Good Game, No Rematch by Mike Drucker is out now.

The Craziest Day of My Entire Career is a segment where folks join us to talk about some truly unbelievable stories from the entertainment industry.

This time around, we're joined by comedian and writer Mike Drucker. He recently wrote the book Good Game, No Rematch: A Life Made of Video Games. It's part memoir, part exploration of the history of video games – a topic about which Drucker knows and cares deeply.

Mike has had his fair share of crazy days – he's written for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Bill Nye Saves The World, Adam Ruins Everything, and Saturday Night Live. As a standup he's toured the country and played more venues than he can count.

But for the craziest day of Mike Drucker's career? It all comes back to video games. It all happened at a paintball game when he was working for a little company called Nintendo.
