Episode description

Every Friday around 8:15​-8:20 a.m. on KFAN 100.3 the Power Trip Morning show plays the Initials Game. The game involves 12 items people, place, things, phrases or anything as long as they share the same initials. All 12 items share the same initials. The contestants do not know the initials until they are revealed shortly before the game starts. Each item has 6 clues. As soon as the contestants know who or what the host is describing, they yell out their name. Their name is their buzzer. If the contestant gets it right, they get a point. If they get it wrong they are out for just that item. The item does have to be pronounced correctly. It is best out of 12 with tiebreakers if needed. Tiebreaker items have 3 clues.

Speaker 1

Right, a couple of home runs between Marni and Cide. There, Wow, internal bleeding. I has sauces. Yeah, the three Haw comparish are mathematically eliminated. Marny, you need the last guys. I need you guys to try.

Clue number five, These might touch bread. Final clue Clue number six.

Speaker 1

You can order one of these at Red Robin and it is plant based. Jesus all right, Zachary, instant replay again. I think it was probably Mark one of these at Red Robin, and it is plant based.

Speaker 2

That sounds like parish, parish, impossible burger something, Thank you buddy.

Speaker 1

All right, that mathematically elimined. It's Marnie. But keep playing. So sigh and sauce with four a piece, perishing Marny with one.

Speaker 2

Zero. But there's a two to go. Here we go, of ib.

Speaker 1

Clue number one can be extremely attractive.

Speaker 9

Clue number two is subjective. Clue number three.

Speaker 2

Yep, interviewing that one. We're working for you. We're working first. I just got doubt because I didn't want to give that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that was the one Chris had nothing to lose, why not go for it? Thank you Christy all for your side on the line here. So you get this, you win, You get this, you win. If Marnie Hawk or Parish gets this, then we have a heads up tie breaker. In overtime. Let's get Si going for the wind, Sauce going for the win. Here's the final item, Number twelve of I be. Clue number one is commonly small. Clue number two.

Speaker 2

This is most often intended for just one person.

Speaker 9

Clue number three all for the win, Ice Bath.
