two episodes that we've ever done.You just haven't stopped talking.What do you mean?It's been one whole week.It's been two whole weeks.Two whole weeks.
Remember last week was the Halloween special.
Oh man, I can't believe our fun and jovious Halloween special got condemned by Sawboy.
That's right.Sawboy kidnapped you unexpectedly.Sawboy.
Hey everyone, write in I love Sawboy to get your own Sawboy plush.
That's right.We got a big reaction to the Sawboy episode.Man.
Andy, I'm not kidding you.I was walking down the street and I saw I love Sawboy t-shirts.Really?People love Sawboy.
That's crazy.It's only been a week.But yeah, we've decided that finally we're able to lean really heavily into merchandising because of the... Yeah, great response to Sawboy.
And Hugh Jackman being Sawboy, what a twist.Hugh Jackman came, did you see the tweet he made?No, what did he say?He said, I am Sawboy, I love Sawboy.That's so interesting.At Hugh Jackman.
Because in the episode, the focus was kind of on how he was obsessed with me.Yeah.But I guess he's Fallen in love with his own character of Sawboy?
It's kind of like, listen, it's kind of dirty, but there is a Pokemon called Mimikyu who is a ghost Pokemon who is pretending to dress up like Pikachu because he's jealous of how much attention Pikachu is getting.
Yes.Not the first time on this podcast that you've talked about Mimikyu.
Yes.You're not wrong.Let's snuggle forever. In a way, when Mimikyu came out, people just started loving Mimikyu so much too that he became his own famous self.Do you think Hugh Jackman doesn't, he hasn't bothered you since?
He really hasn't.No, I think he's, he's identified a new income stream and he's leaning into it and who can blame him?
Hugh can blame him?Oh, Andy, you devil.We got to be careful today, Alex, because it is election day when this comes out.And I know this is a stressful day for a lot of people.
Yeah, it's it's gonna be tight.
Oh, wait, this is the imposter cast.My name is Andy North.
On this podcast, we play games.And we compete to see who is the winner of each episode.And speaking of competing, and it's gonna be a close one.I hope that you find this a welcome respite for what is a
Probably a very stressful time for a lot of folks.
I was about to say, we'll mention it now and then we'll make you into a land of laughter and merriment so that you can have a quick repose.But Andy, I believe there's something... I have an election themed game!
Oh, let's do it.Because we're not that far off from Halloween.So I had an idea for a game that combines both Halloween and Election Day.
Is it you telling me which movies from the Halloween franchise I need to watch and which ones I can skip over?
Yes, it's less of a game and more of a interaction I have on a regular basis with other nerds.
Because that's we talked about this two weeks ago where like I'm getting into horror movies and I really do Want to kind of watch some of the classics.Mm-hmm.
Halloween is something that I've always been like, oh, yeah It's it's spookiest Michael Myers, but like I know it's like so far like the remakes and stuff like that, too Yeah, I love Jamie Lee Curtis, right?
So she's very pretty I am I'm the wrong person to ask is I don't like slashers.They're not interesting to me.I know a lot of people like the original Halloween the original Friday the 13th.I was of those like classic monster ones.
I think I really only like the Nightmare on Elm Street movies because they've got so much like They're not really the typical slasher movie.
They're more like, there's got a lot of... I watched the second one of that.Well, it was on the television while I packed up my college dorm for the last time.It was a very strange day to play that movie like in the middle of May as well, too.
Yeah, it's a strange movie to watch at that time.You should be like putting on Good Riddance Time With Your Life on repeat as you pack up your college dorm room.
Um, do you want so I bet our audience could come on Instagram and send you messages about which Halloween movies to watch I feel like I still want it knowing that it's It's election day now?
No, because I feel like I probably will actually reach out to, like, Carolyn or someone.Yeah, we have to bleep that.
Friend of the show, Carolyn.Yeah, friend of the show, Carolyn.She's doing, shout out to her.She's doing, I know you're not on the Grams, but every day she's posting 31 horror movies that she likes.
Yeah, Amelia's been keeping me up to date on that because we have a shared love of horror movies.
Yeah, I think it's great too.So far of all the ones she's posted, I've already watched one before she posted up there.Now I've watched two off of a recommendation.She knows all this too.I've been keeping you in the loop.
But Get Out was the only one that I've seen by my own accord.
Did she just watch Halloween or Get Out for the first time this year?Or she's just recommending it?She's just recommending it.
She's recommending ones that she loves.
Carolyn, hit us up.Hit us up on Instagram.I don't know why I'm saying that.We talk on a regular basis.Carolyn, please come talk to us again.Carolyn, please return my phone calls.
Halloween's over.Everyone shut up.Halloween ends.Halloween ends and you know what begins?I have a game and it's called The Town Hall That Dreaded Sundown.Are you familiar with, there's a movie called The Town That Dreaded Sundown?
Well, it's a scary movie.So it's a pretty good pun if you knew that that was the title of a scary movie.
It does.But this is the town hall that dreaded sundown.And here's how it's going to go, Alex.
I want more food for my kids.
It sounds like you already got it.Sounds like you already understand the game.
Okay, yeah, but please, the audience, the audience aren't as smart as I am.
This is sort of like, this is an improv style game, which we haven't played one of these in a little while, I don't think, but here's how it's going to go.
You and I are going to be in a town hall style debate, which probably you would have seen a lot around election season.It's where the two candidates are answering questions from people in the audience.
This election that we are going to be simulating in our improv scene here is an election between a human and some kind of movie monster.In my head I had Dracula.Oh, Liz Renthree some say.Correct.
I spent a lot of time thinking about Dracula, maybe more than anyone else in the world.So one of us is going to be the human, the other one is going to be Dracula.We are going to be debating in front of an audience who
Just like modern day America, it's going to be a divided audience.Half of the audience will be humans, and half the audience will be various movie monsters, your Frankensteins, your ghosts, your creatures from the Black Lagoon, your mummies, etc.
They're going to be asking questions of you, and your answers are going to have to please both sides of the audience to the best extent that you can.
It's going to be difficult because probably the monsters are going to want different things than the humans are and vice versa.Yeah.But this is politics, baby.So you're going to be doing your best best to give political answers and we'll take turns.
Whoever is asking for the questions will not be the one who is asking the questions.If that makes sense.Great.Cool.Cool.Cool.Cool.Cool.Oh, absolutely.Would you prefer to be Alex James or Count Dracula?
It would break my heart too if you are not Dracula.I do love being Dracula.Yeah, so I think you have to be Dracula too.Do I have to be Alex James?
Uh, no, you can be a different person.If you want it, you have to be a human.
Yeah.I'll be a human.I'll be a human.
Okay.Who are you going to be?Oh God.You've got a twinkle in your eye.You're going to be Mussolini.Alex, don't keep asking me if you can be Mussolini on a podcast.
And I say, no, you came up to me and said, can we do a podcast?And I said, I'll do a Mussolini cast with you.It's not, it's a fictional. It's going to be a fictional human.
It can't be Monkey D. Luffy.You keep asking me if you can be Monkey D. Luffy and I say no, Alex.
He doesn't want anything to do with politics.The whole show is about freedom.Isn't that right, Gibby?No, it's going to be a fictional human inspired by politicians of the past.Great.Sounds great.
Can we do Bill... Bill... Kill... Blin... Blinton.
Kill Blinton.The only thing that, uh... The only thing that I think might be confusing is that you're a human named Kill.And that almost sounds like a human, like a movie monster. Okay, you'll be Silly Blinton.Silly Blinton.Silly Blinton the human.
Silliness Rutherford Blilton.
Much more straightforward than playing Alex James.I'm really glad that we took this fun little tangent.Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to tonight's town hall.I'm your, who's the person that kind of controls the town hall, Mr. Blinton?
I'm the moderator for tonight's town hall.So I'll be stepping in.I'll probably forget my own voice that I'm doing.It's just sort of a laid back Southern voice.Maybe I can remember that.
But tonight we have our two candidates are going to be answering questions from the audience.
I'm your circuit moderator, does that help?I came all the way from the Black Lagoon.
Yes it does.Obviously I'm the human moderator and with me is one of our creature from the Black Lagoon moderators.
Did you say MTC or NBC?MTC.Because it's all black and good.Gibby, stop distracting people when they're trying to do an improvised town hall meeting.She keeps bumping her head against my hand.So adorable.Gibby, we'll talk after the podcast.
Right now we're in a recording session.Okay. Oh, now that we've gotten past the kitten interruption.We have our two candidates.We have Mr. Count Dracula over here.Hello, everyone.Is everyone feeling good out there tonight?I'm seeing a ghost.
Hello, ghost.Have you sucked anyone's life force out lately?
No, I'm just a ghost.I'm a poltergeist.That's offensive.
Sorry.And we've got a candidate for the human party, Mr. Silly Blinton.Hello, everyone.Which is a strange name, but I do need to reiterate, he's just meant to be a normal human.
I'm just a guy.I'm a human guy.
We'll do the coin flip.Mr. Blinton, do you want to, can you say heads or tails?
Uh, I have to look up cornflip generator on my computer.
But they don't have coins in the Black Lagoon.
Thank you for that input, Mr. Black Lagoon.You picked tails, Mr. Blinton?Yeah.It did come up head, so Mr. Dracula, it's up to you whether you would like to speak first or second. Blair, I would like to go second.Let this fool dig his own grave.
You hear that?He's insulting me already.Am I right?
All right, all right, candidates.Now you will... Oh, I've sort of become a McConaughey of myself.All right, the candidates, let's have a nice... I was just joking.Mr. Blinton, I'm sorry.I was having a little fun with you.
When I called you a fool.
Okay.Uh, we have our first question out here.Hello!
Oh, a regular person, hello.Hello, I'm a human like you, Mr. Blinton.Hello, what's your name, madam?My name is Winifred Wobbegon.Wobbegon, yeah.
And I want to know, so every night I have these vampires scratching at my door, asking if they could come in, clanking bottles together on their hands, saying, come out to play.
and I want to know when you become president what will you do to make sure that there aren't vampires trying to get us to come outside so they can eat us
Alright, alright.Settle down crowd.It is nice that vampires come out and eat us.That cannot be disputed but I think if we just have the just say no initiative still come out.Vampires don't come into your house if you
if you don't let them in and uh and it's not nice for them to eat you that's that's for sure uh but you know sometimes they have to live too and we have to live together maybe if i make a program that's what i'll do i'll make a program where uh they they only eat bad people so miss womanfood or whatever your name was Winifred Winifred
As long as you're not a bad person, that you don't have to worry about that, B. Oh no, I'm a terrible, I did a hit and run accident in 1997.Oh, I think the statute of limitations are up on that.Did the person die?
Thank you.Yeah, they did.Boo!Oh, that was me!
Oh, wow, well.And there are hard feelings.Oh, man.
Oh, well, uh, well then I guess you'll just have to be inside, Mr. Winifred.
No more thanks for nothing!
I'm talking to my opponent, Mr. Blinton.
I was looking over there.Yeah, that's the situation.We gotta feed the vampires, but you can't feed them good people.I say if you don't want to be fed, just stay inside.
The audience is, as you can see, reacting very well to that.We have everyone's up on their feet.We got some very happy looking vampires.It seems like it will be easier for them to eat people if we are just throwing bad people out to them.
lower their crime rate down.
It will, and what I love about it is that it puts us, the government, in charge of deciding who the good and bad people are.Alright, we have another question here for Count Dracula.
It's your turn here to answer now and we will go to an audience member for your next question.
I have very good friends who are mummies.It is always good to talk to a man of the cloth as it were.
Well it takes one to know one to be a demonized entity.
Let me put my reading glasses.
My father worked at the same job for the last 60 years of his life and was able to have a steady income that could provide for him and his family.How would you, nowadays, people have to work multiple jobs to get the same income.
How would you do with this, the influctuating economy, the house prices going up, gas prices and groceries going up? Mr. Dracula, how will you handle this economy situation?Yes, yes.
This is a very good question, and I expected it from a mommy.Given how long-lived you are, I understand that inflation and the currency, the monetary system is very important to you.
And I couldn't agree more, you know, the time was a single person, head of household, could earn enough to provide for entire family and have a little leisure time left over for themselves and that's just no longer possible.
In Mr. Blinton's America, it would get even worse.Okay, okay.Alright, okay.I'm sorry, we'll lay off the personal attacks.That is why I am an advocate of the universal basic income.
I want more people to feel free that they can pursue their bliss and stay in their homes and maybe open the window of an evening and let a handsome bat into their house because they're not worried about where their next meal is coming from.
I want everyone to be able to indulge in rich meats and very thick wines and make themselves lazy and delicious.For no particular reason of my own, I just enjoy human flourishing.
So you're gonna supplement the job market so people can be more relaxed at home?
Maybe one person could work a part-time job and the other person could work full-time.It gives us many more options for leisure, Mr. Mummy.
Audience not liking that one so much, a lot of people seem to think... There seems to be a bunch of locusts coming out of the mummy's mouth now.
Oh no!Get him out of here!
Okay, can I just take the floor for a second?
I feel like my opponent is gonna call me out on this, but I know in the past- This is a breach of protocol!I know, I know.
I know in the past there were clips of me saying that zombies and mummies are just one and the same, and just some of them have sand in their butts.And just, again, that was taken out of context, and I do not- Boo!
I know!Go back where you came from!Oh, I'm sorry. Show us the birth certificate!
Alright, now we'll have one final question for both candidates will be able to answer this one.You'll each have 30 seconds.What did you say your name was again?My name, the moderator?
I think it was just Matthew McConaughey.
And I'm not the creature from the Black Lagoon, I'm just A1.
We'll just take one more question.Mr. Blinton, it'll go to you first.
Okay.Hello.Hello.How are you doing today?
I'm all right.I'm a skeleton.Do you know what my name is?Do you have a job?I do.That's a call back to a previous episode.
That's a call back to my good economics instructors that you are well employed.What is your name, skeleton?
It's Ken Bones.Ken Bones?Do you remember? no relation yeah okay i'm a skeleton um what will you do to prevent people from running up to other people and playing tunes on their rib cages with a pair of mallets like it was a xylophone well first of all
Hey first of all get that guy out of here.He's got a pair of mallets in his back pocket.No I don't.Those mallet greases are such a rampant rampant going through society.
Yeah but uh we just need a more strong uh stronger situation you know what I'm gonna You know what the problem is, Mr. Skeleton, is that we've got body snatchers and ghosts coming around.You all are missing different parts of each other.
So like, you know, like zombies are like the body without a soul and then the ghosts are souls without a body. I'm gonna smoosh them together so they become a whole person again.
And then when they're a whole person, they're gonna need better bones, so put the skeletons in there.
The three become one, and then you ribcage on out for them to play as a xylophone, and you all become your own individual persons that get to vote three times.
Oh my, oh my, the audience is on his feet.
I don't think we have to go to Mr. Dracula for his rebuttal to that question, but I don't know what he could possibly say that would please the crowd more than... Well, it looks like Mr. Dracula has a spring in his step and his fang just did a sparkle, so he must have something in his eye.
Hello, yes, my opponent answered that question about as well as you possibly could.I only have one rebuttal.And that is, did you guys see that movie Cube?Yeah, we saw that movie Cube.That was a pretty good movie.It was kind of cool.
I liked how cubed it was.
Yeah, we all liked how cubed it was.So if I am president, anybody who hits you in the chest with a mallet will go in the cube.
Oh, that was a terrible thing to go in the cube.
That's right.And so they won't want to do it.
That kind of sounds like my solution to vampires eating.
Yeah, I guess we're not so different after all.Maybe you and I should smoosh ourselves together.Become one?
And become one.Where to do the Dragon Ball Z fusion dance?Nope.Okay.
Well, looks like that's about the time that we have today.
Yes, I believe that is the end of tonight's debate, so may the best man win.Good night, everyone.From CNN, this has been a live debate.Wonderful game.Alex, I don't think that... I don't think that there is a better possible answer.
I've never thought about the fact that monsters are just different parts of people.I didn't either.That silly Blinton.That was inspired.
I think out of 10 points, I've got to give you 10 points for that answer.Whoa!
For that answer alone, it was a strong performance, but you brought it at the very end.But unfortunately, I only got eight electoral points.
Oh, no, that's right.Because you're from an overrepresented district.I don't know how the electoral college works.But it was a really funny joke.So it was a really funny joke.Everyone was laughing.
How many points do I get out of 10?Oh, man.I'm gonna I love that.Just the just the switch between each characters.But I am a but I am competitive.So I'm gonna give you a nine point nine points.
I'll take it.Thank you.I'm head on top. It's we're still neck and neck going into the second game.
Wait, neck?Necks?Like neck like the body part?
Necks made me think of spines.Like the spines of books. Andy, you just remind me, I have all these book reports to write.Oh no, Alex, I thought you were setting me up for something else.It didn't seem like it.
If I thought about it for two seconds, it would have been great.Well, geez, I can help you write these book reports.But here's the problem, Andy. is that I come from a legacy of dyslexia.
So I know that these book reports, I think I got the wrong books.Oh, no.I think there's just something slightly off with each of these books.If I read you a bit from these book reports, could you tell me what books they're from?Yes.
Absolutely.I'm really excited about this.I love books.
Is this the quickest turnaround we've had between games?
Uh, possibly.The second thing that I want to call out is that in case this is your first episode, we should call out that you, Alex, do have dyslexia.And we're not just using dyslexia as a fun setup for a game.
It's my character arc.Just in case somebody's listening and they think we're being like, Here's a fun game where, what if you had dyslexia and had to read a book?
Yeah, go back to two episodes where I had to read News Report live on Thanksgiving.
Or that one where I had you reading scripts.
Shout out to Carolyn.Please respond to our emails.Please call us back, Carolyn.We'll miss you. Great, so yes I have these book reports and there's just something slightly off.I think the best way to do it is to give you the first one.
I've got six here and then maybe a bonus one.But here's a line from one of my first ones.Befriending a childless tycoon who gives me lukewarm soup and a nice day at the park.
befriending a childish tycoon who gives me lukewarm soup and a nice day at the park.
Again, I was supposed to write these book reports about real famous books that you might actually write in school, but I think I was hoodwinked into thinking I was finding something that was just slightly off about it.
So is this going to be something that is kind of like a title, like a regular book title, but slightly tweaked?
Okay, so is this, can you give it to me one more time?
Yeah, it's befriending a childish tycoon who gives me lukewarm soup and a nice day at the park.
And a nice day at the park and lukewarm soup.No, go ahead and give me this one so I understand the game.
Yeah, it's good.Luke got this as an example too.This was the just okay Gatsby.
Okay.Okay.I got my feet under me now.
Yeah, you get that.Let me tell you, sometimes they're just puns.Sometimes they are like this too.
Okay.We'll see how well I do with this one.
Yeah.Okay.Here we go.Here's the first official one.Okay.Elizabeth Bennet must find love when she has dates.Like actual dates.
Elizabeth what's her last name?
Bennett.The name sounds familiar, but I don't know what the original book was.Is it
is it it's not great expectations because that's she's not in that one what if i say she tries to find love with a mr darcy oh god that's even worse because now everyone what is what is that one that's uh it's a jane it's not jane eyre yeah uh you're thinking of the author thinking of the author jane
Uh, uh, uh, uh, Mr. Darcy, it's, it's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
uh dried dried and prejudice oh close uh you got you got you got well is it the right book you're in the right book uh but i was but i i the book i read was prunes and prejudice prunes and prejudice but prunes are a different fruit oh are they i didn't know that i have dyslexia i don't know what fruits are uh i think
Dates and figs maybe are the same thing, or maybe I'm wrong about that.I think dates and dried... Oh god.In the last 20 seconds, I have shown the audience exactly how dumb I am.
That it took me a half an hour to get Pride and Prejudice, and I don't know if a date
It was Jane Austen's, the author, by the way.
Yeah.Okay.Okay.Okay.I didn't get any points for that one.
Okay.These, like I said, these are some wacky titles.
Can I get one, like half, half credit for getting the book right?Oh, yeah.Oh, absolutely.Oh, absolutely.
Oh, absolutely.You get, uh, you get some, you get some points.Uh, here's the, here's the next book, book, book, book, report, head writer.
A boy in a red hunting cap stains his clothes when he falls into a vat of natural substances that he has used to add color.
Oh, a boy in a red hunting cap falls into a vat of substances, natural substances used to add color.So I think there's dye is part of this.
And do you read books?I do.
If you think that people are listening to this and being like, Oh, I know what it is.
Um, okay.People are screaming.We're going to, I, I could name three people off the top of my head that are going to be like, he should have got that one.
Okay.If you know what Alex is talking about already without any hints and you write it in, I believe you and you get 10 bonus points.But if you don't know what Alex is talking about, please write in and I get 10 bonus points. Um, I don't know it.
You were right about the die.
The boy in the red hunting cap is the thing that's only talking about the book.
Boy in the Red, that's what I don't get.I don't know any books with a boy with a red hunting cap.What if I told you- Is it Charlie Brown or Christopher Robin?
What if I told you the name of the boy?Tell me the name of the boy, please.Holden Caulfield.
Oh, he has a red hunting cap?
Yeah, that's his big old thing.
I read that book in high school, which, as you know from me, was in the late 70s.
So I've forgotten most of it.
Oh, I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna give you you got you got the die.I got the die.You got the die.Next one.After my friend the theological physicists undergo surgery to become more intelligent.
I bring him a bunch of attractive a range of colorful plants. After my friend, the theoretical physicist undergoes surgery to become more intelligent.I bring him an attractive range of colorful plants.This is flowers for Algernon.Yes.
The Theoretical Fizzers, Fizzersmish.So I imagine that Algernon is swapped out for a Theoretical Physicist's name?But I don't really know that many Theoretical Physicists, I don't think.If you had to, think of one.Oh, Flowers for Albert Einstein?
Oh boy, thanks for helping me.I guess the contents of this game is that you're helping me write this book?That's right!
Uh, here we are, number four, uh, before, uh, uh, oh man, I don't know, this book was so tough, this is Big Brother Watches Me, when I was the age that I was when I first walked for Disney, the number of tentacles on an octopus, and the number of golden girls.
Well, this is just 1984, right?No!
1984, what are you, some sort of idiot?This book was 19-8-and-4!Okay.The age I was, the number of... Gotcha, yeah.
No points for me then.No, you get some points.Okay.
Why would you think I would read the actual book?
I don't know.I'm yeah, I am struggling to understand what exactly the situation is that you got yourself into.Yeah, but I'm willing to help.
Originally, I think there was supposed to be some sort of librarian character here.But but you gave me such a great setup for with the spine and neck.
Let me peek behind the curtain.I feel like you haven't done a game in a while where you get pulled into an alternate dimension.
I know that you don't have full control over that, but I have been wondering why, why that doesn't seem to have happened for the last several episodes.
I feel like they need to be like, now they're like expected.
Oh, they need to be a surprise.
Yeah, they need to like, it needs to just be like the run of the mill regular.
Yep.Yep.We can't let people get too accustomed to anything.
Yeah, speak about being too accustomed.Here's the last one.Okay.Oh, except for the bonus one.
following the interconnecting lives of five aristocratic families, their struggles, romances, and personal journey through the dramatic period of the Napoleonic era of Russia.
Also, their portal into their home has a squeaky hinge, but I can fix that up with some lubricant.
Okay, okay, okay.Five aristocratic families, the era of the Napoleonic Wars.This takes place in Russia.Yeah.
But also the portal into their homes have a squeaky hinge.But don't worry, I can fix that up with some lubricant.Is this door and squeaks?
Instead of what?Instead of war and peace?
It was door and grease.Door and grease, okay!Wow, I'm super impressed.I can't give you full points, but I'm impressed that you got that far too.No, it would be unfair.Well, that concludes my book report.
Hello, it's me, a librarian!
That's so fast!I have trapped Alec in a book and put that book in the Domen Dimension!
You what?!Bet you didn't see that coming!A librarian?
I didn't see that coming!
My name is... Books McGee!Oh no, Books McGee!
I'm a well-thought-out character and I'm here to deliver the last bonus question to you, Andy North!
Wow, it's great to see you, Books Mickey.What a treat for both me and the audience.
Thank you.I'm very flushed out, like all these books I have.
I know, I can tell that you've been cooking for a long time.I was the one...
I was the one that gave Alex his book report assignment.Oh I see.And he's doing well so far but if you don't get this one then I'm your co-host now.
That's fine I wouldn't mind having you around.Obviously your name, your sort of entire character, your backstory is definitely written down somewhere.This feels like the result of long prep.
All right, what's the last one, Books McGee?Oh, right.
This is the bonus one for you, Andy.
It says, I would hunt that whale too, but it looks like he's got a bunch of fungi on his genitals.
Bro. I don't want to say it.
I should make it the title of the episode except nobody would download that episode then.
This is why it's a bonus episode.I mean a bonus question.
Oh no!You said the one there!
Oh, that must have been the spell that sent the librarian away to the... Alex!I crawled out of a book!You're back!Yeah!We had a very abbreviated adventure of the type that we've had before.
Oh no, was it Books McGee again?It was Books McGee again!She trapped you in a book, you were in the Donut Dimension.She keeps bugging me, but I don't know what to say to get her to leave.
I've already forgotten.Otherwise, I would tell you. Oh man, I'll just have to look at the title of this episode.No, it's too bad because I'm sure she'll be coming back because there's no way.I'm sure she'll be a recurring character on the podcast.
She dropped my report card.And it said for, it said getting almost all of these.Look, you were complaining about how dumb you were earlier.Yes.But I think you did a very good job.Thank you.
And it looks like the total points that you got was 24 points.24 points?How many were possible out of there?
I gave five points for each one and we did six including the bonus one, not including the just okay Gatsby, which let me tell you, talk about threshed out, me thinking about that as a funny concept and trying to make a whole game about it.
One day I was just walking down the street and I was like, you know what's pretty funny?The Just Okay Gatsby.
I like that a lot.I want to give you 30 points because I really like that game.I would like to play it or one similar to it again.
Well, if we ever can think of the phrase that summons Book McGee again, she'll be here.
I hope that is lost to the annals of history.Speaking of the annals of history, oh, I should say, before we move on from it, audience, if you write in telling it, because I'm not going to look it up.
So somebody write in telling us the difference between figs, dates, and what was the third thing?Prunes.And prunes.Yeah.And if there is a difference between with those fruits, their dried counterparts in them, are two of them the same thing?
I don't think dates and figs are the same thing.
No, I think somewhere in there they have very close ancestral or genetic tidings.Yeah.And I wouldn't be surprised if two of those three are the same thing, but there's definitely some.
There is a lot of, there's a lot of fuzziness around here.Yeah.Okay.Call back to our last episode.I did just get scared by a thud.
I thought there was a thought against the window in the other room, but it was just Gibby jumping down off of her shelf.
She heard all your biggest fears now.She's going to go out and write a scary anime.
She's going to be showing me Junji Ito pictures when I wake up in the morning.
To prank me give me don't you dare Alex are you ready for the final scores after an election day special episode?That's a very themed episode We have in second place with 33 points, mr. Andy North and for the second time in a row
in terms of episodes just with you and me.We have Mr. Alex James walking away with 40 points and first place.That's a lot of points.That's a lot of points.Congratulations.Like I won last time, but it wasn't a high scoring game.
This was a slam dunk of an episode for you, I feel like.
Thank you, man.It's all those books that I'm reading.
I think it's that.You need to keep reading, buddy.Back in the day, you would have gotten a free personal pan pizza.Did we already talk?I brought that up on the episode before.
I don't know if you have, but I definitely know what you're talking about.
You guys had that down here too.I don't know if it was just a real thing.
No, we got to keep a book.You got to keep a book?Yeah, it's like during the summer's library reading, if you read 10 books, you got to keep one. Oh, that's nice too.Yeah.
I think I would have preferred to have the pizza.And also I think we only had to read five books to get the personal pan pizza.What?So especially if you're reading like a Goosebumps book, like you could get five books in an afternoon.Oh man.
And have the best afternoon in your life.
Goosebumps, like the title.Why I'm afraid of me.
