00:00:00Get ready for a game changer tonight's guests.
00:00:10He'll charm the mom out of you.
00:00:12It's Jacob Wysocki.
00:00:14If you're a mom, I love you.
00:00:17Preeminent Evelyn Tucci scholar, Vic Michaelis.
00:00:21Oh, they're ready to go.
00:00:23I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:00:24Dangerous, dangerous.
00:00:25And 3, 2, 1, come.
00:00:27It's Lou Wilson.
00:00:31It was me the whole time.
00:00:34And your host to me.
00:00:36I've been here the whole time.
00:00:39This is Game Changer, the only game show where
00:00:42the game changes every show.
00:00:43I am your host, Sam Reich.
00:00:45I am joined today by these three lovely contestants now.
00:00:50You all understand how the game works.
00:00:52Come on, man.
00:00:53Never did, never will.
00:00:54Sam, you know what's up, baby.
00:00:55That's right.
00:00:55Our players have no idea what game it is they're about to play.
00:00:58The only way to learn is by playing.
00:01:01The only way to win is by learning.
00:01:02And the only way to begin is by beginning.
00:01:04So without further ado, let's begin.
00:01:06Players, welcome to the Game Changer Intelligence Agency.
00:01:10The season six, we shot Sam Says 3 this morning.
00:01:16Lou is still drunk on champagne.
00:01:19I've been chugging coffee, trying to feel normal.
00:01:22But you know, hard to break a habit.
00:01:25Ash, if you could please bring out the dossiers.
00:01:30Thank you, Ash.
00:01:31Thank you, Ash.
00:01:32Players, inside each of those dossiers,
00:01:35you will find 15 challenges.
00:01:38To accomplish those challenges, you have one year.
00:01:46On your mark, get set, go.
00:01:49You're an absolute bastard.
00:01:53I'm still drunk.
00:01:54Oh, my fucking God.
00:01:57Collect the most locks of people's hair we have.
00:02:01What?
00:02:02What number is that?
00:02:03The last one.
00:02:03Dude, I'm pissed, dude.
00:02:14Would you look at the time?
00:02:16Please welcome back to the stage, Jacob Wysocki,
00:02:19Vic Michaelis, and Lou Wilson.
00:02:23Hi, Sam.
00:02:25I don't think I've ever been more out of the loop
00:02:28as to what a Game Changer episode is about to be.
00:02:32Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
00:02:34I don't know what's going on.
00:02:37Well, I'll start off.
00:02:38I got you something.
00:02:39Just a little thank you for thinking of me.
00:02:41This is so ominous.
00:02:43Just hold onto that.
00:02:44So ominous.
00:02:45Did you feel that as well when they were standing
00:02:47next to each other for a second?
00:02:48It was kind of like.
00:02:48Who's who?
00:02:49But I guess Elfin in the room, it's
00:02:50been a crazy fucking year, Sam.
00:02:52Yeah, if I knew I was going to be performing
00:02:54at Madison Square Garden, I would not be here.
00:02:59Then, after a regular shit ton of ado, let's begin.
00:03:04Your first challenge, who can make the best outfit
00:03:09to wear to the taping a year from now?
00:03:12Jacob, we'll start with you.
00:03:14Yeah, I'll just go ahead and just kind of flaunt it.
00:03:16Oh, hit it.
00:03:17Fucking get him.
00:03:18Hit it.
00:03:19Oh, shit.
00:03:20Be a little sneaky, like you know something
00:03:22that we don't know.
00:03:23Sam, you wish you wore it this good, man.
00:03:25I swear, dude.
00:03:26Honestly, it's a little upsetting.
00:03:28You know, it's no animal shirt.
00:03:30And there's a bit of me that feels kind of naked.
00:03:32And that's vulnerability.
00:03:33And that's what you want, because you're sick.
00:03:36Vic, what is happening here?
00:03:39As you can see, I'm also dressed as Sam.
00:03:44This outfit is paying homage to the giant squid.
00:03:48It is all handmade.
00:03:50Gorgeous.
00:03:51Let's give it up for the tentacles.
00:03:52Is there something that the giant squid means to you?
00:03:55No, thank you.
00:03:56I mean.
00:03:59Lou, from where I'm standing, this
00:04:01doesn't yet look like much.
00:04:03The outfit I'm wearing today, it exists in three parts.
00:04:06Past, present, and future.
00:04:08We'll begin with the past.
00:04:10A wristwatch, hand crank.
00:04:11The strap is custom made with the initial words
00:04:15from most Game Changer episodes.
00:04:16I've been here.
00:04:17And then what every watch captures, the whole time.
00:04:20This is an I've been here the whole time piece.
00:04:23Wow.
00:04:24Next, I'll provide a representation,
00:04:26an homage, to the present.
00:04:32I put forward my body.
00:04:36While it cannot be said that the mind ever
00:04:37truly lives in the present, the body
00:04:39is the vessel through which we experience
00:04:41every present moment.
00:04:42And then Sam, I would ask that you, with that phone there,
00:04:44bring on the future.
00:04:46What?
00:04:47Right now, my outfit exists for Sam on this phone
00:04:50in augmented reality.
00:04:52Please don't laugh at me, because I'm standing
00:04:53naked in a room full of people.
00:04:54But I'm wearing a sick outfit.
00:04:56It's super sick and from the future.
00:04:57I can confirm that it's freaking sick.
00:05:01Unbelievable.
00:05:02Unreal.
00:05:03Lou, for sheer innovation alone,
00:05:05we are going to say three points for you.
00:05:08Vic, I'm going to say two points for you.
00:05:11Jacob, one point for you.
00:05:14Wild to learn that that's how the points are working.
00:05:17That's tough, man.
00:05:18I guess we're going to move on.
00:05:19Yeah, we live in a modern world.
00:05:21And I guess you can't be naked all the time.
00:05:23I was excited.
00:05:24The fans would be too.
00:05:25That's more than $5 a month, you know?
00:05:27That's a different paywall.
00:05:28That brings us to our next challenge.
00:05:31Who can take the most impressive celebrity selfie?
00:05:35Lou, we'll start with you.
00:05:37Sam, you know I interact with a lot of celebrities
00:05:39in my day-to-day life.
00:05:40As the on-air announcer for Jimmy Kimmel Live,
00:05:43the number of celebrities that came through
00:05:46who I was like, ooh, maybe.
00:05:48And then I would walk downstairs to the green room
00:05:51and I would just have a light anxiety attack
00:05:55and be like, I never will ask the next one.
00:05:57Well, especially as a part of your job.
00:05:59That's kind of tough.
00:06:00So I ended up calling on the number one sidekick
00:06:05for ABC's hit late night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live,
00:06:08Guillermo Rodriguez.
00:06:10That's a great photo.
00:06:12You guys are really funny.
00:06:13Good job, buddy.
00:06:14Next up, Jacob.
00:06:15I think I got a picture with the biggest celebrity of all.
00:06:19And that is with our brave firefighters.
00:06:23A male nurse.
00:06:23Wow.
00:06:25And my best friend, Kurt Maloney.
00:06:27These are the people that should be famous.
00:06:30Now, if I don't give you points, I look like an asshole.
00:06:33Who do you support and what are your values in ethics?
00:06:36Sam, I'm so sorry.
00:06:37Can I ask a clarification question?
00:06:38Yes.
00:06:39Was it celebrity's selfie?
00:06:40Celebrity selfie.
00:06:41It's not plural?
00:06:42Correct.
00:06:43Oh, interesting.
00:06:44That's insane.
00:06:45Celebrity selfie.
00:06:46I don't know.
00:06:46Sam, do not listen to this weird, all right?
00:06:50Vic.
00:06:51We can just do the photo.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54Vic, who is this?
00:06:56Sam, are you serious?
00:06:57Yes, I'm sorry.
00:06:58I don't know who this is.
00:06:58Go to the next one.
00:06:59Yeah, there.
00:07:01That's embarrassing.
00:07:01You got a lot happier.
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:04If I'm supposed to know who this is,
00:07:05I actually don't know who this is.
00:07:06Are you serious?
00:07:07Does everybody know who this is?
00:07:08Oh my God, Sam, do the next photo.
00:07:09Does that answer your question?
00:07:11Sam, do you know what's going on now?
00:07:13What do you think that is?
00:07:14Is this Evelyn fucking Tucci?
00:07:17No, it's Marilyn Groggins,
00:07:19Walter Groggins' paternal grandmother.
00:07:22Beloved character actor.
00:07:23She loves cooking.
00:07:24She did the intro for Stanley's cookbook.
00:07:27It's the mother of-
00:07:29Beloved performer, Walter Groggins.
00:07:31By Walter Groggins, you mean Walton Goggins?
00:07:35So I was like, is that who you meant?
00:07:39The guy from Fallout.
00:07:40Big teeth, big teeth.
00:07:41That is outrageous.
00:07:42I am gonna say two points for Lou,
00:07:45one point for Jacob for making me feel guilty,
00:07:48and one point away from Vic Michaelis
00:07:50for bringing this back after four episodes.
00:07:55That's illegal.
00:07:56I honestly didn't think that that was possible.
00:07:58It is fun to be learning new rules.
00:08:00Next up, who can bring in the coolest free item
00:08:05from a Craigslist post?
00:08:07Lou, we'll once again start with you.
00:08:09I found a jet ski.
00:08:11Oh my God!
00:08:14There it is.
00:08:15Okay.
00:08:15She's gorgeous.
00:08:16How on earth was this free?
00:08:18Well, they had been left
00:08:20in a storage locker in Long Beach.
00:08:22So I hopped in a U-Haul with two of my friends.
00:08:24We drove down there, loaded her up, brought her back,
00:08:27and then I was able to reupholster it
00:08:29and fix her up a bit.
00:08:30Definitely spiffed up.
00:08:31Yeah.
00:08:32I love that.
00:08:33Objectively, a jet ski is a very cool item.
00:08:35There it is.
00:08:36Jacob.
00:08:37A jet ski is a motorcycle for the water.
00:08:41I tried to get a real motorcycle.
00:08:44Oh!
00:08:45Now, baby.
00:08:46Damn, Jay is my baby.
00:08:49That looks like a very cool motorcycle.
00:08:53It started with the Craigslist post.
00:08:55Yeah.
00:08:56I'm getting rid of my husband's motorcycle.
00:08:58We got a baby on the way and it's just too dangerous now.
00:09:01So I called Jenna.
00:09:03Then go ahead and read what Jenna said.
00:09:04Thanks for talking with me, Jason.
00:09:06I have been very busy and nervous about the baby
00:09:09and been doing so much.
00:09:10It was nice to have someone ask how I am feeling.
00:09:13Sorry if my crazy ass talked too long, lol.
00:09:17Let's go ahead and show the next slide.
00:09:18This was a 42 minute phone call
00:09:21that I had with expecting mother, Jenna.
00:09:23She was afraid that her husband would be mad
00:09:26that the bike was gone.
00:09:27So she wanted me to pick it up when he was not home.
00:09:29Oh, whoa.
00:09:30The only caveat is I don't know how to drive a motorcycle.
00:09:35So I signed up for motorcycle classes,
00:09:39passed the course,
00:09:40and now I have a class M1 motorcycle license.
00:09:44Jake!
00:09:45Was able to pick up the bike, met Jenna,
00:09:47had a lovely chat,
00:09:48tried to get out of there as soon as I could.
00:09:51So Jake, you got a motorcycle and a motorcycle license.
00:09:55And maybe I'm the godfather of Jenna's kid.
00:09:59Who knows?
00:10:00That's a really cute and very sweet story.
00:10:01I love that.
00:10:02Sam, you know what's cooler than a jet ski?
00:10:05What?
00:10:06Two fucking jet skis.
00:10:08No, dude!
00:10:10No way!
00:10:11Wait a second!
00:10:13Fuck!
00:10:14Second!
00:10:15Fuck!
00:10:16There it is.
00:10:17This one says C-LU, sex on it.
00:10:20I mean, we all know what C-Dews lead to.
00:10:24Can I just get confirmation
00:10:25that you picked up two jet skis
00:10:27and then held back on one?
00:10:28In order to make the second one pop?
00:10:29Hell yeah.
00:10:31Wow.
00:10:33Okay.
00:10:34I just wanted something that I thought would be like,
00:10:35kind of lovely and kind of whimsical.
00:10:38And then I came across this.
00:10:46Gizmo has been with me since I was five years old.
00:10:51You have one of these?
00:10:52And went missing a number of months ago.
00:10:55Holy sweet.
00:10:56Wait, what?
00:10:57You!
00:10:58Can we bring out the next item?
00:11:00No, you hold onto this.
00:11:01Seriously.
00:11:02Oh my God.
00:11:03I didn't know yours was missing.
00:11:03You take that.
00:11:04Thank you so much.
00:11:05And then I found this.
00:11:06How cute is this?
00:11:07What is that?
00:11:08That is a birthday card from my aunt.
00:11:10Sam, you have one of these too?
00:11:11I do.
00:11:12I'm gonna let you hold onto that.
00:11:14Thank you so much.
00:11:14And you found these things on Craigslist for free?
00:11:17No, these were not Craigslist posts.
00:11:19This was the Craigslist post.
00:11:21Can you please bring out my last item?
00:11:24I got a house.
00:11:25Congratulations.
00:11:26Thank you so much.
00:11:27Incredible.
00:11:28Thank you so much.
00:11:30So maybe I can put this one sort of like,
00:11:32I mean, it's not a jet ski, it's not a motorcycle,
00:11:34but maybe we just sort of.
00:11:36Oh man, how exciting.
00:11:38So these are my keys.
00:11:39Those are our spare keys.
00:11:41Who are you talking about?
00:11:42I'm gonna guess that this is a deed to my home.
00:11:46Sam, it's a deed to my home.
00:11:49Wow!
00:11:49You forged my signature.
00:11:52Actually, if you take a look,
00:11:53we did this beautiful shoot
00:11:54in Architectural Digest last month.
00:11:56Oh, wow.
00:11:57It's just stunning.
00:11:58Oh, you look so good in that home.
00:12:00You!
00:12:01It just is like, lovely.
00:12:02This does make it look an awful lot like
00:12:05you also took my wife.
00:12:06Is your wife in this small print, Sam?
00:12:08No, it seems like that was entirely voluntary,
00:12:11which is more hurtful.
00:12:15That is going to be three points for Lou,
00:12:18two points for Jacob,
00:12:20and another point away from Vic for robbing my home.
00:12:23Sam!
00:12:24You left me on my own for too long!
00:12:27You gotta actually play the game!
00:12:29I need boundaries.
00:12:30Vic, the good news is there's nowhere to go but up
00:12:33from here.
00:12:33I love that attitude for you.
00:12:35Thank you so much.
00:12:37Gorgeous.
00:12:38Whoa, okay.
00:12:40Okay.
00:12:41Ears.
00:12:42A smaller squid head with ears.
00:12:45That's weird.
00:12:46Moving right along.
00:12:47Who can keep the sourdough starter alive?
00:12:52For context, we supplied players with sourdough starter.
00:12:54All they had to do was keep it alive for a year.
00:12:58Now, we made sourdough bread with each of your starters.
00:13:03Jake, I will taste yours first.
00:13:05Now, you've had some experience with this.
00:13:08Yes, I have to admit,
00:13:08I did a little bit of a pandemic sourdough baking.
00:13:12In vogue at the time.
00:13:13And an elephant never forgets,
00:13:14so I know how to take care of this.
00:13:16Jake, I'll go ahead and taste your bread.
00:13:19Oh, yeah.
00:13:20Gorgeous!
00:13:22Yeah, look at that.
00:13:22Amazing.
00:13:24Oh, you don't even need butter.
00:13:26I love that crunch.
00:13:27It was well-baked as well.
00:13:28I'll give it to him.
00:13:29I don't want to stop.
00:13:30Save your appetite.
00:13:30Yeah, you got a lot more bread to eat.
00:13:32Delicious.
00:13:33Lou?
00:13:34I haven't opened this since you gave it to me.
00:13:36I was too busy building sick future clothes
00:13:39and having sex on the back of my jet ski.
00:13:41So, I truly have not opened this.
00:13:43Oh, God.
00:13:44Oh, God.
00:13:45Oh, dude.
00:13:46Oh!
00:13:47It's like if skin was in skin water.
00:13:48Yes, there's like a layer of-
00:13:50We gotta stop talking about it.
00:13:51Movement.
00:13:52We gotta stop talking about it.
00:13:53Moving on.
00:13:54Moving on.
00:13:55Yeah.
00:13:56That is really, really gross.
00:13:58Oh!
00:13:59I'm afraid to ask, may I have Lou's bread, please?
00:14:03Sam, I'm so sorry, but due to health concerns,
00:14:05we couldn't make that bread.
00:14:07Jacob, look away.
00:14:07We're just gonna scoop out a little bit of this.
00:14:09No!
00:14:10Come on, come on, man.
00:14:11Have a little bit.
00:14:12Come on.
00:14:13No!
00:14:13Just a little bit.
00:14:14Just a little bit of skin.
00:14:15This was not in here a year ago.
00:14:19Oh, my God.
00:14:20Everyone's being very rude right now.
00:14:22It raised my body temperature.
00:14:24Yes.
00:14:25Vic.
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:26That looks like it's sand.
00:14:28Why would you give me sand to try and sabotage me?
00:14:30If you gaslight me for a third time this episode,
00:14:34these point counters can't go into the negatives, Vic.
00:14:37They technically can't.
00:14:38I think you should just try it
00:14:39before you pass any judgment, okay?
00:14:42If I could please have Vic's bread.
00:14:46Now that's sand.
00:14:47That is 100% sand.
00:14:50Ash, that you've been forced to do this
00:14:52is an indignity to you.
00:14:54Thank you, Ash.
00:14:55Feels like little rocks.
00:14:56Tastes like.
00:15:00Tastes like little rocks, Vic.
00:15:02That's so weird.
00:15:02Maybe some sand got in there.
00:15:05That is three points for Jacob
00:15:06and zero points for either of you.
00:15:08That's hard to hear.
00:15:09Next up, who can bring the Sam standee
00:15:13to the most remote location?
00:15:16Our players were provided with a life-size standee of me.
00:15:20Yes, Sam.
00:15:21How far did you get with your standee?
00:15:23That was not the prompt.
00:15:24Who can bring the Sam standee
00:15:27to the most remote location?
00:15:30And there are 400 remotes there.
00:15:34Is that 400 for sure?
00:15:35For sure.
00:15:35I cannot believe you spent so much effort on this.
00:15:40I can't wait to see how many remotes
00:15:42these two took photos with.
00:15:44Jacob, roll that beautiful bean footage.
00:15:47How you doing, buddy?
00:15:48Feeling comfy?
00:15:50Oh, play some cool road music.
00:15:52Go get it, okay, go get it, okay, go get it, okay.
00:15:57We're in the middle of fucking nowhere.
00:15:59Cerro Gordo, only accessible by a four-by-four car
00:16:02on a dirt road.
00:16:04Used to be a bustling mining town in the 1860s,
00:16:07but is now abandoned.
00:16:09There's only one person who lives there
00:16:11and he's a chill dude named Frank.
00:16:13Hey, Jacob.
00:16:14That said that we could come on down
00:16:15and I do hope us get Sam underground.
00:16:19Is there anything more remote than being under the earth?
00:16:23I don't think so.
00:16:24All right, Sam, here we are at the Union Mine
00:16:26here at Cerro Gordo.
00:16:27Sam, this is gonna be your final resting spot.
00:16:29900 feet underground.
00:16:31I can't think of a more remote spot than that.
00:16:33Au revoir, au revoir.
00:16:35Getting all the way to the bottom takes over 45 minutes,
00:16:37like almost an hour.
00:16:38It's as dark as dark gets.
00:16:40It's as quiet as quiet gets.
00:16:41It's like sensitory deprivation.
00:16:44There you are, Sam, as deep as it gets.
00:16:48Wow, Jake!
00:16:51Hey, have it.
00:16:52I don't know how to feel about the fact
00:16:53that there is now an effigy of me
00:16:55at the bottom of this ghost town.
00:16:57You'll have to go sometime.
00:16:58Lou, the person behind my camera,
00:17:00do you know where in the world is 1,000 kilometers
00:17:04from the nearest continent
00:17:05and has no native human population?
00:17:09I do not.
00:17:10Well, it's Antarctica.
00:17:12There you are.
00:17:14This is actually Antarctica.
00:17:17That is actually Antarctica.
00:17:18And in fact, you're actually still there.
00:17:19How did you get me there?
00:17:21I was actually at a show with these two
00:17:24when I met a person named Devin Reed,
00:17:26and Devin was the head chef
00:17:28at McMurdo Station on Antarctica.
00:17:30And so I found him on Instagram.
00:17:31I DM'd him.
00:17:32I said, could we send a standee to Antarctica?
00:17:35And he said, hell yes.
00:17:37I took you to the local post office.
00:17:39You arrived safely,
00:17:40and they gave you a little tour of the mountainside.
00:17:42If I may interject,
00:17:44Cerro Gordo doesn't get mail.
00:17:46Antarctica, there's like 14 to 20 airports there.
00:17:49If I may add,
00:17:50there's only like four remotes tops in Antarctica.
00:17:53I'm glad you spoke.
00:17:54Yes.
00:17:55Wow.
00:17:56Incredible efforts, players.
00:17:58I am going to say three points for Lou.
00:18:01This is bullshit.
00:18:02Two points for that incredible package.
00:18:05You're wrong, is the problem.
00:18:06The problem is, is that you're wrong.
00:18:08And another point away from Vic,
00:18:10bringing Vic to negative one point,
00:18:12which we will have to visual effect
00:18:15in order to make possible.
00:18:16Get egged.
00:18:17No one lives underground, Sam.
00:18:20There are no denizens under the earth,
00:18:23my dude, politely.
00:18:25You just got two points.
00:18:27They're having to be-
00:18:28I deserve three.
00:18:28Take it inside, fine.
00:18:30Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:18:32Congrats, Lou.
00:18:33Hey, thanks, man.
00:18:34Next up.
00:18:34Who can make the best selling piece of dropout merch?
00:18:39I'll be back.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:41See ya.
00:18:41No idea where they're going.
00:18:43Our players worked hand in hand
00:18:45with our merch department,
00:18:46shout out to Randy,
00:18:47to design and fabricate a piece of merch
00:18:49specifically for this contest.
00:18:53Jake, what did you come up with?
00:18:55I chose to make a piece of merch
00:18:57based on my favorite moment
00:18:58that I've gotten to have here at Dropout.
00:19:00I love that, Jake.
00:19:02Which, of course, is me going Super Saiyan.
00:19:04Is that all you got?
00:19:05Saiyan!
00:19:09That's my shirt, and that's my spiel,
00:19:10and amen, and God bless.
00:19:13All right.
00:19:15Lou.
00:19:16I created the Kingston Brown limited edition plushie.
00:19:20There he is.
00:19:21And dare I ask, Lou,
00:19:22what makes this limited edition?
00:19:24Does he have them on him?
00:19:25Or did we give them all away?
00:19:26Oh, no, he's got them.
00:19:27Each one came with a heart-shaped piece
00:19:31of the hair I had on my head a year ago.
00:19:35This is your actual hair.
00:19:37Genuinely my actual hair.
00:19:39So, enjoy!
00:19:43A clone of you is gonna get birthed
00:19:44out of the vagina of a sheep.
00:19:45Don't put that on me!
00:19:47Next up is Vic, who is not on stage.
00:19:50Come on through!
00:19:51Hi, everybody, come on in.
00:19:53Please welcome Simone, Mark, and Steve.
00:19:55Hi, everybody.
00:19:57Hi, Simone, Mark, and Steve.
00:19:58Simone, Mark, and Steve,
00:19:59please make yourselves at home on this set.
00:20:02So, my merch was,
00:20:04I did a Willy Wonka-style pin contest.
00:20:07So, there were three winners
00:20:08who got a tour of Dropout Studios.
00:20:10We just did that tour.
00:20:11This is Sam's dressing room.
00:20:13He put this star on himself.
00:20:14And do you guys wanna come in?
00:20:15Does he have his, like, wallet in here?
00:20:17He doesn't, I wish.
00:20:18Are each of these people in from out of state, Vic?
00:20:21We have Simone from Michigan,
00:20:23Mark is from Pennsylvania,
00:20:25and Steve is from Connecticut.
00:20:27Let me meet each of you, please.
00:20:29Yes, please, please, please.
00:20:30Nice to meet you, Sam.
00:20:30So nice to meet you.
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:32So nice to meet you.
00:20:33Welcome.
00:20:34Wonderful to meet you.
00:20:35So, we actually have gifts for all of you.
00:20:36Oh, they're cool!
00:20:37Dropout swag.
00:20:38We're so happy that you're here
00:20:39and you got to be a part of this episode, genuinely.
00:20:41Thank you so much for coming all the way out.
00:20:43It means the world.
00:20:44It means the world to us, too.
00:20:45Yeah, thank you.
00:20:46Thank you so much.
00:20:47Truly, thank you.
00:20:48Incredible.
00:20:49Simone, Mark, and Steve, everybody.
00:20:50Wow.
00:20:52Players, this was a nail-biter.
00:20:55Lou offered something limited edition,
00:20:58and they sold out after three hours.
00:21:01So, what we did is cut the challenge off after three hours
00:21:06and judged it based on who made the most money
00:21:10in those three hours.
00:21:12After three hours?
00:21:13Seems fair to me.
00:21:14Seems, no.
00:21:15Lou, you sold 100 plushes for $40,
00:21:20and in three hours, made $4,000.
00:21:25Jacob, in that same time,
00:21:26you sold 326 Ts for $29,
00:21:32and made $9,454.
00:21:35In three hours?
00:21:37Vic.
00:21:38I can't even do this.
00:21:39In that same time, you sold 807 pins for $15,
00:21:45and made $12,105.
00:21:49Yeah, it's fair to cut it off.
00:21:53I believe there's an objection,
00:21:54so we should probably strike the numbers.
00:21:56There's an objection that needs to be followed through.
00:21:58That's just my thought.
00:21:59It's going to be three points for Vic,
00:22:02bringing them to two.
00:22:03It is going to be two points for Jacob
00:22:06and one point for Lou.
00:22:08Next up, who can get the silliest vanity license plate?
00:22:13We will now cut to a live view of the parking lot.
00:22:17Whoa!
00:22:19What?
00:22:20Hey, everybody.
00:22:21Welcome to The Piss, LA's premier bug bar.
00:22:25Oh my God.
00:22:26This is a bar for bugs called The Piss.
00:22:29Here's the bathroom.
00:22:31Oh my God.
00:22:32And what appears to be a little bit of doo-doo in the toilet.
00:22:35Jake, this is a work of art.
00:22:37Thank you so much.
00:22:38And we can pan over from the bathroom into the main hall.
00:22:41Of course, we have a beetle bartender
00:22:44serving all of his beautiful patrons.
00:22:46The best thing about The Piss
00:22:47is that it is a premier rock and roll venue.
00:22:50Hell yeah.
00:22:51These are some bugs rocking with their cock out.
00:22:55It's The Piss, baby.
00:22:57Vic.
00:22:58My favorite animal is...
00:22:59Oh, horses.
00:23:00Horses, for sure.
00:23:01Not a squid?
00:23:02We had this idea, hold your horses, right?
00:23:05So that is...
00:23:06Hold your whore.
00:23:09It's hold your horses.
00:23:10We just missed the H
00:23:12and then we sort of had to economize it
00:23:13and then whore for horses.
00:23:15The horse is not a letter?
00:23:16The horse is not a letter, no.
00:23:17But it does have real hair.
00:23:18We wanted texture.
00:23:19It really is whipping in the wind.
00:23:20It's giving a carefree whimsy
00:23:22that I hope the rest of the plate is giving off.
00:23:23Lou?
00:23:24I wanted to do something silly.
00:23:26Emphasis on the jokes, if I do say so myself.
00:23:31So here we are.
00:23:33I'm the Joker.
00:23:35It was a thing of like, people were like,
00:23:37oh, is it like Jacker?
00:23:39So I thought if I brought the whole car into it,
00:23:42it would be really clear.
00:23:43So if we could zoom out and show the vehicle itself.
00:23:46So yeah, I've been driving around in this for four months.
00:23:50What?
00:23:51Yeah, it's a Joker themed wrap.
00:23:54I found some guys in Westwood.
00:23:57I sent them a picture of a toy Joker car
00:23:59and they said, yeah, we could do that
00:24:01on your Honda Civic Hybrid with 110,000 miles.
00:24:06This is crazy.
00:24:07The front is white with red trim,
00:24:10just like that classic Joker smile.
00:24:14No, no.
00:24:17Yeah, and fun fact, during this year,
00:24:19I moved to a new neighborhood with new neighbors.
00:24:24And I'll tell you what's parked right out front.
00:24:26This motherfucker.
00:24:27Wow.
00:24:29Way to go above and beyond.
00:24:31I do think that the silliest of these is objectively piss.
00:24:36And so I'm gonna say three points for Jacob.
00:24:39Two points for that incredible wrap.
00:24:43I'll take four.
00:24:45And one heartfelt point.
00:24:48Okay, interesting.
00:24:49I hear you and I'm taking the note and I'm listening.
00:24:51Next up, who can create the coolest voicemail greeting?
00:24:57Surprised a lot of me.
00:24:59What is happening?
00:25:00Whoa.
00:25:01I didn't have scissors involved, I can tell you that.
00:25:02Jake, in the meanwhile, this is your go first.
00:25:04You know what?
00:25:05Just roll the beautiful bean footage.
00:25:07Hey, this is Jacob Wysocki.
00:25:08I can't come to the phone right now.
00:25:10Leave a message after the tone.
00:25:12Wow.
00:25:34Woo.
00:25:35That's one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
00:25:37It was intoxicating.
00:25:41Vic, you are looking more and more
00:25:43like Vic McKay-less all the time.
00:25:44Me?
00:25:45Hey.
00:25:46Oh, that's amazing.
00:25:47There's my friend.
00:25:48Lou, I think you're up next.
00:25:49Yes.
00:25:49Hi, you've reached Lou Wilson.
00:25:50I'm not here right now, but take it away, Evan.
00:26:09Take him to church.
00:26:12Call you back.
00:26:16Call you back.
00:26:18Call you back.
00:26:20Call you back.
00:26:23Call you back.
00:26:28Woo.
00:26:37Or you can just text him like a normal person.
00:26:39Oh.
00:26:41Lou.
00:26:43I wrote it and just was like,
00:26:45I need someone more musically talented
00:26:47to put it all together.
00:26:48And huge shout out to Scott Passarella.
00:26:50Scotty P.
00:26:51Scotty P.
00:26:52And then my friend Evan Fowler in St. Louis
00:26:55got him and some buddies together
00:26:56and were nice enough to record it.
00:26:58That was fun.
00:26:58Vic.
00:26:59You can go ahead and play it.
00:27:00Hey, this is Vic.
00:27:02Leave a message.
00:27:03Now, Vic, that does not sound like you.
00:27:06I tried recording this voicemail over and over again
00:27:07and I was like, I'm having trouble
00:27:09finding what this is.
00:27:10So I had my friends write a scene to song musical
00:27:13and I flew my little sister, Sarah,
00:27:16down from British Columbia, Vancouver
00:27:18to be the lead of my musical.
00:27:19This is Thousand Airs Sarah of Sarah's Turn.
00:27:21She starred in a musical that I wrote
00:27:24where she played me
00:27:25and recorded a voicemail live on stage.
00:27:28Tonight is very special and I can't thank you enough
00:27:30for being here with me for the premiere of my new show,
00:27:34The Voicemail, The Musical.
00:27:39This is Vic, leave a, that's not right.
00:27:44Yo, you've reached the Vic store, leave a.
00:27:49Hey kid, looks like you could use a hand.
00:27:51Well, have I got the place for you.
00:27:55Welcome to Lever and Beeperson's voice message agency.
00:28:00We're number one for their artisanal voicemail.
00:28:03Get down in the room now.
00:28:10Sorry we missed you, you've reached the Stanleys.
00:28:14We're just your average nuclear family.
00:28:18Tommy's at Flockball, Marcy's at Chess Club.
00:28:22Mommy's out shopping, daddy is elsewhere.
00:28:26If you've reached the late night love line,
00:28:28please listen carefully to the following menu options.
00:28:32Press one and watch your girl naughty.
00:28:34Press two if you wanna throw a party.
00:28:37Press three and watch your girl British.
00:28:40Press four and watch your girl naughty and British.
00:28:43Press five and watch your girl, really?
00:28:48Wait, what?
00:28:51Sorry to interrupt, but I think that you should go home.
00:28:59I never picked up the phone, loser.
00:29:01You've been talking to the recording
00:29:02for two minutes like a bitch.
00:29:04You're gonna have to leave a message.
00:29:06What do you think?
00:29:08I think today has taught me, Vic, a valuable lesson.
00:29:12That the best voicemail for you
00:29:14is the one from your heart.
00:29:15The fuck?
00:29:16What the fuck?
00:29:17What the fuck?
00:29:18What the fuck?
00:29:19What the fuck?
00:29:19What the fuck?
00:29:20What the fuck?
00:29:21What the fuck?
00:29:22What the fuck?
00:29:23What the fuck?
00:29:24What the fuck?
00:29:24I got this.
00:29:27Shh.
00:29:33Hey, this is Vic.
00:29:35Leave a message.
00:29:37It was pretty good.
00:29:38No!
00:29:41And there we go.
00:29:42And that is the voicemail that you heard.
00:29:43You felt it.
00:29:44You could tell that was the one from the heart.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:47I might take issue with the fact
00:29:48that when each of you were presented
00:29:50with the prompt coolest,
00:29:52you picked musical theater,
00:29:54a marching band, and church, respectively.
00:29:57Right.
00:29:58Careful now, Sam.
00:29:59Coming after about 97% of the dropout audience.
00:30:02There can't be a single musical theater kid
00:30:04that subscribes to this platform.
00:30:07At least one of y'all gotta go to church.
00:30:09I do think that the coolest of those was Lou's.
00:30:16Yeah.
00:30:18For the sheer amount of effort that you put in, Vic,
00:30:21I think we have to say two points for you.
00:30:25I'll take it.
00:30:25Jacob, still cool.
00:30:27One point for you.
00:30:28You heard it here, high school kids at Arcadia High.
00:30:30Sam Rice doesn't like your work.
00:30:32That's tough.
00:30:33Lou, three points for you.
00:30:35Thanks, Sam.
00:30:36Next up, who can make the most money
00:30:39in an investment account?
00:30:42We loaded up investment accounts with $1,000
00:30:44for each of you to trade with
00:30:46over the course of the past year.
00:30:47Lou, how's that portfolio looking?
00:30:50I can't trust this fucking stock market.
00:30:52It's rigged.
00:30:54I'm going to how the people make their money.
00:30:56Okay.
00:30:57Scratchers.
00:30:59So I went to eight different liquor stores
00:31:01and I bought 662 scratchers.
00:31:03That is so bad.
00:31:05Oh my God!
00:31:06Specifically, pumpkin patch cash
00:31:09with a possibility of winning $30,000.
00:31:13My God!
00:31:14And then spent almost three weeks in between meals
00:31:18when I would wake up early.
00:31:21So in this session,
00:31:22I think I only scratch about a third of the total amount.
00:31:26Look at the sun.
00:31:27Yes, you can watch the sun set on me
00:31:30and also the thought that this was a good idea.
00:31:34So in total, I made $454.
00:31:40Wow.
00:31:41That's tough and I'm sorry.
00:31:42That is staggering.
00:31:43So in that video,
00:31:46I really think this is going to work out.
00:31:49In that video, I keep going,
00:31:52oh, is that a thousand?
00:31:54Oh, it's only 10.
00:31:56Don't gamble kids.
00:31:58There is no cash in the pumpkin patch.
00:32:03That's tough.
00:32:04Jacob.
00:32:05I know a lot of people look at me
00:32:06and they might think like,
00:32:07when it comes to stocks and investment,
00:32:09that guy is a dumbo.
00:32:12I did a little bit of minimal research.
00:32:14I decided to invest in a company called Nvidia.
00:32:18Nvidia has done incredibly well in the last year.
00:32:24Let's look at my initial investment.
00:32:26That's what you provided.
00:32:27Yes.
00:32:28We started here
00:32:29and over the course of a year,
00:32:31I have nearly tripled my investment, $2,906.63.
00:32:38You saying this in that suit
00:32:41is nothing I ever could have dreamed.
00:32:43In a million years.
00:32:45Jacob the Punk is dead
00:32:47and Jacob the Capitalist is here.
00:32:50Mr. Moneybags has arrived.
00:32:53Wow.
00:32:54I guess gambling does work.
00:32:55Kids, there is cash in the pumpkin patch.
00:32:59No, there's not.
00:33:01Vic.
00:33:02So.
00:33:02This is the second time that you've stealthily disappeared.
00:33:05And I'll be right back.
00:33:05Just give me one second
00:33:06and then just announce me one more time.
00:33:08Are you ready for us, Vic?
00:33:09We are.
00:33:10We?
00:33:11Please welcome Vic Mikalis and Question Mark.
00:33:16Hello.
00:33:18So amazing to see so many faces here
00:33:20at our quarterly meeting here.
00:33:23We're so grateful for you.
00:33:24I'm gonna hand it over to our CFO, James Mikalis.
00:33:27James.
00:33:28Sam.
00:33:29James.
00:33:30It's an honor to meet you.
00:33:31It's such a pleasure to meet you, James.
00:33:33Just to help with this presentation today.
00:33:34How about it?
00:33:35I'm gonna have to take your spot.
00:33:36Oh.
00:33:37I'm gonna be giving a presentation.
00:33:38Okay, where am I going?
00:33:39Yes, you go ahead and take the podium here.
00:33:40Okay, great.
00:33:41So welcome potential investors.
00:33:43Yes, so as I mentioned, I am Vic's brother,
00:33:46but more importantly,
00:33:47I am the CFO of Investment Account Inc., our company.
00:33:53This is our investor deck.
00:33:54We're looking for investors.
00:33:55We're gonna go through the financials,
00:33:57our company structure,
00:33:58and at the end, we'll come up with our pitch.
00:33:59This is a company called Investment Account.
00:34:03Correct.
00:34:03So what do we do?
00:34:04We here at Investment Account Inc.
00:34:06believe in investing in the future.
00:34:08That's why our 39 employees are our top priority.
00:34:13I'm sorry?
00:34:1339 employees.
00:34:1539.
00:34:16Here's the full list.
00:34:17Who are we?
00:34:18Continue.
00:34:19That was so many names.
00:34:21So hopping into our financials.
00:34:23Okay, those objectively look bad.
00:34:26Just give it one second, Sam.
00:34:27Copy.
00:34:28As everyone knows,
00:34:29we started with $1,000 for our company.
00:34:31So starting off,
00:34:32we invested $600 into the original vending machine cost.
00:34:35That vending machine looks like it's in rough shape.
00:34:38The next 300, employee onboarding.
00:34:40We brought in all 39 employees
00:34:43during that January timeframe.
00:34:44Just $300 for all 39 people.
00:34:47We bought them each personal pizzas.
00:34:48Personal pizzas, and we got a bulk discount.
00:34:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:34:51February to August 2024.
00:34:54$200 went into our corporate retreat.
00:34:56Okay, that feels just like a bad use
00:34:59of the repayment fund.
00:35:00And so we're now negative $100.
00:35:00So we took out another $100 investment
00:35:02from our friend Lou for 60% of the company.
00:35:05Is that right, Lou?
00:35:06This is something I really believe in.
00:35:08And Lou, we believe in you,
00:35:09and you believe in us,
00:35:10and together we're gonna believe some big things.
00:35:12Keep going.
00:35:13And directly after that investment,
00:35:14we took our summer break and came back in September.
00:35:17First, our investment account retreat, 2024.
00:35:20Here's some fun photos.
00:35:22Look at that, our CEO is rolling.
00:35:23A great company culture.
00:35:26I guess I'm having a hard time remembering D-Day.
00:35:30I guess I'm sort of having a hard time remembering that.
00:35:33Remember this?
00:35:33That's not you?
00:35:36Is that not you wearing one of these T-shirts?
00:35:38I do remember putting that shirt on for a picture.
00:35:42That picture was at the company retreat.
00:35:44Yeah.
00:35:44Yeah.
00:35:45Continuing with our financials.
00:35:49July through October 2024.
00:35:51$50 for this logo design.
00:35:53All right.
00:35:54I will say, the logo doesn't look like a lot,
00:35:57even for $50.
00:35:58And that's exactly what all the market research said
00:36:01we should be going for.
00:36:02So we did have a $100 HR meeting
00:36:04to discuss the negligence of our spending.
00:36:07We then found $250.
00:36:10Where?
00:36:11Can I ask?
00:36:15And then last,
00:36:17$400 for this presentation design.
00:36:19Now.
00:36:202025 projections.
00:36:21I would love to know this.
00:36:23Projected profits.
00:36:25Very self-explanatory.
00:36:26That line looks like it's going up.
00:36:27Now you know why I gave him $100.
00:36:30Fucking love this presentation.
00:36:30All right.
00:36:31What are we worth?
00:36:33We are priceless.
00:36:36Wow.
00:36:36However, we still do need investors.
00:36:38So here's our first pitch.
00:36:4010% of the company for $1 more than what Jacob made.
00:36:45Now, this couldn't be because you bought a vending machine
00:36:48in the hopes of doing something with it
00:36:50and then decided to hard pivot
00:36:51into a completely vacuous Shark Tank style presentation.
00:36:57Sam, you're assuming that I bought this vending machine
00:36:59and then realized that the plug
00:37:00wasn't plugged into the vending machine
00:37:02and that there was no credit card reader.
00:37:03So not even the hospital would take it
00:37:05to put in the basement.
00:37:06Hey, I get it.
00:37:07You're not totally sold on this offer
00:37:09and you're right not to be
00:37:10because we have another offer for you.
00:37:1286% of the company for $1 more than what Jacob made.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:16What's happening here?
00:37:17I would like to make you a counter.
00:37:20Okay.
00:37:21100% of the company for $1 less than Jacob made.
00:37:25I see.
00:37:26We're not quite swayed by this offer.
00:37:28So we got one last offer for you.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:30Final offer.
00:37:3112% of the company for $1 more than what Jacob made.
00:37:35What do you say?
00:37:36So I think this is worse.
00:37:40I'm prepared to make a bid.
00:37:41Whoa.
00:37:42Zach from Try Guys?
00:37:43When I invest, I'm not just looking for a product.
00:37:47I'm looking for a vision.
00:37:48And what I see here is potential.
00:37:50And I am prepared to offer $10,000 for 20.
00:37:54Oh my God.
00:37:54No, 12% of your company.
00:37:58I have a check right here.
00:37:59Yes.
00:38:00That says cash.
00:38:02Thank you, yes.
00:38:02Congratulations.
00:38:03Yes, Zach, okay.
00:38:04You look like an ivory salesman.
00:38:08We're going to the Superbowl.
00:38:09Come on.
00:38:10No!
00:38:14Zach, congratulations on a great new venture.
00:38:17Thank you so much.
00:38:18Nice to meet you all.
00:38:19Wow, huge.
00:38:19And I'll just, a quick change.
00:38:23This transition might be my favorite.
00:38:24Yes.
00:38:26Perfect.
00:38:27It's a perfect transition.
00:38:28All doors lead back to Game Changer.
00:38:29Jacob, that is three points for you.
00:38:31Bingo.
00:38:32Lou, two points for you.
00:38:34And I've lost money.
00:38:36Another negative point for that complete and total farce.
00:38:39Damn.
00:38:40Those points are official?
00:38:41Those points are official.
00:38:42I felt like the only thing I really could do
00:38:45would be to get the points, win,
00:38:46and then reject the money.
00:38:48So I'm going to be donating all of my profits
00:38:50to the Rainbow Services,
00:38:52which is a local South Bay organization
00:38:55that me and my mom really found important.
00:38:57Jacob.
00:38:59I think we can all agree who's winning the moral victory
00:39:02here so far on stage.
00:39:03Next up, who can perform the most impressive magic trick?
00:39:08Lou, you're up first.
00:39:09Fantastic.
00:39:10Would it be possible for you and the fellow contestants
00:39:12to kind of gather around Jacob's podium?
00:39:14Oh, yeah.
00:39:15Okay, fair enough.
00:39:16I'll be right back.
00:39:17Okay.
00:39:22Oh, allow me to reintroduce myself.
00:39:25My name is Lou, L-to-the-O-U,
00:39:27and this is my partner in crime, Kazzy.
00:39:29Say hi, Kazzy.
00:39:31Hi, you prankster.
00:39:33All right, now we're going to do a little magic
00:39:34for y'all today.
00:39:35You see, I learned at a young age
00:39:36that a little slight of hand
00:39:38could get you out of a pair of handcuffs
00:39:40or make a dime bag disappear.
00:39:42Now, the trick we're going to do for you today
00:39:43is called a three-card Monty.
00:39:44We used to do this trick uptown,
00:39:46trick mucky mucks out of their pocket change,
00:39:48and then we would bring it back down
00:39:50to help those in our community.
00:39:52I was a real Robin Hood, if I do say so myself.
00:39:55Now, all you got to do is follow the queen.
00:39:58DJ, hit that track.
00:40:07She's a king.
00:40:09Ooh, that's a king.
00:40:12That's the queen.
00:40:13That's what we're following.
00:40:18Okay.
00:40:19Just track.
00:40:22Whip!
00:40:23Wow!
00:40:25Damn!
00:40:31Okay, king.
00:40:33King.
00:40:37Wow.
00:40:40This.
00:40:40Oh, okay.
00:40:42Okay.
00:40:52What?
00:40:53Whoa!
00:40:59Yes!
00:41:00Oh, holy shit!
00:41:01Yes!
00:41:06Oh!
00:41:10Whoa!
00:41:13What?
00:41:25Whoa!
00:41:34You got it, dude.
00:41:35Wow!
00:41:37Woo!
00:41:38Woo!
00:41:39Damn!
00:41:40Great job, Lou, and great job, Kazzie.
00:41:44Super impressive trick.
00:41:47Magic, man.
00:41:47You fooled me, as Penn and Teller say.
00:41:49Vic.
00:41:50What is magic?
00:41:52When I think of magic,
00:41:52I think of just an old-fashioned card trick.
00:41:55Sam, do you have a favorite card?
00:41:56As a matter of fact, I probably do have a favorite card.
00:41:59This has nothing to do with that.
00:42:00I'm just curious.
00:42:02I'm gonna go ahead and have you just pick a card.
00:42:04Pick any card.
00:42:05Okay.
00:42:07And you're gonna take a peek at it.
00:42:07Okay.
00:42:10Pop it back in the deck.
00:42:11Okay.
00:42:13Okay, this card is going to jump into your pocket.
00:42:17Okay.
00:42:18Okay, ready?
00:42:19Yes.
00:42:19Three, two, one.
00:42:21Is it in there?
00:42:22No.
00:42:24Okay, so I'm kinda new at magic.
00:42:27Your card did jump somewhere.
00:42:28It's just not where it was supposed to jump, unfortunately.
00:42:32Can I get the tool?
00:42:34I really appreciate that.
00:42:35If we can just sort of bring these out.
00:42:36Thank you so much, Ash and Nico.
00:42:38Really appreciate it.
00:42:40Sam, we're just gonna have you scooch on over here.
00:42:42I am so scared.
00:42:45Yeah, just go ahead and put those on,
00:42:46and you guys might just wanna scoot back.
00:42:47It's about to go down.
00:42:48This is just gonna take a second.
00:42:50Don't even worry about it, okay?
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:52Ready?
00:42:53Sure.
00:42:54Oh, fuck.
00:42:54Oh, my God.
00:42:55Jesus Christ, my podium.
00:42:58Oh, no.
00:42:59Here we go.
00:42:59It's just gonna be like one more second.
00:43:03Oh, my God.
00:43:04God!
00:43:05Oh, Jesus.
00:43:07Is this your card?
00:43:13No.
00:43:17Oh, my God, no, hold on.
00:43:19Just...
00:43:22Was this your card?
00:43:24Yes!
00:43:25Yay!
00:43:27It happens.
00:43:28Oh, man, that absolutely rolled.
00:43:31That was some heavy swinging.
00:43:32I'm very strong.
00:43:33Yeah, shows, shows.
00:43:33Thank you for saying that.
00:43:35Jacob, can we bring my table out, please?
00:43:40Thank you, Nico.
00:43:42Put my stuff here for now.
00:43:44What you just saw, they were merely tricks.
00:43:46And when this task came across my desk,
00:43:49I wanted to do something real.
00:43:50I wanted to learn how to read people's minds.
00:43:54But the harder thing to do than read a mind
00:43:56is to influence minds.
00:43:58Classic piece of psychology, the Rorschach test.
00:44:01You guys are familiar with the Rorschach test, right?
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:03So I wanna connect with you.
00:44:04I'm gonna show you an image.
00:44:05I want you to immediately tell me what you see, right?
00:44:07So you go ahead and tell me when to stop.
00:44:09Stop.
00:44:10We'll show it to the camera.
00:44:13First thought, two people dancing.
00:44:15Beautiful.
00:44:16Yeah, that totally makes sense.
00:44:17You find the joy in life,
00:44:19and you don't like to spend a lot of time alone, right?
00:44:21So you're not gonna see like a singular image.
00:44:23Can we do one with you?
00:44:24Sure.
00:44:25Tell me when to stop.
00:44:26Okay, stop.
00:44:27Great.
00:44:29Vase of flowers.
00:44:30Vase of flowers.
00:44:31Cool, yeah, you like to give gifts.
00:44:32Yes.
00:44:33You're a generous guy.
00:44:34Oh, thanks.
00:44:35So here's the big moment, all right?
00:44:36Okay.
00:44:36You're gonna confidently pick a page.
00:44:38Yep.
00:44:39Look at it and put it down.
00:44:39Got it.
00:44:40Do not say what you see until you're prompted.
00:44:43And anywhere in here?
00:44:44Anywhere, just pick one up like that.
00:44:48Okay.
00:44:49Now I want you to envision what you just saw.
00:44:51Okay.
00:44:52I want you to send it to me.
00:44:53Okay.
00:44:54Now if this has a color, see it in the color.
00:44:56Yeah.
00:44:57If it has a sound, see with the sound.
00:44:58Yes.
00:44:59If it is somewhere, see it where it would be.
00:45:01Yes.
00:45:02Why don't you write down what you saw
00:45:03on that piece of paper there?
00:45:06Now most people on these, they see people, place, or thing.
00:45:08I don't think you saw a person.
00:45:10I don't think you saw a place.
00:45:12What I think you saw was a thing.
00:45:14It's large.
00:45:16Has distinct features, if I'm not mistaken, right?
00:45:19Makes a distinct noise.
00:45:20Yes.
00:45:21On three.
00:45:22Say it at the same time as you.
00:45:23We're gonna say it at the same time.
00:45:24Hopefully it matches up.
00:45:25Okay.
00:45:25You ready?
00:45:27Three, two, one.
00:45:29Elephant.
00:45:30Show them.
00:45:32He wrote down elephant.
00:45:34Stop clapping, stop clapping.
00:45:36That would be a trick, ladies and gentlemen,
00:45:38but I am not here doing a trick.
00:45:41I have been infecting your brain.
00:45:44Do you remember at the top of the show
00:45:46when I said elephant in the room?
00:45:47It's been a crazy fucking year.
00:45:49Do you remember when I called myself a dumbo?
00:45:51Do you remember when I said an elephant never forgets?
00:45:53So I know how to take care of this.
00:45:55Do you remember when I said, Zach,
00:45:57you look like an ivory salesman.
00:46:00I have been infecting you all day
00:46:03to see exactly what I wanted you to see.
00:46:06Good job, Sam.
00:46:07You've been such a great sport.
00:46:09Why don't you go and open up the gift I got you?
00:46:11You are a twisted motherfucker, Jake.
00:46:15You got me a fucking elephant.
00:46:16Show everybody what it is.
00:46:17It's a fucking elephant.
00:46:19It's been here the whole time.
00:46:26Congratulations.
00:46:26You have a very weak mind.
00:46:33I have a bit of a magic background.
00:46:36Everything I saw today,
00:46:38I have a sense of how it's done,
00:46:41except for that elephant.
00:46:44And so I'm gonna say three points for Jacob,
00:46:48two points for both of you
00:46:50for tremendous, tremendous performance.
00:46:52Everybody did great work.
00:46:53Everybody did great work.
00:46:54Look at us, come on.
00:46:55Next up, players,
00:46:57who can get the most followers on a SoundCloud account?
00:47:02Vic, we'll start with you.
00:47:03So I wrote a religiously coded erotic novel.
00:47:10Are we playing a portion of this, Vic?
00:47:11We are.
00:47:12One Man's Trash.
00:47:15One Man's Trash, a novella by Taylor Scarborough Fair.
00:47:20This is you doing a voice.
00:47:22Oh, the production value is incredible here, Vic.
00:47:25Thank you so much.
00:47:26I edited it on iMovie.
00:47:27Chapter one.
00:47:29Royce Dickman stands alone in a glowing white room.
00:47:31He takes a moment to breathe in the quietness.
00:47:33A man is hot, sexy, devout, nice, and handsome,
00:47:36as him never has a moment
00:47:37to just think about mathematics or literature.
00:47:40Suddenly he hears, Royce.
00:47:42Emma?
00:47:44He sounds like he smokes, but he doesn't.
00:47:45Royce would never smoke.
00:47:46Who's the other voice?
00:47:47Me.
00:47:48Emma, where are you?
00:47:49Suddenly, in the distance,
00:47:51a figure begins to walk towards Royce.
00:47:53As it comes closer, we see it as a beautiful woman.
00:47:56She's wearing nothing but very long hair,
00:47:57covering her good bits,
00:47:58like in a painting in a fancy home or restaurant.
00:48:01He reaches for her with his tree trunk arms,
00:48:03busting out of a tank top.
00:48:05Royce.
00:48:06Her voice becomes more powerful.
00:48:08Royce.
00:48:09Jolting awake, Royce shoots up alone in bed.
00:48:11It was all just a dream.
00:48:13Royce pushes the fantasy from his giant,
00:48:14powerful, hot brain.
00:48:16Wow, Vic.
00:48:18I mean, you painted a picture.
00:48:20There's character development.
00:48:22Yeah.
00:48:23Setting.
00:48:24Southern guitar twang.
00:48:25I mean, come on.
00:48:26How many people followed you on SoundCloud?
00:48:28I think if you ask these other two,
00:48:29they wouldn't be able to name any of their followers.
00:48:31Whereas for my, yes, 10 followers,
00:48:35I can give you their home addresses.
00:48:38Because you know them personally.
00:48:42Jacob.
00:48:43I thought I'd present this,
00:48:44like those old CD commercials.
00:48:46Do you love music?
00:48:48Do you love music that sounds like your favorite songs?
00:48:51Well, I've got a surprise for you.

00:52:06Hey, bless up, kids.
00:52:07Follow us only on SoundCloud still.
00:52:10Oh, that was so good.
00:52:12That was good, dude.
00:52:13Whoa.
00:52:14So yeah, a year ago, you gave me this mission.
00:52:17And I said, what if I started a band
00:52:21with my three best friends from high school?
00:52:23And so to anyone who supported us on this journey,
00:52:26I want you to know, to all the Paraloozas out there,
00:52:28this grew beyond a mission.
00:52:31Into a whole new world.
00:52:33I think that people will be shocked
00:52:36to learn that this is as a result of a Game Changer prop.
00:52:39We became a real band.
00:52:41Lou, you have 3,242 followers.
00:52:47Somehow, Jacob's parody songs have more.
00:52:52Jacob, we looked into some of these followers.
00:52:57Some of them have no avatars.
00:53:00Yeah.
00:53:01Some of them have strange names and only follow you.
00:53:05Are you getting at something, Sam?
00:53:07Did you buy any of these followers?
00:53:15At the beginning of this, I felt very intimidated
00:53:18going into a popularity contest
00:53:20against one of the most lovable people in the world,
00:53:23Lou fucking Wilson.
00:53:24So did I buy 680, 690 followers
00:53:31at the very beginning of this?
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:34I did not specify that you couldn't buy followers.
00:53:37Not at all, and that's why I did.
00:53:38You feel like you flipped real quick.
00:53:41I feel like you went from an impassioned speech
00:53:44kind of complimenting me to be like,
00:53:46motherfucker, you didn't say shit.
00:53:48I couldn't.
00:53:49I refused to lose.
00:53:50And so I created a second account
00:53:52called Also Paraloozas that currently
00:53:54has 5,000 followers, all purchased,
00:53:57if that puts me in first place.
00:54:00That is going to be three points for Paraloobas,
00:54:04two points for Parody Master Jacob Wysocki,
00:54:09and one point for erotic novelist Vic Michaelis.
00:54:12We're in the positive, and that's all I can ask for.
00:54:17Next up, who can have the most exotic animal encounter?
00:54:22Jake, we'll start with you.
00:54:24Should we just roll the beautiful bean footage?
00:54:25Welcome.
00:54:26Hi.
00:54:27This is task 13.
00:54:29Who can have the encounter with the most exotic animal?
00:54:31We were told at the beginning of this
00:54:32that some of the tasks, we were going
00:54:34to be able to get the credit card from the company
00:54:36to help make it happen.
00:54:37So we're at a really fancy restaurant,
00:54:38going to have a very fancy meal.
00:54:39When daddy's away, you can come now.
00:54:42Oh!
00:54:47Hello, good to see you.
00:54:50Awesome, thanks for inviting us.
00:54:51And again, I just wanted to say thank
00:54:53you guys for paying us to come.
00:54:54I'd like to say thanks for the suit and the cowboy hat.
00:54:58Do I get to keep it?
00:54:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:59Oh, do you guys need some walking around money?
00:55:01Oh, shit.
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:04Thanks for being here.
00:55:05We've spared no expense.
00:55:07Garcon!
00:55:08Mister!
00:55:08Oh!
00:55:09Hey.
00:55:10If I can get a close up on me ordering for a second.
00:55:12There you go.
00:55:13You're paying the calendars?
00:55:14Make sure it's a nice close up.
00:55:15There we go.
00:55:16While Vic's ordering, I'll give you $300
00:55:17if you could just get their feet.
00:55:19Smells really good.
00:55:21Everybody's food looks really good.
00:55:23You guys want to see something cool?
00:55:24Let's hear it for Zuri.
00:55:26Oh, my.
00:55:27Oh, my.
00:55:29Oh, sorry.
00:55:30Come on.
00:55:31Zuri's here.
00:55:32How are you?
00:55:32Hi, baby.
00:55:33Good morning.
00:55:34That absolutely rules.
00:55:36Ringtail lemur?
00:55:37The tail's pretty tired, too.
00:55:38You want my yam?
00:55:39Oh, that's right.
00:55:40We'd ordered some food for Zuri.
00:55:41Yeah, we knew Zuri was coming.
00:55:42Oh, good.
00:55:43When the moon hits your eye like Zuri's yellow eyes.
00:55:47That's a lemur.
00:55:48That's good.
00:55:49Yeah?
00:55:50That's a lemur.
00:55:51Oh!
00:55:52I think Zuri just took a shit.
00:55:53I think Zuri just took a shit.
00:55:55That's OK.
00:55:56I'm just going to cover it with a hundo.
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:58That'd be great.
00:55:59Thanks, ma'am.
00:55:59You haven't touched your.
00:56:00Oh, you know what?
00:56:01I was going to touch it, but then
00:56:03she started shitting everywhere.
00:56:06Everybody say bye.
00:56:08Bye, Zuri.
00:56:08Bye, Zuri.
00:56:09Thank you so much for being here.
00:56:10We love you.
00:56:11Wow.
00:56:12Well, I hope you enjoyed your dinner.
00:56:15One point for each of you.
00:56:16Hey!
00:56:17That was a huge win.
00:56:18Cool.
00:56:19Team effort.
00:56:19Next up, and I'm regretting this challenge
00:56:23at this particular moment.
00:56:24Who can take the funniest candid of me?
00:56:28I'll go ahead and roll the clip.
00:56:34Oh my god.
00:56:35Does that look familiar, Sam?
00:56:37I think it's Vic's house.
00:56:38That's my house.
00:56:39Wait a minute.
00:56:41This is my home.
00:56:43You know, we just realized we could do a lot more together
00:56:45than we could apart.
00:56:46This is a camera?
00:56:47You put it in my home for a length of time?
00:56:51Did you not notice any new electronics
00:56:53in the house recently?
00:56:54This is so many different days.
00:56:57We thought, let's just really shotgun it
00:56:59and make sure we get something.
00:57:00I spend so much time on my phone.
00:57:03We're learning that, yeah.
00:57:04Down you go.
00:57:07I must be the most inobservant person on the planet.
00:57:11You got a really weak brain, man.
00:57:12To think what that camera must have captured
00:57:15that you didn't show.
00:57:16Oh, and look, all three of us, we all
00:57:18scrubbed the whole thing, dude.
00:57:19Everything.
00:57:20Tip to tail.
00:57:23I got to say, I'm both horrified and impressed.
00:57:26That's three points for each of you.
00:57:28United front, united front.
00:57:29United front.
00:57:30Next up, players.
00:57:35Oh, a final transformation.
00:57:38I finally animorphed.
00:57:42Free.
00:57:42Wow, Vic.
00:57:44My final transformation.
00:57:47I am person.
00:57:49You know what?
00:57:49No, stop.
00:57:50For all of those stages, I am going
00:57:52to say an additional point for you.
00:57:55One whole point?
00:57:56Yes.
00:57:56Thank you, Sam.
00:57:58Next up, players.
00:57:59The last challenge of our game.
00:58:02Who can collect the most locks of hair of people they know?
00:58:07Lou, we'll start with you.
00:58:09What was your ideal version of this task?
00:58:15Was it that I would walk in here with a giant bag of my friend
00:58:21and loved one's hair?
00:58:23Yeah, that about sums it up.
00:58:24My brother's in the audience.
00:58:25You wanted him to watch me hand you a Ziploc bag of hair
00:58:29that I scrounged barbershops for.
00:58:32Just having hair in our home for an entire year.
00:58:36Yeah, like, you know, like a kind of like a serial killer.
00:58:39Why are you all looking at me like this?
00:58:41Let's go and change the next slide.
00:58:43This was us precisely one year ago.
00:58:48An iconic image that is now memed across the internet
00:58:51as a accidental Renaissance painting.
00:58:54Do you have any inkling of what we went through
00:58:57after we went through that?
00:58:59We have decided that this is actually no longer about you.
00:59:02We are not interested in these points
00:59:04because that would suggest that all that I have done here
00:59:08today was for you.
00:59:09And that is simply not true.
00:59:12Everything I did for this episode
00:59:14was inspired by and dedicated to these two people standing
00:59:19on this stage beside me.
00:59:21A year ago, we were broken, drunk, and defeated.
00:59:24Today, we stand triumphant, glorious.
00:59:27A year ago, we said, you can come now.
00:59:30We are the ones who will be coming.
00:59:33I am coming.
00:59:35Everybody.
00:59:36I am coming.
00:59:38I am coming.
00:59:40Stay back.
00:59:41I am coming.
00:59:44Don't worry, Sam.
00:59:45It's still Game Changer and there's a prize.
00:59:47You won, Sam.
00:59:49Your prize today is a one-hour session
00:59:51with Maria Two-Straps, a kink therapist.
00:59:55Sam, during our time at Dropout,
00:59:58we've observed reoccurring patterns of control
01:00:00in your interactions with others,
01:00:02accompanied by notable emphasis on fetish and kink.
01:00:06We believe that it's crucial for you to introspect
01:00:09and delve deeper into these tendencies.
01:00:11Wow.
01:00:12So we, all of our friends who helped us
01:00:14make this amazing episode, all of the crew,
01:00:16we're going to exit out this door right here.
01:00:18We're going to go outside
01:00:19and we're going to have a nice party.
01:00:20I think there's a little fondue fountain.
01:00:22You are more than welcome to join us
01:00:23after you've spent one calendar hour
01:00:26hanging out with Two-Straps here.
01:00:29Take your seat.
01:00:30Yeah, now.
01:00:31Yeah, it's time.
01:00:32Like all bits aside, I'm really interested
01:00:33to see what happens here.
01:00:34Sam, just in case this wasn't a big enough prize,
01:00:38we got you one last thing.
01:00:40Oh my God.
01:00:47Nothing accidental about that.
01:00:49This is gorgeous.
01:00:52Sam, you can come now.
01:00:55Come on, everybody.
01:00:56Let's go, come on, we've got a party.
01:00:58Party, party, party, party, party, party.
01:01:02Hey, have fun.
01:01:04Have fun, everybody.
01:01:05Bye.
01:01:06I'll be out there sooner or later.
01:01:08Henry is here.
01:01:10Oh, I want to hang out with Henry.
01:01:13Hello, Sam.
01:01:15So nice to meet you.
01:01:16Where should I begin?
01:01:18Oh, come on, you go first.
01:01:19It's a bouncer.
01:01:21Great job.
01:01:22I'm so proud of you.
01:01:24We did it.
01:01:25So let's dive deep,
01:01:27because I've heard some things.
01:01:28Yeah.
01:01:29But I want to hear it from your own words.
01:01:31Izzy Roland once asked me,
01:01:33is this a kink?
01:01:34And my response to her was, I don't know.
01:01:37Kyle Pimpleville.
01:01:39The Molly Hitten.
01:01:40It's this interesting paradox, right?
01:01:42The desire, the need for control
01:01:44usually comes from deep feelings
01:01:46of not feeling in control.
01:01:49I'm afraid of vulnerability.
01:01:50For sure.
01:01:51That sometimes you push people away.
01:01:53Push them away with rigorously difficult game shows,
01:01:55for instance.
01:01:56Exactly.
01:02:00The reality is that I'm more of a gentle dom
01:02:04and I play more of an un-gentle dom.
01:02:08Gotcha.
01:02:10Game's over!
01:02:16Guess I'll leave you with a final question.
01:02:18Sure.
01:02:19An introspective question.
01:02:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:21You can answer it if you want.
01:02:23Putting on this facade.
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:26I'm Sam.
01:02:27Check out my cool game show where I humiliate people.
01:02:30Sure.
01:02:30That's what you're coming forth with.
01:02:32Yeah.
01:02:33What does it look like to just walk out there
01:02:36and say, hey, I'm Sam?
01:02:41I'm totally cured.
01:02:43Yeah, right?
01:02:45That brings us to the end of our show.
01:02:48Our scores at the end.
01:02:50Jacob with 27.
01:02:52Vic with 12.
01:02:53Lou with 28.
01:02:55The winner of our episode, Lou Wilson.
01:02:59Lou, you win the swear jar.
01:03:02And inside this swear jar,
01:03:04this government bond for $1,000,
01:03:07which you can redeem in 2035.
01:03:11That does it for us here at Game Changer.
01:03:13I am your host, Sam Reich,
01:03:15reminding you that if the best time
01:03:17to do a game show was a year ago,
01:03:19the second best time is now.
01:03:21Good night.
