Speaker 3

Have a couple of point of orders before we get into the trivia Ordah.

We have a correction and an apology.

We had a question in last episode where we wanted to know which Ricky Martin song began She's Into Superstition.

We incorrectly said the answer was she Bangs.

That just kind of missed us somehow.

The correct answer is Live in Levita Loca.

Speaker 1

That's right.

I'm sorry they mentioned to my head they're just one big song, there's not two songs.

It's my bad.

Everyone.

I apologize, and we want to give a big thank you to Gemma and Brian and Brian's friend for pointing it out.

We will correct it so that way future listeners won't hear that error.

So if you guys do ever catch something, let us know.

We will fix it and you will save other trivia buddy friends who listen to this show in the future.

Speaker 3

Sorry, sorry about the confusion there.

I could try and lawyer my way into it by saying if she bangs, she is living Levita Loca, but that I don't think that'll stand in the higher courts.

So ought about that.

We'll fix it, and we want to.

Speaker 1

Give a big old thank you to Laurie.
