Um, Actually, the post-question riff about Kim Possible engaging in bad spycraft by using her real name is irrelevant because she's not a spy. She's an action hero, working openly in a world where that's just a thing people do. Nobody in the series really attempts to obscure their identity except Shego's brother.
That and her family will mess up some villains her little brothers tricked out her spy car! And in an alternate timeline her brothers help lead the resistance.
I would say super hero since she is wearing a special suit, is capturing super villains and have a batman styled grappling hook gun but they do call her a "spy" in the show even if it doesn't make any sense. But if you want terrible animated spy girls you should riff on Totally spies instead, that one has spies in the tittles. I think animated show producers in the early 00s thought super heroes were spies... Which is odd since I don't think either Kim Possible or Totally spies ever did much spying.
@@loke6664 see, I really like Totally Spies because it's clearly supposed to be an animated spiritual successor to Charlie's Angels, and I loved the original Charlie's Angels series.
Originally vampires had to stop and count anything spilled in front of them so The Count from Sesame Street is one of the most accurate vampires shown in media.
It comes from a European belief that vampires are compelled to count spilled seeds or grains. Some Slavic coastal towns also believed that vampires would count the holes in a fishing net. It was common practice to scatter seeds outside the entrances to a home (or drape fishing nets over them).
My favorite vampire bit was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where Angel is allowed into the school because there was a plaque that read "All who seek knowledge are welcome here" and he was looking for knowledge.
My favourite take on the 'must be invited in' was when The Vampire Diaries established that a house being signed over to a new owner caused vampires currently inside to be YEETED out of the nearest exit. Also, spin-off The Originals had a character arrange for a house an enemy was hiding out in to be put on the historical registry and therefore into public ownership - meaning he can just step inside at the most dramatic possible moment. Love those shows.
I’m waiting for the story where the heroes escape vampires by going into a house only for one of the vampires to reveal it legally owns the house, and/or the land the house is on.
@@jacobd1984 There is an app that lets you buy partial stake in a rental property. Have a vampire go onto the app, pay $10, and become a landlord just to attack people.
Also, I can't remember the source but I remember encountering instances of both "Open House" (to the neighborhood, but the vampire then bought another house there, so...) and a large public party, even AT someone's residence, giving the vampires essentially a "come on in".
I don't know why it outrageously shocked me that Gus hadn't watched it. I figure a guy who became part of 2000's internet culture he'd know popular 2000's cartoons of the time.
Um, actually Kim Possible's name isnt just a coincidence. She was contacted on accident for her first mission by someone attempting to reach team impossible. They made a typo and reached her instead. So her name caused her job
Her name is literally a coincidence because if it had been anything other than Kim Possible, she would not have been contacted by the person who was trying to reach Team Impossible.
But its her real name, like shegos is, and her family is really the best at a field. Its also a theme in her family. And its her real name, but that and the motto, i can do anything, got her from babysitter, to babysitter for adults, i mean heroing. XD
@@marocat4749 This show wants us to "um actually" anything they say besides just the questions, so it's fair game to rim them on the detailed discussion. ;P
Ummm actually, in The Princess Bride, the Cliffs of Insanity are in fact located on the Guilder side of the Florin Channel. The cliffs are actually the closest point between the two countries because it is the narrowest point of the channel but no one uses them for passage between the two countries due to the danger, except desperate kidnappers and mysterious men in black, of course.
Um, Actually, the Sliders did make it back to their own reality, but they didn't have enough time to verify before the next portal, and when they quickly checked to see if a fence gate still squeaked, it didn't, so they left. The audience then discovered it's because the gate had just been fixed.
Also, they identified the coordinates of Earth Prime in the later seasons, but that earth had already been taken over by the Kromaggs, making it unsafe to return without a way to fight them.
Also, they can open the portal themselves, they push the button. The thing that matters is actually the slide window. I believe they got lost on the pilot because they opened a portal early rather than waiting. So they actually do totally have control over that. And the answer which suggested that was an issue, is correct. That's an issue.
It's been a minute since watching it, I'd thought that it was that the skeleton princess was Skeleton Princess... I guess there are multiple princesses that are skeletons?

The funny thing is that if we assume generally comparable life cycles, making Grogu 50 retroactively means when Yoda is 900, being a cliche old man in the swamp, he's actually just their species' equivalent of his 40s. That or their species just goes from toddler to geriatric proportionally very quickly
If 50=5, wouldn't that mean 900=90? It's not super super old, like if you divided it by 5, though either way, it's a weird aspect of aging, though I seem to remember an episode they brought up other really old species in Star Wars
@@ToHoldNothing he can't speak and can barely walk and has to be rolled around in a carriage or carried, he's clealry a toddler, which would make him somewhere inside of 2yo. Proportionally that'd est. a 900yo Yoda as anything between 36 and 52. But again most kf that range is his 40s.
@@conradkorbol yeah, like i said: "if we assume generally comparable life cycles" because obviously its scifi and anything not explicitly stated can always potentially be clarified or retconned in, but its also starwars and it functions more on cliches and archetypes than actual hsrd internal logic. Its not like any other aliens have unique life cycles: they babies are small and fat, tween padawan are all the same proportions, adults are all size of a guy in a suit, wether they have weird limbs and bumps or not. Again, point being that 900 was meant to be old at first, but clearly no one was thinking about implications when they made Grogu 50
I really loved this episode mostly because Amy is the best (but the others were really nice too) but also because I knew some the properties in the show!
Um, Actually, the sliders do make it home in one of the season finales, but they leave again because of their home's front fence gate didn't squeak not realizing the squeak had been fixed while they were away.
The most heartbreaking part of Sliders is in one episode they DO Make it back to the right world, but they don't know it because the main character's mom's gardener oiled a gate that had been squeaking for decades so when they opened the gate and it didn't squeak he was like "Wrong world, let's keep looking."
In another, future episode he does return home and knows it's the right place, but he has to leave his world to rescue a friend for some plot reason I forgot exactly why. I haven't seen it since it first aired. But at least this time he gets to hug his mom goodbye before his adventure.
Correct me if I'm wrong; near the end of the series, they were eventually able to control where the portal goes, or at least some aspects of it. In one episode they meet an author who wrote about sliding and met him in that world. He gave them coordinates to "Earth Prime" (where he comes from), so the next time they jumped they all went there. Except it wasn't Earth Prime really. It was "Evil" Earth Prime or something like that.
Um, actually, that's how the stakes work in real vampire folklore as well. They don't kill the vampire, they just keep it from rising from its grave. That's why you ALSO are supposed to cut off its head and then burn the body to make sure you destroy it (and even then, the vampire can escape if any of the numerous birds or vermin that will appear and try and leave the burning body are allowed to get away.)
yeah thats one of the looser judgements - feels like Trapp made those a little more often this season. "mentioning anything related to anything not being a monster" ain't close enough in my book.
Same point others have made but, with apologies to the author of that quote about Frankenstein, knowledge is knowing that Chara is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Chara IS the monster. [But, in fairness, Um, Actually only cares about the first thing!]
Speaking of Darkman, I met Bruce Campbell once, and he got very excited that I remembered his cameo in Darkman. "That's right! I AM Darkman!" he told me.
in the Adventure Time question it wold have be nice if they mentioned Doctor Princess which is neither a doctor or a princess, also in the future they should make a question about Ben10, that show have so many weird moments and retcons that is perfect for "um actually" questions
Um, actually! Yes, the Sliders CAN control when the Timer opens a portal! But doing so before the Timer allows them to pushes them further away from their Home dimension. In fact, that's how their journey began. The team was trapped on an ice-age world with an oncoming blizzard, they opened an escape portal prematurely and lost track of their Home dimension in the process.

Um, Actually, the whole "JFK is a mutant" plot is from the Days of Future Past movie, which was itself inspired by X-Men issues 141-142 where the triggering event was the assassination of Sen. Robert Kelly. EDIT: Trapp may be blocking out the existence of The Flash, which aired a good four years before M.A.N.T.I.S..
The 1990s Flash? I only vaguely remember seeing a bit of an episode back in the 90s at a Mexican restaurant that's been replaced by a 50s style diner. I still want to watch it, given it's technically canon in the ARrowverse overall after Crisis on Infinite EArths
IIRC in Sliders they wouldn't always be stuck for 30 years, just until the next wormhole opens, which would often be a long time, BUT, I'm fairly sure there were some episodes where they DID skip the first portal because it was only days or weeks until the next one, and they wanted to investigate the world they were in further (then they'd usually get arrested, or separated, or something and they'd only make it to that other portal at the very last moment.
My favorite "must be invited in"-related vampire story is (I think) from Being Human (US): a vampire springs a trap by having a human buy a house where a bunch of vampires are partying, then they all burst into flames because the new owner hasn't invited them in.
I love this show!!🥰 I was so proud of myself for getting all the yells, I even got the Austin Powers one on the second playthru. I also knew the Xena theme.😅
While I appreciate that this episode had a Princess Bride question, I am disappointed by the despair clips not including “the sound of ultimate suffering.” It was especially poignant with the talk about sucking people’s life away after the points were awarded.
Yeah that's the main reason they can't get back home in the first place cause they're in a ice world and open a portal early to escape a storm heading their way.
Um actually, while that was how the device worked in pilot episode, Quinn and the Professor had to create a new equation after the device was damaged in the second or third episode (the one where it's like the 60s again because the US is in an intractable, Vietnam-esque war in Australia) which changed it to a more strictly timer based system where the portal can _only_ be opened within a specific window. They DO actually have control over whether or not to open the portal when the window opens, but if they fail to do so they become stuck for 30 years.
I never thought that Um, Actually would make me remember "The Pagemaster" from 1998 but here we are, 14 years later. The "Lion King" cry made me think of it.
In regards to the vampire invite thing, I highly recommend checking out both the movie and the show What We Do In The Shadows. They play around with this a lot in different funny scenarios. Vampire run night clubs include bouncers that formally invite you in so there isn't any confusion.
I didn't know how much I needed that factoid about Stephen King being a character in the later editions of the Princess Bride novel in my brain. Makes the po-mo parts of the later Dark Tower books when SK shows up as a character way more interesting in retrospect.
While that is one definition, I believe they were using the other equally valid definition of factoid, which is a brief or trivial piece of information.
@@havvik3505 You're technically correct, the best kind of correct. But so is Drurywalker, so the glory of correcting a stranger on the internet must be split between you two.
Um actually, Kim Possible was technically a Toon Disney show, not a Disney Channel show. And if you want to say they're the same thing, my childhood cable provider's channel packages would disagree.
The finale for Mantis is burned into my head, because the only part I saw as a kid was the last ten minutes of the finale, with no idea that it was the finale, after seeing a bunch of ads for it. So the first thing I saw was the main character blowing himself up to kill the monster of the week and then just being gone as the show closed on his friend shutting off everything in his lair.
I think my favorite take on the welcoming in a vampire is The Lost Boys in which inviting the head vampire in made all his weaknesses useless against him.
Uhm actually the Sliders CAN control when the portal opens…that’s how they get into their whole situation. The problem is that if they open one before the timer expires that’s when they get cut loose across the dimensions as it can’t find the entered co-ordinates
I'm not 100% sure but from what I remember, I would say that is incorrect. They way it initially worked was that it would slide you to a random world, but it would then always slide you back to your own. He broke that by sliding prematurely. If I remember correctly; near the end of the series, they were eventually able to control where the portal goes, or at least some aspects of it. In one episode they meet an author who wrote about sliding and met him in that world. He gave them coordinates to "Earth Prime" (where he comes from), so the next time they jumped they all went there. Except it wasn't Earth Prime really. It was "Evil" Earth Prime or something like that.
My favorite vampire must be invited in moment was on Angel where Cordelia tells Angel when she actually does get a place he’s welcome anytime and that’s taken as an invitation and he can come in.
Um actially, A stake through the heart does put a vampire into torpor in vampire the masquerade. Other ways of getting sent into torpor will end at a certain point but torpor from a stake will continue until the stake is removed

Vampire! My ex was the official Vampire: The Masquerade storyteller for the Nova Albion region (district) of White Wolf LARPers at the time we were together and I used to NPC for him. We also did casual WW tabletop campaigns with friends for Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, and Changeling. Mage was my favourite. My character was a fire mage hiding in plain sight by masquerading as a stage magician. Edit: I was going to be very disappointed if nobody recognized The Lion King.
Ummm actually Toriel IS named after a bull, as well as being named after her role as a tutorial. Many characters’ names in Undertale have multiple meanings. A perfect example would be Asriel Dreemur, whose name is simultaneously a biblical reference, a combination of his parents’ names (Asgore and Toriel) AND an anagram for “serial murderer”!
So as of the newest book in the Vampire the Masquerade there are certain flaws you can take which do make it so the character or npc can be repelled by garlic. Others include cant cross running water, having to count things that are spilled on the ground and other things that are from Vampire folk lore
From what I understand, Grogu was training at the Jedi Temple before the events of The Mandalorian. But I’m not so sure about the gap from then to the events of that show. But I do know he was being sought after by the Empire
So he'd be...how old for his species? How young are the younglings when they start getting training? Isn't Mandalorian AFTER the 4-6 trilogy? Logically, if Grogu is 50, that means he'd have been born maybe...a few years before Phantom Menace, if I'm getting the math right?
@@ToHoldNothing I guess mentally he’d probably be between 5-10 if we were comparing him to other beings or humans. Since he was a youngling during Order 66. There is 41 years between Phantom Menace and Mandalorian so he was born probably at least a decade before PM. I’m not sure when they start training but I’d say 5 or 6. I’m sure the answer is out there but I know it’s young. So yea your math checks out to me.
@@joeyteter9383 Shock to me, I always sucked at math, especially around algebra level. Not sure if my report cards in elementary school reflected great math skills, I was always way better with language arts and even sciences, I think (which is weird, because that generally requires math)
Torpor is a hibernation state that happens often when you take too much damage. Elders will enter torpor on purpose or because they arent getting enough red in them but players enter torpor because of damage usually

in the Adventure Time question it wold have be nice if they mentioned Doctor Princess which is neither a doctor or a princess, also in the future they should make a question about Ben10, that show have so many weird moments and retcons that is perfect for "um actually" questions
Um, actually! Yes, the Sliders CAN control when the Timer opens a portal! But doing so before the Timer allows them to pushes them further away from their Home dimension.
In fact, that's how their journey began. The team was trapped on an ice-age world with an oncoming blizzard, they opened an escape portal prematurely and lost track of their Home dimension in the process.
Damn I thought I was going to be the first one to say it....months after this episode came out...
Correct me if I'm wrong; near the end of the series, they were eventually able to control where the portal goes, or at least some aspects of it. In one episode they meet an author who wrote about sliding and met him in that world. He gave them coordinates to "Earth Prime" (where he comes from), so the next time they jumped they all went there. Except it wasn't Earth Prime really. It was "Evil" Earth Prime or something like that.
Um, Actually, the whole "JFK is a mutant" plot is from the Days of Future Past movie, which was itself inspired by X-Men issues 141-142 where the triggering event was the assassination of Sen. Robert Kelly.
EDIT: Trapp may be blocking out the existence of The Flash, which aired a good four years before M.A.N.T.I.S..
They got there eventually
...or the Incredible Hulk! Trap even said "incredible..." and I was hoping he was going to remember Hulk... But no.😅
_The Adventures of Superman_ 1952 FTW!
@@jb888888888 he just needed to think for a minute.
The 1990s Flash? I only vaguely remember seeing a bit of an episode back in the 90s at a Mexican restaurant that's been replaced by a 50s style diner. I still want to watch it, given it's technically canon in the ARrowverse overall after Crisis on Infinite EArths
I've never watched an episode with Gus before but he was a delight! Every joke was great.
IIRC in Sliders they wouldn't always be stuck for 30 years, just until the next wormhole opens, which would often be a long time, BUT, I'm fairly sure there were some episodes where they DID skip the first portal because it was only days or weeks until the next one, and they wanted to investigate the world they were in further (then they'd usually get arrested, or separated, or something and they'd only make it to that other portal at the very last moment.
My favorite "must be invited in"-related vampire story is (I think) from Being Human (US): a vampire springs a trap by having a human buy a house where a bunch of vampires are partying, then they all burst into flames because the new owner hasn't invited them in.
I love this show!!🥰
I was so proud of myself for getting all the yells, I even got the Austin Powers one on the second playthru. I also knew the Xena theme.😅
nope, i couldnt pull out xena. rewound a couple of times but couldnt place it.
@@DeaconTaylor disuh-POINTED!
Funny thing Xena reruns have been playing on SY FY channel. So the theme is fresh in my head.
Damn it Trapp, you actually ordered garlic from my Alexa 😭
While I appreciate that this episode had a Princess Bride question, I am disappointed by the despair clips not including “the sound of ultimate suffering.” It was especially poignant with the talk about sucking people’s life away after the points were awarded.
Exactly! Major missed opportunity.
wow really good call
This is far and away my most successful round of Umm Actually I’ve ever watched.
27:05 when Trapp said all the sounds would be sounds of despair I had a feeling the first and the last ones would be included.
Amy mentioning Zone of Truth and The Adventure Zone on Um Actually is probably the best thing I will experience today.
Merle Highchurch would be proud.
Oh man the X-men animated series had such a good opening. Thanks for the memories
It is stuck in my head forever
I haven't thought about it for quite some time but it immediately played in my head when you mentioned it.
Um actually in Sliders they can control when the vortex opens but doing so causes the machine to lose track of the home universe
Yeah that's the main reason they can't get back home in the first place cause they're in a ice world and open a portal early to escape a storm heading their way.
Um actually, while that was how the device worked in pilot episode, Quinn and the Professor had to create a new equation after the device was damaged in the second or third episode (the one where it's like the 60s again because the US is in an intractable, Vietnam-esque war in Australia) which changed it to a more strictly timer based system where the portal can _only_ be opened within a specific window.
They DO actually have control over whether or not to open the portal when the window opens, but if they fail to do so they become stuck for 30 years.
I never thought that Um, Actually would make me remember "The Pagemaster" from 1998 but here we are, 14 years later. The "Lion King" cry made me think of it.
Yay Gus is back again!
GUS!!! Excellent choice of guest, and I'm glad he said yes
Amy is such a lovely and humble contestant! I feel she was undermined by the buzzer rounds though #justiceforamy
Watching the Sounds of Despair with subtitles makes this SO much easier, but still hilarious
I was SCREAMING 'Xena' at the screen 😂 this show and Gabrielle in particular were my bi-awakening for sure
XD I just had to remove garlic from my Amazon shopping basket after this episode XD
Fun fact, there is in fact a D&D Podcast called Adventure Zone. And there usage of Zone of Truth is indeed a classic bit.
Umm Actually, They specifically said the category was X-men Comics, but then they said JFK wasn't a mutant in the comics.
In regards to the vampire invite thing, I highly recommend checking out both the movie and the show What We Do In The Shadows. They play around with this a lot in different funny scenarios.
Vampire run night clubs include bouncers that formally invite you in so there isn't any confusion.
Amy is such a delight! She has an infectious smile and laugh, and a great sense of humor; she's just so much fun to watch in these.
I didn't know how much I needed that factoid about Stephen King being a character in the later editions of the Princess Bride novel in my brain. Makes the po-mo parts of the later Dark Tower books when SK shows up as a character way more interesting in retrospect.
A factoid is something false that everyone presents as true, simply out of ignorance. You are looking for “fact”
While that is one definition, I believe they were using the other equally valid definition of factoid, which is a brief or trivial piece of information.
@@havvik3505 You're technically correct, the best kind of correct. But so is Drurywalker, so the glory of correcting a stranger on the internet must be split between you two.
I'm so glad they brought up M.A.N.T.I.S. because I watched it as a kid with my mom and I remember loving it, but I remember zero details about it.
Um actually, Kim Possible was technically a Toon Disney show, not a Disney Channel show. And if you want to say they're the same thing, my childhood cable provider's channel packages would disagree.
Tweet this at them! I think they’d love to add it to their episodes, whether it be dropout or here
Technically, here in Canada, it was a Family Channel show as we don't have the Disney Channel or Toon Disney
Nope, it was originally on Disney Channel. It was *syndicated* on Toon Disney.
@@IceMetalPunk oof. Well, it was a good attempt at a correction. But, still a good diss at their childhood cable.
@@IceMetalPunk You forgot to say Um Actually, my buddy
A welcome mat is invitation enough for a vampire’s entry. Keep safe, y’all.
i love the fact the subtitles identified who is crying in despair in the second shiny question... and apparently the music intros of shiny question 3
The Vampire Diaries does lots of fun exploration into the "invited in" rules. HIGHLY recommend it and both the spin-offs.
I knew the Simba and Mufasa scream immediately. My heart.
Had to turn off the subtitles to play along with the last shiny question.
It gave me the answers to the first 2 questions, lmao.
The finale for Mantis is burned into my head, because the only part I saw as a kid was the last ten minutes of the finale, with no idea that it was the finale, after seeing a bunch of ads for it. So the first thing I saw was the main character blowing himself up to kill the monster of the week and then just being gone as the show closed on his friend shutting off everything in his lair.
It's great. If you have the closed captions on, it gives you most of the answers for the second shiny question.
Also, the 3rd shiny question as well.
My favorite Vampire retcon is garlic. It isn't a repellent. They want you to eat it cause it helps with blood flow
A quick shout out to the Possible family, which includes the twin brothers Jim and Tim Possible
I think my favorite take on the welcoming in a vampire is The Lost Boys in which inviting the head vampire in made all his weaknesses useless against him.
6:47 Amy’s adventure zone/time slip with the zone of truth was top tier
Uhm actually the Sliders CAN control when the portal opens…that’s how they get into their whole situation. The problem is that if they open one before the timer expires that’s when they get cut loose across the dimensions as it can’t find the entered co-ordinates
I'm not 100% sure but from what I remember, I would say that is incorrect. They way it initially worked was that it would slide you to a random world, but it would then always slide you back to your own. He broke that by sliding prematurely.
If I remember correctly; near the end of the series, they were eventually able to control where the portal goes, or at least some aspects of it. In one episode they meet an author who wrote about sliding and met him in that world. He gave them coordinates to "Earth Prime" (where he comes from), so the next time they jumped they all went there. Except it wasn't Earth Prime really. It was "Evil" Earth Prime or something like that.
My favorite vampire must be invited in moment was on Angel where Cordelia tells Angel when she actually does get a place he’s welcome anytime and that’s taken as an invitation and he can come in.
Um actually, Matt Mercer and Brenan Mulligan can provide the best head to head D&D trivia speed round.
Um actially, A stake through the heart does put a vampire into torpor in vampire the masquerade. Other ways of getting sent into torpor will end at a certain point but torpor from a stake will continue until the stake is removed
The jfk being a mutant is actually touched upon in the first class franchise when xavier confronts erik for killing jfk and erik says y would i kill him he was one of us
Loved this episode. Great chemistry from the entire show.
Vampire! My ex was the official Vampire: The Masquerade storyteller for the Nova Albion region (district) of White Wolf LARPers at the time we were together and I used to NPC for him. We also did casual WW tabletop campaigns with friends for Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, and Changeling. Mage was my favourite. My character was a fire mage hiding in plain sight by masquerading as a stage magician.
Edit: I was going to be very disappointed if nobody recognized The Lion King.
Oh man back to the studio! Can't wait!!!
Sorry to disappoint you, but they haven't returned to the studio.
ha, thats funny the mobile version commented on this one even tho I was refering to the Season 7 trailer they dropped earlier today xD
Ummm actually Toriel IS named after a bull, as well as being named after her role as a tutorial. Many characters’ names in Undertale have multiple meanings. A perfect example would be Asriel Dreemur, whose name is simultaneously a biblical reference, a combination of his parents’ names (Asgore and Toriel) AND an anagram for “serial murderer”!
um, actually, toriel's a goat
Sir, that Milf is a Goat, no bull.
I never caught on to that anagram thing! That's pretty cool!!
This title summed up my childhood in the 90s to early 2000s... I miss those days... except season 5 of Sliders.
So as of the newest book in the Vampire the Masquerade there are certain flaws you can take which do make it so the character or npc can be repelled by garlic. Others include cant cross running water, having to count things that are spilled on the ground and other things that are from Vampire folk lore
I literally gasped when they played the lion king clip, can't believe that they didn't get that right away, my childhood!!
Just recently discovered you guys and love this awesome info. Shout out to Gus, my fav DM(stinky dragon rocks).
From what I understand, Grogu was training at the Jedi Temple before the events of The Mandalorian. But I’m not so sure about the gap from then to the events of that show. But I do know he was being sought after by the Empire
So he'd be...how old for his species? How young are the younglings when they start getting training? Isn't Mandalorian AFTER the 4-6 trilogy? Logically, if Grogu is 50, that means he'd have been born maybe...a few years before Phantom Menace, if I'm getting the math right?
@@ToHoldNothing I guess mentally he’d probably be between 5-10 if we were comparing him to other beings or humans. Since he was a youngling during Order 66. There is 41 years between Phantom Menace and Mandalorian so he was born probably at least a decade before PM. I’m not sure when they start training but I’d say 5 or 6. I’m sure the answer is out there but I know it’s young. So yea your math checks out to me.
@@joeyteter9383 Shock to me, I always sucked at math, especially around algebra level. Not sure if my report cards in elementary school reflected great math skills, I was always way better with language arts and even sciences, I think (which is weird, because that generally requires math)
Torpor is a hibernation state that happens often when you take too much damage. Elders will enter torpor on purpose or because they arent getting enough red in them but players enter torpor because of damage usually
Amy might be my favorite contestant ever
Close Enough season 3 has a vampire segment in their Halloween episode where they're Margarita Vampires and Alex decides to just send an e-vite to get the other vampires in, since Josh already invited him in, I think
Not the captions spoiling all of the shiny audio questions
I like all these episodes but I specifically watched this one for the Princess Bride question. I can't believe how convoluted and weird it was.
This was so much fun and I did pretty well for once! Yeah that last one was the easiest since Grapefruits are highly dangerous- if you are on blood thinners, blood pressure meds, or any antidepressants or mental meds, it can be incredibly harmful. Also how did it take them THAT LONG on the Kim Possible question???
Immunosuppressants like tacrolimus too. Get that grapefruit away from me!
This was the best episode ever it hit on everything from the 90s that I love sliders mantis , Xena, simpsons
Can you imagine if there was a huge amount of suspicion online towards Trapp being a murderer? That would be wild 👀
What are you talking About 🤣
@@breewoodward3651 exactly, those are the kinds of questions we should be asking! What are we talking about? Who are we talking about? Where will the documentary about this air? What could have driven such a nice person like Mike Trapp to do such a thing? How can we ever truly understand the darkness that lurks within the human soul??
Sorry I mean "allegedly" done such a thing
@@dandelionthief3979 what...
@@breewoodward3651 he killed Pat Cassles
Hilariously magneto was trying to save him for the bullet that was fired by the winter soldier, aka, the assassin with a metal arm
36:08 In addition to being the opening theme for One Punch Man, the song exists totally before and separated from the show
Yet again this show is more entertaining than most TV game shows
The president zombie thing happened in Deadpool vol 5 issues 1 - 6 by Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan if anyone was wondering.
I was really hoping that Trapp would introduce Gus again at the end of the introductions.
I love how TH-cam's subtitles just tells you the song being played during Legal Limit.
in the sounds of despair shiny question whenever they do it again i hope they include the callisto scream from xena warrior princess because it is just... a whole vibe
Now I just want to watch a show about Bimbo Fizzwater and Thurm Scissorpunch.
The last episode of M.A.N.T.I.S. wasn't released, but the last episode that was came out in 1995 so just a few years after Jurassic Park came out.
I had closed caption on so all the audio was labeled immediately for the shiny question.
Dammit, Trapp, you actually added garlic to my shopping cart!
