Number of the Beasts: 10k Watches Beast Games
🕑 Added 2025-01-21 11:22:22 +0000 UTCThis week, we watch BEAST GAMES, the game show hosted by Mr Beast in which he imprisons thousands of ordinary Americans and pits them against each other in a series of mundane games, largely for his own amusement.
We talk about the financing behind the Amazon Prime show, Mr Beast's struggle to become a household name, and why the the novelty and excess required to game the Youtube algorithm doesn't quite work on a streaming platform.
We also chat about Mr Beast's weird proposal picture to Mrs Beast, and why all game shows need to incorporate some element of gunge to make it truly work.

I'm very proud that I finished my doctorate, I insist (for now) that my students call me Dr., I tell all of them my PhD program was literally bad for my health. Hussein, you have more published books than I do, just insist people call you Dr Kesvani
