00:00Tonight, on the ION Network is the annual Scripps Spelling Bee.
00:07Remember, it was on ESPN, ABC.
00:10It's now on ION, and the host is the lovely Mina Kimes.
00:16She's everywhere.
00:17So, with that in mind, I decided to come up with a Detroit sports,
00:22Detroit slash Michigan, sports spelling bee
00:25between my three compadres here of Rico, Kenny, and Mr. Hatchigan.
00:31Are you going to be watching this tonight?
00:33Probably not.
00:34Okay.
00:34Probably not.
00:35Can you bet on this?
00:36I don't know.
00:37If you hit me with Tim Bianca Batuca, I quit.
00:40I'm walking out the studio.
00:42I don't know.
00:43I remember we used to do this for the Michigan-Michigan State pep rally,
00:46me and Wojo, and there was always, like, an easy one.
00:48But you know me.
00:49I can't come up with any easy ones.
00:52All right.
00:53Well, there's a few easy ones.
00:54But first, let's introduce the contestants.
00:57From Michigan State University, the one, the only, Rico Beard.
01:02Representing Spex Howard University, David Hall.
01:09And representing Oakland University, Kenneth Cott.
01:16Okay.
01:17Roberts.
01:18All right.
01:19So, we have 10 names here.
01:21Here we go.
01:22So, first up, and you don't have to come up with their last, their first name,
01:27just the last name.
01:28Rico, spell D'Antonio.
01:31Oh.
01:32D-A-N-T-O-N-I-O.
01:40David, spell D'Antonio.
01:43D-A-N-T-O-N-I-O.
01:46Kenny, spell D'Antonio.
01:47D-A-N-T-O-N-I-O.
01:50All three got that right.
01:51All right.
01:51There we go.
01:52Next up.
01:52Actually, we didn't put the apostrophe in, so we all got it wrong.
01:55Oh, D'Antonio.
01:56No.
01:57Yeah.
01:58All right.
01:58Next.
01:59You know what, Kenny?

02:24All right.
02:24And Rico.

02:32All right.
02:33Rico and Kenny got it correct.
02:34David did not.
02:35Of course.
02:36All right.
02:36Not a real Michigan.
02:37Next up.
02:38Next up.
02:38Kenny, you lead us off.
02:40All right.
02:40The aforementioned Biakabatuka.
02:43No.
02:44Next name.
02:48B-I-B-I-C-A-T-U-K.
02:58I don't know.
02:59That's definitely wrong.
03:00Rico.
03:03Yeah.
03:05S-M-I-T-H.
03:07Okay.
03:08David.
03:10T-I-M.
03:11Tim.
03:12Okay.
03:13Can I get a half point for at least trying?
03:15The correct spelling is B-I-A-K-A-B-A-T-U-K-A.
03:20Next up, Rico, can you please spell...
03:23You please spell Milicic as in Darko.
03:28Oh, Darko.
03:30It's M-I-L-I-C.
03:42M-I-L-I-C.
03:44M-I-L-I-C.
03:44I don't know.
03:45Milic.
03:46David.
03:48M-I-L-I-C-I-C.
03:52Kenny.
03:52That's how I would have spelled it also.
03:54M-I-L-I-C-I-C.
03:55All right.
03:55Two.
03:56David and Kenny are correct.
03:59Next up.
04:00David.
04:01Former Tiger legend, Al Albuquerque.
04:05Oh, okay.
04:10Albuquerque.
04:11A-L-B-U-R-Q-U-E.
04:19Albuquerque.
04:20A-L-B-E-Q-Albuquer...
04:27That's wrong.
04:29Okay, Rico.
04:29All right.
04:31Let me write this.
04:32A-L-B-U-R-Q-U-E.
04:39Albuquerque.
04:39That would be wrong.
04:40You and David were on the right path.
04:43It's A-L-B-U-R-Q-U-E-R-Q-U-E.
04:49Albuquerque.
04:50We forgot the kirky part of that.
04:51Yes, that's good.
04:52All right.
04:53Next up.
04:55Let me leave this off.
04:56I think this would be Kenny.
04:57Yes.
04:58Yaxel Lendeborg.
05:03Just the last name.
05:05Lendeborg.
05:06I forgot.
05:06Is it an I or an E?
05:07L-I-N-D-E-B-O-R-G-E.
05:11That would be...
05:12Okay.
05:12Rico.
05:16L-E-N-D-E-B-O-R-G.
05:23David.
05:24L-E-N-D-E-B-O-R-G.
05:28Okay.
05:28David Enrico got it correctly.
05:30Next up.
05:31Only because I had to say it so many...
05:33It's not Lindenborg.
05:34Yes.
05:35Linda Borg.
05:36All right.
05:37Next up.
05:38We start with Rico, I believe.
05:41Former Michigan State great and Buffalo Bill great.
05:45Joe DeLamalore.
05:49Why, Stoney?
05:52Is this what you go home and tell your wife?
05:54I just tortured these people.
05:56I made them spell Bianca Patuca.
05:59This one, I think, is actually harder than Bianca Patuca.
06:02It is.
06:02Say it once.
06:04Joe...
06:06D-E-D-L-A-M-A-D-E...
06:09D-E-L-A-M-A-L-O-R.
06:11All right.
06:12D-E-L-U-M-I-U-R-E.
06:19David.
06:20Give it to me one more time, please.
06:22D-L-A-M-A-L-O-R.
06:23What origin of...
06:24Football player.
06:27D-E-L-A-U-M-A-U-L-U-R.
06:32Kenny.
06:32One more time.
06:34DeLamalore.
06:35D-E-L-A-L-A-M-A-U-R.
06:39All right.
06:39Okay.
06:40All three got it wrong.
06:41It's D-E-L-A-M-I-E-L-L-U-R-E.
06:46Not getting that one.
06:47All right.
06:47How many of us have gotten that?
06:49All right.
06:49We have time for three more here?
06:51Here we go.
06:52A couple, yeah.
06:52All right.
06:53David.
06:55Aloysius.
06:56Anagany.
06:57Oh, boy.
06:59Yep.
07:00Exactly.
07:01Go ahead, Kenny.
07:02A-N-A-G-A-N-G-U-E.
07:05Rico.
07:09It's A-N-A-G-O-N-Y-E.
07:18A-N-A-G-O-N-Y-E.
07:20Yes.
07:21David.
07:22I'm not doing it.
07:25X.
07:25Nope.
07:27All right.
07:29Next up, Rico.
07:32Valtteri Filippola, former Red Wing.
07:41All right.
07:43F-I-L-P-U-L-L-A.
07:47David.
07:49F-I-L-P-I-L-A.
07:52Dave, Kenny.
07:54F-I-L-P-P-U-L-A.
07:57That is correct, sir.
07:58Hey.
08:00And finally.
08:02Cheater.
08:03The lineman, the Lions, drafted from Boise State last year.
08:07I forget his first name.
08:09Hassanine.
08:15I think it's H-U-S-S-I-N-E.
08:24David.
08:25I'm going to go, you said Hassanine.
08:29So I'm going to go H-A-S-S-A-N-E-E-N.
08:34Very close.
08:36Kenny.
08:36H-A-S-S-A-N-I-N-E.
08:39How about just C-U-T?
08:42The correct answer was.
08:44Yeah, Rico.
08:46Just C-U-T.
08:47I thought you were going to really screw us there.
08:49H-A-S-S-A-N-E-I-N would be correct.
08:54Thank you for participating in the spelling bee.
08:59Let's see who would win here.
09:00Not me.
09:01We all lose, I think, is the right answer.
09:03Yeah, this is the anti-Kenny game.
09:05Yeah, you all lose points.
09:07By my math, I think the winner would be a tie between Kenny and Rico.
09:1397-1.
09:140,0888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888-888888888888888888888888
