    Show #322 Ball, Bats, and Buses

    We're back with three batty games for you this week. Can MidnightSmoke defend his title against AugieDoggie? Only one way to find out. Game 1 - Like Share Block Story 1 - Denmark Helps Bats by Turning Streets Into Nightmare Fuel - https://via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelelse/13638658/ny-vejbelysning-i-gladsaxe-udviklet-til-flagermus?publisherId=13559514 Story 2 - Florida Man with Massive Balls Somehow Able to Drive: Asks Cops if He Should Buy a Faster Car After 130MPH Chase - https://www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com/article/florida-driver-crashes-high-speed-chase-jokes-needing-faster-car/71327833 Story 3 - 14-Year-Old Steals Bus in Norway to Go On Joyride - For the Third Time in Six Months - https://www.nrk.no/rogaland/ung-gutt-mistenkt-for-a-ha-stjalet-rutebuss-1.17667878 Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time One of the great granddaddies of role-playing games, Dragon Quest, turns 40 years old on May 27th, and I played the North American version of the first game, Dragon Warrior, when I was a kid, so that makes me old, and I'm angry about that. But what people may not know is that Dragon Quest, a Japanese game, was heavily influenced by Wizardry - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, an American role-playing game released in 1981, and I played this, too, as a kid, which makes me old, and I'm still angry about that. So make me happy already, and pitch me an American video game, movie, book or TV show that would be massively improved by a Japanese take on it. Tell me what would be changed and why it would be better, and preferably, without being racist at all. Because that will make me REALLY angry. Best pitch wins and gets two episode points.

Game 3 - 4 Out of 5 Dentists I've got five surveys asking questions like "what percentage of Americans believe in ghosts", and one team will guess the exact percentage - if they are within ten points high or low, they'll get a point. The other team will guess whether the actual answer is higher or lower, and they'll get a point if they're correct. After all five surveys, the team with the highest score wins the game and gets three episode points.

Game 1 - Like Share Block Story 1 - Cocaine Runoff is Turning Salmon into Speed Freaks - https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(26)00315-5 Story 2 - Man Stole $34K of Lego by Replacing Them with Pasta - https://www.facebook.com/reel/4216632121919705 Story 3 - California Men Sentenced for Bear-Suit Insurance Fraud - https://abc7.com/post/3-southern-california-residents-sentenced-bear-suit-insurance-fraud-scheme/18907444/ Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time Stevie is considering starting his own cooking show on the internet, and I think it's a great idea, but I want to give him every edge we can to make it popular. So I want our players to pitch their ideas for elements of Stevie's cooking show. Tell me what he should call it, how he should shoot it, should he have guests, what should he cook, and most importantly, what should he call it? And I'm sorry to say that you can't have my title suggestions, "Fully Baked" or "Panic at the Crisco". Stevie can't take part at all, only Augie and Crunchie will pitch. Best pitch wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - Just Correlate Our favorite game of finding hidden connections is back! Our players will choose keyboard keys, CTRL, ALT, DEL, INSERT, HOME, and END - behind each one is a set of four clues, each has something in common. If they figure it out after one clue, 5 points, after two clues, 3 points, after three, 2 points, and if they need all four, 1 point. If the team/player doesn't figure it out, the other team/player gets a chance to steal with all four clues for one point. The player or team with the most points after all six keys have been chosen wins the game and gets three episode points.

    Show #317 Penis Thief

    We are back with Three crazy games, but this week we are joined by CJ and Julie of Running The Hamster Wheel. Game 1 - Have I Got Absurd News For You Story 1 - Bizarre Epidemic of Penis Theft Leads to Multiple Arrests in Tanzania https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/zanzibar/10-arrested-as-genital-theft-rumours-reach-zanzibar-5418960 Story 2 - VW Beetle Found Suspended from Canadian Cliff https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/car-suspended-squamish-prank-9.7153796 Story 3 - Tiktok Psychic Sentenced to Pay Ten Million Dollars to Woman They Accused of Murder https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/13/university-of-idaho-murders-tiktok-psychic Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time April 19th is the 30th anniversary of the Metal Slug series of video games, and for those who don't know, Metal Slug was basically the Neo Geo's answer to Contra. It basically took the side-scrolling run-and-gun gameplay, toned the seriousness WAY down - not that Contra was an uberserious indictment about the glorification of war - but it really made things much more cartoony, and it wound up being one of SNK's most popular series, with a ton of sequels and spinoffs since then. So my question to you is, what would you take and reinvent to make it more light-hearted and comical? What games, genre, movie, TV series, or books are just too serious for their own good, and would benefit from being more zany and cartoony? Best pitch wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - The Cost is Correct Three items that recently sold on eBay, and all our players have to do is bid as close as they can to the final auction price without going over. First player to win two listings wins the game and gets three episode points.
