I also had a coffee correction because Trapp says that Cafe au Lait calls for filter coffee. Not technically incorrect, but real Cafe au Lait should be coffee with chicory, and steamed milk. New Orleans represent!
And even then it's because the question itself is wrong, not that you found the intended answer haha That's the most Um Actually way that could have gone

So glad the Aussie got the coffee question right. By technical definitions the definition of Cafe au Lait provided is also incorrect as the type of coffee extraction is irrelevant for the term to apply. The term Latte is technically just the word for milk even though it more commonly means coffee with a slightly frothed milk that is folded back in. One good way of checking a good latte technique is pouring it into a glass and seeing how many distinct layers you get, it should more than 7 by most baristas but more like 14. A flat white is correctly zero froth, a cappuccino is 1/3 froth and usually served with chocolate powder on top, all froth and no coffee would be a babycino.
It's not correct to say that there is no foam on top of the drink. It's microfoam that is better incorporated than the dry foam sometimes used for cappuccinos, but it's 100% there and will separate over time. The latte art or white dot that is often on top of flat whites would be impossible without foam
That mouse is one hundred percent singing about fucking those barfly mice, and Dawson gets totally tanked and loses all control. Kid's movies are great.
The confusion they were running into in the show was the difference between "weakness" and other types having "resistance" to that type. Grass pokemon do not have a "weakness" to steal moves, but steal pokemon do have "resistance" to grass moves. While its fair to say grass is ineffective against steal pokemon, it is incorrect to say that grass pokemon are weak to steal.
Okay I would love an episode where every guest is from a different country, however in America all the statments are true, the gimmick of the episode is to find what would be different in another country from the statement.
My corrections aside, MAUDE! Always good to see her in other places ♥ I also very much appreciate Erika's choice of name for the process of screaming details until you stumble upon an answer: the Brennan 😂 And to join in the discussion: Lola Bunny from the original Space Jam.
Erika is always such an absolute delight. Deserved her dominating victory here. Congrats to Maude for getting the Real Life question right, even overriding Trapp!
I can explain why Dr Teeth doesn't lead the orchestra - Rowlf was the show's music director. The orchestra consisted of the musicians hired by the show (which included The Electric Mayhem.) I could have sworn Dr Teeth had appeared in the orchestra pit from time to time, but he crosses over with Rowlf because they both play piano. They're also both performed by Jim Henson, so they would generally avoid having them in scenes together. Henson preferred performing Rowlf because it was easier on his voice, so Dr Teeth appeared less frequently and often without dialogue.
Wdym finally? Damn near every episode, he says "Questions... Er. Statements?" He makes the mistake all the time, but he also coreects himself constantly as well.
@@NikNak32 Nope, I'm sure he's done it a few times (he's weirdly way less confident as the host than he is as a contestant on Dropout shows), but he usually says "Statements". Maybe in early episodes? I didn't watch the first season or two before it was filmed on this set.
IMO the Real Life question should always be worth one more point that the spread between the person with the highest score and the person with the lowest score going into the final question.
@@jasonschuler2256 It's the only question that matters, because it's real life skills and not nerdy bullshit. Let's say you know all there is to know about Superman. That takes a lot of work, a lot of dedication. But do you know how to install a toilet main? That's knowledge is actually important.
@@jb888888888 Why does the question about different types of coffee "matter"? I don't drink coffee. I'm not a barista. That's just as much useless knowledge to me as any of the other questions. Actually, the question about Pokemon types is far more relevant to me because I do competitive Pokemon battles.
Um actually in Uruk-hai we’re not originally bred by Saruman by but rather by Sauron. Tolkien used the term Uruk and Uruk-hai interchangeably and Sauron created the original Uruks in Mordor. Saruman created his own in Isengard much later. It is only in the movie trilogy that they are attributed to Saruman as the sole creator and originator.
Um actually Uruk-hai is black speech where Uruk is Orc (or Ork) and hai is folk so Uruk-hai is Orc-folk, and thus all Orcs are Uruks. Since Melkor created the first orcs by crossing them with unknown dark creatures and corrupting their spirits, it is more correct to say Melkor created the Uruks. On to your point about what Sauron did or didn't do, he did create the larger man-sized Orcs (generally referred to as Black Uruks), that the free peoples started to call Uruks to differentiate between the very noticeable size difference and improved fighting ability these new enemies had. Then Saruman also created an improved version of Orc (which did not come from the Black Uruk stock), that were from crossing them with a rare breed called goblinmen which until then were the only form of Uruk-hai that did not have a weakness to full sunlight (issues before were difficulty to heal/regain stamina).
@@colinfun To be fair, there is also another type of Uruk-hai that was found in Mordor and was almost certainly created by Sauron so it's more like Saruman and Sauron both invented the Uruk-hai but the two Uruk-hai were also different.
@@fick2637 Um, actually, iirc the Uruk-Hai that Sam and Frodo encounter in Mordor were ALSO created by Saruman and had been sent to Mordor as tribute (I believe some mentions were made of "Sharky"). Hence the tension in the ranks between the Mordor Orcs and Uruk-Hai at the Tower of Cirith Ungol that eventually led to them slaughtering each other.
@@Fafhrd42 "Sharky" was only used in reference to Sauruman by the half-orcs that followed him to the Shire. There were several different "breeds" of orcs in Mordor and some of them were Saruman's tribute, but mostly they were Mordor Uruks. Animosity was just so common amongst any types of orcs they didn't need different breeds to mix in order to start killing each other. If they didn't have a common enemy to fight they would just get bored and start killing whatever was nearest, even it was each other.
@@colinfun has the right of it here. I'd add that "Uruk" exists in contrast to "snaga" iirc, which essentially means "wimp" and refers to goblins, which are, otherwise, also of the orc species.
An excellent point on how semantics are actually important when talking about pokemon "weaknesses". You could still say grass is "weak" against steel in a layman sort of way, because they deal reduced damage. But like you pointed out, "weak" tends to mean a specific thing in pokemon types.
@@AbsolXGuardian I will need to double check that, I don’t think that’s quite true. Ice is definitely a terrible type defensively because of its lack of resistances, but I don’t think the number of weaknesses outdoes Rock or Grass
Umm actually, the Uruk Hai were originally created in mordor by Sauron, and improved upon by Saruman in Isengard. Sauron focused on quantity while Saruman went for quality. Both groups meet up in the two towers and end up fighting each other, (meat's back on the menu scene in the movie) but both groups are called Uruk Hai, since the term is just black speech for "Orc Folk".
Actually that's not entirely true. It is true that both Mordor's and Isengard's elite Orcs are called Uruks. But the name Uruk-Hai commonly refers to the Isengard Uruks, while the ones from Mordor were commonly referred to as black Uruks. So yes, technically they are all "Uruk-Hai", "Orc-Folk", but the term is mostly used to specifically refer to Saruman's elite Orcs.
I'm very happy Maude got on the board at the end there, I know it would frustrate me to no end to lose that severely but as long as everyone got something right, it feels good!
You guys should make a "Shiny Real Life" question game type. Only use it if the final score has people tied for first place. Can use versions of preexisting shiny questions that use real life skills. Like - just straight up geography. Or matching well known phrases from historical documents to their correct thing/speech. Something where you can just rapid fire real-life questions until one of the last two people get a single question correct. :)
Um, actually the whole statement about Saruman made it seem like he "accidentally" became evil and Isengard was gradually changed. He was actively seeking more power/knowledge and purposefully turned Isengard into the disaster it became.
Yeah there were actually a few things wrong with that statement. I was wondering if it was some kind of new "trick question" were the player was supposed to find all the wrong things. Like unannounced mini Shiny Question.
Umm, actually, Phyrexia did not have a name before it was turned, by Yawgmoth, into its current form; it was an artificaially created, unnamed plane. The only precurser name to a nine-layered phyrexia would be the plane of New Phyrexia, which was an artificial plane called Mirrodin or Argentum before it was corrupted. Also, Mirrodin had three spheres only, which the New Phyrexians subdivided into nine spheres under the machine orthodoxy
To add to this: I believe OG phyrexia was a sub-plane of dominaria not its own plane. Though I could be confusing the creation with the end result being the dominaria clash
@@christopherreichle6670 I don't think it's a sub plane, however similar to New Phyrexia, it was originally an artificial plane devoid of any organic life but there was some artificial mechanical flora left, and without someone to bind themselves to the core of the artificial plane it was destined to collapse. So when the naive Planeswalker whose name i forget took Yawgmoth there, he bound himself to the plane, which is how after thousands of years he was so powerful.
Also, not all sets are part of the same universe and lore. Adventures in the Forgotten Realms does not share the lore. However it's entirely possible this episode was recorded before that release.
Super entertaining group of guests this show 😃. Erika I know of and always excited to see, I'll need to look up stuff with Maude and Carolyn too now as they seem a lot of fun. Thanks as always for realty fun show
In the German dubbed version of the Great Mouse Detective they named the mouse who filled the role of Dr. Watson with a wordplay that sounds similar to Watson. He was called Dr. Wasdenn there, which (If written as "Was denn?") would translate to "So what?"
Um actually, Saruman didn’t willingly accept the influence of Sauron. He “joined” forces with Sauron but actively designed the Uruk-hai and sent them to retrieve the One Ring for his use.
Saruman didn't create the Uruk-hai. Carolyn shouldve gotten points. The Uruks came out of Mordor hundreds of years earlier. Saruman just used them exclusively in his army. The movies suggest he invented them, but the books make it fairly clear he didn't.
@@RomanVonZimmerman you seem like a person that might know, if uruks are improved orcs(wow orcs auto corrected to "or something", weird) why didn't sauron use uruks? Or did he and the movie is lying again?
@@TDrudley it's a bit ambiguous. "Uruk" just means "orc" in their own language. Sauron definitely had created a stronger kind of orc in the lead up to the war, and these are the orcs that primarily took Ithilien and Osgiliath, but it seems Saruman did some additional tinkering.
Um Actually, in 5th edition D&D, Demi Lich are Lich that haven’t continued to feed mortal souls to its phylactery and have lost most of their power and physical form. Demi Lich have a challenge rating of 18, while Lich have a challenge rating of 21.
However, it is worth noting that there is a 5e variant of demilich that reflects the more "classic" demilich from earlier edition. Variant demiliches, such as Acererak, have prepared for their transformation and are in fact more powerful than regular liches. So it depends on the demilich and on the edition.
There's a reason people remember Pikachu with a black-tipped tail: in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games, there's a special alternate form called Cosplay Pikachu that *does* have a black-tipped tail (though they're always female, and so have heart tails). Between the existence of that, and the species' black-tipped ears, it's easy to misremember all of them as having those black tails.
I swear they used that blacked-tipped tail pikachu in an early Um, Actually. They are self-perpetuating the very false image they claim to be only pointing out.
I got the last Q immediately, but also mostly agree with Maude with her distinctions bet. cappuccino, latte, and flat white (which I had pretty much every day when I was in Australia). Glad she finally got her point!
My former therapist is Doug Jones' brother, and I showed him the first shiny question ("We're Not So Different You and I" at 9:25). The look of pride he had while listening to everyone talk about how wonderful Doug Jones is was so heartwarming!
Every time I think of a lich now I just think of my group's homebrew where my rogue (also a friendly dog, it's very Scooby-Doo) became penpals with what was supposed to be a Big Bad lich and now we're in some kind of book club
Um Actually, I thought Saruman only created the Uruk-Hai in the movies? On another note, THANK YOU SO MUCH for talking about the book I Am Legend instead of the movie
Erica impresses me so much. I feel most of the episodes she participates in she wins by a landslide. Still she is so humble and supportive of her opponents, and she has such an amazing and infectious smile!
That Pókemon weakness question was wrong on so many levels. Grass and rock both have 5 weaknesses, not 6. I was sure the mistake in the question was supposed to be that they said rock has 6 weaknesses, but they only listed the 5 (actually right) weaknesses :D
Um actually. Early on in mtg history some of the flavor text directly referenced irl places and things before they started to come up with the wider story. This was seen in the Arabian Nights set fairly prominently.
I actually had action figures of a few of the characters from warriors of virtue growing up and i had no idea what they were from but they were really cool. It blew my mind seeing that kangaroo again
I watched Warriors of Virtue SO MUCH as a child, that it shocks me when I find out how little people know about it. I still think about that movie all the time. 5 as 1, positive kung
he said rock had 6 weaknesses, then listed the 5 weaknesses it had, and nobody noticed lol. It was also a confusing question, because they seemed to switch from weak against to what resists it. But it is true that grass and rock are tied for most weaknesses, which is weird because in my head I was thinking ice was the weakest lol
So, I have hit the bell for all notifications, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to receive them. This only showed up in my feed two days later, pretty on par for other episodes, too.

Um actually, Jeremy Brett is THE Sherlock Holmes. Benedict Cumberbatch is a very popular alternate reality Sherlock.
Now I just want a shared universe of all the mouse animated universes, particularly Disney, but heck, throw in Secret of Nimh and American Tail, you've got...5-6 different universes, including Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, The Rescuers, Great Mouse Detective, probably another one I'm forgetting
Um, actually: There is one Pikachu in the games with a black tail tip in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that is known as Cosplay Pikachu, who has unique moves based on the costumes she wears. Likewise she is also the inspiration for Pikachu Libré from her "Toughness" cosplay, and due to her unique costume mechanic, cannot be transferred from the mainline Pokémon game she originates in.
Not a correction but some additional tangential information regarding demiliches. Demilich is also the name of a Finnish death metal band, widely considered one of the first if not THE first avant garde death metal band.
The actual recipes for espresso drinks: Flat White: Steamed milk with minimal foam Latte: Steamed Milk with decent amount of foam, as finely textured as possible Cappucino: Steamed milk, with lots of foam. Macciato: just a dot of milk foam. (Macciato means marked, as with the dot of foam) Mocha: Latte with chocolate. Americano: Espresso with hot water (So named for soldiers in WWII who wanted the more familiar filter/percolator coffee of home, and so came up with it)
I believe the confusion comes partially from conflating types that resist grass with types grass is weak to. Dragon and Grass do resist grass, but they are not super effective against Grass.
Um, Actually rock only has 5 weaknesses, all of which you had listed in the question itself. Not 6 as the question claimed. Grass is weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying and Bug. It is not weak to Dragon, nor is it weak to itself. The confusion may be due to looking at types that are resistant to grass type attacks, rather than looking at what types deal more damage to grass type Pokémon.
Um, actually the Uruk-hai weren’t invented by Saruman. They were created earlier in the Third Age by Sauron-Saruman just improved on the “formula”, so to speak. :)
29:07 The Pikachu tail thing is a trick of the mind due to the game artwork not including the tip of pikachus tail, while still showing the dark base of the tail, and the black tipped ears. The mind filled in the rest of the image in its eye, and to make it conform to the layout of the rest of his coloring, the minds eye tends to produce a black tipped tail when imagining the missing part of it.
The Flat White things drove me crazy too! I knew the answer was supposed to be the cafe au lait but holy crap the whole thing sent my old barista spidey sense tingling.
Yeah, the cafe au lait is literally coffee with milk, and the milk is either chilled or cool, rarely steamed like in other milk drinks. A flat white uses microfoamed milk, so it is almost entirely milk foam, just with a finer and less defined foam texture compared to that used in milk drinks that you want art on, like a latte or cappuccino. Easily one of my favorite drinks to order when I'm out and about because they're so good and it's easier on the barista to make since they don't need to balance warming the milk and making a foam, you just shove the nozzle in at the right dept and let it run until it is hot enough and you should have the right texture of foam. There's also no real need to discard foam or milk, as it should all be microfoam.
Um Actually between Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Brett was *the* Sherlock Holmes. Also since everyone is exactly like their human counterparts except by name, does that mean that Basil was hooked on heroin?
Apparently you were right that Grass and Rock were tied, but they only have 5 weaknesses each, Pokemon Go went batty in adding Dragon and Steel, though Dragon in the main games is only effective against itself and Fairy is immune to it. Rock is weak to Steel, Fighting, Grass, Water and Ground: Grass is weak to Flying, Bug, Poison, Fire and Ice. And I don't think it changed much for Rock and Grass, the ones that really changed were Dragon, Psychic and Dark and Steel, those 2 added in Gen 2, though we finally got Fairy after 20 years
Um actually, we've retired the word Phylactery. Turns out it's a real item in the Jewish faith and a few organizations have asked if we could please stop using the word that way. I just learned about this last week, myself.
I’m actually, in 5th edition: a Demi-Lich has a CR of 18, and a lich has a CR of 21. So a Lich, while not twice as strong as a Demi lich, is still stronger.
Um Actually: It depends on which version of a Demi-Lich they are using. If they are referring to the standard 5e Demi-Lich you're correct that a Demi-lich is weaker. But if they are referring to the Soul-Gem variant (The ones akin to Acererak) they are on par with Liches, and when said Demi-Lich is in their lair they are in fact stronger (CR 23 For a Soul Gem Demilich in its lair, vs a Lich in its lair which is CR 22)
Um, actually, while the tails of most pikachu are fully yellow, there are instances in the show that have pikachu with black tips on their tail, one notable instance of this is in Pokémon XY episode 41 "Lights! Camera! Pika!", and while these pikachu do have costumes on, the black tip on the tail is not part of the costume.
Um actually, D-mails could only be sent back two weeks into the past. There was a point when they figured out how to send a person's consciousness back in time into their younger body-- there was an episode when the main character had to make this jump over and over again to go back years.
Um Actually, based on the official website Grass type only has 5 "weakness" (2x damage against Grass types) : Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying & Bug. Grass is neutral against itself. Niantic's Pokémon Go doesn't use the same damage multipliers table and can have differences with the main line games. Edit : Not sure which site was the source of this question but after looking deeper for GO it seems the columns used was "Not Very Effective Against" and not "Weak to" which further explain why the types were wrong in the answer.
Um, actually the Istari didn't really have an official "hierarchy" for Sauruman to be the leader of. He was the leader of the White Counsil which was formed by Galadriel and consisted of the Istari and the High-elf leaders. And he put himself forward to take that position out of jealousy when Galadriel nominated Gandalf for the role. The colors of the Istari robes was more of a mark of their tasks in Middle Earth. Gandalf was Grey because it was his lot to wander all of Middle Earth. I don't remember what all the colors meant but it wasn't a ranking system. Unless of course I have been misinformed by the Tolkien scholars on TH-cam.
@@PhilBoswell yes referring to the White Counsil. The Istari (in their capacity as Istari) were "equal" to each other. Look it wasn't a one-to-one "leader and subordinates" situation amongst the Istari is all I was saying. It isn't really discussed or explained in any real way in the LOTR books let alone the films, but it is (supposedly) established in the lore that the Istari didn't have any distinct hierarchy. And also again I am quoting other people who claim to have read all this stuff. Beyond the books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trillogy, I am "TH-cam educated" on the rest of Tolkien. If the Tolkien TH-camrs have it wrong then by extension so do I.
Um, Actually, in Europe and Australia, StarFox on Super Nintendo is called StarWing, where StarFox 64 is Lylat Wars in both regions. It was a copyright issue with a German company named Star Fox if I recall.

@@jb888888888 Why does the question about different types of coffee "matter"? I don't drink coffee. I'm not a barista. That's just as much useless knowledge to me as any of the other questions. Actually, the question about Pokemon types is far more relevant to me because I do competitive Pokemon battles.
Um actually in Uruk-hai we’re not originally bred by Saruman by but rather by Sauron. Tolkien used the term Uruk and Uruk-hai interchangeably and Sauron created the original Uruks in Mordor. Saruman created his own in Isengard much later. It is only in the movie trilogy that they are attributed to Saruman as the sole creator and originator.
Um actually Uruk-hai is black speech where Uruk is Orc (or Ork) and hai is folk so Uruk-hai is Orc-folk, and thus all Orcs are Uruks. Since Melkor created the first orcs by crossing them with unknown dark creatures and corrupting their spirits, it is more correct to say Melkor created the Uruks. On to your point about what Sauron did or didn't do, he did create the larger man-sized Orcs (generally referred to as Black Uruks), that the free peoples started to call Uruks to differentiate between the very noticeable size difference and improved fighting ability these new enemies had. Then Saruman also created an improved version of Orc (which did not come from the Black Uruk stock), that were from crossing them with a rare breed called goblinmen which until then were the only form of Uruk-hai that did not have a weakness to full sunlight (issues before were difficulty to heal/regain stamina).
@@colinfun To be fair, there is also another type of Uruk-hai that was found in Mordor and was almost certainly created by Sauron so it's more like Saruman and Sauron both invented the Uruk-hai but the two Uruk-hai were also different.
@@fick2637 Um, actually, iirc the Uruk-Hai that Sam and Frodo encounter in Mordor were ALSO created by Saruman and had been sent to Mordor as tribute (I believe some mentions were made of "Sharky"). Hence the tension in the ranks between the Mordor Orcs and Uruk-Hai at the Tower of Cirith Ungol that eventually led to them slaughtering each other.
@@Fafhrd42 "Sharky" was only used in reference to Sauruman by the half-orcs that followed him to the Shire. There were several different "breeds" of orcs in Mordor and some of them were Saruman's tribute, but mostly they were Mordor Uruks. Animosity was just so common amongst any types of orcs they didn't need different breeds to mix in order to start killing each other. If they didn't have a common enemy to fight they would just get bored and start killing whatever was nearest, even it was each other.
@@colinfun has the right of it here.
I'd add that "Uruk" exists in contrast to "snaga" iirc, which essentially means "wimp" and refers to goblins, which are, otherwise, also of the orc species.
Happy Friday everyone who loves correcting people! And happy weekend Mantaur!
Um actually, I am pretty sure the list Saltzman was looking at is the list of types that resist grass, not the list of types grass is weak to
An excellent point on how semantics are actually important when talking about pokemon "weaknesses". You could still say grass is "weak" against steel in a layman sort of way, because they deal reduced damage. But like you pointed out, "weak" tends to mean a specific thing in pokemon types.
More specifically, they were looking at niantechs. Pokemon go works a bit differently.
@@FFKonoko And then there's the card game, which I'm not sure they've added many types over the years
And Ice is the type with the most weakness!
@@AbsolXGuardian I will need to double check that, I don’t think that’s quite true. Ice is definitely a terrible type defensively because of its lack of resistances, but I don’t think the number of weaknesses outdoes Rock or Grass
Umm actually, the Uruk Hai were originally created in mordor by Sauron, and improved upon by Saruman in Isengard. Sauron focused on quantity while Saruman went for quality. Both groups meet up in the two towers and end up fighting each other, (meat's back on the menu scene in the movie) but both groups are called Uruk Hai, since the term is just black speech for "Orc Folk".
came here to find this
Actually that's not entirely true. It is true that both Mordor's and Isengard's elite Orcs are called Uruks. But the name Uruk-Hai commonly refers to the Isengard Uruks, while the ones from Mordor were commonly referred to as black Uruks. So yes, technically they are all "Uruk-Hai", "Orc-Folk", but the term is mostly used to specifically refer to Saruman's elite Orcs.
Really enjoyed the episode! I hope that we get to see Maude on there more often in the future! :)
I'm very happy Maude got on the board at the end there, I know it would frustrate me to no end to lose that severely but as long as everyone got something right, it feels good!
I loved, loved, loved this episode. The energy was just perfect.
You guys should make a "Shiny Real Life" question game type. Only use it if the final score has people tied for first place. Can use versions of preexisting shiny questions that use real life skills. Like - just straight up geography. Or matching well known phrases from historical documents to their correct thing/speech.
Something where you can just rapid fire real-life questions until one of the last two people get a single question correct. :)
Demilich is also a dope band
Plus I'm glad to see an Aussie on here.
Um, actually the whole statement about Saruman made it seem like he "accidentally" became evil and Isengard was gradually changed. He was actively seeking more power/knowledge and purposefully turned Isengard into the disaster it became.
Yeah there were actually a few things wrong with that statement. I was wondering if it was some kind of new "trick question" were the player was supposed to find all the wrong things. Like unannounced mini Shiny Question.
Umm, actually, Phyrexia did not have a name before it was turned, by Yawgmoth, into its current form; it was an artificaially created, unnamed plane. The only precurser name to a nine-layered phyrexia would be the plane of New Phyrexia, which was an artificial plane called Mirrodin or Argentum before it was corrupted. Also, Mirrodin had three spheres only, which the New Phyrexians subdivided into nine spheres under the machine orthodoxy
To add to this: I believe OG phyrexia was a sub-plane of dominaria not its own plane. Though I could be confusing the creation with the end result being the dominaria clash
@@christopherreichle6670 I don't think it's a sub plane, however similar to New Phyrexia, it was originally an artificial plane devoid of any organic life but there was some artificial mechanical flora left, and without someone to bind themselves to the core of the artificial plane it was destined to collapse. So when the naive Planeswalker whose name i forget took Yawgmoth there, he bound himself to the plane, which is how after thousands of years he was so powerful.
@@evilgeek87 Venser? Or Urza?
@@1337-Nathaniel Dyfed, Yawgmoth merhed with Phyrexia thousnds of years before Urza was born
Also, not all sets are part of the same universe and lore. Adventures in the Forgotten Realms does not share the lore. However it's entirely possible this episode was recorded before that release.
Super entertaining group of guests this show 😃.
Erika I know of and always excited to see, I'll need to look up stuff with Maude and Carolyn too now as they seem a lot of fun.
Thanks as always for realty fun show
In the German dubbed version of the Great Mouse Detective they named the mouse who filled the role of Dr. Watson with a wordplay that sounds similar to Watson. He was called Dr. Wasdenn there, which (If written as "Was denn?") would translate to "So what?"
I love Erika’s neon bonsai cherry tree and pink neon sign!
Agreed! Honestly everyone's rooms were very stylish in this ep, but Erika's was so aesthetically pleasing. 💗
Um actually, Saruman didn’t willingly accept the influence of Sauron. He “joined” forces with Sauron but actively designed the Uruk-hai and sent them to retrieve the One Ring for his use.
beat me too it but yeah. Saruman’s original goal was to get the ring for himself to beat Sauron and claim his own power.
Saruman didn't create the Uruk-hai. Carolyn shouldve gotten points. The Uruks came out of Mordor hundreds of years earlier. Saruman just used them exclusively in his army. The movies suggest he invented them, but the books make it fairly clear he didn't.
Quote “ensnared”
@@RomanVonZimmerman you seem like a person that might know, if uruks are improved orcs(wow orcs auto corrected to "or something", weird) why didn't sauron use uruks? Or did he and the movie is lying again?
@@TDrudley it's a bit ambiguous. "Uruk" just means "orc" in their own language. Sauron definitely had created a stronger kind of orc in the lead up to the war, and these are the orcs that primarily took Ithilien and Osgiliath, but it seems Saruman did some additional tinkering.
Um Actually, in 5th edition D&D, Demi Lich are Lich that haven’t continued to feed mortal souls to its phylactery and have lost most of their power and physical form. Demi Lich have a challenge rating of 18, while Lich have a challenge rating of 21.
However, it is worth noting that there is a 5e variant of demilich that reflects the more "classic" demilich from earlier edition. Variant demiliches, such as Acererak, have prepared for their transformation and are in fact more powerful than regular liches. So it depends on the demilich and on the edition.
Even the more powerful demiliches only are more powerful than a regualr lich when they are in their lair
This isn't a valid correction as they said in dnd, not in 5th edition dnd.
Um, actually, Jeremy Brett is THE Sherlock Holmes. The best portrayal of the character and the best adaptations the stories ever got.
Factually correct.
There's a reason people remember Pikachu with a black-tipped tail: in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games, there's a special alternate form called Cosplay Pikachu that *does* have a black-tipped tail (though they're always female, and so have heart tails). Between the existence of that, and the species' black-tipped ears, it's easy to misremember all of them as having those black tails.
I swear they used that blacked-tipped tail pikachu in an early Um, Actually. They are self-perpetuating the very false image they claim to be only pointing out.
The mistake about the black-tipped tails was a thing far before ORAS. Lol.
I absolutely love Erika’s “Ishii” light behind her 😍
I got the last Q immediately, but also mostly agree with Maude with her distinctions bet. cappuccino, latte, and flat white (which I had pretty much every day when I was in Australia). Glad she finally got her point!
As an Aussie barista rooting for Maude to get a point on the last question. It couldn't have ayed out better
Erika's brennan breakdown and the great mouse detective chat was great
I was rooting for Maude the whole time, half of the time in. What an ending.
Yes, but that means something _different_ to Maude
My former therapist is Doug Jones' brother, and I showed him the first shiny question ("We're Not So Different You and I" at 9:25). The look of pride he had while listening to everyone talk about how wonderful Doug Jones is was so heartwarming!
Maude fucking GRABBING that flat white point was very satisfying to watch !
Every time I think of a lich now I just think of my group's homebrew where my rogue (also a friendly dog, it's very Scooby-Doo) became penpals with what was supposed to be a Big Bad lich and now we're in some kind of book club
FYEAH MAUDE!! Brute forced the hell out of that coffee answer!
Um, Actually, Rowlf just plays in the Muppet Show orchestra, he's not the conductor. (That would be Nigel.)
Think about how long this mouse was animated, that's insane! Thousands of hand drawn images all with just one hand!
The burning bush was just a "D-Mail" from the future
Um Actually, I thought Saruman only created the Uruk-Hai in the movies?
On another note, THANK YOU SO MUCH for talking about the book I Am Legend instead of the movie
Loving Maude's shirt!
Um actually, the statement reads that rock is weak against six types then proceeds to list five.
Erica impresses me so much. I feel most of the episodes she participates in she wins by a landslide.
Still she is so humble and supportive of her opponents, and she has such an amazing and infectious smile!
"Vampires are a sex thing"
-Erika Ishii, 2022
That Pókemon weakness question was wrong on so many levels. Grass and rock both have 5 weaknesses, not 6. I was sure the mistake in the question was supposed to be that they said rock has 6 weaknesses, but they only listed the 5 (actually right) weaknesses :D
Um actually. Early on in mtg history some of the flavor text directly referenced irl places and things before they started to come up with the wider story. This was seen in the Arabian Nights set fairly prominently.
Finally figured out the kanji behind Erika, it’s Ishii! Very cool!
I can't express how excited I was to get the Pigma question right! Love my Starfox!
I actually had action figures of a few of the characters from warriors of virtue growing up and i had no idea what they were from but they were really cool. It blew my mind seeing that kangaroo again
Wow, the E.T. pic was so deceptive, I was 100% confident it was Nightmare Before Christmas at the first pixelation XD
I watched Warriors of Virtue SO MUCH as a child, that it shocks me when I find out how little people know about it. I still think about that movie all the time. 5 as 1, positive kung
he said rock had 6 weaknesses, then listed the 5 weaknesses it had, and nobody noticed lol. It was also a confusing question, because they seemed to switch from weak against to what resists it. But it is true that grass and rock are tied for most weaknesses, which is weird because in my head I was thinking ice was the weakest lol
Tank Girl!!! Always astounded when it's even mentioned.
She's just the girl... the girl you want!! Pa-pa-pa-POW!!
So, I have hit the bell for all notifications, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to receive them. This only showed up in my feed two days later, pretty on par for other episodes, too.
Um actually, Jeremy Brett is THE Sherlock Holmes. Benedict Cumberbatch is a very popular alternate reality Sherlock.
They should have a all real life episode 🤣
Bonus round question is the only one that is an otherwise normal question.
Umm actually it's an all real life episode not a
Now I just want a shared universe of all the mouse animated universes, particularly Disney, but heck, throw in Secret of Nimh and American Tail, you've got...5-6 different universes, including Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, The Rescuers, Great Mouse Detective, probably another one I'm forgetting
Um, actually:
There is one Pikachu in the games with a black tail tip in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that is known as Cosplay Pikachu, who has unique moves based on the costumes she wears. Likewise she is also the inspiration for Pikachu Libré from her "Toughness" cosplay, and due to her unique costume mechanic, cannot be transferred from the mainline Pokémon game she originates in.
Not a correction but some additional tangential information regarding demiliches. Demilich is also the name of a Finnish death metal band, widely considered one of the first if not THE first avant garde death metal band.
The actual recipes for espresso drinks:
Flat White: Steamed milk with minimal foam
Latte: Steamed Milk with decent amount of foam, as finely textured as possible
Cappucino: Steamed milk, with lots of foam.
Macciato: just a dot of milk foam. (Macciato means marked, as with the dot of foam)
Mocha: Latte with chocolate.
Americano: Espresso with hot water (So named for soldiers in WWII who wanted the more familiar filter/percolator coffee of home, and so came up with it)
So in a Flat White, Latte, Cappuccino, Maccaito and Mocha there's no coffee?
Those are not recipes
@@jb888888888 Calling them espresso drinks means that espresso is automatically included, and the bit with the Americano was just redundancy.
@@DrBrangar Well, in many "teas" there's no actual tea.
Americano: Coffee, but make it weaker.
I believe the confusion comes partially from conflating types that resist grass with types grass is weak to. Dragon and Grass do resist grass, but they are not super effective against Grass.
i love how quickly they knew it was Twitlight when she said "the one with the sad boys"
Um, Actually rock only has 5 weaknesses, all of which you had listed in the question itself. Not 6 as the question claimed. Grass is weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying and Bug. It is not weak to Dragon, nor is it weak to itself. The confusion may be due to looking at types that are resistant to grass type attacks, rather than looking at what types deal more damage to grass type Pokémon.
I think the confusion with the Pokémon question is that they are confusing types that resist grass with types that grass is weak against
Um actually, lylat wars was specifically starfox 64 in both europe and australia. Starwing is the PAL name for the original starfox.
Um, actually the Uruk-hai weren’t invented by Saruman. They were created earlier in the Third Age by Sauron-Saruman just improved on the “formula”, so to speak. :)
29:07 The Pikachu tail thing is a trick of the mind due to the game artwork not including the tip of pikachus tail, while still showing the dark base of the tail, and the black tipped ears. The mind filled in the rest of the image in its eye, and to make it conform to the layout of the rest of his coloring, the minds eye tends to produce a black tipped tail when imagining the missing part of it.
What you really want to watch out for are Demi-Draco-Hydra-Liches, AKA seven pissed off dragon skulls
The Flat White things drove me crazy too! I knew the answer was supposed to be the cafe au lait but holy crap the whole thing sent my old barista spidey sense tingling.
Yeah, the cafe au lait is literally coffee with milk, and the milk is either chilled or cool, rarely steamed like in other milk drinks. A flat white uses microfoamed milk, so it is almost entirely milk foam, just with a finer and less defined foam texture compared to that used in milk drinks that you want art on, like a latte or cappuccino. Easily one of my favorite drinks to order when I'm out and about because they're so good and it's easier on the barista to make since they don't need to balance warming the milk and making a foam, you just shove the nozzle in at the right dept and let it run until it is hot enough and you should have the right texture of foam. There's also no real need to discard foam or milk, as it should all be microfoam.
Um Actually between Basil Rathbone and Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Brett was *the* Sherlock Holmes. Also since everyone is exactly like their human counterparts except by name, does that mean that Basil was hooked on heroin?
Um actually, in Steins Gate rintaro okabe is capable of going back in time as well. Not just messages as the question suggests
Apparently you were right that Grass and Rock were tied, but they only have 5 weaknesses each, Pokemon Go went batty in adding Dragon and Steel, though Dragon in the main games is only effective against itself and Fairy is immune to it. Rock is weak to Steel, Fighting, Grass, Water and Ground: Grass is weak to Flying, Bug, Poison, Fire and Ice. And I don't think it changed much for Rock and Grass, the ones that really changed were Dragon, Psychic and Dark and Steel, those 2 added in Gen 2, though we finally got Fairy after 20 years
"Dweeb in cargo shorts with a peach fuzz mustache" come on, Trapp, you shaved.
Um actually, we've retired the word Phylactery. Turns out it's a real item in the Jewish faith and a few organizations have asked if we could please stop using the word that way. I just learned about this last week, myself.
We need another all stars episodes but with Erika Ishii, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Matt Mercer
I’m actually, in 5th edition: a Demi-Lich has a CR of 18, and a lich has a CR of 21. So a Lich, while not twice as strong as a Demi lich, is still stronger.
Um Actually: It depends on which version of a Demi-Lich they are using. If they are referring to the standard 5e Demi-Lich you're correct that a Demi-lich is weaker. But if they are referring to the Soul-Gem variant (The ones akin to Acererak) they are on par with Liches, and when said Demi-Lich is in their lair they are in fact stronger (CR 23 For a Soul Gem Demilich in its lair, vs a Lich in its lair which is CR 22)
That isn't a valid correction as the statement was dnd, not 5th edition dnd.
Um, actually, while the tails of most pikachu are fully yellow, there are instances in the show that have pikachu with black tips on their tail, one notable instance of this is in Pokémon XY episode 41 "Lights! Camera! Pika!", and while these pikachu do have costumes on, the black tip on the tail is not part of the costume.
That dog bit literally made me laugh out loud at the gym 🤣
Um actually, D-mails could only be sent back two weeks into the past. There was a point when they figured out how to send a person's consciousness back in time into their younger body-- there was an episode when the main character had to make this jump over and over again to go back years.
Um Actually, based on the official website Grass type only has 5 "weakness" (2x damage against Grass types) : Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying & Bug. Grass is neutral against itself.
Niantic's Pokémon Go doesn't use the same damage multipliers table and can have differences with the main line games.
Edit : Not sure which site was the source of this question but after looking deeper for GO it seems the columns used was "Not Very Effective Against" and not "Weak to" which further explain why the types were wrong in the answer.
Also, I didn't realize what Maude's shirt was until right at the end, and I love it.
Um, actually the Istari didn't really have an official "hierarchy" for Sauruman to be the leader of. He was the leader of the White Counsil which was formed by Galadriel and consisted of the Istari and the High-elf leaders. And he put himself forward to take that position out of jealousy when Galadriel nominated Gandalf for the role. The colors of the Istari robes was more of a mark of their tasks in Middle Earth. Gandalf was Grey because it was his lot to wander all of Middle Earth. I don't remember what all the colors meant but it wasn't a ranking system. Unless of course I have been misinformed by the Tolkien scholars on TH-cam.
IIRC Gandalf himself described Saruman as "the leader of my order" but then he was awesomely humble!
@@PhilBoswell That is, I think, only in the films, where Gandalf being an Istari is barely mentioned/explained.
@@PhilBoswell yes referring to the White Counsil. The Istari (in their capacity as Istari) were "equal" to each other. Look it wasn't a one-to-one "leader and subordinates" situation amongst the Istari is all I was saying. It isn't really discussed or explained in any real way in the LOTR books let alone the films, but it is (supposedly) established in the lore that the Istari didn't have any distinct hierarchy. And also again I am quoting other people who claim to have read all this stuff. Beyond the books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trillogy, I am "TH-cam educated" on the rest of Tolkien. If the Tolkien TH-camrs have it wrong then by extension so do I.
Carolyn said "I came to win" in the most friendly manner I've ever heard
I’ve never heard of a demilich referred to as a being that’s removing parts of its body due to not enjoying it, but that is fantastic!
Um, Actually, in Europe and Australia, StarFox on Super Nintendo is called StarWing, where StarFox 64 is Lylat Wars in both regions. It was a copyright issue with a German company named Star Fox if I recall.
Still catching up on the content available for "Um, Actually", but, if it hasn't been done before and is not in my current future, an "Oops" episode where all questions are about life except the final one would be amazing!
Two Fridays in a row..? Yall are spoiling us.
Erika seems like the most fun person ever.
@24:26 She is actually called "Queen Mousetoria" in the official picture storybook of the film. Source: I had it as a kid and I read the shit out of it.
Man not Warriors of Virtue popping up. Loved watching that on VHS at my Dad's growing up cause it was so cheesy but fun.
Thank you for reminding me of "warriors of virtue"!!
Never argue with an Austalian about a flat white :P
