ProCo Episode 92: God Wheels It – Spin the Wheel

Perhaps the reason we don’t see many modern day prophets is because it can be difficult to know when a higher power is talking to you. That being said, Justin Timberlake certainly noticed when God told him to build a four story roulette wheel for a new Fox game show. I mean, there is really no other explanation for why they would produce a tv program where you watch a wheel spin for an hour. The Contestants are looking to get the attention of this new holy prophet to secure a spot on Spin the Wheel.

Zach gets invested in volcanoes, Jared believes The Wheel may be a god, and Adam discovers recent life in a childhood magazine.

Talking Points Include: Quintessential Halloween Movie, The John Stamos Video Puzzle, Identical Game Shows, A Wheel Based Religion, The Good Prophet Justin Timberlake, “Cool God,” Scouts In Action, Boys’ Life Podcast, Finding Our Good Deed, Kickstarting A Volcano

ProCo Episode 90: Tell Us, Teller! – Exit

Listen folks, some game shows are just nothing, and Syfy’s Exit might as well not have existed. However, no matter what we think of it (or if it even qualifies as “scary”,) we here at ProCo Inc. gotta catch em’ all. But that doesn’t mean we have to actually participate in Exit, per se. Sometimes all we have to do is kidnap a famous magician and make him sing to us naked. Don’t @ us.

Zach is frightened by Facebook events, Jared’s money is tied up in pendulums, and Adam is reluctant to kidnap comedy magician Teller.

Talking Points Include: Chili Talk, Bingo Spoils, Fake TV Death, A Curious Killer, Personalized Spooky Rooms, Forced Masterclass, Snowden’s Secrets, Stabbing Knife vs Cooking Knife, Everyday Fears, Impromptu TED Talk, Teller in Hell
