We got the sign shop lady back on the phone, Heather from Tacoma, is here to play you once again Brooke. She's one, two and one against you all time. And apparently her new strategy is to try and stay calm this time. Heather, how are you gonna do that? A deep breath. I heard people who make signs notoriously nervous people. Right, yeah, shaky hands. It kind of shocks me that you weren't breathing the last four times that you played. Breathing is a good strategy. Let's send Brooke out of the studio. While that happens, you know how the game works. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you could say pass but you have to beat Brooke outright to win, are you ready? I'm ready, I'm breathing. Deep breath, your time starts now. On this day in 2005, Grey's Anatomy premiered on What Network. Oh jeez, ABC. You would find Grand Teton National Park in What State. Montana. What Safari Animals Name translates to River Horse in Greek. Hippopotamus. What color other stars on the flag of China? Yellow. Name the female artist who had the hit song Since You've Been Gone. Kelly Clarkson. Justin.TV used to be home to what popular video game streaming app? Twitch. Nice. Solid work today, Heather. I mean, I like that answer, sorry. Brooke is coming back in the studio. And I don't know what's the hot sign right now that everybody's getting. No trespassing. Pee over there. What's the hot signage? Yeah, yeah, we get lots of requests for pee over there. Really, really popular right now. What font you use when you make that one? Comic Sans. Yeah, classy. That's a good one. You really can make any sign you want, right, Heather? Yep. Have you done anything weird? No, our shop, we do business to business. So we will get calls asking for plenty of stuff on like cars and things, but we don't do that. We tell people to call other shops for that stuff. Yeah, they're serious. Heather's with a serious sign shop. There's no messing around, okay? Her sign shop, Jeffrey. It's serious business around here. Serious signs. One of my business name is like Fart Co. Yeah, we'll make a sign. Oh, so they're the loophole. Call Heather for your signs, Brooke. It's your turn. Are you ready? Yes. Your time starts now. On this day in 2005, Grey's Anatomy premiered on What Network? ABC. You would find Grand Teton National Park in what state? Nevada. What Safari Animals name translates to River Horse in Greek? Hypopotamus. What color are the stars on the flag of China? Yellow. Name the female artist who had the hit song Since You've Been Gone? Kelly Clarkson. Justin.tv used to be the home to what popular video game streaming app? Twitch. Male kangaroos have pouches. True or false? True. Got our answers in and it's time to head on over to the scoreboard with not so serious Jose. Oh, I love it when you dress up like a nurse. Heather, you did great. You got five correct today. I don't know. I think that Brooke might have got me though. Well, she did get one extra question that you didn't get. And it helped. She got six. Good job, Brooke. A lot of correct answers here. I need to go over the answers. Not that you guys need them, but on this day in 2005, Grey's Anatomy premiered on ABC. Grand Teton National Park. This is the only one you guys didn't know. That's in Wyoming. Yeah. Big old mountains. Grand Teton. I can see it now. The Safari Animals name that translates to River Horse in Greek is a hypopotamus. The stars on the flag of China are yellow. Kelly Clarkson saying the hit song Since You've Been Gone? I feel like Brooke wanted to go, ah, Kelly Clarkson. Justin.TV used to be home to Twitch, which now has over 140 million users. Including me. And male kangaroos have pouches. That is true. But only the females carry their young in them. I figured they were kind of like male nipples. Totally useless. Yeah. But it's like a fanny pack for the guys. We just hold our stuff in there. Six pack of beer in there. It'd be sweet if you had your own human pocket. Well, anything can be a pocket if you try hard enough. Hell, okay. Heather, unfortunately we can't give you any money here. But just for playing, we're going to hook you up with Brooke and Jeffrey Swag. Thank you. Thank you so much for playing again, Heather. We'll be back. We're going to do Winbrooks Buck same time tomorrow. No gloss. No filter. Just stories. Spoken without fear. A person who is not generous cannot be an artist.
