Missi Information makes a triumphant return to the podcast* to conduct a thorough auditing of the existing rules, and review how well we've been following them. We get into the weeds and look at what we've learned, and how it applies to our lives today. Plus, Missi brings an award-worthy audio demonstration of the Monty Hall Problem, with unprecedented audio production value, and we take the typical detours into international Taskmaster variants and silly voices.

You can find Missi's podcasts on The Missi Information Superhighway and see her stream on Twitch with RadioFreeMultiverse.

*I'm personally referring to this episode as "Miss Ⅱ nformation" which if you can't tell on the small type is a roman numeral 2 which is a joke that only works in print and not audio (and even in print it's belaboured) so that one's a special treat just for you reading this.

Timothea Armour (artist, friend) joins the show to discuss 3-(no win no fee)-sided football, being contrarian, and playing/appreciating the heraldic aesthetics of sports. Plus we get into the arts of table tennis and sound design, and the show is forever changed (as usual).

Fans of mysterious beeping: rejoice! This week's episode we are joined by Bryan Da Silva, who is reporting on location from Vancouver General Hospital. Bryan and I discuss committing to the bit, and some very silly games including Blaseball and True American and one nameless game to make a workday more exciting. Plus a new rule is introduced that demands a new tab on the ol' Rules of the Show spreadsheet.
