answers with our first to four rounds today are General Knowledge Round Round one,
General Knowledge Thinking, caps on, ladies, pencils at the ready, and
away we go. There are eight questions in the General Knowledge Round. Here
is question number one, good Luck, Tender Heart, and Funshine. We're
just a few of what group of plush toys? Good Luck, tender Heart,
and Funshine. We're just a few of what group plush toys? For
question number one, how are we feeling after one? I feel really good.
I'm feeling I'm feeling like, Okay, I hope it's all about toys.
Yeah, I'm feeling like I'm not feeling quite as good excellent, but
yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, let's see if question number two
helps out. Sure, has Bro just kidding, just kidding, it's not
a Hasbro question. I used to be a Hasbro testing kid. Who are
you serious? Yes, there was a a expert. There was a Hasbro
in my neighborhood, and they would have kids come in and we'd get to
just spend a day playing with new toys. And then I swear to you
take them a bug. No, that is like what happens like in a
movie, like what a kid is like. That's what I want to be
when I grow up. Eggs And I was that as a kid. How
could I ever live? I mean the bar was so high as a kid.
Now this is a question, please, did you get paid for paid
you off? With a bag of toys which needs money. This is not
that is incredible. That is for real. That is like getting to go
on Double Dare or like something like that where you get like they would do
those things where you get to run around a toys r uss and just throw
everything into a into a cart. Is like that is miraculous. As a
child, when I used to drive by it, I would like feel my
body, like my heart would race like my child self like got so excited.
It was just the best thing ever. That's incredible. I love that
we hit that. On question number one, we're already We're already gabbing like
old friends. H Question number two is a music question. Who are the
two members of the hip hop group Outcast? Can you name both members of
Outcast? They gave us a lot of those great albums, Thank on You,
speaker Box and the Love Below Aquanimei, is this going? Are we
going to get a half point? If it's like I would may, I'll
maybe give you a half point if you get one of them. I'll tell
you what. Even if you get a half point, you're gonna be well.
The thing is is that I was actually an Outcast tester as a child,
yes, there it is. They would send you their demos, Yeah,
and Young Shannon would give them her feedback. But can you name the
two members of the hip hop group Outcast for question number two? All right?
Question number three is a movie question. In what nineteen ninety seven film
are j low Owen, Wilson, Ice Cube, and John Voight for whatever
reason, playing like a guy from Potaguay, among others, floating down a
dangerous river? Can you name that hilarious, hilariously kind of bad but fun
film? In what nineteen ninety seven film are j Lo Owen, Wilson,
ice Cube, and John Voight among others floating down a dangerous river? Named
that one word title movie? That's what makes the title of the movie is
why that rave river is so dangerous? Now? Nineteen ninety seven, j
Lo has she had a music hit yet? Or is she said this was?
This was like I think one of her earlier like big things, where
she was like the lead actress in this film. Wait one minute, did
she start as an actor? Yeah, she started as a fly girl on
in Living Color, and then she started getting you know, roles in films,
I believe, and then music. I'm not sure what we Annie look
up once this. Once this round's over, we'll get the lowdown on J
Low the j Lowdown. But again I gave you some hints. It's a
one word title, dangerous river. Name that hilariously bad film. For question
number three, Question number four, see if you read some stuff or had
books read to you as children who wrote Little House on the Prairie. There
was a whole set of Little House on the Prairie books. Oh yes,
can you name the author? Last name Will Suffice? Oh oh yeah,
sure, sh the Prairie Girl. Oh, Prairie Girl was going to be
my answer. Did you ever watch the TV show? Of course? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, because one of the character is pretty much I think
the first two names. Yeah, I think I got it too. All
right, you guys are playing possible with each other. For those for those
listening at home, these two it's our first time where we have two people
playing side by side. They are in the same room. They are separated
by a little divider, and they're putting their hands over their sheets of paper.
Two. Oh, it's it's actually more. It's even more. Oh
my god. They have cover sheets so that the other person cannot steal their
answers. Exactly right. Yeah, it's just like middle school tests. I
would I was. I was a kid who was like very anxious about people
stealing my answers, So I was like setting up the folder for you know
that the teacher some for some reason, let us do totally. Yeah.
Wow, I I don't think I was putting up the four it and I
think I was probably craning the neck a little bit. Yeah, Alyssa was
the cheater and Shannon was the nerd. Yeah, yeah, that was someone
else, someone else passed. Yeah, all right, we're up to question
number five. We're on the back half of your general knowledge around. Question
number five is kind of a sports and geography question. You have a one
in fifty chance. What US state would you find the Pro Football Hall of
Fame? The Pro Football Hall of Fame is in a city called Canton.
But what state? I'm going for the state? Yeah, sure, what
US state is the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It's in a city Canton,
But I want to know what state it's in. All right. Question
number six is a television question One Man shows titled Just Jack, Jack two
thousand, Jack two thousand and one, and Jack two thousand and two were
featured on What NBC Sitcom. Oh, one man shows titled just Jack,
Jack two thousand, Jack two thousand and one, and Jack two thousand and
two. We're featured on What NBC Sitcom For question number six. See what
I like about that question is that we could that like I know enough NBC
sitcoms that I can just wild That's exactly right, that's exactly right. Yeah.
Yeah, it's not like I know enough authors that I can just take
of it. Yeah, guessing on an author is a little tougher. Yeah,
yeah, all right. Question number seven, we're going to the human
body. What type of blood vessel has a thicker wall and takes oxygenated blood
away from the heart. See, Shannon's a doctor, This is not fair.
You have a coin flip. Coin flip though, for you, Alessa,
coin flip for you? What type blood vessel has a thicker wall and
takes oxygenated blood away from the heart as opposes toward the heart. All right,
yeah, that is true. I am a doctor, but it's more
embarrassing when I get it raw. That's true. That's true, and I'm
not a medical doctor. Let it be no, yes, yes, thank
god we got that other info. All right, Are you ready for your
final question? In the general knowledge around question number eight goes a little something
like this, what German word is used to describe a person that closely resembles
another person? Hey? Look, I what is that German word for question
number eight? I can't believe people put themselves on Jeopardy. I can't believe
it. The idea of me being up there, having a little buzzer and
these incredibly hard questions and me having to be like, uh, I don't
know, but right now, pens down, pencils down. We will go
over your answers in just a second. But it's time to meet our tremendous
guests. This might be one of my favorite names to say ever. From
c Conk, Massachusets. Holy shit, that's a real place. Sea Conk,
Massachusetts. She's got a play that she did. You co write it
with your partner Hary co write this play. It's called Wake Up Long Island.
My friend, we just worked on a commercial together. My new new
best friend, Alissa limpeis is here. Hello, Hello, thank you for
having me. Oh my gosh. You can follow Alyssa Lamparis on the social
media is at Alissa A. L y s s A l I mp ALYSSA
Limp on the social media and I will get to your charity in just a
little bit because you're both playing for the same at charity. But it's time
to introduce your opponent. Not too far away from c KONK from Byram new
Joysey again. You also have some other projects Cyberpunk TTRPG podcast, Fun City
which is an upright Citizens Brigade show, and again that play Wake Up Long
Island. Shannon Odell is here today fantastic. You can follow Shannon on social
media at show Dell SHO d E l L. And Yeah, I wanted
to ask you both. You picked the same charity. Let us know what
charity you're playing for and why you chose it. We are playing for Dana
Farber and in particular for brain cancer research, and I would say that this
has a connection to both of us in sort of different ways. I my
dad was treated there for brain cancer and he passed away, but they treated
him so well, and they told us that we are very close with brain
cancer and all they need is more money, and but they're close, and
the more money they have, the more resources they can put on it.
Because it's a rare disease, there's less money going towards that research, and
so the more money they have, the more research they can do. In
the quicker this horrible disease can be eradicated and channam And in terms of me,
I'm also have a very close relationship with the brain because I did get
my PhD in neuroscience. I am a former neuroscientist. I'm not currently working
as a neuroscientist, but yeah, I know very deeply what how much,
especially these diseases that are underfunded, how much the funding needs, and how
much it really does change the day to day research. Oh my god,
I didn't know we had such a nerd here. What a nerd? Yeah
I did. I did say during during the first round that I was.
It was the toughest class I took in all of college, but maybe my
favorite. One of my favorite classes was behavioral neuroscience out of the psych department.
We are so happy win or lose. We're happy to make a double
donation to the Dana Farber the Brain cancer a research arm of Dana Farber.
Very awesome to have you both here and playing for that wonderful charity to best
pals. But it's time to get back to brass tax. Let's go over
our answers. Yes, yeah, go over our answers for round one the
right questions in the round. Question number one was good Luck, Tender Heart,
and Funshine were just a few of what group of plush toys Alyssa,
So I had put down this as a different answer, I'm answer. I
had put down beanie babies, not because I think it's beanie babies, but
because that was sort of the only plush toy I could think of where they
had names beanie babies. Great guess, Shannon, Do you agree with that?
Or did you go your own way? I also went with beanie babies.
Beanie babies, Oh, great guess, but not correct? No?
Correct? They shared their feelings on their stomachs. They were the care bears
care bears. Care bears. Good Luck, good Luck had a shamrock on
his belly. Tender Funshine, Yeah, Funshine had a sunshine on his belly.
But did you I guess you probably both were too young to have care
bears. Probably did you remember care bears? I remember them being like,
not like of the moment as much as beanie babies, But I do have
when you say it, I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember seeing
care Bears, I remember seeing them around. Yeah. Yeah. Not the
easiest question because they haven't been around too much for the last thirty years,
which doesn't feel like maybe if anyone's listening, it's an opportunity for a reboot
there. I mean, bring those care we need some care marketing. Mutant
Ninja Turtles just came back. Let's go, let's make in Hollywood. Yeah.
Number two was our music question. Who are the two members of the
hip hop group Outcast? And might give you a half point if you get
one of these gents names, right, Shannon, what did you come up
with for question number two? Okay, I think one of their names was
and this is crazy if it's not big Boy, big Boy? Great guess?
Did you have another guess? Or that's it? That's the only one
you stop there, that's the only one. I'll tell you what. I'm
not even going to say mine because I had. The first thing I wrote
was out and Cast, and I'm going to stick with that. Out and
Cast. They just it's in the name. What's in a name? Everything?
Cast? Let me have a big boy. Shannon's going to get a
big half point because big boy spelled b o I and I had that.
Yeah, she did, spelled correctly. The other gentleman who had the huge
hit off of a speaker box. Hey, yah, Andre three thousand,
very dapper, dapper dresser. Yeah, dapper dresser. Natalie attired, Yeah,
Andre three thousand and nice watch Shannon pulled it out. Nice. I
used to watch Trla after really Oh yeah O. Question three was your movie?
Question? And what nineteen ninety seven film? Or j Lo Owen Wilson
Ice Cube, John Voyd. I think Eric Stolts, a bunch of other
people are floating down a dangerous river. Can you give me that one word
title? Alyssa rapids rapids Shannon, what did you put Nile? Nice?
The river is dangerous because there's a certain creature that's making that river very dangerous.
It is an Ana Conda. Ana Conda. Was that very hilarious?
And Annie is telling us right now that yeah, nineteen ninety one, j
Lo is a fly Girl. Ninety five her first movie was Money, so
this was just a couple of years later, so this was one of her
earlier movies. Well, we have some we have something to do after this.
We have a movie watch. Yeah, we do. It's for real.
If you watch it, it's John Voight with his thick Potaguayan accent is
so cringe It is the most cringe worthy thing ever. And he is chewing
the scenery, so it's kind of worthwhile to watch him just act a lot.
He is a lot, but it's actually a pretty fun uh front look
at especially CGI from nineteen ninety seven. Pretty great question number four. Who
wrote Little House on the Prairie, that whole series of books? Shannon?
I wrote the name Carol could be your first name, could be your second
name. Oh, I love love. That deserves a splosh. Also,
do you know what my middle name is? Carol? Yeah? Wow?
And get this with a k with a oh my god, I love it?
Are the Kardashians before the I had Carol with a Klyza Carol lim Haarris.
You know it's and at Ellis Island. Of course chopped it, so
it's it's it's it's so that's why Carol is there. It sort of sounds
like a real name, but it's really Cara. Hellas what there is?
Alyssa? Did you did you also put Carol for the author? Feel pretty
good about this? Laura Ingle Wilder the correct answer is Laura Ingles Wilder.
You got it, Laura Ingles Wilder. Good, that is a really good
one. Again, thanks, it came, and it came to me a
few questions after. Wow, thanks it came to you. It does.
Yeah. The whole series of Little House on the Prairie was written by Laura
Ingles Wilder. Question number five and what US state is the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. It's in a city called Canton. But what state I wanted?
Alyssa, what did you put? From number five? Okay, I
have a little I have to decide because I have strong memories of Canton,
Massachusetts, which is where I'm from. I'm gonna say it just because I
know Canton's there, but I have a feeling it might be something else because
I don't have a memory of the actual place, which I feel I might
have if it was there. But I got to try my hometown. It
would be a shame to go to not get my hometown if it was Canton,
Massachusetts. That's not right. Love it, Shannon. What did you
put? What state did you choose? I choose oh Hi, that's my
other one. That's the really one because Ohio right in the middle. It
feels like a place, it's right in the middle of everything. It's like
a place that people who like football would go. I hear that, and
yeah, and Canton, Ohio does I think that is a place fantastic?
So yeah, in what US state? We have Massachusetts and we have Ohio.
The correct answer is oh h I oh wow, Ohio. That was
great. You pulled it out. You get the big point for question number
five, Question number six. One man shows titled Just Jack, Jack two
thousand and Jack two thousand and one and Jack two thousand and two were featured
on What NBC sit com Shannon, I put thirty Rock. Thirty Rock,
Alyssa, what did you put? I also put thirty Rock Great Guesses,
But Jack, played by Sean Hayes, was on Will and Grace, Will
and Grace, Just Jack Sean Hayes, Oh that makes sense. Did all
those one man shows, But thirty Rock is a great guest because of them
both clearly like this one that we know you picked a good one. You
picked a good one. It wasn't it thirty Rock. I hear there's like
they do a lot of and I've watched some episodes in like they make a
lot of fight fake titles exactly. They make so many. I thought maybe
there was. It was just like one of the many fake shows. Yeah,
the Rural juror the Rural exactly, all right. Question number seven,
this was maybe in someone's wheelhouse. What type of blood vessel has a thicker
wall and takes oxygenated blood away from the heart, Alyssa. I said white
blood cell, white blood cell. Shannon, what did you put? I
put artery because I kind of remember arteries away, arteries away veins towards is
that it's not so? Those were my two options, not blue or red,
I mean white or red. Oh my god, how embarrassing. God.
Everyone in cea Kunk, Massachusetts is rolling their eyes. The correct answer
is arteries away, artery is correct for me. I'm just like so proud
in this moment. I do just be like, Wow, that's so hard.
And my friend got it. She could be on Jeopardy. You're very
supportive. You're very supportive. I can get one question right on the mcat.
Yeah. And finally, question number eight, what German word is used
to describe a person that closely resembles another person? Shannon? I put doppelganger.
Doppel ganger Alyssa, what did you put doppel ganger open ganger? Dooppel
Ganger is correct. Doppelganger is the German word for someone that resembles another person.
We're tallying up your scores after a very fun general knowledge. I'll say
this as you tell you the scores. Interesting it's doppelganger because I don't know
if people are listening or watching, but Shannon and I are often doppelgangers of
each other. Yeah, this is a new haircut, but I would say
when your hair was a little longer in particular, definitely, definitely more.
We went into a I went into a sandwich shop once and then I left
and then Shannon went in and they were like, wait, weren't you just
in here? Right? We are not the same height though, No,
anyway, it's a little bit about us. So here is your score.

well, The show came out of Alyssa and I were doing We're Just We
met through comedy and we in New York in New York, and we started
to do shows together and we were just we just found each other, like
specifically when it comes to humor, like we really could latch onto characters that
were from Long Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, just kind of like that
kind of vibe. And so we got together and wrote this show that was
just like what if, you know, what if we could be you know,
like totally like unfiltered and write the kind of show that like maybe people
wouldn't expect from us. Totally. Yeah, it's very it's very different maybe
from other stuff that we both have put out. You put out very highly
intellectual stuff. I put out highly like serious emotional stuff, and sometimes people
ask like, is it like any of those things, and we're like,
no, no, it's very different. It's a romp. It's really fun,
it's wild, and I think we're both yeah, we are as you
can see whatever. Anyway. I think it's a fun show because we get
to be imperfect and we get to be bad women with no basically redeeming qualities,
but we always have each other's back in it, and so it's just
a fun time. It's about twomen who are about to lose their talk show
on Long Island Public Access Radio. Oh my god, yeah, I love
it. Are you performing anytime? We will be performing again at UCB.
We performed there last month and we'll be performing there again this winter. So
look out at our socials for the next day. Fantastic lookout for Wake Up
Long Island. I'm very excited. But it's time to get back to the
game. All right. We have entered round three of four. It's the
infamous Round three, the lightning round, Lightning round. This is the weird
one, the odd ball rum. Shannon, you are trailing, so you
get to go first. Your lightning round headings. You can choose from either
Stone Ange, the Great Wall of China, or the taj Mahal. Shannon,
name your poison. I'm going to go with the taj Mahal Mahal.
Fantastic, excellent. All right, I'm gonna say this question twice. I'm
gonna say go, I'm gonna hit the button. You're gonna have twenty seconds
to give me as many possible answers that you can. Alyssa you should probably
sit tight and right now some answers down, because I'm gonna come to you
with your five second Rebuttal as soon as Shannon's twenty seconds are up, here
we go in the lightning round. Shannon, your lightning round question from the
taj Mahal is, can you give me the top nine best selling automotive brands
in the United States? So these are car and truck companies, the top
nine best selling automotive brands that US people buy twenty seconds on the clock and
go Toyota. Are you supposed to write down? No? I say sorry,
Toyota, Honda, Uh, Tesla, Hyundai? Uh? Did I
say Honda? Ford? Uh? What else? Uh? Uh? Subaru,
Jaguar. It's crazy. You did excellent. You got you got one,
two, three, you got five out of the nine you got taken
time from Channa. I gave her, I gave her some, I gave
her some extra time. Thank you. Your little interruption did not everything.
You got Toyota, you got Ford, you got Honda, you got Hundai,
and you got Subaru. So now, Alyssa, you have a chance
with your Rebuttal, I'm gonna give you five seconds. It's only five seconds.
To see if you can steal some of the few answers that are left
on the board. There's a top nine best selling automotive brands in the United
States five seconds on the clock and Ago, Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota,
Alexis Hummer, Jeep up oh. I think it was just after the bell
rang that you gave me Jeep. That was one, but I don't think
we can give it to you. I think it was after good thanks,
after the buzzer. The ones. We didn't get to number three, Chevrolet.
We forgot about Chevrolet. Unbelievable. Number six surprising. Kiya is number
six of a ConA, A ConA, a ConA. I would never have
a Kiya. Okay, Potato, it's one of the best. Many Americans
women, well, ki is the one that has that square car, right.
I'm sure they have plenty. They might have a cube, but I
bet they like the cube car. Let me just say, I don't know
how to drive. So we had Chevy, Kia and the other one.
We didn't get to Nissan or Nissan those three. But you did very well.
Shannon did very well in the taj Mahal question. All right, very
well done. But now it's your turn in the barrel Melyssa, you could
choose from either Stone Enge Stonehenge. All right, let's do Stonehenge. All
right, here is your Stonehenge question. Let's say it twice, twenty seconds
on the clock. Say as many answers as possible. Shannon write some answers,
do becau. I'm gonna come to you straight away with your five second
rebuttal. Here we go. Here's your Stonehenge lightning round question. Can you
give me the names of the first nine Disney print cesses in film? So
that's from nineteen thirty seven through two thousand and nine. Give me the first
nine Disney princesses of film. Twenty seconds on the clock and go Aurial,
Sleeping Beauty, snow White, Moulon, Bell, Cinderella, snow White,
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. Stop. You did great, Thank you, One,
two, three, you got six. You got six of them.
I'm gonna give you Sleeping Beauty. Her name is Aurora, but you got
snow White, Cinderelli, Aurora or Sleeping Beauty. You got Aeriel, Bell,
and Mulan. There are three still left up for grabs for your five
second rebuttal. First nine Disney Princesses of film Shannon five seconds and Ago Jasmine
Princess and the p Stop. You stole Jasmine from Aladdin. The two we
didn't get to, number seven Pocahontas, Oh, she was my favorite two.
And number nine Tiana from The Princess and the Frog Tiana. That's what
I was thinking when I met when I said Princess and the Pea. After
I said it, I was like, that's not with that. You did
excellent in the lightning round. We're talling our scores right now. We have
Shannon O'Dell with twelve and a half. Still very close game because Alyssa in
Paris keeps her lead fifteen. It's fifteen to twelve and a half after three.
Wow, Wow, Wow, that was that. I'm sweating. I
know I have sweat, I really yeah, yeah, yeah we do.
I would have been sweating anyway though. Well again we're here. Alyssa is
in the lead by two and a half points. It's fifteen to twelve and
a half after that, very fun lightning round. As we enter our fourth
and final round between you two. Round four, the Double Duty. It
is the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe Round. We call it the Double Duty because
points are doubled and there are nine questions instead of eight. Wow, so
there are eighteen huge points for grabs. It's anyone's game. And today we
have one of our favorite rounds by our listeners. It is a theme round.
So how that works is the first eight of nine questions are seemingly going
to be general knowledge questions, and then question number nine is what is the
theme? Will you find the theme within your answers? The more questions you
get, the better chance of finding out what that theme is. Is everyone
on the trolley? Here we go question number one of nine. The coredettes,
we're asking who or whom? I always mix that up when they sang
this lyric bring me a dream, bom bomb bomb bomb, make him the
cutest that I've ever seen? Bomb bomb bomb bomb? Who are they asking
that question? Are telling that too? When they sang that lyric bring me
a dream, make him the cutest that I've ever seen? Give me that
song title? Who are they talking to? For question number one? How
are we feeling? After one? Oh? Not good? I feel good?
Wow? But she feel good at Beanie BA over right? I don't
know. I'm a bad judge. Oh that is great. It could be
some yeah, some overconfidence, some beanie baby over there of being a nerd
is just being for sure. Question number two, we're staying in that theme
from the Lightning round. I guess which of the seven dwarfs wore glasses?
Which of the seven dwarfs wore glasses? For question number two? One and
seven chants all right, are you ready for question number three? Yes?
Question number three goes like this, in what year saw the births of Eddie
van Halen, Whoopy Goldberg, and Bruce Willis? As well as the deaths
of James Dean, Emmett Till and Albert Einstein? Same year all those things
happened? And what year saw the births of Eddie van Halen, Whoopy Goldberg,
and Bruce Willis as well as the deaths of James Dean, Emmett Till
and Albert Einstein. All right? Question number four? What is Regina's last
name? In Mean Girls? What is Regina's last name? The very funny
film Mean Girls? Regina? What for question number four? The plastics?
This is sort of just a little factoid, but I think I read that
she filmed that and the notebook in like the same It was a very close
This is not even a factoid. It might not even be close, but
she just the range on her is incredible, incredible range. Pretty awesome.
Yeah, if it was like like two months or something, she did it
was close. That's awesome. Question number five. I think I had Walt
Disney on the brain. I just went to Disneyland for the very first time
as an adult. Question number five. What song does Sebastian the Crab sing
in The Little Mermaid? What song does Sebastian the Crab sing? Bastion the
Crab and The Little Mermaid? For question number five? And Annie is telling
us, Yeah that The Notebook and Mean Girls filmed in the same year.
Yeah, crazy, all right? Question number six. What actress portrayed both
Karen Hill or Karen Hill in Goodfellas as well as Doctor melfieh I know,
we don't get this. What actress portrayed both Karen Hill and Goodfellas as well
as Doctor Melfie on The Sopranos They met? Awesome actress? For question number
six? Are you ready for question number seven? Yes? All right?
What tea word adds bitterness, astringency, and complexity to various wines? You
hear wine experts talk about that tea word A lot, I think mostly in
red wines. What is that tea word that adds bitterness, astringency, and
complexity to various wines? For question number seven? All right, this might
help you out. This is your final like kind of general knowledge question.
This is question number eight coming up. In nineteen ninety two, Mark Mark
Wahlberg famously wore boxer brief underwear made by what fashion designer? Question number eight.
Nineteen ninety two, Marky Mark Wahlberg famously wore boxer brief underwear made by
what fashion designer? So big thing was all over the magazines and billboards.
He wore boxer brief underwear by what fashion designer? For question number eight.
And then finally, question number nine, of course, is what is the
theme of this double duty radcliff round. I'll give you some more time.
Pencils down, let's go over our answers in this double duty Radcliff round.
It was a theme round. Here is question number one. The Cordetts were
asking whom when they sang bring me a dream, bomb bomb, bomb bomb,
make him the cutest that I've ever seen? Bomb bomb bombomb Alyssa,
What did you put for number one? Jerald Dean, Gerald Dean, Great
Nation rhymes. What did you put for number one? I put mister sand
Dream, mister Sandman, Yes, bring me dream bum bum bum Gerald Gerald
rhymes, I love that so much. Yeah you could, Yeah, it
could be a different I mean that's a pretty good song too. Oh Geraldine,
bring me a dream. But charline is bringing you like an ass bridge.
They're not bringing you a dream. Do you have an extra ask bridge?
I think that song needs to be made, Gerald Deane, Great guess,
but it is mister Sandman for question number one. Question number two,
which of the seven Dwarfs wore glasses? Shannon but Doc? Oh shit,
Doc Alyssa says, oh, Ship, what did you put? Dopey?
Dopey? I think he would he would drop him right, But I guess
I forgot about Doc and I thought maybe they would, you know, when
like it used to be like four eyes was like a big insult. I'm
like, maybe he'd be dopey just by having but it doesn't really it's Doc.
She is a neurosurgeon. The correct answer is Doc, Doc war glasses.
Ooh, this game is getting real tight. It's close. Oh,
this is real tight. Question number three and what year saw the births of
Eddie van Halen, will Be Goldberg and Bruce Willis, as well as the
deaths of James Dean, Emmett Till and Albert Einstein. Lissa, what did
you put from number three? I did not. I just had nineteen.
I couldn't. I couldn't guess nineteen something something. Shannon, what did you
put? I was going to guess the time period I have for the answer
nineteen fifty six, but I was going to say it was between like fifty
six and maybe sixty one. What's going to be like the window that I
was looking at is you know what I'm going to get? Give you one
point. I wanted you to be directly on. Usually I give a usual
you know, some space to be within five years or be within whatever.
But for this theme round, I kind of really wanted you to hit that
number, but you were one off. The correct answer is nineteen double Nichols
fifty five, Wow, fifty five? Where all that stuff happened? Question
number four? What is Regina's last name? In Mean Girls? Shannon?
We'll start with you for question number four? George Regina George Alyssa. What
did you put for number four? George the Plastics led by Regina George.
Two points a piece. That was Forlissa for question number four. Question number
five, what song to Sebastian the crab scene in The Little Mermaid? Alyssa
under the sea, under the sea, Shannon, what did you put?
I put under the sea? It is under the sea? For question number
five? Two points apiece. This is getting real interesting. Question number six.
What actress portrayed both Karen Hill and Goodfellas as well as doctor Melfie on
Brando's Shannon, Uh, Brocco, But Lorraine Brocco. I think is her
full name? Lorraine? That's it. That's it. I couldn't get it,
but that's it. You couldn't get it, but that's it. Uh.
The correct answer is Lorraine Brocco. For question now six, Lorraine Brocco.
Question number seven, What T word adds bitterness, astringency and complexity to
various wines? Alyssa Tannons Tannin's Shannon, what did you put? I also
put tennons tannins. You guys are killing this is tannins? Is that T
word that you would find in nice most of the time? Red wine?
Tannants? For number seven, Question number eight. In nineteen ninety two,
Marky Mark famously wore boxer brief underwear made by what famous fashion designer, Shannon.
I put Calvin Klein. Calvin Klein, Alyssa, what did you put?
And I put Tommy Hill figure, Tommy Hill figure or Calvin Klein.
One of you is correct, one of you incorrect. Correct answer is Calvin
Klein. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's good. That's good. Question number
eight. So question number nine, what is the theme? Elysa? Did
you come up with anything for your I've put nineteen hundreds, nineteen hundreds,
Shannon, what did you put for your theme? I don't think this makes
any sense, but I put splash splash great guess? All right, hold
your guffaws as I give you the theme. By going through the answers mister
Sandman has played during this film Doc Brown, they go back to nineteen fifty
five George McFly the Enchantment under the Sea dance. Laureae was his mom.
Biff Tannan was Biff's last name, Tannan, and he and she thinks his
name is Calvin Klein because of his underwork. We're talking about where Marty McFly
back to the future, back to the Wow. Wow, yeah what dog?
And I was like, I was like, oh, it could be
back to the future in the beginning, but I didn't know what doctor doctor,
what mister Salmon was, and then I was like I couldn't connect the
rest of that. That was a tough one. Yeah, mister Salmon's a
deep cup to start with, because that's the song like when he goes back
to fifty five and there's the town square and he pulls out the newspaper.
That's like the first song you hear that he's in the town back in nineteen
fifty five where he sees everything in the clock tower is working and all that
stuff. But yeah, back to the future. So we are tabulating our
scores here they are your final of around and wow, hell of around,
hell of around. Well played. We have Alyssa Limpeis with twenty one points
and Shannon O'Dell with twenty seven and a hellibi comeback is they're gonna be talking
about this. I mean, twenty seven point five. You blew me out
of the water. Well you led for two rounds. Yeah, you know
that was a hell of a game, A great comeback, Shannon O'Dell.
You are, in fact the smartest person in the world. I don't one
week. For one week, I really believe that to be true? Is
the thing? Oh my god, really, deal My head's not going to
fit through the door. Oh my gosh. Well, we were playing with
Melyssa Limparris. You can follow around social media at Alyssa Limp. We're happy
to make a donation to the Dana Farber Brain cancer Research charity in your name.
Look out for that play Wake Up Long Island and then our champ Shannon
O'Dell. You can follow her on social media at show Dell Again, we're
making a donation in her name to that same wonderful charity, Dana farbera Brain
cancer Research. Such a great time, such a great game. But it's
not over. It's time for Annie to join us for the final throwdown,
the final throwdown. Annie's going to put up our final throwdown question. I'll
read it to the world. Bannon, you get to go first on a
possible guest we could talk it through Alyssa. We'll let you join in on
the fun. I'll throw in my brain droppings and then yeah, we'll reveal
the answer. So Annie, if you are at the ready, please post
our final Throatown question here it is how many ways are there to make change
for US dollar? Holy smokes, how many ways are there to make change
for a US dollar? I was told there would be no math. This
seems like a math. Yeah, this is one of those where all the
permutations. Oh my lord, Oh yeah, I think it's a lot.
But Shannon, yeah, let us know what you're thinking. You can chime
in whenever you don't have to. You can just speak freely. But she's
doing tabulations right now for them. This isn't Yeah, this feels like a
riddle. So I think how I would go through this is that first I
would I would go with the biggest denomination, right, So I would go
with twenty five, and I would break that twenty five down into right,
So there's one way if you'd use all twenty fives, that's like the biggest
one, and then you could use three twenty fives, so that's one.
You could use three twenty fives, and you can use twenty five divided by
five is five, so there's five nickels in there. So there's five ways
that you can do it, and then the rest being pennies. And then
I think, okay, I'm gonna just I'm going to just kind of start
guessing wildly, but I'm gonna I'm gonna guess in the like uh like,
uh, I'm going for now, I'm just gonna guess like the I'm gonna
guess thirty six thirty six ways, Alyssa, what are you thinking right now?
So I have a different approach, which I think is probably wrong,
which is that quarters. You have four quarters to make a dollar, dimes.
I forgot about dime ten ten to a dollar, nickels twenty, and
pennies one hundred, so I just sort of multiplied all those and got eighty
thousand. I'm not exactly sure if that's the right way to go about it.
Guess, Okay, so we have it's not right because it's not exactly
it, but like you could have you know, you could have ninety penny
or no, ninety Am I doing that wrong? Is that a dollar?
One hundred pennes? Yeah, you have ninety pennies one dime you could have
like you could have. Yeah, there's just a lot. So I'm hoping
it's just a multiplication thing. We have eighty thousand, We have thirty six
thirty six total, but I forgot about dimes. I will go in the
middle. I will go in the middle somewhere. I just did that weird
permutation thing. Math is my like, I am the worst at math.
So I just did, Like, there's five coins and permutations, so five
times four times three times two gave me one eighty. I know that's wrong.
It's probably many more than that. So we have thirty six, one
eighty and eighty thousand. Let's find out our answer. We're going to learn
a little something something Annie reveal put us out of our misery. Oh,
we're gonna find this out there. The answer of this question is two hundred
and ninety three. Let's learn a pretty close. Yeah, that was thousands
is so grazy crazy, I'm so I I but thirty six is pretty bad
too, And forgetting about dimes overall. Sure, sure there is sort of
shame in both, but more shame online. Yeah, let's learn about this
because the first thing that comes up, I'm like, oh, I even
forgot about this. That's what I did too. Yeah, this is counting
a dollar coin like the sack of Juweya or whatnot, as one option for
change. I forgot about that. The penny debate continues, but At this
point, the US Mint is making no plans to discontinue the coin. The
average lifespan of a US paper dollar is six point six years. That's interesting.
I don't know. Yeah, who takes it editor lost in the wash
or I think the bank trades it in for now it gets really rady,
They're like, let's let's put out some new ones. And the five dollar
bill has the shortest life span at four point seven years. But again that
answer, there are two hundred and ninety three ways to make change for a
dollar bill. Oh my god, we all learned something. And Shannon,
it was a pleasure to have you on the pod. Continued success with the
show and everything that you do, and hopefully we'll see you very soon in
real life. Yeah, thank you so much for having us this on the
