In this Episode… boffing, neither Dre nor Mike get the term “Gambit” right but Mike has a better excuse because unlike Dre he is not an internationally ranked chess player, Mike doesn’t care and introduces Slater’s Gambit to the show, the boys briefly pivot to covering Happy Endings and The Knuckles Show, the creepy peeping peepers of a lizard man, short-cycle generation gaps, Dan stans the Psy Corp, the brothers compete to say their last name in a practice buzzer question, and Dre finally gets in the last word.
