Today Portrait mode returns. Get ready for game showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to game Showdown. I'm your host, Blessing Adioye Jr. And I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. We got Tim Geddes representing team Orange.
Tim Geddes
Not feeling good today. I'm gonna tell you that right now.
Andy Cortez
Why not?
Tim Geddes
My dominant run the last couple weeks, last couple months, years, however you wanna look at it. I feel like you can all get screwed up. Thanks to this damn tablet in front of me. And thanks to these two goddamn jabronis. Bless fair down the center. Always. Roger and Mike. We'll have to wait and see.
Greg Miller
We forget that Blessing. Blessing also voted for Greg during that the first episode. We forget about that part. It's not just me.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Cortez representing team Purple.
Andy Cortez
I'm ready to win. This is. This is the one. This is the one.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And of course we have Greg Miller representing the two time season champions, Team Blue.
Mike
You forgot that intro though. Greg Miller.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Sorry Mr. Stars in the bank. Greg Miller.
Mike
What a time to cut away. You're against me. Not too Barrett. I got the whole deck stacks against me. Barrett. That's how it's going to be. You won't like what happens when that happens to me. I'll tell you right now. It's going to make me cranky crazy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't want to be cranky.
Roger McCorney
I don't want to be cranky crazy be. I want to get cranky crazy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Can you imagine if Greg Miller had like the face muscles of Jim Carrey? How crazy that would be if you could get crazy like that? We're going to start off with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to go first in kind of feudi. That's a lie. We're not playing Kind of feudi. Just the chance to start off strong is what this is. Contestants buzz in to answer. In the game Half Life, what is the first weapon? The main character? Gordon Ramsay. Greg Miller.
Mike
Crowbar.
Andy Cortez
Ramsey. Spatula.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's cuz Greg was buzzing in. That's why I stopp again.
Mike
Gordon Ramsay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
In my mind. Gordon Ramsay.
Andy Cortez
Omelette.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
A man who I'm sure would also use a crowbar. Crowbar is correct.
Mike
Thank you.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That is 10 points for Greg Miller.
Andy Cortez
Now the next question. The next question. Name an NPC on Real Housewives in Detroit.
Mike
Always.
Andy Cortez
It's always for my question. Name a video game that's a shooter. Tim's question. Name a goddamn NPC in Crash Bandicoot. That's not Neil Cortez or whatever.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That did make me Crack up of life. You were like, oh, you gave him the Crash Bandicoot. Like I asked about Extraction shooters. Also, you're asking about video games. No, about Extraction.
Tim Geddes
Those weren't the ones that won or lost it for me. It was the games with Force in the title that won it for me.
Mike
I've never wanted to choke you to death more. Yeah, right.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now remember, this is Game Showdown. Kind of funny, this nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on twitch and on YouTube. If you love what we do, support us with the kinda funny membership on Patreon or YouTube to get all of our shows ad free, watch us record them live and get a daily exclusive show. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Delaney Twining, Karl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Karen Lindner. Today we're brought to you by Rocket Money, Shady Rays and betterhelp. But we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's play portrait mode.
Andy Cortez
This mode deserves that intro.
Roger McCorney
It just dust off that one.
Tim Geddes
Got to go fast as it goes.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Slower than it's cooking in there for a minute. The rules are simple.
Andy Cortez
No, they're not.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm going to give you all the same prompt. I'm going to read this very carefully.
Greg Miller
Very carefully.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Take all these rules in. Everybody take it in.
Andy Cortez
Put the words on the screen. Let's read them.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm going to. I'm going to give you all the same prompt. It could be the name of a Pokemon, a famous final boss, or even a video game box art. Your task is to draw what you think the prompt looks like on your surface. Pros.
Andy Cortez
Never been one of those.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Hey, it could be one day. Not today. It could be one day, though. Our three judges, me, Snow Mike, Mike and Roger McCorny will pick the winners for each round. You get 10 points for each endorsement from Mike, Roger, and me. So if I think Greg has the best drawing but what Roger and Mike think Tim did, Greg would get 10 points while Tim would get 20. We're judging the glasses.
Roger McCorney
We're calling it right down the middle. I brought glasses. We're calling it right down the middle.
Greg Miller
We all have glasses.
Andy Cortez
Where were they? You were missing them for a while.
Mike
You know, don't worry about in and out.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm going to say these words very carefully. We're judging based on accuracy, not artistry. So if I ask you to draw the Gears of War box art, as long as you have the key features right, that's more important than your actual drawing skills. You got that, judges?
Greg Miller
Yeah, but like, what if Features. What if no one has any accuracy? Like, it's vibes, right? Like.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I mean.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Mike
See?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Thank you.
Andy Cortez
That drops off to a great. Have we not learned this is the second time. Third time we've done this?
Greg Miller
It's been flawless. Every time, it's been flawless. Fans love this one.
Mike
I can't go do the laundry without somebody talking about portrait mode.
Andy Cortez
Goddamn acrobat.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Should we go back to one of the other games that Tim was going to win every single week? Or should we give Greg and Andy a chance?
Mike
Thank you. Thank you. It's all we asked for. Were persecuted about Greg Miller.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Guys, today's theme is Banjo Kazooie side character.
Mike
Yeah, it is.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah. Contestants, are you ready?
Mike
Born ready. Blessing.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I want you to draw for round one, Trophy Thomas. Oh. I want you to draw Trophy Thomas. You have 60 seconds. This is a real thing on the clock. Trophy Thomas. Trophy Thomas is a Banjo Kazooie size. Real guy.
Andy Cortez
Real guy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Are you Mike? Are you familiar with.
Roger McCorney
Yeah, real familiar with him.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You did a wink for us.
Greg Miller
You did a wink, everybody.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't know why. I'm just trying for audio listeners. Yeah. If you're an audio listener, you are missing out.
Greg Miller
Yeah, you're.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I.
Greg Miller
Have you ever played Banjo Kazooie? I never played Badger.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I bench because we won. I played funny enough. Played it very late. Good.
Tim Geddes
Guys.
Andy Cortez
It's not working. Ah, he's disqualified. It's unfortunate.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I mean, tell him you gotta get his broken Roger. You want to go home?
Roger McCorney
Where's it on this?
Tim Geddes
I got it. He's got it.
Greg Miller
He's got it.
Roger McCorney
We'll give him an extra 20, Thomas.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I played Banej Kazooie 1 in like 20. Either. 2016, 2017. Yeah, yeah. I played it when I first got my Xbox One. I was big into rare replay because I love rare of the studio. I played Jeff O Shemini back in the day. I played DK 64 when I played it for the first time. Absolutely loved it.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Banjo Kazooie, in my opinion, still holds up to this day. Fantastic.
Greg Miller
I think I'm more associated with Banjo Tooie. Cause my neighbor had that game, and he was obsessed with banjo tooie.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, I don't know why. Mike, what's your banjo experience?
Roger McCorney
Yeah, I'm all about banjo nuts and bolts. That's the one I know about, of course.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Well, we hit the 62nd mark.
Greg Miller
I think Greg and Andy, put your pens down, Tim, if you want some more time.
Mike
You're good.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, Tim's good.
Mike
Wow.
Greg Miller
Okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right. So I asked you guys, to draw Trophy Thomas Bear, if you can bring up Tim's drawing first.
Greg Miller
Oh, yeah, I want to see.
Andy Cortez
There he is.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Tim, do you want to describe this at all?
Tim Geddes
It's a trophy. His name's Thomas. He does, in fact, have little hands. There are hands. Fingers.
Greg Miller
Whoa.
Andy Cortez
Turn your hand.
Tim Geddes
He has fingers. That's key.
Roger McCorney
Okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right.
Mike
Very key.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay, Very key. Andy Cortez. Show me what you got.
Andy Cortez
I drew two things.
Mike
Oh, here we go.
Andy Cortez
Because I. I drew something similar to what Tim drew. The. You know, his hands are. But his hands are on his hips. But if that's not good enough, then I drew this.
Mike
Do two things.
Andy Cortez
Who this. In case this is close enough.
Roger McCorney
Okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay.
Andy Cortez
There's a person with four appendages.
Roger McCorney
I will keep that.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't know if we're gonna keep that in your background. We're gonna go with the first thing he showed.
Greg Miller
No, you have to put both of those images on top of each other.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andy Cortez
Don't throw it out there.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Greg Miller, what you got?
Mike
I drew Trophy Thomas, as everybody knows. He looks there now, you might see what I did here is I drew Trophy Thomas, and I spoiled out Thomas, obviously, with him, because that's a big thing from the game.
Roger McCorney
Yes.
Mike
But I also put a little mustache on him because when I did it all in just the black outlines, the handles kind of looked like hair. And I didn't think. What you think this was Trophy Tina. So this is clearly Trophy Thomas with his mustache there. He's always given Banjo and or Kazooie all sorts of help, you know, telling them how to get them trophies.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now, can I ask you, what is GLOT2C? GLOT2TCT?
Mike
Come on.
Andy Cortez
Is that the login code?
Mike
Why are you embarrassing yourself? Are you kidding me right there? I knew there'd be somebody. I thought it'd be Tim would be too stupid for it. The whole line. What I do there is we see. I'm Greg, leader of the two top champions, Team Bullet. That needed to be on there, but I didn't want to take up all my space.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Trophy Thompson.
Tim Geddes
It's so hard to figure out how is fucking money in the fucking stars related to this? Jesus Christ.
Mike
Joey, put it on his shirt.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Can you bring up the actual Trophy Thomas?
Greg Miller
I'm excited. Okay.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is Trophy Thomas. He is a tiger. Tiger cheetah. I can't tell.
Mike
Oh, he's a tiger.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Tiger. Yeah. This is a tiger.
Andy Cortez
Looks a lot like my second drawing.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Trophy Thomas is a character from Major Kazooie. Nuts and Bolts, the one that Mike played.
Mike
Look at the third option there, though, and tell me that doesn't look like he has a mustache.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Actually, he is a cheetah. He is a cutthroat cheetah and is described as an overly competitive bragger who enjoys contests and challenges.
Mike
His spots aren't defined enough for him to be a cheat. I'm just gonna put.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
That's what. That's what got me where I was like. I couldn't tell if that was just a stylistic thing or he was actually cheetah.
Andy Cortez
I thought they put Ninja inside of the game.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
Thought he had a little partnership, you know?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So now it's up to Mike, Roger, and I to vote on who they think had the closest drawing to Trophy Thomas. I'm not going to lie, it's kind of tough.
Roger McCorney
I've called it down the middle. I've called it down the middle.
Andy Cortez
Down the middle, down the middle.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, I got mine.
Greg Miller
Down the middle, down the middle.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I can already. I can already feel the anger of the audience.
Greg Miller
Oh, interesting. I don't know what those move. Oh, you're not even looking at your board. I think it's scribbled.
Andy Cortez
He's not looking at what he's writing.
Greg Miller
Yeah, we might not be able to read it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, let's start off with Roger. Roger.
Andy Cortez
Mike's doing like the Ouija board. Like, he's not the spirits guy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Why are you erasing what you just.
Mike
Wrote, Ty, don't forget I spelled out the name. So I at least said that right hand.
Roger McCorney
That right.
Greg Miller
All right, this is a tough one. Champions, I guess champion.
Mike
But I mean, leader of the two time champions.
Greg Miller
Champion of a certain, you know, season one, I was.
Mike
I was second place, season 13, kind of feudi. Champion.
Tim Geddes
Yeah.
Greg Miller
I am going to give it to Greg. And that's because of the mustache.
Mike
Thank you.
Greg Miller
The hair connection.
Mike
Thank you.
Greg Miller
The hair connection.
Andy Cortez
Damn.
Greg Miller
There's hair. There's hair. And everyone else did not have hair. He had hair. And I think Andy's was cheating with the four and he just put a.
Mike
Dot on the page next to me.
Tim Geddes
No, here we fucking explicitly said it does not have hair.
Roger McCorney
It is not hair.
Tim Geddes
I put in the mustache.
Roger McCorney
No, it does not have hair.
Mike
No, no, no, no, no. What I said is the handles weren't hair in the pigtail form. I didn't want you to think it was Trophy Tina, is the show moving too fast for you?
Tim Geddes
Huh?
Andy Cortez
Yeah, I heard that. I heard that part.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm also going to vote for Greggy.
Andy Cortez
Miller, please tell me why.
Greg Miller
Hey, Internet commenters, remember this?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Here's the thing. Who do you want me to vote for here? Cuz nobody had an accurate depiction on Trophy Thomas. The. The thing about Greg's is that at the very least he had the coloring right.
Mike
Thank you. Show it. Throw it up there.
Tim Geddes
Color matters now.
Mike
Accurate. Accurate. They said accurate. Tim's a pedophile. It looks like a trophy drop in its drawers.
Tim Geddes
Look at that.
Mike
It's got its. It got spooks coming out of the.
Roger McCorney
Woods jerking off.
Tim Geddes
Guys.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Again, none of these are good art pieces, but yeah, I look at Greg's and I'm like, if I had to choose an image here that somehow looks the closest to the tiger or sorry, to the cheetah that we see on screen. I'm going with Greg's. I'm sorry, Mike, who you got?
Roger McCorney
I'm happy to report that I went with Greg as well. Yeah, terrific artistry. Really nailed Trophy Thomas right there.
Mike
Thank you very much.
Roger McCorney
Mustache kind of looks like the cheetah's mouth, so I'm gonna give it to him.
Mike
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Michael, whose name did you write down before you race?
Andy Cortez
Didn't call that us.
Mike
Tim.
Andy Cortez
This is Tim, does this feel to you where, like when you're leading up to a big Wrestlemania, they're like, well, they. They have to have him lose here so that he could. Yeah, this is. Yeah.
Tim Geddes
All right, first off, I know how this.
Mike
On the embargoed games cast we recorded. You and I were very adamant we were going to team up against him. Why are you turning on me immediately? This is exactly what we want.
Andy Cortez
Well, you know, when. When. Blessing, these aren't good. None of these are good drawings. Maybe this shouldn't be a mo y.
Greg Miller
Maybe you should get better at the game.
Andy Cortez
This game sucks. Luckily, it's unsanctioned. We don't get. There's no star.
Mike
I actually want you to remember when you start voting next time, he's the one screaming over here. He's saying, overthrow the government. I'm saying, hey, it's a two party system.
Greg Miller
Let's vote.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, round number two. I want you guys.
Andy Cortez
I just want to draw a big dick. Just a veiny dick for every one of these.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I want you guys to draw slumber.
Mike
Sure.
Greg Miller
Lumber Slumber.
Andy Cortez
The only one I've known out of any of these contestants was Acrobat, and I still lost that one. I don't know what Slumber is.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You're wasting time, right?
Greg Miller
Yeah, he's just complaining instead of actually playing the game because he knows he's bad at the game, so he just.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Slumber. Also, 80 is talking like he hasn't been losing every other episode.
Andy Cortez
No, I'm talking about game showdown.
Greg Miller
Yeah. You kind of threw me through a curveball when we saw the last guy. And he was. He was the nuts and bolts. I forgot that that was.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
Even though you just mentioned it. But that's crazy. There's a whole. There's a whole universe.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There's a universe of Banjo Kazooie characters. Let me tell you, when I was going through the wiki, there's a last episode. A lot of good options.
Roger McCorney
Wow.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Characters that you would not remember. And then you would hear their name.
Greg Miller
Be like, oh, are these just random NPCs?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Are they bosses, like, bringing them NPCs, right? Like trophy. You want to call him Trophy Cheetah. Trophy. Trophy Cheetah would have been easier. Trophy Thomas, like, as you read it, right? He's a character. He's like. I think he gives out challenges. We'll talk about Slumber.
Greg Miller
Oh.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
In a second. Right about now, because 60 seconds are up. Let's start in reverse order this time. Barely.
Andy Cortez
You can break. I look so. It's good. It's good. I like it.
Greg Miller
Greg is really good at this game.
Mike
You're all fucked because I woke up today.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bring up Greg Miller's.
Mike
So are you happy?
Roger McCorney
Let's go. Wow.
Mike
So I envision Slumber, obviously, as a woodland creature. I'm going with a bear. I know it's. I'm not the best. I can't draw a bear really well, but he's a bear, as you see.
Roger McCorney
With the knife, he'll be a gopher.
Mike
Guys, hey, it's not about artistic beaver. It's a woodland creature. My head. He was a bear because bears hibernate. But anyways, he's got the blue. He's got the, you know, the nightgown and the night cap on. He's got his little candlestick thing there ready to go. That's Slumber, everybody.
Roger McCorney
I like, can I.
Tim Geddes
Can I ask a clarifying question here? Is it a bear woodland creature or is it a beaver woodland creature?
Roger McCorney
Because you can't just be like, woodland creature counts anything.
Mike
I was just saying it's a woodland creature. I tried to draw a bear. God himself and. Or Satan reached into my anus and touched my hand and said, draw the beaver, Greg. And I said, yes, sir.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Did you touch your hand with, like, a different hand or did you reach out your anus?
Tim Geddes
You Went all the way.
Mike
However you feel the power.
Roger McCorney
You feel the power.
Tim Geddes
It's like a long journey to your hand.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Easier ways to get to the hand. Bear, bring up Andy's drawing.
Andy Cortez
I drew a character in Banjo Kazooie. A little cloud.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay.
Andy Cortez
With maybe a little moon. I don't know.
Greg Miller
I like this.
Andy Cortez
Just a sleepy little guy disease. Yeah, he's snoring right there. But it's a character in. I drew a character in the video game Banjo Kazooie series franchise.
Roger McCorney
Oh, wow. So he thinks he's got it.
Mike
Are you insulting mine? I don't know if it's happening.
Andy Cortez
Sometimes part of the game is you just have to put the keywords. Like Greg saying the mustache is the facial hair of Mike going, oh, it looks like the facial hair.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
When you say you drew a character, like, you know, you don't mean, like, you've seen. You play Banjo Kazooie. You know what the characters are.
Greg Miller
You drew a character.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You knew. You're just saying.
Greg Miller
He's basically saying, I have the correct answer.
Andy Cortez
This is a character inside of Banjo Kazooie the game.
Greg Miller
Oh, wow. Okay.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tim Geddes
I see it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bring up Tim's.
Tim Geddes
So here's the deal. It's kind of a play on it, right? The sleep, but then the burr. Okay. Like, Burr is so chilly. He's so cold. I haven't played Badikazooie, everybody.
Andy Cortez
I do not know these games.
Mike
Really?
Andy Cortez
That feels like a horrifying depiction of a penguin. Penguin. Penguin artistry. Doesn't matter.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Barry, bring up the actual Slumber.
Tim Geddes
Maybe it's just an ice character of some form.
Andy Cortez
He's a chili character in the.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Wow.
Greg Miller
Different.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah. Slumber. Slumber is an enormous, albeit rather lethargic, green rattlesnake who appears in Banjo Tooie. He is constantly sleeping and only awakens when he hears someone attempting to steal his jiggy. If you heard. I was trying to emphasize the S.
Mike
Okay, before you go to the polls, I would like to point out, right, A woodland creature. All right? And then if you look at that tail, doesn't it quite look like a flame on a candle?
Roger McCorney
You don't gotta tell me twice, big dog.
Tim Geddes
Think about how triangular this thing looks.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, my God. I'll talk your penguin bear. Can you, like, cycle through the drawings?
Greg Miller
Yeah, I gotta.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I need some help.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, it's tough, see, you know, when. When portrait mode is first pitched, I was like, this sounds cool. Draw a box art cover. One of our interpretations of the Gears of War box art. Things that we know. But it's a Guessing game. It's an improv game is what it turned into.
Mike
The next thing I'd like to point out, of course, I am the only person who used colors. And of course, as we all know, you can't get green, Mike, without yellow and blue.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There's no yellow here.
Mike
Yeah, I have blue.
Roger McCorney
Yeah, we gotta mix them.
Andy Cortez
Yeah, he's gotta mix. He's gotta mix.
Mike
I have blue, so I'm halfway to green.
Roger McCorney
He's halfway there.
Andy Cortez
The next one's gonna be bl saying, draw, my friend from the second grade.
Mike
Please have us draw Edison.
Andy Cortez
We just say gets. We're guessing, you know, it's an improv show. No points involved.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bring up Tim's one more time, please.
Roger McCorney
Everybody take a look. Take a look at Tim's.
Greg Miller
Interesting.
Tim Geddes
Golly angular.
Andy Cortez
But what was cool was like slumber had three S's. I had three z's on my sleepy guy. Tim, I think you're getting points of this one. The way they're laughing.
Tim Geddes
No, I think that you just want blessing over.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, man. I just. All right, let's start with Mike. Mike, what you got?
Roger McCorney
Yeah, I went one woodland creature to another bear. The snake Greg.
Andy Cortez
Connection.
Roger McCorney
They're the same genus. Greg Miller. On this one.
Mike
You got to vote with your heart.
Andy Cortez
They're the same family.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I voted Tim.
Andy Cortez
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.
Greg Miller
I voted Tim as well. I voted Tim as well. It's the long, like, the long arms. It kind of gives, like a snake like quality.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Of course, again, unfortunate showing from everybody here.
Greg Miller
Yeah. Specifically Andy. Specifically Andy. Could figure it out. Couldn't figure it out.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Was I not emphasizing the s?
Andy Cortez
No in slumber? I heard blessing.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I heard it. Thank you. Somebody did. Somebody did. All right, we're gonna move on to round three.
Andy Cortez
But before we do, I can't wait.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Blessing Adioye Jr.
And we're back with round number three. Contestants, I want you to draw Cheeto.
Roger McCorney
Oh, Cheeto.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Cheeto.
Greg Miller
Cheeto.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Cheeto.
Greg Miller
Cheeto.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Cheeto.
Greg Miller
Cheeto.
Roger McCorney
Cheeto.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Not something you'd associate with a banjo character.
Roger McCorney
Do we still have those Cheetos? Puff like popcorn. We got a smack nose today.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I think, like for the first, like full year of working in this new studio, for a full year, I try to put Andy onto the puffcorn.
Andy Cortez
I like. There's like, here's why I always turned off by it, cuz I thought it was just popcorn, but it's not.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's just a puff. It's just a puff.
Andy Cortez
It's a puff.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
It's. What's the other? Pirates booty. It's kind of like that.
Roger McCorney
Pirates booty?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah. I really like pirates.
Roger McCorney
Booby. That's crazy.
Greg Miller
What?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
What do you mean?
Roger McCorney
I don't like the pirate booty chip.
Greg Miller
I don't know how I like those.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I think. I think they're fine. I like the cheetos version. Like, I like the puffcorn more because it's almost way more soft. Okay.
Greg Miller
It feels like cheap to me. You know what I mean? It feels like just some like styrofoam that they're just putting like the dust on. You know what I mean?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, yeah. You get a bit more of that crunch. Yeah, yeah, but that's what I. Not that I don't like the crunch, but the puffcorn is made because it doesn't have the crunch right. Like, that's why I like it.
Greg Miller
60 seconds are up.
Andy Cortez
But it honestly, it feels like there's layers of super soft and then a good crunch at the end is what I was getting. Yeah, it was really good.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, I crushed that back.
Andy Cortez
Sorry.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right. I asked you guys to draw.
Mike
Thank you, God.
Andy Cortez
Anderson hair, like, got caught.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I asked y'all to draw Cheeto. Yeah, Cheeto. We're gonna start off with Andy Cortez.
Greg Miller
Titus.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Oh, oh, that's really adorable guy.
Mike
A lame with botulism.
Roger McCorney
Cheetah bear.
Andy Cortez
Those are all wounds. I mean, depending on what you know, it's. It's a. I was trying to draw a character in the bad joke. Yeah, just a character, you know, cute.
Greg Miller
It's small.
Andy Cortez
Got. Got on, you know, maybe has arms, maybe doesn't. Maybe has hands, maybe doesn't.
Tim Geddes
Tim, before you bring mine up, maybe those aren't eyes.
Andy Cortez
Maybe if it doesn't have eyes, those are spots.
Greg Miller
Yeah. Maybe it's multiple eyes.
Andy Cortez
Yeah. Interpret it.
Tim Geddes
I need you all to understand that the last maybe 15 seconds, it was just everything went black. Tried changing the color, wasn't working. Figured this all out. Did not figure out how to change colors. I was going to use colors, but I'm not going to tell you what I don't know.
Andy Cortez
Colors were necessary.
Tim Geddes
Yeah. Here's the thing, everybody. What you're about to see is what you're going to get. Okay? Please bring it up. That's all you got?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay, okay, okay.
Tim Geddes
An excessive amount of dots on this thing. I want that to be.
Andy Cortez
When you go Pepperoni lovers.
Greg Miller
Andy didn't have many.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay, giving me trophy. Thomas Vibes. Show me Greg's.
Mike
You know him well. Everybody. It's Cheeto the orangutan and. Or Cheetah the gorilla from the old days of kinda funny. There he is. He's brown, he's pink, he's Cheetos. He's happy. I wanted to draw a little vine in his hand there, but I ran out of time.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bard, if you can bring up a.
Andy Cortez
Very good Cheeto, A good one.
Mike
Thank you. I tried. Unlike some people on this panel, mainly my competitors.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So Cheeto is Gruntilda's magic spell book. Cheeto is spelled C H E A T O Because he cheats. Cause he's Che. Cheats.
Andy Cortez
Cheats on his wife.
Mike
Now, before you go to the polls, I'd like to make my case. Of course. I have eyes just like this guy, right? My guy has eyes not nearly as good as my eyes. Everybody, you know that to be. Also, I'm using colors as you see they are here. I had brown in there and there's some brown in that spell book. Thank you, everybody.
Roger McCorney
This one's going to be tough to call, but I think I already have.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So he. He is found in Banjo, Zooie, Banjo Tui and Banjo Pilot. He. He is responsible for giving Banjo and Kazooie cheat codes to use against Gruntilda in the first two games and unlocks extra features in Pilot.
Mike
Thank you.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So this is Greg's drawing here.
Roger McCorney
Pretty good. Very good.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is Tim's drawing. Here is Andy's drawing.
Mike
Can we see Cheetah One more time.
Roger McCorney
Sorry.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Ah, I almost want to, like, find, like, a spinner app on my phone.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Mike
Real quick, too. Just to be clear, I didn't have as much time as I wanted. If we could look below the belt on my cheetah, you'd see there's also a slit there.
Andy Cortez
Oh.
Roger McCorney
It'S crazy.
Mike
Anything for the W, Mike. Anything for the W. You know what I mean?
Roger McCorney
I'm gonna call right down the middle. I'm calling down the middle.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Roger McCorney
It was an easy vote.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This is a tougher category than I anticipated.
Greg Miller
Really bad one. Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I should have won with Block Anybod, right? Can you show me the contestants again?
Greg Miller
Yeah. Just one more time.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Real quick.
Roger McCorney
You know, Blessing saying, like, you know who it is. Just put it down.
Andy Cortez
Blessing said, I wish I could just randomize it. You know, randomize the selection. It's like. Well, I. Unfortunately, you're not in charge of the rules of this game.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
In my mind, you guys are more familiar with Banjo. You could, like, you know, maybe connect certain names to certain things. Or, you know, you go by the. By the clue that's in the name. Oh, there's a lot of S's. Maybe it'll be like a snake go by.
Andy Cortez
Well, maybe if I could read them there.
Roger McCorney
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Right.
Mike
That's an excellent way to add.
Roger McCorney
Helpful. That would be helpful.
Mike
Also, I will point out that, as you know, mine is of the great ape family. They climb trees. Trees. Or make paper.
Andy Cortez
If bear could attack.
Roger McCorney
I've already put my vote in.
Greg Miller
This is just a crap shoot. You know what I mean? Like, you just got to get.
Mike
It's really not.
Greg Miller
It's got to be worth on mine.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, let's start off with Roger.
Greg Miller
Yeah. This one actually, it's a Vibes based choice.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Right.
Greg Miller
But it actually worked out in your favor, Andy, because I'm choosing a. Wow. I'm choosing Andy, and I think it's just great. It's just kind of the vibe that I get from the book.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Right.
Greg Miller
And the one that I get from. I don't know. It seems like a very friendly vibe. And also his nose was a triangle, like, upside down triangle. It's kind of like what a book looks like.
Andy Cortez
I had the same vibes.
Greg Miller
Now you're all about it. Now you're all about the vibes.
Andy Cortez
I felt the same vibes. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I went with Greg.
Mike
Thank you. Thank you.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
And again, this is a choice based off of the colors he used. He used browns in, like, the book.
Mike
Try so hard. You know what I mean?
Roger McCorney
Yeah.
Tim Geddes
How do you use colors?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Mike, what's your vote?
Roger McCorney
Thank you so much for asking me. I've been calling it right down the middle the entire time. I will continue to do that. And I went off of who had the biggest eyeballs and Greg Miller had the biggest eyeballs on his. And that is the defining characteristic of Cheeto. Who's got big ass eyes.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Roger McCorney
Great job, Greg.
Mike
Thank you. Mike killed it, Greg.
Andy Cortez
You did really good on that one, Greg.
Mike
Thank you. Thank you very much. You get some points out there.
Andy Cortez
It looked like a book. Yeah, I got the pity points. Thank you.
Tim Geddes
It looked like a book.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Round number four. I want you guys to draw clungo. Oh, go.
Greg Miller
Forget clungo.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Clungo.
Andy Cortez
I'm gonna just draw a book. Whatever the word is. Just.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm gonna spell this word. I'm gonna spel.
Roger McCorney
Well, Chino, I felt like you. I Cheeto. You could have got that one.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
K, K L U N G O is clungo. K, L, K L U N G O is clungo.
Roger McCorney
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Now is that going to help?
Mike
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
Does that help?
Greg Miller
I don't know.
Roger McCorney
Patrick Longo.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Mike, how do you think you would fare in this, like in this category?
Roger McCorney
Oh, that's a great man. I'd be killing it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You know what I mean?
Roger McCorney
We have.
Andy Cortez
You should take my spot next. Get over here. Come on.
Roger McCorney
Next time. I love to judge.
Andy Cortez
I would love to judge.
Roger McCorney
You know what I mean? But I am a. I'm. I'm a straight down the middle judge. And that's why you bring me on this panel because I called straight down the middle every time.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, this beautiful contestants.
Roger McCorney
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Five seconds left.
Roger McCorney
Thank you. I think the audience would appreciate that.
Greg Miller
Yeah, it's great that this is pre recorded. Right. You know what I mean? Like we don't have to deal with the audience.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
We don't. We don't have to deal with the chat. All right, pencils down. We're going to start off with. You're right there with me.
Greg Miller
Great.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
We're going to show Greg's first.
Mike
I'd like to introduce everybody close up.
Roger McCorney
I was hoping he would see the.
Mike
Member of the Grady family.
Andy Cortez
You can see him swinging from his really good job.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, let's see Andy's.
Andy Cortez
I had a very. Why is he so sad?
Roger McCorney
I'm with you, Andy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm with you.
Andy Cortez
I'm thinking apish as well.
Roger McCorney
Right.
Andy Cortez
Kind of, you know, I think of like a primate sort of clung. Clungo.
Mike
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Andy Cortez
I get points.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy Cortez
I keep forgetting you use color, man. That's a Deciding boat.
Tim Geddes
Andy's way more artistically talented than me, but I'm in the same realm here where it's a dumb monkey. Like, this guy's kind of stupid. Like, he's really, like, big and heavy and stuff brown. But there is some shades of gray in there.
Mike
Wow.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay.
Andy Cortez
That's the gingerbread man from Shrek. Yeah, I was gonna say.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Barrett, show me clungo.
Greg Miller
So excited. I'm so nervous.
Andy Cortez
I'm really excited for this one. It's probably my favorite one.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So this is clungo.
Andy Cortez
That's me all day.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Like, this is one of the. One of those ones where I was like, all right, cool. You guys kind of locked in here.
Roger McCorney
Wow.
Andy Cortez
If I don't get three votes for.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This, I do have a confident vote here.
Andy Cortez
Just give me the pity points. I'm not gonna win. I'm gonna lose to Greg, But I deserve all three. Look how massive.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
We have more rounds.
Roger McCorney
You have a chance.
Andy Cortez
Look at how tiny my guy's legs are.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So I'll go for Andy. Andy, I think did have, like, the most appropriately, like, just a big, dumb guy.
Andy Cortez
Big arms, little legs, you know, 1000%.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Like, the proportions are actually kind of scarily accurate.
Andy Cortez
Legitimately. I think I've drawn this body style for this game about 13 times. We got a clungo archetype.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Mike, who you got?
Roger McCorney
Yeah, I call it straight down the middle every time.
Greg Miller
Okay.
Roger McCorney
Andy Cortez.
Andy Cortez
Thank you. Thank you, big dog.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Roger.
Greg Miller
Yeah, you know, me and Andy, we have a rough relationship on the show. Right. But. But, you know, I can't. I can't doubt it. Right. It is just the arms. It is the way that that body's built. It's clungo.
Mike
All.
Andy Cortez
That's the closest one to, like, wow. Andy maybe knows how clungo actually looks.
Roger McCorney
Yeah. That's the closest any of you have gotten to the actual thing. And it's funny.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
This was the first time you didn't.
Andy Cortez
Say this is a character from ban talking to you. The reverse jinx.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, round number five. I want you guys to draw Chris P. Bacon. Yep. His name is Chris, and then his middle initial is P. And then bacon.
Roger McCorney
Think about it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I mean, Chris is how you imagine it's spelled. Bacon is how you.
Roger McCorney
I used to know a crispy.
Andy Cortez
I know Chris P. Yeah.
Roger McCorney
You know, crispy.
Andy Cortez
Yeah.
Roger McCorney
Yeah. You don't say crispy enough, though.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
You know what I mean?
Roger McCorney
Oh, I should have been like, yo, what up, Crispy pictures.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Crispy P. I also didn't shout out the fact that some of the facts On Clungo here from last round, he was Grintilda's first faithful minion and the secondary antagonist of the Banjo Kazooie series before Piddles took over.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
He is a green Igor, like ogre or a troll who creates machines and other items to aid Gruntilda.
Greg Miller
Oh, it's an ogre.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Greg Miller
Oh, I thought that was a reptile.
Roger McCorney
Oh, yeah. Kind of a giant lizard, alligator type thing.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I feel like ogre.
Tim Geddes
What's his name again?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Chris P. Bacon.
Roger McCorney
Chris P. Chris Bacon.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
There's like a first name, middle initial, last name.
Roger McCorney
How crispy do you like your bacon? I'm on a like a seven day. Like, burn that thing.
Mike
No.
Roger McCorney
Yeah.
Greg Miller
I would say it's 6.5. Dude, I want it like by itself, but like on a sandwich, I want it really crispy.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't want it crispy at all. Like, I want. I want acid. Pins down. Yes. Let's start off with Andy colors again.
Mike
Not a black and white world. I mean, he's like. Yeah. Is he a pig guy or is he fading in it?
Roger McCorney
Yeah, I don't know. The head circle.
Mike
It's just DC Comics hit event zero hour where everybody got whited out at the end of the comic book.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, come on now.
Mike
I'm.
Roger McCorney
Have a coke.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Let's see, Tim.
Andy Cortez
He's got the little swirly tail, you.
Tim Geddes
Know, it's just a classic pig, Sam. Classic pig. Nothing crazy about it.
Greg Miller
Nothing crazy.
Tim Geddes
It's just a pig.
Greg Miller
Zero things crazy about it.
Tim Geddes
Zero things crazy about it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, show me Greg's.
Mike
Let me tell you guys, Chris Bacon is the coolest pig on the block.
Andy Cortez
All right?
Greg Miller
Fuck yeah.
Roger McCorney
Take it up a notch.
Mike
He's got sunglasses, he's got smiles, he's wearing a coat and a T shirt. I'm. You know, I didn't have, you know, I don't have the ability to get his detail that I want to, but that's what I was going for here.
Andy Cortez
This man flashes women in alleys. He's on the run from the law.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Show me Chris P. Bacon.
Mike
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
So this is Chris P. Bacon.
Mike
My guy's wearing glasses, he's wearing goggles.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
He is indeed a pig. You'll find him dangling in a cage in the temple of the fishes in Jolly Rogers Lagoon, Atlantis. He was part of a contest that ran in an issue of Nintendo Official Magazine uk, where ideas for his name were submitted. The winner, Simon Turk, submitted. Lincoln is his name.
Mike
So congrats, Simon.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Turkey Link, Dead rip.
Greg Miller
Change his name to Simon Cardi. Damn.
Tim Geddes
Look at his nose.
Roger McCorney
So we got. Okay, we got a pig by the book. We gotta buy the book pig.
Greg Miller
We got, like a swim. A pig.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Is that a Game Boy in his hand?
Roger McCorney
That is a Game Boy with the little camera as well. Yeah, Got the eye. Can we go through the three of them?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah.
Roger McCorney
This is gonna be a tough one. Right down the middle.
Andy Cortez
It's good. We're like, right now we're looking at what looks like a character from beyond good and evil. He looks like a lot more muscular.
Mike
This is what he looks like before he gets in the water. I'll have you.
Roger McCorney
All right.
Andy Cortez
We have a little pig.
Mike
Yeah, Nudie. A little small eyes, has seen everything. He's got cataracts.
Tim Geddes
I don't want to hate. Andy, like, like yours. Kind of looks like a horse more than a pig.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, it looks like a up. Wow.
Mike
And Tim says again, it's just a basic ass pig. Tim's pig doesn't go to Britain. He doesn't swim.
Tim Geddes
So the question.
Mike
Shark dive, boys.
Greg Miller
Is it closer to a cool, cool, cool pig or a normal pig? That is a great call. We gotta think about this. Like, he has made sure he's got.
Mike
A Game Boy of the camera. That's a cool pig.
Greg Miller
Is that cool, though? Is that.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Bring back crispy bacon. Bring him back up.
Greg Miller
Like, does this look cool?
Andy Cortez
He has the proportion.
Greg Miller
Does he look cool? Everybody, let's have the conversation.
Andy Cortez
Which one actually matches the energy of this picture?
Roger McCorney
Down the middle.
Andy Cortez
No, hold on, hold on.
Roger McCorney
Down the middle.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Let's be honest. We know who doesn't have it. So it's between the two.
Andy Cortez
Middle.
Tim Geddes
Let's.
Roger McCorney
Let's say. Who does that? Hold on.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
One, two, three.
Greg Miller
Andy.
Andy Cortez
We don't even know what Greg's looks like. His chest down, he didn't grow. He didn't draw a belly or legs or arms.
Mike
For the record. For the record, if you would have given me 10 more seconds, I would have drawn in British shorts. So there you go. I'm saying you would have. You would have done it.
Andy Cortez
You drew a bust. You drew a bust of a pig. I'm honestly rooting for tears.
Tim Geddes
Finished pig.
Roger McCorney
It's a full body.
Andy Cortez
You didn't even finish the head. I still focus on color interpretation.
Mike
Weird ass goat.
Roger McCorney
He's got a horse snout mixed with a dragon's belly.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I don't like he's the one artist here, by the way.
Andy Cortez
I drew a full body. I'm rooting for Tim because, yes, Greg is doing the like now. You'll. You'll fill in the Blanks. Let me just drop.
Mike
I don't. I'm just playing the game, everybody.
Greg Miller
For real. Well, Greg is a cool one, and he keeps on saying that he's wearing a leather jacket.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I'm not even paying attention to what Greg is saying because I'm looking at. But here's my thing, right? And honestly, this should be between myself. Not sure.
Greg Miller
But let's talk. Let's have a conversation.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Talking about it. Greg's has clothes on and crispy bacon and the thing. But. But. But Greg has the wrong clothes. So now it's a thing of like. And do I go with the basic pig and Tim.
Greg Miller
Tim is more naked than. Than Greg's.
Andy Cortez
That's true.
Mike
Tim's pig couldn't. Tim's pig would never own a Game Boy or goggles.
Tim Geddes
Yes, it would.
Mike
Throw your pig back up.
Roger McCorney
I like when you sell me on it, too. That's why I like throw your pig back up.
Mike
Don't be afraid, Barrett. This pig.
Tim Geddes
This kid is playing adventure kids.
Mike
This is just a pig laying on its back waiting for belly rubs.
Andy Cortez
No, actually, this is not a cheating pig whatsoever. It matches more of the energy of crispy bacon, though.
Mike
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Tim Geddes
Crispy bacon is not cool.
Andy Cortez
Actually, I do need. Need Greg to win.
Mike
Have you gone to a farm and seen a pig in British shorts with a Game Boy and goggles?
Roger McCorney
No, you haven't.
Andy Cortez
Can you bring up Greg's. Can you bring up Greg's?
Greg Miller
Because I have glasses. Greg has glasses. The wrong glasses.
Andy Cortez
I need Greg to win. So underneath where he didn't draw, there are British underwear. You just don't see it.
Mike
And I'll let you guys know just because I need to protect the company. I know we all want to have fun here. Whatever. You're all getting dangerously short. Close to fat shaming. When you're saying that he's not cool. So I just wanted to put that out. Vote that crispy bacon. The real Chris isn't cool because he's fat. Roger. Is that what it's about?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Damn.
Andy Cortez
No, obviously it's because he's British. If I were. If I were on the panel, I would vote for Tim, but I need Greg to win.
Roger McCorney
Well, don't influence us now. Yeah, come on.
Andy Cortez
Oh, now you don't want influence from the mike.
Roger McCorney
I. I'm taking no influence at all. I'm calling down the middle. I'm calling him right down the middle.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, let's start off well.
Andy Cortez
Tim can't even win Anyway, it's a final round, right?
Mike
No, no, we have one more round.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Let's start off with Mike.
Roger McCorney
Yes. I'm happy to say that I call things right down the middle. Okay. When I see it, I know it. And when I get sold on it, I feel it. But it was Tim Getty. Thank you, Tim Getty.
Tim Geddes
Thank you, Mike. Right down the middle.
Roger McCorney
Right down the middle.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
For me, this is a really tough one. Like, a really, really tough one because. Because portrait mode does come down to the question of accuracy. Who had the closer drawing?
Andy Cortez
No, it doesn't.
Mike
It's like when you see him bullshitting, bullshitting, bullshitting, bullshitting.
Andy Cortez
You're trying to convince yourself that this is a serious mode.
Roger McCorney
Right down the middle.
Tim Geddes
The fuck are we talking about?
Roger McCorney
Right down the middle.
Tim Geddes
This pig was man sized with a jacket.
Mike
Your pig was just a pig.
Greg Miller
So I see the arguments from both sides, right, Greg, I understand that yours is the only one that had glasses, but it was the wrong glasses, right? You, you had just a generic little pig. It didn't have the shorts, didn't have the Game Boy, but it embodied more of the spirit of that character. And I think Greg went the wrong direction. So I'm going with Tim.
Roger McCorney
Wow.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Wow.
Andy Cortez
All right.
Mike
Notorious Fat Shamer. Roger goes against the Fat Shamer.
Greg Miller
You know me, Barrett. That's why I lost it.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Can I get a quick score recap from you?
Andy Cortez
Oh, right now, tied for second place, two people, you know, who are just.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Just scraping by are the equivalent of a second graders giving drawings to their parents that don't even go up on the fridge. It is Andy Cortez for Team Purple and Tim Geddes for team orange with.
Andy Cortez
40 points each and in the lead. Clearly a lot of people call him this ages Picasso. It is Greg Miller for team blue with 80 points, but it is still anybody's game is in.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Blessing Adioye Jr.
All right, contestants have all their answers written down. We're going to rewind this back to round number one. Baird, if you can bring up the four games that we had for round number one, once again, it was A, Furry Back rooms. B, Backroom Back shots. C, Poly Backroom D, Backrooms Lost. Tim, what was your answer for round number one?
Tim Geddes
So I. You know, you got to think about Roger here. You got to think about what Roger's capable of and what goes through his mind. I'm like, out of all of these, I can't see him doing the back shots, and I feel like somebody. I'm gonna go with furry back rooms because that looks like the type of logo that Roger would, like, put a lot of effort into to shock us.
Greg Miller
Yeah.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Okay, Andy.
Roger McCorney
Okay.
Andy Cortez
I went with C Poly back rooms because I just imagine him downloading the Mario 64 font.
Blessing Adioye Jr.

Roger McCorney
Oh, can I guess?

Yeah.
Greg Miller
Can I reveal?
Blessing Adioye Jr.
Yeah, go for it.

Yeah. It's kind of up that you guys wouldn't think that I couldn't do back shots. Of course I'm doing back shots.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
The correct answer is indeed B, backroom back shots, meaning nobody gets.
Greg Miller
I looked at Blessing, and I was like, do you think backroom back shots is a little much? He's like, ah, you're fine.
Blessing Adioye Jr.
I think I also was like, ah, it's too obvious.
Mike
That's the problem, though, with steam, where you're like, I don't know.
