Speaker 3: for this one, Emmett, what did you put? I wrote
Speaker 3: Chili's Chillies, baby back ribs. Chili's baby back ribs. It
Speaker 3: is Chilies. It was a great guest without back, but
Speaker 3: it is Chili's that had that earworm of a jingle
Speaker 3: that I was going to say.
Speaker 2: I sang Chili's, but I muted myself to save to
Speaker 2: everyone the embarrassment.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. It was when Chili's like first came
Speaker 3: on the map. I remember an uncle took me to
Speaker 3: one and I was like, whoa, this is like fancy dining.
Speaker 3: I thought it was so cool. From being a hill
Speaker 3: jack ribs, I don't think I had the ribs. I
Speaker 3: wasn't a big rib guy growing up, so I know
Speaker 3: I blew it. I blew it. I've grown to like them,

Speaker 3: that kid that liked you know, burgers and nuggets and
Speaker 3: yeah rib and a rack of ribs and a rack.
Speaker 1: Of spare ribs.
Speaker 3: Question number six was our Sopranos question. Name either of
Speaker 3: the children on the HBO series The Sopranos, Emmett, I have.
Speaker 2: Not seen the series, and I'm not familiar with the
Speaker 2: character's name, so I wrote allegra beautiful.
Speaker 3: That could be a point for creativity. Allegra love it gorgeous.
Speaker 3: There's not enough allegras out there. I tell you what, Melissa,
Speaker 3: what did you put?
Speaker 5: Meadow? I think maybe the daughter's name is Meadow.
Speaker 3: Meadow Jamie Lynn Sigler played Meadow the daughter. And then
Speaker 3: I forget what the kid's name Robert Eyler, I think
Speaker 3: was his name? Played aj Or Anthony Junior. Aj Or
Speaker 3: Anthony Junior and Meadow were the two Sopranos children, Melissa,
Speaker 3: big point there on number six. Question number seven. Rumi
Speaker 3: was a thirteenth century Persian poet. But besides Persian, he
Speaker 3: wrote in three other languages from time to time? Can

Speaker 3: to be the US Surgeon General? Emmett? Did it come
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 2: I remember the quotation if I could be the condom queen,

Speaker 2: about that at all.
Speaker 3: Okay, condom Queen, Joscelyn Elder, Melissa, what did you put
Speaker 3: Joscelyn Elder. She's got an S at the end of
Speaker 3: her name, but it doesn't matter. It's Joscelyn Elders. You
Speaker 3: nailed it. You're both getting the point. Antonia Novello was
Speaker 3: the first woman and the first Hispanic woman to be
Speaker 3: surgeon general, and she was like right before I think
Speaker 3: Joscelyn Elders, So you had Antonia Novello was first, and
Speaker 3: then Joscelyn Elders came next. Jackie Gonzalez de Ruthie, how
Speaker 3: are we doing on the scoreboard after an incredible round one?
Speaker 2: You know?

Speaker 6: Another strong round, especially for Melissa.
Speaker 1: She did pull ahead. She has thirteen points, but Emmett,
Speaker 1: you have twelve.
Speaker 3: We have a one point game at halftime. Again, we're
Speaker 3: here with Melissa Clapper. She's playing for Planned Parenthood. Melissa,
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about your books. The first
Speaker 3: one is called Ballet Class and American History. Tell the
Speaker 3: people kind of what that's about.
Speaker 7: So, Ballet Class and American History is a social history
Speaker 7: of regular, ordinary folks who took ballet class. It's not
Speaker 7: about the people who became professionals later, and it's about
Speaker 7: the ways in which ballet class became part of American
Speaker 7: childhood over the twentieth century, regardless of race, gender orientation,
Speaker 7: national background, class whatever, you know, that it just became
Speaker 7: a very popular activity. I'm interested in the way became
Speaker 7: part of American culture and the kind of misconceptions that
Speaker 7: people have that ballet class was usually only for girls,
Speaker 7: which is not the case. Plenty of boys always took
Speaker 7: ballet class. And I'm just interested in the way that
Speaker 7: different kinds of communities use ballet class as a way
Speaker 7: to become or see more American, and the sort of
Speaker 7: invasion of ballet into pop culture such that if I
Speaker 7: say ballet pink, everybody knows what color that is, or
Speaker 7: you've got, you know, children's characters who take ballet class
Speaker 7: and everybody understands what that means. And there's all these
Speaker 7: classic children's novels. So the book was a lot of
Speaker 7: fun to write, and it's just about regular, ordinary people's experiences,
Speaker 7: and that's the kind of history I like to write,
Speaker 7: sort of from the bottom up, and to see what
Speaker 7: regular ordinary American children were doing what those experiences were
Speaker 7: like for them. And the book has some great illustrations,
Speaker 7: including some of me and various of my family members.
Speaker 7: Three at least three generations of my family have taken
Speaker 7: ballet class just as a matter of course, you turn four,
Speaker 7: you go to ballet class. And this book answers the
Speaker 7: question why why would you do that?
Speaker 1: That's so interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jackie, did you take ballet classes growing up?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 6: I did not, but all of my friends did. I
Speaker 6: took it in college. I took it as an adult,
Speaker 6: but all of my friends did. I did soccer.
Speaker 7: Well actually so Actually, part of the book is about
Speaker 7: what happens after Title nine has passed and there's more
Speaker 7: sports opportunities for girls. That had a negative impact on
Speaker 7: ballet class in America, and the way the ballet community
Speaker 7: fought back was by starting all kinds of competitions and making.
Speaker 5: Ballet more athletic so you can more competitive.
Speaker 7: And so when I was a kid, regular kids didn't
Speaker 7: have ballet competitions. But now you have to choose whether
Speaker 7: you want to quote unquote competition studio or not. And
Speaker 7: that is a direct result Title nine in girls Sports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember seeing on again. This guy did a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff, but it was Fred Rogers on Mister Rogers.
Speaker 3: He did an episode about ballet and he had NFL
Speaker 3: football players that were taking ballet to become more flexible,
Speaker 3: and he had like Len's Wan. Yeah, one of the
Speaker 3: best wide receivers for the Pittsburgh Steelers is on there.
Speaker 3: And I remember as a kid being like, Oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: It can help you in your athleticism. But yeah, like
Speaker 3: breaking down barriers that way, that's so cool. We'll talk
Speaker 3: about your other book in the next break, but let's
Speaker 3: get to your opponent again. Emmett Stanton. You can follow
Speaker 3: him on social media at EJ Stanton I NTL on Instagram.
Speaker 3: He's playing for Risk Training, which is Reporters Instructed in
Speaker 3: saving colleagues. He's got a book out, tell Me All

Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gimme Shelter will be coming out in the spring
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. It's a book that I started
Speaker 2: writing during the pandemic. It is a series of vignettes
Speaker 2: that are tied together about my reporting and my work overseas.
Speaker 2: I spent about the past decade, not quite a decade
Speaker 2: covering human migration, whether it's daily migration, people who cross
Speaker 2: the border once a day for work and then come
Speaker 2: back across in the evening, whether it's seasonal migration, or
Speaker 2: whether it's long term migration where somebody picks up and
Speaker 2: moves all together but is hoping to return to their homeland,
Speaker 2: and all the impacts it has both on the people
Speaker 2: who experience it, the people who they leave behind, the
Speaker 2: communities they arrive in. It's a bunch of stories from
Speaker 2: the field. It starts off towards the end of the
Speaker 2: actual field research I did, which was in Poland and
Speaker 2: Ukraine at the start of the war, and it ties
Speaker 2: back into Hadian, the Dominican Republic. It ties into me
Speaker 2: and Maar, in Bangladesh, Venezuela, and Columbia. There's a number
Speaker 2: of places that I've been to around the world and

Speaker 2: ultimately I went with Mahalia Jackson.
Speaker 3: Mahalia Jackson, Melissa, What did you put Mahalia Jackson? Emmett?
Speaker 3: Who was the other person you were thinking about?
Speaker 2: The other name I put was Marian Anderson, but I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure she was an opera singer.
Speaker 3: Correct answer is Mahalia Jackson. Holy smokes. What I have
Speaker 3: learned here?
Speaker 5: Said Emmitt? And I know all the same things.
Speaker 3: It's true, unbelievable round uh.
Speaker 7: Jack, we don't know and we don't know the same things.
Speaker 2: And and what I've learned is Melissa knows the same
Speaker 2: things and a little bit more about the same things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, these are like you didn't like this isn't like

Speaker 3: And they have recall. They have quick recall too. It's
Speaker 3: like all those things learning it recall Jackie. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that was one of the tougher history rounds I've ever
Speaker 3: done too. By the way, So after this intense double duty,
Speaker 3: what is our final score?
Speaker 1: Wow? What a game? Intense?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Friendly? Yes? Good?
Speaker 6: Of course the final score, Emmett. You ended with thirty
Speaker 6: six points, one of the highest scores we've given out
Speaker 6: this season, if not the highest until Melissa. And then
Speaker 6: Melissa went went around and said, I'm getting thirty nine points.
Speaker 6: What the hey, Melissa is our winner, our smartest person
Speaker 6: for one week.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, thirty nine to thirty six is same
Speaker 3: scoring thirty and that's that's one of the one of
Speaker 3: the highest scoring games we've ever had, maybe the highest
Speaker 3: scoring we've had thirty nine to thirty six.
Speaker 1: So certainly that I've been involved with impressive.
Speaker 3: We are both tickled, impressed, unbelievable. Melissa Clapper, you are
Speaker 3: our smartest person in the world. For one week, we're
Speaker 3: happy to make a donation in your name to Planned
Speaker 3: Parenthood by her book Ballet Class and American History. And
Speaker 3: then I also want to talk to you about your
Speaker 3: new book that you co authored. It's out. It's called
Speaker 3: The Civil War Diary of Emma Mordecai. I wanted to
Speaker 3: spend a minute talking about this book.
Speaker 7: So this book has a tea bited origin story. I'll
Speaker 7: try to be quick. But my late colleague, Diane Ashton,
Speaker 7: who was a professor of Rowan in the Religion department,
Speaker 7: was a mentor of mine since I was in graduate school.
Speaker 7: Actually I knew her before we both ended up coincidentally
Speaker 7: at the same university. And she passed away in twenty
Speaker 7: twenty two and she left me kind and unfinished book
Speaker 7: project that I've been hearing her talk about for a
Speaker 7: long time, and we both do Jewish women studies stuff professionally,
Speaker 7: and I just couldn't bear the idea that this book
Speaker 7: would disappear into the ether, which is what would have
Speaker 7: happened to it. So with her husband's blessing, I finished
Speaker 7: the book in her name, and you know, with my help,
Speaker 7: so it needed She knew perfectly well that it needs
Speaker 7: some work still, so I revised it. I finished it,
Speaker 7: sought through to publication and the Civil War Diary of
Speaker 7: Emma Mortechy it's actually pronounced Mortiquis, even though it looks
Speaker 7: like Mordecai will be out at the end of October
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four, and it is about the well, the
Speaker 7: Civil War diary of this woman, Emma Mortichy, who lived
Speaker 7: in Richmond, Virginia, who was a fascinating person, a Southern Jewish,
Speaker 7: white slave owning, racist, cod nationalist, Confederate person. And she,
Speaker 7: you know, on the one hand, she was a stalwart
Speaker 7: defender of Judaism at a time when that was really difficult.
Speaker 7: And actually a lot of her family members either converted
Speaker 7: to Christianity or married non Jewish people, and she was
Speaker 7: very devoted to Judaism in to her faith, but she
Speaker 7: was also, you know, in her environment, but not unusually
Speaker 7: she was a racist slave owner and a Confederate nationalist.
Speaker 7: And so she's this very fascinating figure and also a
Speaker 7: good way to think about how history is just messy.
Speaker 7: History is that we're pessy. People are messy in our
Speaker 7: own lives, not surprising that historically they were messy too.
Speaker 7: And so the book is about a third of a
Speaker 7: long introduction of scholarly analysis of this diary by Diane
Speaker 7: Ashton and by me, and then the rest of it
Speaker 7: is the actual transcript of the diary which she kept
Speaker 7: from about April eighteen sixty four to May eighteen sixty five. Wow,
Speaker 7: vatcinating document. And you know, all the Civil War buffs
Speaker 7: out there should be interested in it. Think of it
Speaker 7: for your holiday.
Speaker 3: Gifts and for that Civil War.
Speaker 7: Diary of Emma Morticky out from New York University Press,
Speaker 7: October twenty twenty four, FA A labor's love for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, congratulations, And what a great legacy for your friend

Speaker 3: for the final throwdown. The final throwdown. Jackie has a
Speaker 3: one off question for the three of us where we
Speaker 3: can discuss things and come up with possible answers and
Speaker 3: we'll maybe learn a little something something before we say
Speaker 3: oh goodbye. So Jackie to Ruthie, what do you got
Speaker 3: for us today?
Speaker 1: The largest swimming pool in the world.
Speaker 6: It's I you know, I like to swim, and that's
Speaker 6: where this is coming from. It's more than one thousand
Speaker 6: yards long, covers twenty acres, has one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 6: foot deep end, and holds sixty six million gallons of water.
Speaker 6: And I want to know where it's located.
Speaker 3: Okay, do you want city or country?
Speaker 6: If you give me the city. Wow, But I'll just
Speaker 6: take the country.
Speaker 3: Melissa or Emmett, what do you have?
Speaker 2: It makes me think of it makes me think of
Speaker 2: it must be a place with a dictator with a
Speaker 2: cult of personality, because where else would you have something
Speaker 2: that big. That's the only thing I can think of.
Speaker 5: So I was thinking about that too.
Speaker 7: Bit from it, like it's in like Saudi Arabia or
Speaker 7: Abutavii or one of these places where they torture by
Speaker 7: where they don't actually have any water, but they're just
Speaker 7: determined to have water.
Speaker 5: So they have water.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have the most water, you know what that
Speaker 2: and that doubles down on autocracy and cultive personality and stuff.
Speaker 2: That's so that could be it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a weird thought on this, and it's
Speaker 3: just it's so random. But for a commercial that I
Speaker 3: got to do ye many years ago, many moons ago,
Speaker 3: and I was kind of starting out, I got to
Speaker 3: travel overseas to South America and see this and they
Speaker 3: built we were where we were shooting was right near
Speaker 3: the coast of this place, and they it was they
Speaker 3: were building all these hotels along the coastline. But before
Speaker 3: the ocean, they built this insane thing that was like
Speaker 3: what you're describing as this crazy pool. So we shot
Speaker 3: some stuff in Santiago, but where we shot this was
Speaker 3: in Valparaiso, Chile. So that's what I'm saying, because it's
Speaker 3: like when we got there, we were like, I can't
Speaker 3: believe we're filming here. It's like they had boats in
Speaker 3: a swimming pool to move people around. They had boats
Speaker 3: in the swimming pool.
Speaker 2: So so the only thing I just now thought of
Speaker 2: is where did they film Titanic? Because I know they
Speaker 2: filmed that in a giant oh tank and our fellow
Speaker 2: tournament champions competitor, Nick Cascone was was in that film.
Speaker 2: I feel like that was in Mexico somewhere, but somewhere.
Speaker 6: Okay, they did shoot the Titanic in Mexico somewhere, but
Speaker 6: like half of it, like they like they built into
Speaker 6: the side of the oh okay, yeah, okay, sure.
Speaker 7: And I think they built a tank like it wasn't
Speaker 7: I don't know you would describe it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a pool, yeah, okay, Okay.
Speaker 3: So we got like Dubai. Yeah, we got like Dubai,
Speaker 3: which is great where they're just like fucking.
Speaker 5: Build the biggest pool in the desert in.
Speaker 2: The desert just conspicuous consumption.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but felper Is, I mean what you just said
Speaker 7: about you actually experienced makes it.
Speaker 6: It's like that's the one that you saw now it
Speaker 6: says chee, but I'm sure they're right next to I mean,
Speaker 6: this thing is huge.
Speaker 1: I'm sure straddle's two points or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or that was just the thing. But like, yeah,
Speaker 3: when we had no I had no idea where we
Speaker 3: were shooting, but like, and did.
Speaker 1: You shoot in the pool? Were you doing?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, I was, like I was. I was in
Speaker 3: this little like this little area where they had like
Speaker 3: a little pier out there, and then I was just
Speaker 3: like sitting there like on vacation and a guy gives
Speaker 3: me a fruity drink or whatever. But it was it
Speaker 3: was a Canada only commercial and they couldn't shoot any
Speaker 3: beach stuff because it was like in the middle of winter.
Speaker 3: So that's why they shot in South America, so they
Speaker 3: it was cheaper to shoot in South America. But like
Speaker 3: crazy trip, but yeah, we I weirdly have been either
Speaker 3: that the most random.
Speaker 6: You're in it because it is on the ocean, Like
Speaker 6: that was the weirdest thing to me. The photo where
Speaker 6: it's like it's ocean, a little bit of sand, and
Speaker 6: then this huge pool.
Speaker 3: Yeah that is.
Speaker 1: Aird but salt water.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it is like, this is my feel
Speaker 3: we should bring back Yester Williams and water musicals. Yes,
Speaker 3: holy cow, great question, Jackie. That's insane that you asked
Speaker 3: a question. I weirdly have been there. Yeah, that's one
Speaker 3: in a lecture.
Speaker 6: Really, I really can't believe that that just went down.
