Happy Holiday everyone! We truly hope that you and the friends and family that you spend this time of the year with are happy and healthy - celebrating the true meaning of the holidays. But maybe you are not... Maybe you're celebrating with someone who has lost sight of the reason for the season. Someone who needs their statis quo disrupted in order to appreciate what they really have. If that's the case, you better watch out, because there's a new holiday icon in town. A real, tangible pig who would love nothing more than to absolutely decimate your misguided holiday celebration. Keep an eye out for slop on your stoop - for it heralds the coming of the one and only Yule Hog.

Zach misunderstands the vampires' curse, Jared introduces a new original holiday character, and Adam reasserts his jaded view on fireworks.

Talking Points Include: A Personal Jacob Marley, Polar Bear Self Defense, Slop on the Stoop, Pandemic Vibes, Angry Birds Game Show, 1/4 of July, Dracula Can't Have Cheese, Christmas Rocket Applications, We Blast Off Again

Well folks, we've once again gone straight from Snake Day into the winter holiday celebrations, but thats just how the holiday calander shakes out sometimes. But let's not let that proximity get in the way of us fully diving into the holiday season with the most sickeningly Christmas steeped game show we may have ever done. Thats right, a Christmas themed competition game show produced BY Hallmark, FOR the Hallmark channel, with the prize being a STARING ROLL in a Hallmark Christmas movie. If you weren't in the Christmas spirit before, you best bet your baubles that you're about to be!

Zach becomes Quasimodo, Jared lives truthfully under imaginary circumstances, and Adam leans into living alone.

Talking Points Include: Our Most Popular Topic, The Harry Potter Attractiveness Scale, No Skinny Hagrids, The Eddie Episodes, Nothing but a Guitar, Ten of One Man, Yet Another Barbra Jean Appearance, An Intense Feedback Loop, Finding our Ember of Interest, Is it Cookie?

Blake Shelton is out here making a game show that is basically a commercial for his Nashville bar, where the booze is always flowing and the vibes are great. Well the Professional Contestants are gonna call you on that one, Blake. Be careful what you wish for because by the time we're done, your bar is gonna look like the aftermath of a Project X and your comically large medals will be nowhere to be seen.

Zach's favorite bar game is "Get double crossed by that scary guy in the cave," Jared's favorite bar game is "Fake your death and show up at your own funeral," and Adam's favorite bar game is "Carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain."

Talking Points Include: Road House '24, Ron DeSantis vs Public Libraries, Pointless Scoring System, Mark Cuban the BeatBox Guy, Slap The Bag 2.0, Slippery Stairs, Don't Piss Off Gwen, Most Likely to Drink On Set

Are the contestants paid? Nope. Do they donate to charities? Undetermined. Do we want the winning prize? Absolutely not. Why are we doing this game show? Because someone has to put a stop to Kevin Hart's court mandated shenanigans!

Zach actively avoids current events, Jared has the best mental attitude, and Adam's house is smaller than T-Pain's.

Talking Points Include: Tommy Lee Jones Does ALL the Voices, A Lesson in Credit, Court Mandated Wife Time, Kevin Hart does Among Us, Daniel Day-Lewis + Monkey, Pity Tennis Award, Some Basic Robbery Tactics, Welcome to the Zone

We take our first dive into the Quibi scrap pile to find… something pretty good! Leslie Jordan’s southern charm welcomes us to the cleaning competition show Squeaky Clean.

Talking Points: VIBE CHECK!!!, More Hagrid Talk And No Apologies, It Tastes Like Soda Ghost, Sorry Adam We Can’t Imagine It, Mr. Teeth is Self-Aware, Horny DNA, Patter Songs, He’s a Duck!

This week we once again find ourselves facing off with a trivia game show, which we have gone on record saying are the most difficult game shows to cheat. So in this time of need, who shall we turn to? Why, Academy Award winner and modern mummy expert Rami Malek of course.

Zach reveals the people his grandma hates, Jared has seen every Night at the Museum movie, and Adam learns to look at mummies in a new light.

Talking Points Include: Jorts Etiquette, How's The Donk?, Sweaty Meats and Cheeses, Tom Bergeron the Train Host, Wizard of Oz Lore, Challenging Mummy Stigmas

Look, we get it. When you see this big intimidating executioner in a gimp suit it can be easy to assume he is the bad guy. Seeing him force children into a tank where he pours slime on them doesn't make him the most likable fellow. But I encourage you to look past this unfortunate big son and you will see where the true evil lies, the one and only Wink Yahoo.

Zach loves Canadian game shows, Jared is tired of people overlooking Hagrid, and Adam wants to fight The Punisher.

Talking Points Include: Sympathising with the 1%, Phony Space Cowboy, Game Show Spinoffs, Olympic Mario Party Rules, The Big Son Archetype, Never Underestimate Hagrid

This is a weird one. It gets pretty wild, pretty quick. So if you wanna skip this one we’re not gonna be upset: in fact, we encourage it. This episode will either be the worst one yet or a cult classic. SPOILER ALERT: it’s probably the former. Anyway we make some good Snorlax jokes 40 minutes in so it’s not a total loss.

Zach shares some Hogan’s Heroes insights, Jared yearns for better slime, and Adam is a part of your morning routine.  

Talking Points Include: Rise and Shine and Check the Vibe, Wow! Our Worst Episode Yet!, A Hogan’s Hero Situation, Marshmallow Sandwich, Golden Age of Slime, Joseph Stalin’s Favorite Toons, George Lopez Has Betrayed Me, Everybody Loves Snorlax, Intimate Slimer 

There are many different paths a person can take to break into the film industry. For example, you could wear a lanyard and earpiece and just try to blend in with the crew. Or if that doesn't work you could put a crew member in danger of drowning and then save them. Or if that still doesn't work, you could accuse that same crew member of extortion. It pays to have backup plans, ya know?

Zach explains the origins of motel pools, Jared gets carded for non-alcoholic beverages, and Adam gives insider deets on infiltrating film sets.

Talking Points Include: Summertime Political Platforms, Roller Coaster Public Transport, Barefoot Hotel, Evolutionary Hot Tub, McDonalds Birthday, Best Off Screen Kiss, Public Domain Plans

It’s the Summer of Summers y’all! Crack open a cold one, get your butt to the water, and get ready for the HOTTEST game shows of the year. Like this one: we got 90’s Nickelodeon energy, some very stupid video games, and Al Roker is gonna fight and kill a wizard. This is the good stuff.

Zach has a Malcolm Gladwell update, Jared knows how weathermen are born, and Adam knows someone who hates wizards. 

Talking Points Include: The Spiciest Tipping Point, We Gotta Talk About The Evil Wizard, Adam’s Personal Bedtime Audiobook, We Crave Good Hosting, A True Weatherman Never Dies, Al Roker Gets The Final Blow

What's up guys!?! MrBeanFan69 here, and today I'm doing an any percent speed run of Love Actually: The Game. Now you're going to want to main Keira Knightley to start, but eventually you are going to get the Queen to knight each of your playable characters, INCLUDING Billy Bob Thornton. How does this relate to a game show you ask? Don't worry about it.

Zach predicts the next Johnny English film, Jared doesn't trust The Wheel of Fortune, and Adam fears becoming Tim Allen in a board game.

Talking Points Include: All SuperTippers go to SuperHeaven, Let’s Do Funny Bits For Adam, The Game of Life is Bad, Jumanji Rules Football, 2000s Movie Video Games, 100%-ing Love Actually

Kick back and relax folks, because it’s apparently an easy week for us. Adam Decker, Big Man on Campus, has claimed that this game show is EASY. SIMPLE. NOT A CHALLENGE FOR HIM. No need for tricks, shenanigans, or fun and wild plans, because he’s just gonna win the game show as is. But this show’s got a message for you, bub: FUKADM

Zach busts out some puns, Jared confuses his Justins, Adam has got this game show in the bag.

Talking Points Include: Politeness Traps, After You Mr. Porter, Justin and Jennifer, The True Adventures of Wink Martindale,  The Mr. Wilson Shared Universe, Not Stumped By These Bumps, Very Good Puns That Everyone Likes

Ok, we get it. Maybe we can't just climb into an aquarium and expect to automatically win a bunch of random chance games against some fish. But what if we make ourselves really tiny first? And what if one of us is scuba certified? And what if we get an octopus involved? It probably still wont work, yeah, WE KNOW. At least eating the other contestants isn't explicitly off the table this time.

Zach is tickled by the idea of a fish naming another fish, Jared reminds everyone that he is scuba certified, and Adam can't imagine Godzilla running.

Talking Points Include: All Hail The King, Godzilla Plus One, Getting Called Out Via Mail, A Televised Screen Saver, Mr. Limpet's Diplomatic Immunity, Dexterous Lips, Feeding Frenzy Friday, A Reverse Shawshank, Two Little Jareds

The one thing that everyone in America can use - for storage, for inventing, for grilling paninis - is a really good garage. Especially one that will absolutely NOT harm your parents in any way. Hi, we are three brothers just chasing the American Dream, and with the help of Tony Shalhoub, we will ensure that no parents are ever injured in garage related accidents ever again.

Zach proposes a "Good" cinematic universe , Jared defends his hatred of Dadaism, and Adam pitches an idea for peperoni underwear.

Talking Points Include: Mail Time After Dark, Vibe Check No. 1, The Nobel Prize for Oobleck, Vibe Check No. 2, Tony Shalhoub's Phone Number, Oops! All Goldbergs, Building a Better Garage, Vibe Check No. 3

Look gang, we have done 160 episodes of this podcast, so if we've done this plan before you will have to forgive us. But I mean, come on, when someone proposes adding nut kicks to a trivia game show, how can we NOT talk about it for the whole episode? We're only human.

Zach's jewelry makes slurping noises, Jared has been holding out about Jimmy Hawaii, and Adam in involved in a Westing Game.

Talking Points Include: Estate Sales, Road Couch, Phantom Slurps, The Vaudevillian Crook, Groin Kick Capital Punishment, The Golden Age of Nut Shots

Ok: Jack-Ass was on the air from 2000 to 2003. Saw debuted in 2004. You can put the rest of the puzzle together. We hate to cause drama, but it’s about time someone said something. We just want to make sure Mr. Knoxville gets credit where it’s due.

Zach compliments Jack-Ass, Jared creates a better version of The Circle, and Adam points out a flaw in dunk tanks.

Talking Points: That Night In Morocco Under the Desert Moon, Let’s Say Cruella Got Her Wish, A Nice Man in the Dunk Tank, Houdini Saw’d Himself, Classic Jackass Humor, You Guys Want to DO This Thing?!

If the story of Rumpelstiltskin can teach us anything, it's this. 1: All riddles must have finite answers. 2: All riddles can be solved by quick witted heroes. 3: All riddle askers will eventually go home, get drunk, and wildly scream the answers to their riddles. All we've gotta do is follow this riddle troll home.

Zach finds himself in the middle of a Shrek debate, Jared is the resident Humpty Dumpty expert, and Adam proposes a set of inherent riddle truths.

Talking Points Include: Making Dad Friends, Baba Yaga Transportation Methods, Classic Riddle Stories, Rumpelstiltskin's Blunders, Moderating a Humpty Debate, Shrek Polls

We once again find ourselves in a competition where we are severely outmatched by our opponents. With this one being a building competition, we're just gonna throw what we know and make a big Pinewood Derby car. Buttttt... if we happen to also perform a moving, patriotic tribute to fatherhood and the troops? Let's just say we know who Tim Allen's favorite will be.

Zach is a Pinewood Derby champion, Jared was runner up for best in show, and Adam has gotta catch em' all.

Talking Points Include: What Do Bugs Like?, Jurassic Planet, Ride or Die Frenemies, Beyoncé: From Destiny's Child, Boy Scout Engineering, Mission Accomplished, Kalefornia

Sometimes we find ourselves face to face with a game show that is clearly much too difficult for us to succeed at. So... do we buckle down, study trivia, and train our minds to be better at critical thinking? Of course not! We throw an enormous party and fabricate events that make whatever we say technically true!

Zach has a new endorsement for his comedy career, Jared once again tries to force Sherlock Holmes, and Adam gets the boys to guess what is in his hand.

Talking Points Include: The Travis Scott Aldi Cart, Saving Our Laughter for God, Gramp Stamps, Scrooge's Big Turkey Heist, The Great Goofy, A 'Max from Goof Troop' Type, Mr. Banana Attorney at Law

You may think it’s weird. King Kong is having career trouble. Didn’t he just have a movie come out? Well, that was mostly shot in 2019, and the job market for Big Monkey has been tough in Hollywood. So if you hear of any open gigs give him a call, would ya? On a different note: do you know anyone who can lift a 35,000 lb statue? We gotta move a big Bean out of the city and get it to Houston by Tuesday.

Zach wants to control the rivers, Jared has absolutely been to a Bob’s Big Boy, and Adam wants to trim the fat.

Talking Points: DIY Cameo Hollywood Squares,  Shitty Ice Road Truckers, You Can’t Have a Big Boy Without the Big Boy, Southbound and South, Up the Bean, Kaiju vs, Caillou, Yukon Cornelius Fan Fiction

Cameo has been around for a while now, but we're pretty sure no one knows how it actually works. Like if we play our cards right, we should be able to get a celebrity to unknowingly say something that legally signs their net worth over to us. And if we can remake Psych with us as the main characters in the process, well hey, that's a win-win.

Zach searches Cameo for the best deals, Jared still has extortion on the brain, and Adam retells his secondhand account of a game show disaster.

Talking Points Include: Polaroid Paparazzi, Sleepy Hands on a Hardbody, Bring Back This Show, Fernando Dance, Blowing Chunks on Wheel of Fortune, Too Much Cookies All in My Tummy, Stew Hefner

They can put into a high pressure trivia game. They can get John McEnroe to yell at us. They can even make bags of chips explode in our face. The one thing they cant do is raise dead Jared's heart rate above 0 bpm. Don't worry, we'll bring him back to life once we're done. The pope owes us one.

Zach will buy a fake hand for the pope, Jared will die and get resurrected, and Adam will shove a coupon into Jared's mouth.

Talking Points Include: Iditarod Check-In, Fixing Marathons, Bad Chair, Grandpa v Grandpa, Yet Another Weekend at Bernie's, Hype Jesus, Vatican Coupons

It's time we all acknowledge the fact that no one likes to watch other people sing karaoke. If we have to do it on national television while trying to remember specific lyrics, it's pretty much a lose-lose situation for us.  So why don't we lean into the awful and just do Free Bird ten times? Guitar solo and all. Now NO ONE is gonna have a good time.

Zach wants to complain until he gets money, Jared thinks he can learn ten songs, and Adam conducts BBQ science.

Talking Points Include: King Henry's Beef Monologues, Dreams Above Your Head, Masked Singer Watch, Jagger Notoriety, Nationalize Frasier, Hey Caroline, Free Bird x10

We love the Queer Eye guys. The things they do to change peoples' lives for the better is pretty great. But if you ask us, it's time for a change. This time, the strong man, the bearded lady, the lion tamer, the clowns, and the ring leader are coming to town. They're here to tell you that you have a gross body and shoot you out of a cannon. All things just keep getting better!

Zach is afraid of corn specifically, Jared would pay money to see Joe Biden get shot out of a cannon, and Adam is certified to operate heavy machinery.

As Americans, we may disagree about who sings the best love songs or what the best thing to see in San Francisco is. But one thing we can all agree on is that firefighters are the absolute coolest. Enjoy what may be the last episode of this podcast, as we consider leaving our current lives behind to pursue our dreams of driving big trucks, sliding down poles, and hanging out with dogs all day.

Zach wants to buy a firetruck, Jared saw some cool firefighters, and Adam defends the fire pole.

Talking Points Include: Friends 2.0 The Ross Cut, Higgins Reviews, The San Francisco Treat, The Firefighter Lifestyle, Pole vs Stairs

There's only one way that a bodybuilder like The Rock could get so strong. He must be genetically engineering super eggs from his own personal chickens. So if a normal person got their hands on one of these eggs, it would be too strong for them to even crack it. But if one man somehow was able to break that egg? He surely would be crowned the winner of whatever game show he happened to be on!

Zach thinks he knows where The Rock lives, Jared harbors egg secrets, and Adam has a bizarre photo of Zach and Jared.

Talking Points Include: Homemade White Claw, Real Life Iron Man, Learning About Ireland Jared's First Law of Game Shows, Rent-A-Referee, Mike Wazowski's Basketball Career, Excalibur Egg, The Gaston Diet, Dirt Gnome

We've never really been huge fans of anime. It's just so mainstream, you know? Disney and Pixar are always winning best anime film at the Oscars every year and it all feels the same. Some of those classic characters might be worth something though, and cosplaying as everyone's favorite anime character, Tow Mater, is just what we need to gaslight a group of game show contestants and win a bunch of money.

Zach gets duped by TikTok, Jared wants a very specific birthday gift, and Adam ponders the limits of Cameo.

Talking Points Include: The Charli Drink Fiasco, Anniversary Blend Bean Stink, Jimmy Carter's Parrot, Who Is Daddy?, Redneck Dracula, Mater Suit Joyride

We've been on a bit of a stinker streak with our game show choices lately and you know what, we're just sick of it. So for the first half of the episode, we're just gonna try out a bunch of openings, and for the second half we ponder important questions such as, "What might the view be like from the back of The Hollywood Squares?" Riveting stuff.

Zach informs us about a wild new sport, Jared wants to see the butts, and Adam is looking for a Tennessee Williams style reality show. 

Talking Points Include: Jared's Decaf Adventure, Dunkin Sugar Attack, Football Furniture, Merv Griffin's Perfect Birthday, Noises Off The Game Show, Best Backstage Drama, Mark's Secret, A Real Bad Callback

You know this guy Bobcat? He's a rude and rowdy dude who needs a taste of his own medicine. We know exactly where to source that medicine from. And remember, if you like this episode, just clap and hoot and holler as much as you want. The very accurate applause-o-meter will let us know.

Segment music written and recorded by friend of the show Andrew Stewart - @andrewishuman on Twitter.

Zach despises applause-o-meters, Jared introduces a new format for tiebreakers, and Adam and Jerry Seinfeld are kindred spirits.

The Jaws Effect: an idea that an imposing yet unseen mysterious force is driving much of the plot and actions in a movie. It makes it that much more impactful when that force is finally revealed. Now imagine that force is Kevin James, and the movie is called Here Comes The Boom. Apply to literally any movie plot, and you've got yourself a winner.

Zach gets confused by a TikTok trend, Jared makes an attempt at true professionalism, and Adam is convinced that jockeys are prepared to kill their horse.

Look, this ain't that fake pro wrastlin' BS you see on tv. This is the real deal, where enormous men are paid money to punch you, kick you, and prevent your success. So for assistance, we are turning to the one thing in the building that we feel that we can identify with. No, it's none of the human beings, but do you see that snake over there?

Zach explains British slang, Jared devises a Federal Wrestling Project, and Adam attempts to flex his limited knowledge of pro wrestling.

Talking Points Include: Sledding Stunts, Boxer Based Public Transportation, Referee Shorts, Wrestling Relief Programs, Dementor's Kiss, The Rude Dude Bubba King, Crunch of the Night, Under The Dome, Snake Hypnosis

Lets crunch the numbers. We got Monopoly, a board game that everyone knows but no one really likes. We got a half hour span of tv air time in 1990. Put those hands together and you have a pretty boring game show that we don't really want to talk about all that much. Result: 20+ minutes of Willy Wonka discussion and some personal takes on capitalism to boot.

Zach discovers a Mouse Trap game show, Jared knows too much about the second Wonka book, and Adam spins up some impromptu board game trivia.

Talking Points Include: Wonka Talk, The Four Deaths of Merv Griffin, Fixing Presidential Pardons, Sexy Theme Song, Webopoly, Flash Videos, Bad Board Game Varieties, That's Monopoly Baby Bop

After one-hundred and forty-three episodes, we like to think of ourselves as some of the foremost experts on game shows on this great planet of ours. Therefore, it is about time we start to put that knowledge to good use, and submit our method of classifying game shows to be published in academic journals. We present to you, The Movie Mouse Morality Chart! Oh, and we do one for game shows too.

I'm gonna be totally up front with you. We read Wikipedia articles for a good portion of this one. But we have to do our research since we're training to become the world's greatest detective.

Zach imagines Reba as our only client, Jared hates Guess Who, and Adam prepares to become a sexy Sherlock.

Talking Points Include: Dynamite Tremendous, Reba Fans, Tony Hawk's Big Spin, The Slammer, Subjective Guess Who, Dating Sherlock Holmes In The Modern Era

Shaquille O'Neal is a man who thinks highly of himself. So much so that he created a television show dedicated to him challenging the world's best individuals in every field to competitions in their area of expertise. He rarely, if ever emerges victorious, but we still think he needs to be knocked down a peg or two. Watch out Shaq, The Professional Contestants are about to give you a taste of your own medicine.

Zach will beat Shaq in an acting competition, Jared will beat Shaq in a graduate school competetion, and Adam will beat Shaq in a DJing competition.

The World is always telling you "No." No, you can’t come into the factory without a Golden Ticket. No, you can’t chew that bubble gum or you’ll turn into a blueberry. Get off of that camera Mike, or you’re gonna get zapped into the TV. In a world full of “No’s”, only one body wash is brave enough to say “Yes, go ahead and shove yourself face first into that chocolate river.”

Zach thinks of James Bond ice cream flavors, Jared wants to meet a Geico mascot, and Adam comes up with a killer slogan.

When it comes to music trivia, it's safe to say we know a thing or two, and we know more than just current pop music. For example, did you know that way back when the pop charts first started, the first song to top two charts simultaniously was the mega hit "Banging Hot Rocks?"
