New microphone! It’s a lot fancier! I have to make some adjustments! This week on the Garnet Wager, we’re tackling Season 2 Episode 2 of The Genius, plus an episode of Lucha Underground on our homework… and a little bit of questionable audio! Sorry, folks. It’s a Blue Yeti, it’s a damn good mic, and …
Season 2 begins… NOW. A new house, a new cast, new rules, new games… and a new podcast gimmick to match. Six and Allen are playing Fantasy Genius this time around, drafting teams of Genius contestants to compete in a battle for fantasy points. As we dive into the first episode of this new season, …
On this quiet week, Allen and Six gather with Genius Online founder Shane Raymond to play a variant of Gyul! Hap! Afterwards, they ready themselves for season 2, reading the bios of all the contestants. Lots of new players, but a few old favorites as well! Season 2 of The Garnet Wager will arrive… June …
The stage is set. The players are ready. Season 1 of The Genius will come to a close. Who will be the winner? And on the podcast side, which host prevails, accumulating more garnets than the other? To whatever end, it all ends here. Episode 12. The Season 1 Finale. The Garnet Wager is not …

They weren’t talking about facial expressions! Dammit, BOTH of us lost that wager. Allen and Six are back for Season 1 Episode 9, and I hope you’re ready to make a BID for success. That’s an auction joke, folks. Well, more pun than joke, I guess it wasn’t really funny… at all…. After the Auction …
I hope you aren’t like Allen, and jumped from Kong to Donkey Kong: the barrel-throwing simian is unrelated to this week’s episode of The Genius, I’m afraid. In a struggle between the players’ greed and their survival instincts, who will prevail? After a brutal Main Match filled with deceit and betrayal, we head into a …
It’s time to duel, y’all! Grab your decks, deal the cards. We’re starting off with a special card game based on Blind Man’s Bluff that Six made special for this episode, then we’re going straight into a different type of card game: Open, Pass, this week’s Main Match.
