- Get ready for a Game Changer.
Tonight guests: a Twitch for 400 it's Ify Nwadiwe.
- Hey.
- Role playing games for 800
its Brennan Lee Mulligan,
- I'm alive.
- And 1988's big business
for a thousand it's Ally Beardsley.
- Good morning oh, I spilled everywhere.
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 am your host, Sam Reich.
I'm joined today by these three lovely contestants now.
You understand how the game works?
- Sorry we actually don't there's no,
you haven't given any rules.
- That's kinda the whole point.
- That's right our contestants have no idea what game it is.
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.
I'm not gonna lie.
I straight up phoned this one in.
Today we're just going to play some jeopardy.
- You're telling me right now,
we're about to play jeopardy against Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire's own Brennan Lee Mulligan.
- Categories are red herrings, video games,
Shakespeare, theme parks, Italy, and the 80s.
Brennan I'm going to start with you.
- Fantastic thank you, Alex.
Let's go Shakespeare for 800.
- Brennan, you set sail for Shakespeare at 800.
- There was a little boat sailing
across the Jeopardy screen.
- Ify your move.
- I'm going to go the 80s for 800.
Ify you set sail for the 80s at 800 Ally.
- I'm going to go for It-aly for 800
- You set sail for Italy at 800, Brennan.
that's back to you again.
- I will also set sail for Italy at 800.
- Oh, I'm sorry Brennan.
That move is not available to you.
- Fantastic I was hoping for such an answer.
I've discovered more about the nature of the game
and am thus closer to winning.
- Ify I'll move on to you,
I will move to Italy for 800
- Italy for 800 Ally its your go.
- Oh, good I thought I was about to get sunk.
I will move to Theme Parks for 800.
- Theme parks for 800 and Brennan.
- So it seems that we've discovered some parameters.
Thus far only orthogonal moves one square at a time
are allowed that's right orthogonal baby.
- All of a sudden you have a pipe
- helmsmen let's make a course due East
theme parks for 800.
- Theme Parks for 800.
- Captain Beardsley ahoy.
- Welcome aboard.
- You find yourself each at the helm of a ship,
adrift on a dark and foreboding sea.
Despite the undulation of the waves
all is eerily still.
A thick fog permeates the air as well as your minds.
For the life of you.
You cannot remember who you are or how you ended up here.
All you can remember is a grab bag
of general knowledge trivia.
I believe Ify that is your move again,
- The 80s for 800.
Alright yeah, the 80s were a good time.
- Ally that's you.
- I'm gonna go Italy for 800.
- Brennan you look down off the deck of your ship
and you discover a rowboat lapping calmly at the waves,
a rowboat that seems to belong to an old pirate,
- I would like to address this pirate and say,
I know not your face.
But I fear that that don't mean much as I barely recognize
my own tell me traveler, do you know who I am?
- Oh, I'm afraid.
There's very little memory or knowledge left anymore.
On the Jeopardian seas
here knowledge, it is like treasure.
It is our most valuable resource
we where ones rich with knowledge
but then a terrible sea serpent plunged us into darkness.
- I've two questions for you pirate.
Number one, where be this sea serpent?
- Oh, should I answer that,
I see I thought I'd get both questions and then answer both
- No cause the answer to this question
may affect question number two.
- Unfortunately for all of us
wait long enough in the serpent will find you.
They say up is down and left is right endings are beginnings
and beginnings are endings questions are answers
and answers are questions and such will be the case
until the serpent is destroyed.
Things are other things, those things,
the first thing you get it.
It's like a whole upside down rigamaroll.
- Question the second me heartie.
How may one reach
the answers at the bottom of these patches
of wide open sea?
- Oh, you seek answers, do you?
- Aye
- And yet you should seek questions.
As I lay here at night, staring longingly at the full moon,
an answer haunts my soul.
An answer to a question I've long forgotten.
- Give me your answer traveler.
And I shall give you your question.
- The pirate leans forward, excited and trembling.
- I gaze up at the sun setting on the horizon
lay a weathered hand on the gunnel of my ship,
gaze at this pirate and say what be Pirates
of the Caribbean matey.
- That's right my child and just like Pirates
of the Caribbean is a ride underground.
So I've heard I've never been. So too,
is there a secret city on the Jeopardian Seas.
All one must do, is be swallowed up by it.
And with that she rows cackling away
giddy with her newfound knowledge, Ify.
- Thinking it's time to go down
to the 80s for a 1200.
- You, Ify stumble upon a stone statue
of the God Poseiden
- I'll touch it I wanna touch the statue.
- You touch the statue, it's smooth to the touch.
It's cool as you lay your hand upon it, you think,
and you're not sure if it's a trick of your mind that you
can almost feel a heartbeat coming from inside.
- I try and talk to the statute and say,
what can I do to free you?
- Very faintly you hear
- And with that, we will move on Ally the next move
is yours.
- I am going to go the 80s for 800.
- And we are back to Brennan.
- I will set sail South for theme parks for 1200.
And back to Ify.
- Go to Italy for 1200.
- Italy for 1200 Ally it's all you.
- I will go to Italy for 800.
- It-aly for 800 Brennan.
- Oh, shocking.
- Keep her steady as she goes helmsmen.
Theme parks for 1600.
- Theme parks for 1600.
- Look at you all trying to be sneaky and steal
what are ya'll, some type of pirates?
- Ify.
Unfortunately, y'all got the best pirate of all right here.
- Oh shit.
- Let's go down to 1600.
- 1600, you hear singing
- Oh no.
Two beautiful looking sirens.
On the rocks, singing a captivating song.
And this beautiful singing lures you up onto the rocks where
you find yourself stranded just as
a sea serpent.
Oh no.
- appears in our game.
Ally the move is yours.
- I'm not scared I'm gonna go to It-aly for 400.
- Captains ye be mad!
The serpent's gonna eat you alive.
- Brennan
- Let's keep her headed South theme parks for 2000.
- You're not gonna try to come save me okay.
I see, I see you Brennan.
- Three turns of paralysis,
the sea serpent is going to take an attack of opportunity
on Ally. Ally, your ship is no match for the might
of this sea serpent.
The serpent swallows you whole and yet,
as you are traveling through its digestive tract,
you are suddenly spit out the other end
to the Whirlpool,
a Whirlpool, unlike any Whirlpool you've ever known,
because this Whirlpool appears to be inverted.
It is spitting you out versus luring you in.
You cannot confirm,
but you have reason to believe
that somehow this Whirlpool and the serpent are connected.
Brennan, back to you.
Oh my God.
- Change course master helpsman
due West Shakespeare for 2000.
- As you cast your eyes onto the horizon.
- In search, I think for this world,
you suddenly hear a groaning underneath you. Something,
that's not the floorboards of your ship.
Something very much alive.
You cast the ship's wheel to the side and make just enough
way for an enormous whale to break through onto the surface.
The whale turns its head toward you
and almost seems to smile.
- Ooh.
- I would like to point at the whales open mouth
as it smiles and say, "Helmsmen!
set a course for that whales gullet
- You with a reluctant crew.
I should add swing your sails in the direction of the whale.
The whale opens its mouth revealing to you,
a seaweed city inside the whale and
a representative of that city, broaches the mouth and says,
"Hi welcome to the city of the whale.
"so I'm Alvin I'm the head of the tourist bureau here.
"How may I be of service?
"You staying a short time, long time?"
- Greetings to ye Alvin I'm the captain of this vessel.
Having heard the wisdom of the wide seas that there lay an
ancient city within the gullet of this whale.
- Forget for a momen-
- Oh, so-
- What's that?
- You talked to the pirate? You talk to the old pirate lady.
- Yeah I talked to the old pirate lady.
I think I said it kind of with more gravitas,
but yeah, I talked to the old pirate lady and
- She was here for a couple of,
she was here for a couple of weeks we got drinks.
- Listen here Alvin forget for a moment.
how you might be of use to me.
I'm more concerned with how I might be of use to you.
Perhaps you have an answer and I've been longing
for a question.
- Ah well I gotta say as someone who
you know spends their life in service.
This is like kind of a big deal.
I mean, nobody asks after Alvin.
So if there's anything you need,
I trust you let me know
some times when the kids have gone to bed
and there's nothing good on TV anymore I'll stare out the
window and this answer will tumble around in my head like
a sock in a dryer
- Here's the issue Alvin.
The problem here is that both Twelfth Night and the Tempest,
I believe
- The Tempest! Was the one I was thinking about.
I could have just walked through and listed all the
Shakespeare plays I know.
And I would have struck gold.
- Hey, should you ever find yourself near shipwrecked
on an island just sing a happy tune,
preferably a royalty free one and you'll turn out just fine.
- Everyone knows how pirates love jaunty tunes
that are completely royalty free.
- There's two ways out of here,
you go out through the mouth
or you go out through the spout.
The spout is one of the most powerful forces that we have
here on the Jeopardian Seas just be warned.
If the exit do the spout, you can land anywhere in the sea.
- I am not going to sail back out through the mouth.
When there is another mechanic of the game,
we could discover. Onward to the spout helmsmen.
- You are spit out of the spout of the whale.
And you find yourself in video games for 800
Ify I think you are still.
- Skibedee boop. Bah da doot.
What you just singing me a tune?
- Yeah yeah just skididebop op, I'm on a rock.
Something told me to sing on a rock.
When you're on a rock,
it's feeling good on this rock hell good.
Too much might make my body rock cause I'm on a rock.
- The sirens look at you.
Completely perplexed and amazed.
- Yeah, I could sing too.
Didn't know that huh? Didn't know that.
Now you do.
- Hey what a lovely song you sing.
Are you a siren too?
- If you'll please, join us in our shipwrecking.
It's fun in a fucked up kind of way.
- I got some things to do, I would
but I definitely I'm coming back for you.
Definitely coming back, but I gotta got a game to win.
- Who are you, weary traveler
- I don't even know.
- Allow us to introduce ourselves.
We are the twins, ship wreckers of heroes,
keepers of today's twin question
- Oh oh
- If you have a twin question, I got a twin answer.
- Very well, today's twin question.
Otherwise known as the daily double
- Ugh why couldn't I have been stranded in video games?
What is the Trevi Fountain?
- The Trevi Fountain, you too will need to ask
for the assistance of a powerful fountain
like force to propel certain shy creatures.
- From their hiding place.
- If I were to find said fountain like creature
and say their voices are muffled because they are a statue.
How would I free them from their form?
- Oh, I don't know shit about that statue.
That's a whole other fucking thing.
- I like these batty sirens.
- Back to the board Ally.
- I am going to go to forward ho video games for 2000.
- You decide to go for a little swim.
The trip through the digestive tract of the serpent really
did a number on you.
You lower yourself down the ladder,
overboard peer under the water and see what you're almost
sure are two beading eyes piercing out
from under a log.
- I'm wondering if it's really shy.
So I say you're really pretty
- You hear a low sort of murmur in return,
a sort of a dismissive murmur
And that is all.
We are going to turn to the serpent who is going crossover
into theme parks, Brennan the move is yours.
- Due South video games for 1200.
- Iffy.
- East as well, theme parks for 1600.
- Ally that is you.
- I would like to swim up.
Take a breath out of the water
and look to where I just came from.
This reverse whirlpool,
which I'm wondering,
does that seem like some sort of force
that could move this shy guy?
- It is not the force that you are looking for.
- I would like to go to video games for 1600 please
- Video games for 1600 it is the serpent's move.
Serpent is going to move to Shakespeare for 400
that's Brennan.
- Due South and give a fair greeting
to Captain Beardsley on the way,
- A wave between captains.
- We each hold out our hands and we go.
Two hooks.
- Ify that's you.
- All right, I'll sail east to Shakespeare
for 1600
- Ally once more.
- I would like to go to Red Herring for 1600, please.
- Serpent is going to take his turn coming down
to Shakespare for 800.
Brendan, that's you?
- Helmsmen due south.
- Oh, Brennan's onto something.
- I'm gonna dive into the water
and whistle out over the open sea and say
Alvin you said that you've never been paid a kindness
You've lived your life in service
and that for the first time someone had
asked you if you needed a question for an answer,
I'm calling on my favor Alvin you bring
that great Leviathan to call.
- Alvin hears your call.
Well, what can we do for you here in the city of the whale?
- There's a coward hiding under that sea log.
And I think he'd enjoy a little ride aboard the whale's
spout my good Alvin.
- Yes, yes, sir.
Consider me a part of the extended crew
of the SS Whatever You Are,
and he ducks back inside the whale.
The whale turns sort of groaningly around
dips below the water.
Next thing you know shooting out of its log is
the Mer-ctopus.
- Literally out of my dream diary.
I thought my hiding in a log
would have made it clear
that I'm not eager for company.
- Well, Merc-topus, there's only two things I know.
Number one, you are
I'm just going to be frank and blunt.
You've been rendered kind of very attractive.
Is that weird to say?
The Mer-ctopus is strangely hot.
- Something you should know about the Jeopardian Seas
is that everyone's really hot.
Number two Mer-ctopus.
Is I know the creatures of this far flung and accursed sea
have all the answers and long for questions,
pose your answer to me,
and I shall see if I can question it.
- If I give you my answer,
and you give me back your question,
may I return to my Sudoku?
- Yes do you?
by the way, do you do
I do the easy-
All of my Sudoku books are only
one third done just the easy part.
- I hear that yeah, it gets,
you'd like to think that you would like
are going to build it out as a skill and improve.
But really, I just get so frustrated by the medium
and hard ones there's no joy in it for me anymore.
Yes, ye may return to your log you sea devil.
- Fair enough.
- You know, some kids are video game kids
and other kids take their copy of Lord
of the Rings and sit under a tree outside and read it.
what be I know Sonic has friends like Tails
and Knuckles and is that
- That's exactly what it is, yes.
- Fuck me I almost had a fucking heart attack.
- There is a stone statue of Poseidon on these waters,
and a saber that can be pulled out
of the coral as red herrings for 400 but be warned,
you will not be able to pull the sabre out by yourself.
You must overcome your competitive
nature Brennan Lee Mulligan
to have any hope of defeating the serpent
and saving this land.
- I do hear what you're saying in principle,
but let me see if I can work my way around this.
- Unbelievable.
- If I were to threaten you
with physical force,
wouldn't that theoretically be another person
that I could collaborate with?
to pull the saber?
- The mer-ctopus all
of its arms come up and it covers its face
with all of its hands.
And it says how did someone
with a homeschool education become
so wildly competitive you had no one to compete with.
- I think you answered your own question
- Ye seek it out.
- Ify that's all you
- All right I'll head to video games for 1600
- Ally
- North for me, please 1200.
- Serpents are video games. Asshole.
- Brennan.
- Do I get the idea that if this Jeopardian Sea is kind of
like a Pac Man where if I sailed South I'd appear
at the northern most spot in video games
- You could try.
- To the edge of the world lads, sail south
- And you come back round to the top, Ify.
- I will go Red Herrings 1600
- And serpent has the opportunity here to get
so it does. Brennan you are sucked down into and out
of the Whirlpool Brennan.
It is your go again.
- Due south Red Herring for 400.
I'm gonna shout out at the sea serpent thanks for the help
ye nasty sea serpent.
- You see a saber stuck deeply inside some coral.
- I am going to exclaim loudly.
The mer-ctopus was probably lying and I'm going to jump out
and attempt to pull the saber out.
- It moves not an inch.
- Why won't this reward my individual efforts.
Ify that's all you.
I've done the math and I'm going south
to the Whirlpool Ally.
I'm going to red herring for 800
- The serpent appears to be somehow propelled by the saber
and so takes a move back, Brennan that's you again.
I see the approach of Captain Ify
coming from the south and Captain Beardsley headed north.
So I'm going to say everyone quick quick hide
all the stuff we used to try pull the saber out
make it look like we've been waiting here for them.
Put out a spread. Put out finger sandwiches.
- I'm sorry I already saw it.
- Ify that's you.
- I go south.
- South to end up at Red Herrings for 400.
Ally
- Full speed ahead north to land at red herrings
for 400 players,
as if propelled by some mechanical force that neither
of you knew was present.
Your ships fall together like some badass transformer.
And your blue red and green sails become those
of a combined ship.
A ship that now wields the Saber.
You will now make your moves together.
First, the serpent is going to back up one more time
threatened by your newfound status.
Players where would you like to go?
Maybe go east to pop up on the other side of the 80s?
- Set sail for the 1980s
- End up at the 80s the serpent
once more threatened by you now moving
in the other direction and where we'd like to move crew
- 80s for 800.
- The serpent to move south and one more time.
Where would you like to move?
- 80s for 1200
players you arrive at the stone statue
of Poseidon. What do you do when here?
I say we take this saber and plunge
it into the sea god's heart.
No kings, no masters.
- That might kill him right?
Let's just chop off the hand.
- I don't want to cut any of his body off.
It looks like he's pointing at something.
What is he pointing at something?
He's pointing imperiously at us poor mortals.
Let's behead the sea God.
- What if we do a practice stab on the shark?
- You line up for your practice stab on the shark.
And all that happens is you touch this stone
with the edge of that saber.
And a crack begins to form in the stone
as if it's ice.
It spreads throughout the statue
and the statue crumbles away
from the top to middle as it does dust
rises into the sky.
And out from the bottom comes this guy.
God damn man son of a bitch.
How long was that?
Was that like a thousand years?
Was anyone keeping tabs on that?
- Oh, hey, brother
- Hey, how's it going?
- Hey, what's up, What's up what's up Poseidon?
You are I'm the captain of the ship that you're looking at.
I am also the captain of the ship
- Oh right of course yes co-captains.
- Yeah, there's three co-captains.
It's like a whole fucking lesson about collaboration,
- I'm not into that I'm more of a solo player,
you know what I'm saying?
But whatever floats your boat, literally speaking,
- Hey, you know what, man?
we were wondering if you have an answer that you would
like a question to.
- I got a answer to a question needs some asking.
But that's cause you're in need of some more wisdom
to guide you on your journey?
- I want to be very clear.
I'm not after wisdom.
I'm after the dollar amounts associated
with these questions.
- Well, I don't know much about dollar amounts.
I'm sort of nonmaterial kind of guy, but sure.
here's a quick here's a quick answer for you.
- Captains is this You Spin me Right Round?
- That's what I was thinking too.
- What be You Spin me Right Round.
- Oh boy, man, you saved me quite a bit
of grief there I've been wondering about the question
of that answer for eons. Makes no sense given
that it was composed in the 80s now this is
this is gonna sound a little trippy.
They say up is down and left is right.
And such will be the case until the serpent is destroyed.
That's what they say.
But because questions are answers and answers
are questions I wonder if the reverse is true too.
In other words,
would the serpent be destroyed if up
were made down again
- Are you suggesting that if we sail up the Serpents
asshole we'll eat it and then it will be dead
- Well that's one idea.
- Set a course for the serpents asshole
- Absolutely not I grab the wheel
- Oh my god I'm literally getting out voted.
This is why there's not three captains
on a ship
- One day it was like everything got turned upside down.
And suddenly that whirlpool that had
only ever gone down went up instead.
And when it did the serpent got flung out of there.
- Welp I never noticed this whole time that compass
is upside down.
- Due south set a course for the compass roses
asshole
- Everyone's quarantine horny.
- Together you make your way down to the tip
of the compass.
The three of you lift your anchors together
and throw them across this giant metal objects they clang
as they tighten the power
of your combined ship backs up and moves them
together very slowly the compass moving around and
as it does you feel the gravity
of the game shifting waters that
once moved right move left waters that
once moved up, move down.
The serpent pulled by this newfound gravity
of the Whirlpool moving in the other direction is sucked in.
He lets out one primal screech as he's lured finally
into his water coffin the three of you have saved
the land of the Jeopardian Seas with your combined efforts
and your trivia knowledge.
- We all working together reversed
the cardinal directions and sucked
that sea bug up its own asshole. Incredible
- And in an instant it all comes flooding back
to you were reminded that your names are Brennan
and Ify and Ally and you are playing a weird
internet game show over video conference.
And you've all collectively won Tushy bidets.
- Keep that asshole clean.
- Are you being serious right now that we did a
whole asshole bit on this thing and the real prize
is a bidet.
- That is it for us here at Game Changer.
I am Sam Reich a poor excuse for both a Brennan Lee Mulligan
and an Alex Trebek.
- Somebody send me that siren picture.
