I know that Jim's not meant to be easy. Man, when you're in a winter, doing it in the dark is hard. Doing it alone is hard. Doing it cold is hard. Doing it when you don't want to is hard. Even doing it when you do is hard. Doing it when it's too early for this is hard. Doing it when there's every reason not to is hard. Doing it again and again and again is hard. And we wouldn't want to be doing anything else. Jim Shark. We do Jim. Oh my gosh, you can't be serious. You think making the pick is the hard part? No, it's not. The pick takes like three seconds. You know what's hard? The sweat. The time between locking in and cashing out. Yeah, you have a take. But in the end, it's not about the winners or losers. This is about us, man. Whether we're brave enough to sit through it. Don't fight the sweat. Live in it. Because you are an underdog. Underdog. At least you're done. Turns me up live.

This is the Bird Show. That time has come to crown the best all-around player in Scrabble. It's the first Bird Show Scrabble Challenge. Let's find out who on the Bird Show is the best player in Scrabble. All right, if you're just joining us this morning, this all started yesterday when Wendy and Melissa both confessed on air. That they have cheated in a game called Words With Friends, which is Scrabble on your iPhone. And at some point over the last couple of weeks, they have both schooled Jeff. They beat him badly. And it's been sort of simmering in him the last couple of weeks. It's demoralizing. It's demoralizing. I went to bed at 7 p.m. every night for two weeks after Wendy beat him. So there was some relief with Jeff yesterday when he found out he lost a couple of cheaters. So today, when we brought in a classic Scrabble board, he wanted to even the playing field. But it turns out that Wendy, at least at this point, is winning. Mm-hmm. I think Melissa just played a word. All right, so we will get an update here now from producer Joanna on where we are in this whole Scrabble match.

Well, as of right now, when he's still winning, she has 77 points. And now Melissa is in second. Oh, two. With 57 points. I mean, you were making fun. What's your problem? 53. The game's not over yet. We have plenty of time. Start a panic a little bit. There's no panic. You are starting a panic just a little bit. Zero panic. You can return the air condition up a little bit because it looks like a little hot. There is zero panic. I don't think so. Here comes Wendy with her straw. Swarm. Swarm. Oh, she's already... She's so fast. Wendy has got something up her sleeve because between commercials, what did she say? I need to see the rules again. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. She's got something going on. She's got something to do with the rule book. Yeah. I had to look at one specific rule because if I can find a way to put this word on the board, it could potentially be a nice amount of points. Why changing? It could be an enormous amount of points. Game over, kind of points. I'll just have a really, really big lead. Like checkmate. This is Wendy. Wendy does it every time we have a challenge. We don't trust you anymore. I have to find a place on the board to put it.

Go ahead, take a look at it. We got a minute to kill. It's going to be a while. Okay. She doesn't say... We don't trust you anymore. We don't play dumb. I do. Now listen. We can't play dumb. I know you guys always like to make fun of me for like changing rules and all that stuff. But like, I have never seen more scrutiny for the cheating. Like Joanna seriously does jump up and watch like a hawk everybody when they're at the board. And then like, I don't know. Melissa, you kind of said something. I think I talked over here or something, but like, I don't know what you're doing over there. Wendy, I think you're cheating. And then like, like, I just, I never, I don't think I ever really embrace the level of paranoia in this room or competitiveness. I don't know. I didn't say she was cheating, but somebody made a comment about Wendy cheating. Well, we're only here because you and Wendy cheated. Oh. I mean, that's the reason why we're here. But you've never played words with friends. So it's really, I'm not sure how the hell we could cheat on a Scrabble board that is in the room. For those of you joining us in an angel,

we're still in the middle of this Scrabble game. And now the words cheating are being thrown around again. How can you cheat? It's yeah, I don't know how you can cheat on this classic. They're actually just on their, you know, I touch it. It's on an electronic game that calculates it before you. Mad that he is losing right now. I'm not the one bringing up cheating. It's even Joanna is like suspending herself over the game table. Yeah, but Joanna came in early. This is her special mission today. This is the only reason she's in studio. And people are accusing Wendy of cheating and stuff. Like you can't rip on Joanna for being passionate about a job that we gave her. Yeah. I know. I just want to do this to the best of my ability. And I mean, your brand, Jeff, is really sort of, I mean, I'm not going to say that it's certainly not cheating, but you will bend the rules somewhat to win a competition. That's the thing is like I at this point, we are playing a game. I'm not accusing anybody of cheating. I'm just saying at this point, we are playing a game to eliminate all aspects of cheating. And the fact that there are still accusations of cheating going around amuses me because I knew we were competitive.

I didn't realize we were like, what do you really want to say, Melissa? What's going on in your head? No, well, I know I'm laughing that, yeah, that Jeff was in the lead at the beginning. Now he's lost to Wendy. Who you've been very critical of and you've resulted Wendy a lot to last. The game's not over yet. Okay. All right. Our rule, I think, is that at nine o'clock, when you got to take off, this thing's got to be over. There's other flights. There's other flights. There are flights. There are flights west all day. And you know what? There are flights tomorrow morning too. All right. So who's move is it now? It'll be mine. Okay. I have to take a look at the board, because Jeffrey took so long on his turn. So I get to take a minute. And so we'll continue to play the Scrawl game on. Take your time. The radio show will miss you. During commercials. See now why you got to look at that. Another shot because now he's losing. He's insulting even more. It's okay. It's fine. We'll just call you back to the computer when you got to read George and Avigator. Oh, it's okay. I'm just saying. Wendy, just remain calm. You should do traffic. You know what you need to say, Wendy? Scoreboard. Scoreboard. Just look at the scoreboard right now.

SCO R E O A R D. The second word, such as crust and far. I am beating you. All right. We still got a little time in this thing. All right. So between commercials, it will be Wendy's. Did you get Wendy's shot? She's hiding a toil in her ass off against. Even her head's calved up as he. She's like even my slant is getting the job. It's the virtue. Morning show in fidelity cannot and will not be tolerated. Be loyal. Be with the virtue. Q 100. It was an exhausting morning this morning. The competition here was fierce and it was thick. Wow. It was the scrabble challenge between Jeff and Melissa and Wendy. Jeff the last couple of days taunting. Wendy's specifically a couple of jabs at Melissa, but mostly Wendy. And Wendy as she does every competition we have came in here all like, I don't even know what I'm doing. You guys, I don't even remember all the letters in the alphabet.

I didn't say that. I just kept quiet. I don't even know what a W is you guys. She's focused and she ended up winning this morning. Yes. And I've seen remorse from Melissa. Like she's looking back at this game thinking, oh, if I just wanted to listen to this and this and this. No, it's my last word. It was one of those things where I played a word. I had a word and I thought, you know what? I don't think that that is a word. And so if I get challenged and lose my turn, I'm definitely going to lose to Jeff. And so because Jeff and I were tied and kept being right there. You know, and in the end, he beat me by two points. He still beat me, but you know, we were still not connected. And so and I have the last word remorse because I thought, well, let me look should I look, I should not have looked it up. But the word I was going to play was actually a word. So I should have heard. And then heard is going to be that. But I didn't I lost and Wendy won and Jeff came in second. And it's going to aided him all we can. It will drive him crazy. I think he tries to play off that he's not as competitive as the rest of us. But I think at the end of the day, we're all pretty close. We're splitting hairs here when it comes to competition.

The problem here now is that I made a mistake. I posted a picture of the winning board up online on Facebook. And now all these people are messaging me saying, no, QI is not a word or meth is an abbreviation. It's not a real word. And Jeff's going to look at that. He's going to come back on Monday like he said. Jeff's going to play another round. He's going to throw the protest flag. Well, it doesn't matter that because it was not challenged at the time. We accepted every single word that got on that board. So I mean, people took sides on who they wanted to win. And so those are the people that are emailing or texting saying. Kind of whatever. But I mean, we accepted every word that came on that board. So I mean, it was fun. It was entertaining. Congratulations. Thank you. It's just a fun game. But I think it's a reflection of what happens in so many households with any board game is that you have it becomes too much of a competition to where you fight by the end of the game. Right. It starts out fine. Oh, we're going to just start by the next day. Every weekend with each other. And then yeah, right. What do you have going on this weekend and where you were in that crown? Where you were in your championship belt this weekend?

I think I'm going to go to a fun ballroom dance party tonight because I haven't been to ballroom dancing in a couple of weeks. So I'm going to do that tonight and a couple of options for Saturday. Definitely want to go to the Burt's Big Adventure reunion. Hang out with all the kids. And then I'm not sure about Saturday, not yet. Yeah, thanks to Fernbank. We are doing a Burt's Big Adventure reunion on Saturday. So thanks a lot. A whole bunch of the former Burt's Big Adventure families will be there all hanging out and connecting again. So that'll be cool. What you got going on, Jembe says, National TV. Show this tonight today with HLN. And then, you know, I'm getting married in two months. Yeah. So there's a lot to do. And so we'll be doing lots of that this weekend and then watching my Florida State Seminole's take on Oklahoma University on Saturday at 3.30. So that'll be the one fun thing I do. And then trying to get past this head cold. Yeah, it's just I've seen this happen before. Not with Jim, but with my wife where I've actually seen a cold come over somebody. Yeah, we saw it in June. And it happened to me yesterday. In like five minutes. She was fine. And then she got it. It was weird. I woke up yesterday. I felt great.

And like between like 815 and 915, I had a cold. Yeah. It was so strange. That's what you're really creepy. How about you, Kat How? Well, the weekend starts off sad. Because Katie and I are about to attend a funeral here after the show. And so second one in a couple weeks. Second one in a couple weeks. One of our dear friends lost her mother this week. So but we're going to go support her. And then tonight going to dinner with friends. And then tomorrow my Tennessee volunteers take on the Oregon Ducks and that's tomorrow night at seven. So a go falls on that also. Georgia music. Call a fame tomorrow night that Katie and I are going to attend. And then on Sunday night, the Atlanta pet rescue has their 10 year birthday bash and Grant Park. It's called the Bowel Meow birthday bash. So going to be there on Sunday night. Cool. And go Georgia State. Good luck this weekend. Go Panthers. Go Panthers. Go get them. I'm coach Bill Curry to do that football coach. I'm coach for Georgia State University and I do mean new. This is a great university. Get it the bird show.

Everyone wants to know the secret to staying consistent in the gym during winter. Truth is there is no secret. We just adapt. We try new things and find new ways to do the old things. We take it one step at a time and we move forwards. We take outdoor workouts indoors or take our training partners outdoors with us. We find ways to do the things we've always done. Because strength isn't seasonal. It's non-negotiable. Jim Shark. We do Jim. Oh my gosh, you can't be serious. You think making the pick is the hard part? No, it's not. The pick takes like three seconds. You know it's hard. The sweat. The time between locking in and cashing out. Yeah, you have a take. But in the end, it's not about the winners or losers. This is about us, man. Whether we're brave enough to sit through it. Don't fight the sweat. Live in it. Because you are an underdog. Underdog. At least you're dog. Turns me up live.

Listen, it's the virtue. Um, skyscanner.com. This is going to be an interesting debate because I posted this on Facebook a couple of days ago and I think I had 165 responses. People just so passionate about this one way or the other, right? At this survey says almost three out of five people say they think airlines should segregate off a section of their planes for families only. So if you've got small children, in other words, you would have your own segregated section of the airplane. And one out of five people think little kids should be banned from some flights entirely. What? So when you go to book a flight, so when you go to book a flight, it would have a little elastic right there and it would say if you have children under the age of six, you're going to have to get another flight. I don't agree with that. So let's go through. Let's go through both of them. 877-588-Bert-B-E-R-T-877-588-2378. Well, I do agree that it would be cool to have their own section because I think parents can relate. The kids can all play with each other and talk with each other and be away from everybody else.

There could be a way to compromise and you could have family friendly flights. You know, if there are people who are really passionate about having some flights, not have little kids on it whatsoever, there's other places where it's family friendly and children in their places that aren't. And so why can't it fly to be the same way? My feeling is if you had a section there on that though, like if the section starts at 22 and goes back to 34 and I'm in row 18, I'm going to still hear the crying babies. It's not like you're going to soundproof the front of the plane. Well, to me, it's sort of dangerous to make families like segregated from everyone else and make there the like there's a child world and an adult world and not to integrate the two. I think that we have to be really tolerant of each other as human beings, especially in a place like an airplane. I mean, we all have, you know, separate houses and lives and that sort of thing. And there's just sometimes in the public you're going to have to be together with other people you don't want to be around. I mean, that'd be the same thing as saying, okay, well, all overweight people have to be in one area and all skinny people can be in the other way area because you know what?

Why do overweight people kick your seat and scream uncontrollably? No, but they make me more uncomfortable than children do on flights. Well, that's an issue. That's what the Kevin Smith thing is. But you know what I'm saying? I don't agree with that either. Sometimes I'm just going to sit next to somebody who probably should have bought two seats and they're going to make me uncomfortable for a flight. Do I think they should have their own section? No. Do you think they should buy a kid? Do you think they should buy two seats? Like, don't you think if you're spending $500 to fly? No, I don't. I'm just saying sometimes we have to be tolerable of other people that we would maybe prefer not to be around. Maybe that's a two-year-old and maybe that's a 500 pound person. I don't know what it is, but to me, you just have to tolerate it for a little while. See, tolerance is great until you're writing a check. You're spending $500 to fly from one side of the country to the other. You deserve to have the same level of comfort that everybody else has. And that 500 pound person, for example, is going to be comfortable because they're oozing over into your seat and whatever. Or maybe it's somebody who has a cold or maybe it's right. You know what I'm saying? It's like, where do you stop? If you say it's kids, if you say it's an age limit, then what when is it a weight limit?

And when is it a weight limit? It's not smoking you. Yeah. Yeah. When is it somebody who drinks? You know, recently I was on a flight next to a woman who had been pound in the drinks at the bar before she got on the on the flight. And she stunk. She reaked like alcohol. I sat next to her for two and a half hours, whatever. You know what I'm saying? Like, where do you stop it? How about with children? Like, if you children, if you have young children who often get fussy on planes, some get fussy on planes. And you know, who kicked the seat and all that other stuff. And you want to spit, you want to pay for a premium, you know, like, let's say that first, 10 rows of coach or 12 rows of coach are designated children free in a cost. She had an extra 25 bucks. Why shouldn't you have the opportunity to do that? I just, yeah, I like it as an organization thing because you know, it takes families a long time to get on the plane, get situated, get their kids situated. So if it was an organization thing, and an easier thing for parents to have their own section, I agree with that part. I would think the biggest proponent of having that section would be parents themselves. Because when I take my kids to like a child-friendly movie,

if my kids are out of hand or there are other kids that are out of hand in that movie, I know it's okay because there are other parents in there that are going through the same thing that I'm going through. So to have our own section on a flight might be comforting. I've always, you know, even because I'm not a big fan of flying anyway, but I always hated that planes because I understand that you just can't, I guess, physically do it. It'd be like trains or other sections where you had sections of the plane that are private. Because even like for me, if I'm about to freak out on a plane, I'd rather be in my own little cabin freaking out than in front of everybody else. But I remember as a kid, the movie theater, I went to as a kid had a crying room where it was a Plexiglass soundproof room that everybody watched the same movie. So as an adult, you were out in the theater and then the families were behind the Plexiglass and the soundproof room. So if the babies were crying, nobody heard it, but the people in the family room, you know? Almost three out of five people say they think airlines should segregate off a section of their planes for families only. And one out of five people think little kids should be banned from some flights entirely. Good morning. Kristen,

you're on the birch show. Hey, I don't think that the kids should be paying for flying or anything like that. I just think that there needs to be a section for parent flying with smaller kids or kids in general because it just makes it easier for them and other people around and stuff like that to just have them in their own section somewhere close to a bathroom. If need be, I have a sister who just moved to California because her husband's in the Marines and she had to take my niece with her who was like 18 months and granted she did very good for her first plane, you know, ride, but sometimes that doesn't always go good. So I just think it'd be easier to have a separated section, not to be mean or anything. It just be easier. There's nothing there's nothing to mean about it. Like I don't know where where people get me but you can't even pay in the cargo haul. Yeah, it's how you go saying like like people are like, oh, I think and I don't think it's right to have the children segregate it. Yeah, it's like we're not taping their faces. What are the families and

kids got the best seats? Yeah, what if they get the front of the plane, the first on the plane, they get bigger seats, they get the exit rows. Oh, because the kids are in the play and you're stuck in the back. Are they paying for it? It's all I mean, we're, what if it's the same? You're acting like this is a big right like this is a public air transportation is a public service and it should be made convenient. No, I'm not acting like that at all. I'm saying there should be some tolerance and acceptance of of everyone, including children. I don't think they have to be like some sort of subsets society. But why not if you are traveling for business, if you're getting on a plane in New York and flying to LA and you have a meeting at three in the afternoon and you want to study up for that meeting and get ready and be fresh and clean and somebody says, hey, for $25 actually, you can sit in front back. Who cares? Some section of the plane. Isn't that essentially what first class is? Are you saying that we should do away with first class? No, because that segregates people. It's the same argument like that segregating the wealthier, more successful frequent flyer type people from the ones in the back. Well, they're paying for an extra ticket. So if you could pay to

be in a special section saying that an extra 25 bucks and go, hey, would you agree to that, Joe? In an extra section for what to be with kids or to be with the family. That's what first classes anyway. Yeah, but I think what birds saying is, you know, first class is a $2,000 ticket. If there was a segregated plane, what Jeff is saying is there's a segregated plane where there's a family section and the people who didn't have a family had to pay extra to be away from the families. I mean, why would you have to pay extra? Pay extra fine. Yeah, 25 or what if you could just request it? If the seats are available, if it's like, if you're traveling with small children, the following rows are unavailable to you. You're Sue. Good morning, Sue. You're on the birch. Hi, I was thinking that if they had a section that would be more comfortable for the kids than the whole flight would become more comfortable for everyone else. I would think the families would want it. I think the kids would want it and families would want it to be around each other to be around each other. Seriously, there would be so much relief for me as a parent knowing that I'm on a flight next to you other kids that might be out of hand, but that also gives me some sense of relaxation knowing

that if my kids were out of hand, it's going to be okay. You're not going to be judged in the section as harshly. Good morning, Kristen. You're on the birch show. Hi. Hey, I just wanted to comment on the one in five that say that children should not be allowed. I was just thinking that these kind of things always come from people that don't have kids and they're just completely unrealistic. And then what happens when these people accidentally get pregnant from their twin brother's boyfriend? No, I'm just kidding. Baby, I have kids and I'm the one defending parents on the show here. Yet now they're not saying that kids shouldn't fly. They're just saying that they should be banned from some flights entirely. So it would be an adult only flight. You'd have to say 16 or 18 and over. Bands is such a like why why couldn't there be flights that are designated adult only? And I think they should wait in the same turn flights that are family that you know family. When you travel to a resort, there are pools that are sometimes designated as adult only. What's wrong with that? Here is torell. Good morning. You're on the birch show.

Hi, I've got two children and they're now nine and twelve but I've been traveling with my children internationally by myself since my son was like nine months old and there were times where he was the crying child because you know somebody woke him up but children if you put a family with a group that's a family and there's one child that's going off and losing it then you risk the entire section losing it because children feed off other children's emotions. I never thought about it. You said that matter is if it's an extended flight, let's say you are going from Atlanta to London or LA to New York. No child is going to sit still for five to seven hours for that child whether you like it or not is going to get up and start roaming the you know roaming the aisles because you can use that same theory though for the way planes are set up now. If there's a kid that starts crying in row 23, the kid in row 19 that hears it is going to cry and the kid that's in row 14 that hears 19 and 23 is going to do it. So

now it's going throughout the entire plane. This is just saying we'll get everybody in the back. And there are people who don't want to be around children. I mean whether it's right or wrong, there are people that don't want that they don't want to be on a plane with toddlers running up and down the aisles because parents want them to get their energy out you know and so if there are airlines that want to take the chance and say look this is an adult only flight and they charge extra. They're a private company. They have everything to do that. Hey Libby what's up? Yeah well we travel to England. We make a point of going out of Orlando on Virgin Airlines. They are child friendly. They provide that pack to the kids. They have special kid meals. They have kid movies and the experience is so much better than going on a regular airline because they cater to the families. Exactly. They don't segregate them on one part of the plane though. No, no everyone's mixed in but they do have you know macaroni and cheese. They have french fries and chicken nuggets. They have activities for the kids. They make the kids feel special. The flight attendants are always very very caring to the children and it is a wonderful experience because it is hard to have a

kid on the airplane for nine or ten hours. You know when everything is catered to the adults on the plane. Sure. What were you saying when you were dating? Oh we should be on that kid friendly like flight. That sounds fine. That's what that's a flight I would be a part of. Hey Trisha good morning you're on the boat show. Hey I think this is just a little bit ridiculous because children are humans and they're not animals. We don't need to separate them from other people. They're not being stupid away. I do see the fact that there are some people on business. I think they should be the ones that have to go out of the way if there are the ones who have problem with the children. I don't think anybody's saying put them in a cage and put them down. Yeah. I don't know where this has become like time to the wing and let them flap into the breeze the whole way in the destination. This is the virtue. I know the gym's not meant to be easy. Man, can you win sir? Doing it in the dark is hard. Doing it alone is hard. Doing it cold is hard. Doing it when you don't want to is hard. Even doing it when you do is hard. Doing it when it's too early for this is hard. Doing it when

there's every reason not to is hard. Doing it again and again and again is hard. And we wouldn't want to be doing anything else. Gym shark. We do gym. You want to talk about pressure? Try having millions of people watching and waiting to see what you're going to do once that ball hits your hand. Hey it's Marcus Allen, pro football Hall of Famer NFL MVP and Super Bowl Champion. And this season I've teamed up with Underdog because they know how to make watching football a whole lot more interesting. You make your read, you commit and then you find out that's competition. And Underdog has a game that puts that decision making to the test. It's called Keep Your Million. Underdog starts you with $1 million in funds and gives you 20 player prop questions. You decide how much to put on higher and how much to protect on lower. Whatever lands on the winning side stays alive. Your job, make it through all 20 picks without hitting zero and see how much of your million you can keep. I like that because it's not just one decision you've got to manage the pressure, trust your read and then do it again. Think you can handle the sweat, download Underdog

All right, Jeff has to hop on a plane here in a couple of minutes so let's wrap this thing up. The time has come to crown the best all around player in Scrabble. It's the first Bird Show Scrabble challenge. Let's find out who on the Bird Show is the best player in Scrabble. All right, this really all started yesterday when Wendy and Melissa confessed that when they're playing words with friends, which is a Scrabble on your iPhone basically. And I bought touch. Is an app? Yes. It's an app that's they've been cheating. There's a website or an application they've been using to cheat on that game. And at different times they have both beat Jeff over the last couple of weeks on words with friends and Jeff just found out yesterday that they've been cheating. And he's been living with these losses for the last couple of weeks. It just

ego hasn't been able to handle that. It's been tough. It's been really tough. So there's been tremendous relief yesterday when he found out that they only won because they were cheating. So it was Jen's idea to bring in a classic Scrabble board in studio this morning and we'd go all school on it. No, no, no applications, no smartphones. Let's go all school. So throughout the morning, this has taken us four hours now to get to this point. Melissa and Wendy and Jeff have played old school Scrabble. Jeff has taunted Melissa and Wendy the last 24 hours. I think I've taken most of the crap. He hasn't salted your intelligence. I do think you are correct. Quite a bit. And Melissa, he's taken a couple of shots at his well. Yep. To reading quote unquote. I'm getting to the point of being offended by that, but we'll talk about that later about using the word disability. By y'all using that as a joke. So yeah, Jeff, you're sure. Any here. So here we are four hours now into it.

And we're going to have to wrap it up. And the end of the round has been ended. So it has now been the game is not over. But the round is over. The game round doesn't count. That's like, let's just say really, what if this is? If the score is around somebody's out of letters. So it's done. Well, the round is over. Jeff has to leave. So you have to end it where it stands. Where it stands. What do you don't? It's like ending a game. It's raining. We don't end the game in the fourth inning because it rains. But if you're in the seventh inning, like we are, it's an official game. We're not in the seventh inning. We are in the seventh inning because you got to leave. If you didn't have to, the game can continue on Monday. Do you think that if you have, because either way, the game would have ended in one hour. So you think that you could make a comeback in one hour? Absolutely. No way. Oh, we need to say, we don't even know the results are yet. So producer Joanna has been monitoring this game very closely in a way that Jeff's almost been offended by this morning just to make sure nobody was cheating. And as it stands right now, we went through what seven rounds. Yes. About. Yeah. Which is seven, which is seven innings and baseball. Seven innings makes it an official game, right? Well, Wendy is the winner. Wendy what? Wendy is the leader after seven round.

Let's say it properly. How many points does Wendy have? 118 points. What 18? That's all good right there. Nicely done. Here is it ready for this? Yes, ready. Second place. Jeff Dollar. Really? Yes. By 77. Can you say that again and can one person in the room be somewhat happy? Let's try it again. Okay. Second place. Jeff Dollar. Jeff Dollar. Congratulations. There's one person. Great job. Actually, you know what? I'd rather go back to everybody being miserable because one person clapping for you is like that. You're pretty. So you get my mom when I played pitcher in the T-volume. But not by much because Melissa had 75. And he had 77. Oh, two. Was there anything looking back at it now, Melissa? Was there any word that you could have stretched for two more? Because one thing about Scrabble's also tiles and I just, yeah, I squeezed as much as I could out of my tiles. I'm glad you said that because it's obviously Wendy got very fortunate with the tile draw. I skipped my first turn. Right.

Because I didn't have good tiles. That's right. In retrospect, that was probably a good move because I really did do it. Anyway, Wendy beat you, Jeff. I did well with mediocre or poor tiles. Hey, Joanna, how many points did I beat, Jeff? By. I mean, anyone put me on the spot again with the math. You've had 20 minutes to put it together. I mean, I didn't know that question was great. I had 118. How many did Jeff have 77? What is it? I believe I beat you by 41. 41 points. 41 points. That's that's your your cheat word. QI plus 10 points. Oh, see? Oh, look out. And the game's not even over. Melissa, when you give him, see, Jeff didn't play a lot of organized sports growing up. So he doesn't understand how to lose in a good way. So you I said congratulations to Wendy. I said congratulations to Jeff. Well, played. If the game was over, I would congratulate the winner. I do want to point out what he's also an only child. And I do want to point out. I do want to point out that this was an authentic scrawble game. It was right here next to the microphones. Everybody can see us playing. It was no cheating and Wendy won by a landslide using

no aids. She had no dictionaries. She had nothing. She did not cheat. And she's the authentic winner. I would like to do some thank you. Thank you to my mom and grandma. This game I was a kid and never let me win because they were so good at scrawble. So I would like to thank them. Good for you on the pedestal today. Good. Nicole, good morning. You're on the virtual high. Good morning. I'm just going to remind Jeff that this is his fault. He is the one he made Wendy read the dictionary. That's right. That's right. It's probably helped her in the log. Yeah. Crap. So Jeff, can you say congratulations once the game ends. The game is over. The game's not over. It's over. It's the official referee. I'm tired. That is not no. Sorry. It started raining. Look, we could continue to play. You're the one that's got to go. There is it. Put a tarp. I think you should inject him from the show and then he has to wear the more suits. You definitely have one yellow card. One more and we got to boot you. I'm just saying, put a tarp over the game and we'll continue it when the weather clears. It's over. You're going to have to live with this. You have to be careful. You have to be careful. If you continue this game,

you will come in dead last. So you better take what you can. I am. Wendy, congratulations on getting better tiles than Melissa and I. Oh, and that's jacked up. Wendy, congratulations. 41 points. Congratulations. That was a spanking right there. Actually, no, it wasn't. It was a spanking. I would call it a beating. Back to you. And I accept karma for being the instigator with the cheating website. So I think it's karma I came in last. So I accept responsibility. And I think we can all agree. This is the last time that we fall into Wendy's little manipulative way. I'm no good. I don't understand. I don't understand. I just don't talk about the game. I'm just going to sit quietly. We don't trust you anymore. There you go. Congratulations, Wendy. Thank you. Yes, good job. The virtue. Everyone wants to know the secret to staying consistent in the gym during winter. Truth is, there is no secret. We just adapt. We try new things and find new ways to do the old

things. We take it one step at a time and we move forwards. We take outdoor workouts indoors, or take our training partners outdoors with us. We find ways to do the things we've always done. Because strength isn't seasonal. It's non-negotiable. Jim Shark, we do Jim. Don't please don't tell this guy. I know it's easier. He sounds sure. But listen, you don't want to chase another guy's picks, man. You should see the way he dresses. It's all a monthly subscription where he gets his clothes chosen for him. That's the guy you want to make the pick after. No, the picture be yours. Do something you actually believe in. And if you're on underdog and you lock in, you can let him chase your tail. Now you're a dog. Underdog. Make your pick unleash your dog. Terms may apply. The virtue. Jeff is back from Las Vegas. You look really way too good to be just off of a plane basically from Vegas. It's a little

disappointing. I'm not feeling you're coming in here with stories today. I actually somehow did Vegas properly because I stayed told Monday just because the plane fare was less expensive. Like to come home because I kind of booked close to the last minute. It's just crazy expensive to go Friday to Sunday, but going Friday to Monday saved like 300 bucks. So I did the Friday to Monday thing and kind of ran out of steam on Sunday night. So I was at Sunday into Monday. Literaries slept like 10 hours in a hotel bed. He's great. Awesome. So and let you do that. I know. I would think somebody would knock on the door after like four hours and go, Mr. Dollar, you're down. You need to be down at the pool. But I had like I, you know, there were enough Vegas things that happened during that time. Like at one point, somebody who had checked out earlier and was supposed to be in the right eye, but ended up switching to my Monday flight. That dude had his stuff in my room. So like, I'm kind of asleep on the bed. Like, you know, on top of the covers, like cell phone, I was Texan Jessica. So

the phone was still in the hand or whatever. And all of a sudden the door barges out. Oh, actually, no, all of a sudden from the hallway, I hear someone yelling my name because he had forgotten what room. I was saying, so I go, hello, yell it. And then he comes in, gets the stuff, you know, whirlwind goes back out. And then like three hours later, I wake up to a guy in the hallway, yelling at his girlfriend who lost a hundred dollar chip somewhere. That should be standard. You know, then like three hours after that, somebody who's like, dude, they won't let me bring the bear up the elevator. Right. Then somebody else who is a yelled back, put it in your pants. So they were negotiating that down the hall. But I brought back the gifts everybody wanted. All right. So yeah, some people couldn't, I couldn't, couldn't really participate. So I offered in bird because I had to cut out some people birds. Good thing. I didn't waste that $10 on

Georgia State saying they lost it all this week. All right. Bear release in the early in the season then later. I had to cut out early on Friday. So I just sent an email and said, hey, everybody, I'm going to, I'm going to leave early to catch my flight. But I'm going to make a $10 bet, you know, for y'all. It's a thank you. So Melissa, you asked for Ohio State. There you go. I just feel like a sell out that a little bit. And I also have a ticket for Texas too. So I got a high state in Texas cover. But you're a Tennessee fan. So that doesn't, that doesn't just feel good. I know. I love them. But we can't even beat number seven. So, uh, and then Jan Florida. You didn't know. Okay. I was going to say there's no way. I said, Jen's like turning. No way you can do that for your Florida State fan. Thank you. You're welcome. Uh, what I said, you get on Florida State, by the way. I'd to win. I don't know how to read this ticket. I can't read it over there. What is it? Uh, isn't it plus eight plus 800? Oh, 250 to one. 250 to one. That that makes sense.

I don't know. I don't read it. 250 to one. I can't be. Uh, Wendy, even though you never responded to the email, which is now starting to annoy me that when people try to give you things, you never accept them. Uh, I still got you a Florida ticket. Oh, thanks, Jeffrey. Uh, I got to break my hands because I depressive on tour. I mean, it's a winning team. Rose. It's a team that won this weekend. I'm sorry. South Florida. Whatever. I would like to say, okay, let's see what happens this weekend. It's getting all angry at each other. They play each other this weekend. Uh, some Tennessee. Yeah, we'll say that's what I should have done is put money on that game. Is that game in Florida or Tennessee? Tennessee. Okay. Yeah. Uh, and then I'm not sure my dear. Uh, I got a, I got a breeze for myself to win the World Series. Nice. Nice. Uh, I got a carls another one who didn't respond because, but we learned that he thinks white people are too generous. So he probably didn't take it was real, but I made a hawks to win the NBA finals for him. Awesome. Oh, the odds on that. You must have got great odds. 25 to one. Really? Okay. Uh, they have odds on whether Joanna will get

married or not. You should have put the bet on that. What would happen? No, I'm just kidding. Sometimes they're so far. Sometimes they're so far fetched that they won't. They won't. Yeah. Uh, Natalie, the smartest one of the bunch responded and just wrote, may I just have the $10? Yes. So here's your 10 bucks and then, uh, for you, uh, Pajra is doing the World Series. Oh, thanks. What kind of odds you get on that? I don't know. I think going to the playoffs. We don't know yet. Actually, they're not the brazer going yet either. Uh, Pajra is where eight to one. Where are they? Okay, that's not bad. Nope. I could still have the bird show. Everyone wants to know the secret to staying consistent in the gym during winter. Truth is, there is no secret. We just adapt. We try new things and find new ways to do the old things. We take it one step at a time and we move forwards. We take outdoor workouts indoors, or take our training partners outdoors with us. We find ways to do the things we've always done. Because strength isn't seasonal. It's non-negotiable. Jim Shark, we do gym.

This is the moment, baby. This is the moment we separate the dogs from the boys. And if you ask me, I only got one question. Do you got that dog in you? Because it's never about the winners or the losers, but it is about the difference between those brave enough to put some action on the game and those who just want to watch from the sidelines, eating off brand pizza rolls. So sit down, lock in those picks, and trust that. Dog in you, underdog. At least your dog. Terms may apply.
