Wario, Winnie the Pooh, A Wrinkle in Time

from galaga to gal gadot nerds are passionate about a lot of things but there's something they love above all else that is correcting people this is um actually [Music] [Applause] joining us today we have brennan lee mulligan and my axe and ryan martin and his axe and also jackie cation and their axes oh what what three one one axe one axe we're just sharing it we're sharing it this feels like you all went together on a birthday gift and you know it's like like like a my axe like oh yeah also yeah i'm a part of that axe as well put my name on the current yeah you're all uh repeat guess so you kind of know how this works but we'll go through it real quickly for the viewers at home this is um actually i've got false statements here it's up to you to correct me you just have to correct me with um actually before anything you say you don't say i'm actually i won't give you the point and you can correct me at any point once you hear the thing that's wrong just jump right in there so let's get started hell yeah in jules verne's novel 20 000 leagues under the sea a tour of the underwater world readers meet captain nemo who lives a secret of life 20 000 leads below sea level in his advanced submarine yes brennan um actually 20 000 leagues put it down all right yeah lay it on me uh i don't know how many leagues below sea level captain nemo lived because leagues are a measurement of distance fathoms are a measurement of death um you uh you know what i don't think i'm gonna give it to you you're you're you're you're get in the comments you can you can measure depth uh depth in leagues um you're close to what we're going for but uh that that's the specifics of it are not not right there right they're not correct it's not it's not fathoms versus leaks it's the that's that issue here no okay okay i know i've already buzzed in but yes you have bread but i think i i think i'm right [Applause] well clearly you think you're right yeah but i think it hard so this statement he lives 20 000 leagues below sea level if there's not a comma because leagues are a measurement of distance so the the degree to which he lives under sea level wouldn't be a matter of leagues right now well you could live for in the mile high city even though miles are a measure of distance you can measure distance in in any dimension you want that's that's not in fact at fault here okay yes jackie um actually yes i think that he doesn't live under the sea he's an explorer under the sea uh he is an explorer under the sea but he but he does in fact live there as well he's sort of an outcast from from society yes yes ryan i am wrong it's 20 000 parsecs in 11 seconds uh no no that's not it either uh um uh brennan you were close you're very close to what it is uh but i'll go ahead and tell you the title twenty thousand links in the c refers to the distance traveled while they are under the sea uh so but the issue is not that you can't measure in leagues uh in fact 20 000 leagues is over six times the diameter of earth so they're not 20 000 leagues deep because that is impossible uh they are at most four leagues deep and then traveling 20 000 leagues while under the sea a league of their own uh so you were on the right track that that it is an issue of depth but not not the like the the nomenclature not the nomenclature is that do you think that's fair do you think that was a fair uh i do the brain heads are gonna light your ass up my man uh and just get ready for it because they're coming and uh i'm just i think it was just saying it's a it's a bigger problem that if you tried to get 20 000 leagues deep you would punch through the earth several times over and float out into space you know but here's the thing is that could very easily happen in a jules verne store it's like we started out below c and the only way to break the orbit of the break into orbit is to plunge so deeply into the earth's core that you rock it out the other side please stop please stop please that sounds like some goofy jewels vern science to me i bet he would do that uh well no points to anyone for that one unfortunately uh moving on to our next question here part of jedi or sith training includes the handmaking of one's own lightsaber a key component to lithium crystals are found in the crystal caves on the espresso actually kyber crystals are used in the creation of lightsabers and lithium crystals don't even exist in that setting that's star trek that is totally correct yes uh kyber crystals not delithium crystals which are star trek which is used for that the initials are a distance of measurement of distance right yeah that felt like one where everyone was just itching to get to that button brennan just got to it first uh it it feels like uh in sci-fi universes if someone starts to talk to you about like crystal magic and crystal healing you should maybe listen a little bit more than an art like crystal's like maybe these are magic everywhere we go yeah in real life they're magic too oh yeah you guys have been to arkansas i bring up a lot of teach improv uh which is uh when you're explaining yourself or you're explaining something goofy people can only adults can only ask why once maybe twice before they're like whatever right yeah so it's like if you have like in star trek it's like oh the ships go faster than the speed of light and they're like wow and you're like i don't know there's [ __ ] crystals and they're like great thank you so much for your time appreciate it you're fully explained sounds like he knows what he's talking about perfect yeah it's too lithium yeah no that can't be um cool uh one point for brennan brennan is on the board and this next one is about video games while the title of super mario brothers is generally only applied to mario and luigi in 1992 the long-lost brother wario made his first appearance in the gameboy super mario land 2 6 golden coins it's all one title brennan coming in here again looking concerned perplexed gonna have a guess um actually wario is not mario and luigi's brother that's correct wario is not and luigi's brother you would think with a name like wario with all the same colored you know general kind of like he is supposed to be mario's childhood friend who i guess turned on him at some point i was thinking about it and the question is phrased such a way of like of course wario's brother look at him but there's no family resemblance i mean other than you know hold on it's like a no family resemblance i mean on the scale of listen mario and luigi have the same face just mario's a little heavier and luigi's a little lankier wario's got like baggy eyes and a [ __ ] lightning bolt mustache his nose looks like a weird like budding potato he's he's a d why are you needs help that's it it's all nurture with wario yeah i don't think it was nature yeah something happened someone wrong sometime in his teens he wasn't held enough as a baby yeah it does feel i i love the idea too that wario was like wario used to be mario's friend and then like something happened like you know that happens it like feels like wario mario's the kind of person that mario is like not sure whether to invite to his wedding or not but i think it's a very post-modern take it's like a turn for the series because you know early super mario brothers you know you're fighting bowser or like in the very first mario game ever he's fighting donkey kong right and it's like yeah are the monsters in the world these like turtle dragons or these giant apes throwing barrels and then mario comes along and it's like no your enemy is the dark reflection of yourself what are your demons it's it's just you with one of your letters flipped upside down that's the biggest of all this feels like a breakthrough you guys yeah i don't know about you but uh i think we've really solved some we've healed some wounds i think so yeah who knew that the existential cry of dread [Laughter] the was mario game is just mario conquering his inner demons like a real extended therapy session i guess it all started when i look in the mirror and i cannot say it's a me uh this is about harry potter the common rooms of each hogwarts house is intended to be accessible only to members of that house everyone is at least partially concealed and requires a secret password or knock to enter brennan again swooping in sorry um actually the ravenclaw room requires a riddle that's correct the ravenclaw room does not require a secret password it requires a riddle which is dumb is the dumbest thing is this is a ringer here all right we'll see look we'll see where we trip you up why do you think that's dumb to have a riddle i think it's dumb because a riddle by definition is less secure than just a word no one else knows like any other like it's hubris it's saying like we're the smartest house and only we are smart enough to solve this riddle any other dum-dums from any other house will come here and just just stomp their feet and put a bucket on their head and bang it where they can't figure out this riddle it's like no someone you give them a riddle like someone could figure that out and like anything else is just like do you know the one word i'm thinking of like that's objectively a more secure way to keep your room safe all right swift on security good for you yeah listen you got to do like the gryffindor common room it's like a mix of like uppercase and lowercase they got one digit they got a couple special characters and they're like you're not getting into it also just sucks because it means that no ravenclaw students can like go out to hogsmeade and get [ __ ] blasted and come back drunk on butterbeer and be like [ __ ] i gotta get to my bed oh the riddle changed oh [ __ ] what is it i have three legs it's the sphinx one you're you're a sphinx no i noticed things it's the riddle of the god damn yeah every box every big party weekend there's just a pile of ravenclaws outside the common room it's just like we all couldn't get in it's like a designated driver yeah because i need a designated riddler yeah someone you need to stay cogent enough that you can solve the riddle so we can all get better exactly all right well that's another point for brennan and we move on to our very first shiny question shiny questions just like shiny pokemon or at the same number of points they're just a little bit different and a little bit rarer this game is called a book by its cover [Music] we're going to show you images of book covers with the titles and authors removed be up to you to name them whoever can name the most will get the point let's go ahead flip those overs let's take a look at these books [Music] [ __ ] [Music] cool brennan tell us what these books are okay wrinkle in time oh fahrenheit 451 the hobbit this one in the lower left i'm unsure about i don't recognize the cover but i looking at it that could be tash okay fighting a narnian in the last battle okay uh for narnia but i don't that also could be very run that could be a weird bird man fighting a sword ender's game the miss of avalon okay you got five out of six ryan what are you looking at here uh i certainly got a wrinkle in time uh second one is don quixote and then actually you couldn't remember that one because it was don quixote also a second edition of dog miguel cervantes famous novel don quixote also i knew that one was ender's game but i couldn't remember in my brain so it's actually don quixote and the last one is also you also got five right all the don quixote no you have uh two correct here two correct and jackie what are we looking at okay i got wrinkle in time okay guessed it that next one i went with kathy griffin does that feel too soon uh the hobbit i got uh the next one i just i was like sandman there's a dead guy uh i did not get ender's game because i don't think i've ever seen that the original cover so i literally uh guessed incorrectly and said blade runner okay that's a good guess i can totally see that yeah except for that's a spaceship yeah and then uh miss vevlan yes so uh let's go ahead and let's reveal the correct answers here i think you've got three correct here if i'm counting right yeah three correct here uh but yes wrinkle in time fahrenheit 451 the hobbit the stand ender's game and mists of avalon brennan you got five out of six there's more than anyone else one more point for brennan and you are clean enough this is this is not pretty it is not good thing i'm not competitive [Laughter] some of you noticed a few things that we got wrong in our last episode these are our favorite corrections from you our picky picky viewers at antiochus 1098 says in the anamorphs question on um actually you gave tobias his last name as santorelli i know that isn't right because that's the name i gave him in the fan fiction series i wrote years ago kind of freaking out scene up there like that yes google got the better of us here one point for you and i'm gonna say it's canon now and from our dropout discord jack says i'm actually throgg isn't thor as a frog while he did become a frog thanks to loki the title throg was taken later by a different person turned frog who found a piece of the owner my deepest apologies for confusing two different thor based frogs t lear says um actually the wendigo is not specific to just canada it's folklorism parts of america as well that is correct although what we said isn't incorrect at the same time heaven forbid canada do something without america making it all about itself so one point for tea lear brennan just just cruising his way down the scoreboard not looking apologetic about it at all uh just glaring at the camera so we'll we'll move into our next question here uh it's about superman while most people know that kryptonite is superman's biggest weakness not as many people know that kryptonite comes in many different colors with varying effects classic green kryptonite weak in superman pink makes him permanently lose his superpowers and periwinkle causes him to lose his inhibitions ryan um actually superman's real weakness is chocolate superman and kathy are the same character um actually uh the pink nothing makes him permanently lose his powers oh uh you you've identified the part of the the wrong area here but i think there is a color kryptonite that does if well that is the wrong thing right you know what whatever i'll give it to you that's right you said a true thing right uh nothing permanently makes him lose his powers and pink certainly does not pink certainly does not there does exist a pink kryptonite in the comics one of the strangest things in superman comics pink kryptonite makes superman gay uh is the real the weirdest yeah do you have a problem um actually that's offensive yes incredible i'm actually i know there's a reason we're talking about this here yes um how do they know that when uh superman is around pink kryptonite uh he loses all interest in lois lane he becomes extremely interested in jimmy olsen uh and then also uh in some not great sort of stereotypes he also is very complimentary of jimmy the window treatments that jimmy olsen has uh selected for some things it sounds like a more of a like it was written by sort of a rock hudson character because i don't know if you in all the rock hudson movies there's uh some reference to him being homosexual and he insisted on that because he but it was all caricatures none of it was and you were just like well why would you want to sustain those stereotypes except for i guess embrace whatever is happening in 1957 yeah i don't know so when was this one written i uh i do uh let's see if our fact checker can find out uh if you can find any information about um the pink crimson night issue and when it was written was it 2003. william grace was on the air what god the [ __ ] are you talking about well i know you were gonna say 19. um actually that is enormously offensive um actually will and grace is still on the edge despite some of those like those stereotypes it does sound like a gay man's fantasy which is like this guy's straight he's super hot but maybe if he's around alcohol you get superman around some pink kryptonite what did you know that they say the periwinkle one did oh oh you wanted about periwinkle kryptonite and how that's an odd choice of color as well periwinkle kryptonite causes him to lose his inhibitions same thing believe it or not there hasn't been a big superhero movie this year since birds of prey came out that's kind of a big deal for us here at um actually because we rely on the releases of these things to keep our questions fresh and delicious for you the viewers luckily there is a big new superhero movie coming out right now and that's wonder woman 1984. perfect timing right because i think we could all use just a little bit of escapism right now okay if you're not familiar with this this is an all-new chapter of the wonder woman story wonder woman aka diana prince is now living quietly among mortals in the 80s you remember the 80s this is an era of excess the pursuit of power having it all it's totally different from the last time we saw wonder woman which was during world war one you know mud and trenches and spanish flu now fully powered she maintains a low profile curating artifacts for the smithsonian and performing acts of superheroism incognito or as incognito as you can be when you're dressed as an ancient warrior and you have a giant glowing whip diana will have to step directly into the spotlight and muster all her wisdom her courage her strength in order to battle the cheetah and save mankind from a world of its own making proving that she is the hero for all time for our time and for everyone well so kristen wiig is the cheetah i mean if you like comedy and nerd [ __ ] which you gotta if you're watching this what else do you want the film has a great story peppered with fun and humor and all the intense action sequences that you love from the first movie it's got hope it's got heart a little bit of mystery a couple of fun surprises lots of big action it's everything you want from a wonder woman movie just like in the previous wonder woman films there'll be something for everyone to enjoy but also a lot for the tried and true fans to love in theaters and on hbo max at wonderwomanfilm.com starting on december 25th and it's available on hbo max in the us only at no extra cost to subscribers if you already have hbo maps you can get ready to watch wonder woman 1984 whenever you want [Laughter] all right that is a point for jackie jackie i'm willing to lose now uh our next question is about futurama the planet express employees that we meet in futurama's first season appear to be a ragtag group of aliens and weirdos but despite their differences only dr john zoidberg is from a different planet ryan i'm actually she may not be from there but i think amy wong is from mars that's correct um actually amy is from mars yes yes she is so amy and dr john zoidberg are the two uh two two uh characters from from a planet that is not earth um and yeah zoidberg's first name is john uh also i don't really have much else to add there uh just when i was doing my research like really okay not what i was expecting um next question though it's easy to imagine superheroes living in a world of black and white morality some well-known superheroes were originally villains including the flash rogue and hawkeye jackie um actually i don't think the flash was ever a super villain that's correct the flash was never a villain uh rogue and hawkeye uh both both yes appeared as villains first um i can't elaborate too much more on that because i don't know a whole lot about comics uh but uh but yeah that's that's the point it's gotta be i don't know a lot about flash but he seems so enormously sincere yeah that it seemed unlikely that he had never been in a bad bone in your body yeah yeah there's also a clue there in their names because it's really hard because like rogue and hawkeye are both like oh they could be bad yeah but being like there's this guy who's you know terrorizing central uh central city he's uh the flash like that's kind of cool that's a cool name the flash could be yeah this guy the flash you can kind of it's a real creep you don't want that pink kryptonite exactly this is our second shiny question a game called where am i under the couch you have a stack of maps uh with the names removed it's up to you to identify where we are just by looking at the map all right uh let's take a look at that first map where am i brennan uh i'm actually you are in the land of oz that's correct we are in oz next question uh jackie we're we're in the lord of the rings or a hobbit uh no this is not lord of the rings wait wait wait wait keep keep your maps there uh ryan uh ryan you were next i'm actually we're in the thousand acre woods um the buzzer's broken okay and uh next next map brennan um actually we are in westeros that is correct next map uh brennan um actually this is the [ __ ] thing you talked about at death at your desk at work a couple weeks ago and i was working on dimension 20 something it was cool we had a cool conversation you were like there's a place that instead of having a map it has a sentence about it yeah and and if you listen to your friends when they talk to you and remember what they say you could win that is uh the another thing you said is untrue uh but it's not the answer i'm looking for uh does anyone have have a guess on this one um actually it's uh mark twain being pithy uh no it is very pithy though uh ryan i'm actually this sounds like a response you would get if you asked for a map in the hitchhiker's guide no no but you're you are very no one will get this one i'll say but this is uh this is discworld the very first issue of color of magic terry pratchett did not include a map he just included a little forward that included this sentence uh later editions they've eventually added a map uh but this uh yeah a little tricky one there let's move on where are we brennan um actually this is hyrule this is hyrule from legend of zelda one more map uh this is ryan i'm actually this is a map of disneyland uh that's correct this is just disneyland this is the place that actually exists but it is the most magical place on earth uh the happiest place on earth uh so that was three for brennan two for ryan one for jackie i'd like to make it uh uh actually is that a world instead of disneyland i'm actually this is disneyland but there is this there's a map from this stack that's also in here in critter country you can go to 100 acre wood [Laughter] ryan in front of a giant screen enhanced i should get a point for that as well um uh i will not uh but i just wanted to yeah no i understand completely i get it you can meet rabbit you can meet pooh i love the idea of a high octane version of the thousand acre wood thousand acres more poo more all the poo you can handle well once again brennan has snuck away with a point uh there for where am i um only one stumper in there which was admittedly intended to be a stumper so good job well [ __ ] us right we make mistakes if you notice something that we got wrong you can correct us by tweeting at um actually show we might even give you a point feature your tweet the next episode moving on it's about dungeons and dragons in dungeons and dragons character classes have changed from addition to addition while some have been present since first edition like monks mages and bards others were added in later editions like sort yes brennan um actually the wording of the question is such this is going to be another league's fathom situation um actually mages are no longer present so they haven't been present in every edition that's correct that is what i'm going for yes mages uh only exist actually in the second edition uh and i included this question largely so i can share this fun little fact that in 1994 there was a book called uh advanced dungeons of dragon's uh book encyclopedia magicka volume one and uh at some point in the development process they decided to change mages to wizards and they clearly just did a little find replace and just did just like find mage replace with wizard which worked for the most part but in that book anytime they refer to damage it's listed as dewizard uh because mage got replaced by wizard uh which is uh i think as writers we could all sympathize without having done that before and good to know that professionals do it as well that's so funny does the word image never appear in that book because that would become i wizard which sounds like a very cool apple product yes um finally the apple product we want yeah yeah eye wizard thank you give us an eye wizard it literally it literally is magic oh this wizard is sleek easy to handle very good ui on this wizard yeah yeah wonderful um they say it's intuitive but i don't believe them is there like a good connotative reason for for swapping out like mage and wizard so meat sort of sounds like the difference between like a bartender and a mixologist or it's like you're doing the same thing it's one of you is a little little more highfalutin so instead of being funny i will actually please yeah so actually kept the name mage so that uh so wizard became a class that allowed you to be necromancer conjurer invoker transmuter diviner illusionist uh enchanter or transmuter uh but if you were made a specialist the term mage was used to refer to a non-specialized wizard got it in second edition wow that was awesome and it will get you no additional points all these comments that's my new catchphrase you're your army of army of internet in the comments um here we go in the novel american gods by neil gaiman the god odin has two ravens hugin and moonin or thought and memory when the protagonist shadow finds himself alone with one of these ravens for the first time it charmingly says to him never more as a reference to the edgar allan poe poem the raven jackie um actually it does not say never more he says nevermore and it gets mad uh you're close enough that i'll give it to you you're right uh there is like a little bit more of a specific that i was i was like oh she's gonna get it totally you got it right he does the raven doesn't say never more shadow tries to get the raven to say never more instead the raven says [ __ ] you yeah cause that bird's a real jerk that bird wants no part of edgar allan poe and and being stereotyped as the as the raven from that we're not all the same raven like we have our own like things going on you can't we're not all dracula's deadpool we're not all dracula's we're vampires it's fun to imagine odin as like a bird guy you know like he's got like five animals with him at all times because he has huguen and munin frecky and gary are his two wolves and slept nears his horse and that horse has eight legs so that's almost two horses for the horse it's a lot of horse yeah like it does feel like the kind of like like odin's house stinks for sure like you go over there and it's like very cool yeah i could see you love your animals a lot it's like you gotta you gotta clean this up a little bit yeah not only come in yeah it not only stinks because it's got those five animals it also has the soul of every fallen warrior in it uh constantly fighting and drinking so it's it smells like beer sounds like beer smells like stale beer it's definitely a frat house in there you know like it's just like animals running wild and and drink everywhere mead stuck like a sticky mead floor it's like this sucks i bet he lost it one day he's like oh i forgot an elephant with a broom well that's a point for jackie and this is our final shiny question of the game this is a game called spelling bee now spelling english is hard enough but spelling and fantasy is damn near impossible with apostrophes and hyphens and all kinds of crazy characters i'm going to give you a word from sci-fi or fantasy first person to spell it correctly we'll get the point your word is oli fat [Music] uh i'm actually olefant is spelled o l i p h a u n t brandon that's correct that is how you spell olefant not elephant uh the completely different animal from middle earth the olefont uh that's correct uh oliphant not actually the correct word for those that's a hobbit uh a hobbit word for them i think mama luke is the name in harad well i didn't ask you to spell mama luke brennan m-a-m-a-l-u-k you know what i mean that sounds like a real hot like rupaul drags raised this is my mama luke or he's a large dog yeah the battle of eleanor fields and they're like oh my god those elephants look incredible look oh you idiot you dumb piece of [ __ ] like drag culture at all maybe you could uh honestly hey with that mama look you move a kill you know hey this is our last question of the game points as they stand now seven for brennan one for ryan three for jackie i mean it's a done game at this point but we can at least have the satisfaction of knowing this last question because as always the last question concerns real life skills these are just important things to know uh it doesn't matter if you know how to spell olefant or all the different subclasses of mage uh what's important here is the real world and now we'll ask this question nope nope get at brennan in the comments for health and eco-conscious consumers it's important to buy chicken that was raised without added hormones the only way to be sure that you're buying chicken raised without hormones is to carefully inspect the label for a no added hormones disclaimer brennan um actually you can eat hormones it's fine it's fine you'll find you'll be fine don't worry um uh dad stop uh it's totally fine just the same that's not uh that is not what i'm going for i can't fault you your opinion but if you're the kind of person who are looking to avoid hormones that might not be what you're looking to hear jackie um actually you have to look for a non-gmo sticker no that's incorrect um actually the only way to know if there are hormones is to taste the chicken which is of course too late by that point but at least you'll know but at least you'll get like nope i'm getting i'm getting hints of hormone in there no that is incorrect jackie oh um actually i think that the best way is what you want is a scrawny chicken because hormone chickens are super swoll um uh i like where you're going but that is not what i'm looking for that is not the the brennan yes um actually hormones are naturally occurring in trace amounts in all organisms and therefore you cannot get hormone-free chicken because it will be somewhere present in the creature now that is technically correct but i did specifically i did specify correct did specify no added hormones because that that is uh it is true that you do not the glands of the body add hormones i believe it was shakespeare who once said um listen i'm not going to give you the point but you you you could have even if you had the point what are you going to do you're just going to like win more it's like yes here's what i'm going for here uh um actually it's illegal in the u.s to add hormones to poultry so in fact every chicken that is sold in the u.s has no hormones added if you see a chicken that advertises itself as nor no hormones added it means that they have nothing else to brag about and they're they're just looking for something to try to impress you the consumer so just know no chicken soul in the u.s has hormones added like a like a gluten-free lettuce yes exactly it's like gluten-free it's like yeah well yeah it's true you're gluten-free but the whole lettuce is gluten-free what do you do what are you trying to pull um and that's our game final score here seven for brennan one for ryan three for jackie and that makes brennan our winner for this episode congratulations brennan very fun i know i gotta look up what mama luke is is it something i think jackie's right i think it's a large great dane i think it's a demonic version of marmaduke uh mama luke you've opened a portal to hell again looks like it's the arabic word for slaves [Laughter] thank you everyone join us next time for even more pedantic corrections here on um actually
