04:57You've played some stiff competition, right?
04:59Yes, I have.
05:00My team went to pub trivia in Cambridge,
05:02and I was more than a little intimidated to see Maureen O'Neal.
05:05Of Jeopardy fame.
05:06Yes, but when my team of librarians won,
05:09she came over to our table and said,
05:11congratulations, never come back.
05:13Wow.
05:14Threatening the librarians.

05:35or experiencing homelessness,
05:38and it's a place where their pets can be cared for when they can't,
05:42and then it's a lot of fun to get to hang out with the animals,

06:04Yeah, so a long time ago, my dad and I were watching a game,
06:08and we made a bet on a daily double.
06:10I think my dad was so sure I wouldn't get it
06:12that he wagered $80 billion that I wouldn't get it.
06:16That's a very big Jeopardy! wager.
06:17We rarely see an $80 billion wager.
06:19Yeah.
06:20And what happened?
06:21I didn't get it, so I'm in the hole, $80 billion.
