"He," by the way, is me . If anyone can make a digital copy of it, I would love you forever.

I enjoyed watching you, JD!

With geographic illiteracy rampant, it's no surprise this question is ranked the hardest. I don't know where Bermeo is either. Basque suggests Spain, so Bay of Biscay. I wonder why so many audience members went with Bay of Bengal. Maybe Bermeo sounds Indian.

Oy vey!

(I'm just catching up on some of the episodes from the last couple weeks.)

Congratulations on getting your shot on the show, Preston! Sorry it didn't turn out quite like you hoped for.

Maybe, but 29% is barely above the 25% we'd expect from a random guess. If the audience had any hunches at all about the answer, it was that nobody basks on the beach along Baffin Bay.

Well, 9% of the audience would.
