- SAM: Hello, and welcome back to episode four
of our five-day scramble to connect the most American states.
Last episode, Ben and Adam claimed Missouri and Kentucky,
two big additions to their territory,
and now they're primed to start pushing into the Northeast.
Virginia has just entered the board,
and Ben and Adam have Maryland in their private hand.
To claim them,
they're about to board a flight to DC,
which sits right between both states.
Amy and I don't have such an obvious path forward.
Yesterday, we snagged Massachusetts on our way back from New Hampshire,
but we weren't exactly sure where to go next.
We were considering a flight to Seattle to claim Washington,
but we waited too long to book
and got locked out of buying tickets.
Our next best option was Iowa,
which would be a great state for us to pick up,
but all the flights, even connecting ones,
to anywhere even near Iowa were sold out.
The best we could do was a flight to St. Louis
– the airport that Ben and Adam are currently hanging out in –
where we could then start the three-hour drive
over the border into Iowa.
It's not great, but it's the best we can do.
So, let's get to St. Louis.
- Welcome to St. Louis.
- SAM: I can sense them.
- Yeah, well, I can smell them.
I'll tell you that for free.
- BEN: I think that's those stinkers over there.
Makes me sick.
- That's crazy, man.
- This is our damn airport.
- I'm so pissed about this.
I think we should leave immediately.
- Yeah.
This airport isn't cool anymore.
Let's get the hell out of here. - I do wish that we could see them.
- Yeah. We can't.
- Where are they going?!
- I really don't know. I really don't know.
- I can't figure it out.
I'm trying to look at flights out of here.
I can't find... what they would be on.
I guess we'll know soon enough.
It doesn't change what we're gonna do, I guess.
- No.
- There you go. - Thank you.
- SAM: Alright, we're here.
I was thinking, Amy,
I think we might actually be in kind of a rush.
- AMY: Yeah.
- Because I think the flight to DC:
roughly two hours, maybe longer,
'cause they're gonna have to navigate
around all those storms,
like we did, like, our flight was long.
- AMY: Yeah.
- I think there's a chance we can go claim Iowa
before they can claim Virginia,
meaning we can eliminate Alabama.
- They don't know about Iowa.
They don't know it's an option for us.
- Yeah.
- They think we're getting on a connecting flight right now.
- Yeah, in fact, they texted us
trying to coax that information out of us.
- Yeah, it's, "Oh, what flight are you guys getting on?"
- It's like, "Why the (bleep) are we gonna tell you?"
Now we get to wait in a big-ass line.
Oh, this is awesome.
There's exactly one agent working.
I think there are glaciers retreating faster than this line.
- Right, which is a problem with the environment, but...
- SAM: It's also a problem with the Budget rental car line.
Amy, I'd like to congratulate you.
We've now been in this line for 30 minutes.
- (mouths) What? - SAM: Yes.
If not for this line,
we could have made the next claim before them.
- Look, you said a couple days ago and/or yesterday
that you wanted the audience's sympathy.
We must have it by now.
- SAM: Please, please give me sympathy.
(Amy wheezes)
Sam wants you to feel bad for him.
I don't care what you think.
- SAM: (softly) Oh, oh, we just hit one hour!
And while we've been inside,
the majority of their flight time has passed.
- Okay, hello, hello.
We're about an hour into this flight.
Sam and Amy are still at the St. Louis Airport.
They're just, like, right outside of it.
At the... at a rental car place.
Which means two things. It means that they are
almost certainly trying to drive somewhere,
probably Iowa...?
But also that they're—
they must be having trouble, right?
- Do you think it would be faster...
to get to Iowa or the Moon?
- SINGERS: ♪ I try to learn one new thing ♪
♪ about my introverted boss every day ♪
♪ while we travel the country together ♪
- Welcome to day three
of learning one specific thing about my boss
while we travel the country together.
You know, I've found myself wondering sort of like,
will he be upset when he finds out that I was doing this?
And then I found myself thinking,
I don't really know him well enough
to know if this would upset him.
Which is the point.
So anyway, we soldier on.
New day, new question.
And today, I would like to know
whether he sort of harbors any interest, even passive,
in going to outer space.
I don't really think of Sam as that kind of guy.
But at the same time, he loves aircraft.
I think it'd be more about the rocket ship than space
if he wanted to go. But I don't know.
So, let's find out.
- SAM: If we had a good rocket.
- I'm not sure that I would accept the offer.
- SAM: Okay.
- If someone was like,
"Hey, we're doing another Blue Origin,
"but Katy Perry doesn't wanna go back.
Can we put you in a wig?"
I'd probably be like, no. - SAM: But the Blue Origin thing
is such a tease.
'Cause you're in space for like three minutes.
- Yeah, you don't— yeah,
and you don't even get to go to the Moon.
- SAM: No.
- But I don't think I would wanna go to the Moon.
- SAM: It's kinda far. Long trip.
Amy, we've reached an amazing point.
At which there's no one in front of us in line.
Ready for us.
We wanna add you as a driver?
- Sure. - Amy, this is a long drive.
- RENTAL CAR AGENT: Wait, are you married?
- Nope. - No.
- RENTAL CAR AGENT: Okay.
- Would that help?
- AGENT: Okay, so your Ford Escape is right out the door.
- Great, thank you so much. - Awesome, thank you very much.
- AMY: Okay, we are, despite it all...
- Moving!
- In a car!
- Under 90 minutes, in and out.
- Gotta be a record.
We're gonna figure out whether it's in our interest
to claim Iowa or South Dakota first.
- Well, we can analyze that.
- We're gonna analyze that.
But for now, we are going
to get the hell out of the St. Louis Airport.
We're happy, we're excited,
and we are going to win.
We know who we are. - Yes!
- We know what we're capable of.
- Yes.
- The boys are back. - The boys are so back.
- (squeals softly) Yeah!
(Ben sighs gruffly)
- What are they up to?
- BEN: Welcome to Washington, DC.
- We're actually technically in Virginia.
- In the time that it took us to fly from Missouri to DC...
- They basically just rented a car.
- Yeah.
- Surely they're going to Iowa, right?
And South Dakota's on the map,
so you can connect Iowa with that.
It's kinda tricky, but...
I mean, look, if they can get Iowa
and one other thing and connect it all to Canada,
that does put 'em back in the game, I will say.
- SAM: River!
- AMY: The wonderful Missouri River.
- SAM: Mississippi River tributary. We love that.
- Look, the simple truth of the matter
is that we're gonna be in the car a long time.
You— Do you wanna throw out a take
to fill some time?
I need to— You gotta pick—
- I don't think The Lion King on Broadway is that good.
- Whoa!
- 'Cause the animals,
you can tell there's a human in them.
- Yeah, that's the magic of theatre!
- No! If theatre's good—
- Oh my god, when they have the giraffe
who has the big hat on - The magic of theatre—
- and then they're like— - The magic—
- No need to focus on them for right now, though.
We gotta do our own thing.
Alright, let's reveal what the Virginia challenge is.
- Here is the Virginia challenge.
- SAM: Identify a president at a president's birthplace.
Virginia is known as the Mother of Presidents,
being the birthplace of eight US presidents.
Go to any presidential birthplace,
where one team member will randomly generate a president.
They may then select and read aloud
three sentences from their inaugural address.
The sentences do not have to be consecutive,
but they may not include names or years.
The other partner must guess the president.
They're allowed to consult the Wikipedia list of US presidents,
but no other information.
They get one guess.
If this challenge is failed,
they may attempt again at another presidential birthplace.
- I do actually think we're gonna have to rent a car
and drive to... - Yeah.
- ...potentially James Monroe's birthplace.
- Yeah, we gotta drive—
get out into Virginia a little bit.
- Not ideal.
I have not yet been able to find a rental car
that will let us drop off in Baltimore.
I think that the move is:
get this car for cheap.
- And then— - Drop it off here, same day.
It costs us basically nothing.
- Hop on a train. - Then we can take the train up.
- I think that makes sense to me.
- ADAM: I have a reservation for Chase.
I just made it.
- RENTAL CAR AGENT: Take any car (indistinct)
- Okay. - BEN: Thank you.
Tell you what. That was a very efficient...
- Very efficient. - car rental experience.
- Not like in St. Louis.
- (chuckles) Not like in St. Louis.
- And not like seemingly what they just experienced.
- But I can see a whole ass human
in the elephant. - Is it not different than reality
that a human would move - No! Because I can tell that that's
- so similarly to an elephant? - a human wearing an elephant suit.
- It's so legit— - Magic— Magic—
- BEN: ♪ Welcome to Virginia ♪
- ADAM: Virginia is for lovers.
- Well, we're off to see the birthplace of James Monroe.
- James Monroe. - What did he do?
James Monroe was the fifth president
- Pretty early. - of the United States,
and the last Founding Father to serve as president.
- Are there any silly facts about him?
- Political cartoonists of the era
struggled to caricature him
because he was so expressionless.
Is that so— I guess it's the— that's the opposite of silly.
- By the way, where are they?
Can we confirm they're definitely going to Iowa?
- David Blaine disappears - And the set is just
- a whole ass car. - a television that just shows—
Okay! That's not theatre. - Disappearing a whole ass car
- That's magic! - is magic.
But you said it was the magic of theatre!
- The magic of theatre!
- I mean, they are headed
straight to the... Iowa border, yes.
- 'Kay. Interesting.
- Welcome to another episode of Amy and Sam's tracker check.
- Does it look like they're in a rental car shuttle?
- No.
They seem to just be in a car normal style.
- Aaah! Sorry.
- No, fair. It's fair.
If they are going to Monroe's birthplace,
they are probably about an hour and 10 minutes away.
We are about an hour and 23 minutes
from crossing the border into Iowa. - Oh, it's close.
- Assuming that we stay on this path.
Our new discussion topic is:
do we try to claim South Dakota or Iowa first?
The reason to do Iowa first is that it's closer,
and we haven't claimed a state in over a day,
and this game is not that long.
- And would get us two new states,
which one of them could be goated with the sauce,
like Minnesota or like Idaho.
There's a world in which, with one of those,
we would want to not waste the time
to go to South Dakota and go straight to one of those.
- The argument for South Dakota is as follows.
- Mhm.
- South Dakota is on the board publicly.
- Yes. - Iowa is a private card.
- Mhm.
- That means that we can protect South Dakota
when they claim Virginia,
but we cannot protect another thing.
So if hypothetically, we claim Iowa,
and Montana or North Dakota flops,
then we can't protect both South Dakota
and that other state.
- It feels risky to effectively tie up what we're doing
until, I'm guessing, midday tomorrow
by driving all the way to South Dakota.
If we do that, we gotta backtrack.
'Cause then we only have a day and a half of game day left.
- I think going straight to South Dakota
is ultimately an act of overthinking.
- I think so. I think it just locks us up too much.
- Yeah. So we are going straight to Iowa.
We are not taking the slightly faster path
direct to South Dakota,
and we're gonna—
- We're gonna freaking nail it.
- And we're gonna freaking nail it.
- What do we have to sculpt again?
Sculpt a butter animal.
Since 1911, the Iowa State Fair
has been famous for its cow butter sculpture,
produced each year from about 600 pounds of butter
to promote dairy products.
Bring a stick of butter to the outskirts of any farm
where animals are visible.
Sculpt that single stick of butter
into the shape of one of the animals you can see,
and post a picture of your creation on social media.
The subject animal may not be in the background of your picture.
The audience must successfully guess what animal you've created.
If you fail, you may re-attempt
after 45 minutes with another animal.
The first thing to research is,
what is the soonest butter acquisition opportunity
across the Iowa border?
- Okay. I'm gonna look into all of that.
We'll see you in Iowa.
- Hell yeah.
- Dude, dude!
- BEN: (chuckles) Yes!
- ADAM: (laughs) Dude! - BEN: "Dream on".
- ADAM: Three wheels, are you kidding me?
"Dream on" with the Disney D.
- BEN: Well, you gotta keep it a little whimsical.
Okay, so...
We do have to decide who's gonna do what.
- Well, which one of us knows more about American history?
- I feel like I went to like, woke school,
where they didn't just teach us about that.
- Surely you also took US history.
- I did not. (cracks up)
- (cracks up) That can't be true!
- I did not.
I took a Bob Dylan class.
- You did what?
- That's a serious fact. - Is that true?
- In high school, I took Bob Dylan class.
- That can't be true. - That is 100% true.
- Your school was made up. - I did not take US history.
I took Bob Dylan class.
To that end, probably best to have you guess the presidents.
- I do wanna say, Ben,
I am nervous about this challenge.
It might be fine.
- There's definitely a luck component.
- Yeah.
- I mean, I think that if we get this on the first try,
we almost definitely will complete it before them.
Which is good, 'cause then we could really save—
- Try to mess with them, and we can try to save some stuff.
- Save Alabama.
Try and get rid of, you know, South Dakota or...
- SAM: Choo-choo!
- AMY: Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga.
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga!
- SAM: I like trains.
Getting close to the border.
Realistically, I think they're getting through their first attempt
before we get to the butter. - Correct.
They are nine minutes from the Monroe birthplace.
- Okay, that's even tighter than I thought.
Border. - AMY: Border. Border coming up.
Hey, Sam.
- SAM: Hey, Amy.
- AMY: Welcome to Iowa-aaa! (squeals)
Welcome to Iowa, Sam!
- Freedom to flourish.
We're gonna fricking flourish in here, Amy.
- AMY: We're looking for places you could buy butter,
and we're looking for farm animals.
- SAM: Okay, this is not looking like butter town yet.
- ADAM: Birthplace of Monroe.
There you have it.
Oh, it's just this. - BEN: Here we are.
- ADAM: A humble house.
- This is not...
...the most popular tourist attraction.
- ADAM: They gave birth to James Monroe right in there.
That's where they did it.
- They popped him right out.
- ADAM: I'm just gonna set this up here for you.
Here's the deal.
You generate your number,
do your research. I'm gonna go over there.
- Yep.
- And then just call me over when you're ready.
- Yep, will do.
So, let's generate our president.
We really gotta hope that this is an iconic enough president
that Adam can get it just off of these sentences.
Otherwise, I think that basically
he's just gonna have to estimate time period.
Okay, our president is...
...Chester A. Arthur.
I don't know that Chester A. Arthur is...
Let's see what we can do with his inaugural address.
This is interesting.
Chester A. Arthur became president
after an assassination,
and he's really harping on this assassination thing.
Which I guess I would be, too, if I was assuming the presidency
after my president was killed. I guess that's fair.
- Okay, we found a gas station/ pizza restaurant, Casey's.
It looks like they maybe would sell food.
I'd like to know if they sell butter.
- I think you should put on
a thick Midwest accent, you know?
- Well, I didn't really think I had a thick Midwest accent,
but then people who watch this show said I did.
Representative.
Human person.
Can I talk to a human agent representative human?
Hi.
I was just wondering,
do y'all happen to sell butter in the store?
Thank you, bye.
They used to, but they don't.
He said check Dollar General across the street.
- I love the detail.
Was that your Midwest accent?
- No.
- That was— - That's just how I talk.
- I will summon Adam now.
Okay, Adam?
- Yes, I'm here.
- Welcome back. - Okay.
- And again, you can look at a list of...
- I can. Yep. - presidents.
You know, their orders.
I will just give all three to you right now.
- Okay.
- Here is your first sentence:
For the fourth time in the history of the Republic
its Chief Magistrate has been removed by death.
- Oh, well that seems like a very significant hint.
- It's a pretty good hint.
Here's your second sentence.
All the noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor
(hyper-fast speech)
Long-ass sentence, but it is one sentence.
- Okay.
- The last sentence is:
The gloom and anxiety which have enshrouded the country
must make repose especially welcome now.
- Okay.
So it's the fourth time
that a president died.
He did— It did not say that they were killed.
It said that they died.
It said that it was a very brief administration.
My first thought is
it's the guy that came after William Henry Harrison.
I should be able to figure this out.
George Washington did not die in office.
I'm just going through 'em.
George Washington didn't die in office.
John Adams didn't die in office.
Jefferson didn't die in office.
Madison didn't die in office.
- Look, it's Fort Madison.
- AMY: Sure.
- SAM: Dollar General. - AMY: Alright.
- SAM: They better have butter.
- AMY: If this place doesn't have butter, we riot.
- SAM: We've been told they were there. - AMY: The guy at Casey's...
told us there would be butter here.
You know, technically a human is an animal.
- SAM: You're so right.
Dairy.
- Sour cream. - Cheese.
- Butter, butter. - Butter, butter.
- Butter, butter, butter.
- SAM: Okay, now we need a sculpting device.
I'm gonna look for a sculpting device.
We're in the tools section.
Amy, I got a baking sheet.
Do you think it'll be good? - Sure.
Well I got these metal cuticle scissors.
I think between everything we're holding here,
we should be able to do
what we need to do. - SAM: Yeah. I think let's do it.
- You wanna take the over and under?
Or over-under on 90 minutes for this line?
- SAM: Mmh.
- Van Buren, no.
Harrison, yes. So that's one.
So it's not the guy after Harrison. So not that guy.
Zachary Taylor did die.
That was the second president to die in office.
Lincoln did.
So it should be the next president to die in office
to the person after them that did not die.
Johnson didn't, Grant didn't,
Hayes didn't, Garfield did.
Okay, Ben...
I'm ready with my guess.
I believe that that speech was given
by Chester A. Arthur.
- Well done.
- Yes!
- I mean, it's a pretty good line.
That's Virginia claimed, baby.
- That's Virginia claimed. That's a big one.
Let's call them.
- AMY: Oh, (bleep) - No, 'cause it—
♫ ("Bad to the Bone" piano ringtone)
- AMY: Adam's calling.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi.
- We've claimed the great state of Virginia.
We're here at James Monroe's birthplace.
- We're so happy for you. - Okay.
- Here is your next state.
- Take your time.
- I don't even want it.
- Buc-ee's wild card. - Buc-ee's wild card?
- That can't be good for them.
What do we want to eliminate, Ben? I actually don't know.
- No, I don't.
Well, I mean, probably Iowa.
- Well, Iowa's not on the board, man.
- Oh right, Iowa's not on the board.
- I'm gonna go South Dakota.
- Leave it alone!
- We're leaving her alone. - Okay.
Maybe Utah, maybe Oklahoma.
No, not Oklahoma.
I think you could get Oklahoma. - Okay.
Oklahoma could work for us.
- If you wanna make a decision.
- Let's go...
...Utah.
Yeah, Utah. Utah's going.
- They got so much stuff going on. - Okay, you ready?
- North Dakota.
- She's the north one. - Well...
- There's another Dakota for you.
That's not great. - That's not great for us.
- That's interesting.
- Bye. - Bye.
What the hell?!
(giggles) - Ugh.
- God, remember all that talking we did
about how the exact nightmare scenario
was North Dakota coming up too early?
We couldn't have done anything. - We couldn't have affected that.
- That wasn't regret. This is just me being frustrated.
- Here's the thing. Let's get back to the car,
let's start driving back to the airport,
and let's talk about this on the way.
- Okay.
So, heading back to DCA.
Here are the states that the Buc-ee's is good for.
Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky...
- Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, Texas.
The only one that could even possibly be helpful
is Colorado. - We're too far north.
We've gone above the Buc-ee's line.
- So really, the relevant ones for us
are South Carolina, Florida, Texas...
- And Alabama. - And Alabama.
- They're all solid options.
This doesn't mean that we don't wanna go for Maryland.
I think we definitely still wanna go for Maryland.
- Yeah. - It's right there.
North Dakota, though.
- That's a little bit tough.
- North Dakota's kind of interesting.
It's just really far.
- We're already doing the Iowa challenge.
We have to finish it, and then we have to move on,
because we need to claim Iowa.
- Well, we don't need to do it yet.
'Cause we don't wanna give them
the additional optionality of their decision today.
- That's true, 'cause right now they have to get
to Oklahoma or Alabama. - Yeah.
Which, what was interesting to me on that call
was that they were considering eliminating Oklahoma,
which is not what I would've suspected.
That indicates that - Yeah.
- they were not intending—
- They're definitely trying to stay east.
- Maybe this is an indication
of what their secret cards are or something.
- I mean, look, when we complete the Maryland challenge,
we'll just have to take out one of the Dakotas.
- Yeah. And we'll be able to. So that'll be fine.
Unless they claim one of them first,
but I doubt they do.
- I don't think that's gonna be possible.
- What's worth pointing out, South and North Dakota...
- Out there.
- They're big, empty states.
- AMY: Okay. - SAM: Some sculpting.
- AMY: Hello from the wide open blue skies of Iowa.
- SAM: Gawr-geous!
And they're still definitely heading to the city, right?
- Yeah, as far as the tracker's—
- Wait. That's not a cow over there, is it?
I think those are animals.
- AMY: Oh, those are animals. - SAM: Yeah, okay, should I—
I'll take this exit.
(Amy hoots)
- AMY: Slam those brakes, Sam! Welcome to cow city!
- SAM: It's sculptin' time, Amy.
- It's literally sculptin' time.
Well, it said come to the outskirts of a farm.
- SAM: Moo!
- AMY: Hi, cows! - SAM: I think here is good.
- AMY: They're looking at me.
- SAM: Alright. - AMY: Wow.
- SAM: Shall we sculpt? - Yeah.
Oh, I'm really charmed!
Whoever's farm this is,
I really like what you have going on with your guys.
- SAM: Kinda looks judgmental.
- AMY: That one has the soul of an artist.
- SAM: Okay, what's the strat?
- I'm gonna try to kind of press this one
into the shape of the cow's face and head.
(cow moos)
- SAM: Oh, he said the thing.
(both wheeze)
- This is the best day of my life.
- SAM: That's good. - I'm having a lot of fun.
(cow sneezes)
- Oh, boy. - Bless you.
- Adam, I have a snack.
I— Well, I don't want this to be a Snack Zone.
I just— I feel like it would be weird.
I found MrBeast jerky.
- Perfect. - At the airport.
It's MrBeast flavor.
- Yeah, this is just Jack Link's beef jerky.
- Made with 100% real Beast.
- SAM: Or girl. I don't really know.
No, that's a boy.
(Amy giggles)
- Oh, that— okay. But that's honestly...
(Amy laughs) I feel like you've nailed it.
- Let me see if I can make a quick nose ring.
- Okay.
- 'Cause I've literally only just gotten started.
- SAM: The cows are definitely perceiving us.
- AMY: Maybe this is hubris...
but I think that these cows understand
that I'm a friend.
- SAM: That's pretty good.
- I mean, there's more detail you could add,
but that has to be okay. - SAM: I don't think you need more.
- AMY: I don't think I'm good for using a phone.
- SAM: (chuckles) Oh, sure.
(Amy giggles) I will take you a photo.
I think we can do it, with this.
Alright.
- That was the best time of my life.
- SAM: I think we're gonna wait to post the poll, right?
- Yeah, the challenge doesn't specify
when you post the poll.
It's just the order in which things must be done.
- SAM: The only risk, I guess, of not doing it now is—
- Is if we fail, we—
- SAM: Yeah, but... I don't think we're failing at that.
- I agree. I did a pretty good job.
- Okay. Onward.
Look at this.
- AMY: I mean, come on. - SAM: Look at this.
- Talk about brighter days ahead.
- ADAM: Ben, look at how cute it is.
- BEN: It is cute. - ADAM: It's so cute.
- BEN: I mean, DC's a very cute city.
- ADAM: This is sort of like the Paducah of Virginia.
- Alright, let's get to Union Station.
- ADAM: Okay.
- We're here at DC Union Station.
- Okay. We're right near the end of the game day here.
And— - Where's da bois?
- Da bois are at Union Station in DC.
- Ah, that's not where I want them to be.
Because... there's nothing that we can see on the board
that you would take a train to.
That is not awesome
for these boys.
But this is gonna be where we end our day.
Good night! - Good night!
- Oh, wait, they're probably not asleep.
- I bet— No, no, no. - Maybe.
- One of you is watching this in bed.
And go to bed. (smooches) - Good night to you.
(Ben smooches)
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- It's 8 am. - It's 8 am.
It's been a beautiful sunrise here in Iowa.
The land of the sun. - (grunts) Yep.
- It's also International Women's Day.
So let's— Happy International Women's Day.
Any state that Ben and Adam claim
is a hate crime.
- Yeah, I agree.
But I really wanna draw Minnesota.
- We really wanna draw Minnesota real quick.
- And it's gonna be Minnesota. - Yeah?
- And I'm gonna take this card. - Okay.
- Because it's going to be...
(bleep) Okay, but that's actually okay.
- That's pretty good. - Okay, Oregon's not bad.
- It connects to Washington, which means we have
two secret cards played. - Sorry. That was an instinctual non—
it's-not-Minnesota response, but— - Just 'cause it wasn't Minnesota.
But this is— That's a good day five move.
- It could be, yeah.
- Good morning.
- (deep voice) Good morning.
- I can't wait to go to the state of Maryland.
I think it's going to really, really upset them.
- But first, our private card for the day.
Our penultimate private card.
The audience gets to see it first.
And now we get to see it.
Tejas.
Pretty good.
- Texas, of course, connects to Louisiana.
- Okay, well there is a train first thing to Baltimore.
- Yeah. - So let's go to Maryland.
Let's do it.
- Just for what it's worth, Ben...
I do think it's possible that this means
the Alabama card is more valuable to us
than the Buc-ee's card.
- BEN: Yeah, well, 'cause the thing about the Buc-ee's card is,
getting to a Buc-ee's is always gonna be
kind of a pain in the ass.
- It's gonna be a pain in the ass unless you're in Texas.
but now we have the Texas...
- BEN: Right.
- Unfortunately, they probably have
a private card to the north. - Yes.
- I— My hopecore corner for right now...
- Welcome to Sam's Hopecore Corner.
- is that if it was something like Maryland,
which borders— - They would've positioned elsewhere.
- Well, they would've just driven there.
- Yeah, or just done it.
- Process of elimination...
...I kind of feel like it's gotta be Pennsylvania.
'Cause I don't think they would bother with anything further north.
- Let's just assume it's Pennsylvania.
- Let's assume it's Pennsylvania. - I think that's fair.
And let's, I think,
haul our asses to South Dakota.
I feel like if we're waiting to do anything
until we've turned more cards,
we should initiate the challenge now.
- We probably should,
'cause I think they're probably getting on a train regardless.
Okay, and we're good with this photo?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Guys, please respond to our form.
And please do so in good faith.
It's International Women's Day.
- Are you so excited to get on a train?
- BEN: I am. It's been days.
And I'm craving a train.
- ADAM: We're off.
- It's good to be back on a train.
Okay, we're checking out their butter.
- That's really nice. - Oh, that's like—
- That's really nice. - That is a good—
- I gotta believe that Amy did that.
- Yeah, that's— Sam—
- That's really, really nice.
- Sam doesn't have it in him to make that.
- No, Sam could not have made that.
Great work.
- Well, that's a basically, a guarantee on Iowa.
- Yeah.
- Okay!
We're opening up the form.
And...
Yeah, a few hundred responses in.
That's kind of undeniable. - SAM: It's looking good? Okay.
- AMY: That is all... - SAM: Let's go!
- AMY: Cow, bull, cow, bull, cow, bull,
Brian McManus,
cow, bull, cow, bull. - SAM: I never had any doubt.
- So, challenge complete.
Iowa claimed. - Let's go.
- We're gonna kind of pull over
to a part of the road that looks different
and call the boys.
The other boys.
- And pull Minnesota.
Okay, so what do we wanna remove, by the way?
Buc-ee's could be good.
'Cause Buc-ee's is kinda useful to them.
- Buc-ee's gives them a lot of options.
I think that would be our number one.
And then our backup would be either Oklahoma or Alabama.
Oh, hi. - Hi.
- We've claimed Iowa. - That's true. Yay.
- I do wanna— Let's go look at the bulls.
- Wow, congratulations.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We will eliminate Buc-ee's.
- Okay. - Very well.
- So we're gonna draw a new card.
And that card is...
North Carolina.
- That's awesome.
- NC.
- North Carolina, a great state.
- Look. - We love to hear it.
- Bye.
What the hell?!
- I'm gonna commit murder.
- That's big time tough for them.
- You gotta imagine that they were really hoping for Nebraska,
or maybe for...
- I mean, Min— - Kansas.
- Minnesota would be great for them.
- Well, no. Well, Minnesota, they basically need Minnesota.
I guess I've just been assuming that they have Minnesota,
but maybe they just don't.
They'd better have Minnesota, man.
If they don't, they're in trouble.
If they can connect Illinois to Canada,
they're totally back in it.
If they can't, they're done.
We're hopefully about to claim Maryland.
When we do, we can eliminate one of the Dakotas.
I think that's probably gonna be pretty helpful.
- Yeah.
(snickers) Where are they going now?
- What you wanna do if you're them,
is you wanna claim South Dakota as quickly as possible
so that you can protect North Dakota.
- We need to go to South Dakota, bad.
So, I'm gonna call Budget
and see about changing the rental to...
- Omaha...?
Well, 'cause that—
I guess that wouldn't take us to North Dakota.
- No.
So I guess, let's see if we can return the car in Fargo.
Hi, my name is Amy.
I am currently in a rental car.
I would love to change it to Fargo, North Dakota,
if that's possible.
The location change is $550?
I'm wondering what it would cost
to change the drop-off location to Omaha.
$281 in total,
including the day that we've already spent in the car?
Okay, we'll take that.
No, that's it. Thank you so much.
Have a great day, bye.
- So the change fee for Fargo was $550.
- Yes. They don't want this car in Fargo.
- Whatever.
- We're going to South Dakota. - Okay.
- ADAM: Are you excited to go to Baltimore?
- I am. I love Baltimore.
I am from Baltimore. It's a little fun fact.
And I guess I should explain
what we're going to be doing in Baltimore.
Here is the Maryland challenge.
- SAM: Learn the Star-Spangled Banner.
The "Star-Spangled Banner" was famously written
on board a ship in Baltimore Harbor
during the Battle of Baltimore.
Everyone knows the first verse,
but did you know there are three more?
One team member will memorize one of these verses,
but you may only memorize while you are on a water taxi.
During your attempts,
you must be bombarded with projectiles,
defined as at least one thing
thrown generally towards your head every 10 seconds.
If you fail, you must take another water taxi
before trying again.
- Really, the best place to do this
is the Baltimore Inner Harbor,
so we do have to ride this to Baltimore Penn Station,
and then we'll find a way down to the harbor,
knock it out, and...
...keep on trucking.
- Woo!
Welcome to the great, soon to be our,
state of Maryland, Benjamin.
- BEN: It feels good.
We do have to figure out now a way to get to the Inner Harbor.
- ADAM: This is your town, buddy.
You're in charge. - ♪ It's my town ♪
I think we wanna take buses.
- ADAM: Great. - Let's go.
- ADAM: Ben, tell me some stuff about Baltimore.
- The harbor used to be full of trash,
but then they got rid of all of the trash.
- ADAM: That's nice. - Now you can s—
Now it's full of jellyfish.
- Ooh.
- SAM: Alright.
It's gon— about to be Amy's driving debut.
- AMY: Yep.
- SAM: Oh my god, look at the wind turbine blade.
- AMY: It's huge.
- SAM: That must make so much wind.
Whoooaaaa.
I'm a huge fan of that.
- Cut the cameras.
- Our buses are actually really good in Baltimore.
- ADAM: That's cool. - PA: ...Downtown.
- ADAM: Ben, what's happening?
- I actually— I think—
It looks like the ferries are suspended today.
- ADAM: What?
- They run every 15 minutes, but only tomorrow.
What day is it, Sunday?
- Yeah.
Uh-oh.
For the Harbor Connector...
is limited to Monday–Friday service seemingly.
Look, let's just get there, and we can maybe ask.
But this seems like it could be... bad.
- SAM: Amy's driving.
- Oh my god, the pedals are so far away.
- SAM: By the way, I wanna make clear
that any jokes about Amy's driving abilities,
they're not misogynistic.
- It's International Women's Day, Sam.
- SAM: They're not related to— - I'm a good driver
or you're a bad ally. - SAM: They're not at all
related to her gender.
They're related to the fact that Amy has crashed a car.
- I did not crash that car!
- SAM: Amy...
- I extremely slowly scraped it across the side of a shed.
- SAM: By the way, I have some news.
They're just in Baltimore.
They got off the train.
Which confuses me.
I really feel like they could've just driven there.
And— - I mean, it's free.
- SAM: It's free. - It leaves them more mobile.
- SAM: So anyway,
at least they're gonna have to ride a boat
back and forth a bunch of times.
That sounds really hard. - That sounds fun.
- SAM: That's me right now.
- AMY: Me too.
- PA: 54, 63, 94.
- BEN: Thank you. - Have a good one.
Google Maps says that there's no water taxis today,
but other sources suggest that there are.
- BEN: If there aren't, we're in big trouble.
- I'm gonna level with you.
We've never considered that this was a possibility.
- BEN: No, we did not.
We kinda thought we had Maryland in the bag.
Welcome to Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
- ADAM: Pretty cool.
- What was once a bustling industrial harbor
is now a place where you can get Shake Shack
and look at an old boat.
- ADAM: Do you see—
- There's a water taxi thing here.
- Is there a schedule on here?
Stand there for ti—
See, this says Monday through Friday.
- BEN: Yeah, for this. - ADAM: For this.
But I think that there might be other things.
- There were definitely ferries that ran on the weekend,
but they're not running today.
- ADAM: They're n— They're legit are not running today?
- They're— They are legit not running today according to this.
- ADAM: Why?
- Maybe they're— it's not the right time of year?
- Yeah, see, so what I'm seeing is
out of service for the season on these.
So normally, these would run Saturdays and Sundays.
But not in March.
Wait, wait, wait. Okay, sorry.
Are we— Is it actually the case that we cannot claim Maryland?
Is that an actual true thing that's happening?
- AMY: Moo.
- AMY: We have never seen this many birds.
- SAM: Oh my god. Look at all these birds!
- AMY: That is, at least hundreds
- SAM: Can you see these birds? - AMY: and hundreds of birds.
- SAM: Oh my god, that's crazy town.
- AMY: That's so cool.
- SAM: That is so many birds.
This probably does not come through properly on camera.
- AMY: But it's actually, like, I'm experiencing awe.
- AMY: They're definitely going to complete the Canada wild card.
- SAM: The birds? Okay, yeah.
But we already have Canada.
- AMY: Yeah, in our game.
We're playing human Jet Lag.
They're playing bird Jet Lag. - SAM: Oh. Okay.
- I mean, it has to be a water taxi.
- It specifically has to be a water taxi.
That's what the challenge says.
The thing is, I blame the Google Maps user interface.
'Cause you click on the little thing,
and it shows, like, "ferry", it shows water taxis running,
and in the little fine print it shows...
- "Tomorrow". - "Tomorrow".
So, like that boat there.
That boat, that is not a water taxi.
- No.
- ADAM: What, it's like a ferry?
- It's like a private dining ferry thing.
I've done it before. - ADAM: Okay.
- It's not a water taxi.
(groans)
- Okay.
- Okay, should we just pivot?
We could come back tomorrow. I don't know where we're gonna be.
I don't know if it's gonna make any sense to come back tomorrow.
- Look, every minute that we spend here
is a minute that we lose. - It's true.
It's just more minutes wasted.
- Can we just do one last...
- We can look. - ...triple check?
- We can look, we can look. - Because I just—
If it turns out that there are water taxis running...
- Then we are gonna look really, really stupid.
- Can we go to the Baltimore Visitors Center,
which is right there? - Yeah.
- Is that open? Can we talk to somebody?
- Yeah, maybe they'll be able to tell us.
- Okay, surely they will be able to, at a minimum,
give us a definitive answer.
Hi.
- How are you?
- Are there any water taxis running today?
No?
- Okay.
- Oh, yeah.
- Looks like this is it.
- ATTENDANT #2: No, here it is.
- BEN: Water taxi on-demand.
- Okay.
Awesome, thank you. - BEN: Thank you very much.
Let's go sit down.
Maybe this is something. Thank you.
We have to summon it.
Water taxi on-demand.
- "Book my ride".
- I don't have a good feeling about this.
- No. This app is incredibly janky.
Two adults.
They say it'll cost $2.
It's telling me...
I added a payment method.
Let's try adding a different card maybe?
- This is gonna work.
- We're gonna tip our captain.
We're searching for a ride.
(laughs) We're searching for a ride, baby.
- Pickup at 11:08?
- Really?
- Okay.
Let's go to the Harborplace.
- According to this app,
for the cost of two dollars...
- BEN: And 30 cents.
- The app claims that a boat will be coming
to pick us up shortly.
- BEN: Yeah, in like 20 minutes.
- Do we think that that could possibly be true?
- BEN: It seems basically impossible
that there is a boat in the harbor
that's like, "Ah, Ben and Adam are here."
And two dollars? Well, for two dollars.
- Well, I'm telling you, Ben!
- But that's what it said! - ADAM: What the app says!
- BEN: And it gave us a very specific thing.
It was like, "Yep."
- It even shows a little picture of a boat.
It says, "That's your boat."
- (laughs) We're just gonna have to wait and see.
- This can't be true!
How could it be true that this will happen?
- AMY: Whoa, there's so many of them.
- SAM: How many times do you think we're allowed
to make the same windmill joke?
- AMY: At least one more.
- SAM: This is where they make the wind.
- AMY: Oh?
- SAM: If not for this, we are— we could never have wind and stuff.
So you've gotta be grateful for the farmers out here.
- AMY: Thank you, wind farm.
- You're telling me that a boat
is about to come around that corner
for two dollars to come and pick us up?
- BEN: Sure. - For both of us?
The cost of a normal ferry ride in New York City
is $4 for one person.
- BEN: And this is a private—
- This is a private water— Oh my god.
- BEN: Here it comes.
Water taxi. It just appeared.
- This is nuts. This is nuts.
This has never happened before.
- Good morning!
We kind of can't believe that this service is real.
- Thank you so much for coming to get us.
Do you mind being in our YouTube video in the background?
- I don't mind. Want me to turn the music down?
- ADAM: Oh, that would be great if you don't mind.
- We're doing a challenge where...
we have to memorize the second verse
of the "Star Spangled Banner"
while on a boat in the Baltimore Harbor.
- Alright.
- ADAM: 'Cause that's how Francis Scott Key wrote it.
- (laughs) That's right.
- He sort of wrote it like a pirate.
- ADAM: Ben, I think you gotta lock in here, man.
- Okay, I'm locking in.
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep...
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes...
- ADAM: Totally.
- SAM: They're floating.
- I just wish that we had pulled this challenge,
because I already know the second verse.
- SAM: Oh?
- ♪ America ♪
♪ Second verse of the song ♪
- SAM: Okay.
- ♪ Boats and war ♪
♪ Money and snacks ♪
♪ Making movies they watch everywhere ♪
- It's written in such an insane way.
(Adam wheezes) It's written in such an insane way.
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
- where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
what is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep,
as it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
- Okay, I have a question for you guys.
- ADAM: Yes, please. - Alright.
Are you guys in a hurry to get to Fells Point?
- No. - ADAM: Not at all.
- Okay.
How about we go out to Fort McHenry?
And then— - Fort McHenry?
- Yes, where it was actually written about.
- ADAM: Yes!
- Let's do it. - And then you can do—
- ADAM: Yes!
- Let's do it. - Alright.
- ♪ America's a country ♪
♪ and this is our song ♪
♪ Flag, eagle... ♪
♪ ...stars ♪
- SAM: They skip a couple notes?
- In the second verse? Yeah.
- SAM: Oh, okay.
- ♪ And the home of the song ♪
So, I mean, it's gonna take them a while to remember all that.
- SAM: Yeah, I mean, it's got some surprising bits
that you wouldn't necessarily expect.
But that's not that long.
I honestly don't think that's gonna take them multiple rides.
(boat engine chugging over mouthed voice)
- ADAM: Ben, you look so, epic.
You're sort of giving epic vibes.
- I am epic.
I feel like I've got it.
- ADAM: Okay. - I feel pretty good.
- ADAM: Alright. - Maybe the thing
of you throwing objects at my head
won't be bad.
- ADAM: Do you mind telling the audience
where we are, and why it's significant?
Why did you take us here?
- So, this is Fort McHenry.
If you look behind you...
off in the distance, there's kind of a shady point.
That's where the Francis Scott Key Bridge used to be.
- BEN: Before it was hit.
- Before it was hit. - ADAM: Oh yeah.
- And about half a mile closer to us
from the bridge, where the bridge was,
was where Francis Scott Key was
in a little boat about this size
as a prisoner of war
watching everything happen here.
The last thing that he could tell
if the battle was in our favor
was the flag...
about from the top of that pole, halfway down.
That's how big it was.
That was the only saving grace
that he knew that we had won the battle.
- ADAM: The flag was still there. - The flag was still there.
- ADAM: Ben, whenever you are ready,
I'm gonna have the lyrics here.
- Yep, so you can check me.
- ADAM: I'm gonna throw stuff at you.
- I will be reciting this as a poem,
as it was written as a poem.
On the shore dimly seen
through the mists of the deep...
(cracks up)
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes...
What is that which the breeze,
o'er the towering steep...
As it fitfully blows, half conceals,
half discloses? (snickers)
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam...
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream.
'Tis the star-spangled banner –
O long may it wave...
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
Is that Maeve's book?
- ADAM: Yeah, I ran outta stuff.
Doin' a little bit of product placement!
- Buy Maeve's book.
Buy Adam's girlfriend's book.
It's really good.
- Ben, that is a challenge complete.
- Maryland claimed! - Wow. Beautiful.
That was beautiful.
Thank you so much for your help.
- Yeah.
- We're getting a telephone call, Amy.
(Amy gargles)
- What's up? - ADAM: Hello!
- Look who didn't die.
- So, we will be removing South Dakota.
- No you won't.
- Then we'll remove North Dakota.
- What about West Dakota?
- Yeah, just remove West Dakota. - Nah.
- Okay, we're ready.
This is awesome, Amy. (Adam cackles)
- That was the card I wanted them to draw.
Again. - Awesome. Great.
- I really wanted Pennsylvania right now.
- Bye, guys. - This is great.
- Oh boy.
- Well, we love to see something like that.
- That is where I think we wanna go next.
- Wheee!
- That's obviously what was gonna happen.
- Yeah, you know what? At this point?
It was gonna be Pennsylvania. Of course it was.
- SAM: Nothing— - Maryland was in their hand,
which was better than Pennsylvania. - SAM: Yeah. And—
- So Pennsylvania had to come up.
- SAM: They're, you know, in Baltimore,
which has very frequent trains to Philadelphia
in about an hour.
- Which is a good airport with connections.
- SAM: Great airport. Great airport.
- You might be wondering,
what moves do Amy and Sam even think they still have?
It's a good question.
- We got so many.
We don't even have time to explain to you the moves.
You just wouldn't understand.
We legit got some opportunities.
In a confluence of circumstances,
we could totally make some great connections.
- AMY: And we have been keeping tabs on the situation
and determined that us winning
is still very much a mathematical possibility.
- SAM: I thought it was a mathematical inevitability.
- AMY: Well, it's a spiritual inevitability
and a mathematical possibility.
Because math doesn't understand the forces at play here.
- SAM: Right, okay, yeah.
Math could never understand the forces at play here.
South Dakota.
- ♪ South Dakoootaaa! ♪
Come on!
- SAM: Are we gonna see the big guys on the rock?
- No!
- Okay, so the challenge is we're gonna duel
to the death. - We're gonna kill each other.
- SAM: Kill each other in a duel.
South Dakota has an illustrious history of Wild West gunfights,
including the one that killed Wild Bill Hickok
during a poker game in 1876.
Find a stretch of roads where there are no buildings in frame.
Facing away from each other,
walk 10 paces (at least two feet each).
Without speaking any other words, one player must shout, "Draw."
Within one second, both players must turn around
and throw an object at each other.
Both objects must hit the opposing player.
If they miss, you must wait five minutes before trying again.
- This challenge is a little tricky
because we do have to throw stuff at each other successfully
from a total of at least 40 feet apart.
- Yeah, which is kinda far.
- Yeah, I mean— - However—
- It's eight feet longer
than that covered bridge in New Hampshire.
- However, it doesn't say that...
we can't try to get shot to death in the duel.
- There's nothing about that we can't kind of reach out
and try to get hit.
There's also nothing prohibiting practice.
- Yes.
But for now, I think we should get an object.
- Two. - Two, at least.
Look, it's the Washington Monument.
- AMY: She is following us around!
- SAM: You know, it really looks nothing like him.
- ADAM: Thank you so much!
- Thank you, thank you, thank you. - No problem.
- Alright.
Well, Ben...
- I mean—
- Let's go to the great city of Philadelphia.
- Pennsylvania is primo for us.
Can we just hop on the Am— the old Amtrak?
- We can. We can and we shall.
- We're on our way to Philadelphia.
- Alright, we gotta get on the bus back
to Union Station.
- Good bye, Baltimore. It was nice seeing you.
It was nice that we got to see Fells Point for a minute.
- Fells Point is cool.
- BEN: Fells Point is mega cute.
If you're a cool young person in Baltimore,
you might be hanging out here in Fells Point.
And I am a cool young person, and I'm in Baltimore.
- SAM: Good bye, interstate.
- AMY: Bye-bye, interstate.
- Oh, gun show, March 6th through 8th.
The gun show... is right here, Amy.
(both chuckle)
- Alright, Dollar General time, round two.
- So we need stuff that can fly a good 40 feet.
Oh, Sam.
- SAM: Those are pretty good.
Mm...
Could be pretty good. Dog toys.
- Just checking.
They probably don't go that far.
- SAM: Thank you. - AMY: Thank you.
Now we just gotta get...
somewhere where there's no buildings in frame.
Which I think will be a sub-five-minute drive.
Did you play any throwing sports as a child or teen?
- SAM: No, I specifically played defense in hockey
because I have no hand-eye coordination.
- Okay, perfect.
I played soccer.
- SAM: That's feet stuff. - Yep.
A little farther.
- SAM: I'm sorry it's come to this.
I see no other way.
- We got no other options left.
- SAM: Have we considered going to...
you know, therapy or something?
But that, you have to pay for that.
We already bought our duel materials.
Nah, let's just do the duel.
- Let's just do the duel. - SAM: Yeah, let's just do the duel.
- Let's just kill each other. It's about time.
- So it should be 20 feet in each direction?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Center line.
Camera.
- And we should start as close to this line as possible.
You wanna do some practice throwing?
- Yes.
- Oh, this is hard.
- Yeah, that's kinda far.
- I think let's see if we can do it non-simultaneously first.
- Okay. - Are bounces allowed?
- It didn't say they're not. Like, a bullet can ricochet.
- That's true.
Wind.
These are more susceptible to the wind.
- Yeah, these I don't think are the ones to use.
Maybe we should try turn and throw.
- Okay.
Draw!
- Oh wait, I wasn't ready.
- Draw!
- Okay!
- I think we have a lot to feel good about there.
- Draw!
I'm dead.
(Amy wheezes)
- Okay. - Okay.
- This is going better than I sort of—
- Let's try it simultaneous.
- Draw!
Oh, no! That was way worse!
- Okay, so a lot worse.
This is why we practice.
- BEN: The last time that we were in Baltimore on this show,
all we got to show you was a parking garage,
which is not, you know,
very representative of this very charming city.
This, by the way.
This aquarium, Baltimore Aquarium,
goated aquarium.
And I'm not just biased.
I think it's, like, top three aquariums in the US.
They did this really cool thing right here
where they turned this part of the harbor
into a marsh.
Isn't that cool? - Look at that.
- BEN: And now it's probably full of crocodiles and things.
- Draw!
I died.
Draw!
Sorry, I missed! - Oh, dead!
- Draw!
I'm dead. - I'm dead.
- (claps) Let's go.
Hey, we did it.
- Okay.
- I do think, let's do it for real?
- Okay.
- Sam.
- Amy.
- I believe there's no other way to resolve this.
- I don't see any way
except for, you know...
- Mutually assured destruction. - Channeling our emotions.
Talking through our emotions or anything like that.
But we couldn't consider anything like that.
- No, no-no-no.
This is the Wild West.
- I'm sorry it's come to this.
- See you in hell.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
- Draw!
I'm dead! - Dead!
(Amy grunts)
(applauds) Yaaay!
Oh, he might really be dead.
Sam, are you okay?
- Oh no. Just, sorry. - I didn't mean to do it!
- The ground just felt really good right now.
- Yeah.
South Dakota, claimed.
- BEN: Okay.
Off to Philly.
Ooh.
Everybody's going to claim Pennsylvania.
Hello.
- Howdy. Did you do a duel? - Well, well, well.
- I just done killed Amy to death.
- No! - No, we need her!
- That's terrible.
- Show us some states.
- I'm shuffling them.
You can see that I'm shuffling them. - She's shuffling.
Because she's doing a good job.
- Okay, new card is...
- Okay, yeah.
- Indiana.
- That's interesting. Okay.
- And now we attack.
- Yeah, oh, but you can't take Pennsylvania.
We're taking Pennsylvania.
- Yeah, no you're not.
- In that case, we'll change our whole strategy
and we'll attack North Carolina.
- Fair enough. Very well. - Yeah, fair enough.
- Okay, and now we draw yet another new one.
- Yep. - Yes.
Okay. - Okay.
- Oh my god! (laughs)
- Okay, bye. - Hang up, hang up.
Bye, guys. - Bye.
- Come on!
- You were right. You were right.
Happy International Women's Day, Amy.
Gentlemen.
- Yeah.
- I don't say this lightly. (Adam wheezes)
- I don't say this lightly. I don't wanna overstate things.
You know, I don't wanna be boy who cried wolf.
I don't wanna...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You know.
But in this circumstance,
we are so back.
- You, I would say, are back in a way that's crazy.
- I mean, it was so over. It was.
- It really was! - It was pretty so over.
But now it's so back. - Not so much anymore.
And look, if you wanna hear us talk about
the extent to which it seemed so over,
and the extent to which now they are so back,
why not check out the Layover podcast?
It's our Nebula-exclusive podcast
where we talk about every dang episode of this series.
Amy is, of course, with us this season,
and we will no doubt cover how risky it was
for them to rely on this happening,
and then how— - It worked out great!
- And then how nuts it is that it worked.
- It's crazy. It's crazy what happened.
Anyway. - Anyways.
- Guess what, my beauties?
This week is my week
to tell you about a little recommendation that I have
for you to watch on Nebula, and I'm going to recommend
Tom Scott: England.
It's a Nebula First series. - What does that mean?
- It means that it's out just like Jet Lag: The Game.
We pioneered this technology.
- We invented the idea of this. - We invented this technology.
- Nobody has ever put things out before.
- No one thought of this before. - We invented this technology.
It's out one week early on Nebula. - It's never been done.
- Which means that there is something out early on Nebula right now.
- Whoa.
- And there's lots of episodes of it.
He's doing a video in every county in England,
and it's been going for a while now.
It's got a whiles to go,
and every episode is a banger Tom Scott video.
So go check out Tom Scott: England.
I think you'll like it.
- I like when Tom Scott tells me things.
- Yep. - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah. - Bye.
- Bye.
