Tonight we'll find out in a game of bowling for suits. You've lost your mind. You've lost it. So I've compiled a list of trivia about some famous people known for wearing white suits. And you will take turns answering who you think the trivia belongs to. If you get it right on the first try, that's a straight. On a second try, that's a spare. And if you fail both, that's a gutter ball. Gutter ball. You goddamn son of a bitch! Yeah, Curt, we all know bowling. We all know the audible version of bowling. Okay. Yeah, come on. This is going to be easy. An important part of this. And totally makes sense. I'm at the little TV they got at the alley, and I got to put in your name. So, Brad, what is the name you want me to put in for you? Okay, this is really creative on my end. B space R-A-D. This is why I don't take you both. And Ryan, what about you? B-E-N space Dover.

Question / challenge
B-E-N space Dover. Nothing with a duck. We're not going to get, like, the duckman. Why would we do that? Not like an image of a duck. Like your Facebook photo from 2007.

- I have to clue if it was some medical disease.
- I'll have to take your word for it.
- Now I have to try to think of the other people that Curtis mentioned that I wasn't listening
- You just have to read my book.
- I feel like you have to guess Mark Twain.

PREDICTION
Alan, Fraser, and Freddie all go on three different blind dates that all go terribly wrong and end up all at the same restaurant.
PREDICTION
But here's my quarrel with that premise.
PREDICTION
Blind dates barely are a thing if they're a thing at all these days.
Show 13 more predictions
PREDICTION
Like, that's not a thing that happens anymore, I don't think.
PREDICTION
The idea that three different people that know each other would have three different blind dates on the same day.
PREDICTION
We'll find out in the previous episode.
PREDICTION
They can make three blind mice references cards soon.
PREDICTION
I will say, Brad has done much better at the prediction game than I have.
PREDICTION
If you go back through, he's actually got a couple things pretty right.
PREDICTION
I think I've been pretty good at predictions.
PREDICTION
Every time you give one of these predictions, I've been like, oh, so we don't need to watch it, I guess.
PREDICTION
I don't know if it's that the episode titles are more descriptive of the episode or what, but it's why.
PREDICTION
I also think I have a very good handle on the Fraser universe.
PREDICTION
No way you could have predicted that Freddy's birthday would be about Freddy and his birthday.
PREDICTION
Ryan did predict when we were going forwards, when I gave him the title, the Freddy's birthday, he did guess it would be the Lulith episode.
PREDICTION
Brad, you also had a really surprisingly accurate guess about that episode, this episode.
