It's so nice to have heat. Oh my gosh. - Is it cold in LA? I thought it did. - No, it's, it's really cold, okay? And no, I've never been so cold, it's in California. - I like 70? - No, 40. - Really? - I didn't know that. - And none of the buildings have insulation. They're all like, chill, let's be chill. We're buildings and it's like freezing. - Yeah, those West Coast buildings, they're like wicker baskets. - I would put my hands over my dog's ears, 'cause the dogs ears are so cold. I'd try, I'd, I'd do, I'd do hand muffs. - Hand muffs. It's been warm here, if we had a bunch of hot November days, first switch of rude. - What's your routine? What's your week been like, hey, oh, are you holding up? - Oh, let me tell you. I've been saving this. - Really? - My sister got me to, I might need your help too, since you have babysitting experience. My sister went to a destination wedding and wanted me to babysit the kids for a week in the West Village and their teenagers. - No. - And my main goal was to make sure they go to school. And I don't know how teenagers are in general. I know I didn't wanna go to school, but I went. They would find, they would keep finding ways to not go to school, and it was very frustrating. And they're like, oh, well, one time, the last day, when it was like, oh, we're just gonna do whatever. One time, my nephew, firstly, they don't, my nephew doesn't have an alarm, 'cause he relies on me to wake him up. And so I do that. - In his power. - I know. And then he sleeps in and I keep coming in, and then once he's up, he's like, "Oh, I don't feel too good." I'm like, "Okay, but you have to go to school." And then he's like, "Okay, I have to eat first." And then I walk into the room, and he's reclining, eating cheese and prosciutto. And like a king. And then he doesn't leave until he finishes it all. And then the niece brought her friend over, and they're just hanging out, and I was like, "Okay, go to school." - In the morning? - Yeah, and she's like, "No, she comes over, "and then we go to school together." And I'm like, "Okay," you know, 'cause they're city kids. And then they're like, they left like an hour later. And then I found out they're just hanging out on the roof. - Wow. Yeah, you got played. - I got played, I'm not. Yeah, I was like, "If I had kids, "I would skip the teenager part, "or maybe I'll adopt young adults "to just visit during the holidays." - That one time my parents went out of town, and we got a babysitter who worked with my mom, and she did yoga in the backyard. And my brother saw her as such an easy mark and had like a huge ranger. Huge ranger, yeah. - Well, she was there? - Yeah, she was sleeping upstairs. - Oh, like when she went to bed, even by two friends over, enraged. - Raged. - Wow, against the serene. - Yeah. - That's why, so now, so how much should I charge my sister? She said, "Family discount." - Family discount. - But she's like, "What's a fair price? "Family discount, though?" - Mm-hmm. - For teenagers. - I mean, you could just accept money. That's easily something you could do, however. I think you got, I think if you don't need the money, write the second, do you need the money, write the second? (laughing) - Yes. - You do. (laughing) - That looks like one month red. So yeah, I could just charge. - That could be pretty good. 'Cause you could also, if you didn't need the money, write the second, you could also, you know, bank it for something-- - Oh, like a favor. - Yeah, like a big favor, like when you land in jail or whatever. - Yeah, I need to do that. - But she probably would get you out anyways. So, Naya, maybe it is the money. - Yeah. - I don't know else. - Is there anything that you want to buy with the money or just rent? - Just pay the bills. - Okay, yeah, maybe it's, maybe it's to pay the bills for a month, that's pretty good. (laughing) Yeah. - Okay. - And really like crank the heat and stuff that, you know what I mean? - Oh yeah. - Live in, live in luxury. - I'll say so. One time, one of the days, I had to order them a delivery. Is it regular, like Chinese food? But because it's like the West Village, only like two dishes and a small thing. 70 dollars. - Wow. Wow. - Bang. - Yeah. - Did you tell them this? Were you like, kind of like the grumpy uncle? - They were like, "This is what we usually get." And I'm like, "Okay." And so then I made my sister reimburse me. - Good. I mean, I think you should. This is your feeding her offspring, you know? (laughing) - Yeah, I had to assert my dominance. Well, it's easier for some than others, I'll say that. - I just directed it towards my sister instead of the kids. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I don't know. - I get that. - Have you ever babysitted teenagers? I don't really babysit them. - No, I don't know if I've ever babysit teenagers. - I was just like a proctor. - Yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. I do think that, yeah, one time I did have this idea to teach a one day workshop of comedy to teenagers. I don't know why I thought to do this. This is like, I did it independently, not through a school. And that was insane. That was truly insane. - What was their age range? - 10 to 13. - Okay. Was it the one you invited me to just like your friends to critique? - Yes, yes. - You don't like it? - Yes. - It was just like constantly like, "Stop, please stop, please, please, please step down from there." - Yeah, that's, yeah, it makes boarding school make sense. Oh my God, when I used to go to Sunday school, my mom, she would teach like, they had like one time in a year, they would like do a cooking thing for like tatamik lacas. And you know, like lacas are fried in hot oil and all the kids would throw ice cubes in the hot oil. - No. - And my mom was just like at her wits and like, there was like hot oil being sprayed everywhere. - That's crazy. - Yeah. - Wow, those are whippers and appers. - No, teenagers are teenagers. And I love teenagers, they're cool. - Cool. - They're cool, but they do fright as a group. So frightening, so much power. For the record, they're very nice people to hang out with like my niece and nephew. It's just like when it comes to like laying down the law, it sucks. - No, oh, laying down the law is terrible. No matter where you are, who, no matter who. - Yeah, also. - You gotta, you know what, you gotta read. - Huh. - How to win friends and influence people. - Have you read it? - Yeah, someone was like, you gotta read it. And I tried to read it and it changed my personality for a week. And then I had nothing to back it up. And then I had to abandon it. - I listened to the audio book when I was like a teenager 'cause I thought it would make me a better at social gatherings. - Yeah. - I don't remember what he taught you. - Basically. - What changed didn't you? - Basically, like it's not like being like, it's like, you're not saying go to your room. You're saying, you probably would like it if you went to your room. - What do you think about going to your room? Seems like that's the most beneficial place for you to be. (laughing) - Sit in the corner. I think, I think it's cool there. It seems like that someone like you are the type who would sit in the corner as punishment. - Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's really good. That is, that's good. That's what it is. - Yes. - It's good, it's good. But then it's like, your brain has to be kind of like, 'cause then it's like, what if they're like, I don't want to? And then you're like, what's the next step? What did the book tell me to do? And then you forget. And then it's like, you can't go look up a book in the middle of a conversation. You know what I mean? - Well, you're threatening someone. - Right. Threatening them to what they like, huh? - Of course, yeah. - Of course, it's really, don't, there's... - I've never, I've never been led by a leader who was flipping through pages while they were inspiring me to go get 'em. - I know. Well, how do you feel? You want to start this show? - Yeah, I'm back at home. I'm with my guitar. I'm with my friends. Let's do it. You guys. - Oh, okay, weird. All right, here we go. This is, this is, the first game is called Dinner Party. It's submitted by Michelle from Denver. - What? (upbeat music) ♪ Oh, what are you bringing ♪ ♪ To the dinner party ♪ ♪ I am bringing myself ♪ ♪ Because my present is a food ♪ ♪ My present is a food ♪ ♪ And I am so food ♪ ♪ My present is a food ♪ ♪ And that is good ♪ - Okay, okay, can we just kind of talk about that? - Right. - 'Cause it started off so strong and so rhythmic. And then it seemed like your body rejected it. It was like slow, slow it down to a weird pace. And then it was like, the body was like, "Okay, you get to be back on tempo." And then it was like, "No, no, no." And it really didn't feel like a battle between mind and heart. - It was a, I just can't multitask. I don't know why I do this. - It sounded really good for the first, I'd say four seconds. That was really, really good. - Yeah, I can't think in strumming guitar at the same time. - Oh, come on. That was good, it was good. That's the, I thought it was good. - My body rejected it like I needed to take immune suppressants before the show. - Okay, let's talk to Jules in Portland. Jules, what's going on in Portland? - Hi, Joe, I'm Anolo. - Hey, what's going on? - Hey, what's going on? - Oh, just hanging out, drinking some tea with my dog. Well, my dog's not drinking tea, but I am. - Your dog Mavis? - Yes. - What's Mavis doing? - She's currently just lying on a sort of bed of pillows. She loves to, I'm like, throw pillows on my couch. She sort of makes a nest and lies on the pillows. It's pretty funny. - That's nice, that's really nice. And you love clowns and Snoopy. - Yeah. - That's what you told I produced. - Yeah, yeah. - Do you have like a lot of clowns and Snoopy around your house or what's, how's that manifest? - Yeah, I have a couple of like clown dolls and figurines and I have a Snoopy vintage Snoopy figurine that's like Snoopy riding on roller skates. It's pretty cute. - Do, has a loved one been like, well, they like Snoopy and clowns. Why don't I give them a gift of Snoopy dressed as a clown? - I would absolutely love that. That would be an ideal gift for me. So anybody listening, write that down. - Yeah. - Got it, got it. Okay, we're writing it down, we're writing it down. Okay, so Jules. - Yeah. - Are you, do you feel prepared? Do you wanna hear how this dinner party game works? - Yeah. - Okay, here's what Michelle writes. Name colors and one adjective to describe your dinner from the night before. If Joe and Manolo can guess what your dinner was within five guesses, you win. This game is inspired from episode 110's intro banter. Okay, all right. - Okay. - What was the intro banter? - I don't, I literally have no idea. - But I'm sure it was when we were describing the colors of our dinner, no. Okay, so Jules, do you remember what you had for dinner? - I do, yeah. - Okay. - Okay. - Do you know a color and an adjective? - Yeah, so the colors are sort of tan and green. And the adjective is vegetal. I think that's an adjective, right? - Yeah. - Vegetal, okay, tan and green. - Vegetal, vegetal food. - Yeah. I'm thinking, I'm thinking like, here's what I'm thinking, Manolo and Jules, this doesn't, this is just a brainstorming. - Okay. - Okay, so just be cool, okay? This is gonna guess yet, okay? But I'm thinking it's like something like either a grain, like a grain bowl or lentil soup. - Oh, do you know what my guess is? - Don't, wait, okay, my official guess will be grain bowl. Not quite, ah, okay, that's one down. We have four to go, Manolo, what do you think? - Okay. - Not quite, not quite. Oh. - ♪ Mashed potatoes and peas ♪ ♪ Mashed potatoes and peas ♪ - Okay. - You're getting closer. - What? - That's really close. - What? - Okay. Mashed potatoes and peas is closer. Maybe it's like all sides, maybe. - That's what I was thinking. Jules did it all side, but what's another tan? - Not, can I say what's, okay, one is tan? I'm gonna give you the tan, I'm gonna say that's correct. - It's a potato. - It's a potato. - Yes. - I'm fries. - And then green, you need to think of something else. Green, we need to think of something else. Vegetal. - Some potatoes. - And it's potatoes. - Yes. - Did you say what form? - It's not mashed. - Oh, oh, okay. I'm gonna say it's a baked potato with broccoli. - I'm gonna give that to you because it's roasted potatoes and broccoli. - Wow. - Wow. - I'm gonna say yes, because roasted equals baked to me. - Okay, thank you, Jules, that's very generous to you. - It was like three guesses, right? - Yeah, really good job. - So, Jules, you did really good job and you're getting a customer. - Oh, thank you so much. - No, thank you. - Very healthy. - Very healthy. Good job, really good job. - Thank you. - Wow, no, thank you. Okay, this, okay, let's talk to Yuji in Chicago. Yuji, are you there? - Hey, Joe. Hey, Manila. - Hey, what's going on? - Not much, just sitting here with my coffee and got my egg on my lap. So, pretty good start to the day so far. - Ooh, animal and drink hour. - That's right. - And the last time you were on Dr. Game Show, it was 2020? - Yeah, yeah, it was a lot. I forget the thing of the episode, but it was like, right, like the summer of 2020. - Was it back when we were zooming with the videos? - It was, yeah. So, yeah, a different experience now with that video. - Better, better. - You like it better? - More for you. - I kind of like it better, actually, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you kind of gave us an update. Like, since 2020, what have you done? You've done three things. You told our producer. - That's right, yeah. So, since 2020, I've collected 55 ridge magnets, taken over 3,800 pictures of my cat CC and learned that sesame is my favorite bagel topper. - That's wonderful. - Five bagel topping, you mean like, on the outside of a bagel, like a sesame bagel, or do you mean like in the cream cheese or? - I mean, like the outside, yeah, I'm still trying to find out what my favorite cream cheese is. - Oh, it's like a sesame. Yeah, my order is usually like a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese. - That's a really good order. That's my order too. We'd actually order the same thing too. - What? - What? - What? - No. - No, we're becoming one. (both laughing) - Well, actually, this was like kind of, Eugene kind of helped us cheat 'cause like now we know a little bit more, you know what I mean? Like about his dinner stuff. Okay, so Eugene, do you remember what you ate for dinner last night? - I did, yeah, I did. - Okay, okay, are you ready to just give us colors and an adjective? - Yeah, yeah, this will be interesting 'cause I'm colorblind and so I had to Google what color this thing was. I just didn't have to share. - Okay. - But yeah, so the colors are bright, red and orange. - Whoa. - And the adjective is creamy. - Creamy, bright red and orange. - Yep. - Mm. - Okay, okay, I'm gonna, okay. I'm gonna go ahead and say cream of tomato soup. That's a classic. - Oh. - It's close, it's a-- - Okay. - That's the way the warm territory. - It's definitely in the warm territory. Okay, got it. - You said bright red and orange? - Yep. - Oh, okay. - What? What? (upbeat music) ♪ Roasted peppers ♪ ♪ And sweet potatoes ♪ - Um, no, not quite bad, but that doesn't sound tasty. - Okay, okay. - Just thinking sides. - Okay, no, okay, I know, I know what it was. It was vodka, pasta with vodka sauce. - Ooh, no, not bad. - It's Italian though, right? - It is not Italian though. - Oh my gosh, and we were closest with the soup. Oh my gosh, we only have two guesses left. - Pizza. - Creamy, bright red and orange. Come on, let's think, let's get there. Let's get there. - Okay, can I ask-- - You would be a 56 magnet. - Can I ask a question? - Yeah. - Is it healthy or is it like not healthy? - It sounds like, like-- - It could be made healthier, but I don't know. I think that this is generally an indulgent meal. - Okay. It's warm, it's not Italian. - Correct. - And you say creamy. - Oh, what if-- - This is not a guess, so don't even worry about this, but I'm just brainstorming with no load that, what if it's like mac and cheese with hot dogs? - Oh. - Look, cut up hot dogs. - Oh, 'cause mac and cheese is orange. - Yeah, and hot dogs are kind of like red, but then I'm like, maybe that is what it is, 'cause then it's like, it's kind of like tomato soup in that it's warm and creamy. - Yeah. - But, you said bright red. - Bright red. - Yeah, I think it's known for being bright red. I mean, I wouldn't know, but-- - It's known for being bright red, so I guess there's beets in there too. I mean, I don't, oh, ketchup. - Oh. - What do you think? We have two guesses left, this is so nuts. - It's like ketchup. - It's not Italian. - On yams. - Ketchup on yams, okay, and it's an indulgence. Oh, okay, do you have one? - Mm. - I'm impressed that the listeners aren't chatting. - No, it's really good, don't encourage them. Okay, okay, Eugene, do you have anything else you can help us with? - Yeah, I think you're a closest to the tomato soup part. - Whoa. - It's often accompanied with rice. Whoa. - Whoa. - Right, red and orange. - With rice. - I would say one of it, is it one thing? - Is it maybe it's a curry? Maybe it's-- - It's almost thinking. - Yeah, maybe it's a curry. - Right, like a chicken, vindaloo. - Oh, yeah? Yeah? - Yeah? - I mean, that's pretty close. - What was it? - Chicken masala? - Yeah, well, it was a cauliflower chicken masala, that's correct. - Wow. - Wait, what's bright red? - Oh, I don't know, I just feel good with what colored chicken masala was. (laughing) It's been bright red, so take it up with Google, I guess. - Okay, I'll have to-- - Take it up with Google. Wow, well, Eugene, you just got your 56 magnets, so congratulations. - Nice. - Nice is right. Nice is right. - You just ate it without rice? - No, ate it with rice. - Yeah. - So you could have said, right-- - Manolo. - Orange and what? - Manolo. - Or are you saying that-- - Manolo. - The sauce colored all the rice greens. - Manolo, this is not the leadership we're looking for, okay? - It was harder to know where the chicken masala ended and the rice starts. - Thank you. - Okay. - Okay, this was really good. We'll talk to you soon, Eugene. Wow, really good. - Thank you. - No, thank you. - Okay. - This game's making me hungry. - Well, that's good 'cause it's over. Okay, so, okay, here we go. This next game is called Stethoscope and Lab Coat on my desk now submitted by Dane from Coon Rapids, Minnesota. - All right. (clears throat) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) ♪ Steposcope and lab coat on my desk now ♪ ♪ They are there and not on the floor ♪ ♪ Because I'm a doctor and diagnosed the floor ♪ ♪ It's lava ♪ ♪ I guess it's lava ♪ ♪ And I can't put my stuff on the floor and now ♪ ♪ And it's lava ♪ ♪ And I am burning up 'cause I have a disease ♪ - Why did it happen again? It was so good. (laughing) - I can't think. It's like, yeah. - Well, it kind of happened when you repeated the lava and then, and when you said it when I have a disease, that's kind of where it, - Yeah, that's, anytime I slow down, that's the entrance of a new-- - What if you take, what if you take a moment to come up with the lyrics in advance for the third game? - Well, okay. So this is my issue with performing standup too. - Okay. - I am a hundred times slower and do a lot of pauses, not for effect, but because I'm, I'm trying to recall recalling is so I'd be a lot worse. I could try it. - What do you mean you'd be a lot worse? - I would be even more slow because recalling things is slower than thinking on the fly. - Okay, what if you wrote it down and read it? - Yeah, but reading is also multitasking. I'm trapped. - Oh, oh, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see. I could try it. - It might be worth as a social experiment. - Okay, when do I do it now? - Do you want to do it now? You want to take a moment to write the next lyrics? I'll riff, I'll riff. - Okay, while you're playing the game. - Yeah, here's what Dane writes. In buddy cop movies, when the buddy cops have gotten on the wrong side of the police chief because they pushed the envelope too far, he or she always demands they turn in their guns and badges but still managed to solve the case in secret. Joe gives contestants a profession and contestants declare the equipment they surrender and how they will succeed despite losing the necessary tools. If Joe finds the narrative convincing, magnet time. Do you need more time, Enola? - I need five more seconds. - Okay, cool. So let's talk to Danny in Philadelphia. Danny, are you there? - Yes, hello, good morning, I'm here. - Hi Danny, what's going on? - Oh, it's been a busy morning. I've got a dough rising for Calzone. I'm gonna make for lunch. I've been playing with my cats while I've been on mute. It's a good time. It's a chill Saturday. - Well. - Dylan, cut. - And you're trying to decide-- - Can you say you were drinking something? I don't think Danny did say that. - Oh, no. Yeah, no, I am in fact drinking one of those natural energy energy drinks. So it tastes awful but not like chemical awful. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, see, we have a diverse set of listeners. - Yes, Danny, you were trying to decide whether to buy two things. You told our producer, Alex. - Yeah, yeah, so I've been working some overtime at my job and I have a little extra spending money. And I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy a sword or a vacuum cleaner. - Do you have a pros and cons list or? - I do, in fact. Swords, cool, possibly useful in a dangerous situation. Vacuum cleaner, functional, would improve my life in terms of cleanliness, but it probably would scare my cats. Also, vacuum cleaner, more expensive than sword. So do I want a pretty thing that doesn't cost a lot of money? It is functionally useless, or do I want a useful thing that's expensive but scary to my cats? - Do you not have a vacuum cleaner right now, like to clean and you just have a messy floor? - Yes, I don't currently have a vacuum cleaner. I'm just brooming it every week. - That's interesting. - Broom never quite sketches everything. - I would say that a broom is pretty much the love child of a sword and a vacuum cleaner. That you should just use that extra money and invest in stocks. - That's, okay, that started out very wise. - Just buy a stock. - Just buy a stock, okay. - I don't know. - So it's so buy neither and invest, okay. - Yeah, no, I would say a sword because if the broom is good enough, then you'd have two weapons. - Ooh, I could do a wield. - Yeah, you could do a wield. - Yeah, yeah, but the chat is leaning sore, it seems like. - Don't worry about the chat, I'll say this. - Is that I think, I think vacuums, unless you get the perfect vacuum, this is not gonna help. If you got a cat, it's a bigger problem. You know what I mean? Unless you get the perfect vacuum, it's not gonna do what you want it to do. - So. - But a sword will almost consistently do what you want it to do, which is slice off people's. - Things. - Heads, yeah, whatever. - So, yeah, whatever you want to slice off of them. - So if you did lean vacuum, it would have to be like a really good one. - It'd have to be a good one. You'd have to do a lot of research, whereas with a sword, you could buy kind of any sword. - Pretty much. - Yeah, I already have a sword in mind, actually. - Oh, but you don't have a vacuum in mind. - It's a dice in sword. - I don't have a vacuum in mind. - Yeah, I think you should get a sword. - If you did get a vacuum, what's the one that starts with the M, mooji? It's not mooji, it's like a Swedish. It's kind of like, sounds like mooji, but those are supposed to be the best ones. - Really? - Okay. - Yeah, like yeah. - All right, if I find I have support and vacuum money, I'll look into a mooji. - Yeah, it's not- - I got a dust buster. I like a dust buster. It takes more time. - Oh, like the handheld one? - Yeah, the handheld one. Less of an investment. Takes more time sucking up all that stuff in your house, but you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna think about it. - Holly quiet or castled like that? - I don't know if it is. Okay, Danny. - I have, wait, can I mention one more thing? - Yeah. - I have a whole mop set, but for some reason, I don't like doing it. And so kind of like you and the dust buster, I do it like the person did it in a spirited way where it's just like a bucket in a towel and I just run across the room. (laughing) On the floor. But I don't know why mops seem like such a hassle. But anyway, yeah, I understand, I guess. - Yeah, I get it. Mops do feel like a hassle. 'Cause it's the bucket of those dirty water I get it. And it's just, you got to wait for it to dry. You can't walk anywhere. - Yeah, yeah, I get it. And it never really feels clean after. You're like, I just swash this around. - Yeah, dirty thing. - Dirty thing. I just swash this around, dirty thing. Dang, we're really good at insults. Okay, Danny, are you ready? I'm gonna give you, do you know how to play this game? I vaguely remember you're gonna give me a job and I'm gonna give you things. And then I do the job anyway. - You got it. You got it, perfect. No notes for me. Okay, so I'm gonna give you, Danny, just so I know, do you wanna share your job, your current job, just so I can have a little bit of a-- - Oh. Does that help you? Do you want that? - Yeah, no, my job is probably the least interesting thing. - Okay. - Period. - Okay. - And about me specifically. - Okay, so I'll just make up a profession. - Please. - Okay, you are a medical doctor. - I think I've got that idea, Joe. - Surrender your equipment and then just say how you'll succeed despite what the necessary tools. - Okay. - What kind of doctor? - Well, yeah, am I like a specialist? Am I a specialist? - Yeah. - What's the job at hand? - Ear, nose, and throat? - Ooh, in T. - Okay. - They take your wooden, like, yeah, my lab coat and my, what am I, a stethoscope? That's the name of the game. Hand? - Yeah, yeah. - Your hands? - Oh, the thing. - The wooden thing, the plastic. - The stick. - Yeah, the thing you wear on your head that, like, reflects the light, like, old-timey doctors wear. - What's that called? - Ish. - Yeah, take my white coat and satellite dish, but I'm still able to properly diagnose, ear, nose, and throat problems through a small camera on the end of a tongue depressor. I don't, I don't need that little light. I can just look in there with technology. It's 20, 24, baby. - Wow, he still has his tongue depressor. - Wow, Danny? - Yeah. - I'm convinced of your narrative. You better, you go get a custom magnet. - Yeah, magnet time. - Magnet time, nice work, Danny, nice work. - Maybe you could put it towards your investment. - Yeah. I heard they're selling on eBay for about 49 cents pop. Something to think about. Danny, lovely talking to you. - Good to know. - Well, thank you. - Well, thank you. Okay, bye. Okay, let's talk to Josh and Siri in Chicago. Josh, Siri, are you there? - Hello. - Hello. - Hello. Are you far away from the microphone? - Oh, no. - We can get closer to it. - Is this close enough? - It's clear, but it's just a little quiet. - Oh, no. - Well, we will project as best we can. - We'll fix it in post. - Beautiful. - So, Siri and Josh, what's your, what's the dynamic here? - Married. - Okay. (laughing) - Hi, I'm Josh and this is Siri. Married. - How long have you been married? - Three and a half years. - Hey, muzzle. - Thank you. - Well, how did you meet? - Internet. - Yes. (laughing) - Look, if you tell me I'm being quiet, I need to make a lot. (laughing) Sorry, my dog started coughing. You gotta be loud and proud with one word answers. - Yeah, I think it's very good. - It's very good. (laughing) - Go on. - No, go for it, Manolo. - You have a YouTube web series? - I do, years ago I found on my family's bookshelf, a joke book from 1940 with thousands of jokes in it. So, every day I've just been recording one joke from it and I've been doing that every day since 2016. - What's it called? - So, what? - What's the web series called? - It's called Thesaurus of Humor. - Nice. - Wow, what's the biggest, what's the joke that popped off the most? - Oh, absolutely none of them. The jokes are all 80 years old and don't make any sense anymore to anybody. (laughing) - I have, can I tell you a quick little story? - Oh, okay. - I've tried that, it always fails. - Yes. - Is that, I thought it would be funny to say I ran out of jokes and then I pull out a book that I found at the stand pretty much the same kind of, it's like really thick and it's old. And so, the joke is that I flip through any random page and then I just start saying racist Asian jokes and be like, oh, this is an old book, I guess. And it never works. (laughing) - Yeah, that's the problem with old joke books. You never know what's going to happen. - A lot of misogyny. - Oh, that's the least of it. Every once in a while, there's one that is a, that gets, has a nice little pun in there. - That's better. Anyways, that was my story. - Are you, Vanilla, are you still, when was the last time you did that bit? - It's pretty old, but the last time I did it, 'cause I told you I was doing mics to prepare for the Filipino festival, I did it like a month ago, and I'm like, 'cause I was running out of jokes. - It didn't do well. (laughing) - No. - Sorry, I hear that. - I know, I've officially retired it. - Well, okay, so Josh, Siri. Siri, are you there still? - I am here. - Okay, good. Siri, you used to work at SeaWorld? - I did. I directed the sea lion Christmas special. - Whoa. - Then I would coach the animal trainers on how to project and not be scared public speaking. - Whoa. Did you, Siri, did you see that video where the orca hoops in the water and spread it everywhere? - I have not seen that video, but I have witnessed that in general just walking by the orca tanks. - Wow, do you hate orcas? Do you think orcas are heavy little orcas? - No, they're great. They're doing their thing. They're trying to get by, just like the rest of us. - So when you say you direct, is it more for the performers and less like handling the seals? - Correct, yeah. There have been other folks on the team who have thought that they can direct a sea lion, but sea lions cannot be directed. It's mainly telling the trainers, "Hi, you missed your line," or could you please speak into the microphone or pick up the pace? - They're like teenagers, those sea lions. - They are, except they rely solely on fish instead of their phone. - I do throw fish at my teenagers. - As you should. - That's good babysitter. - It gets them out of bed. - That would get me out of bed too. - Well, listen, we're glad you're both here. Now, do you wanna work together or separate? - We can work separate. - Yeah. - Okay. - Separate. - Okay. - Josh misunderstood the rules at first and thought that we had to solve a murder with whatever profession we were. - Love that. - That was his initial thought and he wanted to play together, but he realized that that wasn't what was happening. So we can play separate. - Well, unfortunately for Josh, there has been a murder, and your profession is murder solver. So you better give up that equipment and figure it out. Josh, what are you gonna do? - Okay, well, my murder solver equipment is I need to turn in my fingerprint dusting case and I need to turn in my little packet of clues that has all of the answers like when you're playing clue. So I don't have those with me. And then I can solve the murder by going around and asking nicely. - Hey. - Like, did you murder this person? - Yeah, but you know, I put a little bit more, put a little bit more intent behind it. I'll be like, so you're telling me you didn't do the murder, but I think you might have. And then, you know, try to trip them up with reverse psychology. - Oh, yeah. - That's smart. That's really smart. I think that you would do it. I think that you would do it. And I think you do have a magnet. It was really good. Okay, Siri, are you ready? - Yes. Your job is your job is dishwasher. - Okay. So I hand in my sponge and my dish soap. And I keep doing my job successfully by using boiling hot water. And just moving my hands around the dishes real fast. (laughing) - What do you do about your hands? - That's what gloves are for. - Gloves, like mittens or something. (laughing) - I didn't say I did it pleasantly. I just continued to do it. - Wow. - That's that capitalist mindset. I love it. Okay. Okay, Siri, you do get a custom magnet. - Yay. - Okay, really nice job. Both of you, congrats. - Thank you. - No, thank you. Okay. Okay. Now, Manolo, we do have a word from our sponsor. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Did you know that we have a sponsor today? Big side? - Yeah. I'm finally, we got one. - Okay. What do you think? Why don't you start us out? Give us a tone for this ad read. - Me, me, me, me, me. So we have to paraphrase this. - Yeah, just get into it. - Get into it, really good. - All right. Ahoy, matey.

You can count on, go with the most affordable of any meal kit every plate. It truly is the most affordable of any meal kit. - I just wanna just, for transparency, that was not paraphrased. That was read to a red thing. - I said, "Ohoy, matey." And then I repeated the last word phrase. I can't think while reading. - Hey, okay. Fair enough. Well, okay, did you know that every plate's fresh, pre-portioned ingredients are cheaper than groceries? So you have more money for holiday shopping, mateys. (laughing) - Our explore crowd-pleasing variety with every plate, rotating menu of more than 25 weekly recipes, including 30 minutes or less family faves, calorie smart, and veggie dishes. Probably wanna crack her. Get ready for Thanksgiving with easy sides, like apple pie crescent rolls, and sweet potato casserole. Watch out, the ship is shooting. (laughing) - Ships be shooting. - Cannon balls, cannon balls. - Uh, splash. - Did you like every plate? - Oh, I like it whenever I get it. - Yeah, what would the West say you got? - What are they called? - Casa taco dias. - Ooh. - The meat was, and it was like a meat, and it was, it's like all high-quality stuff, and it feels like someone came by with a box of groceries and you get it, and I don't know. There's something about the way they package their food that makes it fun, and it's all portioned out and stuff, so there's rarely a waste. - That's nice. Did you cook with your beloved? - Not this time. Well, she usually comes home from work late, so lately it's been just me. - And you'll cook it and have some fur when she gets home? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's home. - That's usually what happens. - That's really nice. - Yeah, and then she says, hmm, do you wish? But it's fun because I run out of things to text her while she's at work, and so this time I could be like, which of these would you like to have tonight, my dear? And then she chooses. - Oh, it's a lovely text. - Mm-hmm. You could only do so many emojis. - I get you. - Instagram reels, you know? - Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. I think that's wonderful. Well, do you want to paraphrase this call to action, or would you like me too? - I could, maybe you should because it can't be paraphrased. You have to read it word for word. - All right, what if this one is like completely, it's like I start doing scatting.

Okay, but in the meantime, we're playing our winning game from last episode called "See You Later" in a while submitted by Miranda from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I can't wait for this song. - For the record, none of it rhymes. - That's fine. - And you're just words, okay. - Don't worry about it. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) Alligator, crocodile, are two lizards for a while because they touch the ooze ♪ And they are ugly humans now ♪ ♪ They touch the ooze and they are ugly ♪ - I guess that is better. - That was so good. That was so good. - Maybe I should work on things more. - Dang, that was really, it was so good. It was kind of crazy how good it was and it rhymed. - Yeah, I forgot that there's one part that rhymed. - Dang. - Well, I'll work on it now. - Dang, I think we learned an important lesson today. - Prepare. - Whew, that's tough. Okay, okay, here's what Miranda writes. We've all seen it happen. You're trying to end a conversation so you say, "See you later, alligator," but then the person you're talking to says in a while crack a dial and you've simply got to have the last word. The player must propose a new rhyming animal sign off, example, 10-4 manicure, and then Joe or Manolo respond with one of their own. Touch grass, the bass. The game ends when one party can't come up with a sign off, the player is awarded a magnet for their effort. - Fun game. - Fun game, fun game. Let's talk to Muriel in Helena, Montana. - Hey, Muriel, do you have notes for our ad read? - Oh, yeah, it was honestly. If all news was read in that, it would be gripped the whole time. - Pirate style. - Grip, no idea where you were gonna say next. I was like, "What are these words gonna be?" So, yeah, that was good. - I had to keep them on their toes. - And I'm also playing with my husband, Aaron. He decided to join. - Oh, hi, Aaron. - Well, yeah, the ad read was spot on. - Oh, really, that's fantastic. - I could feel the taquitos in my mouth. - That's fantastic, that's the goal. - Yeah, that's good. And we have a little dog sleeping as well, and a couple of times a couple. - That's great, you're really setting a nice scene here. - It's great setting. - Oh, even outside. - It's what outside? - It's really snowy. - Oh, what? - Oh, Montana. - Montana, lower Canada. - Oh, my gosh. - Who is it over there? What should we expect? - Which, it's dry. And there's about three hours between every town. - Oh, my gosh. - It's good. We'd recommend the West Side. I would recommend the West Side of Montana. - All right, what's in the East Side? - Nothing. (laughs) - Perfect. - No offense to feeling it. Both set it together, okay, fantastic. Okay, so now do you wanna play together or separate? - Let's play separate, let's play separate. - Okay, who wants to go first? - I'll go first, I'm closer to the computer. - Okay, love that. Okay, so you go for it first, tell us. - I go. - You tell us. - Okay, I'm gonna roll you a little mole. - Hey, that's a good one. - Okay, Monola, do you have one? - No. Did I really say this one? Let's take all of us, Walrus. - Great. - Okay. Okay, keep going. Here we'll go for it. - Oh, oh yeah, yeah, it's me. Okay, gotta keep the hay sharp, eh? - Oh, okay, okay. - Go, Joe. - Oh, shoot, okay. Can't chat, you little cat. (laughing) - Like, I gotta go on the dillow. - Oh, no, come on, come on. - I'd be flying to see lion. - I don't want to talk to him. - Um, got a peel seal. - Oh, sit, um, what, I'm an, uh, dish. (laughing) Well, okay, you got me, you got me. Vereel, you got me, you got me, you did it, you did it. - You guys are killing it. - You're killing it, that was, that was challenging. And also intense, okay, so, Vereel, you did get a custom magnet for your family, but let's see if Aaron can also get one. - That was pretty intimidating. - Yeah, for real. Okay, Aaron, you ready? - Do I start? - Yeah, you start. - Okay. - Gotta go, crow. - Oh, I know you got one, you want me to go? - Yeah, you go. I got, ooh, I got one. - Okay, go for it. - No, go, go, go. I gotta, I gotta say, chow, big brown cow. - Uh oh, gorgeous. - Um, oh, I got a court date, probably, mate. - What? - What did you say, what, animal? - By mate, I guess that's me. - By mate. - Really good. Okay, you got one, Manolo, you want me to do it? - You could go, go do it. - I got the last word, lizard. - Oh. - My house is on fire, Tiger. - Okay, come on, Manolo, you got any more? - I gotta be an existential echo, you little gecko. - Oh my God, I'm so good. - I'm putting on my shoes, blues clues. - Okay. - Something that, something that rhymes with dolphin, I'm out, I'm out, Erin, you got it. You got it, you got the custom magnet for your family. - Oh my God, my heart is beating. - Of course it is, really good job, that was riveting. Thank you both, really good, really good, no thank you. Okay, now let's talk to Oliver in New York. Oliver, are you there? - Oh my God, hello. - Oliver, are you there? - Hi, can you hear me? - Yeah, what's up? - Not much, I feel like that was really intimidating. I've been trying to come up with some animals to rhyme with and I can't think of any. - Yeah, you can't think of any. - You know I've got some. - Okay, I knew you were exaggerating, I knew you had some in your back pocket, I knew it. Oliver, what's New York like right now, is it warm? - Yeah, it's really warm. - Everybody keeps talking about the drought and the fires. - Oh yeah, there's a fire. - I thought there was a fire. - How did you hear about that? - I did hear about that. - Anything else? No, that's about it, I think. It's sunny. - Yeah. - Ding. - When Danny was looking for advice you suggested that he get a Roomba with a claymore attachment. - Yeah, I mean, I think it could provide cleanliness and safety if that's what he's looking for. - Quickly vacuum up the blood. - Yeah, possibly. - Brutal. Okay, wow, wow, wow. Oliver, we don't know anything about you, except for that you're in New York. Do you wanna tell us one fun fact about you? - Sure, yeah. I'm a Jeremy Strong impersonator, sometimes. - You're a what, impersonator? - Jeremy Strong impersonator from succession. - Right, that's a fun impersonator. - What do you do? You go to events and as Jeremy Strong? - No birthday parties yet, but I do write emails from what I think would be his point of view and tone. And right now he's actually having a pretty tough time. But he's been able to rely on a lot of his friends for support, and so that's, I think, been really helpful. - Okay. - So like if we gave you a situation, you would be able to react in Jeremy Strong impression voice. - You know, I think it's mostly in the writing. I think it's in the writing. Yeah, the, you know, the impression, I'm still working on that. - Okay, great, great. I love this. The more questions we ask, the better it gets. Okay, Oliver, do you feel prepared? - It's like Jeremy Strong, that's my talent. Yeah, I feel kind of prepared. - Okay, start us off. - Okay, this is my first one. On the goal, you mow. - Okay, Minola, you got one? - Gotta buckatoo, cockatoo. Does that work? - You know, I guess so, Oliver, you got anything else? - Hmm, got a bounce. And then I couldn't think about an animal for that one. - Oh, no, don't say got a bounce then, come on. - I think I realized that you need to think of the animal first to come up with a rhyme. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - 'Cause I was working back for it. - Okay, let me think. - Okay, come on, you can do it. - Got my car towed, you towed. - Okay. - Did I miss it? - Yeah. - Okay, yeah, I like this 'cause it kind of was about finding a way to leave, but you're just talking about something that happened to you, and then I like that. - Yeah, my car got towed. - Yeah, your car got towed. Toad, Minola, do you have any others? - Yeah. Got a scrape off like an animal, your general animal, slash camel. - Damn. Okay, come on, come on. What would Jeremy Strong say, come on. - You go, okay, I'm playing some support from the chat. Oof, I'm running out of the house. I'm a mouse. - Okay, great. And I'm gonna go ahead and put us all out of our misery and say I don't have any other. So really good job, Oliver. Do you do get a cut to magnet? - Yay. - Really good job. So now, Oliver, well, we have you. What do you think you'd vote for? Again, would you wanna see "Sethoscope the Lab Coat" on my desk now? See you later in a while or dinner party? - I think I really like, see you later in a while. - Interesting, interesting, even though we all just spiral, love that. Okay, thank you, Oliver. Thank you so much for your-- - Good card game. - Thank you, Oliver. Okay, talk to you soon. Okay, let's, bye. Okay, let's talk to Jules. Jules, what are you voting for? - I'm gonna vote for dinner party. - Yeah, that's good. I like that. Thank you, Jules. - Thank you. - No, thank you. Okay, let's talk to Danny. Danny, what are you voting for? - I'm also gonna go with dinner party. - Danny! - That's cool. Thanks, Danny. - No problem. - No, you know, bro. No, thank you. Okay, Josh and Siri, what are you voting for? - I'm gonna vote for dinner party as well. - Nice. - And I'll vote for the one with the equipment for the crime. What's up, what's up? - Okay. - "Sethoscope and Lab Coat" on my desk now. - Yeah, that one. - Okay, great. With the crime. Thank you, Josh and Siri. Thank you, thank you. Okay, let's see. Eugene, what are you voting for? - My vote for, I'm gonna vote for the "Sethoscope" point. - Oh my God, incredible. This is really a nail-biter. Thank you, Eugene. Wow. Oh, wow! - You did it. - You did it, man. - He did it, he did it. Okay, let's talk to Muriel and Aaron. - Yes, I'm-- - What are you voting for? This is really, this could determine everything. - No matter, I don't know if they'll help much, but the "Sethoscope and Lab Coat" on my desk now is my vote. - Okay. - And it makes it a tie. - Aaron, I'm gonna do two votes for dinner party. - I didn't know. - Whoa! - I mean-- - Aaron, even with one vote, dinner party has won. Incredible work. - But you made it win by a landslide. - Yeah, you really did that really good. Thank you very much. What a riveting experience. Talk to you all soon. - Well, that means dinner party from Michelle, from Denver is gonna be playing next episode. It's a really nice work. - Yay. - Now, Manola, what did we learn this episode? I feel like we learned a lot. - Did we? - I think so, yeah. - You can't control a sea lion. - Yeah. Being prepared helps it-- - Oh, yes, in a measurable ways. - Yeah, we should probably prepare more, or I should. - And the value that you provide by watching teenagers is nearly priceless. - Is that value? It's more like, what do you call those? Like, not a parable, but like a story that you're supposed to learn from. - Yes. - Cautionary tale. - A cautionary tale. I love that. We learned a lot this episode. This was very good. - But what did you learn? - I learned that preparation is key and that... What else did I learn? I guess I learned that like, every single color has a pit. - That's true. - And I was like-- - That's our demographic. I think our demographic is people with pets. - Pet owners. - Pet owners. But that's kind of what I learned. And also that you've got to check out every play. So, Monola, do you want to take us away with one of your incredible tempos? - Okay, here's a tempo.
