! Win Brooks Box! Woo! Gina from Bremerton is on the phone. She is a new time player to win Brooks Box and says when she plays in the car, she beats you about 10% of the time. Which is interesting, Gina, because that's about how much Brooke respects you as a competitor. 10%. That's not true, Gina. It's all good, Brooke. I haven't met you yet. Gina, you should mean you saved 90% for when you're on the air, baby. There we go. I'm 100% guaranteed to get the participants prize. Yeah, that's true of the consolation. We do have that. I think they're outlawed in some states, actually in participation trophies. We're still offering it here. We're triggering some people out there. We want everyone to feel good. Except for Brooke. Leave the studio. Get out of here. I'm not going to take into account the questions as possible. If you don't know when you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright to win. All right. All right. And there's always that consolation prize if you don't. So here we go. I'm ready for it. Your time starts now. Today is National DNA Day. The DN stands for Dioxy Ribonucleic. What does the A stand for? Half. What animal's head appears on the top of Mary Poppins umbrella? Um, uh, flamingo. Name the type of flowers that Vincent Van Gogh is famous for painting. Hi, danger. Jersey, Belgian blue and Aberdeen, Angus are different breeds of what type of animal? How around since 775 AD, what's the oldest currency in the world still in use today? Gold. Gold is her answer. We'll see if that's right. Brooks going to come back into the studio and it says, Jean, on my screen, or that you've been listening to us for six years now and your favorite member of the show is Brooke. It's Brooke. Girl power. Yeah, girl power. Do you have a reason why? I just said girl power. I love hearing girls' voices and she's super smart. I have a uterus. You don't. I love it. I dare you to assume Jeffrey doesn't have a uterus. I'm going to go to the store and buy one. I got your back, bro. That's really sweet. Thank you. That's really nice. Thanks for listening to us. Now I may throw the game. Couple makes games so far. We'll see you. Gina, you love a cheater. We'll see how strong girl power really is, Brooke. Here we go. Time starts now. Today is National DNA Day. The D N stands for deoxyribonucleic. What does the A stand for? Atoms. What animal's head appears on the top of Mary Poppins umbrella? Parrot. Name the type of flowers that Vincent van Gogh is famous for painting. Sunflowers. Jersey, Belgian blue and Aberdeen Angus are different breeds of what type of animal? Cows. Since 775 AD. What's the oldest currency in the world still in use today? Oh, the, um, yen? Oh, just said that one with a normal voice. Okay, let's go over the scoreboard. Yeah! Let's see what you guys did with Jose. I needed to, uh, to take a dump. I couldn't hold it anymore. Okay. It sounds like me while we're doing the show all the time. Gina, you got one correct today. Oh! That's all right. And Brooke, your favorite person on the show, Gina. That's nice, Gina. She got three! Oh, I'm sorry. Congratulations! Congratulations! I'm ready for my first Vincent phrase. Okay. Let's learn something together about what we did and did not get right. Let's learn. For everybody listening, it's DNA day. DN stands for deoxyribonucleic. The A stands for acid. Acid! Deoxyribonucleic acid. The animal that's on top of Mary Poppins umbrella is a parrot. Oh, good one. It's a parrot head. I could see flamingo though. That was a good answer. Vincent van Gogh is famous for painting sunflowers. Brooke, you were like an art history major? No, just a fine arts major, but I never finished it. Oh, okay. Yeah, sorry. That's how you knew that. I'm a Belgian blue, Aberdeen Angus, all different types of cows. And since 775 AD, the oldest currency in the world still in use today is the British pound. Really? Yeah. There you go. We don't consider gold because you can't just walk in with a bar of gold. It's just safe way and be like, here you go. I felt dumb after I said it, but it's okay. No, I mean it made sense. Gold went around forever. Now, here's the moment that Gina's been waiting for. Yes. Just for playing with us, what we're going to do is send you some Brooke and Jeffrey Swag to get the consolation. Yeah, look at that loser gift. Did I come out? Did I say that out loud? No, we're going to rub it in. It's called swag, okay? Just say swag. It sounds better. I'm taking that. Thank you so much for calling and employing Gina. Make sure you come back and try again, all right? Awesome. Thank you. Yeah, have a great day. We'll do Winbrooks bucks same time tomorrow.
