The Card System is a penalty system conceptually similar to that used by referees in soccer/football, where cards (such as a yellow card or a red card) are issued to the co-hosts for bad behavior. The idea is to penalize offenders for various infractions, such as not staying on track. The type of card given is commensurate with the severity of the infraction.
Usually Ben blows a whistle when a card is issued.
Below is a chronological list of penalty cards issued by The Commish (Producer Ben), as well as when and why and to whom they were issued.
