Once again, just because my memory is short and perhaps the audience is as
well. What we're going to be doing here.
So this is pointed. Okay, so you each have three chips in
front of you. Okay.
Christina has 30. David has 30.
I'm going to propose a question. There are three categories.
Okay. You have to bet your wagers based on
those categories that the confidence that I have, that I have, and my
knowledge of those categories. Correct.
So if you feel really good about that first category, I don't know if you want
to bet it all, but you know, she knows so badly over the last two weeks.
But now I'm scared because I overheard our producer working on this and he was
like, Oh, there, these are all too easy or really, really hard.
We can't make them too easy. And I said, Look, don't make them that
hard. So I don't know.
I'm shocked. I'm shocked.
Let's see how she shook. Shook it.
What are the categories? Do we go for the categories?
All right. So let's get right to it, because they
always are diplomacy. That is the first one.
And that's going to be embarrassing. Bankruptcy is number two and Oscars is
number three. So, oh, he's going heavy on which Oscar
is displayed. You're going to see I did.
I saw a movie. I saw it.
Did you see? I saw Train Dreams.

diplomacy. All right.
I'm hoping I don't embarrass bankruptcy, leaving a 20 on you.

T shook. Can I ask you to spell it?
And they will just give it away for that right here.
Would you like a spelling? Oh, no.
He's looking. He.
He's going. He's going to go see I even see like
little pictures that you're doing here. So peeking over it is.
I'm ready to go. Okay.
All right, let's flip it. Okay.
He's. I would say our language.
What country? Oh, sorry.

I know that that could have been overruled on a technicality.
All right, so Christina keeps her 20 old.

radio listeners. You did not, Mrs..

shamrocks was the meeting was okay. You know, he he did defend British Prime
Minister Keir Starmer. Yes.
