While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. It desperately wants to automate this work, and that's why they need Serval. You just tell Servil what you want to automate in plain English and it's built. No drag and drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Cervel, it becomes the AI engine powering the entire company. This is a new way to run it. We guarantee you'll automate 50% of all tickets. And we'll prove it to you in a free four week pilot. Go to cervel.com tickets that's S-E-R-V-A-L.com tickets.

[Birch Show Host]

Here.

[Spinquest Legal Disclaimer / Jake Stauch]

Birch Show.

[Birch Show Host]

So the super bowl is this weekend, and we have to say hello again to Katherine. Hi, Katherine.

[Katherine]

Hi, how are you? Hello.

[Birch Show Host]

Are you excited for the super bowl this weekend?

[Katherine]

Very excited.

[Birch Show Host]

Okay. And we have to say hello to Story.

[Javi]

Are you gonna talk to her now?

[Katherine]

Hello.

[Story]

Hi, how are you? Hi.

[Katherine]

I'm doing well. How are y'?

[Spinquest Announcer]

All?

[Story]

Good.

[Javi]

You've been brushing up on your football knowledge.

[Katherine]

I have.

[Birch Show Host]

How about you, Kathryn? Have you been.

[Katherine]

I've been trying your American football knowledge a little bit. I'm not quite sure how much you can learn in a couple days.

[Story]

Oh, that's so funny.

[Katherine]

I've learned a little bit.

[Story]

I think if she said, oh, I gotta look up football and shit. And she knows all about soccer.

[Katherine]

Oh,

[Wendy]

American football.

[Birch Show Host]

So here's what's up for grabs. Cause you guys are both single ladies.

[Katherine]

Yeah.

[Birch Show Host]

And what's up for grabs is some space at the bar at Dantana's. Two primetime seats. Right in like, testosterone heaven.

[Story]

It's almost like a movie. Like if you see a bar full of guys, you know, and they're all crowded around this bar, and you are literally in the front center. I mean, it's almost like this halo of men around you. So it's like it is the prime

[Birch Show Host]

seating, as it should be for two ladies of your caliber.

[Story]

That's right.

[Birch Show Host]

So Wendy is a hardcore football fan.

[Wendy]

I am.

[Birch Show Host]

And Wendy wrote a bunch of trivia questions, and I think what we'll do is just go back and forth.

[Wendy]

It's all basic football knowledge. It's a basic question because the idea

[Story]

was that we wanted women who didn't know much about football so they could carry on the conversation with the guys so they could let the guys teach them a little bit about the super bowl as they're watching. However, they needed to carry on conversations. So that's why we had them look up a little bit about football so that they could at least, you know, ask the questions.

[Birch Show Host]

So what we'll do is we'll just start. We'll go back and forth, and the first person to get three answers correct is the winner. Okay, we'll start with story, because she's American and we won the war and. And we'll. The revolutionary war.

[Story]

We are no longer your colonies.

[Spinquest Announcer]

What if I see.

[Katherine]

I know my God.

[Birch Show Host]

What if my land, too if I see taxation without representation? Yeah, it's exist today. All right.

[Katherine]

Stars and stripes.

[Birch Show Host]

So we'll let story the pilgrim, go first, and we'll go back and forth. And if God bless America, if somebody doesn't get the question right, then the other person has a chance to answer it. Javi, are you unhung over enough to keep score?

[Javi]

I'll try.

[Birch Show Host]

All right.

[Katherine]

I don't know how to answer that.

[Birch Show Host]

It's story and Catherine.

[Story]

That means she's hungover.

[Birch Show Host]

If you can't story, the first question is for you. And by the way, if we get to the end of the list of questions, we don't have a winner. We'll have to do a coin toss.

[Wendy]

Well, yeah, I did write 19 questions.

[Birch Show Host]

Or if. Or if we get to the point where we're bored with it. All right.

[Story]

Coin toss with an American coin. Not a shilling.

[Wendy]

Yeah, well, the first question does have to do with the coin toss. Melissa.

[Birch Show Host]

All right, Story, this is the first question.

[Katherine]

Go.

[Wendy]

Which team calls the coin toss? Visiting team or home team?

[Katherine]

Visiting team.

[Wendy]

That is correct.

[Javi]

Story 1 second question for Katherine.

[Wendy]

All right, Katherine, how many minutes are in a quarter?

[Katherine]

Fifteen.

[Wendy]

Correct.

[Birch Show Host]

Story. Question.

[Story]

God save the queen. I'll stop. I'm sorry.

[Wendy]

How many points for a safety?

[Katherine]

Oh, let's see. 460. That would be. All right, I'm gonna just guess.

[Wendy]

No Googling.

[Katherine]

Three.

[Wendy]

That is wrong. It's two.

[Birch Show Host]

Oh, Catherine, you have a chance to answer that now. You don't.

[Katherine]

I did actually know the answer to that.

[Wendy]

I just said the answer.

[Birch Show Host]

I know. Don't do that anymore.

[Wendy]

Okay, that was my bad.

[Birch Show Host]

Catherine, question four. Go.

[Wendy]

Name one position in football besides the quarterback.

[Katherine]

A fullback.

[Wendy]

Correct.

[Birch Show Host]

Is that what David Beckham plays?

[Katherine]

No, he doesn't know story.

[Wendy]

She's like, what is a sack?

[Katherine]

It's a plan. I mean, like the one of the plays that the. That the coach makes out for the team. Like they get together and huddle and they discuss one of the plays.

[Wendy]

That is not correct.

[Katherine]

No. Okay.

[Birch Show Host]

Catherine, what is a sack?

[Katherine]

Oh, sack. I'm sorry, I thought you said stack. I'm sorry. Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry.

[Birch Show Host]

Do you know what a sack is and not a stack, story?

[Katherine]

Yes, I know what a stack is.

[Wendy]

Should we stack?

[Birch Show Host]

Okay, okay.

[Katherine]

A sack is when the other team takes down the quarterback.

[Wendy]

That is correct.

[Javi]

There you go.

[Birch Show Host]

Okay, Catherine, next question for you.

[Story]

Yeah, we're eighth grade because we were laughing about sack.

[Wendy]

Catherine, how many downs until the other team gets the ball?

[Katherine]

Four.

[Birch Show Host]

Correct, Story. God, you guys are good.

[Wendy]

How many players allowed on one side of the football?

[Katherine]

I got three right.

[Javi]

Oh, yeah.

[Birch Show Host]

Katherine just got three right first.

[Story]

Three to three. Jen is sorry. Congratulations.

[Birch Show Host]

Hey, nicely done, Jen. Way to keep score. Yeah.

[Javi]

Catherine wins three to two.

[Wendy]

Oh, yay.

[Story]

See if we make a mistake all morning. I'm just gonna thank Fergie.

[Javi]

Thank you, Fergie. Thanks, Will. I am.

[Katherine]

Congratulations.

[Birch Show Host]

Hey, Catherine, the British did win this time, but it will not happen again. Enjoy. Dantannis, who are you gonna take with you?

[Katherine]

My roommate, Lisa.

[Birch Show Host]

Okay. And you guys are both single?

[Katherine]

Yes, we are.

[Birch Show Host]

All right, you've got two primetime seats. And we'll put some information up online about Dantana's. They're having a big event on Sunday and I mean, I think they're selling like these seats at the bar because they're.

[Javi]

Yeah, they are selling them like you have to buy a ticket to sit at the bar. That's how coveted these spots are that you guys are sitting in. You're going to be right in front of the big TVs. You, you can order food and drinks and just have a great time there. And Dantana's is always stacked with good looking guys.

[Story]

She's stacked.

[Javi]

Stacked, not sacked.

[Birch Show Host]

Hey, Katherine, hold on. We'll make sure we have all your information so we can pass that on to the Dantanas, people.

[Katherine]

Okay, thank you very much.

[Birch Show Host]

You're welcome. And enjoy the super bowl on Sunday. And please call us on Monday and let us know how you fared.

[Katherine]

I will do. Yeah.
