So this is unprecedented, but I actually have a few questions for you. Oh, no. Pete, this is exciting. Wait, is this still a game show? Or are we done with that? You can do what you want with it. All right. Welcome back to this. I did it. What famous brotherly duo was the angel and the devil of Chicago's Prohibition Empire? Brotherly duo? Yeah. Elliot and Stephen Ness? I have no idea.

Okay. You want to find a place to drink in Chicago or Boston or New York. What signal are you going to be looking for as you wander around town? I'm going to make a guess and say a green door.

It's fantastic. And the last, oh, I have maybe two more. So this is the reason I got that one question wrong about bringing together things, groups. Races and groups.
