I'm gonna say, because we always forget one eight hundred three to zero five three two six, that's the number to call. So you could win big money right now, maybe sixty six right on the line. It's a lot of money. You're saying. I wanted to go to one hundred thousand just to say that we gave away one hundred thousand. But obviously it's at a it's at the point now where if somebody wins sixty six k. I mean, that doesn't sound as cool as one hundred, but that's a ton of
money. That's a ton, and somebody's gonna win it at some point, maybe, I don't know, maybe this morning, maybe today.

Todd from right outside of Marshall and some made up town is guessing h R. Now give it to him.
If he has one right, he wins two fifty. If he has him both right and wins sixty six k Does Todd have at least one? And is he alive for the jackpod? What a Todd? No? Sorry, Toddfortunately, No, H and R incorrect? All right, those are not the initials, Michael. One last time. Here we go. Let's go through the rules. I have twelve items. They can be people, places, things, phrases. It can be absolutely anything. Song titles, movie titles, people, whatever. Each item has six clues. I'm going
to start reading the clues. It's basically a riddle. You have to figure out what I'm describing. Who are what I'm describing. If you figure it out, you yell out your name. You say your name, that's your buzzer. If you get it right, you get a point. If you ring in and get it wrong, you are eliminated just for that item. So if you ring in and get it wrong, that's the strategy is. Even if you're the first one that comes up with it, then you are
not allowed to ring in again. We play best out of twelve. You have to pronounce the answers correctly. I think that's it right. All time record is nine out of twelve. Play hard. Lets go with your name. Your name is your buzzer. The initials for game five eighteen. Yeah, oh, they don't like when a bowels first O S. I knew it. The letter O and then the letter S are the initials. Let's go all right. Item one, yell at your name. The name is
your buzzer. Item one of oh S. Clue number one. Oh, by the way, one thing that we haven't sold said to the last couple of first timers, like the Vikings that have played in the last couple of months. If somebody else rings in, let's say, Sauce rings in, okay, they get five seconds to answer. But in that time, while they're thinking, if you can think of it, you can still ring in
and almost put your place in line. Does that make sense? So like, just as soon as you know it, just yell out your name, even if somebody already rang in. Gotch Just take a sing, Just take a swing, yeah man, all right? Number one of o S clue number one. The second word relates to entering a territory. Early clue number two, often connected to a covered wagon clue number three. This name emerged in nineteen oh eight clue number four, known for Cream and Crimson. Marny
yep, Oklahoma Sooners. That's what good one. That's a good one. Mary jumped out our scene, but did not physically assault Michael Grady, but appreciate that the wolves don't want you to hurt him. Marny takes the lead with Oklahoma Sooners, and she's on the board with one. I saw you almost punch him, you almost did. I saw it. Leave him alone. Marty has one. She has the lead. Here's number two of OS. Clue number one involves identity. Clue number two features a person or character.
Clue number three This is found in religion, folklore, and history. Clue number four features context or background. Marnie Marnie opening scene, Jeez, Marny is number two.

This is a narrative explaining a beginning or creation. Paul YEP five or three sentence, Michael and
Chris five origin story. Those aren't origin stories. Not opening sentence, not opening all right. Origin story is a tough one. It's a tough clues, all right. Marty with one hawk, with one sauce, and Michael yet to score, but there's ten items to go. Here's number three of O S. Clue number one. This debuted with the words early American in front. Clue number two originally targeted women. Briefly. Clue number three known for red and white. Clue number four this has a connection to Grand Turk
Star of the West Constitution and other sailing ships. Clue number five is owned by Procter and Gamble. Paul was first Ocean Spray.

Clue number three this has a connection to over sixty thousand people. Clue number four. This features a character named Brutus. Clue number five known for gray and scarlet
It Paul yep Ohio State. Michael got it. This is second late, Oh, Michael c A lot of first timers have that problem where you're a half second behind one of the pros. You had it just to split second late. Sauce gets Ohio State and is on the board. Chris has two, Marty has one. These are tough today. Sauce has one as well, but there's plenty of time. There's eight items left. Here's number five of o S. Clue number one involves availability. Clue number two frequently features
signs. Clue number three involves a reduction. Clue number four involves items, goods or products hawk on sale. That's right, those are things that are on sale, and Chris locked in. Chris has got it so far. Chris, when I said involves a reduction, I'm surprised Chris didn't throw something through a window. It's one of his least favorite things. Chris has three.
Sauce and Marnie each have one. Here's number six of OS. Clue number one debuted in the eighteen eighties but then again in the nineteen nineties. Clue number two has a connection to a Roman officer. Clue number three this can be found in the Atlantic. Clue number four features Americans, but isn't in America. Clue number five gold, red, black and white. Final clue clue number six, this is a Canadian ice hull. Paul Ottawa Senators
right, those are the Ottawa Senator. Yeah, Parish, I think would have had it earlier, but he's not here today, So screw him. I guess as he's screaming at his radio, going, yeah he's not up yet. Good point that Michael Grady should meet Mark Parris. They are not mourning people. They're want to sleep in all day long. All right, we're at halftime. Hawk has three, Sauce has two, Marni has one,
Michael six items Togo. You still got plenty of time. When you said in the Atlantic, all I could think was water stuff, like what kind of ship hockey? What kind of ship business? Okay, Marnie, good thing you went on. We got this halfway through the game. Here is number seven of o S. Clue number one this is a concept or belief. Clue number two is innate or inherited. Clue number three this was first Marnie, Marnie original sin, that is original. Yes, I guess.
Wow, nice job. And you broke the microphone. No, it's we com on Monday. I got you've broken your microphone. You know what I said earlier. I'm like, nobody's gonna be listening to a Memorial Day. We can just sleep in. Abbott text me you want to bet so he thinks the numbers say we should be here on Monday. I disagree. Uh, And even if the numbers do say we should be here on Monday, I still disagree. Hawk you have the lead with three. Thank you,
Sauce you have to now, Marty you have two as well. Nice job. Here's number eight of a WES clue number one. This features a connection. Clue number two commonly occurs at home Clue number three. This debuted in the late twentieth century. Clue number four. This is known for security and convenience Clue number five. This features a delivery clue Clue number six browsing but then eventually purchasing something. Virtually all online shopping. That's right, I
didn't have it. I could tell by the way you ring it. Okay, I didn't. That's online shopping one of Chris's favorite things. Are you doing it now? He's trying to win. He is all right, Michael, you still got four to go. Get on the board. You can do this. It's hard. He's almost at Ohio State. Hass has three, Sauce has three, Marti has two. Here's number nine of OS clue number one, often considered destructive or devastating. Clue number two involves a release.
Clue number three This can lead to skimming. Clue number four commonly involves a body of water. Clue number five This is almost always accidental. Final clue again, Clue number six. This creates a great amount of contamination until the wall. Oil spill is an oil spill in Sauce takes the lead too slow with oil spill, all right, three to go. So Michael, here's the situation. You were mathematically eliminated from winning, but you got to try to get on the board. You got three to go. I blame
the smelling salts, Sauce. You helped me. Sauce. You have four Hawk has three, Marty. You're not out of this either. Your two backwards hawks here is number ten of os. Clue number one can be heard. Clue number two. This is a road map, overview, or framework. Clue number three This is part of a presentation. Clue number four Hawk one. That's a great guess howk hawk out for the rest of number ten opens the door for everybody else we're doing to Michael Marney and Sauce. Clue
number four. This is an introduction of sorts. Damn it. Clue number five. This is not considered evidence she didn't ring in first though, But yes, Michael, you would have had no you were opening statement it up, Marty. That was a big point for you though. So here's the old situation, Sauce. You have a one point lead with two items to go, morning or both one point behind you, Sauce. If you get
you and me, you're the winner. So Sauce going for the wind hawk and Marty trying to stay in this, Michael trying to get on the motdogs. Daddy, you've been a split second lay, split second late on Ohio State and this split second late on opening statement. Almost at it all right, Sauce, you're going for the win ready, Yes, Daddy. Here's number eleven of OS. Clue number one often connected to understanding and insights. Clue number two, often not considered to be materialistic. Clue number three,
commonly considered wise or curious. Clue number four, This is a kind of person. Clue number five. You can technically be this at any age. Final clue Clue number six.

Ten years from now, he's gonna
deny that's his those that was me. That was me at least old student of the same marks. Okay, Marny and Sauce are tied for the lead with one item to go, one item to go. So Marty, if you get this right, you're the winner. Sauce, if you get this right, you're the winner. If Chris gets it right, we have a three way overtime tiebreaker. If Michael gets it right, he forces a two
way tiebreaker between Marny and Sauce. That's the situation. Here we go, Marny for the win, Sauce for the win, Hawk for the tie. Here's number twelve of as clue number one, often connected to an historical period. Clue number two is often connected to extensive training. Clue number three stereotypically not using English, Clue number four often extremely loud, Clue number five commonly
depicted as obese final clue clue number six. They are found on stage, often performing classic ball the Wind opera singer That's rights wrong, Sauce wins, and I feel like a broken record. But no one in the ten years we've been playing this has mastered the ringing in before the group better than Sauce. He uses it every week and none of you have ever done anything to stop him from doing it. You know he's gonna ring it early. Yeah, and a lot of times he's wrong, Corey. So I'm just I
just say, old student, fair comeback. That's a fair comeback he waits for just so is what happens now that you've won Game five eighteen? Thank you, Corey.

Hey, now that it's over, can I ask a question that is probably very stupid? I cannot wait to hear what this is? His open heart surgery? Two words Okay, I was just wondering because that was the only thing I could think of. And Oliver Stone. But I know Oliver Stones not for sure? You
go with Oreenthal Simpson. Oh, I don't even had that on my list. Yeah, and I put that in my own brain. I couldn't get it out. Yeah, I couldn't. When you said connected to historical periods, I thought it was Oliver Stone because most of his movies are connected to that. But I waited a clue and then waited all the sixth clue and then shot a three Wright Marnie Space and one. Can I ask you a dumb question? Right before the old student? Yes? Or what was the
other one? I said? Who knows? Can I ask you a dumb question? Yeah? Do you know what my favorite two word movie title is? Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.

more efficient in this ball game as well will be extremely important. Marns. Yeah, I'm I'm looking for a big ant game because I think he takes it so personally. When he knows he didn't play as well as he could have a shot off, He's going to find every opportunity. As they look at the film, He's going to be like, that could have been my spot, that could have been my spot. And I think he's going to try to get downhill and get to the basket and try to put this team
on his back and play like an old soul. Yeah, he's an old student of the game. He enjoys ocean spray and Let's hope he never in his life has to have open heart surgery. Take that, smart pants, both smart fans. No, he's going to do exactly like Marty said. He's going to attack the basket because he didn't la game because he was either
worn out, whatever it was. He's going to attack the rim. Yay Rosie, And here for the hottest of all hot takes, Chris Hockey Game two prediction, Go for it.
