Questions range from Bo Nix’s college teams (she swings and misses: “Florida State... Jacksonville?”), Broncos history, Super Bowls, and key players (“Sutton!” comes too late).
Many wrong answers, plenty of laughs at Abby’s expense, and Bobby concludes: “You’re a casual that cares, but you don’t know that much ball...” (Bobby, 37:35)
Eddie, Ray, and the crew egg on the roast, but it ends with fun more than shame.

9. Lunchbox Judges Jane Seymour’s Four Marriages — Is Four Too Many?
