(electro pop music)
- [Mike Trapp] From fake-o
to mako nerd are passionate,
about a lot of things.
But there's something
they love above all else,
and that is correcting people.
This is Um Actually.
(introduction jingle)
Joining us today we have Adam Lustick
- Hello
- And Dan Black
- What's up?
(group laughs)
- He's the bad boy of the group.
And of course Jackie Kashian.
- Hello and welcome to my seat.
(group laughs)
- So if you haven't
played it with us before,
I have here a stack of statements.
These are false statements
about the franchises
that are nearest and
dearest to your hearts,
or if not your hearts, someone's.
(group laughs)
Some fandom is deeply
passionate about the things
I'm gonna be talking about here.
And it's up to you to find the thing
that's wrong and correct me.
There's only two rules,
the first is that all
your corrections must be
proceeded by the phrase "Um actually."
If you don't say "Um actually"
you won't get a point.
(Adam Laughs)
The second is that you can
interrupt me at any time,
just like in real life,
it doesn't matter what
I'm trying to say, what's
important is that you stop
any wrong thing that I'm saying
to prove how smart you are.
You feel ready to jump into this?
- Yes
- I feel like a million bucks
- Um actually we've already begun.
- [Mike] That's true, you best start
believing in game shows.
Uh, I don't know what I'm doing.
First question is about
Battlestar Galactica.
The surviving humans aboard the
Galactica are under constant
threat of attack from the
Vorlons, a race of cybernetic
organisms intent on destroying
The Twelve Colonies of Humanity.
(button dings)
- They're not Vorlons.
Um actually, they're not
Vorlons but I can't remember
what they are.
- I will give you the point unless someone
can tell me what they are.
(button dings)
- Um actually, they're Vornaclocks.
- They are not Vornaclocks, no.
(button dings)
- Um actually, they're not
Vorlons nor Vornaclocks,
it's pronounced Vornacrocks.
- Yeah it's all about the
pronunciation right here,
you gotta make sure that you,
like, respect their language.
- [Adam] French derivative.
- Uh no, that's incorrect.
Jackie we're gonna go ahead
and give you the point.
They're not Vorlons, they're Cylons.
- Cylons!
Moving along, this is about American Gods.
- [Mike] American Gods
- Alright.
- While Shadow Moon is nominally
on the side of the old gods,
they are not necessarily
paragons of virtue.
Mr. Wednesday is a
liar, cheat and grifter,
Mad Sweeney is a drunken
brawler and Bilquis,
goddess of love, slits the throats
of men who sleep with her.
(button dings)
Jackie.
- She doesn't slit the throats,
doesn't she consume them.
- Uh yeah.
- Um actually...
(button dings)
No!
- Um actually she consumes them.
(group laugh)
- You know what I jumped
the gun on saying yes,
but you know what Dan's gonna
swoop in there and steal it.
No chivalry, look there's
one rule in this game
and I'm constantly forgetting it,
it's like "Oh yeah, you have
to say um actually, yeah"
- It's the only rule
- Can you be specific in the manner
in which she consumes them?
- Oh yeah, of course,
with a fork and knife.
(group laughs)
- That couldn't be farther.
Bilquis actually consumes
them through her vagina
while they have sex.
- Hey now.
- Yeah, but inside
there's a fork and knife.
Have you been inside her vagina you creep?
- I can't say that I have.
- Yeah well if you get up in there,
there's a full silverware set here to go.
(group laughs)
- This is a question about pro-wrestling.
- Oh I got this.
In the fall of 1990 a giant
egg appeared at professional
wrestling events across the
country before eventually
hatching at the Survivor Series
revealing the Red Rooster,
to the delight of the crowd
at Hartford, Connecticut.
(button dings)
- Uh actually, it was
New Haven, Connecticut.
- Uh, no no, that's very very funny.
It's like "you idiots, you're in the wrong
particular town in Connecticut"
(button dings)
- [Mark] Dan?
- I'm blanking, but it's, um actually,
it's not the Red Rooster
it was the Red Turkey?
- It was not the Red
Turkey, it's very funny how
close you've gotten.
- Gobble-something.
- You're on it.
- Ahhh, um actually it's the Gobbleygook?
- You...
- Damn it, I know what this is, but I...
- I'm gonna say that's close enough.
It wasn't the Red Rooster,
it was The Gobbledy Gooker,
- Yeah see, yes, I knew what this is.
I'm just blanking on it.
I always say I'm a
professional wrestling fan,
not a historian.
- Sure.
This game's definitely gonna
ask you to dig deep sometimes,
and being like, "what
the fuck was that thing?"
- The first event I saw
was '91 in Nassau Coliseum.
- So The The Gobbledy Gooker predates you.
- Yeah but in wrestling fandom its kinda
like a throwaway reference.
Like The Gobbledy Gooker, but
I never knew how to say it.
- Yeah, I love that its
just like, you know,
this giant turkey that everyone
just hated immediately.
That's like, here it is,
you've been waiting for it,
to have like all this buildup
to like a thing that just
flops so hard, its just like,
"what is it, a big turkey?"
- It's funny I never looked that up,
I always heard of it and I never,
like, hit YouTube for that.
- You didn't hear Gobbledy
Gooker, and it's like
I gotta know more.
(group laugh)
This is about Batman.
In "The Dark Knight Returns,"
Batman and Carrie Kelly,
the next Robin to follow Jason Todd,
face off against a gang
called "The Mutants."
genetically altered criminals
terrorizing Gotham City.
(button dings)
- [Mike] Dan.
- Um actually...
(group laugh)
They're not genetically altered.
- That's correct actually.,
- Yeah see, cause they
have like a patch right?
- They're called The Mutants,
but they're not actually mutants,
they just call themselves The Mutants.
- I read that, it's Frank Miller right?
(group agrees in unison)
- And that's it for this
preview of Um Actually.

I'm Mike Trapp reminding you to
get your pets spayed and neutered
and to get your zombie pets obliterated.
Zombie pets, they're not
the pets you loved anymore.
They're gone, they're gone.
Kill them, kill them.
We're gonna ask you to spell something
from sci-fi or fantasy.
Standard spelling bee rules apply here,
so please say the name
before and after you spell
so I know when you're done.
You're allowed to ask me
to use it in a sentence
or to ask what property the word is from.
Your word is
(indistinct word)
I'll say that again.
