- 3:36Speaker 2: two extra points? What was the name of the kicker?
- 3:39Speaker 2: It's the Seahawks and Jason Myers is their kicker. I
- 3:46Speaker 2: will admit that after a while, I was like, I
- 3:48Speaker 2: hope it's only field goals, and I hope that the
- 3:51Speaker 2: Patriots get shut out, because then that would be a
- 3:53Speaker 2: trivia question.

- 4:01Speaker 2: Question three. Though it may seem illogical, who directed Three

- 10:32Speaker 2: not the same person. So if you hear that, it's

- 10:38Speaker 2: bad info and is asking that as a question, But
