Everything feels better when the rules are clear, the stakes are fun, and you can play along from the couch. That’s why we couldn’t stop arguing about game shows, the classics we grew up on, the weird ones that aged badly, and the newer formats that crank the risk knob to max.

We start by trying to define what even counts as a “game show” and immediately break our own brains. Is it only trivia and puzzles like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, or does any competition with a prize qualify? We go down the rabbit hole far enough to (jokingly) label sports as game shows, then climb back out to celebrate the stuff that actually shaped our TV childhoods: Supermarket Sweep chaos, American Gladiators energy, and the Nickelodeon era that had Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, and Guts locked in the after school hall of fame.

Then we hit the darker side of the genre, like The Moment of Truth, where “winning” comes with real life consequences, and we talk about why that kind of discomfort TV works even when it feels gross. We also pitch the comeback we want most: Cash Cab rebuilt for the rideshare age, with rotating cities and surprise trivia for everyday riders. And because we can’t end like normal people, we close with a brain fun fact about why your mouth muscles still activate when you read silently.

Welcome back to another beautiful episode of the FMJ podcast where we make all your widesses' fantasies come true. I'm just kidding, we don't do that. Unless you tie Templeton to his chair and tickle his feet lightly with an ostrich.

SPEAKER_09

Well, that makes like I think we all have to go to work tomorrow. Majority of the of the of America has to go to work tomorrow because it's a Monday.

SPEAKER_09

Fuck Mondays.

SPEAKER_05

And that's I think that's what Garfield said or something.

SPEAKER_11

Um I don't think he said somebody has a case of the Mondays. Words are hard for us to do it.

SPEAKER_09

That was bar for bar.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Whatever they call it. See Grizznose. Grizznose.

SPEAKER_09

How do they be working?

SPEAKER_05

I'm pretty sure Garfield afterwards. Fuck because verbatim. Yeah, he said fuck Mondays. Fuck Mondays. Garfield, probably.

SPEAKER_02

As he did the crit, as he cripwalked out the panel.

SPEAKER_05

With a lasagna in his hand.

SPEAKER_09

I was gonna say, like dude hates Mondays and loves lasagna. Everybody can relate to that shit.

SPEAKER_05

Garfield, probably. Garfield probably is my favorite part. What do you think? He hates Mondays and loves it. Yeah, he's the one that hates lasagna. So loves lasagna. Templeton, you got anything new going on? Other than the high, high, high pulse that you have.

SPEAKER_09

SPEAKER_09

Hell no.

SPEAKER_05

Damn, they just go in dry. They just go in dry. That's crazy. Well, uh no foreplay? No foreplay. No foreplay. We I think we discussed on our previous show why foreplay is important. If you don't know, go check it out. Anyway, anyway. Well, if if that's if that's all from Templeton, we will sh we shall move on. We're just gonna go in a counterclockwise motion here, at least from my perspective. Grizz, what's your pulse look like?

SPEAKER_02

Uh it's pretty chill, actually. Um I I woke up. Well, I tried to wake up at six. I did not wake up at six. I tried to wake up at six. Um, but I did get up early and I tossed a bread in the oven. A whole loaf? A whole loaf. Pinching loaves out there. Pinching loaves, baby. Let's go. Uh, rosemary thyme with olive oil. Uh nice steamed oven. Time is it here? It is 824.

SPEAKER_01

I'm being dumb.

SPEAKER_11

He is trolling in his fucking troll outfit coming from underneath the bridge, and you guys are just embracing it. You guys are just like, hey, come here, guy. Come here, guy. Come on in. And I'm just sitting here like stop. You guys stop. He's been trolling since we since he turned on his computer. I have no idea what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_05

But Grizz, you made rosemary and time bread.

SPEAKER_09

No, hold on, hold on. Yeah, we're gonna pause for just a second.

SPEAKER_05

You just menopause. Men on pause.

SPEAKER_09

Is Jay gonna sit here and try to convince here and try to convince all of us and everybody listening that he doesn't know anything about trolling?

SPEAKER_05

I have no idea what you're talking about. So, Grizz, you were you were saying you made rosemary and time bread.

SPEAKER_11

That's my example right there.

SPEAKER_02

That's crazy work. Um, yes, I so last night before bed, I made a dough um for bread this morning. Make it a dough. Make it a dough. I um I wanted to bake it off before the show because after we get done with the show, I have a pretty busy day lined up and I wasn't gonna have a chance to bake the bread. So I was like, let me bake this bread early. Bake that bread and then it's up there just resting, hanging out, cooling off. Oh, yeah? Did you put a little umbrella up for it? I did, yeah. I poured it a couple margs.

SPEAKER_05

Mojito mojito is what you're looking for.

SPEAKER_02

Margie Margus.

SPEAKER_11

Thank you. Thank you. I didn't drink them. I don't know. A fucking bloody marriage.

SPEAKER_04

He's in a mojito, a mojitas? A mojita? Mojita with an A because it's smells drunk.

SPEAKER_05

You want a Vegeta? Is that what you want? You want a Vegeta? A sweet treat.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I'll take the Super Saiyan Vegeta. I'll take the Super Saiyan Vegeta.

SPEAKER_11

That ain't it. That's all I did, man. I fucking switched the fucking O.

SPEAKER_03

He's mad as fucking A.

SPEAKER_11

He was a fucking troll and I fucking fed him. I fucking looked up fucking fucking took him.

SPEAKER_03

That's why something tells me I'm not the only one that woke up early today.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, we all woke up fucking early today, dude. I was up at fucking I don't even know what time. Six?

SPEAKER_09

I think six thirty. Yeah, man. I've been up since like fucking six, six thirty.

SPEAKER_05

Six seven. I've gone.

SPEAKER_09

Been up since like six seven. I'm going to punch you. I'm going to punch you in the face.

SPEAKER_05

Been up like six, seven. That's so six-seven of you. So Grant's I'm I'm really that's really cool that you made the that you made uh rosemary and thyme bread. Like so, so I know you were kind of discussing it before before uh the show, um, but you said you want to like get into like adding different things like um jalapeno like jalapeno cheddar and all that kind of stuff. Um the bakery that I have, well, pastry. Well, no, what is it? It's it's it's a bakery. Let's let's go with that. And they have um some of the shameless plug say yes cakes. I love them in Dayton, Ohio. They do they have a nice mix of like sweet and savory stuff up there. I literally got some biscuits from them that were like they were it was jalapeno with aciago um cheese on the top. Oh my god, dude. They do it's amazing watching them work because all they do is sit back there behind the counter and just come up with ideas. It's awesome. I love that. Yeah, just in there. Yeah, they're just like, hey, what if we try this? Will that go good with this? I don't know. That might take that might take away from this, that, and that. Oh, you know what? And then I've been there so much, like whatever they're testing, as soon as I walk in, they're like, try this.

SPEAKER_09

That's awesome. I love that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I'm like, say less.

SPEAKER_09

So it's a it's a shame Dayton's so far. Like, yeah, because I would I've just I would have the reason to go there. Like, yeah, and I'm just I'm just gonna like, oh, sounds like a reasonable.

SPEAKER_02

So here's your reason, Templeton. You go get the cakes, yeah. They probably do coffee. If they don't, there's probably coffee.

SPEAKER_05

They do have they do have a little Keurig, they allow you to make they do it, they do allow you to make your own coffee in there.

SPEAKER_02

So that's pretty but there's probably like a decent coffee shop nearby. So you could go get like a nice coffee, get your cakes, and then I bet you there's a nice park in Dayton. Oh yeah, and you can just chill. And oh yeah. I'm telling you what, it's not there's something that I've been doing lately here in Seattle because it's so expensive, and uh sometimes it's hard to justify spending money on entertainment. Um I've just been chilling in like parks and shit, just like spending as little money as possible. So, like a cup of coffee, you know, if I'm really balling on a budget, I can get drip. But I mean, just getting a latte and then taking the dog out. Honestly, um, I think Daisy having the big C is making me think this way too. Because it's like what things can I do with her? Yeah, unless I I you know take her to the park or whatever, and then it's just like a nice little afternoon. So you don't need a big reason to go to Dayton.

SPEAKER_05

No, not a huge one. And I think say yes cakes is more than enough reason.

SPEAKER_02

I know it seems far, it seems far, but like when you think about it, it ain't that bad. You just make it a part of the experience.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, like to be honest, you don't really need a reason to do anything, you just get in your car and go do it. Yeah, you just go. Yeah, you just go. I mean, if if if you start thinking about reasons, you're gonna think of reasons why you shouldn't. Right. Exactly, and that's a stop shit. And then you're sitting at home.

SPEAKER_09

My thing is like it's it's Dayton. Like, I don't dislike that city, but I'm not gonna go to Dayton just to go to Dayton. There has to be something I want to do when I get there.

SPEAKER_11

Say yes, cakes.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, it's the say yes cakes. It's the experience. It it truly is this experience.

SPEAKER_11

Is there something towards Dayton or past Dayton that you enjoy doing?

SPEAKER_09

Well, Mrs. Uh Templeton lives about halfway between here and there. Okay, so then what you do is you say, hey, for breakfast, we're for for picking, you're gonna run up to Dayton, grab a cake.

SPEAKER_11

Because if you're already going halfway, what's 30 minutes?

SPEAKER_05

Right. What's another 30 minutes up the road? Yeah. I mean, yeah, it it could be depending on the day that you go. Like if it's during the week, my face will be up there.

SPEAKER_09

I'm just saying, like, you go to Dayton and back every single day of the week. Right, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05

Depending on what day of the week, yeah, my face might be up there.

SPEAKER_11

Templeton. It's not like we don't. I'm just saying if you if you come up with reasons why you shouldn't, at the same time, you're gonna be able to do that. You'll always come up with reasons.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you'll always come up with reasons why you should not go. Yes. Because you'll be like, I can go, but there's always a butt in that in that conversation with yourself.

SPEAKER_09

So also, we can do it too. You guys know that uh I'm I was in uh Army Reserves back in the day. And we did our drills at Wright Patterson, which is in Dayton. Right. So are you traumatized?

SPEAKER_02

PTSD.

SPEAKER_09

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

We're going to Dayton in a couple weeks. Yeah, we will be there.

SPEAKER_05

We'll be there.

SPEAKER_02

Be there this way. That's another reason to go to Dayton for the cakes because then you can get you can like reclaim Dayton as like this thing that has sweet treats and not uh whatever happened in the reserves. Yeah, you want to talk about it? It included it, it included a flute.

SPEAKER_09

I mean, no, no, it was Bandcamp. It was it wasn't like violent or um traumatizing, it was just super, super fucking boring.

SPEAKER_02

Oh well, it's over now.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, you're done.

SPEAKER_05

That's a dependency turn it to a fun yeah, little city. Say yes, cakes isn't gonna bore you, I promise. They literally they literally make some good stuff in Dayton.

SPEAKER_02

I will leave. I've done uh oh sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead. No, no, no, no, you're you're you're you're I was gonna I was gonna say um I've done a Comic Con situation in Dayton. I forget what it was called, Gym City Con, I think.

SPEAKER_05

Yep, yep, yep. They they have it, they have it every year, I think.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, uh I I've done that show and like I've stayed I like instead of driving back home, I just like stayed in a well, I think one time I stayed in like an Airbnb or something, and then another time I uh stayed in a hotel on the other side of Dayton just because I didn't want to like wake up early. I'm lazy, I'm a lazy motherfucker, and I didn't want to wake up extra early to drive up to Dayton for these shows, so I just spent the money and stayed nearby. Yeah. Um, but there's like there's some good stuff to do if you like food. I mean, who doesn't like it?

SPEAKER_05

Oh, for sure. For sure. Dayton Dayton does some decent food. Yeah, Dayton has some good food spots. But I will leave you with this. They do have a uh pineapple upside down twice baked croissant. Ooh. Where they literally made they baked a pineapple upside down cake, cut it in half like long ways, and then just put it in between a croissant and baked it twice, and then topped it off with like this liquid sugar type thing. It's so fucking good. Anyway, so here's the line. Here's the thing. Here's here's the thing. I thought I thought we were friends. So, so there's that. Anyway, um, Grizz, oh my god, Grizz, be inspired, right? To make this bread, just do just add stuff and get really great.

SPEAKER_02

I love that. I love that because like that's really okay, full disclosure. I smoked a joy before the show. Okay. Um yeah. So some thoughts that I've had lately is uh just like being more present and enjoying the moment and playing around with recipes and experimenting. I think that that's more fun, yeah. More enjoyable of a an experience than just like making a recipe to the T. Don't get me wrong, those have their moments, right? Because like you want to know it's gonna taste good. Yeah, yeah. But uh I've been learning to like I've been teaching myself like cooking techniques, so like now I'm I'm at this point where uh I know how to make food taste good, so now I get to play with like extra shit and just like test things, and sometimes it doesn't work out. Like I made this chicken dish the other night uh last week, and it was not great, it was like too salty, I didn't balance it well, and but that's okay. Like I was just testing some spices and shit. Um it's fine. I you know what I mean? Like I enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's it's not just weird things happening, Grizz. I'm sorry, I was paying attention, I swear. Um was I, so was I. I was I was gonna I was just gonna add, and and we gotta we'll we'll have to move on to Yeti here in a second, but I was just gonna add, I think it is ideal to you know know how to make it first, right? You gotta know, make sure you know your way around the block first, and then start and then start experimenting, adding shit to things and and all that kind of stuff. And that's what that's typically how I would do it if ever I like you know decide to cook. I don't cook very often anymore, but yeah, it's just it's just how it's how I used to be. I used to experiment all the time. Like I used to always do um breakfast for uh breakfast for dinner, and I experimented with pancakes like fucking crazy. I added two. Right? I I I experimented with so many different uh flavors in pancakes, and then like um I I missed my egg in a whole burgers. Oh my god, they were so fucking you ever you ever had one?

SPEAKER_02

No, so I've done my egg on top of a burger.

SPEAKER_05

So what you need to do is um get your get your meat, form your patty, right? Uh-huh. And then take something like cup, whatever, and then just take the middle out. And now what you want to do is like cook the one side, you know, however you want it cooked. Cook the one side, and then when you flip it, that's when you crack your egg open and put it in the middle. And let that cook with the other side. And once you get done, you can like kind of like you know, scoop them off, put it on, put it on your burger, whatever you decide to top it with. I always put a fucking slice of pineapple on top, because why the fuck not? And let me tell you how like when you cook it right, that egg is so gooey in the middle. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You get like a medium, yes. Oh, it's like where it's like it's like runny but like solid at the same time, yeah. Like gelatinous, yeah. It's it's so fucking good. I wanna I wanna the last thing I want to say, and then what we can move on. I want to try that, yes, but with with uh breakfast sausage, dude.

SPEAKER_05

Do it, do it with sausage egg and cheese fucking sandwich or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So like do do do the do a sausage patty thick like a burger, but then like pour it, like you just said, put the and then like cook it on one side, uh flip it, put the egg in.

SPEAKER_05

Use chorizo. Make me jealous. Make me jealous and use chorizo.

SPEAKER_02

And then and then do bacon, yeah. Bacon on the side, some like some like nice, uh robust cheddar.

SPEAKER_06

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Um to put on top of it. We're doing bacon and uh either a bagel, a bagel, probably, but I kind of want to do like a big ass biscuit.

SPEAKER_05

Biscuit.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, soft biscuit.

SPEAKER_05

A soft biscuit.

SPEAKER_02

English muffin would be good too. Soft biscuit.

SPEAKER_05

But like yeah, okay, all right, soft on the inside. No, because you're making me hungry, and we can't we can't do that right now. No, you're right. We can't we can't do that right now because we have a whole show.

Is it running spoon engines?

unknown

Wow.

SPEAKER_09

Nope, nobody knows the answer to those questions. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03

I thought you were a fast and the furious man, but I guess not.

SPEAKER_11

Got the spoon engine part, but I don't know about the gallop. I didn't know when was the gallo part said.

SPEAKER_02

It's uh too fast, too furious when Brian is uh too furious. Normally it goes root guy because for his partner, and he's like, if I was gonna put a new engine in my skyline, would it be a Gallo 12 or a Gallo 24? Okay. And the Gallo is the name of the fucking gas station on the cup that he's drinking from. I gotcha, I gotcha.

SPEAKER_05

Obviously, he's not that big of a fan of Fast and Fury's franchise.

SPEAKER_11

Hey, can you even mow? All I say is why even mow?

SPEAKER_05

You thought you had me? You don't even have your lawnmower.

SPEAKER_08

I'm fucking hitting you.

SPEAKER_09

SPEAKER_08

It's gonna happen in the ballroom.

SPEAKER_05

Alright, so Yeti's stressed because we can't stop trolling him. But he does have a lot to do.

SPEAKER_04

So that's code for let's get this fucking show moving and stop making fun of me, okay? All right, guys.

SPEAKER_09

I I I am curious though, Yeti. If you have a lot of stuff to do, are you gonna do it fast or furious?

SPEAKER_11

I'm gonna do it both.

SPEAKER_05

He's gonna be fast. You know why? He's gonna be furious from this conversation. It's gonna make him go really fast during these operations. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_11

You guys got me so mad. I'm gonna hang my daughter's swing lopsided and she can swing in circles.

SPEAKER_02

Whether you finish by an inch or finish by a mile.

SPEAKER_03

Finishing task list is a completed task list.

SPEAKER_04

Finishing is finishing. I'm gonna finish first in your mother.

SPEAKER_05

That was all right. Okay. And that's and that's how we move on from there. Because now that's that's that's taboo, as they would say in the audio smutting.

SPEAKER_09

I definitely, I definitely hope he was not talking to Jay when he said that.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, he definitely was talking to me. That's why I said we gotta move on. So

Mets Stunts And Celebrity Bits

SPEAKER_05

anyway. I was talking to everybody, but uh-huh. Anyway, who wants some entertainment news?

SPEAKER_03

Hit it.

SPEAKER_05

So I found this kind of funny, and I kind of like it, and it kind of makes me enjoy the Mets a little bit. But JK Simmons saw Spider-Man in the stands at a Mets game when they played the Reds a few days ago. Oh did he take pictures? It was actually hilarious. Like the video shows him, he's just sitting there, and then it then it then the camera catches him, and he's just looking angry, and you see like this this uh the the bugle newspaper, and he just kind of like he puts it down as Spider-Man and turns around, he's like it's uh it's actually hilarious. So apparently they've been doing that recently. Yes, because I know they had Tom Hanks and they reunited him with Wilson. I guess it was the mascot. The mascot had the handprint on it, and they reunited Tom Hanks with Wilson, so you know, from Castaway.

SPEAKER_11

Wait, so timeout. Was Tom Hanks really in the stands?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Tom Hanks was it just so just like JK Simmons, yes. They've been they've been doing things with celebrities, so I fought I found that hilarious. That was the first time I heard about it with JK Simmons, and I loved it because I mean full Spider-Man outfit, and he's just sitting there in Metz gear, just looking angry as fuck. Then he turned around and he's like, Spider-Man! He's a menace. So I I enjoy that. Like, I wish the Reds would do shit like that. That would be that'd be entertaining.

SPEAKER_09

Well that's what that's why Banana Bowl is so great. Well, technically speaking, the Reds were part of it.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but it was the Mets versus. Oh, were they at that game? Yeah, I mean, it was Mets versus Reds, but they were at but they were in they were they were in New York when they did it. Yeah, I know. Right. They don't they don't do it when they're in Cincinnati.

SPEAKER_11

Though they can do that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_02

I mean it's cool that they were playing they happen to be playing the Reds when that happened. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

That that's why that's why I wanted to bring it up, because you know, they're they were they were playing the Reds and it happened during that during their game. I was like, that's kind of funny. I I uh Mets doing it. Um I don't I I kind of I kind of have to look into that, but as of right now, I just seen that the Mets were doing it, and they said that they had just like recently started doing that. So I kind of wanna wanna it might push other ballpark clubs to do that.

SPEAKER_02

I could see like LA doing that, like the bigger cities that are Seattle.

SPEAKER_11

I can see Seattle doing it too.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I just think I just think it, I think I think it's neat, especially for the fans, um, just to get just to just to have that little break where it's like, hey, look who it is in the stands. You're like, ah, that's why Brian.

SPEAKER_09

That's why it's like baseball like live is so much better than watching it on television.

SPEAKER_02

100%. Yeah, I mean you're not gonna be.

SPEAKER_09

I like going to a game.

SPEAKER_02

I'm gonna go to the Seattle Reds series. Uh I gotta double check. It's either in June or July. You're gonna go to the series, you're gonna go to all of them. Oh, I you're right. I should have I should have better phrased that. I might go to two of them. I don't know. I'll go to all three. I mean, if you get the cheap seats, who cares?

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, get the cheap seats.

SPEAKER_02

If you want to go to all of them. Because I think I think the third game is on Wednesday, and I work on Wednesdays.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, boo. Tell them no. Tell them no. You want one score to try mine up. Damn.

SPEAKER_04

He said, I should try.

SPEAKER_05

Chris, you have to work Wednesday. No. And they're like, oh, okay, well, fine, we'll find somebody else. Fuck, that worked.

SPEAKER_11

I think you said I'm sick for that Wednesday.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it sounds like you're gonna come down with the flu or something.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm looking a little peckish.

SPEAKER_11

Yes, you look a little wireless headphones in your nose and yeah, just like have like a fake beeping sound and I'm just like I can't come in.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think I can't make it.

SPEAKER_03

I shouldn't joke like that. No, you shouldn't. You should not. But straight to it.

SPEAKER_05

Because he's not going there. Anyway, hang on, let's do this right. For the joke. Because Grizz is really not gonna call off work and tell them no.

SPEAKER_02

I mean he might probably not. He's not in the hospital.

SPEAKER_11

We don't want him in the hospital, but him calling off could still happen.

SPEAKER_05

Fucking hell. Anyway. Anyway. So there you go. If uh let us know if you want your uh favorite baseball team to start doing that kind of stuff. I think I think the Reds just start doing it, but I think Yeti has something for us. Do you not have something for us, Yeti?

SPEAKER_09

What you got yet yet?

SPEAKER_05

No, nothing? I got nothing today.

SPEAKER_06

Zip Zero Zilch? Yeah, I got nothing.

SPEAKER_09

Make some shit up, man. Come on.

SPEAKER_06

What should I make up? Uh uh, I don't know. Did you make up your bed? Oh.

SPEAKER_09

I mean, if I tell you what to make up, then I make it up. You make it up.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. Oh, wait, we have to do an inception. So, like, wouldn't it be nice if Yeti like asked a weird question right now?

SPEAKER_09

Doesn't at all.

SPEAKER_02

I bet he can't even think of a weird question. No, he can't.

SPEAKER_05

No, he can't. You want to know why? Because he's super stressed. He's super stressed about everything he has to do today. So he's having

What Song Matches Your Life

SPEAKER_05

he's having whiskey dick of the mind, is what's going on.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, here you go. Here you go. This is on the spot question. So if your life could have a background music, like let's say what's going on in your life, what kind of song would you be playing right now? What kind of genre?

SPEAKER_09

Peasy, peasy.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, and so so this is this is that this is Templetons.

SPEAKER_11

That was pretty music that plays in the background. Hi guys.

SPEAKER_05

We'll just change his name to Eeyore. Oh, but no, that's that's easy peasy limb and squeezy. Like each other's.

SPEAKER_11

I bet you Jay would have like that hat house music, that fast beats per minute songs, just be like turned down for what is Jay's music.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, yes, but I would I would I would be um definitely uh the Doom soundtrack from 2018.

SPEAKER_09

That's what I'm saying. Okay, so something alternative. Oh no, no, like which one? Rip rip and tear or um BFG division.

SPEAKER_05

It's easily it's easily my it's easily my go-to for anything when I'm like I got you.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, that's too much. That's too much.

unknown

No?

SPEAKER_00

What would you I think I think Grizz would have like a uh here comes the sun doo doo it's all right because I would have I would have the white people move that that would actually be a really good matchup if it's if it was working.

SPEAKER_03

It's just Jay. That was Jay.

SPEAKER_05

No, it's BFG division for sure, though.

SPEAKER_02

But yeti was what I would listen to working out.

SPEAKER_05

What would yours be?

SPEAKER_11

You ain't got to lie, Craig. I don't know what mine would be. If anything, it'd be like a slow jam, like RB type thing.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, so like Usher? I can see that.

SPEAKER_00

Seven o'clock on the dots.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not see that you know what it is.

SPEAKER_02

I got a thing that we would listen to as like teenagers when we first started driving.

SPEAKER_05

That's the soundtrack to our lives, which is wild because that like like my sound, my playlist from when I was a teenager to now has just utterly changed. It has taken a complete 180. Like, do I still listen to the stuff I listened to back then? Sure, but not as much, not nearly as much.

SPEAKER_11

Like what do you find yourself listening to more of now? Like, what's your go-to stuff now?

SPEAKER_05

Like, honestly, it's more soundtracks. Like, I have been blaring the uh devil may cry season two soundtrack. Well, what type of music is that? Like alternative, kind of kind of rockish, yeah. Cause they they got they got a lot of papa roach in there and and and yeah, yeah, a bunch of things. That's wow, that's interesting.

SPEAKER_11

Because I mean growing up, I mean, we were hardcore rap fans.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, like I said, don't get me wrong, I'm still bumping that. You know what I mean? Like there will there will be days I'm like, you know what? I haven't thugged it out in a long time.

SPEAKER_02

So sometimes you gotta walk with your chest up, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Seriously, seriously, seriously.

SPEAKER_02

I felt I felt that yesterday. I was like, I've been listening to um more like melancholy music, you know, like not so um off topic. The I have been listening to like stuff that has the Beatles on it. See, um I knew it. Which is so funny.

SPEAKER_06

Like answer that phone because I fucking called it.

SPEAKER_02

But what's funny about that is it's like it's not just stuck there, like I've I've been that through all the way to like stuff like Chris Stapleton, where it's like boom's rock country, yep, kind of stuff. And uh I've been there for a little while. And yesterday I was like, I don't remember why, but I was just like, I need to I had this feeling of like I need to feel more motivated. So I switched my playlist to um uh D smoke and it was like music that it was like his music and then like people that sound like him.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

And um I really like like when I watched that Netflix show, like I really fell in love with him and uh a couple people on season two.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think season two was as strong as season one. I agree, but I really, really, really, really like J Taj uh from season two.

SPEAKER_11

That's that's the Hispanic dude, right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's the guy that should have won. Yes, should have but didn't. Yes, yeah, because they they gave it to that kid from Atlanta, which he was good, but he he was he was good, but Jay Taj was way better.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, yeah, by leaps and bones, by leaps and bones.

SPEAKER_02

And this is how much better I think Jay Taj was and is. It's like he's doing stuff right now, like right. The other kid is kind of like I I mean, I'm sure he's trying to do stuff too, but I I don't know that he's doing much.

SPEAKER_11

I think I think Jay Taj got more fans and more of a fan base after that show than the other guy did, in my opinion. Because I was I was looking at the uh at the comment section, and wow, after after I watched it, I went straight to the comments and like on Reddit or whatever, and I was just reading what people were posting, and it it was like I said, leaps and bounds. That's why I'm saying leaps and bounds, because so many people were team Taj versus the other guy. Yeah, but in perspective, I don't even know the other guy's name. Damn, that's Dray TL.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's that's yeah, that's what it was.

SPEAKER_06

Dray TL, that's what it was.

SPEAKER_05

I'm curious as to like the amount of hustle they've been putting in, you know what I mean? Like, did one did one actually want it more than the other? It's possible because just you know, the the person that won might just be trying to ride that wave for as long as they possibly can and just like know the ride.

SPEAKER_02

I think that I think that might be it, but that the the issue I see with that is you might fade, right? Right, you know, it's that's so interesting because unless you make enough to never have to work again. If you made enough to never have to work again, yeah, fade. Do your thing.

SPEAKER_11

Like one hit wonder that shit. Right. Why why break your back if you've got it made? Yeah, dude. I I wouldn't. I I understand that concept. I mean, if you want that quick fuck, but for longevity purposes, you gotta hustle and you gotta continue to hustle. Correct. Um, you know, and and just comparing season one to Sarah 2 season two, and I know we're way off topic though, but D Smoke, his albums won awards. Like he's uh he's very known and he's really very good. He replied through Seattle recently. All of his songs have substance and actually have a story behind. It's not just words put on a yeah, it's just not words put on a beat to bob your head. It makes you think and it puts you, yeah. It's these smoke is very powerful.

SPEAKER_02

He's a fucking poet, dude.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So he's definitely not Aubrey Graham, is what you're saying. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Anyway, is there is there not a Reddit story somewhere that we have to read?

SPEAKER_06

He stole your flow. He stole your flow. Bar for bar.

SPEAKER_05

Bar for I I hear you. I'm here, I'm hearing what you're saying. But listen, I'm too big of a podcast personality to deal with the likes of Aubrey Graham. Okay. So let's get into I'm totally kidding. Let's get into this Reddit story.

Reddit Roommate Courtesy Fight

SPEAKER_05

One through five. One through five, what? Reddit stories? That's it. Simple thing, one through five. Two.

SPEAKER_04

You're right there.

SPEAKER_11

Sure, go ahead. Am I for asking my brother to let me know when he's having people Am I the asshole for asking my brother to let me know when he's having people over? Has people over. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

He's the typo, obviously.

SPEAKER_11

Bop behavior. No. Am I the asshole for asking my brother to let me know when he's having people, has people over.

SPEAKER_05

That doesn't mean he's over when he has people over. That's what he's trying to ask. It probably typoded. It's a typo. Calm down, it's a fucking typo. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_11

I'm 23-year-old female, Lou and my 23-year-old brother. We've been having this fight for years, and it's finally coming to a head. We have we have a shared living space in my room, is right off the main living area. So to get out of my room, I have to walk through main area through through the main area to get to the bathroom. I have to walk through the main area. Me and my brother are very close whenever when we were younger. Like high school age, we did share a lot of the same friends. We hung out with each other's friends. Now that we're both fully adults, we don't mix as much, and he has a lot of guy friends over. I never mind him having friends over. I'm in a deep I'm a deep sleeper, but I and I sleep with a loud fan fan and the loud TV, so it never really bothers me. What brother bothers me is he never lets me know when there's going to be people there, and if there's already people there before I arrive home. I've tried approaching this very in every way possible. I'm very direct and there's no miscommunication. It's always turns into a fight, and he tells me that I'm being dramatic, and there's no reason I should know when there's people there. I've tried explaining every way of why I feel I need, I should know, like privacy, respect, and cleaning up my stuff. Everyone that comes over has to use my restroom, and when my he has people over with my dirty laundry, etc., out on the bathroom floor makes me super frustrated and obviously embarrassed. I would always pick up if I knew people were coming over. Side note, he cleans nothing. He never he has people over without picking a single thing up. I've told him a million times that I'll just pick everything up before he has people over if he just lets me know. He refuses to do it, and I don't understand why he acts like I'm asking him an obscene request and just tells me that I'm so dramatic and there's no reason I shouldn't need to need to know. I don't understand because to me it seems so simple and obvious, but it makes me feel like I'm crazy. It's just normal to want to know when there's going to be people in my place of living, also. It's not like a simple, oh, I forgot to tell you, it's a full heart stop. I'm I am refusing to let you. I'm refusing to tell you if there's people coming over because you don't need to know why. You don't need to know slash why do you need to know? Okay. Not the asshole.

SPEAKER_09

No, 100%. Not even fucking close. No. Just imagine if you walked into your fucking house, your apartment, or whatever, and there's just people there.

SPEAKER_05

Where did all these people come from?

SPEAKER_02

If I had a roommate, is this a roommate situation, yeah? Even though they are like brother and sister, roommate, yes.

SPEAKER_09

It is a roommate situation, but like just like conflict, like you have a roommate, you walk in, and there's a bunch of people that are in your house. You don't know who the fuck they are, you don't know where the fuck they came from, you don't know why they're there. Or you just you live alone and you walk in, and there's just a bunch of people fucking in your house.

SPEAKER_06

Fucking in your house. That's great.

SPEAKER_09

I hope there's not a craze. Not on my couch.

SPEAKER_11

Taking a mental note of who's attractive, and if there's enough attractive people, your boy's getting naked and joining in.

SPEAKER_08

No, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_09

GTF. Like you have to have respect for the people who like share a living space with you.

SPEAKER_02

Well, they they clearly didn't set boundaries when they agreed to live together because they probably have this nonverbal living situation from when they grew up in their house.

SPEAKER_11

Together, right.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So so there's two there's two things I'm diagnosing. One, uh if if you feel like you need to clean your space up before people come over, then and I'm just saying this because I used to be this way, and I'm trying to not be this way. Uh, that means that you don't pick up after yourself very often and you want to have that chance to like clean up. There is a thing there is a difference between like living like a messy person and then just having a lived-in space. Because like we all live and exist and do things and yada yada yada. Like my my studio space is a mess right now, but I have accepted that it's a mess. I don't care. Um and like if someone is coming over to like come into the space, I do tidy it up, but I don't care that things are everywhere. Um I would care if there was like trash and shit everywhere. Uh or like like with my apartment, um, I used to just like have the chair that has all the clothes, you know what I'm saying, instead of like putting them in the hamper or putting them away or whatever. Um, but I'm trying to be better than that. So when someone hits me up and like, hey, can I come over? Like my buddy, my buddy David uh will sometimes come over after work, and I don't have to like put my apartment back together for him to come over. Like, I'm trying to have my shit together all the time.

SPEAKER_11

I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna agree or disagree with that statement because I I'm the same way. Like I could clean my house and be like, oh, we're gonna have people over in like a day or two. Like subconsciously, like, I know I just cleaned my house and it's not a fucking mess. Like, there have been times. Wife, not have not cleaned the house, and we have people over, and they're like, Hey, sorry about the mess. We didn't get the chance to clean. And people look around and be like, Yeah, it's not messy. You guys are fucking high. What are you talking about? I think it's subconsciously, like, yeah. You see something that you don't like, whether it's whether it's small, whatever with case may be, you just feel like you have to clean, and that's just the way I am.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's the difference between living in like having a lived in space, right? Okay. Like you have a lived in space, and you didn't like like the blanket is like across the couch instead of like nicely putting like a Pinterest picture. Right, right. That would be your version of cleaning, is like making the blanket look nice, where if it's just crumbled up on the couch, right? That's just lived in space, right? Right. That's the difference I'm talking about. I gotcha, I got you. And then you have your like there's trash everywhere.

SPEAKER_11

No, no, no. There's no, there's never trash back. Right, right.

SPEAKER_02

But that's but that's some people, some people it sounds like this Reddit person, like they have their clothes all over the place or whatever.

SPEAKER_11

Well, she sounds like my wife, to be honest with you, because she's like when she gets home and she she goes to take a shower, she just makes a pile of dirty clothes in in the bathroom, you know. Yeah, yeah. And then like at the end of the week, she puts it in a clothes hamper, takes it downstairs, and does her laundry. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08

I do that shit too.

SPEAKER_11

What it sounds like is this brother has people over on random days, even during school nights. Which that would bother me because I I'm not a huge fan of doing stuff during the week. And if I just walk into the house and there's people there, I'm like, yo, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_05

I think one of her biggest, I think one of her biggest beefs is the fact that he doesn't pick up. She she made it a point, she made it a point to to note he does not pick up. So what is he also leaving around the apartment, the house, whatever it is. Well, no, no, I mean, I mean, it depends. Like, is he a slob? Is it just clothes? Is it trash? Is it shit? You know what I'm saying? Like, like, like at that point, it's like, and and there is such a thing as secondhand embarrassment, right? Like, she can she can feel a type of way like I would because they're gonna be judging her. Right, they're gonna judge me too. I I'm I'm also living here, you know what I'm saying? Like we share this space. If you're bringing people over, we need to clean up. Let's keep it nice. Yeah, let's keep it nice. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, yeah, she might she might be like you said, I go into a lot of people's houses during the day, and and so many times do I hear people say that that exact same thing. Pardon the mess. And there are so many times where I'm like, this is not a mess. I've seen a mess. You know what I'm saying? Like, I have seen messy, I've seen filthy. This is nothing. Oh, I got a question.

SPEAKER_11

You're talking about you seem messy. Is it the nicer houses that are usually messy, or is it the cheaper houses?

SPEAKER_05

So it goes both ways. Like it does it, it's not you don't, but you don't see more in one or the other. Okay, it is it is it's it's it's not I know why Yeti asked that question.

SPEAKER_02

Why um the days well, because the days of when I was behind the wheel delivering uh rural counties. Yeah, yeah. You can tell a lot about people when you see their yard.

SPEAKER_05

No, no, no, I I hear you, I hear you, but um I have um I have seen the the the cheapest of houses that have looked immaculate, I've seen the cheapest of houses that have that have looked like shit. I've seen the most expensive houses that hoarders live in that you only have one path to walk through.

SPEAKER_11

That's crazy. And and you just think you would that because you got money and you got the nice house that you would keep stuff. It's not how that works. Nice, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

It's not how that works.

SPEAKER_11

I've come across so many nice houses. And I'm just like, oh my god, you live here?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's it's wild because uh there was there was a house that was I mean, beautiful house, beautiful home. I was like, oh, this is this is cozy, right? Went down to the basement, they had cat shit, and it was carpeted. They had cat shit everywhere. Walked into that basement, it smelled like cat shit. I was like, what the fuck, dude? Are we serious? Like, I mean, it was dry, it was caked into the carpet. Like certain spots probably used to that smell, yep, so they don't even smell yep, and that's why I'm like, it it's it's it's not, you know, there it's it's everywhere, so it's like it's ridiculous that people can live like that. And that's why I say, I've seen Messi, you know, I've seen I've seen filthy fucking houses, bro.

SPEAKER_11

So I think one of the worst things I've ever seen is I went to an apartment complex, and it was a nicer apartment complex. And I knock on the door, woman comes to the door, opens it up, and I hand her the package, and like as she's standing there, you know, she's got the door open in her hands, however, whatever, and I can see like through her arms or through her, you know, the gap between her head and her top of her arm, and I can just see multiple piles of dog shit inside the apartment. And I'm just like the fact that I seen two piles just makes me believe that there was more piles. Oh, there's scotching their way around the apartment, yep, not cleaning that shit up. And people are people are okay living like that. I don't do that.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I don't know. I woke up so so my dog I'm not judging, but I'm just wondering.

SPEAKER_11

So my dog Roxy, she's she's getting older, and she's had two accidents in this past week with her with holding her pee. Um the one time I came out and it was on the hardwood. Actually, both time it was on the hardwood, I'm sorry. And I stepped in at the first day, almost slipped. I was like, damn it. And this is at like, I don't know, one o'clock in the morning. You know what I did? Cleaned it up. I fucking cleaned it up. I cleaned it up at one o'clock in the morning, half asleep, half everything. I fucking went and got some Lysol, paper towels, I bent down and I fucking cleaned it up. Why? Because I'm not gonna let that sit dry, I'm not gonna let that shit smell at my house, you know. And then the other time we got up and then Emily stepped in it, and and what did she do immediately? Fucking cleaned it up.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like one is supposed to do, right?

SPEAKER_11

Absolutely the fuck not.

SPEAKER_02

It's a responsible and disciplinary action that a lot of people don't have for themselves. Yep. Because a lot of us are struggling.

SPEAKER_11

I couldn't imagine just stepping in and be like, uh, fuck it. Because it's the thing, it's gonna dry, it's gonna no, I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

Cause because it's not, it's not, it's not even just the fact of of stepping in it, right? Like, like, like you guys mentioned, it's gonna you go and well you smell it, like the smell, right?

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, the smell is it's gonna yeah, yeah, it's gonna seep into the wood, and you're like it's gonna ruin. And here's the thing. We don't have I'm pretty sure that's not I'm pretty sure it's like laminated hardwood flooring, whatever that fake shit is. That shit's gonna get ruined real quickly if you let that shit just fucking sit there. Oh yeah, you let it absorb, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's just gonna get ruined, and like see that's the thing, whether it's linoleum or plastic, or vinyl or or wood, like it still has pores, right? Right, like they still absorb liquid. Yep.

SPEAKER_05

And it's just I don't know. Some people some people, it's it's it's shocks me every day whenever I'm like, yo, what? Like, how how are you do how are you doing this? Like, burn this house down, start start fresh. Start fresh. Yeah, yeah. Burn this house down, start fresh.

SPEAKER_11

Right. So to get back on like the cleaning up and like, yeah, she just wants to know when he when he's gonna have people there. I don't think that's too much to even ask.

SPEAKER_08

No, it's not either.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, it's like just hey, are you gonna have people over? Yeah, cool. Let me just let me just pick up this little pile of shit and we're good. We're straight.

SPEAKER_06

Right.

SPEAKER_11

Because it sounds like the house isn't a mess. It just sounds like there's stuff around, like clutter, maybe.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

She didn't say we to make it look more presentable, if I had to guess. Right. Yeah. Which which at that point I think it's time to sit down, have a discussion, right? Between the two of them and say, hey, listen, this happens a lot. I think we need to, you know, even if you don't want to just tell me, write it, you know, just just I don't know. Like, I don't know what the best solution would be there.

SPEAKER_11

I hate to say this, but it's almost like she's gonna have to go out of her way and be like, hey, what are your plans for today? Right.

SPEAKER_05

Like she has to do with the conversation, which is which is crazy. Because even just as like like common decency, uh like I want to make sure that if I'm sharing the space, hey, I have people coming over, you good with that. I'm I'm gonna check with the roommate. You good with that? Because I don't know your plans, I don't know what your plans are. I don't know if you have people coming over. Right. I don't know if you have people coming now. Granted, we could we could all just get along and have a big old party. That's that's that it is what it is, right? But regardless, I don't know what your plans are. Like uh, like a like if they the people you have coming over, if you have people coming over, is what you're doing like kind of important? Do you like it it it like if me and my people come over? Are we gonna get in the way of what you're doing? Like, are we gonna bump heads? How's this how's this gonna work?

SPEAKER_02

Like, how many people are coming over?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, how many people are coming over? Right. Do we have enough room to accommodate everybody? That's just common common courtesy, just to be like, yo, yeah, you good with this? Like, are you okay if people come over? Like, it's now this is interesting.

SPEAKER_11

This is actually a really good point. I'm I'm I just dove into the comment section. It to me, okay. So she said that everyone comes over and uses her bathroom, which is the common bathroom, right? So it does sound like it's an apartment type setting. Yeah, so it sounds like the other bath the other bedroom has the master bath, right? Probably it sounds like it could be a two-bed, two bath. So if that's the case, people are saying switch rooms. I mean, you could, you could switch rooms, and he can do whatever he wants. Yeah, you've got your little but then but here's the thing though you're avoiding conversation, you're avoiding whatever, and you're just letting people have their fucking way.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you gotta open the dialogue. Yeah, or or or if you don't want to switch rooms, you again you can be courteous and say, Hey, don't use that. You you can use my bathroom. You gotta use the you gotta use the restroom, use my bathroom. Obviously, if two people have to use the bathroom, hey, are you using your bathroom? Because you know, I got two people that got a piss real quick, or whatever.

SPEAKER_11

And then that's when you say, that's when you say, Nope, because my shit's not clean. I didn't know you were having people. See, you could really do that. Yeah, you could because even then, like if he's gonna leave stuff around and not clean up, like what if she starts leaving like tampons around, like boxes of tampons around, like just like little little things. It'd be like stop watching random shit on the Netflix and put on like kid shows so it messes up the algorithm, but when he turns it on, he's gonna search for the shit that he wants.

SPEAKER_05

It just that just that just becomes tit for tat, and that creates animosity, especially again amongst two people that obviously have an issue communicating what the fuck they need. That's yeah, which is crazy because they're siblings, so right, yeah, but not all siblings talk.

SPEAKER_11

I mean right.

SPEAKER_09

I guess here's one thing that's true. That is true. I'm I'm a pretty introverted person, like I'm not talkative. I like my privacy, I like my like space. So imagine like working a full day, being overstimulated by having to like deal with people all day, and the only thing you want to do is go home and like be left the fuck alone and chill, and you get there and there's people fucking everywhere. Gotcha, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yep, fucking in your bed, fucking on the floor, fucking in the back.

SPEAKER_02

I have a crazy thought. I have a crazy thought to that. If it if it's like if it were me and it bothered me that much, because this is why I don't have roommates. Hell yeah. I just I I I know that it would bother me too much, so I would just live alone. I would just find a way to live alone. Yeah, the thing is is the cost of living. I mean, we're gonna go down. No, I get it. I get it. Like I'm I I can't do much right now, but I take that over having a roommate and being able to have a little extra money because I I prioritize my peace. That no no no, I get it, you know. Yeah, that's fair. That is you can't you can't pay for that shit. Like that's that shit.

SPEAKER_05

That I feel like that should be something you know prior, right? Like you you should know about before getting into some people. No, you're right, you're right, especially if they're young, because I think they're like what 20s in the early 20s. The female's 24, the brothers 20.

SPEAKER_11

Yes, and then we're talking from a perspective of being in our late 30s, low 40s, mid 40s, know knowing ourselves a little better.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, knowing ourselves.

SPEAKER_11

Like, I'm trying to answer this from like my 20-year-old perspective, and I'm gonna tell you now, my 20-year-old perspective, we were having parties and having gatherings all the fucking time. Like, my my apartment was a fucking it had what what are those those revolving doors that just fucking spun and spun and spun. I mean, we had crazy ass parties.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, yeah, it's it's it you are in a different part of your life in your early 20s. So you know, and and I I don't know if they're students or what. I I I I'm just assuming off of a lot. I don't think I don't think they mention it, but I don't know. It's just it's again, it's a conversation that needs to be had.

SPEAKER_11

See, that's the thing, it needs to be a conversation. Because because looking at it from my 20-year-old body, my 20-year-old body would have done the tit for tat. Like if you're gonna have people over, yeah, and you're not gonna tell me, then fuck it. I'm gonna do the same thing and I'm gonna fucking out tit you. I promise you.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah. It's just it's just who can out petty who at that point. And it's yes, yes. Right now, listen, uh, no, I'm good. I'm good. Man, just conversate, bro. Just talk, just talk, because no fucking way. Like, like, could I get petty? Absolutely, I could, but I don't want to. I don't want, I choose not to.

SPEAKER_11

I would I would get a yes no board and just be like, yo, when you leave for the day, if you're gonna have people over, just slide this to the yes or slide this to the no, like right right next to the door, right next to the door as you walk out.

SPEAKER_05

Yes or no?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_02

So I don't know what to do. I know what my day is gonna look like. They just have to set ground rules, right? Like they open the conversation, set some ground rules, and if he doesn't agree to them, then that's kind of on him, you know. Right, right. Yeah, yeah. So you can revisit that conversation later of like, hey, you haven't agreed to these terms, this and the other, and then there's consequences, right? Yeah, but what do the consequences look like? Because you guys are living together.

SPEAKER_05

There's that's a discussion, that's a discussion to be had with them.

SPEAKER_02

They have to figure out for their parameters, yeah. That's a whole other camera. These are all like questions that need to be asked, right? Long story short conversation.

SPEAKER_11

You're definitely not the asshole. Not the asshole.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, not the asshole. Yeah, I wouldn't stress about it, like, yeah. Definitely not the asshole.

SPEAKER_05

So, anyway, you let us know what you think. Are they the asshole for wanting to know what's going on? Or would you protect your peace? I'm kicking everybody out. Y'all fucking on my sofa. What is going on here?

SPEAKER_11

Not on my couch.

SPEAKER_05

Get the fuck out of here. In my bathroom. In my bathroom? In my tub? What's wrong with you? That's crazy. My feet go in there.

SPEAKER_02

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05

Right. I might get athlete's foot from this. What is what is wrong with you people? I don't know if that's how athlete's foot works. Anyway.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna ask an athlete.

SPEAKER_05

I know it's a fungus. That's all I know. It's a fun guy, apparently. So, anyway, you let us know what y'all think. Uh, fire off in the comments. Um, I do want to ask a question though.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Have y'all ever just been like sitting at home and your imaginary roommate is like, I'm gonna have friends over, and doesn't tell you a single thing about it, and you just want to rage on them. You're like, oh, you stupid bitch. Why would you do this to me? Ah! And you're about to just like crash out because, like, you know, you have so much stuff to do. There you gotta walk the goldfish, you gotta clean the dirt, you got so many things to do throughout the day, and it's just pissing you off.

Focus is up 99 points, because right now we have a topic to get to, and I wanna be focused. Laser focused. Nobody's gonna piss me off with this. What are we talking about today, fellas?

Choosing Game Shows As The Topic

SPEAKER_05

Your mom? Probably. She'll probably be part of the conversation, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06

Game shows game shows? What kind of game shows? TV game shows. Some of the ones you liked, some of the ones you didn't like.

SPEAKER_00

Some of the ones you liked, some of the ones you didn't like, some of that stuff.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, basically just game shows. Game shows that were on from yesteryear, or game shows that are on now that we enjoy, that we don't find super awesome. Maybe there's one that got canceled that we want to come back because we miss it. Because it was fun, it was entertaining. I definitely have one of those, so let's kick it off right. I don't know how y'all want to do this. You just want to just fire off what you got, your list of game shows, and then we can get into it.

SPEAKER_11

Or should we should we before before we before

Defining What Counts As Game Show

SPEAKER_11

we start? I do have a question. What constitutes a game show? Because there's different variety of levels on it of game shows, I feel like.

SPEAKER_05

So I feel like I feel like a game show would have to be something that involves a game. Right? Like it's in the name game show. Like, like, like that's that's what I feel like ultimately a game show should be. There should be some sort of game to be played that has some sort of prize at the end of it.

SPEAKER_11

So as long as there's a prize at the end, it's a game show. I mean, I would think so. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

And a game to be played. And a game to be played. Not just the prize. It has to be the game to be played. Yes, Chris.

unknown

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02

My thought, my thought before uh Yeti says what he wants to say, um, because I kind of want to answer as well. Um I think as long as there is a competition in some sort where you're competing with other people and there is only one winner, or maybe like limited winners, I believe that to be a game show.

SPEAKER_11

Okay. With that being said, okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna throw out a couple examples and you guys give me a yay or a nay, okay? Okay. Let's go with have you guys heard of MTV's the challenge? No.

SPEAKER_05

I have I don't think I watched it.

SPEAKER_11

Okay, so the MTV the challenge basically it's been around for fuck 30, 40, 30 years, something like that. It's been around for a very, very long time. And basically it starts with a group, a large group of people, and each week they do a mini challenge, which puts people in first, and then those first place people can have some kind of say of what goes on for the final challenge of the day. Because on the final challenge, it's usually two people or two teams of two people go head to head, and whoever loses gets sent home, and the very end result is they have a mega challenge of like four or five people that compete for first, second, and third, and they all get like a money prize at the very end. Um one of the challenges the winner was able to either choose to take all the money or split the money with his partner. And in one in this particular case, he took all the money, which caused a lot of controversy. Anyways, is that considered a game show?

SPEAKER_05

I mean, it's a it's a game to be played, yes. Is it is it not a game?

SPEAKER_11

Okay, what about The Bachelor?

SPEAKER_05

There's no mini games, but the end result is No, that's not a game. Bachelor's not a game. Isn't that a technicality?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no, mmm. Isn't it considered a dating game? I don't think so. Their prize is Their prize is a relationship instead of money. So I think I think to restructure the idea of what a game show is, uh we have to consider because possibly a competition that that ends with a prize, but the prize doesn't necessarily have to be monetary, does it?

SPEAKER_05

Then we're then we're being very loose with the with with game show because then because then then then American Idol would be considered a game show.

SPEAKER_02

That's a competition, yeah. There isn't there a different difference between like a contest and a game show, probably. Is there? Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05

So what what Yeti just described five minutes ago with what Yeti just described with the challenge, right? Yeah, it's a game to be played. But but in but in all reality, I mean it's competition. It's competition. It's a different show. So so like so like so like a game show for me is like questions, right? Like you're asking me a question, like trivia. That's a game. Trivia is a game. To me, yeah, that is a game show because you you air you're airing something that is classified as a game, right? Tag is a game. Like if you play if they aired a uh a show of tag, that to me would be a game show. Yes, Grizz.

SPEAKER_02

Um what about something like Wheel of Fortune?

SPEAKER_05

I feel like that's a game.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because I do too. I'm just like poke, I'm trying to poke holes at what you're saying. Oh, I guess you are, because like what is because Wheel of Fortune's not necessarily questioning. Right, you're you're solving something, right? You're solving a phrase. Yeah, you're solving. Yeah, so again, a game is a puzzle, trivia, or a game.

SPEAKER_05

But if I'm cu if I'm competing with other people, that is classified as a competition. Are we being loose with are we being loose with the word game show? Because again, anything that if we're if we're going competition is classified as game show, then anything that has competition is gonna be a game show. The NFL is now a game show.

SPEAKER_11

No, that's that's sports, that's sports.

SPEAKER_05

But it is is it not a competition? Are they all competing? Are they all competing for one thing? I think so.

SPEAKER_02

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_05

Lombardi trophy. So is are we being very loose with game show?

SPEAKER_11

Okay, here's what I think, okay? And this is this is how I'm gonna answer it in my own head. I think game show is a very large umbrella. The title game show, okay? And underneath that game show, you have a lot of subsets, and I think you're gonna find the categories of something like a dating game show, a reality game show, yeah, yeah, a whatever else game show. I don't know. What'd you say? Trivia, like trivia or like visual solving or your solving show. Yes, and I think you're gonna, and then once you get underneath that, I think there's even gonna be another subsection of that to even fine-tune it. Now, I'm not a producer, I'm not a director, so I don't even know what those exact wordings would be, but that's what I think. I think anything that has people competing for a prize that and it contains eliminations and stuff of that nature. So I guess, in my words, then yes, the NFL would be game show, basketball would all be considered a game show.

SPEAKER_03

Game show. I think so. I okay, so I love this actually because all guess what?

SPEAKER_05

Guess what? It's football. I was gonna say, guess what? From here on out, whenever it's football season, I'm like, I gotta go. It's Sunday, my favorite game show's on.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Well, okay. So I would like to add, I I think that game show could be like a theme, and then you could you could fill it with anything, right? You can make anything into a game show. Like American Idol is a game show, you're just using talent to progress the stages, right? Uh, yeah, I I like that. I think so. Game show is pretty broad, but it is a game show.

SPEAKER_05

So we're using the loose definition of game show.

SPEAKER_11

I'm gonna just typed in what is considered loose. Game show. Okay. It says a game show is a broadcast or live entertainment program where individuals or teams compete by playing games, answering trivia questions, or solving puzzles to win cash trips or other prizes. They are typically guided by a host who explains the rules and narrates the competition, which is a football game to be fair. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because solving problem they're they're solving problems of how to progress the ball down the field. Right.

SPEAKER_11

Yep, right.

SPEAKER_07

So it's a game of chess, it's a human game of chess.

SPEAKER_11

So here would I exp what I explain and have it underneath, I'm exactly right, because underneath the common types of game shows, you have quiz and trivia shows, you have panel shows, yeah, you have world and puzzle shows, right, pricing and stunt shows, yeah, yeah, dating and relit relationship uh shows. Yeah. So yeah, that's how they break them down.

SPEAKER_02

There you go, there's your umbrella.

SPEAKER_05

So every so everything's a game show, is what I'm hearing.

SPEAKER_11

So for the sake of this conversation, I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_05

Is that what we're doing? Okay, I think escaping shows.

SPEAKER_11

I say we leave out scrivery. So because why?

SPEAKER_02

So I'll I'll accept that.

SPEAKER_05

Well, the purpose of the thing is that the most important game show ever.

SPEAKER_02

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not disagreeing with you. Hold on, hold on. I think what Yeti's saying is for the sake of this conversation moving forward, for this bubble, yes, we're gonna exclude sports. That's starting starting at the end of this show when we're out in public, we're gonna use the NFL as game show.

SPEAKER_11

Because right now you have the NBA finals going on. Game show. NBA game show.

SPEAKER_07

The NBA game show. I'm literally, I'm gonna fuck everybody up with that.

SPEAKER_08

I absolutely oh, are you watching the finals?

SPEAKER_05

You mean the NBA game show? They're like, what? Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_03

This is my favorite part of the season.

SPEAKER_05

My favorite part of the yeah, it's my favorite part of the season. My favorite favorite part of the game show right here is when we find out who wins for the season finale, dude.

SPEAKER_02

I'm so excited. The season finale.

SPEAKER_03

So on time out, don't win this. It's gripted.

SPEAKER_07

Game show. Game show.

SPEAKER_03

You are welcome.

SPEAKER_04

Game show.

SPEAKER_03

Now you understand the aluminum foil hat.

SPEAKER_05

Because I honestly feel like we we spiraled. We spiraled.

SPEAKER_03

We went from this is a good idea to Holy Kid, it's all stage. It's on stage.

SPEAKER_11

I think we need to put a pen in this and come back later. Game shows.

SPEAKER_03

We just unintentionally changed the podcast episode from game shows to everything's rigged.

SPEAKER_05

Everything's rigged. We circled back to conspiracy theories. We did. Yeah, we did. Part infinity. Yeah, part infinity.

SPEAKER_11

Jesus fuck. That is so funny how we did that.

Turning Sports Into A Game Show

SPEAKER_05

So anyway, anyway, tell us what your favorite game show is.

SPEAKER_11

Well, I guess mine's the NBA. NFL. Speak boys.

SPEAKER_05

Fucking shit. All right. Um, so who wants to kick us off with their favorite game show? Whatever show we're bringing to the table. Just tell us what your favorite show is. How about that? Who wants to start?

Supermarket Sweep And 90s TV

SPEAKER_11

All right. So my favorite show because we've established everything you watch on TV is a fucking game show. It's a game show.

SPEAKER_07

Everything is a game show, apparently.

SPEAKER_02

This is a game show.

SPEAKER_06

This is having our own individual Truman shows. That's right. Da But no, um, to get us to get us going, is Yeti taking the rings?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, Yeti's taking the ring.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah. Um my favorite show is Supermarket Sweep. Supermarket Sweep. Dude.

SPEAKER_02

That was a good thing that's a throwback. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Here's the thing. I didn't know this, but it first aired in 1965.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it'd been on for a while.

SPEAKER_11

I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02

I think that's when I started watching it.

SPEAKER_05

Get the fuck out of here, Grace. Well, he said actually, actually, it was 1966 when I first caught wind of it.

SPEAKER_11

So weren't you still hanging with your dad around that time?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, somewhere around there. Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_05

We'd hang out, we watched some supermarket sweep.

SPEAKER_04

And then he'd go to bed.

SPEAKER_03

I only heard it. I never saw it. I can hear it. I never saw it.

SPEAKER_08

I hate it here.

SPEAKER_05

I hate it here. So supermarket sweep. Why don't you tell the listeners, those that don't know what supermarket sweep is, tell give them a little insight on what that is.

SPEAKER_11

Oh man, so it was the it was a group of contestants, uh teams of two, and in the year I think it was four teams, I think. Um they would just start. It was a 30-minute show. Um they'd start and they'd have to race around this the uh the uh the stage supermarket. Yeah, the stage supermarket to find certain products that the host would be like, hey, he would give like an a clue. Like I would bust through the walls yelling uh oh yeah, you yelling a special uh a phrase while holding a picture, and then they'd be like, Oh, Kool-Aid, and they'd have to go to the aisle that had the Kool-Aid, and they'd have to find the certain product of it, and they'd have to bring it back, and like whoever found it first would get time added to the very end, and at the very end, you had to like get so much dollars worth the most would win, and the the mini games that you answered prior to the big fun to the final at the end, you would get, like I said, time added to you, so like you would start you know five seconds faster than somebody, second place would start seconds faster than the third person, the third team, and then the third team would start faster than the fourth team. Um, it was a lot of fun, and I just remember like like like in the 90s. Um I used to watch it a lot. I'd I'd come home, my parents would be watching it, and I'd watch it. It had was comical, and it was just fun to watch, and that's what I enjoyed about it. It was simple and it was just fun to um they've tried to rebring it back a couple different times back in uh 2000 and 2003, and then the most recent being 2020 to 2022. Um obviously it's it's fun for a little bit, but then it gets repetitive, and pretty sure that's why it's been dropped and picked up, drop and picked up, drop and picked up. Because it's it's it's fun for a little bit and then you kind of just get bored of it.

SPEAKER_05

I mean, I mean, wouldn't that be fair to say about a lot of game shows that they get repetitive?

SPEAKER_11

Because like yes and no, because there's some that I, in my opinion, I think can kind of stand the time. I think it also depends on the host, too, because if you look at oh yeah, Steve Harvey, you look at Family Feud, I mean, there's people that can watch that for hours. I mean, even though it's the same, but Steve Harvey's a funny host. I mean, every I think everybody on the podcast can agree to that. So just watching him interact with the different professions is just comical, in my opinion. So I think like I said, I think the host also brings a lot. I mean, look at what you look at Jeopardy, you look at Wheel of Fortune, all those people who I mean.

SPEAKER_05

I was just trying to be edgy. I don't really think Steve Harvey's training.

SPEAKER_11

I know you weren't, but I didn't I didn't I didn't feed the troll, I kept it moving, and do you see how he got quiet? Had to apologize because god damn it, I'm acknowledging him now, and that's why he's popping around like two legs. Yes. Anyways, I'm done. Fuck off, Jay.

SPEAKER_04

I'm done. I'm done. Steve Harvey's funny, he's my favorite. He's my favorite, Mr. Potato Head. So Chris. Yo.

SPEAKER_07

So Chris, do you have a favorite?

SPEAKER_02

I do actually. Um I don't I do think that this uh can be considered my favorite of all time, but it's definitely my favorite of

Jeopardy Streaks And Trivia Love

SPEAKER_02

right now.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Um, but I've always been a fan of this show, even as a kid. Um is Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_07

I is Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_02

I watched it with my family as a kid, and like now uh like I don't know how if anybody is into Jeopardy, but recently there was a a guy, Jamie, that was on like a really long streak, I think like 20 plus days, maybe even 30. I forget how many days in a row, but he's like the fifth contestant to ever get like a significant run. And uh it's it was really special to witness because um the current host, Ken Jennings, is a former contestant who holds the title for the most games won consecutively, I think.

SPEAKER_08

Yep.

SPEAKER_02

Uh of like 70 or 75 games, I forget. Yeah, 70, 74. Um so it's really cool because like people started having the discourse of like asking Ken, like, how do you feel? Like, what like how would you feel if Jamie beat your record? Because he was like getting he was like, I think close to the halfway point of his record. And I've I remember watching like a little clip on Instagram Reels, and he was basically like in support of it. Like it's I I kind of like put myself in those shoes, like, how would I feel if someone was beating my record? Would I be like, Oh, I gotta get back out there, or would I be like, dang, that's really cool.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta you gotta like cheer them on because like you know what kind of work it took to get to where you were, right? So you'd say, come on, do better. Yeah, do better. Like you're the next generation, you're the next step up. Let's go. Let's prove to these people that the next generation can outdo the previous generation, right? So and honestly, at this at this point, I don't know if he really cares um too much because I know Ken is on uh The Chase, which is which is one game show that I love watching. It's uh heavy, heavy trivia. So I don't know if you guys have heard of The Chase, but um they have they have three does he can compete or is he a host? So they they kind of like so they have I think they have four, either four or like five, like total geniuses that are like that were super great at um trivia shows. Like uh again, Ken Ken Jennings being one of them.

SPEAKER_11

Um is this one of your favorites?

SPEAKER_05

I'm sorry, is this uh it's just it's just one that I watch a lot of. But I got I was I just because I I'm just going off of with you know Ken being he was he was recently a Jeopardy host and all that kind of stuff. But um they have three contestants, they're they work as a team, and the way it works is they'll ask um they'll bring one of the contestants up into the middle of the room, they'll ask them a series of trivia questions, and the more they get right, the more money they make. And then they go to the chaser, who is like can, you know, say Ken Jennings is up there, right? And they have to compete against him because what they'll do is they'll put their money up on this screen on this board, right? And it's it's where they'll start, and then they'll what the what the uh what the chaser will do is offer them two different sums of money. One is lower because it'll start them a step closer to where they bank it, because they have to answer so many right to bank the money that they got. And that'll keep them away from the chaser because if the chaser answers more questions than you, then you're out. You go you go the fuck home. You don't you don't get shit. And then and then it and then that and then there were two, right? Uh and sometimes they get everybody, sometimes they don't. Um, or that or they'll offer you more, but you'll start closer to the chaser. So if you're feeling confident, like you can out, you know, outsmart the chaser, you know what I mean? They'll they'll offer you a much larger sum of money than what you won. Now if you bank it, yeah, you if you bank it, you go back and then the next person comes up, rinse and repeat, right? And then at the end of the show, all three of you, if you all make it, uh, they will ask you another series of um questions within I think it's like two minutes or something like that. And you'll you gotta answer like a ton of them because then what they'll do, they'll turn around and give the chaser the same amount of time, two minutes, and if they answer obviously more questions, everything that you banked, you don't get it. So it's it's a it's a it's an interesting game show, and I like it because there's a lot of witty banter back and forth between the contestants and the chaser. Because like Ken Jennings is one of our favorites to watch because he's he's funny and he is he the the motherfucker really is smart, like he knows whippy too.

SPEAKER_02

Like he go, go ahead.

SPEAKER_11

No, I was just gonna say I'm looking at like the the the wins for Jeopardy, and I'm looking at like who has first, who has second, who has third. Ken Jennings has 74 wins in Jeopardy consecutively in 2020 and 20 in 2004. Second place is Amy Snyder with 40 wins from 21 to 22, and then Matt is third with 38, and then James is fourth with 32, and then Jamie Ding with 31. So the top five. 31. Yeah, 31. So to put this in perspective 74, the next closest person is 34 wins away. That's almost half. Now, I don't watch a lot a lot of Jeopardy. Is Jeopardy a nightly thing or a weekly?

SPEAKER_06

I think it's nightly.

SPEAKER_02

I think it's nightly. Yeah, it's nightly. Yeah, I'm sure they do bulk batching of recording so they could like sprinkle it out. Like they're all pre-recorded, I think.

SPEAKER_11

Right, yes. I think that I think you're right. I think they are pre-recorded.

SPEAKER_02

Uh we don't know how I don't know how pre-recorded. Like, I don't think they're months in advance. I think they might be a couple weeks in advance. Probably.

SPEAKER_05

I think they do all the recording, like we're not producers, we're not producers or anything, you know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know exactly. But anyway, Chris, I know you said Jeopardy is is Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Jeopardy is probably my favorite. Um, I would say Wheel of Fortune might be like a close second for that like favorite of all time.

SPEAKER_08

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_02

Um, yeah, because I like we would always watch those because those two came on like back to back.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

They did. Yeah, they were they were hand-in-hand game shows.

SPEAKER_11

More than likely, if you watched one, you've seen the other. Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I gotcha. Okay. So Temple. To this day also like trivia too. Oh, sorry, sorry. No, no, no, you're good. Like to this day, I love trivia, so I still watch Jeopardy. Like, I like going to the bar and like going to the house. Yeah, trivia and nights. Trivia nights are always fun.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, trivia nights are always fun.

SPEAKER_02

Table fun, because you usually win shit, you know.

SPEAKER_05

Table 10.

SPEAKER_02

Table tenn.

SPEAKER_05

Table dead. Game shows. Game shows.

SPEAKER_09

Um, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy. Nice.

SPEAKER_05

So those your favorites or are you just naming game shows?

SPEAKER_09

No, one of my favorites. That's what I grew up on.

SPEAKER_05

I gotcha. So you just remember you just remember growing up watching those watching those two game shows? Do you watch game shows at all now or not really?

SPEAKER_09

I do not. I don't I watch TV at all now.

SPEAKER_05

What? What do you do on your free time? Sleep. I was gonna say, don't say what I thought you were gonna say. You know, like beat it into submission or something.

unknown

Beat it!

SPEAKER_00

No one wants to be defeated!

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, just like just like that. But uh you know, so you don't watch any any game shows now? You just remember watching Wheel of Fortune in Jeopardy? Yep. That's cool. Cool. Alright, you still like trivia to this day or not really?

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, I do. I love trivia. Trivia's always fun. I know a bunch of stupid shit that nobody should know. Pop quiz, asshole.

SPEAKER_11

So if if you were to watch TV and you were to turn on a gangster, out of those two, which one would you turn on?

SPEAKER_09

Out of Will Virgin and Jeopardy? Yeah. Probably Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_05

This guy's so interested. Jeopardy. I mean Jeopardy's the go-to, right?

SPEAKER_11

Like Jeopardy is always I think it all depends on the person because I was an idiot. So I never I think out of the Jeopardies right, what? Out of all the Jeopardies I've watched, I think I've gotten one question right.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, some of 'em are really hard. No, they are. You know, a good place to a good place to start, like if you want to try it and 'cause you're smarter than you give yourself credit for. They have some really obscure fucking questions.

SPEAKER_03

They do.

SPEAKER_02

Um watch the celebrity jeopardy.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because they they make uh the those questions are off. More softer, yeah, more software.

SPEAKER_11

Easier to make you feel good better. So no, because between okay, so just more common, I guess. No, I get it. I get

American Gladiators And Missing Magic

SPEAKER_11

it. I get what you're trying to say. But like out of besides supermarket suite, my next favorite would be American Gladiators. Oh, I love that joke when I was a kid. So, and then here's the thing the reason I love that one is because people were competing. I love a competing game show.

SPEAKER_02

So that's one that I want to come back. Is the gladiator. It is back? Yes. I know it's but it's not the same. I know it came back, but I thought it got canceled again.

SPEAKER_11

Okay, you guys, okay. So American Gladiators started in what 89 to 96. That was the OG where you had like that's the one that we all grew up on, right? Did I say 6'7?

SPEAKER_05

No, I no, I was just saying 6'8.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, okay, okay in my head. Then it came back in 28. Or 2000. I always get there.

SPEAKER_02

My guy's living in the future. I'm five.

SPEAKER_11

I am. It came back in in 2008, and Hulk was Hulk Hogan was the incredible Hulk. The host. And I watched that one and it wasn't it wasn't that great. It was not that great at all. I'm sorry. At all.

SPEAKER_02

Now that's because Hulk Hogan was the host.

SPEAKER_11

Oh no, it just when you when you watched it, it didn't feel like didn't feel like American Gladiators. Keep in mind, the original American Gladiators, if you watch the uh the uh what what the hell is that thing called? Yeah, that's what it's called. When we when you watch the uh shit documentary about uh American Gladiators, that first there was a lot of cocaine going on. So much fucking cocaine, bro. Cocaine There is a lot of cocaine going on. Look at it, bro. I take it you watch the documentary having interviews with cocaine stains off their noses. There was so much cocaine, it was cocaine infused, okay? And I think that's what made that 90s brother. That's why they could go as long as they did.

SPEAKER_02

Do you remember the like rocket thing that they would shoot at the target?

SPEAKER_11

Oh yeah, the the air, the air cannon. Yes, so they re-released it just just this past year, and the Miz. You guys know who the Miz is from wrestling? Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, you're just hosting the current one. Oh watched a few episodes, and it feels like the original American glass, just like the original Coca-Cola recipe. The cocaine is missing, and you can just tell you though that the cocaine is missing, and you definitely you can tell the magic is missing. I think we just need to legalize cocaine. We need to get these 90 shows crazy statements back to the boy we needed that we need. I'm sorry, I've never heard Jay's 100% right. There was so much cocaine.

SPEAKER_07

There was just so much fucking cocaine usage. I'm like, how did y'all do it? Like, what do you what do you mean?

SPEAKER_02

It was like they were it there was two ways. It was more pure, and they were probably microdosing it.

SPEAKER_05

That could be, that could be like like just putting a little bit right here and just going, yeah, and then you're like, all right, I'm ready for this next challenge.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, do we just like a little fingernail dip under the tongue?

SPEAKER_11

Oh you can. I mean, I I'm branching off to this, but like you can even look at wrestling, for example. Oh, yeah. Back in the early 90s, there were so many drugs and so much cocaine. That's why those promos, if you compare those promos to today's promos, they were the quality was so much okay. I'm gonna say this, and there's a reason for it, but the quality of promos in the early 90s was so much better, was because there was magic because there was there was booger sugar, like they weren't they weren't acting like today.

SPEAKER_02

They're trying to act personality, those guys weren't acting, they were actually that crazy.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, they were fun, they were fucking nuts. Yeah, they're nuts. Yeah, yeah, because I strongly believe in a controlled environment, we should bring back drug usage.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, just so we're just so we're clear, we do not condone the usage of illegal drugs and substances, right?

SPEAKER_03

Illegal drugs, illegal drugs and substances.

SPEAKER_05

We do not condone that usage, right? Of illegal drugs. What you find in the wilderness is that's on you, baby. That's on you. Yeah, listen, either you can eat it or you'll die. It's one of the two. So do your research. Don't blame me. Exactly. Do your research.

SPEAKER_11

Well, long story short, yeah, the the American Gladiators is back, and I've watched a few episodes and they're fun to watch. I mean, they they are really they're back to the core of what the OG American Gladiators were. As I'm talking about, though, there is a little magic that is missing, but you'll never be able to duplicate that because we're in a different time frame.

SPEAKER_05

Because they're a bunch of bitches. I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding. It's a joke. It's a joke. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. For the joke. Before somebody gets on here, they're like, the FMJ podcast has you guys have really gone downhill.

SPEAKER_07

That's some low brow humor you got going on over there. Somebody bring me Spider-Man. That's right. Bring me Spider-Man. We gotta chill.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so anyway. Anyway, Grizz, you got another one you want to talk about?

SPEAKER_02

Um, kind

Are You Smarter Than Fifth Grader

SPEAKER_02

of, yeah. Uh I have a show that I'm glad is I I shouldn't say I'm glad. Okay, let me rephrase this. I have a show that looking back on, I don't think I like it because it to me could be sending a message. It's probably more innocent than this, but whatever. Um are you smarter than a fifth grader?

SPEAKER_05

Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

SPEAKER_02

Because I feel like pressure on people. What message do you think they're trying to send? So, okay, so here's the message that I think is being said. Like, y'all are so fucking dumb, you're not even smarter than a fifth grader. So the idea and we're tuning in just proves a point that we are fucking idiots.

SPEAKER_05

So the idea here, I think what they were trying to trying to get across is that a lot of the stuff you learn in fifth grade, you just forget as an adult. Yeah. It it it always trivial. Right. You're you're gonna forget most of what you're what you've learned in fifth grade. It just that's just yeah, it just is what it is. Do I think they were calling us idiots? Probably in a roundabout way. I mean, it was Jeff Foxworthy that was the fucking host. You know what I mean? You know, you know, he he's part of the fucking uh blue-collar comedy tour. There's your sign. You know what I'm saying? Like, could it be have could it have been a little bit of a dig at America saying you guys are fucking stupid? Sure. And on it, and honestly, uh you're not wrong. That's not inaccurate. We are yeah, we're fucking idiots.

SPEAKER_11

We watch cars go in circles.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Left turn, left turn, not a left turn. But uh but uh no, I uh like I used to watch Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader a lot. I I honestly do. Me too. I've been a video game.

SPEAKER_06

Did you get questions wrong?

SPEAKER_05

I mean, absolutely I did. I was like, I was like, yo, why don't I know this? I was literally like why the fuck I'm a fourth grader today, man. Yeah, seriously. I'm like, nah, I'm not smarter than a fifth grader, I guess.

SPEAKER_11

The oldest fourth grader in this classroom.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I it felt like it felt like Billy Madison. Like, that's right. Back to school, back to school. No, but it's like, no, I I I I I get where you're coming from, Chris. So yeah. So you were so you weren't like super fond of it or like honestly, my memory of it.

SPEAKER_02

Here's the funny part. I was just trying to find a show that I didn't like because I didn't I couldn't find a show I didn't really like. Yeah, um, I found a show that I analyzed. Um I gotcha. But I my memory of it was good. Like I enjoyed play because I like trivia, so I enjoy trying to test myself and challenge myself. Um, I was just being hypercritical of it and analyzing, like, what is this message actually sending? What are they trying to tell me? Yeah, what are they trying to say 100% right on what you thought the message was trying to do?

SPEAKER_05

No, like I said, Jeff delivered Jeff Foxworthy as the host. Yeah, it was probably a slight dig at the intelligence of of America.

SPEAKER_11

Like you know, average adults on before they fucking aired this shit and fucking produced it, they were like, yo, Merrick, I bet you the Americans tune in because they're gonna see if they're they're gonna want to know if they're smarter than an actual fifth grader. Oh, yeah, and they're gonna feel so stupid to start getting these questions wrong. And that's what's gonna bring them back to watching. Because after you get like, like, let's say you watched one episode and you're like, fuck, I'm dumb. You're gonna think like, nah, that was a fluke. I just didn't know that. So what's gonna happen is you're gonna watch it again to see if it's real or if you really are dumb.

SPEAKER_05

The average American kept people around. The average American is absolutely gonna say, Yeah, I'm smarter than a fifth grader, and then just totally get just ate up by a fifth grader and be like, Why am I stupid?

SPEAKER_11

That didn't really just happen. Let me let me super fed it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think some people it will do that, right? Or it would have, or it couldn't. It definitely, it definitely did. We all have egos, so like it's a good way to challenge people to be better. Yep. So maybe that's the angle. It's not necessarily like a punching down as much as a uh punching up, right?

SPEAKER_05

It could have been, maybe. Yeah, there's no there's no telling what the thought was. There's no way to know. Yeah, there's no t telling what the thought was from the producers, but I mean, I mean, when you start analyzing it, breaking it down like that, maybe I don't know. Most trivia makes me feel stupid anyway, because I'm like, damn, I don't there's just questions that people just like firing off, right? I'm like, what why are there so many people that know this information? I do not, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I mean? It does push me to want to like learn more though, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Because it almost feels like common knowledge, but it's really not, it's not common knowledge.

SPEAKER_11

So I'm just not I wasn't a huge fan of trivia questions. I love it. I love trivia.

SPEAKER_02

Well, have you ever gone to like a specialized one? Like, okay, it's Marvel trivia or Star Wars trivia. But even then, because I just when we went to hard rock, those are fun.

SPEAKER_11

Okay, so I guess we're we're getting into fucking the psychology of Yeti here, um or the brain of Yeti. But like you just like you, you we don't have enough time, dude. I know about um no, it's just I don't know. It just I never took school serious and I was always like the class clown kind of person, and like I don't know. Like, I yes, there's certain topics that I feel very safe in talking about, but when it comes to the grand over scheme of things, like I'm probably not the smartest in the room, but damn it, when it comes to the physicality of something, give it to me all day. Like sports, give it to me all day. Maybe I wasn't great great at basketball, but football, running he's never gonna let the basketball thing go, y'all.

SPEAKER_05

Just I'm never letting the basketball thing go.

SPEAKER_11

Fuck basketball.

SPEAKER_04

They cut me back in high school. Fuck the NBA. What?

SPEAKER_11

What I love the athleticism and what stuff of that nature. Listen, it's it's uh it's all good.

SPEAKER_05

And as we have learned today, basketball's a game show. Um, moving on.

The Moment Of Truth Discomfort

SPEAKER_11

One of the shows that I wasn't a huge fan of, and I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it, was called The Moment of Truth.

SPEAKER_03

Moment of Truth.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah. So it only aired for a little bit. Um it's where they they asked the contestant a series of questions, okay? Like just in a back room, they just asked them for the responses and stuff like that. Oh, I've heard it. Yeah, yeah, I've heard of it. Okay. And then when it was their turn, they they aired some of that footage of the questions that they asked. But then when it was their turn, they got brought on a stage and they were strapped to a lie detector test.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

And if they when they asked a question, if they told the truth, it would light up, say truth, and they were given a dollar amount, and it was like a pyramid. Questions you answered truthfully, the higher you went. With that being said, as you progressed up, the questions became more risky. There were questions like, Have you ever cheated on your spouse?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, there were a lot of relationships broken up.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, and you were in front of a studio audience and your family members, aka including your spouse.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

So now, was some of it scripted? Possibly, it could have been, but when you're watching it, it does kind of make you feel some type of way. Because like one of the questions was, do you really care about starving people in America? Or star I'm sorry, starving kids in America. And it's like if you say yes and you were lying, you look like a complete fucking jerk. Yeah. And oh you see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02

And then not only that's not fair though, because people are like they get nervous.

SPEAKER_11

Which is why it's inadmissible in court, but you know, right, which we've all learned that like that's not really like a way to judge a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02

But in that moment, though, like being on that show in front of people's nerves and excitement, yeah. Because it's less about their line, and like every and people might not even be nervous, like, oh, I'm scared. It's just like your your nervous system is wound tight because you're doing something that's like risky or potentially embarrassing. You're put you're vulnerable.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of it just because it was risky. And like when I was younger, I was i was like, I was like, ooh, I wouldn't answer that. I would not answer that. I would definitely lose right there.

SPEAKER_05

He said, ah, insert foot into mouth.

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_11

Bite my tongue mouth. A lot of but but looking back at it now, a lot of people said it was cringe worthy. And are kind of like in this thing about Diamond that it was just it was just really, really risky. And they used the risk factor of their questions to try to host that game, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, that that that's what I mean, that's what they're the vulnerability. That's what they were hoping for. I think that was the premise of it was to, you know, see who we can get, who you know, what kind of questions we can kind of information we can get out of people. Again, is some of it scripted? Probably. I'm I'm sure some of it was to whereas I'm sure.

SPEAKER_11

If I had to throw something out there, I'm sure 80% scripted. I mean, there's no different being a fucking talk show host. I mean, look at that. I was about to say, I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_07

Morey's taught me that there's a lot of people out there that are like, that's my man of dudding. And they're like, ah, you are not the father. It's like, oh shit, we don't pay this bitch airfare again. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_11

I mean, and then you look at like if you ever watched like uh Judge Judy and you and you slow down that fast print that goes at the end of the show, it even says in that fine print that from my understanding both parties were were paid five thousand dollars to be on the show.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

And then if if let's say the m the you can only sue for the max of like five thousand, if Planet A won, they would reduce the five thousand to planet B who won. So like you would still leave with something, just not all of it, because the other person won. The won the court, one won the court case.

SPEAKER_05

I worked with somebody that actually went on a show like that. No shit. Yeah, it was um it was it was it was two people that I had worked with. One was in the off this was years ago. This was I think we were contracting for Duke at the time, but he had bought rims for his car from this dude, and I forget what had happened, but like, dude, like something happened with that deal and it went sour. And I think I don't think it was Judge Judy, it was one of the it was one of it was one of those other like Judge Joe Mathis or something like that. Okay, okay and and literally was it?

SPEAKER_11

Huh?

SPEAKER_05

Like there was like Judge Joe Brown or something like that. Something like that. I don't I don't remember which one they went to, but they both went there and I was like, no shit. I was like, so like was it legit? He's like, yeah, it was legitimately like a court case. Yeah. But but you know, for like theatrics and shit like that, they get all you know wound up and shit and whatever. But I was like, so did you win money? He's like, well, yeah. I mean, I it was it was a court case. There was a hearing, there was a settling, all that kind of stuff. He's like, I got I got what I what I needed out of it. I was like, why'd you why'd you go that route though? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07

Like you could have just so many other options.

SPEAKER_05

That's funny. I don't know. I know I never got the answer to that question, but I did work with with some people that that went on something like that, which was really interesting. But um there's a few that I want to bring up uh before we wrap this up.

The Wall And Contract Gambles

SPEAKER_05

Uh one of my favorite currents right now is The Wall. Has anybody watched The Wall? Uh LeBron James actually produced that one. Really? Yeah. And it's a uh it's a game show where uh contested there's two contestants, right? And one goes into an isolated room and the other stays out front. Now, when they start off, they'll a they'll ask, I think it's five trivia questions, and obviously the more you get right, the more money you you you rack up or whatever. And then what that's when they'll separate you, the one person stays out on the stage, the other person goes to the isolated area. And what they'll do is they'll ask the person in the isolated area trivia questions. And whether they get it right or wrong, the ball will change colors, right? So if you get the question right, it'll turn green, and then they'll drop it down as like a giant game of Planko, right? If everybody remembers Planko, and they have certain slots that have dollar amounts. If the ball is green, whatever dollar amount it lands lands into, you get that. If they get it wrong, the ball's red, and you lose whatever dollar amount that falls into. They have two, it's kind of like broken down into halves. So, like, obviously, you want to answer more questions correctly. I enjoy, I I love the game show mostly because I call it balls to the wall. And I'm like, that's what they should have named it. Because it's literally, yeah. They just you know what I'm saying? Like it was written. It was like they put the ball in a chute and then it winds up on the wall. And I was like, why do they not call this balls to the wall?

SPEAKER_02

I bet you that's why they call it the wall.

SPEAKER_11

Listen balls to the wall.

SPEAKER_02

I bet you somebody in the TV syndicate was like, you can't call it balls to the wall.

SPEAKER_05

And I would have fought tooth and nail. Yeah, I would say. I would have fought tooth and nail. Why can't we call it balls to the wall? Well, everybody knows what that. Not everybody knows what that means.

SPEAKER_02

What if we call it ball to the wall?

SPEAKER_05

Ball to the wall. I'd be okay with ball to the wall, even though there's multiple balls, because there's like seven balls. So I'm like, balls to the wall. So I don't understand. It's there. Yeah. But no, it's a it's a really it's a really fun, uh, it's a really fun game show. So like again, it's broken down like two halves, because in the first half, like I think the highest you can get is like 500,000. Um, and then the second half you get the million, whatever. Now, the way that it works, at the end of it all, the person in the isolated room has a choice, okay, because they'll they'll add up, I think they'll total up how many questions you got right, and then however much you have like your base money that you made in the beginning off those five trivia questions, and they they add up how much um how many questions you get right, and they kind of like average that out. And sometimes you will leave with a guaranteed amount of money. And the person in the back room has a choice. Either they sign a contract to agree to the money that was you know locked in from basically the beginning of the game, right? Or do you tear the contract up and whatever questions you got right because the balls are dropping and you know, you could you hit the million, you can wind up with like two million dollars by the end of the game. And if you don't sign the contract, that's what you walk away with, is two million dollars. If you sign the contract though, and you and you're locked in at like a hundred thousand, hundred twenty thousand, that's what you leave with. Now, at the end of the game is when they obviously make that choice and they'll bring that person out onto the stage and they'll be like, you know, that's when they disclose whether they sign the contract or they tore it up. And it's really cool watching some of like, like, yeah, because you're like you could have high ass dollar. No, there's been several there's been times I shit you not, I shit you not. There's been times where they have like 1.5 million up on the screen and they sign the contract for like $92,000. And I'm like, I'm sorry. Like it's hard to be mad, right? Because you know what you're getting into, but I could be mad for a little bit.

SPEAKER_11

Say what the same person signed the contract, or is it a different person?

SPEAKER_05

It's the same person, the same person in the isolated room. signs the contract and they're the ones getting asked the trivia questions. So are you confident enough in yourself that you answered enough trivia questions right? Okay. In in in order to tear up that that that contract to get more money. So when do you when do you sign the contract? At the end of it. When you when everything's all said and done right you set you that they send it they send it in a little shoot. You don't know what you don't know what's on the screen. You don't know the person in the isolated room does not know how much they got they just have to be confident in the idea that they answered enough trivia questions right. They don't tell them if they got it right or wrong. They tell the person on the stage if they got it right or wrong but the person in the isolated room has no fucking idea. No idea. No idea.

SPEAKER_02

So as long as you're confident in your answer.

SPEAKER_05

You don't sign the contract but you don't know you wouldn't even know until you got answered the question.

SPEAKER_11

You don't know until you get out there and you're like I tore up the contract and how many how many times have you answered questions and you're like you felt confident that the question was you answered it right. But then when the smoke settles you're like damn I missed two plus two.

SPEAKER_05

Buddy there's there's been times there's been times where they were guaranteed I mean obviously guaranteed I think typically is around a little under 2000 sometimes a little more but there's been times where dude they're doing great you know what I mean and then that one red ball hits that million and just cleans them out and they're like you know what I was so confident I tore that contract up.

SPEAKER_07

And they're like you know baby I love you and everything but we leave him with jack shit because you tore the contract up we got a big old fat zero up on that screen that's tough.

Cash Cab Reboot With Rideshares

SPEAKER_05

That would suck yeah that would suck that would suck it would suck but it's like I think I think that's what makes the game show kind of fun for me because I'm like you just you don't know you don't know until you get out there um the one one of them that one that I thought was kind of one that I think is kind of weak weak sauce although I watch it a lot America says only because some of the shit that they that they the answers that they come up with I'm like I don't know who the fuck you're asking these questions to because it just it doesn't that's kind of like family feud because sometimes you hear some of those answers no like yeah like for sure for sure like yeah for sure you're just kind of like where where'd you come up with that but I I find it more often on America says than family feud like America says will come up with some wild shit and I'm like who are they asking these goddamn questions to I need to meet these people because what do you mean did you even understand the assignment and I don't I don't think they do um right but the one that I wish would return cash cab cash cab was fine yeah that one was fine one of my favorites because it's like what an era that was in New York wasn't it yes it was yes it was that was in New York well yeah you were wrong so we're here you get three strikes eight more blocks keep walking yeah you got you got three strikes and it's like it's sometimes you make it there and you get you get some you get some money and they're like all right you can leave with what you want or double or nothing right on the video challenge and they're like ah you know what fuck it let's go double or nothing then they just lose all the money they want and I'm like damn that sucks but at least you got a free cab right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but I wish it would with Uber yeah I wish it would honestly because that was modern take on it I would love that you you order a thing and yeah yeah I would love that to to have a still be cash cab it's just they partner with Uber and Lyft yeah yes so that they can get sent to people randomly I would I'd be I'd be okay with that I would I'd watch that every day and if you decide that you could really record in any state yep you could have and you the person's in month and then I think that would get more people this way you could do each season is a different city different city yeah you could you could could do it could do the New York and then like Miami and then like LA and then Chicago and then no I'd be I'd be cool with that it would be an interesting take on it.

SPEAKER_02

Why Silent Reading Moves Your Mouth

SPEAKER_02

know more. How does this work?

SPEAKER_05

I must know more so this article from Science Focus is proven to reveal one of our brain's cleverest tricks luckily we can now all read silently that wasn't always the case people weren't always able to read silently writing began as a way to encode speech but not thought in the early days written text was performed for an audience rather than consumed silently and alone religious scripture royal proclamations the sagas of legendary heroes these were written down to keep them accurate but then read out aloud to a crowd most people couldn't read at all and written documents were expensive and slow to produce so reading in private didn't make sense. Early writing also copied the way we talk without gaps between words or any of the other layout cues that we're used to right now such as paragraphs capital letters and punctuation. Complex speech probably evolved at least two hundred thousand years before writing the earliest writing we know of is cuneiform from about five thousand years ago in Mesopotamia So it's natural that our brain would reuse a lot of the same uh machinery to handle the newer form of language. In the 1970s psychologists Drs Alan Batley and Graham Hitch proposed a model of our short-term memory whereby speech is buffered for a couple of seconds in something called the phonological loop when you're listening listen the phonological loop holds the listening the ph the phonological loop holds the listening long enough that the sounds long enough for you to decode them into words and then convert them into media. So it holds your brain holds it for a little bit and then it converts it. And this happens when you read too studies have shown that the muscles of your mouth tongue and Larynx are still activated even when you read silently, a process called sub-vocalization. This implies that we're essentially still sounding out the words in your head in order to decode them. The real value of silent reading didn't emerge until the advent of mass literacy and the printing press in the early renaissance, but the skill is older than that. In 428 BCE, the playwright Euripides had Theseus silently read a letter held by his dead wife, and Roman leader Julius Caesar is reported to have silently read a love letter during a debate in the Senate. So there you have it. Your brain beactivating all of your mouth muscles, even when you're reading silently.

SPEAKER_02

Dude, the brain is the craziest organ we have.

SPEAKER_11

Isn't it though? It is like You said too many big words, so I have no idea what you're saying.
