We are back with Three crazy games, but this week we are joined by CJ and Julie of Running The Hamster Wheel. Game 1 - Have I Got Absurd News For You Story 1 - Bizarre Epidemic of Penis Theft Leads to Multiple Arrests in Tanzania https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/zanzibar/10-arrested-as-genital-theft-rumours-reach-zanzibar-5418960 Story 2 - VW Beetle Found Suspended from Canadian Cliff https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/car-suspended-squamish-prank-9.7153796 Story 3 - Tiktok Psychic Sentenced to Pay Ten Million Dollars to Woman They Accused of Murder https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/13/university-of-idaho-murders-tiktok-psychic Game 2 - Pitch Me Baby One More Time April 19th is the 30th anniversary of the Metal Slug series of video games, and for those who don't know, Metal Slug was basically the Neo Geo's answer to Contra. It basically took the side-scrolling run-and-gun gameplay, toned the seriousness WAY down - not that Contra was an uberserious indictment about the glorification of war - but it really made things much more cartoony, and it wound up being one of SNK's most popular series, with a ton of sequels and spinoffs since then. So my question to you is, what would you take and reinvent to make it more light-hearted and comical? What games, genre, movie, TV series, or books are just too serious for their own good, and would benefit from being more zany and cartoony? Best pitch wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - The Cost is Correct Three items that recently sold on eBay, and all our players have to do is bid as close as they can to the final auction price without going over. First player to win two listings wins the game and gets three episode points.

We are back in studio with another day full of BFYTW games. Game 1 - Like Share Block Story 1 - Putting Googly Eyes on Food Can Stop Beach Seagulls From Stealing Your Fries https://theconversation.com/why-drawing-eyes-on-food-packaging-could-stop-seagulls-stealing-your-chips-278269 Story 2 - Florida Woman Arrested for Damaging AirBnBs by Filming Watersports Porn https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/national-international/florida-woman-accused-urinating-airbnb-posting-videos-online/3784963/osource=SocialFlowFBMIBrand Story 3 - Someone Stole 400,000 KitKat Bars in Europe https://www.today.com/food/news/kit-kat-bars-stolen-heist-nestle-rcna265865 Game 2 - Pop Culture Fight Club The game of answering a tough question and defending your position returns! I'll ask each player for the best something or their favorite something from the world of pop culture, and they'll have to explain and defend themselves as best they can, and the best answer as judged by me will get two episode points. What is the best "comfort" TV show? What television show do you turn to when you're down or feeling helpless in the desperate search for something better? What show serves as a warm blanket when you really need one, and why? Game 3 - 4 Out of 5 Dentists I've got five surveys asking questions like "what percentage of Americans believe in ghosts", and one player will guess the exact percentage - if they are within ten points high or low, they'll get a point. The other player will guess whether the actual answer is higher or lower, and they'll get a point if they're correct. After all five surveys, the player with the highest score wins the game and gets three episode points.

BFYTW on the Clocktower What on Earth? Blood on the Clocktower is the ultimate social deduction game, and it's one of my favorite group experiences. Simply put, it features a large group of good players who don't know who each other are, and a small group of evil players who do know who each other are. Good wins if the town can successfully nominate, vote for, and execute the Demon. Evil wins if there are just two players left alive and one of them is the Demon. (link to full rules below) It can be played locally or online using the official app, and we at BFYTW want to start a monthly online game of Blood on the Clocktower, recording audio and video of our shenanigans and posting them online for laughs and posterity. So this is an entertainment thing? Yes, our goal is for these games to be both thrilling and hilarious. We're hoping our players will be equally willing to pursue outrageous bits and wild big-brain plays in equal measure. Join us in a fun game and see if you can guess the Demon.

Are you ready for some insanity!? We have the episode for you. We've got three INSANE news stories this week, so I'm inventing a new game just for these: Game 1 - Have I Got Absurd News For You I've got three news stories, all our players have to do is tell me which one I've judged to be the most insane story of the week. Story 1 - Naked Man Steals An Ambulance With a Patient Inside https://www.wsaw.com/2026/02/19/suspect-identified-stolen-ambulance-chase-with-patient-still-inside/ Story 2 - 'Ridiculous' Plan Developed at Florida Zoo Saves Wild Rhino's Eye in Africa https://apnews.com/article/rhino-eye-treatment-florida-zimbabwe-dcf53d149e13cc077c2739999d2d6d9e Story 3 - Chinese Woman Adjusts Community Mirror for Better Feng Shui, Causes Series of Traffic Accidents https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/trending-china/article/3341528/china-woman-adjusts-community-traffic-mirror-better-feng-shui-causing-series-accidents Game 2 - One Thing or Another I've got two lists of ten things, and our players just have to tell me whether it's one thing or another. Each player gets to guess at half of each list, and whoever gets more correct after both lists wins the game and earns two episode points. Game 3 - 4 Out of 5 Dentists I've got five surveys asking questions like "what percentage of Americans believe in ghosts", and one player will guess the exact percentage - if they are within ten points high or low, they'll get a point. The other player will guess whether the actual answer is higher or lower, and they'll get a point if they're correct.
