you know, on this show, we get right into it. And tonight
we're gonna play a game called in the year
2000. I don't know if anybody remembers that a little bit, but
I'm gonna read you a historical event. You have to tell
me, did it happen in this century? The two thousands
or last century? The 19 hundreds. And they're gonna be very close
to that time period. So it's a 50 50 guest. We're going to go in

Over to wise. A jury sentences Timothy

Oklahoma sitting city bombing. Did that happen
this century or last century?
Oh, man. This is a trick question. Last century. You didn't
fall for my trick. Last century is correct.
1997. Back to
Lisa. I'm a little concerned that the questions are getting a little bit more grim
as we're going on here. So wait for question nine.
Okay. Okay. Your concerns will be put to
ease, Lisa. The Winter Olympics are held in
Nagano, Japan. Yeah.

Correct. All right, so why. This could be the
toughest one. Boris Yeltsin resigns as

Wikipedia is launched. You love the
design. All that text was. It launched this
series, say 19 hundreds.
Was Wikipedia launched in the 19 hundreds? Is.
You know what, that's a good point, though. Is 2000 considered the 19
hundreds or 2000 because, you know, two
thousands. It's the year 2000. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Yeah, well, we partied like it was 1999. We can't do that more
than once. You don't know my

April 2002. Let's go to that scoreboard. That was
a tough round. We have everybody a three way tie.
That means we're not even going to change the round. Lisa's going to
get to pick the category. Let's go to the hot
seats. Lisa, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me, Jeff. This is really
scary and exciting. Awesome. We'll wait till you get to the hot
seat, but tell us where you're calling in from. I am
in Minnesota there. I rode my boat in here. You know, I
was out and about. So. Yeah, Midwest. Anything happening
in Minnesota this summer? It's just thick, just
humid. Got the skeeters. You know, all that.

show notes. And the book is available everywhere you buy your books. Oh, heck
yeah. Very good. Very good. So,
Lisa, I have one last question for you. Are
you ready for the hot
seat? I was born ready,
Jeff. All right, well, in this round, you're going to get your
choice of category. And when you pick a category, it's going to eliminate it for
the other two players. You can choose from music,
entertainment, or products. Products,
please. All right, we'll give you the products questions, and then you'll get a
name five bonus question where I'll give you a category and you have to
tell me five things that fit into that category. Like if I
said, name five spices in your spice cabinet. Salt, pepper,
cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Could be things. But
tonight we're going to do vacation themed name five. So I'll give you something
related to vacation, and you have 10 seconds. To put five
things into that category, Lisa, your first
products question. What did the
company Leah and parens begin producing

And sandbars at the buzzer.
You got all five. And you froze and you still got all five.
Very well played. You ran the second round there.
Let's go to Todd. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having
me. Great to have you here. Tell us about, I bet you you probably
live close to Minnesota, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, yeah.

very, very thick. We have mosquitoes about the size of vultures this year. Very,
very big. So it's been doing a public service getting you out of the
basement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're keeping me away from, you
know, a direct assault in the, in the yard out front here.
So I appreciate that. Very nice. Anything you'd like to plug,
promote, talk about? I have. Absolutely. Well, wait a second. Lisa has a

10 seconds on the clock. Name
five items you should always pack for a vacation
and go. Socks, underwear,
toothbrush, toothpaste,
deodorant. I
don't know. You got five. I always let the buzzer, the
timer run the whole way to a buzzes. Let's go to that
scoreboard. It is a very close game, only two points
from first to third place. Lisa's in the lead with nine. Todd was seven
and wise with eight. But we're going to the final round,
and there's 30 points available in this final
round. The
nerves, I want them in this
round. I'm going to read you a series of very vague clues. We have
ten questions, and they all start with, who am I? What am I? Where
am I? And I'll read you these clues, and the clues will help
you get to the answer. Now, I've asked you each to bring your own buzzers,
and we're going to demonstrate those in a second. But if you buzz in on
the first clue and you get it right, that's worth three points. If
you buzz in on the second clue, that's two points, and the last clue is
worth one point. If you're right, we'll add that to your
totals, but if you're wrong, we will subtract that
from your total. So you want to be fast, but you want to make sure
you're right.
There's one. Oh. There's no limit to the amount of times you can
buzz in, so you can buzz in multiple times. And a lot of times, the
fans at home love a negative score, so don't be afraid
to. If you're going to sink the ship, to really go down in a ball
of glory. I've asked each of my guests to bring their
own buzzers. Let's test them so we can hear, so the folks at home can
hear how they sound. Lisa, let's hear your buzzer.
I'm kind of shy.
That was aggressive. Lisa with the bell and Todd.
Todd, the aflac and wise.
You hear that? Myself. What
happened to slap in your face? How about you?
Slap in the face? Is that. No.
You just say wise? Yeah, I glued the slap of the
face. Entertainment value. All right. Slap in the face, the bell,
and the affleck. For those of you at home in the, in
the prelim, when he slapped his face, he lost three pair of glasses,
so we're not having him do that anymore. I was gonna say slap
in the face. The bell and the affleck was the sub, the working title
to the chronicles of Narnia. Oh, nice.
