0:00.0	I participated and this is actually going to tie into our other part of the pre-show, but I participated in
0:05.5	the podcastathon, the relay FM podcastathon for
0:09.5	to raise money for St. Jude. We're gonna talk more about that in a moment. And as part of that, myself and handful of other relay hosts
0:15.8	played a relay FM feuding families and we played, you know, a game that might be like a television show you may have seen.
0:22.9	We had various questions, some of which I was prepared for, some of which I was not.
0:26.4	The final question in the feuding families, however, was something that was quite funny.
0:31.4	And I have to ask, Marco, let me start with you. Did you happen to have the chance to see this segment of these, what was it?

1:17.4	Well, I don't know what family feud is about because this definitely was not a distinct.
1:21.4	Definitely distinct, but the idea with feuding families is the relay listeners,
1:27.4	and anyone really could participate with relay listeners filled out a survey basically and filled out free form answers to several different questions.
1:35.4	Then Jason Snell, our game master, if you will, dungeon master since I lost, actually I was very sad.
1:42.4	But anyway, Jason as our game master would assemble these, I think perhaps some other people helped him, but would assemble these answers and pick the top several.
