WEBVTT
- [Sam] Get ready for a "Game Changer!"
Tonight's guests, mother to Wetzel,
thrower of pretzels, it's Katie Marovitch!
[lively exuberant music]
His dom DM dealt critical damage,
it's Brennan Lee Mulligan!
- [Brennan] Hi! Hi, hi!
- Hello there.
- [Sam] And coiner of the
phrase, "Loop-de-loop,"
it's Raphael Chestang!
- [Brennan] Oh!
- [Katie] Ooh! [claps]
- Uppercut!
- And your host, me. I've
been here the whole time.
This is "Game Changer," the only game show
where the game changes every show.
I am your host, Sam Reich.
I am joined today by these
three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand
how the game works.
- No.
- Sam, we don't.
- How could we?
- And you know we don't.
- We never. We do this
every time, we do not.
- You ask us every time and
we tell you we don't know.
- That's right, our players have no idea
what game it is they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing.
The only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning,
so without further ado, let's begin.
Ash, if I could please
have the bingo board.
[warm upbeat music]
- Oh!
- [Brennan] Okay.
- [Katie] Oh my goodness.
- Ah! All right.
- Raph gets the blue,
Brennan gets the orange.
- Oh, yay! Thank you so much.
- Players, I assume you're
familiar with the rules of bingo.
I pull a ball.
If you have that corresponding
number on your bingo board,
you stamp it down.
But in this game, you're going
to have to earn your ba*ls.
Ash, if I could have
the bingo ba*ls, please.
- Oh, what a fun little hopper!
[Katie gasps excitedly]
- Lotto!
[cast laughing]
- Katie.
- Oh no.
- For a ball, do your best
impression of an old dog.
- Should I do it over there?
- Yeah, why don't you come...
- Raphael.
- We're setting a precedent
that will be established for
the whole game, so be aware.
[Katie moans dryly]
[Raph laughing]
[Katie groaning weakly]
- [Sam] This is oddly good.
- Whoa, dog has to pee.
- [Sam] Oh, oh!
- Oh no.
[Katie barks weakly]
That's a bad old dog.
[Katie whimpers pitifully]
- [Sam] Oh, it's getting a little-
- Raph!
- Okay.
- [Sam] It's getting sad.
- [Brennan] Raph!
- [Sam] It's getting sad.
- I'm sorry.
[Katie rawrs raspily]
- Jungle cat.
[Sam and Raph laughing]
[cast gasps]
- Katie, I'm gonna say that counts. Bravo.
- [Raph] It did.
- [Brennan] Bravo, bravo.
- Good performance!
Good eyes.
- Thank you.
- Let's draw your ball, Katie.
- Okay, perfect.
- When the ball is pulled,
do all of us look for it, or just Katie?
- All of you will look for it.
- Gotcha. Copy that.
- Okay.
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- Ooh!
Oh!
- 71.
- Damn!
- Does anyone have 71?
- Yes!
- Oh, hey!
- [Brennan] Hey!
- Brennan.
- [Brennan] Yes.
- For a ball, list five qualities
you like about Mike Trapp.
- There has never been
an easier challenge.
Watch this.
- Wow.
- Nice!
- Watch what happens next.
The list of qualities I
love about Mike Trapp,
that's an endless list.
I'm gonna have to try to think of things
that come down from-
- Oh, come down from love.
- Mike Trapp, the reason I even work here.
- Fun fact.
- I started as the question
writer for "Um, Actually."
- Yeah.
- Mike Trapp, whenever he is exasperated,
he plays it for laughs every time.
- Yeah.
- [Sam] Love that.
- Number two, there is no amount of weird
Mike Trapp can be in an improv scenario
where he will not keep
on to why he's weird
and straight man something going on.
Like, "Yeah, I'm an evil
clown from the sewers,
but what the hell are you doing?"
- [Sam] Are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Perfect. Great every time.
- Yes.
- You know what I like about Mike Trapp?
Awesome host.
- So true.
- One time he threw a lovely little bash.
- Oh, I thought you meant game show host.
- Oh no, I mean like
literally at his house.
He put on a great spread,
and I really feel a kinship with him
because we both love complete taxonomies.
A fully fleshed-out category
which leaves nothing outside it
in which everything is sorted.
Is that five? How many is that?
- That's five.
- Okay. I could keep going.
- [Sam] Really well done, Brennan.
- Mike Trapp's the best!
- I say that deserves a ball.
- Yay!
- Oop, whoa!
- Does anyone have 33?
- You better not!
- No.
- How do you feel about
closest without going over?
- All that for nothing,
Brennan. I'm sorry.
It was a lovely tribute to Mike Trapp.
- It's okay.
- Wherever he is,
I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
- I'm not doing it for the ba*ls.
I'm doing it for correctly
answering the prompt.
I don't need a f*cking
gold star, baby, okay?
It's about doing it right.
- Oh, oh, points at camera,
addresses viewer.
- Wow, damn it.
- It's like if you do
your homework correctly
and the teacher gives you
a check, that's enough.
- There's a big study right
now about rewarding behavior
that people are already
seeking not being a good thing.
- Yes.
- If kids like drawing
and you start to give them
like, erasers and gifts
and gold stars for drawing,
they report higher levels
of stress when they draw.
- That's over 10 seconds.
- That's over 10 seconds.
- Rekha, you're next, right?
- It's me?
Chatty sexy jewelry.
- [Sam] Raph.
- [Raph] Yes!
- For a bingo ball, invent a dance called
the "Chatty Sexy Jewelry."
- Chatty Sexy Jewelry.
- [laughs] It's so stupid! It's so-
- [P.A.] Something's up with your mic.
- Oh.
- [P.A.] Can I just check and make sure
that's it's secure on there?
- [Sam] What would that dance
look like, Raph?
- [P.A.] Where is it?
- I don't know.
- Chatty and sexy.
Oh, it's jewelry. I see.
- [Sam] What is this?
- [Katie] I see it!
- [Sam] Who is this fancy man?
- [Brennan] Ooh.
- Put his hands on his hips.
- He's not gonna put
his hands on his hips.
He's not going to.
- [Lily] He's not.
- [Brennan] It's like a
kind of sped-up version
of an older Upper East Side lady.
- Put those hands on your hips!
- She's got so much jewelry on.
Gotta keep those wrists up. Yeah.
- [laughs] Incredible, my friend!
- Nothing I needed.
- Raph with some experience
with sexy jewelry, I might add.
- Oh, are you kidding?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I forgot,
Sam! I forgot the sexy charm.
- He didn't wear the lucky necklace?
- What were you talking about?
- What?
- He's talking about
the vibrator necklace.
- Yeah, yeah, but what
were you talking about?
[Raph laughing]
- Not wearing the f*cking necklace.
- That was gonna be your
gimme and it just...
- [Sam] That's worth a bingo ball.
- Yes! [claps]
- Yeah!
[Brennan cheers]
- Come on.
- Let's hope one of you has this next one.
- [Raph] Yes!
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- If Katie doesn't get a
number, she's gonna curse.
- 22.
- Yeah!
- No.
- [Sam] Raph with one on
the board at long last.
- Thank you.
- Yes!
- Congratulations Raph and Katie.
- [Katie] Yes.
- [Sam] Two on the board for Katie.
- [Raph] All right.
- [Sam] Katie.
- [Katie] Yes.
- [Sam] For a bingo ball.
- [Katie] Okay.
- Sing a song dedicated to Mike Trapp.
♪ Your eyes, your eyes are
like a breath of rain ♪
♪ Your hugs, your hugs
make me go totally insane ♪
[Raph and crew laughing]
♪ And there's nothing like a friendship ♪
♪ Nothing like a friendship
that's with you ♪
- Say his name!
♪ 'Cause you're my everything ♪
[Raph laughing]
- Say his name!
♪ Nothing can go wrong
'cause I've got your hugs ♪
♪ in my life ♪
♪ Your eyes, your eyes are
like a breath of rain ♪
- This is so long.
♪ Your hugs, your hugs
make me go totally insane ♪
♪ You're Mike Trapp ♪
- Oh!
♪ That's Michael Trapp ♪
♪ I know this seems like a love song ♪
♪ but it's a friend song ♪
- I'm not sure what I loved
most about that, Katie,
whether it was the boy
band style choreography.
- [laughs] Yeah.
- Or whether it was the term,
"Breath of rain."
- Which would drown you.
[cast laughing]
- A breath of rain! It's in
a lot of songs, that lyric.
- I think you might be
in love with Mike Trapp.
- What? No!
- You called him your everything.
- No, that's a friendship thing.
- His hugs make you go insane?
- Yeah, his hugs, he's so good at hugging.
- I do think it's worthy of
a ball, at the very least.
[bell rings]
- Yes!
- Let's see what the machine
has in store for you.
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- Oh.
- Oh!
- No.
- No.
- [Sam] Nothing?
- [Katie] All that.
- All that for nothing.
- Jesus!
- That's the nature of gambling.
- I know.
- You know what I mean?
Sometimes you put forth a
lot and you get back nothing,
but you know, you break even in the end.
- That's every gambler's story.
- That's every gambler's
story. You do break even.
- [Sam] That's how they always end.
- So keep gambling!
- I believe the saying is,
"The house always breaks
even with you 50-50."
- Yes, that is true.
- Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- [Sam] Yeah.
- [Brennan] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Sam] Brennan.
- [Brennan] Yep!
- [Trapp] A balrog.
- For a bingo ball,
simulate a love scene with a balrog.
- Easy. [screams wildly]
Yes! Right there! [screams frantically]
Help, help! [screams piercingly]
That's so good! Oh sh*t!
[screams distressingly]
Your tail waves so swiftly and so deep.
- What's it like to get no points on you?
- Hold on, hold on. Hold on,
he's gonna keep chattering.
- What is a balrog?
- Yeah, what is a balrog?
- What the f*ck is that?
- What's a-
- What the f*ck is that?
- What the f*ck is that?
- [P.A.] Hey, Mike.
- [Brennan] The f*cking-
- Sorry, sorry.
- Maiar spirits
that were the servants of
Melkor who was Morgoth!
"Lord of the Rings."
- [Katie] Oh, "Lord of the Rings"?
- Remember, "You shall not pass"? Gandalf?
- Yes. Oh, yes.
- Yes.
- Sorry, what do I need to do?
- [P.A.] Just tuck in
the back of your shirt.
- Okay.
[dramatic music]
- Oh, you shall not pass.
- [Brennan] Ian McKellen
puts a lot of mustard on it.
- You shall not pass.
- [Brennan] He really
goes like, "A balrog!"
♪ You shall not pass ♪
- What is that?
♪ You shall not pass ♪
- That's how he did it in the movie.
♪ You shall not pass ♪
- That was Ian McKellen?
- Yeah.
- I don't remember that.
- That's the musical.
- I'm gonna say worthy of
a bingo ball, absolutely.
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Big money, big money, big money!
- [Raph] Yeah! [cheers]
[Brennan cheers]
- 27.
- 27. Oh!
- That's one for Brennan!
- Come on!
- [Brennan] That's what I'm talking about.
- Okay. [laughs]
- Come on.
- So far, though, I will say
that neither me nor Katie have
anything that's stacking up.
- We lucky we got a lot of these.
- Hell yeah.
- Hell yeah!
- [Katie] Oh no.
- Raph.
- Yep.
[Katie screams]
- Is that a scream?
- That's a scream.
- That's a scream.
[stamper clunks]
- Raph, for a bingo ball,
show us the proper technique
for encouraging Mike Trapp-
- What is your obsession?
- [Sam] as a toddler.
- [laughs] Making them
all about Mike Trapp!
- How would you parent him encouragingly?
- Would you like me to
step in as Mike Trapp?
- Yes, please.
- Do you want me to be adult
Mike Trapp remembering this?
- Yes.
[Raph and Sam laughing]
- It's a whole tableau.
[Katie mimics crying like a baby]
- No, it's okay.
If you can do one swing on the swing,
I will let you play with all
the math puzzles that you want.
- Oh! Oh.
[Rekha sputter laughs]
[Raph laughing]
- Math puzzles?
[Raph and Sam laughing]
- I love math puzzles.
- You have such a analytical brain.
You like analyzing stuff, right?
Okay, yeah, get on in there.
All right, you're doing such a great job.
- Say his name.
- You're doing such a great job, son.
- Don't say son.
- Never gonna say my name.
- You're soaring high.
- I did it!
- Yeah, you're soaring higher than-
- Yay!
- Than "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
[Brennan laughs]
- Yay!
[Raph laughing]
- In this memory, am I being
made to swing on a swing
so that I can earn math puzzles?
- Yeah.
[cast laughing]
- Okay, wow. Never said your name.
- Yeah.
- Wow. Bravo, both of you.
- Well done.
- [Sam] Real good.
- [P.A.] Can I get you to
do that leg thing again?
- [Jess] [laughs] My god, Tao!
- [P.A.] I'm just gonna
take a couple pictures.
- She's doing it! [laughs]
I just got "takes selfie with P.A." Boom.
- Sure, we'll say a bingo ball, Raph.
- Okay, we don't have all day.
- Why not?
I'm feeling generous. Yeah,
we don't have all day.
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- Okay, I'll take it,
but it doesn't help me.
- Raph's got it!
- [Raph] I got it!
- [Brennan] Hey!
- [Sam] Got a 39!
- But it's on the other side.
- That's all of ours.
- We're getting there, though.
- Katie.
[Katie gasps]
For a bingo ball, locate
where I'm really from-
- Yes.
- on a map.
Come over to this map and point
out where I'm really from.
[Raph laughing]
- All of us are.
[Raph laughing]
- Wow.
- [Raph] She got you there.
- Wow? Wow!
Oh, "Woooo!" [laughs]
Gosh damn it! [laughs]
- Navigate this, Sam.
[Raph laughing]
- Hey, Sam...
[Sam and Raph laughing]
- Is that a threat?
- I don't think so.
- That won't hold up in court.
- Way to see through this challenge.
Way to make it your own.
- Yeah?
- Worthy of a bingo ball.
- [Brennan] Love it.
- Yeah!
- [Sam] Congratulations.
- Is there a place that
you wanted us to point to?
- I was thinking Cambridge, Massachusetts.
- 'Cause I thought you'd been here
the whole time!
- The whole time! Yes!
- Got 'em!
- That's berating Sam, for sure.
- f*cking got 'em, dude!
- That is incredible.
- [Raph] Let's go! [laughs] Let's go!
[Katie groans creepily]
- Oh, that's creepy hands! Yes!
- Bingo ball coming right up, Katie.
- And it's gonna be 61.
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- 38.
- Oh!
- [Sam] Does anybody have 38?
- No.
- No.
- [Raph] No!
- Nobody.
- This is the third ball
that is one above a number on my board.
- [Raph] Right.
[Sam laughing]
- Are you f*cking with us?
- Excuse me?
- Yeah.
- This seems like something you'd do.
- That seems like a classic
"Game Changer" comedic conceit.
- Literally, what are you talking about?
- My brain is like, unraveling at like,
numbers that are one
away, Mike Trapp, help.
[Sam and Raph laughing]
- For a bingo ball!
- Oh boy.
- Invent an exercise
called "The Conquistador"
and do 10 of them.
Do you wanna take center
stage here, Brennan?
- [Raph] Okay.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- It could be anything.
- [exhales] Okay.
Resistance here. Breathe
in. [inhales sharply]
One of history's worst villains.
- Oh, it's editorial.
- It's editorial.
- Say something in Spanish.
- Ooh, one of history's worst villains.
- Oh, you're just gonna repeat it?
- All right, have her
stand on an apple box
for the camera to see if it looks better,
and if it doesn't then we can remove it.
- [P.A.] You're short so they've
asked you to be on a box.
[Tao chuckles]
Just to see if it looks better.
[Tao, Carolyn, and Jess laughing]
[stamper clicks]
- [Cast] One of history's worst villains.
- I feel better.
- He can also go anti-capitalist.
That's fine with me, too.
- [Cast] One of history's worst villains.
One of history's worst villains.
- I believe we have one to go.
The crew is doing it for those of you-
- [Cast] One of history's worst villains.
- There you go.
- Nice!
[Raph laughing]
- [Brennan] That was a good-
- I like how
it was an exercise with a message.
- It's spiritual, mental, and
physical discipline, right?
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- [Brennan] Yeah.
- Sure, Brennan, I'll take it.
[bell rings]
- Whoo!
- It is so psycho
that I'm on an apple box
and I'm this much taller.
[bingo-double-ception team laughing]
- [Raph] Let's go, baby. Let's go!
- Let's see what the machine
has in store for you.
[Raph gasps]
- [Katie] 44?
- Hell yeah, Brennan!
- Oh no!
- [Sam] You got it!
- Oh no!
- [Sam] We're making progress, team.
- I have 45 and 43.
- I wanna express once again,
you cannot argue your way
into one of these big-
[Raph laughing]
- All right, I'll keep trying.
- Raph.
- Yeah.
- For a bingo ball, let
us write your player intro
on your forehead.
- Sure.
[Katie gasps excitedly]
Yeah, I got the most space.
[cast laughing]
Let's get it.
- Ash, if I could have the pen, please.
[warm upbeat music]
Thank you very much.
Coiner of the phrase "loop-de-loop."
- Yep, this qualifies.
- [Sam] Okay.
- [chuckles] It's like
being in the makeup chair.
- He's not gonna say it,
through. He's not gonna say it.
- Coiner of the-
- Sam is setting him up.
- I know.
- Loop-de...
- But Raph is too much of a gentleman.
[Katie giggles]
[Sam sighs proudly]
[Raph and Katie laugh]
- Thank you, Raph.
- Thank you!
- Way to take one for the team.
- [laughs] All right.
- Oh, I know what I'm gonna do.
Go get the "Um, Actually
Board Game" on the couch.
- Just keep it that.
- [P.A.] Mike, real quick.
- Keep it that. Keep.
- What's up? What's happening?
- [P.A.] They just want
a little BTS video.
- Oh, great.
- It's there on top!
[Tao and Jess laughing]
He just needs to mention "Um, Actually."
- It's covering my bingo board.
- [P.A.] What is it? What is it?
- It's the "Um, Actually Board Game."
- Yeah! Yes!
[stamper clicks]
- It comes with all kinds of corrections,
and the creepiest photo
of me you've ever seen.
[Jess and Tao laughing]
And it can be yours if you really want it.
- [P.A.] Thank you so much.
- They're just all too competitive
to clock anything's odd right now.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- That's the only thing that is saving us.
- Did he say "loop-de-loop"? Probably not.
He's a gentleman.
- I mean, if that's not worth
a bingo ball, I don't know
what's worth a bingo ball.
- Yes!
- It's gotta be.
- [Katie] Raph, let's see you.
- It's gotta be.
- Yeah! [laughs]
- Lookin' good!
- Katie's doing too good of
a job. I need to upset her.
- [Raph] Let's go, let's go!
- I'm really hoping, Raph. 20.
- Yes!
- [Sam] Hell yeah!
- [Raph] And that helps me.
- [Sam] Yeah.
- What the hell?
- Well, we are making progress here, g*ng.
- Not me.
- [Sam] Wow, the these
ba*ls are really coming up
for the right people at the right time.
- Hey!
- [Raph] Okay.
Just three more.
- How dare you?
What does that mean,
Sam? The right people?
- Touch him, touch him!
Go make your point clear!
- He's gonna say Katie. I know he is.
- Katie, for a bingo ball.
- What did I tell you?
- Post a photo
[Katie laughing]
holding a sign
[Lily laughing mischievously]
that says, "My dog is really sick.
Send good vibes."
- Oh my god!
This is the first one where I was like,
"I don't know if I can do this."
- Yeah.
- Totally.
- Where am I posting this?
- Instagram.
- Instagram. I'll do it.
- [Sam] Now-
- [laughs] Oh my god!
- I'll do it. I'm crazy,
you know I'm crazy.
I'll do it.
- You will do this?
- Let's do it.
[Sam laughing]
- I'll take this picture for you.
- Yeah.
- And I'll AirDrop it to you.
- Say your dog's name. Who's sick?
Who is sick?
- Is this good? [laughs]
- And done, Katie. I'm gonna
send that to you right now.
I'll just text it to you, Katie.
That'll be a little easier.
- Okay.
- Okay, checks phone.
- Checks phone.
Yeah, that counts.
[stamp clicks]
Don't f*ck the stamp!
- Is there anyone that you're concerned
about seeing this post?
- I am worried about
everyone seeing this post.
- [Sam] Tell me why.
- Wolf, Wetzel, Wolf, Wetzel.
- Because I think I'm known
as like, Wetzel's mom.
That's my big thing.
- Ah, sh*t.
- I'm putting, "This is
for a game show. Not true.
I'm trying to win money,
I think." [laughs]
[Sam and crew laughing]
- I hate this. It's terrible, it's awful.
- Here's the thing that
we didn't account for.
Katie's very competitive
when she needs to be.
- It has been posted.
- Whoo!
- Thank you, Katie. That
deserves a bingo ball for sure.
[bell rings]
- Yes. Well, let's go.
- Come on, baby!
- If you don't get one, I'm
gonna feel really bad about it.
Katie, do you have 42?
- [Raph] 42?
- No, I don't have 42!
[Sam sighs sadly]
This isn't right.
I'm deleting it.
- [Sam] I'm so sorry, Katie.
- And I hate you forever.
- A hate.
- A hate.
[stamper clicks]
- You're so close.
- Oh, you're so close.
- One away.
- Wow!
- What happens if they beat us?
- Let's say Elon Musk.
- Let's do it.
- [Sam] Now Brennan, I gotta say,
I am looking forward to
this, but you can refuse.
- Okay.
- Go on Instagram Live
and defend Elon Musk.
- That's a tall order.
- Oof!
[Brennan exhales sharply]
- [Raph] Yikes!
- You and Brennan are perfectly suited
for each other on this.
- [Sam] Deep breaths.
- I don't think he's gonna do it.
I think he's gonna go
on an anti-capitalist
message, is the thing.
- I understand. I know you're
a highly competitive person.
I know this is a highly competitive game,
but there's some lines
that sometimes you just don't wanna cross.
- Tell Rekha we're getting
social videos of everyone
and to talk sh*t on her competitors.
- [P.A.] Guys, can you like, talk sh*t?
- I gotta focus on what Brennan's saying.
- Turns down P.A.
[stamper clicks]
- I'm thinking of, do I want
to do this in a clever way?
And I'm balancing that against my desire
to categorically say
that I will not do this.
- He's not gonna do it.
- And refuse the call.
- Why would you not wanna do it, though?
- Clever way sounds fun.
- Like it makes good television?
[Sam and Raph laughing]
- You can probably sense
where my priorities lie.
- Let's go!
- No!
[Rekha screams]
- Screams!
[stamper clicks]
- You can stand in front
of the "Game Changer" sign
if that helps you out.
- I was gonna stand in front of this.
- We didn't bank on them all being crazy.
- But I think he's gonna
do it sarcastically
and there's gonna be-
- We didn't bank on them
wanting to win.
- I think there's gonna be
some anti-capitalist in there.
- He might do the "get in the comments."
- Everyone shut up! I gotta listen!
- Okay, how does Instagram work?
- I have no idea.
- [Sam] Oh! [laughs]
- Raph's hands are on his hips!
- Okay, we're going live.
Just wanted to come in here.
[clears throat pointedly]
[Sam cackling]
A lot of people have been saying
that Elon Musk is a...
singularly evil,
[Sam laughing]
wildly incompetent,
befuddled nepo baby
silver spoon m*therf*cker.
A guy born under literally
the wealth of apartheid,
one of the most evil systems of oppression
in the history of the planet.
People are saying that
there's no vision that he had
either for Tesla or for PayPal.
Companies can spend their entire
lives trying to get a piece
of nomenclature that is corporate IP brand
of like BAND-AID for bandages.
We were all saying tweet
and he got rid of that
and replaced it with post.
Some people are saying
that we're living in a time
where we are watching
maybe the biggest example
of why capitalism doesn't work
and why these billionaires
are actually often
the least deserving people you know.
- Get three bottles of water.
Offer each of them water
and then a fist bump after.
- If we get the fist bump,
then I only need one more.
- These are assholes that
got lucky at the casino,
and the entire wealth infrastructure
of corporate ownership
is in fact basically a fraud,
and these people are born on third base.
- Fist bumps P.A.
- Come on, do it, Trapp.
- [Brennan] And our digital public squares
are forever ruined by their horrible,
increasingly right-wing-
- Yeah, fist bumps P.A.
- [Brennan] Fascist ideologies.
This as*h*le in a back room-
- Wait, did Rekha fist bump?
- [Brennan] Sits on a f*cking board.
- Turns down P.A.
- What a true dyed-in-the-wool moron.
This is what people are saying.
Sometimes when you say true stuff...
[Raph laughing]
- Wait a second!
- Yeah, what's that?
- Defend?
- Oh, sorry, what's the prompt?
- [Sam] Defend Elon Musk!
- Elon Musk, if you're watching this,
make sure to get eight
hours of sleep every night
'cause otherwise you can
develop some cortisol levels
that are unhealthy.
- Okay, yeah.
- So, have I defended him from-
- Yes, yes.
- Great. Cool.
- [Sam] Absolutely, you have.
- I thought he'd say "Let me be clear"
or "1,000 percent" in there somewhere.
- We don't know our friends
the way we think we do.
- [Trapp] I know.
- They're not pull-string
dolls for our amusement!
- Well, if that's not
worth a bingo ball, my god.
- Yeah!
- Let's get it.
[Brennan cheers]
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
Come on.
- [Sam] Lucky number 69, anybody?
- Nice!
- [Sam] 69!
- That's not funny.
- No!
- It's not on here.
- It's not funny.
- [Katie] No.
- Raph, I'm looking at it.
[Raph laughing]
- I take everything back.
It's fantastic. [laughs]
- Sam, why am I not getting any?
[Raph chuckling]
Is this a big joke against
me? Is that what this is?
- [Sam] Absolutely not.
- Wow, Katie looked up,
and I felt like she looked right into me.
- That's guilt.
[Lily giggles]
You feel guilt.
- Raph.
- Yes,
that's my name.
- For a bingo ball,
comment your player intro
under Brennan's last post
in the style of a baby.
So whatever Brennan
posted last to Instagram,
I want you to comment your intro,
which I'll remind you is on your forehead.
- Which I can't see.
- It's, "The coiner
of the phrase loop-de-loop."
- Okay.
- Put that under Brennan's last post
in the style of a baby.
- If he says "whoop-de-whoop,"
that's not loop-de-loop.
- It counts, it counts, Lily.
Get outta here.
- It does not count.
- You know, really up
for interpretation here.
- Uh-huh.
- I mean, baby, toddler,
someone for whom writing is new.
- [gasps excitedly] I have an idea.
[Brennan laughs]
- Great.
- So my little baby niece.
- Yeah.
- She will sometimes
take a phone by accident.
- [Sam] Yes.
- Yes.
- And just sort of, whoo,
and then send it somehow
and you get a bunch of just sh*t, nothing.
- No, Katie, that's not
what we want! [laughs]
- But it's from a baby.
- Yeah.
- f*ck her up!
- [Sam] Oh, like a bunch
of like, emojis?
- [Katie] A bunch of stuff.
- f*ck her up, Katie!
- Just like letters and...
[Sam chuckles]
Sort of letters and...
- Those hands are creepy also.
- Maybe the only word
that a baby would even say
out of that phrase is "loop-de-loop."
[stamper clicks]
- sh*t!
- I'd love to know what you're gonna do.
- I'm gonna go with just
smashing a bunch of keys.
- And now at this point,
[Raph groans]
the baby's mom would take the phone away.
- Na na na na.
- Raph, no!
[Raph whining]
Not with Mommy's phone!
Not with Mommy's phone!
[Raph bawling]
Oh, cute! Cute!
- And then you posted it?
- I did.
- Okay, it's registering.
"H eccrc CV in by ehvvuntcrccjdvghjfghg,
crying, fire, crying, de."
[Raph laughing]
[Katie clapping]
- Way to go, Raphael.
- [Raph] That's me as a baby.
- Bingo ball in the works!
- [Katie] Yes!
- [Brennan] Whoo-hoo!
- [Raph] Yes!
- I think Lily's gonna get it on this one,
but let's get ready.
- Fingers crossed.
- Come on!
- [Katie] Come on.
- Come on, just...
- 63.
- 63.
- [Sam] 60-
[stamper clicks]
Oh, I heard it, Katie!
- Finally!
- There we go.
- [Sam] And Raph!
[stamper clicks]
- Sorry about that.
- [Sam] Wow!
- [Katie] Stop it.
- [Raph] We'll see what happens.
- Is the prank that I'm
sad? Is that what it is?
[Sam and Raph laughing]
Is that the bit?
Are we all laughing that
Katie Marovitch is sad?
- [Sam] Are you sad, Katie?
- [P.A.] Didn't she refer
to herself in third-person?
- Yes!
- Katie Marovitch, nice.
- I should be winning!
- But Katie, Brennan also only has three.
- Yeah, but I need this.
- Why, Katie? Why do you need this?
- I need money if we're
getting money. Are we?
Is this leading to money? [laughs]
- We are being compensated
no matter how this goes.
- That's true, that's true.
There's money involved.
- Wait, Sam said I only
get money if I win. What?
- That's Katie's deal
on every "Game Changer."
Katie gets a day rate if she wins.
- I've never been paid.
- You know, we don't
have very much time left
in this episode so I really hope
that one of you gets this soon, Katie.
- I'm starting to think
this is not winnable.
- [Sam] For a bingo ball...
- I think the prompt I
just came up for Katie
is a stroke of genius.
- Then that means it's bad, Lily.
- I think I'm an evil genius.
- [laughs] If you think it is.
I think you're crazy.
- Text your husband from Sam's phone
[Raph and Katie laughing]
and tell him how Katie's
doing a bad job at the game.
- Love it, love it!
- I will-
- I feel like you like this one.
- I will do this.
- [Sam] I feel like you like this one.
- [Katie] He'll find this very funny.
- Does Wolf have your phone in his phone?
- Definitely, definitely not.
- I can give it. It's-
- You can type it in.
- 64...
I want everyone to have it.
- Oh, she touched him! Did she say "Wolf?"
- No.
- No.
- Here, you go. Repeats or
fist bumps is good for you.
- I didn't get the first bump.
If she goes in for another
fist bump that's...
- She can collect the waters,
go in for the fist bump instead.
[Carolyn and Jess laughing]
- [tapping podium thoughtfully]
Something's going on.
- He's gonna start
speculating about the twist.
Come on, do it. You know you want to.
- There's more than this.
[Brennan tapping pensive clockwork rhythm]
- This is the noise that's
happening in my head
at all times.
[Sam laughing]
- [Jess] So you're gonna grab the waters,
go for a fist bump again,
and then make Rekha fist bump you twice.
Oh, this poor woman! [laughs]
I'm like, crawling in my skin.
- [P.A.] Psst.
- Uh, er, oh. [chuckles]
[Jess and Tao laughing]
- [P.A.] No, that wasn't perfect.
[Carolyn laughing]
[Jess shouts exuberantly]
- Oh my god! Oh my god!
Bingo! Bingo!
[triumphant music]
- [Carolyn] Let's go!
- Here you are.
- No, read it out loud, Katie!
- "Hey Wolf, it's Sam Reich.
I wanted to let you know
that Katie is in last place
on 'Game Changers'" with an S.
Little pet peeve of mine.
"A Dropout show I host."
So he doesn't know.
- He might know.
- [Raph] Yeah.
- "She also just asked if the
prank was 'making her sad.'"
[Raph laughing]
I really like how this
is unquestionably you.
- Why didn't you say your
husband's name, you harlot!
- I'll let you know if I
receive a response, Katie,
but in the meanwhile-
- Yes.
- That's a bingo ball!
- [Brennan] Let's do it.
- Yes!
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- What do we feel about 58?
- Not great.
- [Raph] We hate it.
- One away.
- We hate it.
- [Katie] Not great.
- Well, that's too bad.
- What the hell is this?
What are we doing here?
- Brennan.
- It's so interesting
what's happening here
in this episode, Samuel.
- He's making us crazed.
- We've answered quite
a few of these prompts,
and you've just mentioned that
we're running out of time.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- And yet I don't perceive
a sense of urgency
either in you as a host
or in any of the crew.
- That count for a mention of the crew?
- What's going on here?
- There's something at work
here which is rather sinister.
- I'm gonna say that's
speculating about the twist.
- [Sam] For a bingo ball,
show us your friend's tie.
- What?
- I want him to touch Sam.
- Oh.
[Brennan aggressively taps tie]
Nice.
[Trapp laughs]
- Oh, he's one away.
- Oh!
- Yeah, I mean, I gotta count
myself a friend of Brennan.
I think that works.
- I consider you a friend,
which makes the fact that
you're f*cking with me
all the more a betrayal!
[Sam laughing]
- Betrayal!
- That's a bingo ball.
- Yeah!
- What are we doing?
[fan humming]
[ba*ls tapping]
- 61, anybody?
- [Katie] I have it.
[Sam gasps]
- Oh, Katie!
- Katie has it,
and that's three in a row for Katie!
- Wow, Katie's about to win.
- Katie getting real close.
- Come on, Katie.
- Raph.
- Yeah.
- For a bingo ball.
- [Raph] Okay.
- [Sam] Make as many
personalized digs at Brennan
[Katie gasps dramatically]
as you can.
- Personalized digs at Brennan. You...
What was that called? Broggle f*ck!
What was that thing called?
- What?
- [Sam] Wow!
- [laughs] Baffles other players for sure.
- [Raph] Is it broggle?
- I believe you're looking for
balrog if I'm not mistaken.
- Balrog! [laughs]
- You balrog f*ck.
- Nothing you say is gonna be as hurtful
as you calling balrogs broggles.
[cast laughing]
- Whether that really
counts as personalized,
I don't know, Raph.
- Hurt me.
[Raph giggling]
- He wants it.
- [Katie] Hurt him.
- He's asking for it.
- [Brennan] Raph.
- Oh, you love Elon. We all just heard it!
- Yes!
- We all saw
how much you love Elon Musk.
- We all heard it.
- I need him to stay in
the public consciousness
so people can keep saying we look alike.
- [Sam] [laughs] Oh, oh!
- Say "Let me be clear!" [laughs]
- You don't speak Tatooane.
- What?
[Sam and Raph laughing]
- Tattooane.
- It's true. I've never heard-
- Are you trying to say Tatooine?
- Damn! [laughs] Tatooine.
- Which is, let me be clear, a planet.
- Let me be clear! Bingo!
- But you don't speak it.
- [Sam] And not a language?
[Lily and Rekha cheer]
- [Raph] That not a language on Tatooine?
- Well, they speak Galactic Basic,
but I'm not on "Um Actually" right now.
What am I doing?
[Sam laughing]
Tatooane. Just gotta try your best.
- That's a bingo ball!
- Yes!
- Come on.
- [Brennan] Come on.
- [Raph] Come on now. 68, 62.
- I'm due, I'm due.
- [Raph] Let's go.
- 26. Do I see 26?
- No.
- No.
- Nobody?
- Not from me.
- No. You know we don't have it.
- You knew that.
You're pretending.
- [Sam] Sorry, g*ng.
- [Katie] Look at you.
- What is happening?
- Well, players, that brings
us to the end of our game,
but unfortunately none of you got bingo.
That said, we do have a winner.
[Katie gasps excitedly]
Yeah!
- Hello, hello, hello.
- Welcome, players. [clapping]
- What is happening?
- So Trapp, could you do me a favor
and read your winning bingo line aloud?
- "Let me be clear."
- [Sam] It's number one.
- [Lily] In quotes.
- Monologue lasting over 10 seconds.
- g*dd*mn it! g*dd*mn it!
[cast laughing]
- Number three is, "Hell yeah!"
- [Sam] Yeah, of course it is.
- [Trapp] Number four is
anti-capitalist message.
[cast laughing]
- And what was number five?
- Of course the last one is,
touches Sam, your friend with a tie.
- And...
- [Raph] Yeah!
- The players in the green room
have been filling in the
blanks for these challenges.
- Katie, I'm so sorry.
- [Sam] The entire time.
- Wait, these prompts?
- [Sam] So all the fill in the blanks.
- Were us.
- Were us fill-
- Were from the players upstairs.
- Right.
- [Katie] Oh.
- That brings us to the end of our show.
Our winner tonight with bingo...
Jess Ross!
- g*dd*mn it!
- [Sam] Jess!
- What?
- Yes, yes!
- [Rekha] Wait a minute!
[cast shouting]
- Yes, come out. Come on out, come on out.
Yes!
[cast shouting and screaming excitedly]
- Inception noise, Inception
noise, Inception noise!
[lively exuberant music]
[Sam laughing]
- Jess, can you read
your winning bingo line?
- I can. I had "turns down P.A."
That was the first time
you didn't fist pump
when you were handed a glass of water.
[cast laughing]
[Sam clapping]
Then you did fist pump the P.A.
so I have that one.
- Okay.
- You screamed.
- Incredible.
- You whispered with the P.A.
when your mic pack was checked.
- Wow, a lot of P.A. stuff.
- And then you repeated something
when you double fist pumped the P.A.
- My god.
- I'm confused.
- All the P.A. checks were
all prompts from you guys?
- The P.A. is a plant.
- We Impractical Jokered.
[Lily screams]
- The wonderful Kaylin Mahoney
- [Tao] Incredible, incredible.
[cast cheering]
- [Sam] Brennan, are you okay?
- Say you're sweating a river
'cause then I can stamp that in my-
[cast laughing]
- I said it on mic just
before cameras were rolling.
- Jess Ross is our winner.
[cast cheers and claps]
You win this lovely gift basket.
- Oh, thank you.
- Ooh!
- A real bingo prize for a bingo winner.
- [Rekha] Okay.
- Oh!
- That does it for us
here at "Game Changer."
I am your host, Sam Reich,
wishing you luck down the
line and across the board.
Good night.
