Have you heard of this person?
Hmmm? I think they've heard of this person.
Yeah, Well, what's throwing me off is the birth year.
It's crazy. When I saw it, I was like, man, young everything, everybody's young. Everyone's so young.

With question number five, what US city has the following tourist attractions? The Molly Brown House Museum that's the unsinkable Molly Brown from the Titanic, The International Church of Cannabis. Holy shit, I want to go there. And lastly, Core's Field cores like the beer coors Field. What what US city has those three attractions amongst many others. But they have the Molly Brown House Museum, the International Church of Cannabis, and coors Field And then there were three. Here we go.
Question number umber six. What female screenwriter wrote the screenplays for Silkwood when Harry Met Sally and You've got male? Who is the famous screenwriter and director? But this person wrote, oh my gosh, all of these screenplays Silkwood, when Harry met Sally, sleepless in Seattle, You've got male? Last name will Suffice. And as a side note, though, the guy that I think did the You've Got mail he just passed away. I think like this week. Oh really, Yeah,
how old was he? I think he was in his seventies, so he wasn't super old, but I thought he was like maybe in his seventies.
Wow, he's kind of assumed he was older. Yeah, my mom like broke the news, didn't break the news, but she was like, I did you hear about Quincy poor Quincy Jones? But oh my god, I mean, how old is he ninety Okay.
Well yeah, yea not run.
Yeah, when someone's like, oh, Quincy Jones had a great run. Sounds like everything worked out in his favor.
And super successful, like you know, seem to achieve a lot.
Yeah, maybe the greatest legacies ever.
Because he was he was Pictures of him young, yeah, which I did not see before.
He was an incredible musician, like from like I have albums of him, like early Quincy Jones where he's like an incredible snack.
Yeah, oh, incredibly attracted.
Yes, I think he did alright with the ladies throughout his life.
You're sure he did.
All right. Question number seven we're talking about animals. We talked about animals before with Hello Kitty. But question number seven is, can you name any of the five slowest animals on the Earth. It could be in the ocean, they could be on land, but any just named one of the five what you think are the lowest animals on Earth? And it's kind of subjective and it's harder to pinpoint, but I scoured the internet and there was there was multiple ones that had like these five kind
of in the top five slowest animals. So you just need to name one, think of think of a real slow ass animal for question number seven, and you're probably gonna get it.
I'm pretty slow.
That's funny. I put her it had you as the seventh slowest.
Now I know I didn't quite make top five.
Yeah, you're too swift fleet of foot as it were. All Right, finally we have arrived final question in the general No Noldron question number eight. The first patents for both the paper clip and the stapler came in what century? I want to know what century that those patents for both the paper clip and the stapler came about. You just have to name the century. But it's kind of interesting. The patents were very real close to each other, which
is kind of remarkable. But the first patent for both the paper clip and the stapler came in what century? For question number eight?
And you would think that was it the same person who came up with them.
Or that they not.
It was not. It was not. It was different different people because I think when it came to even the stapler, like numerous people worked on it and perfected it so by the you know, later years, it was like what we see today, But it was like you know, I think when it first happened someone created the actual staple, and then I think it was a one at a timer, so it was like one and you have.
To put this, oh gosh.
So it's like it took I think decades for someone to be like, how do we get these staples together?
Hmm, that's so funny.
Yeah.
But then the person who invented the paper clip was like, staples too permanent.
You know I'm doing what if you make a mistake, Yeah, if you tried to proby one of these back out, it's bullshit. And then someone was like, staple remover. Yeah, exactly. They just kept making office supplies. All right, you two pencils down. We will go over your answers in just a few moments. But it's time to meet our terrific guests from New York City. He is the director of the series Monster Jam revd up Recaps and Lol Surprise What's inside. He's done a bunch of stuff as well.

Added to Jared's bio that he's also a major fan of the show.
Oh that's true. Let's let's let's let's yeah, let's talk about this we have a super fan on the show, like one of our super fans, Jackie became my co host. I am so if you, if you play your cards right, Jared, I might be involved in some way. Well I'm thrilled to be involved in this way because I feel like I've been listening subconsciously like a training, you know, every time I listen to the show. Yeah, uh and yeah,
I'm a big fan. If there were a category of trivia about the show, I could be a beghetting or every episode. Yes, huge superfan. You annoy people by telling them that they have to listen to this show. So we applaud you, We thank you for that. My friend, you could I think you could be Jackie's co host. And we just keep adding. Yeah, like more people on the zoom.
The net, the nested dolls of trivia hosting. You could keep score for our scorekeeper, Jackie.
I would love to help.
Ye, this is a great.
You could make Jared do all your final throatowns. Just be like you do it.
I'm just napping over here in the corner for phone.
Yeah, Jared, hes going to do it.
Yeah. I love fractions. I love it. Oh my god, this is gonna be This is gonna work out perfectly, all right, So we have super fans all over. Natalie hates the show. Let's go over.
Hate it with a passion.
No, Jared really has been training for this, and so I just want to just throw this out to the anyone listening, like I will be toasted in this competition. I know he keeps telling me, But here's the deal. I tend to have a brain that, like it doesn't really absorb.
Anything, you know.
So I'm like, I'm a really nice lady, but that's about it.
But there are certain blind spots to my for sure, to like what I know that I think you would kick.
My ass in.
Okay, Well so anyway, if those come up, I'm happy to be here. It's an honor to be nominated.
Yeah, let's find out, shall we? All right? General knowledge? We had eight questions in the round. Question number one right in your wheelhouse, though, Hello Kitty is not a cat after all. Twenty fourteen, Sanrio confirmed that Hello Kitty is actually a what Jared, what did you put for number one? I said she's a little girl. She said little human girl. A little human girl. Natalie, what did you put?
She is a little girl?
Correct answer. She's a little human girl named Kitty White. Kitty White is her name, but it's not a cat at all. It's a little girl. Crazy even lying to us Sanrio this whole Do you think that.
All of them are just little humans? Done? Like? Is Coroapi a little boy? And put Chuckle's a little boy?
And I think they they've ignored that logic.
What's that one there?
But Hello Kitty has a cat?
Yeah?
And I think that is charm charm charm kitty or something.
Huh.
I don't know.
Do you know where Hello Kitty is from?
Japan?
No? When I was researching this, it was it was something interesting where it's like, oh, she's born in London, that's where from. She's from London, England. And I was like, this all doesn't make sense, but I learned a bunch in doing research for the show. But Kitty White is a little girl from London. Yeah, all right, all right? Question number two? What part of the eye controls the amount of light that enters? There's the eye, Natalie, the iris,
the iris? Great guess, Jared, what did you put? I also have iris? The iris? The answer I was going for is the pupil. It's your pupil. That actually, you know when you dilate your pupils or.
Pupils get really small, and it's the iris and the camera and that's why, Yes, that's what I thought it.
That's why the pupils inside your iris. But the pupil is what I was going for for controlling the amount of light. That is the eye. I'm learning, Yes, we're all learning some Jackie could even if you want to look that up to be like did I screw that up? Since they both put it, I get nervous where I'm like, did I screw up that answer?
Oh? Look it up.
Sure, you're the best at least it's even. Yeah, yes, it's you either get it right, you get it wrong. It's all good. Question number three, this Oscar and Grammy winning singer songwriter Poser was born.
Oh my god. The iris or the colored part of your eye, controls the amount of light passing through. According to Standford Children's Health dot com dot org.
Is that rednable?
Can you look up what iris does?
And then according to Nationaleyinstitute dot gov, the iris controls how much light? Now, now what I'm just gonna write? What do people do? What do people do?
What? Do pupil?
What do people do for I?
Because I would think that the iris controls the size of the pupil.
This is so interesting. The pupil lets light into your eye as the muscle of your iris changes its shape, so the pupil is just what it is, and then the iris does controlling it.
I love this. I learned something during my own game. You're both getting the point. That answer deserves a huzzah.
Wow.
I love it. I love it.
We thank the Lord you. You double guessed yourself.
I'm glad I did because I just felt I was like even when I was doing you, I thought so too. The wow, I'm glad we did it.
The one that made me go and double check. That's what spoiled the round for me.
I love it. You got two for two?
Who this is intent.
Spoken with gas? Question number three. This Oscar and Grammy winning singer, songwriter and composer was born in nineteen ninety seven with the name Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson. That goes by what three letter acronym? Jared, Well, this is what I'm not very sure about. So I went with dua, as in lipa wohdua. A great guest Natalie, what did you put?
Okay? So I wrote down three different ones. I know I can't.
Pick your favorite.
Three letter acronym.
Take the one that you think is an acronym.
Am I A.
Ooh great, I guess I don't think. So you have dua lipa dua and we have am I A. It stands for having everything revealed. It's her. Oh, I didn't know it stood for anything, but it stands for having everything revealed, which just happened on our show with the I question and this question.
You know, it makes sense. We wouldn't get that because Jared and I are not very cool.
To me, that's like, that is one we would miss.
Well, I'm surprised. I know I would get that wrong. That was one of the blind spots I met was contemporary.
Poppy contemporary. I think there's a certain age of your life where it's harder and harder to know what the kids are really into. Per se for stretches of time where I feel that way. I'm like, yeah, I'm good up until like two thousand and something. Then there's huge stretches. I'm like, I was not listening to the radio or whatnot? Doing there all?
Right?
Question number four. What streamer has the original TV shows Doctor Death based on a true story and Poker Face, Nat Peacock, Peacock Jared, what did you put? I said, Peacock, Peacock and Peacock. You would be correct. It is Peacock. That is that streamer that has all those original shows. Question number five. What US city has the following tourist attractions The Molly Brown House Museum, the International Church of Cannabis, and coors Field. Jared? I said Colorado. I was looking
for a US city. Oh dang, We'll go to Natalie first. What did you put.
Boston?
Boston great guests. Well, I was definitely closer, but.
I would I would say Denver, but I'm I'm a purist, and I feel like I didn't get that right.
Wow, he's such a stickler. I will I will get I will give him that. Yeah, it was, it was. It was Denver. I was going for Denver Colorado. So no harm, no fun, nothing's so hard. Such a purist, Okay. Question number six, Let's see if it comes to anyone late in the game. What female screenwriter wrote the screenplay for Silkwood When Harry met Sally and you've got male Natalie, what is her name?
Nora Efron?
Jared? What did you put? I also put Norah Efron. It did come to you in the nick of time. It is Norah Efron, I.
Wrote, yeah, and I couldn't think of I kept thinking Norah Jones, and I'm like, no, I Norah Jones.
Don't know why I didn't. Question number seven, can you name any of the five slowest animals on this earth? Jared? What was your guess? A tortoise? A tortoise, great guest, Natalie, what did you put?
A sloth?
A sloth? So we have a tortoise and a sloth. Here are the slowest animals on the earth. You have a banana slug number five, number four, a giant tortoise, yes, number three, a starfish. Oh, number two, a garden snail. They're pretty fucking slow.
Snap. I was gonna say snail.
And lastly, but not leastly, number one a three toad slot. You both nailed it, nailed it.
I really didn't see that coming. I thought I was out.
Tortoise and sloth nailed it nice, all right. Question number eight. The first patents for both the paper clip and the stapler came in what century Natalie, eighteenth just a massive guess. Eighteenth century, good guess, Jared, what did you put? I feel like that is a good guess. I went with nineteenth the nineteenth century. They were both patented around in and around the years of the eighteen sixties, so it
is the nineteenth century. So Jared gets the point. Yeah, it's like eighteen sixty six and eighteen sixty seven that both of those things were patented, which is kind of nuts, like a year, year or two apart. All right, that was a hell of a first round, Jackie. Yes, what is our score? After one was?
I was locked in, so I do know the score, and I have to say it's tight. You guys were tied until that last freaking question. We have Jared with the self proclaimed I'm gonna say pro because the other words just to give me to stry be pro with six points, and we have Natalie, the self proclaimed nice lady that nothing really sticks with five points, so we can't say that nothing sticks. Natalie, You're more than a nice lady, Thank you. You know.
I do want to say, though, when I wrote eighteen, I.
Really was seeing the eighteen hundreds and I always mess up, but like it's like one up or whatever.
It took me about. It took me about thirty five years to learn learn that trick too. When people say it, I'm like, what that mean? It's the one? I like, fourteenth means the thirteen hundreds. Yeah, damn it.
I know.
Anyway, I always secretly just remind myself that I know I was growing up in the twentieth century, but it was the nineteen hundred, So I always start there and then count back, basically just make sure I'm not making a mistake.
So weird, but you were right there. It's six to five after one. That's how we draw it up here. You should know better than bads. We enter around two, which is our pop culture grab Bag.
Round two pop culture grab Bag.
Today in the grab bag, we got a TV round in store for you, and more specifically, it's a TV round all about the shows from HBO and or Max. Those these are all questions about HBO or Max TV programs. There are eight questions in the round. Here's question number one. Who plays the title role of Oswald Cobb in the Penguin that just came out? Bonus, can you tell me who plays the female badass in that first season? Sophia Falcone.
Can you name either of those actors number one, who plays the title role of oz Cob in the Penguin. For a bonus point, can you tell me who plays the female badass Sofia al Cone? I just binged it over the last couple of weeks. Very fun show, all right? Question number two, can you give me the character names for either Kristin Davis or Kim Katrol on Sex and
the City their character names? Can you give me either the character names for Kristen Davis or Kim Katroll on that HBO series Sex and the City For question number two, I'm such a fill in the blank.
Well, Jared's a really big fan of your podcast, but he's also massive Sex and the City fans.
I knew it. I knew it. He was always rooting for mister Big though. What an a hole that's been off was traumatizing. It was men are trash, all right? Question number three, what's the phrase that John Oliver uses on last week Tonight and go from one story to the next. He always uses it, this little catch phrase. It's a three word phrase on last week tonight. What's the phrase that John Oliver uses on last week tonight to go from one story to the next. It is
a three word phrase. All right, here we go. Question number four in the pop culture grabbag we're talking about HBO or Max shows. Number four goes like this, Doctor Eli, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin all share the last name that is also part of the title of this comedy series. Again for question number four, Doctor Eli, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin all share the last name that is also part of the title of this more recent comedy series. For question number four, great show, great show, and number four.
It's got me thinking, I'm trying to picture all the thumbnails in the menu.
Yep. When when you're spending half deciding on what the hell you're gonna what you're gonna watch this night? Yeah, it's the Hanvens, it's.
The all right.
Question number five, can you name any of the three drag queens that were featured in the first three seasons the great HBO series We're Here. There was three incredible drag queens that were on the first three seasons of that wonderful show We're Here on HBO. Can you name any one those drag queens that were on twenty plus episodes of that show. For number five. I was late to the game on this show, and then once I watched one episode, I was like, well, I know what I'm binging for.
Yes, I heard really great things. We should watch that next.
Yeah, it's really it's it's a really wonderful show. Thank you. Thanks.
And if I've heard because I haven't watched it, I wonder if I've just in the zeitgeist.
Yes, somewhere you.
Really don't watch HBO or Max very not since the rebrand.
It's it's a protest. You're a purist. You're an HBO purist as well. It's true. I will say one of them, at least one of them one RuPaul's drag race, I believe. Okay, all right, Question number six, I think you guys got what actress has appeared in the most episodes through the first two seasons of The White Lotus. There's been two distinct seasons, but there's one actress that has appeared in just about all the episodes. Can you name her? For
number six? That weird and wacky and wonderful show, The White Lotus. All right, number seven, we're in the penultimate question in the grab bag today. D los ink Or Dells Inc. D E. L Os Comma Inc. Is the corporation behind the robotic theme parks in what dystopian sci fi series it was on HBO? Or Max Delos Inc. Is the corporation behind the robotic theme parks and what dystopian sci fi series? For question number seven, not taking it easy on you, guys, No, this is not just
all the big ones. I'm going some deeper cuts here. Yeah, and finally question number eight of eight. What former co host of The Today Show? I think he hosted the Today Show for over fifteen years, hosted the acclaimed investigative series Real Sports for almost thirty years on HBO. It was Real Sports with this person that was also a Today Show co host for over fifteen years. Real Sports with this person for number eight thirty years. Yeah, I think they were on the air for almost I think
it was like twenty eight years. And it was wow. It was like the sixty minutes of Sports and it was actually really incredible, one of my favorite shows they've ever done. All Right, pencils down, let's go over our answers in round two, which is our pop culture grab back. Today, we're talking about TV and more specifically HBO or Max TV shows. Question number one is who plays the title role of oz or Oswald Cobb in the Penguin? And for a bonus, can you tell me who plays the
female badass Sophia Falcone? Natalie? What did you come up with for number one?
Well, I just want to start by saying, I didn't even know there was a Penguin TV.
Series on Bran Spankan new It's just been out for like a month or two. That's it.
Okay, off, so great start. So I really I have zero clue.
So I just decided that I would put Danny DeVito that maybe he was reprising his role.
Guess who's back again? Jared? Do you agree? Was it DeVito? I don't think so. I'm going a different direction. Although I love that original Penguin. I think it's Colin Farrell awesome, and I have a long shot guess uh because I think she was in the movie, the more recent movie. I said, Krabbits, Oh Zoe Krabit's great. Guess. One point is going to Jared because it is the great Colin Farrell who plays the penguin or Oswald Cobb, And it's kind of one of the only times in my life
where you kind of forget it's him. The makeup is so extraordinary and he's such a different character that, like I see it wasn't like sometimes when you're watching it, you're like, that's this Tom Hanks doing this? This is stupid. But I think they should win all the makeup awards because it's incredible. I agree.
I just watch a little featurette. I haven't seen the show, but I watched you on how they make it and designed it.
It's great. It's definitely binge worthy. It's it's it's really well made, and uh yeah, I think one of the highlights too, is this actress. Her name is Kristin Miliatti. Kristin Miliatti. It's very wonderful and I think this is gonna like blow her up even bigger because she's really good in it. All right, question numeroal dos? Can you give me the character names for either Kristin Davis or Kim Katrol On Sex and the City, Jared, what do you got? I'm pretty sure these were Charlotte and Samantha.
Charlotte and Samantha, Natalie. What did you.
Put Charlotte and Samantha.
I'm such a Charlotte. It is Charlotte and Samantha. You nailed it. Both of you nailed it. Doing well so far? Are all right? Question number three? What's the phrase John Oliver uses on last week Tonight to go from one story to the next.
Natalie, Yeah, really, I really didn't know this one, even.
Though we watch. We watched John Oliver and just didn't one of those ones that didn't stick. So I just said, onto the next.
On to the next. Love it, Jared, what did you put?
Well?
I swear I put two things. I hadn't circled one, but the first was onto the next.
Swear they're showing their work. They both, they are married to each other, they both lived, they lived together, onto the to the next. The thing he says when he's going from a story to story is and now this and now now. It's just a simple little thing, but he's been doing it for the many years and all the Emmy yes and no funny this.
I was like, I'm trying to think of a catchphrase, you know, I'm like, is it pip pip cheerio?
So the next time, you know what I mean, like like a more like a hello governor.
No harm, no file and now this Now you'll never be able to unsee it or unhear it. Question number four, Doctor Eli, Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin all share the last name that is also part of the title of this excellent more recent comedy series, Jared, what did you put? I didn't venture a guess on this, couldn't come up with anything. Nat, did you come up with anything?
No?
But I was just trying to think of a show that I had seen once with a last name in the title, and I came up with the Torkal Sins.
Oh, No, one ever knows about the Torkal Sins. Maybe they did a reboot on Matt and Matt ever knows about the Toorkal Sins. Do you remember that very intense opening song. It's funny, it was super long and kind of Christian. Yeah, it's very good, I mean totally Christian. It starts with God.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot that.
What network was that on? Do you remember?
I watched on Disney Channel, but I don't know whether it started somewhere else. The Toss Brittany Murphy started on the.
That's a deep cut. I love it. The answer I was going for. They all share the name Gemstone. They are the Righteous Gemstones. Oh my gosh, on that show. If you haven't seen it, yeah, it's another another fun show to put up there. But yeah, yep, that is the Righteous Gemstones I was going for for number four. Number five. Can you name any of the three drag queens that were featured in the first three seasons of We're Here? Natalie?
Ugh, This is so frustrating because I was literally talking with someone like two days ago about this show and about the lead actress in the show, and I can't think of her name, and so I just the first drag reformer that I can think of is Alexis Thunderfuck.
But I.
You might get a name just for mentioning Alexis Thunderful. That's wonderful, Jared, what did you put? I just went last names only and said Jones. Jones, always trying to go, always thinking of how he can eke out a point. We had the great Changela that would do that death drop, Shandela that would always do that drop that she would do those crazy You had Eureka m and then my favorite, Bob the drag Queen. Bob the drag Queen is the one that won RuPaul's drag race. But those were the
three Bob, the Drag Queen, Eureka, and Chandela. And then they have a group of like four new ones for their latest season. But great show. Check out, We're here yes. Question number six, actress has appeared in the most episodes through the first two seasons of The White Lotus Jared, Jennifer Coolidge, Jennifer Coolidge with a question mark, Natalie Lander, what did you put?
John Jedson?
You're gonna say, Jared Hillman Jared for of Jennifer Coolidge.
Jennifer Coolidge and Jennifer Coolidge. It is Jennifer Coolidge, Yeah, her and John Grease, the couple on the show.
