"I don't have any kids," Crum said, "But I did get a new snake recently."
The remaining players laughed.
"I kept on coming up with snake puns for their names, but there were too many that I liked. There was a top three, and then what I named it," he continued.

"Well, Justin Timbersnake is obviously the best!" replied Minkin.
