You Betcha Radio — "Best Of You Betcha Radio: Games Edition" (Dec 23, 2025)

Episode Overview

This episode of You Betcha Radio is a rollicking, nostalgia-packed trip through the “Games Edition” best-of moments. Myles “the You Betcha Guy” and the gang—Ryan, Tyler, and Jerrod—celebrate their annual traditions by diving into a series of competitive, goofy, and quintessentially Midwestern games.

Key Segments and Highlights

1. Annual You Betcha Spelling Bee ([00:00]–[39:00]; [142:26]–[168:12])

Setup and Introduction

• The crew sets the scene for their beloved annual spelling bee, reflecting on past competitions and the (lack of) preparation:
  "Welcome to the second annual You Betcha Spelling Bee." — Myles [26:07]
• Running gags about the legendary "yellow jacket" awarded to the champion, inspired by the Masters golf tournament:
  "I want you to measure me with my other jacket on, so every year it gets slightly bigger..." — Myles [60:26]

The Competition

• Contestants are self-deprecating about their spelling prowess: "I want to do this segment mostly because I want to see how it goes." — Myles [00:08] "We didn't do a spelling bee.” — Tyler [00:30]
• The bee features hilariously challenging words (“charcuterie”, “paraphernalia”, “Worcestershire”), common traps (“misspell”, “liaison”), and classic rule confusion (the infamous "i before e except after c").
• Contestants request word origins, sentences, and debate the rules constantly for comedic effect:
  "Is it hanker, chief, or handkerchief?” — Myles [02:20]
• Showboating and playful trash talk erupt after every round: "I'd like to thank my parents... all my spelling teachers... the road wasn't always easy." — Myles [07:37]

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• Instant replay debates and “challenge the ruling” shenanigans, including pronunciation disputes.
• Ongoing complaints about word difficulty and fairness.
• Iconic, very-You Betcha celebration speeches and sore loser declarations: "If you're a good speller, that's more, you have to help your kids... spelling words correctly is a detriment to success." — Myles [155:24]; [155:28]
• Boasting about spelling “charcuterie” twice in different years as a personal legacy.

Timestamps for Key Rounds

• [26:07] – Formal kickoff of the second annual spelling bee; rules get (somewhat) established.
• [33:05] – Infamous “Worcestershire” round.
• [116:45] – "Championship" round and victory speeches.
• [123:28; 142:26+] – Reflections, rule changes for next year, yellow jacket discourse.

---

2. Guess the Sound Game ([11:00]–[25:50])

• Jared finally gets this long-anticipated segment greenlit; contestants compete to identify classic audio clips (e.g. Windows XP shutdown, Family Feud buzzers, YouTube/Internet memes, retro commercials).
• They improv new rules mid-game, with “steals for double” and “lose a point for wrong steal.”
• Quotable banter about nostalgia and ‘90s/2000s sounds: "If you click into these, will it show us what it is?" — Myles [12:38] "That is Microsoft shutting down." — Ryan [13:37]
• Memorable “oh wow” sound stumps the entire gang—it turns out to be from Chris Rock after the Will Smith slap.
• Myles’ “comeback kid” monologue after winning a round demonstrates classic Midwest sports bravado.

---

3. Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Trivia ([39:36]–[57:00])

• The crew rotates through classic grade-school trivia—math, geography, grammar, U.S. history—with Midwest takes and self-deprecating honesty about forgotten facts: "Do you need to be smarter than the fifth grader? I think is the question." — Myles [41:38]
• Playful trash talk, “I’m shaking off the brain fog!” excuses, and ongoing arguments over which facts “actually matter” as an adult.
• Runaway favorites:
  "Billy made a rude noise in class. How many adjectives?"
  “What continent was ancient Egypt on?”
  "What do you call a scientist who studies rocks?"
• Myles claims hydrogen is “everywhere—everyone knows that!” after nailing an answer, despite showing doubt seconds before.

---

4. State Nickname Showdown ([84:38]–[96:46])

• Game: Identify states by official nicknames (e.g., “Wolverine State,” “Beehive State,” “Show Me State”).
• Predictably: Myles sweeps the board, crediting his knowledge to rap lyrics, while Tyler gets tripped up by “Nutmeg State” and “Treasure State.”
• Notable moment: “You just got absolutely waxed in that,” says Myles after back-to-back wrong answers from the crew.
• Ongoing gripes about question fairness, luck, and home-state advantages.

---

5. Miscellaneous Games, Reflections, and Traditions ([97:01]–[168:12])

• The group revisits their ever-shifting spelling bee format, arguing for triple elimination, hat draws for word lists, and “who wants to be a millionaire” lifelines.
• Nostalgia and planning for next year abound: "Next year I want you to say: this is the year of the bee." — Myles [163:13] "We’ll have a home run derby of spelling words!" — Myles [164:10]
• The “Commissioner’s Address” and plans for future yellow jackets, embroidered names, and champion’s dinners.
• Open call for more balancing between entertainment value (“easy words first—like ‘car’!”) and actual competition.

---

Memorable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• "I mean, you got misspell wrong. Are you serious?" — Myles, after spelling disasters [72:32]
• "This podcast has never... Do we have any more words written down?" — Deadpan after a run of failed spellings [35:13]
• "Do you remember the Iridocitus kid?" — On viral spelling bee meltdowns [01:30]
• "You're defending champ." "Not anymore." — Ceremony for the passing of the yellow jacket [33:59]
• "It's just the draw. It's all about the draw." — Lamenting luck in the spelling bee [162:10]
• "We should have more traditions... talk about the godfather of the spelling bee." — Planning for future legacy [120:16]
• "No, we don't want hard to spell words, Ryan." — The crowd rebels against difficult words [98:08]
• "I think spelling words correctly is actually a detriment to success. You're wasting time on menial things." — Myles, justifying poor performance [155:38]

---

Episode Structure and Flow

• The show is structured around competitive “man games,” but each segment is fluid, with rules debated (and changed) in real time.
• Laughter, quick sarcasm, and Midwest in-jokes are ever-present; the language and energy are irreverent, cozy, and deeply relatable for anyone from the region.
• The episode jumps between segments with seamless trash talk and good-natured ribbing, often stopping to reflect on their “best-of” bits and to plan even bigger, better games for the future.

---

Final Thoughts

The annual spelling bee remains the highlight, but every game is a testament to why You Betcha Radio is “the most Midwest podcast on the planet.”

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So, Jared, without further ado, what is this segment that you are so madly in love with?

[B]

Guess the sound. Okay, so I'll go one by one. You have to guess the sound.

[C]

So is. Is this a competition? We have to buzz in.

[B]

Let's do that. Yeah, I like that.

[A]

Nut button.

[C]

Okay. Okay, so we'll. Okay, we'll put nut button right there.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So we maybe go like that.

Yeah, because this is.

[D]

I. I think that.

[C]

Yeah, this isn't even attached.

[A]

Even. This. This is going somewhere.

[C]

Yes, it is. We should ratchet strap. We should throw this whole thing.

[B]

But it would just say not, not, not, not put a red strap right over it.

[A]

Oh, it's.

[C]

Yeah, it's out now.

[A]

It's.

[C]

We can't. We can't trust it.

[B]

Look at you.

[A]

Oh, my God. What happened back here?

[C]

That's just how it always is.

[A]

We got some repairs to do around studios. I got to pick up some wood glue. Absolute rookie. Using super glue on a piece of wood. Anyways, best sounds. So it's. It's nothing else other than guess the sound. That's it. It's just. We're going to Listen to it.

[C]

And it could be people place thing.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Could cba. Could be anything.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Could be everything.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

CBA could be anyone.

[B]

And bonus points if you get, like, specifically right, too.

[A]

Okay, so more specific will be better.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And if you buzz in and don't get it right, then the other person can steal for double. Because then we could just be hammering the nut button and then. Yeah, yeah, we gotta have some sort.

[A]

Of steel for double.

[C]

I like that feel for double.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

If you click into these, will it show us what it is?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay. I just said that'd be.

[B]

It'd be a blank screen.

[A]

But I mean, the title of it.

[C]

No, it just says sound. One, sound two, sound.

[B]

Yeah, I checked it. All the sounds are.

[D]

All right. He's.

[A]

He's.

[C]

He's scheming this.

[A]

Sorry. This is your game. You have to. You can't be touching the table for the nut button. You have to be touching this.

[B]

Touch yourself.

[A]

Don't touch yourself. Touch the chair.

[C]

What if I can. I like the ola. Like flag football or, uh, playing playground football in elementary school. And you. I told you guys about, like, locking arms so you get. You could get into the other team's huddle if as long as you had one guy behind line of scrimmage, you were good. So I'll link. I'll link hands. All right.

[A]

All right, here we go.

[B]

Here's version Ryan.

[A]

Got it.

[C]

That is Microsoft shutting down.

[A]

Can I.

[B]

Go ahead, Miles.

[A]

Is that Microsoft Windows xp?

[B]

Yes. You guys are both right.

[A]

So what?

[B]

It's signing out of Windows XP is the correct answer.

[C]

Totally means shutting down.

[B]

Signing out.

[C]

Well, then where do you go when you sign out?

[A]

But he didn't say xp, right?

[B]

You said.

[C]

Yeah, because he said Windows xp. I said Windows shutting down.

[B]

It wasn't shutting down, though technically it could.

[A]

But technically, that also just brought me back.

[C]

Yeah, it did play.

[B]

One more time.

[A]

Windows XP shutting down. Logging out.

[C]

Windows XP logging out. Final answer.

[B]

That's a tough one.

[A]

Hey, don't tell us what it is. It just say yes or no, and then we just have to keep guessing until we get it.

[C]

Okay. Yeah, I like that. I like that.

[D]

So.

[A]

So that was a draw.

[B]

Yeah, they got struck. I'll go 1 1.

[A]

Okay, so it's 1 1.

[C]

That's what I mean. That's one of the most even keel draws you can get.

[B]

Yeah, it was dead even. I'm sure people disagree with me. All right, here's the next one.

[A]

Oh, the Jeopardy. Buzz in.

[C]

No, the Family feud buzz in.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Damn it. I watch a lot of Family Feud too. Big Feud guy. I'm going to be honest. I. I hit it way too. Like literally. It wasn't even finished with the sound and nut came on.

[C]

So steal for. I stole for double.

[B]

2 1. I don't know if that's a steal. Are we doing stealing?

[C]

Three to one now we'll go two one.

[A]

No, three to one. We said. We agreed it was steal for double.

[B]

All right, three for one.

[A]

But new rule. If you steal and you get it wrong, you lose two, you lose one, you lose a point. So you could gain two points, but you also could lose a point on a steal. Okay, I like, I don't know why we implemented.

[C]

And you can choose.

[A]

I need to give myself a chance. But after the first steal, it's then. So okay, I click it, I can get one point. If I get it wrong, he can nud. Then he can get two points or a minus one. But then after that we just go back and forth and only one point is up. And if he gets it right, he just. It's a wash.

[C]

Okay, so I steal it wrong. I'm minus one. But then if I get it right after. You get it wrong.

[A]

But then there's no minus points after that. Right.

[C]

I get my point back.

[A]

You just go back to zero.

[C]

Okay. Yep.

[B]

You guys keep track.

[C]

Three, one.

[B]

Okay, you guys ready?

[A]

Is that the pornhub intro?

[B]

Yes.

[C]

That must be circa like 2009.

[A]

Don't act like you didn't know. I don't know it off the I don't note.

[C]

I don't, I don't remember that, that, that, that like bass note in the middle.

[A]

Good cover.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Right. Okay. Three to two.

[C]

Three, two.

[B]

I forget which this one is.

[A]

Check it out.

[B]

Gas prices blowing up sky high.

[C]

Ditch my used sub compact for a two wheeled ride.

[A]

Yes.

[A]

I, I, that was a big get.

[B]

That was good.

[A]

I, that was tied up, baby.

[C]

That was not it.

[A]

Not the banger though. No, that was not the. That was not the more popular free. That one was not a banger. The other free credit report.com commercial was way better.

[B]

I tried to make a little tougher on that one.

[C]

I did not have that one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So soon as I heard use sub sub compact car or something, I knew it was that. This is not a free credit report dot com, baby. That was the one.

Yep.

[B]

All right, here's the next one. I don't. Yeah, I forget all these now.

[A]

Oh wow. One more time.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[A]

I feel like he should know this more time. Oh, wow.

[C]

I have no idea.

[A]

I have no.

[C]

It's from a video game, I think.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Whose voice is that? I'll tell you one more time.

[C]

Oh, wow. Is it from the latte video?

[B]

Incorrect.

[A]

I would not like to steal.

[B]

Should I say it, Chris Rocket slapped by Will Smith.

[A]

Play it again. I thought the reason why I said he should know it, it sounded like a UFC punch of some sort or like a leg kick. Did that not sound like a leg?

[C]

No, it did. It did.

[A]

Oh, wow. I thought it was a woman.

[C]

See, I was thinking.

[A]

I thought it was a woman. I was maybe gonna guess Pat Summit.

[C]

Legend.

[A]

I thought it was maybe like the first woman dunking. It was Pat Summit. Lisa.

[C]

Leslie.

[B]

Leslie. Oh, wow.

[A]

I.

[C]

It sounded like a cornhole bag hitting a board and just.

[A]

Oh, wow, that was tough. Oh, wow. It's. Yeah, it's the crowd that throws me off because in my head, during that moment, you could hear a pin drop.

[C]

Yeah. God, that was a tough one.

[B]

So if I played a pin drop, you'd be like Chris Rockins.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay. Three, two.

[A]

No, three, three.

[C]

Did you get that?

[B]

I guess that was a wash, that one. So. Yeah, it's.

[A]

I. I purposely did steel because I didn't want to get a minus one.

[C]

You only get minus one if you steal and get it wrong.

[A]

I know. I didn't want to get it wrong.

[C]

No, so you didn't. You didn't. No one got minus one there.

[A]

I know. So it's three, three. Remember, I got free credit report.com and I was like, tied up, baby.

[C]

So that was three, two. No, no, because it was one to.

[A]

One, because then I got the one before that. We're on number. We're on number six.

[C]

What was the one before?

[A]

So we've had five. What was it? You got two points. One. Didn't get any.

[B]

For your credit report. Yeah.

[C]

Play the ones before that.

[A]

Which ones played number four.

[C]

Oh, you got the hub. You got hub.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Easy.

[C]

Yep. Three, three.

[B]

Just play that.

[A]

So I only know that because it was a tick tock trend.

[B]

I never done it so fast. All right, here's the next one.

[A]

More time. Rewinding or fast forwarding. A vh. Vhs.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah, let's go.

[C]

Dude, you didn't say that very confidently.

[A]

Or cassette tape.

[B]

Yeah, it's essentially a VCR in a. Or a VHS and a vcr. I can't tell if it's rewind or fast forwarding, but play it again.

[A]

When you're holding it. Kids today Would not know what it. They'd be like, that's a Roomba. What a bunch of idiots. 4, 3. What a comeback for the comeback kid. All I need is a chip and a chair at the table. Let's go. No hitter. Don't talk about it.

[B]

All right, here's the next one.

[A]

I know this.

[C]

So do I. Play it again.

[A]

I know this. One more time.

[B]

It's good. Radio.

[A]

Is that part of the intro of the Disney Channel? Like commercials?

[B]

Incorrect. Right? You got this. I got this. Got 15 seconds.

[C]

Just keep playing it over and over.

[B]

One more time.

[C]

Yeah, one more.

[B]

Ten seconds.

[C]

I choose not to steal.

[A]

Smart man.

[B]

It's from the space cadet pinball game on. Oh.

[A]

Oh, that's a good one. Do you know what I'm talking about? I feel like that was part of the sound of the Disney Channel.

[C]

Play it one more time.

[B]

I thought for sure. You get that.

[C]

Is this when you do it?

[B]

I thing it's like if it goes through the little.

[A]

God, now I play now. I know.

[C]

I should have known that.

[A]

All right, I can't lose the game now unless I can go and get it wrong.

[C]

Can't go into sudden death, though. You got a sudden death one.

[B]

I don't. I should have picked it. Odd number.

[C]

You gotta foresee these things, Jared.

[B]

My bad. All right, here's the last song. One more time. We have talked about this multiple times on the podcast.

[A]

I think I know. But if I go and get it wrong and then he gets it right for two points, I lose. One more time.

[B]

You guys both choose not to answer.

[A]

Play it again. I don't. I actually don't know. There's like four things that are popping into my head. Have we talked about this or do we talk about a thing it's associated with?

[B]

I'd say both.

[A]

God damn it. I don't know. I. I don't. I. I decline to answer.

[B]

Pocket vetoes.

[C]

One more time.

[B]

One more time. Five seconds. Ryan. Might as well take a shot.

[C]

I don't know. Velcro ripping off.

[B]

Incorrect. That is a one of those basketball sticky bats that you peel off.

[A]

Oh, really? At first I thought it was the beginning sound of the original Xbox starting up. And then I thought maybe it was a Mountain Dew Livewire commercial. Yeah. And then I was like, is that an energy sword from Halo 2 do?

[B]

What's nostalgia?

[C]

Play it one more time.

[A]

See the squeaking at the end?

[C]

I needed to hear some. Some more shoes squeaking in order to have a.

[B]

Sure.

Prove it. Well, I don't know. We'll see.

[B]

It's a fluid.

Fluorescent.

[C]

Oh, that's a tough one, dude.

[B]

These fluorescent light bulbs are not doing great in this room.

[A]

[D]

Language of origin.

[A]

Oh, God. There's a. There's a random U in there, isn't there? God damn it. Can I pass?

What can't this guy win? He wins hard charges and he wins spelling bees.

[D]

I should have hard charged before this.

[A]

Yeah, you should. Hey, he likes to make. He likes to break a mental sweat, too.

[D]

Down dictionary.

[C]

I couldn't be more bricked right now. It's that hard.

All right, well, for the next year.

[A]

All right, let's cut this from the podcast. We can try again next year. If I win, we can put it in.

[C]

No, teacher guy. The passing of the yellow coat.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Gold jackets.

[D]

It looks good.

[C]

Yeah. Thanks.

[A]

Weird. Same size?

[C]

Well, no, I haven't gotten sized up. Yeah. This is yours from last year.

[A]

Yeah. So you're just swimming in it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Arms at least, because I'm so.

[D]

What do they do? So hairy.

[B]

What do they do at the Masters? They give, like, the year before. It makes a meal for them, like the supper.

[C]

Yeah. So next year, I'll make the supper. I'll make that.

[A]

You get to choose the meal before the spelling.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

Can't wait for kale and chicken breast with no sauce.

[C]

Now wagu and purple thunder.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

One of the patrons suggested we do this. I forget who, but it's. Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

[A]

Okay. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Before we do this, play the theme music. Do you guys feel like you are smarter than a fifth grader?

[D]

For sure. I've watched the show. No, I do not think I'm really than a fifth grader.

[C]

How old are fifth graders? Are they like 10?

[D]

Yeah, they're. They're 11.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

10 turning 11 in fifth grade.

[A]

Really? Starting at that age for sure.

[C]

Oh, gosh.

[A]

I think fifth grade is probably start of era. Yeah, I think that I will. It's 50. 50 on. If I'm gonna know these answers to these questions.

[B]

They're kind of hard.

[C]

Fifth grade. Fifth grade questions.

[B]

Yeah. Well, I didn't get good grades in fifth grade, so I mean.

[D]

Oh, yeah, me either. That was my worst year.

[A]

I was a b student.

[D]

So fifth grade, best three years of my life.

[C]

Fifth grade was the year that I had. Fifth grade was the year I had Mr. Hawker. And that's where that. Yeah, his name. First name was not Mike, though.

[A]

He spent a whole year giggling.

[C]

Y. Fifth grade was also where I learned how to do the finger snap. Like you're packing a chew can. So we did the math the other day. I've been doing that for 20 years. Yeah, the finger. The finger snap.

[D]

Did you ever have a period where you weren't doing it?

[C]

No, because it's an. It's an addiction. Once it starts.

[D]

I mean, I did it. I kicked the addiction in like eighth grade.

[C]

You're lucky because it's really been taking my life away from me.

[D]

It's controlling you.

[B]

Yeah, you got a figure stepping out of this.

[C]

And I don't even chew long cut pouches. I don't need to pack pouches.

[D]

My name is Ryan and I'm addicted to snapping my finger now. Hi, Ryan.

[A]

Now, one thing I would like to add to this fifth grader thing is we also, after the question and the person tries to answer it, we need to determine if that's knowledge that people need to know.

[C]

Okay. Right.

[A]

So let's. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Cute. Right? But do you need to be smarter than the fifth grader? I think is the question. At the end, we'll answer. How's that sound?

[B]

Depending on if you're winning or not.

[A]

Thank you. Shut the up.

[C]

Jared is excited for this question.

[A]

I am. I. I always need to be able to move the goal post, and I.

[C]

Actually, thanks for pointing that out, Jared, because I. I didn't even realize that's what you were doing.

[A]

Damn it.

[C]

So, I mean, covers blown.

[D]

There's already asterisks on the win, and no one's won yet.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Yeah. And I want you guys to know I didn't give her a good sleep last night.

[C]

The baby was just crying and.

[A]

Yeah, my baby was kicking me in my sleep. I didn't get any coffee this morning. A coffee maker was broken.

[B]

Foggy.

[A]

Out. It was foggy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Out. My office doesn't have heat right now, so I'm chilly. Really chilled to the bone.

[D]

At the current moment, we had a meeting, and I was in my winter coat.

[A]

We literally were both wearing winter coats in my office. So if I win this, it'll be a miracle.

[C]

Honestly, pets, heads are falling off.

[A]

Like, I don't even. Right now, with the brain fog I have from getting a bad night of sleep, I feel. I don't even feel smarter than a second grader. So if I am, it's amazing, you guys. Yeah, it's more so. You guys are the idiots. That's not me.

[C]

50 yard wide goal post. Right now. Nobody's missing.

[A]

So let's. Yeah, let's play the simple game. I think Tyler should start. I don't want to start.

[D]

Yeah, hit me, Jerd.

[A]

Okay, so for those who don't know, these are questions that a normal fifth grader should be able to answer based off of what they're currently studying. Correct? Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Basically off, like, United States education.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, Tyler, good luck.

[B]

And I got 12 questions and then. Yeah, that's about it.

[C]

Four each.

[B]

Okay, Tyler, if a backyard is 50ft long and 20ft wide, how many square feet is the yard?

[D]

A thousand.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Nice job. I would have also gotten that one length time. That one. Actually, I think that that is practical use.

[C]

Agreed.

[A]

That one's a good, good question. Fifth graders should be learning that.

[D]

I was so close to saying 100.

[B]

Really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You gotta take the two zeros.

[D]

Yep. Yep.

[C]

You're a big square footage guy, too. Like, I mean, you've been dealing with square footage for, like, the last six years. Yeah.

[A]

Now it gets tough when a room's not completely rectangular or square. Yeah, you gotta start doing triangles and.

[D]

I don't know, A squared, B squared, C squared.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You give me a 45 degree angled wall that's tough, but it's actually not that tough because all you do is take half. Well, yeah, you. Well, you make a square, figure out what that square is, and then you divide it by two.

[D]

But.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

You know, a fifth grader probably wouldn't know that.

[B]

Who wants to go next?

[A]

I'll go next.

[C]

Oh, he. Now he's confident.

[A]

Yeah. No, this one's gonna be way harder.

[B]

How many average. How many adjectives are in this sentence? Billy made a rude noise in class.

[A]

Billy made a rude noise in class. 1.

[B]

Correct.

[C]

That was an easy one.

[A]

That was super easy, that one. I don't think you really need to know.

[C]

No, no, no. Good descriptor, though.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. We're two for two so far. Smart. As smart as a fifth grader.

[D]

Feeling good.

[C]

Mm. Hey, Ryan, keep it going.

[B]

Who invented the light bulb?

[C]

Te.

[B]

Thomas Edison.

[C]

Thomas Edison.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

He didn't know the name, just knew the initial.

[C]

No, I knew the name Thomas Edison. Wasn't there another guy?

[D]

This is why Tesla made it first.

[C]

Okay. Okay, that's. I was gonna go with him first, but I. I trusted my gut.

[D]

He didn't make the light bulb.

[A]

Sorry. He's not credited in the history books with inventing the light bulb, which you should be correct.

[C]

Is that something we need to know?

[A]

No, they. I mean, there are Edison bulbs and Tesla coils, so it might be. I. That one probably don't need to know. You're right.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

So far.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[C]

Look at hall of fame hitters.

[D]

He gave us the easy ones first.

[A]

Really?

[D]

I'm sure he did.

[B]

That's. That's steady. I don't know. He'll get a little harder. Tyler, who wrote the original words to the Star Spangled Banner?

[C]

Oh, that's easy.

[D]

Francis Scott Keys.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Oh, I didn't know.

[C]

Way to go, dude. I was thinking Alexander Graham Bell.

[A]

I knew it was a telephone.

[C]

No, I know. I knew it was a three name person. And. And, you know, coming off the electricity one, I wouldn't.

[D]

I almost said Betty Ross, but she made the flag for the first flag.

[C]

Yeah, I didn't know that either.

[A]

I would not have got that.

[C]

So.

[A]

No, that one you definitely don't need to know.

[C]

Francis Scott Keys.

[B]

Correct.

[C]

Alicia Keys, Great grandpa.

[D]

Yeah, it runs in the family.

[B]

Let's do this one. Let's go.

[C]

Dial in.

[B]

All right, Miles. The ancient Egyptian empire was based on what continent?

[A]

Africa. Okay.

[D]

That one was so easy, it made me nervous.

[A]

I know. That's why I was like, there has to be a trick. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

What did you say the original ancient. The ancient, yeah.

[A]

Like now I could get that one. I think is important to know because then you got to start getting into the whole pyramids. Who built them? I think the Egyptians found them. You get on Joe Rogan, Graham, whatever. YouTube. Short thing. Yeah, it's just a whole cycle.

[B]

You got three friends to participate.

[A]

Yeah, it's really is a mlm. The whole conspiracy of the Egyptian pyramids, which they're not really Egyptian pyramids.

[D]

They found their landing pads.

[A]

Yeah, that one would be important to know.

[B]

I think got air continents.

[D]

Yeah, that one's good to know. For pride. You get that wrong.

[A]

Looks bad.

[C]

Pride in conversation with your buddies too.

[D]

Like, I don't think anyone was going to judge me that much if I didn't get Francis Scott keys. But I would judged you if you didn't get correct continent.

[A]

Egypt's on important to know.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm nervous.

[B]

All right, Ryan, what do you call a scientist who studies rocks?

[D]

Oh, the look on his face. Rocks. Can I steal this?

[C]

No, it's something. It's. It's something. Gist at the end.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

You got the study of rocks. Okay, give me a second.

[A]

A rockologist.

[C]

That'd be like kid rock.

[D]

It's a rockter. A rock doctor.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I need 20 more. I need 15 seconds.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

The study of rocks.

[B]

What do you call scientists who studies rocks?

[D]

Really? Yeah, you do. Can I steal yet?

[A]

No, he's got to give an answer.

[B]

Got 10 seconds.

[C]

I know it's not correct, but. Paleontologist.

[B]

Final answer.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Incorrect.

[C]

I know it's incorrect.

[B]

What is it, Tyler?

[D]

It's a geologist.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Yes. I couldn't think of geologists, but I thought archaeologists. But I knew that that was about like bones.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Fossils.

[C]

Geologist.

[D]

Geologist.

[A]

Okay, so Ryan's dumber than a fifth grader.

[C]

Is G. Allo. Another name for a rock or what?

[B]

Geology. Right.

[D]

Geology is the like the. Yeah, it's like the act of studying it. Geography, geology, topography.

[A]

I would say you guys think you need to know that?

[D]

Not really.

[A]

I don't think you need to know that.

[B]

That's good to know. Not need to know.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, now I know.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

And the more, you know, tough to.

[A]

Get the first strike. Oh, my God.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Tyler, what is the most abundant element in the universe?

[D]

Carbon.

[B]

Final answer.

[D]

That makes me feel like it's wrong.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I have three of them in my head.

[D]

Final answer.

[B]

Incorrect.

[A]

Don't say it. Is it hydrogen?

[B]

That is correct.

[A]

Let's go.

[B]

Are we doing steels?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yep. So he's got a steel, and I got a steel.

[D]

So we have three a piece.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Y. I almost said nitrogen, but, you know, hydrogen's everywhere. Everyone knows that.

[B]

It's so abundant.

[C]

Yeah. Nitrogen peroxide. Imagine how much that is.

[A]

So basically, I am plus one, you're minus one. Me and Tyler are plus one. So we both get one wrong and still be smarter than a fifth grader.

[D]

Yes. I mean, I still. I got one. I got my one wrong, though, so I'm back to even.

[C]

I.

[A]

How do you guys feel? You need to know that one.

[B]

Yeah, it's.

[D]

I don't think you need to know it. No, I mean, when have we ever.

[A]

Yeah, unless you're in a field of science.

[D]

Unless you're a geologist.

[A]

Well, unless you're a chemist.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I would hope you would know that if you're any.

[D]

Geologists need to know where the hydrogen is so they don't blow themselves up.

[A]

True.

[B]

All right, Miles, I'm so nervous. Which. Which legendary American novel features the characters Atticus Finch and Boo Radley?

[C]

Oh, I know this.

[B]

That's why I didn't give it to you.

[A]

Tyler, this. This may look bad, but is it To Kill a Mockingbird?

[D]

Nailed it.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

Let's go. Spark noted the out of that book growing up. I can tell you that much. Also couldn't tell you how it ends either. It's sad, though, right?

[D]

It.

[C]

It's.

[D]

Yeah, it's sad. Yeah.

[C]

Well, it depends. It's like, interpret it.

[D]

There's one said there's a sad thing that happens and a happy thing.

[A]

The reason why I remember it is because. Isn't, like, a finch a type of bird?

[C]

It is. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then the name. To Kill a Mockingbird. At all. Word association. You definitely need to know that.

[B]

That's a good book.

[D]

No, you don't.

[A]

No, you don't need.

[D]

You don't know that.

[B]

You should read it, though.

[A]

It is.

[B]

It is good.

[D]

It is a good book. The sequel is terrible.

[A]

Right. Tyler or Ryan? Redemption.

[B]

How's it going, Ryan? Who painted the Mona Lisa?

[D]

Can I steal this too?

[A]

I want you to do.

[C]

No, I need help. No, no, no. I, I. I have it at the tip of my tongue.

[A]

I want to steal this one.

[D]

I think it goes clockwise.

[A]

We can go havesies.

[C]

Got it.

[A]

I.

[C]

And I'm gonna. I'm gonna say it, and then it's gonna be wrong.

[A]

Just say it.

[C]

Picasso. No.

[A]

You ready? Three, two, one. Da Vinci.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

The movie.

[C]

Leonardo.

[A]

The movie.

[C]

I haven't seen the movie.

[A]

So Tyler and I are plus 1.5.

[D]

No, I'm. I'm only plus five. I got one wrong.

[A]

Oh, yeah, you're 05 up. Ryan is negative two.

[C]

No, I'm negative one. I got one right. Yeah, so I got one right, though, didn't I? You got one right, and then minus one is zero. And then minus one is minus one.

[A]

Well, no, just getting it right keeps you at zero. We don't really have a good scoring system for this.

[B]

Miles is at 4.5. Tyler's at 3.5. Ryan's at 1.

[A]

So I do think you need to know that.

[B]

Yeah, it's like.

[D]

That's another one.

[C]

Like, for what?

[D]

Like Egypt and Africa. It's like, you should know it.

[A]

Should know that one. It.

[C]

Why, though?

[D]

You don't need to know it, but you should know it so you don't get made fun of for not knowing it.

[A]

All right, Tyler, is this is last one or.

[C]

I disagree.

[B]

I think so.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I lost count.

[D]

This is my fourth one.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

All right, Tyler, good luck.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

What is the most widely spoken dialect in the Chinese language?

[D]

Mandarin.

[B]

Correct. Where?

[C]

Why couldn't I have gotten that one?

[A]

I mean, I could not have known. Another one.

[D]

I don't know another one either.

[A]

Yeah, I know that one. You probably need to know.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

I don't think I would have known.

[C]

Ah, that one was easy.

[B]

All right, miles, you have 20 pairs of shoes, but there is only room in your closet for eight shoes. How many pairs of shoes do you have to get rid of?

[A]

Okay, so there's only room for eight shoes.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Which would be four pairs, and I have 20 pairs.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

So I need to get rid of 16. No. Yeah. 16 pairs of shoes.

[B]

Correct.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

That one is also easy.

[A]

I. Perfect. I am way smarter than a fifth grader.

[D]

That one is meant to, like, trick you to just make it 12, because you hear room for eight shoes, not room for eight pairs.

[A]

There's two shoes in a pair, Ryan.

[C]

That's correct.

[A]

Not a pear. Like P, E, A R. Just P.

[C]

A, R. There's also two partridges in a pear tree.

[D]

Not that kind of pair.

[B]

Is it two or one?

[C]

One.

[D]

It's. Yeah, it's a partridge in a pear tree.

[A]

Yeah, that was. Is it. That was also incorrect. Right. What's the question?

[B]

Is it four golden rings? What type of animal can live on both water and land?

[C]

It's just one animal.

[B]

What type of animal?

[A]

What type of animal? I know this one. I'm gonna steal.

[C]

Amphibian.

[A]

Correct. Amphibious, isn't it? Go.

[B]

Amphibians. Amphibians.

[A]

So animals. Amphibious.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Let's go.

[B]

I got it.

[A]

Let's go, Ryan.

[C]

That one is so easy.

[A]

That one you probably don't need to know, though.

[D]

No, you just know that frogs can go in the water and on the land. You don't need to know what.

[A]

The only reason why I probably pulled that out of my brain so quick is my brother got these shorts that he could wear normal and for swim trucks, and he called them amphibious water shorts. That's the only reason why I pulled that one so quickly.

[C]

I'm gonna guess it was your younger brother. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That'S it.

[C]

You should need to know that over who painted Mona Lisa?

[D]

No, no.

[A]

God, not a chance.

[C]

What do you mean?

[D]

It doesn't matter?

[C]

Mona Lisa doesn't affect our lives at all. Amphibians do art, though. Art's all subjective.

[B]

Yeah, very true.

[A]

Nice.

[B]

But art's important.

[A]

So there we go.

[D]

I want to ask Jared some. I don't think he should get out of this.

[A]

He should get four questions, but let's look at the score.

[D]

Four and a half.

[A]

Four and a half. Five and a half.

[B]

Two.

[A]

Yep. Yep.

[C]

Personally, I. We don't need to know anything from fifth grade when you're 30 years old. So there's my argument.

[B]

This is child's play.

[A]

This is. Yeah. I mean, it's amazing that I was able to do this, especially with all the things going against me with the heat in the office and the bad night of sleep and no coffee. So.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

The. No coffee's got.

[A]

I think I'm at least smarter than a 10th grader now. All right, Ryan, a little pre game. Pre B. I think I call it a pre B. We're currently in the pre B stage.

[B]

How do you spell that?

[A]

Of the spelling bee. Pre P, R, Y, dash B, E. A correct preview.

[C]

Are you giving me. That's not correct.

[A]

I have absolutely greased his palms. It is.

[C]

You've unlocked.

[A]

Yeah, I. You would be surprised at how easy it is to buy. Jared. Yeah.

[B]

I have a George Costanza wallet right now. Pills are in here.

[A]

The amount of coupons that I gave him to holiday gas stations. He's getting a buy one, get one for sandwich for life called Bogo for short. Yeah. No. So welcome to the. So welcome to the prebe. Guys, all I want to say is get out of the way. As a former champion.

[C]

Champion.

[D]

No, that's not right.

[C]

No, I. I cut it short at.

[A]

The H. You said cha. All right. And Ryan, as you are a former champion.

[D]

Sitting champion.

[A]

We need to get some. Like, maybe some yellow jackets.

[D]

I think we said that.

[C]

Yeah, we should get some yellow jackets.

[A]

Shut the up.

[D]

I'm pretty sure we did.

[A]

So you're telling me it's been 365 days, roughly, and I haven't changed one bit?

[D]

Nope.

[A]

I'm still making the same joke, and I'm still the same human being a year later. I think that the other. The yellow jacket is funny. God damn it. There's no way I said that last year.

[D]

I'm pretty positive I said we should get a trophy. And then I think Ryan said we should get a jacket like the Masters. And you're like, we could get a yellow jacket.

[A]

I swear to God, I did not know I said that. Okay, well, again, well, clearly, some jokes are just timeless. You know, sometimes you come up with an idea and you wait on it to see if it's still a good idea. Later, like, you get shit face, come up with an idea. You wait till you're sober. A year later, clearly a good idea.

[D]

So are you saying the dust is settled or the smoke?

[A]

I would say that the pollen has settled on this idea. And I think we can go ahead and Mossberg, pull the trigger on this idea of getting a yellow jacket.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And our Ryan and I would both like one for being a previous one.

[C]

Yeah, I'll get her name and then.

[A]

But what I want to do is after I win this one, I want you to measure me with my other jacket on and so that I can be wearing both jackets. And every year after that, I just will put it on and. And the jacket will progressively get slightly bigger so that it could fit over my other jackets.

[B]

I like that. We should have, like, a spelling bee dinner, like the winner of the last.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I think that we're modeling our spelling bee after the Masters and not the United States spelling Bee.

[A]

Well, I mean. I mean, dude, this spelling bee is made by a bunch of nerds. Why would we do that? Why would we do what a bunch of nerds do?

[B]

Effing nerds. Yeah.

[C]

Nerds.

[A]

Oh, God. We. Then, yeah, I think that sounds a good idea. The champions dinner. Tyler won't step foot in that building.

[D]

I was a letter away from last year. Phenomenon.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Classic.

[C]

Yeah. You handed that W to me.

[D]

I did.

[A]

I was out pretty early.

[D]

I haven't. I haven't slept since.

[A]

Yeah, I. You know what? I'm just to a point in my life where I. I think I. I think what ended up happening is after my first yellow jacket, I just got complacent yeah. You know, I started enjoying the lifestyle of being a B champion more than I loved being a champion. And so I think I'm ready this year. I think I refocused, regrouped, and I'm coming for another yellow jacket because I'll tell you what, it's chilly in here. I need to put on a jacket.

[B]

Is it a yellow jacket like a bee?

[A]

Yeah, that's the whole point.

[B]

Yeah, you just made that up.

[A]

There we go.

[B]

I just got that. Okay.

[A]

Also, I love how we've got the guy who's not that great at reading.

[B]

Spelling, not reading.

[A]

Okay, who knows me? We'll see.

[D]

Jared is an alumnus of Zooland School for kids who can't read. Good.

[B]

Yeah, Currently in it, Skip.

[A]

Okay, phonics, that's enough around in the pre B. Let's get to the real B.

[B]

So who wants to go first?

[C]

Well, I think we go. Last year we go to order of operations. So like last place goes first. No, that's an advantage for sure.

[A]

So hold on. What are the rules again, Jared?

[B]

So it's double elim.

[A]

So you can. You can mess up one word and that's it.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And we just round robin until no one's left. Correct.

[B]

That's how we've been doing it.

[A]

Okay, so I think we.

[C]

I mean, I'll go first. Okay.

[A]

I'll go first. Okay.

[B]

Ready?

[A]

No, I mean, you can't really. I just. Sorry. I'm just getting like the classic the pre B jitters right now. You know, I gotta go do like the coach on. Remember the Titans go puke before each game. Yeah, I'm gonna go puke before. But I'm gonna give it my A effort at this B.

[B]

All right, Miles. Beige.

[A]

The word is beige. I before E. Except for C. Beige. B, I, E, G, E. Incorrect. Did I miss? Is it B, E, B, E, I.

[C]

G, E. You even said I before E except. Oh yeah.

[D]

The rule is wrong.

[C]

Broken there Rules.

[A]

Okay, that's dumb. I got that right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Off of the rule. What's the point of having the rule? But did you do this on purpose, Jared?

[B]

But rules are meant to be broken though.

[C]

That is true.

[D]

That is a fine print of the rule. No one ever reads the fine print. It's like the apple agreement. It's says and not beige.

[C]

That's true. There's another one like that.

[A]

I knew that too.

[C]

Be.

[A]

When. So what is the point of the rule? What other words are actually spelled that way?

[C]

Receive, receipt, receive, no lie. R, E, C, E, I, V, E.

[A]

But it's after C. Like the rule. I before E. Except after C, it received. Yeah, it goes ei.

[C]

Yeah, I before E. Except if it's.

[A]

After C, I know there's no C in beige, and I equals ei, so it should be I before E, except after C. And in the word beige is what the whole thing should be, right? You're not wrong. What about achieve? When is the. Where's the I in achievement?

[D]

It's ie.

[C]

Well, it's C H after an H. It's che.

[A]

Where. Where is the I in Bieber?

[D]

Right after the B.

[A]

Or is it B, E, I? Or is it.

[D]

It's ie.

[A]

Oh, so in Bieber, it's spelled that way, but in beige it's not.

[C]

That's a tough one.

[B]

Again.

[A]

That is.

[C]

Who. Who is your. Who is like your 6th grade English teacher?

[A]

I don't know. I don't care.

[D]

It's the same lady that kicked him off the potter wheel.

[B]

Yeah, which is also beige.

[A]

It was a clay. It was a beige clay. You are right. I have a beige wall in my house. I'm gonna have to paint it now I'm pissed. So what other word? What other than base? You gave me the one word in the entire English dictionary. It doesn't apply. Abide by the rule.

[B]

You want another one?

[A]

No, I've. No, he's wanting that one strike.

[C]

He's wanting another word.

[B]

I don't know. I just. I just looked up a random one.

[A]

Jake. No, I just want to know. So, Jake, Google other words that are like that. Yeah, I got way is another one. W, E, I, G, H. It's whenever it comes after an A sound. Dude, slay.

[B]

What's English?

[D]

Slay is wrong. Like Santa Claus is.

[A]

Yeah, so what's the point of even having the rule?

[D]

Weird. Weird doesn't follow the rule.

[A]

What's the point?

[D]

A, neighbor.

[A]

Okay, move on. All right, I have one strike. I am all for one. I am on an absolute cold streak in the bee.

[B]

Yeah, you are, Tyler. Vignette.

[D]

Vignette. V, I, G, N, E, T, T, E. Vignette.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

I already knew that one. Why couldn't you give that one first? I knew that. Letter for letter, word for word.

[C]

I thought you were stopping at T. I knew that.

[A]

I knew vignette word for word.

[C]

I wouldn't have had a shot in hell at that word.

[A]

You wouldn't have put the G in there or what?

[C]

I. I wouldn't even. Vi is where I would have gotten.

[D]

Okay, well, Ryan is V, I, n, Y, E, T. All right, basically, all.

[B]

Right, Ryan, you ready?

[D]

Sure.

[B]

Misspell.

[A]

Oh, God.

[D]

Oh, God.

[A]

Don't get this one wrong.

[C]

Can you repeat the word misspell? Misspell. M, I, S, P, E, L, L. Misspell.

[B]

Incorrect. It's M, I, S, S. I know.

[C]

I. I know the alternative. I know that you misspelled. Misspelled.

[A]

Disaster for us. I mean, literally, if it was going. If it would have went me, you, Tyler, he wouldn't even have to get to his last word by just getting one right. He could win this thing that was.

[C]

I. I mean, back and forth in my head.

[A]

You're discombobulated. D, I, S, C, Discombobulated.

[C]

Oh, that's a tough one. That's a tough one.

[A]

All right, here we go. I think we go. Ryan again.

[D]

Snake draft.

[B]

We do Snake drafts. Yeah.

[C]

Wait, what? No, those are not the rules of the beat.

[A]

I think you go again.

[C]

No, we are going. No, we are going. We go around. That's how we did it last year, right?

[A]

When you're the first ever B. Champion Yellow Jacket recipient, you get to make the rules. That's actually in the rule book, Jared.

[C]

We. We go in a circle. How do we do it?

[A]

Last year, Snake. S, N, A K, E, a K, a R, Y, A N. Snake.

[B]

Yeah, I think it was. I think Ryan's right, but that.

[A]

He's up next.

[C]

No.

[A]

All right, you give me another word, though.

[C]

It is going away.

[D]

No. Eis or Ies.

[C]

Don't pick one. Don't pick an easy one.

[A]

I may pass, by the way, to a different word.

[B]

All right, Lieutenant.

[A]

No. That is infinitely harder than any other word. All right, that's infinitely. Well, I'll. Fine. I'll do it. Are you serious?

[B]

I can't think. Another.

[A]

Is this another? No.

[C]

Jared.

[A]

Is this another IE situation on my hands, too? Disaster.

[B]

D, I, A spelled cluster.

[A]

God damn it, Lieutenant. Can I get a. Let's use it in a sentence.

[B]

Jake is the lieutenant of this squad.

[A]

I would like an accurate sentence.

[B]

Lieutenant runs the army. I'm not sure. No, I don't get the rankings.

[A]

All right, I'm just gonna go with my gut. Gut. And I'm gonna hope it plays out for me. And if not, you know, Jesus, take the wheel. It's out of my hands. No one could ever take the yellow jacket out of my hands that I currently have. So, that being said, S, A, I, D. I just want to prove to everyone that I can spell no matter how this goes down. L tenant. I want you. If I get a letter wrong, I want you to stop me in the middle of the word before I get the whole thing.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

L.

[B]

I.

[A]

E, t. The ie. Pick the hardest words ever for me. Suck my dick, Jared.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[A]

You got the ie.

[D]

You got revenge on that.

[A]

That was the hardest part, was the ie.

[C]

And ie does not make an ooh sound.

[A]

It doesn't matter. The English language makes no sense.

[D]

Where's French?

[A]

Go ahead. Who's up next?

[B]

I think Tyler's up next.

[D]

That's me.

[A]

You guys are laughing. You just got misspell wrong. Are you seriously. You got beige wrong, dude, literally, objectively, everyone said that's fucked. That it's backwards. You spelled misspell wrong.

[C]

Tyler, go.

[B]

Oh, my God. Chihuahua.

[A]

Oh, thank God. Thank you, Jared. How you gonna get out of this one?

[D]

C, H, I, H, U, A. Chihuahua.

[B]

Incorrect.

[D]

I missed, like, a whole section of the word, didn't I?

[C]

You spelled chihuahua.

[B]

You got it right.

[D]

Wow.

[B]

You got it right. It just ends with hua. Yep.

[A]

Doesn't matter. If he gets this wrong, he just wins.

[C]

He wins with one correct answer. I think that. I think that's how I did it last time.

[D]

I think so.

[C]

All right, Jared, hit me with it.

[B]

All right, let me find a good one.

[C]

It.

[A]

Chihuahua is.

[D]

That is a weird one.

[A]

Also, how we started this. B to the. You're pulling out now? I think the committee needs to have a committee meeting, and we discuss the difficulty of these ones.

[B]

You loved it the first year.

[A]

I would. Yeah, because you. I think I won on, like, color.

[B]

No, charcuterie is the one you spelled correctly.

[A]

Yeah, that one's cake. Well, it's cheesy meat, but sometimes not. Yeah, that Cheese and meat.

[D]

It's the cheese and meat of this. This podcast.

[A]

So. Did you forget? Because I remember first you're like, okay, we gotta at least, like, make this competitive. And so you gave us words like charcuterie, and now you're pulling out. Lieutenant And Joe pulled up beige. No, I will admit the beige is kind of bad. Lieutenant, though, is not great. It's like you said, I'm going to pick all of the words that have the most silent letters in them. And you said, let's do a spelling bee based off.

[B]

I can't pick the same words every year.

[D]

We don't remember what we spelled.

[A]

Also, how many. Do you know how many words are in the English language that don't have silent letters?

[B]

I don't know. I have no idea.

[A]

I need more consonants.

[C]

Jared, hit me with it.

[B]

Oh, my God. All right. Prosciutto. It's like A meat.

[C]

Excuse me? Oh, wait.

[B]

Prosciutto. Or is it a cheese? It's either a meat or cheese.

[D]

It's meat. Yeah.

[C]

Is that how it's pronounced? Prosciutto or proscetto?

[A]

I don't think it's. Yeah, I don't think he's pronouncing it right. So that's also.

[C]

Can I get a correct pronunciation? Because I'm pretty sure.

[A]

Just Google it.

[B]

Scared?

[D]

Actually, google the pronunciation on your phone. I think it's bruschetto.

[B]

Pru. How you say Jake?

[C]

Prosciutto.

[B]

Prosciutto. Okay.

[A]

Good luck with that. Son of a.

[C]

Prosciutto.

[A]

Hey, no matter how this word goes down, just remember that we have yellow jackets.

[C]

That's correct.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And honestly, it's getting a little boring just being me and you.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So if you get this wrong, it'd be nice to have Tyler in the club. Then, like, also, we don't have to eat the entire turkey dinner at the winner's dinner. That's what I chose.

[C]

Is that press shooto or brashudo?

[B]

Prosciutto.

[A]

I think he's saying prosciutto.

[B]

Prosciutto.

[C]

Prosciutto. P R, E, S, C, H, U, T, T, O. Prosciutto.

[B]

Isn't it.

[A]

Is it P, R, O?

[B]

You can steal here.

[A]

What did you say? You said it was pre.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Isn't it pro?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm back in, baby. I'm back in.

[B]

I mean, you want to finish it off, Miles?

[A]

Pro. It's. There's no S in it. Or there is an S.

[D]

Imagine some kid pulled that. National spelling be.

[C]

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. So there's not.

[A]

There's not teasing this. Can I just get some clarity here?

[C]

I just want to know how the prosciutto is spelled.

[A]

P, R, O, S, C, H. There's.

[C]

No S E. We clarified.

[A]

Wait, you guys said there was an S?

[D]

No, there is.

[C]

No.

[B]

No, there's not an oh, it's a ch. No, it's P, R, O, S C, I, U, T, T. Oh, no.

[A]

H. Yeah.

[C]

Who the.

[A]

Nah. All right. He's got to prove it. If he gets this word wrong, we're all back in these rules.

[C]

Give me the spelling one more time.

[A]

Time.

[B]

P, R, O, S, C, I, U.

[A]

T, T, O. Yeah, I was never.

[C]

Prosquiata. Prosquiato.

[A]

Well, I am glad that we all got at least one hard word.

[D]

Ryan didn't know. We only know vignette because of editing.

[A]

Yeah, it's like vinegarette, but, like, less word Letters.

[C]

I'm kicking myself about misspell right now.

[A]

I mean, I got absolutely by the nursery rhyme of IVA40. Except after C. McGrown. Man, I'd have to go home tonight and be pissed.

[C]

Well, the way Jared said it was miss. He said Ms. Bell.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Why didn't you put a B in it?

[A]

He's basically just, yeah, it's got to.

[C]

Be one S in it.

[A]

Then also, Lieutenant's French, isn't it?

[D]

Yeah, I said that. When you're like, what's wrong with the English language?

[C]

Okay. You have to prove.

[A]

Also, though, the French. French. They don't pronounce any letters ever.

[D]

Well, in lieu of reason.

[A]

Also, this is an English spelling bee, and you chose a French word.

[C]

Well, Prescario has got to be Italian.

[A]

You have done. Is beige even an English word?

[D]

Vignette is definitely.

[B]

Do we agree with this?

[A]

Chihuahua.

[C]

Chihuahua.

[D]

Spanish.

[A]

Chihuahua. Lieutenant Preschiato. Beige is French too.

[B]

But you're French.

[A]

Yeah, I know, but this is an English beat. I've only been studying the English words. I call for a redo on English words only.

[B]

You.

[C]

You.

[A]

Next episode.

[B]

So the first added one, you spelled charcuterie correct. Is that an English word or is it?

[C]

Yeah, it is.

[A]

No, no, I think it is.

[C]

It is.

[A]

Well, regardless, it was amazing that I mumbo jumboed with not being having English words. I'm beginning to think you don't even know an English word. The only one that was English word.

[D]

Was misspelled, which is probably not English.

[B]

You have to really boil it down that both these are probably not.

[A]

I did I call? Yeah, this is. Yeah, I call for a redo.

[C]

This is nothing but a crock pot of.

[B]

I think I have seven more words if you guys really want to.

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

I don't want to. I. Did. You win.

[D]

I. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

By definition of the rules, you have to prove it.

[A]

Well, there's.

[D]

You didn't have to.

[A]

I think there was tampering.

[D]

How do you know?

[A]

I think there was.

[D]

I remember.

[C]

Yeah, because I. I went twice last time and you didn't.

[D]

I've gone twice. I got one right.

[C]

I'm talking. Last time, when you said I didn't.

[D]

You didn't have to prove it.

[A]

This is like the water gate.

[C]

You have to prove it.

[D]

No, I don't.

[A]

Water.

[D]

We have the same amount of words. And I got one more right.

[C]

Jared, give him one more word.

[A]

TTE One more word.

[D]

Sure. I mean, I still win, regardless.

[A]

8.

[B]

Millennium.

[D]

That's millennium.

[A]

Just think back to the Backstreet Boys album. Easy.

[D]

I was going the Falcon. M I, L, L, E N I, U M. Millennium.

[B]

Incorrect. What?

[A]

Couldn't even prove it.

[B]

You missed one end by the. There's two ends right there.

[C]

Like back to back ends and then I. Yep.

[B]

M, M, I, L, L, E, N, N, I, U, M. I mean, I.

[C]

Would have spelled it the exact way you spelled it.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

God, what a disaster.

[C]

So this spelling bee's a draw. Everyone has. No, it's not.

[A]

Oh, you had two, Miss.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, but I had one, right?

[A]

This is three words. I only got two words.

[C]

No, now we go to sudden death. Now we go to Suddenly My Jacket.

[A]

No, I think that next year, you know, sudden death. And I'll remember this a year later.

[D]

When he does the yellow jacket joke for the first time again.

[A]

No, we all remember that. Everyone gets three words. It's not a. Just a double elim. And we'll do the. Out of that. Because two words ain't enough. Well, it's not supposedly. When they're not English. In English, please. You know I don't speak Spanish.

[C]

No, I think we have to go sudden death right now.

[D]

No, no.

[A]

I say. Okay, here's the new rules for next year. Everyone gets three words, and they all have to be four letter words. And the first word. I know you're going to give it to me. You're going to give me diet, and then I'm not going to remember where the eye and the E.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Wait, where does it go?

[D]

Give him Lou in L. Yeah.

[C]

L, E, I. Yeah.

[D]

L, I, E, U.

[C]

This is joke.

[A]

L, L, O, U, though. Is the name right? Yep.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Or Louis. L, O, U. I, S. Not to brag. Knew that S was there at the end. Couldn't even hear it. Couldn't even hear the S. But I knew it was there. It's an absolute.

[C]

You know, we should. Next time we should go spelling B. Should be us Cities.

[B]

I like that idea.

[C]

No, because then we know it's American.

[A]

Well, yeah.

[D]

First of all, a lot of US.

[A]

Cities are not based off of Santa Fe.

[B]

Right. Fond du Lac.

[A]

Like, New York is just the new.

[D]

Version of York, which is English, so I take that back.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

And San Diego.

[A]

We're gonna make this next spelling. We're gonna make the next B. So English. You're gonna have to do an English accent.

[D]

Cheeseburger.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

And if you don't put this.

[D]

Burgers or German.

[C]

Is there a space in between or not?

[A]

I don't know. Space between that. That was I mean, talk about. Let's. We need to drink. We need to. We need to drain the swamp on the spelling bee committee. This is horseshit. We're gonna unionize. We're gonna get some demands out there. And us. Us beers need some answers. All right. It's A, N, S, A, N, S, W, E, R, S. Answers. That actually would have been a great letter as a silent W in there.

[D]

No, you should pronounce it from now on. Answers.

[A]

Answers. What is it?

[B]

State nickname trivia. So I'll ask you guys, like, for example, what is the Flicker Tail State? And we'll go.

[A]

I know what that is.

[C]

Right.

[D]

Can I answer it?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

It's North Dakota.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I thought we were the Peace Garden State.

[B]

That too. There's multiples.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

UND's football team or UND the college used to be the Flicker Tails.

[A]

Okay. I was gonna say I was. That would. A Peace Guard State. But that's also why Flicker Tail made. I knew what it was, but I didn't know it. But in a more real sense, I.

[B]

Had no idea because he thought about it.

[A]

It.

[D]

Do I get a point for getting it right?

[B]

No, that was an example.

[D]

Oh, Jared. Yeah.

[B]

So you guys want to pick a number between 1 and 100 and we can pick a ghost first, then.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I go last. Closest one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So hold on. So the rules are you're going to go around the room until everyone gets eliminated twice except for one person.

[B]

Spelling be rul.

[A]

Spelling be rules.

[D]

Two strikes, you're out.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Two strikes, you're out.

[D]

Any steals?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay, can we. If. Let's say no one knows and then you give a hint and then it's open form, you hit the nut button, then whoever hits it first gets to answer. But if you. The person gets that right, then the other people, when they. That person gets out, they get to come back in. Like lightning.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But before knock out lightning.

[C]

Before you answer. After the nut button, though, you have to smoke an herbal cigarette.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

In order to get.

[A]

It's kind of like some golf scrambles. If you shotgun a beer, you get an extra mulligan. Yeah. Can we do. Can we add something like that in?

[B]

Yeah. Shot a nice.

[D]

Bring one tank of a teammate that can shotgun 15 beers. He's useless for the squad. But he got us some mulligans.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Team player.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

All right, Jared, let's do it.

[B]

Pick a number between one and 100.

[D]

Right.

[C]

Well, I gotta go first. 51.

[B]

51. Tyler.

[D]

69.

[B]

49 miles goes first. The number was two.

[A]

I almost guessed five. I don't know why.

[B]

So Miles goes first.

[A]

I don't know if that's good or bad. I could be out first.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think I'll just go clockwise. That works.

[A]

Yeah, that works.

[D]

Sure.

[A]

It's your game.

[B]

All right. Miles, what is the Wolverine State?

[A]

Michigan.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

Easy, easy.

[D]

College mascots, I think are gonna come in big here.

[B]

Yeah, that could be Flicker Tails and.

[D]

Wolverines back to back.

[B]

Ryan, what is the Centennial State?

[C]

Really? Centennial.

[D]

Way harder than Wolverine State.

[C]

I mean, it's. College mascot. The Centennial State. Maryland.

[A]

Nope.

[C]

I don't know why you're looking at me for a second. Answer.

[A]

What is the answer? Oh, is it New Hampshire?

[B]

Colorado.

[A]

Oh. Never would have gotten that.

[B]

Tyler, what is the Old Dominion State?

Where's the college?

[A]

Can't tell you.

[D]

Massachusetts.

[B]

Virginia.

[A]

I wouldn't have got that.

[C]

I was gonna get.

[A]

This is so. This is gonna be the quickest segment of all time.

[C]

What was it?

[B]

Virginia.

[A]

Virginia. Hold on. By just me getting one right, I may win this whole thing.

[D]

That's how I won the spelling bee that one year. I got one word right.

[B]

All right, Jeremy, be clear. I randomize this entire thing.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

Now I'm gonna know the rest.

[A]

Bye bye. Tyler. Montana.

There's no correlation between Treasure and Montana. Like, that's just cut. Cut and dry, dumb.

[B]

Miles, what is the Beehive State?

No, you didn't. You didn't know it was Alabama.

[A]

Yeah, I did.

[C]

You.

[A]

I almost said it out loud.

[C]

You. You just. You didn't know that.

[A]

I mean, that's like the most obvious thing.

[D]

I even tried to cheat there. I googled it and I was like, looking at Ryan. I texted it to him.

[A]

Him? Really? You guys are.

[D]

I was trying to cheat. I didn't want the game to be over so fast.

[C]

Well, no, Miles is it. Miles has to. If he gets this one wrong, then I get a redemption.

[A]

I. I only have one wrong.

[B]

Correct.

[A]

And I went first.

[D]

You have had even attempts.

[C]

I went first.

[B]

No, you didn't.

[D]

No, Miles did. He got Wolverine State in Aloha State to start.

[A]

Give me one more just for good measure.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Pick a good one, though.

[B]

What's the Garden State?

[D]

I know this one. I know this one.

[A]

I don't think I know this one.

Yep.

Very close.

[D]

What?

This is Madison Square Garden in New York, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Such a layup.

What song is it? Tip Drill.

Okay. All right. Do we have any other traditions? We could always start them.

[D]

New format this year.

[C]

New format, Yo. It should be like every. Like, everyday words or items that you use that are hard to spell.

[A]

No, we don't want hard to spell words, Ryan.

[C]

Well, just like. Like, instead of vignette, how about vinaigrette?

[A]

Oh, how about vinegar?

[B]

How about.

[D]

Oh. Oh. Oh, that was cool.

[C]

It was on my team.

Well, that was horseshit. I don't think we need to do any more spelling bees. I think what we should do is do a Sudoku competition.

[D]

Big for great audio.

[C]

Well, no, we can each. We could just each, like, each camera is panned down at our Sudoku chart.

[D]

Oh, we're just. What? We'll narrate our own actions.

[C]

We could also do. We could do presidents, where it's like. Like I say one, he says two, he says three.

[B]

Yeah, we do that. We have a lot of options.

[C]

Yeah, but you go in different or you don't tell us.

All I know is I can't wait another year to win something. So we're gonna need to do a competition that I can win sooner.

[D]

You win best boss right now.

[A]

Jesus. It's just salt in the wound. It's just like. It's like rain on your wedding day. This is like. This is like getting a free ride after you've already paid, you know?

[D]

Spell ooey gooey.

[A]

Two, you get the yellow jacket that we will acquire at some point.

So actually, if you just want to head to Halberstad, get your measurements, they'll be waiting for you.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

That would actually be kind of funny. We could just have.

[C]

We could just have Holiday send the oui gooey delicious treat to Halberstads and I could just pick them up both out.

I'm like the ESPN reporter.

[C]

This is a speech in terms of preparation again. 1 hour Ice Mountain leading up to the thing. Get the body full of water. When you. I. When you would say, say a word, Jared, it would pop into my head and I could just. I was just reading across. I was reading from left to right. It's pretty much what I was doing.

[A]

Braggadocious speech. You're not gonna thank anyone?

[C]

Well, I mean, I'd like to thank Jared for giving me, I mean, decently hard ones. I think I ukulele. I would have been fucked on that one. As well as probably a few other ones.

[A]

Sovereign as well as the other one I got wrong.

[C]

Words were in my favor today. Again, it's all about it, honestly. Comes down to Jared and what he's picking. So number one, I gotta think, Jared, thank you because I could have got ukulele and been number one.

[D]

Jared, number two. Yeah, I'd like to thank God.

[C]

I'd like to thank Miles for the yellow jacket and I like to take. Thank Tyler for giving me the yellow jacket from last year. I didn't make my way around the room and give everyone a thank you and some.

[A]

Would you like to say any kind words about the competitors in this competition?

[C]

I mean, the fact that we went as long as we did and we almost ran out of words.

[A]

We did go long. We really did.

[D]

I'm proud of us for that historical spelling beef.

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

Number four.

[C]

It was one, one, one best of four series. Now we're going to go go to Sudoku. Sudoku or Sudoku? Oh, Sudoku. S O D O K U. Right?

[B]

I think so, yeah.

[D]

I don't have a problem, but I believe you.

[C]

I couldn't have been more dialed in today.

[A]

Continuing to spell words is like a NASCAR driver doing donuts.

[D]

Do you nut apostrophe S European spelling go of donut. Yeah.

[C]

D o u G H N u T. Nailed it.

[D]

He's dialed this, man.

[A]

You know, if I caught me on the right day, I maybe would have just gone home. But Ryan deserved this one. And so as the losing speech here. Ryan, you really did a good job today.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

I will take my hundred bucks for throwing the game for you after this.

[C]

You tried to throw it. Yeah, with rhetoric. I thought I was gonna. I thought that would have done it right there, but.

[A]

I would. I think we should amp this up, actually. I think we should go the next level. I think we should have more traditions. I think we should do a ceremony of some sort. I do think that there should be a winner's lunch. So if you win, you gotta buy lunch. Legally treats for the next year.

[B]

For the next year.

[A]

I think we gotta take this to the next level. I think we need at the beginning a. A full history lesson. Talk about the godfather of the spelling bee. The first winner, whoever that was, I don't even remember so long ago. I think we should amp it up. Okay, so next year. When you say last year, Miles, you said you should say. You said we should amp this up.

[C]

I think I. I think Mr. Webster would be. He would be the godfather.

[D]

Miriam.

[C]

Miriam. Yeah.

[A]

Well, no, the godfather of this spelling bee is the first winner, whoever it was.

[D]

Jared, you better have all this memorized when you're doing your commissioner's address at Madison Square Garden.

[A]

I think we should. Also, last year, I ramped down the amount of words, potential words. I think we need to ramp it up.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So it was kind of a cakewalk. Not gonna lie. Cakewalk, Spell, A, spell, C, a K, E, space, W, a, L, K. Very good.

[A]

Tried to trip him up. Yeah, he's our he. Champ.

[D]

Are we sure cakewalk isn't one word?

[C]

I will say, when you threw misspell my way, I thought I was screwed.

[D]

That was a fantastic you I Last year.

[C]

I remember it got the hy off your back. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Next year, I think we should go quadruple elimination.

[D]

So four strikes, you're out.

[A]

No, but I think we should do more words, so.

[B]

Easier words.

[A]

For me. Yeah.

[C]

It's all about the draw. It's all about the draw.

[A]

Also, I would like to institute a. A hat that you pull words out of so you can't skew it so that I.

[D]

Okay, that's a good idea.

[C]

That's a good idea.

[A]

I'm not questioning Jared's character here, but.

[B]

No, that's fair.

[A]

I don't know what kind of collusion was going on behind the scenes.

[C]

That's a great idea. Yeah.

[D]

You could have, like, a. Because first, it gets harder as we go correct.

[C]

That's a tr.

[D]

So you could do have, like, an easy bucket, a medium bucket, and a hard bucket.

[B]

I always love that.

[C]

D said it gets harder as we go. And I said that's what she Said it was great.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

The. The neural links are firing in my head. The WI fi is going crazy.

[A]

So I think we do. I think we do do five words next year.

[B]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[A]

Okay. Do you know 15 words?

[B]

I'll do my best.

[D]

You need to know more than that. We might go into extra innings again.

[B]

I'll just do this words we did this year for. For next year. You guys won't remember.

[A]

Oh, God, no. Sovereign. S, O, V, E, R, E, I, G, N. Correct. Let's go, dude. Also, I'd like to. Let's maybe throw in some.

[D]

Like.

[A]

You pay 20 bucks, you get to try the word again.

[D]

Mulligans.

[C]

Oh, that's not a bad idea.

[A]

Yeah, I think when I say amp it up, we're gonna amp it up. We're gonna also institute a phone a friend.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I like that.

[A]

That way. And you. What you need to do is you determine who your your caller is.

[D]

I got mine already ready.

[A]

And Jared's gotta call the number and say, we are at the spelling bee. Miles chose you as a phone a friend. He needs you to cons. And do it like that.

[C]

We could do one, two, where you can, like, you can eliminate. So if you're like knurling. If you're in between E and a U, you can have him eliminate.

[A]

Do a 50. 50.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, we do. We do like a full who Wants to Be a Millionaire next year is.

[A]

Who Wants to be a Millionaire rules.

[C]

Yeah, I like that.

[A]

So what, there's phone a friend. 50, 50.

[D]

And we'll have to do it in front of a live studio audience.

[A]

Well, we maybe can have some members of the company in the thing and we can all collectively.

[C]

Yeah, I like that. Let's go.

[A]

Also, let's make it multiple choice. Let's not actually have to spot who.

[C]

Wants to Be a Millionaire rules. Yeah.

[A]

Let's just do who Wants to be a Millionaire but with spelling words instead of spelling.

[D]

It could just be trivia questions too.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Didn't we?

[A]

And we could probably put some money on the line.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And say somewhere between the like, a dollar and like a million bucks, you could.

[D]

And it progressively gets higher the more you get. Right.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think we'll bring out Regis Philbin into.

[C]

Yeah. Or Greg Marcus.

[A]

Way too soon, Jared. Oh, Regis is gone. Always do, but not forgotten.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Meredith was the host for a while.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

You bring Meredith in.

[A]

We actually had a who Wants to be a Millionaire like game set.

[C]

I think we did too.

[A]

So you. You would like. You would put a card into A thing. And then if you did a. If you used a 50, 51, there were sliders and the host or the person you're playing against could see what the thing was in the back. Back and slide two of them closed. That weren't it.

[B]

Can you bring that in?

[C]

Yeah, you know, we, We. You know, we could do. We could. We could incorporate Deal or no Deal style where you. You have words in like a briefcase. What the. You want to call it? Or like a box.

[A]

Just a bunch of women in. In dresses all standing in here holding a briefcase.

[B]

25 women.

[A]

25 women models just cramped into the studio all holding a briefcase with a word inside.

[C]

Yeah, that'd be.

[A]

No, if you get it. It's just not even. Let's just do deal or no Deal who Wants to be a Millionaire Spelling bee. If you spell a word right, you get to choose a case. And while you're trying to spell the words right, you get to use who Wants to be a Millionaire rules. And then you can make a deal with Jared based off Baker based off of the cases and let the cards fall where they fall.

[B]

Somebody like sitting up there with the banker.

[A]

We put Jake on the roof and.

[D]

We'Ll get walkie talkies. So Jake and phone in his office.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This pulled the 10,001. What do you want to give them over?

[C]

Yeah, we could have Jake's head just like right above the.

[D]

Put him in the ceiling tire so.

[C]

It'S pure reflection coming down. Silhouette.

[B]

Yeah, silhouette.

[C]

S I L H O U L E T T E. I don't.

[D]

That sounds right.

[A]

Sure. Whatever you. What do we got? We have trivia.

[B]

Trivia.

[A]

I would have liked to have been prepped for this. I might have studied.

[B]

I don't think you prepped for this.

[C]

There's no.

[A]

I'm saying I didn't know until we sat down. And so now I'm flying as blind. So if I do lose, it's probably because it was underprepared.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Is there a central topic or.

[A]

No, this is general trivia.

[B]

Yeah. Only one rule. I'll go around each person one at a time. If you interrupt the question and answer it, you lose one point.

[D]

Oh, I like this.

[A]

Hold on, hold on. I think really I thought it would just be that you don't get to hear the rest of the question.

[B]

What do you mean?

[D]

No, he's saying, like, if he's asking me a question and you interrupt me.

[A]

Me?

[B]

Yeah, like. Like you try answering the question. You'll.

[A]

So this is one by one correct.

[C]

It's just like spelling bee.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Spelling bee. Yeah.

[C]

Spelling bee style.

[D]

So.

[A]

All right, who's going first?

[C]

Do we have an award for trivia winners like we do spelling bee winners jacket.

[A]

Yeah. Is this an annual thing, by the way? We could do it.

[C]

We've done it before.

[B]

This took me a while to come up with.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

This has been like a year in the making.

[D]

Perfect. Get started on next year tomorrow.

[A]

This is kind of a time capsule situation.

[C]

Yeah, we were gonna. We'll get that. Hold.

[A]

Well, it was raining today.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Side note, I already have two words for next year, spelling bee, so.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Progress, like collecting them. He sees a neat word, that's exactly what happens.

[B]

All right. For miles, name one person in the main event of UFC217.

[C]

Can you tell me what year it was in 2017?

[B]

I think.

[A]

I don't have a good guess.

[C]

2017. What month?

[B]

I don't remember.

[C]

Because that, that does matter.

[B]

It was George St. Pierre and Michael Bisping.

[C]

Yeah, I wouldn't.

[B]

Oh, really?

[C]

No.

[A]

Okay. Okay. Why did I get that question.

[B]

For Ryan in season two of the Office, what was Pam's fiance's name?

[C]

[A]

She did have two fiances, so it's. Jim was the second fiance.

[C]

Oh, really? Yeah.

[A]

Spoiler alert.

[C]

So I, I was close in season two, though.

[A]

I see what you're doing with this, Jared. I'm gonna crush the next one. How many questions are we getting?

[B]

Three each. Okay, there's one tiebreaker.

[C]

Do you know what questions you're asking each individual?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay, so it's not random minimized.

[A]

Yeah. This is kind of rigged.

[B]

All right, Tyler, what's the name of David Goggin's best selling book that came out in 2018?

[C]

So easy, dude.

[D]

Who's gonna carry the boat?

Mind freak.

[B]

Nope, can't hurt me. Master your mind and defy the odds.

[A]

All right.

[C]

That's a great book. You can borrow it from me if you want.

[D]

I think I have a copy.

[A]

You have it?

[C]

I do, yeah.

[D]

My dad keeps giving me Goggins books that I'll never read.

[C]

Yeah, it's a great book.

[A]

Mordor.

[B]

Final answer.

Minus one for Jared.

[D]

Did you do this to make all the people that know the answer squirm?

[A]

Really?

[C]

You Mordor?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Middle Earth.

[A]

Ah, fuck, I knew that one. What is Mordor again?

[D]

That's just the bad place.

[A]

Okay, so it's the thing on the continent. Okay, okay, okay. All right.

[C]

It's like the gulag in Call of Duty. It's like that Central bad.

[B]

For Ryan. What are the three basic component components of concrete?

[C]

God. Gravel.

[A]

Water.

[C]

And sand. Like rock, water, sand.

[B]

I think it's incorrect. It's water aggregate, which could be rock, sand or gravel. And Portland cement.

[A]

Cement. Yes.

[C]

Like, like, like ground up cement.

[A]

It's just cement. Cement is a powder.

[C]

Gotcha.

[D]

So this is a great.

[A]

So. So when you do cement, only cement, you don't have like the aggregate in there.

[C]

Okay, so not a dumb question. Cement is different than concrete.

[A]

Correct. Cement goes into concrete.

[C]

Gotcha.

[B]

For Tyler.

[A]

I should have gotten the middle earth for Tyler.

[B]

What is the optimal temperature for a medium rare steak?

[C]

That's an easy one. Tyler.

[D]

Medium rare. 140.

[B]

Final answer.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Incorrect.

[C]

135.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Son of a. I was close.

[A]

I asked him. I was going to say like 125.

[C]

Yeah, well, you. I usually. You cook it to 125, let it rest like 130.

[B]

Yeah, you could have said. Yeah, you could have said in between 130 or 135. Any of those numbers would have worked.

[D]

That was close. That was close.

[A]

All right, I'm gonna nail this.

[C]

Let's go. This is a slap in the face back to Jared if you get this.

[A]

It is.

[B]

All right. Who was the Vikings head coach of the 1970s? Is.

[D]

He's gonna get this.

[C]

Got this. Dude.

[A]

Oh, God. I don't know if I am.

[C]

I want to give you a hint right now.

[B]

Don't.

[D]

Don't.

[C]

Cuz you know the hint I want to give.

[D]

Don't.

[B]

Don't say any.

[D]

Yeah. And. Yep.

[A]

I don't think I'm going to get this. 70s. I wasn't even a twinkle in my dad's eye.

[C]

You were part of him, though.

[D]

Just deep, deep up in there still.

[C]

I had to watch you still wait in line.

[A]

I had to watch many good men go to die. It's like, okay, Bud Grant.

[B]

Got it. Got it.

[A]

Let's go. I thought he owned it. I thought he was the owner who owns the Vikings now.

[D]

It's Ziggy Wilf family.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Go.

[C]

It's a huge slap in the face back to Jarrett Bud Grant.

[A]

I. I, for some reason thought that he was part of the ownership.

[B]

Go for Ryan. What is the capital of New Hampshire?

[C]

Where is New. Like, I know where New Hampshire is on the map, but what states border New Hampshire? I might get the Pennsylvania blanking.

[B]

It's like those. It's like 13 colonies.

[A]

I think I got it, though.

[C]

New Hampshire.

[D]

I couldn't name a single city in New Hampshire.

[B]

I couldn't either.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Except one.

[A]

I think I got it. I hope I got it.

[B]

10 seconds.

[A]

I love how he gets.

[C]

I. I don't. I don't. I.

[D]

There's silence.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

Just guess.

[C]

Well, I. I like. I want to say Dover, but that's Delaware, and it's not Dover. I know that because it's Delaware. So Dover's my final answer, even though it's incorrect.

[B]

It's Concord.

[A]

That's what I was gonna say. Let's go.

[C]

I think that was my one.

[A]

Vermont is Mont. Peer. Because Vermont ends with Mont and Montpelier starts with Mont. Little fun fact for you. Let's go, dude.

[C]

You should name your next. If you have another boy, you should just name him Ver.

[A]

Vermont.

[B]

For Tyler. What's the longest muscle in the human body?

[D]

The longest muscle.

[C]

I think it's case by case, isn't it?

[B]

Depends.

[D]

Is it? I keep thinking, like, I was gonna say hamstring. That's not a muscle.

[A]

It's a muscle group, actually.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I take you. You could say hamstring. It's one muscle. Because I. I couldn't tell you the what the actual three hamstring muscles are named. They don't really teach you that. I feel like.

[B]

Like chicken beef.

[D]

I. I feel like it could be a trick question. You could go with brain. Brain is a muscle. I don't know if it's long, though. If it counts. And you stretch it out. I'm going to go with the quad.

[B]

It is the. I think the sartorius muscle.

[A]

Is it. Does it go a wrap around your. Or go on your inner thigh?

[B]

Or something Definitely on your leg.

[C]

That would make sense. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

It like starts up by your hip and goes down towards the bottom, I think.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Son of a gun. So I was in the right area.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I don't remember if it goes this way around or this way around. Cuz your it band, your ilotibial band is on the outside. So I don't.

[C]

Yeah, I'm gonna go 9001.

See, we should have him write it down and show right one.

[C]

That was. That. That shouldn't have counted because it's.

Yeah.

[A]

I do not price is right model.

[B]

Yeah. But I think Ryan's gonna get this closest. I have a good. I have another Price is right one.

Okay.

Not sure.

[C]

Okay, Tyler, Father, here's what I'm gonna do.

[B]

How many citizens are living in the country of Cambodia?

[C]

[A]

All right, I'll think of a question. Okay, here we go. This one's for speed. Okay, whoever says it, Jared, I'm going need you to google it because I don't know the answer to this.

[C]

You got to buzz in or not.

[B]

I'll do it on my phone.

[D]

I just over finish setting first.

[A]

How many people died in the Boston molasses disaster?

[D]

0.

[C]

18.

[A]

Wrong.

[D]

4.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

150.

[A]

Okay, so we going closest we can. He went zero himself.

[C]

Unless it's five. Then you're. I guess you are closest.

[A]

I think it was 21, wasn't it 21. Oh, that's.

[C]

I'm right on then.

[A]

All right. You're the biggest loser, Tyler.

[D]

I am.

[A]

Finally a competition that's not rigged though.

[B]

You're like, I like that one.

[A]

I do. We should do more of that.

[C]

That was pretty good competition.

[D]

That was a good bit, Jared.

[A]

It just goes to show, I'm kind of a Renaissance man.

[D]

You know, I was squirming at Middle Earth because I know Miles is a little bit of a closet nerd and I knew he should have gotten it.

[A]

Yeah, I'll be kicking myself later.

[C]

Yeah, you gotta get that on the Patreon discord. You kicking yourself.

[A]

All right, Jared, you. We now have the long awaited annual spelling bee coming up. Okay, He. He came prepared. Do you see that? He's. Dude, he pulled out materials for this since Monday. Now the question is, did we get a yellow jacket or not?

[D]

Not.

[B]

What do you think?

[A]

I Mean, I probably told you that that's the only thing you got to do between now and the next spelling bee.

[B]

Well, you said that. And you wanted to make a dealer no deal style with 25 models standing in here.

[C]

I do remember that proposal.

[A]

And so bring in the models.

[B]

Not this year, Jared.

[A]

You got to do I. And then they'll all walk in.

[B]

Yeah. So.

[A]

Yeah. What else did I did? Those are the stipulations. We have to get a gold jacket and models. Were there anything else I said.

[B]

I was thinking about? You said we wanted to be like who wants to be a millionaire so you guys could call somebody. But I didn't really know how to work that out in my brain how that would work for you guys to call somebody and not to cheat.

[D]

We just call someone. Oh, have them not cheat.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Got it.

[D]

We could just all agree upon the person.

[C]

You'd have to FaceTime and it would be like.

[B]

Yeah, I was battling if it should be like a 15 second timer, but I don't know. I didn't think it would work.

[D]

So, like, if Ryan wants to call someone, me and Miles have to agree that that person's okay to call. We don't think they'll cheat.

[A]

You know what, Jared? You're kind of starting to sound like the pga. Just resistance to change.

[B]

Well, there is a change.

[A]

Sound like the mlb.

[B]

There is a slight change. This year. I put all the names in a hat, and I'm gonna pick them one by one instead of just picking and choosing off of sheets.

[C]

All the names, all the words. Okay.

[D]

I was gonna say he's got a specific pocket in that hat for the Ieei words for you.

[A]

Miles, don't. God, I forgot about that.

[C]

All right, who has the jacket?

[A]

All right, so what are the rules again, Jared? That for the. The annual you bet your radio spelling bee. What are the rules?

[B]

Double elim.

[A]

Double elimination. What happens if all three people get eliminated on the same round? Is everyone back in?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, that's been the rules.

[C]

Or how about the last person gets in? It's just like dodgeball. If you. If you.

[B]

Yeah, you always. We do this every.

[A]

I know, I know, I know. So Tyler goes. Gets it wrong. I get it wrong. Wrong. Ryan wins.

[C]

No, I think you can get two wrongs. And if I get it wrong, if that's our second time getting it wrong for all of us in one round, then what I say is we each get another word. And if you get. If you get it right, you're back in.

[A]

Well, if. If all fail, no one Fails. So if there's only two people left and we both get it wrong on that round, then we do it.

[D]

We just keep going. Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Until there's one man standing.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

With the yellow jacket. Who won? What? What's the record? Who's all won?

[B]

You won the first year, Miles.

[A]

All one?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

Ryan won the second year, Ty won the third year, and Ryan won the fourth year. So this is our fifth year doing this.

[D]

Holy.

[A]

So wait, you're two time champs? Yeah. Two time. Okay, how are we deciding the order of who goes first?

[B]

Winner usually goes first. That's what we.

[A]

Okay, so Ryan's up first, and we go into clockwise or counterclockwise? I mean, these are things. Questions you gotta foresee.

[C]

J also think loser should go last.

[A]

Our fifth year doing this, loser should.

[C]

Or winner of last year should go last because then they can kind of.

[B]

You know, we've been doing winner first every.

[C]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. Why fix what's not broken? This is not. It's not broken at all.

[D]

It is. It's perfect. I don't see anything.

[A]

Are we going counter or. Or regular?

[B]

Clockwise? We'll go clockwise.

[A]

Okay, so we're.

[C]

Me, Tyler, Miles.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

All right, pick the first word here. Sound really good. Shake. Misspell.

[C]

I. In a previous year. I got this wrong. God damn it.

[D]

Okay. Headphone warning.

[C]

Say it. Will you say it again?

[B]

Misspell.

[C]

How did I spell it last time? Misspell. M. I spll. Misspell.

[A]

2S.

[B]

There's 2s.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

So you've gotten that right once. You got it right last year and the year before. You misspelled.

[D]

Misspelled.

[B]

So this is year one and two on misspell.

[A]

You've misspelled it two out of three times.

[B]

Y.

[A]

All right, I shouldn't be laughing because I'm still having to go.

[B]

So, Tyler next.

[D]

Yep.

[B]

Testosterone. Testosterone.

[D]

Okay. T, E, S, T, E, R, O, N, E. Testosterone.

[B]

Incorrect.

[C]

Testerone.

[D]

Oh, I missed the toss.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You missed ost.

[D]

I did. I did.

[B]

Yep. You missed that one.

[D]

I spelled it.

[C]

We are dumb.

[A]

We're dumb.

[D]

I. I spelled it right in my head and then just forgot three letters. Testerone, baby.

[B]

Testerone.

[C]

Eat that. Testerone boost.

[A]

We have Ms. Pel and Tessone so far. Let's see what I cook up.

[B]

All right, Miles. Mischievous. Mischievous.

[C]

No, the words. Mischievous.

[A]

Mischievous.

[B]

You got this?

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

You got this.

[A]

Say it again.

[B]

Mischievous.

[A]

Mis. Ch. God. E I, V, I, O, U, S. Was. Was that even close?

[B]

It was M I, s C H I, E V O U S.

[C]

I.

[A]

Before E, except stevios is. Wow, I spelled it.

[D]

You add an extra I at the end, too.

[A]

All right, we're all still good.

[D]

Hey. Strike. Strike ones.

[C]

Okay, now we go.

[A]

I was at least the closest.

[C]

I mean, that was only one letter.

[A]

Yeah, that's true. That was a hard word.

[C]

That was.

[D]

It was.

[C]

I would have had no clue.

[D]

Definitely harder than misspelling testosterone.

[B]

Own. There are some easier ones this year.

[A]

So also, are you pulling out of the same hat?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So he got misspelled the first one. And I got an IE one the first, and I still got it wrong.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

And that is horeshit. I'm calling for the committee to look into this.

[C]

And Tyler got testosterone after being low. T. I.

[A]

This is.

[D]

This is Jared.

[A]

How many hats you got there?

[B]

Just one.

[D]

All right, Rick.

[B]

Assassination. Assassination.

[C]

We gotta stop with these double s words. Assassination as a ss I n I t I o n. Assassination.

[B]

Incorrect. A s, s, a s, s I n. A t I, o, n. You almost spelled ascension.

[C]

I. I didn't say a t I.

[A]

O, n. So if. If one of us gets this next one right, you're done. You're done.

[B]

No, you're done.

[A]

God.

[C]

It's ass. Ass.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Ass.

[B]

Ass.

[A]

Didn't. Last year, didn't ryan win with one correct word?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

I don't remember.

[A]

We are headed for that right now. That's.

[D]

I think that's right.

[B]

All right, tyler, hit me.

[D]

Q.

[B]

Like a netflix q.

[C]

Easy, dude.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[D]

Hey. A q, u, e, u, e. Got it. Q. Yep. Yeah.

[A]

Got it. So easy. So if I get this wrong, right? Tyler wins.

[D]

Hell, yeah.

[B]

All right, miles. Biscuit.

[C]

It's easy, too.

[B]

Biscuit.

[A]

B, I, s, q, u.

[D]

You good?

[A]

I, T. What is it?

[B]

B, I, s. C, U, I, T. Biscuit.

[A]

Why did I think there was a Q?

[D]

Because of Bisquick, the pancake mix.

[A]

All right, Tyler wins. Why did I. Yeah, I definitely was thinking.

[D]

You totally are thinking quick.

[C]

Did you. You have pancake? Have you had pancakes lately? I could. I mean, I. I've had.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I've had pancakes sooner than I have spelled biscuit. That is the dumbest. Is it bis, Q, U, I, T, or is there another E in there somewhere? Somewhere?

[D]

Bisquick.

[C]

No, Bisquick is.

[A]

Why do you spell biscuit?

[B]

B I, s, C, U, I, T. Yeah, just.

[D]

You had it all right? You just swapped the C and the Q.

[C]

You should have just spelled Bisquick and be like, I was. I I was spelling the wrong word. I gotta go back.

[B]

I gotta go back. Wow. I think Tyler Wiggs.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

That.

[C]

What a show.

[A]

I mean, that was my biggest blunder. I. I don't even have an excuse for that. That was just full blown. I was thinking about biz quiz.

[D]

Pancake brain.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Can we redo that?

[A]

Can we. Can we run it back?

[B]

We can. I have 20 words, so we can.

[A]

So we got through six words.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

That is so bad. And the one word was Q. Yep. A word with three letters in it.

[D]

Three.

[B]

Five.

[A]

No, there's only three separate letters in the whole word.

[B]

That's a tricky one, though.

[A]

That was bad. That was really bad.

[D]

Because it could have been Q, C.

[A]

U, E. I'm actually pretty mad about getting that word wrong.

[D]

Ryan lost it.

[C]

I came back. Straight face, though.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

After like, a minute like this, you were just, like, vibrating.

[A]

I had Q on the brain.

[C]

Have you ever seen Seabiscuit? The movie?

[A]

No.

[B]

See, that would have helped.

[C]

That would have helped. It's a good movie.

[B]

She done another round?

[C]

Yeah. And I think if Miles and I both get ours right, then. Then it resets so Tyler doesn't win.

[A]

It also goes to show you don't need spelling to be successful in life.

[C]

No, that's.

[A]

Also.

[C]

If you're a good speller, then. Yeah, that's more. You have to help your kids.

[A]

I think that spelling words correctly is actually a detriment to success. You're wasting time on menial things like spelling.

[C]

If you're adding it.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

If you're adding an extra letters. Just more time.

[A]

If you're not using autocorrect, you are wasting time.

[C]

Even autocorrect doesn't spell right. It just changes it up on you.

[A]

This is. This is some bad showings for me.

[B]

You did so well the first year.

[A]

I know. I'm getting. I'm getting. I'm definitely getting dumber, I can tell you that much. Hey, I just spelled biscuit with a Q. Dumber.

[C]

D, U, M, M, E, R.

[B]

All.

[A]

Right, let's throw some more words.

[D]

Ryan did that.

[A]

Let's go. Rapid fire. Since it doesn't matter because Tyler already won.

[D]

Play the music. Music.

[B]

All right, Ryan, Facility.

[C]

F, A, C, I, L, I, T, Y. Facility.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Tyler, go.

[D]

Hey.

[B]

One sec. Diabetes.

[D]

D, I, A, B, E, T, E, S. Diabetes.

[B]

All right. Privilege.

[A]

P, R, I, V, I, L, A, G. There's no way. What is it?

[B]

P, R, I, V, I, L, E.

[A]

G, E. Oh, really?

[C]

That's. That's a tough one.

[A]

I'M gonna be honest, I don't think that's how you spell that word. I think how I spelled it is how you spell it.

[D]

I could, but.

[B]

Right. Right.

[A]

I'm 0 for 3. No, these guys keep. I need to get one right. Keep firing them at me until I get one right.

[B]

Synonym.

[D]

Like.

[B]

It's the same type of word.

[A]

Really?

[D]

You got this one?

[B]

Not the. Not like apple, crisp, cinnamon. It's like the grammar thing. Synonym.

[C]

Like, same.

[B]

Same. Yep.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Sy N O, N, Y, M. Got it.

[B]

There we go.

[D]

Hey, I think we should fucking give one to Jared.

[B]

Yeah, sure.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm not a good speller, but try it.

[A]

Yeah, fuck you, Jared. I can't just do one off the dome. All ass. GPT. I'll do like a medium hard one.

[D]

I got one for you to start. Mortician.

[B]

M O R T I C I.

[D]

A N. Yeah, you got it.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

That was way too easy.

[D]

Correct.

[A]

I. I asked GBT for a hard word to spell and it gave me. Me Flock and non. Philip. Location. Can't even say it.

[B]

I.

[A]

Okay, you got.

[C]

You got one or you want me to go?

[A]

I want. Your word is conscientious.

[B]

C o, n, s. C I, e, n c o u s s.

[C]

Wrong.

[B]

It's a tough one.

[A]

You add an extra e. I think I remember what you said. You had an extra e. How do you spell it? C o, n s c I, e, n t I, o, u, s. Oh.

[B]

There'S a t in there.

[A]

And you didn't add a t. Okay.

[C]

I got one for you.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Facade.

[B]

F a, a, c, a d, e.

[A]

I know all of these other words. All right, one more, jared.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

We're waiting. We're waiting. W A I T I N G. Spell Bureaucracy.

[B]

B U E C E R A C, Y.

[D]

All right.

[A]

B U R. Oh, there's an R E, A U C, R A C, Y. All right. So we all are equally bad spellers.

[B]

Yeah, we are.

[A]

But Ryan or Tyler is the new champ. The new reigning champ. Ryan, you gotta hand off the yellow jacket this year. So you've won two. You've won two. And I've won one. Thank God I won that first year. I don't think I'll ever win again.

[C]

I mean, we progressively have just been getting so much worse. Significantly, I think we like. It was a pretty good showing year one.

[A]

I think he's also picking harder words.

[D]

I don't think he is.

[B]

Biscuit.

[D]

I. I genuinely think the words of.

[B]

God.

[A]

I will admit that was bad. That was. That was that's one I won't. I'll try and scrub that from the Internet when my kid becomes of age. I don't need him thinking less of me.

[B]

Okay, I'll bleep that whole thing out.

[A]

Well, no, you don't have to bleep it out for like 10 years. Okay, so, you know, re. Upload a new one ten years from now. Just bleep that part out just so he never can. He can never find out.

[C]

Okay. Okay.

[A]

Th.

[C]

This will determine whether we're getting dumber or smarter. Miles, this word's for you. Beige. This is the nail in the coffin. Last year.

[B]

Oh, yeah. A year or two ago.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

B E, I G E. There we go.

[C]

There we go, There we go. A quick little IQ test. We're on the up and up.

[B]

Anyone?

[A]

Anyone? After this want to go get some bisquick and gravy? That was really dumb. I just. There's no other way to put it. We basically handed that to Tyler.

[D]

Yeah, I mean, after I spelled testerone, you just gave it to me.

[A]

I know. Next year, remind me. Jared. Okay, so now this is the portion where we talk about next year for next year. So next year I need you to remind me to not talk to anyone because I laughed at both of them and then I got biscuit wrong. So remind me. This is just a little note to not make fun of anyone until after I win. Secondly, I'd like the words to be a little easier. I think. I think we should do a, like a buildup scale.

[C]

Yes, they should.

[A]

You can't just whip out the hardest words right away. It just kills our com.

[B]

Essential eventually. My first thought was to do that and I was like, I'll just do the names in the hat thing.

[D]

So, you know, you should do.

[A]

You know, it's like football teams, they always put their, like, easiest game right at the beginning of the season just to build confidence going into the season. You know, like Alabama plays North Louisiana Tech, you know?

[B]

Sure. So maybe like a easy hat, a medium hat.

[D]

Totally. Just go like go 8th grade spelling words. 10th grade grade, senior year.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And you gotta also remember that this is. This is an entertainment show. Jared and us getting five out of six wrong is that people won't. Don't want to tune in for that.

[B]

You're right. You're right.

[A]

You know, like, that's why, you know, college football is a lot more fun sometimes. It's like you just get 50 point games left and right. So I think, you know, if. If we were the mlb, we would Throw in a juiced ball next. Yeah, we juice it up. We'd allow cork B to have steroids be legal. That's next year. Is the year of the be. Yeah, I want you to say that next year, I want you to say this is the year of the be. And the first four rounds are going to be easy words like car. It's. I mean, you want to go to a home run derby and see strikeouts?

[D]

I mean, I wonder if we did, like, third, third grade spelling B words, how long it would take for one of us to get it wrong and the embarrassment that would follow.

[A]

Yeah, I, I. Yeah, I just think.

[B]

So we should do a B derby next year.

[A]

Yeah, we just got. We just got too many pitching duels going on right now, and we need this to be a home run battle.

[C]

Yeah. Like, here's.

[A]

This is.

[C]

Third grade weekly spelling words week 24. Were family. Children.

[A]

Say M I, L, Y Children.

[C]

Parents.

[A]

A good tier one.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah, that's tier one.

[B]

I'll keep that in mind.

[A]

So you're gonna need three hats.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Easy, medium, and hard. Tier one, two, or three, however you want to label it. Yeah, I think that's all the changes I'd like to make for next year. Year. I'd also like us to get a yellow jacket.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Been saying that since five years in the making.

[A]

And I'd like to be there to be a black patch, you know, kind of like a B color scheme, but not like striped. That's too on the nose.

[B]

Right.

[A]

It's a black patch with an emblem that says annual YVR spelling be champion.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

And then down the sleeve, I'd like to have the years and the name of the person that's won it. And I think it should start with like. Like, let's just say we start with year one and go down. It's just like, it should look someone like an inverse pyramid. Like, the first year, the name should be the biggest. And then as it goes down, it just gets smaller to where you almost need a magnifying glass to read it on. The sleeve would be nice. And also, it's like, like, whoever won the first one, I don't remember who it was. Like, they should probably, like, get their face embroidered on it somewhere with, like, a crown on their head. Kind of the father of the bee. This, you know, they named the Lombardi trophy.

[B]

Oh, true.

[A]

So, well, whoever won, we should just name the jacket that person's name. So this, these are just simple things that I want to see done for next year.

[C]

Year.

[B]

Okay. And now Tyler has next year.

[C]

I'd like to see triple. Triple Elim as well.

[A]

Yeah, I would too.

[B]

Okay. Triple.

[D]

We can go eight for nine or.

[A]

Well, then we.

[C]

We just have three more chances.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, we're going triple E Limb entertainment show.

[A]

Trying to entertain. Trying to hit home runs.

[B]

You know, I think you have to pick the dinner now for Tyler. Tyler.

[A]

And we're about one spelling bee away from being able to get one mess up. So you get a second crack at them. We're not doing that this year. We'll see how next year goes.

[C]

I'm all again, yeah, like who wants to be millionaires? Like, you can use your one mess up and then you can. Like that gets crossed out.

[A]

Yeah, we're one year away. Maybe we'll see. It's. It's being tossed around in the ether of like, should we add a. If you knew it. But you got it wrong. Yeah, you can just like you can hit the. But you can hit the nut button. Entertainment means that you get to go back in.

[C]

Yeah, I. I knew. I knew it. But I got wrong. If I had a focus a little bit more, I'd have got it right.

[B]

Right.

[C]

That type of deal. Because entertainment.

[A]

I was watching a Tick Tock live last night of a guy who. He races marbles down a track and it's called like Cactus Canyon track. And everyone that got last would get eliminated until there was only one. Well, it. It just kept going on for. I watched for like a half hour. It just kept going on because the rule was that you could buy a baby dragon on the Tick tock live and bring one of the marbles back to life after they were eliminated. And it just went on and on. So we should shoot it live. And then if anyone sends baby dragons, they get to choose that person to give them an extra life.

[B]

That.

[C]

That's.

[A]

I don't know. That one's.

[C]

Yeah. Entertainment.

[A]

That one's just getting tossed around.

[B]

You know, you're right. I'll do better next year.

[A]

We would hope. Oh, you betcha. Yeah. Yeah.
