Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to You Should Know Better with Mike C. Yelson,
the guy who won't shut up about winning three times
on Jeopardy.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to you Should Know Better, the trivia podcast that
tests your knowledge and a little bit of your patience.
Our goal here is to celebrate the theme of continuing education.
We should always be learning and always be on the
prowl to know better. Now we will meet our sensational
guests and hear all about what fabulous causes they are

(00:36):
playing for, and shortly crown one of them the smartest
person in the world for one week. But as for
right now, let's jump right into some questions and answers
with our first of four rounds today. It is our
General Knowledge Round Round one, General Knowledge Thinking, caps on

(00:58):
fellers at the ready, and away we go. There are
eight questions in the General Knowledge Round. Here is question
number one. What novel by pearl s Buck dramatizes family
life in an early twentieth century Chinese village, Probably the

(01:19):
most famous work from pearl Buck. Pearl S Buck, it's
a three world, three word title. Do you remember that novel?
I think it came out in the nineteen thirties. It's
a classic in literature again. I'll repeat it one more
time for question number one. What novel by pearl S
Buck dramatizes family life in an early twentieth century Chinese village.

(01:44):
Give you the clue. It's a three word title. How
do we feel? After one question? I am already seeing
gritted teeth?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
But cool, I know this thing and yet don't have
this thing?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
He is I know.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm like, we've built our career on a certain respect
for being remarked, which is odd.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
But here was this book written? Did you say?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I think it's nineteen thirty one ish.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Like a great movie, like a weird movie now, but
a movie that was considered a great movie that now
was a questionable representation.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yes, you've heard this title. It's gonna come to you.
I think it's going to pop into your head. Pearl As.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Even if you can't think of something, you just have
put anything down. You have to have some kind of answer.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's maybe the hardest question in this round. So not
to worry.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I love the hardness of it. I'm present for my
own failure, all right.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Question number two, moving right along, what funk band had
the hits fire and Love rolla costa Child, Love roller
coaster and fire? What funk band had those two hits?
Fantastic band? For number two, just name the band I

(03:02):
have that right, Yeah, feeling better? They're not all pearl
last buck questions? Thank god?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Question number three, it's an interesting question. Who was the
first woman and gymnasts to show up on the front
of a Wheaty's box? What woman and gymnast was the
first to appear on the Wheaty's box? For question number three?
Last name will Suffice?

Speaker 4 (03:32):
All right?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Question number four, we're kind of going all around the
world for this one. We're talking about flags. Flags. The
flags of Egypt, Iraq, Trinidad and Tobago, Syria and Yemen
all share these three main colors. They all have the
same color scheme with their stripes and whatnot. Again, Egypt, Iraq,

(03:54):
Trinidad and Tobago, Syria and Yemen all of their national
flags share kind of the three main colors. They might
have another smallish color or something in there, but three
main ones. Can you name those three colors?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Are they the only countries to support those colors?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I think all the main countries. When I was looking
up at this poster that had all of them listed
there was like maybe one or two kind of real
smallish island nations that maybe did. I was like, I
don't think that's gonna help Anyboddy.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
I just went with a very gut reaction, Yes, me too.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right, Number five is right up your alley. Here
we go. We're back on the trolley with number five.
Name the acting pair that lit up the silver screen
in both Captain Blood and the Adventures of Robin Hood.
Who were the main and woman They showed up in
both Captain Blood and the Adventures of Robin Hood. Can

(04:53):
you remember those actors' names? One man, one woman? Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yes, is that man's? His name? Is the swash buckling dude?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
All right? Six six is kind of a weird question.
Let's see how much we are our minds work? Or
this is a nineties question? What food additive was approved
by the FDA back in ninety six and used in
the Wow brand of chips by freedol A, but was
discontinued as lots of folks complained about abdominal cramping and
loose stools. Do you remember what the hell that stuff

(05:32):
was called? If they put on their chips back in
nineteen ninety six, it was a It was a smash
hit until people ate the stuff. Right.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
That's a slash yeah, splashdown, Yeah, a splash hit that
deserves a sploosh.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right, your penultimate question in the General Knowledge round
here we are question number seven of eight. What Filipino
politician was famous for stealing money from the citizenry to
live a lavish lifestyle, including a supposed collection of over
three thousand pairs of shoes. Yes, the big thing is
that she had all the shoes in the Philippines pretty much?

(06:20):
Do you remember her name? For question number seven?

Speaker 4 (06:23):
I could have remembered it if you and asked me.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's your kryptonite. I know everything unless you ask me.
All right, Question number eight, eight of eight. This is
the last question in the General Knowledge round? Where in
your body? Could you suffer an orbital fracture? An orbital fracture?

(06:49):
Where is that on your person? If you suffer an
orbital fracture? Pencil down. We will go over your answers
in just a few quick moments, but it's time to me.
Are terrific guests all the way from Monmouth Beach, New Joysey.

(07:11):
He's written a bunch of stuff with his partner who's
here with him on the show. But they've written a
ton of stuff. Scream the TV series. It is Halloween season,
Make It or Break It, Celebrity Deathmatch Siren. My friend
Michael Gans is here.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Hello, Hello folks.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
You can follow mister Gans on social media at Michael
Gans on Instagram and Facebook. Mister Gans, what charity are
you playing for today?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I am for the Cameron Boys Foundation, which Cameron was
a guest was a guest star, was a co star
on Kevin's My Husband. I'm married to Kevin Jayleman, who
is a Broadway star and television star and TikTok sensation
at a movie star anyway. He has like eleven million
parts on Tickok. But he started a the show he

(08:00):
didn't start, but he did a series called Jesse and
one of his co stars was the brilliant actor Cameron Boyce,
who had epilepsy. But it only just discovered he had
epilepsy when he was eighteen years old and then passed
away from sudden eplepsy attack in the night. And it's
just a thing that people don't have enough awareness of.
But his family has created a foundation called the Camon

(08:22):
Boys Foundation, and it's to raise awareness and feed research
so that people can know about because no one knows
that that's a very possible thing to happen, and it
just happens in the middle of a sudden and very
shocking things. But it has raised tons of money. It's
a fantastic charity and it's so significant that people don't
know that you can pass in then you can never

(08:44):
even know you had eplepsy and have an episode in
the night.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
That is unbelievable. Or happy to make a donation in
your name to the Cameron Voice Foundation, Win or Lose.
Now you're writing partner, it's it's Gans and Register. So
this dude from Virginia Beach where we have a bunch
of beach bunnies on the show. We have mon Myth
Beach and we have Virginia Beach, Virginia again celebrity deathmatch.

(09:09):
Fantastic you guys, that was that one of the early
things you guys both wrote on.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yes, it was our second TV show.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
The first one was one that we wrote we created
for MTV animation that ran for one season called Spy Groove.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Which you can still see, but because was MTV, they
don't like re release on platforms very often. You can
see it on YouTube. Yes, in multiple languages, in many,
many languageses and we performed sixty nine of the voices.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Holy But after one season, MTV announced that they are
dismantling their animation department.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Sweet thanks.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I stumbled into it during Beavis and Button And then
there were like two hundred and fifty employees creating animated
shows that cost millions of dollars. And they were lights
in the house and you know reality, and you don't
need to spend all the money.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
At off way more expensive than a bunch of twenty
year olds in the house.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
But we were not named for Annie Award. Yeah together,
and did a lot of crazy voices like the very supervillain.
There is a supervillain and not a not to play women,
not only not not play pretty young women. There's one thing, Let's.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do again, wrote for Celebrity Deathmatch Siren, Make It or
Break It and Scream, the TV series. My friend Richard
Register is here today.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Hello hello everyone, Hello, hello hello.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
You can follow Richard on Facebook at Richard Register and Richard,
what charity are you playing for today?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm playing for an organization called Vote Forward, which is
a kind of a grassroots organization because it has. I've
been doing this all all this election season. It has
volunteers from all over the country that write letters to voters,
and they have campaigns in almost every state. And it's

(11:01):
a non partisan organization and it just sends out letters
to people who are registered and that probably have not
voted recently. But they do a lot of research on
the best places to go to to pinpoint you know,
places that will really get out the vote. It's all
about getting out the vote. And it sends the information
of where to vote, where you registered to vote, where

(11:24):
your polling place is. It just gives you all the
basic information so you can just go vote. And I
find that they're extremely organized and they always can use
more money because they have a staff of a not
a huge staff, but they do a lot, a lot
of work.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, me and a bunch of friends have been writing
letters for them all election season as well, so I, oh, yeah,
it's a bunch in the mail not too long ago.
I know there's other groups that do postcards and whatnot,
but Vote Forward they even doing I maybe like a
like a decade plus or something, but like I feel
like now they're just a well oiled machine and.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
They really really are I first, you know, started doing
them in the twenty twenty election, and they're very well
oil the machine. They seem very respectable, and they're just
very you know, it's amazing. They do millions and millions
and millions of letters, and I feel like it's it's
you know, instead of like making calls or knocking on doors.

(12:23):
I feel like this like handwritten letter. You know, it's
a handwritten envelope. And then there's a section in this
in the letter where you say why.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
I like to vote.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, it's a personal thing coming to the people, and
I feel like it probably has as many the percentages
of people that you know are engaged as all the
other ones, but you don't have to deal with a
lot of people hanging up with you or shutting a
door in your face.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, it is a nice thing yet to write just
something personal that why you think voting is important to you.
People came for you and fought for the vote or whatever.
I remember writing stuff of like my grandmother lived to
be one hundred and three and she was still voting
up until the last you know, you know, days for
her life. For if she can do it at one
o three, I'm not sitting this one out. Yes, but yeah,

(13:09):
happy to make a donation in your name to that
wonderful charity, Vote Forward. We got the Cameron Boyce Foundation.
You know, our two incredible writers that are here, Richard
and Michael. It's time to get back to the game.
Answers for a very interesting a round one General knowledge around.
There were eight questions in the round. Question number one
was what novel by pearl S book dramatizes family life

(13:33):
in an early twentieth century Chinese village. Michael, did it
come to you?

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I know I'm incorrect, but I did. I think it's
like called The Good Earth.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
The Good Earth. That is a great guess. Richard, what
did you put?

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Yes? I wrote that beautiful novel called The Red Situation,
The Red Situation.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
That is a page turner if I've ever read one.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Calling society on all of its ills.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
The correct answer for question number one is pearl As
Bucks The Good Earth, The Good.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I knew it came to me.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
It was in there. It was in there like we
all have those little tidbits, and that's going to happen
to both of you throughout this game, right, the Good Earth?
For number one? Question number two, what funk band had
the hits Fire and Love roller Coaster. Richard war War
great guest, Michael, what did you put?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I didn't get right, but I said Parliament.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Parliament funk Adelic the correct answer. You guys were all
around it great band from the nineteen seventies. The band
was the Ohio Players, the art.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
And we actually had roller Coaster in our one of
our first series, and we had these big musical moments
in a show that we created for UPN Believe it
or not called Sex Seven Secrets, and we had these
moments where it would eve normal life and go into
a few the music, and that was one of the songs.
Love roll Coaster was the first episode, I think.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Right, Holy smokes. Question number three, who was the first
woman and gymnast to show up on the front of
a wheaties box? Michael?

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I originally put Marrily Retten, but crossed her out just
to show my work, and then I said, uh, Nadia Komanci.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Nadia Komenech. Richard, what did you put?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
I was trying to think of the first woman he
put down?

Speaker 4 (15:33):
The first said, Oh, it's what's her face? It's what's
her face?

Speaker 1 (15:38):
And I said, no, it's not it's nat a cob
of each and I wrote down naughty cobin ech oh brother.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
The correct answer that little that little haircut was Mary
Lou Olympics.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I would have been reading because it was too early
for Nadia to do it right, because they didn't. They
wouldn't have put her She's it was. It was achievement.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I think like in the seventies there was like
Bruce Jenner was on there. I remember jenn from the Olympics,
and they maybe had an Olympics, but they were still like,
you know, sexist. Even back then it was still just like, well,
we don't put women on anything but eighty four. Yeah,
all right, it is merely retten for number three, number four.
The flags of Egypt, Iraq, Trinidad and Tobago, Syria, and

(16:23):
Yemen all share these three main colors. Richard, what did
you put?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I put yellow, green and.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Black, yellow, green and black. Great guess, Michael, what did
you put?

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yellow?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Green and red, yellow, green and red? The correct answer
is red, white and black, red, whoe and black. They're
all kind of very interesting. There's not a ton of them.
These are the ones that are mostly red, white and
black stripes. Per sEH all of those flags. Now we

(16:59):
all know. Now when you see any of these flags,
you're gonna be like, oh my god, damn it. Mike
told us about that red, white, and black. That is
a tough question, all right, Question number five, we're going
to the movies. Name the acting pair that let up
the silver screen in both Captain Blood and the Adventures
of Robin Hood were going in the wayback machine for
the movie question, Michael, what did you put for number five?

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Olivia de Haln and Errol.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Flynn Havelin and Errol Flynn Richard, what did you come
up with? See?

Speaker 4 (17:31):
I cannot lie. I could not think of Errol Flynny,
and I knew it was. I was, oh, so what's
his face?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I can see if I can see, I can see.
But I couldn't think Errol Flynn. And so I just
put the next actor that came to my hand, which
is so absolutely ridiculous. I wrote Linard me Moy.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
And Olivia to Havelin.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
That answer deserves a huzza. Oh my god, I'm giving
you both the point for that. Oh my, Leonard Nemoy
is terrific thinking of him and in green tights jumping
around her. Captain blood when he puts the knife in

(18:20):
the mask of that ship and comes down the big.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Slat dumping up branch.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Leonardoy, So it is.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
It is Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havlin. But if
you put Leonard Neimoy in Olivia you did have it,
give yourself a point.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Definite historic movie.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
If you put those it that is tremendous.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Question number six, what food added? It was approved by
the FDA back in nineteen ninety six and used in
Wold brand chips by Freedo La, but was discontinued as
lots of folks complained about abdominal cramping and loose stools.
Richard red Dye number six, Hello red Dye number six, Michael,
what did you put Olestra Ostra? Yeah? And I think

(19:07):
it had a brand name too, called like o Lean,
Olean or Olestra. Give yourselves a point for that gross
food additive that Procter and Gamble Gamble. I think they
just like mistakenly discovered it in doing some of their
other testing. They're like zero calories.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
I remember what it was called Olean Olean.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
So yes, if you put Olestra or Olean, hopefully you
didn't eat any of it. But if you wrote it down.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Question number seven, what Filipino politician was famous for stealing
money from the citizenry to live a lavish lifestyle, including
a supposed collection of over three thousand pairs of shoes.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Michael and Melda Marcos.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Amelda Marcos? Richard, what did you put?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
I also wrote, Amelda Marcos?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It is in fact, Imelda Marcos.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Seven.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Question number eight, where in your body could you suffer
an orbital fracture? Richard?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Oh, this is very clinical answer that I wrote on
the face of my moon.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Michael, what did you put?

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I put eye socket?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I socket. Yeah, it's any of the bones surrounding your
eye socket in a facial fracture. Orbital bones. Yeah, right
around your eye socket. So Michael gets it. Face is close.
I could give you like a half point for saying face.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Bottom.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
He was talking about your bottom bottom. All right, we
are telling up the score and after a very fun
general knowledge round, we have Richard Register with two big
points and Michael Dans in the lead with five. It's
five to two after one.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Will, but I'm not gonnag dang.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
All right. It is five to two after one as
we head into round two, which is our pop Culture
grab Bag.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Round two pop Culture grab Bag Today.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
In the grab bag, you fellas love the theater, so
we're gonna do something interesting. We're gonna do kind of
a half and half round. These are gonna be questions
about Shakespeare as well as Broadway musicals. So we're gonna
do all questions about the theater. But there's about half
of them there about Shakespeare plays and the other about
Broadway musicals. There are eight questions in the round. Here

(21:35):
is question number one. Now you're gonna have to give
me some leeway because this is the most insane word
I've probably had to pronounce on the show. Honorific gobilitudin
tatabis is the longest word mentioned in any of Shakespeare's plays.
Is spoken in this comedy featuring Ferdinand, the King of

(21:56):
Navarre and the Princess of France. Name Matt Shaker, spear
play for question number one. Again, that word whoof this
is a tough one. Honorrific abilitudina tepaitibus or something along
those lines is the longest word mentioned in any of
Shakespeare's plays. It's spoken in this comedy featuring Ferdinand, the

(22:18):
King of Navarre, and the Princess of France. I think
she becomes the Queen of France in this play. Name
it for number one.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
I'm not going to give anything away, but this answers
in my back bok.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Hello, all right. Question number two goes like this, What
musical that opened in nineteen ninety seven is the highest
grossing Broadway musical of all time? Raking in over one
point five billion dollars? Thus far again for question number two,

(22:51):
what musical that opened in ninety seven is the highest
grossing Broadway musical of all time, raking in over one
point five billion dollars? Up to now? All right, question
number three, I think you guys had this one too.
We're going back to Shakespeare. Can you name two of
the three Shakespeare plays that features Sir John Fallstaff? Yes,

(23:16):
Sir John Paul Staff. He appears in three Shakespeare plays.
Can you name two of the three for question number three?
All right? Question number four, back to musicals. What musical
contains the song all about this city that I grew
up very close to? Gary, Indiana?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Name that musical for number four? What musical contains the
song all about Gary, Indiana?

Speaker 4 (23:43):
I can tell you a few things about Gary.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I just watched the clip today. Oh, it was like,
holy god, I did see that as a kid, and
I was like, so weird it out and blown away
where I'm like, what the hell? Why are they singing
about the place that.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Indiana not Louisy Fenne Paris brands New Yorker Rome by
carry Indiana Gary my home.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
See, all right, I think I think you guys got
that one. I'm gonna venture, I guess, all right. For
question number five, we're going back to the bar. For
question number five, what character from As You Like It
has the most lines of any female character in a
Shakespeare play. This female character in this Shakespeare play has

(24:32):
the most lines. She's from As you Like It? Name her?
For question number five, all right, smoking through the pop
culture grab back today, we're talking about Shakespeare and musicals.
Question number six goes like this, who wrote the song
There's no business like show business? And what musical is

(24:54):
it from? It's kind of a two parter. Who wrote
the song There's no business like show business? And from?
What musical is that from? For question number six? All right,
question number seven, I think you guys have this one.
By the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way
comes is a line from what Shakespeare tragedy for number seven?

(25:18):
Your penultimate question in the grab bag again by the
pricking of my thumbs. Something wicked this way comes is
a line from what Shakespeare tragedy for number seven?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yes, a tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, give it away?

Speaker 3 (25:35):
We can't give away, just can't stay with you know,
or not to ruin the show we.

Speaker 2 (25:40):

denies that he is gay by singing the song might
girlfriend who lives in blank? Fill in the blank from

about Shakespeare and Broadway musicals Little Half and Half Action
Question number one, honorificabilitudin a tatibus is the longest word
mentioned in any of Shakespeare's plays is spoken in this
comedy featuring Ferdinand, the King of Navarre and the Princess
of France. Richard wasn't too sure. What did you put?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
No, I don't know this, and I know Michael knows it.
For some reason, I put this, and I don't think it's.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Twelfth Night.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Twelfth Night, great play, one of my favorites. Michael, what
did you put?

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Breakin play? But I would hazard to guess that it
is incorrect because I had one of the great performances
of my entire career in this play, playing the character
Boyette who will and in waiting to the Queen to
be of France, who's the Princess of France? And the
play is Love's Labors Lost?

Speaker 2 (27:25):
And oh yes, I look on he is correct. It
is Love's labor is Lost. For number one, where you'll find, yeah, Ferdinand,
the King of the varn Princess of France becoming the
queen with her three little uh handmaids or whatnot, and.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Then her very feat possibly gay hand man.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Who Yeah, that's so great. It is Love's Labors Lost.
But that's that's a deep cut. That's not one that
gets done a lot, and you don't hear about it
a lot. You nailed it. Question number two. What musical
that opened in ninety seven and is the highest grossing
Broadway musical of all time, raking in over one point
five billion dollars? Michael, Wicked? Wicked? Great guest, Richard, what

The correct answer is wa, It's not Wicked. Tis the
Lion King? Oh?

Speaker 4 (28:25):

Speaker 2 (28:25):
The Lion King is the one that's raked in the most,
the most box office money over one and a half
billion dollars. Still going all right back to Shakespeare for

plays that feature Sir John A. Fall Staff? Richard?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yes, one I'm pretty sure is The Merrywives of Windsor,
And then I put King Henry the Eighth.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
King Henry the Eighth. You have the Merry Wives of Windsor,
Henry the Eighth Michael, what did you put it?

Speaker 3 (29:00):
And then I know the other one. I'm not gonna
hazard to make the mistake of naming it, but it's
the other in the interim of Heavy the Fifth, that's
the people are sequel to that.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
All right, I'm going to give you one point a
piece because you got one of them. The Merry Wives
of Windsor is correct. But the histories, there was two
histories that he's a part of, and it's Henry the
Fourth parts one and two. Henry the Fourth one and two.
You will also find Sir John Falstaff besides that comedy
the Mary Wives of Windsor. So I'm going to give

(29:27):
you one point a piece because you got that one.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oh, I'm totally embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's okay. There's a lot of histories and they all
kind of blend together. It's like Richard the Third, Henry
the Fifth, and then the rest of them. I think
you just like put all in a barrel and be like,
I don't remember Richard.

has the most lines of any female character in any
of the Shakespeare plays. Can you name her? Richard Rosalind, Rosalind, Michael?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
I thought it was cold? Porter and kissed me? Kight.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Good guesses?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Good guesses, because I ran the spotlight for I had
to get your Gun that year because I did another
production and not the high.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
School play, not the high school musical.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
It's okay, it's okay. You still get to keep your
musicals card. But it was for number six, it was
Irving Berlin, the Great Irving Berlin, and it is from
Annie Get your Gun. I didn't know. That's when I
saw that. I was like, that's an interesting question. Irving

Mel Sharples played by Vic Tayback. Both great names real

(47:39):

What are you gonna go with?

Speaker 4 (48:22):
I look, you're gonna go with Japan. Japan.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Great guess, Michael, what did you put?

Speaker 3 (48:28):
I put China if I'm honest that I was wondering
about Japan.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Okay, So we have China and Japan. Great guesses. I
thought that's where you would be. One of you is correct,
one of you is incorrect. The correct answer is.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Japan.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
It is Japan.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
They were powerhouses in the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yeah, powerhouses, is right. So Japan overtook West Germany back
in the nineteen seventies. Two big points for Richard. He
needed that question number three. In what year did these
three things happen? Star Wars was released, the New York
City Blackout happened, and Presley passed away. Michael, what what
year did you come up with?

Speaker 3 (49:04):
Nineteen seventy five?

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Nineteen seventy five? Richard, what did you put?

Speaker 4 (49:09):
I'm gonna say seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Seventy seven. The correct answer all three of those things.
Star Wars the blackout and Elvis Presley passed away. Was
a big year in music with the dawn of like
new wave and punk rock. The same year Elvis died
was nineteen seventy seven. Holy shit, we got a ballgame.

(49:32):
We got a ballgame. That's two in a row for Richard.
Whoo you start getting dicey nineteen seventy seven for number three,
question number four. This holiday was first celebrated on April
twenty second, nineteen seventy We had a question was this
a federal holiday? It is not a federal holiday. But

(49:52):
what holiday are we speaking of? Richard? What did you
come up with?

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Well, this is wrong because this is a federal holiday.
I put Martin Luther King.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Junior Day MLKA Junior Day. Michael, what did you put?

Speaker 3 (50:06):
I put every day in the whole year, And then
I finally came down to Dobbin's Happy Puppy Day.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
That's what it should be, right, that's what it should be.
We have this every year. No one really celebrates it,
but it does make sense when you think about it.
April twenty second, every year we celebrate Earth Day. It
is I that April twenty second, that day day. Forget it, you.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Will not forget. We'll not soon forget the Earth Day.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
Yes, I know, of course that's Earth Day. Good God.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, But no harm, no foul, all right. Question number five,
little little music question, little R and B. What duo
gave us the late seventies slow jams or not slow jams?
Shake your groove things is just a jam? And then
Reunited was more of a slow jam. Michael, what did
you put for number five?

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Ashford and Simpson?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
Guess Ashford and Simpson, Richard, what did you put?

Speaker 4 (51:02):
I also put Ashford and Simpson.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Oh my god, we're not doing music questions ever again
with you. I didn't know this about this duo, but
it's Peaches and Herb.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Course it is.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Peaches and Herb. And I didn't know this, but there
were three different women that played Peaches at one time
or another. I thought it was the same person, but
it was like, no, they kept the name even though
there was different singers. So there was one singer in
particular that had those hits with Herb who was the same.
But Peaches and Herb gave us those two lovely songs again,

(51:40):
no harm, no file for question number five, Question number six,
June twenty third, nineteen seventy two. What law or title
stated that no person in the United States shall, on
the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or
being denied benefits of, or subjected to discrimination, under any
educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. It's called

(52:01):
title what Richard, Title six, Title six going red Dye,
and number six Idle six, Big Hero six. Michael, what
do you got? Title fifty nine? You hear this a
lot when they talk about women's sports and why we

(52:22):
excel so much in hockey and soccer and a bunch
of other athletics. It's Title nine. Title nine is that
title that helped that allowed women to play all sorts
of sports in all schooling and that's why. Yeah, women
in the United States have been excelling left and right.
Are incredible at every sport nowadays, like basketball, like the

(52:43):
WNBA incredible season, all thanks to Title nine.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Well do I get half a point because my numbers
just upside down?

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah? You just headed upside down? You?

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Oh wait, I did say Title nine. It is night
right there.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Those of you at home, they are turning their notebook
papers upside down.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
I have Title nine, you have nine?

Speaker 2 (53:09):
You have nine? ELEITHI or ok, I have elt it
el tit, you have nine el tits. It's all good.
I think we still have a very close game as
it comes down to these final three questions. Question number
seven named nineteen seventy five documentary featuring the reclusive mother

(53:30):
and daughter upperclass women, both named Edith Beale, Michael Greg
Gardens Ladies and Gentleman Grey Gardens. Richard, what did you put?

Speaker 4 (53:39):
Yeah? That's the game me for a gay grey Gardens.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
It is the wonderful Lil Edie and big Edie grey
Gardens is correct?

Speaker 4 (53:51):
For now, I didn't know it was.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
You both nailed it two big points apiece. Question number eight,
what's seventies fad sold more in the United States? Pet
rocks or mood rings? Richard.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
I went with this answer because I just feel like
they were around longer.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Mood rings, mood rings. Michael, do you agree with me?
Or did you go your how would you go?

Speaker 4 (54:16):
You went with.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Because I feel like I know that factuated somehow in
the back.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Pet Rocks sold over one point five million Oh my
god locks were sold in the nineteen seventies. Mood rings
sold over twenty five million Oh Wow rings. Wins outs.
They still sold a lot of each, but mood rings
sold twenty five million mood rings in the nineteen seventies.

(54:45):
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
It could all come down to this question number nine.
Who played the parents on the sitcom Good Times? I
need both of them? Michael, what did you get Don
Amos and Esther Roll? John Esther Roll? Richard? What did you.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
Put John Amos and Esther Roll?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
It was Esther Great Ester Role and John Amos that
were the parents in that sitcom Good Times. Now time
to tabulate our scores. Oh my god, what we have
just tabulated our scores. Yes, after four intense rounds between

(55:27):
you two writing partners, extraordinary. We have Michael Gans with
twenty three points and Richard Register with twenty.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Oh, Michael Gans, you are the smartest person in the world.
Oh one a week by one point.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Both impressive scores. That came down to the last couple
of questions. It really did you guys did great. But
the game is not over. It's now time for the
final throat.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
On the final throwdown.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
It's time for me to just bring up a one
off question. You two can discuss an answer and then
I'll leave you with the correct answer and a few tidbits,
so hopefully we learn a little something something before all
is through. Here is your final throwdown question that you
guys can discuss. Allowed. What land mammal has the longest tail?
What land mammal do you think has the longest tail?

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Ah, very very interesting. It's a mammal, so it births.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
Oh, I think, longest tail in the world, and everything
is like a blue waves, it's like a huge tail.
But land mammal, what land man has the longest tail?

Speaker 3 (56:51):
Longest? So it's a land mammal. So it's it has
to give birth, you know, through the giant it's got
to give birth that way. And it's got to also
feed and milk. It's it's young, I mean it. You
know they breastfeed, you know, young, longest.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
Tail, longest tail, like maybe a giraffe. I don't even
know if they have tails. That's a goodness.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
I was thinking about a giraffe, but not an elephant
necessary all right?

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Could it be one of like a monkey, an ape
or they don't.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Have any tails, their tails, they don't have tails monkeys and.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
Some of those monkeys really hang by their tails.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
And now they hang by their arms. They don't have Oh,
well they do. Do monkeys do sometimes have tails?

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Or do they? Yes?

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Little spider monkeys have tails totally.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
But probably have the longest tails.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Fuge monkey.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Uh longest tail, longest tail. Uh, it's terrible. I don't
know that. It's all a children's book that you remember.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
I know you're thinking they don't have the longest tail.
Not the longest story of yours share.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
You're not talking about the tail of your rags. I
was going for that joke too. Not the longest story,
which would be.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Ship, but the longest bit of lore, not the longest fib.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
You know, who say we could do it. It's so
hard to think that I don't long tail, long tail?
I would you know? I thought kangaroo. But kangaroo is marsupial.
It's not even a mammals, right, it's not a mammal.
Have a very long tail.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
That's very tiger panther or Oh that's good.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
They have long tails tigers and cheetahs, I think.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
But it's not that visit but not that long necessarily.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
I think you might be right on the monkey bard
but who knows? Who knows? Uh? This is hard because
I know yang Sea River. I recently heard that was
a hard one on another show. I you know this too,
The Yanksy River was one of the greatest natural zesters
of all time.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
That I don't think I would have guessed this right
away at all. I would have maybe mentioned it or something,
but like, I don't know, it's it's a weird question.
That's why I picked it. I was like, this is interesting.
I don't think it's something that you just hear bandied
about all the time.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
Yeah, it has to be. It has to be a
kind of a hard.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
Get land mammal land mammal.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
What do you think find answers commonly in a zoo?

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Sure, I guess I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say a panther.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Panther and lemur great guesses. The final throwdown answer. You
said it very early on. It is a giraffe, Ara.
It's so goddamn big. You don't think the tail is
like big either, But the tail get this averages about
eight feet long wo and then to swat away the

(01:00:02):
pesky biting insects, so it's got to be long to
get up their necks and backs and all that stuff.
Right on average has an eighth forth long tail, which
I thought was weird and interesting. I'm like, I did
not know that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
So the tall it's like being really tall, you don't
notice you have a big butt.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
But yeah, I also learned not too long ago, like
something else I should have learned when I was a
kid is that there's a question about how many vertebrae
are in a giraffe's neck, and you think there's like
a hundred because it's so long, and it's like they
have the same amount of neck vertebrae that we do.
It's seven. They have seven, but their vertebrae are like
the first ones this big, and then the next one,

(01:00:41):
oh wow, So we each have seven vertebrates.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Huge and they're just huge.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Yeah, they're like huge, almost like Stegosaurus plates, Like they're huge.
If you look the vertebrae of a draft's neck, you're like,
oh my god. Wild. But we learned something about our friends,
the giraffe. Gentlemen, it was such a pleasure to have
