04:55I'm a PhD candidate from New Brunswick, New Jersey.
04:58Allegra, we haven't seen you since your Jeopardy adventure...
05:00Tell us what happened thereafter.
05:01Yeah, well, after two, you know, long and stressful tape days...
05:05I was with my mother and we thought we would decompress by going to the beach.
05:08So we went to Santa Monica and as I'm walking on the...
05:10the beach, I stepped on a bee, which I didn't know was something that you could do at the
05:13beach.
05:14And it...
05:15It was...
05:16I felt like it was a message from the universe to after, you know, having such high heights
05:20of...
05:20winning Jeopardy to kind of bring me down a couple levels.
05:23Yeah, because life be like that, right?
05:24Life...
05:25It does be like that, Ken.
05:26You...
05:27You win on Jeopardy and then you step on a bee.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Who knows what...
05:30What adventures are ahead of you?
05:31That's true as well of Brendan Liao from Vancouver, British Columbia.
05:35Brendan, as you know, we announced you as a stay-at-home son when you were first on
05:39Jeopardy at your request.
05:40At my request, yeah.
05:41And people loved that.
05:42North America went nuts for a stay-at-home son.
05:43Yeah, they really did.
05:44I got a lot of...
05:45I got a lot of coverage locally first, and then the Wall Street Journal reached out,
05:48which is just absolutely insane.
05:50A financial take on being a stay-at-home son.
05:51Yeah, a financial take on being a stay-at-home son.
05:53And then that, like, kicked off, you know?
05:55Vanity Fair and, like, ABC News, and it's just bonkers.
05:58It might happen again, because Johnny announced you as a...
06:00a new coinage and away from home son.
06:02Yes.
06:03I did move out.
06:04I found a job.
06:05And then three days into the job, I got into law school.
06:08Oh, congratulations.
06:09So, yeah.
06:10I've noticed away from home son, Brendan, has a mustache.
06:12Is this new?
06:13Yeah, it is new.
06:14Uh, all the...
06:15All the news stations kept introducing me as BC Man, and so I think I had to grow a mustache
06:19out to be like, yeah, I'm not...
06:20I'm not a boy.
06:21I am a man.

06:29and you've had a...
06:30a big change in your life as well.
06:31Maybe even bigger than growing a mustache.
06:33Yes.
06:34My wife and I welcomed...
06:35with our little girl a couple of months ago.
06:37Congratulations.
06:39I understand you were a celebrity at the hospital.
06:40Yes.
06:41So, thankfully, my very minor celebrity didn't...
06:45impinge on the delivery itself, but the next day while we were recovering and...
06:50we were sitting in the room, the nurse who was on shift kept coming in, and she would
06:54sort of give me sort of a...
06:55weird look.
06:56And after the third or fourth time of doing that she comes in and she says, excuse me,
07:00Excuse me, but you're on TV, aren't you?
07:01Hey, there it is.
07:03So Jeopardy! fame might be The Wall Street Journal?
07:05Or it might just be a weird look.
