And now it's time for the fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Listeners, to your corners. Say hi to William again. William, good morning.

[Contestant William or Jeff]

Good morning, brother Rob.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Lou's okay. I know you were worried. Lou's fine after what you did to him. William, can you. Can you string two games together? Victories? We're gonna give it everything I got, okay?

It's a lot of pressure.

That's all I can ask. That's all I can ask. Now, this guy has been in the hall of fame one time. Jeff, is it Jeff?

[Contestant William or Jeff]

Yes, sir, brother Roger. Jeff.

My name is Jeff. We haven't seen my name yet. Where have you been?

[Contestant William or Jeff]

I've been calling every day this year. Just hadn't been able to get through.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

When did you get in the hall of fame? It had to be a long time ago.

[Contestant William or Jeff]

So it was, I think, around August, September of last year.

That was your first time in the hall?

[Contestant William or Jeff]

First time.

That's the one. All right. There's a couple of Jeffs that get that. Jeff and William, shout out your name when you think you know the answer. Here's the question. Mo, what do you got for a price?

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

Oh, look at this. Rad Ryan show T shirt. We have.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Oh, it's so nice.

[Spinquest Disclaimer]

Good luck.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Sweet. Shout out your name when you think you know the answer, William. Like you did it yesterday. Okay, bro?

[Contestant William or Jeff]

Yes, sir.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

All right, here we go. I'm listening for what you guys are listening for? William and Jeff. I'm not listening. I'm answering.

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

Willie.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Will. I'm asking, asking questions.

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

Okay, we're ready.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Question number one. What band with a royal name sings the famous stadium chant song? We will rock you, William. William Queen. Queen is the correct answer. One time hall of famer Jeff. We will. We will rock you.

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

That made my tummy hurt a little bit because it took really a long time.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

You were moving slower than radio head.

[Contestant William or Jeff]

All of you. Next.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Next question. Okay.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

I will accept slay. Yes. If you really wanted to, you know, impress us. What kind of sleigh? A one horse open sleigh. Yeah, yeah, but it is a sleigh. It is a sleigh.

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

Sleigh all day.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Jeff Slade on that question. You guys are both slow as molasses. One more. Okay. You're both very slow when mad and angry. What color does the Hulk turn, William? Jeff?

[Contestant William or Jeff]

Green.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

Hey, he was fast on that one. Sometimes I gotta like, you know. Yeah, I gotta get the guys going a little bit. So that's what I did today. William, Jeff, got you on that last one.

[Contestant William or Jeff]

All right.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

You were, you were there, you were there.

[Co-host or Assistant (possibly Mo)]

Thanks for being here.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

I'm never gonna hear back from Lou now. Sure. All right, William. One fun. Yes, sir.

[Contestant William or Jeff]

Good one, Jeff.

[Host (possibly Rob or Roger)]

All right, William, have a great day. I'm glad you finally got through to play One time Hall of famer Jeff is back at the driver's seat. You want to play tomorrow?
