Speaker 1: That's it for the regular rounds. That means it's time
Speaker 1: for the Big Bang Round. The category for this week's
Speaker 1: Big Bang Round is Language. We're gonna ask you three questions,
Speaker 1: the answers of which are all clues to the final question.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind the three clue questions may not be
Speaker 1: from the same category as the final one. Question one.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and four and two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: TV Guide ranked What Series, which premiered in nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 1: as the greatest cult show ever.
Speaker 2: Question two, which nineteen seventy nine film, sees a street
Speaker 2: gang that escaped from the Bronx back to their home
Speaker 2: turf on Coney Island after being framed for the murder
Speaker 2: of a respected gang leader.
Speaker 1: Question three in the Animal Kingdom, Raptors are also known
Speaker 1: by what three word term.
Speaker 2: And your Big Bang question, what is the most developed
Speaker 2: fictional language?
Speaker 1: And now the answers to the Big Bang round question
Speaker 1: one in two thousand and four. In two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: TV Guide ranked what series, which premiered in nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 1: says the greatest cult show ever Star Trick.
Speaker 2: Question two, which nineteen seventy nine film, sees a street
Speaker 2: gang that escaped from the Bronx back to their home
Speaker 2: turf on Coney Island after being framed for the murder
Speaker 2: of a respected gang leader, The Warriors Question three.
Speaker 1: In the Animal Kingdom, raptors are also known by what
Speaker 1: three word term? Birds of Prey.
Speaker 2: And your Big Bang question, what is the most developed
Speaker 2: fictional language? The language of the Warrior race who fly
Speaker 2: in Birds of Prey in the Star Trek universe.
Speaker 1: Cling On, So that language has been developed from both
Speaker 1: the writing of the show and from Trekki's who've watched it,
Speaker 1: transcribed it, and you know, figured out how to talk
Speaker 1: like it. The only problem with that is that it's
Speaker 1: not terribly conversational because most of the things that you
Speaker 1: you know from the shows are about either shooting your
Speaker 1: phasers or beaming someone up or launching torpedoes, or glory
Speaker 1: to your house. Otherwise you're a patack. I feel like
Speaker 1: I cling on Bernie Sanders, we'll learn glory to your house.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're a patakh. Make sure you an your captain,
Speaker 1: but not the one percent, only the nine to nine percent.
Speaker 1: We'll get into stove a Cole. I didn't expect it
Speaker 1: to cling on Bernie Sanders tonight.
Speaker 2: Are Yeah. I still don't understand how the finances of
Speaker 2: the Star Trek universe work, because they make a big
Speaker 2: deal that humans become enlightened and get rid of money,
Speaker 2: and that the Federation doesn't need money because who cares.
Speaker 2: But there's definitely like a very strong hierarchy in jobs,
Speaker 2: you know, like and but I guess you're not doing
Speaker 2: it for money, just for the you know, better job position.
Speaker 2: But then like you go to places like Quarks, and
Speaker 2: he wants money, he's not just going to take good
Speaker 2: feelings and vibes.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like very heavily capitalistic society, right.
Speaker 2: And so they all go there and they go to Riza,
Speaker 2: which I'm guessing is also not free, you know, So
Speaker 2: like I don't know how they accumulate money to go
Speaker 2: on vacation and go out to bars. But they have money,
Speaker 2: but they're too enlightened for it. Like I just I'm like,
Speaker 2: I have questions, but I love how popular the Klingon
Speaker 2: language is, like kling On Christmas Carol.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a there's a handful of people they said
Speaker 1: that's fluent in it, and some people that are you know,
Speaker 1: as conversational as you can be, I guess. And this
Speaker 1: is in comparison to say, the Elvish language that J. R. R.
Speaker 1: Tolkien came up with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's impressive because it's.
Speaker 1: A lot of decently developed itself. Yeah, but everything every
Speaker 1: source that I checked on this was pretty much like
Speaker 1: Klingon's far and away more developed. Yeah, it makes some sense.
Speaker 1: It's it's been around for a while, not that Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings hasn't.
Speaker 2: But well, I don't know if anyone's expanded on what
Speaker 2: Tolkien did.
Speaker 1: I don't know if, yeah, they have, But but I
Speaker 1: think there's also something with the media of it. Where
Speaker 1: it started on a television show had a wide reach.
Speaker 1: You could hear people talking in it already. His was
Speaker 1: all on paper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you think that the Klingons stayed all
Speaker 2: the way back to the original series, and they are
Speaker 2: all the way through the most modern series and then
Speaker 2: all the movies and stuff. And then each time they
Speaker 2: do a new Klingon scene and throw some more words
Speaker 2: in there, they get a new linguist in there, developing
Speaker 2: it further. So yeah, it makes sense. I don't know
Speaker 2: if the Rings of Power are expanding on the Elvish
Speaker 2: language at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I do feel like the
Speaker 1: Elvish language has quite a few people who either know
Speaker 1: a lot of it. I didn't see how fluent people
Speaker 1: were in it, but it just seemed to insinuate that
Speaker 1: it just wasn't as developed to be conversational. The Klingon
Speaker 1: language has developed from the orders and commands to be
Speaker 1: more conversational itself. Yeah, I don't know. It's interesting, and
Speaker 1: I was just kind of surprised that Elvish was lagging
Speaker 1: that far behind. I guess yeah, But you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, I think it has to do with the
Speaker 1: introduction of it the medium, and Gene Roddenberry probably had
Speaker 1: a hand in crafting a lot of it because he
Speaker 1: was involved through Star Trek the next generation. So from
Speaker 1: the sixties through the nineties, you know, into the nineties
Speaker 1: and that. Yeah, that could be why that's more developed,
Speaker 1: and there's more examples of it, like you said, whereas
Speaker 1: I think Tolkien came up with an alphabet, but I
Speaker 1: don't know for sure, you know, just off the top
Speaker 1: of my head, if he came up with any syntax
Speaker 1: or grammar.
Speaker 2: I think Tolkien addressed at once where he was like,
Speaker 2: it was important to me to develop this language, and
Speaker 2: I was very passionate about it, and I wanted to
Speaker 2: do it for the book, but I never expected people
Speaker 2: to want to try to use it as a language.
Speaker 2: I think he's kind of threw shade at people learning
Speaker 2: elvisions and things like that. I had a klingon English
Speaker 2: Dictionary really when I was a kid, so I was
Speaker 2: nerdy enough to buy that, but that I wasn't nerdy
Speaker 2: enough to learn anything.
Speaker 1: Or keep the book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what happened to it. My parents
Speaker 2: must have tested at some point, or maybe it's in
Speaker 2: the storage in it. I don't know, but like I
Speaker 2: did have it, and I would use it to like
Speaker 2: look up specific words and stuff. I never was like
Speaker 2: I'm going to memorize everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it has to do with the quantity
Speaker 1: of usage too, because they used it, you know, quite
Speaker 1: a bit in the Peter Jackson films. So you can't
Speaker 1: say that there's not much grammar syntax from that because
Speaker 1: they they talk to each other. Oh yeah, sure, but
Speaker 1: you know those are what at best, six films as
Speaker 1: opposed to all the episodes that Klingons are in and
Speaker 1: Star Trek and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Dictionary. Yeah. Star Trek has what like
Speaker 2: nine different shows now and nine different movies. I can't
Speaker 2: I don't even know, like twelve.
Speaker 1: You weren't coming out. Yeah, that looks terrible.
Speaker 2: And Starfleet Academy and Stephen Colbert is gonna be in it,
Speaker 2: oh yea, and Robert Piccardo come on, David.
Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm excited to see him back. But it's
Speaker 1: set in the Discovery timeline. Oh yeah, for more Star
Speaker 1: Trek and Tolkien talk talking Tolkien. Has that been done?
Speaker 1: I'm sure it has.
Speaker 2: That's what Stephen Colbert can do once he's done with
Speaker 2: the Late Night Show.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should start that up and be like Stephen Colbert,
Speaker 1: we've started this, Please take over and it's yours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just get royalties for starting talk and Tolkien anyways
Speaker 1: for more of that, or if you like talking Tolkien,

Speaker 2: so that it'd be like technically.
Speaker 1: Get that Orinoco flow.
Speaker 2: Yeah CD or streaming, and then the other one said

Speaker 2: Good job.
Speaker 1: Well, everybody's like, why is it wanting to visit Venus? Like,
Speaker 1: if it's intelligent, it would probably come here.
Speaker 2: No, if it's intelligent, it wouldn't.
Speaker 1: But that's the argument. Yeah, they scanned this planet, found
Speaker 1: no intelligent life.
Speaker 2: They're like, Venus looks pretty, looks hot. Hot hot,
