Here's some festive fun to kick-off your twelve days of Christmas. On the first day of Christmas, my favorite* podcast gave to me... Four games, five friends, and presents for thee.

Matt, Audra, Jason, Jenn and Chris gather around the fireplace for a festive game night, just like the ones you had growing up. Except it's weird, and with fandom themes. Have a Merry Everything, Everyone! We'll be back in two weeks with STATLeapers.

*or at least Top 5 according to Spotify Wrapped!

Matt Watson is a comedy writer and podcaster. But you may also know them as the Gamesmaster.

Matt shares his early childhood obsessions, and how they shaped who they are. Matt tells a story about getting screwed-over by a carny at Legoland, as well as giving cringe-inducing presentations about the TV show Lost. Maybe this will explain Matt, maybe it won't, but it's a lovely conversation either way.

We leap back into the world of reality TV, via a gameshow that looks back at the highs and lows of reality TV in 2024. "This is a fun one y'all" - Is the kind of out of context line from one of our players I would put in a hype package.

Our players this episode are four close friends - Jenn Ragain, Ash Wood, Taylor Logan and our resident team captain, Audra Stephenson. Can #GateTok survive this!?

It's season 4 episode 20, we had to do it.

In this entirely high trivia night, five stoner-coded humans get together to play a few silly games about the history of marijuana and it's place in pop-culture. Audra & Matt were joined by resident stoners of sister-podcast BFYTW, Stevie and Augie. As well as the executive producer himself, Adam Wood.

Audra Stephenson is our resident Gateleapers Captain, a STEM girlie, an incredibly supportive partner and a best friend.

Audra shares her highly specific early fandom obsessions. We discuss if Chrsistianity is a fandom, and how it alligned with Greek Mythology, her other teen-brain obsession. And we learn just how much The Lord of the Rings has impacted Audra's life.
