bragged that it was the highest rated talk show, which I don't know how
that's trial did maybe daytimes, maybe daytime. I don't know, don't know.

tied at one one to one. You're both off the schneide starting out very
well. I love it. Here's a tough question though. Number two.
Who is the longest running host of the View? I think they've been on
for twenty three twenty four something like that years. We can maybe have Annie
look up the exact number. Nadine, what did you pick? Whoopee Goldberg?
Whoopee Goldberg? Great guest? Darren, what did you put? I
put Joy be Harror Whoopee Goldberg and Joy Behar. I think they've both been
on for a bajillion years. One of you is incorrect to one of you
is correct twenty five years. Annie is saying the correct answer is Joy bay
Ha Boy bey Har and forth with I didn't I know I was between them,
but then I was like I just feel like I've seen Joy. I
don't know, like that's a tough question. Why Joy? That's the thing.
We'll have Annie look up how many years Whoopie has been on because it's
probably like twenty one or so twenty four? Yeah, exactly two. Um,
great guesses. Those are the two. I thought I will cross that
out. You did well, you did well. Question number three? What
a luxury fashion house? Was founded in Milan in nineteen thirteen by Mario fill
In le Blanc Darren. What did you put? For number three? I
put Gucci? But I think that's just because we were at a Gucci event
last night, so I think I was just like, Gucci, How's up
Gucci? How up Gucci? Mario Gucci? And then I heard Lady gugas
a Gucci Gucci Nadine, do you agree with that? Or did you go
your own way? For number three? Well, here's the thing, it's
I wrote Gucci. But then the problem is Gucci's headquarters are in Florence.
I wanted to say, I wanted to say Valentino, Um, but I
think it's Gucci. But and I wrote Gucci. I'll show you, but
I this is where I was torn on ah, your final answer is Gucci.
I don't because it's not Milan. Are all right? We're Gucci and
Gucci. So in nineteen thirteen in Milan, Italian luxury fashion house was founded
by Mario Prada. Pradact me. Oh my god, Mario product, Nadine
idiot. That's such an idiot. I'm such a fraud, even your sad

I was thinking about product. It's okay, Nadine, we still love you.
Oh my god, I'm such an idiot. Well, one of us
still loves her, Mike, I'm one of us. Does I told you?
I said deal breaker? Ladies, I'm really upset with myself because I'm
actually Annie is chiming here. Annie is chiming game to say that whoopee Goldberg
was on for fifteen seasons, so she's been Joy has been on for twenty
five unbelievable. All right, let's see if we could get back on the
trolley with number five. I can't. I'm so mad at myself. What
hard rock band had hits dirty deeds done, dirt, cheap highway to Hell
and back in black? Nadine Metallica, Metallica, great guest, Darren,
What did you put for number four? I put Metallica because that's the only
hard rock band. I feel like I could, oh a little bit,
maybe that Guns and Roses. It was that a Guns and Roses was maybe
a little bit before. They had a lead singer named Bond Scott that passed
away very early on. And then I think Brian Jones, I think came
in. Where did you say stuff? The answer is ac is easy?
Back to Black? Oh my god, back in Black. I hit the
Sad Highway to Hell. That is by ac DC. Now you know,
all right? Ac DC? Wow, I'm just playing number four. They're
Dino Mite. They got a bunch of songs a c DC. Now you

What killed me? When you said that? Yeah? Back in black or
some people back in back in black, Back to black, Back to Black,
Amy Winehouse, Oh yeah, that's right, it's back in Black.
You got a c DC, but you had Metallica had an album that was
just called the Black Album as well. I think that's wrong. Something,
yes, something through me. So question number five, can you name two
of the three lead actresses? Isn't twenty sixteens hidden figures? Darren, I
didn't see it. I'm I guess Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis. Octavia Spencer
and Violet Davis. Great guesses, Nadine, what did you put? Octavia
Spencer and Genemne. The correct answers are Taraji p Henson, Jennelle al Money
my favorite person on the planet, and Octavia Spencer. So I go one,
I go one, Nadine get you need to. I should get half
a point, Mike, I never saw it. I should get half a
point. Judges, I know you gave someone else. Come on, they're
saying anyone. They're saying Darren's going to get a half point, Nadine's getting
full point. Then I should get half a point for knowing where the other
fashion houses were made. Should get negative eight points for not going product.
I'm just putting true. Judges are stive, are ahold by your answer?
They're they're horrified. Annie's throwing her up, She's so she's having anxiety.
I'm just saying, so upset with myself. You have no idea. God
continue, please Okay, it's okay. Question numbers so obvious, don't overthink
these things. Question number six, can you name two of the four professional
sports teams that currently play their home games at Crypto dot Com Arena formerly the
Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles? Nadine, what do you got? Lakers
Clippers? And here's where I should get extra credit points for the product or
Kings and Sparks. Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks. Darren, what
did you put for number six? I put Lakers, Kings and Clippers.
Baby wow, had to give two? I know you only had to give
two? Who Lakers and Kings the first two? I wrote? So if
the Clippers is summer summers and not Darren, Darren, you're going to get
a point. And I'm gonna give Nadine a point and a half for getting
all four. That's pretty n I know, Mike, is it she's better
looking than me? Is it because she's better looking? At metome? Judging
is very subjective? All right? This is where this is where things might
get a little crazy. Question number seven, what restaurant chain claims that America
runs on it? Darren, America be running on that? Duncan not Duncan
Donuts, just Duncan, just Duncan, Nadine, what did you put Duncan?
America runs on Duncan no longer dunkin Donuts? All right? And finally

occurred in what decade? Nadine, what did you put for number eight?
Oh? Nineteen thirties. Oh, the nineteen thirties. Great guess. Wonder
how we got that answer? I would have, Darren. I was walking
for a long time Mike about this, but I came up with the thirties
as well, thirties and the thirties. It was, in fact, all
those things were enacted by FDR from nineteen thirty three to nineteen thirty nine,

wrote mattress in the mattress, there's always money in the match. There are
the couch cushions or couch cushions. Couch cushions, Darren, what did you
put, I put the banana stand, the banana stand. Correct answer.
George Senior would say multiple times, Well, there's always money in the banana
stand. It is the banana stand where they sold their frozen bananas on the
boardwalk or stuff there. It's it's great. Yeah, the banana stand is
a joke that they use so many different ways and in so many funny ways.
They own the banana Stand. There's a watch I watched one. Liza
Banella was on like obviously you're just dropped in, don't know what the hell's
going on? Lucille number two, one of the best shows of all time.

had vertigo? Right, all right? Question number six, here's your here's
our math question. How many castaways were there on Gilligan's Island? Darren I
wrote six? Six good guests, Nadine, do you agree with that?
Nope? At seven? And I wrote them all down. Go through the
song. Let's go through the song here it's um with Gilligan, the Skipper,
two Millionaire and why Star Star Best Surf and a Marie Anne Why are
you doing that? Back? Is that your thing? So it's Yeah,
Gilligan, skipper millionaire, his wife, the movie star professor, and Mary
Anne. There are seven members. Wow, I was one off. I'm
actually very close happy with myself right there because I was between six or seven.
Six just felt like the rights sit come. Yeah, that's a good
number of friends and other things. Yeah, but there are seven here on
Gilligan's Island. Question number seven named the sitcom that centers around the Taiwanese Huang
family making their way in America in nineteen nineties Orlando, Florida. Nadine,
Fresh off the Boat, Fresh off the Boat, Darren, what did you
put? I put fresh off the Boat? The correct answer is fresh off
the Boat based on I think Yeah, I think it's Eddie Huang's memoir called
Fresh off the Boat. They made a show out of question number eight.
Yep on Seinfeld, The late great Philip Baker Hall famously played a lieutenant or
investigations officer on behalf of what New York Institution? Darren? Is this your
library? Like I put the like, mister bookman, I put the New
York Public Library Public Library. Mister Nadine, what did you put it?
I heard the quarters office. That's a good guess. It was, in
fact, the New York Public Library episode where Jerry checks out of the book
a book of Tropic of Cancer from the Seven that he gave George and and
and Philip Baker Hall's character Bookman. Lieutenant Bookman comes in and he's playing it
like he's a Friday from Dragnet and he just lays in and every time Jerry,
even Jerry's like breaking character and He's like, okay, mister funny man.

of cases. Huge Innocence Project fans, We talk about that a lot,
very very big, and the victim advocacy, and then the Peterman Chronicles is
j Peterman and I John O'Hurley himself and myself. We go through every single
episode of Seinfeld one week at a time, and then we interview all the
guest stars and everything. And the best part was, Mike, you're going
to appreciate this. But Nadine knows this because I called her after John and
I are recording our first podcast and like I'm talking about something and just In
Walks, Jason Alexander, and I like, I've met Jerry, I've met
Julia. I don't like I'll ever meet Michael Richards, but meeting Jason was

like I think sometimes it gets so dramatic that you lose sight of the comedy.

website site. It's called twenty four seven wallstreet dot com weird website, but
they had a thing that was the top nine most popular Doctor Sus books from
this website twenty four seven wallstreet dot com. What are the top nine most
popular Doctor SEUs books? Twenty seconds on the clock, Nadine and a go

Darren's got our chance to steal someone something right here, so Darren via twenty
four seven Wall Street dot Com. One of the top nine most popular Doctor
SEUs books. They're six still on the board. Five second rebuttal and a
go one fish, two fish, rep flue, cat and a hat Horton

fish, red fish, blue fish. That's not in their top nine,
nor was hop on Pop. And those are the two that Nadine kind of
melded made it. It was three pops hop on pops. Yes, Tupac
Tupac, that's what you did. But let's go over the ones we didn't
get to that are still famous that you'll be like, oh damn it.
Number three one of my favorites, the lorax, the lox, teaching the
love nature. The Lorax is number three. Um, you guys, did
great in the middle section here seven The Sneeches and of story. So The
Starbellied Sneeches is a famous book. This one I don't know as well,
and it maybe it was a later book, but it's called the The Butter
Battle Book. I don't know The Butter Battle either. And then number nine
is one of the earliest Doctor Seus's books I think of all times. And
to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street, I think that's one of
the first books he ever growing. I've never heard of that. By the
way, I just want you to know everyone out there listening, that Annie,
being the good producer she is, asked Nadine and I what our expertise
was, and Lea had we struggled to think of what our expertise was.
And then they meaning Annie and Mike, came back thinking it was Doctor Seus's
books. So this just goes to show the vote of confidence we have here
on this show. I just want I have to break the fourth wall here
for just a second, that Nadine, we're as small as a children's book.
I just want you to be aware hold on that that was a tough
question. And there's a really interesting funny story I don't know, a few
have time for this about doctor SEUs, and we don't know if it's true.
This is we went kayaking in La Joya, and the kayak guide,
this was two different times, told us that doctor Suus's house was where it
was situated. You could actually see it overlooking. Yeah, yeah, where
the caves are. And they said that he wrote The Grinch about his ex
wife and she lived up on the hill. I was like, I'm obsessed
with him. Yes, it was amazing, yes, and so she was
Yeah, so she was. She was the Grint on the hill and that's
where she lived. And it was all inspired from his ex wife that is
in his money. Basically SEUs. I think forever who knows who knows that
that's true. But I was told that story two different times, so I
don't know if it's like what they give the kayak guides. But it was
so funny and I was like, it was amazing. Spill the tea on
doctor SEUs and his ex wife. Oh my god, he was like a
he needed a Bravo show, Jesus. And then there were some like newer
books that I just was like, oh, yeah, I was an adult,
so I don't have kids. So I didn't buy any new books,
but he was. He kept writing for a long time. Um so we
have money, yeah, exactly to keep writing, to keep working. Yeah,
bish, I gotta do the Cat in the Hat Part seven One Fish,
two Bish, Redfish blue Bish. Divorce proceedings. Why is no one
buying this book? Um? So we have a scoreboard update. After a
very festive lightning round, we have a leader. We finally have a leader
after three rounds. Darren carp In the leader. I don't know if it's
been tied through through. What an equitable relationship we have? Yes, very
lovely Nadine Darren carp with eighteen and a half points. Nadine right on her
heels, Nadine were Jabbi with fifteen and a half. It's a three point
game as we head into our fourth and final round between you two round four
the Double Duty. We call it the Double Duty because points are doubled and
there are nine questions instead of eight, so they are eighteen very big important
points up for grabs. The category for your Double Duty Radcliff round is about
a decade. This is all about the nineteen nineties. This is all he's
going to crush the nineteen No, I don't know if I will. I
don't know if I will will. Let's see how we do here? Question

internet service provider? For question number one, Ellwood Edwards was famous for recording
the famous line you've got mail? How much money do you think? That?
Guy asks that? Probably it was probably it was probably a buyout.
It's probably a buyout. It was probably a nine union buyout because nowadays,
like, dude, you're getting a Dell guy like he didn't play that,
like Pumey is walking away with cash. Wow? Alright. Question number two,
this is a fun one. Can you name the three lead female characters

again, question number seven? What sex toy got a boost in popularity after
being astured in an episode of Sex in the City, The Turtle and the

hosted the Academy Awards a whopping six times during the nineteen nineties? Again for
question number eight? Sorry? Who hosted the Academy Awards or the Oscars A
whopping six times during the decade of the nineteen nineties? God, I still
remember when Helen Hunt beat o Kate wins letting she beat her out for as
good as it gets over Titanic and I was like distraught. I literally I
had feelings about it, Mike, I was. I was really upset.
And that's saying something too, because Titanic one everything else one like seventeen Oscars.
But but as good as it gets, was a very good movie.
Yeah, it's a fun movie. All right, Are you ready for the
final question? Yes? Can you give us a hand down? The Oscars

made two hundred dollars for the AOL reading. His wife worked there, and
he did it as a NY's not getting away with a talent contract like that
today. Hell no, no, I'm sane. I'm hoping that he made
money once it got famous. I'm hoping he got money to like show up.
I hope. So you've got you've got a birthday, You've got a
wedding anniverse like people just paid him money to just say stuff do cameos.

I hope for Elwood Edwards, which which is a great all right. Number
two was a fun one. Can you name all three the female characters from
Saved by the Bell Nadine, Kelly Kapowski, Leaves a Turtle and Jesse Spano,
Darren what did you put for number two? Jesse Spanni, Jesse Spano,
Kelly Copowski and LEAs a Turtle. Kelly Kapowski was the real reason I
literally know that I'm a gay woman, like solid was? It was that
it Kelly Kapowski. And that's weird? Is Medan's like brother and cousin they're
they're younger than her, so they're two years younger than me. And I

right cusp or something. They had no idea. I was like, Kelly

all time, like the best worst show of all time, and uh yeah,
I think everyone had crushes on all of these ladies. Yeah, I
loved I loved Kelly and Lisa a lot. I thought they were great.
Um, you nailed it, Kelly Kopowski, Jesse Spano, and Lisa Turtle.
Question number three, Princess Diana died in a car crash in a tunnel
in what European capital? Darren Paris France, Paris, France, Nadine,
what did you put Harris France? The correct answer is Paris, France.
For number three, you are three for three. The score remains the same
question number four. In the nineteen nineties, Wendy Kaufman read letters from actual
customers, and as for what drink brand Nadine Snapple Snapple is letters, it
was letters to the snap lady. She had her glasses, the big glasses.
I have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about, Like literally
not hearing of the glasses, and you still don't you know what. The
glasses drew me off that I put doctor Pepper because I was like smart,
I mean present Company excluded of course, Mike, you know glasses doctor you
know what I mean, like doctor doctor Pep. Snapple is a great,
great and Snapple is like in Seinfeld, Like it's like a drink that they
drink a lot in Seinfeld, which they'd like gear. I don't remember they
say when you whoever wasn't They go, I blah blah blah, and it
was a whole thing, and it was that was her campaign, good yest.
Yeah, they had the little fun facts underneath their caps. Nineteen nineties.
It was Snapple, Snapple drinks for number four. Oh, I think
things just got real tight. Question number five. This was a tough one
who famously told Vogue magazine about the life of being a supermodel. We don't
wake up for less than ten thousand dollars a day. Darren, what did
you guess for number five? I put Tyra Banks, Tyra Banks, great
guests, Nadine, what did you put? I put a lot of names?
Can I if I give you all through? How is that fair?
Yeah? Okay, I just want to hear she said, Yeah, I
want to hear what she says. I wrote, h Naomi Campbell Iman Claudia
shift for Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelous data of Angelista. Um. You know,
wait, put say Naomi Campbell. I feel like that. That feels
right. No, the thing is she is infamously troublesome or husband in the
past, you know, according to allegedly, according to reports, I don't
think it's Claudia ship because Claudia ship first seems really nice, and she did
like yes, and she was like the sexty girl. She was not outspoken.
It's not a mean thing to say. It's an I think no,
but it's a little like aloof and I don't do that. I would think
it'd be Naomi because of that. I would also think it's I don't think
it seemed on. She was married to David Bowie. David Bowie was a
saint, So I'm crossing her off my lips. Claudia ship is a good
guess. I don't have I named, have I named? Have I named
the person? Yet? I will neither confirm nor not. Yeah, he's
gotta be, he's gotta be. I'm closing off, Okay, crossing him
on. I'm crossing off. Hold on, I'm crossing him on. I
crossed off. So we could group think this like work shopping, this idea
work shopping and answer. Okay, okay, So it's so it's between Linda,
Christie and Naomi and seconds. Thanks Mike, Thank you, Mike,
thank you. Come on, twenty, give me twenty, Give me twenty,
give me twenty. Absolutely not. I said a guess. Five seconds,
five seconds, I'm gonna say, Christie Trillington, is that your final
answer? No? Just so sad and defeated. The name of this podcast
is sad and defeated. That was the purest answer I've heard from anyone on
this show ever. No, that your finals final answer? No? Um,
what is your final answer? Give you one last chance to change it
up or go with your gut? What is it? Really? He favors
you. That's Naomi didn't give become outspoken until two thousand. So it's between
Linda and Christie. But Linda evangelista question Drillington's too nice. Okay, Linda,
I swear to God if you can sabotage me, if you sabotage me,
I'm not sabotaging. That's not a threat. Um. But I mean,
I could be wrong, but I'm definitely not sabotaging Chris Tyra Banks.
So no, Tyra, it was later and Naomi later puty right now,
I'm gonna see Linda. Final final answer is Linda Lista. The correct answer
we don't wake up for less than ten thousand dollars is no Christie trillingdon Linda
event you got it right. That answer deserves a huzzah. Peter Jackson directed
your answer. It was so long, but it worked out. You got
the two points after that. Holy smokes um? Is this stressful? Mike?
I read Warren Peace twice waiting time. I studied harder for this than
my sat put it that way, and that's why I'm in television today.
That I tell you so great. This is wonderful. This is so fun.
Uh. Speaking of fun, number six is a fun one in the
Chumba Onemba one hit wonder tub thumping. That's a mouthful. The seemingly alcoholic
protagonist has four different kinds of drinks. Can you name one of them?
Nadine, whiskey. You take a whiskey drink? Whiskey is your answer?
Darren? What did you put for number six? Vodka drink. He took
a whiskey drink, he took a vodka drink, he took a lagger drink,
he took a cider drink. So it's whiskey, vodka, lagger and
cider. You both get the two points because you got whiskey and whiskey and
vodka. Do I get no after that last question? I can't. I
can't in good conscience give you anymore. I'm I'm taking over and I'm putting
it in. Oh my god. Yeah, Darren is now the judge as
well and the jury. Yes, all right. Number seven What sex toy?
Got a boost in popularity after being featured in an episode of Sex in
the City entitled The Turtle and the Hair. Darren the rabbit, Oh,
the rabbit, Nadine, what did you put a rabbit? A rabbit?
The correct answer is the rabbit? Four? Number seven, Holy smokes,
it's coming down to these final two. Question Number eight, who hosted the
Academy Stars? Gonna get it right? I have to give myself gold stars.
Yeah, give yourself a little gold stardom in our apartment physical bat Yeah,
pat on the back. I want these these pieces of paper to be
up on your refrigerators. We'll have a ceremonial burning of the product. Question
after that, Yes, yeah, yeah, I can't talk about that sor
sas the demons. Question number eight, who hosted the Academy Awards a whopping
six times during the nineteen nineties and eighteen. I wrote Billy Crystal because think
about what Harry met Sally, think about like he was in every he was
in, He was in every rom com. Billy Crystal excellent guest. That
was one I definitely thought you guys would think of, Darren. What did
you put? I was between Billy Crystal and Bob Hope, but I know
Bob Hope had ceremoniously like hosted them throughout the years. But the nineties you
said specifically, So I did go with Billy Crystal, but just no,
Bob Hope was also on my mind, but I don't Yeah, the way
I was seeing to as Steve Martin, but I didn't write again, yeah,
I think the great Bob Hope did a bunch yet, like in the
fifties or sixties. The correct answer, it's not what be Goldberg, It's
not Steve, not Joy Behar. It is Billy Crystal, Billy Crystal for
number eight, and then there was one holy smart one. What was the
name of the colorful plastic storage containers for all your hair accessory stickers, POGs,
jewelry, Tamagotchi, slap bracelet's, bubble tape, et cetera. From
the nineteen nineties, Darren, what did you come up with? Did you
have anything? My only I guess was trapp er Keeper, But I know
that that's wrong, but it's only because that was a nineties thing. I
had it in school. I had cogs, but I couldn't think of anything.
Okay, okay, you have trapper Keeper, Nadine, what did you
put for number nine? You know when is the Tamagotchi inn That was the
nineties? That was in the nineties. Yeah, it was a little like
digital pet I remember that. I thought it was. I think it's nineties.
It could have been later in the nineties. I mean, I wrote
kibboodle, kiboodleoodles. I never even heard of that a kaboodle. The correct
answer is a kibboodle or caboodle or those things where caboodles. We have a
final score. I held you with that last question, Babe. That puts
you over the top. Yeah, we have Darren Darren Carp with thirty and
a half points, which is a very impressive score, and we have Nadine
Rajabi with thirty three and a half three points, so it was Nadine Rajabi

because it's time for Annie to come back here and bring us our final
throwdown. Question. So it is time for the final throwdown. This is
where Annie, our producer, comes back with our final throat on question.
Nadine, you're gonna get first crack at a guess. We're gonna let Darren
chime in here. I'll add my own two cents and we're gonna we're gonna
learn a little bit about the question and the answer. So Annie, if
you're ready with the final throat down question, throw it up there. I'll
read it to the world a couple of times. What is Africa's largest country?
Is largest country? That's what I'm thinking. I'm pretty sure it's going
to be as largest country in terms of area or size. What is Africa's
large physical Yes, so population, you can talk it through um and again,
Yeah, we can come up with our answers. However, we come
up with them and then yeah, do you know this answer? Like,
are you playing with this, Mike? Yes, I can throw anyway.
Remember when Mike got that fucking Julius Caesar question or it was like and I
was like wrong, and I was like Abraham Lincoln in the car and then
Julius I was like this, it's totally rigged. He's rigging it. He
knows looks these answers up. Yeah, he's got glasses, he's eating snapple.
Just trying to think of the geography of Yeah, yeah, I have
a few few guesses, but this is a tough question. There are there
are a few very large countries, and there's also a country that was very
large that kind of his two countries now, so that kind of makes it
different. So I was going to bring that up, like Sudan now has
South Sudan or Southern Sudan Answudan, so like that can't count. So I
think that's not I don't think either of them is big enough anymore. So
yeah, I think that narrows it down a little bit. But there's a
couple that are very large that I'm like, there's two or three that are
still very big. Yeah, so very big. Yeah, I like.
I like Algeria, I like the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Chad's pretty
big, but I think it might be between those two. But that's like
that's where alla. And then I thought Egypt. Yeah, Egypt, Libya
is bigger than you think. Oh, Libya's might be bigger than Egypt.
I think a decent size, but they lost part of their things. Yeah,
Errea broke off from Ethiopia. How big is Mozambique. Um, that's
not very big. It's big, but it's but it's not as big as
some of these other Yeah, Nigeria is most one of the most populous,
just like South Africa and Nigeria with some of them. That's why I'm like,
if it's if it's large, it's got to be sized, because she
would have said most populous. So yeah, in which case I would have
probably said Nigeria. Think the Congo or I think you're right. I think
yeah, I think Algeria or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That's where
I'm leaning. So we can kind of I'll say Libya just to be a
little different, Okay, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Algeria. Yeah,
okay, I think you're right, but give you Nadine will say Algeria.
I'll say the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And then we got Darren saying
Lydia. I think we got our bases covered. I think I don't think
Chad is it. I think it's one of ours. So I think it's
Algeria. But let's see what it is and let's learn about this country of
Africa. Annie, take her away. Yeah, nine, Nadine gets it.
Spain Algeria. Let's learn a little bit about Algeria. Two point four
million kilometers roughly five times the size of Spain or five Spain's big. It's
the tenth largest country in the world, so it's in the top ten.
So Algeria is in the top ten largest countries in the world. Eighty percent
of Algeria is in the Saharan Desert. Their official language is Arabic, and
Algiers is the capital. Holy smokes, we learned a little bit more about
our northern African country of Algeria. Ladies, it was beyond a pleasure to
