I am playing for the Beagle Freedom Project. They are an amazing group. We fostered a bunch of beagles. They take not just beagles, but primarily beagles out that have been in They've lived their whole lives in laboratory settings because they
still do lots of testing on animals. And this is gonna be a heartbreaking way to start the show. It's the reason they choose beagles is because they are the most forgiving of dogs. So yeah, yeah, that's a hard detail. And so they rescue these beagles, they free them from these laboratories where they've lived, you know, years, years and years just in a
laboratory, never been out. We had these two incredible dogs, Liam and Whalen and they were in our backyard and it was literally watching them learned how to be dogs, because like they'd never stepped on grass before, and you're just like, oh my gosh, oh my god. And they're so sweet. I didn't know what to expect. You know, we have our dog Hiccup here, We're like, oh, what's that going to be? Like,
they're so wonderful. We have our daughter, like, they were so sweet with her and they are doing good work, and so yeah, either donate or if you can adopt a bagel, they're amazing, or even just foster. It was an incredible experience for us to have Liam. And that is beautiful. A tip of the cap to my old pal Dougie Fresh who was part beagle oh that I had for almost twelve years. Oh that's right, Douglas E. Fresh. So it's near and dear to my heart.
But yeah, that is beautiful. So yeah, if you have some extra scratch and you can give to the Beagle Freedom Project or the Tegan and Sarah Foundation, please do it. Now. You know our wonderful guests, you know the tremendous causes they are playing for. But it's time to get back to brass tacks and go over our answers for a very fun and interesting general Knowledge Round. Question number one in the round was who is the genius behind the many cartoons of the Far Side? Eric, what did you get for
number one? Gary Larson? Gary Larson? Gabe, what did you put? I as well got Gary Larson. We got Gary Larson, and we got Gary Larson. You would both be correct one for one? Yes, read a sigh of relief. It is because it does make it easier to have done the first one. Yeah, that's really setting them all downhill from here. Yeah, wasn't that what? That was a golden age of opening up the newspaper, wasn't it. I mean, why does he stop?
Like? I feel like he went Sallenger and just stopped in the world needs now more than ever. Both he and Bill Waterson just at the same time, and they were all so both just seemingly you know, they're just going to do their own thing, and you know, very Salinger. Yeah,
who was the one. I don't know if it was Gary Larson, but it was very similar and I think about it all the time in our current political climate, but it was the cartoon that was slugs for salt where it was like a charismatic slug preaching a bunch of slugs why they had to get salt. And I think about it all the town age of slugs for salt. Wow, yeah, it sounds like Gary Larson. Sounds something like that, or it was an influence by Gary Larson. But yeah, I think
about a share of time. Yeah, it is, in fact the wonderful Gary Larsen for question number one. Question number two is what is the capital city of Taiwan? Gabe start us off for number two. Okay, this was a real synapse fire I had put down. I wrote down a question mark. I was ready to move on, but then I remembered I used to play Nintendo little League World Series because you said little League, and am I right that it's type Well, let's find out typeey from playing Nintendo little
League. I didn't know there was a little League World Series and it was really good. I still remember some of the player's names. Saul Ward, power hitter. That's Annie's husband, my best friend Ward, he's a warrior. There's not many Wards out there. Oh, they never awards. Bring me name boards. Yeah, I never met a bad Ward. You know what, I change it forget big old Freedom project. I'm playing for wards.
Yeah, more awards, the more awards, the foundation. Annie might think that there's enough wards, just enough, see too many, Eric, What did you put for number two? I also had Taypey, but I was worried that was just another name for Taiwan. I was worried as well. Yeah, if you watch the Little League World Series, they won thirty out of thirty two years during a stretch. I think they were just like the dominant force around the world, and they always like whooped the United States
team for many many years. But it was always Chinese Typeei, and it is TYPEI Taiwan or Typeey City. Could say Type pay City or Taypey. I will accept both of those. For number two. You guys are two for two, killing good, all right? Question number three, Contrary to popular belief that she died when bitten by an ASP, what famous queen actually poisoned herself? Mister Edelstein, Queen Anne, Queen Anne, Gabriel Tigerman.
What did you put for number three? I'm gonna go Cleopatra. We have Queen Anne and have Queen Cleo. The correct answer is Cleo Patra Cleo damn your Yeah, the beautiful face. Yeah, I forget. It's like Octavian or something. At the time that won the Big Battle was going to like parade her around in some like Roman triumphal parade and she was like, thanks, Nope, going out on my terms. Buck, all that noise going
out this way? Wow. Question number four? What book series contains the books titled The Silver Chair and The Horse and His Boy, among others. Gabe, what did you come up with for number four? I've got not a clue, not a clue. Eric, did you come up with something for number of Chronicles of Narnia The Chronicles of Narnia Great Guests, the correct answer, some of the other books that are The Last Battle and Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn, Trader and the Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe. We are talking about the Chronicles number way. That answer deserves a huzzah, son of a b shocked shock great pull by double e. Wow. Yeah, those were the kind of I think, kind of the two of the lesser known ones. So to pull that out, very good, well done. Question number five, can you name four of the six members of n w A Eric, Yeah, I got five, I got, uh if there's extra credit, I got easy E, Yella, ice Cube, doctor Dre and mc wren, and it did drive me nuts.
I could remember the sixth the sixth one I had never heard of, and I'm like, I know them fairly well, and I was like, who actually, yeah, fun fun fact. He was a collaborator. Gabe, what did you put? I had easy E, ice Cube, Dre and mc wren. Wow, you guys nailed it. It is doctor Dre, easy E, ice Cube, mc wren, DJ Yella and then Arabian Prince Arabian Prince. Have you guys ever heard of that ever? No? Uh huh. And then I would have also accepted the doc who was just a
collaborator. He wasn't really like part of n w A, but he was. He wrote a ton of their songs. So if you put the DC, I will allow it. Give yourselves the point. But that was very impressive, gentlemen. Thanks. Question number six, how does one say thank you or you're welcome in Italian? Gabe, I've got gratier and pregol grazia and preego Eric. What did you put a grazier and prego? Okay, since you guys both nail. I can't give extra points. You guys do
give you one a piece. That was great accent. That's that's minus half accent. I'm playing for the overall. I want all the points I can get, so, actually, you know what, fuck it, let's give you two points apiece and he gave them two points a piece. Both gratia in prego with a great accent. Number seven Alex Cooper has one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, which has the title call Her Blank. Fill in the blank, Eric, what did you come up with for number seven?
Crazy? Call her crazy? Great guests, Gabe, what did you put number seven? I apparently don't know podcasts? Uh so I just maybe all her. Maybe that's a great one, you know, crazy, and may write infringement. Probably the correct answer is call her Daddy, Call oh daddy? Okay, the most listened to podcast like one of the most listened to podcasts on a weekly basis in the world. Wow, Alex Cooper is making some dough nice Question Number eight, what film has the famous movie quote?
You make me want to be a better man, Mister Tigerman, I'm not gonna I'm gonna read not what I wrote because I wrote down as good as it goods, but I meant to write as good as it gets, as good as it goods. No, that was the sequel. Yeah, Eric, what did you put for number eight? I had Jerry mc wire but I think Gabe's right. Jerry mcwuies she did a quasi gave a quasi hint with a good Jack Nicholson and press the solid Jack Nicholson real good. But then I'm like, I'd give it like a C plus. It was
Jack Nicholson talking to was it hell a mont in? As good as it gets? For number eight? That was fun. You guys did wonderful in that round. Look at these scores. We've tabulated the scores. We have Eric Eteleteen with six points, Gabriel Tigerman with seven. It's seven to six after one, all right, it is seven to six after one as we head into round two, which is our pop culture grab bag. Round two pop Culture grab Bag Today. I am in heaven because we get to do
a sports category. You're both sports fans, and in particular it's around all about baseball, the national pastime. These are all questions about bass ball. I hear some of the groans out there in the ether. But then there's other people that are high fiving themselves and being like finally, yes, no, the groans are all coming from the house. Yeah, my wife and daughter. Oh interest, oh interest. Put us three baseball nerds get to nerd out on a baseball category. And I added an extra question, a
bonus question. So there are nine questions instead of eight in this baseball pop culture grab bag. Here we go, Question number one of nine. The New York Yankees, of course, have twenty seven World Series titles? Booers, what team is next in line with eleven? What team is next in line with eleven World Series titles? Oh? That is it is not the Houston cult forty fives. I will give you that hint. Oh, oh, thank you. That would have embarrassing. That would have been really Yeah,
this is not an easy question. The New York Yankees have twenty seven World Series titles? What team is next in line with eleven? Question number two. The great Roberto Clemente, one of my favorite players of all time, who was the first Caribbean and first Latin American inducted into the Cooperstown finished with what round number of hits for his career? That was cut short when he died on New Year's Eve in a plane crash. But he finished his
career with a very round number of hits. Can you give me that number of hits that the great Roberto Clemente finished with? Again, he was the first Caribbean and first Latin American inducted into Cooperstown. And I think they even changed the rules so that he could be inducted straight away after his tragic death. Who was taking supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua when he passed away? One of the greats of all times from Puerto Rico. But name the number
of hits he had he finished with in his career for number two? All right? Question number three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career strikeouts with an insane five thousand, seven hundred and fourteen. But can you name can you name two of the three pitchers that rank right behind Nolan Ryan? Two of the three pitchers a rank behind Nolan Ryan in most career strikeouts? Again, for question number three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career
strikeouts with a whopping five thousand, seven hundred and fourteen. Can you name two of the three pitchers that rank right behind him. All right. Question number four might be my favorite. I think you guys are going to nail this one, okay. Billy Ripkin's infamous baseball card had what written on the knob of his bat as he posed for his baseball card picture. Again to
number four. Billy Ripkin's infamous baseball card it's from the nineteen eighty nine Fleer baseball card set, had what written on the knob of his bat, and it was legible as he pose or his picture. I always heard it was a prank, but he came out and said he wrote this on his own bat because it was his like batting practice bat. Oh, and he didn't realize. Someone just was like, hey, can I take your picture? And I think he just forgot that he had it. And then he was
like, I can't believe fleared and didn't catch that. He's like, it's not my fault. Question number five. Question number five goes like this, give me the names of the following players based on their nicknames. I'm going to give you three nicknames. Give me the player, oh, mister October, the Splendid Splinter, and crime Dog. Give me those three players' names based on their nickname mister October is number one. Then you got the splendid
Splinter, and finally crime Dog. M all right. Question number six, name the two magical bats used in the baseball flick The Natural? Can you name both of the magical bats used by Roy Hobbs? Oh, you, son of a bitch? One of them breaks? Yeah, spoiler alert if you haven't see the movie yet. Can you name the two magical bats used in the baseball flick The Natural? All right? Question number seven? Ricky Henderson holds the record for stolen bases with an extraordinary one four hundred and six
career stolen bases. A player named Billy Hamilton from the late eighteen hundreds, not the Billy Hamilton we know, but the one from the eighteen hundreds is third on the list. Oh, can you name either the second or fourth place leader in career stolen bases one or the other on that list, Number two or number four? Yeah, Billy Hamilton that played, you know, one hundred and forty years ago. Yeah, I don't think they had the
slide step. So he had some over one hundred stolen bases in four or five years, and he only played for fourteen seasons, which was remarkable but kind of a different era. But can you name who's number two or who's number four on that list of career stolen base leaders major League baseball history? All right? Question number eight, give me two of the three team names from the Negro League teams that were based in Kansas City, Detroit or the
town Homestead. Kansas City, Detroit or Homestead. Can you give me two of the three three team nicknames in the Negro Leagues? I am wearing a Chicago American Giants hat. Look at that as tribute. All right, here's your final question, kind of your bonus question, right bonus. We're doing nine this time for the pop culture grab bag. We're talking about baseball,
our national pastime, nine times. Here's question number nine. Fenway Park has been around for one hundred and twelve years and is the oldest baseball park and the major is still in use to this day. Can you name three of the four ballparks that trail Fenway in age and rage from one hundred and ten to fifty eight years old? So can you name three of the four ballparks that are still in use for this season that trail only Fenway Park in age?
All Right, pencils down, let's go over our answers and the pop culture grab bag. Today we're talking about baseball. We had a bonus question, so there were nine questions in this round. Question Number one was the New York Yankees have twenty seven Holy Smoked World Series titles, but what team is next in line with eleven titles? Gabe start us off for number one. Well, they always like to tell you they have the best fans in
baseball. They play the game the right way, they're intolerable of the Saint Louis Cardinals. Is that is a great guess, and you're very true about all of that stuff. I agree. There's a Twitter account called Best Fans in the Game and it's all Cardinals fans tweeting races Weedy. Yeah, take that jewel. Great, there's many great knowledgeable fans. But yeah, yes, Eric, what did you put for now? I think Gabe's right,
but I said the Athletics, the Athletics great guests. Athletics and Cardinals either great guesses because they're all I think in the top three or four with the Red Sox. The correct answer is the Saint Lewis Cardinals with eleven. I believe the Athletics and Red Sox are maybe tied with nine each or something, so they're right up there. But yeah, Cardinals and Red Sox have added
to their you know, I had so many. Yeah, one a ton in Philadelphia more than the Phillies believe it or not, her oldest franchise. Yeah, they have like Philadelphia and then like the seventies Oakland and then the one in eighty nine, I think the Athletics. Yeah, great job,
Gabe pulling that out. Saint Louis Cardinals, big point for you. Number two, the great Roberto Clemente, who was the first Caribbean and first Latin American inducted into Cooperstown, finished with what round number of hits for his career that was cut short when he died on New Year's Eve in a plane crash. Eric, What did you put for number two? Three thousand, three thousand hits? Gabe? What did you put? That's exactly what I put.
It is quite extraordinary. He finished his career with three thousand hits the nose. It is that great barometer for Hall of Fame. But he was going to go to the Hall of Fame no matter what. But yeah, he finished his career incredibly with three thousand hits on the Dot. Question number three, Nolan Ryan holds the record for most career strikeouts with a whopping five, thy, seven and fourteen. Can you name two of the three pitchers
that rank right behind him? Gabe, Okay, I'm gonna go Cy Young just on volume, as a volume play Gibson, Cale Gibson, Say, Bob Gibson, Yeah, I'm in a deep draft. R your eighth pitcher in the fantasyatly with Kyle Gibson. You're going Bob Gibson and Cy Young. Eric, what did you put for number three? I was tempted to do so Young, but I'm going to go Roger Clemens and Don Sutton. Oh, those are great. I can't give it to either of you. Number
two because we're wrong, or to give you a jerk. These are all great guesses. But number two on the list. We forgot about the big unit. Randy Johnson is number two. Murderer, Yeah, murderer, for sure. You mentioned Roger Clemens. He is number three on the list and number four. Speaking of the Philadelphia Phillies, pitched a lot of years there, Steve Carlton, Oh yeah, Carlton, Yeah, Clems does he get one. I'm gonna give you. I'll give you, Yeah, I'll give
you a half point. I'll give you a half point for Roger Clemmons, I'm in. That's good. Takes up in a half point. But I do believe, Yeah, I believe Don Sutton and some of those other gents were in like the top ten for sure. Isn't bly Leven way up there too? Yes? Yeah, be home bly Levin is definitely up there. I've never heard that. Yeah, just one of Chris Berman's uh's nicknames. Levin Question number four, Billy Ripkins infamous baseball card, had what written on
the knob of his bat as he posed for his picture? Eric, do you remember what was written on that bat? Fuck face? No? But what's the what's the answer? Yeah, I mean to chet, Eric's gone with fuck face? Gig, what did you put? This is an underrated insult that I think needs to come back. More like I'm gonna go drive poorly right now just to get a chance to call someone fuck face, which is what I have, which was a referenced in eight Bit Christmas did you
watched, which joined our rotation this year? Yes, I have fuck face. That is a great holiday film Great Baseball Card that indeed had the words fuck and face written on the knob of his bat fuck face for number four. If it were just fuck or just face, it wouldn't be as epic. Fuck face is just tremendous, and that he's holding it so that you can read it very easily. Yep. He even claims that Fleer made it like clearer on purpose because he when he saw it, He's like, it
didn't look like that when I wrote it on there. I didn't do it legibly. He's like, I just kind of quickly did it. He's like, I think they did it to make it kind of be a thing, and they put it out there and created the whole hubbub so that people just bought, you know, all the corrected cards and all the original cards and all that stuff. Conspiracy theories. That's Billy's Billy's conspiracy theory. Question number five. Give me the names the following players based on their nicknames, Mister
October, the Splendid Splinter, and Crime Dog Gabe. What do you got? Okay, I'm gonna go. Mister October. First is Reggie Jackson. The Crime Dog is mister Fred McGriff I believe that Ted Williams is the splendid Splinter with a question mark at the end of it. Eric, what do you got, Yes, Reginald Martinez, Jackson, Theodore Samuel Williams, and oh my god, you're pushing for extra points. You I just saw the students that you are. He knows their confirmation names as well, if you
want those, that is beautiful. It is Reggie Jackson is mister October, Ted Williams, Teddy ball Game is the splendid Splinter, and Crime Dog is Fred McGriff who was always talked about Kenny Maine on Sports Center, always talked about those Fred McGriff fielding tapes that you could buy. Yeah. Remember Tommansky. Yeah, the tom Amnsky featuring Fred McGriff. Yeah, like the Tommansky tapes that you can learn baseball your lowest rated episode. It's my sage us
question number six. We're talking about the great film The Natural starring Robert Redford. Name to the two magical bats used in the baseball flick The Natural, Eric, what did you get for number six? I just had wonder Boy, Just wonder Boy, Gabe, what did you put? I have wonder Boy and Thunder blaster, little known, little known second bat. There's a second bat. I mean, I know it so close. It was called
finger blaster. Was the second bat that was not it? That is not true at all, but the one when he breaks his bat and the big guy and he goes, picked me out of winter Bobby and the bat boy goes and he runs into the dugout and he opens his He made his own. Roy Hobbs kind of helped him make it. And it was called Savoy Special. Savoy Special is the name. That's a deep cut. But I'm gonna give you a half point each forgetting wonder Boy. Thank you. It's
a tough question. Qushian. Number seven Ricky Henderson holds the record for stolen bases with an extraordinary fourteen hundred and six. A player named Billy Hamilton from the late eighteen hundreds his third on the list. What I wanted to know from you is, can you name either who's number two or number four on that list of stolen based leaders. Gabe, I'm gonna go with a known
racist, Ty Cobb, who also holds the record for most triples. Vince Coleman is my number two, Hi Cobb and Vince Colemanos are great guests, is Eric, What did you put? Number two is lou Brock. Number four is to Cob. Oh my gosh, you son of a gun.
And there's an amazing book that came out about Ty Cobb by a guy named Charles Learson a few years ago, and it actually paints a more complimentary picture of him that basically a lot of that stuff was played up, and he allowed it to be played up and allowed himself to be the bad guy. But if you google Ty Cobb you'll find some amazing pictures with him. He sought out Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Look at that. It's a fascinating read. It's called a terrible beauty. And he also, yeah, he
did a lot of terrible shit too. Yeah, also fascinating. Like early early stock buyer in Coca Cola, it was too cheap to pay his electric bills, so he lived in this like mansion in northern California that was in darkness because he got into fights. Yeah, yeah, very interesting book. So the correct answer Number two on the lists for stone bases is the great lou Brock. Lou Brock is number two and number four. I remember when Ricky passed him was the great Ty Cobbs. We have Lou Brock and Ty
Cobb. So I'll give one point to Gabe. I'm gonna give two to Eric forgetting because that's not easy stuff. Okay, question number eight, give me two of the three team names from the Negro League teams that played their ball in Kansas City, Detroit and or the town of Homestead, which is very near Pittsburgh. They played most of their games, I think at the
Polo Grounds. But can you give me those names? Eric? Yes, you have the Kansas City Monarchs, which had Satchel Page and Jackie Robinson, and the Homestead Grays, where perhaps the greatest catcher of all time played, Josh Gibson task Kids. Yeah, Gabe, what did you put? I have Monarchs and Grays. Monarchs and Grays. You are correct, it is
the Monarchs and Gray is the team from Detroit. There's a great thirty for thirty podcast about the Negro Leagues and it's the granddaughter of Turkey Sterns who played for the Detroit Stars. They were called the Detroit Stars for many many years in the Negro Leagues. So you have did you say Turkey Sterns one of the best nicknames. Yeah, Turkey Stern, Yeah, Monarchs, Stars and Grays. Are your answers for number eight? Well done? And then finally
question number nine, we're talking about old ballparks. Fenway Park is the oldest at one hundred and twelve years old, but can you name three of the four ballparks that trail Fenway in age that range from one hundred and ten years old to fifty eight years young Gabe, what did you put? First of all, I just want to say that you guys both look like you are keeping a tallly of how many Major league stadiums you've been to in your lives. Like you look like those guys, am I right? For sure?
I wish I've been to more. I need to, Like, I would love to take that sabbatical and just take like a month off my life and just go see all of them. I'd love to do that at some point in my life, probably by myself. I have a friend who he goes with his dad. They go on these tours and they like, they're like, you get to go to these six stadiums and whatnot. Okay, So I have a Dodger Stadium, which I believe is number two Wrigly Bush Stadium.
Yep, Wriggly Dodger and Bush Eric. What did you put Wriggly Field, Dodger Stadium, Oakland Alamedia Coliseum, and Angel Stadium. Correct answer at one hundred and ten is the friendly confines of Wriggly Field for the Chicago Cubs. Oh, I said two, yeah, you're right, correct. And then number two, but you're right, you have Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium has been around for many many moons. And then number three and four they're tied, and one of them is going to be soon to go by by.
It is, in fact the Big in Anaheim and the Oakland Alameda Colisseum, which will soon to be no more after this season. But as of right now, those are your four oldest. I think Kaufman Stadium from Kansas City, which is supposed to league going to be going bye bye, they're still one of the older stadiums. And then after that it's crazy because then it's like the Rogers Center in Toronto guaranteed rate for my crappy White Sox and Camden Yards are like in the top ten and you're like, wait a second,
those just came out. You're like noah, nope. And then you have like the Rangers and Braves that build a new stadium every five minutes. Right, great job, So Eric, a big point for that one.

We'll be able to discuss it and then throw some answers, and then Annie's going to reveal the answer plus some fun facts. We're all going to learn a little something something before we say our goodbye. So Annie at the ready, put up the final throw down question. Here it is. I'll read it to the
world a couple of times. What is the prison? Oh Greek mythology called what is the prison? In Greek mythology called anyone got a first knee jerk? Reaction. I have something in the hopper. I literally went. We did like trip of a lifetime family trip to Greece this summer. Oh my god, and my daughter is studying Greek mythology. I gave her my old that book of myths that do we all have it? I forget what it's called. Oh, and I'm I'm really not sure, Eric, do you
got anything? I don't know. I think Annie's getting ready to go on a Greek trip, so she's learning all about this stuff too. The thing that popped into my head is the minotaur being in a labyrinth on your feet or whatever. So like, I don't know if labyrinth is considered a prison, that's more of just elaborate it's amaze. But Alisia is like a kind of this place in the underworld where it was kind of like a medium place
in Limbo, the Allegian fields. Yes, yeah, that's all I can kind of think of is just like, yeah, a labyrinth, we have Alisia or Elysium. Anybody got any last gasps? The clink they called it the clink they did, that's where it came for everything comes from, or the Big House. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, who scow that could be fun. Annie, put us out of our misery reveal. So we're going to learn about this Greek prison. Oh, here we go.
I have heard of this. It's called Tartarus, Oh tar tar Us, Tartarus, let's learn about it. It is a deep abyss used as a dungeon of torment fun. It was a prison for monsters, defeated gods, but also the souls of the most wicked mortals. Greeks believed the world was egg shaped, and Tartarus was the same distance from Hades as Earth is to the heavens, and the gates to Tartarus were bronze and placed there by Poseidon. Tartarus, I'll never forget. That's the place where they send all the
bad people. Yeah, I'll remember it. Do you guys do do you guys do little things to help you remember things? Because I'll say that cows go to Tartarus and because of beef, Tartar there and it's never gone, It's never gone. I have it. I have it forever now. And I say to you, I'll think of getting my teeth cleaned in prison, because I have a harder build up. So it's harder getting built up on plaque and stuff on my seat, you know the prison, which is pretty
good. Gents. That was one for the books. It was a pleasure to hang out for a couple hours and then hang with you guys, and thanks so much for giving us one of the best games ever.
