Hello and welcome.
Hope you all enjoyed the pre-show.
Yeah, starting a little late.
We have reasons.
Brian will explain that later.
Welcome.
I want to just say a big giant thanks to everybody who's in this room.
give yourselves a big giant round of applause.
It's probably close to everybody that's here.
I mean, maybe somebody's, I don't know,
hung over or something and hiding in their room.
I don't know.
And to them, I say, rest up, you know?
Welcome to our live event coverage of TMS Live Vegas Word Live.
We're covering it.
Before we get into the meet event,
things. I want to just throw out a bunch of
thanks real quick to some very
specific folks for all their extra help
at this year's event. All those badges you've been
wearing around your neck, they wouldn't be possible without
Amy and Chuck Robinson, so thank you, Amy.
Y'all are going to be so sick
of clapping, but please keep clapping.
And for Amy...
Afternames, afternames. Hold on a sec.
And for Amy running the video game
competition. Oh, right. Thank you.
Thank you, Amy. Thank you for that. I didn't want to, that was awesome. I went really well this
year. And Game Face won. Where's Game Face? Congratulations, buddy.
Good job, Logan. We got to, we got to give a shout out to Cheezy G, too, for, is, uh, is Kathy here?
Kathy. Kathy, always, always the bridesmaid. You're going to get them next year. That's right. But she did it
with a busted up leg.
It was something to watch.
Big thanks to Ducey for running our board game.
We want to put a big shout out out there to KT Data and Hammond Chamberlain for all their work.
Good time.
These guys are crucial for what's going on around here.
I'd like to thank our wives, Tina and Kim, as well.
I mean, it sounds like a, you know, it's like a stereotype or a trope,
but they really are huge factors in our lives,
and I don't know that any of this happens without their support.
So a big thanks to them.
Barry and Bobby Ann for all the patio love and everything else.
That sounds gross.
It didn't sound right to say it, but thank you for the patio.
love.
And so much more.
They just do so much.
This year we had a mini
Marvel Snap tournament run by our own Claire Gack.
Congratulations to play.
And you're
going to hear them later. But a big shout out to James
and Svet who make this space possible
and they're going to be playing later. Can't wait
to see them play. Same Sex Mary,
bigups.
Now, every week,
On TMS, we have fabulous guests.
So now I move on to the thanking these people portion of the program.
Steven Schleiker couldn't be here, but we love him.
Bobby Frankenberger, he's here somewhere.
Bill Duran is in the house somewhere.
His lovely wife, Brittany.
We also have, of course, Amy again.
She's over there with Chuck.
Also with us, he has a regular colored beard.
I was wrong the whole time.
Travis Crawford, aka TV's Travis.
He's awesome.
You guys make Tuesdays great.
I know you're all alternating now,
but we really appreciate what you bring to the show on Tuesdays.
Dan Patrice couldn't be here,
but I know he's here in spirit.
He would have loved to be a part of the board games.
Tom Merritt, of course,
who had to leave a little early,
but big shout out to Tom for being part of it.
And only a few more.
Nicole Spag and Randy Jordan for Recommendals.
Big thanks to them.
Cool.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Brian, Mother F.N. Dunaway for being on the show.
We love that guy.
And last but not least, my sister Wendy in her fine therapy.
Oh, and one more.
She's at home watching.
She would have loved to have been here.
But Monica, aka Wicked Kitten, she couldn't be here.
But thanks to her, you guys are all orange.
That's right.
That's right.
So we're streaming this to the Discord.
I don't know how well it's coming through.
We'll find out later.
But for those listening there and anyone here or anywhere,
we're going to take this stuff when we get home
and post it to all the proper channels.
It'll be on YouTube,
and it'll have an audio version on the feed,
and it will be a very nice quality version of that
with KT Datas, fine filming and recording work,
and everybody else was helping in that regard.
So watch for that.
All right, a couple of quick things.
First of all, as you know,
there's a lot that goes into this thing every year, right?
We get ready for it, we do all the preparations for it.
We figure out what tickets are going to be.
We figure out what swag's going to be.
We'd drive it up here.
and big thanks to those folks that helped us bring some of that stuff up and all that.
But I am telling you right now, from the bottom of my guts,
there is no TMS Vegas without feet on the ground, Brian of it.
So big thanks to Brian.
Thank you.
Thank you.
a little quick things. A little show kind of adjacent things before we get to the real meat of
tonight, which is to see how our 2024 Taskville contestants did, myself included. I'm a little
nervous this year. You should be. I should be. I wanted to tell you story. Something that
happened, all right? Now, it's been a while, so I've had a weird story, but we had one on our way
here in St. George, Utah, which we always stop in, get a little food, the best, best Taco Bell
in the west. I don't know why.
But we stopped at a gas station
and I just needed to pee.
So I go into this gas station
and the minute I open the door,
it just opens up. And this guy goes,
Occupied!
He just yells it. I actually had to look around
and see who it was. I was like,
I haven't told Brian this story yet.
So I started looking around the place
and I didn't see anybody. I wasn't sure.
I saw two guys working,
maybe a couple guys milling around in the store.
So I just kept going towards
this bathroom door and the closer I got to it
Occupy! This guy yells again
just at the top of his lungs
I finally see it's a guy working there
and I said oh
there's someone in there right now he goes
Occupy
and for a hot second I'm like
I don't think he knows any other words
he was hired for one job
and he's doing it right now
I don't think that means what you think
at me yeah exactly
so I said oh I'll wait then
didn't answer, didn't say anything
I walked around the store
I was looking at chips or whatever
I wasn't going to buy anything
I just said I need this bathroom
lady comes out, here the door open
and I hear him go
unoccupied
so I went and used it
and I said thanks on my way out
you know what he said?
Occupine. Nothing
He had no
he was all out of words
he had nothing else to say
He said Occupy, Wall Street
Yeah. Also, the staff here is kind of amazing. We had somebody, I didn't witness this or see the
aftermath, but somebody got a little, who knows, you know, a little deep last night.
Overserved? There you go. And yacked all over the floor on the 16th floor near the elevators.
But my gosh, dude, the people here, they come in like out of the woodwork, towels, air blowers,
disinfectant, like just and then this like took care of it all, then took off. It was like,
like, you know what, like a, like an F1
car that pulls up into the pit
and they just go, oh, and then it takes off again.
That was
freaking amazing. Outside of that,
nothing too crazy this trip. It's not bad.
Yeah, things have been pretty smooth.
I mean, I'm, you're only on the
16th floor.
Yeah, Mr.
25, need a special key.
Need a special key, uh, yes.
Yeah, that worked out all right, though.
There's a snafu that kind of worked in my favor.
And yeah, the plaza took care of us
And didn't get the room I wanted
But I got the room I didn't know I wanted
So
100% though
There somebody has filmed a porn in that room before
Oh yeah, yeah
And it's not that it's not that
The room's not like specially set up for it
It's just I just have a feeling
The GoPro mounts in the ceiling
Is a little bit of the
Yeah
And now Brian is officially the second person
to film a...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Please visit my only fans page
and
videos of my feet.
I also thought...
Playing Marvel Snap.
That's right.
I thought it would be fun if we did a little
audience meme game, okay?
And for all those wondering if Scott's
going to do his third year in a row
gummy live on the show?
Not this year.
Do you don't want to know why? Some of you know why.
Why not?
Like two.
Is that you?
Is that supposed to be you?
It's my daughter Carter.
She just showed up with a puppet,
clearly built by the Robinsons, if I had to guess.
Here, you want to get in here and say anything?
Here, hold on.
No pressure or anything.
I was forced to do this.
Who forced you to do it?
That's actually the slogan of TMS Vegas 25.
TMS Vegas, I am forced to do this.
I'm forced to do this.
I like it.
Well, anyway, that sounds right to me.
Anyway, so, where was I going with that?
Oh, I'm not eating a gummy.
And the reason I'm not is because two days ago, or when we were doing the high roller.
You weren't doing the high roller
I didn't do the high roller
I stay at the bottom and watch other people do
that insane dumb thing
I don't like heights
I don't want to go up there
Let's wait a couple seconds to see about insane dumb things
Yeah yeah I just can't do it
So instead I did a very dumb thing
And I tried a what's it what is it again
Sitaiva
Sintiva
Indica and Sita
In the couch
Sinda
Sinda
Sinda
Send a car.
Send a car.
It's into house.
I took a Sinclair brand thing.
Anyway, I took a Sintiva thing.
Sintiva.
There's no end.
I keep saying it.
It's like the Hyundai Sintiva.
It does sound like a car.
Both of them do.
Endica is like a...
It's like a Hyundai or something.
It actually does.
Yeah, right.
The accurate Intica.
Accurate Intica.
And they make a hybrid.
Indica.
There's a hybrid.
both the weed brands and the cars have hybrids. So anyway, I tried one of those, and that was a
gigantic mistake. And I don't think it looked that bad to most of you, but those who were there,
I thought I was losing it, like losing it. So I decided that was it for this trip. I'm not doing
that for a while. Anyway, so that's why you're not getting that version of me tonight. But we are
going to do a thing real quick where I want to do a quick meme test with, you know, you guys.
The tip of the spear, TMS meme test.
Now, this is important.
It will go in your final grade.
All right.
So if you want to graduate from TMS school, be ready.
Now, I'm going to say the start of a sentence,
and I want to see how well everybody finishes my sentence.
All right?
You should all get all these.
They're not even that hard, but here they are.
I can totally see why.
Very good.
Easy start, right?
Oh, it is definitely, isn't it?
crap
all right
and I'm going to say these kind of deadpans
so they don't give anything away because sometimes tone
matters but how about this one
hey
is it too early to get a
how about this one
let's test the
shit strangers
wow
they're good
do dogs have brains because
This is like on the actual family feud
when they start showing the other answers
and the audience
and the longer the answer is
the more like
mish-blah-bub-bush-brah-rah-rah-rah.
All right, I got one more.
This is too easy.
These are all too easy.
The tender crisp.
Too easy.
You guys are way, way good.
It's on your list.
You got one, do it.
Honk.
Very well done.
Perfect.
Well, well done, everybody.
You passed.
So, passing grade.
Yep.
Now, Brian, we're going to play a little game with you.
Okay.
All right.
I'm thinking of ways of warming Brian up for Taskville today, right?
He's been working hard on this.
He couldn't talk much in the room when we were being filmed.
If you asked him a question, you would say everything you need to know is in the
rules. It's on the task. Yeah, it's on the thing.
Get better wax next year, by the way. That wax always
takes a huge piece of. It burns. It burns? Is that why it doesn't?
Yeah. Now, I know what you're saying, actually. It's the peeling the
paper off, or the peeling the wax off the paper. Always rips a hole
in one of the instructions. Yeah. My
shitty printer can't do anything cardstock over
20 pound paper. So.
Oh, well, that makes, that makes sense.
I'll deal with it. It will be fixed for next year.
Yeah. I'll 3D print the
buttons instead of wax, stamping them.
Well, there you go. See, we're already making
progress here. But this is to warm
you up a little bit. Little word association
TMS style. So I'm going to give you
a list of words. You're going to tell me the first thing
that comes to your mind. You have to be very fast.
Marvel.
Comics.
Crops.
Yeah.
Oh, I used to say it was just, now?
No.
Feud.
Family.
Cheetah.
Tiger.
He hasn't seen this and he couldn't have done that better.
That was exactly right.
Half-asses.
Dunaway, yeah.
That's good.
Yeah, I needed some of all, yeah, yeah.
Chat room.
Claire.
Claire.
We would have also accepted distracting.
Distracting.
Claire.
Vegas.
TMS.
TMS Vegas.
Very good.
Finally, recommendals.
I've moved Catwoman.
I hope Randy's listening.
Well, well done.
You also pass.
So everybody gets a passing grade.
Nice job.
All right.
Do you feel warmed up and ready for what's to come here?
Well, we still get.
We have to try some.
some chips. Oh, we got to do the chip thing. Totally forgot. So, uh, Mike Picholik, where are you?
Over there. He brought us some weird chips. Now, Mike, um, so we got this one right here. Can you see
which one, like this is the one, ask him if this is the one that, uh, he wants us to do.
Do you want us to do the rib-eye steak? Actually, you know what? You get to choose.
Ribby steak, terriarchy chicken, we assume from the photo, I don't know. And then there is also
ketchup flavored pringles in here.
The Canadians are rolling their eyes.
Like, we've had this for decades.
So you get to choose.
Which one do you think we should try?
Ribby steak. All right.
That's kind of what we thought too, right?
Now, what's cool about the ribby steak,
these are, they're both lays,
but these are made by PepsiCo in the States.
These are made in a far-off land.
Hold on.
shing shang road in the hui shu district in tannin city taiwan he's somewhere in the audience there he is right there
so here let's get a nice one oh 16th floor oh oh
do you like by the way do you like my do you like my uh marty mcfly hey talk

Oh yeah.
Give me some voice exercises.
Yeah, shout out to Scott as well.
Thanks for the great intro, Scott Fletcher.
Right here.
Gave you some other voice exercise.
I've been doing both.
I've been...
And your voice is back.
It's way better.
Yeah, way better.
You sounded like crap this morning.
I did.
I was...
Once there was this Peter.
All right, let's give this a shot.
See what I think.
Oh, that's funky, dude.
dude. No, it's awesome.
Is it? It is like, it is, I don't know if it's prime rib. No, you know what it is? It's
aus you. Oh, yeah. Now that you'd say it that way. Now I like it. It is.
Now I love it. If I would have said, oh, it's Al Jus.
Then I would hate it. Well done. Thank you for that. Very cool.
Incredibly kind-hearted dude. He's always given us stuff. We really, really appreciate it.
All right. Brian?
Yeah. It's time.
We're handing it over to you for taskville, taskmaster.
Is there anything else in front of us that we need to take care of?
Let's make sure we don't. I have nothing else in my notes.
What?
Can.
Who made this?
Oh my gosh, it's heavy and has corn in it.
Who made it?
I love this.
Do all of you know what this is?
no one's made me a version of can before if you'll notice there's an expiration date on it too
hold on it expired in 2019 that's the year I started the comic oh really yeah oh that's awesome
it was right before the pandemic did you guys know that Perry totally look at he's not in his head
he totally knew that that is my favorite thing and a very
long time. Thank you for that.
I absolutely
love that. Oh my gosh. All right.
Did not expect that. Thank you so much.
Is there, is there anything else on the table that we need to...
Oh, let's do this now. Do you want to do it now?
Let's do one now.
Okay.
We're going to do one now.
I was thinking we were going to pick them between the two
musical acts.
All right. I'll just tell you what we're going to
to do, and then that's a good idea. So during
the music acts tonight, between the two acts,
we're going to give away these
the clappers or whatever they're called.
We're going to give you the clap
from every podcaster.
Now, some of you already have the clap, and we know that.
We may have gotten it from you, I don't know, but
these are signed by everybody
involved in the filming
up there, so you've got me and Brian
and, let's see, Scott Fletcher, Amy.
All your contestants are on here.
And we'll give them away.
Did you sign this Hammond?
Okay, good.
Where is it?
I don't see Hammond on mine.
Well, we'll make sure.
Oh, there it is, yeah.
Oh, right there.
Yeah, yeah, I see it now.
Your signature is really hard to tell who it's from.
Anyway, between the songs, that's when we'll do that.
All right, Brian, now officially,
may Taskville wash over us like a warm morning pee.
Let's do it.
Excellent.
All right.
It's time for, I will bring the stage in a second.
Let's get to the intro lovingly put together by KT. Data.
Is this a
All right, please welcome to the stage.
Scott Johnson, Scott Fletcher, Amy Robinson, Wendy, Dunford, Bobby, Frankenberger,
and not Tom Merritt, unfortunately.
Oh, come have a seat.
sit together.
The ladies will be sharing a microphone and a chair.
Okay. Okay.
What looks like?
That's what we still missing?
Are we missing? Oh, you're supposed to be over there.
Oh, I'll go over there.
Actually, you want to stay over here? It's easier.
Oh, no, because Hammond needs to come over here.
So Hammond's coming here.
Hammond's coming here. I'm going over there.
And this is where I introduce Hammond.
A quick behind the scenes note,
I'm getting a lot of this stuff.
I get a lot of stuff while we were doing the show.
You saw people running up here giving me stuff.
I have not seen a lot of these videos.
so we're going to watch them together.
We're doing a lot.
Sting, we're playing Sting's playing us out.
I'm hyped.
All right.
Now, please, welcome to the stage.
My partner in crime, the cameraman, and extraordinary task,
comer-upper with?
Cammer-upor.
camera of her. Can you tell?
Mr. Hammond, Chamberlain, everybody.
You're safe.
So what do you think of this match?
It was fun. I'm glad we're to this point, though.
Question mark. You know, me too. Me too.
I'll lower that thing.
Is that what you're doing? No, just you can point it down.
Just couldn't hear you super well. I need to be able to hear you.
All right, you guys.
Well, let me ask Hammond, what did you guys think of this year?
Without giving anything away about the tasks, what did you guys think of this year?
Wendy, this is your first year, too.
Yeah, what did you think?
Doing all of it.
Brian's kind of mean.
She got it instantly.
It took Fletcher like two years.
So far, you're the mean one, though, which makes me feel really good.
You know what's interesting is that if you don't, if you haven't done it before or seen taskmaster,
or any game show where they do similar stuff.
It's really intimidating your first time.
Now that a lot of us have had two, three times,
it's like we expect a puzzle and then we got to do it or whatever.
But when you go in blind,
you're like, is Brian going to, like, put needles in my eye?
Yeah. I don't know what you're doing.
I was so afraid you're going to make us eat something horrible or whatever.
And, you know, so, like the first year that we did this.
Wait till Fear Factor.
That's the, once I run out of Taskmaster's stuff, I move over to.
Fearville.
Fearville.
What you guys know, because it's not on the video,
is that when we walk in, we're walking in by ourselves,
Tina brings us up in the elevator,
and we walk into the room, and she just says,
all right, go in.
Have fun.
She's so nice when she does this.
She is.
And you walk in, and there's a team of people
pointing cameras and microphones, and they're just staring at it.
And they don't say a word.
You cannot interact with them.
Like, you cannot even really acknowledge that they're there.
It is intimidating, is my point.
Yeah.
Hot lights.
We have a lot of lights on you guys this time.
The fun part is that you just, you end up mindlessly babbling and free associate,
so you get some free fairness out of it.
And you can do.
There's actually something I may be asking about.
You also forget the KT. Data's cool microphones are hanging on you the whole time.
Oh, those things are awesome.
And it does have a way the silence in there.
Sometimes they're hanging on you if you remember to put them.
them on. Oh, right. But it's always this feeling of
you forget that they're on there and you're saying really dumb stuff that you guys
will absolutely use against us. Yeah, yeah. We want you to say the dumb stuff.
The instructions say... Believe me. Dumb stuff is required.
Yeah. All right. Should we see the first task? Let's do it. Yeah, let's go.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, task number one.
This will actually play, right?
Well then.
Welcome, Tom.
Oh, hello.
Hello, hello.
Your hair, okay.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Welcome.
Hi.
We got a test for you.
for you.
I'm going to put my man purse down.
Please deal.
It's Merce in the Hammond.
How are you?
Good.
Good.
At a first and I do.
Where do you want?
Where do you want?
Over here?
Do you need a task?
Is that a Barb and George?
Hi.
Nice to meet you guys.
Hello.
Welcome, Bobby.
Thank you.
I have a task here for you.
As usual, it was expected.
I guess you just need to unseal this and read it, huh?
Sure, yeah.
But you know, I do like your style of checking everything over beforehand.
You know, making sure.
Using only one hand for the entire task.
Build the tallest stack of dice on the other table.
You may not touch.
the dice with any part of your body only with the items provided from this table.
You may only use one item at a time.
You may not move either, yeah, either table.
Well, you have 10 minutes.
I've learned over the years to carefully analyze the wording of all these things.
Yes.
Oh gosh.
Okay.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
See, can I touch one before?
With your fingers?
Uh-huh.
All the information is on the test.
Okay, fine.
The number of times they say that phrase.
There's usually like a linguistic loophole in here somewhere.
That's what I'm trying.
That's what I'm looking for.
But I think I'm just going to spend time doing the task instead.
Now, that's just cool.
Your time starts now.
Oh, man, I could have talked this out until tomorrow.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, so the task is you guys understand it.
Build, take those dice.
Using one hand for the whole task.
Get those dice transported to the other table.
There's as many as you wanted to use.
Build the tallest dice tower.
Yeah.
Now, Bobby, you came in.
You were like analyzing.
Well, I've learned in the past.
In fact, Mr. Scott Fletcher over here taught us all last year
that you really should pay attention to the specific wording of the task.
So I was, I mean, I said it.
I was looking for, what's the trick here?
Like, is there, can I, like, if I, you know, use, take my underwear off,
am I able to, you know, like, put it all in there and then, like, form it into a tower?
I don't know.
Only the items on that table.
And I realized my underwear wasn't on the table, so I put it back on.
Sorry.
Yes, Amy.
Well, okay, so you guys noticed there was a pair of tongs, an oven mitt.
Very stylish oven mitt, by the way, and a pair of chopsticks.
And one of the things, one of the notes in the note was that the pair of chopsticks counts as one item.
However, you were only allowed to use one hand, and the chopsticks were not broken apart.
I said the same thing.
it's an interesting thought I did not even see that is thinking outside the box I
I did not touch those topsticks because they were stick I would I allowed it so if you
broke them apart with two hands really using one hand for the whole task I guess
separating the chopsticks would be part of the task yeah it would be all right you could
use your teeth could use it what my teeth I didn't I tried the chopsticks and they were
terrible because the way that the
Imagine a dice, right?
They're weighted in a way,
especially six-sided dice.
If you try to grab it evenly, it swings down.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like if you don't have them perfectly centered,
they swing and they fall out.
There's nothing about a wooden pair of tooth bear of chopsticks
that hold them very well.
They don't grip.
And so it was just, what, what?
And I tried a bunch of that, as you know,
and it was mixed results as best I can say.
You know the feeling when you're listening to a conversation
and you realize that you missed a huge section.
Oh, really?
What did you miss?
Yeah, and then they start saying, yeah, and the chopsticks?
Did you mean now?
Did you not see the chopsticks?
No, I saw them, and I thought, well, that's irrelevant.
And now I'm thinking, oh, wait, maybe they weren't.
You guys were talking about the chopsticks a long time.
I just thought it was a trap because, you know, they weren't broken apart.
And in order to break them apart, I would have had to touch them.
with both hands. Yeah, it was more a matter, because
I would have even allowed, you know,
oh, I'm going to use the oven mitt with this hand, I'm going to put
the oven mitt back, and then use the
pair of tongues with the other hand. Totally fine with
that. But you guys, you know,
we all had different approaches. You all had
different approaches. Some more legal than others.
Some, yeah, as Hammond
says, some more legal than others. Shall we
watch... Yeah, I went.
Let's watch the
brother and sister combo of
Scott and Wendy perform their task.
Oh, gosh.
Your time starts now.
Okay.
I'll come back for you.
Here's me you guys don't know.
I use these all the time in my life.
But I got all this.
One hand only is said?
One hand only.
I don't know why I'm gravitating toward this.
I'm gravitating toward this first.
Because I bet.
Great mind.
Oh my gosh, dude.
Oh, this is so...
Let's just do this for now.
Oh, this is hilarious.
Oh, I just thought of something.
Oh, wow.
We could have used the paper.
This is stressful to be filmed.
Damn it.
I was nervous spelling my name.
Okay, I got this.
Okay, do you guys want to know
about the optimal level of distress
and cortisol to perform a task.
I have too much currently.
Okay, so then you breathe.
Deep breaths.
Okay.
Is Scott already done this?
It's been a lot of time in the kitchen, as you can see.
Look at you color coordinating it.
More than a purpose.
This is not...
This is architectural travesty here.
but I like the chaos of it.
How much time that I have?
Timers behind you.
What? I can't turn around. Someone tell me.
Eight minutes and full seconds.
Are we noticing I cheat a lot? Is that what's happening right now?
You don't cheat. You really just test the boundaries.
I do. I'm like, hey, who else is helping me out of this?
A little task.
Who does chopsticks?
That was good.
And that was really good.
Oh, my God.
You want to learn about a psychological term.
It's called scaffolding.
I don't know.
Everyone wants to hear me talk about psychology or not,
but scaffolding is where you build structures around someone
so that they can be sort of more successful
like my pile of dice here
these dice are cool
come on you turds
did Tom Merritt do this
I bet it was really organized
and Scott's look like a face
or something this would make my husband
crazy
he'd be like this
you have a chaotic mind
I'm like well
okay should I keep going higher
Pretty good.
All the information you need is on the test.
Oh, gosh, you're going to repeating things.
Okay.
Are you going to shake it?
What?
Okay.
How high do we go?
I have a theory.
So far it's going to real good.
I'm attempting to use your other hand.
Like a little kid playing soccer.
I got to grab the ball.
Okay.
I might call it after.
Okay.
Easy, chief.
Keep it together.
now, so let's do it with the thing.
This rope is to keep everything in?
Yeah.
Keep you from having to chase dice all over the floor with a pair of chopsticks.
It's in a way I'm kind of hanging myself with it.
You know what I mean?
You could do that too.
Because this isn't going great for me and
oh you bastards.
Alright, should I try one more?
You can't say anything.
Give me the ice.
Oh my gosh, that's so stupid.
Okay.
You hear me, I said I was stupid.
You are a braver soul than I.
Huh.
I don't have anything else to work with.
Sorry, it was too awesome.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Okay, that was the whole point. I can't touch my hands.
I can't touch my hands.
Ah!
Me!
Me!
Okay.
Is that right?
You guys just made the same noise?
Enough time?
Two.
Three minutes, 39 seconds.
Shit.
That's less than four.
That's less than four.
Where these dice from? They're cool.
Those are craps dice.
Oh, see? I know nothing.
I'll see that doesn't work.
This paper isn't count as an implement, does it?
All the information's on the task.
But it's two hands, two hands.
Okay.
I feel like my capacity is higher than my production.
Like, theoretically, I could do this better.
Oh, please not fall again.
What time in the?
I'm gonna wait till the very end.
Is that a bad idea?
So, okay.
I love how none of you are okay.
That doesn't mean good, I'm gonna do it anyway, okay.
Oh, no, stop it.
Okay, I got two more.
I can do this, I can do it.
I love that.
Oh my God.
Tana, I'm Margaret.
Should I be standing for another minute?
Okay, maybe I can do one more.
I'll do one more.
Overachiever.
That's so stupid.
Somebody measure it.
That's my sack.
All right.
You and your brother make a lot of the same noises when you...
What I noticed with Wendy is she kept moving the dice around like she was sauteing shrimp.
Yeah, I was cooking.
And at one point you're building like three towers.
Yeah.
Like you're making the Excalibur out of dice.
Scott, you figured out that the piece of paper was on the table.
I did.
and I also figured something out in the elevator after I left.
What's that?
I should have tried it at least.
You turn it into a, what do you call it, a cylinder.
Oh, turn the paper in this one hand.
Take the one hand, get your cylinder, put it down on a stack of dice.
I've seen this happen with cups and stuff, and you shake it really hard, and they all line up and stack,
and then I could have tried to do a big, long, skinny stack.
But I'm not sure it could have gotten the paper in that kind of cut.
condition, there was a hole in it from the wax, like
all of those factors probably would have been
a problem. The folds in it would have definitely been a problem.
Yeah, I'm so annoyed in myself.
How many hands did you
use on that paper? Well, in this
case, clearly I
used two without really realizing that I
had. I think in
my head I was going,
I'm picking it up like dog poo, right?
And I'm holding
it to keep it out of the way, and I'm picking
one up, and I'm thinking, oh, well, I'm just using this
hand to grab it, and I'm pulling this back. And so
my head, it's not ringing the bell, but clearly I'm too hand in it.
Well, we'll see. We'll see. Do you know how many
we had in each of those stacks? I don't. I do.
I do. There's a score on that. So, Scott had
11 on his stack. Of height.
Height, height. 11 dice high. Thank you. Reasonable.
It's not many.
Wendy had 15.
Twice. I had 15 twice.
Fifteen twice.
All right, let's see how Tom Merritt did.
Look at that. We get a smiling picture of Tom because of the video.
Your time starts.
That's right. There's Stacy.
Tallest.
All right.
I know this feels easy, which means I'm probably doing it wrong.
Could you lend me a hand for you?
I can't.
I feel so rude for not having said hello to everyone I walked in, so hi.
They've been instructed not to speak.
Yeah, I kind of got that.
So I'm not taking it personally.
Anything you say can be used against you by Brian later.
And Will on Wednesday night, yes.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
The most fun part of these kinds of things for you, the viewer,
is knowing what I'm doing wrong right now.
We second guess it the whole time.
How much did you count
on the uncomfortable silence
being entertaining for this task?
98% of the task is the uncomfortable silence.
I figured, yeah.
It's 2% dice stacking.
98% Guantanamo Bay.
Uh-huh.
Right.
He actually broke the circuit.
Thank you for recognizing it.
That's the tallest I'm going to do.
How much time do I have left?
Four minutes and 24 seconds.
So what should we talk about?
I like it.
It's got stairs steps.
I'm not much of an architect.
I don't always build things out of dice, but when I do, it's dos eckis.
I just want it to be clear that.
Even though it says to build the tallest of all, I just wanted to build something pleasing, and I hope you like it.
It is kind of a test when you have extra time of your ability.
of your ability to withstand the impulse to just...
I mean, that is why the rope is there, but...
It could go taller.
You're not wrong.
But it won't.
Oh, look, there's the time.
I asked you earlier, and I could have just looked right down there.
It's all right.
I'm happy to, happy to.
That's part of the task that I failed.
Happy to provide it.
This is a nice room.
It is.
I would say it's sweet.
Is that 15 seconds?
Is that where you want to stop?
That's where I want to stop.
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll call time.
Okay.
All right.
You know, Tom was committed to stopping at eight.
And so who are we to, we're certainly going to say,
you should go taller, but we're not going to say it.
So Tom stopped at eight, he was comfortable with that.
He was pleased.
He was pleased.
He was pleased with his eight.
It was actually more fun just talking with Tom for those four minutes
that he decided to stop building stuff with dice.
All right, let's see how Mr. Scott Fletcher did.
Okay, 10 minutes, it's 9.35.
I can do, there's probably no penalty for dropping anything.
I imagine this is what it's like for a thoracic surgeon.
They've done it just like this.
Just like this.
In a hotel room.
In fact, what is that bathtub?
full ice over there for is that if I win yeah yeah well that's if we win
you've seen my strategy already mm-hmm Tom Merritt's gonna build this
M or F for all the way to the ceiling one by one what's Fletcher gonna do the
attainable I hope there's a fast forward button then it's done right
Am I breaking any rules?
They've got to be disqualified.
Wait, is this what therapy feels like?
None of your questions are answered.
That's right.
Yeah, they just sit there with their notepad and...
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Everything you need is right in front of you.
It's been there all the time.
Keep going.
I've got six minutes.
I might...
I could probably rebuild.
if I if it knocks over but I can also stop that's about the fletcher's thing you could
do being the best does not always mean being the first what I think is going to be my
limit oh does it have to survive anything from people walking around just has to
Whatever, whatever standing at the end of the time minutes?
Let me reread the instructions again.
You guys.
Okay.
You got used to your prosthetic there.
Yeah, no.
I think I'm out.
I'm out.
Okay.
Smoke them if you got them, dude.
You both time?
Fair enough.
I mean, and you came in, like everybody else,
kind of expecting there'd be a twist and a trick.
Sometimes it's just a feat of strength.
Sometimes it's just carrying dice with a pair of tongues
and an oven mitt and chopsticks.
I'm still not sure it's over.
Well, I mean, we still have to see what Bobby did, what Amy did.
Okay.
I was going to sit here waiting for the surprise.
Very good. Thank you.
Yes. Anything else?
That was the first time I'd seen this, so I hadn't had a chance to write any more notes.
We didn't make you cry this year, though. That's good.
That's true.
I was expecting maybe a lump of clay again to repeat the process.
but I was convinced that my technique was so rudimentary
and so elementary school, which is great.
Hey, no offense, elementary kids.
All of them that are in the audience.
I see you.
You know who I'm talking to.
I was impressed with your kind of dedication to the task.
You're four at a time over and then stacking every four.
It never fell.
It never toppled.
grabbed and you built and you grabbed and you built
like four at a time. It was sturdy is
what it was. Inconsistent. Yeah, you should see me in the kitchen. Yeah.
I make a sturdy salad.
Everything's perfectly stacked.
Hey Wendy, is that scaffolding
what I just did there? That was perfect. Do you feel
good about yourself? Scott Fletcher.
I am a well put together young
gentleman. Absolutely.
All right, so how many did Scott Fletcher have? I have a
here. Oh, good, good. I'm glad you do
because I don't. Yeah. Scott
Fletcher had
14.
Chaos is winning.
That's right.
The Excalibur is so far in the lead.
And then as we saw Tom
said, eight, and I'm good.
All right, we got two more
to watch. It's Amy and Bobby. We're going to watch
the two of them together.
It weren't for the one.
item at a time thing. I had this all figured out until I got that sentence. Of course, yeah.
Because I was just going to open this and be like, but no, I can't do that. All right. Let's see.
Okay, so, so I could, I could, you know, put this on and pick, but that would be hard, but I'd be
able to probably carry more that way, but then I would drop them all. Um, chopsticks seem like a
really silly idea and how would I break them anyway with only one oh well you can you can like to
pull the chopsticks apart yeah yeah two hands and well I had dim sum with KT and crew just and I did
terrible with the chopsticks I was I was not having a good hands day it feels like so easy and
obvious to go with the tongue but I think that's what I'm going to have to do because I got to get to it
all right so one hand tallest the tallest
tallest tallest tallest stack of dice on the other table fine all the
information is on the task I love the the Jack and Sally
isn't that cool here we go
Oh my god, you see how shaky my hands are?
I give up already!
Oh, this is impossible.
Tallest stack of dice, you might be tempted to, but I can see how shaking my hands are,
so I'm not going to start, I'm going with a larger base from the beginning.
I'm not just going to keep stacking them straight up,
because I don't feel like re-stacking dice after they fall.
Let's just think I could get bigger than that?
Let's get some dice over there.
All right, I'm keeping this with me, because reading is fundamental.
Okay.
Yeah, that's right.
I like the one hand behind your back.
Yeah, well, that way I don't mess it up.
Because I assume there's a penalty if I do something.
I should have counted.
That would have been the smart thing to do because then I could have, you know, engineered.
like a nice wide base for it yeah i'll just start with that that's a good plan we'll build a nice
nice square foundation seems like a good idea so you want to start with the large base because
i might go with a wide tower all the way up but we'll see how i do with one because i've got i've got
what like seven minutes by now all right let's see oh all right I was telling Tina I was
watching the amazing race on the way over here I was like I felt like it was good
practice I like the holdernesses oh they're so funny and you know I was a fan of
theirs anyway and then so it was very satisfying to watch they are they seem like
like genuinely nice people to yeah right like they seem like they would fit in here but yeah it was
the way that they ended up winning was because like they're nerds okay these are those
these are these are these casino Vegas dice you know I've never actually seen any of
these before didn't I say I'm not allowed to touch the dice with my hands or did I make that up I know
I have probably literally interpreted these rules to my detriment and someone like the
clever Scott Fletcher has he probably figured out how to like use use like his take off his
shirt and truck them over or something I don't know so now I don't know I don't know I
want to play jango with it i mean for real though just get the dice over there this is
annoying oh god only with the items provided from this table meaning
So, okay.
See, because that's what killed me last year was I didn't read.
Right.
I know, I'm the book lady. I didn't freaking read.
You ever, am I, I found out recently I might be not be the only person who does this,
but you know when you like drop something, my instinct is to try to catch it with my foot.
And I think I heard someone say somewhere recently that they did that too.
and I thought I was the only one.
Okay, this is the tricky part.
I still have to use only one hand.
This is very clever, also very precarious.
I'm just going to use this like a plate.
All the dice road to me.
Electric.
Science.
Here, KT, you want to get a really good shot of how shaky my head.
hands are let you get in real close look at it I didn't even drink coffee this
morning all right so what's gonna start happening is the stability of this
tower is gonna not it's still two by two but each one of these is still only one
and it's gonna get tall enough where each one of these is gonna act as just one
and it's gonna end up falling so I'm gonna I think I'm gonna need to
to start going only like a one by two so that I can stack them like where they
connect right here so that they can hold the stuff below it together this is
right I take deep breath
hook on that's good that's good it's tilting
we want to see if I can fix that
Doop, do, do, do, do.
Okay.
I'm happy with this.
But you know what's going to happen is, there's going to be five seconds left and I'm going to knock this whole thing down and we'll have any time to...
Ah!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh my God.
Time's up.
Oh, shoo!
Okay, so what are the scores on those?
Wow.
Is this an indictment of soft sciences versus hard sciences?
It is, yes, exactly.
Amy, very good, 11.
Same as Scott.
But you used one hand the whole time.
kept the other one behind your back.
I did.
So that I wasn't tempted.
Yeah.
Bobby managed to stack
right up to the last second.
19 craps guys.
Thank you.
Did anyone else
notice anything else in the video?
Yeah.
Gary?
What?
They said you had to use the items, implements from the table.
And Kenton couldn't use your hand, and no touch your body.
From the table. Anybody else?
I noticed Hammond in the back looking weird at everybody.
Was that an intimidation factor?
The first day was my wife being judgmental.
The second day was me being judgment.
Yellow dishwashing glove taped to the back of the table.
From the table.
Are you kidding me?
Are you serious?
Nobody saw it.
Nobody saw it.
The only person they came close,
was Wendy because as soon as she opened her task, she threw it on the ground. And I was like,
if she needs to look at that task, like as soon as she picks it up, she's going to see the...
Actually, I thought Bobby was going to see it because he went down to get the dice too.
He did too, yeah. I thought one of you would see it. But that's all right.
You'll have to watch the replay on Patreon coming soon.
So you've got the scores?
Oh, scores, yes. Let's see the scores. All right, Bobby. In the lead.
Six points, followed by Wendy in fifth or second place with five points.
Scott, Amy, Tom.
Scott, I gave you one point even though you touched the paper with two hands and disqualifying yourself.
Fletcher's looks like a mugshot.
I know about those from last year.
I know.
I need to take new photos of you guys.
This is like from three years ago.
That Wendy photos from my nerdtacular back in 2015, I think that one.
Wendy, that's old.
That was last year out on the patio.
Oh, it looks older than that.
All right, let's get to the next task, because we've got to move forward here.
These, I'm seeing fresh for the first time, so I'm going to be discovering them as you do.
This was yours.
This is great.
So what I did was I found a bunch of old film clips online, shorter and down, removed all the audio, sent on to Brian.
Brian had a say in which one I used.
And so we picked this one that has a number of people walking around and talking, and we did it, and they had to create the sound.
track for the piece of film.
Absolutely. You guys
want to see how they did?
Yeah. All right.
Let's get to it.
Take only.
Take only.
Take only. Here's your task.
You have 10 minutes to create the audio track
for the film clip you are about to watch.
Once the 10 minutes is up,
you will record your audio track
as the clip plays.
You only get one shot at this.
Have fun and remember who you are
and what you stab.
my mom in here somewhere
geez
no pressure on that front
this camera looking right up my skirt
oh yeah that's pretty good
we have second character
madam cigar is this magazine part of anything
read the newspaper leave me a lot
oh and a couple
oh so sad
I lost my matrix pill
you may find when I do you stay out of my must
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And Sir Malcolm Cheese Nugget.
Yep.
All right, that's the video.
That's it.
Okay.
So we've got footsteps here.
We've got the train whistle.
We've got the that tracks.
We've got the newspaper.
Whatever freaking dialogue we come up with.
Oh, can we?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Let's do a run through.
And the timer's already going, though, right?
How long is the clip?
Okay, clip, clop.
Click, clop.
Here, I'll do this.
I'll do it.
Yeah, we can practice a little bit.
He's like, oh, hang it.
Sh!
Oh, my IUD.
I think you just cast yourself as borat.
No wonder I'm pregnant.
What do you say about this?
Oh, is that mine?
Thank you.
You know, hold on.
I'll be out here in the hallway looking for more.
I was wondering if your mustache is actually made of cheese.
What are you on?
We can use this too.
Oh, I'm smoking and reading the paper.
What?
Oh, honey, don't cry.
We'll get you another puppy.
I'll stop him.
Look, are you into, I don't know, experiments?
Oh, do you indulge him, please.
I have to lip on this, don't I?
All right.
All right, here is the actual video.
Now, it's this here on the floor here.
Some sort of unit deal.
I'm going to check in here.
Excuse me, what the hell is this doing out here?
Oh, that's mine. Thank you so much. Where did you find it?
Out here in the hallway.
That's interesting. I wonder if you'd be interested in what I have in my pocket.
Not a chance.
Well, no, hold on. Just let me show you what it is. It's very small.
It's right here.
It's a Matrix pill.
Take it, and it sends you to the red place.
Turn it upside down, and it does the same thing.
I believe I'll go to the drink, car.
But first, I must take a shit.
Goodbye. Good evening.
Yes?
What do you want?
Yes, I've got this other vitamin.
I'm here smoking and reading the paper.
Oh, well...
It's going to be all right.
We'll tell him about the puppy later. You didn't kill it.
Oh!
Grand Moth talking, I didn't know you were here.
I'm sorry, but you've got me mistaken for my brother.
Listen, I have called the upper bunk.
I wrote it down right here on this piece of paper.
That's bullshit. I'm taking the upper bunk.
We discussed the surface.
This is a piece of paper. You can't argue.
F off, Birdman.
Hold on.
I'll take care of this.
Look, we're into experiments.
What do you say?
I'm putting my luggage in the upper bin.
Oh, won't you be concerned?
I'll talk him into it, honey. Just hold on.
I know it's very weird.
He's got a sexy mustache and everything, just what we want it.
Ask how you want.
Still taking it, climbing it down.
Hold on. Before you get up there, let me come up there with you.
I'll show you.
I'm the white wizard. There's no trouble.
Well, I'm just going to stay down here until you boys figure out who's on top.
out, who's on top?
That was very good.
You had that great IUD line
and you ended up not using it.
I know it's weird because that was a practice run,
which I'm really glad you let us do.
and then I forgot what I called the
what I call it a unit thing
a unit thing
but I couldn't help
it was really hard for me to try not to
do Grand Moth Tarkin
and Sauron jokes because
these two, or Sauramon rather
hanging out together
just a weird thing and so it was very distracting
and it made me forget stuff but I think we did
pretty good you guys did really well
we did it right
All right, shall we take a look and see how the team of Fletcher, Dunford, and Frankenberger did?
Yes, yes, we should.
It's the law firm of.
Let's actually just enjoy this for a second.
This is the freeze frame that Ducey gave me, which is...
verbal essence commercial.
Let's get to the video.
Oh, yeah.
I just saw that.
You have 10 minutes to create the audio track
for the film clip you're about to watch.
I'm starting.
It's now.
All right.
This is the clip.
Right.
So.
Nice.
Nice.
Oh, I'm not talking.
I'm mentally communicating with you right now.
I'll make this chest piece
vanish before your eyes.
Oh, I'm sad
Excuse me
Oh, I'm wondering anything
Oh my gosh
Okay
So
You'll be watching it as many times as you like
All right
All right
I have questions
I have questions why there are two dudes
And one chick in the club club
Yeah
But
We need some more
Toki Toki Tookie Tiki Tiki Tiki Tick a
I don't know.
Maybe he's giving her a...
It's okay that I'm 40 years older than you.
Wait.
You said you were going to be done 30 minutes ago.
All right.
Anyway.
Jolly good.
I'm off the end up.
This is very hard.
Oh, what's this on the ground?
Is that a penny?
Oh, it's a chess piece.
I've been looking for chess pieces.
Just laying on the ground, it trades.
Oh, my lucky day, and I'm going in my room.
Queen four.
Oh, is this a chess piece?
Excuse me.
I'm trying to think about it.
Oh, yes, that's my chess piece.
I was wondering where it was.
Thank you.
Excellent, thank you.
Would you like to join me and talk about chess?
Not many people talk to me about chess.
Yes.
I really am desperate for someone to talk to me about it.
chess. I have another chess piece here for you
if you like it. I can see that. Yes, I like
Candy's strange. I'm just want someone to
you can see maybe you're not interested
but it is a nice chess piece. I guess
maybe, maybe yes. Yes, I want
a chess piece. No, I get
the feeling you're not going to talk to me.
Well, that was a disaster. I'm thinking to myself
because my lips aren't moving.
Oh, you're going to try this room, hello?
What the hell, I'm really...
I'm struggling, get out!
Hmm.
Oh, darling, you're so old.
I'm so young.
What?
Oh, excuse me, sir.
Yes, you're in my room.
What?
This is our room, sir.
I think you are in the wrong room.
I have a ticket here.
Tell me this is my room.
Would you like?
Where's your ticket?
Ah, yes.
I've looked in three rooms already.
Perhaps you should try a fourth.
Darling, I'll make him leave.
I want to cry.
Sweetie, I will attend to this.
That was heavy.
Sir, please, please, I fart in my sleep, but this won't work.
My magazine.
My special magazine.
You might want to leave now.
This is my private time.
He is quite a bit younger than Lawrence.
Maybe we can make this work.
Three of us.
Okay.
Chook, top.
I'm just going to bed now.
Good night.
Whatever.
I love you.
I don't know what I love you, Gendell.
That was great.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
I don't know why I said I love you.
You're like when you hang up the phone, love you.
It was like that.
That was the best.
Uh, what's the sound of pulling a chess piece off of a carpet?
RIP!
Okay.
How on earth would you score that?
Because I was there.
I have no idea.
I'm...
Wendy sold that thing for me with the...
I love you?
You're so old.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
So.
So.
I'm giving
five points to Team
2, four points for Team 1,
for each of the members of Team 1.
That's how I'm scoring it.
Oh, look, I've already put the scores
in the system because I made that decision
earlier and saved a little bit of time.
That means
it's time for the final task
of the day.
I am proud of what we
made, Scott.
That's right.
Yes.
Put it on 2B, see which one gets more views.
So Tina also in the Manila envelope.
Just give them the easels first, please.
Oh, it's this art.
It's art.
Yes, in front of each of them.
You guys are going to do a little bit of coloring, color by number,
or color by colors, because they actually say the colors.
this is what
well this is what your end result
is going to look like thank you very much
I did that today
nice well good okay
don't put the markers in front
grab those markers real quick
glasses first
so you gotta wear your special glasses
for coloring today
I went to the dark dinner
I'm ready
cool
and Tina inside the manila envelope
is oh somebody over there
inside the manila envelope is the task
just kidding
The dark dinner.
Oh, Hammond, could you jump over there?
There's a manila envelope over there that has the task in it, I hope.
That's what I'm doing.
Now I know what weird thing he ordered.
But you can't see the markers.
You can't, yeah.
It's the markers that are the problem.
Yeah, I'm Jesse Plymonds in Civil War.
Yeah, the same exact.
It really is the same exact ones that Jesse Plymonds wears in Civil War.
That's great.
What kind of patriot are you?
All right, who's going to read?
Wendy hasn't put the glasses on.
Wendy's going to read.
Yeah, we're going to be a challenge.
Honestly, this is terrible.
Last year with that lax.
Okay, I think I got it.
All right, read the following out loud.
Wearing your special artist glasses the entire time,
color the Las Vegas sign picture.
Okay, you guys made me paranoid about words.
You watch this with me.
Okay, with the provided colored markers,
Most accurately colored drawings, drawing wins.
You have 10 minutes.
Cool.
That's weird about that.
That's fine.
All right.
Push those glasses.
Put those glasses on.
Push them nice up and close.
It doesn't say that.
It just says we have to wear them.
I'm Taskmaster.
Push those glasses up on your eyes back.
I'll exercise my Greg Davies right.
Okay.
Okay.
Provide them the markers.
Can I layer my glasses so I can see?
This is so.
All right. Oh, I should have a timer, shouldn't I? Your time starts as soon as I open up my Apple device.
Are we allowed to take them off the easel? Oh, they don't come off the easel. They're taped on the easel for your protection.
Excellent. And pleasure. Oh, do they smell? They smell. Your time starts now.
Wait a minute. Yeah, yeah, that smells. Wendy's just going to sniff markers the whole time.
I think that's it?
This one is blueberry, no?
No?
Oh, I know this one.
Yeah, they don't have a smell.
Although I'm getting a little high, though.
So Hammond, how are you doing?
Good, how are you?
Good, good.
This is more fun to watch than I expected.
It kind of is.
Yes, exactly.
Because some of them actually get it.
Others don't.
It's like a dry French dip.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's the eels.
Although we were allowed to see what the colors were for the, oh, no, you're talking
about the ending clay.
Right.
We were supposed to memorize it, but the problem was the lights made it impossible to
see which colors were in the first place.
Scott, you can get as close as you want.
So Brian just decided to lean into that this year.
Winter green?
No, no?
No, okay.
No one's helping.
me.
And by the way, the sheets that they're working with, the lines actually connect.
You are currently winning.
From the red to the star, the yellow to the outline.
It just doesn't show up on here, but the colors actually do point to the right places.
I had to manually draw them because Office Max printed them too fine.
Does anyone have any childhood memories right now?
Eight minutes, but we could cut it shorter than you too.
Smells so good?
No, all right.
You talk in action.
I mean...
Hamon, what do you think of these chips, Hammond?
I think they taste like dry French dip.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
They're terrible.
But this, like, the au reju makes it wet French dip.
Well, moist French dip.
Moist French dip.
Oh, he said moist.
damp french dip
moist french dip is my air
cover band
bang s moist french dip
it goes along with a wet
scramble
by the way
showbot is available right now
I don't know if anybody has added any titles
except me
oh yeah
bang s that's right we are doing showbob for this
so if you do have show title ideas
where they go twitch
what
Showbott.
Oh, showbought.
Of course.
You don't have to be in chat to type of bang-ass.
Oh, frick, I can't tell.
Please be it.
Now, because...
I'm smelling them.
These are going to take a while to score.
They might.
We're going to bring same-sex Mary out at 9 o'clock.
They're going to perform for you.
We're going to score during that time,
and we're going to come out with the winner
and announce the winner between Same Six Mary and the Swank Bastards.
Got the name right?
And then give these out.
We're going to assume I got the name right.
Okay, cool.
I don't know, dude.
You're doing great.
It's doing terrible.
I think I got everything.
I'm not even sure.
got that. That is
from Rye Frye. It is a little model
of Rye Frye.
Oh.
That's as good as it's going to get.
Yeah, I'm like, I don't remember
which places I've hit already.
You don't care if it's, like, perfect.
No, staying within the lines is not important.
Just as long as we're putting colors in the right.
The right color and the right spot is what's important.
Oh, oh, I didn't know that.
I mean, I'm not going to, like, judge if you go outside the lines.
this is where he's kind
because I would have said
neatness counts
I know what that is
well I had to be nice after that hole
push the glasses up on your face then
oh yes
yes
oh yeah probably right
or yeah or have somebody behind us
like with a camera
I'm not gonna do this task again next year
Bobby Ann
if we're done can we rotate
ours oh yes please do
if you're done you can rotate
Ooh
I don't know how to take that
Oh can we take these off?
You can take them off now
But you can't look at your art
Once you've taken off your glasses
And rotated your
Damn it
That's crazy
That these do that
You guys get to keep those glasses, by the way
You can drive home with them, Scott
Oh, that did not work out
Is that the one thing Scott and I have in common is I hate driving too?
My wife drives me everywhere.
This is how I don't mind driving.
She just hates how I drive.
Oh, well.
I like driving.
I hate driving.
Well, I like driving 30 minutes or less.
This is how that gummy felt, by the way, what I see.
Well, it's nice that you look at the world through rose-colored glasses, Scott.
That's a good thing.
Are you going to have a gummy?
You have a gummy?
two minutes left
oh my god
it's really four
you
hey I'm smoking here
I'm smoking here
how did you come up with that voice
by the way for that woman
so when my daughter
if you can answer that while you
yeah oh absolutely
yeah no talking actually helps me
so when my daughter was younger
and she'd come down with, you know, she'd come down with, you know, strap or whatever,
and she'd get a hoarse little voice.
She would sound like a gruff old lady, and so we would like, you know,
my daughter's like six, and we're telling her stuff like,
hey, bring me my cigarettes, you know,
because it was funny to have a six-year-old saying something ridiculous like that.
And I said, maybe that's not the best idea,
because then she's going to go back to her dad's house and say crap like that,
and I'll get in trouble.
So then we came up with it.
bring me the newspaper.
So there you go.
I do like the fact that both of them
came up with her being exceedingly grumpy and rude, though.
Yeah, they did. They both, well, I mean,
you look at her and that's not a woman that's saying.
Independently, groping, and rude. Oh, hello. Welcome to my
cabin. But she's sitting there
smoking, reading the paper and, like, doesn't even
wait for him to read before she puts the paper
back over her face. So she was basically, like, go away.
What is that? So Christopher Lee.
Yes. And Graham Mark. And,
Peter Cushing. Yeah.
What's the name of the movie?
Terror Express.
I've seen this entire film.
Horror Express.
Yeah.
I've seen the whole movie and kind of recently,
and I don't remember what for.
It may have been Adventure Club or something,
but I watched it.
And it's great and terrible.
Yeah, it is.
It's the perfectly best, worst movie ever.
Yeah.
I kind of wish we would have waited for Film Sack.
It fits.
Yeah.
We could wait a couple of years.
Yeah, we can wait.
I'll forget all about it.
We can use this again.
Except this scene.
I'll remember this scene.
You'll remember this scene.
it is slightly
it is slightly edited from the original film
trims the things out like the Gordon's
making like ocean waves
I think is it blue
I don't know I can't tell
well how much time I got
I'm switching color
now you really do have two minutes start
wrapping up
get those last little bits in
all three players are smelling
their markers furiously
every one of them's going to have got
these are the same
Oh, God.
Hey, yeah, you can't look.
He's got his glasses on.
He can look because he's got his glasses on.
That one's black.
Okay.
Yeah, I still wear it.
Oh, yeah, there we go.
They're kind of chilling me out.
I like them.
The markers, the marker smell is chilling you out?
No, the glass.
Oh, yeah.
I freaking just put licorish marker all over my nose, y'all.
Y'all, like.
Y'all?
What the hell?
Okay.
Let's talk about y'all.
I mean, seriously, y'all is
absolutely the best.
Y'all got some of that licorice marker for me.
Shut up.
Y'all got it.
I'm here to, like, de-sothernize y'all
because it is the best.
My wife's from Mississippi.
She's sitting right there.
She loves it.
She's there.
She says y'all sometimes.
It is a non-gendered second-person plural pronoun.
It is, like, it's perfect.
And how do you spell it?
Is it why apostrophe?
Y-A-L-L-I-A-A-A-L.
My grandmother used to spell it Y-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-L.
That is incorrect.
That is incorrect.
You all.
If you put it in your Twitter bio that my pronouns are y'all, you're going to get heat.
Yeah.
No one likes that.
One quick thing.
Scott, both Scots, flip that around, grab a marker and put your name on it.
Put your glasses on first.
He's got them on.
I can't tell you where...
I'll use glallow.
And the rest of you, make sure you put your names on your...
Please sign your work.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
30 seconds.
For reals.
I like Bobby Gwinter, you're really taking that seriously.
Did somebody just make fun of my rank?
Well...
All right, we're supposed to turn it around.
All right, when you're done, flip it around.
Yeah.
Or, ladies and gentlemen,
How about a big hand for your Taskville team?
Bobby Frankenberger, Wendy Dunford, Amy Robinson, Scott Johnson, and Mr. Scott Fletcher.
All right, we're going to wrap this up.
Same Sixth century is going to be coming out.
They're fantastic, as you know.
Big thanks to James and Svet.
We're going to score these in the meantime.
We're going to come back and award a winner with something very special
between the 2x
so make sure you stick around
and one more big hand for
Taskville
and the patience
good job Brian and team
good job
oh my God
yeah
and Mary Lucy and KT
data for getting me these videos
you guys rock
all right
yeah Ducey kept me from crying
in a corner earlier tonight
so I really appreciate that
all right
We should move. We have to move, right? We're moving. Yeah, we're moving.
We're moving. And we're walking.
All right, with a score, with a score with a score of a piece.
Okay, so let's look for the bottom here.
Scott Fletcher with 11 points.
Tied with Scott Johnson with 11 points.
One up from them.
Wendy Dunford.
What not from her?
Amy Robinson.
By the way, the scores were within four points
each other, I should say.
Tom Barrett still had what the name was at.
Six.
Oh, that's fucking time.
And finally, you might be,
a little spoiler alert from the back of this thing,
with four correct colors, but
really like orange comedians and shit.
Mr. Bobby Frankenberger.
Congratulations.
I wish I could say you one song.
And you did.
One and I.
Go ahead.
Robin.
Bobby.
Bobby.
Bobby.
Joey.
Thank you for the Mr. Bobby.
Mr. Bobby.
One more time on behalf of me and Scott. We love you guys.
Thank you guys all again for being here.
And speaking part of this year, we had a really good time.
Maybe my favorite.
Shout out to George and Barb, because I forgot to point it out earlier.
Amen.
