One man has a very unfortunate experience on a live television show and is now living with the consequences.

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Magnet Theater, New York on Sunday 26th October 2025.

This show was performed in the dark, with the house and stage lights down. When prompted for a suggestion for where the show could be set, an audience member suggested Shark Tank.

The recording is of the live show in its entirety, with sound effects added in post production.
