably the sketch that got the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: fewest laughs. But it was fun to do.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, me and Anna, the girl who played the cashier,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: we were laughing. Yeah. We could not make eye contact
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the entire time, so it was so much fun.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It was a good time. But yeah, because I didn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: do any research, so there was nothing that sparked an
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: idea or a question about the fandom. I just got
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: some David Lynch quotes written down here to spread the wisdom.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The dude was big on transcendental meditation, so he was
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: wise as hell. Yes, but also, I don't have the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: brain to get very good at meditation. I can do
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: meditation in small doses, I can do it when I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: need to do it, but never as a past time.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But never as a pastime. Well, actually I suppose at
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: various points in my life I have. But the world
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: is too chaotic, and I know that's the point of meditation.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But sometimes it can be too much.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It can it can be it can be too much. Okay,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: So a big one that David Lynch said is negativity
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: is the enemy of creativity, which is a big ethos
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of like him as an artist doesn't He doesn't feel
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: like you have to suffer for your art, and that
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: often the suffering is performative because if it's a if
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it's a real depression, you're not able to even do
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the art, like because he's been depressed, and it's like
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: when he's been in bouts of depression, you can't get
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: out of bed to do the art. But when you
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: are doing the art, that should be the joy.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: That's the creativity I am allowed to express in this space.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I have the privilege to express in this space. This
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: is where the joy is good on him. That's a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: good mindset, especially if you're a successful director. Yeah, that
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: idea of Oh I am privileged to be a successful director.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be joyous about this.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The he talked all the time about making work,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: do the work, get the work done. I think he
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: just enjoyed make in art, like twelve hours a day
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: There's sometimes I'll hear the thing of like do what
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You'll never labor. Yeah, but you'll be working.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you'll be working constantly, yeah, NonStop mm hm, apart
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: from to eat fries and burgers and milkshakes. And he smoked,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: it's if we all knew we could make it to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: seventy eight living that lifestyle, I think we all would.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: But it's the not all bodies are made equally.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Something else David Lynch said is we think we understand
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the rules when we become adults, but what we really
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: experience is a narrowing of the imagination.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That speak to you, Yeah, that really genuinely speaks to me,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: because I think we grow up and we do like
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the pattern recognition thing, and then we just go right
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: into those ruts of what this pattern the easiest path is,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: but that's rarely the most fun.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: And we live in a I had to say it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: but we live in a society be living. It pushes
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: us into those ruts and doesn't necessarily encourage a lot
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of the concepts that are imagination expanding.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. And there is a lot there's a lot
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of human kindness I think in the idea of creativity
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and imagination. Yeah, there's a lot of that that can
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: be found there. Oh yeah, if you're tapped, I think
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: if you're tapped into it. I can't prove that, like
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: imagination and empathy are linked, but I really feel like
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: they are. But I challenge anyone to disprove it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, I got one more quote.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: This is about this is about success. Oh, but it's
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: also about the work, Okay.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Success can screw you because you start worrying about falling
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: and you can't ever stay in the same place. That's
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: just the way it is. You should be thankful for
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: success because people really loved something you did, but it's
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: all about the work.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I love that. As a more eloquent person than me said,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: you get that fear of falling, and I bet that
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I've never been massively successful creatively, but I feel like
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: that's going to impact your creativity. If you're just scared
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: about it going wrong, you just have to do it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm getting better at that and increasingly learning that
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and accepting that. I wish I could be at twelve
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: hours a day creative creative.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: My brain's fried after like four creative hours.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm about a standard work day of creative hours,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: but twelve hours like what a Victorian school child's work day.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: That's what David Lynch was doing.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Just refining coal.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get to where you want to be in
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: creativity with the work ethic of a Victorian school child
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: shoveling coal into a furnace if you're lucky.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: A newsy.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And David Lynch smoked forty cigarett today and still had
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: better lungs than that Victorian child.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: An incredible man.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: It was David Lynch. What a guy?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: What a guy? Do you have anything equally as meaningful
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: about rom coms?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Well, not the death of an artist level of meaningful,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I assumed not, But I do have a little segment prepared.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: And I didn't really know how this was going to go,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: but it was the thing I was thinking of when
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: writing the rom com episode, the question that I just
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: couldn't get out of my mind, and then wanted to
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: know more about Saw. I researched more about and it
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: was just why were rom coms so popular from the
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: late eighties to the late two thousands, Like, yeah, why
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: was the Golden Age? The Golden Age?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: There were so many during that period of time, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I I'm sure they still make them and like trickle
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: them out because they still make most types of movies
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and trickle them out, But there was an era where
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you could not move for rom.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Com You couldn't swim through them.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Uh uh more than you could swing a cat out.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, more rom coms than you could swing at a cat.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Be nicer to that cat. Yeah, all right, So I
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: guess let's use a little bit of cultural analysis to
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: find out why.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, lay it on me.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: So why was the gold nature of rom coms the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: golden age at that particular time? There were a lot
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: of rom coms in like the forties, like Screwball comedies
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and things like that, His Girl Friday, His Girl Friday. Wow,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: she's a fast talking whipper snapper and he's a lovable
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: rogue and.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: They both smoked cigarettes.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Well they ever get along, fantastic movies and obviously like
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the birth of romantic comedies on film. But then there
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: was like a big the same as we're in now.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: There was just a big dearth of them until like
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: mid to late eighties. And there are obviously multiple reasons
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: for this, But first let's start with how the movie
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: industry has changed. I believe Matt Damon said it pressy
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: succintly while choking on spicy chicken on hot ones when
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: he said the following sentence.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Good good, what a lead in the DVD was.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: A big part of our business, our revenue stream, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: technology has just made that obsolete. And so the movies
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: that we used to make, you could afford to not
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: make all of your money when it played in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: theater because you knew it had the DVD coming. And
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: he said that while choking on to Bomb.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Truer words have never been spoken while choking on da Bomb.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It's a good point if you need to make all
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: of your money at the box office. I didn't go
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: see movie. I didn't go see rom Coms in the theaters,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: but I watched Miscongeniality right back to back to back.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: We probably had to replace the DVD. You've brought two
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: three copies, Yeah, because we just churned. We just were
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: constantly watching them. And I do think Christmas Movies and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: rom Coms is the most DVDs we had.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely, and obviously vhs before that Chess goes
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: it goes back to the late eighties, like absolutely, home
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: media was a whole of the wave of revenue to
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: justify making a lot of genre based movies. So yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: pretty much That's why we're in a position now where
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: anything that isn't a grounded franchise or ip features a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: famous director, or has any other bankable quality, just purely
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: in theaters is kind of unlikely to get made. Like,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: we make fun of a lot of the straight to
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: streaming movies and most of them turn out to be bad.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: But those are the kind of movies that would get
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: theatrical and then get profits on DVDs and would become classics.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that we love.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Because home media just we've only got twenty DVDs. Let's
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: watch them on repeat.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: What else are you gonna do?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Okay? Well, the second reason, and I think this is
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the most important reason, is the influence of both second
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: and third wave feminism on our culture at the time.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Ooh, you are speaking my language, like, absolutely, lay this
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: on me, all.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Right, I will do. Films are stories, yeah, and stories
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: are about characters, supposedly allegedly and in a typical heteronormative romcom,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: especially in what we're talking about as the Golden Age. Yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: a woman often needs to be the main character or
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: co main character of that story.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: However, between about the nineteen fifties and nineteen eighties, audiences
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: weren't really interested in stories about women. What do you know,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: who would have thought that between those decades the majority
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: of people honestly still aren't. Yeah really, but that's due
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to still living under a patriarchy and a lot the
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: subliminal effects of mass consumerism. Just the male interest, the
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: male gaze is often championed.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's just the default, the default mode. And so if
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you think there's like a subconscious thing of like, oh,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: people won't like that movie, but what you're saying is
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: men won't like that movie.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially from the fifties to the eighties, but we
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: don't have time for this now, don't have time. So
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: from the late eighties and definitely throughout the nineties, feminism
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: evolved and introduced the radical idea that women are also
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: individuals with thoughts, dreams, desires, that sort of thing. If
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: that sounds ridiculous. First wave feminism was all about women
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: gaining equal rights as citizens. That's what the fights were
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: for the same rights as citizens, but in pretty much
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: every other way they were still viewed as lesser than.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Second wave feminism was all about equal legal rights. That
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: was getting rights in the workplace, sort of like rov WED,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: which obviously now we've baxlid on, but yeah, bodily autonomy,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: it's legal rights within the world. And then third wave
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: feminism was about equal rights within society, which in most
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Western countries happens to be individualism. So it's equal rights
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: under individualism, which.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Feels kind of necessary for one woman to be the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: lead of a film, Yes, as like a romantic interest,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: because I feel like there's a lot of films where
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: like the guy gets the girl, but so rarely does
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: she have, I don't know, a personality. Yeah, and so
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: having she not only does she have to have a personality,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: she just needs to be a full person exactly, a
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: full human being, treated as a full human being.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: And that's what was so revolutionary about them and how
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: they connected to society at a time. Because we're in
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the nineties and there's a call for women to have
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: their goals and desires fulfilled to the same degree as men.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That's third wave feminism. Hollywood listens to this and follows
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the money. The rom com becomes the perfect medium for
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: echoing this call. In these films, the woman drives the narrative.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: She expresses what she wants out of life. She has
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: a job, and friends and lives in a beautiful apartment
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: and ah, she's even falling in love. My god, she
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: can have everything.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: We may be seeing a problem.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Well that there's the two arguments of this, right, because
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I think that your reaction to that is the contribution
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: to perhaps romcoms decline because gen X and millennial women
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: buy into this myth and then kind of realize, oh shit,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: we're now trapped with the white men on the same
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: floor of capitalism. So it was a good thing in
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: terms of gaining more equity under the current system, but
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: ultimately it kind of didn't fix all of the problems
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: that it promised it would.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the kind of thing that I see and the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: reason I recoil is because none of the previous expectations leave.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, when those doors open, exactly, and so you're.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Still expected subconsciously to do everything else, but now you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: have to do everything a man's doing, yep, and everything
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: you were doing.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Which Barbie tapped into really well as a recent pop
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: culture example, very much so, and just like rom coms
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: mainly for white women. So because of this, let's focus
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: on the positive side. Let's focus on the part of
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: rom coms that gave more equity to women in society
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: because it was mirroring their own desires and aspirations. It's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: often why rom coms are cited by audiences as aspirational,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: inspirational and pick me up movies. That kind of like,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: if you're having a bad week, watch a bunch of
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: rom coms and feel better.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: You can always watch a rom com.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: So that might seem like cheesy now, and the a
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: lot of the plots might seem cheesy now, but at
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the time they were moving the culture forward, teaching women,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: some genuinely for the first time, that they have equal
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: say in the direction of a relationship.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Would even now we need reminded, oh, absolutely so much
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: so that your opinion matters. Your opinion matters in your relationships,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: what you want matters outside of your relationships.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's also why most of the interesting rom
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: coms in the last fifteen years have either been queer
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: stories or stories from minority ethnic groups, because they mirror
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that sense of cathartic freedom we felt during the Golden Age,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: where we're seeing people who are allowed to show and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: express love, aims, goals, and desires for the first time
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: in media. But because of those things, Matt Damon said,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: while stuffing his mouth with chicken, and also rising prejudice
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: in the world. That's why we don't have as many
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: It makes sense.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: There is this general thing in capitalism where it's follow
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the money. Yeah, and due to circumstances hmm.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: All of the white people have all of the money,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: and so unless they suddenly find love again and understand
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: concepts like love, they're not going to be interested in
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: funneling money into rom coms. I say that as a
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: white person in love. Same look there. There are so
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: many more reasons why this was the Golden Age. Culture
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: is infinite, it's multi textual, it's a living, breathing concept.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But a final third reason that I will say that
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: we don't live in the rom com Golden Age anymore
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: is because we don't have Nora Efron. Yes, like her
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: voice mirrored the truth of love, connection, togetherness, and the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: complexities of interconnected emotion that we find within ourselves. She
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: put a voice to that. I imagine if we had another
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Nora Efron who could kickstart a voice that matches a
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: new generation's experience of love, then we'd probably get a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: wave of people inspired by that new muse. Whoever that
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: would be. But currently I don't think that voice is
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: in the culture, and Nora Efron isn't here anymore, or
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: and neither is David Lynch. And there are probably hard
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: times ahead, but love will blossom in the autumn of
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: it all. I believe that that's so beautiful.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: To end with.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I felt like I had to end on a loving
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: note because this was a rom com section. Yes, but
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: so the reason that got a bit deep and heavy
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: is because when I was like looking at the matching
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the timeline of rom com releases to both second and
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: third wave feminism, I realized how many of the goals
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: and like the achievements of both of those movements have
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: now been completely rolled back.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Honestly, we should have known the political climate based on
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: how well received rom coms. Yes, we should have known
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: that we were in for some shit when rom coms
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: went out of fashion.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's and that's a good conclusion to end on.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I think, Yep, that was beautiful and so deep and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: so wonderful and beautiful and oh my god, we need
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to play a game.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was was It was heavy.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: It was a long We need to play a very
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: fun game with our good friend Aaron Randolph one nil, oh,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: shaking my fist at you and I But okay, I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: know you want this to be the lead in.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: But my favorite thing this recording has been you making
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: the noise and then saying the word so you gone,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: oh gasp. But that has only been topped by er
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: shaking my fist in anger. Now that's the.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Leading watch out for my villain era.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Don't mess with the games master, Captain power up. I'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: going to score all the points.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Passing knowledge was enough.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to your doom.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I just hope we have a lot of fun.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And ignore this sentence. If you're a goddamn loser.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You're going down. I want to fight, and now it
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: is time for our second ever Matt versus Odra.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well of the calls, I don't I.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Don't remember, you know. I think it's just important that
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we have a good time.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, that that is important, But also one nail.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So we cannot do this game alone. We are joined
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: by Aaron Randolph of bfytw and he has made a
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: game for us.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Aaron, absolutely have do you guys just want to
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: get straight into it?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do this.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Let's do it.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Oh some music.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Matt is a games master and podcaster with one game
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: under his belt. Audre works in stem and she's looking
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: to make a comeback. Matt is the Champion, Audra is
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: the Challenger, and your host pantsil seran yay.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I loved that the music is incredible. It's just the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: whole time I did feel like words were coming up
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: under It was like zig zags and stuff on the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: screen to be like, she's not going down without a fight.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: It is so good.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: All right. So we are playing The Challengers, a game
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: from nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one hosted by Dick Clark
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: and Dick Clark Productions. We're doing our own legally distinct
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: take off on an of course, it was slightly adapted
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: rules for a two player game because this is technically
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: a three player game. So you'll notice there's three podiums
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: up there. We have aw Drop, Matt, and ALI, which
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: is short for Artificial lack of Intelligence.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Could have just called that AI, you know.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Well, with the current stated sure, but I just wanted
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: to really get it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Across for futurelessness.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: So basically Ali is gonna act as a placeholder, but
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: it's going to be the two of you versus each other.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: But I wanted Ali still to take part in the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: game for a very good reason. We're gonna play two
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: rounds of cat. There's gonna be six categories on the board.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: You're going to take turns choosing categories, and behind each
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: category are three questions. The lowest value question is worth
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: one hundred points, and it goes up to one fifty
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: and then two hundred points. Now, the lower value questions
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: are easier, higher value questions are harder. So bear that
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: in mind. And every time you're gonna pick a question
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: that is technically a wager, you are wagering that you
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: are going to get it right. If you are the
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: only person to take that category, you will answer it alone.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: You must answer, and if you get it right, you
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: add that to your score. If you get it wrong,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you lose it. Obvious. If the two of you pick
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the same category, then I will ask the same question
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: to both of you at the same time. And that's
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: where the buzzers come into play. I'll need you to
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: buzz in and take a shot at it. If you're
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: not the person who buzzes in, you don't lose anything
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: unless you Unless the person who buzzed in gets it wrong,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: then the person who did not buzz in has the
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: choice of whether they want to proceed and try the question,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: or they can just let it go. No harm, no foul, okay,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: but of course if you buzz you must answer just
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: like any other wager. And finally, Ali is also Ali
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be choosing categories at the same time,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: so something special might happen if all three of you
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: pick the same category. Ali has already been programmed to
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: pick twelve categories from the start of the game, so
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I know what order they're going to pick in, but
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: it's going to be completely random, so you don't know
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: whether the three of you will pick the same category
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: or not. If it happens, I'll explain what happens when
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: we get there. For now, let's talk about round one categories,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: and they are speech quotes Batman, the twenty twenty five
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Golden Globes, metal rockers not playing with their bands, Sonic
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: the Hedgehog and WrestleMania, and Audra. As you well lost
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: the last game. I didn't want to immediately bring it up,
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: but here we go. Bring it up, Aaron, Brenda. You
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: get the first categories, where do you want to start.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is a tough one because my thought is
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I would take something that I think Matt will definitely know,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: which is Rustlemania, so that he can't have it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: Well, you're you're both going to be picking a question
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: from each category.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's fair.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Well that's like me.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: We are eventually going to do all six.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: So yes, okay, okay, Batman.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Batman it is, and we're talking about Batman in movies, television,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: and comic books. When you're ready, text me or wager
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: now and I'll lock you in. It's fine, what a
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: great response.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: It's definitely going to be the choosing the wage to
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the ultirable struggle with mold than the questions themselves.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I think yes, because that's always the crux of it is.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: It depends on the movie, it depends on the television,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: it depends on the comic books.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so here are the wagers. U Ali automatically
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: gets whatever they choose wrong. They chose one hundred dollars
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: question in the movie.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: So sorry, sorry, Alie, Sorry Alie, sorry about it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: But the two of you are gonna need to buzz in.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: You're both gonna get this question about Batman in television
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: the first one. Buzz In gets a crack at it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Adam West played Batman on television from nineteen sixty six
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: to nineteen sixty eight. What actor played Robin alongside him?
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Matt buzzes in.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but I'm gonna say
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: he was another Dick, just like Dick Grayson. So I'm
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: gonna say Dick Charleston.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Dick Charleston is incorrect. So tracked one hundred and fifty
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: from your total US down to fifty. I started everyone
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: off with two hundred points.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Just oh, how generous.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're welcome, Audre. You may still attempt this question
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: if you like, but you don't have to. You can
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: just let it go. If you don't know the answer.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I am gonna. I am gonna let it go. But
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: it's not that's that's fair part this time.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: If it's not working, it's not working. All right, Let's
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: clear the wall and let's go back to the categories. Okay,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Matt got it wrong, So Oudra, I'm gonna give you
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: the choice again, which one of these five categories would
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: you like? Next?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Let's go WrestleMania.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: WrestleMania is and we have WrestleMania one for one hundred points,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: WrestleMania thirty for one hundred and fifty points, WrestleMania twelve
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: for two hundred points. All right, so here's here's our wagers.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Matt and Order both went for the WrestleMania thirty question. Yes, okay,
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna reset the buzzers. The Undertaker had an incredible
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: winning streak at WrestleMania, having won twenty one victories without
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: ever being beaten at the event until WrestleMania thirty, when
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: he was finally defeated by what wrestler Matt's in first,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: brock Lesna rock Lesner is right, Yes, Matt goes back
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: to two hundred.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Clear, everybody going for Wressemania seven. I can't even remember
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: which one WrestleMania seven.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Twelve, twelve, yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Twelve, Yeah, I can't even remember which one WrestleMania at twelve.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Ays all right, Well, so sadly we won't get to
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: that question. So well, remember, we're gonna go back to
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: the categories. Met You have the choice of these four
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: remaining speech quotes twenty twenty five Golden Globes, metal rockers
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: not playing with their bands, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Let's go with the twenty twenty five Golden Globes.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Golden Globes it is, and we have best Craft Services,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Best Performance by a Male Actor in a TV series Drama,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a movie drama.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Place your wagers now.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting? What's craft services again?
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Crafty the food table or feeding people on set?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Did they do an award for that?
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: So everybody gets their own question except Ali, of course,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: who gets nothing into the negative to minus two fifty
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: At this point, Oder, we're gonna start with you because
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: you took the lower wager for one hundred points Best
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Craft Services. Colin Farrell memorably and correctly thanked Carolina from
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Craft Services for keeping him and the crow go going
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: during production for a hundred points. What show was he
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: accepting an award for his performance in?
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you one thing that man
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: did besides thank the right people.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Take a shot.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Ah, Friends, I'm afraid it was not Friends.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Audra, you lose one hundred points. It was the Penguin.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Penguins, Yeah I do. Matt, you took the
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty point wager for best performance by
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: a male actor on a TV.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was hoping it would be about Colin Farrell, thays.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Well, best of luck. Hiro Yuki Sonata made history by
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: becoming the second Asian actor to win this Golden Globe
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: for what FX series.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I believe that was Shogun.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: You believe right? That is absolutely correct. Matt goes up
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: to three fifty, Otter is at one hundred, and Alley's
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: at minus.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Two to fifty, so I'm not in last place. It
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: is to win.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to the category as Matt, you again
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: have control. Picked from one of these remaining three.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go speech quote, speech.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Quotes an aerius and the possibilities are for one hundred
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: points from movies for two for one hundred and fifty
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: points from Hitler, for two hundred points from Hitler in
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: movies place Rangers.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Now, my goodness, okay.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: All three of you once again choosing your own categories.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Of course, Allie doesn't is not allowed to get any right,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: so Ali goes down to minus four hundred. We will
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: start once again with Audra. Listen carefully please, okay, But.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: As the day when the world declared in one voice,
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: we will not go quietly into the night. We will
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: We're going to survive.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Bill Pullman memorably portrayed President of the United States Thomas J.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Whitmore in this nineteen ninety six film for one hundred points.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Name the film.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I have two films in my head that I cannot
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: remember which one it is. Of the two, get to
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: say Independence Day is right?
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: And yes, young on, I made a booboo.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I mean you could leave it.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I could. I'm not gonna, but I could. We had
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: one hundred points to your score, bringing you up to
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: two hundred. Matt, you took the two hundred point wager.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Please listen to this clip. I'm fun o this hell this,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: This heavily memed clip is from the two thousand and
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: four historical war drama film Der Untergun for two hundred points.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: What is the movie's common name in English?
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Okay? I do think I know this because of the memes?
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Uh from way way back? When is it downfall?
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: It is downfall that gets you two hundred points and
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: brings you up to five fifty. Well done.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: That's good ship, Matt.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: There's only two categories left. In this round, which one
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: do you want to tackle first?
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, I like metal Rocke is not playing with the bands.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: As you should. Uh, and that is going to give
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: us for one hundred points. Slayers Carrie King, Megadeth's Dave
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Mustage for one hundred and fifty, Metallica's Lars Ulrich for
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: two hundred. Place your wagers.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Now, there's an argument to be made that I should
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: just go for it, you know, I should just go big.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't though. No.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Once again, everybody's getting their own question, except of course,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: for Allie, who gets nothing. Sorry Allie. Elli goes down
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: to five point fifty.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Wow, Allie, come on, get good at this game.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Odra, on the other hand, for one hundred points. On
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: this question about metal rockers not playing with their bands,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Rick Rubin called Carrie King to lay down the metal
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: solo for the hip hop rack rock song No Sleep
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Till Brooklyn, which would go on to be a hit
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: single for what group.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: I'm humiliating myself at every time?
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Oh no, some improv knowledge could help you with this one.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll go the Beastie Boys because of Beastie rap.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: And that's right.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt. Your pity has saved me.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: They spend the same, right, I'll spend the same, all right.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: That just leaves Matt and his two hundred point wager
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: on Metallica's Lars Ulrich. Matt after Metallica. Lars Ulrich is
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: probably most famous for going after Napster, but he did
• 48:20

  Speaker 3: As it happens, he is. And you're right.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: For another I should have gone Bates.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Go alright, So there is just the one category left,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: and that's Sonic the Hedgehog. The questions here are about
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: foes for one hundred, rivals for one fifty, and friends
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: for two hundred. Place your wagers now, all right. So
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Matt and Ali would be fighting over the rivals question,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: except Ali Ali isn't real and doesn't get a shot
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: at it. So Matt instead, this is your question on
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: rivals for one hundred and fifty points Matt Keanu Reeves
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: was tapped to play a blackfurd anthropomorphic hedgehog in the
• 49:24

  Speaker 3: It is Shadow the Hedgehog, bringing you to nine hundred, Audre,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: you went for the two hundred point question of y friends.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Audra Tails is a fox with two tales who first
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog two, serving as both the
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: second playable character and capable pilot to assist Sonic. What
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: is his actual first and last name?
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Is he the one that's Miles Prour?
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: He is the one who's that's two hundred points, Oudra.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: And at the end of round one, Ali is in
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: last place with minus five hundred and fifty. Audra's hanging
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: in there with five hundred and Matt has currently in
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: lead with nine hundred points. But round two is coming up.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: We're gonna double the values as so anything could happen
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: and let's begin right. So here are the set of
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: new categories for round two, and they are Christmas movies,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Super Mario Brothers not playing in their games, Taylor Swift, Marijuana,
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: Scott Bakula, and twenty first century literature. Okay, and Audrey,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: you got the hardest question right there, So you're gonna
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: get the first choice of these categories. Where do you
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: want to begin?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Christmas movies.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Let's start with Christmas movies, and that's gonna bring us
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: for two hundred points, Jingle all the way for three
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: hundred points, the Santa Claus, and for four hundred, Elf,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: place your wagers now, remember they get harder, the.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: High the value as his tradition.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: As is tradition, everybody picked their own category. But of
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: course Allie isn't allowed to win, So there we go.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Ellie's sitting in a cool minus seven hundred and fifty
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: for the weak.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: We're both so much better than Ally, Matt.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Here is your question for three hundred points on the
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Santa Claus. When Scott Calvin accidentally startles Santa Claus, causing
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: him to fall off the roof, his body vanishes, leaving
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: behind the suit and a card that says to put
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: on the suit? Who or what does the card then say?
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Will know what to do?
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Oh? The only thing I've got in my head is
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: the is Banard's the head to Elf, so I'm gonna
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: say Banard.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Bernard is incorrect. I'm afraid it's going to bring you
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: down to six hundred. It was actually the reindeer. The reindeer, Yeah,
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: what to do? Of course it's the right, all right?
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: What is your chance to take the lead? For four
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: hundred points on elf? Andre Will Ferrell plays Buddy the Elf,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: who mentions that elves try to stick to what he
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: calls the four main food groups, which are candy, candy canes,
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: candy corns, and for four hundred points, what is the
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: final food group?
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: He mentions syrup.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Is right for four hundred points.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I'd ser trivia about Christmas movies in January feels so
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: way it.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just starting to hit my stride.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: So well, Andre, you've taken the lead, and you answered
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: the hardest question. So you take control. Which of these
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: five remaining categories do you want to try?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Let go twenty first century literature?
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Twenty first century literature it is, and your choices are
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Suzanne Collins for two hundred, Juno Das for three hundred,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: and Pierce Brown for four hundred. Place your wagers. Now, wow, okay,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: hopefully those mean something to you, but remember they do
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: escalate in difficulty.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: So HM going a little safe on this one. But
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: I do know the most about the one that I picked,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: like pretty notably.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought we were gonna get three of a
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: kind there, but no close but no cigar, Ali does.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Allie does not get a question, so Allie automatically loses. However,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: instead we are going to turn to the two of
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: you who both picked Suzanne Collins. So I will need
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: you to get ready to buzz ouder up. Matt's here
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: is your question on twenty first century literature and Suzanne Collins.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Susanne Collins wrote a popular dystopian trilogy set in the
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: fictional North American country of pan m For two hundred points,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: what is the name of this series? Otder was in first.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: The Hunger Games.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: The Hunger Games is right for two hundred points, Matt,
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: no harm, no foul audre, just stole that one from me.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Faster on the buzzer.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: All right, So let's go back to the wall, and
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: the remaining category is odder. You are still in control.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: You can have super Mario brothers not playing in their games.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, Marijuana or Scott Bakula.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: You know, let's go Taylor Swift we'll see what I've
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: absorbed via osmosis.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift it is, And here are your questions on
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: music for two hundred, relationships for three hundred, and acting
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: for four hundred.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Oh oh it's risk Oh it's risky.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: It's a risky one?
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my, it kind of spoils it if I say ooh,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: it's risky. Okay, unless I'm double bluffing.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Oh you went, I wasn't.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: And once again, all three of you have chosen a
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: different value, so Ali will lose theirs off they go
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: Matt for three hundred dollars. If three hundred points, excuse
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: me on Taylor Swift. We don't have that much money, Matt.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Taylor's had her fair share of high profile relationships, but
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: she's currently seeing Travis Kelcey a tight end for what
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: professional football team.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: That would be? The Kansas City Chiefs it would be?
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: And that's three hundred points to you. You're at nine hundred. Oudra,
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: who is at eleven hundred and has wagered four hundred
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: on Taylor Swift's acting, Here is your question for four
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: hundred points, Oudra. One of her most notable performances comes
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: from a twenty fourteen dystopian drama film where memories of
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: the past are held by a single person, and they
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: and the protege they plan to pass those memories onto
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: are also the only ones who can see in color.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: For four hundred points named the film the Giver is
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: right for four hundred points.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I forgot she was in that movie,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: but I have read that book so many times.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: Well done, well done. All right, So let's go back
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: to the categories, and Audrey, your remaining choices are super
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Mario brothers not playing in their games, marijuana, and Scott Bacula.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go marijuana.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Marijuana it is. And the questions are marijuana in movies,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: in video games, or in your body? Place your wages? Now,
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: what are you feeling?
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: I gotta try and catch up here?
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: All right, let's reveal how you wagered. It's all three
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: of you picked in your body. So we double the
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: value of each question, and the person who successfully answers
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: this question will have a chance to tackle the other
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: two if they wish, and in any order they like. Wow,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: the first thing I'm gonna do is we're gonna take
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: Ali out of the equation. Is just the two of you,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: So both of you, if you could be ready to buzz.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Here is your question on marijuana now for eight hundred
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: points THHC. The psychoactive component of marijuana is detectable for
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: up to a day in your saliva, up to a
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: month in your urine, but up to ninety days in
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: what ouder was just in first? Audi?
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Fifty three milliseconds? Is what it? Or microsecond? Now I'm
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: gonna say hair.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Hair is right, and Audra has taken a commanding lead.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: All right, Audre, here's the good news. You can tackle
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: these other two if you wish. You don't have to.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: But every time you tackle one, you are wagering again,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: so you will lose it if you get it wrong.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Would you like to try in movies or in video games?
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: For four hundred or six hundred points respectively.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I'll try. I want to because I want to know
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: what the questions are. Let's go in video games.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: In video games for six hundred, Audra. In the third
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: number game in this long running series, one mission has you,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: as Jason Brody, torch several marijuana fields with a flamethrower,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: all while make It Bundem, a reggae step song plays
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: for six hundred points. Can you name the series.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be Borderlands.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: Is incorrect, I'm afraid cool, So we take the six
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: hundred away. You've still made a positive, I have you.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: You've got two hundred points to the positive. Matt, any
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: chance you could tell me? No points available? But can
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: you tell me what it was? Was it theft Ato? No? Actually,
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: oh it was it was Far Cry? Oh yeah, Far
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: Cry three. And we're not gonna get to the movies' questions,
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: so we're just gonna clear the wall. Despite missing that question,
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: you are still in control. So would you like super
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: Mario brothers not playing in their games? Or Scott Bakula.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Let's in honor of press play, we'll go super Mario Brothers.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, super Mario Brothers not playing in their games?
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Hope, this is about Luigi.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Questions are about the nineteen ninety three movie, the TV show,
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: and the serial. So place your wagers now. Okay. So
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Ali and Audre went for the TV show for three hundred.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: Ali doesn't get that, so out you go. Ali and
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Matt went for the four hundred point question on the serial.
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: So Audre, this question is for you alone. On the
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: TV show The Super Mario Brothers Super Show featured both
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: live action and animated segments. What late wrestler played the
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: part of Mario during live action and voiced him in
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: the cartoons.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, I have no idea, but it'd be really fun
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: if it was mc foley.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: It would It would be really fun if it was mcfoley.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Sadly it is not mcfoley, so I have to take
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: theodred points away from you. That's reasonable, is Captain lu Albano?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just imagining Mario getting tossed off the hell.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: In s l. I'm glad you didn't stop that sentence earlier. Matt.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: Here is your four hundred point question on the Cereal.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Ralston Cereals produced a cereal box with two bags inside,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: one for Super Mario Brothers featuring fruity flavored mushrooms, koopas
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: and bowsers, and one for Zelda featuring very flavored hearts, keys,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: and shields. What was the three word name for this product?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, this is not of my culture. I chose this
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: because I wanted to get points, but I realized now
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to lose those points, so we're gonna say
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: they are Nintendo Lucky Choms.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, believe it or not, you were on the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: right track. It was the Nintendo Cereal System.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good, that's Cleva.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Matt, that you lose four hundred. You are down
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: to five hundred. Let's get to our last category, shall we.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: It was the one everybody's before. It's Scott Bagula and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: here are the questions on for two hundred points, Quantum
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: Leap for three hundred points, Star Trek Enterprise, and for
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: four hundred points ncis New Orleans. Send me your wagers,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: so once again Ali can't take part, so Ali will
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: stay off of your question, Audra on Star Trek Enterprise,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: and here it is for three hundred points. This show
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: follows the adventures of the crew of the first starship
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: Enterprise designation NX zero one. Scott plays the captain of
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: the ship. For three hundred points. Can you tell me
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: his last name?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: No, sir, I cannot because it's not Kirk or Picard.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: So it's probably it's probably Smith.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: It's Smith.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: It's it's not Smith. I'm sorry you lose three hundred
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: points there, but you're very much still in it, Matt,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: to catch up. To make up some space. Here you
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: desperately need this before we go to the final round.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: Here's your question for four hundred points on NCIS New Orleans.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Matt yep Bacula's NCIS Supervisory special Agent Dwayne Pride is
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: often referred to by his nickname one he was given
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: after making the drug bust of the Century. For four
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: hundred points. What is that nickname, big Panky? I love it,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: It's sadly wrong, So I have to take four hundred
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: points off of you. And at the end of round two, well,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: things have gone pretty well for Auder, but not so
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: much for Matt.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Oh how the tables have turned.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: Alli Ali is sitting less than pretty at negative thirteen
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: fifty and will not be taking place in the final challenge.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: Matt is in the positive, so he will be taking part.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: And finally, Oudra has eleven hundred points and a very
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: clear lead. Let's move on to the final challenge, very
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: very quickly. The final challenge, I'm going to give you
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: one more category. It will again have three possible choices
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: of questions. The questions now have an odds multiplier, so
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: if you tackle the easiest question, it will be for
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: even odds and whatever you wager you will get back
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: if you get it right. The second hardest question is
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: worth a double, so you will get double your wager
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: if you get it right. And the third and final
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: hardest question is worth triple odds and is worth triple
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: your wager if you get it right. So, having said that,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: let's reveal our final round category Gate Leapers twenty twenty
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: four fandoms.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, things we definitely should know, we'll see definitely should know.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: For even money, you can wager on PlayStation two. For
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: double money, you can wager on Back to the Future.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: For triple money, you can wager on Percy Jackson and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: Greek mythology. Now this time, I'd like you to send
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: me your wagers, including how much of your steak you
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: would like to wager. You obviously can't wager more than
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: you have, and tell me whether you'd like to wager
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: that on the even category, the double, or the triple.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you fifteen seconds to think it over.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: Your time starts now, all right.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I made the choices that I made.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Well have you done?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: What have you done? Matt? You had the lowest amount
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: available at the time, not the word not all still
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: proud of you. That's good, you know, I'm just trying
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: to be helpful here.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I tried to borrow points from Ali, but they
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: not even less.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, they don't have any to give. How much
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: did you wage on which question?
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: I waged all one hundred of my dollars to try
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: and triple my money to give myself a chance. Waitka, Thus, Jackson.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: And Odra, can you reveal to us what you wagered
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: and on what please?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I went on the triple spot. I went nine to
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: oh one. Make it interesting, But I don't know if
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: by I think, yeah, that works math wise. I think
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: nine hundred also would have worked mathwise if you would
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: have run the true.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: So here's how this is gonna work. You both picked
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: the same category. I'm not gonna make you buzz in
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. Instead, I'm gonna give you another
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: fifteen seconds after I read the question to send me
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: your answer, and once I've received both of your answers
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: in the fifteen seconds are up, I'll reveal who won
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: and by how much. Here's your question, both of you.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: On Percy Jackson and Greek mythology, the blood kind Cyclops
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: polyphemus plays a significant role in the Percy Jackson novel
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: The Sea of Monsters. But in Greek myth, what is
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: the name of the Greek hero who was responsible for
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: blinding Polyphemus. I have both your answers. We're gonna start
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: with Matt. Matt, you wagered one hundred on the triple category.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: If you're right, you will go up to four hundred.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: If you are wrong, you will go down to zero.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make things even more exciting and tell
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: you that you've both given me different Matt for four
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: hundred points. What did you answer, I said Hercules. Hercules
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: is incorrect. Ah, so I have to take your hundred
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: points away. You end the game on nothing. You've been
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: real fun to have around. Audrey. You wagered nine hundred
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: and one points on the triple category. What did you say?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: I said, Jason, and that is incorrect?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Oh was it?
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Sorry?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: You end the game on one hundred and ninety nine
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: points to Matt zero, which means Audre is our winner.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Congratulations forgetting who killed the cyclops? Does take a little
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: bit of the shine off of my victory.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: It's wonders, Audrey. Yeah, the correct answer was Odysseus. Oheus
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: was the hero who blinded Polyphemus. But congratulations Audrey, you've won,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: and in really exciting fashion.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, very well done.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's all tied up. Absolutely well done. Well, thanks
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: so much for having me.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you so much. This was incredibly fun.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Aaron.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: I look forward to bringing more Hi Jenks and crazy
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: games as the months go on. I'm really looking forward
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: to my next outing, which I promise is going to
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: be even more psychotic. Thank you.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: We would not have it any other way. Thank you
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: so much.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Thanks Aaron.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Ah Ru ah Ru.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Well, my confidence is shattered, as it should be. The
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: day is ruined.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: We are now tied.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: And it's one all. I suppose that's fair at this
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: early stage of the it.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Had to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to happen.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: We're too equally matched.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: We are we are. Thanks for preparing another wonderful game, Aaron. Absolutely,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: that was such a fun time. Thanks Aaron. If you've

• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your classic comedy D and D. But the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: twist is, instead of crunchy combat that's not very entertaining
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: for a live audience, they play improv games, yes, and
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: that has repercussions on the game itself. People lose hit points,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: people die based on how the games.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Go, based on how well you improv against some people
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: from the audience.
• 1:13:50
