The mistakes on the air make sense when the game features Desert Bus: where you drive from Los Angeles to Arizona at a constant 45 mph. It's based on a real stretch of road - pretty much straight, and nothing to see along the way. You cannot pause the game at all, if you veer off the road at any point, you lose, and the bus has a slight misalignment to the right, so you can't just put the controller down. It plays in real time, so it takes 6 hours to complete this part of the game. When you finish it, you get one point.
Or how about in any other part of the game, when you pause the game, you're stuck watching a 5 minute video of Penn & Teller eating pizza before you can unpause it.
So I expect today's show to be even worse.
