A Game Show Built on Kindness: The Jacob Wysocki Episode of Game Changer

In this heartwarming episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, Frank dives into a powerful and emotional moment from Dropout's Game Changer. This week’s episode wasn’t just about laughs or clever improv—it was a gift. Built around longtime Dropout regular Jacob Wysocki, the show became a celebration of his resilience after a difficult year. From a surprise visit from his father to custom-made trivia questions, the episode was carefully crafted so Jacob couldn’t lose—and walked away with $100,000. Frank also shares Jacob’s earlier moment this season when he donated his winnings to a nonprofit close to his late mother’s heart. It’s a story of community, kindness, and a reminder that entertainment can do more than entertain—it can lift people up.
