Episode notes

The hosts introduce the game and explain the rules, where participants have to guess the correct definitions of STEM-related words or come up with plausible fake definitions. Points are awarded based on guessing correctly or fooling others. They clarify the process and start the first round of the game.

Jerod gathers a group of friends for our first game show experiment here on Changelog & Friends! This is a game of obscure jargon, fake definitions & expert tomfoolery. Our contestants checked their imposter syndrome at the door, because they either know what these words mean or they fake it ’til they make their peers think they do.
