Sean, will Jason enough talking about the past? Let's look ahead to the present. Today's main event. It's a numbers game T, V, show edition. the.

I keep forgetting this. I keep forgetting there's a band right behind me.

So because .

I saw them load .

in and I know the weed you did.

it's the numbers game is so good.

This game is built on T, V, shows with numbers in their titles. You are going to be tested on your very useful knowledge of television shows, and also your very useless knowledge of basic elementary .

school math. Two, two, seven.

two, seven.

I like so ready with a number right off the bed.

There will be a winner in one of these questions.

Each question will take the form of a simple math equation only instead of numbers, i'm going to tell you A T, V, show title that has had the number removed from IT. Or you can recognize the show, understand the number, and then solve the equation using the missing numbers and using get a bonus point as a group for responding with an answer in the form of A T, V show titles. So i'm going to give you an example.

This is just a practice one. This doesn't count. You score. Let's try this out if I said davies, say minus for thirty, what with the answer be? And you can talk IT out to work IT out .

betwen yourselves thirty for thirty.

So would be sixty.

You've got that right. And if you wanted that extra point, what is there is a show title with sixty minutes.

You got at sixty .

minutes you could have also said studios sixty, or any of the millions of TV shows that have sixty in their titles. Okay, then let's play. It's a numbers game, TV show edition. The first question is million dollar man divided by studies.

Six million dollar man, up by three student studies. Six, five by three, two, oh, two. And then you got .

to do to show two in IT.

Two, two, seven, fect.

I can use IT right away. And I feel like .

I should give you double export points because there's two. And yes, I like i'll take IT. okay.

So that's three .

points total for that question that you get you more points than you're supposed to do. Question to is reno nine plus and a half men.

fourteen three thousand nine one one, three .

hundred men have men them is thirty honed reno nine .

one one could be eleven or two ones think .

we to go eleven? I think we have to go .

h it's A Y A vehicle on network that can be .

seen massive successful.

Young people love IT. Young people love IT.

And and and I can give you fourteen .

reasons why.

Let's go to question three. This one might be more difficult. And to try to, and none seat as much as I can, this is heaven OK times .

I think different on .

the second show. Three a half men, six as company. yeah.

That was very fast, very impressive. You guys are blazing through this game. Let's continue.

IT. two. Number four, this question is early hills o two, one, no minus is enough.

One, nine or two. And yeah, is enough.

We're .

going.

Think of show murder. Murder one.

Well, yeah, you got IT, everyone. That's two full points here.

It's just fantastic. I found.

by the way.

Party of five.

you all have such unique strength that come together as a team, Jason, with the numbers, the T, V. Shows with the writing down, the numbers, which is good for record keeping for later.

And you sider a your strength writing stuff down. All he can. Anything I can get is in the marvel story in the mcu .

is there care .

is super .

o who super powers was writing down .

this .

monograph? He was this no graphic.

Okay, that was a great game. You guys played an amazing game, but just because you're done with the game does not mean the game is done with you. There's also the matter .

of this episodes mega clue.

beautiful. This is a final question made out of the answers of all the previous questions. So i'm going to remind you what those answers were. I would tell everyone, shaan doesn't to know this because he already has IT. Everyone, take a moment to get a pen, something to write on.

so I can remind you what the on writing IT down IT. Turns out there was smart.

If you're driving large, your nees just underneath the steering wheel, grab a pen, keep your eyes on the roads somewhat .

and if you have a candle on your dashboard, careful, sorry, there are some no .

a point a to three .

chicken that you are picking up with your non driving hand. D, K, here, the numbers that you have already had as your answers to thirteen, twenty one, one and five.

Ah.

i'll tell you again, two, thirteen, twenty one, one and five. Now I want you to add those numbers together forty two and then subtract from that number. That was great.

Then think about your .

super power.

mr. Math man, hey.

algebra now add those .

numbers, the other forty two, and then attract the number of monkeys in the title of a television adaptation of a nineteen nineties science fiction film. And then tell me, can you think of a show with that number in the title?

Be twelve month.

thirty four, but it's thirty four. Twelve monkeys are eight monkeys else. Twelve.

thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty.

Forty two minus twelve twelve monkeys for thirty. And then I was hoping that someone would say thirty something because it's the rare teleme show. They spelled out the number they did.

right?

And for one final absolutely last question, take that last number.

And I want you to .

add IT IT up. Yes, that's the way .

we do things on smart less. You know.

take that last number added to nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy. And can you tell me the name of any pyramid ds that are worth that much money?

Ten .

thousand.

thousand and thousand I put you on the top of a million dollar pyramid is so damn good.

Yes.

I you .

brilliant.

And you you guys.

There is you wanted .

more stink music. You ve got IT heavy baseline. The Cliff hanger puzzle is just a little bit extra puzzle.

We put IT in a topper wiry to take home and pick at IT until the next episode. And today's muscle, he takes the form. Today's muslim takes the form of a little story.

IT seems that the energy drink, prime hydration, has been so successful that the company celebrated by creating two solid gold prime bottles. The gold bottles are an appropriate vessel for the drink. Silver bottles would also be appropriate, but iron or twin bottles would not be. Why is that the case that for you to odelia until learn next episode?
