Speaker 1 (14:35):

Speaker 2 (14:40):
But America's like holding my beer.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
That I went to the College of Santa Fe and
I went there from Colorado. Everyone in Colorado knows about
New Mexico, so is a non issue here. That I
had friends coming from like New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and Connecticut,
and the questions they got when they said that they
were going to college in New Mexico. People were like, Oh,

(15:04):
did you need to get a passport for that? Oh
did you need a visa? Like people did not know
that New Mexico was part of the US. So you
learn something sad every day. And that's it for the
regular rounds, which means it's time for the Big Bang round.

(15:32):
The category for this week's Big Bang round is Food
and Drink. We'll give you three clue questions that are
all hints to one final question. The clue questions may
not be in the same category. Question one, Which nocturnal

(15:54):

tea with an earthy flavor and aroma that is similar
to tobacco that's been gaining popularity since the two thousands.

two White House Correspondent's Dinner.

and Drink. What is the only continent where coffee grows naturally?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Now? The answers to the Big Bang questions? Question one,
Which nocturnal mammal that's sup on ants and termites is
the first animal in the Dictionary? Oddvark?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Question two, which plants leaves make a caffeine free herbal

to tobacco that has been gaining popularity since the two thousands. Rubos.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Question three, which former correspondent and satire host hosted the
Grammy Awards for five consecutive years.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Trevor Noah and what is the only continent where coffee
grows naturally? It's the home or native continent of Ardvarks
Rubos and Trevor Noah, it's Africa.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, I think if you ask
someone that question without the clue questions, you'd automatically think
South America or Africa, because South America has just been like,
we love coffee, but they brought it over see.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I would have thought South America or Asia. Oh yeah,
Africa was probably third on my.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
List, but Antarctica straight.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Out right out Europe, si Ya, Sia.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
North America wouldn't want to.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Be uh, New Mexico. You're not a con although Americans
think you might be.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah. But it is funny because Trevor Noah, if you
don't know who he is, he's a comedian. He hosted
The Daily Show. And David and I watched UK basketball
games and there's a player on there called Trent Noah,
and boy is he being called Trevor Noah a lot,

(18:57):
and yeah varks beauty.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Pies, they're like armadillo pigs.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah they have like pig snouts and roy bos r.
It's been a popular tea in Africa for a long time.
So when I say gain popularity in the two thousands,
it's a gained popularity internationally. It's more common now in

(19:28):
the US and stuff like that. I hope you guys
got that one. We know that sometimes our big bangs
are a little on the tricky side. People are like
love the show, never get the big bangs. So hopefully
you guys got that one. But if you didn't, that's okay.
Dean says a nice thing where he goes, I either
do well or I learned something. I think that's a

(19:50):
good attitude for trivia. So we should all be more
like Dean.
