Tequila, Old Jokes, And A Pioneer Showdown
First up, it's National Tell an Old Joke Day, so dust off those groan worthy one liners you've been saving for the right audience. It's also National Tequila Day, giving Coachella Valley margarita, Paloma, and Rosita fans a reason to raise a glass. And rounding things out, it's Pioneer Day, marking the anniversary of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers arriving in Salt Lake Valley back in 1847.
With Pioneer Day on the calendar, the crew brought two pioneer themed questions to test the team, and now it's your turn to see how you'd do. Watch the segment for the full answers, and see if you can beat Tim and Manny at their own game.
