The chaos continues. This is Part 2 of our Side Quest mini-series, The Wheel of Questions — where the Gamertagged crew spins for random prompts and rides the weird wherever it goes. Perfect for fans of gaming podcasts, funny creator banter, and unpredictable crew challenges.

In this episode of Gamertagged: Side Quest, the full cast — Sue-She, Portabella, Ryanocerus, Marthah Maple, and host Scarto46 — picks up right where Part 1 left off, tackling brand-new spins of the Wheel of Questions. From imagining ourselves as failed Kickstarter campaigns, to assigning each other fast-food identities, to forming a slam poetry band that probably shouldn’t exist, the conversation swerves between ridiculous hypotheticals, inside jokes, and moments of genuine connection. It’s the kind of chaotic, community-driven fun you’ll only find on Gamertagged.

We talk:

  • Who gets kicked out of our fictional band first (and why it’s Ryan)
  • The comfort food equivalent of each cast member
  • Turning internet personas into Magic: The Gathering cards
  • Who would suffer most without a mic
  • The real reason our fake Kickstarter failed

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's time for SideQuest.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Kick us off, scardo hey everyone, welcome back to
episode two of side quest withthe wheel of questions.
It's just the cast we'rehanging out today just kicking
back to wander off the main path.
So no deep dives into gamertext today.
Instead we've got something alittle bit more unpredictable.
Uh, so we're going to beworking through the wheel of
questions.
You might have heard episodeone, you might not have.
These questions are kind ofchaotic and loaded with a little

(00:46):
bit of random prompts, someweird hypotheticals and
conversation starters, and we'llprobably have no real business
answering them.
So we'll spin the wheel, we'llsee where it lands and we'll
just roll with it.
Expect some laughs, maybe somequestionable life advice, and
definitely no guarantee thatwe'll stay on topic.
Maybe some tears.
Laughs and tears kind of gotogether.

(01:07):
Joining us tonight isRhinoceros.
I am here.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Sushi hey friends.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Portabella.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
The Martha Maple.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh hello.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
And me Scarto46.
So we're going to spin thewheel and see where this goes.
Are you ready?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Ready?
Yes, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh, this looks amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Oh, yes, yeah, what does it look like?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh, hold on.
For the first time, Does thewheel take questions off that
we've answered or we might getthe same question again?
I think the wheel takequestions off that we've
answered, or we might get thesame question again.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I think the wheel takes questions off.
We're going to find that answerout to you.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So when it pops up, there's a close or a remove.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
You have to hit remove.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
You've been hitting close.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
But it's okay.
Thank you, martha Maple, thatwas helpful advice.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
You're so welcome.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Previously.
Okay, If we were an indie bandwho writes the lyrics and who
gets kicked out before the first.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Rhino writes the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, I think Rhino gets kicked out before the first
.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, I was going to say Rhino's out dude, I write
the lyrics and I get kicked out.
Hey, ryan's out dude.
I write the lyrics and I getkicked out.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I feel like he's probably one of the most
musically inclined, as well asPortabella.
But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I'm a control freak, though.
Ryan Osworth is definitelygetting kicked out.
We're going to have to vote himout.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Good luck playing your guitars without me bitches.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
You're going to vote me out.
Is that what you said we'redoing?
Slam poetry that's what we'redoing as a band.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Imagine an hour of the same people doing slam
poetry.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's my hell.
We're going to trade off.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Each one of us will rotate from drums to actually
speaking the poetry and likedrum sets, like not bongos, but
like very inappropriate drums.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
I think this is a really great idea for our next
side quest.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, we should try that.
I think we'd be okay.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay, so if Ryan's not there, I think Portabella
has some sweet beatbox skills,so I think we could I'm so glad
that I get to just watch thishappen, and I don't have to be
in it.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
So are I'm so glad that I get to just watch this
happen and I don't have to be init.
So we're gonna sample thesebeatbox skills right now, or
what?
Yeah, hello, we can't just dropthat, you can't say you have
good beatbox skills, when notbeatbox every time I've been.
Anytime someone's found out Ican beatbox, they always ask me
to beatbox and I always getcaught off self guard and it
never you got this.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I believe in you.
It's either you beatbox or wejust smash drums and like Either
you beatbox or they have to.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Let me back in the band.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Please.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You're back in.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't know if I'm in this blind.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You can do it.
I believe in you.
You can do it.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, okay, oh, she's cutting out, she's good, yeah,
it's not gonna work.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
But no, I heard it.
I heard the boots and cats.
I got it trust.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I can't.
I heard the video circulatingsomewhere, me doing it trust
yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, so I guess that means rhinoceros will be kicked
out after all.
I'm taking my lyrics with metaking your lyrics.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
What are your lyrics about?
I'm not telling you, don't knowanymore, they're mine are we
like an?
Emotional band.
I feel like we're a Midwest emoband.
Oh yeah, like Hawthorne.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Heights.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, okay, cool like I feel that we do need, because
I feel like if Skardo takesover lyric writing, we're going
to have like a 12 minute.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm excited for a 12 minute slam poetry song.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's just going to be pinging back and just like
random thoughts and tellingeverybody how much he loves and
appreciates them.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
It would be me like a Jonah Hill.
Yes, that would be Martha.
I would be Jonah Hill on 21Jump Street.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
That's what that would be, he's just going to
sing, stroke the Furry Wallsover and over.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
You're right, I am, that was our number one single.
Why did you tell everyone?
Sorry, it's okay, all right, soI guess this question is TBD,
but it sounds like Rhinoceroswould be voted out first,
although Sushi wants to vote out.
Can't believe this, but yeah,you probably.
I agree, you probably are themost effective musician you know

(05:31):
, other than the Boots and Catslady, who we'll definitely hear
in the future.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
We should get her on your mic, Scardo.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Oh yeah, bring her over here and put her on Boots
and Cats.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That's a Patreon exclusive.
We're not doing that on Bootsand Cats.
That's a Patreon exclusive.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We're not doing that.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Subscribe to our Patreon for Boots and Cats and a
12-minute slam poetry song.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
That's a winner.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
We're just sleep-toking dude.
That's all we're doing.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's how you do it.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, I love sleep-toking.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
We know, here we go, we know.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
We're're gonna roll the wheel again.
Oh yeah, portabella, would youassign everyone a fast food item
that matches their vibe?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
I can certainly try.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I feel like you know everyone's vibes pretty well.
You've engaged and interactedand listened and edited everyone
on this show.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, I think.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Just full send.
I'm ready for my feelings to beheard.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Go ahead.
I'm already laughing aboutSkardos.
I feel like Skardos would belike the like have you ever

Like you'd be a solid Arby'ssandwich.
That's the best way I candescribe it the roast beef and
cheese.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's what you're saying sure.

nugget, because I'm so waitingfor that answer.
I love chicken nugget.

Speaker 1 (08:11):

You'd be like some likeexisting meal, like you would be
the special, like the sauce.
You know, sometimes it would belike specialty sauces and stuff
.
I feel like that would be you,but you'd have to be all the
sauces all at once on one thing.
Wow.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I heard her say you were the existing meal of all
the sauces all at once.
That's what I I boiled heranswer down to for you sushi
what I heard was that I was theultimate secret sauce.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
That's what I'm gonna go thinking.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
That's what I heard you put that on those chicken
nuggets gosh I don't know aboutthat.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Why am I here?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
portobello.
If you, if you were a fast fooditem, what would you choose for
yourself?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
No, we should guess what she should be.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, all right, let's go Sushi.
What would you assign toPortabella?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
She is a bowl of ramen with no broth.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, just the noodles.
Okay, just the noodles.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Just the nudes, okay.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Just the nudes.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Just the nudes.
I was going to say like an icy.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Like Coke or Red the Red one.
Oh, a mixture, oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Cherry Coke Icy, so you mix the cherry and the Coke
Cherry.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Coke.
I see Martha.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Maple.
I think Portabella is thecherry on top of the sundae oh,
that's so sweet.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I think.
Portabella is a hamburger,plain and dry get some plain and
dry now.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
We know how you eat your hamburgers too that's just
the best condiment, but not onmy burger no, it must be dry.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I know exactly how she eats her hamburgers and that
is exactly y'all want to know.
Her first gamer tag we're notdoing this right now.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
That would be a different episode right now yeah
, we gotta interview her wecan't get this away, hey.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Stardo, just so you know, hamburger is not her first
gamertag it's not, I've beenlying to you you've been lying
to me this whole time.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
My whole relationship with you is a lie.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I guess you're just gonna interview me because I'm
not telling you right now.
But Sushi was supposed to keepthat secret, but Tushy did not.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I'm like pretty heartbroken and curious at the
same time I felt like I was yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Creating a moment to collect yourself.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, I need a moment , please.
I'm going to spin this wheelwhile I take my moment.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
What does that even mean?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
I have no idea.
Y'all have never played Magicthe Gathering, All right.
So the question is, orstatement describe your internet
presence like it's a magicgathering card.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, so I feel like magic cards they all have.
Like, there's like a cause andeffect when you put these cards
out and I feel like mine is thecard that you play when you want
to bring your friends along.
You need some extra bodies.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
I'm just out here like bringing people together
dog.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, man, that's really sweet dude.
So you're saying, when someoneplays your card face up, you're
just uniting forces?
Yeah, okay, all right, I likethat.
I like that.
I like that.
Okay, cool, do we want to go onto the next one?

(12:32):
Okay, okay.
So Martha Maple.
One cast member has to survivean entire episode with no mic.
Who suffers the most?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Ardo.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Final answer.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Can you repeat that question again?
I think you cut out.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Sorry, yeah, one cast member has to survive an entire
episode with no mic.
Who suffers the most?
Martha, your answer was Scartame.
Why is that?

Speaker 4 (13:22):
You like to talk?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
This is why we would have a 12-minute song.
Yeah, it would be killing you.
Yeah, you would totally comeand, like you know, you would
try to like, use someone else'smic or make it happen.
We all, just you know,portobello would survive without
her mic.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Clearly yes, she's been in and out.
I feel like Scarto would tryand Kool-Aid man through
someone's wall just to get aword in.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I agree you just called me the Kool-Aid man.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Bro, I did change that gamer tag.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Oh man yeah, it'd probably be me, because so my
thing in life, especiallyespecially we're engaging with
guests I'm always worried aboutand and sushi will say this
about me I don't like wheneverit's super quiet.
So I try to engage and I try tomake sure that I'm engaged and
I want our guests to know thatI'm engaged.
Them all want our cast to knowthat I'm engaged with them.

(14:21):
So that definitely does botherme.
Whenever I can't, it woulddrive me nuts.
You're 100, right, okay?

Speaker 4 (14:30):
let's do the bad thing, well, thanks.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Ryan osper said he didn't like the talk on the
podcast.
Remember that I do yeah, whatwe recorded that it was as
evidence when I didn't say thatit went live on tiktok yeah, it
did, everyone confirmed it I wasrecorded under duress all right

(15:01):
, let's spend one more time andwe'll.
This will be our last questionfor episode two of the chaotic
wheel of questions with thegamertag cast, so let's see what
we get.
I hope it's a good one.
Okay, could you describe thepodcast like it's a Kickstarter,

(15:25):
like it's a failed Kickstarter?
Ryan Ostros some context formaybe folks who are listening
and maybe folks who don't knowwhat is Kickstarter, and maybe
folks who don't know what isKickstarter.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Kickstarter is a platform where you can have a
project and have people back itand there are different levels
that they can pay, depending onwhat the product is.
They can get that product.
They can get some sort of bonusversion.
Go to kickstartercom and youcan see exactly what I'm talking
about.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Kickstartercom slash gamertagged wait, that does not
exist for all your kickstarterneeds for gamertagged.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Help us make this podcast reality help us go to
disney world together world.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
I want to go to disneyland or land either, or
we're not picky I mean one'smore expensive than the other,
for sure we'll go to the cheaperone.
We're good stewards of theworld, that's kickstartercom
slash gamertagged so if you'regoing to describe this podcast
like it's a failed kickstarter,which means it did not get

(16:31):
funded by folks, how would youdescribe this podcast?

Speaker 1 (16:34):
okay, gamertag would have failed because we're trying
to do this kind of anonymousinterviewing thing, not using
people's real names.
But in order to support akickstarter, you have to give
them credit card info which thenhas your real name on it.
So we have to figure out how dowe ask people to support this

(16:55):
thing without them knowing thatwe're actually the ones working
on it.
It's a very good point.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I was going to say it was because Cass has too many
F-words and they're confusedbetween whether they're PG-13 or
EVMA.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Help us not fail our Kickstarter by going to
kickstartercom.
Slash gamertact.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Again, if you're listening, that does not exist.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
We failed because Scar won't let us actually start
.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
I apologize for advertising.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
That doesn't work, but you can visit us at
patreoncom slash gamertagged.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Also does not exist.
You can visit our Ko-Fi Ifyou're feeling like watching
this video and this madness here.
You can always visit our Ko-Fi.
There we're looking for newways to help fund the podcast in
the future, but today we areusing Ko-Fi.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
You could also just Venmo me directly.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Oh yeah, what do you accept?
Do you accept $1, $10, or $100for your podcast?
$1.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
I would like $1 bill.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Whoa, I have questions that's all the time we
have for this gamer tag.

Remember you can visit all of our things that I
said earlier and we'll see younext time thanks for joining us
