The clip trip payne's story with crossword puzzles from Wordplay (2006)

"Former Yankee Grba,"three letters.
"Ace," 11 letters. "Sole attachment,"five letters.
What's a crossword tournament? Most people don't know.
It's hard to go back to the gym and people say, "What'd you do this week?"
And you say, "Well, I won a crossword puzzle tournament. "
And they go, "Oh, yeah. So, uh "
People don't know how to respond to that.
So I was working near Times Square before the "Disneyfication"of it...
I was going to work and working on puzzles all day.
And then I was coming home and I was doing puzzle work on the side...
to try and earn some extra income.
So my life was pretty much nothing but puzzles for about a year and a half there.
I needed more of a non-puzzle scene in my life.
And I thought the only way I'm gonna force myself to get that...
is to move back to where there is no puzzle scene.
So I moved down here to Fort Lauderdale where I already had some friends...
and I liked the weather and so forth.
And I've been very happy here. And I plan to stay here, you know, indefinitely.
Oh.
That wasn't pretty.
All right.
Good ball.
Go get 'em, dear. Don't steal my multi-ball.
I'm Brian Dominy. I grew up in Dublin, Georgia.
I met Trip about two years ago.
We hit it off pretty quickly after we met.
And, uh, we started dating immediately.
And we moved in together towards the end of 2004.
You wait. He's gonna win this game.
Or not.
Now you jinxed it.
Good. You deserved it after that last one.
All right, well, that was a rare victory.
Well done.
Yes. Well, done, dear.
Yes.
He's just an incredibly driven and focused person.
When he sets his mind to something, he's relentless.
