Speaker 1: Hello, it's Cooper and I'm coming to you hat in
Speaker 1: hand that we do not have a new episode for
Speaker 1: you today. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But on the
Speaker 1: bright side, we are working on some fun episodes right now.
Speaker 1: It's just I know this is going to sound like
Speaker 1: an excuse. It's just that sometimes those those more fun episodes,
Speaker 1: more involved episodes take a little bit longer, you know,
Speaker 1: to edit, just put together. And you know, I was
Speaker 1: looking to the glendar and today, as we all are
Speaker 1: listening to this is June fourth, and everybody knows June
Speaker 1: fourth is National Hug Your Cat Day as well as
Speaker 1: International Corgi Day, right, so we just thought it would
Speaker 1: be a pretty good time to reroute and take a
Speaker 1: trip back in time and listen to the Pets episode
Speaker 1: hosted by Connor. It was a fun one. It was
Speaker 1: a while ago, so we don't have video for it,
Speaker 1: but we like to take a dip into the Bus
Speaker 1: one vault and release it once again for all you fans.
Speaker 1: So we'll be coming back with our regular new episodes
Speaker 1: back next week, so hope you enjoy episode sixty two. Pets.
Speaker 2: Welcome up word Bus one. We're on our way to
Speaker 2: New York, New York, and we've got some time to kill.
Speaker 2: Let's play some trivia gamers. Introduce yourselves.
Speaker 3: What is up everyone? My name is in.
Speaker 4: Hello, my name is Cooper.
Speaker 5: And I everyone, it's don't tie.
Speaker 2: All right, nice to meet all of you. Got some
Speaker 2: rules that.
Speaker 5: Actually I actually wasn't planning on doing Australian and then
Speaker 5: I said accident, and I was like, now I'm doing Australia.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we're going to keep it rolling. It's
Speaker 2: it's time for some rules, y'all. No rules, rules, times
Speaker 2: street rules. There's going to be three levels today with
Speaker 2: fifteen questions. Level one is going to be five questions
Speaker 2: with one point per correct answer. Level two is going
Speaker 2: to be five questions with two points per correct answer,
Speaker 2: and level three is going to be five questions with
Speaker 2: three points per correct answer. We'll be using a buzzer
Speaker 2: today because I get overwhelmed as it is, so I
Speaker 2: need some order here. Challenge rules.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 2: Once per game, I will give a fake answer to
Speaker 2: one of the questions. You will have the one opportunity
Speaker 2: to challenge what I reveal as the correct answer, and
Speaker 2: if you correctly guess which is the fake answer, you
Speaker 2: will be awarded three points. If you incorrectly challenge a
Speaker 2: true answer, you will lose three points. Multiple players may
Speaker 2: challenge the same question, and I will follow the rule
Speaker 2: that if you challenge mid game and get it right,
Speaker 2: then you'll also get the points for that question on
Speaker 2: top of the challenge points. I love you, Connor, I
Speaker 2: love you. I love you, guys. I'm super excited to
Speaker 2: be here, are you?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 2: Just want you to know most points wins, most points
Speaker 2: wins all of my love, so no more love left
Speaker 2: for the rest of you, and no researching, no outside
Speaker 2: knowledge allowed on the episode, just straight from the nogin today, not.
Speaker 3: To pod that doesn't really rhyme.
Speaker 2: With the rules out of the way, does anyone have
Speaker 2: an guesses on the topic? Is it Thanksgiving? It is not?
Speaker 5: Something? Not?
Speaker 3: Is it Frank's It's gotta be jazz?
Speaker 2: Also not Frank's get a real guess.
Speaker 3: We're in New York Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: What no, no, no, no, We're going to New York. It's gotta be.
Speaker 5: We already did Skyscrapers, so it's not that I'm going
Speaker 5: to say the Mafia repetition.
Speaker 2: Today. We are going to the headquarters of the American
Speaker 2: Kennel Club in New York, New York, because today's topic
Speaker 2: is Pets Pets, The secret.
Speaker 6: Life Pets Pets.
Speaker 3: Is secret life?
Speaker 2: Yes, not not directly about the movie franchise and pets.
Speaker 4: Who did we realize this in like Pets Too that
Speaker 4: we were like.
Speaker 6: I don't know, We're like looking up like an actor
Speaker 6: in some movie and then the credits for them.
Speaker 3: That's like the Secret Life of Pets too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was does he.
Speaker 2: Doesn't?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I was thinking person Ford gets up there and he's like, guys,
Speaker 6: I just hate being Han Solo.
Speaker 3: Please stop talking to me about Big Hansole.
Speaker 4: Stop talking talk to.
Speaker 6: Me about It's like, how does he distance his career
Speaker 6: from Star Wars by getting in that?
Speaker 5: You really got a you know, un pigeon hole yourself,
Speaker 5: So grit, John Harrison.
Speaker 2: Ford's got two things in this life, his water bowl
Speaker 2: and his dignity.
Speaker 3: Do you think he played a pigeon?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, no way, Ford.
Speaker 2: Named anyone who owns hands down.
Speaker 6: Well, it's there in New York, right, like the Secret Life.
Speaker 6: The pets that have secret lives are in New York.
Speaker 4: I thought there was said the capitalists.
Speaker 6: I bet they interact with the pigeons all the time
Speaker 6: once they get down on the street.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, you know what. I've heard enough about pigeons.
Speaker 2: It's time for aroundable, no proud one. This first round
Speaker 2: contains questions that I found directly on the Wikipedia page
Speaker 2: titled pet. As an intro to this round, I want
Speaker 2: to read you a brief excerpt from the beginning of
Speaker 2: the Wikipedia page. Popular pets are often considered to have
Speaker 2: attractive slash cute appearances, intelligence, and relatable personalities, but some
Speaker 2: pets may be taken in on an altruistic basis, such
Speaker 2: as a stray animal, and accepted by the owner regardless
Speaker 2: of these characteristics. So shout out to you animal activists
Speaker 2: taking in your ugly, dumb, unrelatable stray pets. Don't talk
Speaker 2: about my pets that way. My pet is astray and
Speaker 2: he's adorable, So I will fight this Wikipedia editor.
Speaker 3: Is there a question?
Speaker 2: He ran away? But yeah, yourself, I'm unrelatable?
Speaker 3: Okay, ye?
Speaker 2: Are you ugly, dumb or unrelatable.
Speaker 3: Regardless of characteristics?
Speaker 2: Okay? Question one? This question is closest answer wins. A
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four Canadian study found the most common reasons
Speaker 2: that someone would choose to not own a pet. What
Speaker 2: percentage of respondence lack of soul and said they just
Speaker 2: don't like pets? This one hits close to home.
Speaker 3: That sucks.
Speaker 2: Oh did I just say that you lack an You're
Speaker 2: not the first, so I'm not mad. I understand why
Speaker 2: people get that. We've got aid and buzzed in.
Speaker 5: See.
Speaker 6: I was gonna go way lower, but now one of
Speaker 6: this sample size of four, so that God, it has
Speaker 6: to be. And for that reason, I will say.
Speaker 2: Dante, you'll be next.
Speaker 5: I was also thinking around ten percent or the low teens,
Speaker 5: but it's gotta be like a low Wait. Wait, so
Speaker 5: this is This is the percentage of people that said
Speaker 5: the reason they didn't get a pet is because they
Speaker 5: don't like pets. So is it the percentage of all
Speaker 5: people like is the larger.
Speaker 4: The percentage of all people without pets?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That's what amazing?
Speaker 5: True?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that changes things. Wait, so that the study
Speaker 2: is the most common reasons that someone would choose to
Speaker 2: not own a pet. Cool, and this percentage of people
Speaker 2: said they just don't like pets. Cool?
Speaker 5: Okay, I am gonna go with. Now that increases, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna go with. I'm gonna go with twenty five.
Speaker 3: Bag Okay, all right, good Dante. Do you not have
Speaker 3: a pet?
Speaker 2: No? I all have pet?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta we gotta do the math here fifty
Speaker 4: that's exactly.
Speaker 2: I do have a pet.
Speaker 3: Oh for it, common has a pet.
Speaker 2: I have an adorable, freaking cat.
Speaker 4: That actually makes it thirty three. So I'm gonna do
Speaker 4: twenty nine.
Speaker 2: All right. I believe the closest here is Dante, I
Speaker 2: should have gone with the answer. The answer is nineteen
Speaker 2: point six percent.
Speaker 5: Right there, which I will stand crowd with my fellow
Speaker 5: pet ambivalent.
Speaker 4: If you're considering people who don't have pets, saying why
Speaker 4: they don't have pets, the obvious.
Speaker 2: Ones, I probably like pologies.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, money, the.
Speaker 2: Building, lack of time was a big one. That experience
Speaker 2: hates joy.
Speaker 3: Some people don't like them.
Speaker 4: Is a pet person?
Speaker 2: Can't count them out? Best job to Dante. Yep, you've
Speaker 2: got a point there.
Speaker 3: Dante has all the love right now. I can't handle this.
Speaker 4: Each point count as a pet.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good point. We'll count each point as
Speaker 2: a pet. Today. Dante has one pet, so far I
Speaker 2: get to choose what the pet is, oh, for sure,
Speaker 2: But you have to make all of your pets that
Speaker 2: you gather just that one pet, just that one an I.
Speaker 4: Was saying, like.
Speaker 2: You want me to.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's exactly right.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll talk about that one. No, I like it,
Speaker 2: I get to choose you like to be. That's gonna
Speaker 2: get weird fast. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 4: You're gonna run out of areas well.
Speaker 2: Question scarner. We're going to do a round robin response
Speaker 2: for this question. Question, but we can still buzz in.
Speaker 2: Everyone answers and you get the point if you get
Speaker 2: it right. According to a two thousand and seven study
Speaker 2: by the University of Bristol, which set of owners are
Speaker 2: more educated between dog owners and cat owners?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 2: This is a round robin response for a for a
Speaker 2: basically true false like everyone's gonna pick dogs or cats.
Speaker 2: Someone whoever picks the right animal wins, Like yeah, so
Speaker 2: multiple people can get the points.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what was the question about the owners?
Speaker 2: Which set of owners are more educated between dog owners
Speaker 2: and cat owners?
Speaker 6: Okay, we're gonna which one like higher percentage, like went
Speaker 6: to college or like which no more of their respective animal?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: Okay, that completely the first one. Can I go after
Speaker 6: now so I can think about first time I'm gonna
Speaker 6: say that cats. I'm gonna say cats. I feel like
Speaker 6: cats are more like widespread over the world, Like I
Speaker 6: feel like you have a larger sample size.
Speaker 2: I don't know, interesting going cat.
Speaker 5: I feel like people that own cats are evil villains
Speaker 5: in large black leather chairs and people in libraries. I
Speaker 5: feel like just own cats, and you know, like people
Speaker 5: that the dogs.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, Actually, no, I'm still going I can.
Speaker 5: I feel like dogs can be more utilitarian and cats
Speaker 5: are pretty much like a luxury. Like cats aren't doing
Speaker 5: anything to help you out. So I feel like it's
Speaker 5: a socioeconomic thing, Like if you're higher educated, you're more
Speaker 5: likely to be in higher income recket and you can
Speaker 5: afford the luxury.
Speaker 2: Cat is very good at ripping the part my belongings nice,
Speaker 2: scratching my arms. Yeah, so if anything, you're incurring cost.
Speaker 6: Also, cats are maintenance, so like people who are educated
Speaker 6: may not have a lot of time on their hands,
Speaker 6: and so they need a little more kind of like
Speaker 6: animal that can just figure.
Speaker 2: It out, giving Cooper a lot of evidence to work
Speaker 2: with for his answer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the thing is they both said cats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is true. You're going to go with the
Speaker 3: right answer. You're going to go.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 4: I was already thinking the same lines as Aiden said.
Speaker 4: Where you know, people who are more invested in their
Speaker 4: jobs don't need to give cats as much attention. If like,
Speaker 4: they're more self sufficient and stuff.
Speaker 6: Well, if you think about it, the most really successful
Speaker 6: people also are like I dropped out at college, so
Speaker 6: they're not super educated.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: People are less educ Cooper.
Speaker 2: Cooper, you got to make a call.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 4: I'm a dog person, so I'm just gonna go dog.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, and I'm a smart survey This is true.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue that the survey found that forty
Speaker 2: seven point two percent of households with this pet had
Speaker 2: at least one person educated to degree level, compared to
Speaker 2: eight point four percent of homes with the other pet.
Speaker 2: The pets more degreed owners is cats.
Speaker 5: I think every time we get should celebrate with with
Speaker 5: animal animal victory noises.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, pick your animal noise.
Speaker 3: I'd like to get scratched, like on my chin for
Speaker 3: that one, if you don't mind.
Speaker 2: Okay, like a big, big chin scratch guy.
Speaker 4: It's an easy go to for any.
Speaker 3: A good round. One scratch for real.
Speaker 4: Undre no repeating scratches.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna get stuck with some awkward stuff.
Speaker 2: And it's all gonna be me that just specify left
Speaker 2: and right. True.
Speaker 3: This is I want you to use your left hand
Speaker 3: to scratch my chin.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's all oh yeah, okay, Okay, we're gonna, we're gonna,
Speaker 2: we're gonna hold it there. So yeah, points for Aiden
Speaker 2: and Dante, and we're on to question three. This question
Speaker 2: is closest answer wins. What was the ratio of pets
Speaker 2: to children in the United States in twenty thirteen? In
Speaker 2: other words, how many pets to one child? It's like
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, So this is a little before. Yeah, people like.
Speaker 3: Millennials being like I can't afford kids.
Speaker 2: Right, Like we're starting with Cooper six six.
Speaker 4: Six six, Why that's seventy pets own like twenty fish Okay.
Speaker 2: No, this is yeah, I don't remember. It's like I
Speaker 2: remember the pets.
Speaker 5: There's definitely people there's like families of you know, two
Speaker 5: or three that have like twenty pets.
Speaker 4: It's like a bunch of birds pets than kids. I'm
Speaker 4: going to say I have a friend who had thirty dogs.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 6: What's the Is it ratio to number of pets to
Speaker 6: number of children or is it ratio with households with
Speaker 6: pets to households with children.
Speaker 2: It's ratio of number of pets to number of children.
Speaker 3: Just okay, so that maybe maybe six isn't that bad.
Speaker 4: Seven?
Speaker 2: You get to make a call.
Speaker 6: I do have to make a call. Before I do,
Speaker 6: I'm going to say a controversial opinion because there's no
Speaker 6: better platform than a podcast on the internet to say
Speaker 6: this contra things that are controversial. Okay, I think that
Speaker 6: fish are more of a displayed piece than a pet.
Speaker 3: I know that sister has and they don't do nothing.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like plants.
Speaker 3: Like plants are alive and you take care of them,
Speaker 3: but they're not like a pet. Like fish are plants,
Speaker 3: you're just like looking at them. Fish are plants, not.
Speaker 2: Fish are water plants. I agree, dang.
Speaker 5: People ask me if I had pets, and I say, well,
Speaker 5: if had fish, but that really doesn't count.
Speaker 3: It is usually, however, like fish in the ocean living
Speaker 3: their lives, that's not plants. But fish in your house
Speaker 3: in a bowl that's plants.
Speaker 4: In the ocean are not plants?
Speaker 2: Fish in the hottest takes from Aiden.
Speaker 4: You know what, I'll say it, fish in the ocean
Speaker 4: are not plants.
Speaker 2: Everyone's thinking it want brave enough.
Speaker 6: To sit And now for my answer, I'm gonna go
Speaker 6: over Cooper because there's no way Dante will.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, honestly, Aiden, I forgot you hadn't answered yet.
Speaker 6: Takes speak for themselves. Renumber where you guys our plants coming.
Speaker 2: I was about to just give you the points for
Speaker 2: being right, but we do need to hear from Dante.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go four to one. Dante gets it
Speaker 2: on the four pets to one child in the United States.
Speaker 4: If I said fish would have been like, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a decimal one.
Speaker 5: We started this question, but then you get and I
Speaker 5: was like, well, I'm not going to say that.
Speaker 2: I also thought of like people who have pets their
Speaker 2: whole lives, but like never have kids, Like they're happy
Speaker 2: with just their their pets. So it's like I feel
Speaker 2: like they really rack up the number.
Speaker 3: I feel like they wouldn't be as happy if they do.
Speaker 6: The secret lives their pets were getting into.
Speaker 4: It's a lot easier to have a pet than a child.
Speaker 2: Oh can con I can handle this cat right now?
Speaker 4: How can you handle this child?
Speaker 2: No way, I can barely handle those water plants.
Speaker 3: Swimmers. That sounds like.
Speaker 4: Little swimmers.
Speaker 2: Aiden does not have high hopes for his future on
Speaker 2: this podcast.
Speaker 5: We're gonna get some serious Our email never gets any email,
Speaker 5: but now we're gonna get a bunch of hate mail.
Speaker 3: That's my secret.
Speaker 6: Gonna start just all the hot takes are going to
Speaker 6: be flowing.
Speaker 4: We're just gonna start giving like, really bad takes.
Speaker 3: We toast them on.
Speaker 4: That's the best way to get interactions as we say
Speaker 4: something really stupid and then somebody's like, actually that's not fair.
Speaker 2: Because somebody on the internet wants to be right exactly.
Speaker 4: We just gotta say that. People be like, you're wrong.
Speaker 2: This is how we bade you in.
Speaker 3: Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2: Okay, Question question four. This question is last contestant standing.
Speaker 2: The Wikipedia article lists six health risks associated with owning pets.
Speaker 2: Name one of these health risks to stay alive. Name
Speaker 2: something outside of the list and you will be eliminated
Speaker 2: its order the health regrees with owning pets. That is
Speaker 2: that what we're saying the health risks of owning pets.
Speaker 3: Aiden allergies list, I'm gonna I'm gonna be.
Speaker 2: That's like the only thing I have, allergies. It was
Speaker 2: in a different indent than the rest of them, so
Speaker 2: I was confused. Okay, yes, allergies is on there. We're
Speaker 2: going to cooper.
Speaker 4: Health risks to having pets.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: I have nothing else.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm thinking very like allergy related things.
Speaker 2: That can hurt. That's a risk. If you sneeze hard enough,
Speaker 2: your iis will pop out.
Speaker 4: I don't know, like diseases that they can carry.
Speaker 2: Diseases that they can carry.
Speaker 3: A nice let's go.
Speaker 2: Time for Dante. I'm gonna say death, bind knife, wound.
Speaker 2: Is that on there?
Speaker 4: Your pet's gonna kill you.
Speaker 2: Let's go, Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 5: Oh, but I will go like scratches, you know, bites
Speaker 5: and scratches or should those be separate?
Speaker 2: Bites? Injury, mauling and sometimes death caused by pet bites
Speaker 2: and attacks.
Speaker 5: Gonna say, pet tiny little knives, they got them, they're
Speaker 5: ready to use it, kills you in your sleep.
Speaker 2: We're back to you.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, Dante's so my answers. Let me think there
Speaker 6: are six, and we've gotten three of them.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 3: We said allergies.
Speaker 2: We said, you said disease, and we said scratches.
Speaker 3: From there, I guess injury and death.
Speaker 6: Here's a really out there one, because honestly, I'm not
Speaker 6: thinking too hard about this. Like they snuggle up with
Speaker 6: you in your bed and you suffocate because you sleep.
Speaker 6: You dog is like dang, I love to snuggle with
Speaker 6: this guy, and then you can't breathe anymore.
Speaker 4: Name a water, Name a water plant.
Speaker 3: That's because their plants, them, all them all, if you
Speaker 3: give them the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Never trust the water.
Speaker 6: That's why you don't fill your house with water and
Speaker 6: let them swim free.
Speaker 2: That's the only reason what that'll get you.
Speaker 3: So no to the smothering in your sleep.
Speaker 2: No to the smothering in your sleep. I think Aiden's
Speaker 2: gotta be out, Cooper.
Speaker 4: Let's think about this launch, Okay, diseases. Let's forget what
Speaker 4: Aiden just do thinking about it. Logical allergies, diseases, malling,
Speaker 4: what things stupids do?
Speaker 2: Mhm, swim? There are more than just water plants to
Speaker 2: is that I do not think about fish. I would
Speaker 2: say water plants could probably contribute to like half of these,
Speaker 2: and that's being generous. If they're big enough.
Speaker 3: Fish allegy fish.
Speaker 4: How big of a fish does it take to get
Speaker 4: a disease?
Speaker 2: Something I have? There's probably something went out there with
Speaker 2: a shark that got bit alligator. There's that's an alligator.
Speaker 4: The Yeah, does rabies fall under disease?
Speaker 2: Brabies? Last time I checked? Is a disease? You medical
Speaker 2: people on the internet can correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just not a disease.
Speaker 3: This is one of our contents.
Speaker 6: Actually we should say Raby's isn't a disease and then
Speaker 6: have the girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way we get them racking the brain.
Speaker 2: What if that's what doing?
Speaker 3: Gotta say something.
Speaker 8: Poop oh smothering other wise, said poop Hooper said poos
Speaker 8: final answer, poop poop is not on the list?
Speaker 3: Said do you mean Dante Wins? Even though we all said.
Speaker 2: No, I feel like I should.
Speaker 5: I feel like I should have to submit my own
Speaker 5: and then if I don't get it, we can go
Speaker 5: around again.
Speaker 2: At least that's my take.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you also just disvantage of going third.
Speaker 3: You don't have to find going around again because I
Speaker 3: have no other answer.
Speaker 2: My guess is tripping over your pets. Yes, that is
Speaker 2: on the list. Dante that.
Speaker 6: Over a fish onto getting the points.
Speaker 2: Yeah for being the last contestant standing.
Speaker 6: Remember Connor said if if the fish is big enough,
Speaker 6: we're fine you trip over it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could trip over a big enough fish. So
Speaker 2: on the list. You got allergies, you got falling, you
Speaker 2: got injury, you got disease. There's also stress caused by
Speaker 2: the behavior of animals, I mean, depending on how well
Speaker 2: you do it, and anxiety over who will care for
Speaker 2: the animals should the owner no longer be able to
Speaker 2: do so. They count that. Yeah, that's like an indirect situation.
Speaker 2: That'd be like counting rabies as not a disease. Well
Speaker 2: it's not so, as we all know, of course, it's
Speaker 2: not a disease. It's category. People are just week it's
Speaker 2: not even a.
Speaker 3: Disease, not even a disease.
Speaker 2: Guys, you're really from a little bit of Old Yeller.
Speaker 2: Really should have just sucked it up. Wait what happens
Speaker 2: Gold Yellow? We're going to get you never watched Old Yeller?
Speaker 2: Did I just spoil yellow for you? Which doesn't really
Speaker 2: tell me anything that's true?
Speaker 4: Gets shot?
Speaker 2: Thanks now, it's spoiled. Now it's spoiled. Wait to.
Speaker 3: Rabies.
Speaker 2: I mean I've only had like, Okay, nice job, y'all.
Speaker 2: That was good. We went further than we could have gone.
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty proud of y'all. And now we're ready
Speaker 2: to move on to question five. This question will be
Speaker 2: based on my favorite rule set ever devised on Bus one,
Speaker 2: Charlie Chaplin Rules.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The last section of the Wikipedia article on pets is
Speaker 2: titled Pets in Art, and it contains a series of
Speaker 2: paintings featuring pets with no text description, just thumbnails of paintings.
Speaker 2: Please describe what you think my favorite pet in art
Speaker 2: painting looks like it. Cooper is going first.
Speaker 4: I think I've seen a lot of these art paints. Okay,
Speaker 4: so I just got to decide which one I think
Speaker 4: would be best.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have exactly one painting that I can think of,
Speaker 5: So I hope you don't take the one I know.
Speaker 4: I'm basically just saying which animal we think you like
Speaker 4: the pain of.
Speaker 2: Paint the picture however you'd like. Cooper get A can
Speaker 2: just paints paint your own right animal.
Speaker 4: If I say the right animal, but I described the
Speaker 4: wrong painting, how are you going to describes it perfect?
Speaker 2: I mean, if someone there's no logic, it's gotta be
Speaker 2: the closest to.
Speaker 4: Liked elephant painting with its trunk. I'm seeing a lot
Speaker 4: of little little swipes. You know. It's got a paintbrush
Speaker 4: for a face.
Speaker 2: That's how.
Speaker 3: Face with an elephant's trunk coming out of it.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a Dante. Okay.
Speaker 5: I'm gotta go don sitting around a poker table plan
Speaker 5: poker because I know that does exist.
Speaker 2: That's a classic and it's a good one.
Speaker 4: A paintings done by animals.
Speaker 2: No, describe what you think. My favorite pet art painting
Speaker 2: looked like that.
Speaker 3: Movie that's doing.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Cooper, I think everyone else had this figured out.
Speaker 6: I feel like, here's mine ready painting somebody's it's Washington
Speaker 6: crossing the Devil.
Speaker 3: But they're all that's sod.
Speaker 6: They're all cats, okay, or and one of them is
Speaker 6: a lobster just because it's the I have another guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll allow it.
Speaker 7: Okay, you weren't ready thinking about animals painting instead of pets.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna go for consider the one photo
Speaker 4: of all the guys like eating lunch on the one skyscraper.
Speaker 4: I'm guessing it's all.
Speaker 2: That's a fun one that would be that would be
Speaker 2: pretty cute. I do like a mean pig, I think.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the description that of that I
Speaker 2: came up with for my favorite pet and art painting.
Speaker 2: It is an old timey, old timey looking man with
Speaker 2: shoulder length hair and a faint mustache who has removed
Speaker 2: his left left glove I assume to pet the black
Speaker 2: and white cat sitting on the counter behind him.
Speaker 6: I think, actually, yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was pretty I thought it looked fun. I could see
Speaker 2: myself being that man about to pet a nice cat
Speaker 2: behind me. Do you know where the do you know
Speaker 2: where it is? What museum it's in? I know it's
Speaker 2: on the Wikipedia or I don't know. I wonder research
Speaker 2: for this episode there was no information about the painting.
Speaker 2: It was just it's just pictures in rows that were
Speaker 2: paintings of pets. So I'm going to have to go
Speaker 2: with Aiden on this one. Since he chose the right
Speaker 2: a cat. I've a big cat guy. Yeah.
Speaker 5: For those for those listening at home, Connor is just
Speaker 5: a large feline humanoid right now.
Speaker 2: So he's wearing a cat.
Speaker 6: It's like hermione when she takes Actually, this episode.
Speaker 2: I'm just selling y'all on.
Speaker 4: You're trying trying to tell us that people with cats
Speaker 4: are smarter, trying to say like cats and art is cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Baseline, have a pet. Next level, have a cat
Speaker 2: a fish. Next level, have my cat, but you can't
Speaker 2: because he's mine.
Speaker 3: This is a challenge my next level, flood your house
Speaker 3: and fill it with water. Buy water.
Speaker 2: Well, good, first round, everybody has everybody can keep be
Speaker 2: keeping track of their points.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Let's hear. Let's hear a point check.
Speaker 3: I got this manny and that many is too for.
Speaker 2: I don't even have I can't see your fingers. Tough.
Speaker 2: First round, it's okay. The next rounds the points go
Speaker 2: up so you can really catch Yeah, I got a
Speaker 2: big quatro. The first round, okay, comes around, come round two.
Speaker 2: This round of questions is about exotic pets like tiger can.
Speaker 2: I won't spoil anything?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay?
Speaker 2: Question six. This question is multiple choice. Private zoos are
Speaker 2: notorious homes for exotic pets, often used as a status
Speaker 2: symbol to show off levels of success. One infamous private
Speaker 2: zoo was on the estate of Acienda Napoles owned by
Speaker 2: which well known drug lord? Was it a opium king?
Speaker 2: Coon saw B Joaquin Guzman aka El Chapo?
Speaker 6: Was it C.
Speaker 2: Pablo Escobar or D Biselda Blanco aka the Black Widow?
Speaker 6: Starting with aiden I buzzed in like halfway through, So
Speaker 6: I think it's only fair that I say B because
Speaker 6: that's the one I stopped on.
Speaker 3: So I think that was Al Chapo, that.
Speaker 2: Was El Chapo. That's not the correct answer. Let me
Speaker 2: go see Pablo Escobar Bingo. You nailed it again.
Speaker 3: See I had never heard of the other two, but those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tried to be famous ones. Coon saw. There
Speaker 2: were surprisingly like little drug lords that I had actually
Speaker 2: heard of. I thought I was going to find a
Speaker 2: lot more that. I was like, oh yeah, that guy.
Speaker 2: But yeah, before he gave the multiple choice tend zero. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nice job to Dante.
Speaker 3: You guys want to see my little lego ball rog.
Speaker 2: What. Wow, that's not a pet. That's not a pet. Okay,
Speaker 2: could be a pet, I guess, you know whatever floats
Speaker 2: your boat. But it's not a cat.
Speaker 3: It's not a cat. It's more of like a demon goat.
Speaker 2: Speaking of demon goats, Question seven, This question is multiple choice.
Speaker 2: What service did Radn the elephant provide to the people
Speaker 2: of the Andaman Islands. Was it a waterhole excavator, b
Speaker 2: water taxi, ce tree planter or d rubble remover? Is
Speaker 2: this a real Is this a fictional thing? Or is
Speaker 2: this a real thing? This was a real what slash is?
Speaker 2: I don't know if this elephant is still alive, but
Speaker 2: real elephant performing real jobs. All of these are real
Speaker 2: jobs that I found evidence of elephants fulfilled. I believe it.
Speaker 2: So you just got to pick the right one that
Speaker 2: helps Cooper.
Speaker 4: You said islands, it's got to be water taxi.
Speaker 2: That's correct. Want a taxi, which I thought would be
Speaker 2: super fun, Like imagine like crossing like you know, a
Speaker 2: body of water on an elephant would be so dope.
Speaker 2: I don't think I could be any happy.
Speaker 3: So tall that he walks and you're fine? Or does
Speaker 3: he swim?
Speaker 4: Elephants swim?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: No way, They're so talented like.
Speaker 3: In Tarzan, I don't know if they swim.
Speaker 2: You know, they's got lots of like area that could
Speaker 2: go deep in the water.
Speaker 3: That's like a lot of floatation by.
Speaker 4: Think about the boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the barge of the.
Speaker 4: Animal the water displaced his mask.
Speaker 2: Although I do badass one, the most badass job I
Speaker 2: thought was rubble remover, like after hurricane. I think I
Speaker 2: don't remember the details super well. I remember there was
Speaker 2: like a hurricane where like elephants were like being trained
Speaker 2: to remove rubble to like rescue people and like recover
Speaker 2: bodies and things. And that just sounded like like those
Speaker 2: elephants were off to work.
Speaker 5: Elephants are awesome. It's like that Katie Perry lyric right
Speaker 5: after lyric elephant Like, Okay, different approaches.
Speaker 2: Elephants. Eventually, all right, nice job, Nice job. Question eight.
Speaker 2: This question is closest answer or wins. Congo the chimpanzee
Speaker 2: was living at the London Zoo when it was discovered
Speaker 2: he could doodle with pencil and paper at the age
Speaker 2: of two. Amazing. By age he had drawing question. We
Speaker 2: have arrived at pet's drawing question. Finally, by age four,
Speaker 2: he had created over four hundred drawings and paintings, displaying
Speaker 2: a purposeful sense of composition and symmetry. In two thousand
Speaker 2: and five, three of his paintings were sold at auction.
Speaker 2: What was the sale price in today's dollars for all three, Yes,
Speaker 2: for all three. That's my understanding.
Speaker 6: Eighten, Because Connor, when you started this, I was like,
Speaker 6: he's going to ask how much one of these paintings
Speaker 6: sold for.
Speaker 3: I was thinking fifteen million dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, that is a lot big.
Speaker 3: So that's it.
Speaker 2: Let's hear let's hear Hooper's answer. Next.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say seven hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, respectable.
Speaker 4: I think this is the summer of this right right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Three painting. I feel like it's over a million.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's fifteen million, but I think it's
Speaker 5: at least a million dollars.
Speaker 2: I'll go one and a half million, one and a
Speaker 2: half million, okay, ten times less than not okay. So
Speaker 2: I will preface this by saying that there was work
Speaker 2: by Andy Warhol and Renoir at this same auction that
Speaker 2: received so little interest that they had to be withdrawn.
Speaker 2: So consider that holy amazing. But also also the answer
Speaker 2: was twenty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Whoa so much less twenty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was just like a chump change auction where
Speaker 2: people couldn't afford Andy Warhol. I mean, maybe it was
Speaker 2: just for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like lot interested.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, I could have just been like wacky stuff
Speaker 2: by them.
Speaker 3: It was then this could be the challenge question.
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't think.
Speaker 4: I mean, how much would you paint for a monkey
Speaker 4: putting stuff on paper?
Speaker 6: Just some because honestly, a monkey painting on paper that's worthless.
Speaker 3: It's all just these rich people who are like, this was.
Speaker 6: Painted by a monkey, and I think they're willing to
Speaker 6: go way higher than twenty dollars.
Speaker 4: So much about the beginning of human evolution. Start a
Speaker 4: real conversation, some composition.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, maybe maybe keep it in mind up to you.
Speaker 3: I don't want to go negative, so I'm not going
Speaker 3: to do it right now.
Speaker 2: But yeah, those points belong to eight. No, my apologies,
Speaker 2: I did not keep track of the numbers that you said.
Speaker 4: Eight billions.
Speaker 2: Nice job, folks. Question nine. This question is multiple choice.
Speaker 2: One pet chimpanzee was known by those who met her
Speaker 2: to rip clothes off of house guests, bull people of her,
Speaker 2: and even stole an infant. The woman left in charge
Speaker 2: of the chimp after her husband went out in pursuit
Speaker 2: of a musical career, made the difficult choice to euthanize
Speaker 2: the chimp after it was injured in a spill and
Speaker 2: refused to let anyone help her. The husband subsequently divorced
Speaker 2: his wife. What was the name of this chimp which
Speaker 2: had ended? Oh Dante? What was the name of the chimp?
Speaker 2: Is it bubbles? It is not? Oh Aiden buzzed in?
Speaker 3: Is it the super monkey?
Speaker 2: The super monkey? No, it was not.
Speaker 4: Was there more to the question or was much?
Speaker 2: I was not quite done and I hadn't given the
Speaker 2: multiple choice? Okay, choice, yep, I'll finish the question for you, Cooper.
Speaker 2: What was the name of this chimp which had ended
Speaker 2: a total of four marriages? Was it a pp B,
Speaker 2: poop yeah s or d stinky? These are unreal?
Speaker 4: Did you it's peepook?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Get out here.
Speaker 3: It's so amazing.
Speaker 2: Is there an ell above? Because that was going with poopoo?
Speaker 4: I'm going with poopoo.
Speaker 2: Okay, do we do we do another round? Round? Everybody
Speaker 2: got it wrong? Yes, there are only three more ands. No,
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think.
Speaker 5: Okay, we shouldn't get another yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: No points for this walking in? Oh just for fun?
Speaker 2: What would you go? I would go for what was
Speaker 2: the last one? Stinky?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go stinky, stinky Cooper, I think I would
Speaker 4: have gone stinky.
Speaker 2: Second, Okay, okay, it was peepee sang terrible. It was
Speaker 2: spelled p e p p p e p e e,
Speaker 2: So maybe it was like I think, maybe peppy Pepe.
Speaker 2: I was trying to look up a pronunciation and I
Speaker 2: found one website that did like automated pronunciations of words,
Speaker 2: and they did pronounce it pep, so I stuck with it.
Speaker 5: Robot speaking of Pepe, I have to pee real bad.
Speaker 2: We'll be okay, we'll take a break.
Speaker 4: We're just going to send silence until you get back.
Speaker 3: How deep is the deepest point in the I'm back?
Speaker 5: Also, I had my headphone. I got my headphone, so
Speaker 5: I heard that entire thing while I was urinating.
Speaker 2: Does that mean that you're interested in some good night pets? Now?
Speaker 2: I am interesting good night pets. Dang.
Speaker 3: We should have been like, yeah.
Speaker 5: Solid stream, my friends, Solid stream.
Speaker 2: Question ten. This question is Charlie Chaplin Rules. The timely
Speaker 2: release of Tiger King in March of twenty twenty had
Speaker 2: us all in a choke hold while we waited out
Speaker 2: our allegedly two week quarantine. This series highlighted the dangers
Speaker 2: and Horrors of Private Wildlife Ownership, which bill was signed
Speaker 2: into law in December of twenty twenty after gaining popularity
Speaker 2: in thanks to the series Tiger King.
Speaker 4: Oh is this multiple choice?
Speaker 2: This is Charlie Chaplin Rules, Baby Rick Man get closest
Speaker 2: to the vibes? I dare you law was signed in
Speaker 2: what bill was signed into law? I will correct myself.
Speaker 2: It was December of twenty twenty two. But Tiger King
Speaker 2: is yeah, Grt Cooper, Yeah, Cooper.
Speaker 4: I think it's it's probably like the Exotic Animals Act
Speaker 4: or something like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, so final answer, yeah, okay, Exotic Animals Act for
Speaker 2: Cooper Aiden.
Speaker 6: You know, I actually recently read about this in my
Speaker 6: my studies. It's US Code Section five chabably known as
Speaker 6: the Carroll Baskin Act, which I believe in Layman's term,
Speaker 6: states that the owning of pets some might consider exotic,
Speaker 6: as in tigers, leopards, cheetahs, not just big cats, probably
Speaker 6: like whales. I don't know where you keep those, but
Speaker 6: they're more like plants anyway, but those must be strictly
Speaker 6: licensed by the Secret Life of Pets Administration.
Speaker 2: And also don't hire a bounty hunter to come after me.
Speaker 3: I think that's other laws that say that, but I
Speaker 3: think that the laws that don't hire.
Speaker 2: Dante. Would you like to take a crack at.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really struggling here, honestly trying to think of anything.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna say, Okay, let's say, uh.
Speaker 2: What what were things?
Speaker 5: Remember from Tiger King? We got tigers, we got other
Speaker 5: exotic animals, Yes, we got and I remember that one
Speaker 5: dude had some gnarly hair. I feel like it was
Speaker 5: probably like a Mullet situation and were a lot of
Speaker 5: like patterned I think it wore a lot of like
Speaker 5: patterned clothing. So I'm gonna say, wait, this is this
Speaker 5: a federal law or like a state law? This is
Speaker 5: federal law, Frick.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that signed by Joe Biden himself.
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm gonna say, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: What? Okay, we got Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing it was that was signed into law,
Speaker 2: this could be a civic episode. But the president signs
Speaker 2: the bills.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden signs the bills.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Joe Biden was strongly
Speaker 2: anti mullet and signed sign a bill no, he's got
Speaker 2: to be well, no, I just Rocke.
Speaker 4: You know, he's party in the back. He's a party,
Speaker 4: party in the.
Speaker 5: Back, for sure, business up front, you know, absolutely could
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say the Mullet Protection Act. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: it's making sure that no one face you know, like
Speaker 5: criticism or like wrong ful termination just for their hairstylings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's necessary in today's society. Unfortunately, that was not
Speaker 2: the bill that got signed. All well, Cooper, don't understand.
Speaker 2: It's okay, we all knew the vibes of this law,
Speaker 2: and they were extrapolated by Aden and Dante. But you
Speaker 2: got closest to the answer, which is the Big Cat
Speaker 2: Safety Act. Oh, Dan, So Exotic Animals Act is like
Speaker 2: very close to time to keep those tigers out of
Speaker 2: private hands for breeding. I have a confession that I'd
Speaker 2: like to make during our ad break.
Speaker 4: Sure this is gonna be our ad break, but I
Speaker 4: have I have a serious Nelson Mandela effect that I
Speaker 4: thought Tiger King came out in like twenty eighteen. Really
Speaker 4: I never saw it, but I thought I remember people
Speaker 4: talking about it, like while I was in high school.
Speaker 2: Oh no way, interesting.
Speaker 4: I could have sworn I remember it was talking about
Speaker 4: while I'm in high school, and then like earlier this year,
Speaker 4: somebody mentioned like, oh, everybody was watching it over COVID,
Speaker 4: and I was like what I thought it was already
Speaker 4: out by that time.
Speaker 2: I have very specific memories of like sitting in my
Speaker 2: quarantine department, like just looking through Netflix, going like, well,
Speaker 2: I got enough else to do, so here goes to
Speaker 2: Tiger King.
Speaker 3: They might have done that, like he might have been
Speaker 3: a thing before.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was very widely known though. Yeah,
Speaker 2: was released in March of twenty twenty. Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think it would have been very big before that.
Speaker 4: Because it's definitely not something like I thought. I remember
Speaker 4: being with like a group of friends hanging out when
Speaker 4: I heard about it, which meant something I would have
Speaker 4: been covid. I wasn't hanging out from very.
Speaker 2: Many friends home by then.
Speaker 4: I was working at Low's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't actually all your Low's co workers talking
Speaker 2: about their Tiger King watching.
Speaker 3: Playing way too much Minecraft. That was March twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah among us, Does anybody have any other ads they'd
Speaker 2: like to make today? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Other ads?
Speaker 3: Oh boy do?
Speaker 4: I Thanks makes mounts Mandola for the effect.
Speaker 5: That's that's what we should be thanking him for, no
Speaker 5: other accomplishments.
Speaker 3: Let's remember him for that effect. Conter, I got an
Speaker 3: ad for you ready, let's hear it.
Speaker 6: Are you a billionaire looking to spice up your living area,
Speaker 6: not with water plants like fish, but with art that boy,
Speaker 6: do we have something for you. This random monkey painted
Speaker 6: pictures of the Delaware Crossing. But they're all cats and
Speaker 6: one of them is a lobster. And it's currently on
Speaker 6: auction right now for fifteen million dollars. Screw your Andy Warhols,
Speaker 6: throw away those renoirs, because what we got monkey art
Speaker 6: with cats.
Speaker 2: It's all the race.
Speaker 4: How much like the Dollar Crossing with cats in your mobster?
Speaker 4: Would it have to look before you're like, no way,
Speaker 4: a monkey? That's you know, there's there's definitely a gap
Speaker 4: between I believe a monkey drew this and me knowing
Speaker 4: that it's the crossing of the Delaware with cats and
Speaker 4: a lobster. Yeah, And I don't think I don't think
Speaker 4: they overlap. I think the second I think, oh, this
Speaker 4: is the Delaware Crossing with cats and a lobster is
Speaker 4: past the point that I think a monkey did this.
Speaker 2: Do you think if a monkey like had a painting
Speaker 2: of that to go off of that, they could be
Speaker 2: trained to copy it.
Speaker 4: Are allowed.
Speaker 3: The canvases?
Speaker 6: Do you think one of them would come out with
Speaker 6: the Delaware crossing? But they're all cats and there's one lobster.
Speaker 5: Why do we just get I don't know, monkey, we
Speaker 5: can that. It's too bad, it's way close.
Speaker 4: I would never believe that a monkey the Delaware crossings.
Speaker 3: Hang on, I need a tagline for the end of this.
Speaker 6: Right, this art is so good you'll go banana. So
Speaker 6: come on down to the local arts auction place.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, before we get into round three, would you
Speaker 2: guys like to do another score check?
Speaker 3: No, yes, I don't. I didn't get anything that round.
Speaker 3: I'm still at I'm not doing yo.
Speaker 2: I'm also at six. Petition just got hotter.
Speaker 4: I don't even need to play the game the first round.
Speaker 2: Baby, Yeah, yeah, just bring it back. I don't even
Speaker 2: call it a comeback. He was just waiting. All right, Well,
Speaker 2: let's get into it. Round three. This round of questions
Speaker 2: is about pets running for elected office. You have five questions.
Speaker 3: There's five cases.
Speaker 2: I googled it because I was committed. I knew there
Speaker 2: was enough that I needed to find them, and I
Speaker 2: was so happy. It's so fun.
Speaker 4: Every question is just like a dog ran from here?
Speaker 4: What's his name?
Speaker 3: Doctor Wofles.
Speaker 2: Well, let's put this to the test. Question eleven. This
Speaker 2: question is closest answer wins. Boston Curtis, a literal brown mule,
Speaker 2: was elected to a Republican precinct seat in Milton, Washington
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty eight. The mules owner said he had
Speaker 2: done this to demonstrate that many people vote without considering
Speaker 2: who they are actually voting for. For frame of reference,
Speaker 2: there were a total fifty one votes in this election. Wow,
Speaker 2: how many votes did the opposition to the brown mule receive?
Speaker 2: The opposite? So not the brown mule, the opposition is
Speaker 2: this closest? Closest answer wins, Starting with aid.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I gotta say this, but I heard that bron
Speaker 6: mules kind of an ass.
Speaker 2: O connor play the sound effect, play the sound effect.
Speaker 3: But I'm all right that I got that out of
Speaker 3: the very delayed.
Speaker 2: My apologies.
Speaker 6: Yeah, fifty one total votes, that's right. I'm gonna super
Speaker 6: low ball. I'm gonna say like yeah, like mm hm,
Speaker 6: you got five. I might say, got ten percent of
Speaker 6: the bus.
Speaker 5: So the opposition would get math forty nine. You're saying,
Speaker 5: is that your.
Speaker 3: No, the mule got forty, mule mule got forty.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that's what was. Yeah, I have not yet
Speaker 2: revealed who won the election.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, no, I.
Speaker 2: Take that back.
Speaker 3: You did say.
Speaker 2: I take that back. I said he was elected. He
Speaker 2: did win, he did win the elections.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think we allume, yeah, if.
Speaker 6: He ran, this mule ran, but no one voted for
Speaker 6: the opposition got fifty one votes.
Speaker 2: Who is next? Let's go with Dante.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna say it was. I'm gonna say zero.
Speaker 5: I say everyone voted for zero.
Speaker 2: Vot Cooper, I just check out.
Speaker 4: I just check out. I don't know. I think I
Speaker 4: think they were proved wrong and that everybody, uh were
Speaker 4: informed voters that it was a close race between the
Speaker 4: Mule and the opposition. So it was a close majority
Speaker 4: for the Mule the opposition.
Speaker 2: Okay, everyone like read up in there to Okay, I
Speaker 2: know there's a mule running.
Speaker 4: You're like, there's a mule. You know, I'm against some
Speaker 4: of the oppositions, you know, but the mule went.
Speaker 3: You know, They're like, Oh, I don't think you can
Speaker 3: say that in this day and age.
Speaker 2: But actually the voters were so pro mule. The opposition
Speaker 2: did get zero, and really they had no idea there
Speaker 2: was a mule. This guy was right. Nobody was paying attention.
Speaker 5: If there's one thing, if there's one thing you can
Speaker 5: count on, it's people not caring enough to read up
Speaker 5: on local politics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, say that's my party. What was the name, Boston Curtis.
Speaker 2: That's a great name.
Speaker 4: Was not a very good name.
Speaker 2: No, he was very official sounding. I'm gonna name him.
Speaker 2: He was I might Should I name my Should I
Speaker 2: name my lobster after this mule, My Boston lobster. He
Speaker 2: has his name, Curtis the Lobster.
Speaker 4: Boston Curtis the painting.
Speaker 2: Have him run for local office, this little stuffed animals.
Speaker 2: He should do it. People probably won't know he's a lot.
Speaker 5: Think he needs a monocle and he'll be more stately
Speaker 5: and very electable.
Speaker 6: Yes, Jamaica, or dress him up in a Revolutionary War uniform.
Speaker 5: It's like, was so confused, Why would like he's from
Speaker 5: Boston though, Jamaica.
Speaker 2: They're a big or Jamaica Curtis all right, let's keep
Speaker 2: it moving here. Let's go on to question twelve. A
Speaker 2: cat named Stubbs was named honorary mayor of Talkeitna, Alaska,
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven. Following their mayoral fame, Stubbs was
Speaker 2: later a write in candidate for which office? This is
Speaker 2: multiple choice?
Speaker 3: Cleared, Coopers, go away.
Speaker 2: I'll read the multiple choice A state representative, B, United
Speaker 2: States Senate, C, United States President or D Ambassador to
Speaker 2: the United Nations. Well, that's I wouldn't that's so it
Speaker 2: is super dope Cooper.
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna say president.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I mean there there are like a million people who wrote.
Speaker 2: This is true. True, this is true. I would write
Speaker 2: in stubs if I knew about stuff.
Speaker 6: I was going to say president because it's the easy one.
Speaker 6: But freaking US ambassador is so cool to the U N.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's elected. I think ambassadors are appointed
Speaker 6: by the president. So I'm going to go with state
Speaker 6: representative because it's like a district thing, like they all
Speaker 6: write it.
Speaker 3: In for their district.
Speaker 2: True. Yeah, yeah, okay, Dante, what was the what's the
Speaker 2: last one that I don't know? It's not We've got
Speaker 2: state representative, right, state Representative, United States Senate, United States President,
Speaker 2: or Ambassador to the UN Senate, United States Senate that
Speaker 2: wins it. It was the.
Speaker 3: Which I think I'm still saying ambassador is not elected.
Speaker 4: Tell me nobody wrote in stubs for president.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure, but well that I know U you.
Speaker 4: Can you can guarantee that nobody wrote and star.
Speaker 2: I couldn't guarantee it. We could. We could go to
Speaker 2: the Googles, but that would have to be after the game.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna write, it's just take ambassador to the U.
Speaker 2: N Yeah, yeah, well all right, everyone would be twenty
Speaker 2: six years old. The reason sounds like a no would
Speaker 2: be guess not the corpse of studies for the next thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I only went with Ambassador to the UN
Speaker 2: because I needed some international office, just to just to
Speaker 2: really raise up the level. But I don't think any
Speaker 2: of those imagine can you imagine if you planned this
Speaker 2: like opulent meeting with the Ambassador of the United States
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 5: You walk in the room and it's just like a
Speaker 5: literal cat.
Speaker 2: Guys, we can't do anything about It's a democracy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I really couldn't say no. It's will probably say no
Speaker 2: harder scene. It didn't work. It didn't work, all right,
Speaker 2: let's keep it going Question thirteen. This question is again
Speaker 2: multiple choice. Although her candidacy was not accepted, casa Rico,
Speaker 2: the Rhinoceros of the sou Palo Zoo, received one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand votes for city council in nineteen fifty eight, amazing.
Speaker 2: Casareco's fame was so great that she inspired the formation
Speaker 2: of a political party in which country A Argentina, B Australia, C,
Speaker 2: France or D Canada.
Speaker 3: What's the where?
Speaker 2: Casareco received one hundred thousand votes for city council in
Speaker 2: sou Paolo in Brazil. So formation of the political party
Speaker 2: in another country starting with Cooper.
Speaker 4: I think Brazil. It's gotta be like the Argentina. I
Speaker 4: think it's something.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, let's hear from Dante.
Speaker 3: Let to go.
Speaker 2: Australia was doing raizy stuff over there. This is true.
Speaker 2: This Australians going wild aid.
Speaker 3: You see.
Speaker 6: Canada just always has so many and I don't think
Speaker 6: it's France has so many what parties? They have a
Speaker 6: lot of friends there. I'll go Canada just because I
Speaker 6: don't think it's France, and I want to be different.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know that Canada just was swimming with
Speaker 2: political parties, but yeah, that's where it happened. Nice man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they formed it as like a political satire thing of like,
Speaker 2: you know, just going against government corruption and all that.
Speaker 6: I think Canada, while they are like fairly two party,
Speaker 6: I think like most out of a lot of countries
Speaker 6: have like a significant like minority section.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's where they went, those Canadians Canadian politics
Speaker 5: because Brian.
Speaker 2: He knows it all and we'll talk about us. But
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't like, Oh, I want one Canadian
Speaker 2: election cycle.
Speaker 3: And that was that was enough.
Speaker 2: Y'all better start listening. It could come up more on Yeah, honestly.
Speaker 4: Better learn your Canadian projects exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay. Question fourteen. This question is multiple choice. Uh, this
Speaker 2: isn't about an inanimate object. For all the pet rock
Speaker 2: owners out there, a nice Which of the following objects
Speaker 2: ran for election in British Columbia multiple times between two
Speaker 2: thousand and four and two thousand and eight, including for
Speaker 2: a position on the Board of Governors. Coming within six
Speaker 2: percent of being elected is very close? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: we're being an inanimate object. No sentience about this My
Speaker 2: pet rock is oh, I need to give you the options.
Speaker 3: Yes, we could just get can we do one round?
Speaker 2: Or we just like, where's the buzzes? Guys, where are
Speaker 2: you at? Okay? A traffic cone, B, fire hydrant, C,
Speaker 2: snowplow or d aple tree.
Speaker 4: Town it it's gotta be snow, it's gotta.
Speaker 6: Be okay, Aiden, I don't think it's fire hydrant because
Speaker 6: how would you take that out of the Wait city council?
Speaker 2: They could just meet around the fire hydrant.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was like, is it like a local fire
Speaker 6: hydrant that they're like, damn, this thing rocks, but you
Speaker 6: can't move it.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna say, fire hydrant? I've talked
Speaker 3: about something. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I love the idea of traffic cone. I think that's hilarious. Uh,
Speaker 5: but I.
Speaker 2: Don't a pushover, but super good push over.
Speaker 5: When I was in high school, we had, uh, we
Speaker 5: had a traffic cone as the mascot of our cross
Speaker 5: country team one year because we like stole it from
Speaker 5: another school and then we put googly eyes on it
Speaker 5: and then we would bring it to every meet and
Speaker 5: he was like, our team mascot was a traffic cone.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: It was definitely we did that for uh for marching,
Speaker 4: we had a Cone marching.
Speaker 2: Band two electric.
Speaker 5: I'm also going to go I'm also going to go
Speaker 5: snowclown because it has to be.
Speaker 2: It makes so much sense for Canada. But actually it
Speaker 2: was a to who got it right. Yo talked himself
Speaker 2: into fire hydrant and a fire hydrant came within six
Speaker 2: percent being collected.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they were just like the fire
Speaker 4: hydrant down the street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this fire.
Speaker 2: Hydrants us the community. He's one of them.
Speaker 3: He saved my house more times than the other guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about the story, so we'll leave
Speaker 2: it to your imagination. You can google it. I should
Speaker 2: have looked into it more.
Speaker 3: Luckily, I would love to.
Speaker 4: Don't take that and you don't know the story. Cooper's
Speaker 4: I'm challenging right now.
Speaker 6: Cooper's going for a Oh see, I was about to
Speaker 6: go into the story card fire high.
Speaker 4: That almost got electing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: The whole story. I think that is the whole story.
Speaker 2: Like that is a sentence long story and that's kind
Speaker 2: of all you need.
Speaker 3: That's a story. Hey, he locked in.
Speaker 4: I'm going for it.
Speaker 2: It was wild enough that I was like, well, Cooper,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to say that it was actually the fire hydrant.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it was just it was just I
Speaker 2: saw it on the Wikipedia article.
Speaker 3: I had to.
Speaker 2: I had to make it a question. I couldn't say
Speaker 2: no to that. This Wikipedia article was about non human
Speaker 2: candidates for office. Amazing.
Speaker 3: That's pretty I need to look that up.
Speaker 2: It was super fun to read through. Okay, well we've
Speaker 2: thrown down a gauntlet already. Let's see what we have left.
Speaker 2: Question fifteen. This question is multiple choice. In the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 2: the town of Lahitas, Texas, held an election for mayor
Speaker 2: between human incumbent Tommy Steele, a wooden statue of a
Speaker 2: Native American, a dog named Buster, in a goat named
Speaker 2: Clay Henry. Who won? What? Who won? Who? Is the question?
Speaker 2: That's the question. So it is a multiple choice. It
Speaker 2: is multiple choice. There were four the incumbent, I'll read
Speaker 2: one more time, human incumbent, Tommy Steele, a wooden statue
Speaker 2: of a Native American, a dog named Buster, and a
Speaker 2: goat named Clay Henry.
Speaker 6: See, while I think, like, honestly, I think the incumbent
Speaker 6: probably won, Clay Henry got that Boston.
Speaker 2: What's his Boston Curtis name.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Boston Curtis name. So I got hen he
Speaker 3: got the Boston Curtis vibes.
Speaker 2: This is true, this is true. Let's hear from Dante.
Speaker 4: But Boston Curiston win.
Speaker 3: Zero Boston Curtis.
Speaker 5: I also had that same thought of like if all
Speaker 5: those like, it's just such a good name, Like I
Speaker 5: just want to vote for that goat. I mean no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: I want it.
Speaker 2: I want it.
Speaker 5: I think it's fine that we both do it because
Speaker 5: I think it's the right answer. I mean, like I
Speaker 5: would love, what would love for the statue of the
Speaker 5: Native American to be like the Victor. But I just realistically,
Speaker 5: I think historically Texas probably not probably not the most
Speaker 5: progressive state.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I think.
Speaker 4: The Native Americans statue or it.
Speaker 2: Was a wooden statue of a Native American.
Speaker 3: Statue, Connor, can I change mine just to spice it up?
Speaker 2: Or no, I'll allow it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go the human I'll be.
Speaker 2: Boring, Okay, I'll take the boring zone.
Speaker 6: So that Dante and if it is not Boston Curtis
Speaker 6: but Clay Henry, then we're not both right.
Speaker 2: Well, guys. Fortunately, nobody answer was the dog named Buster.
Speaker 2: He's just coming in all cute.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he doesn't have a last name or a
Speaker 6: first name. That's also a place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true. But the incumbent wanted to keep
Speaker 2: the town dry and the residents were so upset about
Speaker 2: it that they elected Buster out of spite.
Speaker 3: That's Clay Henry would have let the alcohol flow.
Speaker 4: Well, what's what's Buster going to do?
Speaker 5: Make?
Speaker 4: Change? Change it?
Speaker 2: It's just another guy, I guess.
Speaker 4: The incumbent wants to keep the town dry. Is Buster
Speaker 4: going to pass legislation to make it?
Speaker 3: A little papprint on the bill signing it in the law?
Speaker 2: They just said, enough of us for you. It's delightful.
Speaker 3: What was the names?
Speaker 4: Is a heavy alcohol.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big booze and dog.
Speaker 6: I think the only one you could convince to switch
Speaker 6: it would be the human guy, like literally you could
Speaker 6: like talk to him because the statues not play Henry
Speaker 6: so good, so good.
Speaker 2: Little do our contestants know that this was the fake answer?
Speaker 5: Looks like they were fooled this time.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we've reached the end of the questions.
Speaker 2: We still have two challenges left out there.
Speaker 3: Connor, do you want to do the thing.
Speaker 2: Please any other questions, Okay, let's do a speed run here,
Speaker 2: speed run, don't tell what do you think there's a
Speaker 2: tough one, Cooper. Which one?
Speaker 5: Did you challenge the fire hydrant? I think I might
Speaker 5: challenge Stubbs Stubbs the cat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't get written in for us.
Speaker 5: I think even though I got that one right, I'm
Speaker 5: pretty sure. Yeah, Okay, yeah, I think that was your points.
Speaker 2: I still feel like maybe it was a presidential situation.
Speaker 3: Could be I'm gonna challenge the mule.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna challenge Boston Curtis?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna challenge Boston Curtis because you said elected, yes,
Speaker 6: and I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think he could like get elected.
Speaker 6: I think he either he didn't like actually receive votes
Speaker 6: or whatever, or like he might have received the votes
Speaker 6: but he didn't get elected.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Okay, I don't know about the aftermath
Speaker 2: of the election, like whether they accepted it or not.
Speaker 2: It could a sneaky reveal.
Speaker 6: They stick to my guns. I don't think he got zero.
Speaker 6: I don't think fifty one people voted.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was actually in the aftermath they revealed it
Speaker 5: and it was actually just like the two people in
Speaker 5: the costume of the horse.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're running the town Boston.
Speaker 4: The fame.
Speaker 2: Well you guys ready to hear the answer? Yeah, Boston.
Speaker 2: Curtis received fifty one votes and the opposition got zero.
Speaker 3: That's a bummer.
Speaker 2: And Dante Stubbs was written in for us name yeah,
Speaker 2: big big cat on Capitol Hill. The the big answer
Speaker 2: was the dog named Buster the last tell me Henry
Speaker 2: that one. Clay freaking Henry won the we do because
Speaker 2: Tommy Steele was from Houston and was chosen as mayor
Speaker 2: by some businessmen visiting the town, and Clay Henry's owner
Speaker 2: had multiple generations of family from the town and decided
Speaker 2: that if someone from Houston could be mayor, so could
Speaker 2: his goat. So he had a friend from Henry and
Speaker 2: eventually won the seat, and goats have been in the
Speaker 2: office of mayor in Lahitas, Texas ever since.
Speaker 6: Wait hang on now, that's wait, that's so awesome.
Speaker 4: Who's doing like the actual mayor job?
Speaker 2: The goat that's a great question. You need to be
Speaker 2: mayor to Clay Henry the Thurson. All you need to do, mayor,
Speaker 2: Monicole Clay hop hat. Then you're set. Then you're set,
Speaker 2: and Clay Henry's probably got a beard for sure.
Speaker 6: You're probably choose through the ribbons and all those ribbons
Speaker 6: cutting ceremonies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just choose them. Choose them up, Clay Henry.
Speaker 3: Job, nice job, excellent job, Clay, Clay and Boston.
Speaker 2: Absolute legends, absolute legends. Well, folks, looks like we've rolled
Speaker 2: into the station. Time to go check out the dog show. Wait,
Speaker 2: oh wait, that's we didn't decide who won. Oh wait, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's see who were doing.
Speaker 4: We didn't figure.
Speaker 5: Out these are have ever been competed for? And you
Speaker 5: were about to let us off the butelie.
Speaker 2: Okay, we can stay on the bus. I think they
Speaker 2: can stay in the drop off lane for like two minutes.
Speaker 2: Who what?
Speaker 3: I drop down to five?
Speaker 2: So I think I have eight points?
Speaker 4: I have three?
