Good morning. What is your name and where are you from?

Well?

Hello, my name is Douglas from Ohio. Douglas from Ohio. Let's go gotcha, Douglas. Are you originally from Minnesota or how'd you find this? I've just been in a Viking stand in my whole life. Love awesome and I let's listen to you guys. That's awesome.

For Van Buren. What this would be a Christmas miracle for Douglas. Doug would be a movie tug Dog.

Come on, Doug, you know, Doug, let's break down the math for a second. Nobody likes now that you know you have one letter right right. The other letter there's twenty six letters. The other letter, there's like eight letters that probably aren't very likely. You really have like a one in sixteen or so chance. Come on, of winnnd dollars, you realize that you're like one out.

Of sixteen at this point, give or take. That's how close you are. Give it to him. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, Unfortunately, that's just close day. Sorry man, oh man.

But Doug, you went two one hundred and fifty bucks thanks to saying Federal Douglas please.

Yeah.

So he gets beats. He he got the the easy letter, he got the B. The other one was going to be very tough. Qu yeah, B. And then we have a vowel R. Nope, uh, eighty five hundred dollars.

Del Young Park tied the most correct answers in the game. Sauceted it first in game one twenty six. A j did it in game one ninety nine.

Those are nine, But do we know how many in a row? Is the that's the most cracked in a row of eight?
