One thousand dollars.
It's a delayed Christmas miracle. Good morning. What is your name and where are you from? Ted? Com coudon wrapping Ted? Ted from Coon Rapids, Minnesota.
Hi?
Ted, How are you good?
Ted?
Do you have a Do you have more than eighty one thousand dollars left to pay off.

M D M is in Minnesota, D as in Detroit, MD. It's going come in D M D.
Let's cool.
If he has one right, he wins two fifty. If he has him both writ he wins eighty one thousand. Does Ted and Coon Rapids with M D have at least one.
Correct? Does he have one right?
No?
Sorry, I'm sorry, Ted, it's tough.
Well, we have one of the situations where he did have a letter in the wrong spot because the M is the second letter the initials for game five five four, we're going CM CM a couple of rules for a couple of first timers. If you can think of something in your head with CM, don't say it out loud right because it might be an item later in the game, So keep possible answers to yourself.
You yell out your name. Your name is your buzzer. If you get it right, you get a point. If you get it wrong, you're out for only that item. We played best out A twelve. You have to pronounce the answer correctly. When you ring in, you do get five seconds.
So like if Marnie rings in and says Marnie and she's thinking about it, if in that five seconds you're like, oh, I have it, yell out your name and almost kind of hold your place in line. If if somebody else is thinking, you can jump in and say your name as well, and just wait your turn.
Any other questions you guys ready to roll.
It's been almost twenty seconds since you've said the initials and I can't think of one.
I'm jacked.
I'm ready.
That's probably not a good sign.
All right.
Here is item one of CM.
Clue number one has.
Been seen on the International Space Day.
Clue number two.
Its origins have connections to Jamaica.
Clue number three.
It often is associated with bunnies or cows.

Cat catcher's mitt.
I said mask.
Oh did you really? I talked right over it? Then then that is incorrect. Yeah, then it's mitt and then Chris gets it.
We can't give it to.
Did somebody else? I swear I thought you said mitt. I talked right over it. Then you said masks. Then the hawk gets the point. Then sorry, mines Brown people wear this. Sure, I'd like squatters use them?
Did you ring in? I did not ring in.
I'm protesting that because you said it was right and I have at it, but I you said it was correct.
Jumped the second point? Do squatters use catcher's myths?
Squatties squatty, that's.
Not actual squatters. That was the play on words, is that they are squatter. That's why the cardboard magic guess is so hilarious. Is that's the other kind of squatters.
The game.
So catcher's mitt, not mask Martie Mitt was the right answer.
Yeah, the whole town. Yeah, thanks Martin.
Chris has two. Here's number three of c M.

Man, that passed into double coverage in Seattle to the three yard line, where he put it at the sideline, the only place he could have put it was unbelievable, unreal.
When he stepped out of pressure, that was absolutely incredible, and then.
He got clobber man.
We talked to Brad Burry, the center, right after the game, and he said he didn't even see the touchdown because he was avoiding stepping on his quarterback who was laying on the ground.
Wow. So when you two took the elevator in Seattle with Sam Donald, did you say things for the memories as well or you know, you know, Kelsey just said, hey, we flew here to.

He was nice, he said, be loud for us. That was about it. But I couldn't just sit there like to see the game. I'm so excited.
I thought was interesting.
His security guard started asking us questions, and I think that's probably a strategy to get you not to talk because you're busy answering questions.
I thought it was brilliant because it seems nice. But then you get out and you're like, oh, we've been had. Yeah that was a distraction. Absolutely.
So are you guys at our hotel?
