“So, I am a game show host, and I’m kind of the funny one. I announce the winner — not you! Okay?”
So, I am a game show host, and I’m kind of the funny one. I announce the winner — not you! Okay? We have two contestants: Joe and Bob. Okay, I think I should tell you my name… My name is… the host!!! Don’t call me anything else. Especially not my real name, which I’m not going to tell you.
Fine, I’ll tell you. My name is beep.
I won’t tell you my name. Hahahaha.
“Now it’s time for the Game Show. Bob, you can go first.”
“Hi, I’m Bob! I’m doing this so I can raise money for nothing! And I’m super dumb. Just so you know.”
“Thanks, Bob, for coming to this Game Show. Now Joe, introduce yourself.”
“Name’s Joe! I’m here because I have no reason… Okay. Done with my interview.”
“Great. I ask the questions, just so you know. You press the button, and whoever gets it first gets to answer the question. And if you don’t get it right, you transfer $1 to the other team. If you have $0, you still lose $1, so you will have -$1. And if you end on a minus, you have to pay us!”
“So my first question is: who won the 2018 FIFA World Cup?”
Beep!
“Okay! Joe, you pressed the button.”
Joe says, “France!”
“He is right. Because he’s an expert in soccer. Also, if you win, you get $10. Actually $15. Actually no, $10. So Joe has $10, and Bob has $0. The next question is: Hmm… let me think. I didn’t prepare for the questions because I didn’t have time. Who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup?”
Beep!
“Spain!”
“Bob is wrong! It’s the future, so nobody knows. So Bob has to give $1 to Joe. Now Joe has $11 and Bob has -$1.”
“Aw. So much for my guess.”
“Now another question. What’s 100 plus 100?”
Beep!
“150!” says Joe.
“Wrong! Okay.”
Beep!
“150!” says Joe.
“You already said that! I said no!”
Beep!
“150!” says Joe.
“Oh my gosh, you’re annoying me so much! It’s not 150!!!”
Beep!
“150!” says Joe.
“Okay, I’ll tell you the right answer! It’s 200!”
Beep!
“200!” says Joe.
“It’s too late! You can’t copy me! You have to give the other team $4! Now Bob has $3, and Joe has $7. Okay, next question. Who is the dumbest person here?”
Beep!
“Me!” says Bob.
“You’re right! You get $10! Now Bob has $13, and Joe has $7! So because this question is super, super hard, it’s worth $50.”
Joe and Bob gasp.
“The question is: where do babies come from?”
Beep!
“Baby co.”
“No!”
Beep!
“I have no idea.”
“No, you’re wrong!”
“Okay, that’s the end of the question. No one got it.”
“No!
“That’s the end of the game show, guys! It’s time to tally up all the work… Dang it! I forgot all of the scores.”
Joe and Bob faint.
The End.
