Hello, You Should Know Better fans. As you may or may not know,
sag Aftra, the union I am a proud member of, as well
as many of our guests, has gone on strike. Part of adhering to
this work stoppage is that we cannot promote TV shows and films that are covered
in this contract dispute, so we are going to hold off on releasing any
new episodes until the strike is over. We don't want to get anyone in
trouble, but we will be reposting some of our favorite Jeopardy Champs episodes from
yesteryear, and as always, feel free to listen to any of our previous
fifty plus pods. We thank you for your support and understanding, and hopefully
we will be back real soon with some new and entertaining season two episodes of
You Should Know Better The Trivia Podcast. So, without further ado, on

tell us all about the twenty four hour Game show Marathon. Absolutely, Mike,
So the twenty four hour Game Show Marathon is. This is our tenth
year doing it. And what we do is me and Christian and a ton
of our friends, game show friends, just regular friends. We pile into
a TV studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and with software, buzzers, lights,
sound, the whole shebang, we recreate twenty four of our favorite game
shows all to raise money for Child's Play. Child's Play is Christian right.
Child's Play is a charity that provides not only toys and games and gaming consoles
to children in hospitals across America, but also provides services, therapy, anything
revolving around the power of play, which is a goal that definitely spoke to
me, spoke to Corey, spoke to a lot of the people that are
involved with the Game Show Marathon for whom play is important. This is something
that we look forward to every year, not only as a charity event,
but an opportunity to celebrate this type of television that we all love so much,
and to do it in person is an added bonus. We took a
break during COVID, but we came back last year, broke our record,
raised over eleven thousand dollars alone last year for Child's Play, and so we
are looking forward to doing even better this year. That is wonderful. We're
happy to give a double donation to Child's Play to help out with the twenty
four hour Game Show Marathon again, that's gonna be June third. Where can
people watch or participator or see all the festivities of the Game Show Marathon.
Yeah, so if they want to watch or donate, they can go to
our website, Game Show Marathon dot com. At the top they'll see our
little twitch feed where once we go live, you can watch the whole action.
You can also donate and see what games will be playing as well.
Beautiful. So yeah, if you're out there and you got some extra scratch,
look up that website and give the kids some money. That is fantastic.
Well, we know our contestants, we know what great charity they are
playing for. But now it's time to get back to the game and go
over our answers for the General Knowledge round. There were eight questions in the
round. Question number one kind of a weird one. Twinkie the Kid is
the mascot for Hostess Twinkies. Can you name three of the four things that
twink the Kid is wearing. We'll start with you, Corey. I'm now
under the sudden realization that a lot of people I know and respect are going
to listen to this. So sorry, guys. I wrote down a bandana,
a hat, and a belt. Excellent, Chris, what did you
put? I wrote? All right? So I just started thinking about general
cowboy stuff. I wrote hat, belt, boots, sash and chaps.
And when I said sash, I was thinking about whatever said his name,
and that maybe the bandanna. It may not because somehow it's seeking. He
wore a sash like the New Year's baby. This is great. Great guesses.
Here are your answers. Cowboy hats, cowboy boots, yes, damn
it? A kerchief? Is that a bandana or a bandana or a sash?
I guess? Point of order? A sash goes around the entire torso
point of order steaks yeah, extra extra, Corey smells. Do we have
a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, a kerchief and or bandana and gloves?
He's wearing gloves gloves. You can't eat a Twinkie wearing gloves, so there's
no belt. Don't think we could give you Sash. But I think it's
no harm, no fall. I think it's zero to zero. I think
it's all good. You guys are good clothes. As long as we're As
long as Sash is disqualified, I'm happy. Yeah, I think that's a
moral point for me. Yes, yes, we will. We won't soon
forget what Twinkie the kid is donning in his apparel. There Question number two,
who is Richard Nixon's first VP or Vice president? Chris? What did
you put? Number two? I wrote, Spiro Agnew, Spiro Agnew,
Corey, what did you put? I also wrote, Spiro Agnew, you
guys are off the schnide. It is nu nice question number two? Question
number three kind of a deeper cut in European capitals here. What is the
capital the country of Slovakia? Corey? I don't know how to say this,
but I wrote down Scopia Skopje. I think that's a city somewhere that
region, in that region. Very good guests, Christian. What did you
put? For number three? We'll see if I could pronounce what I wrote?
I put so Slovakia City. That place is a hotbed for gay shows.
Slovakia City, Scopia or Scope J like you were saying, I think
that might be North Macedonia or something like that, But you were close,
Corey. The correct answer Bratislava. Bratislava is the capital city of Slovakia.
One we won't soon forget it is Brotoslava. For number three, question number
four, Edward Woodward was the original Equalized are on CBS in the nineteen eighties.
But who are the two actors that have starred in The Equalizer? One
was a TV show and then they've done The Equalizer as a film series.
Can you name those two? Christian? What did you put for number four?
I wrote Tony Finelli and Brian Walsh? And who are they? Who
are they to you? Two friends from third grade? I thought they'd like
hearing their names on out out third grade? What was the teacher's name,
Oh, miss Galvin? Third grade? Yeah? I think I knocked down
her ficus tree one day, Christian. Yeah, she had a real deep
voice. Yes, yes, the dulcet tones of missus Galvin. Corey,
did you put the same two names? I hope amazingly? I said all
of Chris's third grade class. Incredible. I'm a huge classic TV fan,
so I knew this right away. I said, star of news radio day
fully and R and B Artistqueen Latifa. You got one of them, the
Queen of course, Queen Latifa. When they reprised the Equalizer on CBS.
Wit shit? Really the Yeah, Queen Latifa is the star of the Equalizer
on CBS. But in the film franchise, how soon we forget one of
the greatest actors of all time, Denzel Washington as the equalizer on film?
So I'll give you a half a point. We do half points here.
You got the Queen Latifa. Even if you pulled it out of your rump,
it deserves a half point. So you got a half point for Queen
Latifa. I was thinking of that movie Taxi. Yeah, oh yeah,
with Jimmy Fallon. What a great pairing. Yikes. Question number five.
Business magnate investor Warren Buffett has the nickname the Oracle or Sage of what us
City? Corey? I wrote, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City. Great guess,
Christian, what did you put? I thought he was from Texas?
I wrote Dallas, Dallas, both great guesses? Both in the same neck
of the woods. He is the sage or oracle of Omaha. Omaha got
it? Rasca knew was some of flyover nonsense? Yeah, ol Maha.
He loves Coca Cola if if you ever look up anything about him, he's
like invest in Coca Cola. He loves it. Question number six? What
grace fronted the band's Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and or just starship? For
number six? Christian? What did you put? I think I know this.
I wrote Grace Slick, Grace Slick. Corey, what did you put?
I wrote Grace Speedwagon. I thought maybe she'd she was the one in
that band too, Riding the Storm Out. I think that's the song from
our EO Speedwagon. But Christian gets the point. It is Grace Slick,
all right, the front woman for Jefferson Airplane. Don't you want somebody to
love? White Rabbit? All that stuff? Question number seven? What color
do thousands wear every June to commemorate the life of Hadiyah Pendleton, who was
shot and killed back in twenty thirteen, as well as the forty thousand plus
people killed by guns every year. Corey, what did you put? For
number seven? I don't know why, but I feel like I can see
purple in my head. So I wrote purple, purple, Christian. What
did you put? For number seven? Yeah? I didn't know it for
sure, but red seemed like a pretty pointing color to me, So I
wrote red, Red, Great guests. I think red is worn a lot
by the every Town for Gun Safety or Mom's Demand action. But in this
instance, in June commemorates the life of Hadiyah is orange. You'll see a
lot of people wearing orange T shirts to commemorate that. In June, question
number eight, who wrote the best selling books Everything? I never told you?
Little Fires Everywhere and Our Missing Hearts? Christian? Little Fires Everywhere was
the giveaway for me? I wrote Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear,
only you, Christian, only you, I hope. So, yeah,
Corey, what did you put? Jeffrey Chaucer. Jeffrey Chaucer. It was
his follow Those were his follow ups to the Canterbury Tales. Yeah, yeah,
he went, he went mass market is great. Yeah, what this
book needs is fire everywhere? Yet little ones, not big ones, little
ones. That answer deserves a splosh. None of that is true. None
of that is correct. Incredible author, best selling author that's just killing it
every time she puts out a book. Her name is Celeste Ing, Celeste
Ing, that's called eng. You'll see her books at every bookstore, on
every app, if you go to good Reads or something like that, or
Audible, you'll see her books all over the place. All right, we
are tabulating our scores right now, and after a very fun general knowledge,
we have Corey with one and a half points, thank you, Queen Latifa,
and Christian in the lead with two. It's two to one and a
half after one. Yeshof yeah, it's time to sash it up. So
it is two to one and a half after one Christians in the lead.

in and fill it in. And nothing came. So unless the movie is
called game, this is a wrong answer. Gotcha, Corey? What did
you put for number five. H I don't know why I wrote this,
but I think it might be right. I wrote Jerry's Game. Oh my
gosh, that is so close. I really want to give it to you,

Scott Card wrote What, nineteen eighty five military science fiction novel that was turned
into a twenty thirteen movie version starring Harrison Ford. Corey. I wrote down
Enders, Game, Enders, Game, Christian. What did you put for
number eight? That's right? And I could not think of it. I
did the same thing as I did for five. I wrote game and hope
something. But if you could tell about my confidence, I wrote game really
small for this one. Game was really huge for number five, and then
a very small game. That's right. I was scared by no time Number
eight, Game number eight. The correct answer is enders game. That's very
good, Corey. That answer deserves a huzzah Orson Scott Card, Yeah,

seven and a half at seven and a half to six at halftime. I'm

how granular are the point points get on this show. So it is seven

I came to them about six months ago. Was an idea. I
have experience, having been a contestant on half a dozen shows. I have
a little bit of journalistic experience. I had been doing a podcast for a
couple of years before that, and I said, what if I did this
show for you guys. And I talked to people who have been contestants on
game shows throughout the history of TV and just chronicled those experiences, compared notes,
and they loved the idea. The rest is history. We've been doing
the show for six months now, again called tell Us about Yourself. Conversations
with Game show contestants, available on Buzzer Blog, available on all the major
streaming services. And yeah, every week I talked to a contestant from the
history of game shows, and I've talked to some really cool people. Tom
McKee, who won eighty eight games of Tic Tac Dough back in the eighties,
three hundred thousand bucks. John Carpenter, the guy the first guy to
win a million bucks, used his lifeline to call his dad. I talked
to him on the show, the first ever a contestant on the first ever
episode of The Price Is Right, the first ever Jeopardy winner. I've talked
to some really incredible people, have gotten some fascinating stories, and the reception
has been great as well. So we're having the time of our lives making
it. Yeah, Corey, what did you want to add? Well,
the nice thing about the game show the podcast tell us about yourself. The
great thing about this podcast is that not only is it like a living document
of the history of television and game shows, but it really gives you that
viewpoint that when you look at the history of game shows, very few people
actively talk about Nobody talks about the stars of game shows and the stars.
I mean it's been said time and time again, Bob Barker, Alex Trebeck,
Mark el Wahlberg, They've all said the same thing. The star of
every game show is the contestants, and I really love that Chris is able
to connect with them on the level of I've been under the lights just like
you, I know how you were thinking. I can commiserate, but also
just his genuine human connection with people. He's a very good conversationalist. It's
always a blast to listen to. I get lost listening to these podcasts because
it's just such a good conversation. Well, so check out that podcast as
well. Let's get back to the game. It's seven and a half to
six. Corey's in the lead over Christian here. So Christian, it's time
to enter our third of four rounds today, Round three, the Lightning round.
It is the Lightning round, and since you are trailing, you get
to go first. So you can choose from these three categories. Again,
these category headings have nothing to do with the question nor the answers. But
since we're in the theme of game shows, I thought you could choose from
three of my favorite hosts of all time. Wink Martindale, Peter Tomarkin,
or Bert Convey name your poison. I am going to pick my actual favorite
game show host, which is Peter to market, let's do it. He
was so great pressure love. Peter Tommarken. All right, here is your
Peter to markin lightning round question. I'm gonna say it twice. I'm gonna
say go. You're gonna have twenty seconds on the clock. Say as many
answers as possible. Corey, you might want to write some answers down because
I'm gonna come straight to you with your five second rebuttal. Here is your
Peter Tomarken Lightning round question. I need for you Christian to name the nine
fastest land mammals, the nine fastest land mammals twenty seconds on the clock and
a go okay, Cheetah, Leopard, lion, tiger, ostrich emu,
uh, Flamingo, rocket power, gerbil h golden retriever Uh by Uncle Hector.
Uh, you got two. You got number one. Of course,
you got the cheetah and number six was a lion. You got the cheetah
and the lion, so you got two. There's seven still up for grabs.
Uncle Hector is pretty swift, but not in the top nine. And
Corey your chance to steal some answers. You're gonna have five second rebuttal again.
These are the nine fastest land mammals five seconds on the clock and a
go how on a Concord jet plane. There's a giant giraffe that's farting a
whole lop. God, I love the farting giraffe. Let's go over the
answers. We didn't get to Chester. Cheetah was number one, of course,
and then number two. You could have said any type of antelope.
We have a prong horn or a black book. Antelopes are very quick.
Number three kind of in that same world, a gazelle or a springbok.
Number four a horse number five, a will too beast, which is kind
of surprising that it's top five. Number seven is a hair number eight,
a greyhound. A number nine kind of surprised. Way two is a kangaroo.
A kangaroo can fly. That was your nine fastest land mammals for Peter
Tomarkan. So Corey, it's your chance. It's your turn in the barrel.
You could choose either Wink Martindale or Bert Convey. I think I will
select the late great Bert Convey. Please Bert Convey. What an awesome permanent
he had that permed hair for Bert Convey, So good? All right,
here is your Bert convey lightning round question. Per Rolling Stones twenty twenty one
list of the top one hundred motown songs, I need you to name the
top nine different Motown artists that topped their list. So even though there were
certain artists that had more than one hit in their top one hundred, their
top nine different artists or groups that topped their list. From Rolling Stones Motown
list from twenty twenty one, twenty seconds on the Clock and Ago, The
Supremes, the Four Tops, the Temptations, the Sherrell's, the Horsehounds,
the Queens, the Clubs, the Jacks, the Diamonds, the Uh the
Go goes, No uh Michael Jackson, no extra, no uh stop.
You got three right out. You got the Temptations, you got the Supremes,
and you got the Four Tops. You got the Four Top Supremes and
the Temptations. There's still six up for grabs. See if Christian can take
some from you again. For Rolling Stones twenty twenty one list the top one
hundred Motown songs, named the top nine different motown artists that topped their list.
Five Seconds on the Clock and Go, Marvin Gay, Tammy Terrell,
Deon Warwick, Michael Jackson, the Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther andros Stop
you stole one, the great Marvin Gay. Of course he was right up
there. Three Marvin Gay. Let's go over the ones we didn't get to.
Number one on their list, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles with tracks of
My Tears, I think was their number one song of all time. Number
four, Martha and the Van Della's number five my person an old favorite.
Stevie Wonder was on that label. You said, Michael Jackson, but it
was the Jackson five. You weren't too far off. Jackson five was number
seven. Can can I get a fifth of a point for that? Can
I get one fifth of a point? One fifth point? And I was
not really good at fractions, So this is gonna be a real ship.
And number nine was a tougher one, but they had some great songs.
Was the marvel Letts. They were one of the early Motown groups that had
hits, The marvel Letts. Yeah, yeah, post Man was the marvel
Etts for sure. So that was a very fun lightning around. We have
a new score. We have Christian with nine points and Corey still in the
lead with ten and a half. It's ten and a half to nine after
three. Again, it's ten and a half to nine after three as we
enter our fourth in final round between you two Jans. Round four, the
Double Duty. It is our Theodore Double Duty Radcliff Round. We call it
the Double Duty because points are doubled and there are nine large questions, so
there's eighteen big points up for grabs in this round. So it's anyone's game.
And since let's just keep this theme going, we got the twenty four
hour game show Marathon for Child's Play coming up on June third. So the
category of course for this round is just questions all about game shows. These
are game show questions for your Double Duty Radcliff round. Here's question number one
of nine. What MTV game show introduced us to Colin Quinn. Cary were
Adam Sandler and Dennis Leary. They all appeared on this awesome MTV show when
I was a kid. I loved it. Name that MTV game show that
introduced us to stand up comic Colin Quinn. The Lovely Cary were Adam Sandler
and Dennis Leary. For question number one, I'd like to go on the
record to state that Christian is buzzer blocks official game show historian, and he
was appearing on a four part news documentary series about the history of game shows.
So this is horseshit. Go on, oh, come on that good.
Question number two of nine, can you name three of the four hosts
of Family Feud that came between Richard Dawson and Steve Harvey? Can you name
three of the four hosts of Family Feud that came between Dick Dawson, who
creepily kissed every woman on the show, and the very funny, mustachioed Steve
Harvey. There were four hosts in between. Can you name three of those
four? For question number two, Hey, hey, cribs, yep,
you're writing them all down. I didn't want to show off, you know
you wanted to. I just wrote. I just wrote a few. No,
I wrote them off. Okay, okay, okay, I do too.
Yes, That's what I'm talking about. Okay, me too. Question
number three, what creature were you trying to avoid on the game show tick
Tack Dough? What creature were you trying to avoid on the game show tick
Tack Dough? Yeah? Yeah, there are two answers that except question number
four. You see behind me, I have my Little My, my candles
and my little fun codes of the greatest of all time, mister Alex Trebek.
So this this question's dedicated to the late great Alex Trebek. From nineteen
eighty seven to nineteen ninety one, Alex Trebek hosted what game Show? Concurrently
with his duties as host of Jeopardy, he hosted another game show that I
love to watch? Name that show that was out. From nineteen eighty seven
to nineteen ninety one, again, Alex Trebek in those years hosted what other
game show? Concurrently with his duties as host of Jeopardy. Take a day
off, Alex jeepers, All right, are you ready for question number five?
Oh? Yes, let's go, here we go. Question number five,
The US version of the Weakest Link had two female hosts? Can you
name them? It's been around two different times and they had two female hosts.
Can you name those female hosts of the US version of the Weakest Link?
Goodbye? I like question number six a lot. This is a good
one. Per BuzzFeed and Rancor, can you name two of the three prices
right? Games that made both of their top fives. Rancor and BuzzFeed both
had top five games that are played on the prices right, and can you
name two of the three that made both of those lists for question number six?
Question number seven maybe the greatest question of all time. The greatest moment
in game show history, of course, happened in nineteen seventy seven, when
Bob you Banks asked the question on The Newlywed Game, where specifically is the
weirdest place where you personally girls have ever gotten the urge to make whoopee?
And the wife responded with what answer? This was hidden from the world for
many years, but they finally unearthed it when Bob was hosting like a best
of game show Blooper's Show, So Again. Question number seven, the greatest
moment and game show history, happened in nineteen seventy seven. Bob you Banks
asked the question on the Newlywed Game where specifically is the weirdest place where you,
personally girls have ever gotten the urge to make whoopee? And the wife
of the couple responded with what answer question number eight. We usually don't do
this, but for question number eight, it's very subjective, but in my
opinion, there is only one right answer. Who, without a shadow of
a doubt, was the best celebrity panelist on the match game like the classic
match game Who Without a shadow of a doubt. Again, it's subjective,
but I think it's true. Was the best celebrity panelist on the match game?
For number eight? We're on to you finally, question number nine.
It could all come down to this question. Next time you're at the checkout
and you hear the beep, think of the fun you could be having on
What Game Show? Again? Question number nine. Next time you're at the
checkout and you hear the beep, think of the fun you could be having
on What Game Show? For question number nine and pancils down, gentlemen,
let's go of our answers for the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe Round. It was
a round all about game show. There were nine questions in this round.
Here's question number one. What MTV game show introduced us to? Colin Quinn
Cary were Adam Sandler and Dennis Leary Corey What did you put for number one?
I wrote one of the greatest game shows in MTV history, Remote Control?
Remote Control Christian, what did you put for number one? Yeah?
One of my first podcast guests in nineteen eighty nine lost on the show and
got launched out of her chair through the wall behind her. So it is
remote control. Excellent, excellent game show hosted by Ken Ober. It was
remote control for number one. Question number two, can you name three of
the four hosts of Family Feud that came between Dick Dawson and Steve Harvey?
Christian I wrote, yes, I can. I'm sure you can. Let's
stare him. Let's all right, so we'll do the Ray Holmes, Louis
Anderson, Richard Carne, and then somewhere there is Richard Dawson again. Yeah,
they brought him back. That brought him back. What did you put?
I wrote, Ray Combs, John O'Hurley, Louie Anderson, Al Roker,
Richard Karne, and Ricky Lake. You got most of the ones in
there, correct, So let's do this. You're both gonna get the two
points. It's Ray Combs, Louie Anderson. Then I think they brought in
Dick Dawson for like one season, Richard karn and John O'Hurley, and then
of course Steve Harvey took over after John oh Hurley. Question number three,
what creature were you trying to avoid on the game show tick tack a Doe,
Corey, I wrote the Dragon, the Dragon, Christian, what did
you put for number three? Animated using an Apple two computer? It's the
dragon? Yeah, yeah, it's like eight bit if that dragon you were
trying to avoid the dragon on tick tack dough. You guys are killing it.
This is awesome. Question number four. From nineteen eighty seven to nineteen
ninety one, Alex Trebek hosted What Game Show Can currently with his duties as
host of Jeopardy Christian, I love this show too, and this is the
first computer version of a game show I ever played. Also coincidentally on an
Apple two, Classic Concentration, Classic Concentration, Corey, what did you put?
From number four? I also wrote Classic Concentration, and then in parentheses,
I think also a little to tell the truth? Yeah, I think
again. If you look at his little MDB, Alex Trebecker like what shows
didn't he hosts? Like it's he's did a million? But yeah, I
was going for Classic Concentration. And since you guys love puns and plays on
word that that game show was right up your alley, so good. Question
number five the US version of the Weakest Link Head two female hosts. Can
you name them? Corey. Originally hosted by Anne Robinson, currently hosted by
Jane Lynch. Anne Robinson and Jane Lynch. Christian, do you agree with
that? Yeah? I forgot about the current one initially, but yeah,
I wrote and Robinson and Jade Lynch, you guys are on fire and fuego.
It was Anne Robinson who started things off, and then Jane A.
Lynch for question number five. All right, Question number six per BuzzFeed and
rancor, can you name two of the three prices right games that made both
of their top five lists? Christians? Start us off from number six?
I wrote the two that I thought would be on there. I wrote Plinko
and then I wrote holand one Plinko and holand one. Great guess is,
Corey, what did you put for number six? I wrote Plinko and Cliffhangers.
What's incredible is combined you got all three of them. You both get
the two points. It's play Cliffhangers and hole in one. When you're good,
you are good, and we are good. You guys are destroying this.
This is awesome. Question number seven. The greatest moment game show history
happened in nineteen seventy seven when Bobby Banks asked the question on the Newlywed Game,
where specifically is the weirdest place where you personally girls have ever gotten the
urge to make whoopee? And the wife of the couple responded with what answer
Corey? She said Mike si Nelson that she wanted to make woopy in her
ass? In her ass, Christian, what did you put from number seven?
Now? I haven't said this anywhere publicly yet, but stay tuned to
the podcast. She's as in the ass. I'm gonna give it to both
of you. It's in the ass, which her husband just go faws and
falls over laughing and everyone else dies laughing too. But she said, yeah,
the strangest place would be in the ass her question number seven? Question
number eight, who, without a shadow of a doubt, is the best
celebrity panelist on the Match Game? Christian? Well, if we're talking straight
batting average and popularity, I think it's probably commonly held to be Richard Dawson.
It's the greatest match game panelist, rich Dawson, great guests, Corey,
What did you put? I wrote down quote you would say, Richard
Dawson. That's the answer. I'm locking in. But unequivocally Betty White was
far less toxic and far more fun. Oh my god, this is the
most subjective question I've had on my show so far. I'm gonna have to
say no to both of you. We'll see if you guys are going to
be super upset if you say Fanny Flag, I'm leaving. It's not Fanny
Flag. I'm telling you my favorite of all time is Charles Nelson Riley.
I mean, that's hard to argue with. Yeah, that's fine. I'm
happy losing a point for that. Are you guys okay with? Yeah?
I love Betty White, She's tremendous. Yeah, Dick Dawson great guests.
But I'm like Charles Nelson Riley just killed me every time. Question number nine.
It comes down to this. Next time you're at the check out and
you hear the beep, think of the fun and you could be having on
what game show? Corey super Market sweep. Supermarket sweep. Excellent guest,
Christian, what did you put for number nine? It is this Households Thanksgiving
marathon viewing every year. Supermarket sweep. It is super Market Sweep. You
guys were just magnificent in the double duty round. We were tabulating our final
scores. Holy cow, it comes down to this, Christian. You finish
with twenty five points with almost almost perfect round by Christian. Cory finishes with
twenty six and a half. Corey, love It, Love it Otto,
you are, in fact the smartest person in the world for one week.
Holy shit, guys, that wasn't incredible to the double duty Radcliff round Wow
a one and a half point game. You both did tremendous in that final
round again, twenty six and a half to twenty five. That's how we
draw it up here that you should know better. Again, we're playing with
Corey on a tato, who is the smartest person in the world for one
week. You can follow him on social media act pack Dude on Twitter,
Instagram and TikTok, and you can follow Christian Carrion on Twitter and Instagram.
He's at Stranger Than See. We're happy to give a double donation to Child's

have oh no, the final throwdown. It's time for the final throwdown.
This is where Annie, our producer, comes back with a one off question.
It's about image in coca. Yeah, it's all that's gonna be ifan
coca, we're all gonna We're all gonna win. Everybody's a winner. So
she's gonna throw up the question here. I'll read it to the masses and
Corey you can get first crack at a guest. We'll let Christian chime in
and then I'll throw in my two cents and then we'll reveal the answer and
we'll learn a little bit of something about this question and answer. So Annie,
if you are ready with our final throwdown question, throw it up there.
All right, here we go. Here is your final throwdown question.
What does and this is in quotes. There's two letters, a U and
an L. What does you ll stand for on a light bulb? What
does the U L stand for on a light bulb? So we could talk
about this, Corey again, you get first crack in my first instinct is
and again I don't know why. Things just kind of get stuck in the
brain and then you kind of shake it out and it comes out like a
like a like a slot machine malfunction. Uh. I want to say something
along the lines of United Laboratories or something like that. I don't know.
I can see the logo. It's like you and then an Ellen. I
think they're intertwined or something. And it's on those old incandescent light bulbs that
you're not supposed to use anymore. I can see them vividly. But I
don't know. I think it's that something like that. That's great, Christian,
you got any thing to throw in here? Well, you know how
facts is kind of getting your head and start rumbling around like a vending machine
or whatever. This Corey said, I don't I know. It's it's one
of those things that I think I know for the same reason Cory said he
thinks he knows what it is. It's just something that gets in there.
I want to say, underwriter's laboratories. Yeah, that sounds right. Underwriter's
laboratories, like they might hold the patents or something. That's like you got
to put our letters on all of this ship something like hy KK on the
zipper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. I don't think I'm
gonna come up with anything better than that. So Underwriters, Uh, what
was the what was the last part? Laboratory, Yeah, laboratory, Yeah,
laboratories. Let's yeah, I'm kind of gonna go with Christian and Corey
on this one. So let's let's see the answer and then we'll learn a
little bit about this with some factoids here. Yeah, you look at that,
so like we got smartest people of the world for one week all over
the place. Christian gets it. It is Underwriter's laboratory, so let's learn
a little bit about this. UEL means the product has been tested by Underwriters
Laboratories for Fire and Electrical Safety. UL is the largest nonprofit and best known
testing laboratory in the world, and founder William Merrill was sent to Chicago World's
Fair in eighteen ninety three to assess fire risk for the twenty seven million attendees.
Because yeah, that was the white city was all lit up, and
Merril proposed a testing lab to the Underwriters and you el was born. Holy
smokes, Christian, well, well doascinating hell of a game, so great
