[[Two men, BLORNSBY and CRANDLETON, stand together in conversation.]]

BLORNSBY: Isn’t it amazing…doctors used to blame illnesses on HUMOURS. Imbalances of theoretical internal fluids. Black bile, yellow bile, phlegm…! Nobody knew what “phlegm” WAS, but it sure was important!

BLORNSBY: Thank goodness we left THAT nonsense far behind.
CRANDLETON: Right? It’s like, get with the SCIENCE!

[[Crandleton is holding a glass of something.]]

CRANDLETON: Oh! I’m so rude… can I offer you some shake?

BLORNSBY: It looks tasty!
CRANDLETON: Chemical-free wellness cleanse! It’s AMAZING for flushing out toxins.

You know what REALLY gets the toxins out? A good old-fashioned bloodletting.

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.
