wrapping it up. Nine quarterfinals. We have eight semi finalists, the winner
of today's faces off against Chris Hockey and Zach Howevers and the competitors today.
Let's start with the number two seed. I seated him second for a couple
of reasons. He's been on Jeopardy twice. Yeah, that's good. I
mean that kind of stuff there. He's won once, lost once. The
main reason it was just to put as many people in front of Sauce as
possible to troll him. And I thought Doe Young part of increase. It
were two that made sense. So I did it. You're gonna die alone,
don't. What's up? Man? So here's the thing. People are
like, you've been on Jeopardy. Can you be nervous for this? And
I'm like, heck, yeah, I give me nervous. Listen, Like
you lose on Jeopardy, nobody can. Nobody can give you crap forward in
front of your face. You made it to Jeopardy. Yeah he did that.
That's something that like people aren't really gonna touch I lose to this,
Like Sauce is gonna shot up to the press box and day, what's up?
Anyways? What is it about baseball writers? Like when Gleeman and Bonus
squirt off, they didn't even really care about winning. They just didn't want

Here's number six of FS. Clue number one occurs at the beginning. Clue

Clue number four. Teams are sometimes this clue number five. This is most
commonly discussed in hockey guards guards E four three first shift Gertzy out for the

have been a three point lead, but instead dog get to second point is
now with just in one at the half way point that we just caught with
that and meltdown of the guests, she said something, all right, Lavelle

do the same as a Lavelli. Here's number eight. I get my haircut

Clue number two known for proximity. Lavelle, go for it, front steps,
damn all right, Sauce is soap pump four away from one hundred bucks,
lavell out for the rest of number eight. Clue number three is often
extremely expensive. Clue number four sometimes connected to celebrities or the wealthy. Clue
number five is connected to concerts and sports. I don't clue clue number six
at a basketball game. These can be thousands of dollars. Frank, Frank
was first five or front seats were next, front row seats? No,
everybody else five four three two on Chad five four three two one nobody.
I've got it. I think I know the second part. Where do the
beautiful people sit at Target center the suite? Celebrities in a wealthy sit right
on the four clip side? Yeah? Yeah, say yeah? Where does
Mark Rosen sit next to a rod floor sea? Yeah? I'm sorry,
Charlie Swanson, alexis alta. All right. So here's the old situation with
four to go, Chat and Lavelle. You need to run the table to
tie Gurzy because he has four, but obviously you want to get on the
board. Frank, you have one dough Young Park has two, So girds
do you have a two point lead with four to go. Here's number nine.
Clue number one often given a number. Clue number two has communication systems.
Clue number three, famous one appeared in Ghostbusters in nineteen eighty four.
Clue number four connected to emergencies. Clue number five often features living quarters.
Do do fire station? Fire station is clinging right behind Gerdzy. Fire Station
puts you one behind Justin guard with three to go, we're gonna be down
to the that was big good one. All right, So Chad and Lavelle
mathematically out of the wind. But you can still get on the board and
get into next year's line. Justin you have a one point lead with three
to go. Frank, you need all three to tie Gerdzy, but otherwise
it's gonna be down to Justin and Doo. Here's number ten of FS.
Clue number one often considered bold. Clue number two could be considered unconventional.
Clue number three. This often involves taking a chance or trying something new.
Clue number four. This is an expression. Clue number five. These are
usually meant to draw attention to yourself or your personality. Do Dough for the
tie. Fashion statements, yes, fashion statements. Wow, God, he's
good. It just takes him. You just took him a couple to get
going here. Now he's tied Gerdsy for the lead with two to go.
So the situation is this, Frank, you're also mathematically out, but keep
going. Chad and Lavelle each individually need one of the last two next year's
tournament. Let's go Obs, Let's go Frank, keep playing because Gerdsy and
probably will need a little resistance. Here. We have two to go,
and we have a tie at the top Gerdsey and Doe Young Park. Here's
number eleven of FS. Clue number one includes a range of conditions. Clue
number two is an exhibition. Clue number three commonly requires a ticket. Clue
number four features acts. Clue number five these commonly travel final. Clue Clue
number six often connected to fairs or carnivals. These could have conjoined twelve.
Don't for the lead one Park takes the lead. I think Helvey and Hawk
not happy that does back in the lead. Fours. That's about to move
on, all right, So Gerdy needs this for the tie. Chad,
you need this in the next year's trying to need this, Lavelle, you
need this to get into next year's tournament. Don't need this for the win.
Gerdy needs this for the tie. I should have went to them before
this. Here is the final item number twelve of FS Clue number one.
These debuted in the nineteen seventies. Clue number two. These often technically don't
involve the first word. Clue number three. They're often used for their convenience
Clue number four. These feature gelatin. Clue number five are often found in
backpacks guards for the tie fruit snacks tie breaker. Why all right, my
kids have no nutritional value in their backpack. And I knew that sauce is
making the dollar sign singles about what was one hundred bucks? All right?
So Green and Lavelle got rosened. They are mathematically now out of next year's
tournaments. I don't think I don't think their hearts are broken. Chad looks
pretty all right. So here's the situation though. However, Sit and Hawk
are into the semi finals. They face off against whoever wins this one.
Gerdsy and Dough only three clues were remembering the tiebreakers, so they're a little
more to the point if you ring in and get it wrong, your opponent
can hear all three clues and then we'll have five seconds before they have to
answer, So be careful. This is it. Winner advances, loser goes
home. Tiebreaker Gerdsy and Doe of FS. Clue number one is now considered
extremely rare. Clue number two this involves a death really gets the tiebreaker,
get out of here. Final clue Clue number three. This features simultaneous shooting
five four, three two one. Nobody. Lavelle said, I was gonna
say funeral service. No, firing squad squad is the answer. The firing
squad shoots simultaneously. All right, So tie breaker two, same situation,
Gerzy and Dough, you get this right, you move on. You get
it wrong, You're out here, we go. Tiebreaker for everything f S
Clue number one. These are seen in the sky. Clue number two.
These are considered disc shaped guards for the wind, blind sauce gery, flying
saucer poles, the upset over Doyong Park. Yeah, I'm happy that was
that? Just that was great, dude. You got six freaking points.
Ye, look at it. Pick It's all about the initials. Are you

week. I'll be gone see you. No, I'm kidding. I'll get
here. Call in, I'll be here. Kids have school, I'll be

I think Krasinski and Doe both got five and lost in this tournament. That's
hard to do. Was there anybody else playing? Frank got one? Think
you're just mental? Man? Was a buzz Gergie was locked in? Man,
that was fantastic. Wait it go justin Thank you, Thank you for
