[Fred's Appliance Announcer]

Black Keys tickets.

[Hank]

That's big.

[Fred's Appliance Announcer]

I know.

[Host]

Shout out your name when you think you know the answer. Can I get you guys, really? I mean, Josh, Hank, I need you.

[Josh]

You turn the music down, Ron.

[Spinquest Announcer]

Yeah, no, that would also help you listen to music.

[Host]

Josh. Hank. Question number one. What planet do we live on?

[Josh]

No, thanks.

[Host]

Give me the good questions, Josh.

[Josh]

Earth.

[Host]

Earth is correct. Can I get the question?

[Josh]

Confidence. Mo.

[Host]

Not this.

[Josh]

That was a great question. Mo.

[Host]

Don't do this to me. It was a pretty good start. Josh, on the board. You were right there, Hank. Right behind him.

[Josh]

Oh,

[Host]

it's not too late to give me the real questions. It's not too late.

[Josh]

All right.

[Host]

I'm going with what she gave me before we knew who was playing. Question number two. The letter M. How many M's? Oh, God. God. Trigger happy.

[Hank]

It's okay.

[Host]

Go for it, Hank.

[Josh]

1.

[Host]

It'd be amazing if there was one.

[Hank]

That would have been amazing.

[Host]

No. How many M's are in the word summer?

[Josh]

Two.

[Host]

Yes.

[Josh]

Golly. Question again, Hank.

[Host]

Not the one to get in early.

[Hank]

Hank.

[Host]

I don't know why it was. How many M's are in the word?

[Bluff]

Some.

[Spinquest Player]

He would have nailed it.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Host]

Some, right? He was kind of close.

[Josh]

Mark.

[Host]

How many M's are in Mark?

[Spinquest Player]

1.

[Host]

Oh, Hank. We gotta say goodbye. I didn't think this was gonna happen.

[Josh]

No worries, man. I'll be back in 30 days.

[iHeartRadio Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Host]

I woke up today saying Hank's just gonna destroy anybody that comes in here. But then I wasn't thinking about the Goat. Still sitting around out there. Hasn't been in the hall yet this year.
