00:00Get ready for a game changer tonight's guests doing a hand duck.
00:07It's Mike Trapp doing a hand duck.
00:10It's Grant O'Brien and doing a hand duck.
00:15It's Rekha Schoenker and your host me.
00:20I've been here the whole time.
00:23This is Game Changer, the only game show where the game
00:28changes every show.
00:30I am your host, Sam Reich.
00:32I am joined today by these three lovely contestants.
00:36You all understand how the game works.
00:38Yes. Yes, we do, Sam.
00:40As a matter of fact, because it's a game saver
00:46because in a game called Game Changer,
00:48what's more of a game changer than the game being the same?
00:52Trapp, are you ready?
00:54Yes, you have until I cut you off to sell me.
00:58A trip to Boca Raton, Florida.
01:01Fantastic.
01:02Sam, where are you from?
01:08Do you have any idea how much grief this joke has caused me?
01:14Do you have any idea how many times I have tweeted this per day?
01:19No, because you won't tell us.
01:21I mean, the question stands, Sam.
01:24And Sam, given the amount of grief that you've gotten from that,
01:27wouldn't you like to get away?
01:29Wouldn't you like for a moment pretend like you've never even left Boca Raton,
01:34Florida, like you were born and raised there?
01:37You know nothing about Cambridge, Massachusetts.
01:40You know nothing about Crumbly Square Theater.
01:43And with the trip to Boca Raton, Florida,
01:45right now, you can live the life you've always dreamed of.
01:48A trip to Boca Raton,
01:49Florida would allow me to forget my past, start anew.
01:52I mean, isn't a vacation just a chance
01:54to pretend like you live a life that you don't normally live in your day to day?
01:58Does it Boca Raton mean rat mouth?
02:01You have to cite that source because that can't be true.
02:04Because Boca means mouth and Raton is like a rat or a mouse.
02:08I'll give you a point for that,
02:10if only because it's given me something new to respond to people with.
02:15Mr. O'Brien.
02:16Mr. Reich.
02:17Love having you on the show.
02:18I love being on the show.
02:19Hey, of the three of us, would you say that I'm your favorite?
02:23Grant, you have until I cut you off
02:25to sell me a theme park that's just lines, Sam.
02:32First of all, where are you from?
02:34I am I'm so tempted to say Boca Raton, Florida.
02:38I am from Cambridge, Massachusetts, home of the no sports team,
02:45but very close to Six Flags, New England,
02:48one of the many parks in the Six Flags chain.
02:50Now, I won't lie to you, Sam.
02:52I'm something of a theme park expert.
02:54Isn't it great fun to be in line for one of America's greatest roller coasters
03:01and watching a video on the history of that roller coaster while you're in line?
03:05Sam, there's history about all of these
03:08works of art, really, is how I think about roller coasters.
03:11What's your favorite roller coaster?
03:12I'll tell you a little bit about the history.
03:13The Anaconda.
03:15Now, so the Anaconda is a very is a very interesting example.
03:19The Anaconda is one of aerodynamics roller coasters.
03:23And in the 80s, aerodynamics was probably
03:25the premier manufacturer in the United States because of just frankly,
03:30when they started building, they weren't designing with computer aided design.
03:34They were designing things by hand.
03:35Don't order a trap.
03:37I see you want to jump in here.
03:38Question. I have a question.
03:40Yeah. Is it typically a good sales tactic to bore someone to death?
03:45Is this what you want?
03:49You know what, though?
03:50Trap. I think, Grant, this was personal enough to you.
03:55And there was a glimmering moment there
03:57where you inspire me to learn more about roller coasters.
04:01Is it true that the Anaconda don't want nuns unless you've got buns on?
04:08She could do side bends or sit ups, but please don't lose that butt.
04:12Sure. Yeah.
04:13How many side bends are in there?
04:15Kill me.
04:20I'm going to give you two points
04:22given just how personal and informed that response was.
04:27Rekha, you have until I cut you off to sell me.
04:31Passive aggression certification class.
04:35Sam, where are you from?
04:37And aren't you tired of explaining it?
04:43Here's what I learned in this class.
04:44One of the advanced techniques you learn is you start to type something.
04:47So they see an ellipsis, but then you stop.
04:50You just look so frustrated.
04:52If you want to just go like beginner level, you could do like a little like sigh.
04:59Sighs great.
05:00And your final exam, you just get to ignore everyone you don't like.
05:04And isn't that nice?
05:05You know, just like Grant made this prompt personal to him.
05:09You've made this personal to me.
05:11Two points for you, Rekha.
05:12Yeah, good job, Rekha.
05:14Maybe somebody who had a little more integrity would give me a three.
05:18Maybe.
05:19That is so passive aggressive.
05:22I will give you the three points.
05:23I'm outraged.
05:28Mr. Trapp, you have until I cut you off to sell me.
05:33A used condiment from your fridge specifically.
05:38Very good.
05:39A used condom from his fridge?
05:43Yeah.
05:47So dry and crumbly, just like it's like crumbly square.
05:53Oh, it is back.
05:56Sam, I have here lovingly made.
06:00Preserved lemons, these
06:03are preserved lemons that you can use for making a tagine.
06:07And you are just a few steps away from a delicious lemon Parmesan.
06:11Perhaps one of the best dishes ever created, as we proved last time.
06:16I see a number of questions from Peanut Gallery.
06:19Can you take a bite?
06:23Maybe if I can open this.
06:24It's been in my fridge a long time.
06:29Oh,
06:33it's salty, it's lemony,
06:36is designed to be mixed in with other foods and not eaten on its own.
06:40Would you take a much, much, much bigger bite?
06:43Maybe a slurp.
06:46Is that maybe?
06:48Oh, that's slimy.
06:49That's a weird machine.
06:51It's kind of like having a lemonade, but instead of sugar, you put salt in there.
06:58True story, I did drop off lemon marmalade.
07:02That's what I thought that was.
07:04That's what I thought that was, too.
07:05I thought he was bringing my gift onto the show.
07:08Trap, I will give you two points for the callback to lemon Parmesan.
07:14Grant, you have until I cut you off to sell me a bounce on daddy's knee.
07:22We've known each other for a little while now, Sam.
07:25Where do you imagine I'm going to take this?
07:28Oh, you have to know, Grant,
07:30that I craft these episodes very lovingly with my cast members in mind.
07:34OK, well, I'm going to start by pointing something out.
07:37The photograph of the gentleman in the suit where it cuts off.
07:42Sam looks a lot like where your picture cuts off of you.
07:46And that turn the other way for us, please.
07:48Oh, turn the other way. Turn the other way.
07:50Uh huh. It's daddy.
07:52I had a tough day today.
07:56Right.
07:57Can I can I sit down for just a minute right in your lap, daddy?
08:01I'm suddenly painfully aware of how we don't have an HR department anymore.
08:05Daddy, daddy, can I can I sit down on your lap just a little bit, please?
08:09Please.
08:11Oh, it's so warm and secure, daddy.
08:14So good.
08:15I'm just going to bounce for a second.
08:17Just that that rhythm makes me feel so safe and comfortable here.
08:20Daddy, what's that?
08:23Daddy, mine's never done that before.
08:26Oh, my God.
08:29Mine's never done that.
08:31Does it?
08:32It's never had an erection.
08:34Grant, that felt to me a little bit more
08:37like a pornographic voiceover than a commercial.
08:42I'm afraid only one point.
08:44Rekha, you have until I cut you off to sell me animal pun summer camp.
08:53Have you ever wanted to go to a summer camp, maybe in Cambridge, Massa, whatever?
08:58I believe you'd have some good tales to tell.
09:03You'd have a whale of a time.
09:06And I'm not lying about that.
09:09I'm not trying to be a cheetah here,
09:12but I got to say, I'm going to make a bull beaver out of you.
09:19OK, I will cut you off with that dangerously good pun.
09:24That's three points for you.
09:27Players, it's time for our first minigame.
09:30The scores headed into that minigame are Trap with three points,
09:34Grant O'Brien with three, Rekha with six.
09:36Players, I am still looking for the perfect Game Changer logo.
09:43So I've created a whole new batch of them.
09:45I'm hoping you can help advise me
09:48whether or not these are problematic for any reason.
09:52Players, what do you think about this logo?
09:56That is going to be Rekha first.
09:58You can't use that. That's Starbucks.
10:01You know what? Now that I look at it.
10:03With you in the middle.
10:05Kind of like this.
10:06Whoa.
10:07Yeah, I'm seeing double.
10:09Players, what do you think about this logo?
10:13That is Trap.
10:15Sam, the problem here is that that is the GameCube logo.
10:19No, I am so trapped.
10:21I don't believe it is.
10:23Rekha, you're number two.
10:25Is it because it's a Nintendo 64 logo?
10:28It is the Nintendo 64 logo.
10:31Well done.
10:33Grant, beat my ass.
10:34I didn't know it.
10:35Fucking bullshit.
10:36This is all fucking bullshit.
10:38Players, what do you think about this logo?
10:43Sam, that is the Hot Wheels logo.
10:45It's the Hot Wheels leading the way.
10:47That is right.
10:49This is too much like the Hot Wheels logo.
10:51What do you think about this logo?
10:54That is Mike Trap again.
10:57Grant, I'm sorry.
10:59I'd like to know. Tell me.
11:00That is the Bic logo for Bic pens.
11:02Let's just take a moment to appreciate
11:04the little me with the microphone behind me and the mustache.
11:08What do you think about this logo?
11:11That is Grant.
11:13Son of a bitch.
11:14OK, I'm going to I think I have this.
11:17That's too similar to the TiVo logo.
11:19It is too similar to the TiVo logo.
11:23Gamper.
11:24Players, what do you think about this logo?
11:27That is Trap again.
11:29What the fuck?
11:30That's far too similar to the KFC logo.
11:32You are no Colonel Sanders.
11:34You are Sam Raich.
11:35This is too similar to the KFC logo.
11:38What do you think about this logo?
11:42That's Trap.
11:44I'm going to say that this is Chanel.
11:48Good guess, Trap.
11:50It is not Chanel.
11:51Next on the list is Grant.
11:54That's Gucci, baby.
11:55It is Gucci.
11:57What do you think about this logo?
12:00Mike Trap.
12:01That's too close to the Intel logo.
12:03It is too close to the Intel logo.
12:07What do you think about this logo?
12:11Rekha.
12:12You can't use this because this is the London Underground, like the tube.
12:16It is the London Underground.
12:19Well done, Rekha.
12:21What do you think about this logo?
12:23Ooh, Grant.
12:25No.
12:26Sam, you can't use that.
12:28That's too close to the Ikea logo.
12:30It is too close to the Ikea logo.
12:32That's impressive, Grant.
12:33I'm an impressive man.
12:35I have lots of things that are going well for me.
12:38No, you don't.
12:41And nothing's more impressive than someone intimately knowing the Ikea logo.
12:46You can tell exactly how great my life
12:48is going, where it's like I don't recognize Gucci or anything outside
12:52another country, but I know KFC and Ikea.
12:56What do you think about this logo?
12:59I'm going to say the Heineken logo.
13:03It is not too close to the Heineken logo.
13:06Next up is Grant.
13:09I think it's too close to the Miller logo.
13:11No, Rekha.
13:13I was going to guess medieval times.
13:16That is a really good guess, Rekha, but it is not medieval times.
13:20OK, I'll tell you.
13:21This is Firestone.
13:23Firestone!
13:25Oh, my God, fuck me!
13:27Players, what do you think about this logo?
13:32Mr. Trapp.
13:33That's too close to the Fruit of the Looms logo.
13:35It is too close to the Fruit of the Looms.
13:38That's very cute.
13:40Moving on to round three, the points as we do.
13:44Mike Trapp with eight points.
13:47Grant O'Brien with six, Rekha with nine.
13:50Players, forget the world of print advertising.
13:53Let's leave that behind because you are performers.
13:57I want you to channel your best commercial voiceover where I am going to play a series
14:05of stock videos and you are going to tell me what they are supposed to be advertising.
14:10Gotcha. Mr. Trapp.
14:13If you're like most Americans, you're from Cambridge, Massachusetts,
14:18and you love raising your child there by the beautiful Massachusetts Sea.
14:24Here, your baby,
14:27a baby that will grow and wear those same stripes to be something that he could be,
14:33something bigger than himself.
14:35If you want to raise a game show host, you'll have to buy game show host hats.
14:42Game show host hats.
14:44The only hat that protects your head from the cold,
14:47biting wind that will freeze your brain.
14:50Game show host hats.
14:53This video is tragic.
14:55It looks like she's about to throw the baby.
14:58That baby was born at prom and she is unsure of what to do.
15:04I will give you a point for that, Trapp.
15:07Mr. O'Brien, you ready?
15:08I couldn't be more ready if I tried.
15:13Hi, I'm John Michaelson.
15:19I'm Mrs. Michaelson.
15:21You can call me Betty,
15:23but I like to go by Mrs. Michaelson because I'm my husband's wife.
15:27Oh, I better pull these pants right up into myself.
15:31I better really hike them straight up in there.
15:35Well, Betty, I'll tell you something about my phone.
15:38I got a picture of you right here pulling those pants up.
15:41Hi, hi, look at yourself in that picture.
15:44Hey, hey, get in these arms, Betty.
15:47I love you.
15:48I love you.
15:50Yeah, fall asleep right there.
15:52Anyway, I'm going to throw you into the ocean.
15:59You went for a play-by-play dub instead of a voiceover?
16:05What on earth were you advertising?
16:08Aerodynamics roller coasters.
16:10If I were to give you another go at it,
16:13could you do a commercial voiceover for something?
16:15Yes.
16:17Hi, I'm John Michaelson, and I love dub soap.
16:23Hi, Mrs. Michaelson.
16:26I also love dub soap.
16:31I love it, I love it.
16:32I'm glad I washed with dub soap earlier today.
16:36Hey, look at this.
16:37There's a picture of dub soap on the phone.
16:39Yeah, look at that soap.
16:41Hi, soap.
16:42Oh, look how clean our hands are from dub soap.
16:45Yeah, get in there and smell me.
16:47Hi, aerodynamics roller coasters.
16:53Wow, zero points.
16:55This is an outrage.
16:56That would have been a fantastic commercial.
16:59Oh, my God.
17:00Didn't change your strategy at all.
17:02Oh, my God, I want to piss myself.
17:05Rekha, can you pull us out of this sinkhole?
17:09These buffalo are dying.
17:12They can't find water.
17:14They can't find food.
17:16And do you know why?
17:18Organizations like the World Wildlife
17:22Foundation don't receive the funding they need.
17:25So little deer like Charlie here don't have a home.
17:29These deer haven't eaten for days.
17:32This fluffy cow is on its last legs.
17:38You see, it can't stand anymore.
17:41So please, with your donation to the World Wildlife Federation,
17:46a lamb like this, clearly tired, can finally get the nourishment it needs
17:51before Charlie has to kill himself in the ravine.
17:55Really well done.
17:58I like that a lot.
18:00Three points for you.
18:01I think it makes you want to donate, right?
18:03Why couldn't I hear what any of those
18:05animals were saying to each other in your commercial?
18:07Oh, sorry, sorry.
18:09One talk is muted.
18:10Here's what they were saying.
18:11I'm on my last legs.
18:18Please donate to the World Wildlife Federation and remember to buy dove soap.
18:25Trapp, you ready? Yes.
18:28Power, independence,
18:32strength.
18:34None of these have anything to do
18:36with Buick dashboards,
18:39the dashboards that uplight your face when you're sad in the rain.
18:44If you need to lean into a mood, has your girlfriend just left you?
18:48Have you lost a job?
18:50Are you struggling under the constant news of a worldwide pandemic?
18:55Then Buick uplift dashboards will give you the sad mood you need to get through
19:01the day. Buick uplift dashboards, cry me a river.
19:06Oh, Trapp, succinct, bringing it all together at the end
19:10with a tagline, three points for you.
19:13Trapp, you have an opportunity to turn this all around.
19:16Here and now.
19:19I'm driving, I like it.
19:22Oh, it's an alien, whoa.
19:25I wonder what they're going to have for me.
19:28Is it dove soap?
19:29If aliens don't have hands, how do they wash?
19:32Well, I better go up there and find out.
19:34Hey, here I go.
19:42Appreciate the commitment to the BitGrant.
19:43No points for you.
19:47Rekha, last one.
19:50Are you tired of filthy tubs when you're trying to relax?
19:55Just anything to get your mind off of filthy tub, music, anything.
20:01Subscribe to Spotify Premium.
20:05You can take your mind off the filthiest aspects of your house.
20:08If you can't elevate your living
20:10situation, why not elevate your oral situation?
20:14Listen to your favorite 90s playlist while you soak in a pile of your own filth.
20:21Discover new world music as you bathe in water that looks like blood.
20:27Spotify Premium on sale today.
20:31Rekha, well done.
20:33I imagine that Spotify will be very grateful for the free branded content.
20:39I'm going to say two points for you.
20:44Yeah, again,
20:47right. Like
20:48literally like so many clips from this one sequence of woman bathing in blood.
20:54That was blood.
20:55OK, it'd be a great commercial for Dove Soap.
20:57I should have made it for Dove Soap.
20:59Love the blood you're in.
21:01Players, it's time for our final round.
21:03The points headed into that round.
21:05Trap with 12, Grant with six, Rekha with 14.
21:10Players, I'm still looking for the perfect tagline for game changer.
21:18I feel.
21:21Sam, you're muted. Your audio has cut off.
21:23Sorry, can you hear me now?
21:25Yes.
21:29Rekha.
21:30Variety.
21:31Yes, you got it right.
21:37Video conferencing, it's just the worst, you know, and quarantine.
21:41God, it's driving me insane.
21:43You know, sometimes you just feel like a nut.
21:46Grant.
21:47Almond Joy and Mounds.
21:49I can't say two answers, but I believe it is.
21:52It's Almond Joy and Mounds.
21:53It's the same commercial.
21:54You know, how is quarantine so difficult?
21:58How is social distancing so difficult?
22:00Like, all we're doing is staying home,
22:02eating food, watching TV, reading all the news that's fit to print.
22:07Sam, you're using the tagline of the paper of record, the New York Times.
22:11It is New York Times.
22:12I mean, social distancing, right?
22:14It's so easy.
22:16Rekha.
22:17Staples.
22:18Nope.
22:20Trap. So easy a caveman could do it.
22:22Yes, you got it.
22:24That was stupid.
22:26I think that it's just like this, this thing.
22:29It just keeps going and going.
22:31Rekha.
22:33Damn it.
22:34Energizer battery.
22:35You can't use that. It's Energizer.
22:37You can't use that, Sam.
22:39That'd be a bad idea to use that.
22:41That's a point for Rekha.
22:43It's worth saying.
22:44I mean, my version of quarantine is a privileged one.
22:48It's like, you know, food, TV, a nice hot bath.
22:53Yeah, we've got that.
22:55Grant.
22:56Staples.
22:57Staples is right. But, you know, numbing as this all is,
23:01I can't believe that they're opening stuff up again all around us.
23:07You know, it's like, have it your way.
23:09Trap.
23:10No!
23:11Damn it's horse shit.
23:12Burger King. That is right.
23:14But in Los Angeles, where these numbers continue to grow every day,
23:19they've given the green light for Hollywood to return back to work.
23:22It's like, give me a break.
23:24Break up.
23:25Give me a break. Give me a break.
23:27Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.
23:29Whatever you want, whatever you need.
23:31Game changer.
23:34The virus hasn't gone anywhere.
23:35You can't just like start going to your favorite restaurant or bar or store.
23:42The virus is everywhere.
23:44It's everywhere you want to be.
23:46Grant. American Express.
23:49It is not American Express.
23:50Trap.
23:51Visa.
23:52That is correct.
23:54And sure, I mean, you know, masks keep us protected to an extent.
24:00I mean, if I have to go outside for any reason, I wear my mask religiously.
24:05I don't leave home without it.
24:06Trap.
24:07That's American Express.
24:09That is American.
24:10I can't believe that just happened.
24:13That is so upsetting.
24:14But even masks aren't 100 percent effective.
24:18And when it comes to like the opening up of stuff around us, it's our local
24:21government we're talking about.
24:23I mean, it really makes you wonder, are you in good hands?
24:27Grant. Allstate.
24:28Allstate is correct.
24:30Well done.
24:32I think we've got it right.
24:34You know, those of us who are maintaining
24:37social distancing, like we are helping to prevent a second wave.
24:41The few, the proud.
24:44Grant. The Marines.
24:46That is correct.
24:49And that is our game.
24:52Sam, I can't help but notice that in that last game, you didn't include like one
24:56of the most recognizable taglines of all time, which is where are these aliens here?
25:01I hate that term.
25:04What is that? I hope it's Dove soap.
25:08We all do. We all go for that.
25:11I hope it's Dove soap is actually a really funny tagline.
25:16The points at the end of our game.
25:20Trap with 16, Grant with 11, Rekha with 17.
25:25Edging out the competition by a single point.
25:29Thank you. Rekha, your prize is, once you feel
25:33comfortable doing so, a glamping experience at Yellowstone National Park.
25:39I will take someone with a car.
25:42I hope you enjoy.
25:44Outrageous.
25:47That is it for us here at Game Changer.
25:49I'm 100 percent Sam Reich with no artificial ingredients.
25:54Good.
