Reasonable proposals, angry mob
Curtis introduces the game: each participant proposes something reasonable while the others act as a dumb, panicky mob. Whoever emerges least scathed is supposed to win. No points are assigned.

Frank: vacations are awesome
Frank defends vacations, including staying home and having time off work. The mock opposition calls vacations stupid, objects to taking time off and suggests needing a vacation from a vacation.

Curtis: every store should have self-checkout
Curtis proposes at least one self-checkout in every store because he values his time. The mob raises job loss, theft and stores where the idea may not work. Asked whether he is pro-theft, Curtis jokingly says yes. A Target-employment tangent interrupts the discussion; it is not an additional proposal. Ryan eventually says, “You’ve won me over.”

Ryan: no device audio without headphones
Ryan wants mobile-device audio banned without headphones. The mock opposition brings up fascism, boomboxes, swimming pools and parenting. He briefly permits a backyard exception, then withdraws it after pushback and reaffirms that devices should be quiet. During the parenting discussion, Frank says the questioner is not wrong to be annoyed by a parent allowing audible device sound. Interleaved rationales remain unattributed.

Brad: cash discounts everywhere
Brad proposes that every place offer a cash discount, later specifying three percent. His reasons include credit-card information theft, paper money and casino use. The others object to subsidizing cash users and challenge the reasoning. This proposal draws genuine disagreement, unlike the earlier mock opposition.
