The Talk Show Drinking Game
During 2010 discussion in The Chatroom during the live recording of The Talk Show lead to the creation of a probably-facetious drinking game. Because the show is typically recorded on Wednesdays at 12PM Eastern Time it is unlikely that any of The Chatroom participants actually adhere to the rules of the game.
The rules of the game dictate that participants, particularly those listening to the live recording, take a drink any time:
- John Gruber uses the phrase "I don't know," which he is known for doing repeatedly.
- John or Dan bring up their children, particularly when referring to them as "The Boy."
The game was first mentioned live on the air by Dan in the episode Market Share on February 3 2011.
