Hey, everybody, it's your pal Dan, and I couldn't be more thrilled to introduce you to a quick sneak peek of a brand new, fun trivia ish show that we've been working on for some time now, Extra Nuggets. I co host Extra Nuggets with dear friend of the show, voice of the Chicago Bulls play by play announcer for Fox Sports, Adam Aman. And now instead of me going on and on about the show, here is your quick
preview with everything you need to know. Adam, what do you know about historical terms that start with the letter?
See? Dan? What do you know about script rewrites?
I hope more than I think I do. What we're going to do here today is what we do on every episode, which is select random categories from Jeopardy episodes, ask each other the five clue questions, and then provide additional context to those answers or questions if you will, which can also be termed extra nuggets. Welcome to the show. For two hundred dollars. Canada's Hamilton River was renamed in nineteen sixty five to honor this British statesman, who is
Charles Churchill. I was looking for the thing that I found to be fascinating is the town of Churchill is considered to be and is the self proclaimed polar bear capital of the world. And there are so many polar bears in Churchill. There is a polar bear jail. It's not a zoo. What it's not a place to euthanize polar bears. What happens is if there are rogue polar bears causing mischief and trouble and danger in the town,
you call the line. They get picked up the polar bears, They get tranquilized, They get put into a cell in a repurposed military airplane hangar for thirty days, only fed water and snow, because polar bears can go along time without eating. Sure, and then they're tranked again, put out back away from the town to discourage them from returning, like there's no food in this town for you. You shouldn't come back. It's a timeout for wild polar bears.
So for eight hundred Marlon Brando returned the script to this nineteen fifty four Ilia Kazan classic, unread the part nearly when to Frank Sinatra, I'm going to say it's on the waterfront.
That is correct, Daniel could have been a contention. Well, this could have been a contender, absolutely so. The producer's name is Sam Spiegel. He guilt tripped Marlon Brando into taking the role by making the case that Elia Kazan had made Brando's career with a streetcar named Desire, obviously a very popular film as well, and he owed the director one the lie that you mentioned about. I could
have been a contender in the taxi cab. I could have been good, Gonzenzo, Oh yeah, you played that was great? Thank you. Actually, that actually sounded really good in my head. Nice. Brando's contract stipulated that he was allowed to leave the set every day at four pm to attend sessions with his psychoanalyst, so as a result, he did not read the lines to Rod Steger when it came time to film the close ups during that famous taxi cab scene, Ilia Kazan the director did it instead. WHOA.
I believe I could be wrong here. I believe Marlon Brando is very well known for just overall to your point, not learning his lines, yes, and essentially having his co stars were post its on their face with his lines.
There's a quote from him that said, if you don't know what the words are, but you have a general idea of what they are, and then you look at the Q card and it gives you the feeling to the viewer, hopefully that the person is really searching for what they're gonna say, or that he doesn't know what to say. Logically, I can't argue that unfortunately. On that note, thank you to everybody for listening to Extra Nuggets. Thank
you to Adam, thank you to Dan. I'm thanking myself for I don't know why, and I hope you learned three to five different things on this episode.
We'll see you soon. All right, there's your first look at Extra Nuggets. The first episodes are ready for you to listen to right now on Verballers dot com, and we'd love for you to give the show a chance. So until next time, Peace,
