[Gary Whitta]

Are you dreaming of the perfect prom? But there's just one thing holding you back.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Speak English, Mom.

[Gary Whitta]

Welcome to Ethnosync Ethnic modification.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

What is this place?

[Gary Whitta]

We help you reach your true potential. How are you feeling?

[Andy Cortez]

It's good to be Hawaii. Hey, new girl. Hey.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Look at what you've done to yourself.

[Andy Cortez]

For a new plant to grow, the

[Gary Whitta]

seed has to die. Slanted Rated R. Only in theaters March 13th. Side effects may occur.

[Tim Gettys]

This episode's brought to you by Arc Raiders, a multiplayer extraction adventure video game set in a lethal yet vibrant future earth. Available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S and PC arc raiders dot com.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'm a soldier.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, my God.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

First class. And today we're playing kind of feudi. Get ready for game showdown. Yo, what's up? Welcome to game showdown. I'm one of your host Blessing Adioye junior. And I'm joined by three contestants representing three teams. He's a shredder. We have Tim Geddes representing team Orange.

[Tim Gettys]

Pleasure to be here today. Bless.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

For those who come after. We have Andy Cortez representing team Purple.

[Andy Cortez]

Hello there.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And of course, team Blue. It's always one battle after another. We have Gary Whitta representing team Blue revolution as Leonardo DiCaprio's character in one battle after name. I always forget. What's the name of your character?

[Gary Whitta]

Bob Ferguson.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Bob Ferguson. There you go. And of course, like always, we're starting off with a Trivia question worth 10 points.

[Tim Gettys]

What a crew we have today.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Whatever feels like 4.

[Gary Whitta]

Let's just take a moment. Let's just take a moment to suck each other's dicks here. I feel like we all brought it to. We all brought our A games.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

I tried to give Timson grief. I said teemu Shredder. But then Andy corrected me. No, actually, screen accurate animated.

[Tim Gettys]

Shredder.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Shredder. Yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

Fuck me.

[Andy Cortez]

I guess I was very confused driving in this morning. Morning, wait, like, waiting for the gate to open and I see a black, you know, vehicle pull up with this person in it. I was like, who the is trying to turn?

[Gary Whitta]

I gave someone you and Nick. I gave us. I gave someone a scare when they're watching. Oh, no. It's finally happened.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

It's finally aged. Of course. We're gonna start off with a trivia question worth 10 points and the chance to go first in kind of feudy. Contestants buzz in to answer. This is a messy mashup. I'm going to read to you a clue which will be the description of a game. The answer will be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, I might say in this game sneak through top down corridors while defending the Earth from alien invasion. The answer would be metal. Gears of War contestants, are you ready?

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm looking for.

[Gary Whitta]

Hold on. Hold on.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

Gears of War is not set on Earth.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You know, I've had.

[Gary Whitta]

Right right away.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, this now it's part of a meme because I've learned. I learned this because I've given this example so many times. But I just keep it in there for fun. But you're actually. You're actually right. I'm gonna give you a tip of the hat for that. Wow.

[Andy Cortez]

Nice.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Catching on to that.

[Gary Whitta]

I'd rather have a point, but whatever.

[Andy Cortez]

Very admirable.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

All right. It goes like this. Repeatedly navigate through shifting corridors in this puzzle adventure starring a familiar royal heiress transform into a swordfighter, ninja, cowgirl or even a figure skater.

[Gary Whitta]

The fuck.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Repeatedly navigate through shifting corridors in this puzzle adventure starring a familiar royal heiress transform into a sword fighter, ninja, cowgirl or even a figure skater.

[Gary Whitta]

I give up. I don't know what the fuck is going on.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, I. I know.

[Gary Whitta]

Are you just making this shit up now? Is that you're fucking with us? Is that what this is?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, these are two games mashed up together. Tim Gettys

[Tim Gettys]

Bat Princess Peach. Showtime.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That is incorrect. Andy and Carrie still have the ability to guess if they can get it.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm. I mean I tapped out ages ago. Just.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'm just like Andy

[Andy Cortez]

Tomadachi live

[Gary Whitta]

now.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That is.

[Gary Whitta]

Watch this.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That is incorrect.

[Gary Whitta]

Incoming.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Huh? The answer that nobody got. Blue Princess Peach.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow. Damn.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Again, the clue was repeatedly. All right. Okay. No.

[Gary Whitta]

All right.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Repeatedly.

[Gary Whitta]

We should have got that.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah. I think we were overthinking.

[Tim Gettys]

Don't know what that game is.

[Gary Whitta]

It's definitely not that fat prince. Got that when it came out.

[Andy Cortez]

You were different people and live a live right? Or live.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah. Oh.

[Tim Gettys]

I thought you skater, but I liked where you.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah. You're going with the transforming and different things.

[Gary Whitta]

My chair makes me look like I'm shorter than these are Jokers and that's fucking right.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

Well, it's also the shorter than Andy. Are you joking me?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

All right, here we go. Do you mind shifting up the mic, I think, Kevin?

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah. Let me raise this a little bit.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

While you do that, let me remind you that of course, this is Game Showdown Kind of Funny's nerdy game show that you can watch live right here on twitch and on YouTube.

[Gary Whitta]

You are rocking this look, by the way. Every time I see you on the monitor, I'm like, damn, thank you.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I appreciate it. Are you rocking this look? I like this.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, I know, but, like, I'm not. I'm not a thirst trap like you and you and Andy here. Unless you're into some very specific. I don't know, me and Andy definitely

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

got to do a Photoshop photo shoot. We got to. Of course, the rules are simple. I've surveyed over 2, 000 members of the Kind of Funny audience on a number of prompts. Each round. I'm going to read you a prompt and we'll ask each of you which answer you you think the Kind of Funny Best Friends gave the most. I've narrowed down to five answers per prompt. If you give the correct answer, the more popular the answer, the more points you'll receive.

[Gary Whitta]

Okay, so this is actually the legally distinct Family Feud part of the show, right?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

A legally distinct version of a game show. Who knows which game show? I don't know. For example, I might ask you to name a game that takes place in San Francisco. If. If Tim says Watchdogs 2 when it's number one, they'll net him 50 points. If Andy says San Francisco Russian, that's number two, that'll get him 40 points. If Gary says Jet Li rise to honor and that's number three, that'll get him 30 points. And so on.

[Gary Whitta]

Understood?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And so forth. Each player will get a max of two guesses per round. Last place goes first after the first round. Whoever gets the most points after five rounds wins. There's also a secret answer hidden in one of the rounds. It's not one of the top five answers, but if you happen to get it, it's worth five points and you get to guess again. Are you ready?

[Tim Gettys]

Yes.

[Andy Cortez]

Yes.

[Gary Whitta]

Yes, sir.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Round number one is this Buzzes. No, no needed. I'll call on you. Round 1. Name a game known for how realistic its graphics are. Name a game known for how realistic its graphics are. For this one, I'll accept franchise answers. I'm going to start off with Gary Wida.

[Gary Whitta]

When did you do this?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Paul August,

[Gary Whitta]

Flight Simulator.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Flight Simulator.

[Gary Whitta]

That's a bad call. Your audience doesn't play that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah, Flight Simulator is not.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, it's a good answer.

[Tim Gettys]

It's a great.

[Gary Whitta]

But I was giving the real gamers answer, not the casuals that work.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy, you're up next. I also gotta take off.

[Gary Whitta]

It's tricky, right?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

So I can type.

[Gary Whitta]

Because all kinds of games have photorealistic style graphics. I was gonna say Battlefield 6. It wouldn't have come out. So it's invalid, but it's franchise.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, Last of Us.

[Gary Whitta]

Good. Good answer.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy says Last of Us. Last of us is our 40 point answer.

[Tim Gettys]

Tim, that's legit the 40 point answer. Because the 50 point answer is Red Dead Redemption.

[Andy Cortez]

That was gonna be my other.

[Gary Whitta]

That's. That's gonna be the top answer, actually.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim says Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead as a Franchise is our 30 point answer. Gary, we are back to you. You have a second guess here for name a game known for how realistic its graphics are.

[Gary Whitta]

I think I've got a better understanding on how to. Because you're not thinking about your answer. You're thinking about what the audience is gonna say.

[Andy Cortez]

Yes.

[Gary Whitta]

Call of Duty.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Call of Duty. Call of Duty is not on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, the audience.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

You gotta think about our audience, though.

[Gary Whitta]

You know, your audience doesn't play fucking cod.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, they definitely do. I feel like they do. I feel like ever since Mike joined, just Nick and Mike, the waves have changed. Andy, Cyberpunk. And it says Cyberpunk 2077.

[Gary Whitta]

That's a good one.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Cyberpunk is not on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

Your audience is fucking unhinged.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim.

[Tim Gettys]

Gran Turismo.

[Andy Cortez]

That's great.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim says Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo is not fucking Woody.

[Gary Whitta]

Watch this.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You're fucking the list.

[Gary Whitta]

Your audience is gonna end up. Fortnite's gonna be number one. Look, just wait and see.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, that's all.

[Gary Whitta]

Just tell me how you phrase the question.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I phrased it. Name a game known for how realistic its graphics are. And also there's only two guesses. So you're.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm gonna say Battlefield.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Battlefield was not on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

Fuck me.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Our ten point. I think you already guessed Battlefield.

[Gary Whitta]

No, I just kind of threw out that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, you threw it out there. Yeah, yeah. Our 10 point answer that nobody got Hellblade.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

What was the top.

[Gary Whitta]

What was the top answer?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, we're getting there. The 20 point answer that nobody got. Crisis.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, that's just a meme at this point.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You got to go with the memes.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, but that's the thing. Realistic or just high quality?

[Gary Whitta]

I mean they were good for its time, but it's really just known as a system hog.

[Tim Gettys]

Right. Or.

[Gary Whitta]

But can it run crisis, you know?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And then our 50 point answer that nobody got Death Stranding. If you play Death Stranding too.

[Gary Whitta]

Does have. It does have good. It does have good games.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

It's realistic.

[Tim Gettys]

That's really good.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah. I almost shit myself when I first saw that trailer for the second game. With that, I think I actually did get a skitty.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim got the third. Tim got the 30 point answer with Red Dead. And he got the 40 point answer with Last of us. As we move on to round number two. Name a blue video game character again.

[Gary Whitta]

Are we on buzzes?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

No, I'll call on you.

[Gary Whitta]

Okay.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I just say it twice just for good measure.

[Gary Whitta]

Got it, Got it.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Name a blue video game character. We're gonna start off with Gary.

[Gary Whitta]

Sonic.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Sonic. Sonic is our 50 point answer.

[Gary Whitta]

That's a gimme. Come on, Tim. Goin not take too much credit for that, Tim.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, do I have to go next?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You do have to go next,

[Tim Gettys]

Man. I'm not feeling good about this. I'm telling you that right now. I just got Sonic on the mind.

[Gary Whitta]

Once you do Sonic, it kind of goes off a cliff.

[Tim Gettys]

It does. Rosalina

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

says Rosalina for Name a blue video game character. Rosalina.

[Gary Whitta]

She has a blue dress, right?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Is not on the list. I don't even feel tricky.

[Gary Whitta]

I kind of want to just hear what the other answers are when we get to it.

[Andy Cortez]

Andy, I'm in a tough spot right now. I'm gonna say Blastoise.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

The Andy says Blastoise. Blastoise is not on the list. Gary, we are back to you.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm already clutching at straws, so I'm gonna go with my. Just happens to be my favorite Pokemon. Snorlax.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Snorlax. Snorlax is not on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

I. I knew it would be. I just wanted to give Snorlax a shout out.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim. Shout out to Snorlax. Shout out Snorlax.

[Tim Gettys]

Cortana.

[Gary Whitta]

That's good. That's good.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim. Says, very good. Cortana is our ten point.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, just in there at the bottom.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

All right, Andy, we're back to you.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm gonna go with a little slime.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, Andy just says a little slime from Dragon Quest. Slime. Blue Slime is not on the list.

[Andy Cortez]

The COVID athlete for Pokemon Blue, but

[Tim Gettys]

it's not on the list. Here's the question. We're done, right?

[Andy Cortez]

Is this Squirtle?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

We're done.

[Gary Whitta]

Just give us the other answers. I want to know our 20 point

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

answer, which nobody got. Liara. From massive.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, come on.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Which is one that I thought Andy would have got, but that's like just

[Andy Cortez]

such a deep cut. I would not have even thought.

[Tim Gettys]

That's crazy.

[Gary Whitta]

Our third point again, it's like bluish purple. Yeah, okay, whatever. I get. No, she's blue.

[Andy Cortez]

Or maybe Garrus.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Our 30 point answer.

[Gary Whitta]

Garrus is wordle.

[Tim Gettys]

Wordle.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You went blast.

[Gary Whitta]

It was. That's the other Pokemons, except Squirtle.

[Andy Cortez]

That's why I said I'm in a tough fuck, guys.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

No, you guys really fucked up on this one.

[Tim Gettys]

No, I just want everyone to know that I'm hearing something right now. I got a chill down my spine.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, I hear, too.

[Tim Gettys]

I hear some bells. And those bells can only mean one thing.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Where are they coming from?

[Tim Gettys]

They're coming from behind us.

[Andy Cortez]

Bless.

[Tim Gettys]

They're everywhere.

[Gary Whitta]

Like the sound of this.

[Tim Gettys]

There's no way the mics could pick

[Andy Cortez]

up this horrible, horrible sound of a little jingle.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm not.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, no, the kitty's here.

[Gary Whitta]

You have to tell me about this before I agree to. Come on, stop. No, this is worse.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

It's a stray.

[Gary Whitta]

This is worse than Mike and Roger in the fucking Sailor Moon. Schoolgirl let the door open.

[Andy Cortez]

Fuck. The cat's back.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

It's picked up astray than you are of it.

[Tim Gettys]

No.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, guys hitting all the buzzers.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, no.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, shit.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm not.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

They like. They like messing around.

[Andy Cortez]

Damn it, dude.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Touching things.

[Gary Whitta]

We've talked. We've talked about you guys pulling shit.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Wow, Is that cleavage?

[Andy Cortez]

I do see some cleavage.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Cleavage.

[Andy Cortez]

Really nice boob.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Wow.

[Andy Cortez]

All right.

[Gary Whitta]

You want something to knock off the table? Nick, spray some water.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, that's awful. Also the 40 point answer that's disturbing, which nobody got Mega man me the blue box.

[Gary Whitta]

Okay, we did. We missed it. We did miss that one.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's on y'.

[Tim Gettys]

All.

[Gary Whitta]

Mega man is not exactly.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's on y'.

[Gary Whitta]

All. And he is bright blue.

[Andy Cortez]

The Blue Bomber.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

With that, tim got the 10 point answer with Cortana. And Gary got the 50 point.

[Gary Whitta]

I did. I got the big one at least

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

with Sonic the Hedgehog. Barrett, what's the score?

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

All right, now the score tied in second place.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Not with a lot of points.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

It's a low scoring scoring game. Today it is Verso for team purple with 40 points and Tim Shreddy's for Team Orange, but in the lead. Somehow everybody doubted him, but he's showing up again. I forget the character's name, so I'm just gonna say Gary Whitta for team blue with 50 points, but it's still anybody's game.

[Gary Whitta]

It was that. It was that Sonic Gimme. Really. I mean, anyone kind of guys like falling. Falling off a log.

[Tim Gettys]

That's the type of question though, that, like, there's such an obvious answer that you. It creates fog. You can't.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah, you can't see.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, before I answer, Blast was like, I'm in between two spots right now. It's either Squirtle or Blastoise. And if I say Squirtle and it's not on the list, people are going to go, andy, the. The COVID character is Blastoise. Why wouldn't you say black?

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

You know, I mean, you also didn't think of Mega man, and we all know you as the Mega man fan here, and that's really embarrassing.

[Gary Whitta]

There's a ton of blue Charmanders, a bunch of like, blue Pokemon. We didn't even say. Isn't Charmander blue?

[Andy Cortez]

No, he's red.

[Gary Whitta]

No. What am I thinking of? I am thinking of squirrels. No, fair enough.

[Andy Cortez]

It was on the list.

[Tim Gettys]

Fair enough.

[Gary Whitta]

I'm not. I'm not in any way a Pokemon expert.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, don't worry.

[Andy Cortez]

I have.

[Gary Whitta]

My kids got these little. I hate this because I had to use Chat GPT, which I don't like doing, but it did fix it for me. So, like, I've got these little Pokemon Hershey Kisses and at the bottom of each one is a little Pokemon. Just the picture. And my kid will say, what's that one? I'm like, I don't fucking know. But you point your camera at it. What the fuck is that? Oh, that's Charizard. Brilliant. What an age we live in.

[Tim Gettys]

One. You didn't know.

[Gary Whitta]

No, it wasn't cherry. No, no. I just.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

For the.

[Gary Whitta]

It was that much more obscure one than that. Of course I wouldn't have Charizard.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

There's a lot of game left, so don't worry, contestants, this is still anybody's game.

[Gary Whitta]

Fuck you.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim before we get there, before we get there, I'm going to create a little bit of a buffer before I move on to add the commonality. That might be enough of a buffer right there. Patreon.com kind of funny YouTube.com kind of funny games where you can go and get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free.

[Gary Whitta]

I'll try the battle Royale for sure.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And we're back with round number three. Name a PS1 JRPG that's not in the Final Fantasy franchise.

[Andy Cortez]

I just, man, like, you can't get mad at me for not saying Mega man when blessing says jrpg. And I was like jpeg, wow, I

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

could get mad at both.

[Andy Cortez]

What do you mean jpeg?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

What do you mean?

[Andy Cortez]

It's all the silver hair fumes over the last week, man. They made me even more dumb.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Again, the prompt is name a PS1 JRPG that is not in the Final Fantasy franchise. We're going to start off with Tim Geddes.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay, see, now I'm playing little mind games here. Where am I going to go so that y' all can't.

[Gary Whitta]

$1 Drew. Is that what you're trying to do? You're trying to us over?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

$2 xenogears.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim says xenogears. Xenogears is our 20 point. Yeah, good job. Answer. Andy, you're up next.

[Andy Cortez]

Here's a. Here's a Hail Mary. Dropping back. Vagrant Story.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy says Vagrant Story. Vagrant Story is not on the list. Gary Whitta.

[Gary Whitta]

See, I skipped the PlayStation 1 genre generation entirely. So I know very little about it other than like the big standard bearer games. I think. I think Proper the Rapper is the only game I ever played on fucking PS1.

[Andy Cortez]

That's all you need.

[Gary Whitta]

I mean, seriously, you know. You know, I can do all those songs.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Can you really? What's the first one?

[Gary Whitta]

Any, Any. Anytime that my kid and I. Bacon in the kitchen. Crack, crack, crack. The egg into the bowl, the flower into the ball. It's awesome. Dude bars. I'm. I'm gonna, I don't even. I'm gonna say this. Maybe a game. Tales of Symphonia.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia is not. Yeah, I have to guess, though, but that's a lady.

[Gary Whitta]

This is. This. I'm way out of my depth here.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim, we're back to you.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay, I have two, and I just don't know which is going to be higher. I think for the amount we've brought this name up on different shows, I'm going to go with Legend of Dragoon.

[Gary Whitta]

Legend of what?

[Tim Gettys]

Dragoon.

[Gary Whitta]

Dragoon.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Okay. Tim says Legend of Dragoon. Legend. Legend of Dragoon is our 50.

[Tim Gettys]

Wow.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Holy shit answer.

[Gary Whitta]

That's well deserved, Tim. That's fucking. I was hoping that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim. Levy.

[Tim Gettys]

Yep.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy and Gary, I need y' all to show up. Andy, you're up next.

[Andy Cortez]

I mean, you're asking the wrong question. Let's see, Not in the Final Fantasy Universe, and there's so many outside of that, so we all know that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

So many.

[Andy Cortez]

Let's see. I'm gonna go with. Is that a no? I'm gonna go with Suikoden.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy says sweek it in. Sweekoden is our 10 point answer. Gary, you're a final guess on this one.

[Gary Whitta]

I, I, I again that you might as well be asking me about 1970s minor league baseball. So I don't, I don't even think this is an rpg, but it's literally like all I can think of. Valkyria Chr.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Valkyria Chronicles. Valkyria Chronicles is not. Yeah, on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

Another one. Let me see here.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Go for it.

[Tim Gettys]

Chrono Cross.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That was our 44 answer.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, yeah. Wild Arms.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

No, Damn.

[Andy Cortez]

No Wild Arms.

[Tim Gettys]

Okay,

[Andy Cortez]

you bring it up.

[Gary Whitta]

Was Dragon Quest ever on PlayStation?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, it was a bunch of those.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Lunar. No.

[Gary Whitta]

Okay, give us the rest.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, Tim said our 40.1, which was Chrono Cross. Our 30 point answer was which nobody got. Chrono Trigger.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, that is such a technicality.

[Gary Whitta]

I think Chrono Trigger. I think of that as it is a Nintendo game.

[Tim Gettys]

It was ported to PlayStation in Final Fantasy Anthology, which means it doesn't even count.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Some ones I'll throw out there for fun. Our sixth place answer would have been Dragon Quest 7 with 97 votes in the audience. Our seventh place answer with 82 votes, Vagrant Story. Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

Not a secret answer. It's crazy.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And then our the one under that with 80 votes would have been Parasite Eve.

[Gary Whitta]

And sorry, what was the top answer?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

The top answer was Legend of Dragoon given by Tim.

[Gary Whitta]

Got it.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim also got us with the 20 point answer which is Xeno Gears. But Andy slid in there with the 10 point answer which is Swee it In. As we work our way to round

[Gary Whitta]

number four, running away.

[Andy Cortez]

My one was Metal Gear Solid and MLB 2001. Like it just weren't doing that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Round number four, of course, they call this moving day.

[Andy Cortez]

Moving day. Of course.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Round 4. Name a game with Tycoon in the title. Name a game with tycoon in the title. We're going to start off with Andy

[Andy Cortez]

Cortez Roller Coaster Tycoon.

[Gary Whitta]

That's going to be the top answer.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And he says Roller Coaster Tycoon. Roller Coaster tycoon is our 50 point answer. Gary, you're up next.

[Gary Whitta]

That was a layup. Railroad Tycoon.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says Railroad tycoon. Railroad tycoon is our 20 point answer.

[Gary Whitta]

I'll give you a deep cut. Back in the days when I was editor of PC Gamer, we had to write a cover headline for a story on Railroad tycoon. You know what I came up with? Financial Transaction.

[Andy Cortez]

Wow. Wow, that's really good. Yeah, I like that.

[Gary Whitta]

You like that? Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim.

[Tim Gettys]

See, this is the opposite now. JRPGs. I got that tycoon weird ass piece,

[Gary Whitta]

you know, into like the building.

[Andy Cortez]

Well, I don't got that. I mean I got the.

[Tim Gettys]

You got the one. Yeah. So I'm like, I'm just doing some math in my head here about like, okay, context clues.

[Gary Whitta]

This is another one where after those two gimmes, it kind of gets tricky.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Is Roro Tycoon a gimme?

[Gary Whitta]

I mean, I think it is maybe not for everyone.

[Andy Cortez]

Crash Banded tycoon.

[Tim Gettys]

Hotel tycoon.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim says Hotel tycoon. Hotel Tycoon is not on the list. Andy.

[Andy Cortez]

So that's where my knowledge ended. But I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say mal tycoon.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy says mall tycoon. Mall tycoon is not on the list. Gary.

[Gary Whitta]

Zoo tycoon.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, that's.

[Andy Cortez]

That's it.

[Gary Whitta]

It was sitting there.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's the one. Gary says Zoo tycoon.

[Andy Cortez]

Where else do people gather?

[Tim Gettys]

I know.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Zoo tycoon is our 40 point answer. A strong showing from Gary, this round.

[Gary Whitta]

Thank you, sir.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim, you're a final guess here.

[Andy Cortez]

Also understand, Gary, you're playing for Greg and what a piece of shit he is, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

I should start. I should start fumbling these.

[Tim Gettys]

My last guess so I can talk this out. I'm thinking airport. I'm thinking park. I'm thinking city. Movie theater. Too specific?

[Andy Cortez]

Or is it.

[Gary Whitta]

I just want. I just want to give credit to my kid. I didn't see this, but my kid is watching the show. She texted me. Zoo Tycoon. She beat both of you guys.

[Tim Gettys]

City Tycoon.

[Gary Whitta]

I don't think that's even a game, is it?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

We're about to. Tim says City Tycoon. City Tycoon is not on Theme park the list.

[Gary Whitta]

No, that's just theme park though. It's not theme park.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

No theme park is that one. Because Roller Coaster is the one. What was the one you said?

[Tim Gettys]

Station.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Space Station is not one on the list.

[Gary Whitta]

I feel like there's one other like. Oh, big one one in there somewhere.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, our 10 point answer which nobody got. Transport Tycoon.

[Andy Cortez]

Nope.

[Gary Whitta]

No.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Which is kind of close.

[Andy Cortez]

Were any of them not in the Tycoon series franchise?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, is it? I've always.

[Gary Whitta]

I don't think.

[Andy Cortez]

I don't word Tycoon.

[Gary Whitta]

Well, I think. I think Roller Coaster Tycoon was the first one to do it, right? No, no, no. It would have been Railroad Tycoon. That was the original one. Because that's been around for 35.

[Andy Cortez]

No, but I'm asking, like, was there a PS2 platformer named like, you know, Tycoon? And he's.

[Gary Whitta]

Yeah, yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

So the 30 point answer, which nobody got. Game Dev Tycoon.

[Andy Cortez]

Ah.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh no. I used to play Game Dev Story.

[Andy Cortez]

Me too.

[Gary Whitta]

I used to like Game Dev Story. All my games had ninjas in them. I only made games about ninjas with that.

[Tim Gettys]

It's the 80s.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary got the 20 point answer with Railroad Tycoon.

[Gary Whitta]

Look at this. It's tight. It's tightening up in the top now. Look at this.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary got the 40 point answer with Zoo Tycoon. And Andy got the 50 point answer with Roller Coaster Tycoon. As we make our way to the fifth and final round, we it all

[Tim Gettys]

comes down to this.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Name a game or franchise that has star in the title.

[Gary Whitta]

Fuck me.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

But isn't a Star wars game? Name a game or franchise that has the word star in the title, but isn't a Star wars game.

[Gary Whitta]

The problem is there's so fucking many of them.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

We're going to start off with Andy.

[Gary Whitta]

Man, this is one of those where I would not want to go first.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Tim Gettys]

I would.

[Andy Cortez]

Okay. A game or a franchise?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Either game or franchise. So if you say it's franchise, that answer, I will accept it.

[Andy Cortez]

I'm just so.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, fuck.

[Andy Cortez]

I just. My brain's not operating. It's worse than it usually is. I'm gonna go with. Star Fox.

[Gary Whitta]

That's good.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy says Star Fox. Star fox is our 50 point. Holy answer.

[Andy Cortez]

That hit me at the last millisecond.

[Gary Whitta]

Possible Star wing would also have been accepted. I'm sure.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary Widow.

[Gary Whitta]

Yes. I might be getting too clever for my own good here, but hold this. Stardew Valley.

[Andy Cortez]

That's great.

[Tim Gettys]

It's really good.

[Andy Cortez]

That's really good.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Gary says starting.

[Andy Cortez]

He's not clever at all. That's great.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Stardew Valley is our 10 point. Oh, I feel like it's there.

[Gary Whitta]

I feel like it's worth more.

[Tim Gettys]

That was good.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Come on.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

He deserves another tip of the hat.

[Gary Whitta]

Give it to him.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

I'll give you a tip.

[Andy Cortez]

But to him. Not to Greg, though.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah, not to Greg, but not to team Blue.

[Andy Cortez]

Just Gary and Just Gary.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Tim, you're up next.

[Tim Gettys]

You really. You really screwed me there. Fantasy Star Tim, with the P. Including online and all that.

[Andy Cortez]

Pretty hot and tempting.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Says Fantasy star with a ph.

[Andy Cortez]

Ph.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

A T. Fantasy star is not on the list.

[Tim Gettys]

Oh, no.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Andy, this is your shot. You're up next.

[Gary Whitta]

I mean, you could lock it down right now.

[Andy Cortez]

Starfield

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

success. Starfield.

[Gary Whitta]

What does it say about the success of Starfield that that was a fourth round pick?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Starfield is our 40 point answer.

[Gary Whitta]

Starfield.

[Tim Gettys]

We did.

[Gary Whitta]

That's it. This is. This is Andy running away with it. This is Andy running away with it. You motherfucker. You motherfucker.

[Tim Gettys]

Holy shit.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

For good measure, Gary, you're up next with the guests.

[Gary Whitta]

I was. I mean, we just doing it for fun now.

[Tim Gettys]

For fun.

[Gary Whitta]

We did it. Let's go, Mike. Come on.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Gary Whitta]

Is that.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Is that your first personal win for Team Purple? Yeah, it's my first personal.

[Gary Whitta]

Well done. I'm so tired of letting Mike down.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I think that's Andy's first win in like two seasons.

[Andy Cortez]

It's been a long time.

[Gary Whitta]

All right, I wanna let. Okay, so I was torn between if it was gonna come back to me. I was torn between two Star Ocean and Star Tropics.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Do you want to commit to one for the guess?

[Gary Whitta]

No, Just tell me what's.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

What. I'm gonna give you Star Ocean. Star Ocean was the 30 point star tropics.

[Tim Gettys]

Good for you.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Gary Whitta]

Again, though, it's like you go, oh, look at what. Look at all the games. I know, but it's like, it might not be on there, you know?

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Andy Cortez]

I'll tell you how doomed I was until the last millisecond. I thought of Star Fox. Like, it wasn't even like, should I say Starfire? It wasn't that at all.

[Gary Whitta]

Star Fox and Starfield put you.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That was it.

[Andy Cortez]

My first answer was going to be Mario RPG the Legend.

[Tim Gettys]

That's great.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That.

[Andy Cortez]

But like, that's how bad things were, dude.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You have a final guess if you want to use it.

[Tim Gettys]

Star Citizen start.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's our 20 point answer.

[Andy Cortez]

Nice.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's a good. That's a full wipe, actually.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn it.

[Andy Cortez]

Holy shit.

[Tim Gettys]

You got me with Star Fox.

[Gary Whitta]

That was a good one. That was a good one.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Wow.

[Andy Cortez]

When you were like, like, I'd like to go first. Like, oh, shit, I have nothing.

[Gary Whitta]

So these are. These are the final standings.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

These are the final standings. Let me recap real quick though. With that round, we're asking to name a game of franchise that star in the title. Gary got the 10 point answer with Stardew Valley. Tim got the 20 point answer with Star Citizen. Gary got the 30 point answer with Star Ocean. And he got the 40 point answer ceiling in his win with Starfield. And he got the 50 point answer at the start of it with Star Fox for fun. Our sixth place answer for this one would have been Starcraft.

[Andy Cortez]

Oh, God.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Starcraft. Yeah. With 88 votes. Under that you had Fantasy Star with 82 votes. Under that you had Sea of Stars with 58. Under that you had Sing Star with 55. And then under that you have Fame Star Online with 44.

[Gary Whitta]

StarCraft's an interesting one because again, you're looking at. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Andy Cortez]

Wait, What?

[Tim Gettys]

I demand a recount. Bless.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I see what's happening here.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Oh, shit.

[Gary Whitta]

Oh, no.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'm going. I'm going because that's Franchise. You know what? Hold on, hold on.

[Gary Whitta]

What's the problem here?

[Andy Cortez]

What?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'm going to the Google sheets.

[Tim Gettys]

Fantasy Star and Fantasy Star Online, same franchise.

[Gary Whitta]

Wait, so Fantasy Star Online was on the list? Yeah, but you have to give it. Of course.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

He's got to figure out the math.

[Gary Whitta]

I don't care if this knocks me into third place. That you should get the points for that.

[Andy Cortez]

Where was Fantasy Star at?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Well, Faint Star was.

[Tim Gettys]

And the other one was.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yeah, Phase I was in seventh place. And then Fantasy Star Online Was like

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

it would be 126points total between the two of them.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

So I just got to see what Stardew Valley was at, which I think Stardew Valley might still beat it, but

[Gary Whitta]

I think Stardew Valley was 10, wasn't it?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Why can't I find.

[Gary Whitta]

It's like if you just. If it was like war in the title and I said World of Warcraft, but he had Warcraft on the list. You would, you would have to give you that, right, wouldn't you?

[Andy Cortez]

Unless he says franchise or title. I'm. Right now I'm like the NBA players when they hit a shot and they don't know if it hit the. If it was before the buzzer or not. I'm running off.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I mean, to be clear, to be clear, Andy, this is, this is. This is like now waiting on the.

[Gary Whitta]

We're waiting on Var, but let me,

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

let me check to see what the accurate numbers here are.

[Andy Cortez]

Star.

[Tim Gettys]

Like, we don't know that actually.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

This is, this is. Yeah, he had the 50, 40 point answer and I think he gave it. I forget when you guessed Fantasy Star. I guess he did that in the first round. So Andy would still win regardless.

[Gary Whitta]

But all I still heard was that change.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Second and third, though, I would like to beat Gary. Yeah, I mean, well, we're doing.

[Gary Whitta]

By all means, I don't give a.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I just got to see how much. What was the 10 point answer that Gary got?

[Gary Whitta]

Stardew Valley.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Stardew Valley. So I just got to see how much Stardew Valley had. We're doing this live.

[Gary Whitta]

I love it. See that? Stardew Valley is a good example of too clever for its own good. Like you're gonna go, oh, I see what you did there. But most people aren't going to think that way.

[Tim Gettys]

That. That is just a good answer, Gary.

[Gary Whitta]

I mean, it's one of the biggest games ever.

[Tim Gettys]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Gary Whitta]

I always wanted to see they do Stardew Valley at Twitch Rivals. I'm like, how the. Does that even work?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I want to see it.

[Andy Cortez]

It's like a Minecraft Speedrun.

[Gary Whitta]

Okay, okay.

[Andy Cortez]

By those.

[Gary Whitta]

Is that what it is?

[Andy Cortez]

Well, no, I'm thinking. No, I. I have the same thought as you along the same lines. Like, how do you even do a.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

How do you speed run Minecraft?

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah, it's like you get quickly just kind of like get everything.

[Gary Whitta]

I mean, I imagine they give you like a specific task.

[Andy Cortez]

It's like so much RNG to get the portal correctly to get to the ender Dragon, all that. Oh.

[Gary Whitta]

But they're actually like it's killed the Ender Dragon.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

Is there an Ender Dragon equivalent in Stardew?

[Gary Whitta]

What's the. What's the world speed run record on killing the Ender Dragon?

[Andy Cortez]

I have no idea.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I need you to take 10 of Gary's points and put them onto Tim's points.

[Gary Whitta]

That's going to tie us up.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

It's going to tie you up. But that is the end.

[Andy Cortez]

You know what?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's.

[Gary Whitta]

That's the right. Everybody gets a shit.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Here's the thing.

[Tim Gettys]

I need the points because who knows what shenanigans are coming in the finale.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You know what? That's.

[Tim Gettys]

So I need as many points as possible just in case.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yes. So yes. When I combine the numbers of Fantasy Star and Fantasy Star Online, that brings us past Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley in the Google you get

[Gary Whitta]

one or the other. You don't get to total up two.

[Tim Gettys]

We're going.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

That's the point was that it was a lot of franchises.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You just argued in his favor earlier in the thing. But yeah. You're saying that Fantasy Star and F Star Online are part of the same franchise. Yeah.

[Tim Gettys]

I mean I. I even literally said both.

[Gary Whitta]

Why does it always happen inquiries and why can't it ever just go smooth be some. At the end it's like. It's like the end of Mario Party where people go ah, this game. Three stars for just doing nothing.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I thought.

[Andy Cortez]

I honestly I thought Stardew Valley should have been a 30 point answer.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I should it just better technically Stardew Valley was the sixth place answer and Fantasy Star slash Fantasy Star Online was our 10 point answer. And so Tim and Gary actually.

[Gary Whitta]

So we all tied. I love it.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Yes, you guys. I'll take it.

[Gary Whitta]

That's good. With that everyone walks away with something.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'll do another one for fun. I like how we're not stolen the show. When I go back to the first place or sorry first round prompt of name a game for known for how realistic is plan it's graphics are the for fun. The sixth place answer there would have been Cyberpunk, which I think somebody did say.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Seventh place would have been Horizon. Eighth place would have been Gran Turismo. And then under that you had gta. And then for name a blue video game character the secret answer was Bluey, which was also the six. Yeah, it was a six place. They have it.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

They have a video game.

[Gary Whitta]

I mean they do, but come on.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And then under that was at the

[Gary Whitta]

Smurfs they have a fucking video game. I almost said Navi, but I was like, you know, no one gives a fuck.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Rock from God of War was our seventh place, and then Astrobot would have been under that in eight. Eighth place.

[Gary Whitta]

Astrobot is white with blue eyes. What's wrong with your audience?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Compare.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

It was just the cadence.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

He said it, you know, White with blue eyes.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

Our final score for today tied for second place in a game that was low scoring at first, but the our contestants got there eventually. It is Gary Whitta for team blue with 140 points. And Tim Shoredes for team orange, also with 140 points.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

And our winner today, his first personal

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

win in what feels like years. It is Andy Verso Cortez with team purple with 190 pulls.

[Gary Whitta]

There's like a bonus round for, like, best costume. I think Andy wins that as well. I'm straight.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

You know what? Thank you.

[Gary Whitta]

Come on, Andy.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

I'm going to give you a tip of the hat for the.

[Gary Whitta]

You can always make an exception.

[Andy Cortez]

Yeah. Hey, anytime, Anytime, G. But those are coming first.

[Gary Whitta]

Holy wow.

[Tim Gettys]

Gary introduced me today to Skitty Skitty. I want him to get.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

That's Skitty.

[Andy Cortez]

That, like, skid mark. You love to.

[Tim Gettys]

You got a little Skitty.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

He's man. I love. I mean, I love you. I love you. Is that a man coming into this episode? Of course, Team Orange has been in the lead since last week with three stars. Of course. Team Purple came in with two stars and Team Blue with one star. Now Team Purple is tied up with Team Orange, three stars each, while Team Blue trails in last place with only one star after an unfortunate mishap because of. You know what? Forget about it.

[Andy Cortez]

Of course.

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

This has been Game Showdown, your nerdy

[Gary Whitta]

trivia show, I think behind the desk. Can we go out and do a full costume reveal for everyone?

[Blessing Adioye Jr.]

Because I feel like everyone just stand up for it.

[Gary Whitta]

I like what we look like with our full regalia.

[Andy Cortez]

Thanks for watching everybody. Man. Dude, Pleasant sword. And his old get up is so good. Oh, in front of the desk. My bad, Baird. You have to outshot the show.

[Moderator/Scorekeeper]

And here we have Andy Verso Cortez, who was in his room like yesterday just doing a bunch of crazy stuff for his costume and Tim Shreddy's, which, yeah, next to everybody, definitely looks know. But we get it. We get the vibes. We appreciate everybody for watching. And until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.

[Gary Whitta]

That was fun.
