Hey, welcome to guys, the podcast about guys. I am Brian here with my co-host, celebrity Jeopardy fan, Chris James. What's up? That's my game show guy voice Yeah, you can tell it's good. You have to when you have to say what it is at the end. I Yeah, I I think I guess I've I remember celebrity Jeopardy from the Saturday at live like you know, know, you like the other one. That's not the one I'm insulting you with. I'm insulting you with the real one. OK, because I've never seen the real one ever.

I mean, maybe love clips of it or something, but I've never seen it. But I did. I did love the Celebrity Jeopardy, you know, Turd Ferguson or funny name. It's a funny name. And we have here my co-host on pod cast and block party john Colin. What's up, john? What up? What up? I have seen I've sure Yeah, I've seen probably more episodes of celebrity Jeopardy than someone should. So do you like SNL and real? No, I hate the real

version. I actually like, I barely want I don't actually watch the real version that much anymore. When I was a kid, I used to watch it. There was something like I think it's almost like what it's almost like liking the All Star game. It's kind of like that too, where you're like, oh my gosh, survivor host, Jeff Probst is on Celebrity Jeopardy. I gotta see how he does. Yeah. Yeah. You're sort of so curious. Like, how would Jeff Probst do in this type of thing? You know? Yeah, we're all curious.

But you are right. It's kind of like a real lame version of it that a kid would like. Well. But you would sort of understand how hockey works or how a game show works, you want to see the real deal. Yes, exactly. And they've they've really manipulated celebrity Jeopardy now. So it's a it's not even like a regular game anymore. They play three full rounds of Jeopardy. So they have

single double and triple Jeopardy. So they have single, double and triple Jeopardy. And they do multiple interviews with the celebrities because I guess they think that that's like what people want. And the show's an hour. It's like you got to watch an hour of these people who are bad at Jeopardy play Jeopardy. How long is it normally? Half an hour. Really? God, that's weird. In my head, I always thought it was an hour long program. Yeah, well that is, yeah, that just pisses me off.

Then you gotta keep it, you know, you have to keep it like, the integrity of the game has to be there still. Yes. Well, I went on the game show Reddit, our game show. And this is the first thing, one of the first things I saw when I started searching through. Who else avoids celebrity versions of game shows because celebrity culture is pretentious

and snobby? Oh, that's not the reason. I mean, I mean, yeah, I guess that that doesn't really come into play, though. Like when we were discussing it, we weren't talking about like just hating celebrities, you know, like nowadays you can be a celebrity for nothing. Like that kind of attitude. I just kind of think it's a worst version of the game. Right. He does finish the thought by going, I feel like it's all an excuse to stroke their egos and have a look at how wealthy

and stuck up I am moment to make more money. But they don't make the money. They don't make the money. Yeah, that's kind of like very well documented. That's like I don't make the money. They don't make the money. Yeah, that's kind of like the whole very well documented that. Yeah, that's like I don't watch, but I know that the money goes to charity. That's like the main thing people know about celebrity game shows. Do you think that they think the celebrities think if they go on jeopardy, then they'll get more exposure and then money will come later.

then they'll get more exposure and then money will come later. It's stupid. They'll get some ad revenue. They'll maybe get some, yeah, that could be the case. Definitely. It is very good exposure for somebody like Jeff Probst, you know, if he's looking to get some more hosting gig. Well, he ended up hosting Rock and Roll Jeopardy. I loved Rock and Roll Jeopardy.

After he was pretty good at Celebrity Jeopardy. So there you go. I mean, that would have never happened had he not had and that's a huge revenue stream for him obviously. And yeah, so that's I think there's some validity to that. Wally Jade Wheel of Fortune alumni says I generally avoid them because the celebs are told to hammer it up to the point where the rules stop mattering and it's no longer the game show that I enjoy.

So that that's John posting there. Under my pseudonym Wally Jade. And that guy, that's a former wheel of fortune. Yeah, there's so many people on the game show Reddit that have been on shows. Well, yeah, that makes sense. These shows have been running for so long and they have had so many Contestants and it would make sense that those the people trying to be contestants would be huge fans of it And they would be the ones on the forum. So yeah that that makes sense. I want to be on a show now I'm like going through this and I'm like goddamn man. It seems like I could probably get on a show, too I don't know what the jeopardy is not gonna work for me because They did like a special, like swingers,

Jeff, anything that I like, Oh, or, or, Oh, I know what a fun one you could be on. You could be on like, uh, what's that? Um, what's the game where they, where they have to, where you have to like, you go on with a couple and you have to get in. The newlywed game? The newlywed game, but it's like a different version of it, where Brian goes on with his... You bring on your couple that you swing with or whatever, and then you guys answer questions.

That's kind of a cool variation on it that we should consider. Honestly, that's the guy's game. You bring the swinger couple, make them answer each other's questions. Yeah, you do the newlywed games, but you're answering with your, you know, your hot wife. Yeah. And only a hot well, you know, the bull that fucks your wife. Yeah.

You know what a hot wife is, John? Yes, I do know what a hot wife is. Oh, congratulations. John's one of the horniest guys in the world. Fabri on the original poster says, yeah, because they're so special and above authority. A lot of celebrity hate, a lot of just like run of the mill celebrity hate going on here

that you sort of see from regular people all the time. Well, Wally does come back in and solve do a little bit of this The shows themselves tell the celeb to act that way. It's Jeopardy and wheels fault Not just the celeb so he's helping Wally is trying to help but then the OP Replies and he goes who says that the celebrities have to listen. They have the ability to act like commoners know have to listen. They have the ability to act like commoners. So well, I will talk down this guy. I will say that on Celebrity Jeopardy as someone who has watched it quite a bit and watches every single episode of regular Jeopardy.

The problem, one of the yeah. Oh yeah. One of the problems with Celebrity Jeopardy is that most of the time, one of the celebrities will play the show properly, and then they will utterly destroy the other two. But you can tell, like, Celebrity Jeopardy does not get competitive until the finals, because they have, like, you know, like Ike Barinholtz, friend of our shows, you know, he's a great example. He won Celebrity Jeopardy. He's very clearly been watching Jeopardy his whole life. When he was on the show, he was taking it very seriously

and was just pounding his opponents into dust. So that's also part of it with Celebrity Jeopardy, is that not only is some of the hamminess kind of happening, but there is always one person taking it seriously. And then it makes the game not very entertaining to watch because you know who's going to win already and then it takes that like competitive side of it is out and there's not even anything really to play for. Yeah, that that's that's kind of bullshit. And in my opinion, they should all be playing it. Ike does it right. They should all be playing it seriously. It's

fucking it's a game show You you know, you don't need to be hamming it up and trying to get your you know You don't you don't want to be trying He's not looking like like some people like Jeff probes might be on there looking to like ham it up and get some extra Gigs out of it, but I think it's you got to be trying to win it like with a sex game Yeah, well Wally replies again Thank God for Wally Jade. He goes, listen, you look like this is quotes quote,

listen, you look like a dead fish out there. If you're not feeling up to making the show, we can replace you with Patton Oswald. He's right over there waiting. Took some strays, Patton took some strays. Very good at celebrity Jeopardy. He was against Ike. Okay. I see. Okay. so he's like a well-known

good player. Yes, I was like they just said Pat. It felt like they were saying he hangs around the Jeopardy set in case somebody can't play. Yeah, and that seems I mean, he does he is quite a successful career. Yes, he is a nice guy to the shows what the celebs to act that way. And the celebs sign up knowing it's expected The celebs also know that being in the public eye like this is a gift and they're going to exploit it all that they can So pigeon smasher jumps in And he says I don't like celeb culture at all but on some shows like pyramid for example, it's fine celebrity jeopardy is unwatchable but to be fair I don't recall any celebrity ever drawing attention to their wealth on a game show so now he's going after the OP

saying this yeah I mean right I think that the OP is just like no I just know that they're wealthy so I like feeling that you know he an answer. He says it's their mere existence that draws attention to their well. Yeah, see, that's that's what it is. They're not doing anything. He just knows that they're wealthy. And that makes him angry. Which Hey, listen, I mean, whatever, I get that a little bit. There's these super uber wealthy people. Well, you might be struggling, you know, that's kind of annoying.

Definitely. Yeah, Pigeon Smasher does come back. This is my favorite one of this thread. This thread is one of my favorite threads I've ever read. He goes, well, I'm sure you know, that seems like an emotional rather than a rational reaction. I live in New York City, so these are probably also biased, but I knew Jonah Hill as an acquaintance once 2015 to 2016. He didn't news for whose pretentiousness or anything of the sort.

His mere existence certainly didn't mean anything. I also met Demi Moore and her kid once when she dropped by to talk to my then CEO. Oh, shit, man. So this guy's just fucking telling stories of like celebrities and how they were. Also, like a few interactions with them. Like, do you really think that you're getting a good essence of the kind of the way that people are? I mean, oh, from 2015 to 2016,

was it over 10 times he talked to Jonah Hill or under 10 times he talked to Jonah under under no. Well, even said acquaintance when you're using the word acquaintance. Yeah, because you're trying to you're telling the story, you know, he could just say I was friends with him or whatever. Yeah. Hung around in the same circle as him. Yeah. Then I believe he knew somebody who knew him. Yeah, that was what it was. Yeah.

He might even got to go to a party that Jonah was that but he didn't actually talk to him, you know Yes Yeah I'm also kind of an unfair example because I think a lot of us sort of know that Jonah Hill is kind of one of the cool celebs, you know I think I think he's become kind of now there's like he's a look a bit too weird. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, like he's like kind of out there with his like he might he's like seems like a crystal guy kind of her So girls stuff to the girlfriend stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right. But but yeah, he's not like a

prototype of a celebrity kind of he clearly like Tries to go against the grain on that like he's like, you know He doesn't want to be that kind of stuck up celebrity guy. Well, this guy says I chatted with her for 10 to 15 minutes and didn't even know who she was beyond a stressed out mom until someone told me later, her mere existence did not draw attention to anything much less wealth. She was wearing sweatpants for fuck's sake. What I'm trying to say is, Oh my God. Celebs wear sweatpants too. Always do like that's like such a, you know what I mean? If they're not going to some event or something like that, they always try to dress down and shit like

that. Right? Like that. It helps them not be recognized. Yeah, exactly. You expected them to be wearing like one of the dresses they wear to the Oscars or something. Yeah, or maybe a T-shirt for one of their films or something like that, just to let you know. Yeah, or just the costume that they wore in the film so that you know who it is.

Yeah, that's very cool. Some of the coolest stories are like, hey, I met this celebrity and they were so down to earth and I couldn't even tell that they were a celebrity. Tell someone told me afterwards. Well, we are at war here with the OP and Pigeon Smasher now where he says what I'm trying to say is celebrities are just people. They deserve to exist. They don't deserve our worship, but that's about the worshipers, not them. And then the OP says people they deserve to exist they don't deserve our worship but that's about the worshipers not them and then the OP says if they deserve to be treated like commoners then why do we have a worship culture in the first place yeah this it seems like you're just like I don't know that we're ever

gonna get to agreement in this argument I think you're just you guys fundamentally see this It is a 28-post argument with the same Like that guy's mad. So one of the things When we did cable news guys, right? We we looked at somebody say what would you do if you had? Control of MSNBC, right? Yeah. And it was some of the worst ideas. Yeah, they did not have they it's they weren't the best ideas for television. It was stuff like have teachers come on TV and talk.

Yeah. Teachers should come on TV. I think that's actually a good idea. Well, I think the teacher should be given way more of a voice in this. I think they should be given less. I think we should mute their given way more of a voice in this talk. I think they should be given less. I think we should mute their microphone for half of the episode. We hate teachers over here. They make too much money. So much money they get all these there.

Oh, you want to get off during summertime? I got a good job for you if you don't want to work very much. Teachers almost as bad as single guys. Love to hear from you guys who weren't very good in school. Oh, excuse me, John. I did well in school. I know you're a very smart guy, but I feel like you probably at some point gave up on school. No, you were a big school guy.

Oh, no. Oh, I did not take it that seriously. No, I took the fewest amount of classes I was allowed to in grade 12 and still graduate. I went in and talked to my counselor and she was just devastated when I said, how many classes can I drop and still graduate? Okay, that's all I'm saying. But I still did well. No debate that both of you are not smart. It's just like- And Brian, I think, did well in school.

Like Brian was still- Oh, no, no. No, I did not. I had like a.03 grade point average. Oh, that's very poor. Yeah, I was really bad I was never there and if I had one class where they were like the English teacher was like listen If you come to the exam and you answer one question, right? You'll pass this class And then I skipped it to go buy a bong I failed the class and had to take it the next year.

Well, we had a thing, I put the thumb thing away. We had a thing called career and personal planning. Cap. Cap, John knows. Yeah, John's Canadian, so he knows. And from BC. Yeah, it's strictly a BC thing.

Career and personal planning and it was like homeroom, you know, but then of course as I mentioned, I got rid of a lot of my classes, so we had it set up where I didn't have to come in in the morning for half the year and then I got to leave early at the end of the day because I had like two spare blocks, but it also meant that the homeroom, if I wanted to come, I would have to just come in for homeroom. So I was like, fuck this. And I never came in. And then yeah, halfway through the year, they're like, you can't graduate now, because you haven't come to career and personal planning. So they had to come up with some special thing, a nice

thing for me to do so that I could even graduate from from the teachers did that for you. And now you're here on your podcast going. Yeah, the teachers did that for me to do so that I could even graduate from high school. So the teachers did that for you and now you're here on your podcast going wow. Yeah the teachers did that for me and the administration and because they knew that they're like oh you know you can do pretty well in school you just you're not showing up so I think you might actually want to do school stuff so let's you probably want to graduate and I needed to graduate. Well here I didn't graduate I didn't get to walk with my high school I had to graduate. It was not like, yeah. I didn't graduate. I didn't get to walk with my high school. I had to go to summer school. But so I sat in the stands during the like ceremony with my girlfriend who was in school with, you know.

So here's an idea. I think you guys will like. You had graduated, but your girlfriend was in school still? Yeah. Yeah. He's one year younger than me. Oh, is that true? She is born December 13th, 1979.

I was born like January. So we're like less than a year. She was in the grade before me. Wheel of Fortune protested. Yes. Wheel of Fortune from Occam's Dragon says controversial idea. You guys are never going to guess this idea in a million years ever get rid of the bankrupts oh it's always so painful when the consent contestants hit bankrupts and lose all their money in addition the other context testants don't get to play much if the players keep guessing the

right letters my hot take get rid of the players keep guessing the right letters. My hot take? Get rid of the two bankrupt spaces and add four loser turns. He just doesn't like that if everybody losing all their money. It makes him sad. It makes him feel sad for them. It's just part of the game. It's part of like now. Now listen, I've never been a big wheel of fortune. I want to spin that wheel more than anything in the world. So I don't really know the like mechanics of the game or anything. So I can't really comment on it from that point of view, but I don't know. I feels like it's been working. You need a negative thing. Yes, you need tension. If you got rid of

the bankrupts, there's no, I mean, I guess if you got rid of the bankrupts and add lose the turns. So the difference basically, Chris, and for people who are listening, you don't watch Wheel of Fortune, lose a turn is just like, as it says, you lose your turn, but you keep your money. So then the person you lose your turn and your money and your money, but you don't lose the money you've banked from the previous round. You only lose the money from the current round that you're in. But sometimes people spin bankrupt and they're losing like $400. Yeah, and and it just

how long is this show been going for? Oh, more than 40 years, I think. Like, is there any kind of like are people kind of saying we need to mix it up? Or? Well, they do mix it up every once in a while. Again, my Ryan Seacrest is about to be the host, he's going to be replacing Pat Sajak. And they're very excited about that, by the way, they think he's a great host. Now they might get rid of

the Vanna job, which I was reading so the person is not gonna like that Brian are you saying Seacrest in? Yes So hey eat that reddit you think I don't got good jokes. Well, there's one for you So anyway unpopular opinion. I do not want Ken Jennings as the next host. This is from the Jeopardy board and he goes, don't get me wrong. His hosting skills are excellent, which was a very Tony K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. From Vancouver. He would be the best host hands down, but let me tell you why I'm against it. He enunciates clearly responds quickly

and keeps things moving at the right pace. The only thing I really have against him is the pitch of his voice. For some reason, it's really grating to me. I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so it might just be me, but I'd really rather one of the other front runners host. So you dude. Well, now punk 18 replies and says says yeah, he has a squeaky nerd voice. My voice sucks too. That's why Ken and I should not be Jeopardy hosts. He does have a squeaky nerd voice. He does have a squeaky

nerd voice. I will say that like he does have a classic nerd voice, but that's kind of what you would expect from a guy who can answer every single Jeopardy question. The host Jeopardy, yeah the host. Yeah, you kind of want to be a little bit nerdy. I think, I don't know. We hate to do this, we really do. Chris hates it when I take things off track, but I'm gonna show you something.

Tom broke his penis in Jamaica. So this Sunday. Tom broke his penis in Jamaica. Oh my God. What is it? What is the sorry? Is that the title of the title of the video? Tom broke his penis in Jamaica.

John, this is a guy who I know successfully had sex for four hours, though, and his penis was fine. So I'm just like, what? What could he have possibly done to break this thing? This thing has been through the ringer. This penis like yours or my penis, John, that's just a normal penis thing. This this penis is seen a lot of shit. Literally, it's probably seen a lot of shit.

I mean, this guy is doing anal. No doubt. I want to do this though. I'm gonna play Ken Jennings voice. I think I need to hear it now. It's not that bad. I don't it's pretty nerdy. It's pretty nerdy. Ken Jennings responds to Emma Stone wanting to be on Jeopardy. Here we go. Now with the Jeopardy goat. yes, the greatest of all time.

Who is once again behind the podium for the all new season of Celebrity Jeopardy. And here to tell us more ahead of tomorrow night's championship finale is Ken Jennings. Ken, good to see you. As always, thanks for making time for us. Happy to be back. That is not squeaky at all.

It's not squeaky, no. No. It's nerdy. Yes, squeaky, no. Yeah, maybe not squeaky. yeah maybe not squeaky it is nerdy it is nerdy and I will say this though he's like he's like old now he does look old now you know what I mean like not in a bad way he's just like old so I feel like his voice has even changed a little bit you know like I feel like he's like I don't even his 50s yet and also he's like he's like he's become more professional do you know what I mean he's the host he's in his 50s yet. I think he's like, cool. He's become more professional.

Do you know what I mean? He's the host. He's gone through some training and stuff like that. So I feel like his voice is a little bit better than what it was when I knew him. Yeah, he's gotten better even just at hosting in general. Because what was happening was when Alex was first going in towards the end of his life

and couldn't host as much anymore. They had Ken do like a six week run on the show before they did like all that whole run of guest hosts. Like Ken just got to do it for six or eight weeks or whatever it was. And I remember like really thinking he was, he should be the guy to be the next host of the show. And then I was kind of like, uh, he was okay. I didn't think he was amazing. I thought he was like, kind of just okay. And then when the whole Mike Richards controversy came and they brought Ken back, well, I mean, that was, but I mean, I thought it's like,

but the audience was heckling him. Well, Michael Richards, he doesn't barely even say those words. You know what I mean? He was saying it because he was on stage. So but John, I know you're a big Bialik head, right? You've been pulling hard for Bialik. I know. I hate my and it's funny because you're doing it because of her like pro-israel thing

Yeah, and I I just also hate her as a fucking host I know she was she was like hated before obviously any of the Zionism stuff You know came more to light and everything. Yeah, that she was considered to be a bad host, right? Like people hate it that she was considered to be a bad host, right? Like people hate her. The Jeopardy head host, I couldn't understand why they thought she was good. Actually, people on the subreddit and on the game show Reddit liked her a lot. They're like kind of mad that she got.

She got removed because of the Israel thing. I think part of that is, you know, people having bad politics, but I did see a lot of people saying like, I guess there's no freedom of speech anymore. And like like they want her back. Yeah. Um, here's a weird answer for this question about Ken Jennings. I found this extremely strange. I just think it's too awkward for the goat player to be the host.

He can't communicate authentic celebration of the winners because he's so much better than them. The sub-stack, the subtext, sub-stacks than them. The subtext of our returning champion has won 15 games will still be an I won 74. Yeah, that is an interesting kind of that he can have the reverence that is necessary for the contestants because he is just so much better than them. I don't I don't know. I don't know that like I don't know that that's so important. Well, I'll

say this. This is me being like a real jeopardy head here. But you can tell when I actually think it's cool. You can tell when Ken didn't know the answer, like when he was prepping for the game, looking through the clues, because he will make a point if someone gets that answer right, he will say very good. And he's it's like a little tick he has, and he doesn't say it that often. And you can tell that he says it when someone gets a question that he didn't know. Wow. So that's kind of fun, I think. Yeah, he's he's, because that was always the big knock on Alex Trebek was that people thought he acted like he knew all the answers. And you would hear people complain about it.

Like 50,000 comedians were like, oh, he thinks he acts like he knows the answers, but he didn't know the answers, you know, so like, that's always been part of the show. I think well, that's what I was gonna say too is like, it's not as though Alex Drabak had a great deal of reverence for the contestants either. In most cases, he was like outright hostile to contestants. So and that's what people loved about him. Yeah, that was the best part about it for sure.

Now, I found this Quora question, but nobody answered it, which is sad. But the questions are sad. The unanswered Quora's one out, everyone at home for the all the unanswered Quora's out there. You're good. It's your final fucking like this is your last resort. You're going on Quora to try to figure out the answer to something and you just never get it answered and then you die. That's fucking sad.

What do you think about that? John, maybe we can answer out of John, Chris. OK, I'll see if I can I'll see if I can help this lonely person, although they're probably dead by now. When did they write the question? I mean, I didn't keep the date, but probably. How are Jeopardy contestants able to know so much seemingly random minutia? Do they have minds that never forget?

Do they speed read incessantly? Are they normal people in life or super performers at whatever they try? What is their personality like? Are they good at logic and reason? So. That's a lot of questions. That's a lot of questions.

That might be why you didn't get it answered, is you went a little too scatter shot with the question there. A dedicated Quora answerer logged in and then was like, OK, what makes Jeopardy! contestants so good? They start to type, then they're like, oh, and then... Oh, yeah. No, I've got a meeting this afternoon. I'm not going to be able to do this. I think that, listen, I don't think that it's,

I think John, it's safe to say that there's gonna, you're gonna come from all walks of life. There's gonna be different types of people that are gonna be good at it. But I mean, you're probably gonna, if you're gonna be really good at it, you do have to have a mind that's a steel trap, definitely. And you have to be a mind that's a steel trap, definitely. And you have to be

a nerd as well. And you have to be able to speed read, definitely, probably. Because you have to be able to gather all that information. And it's safe to say that probably like, maybe autistic people on some level might be better at the game? Like certain type of autistic people might be better at the game. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, definitely Jeopardy does play host to a wide array of autists on their program. But I would say the big thing is, well, a couple of the big things are obviously repetition. Jeopardy repeats a lot of questions, not specific phrasing of questions, but specific answers. And you also see a lot of categories appear commonly on Jeopardy. So people who are like specifically wanting to be good at

Jeopardy will study like theidents, opera, classical music. So people will study, people will say like, I want to be good at Jeopardy and I want to be a champion and I'm going to go out and try to study to become a Jeopardy champion. So what a very common thing that people do to study for Jeopardy, and this is sort of a bit of a derisive term in the trivia community, but like they call them flashcard people. And so what a lot of people do to study for Jeopardy, so there's a website called the J Archive,

and it has every question that's ever been asked on Jeopardy ever on it. And so how a lot of people study for Jeopardy is they will go through old Jeopardy boards and they will they will like test themselves. They'll read like every clue. And if they don't know the answer, they'll make a flash card of it. And then they will study those flash cards over and over. There's actually an app on your phone that you can use. And that's what a lot of people do is they'll make the flash cards on their phone. And then like, yeah, a lot of Jeopardy champs that are good will say like, yeah, if I'm like waiting at the doctor's office, I'll just like go through my flashcards.

I see. So like, and can you imagine if you did that for your like you did, you spent five years, and then you just never got on Jeopardy? That happens very often. Yeah. I mean, I guess you've gained all the knowledge, but a lot of it doesn't help you in life. But some of it would, I guess. Like, getting knowledge and stuff like that can be helpful, I suppose. And it probably, I don't know, I'm not like a scientist or a doctor,

but it's probably good for your mind, right? Yeah, oh yeah, I would think so. But yeah, it's like a lot of people, they say that over 100,000 people a year take the Jeopardy test and there's approximately 400 new contestants a year. So yeah, like one of the best, one of the greatest champions ever. James Holtzauer famously talked about, uh, taking the test 13 times before he even got like an audition to be on the show. So yeah, there's tons of people who are very good at trivia, would probably be very good at Jeopardy.

Explain to me what that test is. Like just as far as I'm learning stuff here about Jeopardy that I didn't know I even cared about. Well, can I pop this question in real quick? This is what we're talking about. Mucho Gusto asks, Jeopardy contestants and PED use I'm someone who's a big fan of almost every sport So to me, it's interesting that I never see this question brought up caveat Maybe I missed it

Do they screen all contestants who aren't prescribed adderall for it for some people cannabis can help hyper focus Do they test for weed? Has any contestant admitted to use a modanifinil while studying? So john, do you think some of them might be on? Oh, yeah, definitely they are. But like, yeah, I just don't think that because because these are things that are going to be prescribed for you know, further, like if they're taking Adderall, they're probably getting it prescribed. So you can't really say like, Hey, this is a thing that you

need for your life. And you can't take it if you're, if you're going to be doing this. It's funny because none of those would help you with jeopardy. I mean, marijuana definitely. And I mean, come on, you tell me you get on there, you get fucking, you take a big fucking bong rip and study. You're telling me you don't take all of that stuff. Apparent, according to Claire McNeer's book about Jeopardy, which I believe is called answers in the form of questions, there's apparently she didn't name them, but like a Jeopardy super champ, we call them, who is a big weed guy and was known to like smoke weed before the game. But yes, as far as like Adderall and stuff

goes, the way Jeopardy tapings work is they tape an entire week's worth of episodes in one day. So they tape five episodes in a day. And so if you're the returning champion on Jeopardy, you have to do five in a day. So for sure, there are people who are using, you know, caffeine, Adderall, maybe Coke, but yeah, they definitely don't test you for PEDs. And then, Chris, to answer your question quickly about getting on the show, It used to be that there was a set test date every year. Now you can take the test anytime, but you can only take it once a year. And it's 50 questions in 50 categories. And the rumor is that if you get 35 out of 50 correct, you're in the lottery to be chosen for an audition. And then and then they at the audition, they give you the test again to make sure that you didn't cheat. Oh, I was going to say that's going to be my question because I was considering cheating.

Yeah, when you were telling me that I was considering cheating to get on Jeopardy and then just bombing it getting negative. You're answering now. Has anybody ever done? Sorry, Brian. I'm so interested in Jeopardy. I'm sorry. We're just hijacking this. I don't know why I'm so excited about Jeopardy, but has there been anyone who's gone and done a goof on Jeopardy? You know, where they went on there and they answer every single question wrong on purpose. Well, Chris, high quirky kids did say purposely purposefully answering wrong questions. What would happen if someone went on Jeopardy and purposefully rang in for every clue and answered the same thing each time?

No answers. But that is an insane question that an insane person would ask. Oh, well, you mean the one I just asked. So hang on a second, though, because it does. That is this is the way my brain works all the time. I'm always thinking about like situations being destroyed or like ruined, like public situations. So they would just probably not air it, right, John?

Because it's pretty taped. I think, I honestly think if someone came on Jeopardy and tried to ring in every time and just answered like lima beans. But you know what I mean? Like I would do something funnier than that. Like I would like be so serious about it and I would be like, not not to say lime. I just mean I wouldn't answer the same thing over and over again. I would like be really considerate.

But then I would say something that was so wildly incorrect and inappropriate. My honest opinion, Chris, is I think they would air it. Yeah, it would be good. They would air it for two reasons. Number one, I think their taping schedule is so tight that to like replace you, because that's what they would have to do if they're like throwing out a game of the show. Oh yeah, they would have to bring in other two people back and bring another contestant in. So that's one thing right there. And then the other thing is Jeopardy, especially modern Jeopardy, they're pretty good at like

understanding, wanting to have like viral moments. So but that's crazy that no one's done that then. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's so funny. I feel like there's, there's, that's just so funny, though. It's like so funny. It would be the funniest thing, you know? Yeah, I know. No, no, no one's ever done that. I mean, I think the worst anyone has ever done on the show happened recently. It was like in the last year and this woman ended up with like minus six thousand, I think, or sixty five hundred something like that. Oh yeah. I mean, I would be way lower than that. Yeah, I'd move out of,'d move out of where I have to train at the buzzer,

because that's the whole thing, too, is like, so I love the training at the buzzer. So that's all I would do is train at the buzzer. I would know anything else testing at all. Well, they're all testing their knowledge. I'm just straight buzzer training for fucking 11 hours a day. Well, they did say what what John John said Ken wrote in Brainiac that he played against someone who smoked two bowls of weed the morning of their game it's also in Claire McNeer's book in the end he finished with a score

of negative 4,800 the largest deficit of any of Jennings opponents and son of Kong says I can understand a hit or two to take the edge off, but two bowls is just excessive well Well Scallywag says all depends on who you are most of us regular weed smokers wouldn't bat an eyelash It's smoking throughout the day before we finish something like that. And then Son of Kong says if it were filmed in the evening sure but you have to be at the studio by 730 we're talking a two bowl wake and bake. Maybe he could have nipped out on his car at lunch but still and then Scallywag says

I smoke a joint need about 50 milligrams to get ready for work. Everything's different. That guy is like such a zombie. That person is mostly try water. What? What? You want me to move? What? Like, you know what I mean? Like, they're probably so fucking out of it. They're like, I'm fucking fine. Like, I take like edible and smoke like 10 fucking rips before I go to work.

And I'm fine. And everyone's like, they like calls him like stoner Steve. To be like we're talking about a game show that tests not fucking working in the stock room at Kroger's. Maury Finkel does say there's just no way someone's more productive that way. I'm sorry, LMAO and then we get an answer back from Scaliwags and he says says well, it's okay to be wrong I smoked do a hundred push-ups 300 crunches and then eat 50 milligrams to go to work read my words friend Not everyone's the same some people can't keep their hands still after one cup of coffee

Others need to take psychiatric drugs that can paralyze some no reason to judge any of them or think it makes them less productive So he's kind of woke, but I mean, you're a liar. You're either a liar. He's either lying about it, or he's completely wasting his money on marijuana. If you're taking all of that first thing in the morning, and you're just able to live completely normally and do all of your stuff, then you're not getting too high. And you're wasting your money, in my opinion, for sure. For sure. Well, people remember from the jam band guys episode that we went and read reviews of shows on

Ticketmaster. And we thought, wow, Ticketmaster is in the same place to review stuff. Yeah. Well, they do road shows of these game shows, which are not it's a different host and it's kind of they go to your city and they play the prizes right in a big in like a theater and they let people play so cool that's so cool that's so cool how they thought of that like oh bring it to the people and yeah i mean i guess maybe they make a bit of money at the end of the day too But I mean, I think it's mostly about bringing it to the people so they can see their favorite shows Well, the first thing you see no thing. I feel like yes. Yes. Yes like Is right came to my that makes you know show theater that makes that yeah

I did the Palace Theatre here and I walked by and it was the longest line I've ever seen at the at the Palace Theater. And I was like, what the fuck? It looked at the people didn't look like anybody I ever see at anything ever. Yeah, the prices right. The prices right is the really popular one. I feel like Oh, I mean, the price would Yeah, I used to watch Oh, it's, I think it's popular. Yeah, I used to watch it when I was a kid, when I would like stay over in school or whatever, I'd watch it every fucking time I could.

And I think when I was in LA, we were gonna go to it as well, but it was like we had signed up for the thing or whatever, but it was too much of a hassle. You had to wait around all day and go through all of this fucking bullshit to go sit in the audience. But that one I can see if it came around into town,

like, oh, you sit in the crowd and watch this fucking thing that's like an institute that you've watched for so long and could win a prize where it doesn't take a lot of skill or anything like that. That one, yeah, that one seems appealing as a road show. Well, the, this says the price is wrong. And it was two stars. And that's a classic, that's sort of a classic

game show insult. Yeah, the price is wrong. One of the kind of classics. The price actually is not right, but in fact is wrong. It's two stars and our author is not worth the extra money for package deal on. So this was done

Our reviewers name is not worth the extra money for package deal on Okay, that's his name Nugget casino resort and he goes. I'm pretty sure this game show is rigged. It was fun They all think it's rigged. It was fun to interact with the quote contestants. No pictures allowed They were very strict not even a pick of the set We paid a lot of extra for the quote big wheel package We took a photo with the big wheel an XL t-shirt baseball cap laminate badge and two reusable bags Not worth the hype would not go again.

So it seems like they actually did get super served at that, but it's just not what they wanted. Yeah, it's like these, I think they it's just buyers remorse. It's like you get all excited about it. It happens all the time. I think, oh, this is going to be so fucking fun. Let's get all the special and we get the photo and all the swag and stuff. And then they get it and they're like, that was like not this stuff sucks. Like it's like a reusable bag, like some mug and shit. When are we gonna use this? And then they're like this,

why did this cost so much money? It's hard for me to wrap my head around the person who's like, I wanna go see the prices right at my local casino resort. I wanna spend triple the ticket price to take a photo with the big wheel. The big wheel photo. I need the big wheel. How will people even know if I went if I don't have the big reason why they don't let you take photos that any of the other stuff because they need you to pay the extra for the big wheel photo so that you can prove to people that you did it.

Well, we might have some actual answers on why they don't let you take pictures here in a little bit. But this review is two stars says disappointing too much hype, not enough show $70 plus per person for one hour of quote entertainment. Only four games were played. The real show has six games per hour show $70 plus to look at the back of some dude's head at least a tall tall guy in front of them. All guy that can ruin any show. You know, if you're a tall guy, real tall guy, you gotta sit at the back. Yeah. Well, this is interesting.

Stay at home. Stay at home. You're too tall. Your knees are probably just off. You don't got a car that fits you, right? Just stay home. Well, we get the back home and get on Tinder where you can have sex with every woman on there as I understand it. Well, they all want a guy I'm talking about because the guy I'm

talking about is like seven eight. That's like too tall. That's even the girls don't want them. That's true. Yeah. And he's not ripped. He's skinny. He's like a skinny seven. It looks like he's skinny. He's a single guy. He's disgusting. Yeah Seventy dollars to look at the back of some dudes had now this next part of this review might not have anything to do with the prices Right live. I'm just saying at least there was a big screen, but even that was hard to see stage needs to be higher We'll not do that again The guy in front of him, was very tall. Even blocking the screen like holy shit, that's so rude.

I can't believe it was. It was quite possibly like George Mert. It was like a basketball play. It was like a seven foot something guy. Sean Bradley just Bradley was in front. Yeah, that's listen. I mean, hey, if he can't see the show, that's going to be annoying. That's not a review. That's not a bad review, though. You know what I mean? What do you mean, Brian? They

didn't even see the show. They paid full money and they didn't even see the show. I went to see I went to see Creedence Clearwater revival at the same venue a week later and I had no problems. I had no problems at all. Prices rights fault. That's fine. That would I would be like, okay with that, right? But I'm not okay with this is a Yelp review. This is not a prices right review that the stage is too low. That's Yelp. You go to Yelp and you say the fucking stage is too low. I couldn't even see my prices. Right. Price is right. Was still the price is right. In my opinion. How do we even know? He couldn't see the damn thing. Yeah. They play in pink, Plinko or mountain climbers. I don't even know. I mean, I can kind of hear the music, but

well, Doug says not worth the money two stars and I like this one It's a little straight ahead, but there's a part of it. That's very weird to me the waiting for the registration the obtaining of the name tag and now this part is the part that I'm curious about and the Information that was needed was intrusive and the show was a waste of money. So this guy He had to give up some of his personal Want to share with the prices, right people?

I don't know what they could have been at his last name. I would actually bet though, maybe if you want to be a contestant on the show, you have to pre fill out like a tax form. I would not be surprised. Like that like some yeah, financial thing or something. Yeah. Like they probably say, look, if you just want to come watch the show, that's totally fine. You don't have to fill out this form. But like, if you want a chance to be chosen as a contestant, you got to fill out this whole thing because there might be it might be that. Yeah.

Well, Ecstatic gave it two stars. So he actually like wasn't ecstatic. And it's from the San Jose Civic Center and San Jose. He goes, was hoping for a bigger venue and to meet the actual host of the show. So that's a, that's not Drew Carey. Do you think Drew Carey was San Jose? The, yeah. Oh boy. Well, that's what the last one here says. I wasn't,

this is the lot we have wheel of fortune ones. We'll hit later, but't this is the lot we have Wheel of Fortune ones will hit later but needs improvement is the subject. This is a two star for the Bo Rivage theater in Biloxi. Biloxi. Yeah. Well, I mean, 11 them writers, but like see, I'm feeling a lot of that up. Yeah, I hear Biloxi. I gotta say Biloxi like Fred Durst. Chris doesn't know about it. He's just he likes nerd music It says needs improvement Biloxi. I wasn't impressed at all

This is my third time attending and nothing's changed. Yeah That's what a show is That's what a show is. Would love to see Drew Carey if ever I decide to attend another show, which I doubt I've wasted enough money on the show. Oh, I bet he goes again. He's been to three. Yeah, this fucking idiot can't stop coming. They know it too.

They read his review. They're like, you'll be back. Yeah. It's gotta be that he really wants to be a contestant, right? Yeah. That like, you'll be back. Yeah, like, yeah. Because it's got to be that he really wants to be a contestant, right? Yeah. That's why he's going back. That's the reason why he keeps going.

The show's the same. But if I keep going back, then maybe I'll be. It's like playing the lottery, basically. That's what he means by the show's the same. Every time he goes and they don't pick him as a contestant. They played all different games, but the show felt kind of the same. Drew Carey isn't there.

That I was sitting in the crowd the whole time. Going to three different shows and being like, I can't believe Drew Carey wasn't there this time. Yeah, because the first time you want to like, oh, Drew Carey wasn't there. For me, this is me as a concert goer or whatever. I'd go, maybe I'd make the mistake the first time. Probably not, but if I did, then I would look into it.

I would say, wait a second, Drew Carey's not there? Is this not, he doesn't tour with it? And then I'd have that information for the next time. Well, now we're gonna talk about the biggest heel, the worst, the game show guys hate more than anything and that is Steve Harvey host of Family Feud. They hate his guts and this is a question from Quora. When did the questions on Family Feud become so X rated. I watched the old. This is the answer from anonymous because I watched the old Richard Dawson episodes all the time and the questions were always

family friendly. So the person who said there were dirty Richard Dawson was kissing every woman on the fucking Take one or the other what what we do in here? Yeah, I think we all can agree The Borland days the Borland days were the best right wasn't Al Borland He was Richard Carr was famously not very good. They didn't like him. They like the Borland Borland would fucking he was it was wonderful for me. I mean, because I knew him from the other TV show and everything. They love the guy from Seinfeld. You know who I'm talking about? Yeah, I do. He played the Elaine's boss. Yeah, I'm not putting not funny. I don't know if I ever watched that

version. Louie Anderson, I thought was pretty good at it when he hosted it. Oh, I love Louie Anderson though. He's great and fun. So they've gone through quite a few of them, right? But Steve Harvey's quite, he's been there for a while now, right? He's quite happy.

Oh, 12 years, yeah. 15 years, probably 10, 15 years, yeah. So this anonymous person goes, the new show is filth. I don't watch it, not a fan. But also Steve Harvey doesn't write the fucking questions. They figured out that the money was in Steve Harvey reacting to the questions being rated exactly. And then they kept writing them

it has. It wasn't like Steve Harvey went into Family Feud and was like this shows too family friendly. You guys gotta have, you know, you guys gotta have a sex best. What's the best vegetable to plug a leak? Yeah, I mean, I have to I mean, as someone who listen, I watched Family Feud before when I was younger, and I will say that I date is a little bit too dirty. I'm not a big fan of a show that sort of delves too much into that sexuality and this kind of stuff.

It's just a little bit. It's a little bit. I don't know. Let me read you this answer, Chris. This might tell you a little something. I don't know because I didn't start watching it until this past year. I had to change the station tonight because it became so gross. I was eating an apple and the answers were so sickening. I almost lost what I swallowed. The sexually explicit and almost threw

up your apple and losing what you swallowed is, was actually the number one answer. But they, they end up with saying the sexually explicit and quote, turd oriented answers make me wonder how it could be called a family show. It's so case. Well, it's called a fam. No, it's called family feud because there are families on and answering the questions.

Just to be clear, it's not a reference to it being for families. It's turd oriented. These turd oriented questions are crazy. I mean, I do agree that I don't like this version of Family Feud. I don't think it's it's the gimmick is fine. Every now and again, you have a category where some of the answers could be a little bit racy or whatever. But like they it seems like every time I turn it on, that's all the show is now. And that isn't that interesting. I do kind of agree, but not in the way that I threw up what I was eating.

I don't think that the show is ever really interesting. No. I mean, I just think it's like, yeah, I think this is a boring show. I don't like it. Again, what they're clearly doing, yeah, is they're trying to capitalize on the viral type stuff. They're trying to create viral moments moments with penis and turd answers.

Yeah. And because yeah, because like John said, the Steve Harvey reactions to those are like a lot of them went viral, you know, and they realized it was good for the show. I would never listen to or watch a show where they talk about a bunch of sex and turd oriented stuff That's just not that's not for me. My you listening not oriented stuff. Definitely. No Which is sorry Brian what was about that last flight you Guys which is better

I just want to ask your opinion on which is better press your luck the og Guys, which is better? I just want to ask your opinion on which is better. Press your luck. The OG whammy, the all new press your luck, my pick or press your luck. The new one, the crap one. I don't know what any of that is. Well, this answer from this person, Jeopardy alumni, too, says the newest version of press your luck isn't crap.

I'd love to know why you'd call it that. To be honest, the new pressure luck is my most favorite. No, the original version of press pressure luck is my most favorite. No, the original version of press your luck is the best cause the guy, uh, like manipulated it and won like a hundred thousand dollars. And we love whammies famous game show stories of all time. It's like was absolute genius. I mean, the guy is from everything you read a complete piece of shit, but very cool.

Story. The whammies are the best. I just love the whammies so much. It was just such a big deal to me. When they got a whammy, I'd be so excited. It's like one of those shows where when they do bad, you get to get excited because you get to see a whammy do something. I've never heard of this show or any of this stuff. You guys are-

So basically what it is, Chris, is it's a show, it's called Press Your Lock, and you sit there with a button and there's called Press Your Luck and you sit there with a button and the the there's like a light up board. And so the light changes to all these different squares and then you press a button and you're trying to win prizes. You have to answer trivia questions once the prizes match up or whatever. And then if you land on this thing called a whammy, you lose all your money and you lose your turn.

Well, in my opinion, I think they should get rid of the whammies. That probably better. If they got rid of the whammies and just had you lose your turn, I think it would be a little bit less hard on the players. That's just the thing. It's the first time hearing about it, but this seems like a simple thing. The thing I'm referring to, Chris, is on the original Press Your Luck, this guy

was a fan of the show and taped a bunch of episodes and then realized watching them back to back that there was like three squares that the Whammy never appeared in. So what's happening is like the lights are changing and the squares are also changing. So there's like kind of a like I could never like this show. I don't think. Oh, I loved it. You've never seen a whammy. Yeah. The whammy is pretty cool because the whammy is also like an anthropomorphized creature. And then they do like a little like animation with the whammy. It kind of looks like a like a porcupine or like a hedgehog or something. And this has been canceled. This is gone. No, this is still going on.

They brought it back. They're hosting it. But you should definitely. Who's who's hosting it? Elizabeth Banks. This is gone. No, this is still going on. But you should definitely who's who's hosting it? Elizabeth Banks. Oh, yeah. You know who Elizabeth Bank you would know if you saw it. I do know who it is. I wasn't expecting it to be Elizabeth Bank. She's the host of the show. Well, let's let's let's you know what what how much time do we have? I think I got okay Yeah, let's do this. Let's do Wheel of Fortune live some reviews for Wheel of Fortune live I

Think off the ticketmaster app, which by the way, if you're ever looking for a place to read reviews The ticketmaster app is the fucking place. How'd you covered? Oh, they're so it's so weird Like we've talked we talked about this after the Jam Band episode. I don't think we talked about it in it. But people are going on Ticketmaster and they're buying tickets for an event. They're going to the event and then coming home and going back on Ticketmaster to review the event. It seems like nobody in the world would ever do that. Well, I think it's because Ticketmaster sends you an email, right? Like they send you an email after the show is over and they will be like, how did you like the show? Send us

your thoughts. And most people just leave that in their junk folder, like regular people. But yes, I'm sure there are some people who are like, oh, Ticketmaster, they, you want to know my thoughts? You want to know my thoughts. Ticket master. Okay. I would just think three times that I never met Drew Carey once. Not one time. They wouldn't even let me take a picture of the wheel. Yeah. I mean, the thing I think it comes up in here, but this first review is three stars, which is going to be less. At least let me meet Mimi. You know, okay.

Yeah, he's not on the show. This is three stars, which isn't a bad score really out of five three, right? Of average person says disappointed I was hoping to get the real show experience But they had a substitute host due to the regular host emergency. The humor was low the games were all the humor was emergency. The humor was low. The games were all humor was low. I am usually watching the prices right for the noted. This is wheel of fortune. First of all, the humor is low though. That's like I've never heard someone describe it. We like high humor here. You want to get a high humor. I've never heard of anyone described Pat's aak as funny. No, I have actually

I just recently watched a thing about Pat Sajak on YouTube like a whole documentary about him And he was that was why how he got the job on Wheel of Fortune I could go through all of it with you guys, but like yeah, he is a weatherman and He he would put a band bandaid on his face and then every time he'd come off the screen, he'd move the bandaid, you know, and then he would come back and the person that was doing Wheel of Fortune was like, we got to get this fucking host this.

Got to get the bandaid weatherman. Get me the bandaid weatherman on the phone. He also worked on a Spanish radio station. So that's the other thing that was there. So the humor was low. The games were untypically easy, which I had to really break that apart in my mind. Like, so they're not as easy as would be typical.

Or they are as easy. They are easier. they're they are as easy. They are easier. They're too easy. Yes, they're easier than the show is this and I'll say this. Yeah. Wheel of Fortune. First of all is already easy but then the second thing is the reason for that is because if you're going to see live Wheel of Fortune, you don't want to see people struggle. Yeah, the worst live show experience ever of people just being like I don't know what this fucking

puzzle is like yeah yeah you have to make it easier for the road show anyway you do well and then he goes the angle of the stage with the contestants was not flattering so I'm not sure what he saw sure what he saw. Do you like down like someone's side boob or something? Maybe up a dress. Yeah, like, what does that mean? Some guy's asshole or something? I don't even know. I have no fucking idea what they would wear. Patty says terrible seats for the price we paid. it wasn't cheap.

The seats were terrible. We had to sit at an angle to view the stage. We ended up having aching backs from our positions. The show itself was nice. One star. That was a one star review for the show. So Mo says four stars. That's a good score.

That is ambiguously a good score. It's like a 90%. Well, it's 80%. Yeah, that's a 90. Not literally 80%. Yeah, it is 80. I mean, pretty easy math equation. Five goes into 120 times. So you multiply four by 20 and you get 80 there friend. 90. Not exactly what is expected by Mo. He goes, I thought it would be more opportunities to win a trip or something, but mostly t shirts given out. No one won a big trip or money because the prize puzzle was not solved. We did have a pretty good time. So first of all, people are going to this thing thinking they're giving the prizes that they give on the show, right? Yeah. They can't do that. No, because they could, but they won't. They wouldn't because they're in the

business of making money. And so they won't. I think it's cost prohibitive, I guess. Yeah. I don't think you're going to be going to see Wheel of Fortune at Chubby's Casino and winning a car. I don't think they're gonna be driving it. They could. Yeah, because they probably make enough on the show to definitely. No, they don't make enough on the show to be handing out cars and trips. Oh, I think so. If you're doing it at a theater and you have, you know, 5000 seats in it or whatever, and you're charging $70 a seat, I think you are making enough to give someone a car, but they wouldn't.

They wouldn't. Imagine the crew, they need a crew to bring that stuff there. The rental on the venues is extremely insanely expensive. Oh, do you not think that people when they're going to do a show, Brian though, do you not think that an act that's going and doing a theater show is making a lot of money doing it? It's not that, I just think that handing out trips and a car.

I mean, you're right. But I'm just saying they are making enough money where they could. They would not lose money, most likely in giving out a car if they were selling these shows out at like $100 a ticket or whatever. Well, this is a three star review. It's kind of boring by men. The guy's name is meh. review it's kind of boring by man the guy's name is man the hosts were great Cody was awesome Cody I heard that I heard that Cody actually isn't getting a chance though to do the hosting this year anymore Dwayne is going gonna be doing it instead. I think this might actually come out at the perfect time for this joke. I think it's gonna be right around. Yeah, it's like a week before.

Yeah. The problem is they could like change. Yeah, I think isn't it? Aren't they saying he's gonna do two fights that he's gonna fight the rock one night and Cody the next night Yeah, we'll see. No, that's not what they're saying. They're saying they're saying that they're gonna do nine fights now Each person's gonna fight each other three times. There's fatal four away So this comes out March 26 and WrestleMania I think is the week after that hold on wrestle mania 40 XL actually is

what it's called is on let's let us know everyone how that joke hit for April 6. So just say like, Hey, this this joke hit pretty hard or like, you know, oh, things a lot of things changed. You know, there was a there was that horrific plane crash where, you know, the all the people died and now that Quite poor taste, you know, just comment below it whatever have well mess says kind of boring The hosts were great Cody was awesome. The letter Turner girl was gorgeous and seen

Worth the price Oh, babe alert. Worth the price of mission just staring her for an hour and a half. Yeah, the letter to her girl was a babe would have been gorgeous is another word that the that babe guys would use, you know, oh, she's gorgeous. But listen to the next part, which really will narrow you out. The letter Turner girl was gorgeous and seem genuinely grateful to have this part. Oh, we don't get to know her much more beyond that. Oh, this guy is staring at her like like from a movie like a story. What's I wish Cody would ask her a question. He is in love. He's like literally fallen in love with this girl.

Like she should be like it she should be concerned like he I hope he can't Find out like anything more about her. I don't want Anything more about her. I don't want it. I hope that there's no information available because he will find it The line we don't get to know her much more beyond that is just incredible mark The host was funny, but clearly self-absorbed and arrogant. So he didn't like the guy Like the man the letter Turner girl was really down to earth. I sort of noticed I mean, they didn't really talk to her but you could tell she was really just grateful to be there down to earth and host A man very cocky and arrogant turns out there. he didn't even ask the letter Turner girl a single question.

It turns out Mark is the Mark was like great. Like he loved Mark so much. But then at the end of the show, he like saw like just backstage, he saw the letter turned girl kiss Mark, like they're in a relationship together. And then now he's like the arrogant fucking prick Mark piece of shit doesn't know how good he's got it. You can just tell by the look in his eye. Yeah, pure evil. He's an evil creep. Yeah. Yeah.

Mark, the host was funny, but clearly self-absorbed and arrogant. I'm not so sure about him. It's weird. Yeah, that's you're right. I'm not sure about that guy. I tried to warn the letter Turner girl that he was going to break her heart. But she wouldn't listen to me. Guys, listen to nice guys like guys yelling in the audience. Don't date him. I'm nice. I will. So do you live here or do you travel with the show? It's weird because they tell us to get really excited. Then we have to be quiet. We watch random people.

Wait, wait. That really is that somebody told them to quiet down because he's being too loud in the parts where they're supposed to be. So all the stuff we're saying about this guy, it's like, I think we're not completely wrong about it. I think he wasn't causing a scene. We found a weird guy.

I think we stumbled upon a weird guy. One of the weirder ones. I should look up more of his reviews if you can. I don't think you can, because his name is Matt. So, oh, yeah, his name is Matt. His name is Matt. Like he's trying to play it off. Like he's like, I don't really care about any of this. I like to see Creedence Clearwater revival this week. And, uh, the show was pretty good, but they had a keyboard player and she was gorgeous. Or with the band. Yeah. I don't know where John Fogarty would have met her,

but she seemed very happy to be there. Didn't really talk much, but the way she played the piano, you could tell she was very talented. Can you read his whole, this whole review again from the beginning? It's so good. So it's three stars and the subject line is kind of boring The hosts were great. Cody was awesome The letter Turner girl was gorgeous and seemed genuinely grateful to have this part

We don't get to know much more beyond that mark. The host was funny, but clearly self-absorbed and arrogant I'm not so sure about him. It's weird because they tell us to get really excited. Then we have to be quiet We watch random people play and the chances of getting picked are slim It was kind of fun, but would not go again. No, no, let me ask this Who did they think they were gonna watch play? He says we watch random people play he thought he was gonna be playing This is all what it is. Yeah, that's all that it is. The only way that this could get five stars or whatever from these people is if they were chosen and they were a contestant, because that's what everyone's hoping. Well, not everyone, but a lot of people are hoping for that opportunity. stars night of my life yeah I got to play wheel of fortune yeah like I got a

pretty close look at the letter Turner and she was gorgeous yeah it would be like five stars I was picked like yes there was an issue with the sewage and or at the bathroom sit and there was shit all over the floors and it smelled of like you know they could be like the worst show in the history of the world but if they got picked, it'd be five stars. This guy just really wanted to like get closer to the the baby letter turner and he would have been on stage playing but been

like, you turn those letters like crazy. I don't know how you do it. Honestly, like I could make a life for you. You're too good for this place. Yeah, like honestly. They should have you. You're touring with Wheel of Fortune Live, you're better than that.

They don't even talk to you. You don't even get to know anything about you during the show. You should be the fucking host. You should be those. That Mark, he's fucking arrogant. He's arrogant and the crowd does not like him. You would be, the crowd would love you. I hate everybody.

Everybody in the crowd was pointing you out on stage and saying, that's the real charisma. Ma'am, I have a gun in my car and I'll shoot Mark if you ask me to. He shows up in the Dex town. Like then it's like the letter turner ladies like oh, oh no He's going jam band mode on it Get around like the grateful day Sitting outside and one of those folding chairs in front of the venue like a day early and as people show up He's just like you've got to see this letter Turner, babe. It is fucking crazy How hot she is? Here's our last one and it's not what I expected,

three stars. The event was cold. Of course, since it was sitting atop an ice rink, the stage was small. And this next line I love, the contestants could have at least removed their ball caps. Ooh. Oh.

A little decorum please. Could we have a little decorum? I don't want you wear a ball cap on the TV show. This is old. Only old people are concerned about this decorum at shows. It's Wheel of Fortune. It's not like something high. Yeah, man.

This is a Wheel of Fortune. I think people have ball caps on the show. Like, do you know what I mean? I think that you could do it and see somebody wearing a ball cap on Wheel of Fortune. I'd probably buy a new ball cap to wear. I'd probably buy a Wheel of Fortune one, you know? I wouldn't do that. No, you would have bought the VIP package, Chris,

which would have come with a cap. Yeah, exactly. They should have been coached on not saying things before their letter selection. The girls should have done a full coaching session probably for each random contestant. Yeah, yeah, just coach all of them. Maybe you know have them watch a DVD beforehand or whatever. Guys wait you mean to tell me that these random people who got

selected to play Wheel of Fortune and be on stage in front of thousands of people hammed it up a little bit? That's no way. That's crazy. Well, the next line is going to really get us here. The girl did not seem to understand how to point to the letters on the board. Oh no. Man, her letter turned and ran away with math. He lost her to math.

Mez pissed reading this review. He was like, she was great. She always, I could tell she was confident when she was turning the numbers. It was okay, but probably not worth what was paid for the tickets. And that is our last review. Probably not worth what was paid for the tickets. So you didn't even buy them.

That person's like, you know, someone else paid for the tickets. So you didn't even buy them. Like, you know, someone else paid for the, like, whoever bought these probably wasn't worth it. This is a real present. It was a present from the, cause I read a lot of people that bought it as a present for their parents. And then like the shittiest part about it is they bought it as a present for their parents. And then they would do the bad review and,

and you could tell that the parents were like, that sucked, man, I hated that. The way they write the reviews are just like, like, uh, uh. Yeah, that sucks to get, because usually, imagine you go on your like, parents' account as well. You like, see it, and you like, see their fucking review of it, or you're just like going to the thing and you like notice your

like mom's review and it's bad. It's also like when you read the reviews on Amazon and they're like, my kid hated it. And you're like, so whatever you bought, the kid was yelling about it to you saying how bad it sucks and how it wasn't what you wanted. And I think that's what the the end result of this is, is that like, the parents call you on the phone. And they're like, it was a weird angle. There were

people wearing baseball caps. It just wasn't was sitting in front of there wasn't a real Gary wasn't there and you're like, I'm sorry. I was just trying to do something nice for you. You and mom don't get out that much I'm so I'm sorry. I can go do you want me to call them? Do you want me to call somebody? You love Wheel of Fortune. Yeah, it's also like I thought this was perfect But I guess it sucked and yes, of course Pat's not there. What do you think he's traveling around? Well, that is game show guys, which the first ever show that I let the guest kind of pick, I didn't pick it. I picked it, but I didn't pick it. If that makes any sense. I mean, I didn't tell

you, you better have me on the show. And you better do game. Well, I don't let people pick and like, I don't let anybody pick because except for the patrons choice one, I don't let anybody pick because then people are just, they think they get the pick and it's like, brother, you don't get the pick. I pick, I pick, I just saying that you wouldn't have done game show guys. If I wasn't coming on, cause you know, I love game shows. John, it wasn't even on the list. So no, I wouldn't have done it. I feel very privileged.

Thank you. It was an interesting one. It was an interesting show to research because like, like Chris said, so many people get on these shows per year that you could read people's accounts. And I think, you know, my dream has always been to spin the wheel of fortune wheel because all I want in the world is to spend That is a fucking sad sad dream to have like but anyways I want to spin the wheel. I learned a lot. I mean, there's a lot of other stuff you want to do I'm sure no bigger than that. No, I can't well, okay. There's one more thing I'd like to do Spin the wheel on the prices, right? Oh, yeah. That I understand.

I learned a lot about Jeopardy and stuff and learned a lot about the game shows. I had fun on this episode. I did. I enjoyed it. I think learning about how Jeopardy works, and I guess I knew, but the idea that people are training for this and trying to do it and shit is I don't know how Jeopardy works and I guess I kind of knew but the idea that people are training for this and like trying to do it and shit is like yeah it's very interesting. You can't even believe the trivia world. I'll tell you more about it off the episode but it's a wild ride.

And that's also the thing that's why I don't want to be on Jeopardy I want to be on Wheel of Fortune. Basically a lock contest. Oh, we have a game here called Cash Explosion. It's a local one and you go to the Ohio lottery machine and you get a Cash Explosion card. And if you scratch it off and it says contestant, then they put it in a big tumbler and they pick one of the cards out for three three cards out for three contestants, right and the game is just a grid and Every single spot on the grid has money on it and it's just people standing there going like B it turns around $50

So there's no I think it's in Cleveland or something, but there's no happening I could get sing Cleveland or something but there's no there's zero questions and there's people taking squares and then they win a certain amount of money yeah that's the show I want to be because you leave with money but uh John tell them where to find you yes well uh I think the reason we did game show guys is because I have a brand new podcast out. It's called What is a Jeopardy podcast? And that is with Emily Heller, who's a very funny comedian and TV writer. And yeah, it's a weekly recap show of Jeopardy. That is, you know, we're trying to make it accessible to people who maybe don't even watch every episode of Jeopardy or even watch Jeopardy at all.

We try to focus on some of the fun aspects of the show and yeah, it's really fun. So you can check that out. And yeah, as you said, off the top of the show, I am your pod cast host partner. So if you wanna listen to Brian and I talk about New Metal, that's there and Blocked Party is my other podcast with Stefan Heck. And yeah. Hey, John, I got a question for you. Sure. Hey, got enough
