- [Kaylin] Sorry y'all,
but I'm supposed to take your phones.
I won't make any long distance calls, I promise.
- Okay, all right.
- [Sam] Get ready for a "Game Changer."
Tonight's guests:
taking another bite at the show,
it's Michael Trapp.
- Hey!
- [Sam] Am I seeing "Um, Actually" host double?
It's Ify Nwadiwe.
- What's up?
- [Sam] And the one appearance wasn't enough
for Siobhan Thompson.
And your host, me,
I've been here the whole time.
This, microphone doesn't wanna close,
this is "Game Changer,"
the only game show where the game changes every show.
I am your host, Sam Reich.
I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand how the game works?
- No, not at all.
- Not even a little bit.
- That's right,
our players have no idea
what game it is they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing,
the only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
Players, hands on your buzzers, please.
Which chemical element has the atomic number 87?
(buzzer buzzes)
Ify
- Plutonium.
- That is incorrect, Ify.
(buzzer buzzes)
Siobhan.
- Tin.
- Tin is incorrect as well, Siobhan, good guess.
(buzzer buzzes)
Trapp.
- Argon.
- Incorrect across the board.
The answer I was looking for is Francium.
- Of course. - Francium.
- Francium, that was gonna be my other option.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sacre bleu.
- That's what they say when they discover Francium.
- Yeah yeah.
- Players,
what is the capital of Burkina Faso?
(buzzer buzzes)
Trapp. - Burkina City?
- Educated guess, Trapp, and I like that.
- I think it's a very uneducated guess.
- The answer I was looking for is Ouagadougou.
- It was on the tip of my tongue.
- Ouagadougou.
- Next up,
who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1970?
- Oh, this is all you, Siobhan.
- 1970... - You love books.
- Ah, ah, ah, nope, I have no idea.
(buzzer buzzes)
- Truman Capote.
- Oh, great guess.
- The answer I was looking for was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
- Oh, yes, of course! - That was my second guess.
- Players, hands on your buzzers.
What is this color's HTML color code?
(buzzer buzzes) - Yes, Ify.
- 8 7 2...
(buzzer buzzes) - Siobhan.
- D2CD14
- That is incorrect, Siobhan,
but I love where your head's at!
Sorry, players, nothing correct so far.
Bunch of goose eggs.
Hang in there.
I think you're gonna get this next one.
Hands on buzzers, please.
Name a Keanu Reeves movie, no repeats.
(buzzer buzzes) Ify.
- Well, you know I'm gonna kick things off with "Speed."
- "Speed" is a good answer.
That point goes to Ify.
Next up, players solve this equation.
(buzzer buzzes) - Siobhan.
- X equals eight.
- That is correct, Siobhan!
Good on you, a point- - I didn't trust that.
- I was like, this is easy, right?
This seems really easy.
- Next up, let's play.
Mike Trapp, I've come up with a game just for you, okay?
- Great.
- We're now in a side scroller video game.
(8-bit Game Changer theme)
- Trapp, left or right?
- Let's go left.
Let's go left again, always left
- [Siobhan] Oh no!
- You fell into a hole and died, Trapp, so sorry.
- What is going on?
- Next up, Count the Beans.
Ash, could I have the beans, please?
Players, the one to guess the closest
to the correct number of beans in this jar wins the point.
Trapp, I'll start with you.
What do you think it is?
- 352.
- Ify, what about you?
- 671.
- Siobhan, what about you?
- I'm gonna go for a round 1,500.
- That point in particular goes to Siobhan.
Another point on the board for Siobhan,
bringing Siobhan to two, congratulations.
- What was the answer?
What was the answer?
- Moving right along, - Goddamn.
Players, gimme a duck.
(buzzer buzzes) Mallard.
Thank you, players.
I'm gonna say that's a point for each of you,
putting you on the board, Trapp, congratulations.
- Finally. - Yeah.
(whistle blows) (elegant violin music)
Random podium inspection!
- I'm sorry?
- Random podium inspection.
- I didn't know we were due for a podium inspection-
- Well, if you knew it, it wouldn't be random would it, Sam?
Hello. - Hi.
- Clean as a whistle. - Thank you.
- Clean as a whistle.
- Okay, nice.
- Clean as a whistle.
Well done, all of you.
A point across the board!
- Wow. - Great, fantastic.
- Well done, players.
- I have like four theories in my head of what's going on
and I can't confirm any of them yet.
So I'm just like holding four separate realities.
- Yeah, we are fully entering the multiverse.
- Players, inside your drawers
you will each find envelopes full of cash.
I am gonna come around and ask each of you
to bribe me with an amount of money inside that envelope.
The player to bribe me with the most money wins the point.
But be warned, that is all the money you'll have
the whole game.
(mellow instrumental music)
- So, like a really nice table would be great
if we could sit outdoors, next to a heat lamp.
How much money do we have here, lemme see.
- A lousy $7, a lousy $5, and a lousy $9.
Thank you, Trapp, that point goes to you
bringing you to three.
Players, Point or Box?
(buzzer buzzes) - Box.
I'll actually collect an answer from all of you.
- Point. - Box.
- Ash, if I could have two boxes
and we can give one point to Siobhan,
bringing Siobhan to five.
- Thank you.
- Are they gonna stand on those?
- I guess it's up to them.
(dramatic discordant music)
- Jesus.
- Hi, kids!
- It's Roscoe the creepy clown.
Roscoe, everybody here is almost 40,
what's with the balloons?
- I heard you were playing a game.
I love games.
Inside one of my balloons is a special prize.
Can you pop the right one?
- You heard Roscoe, players,
each of you gets to pop one balloon.
- All right. - And one balloon only.
(balloon pops)
- Pop it like it's hot!
- Nothing, nothing.
You have a much better chance than I did.
- Yes, but you were going with your eyes.
I'm going with my heart.
(balloon pops)
- Snap, crackle, pop.
- Oh god.
- And moving along to Trapp.
- Good luck, good luck, I believe in you.
- Roscoe, where's the balloon?
What's the right balloon?
- I don't know, but you've got a nice pair of poppers.
- All right, okay. (balloon pops)
- Now that's what I call pop and lock.
- Thanks very much.
Roscoe, get out of here, you creepy, creepy clown.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
- I'm gonna stand on mine just to screw with the continuity.
- [Ify] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Wow, I feel so small.
- Players, would you fix my contraption, please.
I should add, players,
there is a means of fixing this contraption
without touching it.
- What about this little lever right here?
Down, down, this one.
Turn on.
Do I have to kiss it?
- That'd be touching- - You're absolutely right.
- Ash, I don't think any of our players
knows how to fix this contraption.
- [Siobhan] No.
- Sam, if I could make a suggestion?
- Yeah, of course.
There's a YouTuber I trust for stuff like this,
FixItMan78.
- FixItMan78, you say?
- Yeah, I'm a member of the hashtag #FixItMan Fan Fam.
- Thanks very much for that advice, I appreciate it.
- [Ify] Is that why you took our phones away?
- Oh no, not this guy.
- Grant O'Brien!
Grant was originally supposed to play this role,
but he got COVID, so we asked for Zac to sub in
as Grant O'Brien. - Great.
- What are you doing here with a big bowl of spaghetti?
- Oh, this is just a light snack.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
No, the guy's gonna inspect our things
and then we're gonna get in trouble.
- Don't!
- Wait, no, Grant was built for this role.
- Well, why with a spoon?
- Oh, all the forks were dirty.
- No, no.
- Stop spilling spaghetti
all over my players' podiums, Grant.
- But I have to carbo load.
I'm running a marathon tomorrow.
- A marathon? - A marathon?
- A marathon of Turner Classic movies.
Did you know that in "Ben Hur"
that you had 15,000 Roman extras?
- The only Roman I want from you, Grant,
is off this stage.
- Good one, Sam.
- [Siobhan] Why you kicking it to my side?
- Grant O'Brien, out.
- [Siobhan] You're gonna get me in trouble!
- Clean as a whistle.
- Next up, players,

Oh, oh, Kevin.
- [Kevin] Oh, yikes.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Are you okay? - I'm totally fine.
- I don't care about the equipment.
- Yeah, I think we might just need to take that again.
I'm so sorry, Mark.
- [Mark] No, it's okay.
Kevin, how much time?
- Two minutes, two minutes.
- [Mark] Hey everybody, we're on hold real quick.
Okay, yeah, players, if you could just reset
wherever we left off. Thank you so much.
- [Ify] Okay.
- Was that a very expensive camera?
- [Mark] Yep.
- Here are your phones back. - [Sam] It's on me.
- I don't know whose is whose.
- [Mark] Okay, everybody, thanks so much.
- [Ify] Was it Fix-it Rob?
- [Siobhan] Fuck.
- Fix-it Fam? - Fan.
- [Ify] I need it.
- [Mark] All right, everybody quick camera adjustment-
(static whirring)
(tape rewinding)
- [Kaylin] Sorry y'all,
but I'm supposed to take your phones.
I won't make any long distance calls, I promise.
- Okay, all right.

Tonight's guests:
taking another bite at the show,
it's Michael Trapp.
(Trapp singing)
Am I seeing "Um, Actually" host double?
It's Ify Nwadiwe.
(Ify singing)
And one appearance wasn't enough
for Siobhan Thompson.
- I've been there the whole time.
- And your host, me,
I've been here the whole time.
This, microphone doesn't wanna close,
this is "Game Changer,"
the only game show where the game changes every show.
I am your host, Sam Reich.
I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand how the game works?
- Possibly.
- Yeah. - Still very confused.
- That's right,
our players have no idea
what game it is they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing,
the only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
Players, hands on your buzzers, please.
Which chemical element-
(buzzers buzz) - Francium.
- That is correct.
That is one point for Mike Trapp, bravo!
Next up-
(buzzers buzzing) - Ouagadougou.
- Ouagadougou is correct, Trapp.
- Quick question, do you have ADHD?
'Cause if you don't there's-
- He's the least ADHD person who's ever been built.
Me and Ify are disabled in this game.
- Next up.
Who won the Nobel Prize-
(buzzer buzzes) - Aleksandr Solzenichin.
- One more time, Siobhan.
- Aleksandr Solzenichin?
- That is so close.
Ify. - Aleksandr Sockinich.
- That is less close.
(buzzer buzzes) Trapp.
- Aleksandr Solzanichen.
- That is not true.
- But I was very confident when I said it.
Does that count for anything?
- You said it so confidently that I was like, fuck.
- Solzhenitsyn.
- Goddamn.
- If I were at a cocktail party with him and I said that,
he'd let it slide.
- That's how we pronounce it in England.
- Okay.
- Next up.
What is this color's HTML code?
- You never told us this one.
(buzzer buzzes) Ify.
- D299G30.
- Close, Ify, but no cigar, I'm afraid.
(buzzer buzzes)
- I'm slightly colorblind.
I saw the thing-
- You know what, the game regains its balance.
- Yeah. - Okay, good, great.
- Good, good, B1000.
- Way off. - All right.
- Name a Keanu Reeves movie, no repeats.
- "The Matrix."
- That is a point for you.
Solve this equation.
(buzzer buzzes) - Trapp.
- Eight.
- That is correct, Trapp
Next up.
Ify, I've created a game just for you.
- Eat shit, Mike.
- Hey.
(all laughing)
- Here we go.
(cheesy electronic music)
- Left,
right. - Right it is.
- Let's do right again.
Left.
Let's go right again.
Left again.
- [Siobhan] Oh, oh.
- Oh, Ify, you get a really bad paper cut and die.
But that was an excellent run.
- Good run, yeah. - Good run.
- Players, it's time to Count the Beans.
Ash, if I could have the bean please.
Trapp, I'll start with you.
- 1,265.
- Ify, what about you?
- 1,501.
- And Siobhan.
- 1,650.
- You asshole.
- That point goes to Siobhan.
- Oh my god!
- Counting!
- Players, Gimme a Duck.
No, these are mine that I already have.
(buzzer buzzes) - Mallard.
- That's good, Trapp.
Oh, I like Siobhan's thinking.
Thank you, Siobhan.
- It's crying 'cause it's really sad.
- [Sam] This is adorable.
- This one says "quack!"
- It's how you know it's not some other kind of water fowl.
- This one has nice detail.
Great job, kindergarten class.
That's no points for any of you.
- What? Come on.
(whistle blows) (elegant violin music)
- Random podium inspection!
- [Sam] I'm sorry?
- Random podium inspection.
- I didn't know we were due for a podium inspection.
- If you knew it wouldn't be random would it, Sam?
Let's see here.
- [Sam] It's a good question, podium inspector.
I actually think Siobhan's looks pretty good.
- Clean as a whistle.
Now that crosses the line, I think.
Sam, those two podiums are absolutely slathered
in spaghetti and its meated balls.
Only one point for Siobhan.
- [Ify] Wow.
- Congratulations, Siobhan.
- I don't think that this is a part of the podium.
That's the the front lawn of the podium.
- I'm gonna come around to each of you
and ask for you to bribe me.
But be warned, that is all the money you'll get
for the whole game.
- So I'd love to build a luxury residential building
in an area that's zoned
for accommodation that's like, affordable.
- Fifth round.
Make it look good.
- Oh shit.
- Just make it clean and not too painful.
- Goddamn it.
- 10 from Trapp, 15 from Ify, 18 from Siobhan.
So it goes to Siobhan, - Wow.
- Giving Siobhan eight points.
Next up, players,
Point or Box?
Siobhan, I'll start with you.
- I'll take a point.
- [Sam] Point for Siobhan, Ify?
- I got a box strategy.
- I don't have a box strategy.
Let's try a point.
- Ash, if I could have one box for Ify please.
Thank you so much, Ash.
- Thank you.
(dramatic, discordant music)
- Yes.
(Sam laughing)
- Oh no, it's Roscoe, the creepy clown!
- Hi, kids.
- Roscoe, everybody here's almost 40.
What's with the balloons?
- I hear you're playing a game.
I love games.
- You heard Roscoe, players, one at a time
can you pop the right balloon?
(balloon pops)
- Pop goes the weasel.
- [Sam] Be careful with it, it is sharp.
- Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, you don't know what's going pop.
People should be afraid.
(balloon pops)
- Pop goes the weasel.
- I don't know who was creepiest in that round,
Ify or the clown.
Mike Trapp.
(balloon pops)
- Pop it like it's hot.
- All right, that is no prize for anyone,
I'm afraid, players.
Roscoe, get off my stage, you creepy clown.
- Bye-bye now.
(sinister music)
- [Sam] Oh, that walk, it's the worst.
- It's awful, it's truly revolting
- Players, would you fix my contraption?
Ash, thank you so much.
- Ash, can you remind us, please, of the YouTube?
- FixItMan78.
- FixItMan78, you say?
- [Siobhan] FixItMan Fan Fam.
- Next up, - Hi, everyone!
- Oh god, Grant. - No, no, no, no, no.
(all laughing)
- Grant, what are ya doing out here
with a big bowl of spaghetti?
- Well, I'm carbo loading.
I'm running a marathon tomorrow.
- A marathon?
- A marathon of Turner Classic Movies.
Did you know that in Casablanca,
the line "Play it again, Sam" is never spoken.
- I wish you would never speak again.
Get off my stage, Grant.
- Good one, Sam.
Grant O'Brien out!

Oh, sorry, I'm so sorry, Kevin.
- [Kevin] Oh, yikes.
- Are you okay?
I don't care about the equipment.
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Next time there's ducks, those ducks up there,
us two get it, we block Trapp out.
- Okay.

- Okay, all right.
- [Sam] Ready for a "Game Changer."
Tonight's guests:
taking another bite at the show,
it's Michael Trapp.
- Hello, Sam, we meet again.
- [Sam] Am I seeing "Um, Actually" host double?
It's Ify Nwadiwe.
- I don't like that that is a um,
a foreshadowing.
- [Sam] And the one appearance wasn't enough
for Siobhan Thompson.
- By the end of this I will know how to play the piano.
- And your host, me,
I've been here the whole time.
This, microphone doesn't wanna close,
this is "Game Changer,"
the only game show where the game changes every show.
I am your host, Sam Reich.
I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand how the game works?
- Yeah we do. - Yeah, a little bit.
- That's right, our players have no idea
what game it is they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing,
the only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
(Sam laughing)
Players, hands on your buzzers, please.
What- (buzzers buzz)
Trapp. - Francium.
Ouagadougou, Aleksandr Solzhenitsa.
- No, Aleksandr, no, I'm not gonna say it before.
- I will take the first part of that answer, Trapp,
and that is a point for you. - All right, fine.
- Next up, what-
(buzzers buzzing) - Damnit.
- Ouagadougou.
- Ouagadougou is correct, Siobhan.
Next up, who won- (buzzers buzzing)
- [Sam] Siobhan.
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
- I will give it to you., Siobhan, that is a point for you.
bringing you to 11. - Thank you.
- Next up. (buzzers buzzing)
Ify.
- Okay, D2993D.
- That is correct, Ify,
- D2993D. - And that is a point for you.
Next up- (buzzers buzzing)
- Ify.
- "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."
- That is correct, another point on the board.
- By the time you to click, it's gonna be too late.
- I know.
- Next up,
Solve this equation. (buzzers buzzing)
- Whoa!
Almost got me.
Okay, I'm gonna say eight.
- Eight is incorrect.
(buzzers buzzing)
What is it, Trapp?
- Six. - Six is correct.
- How did you know?
- Because we know that X-
- Because we know that X equals eight from the last round.
- And Y equals X minus two.
- Next up, Siobhan,
I have a game- - Just for me?
- Designed specifically for you.
- I feel like that's a lie
'cause these two guys already played it.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Okay.
- Left or right? - Right.
- Sorry, Siobhan.
- Well, at least it was over quickly.
- Let's play Count the Beans.
Ash, if I could have the beans out here please.
Siobhan, we'll start with you.
- 1750.
- 2000 beans.
- 2001.
- You son of a bitch.
- That point goes to Trapp,
bringing his total to 11. (Ify shouting)
Players, Gimme a Duck.
Oh, Trapp, all right.
I, I'm afraid that there's a-
- Oh, you're like, "out of the box thinking"
on a "Game Changer?"
- There is a very specific game mechanic in mind
that we have to-
- Yeah, you want us to stack up the boxes.
- [Siobhan] Yeah, you want us to get fucking boxes.
- But guess what, I've got a fucking ladder
and it's way taller.
- It needs to be, it needs be enough boxes
to be able to do it safely.
- Okay, we'll see.
We'll see.
Oh, you-
- Ify, if I give you a box,
will you pull a duck down for me?
- Yeah, let's get the shenanigan-
- Goddamn it.
- [Ify] Commerce!
- [Siobhan] Ify, will you get me a duck
just to stick it to the man?
- Do you have a box?
- [Siobhan] No, I took points.
- I only deal in boxes, I'm sorry.
This is a box business.
Here you go.
- That was a brutal negotiation.
- To be clear, I have more points than you.
- It's all right, It's all coming up ducks.
- That is going to be a point for Ify
and a point for Trapp.
- Pleasure doing business with you.
- I'm sorry, Siobhan. - No, it's fine.
(whistle blows) (elegant violin music)
- Random podium inspection!
- Did you see this guy's podium?
- Sam!
I'll come back to you.
Dirtier than a dirty diaper.
Oh, oh, oh!
Dirtier than my college dorm room.
Mr. Trapp!
- I thought maybe the key was in the,
you take the magnifying glass?
- Sam-
- Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Excuse me, sir, excuse me, sir.
- Sam.
It seems that there's only one person here
who has a clean podium, including yourself.
- Point for Siobhan.
- Wow!
Incredible!
Bringing Siobhan to 12!
Players, next up, you've got envelopes inside your,
and I'm gonna ask for a, and you can give me,
but be warned that you have,
- If you could just not check the inside
of the baby dolls that I'm importing from Columbia
I would appreciate it.
- Smoking is good for you.
- Oh my god, you're the tobacco industry?
- Don't spend it all in one place.
- You got it.
That is $3 from Siobhan,
$16 from Ify and from Mike Trapp,
an IOU for $50.
- I believe that will go to Ify.
- Come on. - All right.
- Point or Box?
- Point.
- I think with my partnership Ima go point as well.
- That is gonna be points across the board.
Meaning, no-
(dramatic discordant music)
- Yeah. - This fucking guy.
- I heard y'all playing a game.
I love games.
- Hey Roscoe, can you
tell me which one is the right one?
(Sam laughing)
- You're a poppin' fun person.
- [Siobhan] So that's a no, okay, okay.
It was worth trying.
(balloon popping)
- Pop goes the weasel.
- You're going to be- (balloon popping)
(Roscoe laughing)
- Nice poppers.
- All right. - All right.
- Okay.
(Roscoe hoots)
- What's that noise?
- I notice you didn't say I'm a poppin' fun person.
So I don't know what the twist is yet,
but I'm gonna do that one. (balloon pops)
- I'm a poppin' fun person.
- Yeah, we're all popping fun people.
- Get off my stage, ya creepy clown.
- Bye-Bye.
- That walk.
Players, can you fix my contraption?
(all screaming)
Wow!
- [Siobhan] God, you're loud.
- I do think the pitch
and tenor of the scream was very nice.
- Thank you.
- I am gonna say points for all three of our players.
- Hi, everyone. - That guy again.
- Oh, it's Grant O'Brien.
What are you doing?
- This is just a snack.
- You're eating with a spoon?
- All the forks were dirty.
- Oh Grant, don't get spaghetti
all over my players' podiums.
- I'm carbo loading.
I have a marathon tomorrow.

Oh!
Oh, that didn't look good.
Are you okay?
- Oh, I'm, yeah, I'm all right.
I think we might just need to take that again.
- Okay, everybody, we're on a quick hold.
- So here are your phones back.
- All right.
- I don't know who's is who's. - Is it this one?
It was this one?
That I got right the first time?
- [Ify] No.
- It's the orange?
- [Ify] That is a gold.

(static hissing)
- [Ash] Sorry y'all, but I'm supposed to take your phones.
- [Sam] Get ready for a "Game Changer."
Tonight's guests:
Michael Trapp.
- Yes, yes, here we go again, let's go.
- [Sam] Ify Nwadiwe.
- Ooh.
- [Sam] Siobhan Thompson.
- Sam, look over there.
- What?
And your host, me,
(static crackles)
the whole time.
This, microphone doesn't wanna close,
this is "Game Changer,"
the only game show where the game changes every show.
I am your host-
- On my back I have Samuel Dalton Reich.
I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand how the game works?
- We do.
- That's right, our players have no idea
what game it is they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing,
the only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
Players, hands on your buzzers, please.
(buzzer buzzes) - Sorry, my hand slipped.
(Sam laughing) Francium.
(buzzers buzz) Trapp.
- Francium.
- It's a point for Trapp.
Next up,
(buzzers buzzing) Trapp.
- Ouagadougou. - So quick!
- Next up, players-
(buzzers buzzing)
- Nah, we ain't going out like that, Trapp.
(buzzers buzzing)
- Trapp, my god.
- Aleksandr Salvzenitsen?
- No, come on.
- That is incorrect, Trapp.
(buzzer buzzes) - Siobhan.
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
- I'll count it, Siobhan, that is a point for you.
- Next up-
(buzzers buzzing) Trapp.
- That is D2993D.
- That is correct, Trapp.
Next up-
(buzzers buzzing) Ify.
- This one I'm gonna give you-
- Come on, no!
You can't, no, no, no, no.
No, you can't buzz in not knowing the answer.
This isn't fucking "Um, Actually."
Absolutely, no you can't! - I was sifting through
the Criterion Collection - No, absolutely not!
in my head.
I was sifting through it. - No!
- What's it gonna be, Ify?
- "John Wick."
- [Sam] I'll count it.
Ify, that's a point for you.
- This is bullshit.
- Next up, players,
solve this equation. (buzzers buzzing)
- No, you can't buzz in if you don't know the answer.
I know what the answer is, he doesn't know!
- It's two.
- It is two, Ify!
(Ify shouting) - The whole time!
- I guess I do know, I guess I do know.
- [Siobhan] Bullshit, bullshit.
- Is it Solzhenitsyn?
I need to know how to say this?
- Yes, Solzhenitsyn.
- We're changing the game!
- Wow, players.
Next up, there's a little game I have just for Mike Trapp.
- Left.
- Left or right?
- Two rights and then another left.
This is where, I don't remember where Ify went
I think he went left, let's go right.
- This isn't where I failed,
but you are right.
- Fuck, we should have been writing this down.
- Let's go right again.
- Hey!
Three, write it down, motherfuckers!
- I need to write it down!
- Three points for Mike Trapp.
- Some might say I'm a regular Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
- Three points, goddamn.
- Players, let's play Count the Beans.
Ash, if I could have the beans out here, please.
- [Sam] Siobhan.
- 2,500
- [Sam] Mike Trapp.
- 2,501
- And Ify.
- 2650.
- It is 2650, that's the closest.
- Okay.
- And that goes to Ify.
Players, Gimme A Duck.
Now, Siobhan, I,
I don't know if I can really allow for this.
- Even with three.
- [Mike] I see exactly how it is here.
Siobhan, I'm gonna give this one to you.
- Okay, well, that's yours then.
- That's yours to spend however you want.
- However you want, you can spend that.
- What a gentleman and a scholar.
- We will say one point for Ify and one point for Siobhan.
(whistle blows) (elegant violin music)
- Random podium inspection!
- I'm sorry?
- You actually don't see anything.
- I cannot be bought.
I don't know where you got such a frivolous idea from.
Are you kidding me?
- Sam, look over there.
- Clean as a whistle.
All right.
- Me, I'm just relaxing, my guy, I'm relaxing.
- That's fantastic.
Oh, it's great to see you again,
but oh, mm, quite dirty, it seems.
- Are you sure you can't be bought.
- Yours already looks pretty clean compared to to those two.
Did you do anything?
- Yeah, I bribed, Zac.
- Oh, dirty in your soul, but I'll take that,
thank you very much.
Those two get points, goodbye!
- Goodbye.
Thank you, podium inspector.
That is points for Siobhan and Trapp.
- Hey, what can I say, I'm just a clean lady.
- Players, could you go ahead and bribe me?
(Sam mumbling)
Oh, oh, it's so much!
Um, let's see.
With $15, thank you very much, Ify.
With $20, thank you very much, Siobhan.
Trapp, you gave me a couple bucks
and a picture of a duck.
- To sweeten the deal.
Just a little extra bill for you there.
- That particular point goes to Siobhan.
- All right. - Hell yeah.
(dramatic, discordant music)
- I hear you're playing a game.
I love games.
- [Sam] You're getting down to the dregs here, players.
(balloon pops)
- Uh oh, you just got popped.
- This is where dreams come true.
This is where we come closer than we ever come before
'cause right now we're coming together.
(balloon pops)
- Mamas and the Poppas.
- That was a good one, Roscoe.
- [Ify] There's no use. - Yeah, there's-
- Just pop the fucking balloon, man.
(balloon pops) Oh, oh, oh!
- Pop pop!
- I thought for sure there was, little key.
It's just a little key.
(static hisses)
- Hey, everyone.
- [Sam] Stop getting spaghetti all over my players' podiums.
- I can't, I'm carbo loading.
I got a marathon tomorrow.
- A marathon?
- A marathon of Turner Classic Movies.
Did you know that "Gone With The Wind" was the longest movie
to ever win an Academy Award at four hours?
- It seems like you've been out here four hours, Grant.
Now get off my stage.
- Oh gosh, good one, Sam.
Grant O'Brien out.
