LORETTA: What are you doing still in BED? I asked you to start loading the car! We have to be OUT THE DOOR in FIVE MINUTES!

[[LEROY doesn’t move.]]
LORETTA: COME ON COME ON COME ON! Get pants on! Get shoes on!
I swear, getting you to MOVE is like a lame, one-legged ANCESTOR OF A SLOTH WHO’S TWICE AS SLOW trying to use a frayed old piece of CRUNCHY VINE to pull a CRUISE SHIP!

[[LORETTA leaves.]]
LEROY: I ended my DREAM without being asked!
I’D LIKE A LITTLE CREDIT FOR THAT!

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
