Okay, So I thought we could do a little pregame show to yacht Rock Trivia tonight, Wow by testing the quiz master. Let's make sure he's worthy of hosting yacht rock Trivia.

Oh no, what if I failed? We have call it off.

I would like to award Ben and Christina each ten dollar points. Okay, you have ten dollar points. And what you can do is you can wager before I ask a question. You can wager how much you think if he will get it right or if he will get it wrong.

Okay, all right? Are there any clues as to what they should do? Or yeah, I'll ask the question first. You just try to get to hear it. Okay, good, We get to hear the question, and then.

Y'all can see me react to the question, or maybe you don't react, or maybe you're good at this.

Yeah, I don't react. Okay. How many questions are there.

Like that?

Which seminal yacht rock album took two years to record and was the most expensive record ever made at the time in nineteen eighty.

Once you told him a year, he's covering his face so he can't see if he knows it or not.

Yeah, ladies, first, yes, I will.

Three dollars he gets all right, God don't know.

I'm gonna go five dollar points if he gets it right. Once you told the year nineteen eighty, his brain was like, yeah, got it. You didn't need to tell me that. Galacho by Steely Dan was recorded in nineteen eighty.

It is correct.

It started immediately after they released Asia, but it did take multiple years, including uh, the engineer who built a drum machine specifically for them to capture the sound. That is right, Ben Roger Nichols, I believe was the name of the engineer, Christina up to thirteen. He just told you what the engineer had for lunch that day.

Yeah.

Basically, who was the inspiration ye for Toto's song Rosanna?

Want you to have to go first. That's not fair to you. Super I'm gonna say fifteen. I'm gonna bet fifteen dollars points.

That's your whole nut This is this your cat his whole nutting there, Christina.

I'm bad at gambling, so I'll do seven that he gets it right.

Yeah.

The problem is that there's controversy about this because they say it's Rosanna Arquette, who the band knew at the time and later married Peter Gabriel. But there's a lot of controversy about whether or not that is acts actually true.

Okay, so you're saying Arquette.

I'm just worried about if they had the writer of the song Saide because I've got the quote from the writer.

Of the writer of the song says it is not about Roseanne Arquette specifically, but that they knew her at the time. The writer of the song is it's one of the Uh he's a DP guy.

It's about no One in particular. That's what he said, and you talked about it.

Yeah, I mean it's what he said.

It didn't trick me, but I should have stuck to my guns. Yeah.

Answer, But the way you phrased the question was to force him to come up with someone named that it was named.

My problem is.

That I My problem is that I couldn't name another Roseanne. Yeah, the Roseanne bar.

Uh what it was? This is controversial that it's too it's too controversial.
