Okay. I give to these folks every month. This is an organization called
Color of Change. I heard about this organization from a woman named Heather McGee
who wrote a book called The Some of Them Us, one of the best
books I've read. Racism Costs Everyone. Yeah, it's an incredible I mean,
just to find like economically, I'm not like I don't love to read
about economics, but it's just really fascinating what racism does to us economically.
I will read to you now, hold on. I just want to read
the actual thing from their website so that I get it right. Okay.
The mission of Color of Change. Color of Change is the nation's largest online
racial justice organization. We help people respond effectively to injustice in the world around
us. So it feels like if you want to put your money where your
mouth is as far as racial justice and supporting people that are on the ground
doing the work, actually making the change, this is a really good place
to put your money. That is fantastic. Again, that's Color of Change,
Winter Lowers. We're happy to make a donation in your name to Color
but Change. And again, get that book by Heather McGee. The some
of us read it, reread it, make notes. It's unbelievable. You

And now it's time to meet your opponent from us. Still Water that was
the band's name from famous Yes Stillwater, Minnesota, the land of ten Thousand
Lakes. This guy, you've seen him everywhere. You've seen him on mad
Men, The Devil Wears Prada, Summer of eighty four, which is a
great little horror flick, the new movie BlackBerry, and also on the Minx
My Strike Brother from Another Mother Rich Summer is here today. Hello, Mike
and Lennon, what charity. Are you playing for good sir, Well,
I'm playing for my friends at Everyday Action, Everyday Action. I'll read their
little thing blurb off their website. Every Day Action safely, swiftly, and
legally. That's important rescues the leftover gourmet catered meals from TV and film sets,
select grocery stores, corporate events, food festivals, and more, and
delivers them to those in need, our local unhoused and underresourced communities of Los
Angeles struggling with food insecurity. One of the founders of Everyday Action is Hillary
Cohen, who was an AD on Mad Men and we stayed in light touch
since then, and she had kind of invited me to be a part of
the organization earlier on. So I've gotten to do some events with them,
and I just think it's a really smart idea. Anybody who spent any time
on a set knows that there is a profound amount of food waste, and
these guys are The network is mostly pas and other ads that are sort of
volunteering, and then there are a couple people on the payroll who just after
work drive all around to all the sets and gather food and take it to
where it can be put to good use, so I think that is beautiful
again, win or lose, We're happy to make a donation to every Day
Action in you name. You could follow Rich Summer on all the social media
platforms, but I think Instagram's your jam and that's the only one. Rich
Summer. You know our contestants, you know what terrific charities they're playing for.
But now it's time to get down to brass tacks and get back to
the game and go over our answers for what seems like a challenging General Knowledge
Round. But here we go. There were eight questions in the General Knowledge
Round. Question number one was how many ventricles in the human heart? Lenin?
What did you put? For number one? I put four? Or
rich what did you put? I also put four? Four and four you
were two too many? It's two. There are two ventricles, yeah,
and there's two atria or the atriums. You have one and two atriums one
and two ventricles, so it's two and two ventricles and atriums. No harm,
no foul. Let's get back on the trollet. No question number two
zero to zero. It's still anyone's game, No harm, no foul.
No points. I'm just saying I've heard to be clear that there's there's no
uh, no benefit, no harm, but no benefit. Here we go.
Question number two. Can you name the first Jewish Supreme Court justice,
male or female? I gave you the hint that the male has a college
or university named after him near Boston, mass Rich. What did you put
for number two? Put? RBG Ruth Vader Ginsburg, the notorious R the
G. Lennon. What did you put for number two? I know this
is wrong. It's Sandra Dye O'Connor, Sandraday O'Connor. She was the first
Jewish last name O'Connor. There were some Irish Jews, right, judges,
mom? You know her mom might have been who knows, who knows for
sure? That's a great guy. She was the first female Supreme Court justice
ever, Sandred O'Connor the late right. Yes, So let's do the male

Jewish. They named it after him, being the first Jewish Supreme Court justice.

Dave Kolia cut that's right. That deserves a splosh. Oh my god,
that is great? And do you agree with Rich? I put Journey Smollette.
Journey Smollette is the correct answer? Is Journey Smollette, wonderful actress?
For question number four, that did all those things? But Dave Coolier,

recent NBA championship. Can you name any of the three previous winners? Rich?
Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Clippers, the Clip Joint, Lenin,
what did you put? That's wrong? That's really wrong? I think I
don't. I don't know if they won in the past three years, but
the Golden State Warriors were on a tear, so I guessed them. Then
we have the clip Joint and the Warriors. We have the Milwaukee Bucks they
did it, the other LA team, the Lakers. Rich, you should
have gone with the Lakers and the Golden State Circle gets the square Lenin,
Parhum gets the point with the Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry and the Boys.
That's him. Question number seven. Jeffrey Wright portrayed what incredible postmodernist neo
expressionist artist in the biographical drama written and directed by a fellow artist, Julian
schnobble Lenin what did you put for number seven? I put Basquiacht, Jean
Michel Basquiat. Rich, what did you put? Robert Ross, Bob Ross,
Bobby Bobby Ross, the man with the trees, pretty little trees.
Surprised you did not know that one, Lennon embarrassing. It was Owen Wilson
that did a lot of people get Jeffrey right and Owen Witson mixed up.
But it was Jeffrey Wright. Jeffrey Wright portrayed Owen Wilson portraying Bob Ross.
He's that good. Yes, yes, the correct answer is Jean Michel Basquiat,
Basquillacht for number seven. I just saw. We just went to the
road as a family. Yeah, outing and you have you been there?
Rich? Have not been? Have you been? My not recently? But
is there an exhibit that's going now? They have some fresh Boss Giata And
we had just read that. We have a book about him and his life,
and we just read it to my son. Oh okay, so you
cheat it. That's fine. He really didn't want to read it, but
I was like, ready, that's we're going there tomorrow. And I learned
all about his life and then I saw his paintings. Yeah he is.
I love his stuff makes me feel stuff every time I look at him,
and I can just stare at him for many minutes on end in this space
off into his work with the movie. It was the first time I remember
seeing and knowing who Jeffrey Wright was, because he's so goddamn good in that
movie. He's good and everything. Yeah, he's a real good actor.
Yeah. All right. Finally, question number eight of eight in your General
Knowledge Round, The most Interesting Man in the World was a stellar advertising game
campaign for what libation rich. Before I give this answer, I want to
Actually I'm thinking, but can I Is it too late to change It's no,
no, I will allow it. I will allow it. I'm going
to change it based on I'm feeling like maybe you have a hint in there.
So I'm going to say Stella Artois, Stella r TLAs lenin. Do
you agree with that? Or did you go your own way? I think
okay, I put Heineken, but now I think it might be Quervo or
something. I was thinking tequila, but I couldn't think of a tequila brand.
So I was thinking Quervo as but I there are other famous brands of
tequila, but I could not think of them, And so there we are.
So is it Tequisa, the malt beverage that was flavored like a margarita.
Yes, that is correct. Now that is not correct. But you
might get a half point for bringing up Taquisa because that is a cut.
A lot of people will bring up Zema because that's the easy one to go
to, But Taquisa, That's That's what I'm talking about. I will put
you out of your misery. The most interesting man in the world was the
spokesperson for those ekis. Wow, I was hoping, well, I was
wrong anyway. I wrote Corona, and I scribbled that, wrote Medello,
and then I wrote Corona again. And then when you said stellar, I
was like, maybe there's a hint. There wasn't. Yeah, you were
thinking I was way too clever. Then I was hoping you were a friend.
It was dose Ekis. We have our first scoreboard update after a very

of the cap to Casablanca, round up the usual suspects, Lenon, What

Yeah, yeah, I want my kid to watch this movie. I love
that movie. It's good. It's good. I say. Gabriel Byrne has
a line in it where he says, you're making me tired all over.
I say it every day to my children. You're making me tired over.
It's great. What happened to Gabriel Byrne? Gabriel Burne? I miss you?
Just to be doing fine? Yeah he did. He was in Hereditary.
Uh huh. I think it was just a few years ago. But
I wonder if he's on a show or something that I'm not watching, because
that's probably where maybe there are hundreds, yeah, home or something. Question
number two is from eighty six. Well I should say you do Edward Jay

number five was from nineteen seventy nine Dallas Kine and the one that I think
would give you the hint Ripley Rich what did you put for number five?

by Sigourney Weaver. It is Alien for number fine nineteen seventy nine through me
because I didn't remember that that film was that old. Yeah it is.
It's kind of crazy, yeah, and it's crazy that that movie came.
It feels like late eighties, early nineties, like Tonally, it's like was
way ahead of its time, right read and even the way it was made
too. The look of it, You're like, Jesus, it's kind of
like Star Wars in seventy seven. You're like, I can't believe you see
other stuff from that era and it's terrible. It's schlocky and the special effects
are laughable. And then you're like, those movies kind of came out,
those two and you're like, oh my god, yeah, yeah, two
thousand and one blew the doors off, and then those two followed up and
just made everything look incredible. Question number six was from twenty thirteen Patsy Edwin
Epps and Solomon Northup. Lennon, What did you put for number six?

sure this is correct, but I do believe it is the brave little Toaster.
Ooh, the brave little Toaster. Do you have kids? Rich?
Of course? Why why do you ask? We had the Lupita Nyongo Michael
Fastbender, and she would tell Elijah for in twelve years a Slave based on
the memoir of Solomon Northup, that we get twelve there's a slave. One
best picture in twenty thirteen for number six. Number seven was from nineteen seventy

Green Gables, and I put Mash Mash. I won Most Improved for playing

the audience oh what I was talking about? And I was like, Chips,
They sway Patrol. Oh my god. They made it even a movie

it's already happening, and people are happening. How to hear you, old
man happening already? Back to the game. Question number seven was, of
course, Mash, the Robert Altman film version of Mash. And then question

ninety five tied Dianna and cher Lennon. What did you put for number eight?
Clueless? Clueless? Rich? What did you put? I've put clueless?
Damn. You guys finished very strong. That was a tough round.
We're tabulating the scores. Oh my god, look at this. At halftime,
we are tied at nine. Yes da, I'm talking about usual suspects
crawling back nine to nine at having times nine times. It is nine to
nine at halftime. And before we move on, I just wanted to reintroduce
our guests. We're playing with Lennon Parum. You can follow her on social
media at lenin Parum, and she is playing for the wonderful charity Color of
Change. And we're also here with Rich Summer. You can follow him on
social media at Rich Summer and he's playing for the excellent charity every Day Action.
We are all squared away at nine as we enter our third of four
rounds. It is the dreaded Lightning round. Round three, the lightning round.
We are tied, but we're going to go ladies first since it's a
tie ballgame. So you can choose from either of these three lightning round headings.
Again, these thing to do with the question or the answers. But
since it is kind of a blustery cold day out here, you can choose
from some of my favorite things that I used to come in from sledding or
ice skating. And you could choose either Campbell's tomato soup, spaghettios, or
a fried baloney sandwich. Maybe you're poison classic Campbells Campbell's tomato soup and a
grilled cheese. Are you kidding? Mike? Where did you grow up?
I grew up in the midwest and northwest Indiana, a little town called Chesterton,
which is right by Lake Michigan. So you can catch some snow there,
lake effect, lake effect snow, sure, lake effect all the time.
All right, So you choose Campbells tomato soup. I'm gonna say the
question twice. I'm gonna say, go, I'm gonna hit the button.
You're gonna have twenty seconds to say as many things as possible. Lenny Rich,
jot some answers down, because I'm gonna come to you with your five
second rebuttal as soon as her twenty seconds are up. Lennon, here is
your Campbell's tomato soup. Lightning round question. Can you give me the top
nine countries with the most nuclear weapons? Top nine countries of the world that
have the most nuclear weapons that we know of. Twenty seconds on the clock
and ago, the United States, Russia, South Korea, North Korea,
India, Japan. I'm going to say Britain, United Kingdom, and I'm
going to say Turkey and Vietnam. Stop. You did excellent, you did
great. You got one, two, three, four, You got five
of them. You got Russia, the United States, the UK, India,

second rebuttal, the top nine countries with the most nuclear weapons. Five seconds
and ago, China. I'm done. I'm done. You stop coming full
one. You got China you stole on they were number four. The one
that I think people oftentimes are surprised of, but they have a lot of
nuclear power that does a lot of stuff for them is France. France is
number three on the list. Israel Israel number six, and then since India
has them, Pakistan has to have them between their border disputes and whatnot.
So Pakistan was number eight on the list. But you guys did wonderful in
the Campbell's Tomato Soup Lightning round question. Now, Rich, it's your turn
in the barrel. You can choose either a bowl of spaghettios with maybe some
cut up hot dog in it, or a fried Boloney sandwich. Spaghettios Spaghetios.
Here we go, spaghetti O's here's your Spaghetio's question. The fried boloney
sandwich was kind of a food and drink question that'll just go back in the
hopper for a future game. Here's your Spaghettio's question. I'm gonna read it
twice, twenty seconds on the clock, and you want to jot some answers
down because I'm coming to you with your five second rebuttal as soon as Rich
is done. Rich, what I want to know from you the top nine
largest college football stadiums. Name the school or university so you don't have to
name the name of the stadium because they all have weird names named after like

I should have said from embarrassing. I'm embarrassed. Ah. So we're tabulating
our scores after a very fun lightning round, Rich Summer with twelve points and
Lennon takes the lead fifteen to twelve. After three it is fifteen to twelve
as we enter our fourth and final round between you two, and it is
the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe Round Round four. The double Duty. We call
it the double Duty because points are doubled, and today it's an extra special
double duty round because usually we have nine questions, but there are ten questions.
Oh my God. In this double duty round, there are twenty very
large points up four grabs. When you said Radcliffe, I was thinking Daniel
Theodore. Ah. And today we have one of our favorite rounds from our
listeners. It is a theme round. It's a theme round. So again
i'll explain this to everyone playing at home. The first nine out of ten
questions will seemingly be general knowledge questions, and question ten as always, what
is the theme of this round? So how do you find the theme?
It's within your answers. The more answers you get correct out of the first
nine should illustrate where my brain was thinking on this theme round. So we
know what the theme round is. There are ten questions in this theme round.
Here is question number one. Name the four letter French dessert? That
is a baked dish consisting of filling over a pastry base, but with the
open top so the top is not covered with pastry like a pie. Is

you're in the UK? What do Britz call a crispy er cookie? For

read somewhere that that could be gin, but it's mostly vodka and grapefruit juice
over ice. Again, let me repeat that. What cocktail consists of vodka?
Sometimes gin and grapefruit juice over ice? For question number three? All
right, Question number four, it's kind of long winded. What one word

Show? What was the name of the blue eagle? Kind of the furrowed
brow, the huge unibrow on the Muppets. For question number five, what
was his name? All right? Question number six, we are zooming right
along in your the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe round. This is a theme round.
Question number six, Name the film that was Diablo Cody's debut screenplay in
which she won both an oscar and a Bafta. For question number six,
name the film that was Diablo Cody's debut screenplay in which she won both an
oscar and a Bafta. For question number six, we have arrived at question
number seven. Question number seven, what do US Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin
Harrison, James Garfield, and Ulysses S. Grant have in common? Again?
For question number seven, what the US presidents Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Harrison,
James Garfield, and Ulysses S. Grant all have in common? For
question number seven? Question number eight, This might be a tough question.
Name the American statistician that founded the website five thirty eight. You always hear
this person's name when there's a nuts Yeah, name the American statistician that founded
the website five thirty eight. Anytime there's an election general or midterm, this
person's stats get bandied about a lot for question number eight, can you name
that statistician? For number eight? Nope? Well maybe no it was Can
you name him? Was the actual question? Yes or no? For you?
No? Correct for me? Yes it is correct God. And finally,
question number nine is your final kind of general knowledge question in this theme
round? What is the capital city of the state of Virginia? What is
the capital of Virginia? For question number nine? And finally, question number
ten is what is what in the hell is the theme of this round?
All right, pens down or pencils down. Let's go over your answers for
a lengthy double duty radcliff round ten questions today, and it was a theme
round. Seemed quite difficult. Let's find out what's what here? Question number
one of ten named the four letter French dessert. That's a big dish consisting
of filling over a pastry base with an open top. There's no the top
isn't covered with pastry like a pie. Lnin what did you put? For
number one? Tart? Tart? Rich? What did you put? I
put the same tart and tart It is a tart for number one? Question
number two, what do Brits call a crispy or cookie rich biscuits a biscuit,
Lenin, What did you put biscuit, biscuits and biscuits? It's biscuits.
Question number three, what drink consists of vodka and sometimes gin and grapefruit
juice over ice? Linen? I put down goose first because grey goose is
a famous gin, but then I cross that out, and then I put
it's actually a vodka, isn't it grey goose? Okay? And then I
put greyhound? Hey, gray Oh you got rich? What did you're solserhound?
Greyhound and greyhound? You guys are killing this. It is a greyhound?
Is that vodka? Drink with grape for juice sometimes gin? If you
like gin? Three for three, So the score is still where it's at.
That's a three point game. Going into question four, what one word
film from nineteen forty was based on the nineteen thirty eight Daphne du Maurier novel
of the same name. That was Alfred Hitchcock's US rectorial debut, Mister Summer.
Rebecca Rebecca Lennon, How is it? That's it? I put Laura,
Laura. There's also a famous like Cole Porter song. I was like,
it's got to be. But but Laura is not a French name,
so it is, in fact Rebecca. Yeah, Rebecca was Hitchcock's directory of
the debut, named after that wonderful novel by Daphney Dumoury. If for a
question for it was Rebecca and the score inches closer. Oh my god.
Question number five, what was the name of the blue Eagle on the Muppet
Show? Lennon, I am not a Muppets person, and I guessed Uncle
Sam Rich What did you put? It is Sam the Eagle, so you
got yes, I will give you two points a piece because he was kind
of he was kind of after Sam Donaldson, the news Man. He kind
of looks and sounds like a cross Sam donald So it's Sam. So I
think I have I think I know what the theme is. Question number six
Name the film that was Diablo Cody's debut screenplay in which she won both an
oscar and a Bafta Rich Juno Juno Lenin? What did you put? Juno
Juno is correct? You are killing this game. Question number seven? What
did the US President's Abe Lincoln, Benjamin Harrison, James Garfield, and Ulysses
ask Grant all have in common Lenin. I didn't know this, so I
did two answers, both of which I think might be wrong now that I
am getting to figure out what the theme is. I put born in Illinois,
slash taller than six feet. Ooh, those are great guesses, Rich,
What did you put? Beards? Beards? The correct answer is all
four of those dudes sported beards. They were all bearded presidents. Question number
eight, name the American statistician that founded the website five thirty eight that you
always hear around election time? Rich, what did you put? Nate Silver?
Nate Silver, Lenin? What did you put for number eight? I
did not know this. I put Ben Sinclair and then I crossed that out
because that's not right. And then I put Ben Foster. I crossed that
out, and I was like Ben something, because I was thinking of the
guy on CNBC or something. Anyway, His name isn't Ben either, but
it felt like the kind of person that would say those things is a Ben.
Oh, all these wonderful actors. Ben. The correct answer is Nate
Silver. Nate Silver that came up and founded five thirty eight For question number
eight. And finally, question number nine was your final kind of general knowledge?
Question is what is the capital of the US state of Virginia, Lenin,
I got I don't Fairfield, Virginia rich What did you put Charlotte?
Charlotte wrong? Both wrong? Question number nine was what was the capital of
Virginia? You said Fairfield and Charlotte. The correct answer is Richmond, rich
Richmond, Virginia. So number ten it all comes down to this, what
is the theme of this round, rich Summer. What did you get for
number ten? I'm only going to use answers four and five and say cheers,
and I'm going to ignore all the rest of the answers. Oh,
I gotcha, I gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Great,
Rebecca and Sam cheers, Lennon, what did you put Ted Lasso? Ted
Lasso? So we have Tart as in Jamie Tart. Ted always brings his
boss biscuits. They are the AFC Greyhounds. Rebecca's the boss. Sam Obasanie
is one of the players. Juno Temple plays Kei Lee coach Beard. Nate
is the assistant coach and his hair turns silver in season two or three when
he becomes bad. They are the AFC Richmond Greyhounds. The theme of this
is Ted Lasso. So we're tabulating this very close score. We have Lennon
Parham with twenty seven points and Rich Summer with twenty I knew it points,
but I knew it. Congratulations, we have yet another comeback. Twenty eight
to twenty seven is your final score. Rich Summer, you are, in
fact the smartest person in the world for one cotulations. Thank you, Lennon.

Burner. So that was one of our That was one of my favorite games
of all time. But the game is not over. We still have to
enter our final phase of the game. It is the final throw down,
the final throwdown. This is where Annie, our producer, will come back
and give us kind of a one off question. Rich. Since you won,
you'll get first crack at an answer. Lennon, you can talk about
some stuff. I'll throw in my two cents. We could discuss what we're
going to come up with, and then we're going to learn a little something
something about the answer to this wonderful question that Annie's got. So, Annie,
if you are ready, throw up the final throwdown question. I'll read
it to everyone a couple times and then we'll start our discussion. Here.
Here's the question, what do Americans spend the majority of their budget on?
What do Americans spend the majority of their budget on? A Rich If you
want to start us off, boy, I guess food. Food's a good
guess, Lennon, do you got any ideas from My first thought was food,
and then I thought maybe it's like the their shelter, like their their
rent, their mortgage. Yeah, housing and food are the two things that
popped into my head, and I housing was number one on my list because
I know, you know, you're not supposed to spend that much of your
budget. But I just know with how high rents have been that like a
lot of people are spending like fifty percent of their budget on just rent or
a mortgage or whatnot. But your right, food has been expensive as hell
since the pandemic, and you're spending so much for food just to stay alive.
I think those are great. So if it's something else, if it's
like could be like transportation, like your car, well, but that's not
going to be the majority of your budget. Yeah, only oh my god,
only fans is Yeah, newspapers those are the things of today. They've
gone up to three bucks a pop. Can you believe it? All Right,
so we got we got housing, we got food. Any other ideas
before we reveal our answer here. I think those are good guesses. I
think we're going to go with that housing, yeah, and food right there,
So Annie reveal the answer and then we're going to learn a little something
something about this. Here we go, it's housing. Let's learn a little
bit about this the average Sure, yeah, Lennon, you are co the
smartest people. We share, we share. We'll go back to our Yes,
so it is housing, and let's learn about this. The average US
consumer spends about twenty five grand a year on housing. This accounts for about
a third of their annual budgets. This is the average, so there's people
that, yeah, even spend more than that. The largest housing increase in
twenty twenty two is for lodging on out of town trips that went up thirty
eight percent, And the next two largest categories are transportation, followed by food.
So we kind of hit three of those things. But housing is the
most expensive thing that US Americans spend our money on. Well, you two,
it was a pleasure to have you on the pod, giving us one
of the greatest games of all time. I wish you, Yeah, I
wish you just the very best, and then so much work and fun and
good health in twenty twenty four. Back at you, Mike, Thank you
