(upbeat music)
- From Shy Guys to Shai-Hulud nerds like
a lot of things but there's something they love
above all else and that is correcting people.
This is Um, Actually.
(upbeat music)
Joining us today we have Erika Ishii.
- Hello everyone
- [Host] Eme Ikwuakor
- Hey.
- [Host] And Becca Scott
- How's it going?
- Um, how's everyone feeling?
- Ready for finger guns.
- Pew pew! - Pew!
- [Host] You're stuck in the cross-fire already.
- I'm like right in the center of all of this
I don't understand.
- This is the issue with like
having folks who have done this show before
who are like, cool I know what's going on
and it's like wait what's happening here?
(laughs)
Different levels of comfort immediately.
- Don't underestimate Eme. - Jump in right away.
- We've got a good vibe and everything.
- Yeah, sometimes it's great.
- Yeah, we sometimes hang out.
- Good, well you have played the game
before, Eme, for you and for any new viewers
at home the rules of the game are simple.
These are incorrect statements about the things
that you know and love, it's up to you
to find the things that's wrong.
Buzz and correct me, all your corrections must
be preceded with the phrase, um, actually,
and you can interrupt me at any time you want.
There's an energy on this couch.
- I've been working out my thumbs non-stop.
- Becca's very competitive.
- Sometimes it's just as-- - I don't know competitive--
- Here's the thing though.
- Tell me the thing.
- So Eme and I are co-captains
of our dodge ball team and I would say he's one of the
few people in the world I might consider
on par with my level of competitiveness.
- [Host] Oh wow.
- She said on par, I'm thinking today...
- That's very good to know going into this.
- I'm just here to have a good time.
(laughing)
- Well good, well with that we're gonna jump right in
and we'll see how good of a time we're gonna have.
Here's our first question,
Billy Dee Williams played District's Attorney
Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's original Batman film.
He was also slated to reprise the role in
Batman Returns but the character was written out
and so he never got to play
Dent's villainous alter-ego, Two-Face.
The next time Two-Face appeared in a movie
was in Batman Forever played by Tommy Lee Jones.
- Um, actually it wasn't played by Billy Wilson
- Um, uh--
- That's a Beach Boy, that's definitely a Beach Boy.
- Um actually, Billy Dee Williams never
actually played Two-Face.
- Uh, incorrect, incorrect.
You're correct in that I did say Billy Dee Williams
that part is right.
- Okay, but none of them were Beach Boys.
- That's true, none of them were Beach Boys.
- [Becca] Thank you.
- But I didn't imply that they were, Erica?
- Um, actually if you count the two-parter
episode from Batman the animated series that was
another appearance of Harvey Dent and Two-Face.
- The question does specify in a movie, so
the animated series would not count there.
I'm gonna say no-one gets this one, oh sure Eme--
- Uh, actually he did have a chance to
play Two-Face at some point in time.
- That's correct.
- That was gonna be my guess.
- So I'll say this he does eventually
play Two-Face but where?
- What?
- I'll give it to you unless someone can tell me where.
- Um, actually he gets to play it in the
Lego Batman movie?
- That's correct!
Oh my god! - Oh, what!
Yes get in there, you beat him!
(laughing)
Nailed it! - Oh my god!
- That was more of a team effort really,
you really were sort of like all the way in there.
but yeah Williams plays
Two-Face in the Lego Batman movie
the appearance of the character was
even based on William's original
Dent performance so a long time coming
but eventually got to play Two-Face
it was just in Lego form, many many years later.
- We crushed it - I don't get any points?
- [Erica] No, it's one point
- I'm gonna give that to Erica.
- But I assisted in her getting it.
- There's no half points. - You did the assist, I know.
- Thank you for the help, it's okay
I'll help you out later on that's
okay, I owe you one.
(laughing)
- Alliances are being formed.
- Oh yeah, things are happening.
Look, sometimes we play fast and loose
with the points, sometimes it falls in your
favor, sometimes it falls in someone else's
we'll see how it goes.
Alright, this next question's about Harry Potter.
We all want to go to Wizarding school
whether it's Beauxbatons in France,
Ilvermorny in the United States,
Uagadou in Uganda, or the famed Hogwarts
in England but did you know that you could also
attend W.A.D.A aka The Wizarding Academy
of the Dramatic Arts to become a theatrical performer
or perhaps hone your quidditch skills at the
Academy of Broom Flying?
- Where is this, is this all like J.K Rowling's
ancillary material you find on the website?
- Oh for sure, oh absolutely.
- Pottermore nonsense. - Pottermore.
- This is Pottermore for sure but,
look that's all canon as far as--
- Nobody, J.K Rowling: there are Wizard vocational schools
- I don't think J.K Rowling gets to decide
what's canon and what's not anymore
'cause this is crazy, one more, one more.
- Yep, we all want to go to Wizarding School,
whether it's Beauxbatons in France,
Ilvermorny in the United States, Uagadou in Uganda,
or the famed Hogwarts in England
- Oh, oh no!
Um, actually Hogwarts is in Scotland!
- That's correct!
(laughing)
- What the heck man, oh my god!
- There's a lot of reaction-- - Take it away, and snap!
- It's a good thing they wiped the floor so clean.
- Aw yeah we snuck it in, Hogwarts is in Scotland,
it's not in England, everything else is true though.
- The Hogwarts Express takes such a long time
of course they leave England.
- It goes through the Highlands, I've been on that train
- I've been on the Hogwarts Express!
- I have, I was on the Hogwarts Express
- So have I, it's in Orlando, Florida.
- God! (laughing)
- That point will go to Erika, Hogwarts is in Scotland.
Here's a question about the Dresden Files
- Yes! - Oh this is Becca
- Which one of you put down, I guess is Becca.
I'm not super familiar with it but we wrote
a question for it. - Thank you.
- So let's see and maybe someone else will
just guess their way to victory and--
- I will be so angry. - I'm stealing this.
- You don't even know the Dresden Files is.
- No.
- [Host] Protagonist Harry Dresden once rescued a litter
of puppies from fire breathing black-winged monkey-demons.
He ended up keeping one of the puppies, naming it Mouse.
Mouse is a Temple Dog believed to be the
offspring of a celestial being and a normal dog,
and the loyal pupper exhibits supernatural
strength, intelligence and healing and he
occasionally glows blue.
- Um actually, Mouse does not glow blue.
- He does, occasionally. - What?
- Oh...
- Um actually, his name is Harry
Blackstone Copperfield Dresden.
(laughs)
- That's doesn't, it is still correct
to say his name is Harry Dresden.
- Um actually, they weren't monkey-demons--
- Don't even, they were though they flame poo.
- All right, all right. - Incendiary poo.
- Oh wait hold on, um actually the monkeys
don't breathe fire they throw flaming poo balls.
- That is correct. (cheering)
- I did actually say that out loud.
- [Host] You did say it out loud you just
never included it as a correction.
It's like you know the answer here you
just aren't, you just haven't connected that
we've said the wrong thing here.
- Oh my god.
- It's like flaming poo, she said it she knows.
This next question is a fan question so
this was submitted by a fan of the show,
wrote their own question, sent it in to us.
Here's a question from Miscbits.
First published in 1995, the board game
Settlers of Catan has players acquire and
spend a variety of resources namely lumber,
sheep, ore, grain and brick.
- Um, actually it's not lumber it's wood.
- Incorrect.
Erika?
- Um actually, it's Catan. (laughing)
- No no. - Oh okay I got this.
- Um actually, it's not brick it's stone?
- Incorrect.
- Um actually, it's not brick it's clay.
- No. (laughing)
I think I'm gonna call it
- One more, one more.
One more, one more. - Hold up.
- Erika buzzed there let's hear--
- Um actually, it's not sheep it's livestock?
- No. - No it's sheep.
- I mean we always call it sheep.
- Unbesheepable.
- Technically speaking it's not sheep, it's wool.
- Everyone just calls it sheep because it's--
- I was like yeah. - Because it makes the noise.
- If you look at any of the literature and
things written down it's written as wool, not sheep.
- Yeah well you know what it's not as funny
to say anyone want wool for--
- No sheep was way more funny!
- [Erika] For wool, that's not funny!
- Also lumber is not as funny as wood.
- Like, herding sheep around and
passing sheep back and forth.
- I have that game on my phone and I play
it all the time and there's always a baa
every single time you pick it up so that's
why I'm thinking it's sheep.
- You know what, let's call it sheep
- It's depicted a sheep, it's drawn as sheep
and I think most people say like sheep
'cause also it's a more fun word and
thing to say but it is in fact written as wool
so it's very technically wool.
Well this brings us to our first
shiny question of the game.
- Thank god!
- Shiny questions, like shiny Pokemon, are
worth the same number of points, they're just
a little bit different and a little bit rarer.
(gentle music)
This is a game called what's wrong with
this picture, the first person to buzz in
and tell me what's wrong with this image will get the point.
Flip it over.
(tense music)
What is wrong with this image?
Yes Becca?
- Um actually, it's a Russian mind game.
- Uh no that is--
- Ooh, is it made in the US?
- Nope, that's not what we're looking for here.
- Okay so look on the bottom left.
- I'm looking. - You see this like U-shaped
piece, that's not a Tetris piece.
- Oh interesting, no, that is original
to the box art but it is interesting that
there are some pieces there that don't look
very Tetrisy.
- Um actually, this spire is from
The Little Mermaid for sure it's the penis spire.
- It's the penis spire. - On the VHS cover, yeah.
- Actually wasn't on the NES?
- Uh no, no incorrect.
- We're really bad at answering all
of your questions today.
- You're all going to hate this so lets go ahead,
let's see what it's supposed to look like.
Oink!
- I hate it, I hate it! - Do it again, do it again.
- Ah, the R's backwards!
- [Host] The R is backwards, it's the Russian
ja symbol instead of an R in the original Tetris.
- That's the true Soviet mind-game.
- It's like Cyrillic or something.
- It's Cyrillic, yeah, they use the Cyrillic symbols.
- Oh great, cool
- Which actually that sound says ja,
it's not an R, that would actually read more
like Tet-jaaa-is, but to give it more
of a Soviet flair, more of a Russian flair they
used what looks to us like a backwards R.
Not the forward. - It's 'cause I first played
it on Game Boy and--
- Yeah that's one of my thoughts--
- In later editions they do spell it out
but this is how they depict the game Tetris.
- Well Tengen can go Tet-yes
(laughing)
- Well sorry to say no one got that one--
- I'm proud just to be here. - Same here.
- I'm glad I know what a ja is now.
(laughing) - Learning something today.
- That's it for this preview of Um, Actually
but wait, there's more, in fact, a whole
66% of this episode.
To watch it go to dropout.tv
and start your free trial today.
And since we're all about being correct here I should
point out that it's not actually 66% it's
66.6666666666666666666666666666.
This is a game called fictionary so what I'm gonna
do is give you the name of a monster from folklore
or mythology or somewhere and it'll be up to you
to draw it to the best of your ability.
I won't be judging the drawing on how good it is,
I'll just be looking for a couple of key features
that will define the monsters.
- You will laugh at how bad when you see how I draw.
