- Get ready for a Game Changer.
Tonight's guests: all time Game Changer champion,
Brennan Lee Mulligan.
- Hello.
- All time Game Changer participant, it's Zac Oyama.
- That is correct.
- And all time Game Changer fan,
it's Ally Beardsley.
- I am a fan.
This is a great show.
- And your host, me.
I've been here the whole time.
This is Game Changer, the only game show
where the game changes every show.
I'm your host Sam Reich.
I'm joined today by these three lovely contestants.
Now, you all understand how the game works.
- No.
- No, the rules have not been explained.
- That's right.
Our contestants have no idea what game
is it they're about to play.
The only way to learn is by playing.
- The only way to win is by learning,
and the only way to begin is by beginning.
So without further ado, let's begin.
Players, we're going to play a game called, "Yes or No."
The question every round is merely, "Yes or no,"
and you will win points based on whether
you are correct or incorrect in that round.
Each of you will have one opportunity throughout this game
to take me backstage and to tell me
what you think the rule is.
If you are right, you win
and if you are wrong, you lose.
One chance whenever you want, you say so.
Are you ready?
- Ready.
- Yeah, yeah I'm ready.
- Your first question is:
yes or no?
Brennan.
- Yes.
- Zac.
- There's not like a, it's just...
You don't play a sound effect or anything?
- We're in the data collection portion of the game.
- Yeah we are.
- Yes.
- Zac, oh that's a yes.
- I'll say yes.
- No, just for data.
- That is a no for Ally.
- The answer to this particular question is no.
- That's a point for Ally Beardsley.
- All right.
- Moving on to question two.
- Yes or...
no?
- I recommend that we keep our answers the same
for this question to see if the questions change.
Because if we change our answers and it comes back
with a different result...
- So have some sort of control group?
- Have a control group, and in this instance
we can't control the question,
but we can control our answers.
- Okay.
- We know nothing about the question, though.
- If we right now go "Yes, yes, no," again,
and then Sam says, "the correct answer is yes,"
we will know that these are not senseless repetitions.
- Or they could each be different.
- Are you timing how long we talk about it
in between questions?
- If only because there's a wrap time.
- All right, I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.
- It's a yes from Brennan.
- I'm going to say yes?
- And I'm going to say no.
- What?
- Yeah, it's the exact same answers.
- Oh, oh I thought-
- The same answers we gave last time.
- I thought you said everyone say yes this time.
I wasn't paying attention.
God, I'm not good.
- That was a yes, and a yes, and a no.
The answer in this case is no.
That is another point for Ally Beardsley.
- I like this control group.
- Do we wanna do all three yes's to this next one?
- I mean does it change at all?
Now I'm looking more at the question.
- Let's hear how he asks it again.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Ready, gang?
- There's just so much it could be.
- yes or no?
- I say yes.
- Just blank.
It's just blank up there, but it looks like I'm thinking.
- A vast wasteland in Zac Oyama's mind.
- Tumbleweeds - Nothing's happening.
- A colorful unicorn skips across a desert plain.
- It's white.
It's just a white-
- Just a regular horse.
Did you say yes?
- I did say yes.
I said yes.
- Then I'm gonna say no.
- I'm also gonna say no.
Is it this simple?
- The answer in that particular case was no.
That's a point for Zac and a point for Ally.
- There he is.
Of course you need that.
- Non.
- British and now French.
- Might have been Australian.
- Well British and now mime.
- No.
- Non.
- Three no's.
Across the board.
A non, a non, and a non.
And yet the answer in this case was yes.
That is no points for this particular round.
- Okay, okay.
- Do we wanna see what happens if we all
give it a yes on the next one?
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Because it's not no every time.
- Yeah, that would have been way too easy,
but I just wanted to rack up some points with that theory.
- Rule it out, yeah.
- Players, the question is:
yes...
Or no?
- You just flash us.
- I will answer yes.
- Yes.
- Three yes's across the board.
Yes's as far as the eye can see.
And yet not the answer to this particular question.
Don't worry, gang, we're at the beginning.
I'm sure as we go...
- Great.
- So the first one was a regular yes or no.
- He's saying something different
before every question, too.
It's like "okay, guys," or it's
"the next question, y'all," or...
- Did you already ask one?
- No.
- Oh, okay.
- But I'm about to.
- Does that count?
- Ready, yes or no?
Yes or no?
Yes or No?
- You guys are having a real good time
making chumps out of us.
- It's a pretty good time.
- I'm gonna go no.
- I'll say no as well.
- I'm gonna say yes.
Because I don't know what's happening.
The answer in that particular case
is yes.
That's a point.
- Does it for Zac Oyama.
- All right, what do we got?
- Zero.
Two.
And three.
Both times that we've done all three
it's been the other one, correct?
- Yes.
So maybe, there are only two points
available to be given out per question.
- Listen closely players.
- Can you tell us why you would do this to us?
- I feel like I almost have it.
- No, you don't.
- You almost have it?
What does that mean?
- I have a couple cooking theories.
Let me give 'em a stir.
- I'm blank as hell in my brain.
- Okay, Brennan.
- Yes.
- That's a yes from you.
- Yes.
- A yes from Zac.
- No.
- A no from Ally.
The answer in this case is no.
Ally wins the point.
- Okay.
- Ally, if you're getting it already,
I am going to be amazed.
- Why do I play these games?
Why do I play?
- For this question, I'll need the help of Ash.
Ash?
- You did it opposite style.
- That's my brother.
- Yes.
- It is yes.
- No.
- Yes.
- No.
That is a point for Zac Oyama.
- What?
- Because it was opposite style?
- And not for Ally or Brennan.
- I won't be made a fool.
Have we done one...
We've done Zac votes differently than you and I,
and we've done that Ally votes differently than you and I.
Have we done one...
- Where you vote differently?
- Where I vote differently from you two?
- From the two of us? - Let's do it.
- Cool.
- Cause I, yeah.
- Cool.
- I'm thinking maybe that has more to do with it.
- Yeah.
- Our sequencing.
- Yeah, the sequencing of it all.
- Gang, it's one of my favorite times of the show.
It's time for a celebrity video question.
- Yee-haw, it's Jewel on the Murray ranch in Texas.
- What?
Yes or no?
- You heard Jewel.
- Wait, was that actually Jewel?
- You heard actual Jewel.
- Play that again, please.
- You wanna see that one more time?
- Absolutely.
- Yee-haw, it's Jewel on the Murray Ranch in Texas.
Yes or no?
- I'm so glad that she has horses,
she lived in a car for a long time.
- From living in your car to owning a ranch.
That's America, honey.
- She's an American song-writing treasure.
- I could sit here and watch that over and over again.
- I won't lie, I've watched it ten times.
- Oh my god.
Wait, I'm not joking.
Jewel means so much to me.
- Jewel is incredible.
Jewel is incredible.
- I could actually cry right now.
Okay, I need to pull it together.
- I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.
- It's a yes from Brennan.
- I'm gonna say yes.
- Wait.
- Why?
Can I change it?
- Sure.
- No.
- You're gonna say no?
- No.
The answer in this particular case is no.
- Can I solve it?
- Can you solve the game?
- Can I solve the game?
- Zac, let's go.
- This is a fucking nightmare.
- Ladies, and gentlemen, Zac Oyama, winner.
- What?
- A winner, a winner of yes or no.
Let's see where we get.
- Oh, it's not over?
- Oh no, not at all.
- Not at all.
All three of you will have an opportunity.
- You know what, that was a real Jewel moment.
To go from so far on the bottom to so far on top.
- Who's the participant now?
- Next question.
Wish me luck, guys.
It's been along time since summer camp.
This is a diablo, Im sure some of you have seen this before.
I think it's the only form of juggling that's like
nerdier than actual juggling.
- It's like a yo-yo.
- It is kind of like a yo-yo.
I think that's another name for it as a matter of fact.
- Is this...
This is crazy.
- It's yes or no.
- Can I play with that later?
- Yeah, totally.
- Okay.
- The answer is yes.
- I will also say yes.
- You will also say yes.
- I will also say yes.
- Three yes's.
All of them incorrect.
The answer was no.
There are no points awarded this round.
- I don't care.
- Players, your next question is something
I'll need a little help from Ash with.
Ash, you can come on out.
- How we feel?
How we feel about this?
- A lot of power.
- Yeah, thanks.
Feels good.
- This question started with "players."
- Yes or no?
- No.
- Yes.
- It's yes.
That's points for Zac and Ally.
- For this next question, I am going to need
the assistance of Kayla.
Kayla.
- Hi.
- Players, please say hi to Kayla.
- Hello.
- Thank you so much, Kayla.
Thank you.
Yes or no?
- No.
- Yes.
- The answer is no.
- You guys wanna hold the crown?
- It hurts so bad.
- This is mine.
- I know it.
- Ally.
- I think, yeah.
- I'm gonna see what Ally thinks.
- Oh, this is a full blown conspiracy.
Call Robert Mueller.
Call James Comey.
Call the Hague.
Call former CIA director John Brennan.
Okay, this is a full blown criminal conspiracy.
Your elected representatives are in on it.
God, I hate this.
If Ally walks out of there with a crown, I'm gonna lose it.
- Ally Beardsley.
- Okay.
- Okay, everyone's having a good time.
- It was not simple.
I'll tell you that.
It was elaborate.
- For this next question, I am going
to need the help of Ash.
Ash would you come out here, please?
The question is:
Yes or no?
- Is that you?
- It is me, I will have you know,
and I don't know how to feel about this,
that these are modified Bill Clinton bobble heads.
Apparently that's as close as you can get to me
in the bobble head library.
- I do feel like I'm in a nightmare.
- The answer is, I'll say...
What did you guys say last time?
- Last time?
- Yeah.
- Either no or yes.
- I know that the answer to this one is yes.
- You know that the answer to this one is yes.
Fascinating.
Then I will say yes.
- Zac?
- It's yes.
- Ally?
- It's yes.
- It's no.
Sorry, gang, no points that round.
So you're telling me Ally's got a crown
on their head and guessed wrong?
- I can't speak to Ally's strategy.
- We got somebody with a crown on their head
that can't even play the game.
- That was an honest mistake.
I think I got my math off.
- And sometimes I play just a little different.
- I'll get this one right, I will.
- It's hard to hold this much anger in my body.
I think you get crowns whether you guess right or not.
- Nope.
- Then why?
- Because you told me I was right, right?
- Then why did you get the question wrong, Beardsley?
- If you knew the game then why
did you get the question wrong?
- I misheard something.
- It stinks from top to bottom, gang.
If you never hear from me again, you know what to do.
Get in the comments, okay?
If they don't find me, it's because
I was chopped up and fed to the pigs.
- Are we ready?
Are we ready?
- For this next and final question,
I am going to ask for the assistance of Aperture.
Aperture.
- Oh.
- Aperture, ladies and gentlemen.
- What wonderful singing, thank you so much
for being a part of our bullshit universe.
Yeah you can leave the stage now, thanks very much.
- That was beautiful.
- There was no cause for involving
those sweet young people in this madness.
- Yes or no?
Brennan?
- I know what's going on here.
I know what's going on here.
Okay.
I do.
- Do you?
- And if you want me to wander backstage to spill the beans.
- I mean there's really no need for us to do that because...
- It's the final question, right?
- These other two are in the loop, so.
- They're in the loop.
I am the only one out of the loop it would seem.
And if we check my point total here.
I don't need to walk to the front,
because I know what it is.
It's a big ol' goose egg, gang.
It's a fat zero.
Hello, a little late addition
to the numerical symbol chart,
brought to us from our friends in Arabia,
little bit of trivia that I happen to know
about the history of numbers.
That kind of little tid bit would serve me well
in most trivia games, unless it had been
rigged from the beginning.
- Whoa, dude.
- Oh, I've only just begun to pull the thread
on this sweater, friends.
You would think in a game where there are only
two possible correct choices, that one would
stumble into the right answer every so often, wouldn't you?
In fact, the probability of never guessing right
in the full game is a statistical wonder,
and yet here we are.
Introduced at the top of the game as a champion,
what do you think that means?
Icarus flying too close to the sun,
but it seems Daedalus, our little mastercrafter
over here had some wax wings of his own, didn't he?
Wanted to see his son fall.
Fall from the sky.
Oh, how close to the sun he flew.
Well, I'm not having it.
I've solved your labyrinth, puzzle-master.
The Minotaur's escaped and
you're gonna get the horns, buddy.
- Okay, did we think we were in on it
but actually Brennan is the only one in on it
and that was rehearsed?
- That was an incredible monologue.
Brennan, what is the rule of the game?
- I cannot win.
- That is correct, Brennan.
You cannot win the game.
- Did we all get crowns?
- We only got two.
- Goddamn it.
- Because you've guessed correctly, you've won.
As a reward to you, we're giving you a spa day for two
in order so that you can de-stress
from this awful, awful experience.
That's it for us here at Game Changer.
I'm Sam Reich reminding you that if it seems
like everyone is out to get you, they just might be.
Good night.
