fostered a bunch of beagles. They take not just beagles, but primarily beagles
out that have been in They've lived their whole lives in laboratory settings because they
still do lots of testing on animals. And this is gonna be a heartbreaking
way to start the show. It's the reason they choose beagles is because they
are the most forgiving of dogs. So yeah, yeah, that's a hard
detail. And so they rescue these beagles, they free them from these laboratories
where they've lived, you know, years, years and years just in a
laboratory, never been out. We had these two incredible dogs, Liam and
Whalen and they were in our backyard and it was literally watching them learned how
to be dogs, because like they'd never stepped on grass before, and you're
just like, oh my gosh, oh my god. And they're so sweet.
I didn't know what to expect. You know, we have our dog
Hiccup here, We're like, oh, what's that going to be? Like,
they're so wonderful. We have our daughter, like, they were so
sweet with her and they are doing good work, and so yeah, either
donate or if you can adopt a bagel, they're amazing, or even just
foster. It was an incredible experience for us to have Liam. And that
is beautiful. A tip of the cap to my old pal Dougie Fresh who

scratch and you can give to the Beagle Freedom Project or the Tegan and Sarah
Foundation, please do it. Now. You know our wonderful guests, you
know the tremendous causes they are playing for. But it's time to get back
to brass tacks and go over our answers for a very fun and interesting general
Knowledge Round. Question number one in the round was who is the genius behind
the many cartoons of the Far Side? Eric, what did you get for
number one? Gary Larson? Gary Larson? Gabe, what did you put?
I as well got Gary Larson. We got Gary Larson, and we
got Gary Larson. You would both be correct one for one? Yes,
read a sigh of relief. It is because it does make it easier to
have done the first one. Yeah, that's really setting them all downhill from
here. Yeah, wasn't that what? That was a golden age of opening
up the newspaper, wasn't it. I mean, why does he stop?
Like? I feel like he went Sallenger and just stopped in the world needs
now more than ever. Both he and Bill Waterson just at the same time,
and they were all so both just seemingly you know, they're just going
to do their own thing, and you know, very Salinger. Yeah,
who was the one. I don't know if it was Gary Larson, but
it was very similar and I think about it all the time in our current
political climate, but it was the cartoon that was slugs for salt where it
was like a charismatic slug preaching a bunch of slugs why they had to get
salt. And I think about it all the town age of slugs for salt.
Wow, yeah, it sounds like Gary Larson. Sounds something like that,
or it was an influence by Gary Larson. But yeah, I think
about a share of time. Yeah, it is, in fact the wonderful
Gary Larsen for question number one. Question number two is what is the capital
city of Taiwan? Gabe start us off for number two. Okay, this
was a real synapse fire I had put down. I wrote down a question
mark. I was ready to move on, but then I remembered I used
to play Nintendo little League World Series because you said little League, and am
I right that it's type Well, let's find out typeey from playing Nintendo little
League. I didn't know there was a little League World Series and it was
really good. I still remember some of the player's names. Saul Ward,
power hitter. That's Annie's husband, my best friend Ward, he's a warrior.
There's not many Wards out there. Oh, they never awards. Bring
me name boards. Yeah, I never met a bad Ward. You know
what, I change it forget big old Freedom project. I'm playing for wards.
Yeah, more awards, the more awards, the foundation. Annie might
think that there's enough wards, just enough, see too many, Eric,
What did you put for number two? I also had Taypey, but I
was worried that was just another name for Taiwan. I was worried as well.
Yeah, if you watch the Little League World Series, they won thirty
out of thirty two years during a stretch. I think they were just like
the dominant force around the world, and they always like whooped the United States
team for many many years. But it was always Chinese Typeei, and it
is TYPEI Taiwan or Typeey City. Could say Type pay City or Taypey.
I will accept both of those. For number two. You guys are two
for two, killing good, all right? Question number three, Contrary to
popular belief that she died when bitten by an ASP, what famous queen actually
poisoned herself? Mister Edelstein, Queen Anne, Queen Anne, Gabriel Tigerman.
What did you put for number three? I'm gonna go Cleopatra. We have
Queen Anne and have Queen Cleo. The correct answer is Cleo Patra Cleo damn
your Yeah, the beautiful face. Yeah, I forget. It's like Octavian
or something. At the time that won the Big Battle was going to like
parade her around in some like Roman triumphal parade and she was like, thanks,
Nope, going out on my terms. Buck, all that noise going
out this way? Wow. Question number four? What book series contains the
books titled The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy, among others.
Gabe, what did you come up with for number four? I've got not
a clue, not a clue. Eric, did you come up with something
for number of Chronicles of Narnia The Chronicles of Narnia Great Guests, the correct
answer, some of the other books that are The Last Battle and Prince Caspian
and The Voyage of the Dawn, Trader and the Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe. We are talking about the Chronicles number way. That answer deserves
a huzzah, son of a b shocked shock great pull by double e.
Wow. Yeah, those were the kind of I think, kind of the
two of the lesser known ones. So to pull that out, very good,
well done. Question number five, can you name four of the six
members of n w A Eric, Yeah, I got five, I got,
uh if there's extra credit, I got easy E, Yella, ice
Cube, doctor Dre and mc wren, and it did drive me nuts.
I could remember the sixth the sixth one I had never heard of, and
I'm like, I know them fairly well, and I was like, who
actually, yeah, fun fun fact. He was a collaborator. Gabe,
what did you put? I had easy E, ice Cube, Dre and
mc wren. Wow, you guys nailed it. It is doctor Dre,
easy E, ice Cube, mc wren, DJ Yella and then Arabian Prince
Arabian Prince. Have you guys ever heard of that ever? No? Uh
huh. And then I would have also accepted the doc who was just a
collaborator. He wasn't really like part of n w A, but he was.
He wrote a ton of their songs. So if you put the DC,
I will allow it. Give yourselves the point. But that was very
impressive, gentlemen. Thanks. Question number six, how does one say thank
you or you're welcome in Italian? Gabe, I've got gratier and pregol grazia
and preego Eric. What did you put a grazier and prego? Okay,
since you guys both nail. I can't give extra points. You guys do
give you one a piece. That was great accent. That's that's minus half
accent. I'm playing for the overall. I want all the points I can
get, so, actually, you know what, fuck it, let's give
you two points apiece and he gave them two points a piece. Both gratia
in prego with a great accent. Number seven Alex Cooper has one of the
biggest podcasts on the planet, which has the title call Her Blank. Fill
in the blank, Eric, what did you come up with for number seven?
Crazy? Call her crazy? Great guests, Gabe, what did you
put number seven? I apparently don't know podcasts? Uh so I just maybe
all her. Maybe that's a great one, you know, crazy, and
may write infringement. Probably the correct answer is call her Daddy, Call oh
daddy? Okay, the most listened to podcast like one of the most listened
to podcasts on a weekly basis in the world. Wow, Alex Cooper is
making some dough nice Question Number eight, what film has the famous movie quote?
You make me want to be a better man, Mister Tigerman, I'm

as it goods, but I meant to write as good as it gets,
as good as it goods. No, that was the sequel. Yeah,
Eric, what did you put for number eight? I had Jerry mc wire
but I think Gabe's right. Jerry mcwuies she did a quasi gave a quasi
hint with a good Jack Nicholson and press the solid Jack Nicholson real good.
But then I'm like, I'd give it like a C plus. It was
Jack Nicholson talking to was it hell a mont in? As good as it
gets? For number eight? That was fun. You guys did wonderful in
that round. Look at these scores. We've tabulated the scores. We have
Eric Eteleteen with six points, Gabriel Tigerman with seven. It's seven to six
after one, all right, it is seven to six after one as we
head into round two, which is our pop culture grab bag. Round two
pop Culture grab Bag Today. I am in heaven because we get to do
a sports category. You're both sports fans, and in particular it's around all
about baseball, the national pastime. These are all questions about bass ball.
I hear some of the groans out there in the ether. But then there's
other people that are high fiving themselves and being like finally, yes, no,
the groans are all coming from the house. Yeah, my wife and
daughter. Oh interest, oh interest. Put us three baseball nerds get to
nerd out on a baseball category. And I added an extra question, a
bonus question. So there are nine questions instead of eight in this baseball pop
culture grab bag. Here we go, Question number one of nine. The
New York Yankees, of course, have twenty seven World Series titles? Booers,
what team is next in line with eleven? What team is next in
line with eleven World Series titles? Oh? That is it is not the
Houston cult forty fives. I will give you that hint. Oh, oh,
thank you. That would have embarrassing. That would have been really Yeah,
this is not an easy question. The New York Yankees have twenty seven
World Series titles? What team is next in line with eleven? Question number
two. The great Roberto Clemente, one of my favorite players of all time,
who was the first Caribbean and first Latin American inducted into the Cooperstown finished
with what round number of hits for his career? That was cut short when
he died on New Year's Eve in a plane crash. But he finished his
career with a very round number of hits. Can you give me that number
of hits that the great Roberto Clemente finished with? Again, he was the
first Caribbean and first Latin American inducted into Cooperstown. And I think they even
changed the rules so that he could be inducted straight away after his tragic death.
Who was taking supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua when he passed away?
One of the greats of all times from Puerto Rico. But name the number
of hits he had he finished with in his career for number two? All
right? Question number three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career strikeouts
with an insane five thousand, seven hundred and fourteen. But can you name
can you name two of the three pitchers that rank right behind Nolan Ryan?
Two of the three pitchers a rank behind Nolan Ryan in most career strikeouts?
Again, for question number three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career
strikeouts with a whopping five thousand, seven hundred and fourteen. Can you name
two of the three pitchers that rank right behind him. All right. Question
number four might be my favorite. I think you guys are going to nail
this one, okay. Billy Ripkin's infamous baseball card had what written on the
knob of his bat as he posed for his baseball card picture. Again to
number four. Billy Ripkin's infamous baseball card it's from the nineteen eighty nine Fleer
baseball card set, had what written on the knob of his bat, and
it was legible as he pose or his picture. I always heard it was
a prank, but he came out and said he wrote this on his own
bat because it was his like batting practice bat. Oh, and he didn't
realize. Someone just was like, hey, can I take your picture?
And I think he just forgot that he had it. And then he was
like, I can't believe fleared and didn't catch that. He's like, it's
not my fault. Question number five. Question number five goes like this,
give me the names of the following players based on their nicknames. I'm going
to give you three nicknames. Give me the player, oh, mister October,
the Splendid Splinter, and crime Dog. Give me those three players' names
based on their nickname mister October is number one. Then you got the splendid
Splinter, and finally crime Dog. M all right. Question number six,
name the two magical bats used in the baseball flick The Natural? Can you
name both of the magical bats used by Roy Hobbs? Oh, you,
son of a bitch? One of them breaks? Yeah, spoiler alert if
you haven't see the movie yet. Can you name the two magical bats used
in the baseball flick The Natural? All right? Question number seven? Ricky
Henderson holds the record for stolen bases with an extraordinary one four hundred and six
career stolen bases. A player named Billy Hamilton from the late eighteen hundreds,
not the Billy Hamilton we know, but the one from the eighteen hundreds is
third on the list. Oh, can you name either the second or fourth
place leader in career stolen bases one or the other on that list, Number
two or number four? Yeah, Billy Hamilton that played, you know,
one hundred and forty years ago. Yeah, I don't think they had the
slide step. So he had some over one hundred stolen bases in four or
five years, and he only played for fourteen seasons, which was remarkable but
kind of a different era. But can you name who's number two or who's
number four on that list of career stolen base leaders major League baseball history?
All right? Question number eight, give me two of the three team names
from the Negro League teams that were based in Kansas City, Detroit or the
town Homestead. Kansas City, Detroit or Homestead. Can you give me two
of the three three team nicknames in the Negro Leagues? I am wearing a
Chicago American Giants hat. Look at that as tribute. All right, here's
your final question, kind of your bonus question, right bonus. We're doing
nine this time for the pop culture grab bag. We're talking about baseball,
our national pastime, nine times. Here's question number nine. Fenway Park has
been around for one hundred and twelve years and is the oldest baseball park and
the major is still in use to this day. Can you name three of
the four ballparks that trail Fenway in age and rage from one hundred and ten
to fifty eight years old? So can you name three of the four ballparks
that are still in use for this season that trail only Fenway Park in age?
All Right, pencils down, let's go over our answers and the pop
culture grab bag. Today we're talking about baseball. We had a bonus question,
so there were nine questions in this round. Question Number one was the
New York Yankees have twenty seven Holy Smoked World Series titles, but what team
is next in line with eleven titles? Gabe start us off for number one.
Well, they always like to tell you they have the best fans in
baseball. They play the game the right way, they're intolerable of the Saint
Louis Cardinals. Is that is a great guess, and you're very true about
all of that stuff. I agree. There's a Twitter account called Best Fans
in the Game and it's all Cardinals fans tweeting races Weedy. Yeah, take
that jewel. Great, there's many great knowledgeable fans. But yeah, yes,
Eric, what did you put for now? I think Gabe's right,
but I said the Athletics, the Athletics great guests. Athletics and Cardinals either
great guesses because they're all I think in the top three or four with the
Red Sox. The correct answer is the Saint Lewis Cardinals with eleven. I
believe the Athletics and Red Sox are maybe tied with nine each or something,
so they're right up there. But yeah, Cardinals and Red Sox have added
to their you know, I had so many. Yeah, one a ton
in Philadelphia more than the Phillies believe it or not, her oldest franchise.
Yeah, they have like Philadelphia and then like the seventies Oakland and then the
one in eighty nine, I think the Athletics. Yeah, great job,
Gabe pulling that out. Saint Louis Cardinals, big point for you. Number
two, the great Roberto Clemente, who was the first Caribbean and first Latin
American inducted into Cooperstown, finished with what round number of hits for his career
that was cut short when he died on New Year's Eve in a plane crash.
Eric, What did you put for number two? Three thousand, three
thousand hits? Gabe? What did you put? That's exactly what I put.
It is quite extraordinary. He finished his career with three thousand hits the
nose. It is that great barometer for Hall of Fame. But he was
going to go to the Hall of Fame no matter what. But yeah,
he finished his career incredibly with three thousand hits on the Dot. Question number
three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career strikeouts with a whopping five,
thy, seven and fourteen. Can you name two of the three pitchers
that rank right behind him? Gabe, Okay, I'm gonna go Cy Young
just on volume, as a volume play Gibson, Cale Gibson, Say,
Bob Gibson, Yeah, I'm in a deep draft. R your eighth pitcher
in the fantasyatly with Kyle Gibson. You're going Bob Gibson and Cy Young.
Eric, what did you put for number three? I was tempted to do
so Young, but I'm going to go Roger Clemens and Don Sutton. Oh,
those are great. I can't give it to either of you. Number
two because we're wrong, or to give you a jerk. These are all
great guesses. But number two on the list. We forgot about the big
unit. Randy Johnson is number two. Murderer, Yeah, murderer, for
sure. You mentioned Roger Clemens. He is number three on the list and
number four. Speaking of the Philadelphia Phillies, pitched a lot of years there,
Steve Carlton, Oh yeah, Carlton, Yeah, Clems does he get
one. I'm gonna give you. I'll give you, Yeah, I'll give
you a half point. I'll give you a half point for Roger Clemmons,
I'm in. That's good. Takes up in a half point. But I
do believe, Yeah, I believe Don Sutton and some of those other gents
were in like the top ten for sure. Isn't bly Leven way up there
too? Yes? Yeah, be home bly Levin is definitely up there.
I've never heard that. Yeah, just one of Chris Berman's uh's nicknames.
Levin Question number four, Billy Ripkins infamous baseball card, had what written on
the knob of his bat as he posed for his picture? Eric, do
you remember what was written on that bat? Fuck face? No? But
what's the what's the answer? Yeah, I mean to chet, Eric's gone
with fuck face? Gig, what did you put? This is an underrated
insult that I think needs to come back. More like I'm gonna go drive
poorly right now just to get a chance to call someone fuck face, which
is what I have, which was a referenced in eight Bit Christmas did you
watched, which joined our rotation this year? Yes, I have fuck face.
That is a great holiday film Great Baseball Card that indeed had the words
fuck and face written on the knob of his bat fuck face for number four.
If it were just fuck or just face, it wouldn't be as epic.
Fuck face is just tremendous, and that he's holding it so that you
can read it very easily. Yep. He even claims that Fleer made it
like clearer on purpose because he when he saw it, He's like, it
didn't look like that when I wrote it on there. I didn't do it
legibly. He's like, I just kind of quickly did it. He's like,
I think they did it to make it kind of be a thing,
and they put it out there and created the whole hubbub so that people just
bought, you know, all the corrected cards and all the original cards and
all that stuff. Conspiracy theories. That's Billy's Billy's conspiracy theory. Question number
five. Give me the names the following players based on their nicknames, Mister
October, the Splendid Splinter, and Crime Dog Gabe. What do you got?
Okay, I'm gonna go. Mister October. First is Reggie Jackson.
The Crime Dog is mister Fred McGriff I believe that Ted Williams is the splendid
Splinter with a question mark at the end of it. Eric, what do
you got, Yes, Reginald Martinez, Jackson, Theodore Samuel Williams, and
oh my god, you're pushing for extra points. You I just saw the
students that you are. He knows their confirmation names as well, if you
want those, that is beautiful. It is Reggie Jackson is mister October,
Ted Williams, Teddy ball Game is the splendid Splinter, and Crime Dog is
Fred McGriff who was always talked about Kenny Maine on Sports Center, always talked
about those Fred McGriff fielding tapes that you could buy. Yeah. Remember Tommansky.
Yeah, the tom Amnsky featuring Fred McGriff. Yeah, like the Tommansky
tapes that you can learn baseball your lowest rated episode. It's my sage us
question number six. We're talking about the great film The Natural starring Robert Redford.
Name to the two magical bats used in the baseball flick The Natural,
Eric, what did you get for number six? I just had wonder Boy,
Just wonder Boy, Gabe, what did you put? I have wonder
Boy and Thunder blaster, little known, little known second bat. There's a
second bat. I mean, I know it so close. It was called
finger blaster. Was the second bat that was not it? That is not
true at all, but the one when he breaks his bat and the big
guy and he goes, picked me out of winter Bobby and the bat boy
goes and he runs into the dugout and he opens his He made his own.
Roy Hobbs kind of helped him make it. And it was called Savoy
Special. Savoy Special is the name. That's a deep cut. But I'm
gonna give you a half point each forgetting wonder Boy. Thank you. It's
a tough question. Qushian. Number seven Ricky Henderson holds the record for stolen
bases with an extraordinary fourteen hundred and six. A player named Billy Hamilton from
the late eighteen hundreds his third on the list. What I wanted to know
from you is, can you name either who's number two or number four on
that list of stolen based leaders. Gabe, I'm gonna go with a known
racist, Ty Cobb, who also holds the record for most triples. Vince
Coleman is my number two, Hi Cobb and Vince Colemanos are great guests,
is Eric, What did you put? Number two is lou Brock. Number
four is to Cob. Oh my gosh, you son of a gun.
And there's an amazing book that came out about Ty Cobb by a guy named
Charles Learson a few years ago, and it actually paints a more complimentary picture
of him that basically a lot of that stuff was played up, and he
allowed it to be played up and allowed himself to be the bad guy.
But if you google Ty Cobb you'll find some amazing pictures with him. He
sought out Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Look at that. It's a fascinating
read. It's called a terrible beauty. And he also, yeah, he
did a lot of terrible shit too. Yeah, also fascinating. Like early
early stock buyer in Coca Cola, it was too cheap to pay his electric
bills, so he lived in this like mansion in northern California that was in
darkness because he got into fights. Yeah, yeah, very interesting book.
So the correct answer Number two on the lists for stone bases is the great
lou Brock. Lou Brock is number two and number four. I remember when
Ricky passed him was the great Ty Cobbs. We have Lou Brock and Ty
Cobb. So I'll give one point to Gabe. I'm gonna give two to
Eric forgetting because that's not easy stuff. Okay, question number eight, give
me two of the three team names from the Negro League teams that played their
ball in Kansas City, Detroit and or the town of Homestead, which is
very near Pittsburgh. They played most of their games, I think at the
Polo Grounds. But can you give me those names? Eric? Yes,
you have the Kansas City Monarchs, which had Satchel Page and Jackie Robinson,
and the Homestead Grays, where perhaps the greatest catcher of all time played,
Josh Gibson task Kids. Yeah, Gabe, what did you put? I
have Monarchs and Grays. Monarchs and Grays. You are correct, it is
the Monarchs and Gray is the team from Detroit. There's a great thirty for
thirty podcast about the Negro Leagues and it's the granddaughter of Turkey Sterns who played
for the Detroit Stars. They were called the Detroit Stars for many many years
in the Negro Leagues. So you have did you say Turkey Sterns one of
the best nicknames. Yeah, Turkey Stern, Yeah, Monarchs, Stars and
Grays. Are your answers for number eight? Well done? And then finally
question number nine, we're talking about old ballparks. Fenway Park is the oldest
at one hundred and twelve years old, but can you name three of the
four ballparks that trail Fenway in age that range from one hundred and ten years
old to fifty eight years young Gabe, what did you put? First of
all, I just want to say that you guys both look like you are
keeping a tallly of how many Major league stadiums you've been to in your lives.
Like you look like those guys, am I right? For sure?
I wish I've been to more. I need to, Like, I would
love to take that sabbatical and just take like a month off my life and
just go see all of them. I'd love to do that at some point
in my life, probably by myself. I have a friend who he goes
with his dad. They go on these tours and they like, they're like,
you get to go to these six stadiums and whatnot. Okay, So
I have a Dodger Stadium, which I believe is number two Wrigly Bush Stadium.
Yep, Wriggly Dodger and Bush Eric. What did you put Wriggly Field,
Dodger Stadium, Oakland Alamedia Coliseum, and Angel Stadium. Correct answer at
one hundred and ten is the friendly confines of Wriggly Field for the Chicago Cubs.
Oh, I said two, yeah, you're right, correct. And
then number two, but you're right, you have Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium
has been around for many many moons. And then number three and four they're
tied, and one of them is going to be soon to go by by.
It is, in fact the Big in Anaheim and the Oakland Alameda Colisseum,
which will soon to be no more after this season. But as of
right now, those are your four oldest. I think Kaufman Stadium from Kansas
City, which is supposed to league going to be going bye bye, they're
still one of the older stadiums. And then after that it's crazy because then
it's like the Rogers Center in Toronto guaranteed rate for my crappy White Sox and
Camden Yards are like in the top ten and you're like, wait a second,
those just came out. You're like noah, nope. And then you
have like the Rangers and Braves that build a new stadium every five minutes.
Right, great job, So Eric, a big point for that one.
Yeah, we're tabulating our scores after a very fun nerd out round from three
baseball nerds. That's bag. That was great, Yeah, amazing, Oh
my god, look at this score? What is it? At halftime?
We have Gabe, we have Gabriel Tigerman with thirteen and a half points,
and we have Eric Edelstein with fourteen. It's fourteen to thirteen and a half.
Wow. Time wow, whoa Okay, okay, all right, it
is fourteen to thirteen and a half. We're here with Eric Edelstein. You
can follow him at Eric J. Edelstein on the social media. He's playing
for the Tegan and Sarah Foundation. We're here with Gabriel Tigerman. You can
follow him at Gabriel Tigerman on Instagram and Twitter. He's playing for the Beagle
Freedom Project. As we enter round three of four, and it is the
infamous Lightning Round Round three, the Lightning Round. Gabe, you are trailing
by just a half point, but you get to go first, and you
could choose from these three categories. Today, we're going to for the rat
pack. You can picky to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Junior
for your lightning round question, Name your poison SDJ. It's going with Samus
Davis Junior for your lightning round A question. Okay, I'm gonna say it
twice. I'm gonna say go. You're gonna have twenty seconds to just say
as many answers as possible. Eric, You're going to jop some answers down
because I'm gonna come straight to you with your five second rebuttal. Here's your
Sammy day J question. Per The Independent, what are the top nine best
characters from the Lord of the Rings movie franchise? Per The Independent? This
is very subjective, but what are the top nine best characters from the Lord
of the Rings movie franchise? Twenty seconds on the clock and Ago, Gandolf,
the Gray Gandolf, the White Zaramon Frodo, Sam Wise, Pippin,
the other one, Mary Um, oh god, the precious Dolla stop stop
stop. I can't give you that one. So we're going to check that
out of the rotation. I'll give it to you. I'll give it to

You got one, two, three, four, five. You guys are
groveling. I love this all game, just groveling. You got five out
of the nine. You got Gandalf Gollum, Sodoman, Samwise, and a
Frodo of Baggins. There's still some on the board for you to try and
steal. Eric. Five seconds again, the top nine best characters from the
Lord of the Rings movie franchise five seconds and go. I don't know any
I can tell you about Sammy Davis Junior, though I have two books on
him. Here I thought I was about to clean up. Stop stop,
stop, will go over. The ones we didn't get to are number number
two, Aer Gorn, Eric Gorn ah Vigo. Yeah, number six Boro
Mere Boromere. He's only in the first one, but they had him on
their list. Seven. They had Bilbo, which is surprising because he's mostly
in the Hobbit stuff, but he shows up in those movies. And then
Orlando Bloom playing Legolas. Legolas was number eight on their list. But you
did great, Gabe angel Stein. It's your turn in the barrel. You
could choose either Old Blue Eyes or Dean Martin for your lightning round question.
I'll go, Dean Martin, go, Dean Martin. All right, Frank
Sinatra question, I'll just go back in the hopper for a future game.
Oh all right. I don't know if this is tough or easy. We're
going to find out here. You're Dean Martin. Lightning around question. What
I want to know from you? Eric Edelstein, can you name any of
the first nine Bible books of the Old Testament the Bible books of the Old
Testament, not New Testament in the Gospels, but the first nine Bible books
of the Old Testament. Twenty seconds on the clock and a go, uh,

Five seconds and go, is Colossus a thing a name that's a comic
book villain colossus that deserves a splosh. Let's go on, so we didn't
get to it's not all baseball, folks, It's not all baseball. Here
on. You should know better. You forgot Genesis, the Book of Genesis,
the one that starts at all the greatest. Yeah. Yeah. And
then if we're talking about Moses or Bob Marley album, we're talking about Exodus,
Genesis, Exodus, Godless Actors. Yeah, numbers, and then these
are the tougher ones. I think after the first five you got Joshua Judges,
Ruth and Samuel. Joshua Judges, Ruth and Samuel. But you got
a couple points there. We're talllling up our score, and here's our score.
After three we have Eric Edelstein with sixteen points and Gabe Tigerman he retakes
the lead. We're eighteen and a half. It's eighteen and a half to
sixteen. Lord of the Rings Baby Gabe's got a two and a half point
lead over Eric. As we enter our fourth and final round between you two,
it is the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe round Round four. The Double Duty.
We call it the Double Duty because points are doubled and there are nine
questions in this round, so there are eighteen very important points up four grabs.
The category for today's double duty is twenty first century female politicians. So
these are all female politicians that you've heard of in the news over the last
twenty plus years. Here is question one of nine. Lori Lightfoot joined Jane
Byrne, who served last century, but Lightfoot was in this century. Is
the only two females mayors out of the forty eight total mayors for what Midwestern
city? What Midwestern city has had those two female mayors Jane Byrne and more
recently Lori Lightfoot. All right? Question number two? What junior senator from
Alabama made a name for herself by giving one of the weirdest State of the
Union rebuttals? Ever, They've all been terrible. No matter what party,
the rebuttals are always the weirdest, quietest, and most strange things, wettiest,
thirstiest. Yeah, she said, hold all of my beers. Yeah,
Jindahl off the hook. Yeah, I mean I've never seen anything like.
I mean, politicians are actors. She is in need of acting lessons.
Correct, is terrific. It's one of the weirdest performances. Oh yeah,
but name her for number two? Question number three, can you three
of the four original members of the squad? Can you and a bunch of
people just turned off our podcast. I don't need that wok stuff. I
don't here not baseball? Can you name three of the four original members of
the squad? For question number three? We have arrived at question number four.
Christine Nome that's spelled noe M is the current Republican governor of what state?
Name the state that is? Has the Republican governor Christy Nome for number
four. She's been bandied about as a possible VP candidate. Katie BRIT's not
going to be that now, Oh my gosh, we can't have that.
We don't want that. Think of class. Question number five, Only the
third woman to be elected to Congress from the state of Arizona. What politicians
survived an assassination attempt? Back in twenty eleven? Question number five, Only
the third woman ever to be elected to Congress from the state of Arizona.
What politicians survived an assassination attempt back in twenty eleven? Last names will suffice?
All right? Question number six goes like this, Who is the longest
serving Republican Senator who first assumed her office back in nineteen ninety seven and serves
alongside her fellow senator Angus King. M I believe is an independent senator?
Again for question number six, who is the longest serving Republican Senator who first
assumed her office back in nineteen ninety seven and serves alongside her fellow senator from
the state, Angus King. Question number seven, What Georgia representative lost in
her bid for the governorship but created the organization Fair Fight Action to combat voter
suppression? Name that politician for number seven. What Georgia representative lost in her
bid for the governorship but created the organization Fair Fight Action to combat voter suppression?
For number seven? Question number eight, who became the first Republican woman
and the first Black woman to serve as Secretary of State? Again? For
question number eight, who became the first Republican woman and the first Black woman
to serve as Secretary of State? It might all come down to this question
number nine of nine in your twenty first century Female Politician's Double Duty Redcliffe Round.
Question number nine goes like this. Annie Parker became the first openly gay
mayor of one of the top ten cities in America. I think that's top
ten by population. Can you name that city? Anie Parker became the first
openly gay mayor of one of the top ten cities in America. I'll give
you the hint that it's a southern city name. That's for number nine.
Pencils down. Let's go over your answers and find out who are Champ's going
to be? Question number one of nine. Lori Lightfoot joined Jane Byrne,
who served last century, as the only two female mayors out of the forty
eight total mayors. For what Midwestern city? Eric? What did you get
for number one? Chicago? Chicago? That Toddle in town? Gabe,
what did you put Boom Chicago? Boom Chicago. We have Chicago in Chicago.
It is, in fact Chicago the second city for number one? Two
points a piece? Question number two? What junior senator from Alabama made a
name for herself by giving one of the weirdest State of the Union rebuttals?

You got all four of them, So give yourselves two points apiece. We
have Okazio, Cortes, Omar, Presley and Talib. Question number four,
Christy nom is the current Republican governor of what state? Gabe, listen.
I figure I may not know the answer, but maybe I know that you're
very sneaky and you're like, there's a there's a clue in the question,
and it's Alaska. Ooh. I like, oh hey love it. I
love where you're going with that, Christine. You know what I'm saying.
Oh oh, Alaska puns. Come my god, arden Fest. Do you
have any more? That's incredible that you had multiple always in the ready go,
Eric, what did you get for number four? South Dakota? So
we have Alaska and we have South Dakota. The correct answer is South Dakota.
Those are two very big points for Eric. The elite is a half
point right now, through four oh Question number five, only the third woman

For question number five, it is Gabby Gifford's. Question number six, who

the governorship to Brian Kemp, but created the organization Fair Fight Action to combat
voter suppression. Eric Stacy Abrams, Stacy Abrams, Gabe, what did you
put? That is what I have as well, Stacy Stacy and Stacy it
is Stacy Abrams for number seven. Comes down to these final questions to it
politics and my friend who knew? Question number eight? Who became the first
Republican woman and the first black woman to serve as Secretary of State? Gabe
Kandy, Kandy, Eric, what did you put? Condealeza Rice? If
Kandy and Condaleza Rice, it is, in fact Condaleza Rice for number eight.
We have a half point game as it comes down to this, Eric
question, do you know the answer to number nine? No? Big guess
only but based on the clue, but giant guess. Yeah. Mayors are
not my strong suit. Now, Okay, good, tough question. I
think you lived anywhere near here. So question number nine. Anise Parker became
the first openly game mayor of one of the top ten cities in America?
Can you name that city? I gave you the hint that it was a
southern city. So Eric, what did you guess for number nine? Atlanta
Georgia, Hot Atlanta, Georgia. Gabe, what did you put? That's
a good guess. I wrote down Miami. Ooh, Miami, and we
have Hotlanta. The correct answer. We have a problem. Houston, Texas
is that answer, Houston Texas is the is the mayor and in one of
the most insane minds of all time. It's a half point game. Eric
Edelstein with thirty two very impressive points and Gabe Tigerman with thirty two and a
half. Wow, it came down to Gollum. Gollum in the last second,
You're welcome. Oh that was a gift. Gabriel Tigerman. You are
the smartest person in the world for one week. This was rigged. This
is the thing, he said Gollum in twenty one seconds. We all heard
it. But they just want to do the Mike Nels. That's very fair.

The Final Throwdown. We have the final throw Down. This is where
Annie's gonna come back and do an off question. Annie. We'll be able
to discuss it and then throw some answers, and then Annie's going to reveal
the answer plus some fun facts. We're all going to learn a little something
something before we say our goodbye. So Annie at the ready, put up
the final throw down question. Here it is. I'll read it to the
world a couple of times. What is the prison? Oh Greek mythology called
what is the prison? In Greek mythology called anyone got a first knee jerk?
Reaction. I have something in the hopper. I literally went. We
did like trip of a lifetime family trip to Greece this summer. Oh my
god, and my daughter is studying Greek mythology. I gave her my old
that book of myths that do we all have it? I forget what it's
called. Oh, and I'm I'm really not sure, Eric, do you
got anything? I don't know. I think Annie's getting ready to go on
a Greek trip, so she's learning all about this stuff too. The thing
that popped into my head is the minotaur being in a labyrinth on your feet
or whatever. So like, I don't know if labyrinth is considered a prison,
that's more of just elaborate it's amaze. But Alisia is like a kind
of this place in the underworld where it was kind of like a medium place
in Limbo, the Allegian fields. Yes, yeah, that's all I can
kind of think of is just like, yeah, a labyrinth, we have
Alisia or Elysium. Anybody got any last gasps? The clink they called it
the clink they did, that's where it came for everything comes from, or
the Big House. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, who scow that
could be fun. Annie, put us out of our misery reveal. So
we're going to learn about this Greek prison. Oh, here we go.
I have heard of this. It's called Tartarus, Oh tar tar Us,
Tartarus, let's learn about it. It is a deep abyss used as a
dungeon of torment fun. It was a prison for monsters, defeated gods,
but also the souls of the most wicked mortals. Greeks believed the world was
egg shaped, and Tartarus was the same distance from Hades as Earth is to
the heavens, and the gates to Tartarus were bronze and placed there by Poseidon.
Tartarus, I'll never forget. That's the place where they send all the
bad people. Yeah, I'll remember it. Do you guys do do you
guys do little things to help you remember things? Because I'll say that cows
go to Tartarus and because of beef, Tartar there and it's never gone,
It's never gone. I have it. I have it forever now. And
I say to you, I'll think of getting my teeth cleaned in prison,
because I have a harder build up. So it's harder getting built up on
plaque and stuff on my seat, you know the prison, which is pretty
good. Gents. That was one for the books. It was a pleasure
to hang out for a couple hours and then hang with you guys, and
thanks so much for giving us one of the best games ever. And yeah,
I could just continued success in twenty four and can't wait to hang out
