(bouncy music)
- From the BFG to the BFG 9000
nerds like a lot of things,
but there's something
they love above all else.
That is correcting people.
This is Um, Actually.
(energetic music)
Joining us on today's episode we have
Tao Yang.
- Hello, I'm very nerdy (laughs)
- I promise.
We also have David Gallegos.
- I'm not supposed to be here.
- And, Dani Fernandez
- More like Yum, Actually.
- Mm yum yum yum yum yum.
Well, thank you to all three of you
for coming to play with us today.
Tao, you've played once before,
but we have two new contestants here,
which we love to see.
The rules are extremely simple,
these are a stack of statements,
these are incorrect statements
about the things that you know and love,
it's up to you to find what is wrong,
buzz in and correct me.
All of your corrections must
be preceded by the phrase,
"Um, Actually", sort of Jeopardy-style,
if you don't do that I
won't give you the point,
and you can interrupt me at any point
as soon as you spot what's wrong,
you can just buzz right in.
Our first statement here
is about Venture Brothers.
The original Hank and
Dean Venture are killed
at the end of season one
in a drive-by shooting,
constructed as an homage
to the climactic scene
of the film Easy Rider.
Fortunately, the 16-year-old
twin brothers are
resurrected as clones at
the beginning of season two.
(dings)
- Um, actually.
- Yes.
- I just wanted to be the first one to-
(all laugh)
hit the buzzer, cause
I have no idea what...
(dings)
- Dani.
- Um, actually it was an
homage to Stanley Ipkiss'
character in The Mask.
(laughs)
- Man, people don't
reference The Mask enough
but no that's not--
- Thank you, that's why
I was brought on here.
- That is not what it was referencing.
(dings)
are you buzzing in, Tao?
- But the incorrect thing is that it's
referencing something?
- No no, that is it is a
reference to Easy Rider.
- Okay great then I will
guess something else then.
- Please do.
- Um, actually the
characters in season one were
already clones.
- That's correct!
- Whoa!
(all laugh)
- Yeah, I said that they were the original
Hank and Dean Venture, but they weren't.
They had actually- you find out later that
they have died many, many times.
From the first time we've seen them,
they've only ever been a rough copy
of whoever the original ones were.
I like this a lot because it feels like
a good way to address the sort of like,
the clone trope in sci-fi because like,
anytime you do that, it immediately
it's kind of like time travel,
where it immediately becomes like,
"Well why aren't you
doing that all the time?"
It feels like you can use
that to solve a lot of things.
And here's one that's like "We are,
"we literally are doing
this all the time."
They're just constantly dying.
That point will go to Tao,
and proving that you can
totally guess your way
into a right answer here.
- Oh man, all right.
- That was impressive.
- Here's a Wonder Woman question.
Wonder Woman first appeared in
DC's All Star Comics #8 in 1941,
and became the first
widely-recognized female superhero.
As is typical of DC heroes, Wonder Woman
has had many iterations and
aliases, including these:
Dinanna Truthqueen, Diana
Trevor, Wonder Girl,
Yellow Lantern, Goddess of Truth,
Miss America, Star Sapphire, Wonder Tot,
Amazon Aurora, Princess
Diana, and Diana Prince.
(dings)
Yes, David.
- Um, actually this Yellow
Lantern, that's incorrect.
- That is correct.
- Dang it, I know nothing.
(dings)
- Um, actually is it Miss America,
that she's never been Miss America?
- No, no.
- Dang it!
- She's my Miss America.
(dings)
- Um, actually I'm gonna
go with Diana Prince,
that was like a pop star
or something at some--
- Incorrect.
- Wow.
- It's her literal name. (laughs)
- That's the most real one there is.
The fake it is in that long list of names,
one of those is incorrect.
The fake one is Amazon Aurora,
which is a feature offered
by Amazon web services.
- I've used Amazon Aurora.
- So you were actually
familiar with Amazon Aurora
but didn't pick it out of--
- The words flew by.
- For sure, yeah.
And you know she is an amazon,
you could make an argument for those.
Which is why we chose it.
- Very tricky.
- After the success of Final Fantasy VII,
Squaresoft released the next game in the
Final Fantasy franchise,
Final Fantasy VIII.
And whereas Final Fantasy
VII's protagonist was named
Cloud and wielded his
iconic giant "buster sword",
Final Fantasy VIII's
protagonist was named Squall,
and his signature weapon was a "gunblade"
a weapon that would also return in
Final Fantasy XIII, wielded
by protagonist Lightning.
(dings)
- Um, actually Lightning,
I don't think that's his name at all.
- It is, yeah.
- It is?
- It is!
- I know nothing of Final Fantasy.
(dings)
- Um, actually it's a
keyblade not a gunblade?
- A keyblade is Kingdom Hearts,
so it is a gunblade.
- I am a Disney baby.
(dings)
- Um, actually there was like a spin-off
Final Fantasy game
between seven and eight?
- That's correct.
(all cheer)
Do you know what it is?
- Between seven and eight,
I'm gonna guess Final Fantasy Tactics?
- That's correct!
(all cheer)
- That was a point for Tao.
- We're not doing good.
- I know, we gotta get him, really good.
- It needs to be us first.
(all laugh)
- Guess better.
- All right, our next
question is a fan question
so this was submitted to us by someone
who just watched the show.
While many have worn the mantle,
we first meet a Marvel
superhero named Ghost Rider
through the character of Johnny Blaze,
a motorcyclist and stunt performer
who is bonded to the demon Zarathos.
(dings)
- Um actually, was it not Zarathos?
- It is Zarathos.
- It is Zarathos?
- Yeah.
(dings)
- Um, actually it's not so much bonded as
more like he made a deal with the devil.
- It's like a light agreement,
let's not say bonded, let's
not bring labels into this.
Like what are we, we're having fun here
being like demon and Ghost Rider,
can't we just like keep that going?
- Right, it's an agreement maybe. (laughs)
- No no bonded, we're
gonna say that bonded--
- Bonded, okay.
- Is an okay description of
whatever this relationship is.
(dings)
- Um, actually it's not
Johnny Blaze, I think.
- It is Johnny Blaze.
- Damn it!
- You were a little close
in guessing Johnny Blaze.
What I was really going for was that
he's not the first time that we meet
a character named Ghost Rider.
The first time we meet a
character named Ghost Rider
is not the Ghost Rider we know,
it was a masked cowboy who
was dressed all in white.
He was very different from
the Ghost Rider we know now,
but that was the first
time a character named
Ghost Rider appeared.
- It sounds like a very
scary type of Rider.
- Yeah.
- I don't wanna meet that Ghost Rider.
- It's funny you should
mention that because
his name was later changed to Night Rider
but they changed that when they realized
that that has certain
connotations within the KKK
and they're like "We
shouldn't keep this this way."
so they changed it to Phantom Rider.
- (laughs) They changed
it to Grand Wizard.
(all laugh)
- (beep) We need to actually do research
before we change the name again, okay?
No points for that one, but that's okay.
There's plenty more statements to come.
- We're not doing good.
- I know, we're horrible.
- This will bring us to
our first shiny question
of the game.
(twinkling)
- This is a game called Fictionary,
I am going to give you
the name of a monster
or creature, or something from folklore.
It'll be up to you to draw it
to the best of your ability.
I won't be judging the
quality of the drawing,
it can be as (beep) as you want it to be
but I will be looking for a couple of
key features that sort of define
the monster that I'm
going to ask you to draw.
Your creature that I
would like you to draw
for this Fictionary is the Sea Monk.
- The Sea Monk.
(tense music)
- There have been several
different imaginings
of what the Sea Monk might look like,
but they all share a couple of features.
If you get at least those
things I'm looking for,
well I just might give you that point.
Tao's capping his pen.
- Well I'm recapping.
- Dani is locking in
her answer, and David.
- Good, we peer-pressured you.
- Very good.
All right, the way we'll do this,
we'll go like one at a time down the line,
just tell us a little
bit about the Sea Monk
and then once we've revealed them all
I'll say who got a point.
- I have a strong idea
of who the Sea Monk is,
it is a Shaolin monk who lives in the sea,
you can see the little
iconic dots on his head.
- I thought those were
spider eyes. (laughs)
- I drew them very close to the eyes,
this is Buddha's hand,
iconic image and he draws his powers from.
- Yeah, it looks like
he's not allowed to eat
donuts, salt or maybe that is,
is that some sort of male/female symbol?
- Thank you, thank you yes
exactly what I was drawing.
And yeah, this is salt or beer.
(laughs)
And this here is, it looks
like a catcher's mitt
but I think I drew it
as supposed to be meat.
- Got it, got it.
- Vegetarian, no alcohol, no sex.
- All right, that is
your Sea Monk, very good.
David, let's take a look
at your interpretation.
- Sea Monk, correct?
- Yes, the Sea Monk.
- It's a monk of the sea.
Half of his body is that of
a merman, so he can swim.
He has no hands, cause
he lives in the ocean,
and he pretty much
looks like a monk to me.
Traditional beads.
- He looks like Will Smith, the genie.
- (laughs) He does look
like Will Smith's genie.
- He was my inspiration,
I'm not going to lie to you.
- Dani, let's take a
look at your Sea Monk.
- Well mine is a Sea
Monk when he transforms
into this scary monster of the sea.
He has all the features
necessary to be qualified,
as in eyes, he also has a mouth
and he has two ears
just like the Sea Monk.
Yeah, this is him, he's kind of covered in
algae and sludge.
He might look like a ghost
from Pac-Man or Darth Vader.
But I also added sea birds and seagulls.
- Looks like a Pokemon.
- Yeah, there's something kinda funny,
which is like, there are
parts of your drawing
that are not far off, and there are also
parts of your drawing
that are not far off.
Tao, you're way off, I don't
know what to do about that.
Let's take a look at what the
Sea Monk should look like.
- I think I win.
- I did the eastern--
- That's true, though you are
correct that is a Sea Monk
but it is more of a western monk
rather than an eastern monk.
- Would be pro-beer.
- Would be very pro-beer.
- With both mouth eyes squigglies.
- You got the mouth eyes squigglies--
- The two ears!
- Sometimes they're
interpreted as having sort of
like a head like a Bishop's hat,
which is kind of similar to this
weird blobby-head that you have.
And you have the arms that are
very similar to these fins.
- And this, and this hair-do.
They both have hair-dos.
- Usually they have sort of a monk tonsure
that sort of--
- It's helmet shaped.
- You have like the inverse
of the correct hairstyle
where it's like hair in the middle,
and nothing on the side.
- This is from folklore, or
is this is from a TV show?
- Yeah, you'll sometimes see it on maps,
like when they would draw
like here there be dragons,
they would have sea monsters
and things like that.
Sometimes you would see
these Sea Monks also
kind of like out in the oceans,
like hey, if you're a sailor
and you're going exploring
just be careful 'cause there's
gonna be some Sea Monks.
- So they're dangerous?
They're dangerous creatures.
- I mean, they're dangerous.
I don't know for sure, if I had to guess,
I would say they'd
probably try to drown you,
that's what most things in the sea--
- Or convert you.
- Yeah honestly, probably more dangerous.
The number of people killed by--
- Evangelicals?
- By like Christian colonialists vs fish?
Probably more the former, but yes.
So now I'm trying to decide
if I want to award anything
for this.
- You said you weren't going
based off of how good it was.
- I was not going on quality.
- That is close, it's monk.
- But mine is the sludge that is that man.
- The thing is, out of
these three drawings here,
it's just so similar.
- I got the attributes right.
- I don't know if you, I
bet he eats meat and beer,
he probably does stay away
from sex, I'm guessing.
- There's a stick figure, a Pokemon,
and an actual rendition of the Sea Monk.
- That is Will Smith, I'm sorry. (laughs)
- Will Smith as the Sea Monk.
- I might say David, that
you have enough features
that I'm looking for.
You did go for more of an
Asian monk than a western monk.
I think I'm gonna give it to David,
and we will go ahead and
collect these boards.
But I love all of these
drawings, except for Tao's.
- Wow.
(sparkling music)
- Well I said I would, and I did.
I made a bunch of mistakes
and you caught them,
here are some of our favorite
corrections from you.
@BloodlePoodle says Um
actually, Flowey's true name is
Asriel Dreemurr and the
flower is just Asriel
without a soul.
One point for you.
@nnesk says the year
1200 in Chrono Trigger
should be 12000 BC.
We dropped off a zero,
we'll put it in the future.
And from our exclusive Dropout Discord,
botbot94 says Um actually,
Orson Welles' last movie
wasn't Transformers the movie of 1986,
but rather an independent film
called Someone to Love released in 1987.
While that was his last movie,
his last role was in
Transformers the movie,
since he recorded that
after Someone to Love.
(sparkling music)
- [Mike] Conan the Barbarian
creator Robert E. Howard
sometimes referenced his
friend H.P. Lovecraft's
Cthulhu mythos in his work
like when Conan dreams
of nameless old ones,
a reference to The Great Old Ones,
also called Elder Things or Gods.
It's conceivable that Conan takes place
in the same universe as Cthulhu,
since it is set in the Chalcolithic age,
thousands of years before most of
Lovecraft's stories take place.
(dings)
- David.
- Um actually, I don't
think H.P. Lovecraft was
friends with that other guy.
- They actually were,
- Frenimies?
- No, good friends,
they were like pen pals,
they were buds.
- A lot of male friendship
it's hard to tell.
- That's true, that's true.
- Maybe they were in love?
Maybe it wasn't friends,
maybe they were just in love.
- That's true, we'll award you the point
because you've questioned
the very relationship
but no.
(dings)
Yes?
- Um actually, the time
period that Conan takes place
is not thousands of years
before H.P. Lovecraft?
At most it's like, a thousand.
- Most of Lovecraft's
stories are sort of set
in like modern day, like the
time that he was writing,
so no, the Conan the Barbarian stories
were like years and
years and years before.
(dings)
- Um actually, he doesn't
prefer to be called
Barbarian anymore, he prefers to be called
pre-civilized.
- (laughs) That's a great answer, but no.
- Are we sure?
- I'm gonna call this one
and say no one got this one.
Conan takes place during the Hyborian Age.
Which is a fictional era,
it's some sort of like
vaguely defined period where
just stuff was happening.
- Like Game of Thrones, you
know we still have like wagons,
but also dragons?
- Yeah, exactly.
But that is true that he did incorporate
stuff from H.P. Lovecraft into there.
It's like look, we're
taking place in a time when
anything could sort of happen,
so sure why can't there be
sleeping horrific monsters
that just sort of like take place?
That are just sort of gods at this time,
and that's just all part of it.
- They had a lovely bromance.
- A lovely bromance, yeah they
were like long-time pen pals,
I don't know a whole lot of the details.
- There's something there.
- Well, we will move on to
our next statement here,
which is another video game question.
Look, not everyone's parents
let them have a Nintendo.
Some folks were only
allowed to play educational
games on their computer
like Reader Rabbit,
Math Blaster, Rainbow
Islands, The Super Munchers,
Mario is Missing,
Where in the World is Carmen
Sandiego, Treasure Mountain,
and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
(dings)
- Um actually, that Mario
game isn't educational?
- It is weirdly, right?
It's a weird Mario educational
game for your computer.
- Teaches you about
like geography and like
countries and stuff?
- I could not tell you
what this game is about
but we can get that
information and let you know.
Mario is Missing, that's a good guess.
(dings)
- Um actually Rainbow
Island is not educational,
or is not a game.
- What are you saying?
- Does not belong in this list.
- (laughs) And why doesn't
it belong in the list?
- It's not a game, or
is not educational...
- Which one, Tao?
- I'm gonna go with it's not a game.
- Rainbow Islands is a game.
(dings)
- Um actually Rainbow
Island isn't educational.
- That's correct.
- Yes!
- Oh, I've been scooped!
- Rainbow Islands is the
sequel to Bubble Bobble.
- Did you play Mario is
Missing, did you know that,
or were you just guessing
based on the title?
- I think I've seen videos
of it, to fall asleep.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Yeah, I probably just
watch videos of like
off-brand Mario game retrospectives,
and I use it to fall asleep.
- So you're just like "I'm
tired, Mario is Missing is on."
- Yeah I go like this,
and I have my phone right in front of me.
- How often do you drop
your phone on your face
when you're trying to fall asleep?
- Multiple times.
Also I drop my phone just
because it's big. (laughs)
It slips out of my hands.
- That's so much nicer than me,
I normally put on like SVU and it's like
people being murdered and
that like takes me to bed.
- Yes, I have a very
nerdy person going like,
"Well here are all the Mario
games you haven't heard of."
- Do you feel like it affects your dreams?
I guess either of you.
- Yeah, it definitely (laughs)
- It makes me dream nice things.
- Except for the fact
that Mario is missing,
you can't find him.
- That's true.
But then Luigi gets to be
the star for once, you know.
- He has Luigi's Haunted
whatever the fail.
- Haunted mansion?
- Yeah.
- As he should!
He's like the best wing man for Mario,
he's always propping Mario up.
- Yeah, he does a lot and he doesn't
ask a whole lot in return.
- I know.
- Luigi, favored character by
younger siblings everywhere.
(all laugh)
Dani scooping that point,
that'll be for you.
- Thanks, I got on the board.
- Here's a question about
Full Metal Alchemist.
Alchemy follows a
fundamental principal called
Equivalent Exchange
made up of two fictional
scientific laws, the Law
of Natural Providence
states that a material can
only be transformed into
something else with the same
basic physical composition,
the Law of Human
Transmutation forbids using
alchemy to transmute
people or their souls.
(dings)
- Um actually you can transmute people.
- You can, yeah.
It is not a law that you can't do it,
it's just sort of a social moray
that you should not do that.
- Taboo.
- Yeah, it's a taboo but it's not a law of
the way alchemy works.
The other law is the Law
of Conservation of mass,
which also just happens
to be a real physical law
that just also happens
to work with alchemy,
which is that you can't
increase or decrease
the mass of the thing that you are
transforming via alchemy.
That's a point for Dani.
This will bring us to our
second shiny question.
(sparkling music)
This is a game that we call Acronym Bee.
This will work a little
bit like a spelling bee,
in that we'll kind of
like move down the line
rather than having like one thing
that everyone is answering.
So in just a moment, on this screen here
there is going to be a series of acronyms.
And it'll be up to you to
tell me what they stand for,
so we'll start with Tao, we'll
kind of move down the line.
We'll keep going as long as
people are getting them right
if someone gets one wrong,
then that one will move
on to the next person
to try and answer correctly.
This particular Acronym Bee is all about
online gaming terminology.
So, let's load up that first one,
Tao, what does this stand for?
- Massively multiplayer online RPG.
Role-playing game.
- Great, very good.
David.
- Downloadable content.
- Correct, Dani?
- Oh no.
- It's a boy band.
- I know, oh that's so funny,
I don't play games online.
It's cool, I have my own games,
I have my N64 still in my heart,
and still connected to my TV.
(tense music)
Left friend game?
- That is incorrect.
Tao, do you know this one?
- Looking for group?
- That is looking for group.
- Player versus player?
- All right, we'll jump back to Tao--
- What, no I can't get this one?
- You're out of the Bee.
- Oh, I'm out?
- You're out once you get one wrong.
- Oh I didn't know that!
- I'm sorry, so we'll
keep whittling down--
- I was like "what, no I know this one!"
Okay nevermind, I'm out.
- Tao?
- Non-playable character.
- That's close enough.
- David.
- Can I say that on...
(all laugh)
- What are you thinking of saying?
Like, we didn't put
anything offensive in here,
I hope not.
- That is a D, right?
DPS?
- That is DPS.
- Don't know it.
- You wanna just take a stab?
- Dude prone sauce. (chuckles)
- It is not dude prone sauce.
(buzzer)
Tao, do you know this one?
- Damage per second.
- It is damage per second!
All right that will
make Tao the winner but
Tao do you wanna see if you
can rack up these other ones?
- Yeah, I'll keep going.
Area of effect.
Ooh, out of mana?
- Yep.
- Free to play.
Damage over time.
- That's correct, that's
all we've got left.
That point will go to Tao.
- Thank god all the time I spent playing
World of Warcraft amounted to something.
(all laugh)
- They said it wouldn't
account for anything,
and in fact it got you one point in a game
that awards you absolutely nothing.
(sparkling music)
Hey look, I'll make mistakes,
I'll say wrong things,
and you can tell me about it.
If you wanna correct me, you
can tweet @UmActuallyShow
or go to our exclusive Dropout
Discord and correct me there.
If we like what you have to say,
we might feature it in a future episode.
(sparkling music)
This next question is about
Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog.
- Oh boy.
- Dr. Horrible has used his
doctorate in engineering
to build a variety of evil inventions
including a transmatter ray for stealing
gold from a vault, a freeze
ray that can stop time,
and a death ray that would
probably kill someone,
but it malfunctions, so
we never know for sure.
(dings)
David.
- Um actually there is no
freeze ray that stops time?
- There is a freeze ray that stops time.
(dings)
- Um actually his doctorate
isn't in engineering?
- That's correct.
Do you know what it's in?
- Is it in chemistry?
- It's not, but I'll give you the point
unless someone else can tell
me what his doctorate is in.
- Doctorate in evil?
- No, but you're shockingly close.
I'm still gonna give it to Dani,
Dr. Evil has a doctorate in evil,
Dr. Horrible has a PHD in Horribleness.
Which you were extremely close.
- I've been robbed.
- If you had come in first with that,
I probably would have given it to you,
but the fact that you
were trying to scoop Dani
I'm gonna keep that point for Dani.
Not a doctorate in engineering at all.
- Horribleness, same right?
Am I right?
- Sure.
(all laugh)
- Sure, fine.
- Whatever you wanna say.
- Look I know it's a
fictional thing but it's
kind of weird if your
last name is Horrible
then you also go in to get
your degree in horribleness,
that's a nice convenient sort of,
you know you found the job
that was perfect for you
and that's great.
This next question is
about The Twilight Zone.
In Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up
two state troopers detain a group of
seven bus passengers and
their driver at a diner,
suspecting one of them
is an alien in disguise.
The investigation yields
no results though,
and eventually they all leave
and soon thereafter are killed
when a bridge collapses,
and it is revealed that Haley,
the diner's cook, was
the Martian all along.
(dings)
- Um actually they're not all killed?
On the bridge.
- Well you know, that wasn't
what we were going for
but that's technically correct.
So I'm going to allow it.
- I haven't seen the episode in so long.
- Yeah, there is something
else that is wrong here,
but in fact yeah.
One of the folks in the
diner does come back
and is sort of like, "everyone
went over and they all died."
but that person doesn't.
Can you spot the other thing that's wrong?
- It wasn't two state troopers?
- No, there were two state troopers.
(dings)
- Um actually Haley wasn't the one?
I don't know what I'm doing.
She wasn't the Martian?
- No, it was a "he".
- He wasn't the Martian.
- He is not the Martian,
- It's a patron there.
- It's a patron, it is the
passenger who comes back.
- Yeah yeah yeah.
- The passenger is the Martian,
but it's revealed that
Haley is from Venus.
So they're both aliens, but he sort of
takes off his cap and
shows like a sort of like
big fake looking third eye.
- It's like painted on (laughs)
- It's this like really rubbery looking
it's like "aha did you see this?"
- So what you're saying is I was correct.
- No.
- You are correct, but I already said
I was gonna give that point to Dani.
- Give two points, you could share.
- Yeah so Haley, not the Martian.
Another one did survive, that
was the Martian who survived.
Well we'll move on to our next question
which is our last shiny
question of the game.
(sparkling music)
This is a game we're
calling Find the Fake,
so on the other side of this card,
there's going to be six images.
Five of these are real Superman villains,
real villains that have been
featured in Superman comics,
one of them is something
that we just made up
and commissioned an artist to draw,
so it's up to you to
identify which one is fake.
First person who can identify the fake one
will get the point, so buzzers
at the ready, and flip.
Tell me what the fake one is.
Which one is fake?
(tense music)
(dings)
Dani?
- It's the rainbow dude.
- Down here in the lower left?
That is incorrect.
(buzzer)
- No!
(dings)
- David?
- Horse guy, I mean horse with the cowboy?
- That is also incorrect.
(buzzer)
(dings)
Tao?
- I'm gonna go with, in the
middle the pick-up artist,
- The pick-up artist?
(all laugh)
- In the green suit.
- Mystery the pick-up artist. (laughs)
(buzzer)
Nope, that is also a
real Superman villain.
(dings)
- Is any of them actually
regular guy on the bottom?
- Hipster businessman?
Nope, that's also a real--
(dings)
- It's mayo man, it's the mayo dude.
That he just looks like if a
can of mayonnaise came alive.
- I squirt mayo out of my armpits!
That is also incorrect!
(dings)
- Um actually, um actually!
The joker, that guy in the
far right with the crown,
Burger King guy.
- It's truly the only one left,
we've guessed all of the other ones.
- But I clicked it and I said it.
- I'm going to allow it.
That is a character we
have named The Candy King,
but that is not a real Superman villain.
- Who is the yellow guy?
- That is Microwave Man.
- Damn, Mayo Man.
- Mayo Man.
Mayo and Microwave man
do not get along at all.
We have Microwave Man,
this is the Rainbow Raider,
The Puzzler, is The Puzzler
the one in the lower right?
(all talking at once)
- Maybe he's like the Crossword Puzzler.
- Well, just every Sunday
at lunchtime, I do my
crossword puzzle, I don't
know why Superman hates me,
he just does.
In the top middle is Toy Man,
and the bottom middle
down here is Terra Man.
By pure process of elimination
that goes to David,
but I like to allow it
on these ones because
nothing makes me happier than
when the last one guessed is the fake one.
(shimmering music)
Man, that's not even a puzzle.
That's a game.
- Not all villains have to
be like destroying the world,
they could just wanna
beat Superman in checkers.
- He destroys his self-esteem,
so that's even worse.
- Its an emotional war that
he's waging on Superman.
It feels like you
shouldn't get to say you're
a super villain if you just want to like
occasionally beat Superman in checkers.
- He's dangerously good.
- This will bring us to our
last question of the game,
(video game sound)
our last question as always
concerns real-life skills
so nothing to do with the
things we've been talking about,
just something that
might be valuable for you
in your day-to-day life.
It's time to learn to do your laundry.
Generally hot water is best
for whites, and cold is best
for colors, though the colder the water,
the harder it generally
is to remove stains.
For cotton clothes, jeans, and linens,
a normal wash is usually okay.
The delicate cycle is good for
lace items and soft sweaters,
and the permanent press
cycle helps prevent damage
to stretchy fabrics like
spandex, Lycra, and elastine.
(dings)
- Um actually that statement sounds true.
(laughs)
- Well, despite whether
or not it sounds true,
there is something wrong about it.
(dings)
- Um actually you should hand wash lace.
- I honestly had that thought too.
- I mean, you could hand
wash lace, but you could
maybe get away with having it
in the delicate cycle as well.
I like that you like looked
at the camera though,
as being like "Right? Huh? Everyone?"
- I was with you.
- That's probably more correct,
but the delicate cycle exists.
(dings)
Yes, David?
- Um actually the permanent press does not
whatever you said.
- Do the thing I said? (laughs)
- Obviously no one does
their laundry here.
- That is correct, the permanent press
should not be used for stretchy fabrics.
It's a medium heat low
tumble setting for fabrics
that you're trying to get
the wrinkles out of them.
And in fact, I think
that can be damaging to
things like spandex, so
you don't want to use the
permanent press for those things.
- We learn something new every day.
- That makes our final score 3-3-4,
which makes Dani our
winner for this episode.
- Oh really?
I was looking at you! (laughs)
I was like congratulations!
Oh shoot, that was an accident.
- Look, the game is unpredictable,
the points, they're dirty sometimes.
People guess their way into answers,
but hey that's the way the game goes.
So four points for Dani
making you our winner
for this episode, David and Tao tied for
second place with three
points each, ba-boom.
That's it for this
episode, join us next time
for even more pedantic corrections
here on Um, Actually.
