The point of news quiz we tied last week. I almost had you this. This could be my chance. Lisa Mateo refuses to let me cheat. I think it's a betrayal of our sisterly bond here on the show. Kate, you've discussed the prospect of cheating. I mean openly in front of you. Many times. I say, Lisa, give right here and she won't do it. But that's pretty much the extent of it, because I kind of exist until it comes up every week and I will call for an outside audit if the need arises. You are literally winning.
