[END PLAYBACK]
00:41
[LAUGHTER]
00:42
That's right.
00:45
That's right.
00:47
She won $11.30.
00:49
[LAUGHTER]
00:51
From San Francisco, California, please welcome Lauren May.
00:53
[APPLAUSE]
00:54
[MUSIC- "I'M SO EXCITED"]
00:55
I'm so excited.
00:57
And I just can't hide it.
01:00
I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it.
01:04
I'm so excited.
01:06
[APPLAUSE]
01:09
Hi.
01:10
Well, you just seemed like an emotional person.
01:12
Really, you just--
01:13
[LAUGHTER]
01:13
[CRYING]
01:14
Well-known fact.
01:16
Well-known fact-- so you get emotional
01:17
about a lot of things.
01:18
I am, like, either end of the spectrum, crying.
01:21
Yeah.
01:21
[LAUGHTER]
01:22
All right, so you play this game,
01:24
which I don't really fully understand.
01:25
Have you heard of "HQ," everybody?
01:27
[APPLAUSE]
01:27
All right, some people.
01:29
All right, so it's a game.
01:30
You answer questions, right?
01:31
Correct.
01:32
And everybody at once.
01:33
Correct.
01:34
OK, and so how long had you been playing this game?
01:37
Well, I had been playing for months.
01:39
But the farthest I ever got was like question six.
01:41
Mhm.
01:42
So besides today, which is literally
01:45
the best day of my entire life, because you
01:47
are my favorite human being on the face of this planet.
01:49
Mm.
01:50
Aw.
01:51
But I'm serious.
01:53
I mean, sorry, mom.
01:54
Like--
01:55
[LAUGHTER]
01:55
It's like you, mom, rest of family, like everyone else.
02:00
[APPLAUSE]
02:01
I had never gotten past question six.
02:05
So it's like seven, eight, nine--
02:09
I'm nonverbal-- 10--
02:11
I'm blacking out-- 11--
02:12
[LAUGHTER]
02:13
--I don't know where I am anymore--
02:15
12-- I'm dead.
02:16
[LAUGHTER]
02:17
I'm essentially a ghost playing "HQ."
02:20
And my friend told me like right after I pressed the answer
02:23
that I got it wrong.
02:25
And so that's why I started sobbing.
02:27
Because you had gotten that far.
02:28
What was the question?
02:29
It was, who composed the music for Windows 95?
02:34
The answer was Roxy Music.
02:36
Uh-huh.
02:36
When in doubt, I go with the one that I've never heard of.
02:39
Well, first of all, you should know Roxy Music.
02:40
Because Roxy Music is great.
02:42
So you should start listening to that right away.
02:44
I'm so sorry, Ellen DeGeneres.
02:45
OK.
02:46
[LAUGHTER]
02:46
It will never happen again.
02:47
Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry--
02:50
need to know about them.
02:51
OK.
02:52
So then you realize--
02:53
you know, I was worried about your dog.
02:55
Because you scared your dog.
02:56
I mean, your dog flipped out when you jumped up and started
02:59
screaming.
02:59
He is certified as an emotional support animal.
03:02
Well--
03:02
So I think this is--
03:03
[LAUGHTER]
03:04
It's within his realm of capabilities.
03:06
Yeah.
03:06
[LAUGHTER]
03:07
OK, so $11.30.
03:08
Correct.
03:09
So you knew that that--
03:11
that reaction was $11.30.
03:13
Yes.
03:14
I found out pretty late that it was $11.
03:17
So like, I was just excited to win.
03:18
To win.
03:19
Yeah.
03:19
So it didn't matter about the money.
03:20
No.
03:20
Did you spend the money yet?
03:22
Well, so I learned after I became viral, the most common--
03:26
I tried to actually read the comments, because, you know,
03:28
people tell you not to do that.
03:29
Yeah, don't do that.
03:30
But a lot of the comments were saying, girl,
03:31
you don't even know.
03:32
You can't get that money.
03:33
Because you actually can't cash out of "HQ" until you're
03:36
$20, which I don't have.
03:38
[LAUGHTER]
03:40
So I'm currently sitting on a whopping nothing.
03:44
[LAUGHTER]
03:44
Oh, no.
03:45
Yeah, yeah.
03:46
That's terrible.
03:47
But I'm meeting you--
03:48
Yeah, that's right.
03:49
--which is worth-- it's like 12 bucks.
03:51
Yeah.
03:51
A whole $12.
03:52
[LAUGHTER]
03:53
It's like a whole $12.
03:55
[APPLAUSE]
03:59
[BUZZER]
04:00
[LAUGHTER]
04:02
Oh my god, tWitch!
04:04
[LAUGHTER]
04:04
Hi.
04:05
Hi.
04:06
[LAUGHTER]
04:07
All right, so I'm going to give you a chance to win some money.
04:10
How about that?
04:11
You are not--
04:12
Because I know--
04:12
Ellen.
04:13
Tell me a game that you like to play of mine.
04:15
"Dice with Ellen."
04:16
You're going to play "Dice With Ellen."
04:17
Stop it.
04:18
Yes, you are.
04:18
No, I'm not.
04:19
You are.
04:19
You're talking about someone else?
04:21
[LAUGHTER]
04:22
We're going to take a break.
04:23
And you're going to play "Dice with Ellen" with me.
04:25
Thank you.
04:26
I'm back with my best friend, Lauren.
04:27
And we're going to play "Dice with Ellen."
04:29
Here's how you play.
04:30
You're going to get three rolls.
04:32
You're going to get as many Ellens as you can.
04:34
Because there's, you know-- you know how to play.
04:35
Oh, yeah.
04:36
And after each roll, you'll tell me what number
04:39
to put the Ellens on.
04:40
Behind one of those numbers is $5,000, OK?
04:43
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
04:43
OK.
04:44
So OK, you know how to play.
04:45
Yeah.
04:46
All right, grab them all.
04:47
Throw the Ellens.
04:47
And throw them all at once.
04:48
Yeah, all at once.
04:49
OK, this is my workout for the day.
04:55
All right, you have two Ellens.
04:56
OK.
04:57
Go-- and here, let me pull them back.
04:59
[LAUGHTER]
05:02

05:03
You'd be good.
05:03
No, no, no.
05:05
And I put them somewhere?
05:06
All right.
05:06
Yeah, you tell me.
05:08
Three.
05:09
OK.
05:13
And five.
05:13
All righty, throw again.
05:21
Don't act like they're heavy.
05:22
Whoa.
05:23
Oh, god.
05:23
No.
05:24
Well, that's because can talked to me.
05:25
So I got stressed out.
05:26
[LAUGHTER]
05:27
OK, OK, OK.
05:29
She just told me before we started
05:30
playing during the commercial break
05:32
that she could feel every single one of her organs.
05:34
[LAUGHTER]
05:35
I can.
05:36
[LAUGHTER]
05:38
That's true.
05:39
I'm going to try a different-- this is my last one, right?
