A Fat Cat

Jess (0:01)

All eyes to the stage, folks. Something extraordinary is about to unfold. Let's kick things off right. Here comes the beat.

Nicole (0:13)

Hello, everyone. My name is Nicole, and today I'm joined by...

Jess (0:18)

Jess! I'm so happy to be back.

Nicole (0:20)

Welcome back to Think Fast, the teeny tiny daily game show that you can play faster than it takes to... Got anything?

Jess (0:29)

Read a book?

Nicole (0:29)

Read a book, yes. Toss out those books. Today we're playing game shows.

Jess (0:35)

Woohoo!

Nicole (0:36)

Jess, so excited to have you back on the show. How are we feeling? You are one of, I would say, our brightest contestants.

Jess (0:44)

Whoa, I'm very excited to be back.

I was up all night studying just anything, because it could be categories, it could be animals, it could be... So I was just surrounded by books. But don't worry, I threw them out after.

Nicole (0:56)

Okay, good. And there's no books in front of you right now, right?

Jess (0:58)

No, no books.

Nicole (1:00)

Okay, well, just gotta check. Are you ready for today's game?

Jess (1:04)

Very ready.

Nicole (1:05)

Today, we're playing a little game called Hink Pink. Do you know what a Hink Pink is?

Jess (1:12)

No, certainly don't.

Nicole (1:13)

Okay, well, a Hink Pink is a pair of rhyming words, with the same number of syllables. Let me give you an example. So I would ask, what do you call an obese feline? You might say, Arlo.

Jess (1:30)

That is what I would say.

Nicole (1:31)

You have a cat that is an obese feline. But the answer would be a fat cat.

Jess (1:39)

Got it.

Nicole (1:41)

Fat cat, that makes sense? Yes, it does. All right, let's begin round one.

What do you call a sad fruit?

Jess (1:54)

I'm like a depressed no.

Nicole (1:56)

That's tough to rhyme with.

Jess (1:58)

A down no. I think I don't even have it.

Nicole (2:03)

It's a purple fruit.

Jess (2:05)

A purple fruit? A glum plum.

Nicole (2:08)

Yes, there you go.

Jess (2:11)

Yeah, all right.

Nicole (2:14)

Okay, round two. What do you call a trendy phantom?

Jess (2:25)

I'm like a hip something, a cool ghoul.

Nicole (2:30)

Yes. I would like to hang out with a cool ghoul, by the way. Let me just put that out there.

Jess (2:39)

That'd be awesome.

Nicole (2:40)

Okay, round three. What do you call a warm boat that is very large?

A hot yacht.

Jess (2:51)

Yeah.

Nicole (2:54)

That one came very fast to you. A hot yacht. A hot yacht. Jess, congratulations. Three for three.

Jess (3:02)

Thank you.

Nicole (3:03)

Your prize today is going to be your own personal hot yacht, a boat.

Jess (3:08)

Oh, finally.

Nicole (3:10)

Jess, thank you so much for joining us. Once again, it is always a pleasure.

Jess (3:14)

Always a pleasure.

Nicole (3:16)

I have to say you were one of our fastest thinkers on Think Fast and you've defended your title today.

Thank you so much for tuning in to Think Fast. Tell us how you did in the comments. What would you name your boat? See you tomorrow when we Think Fast. For more great shows, visit gzmshows.com.
