reassurance, but you're not.
00:02
Oh, this is hard.
00:04
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
00:05
- (FBE) Today, you'll be playing
a variation on a classic game
00:16
of manipulation and lies
we call Poker Face.
00:19
- We just met.
This isn't a good start.
00:22
- (FBE) There will be three
rounds of challenges
00:23
where you'll both have
one box in front of you,
00:25
one with a good item
and one with a bad.
00:27
Each round, one player
will look into the box
00:29
and decide whether to keep it
or switch it.
00:31
The other player will have to
decide whether they are
00:33
being deceived and will have
the final say on whether
00:35
to switch the boxes
or keep them.
00:37
Whatever is in the box
in front of you at the end,
00:39
you will have to deal with.
- Deal with it?
00:41
- I'm just apprehensive.
I think once we get going,
00:43
I might have more faith
in myself.
00:46
- I'm pretty guilty,
so I don't think I'll do very well.
00:48
- (FBE) So, for our first
challenge, taking a cue
00:51
from our sister show,
Challenge Chalice.
00:53
- [Bleep].
00:55
- (FBE) This is a smoothie
challenge.
00:57
In one box is a delightful
vanilla milkshake,
00:59
while in the other,
we have recreated
01:02
the sour string smoothie
from Challenge Chalice.
01:04
- My eyes are watering
thinking about that.
01:07
- (FBE) Jeannie, because you're
on the left, you start.
01:09
Go ahead and look in your box.
- This one?
01:11
- I'm not ready.
- I have to really analyze
01:13
you right now.
01:15
- I feel like I need to
be strategic with my movements
01:21
right now.
- I've already caught on
01:25
to a few things.
- Nng.
01:26
- We'll see.
- Whatever.
01:28
- Okay.
- That was pretty neutral.
01:33
That was good.
01:35
- I'm sorry, but I have
to figure this out.
01:36
Okay, I'm gonna--
we're gonna switch it.
01:38
We're gonna switch it.
We're gonna switch the boxes.
01:40
- It took him a second
to look at it.
01:45
- I'll keep it.
01:49
- It's interesting, 'cause
you start to take in
01:50
a lot of reverse psychology.
Are they overacting,
01:53
overreacting, keeping
it mellow?
01:55
Is it a genuine reaction?
So, then you start running back
01:58
and forth.
- You're thinking too much, bro.
02:01
- Well.
- Or I'm thinking too much.
02:02
- I'm gonna take whatever's
in this.
02:05
- You took a sec
to look at it
02:07
and I think that if
it was white,
02:08
it would have been like,
that's the white one,
02:10
but it was kinda like,
is that kind of brown?
02:11
- Okay.
- So, I kinda feel like
02:12
maybe you do have
the bad one.
02:14
- Okay.
- You're kinda giving me
02:16
reassurance, but you're not.
Oh, this is hard.
02:18
I think I wanna keep them.
02:21
- (FBE) Go ahead and open
your box.
02:23
- I have to--
right now?
02:29
- No!
Are you kidding?
02:33
- A nice vanilla milkshake.
- This is humongous.
02:37
That's disgusting.
- It's like chocolate.
02:39
Like mine's vanilla.
- Yeah.
02:41
Yeah, let's bond over this.
02:42
- Cheers, cheers.
- You're welcome.
02:44
Okay.
- Yum, who made this
02:47
vanilla milkshake?
02:51
- Is it bad?
It can't be that bad.
02:56
- It has a little sting.
02:58
- Okay.
- Your stomach is not
02:59
gonna feel good after this,
by the way.
03:02
- What do you mean?
Why?
03:03
- You're gonna get
[bleep] up.
03:04
- You don't know.
You only know from
03:05
your own personal experience.
- You're gonna have diarrhea.
03:06
- One a scale from one to ten,
how sourey is it.
03:08
- I'm getting red right now.
03:10
- I'm feeling okay.
- You know what's horrible?
03:12
Is that you guys are
starting off easy.
03:14
- (FBE) This next round
is gonna get a bit shocking.
03:16
- [Bleep] A.
03:19
- (FBE) One box has a device
designed to give you a fun shock.
03:20
- Are you [bleep] serious?
03:23
- (FBE) While the other box
is safe.
03:26
- I'm more nervous now.
That one's harder
03:27
than drinking something gross.
03:29
- (FBE) So Brandon,
we're going to start
03:31
with you this time.
Go ahead and peek
03:33
into your box.
- Because I don't wanna
03:34
have you cheat or anything,
I will remove my glasses
03:36
because there's a reflection
on the glasses.
03:40
- I can't detect what's going
on in his mind.
03:52
It's hard, it's hard.
- I'll keep it.
03:55
- Tough decision, huh.
- Such a tough decision.
03:58
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna keep it.
04:01
- It's like I have so much
control of my fate right now
04:02
and I don't want that.
I'm going to keep my box.
04:05
- Well, I think that was
the worst decision
04:11
she's ever made,
so I'm gonna keep mine too.
04:14
Yeah, 'cause she definitely
has the shocker.
04:16
- Aw, I don't even know
what this is.
04:23
- No!
Frick.
04:27
What the [bleep]?
- Oh.
04:32
What is he shocking?
His brain?
04:34
- (FBE) When you're ready,
hit the white button
04:38
in the center and grip
the handles and Brandon
04:40
will give you a shock.
- I'm gonna die.
04:41
- My heart is pounding
so [bleep] fast right now.
04:45
Ugh.
- I feel so horrible
04:48
that I'm the one that
has to do it to you.
04:50
- ♪ (tense music) ♪
04:52
- Ow!
Oh my God.
05:01
- You ready?
I'm scared.
05:06
- Oh, what?
05:11
Ow!
It wasn't that bad.
05:14
It wasn't that bad.
- What?
05:18
- It wasn't bad.
[Bleep].
05:19
- I feel like I was attacked
by bees stinging me
05:21
at the same time.
- It was sweet.
05:23
It was short lived,
but boy, it was sweet.
05:26
- That was bittersweet,
because I won,
05:29
but also I don't like
that I had to be the one
05:30
to shock you, 'cause now
I feel guilty for winning.
05:33
- (FBE) All right, this final one
is a little spin
05:35
on eat it or wear it.
- Eat it or wear it?
05:36
This is the real game?
That's what it's called?
05:39
- That means we're [bleep]
leaving with something
05:41
on our shirts.
05:43
- (FBE) Each box contains salsa.
If you get the box
05:44
with salsa and chips,
you get to eat it.
05:46
If you end up with just the salsa,
you wear it.
05:49
- Head?
- Yo, I'm gonna be
05:52
so hyped if I get the
chips and salsa.
05:54
I love chips and salsa.
- I'm supposed to go
05:57
to dinner after this.
- Well, you can be
05:59
the appetizer.
- I'll bring the dinner.
06:01
I'll be like, "Chips, anyone?"
06:02
- (FBE) It's back to you,
Jeannie, to look first.
06:03
- I would appreciate if you
uncovered your face.
06:05
- No.
- This is called Poker Face
06:07
after all.
06:09
- My heart is beating...
- Me too.
06:10
- ...so fast right now.
06:12
- Oh God, that was hard.
06:21
- Is that cheating?
What a great strategy, honestly.
06:24
- Okay.
I'll keep it.
06:28
- There is so much riding
on this decision right now.
06:33
I'll pass it on to you.
06:36
- Now, there are a few things
that could be happening.
06:40
She could be doing my strategy
where I have the good thing
06:41
and she is telling me
she has the good thing
06:46
or it could be like the
previous incident,
06:49
where I said switch
and we switched and I could keep.
06:51
I think I'm going to switch.
06:54
- I think that you maybe
gave me the bad one.
07:04
I don't know why.
I just feel like it might
07:06
be in here.
Oh my gosh, I don't know!
07:08
Do I wanna switch it back
or keep it?
07:10
I think I wanna switch
it back.
07:15
I just feel like he gave
it to me.
07:16
Did I just seal my fate?
Why are you laughing?
07:18
- (FBE) Open your boxes.
07:23
- I knew it.
I'm wearing it today, baby.
07:26
The way the universe works
is that if you win too much,
07:28
you just end up losing.
07:32
- (laughs)
My God.
07:34
Oh my God, thank God.
07:39
- Let's do it, baby!
Salsa me up, fam!
07:49
- Whoa, okay.
It's getting over here.
07:53
Whoa.
- God damn, this is going
07:57
on forever!
- Whoa.
08:00
- This isn't a windbreaker.
It's seeping through my clothes.
08:04
- Ugh.
- They're good.
08:08
- Oh yo, go faster.
Put it all on already.
08:11
Yo, what the actual [bleep]?
Oh my God, it has
08:23
the texture of throwup.
- Yeah, it does.
08:28
- [Bleep]!
08:31
- This was really fun.
I'd do it again.
08:32
- Chips and salsa have never
really tasted so good,
08:36
not gonna lie.
- You wanna try some
08:38
of my salsa?
- I don't really want
08:40
any of your salsa.
08:41
- Give me a hug.
- Me?
08:44
- Yeah.

Key Grammar Structures
-
This is [bleep] up.
➔ Present Simple (be verb) + Past Participle (adjective)
➔ This uses a colloquial and emphatic construction to express something is wrong or messed up. The phrase functions as a predicate adjective describing the situation. The verb 'to be' links the subject 'this' to the adjective 'up'.
-
You're kinda giving me reassurance, but you're not.
➔ Present Continuous (giving) + Indirect Object (me) + Noun (reassurance) + 'kinda' (informal adverb)
➔ This sentence demonstrates the use of the present continuous tense to describe an action happening now ('giving'). 'Kinda' is a colloquial adverb meaning 'somewhat' or 'a little'. The structure 'giving me reassurance' uses the verb 'give' with an indirect object ('me') and a noun ('reassurance'). The 'but you're not' creates a contrast.
