Warren, you bullshitted every time.
-I have-- I've been-- -You haven't given us one correct answer.
This question is worth $25,000.
Two of your challengers have accurately called bullshit.
If Sam calls BS, you go home with $10,000.
But if Sam believed you,
$25,000 is yours.
So, Warren, when I read the answer,
I was thinking the exact same thing as you.
If you are on time, you're late. If you're early, you're on time.
Uh, you-- you-- Again, super huggable face.
Baby on the way.
I would love to believe you.
-But unfortunately in this scenario… -Yeah, unfortunately.
-…I am calling bullshit!
-I am so sorry.
-You got caught on your bullshit. -Indeed.
But you're not walking out of here empty-handed or pocketed or walleted.
-I'm not. -You have $10,000.
-A new baby on the way.
-A huggable face. -Huggable face.
-And you know what? You're a great guy. -Thank you.
With a baby on the way, $10,000 is the nice little cushion
for when the little guy comes around. And I'm just happy. I'm really excited.
$10,000 Warren just won.
Can one of you make it all the way to a million dollars?
We're about to find out. You know who is doing that?
The most accurate. You know who the most accurate one is?
-Sam.
Yay!
I am so excited to play Bullshit.
I was so worried I was not gonna make it into the hot seat.
Oh my God.
Ow! I hid the fact that I was queer for 15 years in a cult, okay?
I think that bullshittin' a couple people,
you know, standing in front of me on some trivia,
which I'm very good at, by the way,
is gonna be a breeze.
-Wow. You are so subtle.
I put the B in subtle.
The challengers have no idea what's going to hit them.
Hurricane Sam is coming to win.
Tell me about yourself, Sam.
Well, I grew up in a cult in Chenequa, Wisconsin.
And now I live in Detroit.
And I work in logistics during the day
and run Detroit's weirdest drag show at night.
I feel like I just fast-forwarded through the weirdest documentary
-I've ever heard about.
-Tell me.
If you were lucky enough to walk out of here with one million dollars,
what would that mean to you?
It would mean the world to me.
My little baby dog, Chuck, needs a surgery for his throat.
And it's been really hard for me seeing everything he's going through.
So, it means I could save my dog.
You can probably save your dog for less than a million dollars.
Yeah, well, then maybe I'll take a trip to the dentist
for the first time in years.
You haven't been to a dentist?
In years, Howie.
Do you understand the society we live in?
Not so much. All right, you wanna meet your challengers?
I would love to.
Okay. Sally.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Um, I'm a mental health counselor from Seattle, Washington.
And by night, I host a trivia night. Look out.
-Ooh, baby! -Look out, Sam.
Hannah, we've talked to you before, but let's learn more.
I'm back. And I bet you didn't know this,
but I was also born and raised in Wisconsin.
-No way. -Though not in a cult.
-Sorry.
And, Ciara, you're new to the game.
-I am. Um-- -Tell me about yourself.
This is a small world because I also grew up in Wisconsin,
-not in a cult.
-Come on, dairy queens. Come through.
Wow.
Now I live in L.A. And I've done a variety of jobs.
I work as a writing assistant and script coordinator.
But I've also worked at a Ren Faire, at Disneyland, and I stream on Twitch.
-Well, there you go, you're a gamer. -I am. Yeah.
This is the ultimate game.
All right, are you ready to play some Bullshit, Sam?
-I think so! Let's do it! -Wow.
You know what that scream means?
-You're ready to go.
All right, Sam, for $1,000, your first question tonight is…
"A, he had acute halitosis."
"B, he feared aliens were in his court."
"C, he didn't have a nose."
"D, he thought he was made of glass."
All right, Sam has answered the question.
And he has been notified whether his answer is right or wrong.
Sam, tell them about your answer.
I was a very food-motivated child and my mom was a translator.
So if I had wanted to eat when I was little, I had to speak French.
This led to a lifelong journey of taking French in school.
So, of course, for one of my reports,
I knew about King Charles VI who thought he was made of glass.
So, my answer is D, Howie.
All right. The only way you got fed was in French?
Ouai.
-Oui. -Ouai.
-Ouai? -Ouai.
-Ouai? -Yeah, but you're colloquial. You're cute.
-Challengers.
Lock in.
Does he know what he's talking about?
Is this a lie?
Sally, what'd you think?
You're the most delightful person I've ever met in real life.
I'm America's sweetheart.
But when the question came up,
his eyes looked a little scared like he was going back to the cult.
Wow, Sally!
And he was pausing and talking with his hands.
Those were your tells?
Yep. I think you're bullshitting. I'm gonna say it.
Okay.
Hannah, what did you think of his answer?
-I also thought it was bullshit.
-Bullshit? -Hannah!
Okay. All right. I know, Sam.
It felt to me like you were getting a little red, a little flustered.
I liked your story, but I just don't believe it.
Baby, it's not red. I'm just juicy.
Ciara?
Yeah. Uh, you mentioned the fear in his eyes.
They did mention halitosis.
You haven't been to the dentist, so maybe that's what caused your fear.
But I thought that you kind of had a roundabout way of coming to your answer.
You mentioned eating and then French, and then the lifelong lesson of French.
You could've just started with,
"I've taken French my whole life, so I know this answer."
It was a little roundabout, so I'm callin' bullshit.
All right, all three of you called bullshit.
You know how this game goes.
If it is bullshit, and you've all three called bullshit,
he's going home with nada.
Tell them.
-Y'all are wrong! -What?
He thought he was made of glass, y'all!
-What? -Don't come for me, ladies.
Hmm, all right.
-This is not a game.
-It is a game. -Yes.
-Okay. -Oh my God.
-All right. -You didn't see that coming.
-This time. -Okay.
All three of you called bullshit. All three of you were wrong.
Maybe they should start believing me, Howie.
Maybe. All right, he's got $1,000. I have a lock. You could lock it in.
-What do you wanna do? -I think we go unlocked.
-He is unlocked. -Unlocked.
-Unlocked and unhinged. Here we go. -Unhinged.
-For $10,000.
"A, turning it upside down."
"B, slathering it with Vaseline."
"C, wrapping it in a badminton net."
"Or D, putting it in a closet."
If you didn't know the question and you read all the answers,
that sounds like a fun date.
All right. He answered the question.
Sure did.
He… knows now, and only you know, whether you were right or wrong.
Tell them the answer.
Okay, y'all.
So, in the 1950s when Dr. Spock was rising to prominence,
Vaseline was also rising to prominence.
So, I went with the answer B, slathering the baby's crib with Vaseline.
-All right.
Ciara, what'd you think?
You said, "I went with B," not, "The answer is B."
That feels a little unconfident. I think you're bullshitting.
-Hmm. Interesting choice.
All right, Hannah?
I have to agree. I feel like that was total bullshit.
Because the last story, like, you were super involved
in your own personal part of the experience.
In this, I was like, "How does he know anything about Dr. Spock or who he is?"
I don't believe it.
Really? Well, here we go again.
Two of your challengers have already called BS.
-Sam, tell them about your answer.
Oh, it was absolute bullshit. I had no idea what was goin' on.
-I'm just like, "Ooh, Vaseline!"
The truth everybody knows. You have to wrap it in a badminton net.
Apparently.
All right. You were bullshitting.
Ciara said you were bullshitting. Hannah said you were bullshitting.
Last time, all three of them said you were bullshitting.
If Sally calls bullshit, you're gone.
-Yeah. Out. -With nothing.
How do you feel about your chances right now?
I feel like Sally is gonna hopefully have some solidarity.
-That's not how this game works. -I know it's not how this game works.
-She wants a million dollars. -I know she does.
Sally, what did you think?
You know what? I thought it was Vaseline too.
-You believed him?
-I believed him. -Wow! $10,000!
Whoo!
Proud of you. Proud of you.
-$10,000 is yours. -Yep.
You can lock it in now or you can keep going and go for $25,000.
I'm gonna go for 25K. I'm feeling good.
Sam is feeling good. We read two questions.
One correct, one wrong. It doesn't matter.
-Still in the game, going for $25,000.
Sally, you know now you are not the most accurate.
-I do know that. -And those two are tied.
Let's see who moves out in front.
Here is your next question for $25,000.
"A, 'Time is a gathering storm.'"
"B, 'Why should life all labor be?'"
"C, 'We live in a twilight world.'"
"Or D, 'Sometimes the song sings itself.'"
All right. The answer is locked in.
Tell them the answer.
So, Tenet, fabulous Christopher Nolan film that I got dragged to on a very bad date.
-I answered C,
"We live in a twilight world."
I'd like to live in a Twilight world and, you know, make a little zhoosh
with Edward Cullen or one of the others in the family.
But it was also a very popular phrase in the film.
So, he answered a question.
But was he bullshitting?
Or does he know what he's talking about?
-Sally helped you last time. -Yeah.
Sally, are you gonna help him again? What'd you think?
You know, I believe if you'd seen Tenet, it would've been on a bad date.
I don't think you would've gone on a date with anyone who would've made you do this.
-Okay. -So, I didn't believe you.
I thought it was bullshit.
-Bullshit? -Okay.
She called bullshit!
It's fine. I mean--
Why is it fine?
Tell her why it's fine she called bullshit.
The correct answer was C.
-"We live in a twilight world." -Oh my God!
-What?
I'm a Twilight girl livin' in a twilight world, baby.
-All right. $25,000 is his.
-I'm getting wrecked. -You called bullshit.
Ciara also called bullshit. But Hannah believed you, Sam.
$25,000.
You have not used your lock yet. You can use it now or we can keep going.
Let's lock it down. Let's pay for Chuck Chuck's surgery.
-Chuck Chuck's surgery, $25,000. -Mm-hmm.
Guaranteed.
-The puppy will be able to sing again. -Thank you.
All right. And now, for $50,000, your fourth question is…
"A, aquatic bird."
"B, tour bus. C, hot spring."
"Or D, a barbecue sandwich."
-Okay. He locked in his answer.
Tell us your answer.
So, I worked in Montana, and everyone told us,
"You have to go and get a Red Jammer."
It is a delicious barbecue sandwich.
My answer is D.
-Okay. You've all locked in.
I'll just go to you.
Were you telling the truth?
Or were you bullshitting?
I'm bullshitting.
-You're bullshitting.
The actual answer is B, tour bus.
So just by show of hands, did anybody believe him?
Oh, thank God!
-Yes! Praise Jesus!
Wow!
Whoo!
$50,000 is on the board.
$50,000 is yours.
You could take it and go right now, guaranteed.
Or you can go on and play for $75,000. One step closer to one million dollars.
But if you play on
and you bullshit and they catch you in your bullshit, all three of them,
the most you can leave with is $25,000.
So what are you gonna do?
Oh, I gotta go for the 75K.
-Okay. He's going for the 75K.
He's faced four questions, and he's got half of them wrong.
And he's still going for $75,000.
The question is…
"A, shoe polish. B, charcoal bricks."
"C, blocks of ice. Or D, canned sardines."
-Okay. Let's listen to his answer.
So, growing up, I loved Charles Dickens. He was a favorite of mine.
-I wanted to know everything.
Truly. No. Great Expectations is one of my all-time favorites.
But I know that he wrote a lot
about young boys working in these types of factories.
They're often very dirty. They are, in fact, B, charcoal bricks.
Sally, what did you think?
I just-- I don't know anymore, man.
-I had to go with my gut.
I like the reasoning. He did write Great Expectations.
That's true about all the boys. But I thought that he was bullshitting.
Sam, tell Sally if she's right this time.
-You were right this time, baby. -Oh my God.
The correct answer was shoe polish.
-Finally! -Finally! I'm so proud of you.
Okay, so he was bullshitting. You got it wrong.
If the other two thought it was bullshit, you're going away.
-You just need one person to believe you.
-I know. -I'm just gonna go down the line, okay?
Hannah… I'll never forget, Hannah looked at you and…
You didn't even hear the answer.
You didn't believe-- What don't you believe? That he reads?
No, I do believe that he reads. I just don't believe it's Charles Dickens.
As a young person,
that you were just absorbed in the world of Charles Dickens.
-I literally was, though.
I'm a nerd. I'm sorry.
But then he took me on a journey. So at first, I was like, "You're lying."
And then I was like, "Wait a second."
"You're not lying about the Charles Dickens thing."
And then I was like, "Wait, did you just lie your way into the correct answer?"
So, here I am on the other side saying it was right even though it wasn't.
-Boom. The money is yours.
-Here I am-- -He was bullshitting.
Isn't that amazing?
You're worth $75,000 right now in this game.
And out of five questions, you've got three of them wrong.
-Yeah. -Is this not the best game in the world?
-Yeah, I was gonna say.
-All right.
So here's what I will tell you. You could take the $75,000 right now.
You're locked in at $25,000.
I have one more lock.
You can use that second and final lock on the $100,000.
But if you get called out on bullshit, the most you can go home with is $25,000.
What do you wanna do?
Well, Howie, we're already at a point
where I make more than what I make in a year.
Late-stage capitalism is a nightmare.
-He speaks the truth.
-Yes, absolutely. -That's true. Yeah.
-That being said, let's go for 100K, baby!
All right, buddy.
We're going for $100,000. The next question is…
"A, gol inverso."
-"B, gol fantástico."
"C, gol olímpico."
"Or D, gol crespo."
I'm all locked in, baby.
Okay. He is locked in.
And now, I need you to answer the question.
-So, my answer is C, gol olímpico.
Uh, I went to Mexico City
with my best friend, Kaitlyn, a few years ago,
and met a lovely, lovely boy named Pablo,
who was a huge soccer fan.
We had a torrid affair for a few days, and I learned what a gol olímpico is.
-You have a story for everything. -I really do. That's the whole gig.
That's the big-- That's the goosh. That's the zhoosh.
-Well, I don't know if that's the answer.
I don't even know if there's somebody named Pablo that exists that knows him.
His cheekbones were supposed to cut the diamonds for my ring.
Okay. Ciara, what did you think?
-I love that story,
but I'm calling bullshit.
-Wow. -I think, uh,
if you don't like sports, you don't retain sports knowledge.
I don't like sports, Ciara, but I do like athletes.
-That's fair enough.
Okay, Hannah?
Okay. Do I believe that you've been with someone named Pablo? Yes.
Do I believe that you enjoyed his company? Yes.
Do I believe that you asked him about himself?
-No. I'm gonna go ahead and say…
Oh!
…that was bullshit.
Hannah!
-You just threw so much shade. -Girl!
-All right.
-I'm just gonna ask Sally.
Did you have a good time with Pablo?
-Oh, the best. -Yeah?
During your torrid affairs, do you normally talk about soccer goals?
Well, if it's, uh, germane to the role play.
-Hoo-hoo-hoo!
-Were you the goalie? -Oh, no, honey. I'm a forward.
-Okay. -Ooh, I hear there's a shortage of those.
-All right. What did you call?
Um… I said you were bullshitting, baby.
-I'm sorry. -So they all called bullshit.
If you were wrong and that was bullshit, I'm about to say goodbye.
But tell us what your answer was.
So, y'all…
I was right and you were wrong.
-There ain't no bullshit in this house. -Oh my God!
-$100,000.
No way you knew that answer.
-Honey, honey, I did know the answer.
It was correct.
Now I have 100K!
Hannah, I gotta explain to you.
Once he knows, you gotta stop calling bullshit.
-I understand. I understand. -All right. $100,000.
And I'm offering you a second lock.
I'm absolutely gonna use that second lock, Howie.
You can't leave with any less
-than $100,000.
The next question is worth
-a quarter of a million dollars, Sam. -Whoo!
Tell me what a quarter of a million dollars means to you.
It means that you can make it rain on me later, Howie.
-Oh my God.
I feel so uncomfortable right now.
-The question for $250,000.
"A, a roundworm. B, a tadpole."
"C, a jellyfish. Or D, a fruit fly."
Okay. He locked in his answer.
Tell your challengers your answer.
So, the biology program
that I grew up with in the cult was not the best.
At one point, they did tell me that kangaroos laid eggs.
I am not even kidding.
I got in an argument with the teacher over it.
However, I did receive much better science education after that
where I learned that roundworms are one of the simplest forms of life,
and therefore incredibly easy to clone.
-So, my answer is A, roundworms.
-Okay.
You had an argument with somebody about kangaroo eggs?
I did. He was a disgraced cardiologist.
I have so many questions that have nothing to do with this show.
Ciara, what did you think?
I think you're bullshitting.
I don't-- I don't have a good read on you.
-You're just confused. -We've all given up, man.
Yeah, at this point, it's just 50-50, my dude.
-Hannah, what did you think? -I like your story.
But I didn't, like, feel anything about where it came from afterwards.
Like, how long was the cult?
When did you actually experience this?
So it felt to me like it was a tag-on. So I'm gonna say bullshit.
-Okay. -Hmm.
Before I go to Sally, I will go to you.
Tell us about your answer.
-Oh, it was absolutely bullshit.
I thought roundworm was, like, a good guess, though.
Tadpole would be a good guess.
-Because it'd be correct. -But roundworms are so simple, Howie.
All right. Bullshit was called by Ciara.
-Bullshit was called by Hannah.
It actually was bullshit.
So, Sally is the only one that can keep you in the game.
A quarter of a million dollars are on the line.
-That's serious, serious money. -Sally, sweet--
If Sally calls bullshit, you're going home.
If Sally believed you,
you, young man, have a quarter of a million dollars.
Ooh-hoo-hoo!
-Sally, please believe me.
-Go ahead, Sally. -Okay. So, honey, I'm a therapist.
I went to a lot of biology type of school.
Nematodes, which are roundworms…
-…are…
-She could be bullshitting.
Do you really give a shit what a nematode is?
-I do. Yes. They were in SpongeBob. -Okay. Go ahead.
-Yeah, they were. -Yeah, they are.
And they are one of the simplest forms of life.
-Oh my God.
So, girl…
-I believed you. -Oh!
-Yes! Baby! Sally! -Yeah!
-Home team! -That's a lot of dog sweaters.
Quarter of a million dollars!
I'm hyperventilating.
It's okay.
Right now, you can leave with a quarter of a million dollars.
Or you can go for a half a million dollars.
If you don't do well with the half-a-million-dollar question,
if you don't know the answer, you bullshit the answer,
you're called out on bullshit, the most you can leave with is $100,000.
Less than a quarter of that half a million dollars.
What do you wanna do?
Uh, well, call me a biscuit 'cause the rest is gravy.
-Let's go for it. -Whoo!
It'll be on your gravestone.
Put it on my tombstone, baby.
All right. For a half a million dollars, here is the question.
"Which of these raucous behaviors is encouraged
in the German pre-wedding tradition known as…"
"…'polterabend'?"
"A, guzzling beer. B, telling dirty jokes."
"C, throwing bread. Or D, smashing plates."
I did attend Heidi Klum's…
…polterabend.
-I didn't go to the main ceremony, though.
All right. You locked in.
This is for a half a million dollars.
Tell them your answer.
Okay. So, my answer for this is C.
-I did learn German growing up.
I did not like German, but I do remember "polter" as in poltergeist, throwing.
"Abend" like about.
So, C, throwing bread.
Okay.
You heard his answer.
Does he know what he's talking about?
-Is this a lie?
It's up to you guys to click in
-whether you believed him or not.
Okay. The challengers have all locked in.
I'm gonna start with you, Sam.
Was it correct?
-No. No, it was not. It was some bullshit.
So, the correct answer is D, smashing plates.
Yeah, throwing bread, close enough.
-No, not close enough. -Maybe for them it was.
-You need one of them… -Oh, I know.
-…to believe you. -I know. Just one.
One person has to buy your bullshit
for a half a million dollars.
Ciara?
Your lies are stacking up on each other.
You said you took French and now suddenly you also took German?
-Girl, I speak four languages. -Oh, sure.
You didn't know this one, though.
-Bullshit.
She doesn't only call bullshit on your answer.
She calls bullshit on your education,
-bullshit on your history.
These two, Hannah and Ciara, are tearing me apart.
Remember, this is for a half a million dollars.
I know!
One of them has to believe you for a half a million dollars.
-Yeah. -Hannah?
Unluckily for you,
I played a German beer wench on a cruise ship.
So, I know for a fact that you were wrong.
And I'm sorry.
-It's bullshit, baby. -No!
This is a huge swing right now, Sally.
There has been kind of a game between you two.
-And the point of the matter is,
you are now going for a half a million dollars.
If she believed you, that's a huge amount of money.
If she calls you out on your bullshit,
you don't get a half a million dollars, you get $100,000.
That's a huge swing. It's a difference of $400,000.
Mm-hmm.
It is all up to Sally.
Sally, the pressure's on.
As a fellow gay, I also have a sickly little dog.
And I have so much love for yours, and I hope he does amazing.
I lived in Germany for five years.
-No! -I know! I know!
So, I knew it was bullshit and I'm sorry.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay. It's okay.
-I hate you all.
-Let me go home to my dog.
You have $100,000.
I do! That's super exciting!
Isn't that exciting? It's amazing.
You're not a loser. You're a winner. And you are a great bullshitter.
Thank you.
That's the highest compliment on this game.
-I appreciate it. Thank you. -Keep on bullshitting, Sam.
-I wish you nothing but the best. -Thank you so much.
-Thank you, Sam. Good night. -Bye.
-Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
I just won 100K, America!
Ow!
That's it for now. So, what did we learn?
If you wanna win big money, don't tell the truth.
-Boom! -Oh! My girl!
$10,000!
-Oh my God. -$25,000.
Oh my gosh!
$250,000!
Congratulations.
It's insane!
Until we meet again, remember…
-Boom!
-One million dollars!
Convincing someone you know the truth
is way more important than actually knowing it.
And that's no bullshit.
