03x13 - An Obituary for Someone Who Definitely Faked Their Own Death

[bunniefuu]

- [Sam] Tonight, pretty
sure this is secretly

an episode of "Game
Changer", it's Vic Michaelis.

- Okay.

You've been here the whole time!

But in case this is an immunity
idol, I am taking this, so.

- [Sam] Walking on ice skates
on land, it's Mimi Von Schack.

- This carpet's thick!

My tights match my boots.

- [Sam] Running so early
for a job interview

the lights in the building aren't even on,

it's Maame-Yaa Aforo.

- I'm here to apply for
the housekeeping gig?

Thank you!

You're such a doll.

- [Sam] They're all here to...
- Make some noise!

[cheerful music]

- Welcome to "Make Some Noise",

the game so good we spun it off unchanged.

I am your host, Sam Reich.
Here's how the show works.

I have here a series of
improvisational prompts

our players have never seen before.

Isn't that right, players?

- If you say so.
- Never seen them.

- I don't like reading.

- They will, to the best of their ability,

fulfill those prompts,

I will award them corresponding points,

and the winner will go home
with the coveted golden ear,

which has a doctor's
appointment on Thursday

and it is the winner's
responsibility to take it.

Players, are you ready to rumble?

- I guess.

- I need verbal consent
from all three of you.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Here? Yes.

- This is a little game we like
to call Take Some Direction.

How it works is, players,
I'm going to give you

a line of dialogue to repeat
again and again and again.

As you do, I'm going
to give you direction,

micro-adjustments, if you will,

in order to affect your performances.

Does that make sense?
- Yes.

- I love to act.

- I love this 'cause
it's like "Groundhog Day"

or the Hallmark movie "Round and Round".

- Okay, promo alert.

- Vic, your line is, with
no direction at first,

from "When Harry Met Sally",
I'll have what she's having.

- I'll have what she's having.

- Mimi, give me a little bit more.

- I'll have what she's having.

- Maame-Yaa, give me a little bit more.

- I'll have what she's having.

- [Sam] Vic, like a
brainwashed Stepford wife.

[softly]
- I'll have what she's having.

- [Sam] Mimi, as a protest chant.

[shouting]
- I'll have what she's having!

- [Sam] Maame-Yaa, full
of Southern hospitality.

- I'll have what she's having.

- [Sam] Vic, threatening
a hostile takeover.

- And if you don't like it,

you can have I'll have what she's having.

- [Sam] Mimi, introducing
a Vaudeville act.

- Coming up to the
stage is a little number

that we like to call I'll
have what she's having.

Put your hands together!

- [Sam] Maame-Yaa, answering
a Miss USA pageant question.

- I'll have what she's having!

Thank you!

- [Sam] Vic, subtly signaling
to your significant other

that you want to leave the party.

- Yeah, I will have what she's having.

Yeah, that's so...

Yeah, I'll have what she's having.

- [Sam] Mimi, lip syncing for your life.

- I'll have what she's having.

- Last but not least, Maame-Yaa,

as a hit new Britney song.

♪ Ding ding ding ding ding
ding, ding ding ding ♪

♪ I'll have what she's having ♪

- And that's a minigame!
- Release when?

[cheerful music]

- That brings us all the way to round one.

Players, are you feeling warm?

- Yeah.
- I guess.

- Feeling sore already, so yeah.

- Vic.
- Yes.

- The ugly duckling calls their agent

about the title of the book.

- Hi, Bobby.

Yeah, no, it's Ugly. Mm-hm.

I got the copy you sent, yes,

and I got the fruit basket, I loved it.

I thought that the
title we were going with

was sort of "A Tale from
Peril from Pond to City,

and I just was a little bit confused.

Yeah, no, I mean, the
fruit basket was beautiful.

Again, I'm just sort of like,

I want to make sure that
it's about my journey,

and I get my thing is sort of like,

the ugly duckling, whatever.

I'm a swan now, I don't know
why we gotta stick with that.

You know what I'm saying?

Uh-huh, yeah, the fruit basket, again,

is beautiful, and I love it.
[buzzer buzzing]

- I will cut you off there, Vic.

- First name Ugly, last name Duckling.

- Duckling.

- Really gotta look into changing that.

- Well, it's a brand now, right?

We're all brands, and so
it's like you're stuck.

- No publicity is bad publicity

amount of points for you, Vic.

- It's true.
- I'm going to call that 30.

- Mimi.
- Yeah?

- A set PA on a power trip.
- Oh my god. [laughs]

- Listen, this is not a
comment on anyone here.

- Hey, guys! Guys!

Guys! I don't want to be
the bad guy here, all right?

But we have talent moving
in. We have talent moving in.

Guys!

Hey, guys! I'm not
coming in on the walkie.

Guys!

He's got a hard out. Hard out, guys!

- Hard out. Hard out.

- Anyone have any Nature Valley bars?

I want something crumbly

that's going to be on my shirt all day.

Guys?

Who's got the mini waters? Guys!

- Hey, Mimi, we're set.

- And actually, can you lock up the door?

- Oh yeah, sure.
- You're doing a lot.

- Did you guys find out who my dad was?

'Cause that's kind of
important for you to know.

[buzzer buzzing]
- And I'll cut you off there.

Dad was an infamous set PA.

- Your dad is Calvin Dropout.
- The Calvin Dropout.

- I don't think my father, Calvin Dropout,

would be pleased to know this
is how you treat your set PAs.

- Hey, you know what, first of all,

a quick shout out to all of our set PAs.

- Yeah.
[all cheering]

- The ones who keep things running.

- Mimi, we will say 67 points for them.

But also, great job to you.

- Seemed good, and then took a turn.

- Thanks guys, but if someone could get me

that Nature Valley bar.

- Maame-Yaa.
- Yeah.

- Oprah giving everyone
a free giant tortoise.

- Thank you all for being here today.

You're in my presence, so you're welcome.

I heard there are a couple
people in the audience

who want a pet, not a dog, not a cat,

but a tortoise?

Look under your seat.
Look under your seat!

You get a tortoise, you get a
tortoise, you get a tortoise!

And on top of that,

we're giving you your
very own tortoise case!

[Mimi screams]

Donated by Chanel.
[Mimi moans]

Did you even know?

Now, when you post this
on your social media,

make sure to tag me,

because I want people to
know where you got it from.

- I will cut you off
there, Maame-Yaa. Yeah!

We will say 150 years
worth of points for you.

- Oh boy, that's huge.

- Vic.
- It's like Christmas,

if Christmas was scary,

waiting for these prompts to come up.

- It's like Christmas-
- What's going to happen?

- ...if the gift had a
high expectation of you.

- If the gift was going
to clip in perpetuity,

you know what I mean?

- If you think about
opening a gift and wanting

to put on a show for the
people who got it for you-

- Oh, yes.
- Oh my gosh.

- It's kind of the same.
- Absolutely.

Oh, I love it!

I love it!

I love it! I love the prompt!

- An obituary for someone

who definitely faked their own death.

- I'm a newspaper.
- Yep.

- Cassandra was an amazing friend,

sister, coworker, and friend.

This is from Cassandra's
good coworker friend Barbara,

who is writing this, who is
alive, but Cassandra is dead.

We loved her so much, despite
all of her tax problems.

It is so unfortunate that the only way

to get rid of tax
problems is through death.

Her life insurance policy,
which all went to her dog,

which is legal in the state of Kentucky,

was made available after
the unfortunate accident.

Cassandra never got to go to Fiji,

but her dog and her dog's handler,

who looks like Cassandra
but is not Cassandra,

are enjoying that policy now.

May she rest in peace, question mark.

Ha ha, LOL, no. Truly,
may she rest in peace.

And then it's wind. The
newspaper blows away in the wind.

[buzzer buzzing]
- Incredible, Vic.

I was going to ask if you
were going to fold yourself

back up there at the end or what.

- No no no, it's on a bench.

The newspaper is on a
bench, and it opens up,

and then blows away in the wind.

- Sorry, where does it blow to?

- It blows away, and then it falls,

and then it hits a wall, oh no.

And then what happens?

Somebody picks it up, ba*ls it up,

and then uses it for
wrapping paper for a present.

- Oh!

- We open it Christmas morning. Ah!

They didn't like the gift but
they're acting very surprised.

- Was it this prompt?
- It was this prompt.

- Yeah, that makes sense.



in Argentina for you.
- Whoa!

- International, baby.

- I'd love to know the
conversion rate on those points.

- Mimi.
- Papa.

- Cruella de Vil's evil plot

to find forever homes
for 101 rescue puppies.

- Ooh!

[Mimi coughs wealthily]

What I'm gonna do, I'm
gonna find those puppies,

each and every one of them

more soft and delicious than the last.

And then I'm gonna take those puppies,

and I'm gonna find lots
and lots of couples.

Couples that maybe can't conceive.

Couples who are looking to
fill a hole in their marriage.

Maybe single people who
feel a pit in their stomach.

[Mimi cackling]

And it's gonna act as a stand-in child,

and they will pay hundreds
and hundreds of dollars

in pet insurance that they will never use!

[buzzer buzzing]
- I love that, Mimi.

- I would like to sign up.

- That one felt very close to home.

- I definitely don't
think my dog is my kid.

- No!

- Definitely didn't save my marriage.

- I don't feel that way
about my son. My dog.


home for you for that.

- Baby, come on!

- Which brings us to the
last prompt of round one.

Maame-Yaa.

Your grandmother gives us
her review of this show.

- So, you are going to make joke on TV.

Oh, but I've prayed
for you to be a doctor.

You are so smart,

why will you come and gesture
with these white people

like I didn't come from Ghana
to make a better life for you?

Do you know how much I pray

for the blood of Jesus to wash over you?

You need some healing.
Go and get me some water.

[buzzer buzzing]
- I will cut you off there.

Damn, Maame-Yaa.

- And that was a page out of my diary.

- I think I'd like to use my
immunity idol for Maame-Yaa.

- Three generations' worth of points.

- Wow!
- Huge.

- That brings us to our second minigame.

This is a little minigame we
like to call Make It Sing.

How it works is, players,
I am going to present you

with an object and a noise.

It will be your job to make
said object make said noise.

Malachai, can I have you
come out here please?

Thank you so much.
- Oh wow.

- Malachai is going to play an instrument

called the hurdy-gurdy for us.

You will be responsible for
playing exactly what he did,

exactly as well, understood?
- I'm starting to cry.

- Now, luckily for you, I
will only be judging you

relative to one another.
- Okay.

- Malachai, it's over to
you. I can't wait for this.

[soulful hurdy-gurdy music]

[soulful music continues]

- That's it?
- That's it!

- Wow, Malachai. What a talent.

- It really does sort of sound like

sort of a combination
of a string instrument-

- Bagpipe?
- ...and the bagpipes.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- It is a combination
of both of those things.

- Yeah, what is the origin of this?

- Are we allowed to ask where it's from?

- This instrument has been
played in roughly this form

in Western Europe for
the last thousand years.

It is the oldest chordophone,
string instrument.

See the string coming off?

- A chordophone, that was what I thought.

- You said, actually, when he came out-

- Before, I was like, I
hope there's a chordophone.

Chordophone, chordophone,
chordophone. I keep saying.

- Mimi, we'll start with you.

- What if I end up being amazing at this?

Have we considered the fact that-

- I feel like you're a natural.

- [Sam] Exactly!

- Can you do this with acrylics?

- Of course.
- Okay, perfect.

- Of course!
- Saddle her up.

[somber muffled hurdy-gurdy music]

It's like a firefighter died.

It feels like it's a funeral procession

for one of New York's finest.

- I mean, that was really good.

- Beautiful.
- I think that was-

- Beautiful.
- ...pretty good.

- I don't want to brag, but
I am a chordophone expert.

But I've never seen one
like this, so I don't know

if I'll be as good.
- The same.

- I'm somehow not surprised.
- The same.

- If this is a ringer situation

and you end up being incredible,

I'm going to storm off the set.

[discordant hurdy-gurdy music]

[discordant music continues]

- And bounce that a*s up and down,

and bounce that a*s to and fro.

And shake it, baby, shake
it. Drop it to the floor.

Right.
- Yeah.

- Wow, okay.

- So it was a little different from

the other ones I've played.
- Yeah, than you remember.

- You can dance to chordophone.

- Can I ask you a favor?
- Of course.

- And this is, of course,
up to your comfort level.

Can I put this back on your lap?

- Yes.
- Amazing.

How comfortable are you
with sort of holding hands?

- Do what you will.
- Perfect, okay,

so we're just going to do
exactly what you did before,

but I'm going to place my hands
on top of your hands, okay?

Here we go. Ready, and here we go.

[upbeat hurdy-gurdy music]

- Wow.
- Wow.

- Really romantic.

- Is this what you were hoping for, Sam?

- So good!
- Yeah, wow.

- Wow.
- Wow.

- Thank you, I appreciate you time.

- Beautifully done, beautifully done.

- Vic, they of the loophole.

- Thank you for saying that.

- I am going to say
that point goes to Mimi.

I think that Mimi had
the closest authentic-

- So crazy-

- And I literally have played that

my whole life, but whatever.

[cheerful music]

- That brings us to round
two, where our players

will now test their
talents in teams of two.

Vic.
- Yes.

- Mimi.
[Mimi gasps]

The quicksand is really sorry
it's gotta do this to you.

- Hop in.

- No, I don't want to get my hair wet.

- Listen, I don't want to do
this any more than you do.

Hop in, come on.

I got a quota to fill. It's not personal.

- Oh my god.
- There we go, okay.

- Oh, it's warmer than I thought.

- Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

- It's kind of like someone peed.

- Listen, so I'm sorry now, right?

I don't like doing this

any more than you do, but it's a job.

- Well, you don't have
to. You don't have to.

- And I wish I didn't.
- You don't have to.

- It's one of those things
where it's a nine to five.

- Well, no, hold on.
Now, hold on, hold on.

Now, if there was a situation,

I'm just sort of spitballing here,

wherein maybe sort of a hunky rustic guy

were to throw me a vine.
- Oh, sure.

- Grabbed onto it with my
mouth. Would that stop things?

- Well, of course. It would
legally have to end things.

But it's one of those things
where I got a quota to hit.

It's a nine to five, don't do that to me.

- All right, listen. It's a
hard job market, I get it.

- Right, so we're just gonna go up here.

- I'm in marketing.
- And like that.

Look, I got dreams. I
want to be a singer, okay?

[Mimi coughing]

- No, and listen, I get it.

I do not want there to be
any bad blood, all right?

That is the last thing I want.
- Amazing.

- I don't want to come
into your... [gurgling]

- I just don't feel people
see me, you know, for me.

- Oh my god, I totally get that, you know?

When I got my communications degree,

I thought, you know what,

I'm never going to be
able to be my own boss.

- Is that true?
- So I get it.

Yeah, it is true.

- Four year education,
you still feel like that?

- Well, you know what... [gurgling]

- That's crazy.

- It's my fault for doing liberal arts!

[buzzer buzzing]

- OMG.

- The quicksand had the vibe
of a hairdresser, as well.

Wow, 65 points that are coarse and rough

and irritating and get everywhere.

- Hell yeah.

- Mimi and Maame-Yaa.
[Mimi gasps]

Reading a book and watching TV

vying for your time before bed.

[bombastically]
- Hey, buddy!

You like prank callers and loud noises?

Boom! I got both!

[gently] - Do you like
chamomile and comfort? Because-

- What about a respectable
amount of titty?

Just enough 'cause it's 10 o'clock, baby,

and we can see just a little
underboob, let's do it.

- Laura Ingalls Wilder was a maverick.

- Tosh 2.0 is on!

- It was so cold that we cured our meats

and put them in jars, for
the winter was coming.

- Buy things, buy things, buy things!

- Think of how it was before electricity,

with your 12 brothers and
sisters in a log cabin.

- You know what you don't have?

Enough stuff, enough
friends, or enough time.

Blue light and overstimulation,
capitalism, let's go!

- Imagine placing yourself in a time

where the frills and
distractions didn't exist.

- Imagine frills and distractions.

[buzzer buzzing]
- I'm going to be honest,

you're making it a tough choice.

- I know the choice that I
made in my personal life.

- I made myself one to fall asleep, so.

- Thin line between books and audiobooks,

from audiobooks to podcasts.
- Yeah.

- And from then, you can
call anything reading.

- That's true.
- Subtitles.

- I didn't watch
Vanderpump, but I read it.

- I'm more of a fan of
the Scandolval the book.

- Yeah, let's say your
brain's attention span

amount of points for both of you.

- It's different for everybody.

- It's a low amount of points.

- Maame-Yaa.
- Yes.

- And Vic.
- Oh, baby!

- A therapist can't get past the fact

their client hasn't seen "Titanic".

- Yeah, I mean, just being
home for the holidays

I think has been hard, but
it's one of those things

where I know it's the right thing to do.

I know it's the right thing
to travel to go see them,

because they're getting older,
and it's one of those things

where we're just finding a
lot of common ground now,

so we do a lot of movies, which is nice.

- Have you tried watching
"Titanic" with your parents?

- No, I don't like boats that much,

but we have been doing a lot of-

- Wait, I'm so sorry,
I just want to clarify

that you said you have not seen "Titanic".

- Oh, I don't like boat stuff.

It makes me a little bit fearful.

- Boat stuff?

Honey, the Titanic was
not a boat. It was a ship!

If not the most famous ship of all time.

- Okay, yeah. I'll put it on the list.

But anyway, so we're
doing the kind of thing

where it's like, you know,
we're all saying what we mean,

but it's not really saying what we mean.

- So you didn't see the scene

with Rose's boob and
the hand on the window.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- Okay, this is where the
dating issues are coming from.

- What do you mean? My
dating life is going well.

- I'm so sorry, I've just never met anyone

with no reference point for
the iconic film "Titanic".

It seems like you are a weirdo.

- No, no, I'm not a weirdo.

[buzzer buzzing]
- I will cut you off there.

I like when the therapist
called you a weirdo.

- Weirdo!

- That's a red flag.
- Take her license away.

- Let's say only the highest grossing

amount of points of all time.
- Whoa! Okay!

- Which brings us back to Vic.
- Yes.

- Mimi.
[Mimi screams]

Two morning show hosts
out-pleasant each other.

- Good morning, it is sunny
here in downtown San Antonio.

I am Beth.
- And I'm Joyce. [laughs]

- And we are here to wish you a...

- [Both] Very happy morning!

- And I gotta tell you, hon,
you've never looked better.

- Oh, stop.

I knew that I looked
good because when I saw

my reflection in your crystal clear eyes-

- Oh, come on!
- I said, wow!

- Oh, come on! It's just Visine
and the love of a good man.

- Oh wow.
- That's what it is.

And I have to tell you, it
is the most beautiful morning

I've ever seen in my absolute life.

- It is like god came down
and touched San Antonio

and said, let it be clean!

- And then god said, let
me swing by her house

and give her a dash of
my little god magic.

- Oh, stop. Hey, can I say?

I only know who god is

'cause I see it in you every single day.

- Oh my god!

- It's true, it's true, it's true!

- Well, I do find that sacrilegious,

but no one gives a compliment like you.

- Thank you, thank you. Hey, hey.

I'd give it all up and I'd
follow you anywhere you go.

- Oh, come on.

- You're my god now.

- Well, I'll tell you what I would do.

I would part those red
seas for you, honey.

- Okay!
- Moses, bring her on through.

- Water, water everywhere,
but not a drop to drink.

I am the albatross around your neck.

Let's get to the news here.

There was a car crash on
the 401. A lot of deaths.

- And I'm reading here, nuns
and children. Oh my goodness.

- Yeah, that's tough.
[buzzer buzzing]

- Wow, holy sh*t.
- That was amazing.

- 45 bubbly and insecure
points to the both of you,

which brings us to Mimi and Maame-Yaa.

A boss confronts their employee,

who believes they are in a musical.

- Hey, boss. You wanted to see me?

- Yes, Cheryl.

We have been having some issues

with you and the customers on the floor.

This is Walmart.

It's a little heightened,
your personality,

and we've had a couple complaints

that you're making people uncomfortable.

- Complaints, about me?

- Yes, there was an incident,

and I'm sure you know
what I'm referring to.

You don't?

- No, I just wanted you to
know that I was listening.

- Cheryl, you can't take
other people's children

and push them around the store in a cart

as if you're in "Oliver".

It's become an HR issue,

and I have been asked to reprimand you.

- I guess that means we're at the moment

where all hope is lost.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd
like to say a few words,

and then take about a 25 minute break.

Maybe everybody could go out and get

peanut M&Ms and $11 sodas.

- Cheryl, I'm going to have to
ask you to leave for the day.

♪ It's my moment alone ♪

- Security.
[buzzer buzzing]

- And I will cut you off there.

I love interrupting here
while she's singing...

♪ It's my moment alone ♪

- You're never really
alone when you're onstage.

- Let's say five points,
and then a quick reprise

of the same five points.
- Bring it back around.

- Maame-Yaa.
- Yeah?

- And Vic.
- Oh, baby!

- A quick survey about your
experience with life so far.

- Thank you so much for taking the time

before you enter the pearly gates,

we really appreciate your feedback here.

Okay, so we were just wondering,

where are you from on Earth?

- I am from the Midwest.
- Oh, amazing. What part?

- Wisconsin.
- Zip code?

- 43-
- Home address?

- So many questions, sorry.

Please bear with me.
- No problem.

We're just going to get
right into the survey here.

- Okay, yeah yeah yeah.
- Okay.

How'd you like it?

- Meh, give or take, you know.
- Okay, yeah.

- I didn't have a job for most
of it, so it was difficult.

- Sure.
- Wisconsin is very cold.

- Oh, brr! Not up here,
it is so warm in there.

We're going to get you
in there in one second.

I just have seven more questions, okay?

Okay, good?

- Life?
- Am I good at this?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Amazing.

- I would say so.

- Your feedback is really important.

You're going to get a text
message on your heaven phone.

- Okay.
- If you could just go ahead

and answer that survey,

when that comes in.
- For sure.

- It really means a
lot to me, Saint Peter,

so that's my name, so
if you want to kind of-

- Oh my god, I thought
you looked familiar.

- Here we go, did you think

you were going to make it to heaven?

If not, why?

- Honestly, no. But here I am.

- Here you are, yeah, absolutely.

And then, so this is sort of
a followup question to that.

Do you believe in god?

- Does it matter? Does it weigh one way?

- We're going to find out.
- Yes. Yes, I do.

- Amazing, okay. Right answer.
- Okay, yeah. Yes, I do.

- Whew!

[buzzer buzzing]
- I think that's a good spot.

We're going to find out.

That's kind of a giveaway right there.

On a scale from one to ten,

I mean, 10 points for the both of you.

- Oh wow.
- Wow!

- Heaven sent.

[cheerful music]

- That brings us to our
third and final minigame.

This is a minigame that I
like to call Dubble Threat.

How this is going to work is, Mimi,

I am going to ask for you
to stand in the play area

over here in front of the door.

Vic and Maame-Yaa, I am going
to ask for the two of you

to enact a scene from a
musical called Backup Singers.

Now, Maame-Yaa, I know you can
sing, and that's good news.

Vic?
- Yeah?

- When it comes time to sing.
- Mm-hm?

- Mimi is going to provide
your singing voice.

- Right, okay.

- This is one of the biggest honors.

- Okay.

- Take it away whenever you're ready.

- So how long have you known Sal?

- Oh.

Sal's my dad.

- Oh, you're one of those nepo babies.

- It's not like that.

Hey, you seem really confident.

- I am.

What do you want to know, kid?

- How do I get to be you?

My entire life, I feel like

I'm watching these shows from the rafters.

My mom used to be a backup singer,

and I would just watch her sing,

and I'm like, I want to do that.

- Honey, I can see it in your heart.

You've got that sparkle.

You get out on that stage
and you leave everything.

- Everything?

- Even if it don't sound
good, they won't know.

- Even if it doesn't sound
good, they won't know?

- Even if it don't sound good.

- Even if it don't sound good.

♪ They won't know ♪

♪ Da-da da-da da da ♪

♪ Da-da da-da da ♪

♪ Even if it doesn't sound
good, they won't know ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a nepo baby,
'cause I'm a nepo baby ♪

♪ My dad is famous, that
makes me famous by proxy ♪

♪ If you want to make it big ♪

♪ All you gotta do is make it rigged ♪

♪ Now we do a little dance across stage ♪

♪ Dance across stage ♪

♪ Make everyone in the
audience know why they paid ♪

♪ Why they came ♪

♪ But that's okay ♪

♪ Because you're a nepo baby ♪

♪ And now I'm gonna try scatting ♪

[Mimi scatting]

♪ Jazz ♪

[Mimi scatting]

[buzzer buzzing]
- I like that a lot!

- You've got the stuff, baby.

- Nothing says musical to me

like scatting and body
rolls at the same time.

[cheerful music]

That brings us to round
three, where our players

will now hold hands and jump
into the abyss together.

- Here we go!
- Vic.

- Yes?
- Mimi.

- Mm!
- Maame-Yaa.

- Yeah.
- Friends after a movie

trying to convince each other
they care about the credits.

- Good movie, huh?

- Classic.
- Oh my god.

- Brilliant.
- Classic.

Every time I think Katherine
Heigl's done, she comes back.

- Sorry, you guys.

One of my friends was the
second craft services.

- We gotta stay and see it.
- Yes.

- And you know me, I gotta
know who the best boy was.

- And then for me, I didn't know anybody,

but I'm just like, they-
- They worked so hard.

- They worked so hard.

- They deserve to be seen, you know?

- This is long.

- The song is ending, though.
Oh, and a new one's starting.

- It's a cover.

- Excuse me, in the front? Do you mind?

Sorry, we're trying to see the credits.

- Oh, this is my favorite part.

The Australian second
team. I love this part.

- I actually dated someone
who was a key grip,

so keep an eye out for them.
- Oh no!

Did he work on this movie?
- No.

[buzzer buzzing]
- I will...

Let's say an Australian team
worth of points for all of you.

- Wow, that's a lot.

- There's 900 people on that team.

- That's a lot.

- The penultimate prompt
of our whole game.

Vic.
- Yes.

- Mimi.
- Oh!

- Maame-Yaa.
- Yes.

- Dudes who only know each other

because their wives are friends.

- Hey, Braxton, Brayden.
- Hey, Billy.

- Whoa!
- Thank you. Beer me.

Why not?
- Actually, I don't drink.

- Oh, it's zero proof.
- All right, I guess I do.

- These dance recitals are
pretty brutal, are they not?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.

- Okay, I'll come, but I
don't know what's going on.

- Did you guys catch the game?

- Which one?
- Yeah.

- Hockey?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, no, I definitely am familiar

with sports and sports terms.
- Same.

It was-

- I didn't see it.
- Okay.

- But you know what I say about that team.

- You know they go out there
and they give it their all,

and they do it, they bring it home.

- Hey, I'll cheers to that.
- I'll cheers.

- Okay? Hey, you know.

- Again, I shouldn't even
tempt it with the zero proof.

- Just a couple of guys being guys.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Guys!

[crew laughing]

- And mine's the son.

- I did notice his costume, with pants-

- He loves ballet. I sewed it.

- Oh wow.
- f*ck.

I mean, you know.
- Hey, hey.

- My wife sewed it.

- And my wife was like, oh,

you should tell her
husband to tell her wife

how beautiful the bead work was.

- Okay, well-
- And I was like,

listen, woman, I don't
notice things like bead work,

or how amazing those hemlines were,

'cause those hemlines were amazing.

- Do you mean that?
- Yeah, my wife does.

- Well, my wife is really
going to appreciate that,

because my wife spent a
lot of time on YouTube.

They're kind of tricky and
we have an older Singer

so it really just takes
a couple rounds in there.

So I'll let her know!

- And what my wife wants
me to tell you, I'm sure,

is that if you ever wanted to
come over and, I don't know,

maybe do a little sewing
circle, that she would love it.

- Can I just say that I feel like you guys

both are sewing people, and so am I.

- What?

- So am I, is what I'm trying to say.

Let's own who we really are.

What example are we teaching our kids?

- Yeah, yeah, let's just start

telling truths about ourselves, yeah?

- Yeah.

- I'm responsible for
the BP oil spill! Ah!

- Whoa.

- Oh my god, it's nice to have friends!

[buzzer buzzing]
- I will cut you off there.

A toxic masculinity is dead

amount of points for the three of you.

- Slay, okay.
- Whoa.

- Which brings us to the
last prompt of our game.

- No!

- Where am I supposed to go after this?

- Vic.
- Yes.

- Mimi.
- What?

- Maame-Yaa.
- Yeah.

- The high school theater stress dream

you still have in your 30s.
- Oh my god!

- I just got full body chills.

- Me too. This is too close to home.

- I literally might have a panic attack.

- Well, I heard that Vic only got the role

because her mom sewed the costumes.

- I heard that too, which is
crazy, because she's a junior,

and all the lead roles
should be going to seniors.

- I'm sorry, is my mom here?

- Where are your pants?

- Sorry, I'm sorry, you just
said my mom sewed the costumes?

What is my mom doing at school?

- She's here, and she's
here to tell everybody

about how you pissed the bed.
- What? No.

- And she said that.

Piss, not wet.
- What? No.

- And she said that she doesn't
even think you're that good.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Oh my god, the lights are on us.

It's time to start acting.
- Thank god I was given

the lead singing role in this musical.

Okay, here I go.

♪ I'm here to sing my song ♪

♪ I'm singing my song in
the lead of the show ♪

- [Mimi] Boo! I'm your
crush and I'm booing!

- What?
- Boo, boo!

My name's Tyler and I've
got Justin Bieber hair.

Boo, boo!

- No, no, Tyler, you don't
have Justin Bieber hair.

No, your hair is beautiful.
You just got it cut.

What are you doing here?

- I'm Tyler and I have the
body of one of your cousins,

but the head of Tyler.

- Tyler, you only exist
in the taekwondo gym!

What are you doing at my school?

- And cut!
[buzzer buzzing]

A monologue that you don't
remember amount of points

for the three of you.
- Wonderful.

- That brings us to the end of our show.

Our winner tonight...

Mimi Von Schack!
[Mimi screams]

- Mimi!
- Oh my god!

- Mimi, you are the recipient

of the coveted golden ear.

- Oh my god, I have so many
people I want to thank!

- Well, there's no speech.
- Oh.

- That does it for us
here at "Make Some Noise".

Tune in next time for
more of the game samer.

I'm Sam Reich, and that sounds
pretty good to me. Goodnight.
