Its so nice of Arin to use his one phone call from prison to record some Monopoly 😊

[@matthewbergeron3641]

Dan has made it around the board 3 times, has 3 monopolies, purchased 16 houses, killed off one of the 4 players and has locked arin out of 2 additional chances at monopolies. Arin has 4 Railroads and a dream.

[@Critchie273]

I don't even think he made it 3 times. He is half way around his 2nd go around when he bankrupts Felipe. Dude passed go one time and has 3 monopolies.

Dan getting a monopoly within the first ten minutes of playing is the most hype thing ever to happen in Monopoly history

[@dogishappy0]

So glad the game footage didn't get lost again.

[@jkolbly1]

Literally on his second turn, and without any trades. The auction was pretty reasonable too.

[@Xakriuth]

Don't forget Marie going to jail in the first turn too. This game is pretty fucking hype

[@DuskTheBard]

Love that Arin was willing to record from the storage closet in the hallway so that Dan could have the entire couch to himself.

[@senatorsparky]

I don't know what everyone is complaining about, I'm glad to have the chance to use my ear trumpet to hear Arin on the wax cylinder he's recorded on

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Dan almost immediately winning the game by quickly getting all three light blue properties in three successive turns really shmaggagied Arin and the entire Monopoly world.

[@rueautumn8303]

It was technically all on his turn, if you don't consider the auction to be still Arin's turn. Honestly it made my day.

[@Ankaration]

When Dan can just completely decimate everyone instantly onna game it makes me so happy 😂

[@ryansauchuk7290]

He truly is Mr. Business

[@sadgfasdg542]

The game sucks because you can't make many customized game rules....i.e. I would like to be able to customize the amount of money to start with, also you cant have different house rules selected at the same time. I want free parking that gives you money when landing on it and landing on start doubles your money at the same time... these rules make it much more fun to play but it's either or in this version of the game. Played as is it's OBVIOUS the lower priced properties are the way to go because you can actually afford to build houses on it. Also when you are low on money you definitely want to morgage some of them to not let the other guy get cheap purchases via auctions cause you only have like 30 bucks left and he gets it for 31 bucks... basic logic.. Love these guys and love this series but this always pissed me off :D

[@Manigeitora]

The funniest part is that Arin absolutely had the power to avoid the entire thing by just buying that one $100 property at a point in the game where gaining a property is _only a good thing._ The price wasn't even 10% of his liquid assets, I have no fucking idea why he didn't just buy it.

[@MattLuceen]

Love that Dan is STILL “Player 2” after all these years

[@lemlem35]

This game sucks really bad; you literally can't change that lmfao (granted that they're playing it on a single pc/console which they do)

[@soulfulxstorm3716]

The way Arin says "FUCK!" Is so unique and poetic at the same time.

[@SuperIchi]

It figures that the round of Monopoly where Dan absolutely assblasts everyone is the one where Arin has mic problems :P

[@StoryoftheDays]

It is a miracle that this RNG was recorded for everyone to see. Unbelievable and the most incredible first part to a Monopoly I've ever seen.

[@fleurdelis329]

This episode is just the universe apologizing to Dan for all those Lose A Turns on Wheel of Fortune.

[@joshuapaul8580]

it's pretty crazy, BUT He did have the worst possible 1st turn, and he took a pretty big risk that was very unlikely to pay off by overpaying for the auction. So the game was seemingly repaying him on karma and rewarding his risk taking

[@benjamindebo9283]

It's not monopoly if Arin doesn't talk about city planning. Never change boys, never change.

[@wolfey1579]

The game grumps play monopoly once more to me is like reuniting with an old friend. I cannot count the amount of times i've had trouble breathing from laughing thanks to arin getting so angry. Honestly though, I'd better prefer when it's just dan and arin and not the cpu's. That's when the rage is most noticeable

[@origrammar]

Aside from the wonderful audio (it's funnier like this anyway), I love that even after dozens of Monopoly episodes, they still call it "buying properties" whenever they buy *houses* on their *existing properties* .

[@AllenMS828]

It'd be hilarious if after all this time, they play this with a Guest Grump who's like, "Um, guys? You do realize that 'managing properties' means managing the houses ON the properties, right?" And then Arin starts sputtering and claiming that of course they know, and it's just a gag. Then the next time they play, they completely forget and go back to calling the houses "properties", and we collectively go 🤦‍♂️. 😆

[@aniyilator]

I'm guessing that Arin's mic died

[@GlitchDude]

Even outside of the technical issues that were fixed in the episode, the dynamics are all over the place cause there's no dynamics processing on their voices for some reason, there's like at least 20-30dB volume differences between the loudest and quietest parts, and I'm 100% sure they compressed the mics in the past and just don't now, I remember way back when Barry posted the editing tutorial he talked about how Arin made a preset for the voice overs, I'm really not sure why they don't process the audio anymore, but if anyone from the Grumps team reads this, you really should look into that, cause when they're talking normally or a little quieter we have to set our device volumes a bit higher, and then if they start screaming it blows your ears out, out of nowhere (14:30 for example, the volume difference between Arin screaming and what follows it is actually insane)

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

@@GlitchDude 20-30 db? you are a crazy person with broken ears. do you have any earthly idea how large that is? every 6 decibels is a doubling of volume. 30 decibels is a THIRTY TWO times difference in audio level. i will give you 6 db, maybe *9* at the worst. and if any one of either your speakers, headphones, and/or ears can't handle that, you've got bigger issues on your hand. .

Given that monopoly has so many types, I would love to see a late stage capitalism edition. One player is randomly selected to own every thing and every one else starts at $0.

Not an editing issue. When a mic sounds like that, it usually means they had to cut out background noise, like a humming or buzzing. Editing can't fix it unless you want the mic to sound like Arin's in a cafeteria.
