- My husband gets mad at me for farting,
but it's about to earn me $100.
(Mel laughs)
Oh, I just did it!
(theatrical music)
- Hello! - Hi!
- [Interviewer] Hi, who are you?
- We are nerds.
I mean, it's more geek culture,
but I'm really into Harry Potter
and fantasy and sci-fi.
- I work in the video game industry.
- I know games, I know trivia, anime, D&D.
- Yeah, I'm the nerd. The physics, the math,
I'm a human calculator, and I'm a sports jock.
So, we've got a well-rounded team, we kind of noticed.
- [Interviewer] I think a lot of your strengths
aren't even in the game. I apologize.
(groups laughing)
- [Interviewer] Each challenge is worth $100.
- Oh!
- Damn.
- Do push-ups for one minute straight.
You can tag with other players,
but the push-ups must be continuous
throughout the full minute.
- You're the athlete.
- Ah, that's an easy one.
- No, it's not. I have a rebuilt shoulder.
- I can't do it because I have a TFC tear.
- I'm pregnant.
- I've always been good at push-ups.
- I'm passing this to Matthew.
- [Interviewer] All right.
- I also haven't done a push-up in forever
so tell me if my form is not correct under-
- Your form doesn't have to be great. We're nerds.
- That's fair.
- [Interviewer] And go!
(playful piano music)
- Can we encourage him?
- [Interviewer] Yeah. - Five.
- Woohoo! - Woo!
- You're good at a lot of stuff, including push-ups.
- Aw, thank you so much.
- [Interviewer] Oh, that booty's getting kind of high.
(people laughing)
(Matthew groans)
- You're doing great! Keep going!
- I might need someone to tap in.
- Oh God!
- [Interviewer] You have 15 seconds left.
- 30.
- You wanna tag-team? - 31.
- Go on. - 32.
- [Interviewer] Okay. Four seconds.
3, 2, 1.
You guys, you did it!
- I guess I should've been the one doing the push-ups.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- I guess my shoulder's better than I thought it was.
I just didn't wanna embarrass myself.
My bad, Matthew.
- [Interviewer] How come nerds aren't more physically fit?
- I'm the kind of person where I would love
to be a regular gym-goer,
'cause I wanna fight people better.
But there's a lot of anxiety that goes
towards looking like this and being in an environment full
of muscular, hyped-up dudes.
I don't know how safe I would feel.
- That's all bullshit.
I played 12 years of football.
Not all nerds are unathletic.
The best part is I make friends with guys like that
and kick the other jock's ass, so.
- I can run really fast.
(man laughs)
For a short distance.
- Away from things?
- Yeah. (chuckles)
- Correctly identify the made-up anime title.
Your teammates can take a mystery shot for an extra guess.
Cat Girl and Her Ten Years Quest,
"Assassination Classroom,"
"Jojo's Bizarre Adventure,"
"Kill la Kill,"
"Princess Jellyfish,"
and "Carole & Tuesday."
I know "Kill la Kill" is real.
I know "Assassination Classroom" is real.
I think "Princess Jellyfish" is fake.
(buzzer sounds) - [Interviewer] Incorrect.
- Aw, poop.
- Okay. I'll take a shot.
- Sorry, Mel.
- Ugh.
- I'm gonna go with "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure,"
(buzzer sounds)
which is wrong, clearly, because they're shaking their head.
(people laugh)
I don't know!
- This is called teamwork.
I feel like if we're taking shots,
we should really get some fucking hints.
This is bullshit. (laughs)
- Am I guessing again, you guys?
- You got two more guesses,
'cause I'm gonna take another shot
- "Carole & Tuesday."
- [Interviewer] Why Carole & Tuesday?
- Because it sounds like an '80s sitcom.
- [Interviewer] Okay,
you're wrong again. (buzzer sounds)
- What?
- I'm so sorry.
This is not going well.
- It's okay.
- That means it's Cat Girl and Her Ten Years Quest.
- [Interviewer] Okay, you got it right.
- Okay, good.
- Yes! - Yay!
- I was so mad.
She's like, cat girl and her...
That's not it. That's the one.
- I've been to anime conventions.
We all wear cat ears.
- Make yourself fart in one minute.
So I'm gonna let you guys know that I can't audibly fart.
- What?
- What do you mean audibly fart?
- They're just quiet.
- Are you silent?
- I'm silent.
- I could maybe fart.
I'm bloated right now.
- Oh, because pregnancy.
- Because pregnancy. (laughs)
My husband gets mad at me for farting,
but it's about to earn me $100.
(Mel laughs)
- [Interviewer] And go!
(slow guitar music)
- Oh, I just did it!
- [Interviewer] Nobody heard it.
- No! - I heard it.
- You heard it?
- [Interviewer] No.
- I don't wanna point it at anybody.
(slow guitar music continues)
(Matthew laughs)
You ready?
Oh, they're not making any noise this time.
(slow guitar music continues)
- [Interviewer] And, time.
(buzzer sounds) - No!
I'm sorry, you guys.
I did fart twice.
- I tried to fart for you.
(people chuckle)
- Oh, this is easy.
Match sexy nerd celebrity crush to teammate,
and tell us why.
- Oh.
- So the first one is Henry Cavill, played Superman.
And then Kaley Cuoco, that's Penny
from "The Big Bang Theory."
(laughs) That was mine.
(people laugh)
- Had a feeling.
- Bo Burnham.
- [Interviewer] Who's Bo Burnham?
- A shitty comedian that does songs and shit.
And then, "Let me at least talk
to them first to make sure they aren't awful people."
Geez. That's Matt. (laughs)
Like, I want to have a conversation.
Can we get to know each other?
Do you even like me?
Like I- geez, God.
That's totally fucking Matthew.
Henry Cavill.
She's anime, DC,
I said he played Superman.
Yeah, duh.
So I think she's the Henry Cavill guy.
And then Bo Burnham.
You're stuck with Bo.
- [Interviewer] Okay, was he correct?
(buzzer sounds)
- It's Henry Cavill.
- I had y'all switched, yeah.
- And he plays the Witcher.
- I have no clue who the fuck either one of those guys-
- You got me right, though.
- I know. (everyone laughs)
- Single tear drops from his face.
- Take two shots.
Use a breathalyzer and guess your Blood Alcohol Content.
Okay. I guess I'm taking a couple of shots.
- You took that one for me.
How long ago was that?
- Math guy, how long ago was that?
- About 30 minutes, 35.
- So that's in your system.
So just keep that in the back of your mind.
- You make an excellent point.
- Is this cheating?
- [Interviewer] Well, since none of you actually know... No.
- Because we're dumb it doesn't count.
- [Interviewer] What is the legal limit?
- 0.08.
(serene clarinet music)
He's a buck 20, though. (laughs)
- I've only been pulled over once
and that was for suspection of robbery
and they didn't make me do a breathalyzer.
- Dang!
- Did you rob someone?
- No! (laughs)
- Okay. (laughs)
- Oh no, I broke it. (everyone laughs)
- [Interviewer] Don't look at the screen.
- I'm sorry.
- I would say you're at about a 0.4 to 0.5
for every drink you've had.
- What? - Point 0.
- 0.04.
- Cause otherwise he'd be dead.
- So I would say maybe, like, 0.13?
- [Interviewer] Well, you're off.
(buzzer sounds) - Thought so.
- [Interviewer] It was a 0.17.
- What?
- Don't drive.
- I won't, I won't.
My mommy drove me here.
- Did she really?
- Yeah.
- Aw.
- Hold an egg in the crook of your elbow.
Do a massive bicep flex to break the egg.
If the egg doesn't break, you lose the challenge.
- Are you getting ready in case she passes?
- Do we get the point if one of us breaks it?
- [Interviewer] Yeah, yeah.
- I'll do it!
- Let's give it a go.
- [Interviewer] 1, 2, 3!
- Oh, he did it!
- [Interviewer] Wait, everybody else try!
- I'm trying.
- I am trying.
- I've been out practice 'cause I'm injured.
I can't do anything. (man laughing)
- That's not my excuse.
I just got spaghetti arms.
- Ah, no!
(people laugh)
I broke it.
- Pie all three teammates in the face
while naming digits of pi.
I mean I can go to 3.1415...
I can go to 0.1415.
I can do five letters.
Sorry, can I pie you in the face?
- Please! - Sure, dude.
- Oh, these are beautiful pies.
- They are.
- Yeah, someone sprayed them with love.
- I can't believe they're gonna be ruined with our faces.
- Let's go. Chop, chop.
- Yeah. Yeah.
You can like pie one of us-
(man laughs)
- Wait, don't you have to say the numbers
of pi while you do it?
- 3.14...
- It's harder to breathe than I thought.
- One, five,
nine, I think.
- Oh, God.
- A lily pad doubles in area every second.
After one minute, it fills the pond.
How long would it take for the lily pad
to fill a quarter of the pond?
You have 60 seconds to solve and must show your work.
Okay, but how big is a lily pad
and how big is the pond?
- That's simple.
Pass it to me, please.
- I'm very good at math, though, so.
- No, but this is a word question.
It's not even math.
This is so easy.
'Cause I'm gonna explain it,
and when I explain it, you're like,
"Oh, my God-" you're right.
- Do you need help opening the pen?
(man laughs)
- There we go.
If I can get the fucking pen open!
- Ha, ha. He's never seen a pen before.
- So it says one second, the area is times two.
So that means at 60 seconds, the area is whole.
Then it means at 59 seconds, the area is 1/2.
And at 58 seconds, there is 1/2 of that,
which would be 1/4.
So after 58 seconds,
the lily pad would fill up a quarter of the pond.
(check dings) - Oh!
- Oh, I misread the question.
- I did too.
- Wow! - Bingo!
(everyone claps) - Did he get it?
- [Interviewer] Yeah, he got it.
- Wow, yay! - Woo!
- Thank God one of us knows how to read.
- [Interviewer] All right, y'all.
You're going to walk out of here with $500.
- [All] Woo! (claps)
- [Interviewer] We will bring you back
for the Extreme Nerd version.
- [All] Yes!
- I want the same teammates.
I'm not wearing a suit.
I would take this Fishbowl team against anybody.
- Yeah!
- Oh, you're too kind.
- I love you guys.
I told you I'm your nerd bully.
Nobody gets to pick on you guys but me, now.
- That's sweet.
- I'm not joking.
You think I'm fucking around.
I just imprinted on you fuckers.
- [Interviewer] All right. Good job, you guys!
(everyone claps)
