Joining us today for the first time, we've got Amira, who says she knows a little bit about a lot of little things. That's a direct quote from her to our producer. So will we ask questions about tiny mushrooms, about grains of rice, or maybe the buttons on an ant's smartphone? That's so cute. We'll have to find out soon, but Amira, welcome to the show. Hello. Hi.
You FaceTime with ants very often? You know, every once in a while. Amira, I just wrote a joke for you. Do you want to hear it now? Uh-oh. Sure. What do you look at when you want to see how beautiful you look? Amira. I thought you were going to say cell phone camera. Oh, that's... Jeff, you're not good at... So close. Dude, that humor was a miracle.
Hey, I was so much better than my don't upstage me. Sorry. Amir, did we lose you? No, I'm still here. She hung on through all the bad humor, everyone. Don't worry. We'll get to the game for you, Amir. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.

The light, crispy Japanese-style breadcrumbs made from white bread are called what? Yep, nope. Yep, nope. Wow. Should be the new pass. Wow, four for four on passes today. I don't know if we've ever seen that before. I would like a redo, please.
She wants a redo, Brooke. She does? I don't like those questions. She didn't like those. Yeah, well, let's not focus on the questions that just happened. Let's focus on this summer, because Mira, it says you're planning to go fishing, and you fish basically every single day. What are you catching out there?
Well, right now, I caught a lean cod the other day, a couple of bass, but the salmon will be coming through. Are you gutting those things on your own? Oh, I've definitely gutted quite a bit of fish. Oh, yeah. With a knife or with your... Bare hands. Like mouth, bare hands. She's like a grizzly bear in a river during spawning season. She's like Bear Grylls.
I picture diving into the river and coming up with a fish in her mouth. Yeah, that's cool. I don't know. I mean, I've had the guts in my mouth. That's pretty gross. We do not mess with Amira after hearing those stories. Yeah, good point. Thank you, Amira. Now it is Brooke's turn. Yeah. Your time starts now.

I couldn't remember I had it, though. Brooke, you obviously got the dub, and you got two correct. Let's go today, Amira. Sorry about that. It's okay. Next time I'll get her. Yes, you will.

According to Monopoly rules, when you roll three consecutive doubles in a row, then you have to go to jail. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah. We've been playing Hamilton Monopoly at our house. I'm so sorry. Where you have to rap the whole time, like rap sing? Yeah, we do. Wow. Yeah, we do. Whoa. And you buy songs instead of properties. Yikes. Again, I'm so sorry. Yeah. For your whole family. Oh. Oh.
Formal name for a beekeeper. I don't know. Grasshopper. Interesting answer. A lot of people farming grasshoppers out there. People are eating those things.
