BILL: AH! Urgh! I feel sick! Weak! Depressed!
BILL: ENNUI!

BILL: I hate my life. I’m wasting my talents. If I had a better job – then I’d be happy.

CHESTER: What are you talking about? You’ve got the best gig going!

CHESTER: I sweep up poop all day long! YOU measure SUPERMODELS for UNDERWEAR!
BILL: Yeah, but I wish I was doing it in space.

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.
