”Well, You’re wrong!”

Captain Tenneal

Near the beginning of each game, Captain is seen addressing the Grinders as a group, asking whether some broad assertion relating to one of the topics in the upcoming game is true. After the Grinders raise their hands to show agreement, the Captain usually declares “Well, you’re wrong!”, but in a few games, he actually agrees with the Grinders. He’ll sometimes defend his opinion by saying, “Of course I’m right, I’m the Captain!” After further explanation and give-and-take with individual Grinders, he bellows “Let’s go!” and leads the Grinders forward to begin playing the games. Captain Tenneal usually displays traditional attitudes towards social issues and speaks formally (calling Vic and Kenny “Victor” and “Kenneth,” respectively) and takes pride in both his military service and modest pension. He is the author of a best-selling book (Well, you’re wrong!) and is not above trading suggestive innuendo with the male Grinders, almost all of whom are interested in him romantically.
