The Weirdest RLM Game Show Returns!

 I am shocked that they made a sequel but I am pleased.

Could they make it a trilogy? Is it even possible?

Late Show - Mike McIntee's Favorite Moments

 

It's wild that we get an explanation as to what happened during the "Mistaken Ribs" debacle. I never imagined we would get that.

I really like Mike, he seems like a great guy.

And now a personal note and a question.

When the Late Show was still on the air they had a section of their website known as The Wahoo Gazette. The Wahoo Gazette was kind of a blog (or maybe a newsletter?) which was basically a synopsis of every episode of the Late Show with some behind the scenes stuff plus anything else the writer wanted to talk about. As it happens, the writer of The Wahoo Gazette was Mike McIntee and I communicated with him (through email) a few times. Once or twice, I was even mentioned in the feature, which was nice.

So that begs the question: is communicating with Mike McIntee a more tenuous brush with fame than my Bloodhound Gang Connection? You make the call.

The Weirdest RLM Game Show

 This idea for a video, particularly in the context of Red Letter Media, makes absolutely no sense. It's a testament to the charm and skill of the channel that they can make it work.

And now a personal story (spoilers for the end of the video).

In High School, going through the halls, I became acutely aware of this dude who would always be surrounded by a group of girls. It was quite a mystery, and in fact an injustice, when I looked at him and considered that there was absolutely nothing about him that should really warrant this kind of attention.  But the daily walking paths to class are set and regular and this phenomenon was confirmed over and over. Spurred by jealousy and curiosity, I looked at him and the situation trying to figure out his secret. I think it was much later, probably years later that I found out that the dude was the drummer for The Bloodhound Gang.

I'd like to think that going to the same high school as... the drummer... for The Bloodhound Gang is the weakest claim to fame in the world - especially when you consider that they've had multiple drummers. But maybe having the weakest claim to fame in the world is itself a claim to fame? No, it's nothing.
