Chuck first reads the question out loud and pauses.

Chuck: "Renee, I'm going to try my best to get you some llamas" Then he says that the colors red green and blue jump out related to electronics but he is not 100% sure. He adds that hooking up electronics is something he never did in his life.
Renee says that was her hunch but guys are usually better at this and she is not an electronics person. "You're surprising me that you're not"
Chuck: "Here's the deal. I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not a guy" (Renee and a few laughs)
Mere comments we're getting TMI here and turns it over to Renee to answer...

Mere: I don't know if he (Chuck) is a man or not but he is right.

Okay, I don't know Bobby and Jeff's strengths and weaknesses, but if there's a question that mentions California and you've got one PAF in New York and one in California, which one should be the default choice?

If they could have just hung on until this season, they'd have been able to recruit a lot more llamas from the show into their army.

10K: I knew this even though I do not watch the show (don't have cable, wouldn't watch it if I did, etc). But I was unsure of myself, so would have burned ATA here.
