Steve:bit about Addam's Family.
Lovella:Yeah,
Lovella:briefly.
Steve:Tiny bit.
Lovella:Yeah,
Lovella:I know.

Steve:So, what is our prize then,
Steve:Lovella, for our

Lovella:strange
Lovella:family rule for the day.
Steve:Oh, okay.
Steve:That sounds like fun.
Steve:Got any rules in mind?
Lovella:Not yet.
Lovella:But
Lovella:I'll think
Lovella:about.
Steve:I'll think about something
Steve:if you win.
Steve:Yeah.
Steve:There's a pretty low chance that'll happen, though.
Lovella:Yeah.
Lovella:Pretty
Lovella:low.
Lovella:But there's
Lovella:also pretty low chance for you.
Lovella:I mean, you.
Steve:Well, I watched Addam's Family a little bit
Steve:when I was younger.
Steve:Oh.
Steve:I'm a little bit
Steve:familiar with it, but
Steve:not a huge amount.
Steve:I have not watched any.
Lovella:I mean, you're old, so it's probably the very,
Lovella:very,
Lovella:very back of your head.
Steve:It is a very
Steve:old series.
Steve:That's
Steve:for sure.
Steve:Addam's
Steve:Family started
Steve:like a long time ago.
Steve:Yeah.
Steve:Seventies?
Steve:Wow!
Steve:I don't know.
Lovella:So it came
Steve:out like before I was born.
Steve:Yes.
Lovella:No, it came out after you were born.
Steve:No, before I was.
Lovella:No, because you were born in like
Lovella:the eighteen hundreds.
Steve:No.
Steve:Nice try.
Lovella:So it came out in the like nineteen seventies.
Steve:No,
Steve:no,
Steve:it came out
Lovella:after I was born.
Lovella:So
Lovella:it came out in like the seventeen hundreds,
Lovella:and then
Lovella:and then
Lovella:you were born.

Steve:I'll give you a hint.
Steve:It ends in academy.
Lovella:That's
Lovella:not
Lovella:very
Lovella:helpful.
Lovella:I

Steve:very
Steve:very
Steve:old
Steve:millennial.

Steve:Okay, let's
Steve:move on, shall we?
Steve:Let's
Steve:move to
Steve:the parents'
Steve:questions.

Lovella:Question number one:
Lovella:Who played
Lovella:Uncle Fester in the 1991
Lovella:movie?
Steve:Okay,
Steve:this
Steve:is the
Steve:only
Steve:actor

Lovella:pet cat?
Steve:What is the name of the pet cat?
Steve:Ugh.
Steve:Um,
Steve:I don't know
Steve:why, but
Steve:Cleopatra is coming to mind.
Steve:I feel
Steve:like there is
Steve:someone named
Steve:Cleopatra in
Steve:Addam's family, and that would make
Steve:sense to me
Steve:because
Steve:cats
Steve:and
Steve:Egypt
Steve:kind of go together, right?
Steve:You know, the Sphinx
Steve:is a big cat.
Lovella:Okay,
Lovella:so I'm going to
Lovella:say Cleopatra.

Lovella:Kitty.
Lovella:Okay,
Lovella:that's simple.
Steve:That's easy.

Steve:First person to buzz in gets to
Steve:answer it, and if you get it right, you get two points.
Steve:Two points.
Lovella:But
Lovella:if you buzz in and answer incorrectly, the points go to the other team.
Steve:Ooh.
Steve:Okay, so the stakes are a little bit
Steve:higher.
Steve:So don't buzz in unless you're
Steve:really, really
Steve:sure.
Lovella:You never do that, though.
Lovella:Can
Lovella:we just be honest?
Lovella:You because I do
Lovella:try.
Steve:In a
Steve:topic
Lovella:that I know, you'll be buzzing in before me
Lovella:because you'll be like, "I have
Steve:no idea." If you're way in front, I'm just going to buzz in and just
Steve:try.
Lovella:So we are tiebreakers right now.
