Well, way to put that together.
And to ally the pirates.

All right. And back to Lynn
jugglings. The jugglings have nuts.
Oh, boy. I think
I'm going to have to say no on the
jugglings. Jugglings are walnut
trees. The dog knew that one isn't. My dogs are not
happy with that. They knew the answer. Not happy with that.
And our last one to Allie. Another one I can't pronounce the
ficus Benghal.
Yes, it is a fig
tree. That was a tough one.
Let's go to that scoreboard and see how my guests did.
We have Brian and Lyn tied with two. Allie was zero.
But Ali, you get a bonus going into the second round,
you get to pick the order. You can mix it up, keep
it the same, or mix it up or keep it the same.
You want to mix it up. Who do you want to go first? Lynn. Me.
And then Arteya, Lynn, Allie, and Brian.
That means we're bringing Lynn into the hot seat first.
Lyn, welcome to the show. Thank you. Where
are you calling in from? I'm in Palm Springs
at a balmy 115 degrees. It's not that
bad, but down the street
it's a dry 115, though, right? I don't have any pants on, but that's
okay. None of us do.
Tell us a little about yourself. What you do in Palm Springs. Yeah, so
I actually am a beauty entrepreneur. I have a hair care
brand. Oh, wow.
Nice. Yes. High and tight.
Yep. So men love it, too, by the way. But yes, my brand is
called Masami. We have a Japanese ocean botanical. It's
all about hydration, which we need a lot right now because
it's hot. Is it available online? Can
anybody anywhere order online lovemosme.com or on
Amazon? Check it out. All
right, I'll put those links in the show
notes. Lynn, are you
ready for the hot seat? Probably not. I am in the hot
seat already. Literally. Literally. But I
guess I'm as ready as I can be. All right, so my guests are going
to get questions from these three categories in the second round
tribons, 90s movies, and US. History. If you're not
familiar with a tribon, that's something where I'll give you three words and you have
to tell me what ties those three words together. So, for example, I might say
something like car, tree,
and elephant. Elephant. All three of
those things have cabooses a
trunk, just like we rehearsed. All
right, here we go, Lynn.
Pirates, Penguins, Steelers. What ties
those three things together? Pirates,
penguins and Steelers. Oh, you better get
this. Oh, my God.
How much time do I have? Since you asked, I will
put 3 seconds on the clock. It's a roll of the show.
Oh, my God. No. I don't know.
Pirates. Ahoy Matey. I don't know.
Ahoy, matey is close. They are all
sports teams from Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh
Steelers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Really? What do the
penguins do? Hockey. I'm not a
sports person. Clearly. That is, like, the worst
category I could get. Well, let's go over to 90s movies.
That's more my speed. What actor appeared in Hook,
Father's Day, and Flubber? Would it
be Robin Williams? Robin Williams is
correct. Correct. And
your us. History? Okay. What
is the only us? State that formed as a result of a popular
vote to separate from another state?
Boy, that sounds like something Texas would
do. It also sounds like something California would
do, but it's probably an east coast state,
like, oh, South
Carolina. South Carolina is
incorrect. It was West Virginia. West Virginia.
Now, this is where you can earn five bonus points from the hot seat.
I'm going to give you a category. You have to tell me five things that
fit into that category. Lyn I need you to name
