Oh, I see.

I don't think people generally question people when they say they have to go to the bathroom. I hope not.

Yeah, it's probably not a good move.

No, I feel like our last few road trips we were pretty lucky. That's most of the bathroom for lovely, good job, gas stations and nailing it. I love a good road trip.

To who else loves a good road trip? Annie? Well?

Yeah, that's a great list.

There are probably a couple of different missions for how you go about thinking about this. One of them, for example, is the Netherlands, which has Amsterdam as the capital, but then the Hague is the de facto capital. That's that's kind of what Knife's getting at with this question.

Yeah, that's fun, Thank you Knife. And speaking of knife. Round three. Question nine. The category is geography. This question comes from listener knife thank.

And that's it for the regular rounds, which means it's time for the Big Bang Round. The category for this week's Big Bang Round is Sports. We'll give you three clue questions, which are all hints to one final question. The clue questions may not fall under the same category. Question one, which former UCLA player in Spike Lee Nemesis played in the NBA for eighteen seasons for the same team without an NBA championship?

Question two. The Milwaukee Brewers, LA Rams and the Saint Louis Blues all share what two team colors?

Question three? Which state in the US is home to the world's largest children's museum at four hundred and seventy two thousand, nine hundred square feet or forty three nine hundred and thirty three square meters.

And your Big Bang question again, the category is sports. There are only four men in NBA history to be named TJ, and they all, at one point in the career played for which team?

And now the answer is to the Big Bang round. Question one? Which former UCLA player and Spike Lee nemesis played in the NBA for eighteen seasons? Reggie Miller?

Question two, the Brewers, Rams, and Blues all share which two team colors blue and gold?

Question three? Which state is home to the world's largest children's museum, Indiana?

And finally, there are only four men in NBA history to be named TJ, and they all, at one point in their career played for which team Reggie Miller's team from Indiana whose colors are blue and gold, the Indiana Pacers.

That's a funny coincidence because like, obviously Indiana is like, all right, guys, there's a TJ coming up. We need to recruit him quick.

It's pretty great. Do you remember where you heard that?

I think I saw it on social media and I was just like, that's wacky.

That's a great trivia fact to a little piece of trivia.

Mm hmm.

Also pretty wild.

The person who realized that.

I don't know how they came to that knowledge.

Yeah, if they were like, that's a lot of TJ's on one team, and then like I can't think of a single TJ on another team, and then researched it. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, but good for them for finding that random coincidence.

Reggie Miller played all his years with the Pacers, all those tjs. I'm not familiar with their careers. They might have moved around. I think TJ. McConnell might still be playing for them, but that might have changed. I don't follow the NBA that closely. But yeah, what a fun, little weird sports oddity. M h Gotta love those.
