00:00Game Changer! Tonight's guests, Mama to Precious Plum, it's Josh Rubin!
00:08Are you his dad? Gorgug to some, to others, it's Sakuyama!
00:14And Dimension 20 founding father, it's Brennan Lee Mulligan!
00:22And your host, me! I've been here the whole time!
00:28Welcome to Game Changer, the only game show where the game changes every show.
00:33I am your host, Sam Reich. I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
00:38Now you all understand how the game works.
00:42No, not at all. You haven't told us.
00:44That's right. Our contestants have no idea what game it is they're about to play.
00:50The only way to learn is by playing.
00:54The only way to win is by learning.
00:55And the only way to begin is by beginning.
00:57So without further ado, let's begin.
01:02Josh, the word is cow.
01:07No problem. Cow.
01:12Sorry, that is not the answer I was looking for.
01:16No points to Josh.
01:18You don't have to buzz, but I appreciate the initiative.
01:22Zach, your word is duck.
01:27Quack, quack.
01:32That is correct.
01:34Okay, I see what this is about.
01:37Brennan, your word is monkey.
01:43Very good.
01:44And now the players start to realize why I've brought them in particular here today.
01:54We know all the animals.
01:55We know all the animals.
01:58This is going to be easy.
01:59Josh, your word is cat.
02:03No problem.
02:06And also, for a bonus point.
02:09No, there are no bonus points for bonus sounds.
02:12Cool, I'll just stick with my original answer.
02:16Very good.
02:17Zach Oyama, your word is frog.
02:21Ribbit, ribbit.
02:25I don't know if that's point worthy.
02:27I don't know if it's point worthy.
02:29And so I'm going to toss it up to the two other contestants to give me their frogs to see one of them is worthy of the steal.
02:36Josh, it's not you yet.
02:38Brennan, give me your best frog.
02:44Pretty good.
02:45Josh, let's hear what you got.
02:49That wasn't it yet.
02:50All right, ready?
02:53All right, no problem.
02:54I fucking got this, okay?
02:55Shush.
02:56If you laugh through this, it's not your point.
02:57I know, I understand.
02:58Here's a frog coming right up.
03:00Shush.
03:01Brennan, stop.
03:02Pressure's on.
03:03Okay, only six seconds left.
03:04All right, ready?
03:05Where did you get six seconds?
03:06Shush.
03:07There's no clock.
03:08Lower third, dude.
03:09Shush.
03:10All right, ready?
03:14I think that point in particular goes to Brennan Lee Mulligan.
03:16Are you fucked up?
03:18Wow.
03:19That is so dumb.
03:21Brennan.
03:22Yep.
03:23Your word is chick.
03:24Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
03:27I do wonder if we can do better with our other two contestants.
03:30And so first, Zac Oyama.
03:36I do think that was an improvement.
03:39Josh?
03:40Not only am I going to do a chick, I'm going to do a whole horde of them
03:42and sort of bring them to life in this room, if you can imagine.
03:44Ready?
03:45Yep.
03:46Here they are.
03:47Just imagine a bunch of little ones.
03:54That's me petting them.
03:57One bit me.
04:00One just came out of an egg.
04:02That's it, just coming out.
04:04It's not good to touch newborn chicks with your hands.
04:06That's right.
04:07Anyway.
04:08I do think for the theater of that display, that point needs to go to Josh Rubin.
04:13Josh, your word is donkey.
04:17No problem.
04:21Wow.
04:23Amazing.
04:24You devised this episode just for pulls for the trailer for this show.
04:29That's what this is.
04:30Knowing it was going to be the three today.
04:32I was just too excited to go to sleep last night.
04:34If Josh doesn't get seagull, I'm going to freak out.
04:36Seagull is nowhere in my plan.
04:38You and Josh Rubin are not going to give him a seagull to do?
04:40You want to do a seagull right now just for fun?
04:42I think we're fine.
04:43I'll just keep going.
04:44Rat.
04:45Don't, don't.
04:46I have slides, Josh.
04:47Give it all to me now.
04:48We all know I can do this.
04:50Zach.
04:51Your word is orca.
05:00Yes.
05:01That splashed into the water, did it?
05:02Brennan, your sound is hyena.
05:06Hold on.
05:08I have to go into my, into my.
05:14There's a deep drawer in a file cabinet somewhere in Brennan's brain.
05:17Because they don't laugh.
05:19They just, that's the closest sound we approximate.
05:22So I can't laugh.
05:28Fantastic.
05:29Not close.
05:30Fantastic.
05:31I'm going to make this a toss up.
05:33We will first go to Josh Rubin.
05:36Hyena.
05:37Yes.
05:38No problem.
05:39Yeah, it's not a laugh.
05:40It's all, it's a little, they're more like, more like this.
05:43It's definitely more like this.
05:49Shush.
05:50I'm going to need everyone to shush.
05:51Because I got a hyena right here.
05:52And it's not your typical, not your lion king one.
05:54This is like straight out of Nacho.
05:55You ready?
05:56Okay.
06:01You'd think it'd be a monkey, but it's not.
06:03That is very good, Josh.
06:06You set me up to think that was going to be an unmitigated disaster.
06:08I didn't know what it was going to sound like.
06:10Zach.
06:11Okay.
06:12So.
06:16This point is going to go to Josh Rubin.
06:20Josh, your word is sea lion.
06:25That's it.
06:30Cool.
06:31Great.
06:32Yes, that is in fact correct.
06:33I'm 36 years old.
06:37I am 35.
06:38Zach.
06:39I'm 31.
06:42Brennan.
06:43I'm also 31.
06:44Good to know.
06:45It's important to know that there's four men in their 30s here.
06:49Zach.
06:50Moose.
06:51Moo.
06:52Moo.
06:55Zach.
06:56I'm.
06:57Moo.
07:00Did you factor in the antlers?
07:02I'm factoring them in as we speak.
07:04Fun fact about moose, they're the last surviving species of North American megafauna.
07:08No points for Brennan's.
07:09Points for the audience for learning.
07:11God, Brennan, it's not the extra credit show.
07:14It's make animal sounds.
07:16Come on, dude.
07:18I got places to be.
07:19Josh has to leave in four minutes.
07:22Zach, I think that point goes to you.
07:24Well done.
07:25Brennan, your word is fox.
07:31Running through his Mayan palace looking for his room labeled fox.
07:35I'm imagining Brennan in his memory palace.
07:37He's pulling out books and they say like ancient history.
07:40Rise and fall of the Merovingian dynasty and then behind that is like a cardboard book that says what noise a fox makes.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Okay.
07:48That is correct.
07:52Well done, Brennan.
07:53Point to you.
07:54The fox does sound remarkably like a chirping bird.
07:57We are now headed into our first mini game.
08:01Ash, would you please bring out the devices?
08:09We're going to give one device to each of our contestants.
08:13I am going to play a sound for you and then throw it to Josh.
08:18Ready, Josh?
08:19Your sound is...
08:26No problem.
08:27It's the cops.
08:30That is so far from what I want you to do here.
08:33Zach.
08:38Pretty good, Zach.
08:39I will give you the point unless Brennan can beat you now.
08:44Don't fuck me.
08:50I think this point is going to go to Zach.
08:53We got about 15 minutes to jam out.
08:56Yeah, you know, let's hear what you got.
09:00If the three of you were performing on a subway, I would take money away from you.
09:06Round two with Josh Rubin at five points.
09:09Zach Oyama with four.
09:10Brennan Lee Mulligan with three.
09:13Josh, your word is jackhammer.
09:23That's him keeping the hat on, the helmet.
09:26Josh, without a doubt, despite the safety concerns, great jackhammer.
09:30That point is yours.
09:32Zach, your word is anguish.
09:36Very well done, Zach.
09:39Brennan, your word is a North Dakotan.
09:43Yeah, man, I love it here in North Dakota.
09:47I moved here about three years ago from the East Coast.
09:50I'm enjoying it.
09:51I mean, work's been good.
09:53My wife obviously has her family out here, so that's...
09:56I get back out to the East Coast, I'd say, once or twice a year, which could be more,
10:01but just while we're getting settled, it feels like it's good to try to put down roots here.
10:06Brennan, I feel like you're trying to catch me on a technicality.
10:09So, you want me to engage in stereotype?
10:11That point, I think, goes to you, Brennan, for catching me on being reductive.
10:18Shame on me.
10:20Josh, the Netflix intro.
10:27Yeah, totally.
10:28I'll give you that point.
10:29Well done.
10:30Had to add a little flourish.
10:31Zach, hold music.
10:39I like that, Zach.
10:40I do.
10:41I do want to see what your fellow players have in mind.
10:45Please wait while your conference call is waiting to connect.
11:00Please wait while your conference call is waiting to connect.
11:05Very good.
11:06Brennan, let's hear what you have in mind.
11:08Your call is important to us.
11:10Please stay on the line, and an operator will be with you shortly.
11:18You know, I do like your take, Brennan.
11:20The issue is probably one of our legal ability to use that song.
11:25And so, I think this point's going to go to Josh.
11:29Brennan.
11:30Stirring creamy mac and cheese.
11:32Ready?
11:33Watch this.
11:39I'm sorry.
11:40I'm sorry.
11:41I've got to stop.
11:42That sounds more like a slurp.
11:43Oh.
11:44Josh, do you want to challenge?
11:45Yeah, I do.
11:46That just sounds like an anxious, 50-year-old man slurping noodle sauce.
11:50What the fuck is noodle sauce?
11:52It's the velveteen.
11:53What the fuck is noodle sauce?
11:55Get that bag out of there, man.
11:56Josh, I'm going to ask you to put your money where your mouth is.
11:58Absolutely.
11:59Everyone close their frickin' mouths.
12:01I mean eyes.
12:02And mouths.
12:03I want you to put yourself in your kitchens.
12:05Here it is.
12:06That's the stove.
12:07Here's the stir.
12:12You know, Josh, that is a good stir.
12:14The issue is, I like Brennan's original.
12:16Get me in there.
12:17Get me in there.
12:18Oh.
12:19What?
12:20Let me have a shot at this.
12:21Zach, okay.
12:22You have your shot.
12:23Whatever, man.
12:24If I had known this was going to be the no-holds-barred, elbow-throwing massacre this has turned into,
12:27I would have played the start of this game very differently.
12:29All right.
12:30Let's give Zach a chance.
12:31This is the precedent we're setting?
12:32Let's give Zach a chance.
12:33Get ready for the back half of this episode.
12:35I'm feeling like a little thin over here, a little mechanical over here.
12:39Okay.
12:40I think it's more like a...
12:46This point goes to Zach.
12:47I'm sorry.
12:48Wow.
12:49This point goes to Zach.
12:51Yes.
12:52Yes.
12:53Wow.
12:54Well done, my friend.
12:56Josh.
12:57Ha.
12:58Give me 100 Batmans.
12:59I'm Batman.
13:00I'm Batman.
13:01I'm Batman.
13:02I'm Batman.
13:03I'm Batman.
13:04I'm Batman.
13:05I'm Batman.
13:06I'm Batman.
13:07I'm Batman.
13:08Okay.
13:09We have to get a joke.
13:10I love it.
13:11Holy shit, Josh.
13:12Holy shit.
13:13That would give you more than one point, but that's not how the game works.
13:14Zach.
13:15A dinosaur speaks its first English.
13:17Hi.
13:18Hi.
13:19The dinosaur's first word is hi.
13:20How wholesome is that?
13:21Brennan.
13:22A vampire nauseated by drinking blood.
13:23Oh.
13:24Oh.
13:25Oh.
13:26Oh.
13:27Oh.
13:28Oh.
13:29Oh.
13:30Oh.
13:31Oh.
13:32Oh.
13:33Oh.
13:34Oh.
13:35Oh.
13:36Oh.
13:37Oh.
13:38Oh.
13:39Oh.
13:40Oh.
13:41Oh.
13:42Oh.
13:43Oh.
13:44Oh.
13:45Oh.
13:46Oh.
13:47Oh.
13:48Oh.
13:49Oh.
13:50Oh.
13:51Oh.
13:52Oh.
13:53Oh.
13:54Oh.
13:55Oh.
13:56Oh.
13:57Oh.
13:58Oh.
13:59Oh.
14:00Oh.
14:01Oh.
14:02Oh.
14:03I'm going to sit down.
14:04Fantastic.
14:05Brennan.
14:06Josh.
14:07Your parents arguing softly in the other room about you having been allowed to see an
14:09R-rated movie.
14:11What am I doing?
14:12What I don't know is if it's alien.
14:15Well, there's blood all over the place.
14:17So you walk in the video store and you think,
14:18oh, that looks like a good time to watch?
14:20This is not a good time to watch.
14:22Great, Josh.
14:23Zach.
14:24Yes.
14:25A cool bass lick, and then the rest of the band joins in.
14:29Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing,
14:31bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.
14:34Zach, that was well done, but I do wanna see
14:36what the rest of our players have in mind for this.
14:39Bing, bong, bing, bing, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong,
14:44bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong.
14:49Very well done, Josh.
15:03Very well done Josh.
15:04And I did appreciate it at the same time
15:07I think technically, Brennan's sounded more like music.
15:10And so this point is going to go to Brennan.
15:15Brennan.
15:16Yes.
15:17A recording of a political speech so old
15:19that it's unintelligible.
15:21The question put forward today before this august body
15:25is the question of declination,
15:28whether or not our territory is to assume the mantle
15:31of a state or whether we are to recede
15:34into the allied colonies.
15:36Very well done, Brennan,
15:38and I like your interpretation of this.
15:39It wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
15:40I do like it, and you could still win the point.
15:42Josh.
15:43Yeah, because I think the word is old.
15:46So theoretically, the recording would be so old
15:48you could barely understand it.
15:49So it'd be more like this.
15:50The first thing for slave slavery
15:53and first thing for the horse and buggies.
15:59Josh, well done.
16:00I'm gonna throw this to Zach to see what he can give us.
16:03So you have like a record or something?
16:06Yeah.
16:09It's so old.
16:13It's so old.
16:20I appreciate all these interpretations of Josh and Zach.
16:23That is what I had in mind by unintelligible.
16:27But Brennan, I think your interpretation of this
16:31was exciting enough to me
16:32that the point is going to go to you.
16:34It was intelligible!
16:36It was intelligible!
16:37So old is not modifying recording.
16:40It's modifying political speech.
16:42The politics.
16:43You don't need to like the game.
16:44You just need to play it.
16:47It's time for our next mini game.
16:50Ash, would you please bring out the vases?
16:54Each of you is going to get one of these beautiful vases.
16:59Ready, players?
17:00Your sound is...
17:04Josh.
17:06Pfft.
17:09Zach.
17:14Pfft.
17:26Brennan.
17:28Okay.
17:30Pfft.
17:34Well done, everyone.
17:35Zach and Brennan, that is a point for you.
17:38Sorry, Josh.
17:39Josh!
17:40Pfft.
17:43We are now in round three.
17:46Josh has 10 points.
17:47Zach and Brennan are tied.
17:49This is a tight game.
17:52Josh, your word is...
18:00Okay.
18:06I do like it.
18:07I am gonna throw it out to the other two contestants.
18:12Take the picture.
18:14Okay, Brennan.
18:16Yeah, so basically what we're trying to do
18:17is like combine long form and short form improv.
18:20The other seven guys on my team,
18:22Chris, Mike, Matt, Chris, Matt,
18:26Scully, who's fucking crazy, and Matt,
18:28they're like extremely funny dudes.
18:31This date's going well.
18:33That point goes to Brennan.
18:36Wow.
18:37Zach, your word is...
18:41We're having fun over here.
18:42We don't need to go over there.
18:45I will take it, Zach.
18:46Well done.
18:48Brennan, your word is...
18:54Okay, so everyone looks at Candyland
18:57and they see a fucking mythical place, all right?
18:59A lot of fucking work has gotta happen
19:01to make this shit run on time.
19:03You think a fucking peanut butter swamp
19:05doesn't have infrastructural issues?
19:06You fucking dreaming, dude.
19:08Dudes gotta go put the pipes in
19:10to bring the peanut butter to the swamp, all right?
19:13And that's where fucking Fredo comes in, baby.
19:16He just developed an entire world.
19:19A point for you.
19:21Josh, your word is...
19:27Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
19:32I'll take it, Josh.
19:33Well done.
19:35Zach, your word is...
19:41Too many hamburgers.
19:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:46I would have taken it,
19:47but Brennan clearly wants to throw his option into the mix.
19:51I just, I said I would throw elbows earlier on.
19:53What'd you get?
19:54Susan, listen to the voices within you.
19:58You know the hamburger power courses through your veins.
20:02Relinquish control.
20:04I can't.
20:06My mother told me never to give in.
20:09I don't wanna become like her.
20:12Fuck.
20:12You will be the hamburger queen,
20:15whether you wish or no.
20:17I mean, Josh, it's yours if you wanna try, but...
20:20I don't want to.
20:21Okay, cool, it's gonna go to Brennan.
20:23Wow, Brennan, your word is...
20:28Seeing into forever isn't as scary as people say.
20:32Time is an infinite loop.
20:34This moment, like all moments,
20:36exists in a perpetual state of being.
20:40That was dark and worth a point.
20:44Well done.
20:45Josh, your word is...
20:47Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna get some food.
20:53I don't know what I'm gonna do.
20:53I'm gonna wake up, okay?
20:55I'm gonna go to the deli, okay?
20:56I'm gonna get a banana, that's right, a banana,
20:58and I'm gonna stook it.
20:59I'm gonna stook it up my exuse poop.
21:02That's what I'm gonna do.
21:02I'm gonna go to my pruce,
21:04and I'm gonna stook a ba-noo-noo up my exuse poop.
21:08Wow.
21:09That is a point for Josh.
21:11Zach, your word is...
21:15Pfft.
21:16Hello, my sweet baby, my corn child.
21:20You will grow up to be strong for the future.
21:27I mean, that's worthy of a point for sure.
21:29Oh, thank God.
21:31Brennan, your word is...
21:34Oh my God, this is so fucking sick.
21:36Look at this meme my dad sent me.
21:39It's fucking me dead.
21:42Why are you guys sad?
21:44I'll give you the point for that, Brennan.
21:46Well imagined.
21:47Josh.
21:54Oh, behold, your garden.
21:58Tomatoes, zucchini, we have a gopher.
22:04There is a gopher!
22:08I can't wait to buy from this demon
22:11at the farmer's market.
22:12Point for Josh.
22:14Zach, your word is...
22:18Son, I will give you a treat now
22:22if you promise to never again go outside.
22:35Well done.
22:36Brennan, your word is...
22:39Oh, Jesus Christ, Ted.
22:42You're a horse, I'm a man.
22:44We ran afoul of a wizard at the grocery store
22:47and this could be solved if we worked together.
22:49But instead, you're being a real,
22:51and I don't, no pun intended, horse's ass.
22:54That is a point for Brennan.
22:59Brennan, you are the winner of this episode.
23:03Congratulations, Brennan.
23:06Well done.
23:07That's it for us here at Game Changer.
23:09Remember, if you listen closely enough,
23:12everything is music.
23:14Weird, random, indie, experimental music.
