out. We're down to Johnny Krazinsky and Zachary Halverson. The winner goes on to the semifinals. The loser gets ridiculed. Everybody ready, by the way, John, I assume you understand the rules. There's only three clues in a tiebreaker, a little more to the point, and if you get it wrong, of course your opponent can hear the rest of the clues before they are forced to answer. Here we go, Let's go for the win. Krasinski and Halverson c t Clue number one provide an alternate explanation. Clue number
two commonly features little or no evidence. Zach Zach for the win. Spiracy theory semi finals. Johnny k take a point five. Absolutely mad about that. But with this from carlyon, can I ask, is this the first week where if everybody has gotten a point so far this year? This this year were the best, definitely the best. We lost Rosen and collectively the number one seed data, collectively the number one data is inarguable. Yeah. So yeah, I cannot wait for power Tup Initials to do the research to
see how close you came to the record. We had Pa once said don cheatle fifteen times in the game. Kevin gorg Once guests Super America about thirty times in a game. So those two alone probably guessed that answer three or four times for different items. Wow, but my guesses were made sense. The only one you completely gambled on was crunch time right. The rest of them all fits. Yeah, it was good sense. It was a good performance. Parish. You were doing a lot of high five in over there?
Would you have crushed Marni? Marnie was on fire, I had. I was stuck with cakes Hopper in my head. That's why I was celebrating back there. And then thank God can Joined Twins came to me and I was just so you would have got to come, my boy, Gavin. I was just come on, let's go. I had like I had two or three baby, But can I tell you the one Parish guest wrong? And have you reread just the first like three or four clues to chicken tenders. Okay, let's go back. Oh no, I'll do the clues.
You tell me what he thought it was. Okay. Clue one was considered long and narrow. Oh, I don't know. I don't know what. Clue two was commonly golden or brownish, and number three intended to be hot or warm. He said cameltoe. He wasn't going from the joke. He was dead serious. He was at number four is one of the words of an animal. Yeah, he rang in number five. This is number five is often considered kid friendly. He was trying to come through the glass,
was right? Oh boy man, all right, So Zachary on to the semi final. Zach, it's now that you won. Well, Corey, through my papers everywhere you can tweet at me, at Zach Halverson and take at ABC will help through the end of Sunday. And one lucky winner when when they one hundred dollars Visa give card, guys don't care, don't care. Good one. That was good, Zacho that two straight weeks tat them last week on number twelve got into next year's tournament in Gavin out of Nowhere
with conjoined twins. Let's go. I think was it you that said like you were stray? I heard somebody say that it was me. Yeah, I'm like you were close, you just couldn't think of the word. And then you get right, yeah, like you know those you know the famous conjoint twins who live here who stayed joined. Yeah, no, yeah, okay, they store Rochester. Yeah, so they eat at spoon, Oh
do they? And so they're like, as he's going through the clue is their names are in my head side, I'm remembering their names and I'm like, well, wait a minute, what's the word? And then it Slumdog Millionaire monument. That's fantastic. That was all right? Got through, Carly. How are you doing? You feel all right? I'm a little sad, yeah, but I'll get over here. Did I put too much pressure
on you? Making you the seventh seed? You wish you would have been twenty third or something instead, because that's might might be where you end up next year? Wow, next year, maybe that can be a ram Bret. I thought Gavin was about to please included. I just I was willing to put money on you earlier this week, and I couldn't get them to bite on it. They were going to bet on Zach. I was gonna bet on you. I would have lost money. So I'm glad they checked
out. I'm glad nobody thought of John and I. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, thanks and not win, John, that's a big number that almost never happens to get five and loses, super rare. Yeah, but you did it. Iratulations for being really really good but also losing. They can't take that away from me. That's great, that's it. You should be proud of yourself. I think we learned with with Oak last week though. I think now you have nine career points, you're like top
twenty all time with this performance. How about that rockets you up the list. We'll take it. Yeah. Did you watch the Vikings game last night? Most of it? What did you think? Uh? Yeah, I thought Jalen reagor Ty Chandler ran the ball pretty well. Jalen Hall was a little shaky, but you expect that out a young quarterback. So overall, it's preseason. How much time do you spend on there? Uh? Once a week now starting and then at every home game I'll be at, so
including the preseason. So we'll get going on that. Alec Lewis is our main Vikings guy. He does an awesome job at the Athletic and I did great job. I just helped him out from time to time and chime in when I can. Let's let's be honest, John, You're mostly there for me to ask you if you have any wolve skiing, and I'm normally in front of you because I'm gonna get there first, and then the XT on like Friday night, uh, twelve thirty tomorrow, and you just go yep,
yep, I'll see then. Yeah, that's how you're the best. This is my favorite thing to do off here, and I think people mostly have figured this out on the air whenever he did earlier today, whenever sauces something something something about the NFL Hall of Fame. But that's what my sources say. It's like, okay, that's John Randall. Everything else is like you know what I'm hearing, I'm hearing blank, And it's like, so Krasinski texted you. Everybody knows your source is John, but he always like,
that's what I'm hearing. Yeah, as long as he doesn't say it, I'll loud. Just don't help me publicly. That's fine, Yeah, I got you sausage. I haven't yet. Yeah. I honestly think your rumors or you're reporting to him. I think you could feed him fake stuff all day. He would be just as excited. I just just he just likes hearing the gossip. I like to mix it up a little bit and get him excited. Everyone's in a while and he doesn't answer, I text him, Well, then I'll go to the other guy. Yeah. Yeah,
let me know how that works. Well. The other guy, by the way, of course, it was a part of a GM that once intentionally fed him wrong information. That happens once in a while when you don't know the rules of you know, sourcing. Yeah, it's it's delicate out there. You ever have you ever felt like somebody was feeding you crap?
How often does that happen all the time. It doesn't happen often, but it happens enough that, like it's you always have to double check with other people, Like that's that's the thing, because there are people that will and there are no bigger gossip mongers than executives in pro sports. Hey what are you hearing? I'm hearing this, I'm hearing that, and a lot of it is completely untrue, and so you's gotta have a large net to cast
and bouncing people. Gavin, what's new with your restaurants? What's new? Well, the new Bakery is open and he Dina the new Cooksbell Corp. We open that up about a month and a half ago, So that's been exciting. And you know, we're just we're gearing up towards some fun things this this fall, and we have actually a state Fair themed brunch that we're gonna do at Mare in the four seasons. We're gonna have a little fun just the week before State Fair starts. We're gonna do some fun things there.
So you can check that out. Go onto our website and check out that and make a reservation. It's sort of like a it's gonna be huge and fun. I taste a bunch of but the other day for sight. So if somebody's just a fan of all of your restaurants, not one specifically, is it's just better just to follow you specifically on social media? Or how do they keep track of the Gavin Cason Empire? Yeah, I mean
ga at Gavin Cason, especially on Instagram. I'm I'm more active on Instagram with all of our stuff because we do so many promotions through that, so that's probably the easy way to jump on. Got it awesome, Thanks having You're the best dude, Carlo. We love you. It just didn't go. It was a lot of fun, to guess. It's really good ones, all right, Zack and Grants man, look at you. Good job job Grants. All right. We'll be back up five thirty to nine on
