ANDREA: Another Valentine’s Day.
LESLIE: Another depression day. God, I hate getting it rubbed in my face that people are so gullible.

LESLIE: Corporations tell girls to tell guys to spend money. And girls giggle and do it. They make guys feel like they have to jump through these stupid Hallmark hoops, or else. It’s just sad.

ANDREA: Still, sometimes it’s nice to run ’em around a little.

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.
