tickets to Wheezer Kevin and McKinney. Not you. Oh, he kind of
have to pick you, right, Kevin? You there, Kevin, Hommy
geez it's throwing down dogs alright for shiz? All right, all right,
I taken a rest on the mayor thing, so I'm just Kevin, Okay,
all right, just Kevin. You need to choose your partner here.
You can either have it Ken. I'm just you either have Danny or your
fellow Kevin to team up with. Here in the Weezer brain teaser, it's
sort of general knowledge, sort of weird questions, nothing about actual Weezer,
so music knowledge doesn't really play a part. Who will you hit your wagonto?
Danny? Danny's my dude. He's a you know, the milk pastic
man. All right, it's a good choice, all right, Team Kevin,
McKinny, and Danny. I'm just gonna call it team Danny. Con
clarity, let's put you on hold. You are going to participate in this
game. You're gonna work with your partner, so just hang on a second.
Cool for it, gentlemen, Matt and prosper Hi, Matt, what's
up, guys? How you doing, dude, I'm not doing good after
losing the eliminator yesterday. Oh damn, he's back regular Hey, pays to
listen regularly and participate. You have a lot of chances to win stuff.
We like that. What's the last movie you saw, Matt? Last movie?
Oh, it's called Cabrini. Huh. It's good. Yeah, that's
pretty good. It's in theaters right now, Cabrini. Yeah, huh,
what a review? All right? It's team Matt and Kevin, Team Danny
with another Kevin that's also just the worst thing ever. Let's just call him
KT or Katie. You know what, Kevio Just kt Danny. No,
I screwed it up, kat and Matt, you call me Larry. Let's
just mix it up. You're definitely not Larry. It's Team Danny and Team
Kevin, and you guys just remember whose team you're on. All right.
We have three categories here in the Weezer brain Teaser, a pair of Weezer
tickets on the line. The three categories are titled Buddy Holly, Say it
Ain't So? And Beverly Hills. Okay, you are all going to play
this kind of at the same time. Some of them. You have to
be the first team to yell out the answer. Some of them you work
together, lock in your answer whatever I don't. It's pretty flimsy the rules.
So JJ, why don't you just pick a category for all these idiots
either Buddy Holly, say it Ain't so or Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills,
Please Beverly Hills. This one is the first team to yell in and lock
their correct answer gets the point, all right. The category is Beverly Hills.
Answers will either have the word Beverly or Hills in them. Okay.
Two thousand and six American horror film features a family drive through the New Mexico
Desert that leads them to a land of dis figured cannibals. First here,
yell, just yell on the answer. Whoever, whatever team is the Hills
have Eyes. The Hills Have Eyes is correct. Team Kevin wins. This
category is going to be a mess. Oh wait, we won with people
on the phones. This is going to be a mess. Let's go Let's
just put him on the Let's keep it messy. No, no, no,
let's go messy. You want to go Lionel MESSI full messy. Just
don't cuss, guys, Just nobody cuss. All right, Kevin, got
it right, So choose the next category. Buddy Holly, Buddy Holly.
The Lubbock This is another question. This is information for setup. The Lubbock
legend died in a tragic plane crash in February of nineteen fifty nine. In
this category, I'm going to give you an item, and each of you
are going to lock in a guess or of how much that item costs in
the year nineteen fifty nine. Gets closer, gets the point, Okay,
that's fun, all right, all right, you have to guess differently,
and you can work together. You can talk out loud, you can glean
information from the other team if you want. But you're gonna have to lock
in against the first item in nineteen fifty nine. I want you to tell
me the price of it, or the cost what was the federal hourly minimum
wage in nineteen fifty nine? Think aloud, throw your opponent off however you
want to do. Since I just guessed correctly Question one, I'm feeling good
about myself. I will say five dollars and fifteen cents. Okay, you're
locking that in five to fifteen. Yes, Kevin, we gotta go way
lower than that. The federal minimum wage in nineteen fifty nine was like a
buck twenty five. It's gotta be somewhere between a dollars fifty and three twenty
five. Danny, let's go with the dollar fifty. I'm gonna go on
the low end in fifty nine. That is a point for team Danny.
One dollar was the federal minimum wage. Just trying to throw them off,
Yevin. But you locked it, Oh, I didn't lock in our guests
collectively. All right, it's one to one, Okay, who's on hands
free? Which one of you is on hands free? I'm gonna need you
to put them both on. Put them both on if it's stressing me,
audience, sounds like somebody eating a chicken wrap. Tell you what you're now
not playing. You just have Kevin and Danny playing for you. Man,
Because that guy was one. Okay, if I need help, can I
bring my guy up? Yes? Okay, if you want to, you
can absolutely bring your guy. Stick around as lifelines don't leave. All right,
it's one on one team Danny. Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills. Again,
the answer will contain either the word Beverly or Hills in some form.
Uh, this is for both of you. Do yell out the answer.
Quicker, quicker the better. This woman was naked in the shower for Clark
Bingo, Beverly Dianngelo Beverly de Angelo is correct. That is two for team
Danny. It's pretty good. And to weigh in, all yell Bingo,
you you yelled Bluey No, their sisters just yell out the right answer.
I gave the wrong answer, and the answer was Bingo, he loves Blue
Buddy Holly, say it ain't so? Or Beverly Hills, Buddy Holly,
all right again. The year nineteen fifty nine. I want the price of
this item. How much did it cost? You're both playing take your time,
let's go rush here. What was the cost of a Chevrolet Kingswood station
wagon in nineteen fifty nine? A beautiful Chevrolet kings I'm gonna go with twenty
four hundred dollars station wagon twenty four hundred dollars, Kevio fifteen hundred dollars.
The price in nineteen fifty nine for a Chevrolet Kingswood station wagon was two thousand,
nine hundred and seventy dollars. That was another point for team at Danny.
I was close, though not really. I mean I was just as
close as he was. He was a little closer. Let's stay on,
Buddy Holly, Danny, go ahead. Nineteen fifty nine. What was the
price of a gallon of gas? Take your time, think about it,
talk aloud anything you want. The price of a gallon of gas in nineteen
fifty nine, the year Buddy Holly died. Buddy Holly a popular song by
the band Wheezer. I'm gonna go with thirty nine cents. I think it
was like twenty two cents Kevin. Gallon of gas in nineteen fifty nine cost
twenty five cents vin. That is a point for team Kevio. Tighten things
up three to two. Say it ain's so, my team Danny in the
lead, say it ain'ts so. People are smart. Tell me if these
things are true or not. They're essentially true or false questions. And uh,
I don't remember how to do this one. Oh yeah, you each
get a pick. You can you could both get a point here, okay,
or neither of you. Whatever, Just decide if you agree with that.
Just whatever, true or false. Every human body contains gold. True.
False. The answer is true. The human body contains about zero point
two milligrams of gold, mostly in our blood. We need to go find
it. Danny, Buddy Holly, Buddy, Holly. Again, this is
prices of things in nineteen fifty nine, the year Lubbock legend tragically died.
Uh reck. What's the price of a steam iron? Oh, for home,
use an iron, an electric steam iron. If you can use your
home a steam iron, they're not that expensive now. I'd probably say a
dollar eighty five. Danny locks in a dollar eighty five. Kevin, Okay,
this is a point for team. Kevin has a steam iron costs nine
dollars eighty six. Back then, you needed it more than you can get
one on Amazon for nine bucks a premium item. Danny has four. That
was new technology. Back then you had his partner Kevin KT and his partner
Matt have three points. Danny's in the lead. Kevin has the ball.
Let's go back to Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills. These answers will contain you
the word Beverly or Hills, and either of you can answer, just yell
the correct. Okay. This man was on top of the world with his
friend tenzig Norgay in nineteen fifty three. Denzi, Uh, I'm going to
bring on Kevin for some assistance. Kevin, you got an answer for this?
Yeah, this man was really on top of the world with his friend
Tenzig Norgay in nineteen fifty three. It's obviously the first guy that went to
the North Pole. I don't know his name. He's gonna have a surgery
in there somewhere, Danny. I have a feeling I'd like to bring on
to Matt and prosper. Okay, Matt, we're gonna go with Surgey big
Wang. Okay, let's put him on hold. Matt's laughing at himself.
Matt, you're there. You got any help here? I know that one
guy hit me. It was ed Hillary. Edmund Hillary is the correct answer.
See, that's why you got him on hold. He save your buns
there, Katie. His friend, the Sherpa tenz Ignor Gay. He summited
Mount ever, first man to do it, nineteen fifty three Hill in his
name, and that was team Kevin. Right, yep, all right,
weird deadlocked at four to four. Good job, Matt, I won't let
you down. Great job. Back on hold. He might back on hold
though all categories are open. Hold the phone up to your ear. Okay,
let's go with say it ain't so, say it ain't so. This
is true or false? You both get to pick your answer any order you
want, doesn't matter, matter true or false. Australia is wider than the
Moon. Wow, well that sounds really stupid. I think it's that's true.
This could be my green blood moment here. I'm gonna say false.
Australia is wider than the Moon. Huge, right, Australia is about twenty
five hundred miles across the Moon in diameter, about two thousand miles. It
is true. Australia is wider than the moon. And Danny sees is the
laid here and no way's their brain teaser? Five to four the score,
that's one. It's a really good reset. You really know, did you,
Danny? Because I feel I kind of feel that the Moon is not
as big as people think it is. Let's go with Beverly Hills, and
he's an expert on the moon, and it's not as far away as people
up there in space and we could see it thirty thousand feet give or take.
Beverly Hills. That's how big Australia would look if it was shaped like
the moon and in the sky slightly bigger than the moon. Because it's not
that Beverly Hills. Answers either contained the word Beverly or Hills and h first
one of y'all at the answer gets a point. This NBA Journeyman is a
funny meme of over celebrating that is correct when his Minnesota timber will secure a
playoff spot with a win over the Clippers, and that locks it up at
five and a fricking five, Only one left in Beverly Hills, one left
in Buddy Holly. Plenty left and say it ain't so, Kevin. You
have control say it ain't so. It's true or false? Uh, some
of these are stuff that we all thought we knew, we did know.
Are they true? Most of your body heat is lost through the head,
true? He said It was such confidence that I have to believe him to
hedge. But I think it could be lost through gas through your but the
mouth is on your head, but it could be the butt. It's the
other exit. I'm gonna go ahead, because he said it so fast,
I'm gonna say true. Most body heat is lost through the head is kind
of common knowledge but false. It's all about surface area. On a cold
day, you'd lose way more heat through any exposed leg or arm than you
over a bare head. No points, no points awarded, deadlock. It's
okay to the cab there though, because dandy goes true. Buddy Holly.
Last question in the Buddy Holly category. The year was nineteen fifty nine when
he passed away. What was the price of this item in the year nineteen
fifty nine? A postage stamp? Ooh fifty nine. I'm gonna go with
three cents. Four cents. We have a direct hit. Kevin. Kevin
is correct. Four cents. That is what a postage stamp would cost you
in nineteen fifty nine. That closes out the category, Buddy Holly. Kevin,
his team takes a six to five lead. You have control of the
board. We have a war close out Beverly Hills war. We have closing
out Beverly Hills. The answers either have the word Beverly or Hill in them,
Hills in them. First team to yell it out wins. If you
find yourself in Los Angele to listen in the late seventies, watch your neck
because this killer is on the loose. And the less name was oh my
god, good we did this. We did this in LA in the seventies.
If you find yourself in LA in the late seventies, watch your neck
because this killer is on the loose. The oh oh, oh, oh
my god. Okay, okay, okay, it's the Beverly Hills. That's
not the Beverly Hollywood Hills Strangler, the Beverly I'm going to remain silent.
That don't feel like the correct answer has been the Beverly Hill Strangler, the
Hills Strangler, just the Beverly Strangler. The Beverly Hills straggler stressed, what
the hell? What every hill strangler? The the hill Side Strangler is correct,
the Hills. I didn't call him that. Did they give you the
information that you don't know the name of him? Okay? No, I
spent two hours putting all the quiz together. I don't have follow up points
to every question. It is six to six. The Hillside Strangler was the
correct answer. We were down to one category two questions say it ain't so
is the category I need? True or false? You can answer the same
if you like you are tied. True or false? The Great Wall of
China is visible from space. That's true. It is true. The answer
is false. This a common misconception and popular culture. Every astronaut has looked.
None have verified that they can actually see the Great Wall while orbiting.
What did they teach us? And it is six to six? Okay?
It comes down to this is it and it's a true false question. You
have to answer differently. Yeah, okay, And you guys can negotiate with
each other however you want. It's a pretty hard one. True or false.
On Earth, sharks existed before trees did. False. I'll say true
for the spirit of the game. Sharks existed before trees did. Is true.
The earliest shark fossil dates back to four hundred and twenty million years ago.
The first trees appeared on Earth about four hundred and eight million years ago.
I don't believe it. Well, believe that Matt is going to see
Weezer and believe that you're Kevin is not. I know, it's a It's
a damn shame, Kevin, and we have a gd winner here leasure brain
teasing Matt and Prosper deserve it. After he got the mountain climber guy.
Right, Matt won this game. Han's down congratulations because he had time to
look it up on his damn phone. Yeah, you have to look up
tensig Norgay. Is your phone dead at nine in the morning talking to us?
My phone's dead, Okay, Matt, go on hold j j O
get your congratulations. Maddie. Sorry, Kevin, I'm sorry. I did
really good, behind tried real good for you, and I failed. That
is Weezer ticket pay number four giving away here on Weezer Wednesday. One more
coming up next we do We're gonna have talkbacks. We've got your birthdays.
But also joining us as a man who has experienced what's going on in Atlanta.
He has been drugged before, okay and robbed? What Yeah, it's
