00:00Hello everyone, it's Sunday, May 15th, 2025. I am Doug. It's time once again to play some
00:06connections. Let's see what we've got today. All right, today we have the following. We have
00:13Flute, Madrid, Grounds, Ice, Estate, Powder, Seville, Foundation, Butterfly, World, Reason,
00:24Crust, Slush, Basis, Bess, and Deal. Wow, okay. Hmm.
00:38Um, uh, butterfly effect. Um, wow, there's a lot of possibilities here. Crust, uh, pizza
00:55crust. Um, boy, like, I don't even see four words that fit together for the yellow. This
01:03this could be, we've, we've had a lot of easy ones this week, so now things have just
01:07turned. Uh, foundation, uh, like, uh, in a state, a foundation, um, like some sort of organizational
01:21structure. I don't think that's going to work, though. Um, world, um, I do with Madrid. So
01:36Madrid could be part of wordplay. There's mad in it. There's rid in it. But we just have
01:45right. They don't usually cluster them together. Um, boy, oh boy, oh boy. Um, powder. Uh, snow
02:00could be, like, powder, slush, ice, like, like, um, so, like, uh, precipitation, ice, powder,
02:10slush. Um, but what goes with that, right? There's nothing that goes with that. That's
02:16another close but no cigar. The reason, the basis, the grounds, the foundation. Okay. So,
02:28uh, the cause, uh, the cause of something or the, um, what, some, the why, the why is the
02:42category. Rationale. Okay. And it's the yellow. All right. Good. Um, okay. Big deal. Uh, a
02:58deal. Um, hmm. I still wonder about ice and slush and powder. Again, types of precipitation. I
03:10keep feeling like that may be something here. Crust isn't really precipitation. Um, although
03:19I feel like I want to consider that, but I don't know. A butterfly, um, could mean a lot
03:29of things, right? Um, things that flutter about, uh, things associated with some sort of visual
03:37or something else. Um, possibly. A powder room. Um, a state is interesting. Um, hmm.
03:58A state is not, it, it, uh, yeah, I don't know what to do with a state. I don't know what to do with
04:04any of these. That's the current issue here. Um, Madrid, I don't think this has anything to do
04:09with the actual location. So you kind of almost feel like that's, that's like begging to be part
04:16of some sort of wordplay. Um, I believe at some point Madrid hosted an Olympics. I want to say
04:26that. But I don't, I don't think that that has anything to do with this. Um, the butterfly would
04:36be a type of swimming. Could this be, could, could there be something to do with like athletic
04:43events here? Um, I don't see anything else to do with swimming though, right? Um, so I think
04:52with Madrid you have mad, um, are there any other words that, uh, have something to do with mad or
05:00anger or something? And I don't see that. Um, but yeah, there's going to be some sort of weird
05:09wordplay going on there. Um, Seville is interesting, right? Um, is Seville a location? I feel like it
05:20might be. Uh, Seville and Madrid could be locations, but we don't have two other locations
05:29here. So that's kind of a problem. Uh, Seville is a car make Cadillac Seville. I don't see
05:37other car makes here. So that isn't likely. Um, flute, I mean, uh,
05:50a flute, like a musical instrument. What would you do there? The Pied Piper, um,
05:58flute butterfly. Is there a thing where, uh, uh, someone is blowing a flute or playing a flute,
06:05I should say, and there's butterflies. Is there some sort of visual here that I'm looking for?
06:10I don't think so. Uh, deal. I don't know about deal. There's a million things that could be going on
06:19there. Um, crust, like the crust of the earth, like crust ice. Could this be go with, you know,
06:31maybe this does go with powder slush ice and crust. Let's give this a go. Uh, forms of precipitation
06:36types of snow. Okay. Yeah. We, we, we, we started on that and I think I'll give myself credit for
06:44that. Um, so yellow and green and only green though. So blue and purple still out there. Okay.
06:50Uh, all right. Um, man. Oh man. Um, well, there's definitely no synonyms here. Um, Bess.
07:06Um, um, so Seville, Madrid and Bess feel like maybe they go together. Um,
07:16is it possible that, um, could Bess and deal be places along with Seville and Madrid? Are these places?
07:28No, and it's not one away. So I'm not even close on that. Okay.
07:31Uh, world could be part of a phrase. In fact, maybe there's a phrase to be had here. Good deal,
07:42bad deal. Um, flute. I don't know what goes with flute. I don't know what goes with Seville
07:51other than Cadillac. I don't think that's it. Uh, car is your grandpa. I don't think that
08:01there's anything there. Butterfly could be so many possible things, right? Um, world. Ah, boy. What,
08:10what do we do here? Parts of titles, uh, parts of a TV movie book, um, a state, uh,
08:25has state at the end. No, don't think that's it. Uh, butterfly effect. I keep coming back at them
08:35from the movie butterfly effect. Um, boy, oh boy, oh boy. I got to come up with something here. New deal.
08:44Um, something you execute in a state. Um, a world could be a, a unit of measure around the world,
08:58world class. Um, in New England, there was a, uh, franchise of restaurants called best eaten
09:10donuts. Completely random. I doubt that that has anything to do with this. Um,
09:16wow, boy, oh boy, oh boy. I got to come up with something here. Um,
09:25the world,
09:27what would be any kind of even loose connection here? Uh, is there any kind of wordplay that makes
09:37any sense here? Um, add a letter, take a letter away? Uh, well, what, take a letter away? Maybe
09:45flute, loot, um, flu, uh, could we have homophones here? Bess. What could best be? One letter away from
10:02something else? Uh, could they be, could that be it? Um, Seville, like these are the kind of things
10:11like Seville makes me feel like there's some sort of like, there's some weird wordplay. Maybe we change
10:18a letter. Um, but I can't think of what you would do with this to make it a different word
10:27that makes sense, right? Man. Um, I keep coming back to like places like Madrid, like world Seville
10:37are just like places. Uh, um, but there's only three,
10:47a flute, a butterfly, like something where there's a scene, right? Maybe in a state,
10:55a bass, uh, some sort of painting or scene or famous scene. One away. Okay. So butterfly flute
11:09bass. Uh, could it be in, could it be a famous scene in Madrid? Could it be a painting or a scene
11:17located in Madrid? Is that what's going on? One away? Um, so a state in Madrid both got me to one
11:30away. So is it Seville? This is my last licks and I, I, I've got nothing. Uh, some sort of scene
11:37last. Oh, wow. So I don't get the point on this. That was just dumb luck. Last words of famous,
11:47opera titles. I don't know what opera title ends in best, uh, or butterfly or flute or Seville. So
11:57that was dumb luck. No point. But now we're down to our last category. It's the purple
12:01world. Madrid estate and deal. I have absolutely no idea. I'm going to wave the white flag on this
12:13one. Humbled. I'll take my two points. What the heck is this?
12:19Oh, well, hold on. So real blank, real world. That's a reality TV show, real deal, real estate,
12:30and then real Madrid. So that one, I don't know what the meaning of real Madrid is. I would have
12:39never gotten these other two categories. I'm happy to concede that I'll take my two points.
12:44Who would have been here all night? No one wants that. Uh, so very interesting. I'm sure you'll let
12:48me know in the comments what a real Madrid is really fascinating, but nonetheless, interesting.
12:55See that? And then we just, when you start getting cocky back, all these are all easy this week,
12:59just like that. It turns. And so it has. Uh, but nonetheless, we continue playing because we enjoy
13:05playing win, lose, or draw. I hope you do too. Thanks for watching everyone. I'll see you tomorrow
13:10for some more connections.
