#### Necessary Background

Everyone wants something for Christmas. Some people want money, or homes, or really just about anything. But famous and rich people want things too.

#### How to Play

Gameshow-vanists(sp?) will call in to Dr. Gameshow and after talking to George they are put through to Jo. Then the caller and the people in the studio will take turns pretending to be a famous person, living or dead, crying about what they wanted for Christmas. Manolo will judge, because Manolo can't cry, and Manolo will give points based on creativity and best cry.

Players will be given a phrase that is either the cheesy name of a popular chain restaurant's margarita, or it could be the name of another thing. Players will get 1 point if they guess correctly if the name is that of a margarita or another thing.

If the phrase is another thing, the player will get 3 points for guessing what it's the name of.

House rules: Lightning round!

### Manolo of the Hour

#### How to play

This game consists of 3 simple rounds, with the winner of the most rounds winning either a custom magnet, if they are a caller, or the ultimate prize for the in-studio guest, they get the honor of switching places with Manolo with all rights and privileges that entails.

Manolo can choose to award a single point or not to each contestant after their turn.

Round 1: Sound effects. Each contestant has to make a positive, a negative, and a neutral sound effect using what they have at hand.

Round 2: Theme song. Each contestant must perform a theme song for the game of Jo's choice using whatever instruments they have available to them at that moment. (Jo chose the game named "Manolo of the Hour".)

## In-studio guests

Janie Stolar

Mike Kelton

#### How to play

Contestants are given set circumstances in which Beyoncé would not typically put herself. For this game, you must state the reason why she would be in such a circumstance. Most believable explanation takes the point. Manolo judges.

### Sounds Like a John to Me

#### Necessary background

Hi, Dr. Gameshow. I want to see how different people think, and from there, compare their thoughts to see who's better.

#### How to play

So I have provided a list of fictional character's names. Players must describe their physical appearance, the worst day of their lives, and speak a sentence in their voice.

### Name the Side Project

#### How to play

By using the names of two big bands, contestants would name the fictional side project of the combination of the two.

### Audio Choreographer

#### How to play

Contestants describe a beautifully choreographed dance from a fictional Broadway show of an already-existing movie. There are three rounds, each one shorter than the last one. The first round, you get a minute. The second round, you get thirty seconds and the third round you get fifteen seconds to describe an entire dance routine. If you tie, you will have to do a tie-breaker, and the tie-breaker is where you have to communicate the themes and actions of a dance in two words.

## Trivia

Manolo created some new original sound effects for this episode:

* trying to get Paul Rudd to turn around in a meat locker
* you know that episode of X-Files when Fox Mulder turns around and is about to get Scully's attention but he gets hit by a big spoon?

### Jo Firestone and the Legend of the Forgotten Flame Boulder

#### How to play

Jo gives a contestant the title of a YA [young adult] fiction novel, and they have forty-five seconds to give a plot synopsis. After each contestant goes once, Manolo awards a point to the best, most accurate synopsis. Remember, these are real books. In round 2, you get thirty seconds. In round 3, you get fifteen seconds.

### Extra Addams Relatives

#### How to play

The Addams family has a ton of extended relatives but each one is slightly less quirky than the last. Whoever can create and portray the most normal and least quirky relative wins. Players will take turns attempting to top the previous player in terms of normalcy. Manolo makes one noise if he thinks the new relative is weirder, and makes a different noise if he thinks the contestant needs to try again.

House rule proposed by Nat Townsend: in the case of a tie, the winning contestant is the one whose Addams relative is so normal that you would hire them.

### Which Wich is Which?

#### Necessary background

I am sitting directly next to you on an otherwise empty train. You are eating an elaborate sandwich.

#### How to play

If I name all of the ingredients in your sandwich, will you please tell me what the sandwich is called, and where you purchased (or obtained) it? Oh, also, there is one ingredient in each sandwich that I can't easily identify. What is that thing?

#### Ingredient combinations

1. A turkey's dream, five slices of the shivering fears of a winter tomato, and the idea of spinach all in a gluten-free plastic bag.
2. A low-density hamburger patty, two hard-boiled quail's eggs, and a few squeezes of air from an empty sriracha bottle, held firmly between two store-bought pie crusts.
3. A dead witch rolled up in a gluten-free sandwich wrap, served with a side of apple seeds.

### Zany Zoology

#### Submitted by

David Edelman (sp?) from Middletown, New Jersey

Life Lessons In A Hallway

## Episode page

Life Lessons In A Hallway (w/ Cipha Sounds) on earwolf.com

#### How to play

All the contestants have to do is pitch a prequel to anything: TV, movie, album, etc. Manolo is the judge. First to have 2 top marks from Manolo wins.

### Manolo Sometune

#### Submitted by

Pete Phillips from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

#### How to play

Manolo shares a childhood memory as inspiration, then players borrow Manolo's instrument of the week, or callers use whatever is available, and perform a short song that captures Manolo's essence, using any information they know about him, at the very least, his shared childhood memory.

While players work, Jo can throw them more details she thinks will help their songs. Manolo cannot assist.

Manolo rates each song 0-5, 5 being the best, and the highest rating wins.

### Dr. Hangout

#### Necessary background

On the previous episode of Dr. Gameshow, Brett Davis called in during voting and said he just wanted to hang out. So somehow through Facebook live voting and callers voting, Dr. Hangout won.

#### How to play

People are just going to call in and hang out.

## Trivia

As of this recording, Jo had never seen Friday Night Lights, the TV series. Whether she had seen the movie is unknown.

Jo has a friend named Patrick (sp?) who pronounces "syrup" as "surp" with one syllable. He'd be terrible at charades.

## Advice from Manolo

As the doors of opportunities close, life gets easier.
Printer

A **printer** is a major technology in the Sun Rain universe. The device is commonly found in the upper class and upper-middle class populace of the Solar System that can print things, such as paper, bricks, metal wires, firearm parts, and construction materials. 3D printers will only print certain parts and they require a license to own, use, and sell things from it, with each time it being used costing money. However, its most notable application is its use in the military to print battle supplies, its use in Castle Autonomous Armor for Centaurs, and self-replicating robots such as H.S.A.R. "Dunie", Vacuum Mouth.

## Overview

Printers are typically connected with one another in groups via underground cables and tubes to transport materials if it is detected that one needs more materials. Printers can be in groups of innumerable amounts so long as the materials are there to make more printers. They can also be used in conjunction with each other by being welded together in, again, innumerable amounts. They are able to make complicated things in one run: robots, houses with furnishing and food, armor, loaded firearms, and even A.I.-constructed serums for certain diseases. Approximately 42% of people own one.
A Victory for Trans Rights

## Episode page

Ep 22: A Victory for Trans Rights w/ Chloe Koser

#### Necessary background

In this game you are the descendant of famous mad scientists Dr. Moreau AND Dr. Frankenstein and you have decided to take over the world. However you have decided not to do it with monsters, but with capitalism! Muhahahahahahah muhuhuhahahahaha \*lightning\* \*crow caw\*

#### How to play

You are going to use your mad scientist abilities to create the ultimate hybrid animal to use as a pet. Want to make a lion the size of a gerbil with zebra stripes and fur like chinchilla? Go for it. Want a parrot the size of an elephant that you can ride everywhere with bumblebee fuzz instead of feathers? You got it. All animals are 100% docile and will never harm their owners… because science! The judges decide who has created the most adorable monstrosity of science and is the winner. Game is over when Jo declares "It's alive!" and laughs maniacally.

House rule: Jo won't laugh maniacally.

### Catversations

#### How to play

Cats have broken into the Dr. Gameshow studio with a lot on their minds. Contestants (as cats) must have a catversation: a conversation replacing any words or syllables with cat puns. For instance, "You've got to be kidding me," becomes "Mew've gotta be kitten me." Jo can direct the conversation or start debates as a facilitator.

The game ends when the conversation is over or Jo gets bored. Manolo chooses the winner based on how engaging the contestant is and how many cat puns were used. Feel free to get as lazy as possible with your cat puns.

### Josie’s Pocket

#### Submitted by

Josh Klopfenstein from Seattle, Washington

####  Necessary backgound

My four-year-old and I take walks and our cat Josie follows us and we play a game called Josie's Pocket.

####  How to play

Think of things that are in Josie's pocket. Whenever you take a turn you have to name everything that everyone has put in the pocket already and add a thing. When you forget a thing, you are not in the game anymore. The last person that can remember all the things in order is the winner.

## Trivia

Manolo had a girlfriend who nicknamed him Lizardpig.
Not Goodbye?

## Episode page

Dr. Gameshow Ep 11: Not Goodbye? w/ Josh Gondelman

#### How to play

Come up with a backstory for an everyday object where the inventor's last name is the name of the object. Short example: the bench was invented by Rick Bench to allow people to enjoy the park during the French Fire Ant Crisis of 1876. Manolo judges and awards custom magnets.

### I, AI

#### Inspired by

Carlos from Yukon, Oklahoma (see Manolo's Hidden Talent)

#### Submitted by

Alden Ford (also see Manolo's Hidden Talent)

#### How to play

You make a statement as a robot designed to do a particular task from the perspective of the robot. Manolo has to guess what kind of robot you are. For example: "I'm a horse for a cat," the answer would be a Roomba.

House rule: robot voice is extra, that's bonus.

### Childhood Nightmare / Dream Job

#### Necessary background

Let's bring together everyone's two favorite things: reliving embarrassing childhood stories, and filling out a résumé.

#### How to play

A contestant will share something embarrassing they did while under 16 *[editor's note: presumably years of age]*. The other contestants will then take turns spinning that into something that would sound good on a résumé.

For example: I was at a Catholic summer camp when I was 12 years old and I puked on a priest in church. Contestants could then say "I make a memorably first impression," or "I've shared lunch with religious leaders."

If Manolo hires them, they get a custom magnet. A bonus magnet goes to whoever has the story that makes Jo the most uncomfortable.

House rules: no bonus magnet, and you can't steal someone else's answer.

## Trivia

Manolo doesn't respond well to positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement.

All beaches are the edge of the beach.

Josh once ate butter thinking that it was ice cream, but not to completion.
12: Double Trouble

## Episode page

February 16, 2015: Dr. Gameshow Episode 12: DOUBLE TROUBLE! With Special Guests Chris Duffy and Jesse Galle

## Games played

### Dog Breed or Made-Up Nonsense Word

#### Submitted by

Curly Johnston (sp?) of Boulder, Colorado

#### How to play

Jo's gonna say them and on the count of three, you're gonna say whether it's a dog breed or nonsense.

### The Missing Ink

#### Necessary background

Everyone knows that certain tattoos have special meaning among the criminal element. A tattoo of a tear drop, for instance, means you killed someone. A tattoo of a cobweb represents a long prison sentence. Marketing consultants have determined that there is an untapped market for tattoos among suburban youth who want to appear tough and to assume a group identity, but don't want to murder people or get long prison sentences.

#### How to play

Jo will give you a lesser condition / offense. Please describe an appropriate tattoo. Keep in mind that the tattoos cannot be so obvious that prison officials / parents would automatically know what they mean. There must be plausible deniability. For instance, if the offense is "flosses infrequently," a tattoo of teeth with junk between them would be too obvious, but perhaps a smile to show pride, and a cartoon word bubble with swamp-like tendrils hanging off, to indicate offensive emanations from the mouth would be appropriate.

### Art Gallery for the Freshly Blind

#### Necessary background

As a result of a recent laboratory accident, you've both been blinded, but you're not going to let that get in the way of a trip you had planned to Expenso, the world's greatest art gallery, with every art ever, past, present and future. Copyrighted, Trademarked, and Registered.

#### How to play

Your friend takes you to each artwork and explains what they see. For example, it looks like someone on acid tried to draw a chess board. That would be Piet Mondrian, Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow. First person to guess the artwork, artist, or both, gets 1 or 2 points.

### Name the Mascot

#### Necessary background

Every school needs a mascot to represent them accurately, if not slightly more aggressively.

#### How to play

Jo's gonna describe a bunch of schools and you gotta tell her what the perfect mascot would be.

### Celebrity Imitations

#### How to play

People will do their best celebrity imitation. They get 1 point for everyone on the panel who can recognize they're imitating. And they get 1-5 points from each panel member depending on the quality. People may also call in and score imitators. So for example if Jo were to say, "Uhh, I want a piece of pizza. I'm a very temperamental man," what would you think that is? It's The Godfather.

## Trivia

This episode was two hours long. The second hour was dedicated to callers suggesting new game shows.

Manolo introduced new sound effects in this episode: a fish playing the drums.

The notorious game creator Harry Gensemer called into this episode, unless my ears deceive me.

Jo's dad Fred called in during Celebrity Imitations but called himself Nick, unless my ears deceive me.
Dr. Gameshow

**Dr. Gameshow** is a podcast and radio show hosted by Jo Firestone and Manolo Moreno.

The Dr. Gameshow theme is performed by Big Huge.

The name Dr. Gameshow refers to a hitherto unidentified doctor. It is unclear if Gameshow is the last name of this individual or the subject in which they are a doctor of. Some believe that Jo Firestone is one and the same as the titular Dr, as implied by lines in the theme tune, which is a theory that Jo has previously denied. Though this statement remains unconfirmed and may in fact be a classic ruse.
Path of Least Resistance

## Episode page

Path Of Least Resistance (w/ Jacqueline Novak, Mike Recine) on earwolf.com

## In-studio guests

Jacqueline Novak

Mike Recine

## On-phone guest

#### How to play

Jo will read one of the quotes [from Jacqueline's book How to Weep in Public] and players will have to guess whether it's from How to Weep in Public or one of the other humorous self-help books I have. If they feel it is Jacqueline's work they guess Novak. If they suspect it's from another book, they say Yes-vac.

Players are encouraged to buy How to Weep in Public to improve their chances, though Jacqueline has a distinct advantage, I have trouble identifying things I wrote three months ago, so maybe she will, too.

One point for a correct guess.

### Mix Master Manolo

#### How to play

It's a party and Manolo's the DJ. Players must work together to freestyle lyrics over Manolo's sick beats.

Over the beat of Manolo's creation, the first player freestyles a line or two, and then it's up to each consecutive player to do the same until they create the party jam of Jo's dreams. Each player must end their turn with a rhyme.

If a player deviates from the theme of the song or repeats a rhyme, then the round is over and everyone but that player gets a point. Play for three rounds or so and whoever has the most points at the end wins.

### Sue Dr. Gameshow

#### Submitted by

Nobody. This game was the previous week's winning game, although it was never played.

#### How to play

Players must give a pitch like one of the lawyer's commercials about why people should call and hire them for their lawsuit. Whichever lawyer Manolo would hire wins.

## Trivia

Mike has a dog named Frankie Wrinkles who has an Instagram page.
Mr. Geography

#### Necessary background

Small Tiny, the arch rival to the band Big Huge, is working on their next project: an album of cover songs, except all the lyrics are the opposite of the original song. Your job is to come up with the best song ideas.

#### How to play

Each round a player will choose a song and and sing it using opposite lyrics. The other players will try to guess the original song name and artist. If it is guessed correctly, the singer gets a custom magnet. Play until you have a full album.

Example: "Or he's selling the elevator to Hell" is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. Can be played "thunder square" style.

### Dr. Fridge

#### Necessary background

My name is Emma. I'm 21, living in Brooklyn and I'm about to get a pet snail. I'm a huge fan of the show, and had a dream last night of a game.

#### How to play

Contestants will call in to give the state they live in, the year they were born, and a special hobby of theirs. From this knowledge, Manolo and guests have to guess three items in their fridge.

If they guess three things correctly, they win.

House rule: lightning round!

### Gamehead VHS (AKA Game Person, PhD)

#### Necessary background

This is based on the knock-off Halloween costumes you find at budget superstores, specifically the costumes where the manufacturer doesn't pay for the rights, but still uses the character's image. Like the "Red jumping plumber" costume is obviously Super Mario, "evil weekday cutie" costume would be Wednesday Addams, "red space ninja costume" would be the Red Power Ranger and so on and so on…

#### How to play

The caller thinks of a character and describes it in these knock-off generic costume terms. The hosts take turns guessing who is the character based on the costumer description. If the host guesses correctly the character, then the caller wins, and gets a custom magnet sponsored by mustard.

House rule from previous guest John Wyatt Haskell: talk in a barely noticeably higher-pitched voice, like the quality of an old VHS tape.

## Trivia

The only dessert John Hodgman like is cheesecake.
Dr. Gameshow theme

The **Dr. Gameshow theme** debuted on the episode

WFMU13: Black Tie Optional[1], during the original WFMU run. It is performed by the band Big Huge.

Most of the Maximum fun episodes have closed out with various covers of the theme song across many genres.

## Lyrics

Ring ring on the telephone, it's Jo. Jo Firestone

Do we wanna play a game, tell her we're not home

But she needs to know, she's Doctor Gameshow

Gameshow, ooh

Tell me where it hurts, everywhere!
Sick to my stomach at the state of affairs
The answer is somewhere out there
But until we know, it's Doctor Gameshow
Gameshow, ooh
On your radio, it's Doctor Gameshow
Macho, Macho

#### How to play

My four-year-old loves to tell knock-knock jokes but she always uses the same formula:

> Knock knock
>
>

> Who's there?
>
>

> (say an animal or fruit)
>
>

> (the animal or fruit) who?
>
>

> (the animal or fruit, wearing something and doing something they wouldn't normally be doing)
>
>

Example: an orange dressed up like a banana singing "Let it Go" from Frozen.

Each player gives a knock-knock joke and if Manolo opens the door, they get a custom magnet.

### Silly, Silly Booger Farts

#### Necessary background

What is a sneeze but a silly, silly, booger fart?

#### How to play

Jo names a celebrity (or historical figure) and contestants imitate what they probably sneeze like.

### Chloe (AKA Dr. DQ)

#### Submitted by

saboteurs on the message board from the previous episode, with rules by Daphne from Salt Lake City, Utah and Chloe Koser, and Elias McComb from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

#### How to play according to Daphne and Chloe

Players describe their Dairy Queen Blizzard™ order and add a rule for the next player's order. Example: I want an Oreo Blizzard but from now on the Blizzards can't have the letter C in them. Also, the game is now called Chloe.

#### How to play according to Elias

Jo comes up with an acronym that she believes everyone knows what it stands for. The contestant has to come up with a different meaning for the acronym, and if Manolo likes it he says, "oh, yeah," and the contestant gets a magnet. Example: Jo says TBT and the contestant says "to be truthful."
Lightning Round

A house rule that indicates the following round of play should inspire tangential conversation and be played slower and less attentively than usual

It's possible that the name 'lightning round' is in reference to a common ruleset employed by other gameshows where the following round is intended to be played as quickly as possible, usually in a last sprint for points to make for a more dynamic competition. Dr Gameshow has yet to play any lightning round in this fashion

#### Necessary background

This is based on knock-off Halloween costumes, specifically the costumes where the manufacturer doesn't pay for the rights, but still uses the character's image. Like the "Red jumping plumber" costume is obviously Super Mario, "evil weekday cutie" costume would be Wednesday Addams, "red space ninja costume" would be the Red Power Ranger so on and so on…

#### How to play

The caller thinks of a character and describes it in these knock off generic costume terms.

### The Initial Incident

#### How to play

Players make up names for famous people who use initials instead of names! For example, T.S. Eliot could be "The Sims" Eliot.

If Manolo is tickled or amused by the funny name, players gets a custom magnet. If he is unimpressed, players get no magnet and must make up a new name using their own initials and go by that name from now on.

### Celebrity Bouncer

#### Necessary background

A brand new club has opened up in Fashion City! The one problem is that only celebrities are allowed to go in!

#### How to play

To win you must convince the bouncer (Manolo) with your best celebrity impression (real or fictional) that you are in fact that celebrity to get into said club. The game ends when the club owner (Jo) decides that the club is too full.

House rule: lightning round!

### Animal Afterlife

#### Necessary background

The recent tragic death of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe has gripped the world. So much so, that a self-proclaimed American animal psychic claims to have spoken to the spirit of Cecil the lion, who conveys his message of love and strength to humanity in light of his tragic death. What other messages to humanity do other now-sadly-deceased animals have to share with the world?

#### How to play

An animal is randomly chosen from a list by the show’s host. Each contestant must then attempt to channel the spirit of a deceased animal and share with the audience that animal’s message to humanity. Best message to humanity wins.

### I Could Lift That

#### How to play

If you can convince Dr. Gameshow and Manolo that you could probably lift something, whether or not you actually can, you win a point. Evaluation of lifting claims are based on confidence, coolness, and believability.

### Opposite Game

#### How to play

In this game, Jo and Manolo switch places, so Manolo is the host and Jo does sound effects and judging. Manolo says a word and the contestants have to say a word that is an opposite. Jo then judges which word is the true opposite of the word. For example, if the word is orange, then the contestants can say, like, red and apple, and which is the true opposite according to Jo?

Scooby-Doo character or candy bar. All of these are either a character from the Scooby-Doo universe or a candy from somewhere in the world. Right answer earns 2 points. If it's a candy, 3 points for guessing which country it's from. 5 bonus points for incorporating that candy's slogan into a jingle.

House rule: You get points if you get the right answer. You get to say whether it's from Scooby-Doo or it's a candy bar. And you're gonna get a bonus point if you can tell me what's in the candy bar.

### My Life or Movie Plot

#### How to play

Start with the oldest person and go clockwise. Each person tells a story and the rest of the group must decide if that story is from the teller's childhood or a movie they've seen. The group votes one way or the other, and each wrong vote gives the teller one point.

The game goes for two rounds. The stories must be short. Manolo does not have anything to do in this game, so he can just sleep if he wants to.

Secret rule: Manolo, after every sentence of each teller's short story, has to proclaim "What?" If a contestant calls it out, they get 2 points.

### I'm So Voice-Over It

#### Submitted by

Staff Sgt. Pierce currently stationed in Massachusetts

#### How to play

Movie producer Manolo is back again! Battleship was a hit movie that took absolutely no writing skill or reasonable budget to produce. Manolo wants to cash in on this easy opportunity of taking random tabletop games already out and squeezing them until they crap out a movie.

Contestants will use their best "movie guy voice" to belt out a trailer for the movie inspired by these tabletop games, because let's face it, the whole movie is going to be in the trailer anyways.

You get 1 point if Manolo likes your movie guy voice. You get 1 point for working in a Michael Bay action movie trailer BWAAAM sound. And then you get 3 points if Manolo decides to produce your movie. You gotta start with "In a world," and if you don't end with the movie title and a tagline, you get a point deducted.

Ep 19: Classic Dank Meme Mode w/ 9-year-old Xander

#### How to play

Jo will say the name of a thing and players will have to determine if said thing is either a) an enemy from the Super Mario game franchise, or b) an app I found by searching the word "dating" on the iOS App Store.

Correct answers get custom magnets. Bonus: if you guess incorrectly, you can still win if you describe what your answer would be if it was the opposite thing. If you guess Mario, and it was a dating app, describe a Mario enemy with that name. If you guess Dating App and it was a Mario enemy, describe the kind of people who would meet on a dating app with that name.

### Daily Tunes

#### How to play

Contestants must choose a popular song. They must then sing about the events of their day to the tune of the song.

Manolo picks the winner by deciding which tune he deems most worthy.

### Dr. Hot Water

#### Submitted by

saboteurs on the message board, with rules by Michael Cruz Kayne who likes to drink hot water

#### How to play

This requires a thermometer. Jo, Manolo and Xander have to listen to callers drink a full glass of hot water until they are done. Hosts and guests are quiet during the hot water drinking. Hosts and guests then have to guess how hot the water was in Fahrenheit degrees. If callers don't have a thermometer, they just have to go, "I think that's right, that seems right," to whatever temperature is guessed.

### Sit-called

#### How to play

Jo will give you a log line of a sitcom that doesn't exist and you will have to come up with the perfect name. For example: two lawyers who are caught in jail, someone might name that sitcom “Behind Bars and Pillars of the Legal System,” or "Barred." Manolo judges the best title.

### The Movie Game

#### Necessary background

This game tests your knowledge on movies, and the celebrities who've starred in them.

#### How to play

Person A will say a movie and then Person B will say an actor or actress in that movie, and then it'll go in a circle. If a player fails to think of an actor or a movie, they get a letter of the word "movie," the first person to spell m-o-v-i-e loses, no repeats, no sequels, no IMDb.

### Vitameaning

#### Necessary background

Lots of people take vitamins, but why do they do that?

#### How to play

Jo will list a vitamin, or where it comes from, or what it does, and you will tell her the other two.

### Home Alonin’ It

#### Submitted by

Barb Douglas (sp?) of St. Paul, Minnesota

#### How to play

You get a set of household objects and you must make the best booby trap. You will be deducted a point if you kill the robber. This is based on the popular movie, "Home Alone." Players get the same predicament and the same household objects.

House rule: Manolo judges the best answer.

*[Editor's note: there is a beautiful moment in this game when a caller named Joshua says what he would do if given a light bulb, a toaster, and some tape, and it makes me laugh like an idiot every time.]*

### Match the Stuffed Animal

#### How to play

Jo will say one stuffed animal and the players will have to say what person owns that stuffed animal. Manolo will be the judge of whoever gives the best answer and will make a great sound effect. For example, a teddy bear holding a heart would belong to a teen girl with a very lame boyfriend, or three beheaded dolls would belong to a three-year-old girl.

## Trivia

As of this recording, Gary and Ryan were roommates. Manolo also lived with someone, but not romantically, “he's just taller than me.”

Jo ordered the custom magnets from overnightprints.com – “no endorsement.”

Manolo introduced a new sound effect in this episode: “radio waves bouncing off varicose veins from an insecure person.”

### Blank! The Movie

#### How to play

Manolo is back at his movie producer chair. Players are given a company mascot or a product and must pitch the character in an exciting movie adaptation. Players get a point if Manolo green-lights the movie, and extra points if players create a movie theme tune.

### Manolo Versus Manilow

#### How to play

The first player chooses a word and pronounces it for the rest of the players. The rest of the players take turns giving alternate pronunciations of the selected word. Manolo awards a point for the best pronunciation. The players take turns starting each round. The first player to 3 points wins.

House rule: the last round is worth 2 points if the game is taking too long.

### The Apologist

#### How to play

Contestants take turns saying a deeply strange thing to the other contestants. They must then apologize in a sincere manner. 1 point is awarded for each other contestant that forgives them for the deeply strange thing that they said. The game continues until everyone has been deeply strange and whoever has the most points wins.

House rule: the 1 point that is awarded is awarded to the person doing the forgiving, not to the person that received forgiveness. *[Editor's note: I sincerely don't know if that's what The Weaver of Dreams intended.]*

## Trivia

Manolo is from Pennsylvania and people think that he does drugs, but he doesn't.

#### How to play

The setting for this game show is the wonderful, whimsical, magical land of Oz. While many fans only know of the original book, novelist L. Frank Baum actually wrote 15 entries in the Wizard of Oz series. After his death, the torch was passed on to a woman named Ruth Plumly Thompson, who then wrote an additional 21.

Contestants will have a character described to them, and they will then say Oz if they believe it is actually a character from the Wizard of Oz series, or Nahs if it is not.

Once the game has concluded, Glinda the good witch will appear before Jo and give her a pair of novel-accurate silver slippers. If Jo clicks her heels together three times and says "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home," she will have the power to make all last-minute game show suggestions disappear like a bad dream. There's only enough power in the slippers to do this once, however, so Jo will have to choose whether to use them in this episode or save them for a future episode.

### Pizza Burger

#### How to play

As we all know, Manolo is lovingly referred to as "Pizza Burger," a moniker which he truly embodies. In his honor, I have created a truly remarkable game for Jo and friends to play. In this game, Miss Firestone will read aloud the name of a menu item and players must guess if the food item is a pizza or a burger.

The list of pizzas and burgers has been provided and it's carefully curated from four of Peoria's best pizza / burger joints (Peoria Pizzaworks, Knuckles Pizza, The Burger Barge, or Khaki Jack's).

### Walking on Eggshells

#### How to play

This is barely a game, and yet incredibly difficult. Just talk about whatever with the callers and guests, but be careful. You don't want to lose. The game continues until only one player hasn't lost or until all players lose. You can lose multiple times. The rules will not be further explained. Start now.

##### How to Lose

1. Asking two questions in a row, that is, a question without a non-question sentence preceding it.
2. Mentioning the weather, temperature, or their own personal feeling of temperature-based comfort.
3. Using any of the words: enough, love, wow, can't, well, have, my, phone.
4. Not saying anything for a while: several other people each talking without you saying anything in an attempt to avoid breaking the rules.
5. Talking about pets.
6. Talking about who is doing the best or worst at the game.
7. Talking about work.
8. Asking if you lost or broke a rule.

## Trivia

### The Worst Game Ever

#### How to play

Contestants compete to ruin otherwise-perfectly good board games. Jo will name a classic board game and players take turns changing one element of that game to make that game terrible. After each round, Manolo will judge who made the game the worst. For example, if the game Jo names is Pictionary, a contestant could change the pencil that you draw with to a hot dog, or the paper that you draw on to human skin. That would really ruin the game.

### Dr. Gumshoe

#### Necessary background

Contestants: you are a rookie detective who just solved his/her first big mystery. Everyone, beat cops, concerned citizens, the press, everyone wants to know how you figured it out.

#### How to play

Jo will describe a crime as well as the person you have arrested for the crime. You have forty-five seconds to explain how you got from one to the other. Manolo awards a point to the winner of each round based on creativity and narrative consistency. He may also award bonus points for including a MacGuffin or a red herring.

### Poocha Libre

#### Necessary background

There are few things more divisive amongst people than professional wrestling, and few things more unifying than adorable doggies. So why not combine them?

#### How to play

Jo will name a breed of adorable puppy and contestants will have to think of that dog's wrestling name and backstory and/or gimmick. Manolo can choose based on whichever is funnier to him, or which he'd find more intimidating. He has to choose before the game starts.

## Manolo's something to live on for the next week

If you wanna be a comedy nerd, know the difference between Will Forte and the other guy.

## Trivia

Aaron is a cuddler-folder, like a baby bird, or young royalty.

On the day of this recording, Manolo did a couple push ups, then clapped three times, as if to say "job well done." He also ate a vegetable sandwich.

Bowen Yang called into this episode to play Dr. Gumshoe.

### Pokémon or Medication

#### How to play

Jo will say the name, and the contestants will say if they think it's a Pokémon character or a medication. If they guess correct, they get 1 point. They can also guess what the Pokémon does or what the medicine treats, and they get 3 additional points. Winner has the most points.

### Where The Toys Are

#### How to play

Each player takes turns thinking of a well-known toy and must describe their toy in only two words. The two describing words cannot match any words used in the name of the toy. For example, rearrangeable face is a way to describe Mr. Potato Head, or building bricks for Lego.

Other players must take turns guessing what the toy is, and players get 1 point for every correct answer, and you can earn 2 extra points if they can sing the jingle associated with the toy.

### Orca or Orchestra

#### How to play

Players have to choose whether a word is related to orcas or musical instruments. While guessing, players must provide their own definition for each word, much like the game Balderdash. These definitions do not earn points, but will up the hilarity factor of the game. Correct guesses are worth 10 points. Incorrect guesses push the orca closer to extinction.

## Trivia

String cheese can string, and it can bring, and it's a eatable stick.
…O …W

#### Necessary background

This is inspired by my nephew who is 4 and just started to tell jokes. He only has a couple and they are all 'sandwhich' based.

#### How to play

Jo names a fantastical character. Guests name the character's favorite 'sandwhich.' If Manolo agrees that it would be that character's favorite sandwhich, they get a point. Bonus point if Manolo would eat the sandwhich.

Example: Santa Claus’ favorite 'sandwhich' is Peanut Butter and Jolly.

### Dream a Little Dream of TV

#### How to play

Players take turns describing the premise of a popular TV show of their choice as if it were a dream they had, without referencing anything that would too easily identify the show. Everyone else then tries to guess what the TV show is being described is. If you guess correctly, you get a point. You can get extra points for guessing extra quickly, or for describing the TV show convincingly as if it were a real dream, as judged by Manolo.

### What Would Potato Cat Do? (AKA Potato Cat)

#### Submitted by

11-year-old Sophie from New York City, New York

#### How to play

Jo gives a situation and players have to guess what Potato Cat would do. For example, there's a burning building. Manolo says Potato Cat would just wait for twenty minutes then roll to the other side so they can roast evenly. And then Sophie says Potato Cat would be like "I'll save you," but then is like "Oh, wait, there's potatoes over there. Maybe later."

## Trivia

Jo has never won a board game, and has never played chess, and will never play chess.

Checkers was Nixon's dog. Richard Nixon.
