0:30.6	Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Svini, and we're coming to you from the Jeopardy Studio on the Sony lot in Culver City, California. Now, I've actually never been on that lot. I have been on that lot several times. Not that lot, but that show. I've never been on that set. I had a friend who was on that show, but it's interesting because they have a whole pool of maybe 10 contestants back there, right?
0:55.9	So you know how one of the three wins and he goes to the next day, which is the next half hour because they shoot him all in one day.
1:02.3	And then they pull a lottery and pull the other two out.
1:06.2	So my friend, I went to a taping and watched five episodes of Jeopardy in a row, which is not nearly as entertaining as you would think it would be.
1:12.8	Right.
1:13.3	And he never got on. Oh, yeah. Well. He was, but it was weird to me. It's like, so they're like tense, tense, tense, am I going to be picked? And then he never got on. And then he never got on. And then he never got on. Okay. Okay, okay. Well, tonight's topic is game shows.

And then he keeps with the classic steeler beanie. And I think that's just, he's got the the six rings as your husband says. They had the five rings. So they won for the thumb. when they won the sixth, one for the cock. You know, I'm not married.
