I don't know what, like, do I just write my signature or I say, you know, thank you, and I drew some, you know, like, draw a picture. Yeah, it's like a yearbook, you know, like, hags. Oh, yeah, yeah, have a neat summer. So, so I have no idea. So, you know what? I'm just going to have fun with the, not knowing how to sign books. Yeah, yeah.

I'm just going to keep drawing my stupid pictures and yeah. I like it. You're kind of just doing like automatic writing. You're just winging it as you go. Well, speaking of signing books, The other big news that we have is we're going to be hosting a little get-together, a live book signing, a party. Holiday party. And you guys are all invited.

Bring another book. Yeah, we'll sign like a Neil deGrasse Tyson book if that's all you have. Right, right. Hags, Karen. Yeah. Awesome. Well, there's a little bit of news that I shared it with Karen. I know at least Karen saw it as excited.

This is good news. This is good news. Yale University, a university of some renown. You may have heard of it in your home state, Chris, of Connecticut. They, their mascot for their college sports teams. I mean, principally their football team, but is the Bulldogs. And in particular, they have a. A bulldog.

Alive. A live, actual, physical, real breathing bulldog named Hansom Dan. Handsome Dan. It's very cute. Yeah. He's ugly cute because he's a bulldog. This isn't the first handsome Dan in the news recently. No, in the news recently is the 18th handsome Dan.

Yes. Going back to a good number of years. So, yeah, sadly, I believe Anson Dan 17 passed away in August, I think, not too long ago. And so, you know, they don't want to have a power vacuum for too long. So, yeah, they really... They didn't want, like, attractive Janus. Yeah, right. There's a chihuahua stage as a palace coup.

Right. The vice dog. Yeah. Becomes dog. Dog, dog. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And, um...

So there's a new handsome Dan, and he is super cute. Because it's a puppy. Yeah. He's a puppy. The important thing about this handsome Dan is that it is a different breed. Oh. So this is a good trivia tidbit. So traditionally, the Yale, handsome Dan, is an English, has been an English bulldog.

Okay. This handsome Dan is the first time they're going with another breed. Oh. And the official name of this breed is old English bulldog, spelled in an old-timey way. Oh, nice. So it's old, like the malt liquor. Old with an E, Bulldog, B-U-L-L-L-D. D-O-G-G-E

Bulldog-y. Old English bulldog. Kind of a more of a current-ish breed. And it's basically a mix of English bulldog and American bulldog and maybe a pit and maybe Staffordshire. Like, it's a mix,

a melange of bulldogs. And the reason why is because English bulldogs are not very athletic. I don't, I don't, I don't, just to be clear, I don't think plays on the football team. Yeah, okay.

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog. It's like earbud. Yeah. They have a shortish lifespan and they have a bunch of health problems. And so this year, they went with the old English bulldog. So they're hoping that maybe the reign of Hanson Day and the 18th might be a little longer. Yeah. And also just like on the statement of like bulldog health.

Okay. And, you know, instead of having like a squishy cute kind of fat thing, have like a sprightly more of a lean yeah it has the same kind of bulldog face but the body is does look a little bit more athletic he's so cute i mean the photo i saw on the new haven register site you know they had him sitting next to a football helmet and the helmet is bigger it is like the same size as the dog he's so little well i hope he likes football yeah the big game for them is the harvard yale football game and um unfortunately the new handsome band couldn't attend because he We had to go to puppy school.

Oh, puppy school. So old English bulldoggy. That is a good one. Yeah. That's good. Well, without any further ado, I think it's time to jump into our first general trivia segment, Pop Quiz, Hot Shot. Oh, I take away my job.

I choke. All right. Well, today's episode is 192. Road to 200. Slow road. But we're moving. Ambal and a lot of this road to 200. It's an endurance run.

And, yeah, we have, wow. eight more episodes until episode 200. That's pretty crazy. Wow. And we could only do it as a team, Karen. Oh, speaking of which, since we are all here, all four of us are here recording today, we haven't done an episode on teams and teamwork and cooperation. So this week, teamwork makes the dream work. One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.

Come together. Right on over me. So I think in the same way that running, like a foot race, just running, is the most basic, elemental individual sport. You know, just for me. Like, it's just, it's, there's no equipment, just basic. I was trying to think, like, what's the most basic element? team sport and for me I settled on tug of war you know just I mean you know it's it's a sport

it's a legitimate sport it was it was in the Olympics you know for what it was in the Olympics from 1900 to 1920 yep there was Olympic tug of war it's it's fantastic there's some some great photos online then they invented the basketball yeah they're like this is long more yeah I got I don't know how good it was as a spectator event probably pretty Great. Yeah. It's like beach volleyball. You just kind of go back to. Is there a pit of jello that you would fall into?

Well, not in 1920. No. I mean, you know. It was just Aspec. Yeah. It was only one. It was just lard during wartime. Yeah.

All you need is a rope and any amount of people and you can get some tug of war going. You know, you can, then it's up to you to decide how you want to balance the teams out. It's very old. Not surprisingly. The ancient Greeks had it. The ancient Egyptians had it. The ancient Chinese had it. Really?

I mean, yeah, if you had some ancients, they had tug-a-war. You can invent this game accidentally. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. It is a good way, actually, to keep soldiers and sailors fit. And, you know, a lot of the real sort of the rich tradition of tug-at-war comes from armies and aboard ships and stuff. You know, it kind of builds camaraderie. I don't know if it's the kind of thing that they allow in schools today.

But I definitely remember Like some tug-of-war as a kid When I was, yeah I think the reason Probably don't have it today Is just because of injuries You know, I mean, I remember stint knees and things like that Yeah, but that's nothing compared to Red Rover

Oh yeah Do you remember playing Red Rover? Yeah Also, no longer allowed, I think in most Like that hurts so much more You literally just clothes line It was just an excuse to hit other people Not even hit

That's the best case scenario is close line. Like ram into people's wrists as hard as you can. You'd occasionally have the kid who'd be like, oh, I'm going to go lowball on. I mean, like, you know, put the head down. It's like, oh, man, like, that's just asking for all kinds of trouble. Yeah, the head first on Red Rover. Well, the injury is actually, it's a good segue here. What would you guys guess?

What would you guys guess is the cause of the most serious. accidents and injuries in tug-of-war, just in general. Abration, rope-abrasion, yeah, on your hands. Falling on each other, like pile-ups. Falling on each other? Okay, okay. What if I told you guys that the injuries were a lot more serious

than rope burns and abrasions? Yeah, what what if I told you that tug-of-war can result in grisly, gruesome amputations? Oh. And even death. They wrap it around their body part. the most dangerous part of tug of war is the rope snapping because when you get a rope under strain and stress and stretching with you know tens maybe dozens of people pulling and it snaps

the amount of energy stored up in that rope can literally sever fingers cut off arms kill people Wait, I don't get the mechanic, so it's under stress, it's being pulled. There's tons of energy in it. And then when it suddenly snaps and the energy comes out, it's like a whip, it just recoils. And everybody's holding it and everybody gets a little piece of the recoil. And there's so much that it can go through everybody. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, and it's, unless you know what you're doing, unless you really know what you're doing and are able to calculate how strong the rope is relative to the number of people you have, you can set yourself up with some really serious injuries. And, you know, it's kind of ironic. Up to a certain point, a stronger rope actually presents more danger than a weaker rope because it's just going to get more energy in it before it snaps. I like how it's like this episode, hey, we're talking about teamwork. Guess what, guys.

You should know, like, good job, Ray is going to lead you one of a few ways. Yeah. Poop, animals, or, you know, dismemberment. Grizzly, yeah. I saw a photo, I saw a photo on Snopes of what. But this sort of the debunking and fact-verifying website, a photo of like, hey, is this real? And it is a very grisly photo of a guy on the ground and a severed arm laying next to him. And, you know, is this true?

Did this guy really lose his arm playing tug-of-war? And it is, in fact, true. It is real. I'm not encouraging you to go seek it out, but you can go find it if you want to. Karen, this event actually happened in Taiwan in 1997. there were 1,600 people in like a mass tug of war. And, you know, mass tug of wars are actually fairly common, particularly in Asia, it seems like. I don't know, Chris, if you ever witnessed any, but I guess they're big in Japan as well.

They had just, again, too much strain on the rope, and it snapped. And originally, you know, they thought it was reported as like, oh, it was wrapped around someone's arm and just popped it off. But no, it turned out it actually was the force of it recoiling severed this guy's arm. It was horrible, horrible. There was another incident, again, in 1995. Two Boy Scouts died. They were doing a giant tug of war. It seems to be the common thread, no pun intended, really.

The common thread in these tug-of-war tragedies is large-scale. Huge numbers of people. They said it was a nylon rope about the thickness of your thumb. and when it snapped and whipped back, it hit a Boy Scout. It just struck him just so hard. Stop his heart. Just killed him. Yeah.

It just killed him. Yeah. I mean, so my advice, frankly, is stay away from, you know, poorly organized mass tug of war demonstrations. Yeah, because even if you're a spectator, who knows where the rope's going to go. That's the thing. Yep, that's right. In organized tug of war, there are organized tug of war. There are organized tug of war.

of war pro am leagues i guess or whatever right associations yeah they have very strict rules about things like you can't you can't wrap it around your arm and things like that i mean for obvious safety reasons so oh here so i did promise i would show chris the uh photo i'm gonna show it to chris you know it looks like the scene in uh the first star wars movie uh in the cantina where uh he slices the guy's arm off with the lightsaber it looks it does it does look fake too you know what i mean like i can see why somebody would write to Snopes asking to say, is this real? Right, right, sure.

I'm never going to play Tug Award my whole life ever again. No. Oh, man. Yeah, it was a wake-up call for me, so, yeah. Maybe that's why it phased out in favor of more elaborate team sports in the Olympics. When Johan Rawl received the letter on Christmas Day 1776, he put it away to read later. Maybe he thought it was a season's greeting and wanted to save it for the fireside. But what it actually was was a warning.

delivered to the Hessian colonel, letting him know that General George Washington was crossing the Delaware and would soon attack his forces. The next day, when Rawl lost the Battle of Trenton and died from two colonial Boxing Day musket balls, the letter was found, unopened in his vest pockets. As someone with 15,000 unread emails in his inbox, I feel like there's a lesson there. Oh, well, this is the constant, a history of getting things wrong. I'm Mark Chrysler.

I'm an okay sports person. I'm not a sports nut. Colin, obviously, you are our sports MVP. You're good. You're good at sports, though.

I can recall some stuff. Yeah. And that is because I watch a lot of movies and play a lot of video games. But movies, mostly, I love me, a good inspirational sport movie. And the best thing about those sport movies are the inspirational locker room speech. Oh, yeah. Okay. So here, I have a quiz.

Oh, nice. I have clips that I kind of edited for, for, I'm going to play the clip of an inspirational locker room speech from a major sport movie. And you guys write down and tell me what movie it is. Helps when to identify the actor that will definitely help you. There will be some clues in maybe their speech that will kind of clue in the story or the circumstances and whatnot. So even if you didn't, I know Dana's looking at me like, I can only think of one locker room speech, I know. They're all from Arabud, aren't they?

Oh, just be woof, woof, woof, woo. So, uh, so here we go. I'm going to play the clip and you guys write down your answers. All right. We're giving you the movie. Yes, give me the movie. All right. Movie.

Here we go. Number one. Uh, Lord. How would be thy name? May our feet be swift. May our bats be mighty May our balls Be plentiful

Lord I It's like to thank you For that waitress in South Bend Ew Yeah All right What sport movie is this Chris you say

A League of Their Own I also said a league of their own I couldn't remember if it was a league of art or their own A league of their own. Everybody is right. Wonderful. Of course, that is Jimmy Dugan, played by Tom Hanks. America's dad.

I like how he slipped in like a weird thing at the end of his speech to this women baseball team. I'd forgotten about that, frankly. He's kind of a jerk guy. He's kind of a sleetball movie. I saw it when I was a kid and it went over my head. All right, next inspirational speech, here we go. And we came here today. remember six young men and 69 others who will not be on the field with you

today they will be watching you can bet your ass that they'll be greeting their team with every snap of that football you understand understand me how you play today from this moment on is how you will be remembered this is your opportunity to rise from these ashes and grab glory oh selling it actor is easy to yeah easy to identify but what movie is it Chris you say it's not this Rudy? I'm just like Rudy football? I think my guess is we are

Marshall Dana you're a guess I said a Matthew McConaughey vehicle about ghosts who are football players that is not that far off it is we are Marshall Colin is correct the premise of we are Marshall it's a true story based on true story it's actually very

sad so Marshall University their whole football team was on a plane and there was a plane accident and all of them died and so now they have a town and a whole university morning and now you have all these other players who are not on the team

who are not on team now becoming the Marshall team and hence there are some clues about that they were remembering and rising up from the ashes it's a very good movie, very inspirational all right next one How do we need the fun

We gotta have the fun Get down Is losing fun Is losing fun No What are you having fun for That sounded so familiar. It's short.

It's true. Again? How do we need the park? We gotta have the bump. Get out. Is losing fun? Is losing fun? No.

What are you having fun for? Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I got, I got it. So I guess it's not that happy. It's not uplifting. It's inspirational in a way, but not really good it up. All right, Chris, your answer is the Mighty Ducks. Quack, quack, quack, quack. Colin, you say.

Moneyball. That is handwriting. Well, I wrote her really fast. Oh, okay. Dana. Moneyball. It is money ball. That was Brad Pitt.

Yeah, it took me a moment to. to place his voice. Is Brad Pitt in at the end? I'm like, oh, this sounds like baseball bad. So I'm like, oh, Brad Pitt, baseball, money ball. All right. Next one. Little clue.

This is a little hard to identify the actor because his accent is really, really good. Listen to his speech and maybe you can figure out in context. Okay. Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you. you've earned here tonight one game if we played them ten times they might win nine but not this

game not tonight tonight we skate with them tonight we stay with them and we shut them down because we can tonight we are the greatest hockey team in the world what I'm writing is correct, but... I know the movie, but I'm not sure I have the title, if that makes sense. Okay. Answers up. Chris, you say, the Mighty Ducks. You should just written The Mighty Ducks.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, great. Mighty Ducks. Colin. Well, this is about the Miracle on Ice game. Was it just called Miracle? That's what I wrote.

That's your guess. Dana. So that did not sound like Emilio Estimus. At all, but I put Mighty Ducks. What else are you going to write? I was like, that's the only hockey movie. It is Miracle. Oh.

Colin is right. That was Kurt Russell. Doing his best Canadian accent. Minnesota. Oh, Minnesota. Very heavy accent there. Awesome movie. It's about the U.S. hockey game at Lake Placid and Winter Olympics.

Winning against the Soviet Union. Yeah, it's a very, very iconic sports movie. Next one. To me, being perfect, it's not about that. scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to yourself and your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down

because you told them the truth. And that truth is that you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could have done. Can you live in that moment as best you can with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart. If you can do that, gentlemen, then you're perfect. I think I know the actor. Man, what a speech.

Yeah, that one's tricky. Yeah, that one's tricky. I'm not sure I know that one. I'm taking a guess here. A hint? Sure. Big football movie. Oh, that doesn't narrow it down.

Yeah, big football. Not professional football. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Was that Billy Bob Thorne? I'm not going to say. That's what it sounded like to me.

It sounded like, yeah. All right. Chris says, remember the Titans. Yeah, it's a good one. I think it was, yeah. I put perfect, just because. Because he kept emphasizing the word perfect in his speech. Dana.

So the TV show Friday Night Lights has a similar locker room speech that they do. And so I was like, I know that there was a movie. I didn't watch it. I don't know of Billy Bob. So I put Friday Night Lights. It is Friday Night Lights. Very, very good speech. That was Billy Bob Thornton.

All right. Last one. There's a little bit a weird inspirational speech because it's weird now. Oh, weird now. You'll see what I mean. Last one. go. Quit.

You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed from brain, lung, and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. If a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life. Good luck to you, Peter.

I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever. Oh, man. What is this? It's, right, because it's Lance Armstrong and it, oh, what movie? Talking to somebody. Yeah, what movie is this? Spider-Man. Peter Parker.

Yeah. It is a sport movie. The sport is not a very, it is not a very dominant sport. As you guys write down your answers, I just want to share this one fact. I was looking over at, like, all the big sports. movies. Kevin Costner's in so many of them. He's in almost he's in a field of dreams, Bill Durham, Tin Cup, Tin Cup, Drafting. I was just like, oh my God, it's just all sport movies. All right, answers up. Chris, you said Dodgeball. I also said Dodgeball. Dana half wrote something down.

That's a good answer. Said that one about the track team? Oh, I don't know. McFarlane USA. Something like that. No, it is not. It is Dodgeball. Underdog story starring, well, I mean, that wasn't starring. That was definitely Lance Armstrong. Featuring. Yeah, featuring. And Peter was Vince Vaughn.

That was Vince Vaughn's character. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. Good job, you guys. And that's my... We did okay. I like that one. That's good.

That's good. Yeah. Great. Good job. Karen, why don't you take this paper and this Sharpie? Because I have a word game for everybody. Oh. There are many sports teams in existence.

Tell us more. Webster's defines sports team as a group of people united in one single purpose. So between the NBA and the NHL and the other various sports leagues, like the MLB, and of course the one that I would never forget, the NFL. NFL, thank you. There are many professional, you know, top of the, top-of-the-line sports teams, as it were, with four-letter names. Ooh. I have taken two each of those teams with four-letter names, just the team, not the city, not the city, but the four-letter team name. And I've anagrammed them into a word or a phrase, into an eight-letter word or phrase.

Okay. So I will give you the crazy phrase that I, which is, which are. also all excellent potential team names. Oh, I see. So it's one, so it's one giant word or phrase. One giant word or phrase. Are they the same kind of sport? No. Oh, so it's a match. They are, they are NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB teams. Okay. Just those four of only four letters each. There's only a little bit for you to work with. Do they repeat? Do you use like? They do not repeat. They do not repeat. They do not repeat. So, So, for example, if I were to, if I were to tell you that I was thinking of naming my team, the RAS jams. The jazz. Yes. And the Rams. The Jazz and the Rams.

They won't all be so easy. The Razz Jams. You can use your pen and paper to work out the anagrams. If you're at home, you may find out. I'm sitting here like, oh, jazz is going to be one of them. Yeah, it turns out, guess what jazz anagrams can do. A fat lot of nothing. Those two Zs?

I was like, I was like, I wonder what he's going to do with that. But I'm ready when it comes. I use it as the example. A lot of points in Scrabble, not a lot of room to anagram. You can't even play in and Scrabble because you need a blank letter. It's not even worth it. So anyway, you've all got pens and papers. He can work out the anagram.

So I'm just going to give you the word or phrase, and you're going to figure out what two, four letter team names. I have anagrammed into it. All right. And if you're, you could buzz in as soon as. you've figured it out, yeah. And, of course, if you're at home,

you will find it a lot easier to do anagrams if you have a pen and paper with you. But you can try to do it all in your head. Some people can do that really easily. Not me. Here we go. Your first phrase, the first sports team that I'm going to come up with is

best scum. Best scum. Wow. Karen. Cubs and Mets. It is Cubs and Mets. Chicago Cubs Dierkeye. All right.

Pad and pin. Don't put that pen away. So much writing. There is a lot of writing. So the other day at Trivia, we got a question about a team. Yes. And it was, um, what mode of transportation has a rear admiral, a stoker, and a navigator? We put down, um, um,

Steamboat. Stokey. Yeah. Because we're like, oh, and like the admiral sounds not a hole and navel. It was tandem bicycles. I thought tandem bikes were two people. We misunderstood. Like, he was saying it was you could call it this or this, I think, right? They're all the same spot.

Yeah. It's just different names for the same spot. It's the second spot? Yeah. It's the back person. Yeah, I looked it up after we got home that day. But I'm guessing that our misinterpretation, of this question has led you to crafting something similar.

Yes. So I will give you positions on a team and you tell me what team sported. That's what we thought the question was. And you know what? Collins going to win. I think Dan has found some good obscure ones. Yeah, they're obscure. They're obscure.

We'll start with an easy one. Okay. The roles are chaser, beater, and seeker. Chaser Beater Seeker Beater Like egg beater

Like egg beater? Seeker And then Seeker like Seeking Seeker Do we draw pictures? Sure Yes you get bonus points

for pictures I'm not keeping score But you get extra points If you do it You ready? Yeah All right Here we go

Chris He said Quidditch Quidditch Collin says I put hide and seek extreme What does the beater do in

Hide and seek extreme? Like the last person, the first person, I guess the first person they get found would get beaten, right? Wait, how do you play Hydency? Yeah, that's how I taught it to play. And Karen has Quidditch and she do a beautiful Harry Potter on a broom

and a golden snitch. It appears to be a tennis ball with donkey ears. Yes, that's exactly what a stitches. It's really a golden tennis ball. You finally watch the movie? Yeah, yeah. Donkey ears.

How about this? What kind of sports team has jammers, a blocker, and a pivot? Oh my God, it sounds so familiar. Jammer, blocker, pivot. I can give you guys a

hint if you want. Is it real or not? No, it's real. It's real. I guess that's your hint, no? to distinguish it from the first one All right So Chris says Basketball

Colin says roller derby And it is roller derby Wow Yes that's what it is Now I was like I watched this in a movie And I forgot what it was What about a dummy half A goal kicker and a first receiver

Dummy half first receiver this is a sport but it's not really commonly played in this country that's a hint

dummy first receiver and a kicker yep it's a dummy half a goal kicker and a first receiver okay when and down

when and down okay oh yeah I think Karen we all put we all put Australian rules football. Is it

Aussie rules football? It's rugby. But you guys are close. It's a similar shaped ball. It's a thank you. When and down.

Yeah, it's true. At trivia, when in doubt, Aussie rules football. Yeah. What about this team? They have a flyer, a base, and a back spot.

A flyer, a base, B-A-S-E. Yeah. A flyer, a base, and a back spot. I can give you another hint if you want I'm not sure but this is my best guess It's not going to get any better than this

Yeah Huh, okay All right, let's see All right I put cricket and I drew a cricket paddle It is a nice cricket battle I put volleyball Yeah I put what did I put I already forgot

I put high lie It is cheerleading Oh. And they fly. A flyer, a backspot. So I thought backspot was kind of like a umpire, like a, like a cricket umpire. Right. A catcher. My hint was going to be there's no ball involved.

So what about a bow, uh, coxswain or coxswain and a meat wagon. I just like the word meat wagon or the phrase meat wagon. A bow A coxin or a coxswain And a meat wagon All right I put rowing I put rowing

I put crew Commonly known as row You all are right Yes At first I was like oh no Come and put something else So one is at the The front one is the back, and the meat wagon are the, like, people in the middle.

They're all meat wagon. Not all of them, but, like, three of them are. They pretty much just rode both. I like that. Yeah, they're just the muscle. They just do it. That's what I figure it was, like, front back. That word is spelled like coxswain.

Coxswain. But you pronounce a coxin? Coxon. Oh, interesting. I listen to a YouTube pronunciation of it. Hopefully I can rush out, and she did it both ways. She said, coxon or coxswain. I think sometimes they just say Cox.

I don't know. Yeah, they do. Okay. All right, let's do two more. How about in this sport? The grinder, the rover, and the goaltender. Grindr, gold tender. And rover.

Rover. Goaltender. This sport also doesn't have a ball. Oh, goaltender with no. Grindr, rover, goaltender. Has no ball. has no how many sports are there with no balls

not a lot team sports grinder no ball really threw me for a loop there gold gold handing yeah I mean unless those are just

this sport only I feel like has two people though this is a common sport too huh yeah all right all right I put curling

but I feel like that's two That's only two people per team, I think. No, I think there's more than two per team. Oh, okay. Chris, you said. Hockey. I also put hockey, but I wish I had put curling. It's hockey.

Oh, is it? Oh, okay. Good old hockey. You don't consider a puck a ball, right? No, no. In fact, that was why I put hockey. It was the ball I could think of. Oh, but I like the way you're thinking on that one, Karen.

Yeah. And then this is the last one. So these team members are not on the field, so to speak. But these are the positions. They are Lollipop Man, Jack Man, and Fire Extinguisher Man. Lollipop Man, Jack Man. And Fire Extinguisher Man. When I saw Lollipop Man, I was like, yeah, this is going in 100%.

Not on the field. My mind is just not prepared for this quiz. Not on... Oh, okay, okay, okay. Is there a ball involved? No. No. Okay.

Is there a real sport? Yeah, people would be real mad if you said it wasn't a sport. That clinches my confidence in my answer that you said that. Answers up. All right. I put Ultimate Frisbee. I put auto racing. I put NASCAR car.

Yes, it's the pit crew. The F1 pit crew for NASCAR. So the lollipop man holds a sign to be like, oh, this is where we are. Yeah. that Jackman, Jack's car up and fire extinguisher man stands there with a fire extinguisher in case the car's on fire

and then the extinguishing It is true, yeah, auto racing is technically a team sport, yeah, because you have the whole crew. As Dana said, a lot of people get mad if you say it's not a sport. Oh, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I put Ultimate Frisbee. I was like, those people get real mad.

When you say it's not a sport. And I played Ultimate Frisbee. All right, woo. All right. All right. Hey. Lollipop Man. The lollipop man.

I know. Then the lollipop man comes in and sticks a little bollipop. Yeah. Dumbums. Good luck. Give it to the driver. I like how it starts off with very kind of, you know, poetic and metaphorical. And then it ends up with fire extinguisher man.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. The flame go out, man. Yeah. Yeah.
