Everyone's all on Sam Reich to bring Taskmaster back to the US, but he already has a game show. Off the back of his Philadelphia win last night, I wanna see Chris Gethard take a swing.

It is! Chengdu is considered the gay capitol of China, but Chongqing is also very open. Some joke that Chengdu is for gay men and Chongqing is for lesbians ... so, whatever that means!

When you see the title Super Mario Bros., do you pronounce the β€œBros.” as β€œbros” or β€œbrothers”? I do the latter and it never would have occurred to me to do the former, but I just listened to a podcast that went β€œbro.”
