Seth tries one last time to save Andrew from a life devoid of merriment. He shows Andrew some of his favorite games and sees if Andrew can show something even resembling interest. We talk about modern games like Cross Fire, Neopets, and Club Penguin. But we also dive into some Victorian parlor games such as "Hot Cockles," "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk," and the deceptively named "Bullet Pudding."
We also fix some of the inaccuracies in Hungry, Hungry Hippos, extend an olive branch to the snake community, and extend whatever the opposite of an olive branch is to our nemesis Ira Glass.
