UM ACTUALLY Booker T is not only NOT the most decorated world champion in WCW, Ric Flair also holds 6 WCW World championship titles, but also Ron Simmons is the first African American World heavyweight Champion defeating Vader in 1992 to win the title. Oof. I think that's worth 2 points no?
That "Luke uh... finds a way" joke was fucking GOLD and it went underappreciated in the moment so I want you to know, Mike, that was fucking brilliant!
As one of those individuals who’s middle name is my dads name, I can confirm it’s to immortalize him, and I’m definitely gonna immortalize my name in my son’s middle name.
Funny thing is: the elves of Middle Earth might still see the Earth as being flat. When Arda was made round, the elves still maintained the ability to reach Aman by the "Straight Road" which nobody else could because of the curvature of the planet. This would also explain Legolas's insane vision when he can clearly discern people who are leagues away. And I guess that would mean elves and round planets can't coexist.
That's more cannon, it used to be flat, and still is for the elves, but is round for all the other races. The irony in Trapp saying "it can have elves and not be flat" was as far from truth in that setting.
@@gerbendekker3273 It is the prevailing theory on why A: Only elves can reach Valinor and B: Elves vision goes far past what is actually possible due to curvature of the earth. Legolas can see for much, much, further than Aragorn and Gimli because (so says the theory) Arda is not round to him. It would be VERY far from the strangest thing in Tolkien canon if it is true to be entirely fair.
Mike just about stopping himself from saying fucking after the picture guess, and then proceding to saying it anyway because the situation deserved it. That was just great.
There were two things wrong with the Booker T question. Not only was he a six time world champion, he also wasn’t the first African American world champion. That honor goes to Ron Simmons
Blew my mind. I watched that question several times because it was so amazing and everyone's reaction was great. He wasn't even unsure in any way. 100% confident.
Um Actually, the metals in Mistborn do not "fuel" the powers, they act as a "key" to accessing Preservation's power from the Spiritual Realm. The type of metal is keyed to a specific effect but the power itself comes from Preservation.
Dude...when Luke said he read other Sanderson books and "...it was probably some other bullshit like that..." in my head I was like: "The question is clearly referencing allomancy, and besides, feruchemy and hemalurgy are clearly explained in the series! And if you care to (not necessary for any enjoyment or understanding of any particular story or series by Sanderson, but only if you CARE to), you can read his other series, books, and stories and get a deeper understanding of the powers at play across the entire Cosmere. It's a literary shared universe on par with comic books with cohesive, understandable rules and no continuity resets! ..." ...I have become the aforementioned 'Um Actually...' nerd...
I want to congratulate Luke for getting an extra point that technically shouldn't exist. Sure, a lot of questions were missed, but it was still a bonus point in the question.
Um actually Mistings can't "chose" which metal they want to burn, as Trapp explained Mistings can only burn one specific metal but the choice which metal they can burn is inherently decided at birth.
I think this is the correction they were going for, saying that only Mistborns can choose which metal to burn. Although I agree the wordings were a little weird.
“Umm actually” Furthermore they do not get the power from the metal, but in the ares arcanum it is relieved that they are simply use the metal as a catalyst or gateway to allow energy from the spiritual realm to seep through, the way it manifests is based on the type of gate, or in this case metal,
@@devinmann3034 yeah, it feels like they intended for that to be the part that would be corrected but because no one pointed it out specifically and Mike didn't go back to the original wording in explaining what was wrong it is left unclear.
Um, actually there are 2 other problems with the Mistborn question. First of all, aluminum is not an enhancement metal, quite the opposite as it takes away an allomancer's metals. Its alloy, duralumin, is an enhancement metal. Secondly, allomancers do not draw power from metals, they draw their power from Preservation, one of the gods of the Mistborn setting. The metals themselves are simply a catalyst for allomancy.
Um actually Aluminium while it is an "enhancement" metal it is a pulling internal metal while duralumin is an internal PUSHING metal and Chromium acts like Aluminium as an external pulling metal wiping another allomancers metal reserves
The investiture originally came from both Preservation and Ruin but it was put into the metals at the beginning of the world and by burning that metal mistings and mistborn can access that investiture, so they get the investiture from the metals. Aluminum is considered to be the internal enhancement metal by the scientists in mistborn.
@@Dubs22005 no i'm gonna call you a weird ass dweeb for gettin mad at a fictional scenario you made up in your head completely unrelated to the episode lmaoooo
we did; but um actually they got what aluminum does wrong, as aluminum is allomantically inert which would not classify as an enhancement metal... I would like one point please
@@josh-cz3ey um actually aluminium is not alomantically inert. It resists most investiture based powers, but when burnt by a mistborn it renders the alomancer's other metals inert.
@@mcdcurtis The Ars Arcanum at the end of the books lists aluminum and duralumin as enhancement metals, but given that’s an in-world resource and due to the weird properties of aluminum as well as the inconsistent symmetries it creates in the allomantic, feruchemical, and hemalurgic tables, I strongly suspect that the current canon is actually an in-world misunderstanding
Umm Actually, in mistborn burning a metal is not the same as digesting the metal, It is an entirely different process. When an allomancer burns a metal they can control the rate at which it burns, which you cannot do with digestion. Furthermore, they repeatedly say that allomancers should burn off all of their unused metals before sleeping as many of them have toxic properties if digested. This implies burning a metal prevents it from being processed by the body.
Um, actually, according to the author recently, allomancers are actually immune to being poisoned by these metals and that's just an in universe misconception.
Padme was known as "Queen Amidala" but her full name is actually Padme Amidala Naberrie. Her last name is never spoken in any of the movies, but it's still canon just as much as Leia's middle name is. Leia having the same middle name as her mother isn't weird though. That happens in real life sometimes.
Um actually Amidala is Padme's regnal name while Naberrie is her birth surname. All candidates for monarch run under assumed names so that no one can tell which (pressumably aristocratic) family they come from. That's also why Padme can go by her first name while pretending to be a handmaiden. Queen Amidala is the only name known to the public. However after her term ended, Padme chose to go by the name Padme Amidala in the senate, with Padme Amidala Naberrie as her rarely used full name. It's unclear what her legal name is. This is at least the case in the new eu. Also I don't know what Legends story gives Amidala as Leia's middle name, but it could actually be a double barreled surname, as automatically occurs in Naboo culture. So Padme naming Leia right before she dies would have conferred a surname in Naboo's custom.
When Luke guessed Jurassic park, and Mike gasps in astonishment, I love that you can tell he almost inItaly says “that’s *fucking* correct!!!!” He later says something to that effect but I did love the barely restrained shock haha
Um Actually I would posit that The Never Ending Story also takes place in our world since the boy is reading the book. Therefore only half the story takes place on a flat world...
Um actually, I would argue that more specifically Tom Riddle went to Slughorn to ask what would happen if he were to create multiple horcruxes, since even among wizards who had created horcruxes, creating more than one was unheard of.
Hogwarts keeps books on forbidden topics because you do need to know these things in order to find and destroy horcruxes, so they're used in advanced Defence Against The Dark Arts courses.
Um actually, the Mountie was portrayed by Jaques Rougeau, a French Canadian wrestler famous for his time as one half of the Fabulous Rougeaus and as one half of the Quebecers. William Regal competed under his real name, Hellraiser, Roy Regal and Steve Jones before becoming Steven Regal in WCW
About Voldemort, the book was in the restricted section! Not point worthy as it was just conversation. And he totally pushed Slughorn to expand his knowledge.
Um Actually, in the Harry Potter question you said that the act of taking a life is what lets the wizard hide a fragment of their soul, the author has not actually specified what goes into making a Horcrux, and while taking a life is probably involved we have no way to know for certain. The only Horcrux which we do know how it was made is a bit of an outlier because the 'death' that turned Harry into a Horcrux was that of Voldemort Himself.
Also, we do know that it involves more than just taking a life because the author said she wrote down the process for her editor and he threw up, so it wasn't fit for a children's book. So we do know that whatever the process, it is more complicated and much more horrible than just taking a life.
Um actually, faraday cages have nothing to do with the concept of being grounded, you are safe inside a faraday cage because the current gets conducted around the outside of the enclosed space so that none passes through the inside.
Yes, but the part of the answer that was wrong was that the tires act as a ground, whether a faraday cage does or not is a wholly separate issue to any claim being made.
@@teelo12000 Um actually, while it is true that rubber is an insulator when it comes ot lower voltges, it's not when it comes to the millions of volts in a lightning strike. Rubber will in this case conduct electricity reasonably well.
@@sternis1 Agreed. If the current has enough power to jump through the sky (which is typically a pretty good insulator) it's not going to have any trouble jumping the last few inches from the car to the ground through or around tires. The tires may be unintentionally serving as a ground.
21:21 You call that "crazy Russian nesting doll", but actually there are many real life species which are born pregnant, the phenomenon is called "telescoping generations".
Female humans start making eggs at 9 weeks. After conception! Not too great a leap for an asexual species to just go ahead and start growing those puppies right away.
Um actually, on the star wars question you could consider the time Lea said that she always knew deep down that Luke was her brother as her having used the force inadvertently, so the events stated in the question aren't the only times she displayed use of the force
Another pedantic correction: the car tires would insulate, not ground, the car. The act of grounding a circuit literally means connecting it to the ground.
More pedantry. Grounding is not connecting it to the physical ground. It is connecting the circuit to a reservoir of infinite charge carriers. This can be the ground but it could also just be an object that has access to sufficiently more charge carriers than the circuit.
@@gudmundur-heimisson I would assume it still has more resistance than if the frame was sitting on the ground. Tbh given how close a car does sit to the ground, I would guess the current would tend to just jump from the underside of the body to the ground if a strike hit it.
@@jerodast yeah that might well be the case. In any event I think we can agree that in this specific context the car can be considered as effectively grounded at the voltages that are in play whether the current goes through the tires or not.
Umm actually, The Mountie wasn't Steven/ William Regal, it was Jacques Rougeau, who was previously one half of The Quebecers, with Pierre Ouellet, who is now known as PCO.
I'm 4 months late to this video, but I've been watching the entire series over the last week or two, and I can confidently say that (at least up to this point) "Luke finds a way" is the funniest thing Trapp has said on this show, and maybe that anyone has said on any show, and the fact that it got no reaction in the room is a crime of either comedy or editing.
I got that it was a pun on "life finds a way," but it totally went over my head that that phrase is FROM Jurassic Park. So yeah, it was even funnier because of that context.
I love rewatching these old episodes cause you'll hear them adamantly exclaim something, like "There's no way they'll beat Dungeons&Dragons!" and just go "well.....".
9:52 - I like that you can tell Danielle’s board is arranged differently and yet the editors did such a great job masking that she clearly said them in a different order than the order on our screen. The only place I can hear the edits is right before she says FIO there is some background noise that gets cut with her umm
I am 95% certain this is a re-upload. I have been driven nuts by that girl's purse by the couch before. ETA: Yes, this is a re-upload. recognized the shiny question. I want a new one so bad.
Of course it's a reupload. It's been edited so that it now contains the remaining 16 minutes of the episode that were previously only watchable in Dropout. Has been the same thing for each and every video since this channel was created (or more like repurposed, IIRC). New episodes (if they'd get back to making proper studio episodes) would first go to Dropout.
Um, actually: The Expanse was based on a homebrew table top game that I believe they actually had a group of people play and inspire part of the storylines. So while it isn't an officially produced game, it was technically a table top game first.
I own the Green Ronin "The Expanse Roleplaying Game" book (ISBN: 978-1-934547-97-7). It's built on the AGE system. It is copyrighted for 2019. I thought that this is what the statement was going for. As for the tabletop game that launched the story, I believe it was based a Travellers game (not sure which).
@@Langwidere903 I think the most heavily traded bit of that lore is how the player for Shed, the medic from the early episodes, had to drop out of the game, which led to some of the uh, plot developments around his character. No idea if that's the exact reality though :)
For the record, Niv-Mizzet, while a much younger dragon than some of the elders, is also substantially older than at least five of them (the dragonlords Atarka, Kolaghan, Silumgar, Dromoka, and Ojutai). And he does in fact have five digits, though since he is a big old lizard, it's unclear how he is able to use equipment built for his much smaller employees.
I get the feeling Luke was not aware there are some later-printed dragons that are canonically elder dragons, beyond the first 5. And of course Ugin was retconned to be Nicol Bolas's brother from Dominaria despite not being printed until much later than the others. Personally I'm with him, the so-called dragonlords are "elders" in name only :P
This episode made me feel better about my own ability to play this game than any previous episode. I got the Expanse one, the Middle Earth one, and the real life skills question at the end. Very proud lol can't wait for the Home Game
Ha, I had the same three. Honestly I'm mad nobody knew the Middle Earth one because I always thought that was one of the coolest bits of Middle Earth lore. (Although it always bothered me that the mark of the ending of the Second Age was cutting the finger off some second rate minor angel, and not, you know, CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE WORLD IN RESPONSE TO SAILING TO WAR AGAINST HEAVEN ON EARTH.)
Yep. Most universities with solid engineering and physics departments will have accurate diagrams somewhere in the library too (and since all universities have internet access and you can find directions online, you could possibly argue that all schools have them now).
@@Jan_Koopman Hard to tell on the internet. I didn't think you had made an actual bomb, I just assumed you made a realistic replica of one, which would be totally possible (although now that I think about it the school would probably have freaked out so I proabably should have realized you were kidding :) ).
Um Actually Ron Simmons was the first African American WCW champion. To be clear, although WCW was under the NWA banner both the WCW championship and the NWA championship were defended there. Ron was the WCW Champion at that time and Barry Windham was the NWA World Champion. Long story long, Booker was not the first, but was the most well known.
oh man that mistborn one was surprising to me, I caught the "misting" once but also was going through the metals you listed to see if any were misnamed since I thought that one was too obvious. I guess I just need to read up on my allomantic chart. Also I see that nothing brings out the um actually nerds more like kicking cosmere fans, I guess that's just because his books are so specific.
Um actually, the magic effect does not come from the metal, it is just a catalyst, aluminum is not an enhancement metal as it actually blocks all forms of Investiture, and Mistings are limited to one type of allomantic ability. Edit: scrolled a bit and saw others make the same points I did. Glad all of us know Brando Sando's magic system too well
that's what I thought so I went and checked, it is classified as an Enhancement Metal, I think they wrote it like that to trip people up. The four Enhancement Metals are: Aluminum- Internal Pulling Duralumin- Internal Pushing Chromium- External Pulling Nicrosil- External Pushing
Um actually, in the following conversation after the Harry Potter question implied that the book that Tom Riddle learned about Horcruxes was just lying around the library, however it was in the restricted section and the only reason he was able to access it was because he was able to charm a professor to give him permission to access the restricted section.
Giving Harry Potter a bit of a rough time. I'm actually a bit surprised that I feel an urge to defend this. The book was in the restricted section, and it didn't seem to explain everything. Riddle likely had to put a lot of it together which is why he was probing Slughorn to begin with.
yes, though we mainly see in slughorn's memories that Riddle asks about making multiple horcruxes, as opposed to just one. Not quite about the creation of the horcrux itself from murder to material.
Luke getting Jurassic Park right away is a testament to Spielberg’s directing the the movie’s cinematography. I got it right away too. The color palette and framing are just burned into my memory forever.
Um, actually, you can touch the inside of a faraday cage witbout worry. The electric charges from the lightning strike repel each other, causing it to stay on the outer surface of the behicle. Don't worry about touching the doors and stuff.
If I recall correctly, the book on Horcruxes doesn't explain how to create them. That's why Riddle went to see Slughorn, to find out. This still isn't contradictory to the statement, just what you talked about after the fact.
There was a book that dumbledore hid away, later stolen by Hermione, that did include complete instructions. Riddle asked Slughorn really just about making multiple. ones.
Um, Actually, when Trapp is describing the pixel shiny question, he says the pictures will get gradually, "more clearer." This is ungrammatical, he should either say, "more clear," or just, "clearer," but not both together. :P
Um actually, having a parent's name as your middle name is not that weird. At least in my family there are many people who's middle name is their parents name, or sometimes grandparent's name.
a) grandparents are quite a bit different than parents b) "my family does this" doesn't necessary prove it's not weird :P I'm sure different cultural traditions are all different anyway though so definitely silly to get too deep into it haha.
Um actually, the pixel game is not a new game and was used once before on the show for "Um Actually Goes Hollywood" featuring North by Northwest, also guessed on the first try by Shayne.
And as a clarification, when they originally aired these, only the first ~1/3 of each episode was available in RUclips. The remaining you'd had to watch in Dropout. So, if you've only been watching Um, Actually in RUclips, you hadn't actually seen that question before today, which may add to the confusion.
I've watched so many games of Needs More Pixels now and the best I think I've seen is someone getting it on the second or third clarity level. TIL the very first time Trapp ever brought it out someone guessed it on the first fucking level. he laughed SO LOUD, you can practically SMELL his disbelieving joy. iconic. eyeglasses gang represent.
I've been wanting jeopardy (or something sorta similar) but relatable or at least more fun and i'm thrilled that you've filled that hole in my life and my heart
Um Actually your guest got the identity of The Mountie wrong. The Mountie was not William Regal, he is Jaques Rougeau. Jaques was one half of the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers as well as one half of the Qubeckers.
Umm, actually. The specific chocobo used in the shiny question is from Final Fantasy 15, while Gogo is from Final Fantasy 6. While Gogo does ride chocobos, he wouldn't be riding THAT chocobo.
Yeah really, that had me confused, I recognized Gogo as a Final Fantasy name, but the Chocobo was from the wrong game so I figured one of the other names was a Final Fantasy character I just didn't know of, and that Gogo was from another series entirely.
I am sitting here watching this on RUclips just because one popped up and then I kept watching them......and it literally took me 3 episodes before I'm like, "I pay for Dropout, WTF am I doing watching on RUclips with commercials cutting in??"
@@hobojones112 Hemalurgy had a significantly different effect on the type of person who used it (inquisitor/mistborn, koloss, human, misting, kandra). Specifically for the mistings it allowed them to burn another metal which is directly related to the question. So I understand the argument, but I think it falls within the pedanticness of the show.
The best thing this whole episode, the moment he said jurassic park, and "i watch TV wih my glasses off", I tested and it's true, that it just how I saw the original picture without my glasses too.
it's like *shows the pixelated and original image* We need you to say the diferance between this picture and this picture Me, without glases: This are the same picture
*Spoilers* I only got the last shiny right bc Griffin and Justin made a diapered Zach Braff in monster factory but during the episode griffin never once referenced a diapered wrestler.
Um, Actually Nico Bolas was in Ravnica with Niv Mizzit. However, he was there to take over the plane of Ravnica, not to get technical support for his e-mail.
Hey! I like baseball and I’m not nerdy! Wait… I’m commenting on Um, Actually like four minutes after it posted. Ah dangit I AM a nerd why didn’t anyone tell me!!?
Um, actually, in the question about Mistborn, you indicated that the God Metals each had a "unique" effect. This isn't exactly true. Your example, lerasium, has only one effect displayed in the text (namely, transforming oneself into a Mistborn), but in interviews, Brandon has indicated that this barely scratches the surface of what it can do. It's more accurate to say that, used with the right precision, lerasium can alter your spiritweb at will, effectively giving it a limitless space of possible effects. Then there's Ettmetal or harmonium, which presumably has Allomantic effects, but which no one could ever actually burn, because it explodes violently when it comes in contact with water, and the mysterious "trellium" (a fan name, as the actual metal is unknown), which has only ever been seen as a Hemalurgic spike, so any discussion of its Allomantic properties is speculation. Unless you mean "unique" as in, "doesn't fit into the four basic quadrants", in which case the counterexample is atium, which fits so neatly into the temporal metals that it was misidentified as one for hundreds of years.
Um, actually, the atium we see on era 1 fits into the temporal cuadrant because Brandon Sanderson confirmed that it is not, in fact, pure atium, but an alloy made of atium and (if I remember correctly) silver and gold, which are the metals that create electrum, a temporal metal, when alloyed without atium
@@matiassalinas9458 Point of order: the electrum-alloy retcon had not even been considered at the time I made my comment, and as such I was not in error when I spoke. Also, the retcon has thus far only been floated in hypothetical terms, and Brandon has not as of yet committed to the change in text nor even in Word of Brandon. As of the present moment, my comment is still canonically accurate and will remain so until such time as the electrum-alloy retcon is officially published (perhaps in Lost Metal?) or at the very least hard confirmed in Word of Brandon.
Um actually, for the Mistborn question Mistings do not *choose* which metal they burn for an affect, they are born with the ability to only burn one without any choice in the matter. Also Mistings are not the only people who can burn God metals specifically lerasium. Any person can burn lerasium and if that person does not have any allomantic abilities they then become a Mistborn instantly and are typically much stronger than the average Mistborn since their power hasn't been diluted.

Um actually Aluminium while it is an "enhancement" metal it is a pulling internal metal while duralumin is an internal PUSHING metal and Chromium acts like Aluminium as an external pulling metal wiping another allomancers metal reserves
The investiture originally came from both Preservation and Ruin but it was put into the metals at the beginning of the world and by burning that metal mistings and mistborn can access that investiture, so they get the investiture from the metals. Aluminum is considered to be the internal enhancement metal by the scientists in mistborn.
Aluminum is an internal enhancement metal

I swear I think you can see that fear of death go through Trapp's eyes as he realizes what that sounds like.

im pretty sure the chick overreacted

Mistborn fans, we made it!
We are slowly entering the cultural zeitgeist and soon sanderson shall rule all
we did; but um actually they got what aluminum does wrong, as aluminum is allomantically inert which would not classify as an enhancement metal... I would like one point please
@@josh-cz3ey um actually aluminium is not alomantically inert. It resists most investiture based powers, but when burnt by a mistborn it renders the alomancer's other metals inert.
Aluminum is seen a couple times in the series being burned by allomancers, the coppermind also lists it as internal pulling enhancement.
@@mcdcurtis The Ars Arcanum at the end of the books lists aluminum and duralumin as enhancement metals, but given that’s an in-world resource and due to the weird properties of aluminum as well as the inconsistent symmetries it creates in the allomantic, feruchemical, and hemalurgic tables, I strongly suspect that the current canon is actually an in-world misunderstanding
Umm Actually, in mistborn burning a metal is not the same as digesting the metal, It is an entirely different process. When an allomancer burns a metal they can control the rate at which it burns, which you cannot do with digestion. Furthermore, they repeatedly say that allomancers should burn off all of their unused metals before sleeping as many of them have toxic properties if digested. This implies burning a metal prevents it from being processed by the body.
Um, actually, according to the author recently, allomancers are actually immune to being poisoned by these metals and that's just an in universe misconception.
Mistborn gang where u at?
Right here baby
Yep... moment he said mistings and choosing I was like.... nope, not it.
Didn't read it in years and only once but instantly knew the problem with the statement. Wax and Wayne books were so fucking good.
Hell yes, I'm new to Mistborn and absolutely hooked on the books. What a series.
Always and forever
Padme was known as "Queen Amidala" but her full name is actually Padme Amidala Naberrie. Her last name is never spoken in any of the movies, but it's still canon just as much as Leia's middle name is. Leia having the same middle name as her mother isn't weird though. That happens in real life sometimes.
Um actually Amidala is Padme's regnal name while Naberrie is her birth surname. All candidates for monarch run under assumed names so that no one can tell which (pressumably aristocratic) family they come from. That's also why Padme can go by her first name while pretending to be a handmaiden. Queen Amidala is the only name known to the public. However after her term ended, Padme chose to go by the name Padme Amidala in the senate, with Padme Amidala Naberrie as her rarely used full name. It's unclear what her legal name is. This is at least the case in the new eu.
Also I don't know what Legends story gives Amidala as Leia's middle name, but it could actually be a double barreled surname, as automatically occurs in Naboo culture. So Padme naming Leia right before she dies would have conferred a surname in Naboo's custom.
Just because it also happens in our world doesn't mean it's not weird.
Can confirm my dad and I have the same middle name, Thomas.
@@AbsolXGuardian You did a deep-dive. Thanks for clearing it up (:
@@Halinn I don't think it's weird, I like sharing middle names with my grandma
Luke is my hero for guessing that pixelated image and crediting watching TV without glasses.
I feel like Luke looks and even sounds like a mix of two of the McElroy brothers, Griffin and Justin
When Luke guessed Jurassic park, and Mike gasps in astonishment, I love that you can tell he almost inItaly says “that’s *fucking* correct!!!!” He later says something to that effect but I did love the barely restrained shock haha
Um Actually I would posit that The Never Ending Story also takes place in our world since the boy is reading the book. Therefore only half the story takes place on a flat world...
A batting average of 0.400 is amazing. 0.667 would break baseball as a sport.
.667 is a good game let alone season average haha
How about that awesome stat to have 0 at bats but several RBIs by hitting a sac fly
Um actually, I would argue that more specifically Tom Riddle went to Slughorn to ask what would happen if he were to create multiple horcruxes, since even among wizards who had created horcruxes, creating more than one was unheard of.
Hogwarts keeps books on forbidden topics because you do need to know these things in order to find and destroy horcruxes, so they're used in advanced Defence Against The Dark Arts courses.
Um actually, the Mountie was portrayed by Jaques Rougeau, a French Canadian wrestler famous for his time as one half of the Fabulous Rougeaus and as one half of the Quebecers. William Regal competed under his real name, Hellraiser, Roy Regal and Steve Jones before becoming Steven Regal in WCW
finally some sanderson recognition!!!
That Mistborn one hurt me, in a way no other fandom besmurching has to date on this show.
About Voldemort, the book was in the restricted section! Not point worthy as it was just conversation. And he totally pushed Slughorn to expand his knowledge.
Um Actually, in the Harry Potter question you said that the act of taking a life is what lets the wizard hide a fragment of their soul, the author has not actually specified what goes into making a Horcrux, and while taking a life is probably involved we have no way to know for certain. The only Horcrux which we do know how it was made is a bit of an outlier because the 'death' that turned Harry into a Horcrux was that of Voldemort Himself.
Also, we do know that it involves more than just taking a life because the author said she wrote down the process for her editor and he threw up, so it wasn't fit for a children's book. So we do know that whatever the process, it is more complicated and much more horrible than just taking a life.
Um actually, faraday cages have nothing to do with the concept of being grounded, you are safe inside a faraday cage because the current gets conducted around the outside of the enclosed space so that none passes through the inside.
Yes, but the part of the answer that was wrong was that the tires act as a ground, whether a faraday cage does or not is a wholly separate issue to any claim being made.
Rubber is an insulator, the tyres don't ground the car at all.
The net charge inside a closed metal sphere is 0
@@teelo12000 Um actually, while it is true that rubber is an insulator when it comes ot lower voltges, it's not when it comes to the millions of volts in a lightning strike. Rubber will in this case conduct electricity reasonably well.
@@sternis1 Agreed. If the current has enough power to jump through the sky (which is typically a pretty good insulator) it's not going to have any trouble jumping the last few inches from the car to the ground through or around tires. The tires may be unintentionally serving as a ground.
As a nerd and a baseball fan it is 100% accurate that I like the sport for the statistics.
"Luke Finds A Way!" nailed it Trapp!
21:21 You call that "crazy Russian nesting doll", but actually there are many real life species which are born pregnant, the phenomenon is called "telescoping generations".
Female humans start making eggs at 9 weeks. After conception! Not too great a leap for an asexual species to just go ahead and start growing those puppies right away.
Um actually, on the star wars question you could consider the time Lea said that she always knew deep down that Luke was her brother as her having used the force inadvertently, so the events stated in the question aren't the only times she displayed use of the force
Another pedantic correction: the car tires would insulate, not ground, the car. The act of grounding a circuit literally means connecting it to the ground.
More pedantry. Grounding is not connecting it to the physical ground. It is connecting the circuit to a reservoir of infinite charge carriers. This can be the ground but it could also just be an object that has access to sufficiently more charge carriers than the circuit.
I think given the enormous voltage of a lighting strike rubber would not be a sufficient insulator, so in that scenario it would ground the car.
@@gudmundur-heimisson I would assume it still has more resistance than if the frame was sitting on the ground. Tbh given how close a car does sit to the ground, I would guess the current would tend to just jump from the underside of the body to the ground if a strike hit it.
@@jerodast yeah that might well be the case. In any event I think we can agree that in this specific context the car can be considered as effectively grounded at the voltages that are in play whether the current goes through the tires or not.
Umm actually, The Mountie wasn't Steven/ William Regal, it was Jacques Rougeau, who was previously one half of The Quebecers, with Pierre Ouellet, who is now known as PCO.
Convinced that Luke is another instance of surprise Matt Damon in a role.
13:09 um actually the kid is on the spectrum and apparently in the predator universe that's a super power. pretty insulting.
I'm 4 months late to this video, but I've been watching the entire series over the last week or two, and I can confidently say that (at least up to this point) "Luke finds a way" is the funniest thing Trapp has said on this show, and maybe that anyone has said on any show, and the fact that it got no reaction in the room is a crime of either comedy or editing.
Almost seems as if someone writing a Jurassic Park question might have already had that response teed up...
I got that it was a pun on "life finds a way," but it totally went over my head that that phrase is FROM Jurassic Park. So yeah, it was even funnier because of that context.
I love rewatching these old episodes cause you'll hear them adamantly exclaim something, like "There's no way they'll beat Dungeons&Dragons!" and just go "well.....".
Looking at this comments makes me go “well…”
No one cares about the OGL now, and DND remains unchallenged
9:52 - I like that you can tell Danielle’s board is arranged differently and yet the editors did such a great job masking that she clearly said them in a different order than the order on our screen.
The only place I can hear the edits is right before she says FIO there is some background noise that gets cut with her umm
her board is the same as all the others'
When I saw read Mistborn and saw that LOTR thumbnail I clicked in a heartbeat
"Luke, uh, finds a way." Well played, Trapp. Well played indeed.
Danielle being wrong about the Mountie being William regal breaks my heart
Now I need an Um actually just about wrestling. Those contestants would not stand for that slander
I love how Luke just guesses the ending to mistborn. Ahhh he can use like 3 metals and in other ways.
Good to see that only the Thumbnail is reused and not that this is a reupload.
I am 95% certain this is a re-upload. I have been driven nuts by that girl's purse by the couch before.
ETA: Yes, this is a re-upload. recognized the shiny question. I want a new one so bad.
This is 100% a reupload I remember the 5 time question. It may be re-edited though, for censorship maybe?
I'm gonna steal this one from the others who replied:
UM ACTUALLY, this is a reupload.
Of course it's a reupload. It's been edited so that it now contains the remaining 16 minutes of the episode that were previously only watchable in Dropout. Has been the same thing for each and every video since this channel was created (or more like repurposed, IIRC). New episodes (if they'd get back to making proper studio episodes) would first go to Dropout.
Mistborn?! Are we mainstream now?
Well they've mentioned Stormlight Archive and the Cosmere in general in past episodes so I guess we are
Apparently not enough since none of the contestants seemed to have read the books
Freakin normies, man
Still have my favourite series!
Um, actually: The Expanse was based on a homebrew table top game that I believe they actually had a group of people play and inspire part of the storylines. So while it isn't an officially produced game, it was technically a table top game first.
I own the Green Ronin "The Expanse Roleplaying Game" book (ISBN: 978-1-934547-97-7). It's built on the AGE system. It is copyrighted for 2019. I thought that this is what the statement was going for.
As for the tabletop game that launched the story, I believe it was based a Travellers game (not sure which).
Oh my god, I’d love to see them playing and making the choices that became the plot
@@Langwidere903 I think the most heavily traded bit of that lore is how the player for Shed, the medic from the early episodes, had to drop out of the game, which led to some of the uh, plot developments around his character. No idea if that's the exact reality though :)
Um, Actually William Regal wasn’t the Mountie, that was Jacques Rougeau Jr.
PLEASE tell me this show is gonna become even more popular than it used to be!!! I can’t stop watching! 😎😎😎
WOW what an obscure pull with the Rui/Louie from Bomberman. Got some ps1 Bomberman Fantasy Race flashbacks something fierce.
For the Star Trek question tribbles are based on Aphids an insect in real life. Which are born (hatched) essentially pregnant and can self fertilize
This one was...painful to watch. The spirit of Um Actually really filled me throughout.
For the record, Niv-Mizzet, while a much younger dragon than some of the elders, is also substantially older than at least five of them (the dragonlords Atarka, Kolaghan, Silumgar, Dromoka, and Ojutai). And he does in fact have five digits, though since he is a big old lizard, it's unclear how he is able to use equipment built for his much smaller employees.
I get the feeling Luke was not aware there are some later-printed dragons that are canonically elder dragons, beyond the first 5. And of course Ugin was retconned to be Nicol Bolas's brother from Dominaria despite not being printed until much later than the others. Personally I'm with him, the so-called dragonlords are "elders" in name only :P
This episode made me feel better about my own ability to play this game than any previous episode. I got the Expanse one, the Middle Earth one, and the real life skills question at the end. Very proud lol can't wait for the Home Game
Ha, I had the same three. Honestly I'm mad nobody knew the Middle Earth one because I always thought that was one of the coolest bits of Middle Earth lore. (Although it always bothered me that the mark of the ending of the Second Age was cutting the finger off some second rate minor angel, and not, you know, CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE WORLD IN RESPONSE TO SAILING TO WAR AGAINST HEAVEN ON EARTH.)
Uhm actually you missed a great pun when he said Ohm actually XD
Um actually, my high school had a step by step guide on how to make your own nuke. I did that for my finals project.
Yep. Most universities with solid engineering and physics departments will have accurate diagrams somewhere in the library too (and since all universities have internet access and you can find directions online, you could possibly argue that all schools have them now).
@@markissleepy, interesting. I was joking tho
@@Jan_Koopman Hard to tell on the internet. I didn't think you had made an actual bomb, I just assumed you made a realistic replica of one, which would be totally possible (although now that I think about it the school would probably have freaked out so I proabably should have realized you were kidding :) ).
Um, Actually WIlliam Regal was never The Mountie in the WWF. The Mountie was Jacques Rougeau.
Glad someone got this.
Um Actually Ron Simmons was the first African American WCW champion. To be clear, although WCW was under the NWA banner both the WCW championship and the NWA championship were defended there. Ron was the WCW Champion at that time and Barry Windham was the NWA World Champion.
Long story long, Booker was not the first, but was the most well known.
Ron Simmons is the first African American WCW Heavyweight champ, aka Farooq in WWE
oh man that mistborn one was surprising to me, I caught the "misting" once but also was going through the metals you listed to see if any were misnamed since I thought that one was too obvious. I guess I just need to read up on my allomantic chart. Also I see that nothing brings out the um actually nerds more like kicking cosmere fans, I guess that's just because his books are so specific.
Um actually, the magic effect does not come from the metal, it is just a catalyst, aluminum is not an enhancement metal as it actually blocks all forms of Investiture, and Mistings are limited to one type of allomantic ability.
Edit: scrolled a bit and saw others make the same points I did. Glad all of us know Brando Sando's magic system too well
that's what I thought so I went and checked, it is classified as an Enhancement Metal, I think they wrote it like that to trip people up.
The four Enhancement Metals are:
Aluminum- Internal Pulling
Duralumin- Internal Pushing
Chromium- External Pulling
Nicrosil- External Pushing
it's weird to me seeing so many people make the mistake of thinking aluminium is not an enhancement metal.
I love the genuine surprise from Trap when Luke got the Needs More Pixel question correct
Um actually, in the following conversation after the Harry Potter question implied that the book that Tom Riddle learned about Horcruxes was just lying around the library, however it was in the restricted section and the only reason he was able to access it was because he was able to charm a professor to give him permission to access the restricted section.
Um actually implications are solely implications. Something that isn’t said can’t be wrong
Um actually, aluminum isn't an enhancement metal
Thank you!
Yes it is; Aluminum, Duralumin, Chromium, and Nicrosil. Those are the 4 enhancement metals.
It is, it is just negative enhancement or "pulling", like how deceleration is still acceleration, just negative
I don't know why, but Shane is the most cartoon looking human being I've eve seen in my life.
It's that devilish grin!
Giving Harry Potter a bit of a rough time. I'm actually a bit surprised that I feel an urge to defend this.
The book was in the restricted section, and it didn't seem to explain everything. Riddle likely had to put a lot of it together which is why he was probing Slughorn to begin with.
And all books about Horcruxes did get removed by Dumbledore when he became headmaster
yes, though we mainly see in slughorn's memories that Riddle asks about making multiple horcruxes, as opposed to just one. Not quite about the creation of the horcrux itself from murder to material.
This show has become a staple of my Friday after work wind down routine. Keep doing what you're doing, I dig it!
"Now that I've pissed off some of our audience..."
That's me!
The "Luke finds a way" joke....dunno if intended or not but I loved it.
Luke getting Jurassic Park right away is a testament to Spielberg’s directing the the movie’s cinematography. I got it right away too. The color palette and framing are just burned into my memory forever.
Um, actually, you can touch the inside of a faraday cage witbout worry. The electric charges from the lightning strike repel each other, causing it to stay on the outer surface of the behicle. Don't worry about touching the doors and stuff.
If I recall correctly, the book on Horcruxes doesn't explain how to create them. That's why Riddle went to see Slughorn, to find out. This still isn't contradictory to the statement, just what you talked about after the fact.
There was a book that dumbledore hid away, later stolen by Hermione, that did include complete instructions. Riddle asked Slughorn really just about making multiple. ones.
Um, Actually, when Trapp is describing the pixel shiny question, he says the pictures will get gradually, "more clearer." This is ungrammatical, he should either say, "more clear," or just, "clearer," but not both together.
:P
Um actually, having a parent's name as your middle name is not that weird. At least in my family there are many people who's middle name is their parents name, or sometimes grandparent's name.
a) grandparents are quite a bit different than parents b) "my family does this" doesn't necessary prove it's not weird :P
I'm sure different cultural traditions are all different anyway though so definitely silly to get too deep into it haha.
@@jerodast Um, actually nothing is silly to get too deep into in this show..
The thumbnail of this blessed video is the single most cursed thing on this channel

Um actually, the pixel game is not a new game and was used once before on the show for "Um Actually Goes Hollywood" featuring North by Northwest, also guessed on the first try by Shayne.
This is a rerun of a season 2 episode from August 2019. "Um Actually Goes Hollywood" is a season 3 episode that aired in February 2020.
@@synchronos1 oh damn. Thank you! I haven't seen this one yet I just looked at the date posted 😅 thank you for the correction!
And as a clarification, when they originally aired these, only the first ~1/3 of each episode was available in RUclips. The remaining you'd had to watch in Dropout. So, if you've only been watching Um, Actually in RUclips, you hadn't actually seen that question before today, which may add to the confusion.
Discworld: a turtle holding some elephants holding a disk.
Doesn't sound very flat to me
Um actually, Ron Simmons was the first African American to win the WCW World Championship in 1992. Damn!
I was like..it was ron simmons...and was waiting for them to say it
The one answer I knew is the one answer the show got wrong
Finally a question I would have gotten, because I read the mistborn series.
I’M A SIMPLE PERSON, I SEE MISTBORN, I CLICK
I've watched so many games of Needs More Pixels now and the best I think I've seen is someone getting it on the second or third clarity level. TIL the very first time Trapp ever brought it out someone guessed it on the first fucking level. he laughed SO LOUD, you can practically SMELL his disbelieving joy. iconic. eyeglasses gang represent.
um aktually, hte Predator that targets the child in Peele's predator movie was already an outcast... and thus doesn't follow their code anymore.
I've been wanting jeopardy (or something sorta similar) but relatable or at least more fun and i'm thrilled that you've filled that hole in my life and my heart
Um Actually your guest got the identity of The Mountie wrong. The Mountie was not William Regal, he is Jaques Rougeau. Jaques was one half of the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers as well as one half of the Qubeckers.
I totally nailed that Jurassic Park gate pixelation. I too have poor eyesight and it is my favorite movie
Umm, actually. The specific chocobo used in the shiny question is from Final Fantasy 15, while Gogo is from Final Fantasy 6. While Gogo does ride chocobos, he wouldn't be riding THAT chocobo.
You, I like you
Thank you
Yeah really, that had me confused, I recognized Gogo as a Final Fantasy name, but the Chocobo was from the wrong game so I figured one of the other names was a Final Fantasy character I just didn't know of, and that Gogo was from another series entirely.
I am sitting here watching this on RUclips just because one popped up and then I kept watching them......and it literally took me 3 episodes before I'm like, "I pay for Dropout, WTF am I doing watching on RUclips with commercials cutting in??"
Um actually... (Mistborn spoilers),
Mistings can burn two (or more) different types of metals with the help of a hemalurgic spike.
Yes and no. Technically anyone can burn as many metals as they want through the use of hemalurgy so I feel like that wouldn't quite count here.
@@hobojones112 Hemalurgy had a significantly different effect on the type of person who used it (inquisitor/mistborn, koloss, human, misting, kandra). Specifically for the mistings it allowed them to burn another metal which is directly related to the question. So I understand the argument, but I think it falls within the pedanticness of the show.
The best thing this whole episode, the moment he said jurassic park, and "i watch TV wih my glasses off", I tested and it's true, that it just how I saw the original picture without my glasses too.
it's like
*shows the pixelated and original image* We need you to say the diferance between this picture and this picture
Me, without glases: This are the same picture
*Spoilers*
I only got the last shiny right bc Griffin and Justin made a diapered Zach Braff in monster factory but during the episode griffin never once referenced a diapered wrestler.
I’ve been waiting for some sort of TAZ or MBMBAM lore to get worked in to this show
Cool that brother content helped you with this one
Um, Actually Nico Bolas was in Ravnica with Niv Mizzit. However, he was there to take over the plane of Ravnica, not to get technical support for his e-mail.
Also how was Luke not sure whether Niv Mizzit had a connection to the Izzet guild? It's right there in the name! It's a pretty big connection!
MISTBORNNNNN
Woo woo woo!
Boy the Mistborn question had me furious.
Hey! I like baseball and I’m not nerdy!
Wait… I’m commenting on Um, Actually like four minutes after it posted. Ah dangit I AM a nerd why didn’t anyone tell me!!?

*Psssst; dude, I think you’re a nerd. Just thought I should tell you.*
So...do you like fractions and button downs?
We assumed you knew.
I love this show, I've been a dropout subscriber for years and it's my favorite streaming service 😁 the host is amazing as well, a real natural
Um, actually, in the question about Mistborn, you indicated that the God Metals each had a "unique" effect. This isn't exactly true. Your example, lerasium, has only one effect displayed in the text (namely, transforming oneself into a Mistborn), but in interviews, Brandon has indicated that this barely scratches the surface of what it can do. It's more accurate to say that, used with the right precision, lerasium can alter your spiritweb at will, effectively giving it a limitless space of possible effects. Then there's Ettmetal or harmonium, which presumably has Allomantic effects, but which no one could ever actually burn, because it explodes violently when it comes in contact with water, and the mysterious "trellium" (a fan name, as the actual metal is unknown), which has only ever been seen as a Hemalurgic spike, so any discussion of its Allomantic properties is speculation.
Unless you mean "unique" as in, "doesn't fit into the four basic quadrants", in which case the counterexample is atium, which fits so neatly into the temporal metals that it was misidentified as one for hundreds of years.
Um, actually, the atium we see on era 1 fits into the temporal cuadrant because Brandon Sanderson confirmed that it is not, in fact, pure atium, but an alloy made of atium and (if I remember correctly) silver and gold, which are the metals that create electrum, a temporal metal, when alloyed without atium
@@matiassalinas9458 Point of order: the electrum-alloy retcon had not even been considered at the time I made my comment, and as such I was not in error when I spoke. Also, the retcon has thus far only been floated in hypothetical terms, and Brandon has not as of yet committed to the change in text nor even in Word of Brandon. As of the present moment, my comment is still canonically accurate and will remain so until such time as the electrum-alloy retcon is officially published (perhaps in Lost Metal?) or at the very least hard confirmed in Word of Brandon.
Um actually, for the Mistborn question Mistings do not *choose* which metal they burn for an affect, they are born with the ability to only burn one without any choice in the matter. Also Mistings are not the only people who can burn God metals specifically lerasium. Any person can burn lerasium and if that person does not have any allomantic abilities they then become a Mistborn instantly and are typically much stronger than the average Mistborn since their power hasn't been diluted.
