Andy, are the Hometown Howdies private?
I have no idea. I haven’t seen any of them this week.

Tonight the answer was ” Banana” and Alex so cutely said ” You are ripe”!
I thought the Japan flag was white and red?
Not sure what you’re referring to — Japan didn’t come up in the round tonight.
I believe he’s referring to a “Play J!6” from the Jeopardy! website that referred to Switzerland and other flags with red-and-white color schemes. I can’t recall the exact wording, but it may have listed three countries as the only ones besides Switzerland with all red-and-white flags, and the list may have omitted Japan.
