Camping Collaboration

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise and rules

You are headed to Warden State Forest, a sprawling pinewood forest about an hour outside of Philly.
Like last time, you will collect camping gear and explain how you will use it to survive wilderness scenarios. But this time you will face each scenario together as a group.
persistent equipment: You can reuse them. This time, this is what's in your gear. And you can use more than one tool at a time, like mix and mash.; initial announcement: You're not getting any new items.; later exceptions: target: skills; consumable qualification: You don't lose a hatchet because you use the hatchet. You still have the casings the emergency food rations were in, but you don't have the food inside because you ate that.
If he wins with the tent, then he's going to get three points and then two points and then one point. So you get the most points for having the best contribution, both in terms of will you stay alive because of it? And also, did you have a funny explanation that I enjoyed?
I will rank your answers both in terms of effectiveness and entertainment value.

Rules: Ethan, as an Eagle Scout, you are incredibly resourceful. At any time, you can scavenge to find one additional item of your choosing from the list. Ryan, despite being a bit of a scatterbrain, you're incredibly lucky. At any time, you may reach into your pocket and discover you have a mystery item. And Kenny, as a telecommunications professional with some clout as an Emmy nominee, you may at any time call for the assistance of Harrison Ford. Now, there is no clearing for him to land his helicopter, so he cannot rescue you, but he can parachute down anything you want. It does not have to be from the list. You get to keep it. And you can use more than one tool at a time, like mix and mash. Final state summary: Ethan thought he was almost to the camp when he kind of collapsed from exhaustion, but he was just going in circles. So he's like 10 feet from you at most.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

I could use my multi-tool to get myself enough sticks to build a little small shelter, and I'll be safe, whether Ethan shares his tent or not. Answer qualification: I got a knife built into the multi-tool. There's a saw built into that thing I've got.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

I didn't take wilderness survival, and I don't know anything about that, but I can kind of stand behind Kenny while he's doing that, and I can use my sturdy knife and do whatever he's doing with his shitty multi-tool and just kind of copy and paste. Answer qualification: I'm not using the hatchet here. Raw respondent mention: Brian, I got to say, you were so poised to get at one point here, just being a copycat.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

Everyone said that I successfully built a shelter last time. I'm just hanging out in it, right? If you don't let me in, I will hit you with the hatchet in your head till you die. I will knife Ethan and I will hatchet Kenny. Now that I can use that every time I'm lighting your tent on fire with a camp stove, probably. I also lassoed Kenny with the paracord and or rope, if I can do that. I also ate my food rations and didn't share.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

I will let you into the shelter if you give me a tool. I'm going to use my Eagle Scout skills to get a windproof lighter and light you on fire. We're going to take the multi-tool and we're going to duct tape it to a tree so that it will be a lightning rod. I believe I have repair tape. Selection or action: windproof lighter Answer qualification: I opened up the deal to everyone.

Harrison Ford in a costume

Well, first off, I'm calling Harrison Ford at this point. Yeah, can I just get Harrison Ford? But I want him dressed as Indiana Jones. Choice: Harrison Ford in a costume Answer qualification: For the record, it's Harrison Ford. It's not a part he played. It's a working whip.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

And I'm sharing some with Harrison Ford because we want a hydrated champion. Answer qualification: He would have wanted some water when he was having the heart attack.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

I offer him some of my food. If you beat this bear, I will cook something up on my camp stove that definitely works. Medicingly, I'm like, if you don't kill this bear, I'm going to kill you. Answer qualification: Well, I was going to give him some food and then you said I didn't have any. So yeah, now I'm going to threaten him. I'm going to check the helicopter, see if there's food in there. Adjudication verdict: What you've done is done. I'm just telling you the outcome of your own words.

Scores: Kenny: 3; Ryan: 2; Ethan: 1 Final state summary: So what happened is there is a crashed helicopter several yards away. Harrison Ford lands. He uses his costume whip to whip at the bear. It gets scared off. Ryan's threatening him the whole time. And then he has a heart attack and dies. Rules: You don't lose a hatchet because you use the hatchet. You still have the casings the emergency food rations were in, but you don't have the food inside because you ate that. Adjudication: The goal was to survive the bear, not to coddle Harrison Ford.

Well, I'm gonna use my water filter to fill Ethan's water bottle up with fresh water. I'm filtering that water, and it's just dripping into my mouth. I'm following the stream. Let's put him in the water and use him as a raft. Answer qualification: You're not gonna get to Ethan, because I've got a whip to keep you back.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

I'm gonna take my windproof lighter, and I'm gonna light up this map, and you guys can go to hell. I think it would be more respectful to Harrison Ford if we used my repair tape to mummify him. And then he can belong in a museum. While he's up there, I grab some brush, and I use the windproof lighter to start a fire at the bottom of the tree.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Recorded conversation

Ethan has to agree to that, and I will definitely stab him. What if I kind of, like, paracord up to the top of a tree, and I kind of, like, scout around, and I'm like, I can then probably see civilization. I kind of think if you light up the fire, though, I think I could kind of Spider-Man to the next tree. If you don't light me on fire, we could oar down the stream. Curt, I jump to another tree.

How this one works

How it works

In this game, I will give you a brief, but definitely good description of a movie.
It will be your job to tell me if that movie did better or worse in the box office than
Rocky V.
If you buzz in and get it wrong, you lose a point.
If you buzz in and get it right, you gain a point.
You get a bonus point if you can tell me what the movie was.
If you're right, you gain five points and take away anyone else's chance to do so.
You will not lose points for guessing wrong on the big buzz in, but you only get to big
buzz in once in the whole game.

Source excerpt ↗ 49:41

How this one works

How it works

As every Rocky fan knows, Rocky Balboa famously owns a pair of pet turtles.
They're a panel of elite cold-blooded investors, and you're standing before them asking for cold,
hard cash.
You haven't actually invented anything.
Instead, you'll take something that's been around forever, something forgotten, underused,
underappreciated, or simply taken for granted, and rebranded as if it were launching today.
Give it a shiny new name, a modern marketing spin, and convince the turtles it's the next
big thing.
Once the investment round is complete, the turtles will have a chance to buzz in and guess
what your product actually is.

Prompt

Your mission is to pitch a revolutionary new business.

Scoring

To earn a point for your pitch, at least two of three turtles must agree to invest.
If the herd buys in, you score a point.
If someone correctly identifies the original item, both the swimmer and the turtle who
guessed it earn a point.

A winner is actually on the record.

Round context

Correct answer: a water bottle
Adjudication: No investment majority: all three turtles decline.

View source wording — how it was explained on the show

Activity premise: As every Rocky fan knows, Rocky Balboa famously owns a pair of pet turtles.; They're a panel of elite cold-blooded investors, and you're standing before them asking for cold,; hard cash.
Scoring mechanism: To earn a point for your pitch, at least two of three turtles must agree to invest.; If the herd buys in, you score a point.; If someone correctly identifies the original item, both the swimmer and the turtle who; guessed it earn a point.
Method: Once the investment round is complete, the turtles will have a chance to buzz in and guess; what your product actually is.
Winner statement: Katie takes the big win.
Result qualification: Curtis somehow got second place, so that's confusing.
Ryan: “Anna, you have got the point for enough turtles invested, mostly because Curt got peer pressured and he gets nervous.”
Ryan: “You've got the point.”
Ryan: “So, Hannah, we're going to give you a half point, because I don't think you quite got it, but you got close enough.”
Ryan: “Katie takes the big win.”
Ryan: “I lost, and that feels right.”
Katie wins; Curtis finishes second; Ryan is the loser. No final numeric scoreboard is stated.
Your mission is to pitch a revolutionary new business.
As every Rocky fan knows, Rocky Balboa famously owns a pair of pet turtles.
They're a panel of elite cold-blooded investors, and you're standing before them asking for cold,
hard cash.
You haven't actually invented anything.
Instead, you'll take something that's been around forever, something forgotten, underused,
underappreciated, or simply taken for granted, and rebranded as if it were launching today.
Give it a shiny new name, a modern marketing spin, and convince the turtles it's the next
big thing.
Once the investment round is complete, the turtles will have a chance to buzz in and guess
what your product actually is.
To earn a point for your pitch, at least two of three turtles must agree to invest.
If the herd buys in, you score a point.
If someone correctly identifies the original item, both the swimmer and the turtle who
guessed it earn a point.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Apollo Creed is played by Carl Weathers, it turns out. I think if I understood Creed 3, he is the adopted father of Adonis. I think he mostly sees Apollo as this, you know, just a dad who's always been dead. The only trait I have about Apollo is that he was obviously very stubborn in a way that Adonis is, because it sounds like he was insistent on sticking with the fight, even when Rocky was certain they should have ended it.

Prompt item: As Creed slowly recovers, Bianca grows ever more pregnant. Ivan is happy to be welcomed back into polite Russian society. But Victor chafes at these bellwether bitches. Just as Rocky reenters Creed's life, Amara arrives too. So this is going to take us up to about hour 23 where Bianca leaves Adonis just totally alone crying with a baby.

Important beats: So, for me, I, there was no suspense in this for me. Imagine that Creed was learning that his cat was going to be deaf. I wanted to punch Rocky, too, but I wanted him to call his son. It's a concussion thing.

So, there's no upper limit. You have to be at least 200 pounds, which I doubt Michael B. Jordan ever is, but as long as you're 200, you can fight for the heavyweight.

Question: I do have a question about boxing regulations.
Action: So I feel like this was a great moment where they could have emphasized Rocky as the killer trainer who like knows what he's doing. Like, we need him to be like, I'm in charge and this is what you need to do.
Important beats: I gotta tell you though, like going back to Sneha's original point, like I don't think there is any single criticism we could make that is better than they're going to Russia. Why are you in the desert? It does sort of fall flat because it does seem like Adonis is still the one with, other than size, all the advantages.

Prompt item: It's fight night and Victor has height, weight, and home field advantage. But Rocky's got Creed fighting smart. Unaccustomed to fighting past four rounds, Victor goes down and Ivan waves the white flag. Creed says hi to dad's grave and Rocky says goodbye to this franchise.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailableSource excerpt ↗ 50:32

Context

I'm curious for both of you, calling this an MVP moment, a highlight, does this feel like a really satisfying ending climax of this film?

More of this contribution

Important beats: The question is, does Drago throw in the towel for his son because he loves him and he sees danger and he wants to be a protector? Or does he see that he's already lost the high society he wants, so no sense losing the son. And we get the bonus bit of them running together at the end of the movie. And I think I think from a fight standpoint, it's not a satisfying climax to the fight. But from like a movie arc standpoint, I thought it was very, for exactly the points that Sneha brought up. He wants his dad's love and he knows it now forever. It's the turning point.

WHAT THEY BROUGHT

SnehaSource excerpt ↗ 1:03:46

Submission

My montage is a dream sequence.

More of this contribution

Important beats: A dream sequence where we see parallels between Rocky, Drago, Cree Jr., and Drago Jr. I think in this one, Michael B. Jordan is the one going up and down the Philadelphia, the rocky stairs. And then Drago is just sitting at the top, just watching the tourists. And then Drago ends up working out at the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium in Philly. The city of Philadelphia burns down. Because of their fans.
Answer qualification: I think the lighting in this dream sequence would be the sepia that, you know, that yellow tone to differentiate between why this is a dream and not reality. That's how I would differentiate.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Design choice

This is like Michael B. Jordan, you know, has a desk job and his, his whole thing is to be a boxer like his dad. But his mom in this reality is smart and doesn't let him because she gets the, she gets the fucking risk.

Method: So like more of like a count rather than a progression.
Important beats: She offers them a reasonable raise and they go, look, we're very important to the city. So they want a huge raise and she's like, no, I've given you a reasonable raise. And as soon as she shuts the deal down, then Anne calls and basically says the exact same thing he does. And the montage is just people tripping throughout Pawnee.
Ending or payoff: By the end of it, people are like tripping off of bridges and stuff. And it's just a nightmare.
Answer qualification: Anne is her best friend. She's like, for some reason, Anne was doing the research here and she just calls.

Submission

And it is by Weird Al and it is called Hardware Store.

Response context: I bought some backer rod and some caulk and I filled the gap. A lot of trial and error.
Premise: And so I think my montage would be me going from a kind of weakling, incapable of doing anything with his hands, kind of a guy, you know, go from me watching the YouTube video to trying to do the thing.
Important beats: I'm going to have a tool belt and it's not going to fit. And I'll watch the video again and it'll look easy. And then I'll go do exactly what they said, but it just will not function even though I did exactly what they, like all of that will be in there.
Ending or payoff: It'll start with me struggling. I'll slowly get better and by the end of it, I will be on a roof completely redoing the whole roof by myself and there will be a beautiful drone shot of me being a success.

Ryan: “So much so that they want us to pitch C4, which is, I guess, what they call it. They only had two requirements. It has to star Amara Creed. And don't make it all long and curdy. Apparently, these executives have the attention span of a squirrel and want something quick they can watch while doom scrolling. They asked if a trailer would work.

The crowd gets the T-shirt cannons

Ryan proposes giving the crowd projectiles to pop Santa and release candy. Curtis develops his T-shirt-cannon idea into handing the cannons to the crowd; the shirts would bounce down before the balloon eventually pops like a piñata. This is fictional parade planning.

We are going to go through a list of positive traits in a potential mate and come up with the best possible test to verify it. Oh, this is crazy. I can't wait to see how this goes. This is going to be great. I want to mention something from my relationship.
Which is not a sly question, by the way.
Yeah, I think this is a great question.
Like, she doesn't pause at all to be like, is that a problematic question?
Yeah, this is a great question.
It's just like if there was a body, would they pick up a shovel or would they call the cops?
I feel like without coming like straight out and asking the question, I feel like there are trust.
Ryan needs to answer.
Also, it sounds less like Brad is trying to get the answer to a question and more like he's genuinely trying to...
I don't think being a klepto points you in that direction, though.

Correct.

Thanksgiving calorie challenge

Source excerpt ↗ 46:07–57:26

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise

So in the spirit of Thanksgiving this Thursday, we are going to build a delicious Thanksgiving feast.

How it works

So how this is going to work, I've got 11 crazy, overindulgent Thanksgiving foods, and you all are going to decide whether you're going to put that on your plate or not when you walk through the buffet. The goal is to have the most calories consumed by the end of your meal. Not a problem. However, if you surpass 10,000 calories... 10,000? You die. And you won't win.
So you want to beat everybody else. You want to eat the most calories, but if you go too far, that's no good. Do I have to enjoy my meal, or is it like I'm just going for the caloric thing? You can play this how you want. You can just go off vibes and be like, I like the sound of that. I'm going to eat that in real life. Or you can go on strategic, you know, trying to pick and choose what's going to make sense. You can play this however you want. How many items are there? There are 11. 11. 11. And again, you all get to decide whether to put this on your plate every round.

Scoring

It's one of 11 items. So all 11 items you're going to put on your plate or not, and then we're going to add up the calories.

The Diva, Hoops Star, and Freaky Genius

Source excerpt ↗ 1:20:26

Led by Ryan

How this one works

Rules

Each round will feature three roles.
So you're going to have a diva, a hoop star and a freaky genius to assign to each role.
You won't see the roles all at once.
They will be revealed one at a time.
Once you assign a character to a role, you can't reuse them.
Your opponent also cannot assign that character to that role.
The third role will automatically be filled with whatever you didn't pick.
You can end up with the same character for the third role for both.
So we'll be drafting in snake style, of course.

Recorded activity context

In High School Musical, both the movie and the franchise, characters don't have to choose. But here in the real world, people have strengths and weaknesses. So in this game, you'll have to make some real choices.

Adjudication: I think you had all three good answers. It was really close. But, Dani, you still, you won me over on all three counts.

View source wording — how it was explained on the show

Activity request: You'll take turns choosing which of the following characters best fits each role.
Rules: Each round will feature three roles. So you're going to have a diva, a hoop star and a freaky genius to assign to each role. You won't see the roles all at once. They will be revealed one at a time. Once you assign a character to a role, you can't reuse them. Your opponent also cannot assign that character to that role. The third role will automatically be filled with whatever you didn't pick. You can end up with the same character for the third role for both. So we'll be drafting in snake style, of course.
Answer qualification: Just to be clear, all of these are non-gendered.
Scoring mechanism: So Curt does get two points for the first round, but I need time to turn around. Well, you win the explanation, so you definitely get a point. Not a real point, but a sympathy fake point for your honesty.
Winner statement: But, Curt, you are the loser, which means as a punishment, you have to tell us one thing.

Guessing Curtis’s marshmallow count

Led by Curtis

Curtis asks the others to guess the result of an earlier personal experiment inspired by the episode. This is a spoken guessing opportunity, not a live demonstration or an invitation to repeat it. He later says attempting it was foolish, regrets it, and explicitly warns listeners not to try it. No score or winner is announced.

Two estimates, then the reveal

Brad guesses twelve. Ryan describes eighteen comfortably and makes nineteen his final maximum guess, confirmed in the recording. Curtis reveals eight and explains that his husband counted. The ensuing “overshot” versus “undershot” exchange compares the guesses with that result and does not reopen the round.

To Catch a Literal Predator

Led by Ryan

Ryan leads Curtis and Brad through a collaborative improvised scenario. They can add details until those details conflict with what has already been established, but Ryan decides the results. He adds that they cannot use a ready-made killing device for the target animal. There are no dice, points or individual winner. The mouse problem develops into a second task involving the Gila monster introduced along the way.

First task: catch a mouse

The setting becomes an operating restaurant. Curtis and Brad develop suggestions together while Ryan accepts, rejects or qualifies them. The recording identifies the principal proposal voices below; other unattributed turns remain group contributions.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Food, films and a hawk

A mousetrap suggestion prompts the added rule against ready-made killing devices. Peanut butter leads Curtis to propose a picture of the moon in a cage, based on the cheese joke. Brad proposes a film lure, first called Mousetrap and then corrected in discussion to Mouse Hunt. Curtis proposes hiring a hawk; it is permitted, though the later story says they never obtained one.

Curtis proposes transparent chef hats after the Ratatouille reference, clarified as shower-cap-like headwear. Ryan rules that they have changed the hats without solving the mouse problem and tells them to continue.

A matzah home for Johnny Cheddar

Curtis introduces a Gila monster but moves away from that capture strategy; because it was mentioned, the animal remains in the fictional restaurant. The group develops a matzah house with cream-cheese mortar, after a food-preference digression. Curtis is explicitly associated with the house idea. They decide to house the mouse in the kitchen and put it on the payroll as a consultant. The name discussion moves through Chuck E. Cheese and Jason H. Cheese before settling on Johnny Cheddar.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

An initial explanation leaves the expert to the side while the others watch from above. That is revised: they become Batman, with the expert clinging to them like Vicky Vale, so the expert can close the door when they swoop down. The revision is accepted, and Ryan congratulates them on completing the task.

Rank the Ratings

Led by Curtis

Curtis describes shows from the 2001–2002 television season. Dani and Ryan race to name each show; whoever Curtis hears correctly first earns the identification point. Both independently decide whether it rated better or worse than Frasier. Before the clues, each guesses Frasier’s own rank: Dani 9, Ryan 40. Curtis later subtracts the distance from the actual rank from their subtotals. The television rankings below are the answers supplied in the game.

An April Fool’s feud with Cam Winston

Led by Frank

Frank brings a fictional feud with ChatGPT role-playing Cam Winston. Two prepared responses set the scene before the group supplies live retaliation prompts. A suggested goal is to make the AI concede that it has been bested. A proposal to escalate to a nuclear explosion is challenged; it is not the actual ending. The group assigns no numerical points and eventually stops without a declared winner.

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.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

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.”

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

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.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

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.

At 20:22, during the episode recap, Hannah asks the others to spell sycophant after discussion of a historical spelling-bee winner. Brad starts “S-I-C-K” before being stopped; he later explains that he intended to name random letters as a joke. Ryan spells “S-Y-C-O-P-H-A-N-T” and is accepted. His prize is the pride of beating Brad. “All right, continue” closes the aside and the recap resumes. This is separate from Ryan’s later ranked-word game.

At 55:37, after ratings, “Ryan, take it away” introduces the main game. Ryan has ranked twenty-five words by how often he misspells them or how strongly he disagrees with their spelling, taking the higher rank. His initial proposal asks the players to invent words from anywhere; before play starts, the group changes that rule. Ryan supplies words, and Hannah and Curtis try both to spell each one and classify his reason. Points depend on the ranking, with partial credit announced for getting only one task right. The spoken rule and each actual award are retained without deriving missing values.

How this one works

Curtis hosts a retirement-party character draft for Kenny, Ryan, Brad and himself. Kenny starts and chooses Ryan to follow; Ryan chooses Brad, leaving Curtis last. That order then snakes back. Each participant drafts two Cheers characters, followed by two selections from the expanded pool. Each later pick also brings an unchosen hidden partner. Brad judges the completed parties and declares Kenny the winner. No numerical scores are established.

The chosen order is Kenny—Coach, Ryan—Woody, Brad—Norm, Curtis—Cliff Clavin; the snake turns with Curtis—Carla, Brad—Lilith, Ryan—Sam, Kenny—Rebecca. Curtis’s Cliff and Carla choices are two distinct drafting obligations within the same physical contribution.

Second phase: two more picks and hidden partners

Kenny chooses Frasier and receives Diane; Ryan chooses Frank and receives Smokey; Brad chooses BB and receives Moose; Curtis chooses Ronnie and receives David. On the return, Curtis chooses Roz and receives Tiny; Brad chooses Noel and receives Eve; Ryan chooses Daphne and receives Freddy; Kenny chooses Niles and receives old Lilith. The bonus characters are allocated rather than selected. Source spellings and pairings remain in the preserved records.

Kenny wins the retirement-party comparison

After the draft closes, Brad judges the other parties, places Curtis third and chooses Kenny. Kenny receives the congratulations. Earlier boasts, Brad’s acknowledgment of his own worst roster and the joking proposal to invert Brad’s ranking remain distinct from this enacted result; no final numerical totals are supplied.

KACL versus KPXY

The team initially chooses KPXY. Curtis proposes KACL, but the recording confirms his final spoken choice in the later exchange as KPXY. Ryan nevertheless credits a KACL change and awards one point while rejecting the guessed context. Literal choice and credited answer remain distinct. The explanation concerns real-life radio stations and antenna height. Brad gives both Nevada guesses in the side exchange; North Dakota is supplied as the correction.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Frasier versus Kramer

Curtis describes Frasier expanding from Cheers into Frasier and its later return, then chooses Frasier. Ryan accepts the context but says the correct contender is Kramer, awarding one context point and announcing a total of two. The recording confirms Curtis as the final respondent. Choice and context obligations remain separate.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Seattle, Boston or Chicago

The team chooses Seattle, reasoning about where Frasier grew up or lived. Ryan reveals Chicago and explains that he means NBA expansion teams in the city. The retrospective score check gives no point and leaves the total at two. These are the game’s stated facts, not independently verified sports history.

Ryan says Brad and Curtis won. He then discloses the remaining question—men’s versus women’s waistlines from 1999 to 2016—without playing it. It is not a ninth enacted round.

Well, we normally start our wrap-up discussion with character MVP, but we thought it might be a little bit more fun to do a game tonight. If you're familiar with Merry Fuck Kill. Yes. What we're doing, we're going to choose one of the people to fight, one to become, and one to elect as it is in the election year. Oh. So, we'll start out with guest stars. Who would we like to fight the most of the guest stars? The person to fight is Provost Sharma. How wonderful. I feel like that guy, you can't like Honey Buns that much and expect Fisticuffs not to come out. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think this is the obvious choice. I disagree, but okay. It's a good choice. Who's your choice? Who's your choice? Oh, mine was the easiest one I could ever pick. Vince Wolfark. Okay. Why? Because you want to lose the fight? Let's resolve. I want to lose the fight, okay? He played for an okay football team for a couple years. I could easily take him on. His arm weighs more than me. No, it doesn't. I didn't know who you were talking about. I thought you were talking about that guy in classic Frasier Raw's stuff with his dad or whatever. I hope that guy was. Pretty sure Ryan has not seen that or anywhere close to that yet. I don't know who you're talking about. I don't know who this is, but I'm so excited by your excitement. It was the guy with the funny name. Oh, Wally Wiswall. Wally Wiswall. Yeah. Yes, I thought that's who you meant when you said Wolfork. No, Vince Wolfork. Hey, Brad, where to pronounce it? That's exciting. Yeah, I'm very proud of myself. He's in the bowling episode. I'm certain Brad took like 20 minutes before this and just started practicing. That name over and over again. Still got it wrong the first time. It's really second time. That's really good for you. So who are you fighting, Ryan? I had to look up her name. I don't remember how it's pronounced. I know it's just not what it looks like. It's spelled Siobhan. Oh, Siobhan. Siobhan. Siobhan. That's right. Frasier's date from the June episode. You know what? I actually considered her. Yeah, because she showed up so late and I was indignant about it. It was insane. Yeah, that's a good pick. I knew the provost would be off the board, so I made sure that was the other reason I had her. All right. What about who would you like to become from the guest star list? Oh, can I go first? Yes. No, I'm going first. Okay, fine. I want to be Vince Wilfork, obviously. We're on multiple Super Bowls. By the way, I made myself a list of all the prominent guest stars to be aware of for this so I could really pick. Didn't even consider that he would be on the list. Then right, then right, football guy down. Forgot that person existed immediately. Paris, you have to go and I'll just go last to this point. I mean, obviously I want to be Smokey. Are you kidding? Oh, God. No, no, no, no, no. Not my scene. Defend. She's a riot. She's the best. She doesn't have a ton of lines. She's not like prominently showing. I feel like the further she is from this family, the better for her. All you got to do to become her is smoke a lot more and talk a lot less. Which is very doable for me. Yeah, that's in range. Extremely achievable. All right, Brad, I got to know. What's your big reveal? One, that's not who I thought you were going to say, Curtis. And two, I'm scared. Who do you think I was going to say? Andrew Daly. Oh, I could never be him. That is correct. I mean, I would love to, but he's- I like that you go by his formal name. I would clearly, clearly the character that I'm the most like already. And so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch is Moose. You're named after a dessert. You're like a Jewish Moose. Yeah. I don't even know if he counted as a guest star, though. He's like right on the bubble. He's right on the bubble. But I don't consider him a main character. No, I would say, yeah, I would say anybody who is not a- I think it's fine to include recurring in this. Like anybody who's not a main cast character. He's got to be this favorite character, though. Definitely. He's definitely like right on that cusp. Yeah. If they made him a main character during the next season, it wouldn't surprise me. Sure. Yeah. So why did you want to be Moose? Because he's cool. He's charming. He's funny. He doesn't- No one really listens to him, just like me. You just like that he talks to a girl at the end. That he finally talks to a girl who's out of his league? Yes. My dream every day of the week? Yes. I had a- I had a- As an alt, I had June. What was your powder room? I thought she was high up on my list of people. I would love to be able to like talk to one person and just be everything that they want to be and then immediately switch and talk to another person. Same boat. Like that seemed like such a cool skill she had. Yeah, no, she is definitely a top contender for somebody you'd want to be. She's one of those people that is like genuinely interesting. She's fun. But she's also like so sure of herself. Like she's so comfortable in her own skin. I don't know what that's like. Imagine? Could you imagine? I can't. I'm living vicariously through June. I don't know what that is. We all are. We all are. Except Brad, who's living through Moose. I think our audience at this point knows us well enough to know that that is very appropriate. Yes. Well, that said, last but not least, who would you like to elect of the guest stars? Oh, boy. This was a super weird category to add. Why did you add this one? Oh, because I don't read the show notes. Can I go first this time? I couldn't go first. You may. Thank you. For me. Cut in. For me. And I'll explain first why I picked this person before I even say who it is. This is the most Brad way to answer this. Yeah. Correct. I'm a storyteller. I watched this episode of the show in reverse order. So the first episode to me was utterly confusing. There was only one person that really made any sense to me, and it's why I would like to elect her. That's Roz. Roz came and was just classic Roz. She was in four minutes. She did what she needed to do. She's the only person that hasn't really changed. She pretty much looks exactly the same. So I went with Roz. Damn it. That feels good. You wanted to elect her because she's familiar. Yeah. Yes. I want to say that's a stupid reason to elect somebody, but honestly, that's one of the better reasons people pick for why they elect somebody. For elections? Yes. Correct. I mean, funny name. Guys, funny name. Quick point of order. The person I initially picked has been said for another category. Do I have to pick somebody new? I think that's fine. I don't think so, but we'll see if you're an answer. If you're an answer, if you're an answer, if you're an answer, you're stupid, then yeah. You know what? You know what? This person has not been chosen for anything yet, so I am going to say Andy Daly. I'm just going to go for it. Oh, of course. Oh, no. You took mine. Oh, I'm sorry. I think we have the same one. No. I'll pick somebody else. Ryan, you go second. I also have a backup if that helps. I'm supposed to go last. So you go ahead and pick Andrew Daly and tell us why. Well, obviously you want to take Andy Daly. He's an incredible liar, which is the only thing that matters when you're an elected official. That is correct. Oh, my God. That's so true. I didn't even think about that. He is a fantastic liar. A seamless two-face. But he seems like genuine and he seems like- Friendly and approachable. Yeah. He's not like a malicious liar. A politician, baby. All to the earth. Oh, my God. I shouldn't let you have him. That sounds way grosser. I've gone sick. I wish I was taking this for this episode. Right after your wedding, Curt. Calm down. To be clear, I meant it in both contexts. Curt, who was yours? This racism drink really goes to my head. Again, hurt racing. Brad's best work of the podcast. So who am I going to elect? I'm going to elect Tiny. You keep it together, Smokey. Okay. Oh. You mean Verice this beef and I'm still holding on to that. Way to go. Well, that's the point. I don't know that we get a lot of time with Tiny. I don't know that we get a lot of it. Not enough. Like, we don't have a clear sense of who Tiny is in his own right. But he reminds me of Barista Steve. And Barista Steve is a man I want in charge of things. Amen. A fucking man. So, you know, let's go. Amen. Tiny for president. Incredible. I want a tiny president. My alt was the fake Dean. Who's Dean? Oh, you're talking about the waiter. Yes. Waiter. That waiter. Oh, man. Yeah. I think his name was Kevin. I'm in charge of something. Maybe not like president, but he'd make a great, like, I don't know, state house member. He's on the cabinet. Yeah. Secretary of Finance. I don't know. Whatever. It doesn't matter. If you guys want to get high later, just let me know. All right. Let's move on to the main cast. In addition to you all assigning who from the main cast you would like to fight, become, and elect, I'm also going to say which of the three of you I would like to fight, become, and elect. Oh. Okay. Well. This is very exciting. Our answers are going to get real weird on this one because there's only six choices and I feel like we're going to have the same ones for ones and have to change. We'll do it rapid fire and then we'll move on. Rapid fire is great. Yeah. I don't think we need a lot of explanation. All right. Who do you want to fight? Brad. Me too. I went the opposite for my first one. Someone that I can easily beat and that's David. Yeah. David's the answer. It will not be hard to win and he deserved to get punched. so But I mean, I mean, obviously, Anumbrill mentioned a Freddy. Obviously. Yeah. I mean, the only problem with him is he would win if I fought him. I don't know about you, Brad, but I know I can take him. No problem. Yes. I agree with you, Ryan. I can too. No, no. Neither of you could take Freddy. I think both of you could take the British guy who plays Freddy. I don't think neither of you could take Freddy. All right. Well, obviously, I would like to fight Brad for the exact same reason. I know I could take him. False, but good try. Also, just to be clear, you could take me too. Yeah. I really came down to a different category to assign that last one. There you go. All right. Who would you most like to become from the main cast? Again, another character that I'm 10 minutes away from becoming, Alan. I hate to agree with Brad on two in a row. That was going to be my choice because Alan's amazing. But just to be contrary, I'm going to say I want to be Eve because she's another person that kind of does whatever she wants. And now she's got like a rich friend who just floats her. Like, that's the life I want. You guys are both insane. There is only one answer, and it is Frasier. He's rich. He actually seems kind of comfortable with himself. Check his age. Sure. You're going to be rich for like another couple years. You just chose Alan. That was Brad. Oh, okay. I went young. You went Eve, who's very broke. She's a single mom with a baby. Yeah. Out of your mind? Ready. He's a hot, young firefighter. He's not that hot. He's a douche. That's fine. I don't believe he's a good firefighter either. Definitely not. There are no good choices. Not in this show. It's definitely this version of Frasier. 100%. I thought about Olivia, except that you can see her real problems when she's so excited about ice cream and going ice skating. And she was a star. She was a star, and I'm pretty sure if you put all her time together, it equaled less than an episode. Yeah. That doesn't matter. I assume she has a life outside of the episode. That's probably a plus, actually, for her. But now I know who you are going to become. I'm going to tell you who I'm going to become, and then I will roll right into who I will elect, because obviously one will reveal the other. That makes sense. It could be a mix. I don't know. So I'm going to choose to become my own husband, Ryan Sansone. Because who wouldn't want to spend a day in their significant other shoes just feeling it out, so to speak? Well, should we talk about our new podcast, Courtney Becomes Ryan, a report series? No, thank you. I've got to be honest. Obviously, the only right answer. I was genuinely nervous. It was 50-50. Then I'm going to put myself in your right and dangly body? No, thank you. He's just so much limb. I've seen him do his noodle dance, okay? Look, I want you all to show me a little more respect, because I'm pretty sure I'm your president now. Oh, yes. You're our president now. And it is because, as you know, famously, we were once roommates prior to being just people who knew each other. And our roommate agreement, which is not something we had to have. This is a drafted document that you created. Classic Curtis. Classic Curtis. I would say upwards of three-page document to me, unprompted, and said, these are the terms and conditions of us becoming roommates. That was, you saw PTSD on paper. Yeah. And honestly, blessing. I knew exactly what I was getting into. I would move, I would sooner move back in with Curtis than I would stay in this house. He's a phenomenal roommate. But I got news for you, if you want to move back in with me, you're going to need a lawyer to sign a new document. I know, because you're a married man now. It's fine. We both went our separate ways and got husbands. It was a stupid choice. We're both going to regret it someday. But ultimately, yes, I would vote for you for president just because I've seen your work with documents. You can write the shit out of those. President doesn't have to do that. No, but they have to sign them, and he can do that, too. He's a nice signature. Also, let's be honest. I have to read them, and neither of you are going to be doing any of that. Amen. That's true. I would elect Frazier because he seems relatively smart. He's got the self-centeredness of a politician. He's wealthy. He'll pay for his own campaign. It just makes sense. I was going to elect Frazier for every single reason that Ryan said he would become Frazier. I thought those were all good reasons to elect him. This makes sense because we all know that Ryan's great ambition is to become president, so it's all lining up. No, it's my biggest nightmare, Brett Curtis. That it's going to happen. I just know it. It keeps me up at night. Thank you. We are eligible, so Sandstone 2028 or whatever. Everyone calm down. Can we talk about my choice? I was always going to take Alan. He's not eligible. What? They haven't put the age thing in yet. He's British. He's British. He's British. Oh, yeah. Did we say president? Was that established? It did not say president. It just doesn't elect. Yeah, I'm just electing him. Relax. Okay. Whatever. Comptroller Alan. Columbus, Ohio librarian. It doesn't matter what. I'm sorry, wait. Is Columbus electing librarians now? Yeah. Yes. Curt, who cares? We vote. Whatever, man. It's gerrymandered. It doesn't matter, Curt. He's old, which always helps for some reason in this day and age. He seems nice. He seems fun. Fucking monster to his kids. Absolute monster. And it's hidden. And you don't realize it, even when he says it outright. If that's not a politician, I don't know what is. Well, glory to America, I guess. And the Columbus Library. Some shady ships going down in that library system down in Columbus. It's so shady. It's amazing. It's great. It's incredible. Great service. Highly recommend.

Game / activity

A cleverly named murder mystery

Source excerpt ↗ 1:13:40–1:20:57

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise

We'll find out in a cleverly named murder mystery. In this game, each of us are going to introduce a name of a character to the scene. And based on that name alone, we're all going to identify their personality traits and their background. But amongst this crowd is a murderer. And it is going to be up to us to catch the killer. But how many innocent people might be wrongly imprisoned in the process?

How it works

As we reveal the names and the personalities, I'm going to reveal their status. Are they living, or have they been murdered? You're going to make that decision, okay. Do we talk about them? Yeah, you've got to get to know them before you find out if they die. It's dark. I think it's going to be great. Oh my god, this is going to be so tragic. Every time we come across a murdered person, we have to speculate on who the murderer might be. We have to send somebody to prison. Based on our speculation. And there's no coming out. Like, once we find out they weren't the murderer, because more people are dying, it doesn't matter, because we already put them in jail. Is there multiple murderers? There's only one. Is it one of the people we're naming?
So I've set this up so that I have put on a spreadsheet, for each name we're going to plug in, there is a column for whether or not they're murdered and whether or not they're the murderer. And I've made all those cells black with black text, so I can't see. I've rearranged them randomly. So I can't see who's being murdered and who's going to be the murderer. I will reveal it as we go.
All of us. We can, the three of us will vote.

Scoring

I unfortunately think this person is going to get murdered. Oh, interesting. Is that a, well, I don't want to, is that a, well, you, I, you, it doesn't matter whether you guessed that or not. You don't get any points for, for guessing correctly, but I'm going to say that in this case, uh, this guy, I don't think he's a likely suspect.

Recorded outcome

And we caught the murderer. Oh, it only took us 10 attempts. Wow.

However, she is innocent. Only from this series of murders. Only from this. Well, you're not going to believe how we know. She did. It turns out that before she could even be arrested, she was found dead in her office. So, yeah. You know what? You know what? No, it's fine. We did the right thing. We did the right thing. And I'm questioning at this point whether or not the murderer is really an evildoer. I think that maybe they're doing something good for the world. Here's the thing.

good clarifying question mr sensor i'll let you know so happy that he gets to ask now i'll let you
know when i get to when i'm discounting his points because that will come up the dentist is kind of a
jaded person in a hallmark movie they would have no holiday spirit and they would be slowly won over by
supposed to give eight gifts and so the whole point is to get this person in the hanukkah spirit to give
what is the holiday spirit answer okay this person the real hanukkah spirit is to give a gift all eight
so what is going to be the moment that sort of pushes them both together yeah so great great question
of it i'm always like why did i do that we overpaid on hot chocolate and i guess this happened and then

Two truths and one false principled stand

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise

Curtis presents Two hills and a dot, the spoken title confirmed in the recording. Each host supplies three stands: two real and one false. The others identify the lie. Three rounds have explicit reveals, with no stated final scores or overall winner.

RESULT STATUS

No score or overall winner is recorded.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Curtis · Unexpected fees and a medical-price story

Curtis’s first stand concerns an unexpected dentist copay; the second concerns an Apple tax estimate and customer-service call. The third claims he declined a recommended medical procedure because he could not get a price. The third is revealed as the lie and is not established medical history. Brad gives the explicit third-option guess. In the late exchange, Brad says three was the lie and Ryan repeats it; this does not automatically establish a second independent scored success.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Brad · Handshakes, double dipping, and blackjack

Brad presents objections to handshakes, double dipping and people playing blackjack badly. Ryan gives the explicit third-option guess; the recording also confirms a second commitment to that option in the deliberation, without supplying a new speaker identity for that passage. Curtis asks for the reveal. Brad says the second statement is false: he does not care about double dipping. His casino-boss anecdote remains distinct from the revealed lie.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Ryan · Convertible desks, robot orders, and cartoon animals

Ryan presents objections to unused sit/stand desks, robot fast-food ordering and sexualized cartoon animals. Curtis supplies both the desk-posture anecdote and cat-robot drink-delivery story. Curtis chooses the third option. Brad asks to recall the options and chooses convertible desks. Ryan says both guesses are wrong and reveals robot ordering as the false objection: he prefers its accuracy. No named score or overall winner is inferred.

Candy War: four visitors and two tie-breaks

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise

Curtis gives the hosts four trick-or-treaters with specified costumes. Each host chooses a candy, and they vote on who offered the worst one; the overall loser will receive a prank. The voting language repeatedly slips between favorite and worst, so the final clarified decisions below take precedence over early reactions. Tied rounds use a war draw with one hidden candy followed by one revealed candy for each host.

Corrected procedure

A co-host corrects the tie-break procedure to require a hidden draw before the revealed one. The group judges the revealed candies, then learns what was hidden. A proposal to stop after three visitors is reversed, so the fourth visitor and second war are actually played.

Overall result

Curtis explicitly declares himself the overall loser and asks to be pranked. No positive overall winner or final numerical score is stated. The subsequent pranks are proposals, not enacted punishments.

RESULT STATUS

A result is recorded; a participant winner is not.

Preserve the stated loser, cooperative result or uncertainty; no individual winner or final total inferred.

Brad prepared his own costumes

Brad misunderstood the task and prepared costume-and-candy pairs: Where’s Waldo with Payday, Transformers with Sour Patch Kids and a lifeguard with Almond Joy. The others challenge his explanations and suggest alternatives. These are discarded setup examples; they do not add three rounds to the four actual visitors.

Two proposed punishments for Curtis

After Curtis declares that he has officially lost, he requests a prank. Brad proposes keeping him on a podcast game long after he is tired. Ryan proposes putting a balloon over his car after bad nights until balloons become unpleasant. The recording confirms the two presenters. Neither prank is performed in the source.

Ghost: Ryan’s Butterfinger loses

Brad gives a York Peppermint Patty, citing its shape and white center. Ryan gives a Butterfinger because ghosts are slippery and hard to catch. Curtis gives peanut M&Ms because he likes them and the ghost arrived first. The hosts argue about taste and voting direction. Brad’s statement that he would rather have peanut M&Ms initially confuses the count; the clarified result is a Butterfinger loss for Ryan.

Lucky Lottery: rewards, risks and mitigation

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise and order

Curtis asks the three hosts for an unlikely desired event, how they would enjoy it, an unlikely feared event and how they would limit its damage. Actual lottery money is excluded. The questions proceed in snake order; the participant-centered summaries below keep each person’s four answers together. A final vote changes from sequential to simultaneous, with no voting for yourself. The group is recommending one complete good-and-bad scenario to fictional Lady Luck, with the reward going to its named recipient. The owner confirms that Curtis and Ryan vote for Brad and that Brad is the accepted winner. No additional individual vote or numerical score is invented.

Decision

Choose the whole reward-and-risk scenario for its named host, not a reward to transfer to yourself or only a disliked outcome. The no-self-vote restriction remains when the voting format changes.

Owner-confirmed result

Curtis and Ryan vote for Brad; Brad claims victory, and the owner confirms that he actually wins. No additional vote or numerical score is inferred.

RESULT STATUS

A winner is actually on the record.

Explicit winner in approved reviewed content; no unstated final numerical total.

The vote gets confused

Curtis explains that each vote sends the reward and risk to its named host. After the switch to simultaneous voting, Curtis and Ryan audibly vote Brad. Brad makes the I win and champion claims, and the owner confirms the accepted result: Brad wins Lucky Lottery. The surrounding confusion and closing joke remain in the conversation, but they no longer leave the winner unresolved.

Ryan: Final Table, presidency and a disputed mitigation

Ryan wants to be the American guest panelist on a second season of Final Table. Asked about the show, he praises it and complains about its uncertain continuation. Asked how he would enjoy the role, he wants to redress what he considers unfair treatment of France and Spain in the first season. These are his recollections and opinions. His feared unlikely event is becoming president. For mitigation he first jokes that he would move the Ravens to Seattle, prompting objections that this does not address his fear; after clarification he says he will continue not voting. No actual appointment, show renewal or team move is asserted.

Curtis: physical fan mail, a takedown and ignored metrics

Curtis wants an actual physical fan letter or artwork, distinguishing it from email and social engagement. Asked how he would enjoy it, he says he would appreciate the artwork and file it away, never to lose it or admire it again. His feared outcome is the podcast being removed from Apple and Spotify for copyright infringement after someone discovers it. His comic mitigation is to ignore metrics and notifications. This is a hypothetical fear and joke, not evidence of an actual platform action.

Brad: The Bachelor, playoff frustration and perspective

Brad wants to be The Bachelor with twenty women competing for his attention. Asked how he would enjoy it, he imagines popcorn, lip gloss, dates and talking about himself. His feared outcome is years of strong Ravens regular seasons followed by playoff disappointment. Curtis objects that this is invalid as a newly unlikely fear, referring back to the podcast’s prior choice. Brad initially says never watch sports again, then proposes recognizing that sports are not the whole world. The others challenge how realistic that is. No actual booking or sports result is established.

Death or No Death

Led by Brad(ley)Ryan

How this one works

Premise

Ryan hosts, Brad assists as BJ and Curtis is the contestant. Six illustrated briefcases are offered: four safe outcomes and two fatal ones are announced. Five cases are actually opened. Curtis dies once, is revived, and ultimately receives an explicit win. Four days off is abandoned before its reveal. This is fictional comedy, not real danger or a medical intervention.

Briefcase menu

Jerry Springer, a Kraken Wave Runner, Rosie O’Donnell, four days off work, a Renaissance festival and a turkey club. Named hunks hold the cases as comic roles; they are not visiting podcast guests. Some names are inconsistently transcribed, so no canonical guest identities are created.

Outcome

Curtis wins after an actual fictional death and revival. No numeric points or perfect-survival record are assigned. The announced six choices are not six completed rounds.

RESULT STATUS

A winner is actually on the record.

Explicit winner in approved reviewed content; no unstated final numerical total.

Cheers, introductions and six fictional hunks

The show welcomes Curtis with cheers. A request for a repeated woo leads to another performance and reactions; Ryan requests the repeat and Curtis performs it. Brad, addressed as BJ, introduces the hunks by places of origin, prompting a joke when a country itself seems to be the hunk. The menu and pictures are then explained to Curtis.

The game closes after the declared win

The hosts wrap up Death or No Death after Curtis’s win. The unused option is not opened in this ending, and the episode forecast belongs to the following conversation.

The rest of the round record

1. Kraken Wave Runner — survives

Curtis asks for the second option, confirms the Kraken Wave Runner and hears its scenario. Despite the threatening setup, the reveal explicitly leaves him alive. Ryan narrates the outcome.

2. Renaissance festival — dies, then is revived

Curtis selects the Renaissance festival. BJ narrates that Bob poisons the popcorn and Curtis dies. The hosts call Dr. Kirstenstein, who says precisely, repeats it on request and sings. Curtis says he has been brought back by the power of song, then complains that the song made him queasy. Ryan physically performs Dr. Kirstenstein’s precisely and singing revival and requests the repeated precisely. The fictional doctor name does not assign the performance to Brad. This revival follows an actual fictional death; it does not erase that outcome.

3. Jerry Springer — survives

After returning to play, Curtis chooses the Jerry Springer case, with a correction of the holder’s name. A chair strikes him during the imagined show; he is prompted to gasp and the reveal explicitly says he survives. Curtis narrates the outcome.

4. Four days off is abandoned; Rosie O’Donnell — survives

Curtis initially chooses four days off work. The presenters coach him by explaining that each author wrote one death and discussing which author’s fatal case he has already encountered. Curtis says he was not tracking authorship, then switches to Rosie O’Donnell. The resulting Times Square stairs-and-car scenario ends in near-death survival. Curtis explains the one-death-per-author setup and narrates the Rosie outcome. Four days off receives no enacted outcome; no detailed fate is invented for it.

5. Turkey club — survives and wins

Curtis chooses the turkey club. The reveal dwells on dry ciabatta, no mayonnaise, two turkeys and a dry mouth, then describes sandwich heaven figuratively. The segment explicitly announces that Curtis wins. Ryan narrates the outcome and announces Curtis’s win. There is no numeric score.

The Santa plaus…ible: Christmas traditions

Led by Brad(ley)

How this one works

Premise

Brad asks Curtis, Ryan and Ethan to decide together whether country-specific Christmas traditions are real or invented. Correct answers earn Brad Bucks; wrong answers earn ridicule. Six prompts are visible in the source. Curtis introduces the quiz, whose owner-confirmed title wording is The Santa plaus…ible. Brad reads an online quiz attributed in the conversation to The Journal and discovers the answers as they play.

Rewards

Brad Bucks are jokingly redeemable on February 30th for extravagant prizes. The final announcement awards 50 Brad Bucks, but the source supplies no complete cumulative tally or individual scores.

RESULT STATUS

The competitive result is unresolved.

Correct/incorrect team answers and comic rewards are explicit. No overall winner, individual winner or final cumulative tally is established.

Norway: hiding brooms — false guess marked wrong

The group hears that Norwegian households hide brooms because of witches. Ethan jokingly splits his extra votes between yes and no, leaving the team’s answer false. Brad explicitly says they got it wrong and delivers a disappointed lecture. True is implied by the binary adjudication, not independently verified here.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Italy: the gift-delivering witch — true and correct

Ethan recalls a childhood puppet story about the witch in the prompt. The team follows him and answers true; Brad explicitly says they are right. The reward banter does not provide a clear numeric award. A later three-in-a-row remark does not establish an additional enacted question.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

India: lanterns and candles — majority answer wrong

The group discusses the lantern-and-candle claim. The adopted answer is true, while Ethan dissents. Brad reveals false, and Ethan points out that his objection was ignored. No individual points or compensating reward are inferred.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Brazil: extra December pay — false guess marked wrong

The players debate what twice monthly pay would mean and split their votes. Ethan’s answer becomes the deciding vote, giving false as the team answer. Brad responds that they got it wrong and resumes ridicule. The preview reports this adjudication without treating the quiz’s payroll claim as independently checked fact.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Estonia: a family sauna — false, with an unclear reveal

The team chooses false and asks for the answer. Brad reacts with frustrated ridicule, but the source has no clean spoken true/false reveal. The implied wrong answer remains qualified; the preview does not invent a more explicit adjudication.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Kenya: Santa’s transport — congratulations and 50 Brad Bucks

The prompt names Land Rovers, camels or bikes and includes the comic February 30th wording. Ethan stays with false, while the adopted answer is true. Brad congratulates the group and announces 50 Brad Bucks. The fifty is retained as the announced award without claiming a final cumulative or individual total.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Rank the Ratings: Team Freshman Dorms

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise and result

Curtis hosts for Brad, Ryan and Sneha as Team Freshman Dorms. Using ranks he attributes to Nielsen for the 2002–2003 season, he asks whether each offered show did better or worse than Frasier at number 28. Better means closer to number one. Six regulation rounds end with three correct and three wrong; a seventh, tiebreak round gives the team the win. Sneha proposes Freshman Dorms.

Answering

The three players discuss each show and submit a collective answer; majority votes can override an individual dissenter. The ranks are the host’s source readouts, not independently verified figures.

RESULT STATUS

A winner is actually on the record.

Source-reviewed whole-game verdict. Team members share a team victory; this is not an individual tied victory. Unknown final totals remain unstated.

Winner: Brad(ley)Ryan Sneha

Scrubs, season two — correct

The team chooses better, with Brad voting lower. Sneha argues the show was growing and Ryan agrees. Curtis reveals number 14, better than Frasier’s 28, so the team is correct.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Round context

Brad votes that Scrubs ranked lower than Frasier.
Ryan agrees with Sneha that Scrubs ranked better.

Extreme Makeover — incorrect

The players distinguish the plastic-surgery show from its home-renovation spinoff. Brad hopes it ranked worse for humanity’s sake; Ryan first votes better, followed by Sneha. Curtis reveals number 31, worse than Frasier, so the team is incorrect.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Round context

Brad votes that Extreme Makeover ranked worse for the sake of humanity.
Ryan casts the first better vote for Extreme Makeover, before Sneha is addressed.

Yes Dear, season three — incorrect

After jokes about an imagined British Yes My Dear, the players collectively choose worse. Ryan explicitly votes worse despite liking the show; Sneha follows the majority. Curtis reveals number 25, better than Frasier, making the team’s answer incorrect.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Meet My Folks — correct

Following the premise discussion, all three players choose worse. Curtis reveals number 101 and marks the answer correct. That readout is retained even though the introduction described a top 100 list; it is not silently changed to fit the setup. Individual utterances remain unattributed within the unanimous answer.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Law & Order SVU, season four — correct

The majority chooses better while Ryan objects to the repetitive series and votes worse. Curtis reveals number 15, so the majority is correct.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Round context

Ryan casts the worse vote for Law & Order SVU.

America’s Most Talented Kid — incorrect

Brad votes worse and Ryan votes better. Curtis says the team currently has three correct and two wrong, making Sneha the deciding vote for a win versus a tie. She chooses better. Number 63 is revealed, so the answer is wrong and regulation ends tied at three correct and three wrong.

This round boundary is recorded; no separately attributable answers are available inside it.

Round context

Brad casts the worse vote for America’s Most Talented Kid.
Ryan casts the better vote for America’s Most Talented Kid before Sneha’s deciding answer.

Married by America — tiebreak win

After debating whether to leave the game tied, Curtis offers another question. Ryan picks number 11 from the offered range 8–13, leading to Married by America. All three players choose worse; Curtis reveals number 97 and confirms the answer is correct. He closes by explicitly congratulating the group on winning Rank the Ratings. No separate individual winner is named.

The hosts vote on each other’s performances. The ending names Curtis as the loser without identifying a unique overall winner.

RESULT STATUS

The competitive result is unresolved.

Curtis explicitly loses; no unique overall winner is named.

Round 1 · the best excuse to avoid Lilith

Read the full archive excerpt

Ryan says he must get to a specialty store before it closes so they can have coffee in the morning. He says he has “chipped my last mug,” as confirmed in the recording. He insists on a mug with a handle; the others criticize the excuse’s lack of creativity. Brad tells Lilith that, because they are both Jewish, being together is unsafe in the current world and she will be safer without him. Curtis reverses the task: he will be so clingy and possessive that Lilith leaves. The group says that might work but is not actually an excuse. After one vote each for Ryan and Brad, Curtis selects Ryan because his excuse is at least not a bummer. Ryan wins this round; the one-point remark does not establish a settled points allocation.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Ryan guesses Sean Connery’s role and recalls Kevin Costner; Hannah passes. Curtis reveals Al Capone, played by Robert De Niro.

Curtis asks which animal Hoskins looked after before acting. Ryan guesses a Syrian parakeet; Hannah answers camel and wins. The proposed two-point or wager rules are disputed and not adopted. No final numeric totals are stated.

Yoga Bear: fourteen names to classify

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Premise and method

Curtis gives Brad and Ryan names to classify as yoga poses or bear, the segment’s label for sex positions. They work together, explaining guesses and sometimes revising them before Curtis reveals the category from his selected source lists. He warns that names may overlap across categories. This is a collaborative classification activity, with no separate individual winner. The sequence below retains all fourteen names and final choices.

Result

Curtis says they missed two classifications. The activity has no separate individual winner.

RESULT STATUS

A result is recorded; a participant winner is not.

Preserve the stated loser, cooperative result or uncertainty; no individual winner or final total inferred.

Players: Brad(ley)Ryan

Bound angle

Ryan first answers yoga. Brad agrees that angle sounds like yoga, despite hesitation about bound. Curtis confirms yoga and describes the cobbler’s pose.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Upward salute

Ryan chooses bear and Brad agrees. Brad and Ryan offer comic interpretations before Curtis reveals yoga. Their final classification is wrong.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailable

Cliff diver

Brad initially favors bear, with uncertainty. Discussion of the name leads to clarification of the answer format and two final bear replies, first Brad and then Ryan. Curtis confirms that category.

Curtis praises Brad and Ryan’s ability to distinguish the categories and says they missed two, confirmed in the recording. He recalls testing cliff diver on his boyfriend and discovering that it was the hardest item; the group discusses returning to the yoga-mat format in a later season. No future segment is treated as already performed, and no individual winner is awarded.

Persuade Me: two suede-jacket proposals

Led by Brad(ley)

How this one works

Premise and decision

Ryan and Curtis offer competing reasons for Brad to wear suede. Ryan presents the fictional flight that creates Suede Boggs; Curtis proposes seven identical jackets, one for each weekday. Brad listens, negotiates details and explicitly chooses Ryan.

Result

Brad explicitly chooses Ryan, whose proposal is the fictional Suede Boggs flight. Curtis presents the seven-jacket plan. No numeric points are stated.

RESULT STATUS

A winner is actually on the record.

Explicit winner in approved reviewed content; no unstated final numerical total.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

A fictional flight turns Brad into Suede Boggs

Read the full archive excerpt

Ryan imagines a suede jacket and a New York–Hawaii flight that creates a legendary Suede Boggs persona through an absurd quantity of beer, with another flight on the return. Brad responds to the premise, questions the airport description and negotiates beer choice and bathroom breaks. Another host explicitly objects that the drinking quantity would be fatal. The bathroom limits keep changing without a final agreement. This is an exaggerated fictional comedy pitch, not an enacted flight or practical plan. The recording confirms Ryan as the presenter.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Seven identical jackets, one for each day

Read the full archive excerpt

Curtis proposes seven suede jackets assigned Monday through Sunday, with Brad wearing Monday’s on Saturday to create mystery. Brad questions why days matter and suggests alternative labels. The clarification insists on actually purchasing seven identical jackets, not one jacket or seven different colors. Brad proposes claiming the stitching differs even when it does not; another voice challenges emphasizing stitching. The final comic payoff is the mystery of a Monday suede on Saturday. The recording confirms Curtis as the presenter.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Brad chooses Ryan, then corrects Brian

Pressed for a choice, Brad praises the segment, says he was confused by Curtis’s plan and explicitly selects Ryan because he is on Team Ryan that day. Owner-confirmed pitch attribution connects that choice to Ryan’s fictional flight. The wrap clarifies Ryan with an R after a Brian joke.

So, well, I think Frasier's going to be Mott the Barber. Oh, boy. Was that your Curtis impression? That was my Curtis impression. I mean, it's pre-anchored, but do I never pull that out? I feel like I've done that. What are we doing, Curtis? First of all, this is your idea. Second of all. That's before I knew what the episode was about. Yeah. So of the Frasier cast characters, who would they be in Star Trek? I'm so glad you're asking the two guys that know literally nothing about Star Trek. Well, I'm asking my brother as well, who knows a lot. I know way too much about Star Trek. I was going to say, me and Brad should take a shot at it, and you two should grade us and tell us what the real answers are. That's a great idea. I like that. I like that. I would like to go first, because I really only know one character on Star Trek. You know more than one character on Star Trek. I don't know about that. You might not know any from this. You know Mott the Barber? Mott the Barber? And I don't even know their character's name. I just knew Whoopi Goldberg was on it. Yep. She's right. I am excited to find out who Whoopi Goldberg is. Like, which Frasier character you're going to cast is Whoopi Goldberg. Oh, that's... Oh, all right. Are you ready? We're ready. I don't know if the world's ready, but I'm ready. Yeah. I mean, no, obviously it's Gil. You can't play coy once you've been caught traipsing around bad billies. I got no sympathy for you, bitch. Who? What? Gil. Who's Gil? Gil Chesterton. Jumby all the way to the end of the episode. He's the guy who winds up going into the gay bar at the end. Yeah. Oh. Do you understand the assignment? Yeah. No, clearly they're the same person. Who's the same person? I want to say this. Even discounting Star Trek, in what way is he like Whoopi Goldberg? Oh, you don't know Whoopi then. You don't know Whoopi. Please explain. I don't think you do.

Method: But the three of us will take turns interviewing him. But we won't like schedule appropriate times to do it. We'll just like bother him when he's not expecting it. And if he engages with us in any kind of conversation or interview, we will keep steering the conversation back to, are you sure you don't want the Macchiato? Answer qualification: Oh, it doesn't matter. If he accepts them, we'll just keep, he'll be like in the middle of drinking one.

The Hitler Award for sweatiest person on the show.

Title: The Hitler Award for sweatiest person on the show. Activity description: It's the first annual Mid-Season Reverse Psychology Awards. We have gathered here to honor the best and brightest this season has to offer. Presenting our first award, Ryan. Ah, yes. The Hitler Award for sweatiest person on the show. The nominees are... My nomination is going to be Kenny, because in every scene, he's incredibly sweaty. Hmm. Okay. Makes sense. I would like to nominate Frasier himself, because I feel like he is slimy, especially around women, and some of that's got to be sweat. Okay. Okay. You stole my nomination, so I'll have to pick a different one. Oh, I was going to nominate Frasier, because do you remember when he planned a wedding and then made everyone wait outside? So he himself wasn't sweaty, but he caused like 90 people to be sweaty for no reason. He could have just easily let them in. Oh, wow. Okay. That's insane to how your brain works. But actual sweaty people, there's the bald guy when they're all in the sauna. He was the sweatiest of all of them. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, probably. He's been on screen twice, so I have no idea if that's true, but yeah, probably no. And the winner is... Kenny Powers. The guy we all know and love. Come on down, sweaty man. Yeah, thank you for getting my last name incorrect, but whatever. Is that not his name? Being... No, double flow. So, winning this award is something that I truly honor. This is an experience I never thought I would get, and being able to win this award will help me and my family continue on our life journey. I'd like to thank all of my audience and everyone. Wow. Big win for Kenny getting the Hitler Award. My favorite part is that he's not accepting the word on behalf of Kenny. He's pretending to be Kenny. Oh, I think I was going to do the same thing. Is that not what we're supposed to do? I guess I wasn't clear about that. It's super weird that you're just pretending to be a voice you clearly aren't. All right.

Title: best couple award Activity description: Well, presenting the next award. I am presenting the best couple award. Oh. I'm going to choose Frazier and his first wife. What? What? You can't choose that. We've only seen... That hasn't been on the show. Yes, she has. She hasn't been on the show. Yes, she has. No, she hasn't. His son has been on the show, but... No. Oh, you mean... Oh, you're talking about Nanny G. Yes. Stop interrupting me. Let me finish. You could have named her. I was a belter and you interrupted me. Oh, I thought you were being insane. Frazier and Nanny G, his first wife. Sorry, I said it right that time. That is who I would like to vote for best couple, because that was one of the funniest scenes on sitcom television. Doesn't really make you best couple. Oh, we'll see who the winner is at the end. Okay. Well, I, of course, am going to elect Frazier as well, but of course it's Frazier and Frank. That emotional connection. Jesus. It doesn't get more electric than that. I would like to nominate Ronnie and Marty. He is an old and will be dead soon. She is his son's age and loves to party, likely quickening Martin's death. And still, this is the most healthy relationship we've seen. Oh, yeah, easily. The only problem with that relationship is that Marty is part of it. If I could just elect Ronnie. He barely is. He barely is. True. And the winner is Frazier and Frank. Accepting the award on their behalf is Ryan. I wish Frazier and Frank could be here today, but, you know, I, uh, are you going to cue me for music or? I'm sorry. I forgot to do that. That was all. One job. Should I start from the top or just act like a mid-spish? Sure. Go ahead and start from the top. Uh. Ah. Can you start from the top? Welcome to Reverse Psychology. The Frazier Reliance Ball. And winner is Frazier and Frank. Oh, Frazier and Frank wish that they could be here. They just wanted to say that they are having a wonderful time in the Bahamas. Uh. Uh. Thank you.

best appetite

Title: best appetite Rules: This award can be one for something that somebody ate on the show, a way they ate on the show, anything that has to do with food. Activity description: Finally, Bradley. Hi. My name is Bradley Kirkston and I'm presenting the next award. That's not how people present things. I have my own presentation style. Thank you. My next. You have the presentation style of like Chad GPT. Yeah. My next. My next award is something that in high school we convinced somebody that they spelled it wrong. Um. We're going to go with, um, best appetite. Who has the best appetite? This award can be one for something that somebody ate on the show, a way they ate on the show, anything that has to do with food. Which one did you convince that they spelled wrong? Best or appetite? Ape tit. We told a girl that instead of saying apple poll, they spelled it as ape tit. The best ape tit awards are way snappier. Yeah. All right. So, so who are your nominations for best appetite? Uh, I'm going to nominate Niles, of course. My man prepared to get super crispy and to do so he bought a, what was it? An aggressive Zinfandel. Mm-hmm. I mean, how, how much, how much more best ape tit can you possibly get? I am nominating Daddy because he tried to eat an entire turkey and he, he ate even a ring. Like he, most of what we've seen of him is him eating things. I thought you were for sure going to nominate Marty. You've tried two weeks in a row to do a Marty meal. So yeah, I'm going to pick Marty for, for, but not neither of those ones for when he ate, um, Niles' brownie. Oh. Best appetite just because he was going on an actual diet and would eat anything but decided to eat a brownie? And then was more hungry because he was high. Okay. Go ahead, Ryan. Say, say which one you, you would prefer other than your own. Yeah. So I think I hate Daddy, so I'm not going to choose. I don't like Marty either. Oh, what a dilemma. I think, do I have to go strictly on why you nominated them or can I just choose them despite your terrible reasons? I think that's fine. Well, I'm going to give it to Marty then. I mean, chips and pudding. Come on. Yeah, it's Marty. That means Brad is accepting. Do we want Brad for you to accept? Yeah. Except, except, except on behalf of Marty this time. Yeah. I was going to say something really funny. Fine. Oh, okay. Then accept as Marty. That'd be great. Let me accept as Marty. I think this will be worth it. There's no chance. Go ahead. I'm so happy I finally won. You know, being. I finally won. Being, being shot in the buttocks or wherever I was shot in the lake. I don't really remember. That was really woke me up. Why are you not getting louder? Sorry. Try to talk over the music. I'm getting louder. This is Marty getting louder. I'm an old man. I like to sit in my seat. Yeah, that didn't work out the way I would. What part was the funny part? I can accept for Marty. I can redo that. Great. I can't believe I thought. Let's come up with a segment that requires them to act at all. Please accept on behalf of Marty. I'm not going to edit this at all. None of my ideas of putting in music and turning it into a real award show is happening. I'm just going to put it all out there unedited as a plot. That's a shame. Accept this word for my buddy. That's too bad. Marty really deserves this. He couldn't be here tonight because he's busy being dead. But I'd like to just accept this award for him. Whoa, wait, what? What do you mean he's busy being dead? Sorry, the actor that played Marty, whatever. You're not doing the actor. You're doing the character. Well, Curtis has enough to put something together. I haven't heard anything yet. Just give your damn speech, but get louder as you do it. That's all you have to do. Sorry. All right, let's try this again. I would like to accept this speech on behalf of Marty. Marty really deserves this. He's really doing a lot. What do you mean you're accepting a speech? Oh, crap. Also got quieter as he went. Oh, my God. I'd like to accept this award on behalf of my friend Marty. Marty cannot be here tonight, and so I'm accepting it on his behalf. He could not be here tonight. He couldn't get louder. He just goes slower. Talk louder does not mean act like you're talking to a deaf person other than the loud part. You just kind of added space between every single syllable. You didn't talk louder. I can't really talk louder. No, you might have been quieter again. Do you have like a voice modulation disorder? Just pretend you're in public and just talk like how you normally talk to us all the time. Use that voice. I'd like to accept this word on behalf of my friend Marty. Marty could not be here tonight. He's resting. Better. You got louder for one word. It's fine. It's fine. Awesome. Thank you. Let's move on. Those were some wonderful awards.

Activity request: What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Activity premise: Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. Activity description: Well, we are going to get a chance to see what kind of a blood sucker he'd be. Because, yes, in this episode, we do get to see the station manager, Kenny, accused of having eaten a live pigeon. And so I thought it'd be fun if we kind of discuss what kind of an animal would we be willing to eat live? Like you'd have to kill yourself and eat it. But not. If you're desperate enough. So what is the worst thing? But not live. What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Yeah, I don't understand the prompt, Curtis, even though I've been accused of no energy. If I'm hungry enough, I will eat anything. I'd eat another human. Like, what do you mean? Oh, so you have no limit. Like, you would go. No one has. If you are hungry enough, you will do whatever you got to do. Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. And you're just a little bit out of it because you're so hungry. I'm desperately hungry. I'm eating a human. What do you mean? Okay. Well, all right. We've got your answer. I think you might be a blood sucky demon. And I'm thrilled with the increase in your energy levels. I feel like you're outside of the mountain territory for me. Brad, what do you think? I just had an arm. I'm feeling a lot better. My answer is a little shocking. Maybe I've been watching a little bit too much TV. I'm a big fan of commercials. So maybe that's where I got this idea from. I did have to look it up to find out that this wasn't an actual bird because I really wasn't sure. But I'm going to go with an emu. And even more specific, I'm going to go with the limu emu. Oh, wait a minute. What? This is ridiculous. You have to be able to achieve the goal. An emu would wipe the floor with you. No, wouldn't it? No. Well, especially, first of all, you think Doug's letting you anywhere near the limu emu? Are you out of your mind? A hundred percent. I would befriend the limu emu and Doug, but obviously Doug wouldn't make it. And then I would eat the limu emu. You're killing Doug too? I don't have to kill Doug. The emu will take care of that. Why are you specifically going after the most charismatic emu in the history of emus? I don't know if it's the most charismatic. Okay. Name another one. But you can find out. Name a top three contender even. Oh, for emus? Yes. The emu from that Scrubs episode? Yeah, the emu from the Scrubs episode. No helping. Tina the emu, old neighbor of mine, and this emu. Oh my God. By the way, I can promise all the viewers, we're never going to go off and do a Scrubs rewatch podcast because it would require watching season nine. Kodis, I didn't realize we had to name specific people. So I guess since I named humans, I would eat Brad just to shut him up. Thanks, bud. I take that as a compliment. Sure. Well, I feel like I have to give an answer. I would say, I feel like this is a mistake. This is going to really cancel me quick. I feel like I would be very comfortable eating a beloved pet. So Eddie is who I would kill and eat. What the fuck? This episode took a weird turn. I love humans. That's fine. A beloved pet. Don't you dare. Your answer is psychotic. You went after a loved one. Like your own loved one. That's crazy as fuck. I didn't say my own beloved. I said a beloved pet. And then I named Eddie. So like literally a TV show. The dog that doesn't exist. Who cares? I thought you were saying your own beloved pet. That would be absolutely psychotic. No, Ryan just doesn't listen to things Curtis says. I was already freaking out when you said beloved pet. We better pivot into the episode. Yeah, let's do it. This has gotten great. Let's do it.

Read the full archive excerpt

Submission type: predicted episode synopsis Response context: High holidays. Premise: No one is Jewish, which must mean we are getting cranes on planes. The cranes are choosing to spend Christmas in the Bahamas. Roz is joining them because it's the Bahamas. In the A plot, Frazier tries to get lucky in the air. He comes up short but is frustratingly close several times. Elsewhere on the plane, Daphne tells Niles that she's looking forward to their baby's first Christmas. This sends Niles into a panic as he forgot to give Daphne a gift. Ronnie and Martin get it on in the bathroom, old people style.

Well, let's get this audience that we've clearly amassed to weigh in. You can go to r slash turkey on Reddit, and you can go there, and you can discuss which of these three luminaries you would send to an episode of Frasier. And I did look it up, and it is a real place. It is, however, about the country turkey, so it might be a little bit of confusion on our little topics we're sending over there. But I think all of the discussion around reverse psychology, the podcast, should be really happening in our slash turkey. Forgot that was a country. That makes sense. Jack Black, reach out. If you want to, we can type something up. Maybe make a fake Frasier episode for you. You can run through the lines with me or something. I don't know. Oh, my gosh.

Read the full archive excerpt

Answer qualification: You said former Golden Globe nominee. No, I'm just kidding. He's a Golden Globe nominee. Notable references: It's called E-Rob with B-Rad. Okay. That's a great pick. Jack Black. Yeah. It is great, but like 2004, Jack Black, very different than now. So he doesn't, he doesn't have any of his like serious work under his belt, but I'm still, he does great with everything he does. So he would very much be like the guy, Marty, the friends and a noise Frasier. No question. Yes. All the, him and Niles would be fun as well. I feel like Frasier would barely be able to hold his contempt for, for Jack Black. And I think that Niles, um, would, uh, just be very sarcastic about him and like, but kind of secretly think he's kind of fun. No, Niles would suffer in silence around him and then just go off whenever he leaves the room. I think he's a coward and not a bad-ass. I forgot. I forgot. I forgot which Niles we're dealing with. All right, Brad. How about you? Brad. Yeah. Let's, let's hear yours. Thank you. I was worried no one was going to ask me and instead both of you asked me. I appreciate it. I don't think we're pretty confident you don't have an answer. No. Oh my God. You're going to be so wrong. And you know, I had an answer the second I thought of this. So my person is somebody that could literally play any role. He could be a mobster. He could be your best friend. He could be the love interest. He is funnier than Jack Black, better looking than Helen Bonham Carter. He is a former Golden Globe nominee. Are you his agent? Yes. I'm talking about Eric Roberts. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh my God. You said former Golden Globe nominee. I don't think you can be a former Golden Globe. I think you're just a Golden Globe nominee. Well, that nomination might've been taken away, but we'll talk about that another episode. What? No, no. You're going to tell us this episode. No, I'm just kidding. It really wasn't. I just, he's still, you're right. He's a Golden Globe nominee. Is he? But that's besides the point. For what? For King of Gypsies. What? That doesn't even sound like a thing you could make today. Just, what matters is, first off, Ryan, I'm so disappointed that you didn't realize that was going to be my answer. I know it was going to be your answer, but. Do you not know me? Is that the reason you wanted to do this segment so that you could bring him up? Absolutely. Do you want to explain for our audience who the fuck you're talking about? I don't need to explain to him. He was the bottom tier bad guy in Dark Knight. He's been. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not even a good, that's not a good thing because nobody is going to remember him. Because if you are thinking of the bottom tier bad guy in Dark Knight, you are still thinking of somebody cooler than the actual guy we're talking about. You will have forgotten him for sure from that movie. Yeah. The best way, I think, to alert people to who we're talking about, he was the bad guy in the music video for Mr. Brightside by The Killers. Yeah, that's right. He's been in like over a hundred things. He's an incredible actor. He has a daughter. He does have a daughter that I once was going to marry just so I can get close to him. By the way, when over half of his credits are cameos and music videos, I don't think you can just throw out the number 100 like it's impressive. That's not even true. He's been in so much stuff. Join me on my Eric Roberts podcast. It's called E-Rob with B-Rad. All right.

WHAT THEY BROUGHT

forecast submission

Read the full archive excerpt

Submission type: Prediction for Boo. Response context: Uh, happy to. It's Halloween in Seattle. Niles has decided that this is the year he is putting his foot down. No more Halloween. Frazier, bored with absolutely no social life, sets out to convince Niles that spirits are real. Martin and Ronnie enjoy some spirits of their own, dressed for the occasion before running into Frazier. When Ronnie is in the powder room, Martin tries to convince Frazier to put on his costume to dupe his fiancé. Roz takes Daphne shopping, I guess. Phrase attribution: happy, addressed to Curtis; prediction: Ryan
