ProCo 196: Ladies Love Templeton – Strip Poker

Let’s just get this out of the way right at the top here, this episode is a little *blue.* But what would you expect when we have to talk about a show about strip poker from the late 90’s? At least there’s no way a beloved childrens’ book would ever be involved, right? …RIGHT?!?!

Zach has created several strip games, Jared reveals his Blue Man ignorance, and Adam unironically watches poker.

Talking Points Include: A Sad Story, Presidental Credit, A Bad Battle of the Sexes, Babe is for Boys, I Got Hard in Studio City, Homemade Strip Games, Stripping vs Gambling, Tradmark Tattoos

ProCo 195: Rube Goldberg Bomb Defusal – Domino Masters

Look, we know we aren’t as good at creating complex domino displays as real professional domino artists are. But what we do have a lot of experience in is passible rube goldberg machines. Now just make it really big, increase the specticle, and add a bit of a threatening atmosphere… these judges just can’t say no.

Zach is totally fine with his current wardrobe, Jared has dark domino thoughts, and Adam lays his life on the line.

ProCo 194: The Joker Named Fran – Extreme Dodgeball

You may love it. You may hate it. Either way, we can all agree that dodgeball played an important roll in creating some formative memories from our younger years. But how much should change when it becomes a pro sport? Is it worthy of being a sport, or is it just a gym class time killer? Should Fran Drescher be the next Joker? These questions and more are not answered, but hotly debated in this episode!

Zach doesn’t want very many dodgeballs, Jared wants so many dodgeballs, and Adam gets actaully exasperated.

Talking Points Include: Daylight Savings Scam, Hellbruary, Dream Coaching, Ancient Dodgeball, Home Brew Dodgeball Rules, The Danville Community Middle School Dodgeball Tournament, How Many Balls is Too Many, Every Joker Ever

ProCo 193: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – Oblivious

If you have listened to any number of ProCo episodes, you know that we occisionally encounter a game show that is so unfortunate, we opt to destroy it over winning in a “traditional” method. And yes, sometimes that means becoming a dictator, traveling back in time, and stopping the creation of hidden camera tv shows. We may have to fight Mussolini, but thats a risk we’re willing to take.

Zach further solidifies his wild brand of humor, Jared details his plan for world peace, and Adam gets drawn by Flubber.

Talking Points Include: Broken Pants, Yet Another Archimedes Bit, Bad Hidden Camera, Haunted House Rules in March, What is a Game, Understudy Snap, A Truman Show-Esque Scenario, Dictator Time Travel, Mr. Ed on the Titanic

ProCo 192: Bean at the Bean – 20Q

Plenty has been written on the morality of robotics and artificial intelligence. But so few of us actually have to face those dilemmas head on. As the world’s leading game show professionals, this is our cross to bear. Do we allow GSN to continue using Mr. Q for their own gain, or do we free him even though he might be a total asshole? Decisions decisions…

Zach realizes that eBay is still weird, Jared wants to free Mr. Q, and Adam buys a enormous robot to keep in his kitchen.

Talking Points Include: The Royal Theater, Prepping for 200, A Toy NOT A Game, Robot Jokes, The Wizard’s Butt, Return to Oz Politics, Isaac Asimov: Wifi Repairman, Mr. Bean’s Chicago Boycott

ProCo 191: Lite-Brite Saved My Marriage – Blockbusters

Once more for the people in the back. TRIVIA GAME SHOWS ARE BORING. They are fun to play, not fun to watch. And they CERTAINLY don’t provide much to talk about. So for this one, you’re gonna hear a lot about Batman, a lot about IMAX, and a lot about the adult toy Lite-Brites. 

Zach thinks all of France is Normandy, Jared imparts his curling knowledge, and Adam has a lot of opinions about IMAX.

Talking Points Include: Riddle Time, Batman’s Invasion of Privacy, John Henry Allegory, Worst IMAX Movies, Lance Bass in Dunkirk, Monk vs Real Life, Lite-Brite Technology, Don’t Fill Up On Books
