Cash Cab (Canadian game show) Puns

Hey you! C'mere! No seriously I need your help... What U.S. president had the shortest term of 31 days?

With completely randomized questions about things that they somehow have knowledge of (how many sheets of paper are in a ream, a magician question about strait jackets, who was the world champion of ping pong in a certain year, beet and irrigation questions, etc).

Michael, Dwight and Jim use their personal and random obscure knowledge to answer every trivia question Ben Bailey throws at them. Upon arrival to their destination, they are offered a chance to double their cash, or if they answer incorrectly, earn nothing. Ben Bailey tells them the topic is “bears”, and they can choose to accept the challenge or decline and keep the money they’ve already earned.

The last question is:

“What kind of bear is best?”

Jim immediately answers “Black Bear”.

Ben Bailey answers “sorry, the answer is ‘polar bear’. Thank you for playing.”

Dwight is frustrated and blurts, “that’s debatable!”, and tries to explain to Dan Bailey that there are two trains of thought as to which bear is best.

Michael, Dwight and Jim are permanently banned from using cabs in NYC.

Based on the game show hosted by Ben Bailey. Player One drives the cab in traditional Crazy Taxi gameplay, while Player Two takes on the role of the passengers answering trivia questions during each ride. A timed exclusive for Nintendo Switch with optional sideways-Joycon controls.

And your driver is Matt Mercer.

Coincidences are sometimes startling when they happen. Today I had one happen that was, well, kind of bizarre.

I was in the r/atheism sub and wanted to do a search for witches as they have been in the news more than usual here lately. I had the boob tube playing in the background and the popular quiz show "Cash Cab" had just came on. After the first group of contestants had loaded onboard Ben Bailey finished explaining the rules.

I was not paying close attention to the show and instead surfing Reddit. Just as Ben started to ask the group the first question I inputed the word "witches" into the search line inquiry for the Reddit atheist sub and hit the enter key. Three seconds later Mr. Bailey posed the first game question:

From the latin word for "hot" what large vessel is used as a crockpot for making witches' brew?

The correct answer is a cauldron.

I was a little taken aback by the mere seconds from entering the search term and the subject of Ben's question. Coincidence is sometimes unnerving when it happens. The odds are staggering when this kind of thing happens.

I’ve been trying for weeks and, no matter what credit card I use, I receive an error message that says “Zip code does not match billing address”. I contacted Looper’s support and they said to contact my bank. I did (even though 2 of the cards I used were issued from completely different banks). Both banks said it’s a problem with their (Loopers) site, not my credit cards. I contacted Looper support again and was told they would “look into it”. The show is tonight and I’m so bummed that I’m going to miss out because Looper doesn’t seem to accept Canadian credit cards. I’m just wondering if anyone else from Canada has been successful in getting tickets? Has anyone else outside of the US been able to?

This sounds really stupid, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about and could tell me the episode this happens in, I would be able to die happy. I believe it was on a Red Light Challenge. They were two very young men who (clearly) didn't know anything about sports.

I feel like it wasn't from the new seasons from after they brought the show back because the camera was low quality. Even if someone could just point me to some sort of list of all the contestants or a database of all of the transcripts or something so I could identify the guys and hunt down the episode, that'd be incredible. This is a video I need badly.

Edit: yeah, the downvoting is fair, there's already a much better post that is only 3 months old as of this post.

Thanks!

So I wanted to share the highlight of my day so far.

I called into one eb games (Canada) yesterday to ask if they got the wave 2 figures and pink in particular , the guy said they had pink in stock so I was like great I’ll come by tomorrow to pick her up.

I walk into the store this morning feeling confident that pink will be mine, I walked in asked the guy where the lightning collection figures were he showed me it and I seen no pink ranger

Little did I know the guy who just picked up the only pink the store had was about to walk out the store when he heard me asking for the figure.. haha just my luck 🤣

I ended up only getting Beast Morphers gold since I already got beast Morphers red and Magna Defender from Amazon, and still have pink for pre order on amazon but will be hunting around different eb games in the next week for pink since she will show up at more stores across Toronto. I’m now hopeful it will start popping up at more eb games in the week to come
