05:48Greg Shahadi from Philadelphia is a chess player, and I'm told a very good one, but Greg, when you go
05:53viral online, it's for doing what?
05:56So I had a few videos that had over 5 million views online, which is the good news.
06:00Sure.
06:00Bad news is they're me losing a chess to 9-year-old children.
06:05But that's your weakness.
06:06Pretty much, but I think they're older, so.
06:08It's true.
06:09It's true.
06:09We don't have any 9- or 10-year-olds today.
06:10That might be a good sign for you.
06:12Katrina Puckett is here from Washington Courthouse, Ohio.
06:14You're a teacher, and you have Jeopardy in your blood, I understand, right?
06:18So my mom is a huge Jeopardy fan, and back in the day, they had a tournament called Super Jeopardy
06:23that was on Saturdays.
06:24Oh, right.
06:25I decided to be born during Super Jeopardy, so she missed it.
06:28To this day, your mom doesn't know what happened.

06:45When I was 8 years old.
06:46Is that a little young, to be at Oktoberfest?
06:48I believe so, but my dad was at a conference in Munich, and I went with him, and I guess
06:53he snuck me in.
06:54He got me a ticket somehow.
06:55I did not have any beer, but the chicken was good.
06:57A drunk man gave me a ride on his shoulders through the tent.
07:00I had a great time.
07:01My dad was terrified, but I did not get kidnapped.
