(22:41):

is recklessly By the way, ifPower Trip Initials is listening, what is
the record for most combined wrong guessesin one game? This has got to
be close, all right, No, Zach for number eleven, that's a
(23:02):
big advantage for John Krasinski. Here'snumber two of number eleven. Blue number

I think they would have all yeah, isn't It is a lot easier
when the pressure is over for sure? All right, it comes down to
this. We got a lot ofdrama, Gavin. You need this one
to get into next year's turnaments boy. Zach needs this for the win.
John needs this for the win.A raw guest out of Carly probably breaks
(24:17):
a record. A lot going onin number twelve. Great guesses Zach and
John going for the win. Here'snumber twelve of CT. Clue number one
considered extremely rare. Clue number twoknown to share Clue number three, often
(24:53):
connected to extremely complex procedures. Cluenumber four, sometimes separated Clue number five
(25:21):
are connected the word final chef yepcan join twins nice to next year's tournament
(25:41):
at the buzzerra good. It's allthe food questions and get that awesome alright
story It comes down to this.Zac was in a tiebreak. You're in
last year's tournament, all right,it's only a two another three, so
get okay, hold on, allright, Gavin and Carly sit this one
(26:03):
out. We're down to Johnny Krazinskyand Zachary Halverson. The winner goes on
to the semifinals. The loser getsridiculed. Everybody ready, by the way,
John, I assume you understand therules. There's only three clues in
a tiebreaker, a little more tothe point, and if you get it
wrong, of course your opponent canhear the rest of the clues before they
are forced to answer. Here wego, Let's go for the win.
(26:25):
Krasinski and Halverson c t Clue numberone provide an alternate explanation. Clue number
two commonly features little or no evidence. Zach Zach for the win. Spiracy
(26:47):
theory semi finals. Johnny k takea point five. Absolutely mad about that.
But with this from carlyon, canI ask, is this the first
week where if everybody has gotten apoint so far this year? This this
(27:08):
year were the best, definitely thebest. We lost Rosen and collectively the
number one seed data, collectively thenumber one data is inarguable. Yeah.
So yeah, I cannot wait forpower Tup Initials to do the research to
see how close you came to therecord. We had Pa once said don
cheatle fifteen times in the game.Kevin gorg Once guests Super America about thirty
(27:30):
times in a game. So thosetwo alone probably guessed that answer three or
four times for different items. Wow, but my guesses were made sense.
The only one you completely gambled onwas crunch time right. The rest of
them all fits. Yeah, itwas good sense. It was a good
performance. Parish. You were doinga lot of high five in over there?
(27:51):
Would you have crushed Marni? Marniewas on fire, I had.
I was stuck with cakes Hopper inmy head. That's why I was celebrating
back there. And then thank Godcan Joined Twins came to me and I
was just so you would have gotto come, my boy, Gavin.
I was just come on, let'sgo. I had like I had two
or three baby, But can Itell you the one Parish guest wrong?
And have you reread just the firstlike three or four clues to chicken tenders.
(28:15):
Okay, let's go back. Ohno, I'll do the clues.
You tell me what he thought itwas. Okay. Clue one was considered
long and narrow. Oh, Idon't know. I don't know what.
Clue two was commonly golden or brownish, and number three intended to be hot
or warm. He said cameltoe.He wasn't going from the joke. He
(28:45):
was dead serious. He was atnumber four is one of the words of
an animal. Yeah, he rangin number five. This is number five
is often considered kid friendly. Hewas trying to come through the glass,
was right? Oh boy man,all right, So Zachary on to the
(29:08):
semi final. Zach, it's nowthat you won. Well, Corey,
through my papers everywhere you can tweetat me, at Zach Halverson and take
at ABC will help through the endof Sunday. And one lucky winner when
when they one hundred dollars Visa givecard, guys don't care, don't care.
(29:30):
Good one. That was good,Zacho that two straight weeks tat them
last week on number twelve got intonext year's tournament in Gavin out of Nowhere
with conjoined twins. Let's go.I think was it you that said like
you were stray? I heard somebodysay that it was me. Yeah,
I'm like you were close, youjust couldn't think of the word. And
then you get right, yeah,like you know those you know the famous
conjoint twins who live here who stayedjoined. Yeah, no, yeah,
(29:52):
okay, they store Rochester. Yeah, so they eat at spoon, Oh
do they? And so they're like, as he's going through the clue is
their names are in my head side, I'm remembering their names and I'm like,
well, wait a minute, what'sthe word? And then it Slumdog
Millionaire monument. That's fantastic. Thatwas all right? Got through, Carly.
How are you doing? You feelall right? I'm a little sad,
(30:12):
yeah, but I'll get over here. Did I put too much pressure
on you? Making you the seventhseed? You wish you would have been
twenty third or something instead, becausethat's might might be where you end up
next year? Wow, next year, maybe that can be a ram Bret.
(30:37):
I thought Gavin was about to pleaseincluded. I just I was willing
to put money on you earlier thisweek, and I couldn't get them to
bite on it. They were goingto bet on Zach. I was gonna
bet on you. I would havelost money. So I'm glad they checked
out. I'm glad nobody thought ofJohn and I. Yeah. Yeah,
that's great. Yeah, thanks andnot win, John, that's a big
number that almost never happens to getfive and loses, super rare. Yeah,
(31:00):
but you did it. Iratulations forbeing really really good but also losing.
They can't take that away from me. That's great, that's it.
You should be proud of yourself.I think we learned with with Oak last
week though. I think now youhave nine career points, you're like top
twenty all time with this performance.How about that rockets you up the list.
We'll take it. Yeah. Didyou watch the Vikings game last night?
(31:21):
Most of it? What did youthink? Uh? Yeah, I
thought Jalen reagor Ty Chandler ran theball pretty well. Jalen Hall was a
little shaky, but you expect thatout a young quarterback. So overall,
it's preseason. How much time doyou spend on there? Uh? Once
a week now starting and then atevery home game I'll be at, so
including the preseason. So we'll getgoing on that. Alec Lewis is our
(31:41):
main Vikings guy. He does anawesome job at the Athletic and I did
great job. I just helped himout from time to time and chime in
when I can. Let's let's behonest, John, You're mostly there for
me to ask you if you haveany wolve skiing, and I'm normally in
front of you because I'm gonna getthere first, and then the XT on
like Friday night, uh, twelvethirty tomorrow, and you just go yep,
(32:05):
yep, I'll see then. Yeah, that's how you're the best.
This is my favorite thing to dooff here, and I think people mostly
have figured this out on the airwhenever he did earlier today, whenever sauces
something something something about the NFL Hallof Fame. But that's what my sources
say. It's like, okay,that's John Randall. Everything else is like
you know what I'm hearing, I'mhearing blank, And it's like, so
Krasinski texted you. Everybody knows yoursource is John, but he always like,
(32:30):

this. We got a lot ofdrama, Gavin. You need this one
to get into next year's turnaments boy. Zach needs this for the win.

(24:17):
a record. A lot going onin number twelve. Great guesses Zach and

considered extremely rare. Clue number twoknown to share Clue number three, often

(25:21):
are connected the word final chef yepcan join twins nice to next year's tournament
(25:41):
at the buzzerra good. It's allthe food questions and get that awesome alright
story It comes down to this.Zac was in a tiebreak. You're in
last year's tournament, all right,it's only a two another three, so
get okay, hold on, allright, Gavin and Carly sit this one
(26:03):
out. We're down to Johnny Krazinskyand Zachary Halverson. The winner goes on
to the semifinals. The loser getsridiculed. Everybody ready, by the way,
John, I assume you understand therules. There's only three clues in
a tiebreaker, a little more tothe point, and if you get it
wrong, of course your opponent canhear the rest of the clues before they
are forced to answer. Here wego, Let's go for the win.
(26:25):
Krasinski and Halverson c t Clue numberone provide an alternate explanation. Clue number
two commonly features little or no evidence. Zach Zach for the win. Spiracy
(26:47):
theory semi finals. Johnny k takea point five. Absolutely mad about that.
But with this from carlyon, canI ask, is this the first
week where if everybody has gotten apoint so far this year? This this
(27:08):
year were the best, definitely thebest. We lost Rosen and collectively the
number one seed data, collectively thenumber one data is inarguable. Yeah.
So yeah, I cannot wait forpower Tup Initials to do the research to
see how close you came to therecord. We had Pa once said don
cheatle fifteen times in the game.Kevin gorg Once guests Super America about thirty
(27:30):
times in a game. So thosetwo alone probably guessed that answer three or
four times for different items. Wow, but my guesses were made sense.
The only one you completely gambled onwas crunch time right. The rest of
them all fits. Yeah, itwas good sense. It was a good
performance. Parish. You were doinga lot of high five in over there?
(27:51):
Would you have crushed Marni? Marniewas on fire, I had.
I was stuck with cakes Hopper inmy head. That's why I was celebrating
back there. And then thank Godcan Joined Twins came to me and I
was just so you would have gotto come, my boy, Gavin.
I was just come on, let'sgo. I had like I had two
or three baby, But can Itell you the one Parish guest wrong?
And have you reread just the firstlike three or four clues to chicken tenders.
(28:15):
Okay, let's go back. Ohno, I'll do the clues.
You tell me what he thought itwas. Okay. Clue one was considered
long and narrow. Oh, Idon't know. I don't know what.
Clue two was commonly golden or brownish, and number three intended to be hot
or warm. He said cameltoe.He wasn't going from the joke. He
(28:45):
was dead serious. He was atnumber four is one of the words of
an animal. Yeah, he rangin number five. This is number five
is often considered kid friendly. Hewas trying to come through the glass,
was right? Oh boy man,all right, So Zachary on to the
(29:08):
semi final. Zach, it's nowthat you won. Well, Corey,
through my papers everywhere you can tweetat me, at Zach Halverson and take
at ABC will help through the endof Sunday. And one lucky winner when
when they one hundred dollars Visa givecard, guys don't care, don't care.
(29:30):
Good one. That was good,Zacho that two straight weeks tat them
last week on number twelve got intonext year's tournament in Gavin out of Nowhere
with conjoined twins. Let's go.I think was it you that said like
you were stray? I heard somebodysay that it was me. Yeah,
I'm like you were close, youjust couldn't think of the word. And
then you get right, yeah,like you know those you know the famous
conjoint twins who live here who stayedjoined. Yeah, no, yeah,
(29:52):
okay, they store Rochester. Yeah, so they eat at spoon, Oh
do they? And so they're like, as he's going through the clue is
their names are in my head side, I'm remembering their names and I'm like,
well, wait a minute, what'sthe word? And then it Slumdog
Millionaire monument. That's fantastic. Thatwas all right? Got through, Carly.
How are you doing? You feelall right? I'm a little sad,
(30:12):
yeah, but I'll get over here. Did I put too much pressure
on you? Making you the seventhseed? You wish you would have been
twenty third or something instead, becausethat's might might be where you end up
next year? Wow, next year, maybe that can be a ram Bret.
(30:37):
I thought Gavin was about to pleaseincluded. I just I was willing
to put money on you earlier thisweek, and I couldn't get them to
bite on it. They were goingto bet on Zach. I was gonna
bet on you. I would havelost money. So I'm glad they checked
out. I'm glad nobody thought ofJohn and I. Yeah. Yeah,
that's great. Yeah, thanks andnot win, John, that's a big
number that almost never happens to getfive and loses, super rare. Yeah,
(31:00):
but you did it. Iratulations forbeing really really good but also losing.
They can't take that away from me. That's great, that's it.
You should be proud of yourself.I think we learned with with Oak last
week though. I think now youhave nine career points, you're like top
twenty all time with this performance.How about that rockets you up the list.
We'll take it. Yeah. Didyou watch the Vikings game last night?
(31:21):
Most of it? What did youthink? Uh? Yeah, I
thought Jalen reagor Ty Chandler ran theball pretty well. Jalen Hall was a
little shaky, but you expect thatout a young quarterback. So overall,
it's preseason. How much time doyou spend on there? Uh? Once
a week now starting and then atevery home game I'll be at, so
including the preseason. So we'll getgoing on that. Alec Lewis is our
(31:41):
main Vikings guy. He does anawesome job at the Athletic and I did
great job. I just helped himout from time to time and chime in
when I can. Let's let's behonest, John, You're mostly there for
me to ask you if you haveany wolve skiing, and I'm normally in
front of you because I'm gonna getthere first, and then the XT on
like Friday night, uh, twelvethirty tomorrow, and you just go yep,
(32:05):
yep, I'll see then. Yeah, that's how you're the best.
This is my favorite thing to dooff here, and I think people mostly
have figured this out on the airwhenever he did earlier today, whenever sauces
something something something about the NFL Hallof Fame. But that's what my sources
say. It's like, okay,that's John Randall. Everything else is like
you know what I'm hearing, I'mhearing blank, And it's like, so
Krasinski texted you. Everybody knows yoursource is John, but he always like,
(32:30):
that's what I'm hearing. Yeah,as long as he doesn't say it,
I'll loud. Just don't help mepublicly. That's fine, Yeah,
I got you sausage. I haven'tyet. Yeah. I honestly think your
rumors or you're reporting to him.I think you could feed him fake stuff
all day. He would be justas excited. I just just he just
likes hearing the gossip. I liketo mix it up a little bit and
(32:50):
get him excited. Everyone's in awhile and he doesn't answer, I text
him, Well, then I'll goto the other guy. Yeah. Yeah,
