Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- And I want to play a game with you guys now.
- Okay.
- The couples game, we've done it one other time on this show.
These here are chalkboards, as you can see.
Your name is on each side.
- Okay.
- I'm going to ask you a series of questions in no particular order, and you are going to simply show the name you think represents the question.
- Got you.
- Are we ready, guys?
- You gotta lay it down flat.
- You guys might want a drink.
Hope I don't cause any trouble at home between y'all.
You ready?
- Yep.
- Who made the move?
The first move back in the day.
- Not even.
- We're disagreeing out of the gate?
- No, no.
- Go ahead, go ahead.
- Well, I told you, I approached him about my one woman show.
- [Jonathon] Who made the move?
Who made the move?
- And she came to see the jazz.
- And then he made the move.
- Right, right.
- He made the move.
- All right, whatever, Nikki.
- I was all business.
- Look, look, look.
- I don't know if I wanna interject myself in this.
- Listen, I said, "Nikki, I'm having this jazz thing.
Come to Peoria, check it out, I'll get you a room.
You ain't got to worry, relax, whatever.
- Yeah, make all those moves.
Come on.
- And, listen, I told my best friend, I said, "If she comes without that guy, it's over."
(audience laughing) - [Nikki] And he made a move.
- She came without that guy.
- And he made a move.
- I feel like driving two and a half hours is a move.
- You both made the move, that's incredible.
- No, he made the move.
- Who's more likely to be late?
- Be late?
- Yeah.
Okay, because you're trying to get those earrings on?
- I mean, you know, I try not to be.
- But you are.
- But, eh.
- [Blake] That's all right, that's okay.
- [Jonathon] It's a ladies thing.
- Who's a better cook?
Okay.
What's your go-to dish?
If you had company over, what are you whipping up?
- I'ma grill.
- Okay, just anything?
- I'm going to throw some jerk chicken on the grill.
- [Blake] Yeah.
- Some lamb chops.
- He does a really great seafood boil, yes.
- When the kids want something, when Kennedy wants something, who is she more likely to go to first?
- Ah, no, you're not.
Stop.
(audience laughing) We already know.
- So she's going to Mom to get what she wants.
- She's a mama's girl.
- She's a mama's girl, I'm a mama's boy, I get it.
- He would like it to be.
- Who is more adventurous between you two?
- Adventurous?
- Yeah.
- I'd say Nikki.
- Nikki, moving to a new city, several times, adventurous.
- For sure, I would have never done that.
(audience laughing) - Who is more patient?
- I'll say.
- Well.
- No, you, you're more patient.
- Okay.
- I think it depends on what's happening.
- We got time for a couple more.
Who's more likely to embarrass the kids?
- Oh, that's definitely me.
- Me.
- No?
- Embarrass the kids?
- You both embarrass them quite a bit.
- Oh yeah.
I'm gonna embarrass, yeah.
- And you like to do it.
- I like it, yeah.
- It's fun.
Okay.
This is the last one, I have a terrible sense of direction.
Who's more likely to get lost between you two?
(audience laughing) I'm gonna ask one more and I was going to reframe myself, but I want to ask, who is the better- - I don't get lost.
- If we were to get lost, it would be you, not me.
I put my GPS on.
- Me too.
- Okay, you guys are incredible.
I want to thank you all for coming out.
Make sure, thought I saw John Morris down there.
- Oh, hey John.
- I got a couple "Vibe 309" hats for Jonathon and Nikki.
Guys, please give it up for 'em.
(audience cheering) - Thank you.
