REGINALD: Yeah! How about: “I have inasmuch as the sign, and same I am opened on my eyes…”
GLADYS: Who let the dogs out!
HANS-OLOV: Darling, please. Ace of base?

REGINALD: Yeah, uh, how about this one: “Who left the dogs for the exterior?”
GLADYS: SWEET HOME ALABAMA!

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
