The team who answered Idaho buzzes in. “Alka-Seltzer.”
“Yes, how can we ever forget that catchphrase? Okay, a lizard is this insurance company’s spokesman?”
Clark hits his buzzer first. “Geico?”
“Ah, another point for Clark and Jen.”
He continues to ask questions until two more teams are eliminated.
“Now, round three, and the category is sports.” David groans because he’d pull off his fingernails rather than sit through a sporting event. But I have this, though I know Clark does, too.
“What sport is the Tour de France?” he asks, and I’m first.
“Cycling,” I answer, and a giant grin appears on my face.
“Correct, Xander. Two more points for your team. Now, what sport do you have a person who sets the ball to strike it?”
I hit it again because it’s my second favorite sport, next to football. “Volleyball,” I say as I beat everyone with the buzzer.
“You’re right again. Okay, so now let’s talk about football. This sport is called football worldwide, except for the US.”
Clark is first to the buzzer. Talk about an easy question. Motherfucker. “Soccer.”
“Yes, Clark. You’re right. Now the next question has multiple answers. But we’ll only take the first correct answer by a team. What sport uses sticks?”
Team Idaho rings in first. “Lacrosse.” I know they’re right.
“Yes, we would have taken hockey in any form.”
He asks five more questions, and by the end of the third round, only four teams remain, and David and I are tied with Clark and Jen.
“Okay, now round four, and we’re on to television shows. I’ll name the two characters, and you’ll give us the show. Okay, ready?” I wonder why he’s asking this question. After all, no one answers him.
“Lily and Marshall?”
I hit the buzzer. “How I Met Your Mother?” I love this show.
“Yes, two more points for your team. Okay, Ross and Rachel?”
I hit it again. “Friends.”
“Yep, you know your shows. How about Chuck and Sarah?”
Jennifer answers. “Chuck?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
I lean into David. “That’s not fair, the name is in the title.”
He rolls his eyes. He understands how I pick apart the legalities of any competitive game.
“Okay. Beth and Rip?”
Clark hits it this time. “Yellowstone.”
“Yes, I wouldn’t want to go against Beth Dutton, that’s for sure.” The emcee laughs at his commentary. “Okay, next one. Gibbs and Tony?”
The Idaho couple answers. “NCIS?”
