Meredith: Final?

So far it's nihil obstat® for me.

Rich: Sure.

Rich is a MAWG and Waterford (southeastern CT, near New London) isn't even in Where Else territory I'm still waiting to see what his successful hook was. This flat opening banter sure wasn't it.

Some of his deliberation on the stack were funny, though.

Rich: Sure.

I am always happy when the transcribers include all the juicy bits so that I can fully appreciate what kind of dumbasses they bring on this show. But there are times like this when, to preserve what's left of the integrity of this show, they should probably do all they can to snuff insane remarks like this out....

Yeah, we all know the best place to find reality is at a damn movie studio....

A: Hawaii B: Indiana
C: Ohio D: Alaska

Rich is thinking back to his "Schoolhouse Rock," but he can't remember the song about prepositions.

Most of us didn't need Schoolhouse Rock to be able to remember what our totally uncool teachers taught us in grammar class, Rich.

Rich: I think it's Indiana, which would be IN, pre-position, position being "in".

You are talking gibberish to figure out a damn 4th grade question...

Hawaii would be HI, Ohio would be OH--those are exclamations.

I'll give you an example. OH my God this guy's a friggin' dumbass!

Alaska would be AK, which is the sound I'll make if I flunk this question. I'm gonna say B: Indiana.

It's spelled "Ack", genius...

Meredith: Final?

Rich: Final.

Meredith and Rich are idiots. The conjunction is "and". Conunction junction, what's your function? And's function is to make sure that we know that both Mere and Rich are contributing to the aura of stupidity that constantly surrounds this show.

Rich grew up in Rhode Island. As a fellow Rhode Islander, Meredith is a little partial to him.

Would it really be that hard to dig a big enough ditch at the Connecticut and Massachusetts borders to send Rhode Island out into the sea? Never has such a small state done so much damage to a vital institution like WWTBAM...

A: Industry B: Reason
C: Progress D: Logic

Rich: I've heard of the Age of Reason. I've heard of the Age of Progress. A and C aren't ringing the bells here.

That's because the Enlightenment hasn't made its way to you yet, Rich. Just be patient for a few more centuries...

50/50 leaves B & D.

Audience: Oh!

Rich calls a coworker, Milt.

Someone living in the Age of Reason would have figured out by now that if the 50/50 took away one of the two answers they were deciding between, that the correct answer is most likely the one that is left.

Milt: Reason.

Poor Milt. He probably has to constantly help you out at work, like show you which way the newspaper goes in to make it print right side up, or point out which symbol represents the Mens room...

Rich: Thank you!

Milt: I'm sure on that one.

Rich: Beautiful!

Audience: [Applause]

I'm sorry, but I couldn't be in an audience where I was expected to applaud everytime some moron had to utter several illogical statements and waste two lifelines before coming to an undeniable conclusion that most people past the fetus stage would have known before all the choices even popped up...

Meredith: Anything else you want to say to him?

Rich: They're applauding you. They ain't applauding me!

At least you've somehow wrung enough sense out of your brain to realize you deserve no applause, even from an audience that needs a big flashing sign to know when to start clapping its hands...

I know how you rely on our transcriptions, MBFFB, because your TV set is so often inexplicably broken. Getting the banter typed just right to capture all the tonal subtleties can be challenging, at times.

Note here how Rich said "Sure." instead of "Sure!" -- thereby capturing the flat and unenthusiastic tone of his reply.

so far so good
