Geek works. And it's been wild so far. Yesterday a
huge upset Eddie.

given Sunday. It really is, you know, I think that
applies to no one saw.

A coming guy. Uh yeah, one of the pea ones
who's played before, and it was uh, you know, absolute goat. Yes,
maybe they would say he was cocky going into it. Well, yeah,
he thought, but like the second question, or was it
the first question that I asked him? I remember second?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
He took a little long on the first. I mean,
the name is Yoda.

mys in your bucket and.

Sometimes you'll hit a question or a category and you
just don't know it because you've got to be well versed.
This isn't just I'm gonna ask you just Star Wars
questions or whatever. It's it's all over the comic con universe.

And if you've ever been to comic Con you know
how it is. I mean, they cover everything in pop
culture and so. But but you know specifically, you know
with the comic world and Star Wars and you know
those kind of things. So those are the types of
questions you need to be knowledgeable about because it's not
like I'm just, you know, gonna give you whatever you want.
