DEANNA: …I mean, he and I have known each other since we were kids!

DEANNA: We never could’ve imagined that one day we’d become…[[DEANNA and GLINDA fade into the distance.]]

TODD: Become what? Partners in a whaling boat? Rival spoon collectors? Veterinary urologists?

TODD: At long last, the only remaining survivors of the ’96 Plague Class? Accidental astronauts? Deaf in the same ear? Child abusers? Each other’s dentist?

[[TODD turns around.]]
TODD: Cold war reenactors? Dressing up in old Soviet uniforms, photographic documents with tiny cameras…using phrases like “Checkpoint Charlie” in bed

[[TODD rides past the ladies again.]]
DEANNA: So we found some old TV antennas, spray-painted a basketball, and BAM! SPUTNIK.
TODD: YESSS

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.
