- [Sam] Tonight!
A DVD menu icon bouncing its way around the screen,
it's Josh Ruben!
(upbeat music)
Fully anticipating a surprise party, it's Zac Oyama.
(upbeat music)
(Sam laughs)
- Okay, it's a pretty good dinner though.
- [Sam] And the windup Make Some Noise contestant toy,
it's Brennan Lee Mulligan.
- A cowboy in France.
An astronaut in a big kitchen.
- [Sam] They're all here to-
- [Contestants] Make some noise!
(perky jazz music)
(perky jazz music continues)
- 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?
- Yes. - I'll answer for myself.
No. - Yes.
- I've not seen them.
Or it is right.
- No.
- Brennan.
- Look, we've been doing this bit,
and I still think it's hilarious.
(Sam and crew laugh)
The important thing is this.
If anyone answers in the affirmative
that they've never seen them before,
they are lying.
You won't know if you haven't seen it before
until you see it for the first time.
- The prompts are all personal emails Brennan
has written me in the last five years.
(Brennan laughs)
They will, to the best of their ability,
fulfill those prompts.
I will award them corresponding points,
and the winner will take home the coveted Golden Ear,
which is what the G in EGOT stands for.
(Brennan wheezes)
Players, are you ready to rumble?
- Yuh. - Yes.
- Yah. - Yah.
- Yup. - Yah.
- First of all, a little warmup round,
something to whet the palate, an amuse-bouche, if you will.
Josh?
(Josh grunts) We've heard 100 Batmans.
What I'd like to see from you is 100,000 Batmans.
- No problem.
(Zac wheezes)
(Josh breathes heavily)
(continues breathes heavily)
(mutters of "Joker")
Where does he get all the,
where'd he get all the toy-toys?
Where did he get all the toy-toy-toy-toy-toy-toy.
(makes engine sound)
(stutters "Shields" repeatedly)
(rolls tongue and speaks gibberish)
We just replaced all the...
(to the tune of Danny Elfman's Batman theme) ♪ Bom bom bom bom bom ♪
♪ Bom bom bom ♪
(scats)
(breathes heavily) Batman.
(breathes heavily)
We're Batman.
(Sam and contestants laugh)
- Holy shit, Josh.
I think that'll do 'er.
- Just a nice, simple warmup.
- Just a nice easy one. (Sam laughs)
- Yeah, just a little amuse-bouche.
- Yeah, you know, the sound equivalent of pigs in a blanket.
Yeah, let's say a "swear to me" amount of points for you.
Moving right along to Zac.
- Okay.
- A figure skating fail and the slow-mo instant replay
of that same figure skating fail.
(Zac grunts)
(Zac slaps podium)
(Sam laughs)
(Sam and contestants laugh)
Wow, Zac.
(Josh and Brennan clap)
- There's a podium on the ice.
- Yes, for sure.
Let's say a bronze amount of points for you.
Got to deduct you a couple medals-worth
of points for the fail.
Brennan.
- Yes.
- Five different "hell yeah"s and their respective contexts.
- (wheezes) Hell yeah.
And that's your dad seeing you
when you've discovered where his secret biker club meets.
(Sam laughs)
And then the next one is...
Hell?
Yeah.
And that is someone with a teleporter
that you're asking where it can go to.
(Sam laughs)
Okay.
The next one is (sprite voice) hell yeah.
And that one is when your surf instructor,
lives in a little acorn house.
And then the next one is going to be...
Hell?
Yeah.
Which is the devil's new ad campaign.
(Sam laughs)
And then the last one is going to be...
(old man voice) Hell yeah.
Which is the response when I ask Gandalf
if I could hang out with him and the other wizards.
- Way to jump through those hoops.
- If this is an amuse-bouche, what's the entree?
- Let's say an incredible amount of points for you,
bringing us back to Josh.
- Yeah.
- Josh, a little abstract,
but if anyone can do it, it's you.
A briefcase full of "Seinfeld" intro music.
- Yeah, no worries.
(clicks tongue)
(scats)
(Sam, Zac, and Brennan laugh)
(funky scatting)
(continues scatting) (Sam laughs)
(clicks tongue)
(Sam laughs)
(escalating funky scatting)
It opened.
- It opened when?
After you threw it.
- Yeah, so now it's like... - Yeah, for sure.
- Is it my responsibility or do I just go Pandora's box?
- Yeah, for sure.
A "these pretzels are making me thirsty"
amount of points for you,
bringing us back to Zac.
- Okay.
- What not to do if you see a rattlesnake.
- Oh.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Just trying to get by the trail.
(hisses)
(chuckles)
I'm Sean.
Ah! (Sam and crew laughs)
What's your name?
Okay, well,
I'm just on a hike and I'm just trying to get by, so.
Here's $4.
(Sam laughs)
Well, listen,
I'm just a normal guy,
and I want to respect where you're from, so just...
K-k-k-k-k...
(Sam laughs)
(Zac gets attacked by the rattlesnake)
(Zac mimics being bitten by the rattlesnake)
(Sam hits buzzer) - And cut.
- The swelling.
- Introduced yourself, tried to bribe him,
and finally tried to assimilate to its culture.
- It didn't want me to be a part of that world.
- In defense of the snake, it is appropriation.
- Obviously.
- $4 is a great amount of dollars.
It's the most amount of bills you can have
for the smallest amount of money, you know?
- Yeah, it's the perfect comedy amount of money.
"Red touches yellow,
kill that fellow" amount of points.
- Kill that fellow?
- Isn't that the rule?
I think that's the rule. - Yellow touches red,
you're freaking dead.
- Yeah. - [Sam] Oh.
- Red touches yellow, let's be mellow.
(Sam laughs)
- I believe it's the opposite.
- I'm saying what you're not supposed to do, guys.
- Don't trust us. - You heard it
here first, kids.
Go home and touch snakes.
- Brennan.
(Brennan snaps)
Comedy Central's roast of an ostrich.
- Oh my God, we got a lot of people here tonight.
A lot of people here tonight.
I, I, I first met this guy, all right?
When he couldn't get booked
at the bottom of a sandbag.
Folks, he's an ostrich.
He's sticking his head in there all the time.
Listen, this guy hasn't laid an egg that big
since the Comedy Store back in '87, folks.
No, I kid.
I love him. I love him.
Oh, I wish he had emu's agent,
but other than that, other than that, I'll tell you this.
With a land speed of over 30 miles an hour,
the only thing faster than this bird
is the rate that people ran out of his last movie.
Folks, I'm telling you right now.
No, no, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Incredibly, what people don't know
is the choice to have a totally bald head
that looks like a shaved cock
is because the only thing more shaved
than his head is a cock.
I'm looking at you, Rooster.
Look, we got a lot of birds here tonight, folks.
I tell you what, I'm almost out of time here.
I just want to say one last thing.
I really do love you, man,
and you know it's an honor to be here celebrating you.
You have an incredible career,
and I know that if you could have any wish come true,
it be the wish to fuckin' fly.
The only bird in the room that can't fly.
Folks, that's my time.
Fuck you, Jeff Ross.
(Sam, Josh, and Zac laugh)
(buzzer buzzes)
- Woo!
Fast on the uptake there, Brennan.
Yeah, let's say a Rob Lowe amount points for you.
- All right.
- Josh.
- Huh.
- Fred Schneider of the B-52's
is going to find and kill you.
♪ Well, you're walking outside and you're running from me ♪
♪ Well, I'm coming for you ♪
♪ Do you have your keys ♪
♪ So, you're running ♪
♪ And I'm going fucking get you ♪
♪ Your tire just blew out ♪
♪ 'Cause I filled it with knives, yeah ♪
♪ I'm going to kill you ♪
♪ Fucking kill you ♪
- This is the guy, right?
- Yeah. ♪ So, you're running ♪
♪ Through the woods ♪
♪ And I've got a big knife ♪
♪ I'll trip you with my friend ♪
♪ His name is Mike ♪
♪ Mike and Fred ♪
♪ We're going to step on your head ♪
(buzzer screams) - I'll probably kill-
♪ So you wa- ♪
Unbelievable, Josh.
- It felt right.
- And the idea of him just announcing it,
you know what I mean?
- You're hiding quietly,
and you just hear a man-
- Well that's the terrifying,
you hear him coming from, it's just like...
(muffles voice)
- Who is that?
- It's Fred Schneider from the B-52's.
- Yeah, a "Love Shack" amount of points for you.
Zac.
- Okay.
- A dancing crossing guard
is bad at the crossing guard part.
(Josh laughs)
(contestants laughing)
- Oh, shit.
(Josh making honking sounds)
- [Josh] Fuck are you doin'?
- That way.
(contestants laughing and making car sounds)
(Zac's actual ankle popping)
Ow.
(all laughing)
My ankle's popping.
Everybody stop.
(screeching)
(buzzer screaming)
- I like to imagine that this man just donned a uniform
and went into the middle of an intersection-
- And they believed him.
- They believed him.
- Unbelievable.
Also Zac with a preview of what it's gonna look like
when we're still doing this at the age of 74.
- That was crazy.
(Sam laughs)
- That was real?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- And that noise came from the ankles.
Let's say a yellow light points for you, Zac.
Brennan. - Yuh.
- Last prompt of round one.
- Let's go.
- Your dad teaches you about the birds and the bees
and the fire and the sword and the spell and the prophecy.
(Brennan knocking)
- Hey, bud.
Talked to your mom downstairs.
and she let me know that she found
a magazine in your room,
and I just want to say that everything
that's going on with your body
is perfectly normal and natural,
with several notable exceptions.
(Sam laughs)
It's like the birds and the bees, right?
And bees, they go from flower to flower,
and they collect pollen, and that pollen,
when it goes in other flowers, that's how,
that's how new flowers are, are born,
and there's a certain kind of seed
that people can make, too,
and that's how they make new people.
It's also how they make the Shadow Ones.
(Sam laughs)
At the beginning of time,
there were 999 souls that were forged in the dark sun.
Much like birds build a nest,
the dark sun built a sword,
and that sword was broken into nine pieces, okay?
And you are one of those pieces.
I know.
Your body's changing,
and I know it's just funny 'cause I'm your dad.
Have you touched yourself?
Not with your hand.
Have you opened the eye within?
(Sam laughs)
And reached out to touch yourself?
Because if you haven't,
(deep voice) you're running out of time.
(buzzer screams) - I will cut you off there,
Brennan.
Wowie.
Just one of my favorite volleys we do on this show.
Set you up with a little bit of unexplained lore.
- Mythos.
- It's like letting a golden retriever out in the backyard.
That's what it feels like to me.
- There you go.
- I just want to jerk off.
- I just want to jerk off, man.
Well, you can't.
- I don't want to run from the Shadow Ones.
- 'Cause you'll bring the dark sun back
if you jerk off, okay?
- You heard it here first, kids.
A fatherly bonding amount of points for you.
(bright jazz music)
That brings us to our first minigame.
This is a minigame we like to call Translator,
a classic minigame with my noise boys.
Zac and Josh,
if you would do me the favor of switching places, please.
Josh is gonna play our foreign politician
and Brennan and Zac will play his translators,
translating him one line at a time.
Your speech, Josh, has something to do with a grand opening,
and so I am going to ask Paul
to bring out some novelty scissors for you use as a prop.
Paul?
Thank you so much, Paul.
You can go ahead and hand those over to Josh.
- Ah.
Merci.
Oh, fuck, that's heavy.
- Take it away whenever you're ready.
- Ah.
(speaks gibberish)
- We've sincerely tried our best
to open this up as fast as possible,
but due to the fires, it has been challenging.
(Josh speaks gibberish)
(Josh continues speaking gibberish)
- With enough time,
we were able to sacrifice the baby,
and that quelled the fires just enough
for us to get this thing started.
(Josh speaking gibberish)
- He so intense.
It's very intense.
(speaks gibberish)
- The scissors are blunt and safe.
(Sam and crew laughs)
(Josh speaking gibberish)
- And look how light they are.
(Josh speaking gibberish)
- Now in keeping with our rituals and customs,
I will play around with the scissors.
- Uh-oh, poo-scario. (laughs)
(makes nonsense sounds)
(Josh speaking gibberish)
- On a very funny note, I lost a finger.
- Yeah. - Oh.
Oh.
(speaking gibberish)
(Zac chomps)
(speaking gibberish)
- I found my finger.
Don't worry, guys.
Nothing bad can happen.
Oh no, I fed it to my right translator.
(Sam laughs)
(Josh speaking gibberish)
- You're such an idiot.
Why did you eat my finger?
I don't know if I can talk,
but I would say that you fed it to me.
- And I will buzz you off there.
- These are very (wheezes) heavy.
Opening it up felt like putting my head in a lion's mouth.
(discordant piano music)
- That brings us to round two,
where our players will now test their talents
in teams of twos.
- Mm. - Okay.
- Josh- - Huh.
- Zac? - Mm-hmm?
- Jigsaw from "Saw" forgot to prepare anything
and has to just kind of wing it.
- Welcome to the chamber.
- What is this place?
- I bet you're finding yourself really, really scared.
- I am. I am, please...
Please, I don't know what happened and I'm sorry.
Please just, can I go?
- No, you can't go.
Not until...
(blows air)
- What? Until what?
- One second.
(Sam laughs)
Okay, so, um...
There should be a box in the middle of the room.
- There's not a box.
I don't see a box.
- Huh? - I don't see a box.
- There's no box in the middle of the room?
- I'm looking around,
and the room seems kind of empty to me.
There's a blanket, but that's about it.
- Okay, one sec.
- I'm sorry.
I'm just like, is there anything, can I just go?
- Okay, no, no, no.
Shush, shush.
I got it.
If you look to your left,
there's a bathroom with no toilet seat cover.
Walk up to it as slowly as you can and look inside.
What you will find may just be the key to the outside world.
- Sorry, you said a bathroom without toilet seat covers.
- If you look to your left,
and you just walk close like to your left.
- I'm in the bathroom now.
- Oh, fuck, you're in there?
(Sam and crew laughing)
Okay. - It doesn't seem like I'm,
I don't feel...
- Reach up your sleeve and reach inside.
- Is this Lego piece something?
- Oh, that's my Lego.
Will you put it in your pocket
and just kind of hang onto that for me?
'Cause you're going to dead soon, and I really need that.
- I don't want to be dead soon, please.
I'm sorry. - Okay.
All right, now I got it.
Okay, look.
If you're afraid of fire...
- Um, I'm actually really not.
- Oh.
(Sam and crew laughing)
(buzzer buzzing) - Cut you off there.
- Weirdly not afraid of fire.
- That was fantastic.
There's nothing I love
than a really scary voice vamping.
That's like a classic Josh Ruben bit,
the announcer who says "Um."
- Coming next, um, summer.
Um.
Just like a really unsure...
- Let's say seven points for you and one in 3D.
- Ooh, okay.
- Zac. - Yes?
- And Brennan.
- Huh?
- [Sam] Good cop, comrade cop.
- Hey, got you a Coca-Cola and a bag of Fritos. (chuckles)
Look,
we're just trying to have a conversation
about what happened today.
- You shouldn't tell us shit.
We are not your fuckin' friends, okay?
Get a lawyer in here.
Take care of yourself.
You have nothing to lose but your chains.
Remember that.
- Uh, yeah.
You could totally wait for your lawyer,
or just, you know,
we were just looking at this window of 2:00 to 3:30 today.
There was sort of just a loud noise near your apartment.
You're probably fine, you know?
- I am working here to feed intel to the revolution.
(Sam laughs)
You should burn this fuckin' place to the ground,
but again, keep your mouth shut.
Anything you say,
this motherfucker's gonna twist it against you.
- All right, well, listen.
If you cooperate with us, it'll go a long way.
We can get you in a much lighter situation overall.
(Brennan blows)
(Sam laughs)
- Run, motherfucker, run.
Run! (buzzer buzzes)
- I will cut you off there.
I like that a lot, the two of you.
Let's say two points,
and you can distribute them between the two of you
according to your need.
- Ooh.
- I'll take two.
- Brennan. - Yoi?
- And Josh. - Get going.
- A difficult-to-open jar of pickles
makes two men question everything.
- Oh my God.
I'm glad you're here, dude.
- What's up?
- I just, I can't get this fucking thing open.
- Oh. - Can you give it a try?
- Yeah, I'll give it a try.
No worries. - Yeah, give it like
the towel trick or whatever.
- No, I'll probably just, you know, hand.
- Yeah.
I don't know.
You want to do the towel thing?
- Actually, sorry.
- Yeah.
- I'm okay.
I'm just going to try it with my hands for a second.
- Yeah.
- Did you get a good...
- Yeah.
(Brennan groans)
Okay. All right.
Hey, if you need a break, you want to tap out?
You want to tap out?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I fuckin' suck.
(Sam laughs)
- Hey, man, it's just a jar of pickles.
- I'm gonna do the towel trick,
'cause if I can't do this.
Fuck!
I can't do it, dude.
- Okay, just hold on.
- I can't even afford to send my stepdaughter $20.
- What?
- I can't even afford to send my stepdaughter $20.
- You can't afford to send your stepdaughter $20?
- No, it's the postage.
I have 20. I have 20.
How much is postage?
- 42 cents.
- Yeah, exactly.
I don't have fuckin' 42.
- Okay, look.
- Yeah.
- Maybe we should just think outside the box.
We can't open it from the lid.
- Okay.
- But what if we tried to open it from not the lid?
(Sam and contestants laughing)
- Declan, are you sure?
- This is the way?
- Oh.
- Hey, tell your stepdaughter that she's getting $20.
(Sam laughs)
Boink.
Boink. Boink.
Boink.
- Oh, it's getting worse.
It's getting worse.
Amanda, Amanda, it's your stepdad.
(Brennan speaks gibberish)
That's Declan.
If you can come to me...
- Whoopie.
- I will cut off there.
- Amanda.
- What an incredible-
I'm so glad that I let that go on as long
as it did, that last discovery.
- And we would.
We would write that play.
- Beating yourself up with a pickle jar.
- Oh, it's your Uncle Declan.
- There's so many harder things
in the room to smash in your face.
- Three toxically masculine points for the both of you.
Josh. - Huh.
- And Zac.
(Zac grunts)
A series of unfortunate events
while we're rolling on room tone.
For those of you who don't know,
room tone is a production thing
where at the end of every shoot day,
we'll roll on 30 seconds of room tone
in order to be able to use it in the edit
to cover up any silent spots.
- I think we got it. - Yeah.
- So, just, let's, uh... - Yeah, cool.
- Maybe we get room tone
and then thanks everybody for the day.
- All right, everyone,
so let's just get real quiet, please.
We're rolling on room tone.
Three, two.
All right, cool.
(whistling)
(sputtering)
We still good?
- Did you hear the asteroid?
- Asteroid. (Sam laughs)
(Zac making whirring sounds)
- Are there any survivors down there?
(makes siren sound)
Dad, Dad, help.
- Have you guys seen my daughter?
(Brennan scoffs)
Shh. - Shh.
- Have you guys seen my daughter?
- Dad, down here.
- One side, please, can you keep it down.
Would you please find my dad?
- Can you send a PA outside to tell them-
- Yeah, we sent a PA to get her daughter.
- To get the daughter out of the thing.
- To reunite them.
(Sam laughs)
(makes whooshing sound)
Fire.
- Can you send a PA outside
(Josh makes explosion sound)
to handle the fire. - Looters.
There's looters.
I got the TV.
I got a fuckin' TV.
- Is anyone going on a run and maybe can stop-
- [Josh] Load it up. Load it up.
(makes revving engine sound)
(buzzer screams) - I will cut you off there.
- Asteroid, looter, dad needs to find his daughter.
- I love it.
There's nothing like being irritated by an apocalypse.
- Yeah, keep it down.
- Yeah, a "just put a filter on it"
amount of points for you.
Zac. - Okay.
- And Brennan. - Hi!
- Asteroid-denying dinosaurs' podcast.
- Well, it's 'cause they want
to keep you scared at the end of the day.
They want to keep you scared,
'cause it's in herbivores' best interests.
You know, I'm a Tyrannosaurus rex,
- Same. - I'm an apex predator,
you know? - And honestly,
like, I don't think an asteroid could even hurt us.
- That's exactly it, right?
'Cause, like, we already know.
It's like scientists already-
- Bring the mic closer to your face.
(Brennan squealing)
- Are you getting that clean?
- Yeah, yeah, that's actually really good.
- Uh, I think this is probably a good time
for us to bring back - Fern Shakes.
So, for everyone who's listening at home,
you can check out our online store.
This is a supplement made out
of triceratops blood and ferns.
- Do you ever feel like you're waking up
and you can't catch those little tiny guys
that are running in a pack
that ate the guy in "Jurassic Park II"?
- Did you hear about that?
- Mm-hmm. - Did you hear that
they said that those are gonna take over the planet
after the asteroid kills all of us?
- Okay, yeah, we'll see.
- Yeah, we'll see, yeah.
- You know how tiny those guys are?
- I could easily step on like all of them
with my enormous feet.
- One second, and just a little closer.
- Little? - A little closer.
(Brennan squeals)
That's good, actually.
- Did you hear that new Tom Segura / Bert Kreischer bit?
(Sam and Josh laugh)
When are we gonna get invited on there, do you think?
- Eh, you know,
I'm waiting to ask till I have
something like really cool to promote.
(buzzer screaming) - I will cut you off there.
It's so funny that the term apex predator,
if anyone deserved to refer to themselves as one,
it would be the T-rex. - A apex predator, for sure.
Although there's some conjecture that Tyrannosaurus rexes
may have been scavengers as well as predators.
- See, this is why we have Brennan on the show, really.
- Basically a bird fact. - To teach us things.
A "brought to you by Me Undies" amount of points
for the both of you.
Last prompt of round two.
Brennan. - Yoi.
- And Josh. - Yes.
- An animal expert explains a monkey's unusual behavior.
- Now, you may well be asking why Herbert
is wearing a little suit and tie,
and it's because he thinks he's a little businessman.
In the same way that certain people somnambulate,
which is the correct term for sleepwalking,
Herbert believes that he is
a 47-year-old securities analyst.
(Sam laughs)
Now, Herbert is getting a little bit anxious
because no one has emailed him on his Blackberry phone.
(Sam laughs)
Herbert believes that it is 2009.
Someone, quickly email Herbert.
Send him, send him, yes, please, send him an email.
Okay.
(Josh making monkey sounds)
Oh, he likes that.
Did they tell you to circle back?
Circle back?
That's right, they did.
Oh, now Herbert is drinking
a little shake he made for himself.
(Sam laughs)
It's a little peanut butter,
and it's good post-workout.
Herbert likes to work out, so he showers at the gym.
Oh, and now Herbert's sending a little email.
Ah.
It looks like Herbert is trying to short the housing market.
(Josh screeches) (buzzer screams)
- I will cut you off there.
I don't how that happened.
- A tiny shake?
- But I love it.
A zoological amount of points for you.
(upbeat jazz music)
It's time for our second minigame.
The minigame in question: Make It Sing.
We've done versions of this game with musical instruments,
a vase of flowers, my dog.
Now we're going to do it
with Dropout cast member Grant O'Brien.
Now, Grant is backstage wearing noise-canceling headphones
in order so that he can't hear us.
- Should I have these on?
(contestants laugh)
Okay.
- Players, you are trying to get Grant
to make a very specific noise.
- Gotcha.
- Your sound is...
(percussive keyboard strike)
Got it?
- Gotcha. - Got it.
- Grant, if you could come out here, please.
(bouncy instrumental music)
Now he's late?
- Well, I put the headphones on.
(Sam laughs)
- [Sam] Welcome, my friend. - Hi.
- [Sam] It's so nice to see you.
- [Grant] Hey, it's nice to be here.
- Grant, you can go ahead and face our players
and chat with them as you would normally.
One question a piece, players.
Josh.
- Nice fit.
Can you tell me about that nice fit?
- I got this at Amazon Style, which is pretty embarrassing.
You know, it hangs very nicely, I think, much like myself.
(chuckles)
It's a good thing I came.
(Sam laughs)
- Zac.
- I don't know if you consider yourself a tough guy,
but what is the hardest thing about you?
- I think I just explained. (laughs)
Good thing I came by.
The hardest thing about me.
I can swim for a very long time without taking a break.
- Ooh, very good answer, Grant.
Very good answer indeed.
Brennan.
- Grant. - Brennan.
- In this very studio once,
we talked about in a followup
to True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien,
where you made reference to a party
in which 50 incidents of a similar nature occurred.
Would you be willing to share a more elaborate
and in-depth version of the events of that night?
- Oh, I bet I could probably get into that, sure.
(Sam and contestants laughing)
I went to a sex party, is what you're referring to,
in Brooklyn, New York.
You'd go in and you'd check your clothes,
you'd get naked,
you'd put 'em in a bag,
and on the bag there'd be written a number.
Then they'd write the number on your arm in a sharpie
so you could get your clothes back at the end.
How much more detail would you like?
- I think that's great.
- Oh. - [Brennan] Yeah.
- Grant, you can go ahead
and see what the players were trying to have you do.
- A sex joke or innuendo,
and I came out swinging, my man.
(Sam laughs)
Came out locked and loaded.
- It was funny because Josh
and Zac both got you to do it immediately,
and then we had a spectacular dry period.
- I wouldn't know anything about a spectacular dry period.
Hey!
- [Contestants] Oh!
(energetic music)
- That brings us to round three
where our players will now hold hands
and jump into the abyss together.
(laughs)
Just the most perfect arm wave there's ever been.
Josh? - Yeah.
- Zac? - Yeah.
- Brennan. - Hi.
- Feel free to take this one at a time.
- Oh fuck.
- Sam's inner monologue when he wakes up in the morning.
I was dared into including this one.
- What can I make those three freaks do today?
(Sam laughs)
- How unhinged can I make my summer camp friend
in front of an audience of millions?
- And the answer is quite.
- 30-second vertical, 60-second vertical.
(Sam and contestants laughing)
Punch-in, edited.
Noted. Fine cut.
What do the kids love?
39-year-old men screaming.
(Sam laughs)
- China, if you're listening, please,
please don't cancel TikTok, please.
- Remember when we used to do Facebook 360 video?
- There's a really interesting new technology
that in six to 12 months will prove to be a Ponzi scheme,
but... (contestants laugh)
- My note-taking app is terrific.
(Brennan laughs)
And yes, it's $30 a month.
- You have a subscription for the notes app?
- Lime Shack, Electus, Jest.
Lime Shack, Electus, Jest.
- Those are all companies that failed during my tenure,
but listen, I did not invent any of them.
- You just championed them.
- I just had to steward them.
It was my job.
Sorry, I should amend this to be "and Sam defends himself."
(Josh laughs)
- Wow, I got a lot of emails to answer about "Game Changer"
and "Make Some Noise" and a lot of production concerns,
but I think it's time to make a TikTok sketch.
(Sam laughs)
(buzzer screams)
- I enjoyed that deeply because it feels good to be seen.
- There you go.
- A highly relatable amount of points for the three of you.
Josh. - Mm.
- Zac. - Yes.
- Brennan.
Someone trying to get a new nickname
for themselves off the ground.
- Hey, what's up, dies?
- Hey, what's up, man?
Good to see you. - Did you say dies.
- It's so funny.
I was like, what's up, dies?
It might be funny if, like, I don't know,
that was just the thing we just did.
- I don't want to be called to die, I guess.
- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.
That's cool.
- It's good, man.
So, I'm all packed ready to go for the lake,
but once we're up at the cabin,
you know, there's not a lot of cell service.
Anything we're gonna want, we should probably get locked up.
- Mr. Worried over here.
Well, just, you know, planning, so.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.
- I'm good to go to the grocery store now.
Hit up the grosh.
- No, that would be kind of like more,
Joesh the Grosh sounds like,
since my name is Joesh,
but Joesh actually might be kind of fun.
Joesh, like, "Hey, what's up, Joesh?"
- Yeah. - Yeah, for sure.
- Yeah. - So,
we gotta get up there probably by like noon.
- Well, when I get in there, I'm gonna shotgun that bed.
I'm gonna shotgun that first bed
and shotgun that shotgun.
Shotgun.
- What's up, man?
- Just like, I was just saying, run towards the car.
First one to say shotgun, it's usually me.
It's been me for years, and that's why they call me...
- Who calls you what?
- Huh? Ah.
- So, I was thinking 'cause of my thing,
if I get carsick if I'm in the backseat.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Is it okay
if I sit in the front?
- Yeah, that's cool.
You can sit in the front if you call me Joesh. (laughs)
- Real or no?
(Sam laughs)
I just feel like-
- What? Talk to me, man.
- You have this hungry fucking energy at the top of the day.
It's like 9:00 a.m.
- Yeah.
- Do you want a nickname?
- Early bird gets the worm.
- Not an answer to my question.
(Sam laughs)
- We shouldn't fight.
We should just like, get up there,
just have a good time, because, like, you're my dies.
That's my die, dog.
(palms slap)
- Ow.
- Oh, are you okay, bud?
- Sorry.
It's, you know, sensitive hands.
- Uh-oh, sensy hands.
- Let's not do that one.
(buzzer screams) (Sam laughs)
- Mr. Sensy Hands over here.
- Sensy hands.
- Sometimes, you just wait for a button,
and the perfect one comes right along.
What a little gift.
- We'll just keep pulling.
- A Sambourine man amount of points.
- Sambourine man?
- Hey, Mr. Sambourine man?
- Josh. - Hi.
- Zac. - Okay.
- Brennan. - Yep.
- Hour 12 of a press junket for "Make Some Noise."
- Hey.
- How's it going?
- Oh, yeah, sure.
One more time.
My throat can do it.
The seagull, right?
(squeaks)
- I think to answer your question,
it's great to be in scenes to, uh...
(Sam laughs)
- Well, well.
You know, he's, Brennan's so good at,
he can, he can go,
he can keep going, you know?
- Yeah. - Which is awesome.
- And Zac is, you know, timing.
It's all, the comedy is timing, and Zac.
- One more time?
Okay, oh.
Yeah. (clears throat)
(squeaks) - Um.
- What comicbookrules.com means to us is-
(Sam laughs)
- Oh, what's my favorite noise?
Ah. Um.
Ha ha.
- I would say mine's the same.
- Okay, I'm just gonna do it five,
five or six more times just so that you have enough seagulls
for you to take it home to your fuckin' house.
All right?
(squeals)
And one more.
(squeals)
- No, so we actually don't get
to see the prompts beforehand.
That's not, um...
- Isn't that fucking obvious?
Like, what would we even fucking be doing?
- Hey, no, it's...
It's been a long day and we have to
go record 11 episodes after this press junket is over.
- Oh, you want us all to, to say it the same time?
- [Contestants] We're all here to make some noise.
(buzzer screams)
(Sam laughs)
- What a fantastic interpretation of that prompt.
An exhaustive amount of points for the three of you.
(Brennan whistles)
That brings us to the end of our game.
Our winner tonight:
our first-ever three-way tie.
(canned audience cheers)
You each won the Golden Ear.
- Oh my. - All of us?
- All of you.
(contestants growl)
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.
Good night.
