- (FBE) Today we've got a challenge for you.
- Please don't have it be a Guess That Song.
- (FBE) We're gonna play you part of a song,
and the first person to guess the title and artist gets a point.
- Okay. - I hope you're better at this than I am.

I was a bar mitzvah DJ in the early 2000s
playing all of these songs.
- I had my bar mitzvah in the early 2000s,
so this was all the playlist songs that he would've been playing.

- Yeah. - 'Cause I bombed at that one.
- I'm more of a classic rock guy, so 2000s might be tough.
- The 2000s was when I was in middle school, in high school,
and listened to the radio on the way to school
and stuff like that. So I feel a little bit better about that.
- We work in the same room, so I know what music she listens to.
And she kinda knows what music I listen to.
It's about to be equal right here. - Yes.
I just have to be faster physically.
