(00:03):
Welcome aboard Bus 1. We're on our way to Tribune
Kansas, and we've got some time to kill.
Let's watch the news. News anchors, introduce yourself
alphabetically. Good morning.
Good afternoon. Good evening, fellow listeners.
I'm Calvin, your favorite news host.
(00:27):
Good morning, San Francisco. It's.
Cooper. Hey, guys.
I'm not feeling it this morning.I should have stayed home.
It's Steven. Welcome back to Bus 1 News, the
nation's premier bus only news service.
(00:48):
I'm your showrunner, Drew, and folks, we've got a situation.
We had a full slate of hard hitting journalism lined up for
you today, but Paul, our overzealous intern, accidentally
deleted every single story. Paul.
Deleted the news he. Deleted the news.
(01:10):
I've never liked him. I've never liked him.
Is this recording? So here's the deal.
You're going to be live on air and it's up to you to piece
together the stories from the headlines.
We've got 3 segments, each with five headlines.
Nail the story and earn news anchor points.
(01:33):
The first segment each story will be 1 anchor point, the
second segment each story will be two anchor points, and the
third segment 3 anchor points per correct story.
Now, due to falling ratings, there will be cuts after today's
broadcast. Oh no, only the anchor with the
(01:55):
most points will get to stay on the network.
We're doing this to keep our jobs.
Yeah, why not? You're going to lose.
He's already an unpaid intern. Yeah, he's unpaid.
He's already unpaid, he's being paid an experience can.
We do it anyways. So first to buzz in and answer
correctly, we'll get the points.But a heads up.
(02:17):
Paul tried to help by rewriting one of the answers poorly.
That means one fake answer is hidden in the broadcast.
Each anchor will get one chance to challenge the fake.
If you're right, you earn 3 points.
But if you guessed during the story, it will be worth 6 points
(02:38):
if you get it right. But if you're wrong, you will
lose 3 points, 3 anchor points. And remember, no Googling on the
air. I would never use Google on the
air. At the end, only the top scoring
anchor keeps their job. Good luck.
You alive in 3/2? One make up make up.
(03:00):
Good morning. We are starting out with our
Sports and entertainment section.
Everyone's favorite story #1 Theproclaimed greatest night in the
history of television was March 27th, 2022, when Will Smith
(03:21):
climbed the stage and slapped Chris Rock while he was
presenting the nominees for BestDocumentary Feature at the 94th
Oscars. The winner of the award was
Summer of Soul, a documentary about the 1969 Harlem Cultural
Festival. The documentary featured what
famous drummer. This is multiple choice A Ringo
(03:45):
Starr, B Larnell Lewis, C Questlove, or D Phil Collins
Calvin. Oh man, I recognize some of
those drummers. And as a fellow drummer, I
should probably know this answer.
(04:05):
My gut says Ringo Starr. Ringo Starr is incorrect,
Steven. That's.
My I'm thinking about Questlove.Questlove is correct.
Wow. Questlove is correct, yes.
OK, Steven knows his news. That's why you keep me.
(04:26):
Around baby. Steven, that is 1 anchor .1
anchor point for you. OK, moving on to our second
story of the segment. In 2025, LeBron James's
representation issued a cease and desist over AI generated
images that depicted him in whatsituation?
(04:48):
Again, multiple choice. This is LeBron.
Being raised by wolves. B.
Being pregnant C Getting dunked on by Larry Bird or D Shaking
hands with Vladimir Putin Cooper.
Yo, it's got to be Larry Bird. It's got to be the Larry Bird
one. Getting dunked on by Larry Bird
(05:10):
is incorrect, Stephen. I think I remember the story.
I think it was because he was depicted pregnant.
Being pregnant is correct. They were making AI generated
images of him being pregnant andhe.
(05:32):
Come on, his representation. Recently issued A cease and
desist letter over those. Images Lebron's afraid of being
a little bit pregnant. I guess I guess OK.
Another another anchor point forSteven story #3 at the 2015
MTVVMAS, which hip hop artist confronted host Miley Cyrus Live
(05:57):
after being criticized for calling out the show's snub of
her popular music video that year, Calvin.
I don't know why I buzzed in because I know this is so wrong.
Did. You think it was going to be the
Taylor Swift 1? Yeah.
I thought it was going to be Kanye West, and that was with
Taylor Swift, not Miley Cyrus, so I'll lock in Kanye West.
(06:20):
He did it. Again, he did it again.
Incorrect. Wow.
They can't get him off the stage.
Anybody else? Anybody else?
So why was it again? Can you see that again?
Yeah, yeah. At the 2015 MTV VMA's, which hip
hop artists confronted host Miley Cyrus Live after being
criticized for calling out the show's snub of her popular music
(06:44):
video that year? So she said she got snubbed,
people criticized her for it, and then she clapped back on
live television. I'm thinking this is some Nicki
(07:05):
stuff, you know, this is the bar.
That does sound like Nicki. Is that that's your answer.
That's what I'm locking in. You are correct, it is Nicki
Minaj. You said Nicki and I said that.
That's her. Yep, that is Nicki Minaj.
There's a famous clip where she's like Miley, what's good
and she's like literally has an MTV award in her hand.
(07:27):
Omika. Yeah, OK, another another point
for for Steven. Moving on to story #4 during a
2004 Saturday Night Live performance, singer Ashley
Simpson was supposed to perform her hit song Autobiography.
However, the wrong song started playing, exposing her for lip
(07:50):
syncing. She awkwardly tried to recover
by doing what, dance move? And this is like Charlie Chaplin
rules, so yeah. What?
What year was this? This was 2004, Calvin.
I think obviously the only answer is the Macarena.
The Macarena. OK, Cooper. 2004, that's pretty
(08:13):
good. I was thinking the Dougie.
The Dougie. OK, gotcha.
And Steven? I was thinking the exact same
thing. The Dougie.
The Macarena Dougie. The Dougie.
Gosh, how do how do I give this to someone?
It's a 2000. Four dance move.
It is not a 2004 dance move. Is it the moonwalk?
(08:37):
No, just. Keep going.
The sprinkler. I think I'm gonna just give it
to Calvin, I guess Steven said the same thing.
She did a jig. She did a little jig.
(08:59):
Yeah, she did a little jig. She like sort of did the like 1
where you like your arms go up here and you like kick your legs
out. She did a little jig.
True. I'm not totally clear on what
that dance move is. Will you like?
Yeah. Step back.
I know a thing or two, let's just say.
That I might be. I might be exposed in that I'm
only wearing. Are you not?
(09:22):
Wearing waist down. Hold on, hold on.
Let me this. Broadcast is going up.
You're on. Air.
For any audience members just listening at home that don't
have the video. Drew, I don't have to worry
about my job. I run the show.
Drew was wearing. Nothing below the waist he was
(09:43):
wearing. Nothing.
That's awesome. I OK, So yeah, in 2004, should
they play the wrong song to Ashley Simpson?
And she was exposed that she wasjust going to lip sync the song.
And so while the wrong song is playing, it's a very slow song.
(10:06):
She does a little jig. Very slow.
That's so amazing. Yeah, and it that that
appearance ruined her music career.
She never had a successful album.
Wow, that's what did it. So yeah.
OK, OK, that was a good one. That was a good one.
Moving on to story #5 the last story in this segment.
(10:26):
Story #5 The Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines in 2021
by accidentally uploading their draft strategy.
Before the draft occurred, they exposed their grades for many
prospective picks in the upcoming draft.
How many total picks were in the2021 NFL Draft?
(10:47):
Closest wins. Steven.
If closest wins, I'm thinking 5.Wow, 552 just total picks.
No, he said his thing. He said his thing.
I said it OK, OK. I think he's going for closest,
just the Jaguars. Goes for close.
Overshoot so hard, yeah. It's not, it's not, it's not.
(11:12):
Price is right, though it is closest.
Yeah, it's just closest wins. I said what I said I'm.
Mocking it. OK, He's sticking to it.
OK, Cooper. I'll go 108. 108 Calvin.
OK. So I know that there's I think
32 teams in the NFL and I want to say there's 8 rounds in the
(11:33):
draft. So I think Steven and Cooper are
way off. Like 2.
But now I have to do the complicated math and figure out
what the hell is 32 * 8. It's.
OK. Just do higher than Cooper.
It sounds like you can just approximate and get closer.
(11:54):
I'm a do 30 * 8 because that makes more sense. 8 * 30 is 240.
240 is your answer. Locking it in OK.
Locked in. This will go to Calvin.
The correct answer is 259. You're pretty close.
(12:15):
So yes, there are 32 NFL teams. There are 7 rounds of the draft
and then there are a number of compensory picks that teams are
owed either in like weird trade stuff or something like that.
So there was, yeah, there was 35compensory picks in that draft,
(12:36):
bringing us up to 259 total picks.
I'm on the board, baby. Yes.
OK, so that point goes to Calvin.
Oh, I got the Yeah, you're right, I'm on the board again.
I've been on the board. OK.
So we're going to cut for commercial in 321.
OK, we're off the air. Wow, this is the air.
(12:56):
This isn't on the air, right? This is not on the air, isn't
doing. Recorded good.
We're on a commercial break, commercial break right now,
Steven. Put that away.
Drew, this would be a great timeto, you know, stand in front of
the camera and show off your junk.
My junk. Yeah, we're not.
To do is that you're flashing the camera.
(13:17):
I'm free to do that, but we haveother things to attend to, like
your your perspective, losing ofyour job.
Let's do an anchor point check. How are we doing?
Start with Calvin. I'm sitting pretty with two
points, 2 points. 2 anchor points.
Yes, Cooper, I mean. 0 anchor points. 0 anchor points.
(13:39):
OK. And Steven?
Yeah, I'm, I'm sitting pretty at3 anchor points. 3 anchor
points. OK.
Well, we will be right back on air after the audience question.

so we severe weather updates because it's important to be
alerted. Which of the following U.S.
states had their emergency alertsystem hijacked in February 2013
(16:06):
to broadcast a false warning about a zombie invasion?
This multiple choice A Florida, B Montana, C Hawaii or D Nevada.
Calvin this just screams. Are you guys all familiar with
Florida Man? Like yes and yeah, his reign as
(16:30):
a new person. Let me just say.
Yes. This screams Florida to me, so
I'm going to lock in Florida. Florida is incorrect.
Incorrect. Steven, are you?
Spreading fake news Calvin, are you spreading alternative facts?
Look at this guy, huh? Look at this guy.
(16:52):
Yeah, you guys seen this? Are you capturing this?
You're pointing at me on this. Broadcasting a lot there.
You go. If you point any direction,
you'll figure it out eventually.I guess.
This. Is like those Tik Toks where
they're like the text is showingup.
Yeah, yeah, it's like 2020. Steven, Steven, what do you
(17:13):
think the answer is? See, I remember the incident
where Hawaii, there was the false nuclear alarm.
So I'm thinking it's just reallyeasy to hijack whatever Hawaii's
doing, so I'm going Hawaii. Hawaii is incorrect, so Cooper 2
answers left. It's down, but you're between
Montana and Nevada. OK, OK, my gut was telling me
(17:36):
Montana. Montana is correct.
Montana is correct, that is. Worker points on the.
Worker points. 2 anchor points. OK, moving on to question.
Sorry story #7 One of the most nightmarish weather events is a
(18:00):
fire whirl, otherwise known as afire tornado.
The deadliest known fire whirl occurred in the 1920s.
In which city? Also multiple choice A Tokyo,
Japan, B Oklahoma City, OK C Lisbon, Portugal or D Melbourne,
Australia. Calvin, you buzzed in first.
(18:21):
Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City, OK, that is
incorrect, no. I don't feel.
OK, that's crazy. Steven, I'm thinking Melbourne,
Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is incorrect.
So it was between Tokyo and whatelse?
(18:44):
And Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon, Portugal.
I don't think Tokyo has Tornadoes.
I'm going to go Lisbon. Lisbon, Portugal is incorrect.
You're telling me Tokyo has firetornadoes?
Yes, sometimes. Sometimes they do.
(19:04):
Yeah, in 1923, Calvin's raising his hand.
I didn't know you could do that.I'm.
Feeling a little suspicious? So suspicious.
I I think I'm going to officially declare this is fake.
News. OK, fake news.
(19:25):
You think Paul wrote the wrong answer for this one?
Paul. Paul would do this.
Paul the overzealous intern. This is so Paul.
I don't trust them at all. Okay.
It feels like bait, but I have to do it.
Okay, official challenge unfortunately on hands off.
Unfortunately, Paul did not get his grubby little hands on this
(19:47):
question. Read a story.
Can I just want to talk to Paul?Real quick.
We can talk to him after the broadcast.
We can talk to him after the broadcast.
OK, the correct answer is Tokyo,Tokyo, Japan.
In 1923 they had a fire world that killed a couple 1000
(20:08):
people. What a fire Tornado I.
Didn't even I thought the whole thing was that.
Tornadoes are his hands on this.I thought the whole thing was
that like, tornadoes are pretty much just like a North American
thing. I don't know, maybe it was a a
mix of like a tropical storm type of thing, but it was
considered a fire. Not a tornado.
(20:28):
Well, it was considered a fire whirl.
Is it a dragon? It might.
It might have been a dragon, yeah.
Fire might have been a dragon Pokémon move.
And. Pokémon like that originated in
Japan, right? Or at least.
Making that up. I think so maybe, or maybe it
was Portugal, I don't know. I mixed the 2.
Elizabeth, Portugal. No, I.
(20:50):
I don't know guys, I could have.Been this is a bus.
This is a bus news podcast. I only know about buses, so
exactly. I don't know.
Well, Drew, important question. I lose 3 points for that right?
Yes. But if I only had two points, am
I at 0 or do I go down to negative?
You can't. You can't go negative.
(21:12):
You can't go negative and. Bless your soul.
All right? I'm.
Still in the game, you go negative, you instantly you're
kicked out of the bus. He's not in debt.
Yeah, you are not in anchor point debt.
You cannot go negative. OK, on to question 8 or story 8.
Our meteorologists at Bus 1 Newsare top notch.
(21:34):
One of their main tools they useis to measure atmospheric
pressure is a barometer. What century was a barometer
invented? Oh man.
Calvin. Oh my goodness, Drew, why you
got to make it so hard. Man, I'm sorry, I I know.
So many centuries to choose. The unit for the barometer and
(21:57):
it's millimeters of mercury and mercury was, I'm going to say it
was, Oh my gosh, 15th century. 15th century is when it was
invented. Yep, is incorrect.
Oh, Steven, I'm thinking, sorry,I'm thinking earlier than that.
(22:21):
I'm thinking earlier than that 14th century. 14th century.
Maybe we could. Let's see what all the guesses
are and I'll see if all award points for closest.
OK, Cooper. I mean, a barometer isn't that
complex, you know, It's just like, you know, having like a
known volume and then you use the liquid level to compare
(22:47):
against. Yeah, whatever, nerd.
Whatever, nerd. Yeah, you said 13th century, but
that seemed. Pretty.
I believe the guesses were 14th and 15th century. 14 and 15th.
So 13 hundreds. 13 hundreds is like bubonic plague.
They weren't barometing back then.
(23:09):
So you think it was later or earlier?
It's. I'll say it 16th, 16th century.
I'll say it. It was the 17th century, 1643.
So almost 18th. 43 I don't know if that's almost.
Oh, I thought you said like 90 something.
(23:30):
OK. Oh no, 1643.
Oh, then that's so close to 15thor the 16th, whatever I said.
I don't think I'm gonna give theclosest win.
What if I would have given you the?
The. Year.
If you could have guessed the year, maybe.
But you were literally like, like if you could have guessed
(23:52):
the year. Yeah, I know.
But if I had asked you to guess the year, it would have been
close. OK.
I'll guess the year now, 1643. OK, OK.
Unfortunately, Calvin actually buzzed first.
So no, we're just, we're just going to move past that one.
It's OK. I won't forget this there's.
So much there's so much fake news now that.
(24:14):
We end up working together longer because I keep the job
that it's going to get a little dicey, you know, we're going to
have a little bit of friction. OK, OK, OK.
We are live on the air. We are live on the air.
And that's a true. Threat for this guy.
You see this guy up there top? 10 scariest news moments of all
(24:37):
time. Have you have you seen the one,
the one news clip of like the anchor and the guy out and like
the anchor was like ask her another question and the guy
that's like doing the field reporting is like why?
And they like get into like an argument why?
I was like, that's funny. Do you want to let me just do my
(24:57):
job? I haven't seen that.
Video that's. Crazy.
That's what's happening right now.
I'm I'm at the studio and you'rethe weather correspondent.
Why? I'm an anchor.
Thank you. OK, we're gonna move on.
Story #9 hopefully we will fare better on this one.
It is multiple choice. Thank God.
There's a 0% of rain or 0 percent chance of rain today
(25:21):
inside of Bus 1. It's like a desert.
Speaking of which, a desert is considered an area.
With extremely low rates, so Kelvin already buzzed in.
Kelvin already buzzed in. Kelvin.
What's the answer? He knows it.
Oh. You're probably the.
OK, go ahead the answer I'm gonna.
Say less than 10 inches of rain a year.
(25:41):
Is that the answer? He did.
That is not the answer. I will.
I will if if we get around to it, if we get around to it, I
might let you guess later, but. Yeah, Cooper and Steven get it
from here. There was there was quite a bit
more to the question. Oh no, he was really taking us
on a journey with Extremely. Low rates of precipitation.
(26:03):
Some know that Antarctica is thelargest desert in the world
technically by landmass, followed by the Arctic and the
Sahara Desert. Which of the following countries
contain a part of the 4th largest desert in the world?
I'm going to Cooper. Do you want the the multiple
choice or no? Okay.
Can you top three again? Just so I make sure, the 4th one
(26:26):
I'm thinking of is. That's right.
So no, no, no, he. Said you said the three deserts
and then the I. Think, he said.
Arctic, Antarctic and Sahara, Yeah.
And the question is, which of the following countries contain
a part of the 4th largest desertin the world?
So it's not what is the 4th largest desert in the world.
Yeah, but I know the country that has most of the desert.
(26:48):
Oh, OK, so I was just gonna guess Mongolia.
Do you want to hear the rest of the answers?
He busted. He busted.
The same mistake as me, he doesn't.
Give the hero. Steven.
It's up to Steven. Mongolia is incorrect, Steven.
Well, let's hear. It's up to you, the four.
To you, the four. I you're offering it.
(27:09):
I guess is this OK? This is the luxury I get for
being the last person the. Worst new segment ever thought.
You started. It was multiple choices at the
top. I'm doing a good job.
OK, So you look at me like that.We would be, we would be, we
would be so impressive to everybody if we got it without
(27:29):
the multiple choice. Yes, you're right, You're right.
OK. The options are a Chile, B Saudi
Arabia, C Australia and D China.I'm thinking.
I'm thinking China. D China.
(27:51):
It's got a little piece of that.Is incorrect.
I think we're going to Yeah. I, I can we give Calvin another
shot? I'll give Calvin another shot if
they if they can do it. And then Steven?
News anchor Calvin reporting with the latest.
(28:12):
The answer to this question, I think, is Chile.
Chile is incorrect. Cooper Cooper, what's news?
Incredible. What is your answer?
Incredible. So you said it's either
Australia or Saudi Arabia. Yes.
OK. My biggest question is would you
(28:33):
call Australia desert? I don't know.
I'll go ahead. Australia.
Australia is incorrect. Steven.
Was. 1st to say it. No, nobody gets this one,
unfortunately. We should all we should all get
(28:58):
fired. Yeah, this is all.
So the the 4th largest desert inthe world right after the Sahara
is the Arabian desert. I think you were actually right.
Makes sense? Maybe Mongolia Let me actually
look that I I can Google. How big is the Gobi Desert?
The Gobi. Desert is fifth.
It's it's right after but China will have been the Gobi desert
(29:21):
answer. So Australia isn't technically a
desert. I believe actually just like I
guess most of Australia maybe isdesert, but I don't think in
terms of land mass it is the biggest by land, by land mass, I
promise you. I think the biggest is the
Arabian Desert I. Was thinking the gobies.
(29:42):
So how big? I think that's big news.
Is. You do.
How big is the BofA Desert? Deez Nuts.
Steven, do you want to answer that one?
Get em, get em. OK?
Did you hear what it says? I think that might be fake news.
Would you like to challenge Cooper?
(30:03):
I think I might. We're laying it all out there.
OK. If I had to just.
Put in the challenge. I would challenge it too.
Hands in. OK, it's official.
The challenge is official. It's tangential.
Stephen, are you challenging? Stephen, are you challenging?
Are you just supporting? I'm I'm just supporting
emotional support because he's about to lose his job, but go
(30:24):
ahead. I appreciate it.
Unfortunately, Stephen may be right.
Saudi Arabia is the correct answer.
The Arabian Desert is the 4th largest desert in the world,
followed by the Gobi Desert. We cheated the system again by
not going negative. How am I still in the lead that
(30:47):
I haven't gotten any question right yet?
You've gotten 3, right? Yeah, you got 3.
Right, I guess this round, that's what.
I mean, this round, yeah. Moving on.
Next time to story #10 story #10OK.
The only thing worse than real weather events are made-up
weather events. The Sharknado franchise are made
(31:10):
for TV movies released from 2013to 2018 about, you guessed it,
shark tornadoes. What method do the characters
most frequently use to stop the Sharknadoes?
This is also multiple choice A enacting an ancient ritual B
(31:33):
detonating bombs inside the storms C freezing them with
nitrogen D dumping salt into thestorms of.
Course. Calvin.
Pretty sure the only way you caneffectively treat a Sharknado is
if you bomb the shit. Out of the science, I'm watching
(31:54):
the. Science.
I've heard that before, yeah. Detonating bombs inside the
storms, Yep, is incorrect. Why do you do this to me?
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
But that is scientifically accurate.
Wouldn't stop a Sharknado. Hey, you can challenge.
Oh no, you can't. Cooper, what do you think the
(32:21):
answer is? So I've never seen Sharknado,
nor have I seen a Sharknado. You.
Haven't seen any of the six sharknadoes.
Do they stop at the same way every time?
No, but this is what they do most frequently, especially in
the earlier movies. So I don't think it's.
Because salt is something that'srepeated, yeah.
(32:42):
So there was. Ancient ritual freezing them
with nitrogen or dumping salt into the storm.
Or you can throw a bomb in the middle if you really.
Would probably help, right? I thought they used chainsaws,
Is that not like the solution? It's just not the most frequent.
OK, it does help though. I do think they had some
(33:03):
chainsaws. I'll go ancient ritual.
Enacting an ancient ritual as incorrect, Steven.
So they're either freezing them or dumping salt on them.
Yes, yes. That's a ridiculous.
Kind of would work in oppositionto each other.
Yeah. That makes sense.
Don't do both, Whatever. You do.
Don't do nitrogen. Yeah, I don't see, I think, I
(33:28):
really think they're going for the liquid nitrogen because
that's like high class and that is befitting of a Sharknado
movie. You got to get a lot of liquid
nitrogen to freeze a tornado. Listen and the the Sharknado
universe, liquid nitrogen is plentiful.
So freeze them with nitrogen. Oh yeah, big time.
Freeze them with nitrogen is incorrect.
(33:50):
There's always salt. There's way.
Yeah, they dump. They dump like industrial loads
of salt in there and it burns the sharks so they're not able.
To I get OK, I guess that makes sense yeah, but they.
Live in salt water. But you don't want the
concentration too high. Yeah.
That's true. That's true.
I, I don't, I like, I can't vouch for Sharknado necessarily.
(34:14):
So I just can't. Handle being thrown around in a
tornado, but they can't handle that salty water.
Yes. Maybe they're freshwater sharks.
Maybe they're like great lake sharks.
Yeah, but. Maybe they're tornado sharks.
That wraps up. That wraps up.
Can't handle the ocean. That wraps up our second
(34:34):
segment. So we'll be right back after a
quick break. We'll cut for commercial.
What commercial are we doing now?
Sponsored by the Gerber Life Foundation.
It's Salt Bay throwing salt at the sharks.
Throwing sharks? Yeah, that would be a good one.
OK, let's do another anchor point check.
(34:56):
Where are we at on our anchor points?
Oh no, I'm down bad. I'm down real bad.
I've got 0 points. Zero points.
I'm so sorry to hear. Baby.
Google at 0. I somehow I somehow have 3
still. OK, Steven still has Stevens.
Drinking when the when the cameras go off.
(35:16):
Yeah, I have a frog bottle. I have a problem.
And somehow he might still get to keep his job.
He's drinking in between being on air and no fair.
There's probably answers in thatbottle.
He's there's a there's a genie. There's a genie in.
The I guess I should say, Steven, you're not going to find
any answers in that bottle. There's no answers at the bottom
(35:40):
of the bottle, Steven, You got to lay off it.
Your family wants. Your family loves the you.
They want to see you again. But I'm so lame when I don't
drink. I thought it was like ratings
and fun. Yeah, the ratings have never
been higher. The ratings.
Yeah, when you did dry January, the ratings fell so hard.
(36:01):
Yeah, when I did thirsty every other month of the year, oh boy,
the ratings couldn't be better. Is that why you're keeping your
job? Because you're doing thirst
traps over here. Some form of it.
Yeah. Thirsty, Steven.
I guess I'm enabling you by by making you drink on the job.
(36:22):
You know, making you have to drink more.
Wait, oh, breaking. News, Hold on, I'm getting
something. OK, yes, OK, OK, this just in,
we have some breaking news. There's one last segment, the
(36:43):
breaking news segment. Oh my.
Gosh, whoa. Story story #11 story #11 When
Arthur Wheeler robbed 2 banks inPittsburgh in 1995, what did he
I'll fatedly think would hide his identity?
Multiple choice A A masquerade mask, BA Clear plastic bag C
(37:10):
Lemon juice or DA fake mustache Calvin.
I don't know if the miscue with lemon juice was a clue or not,
but that sounds awfully SUS so I'm going to say I don't.
Know how that even? Works.
You're going to say lemon juice?Yep, lemon juice is correct.
How does that? Even work.
(37:32):
So it makes you invisible. How did he think it worked?
This guy and his friend, they know like oh you can write with
lemon juice and it's invisible ink or whatever.
They thought that worked with your face and security cameras.
I love that. So they went in and robbed 2
banks and were immediately discovered and arrested.
(37:54):
I fully believe so. Yeah, hey, they used the
scientific method. They didn't.
They had a hypothesis and they tested it.
They tested it? Really.
Can't. Fault them for that, and that's
what we're all about here. I say freedom.
So true. These questions, these stories
are worth 3 anchor points. So 3 anchor points to Calvin.
It is. It is anyone's game.
(38:14):
We're tied up. Suddenly, he's tied with Steven.
Who's going to keep their job? OK.
Oh, I'm going to lose my job. Breaking news segment Second
story Total story #12. Steven, we're on the air.

Americans, the online Reddit community R slash Wall Street
Bets was investigated by the SECafter it played a key role in
the 2021 stock market frenzy around what stock Cooper.
GameStop. GameStop.
(39:00):
GameStop is correct, so I believe we are.

us. Steven is becoming more and more
belligerent as we speak. Stevie.

(40:08):
news, what country declared a national emergency in 2023 due
to an invasion of aggressive swimming crabs?
This is multiple choice. Oh my gosh.
Australia, a Australia B Italy, C Chile or D Canada, Calvin.
(40:29):
I know Chile did me wrong. Previously, no way it does it
again. No way, my heart can only be
broken so many times. So please.
Is it Chile? Is it Chile?
It is not Chile. Chile, You know, Drew had Chile
(40:50):
on the mind when he was making this episode.
Yeah, I mean the news. Guys want to get dinner?
I mean, we can go get new. Lease.
The news. OK, Chili's Cooper.
I had AI had a gut feeling toward Italy because of crab
rave. So Italy.
Italy because of. Crab Rave is correct.
(41:12):
Dental. Dental.
Dental. Why is it not?
I don't. Think it was because of crab
rave. I think it was because a large
species of swimming crab infested the northern Italy, the
PO River in northern Italy. So they got in the river and
they went downstream and took over, took over quite a bit.
(41:35):
Never trusted? Crab raved.
They, I think they spent like €3million trying to get them out.
So it was a big problem for Italy in 2023.
Breaking news Big problem in 2023.
Yeah, this is these are the, it's breaking.
We got to it a little bit late. Like this is people's drive to
(41:56):
work. They don't want to hear about
the brand new stuff. Yeah, of course that's, I mean,
that's not what breaking news isfor.
Yes, we're, well, we're, we're still breaking it.
We're just breaking it. We're doing reruns.
It's it's been broken into like little, little pieces we're
grinding into a fine dust. This is part of the budget cuts.
We have to do reruns. We can't do 24/7 anymore.
(42:19):
We're doing breaking news reruns.
Okay, okay, moving on to story #14 a little bit of older news
even than 2023. Exposed in 2019, the Varsity
Blues scandal involved many celebrity and wealthy parents
(42:40):
bribing college admissions to accept their children into
universities such as USC, Yale, Stanford, and Georgetown, among
others. One of these celebrity parents
was Lori Loughlin, best known for her role as Rebecca
Katsopolis on the sitcom Full House, the plot of which centers
on the Tanner family. Are we doing a full house
(43:04):
question now we're. Doing a full house question now.
Breaking News Name 2. Members of the Tanner family.
If you can't name two members ofthe Tanner family, we could do
one, but I think you can do 2, Cooper.
DJ Stephanie, do you want me to go more if I have one You.
Can go more if you'd like. Danny the baby.
(43:26):
Whatever the baby. 1 that is. Correct.
That is correct. Ashley Olsen.
But that's the that's the actresses names.
What is the baby's name? Michelle so it's Danny.
Michelle, Stephanie and DJ are members of the Tanner family, so
(43:47):
that was a a long workaround to just ask a full.
Day question. I'm losing my job to a full
house question. Are you serious?
They're not even on our network.Who cares if you can do like the
board and stuff on on election night if you don't know your
your full house. If you I guess that's what.
America wants. A full house.
(44:09):
Yeah, I guess that's what America desires.
Sure. OK.
If that's what they want, I don't even want to be in the
news anymore. We are on to the last The last
Story of the Night story #15 In 2024, a viral TikTok trend led
to led to a wave of suspicious transactions at Chase Bank,
(44:32):
leading many customers to unknowingly commit.
What type of financial crime is also a multiple choice?
A identity theft. B Money laundering, C wire fraud
or D check fraud Cooper. I think it was check fraud.
(44:53):
The correct answer is check fraud.
What what the TikTok trend was telling people to do was it was
telling them to write a check. Nice evening, see look at my
stop first. Steven has left the air.
Steven, yes, Steven walked off the set.
(45:15):
It's off the bus. He just walked out into oncoming
traffic. With the challenge question.
He's back. So bad I have a chance.
Yeah, so they committed check fraud by writing blank checks to
themselves and pulling out moneyfrom ATM machines.
(45:35):
And then they were committing check fraud, so they but it.
Was but it was a TikTok TikTok hack.
Yeah, and it. Sounds like a free.
So it must have been, it must have been true, but
unfortunately there. Are some of them touched?
This question, but that was fakenews on TikTok.
On TikTok, it was fake news. Fake news.
Let's do we just finished up ourbreaking news segment.
(45:57):
Let's do an anchor point check currently, so start with Calvin.
Yep, I'm still sitting with I think 3 points.
Three points. Gotcha. 12 points now, 12 points
comparison. Very good round and Steven.
Three points, yeah. Three points.
(46:21):
She had. Such a hot challenge question.
Steven, the challenge, the challenge question.
OK. So, Steven, yeah, last challenge
opportunity, would you like to hear any of the questions again?
You won't find you won't find the challenge question at the
bottom of that bottle, Steven. No, I don't care.
(46:41):
See. OK, here's my thought process.
So we can eliminate 2 because weknow it's not the Gobi Desert as
the third largest. So that was the desert, right?
Correct. The bands it.
Geez, what was the other one? I don't.
Know if I can remind you I. I don't even care.
(47:04):
So you wouldn't do the draft? Thing because.
That would just be rude. I remember the GameStop thing,
so that's definitely true. We're getting closer here, OK?
You're whittling it down. Yeah, like a one in 10 right
now. I like those odds.
Yeah, the first three I got right, so obviously I can't be
(47:26):
wrong. So that's like three of those,
though. Gotta prove my worth, man.
You know, I'm thinking it is thedraft.
The draft. That would be so stupid.
But yeah, Paul would fudge the numbers.
That would be a Paul thing to do.
Paul would. He's never been good with
numbers. No, you're saying that like it's
(47:47):
like I'm wrong actually. No, no, no, no, no.
I just want you to. Are you locked in it in?
Paul is dyslexic and also useless.
That's got to be him. You're locking it in if.
Not I'm sleeping under a bridge tonight, so go ahead.
OK. He's all or nothing with.
This at least let him sleep on the bus guys.
Can I sleep in my cubicle tonight?
(48:08):
The correct amount of total picks in the 2021 NFL Draft is
259. Paul did not fudge the numbers
on that one. He got that right.
Well, you get wrong. He got.
That, well, he actually just didn't touch that one.
He gets anything he touches wrong.
Yeah, that's true. That's definitely true.
But. Really going in on Paul.
(48:30):
Every everyone. Well, he did delete the entire
news, so we get a little bit we can sort of mess with them the.
Only news we had was from 20/19.Yes, exactly.
That's why breaking news is gone.
The real challenge question was a Sharknado question it.
Was freezing. Really.
(48:51):
No, it was. I felt so bad for Calvin because
he had just used his challenge before.
It was detonating bombs inside the storms.
I knew it would work. I knew it would work.
Yeah, scientifically proven to be 100% effective, folks.
Anytime you got a storm, just truck some dynamite in there and
problem solved. And I bet they use the same
(49:13):
explosion like Salent, like stock like effect every time.
Yeah. Yeah, that's why they did it.
I knew OK, more salt on salt water sharks didn't make sense.
No, that totally checked out. That's why I believed.
Him well as Paul fired like I just want to make sure he's
getting. Him out of here, Yeah, as.
Long as he's gone, I think. He's been relegated to just
getting everyone coffee. He's just on coffee runs.
(49:36):
Better than me, he doesn't. Get paid.
He doesn't get paid. I do what I do well.
I'm. Telling you riddles, I'm asking
you riddles. I'm under the bridge.
How much do I have to drink to get my job back?
Well, you don't know if you've lost your job yet because we
still need to do a final anchor check.
(49:58):
Yeah. I guess 0.
OK, So Steven is at 0. We don't know is the highest
yet. We don't know if that's the
highest or not it. Could be there could be a higher
number. I finished with.
Three points. Three points for Calvin and
Cooper. And I finished with 12.
(50:20):
Congrats to Cooper, you get to keep your job on the network.
As for the other two of you, I want your anchor desk clear by
the end of the day. He did this last night too.
He did this last night. Is just Stevens bit now.
Is just like punching the screenand walking out.
