The downbeat on ninety seven to one the Freak. Thirty minutes away from a
reason why you should be optimistic about Rangers Astros this afternoon, think you,
Mike, I'm giving you the gift to Ginnis the gift Open it in thirty
minutes, one hour away from another update on the Oklahoma City Python. Thirteen
foot big slytherin albino python just lingering in a trailer park at Oklahoma City.
It's taken the nation by storm, top story on all the mainstream media news
channels. You've probably noticed if you've checked in over there. I don't think
it is. You're right, but and the most important thing in the world
a bit of a cheat code for you to use in your life. Right
now, Wake up, your little sleepy head. It's time to get you
stupid ass out of bed. About the most Impudn't like this one? That
one too long? I like the Vandoliers. Wonder yeah, the most thing.
You think the Vandoliers are awake right now? There's no chance still awake.
I don't know they're Josh, their lead singer like took health seriously and
quit drinking and runs every day, and his borderline unrecognizable now he's so thin
and healthy looking. Okay, yeah, so maybe he's up. Maybe he's
doing some uh some resistant resistance band exercises. Bands well, tweetos Vandoliers if
you're awake, any of the Vandoliers, if you're awake, that is.
Oh yeah, they always told us they're good people. I'm fixing something in
this audio, Danny, you found something. We have a couple of things.
There was one of the greatest will of fortune fails of all time involving
former NFL running back Rashad Jennings, but from one Jennings to another. Ken
Jennings in the news A number that was in has been in Mikey's cell phone
for a long time. Yes, I tried to acquire him as our Jay
celebrity guest and Danny was in work. Was this also in People magazine?
No, right after the Bastards of Soul articles? No, this, uh,
this popped up. I believe he was doing an interview with some sixty
minutes or seeing in It was some I can't remember the guy's name, but
it looked like a nice sit down with Ken Jennings because I guess he's kind
of part time hosting. He's full time now full time about to drop home
girls. Yeah okay, okay, well that must be the relevance of this,
but yeah, he uh, he kind of gave the secret to winning
at Jeopardy on national television and now on the internet read books. No,
that's not necessarily about how much you know. It's how quick you can get
in, and he gave you a hack on how to do it. All
right, JJ, we cring me up here. This is Ken Kenneffer Jennings.
Yeah, it's often the key to the game. We find smart people
and everybody there could pass the same difficult test to be there, and that
means often the margin of victory is just reflexes. And it's tricky. You
can't, as you know, you can't buzz as soon as you know the
correct response. You have to wait for the host to finish reading the question
that the clue. At that point the buzzers are activated, and if you
buzz early, you get locked out, and of course if you're too late,
you get beat by your competitors. So there's a very narrow window you're
trying to find. Rhythms of the host's voice are very important, and I
almost think that was my secret sauce coming into Jeopardy, as I had been
watching Alex since I was ten years old, and I knew how he would
say every clipped syllable in the clue I was reading, and then I knew
what the what the rhythm would be, WHOA okay dude. So I knew
that there was a strategy involved when it came to buzzing in. I did
not know that if you buzzed too early that you were absolutely locked out,
like you have to wait until he finishes the question. Yeah, And I
guess that's why they put the question up in print on the screen. The
question in full is on the screen. Correct. Well, I don't think
it is for them. You don't think it is for them. I don't
know. And that's one of the flaw not flaws, but inconsistencies of Jeopardy.
When you're playing at home, you could read ahead, and there's another
percentage of the illusion that you you would do well at this. If you're
just listening, it's a lot harder than if you can also read ahead.
We obviously can read ahead, yeah, as he's saying the question, But
I don't, I don't know. I don't think so I don't think they
can either. Yeah, I agree, and that makes that's a big differen
friends. Okay, let me. I always thought a big part of it
was getting lucky on your category draw. You can only be an expert in
so many things. Like Claven got lucky because it's amazing beer and us male.
He was on Jeopard, and he's like Cliff Clavin was a character of
the Cheers years ago. Because you do see even the person that wins or
dominates, you do see them go silent for a category or two if they
just absolutely no knowledge the French literature. Jesus, I just nailed some history,
but it's gonna be tough. Just set this one out and I won't
hurt myself on it, but I'm gonna read this. I just found a
category Welcome to Miami, Mike, you should know about Miami. Here.
I do. I know everything about Miami by looking at me. Okay,
without seeing it? How quick can you answer it? In the five seconds
needed? The easiest one. The Gold Coast Railroad Museum boasts the train from
which this president held a paper telling of his nineteen forty eight election defeat.
Uh Truman? Who is Truman? I've already buzzed in and won a million
dollars. Yeah, because I was. You would have. Really, why
aren't you playing the dinger? It won't show me the thing out, Kevin?
It was Truman correct? But I know, okay when Dewey whooped him.
Get you ready, I don't know what we're doing. Miami has the
USA's largest cruise terminal serving this cruise line named for a nearby sea. Danny
Carnival. No, Dan Caribbean, Caribbean correct. I would have accepted Royal
too. You guys just haven't heard of the Carnival sea. I did think
Carnival quickly, obviously. The question eliminated that. Welcome to Miami for six
hundred. Don't look to crash with this Miami heat legend and wife Gabrielle Union
Dang Mike, who is Duyane Wade? Correct? But he buzzed in early?
Now you can't he's locked out. Yeah, that's true, he can
buzz in. No, you can't wait for you to finish the question around.
Yeah, locked out if we're doing Jeopardy rules. That was the whole
point of this is you get locked out if you hit your buzzer before Alex
or Ken is done talking. Oh my god, I know that's what makes
it hard, because if you know it, you're I think your your natural
instinct would be and just start thumbing the button. Yeah right, kylee Ocho
or Southwest eighth Street, eighth Street, Kyocho. Little Havana ding is the
main thoroughfare of this area, home to many exiles. Mike Dang, Little
Havanah Dang. The brickhel section of town has one end of the tsunami trail
two hundred and sixty four miles away. The other end is naturally in this
city. Wow Dang, I think he got in before the buzzer key West
Tampa Bay. Damn it to take your eight hundred dollars, give it to
me. You are now a negative four hundreds. After all that, Dingy
is winning. You're sitting there, just sitting and waiting. Then, ding
did you find the Yeah, the categories I'm saving categories. Sure, give
me the give me the deal. He needs cord homie. Oh oh oh,
okay, hand it, I'm gonna need it back. In audio,
we only have one there you go, I forbid we have another. Uh.
This is the popular television show Cheers. I don't remember Cliff Claven,
who loved stamp collecting, got on the show and he needed to get lucky
with the categories. And here you go, and I know they have Woody
and Norm. George went in the crowd saying something, all right, are
we doing it for talking? We have taken our program out on location.
And if you weren't in the historically it's a special day for Boston, Massachusetts.
We have three new contestants with us today, one of them at least
very eager to show how bright he is. So let's get right to it.
Players. Good luck. I think when they introduced Cliff he was he
told everyone so excited to show everyone how bright he is, which is a
great one sentence that you get to introduce yourself. I'm going to play the
first round of Jeopardy, and here are the categories for you, civil servants,
stamps from around the world, mothers and sons, beer bar, trivia,
and finally celibacy. That's outstandings, edible complex. He's always talking about
his mom too. And they show Cliff his eyes widened, and then they
cut to Woody and Norm and there they look at each other like we got
a chance here, mister Claven's dream board here, he's free as long as
let's get lift. Could I get you to pick a category under the mount?
Why don't you go ahead and pick anyone you want? I mean,
I am feeling lucky today. Amazing, that's really good. Forty That show
is really funny and smart and all this stuff. Yeah, I don't if
you're not doing miss cheers ing and finally celibacy and he's like thumbs up,
high five bar trivia. Now we also have an element of fun from Will
of Fortune, and then it was a celebrity edition. It looks like they've
got some NFL running backs, including former Giant running back Rashad Jennings. Here's
thirty eight the board on Will of Fortune. It's hard to doing radio.
You have to explain, but the board, the category's rhyme time and all
but one letter is filled out on the board. Yeah, the board says
the puzzle is effing solved. Driving to Reno with blank Tarantino and on Quentin
Tarantino's name, it's everything but the Q. It's blank, U, E
and T I n okay. So driving to Reno with blank Winton Tarantino pretty
easy. Rashaw Jennings is up. I wish I could help, I really
do. But if why you can buy some time by spending number Clinton,
Plinton, Yeah, Plint and dared. Okay, I can see how Rashaud
Jennings might not have ever heard of Quentin, has never heard of him in
his life. Boy, that feels like you'd come across that name. Yeah
times, and even the name you're looking at it it says with so you
know it's a name, yeah in Quentin Quintin. Like, are there's Quentin's
in the NFL. Yes, it's not like it's and has a I mean
it's an unusual name, but not not the most unusual. Well maybe you
haven't seen it, but certainly the majority of people that are aware of film
have heard of pulp fiction. Yeah right, yeah, I mean how young
is he is? He he's thirty eight? Yeah, so not it'll be
tough. He was born in eighty five. Still, I'm feeling like pulp
fiction have been tough. He would have been nine probably didn't you know,
we've been tough one. But the point is there's some Commlinton base knowledge that
I think you just acquire from existing. It may just show you how isolated
from pop culture and that part of the world that athletes are man isolated from
names. There's not another name with you in t I N Quinton. We
have Quentin Williams and Quaen Richardson, and I mean there's athletes that have that
name. Yeah, Pin, I gotta go. How about while the wheel
sping, He's looking up there like I got no idea, I have no
clue. He's taking down at the discarded letters. A former Viking, Jared
Allen, the defensive end, was one of the other guys too, and
he didn't appear to want any of that either. Jared Allen have his mullet,
Yeah sixty nine Jersey pat. I mean he could have had. Like
the final thought someone gave him as he, you know, left for the
studio was like, hey, just don't don't take Q. They're under no
circumstance pick letter Q. It's not really gonna help you. That's a good
that's a really good point. I didn't think about that, Like there's a
handful letter like if you don't even barely know the game, Yeah, look,
don't take this cues like there his roommates trying to give him strategy to
help you. Here's what where it was, He's pretty good though, jolly
pop goo and the last letters and then fellow, okay, jolly goo fellow,
jolly goof fellow. I know they are jolly good fellow. Yeah,
yeah there is jolly fellow. Yeah, there you go. How that sounded
like a little kid answering? Is it a girl the first one? Yeah,
a girl that was a woman. It was, yes, jolly goof
fellow on the spot decision, it would be decision, would be the word
you need on the spot on the spot decision. Yeah, that's it.
That's it. Pat's a sweetheart. That last guy, he's he had like
all bad like everything was set up for him, like throughout the whole show,
and every time misspelled it. It's like the college edition. I think
that one was he said Achilles Achili like he was I got that one.
Yeah, good idea. Yeah, mythological hero Atos okay, also yeah,
mythological hero Achilles. Yeah that's it. Yeah, that's mispronunciation. And it's
the pause and he's yeah, we can't like he's said, he look,
I you kind of did it. You put me in this corner. This
one I have no choice but to say no. This one is booking my
sure excursion. That's a tough one. Not a common thing. You would
say, really, cruise talk booking my sure excursion. I'd like to solve
the puzzle boozing my shore excursion. No, uh excursion, no boozing,
Josh, I'd like to solve the puzzle booking my shore excursion. Yeah that's
it. Yeah, that's it. The same response after a fail. Yeah,
that's it. I like, but the guy doesn't know the rules.
This guy calls a letter before he spins. Okay, yeah, there is
a k pick up that prize six thousand dollars CASHMA friends with bankruet yea that
goes down there. Plus you have five hundred dollars cash. What do you
want to do? I would like to call a n Well, you need
to If you're going to do that, you need to spin first. Oh,
we have rules here and uh and we had to ask you spind and
we have to hold you to the end and of as you realized that and
had been called. So all that was what we call your moot point.
Is that right? That's entertaining, like a job, waste time. I
was entertaining. I go one more. This is one. It turns out
that the contestants gay and he didn't know it. California a post production.
Yeah, yeah, so you engaged. Some woman has agreed to marry you.
Some gentlemen wrong again, but he cracked himself up. Wrong again.
Oh man, again, some woman has agreed to marry you. Some gentlemen
wrong again, need to marry you? Some gentlemen wrong again? But I
had a fifty fifty. Okay, it's all right, and I messed up.
Well, yeah, you like to gamble. You like the Gamble'll get
us out of it, like the gamble. Have one more it is?
That sounds crazy? Okay, you don't have a noop enough for n You
know I have a yeah, you know anupama right, sure, everyone does,
but we all like hearing it is pretty great. I have it's right
here, and it's coming to you from place special in my heart. Yeah.
Drop box, Well it's not droppings. This is the problem with working
off a hard drive, which I prefer, but it creates times like these.
Hold on, it's almost there. I'm almost there. On Jeopardy.
She was a big fan of the Colorado Rockies. I don't have the full
one. I've just got the drops. Screw off birthdays right now, let's
do birthdays. We had time for it. Sorry, I forgot about birthdays.

of my games growing up. Sportsman. Yes. Jerry Elliott, oh really,
yes, he owns four hundred bars in restaurants, does yeah, And
I think we've done remotes at all of them, him and his brother Brian.
Imagine that you start a bar and wherever their first one was, it
was a harder bar on Lower Greenville Green way back in the day, and
then you figure out, you learn from mistakes, whatever, and you just
start opening up more bars while moving north with the migration of humanity to North
Texas. Like I'm they're geniuses, right, but also but also just born
at the right time, like lucky with what they were good at and the
amount of people coming here the Midas touch yeah, and they just have these
British pubs and they go to Addison and then they go to Plane Oh,
and they keep kind of moving north with the people and crushing it with all
these damn bars. Most recently we've done some remotes at the Shacks at Austin
ran. Yes, so there's that John Krasinski forty four. Damn he's young.
Does anyone have this? Oh? Yeah, of course, Jim's taking

Beatles documentary. Get back, Well, I have to finish this. I

Watch the Beatles documentary for a payoff for him if he loses something. In
