Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, for sure, Allison. Did you agree with that
Speaker 2: or did you go your own way? For number one?
Speaker 1: I had originally written down strawberry shortcake, but then I
Speaker 1: clued in on that one word and I went with
Speaker 1: rainbow bright.
Speaker 2: Oh, rainbow right, great guess The correct answer is it's
Speaker 2: rainbow bright.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Strawberry short cake was a good pull.
Speaker 2: That's the one I thought someone would pick. So you
Speaker 2: both were on like exactly what I was putting down.
Speaker 2: I thought, like, strawberry shortcake, rainbow bright, like yeah, but
Speaker 2: Allison is off the schneid. It's one to nothing after one.
Speaker 2: But great guesses all around. Question number two, Sou Paulo,
Speaker 2: Brazil is located closest. Is what major line of latitude
Speaker 2: the Tropic of cancer, the equator or the tropic of Capricorn. Allison?
Speaker 2: What did you put for number two?
Speaker 1: I just went with the first thing I heard because
Speaker 1: that felt good, the tropic of cancer.
Speaker 2: Tropic of cancer. Nora, what did you put?
Speaker 3: I was gonna go with the Tropic of cancer too,
Speaker 3: and then I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I just went with equator, which makes no sense because
Speaker 5: it's probably South America because it's south of the equator.
Speaker 2: But will well, Okay, so we have cancer and the equator.
Speaker 2: The correct answer is the tropic of Capracorn. Oh no, no,
Speaker 2: fil cancer, cancer is a little bit north of the equator.
Speaker 2: And then the one the south. It's like whatever, twenty
Speaker 2: three and a half degrees south latitude is Capricorn, and
Speaker 2: so Paulo, Brazil is south of the equator. Propic of Capricorn.
Speaker 2: Now we all know. But no harm, no fault. Question
Speaker 2: number three. I think we nailed this one. Back in
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, Artists burst onto the music scene
Speaker 2: with her debut album Come Away with Me, the hit
Speaker 2: single Don't know why I didn't? Uh, Nora, what did
Speaker 2: you put?

Speaker 3: We went to college together.
Speaker 5: A second, we used to eat lunch together because she
Speaker 5: was in the jazz hall, Bruce Jazz Hall, and I
Speaker 5: was in this program where you go two years early
Speaker 5: to college and for math and science for red and
Speaker 5: yet look, I don't know anything now. Apparently so because
Speaker 5: I dropped out after a year and that was probably problem.
Speaker 5: But I lunch and we would argue over whose name
Speaker 5: was spelled right. And because she has an H at
Speaker 5: the end of her Nora, clearly it doesn't need this H.
Speaker 3: It's just silly.
Speaker 5: But then I remember leaving school and I moved to
Speaker 5: La act and there was I just remember, I think
Speaker 5: it was like an l magazine and there was this
Speaker 5: tiny little blurb about Noura Jones and her tab and
Speaker 5: I was like, well, look at her.
Speaker 3: Good for her. She got a little tiny blurb in
Speaker 3: this thing. And then she exploded and then everybody started
Speaker 3: spelling my name with an H.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: She ruined it. She ruined your name, the silent H.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Sarah's can understand your plight.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of Sarah's with an H or without. Alison,
Speaker 2: what did you put for number three?
Speaker 1: I also put Noura Jones, but I'm going to cross
Speaker 1: the H out on my paper a tribute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is Norah Jones for number three. What school

Speaker 2: number four?
Speaker 3: Is it the arm?
Speaker 2: The arm in the arm. It is your arm, it's
Speaker 2: your upper arm. It's this bone right here between your
Speaker 2: elbow and your shoulder. Is your humorous That's why you
Speaker 2: get the funny bone, the humorous bone. For number four.
Speaker 2: He nailed it two in a row. Watch out question
Speaker 2: number five. Maybe I liked this question, but I should
Speaker 2: throw it in the trash. Becoming popular in the United

Speaker 1: Well, I wrote something, but then I also drew it.
Speaker 1: But mine is open and Norah's is closed.
Speaker 3: Oh you're such a really nice but that's an added
Speaker 3: level of detail, I believe I gave it it well.

Speaker 1: so I added on some fabric so that it would
Speaker 1: reach one's wrists.
Speaker 3: I would wear that well.
Speaker 1: Thanks.
Speaker 2: This is a this is not a visual medium, but

Speaker 2: you're seeing this. It has a name, So now we

Speaker 2: get the point. But it's a Neyhrew jacket, a Neyrew
Speaker 2: jacket named after the Prime Minister Nehru for India for
Speaker 2: number five. But those drawings will garner you a point
Speaker 2: a piece because you drew them very well.

Speaker 2: stuff in if be long Stacking, Alison, did you? But
Speaker 2: for number seven, I just.

Speaker 2: Correct, It's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 3: I just like I just like throwing names down. But

Speaker 5: It was one of those weird things where it was like,
Speaker 5: I know this, but I don't know it. I can't
Speaker 5: think of it. It's not coming to my head.
Speaker 2: It didn't come to you in time. It's Anton Chekhov

Speaker 2: so that za Hetner loses by one. We'll tell We'll
Speaker 2: give you the.
Speaker 4: It's actually really interesting because the extra tea and tart
Speaker 4: really bumped things up, and because of the way that
Speaker 4: this double duty bad cliff round shakes out, the final
Speaker 4: score ended up being Nora with thirty four and Alison
Speaker 4: with thirty six.
Speaker 2: Wow, oh my gosh, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I'm just like so close, just like if I'm close.

Speaker 2: time for Jackie Gonzales de Ruthie to take over for
Speaker 2: our final throwdown question the final throwdown.
Speaker 4: It's a final throwdown. I know you you spent time
Speaker 4: filling out a questionnaire so Mike could make you a
Speaker 4: beautiful game.
Speaker 1: Cater to you. I did not look at that. This
Speaker 1: is not cater to you.
Speaker 4: You know, it's just it's a fun fact that I
Speaker 4: most recently learned. And so it is sports. It's the
Speaker 4: NHL Finals for the Stanley Cup and I'm watching them.
Speaker 4: I have not watched any of the previous season of
Speaker 4: the season that I am from Miami, and the Panthers
Speaker 4: are in the finals and I'm having a blast. Uh,
Speaker 4: I'm having a great time.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: They just they almost you have to get best out
Speaker 4: of seven, uh, first to four wins. They almost did.
Speaker 4: They got three, so it was looking like and it
Speaker 4: looked like they were going to sweep it and then
Speaker 4: and then they got crushed. Crushed, So they will continue
Speaker 4: to play. But the last time a NHL finals, so
Speaker 4: best as seven got swept. That means one team won
Speaker 4: four and the other team won zero. Happened? Has it
Speaker 4: happened in history? And if it has happened, how many
Speaker 4: years ago did it happen?
Speaker 2: Okay, so has a team just been swept in the
Speaker 2: NHL finals, the Stanley Cup finals, because there's been lots
Speaker 2: of sweeps in the playoffs in hockey. But yeah, you're right,
Speaker 2: I don't think it happens where one team just gets
Speaker 2: skunked and the other teams just from railroad.
Speaker 4: You guys are allowed to chit chat. This is not
Speaker 4: like competitive. You guys are just having a good time
Speaker 4: trying to figure this out.
Speaker 2: So Nora's from Dallas.
Speaker 5: Before I contribute nothing, I'd like everybody to know that
Speaker 5: I did very well in the Sunday Crossroad this morning.
Speaker 4: This is truly a guessing game, and the guessing being
Speaker 4: like has this happened before? And then if it has,
Speaker 4: like how many years do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it it has happened before, because I think it
Speaker 2: happened to my favorite team, the Chicago Blackhawks. I've been
Speaker 2: a Blackhawks fan for many, many years, and they won
Speaker 2: three Stanley Cups, like in the span of like six years,
Speaker 2: from like twenty ten to twenty fifteen, they won three Cups.
Speaker 2: So I was watching playoffs left and right, and I
Speaker 2: think it has happened before. And the one I can
Speaker 2: remember that they got swept by was Mario Lemieux and
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Penguins and it was like nineteen ninety two
Speaker 2: or something. But I think maybe it's happened in between that.
Speaker 2: But that would be my guess. Allison. Have you watched
Speaker 2: hockey at all? You have teams that you've watched in
Speaker 2: the past.
Speaker 1: I pretended to date a Boston Bruins player on a
Speaker 1: television show one time. It's as close since I've gotten
Speaker 1: to hockey. Actually, I watch a one La Kings game
Speaker 1: because I got a free ticket.
Speaker 3: Nora Dame I did the same.
Speaker 2: Live hockey is the best. I think it is the
Speaker 2: best sport to watch live. And playoff hockey is outrageous,
Speaker 2: Like if you can ever go to a playoff game,
Speaker 2: even if you don't know shit about hockey, energy in
Speaker 2: a building during a playoff, you know, especially if you're
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup and it's the finals, Like it's just outrageous.
Speaker 2: So that's all. I think, that's all we got. I'd
Speaker 2: throw out that one because I know the black Hawks
Speaker 2: got swept. They they ran into the Pittsburgh Penguins and
Speaker 2: it was like Mario Lemieux and Yarmor, Yager and they
Speaker 2: just kicked our ass. We couldn't beat them, so that
Speaker 2: would be my guest. But let's let's find out.
Speaker 4: I know very little about hockey as well, but this
Speaker 4: is I was like, wow, it's been a while. It's
Speaker 4: been twenty six years the last time that that happened,
Speaker 4: and it's still the run is still going.
Speaker 1: It did not happen.
Speaker 4: It was in nineteen ninety eight the Red Wings in
Speaker 4: the Capitals.
Speaker 2: Oh the Caps got skunked. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't even know which one.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you're the.
Speaker 2: Capitals because Detroit, Detroit had to run the Red Wings.
Speaker 2: They have a moniker called they're called hockey Town because
Speaker 2: they won three or four Cups in the span of
Speaker 2: like a decade, and like it was from like right
Speaker 2: around nineteen ninety three or four to like nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 2: they won like four Cups or something that we got
Speaker 2: called hockey Town. And the Capital's just won their first
Speaker 2: one in a long time or ever with Alex Ovechkin
Speaker 2: just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: So yeah, just add some fun stakes to next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that, though, Like you don't want to
Speaker 2: get swept. You make it that far, you win three
Speaker 2: playoff series and then you get to the finals. And
Speaker 2: then you lose four games in a row and you're like,
Speaker 2: get out of here. You don't get anything you lose here. Yeah, awesome,
Speaker 2: that was a good question, Jackie. I like that we
Speaker 2: all learned a little something something before we set our goodbyes.
Speaker 2: But ladies can't thank you enough, and we're happy to
Speaker 2: make donations in your names for those charities and wish
Speaker 2: you continued success in all you do.

Speaker 3: were so smart, and now it's official.
Speaker 1: That's very well, it is official. But that's very generous
Speaker 1: and kind of you to say, because you're also very smart.
