Starting point is 00:04:59 As intro music Retroactively cursing the night In a way Yeah In a way. Yeah. In a way. Yes. It's also a very mellow song. I had to walk out to that and like mid fist bump it felt wrong.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yes. Right. Right. Yes. We agree. You think it's going to be as bad as I do. So we are on the same page. Major key alert.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Bored people bore people. Right? Sure, I guess. What about the other fucking people, man? I don't like this energy. Let's bring in our next guest. All right, give it up for Jacob Pencooper Herway! I've been married a long time ago. Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Starting point is 00:05:57 Cotton Eye Joe. Here we go. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I resent that you didn't get up to greet me. I figured if I keep doing that, it's going to be 20 minutes of intros. That's my fear. Cool.
Starting point is 00:06:12 No, it was rude. It was weird to be the second guy. Is this for Jeff or for me? Yeah, he asked me to bring out his drink, and he didn't even stand up to take it from me. He just played Cotton Eye Joe and expected me to know the dance, which thankfully I did. You didn't track me.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You were practicing it. We didn't talk about that. Yeah, yeah. And let's get our last guest for the first segment, Marika Brownlee, the birthday girl! You don't call me daddy

Starting point is 00:06:57 You say, let's get it over with. We shot the video this week. I've been in New York since last Friday. Red eye. It shouldn't have taken you that long to shoot an MOS video. I've been in New York since last Friday, red eye. It shouldn't have taken you that long to shoot an MOS video. I'm sorry. Also, you didn't have to take a red eye. You came here a week early.
Starting point is 00:07:12 A red eye is what important people in a rush have to do. You have all the time in the world. You could have left at noon, four, eight. Nobody cares for you there or here. What are we all doing?
Starting point is 00:07:35 God damn. Why do you listen to this show? We sold out the Gramercy, I think. Almost. We did. Almost. My God. Pretty good, yeah. Well, I guess we should just wax. Almost. Yeah. Almost. My God. Pretty good, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Well, I guess we should just wax. No. No way. You have to have prepared something. You said you were worried the intros would go too long. You said, I'm going to cut the songs off early. I'm worried the intros will go too long. We have segments, but we have to fill time.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Sure. By the way, seeing your soundboard is fucking perverted now that I can see it. Yeah. There's no organization to it. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And you're fast with it, too. Well, because I've memorized it, you know? Give us a that was easy. That was easy. If you guys could see how many sounds are on the board, it would be really impressive.
Starting point is 00:08:24 There's too many. And I don't use half of them because some of them are bad. Yeah. Damn, Daniel. Back at it again with the white van. You use that one a lot. Yeah, I know. You have like 80.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You use four. It should be a lot. At least put the ones you use a lot on one line. Yeah, you're scanning. It's like third row from the left is damn Daniel. They're also just like all different colors for no reason. Well, it's like synesthesia, right? So for Troll-O-Lo, I was like, that's kind of like a light brown.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You know what I mean? So for the show. Sorry. I was on the board. I didn't know Gramercy was under a flight path. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Manhattan, right?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Cheers. Let's get into this shit with everyone's Bonds of the Week. God damn it. Once a week till the next James Bond is cast, we're all going to pick a Bond. I really didn't prepare for that. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:27 No, everyone else can go first. I've told everyone nothing. The only people that know the segments are people that aren't here tonight. Right. Right. Right. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Bond's of the week. Yeah. Fucking who cares? Wesley Snipes. They have to be British. I don't listen to the fucking show. Wesley Snipes' cousin, Leslie Snipes,
Starting point is 00:09:54 who's from... Cardiff. That's right, Cardiff. Let's do Ralph Fiennes. So, M. What's that? The current M. What?
Starting point is 00:10:05 In Bond. I haven't seen James Bond in probably 10 years. It's clear. Yeah, from like 15 years old. No, I thought it was Judi Dench. Spoiler alert,
Starting point is 00:10:18 she died. Ferris cut all of this out. Yeah, keep looking, man. What's the ejector button? This show isn't set up to be a live show because so much of it... It's not set up to be a recorded show either. It's mostly
Starting point is 00:10:37 awkward silence. Let's get the energy up. Can we all agree one thing? I'll only ask you this and then a couple other things. We all stand up and we shake it out. Now? How long are we into this? Do we have a timer, Mike? It's so bad that that is going to cause the audience to applaud.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Good, they reset. I think let's get into our first segment. Are you guys ready? Here we go. Welcome to ham or spam? No No fucking way What do you mean? Is this why you prepared?
Starting point is 00:11:31 Yeah So the game You haven't even heard the rules yet Don't be mad already I know the rules Then why don't you explain it, mister? You're gonna show us photos We're gonna guess if it's ham or spam
Starting point is 00:11:42 We're playing for cash, right? Alright, lucky guess $100 for every right us photos, we're going to guess if it's ham or spam. We're playing for cash, right? All right. Lucky guess. $100 for every right, $100 we owe you for every wrong. Is that about right? Very good. Thank you. You're oddly good at keeping
Starting point is 00:11:56 track of that shit. Like, yeah, like eight minutes in, you're like, all right, Amir's down $600 and Rekha's up $900. And it's always accurate. I don't like that about you. Let's put it to the test right here. No buzzing in, just yell out the answer.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Number one. Ham. It's ham. I mean, yeah. I thought it would be a little harder than that. Spam is going to be a little creasier, fam. Jake is in the lead with 100. He did edgy out Marika by one.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Thank you. Here we go. Number two. You want it? You know what it is. It's creasy as hell. It looks like pancakes. That's spam. Alright, Hurwitz is pulling ahead, cleaning house. That is absolutely spam. I was thrown off by the slices. Well, that should be the dead giveaway that it's spam.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Here we go. It gets harder. It gets harder. Ham. Really? Really? That's so pixelated. You couldn't find a large photo of either? It's zoomed in for sure. Yeah. You're looking for a sound.
Starting point is 00:13:00 What are you going to play? It was ham. She said ham. No, it was spam I meant. It doesn't fucking matter. It's all content. We have to put out a fucking episode next week. So here we are. Mike's recording. We got Marika
Starting point is 00:13:18 Brownlee on the sax. We got Mike Comite on the fact. What do we think? Is that a different photo? Is it not? I saw the label and it's ham. Fine, here.
Starting point is 00:13:30 That looks like part of your body. I don't want to look anymore. Ham. Yeah, I think that's ham as well. That's correct. That was ham.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Marika Brownlee has $200 or $100. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Jake has $200. Here we go. I love that the door is open We can see that one's spam
Starting point is 00:13:47 Because the label kind of showed up I named it so that I could make sure $300 to me Alright, fine This is so fucked I'm not even getting paid for this Alright, here we go I think that's spam as well
Starting point is 00:14:04 Correct, $400. I thought that was the same photo. By the way, you're a CEO, and I know that you have a Patreon that's really successful for an ad pod. You don't need the money. I'm not a CEO. It's Marika's birthday today.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Happy birthday, by the way. Thank you. Like, don't let her win, but don't be an asshole. I'm gonna buy her something nice with my $400. You're gonna buy her spam with your $400.
Starting point is 00:14:25 All right, this might be the last one. I hope. I'm actually impressed. nice with my $400. You're going to buy her spam with your $400. Alright. This might be the last one. I hope. I'm actually impressed. Ham or spam? Ham. Really? You have to look to make sure. Correct! $200. Let's see if Marika can get it on this last one. This one's triple or nothing.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Here we go. That looks like Mars. Spam. That's correct. Very nice. So you win with $500. Thank you. I'll wait for it.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I think it might be more. You said it was triple or nothing. It's triple or nothing. It's not 200. It's triple 300. I get that. I keep track. Somebody at Venmo is going to be so weirded out looking at your history.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Like this guy sends thousands of dollars and then gets it back within an hour to a day. What's the scam there? What's the spam there, actually? I'm just going to make sure that everybody knows. Nice, yeah. Thanks. Can you just confirm that this is real? Confirm that that's Marika's name?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah, 500. I got it. No reaction. Thanks, Dad. I do Venmo people. Yeah, unfortunately. The only person who wasn't going to send money back was Caleb Heron, and I had to beg him.
Starting point is 00:15:51 How fucked is that? I'm not going to grovel. It sounds like you did. You said I had to beg him. Then you said I'm not going to grovel. Jake, I will eat your ass. All right. I should have started a timer, because I don't know how long the show's going to go.
Starting point is 00:16:12 There's a clock right there. And there it is. So we've been going for 15 minutes. We have five minutes to fill, or we can move on. What do you guys want to do? I don't know, man. That's like an internal process that you should go through as a host. That's not a question that you ask out loud into a microphone.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Very good. Yeah. I went through Bond of the Week to get to this segment, and now you're like, what should we do? We could go back to Bond of the Week. Yeah, we did gloss over that. I said Ray Fiennes, which I guess was a spoiler. What about Ranulf Fiennes, the explorer who circumnavigated the globe in 2012,
Starting point is 00:16:44 and I read his book. Is he British? Hmm? Yes, he's British. The one rule you had? Yeah. No, he is British. That's good.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Let's move on. Sorry, I was just joking. I thought it would be funny. Daddy, chill. That was quick. That was quick. I think we should move on to our next segment Sure Why are you asking us?
Starting point is 00:17:09 You told us that you would Everybody Alright For this next segment We're going to need Jake and Marika Out of here Which I thought I would have put on the soundboard But didn't have time
Starting point is 00:17:24 So you want us to just get up and leave? Why don't you get up and leave, and if you could go find... Yeah. One of you knows, the other doesn't. I want to keep it a surprise. And you know who to get? Alright, thank you. Let's give it up. They'll be back.
Starting point is 00:17:40 They'll be back. Do they know who to get? Yes, they're right there. I see them. Let's get the boys. You're going to have to say their name, man. They don't know because you didn't tell them. No, let's get... Yeah, they know.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah, Jake's seeing them. Here we go. Please welcome Danny sellers Everybody, everybody, let's get into it. Get stoned. I'm all started. I'm all started. Get started. Let's get it started.

Starting point is 00:18:41 I don't work there. Yeah, well, you're sort of canon. Yeah, I'm lore. Yeah, lore. I come hang out, and I, like, drink the Spindrift. Yeah, and the Kool-Aid. Yeah. We had a company retreat.
Starting point is 00:18:59 I brought you guys here for a very special reason. I'm really excited about it. Are you guys ready to play a game? Spammer ham. Here we go. Welcome to... Wow. They love it.
Starting point is 00:19:17 This is Jeopardy! So this is Jeopardy! New York City Edition. So every category you see is related to the Big Apple. I was really worried it was going to keep going. So our categories are Captain Sully,
Starting point is 00:19:42 All Things Rockefeller, Billy Joel's Drafts, Fair, and Midtown Hidden Gems. Oh, I have to add a team. Now? Ferris, cut this out. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:20:01 All right, here we go. Are you guys ready? This is for actual cash. Every number you see on the board, it's winner takes all, but that is an amount of money that you could win go. Are you guys ready? This is for actual cash. Every number you see on the board, it's winner takes all, but that is an amount of money that you could win tonight. Are you guys ready?
Starting point is 00:20:10 How do we say, there's a button like, yeah, you could just say buzz. Or no, let's put something New York. Say Yanks. I don't want to play then. What?
Starting point is 00:20:20 I'm not going to buzz in for that. That's the bar? Yeah. You've done so much worse shit on this show. I'll say Mets. Alright, so we've had some Mets. I shouldn't touch New York sports. Just say Mets or Yanks.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Get the fuck out of the way. I'm walking over here. That's a buzzing N word He's never played a game Alright Let's start off with the guest of honor Danny Sellers You control the board
Starting point is 00:20:57 Let's go with my dog Sully for $200 Captain Sully for Are you sure? No 2009 Sully for $200. Captain Sully for... Are you sure? No. Alright, Captain Sully for $200. 2009. Mets?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Without fail, not even skipping a beat, Johnny goes, Mets, and smiles so earnestly. Yes, Johnny. I feel like that's the year that movie that he was in released. Well, he wasn't in it. It was Tom Hanks. Is that right? I also didn't answer his question. That was wrong.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I didn't know there was a buzzer and there's an etiquette. I think it's the year. What is the year that it happened? It's so close. That's so close. Anybody? Those were my two, only two guesses. Everybody
Starting point is 00:21:49 else is taking a complete shot in the dark. Here we go. The correct answer was what year did Sully turn 58? Nice. I was about to say that, actually. That was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Only one guess per round, obviously, though. So, for some reason, Johnny Villa controls the board. You're clicking on a button that's a space bar. Instead of using the space bar, right. I think he could just use the space bar. Well, it's hard, you know, because I have this one monitor here. It's connected to that. This isn't even my laptop.
Starting point is 00:22:21 It's the biggest button. Yeah. All right. Johnny Villa controls the board. I'll do fair for the biggest button. Yeah. All right. Johnny Villa controls the board. I'll do fair for 200. Really? All right. I think I'm ready.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Fair for 200. Oh, this is perfect. A burger joint Johnny wouldn't dare step foot in. Met. Is Johnny? Yes. Oh. Danny.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Shake Shack. I want to give it to you. That's incorrect. Yanks. Yes, George. Is it something like In-N-Out because Johnny doesn't live on the West Coast? You know what? That's funnier, so I'll give you the cash for it, but that's not it. I've definitely never opened up to you about the burger joints I go to.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Okay. Is it a burger joint called the Burger Joint? Wait, holy shit. I actually think it is. I'll still give that to him here. Where is Burgers by Honest Chops in the village? No, that's not what I said.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Do we have any NYU students here? Do you guys ever go to Burgers by Honest Chops? Cool. Is that a Chops? Cool. Is that a real place? No. Weirdly, we got two winners that round. Either of which got it right.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You control the board. I'm trying to do it without looking because my neck is starting to hurt. There's been a lot of turning this way. Yeah, Midtown's Gems, I think, is one of them for 100. Okay, here we go. Midtown Hidden Gems.
Starting point is 00:23:50 A secret roundabout. Pull out my Google Maps. Can we have like a hint? Is this like a street or an intersection or something? Your hint is it's pretty awesome. Not a word. That's not a word.
Starting point is 00:24:14 It's pretty awesome. Oh, okay. I'll go Yanks and Columbus Circle. Holy shit. Absolutely correct. See, it's because you lived here for so long. Yeah, I don't even live here. It's because I think you don't know what secret means.
Starting point is 00:24:31 All right. And again, you can't just touch that space bar. Let's go hidden gems, which I'm starting to think are not hidden at all. I will say pre-fucking clue, Yanks Empire State Building. Incorrect. Fuck!
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah. No, because that's the tallest building, almost. Yeah. It was the tallest building when I was young. And Columbus Circle is a huge circle. All right, let's see the 200. 200, yeah. 200, here we go.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Midtown Hidden Gems. A museum worth seeking out, if you can find it. Yanks. Yes, George. Is the MoMA in Midtown? Correct! I don't spend a lot of time here.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It is, not kind of neck and neck, but George is cleaning house. I'm sorry to say. Well, it's because I was bitter that you said Danny was the guest of honor. And we glossed over it.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Sheesh! Sorry. No, it's fine. You control the board if it's any consolation. No, it is. I'll take Billy Joel's drafts for 300. Billy Joel's drafts for 300.
Starting point is 00:25:51 A tweet Billy didn't end up sending. Is this the clue for all of them? No. It should have been. Again, George is punching up Jeopardy. He's probably touring in Chicago, and he's probably like touring in Chicago and he was gonna be like
Starting point is 00:26:07 I'm in a Chicago state of mind come see me at the Bean November 4th holy shit this was two years ago or last year and so the show
Starting point is 00:26:19 got cancelled for COVID okay here's the thing you guys have to get your answers in because I forgot what I wrote Uptown Squirrel and And it's a picture. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Squirrel, yeah. Wait, can I change my answer? Sorry. Yes, you can. I'm so sorry for steamrolling you right now. You say your thing. I'm so rude. No, you go. I feel like... No, mine is not... It's not good. You have to say it.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Every second that goes by where you don't say it is worse. Call me Piano Guy. He was right. Is that your final answer? Yeah, I think... That actually might be closer to it. I do not remember what I wrote. Danny, Johnny, get your final answers in.
Starting point is 00:27:05 This is not how Jeopardy works. This is final Jeopardy in a way. In the middle of the action. I was going to say, damn, what is damn, bro? This party's kind of thick. That also might be it. Johnny, let's hear it. I can't say right or wrong for anything.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I think he wanted to tweet, you're perfect just the way you are, but it was over the 140 character limit. It wouldn't have been. What is just sour the day at a stranger's bris AMA? I honestly feel like Danny was the closest. Johnny, you know I love you, man,
Starting point is 00:27:48 but you gotta step it up, man. I'm not familiar with... This isn't a hard game. It's just Jeopardy. It absolutely is a hard game. Also, Jeopardy is famously hard. Just saying it's just Jeopardy doesn't make it easier. Before you put your demented twist on it,
Starting point is 00:28:04 it was already difficult. Danny controls the board. Oh, okay. I like old, dead white men. All things Rockefeller. 300, I guess. All things Rockefeller for 300. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Rockefeller's Center. Mets, what is Rockefeller's Center? Fuck! Mets What is Rockefeller Center? Fuck Why do you torture us? Mets What is 30 Rock? Come on You gotta give me that one
Starting point is 00:28:37 I'm not gonna give it to you man You gotta earn your keep Yanks What is Rockefeller's Millionaire's Heart? I mean that's not right That's, but it's the closest answer so far Danny? What is Jay-Z? The correct answer we were looking for is
Starting point is 00:28:55 What is another name for John D. Rockefeller's penis? So, sort of a center of gravity. There's no way this is going worse than you thought it would. I thought you guys were going to be going home with some serious quiche, so much that I moved over money from my savings for this. Here we go. George controls the board for no reason. I'll do... I want to
Starting point is 00:29:26 redeem myself with Billy Joel's draft, so I'm going to go for that for 200. Here we go. Billy Joel's draft for 200. A lyric Billy wrote down after a six-hour delay at LaGuardia. A Yanks. Yes, Danny. Damn, it's still thick in here. That's incorrect. Again, all your answers I want them to be right
Starting point is 00:29:48 What the hell is this? You looked at the board As if you were going to push the space partner No, you guys get a chance This is crazy I don't know enough Billy Joel songs There's 400 people in the room And you are dead silent
Starting point is 00:30:03 Giving me nothing today Who's Billy Joel songs. There's 400 people in the room and you are dead silent, giving me nothing today. Who's Billy Joel? He's sort of the Randy Newman of New York. It's Randy Newman! I almost had you come out to I Love L.A. That's pretty good. Instead you did I Had a Bad Day.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Cause you had a bad day. Cause you had a bad day. Any guess. Any guess, it probably won't be right. We have to move on. Or I'll just move on. Here we go. What is but at least it ain't Newark. Is that a real lyric?

Starting point is 00:39:24 Andrew Pyle. Holy shit. We got Pyle. Yeah. Shit. How did we afford Pyle? We got Pyle bussed down here via Greyhound. Not enough chairs, not enough mics.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Jeopardy was not chaotic enough. We wanted to do this. Yeah, you guys have two people all day. Three mics. We have no chairs. One mic. Oh, Pyle, very nice. Thank you. This is Family Room! Alright.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Wow. Everyone here was surveyed about each and every... Actually, not all of you. Only some of you. And some of you aren't even on stage. And we were asked specific... They were asked specific questions
Starting point is 00:40:15 about your guys' personality, your annoying habits, et cetera, et cetera. And basically, this is Family Rude. So top 314 answers on the board. Danny, can you just be my space bar guy? It's a big responsibility. Why is it sticky?
Starting point is 00:40:34 Oh my god. This is not how I wanted this to go. Really? You didn't plan this at all. So how did you think it would go? Let's hit space bar. And let's do show question. So it's more than the space bar, guys. It's a little bit more involved.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm going to do it. Ferris, cut this out. I'll relieve you. You can still sit. They have three mics and we have one then? Yeah, here. Take this one. Alright. Thank you. Gener this one. All right. Generous even on her birthday.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Very nice. Let's give it up one more time for Marika's birthday. All right. Top 314 answers on the board. Name something sour about Andrew Pyle. I don't know. Can we raise hands? I don't know how Family Feud works.
Starting point is 00:41:24 You had a week. family feud works You buzz Now usually it's one family And they keep naming shit Until they get three X's And then it goes to us so we can steal Why am I explaining the rules to you During the show Buzz, somebody buzzed in
Starting point is 00:41:40 Name something sour about Andrew Pyle His dog is a lemon Liz Lemon the dog. Okay. That's true. That's really good. Show me dog, and then I'm not going to hit it, because I know that that's not on the board.
Starting point is 00:41:56 And it was the best answer. Oh, yeah. A dog named Lemon would have been the perfect answer. I didn't know he had a dog. Of course. Can we buzz? Yes, you can buzz. Pyle is going to go because it's about him. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:10 All right, can I ask one thing? Yes. I showed up tonight and you asked me to be on the show like 20 minutes before it started. My plan was... So what was the plan here? Were you just going to have this entire thing about me and me not be here? Yes. You were going to be in the audience and then I would probably hear a
Starting point is 00:42:25 That's so mean. You do that sometimes. Alright. Well, okay. Earlier I walked into the room and he said you have a sour personality, so I'm going to say personality. Um, you know what? I'll give you that under this category. You're a little slutty.
Starting point is 00:42:48 All right. All right, you guys, now you guys control it, right? How does Family Feud work? Yeah, they keep going until they get three strikes. He's vindictive. I'll give you that
Starting point is 00:42:58 under the category rich but not happy. 188 people say that about it? Yeah, that was the biggest audience answer These are real surveys, we should say They only ask 100 people But that would have come up if you asked me About the rules of the game we're playing on the show
Starting point is 00:43:16 Right Alright, no strikes, keep it going I'd say his jokes are very sour They kind of put people in a very sour mood Yeah, I'm going to give you that one under the category Kind of a redneck. And then Marika Brownlee, take it home.
Starting point is 00:43:31 I guess he's isolated upstate, so that's a sour way to be. Correct! He had a child because you're supposed to. That's not a good reason. Alright. The next question
Starting point is 00:43:49 is what about Amir rubs you wrong just so? Buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. That was really fast we should say. You didn't have to think about it. Where do I start? Right.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Should we do physical stuff? Some't have to think about it. Where do I start? Right. Should we do, like, character, like, physical stuff? Some of them are physical, I think. Because I would get, like, appearance for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Let's go teeth. Appearance work. Buck teeth. Oh, wait, no, that's actually his inexplicable career success. Too many people. Way 222 surveys said that.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Okay. Well, actually, it's explicable because it's kind of, you know, just the line, sure. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:29 What is it? Final Jeopardy or something? Going lightning round? Do we have to go down the line? Yeah, you go down the line or something. You start, Mariko. I'm going to go with
Starting point is 00:44:36 his pants were way too tight today. Stained as well. That's incorrect. But it is true. You know what it is, Amirir It's that you've been working out So you kind of have that thick ass now That's not true But I'll take it as a compliment
Starting point is 00:44:54 Is it our turn or It's No it's down the line right Oh no you got it wrong Yeah Or is it three X's Three X's Three technically
Starting point is 00:45:04 But the rules don't mean anything, so just say who you want to answer. Again, top four answers on the board. Something that rubs you wrong about a mere just so. Oh, I thought something that rubs you wrong about yourself. Oh, I guess I find it hard to fall back asleep after I wake up in the middle of the night. Incorrect.
Starting point is 00:45:23 That is correct. Don't tell me more about myself than you do. That's not what the survey says. Me? Down the line, yeah. Alright. Lately, your farts... You don't have to be like super
Starting point is 00:45:37 specific. Let her have the mic. I am, I am. Let her hold it. I do want her to talk. No, I want to hear this. Oh, it's tough. Lately, your farts are loud and smell. The combo. That might fall under the category can't work up to the courage to propose to Avital.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Those two things are related, yes. I think you have to me here in New York. So this is perfect. Yeah. But you thought Pyle would be here and those were four really nasty things. Anyway. Damn.
Starting point is 00:46:16 You guys are cold. Stare in my eyes when you answer. I think sometimes your eye contact's inconsistent and you don't know where to look at me. Yeah, he's cold personally. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:46:35 Detached. I'll give you it. The issue is I can't see it. Somebody else needs to be controlling the survey. This is so fucked up. And then, yeah, George, Danny, just say anything. I think his overall professional vibe.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Yeah. Show me vibe! Home-owning jackass. That's pretty close. Yeah. It's kind of interesting. home-owning jackass. Pretty close. Yeah. Hmm. It's kind of interesting. Because it's someone that I consider you and I kind of close.
Starting point is 00:47:12 But seeing these all in a row, it's like, yeah, where is the connection? Here we go. You didn't change the root on that one. Top four answers on the board. What is Marty Michaels' cross to bear? Yeah, buzz in.
Starting point is 00:47:31 I'm gonna buzz. Yep. Okaying this show to exist. Okay. Marty started that one. Well, let me see if any of these categories fit. Oh, shit. Fuck.

Starting point is 00:48:22 You can be honest. My parents are in the audience. Welcome to the villas. Very nice. I'm also Johnny's boss, so this is really weird. I want to say that... Welcome to another edition of Thunderdome!
Starting point is 00:48:41 Because now we're kind of really in it. Anyway. I want to say that there were some escapades had on my rooftop. Yes, that's correct. Sorry, wait. You said unethical non-monogamy, right? Oh.
Starting point is 00:48:56 All right. I'd like to rescind my previous comment because my parents aren't listening. All right. LA, you guys are doing this, right? I feel like we got it so we control the board.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Oh, you can find, yeah. You control the board or whatever. Do that thing down the line. Down the line, yeah. So we'll start with Andrew. Yep. You have no idea

Starting point is 00:49:25 Because if so, correct. No exes. Keep it going, New York. Let's say... What do I look like I've said to you? I'm weighing what I want to say knowing your parents are here. I think you should still open up.
Starting point is 00:49:45 They love it. I know it. I don't want to say anything too... I'll say rimming, and that's it. In hopes that they don't know what it is. Notary public role play. Exactly right. That was the other one I was going to say. I don't want to answer this.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Come on, it's your birthday. Shouldn't be a reason. I guess I'll go in the opposite direction. Some light smooching. Spent a summer as a pool boy slash oral slave. Exactly right. My God. Well, New York's obviously winning
Starting point is 00:50:26 pretty heavily. But this brings us to our final round. Are you guys ready? Yes. Yeah. Double or nothing? I, um... I forgot to create a final round.
Starting point is 00:50:41 What? No, I did. The just thing, I had it on my other laptop. And then because of the tech of the theater, we had to switch a final round. What? No, I did. The just thing, I had it on my other laptop and then because of the tech of the theater, we had to switch the laptops out. I see. So let's just say New York wins. Huge.
