Speaker A:Fuck you guys.
Speaker C:Did your.
Speaker C:Did your mom use the wooden spoon or the chocolate?
Speaker C:Discipline.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:So she was actually the more mellow one with that.
Speaker B:It was my dad with a solid wood thick ass paddle.
Speaker B:Oh, Jesus.
Speaker B:And it was like he was trying to hit a 95 mile an hour fastball.
Speaker A:What I just imagine is because he drill holes in it to make it more aerodynamic.
Speaker A:Nope.
Speaker C:Yeah, right.
Speaker A:You know, like what?
Speaker A:I imagine cedar.
Speaker A:Like, no, it wasn't my mom, it was my dad.

Speaker D:Do it.
Speaker C:Do it.
Speaker B:No, I. I think.
Speaker B:I think that made her feel bad.

Speaker A:She's like, cj, I will never hit you in your life.
Speaker A:Get him.
Speaker B:Music.
Speaker C:Yeah,.
Speaker A:They do one of those, like, the.
Speaker B:What is it?
Speaker D:The.
Speaker A:The bad boys hand thing where they miss the first one, they slap underneath.
Speaker C:Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker C:And dad comes in with the paddle chair.
Speaker B:It was that or like, seven hours straight at a door.
Speaker B:And anytime I breathed too loud, that would add on another hour.
Speaker A:Could be worse, dude.
Speaker A:He could have been practicing his Muay Thai on you.
Speaker A:All right, so you come here.
Speaker A:Give me your wrist.
Speaker A:We're gonna try a new wrist lock.
Speaker A:Yeah, No, I swear to God, I'll do my homework.

Speaker A:I want everybody who's listening.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker B:Swinging.
Speaker A:I want.
Speaker A:When I want everybody who listens to this episode go back and listen to the fact that I said friendly.
Speaker A:The friendly was in there.
Speaker C:Yeah, she just came straight out the gate.
Speaker D:But that is being like.
Speaker D:Okay, but if I call you a good bitch, it's like, I mean it in, like, a loving way.
Speaker A:Do you?
Speaker B:It's like, there's no ill intent.
Speaker A:That didn't sound very loving.
Speaker C:How could you take rat face as an insult?
Speaker C:Like, I just don't get it.
Speaker A:Yeah, I know.
Speaker A:Like, I will cut you.
Speaker A:I don't know how you can misinterpret that.
Speaker A:That's nothing but friendly.

Speaker D:This is.
Speaker D:This is probably why I don't have a lot of friends.
Speaker A:Listen, My loving taunts really scare people.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:Like, I listen.
Speaker D:This is how I make friends.
Speaker D:Like, if you can't handle that, I can be super mean.

Speaker C:And then you're just like, I love you too, buddy.
Speaker C:And then you just hug them and it's like, can I Have five bucks, please.
Speaker A:God damn it.
Speaker A:Front row seats.
Speaker A:The Weird Al Yankovic.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker C:Damn it.
Speaker A:All right, fine.

Speaker A:Friendly banter.
Speaker C:Friendly banter.
Speaker B:Well, I mean, John does at least need to get one pop off.
Speaker C:One pop off.
Speaker B:I mean, go for many.

Speaker A:Hold on.
Speaker A:Can we make that a clip where Joe's like, little, little.
Speaker A:We need that as a button.
Speaker E:I want that.
Speaker C:Honestly, at this point, I think the only thing I have to say is bring it a little bit more confidence.
Speaker C:A little bit more confidence.
Speaker A:This is the banter we wanted.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:We did like the banter.
Speaker A:All the other people, and they're like, you're going down.
Speaker A:You're going.
Speaker A:And then I don't know what to say.
Speaker A:I was like, I feel terrible for whoever has to play.
Speaker A:Whoever wins this in the next round.
Speaker B:That's gonna be awesome.
Speaker A:We're gonna give you guys.
Speaker A:We're gonna give you guys 20 seconds on a freestyle.

Speaker A:New great D20 collab with reps and respawn.
Speaker A:Thank you for sponsoring the season mandatory.
Speaker A:We're gonna roll.
Speaker A:You guys call evens or odds, and then we'll get to see which one of you guys gets to roll to pick the first game.

Speaker A:For the next.
Speaker A:What season is this?
Speaker E:4.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:For season 5, can we have a segment which is called tomato talk, where we just come back to gaming craze?
Speaker A:Talk about tomatoes.
Speaker C:Hell, yeah.
Speaker C:Did you know tomatoes are nitrogen producers?
Speaker C:So they use nitrogen to produce the tomatoes, and then if you plant beans with the tomatoes.
Speaker C:Beans are nitrogen fixers.
Speaker C:So they take nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil.
Speaker C:So they.
Speaker C:They work well for companion plants.
Speaker A:No shit.
Speaker A:That's crazy.
Speaker A:I didn't know.
Speaker A:See, tomato talk needs to happen.
Speaker B:Tomatoes give beans to a kid for your nose.
Speaker C:Yeah, right.
Speaker D:I feel like I'M like, super high.
Speaker D:Like, what tomatoes?
Speaker B:Joke's on you guys.
Speaker B:As soon as this episode started, I had an aroma emit from your microphones, and it was sleepy time juice.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:Yeah, that's probably why you don't.
Speaker B:You know, it's seeming kind of odd.
Speaker E:This is just some of the digital Diddy juice.
Speaker C:Hey, if you're going to take advantage of me, you need to be at least closer than five states.
Speaker A:We'll see you in three to five business days.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker C:I'll.
Speaker C:I'll wake up, and then you'll still have, like, four days to get here.
Speaker A:I'm on my way.
Speaker A:Digital Chloroform.
Speaker A:All right, Dante, what'd they win?
Speaker E:So this is actually pretty great and kind of fitting.
Speaker E:The game is going to be called Weaponized Compliments.
Speaker E:This is going to be a creative game masked as praise.
Speaker E:So basically, you guys are going to be insulting each other with compliments.
Speaker E:We're going to give you a topic, you guys are going to alternate insults back and forth, and we're going to judge the best line.
Speaker A:You do get style points if it's hilarious.
Speaker C:Oh, boy.
Speaker D:Oh, God.
Speaker C:Oh, boy.
Speaker A:So, cj, you would.
Speaker A:Would you care to.
Speaker A:We're gonna demonstrate real quick.
Speaker A:Ready?
Speaker A:Beautiful.
Speaker A:You know, tomato heaven.
Speaker B:Tomato that can't afford a tomato.
Speaker B:You're gorgeous.
Speaker A:I think we're doing it wrong.
Speaker B:Yeah, you, sir, are too handsome.
Speaker C:But it has to be aggressive, you know?
Speaker A:What the hell is that?
Speaker E:An insult?
Speaker B:I thought you said we had an insult with compliments.
Speaker E:Yeah, you could be like, oh, my gosh, you are the smartest person on the short bus.
Speaker E:I don't know.
Speaker A:You're the smartest dumbass I know.
Speaker C:Oh, so you mean like a neck?
Speaker C:Like a negative compliment?
Speaker A:Like a bad compliment?
Speaker C:Yeah, so, like, like, that's how you.
Speaker B:Should have framed it.
Speaker B:Damn it.
Speaker A:Little.
Speaker A:Can I just be the.
Speaker A:Can that please just be the title for this episode?
Speaker A:Tomatoes and Little.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Oh, man, that was hilarious.
Speaker A:We gotta clip that for sure.
Speaker A:All right, so it's basically just a game where you keep one upping each other with backhanded compliments.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker E:All right, so we're gonna give you a prompt.
Speaker A:Dude, you've been training for the.
Speaker A:How long have you and your wife been together?
Speaker C:10 Years.
Speaker A:You've been.
Speaker A:You have 10 years worth of training, dog.
Speaker A:You got this.
Speaker C:We'll see.
Speaker E:Your prompt first Joe, to start with is going to be intelligence.
Speaker D:Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker D:Oh, like, how mean do I be?
Speaker D:Okay,.
Speaker B:So we know it's all friendly banter, but I say, in the heat of competition, go as you would to your actual opponents.
Speaker B:All this fair and love and war.
Speaker B:Because at the end of the day, we can still shake hands and know that we are all friends here.
Speaker A:How hard should I go?
Speaker A:How badly you want to win?
Speaker E:He said that cats suck, so, you know, keep that in mind.
Speaker D:Oh, okay, Right, fine.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker D:You said intelligence.
Speaker E:Yep.
Speaker D:Intelligence.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:You know, you're the kind of genius that makes people Google words mid conversation just to keep up.
Speaker D:Like, you give off that kind of vibe.
Speaker C:Good.
Speaker C:That's what I want.
Speaker C:All right, so your intelligence is the reason why I'm homeschooling my children.
Speaker C:Like, I see.
Speaker C:I see kids like you on the bus, and I'm like, I'm so glad I'm homeschooling my kids.
Speaker D:Okay, okay.
Speaker D:You speak, like, every sentence should be, like, archived in a museum, like, just forever.
Speaker D:Or, like, you should just, you know, just keep it there forever, you know?
Speaker C:And you speak with a lack of confidence that is equivalent to the intelligence.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker E:All right.
Speaker A:I think we give John the point on that one.
Speaker E:I wanna.
Speaker E:I. I want to give John the point on that, but I also want to give him a style point for the homeschool comment.
Speaker E:That was.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:That was true.
Speaker C:I am homesch my.
Speaker C:We are homeschooling our children.
Speaker A:You can.
Speaker A:She's about to pull out all reliable.
Speaker B:No, no, no.
Speaker B:I wish I could, but that speaks for the intelligence of a lot of people here in the US like, as an example, if you watch a video on TikTok and learn that, hey, guys, we're gonna do a go try and kick in someone's door in the middle of a night in a state where as soon as you hear that, you know something bad is going to happen through the door and you have kids dying for no reason, you know something's going on.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I want to remind.
Speaker B:Happened here a lot.
Speaker A:I would like to remind all of our listeners in Arizona and then maybe Texas.
Speaker A:Those are open carry states.
Speaker A:Y' all gotta be careful with what y' all doing.
Speaker A:Yeah, I saw a video with these two teenage kids.
Speaker A:Like, it was up.
Speaker A:They had, like, a big cup of soda.
Speaker A:And then this little girl was, like, walking out her apartment, and they just, like, threw the cup of soda at her.
Speaker A:I was like, why?
Speaker A:Why would you do that?
Speaker A:The kid's like, four.
Speaker A:I was like, jesus.
Speaker D:Ew.
Speaker A:I was like, yeah, I gotta be careful what y' all doing.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:There was also a challenge of seeing who could keep their arms On a burning stove the longest.
Speaker A:And I won.
Speaker D:Geniuses.
Speaker A:We're here for a good time, not a long time.
Speaker D:Clearly.
Speaker A:All right, Dante, you want to give up the next prompt?
Speaker E:All right, John, your prompt to start with is going to be combat ability.
Speaker C:Combat abilities.
Speaker D:All right.
Speaker C:Oh, okay.
Speaker C:Your stature is so small, you make a dagger look big.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:You fight like a loading screen NPC who accidentally became playable.
Speaker B:Oh,.
Speaker A:That's a style point if I ever heard one.
Speaker A:Oof.
Speaker C:Okay, that.
Speaker A:Where's my inhaler?
Speaker A:I took my birth away.
Speaker C:That was flawless combat.
Speaker C:Okay.
Speaker B:Flawless victory.
Speaker B:Oh, sorry.
Speaker A:I had to.
Speaker C:Nice.
Speaker C:I got nothing.
Speaker C:A little.
Speaker C:Yeah, right.
Speaker A:I bet you.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:No kidding.
Speaker C:Get me on gardening.
Speaker C:Let's go.
Speaker A:Okay, so I think Joe got the point on that one.
Speaker C:I would say so.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker C:I couldn't think of anything.
Speaker A:Oh, that was the she's.
Speaker A:That was a 1, 2 combo there.
Speaker C:Yeah, specialty.
Speaker A:But your tomatoes are wilted.
Speaker C:Not getting enough sunlight.
Speaker B:You're getting real saucy, ain't you?
Speaker A:All right, Dante, you mind if I throw the last one out?
Speaker E:Go for it, dude.
Speaker A:The last one is arcane prowess.
Speaker D:Arcane what?
Speaker A:Arcane prowess.
Speaker D:Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker D:Oh, my God.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:You cast spells like you found wizardry in, like, a clearance bin.
Speaker C:Oh, all right, let's see.
Speaker C:When you cast fireball, it comes out fire bolt.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker A:Did he just mic drop you?
Speaker E:Damn.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Mic drop.
Speaker A:I know that was unintentional, but that's a style point.
Speaker C:Hell, yeah.
Speaker D:Wow.
Speaker A:That's a style point for both of them.
Speaker A:The clearance bin was pretty good too.
Speaker C:That was pretty good, actually.
Speaker D:Okay, cool.
Speaker D:Cool.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:Your arcane presence feels like a cursed customer service call.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker C:Ooh.
Speaker C:Curse customer service.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker C:You are, like.
Speaker C:You're the kind of wizard that's like the off brand of, like, the, like, the name brand cereal.
Speaker C:So, like, you're the generic brand wizard.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:You use magic the way that raccoons use electricity.
Speaker D:Not very well.
Speaker C:Oh, man.
Speaker C:See, the thing is, is you would.
Speaker C:You would be the kind of person who would need the spell book, whereas I would be more like the sorcerer where it's more just natural.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:I mean, the only thing more unstable than your spells is your ego at this point.
Speaker C:That's fair.
Speaker C:That's fair.
Speaker B:Shots fired.
Speaker C:And I think.
Speaker C:I think you're just gonna have to end it on that one.
Speaker C:That was pretty good.
Speaker E:I love the boom.
Speaker E:The clarifier with the raccoon one.
Speaker C:Nothing.
Speaker C:I can't be me.
Speaker C:I can't be mean.
Speaker D:Hey, they could be.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker A:All right, so at the end of that game with style points, it's Joe has four, John has three.
Speaker C:Hell yeah.
Speaker C:Not doing too bad.
Speaker A:That was insane.
Speaker A:Remember how we made this?
Speaker A:He made this whole season four premise with, like, friendship in mind.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Oh, was that.
Speaker D:I didn't get that memo.
Speaker C:Yeah, well, it would.
Speaker C:I think it would be more natural if we knew each other before this, but we're like, first time meeting someone and then you're like, little.
Speaker C:Like, it's hard to.
Speaker D:That's true.
Speaker A:She came to win.
Speaker D:It either makes or breaks friendship.
Speaker C:She held back.
Speaker C:She did hold back, though.
Speaker C:So I will say if she were more comfortable, she wouldn't.
Speaker E:She could have said big, so, you.
Speaker D:Know, I could have.
Speaker D:Which could have been even worse.
Speaker C:I've lost, you know, like, is that.
Speaker B:Like little baby and her mother, regular sized Deborah.
Speaker A:That was great.
Speaker D:I mean, anyone that knows me knows that and anyone that is listening knows that I definitely held back.
Speaker D:And I have, like, so many of my friends voices in my head being like, chill out.
Speaker D:It's.
Speaker D:It's just a game because I'm super competitive.
Speaker D:So competitive.
Speaker D:My partner refuses to play anything.
Speaker D:I can't play games.
Speaker D:I can't play co op games.
Speaker D:I am not fun to play with at all.
Speaker A:We played Monopoly one time and she threw the board at me.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:She beat me into submission with the board.
Speaker A:I was like, no, stop.
Speaker B:Yeah, he has.
Speaker B:Well, he has a crazy scar on his knee from when she dragged him across the carpet outside to throw him in a spot that she marked as go.
Speaker A:She beat me until I signed over the titles to all my properties.
Speaker D:She's like, I actually did do that to my brother.
Speaker D:I did do that to him.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:He wouldn't give me.
Speaker D:So I was.
Speaker D:I say young, right?
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:This wasn't that long ago.
Speaker A:This is like a month ago.
Speaker D:But I. I needed one hand to win.
Speaker D:Like, I just needed that little win to feel good, and he wouldn't give me it.
Speaker D:So then I just started, like, kicking him under the table.
Speaker D:And then he was like, he's up hitting me.
Speaker D:And then, yeah, he eventually was so scared of me that he just gave me it.
Speaker D:And I don't know if that's like, a good thing that I won, but, like, it gets to a point where even, like, my partner is like, I'm not playing any games with you.
Speaker D:And if we have board games night, I'm not allowed to be in control.
Speaker E:Of any of it.
Speaker A:I vote we.
Speaker A:I vote that we pass a movement to strike that victory from the records.
Speaker D:Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker C:She's sitting on.
Speaker C:I know where you live.
Speaker C:Stop hitting yourself.
Speaker C:Stop hitting yourself.
Speaker C:Why are you hitting yourself?
Speaker C:Stop hitting yourself.
Speaker C:Stop hitting yourself.
Speaker C:Give me the property.
Speaker C:Stop hitting yourself.
Speaker B:You know where I live.
Speaker B:He's somewhere else.
Speaker A:I'm in an undisclosed bunker.
Speaker A:All right, whose turn is to roll?
Speaker A:I forgot.
Speaker C:Probably mine.
Speaker B:Lock him up there.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:All right, roll that D6.
Speaker A:See what game you got.
Speaker C:You guys, number two dose.
Speaker E:All right, So this one is called Memory Rewrite.
Speaker E:It's going to be a shared storytelling game where reality is very unstable.
Speaker E:The host is going to be rewriting reality mid story, forcing contestants to adapt instantly while maintaining the narrative consistency.
Speaker E:So at any time, me, Rudy, and CJ are going to be interrupting you with, that's not what happened.
Speaker E:And we're going to introduce a new rule or fact to the scenario.
Speaker E:You guys are gonna have to accept it immediately and justify it within the story back and forth.
Speaker E:Okay, we're gonna start with a grounded scenario, and you guys are gonna begin building the story for a good two or three minutes, going back and forth.
Speaker E:And then we're gonna begin introducing little rewrites, and it's gonna gradually escalate.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker B:Before we fully dive in, I'm just gonna go out here and say, I think Dante might have actually earned himself a raise this season because these games have been peak.
Speaker B:I think he can have the title the game master.
Speaker A:He's earned his ham sandwich this season.
Speaker E:Yeah, I finally get my sandwich.
Speaker B:Yep.
Speaker B:I'll have it ready for you.
Speaker E:I. I want to watch you make it.
Speaker E:I don't trust you there.
Speaker A:I want to watch you make it.
Speaker A:I was like, ew, what is that movie?
Speaker A:Ghost.
Speaker A:He's gonna come behind him.
Speaker A:Ghost.
Speaker A:Start holding him while he makes a sandwich.
Speaker C:There you go.
Speaker E:There you go.
Speaker C:Work together.
Speaker A:I'm gonna be in the background singing Unchained Melody.
Speaker A:It's a team building exercise.
Speaker C:Now that needs to be a clip or something you guys post.
Speaker C:It's just that image.
Speaker C:It can be AI or real.
Speaker A:It's promotional for the season.
Speaker A:It's gonna be real.
Speaker C:Gotta be real.
Speaker C:And all of you need to be shirtless.
Speaker C:That has to happen.
Speaker A:I don't think anybody wants that.
Speaker C:Don't think too soon.
Speaker B:You can't handle the mid drift, our first prompt.
Speaker E:And John, because you.
Speaker E:This is your game.
Speaker E:You're gonna be starting this off.
Speaker E:Okay, you're gonna give us a couple lines about the story, what you guys are doing.
Speaker E:Our prompt is Going to be.
Speaker E:You guys are investigating a haunted inn.
Speaker C:All right, so we.
Speaker C:We left the police station because we were hired by the townspeople to investigate some strange things that were happening at this inn.
Speaker C:And now we're at the front door, and it's a really, really old wooden door with like the brass knocks.
Speaker C:The brass door knock on it.
Speaker C:And it's like the.
Speaker C:Like a lion crest on it.
Speaker C:So we go to open the door first, and it's locked.
Speaker C:But then.
Speaker C:So we.
Speaker C:We go around, we check the windows.
Speaker C:It's still.
Speaker C:They're still locked.
Speaker C:We go back to the front door.
Speaker C:It's unlocked and now open.
Speaker C:So as we walk inside, there's a hallway and there's doors on either side.
Speaker C:And then there's stairs to go upstairs and some stairs to go downstairs.
Speaker C:And so we walk in, there's the front desk, and at the front desk there's a bell.
Speaker C:And this bell is.
Speaker C:It's strange because it's new.
Speaker C:Like, it's new almost as if it was just put there.
Speaker C:Like it was just cleaned really weird, really out of place for just the way that this place is just run down.
Speaker C:Like it's just this rundown hotel and it makes no sense as to why this bell would be there.
Speaker C:So as we actually.
Speaker B:Real quick.
Speaker A:So real quick.
Speaker A:This is the bed and breakfast.
Speaker A:The haunted hotel you're looking for is two blocks down.
Speaker C:Shoot, I could have swore it was the haunted hotel.
Speaker C:Every.
Speaker C:I'm.
Speaker C:I'm so sorry.
Speaker C:I'm.
Speaker C:So anyway, so I leave the bed and breakfast little.
Speaker C:Anyway, so I leave the bed and breakfast.
Speaker A:I go down bed and breakfast.
Speaker C:I go down the street.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:And that's the thing, that's the weird thing about this is it's almost as if when you walk through the threshold in the first.
Speaker C:When I first described it, like something took over, like something was there, like you felt a presence, as if something is changing your memories and changing the things that you see.
Speaker C:So we go back to the same thing I just described.
Speaker C:Back to the hotel, exact same description.
Speaker C:Walk in, we're at the.
Speaker C:The counter.
Speaker C:And that bell is really important to focus on the bell because it's very important that you.
Speaker C:That you keep that in mind because again, it's.
Speaker C:It's brand new and it shouldn't be because this is run down, old, abandoned.
Speaker C:You wouldn't think it would be there.
Speaker C:So then as you're walking through the lobby, we.
Speaker C:We kind of.
Speaker C:We're going to check behind the desk.
Speaker C:We're going to look for any clues there.
Speaker C:There's you know, paperwork, files, stuff like that.
Speaker C:All of, you know, like, the cubbies that you see at the front with, like, behind the front desk, where there's, like, mail, or there's, like, the little cabinet with the keys.
Speaker C:There's, like, the cash registers, if there's any stuff like that.
Speaker B:So actually, what happened is that was all in your head.
Speaker B:You just woke up from a nap, and for some reason, you are in a straight jacket.
Speaker C:Straight jacket.
Speaker D:So tell me a little bit more.
Speaker D:Tell me a little bit more about this.
Speaker C:This.
Speaker D:This vision that you keep seeing and, you know, these.
Speaker D:These horrible dreams that you're having that you.
Speaker D:You know, you're.
Speaker D:You're some sort of detective.
Speaker D:Was it that you're.
Speaker D:Or you are a detective?
Speaker D:Is that.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker D:And what are you detecting?
Speaker D:Of.
Speaker D:Of what?
Speaker D:Like.
Speaker C:Well, so we were.
Speaker C:We were hired.
Speaker C:My partner and I were hired to investigate these weird happenings at this hotel.
Speaker C:And something happened to me when I went in, and I ended up almost as if I was transported somewhere else or if it messed with my mind, almost in a way where it altered my memories.
Speaker C:And then I ended up in this bed and breakfast.
Speaker C:And then from the bed and breakfast, I went back to the hotel, and I kept investigating, kept finding.
Speaker C:Then I heard a ding.
Speaker C:And when I heard that ding of that bell, I woke up here.
Speaker D:Oh, okay.
Speaker D:So does this.
Speaker D:Maybe not.
Speaker D:You know.
Speaker D:You know how we were discussing your childhood and how your dad left you that one time inside of the bed and breakfast, and, you know, he went across the road and he ended up in a bar.
Speaker D:Do you not think that maybe, you know, it might kind of lead you to create these kind of memories in your head?
Speaker D:Is it, like a comfort thing that maybe you going back and hearing the bell is your dad walking back through that door?
Speaker E:Pause.
Speaker E:All right, so as soon as she finishes that line, you guys hear a huge audible gasp from all around you.
Speaker E:You then look out and realize this entire time, you've been putting on a play and there's an audience.
Speaker D:And scene.
Speaker C:And scene.
Speaker C:Thank you.
Speaker C:Now, so the thing with it is it's more than just the memories, because it felt too real to be memories.
Speaker C:And the dinging is what brought me here, which is why I think that something has to do with that bell.
Speaker C:That's.
Speaker C:The bell is the key.
Speaker C:The bell is the center.
Speaker C:The bell has.
Speaker C:Is.
Speaker C:Is the cause of everything.
Speaker C:Everything leads back to the bell.
Speaker C:We are the bell.
Speaker C:I am the bell.
Speaker C:Do you understand?
Speaker D:No.
Speaker D:So why don't.
Speaker D:Why don't we Ask the audience.
Speaker D:Why don't we ask the audience?
Speaker D:So, guys, who on the left side thinks that the bell means something?
Speaker D:Give me a woo if you think that it means something.
Speaker D:As I stare out at the crowd.
Speaker B:So as you're asking this question and looking back, you just hear whispers that sound like inner monologue going, what the fuck is going on?
Speaker B:And it starts getting progressively louder and you both start hearing it and you kind of blink and you realize you guys have just been sitting at a park bench tripping this entire time.
Speaker D:Whoa, dude, dude.
Speaker D:Did you see.
Speaker D:Did you see the audience?
Speaker D:They all look like your mom.
Speaker C:No, no, my mom doesn't have a beard.
Speaker C:And you know that, like, there's no.
Speaker D:She did.
Speaker C:No, no, that's.
Speaker C:No, that's my aunt.
Speaker C:And my aunt was not there.
Speaker C:And there was the bell, right?
Speaker C:You heard the bell, didn't you?
Speaker C:And we were like.
Speaker C:There was a hotel and there was.
Speaker C:You were there and you were.
Speaker C:And I was there and the bell was there and we were all there and wait, wait.
Speaker D:Who's Belle?
Speaker D:I know Belle.
Speaker C:Belle.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:Oh, Taco Bell.
Speaker D:Is that your wife?
Speaker D:Oh, I could do with some.
Speaker C:You can do something in time.
Speaker D:We should do that.
Speaker E:Pause.
Speaker E:You guys are sitting in the park, right?
Speaker E:All of a sudden, a heavy fog rolls down around all of you, completely surrounded.
Speaker E:You hear a bell and the fog fades away.
Speaker E:As you start to come to, you realize you are in fact in the lobby of a hotel.
Speaker D:Are we still on drugs?
Speaker D:Dude?
Speaker C:I don't think so.
Speaker C:But we are back in the hotel.
Speaker C:I told you that bell was strange.
Speaker D:It is super strange, man.
Speaker D:This ain't Kansas anymore.
Speaker C:That ain't no kidding.
Speaker C:So I think, I guess we should continue the investigation.
Speaker C:Where do you want to go from here?
Speaker D:I kind of want to touch the bell.
Speaker C:What bell?
Speaker D:I'mma touch it.
Speaker A:Pause as you go.
Speaker A:As you go to touch the bell, you guys look down, you guys are on the stage.
Speaker A:You see a bunch of people just watching you, looking at.
Speaker A:You guys are dressed in, like, really nice attire.
Speaker A:You see somebody come down with a little award, they give it to you guys.
Speaker A:You turn it, it says Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker D:Listen, I just.
Speaker D:I'm to thank you so much and I, you know, I deserve this for putting up with him.

Speaker E:Pause.
Speaker E:As he grabs the mic, the fog rolls in, and then it washes away.
Speaker E:And you look down in your hand, and there's a flower pot, and you're still in the hotel lobby, bro.
Speaker D:What the.
Speaker D:I had a Nobel priest.
Speaker D:But why.
Speaker A:Why.
Speaker C:The bell?
Speaker D:Am I dreaming?
Speaker C:There's something with the bell.
Speaker C:So what I do is I walk behind the counter, and I'm going to also reach for the bell.
Speaker C:But when I do.
Speaker B:Pause.
Speaker B:When you do, as soon as you grab onto this bell, you get this weird sensation.
Speaker B:Your hand feels kind of wet.
Speaker B:You pull it back, and you notice almost like a.
Speaker B:A milky liquid on there.
Speaker B:You just, for some reason, dipped your hand into a bowl of milk.
Speaker B:You are in a tavern at a table with a bowl of milk, both of you.
Speaker C:So you can eat that?
Speaker D:No, I'm lactose intolerant.
Speaker D:And why is your hand in the bowl?
Speaker C:Me too.
Speaker C:Don't worry about it.
Speaker C:I'm so.
Speaker C:I'm gonna grab the bowl with my fingers in the bowl, and I'm just gonna take it and just chug it.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker D:Oh, is that not gonna cause issues later?
Speaker D:You know what?
Speaker D:Never mind.
Speaker C:You know, with the trip.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Say with the trip we've had, I don't even care anymore.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker D:I think we deserve a bowl of milk.
Speaker C:That's true.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:We'll make it.
Speaker E:So as you guys have just thrown back your drinks, a small red man, naked below the waist, walks up and says, did you enjoy your party favors on the house.
Speaker D:Whoa.
Speaker E:And see.
Speaker C:Punch him in the face.
Speaker C:Punch him in the face.
Speaker C:Begown demon.
Speaker A:That was beautiful.
Speaker B:Only he has a face that only a fist could love.
Speaker A:Jesus.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:That was beautiful.
Speaker B:I think it's only fair we give.
Speaker A:Both of you guys a point for that.
Speaker A:That was some hell, yeah.
Speaker C:Hell, yeah.
Speaker B:You guys are both keeping it in, wrangling it in, going with the punches.
Speaker B:And we were trying to throw some weird out there.
Speaker A:I think we successfully threw some weird out there, guys.
Speaker D:So weird.
Speaker D:Threw me off.
Speaker C:I thought it was gonna go way worse than milk.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker B:I was thinking about yogurt or having you wake up with your hand inside of a cow.
Speaker C:See, I was like,.
Speaker A:You're a sick, sick man, cj.
Speaker C:You haven't.
Speaker C:You haven't woken up with your hand inside of a cow before, guys.
Speaker A:No, no, no.
Speaker D:It's the typical Tuesday for.
Speaker C:That's weird.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker B:Damn.
Speaker C:You know, luckily, when we had cows, we didn't have to, like.
Speaker C:Like, we didn't have to interfere with any of the births.
Speaker C:We only Lost one.
Speaker C:And it's because she had twins and all three of them died.
Speaker C:Sadly.
Speaker E:This is why I prefer.
Speaker A:Yeah, say he moves.
Speaker A:All right, so with that, with the story about working a cow like a muppet, we're gonna go ahead and come to the final part of this.
Speaker A:We're gonna tally the score real quick.
Speaker A:Joe has five points.

Speaker B:What I'm hearing is we're gonna have to have you two back on if we do a second annual Sovereign eight.
Speaker C:No, I want a loser's bracket.
Speaker C:I want a losers bracket so I can work my way back up.
Speaker A:That's actually been suggested a couple times.
