Summary

It's the return of that good old classic Brighter Side game, Hoop-A-Goo-Goo! The theme of this edition is “Signs of the Apocalypse.” Eddie, Amber, Ashley, and Julie filled a hat with what they consider signs that the end is near. Each round, a player blindly picks from the hat, and the other contestants are tasked with finding the brighter side of the chosen apocalyptic scenario. Cats the size of horses! Being a gravedigger is the only source of income. A giant woman reins terror from the sky! Tune in and learn who wins gloating rights. You can also watch us on YouTube now at youtube.com/@thebrightersidelpn
