Q: My friend was telling me about a game show where the contestants have to run through an obstacle course shaped like a giant mini-golf course. Apparently it was actually produced by a famous golfer. What's it called?

We are getting a sequel [to the Jan. 6 hearings] in September, and a fall hearing is perfect because the former president [Donald Trump] is pumpkin spice.
