Ep 114. PTA Pals vs. Realty Friends

In this episode of America Says, two teams face off against each other in a battle of quick thinking and pop culture knowledge. The teams, PTA Pals and Realty Friends, are made up of friends and colleagues who work in very different industries. The PTA Pals are made up of four moms who all serve on the Parent Teacher Association board at their children's school. The Realty Friends are all real estate agents who work together at the same agency.

As the game begins, host John Michael Higgins explains the rules to the teams and the audience. The goal is to fill in blank spaces on a giant board with words that fit a given category. Each team has a captain who will give the answer, and the rest of the team must agree or offer up an alternative response. The team with the most points at the end of three rounds wins a cash prize.

The first category is "Things You Buy at the Grocery Store." The PTA Pals start strong with answers like "apples" and "milk," but stumble with the more niche responses like "quinoa" and "chia seeds." The Realty Friends, on the other hand, impress with their knowledge of organic produce and specialty items like gluten-free bread. They take an early lead with 300 points to the PTA Pals' 200.

The next category is "Things That Are the Color Red." The PTA Pals rack up points with easy answers like "stop sign" and "fire engine," but once again struggle with the more specific responses like "scarlet" and "crimson." The Realty Friends continue their winning streak with answers like "tomatoes" and "Valentine's Day." However, they miss a key opportunity for bonus points when one team member suggests "red wine" and another disagrees, causing them to lose out on an extra 100 points.

As the game progresses, the categories get more challenging. The teams compete in rounds like "Things You Do in the Morning," "Things That Are Made of Snow," and "Things You Take to a Picnic." Both teams show off their extensive pop culture knowledge with categories like "Famous Moms" and "Movie Musicals." In the final round, the teams are given a phrase and must come up with as many song titles as they can that contain that phrase.

Throughout the game, there are plenty of laughs and lighthearted moments as the contestants banter with each other and playfully trash talk. The PTA Pals bond over their shared experiences as mothers, while the Realty Friends showcase their teamwork and competitive spirit. Higgins keeps the game moving along with his signature wit and humor, cracking jokes and making puns throughout.

As the game comes to a close, the tension mounts as the two teams are neck and neck. The final scores are announced and the winner is revealed. Will the PTA Pals triumph over the Realty Friends, or will the real estate agents emerge victorious? Tune in to find out in this exciting episode of America Says.
