Comic Transcripts

GENE: Next on our tour of the Lucky Charms factory – this is the press where we get our marshmallow mixture.

JEAN: What’s being pressed in there?
GENE: Leprechauns, mainly. Also clovers, Guinness, green stuff, and James Joyce novels. Did I say clovers already?

JEAN: Wait a minute. So the leprechaun in the commercials is a cannibal?
GENE: In his job, once you get to a certain level you start getting paid way too much to ask what’s in the cereal.

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.
