This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
The volume.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning and welcome to the inaugural 2025, Rory and Mall, Patreon spelling B. Palooza.
Let's meet our contestants.
She's your boo from Syracuse.
Give it up for Baby Dee.
Do your man on the right.
He's a proud boy, but old, he only eats soy.
Give it up for mall.
And lastly, everyone is shocked he made it this far by entering the competition.
I wish he can read, but he can't.
Give it up for I read poorly Rory.
He stinks.
Who that man?
I'm rooting for the underdog.
So when the underdog.
The way underdog.
The way underdory.
When he started that, that music, I had the card up.
And I thought that was pre-recorded.
And then I looked up and it was peeve on the mic.
I read poorly Rory as fucking.
I read poorly Rory.
That's going to stick.
We have to get chat GBT away from P.
Oh, man.
I mean, in Rory's chat G.P.T.
It's a P, not a B.
Oh, that's fine.
He don't know how to spell GBT.
He can't even spell GPT.
You know.
Please.
Yesterday.
Oh, no, on Monday.
On Monday, I asked Kea if she could get me an espresso, and she said, oh, what?
I said, that's what it's called, right?
No.
No. It's espresso.
Expresso.
I just started drinking coffee, man.
My whole life, I thought it was espresso.
Oh, my God.
Because you drink it and express.
No, you don't.
No, you're not faster.
Nobody runs faster than you drink espresso.
It's like the express drink.
No, it does not work with that way.
More jittery.
I don't know.
That's fine.
I welcome all the hate.
Yes, this is going to be a great, great spelling bee.
Thank you, everybody for tuning in.
You know who else?
They hated on and counted out.
Who's that?
Jesus Christ.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
And you were made in his likeness.
That is true.
I get it.
Roy of Nazareth.
Yes.
What's up, baby D?
You ready?
Yeah.
You locked in low.
You got your lap.
See, I don't know.
I don't like the fuck that baby D got the lap.
Yeah, but still you might have a tab or something.
I can't really.
You may be screen mirroring, but I have another.
What's you doing?
And you got your hair down over your left earlo.
You got an airpiece in there.
What's up with you, yo?
Who's feeding her?
Who's feeding her?
She got her sister on FaceTime somewhere on the phone.
I was just looking shit up.
I'd be fucked up.
I would be fucked.
All right.
With who wants to be a millionaire?
They still do that show, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Phone a friend?
How they, like, phone a friend.
They have to have Google open, right?
No.
I think they tell you because somebody I know was on there
And they tell you to stay, you're supposed to be by your phone, phone clear through this window of time.
And if it rings, you just answer it.
No, I know.
But why couldn't I have my laptop with me?
To Google something real quick.
No, no, they have somebody like, I think with you, like somebody from the show.
They used to send, like, Regis's goons.
No, you know, those networks have people that they could fly out and make sure that the phone is connected.
The connection is clear.
All of that type of shit.
I think it's funny.
You know someone that was on who wants to be a millionaire.
Yeah.
Just let that slide.
Yeah.
How far did they make it?
It would probably be cheaper just to fly the friend out to the show
and sit them in the green room with a gun to their head
and say, y'all, don't fucking Google shit.
Give the answer.
I was watching Family Feud the other day
and Vaughn was on there with Neo.
I was fucking crying, man.
It was like, Von.
It was Neo versus Meg.
That shit happened.
That whole episode had me crying laughing.
Like, Family Feud is nothing but like just comedy for Steve Harvey at this one.
And shout out to Vaughn, a friend of the show.
What questions did they ask Vaughn?
Now I have to go watch this.
Oh, you know, you got a while.
I can't remember.
I was just laughing.
And the fact that him and Neo was on family feud, I was like, what are y'all doing?
I hope they asked Neo, like, traditional marriage topics and monogamy.
No, they don't want to get it.
It's not on that network.
They would have to cut those cameras off and came to that with me.
Steve believes that.
Thank you, Peach.
No, that's our live audience.
That's not, Peach.
Thousands of people sitting back there.
I'm going to ask a stupid question.
I don't really know the rules of a spelling bee.
Well, you can't use your phone.
Well, I know that.
You have to spell the word.
And if you have trouble trying to like spell it, before you begin to spell it,
you can ask for it to be used in a sentence.
I know it's LOLs to make fun of me of not being able to spell.
I don't think you guys are that greatest spellers either.
So we can't do, we can't do elimination.
I think it would be okay.
That's be like a point system.
Yeah, we're all out in the first.
Yeah, we're going to do a point system.
It's a point system?
Yeah, everyone's going to say every round.
If he can't spell something and I can, he should be.
Oh, like God.
The competition's going to be like two minutes long.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
So we have to kind of like, all yeah, we'll do a point system then.
I'm with that.
So I think we're all going to get our own, we're all going to get our own words
because if we all, obviously, if we all attempt to spell the same words, you know.
So hopefully PG give you guys easy words.
Why do you keep saying y'all, like you're just going to smoke through this?
Every competition we have, I smoke y'all in every single.
That's not true.
Okay.
You have Juan Ye is the best.
He picked Juan Ye.
Not me.
Oh, no, that you yours.
Who was yours?
Spell Juanier.
You spell.
it.
You can't spell
W-A.
Roy, don't try to spell it wrong on purpose.
Okay.
Yeah, you got it right.
I just got it right.
All right. All right. One point for me.
That wasn't on the list, but
I get it. All right,
Peach. We got these
the people send. Yeah, a lot of
people submitted Twitter community,
Patreon community.
All right. And you are allowed to
ask the judges who is
Pige, you are allowed to ask for a word to be pronounced again, only one more time, and you can
ask for it to be a definition, like, ask for the definition of the word or to be used in a
sentence.
These are mostly normal words.
Okay.
And we're confident that Pige is going to know how to pronounce them correctly.
Or it may help us because he'll sound it out.
He's from Kansas City, so it's kind of like, their little twang on the end of words.
It's kind of like.
Did you set them up?
He talks like technology.
Like in order for like for them to go from easy to hard?
No.
No?
No, okay.
Let's do a music category to start it off.
Okay.
I'm with that.
Who's going first?
Rory.
Is it Swifty?
Let's go.
Rory.
Remember the kid in the spelling bee?
We're not allowed.
I'm sure they'll cancel us.
I'm sure you've got some special needs.
Yeah.
P's just going to have a ball with this.
Are we ready?
Your word is rhythm.
Well, I don't have much of that.
Can you use it in a sentence, please?
Rory does not have rhythm
Country of origin, please
Atlanta
That makes sense
Motown
Yeah, Motown
Rhythm
I could write out rhythm
But trying to do it
Raw Dog
Like off your head
Yeah
Is way tougher than
Because I'm trying to like
Picture the word
I'm trying to picture rhythm
R-H-T-H-Y
M
R-H-M
Hmm
Hmm
R-H-H-Y
No, you don't get to steal a word.
You don't, no, you don't get to try twice.
It doesn't work like that.
We'll be here all fucking day with you.
You lost.
Maul, would you like to steal?
Yeah, this was, I thought that was a practice.
I would like to steal.
Okay.
Wait, we can steal words?
Yeah.
Why not?
Rhythm?
R-H-Y-T-H-M.
He probably was going to spell it the way I was,
but saw that it was wrong and then flipped it.
That's why stealing a word isn't fair, man.
I was never going to spell it.
He just spelled that.
I was never going to put that T where you put it.
What you said?
I spelled it like I had a list.
He said RYT?
Yo.
I definitely.
I definitely, I spelled it like Vives Cartels.
Ritum.
And I think I added too much of a T.H.
In there, like the girl from a 3LW.
See?
Promises, promises.
Like I got to sound.
You still said it right.
He didn't all those Caribbean women.
He said Ritum.
Yo.
Big tune.
Big tune.
Big tune.
All right, Ma, you ready for yours?
Okay, so I got one point, right?
Big up your side, cool.
Yeah, I'm going to keep going.
Big up.
Big up yourself.
All right, Ma, you might get tripped up on this one.
Okay.
Cipher.
Cipher?
Wait, so he gets two?
Well, I stole yours and now this is my word.
That's not how they do it on Discovery Channel.
Well, they also eliminate on a Discovery Channel.
All right, fine.
Yeah, so you want to go home?
Yes, if that's all it'll take.
All right.
Cipher.
Can you use it in a sentence, please?
Rory was in a Cipher with Kendrae.
What's fucked up is I would have easily gotten this one.
But, well, I'll let him go.
All right, Cipher, C-Y-P.
I knew this was going to happen.
It's a debate because that's not really how you spell it.
So C-F-A-S-E-R-L-E-R-R-E-R-E-R-E.
So C-I-P-H-R?
Oh, no, I thought you didn't get a second shot.
That's-
But Demandis only does that with me.
How are we spell this?
Cypher, can I steal it?
Is it the hip-hop.
C-I-P-H-E-R, Cipher, one point for R.
What?
Got my point back, all tied up.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, DeG-R was making fun of me.
No, no, it's on Google.
C-Y-P-H-E-R.
A performance by a group of artists, Cipher.
Yeah, I spelled it right, bro.
You never asked for the definite?
You did.
You did.
He said Rory was in a cipher with Tech 9.
Okay, I'll get myself one of these.
I spelled that right.
You spoke it right, yeah.
You can spell it both ways.
I know, but there's also words on Google that aren't real, but there are words that we say.
Is that actually in the dictionary?
Meriam Dictionaryam.
Yes.
Fuck.
I'm not doing this for Rory.
Where's Mariam at?
Oh, my.
I don't see it.
Where's you from?
C-Y-P-H-R or C-I.
C-F-E-R-C-E-R-C-E-F-E-S.
C-F-F-E-F-E-E-F-E-E-S.
is a slang word.
This isn't a slang spelling bee.
You know what else is a slang word
and it's often in the dictionary?
Ain't.
I'm looking now that it's not in the dictionary.
I mean, I spelled it right both ways.
C-I-P-H-R.
It's in the Oxford Dictionary.
However you want me to spell it.
However you want me to spell it right.
No, that's not fair.
He gets Cipher.
Cipher is fine.
Cool.
Y'all tried to trip me up, man.
I'm the judge.
This is how this is how.
First of all, PJ-R, and he had the word
and how it was spelled with C-I-P-H-R.
But the way he used.
used it in a sentence was I spelled that right.
Yeah.
You were not in a C-I-P-H-E-R with fucking Kendrick Lamar.
You were in a cipher with Kendrick Lamar.
He spread the L.
Technicality, he said.
Take the L.
I didn't, it wasn't my word.
What hell am I taking?
All right, two for me, none for you.
Loser.
I was going on.
What are you doing?
I think like 5.5?
Oh, man, it was baby D-ter.
Yeah, P,'s what is it?
What you're doing?
We should score by how many letters you get right.
To round out the music category.
Entandra.
Hmm.
That's going to kick her ass.
Spell it.
E-N-T-E-N-D-R-E.
Okay.
Good job.
And see, here's the thing.
That's why I do respect Ameris.
I would have thrown a fucking fit
because entendre's way harder than cipher and rhythm.
Like, rhythm's impossible to spell.
I wouldn't get, I wouldn't miss that.
Yeah, I was going to put an end at the end of rhythm.
I ain't going to lie.
It's a tough word.
Rhythm.
All right.
Before we need a second round, what are some words for you guys that are very simple that you still can't spell?
Schedule kicks my ass.
Hey, hey, we'll get to it.
Oh, schedule is on the bill.
It will be.
It might be.
It might be.
Schedule.
I just put SCD and just continue all of my day.
I'm not trying to spell schedule.
When I was.
I was a kid and I was in Spelling Bees and I was actually really good at Spelling Bees probably used to whip my ass and I don't understand why.
Probably was tough.
Probably used to woo my ass.
Probably.
Probably.
Probably. I'll probably be there.
Probably not.
I'll probably be there.
Probably not.
You guys want to go politics?
Oh man.
Oh, God.
I'm cleaning up.
I'm cleaning up.
Right now the score is one me to mall zero for Rory.
Because he stole one.
Because I stole one.
Because I stole Rory's.
I took Rory's just spelled it right.
And all right with the stealing thing, whoever says it first.
It's not like an order.
you can only steal from the person next from the person to your that's all right man to be the first
person that says i want to steal to you know when they say look to you know in church when they say look to
your neighbor you are my neighbor so i can steal from my neighbor i can steal from all i can steal from
i've been to baptist catholic non-denomination that's never happened once they say look at your neighbor
and say thank you neighbor i love you neighbor peace be with you neighbor yeah they never said take from
your neighbor i hate it that's actually in the command
Peace be with you and then also with, I hated the and also with you.
I don't, I don't want to shake my neighbor's hand.
I don't want to do that.
They changed the translation sort of recently.
It's not peace be with you and also with you.
It's, I forgot what it was.
They changed it though in Catholicism.
You don't say that.
Wow.
With the rest of us.
Changing God's words.
It's crazy.
New translations.
Translators couldn't spell.
Yeah.
Neither can transgender.
You ready, Pete?
You ready, Pete?
Who's up first?
Rory.
Roy, your word is

to fix it in the middle of me typing it.
They got spell check.

N-I-N-A-U-E
Oh, Lord, Jesus.
I-N-A-U-G
U-A-R-A

Yep.
N-I-N-A-U-G.
No, it's over.
Maybe D, you want to go for the trip to do?
I-N-A-U-R-A-T-I-I-O-N.
Hold up, but where did I get it wrong at?
You said G-U-A.
It's just G-U-R.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, my bad.
That's for me.
I was close.
You were not even fucking...
I and O.
The O sent me.
The O's...
In inauguration.
In A.
The O fucking sent me.
Oh, yeah, it's on mall
because it was for the steel.
Okay.
Your word is.
Also, one of...
Like I mentioned in the rules, rules earlier, you cannot go I in, I in, uh, I in, uh,
I in, they do that in the spelling. Yes, they do. Until I, I could do whatever I want until I
want until I finish the word. You can't, if you already say the letter, you can't go back and
change it. Yes, you can. No, you can. Yes, you can. You can't change it. You can't go I in a,
I mean, I in, oh, it don't work like that. Oh, no, I agree there. Why not? As soon as you get it
wrong, I'm giving you the, yeah, yeah. They don't do that in the spelling B.
and the spelling B you only get it wrong
if that's like you finish trying to spell it
and like you can't go
you gotta say it you gotta spell it then say it
and then like that was wrong I-N-O
never mind I-N-A
no way we're doing it
you can't do that
you could have
they don't do that in spelling me either
you can't go back and you tripping man
because you got to spell a word
say it
and then once you say it after you spelled it
and if it's wrong that's it
you can be like I-N-O
you can try that but I'm gonna give you
I-N-A
you can try that
Try it over here, buddy.
Do whatever you want, but it's all Mall, right?
All right.
All right, mall's turn.
Maul, your word is
constituent.
Constituent?
Constituent.
Constituent. I never got that.
C-O-N-S-T-I-T-U-E-N-T.
Good job.
Because you're so patriotic.
All right, P's.
Let me add them.
What we doing?
Your word is
Philibuster.
F-I-L-I-B-U-S-T-E-R.
Hell no.
She spelled Philip.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Stop looking at the computer.
Look,
she's cheating.
She's cheated.
She's cheated.
F-I-L-I-B-U-S-T-E-R is not filibuster.
That's not what you spelled.
What is it?
Spell it then.
No, I want to steal it.
Oh, go ahead.
Still it.
What's funny,
everything got a story.
This, that speech from this album,
every fucking answer.
Every time.
F-I-L.
I grab that while we wait.
Filibuster.
Yeah.
I forgot already where she was wrong.
Was it at the two L's?
Never mind what she was wrong.
If you miss a steel, you go down on point, too.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
That's not, no.
You guys are just making shit up as we go.
Because then you got caught stealing.
This is designed for me to loot.
Like, I'm calling bullshit on it.
And in the middle of my spell.
If you try to steal.
In the middle of my spell, you say that.
If you try to steal and you don't, you get it wrong.
You can't make up rules in the bottom of the second.
That's in the rules.
That's in the rules.
No one said that.
It's valid.
That's in the rule.
Wait, has anyone missed a steal yet?
Not yet, no.
Let's go back to the tape.
I don't know about that.
All right.
F-I-L-L.
What's funny is I would
if I had that word first,
I would have spelled it with a pH.
I only did F because she got F right.
I would have been like, ooh, I know this rule.
P-H makes an F sound.
It's got to be spelled like Phil.
Do you want to steal?
Why, you want to go for the double steel?
Filibuster?
No, I don't want to steal.
Okay.
Can we get the correct spelling?
Philibuster
F-I-L-I-B-U-S-T-E-R
I had too many else
Yeah
What other categories do you have, Pish?
I think one round per category
We can do the Taylor round
What's the Taylor round?
Taylor Swift round
No, Taylor
Our friend
Oh, oh Taylor
Oh, this is the freaky round
Yeah
You ready?
Look at Damaris shook
Wait, what round is this?
The Taylor round.
You know it's a friend of the show Taylor?
Oh, she sent these words?
Yeah. Okay.
I can spell dildo.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
All right, the Taylor round.
This will redeem me.
Your word is conalingis.
Hmm.
How do you pass?
New word.
Using a sentence, please.
ABD and Taylor
have yet to engage in
Nguyen.
Have yet.
I hate you.
So much.
It means eating pussy, by the way.
Yeah.
I'm aware of what the definition is.
With the origin?
Like, I know definitions.
Like, I got that on my, but...
It's French.
Um,
so there's a rap group I liked
named Cunningallus.
I just don't think they spelled it correctly.
Like, if I got fab...
If I got fabulous, I'd spell it like fab.
Yeah, that's going to be your basis of, like,
reference, yeah.
Got you.
C-U-N-U-N.
No, wrong.
Fuck.
You're not the judge, Damaris.
Okay, I know how to spell Conellinguish.
Oh, shit.
You can't steal that one.
Mall can steal it.
Oh, I get to steal?
Yeah.
If you choose, if you miss it, you go down a point.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I'm at 3-2, Damaris.
I'm at negative one, right?
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'll come back.
I'll pass the DeMaris.
Two steals and a dove, and I'm right back in the game.
C-U-N-N-I.
I
L-I-N-G-U-S
That's how
A freak knows how to spell that
That's not
That's how I was gonna spell it
But I was like an English maker
I didn't want to lose a point though
Who was going around
Spelling that word?
That's some freaky shit
Yeah
What's so?
What's up?
All right, we're on Mo.
Maul, your word
Privilege
Privilege?
Wait, I get
All right.
Rory, I know
You can't spell privilege either.
Then
Spell it wrong.
Pass on your steal and I'll steal it.
Privilege.
I'm probably going to spell privilege.
It ends up in my mentions enough.
I should know how to spell it.
P-R-I-V-E-L-L-R-I-V-I.
Is it P-R-I-V-I-L-E-D-G-E.
I got it wrong, too?
Damn.
Roy, this is your time to shine.
I'm scared because that's how I would have spelled it.
Oh, fuck.
I know what I did wrong.
Damn.
P-R-I-
He can't still, oh yeah, he can't, go ahead.
You guys just keep changing the rules for me.
Go ahead.
P-R-I-V-I-L-E-D-G-E.
No, you spoke it the same way as me.
There's no D.
There's no D.
I'm so close.
There's no D.
He's spelled in the same way the Bears'
It's L-E-G-E.
There's no D.
I knew where I fucked up the moment I said it.
All right.
None of us get it.
It's fine.
Well, I know all you want for Christmas
and for New Year's, for that matter,
is the all-new iPhone 17 pro.
It's happening.
You've been talking about it for the entire year.
It's happening now.
It's happening now.
Christmas time.
Is that because it's designed
to be the most powerful iPhone ever?
No, that's because I don't have to worry about traffic.
They'll come to my house.
Holiday traffic at that.
There you go.

Clipper Taylor the 4th.
You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,
or my career in sports media.
Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.
And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators,
and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,
and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.
It's a space for honest conversations,
stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger.
So, if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right
what you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network
on TikTok. Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tapped Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs?
Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. I know what you're thinking.

unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill,
waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack on day, but yeah, yeah, literally. But just so y'all know.
I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.
So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS.
on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence.
Yes.
I don't think there's a more important year
for black people. Really? Yeah.
For me, it's one of the most important years for black people
in American history.

It was a good one.
I like that snake.
It is an actual Polish saying.
Yeah.
It is an actual Polish thing.
Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes.

I actually thought it was.
I got that wrong.

On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.
Very debatable.
And I was there most loyal and sometimes.
only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all,
it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most
important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the IHeart Radio app,

I'll even say this.
At the end of the day,
when people are at home,
they want entertainment.
To hear this and more,
listen to Reality with the King
on the IHard Radio app,

Baby, yeah.
She'll get this wrong,
I'll get a steal.
I'll be back in the game.
Your word is,
anchorchief.
Actually, I don't know
if I wouldn't know how to spell that.
Damn.
Can I get the origin of the word, please?
And I'm dead assed when I say that.
Yes, you can.
Because I feel like there's, I'm going to fuck this up.
So if it's like Vietnamese, you don't know.
But if it's German.
No, because if it's American, it's going to be Spanish.
English.
Yeah.
H-A-N-K-E-R-S.
Hell no.
Hell no.
Hell no.
Go ahead, Rory Steele.
How do you smoke?
I'm at negative two.
If you think I'm going to try handkerchief.
How do you?
So if I still, I get two, I get what?
You get two points, right?
No, it doesn't work like that.
No, it doesn't.
It does not work like that.
We owe Demers more points.
Exactly.
Yes, because I've stolen words.
It doesn't, when both of y'all missed, it doesn't work like that.
You get one point from it still.
Handkerchief, H-A-N-D-K-E-R-C-H-I-E-E-E-F.
Whoa.
There's a D in handkerchief?
Don't forget the D.
Wait, can you write out like on the screen?
I need to see that in person.
H-A-N-D-K-E-R-C-H-I-E-F.
Wow.
There is a D in handkerchief.
I would have never gotten that.
Damn.
Taylor's whipping y'all eyes.
All right, so mall's at what, four?
I'm at foe.
I'm at foe.
And he stole from who?
Me, right?
Yeah, so it's Rory's term.
Yeah.
All right.
Back in this game.
There's three more Taylor words if you want them.
Yeah, all right, let's do it.
Taylor, Taylor giving us a run for our money.
Rory, your word is February.
All right.
I know I have a story every time.
No.
The second word I was going to say, schedule kicks my ass.
February is the second word.
Roy, don't fuck up for my fucking ass.
I just type Feb.
F-E-B
F-A-B-O
L-O-U-S
F-A-M-E-S-A-M-A-S-A-M-F-E-B
F-E-B
R-U-R-A-R-Y
Oh, my fucking God
How far off was I?
Did I need that reaction?
Like, I was like, that far off, God damn.
It's an easy word.
It's a fucking, it's the month.
I told you it's one of those words
that kicks my ass.
We all have a easy word that we do.
Not one that we look at
every single day.
You ready?
You've been looking at the...
It's January.
I don't look at it every day.
F-E-B-R-U-A-R-Y.
Wait, didn't I say F-E-B-R-U-A-R-Y?
No.
You said R-U-R.
Yeah, R-U-R.
Oh, dear, that was me.
I actually...
I got five, baby, D.
I see, ma'all.
Rory might be at, like, negative, too.
I'm at negative two, yeah.
That's also...
because I did not know because you change the rules in the middle of the game
that you get negatives for getting negatives.
I'm not putting negatives.
I'm not putting negatives.
You have no points.
Thank you.
If we established that rule before the game,
I'd be fine with it.
But I wouldn't have tried to take those steals if that was a thing.
You got negative.
He got negative too.
No, if we,
if we established that rule,
I would not have jumped in for a steal.
Yeah.
I would have not played myself.
You need two steals right now.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I think it's a rule that would make sense,
just not in the middle of the game.
All right.
So is my goal?
Yeah.
Well, your word is restaurant.
Oh, fuck.
That's my word.
That's my word I'm going to spell wrong.
That one's tough too.
Every single time.
I know how to spell it for spell check to immediately fix it for me.
Restaurant.
R-E-S-T-A-U-R-A-N-T.
Oh, my God.
Didn't you go to singing high school?
Like, what the fucking?
Singing high school?
Didn't you go to fame?
Like, what the fuck?
I thought you just read sheet music.
Yo, I'm fucking crazy.
Taylor came up with some good ass words
because there's simple words that you will spell wrong.
Handkerchief seems like it'd be the most simple thing ever.
I would have come nowhere near that.
But I knew that there was something funky about handkerchief.
Like that's why I was like, ugh, I know it's something funky about that word.
I'm kidding you.
I got six.
You got, baby D got three.
I'm at zero.
All right.
All right.
All right.
This is the last of the Taylor round.
This one's kind of a layup, especially for Baby D.
Mm.
Sex.
Sphincter.
No way.
getting this right.
S-P-H-I-N-C-T-O-R.
Fuck.
Whoa.
There's no, Steve.
What?
Come on, shut the fuck up.
I'm just laughing.
I look at this word regularly.
Why am I spell?
What is it?
What's the fuck?
Is that like in chemistry class?
A sphincter?
Oh, man.
Sni-lil it.
S-P-T-R-S-P-E.
Oh, you want the definition?
Yeah, I don't notice.
It's the taint.
It's like the, no.
It's like the, it's like the, it's like the, it's like the, goch.
Yeah, it's like the g-oh-u-c-h.
Well, that's a gooch.
It's like the asshole.
Yeah, same shit right there.
Wait, what?
So why does Demaris look at this word every day?
Because Demaris like her ass ate.
So she says eat my sphincter?
Yeah.
No, but I know this word.
It's kind of like.
Someone point me to the best sphincter eater?
D'amara's a finger my sphincter.
Ma'amara's a finger my spinkter.
like to steal?
Wait, no.
If I'm not getting negative, I might as well try.
Yeah, you might as well try.
What did she, what letters did she even start with?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
She got far, though, right?
Peach. She got close.
She got close.
Uh, S.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Sphin.
Hey.
Okay.
Yeah, what is that?
Baby D. What was that?
I was going to go pH after that.
Okay.
I-N.
T-E-R.
Svinter
Can I take it?
Sphinctor.
Can I take it?
Oh, see, he pronounced it wrong.
This is a judge thing.
S-P-H-I
S-P-H-I-N-C-T-E-R.
That's what the fuck I said.
No, that's not what you said.
Oh, I said O-R.
Oh, I said O-R.
Yeah.
I got seven,
ABD. That's fucking crazy.
It's fine. We're going to 21.
Yeah, all right.
We knew it like 21 of taps, like we could get mall back down.
Yeah, yeah. So who was it on?
So on Roy. Now we're going to
our Discord community.
Okay.
Shout out to the Discord. It's going to be way
Shout out to the Discord community. The ops.
Wait, Maddie can't submit no words. She's a fucking
teacher, bro. I can't believe I let
Taylor. The first word is from Maddie. It is for
Rory.
specifically?
No.
Okay.
The word is, receipt.
Tell us about that one time in band camp.
I can tell you it's one of my favorite Lil Wayne songs.
That's what I'm trying to refer in my head right now.
I know there's a tricky letter in there.
You can spell no receipts if you want to.
And now!
I was hoping for the Jordan music to kick in.
REC.
I know what the tricky letter is.
letter is, I just don't know where they put it.
Mm-hmm.
R.C.
I know Hoff is dead. I don't know where they put it.
Under giant stadium.
Same shit.
Because that's where they put it.
Stupidest theory ever.
REC.
This doesn't count.
Where does that fucking P go?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I think you worry about the wrong.
Isn't that the crazy letter in receipt?
He worked on the wrong letter, bro.
Holy shit.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Mall, are you ready for your steal?
Oh.
Molly, are you ready for your steal?
I mean, he might get it right.
He won't.
Can we just debate about the car or two for a second?
Can you pull that out?
Mall claims this isn't a classic.
Roy, there's a timer on.
All right.
See, rushing.
First of all, there is no timer when they do it with the real kids.
Masters at work.
Mm-hmm.
R-E-C-P-E-I-T.
I don't know.
You didn't even try.
Because you kept rushing me.
I felt like I was letting everyone down.
He spelled respect.
R-E-F-E-E.
Oh, it was a R-E-A-R-E-A, not Wayne.
Yo.
Go ahead, Ma.
Receit, R-C-E-I-P-T.
Good God.
And then, and then DeMaris has me second-guessing that I'm thinking about the wrong,
now I was just to guess myself that P wasn't in it, when she was like,
worrying about the wrong letter. You are worried about it. You're like, where does that P go?
The P is in receipt. That's the one I'm worrying about the most. Where do you put that silent
ass letter? Receit. Who says it? Not receipt. Who says it that way? Who on earth says it that way?
But you were worried about it being after the C. Yeah, it's nowhere near the fucking C. Get the E and the
eye in the correct order. Because, which is also illegal if you go through the rules of Dimeris saying
something to second guess myself. Then I'm thinking it wasn't a P. Mm. If you either you know how to spell
the word or you know how to spell the word?
All right. It's on who, baby, Dee? I got eight.
It's on all. I got eight, baby, Dee.
Okay. Keep tracking minds. Don't cheat me.
Cheat the judge. I'm getting way harder words. Everybody, I just want that to be acknowledged.
You said you was the smartest one when it comes to spell. Yes, you did not say.
Yes, you did. I said I was the smartest one. I was better at spelling. I didn't.
That's what's the smartest. Okay. This isn't a reflection of me.
It's a reflection of how poorly put together the English languages. Yeah, that's a fact.
So this is, how that you think about it. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Taking no account.
Billabuster I fucked up on.
But that's my fault.
Go ahead.
It's Mal's turn.
All your word is from Kayla.
Kayla?
Oh, man.
Quizaciously.
Quizaciously.
Quasaciously.
I have no excuse compared to the easy words I've got.
Quisaciously.
I have no excuse.
Quasaciously.
I don't think I'll try it.
Quisaciously.
Can you use that in a sentence?
It means in a moment.
mocking manner in a mocking manner
quasiously in a mocking manner
you're quasatious a lot
quasaciously
quesaciously look at it de Maris's thinking
face
I'm gonna try it
Q UI
S A
CA
Is it C A
It doesn't get too much
Okay okay I've never used that word in my life
So on you
Are you choosing
pass.
C-U-I.
Oh, my God.
She spoke cuisine.
None of us know what the fuck are this.
Okay, that was a little too hard.
Yeah, I don't get a shot.
Oh, Rory, go ahead, yeah.
Q U-I.
Z.
A.
No, no, we're not doing that.
We're not doing that.
That the letter by letter by letter
spell the word out.
Wait, because it's like you're waiting for P-G to fucking hit you or not.
We can't do that.
Okay, all right.
I would have.
It didn't matter.
Wasn't it, was not getting that round.
Was it he was not getting that right?
That was where I was stuck.
I thought they wouldn't have put two Z's there.
Okay.
So this doesn't count, but Q-U-I-Z-Z-A-C-I-O-U-S-L-L-M-C-K-E-Y-M-C-E-M-O-U-S-E.
Wow, you would have got a right.
Damn.
I should have won my first thought of it.
I was like, there's no way they really spelled.
No quiz like that.
No way they did that. That's why I say.
Who I don't know who they is?
Who made that fucking work?
I've never used that word.
I've never used that word in my life.
I've never even heard that word.
Who said that, Kayla?
Yeah.
Kayla, your ass is out of there.
Kick her out of discord.
Yeah, your asses out of it.
We asked for words and she gave a good one.
Quisaciously.
Pete.
Stop quisationing her.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Sorry, Kayla.
Making a mockery of her.
It's on Demaris, right?
Yeah.
Demaris.
This is from Hezy.
Okay.
Your word is
Flem.
I could get this one.
P-L-E-G-M.
Hell no.
P-H-L-E-G-M.
Sorry, P-H-L-E-G-M.
You can't spell it right after
or try to spell it right out
where he might have stole.
What did you say after?
I didn't hear it, honestly.
You're lying.
I really didn't hear how we just...
Okay. Go ahead.
Still?
I'm going to try.
Okay.
Yeah, at this point, you might as well
just try to spell everything.
which letter did you say
I forgot both things she said
I got to pay attention
I said that shit too quick
Flem right
yeah
P-H
no you know
stop doing that
spell the word
he said
mm-hmm
come on
mm-hmm
P-H-E-L-E-N
nope
what she wants to do with me
I actually would have spelled it F-L-E-M, but, you know.
Can I try to steal?
Yeah.
I'm probably going to get it wrong, too.
Flem, P-H-L-E-G-H-M.
Wrong.
Close.
Can you spell it first, please?
P-H-L-E-G-M.
Okay, there's a second age.
Yeah.
All right.
But there is a F-L-E-M, right?
No?
No.
I don't know where you be at.
I don't know who you've seen that.
at bro. I'm so mad. I'm gonna start
slowing down like Rory instead of fucking
speeding through words because I'm looking at the word
in my head is still coming wrong
out my mouth. No, you got it.
If I feel you on that one, baby D. Don't worry about it.
Ma, get the fuck. All right.
I just said, I feel you on that, baby D.
Go ahead. Rory. It's Rory. It's Rory. It's Rory. This
is from a Twitter fan
and Discord.
Okay. Dougie Dan. All right.
Simple name. So hopefully
it's a simple word. The word is
can I get
bonus points then
if I get this right
can this be an eight-pointer
mom
oh man
my
all right
I'm sorry
your word is
negus
mhm
mhm
mhm
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
oh you know what
Pige can you use it in a second
yeah
Yo.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Who's the sponsor after that word?
Now a word from my sponsor.
I...
It's an actual word.
I know.
And I'm actually...
Finally, going to get one correct,
and I'm not sure what that's saying about me.
Okay.
Okay.
N-E-G-U-S.
A.
Go, Rory.
One of my new current favorite...
rappers from
upstate New York. I
never say his name. I just promote him
on Instagram because I'm always scared to say
it's that word I rap
is his full name. So that's why I know how to
spell. Didn't I tell you to tell him to change his damn
name? I said it to him, but it was for selfish
reasons. Because I wanted to be able
to say it. He can rap so well,
but I hate that damn same name. He's one of
the most talented artists out
in my opinion. And he got me
one point. So at least I like, at least I won't have the
donut on the artwork.
Yeah.
The donut.
Go ahead.
No, but you lose a point if you spell a word wrong, right?
No.
Then I'd be at fucking negative 50.
Oh, man.
We got rid of that rule.
Dan.
It was never a rule.
Go ahead, Ma.
What's my word?
Oh.
Well, your word from too damn good.
Indefinitely.
Indefinitely?
I always fuck up definitely and defiantly.
Indefinitely.
I-N-D-E-F-I-N-D-E-F-I-N-E-T-L-Y.
I was about to say.
Can I steal?
As you can, baby, D.
I-N-D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y.
That's what.
Fuck, fucking I, man.
Mayer's making a comeback.
And it's her turn.
M. I.
Crick letter,
Crick letter,
crick letter I.
Hunt back, humpback.
When is that show coming back?
I don't know.
They need to hurry and bring it back.
Hell you.
Baby D, this is from Ash.
Namonia.
Hell no.
Baby D ain't spelling pneumonia.
Shut up.
Let me think.
In my head,
I got proud of myself
that I at least know
with the first letter
and that was a win for me.
Small, small wins.
I'm going to try.
P.
N
E
M
O
Yeah
That's hard
That's hard
That's word
It's definitely one of those
It's a tough one
What say you
Oh fuck I know where I fucked up at
Damn
P S
What?
I thought that she got that right
So
I would have went PN
But I thought she said P S
and it was correct
Because P's didn't hit the no
Didn't she say PS?
No.
Oh, PN.
I was going on for her.
No, you can't do that.
P.N.
Just stop.
Stop.
I thought she said P.S.
And I was like, God damn.
No, learn how to spell.
No.
I would have said P.N.
I'm dead ass.
I thought she said P.S.
I was like, all right, wow.
I wouldn't have gotten that.
I would have just gotten P.
Oh, my God.
Pistimonia.
He put an es in pneumonia.
I thought she did.
I was trying to cherry pick off what she said.
No.
She got it wrong.
Even if she did, she got it wrong.
Why would you repeat what she did?
Because when he put the horn, I thought it was whatever part she was in at the time.
I thought she said P.S.
N.
Where do you hear a S in pneumonia?
Where do you hear a P?
But P can make the, that sign.
Pea can be silent.
Especially when you pee on the carpet.
Get out.
Get the fuck out.
All right, man.
Hold on.
Hold on.
All right, man.
You should get this right.
Because I'm so, go ahead.
Let me try to spell it.
Uh, fuck.
P-N-E.
Mm-hmm.
P-N-E.
No.
P-N-E.
Fuck, is it?
You?
Yes.
Oh, wait.
Oh.
Wait, no?
So it's E-U.
No.
Malls are, he said P-N-E-U.
Oh, I thought he said P-N-U.
No, he said it.
No, Maul's correct so far.
P-N-E-U.
Yeah.
go ahead.
P-N-E-U-M-O-N-I-A.
Yeah.
I forgot to you.
Good job.
Yeah.
Now tell us the four stages.
The who?
The four stages.
The four stages.
Oh, my God.
This is fucking...
All right.
It's Rory's term.
I feel like it's always Rory's term.
Goal always delivers.
I mean, do I just go like super easy?
No, no, no.
Come on.
We could stay with the same difficulty left.
Okay.
Yeah, this is the good one.
From Jay.
Is this the hard ER this time?
Yeah.
I can't believe more washing me right now.
Your word is Q.
I will use it in a sentence so he knows which one.
Like the main character of Juice or like what are we saying here?
He died.
His friend died in Juice.
Roy don't know how to take one of these.
Roy doesn't know how to take it.
It's like the cue like you're lining up for something.
Oh, okay, different Q.
Sorry.
Oh, see, then I don't.
You're in line at the DMV.
You're in the queue at DMV.
Oh, like when you put something and you're like,
But is the marriage supposed to be doing this?
Yeah, see, I don't.
No, that's fair.
If I didn't even get the definition.
She's a contestant.
But I'm using it in a sentence.
You ain't supposed to do nothing.
That's Pige's job.
She's a contestant.
And first of all I said, I gave a definition as a joke.
I didn't ask for one.
So if I give another version,
of Q, I could still be correct.
It doesn't have to be the one when you're in line
at DMU. But DeMaris can't do that.
I agree. That's what I'm saying.
QUE.
That's got to be a word.
That's gay. You're Puerto Rican today.
Ma, can you go?
Yeah.
Okay.
Get the Eres.
Get past.
What do you mean?
Get past my amigo.
Yo.
I didn't ask country of origin.
you.
Even in that
That's a loophole.
That's still not Q.
Hey.
He's just white.
He pronouncing him.
No.
Yo, I'm fucking crying.
He's a torrent.
Oh,
shit, Q, C-U-E, man.
Oh, with a confidence.
Yeah, that's your fault.
That's your fault.
That's your fault.
Okay.
Q you.
You can't do it again.
Uh, shit.
Come on, baby, dear.
Wait.
Oh, but now, see the way baby D.
Nah.
Who you see the way baby D.
No.
said take a cue. You said, who said,
Rory can't take a cue? No, like, lining up. Like,
lining, we both said, like, lining up at the DMV. See, they confuse me.
That's what I'm, me too. You said, you said, you said, you said, you said,
you said, who said Rory can't take a cue? Who said, who said Rory can't take a cue?
No one said that. Tamara's, definitely said that. You can't, you can't, you can't,
take, Rory can't take a cue. That is, if that's the, I spelled that right. But you are
correct. She's not allowed to do that. She's not a judge. She's got to come from you.
Y' y'all, y'all conspiring against me, man. That's fucking crazy.
I'm not going to turn against you.
Baby.
Oh, maybe you can see my computer.
No, I can't.
I cannot see your computer because I would know how to spell this fucking word.
I cannot see your computer.
That's crazy.
I'm getting my using my ease fucked up right now.
I was supposed to get that right, bro.
That's crazy.
They don't want to see me win.
Oh, I'm about to spell this boat it's so wrong.
But in the way DeMaris gave me the example, that I spelled that right.
Remember when I was being pressured for the clock?
But I'm just saying the way she said it, I'm like, okay, then that's what you.
You can give bad definitions too.
That's a fact.
They conspiring against me.
That's a fact.
I thought someone said something in Spanish.
You got a five-point cushion right now.
Fuck.
Why can I not remember how to spell this fucking word?
What's the clock, man?
Can you lower the brightness on your laptop in case you...
I can't see.
I'm...
I spell mad words wrong.
How will I be able to see it?
Try to throw us off.
Yeah.
You got to lose some, too.
Yeah.
You ever had the answers to a test and you, like, get two or three wrong?
Yeah, you have to.
I'm going to spell this wrong because I'm missing a letter.
and I don't know what the letter is.
That's not the letter you should be thinking of.
Now's the time.
It can circle all the way around.
I think once in it's wrong, you can't steal it.
You can't steal it after.
QE.
Hell, no.
It's Q-U-E, but there's another, or, what is it, Peach?
It's Q-U-E-U-E-U, right?
U-E-Q-U-E-E, is that it?
Wait, what do you say?
Q-U-U-U-E-E-E-U-E-E-E-E-E.
Yeah
Of course
I was
Going to spell that
And then you guys cut me off
That was your word originally
I know and then you just hit the button
You didn't let me finish
No you can't you don't
You say Q UE
And I said C you
Yeah
You guys didn't let me finish
Or you say QUE
And it stopped and looked at it
You say QUE right
Yeah
Rory has a point
Rory has a point
No he does not
Yes I do
You guys cut me off
You didn't let me finish
I could have continued on
You pause and say QUE
E
U-E. I could have kept going.
I could have kept going.
No, he was never going to say U.E again.
No, he wasn't.
Hell, no.
The entire time I've been saying, Ph.
It was the same cadence.
And we've been told you to stop doing that.
We've been told you to stop doing that.
Sorry.
No, I see.
Who's the word?
They don't want to see you win.
It's on mom.
No.

Each episode, we pick it here,
unpack what went down,
and try to make sense
of how we survived it.
Including a recent episode,
with Mark Lamont Hill
waxing all about crack in the 80s.
To be clear, 84 is big to me
not just because of crack.
I'm down to talk about crack on day,
but just so you all know.
I mean, at this point,
Mark, this is the second episode
where we've discussed crack,
so I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have AIDS on the table right now, so...
That you're finishing that sentence.
Yes, I don't think there's a more important year
for black people.
Really?
Yeah.
For me, it's one of the most important years
for black people in American history.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids.
My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game, and I fell in love.
On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic.
of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.
For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the
star player on our high school soccer team.
Very debatable.
And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.
I love this game.
I love its history, it's hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty.
Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important.

Foreboding.
The fuck is foreboding.
Oh, my Lord.
I'm dead ass.
What's foreboding?
Use it in a sentence for him.
Because since I'm not allowed to, go ahead.
It seems that her forebodings were justified.
I mean, I still doesn't explain anything, but...
Yeah.
Do you have an inward conviction of...
Okay, that hopes.
F-O-R-E-B-O-A-T-I-I...
For voting?
I spelled four in boating together.
Boating.

Oh, okay.
F-O-A-A-T-O-A-T.
F-O-R-E-B-O-D-I-N-G.
Come back.
Pee's going to say, let's give Rory some points.
Say, four-boating, and then it's not even that.
I'm thinking it's, because Peech said that, it's got to be,
exactly, it's got to be boating and four together.
Yeah.
All right.
He described it to you, though, like what it is.
It said nothing about boating.
Mm-hmm.
The definition said nothing about the word boating.
I didn't think it was something you do at the beach.
I just, when he said it was easy.
I just thought it was foreign boating.
Yeah.
All you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
This is from a different nano.
Oh, man.
Nano.
Araknophobia.
Araknophobia.
Araknaphobia.

No, no.
A-R-A-C-H
N
damn, is it...
You already said O, so you have to start a O.
No, I could change how I'm spelling.
I didn't finish spelling it.
That was the room that we came up with
from the very beginning.
Let me go back to the forefoding.

Ambidextrous.
Ooh, that I like that word.
A. M.
B-I-D-E-X-T-R-O-U-S.
Don't call the comeback.
Good job, baby, D.
Can't spell ambidextrous without the D.
She's lucky because I would have easily stolen that.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
She got lucky on that one.
Because I'd be up to right now.
You be up to?
Roy, you ready?
I guess.
How ready can you be?
You can never be too ready, Rory.
But keep in a row with us.
Are you like failing on purpose?
No.
What the fucking mean?
No.
We're listening to Intrasville.
Moss.
What the fuck?
How many more times I'd tell you guys I was in space camp?
I was not a book smart person.
Oh, shit.

Oh, okay.
Equivocal.
Is it equivocal or equivocal?
Equivocal
Equivocal. Equivocal?
Yeah.
What's also tough is when I start spelling, I lose it in my mind.
You got to see it.
Yeah.
No, do you got to write it on the back of your paper with your hand with a kid.
You're allowed to do that?
No.
No, you can't do that with your finger.
No.
You can't do it.
Oh, wow.
That would have helped me a lot.
Really?
Yeah, they write it on their thing.
Equivocal.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I.
V-I-C-A-L.
Fuck.

Was that extra?
Damn, was that extra?
We should have played it where if you steal it and get it wrong, it's negative points.
That's what I did.
That's what I said.
I know.
We should have did that.
We should have did that.
No one was going to get to 15 then.
All right, I'll try it.

She was even looking at the laptop and giving you the thumbs up.
Peach Friday tried to trick her and put the wrong spelling up there.
Come on, Demaris.
Shit, no, I was going to spell it like that.
You said inconspicuous or conspicuous?
Conspicuous.
Can you use it in the sentence, please?
just to make sure

of having me go before him
where he can steal points
Yeah I was gonna say yeah
That's why he's up so far now

Oh, Jesus.
Demaris, you have been
taking way longer than me. You had it.
Oh, I was about to spell it on a damn page. Lord, let me not do that.

Luminance-O-L-M-A-S-A-S-A.
She's spelled.
She's supposed.
She's about L-E-S-E-N-T?
Fuck.

It's S-C-E-N-T.
That's not what he said?
I definitely would last.
I knew the interview.
S-E-N-T.
Damn, I thought he fucking did it right.

His news talks about it every goddamn day.
Fascism.
He's in a sentence speech?
F-A-S-C-I-S-M.
Wow.
Enough Fox News.
That's the title on the TV every single time.
I want to Demaris.
I'll get a steal out of this, then get my own point.
Get me up to three.
Incumbent.

Can you say that?
Say it again.
Incumbent.
Mm-hmm.

Another one since, like, you're still in.
All right.
I'm at 10, mall's at 13.
Rory's at one.
All right, Rory, this is your round.
Come on, you can do this.
You got this.
Your word is.
First of all, I don't want the petty claps.
What?
of the kid.
I'm encouraging.
And last place
at the track meet.
Like, hey, good job, sport.
Like, yeah.
Everybody starts to fucking.
They already gave ribbons to everyone
and he's still coming through.
I'm not that guy.
And you kind of are.
No, you clearly are that guy.
Can we do proper nouns?
Proper nouns.
If you would have started with that,
I would have been at 14 points.
I have a geography.
I love proper nouns.
Come on.
Give me a proper noun.
Jamaica.
Jamaica?
I should know how to spell.
I could write this out for sure.
You're joking, right? You really can't spell Jamaica.
I'm spelling things out without writing them down is very fucking tougher.
Wait, what's the word?
You know.
Jamaica. Jamaica.
Rid them.
There's no fucking whack.
You don't let nize down, baws down, and cars gone.
Where's the aya?
I knew that I was going to trip you up.
That's the one.
Spell check has ruined my fucking life.
I could type it the way I think it is.
just fix it and I'll think I spelled it right. It's Jamaica, not Jamashia.
Rital. I can spell Jumungi.
Yo, baby, yo, she, all right, man, all. I can't, I cannot wait to his turn.
Bro. J-A-M-M- You're spelling right now. I know. Okay.
J-A-M-A-I-C-A. Oh, thank God.
Jesus- Fucking. Pons are sweating. Christ.
Roy has two on the board, guys, two on the fucking
I see everyone's nervous.
Everyone's, their posture's a little different now.
Mm-hmm.
My word is,
Cortland.
Cortland?
What?
Like Cortland, New York?
Like Van Cortland Park.
I could spell this easily.
Like Van Cortland Park?
Like Van Cortland Park.
Yeah.
We should have started with this round.
I would have some points by now.
C-O-R-T-L-A-N-D-T.
All right.
I thought the T was going to mess you up.
If you said like Van-C-O-R-R-T-O.
Van Cortland Park.
I thought he was going to throw you in there with the court.
You know how many times I've known how to spell that.
I got 14, baby, D.
Don't cheat me.
Cheat the judge.
Are you allowed to say like,
it's like Van Cortland Park?
That felt like a big clue and giveaway.
Because I know a lot of people would spell Cortland, C-O-U-R-T, L-A-N-D.
But that's why I was going to ask him to like use it in the sentence.
There's no, nobody would put Cortland.
You're like, yo, is it like this?
Nobody would put you in Cortland.
There's definitely places that have Cortland.
that has a you.
That is true.
