Let's go well last year, remember you got your first point late. I wish sweaty, I was freaked out. I approached it with too much, with the lack of confidence, Like if Hawk doesn't get a point,

he can't play next year. Nobody can. That's how nobody can. That goes for real. That goes to Parish, Marty Sauce and Hawk. If they get shut out, if they get rosened, they are out. So far, we've had three shutouts this year. So Mark Rosen will not be back next year, Kevin Gorg will not be back next year, and thankfully David Lambert also not back next year. So none of you want to get rosened. You want to get at least one Ben. You won a game

last year, you advanced around two last year. Welcome back. You're the fourteen seat. How are you doing. I'm doing great. I gotta be honest with you that this is the first time I've gotten nervous about this all week. So right right when I put the headphones on and you guys started the Initials game and the intro, I got but flies. So yes, I am. I'm nervous right now. But here's the deals. Can't see us.

Yeah, well, mus or perfect that shot. My confidence. Eric Stolhanski is the twenty three seed I've played. Yeah, you've played three games. You only had three points. This is a lot of a potential. We think you're a smart guy, we think you could do well. I think I had one

point in each of those. I think that sounds right. So that's all you need to next year. We'll make you fly back next year. From Brinsa Cola. I'm in Eric. What happens if you win?

Absolutely, Matt, make sure you're the thirty two seed. You have played four times, you have three career points. I was gonna wear O. J. Simpson jersey and I just couldn't get one in time.

One lucky winner will win one year of free haircuts at Great Slips at Great Clips Lon So and and and then Great Clips will donate a thousand dollars to the charity of my choice. Well, wow, let's probably let me. I got plenty of time to think about this. It's it's not charity. Changer is not in my Yeah, it's not Oja's illegal fun.

It's they're not in danger either. And Alicia Lewis, you are the forty first seed again. You know you've played four times, you have two three or points, you're looking for one. Anything you want to promote your You said you're done with the fair. So I'm going today actually come by to the Care Barn. I'll be there at ten thirty doing trivia of my own sports trivia which as okay, speaking of no one cares. You can get versions four and five of the Initials game. The pre sale is going on.

I think we're like two lush weeks away. Productions were ahead of pace, maybe two wish maybe three weeks away before care we start shipping them out. So I'm so self deprecating. This is a great thing, good for you, Corey. Yeah, it's awesome. We played at the cabinet, brought to the ca God I knew I liked you too. You guys, I should have seeded you both higher and the best two versions by a mile two. So if you like the first three days, two are better,

all right? No, Alicia, you are the forty first seed. Yeah, so that matters for one reason. Over Here in the corner is the Saint Paul Federal Credit Union Initials Game Vault. That's a real thing, the real thing. It's time for the jackpot. There are four packets in there. You get to pick which one and then when we pull up the caller, you could theoretically change somebody's life if they guess the packet that you select. Okay, let's do it now. It's time credit Union Initials jack Pot.

Yeah, that's right. The Saint Paul Federal Credit Union Initials Game Jackpot is currently a forty five thousand, five hundred dollars.

All right, Alicia, the credic gets that

are left, one, two, three, and eight. So not only did you decide the fate of the caller and potentially forty five in five hundred dollars, you could determine all of your fates as well. Wow, okay, I'm gonna do eight. Last three, We're going number eight. Before I do this, good choice, I should mention the Saint Paul Federal Credit Union initials jackpot. It goes up five hundred dollars every week. If the caller gets one letter in the right spot, they win two hundred and fifty

bucks thanks to Saint Paul Federal Credit Union. Which that's sweet. That's two hundred and fifty dollars. But if they discuss both in the right spot, then they're probably gonna have to buy Alicia a beer or two because that's pretty sweet that she nailed it and they win forty five thousand, five hundred dollars. Wow. Okay, all right, callers up, Good morning caller. What is your name and where are you from? Hey, guys, it's Ryan from Saint Louis Park. Ryan, you're right down the street. If

your name. Your name is your buzzer. If you get it right, you get a point. If you get it wrong, you're up for the rest of that item. You have to pronounce the answer correctly as you've heard.

So when you ring in your name, when you yell in your name or yell out your name, make sure you wait for me to call in you, just in case it's close and we need exactly do or replay

Here's number eight of double B. Clue number one commonly connected to schools, offices, or public buildings. Clue number two used to share information. First blackboard. All right, now we got to see who was second. Go back to the original one man. That was close too, because I think I think Matt and Hawk were right over the top of each other. Let's see clue number two used to share information. I'll do that again. I don't even know number two used to share information. I don't know Hawk.

I think it was huge, buddy, I really do. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie information. I don't know that. I'm right, I'll throw I'll throw guests at it. Go for it. Bulletin boarding and when the when the Noble four players play, we almost never have these controversies, and we get a bunch of amateurs in there, and it's always like six people yelling at once. Isn't it crazy? It shouldn't happen more or less. I think I just doubled my total. No, it's because like figures

it out at the same time. All right, Matt, you have the lead. Now you're tied with the Ben three apiece. That's a time. Leaver and Matt each have three, Hawk has two. There are four items ago, so everybody could still win. Here's number nine of double B. Clue number one often involves live music, specifically rock. Clue number two often has a bad reputation.

Chris tried to stop them all to himself and he caught it, and now he's tired for the lead like techno ball over there, Chris, Benn and Matt each happens to much. Alicia Lewis, You're not mathematically out. Each of you could run the table and time tiebreaker and still watch next year. You can

still win it. But you, of course each have three opportunities left to get into next year's tournament as well three way tie at the top. Here's number ten of double B. Clue number one considered fundamental. Clue number two is a basic unit. Eric, yep, building blocks. Ye still makes next years not even close to that. Alright, alright, Eric's in, all right, I got one. There you go. We're down to two. At least you need one of them two and you're mathematically up. But

now you're just playing for next year's tournament. Eric, you can you can still win this by getting the last two and forcing a tiebreaker. Everybody else, though, has three, so a point here for the three of them Hawk, Benn, and Matt would be gigantic. Here's number eleven of double will be Clue number one can involve individuals or groups. Ben, No way, Wow, go for it, boy band. That was a gamble. That was a gamble. I was going to have been unbelievable if you leaders

out for the rest of eleven. Clue number two this relates to relationships. Clue number three. This involves tension. Clue number four could involve a series of disagreements or conflicts. Clue number five involves animosity or hostility. Clue clue number six this is ill will or dislike Alicia. Yep, bad blood blood. That's the one bad bloods in the next. I am choking this all

right. So here's the old situation. We're getting to walk off either way, Hawk, Ben and Matt are all going for the win one of the three of you is, but Eric and Alicia is still get to play if I get it right. If Eric or Elisia gets number twelve right, then we have a three way tiebreaker for everything. But if one of you just gets this, it's over. Chris, Ben and Matt going for the win.

Good luck, good luck. Here's number twelve of double B. Clue number one are commonly metal clue number Matt, Matt for the wind ball bearings. That's a great master out. But see now you're on team Alicia and Eric, right because I can save you guys. Come on, guy, I had a swing early, so all right, Hawking Ben still going for the win. If Eric or Alicia gets to have been mats right back in this thing. Clue number two, often oval or rectangular. Clue number three
