Griffin and Nick Present: PoolGames Inc 2.0 (with Justin, Tara, Patrick, Simone and Clayton)

[@turkeygrasslesnatch4742]

"Let's place bets! Will the beer get in the mouth or will the water get in the boy?"

[@rachelturner693]

20:37 you can hear justin just Losing his Mind

[@CapTheNPC2]

Pool Boys are back! Sidenote: I fucking LOVE hearing Justin in the background laughing.

*human feet

[@Vivat_Veritas]

"Sorry I didn't save your show, pool idiots" is something that i will remember for ever.

[@flairhayden]

TheExplorerOfTime will remember this...

[@dukerayburn]

It's such a fucking good line.

[@Vivat_Veritas]

I haven't forgotten.

[@idiopathologic]

I came back specifically to hear this line again, I love this damn thing.

[@strawberry_boicake]

did you forget yet

[@Russianbluez]

i won't lie, i would watch a podcast where the crew of polygon got drunk every week in a pool and talked game ideas

[@PAPAYADRANK]

this is my ideal podcast gimmie that soggygon

[@jabelsjabels]

soggygon ahh it's perfect!

[@shawnaeatscats]

It doesn't even have to be once a week it could be once a month it'd be so worth it

[@USBmi]

When Griffin mentioned a “sexy bowser game” I don’t think he knew that he just predicted _the single best and worst thing to happen on the internet,_ Bowsette.

[@ghostsax]

as the old proverb goes, "the deeper you get, the more boy you see"

[@hickorymccay2994]

I read this to the tune of Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey by the Beatles.

[@artdotjpeg3893]

nicks phone is going to give me a panic attack

[@Skyward-lx5kd]

goodness gracious, he even places it there almost on purpose. I hate it

[@devinallen4239]

Almost nothing. It's definitely 100% on purpose.

[@handsnanitizer]

art dot jpeg me too

[@edge0fheaven690]

art dot jpeg same tho

[@evanneff7776]

Our boy just cares about his lens. Can't go scritchin it up on the hard stones. Nick knows what's up.

[@calfilkin9194]

thank you sweet boys for reminding me I have a crush on each and every polygon employee

[@Trissthirteen]

Cal Filkin ESPECIALLY SIMONE AND GRIFFIN

[@greatturning]

BUT ESPECIALLY JUSTIN AND TARA

[@throwachair4574]

also clayton

[@username-1999]

nick is such a babe ;)

[@ytisnottwitter]

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ATTRACTED TO AMERICA'S BABY BROTHER! I'd let Nick have be though

[@cowzoo5577]

Why is Tara so OP

[@shawnaeatscats]

"........INVENTORY MANAGEMENT." Edit: Also, "TARADISE." What a fucking queen.

[@cloud_and_proud]

She seems extremely drunk.

[@Spo8]

@@cloud_and_proud that only makes her stronger

[@pauldee1577]

Shhh, don't bring it up, the devs will nerf her

[@HinariSenjo4818]

"Maybe we're the real creamers" omfg I LOST it, my stomach hurts now

[@munawaerainiwaer3812]

I love that the guests don't have anything to sit on so you're that torturing them in a Eric Andre show-esque way

[@canoestir]

Simone's flashback to the cronch is so good

[@OliviasAnimation]

I want a game about the rat that ran across the fence

[@kdprodd]

OliviasAnimation me too, tho.

[@patokoira7069]

But they did announce it already, "Moss", was it? Or was it "A Plague Tale"?

[@engideergaming]

um that was a lozord

[@ibeperson]

Tara Long is secretly the funniest fucking person at Polygon

[@CarnSarnit]

Her dry sense of humor provides a good contrast to the goofballs.

[@IcyColdStare]

It's no fucking secret anymore

[@RussellIhrig]

Her episode about the Basketball Ignoring Simulator is still my favorite.

[@BorisB2850]

Too much movement

[@The_Tiger_Lily]

ibeperson "congratulations to me"

[@armyfootball2009]

Displaced water only measures the volume they take up, not the weight. I can't weigh these soft buoyant boys!

[@Hellooo134]

Yeah but humans all have pretty similar density, actually most life does because we all have a bunch of water in us

[@NicCagetheDickMage]

@Joshua Steele a muscly boy and a chubby boy that weigh the same will displace different amounts of water

[@12345678abracadabra]

@Joshua Steele muscular people have higher densities

[@baileyroca1216]

I'm watching this from my bathtub in my pjs so I can feel included

[@The.Lone.Wolf.]

Bailey Roca I know, I can see that.

[@IodineNC]

These boys cracked open a cold one before the show even started!!

[@kdprodd]

Andrew M GOD DAMNIT 😂😂😂😂

[@annoyingorangedipshit]

I'm so fucking blessed to have this boiled boys and friends content in my life

[@kittensurgery2600]

the instant tara says that thing you can see physical pain and euphoria on griffins face

[@wharfroach6043]

im having a heart attack on behalf of nick's phone

[@Darthozzan13]

His water resistant phone? :p

[@LordLOC]

Griffin's laugh is like medicine. It makes you feel happy, and should be a controlled substance.

[@alantremonti1381]

You know about the Car Boys Sun Chips laugh, right?

[@Jack-fe5rn]

Justin audibly D Y I N G in the background is what really makes this

[@annasanchez5877]

i just....love everyone who works at polygon. like, jesus. they're all so funny and are such nice, genuine people. also, they're Very Drunk and its Good.

[@greatturning]

After watching that slow-zoom segment on Nick and Simone, I think they may have been more than drunk! XD That legit made me remember what being high was like.

[@CupertinoEffect]

The protagonist of Dramatical Mordor should be Susan Crushbone. That solves Griffin's problem of dating sim characters not having any reason to make out without needing to dilute the dating aspect. All the motivations are built in.

[@giggleloop13]

Aczom damn I wish I'd thought of that?!?!? that's fucking great. 🖐️🖐️

[@MagicSwordKing]

Polygon video is pure joy. I adore every one of these sweet soft boys and girls.

[@SamsaraTAS]

poolgames inc 3.0: nick wears socks on his hands and feet, places phone on very unstable and small floating pad in water poolgames inc 4.0: nick wears socks like a fucking zentai suit, uses phone underwater poolgames inc 5.0: nick becomes a sock, water replaced with phones, air between phones replaced with water

[@giggleloop13]

Samsara poolgames inc is Touch The Skyrim IRL, they add more mods each time, but we have to wait a year between episodes.

[@tingrouse]

“This bit about Dilbert's foreskin is brought to you by Old Spice”.

[@mas9089]

boiled boys

[@CarnSarnit]

Maliq Hayes Soft-boiled boys

[@louieblue5712]

Maliq Hayes boy soup

[@oliviatrollinger2326]

they're boy croutons in a boy soup. soggy soggy boys.

[@mmmpie]

steamy dumpring bois

[@Myserval]

seeing the words "old spice" presented over wet nick body percussion is not something i thought id be seeing e3 week

[@magicoA]

ERAT or wet simone's body percussion,which they purposely played halfway through haha

[@Myserval]

the shlop < the cronch

[@RockTheJake]

Nick holding his phone above the water and then laying it down halfway over the water stresses me out. Boys, be careful.

[@tammikilpi6993]

Just Aunts: Survival horror where you're a teen locked in a thanksgiving dinner with your 6 aunts who are all drunk and gossiping and fighting

[@DeclawedWildcat]

Splicing in the banana after "You put it in your mouth, how could it go wrong" was the fucking best editing I am dying

[@danerang]

I like that Nick decided to pull his phone out of his pocket when it was an inch away from a watery death

[@SpookyDeerArt]

S1gmus im starting to think nick is hoping for an accident honestly

[@legotrillermoth]

taaaraaa nick's taking my nutrieeents

[@friendlylittledragon4485]

alright! calm down, im coming.

[@AudioSuede]

I know this is potentially "too soon," but Cool Games Inc is too good of a show to let it die after Nick's departure. Might I suggest Tara or Pat or Simone as new co-hosts? It's just...I just started getting into the podcast like a month before everything went to shit.

[@audrey4170]

I sure do love watching Griffin sit alone in the hot tub making jokes while every so often inviting others into the tub with him and no one else

[@44caliberclark47]

Me, too! He really has a nice time by himself without any other people! Such a great video, and such a great comment you've made because in order to enjoy this content, that exactly how I had to think of it as well.

[@jmcrofts]

Those human plunger noises scarred me for life

[@FirstNameLastName-vv5qg]

so are we not acknowledging clayton's exit or

[@Foopetsrocks11]

When Terra said "kinda something in between" I laughed so hard my jaw locked up.

[@himynameishelen]

"We won't do this a third year, probably" ....nope.

[@acciodance]

oof

[@dangxious]

Simone is the greatest and I would follow her to the end of the earth.

[@katclove]

Whenever I see you two in the title a tremendous feeling of peace washes over me. Thank you again Polygon.

[@BlakeMaloof]

17:08 Nick tries to steal Tara's booze but she teleports it back to her hand and tricks him into drinking from a different bottle.

[@clowelle6221]

griffin looks like he has the smallest body and hands at 22:53 and i'm crying.

[@NoMoreRunningAround]

5:02 "the pool is trying to... eat me" is a very underrated moment in this video

[@katyfaise]

Griffin is really winning the wet tee shirt contest this year.

[@crashie4949]

one of THE most fun games to play when justin is on camera is to see how quickly and how drastically the redness in his face can intensify when he laughs. on this video "garfield's butt" seemed to win it

[@infinitebats]

Speakin a creamers

[@daffycaesar3944]

I really hoped they would all enter the pool at the same time

[@HunterJE]

The short Italian plumber is very not smart, but the hat-symbiote is quite clever, so the gestalt being they form together is of about average intelligence.

[@Mooseplatoon]

Today I realized that Justin has made a career out of trying not to laugh with all of his might and failing miserably. The world is a beautiful place.

[@alantremonti1381]

He is hilarious in his own right, and it really is a "the sum is greater than the total of the parts" when the brothers get together.

[@kontakostyler]

SIMONE MAKING IT CLAP

[@bigpapajohnbacon]

Go to horny jail, please

[@stefslon]

the edit of clayton leaving the tub is the funniest thing ever

[@reznoire]

The ol pool socks.

[@SpookyDeerArt]

reznoire those are his hooves you bitch

[@reznoire]

that's not canon you bitch

[@Smothtiger]

20 min in watching and only then I noticed the "Presented By Old Spice" in red by the top right corner. Had a long laugh seeing that.

[@TheDoubleGrin]

Exactly what I want from Polygon. Thank you so much.

[@prkprk]

I can't wait for Nick's phone to just be obliterated by that hot tub water for his hubris.

[@laurafrakinroslin]

“We won’t do it a third time” prophetic words. I hope they do it without Nick, this was a fun format

[@norge0209]

Prettypinkdork I wish. I definitely didn’t expect Griffin to not be at this year’s E3 either.

[@roscoeoverhill8899]

my earliest yeah boy ever

[@172prv]

Tara Long should permenantly join cgi tbh

[@smoolz7818]

V Hinatsu no cause then we wouldn't appreciate her as much as we do when she comes on the show occasionally

[@dukerayburn]

You really have to moderate carefully the "no buts" you put into joke riffs. Tara is a SNIPER with hers, just incredibly funny with a shutdown. See also Simone's "nobody knows who you are and nobody cares" when Griffin suggested "Griffin McElroy's Broadway Dreams" for the VR acting game.

[@Biglittlehats]

i love hearing justin's sweet laughter in the background of extra potent goofs

[@GarArtStudios]

This was incredible and hilarious and I am kindly asking you guys put yourselves back in the hot tub for E3 2018, thanks.

[@Stereomoo]

21:10 "I need to leave the hot TUB" that emphasis baby

[@ianwark9547]

If you guys don't want to do Pool Games Inc again next year, maybe you should try not making it so dang good every time.

[@SoWhyAgain]

9:49 griffin: "speaking of creamers!!" nick: just spins around

[@nikofloros]

25:24 You were right... you won't ever do it again, Griffin :'(

[@LowGuppy]

I don't know what's funnier, "Somewhere in between" or the fact that this video is presented by Old Spice. I can just imagine the corporate Old Spice Men watching this video.

[@reneedriver606]

my favorite part is the fact that when they make a really good joke you can hear Justin laughing in the background

[@CNBat]

Justin's laughter in the background really makes this for me

[@Noelle808]

You can see Nick's hair melt throughout the episode

[@Beigerose13]

Oh my god Tara is a fucking icon holy shit I'm in awe

[@robinmoreau5224]

Nick using his phone is fucking stressing me out

[@commiecammie]

I loved seeing this edition of Polygon Soup, but my favorite part was hearing Justin's preemptive laugh at 9:15

[@scyence]

I feel my real gamer status returning to me. Thank you boys.

[@garlicbug]

Eric Andal welcome back

[@dirtman4200]

griffin's laugh at 5:17 was so loud that it woke up my cat even tho my headphones were in

[@duncanurquhart5278]

"Sorry I didn't save your show, pool idiots." -Justin McElroy, 2017

[@hyperspacecola]

I love how it starts out relatively professional and slowly gets even more amazing.

[@bunnygardenz]

my favorite sound is nick saying "mhmm" but its in the form of a sweet giggle from a sweet boy

[@GunslingerGreg]

I love that I can recognize Justin's laugh so clearly in the background

[@birdsareprettyrad]

The first pool games inc was the first polygon content I ever saw it led me down the path I'm on today, thank you

[@reeeeenie]

cgi usually makes me laugh but i completely lost it over Simone's Funny Wet Noise

[@idiopathologic]

Sorry Nick, zero dislikes so far. Looks like you guys are doin' it again next year.

[@lonestarlibrarian1853]

MicroscopeEyes So, I have some bad news for you...

[@ianwamsley2595]

Ouch

[@alonelyleek]

I love how there was a dramatic zoom in and in the background Griffin's just asking for more drink

[@remusz2743]

I love how the end just devolved into incoherent laughter

[@sierra3159]

Justin's laugh in the background is everything i love

[@Aaron-iy7rh]

Please put Pat in more Polygon stuff!

[@elihere]

hearing justin laugh off screen is the best thing

[@jamdoodles]

I spent this entire video being terrified for cell phones falling into a pool

[@ListerTunes]

This is the smartest E3 coverage of the year. Everyone should want more of this.

[@ultanoka]

whenever someone asks "what does it mean to crack open a cold one with the boys" ill just show them this video

[@NOTABOT2KChann]

Im uncomfortable with THIS many phones so close to THIS many water.

[@arcturusplays7773]

I can't believe I watched Nick and Simone jam out a reggie/keighley Hannibal AU.

[@Azriel12399]

This was the best thing Polygon has every created. Please just do this every day. I love you all.

[@kit_spin]

this is the best piece of video content of 2017

[@itsjustaburningname3685]

I just wanna say it's been one year since I discovered this podcast from E3 2016, via a random KZbin recommended video because I listened to MBMBAM. Ever since I've found Polygon and all the spinoff stuff the McElroys and Polygon crew have done. Thank y'all. I'm gonna get wasted in a pool in honor.

[@FullmetalJuggalo]

This is almost certainly the best KZbin video

[@MegDaunting]

Simone purposefully making that sound and then all three of them cracking up was adorable. Thanks for this guys!
