Um, Actually

2 years ago

from the critic to riddick nerds like a lot of things but there's something they love above all else and that is correcting people this is um actually [Music] joining us on this episode we have jay parsons hello tj gonzalez hello at home and jess clemens hi hello and this is a very special all college humor slash dropout uh episode of um actually you all work here yeah on this show specifically yes it feels like you have a weird amount of power uh from from doing the effects on this show that yo
u can just like you can just give yourself like a little halo and just like be wearing it point here and hope it ends up in post yeah i'll think about this there's like fire coming out of your hands don't give me work to do lately yeah no we're keeping it work well that being said jess you've played before um shea and tj you have not um but you know how this works the rules are simple these are a stack of incorrect statements about the things you know and love it's up to you to correct me all yo
ur corrections must be proceeded with the phrase um actually if you don't i won't give you the point and you can interrupt me at any point okay here we go our first question yeah in the mario brothers universe yoshi refers to both a species of long-tongued dinosaur and the full name of the specific character yoshi both the character and the species first appeared in super mario world as a sidekick but yoshi himself would go on to star as a main character in many games like yoshi's cookie yoshi's
island yoshi's story yoshi's safari and yoshi's woolly world shay um actually there's no such thing as yoshi's cookie uh yoshi's cookie exists he does okay thank god you said that cause i gotta go buy yoshi's cookie right now i need to know more about uh dj um actually he was not introduced in super mario world he is um actually there's no yoshi safari there is a yoshi what the fudge gotta get on these yoshi guys i know i'm messing up wait we keep guessing yeah um actually yoshi's just the name
not the species uh no that's incorrect um you were starting to get closer to it yoshi has a fuller longer name than just yoshi yoshi's full name is t yoshisor munchikoopa i hate this why would you abbreviate such an amazing name exactly good for munching the koopas i love it well here's a star trek question if you're going to negotiate a business deal with a ferengi you'll need all the help you can get familiarizing yourself with the 250-plus precepts of their sacred texts the rules of acquisit
ion is a good place to start but you may also need to use a little old-fashioned umox the ferengi term for deception jess um actually it's not the term for deception uh that's correct uh that is and and more more specific that's not what oomoks is do you know what um can you please tell me unless you guys want to i will give you the point unless someone can tell me what um i go ahead bro yeah um actually umax means persuasion uh incorrect i was going to punch you in the throat i was like oh this
is going to get violent it sounded right um actually umox is just killing the other person and taking it uh no no that feels like more of a klingon thing um uh umocs uh jess we'll give you this point um uh umacs is a kind of uh sexual gratification achieved by rubbing ferengi earlobes um and it and it is often used in negotiations and business tactics there are uh scenes in star wars and things of just like of of frankie having their ears rubbed and uh even other like characters um uh like offe
ring to to rub their ears or trying to get what they want by like rubbing their ears it's gross and creepy i want to see it it's wild that this is like this is just like happening in full like it's a full public on the starships just like it's like don't do that in another room don't you sit here getting all umocs out here like i understand that like your sexual gratification is going to be different from a human's but also if it's like if there was some alien that was like just so you know when
i when i touch my shoulders it feels incredible and then like later they were just sort of like i'd be like that's not weird for me but that's weird for you you need to get do that somewhere else it's just a star trek like subway masturbator yeah completely and they're also like is it weird like is it strange that if you're like if you're part of the crew like because there are characters who will sometimes just sort of be like it's like trying to get something and it'll be like it's like all r
ight well it's like like i'll get what they'll they'll they'll do it and it's like again not sexual for us as humans but it's like you know he's getting off on this this is weird you could completely get an std in your ear like an ear infection yeah is that what it is you have to get tubes in your ear for air chlamydia yeah i don't like this how do ferengi treat q-tips you know is that is that like it's like oh sorry i didn't even know that was out here it was like a don't look like a sex toy th
at they're like oh sorry i'm supposed to leave that under the bed um well uh that point goes to jess for at least identifying that umox is not deception it's something very different i'm gonna try you'll learn about that when you're older here's a comics question in the wicked and the divine series a recurrence happens roughly every 90 years an event where 12 gods incarnate as influential humans the most recent recurrence features gods incarnating as pop stars including amaterasu shinto goddess
of the sun and universe baphomet the mesopotamian god of the sun death and destruction and lucifer the fallen angel from christianity yes shea baphomet is not the god that you just described oh you didn't say him actually damn in front of him well there's your point what is your point tj what is your correction oh [ __ ] um [Music] [Laughter] i'm gonna say word for word what he said um actually baphomet isn't what you described crazy but hey look that's the rules of the game so baphomet isn't ac
tually one of the gods in the recurrence the character claims to be baphomet um but is not actually uh he's revealed to be nurgle and just went by baphomet because that was cooler um nergal was the mesopotamian god of the sun uh death and destruction i did not understand a word of the question that'll happen sometimes um well we will move on to our next statement here which is a fan question this was written in by a fan and this comes to us from ben spector thanks ben this is about discworld the
discworld series the knack mac feagle are six inch tall beings with red hair and dyed blue skin they have a serious knack for fighting can innately travel across dimensions and often carry swords that glow blue in the presence of wizards yes actually they do not carry stores that carry disks no incorrect it's a disc world and they're all carrying discs uh shea um actually the hair and skin colors are flipped uh no um actually it doesn't glow blue in the presence of wizards it glows yellow that
is incorrect but you found the thing that's wrong which is that uh their swords do not glow blue in the presence of wizards but it's not the color that's at issue here i have i don't know i don't know discord was a thing yeah the swords glow blue in the presence of lawyers which maybe you are close with the evil um um but no it is the presence of lawyers uh that is uh a great danger this girl is is a is a you know comedic uh fantasy series uh so you know you might comment a little bit about uh t
he greatest evil in the world lawyers okay cool thanks ben i'm sorry and this will bring us to our first shiny question shiny questions like shiny pokemon just a little bit different a little bit rarer same number of points this is a game we're calling tic-tac-tech [Music] so on the other side of your card there are a number of things around perks in fallout the video game fallout one of them is fake something that we just made up first person who can identify the fake one will get the point go
ahead and flip those over these are oh fallout 4 [ __ ] perks [ __ ] which one of these is fake oh god i'm sweating i'm so mad i know what two of these yes shay actually this one with the dog is fake that's correct this is a uh tonic from bioshock that was a perk that we called boozehound but it doesn't exist uh the other ones here are action girl rooted adamantium skeleton life giver and nerd rage how do they get away with calling it adamantium skeleton isn't that a marvel thing it is um and th
at's a good question uh it's a question for maybe a legal team of some kind uh to sort out how another property would be able to make uh frequent use of um of the properties of from that someone else might own um uh particularly for comedic effect um who's to say really who is to say [Laughter] it's true we make mistakes here are some of our favorite corrections from you the viewers from at bridge eric trap said that the origin of the hogfather was a king throwing sausages at three old ladies wh
ile that may have been one of the three legends it wasn't the first the first was the selection of a king with a bean that will be one point for you bridge eric marry hogswatch at kt super one says i'm actually in the santa claus three the escape clause mrs claus isn't written out of the movie in fact she is the one sharing the whole story of the movie to a young class of elves i'll give you one point for knowing things about santa claus 3 the escape claws because no one else will from the dropo
ut discord herder of nerf says um actually human luna also appears briefly in sailor moon crystals season 1 episode 14 about 7 minutes in and it has nothing to do with her loving a human man i am sorry for leaving out the reboot of sailor moon that point will go to you you scruffy little nerf herder we will move on to our next statement here this is about south park high school freshman scott tenerman once sold carbon a bag of pubic hair for ten dollars in a humiliating stunt after being embarra
ssed several more times by tenerman cartman took revenge by feeding scott a bowl of chili made of his dead parents insult is added to injury when scott's favorite band primus who played themselves shows up and calls him a crybaby yes and actually his favorite brand is radiohead that's correct uh band is radiohead and uh they did actually voice themselves which is a bit of a rarity in south park where usually it's just uh you know as as the disclaimer states poor poor impressions of celebrities u
m but yeah one of the few instances where where um uh the voice voice themselves it's a great episode that's a great episode it ends on like the darkest spot like there's not even like a glimpse of like hey and everything's okay it's just like this is oh you have no idea like knowing it's coming because carmen's doing the silliest stuff throughout the whole episode trying to train a horse to do something phallic and and failing like the whole miserable yeah that was a good one you called it like
he wouldn't even finish and you were like i got it that was good primus sings the theme song to south park uh which is the other place where where where primus comes in i did not know that yeah i did not know what oh gosh okay news to me man there you go this is your little fun fact radiohead voice themselves primus sings the theme song oh my god i'm learning and our next question is a special video guest question hi i'm john darnell from the mountain goats my song enoch 18 and 14 may take its
title from a verse in the king james bible but it actually comes the chorus of it comes from a line spoken by a different king king valentine in the playstation 2 game odin sphere oh my god i feel awful i don't know this this is literally my favorite man um actually it's not enoch 1814 it's 14-18 no it's not it's not shay oh oh my god oh my goodness i'm sorry i'm so sorry tj um actually odin sphere's an xbox game not not exclusively at least you can't play for the playstation 2. i don't think it
came from king valentine uh you didn't say him actually but also oh i didn't i [ __ ] didn't let's play the answer here um actually the book of enoch is not in the king james bible it's apocryphal it's apocryphal that means it's not in the king james it's one that comes from a different tradition that's right this is bible trivia masquerading as both music and video game trivia and there is nothing you can do about it oh my god but the rest is true the chorus of that song is taken from a line s
poken by king valentine in the game odin sphere that sounds about right there there goes you don't uh you don't need to feel bad this wasn't about his music at all this was really just bible trivia yeah that uh that we still was just like studying the library that he had behind him i want to know all you might be feeling that it's hot summer heat but there's one way to make at least one part of your body a little less disgusting i am of course as always talking about your butt say goodbye swamp

you the point unless someone else can tell me what her signature move is i'm actually her signature move is the ass kicker incorrect [ __ ] tj you want to guess you just went past i'll just pass this pass that point will go to shay her signature move is the beck sploder um uh so you you might have been able to guess it i was definitely gonna get you could have i don't know the exploder what is that is that just her like whipping i just imagine her like breaking your spine like she's it's got to
be this way yeah she uh she shoves dynamite in your mouth and lights it and it's like a cartoon you just straight up explodes she's the one who beat the hell out of uh ronda rousey yeah i love her already do you think that she is the coolest graduate of her clown college hmm hard to say uh well that point will go to shae we'll move on to our second shiny question here this is a game called hear me roar we're gonna play some sound effects for you and ask you to identify them these are all gonna
be around a specific theme in this case these are all cartoon pet sounds so these are all pets in cartoons we're gonna play you the sound that that pet makes it'll be up to you to identify whoever can identify the most will get the point let's play that first sound uh shay do you know that's dinosaur let's play that second sound oh boy this is what you get when you hire someone who used to rent his brain out to model for raisins uh tj is that garfield that's garfield just cause they talk doesn't
mean they're not pets that's garfield oh my god you got it it's so funny let's play the third the third pet sound donald duck's not a pet right donald duck is not abnormal no he's certainly autonomous garfield oh my god garfield has an owner he's a named owner more of a waiter i feel like it's that duck from the looney tunes it's like it's the tiny one that's like in the like puddle and it's always crying when it gets like a oh my god i can't i can't get tiny tunes not tiny toons [ __ ] not tin
y toons [ __ ] not tiny toons damn it does anyone want to venture a guess oh my i can't think of a name for it what is it uh this it's not even a duck surprisingly this is snoopy what yep that's a snoopy sound he does sound like he's crying he's crying when he's laughing at something that'll happen he's got this really like creaky uh uh quacky kind of voice i hate that that is him though yeah i get that that was a good one yep it's tricky it's tricky for sure let's play that fourth pet sound [Mu
sic] uh all right you each have one identified let's play that next sound courage that is courage there's courage though the things i do for love uh and we have one more sound to play let's play that daddy's hurting daddy hurts no daddy what the [ __ ] what is that dark what what i don't even want to listen to it again no one does it's very sad daddy's hurting i know that he hurts no dad i don't like this i don't like this the hills have eyes i don't know i don't know i don't know daddy hurts da
ddy's hurt he hurts daddy we'll go ahead and call that because i can't bear to listen to that again um so that is that is from a very disturbing scene uh from fullmetal alchemist oh it's the camaro it's the chimera yes um uh we kind of threw it in here just because everything else here was just like fun pets so then it's just like one deeply disturbing scene just like we're monsters here we're gonna put this in um truly all of our viewers are gonna hate this and that's why we did it uh that was
one identified by shea uh won by tj and two by jess that means the point will go to jess for those pet sounds i made a couple of mistakes there if you notice something that i got wrong you can correct me just tweet at um actually show or go to the exclusive dropout discord and correct me there we like what you have to say we might even feature it on a future episode [Music] this next one is a pokemon question every pokemon game gives you the option to choose one of three starter pokemon though t
hese starter pokemon are yes um actually pokemon yellow makes you take pikachu that's correct davey pokemon let's go eevee and pikachu also do not allow you to choose from the from the three pokemon i guess that's true i suppose that's true if we want to count uh yeah i guess i guess those count is like canonical the full-on full-on pokemon games yeah oh they're game freaks game first i love them pikachu was origin was planned at some point have a third evolution called gorochu but it never happ
ened at least not yet um so maybe maybe someday we'll get that third that third stage of evolution yeah oh we definitely demanded it fourth they threw and pichu they threw a little pre-evolution oh yeah that's true yeah it's weird how like that how pikachu sort of became the mascot of of pokemon considering it is just like it it seems just as random as like anything else and like i don't know you can maybe make the argument that they're like cuter pokemon maybe oh totally yeah big time who's a c
uter pokemon like evie is like inherently adorable and like looks like the most domestic what were your starters oh i think squirtle squirtle because the squirtle gang was [ __ ] cool though in the in the show when they showed up with their sunglasses and they were just like like i was like ooh i want to be one of them squirrel squad forever squirrel squad was so cool well bulbasaur is very cool too he is i also started with squirtle so we got just a bunch of squirtles over here yeah squirtle sq
uash well great um our next question is about it's about magic the gathering in magic the gathering artifacts are types of permanent cards that represent magical items constructs equipment and objects some famous examples of artifacts include winter orb black vice and howling mine they're also artifact creatures like wall of stone masticore and dark steel colossus yes tj um actually howling mind is not an artifact it is um that's what i was gonna say um actually hmm aren't permanents uh they are
they are yeah they they remain in play after you've played them um um actually wall of stone is not a creature incorrect uh i will call it but god you were getting so jess i was this close to giving you a blonde cookie i'm gonna call here uh just wall of stone is a creature but it is not an artifact creature and in fact most walls are not artifact creatures most walls are just straight-up creatures uh which is weird as hell because like to qualify like all these uh all these walls as uh as crea
tures when they feel like the least creaturey things around with the exception of some like biological walls um but yeah my magic knowledge is very limited i want to play it so bad i played very heavily through late middle school and then i had to stop when it was like money was involved and it was like i was responsible for buying my cards and i was like i i can't afford this game yeah i just let my friends build the decks and they'll play them they can spend all their money that they want yeah
i'll come over and use their cars yeah exactly i was that kid that hung onto yu-gi-oh as long as i could and i was like when people like switched over to magic i was like no who's gonna play with me that's so funny uh so like you're in your you you had like a cohort of starting with yu-gi-oh and then like everyone like sort of moved over to like different games yeah oh oh absolutely that's it i was holding on i was also that person that was like the last person on myspace i refused to switch to
facebook they didn't let you have music and i hated it when i was growing up magic carts totally became like uh kid chow for like for for my brother and i where it was just like my dad at some point just bought like a whole like box of like booster packs for like one uh thing that just come out and then every time it was like you did something good it's like okay here's a booster pack like it became this sort of like instance of like positive reinforcement i would have stabbed my dad into sleep
if i knew that there was like like a hundred dollars worth of playing collectible cards why are you hiding this from me you father you have betrayed me you have lied to me with a lie of omission i was your kin [Laughter] my my buddy and i we used to always go we'd like do the dishes we'd mow the lawn it was like anything and everything be like please mom is like a chore we can do for five dollars so we can walk to books a million and get a pack of cards so she's like no leave me alone stop aski
ng well no points for that one and we'll move on to our last shiny question here this is a game called needs more pixels [Music] so what we've done is we've taken an iconic uh shot from a uh from a tv show or movie um this isn't just like a random frame this is something that is like it's like oh i know that you know for sure and we've applied about five levels of pixelation onto it um we're going to start by showing you the absolute most pixelated version of this image um for this shiny questio
n you'll only get one guess so you can either choose to guess in when it's really pixelated or if everyone wants to pass we can move on to the next level of clarity which will maybe make it easier for you to guess but also make it easier for your competitors to guess but once again you only get one guess so you gotta make it count here's our very pixelated image um once again you can either uh you can either say like oh shea's buzzing in is this star wars revenge of the sith it is not it is not
shay has used uh his guess so if someone else gets it wrong uh you will have to be you'll have to guess it on the next level of clarity uh so you can't just write it all the way to the end uh if if uh either jess or tj end up voting so uh dj would you like to guess or pass i'm gonna guess you're gonna guess i just i just buzzed to pass no uh is this from anyone jones uh it's not from indiana jones totally looks like them tied up about to uh get everyone get melted now shea and tj have used their
guesses so they've kind of screwed you over so jess you're free to go up one level of clarity if you want but you have to get it at that one take it up a level [ __ ] it up a notch oh okay make it harder okay what the [ __ ] um am i allowed to curse on this show yeah it's dropout oh [ __ ] yeah tj is this star trek the original series it is not um we'll we'll go ahead and we'll we'll bring it up one level of pixelation just see if anyone can get it the [ __ ] is this i like this game i love thi
s terminator it is terminator it's the thumbs up [Applause] wow good job i'm actually that's t2 yeah wrong it's not uh but that is the terminator or at least a terminator well this brings us to our last question of the game which as always concerns real life skills nearly all fish and shellfish contain trace amounts of mercury having seafood a couple times a week is generally considered safe and most people won't need to worry about their intake but if you regularly consume large amounts of seaf
ood are pregnant or nursing or are a young child then it might be wise to avoid high mercury level seafood like swordfish yes um actually there are not trace amounts of mercury in all shellfish and fish that is close enough i mean especially not fresh water uh there there are trace amounts uh but uh is your specifically your shell shellfish are considered low uh are considered low mercury um there is uh uh there are still trace amounts in just about anything just from from pollution runoff and s
tuff but uh uh shellfish and uh i would have gone on to provide uh examples but oysters specifically are generally considered low mercury a general sort of rule of thumb like the higher up the food chain uh it is the more mercury it has so predator like predatory fish like tuna and swordfish tend to have a lot and then lower down the food chain oysters and things that are uh that are lower down the food chain will have less mercury in it um shea and just tied for our win here [Laughter] i want t
o win this look it's like soccer guys the ties are fine don't freak out oh my god they're gonna come at you in the comments people hate ties but you know what it's okay everything's gonna be all right uh so uh shay and jess congratulations thank you to all of you for playing uh with us uh today and thank you for watching you can join us next time for even more pedantic corrections here on um actually [Music]
