Game Rules Explained
00:00:38
Speaker
ah And you get to be the first guest to play three headlines in a lie, which I think, again, apart from the last time we did it where we got in a big argument and all the headlines were trash. and It was so obvious.
00:00:54
Speaker
Which one? Because I feel like we kind of argue a little with all of them. Was it the guy on top of the head? The chest player. Home Depot? Yeah, that one got there. Yeah, that one was... um But we're going move on. Yeah, apparently. Yeah.
00:01:09
Speaker
What are we doing? I mean, that's a no. three headlines and a lie. The way this game works is I'll read four headlines. Three of them are true.
00:01:22
Speaker
And one is a lie. And we have to figure out which one is the lie. So basically, we just go down, we chat about what we think. you who You've seen, I'm sure. you watch Surely you watch the show. She subscribes.
00:01:36
Speaker
I mean, of course. So you probably already know how it works. I didn't even have to explain it. But for those at home that are listening, that's how the game works. It's a good warm up.
00:01:47
Speaker
So here we
Headline 1: Indie Cigarette Designer
00:01:49
Speaker
go. everybody ready? ready Let's do it. What did you say? He's trying to speak Spanish. For my Spanish speaking friends. What does it mean though?
00:01:58
Speaker
Ready. I don't know what it means. What? Ready? Yeah. I don't know. yeah There's many responses to are you Did Spanish in high school? All right. We're going to move on. have like three years of this. Because you did. Number one, this indie cigarette designer is booked solid for the next year.
00:02:20
Speaker
I'll read it again for those in the back. This indie cigarette designer is booked solid for the next year. who What kind of cigarette designers? What does that mean? Indie like independent? like Yeah.
00:02:33
Speaker
What's that brand of cigarette? It's the yellow box and it has the Indian chief on it. I don't smoke. You don't have to smoke to know them, but i don't know that one.
00:02:43
Speaker
It was like one of those really weird one-offs, but they always had them. And that's the first thing I thought of with indie cigarette designer. like Wow. I think racist. But they're both solid for the next year. I thought it was somebody.
00:02:54
Speaker
I thought we were getting better about knowing the dangers of cigarettes and they shouldn't. No, cigarettes are making a comeback. We've talked about this. What? i didn't I didn't know that. Yeah, we totally did.
00:03:05
Speaker
We talked about it on here? Mm-hmm. Because we were talking about vaping and how- That was her 2025 list. It was the In and Out episode. Oh, that's right. Okay. Well, gosh, remember when you used to go in a restaurant?
00:03:17
Speaker
I know. It's not what we're here to do. The machine? And they say smoking and non-smoking. Oh. I thought you were talking about the machine, like the vending machine where you could just put the money in and pull the thing. For cigarettes?
00:03:29
Speaker
Yes. They used to have those. think we forget how much like cigarettes were everywhere for a really long time. Yeah. Chuck, you look bamboozled.
00:03:41
Speaker
Are you really? You don't remember that, Charlie? Maybe I do. I was just thinking about when they go and say smoking or non-smoking. It's crazy to think about people smoking inside these days. While they're eating.
00:03:55
Speaker
oh Okay, we're going to move on to number two. Idaho Man. Wait, that it? Yeah. what was the statement? Did you listen?
00:04:07
Speaker
Cigarette designer. This indie cigarette designer is booked solid for the next year.
Headline 2: Soup Barcode Theft
00:04:15
Speaker
All right, we're going to go on to number two while you process number one. Idaho man accused of using soap barcode. I'm sorry. I'm going to back up and reread that because I read it wrong.
00:04:28
Speaker
Read too fast. Idaho man accused of using soup barcode hidden in ring for Walmart theft scheme.
00:04:40
Speaker
You might have to read that. Idaho man accused of using soup barcode hidden in ring for Walmart theft scheme. They're just saying that he used the soup to try and steal, you know, that doesn't feel like a headline because someone in Idaho did it. It's a headline. That barely feels like a sentence.
00:04:59
Speaker
Well, yeah, the in first complete sentence either. are you Are you on the right website? I'm getting, I'm... How many fingers am holding up? What? Great, I'm good. I'm doing awesome. Okay.
00:05:11
Speaker
okay One of those two is true, by the way. Right.
00:05:19
Speaker
Oh, God. I just want to move on. I don't even want to read that one again. Number three.
Headline 3: Ninja Swirl Ice Cream Maker
00:05:24
Speaker
We'll come back to it. Number three. The Ninja Swirl by... i don't know what that is, and you guys going to laugh when I say it, but this is I'm just reading what I'm... I'm saying what I'm reading.
00:05:36
Speaker
The Ninja Swirl by Creamy. Is conquering the hardest type of ice cream to make at home. Well, now Creamy makes sense.
00:05:46
Speaker
The Ninja Swirl by Creamy is conquering the hardest type of ice cream to make at home, which is what? What would be the hardest? The soft serve? Yeah. ah What's the one? Just chocolate and vanilla.
00:06:02
Speaker
What do you call it Chocolate and vanilla. Yeah. actually just saw an ad for like this Ninja Swirl ice cream machine maker. Y'all don't have to take my word for it, but I'm familiar with that.
00:06:16
Speaker
oh That sounds true. Didn't there used to be a kid's toy that was in line with the Easy Bake oven that was supposed to do that? It had Snoopy on it. i That's the ice.
00:06:27
Speaker
Was it an icy? Yeah, an icy. Okay. That's very different. Okay. that like These are great, Scott. but or you are are You are firing on all cylinders with these.
Headline 4: Deep-sea Fish Surprise
00:06:40
Speaker
I'm doing great. Number four, deep sea fish makes surprise appearance near the ocean surface.
00:06:46
Speaker
Yeah. I'm obsessed with that fish. Yeah, we've seen that a lot. Because you can't tell if he if he, is his mouth this way or is it this way? I think it's a her. They confirmed it's a female fish.
00:06:58
Speaker
Wow. Wow. Okay. And man, you just gendered that fish without even knowing. Did you ask it? I didn't ask what its pronouns were. They, them. And here you go. Charlie, they, them.
00:07:09
Speaker
Wow. Wow. That's just ridiculous. I even think it's that deep. I think it was just female fish. even know we can keep going. I mean, he called it a boy and he didn't even know. It's mammal. It's a mammal.
00:07:23
Speaker
not a mammal. so Well, all right. We're good then because I just insulted it.
00:07:30
Speaker
I have no idea. Number four is true. That's off the table. Yeah. Number one. all make the ninja swirl sound real. Indie cigarette designers booked solid for the next year. that's that's That feels believable.
Which Headline is Fake?
00:07:43
Speaker
It does. The only reason I would think it's a headline is because it's cigarettes and nobody knew except for Shauna that they were making a comeback. Maybe the designer. did they even include the name of them? It's so abstract. Because it's a headline. They want you to click on it. That's the point. That's right. Clickbait.
00:08:01
Speaker
Clickbait. Number two, Idaho man accused of using soup barcode for Walmart theft scheme. Yeah. I don't even understand that hate that title so That sounds true. I'm going to say that it's... I kind of get it now. He's using the barcode for soup to scan like a PlayStation. Like he's in the... Yeah.
00:08:21
Speaker
So if he's like in the self-checkout, he just beep, beep. But the headline's confusing me. But, yeah, that's – But, again, I feel like that's been done a million times. Why is it a headline?
00:08:36
Speaker
Because someone in Idaho did it. Because he racked up like a million dollars worth of stuff. Right. How many times did he do it? Right. Before he got busted. All right.
00:08:46
Speaker
And then the Ninja Swirl. but i i mean, that sounds Indie cigarette. Does it – Yeah, that one's really blowing my mind. i think in number one is false.
00:08:57
Speaker
I mean, are people asking for special cigarettes? Right, who's designing these cigarettes for those? who's designing them, who's booking them? Right, that might be a moneymaker. is like, want to place an order for a designer cigarette.
00:09:09
Speaker
I want to start designing cigarettes. I'll take 20 please. They're booked solid for the next year, they're booked. But like part of me wants it to be true because I have questions and it sounds vaguely interesting. Do you have anything for May?
00:09:21
Speaker
What's this Reiner 6th look like? Yep, got you down for the week and You got a red and a white? So are they designing it like that? Are they getting, let's mix this kind of tobacco leaf with this kind of tobacco leaf and mix them together and make a new one? Oh, a cigarette mixologist. Got an aficionado here. Wow.
00:09:41
Speaker
And he's just over there cooking up. You know you guys are going to love this. little bit of everything in those cigarettes. I put a little bit of poison ivy in this one. Trust me, it's going to be good. Speaking the poison ivy, that's what I'm growing over here.
00:09:56
Speaker
i That's terrible. was it Good thing your arm's up against it. It's true of an all over me. Do you have like five cats? I'm voting for the barcode, I think.
00:10:10
Speaker
Wow, because it's just so like whatever. Yeah, it just makes sense.
00:10:17
Speaker
think it's the cigarette one. No, wait a minute. Every time. Every time I love it. We're trying to figure out which one's not true. Right. I'm going to say the cigarette.
00:10:29
Speaker
But gosh, if that's not true, I'm going to go into that business. I cigarette. Okay, that's three for cigarette. But Shona, you seem like the- No, yeah I mean, y'all are probably right. I'm just going to be bummed about it. um I hate the soup one so much, but it does sound true. so I'm going to say cigarette as well.
00:10:46
Speaker
Okay, so we're all on board for the cigarette.
00:10:50
Speaker
Right or done. Okay. You were shaking your head at I was like, where hey, we're going down with the ship. Drum roll. We made up the one about the cigarette designer. Okay. all right. Yep. Dang. I mean, I don't know what a cigarette designer would do.
00:11:06
Speaker
i was thinking more of like the art the box, but that wouldn't. Oh, wow. I'm imagining like the the wrapping and it just. See, it could be all different kinds of things. And we find out it's not even real.
00:11:21
Speaker
All right. Let me write that down. We're going to have a business meeting after this. I was going to say, but since nobody's done it, we could seize an opportunity. After we make that Hallmark movie that we said we were going to make, we're making... That's a hard left, too, from Hallmark movies to cigarettes.
00:11:37
Speaker
We'll market the cigarettes in in the movie. It'll be great. We'll bring smoking back to TV. cigarettes sports let's get with the NFL get a branding thing going yeah and then you can buy packs of your rival team and just smash them ugh I hate them okay wow we are man we're getting into the cigarette industry WWE cigarettes I hate these Cody Rhodes don't think anyone would say that some of them will give you a lisp
00:12:14
