of coastline versus Alaska, which has thirty three thousand, nine

(05:46):
hundred and four miles or fifty four thousand, five hundred
and sixty three kilometers.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
And that's because it's Old Alaska. New Alaska will only

New Hampshire's very tiny. It's like squeezing right in next

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I think question seven. Ukeetsu, the mysterious Japanese author and
YouTube star, has had two popular books released that start
with the word strange name, both of them five points each. Well,
there's strange pictures and strange houses. Strange Buildings is coming

don't see his face, and he uses a voice changer.
So it's this high. So it's a woman, No, he's
it's a man. But the voice sounds like a woman
because of a voice modulator or is it. Well, yeah,

This disco queen works hard for the money to get

(10:21):

answers to Round three Question nine. Daniel Peter was able

(12:32):
from Oar Mikes.

which character on the cover of the board game Clue?
Question sixteen. The category is geography. What is the only

And now the answer is to round four? Question thirteen?
Which model has become well known for her over the
top Halloween costumes? One time she was a peacock and

(13:20):
had like twelve other people in her costume water Heidi clue, but.

Speaker 2 (13:26):

Though, Yeah, that was pretty great. Question fourteen. What kind
of leather is described as a soft, pliable, porous preserved

(13:50):
married to Kadakai Turner Lipton, who was the model for
which character on the coverard of the board game Clue? Well,
you had a and three chants of getting it. It
was miss Scarlett. That's fun. It's one that they used
real people.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh, that cover of the board game, like the sixties
version or whatever, is the most perfect casting of characters
you'll see in a long time. Yeah, look it up.
They got them all right.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah. Question sixteen. What is the only sea without any coasts,
meaning it has no land boundaries? Sargasso Sea. So you
might be sitting there or running or I don't know,
cooking your dinner. I don't know what you're doing, and
wondering how do you not have any land boundaries? As well?

(14:42):
The Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is bounded by
the Gulf Stream on the west, the North Atlantic Current
on the north, the Canary Current on the east, and
the North Equatorial Current on the south. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
That particular area was I think a scary place to
traverse when people first started sailing across the Atlantic because
it can be an area of very calm, dead sea,
and so you tend to get stuck, and a lot
of legends of sea monsters out that way.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Is it near the Bermuda Triangle.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, sort of not over top of it, I don't think.
But it's closer than I originally thought it was. I
thought it was up near Greenland, Iceland that area, but
it is like most of the Atlantic Ocean to the
east of the eastern seaboard of the US doesn't go

(15:47):
all the way into the middle. But it's a large area.
It's probably the size of the US South. That's it
for the regular rounds. That means it's time for the
Big Bang Round. The category for this week's Big Bang
Round is Literature. We're going to give you three questions,

(16:11):
the answers of which are all clues to the final question.
Keep in mind the three clue questions may not be
from the same category as the last question. Question one,
although considered one of the most influential directors who only
won one Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for two

(16:33):
thousand and one A Space Odyssey.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Question two. Which English actor has starred in Star Trek generations,
Tank Girl and as Doctor Samuel Loomis and Halloween and
Halloween two?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Question three? What word is defined as behavior involving physical
force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something?

Speaker 1 (17:09):
And Your Big Bang Question again, your category is literature.
Which novel was written with twenty one chapters, but when
published in the US, the final chapter was omitted by
the publisher and the subsequent movie was made on the
US version.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
And now the answers to the Big Bang Round. Question one,
who only won one Academy Award for Best Visual Effects
for two thousand and one A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Question two? Which English actor has starred in Star Trek Generations,
Tank Girl and as doctor Samuel Loomis Malcolm McDowell.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Question three, What word is to find as behavior involving
physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kills someone or something?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Violence and Your Big Bang Question. Which novel was written
with twenty one chapters, but when published in the US,
the final chapter was admitted by the publisher and the
subsequent movie was made on the US version. A film
that was directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Malcolm McDowell

(18:31):
and known for its ultra violence. It is a Clockwork Orange.
I just started reading it because I've never seen the movie,
and I didn't really have much interest in the book
because it seems like it's really violent and graphic. Yeah,
but a friend of mine said, no, I think you'll

(18:52):
be okay, Like it's not that tolerable. Yeah, So we'll see.
We'll see if we're still be friends at the end
of this. But anyway, the intro to the book, the
audiobook that I'm listening to, has a message from Anthony Burgess.
And first of all, he hates the book. I think
that's well known. Oh well, he hates it. He doesn't

(19:15):
think it's a very good work that he did. But
what happened was he wanted to have twenty one chapters
because he thought that that was a significant age of
when you become an adult. And he wrote twenty one chapters,
and the UK version published the book as is in
the US. When he finally got a publisher, the publisher

(19:36):
was like, this last chapter stupid. I'll publish this for you,
but we're cutting it. And so then when Stanley Kubrick
read the book, he read the US version, he didn't
know anything about the twenty first chapter, at least I
don't think he did. And so his movie is based
upon the book with just twenty chapters, because I guess

(19:57):
the twenty first chapter is about the character growing and
changing and so Anthony. I call him Anthony. We're good friends.
He thought the twenty first chapter was important to show
that the character grew up in that a lot of
the behavior in the book is because of youth and

(20:20):
like a misspent youth. Right, But now the American version
is just kind of like, haha, the character didn't change
at all, Lady Dadi Da. So he extra hates the
American version of it. And I don't blame him because
he's just like, well, glad, I wrote a book where
the character doesn't develop at all. So yeah, I feel

(20:43):
bad for him that that was done to him. I've
never heard of that in a book before.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, I've not heard of anything quite like that either.
I don't think I know that. You know a lot
of books that have been adapted into films are kind
of you know, they just don't do a good job
a lot of times of adapting.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, well, I mean, Stephen King famously hates the Shining
that Stanley Kruber did. So even a Stanley Krueberg gread
the English version. You know, you can still make a
movie that's the author might hate.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, and I mean, don't even get me started on
the Dark Tower.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I can't imagine what it'd be like to create something
that's wonderful and then see a mediocre movie made of it.
I'm sure that that's not pleasant, you know, because I
been ouch.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
I was going to say if you if you took
them on Lisa and made a sculpture, it wouldn't be
the same. Yeah, and that's what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Like, but if you turned it into a lego piece
of artwork that you can hang.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
On the word, people should pay to come over and
look at it. Maybe get our house gets broken into
the lego gets still.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
The legal love love Girl Girl.
