Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're just a few short months away from Valentine's Day.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It next year, it's not even in this calendar year.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Anymore, just a few short months away. And who would
you say is a more romantic culture Americans or the British? Oh?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I actually go Americans on that.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
What the Brits may have one up on us, because
there's a story in the news about a thirty six
year old guy named Johnny Norman who wanted to celebrate
his wife's birthday by booking a romantic hotel room getaway.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
That's sweet. I mean men in America do that too, Jeff, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well he went even farther really, because he secretly asked
the staff to put thirty assorted bags of chips on
the bed while they were out at dinner. Americans would
do like rose petals or something lame.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Wait, are are the chips still in the bag or
are they just opened and sprinkled?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Is it like a trailer?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'll get to that in a sessions. The thing is,
his wife, Rachel, absolutely loves chips. He thought she would
see it and be totally swept off her feet by
the array of family size free doos. One problem, while
they were gone, the staff misunderstood his request, opened up

(01:27):
all the bags.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
And sprinkled the chips all over the.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Sheets like confetti. Show you a picture of it.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Oh my god, they're everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I love that the staff did it, and it's on
white linens.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
It looks like a nice.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
We have to clean this.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, dude, imagine sleeping with all those crawls.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Rachel's first thought she thought it was a break in,
didn't stop her from eating some of the chips right
off the top of the duvet. Meanwhile, Johnny couldn't stop laughing.
A total misunderstanding, so the hotel was notified. They changed
the sheets for them and gave them a voucher for
another free one night's stay, like the little chip packs

(02:17):
in a heart shape.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Totally it would have been way better. Yeah, I mean
in the packaging would have been key to this.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, but Brits, you win this round. Hot hotel night stays.
Now let's move on.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
We're gonna get into.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
The shot collar question of the day and hand it
over to our digital producer whose name is sort of
alluding me right now. I want to say Blake.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, Drake, it's close.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Something that he was gone for too long. It's Jake.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, that, yeah, you give us questions. Whatever you say, Brooks.
On this day in two thousand and five, at the time,
the world's tallest roller coaster, King dak Ka opened at
six Flags Great Adventures. Towering at four hundred and fifty
six feet high, it goes zero toe on one hundred
and twenty eight miles per hour in under four seconds.

(03:09):
Why why do people need that? It's actually the same speed.
Your soul leads your body. When the safety bar clicks down,
you realize this is a mistake, but it is a
record breaker, which is why today we're gonna play a
special What's Taller edition of twenty of twenty. So you
say number one through twenty. I'll name two towering objects.

(03:32):
You just have to tell me which one is taller
to stay in the game.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
We'll start with the woman who might not be taller
than anyone else, but she is fuller. That's Alexis.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
There's way too many Fuller jokes in my life.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
How aoud a number? Alexis?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Seven?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Number seven. Here's a simple question for you. What's taller
the Kingdaka roller coaster we just talked about, or the
Statue of Liberty. I'll give you a picture of the
roller coaster for reference.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Brook visited the Statue of Liberty recently.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I did, is it really that tall statue? I actually
know the exact height, so I'm not gonna lie. I
imagine it being like my size, like a little like
wax figure.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Imagine.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I really should have posted some Insta picks yea, to
have perspective.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'm gonna go. I mean, you really hyped up the
roller coaster, Jake, So I'm gonna go.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
The roller coaster, says King Daka is taller than Lady Liberty. He's,
like I said, four and fifty six feet Lady Liberty. Brook,
I think it's three hundred, three hundred and five feet tall,
but I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Is that with the pedestal ar without.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
I'll never tell Brook. It's your turn. Seven's off the board.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay, I'm gonna go five five Brook.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
What's taller the faces on Mount Rushmore or the Hollywood Sign?
Just to be clear, not how high up the mountain
of hills, just how high the faces are them?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are we talking chin to top of the forehead crown?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I mean that Lincoln face looks pretty.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Long, a long face.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
But I've never been to Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I've been to the Hollywood Sign many times, but I've
I've been told that, like when you go, it's really cool, but.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's not as big as you would expect it to be.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
I can imagine that, but it's still the side of
a mountain. I know.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I'm gonna stick with Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Brooks says the faces on Mount Rushmore are taller than
the Hollywood Sign. Letters emailed it. The faces are sixty
feet tall. The Hollywood Sign is just forty five feet. Still,
that's crazy. We're two for two, Jose. Five and seven
are off the board. All right, let's go eight, Jose,
what's taller the space needle moves or a giraffe wearing

(05:46):
sixty five top hats? If you're wondering the size of
a single top hat, Jose, I'm not gonna tell you.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm gonna write it down pretty big.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Actually, I might have some insight into the top hat
real of course, because I did use a top hat
once to compare for like size things, and I can
tell you that the top hat is usually around five inches.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
That's a really short top hat.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, no, that's that's what a standard top hat is.
Five inch you're thinking of like.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
A stove pipe hat.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
A stove pipe had is the one that goes like really,
which I was very disappointed in the comparison thing the.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Stove pipe hats on hands.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
What else do you compare with. I'm gonna say that
that's the space needles barely taller, Jake.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Jose says, the space needle eastern. The space needle is
six hundred and five feet tall. A draft wearing sixty
five top hats Jeffery's read approximately five six inches tall,
way less than six hundred.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Those are kind of the math problems we should put
in schools.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, we're three for three, Jeffrey. We're talking about what
things are taller, and it's your turn.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Give me eleven.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
What's taller? A stack of every iPhone ever made is
possibly one hundred and fifty million, or the Washington Monument.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Wow, one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Phone one hundred and fifty million flat iPhones on top
of each other.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Dude, I may tell you the Washington Monument when it
was built was like the highest thing in the United States.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Man.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I mean, I don't have any logic. I'm just gonna
throw out the Washington Monument as a guest.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, says the Washington Monument. That is correct. The Washington
Monument five hundred and fifty five feet. The iPhone stack
is around four hundred feet. Wid you guys know your
tall things. That means I have lost today's edition of
They of twenty.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
What's taller digital? Jake's with a shot collar without.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Let's find out, because he's gonna get shocked while saying
in danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yes, lyrics, revving up your engine. Listen to her howl
and rule intention begging you to touch and go. Wait
to the danger zone. It's good to get shocked right
after a hospital.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Stay right, Yeah, you enjoy that, Jake.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
That's your shock colic question of the day.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
We're going to do a phone tap coming up right
after this, Brooke

Speaker 2 (08:20):
And Jeffrey in the morning.
