won't shut up about winning three times on Jeopardy. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome
to you Should Know Better, the trivia podcast that tests your knowledge and a
little bit of your patience. Our goal here is to celebrate the theme of
continuing education. We should always be learning and always be on the prowl to

now, let's jump right into some questions and answers with our first to four
rounds today. Round one General knowledge is the general knowledge around binking caps on
YouTube pencils at They're ready, and away we go. There are eight questions
in the general knowledge around. Here is question number one to bust a myth.
A cow only has one stomach, But how many distinct compartments are there
in a cow's stomach? This is multiple choice. We've always heard cow had
multiple stomachs, but it actually has one stomach with different compartments. Does it
have two, three, or four distinct compartments in a cow's stomach For number
one, how do you feel after one? I feel okay, pretty confident,
We're okay. I feel like Jimmy better move over because I'm gonna win.
I thought it was six, So when you said two, three or
four, I was like, I'm already in trouble. Yeah, I'm already
in trouble. Two three or four different distinct compartments in a cow stomach for
question number one. Again to bust a myth, a cow only has one
stomach, But how many distinct compartments are there at a cow's stomach? Two,
three, or four for question number one? Question number two kind of
current events and music question Taylor Swift's new album is titled The Tortured Blank Department.

assortment of other food stuff's ingredients, so you can throw on in there.
It comes from what country? What country gives us hot pot or steamboat?

trip to Vegas, and it was incredible. I loved it. A very
fun way to eat hot potter. Steamboat is a dish made up of simmering

three billion dollars. That's all it took. Uh. For number four,

I'm all out of faith. This is what I feel. I'm cold and
I'm ashamed lying naked on the floor. I'm just going to tee you guys
up to seeing most of your answers today and I you know the listeners you
can't see it, but Jimmy is lying naked on the floor. I am
he is actually crying next to Natalie and Brouglia, lying naked on the floor.
It's majestic for those listening, Ah, I don't know how you got
your camera there. I'm going to change my answer here. I think I
probably was right the first time. Okay, here we go. We're on
the back half now in your general knowledge round, here's question number five of
eight. What comedy duo's films include The Corsican Brothers, Nice Dreams, and
Still Smoking? Name that comedy duo for question number five? What comedy duo's
films include The Corsican Brothers, Nice Dreams and Still Smokin' for number five?
This is getting excited, guys. I'm getting I'm getting a little warm under
my arms. And I think I think, Mike, did you know that
one? Urie? I might? I think I have a good idea of
who it would be as comedy duos go. I think I have a pretty
good sense of who that one those films might have been starring. It's not
Schwarzenegger and Devido, or is it. I love those guys, all right.
Question number six, I hope is right up your alley. It's a
question from your neck of the woods, where you guys spent some time.
What New York City museum has a museum on fifth Avenue as well as the
cloisters on Margaret Corbin Drive and Fort Tryon Park. It's the same Umbrella museum,
but it's got like two it's got a main one on Fifth Avenue,
and it's got the cloisters. It's the blank cloisters that's on the Margaret Corbin
Drive in Fort Tryon Park. They that famous New York City museum. For
question number six, all right, we're down to the final two questions.
We're onto your penultimate question. Question numbers of eight in the General Knowledge Round,

time. What actress portrayed the mother as well as your stereos doppelganger read and
Jordan Peel's US For question number seven? Okay, okay, And if I'm
asking for a person, last names will suffice on all these person questions.

Round, what percentage of US states need to ratify an amendment for it to
be added to the Constitution. I need that percentage or fraction of states that
need to ratify an amendment for it to be added to the Constitution. So
for question number eight, again, what percentage of US states are needed to
ratify an amendment for it to be added to the Constitution. We're almost at
thirty. There's I think twenty eight amendments. I think twenty eight or twenty.
I think it's twenty eight. Anny looked that up. How many?
How many amendments? Why since they've amended the Constitution? Yeah, I think
there was maybe one or two in the nineties or something with senators the way
we vote for senators and term limits or something that. That's about it.
But we'll have we'll have Annie look that up. Annie's telling us there are
twenty seven amendments to the Constitution of the United States. So pencils down,
gentlemen. We'll go over your answers in just a second second. But it's
time to meet our wonderful guests from Lyndhurst. New Baby, Yeah, Baby,

Broadway. He's got an ming film. I want I'm doing duo lingo with
French. But I want you to say the title joker fully a Joker Fully

which was just devastating. But man, go get yourself a dog.
Go write them a check. They do such beautiful work. And if you
can go rescue a dog and you want some more love in your life,
they are the people to do it. They have sanctuaries and rescues all around
the country and I just love them. I give them lots of money,
and when it's time for us to have another baby, we will go right
there to get them. Fantastic. We love the pooches, so win or
lose We're happy to make a donation in your name. It's Best Friends Animal
Society. We know when we sign up there's going to be a day in
the future. It's going to be hard cooking, but we do it over
and over and over again, because then unconditional love is second to none.
And now it's time to meet your wonderful opponent. He's he's lived everywhere.
He's lived in the suburbs of Houston and Dallas, Plano, New York.
He's la He's He's on a plane constantly because he works so much. He's
on Shrinking. Season two is in production right now. He was in spam
a lot with Jimmy in New York for a bunch of those months. He

What's the movie called? Michael good Rich. It starts Michael Keaton and me
Lacunis, Oh my God, good Rich. That's coming out this fall.
And then what other show are you on? Oh, Crapopolis. I'm a
voice on the show crap Popolis, which is a Fox animated comedy about the
Roman gods. I play Hermes, the Messenger God. That's so great,
right, really, it's a really funny show. I love. I love
going in there and doing voices. I love, yeah, being in a
booth. I don't get to do it much either, But I think it's
one of the coolest things as an actor because there's like the pressures off,
there's no camera on you. You can screw up a thousand times in a
row. They tell you how to say it. That's my favorite part.
It's like you get an audition for a TV show and you're like, well,
it could be nice, he could be angry. I don't know.
Well I got to really figure out Okay, maybe he feels this way,
and they Okay, now say it angry, Now say it happy. Now
say it happy, and then be angry. They tell you exactly how to
do it. It's great. Any idiot can do it, and we do.
Yeah, and we are and we are those idiots, Yes we are.
But one of the most talented actors I know. I'm very very happy
to work with you on on shrinking. My friend Michael Yery. Yes eyes
my good, Michael Ury. You can follow him on social media at Michael
Uri on Twitter and he's at Michael Yuri likes It on Instagram and Facebook.
Michael what charity are you playing for today? I'm playing for a charity called
Everyday Action, which is new to me. I only learned about it recently,
but I completely fell for it, and I fell in love with it,
felt felt for it in a loving way. I didn't fall through it.
They do. My friend Barrett Foa, who's a wonderful actor that I've
known for forever, he introduced me to them, and they are this really
cool uh organization that takes the unused food from film sets and gets it to
people who need the food, which is so cool because like anybody whos everybode
on a film that knows there's a lot of waste. Just in general,
there's a lot of waste because things have to move so quickly that you know,
like you know, there's always somebody that's I mean a lot of great
sets now have like a green person that makes sure things get recycled and all
that stuff. But like it's it's it, you know, because of the
hours that you work and the proximity that you're working to each other, Like
sometimes things get go by the wayside and there is too much food. And
so I just learned about this in the last couple of weeks, and so
I was really excited to get to talk about them and highlight them. They
have a big galap coming up this weekend where they're going to raise a bunch
of money, but but it'll mean a lot that we get to donate to
them. And and I'm going to talk to the folks that's shrinking about hopefully
us doing it, and yeah, it's cool, that's awesome. We have
We've had a previous players play for that wonderful charity and everyone just goes on
and on about how much great work they do. So again we're happy to
make a donation in your name, win or lose to every day action.
We got every day action. We have Best Friends Animal Society. You know,
our two wonderful players and these great charities. But it's time to get
back to the game and go over our owners for very fun General Knowledge Round.
There were eight questions in the round to bust a myth. For question
number one, a cow only has one stomach? But how many distinct compartments
are there in there? I said, you could choose either two, three,
or four distinct compartments. Jimmy, what did you put for number one?
I went down the middle and said three. He put tree. That's
a great guest. Tree compartments in a cow stomach. Michael Ury, do
you agree with that? Or did you go your own way? I went
with four because I had all this is a myth that I believed. I
always believed that cows had four stomachs. I think that's that's what the myth
was is. Yeah, cow had a shit ton of stomach. Drunk,
what is going on? But yeah, it's actually just one huge stomach with
one, two, three, four, no compartments. Smagoula is stymied,
while one to nothing. We could stop the game right here and Michael will
be our champ. Oh I refuse to question number two. Taylor Swift and
the Swifties. She has a new album and it is titled The Tortured Blank
Department. Michael, what did you put for number two? Poets poets plural,
the tortured Poets department. Jimmy, what did you put for number two?
I put poets also plural. We have poets and poets. The correct
answer is the tortured Poets Department. Jimmy's off the schneid. Now we're cooking
with gas. We're up to question number three. In the general knowledge round
hot potter steamboat is a dish made up of simmering soup stock along with an
assortment of other food stuffs and ingredients to add in, and comes from what
country, U Jimmy, would you put for number three? I said Vietnam,
but that could also be Korea. But I'm going to say Vietnam.
But he's going with Vietnam. Michael, what did you put? You mean
when you looked at your writing, you thought it could say Korea or well,
the first thing I wrote down was hot pot, so that wasn't right.
I think Vietnam, but I also think it could be Korea, but
I'm going with Vietnam. I too, have Korea scratched out? Whoa if
Korea and Vietnam, both of you guys are thinking Korea or Vietnam, Vietnam
or Korea career or Vietnam. The correct answer is China. It's a Chinese
dish. Hot pot is Chinese? My god, that deserves a splosh am
it all around it, you all, And it has that great jingle hot
pot. Yeah, it's hot pockets, Hot pockets, hot pot. I'm
going to go out a limb and say, is much better, much better
than a hot pocket. We just lost our sponsorship China, China. Question
number four, what credit card company recently acquired Discover or Discover Card and a
deal valued at over thirty five billion dollars? Michael, what did you put
for number four? I feel like I had a fifty to fifty chance here.
I don't think it was American Express. I don't think that American Express
needs that. I don't think they would do that. I think it's either
Visa or MasterCard. And I just sort of flipped a coin and I went
with MasterCard master Card? And Jimmy, what did you put? Now?
At first I wrote down Chase, But then I feel like I read about
this and I feel this is crazy and this might be so stupid. But
I feel like it was Wells Fargo. But are they a big enough bank
to acquire the Discover card? And I wrote down Wells Fargo. So I'm
just going to be banks aren't credit cards? Though banks? Doesn't it well
doesn't well Fargo have a credit card? But it's going to be Visa or
MasterCard? What about Chase? Chase? I have a Chase credit card,
but doesn't it have one of the one doesn't have a Visa or MasterCard logo?
All right, can I change my answer? Is it too late?
Sure? I'm gonna go with Visa. So we have MasterCard and Visa.
I like the way your brains were at the answer I was going for,
and I don't know if we get some groans out of you. It was
capital one? What's in your wallet? Capital one? With Samuel Jackson and
Jennifer Garner. See, Michael, that's a bank. Well that's what I
was actually on the right track, not you. You were You weren't going
to get it, but you were on the right track. Wow, you
were all around it, no harm, no foul. But I was going
for Capital one. I guess I could have phrased that better. We'll have
it. So this game is being played under protest. Michael Uriy's protesting this
for how I wrote that crappy question at anyone's game. I think we're gonna
do much better on this back half here, question number five. Comedy Duo's
films include The Corsican Brothers, Nice Dreams and Still Smoking Jimmy. I in
the say Abbin and Costello. I don't know Abbott and Costello. Michael Urie,
what did you put put Cheach and Chong. Oh, that's a good
one. Still smoking, still Smoking. We had up and Smoke and then
they had still Smoking. Great ones had a wedding album. Cheach Marin and
Tommy Chong. It is Cheech and Chong for number five. Question number six
goes like this, what New York City museum has a museum on Fifth Avenue
as well as the cloisters on Margaret Corbin Drive and Fort Tryon Park. I
just want the name, the main name of that that very famous museum.
Michael. What did you put for number six? Put Gougenheim, the googen
Heim. Jimmy, what did you put? I just put the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. We have the Gougenheim and we have the MET. The correct
answer is the MET. It is the MET and the MET cloisters. It's
the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the MET. If you put that shocked job,
Jimmy. Question number seven, what actress portrayed the mother as well as
her scary as Stoppelganger, Red and Jordan Peel's us. Jimmy, what did
you put for number seven? I put Lapita Nuongo Lupita Nyongo. Michael put
for number seven? I also put Lapita in your yay. I love her
very much. It is Lupita Nyongo, Lupita and Youngo, that great actress.
And then that portrayal when she plays Red is like one of the greatest
portrayals of any scary movie character ever. What she does with her voice scary.
Yeah. And finally, question number eight, a little government question.
What percentage of US states are needed to ratify an amendment for it to be
added to the Constitution of these here United States? Michael, what did you
put for number eight? I said seventy five percent? Seventy five percent or
three quarters? Jimmy, what did you put? I said two thirds,
because you said we could use a fraction thirds. Great guesses. I think
it gets voted on in both houses. So in the House and Senate it
needs to be two thirds. And then for it to be ratified, you
need three quarters of the states. You need seven five percent of the Michael,
to ratify it all around it you need two thirds voted on. But
the States it needs to be seventy five percent. So Michael one, Michael
got the point. Uh, here are our scores. After a very fun
general Maledgrohn, we have Jimmy on the board with three and Michael with five.
It's five to three after one. Anyone's game. Anyone's game, Jimmy,
anyone's game. Oh all right, it is five to three after one.
As we head into round two of four between our two gents. Here
it is our pop culture grab Bag, Round two. Pop culture grab Bag,
as always say in the grab bag, you're doing a TV round and
more specifically, these are all questions about TV shows that have like characters in
their titles. I think after we get a few under our belt, we'll

Question number seven goes like this on Beavis and butt Head, can you name
either of the real rock bands that adorn their T shirts? One has one
rock band written on their T shirt, the other has a different rock band.
Very famous rock bands that are real on the show when you see them,
like on merchandise and stuff, that they just give them kind of generic
name so they don't have to pay these rock bands any money. But I
think on the show they were the actual bands. That's what I want to
know. Just either of them. You don't need both, but you can
give me either of those rock bands that are on either Beavis or butt Head's
T shirt for number seven. And finally, here we are a question number

have a c DC and we have guns and roses. The correct answer is

most populous cities in the state of Florida. The nine most populous cities in

you can steal some answers the nine most populous cities in Florida your five second
rebuttal and Ago, Saint Petersburg, Tallahassee, Coconut Grove. Stop. You
stole two. You got Saint Pete, which was number five, and Tallahassee

excellent in the push up lighting around question. Let's go over the ones we
didn't get to. Tamper number three, Tampa Bay right next to Saint Pete
number three. Uh. The other ones were pretty tough, but they're very
populous. Number six was Hialia or Hialia is number six, number seven.
I know they have a spring training baseball in Port Saint Lucy. Port Port
Saint Lucy is number seven. Surprising. Saint Lucy is where my grandparents lived.
I can't indieve I didn't guess that. I just like call populous,
didn't think it was that big. It's probably one of those cities that's grown,
you know, like hundreds of thousands of fold or something since you've been
there. Number eight cape Coral cape coral is number eight. So I found
some of those quite interesting, but you nailed all the major ones. You
did well in the push up round. So Michael Eriot's your turn in the
barrel. You could either choose a bomb popp or a snow cone for your
lightning round question. Snow cone, I'm going to go with the snow cone.
Here we go. So the bomb pop question, it's kind of a
Shakespeare question that's just going to the hopper for a future game. You blew
it, know it, damn it? Blew it, you blew it.
It's okay. I think you're gonna be fine. Here is your snow cone
lightning round question. I'm gonna say it twice twenty seconds. Say as many
things as you want. Jimmy, write some answers down because I'm coming straight
to you with your five second rebuttal as soon as Michael's twenty seconds are up,
here's your snow cone lightning round question. I want the nine characters from
the Empire strikes back with the most words spoken. So these are the characters

Luke Skywalker, number three, you got R two D two, Number four,

and number eight was Orlando. How could you Lando Kelrissian for number eight?
There's still a few on the board. See if Jimmy can steal some
of these are still there, cow Patine, Let's see if you can steal
some with your five second rebuttal. Jimmy, here got one answer? Here
nine characters from the Empire strikes back with the most words spoken five seconds and
Ago I got one answer, Yoda. That's a great answer. Stop you
stole one. It is Yoda. Of course they're in the swamps a lot
in Empire strikes back the two. We didn't get to number two. Surprisingly,
just behind Han Solo is C three p O C and Knox Line.
Chewy. Chewy didn't say Chewbaca with his grunts and groans. I guess they
count it's gonna Chewbacca. But I thought he didn't really talk, you know,
speak words, and that's what I Yeah, you know, mist leading
on that one. Mike, I gotta say you did great though you got
almost all of them. In the snow Cone round. We have a scoreboard
update after three. We have Jimmy double digits killed the dozen. He's reached

two and a half. It's twenty two and a half to twelve after three.
As we enter our fourth and final round between you two. Round four,
the Double Duty. It is our Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe round. We
call it the Double Duty because points are doubled and there are nine questions instead
of eight in this round, so there are eighteen very large points up for
grabs today in the Double Duty we have one of our favorites of our listeners.
It is a theme round. So how this works is the first eight
of nine questions are seemingly going to be general knowledge questions, and question number
nine is always what is the theme? Well, you'll find your theme within
your answers, So the more answers you get the first eight questions, the
better chance you have of solving the theme. Or if you can figure out
the theme early on, that could help you answer a bunch of these questions.
So here we go. Question one of nine in the Double Duty.
This is a theme round. Question number one goes like this, and these
candies and frameo are popular types of what confection. People buy you a box
of Andy's candies or frangos, those are popular types of what confection For number

mint to chocolate, mint, chocolate, mince, Michael, what did
you put? I just have chocolates, chocolates. I'm gonna give the two
points to Jimmy because I mince was what I wanted. If you just put
mince, I'd give you the two points. But he said chocolate mints.

Northwest, and I wrote barista. Wow, I have a professional fisherman and
we have a barista, because that is the like where Starbucks got it,
like the Attle's Best. It's like where everyone got there started. Seems like
it's all those baristas and a fisherman what I was going for. He became

down trees in the weird forests of the Pacific Northwest. It was the weirdest
thing from Florida. Drives his boat into a hurricane blackout cut to He's a

a natural disaster, right because it was from drinking poopy. Yeah, but
it happened naturally, it wasn't you know, what do you think, Mike,

the longest river in Asia. The flood of nineteen thirty one covered thirty thousand
square miles. This flood led to the deaths of an estimated three point seven
million people. Whole shit, and the disaster may have been averted if proper
