C
Foreign.
B
The rules are simple. Round robin is a pretty straightforward question and answer game about video games. I'll give you a question. You have your buzzers that you'll use to buzz in and answer said question. You can buzz in once per round if you give the correct answer. That is 10 points. Contestants, are you ready?
E
Yeah.
B
Round one. Team Fortress 2 is the famous multiplayer shooter developed by Valve. The game has five core modes. Attack and defend. Control points, King of the Hill, Payload and which other core mode? Mike?
D
Team Deathmatch.
B
Team Deathmatch is incorrect. Greg.
E
Deathmatch.
B
Deathmatch is incorrect. Tim.
C
Capture the flag.
B
Capture the flag is the correct answer. That is 10 more points for Tim Geddes as we move on to round number two. Speaking of 2000s class based shooters, Star Wars Battlefront was beloved on PS2 for its competitive gameplay within the Star wars universe. What was the name of the turn based mode allowing players? Greg.
E
Galactic Frontier.
B
That is incorrect. Tim.
C
Galactic Conquest.
B
Galactic Conquest. No, no no no no.
D
That should Dan again. There will be a replay on the twitch chat that saw my buzzer go in and they didn't. I'll remember that, Roger.
B
You might remember that. Mike will remember that.
E
See a friendship torn asunder like this.
D
Unbelievable.
E
But it's always Roger in big Tim's pocket.
B
Round number three. We got a messy mashup for you. I'm going to read to you a clue which would be the description of a game. The answer will be the name of two games mashed up together. For example, I might say in this game sneak through top down corridors while defending the Earth from alien invasion. The answer will be. Metal Gears of War contestants, are you ready?
E
Yeah.
B
Gunslinging in a galaxy far far away has never been in an open world or. Sorry, let me say this again. Gunslinging in a galaxy far far away has never been in a world as open as this one. No matter the galaxy though the rules of gravity. Tim.
C
Star Wars Outlaw Breakers.
F
Damn.
B
That is the correct I was waiting for. Outlast.
E
Did you even so did you hear the gravity and just knew it a lot. I already had it even before then. But that law. That was impressive.
B
Holy. I wasn't expecting any of y' all to remember Lawbreakers. That's crazy. The full clue for those who want to know. Right? I would have said no matter the galaxy though the rules of gravity are meant to be broken. Step into this first person 5e5 arena shoot shooter from the mind of an epic cover shooter leaning towards Gears. That was 10 more points for Tim, who's on fire this episode so far. Round four. The Tony Hawk franchise is known for its secret characters in Tony Hawk's underground. Unlockable characters include Gene Simmons of Kiss, a swamp creature called Thud, and which Marvel, Tim?
C
Iron Man.
B
Iron man is the correct answer. You know, I try to build a variety of questions in here. I didn't think Tim would get the fucking team fortress question.
D
Yeah.
B
Round number five. PlayStation game Sly 3 opens in medias res one year after the events of Sly 2 Band of Thieves. What is the definition of the classical literary term in media's resume?
C
Tim? In the middle of the action.
B
Can you explain that further? In the middle of the action is what you said. What do you mean?
E
The room where it happens.
B
This is one of those questions where I need more context.
C
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how much more I'm going to be able
B
to give you there if I'm being
C
real, so we can move on.
E
Mike's ready to go. Roger, how about you stay out of his way? Roger.
D
Get out of his pocket, Roger.
B
I'm gonna not give it to you. All right, reset the buzzers. Mike or Greg Again, the question is PlayStation game slide 3 opens in media res one year after the events of Sly 2 Band of Thieves. What is the definition of the classical story in progress?
D
You know. Thank you. They know it.
B
I'm not gonna give it to you because Barrett is shaking his head.
D
That's in there.
B
Greg, you have the option to buzz in here. What is the definition Media Res. In media res, Sly 3 opens in that one year after the events of Sly 2 Band of Thieves. What is the definition of the classical literary term in medias res?
E
Craig, in the middle of a scene that's already happening.
B
I can't give that to you either. The answer is it opens in the chronological middle of the plot. You guys are all. Yeah, you guys were all around it. Nobody actually hit the nail on the head there. The literal translation is into the middle of things. That's what the translation of in media res is, so nobody gets points. Round number six is a special round called which is the Greatest Hit. Of course, Greatest Hits is the famous branding used for discounted reprints of PlayStation video games. I have a quick fire round of trivia for you. Each round I'm going to list three games. One of these games is a PlayStation greatest hit. Your job is to buzz in and tell me which of these games is the Greatest hit for 10 points? Contestants, are you ready?
E
Yeah.
B
First one. Is it A, Metal Gear Solid, B, Arc the Lad or C Chrono Trigger? Greg? C. C Chrono Trigger is incorrect. Mike.
D
B.
B
B Arc the Lad is incorrect. Tim.
C
Metal your solid Metal.
B
You're solid is the correct answer. That is 10 points for Tim. Round number two, you have a.
E
Just to be clear. Yeah, so I think where I got hung up, you said maybe you didn't. I probably put that on my own thing. I was thinking PS2 games. My apologies. No, I.
B
These are all games from different generations. So the first one I read there were all PS1 games. Moving on to.
C
Not true.
B
Which one of these? Oh, you're talking about.
C
Chrono Chronic Tricker is not a PS1 game.
B
But it's on the PS1.
E
No, it's not.
C
It's in a game called Final Fantasy Anthology.
B
You know what? Fair. Sure. These next ones are PS2 games. So is it A Manhunt, B God Hand or C Eye Toy Chat? Mike. A A manhunt is the correct answer. Getting points on the board there for team purple. Round three. This is the PSP round. Yeah. Is it a GeForce? B me and my Katamari Or C
D
Mike, I'm just trying to beat him.
E
Do it.
D
You know, let's go with C. C
B
Pet upon is the correct answer.
C
Fucking G Force.
E
I know. Yeah, guinea pig.
B
Get it right.
E
That's why they were G Force.
C
Oh my God.
B
I didn't think about that either. Holy shit.
E
Google it. I think I reviewed it.
D
Awesome.
B
Round four is the PS3 round. Is it a Crisis 3? B Uncharted 3? Drake's Deception. That is incorrect. Or C Heavy Rain? Mike. C C Heavy Rain is the correct answer. That is 10 points for Mike. And our final round of this special round Here is the PS4 era. Is it? Is the greatest hit a Injustice 2, b Final Fantasy 15 or c Concrete Genie? Mike. A A Injustice 2 is the correct answer. Bringing us to the end of our special round and catching mic up pretty well.
C
There was Greatest hits a thing on PS4.
F
Yeah.
B
I did not know that. I mean, not as many games were greatest hits as I looked through the Wikipedia of it. But what does the box look like?
C
That's crazy.
B
Good question. I don't think I've seen a greatest hits box on PS4 either. Round number seven. Speaking of greatest hits, Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in March of 1997. The original requirement for being a Greatest hits title was selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market for at least. How long, Mike?
D
Three years.
B
Three years is incorrect. Tim.
C
One year.
B
One year is the correct answer. That's 10 points for Tim. Round number eight. This is a round of bullet points. I'm gonna read to you details about a game one bullet point at a time. It is your job to buzz in. And guess what this game is. You can buzz in once per bullet point. Contestants, are you ready?
E
Yeah.
B
First bullet point. According to Wikipedia, this game was met with acclaim, with many applauding the addictive nature, gameplay structure, innovation, and improvements over its predecessor. Mike.

E
The Witcher 3.
B
The Witcher 3 is incorrect. Mike.
D
Monster Hunter.
B
Monster Hunter is incorrect. Looks like Tim isn't buzzing in as we move on to round number three. In this game, the player can only move left or right. In this game, the player can only move left. Right, I guess. Left and right, I should say. Mike.
D
Streets of Rage.
B
Streets of Rage is incorrect. If nobody else is going to buzz, Tim.
C
Temple Run.
B

E
Correct. I'm sorry. Little Big Planet 2.
B
Little Big Planet 2 is incorrect. Bullet point number four. This game has made cameo appearances in films including the Karate Kid Gives, Mike, Mortal Kombat. That is incorrect. The Karate Kid, the Avengers, and Pixels. Tim Galaga. Yep, Galaga is the correct answer. That is.
C
Man's playing Galaga.
B
That man right there is playing Galaga. As said by the one and only Tony Stark.
E
What was the first bullet point?
B
According to Wikipedia, the game was met with acclaim, with many applauding the addictive nature, gameplay structure, innovation, and improvements over its predecessor.
E
What was its predecessor?
B
Oh, a Galaxian, I think. Yeah, it was the sequel to Namco's Galaxian.
E
Got it.
B
Also, I like the Witcher 3. Guess because I think you're thinking of Soul Calibur. One of them.
E
Yeah, you know me and fighting games. I'm just throwing. I was April 20, 2015 or 2015, I was like, I gotta throw something out there.
B
Fair enough. Barrett, what's the current score right now?
F
The current score in last place, just. I don't know where he's at today.
D
He's just.
F
He's thinking.
B
What were you thinking?
E
Where have I been this season, Barrett?
D
Everybody.
E
It's my retirement.
B
Where has he been this season?
E
I'm not coming back.
F
He's just in his mind thinking he's at a Primus concert in in second place. He had a slow start, but he's catching back up. Can he bring it home today? We'll have to wait and see. It is Mike Snowbike. Mike Howard for team purple with 40 points and in the lead currently, unsurprisingly, the master of video game trivia, some would call him. It is Tim Geddes from team orange with 80 points. But it's still anybody's game and we
B
have so much game left. But before we get there, I want to tell you about patreon.com kindafunny and and YouTube.com kinda funny games where you can go and get the Kinda Funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free. And speaking of ads, let us tell you about our sponsors.

Geoblesser.
F
Legally Distinct Geo Blesser.
B
It's not related to GeoGuessr. That was a slip of the tongue, of course. Geoblesser. The rules are simple. Geoblesser today is Name that racing game. I have two rounds of screenshots from various racing games. Your job is to write down on your whiteboard the name of each of these games. If you can identify the franchise correctly, that will get you 10 points. If you can correctly identify which game in the franchise it is, that is another 10 points. So just write down the name of the game, and we'll figure out points from there. There are four images per round. You have a minute to jot down your answers on your boards. Contestants, are you ready?
C
Yes.
B
Barrett, bring up round one. We got four games here being shown to the contestants. Again, I'm looking for the titles of each of these four games. If you're in the franchise, you get 10 points. If you get the exact franchise entry, the exact name of the game, that is another 10 points for you. Our contestants here are locked in.
E
How much time do we have?
B
You have about 30 seconds. Thank you, Barrett. In my mental Math, you have 15 seconds. I don't know if that's factual.
F
I'll. I'll keep you updated.
B
Thank you, Barrett.
F
15 seconds.
B
Ah, it's close. I was trying to count my head.
F
You're no Michael.
B
Sarah. I'll get there. Does Michael Cera do that?
F
Okay, his character in Arrested Development does.
B
I gotta rewatch that show.
F
4, 3, 2, 1.
B
Let's start off with Tim Geddes.
C
We got Mario Kart, Double Dash, Top Gear, Rally Cruisin Blast, and Mod Nation Racers.
B
All right, Mike, what you got for me?
D
I have Mario kart, double dash, RC Mania, RC Mania 2, cruisin cruisin world modnation racers, modernation racers, Vita Greg, Mario Kart Double Dash.
E
I put excited bike because I did not know what NES game was. But, you know, I look like that. I put need for Speed because I didn't know that. I put Mod Nation Racers for the last one.
B
Interesting. Interesting. The correct answers. Number one, you all got Mario Kart Double Dash. The second game, RC Pro Am. Mike knocked on the door there. You're only gonna get one or 10 points for that because you didn't get the exact entry, but you did get the franchise. Mike.
D
I got the franchise. No, he did not.
C
Not even at all.
B
Wait, I thought season competitive is RC
E
Mania this season be competitive.
B
What would you call the franchise of RC Pro Am?
C
I Mania's never been used in any of these games.
D
Throw the challenge flag.
B
God.
E
My Nation Racers. What a great.
D
Wait, hold on.
B
I'm looking up. Oh, so I see what you're saying. RC Mania is not even a real video game. I'm still gonna give you. I'm gonna give you that. You were in the rc. Barry doesn't like it. You push.
F
I don't like it because RC Mania is like the state, like Pro Am.
B
Is RC Mania like a different franchise of video game or.
F
RC Mania is not a thing for video games,
B
but I feel like you would say it's the RC he's still with.
D
I like that.
B
Bless RC Francis.
E
Let him live.
B
Bless you.
D
Do what you want.
E
Yeah, it's not Geo Bar. You know what I mean? Nobody's over here. Where's.
B
Did Roger leave my other off?
C
He's pissed off.
B
Roger, where'd you go?
D
We need our other posed.
C
Ready?
B
I'm gonna give it to you. You got the RC. I'm gonna give you the 10 points. I'm gonna give it to you.
F
Can I knock 10 points off of Greg just for being a dick?
B
No, no, he's.
E
I mean, I'm third place forever Bear. It doesn't matter. Life's knocked me off. Don't worry about it.
B
Our number three here is Cruisin Blast. Of course, Tim got the exact thing. Mike got the franchise because you said cruisin, but you didn't say Blast. And then sadly, Greg wasn't able to get there. And then our number four game here was Mod Nation Racers, which you all got. So with that.
E
Well, Mike got it wrong, though. He said Vita, remember?
D
Well, I thought we were doing. I thought we were doing franchise and title.
E
It sounds like you're getting dialed in,
C
but that's not the veto one.
D
No, no. I thought we were doing doubles. Like, it was like a name. You get I Franchise. And then the name of the game.
B
Roger or not Roger.
D
I was doing Mod Nation Racers Franchise. Mod Nation Racers. Mod Nation Racers Vita, the name of
C
the game, but it's not.
D
It's Modation Racers, though.
E
So you only get half the points.
D
Yeah. So I get half the points.
B
Half, yes.
F
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
B
Okay.
D
I got the franchise.
B
Yeah. Yeah, I. Well, I guess I'll give you half the points. That wasn't what my thinking was. I was just like, oh, you got Mod Nature Racers. You didn't even have to put the Vita, but. Oh, I mean, you just explained yourself out. So, yeah, you're going to get half the doubles.
D
Yeah, yeah, I'm.
F
I'm following the rules here.
B
Yeah. I mean, you could. You could just write the name, full name of the game and I can judge from there, but because it went above and beyond, you're losing points.
E
I'm sorry.
B
So with that, that is 60 points for Tim, 5 or 50 points for Mike, and then 40 points for Greg there. Coming out of that round, we do have a round to Barrett. Bring it up again. I'm asking, what is that racing game, you know, Round one, we had some variety there in terms of the type of racing game we brought to the table. Round two, not much different. Again, I'm looking for the name of the entry. If you get the franchise correct, that's 10 points. If you get the exact title correct, the exact franchise entry, 30 seconds, that is 10 more points. I love people in chat like, these are different games. Yes, they are. They're all different games. Or are they? Who knows?
F
15 seconds.
E
Oh, these all count as being franchise or do I need that?
F
2, 1.
E
Come on, help me out.
B
They're all the same. Well, no, you need that.
E
I do need that, yeah.
B
All right, let's start off with Greg.
E
All right, so for number one, I put Forza Horizon. And for number two, I put Forza Horizon. For three, I put Forza Horizon. And for four, I put Gran Turismo.
D
Nice job. I like that.
B
Mike, what you got for me?
D
Yes, thank you. Bless. I'd like to kick it to the Ubisoft hit title. The crew. And the Crew 2. Forza, Forza Horizon 5, spy hunter. Spy hunting, then Gran Turismo GT6.
B
All right, and Tim, what you got for me?
C
I got Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport 3, Forza Horizon 4, and Gran Turismo 7.
B
Okay, okay. Okay.
D
He might get us. These might all be Forzas.
B
Can you wait? Can you read yours real quick again, tim?
C
Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport 3. Forza Horizon 4, Gran Turismo 7.
B
Cool. Cool. This will be a fun one because there will be some disputes coming up that we'll talk about the exact answers. Here are. The first one is the crew. Motor. Motor Fest.
C
Good job.
E
He said the crew too.
D
Can we double check? Is that the second one, though?
B
It's not the second one. I know that for a fact.
E
So you specifically told me. He didn't need to be this specific. He still did the specific.
B
Well, yeah, I do want the entry. So, yeah, you get 10 points there, Mike, but you don't get the 20. Number two, Forza, horizon three. Now for this, I am considering Horizon different from motorsport.
D
Yep.
B
And so with that, I believe Greg gets the 10 points there and Mike gets the 10 points there for Forza Horizon 3. Fun fact, if you squint your eyes at second picture, the license plate does say Horizon 3 on it.
D
Oh, you got a really squint.
B
Yeah, you got to really squint here. Number three, need for Speed Rivals, which nobody even got need for Speed with. And then our number four game there is Grand Turismo 7, which I believe Tim got. That's 20 points there for Tim. And then Mike and Greg both got 10 points for Gran Turismo. So coming out of round two, the points for round two, Tim got 20 points overall. Mike got 1530 points. Greg got 20 points.
D
Hey, let's get real right now, okay? You and I, look me in the
C
eyes, here we go.
D
Let's turn this around. Okay, over here. Let's beat this guy.
E
Don't you. You have more stars than him.
D
Let's turn this up. Yeah, but I want to get you on the board.
F
I believe they're.
D
Let's turn this up right now.
B
Yeah. Team Purple and Team Blue, I think are.
D
Let's turn this guy up. We're coming for you.
B
Before we move on, what's the score
F
recap Right now, still in last place. Just doing whatever he can to make sure Team Orange loses. It doesn't matter if he wins or not. It is Miller for team blue with 60 points. In second place, he's hot on the tails of one Tim Geddes. Will Tim Geddes leave the door open for one snow bike? Mike Howard for Team Purple with 120 points and still in the lead. Can he hold the number one spot for the rest of the game? We'll have to wait and see. It is Tim Geddes for team Orange with 160 points. But it's still anybody's game.
B
Let's play Mad categories. Had a pause there because somebody in Chat said that Tim said GT6, but I don't think that's true.
D
I did that.
B
You said GT6? Yeah, definitely.
D
Thank you.
E
But good job, Chat. Keep trying to get him. We'll make our own truth here.
B
This season has made me nervous about getting things wrong now. And so now I'm like looking at Chat to have to be my backup.
D
Don't worry. Roger got things wrong this episode.
E
Oh my God.
D
He owes me 10 points.
B
Listen, that's on Roger. Roger, I needed you, Rock. You needed a third referee. You got to stay here. I'm joking. You. Okay, Mad categories. The rules are simple. I'm going to list a handful of games. It is your job to write down which category you think the game belongs in. We're going to go one game at a time through a list of 10. You get 20 points for each correct placement.
E
So the one where you just go. We just go straight down?
B
Yes, we go straight down. Of course. 20 points for each round here. Big opportunity here to turn things around for each of you. Now today's MAD categories are Fighting game or Beat em up.
E
Love it.
B
Fighting game or Beat them up. If you want a shorthand, you can write fight or beat. If you keep it.
E
What about an F or a B?
B
I'll take an F or a B. Just make sure I can tell the difference.
E
That's fair, Mike.
B
Now let's get into some definitions because of course historically some people might not know the difference between a fighting game and a beat em up. According to Wikipedia, a beat em up. A video game genre featuring hand to hand combat against a large number of opponents. Traditional beat em ups take place in scrolling two dimensional levels while a number of modern fighting. Modern beat em up games, I should say, sorry, feature more open three dimensional environments with yet larger numbers of enemies. So examples Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Sifu. Now fighting game. A genre which involves combat between characters often but not necessarily limited to one on one battles. The mechanics of combat in fighting games often features blocking, grappling, counterattacking and the ability to chain attacks together into combos. Examples being Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat. Any questions?
C
I love that Sifu was a beat him up. It's good.
B
Oh yeah, very accurate. Listen, I had to make it. I. I have an agenda with this one. This goes back years to game awards contestants. Are you Ready?
E
Yeah.
B
Round one. Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves. Fatal Fury, City of the Wolves. You know, you said we go all the way down now I think about it because I haven't done this game in a while. I think we reveal every round.
E
All right.
B
Is that right, Barrett? Roger. Roger leave again. I don't know. Oh, Roger left again. We'll reveal it every round.
E
It's one of those things where, you know, oftentimes the murderer returns the scene of the crime.
F
Here's the thing. This is a game inspired by mobile gamer and I think that would. You would list all of the questions first and then we'd loop back around to answers.
B
I think that'll. I think that'll keep the scoring more interesting. Towards the end of the game.
D
I'll counter that. I like to cheat. Okay, I'm gonna say it right now. I like.
B
Really?
D
And Tim is very free of like he likes to do this. You know what I mean? I'm gonna. I'm gonna hold. I'm gonna hold myself accountable. I think you got to keep me in check. Bless. Maybe we do.
E
He's already crossed it out and put a different one in.
D
So like I'm just letting you know Tim's real friendly. Literally.
B
At least you're honest.
D
No, I'm not doing this.
B
At least you're honest.
D
Being honest.
B
I'm pretty sure when we previously done the thing, we've done it round by round.
E
So I think honestly, if I'm correct, what we did with mobile game or bullshit, right, Would we would lock in if we thought it was mobile or bullshit and then move on to the next question before revealing.
B
Correct.
E
Correct. So why not just do it? All right. We all write down our answers, then we go. I think it's a beat em up. I think it's funny. And then we go on to the next one.
B
Yeah, let's do that. And then.
E
Not that way. Mike can't keep fucking cheating chat.
D
I'm close. My eyes too.
B
Jesus.
E
No, you're gonna hear it. It's gonna be.
B
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we've done it differently before, but let's do it this time around because I just want to feel it out, gets things out. Yeah, I'll give you a tip of the hat. I'll give Greg a tip of the hat for that one.
E
Kdg, pay attention.
B
So again, round one, there was Fatal Theory, City of the Wolves.
E
I said beat him up.
D
I said fighting game.
B
Wait, so are we saying it now? Right, that's what I'm saying.

F
Okay.
B

C

B
All right.
E
Two Fs and a B.
B
Two Fs and a B. I've been
E
there on a Friday night.
B

F

Meaning Roger, if you can give me two star trophies because this episode ends in the rare tie. Baron, if you can bring up the score.
F
Rare tie.

The rare.
F
No tiebreaker.
B
No tiebreaker. Two stars being dealt out this episode.

Ready, get ready. Because the final score breakdown, you changed it.
C
I just want that clip.

C
He stole my answer, so I will
D
accept no from this.
F
The final scores was Greg with 200 points in last place. This is a high scoring game with these last few rounds here and tied. Even though we all know who should have really won this week. It was Snowbike. Mike Howard for Team Purple and Tim Gettys for Team Orange with 260 points each earning them a star.
B
Yeah. So here we are with the star tracker for you. A bad day for team Blue. Team Blue came into this episode with one star. Team Purple and Orange both came into this episode with three stars each. Because of a tie. This episode there is no tiebreaker, meaning both teams go up to four stars. A competitive season for team Purple Orange. But of course a lot of season left for Team Blue to make the comeback.
E
You know what blessing there is a lot of season left in game showdown season four. And Tim, you appear to be nigh unstoppable winning a star each and every time you come to game showdown. So I'm here to offer you a deal with the devil, sir.
D
Deal with the devil.
E
You clearly can't lose. You get stars all the time right now. One time offer before we sign off. Trade me Team Orange for Team Blue. I take your stars. You take. You'll make them all back. You'll get to be team.
D
I hate this.
E
You'll get switchable. I go over there, I keep the four.
D
You're at one deal.
E
Three episodes. You're right back to four tied with Mike. I got nothing. I got nothing in the tank.
C
That's brilliant.
E
I'm washed up.
D
A mole.
B
My dog. I'll allow it. And if you want to do that, Tim, it's up to you.
C
I want Team Blue.
E
Get up and switch. Show the team. Show the Star Tracker. Show the star Tracker.
C
I want Team Blue.
E
Go to your seat then. Is it the man or the chair?
D
Is it the man or the chair? Wow.
E
Wow.
D
No way.
E
Just like that. Poppy's back in.
D
It feels better.
C
It feels better.
B

E
The devil demo.
B
So, Tim, I wasn't expecting this. Tim, the new captain of Team Blue is now sitting at one star for the season. Team Purple of course sitting at four stars. The co captains, Mike and Andy and Greg Miller, the new captain of Team Orange. Is sitting tied at first place with four stars.
C
Want it clear?
B
Yeah.
C
Misunderstood the deal.
B
Oh, what do you mean he misunderstood the deal?
C
I thought it was just for one. I thought it was the one star. He was going to give it you. Zach. No. Cool. Fine.
D
I still take it, though. I'm here, everybody, and I'm going to show up and I'm going to compete, and I will win the 4P, Baby T Blue, we're on our way.
