After half an hour, he goes on a great streak and is feeling great... and then someone starts knocking. He goes to answer it and he finds that the bath has been overfilled and is spilling out into the nearby rooms, and his drainage isn't working. He hastily comes up with an excuse that he fell asleep and gets the engineers to fix it, and the hotel reception is surprisingly chill about rooms being accidentally flooded. Also, thanks to GossipEvolution, Connor had to hear from multiple people that he didn't just flood three rooms but ended up having everyone believe he flooded ''four floors of the hotel.'' This won "Most Monke Moment" for third Awardw!

[[folder:Episode 178: Our Biggest Dating Red Flags]]
This episode is conducted more like an ''After Dark'' episode. The boys bring up a trait in their hypothetical date, and they each opine on whether it's a red flag (avoid), green flag (acceptable), or beige flag (ambivalent).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd9lrl8021Q "Has only watched basic anime, but says they are a weeb."]] Joey says red, Garnt says green, Connor has no opinion. Garnt likes that trait because it's a great opportunity to help expand his partner's horizons, while Joey's averse to the weeb label because he equates it with being a Japanophile -- in his words, "that's just racist!" Garnt and Connor were not prepared for Joey to suddenly discuss racism.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bnN3aJywwg "Having an obsession (e.g. Disney adult)"]] After narrowing it down to "Disney adult" levels of obsession, all three call it a red flag, to Garnt's and Connor's surprise, as Joey's girlfriend is a big Disney fan and visits Disneyland often. Joey bends over backwards to deflect the "Disney adult" label, starting with calling her a Kingdom Hearts fan, to which Connor retorts "that's worse" and he concedes to that. Mudan even edits in an Always Sunny meme depicting the lengths Joey is going to defend his girlfriend.
* "She's a 10/10, but she pours milk before cereal." Joey, being neutral on the topic, says green. Garnt and Connor, however, are jokingly passionate on the subject, with Garnt saying red and Connor saying "To the streets!"

The winner, however, goes to Ludwig talking about masturbating 18 times in a day, winning at 37% of the vote. Garnt wonders what exactly Ludwig was jacking off to, and Joey jokes that it's [=ShindoL's=] porn.

** Joey notes that the VillainProtagonist is basically an {{Expy}} of [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]] before equating ''Kuroinu'' as the hentai adaptation of ''Berserk'' "with even more rape", which sends Garnt into hysterics.

* As they get to talking about anime, they start criticizing the Swordsmith Village arc of ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' for all its ArcFatigue, starting with the flashbacks in each episode, and leading to how much the Upper Moons [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake refuse to die]]. Garnt would be more surprised if an Upper Moon ''stayed'' dead if beheaded.

* When talking about how they get back into the habit of gaming, Garnt talks about playing ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediSurvivor'' and considers starting ''VideoGame/EldenRing''. Connor brings up how he's started playing ''VideoGame/BloonsTowerDefense'' after watching a video essay on that game. Joey then chimes in with "casually gotten into ''Minesweeper'' again" which sounds so bizarre to Garnt that he breaks into laughter.
* They also discuss cosmetics and Garnt gets a little irritated about character customization in games where you can't see most of your character anyway (such as ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' which is first-person for most of the game). Joey and Connor, however, like the MoodWhiplash that ensues when their goofy-looking character breaks the tension of a serious cutscene.
* When segueing into idle games, Garnt talks about a museum management minigame in ''VideoGame/HonkaiStarRail'' which is such an uninvolved "make the numbers bigger" gameplay loop that Joey compares it to the stock broker sidequest in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}''. They laugh about it for a bit, but Joey admits that minigame is one of the best ''Yakuza'' minigames.

Joey and Garnt both enjoy it because it's such a trainwreck; Joey calls it "''Film/TheRoom'' of hentai" and Garnt describes it as being so over-the-top and outrageous that it somehow [[CrossesTheLineTwice loops back around from offensive to hot]].

* They talk of a time when they were going into a casino private room with Chad which has a strict dress code. One of the producers happened to be wearing a tracksuit and is disallowed entry... until the bouncer recognizes Joey the Anime Man, and then decides to bend the rules a bit for him. For reference, Chad, despite being enough of a casino regular to have private room access, has ''never'' experienced this kind of favor.
