00:00For a Game Changer, tonight's guest,
00:03all-time Game Changer champion, Brennan Lee Mulligan.
00:07Hello!
00:09All-time Game Changer participant, it's Zac Oyama.
00:16That is correct.
00:17And all-time Game Changer fan, it's Allie Beardsley.
00:22I am a fan, this is a great show.
00:24And your host, me.
00:27I've been here the whole time.
00:30Oh!
00:31This is Game Changer, the only game show
00:33where the game changes every show.
00:35I'm your host, Sam Reich.
00:36I'm joined today by these three lovely contestants.
00:39Now, you all understand how the game works.
00:42No. No.
00:43Absolutely. The rules have not been explained.
00:44That's right.
00:45Our contestants have no idea what game it is
00:47they're about to play.
00:48The only way to learn is by playing.
00:50The only way to win is by learning,
00:51and the only way to begin is by beginning.
00:53So without further ado, let's begin.
00:57We're going to play a game called Yes or No.
01:01The question every round is merely yes or no,
01:05and you will win points based on whether you are correct
01:08or incorrect in that round.
01:09Each of you will have one opportunity throughout this game
01:11to take me backstage and to tell me
01:14what you think the rule is.
01:18If you are right, you win.
01:21And if you are wrong, you lose.
01:24One chance.
01:25Whenever you want, you say so.
01:28Are you ready?
01:30Ready.
01:30Yeah.
01:32Yeah, I'm ready.
01:33Your first question is yes or no.
01:38Brennan.
01:40Yes.
01:42Zach.
01:44There's not like a, it's just,
01:47you don't play a sound effect or anything?
01:50We're in the data collection portion of the game.
01:52Yeah, we are.
01:54Zach, oh, it's a yes.
01:55I'll say yes.
01:56No, just for data.
01:58That is a no for Allie.
02:00The answer to this particular question is no.
02:04That's a point for Allie Beardsley.
02:06Moving on to question two.
02:09Yes or no.
02:15I recommend that we keep our answers the same
02:18for this question to see if the questions change.
02:21Because if we change our answers
02:23and it comes back with a different result.
02:25So have some sort of control group?
02:26Have a control group.
02:27And in this instance, we can't control the question,
02:29but we can control our answers.
02:30Okay.
02:31We know nothing about the question, though.
02:34If we right now go yes, yes, no again,
02:36and then Sam says the correct answer is yes,
02:41we will know that these are not senseless repetitions.
02:46Are you timing how long we talk about it
02:48in between questions?
02:50If only because there's a wrap time.
02:54All right, I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.
02:55It's a yes from Brennan.
02:56I'm going to say yes.
02:59And I'm going to say no.
03:00What?
03:01Yeah, the exact same answers.
03:03Oh, the same answers we gave last time.
03:05I thought you said everyone say yes this time.
03:07I wasn't paying attention.
03:08Not good.
03:10That was a yes and a yes and a no.
03:16The answer in this case is no.
03:18That is another point for Ally Beardsley.
03:21I like this control group.
03:24Do we want to do all three yeses to this next one?
03:27I mean, does it change it?
03:29Now I'm looking more at the question.
03:30Let's hear how we asked it again.
03:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:32But then, yeah.
03:33Ready, gang?
03:34There's just so much it could be.
03:35Yes or no.
03:40I'll say yes.
03:43Just blank.
03:44It's just blank up there.
03:46But it looks like I'm thinking.
03:48A vast wasteland attacking I was mine.
03:51Tumbleweed. Nothing's happening.
03:52A colorful unicorn skips across the desert plain.
03:54It's white.
03:55It's just a white plain.
03:57The regular horse.
03:58Did you say yes?
03:59I did say yes.
04:00I said yes.
04:01Then I'm going to say no.
04:03I'm also going to say no.
04:05Is it this simple?
04:06The answer in that particular case was no.
04:08That's a point for Zach and a point for Ally.
04:14There he is.
04:16Of course you need that.
04:18Okay.
04:35No.
04:39British and now French.
04:40Might've been Australia.
04:41Well, British are now mime.
04:42Nar.
04:44No.
04:46Three nos.
04:49Across the board.
04:50A no, a no, and a no.
04:52And yet the answer in this case was yes.
04:55That is no points for this particular round.
04:58Do we want to see what happens
04:59if we all give a yes on the next one?
05:01Yeah, let's do it.
05:03Because it's not no every time.
05:04Yeah, that would have been way too easy,
05:05but I just wanted to rack up some points with that theory.
05:08Rule it out, yeah.
05:10Players, the question is yes or no.
05:15Come on.
05:17Or no.
05:17You just flash us.
05:21I will answer yes.
05:22Yes.
05:23Yes.
05:24Three yeses across the board.
05:27Yeses as far as the eye can see.
05:30And yet not the answer to this particular question.
05:34Don't worry, gang, we're at the beginning.
05:36I'm sure.
05:37Let's go.
05:38So the first one was a regular yes or no.
05:40He's saying something different before every question too.
05:42It's like, okay, guys, or it's the next question, y'all.
05:48Did you already ask one?
05:49No.
05:50Okay.
05:51But I'm about to.
05:52Does that count?
05:52Ready?
05:53Yes or no.
05:55Yes or no.
05:57Yes or no.
05:58Yes or no.
06:00Yes or no.
06:02Yes or no.
06:04Yes or no.
06:06Yes or no.
06:09You guys are having a real good time
06:10making chumps out of us.
06:14I'm gonna go no.
06:15I'll say no as well.
06:16I'm gonna say yes.
06:19Because I don't know what's happening.
06:21The answer in that particular case is yes.
06:25That's a point for Zac Oyama.
06:30All right.
06:31What do we got?
06:33Zero, two, and three.
06:38Both times that we've done all three,
06:39it's been the other one, correct?
06:41Yes.
06:42So maybe there are only two points available
06:44to be given out per question.
06:46Listen closely, players.
06:48♪ I got a question for you ♪
06:51♪ And it isn't red or blue ♪
06:54♪ This or that or up or down ♪
06:57♪ Pants or hat or smile or frown ♪
07:00♪ Left or right or here or there ♪
07:02♪ Underpants or underwear ♪
07:05♪ Rain or shine or sleet or snow ♪
07:08♪ The question is yes or no ♪
07:15Can you tell us why you would do this to us?
07:17I feel like I almost have it.
07:20No, you don't.
07:20You almost have it?
07:21What does that mean?
07:22I have a couple cooking theories.
07:25Okay.
07:26Let me give them a stir.
07:27It's just blank as hell in my brain.
07:28Okay.
07:29Brennan.
07:30Yes.
07:31That's a yes from you.
07:32Yes.
07:33A yes from Zac.
07:34No.
07:35A no from Allie.
07:37The answer in this case is no.
07:40Allie wins the point.
07:42Okay.
07:44Allie, if you're getting it already,
07:46I am going to be amazed.
07:49Why do I play these games?
07:50Why do I play?
07:52For this next question, I'll need the help of Ash.
07:55Ash.
07:56♪♪
08:07He did it opposite style.
08:09That's right, brother.
08:13Yes.
08:14It is yes.
08:15No.
08:16Yes.
08:17No.
08:18That is a point for Zac O'Brien.
08:19What?
08:20Because it was opposite style.
08:21For Allie or Brennan.
08:24I won't be made a fool of.
08:25Have we done one?
08:28We've done Zac votes differently than you and I,
08:31and we've done the Ash versus Brennan.
08:33I've done the Allie versus Brennan.
08:35We've done Zac votes differently than you and I,
08:36and we've done the Allie votes differently than you and I.
08:38Have we done one?
08:40Where you vote differently.
08:41Where I vote differently from you, too?
08:42Between the two of us.
08:43Okay, cool.
08:44Because, yeah.
08:45Cool.
08:46I'm thinking maybe that has more to do with it.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Our sequencing.
08:49Yeah, the sequencing of it all.
08:50Gang, it's one of my favorite times of the show.
08:53It's time for a celebrity video question.
08:56Yee-haw.
08:57It's Jewel on the Murray Ranch in Texas.
08:58What the fuck?
09:00Yes or no.
09:01You heard Jewel.
09:02Wait, was it actually Jewel?
09:04You heard actual Jewel.
09:06Play that again, please.
09:08You wanna see that one more time?
09:09Absolutely.
09:10Yee-haw.
09:11It's Jewel on the Murray Ranch in Texas.
09:14Yes or no.
09:15I'm so glad that she has horses.
09:16She was at the fair for a long time.
09:18From living in your car to owning a ranch.
09:22What is she?
09:23That's America, honey.
09:23She's an American songwriter.
09:25I could sit here and watch that over and over again.
09:27I won't lie.
09:28I've watched it 10 times.
09:29Oh my God.
09:30Wait.
09:31I've watched it two times.
09:31I'm not joking.
09:32It means so much to me.
09:34Jewel's incredible.
09:36Jewel is incredible.
09:37I could actually cry right now.
09:39Okay.
09:40I need to pull it together.
09:42I'm gonna go ahead and say yes.
09:44It's a yes from Brennan.
09:45I'm gonna say yes.
09:46Wait, or.
09:47Why?
09:48Can I say, can I change it?
09:50Sure.
09:51No.
09:52You're gonna say no.
09:53No.
09:54No.
09:55The answer in this particular case
10:00is no.
10:01Can I solve it?
10:02Can you solve the game?
10:03Can I solve the game?
10:04Zach, let's go.
10:07This is a fucking nightmare.
10:10Ladies and gentlemen, Zach Oyama, winner.
10:13What?
10:14A winner, a winner of yes or no.
10:17Let's see where we get.
10:18Oh, it's not over.
10:19Oh no, not at all.
10:20Not at all.
10:22All three of you will have an opportunity.
10:24You know what?
10:25That was a real Jewel moment
10:26to go from so far on the bottom to so far on top.
10:30Who's the participant now?
10:33Next question.
10:36Wish me luck, guys.
10:37It's been a long time since summer camp.
10:41This is Diablo.
10:42I'm sure some of you have seen this before.
10:43For sure.
10:44I think it's the only form of juggling
10:46that's like nerdier than actual juggling.
10:48It's like a yo-yo.
10:49It is kind of like a yo-yo.
10:50I think that's another name for it, as a matter of fact.
10:54Is this,
10:57this is crazy.
11:01It's yes or no.
11:06Can I play with that later?
11:07Yeah, totally.
11:08The answer is yes.
11:09I will also say yes.
11:11You will also say yes.
11:12I will also say yes.
11:14Three yeses.
11:17All of them incorrect.
11:18The answer was no.
11:19There are no points awarded this round.
11:22I don't care.
11:23Players, your next question is
11:28something I'll need a little help from Ash with.
11:31Ash, you can come on out.
11:46How do we feel?
11:47How do we feel about this?
11:48There's a lot of power.
11:50Yeah, thanks.
11:50Feels good.
11:51This question started with players.
11:57Yes.
12:11Yes or no?
12:13No.
12:14Yes.
12:15It's yes.
12:16It is yes.
12:17That's points for Zach and Allie.
12:19For this next question,
12:20I'm going to need the assistance of Kayla.
12:22Kayla.
12:24Players, please say hi to Kayla.
12:26Hello.
12:27Hello.
12:40Thank you so much, Kayla.
12:44Yes or no?
12:46No.
12:47No.
12:48Yes.
12:49The answer's no.
12:51You guys want to hold the crown?
12:55Want to give it a hold?
12:56It hurts so bad.
12:58This is mine.
13:00I know it.
13:01Allie?
13:02I think, yeah.
13:03I'm gonna see what Allie thinks.
13:06This is a full-blown conspiracy.
13:10Call Robert Mueller.
13:12Call James Comey.
13:14Call the Hague.
13:16Call former CIA director John Brennan, okay?
13:20This is a full-blown criminal conspiracy.
13:23You were like, the representatives are in on it.
13:27God, I hate this.
13:29Justify it.
13:29If Allie walks out of there with a crown,
13:31I'm gonna lose it.
13:32Allie Beardsley.
13:34Okay.
13:36Okay.
13:37Everyone's having a good time.
13:38Everyone's having a good time.
13:39It was not simple.
13:40I'll tell you that.
13:42It was elaborate.
13:44For this next question,
13:45I am going to need the help of Ash.
13:49Ash, would you come out here, please?
13:54The question is, yes or no?
13:59Is that you?
14:01It is me.
14:02I will have you know,
14:03and I don't know how to feel about this,
14:05that these are modified Bill Clinton bobbleheads.
14:08Apparently, that's as close as you can get to me
14:10in the bobblehead library.
14:12I do feel like I'm in a nightmare.
14:16The answer is, I'll say,
14:18what did you guys say last time?
14:20Last time?
14:21Yeah.
14:22Either no or yes.
14:24I know that the answer to this one is yes.
14:26You know that the answer to this one is yes.
14:29Fascinating.
14:30Then I will say yes.
14:32Zack?
14:33It's yes.
14:34Allie?
14:35It's yes.
14:36It's no.
14:37Sorry, gang.
14:38No points that round.
14:39So you're telling me Allie's got a crown on their head
14:43and guessed wrong.
14:44I can't speak to Allie's strategy.
14:47We got somebody with a crown on their head
14:49that can't even play the game.
14:50That was an honest mistake.
14:52I think I got my math off.
14:55And sometimes I play just a little different.
14:59It's hard to-
15:00I'll get this one right, I will.
15:01It's hard to hold this much anger in my body.
15:05I think you get crowns whether you guess right or not.
15:10Nope.
15:12Then why-
15:13Because you told me I was right, right?
15:14Then why did you get the question wrong, Beardsley?
15:18Okay.
15:20If you knew the game, then why did you get the question wrong?
15:24I misheard something.
15:25It stinks from top to bottom, gang.
15:29If you never hear from me again,
15:31you know what to do.
15:33Get in the comments, okay?
15:35If they don't find me,
15:37it's because I was chopped up and fed to the pigs.
15:41Are we ready?
15:43Are we ready?
15:44For this next and final question,
15:47I'm going to ask for the assistance of Aperture.
15:51Aperture.
15:54Oh.
15:57One, two, three, four.
16:00♪ I've got a question for you ♪
16:02♪ And it isn't red or blue ♪
16:06♪ This or that or up or down ♪
16:08♪ Heads or head or smile or frown ♪
16:11♪ Left or right or here or there ♪
16:14♪ Underpants or underwear ♪
16:16♪ Rain or shine or slip or snow ♪
16:19♪ The question is yes or no ♪
16:25Aperture ladies and gentlemen!
16:28What wonderful singing, thank you so much
16:32for being a part of our Bullish 8 universe.
16:35Yeah, you can leave the stage now.
16:36Thanks very much.
16:38That was beautiful.
16:39There was no cause for involving those sweet young people
16:42in this madness.
16:44Yes or no?
16:45Brennan?
16:47I know what's going on here.
16:49I know what's going on here, okay?
16:52I do.
16:53Do you?
16:54And if you want me to wander backstage to spill the beans.
16:58I mean, there's really no need for us to do that
17:00because these other two are in the loop, so.
17:04They're in the loop.
17:05I'm the only one out of the loop it would seem.
17:10And if we check my point total here,
17:13I don't need to walk to the front
17:16because I know what it is.
17:17It's a big old goose egg, gang.
17:20It's a fat zero.
17:22Hello, a little late addition to the numerical symbol chart
17:27brought to us from our friends in Arabia.
17:29A little bit of trivia that I happen to know
17:30about the history of numbers.
17:32That kind of little tidbit would serve me well
17:34in most trivia games,
17:35unless it had been read from the beginning.
17:38Whoa, dude.
17:39Whoa, dude.
17:41Whoa, dude.
17:42I've only just begun to pull the thread
17:45on this sweater, friends.
17:47You would think in a game
17:49where there were only two possible correct choices
17:52that one would stumble into the right answer
17:55every so often, wouldn't you?
17:57In fact, the probability of never guessing right
17:59in the full game is a statistical wonder.
18:02And yet here we are.
18:05Introduced to the top of the game as a champion.
18:07What do you think that means?
18:10Icarus flying too close to the sun,
18:12but it seems Daedalus, our little master crafter over here,
18:15had some whack swings of his own, didn't he?
18:19Wanted to see his son fall, fall from the sky.
18:22Oh, how close to the sun he flew.
18:25Well, I'm not having it.
18:28I've sold your labyrinth, Puzzle Master.
18:31The Minotaurs escaped,
18:32and you're gonna get the horns, buddy.
18:34Okay, are we, did we think we were in on it,
18:38but actually Brennan is the only one in on it,
18:40and that was rehearsed?
18:41That was an incredible monologue.
18:43Brennan, what is the rule of the game?
18:46Can we all say it?
18:47I cannot win!
18:49That is correct, Brennan.
18:52You cannot win the game.
18:59Did we all get crowns?
19:01We only got two.
19:02God damn it!
19:04Because you guessed correctly, you've won.
19:06As a reward to you, we're giving you a spa day for two
19:10in order so that you can de-stress
19:13from this awful, awful experience.
19:16That's it for us here at Game Changer.
19:18I'm Sam Rice, reminding you that if it seems like
19:21everyone is out to get you, they just might be.
19:25Good night!
