Speaker 1: Our next guest. He's definitely on the way up, Derek Stroop.
Speaker 2: He's not a native Colorading but he's been here like
Speaker 2: ten years and lately he's having quite the tear. He'll
Speaker 2: be opening for John Christ on the nineteenth at Paramount Theater.
Speaker 2: He's also going to be at Comedy Works Downtown on
Speaker 2: November first and second.
Speaker 1: Derek, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, hey, thank you so much for having me on.
Speaker 3: Excited to be here.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited because I love I love having fellow
Speaker 2: Southerners on the show. I don't sound like one because
Speaker 2: I spent four years in college in voice addiction training
Speaker 2: getting rid of my accent.
Speaker 1: But I am also from the Deep South.
Speaker 2: I love on your little fact sheet that it says
Speaker 2: you're from Harvest, Alabama, located in the northern part of
Speaker 2: the state, which to me indicates there's nothing even close
Speaker 2: enough to it that anyone would have ever heard of.
Speaker 1: Is that accurate?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Harvest. I mean that name is a
Speaker 3: little bit on a two on point. I mean that's
Speaker 3: like being from white people, you tall, It's very very accurate.
Speaker 4: It's it's out in the country now.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's about an How're in thirty minutes south
Speaker 3: of Nashville. It's right at the Tennessee state line, so
Speaker 3: there's not a lot around us. But we're not too
Speaker 3: far from Huntsville, Alabama either, But it is Alabama, so
Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty country.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 2: I'm I am a native of northern Florida, which is
Speaker 2: the said, the redneck part of Florida. And we call
Speaker 2: the border between Alabama and Florida Florabama. Is there a
Speaker 2: similar name for Tennessee and Alabama.
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, And there's also not an iconic bar on the
Speaker 3: state line either called you know Florabama. That's a that's
Speaker 3: a pretty special spot to us Alabamians and especially you
Speaker 3: know those in Florida too, right there in the in
Speaker 3: the redneck riviera on the Painhandle. Let me tell you
Speaker 3: I had one of my favorite parts of the country.
Speaker 3: I go to Pensacola on vacation. And if you don't
Speaker 3: know about Pensacola, that says a little bit about me.
Speaker 2: Derek, don't tell anyone, Okay, stop stops, because we see
Speaker 2: what happened.
Speaker 1: To Colorado when the word got out right.
Speaker 2: So we don't want people Pensacole is horrible. People you
Speaker 2: get each as shark, possibly a bear. You don't know
Speaker 2: what's going to happen in Pensacola, That's right, Derek. When
Speaker 2: did you decide coming from a real small town, it
Speaker 2: must have been it must have been kind of a
Speaker 2: big decision to say, you know what, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to be a farmer or I'm not going to be
Speaker 2: a pharmacist or sell state farm insurance.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go be a comedian. How did that happen?
Speaker 4: You know it?
Speaker 3: There was a few different things that lined up for
Speaker 3: it to happen. But you know, I moved to Denver
Speaker 3: when I was thirty years old, and I took the
Speaker 3: first plane I'd ever been on out here. You know,
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it, honest, I'm really from
Speaker 3: the country. But what kind of led to it is
Speaker 3: I started off in Jacksonville, Alabama. I was running a
Speaker 3: couple bars down there after college, and we had a
Speaker 3: bunch of country music singers that were up and coming
Speaker 3: that came through Riley Green, Sam Hunt, some other guys,
Speaker 3: and I was like, if I hear wagon will one
Speaker 3: more time, I'm jump in front of a car are
Speaker 3: And so I just started doing comedy about once every
Speaker 3: three months, and one thing led to another, and and.
Speaker 4: I kind of wanted to chase my dream.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to get swallowed up in New York
Speaker 3: City or LA so I chose Denver.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good choice.
Speaker 2: We're a great comedy town. I don't need to tell
Speaker 2: you that, that's for sure. One of the things that
Speaker 2: I always like to ask people is how did that
Speaker 2: conversation go with your parents when you were like, Mom, Dad,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go be a comedian.
Speaker 1: How did that work out?
Speaker 4: Well? You know, they don't.
Speaker 3: I tell people in the Deep South, they don't understand.
Speaker 3: If I would have grown up telling them I wanted
Speaker 3: to be a comedian, it would have hurt me more
Speaker 3: than it would have helped me. That's just not a
Speaker 3: profession that you dream of. So, you know, when I
Speaker 3: told my mom, she cried. When I told my dad
Speaker 3: he sighed. And those are two pretty on point responses
Speaker 3: from from Stacey and Bill. They didn't they didn't understand,
Speaker 3: but you know, they believed in me. They knew, they
Speaker 3: knew that I that I had the skills to maybe
Speaker 3: make that happen. They just didn't have the vision I had,
Speaker 3: And they didn't know that Denver was the route I
Speaker 3: needed to take.
Speaker 4: And I got luckier. You know that I ever knew.
Speaker 3: Denver's really just blessed me more than I ever could
Speaker 3: have imagined. It's such a great city for comedy, in
Speaker 3: a great city to live in. So yeah, they weren't
Speaker 3: pumped about it, but their tune has changed for sure.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess when you appear on The Tonight Show
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Fallon, it changes the dynamic just a little bit.
Speaker 2: And You've had quite the twenty twenty three You've done
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: You're opening for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: You were named the new face at the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, which I
Speaker 2: think that's probably the biggest comedy festival in the world.
Speaker 1: Is it still? I know it used to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they went bankrupt last year or this year, and.
Speaker 4: I think they're going to make a comeback, but it is.
Speaker 4: It is the.
Speaker 3: It's one of the ultimate credits that you can have
Speaker 3: a lot of people, you know, outside of the entertainment
Speaker 3: industry may.
Speaker 4: Not know the rich history of Just for Laughs, but every.
Speaker 3: Comic that you've loved that has been great at stand
Speaker 3: up or been on a sitcom or done anything in
Speaker 3: their career, more than likely.
Speaker 4: Went through jfil Is.
Speaker 3: It is a really special thing to be a part
Speaker 3: of it, an honor to be part of it. And
Speaker 3: then it led to a lot of you know, I
Speaker 3: was in Canada. I did seven different Canadian cities this summer.
Speaker 3: So it's led to a lot of a lot of
Speaker 3: great things, and it's definitely something I'm proud of.
Speaker 2: You are far too young to remember what I am
Speaker 2: about to tell you, but my audience of Gen xers
Speaker 2: will completely remember this. They used to put out VCR
Speaker 2: tapes of some of the Just for Last festival, and
Speaker 2: that is the first time I saw Stephen Wright, and
Speaker 2: that's the first time I saw Bobcat Goldthwaite, and that
Speaker 2: was the first time I saw Sam Kinnison. And so
Speaker 2: those VCR tapes, because I used to work in the
Speaker 2: video store, those were a hot commodity on the weekends.
Speaker 1: And I've come to.
Speaker 2: Realize I think people just got really drunk on the
Speaker 2: weekends and then watch them. But they were they were
Speaker 2: they were the first things gone on Friday night and
Speaker 2: they were not ever brought back rewound.
Speaker 1: And so we had to make sure that happened.
Speaker 2: But what can people expect from your comedy when they
Speaker 2: come to see you?
Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's a fun experience because it's
Speaker 3: it's a mix of a few things.
Speaker 4: You know. I get pretty worked up.
Speaker 3: I'm ranty and angry on stage, and I've got a
Speaker 3: lot of observational thoughts too, So you know, I'd like
Speaker 3: to think it's somewhere between Ron White and Bill Burr,
Speaker 3: and there's a little Sam Kennison involved, because I really
Speaker 3: do get.
Speaker 4: Unhinged every now and then.
Speaker 6: But you know, more.
Speaker 3: Importantly, I'm true to myself and there's nobody that I'm
Speaker 3: trying to be like out there. There's no point of
Speaker 3: view that I'm trying to steal from anybody. And I
Speaker 3: don't have soapboxes on stage about anything that really matters.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of victims in my act. It's
Speaker 3: just me losing my mind about a lot of things
Speaker 3: that don't really matter, you know. And it's a fun
Speaker 3: riding and a lot of people seem to enjoy it.
Speaker 3: I gaining a lot of steam out here on the road.
Speaker 3: I keep selling more and more tickets and so that's
Speaker 3: been fun to see so what are.
Speaker 1: Some of the things that grind your gear? What gets
Speaker 1: you going?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's never anything that's serious, you know, And
Speaker 3: I think that that's kind of the where I get
Speaker 3: away with being angry like I do on stage because
Speaker 3: it's never anything that matters.
Speaker 4: Like what would set me off.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Like my shirt getting caught on
Speaker 3: a door knob when I'm walking by makes me want
Speaker 3: to remove the door from the.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just talking about it.
Speaker 3: Things that don't make sense, like that when people eat
Speaker 3: trail mix and they pick out one thing at a time,
Speaker 3: when they should just reach their whole hand in there
Speaker 3: and get what they get, because that's what you if
Speaker 3: you wanted EM and M's, you should have hate a
Speaker 3: bag of M and M's.
Speaker 4: You know. It's it's small, silly things like that.
Speaker 2: Last night at dinner, I ordered a salad with my
Speaker 2: burger because I'm trying to be a reasonable person but
Speaker 2: still have a burger and can I looked at my
Speaker 2: husband after my salad arrived and I said, you know what,
Speaker 2: I could probably do a ten minute comedy show on
Speaker 2: how much I hate spring mix in salad. You know,
Speaker 2: when you get the salad and it just looks like
Speaker 2: grass clippings. Oh, and you're pretty sure they just went
Speaker 2: outside and just grabbed up some stuff out of the
Speaker 2: yard and put it in a bowl. And I'm supposed
Speaker 2: to eat it while little pieces are shooting up my
Speaker 2: nostril because it's not uniform, and it's very frustrating for me.
Speaker 1: So I get that.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, that's like, that's so relatable. I hate
Speaker 3: the spring mix. When I get a salad the same
Speaker 3: way it is, it ruins it because and a lot
Speaker 3: of times it won't tell you exactly the type of lettuce.
Speaker 3: It'll say how salad, it'll say some of the toppings
Speaker 3: that it will give you, and then it shows up and
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is not what I wanted at all.
Speaker 4: That's very relatable.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know, sometimes there's a sandspur in there.
Speaker 2: You don't know where that thing's been, You have no idea.
Speaker 2: It's honestly the worst food in restaurants right now, and
Speaker 2: we need to stop it.
Speaker 1: Okay, we just need to stop it.
Speaker 2: When you are trying to decide what you put in
Speaker 2: your act, and obviously you seem to gravitate towards the
Speaker 2: stuff that is a little bit absurd, like my dislike
Speaker 2: of spring mix.
Speaker 1: But are there any topical issues.
Speaker 2: Now that you just think to yourself, like I want
Speaker 2: to dip into that, but maybe I don't want to
Speaker 2: do politics. I mean, is there some stuff that you
Speaker 2: just feel like I kind of want to make fun,
Speaker 2: but I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I use Facebook for that, to be honest, I
Speaker 3: mean I made I mean, yeah, but I just I
Speaker 3: try to keep it not controversial. I mean, I wish
Speaker 3: George Carlin was here to clean up the mess. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean he would have some I mean, I have
Speaker 3: some George Carlin esque thoughts. Like you know, I think
Speaker 3: that if you believed that the government was making hurricanes,
Speaker 3: you should have a bumper sticker in your car telling
Speaker 3: us that you believed that, just so we know who
Speaker 3: you are, like Hank twice, if you thought they were
Speaker 3: shooting hurricanes at us, just so we know who you are.
Speaker 3: And you know, that's the type of stuff I can't
Speaker 3: talk about. It's not even political. It's mainly about people
Speaker 3: being dumb. Yeah, but you know that's a.
Speaker 1: Target rich environment.
Speaker 2: Dumb people is a very target rich environment right now
Speaker 2: because of the insaneity that is happening. You know, I've
Speaker 2: always advocated, and I've talked about this on the show.
Speaker 2: I think that we should all get one paintball every
Speaker 2: day in our cars. Like you could you imagine having
Speaker 2: a paintball gun mounted right on the front. So when
Speaker 2: somebody is an idiot you just think you just you
Speaker 2: tag them. Yeah, and then you've basically provided a service
Speaker 2: for the rest of the world.
Speaker 1: They know to look out for that idiot on the road.
Speaker 3: No, that's pretty genius. And then if they cut you off,
Speaker 3: you go. Of course, you cut me off, you idiot.
Speaker 3: You got four paintball marks of your dagam car. You're
Speaker 3: barely making it. Hall I'm probably the fifth person you've
Speaker 3: cut off, and you're just.
Speaker 2: Changing lanes to get away from him, like, and you
Speaker 2: speed past him in the coppoles, you over and you're like,
Speaker 2: did you see how many paintballs that guy had on
Speaker 2: his car?
Speaker 4: I don't want to be near that exactly.
Speaker 3: No, that's I mean, I don't hate that at all.
Speaker 3: There's several people, you know, if you eat a KitKat
Speaker 3: like a cold cut.
Speaker 4: You should be tagged by the government. We should just
Speaker 4: we'll watch you for a week or two and just
Speaker 4: see how you behave, but yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well I just went to your Facebook and I see
Speaker 2: you're engaged.
Speaker 1: Do you talk about your fiance in your act?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah I do. I mean I talk about our engagement.
Speaker 3: I talk she's from Kansas.
Speaker 4: I talk about that. I mean from a mixed marriage.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you think you grow up in the
Speaker 3: middle of nowhere, living in the South, and then you
Speaker 3: moved to Kansas and you're like, well, they lied to me.
Speaker 3: I mean these people can't even see their neighbors out here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 3: I'll tell people everybody should get a partner from Kansas.
Speaker 3: They're very easy to impress. I mean I show Alyssa
Speaker 3: a four story building, She's like, how'd they get up there?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like elevators, Alyssa, I'm gonna show you
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 1: You know, how did you meet her?
Speaker 3: I met her at work about eight years ago, back
Speaker 3: when I had a day jump.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what did you get to give up your
Speaker 1: day job?
Speaker 3: About probably four years ago. I haven't had a day
Speaker 3: job in about four and a half years.
Speaker 2: Is that kind of like a I mean, if I
Speaker 2: were a comedian, that would be kind of like one
Speaker 2: of those milestones, right, Like, what are comedian milestones?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 5: Here?
Speaker 2: Here I got to give up my day job. Here,
Speaker 2: I have a comedy special. Here I got to be
Speaker 2: on the Tonight Show. Do you have those kind of
Speaker 2: Is that a thing that exists? Because I'm very goal oriented?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's what i would do.
Speaker 3: No, those are milestones, and then you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll kick your dreams. You know, when you first get start,
Speaker 3: like the Tonight Show, jfl all those things were things
Speaker 3: I dreamed of. You know, if I could just do
Speaker 3: five minutes on Jimmy Fallon, that'd be good enough for me,
Speaker 3: you know. And then you get to those those moments
Speaker 3: and you grow that dream even more, and you know
Speaker 3: it's crazy. I would have been insane to dream of
Speaker 3: where I'm at now, you know, I'm just I feel
Speaker 3: very lucky to be to be where I'm at.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's definitely.
Speaker 3: Milestones along along the way that you're trying to hit
Speaker 3: that that that mean a lot to you and keep
Speaker 3: you pushing and and I've already hit several of them.
Speaker 2: Well. Your debut comedy album, Eating Dinner Twice, was released
Speaker 2: on Larry the Cable Guy's record label, How did you
Speaker 2: get connected with Larry?
Speaker 3: You know, Larry found me online somewhere and he reached
Speaker 3: out to his guys, reached out to my guys, and
Speaker 3: we got something set up to where we went out
Speaker 3: on the road a few times together.
Speaker 4: He felt like that we had.
Speaker 3: A similar brand of comedy, and then we ended up
Speaker 3: becoming friends and he really enjoyed my work, which felt
Speaker 3: really cool. I've always loved Larry and his stuff, and
Speaker 3: one thing led to another and he put me on
Speaker 3: his label and it only made sense.
Speaker 4: And he's pretty picky about who he puts on that label.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a bunch of names on the Good
Speaker 3: or Done label, and so to be one of the
Speaker 3: first ones to be a part of it was really
Speaker 3: cool and we knocked it out of the park.
Speaker 4: We're really proud of that album.
Speaker 2: Well, you can hear that album on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music,
Speaker 2: Amazon Music.
Speaker 1: And YouTube.
Speaker 2: But more importantly, you can see Derek performing here. He's
Speaker 2: opening up for John Christ. How did you get connected
Speaker 2: with John Chris Because I got to tell you, I
Speaker 2: bet his comedy and your comedy work really well together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fun. Me and John.
Speaker 3: We've worked together now for four years, and we're not
Speaker 3: just you know, we're not just co workers.
Speaker 4: We've become really close friends.
Speaker 3: And I was at Comedy Works and I worked with
Speaker 3: him on a Thursday night show. Wendy put me on
Speaker 3: with him and we did one show together and I
Speaker 3: got done and he was like, I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 3: Like your I like your style, I liked your material.
Speaker 3: He asked me, he said, you've ever been to a
Speaker 3: Salt Lake City And I said, no, I've never been
Speaker 3: to Salt Lake City. And he goes, well, you're about
Speaker 3: to go here in about a month and a half,
Speaker 3: so let's get your tickets and stuff. And that's really
Speaker 3: how it started. And one thing's led to another. I've
Speaker 3: probably done forty six states with John since then.
Speaker 2: So the last thing on your press sheet is that
Speaker 2: you are a waffle house enthusiast.
Speaker 1: So how do you order your hash Browns?
Speaker 3: I like him smothered, covered and capped. But let me
Speaker 3: tell you something. You being a North Florida gal, y'all
Speaker 3: got some of the best waffle houses in North Florida.
Speaker 3: They truly are. I mean, one time a guy on
Speaker 3: the radio said, where's the best waffle house you've ever been?
Speaker 3: To and this is very specific, but it's in Fort
Speaker 3: Walton Beach and it was the best one I've ever had.
Speaker 3: But Florida has killer waffle houses unlike Colorado.
Speaker 4: So I don't even.
Speaker 3: Tell people out here that I love waffle House because
Speaker 3: the people the waffle houses out here are like rehab
Speaker 3: sinners with hash browns.
Speaker 4: They're they're not the same.
Speaker 3: You know, where we're from there, we use them for everything.
Speaker 3: We go there after baptisms and when we're black out.
Speaker 3: I mean we use it for the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Well, it was my nana's favorite restaurant. Okay, so my
Speaker 2: nana and I have eaten our share plus more of
Speaker 2: waffle House. I am scattered, smothered, covered, chunk. Captain Pepper.
Speaker 2: I bring it all, everybody, just bring just put it
Speaker 2: all in the pool.
Speaker 4: Come on. This comment was brought to you by Tom's Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid to go
Speaker 2: big and go bold at waffle house.
Speaker 1: And you are right. However, here's a little pro tip.
Speaker 2: There is a town south of Denver called Parker, Colorado.
Speaker 2: It has a fantastic waffle house. Oh good, And I'm
Speaker 2: not exaggerating. Fantastic worth the drive from wherever you are.
Speaker 2: I don't even know where you are right now, where
Speaker 2: you're gonna be in Colorado, but it's worth the drive.
Speaker 2: It's the best one I've ever had outside of Florida
Speaker 2: or Atlantah. Because you're Atlanta.
Speaker 3: There are oh yeah, you trip and fall on one
Speaker 3: in Atlanta there on every corner.
Speaker 4: No, I will go there. I promise you, I'll go
Speaker 4: there in the next seventy two hours. I'm not even joking.
Speaker 2: There you go tell him I sent you, Derek. Now
Speaker 2: we are in and again. Derek is going to be
Speaker 2: performing at the Paramount on the nineteenth with John Christ
Speaker 2: and then he's going to be at the Comedy Works South,
Speaker 2: the one downtown, No Comedy Works Downtown. That's right, Comedy
Speaker 2: Works Downtown on November. I don't have an infront of
Speaker 2: eating second, first and Seconds, so you can get your
Speaker 2: tickets there. Derek's such a pleasure talking to you today,
Speaker 2: and I hope you have continued success and when you're
Speaker 2: super famous and you get your own sitcom and I
Speaker 2: call you and be like, hey, Derek, remember when I
Speaker 2: had you on my show when you were just up
Speaker 2: and coming.
Speaker 1: You won't hang up on me like all the other comedians.
Speaker 3: No, no, of course I will. All you'll have to
Speaker 3: do is bring up waffle House. I'll meet you there
Speaker 3: for a cup of jill and I will buy Hey,
Speaker 3: that's a great restaurant to buy somebody else's meal at too.
Speaker 1: By the way, seven dollars. You're in for seven bucks.
Speaker 2: Here you go, right exactly, all right, now, Derek. At
Speaker 2: the end of every show, we do this dumb thing
Speaker 2: called of the Day. And it works like this, I say,
Speaker 2: and now it's time for the most exciting segment on
Speaker 2: the radio of its kind. And then a Rod shouts
Speaker 2: this in no of the day, And now we do this.
Speaker 2: Arod gives us a dad joke. You can laugh or not.
Speaker 2: It's entirely dependent on how bad the joke is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got bad news. Uh, oh my grief counselor died.
Speaker 5: Oh no, you were so good. I didn't even care.
Speaker 4: And that's that's not bad. That's not like laugh out loud,
Speaker 4: funny man, that's decent.
Speaker 2: A chuckle, that's a chuckle worthy, Okay. And now he
Speaker 2: gives us a word of the day, which we try
Speaker 2: to guess the definition of.
Speaker 1: Usually badly it.
Speaker 5: Is a verb and it is this buttologize, buttologize.
Speaker 6: What but theologize?
Speaker 2: B A T T O B A T T t.
Speaker 6: O logize l O G I Z E batologize.
Speaker 1: Batologize a verb.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, it's when you make everything an argument. Okay,
Speaker 2: I like everything in argument, But dang it, Derek.
Speaker 3: Oh Man, buttologize buttologize. I mean you you definitely feel
Speaker 3: there's some apologize in there.
Speaker 4: Buttologize.
Speaker 5: You would want to apologize if you batologize, if you apologize?
Speaker 3: Uh, is that why you say sorry? Why you belittle someone?
Speaker 1: Apology?
Speaker 6: I love that?
Speaker 5: But no, it is to repeat excessively, like a word
Speaker 5: or a phrase or a mannerism, over and over and
Speaker 5: over right right.
Speaker 6: Right, yes, yes, batologize.
Speaker 2: Okay, what are knock? Now we have a trivia question, Derek,
Speaker 2: what are nock de? Lucent clouds? Knock to lucent clouds?
Speaker 6: N O C T I L see through them?
Speaker 1: I think you see him at night?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, t nighttime clouds.
Speaker 1: And when we made witch Is flying through we made
Speaker 1: a good effort, but we are totally wrong.
Speaker 2: Clouds made of ice crystals, not water droplets like regular
Speaker 2: crowd clouds that have formed around tiny dust particles and
Speaker 2: cold temperatures. These beautiful clouds can be witnessed at high
Speaker 2: latitude regions north and south of the equator.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the thing you're gonna forget right.
Speaker 2: That is now, Derek. Here's what we do here. We
Speaker 2: do Jeopardy. Category. You have to shout out your name
Speaker 2: if you want to answer the question, just go Derek,
Speaker 2: and then a rat will say answer it, and you
Speaker 2: answer it in the form of a question, just like Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 6: I'm ready and Derek.
Speaker 5: So, Mandy, you also are at a disadvantage and have
Speaker 5: to wait for the word go Derek. So when he
Speaker 5: gives the question, you can interrupt me any time and
Speaker 5: say your name.
Speaker 1: You can answer anytime if you know the answer.
Speaker 6: No more of the clue. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 6: Category is three letter words?
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, First up, an actor takes one during his
Speaker 5: curtain call, go.
Speaker 1: Mandy, what is about that is correct?
