The two girls and either Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. There's two girls? Can you can you name them?

I'll answer the second one.
Yeah, there's five. There's five kids that win golden tickets and get to explore. There's Augustus Group, the Chubster from Germany. There's Mike TV and Charlie Bucket, of course, but then there's two girls. Can you name those girls?

All right. Question number two of eight goes like this, in what decade did the federal prison of Alcatraz Island close? When did Alcatraz close? What decade of the twentieth century?

Now one of the most influential women in the world, as she prepares to run for president, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter
and sparks fly Canton. What do you got?
Okay, So, my original answer I thought was a great pitch for the movie. It was called fat Chance. Oh my god, that's I thought, that's a really good one. But then when you did the clue, I was like, Okay, maybe I don't know.
Last ditch, Fat chance or last ditch? Those are great? Iris, What did you come up with for number two?

Are great?
And then you said two words and then you were like, all the clues, So I went crap.

You deserve a half point each. The correct answer is long shot, but you guys were so because it is. It's a great film, but a very forgettable title. That's a tough one. So yeah, half
point for your ingenuity. That was really good. Question number three Zach, a man with down syndrome, run away from a residential nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a wrestler.

Tie ball game right now, but it's Iris's turn in the barrel. Iris. You could either choose James vanderbeek is crying or Homer Simpson slowly backing away into a hedge for your lightning round question.
The meme I probably reference the most of my life is the Homer Simpson ones.
Okay, we're gonna do former Simpson slowly backing away into a hedge. So the James Vanderbeek one was kind of a food question, but that'll just go into the hopper for another game. Okay, you're would we food? All right, here's your home your question.
Yeah.
Here, I'm gonna say it twice. Say go twenty seconds, say as many things as possible, Kent and jots some answers down because I'm gonna come to you with your rebuttal straight away. Here's your Homer Simpson, slowly backing away into a hedge lightning round. Question per fishing Booker, what are the top nine US states for fishing? Top nine US states for fishing total? Random question? Twenty seconds on the clock and go.

You know, I just did states.
I have to I have to ask a question. You definitely got Michigan and Florida. You got Florida right under the under the under the wire. Did you say Maine? Yes, Okay, that's what I thought. So I think you got those three. So your five second rebuttal? All right? You got three? You got Florida, Michigan, and Maine. All right, Kent, your five second rebuttal? Per fishing booker, what are the top nine US states for fishing? Five seconds on the clock and.

Some of these are like, really, I don't know, but this is take it up with fishing Booker online. That is number three was Delaware, which I'm like, I don't think of fishing of Delaware, but I guess maybe off the coast or whatever. It's great. Number five I don't think either of you said the South Carolina.
Oh that was my yes, but I thought it was too many syllables.
What why?
Number seven Louisiana Louisiana, Yeah, Verry and number eight I don't think anyone said. Did anyone say Hawaii? I don't think anyone says. I don't think about any But I guess you're, you know, catching huge marlins and salefish or something. Jackie, I think we're super close. Where are we at? After a very interesting lightning round?
Now there's a bit a bit more of a difference in the score. Uh, you guys are just two points away from each other. Now we stuff Irons in the lead with fourteen, but Kenton, you are close behind in the double digits with twelve.
Thank god, I still sigh God.
And this last round is we're double so anything can happen.
That's what we're talking about here. It is fourteen to twelve after three. As we enter round four, which is our Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe round Round four, the double Duty points are doubled, so there's only one question between you two as we head into this round. We've never done this, but this is a round all about food and drinks and music. These are all questions about songs or artists or albums that featured food or drinks. Very
interesting category. There's ten questions, so there's twenty points up for grabs. I forgot. I had so much fun putting this together. There are ten questions, so you have a lot of chances for lots of points in this round. Here is question number one, What Beyonce album title from twenty sixteen is good enough to drink?
For number one, Tenton's gonna win this so hard?
Can you repeat it?
What Beyonce album title from twenty sixteen is good enough to drink? Question number two? Question number two Andy Warhol painted what food item for a famous velvet? Underground and Nico album cover. Very famous album cover that Andy Warhol painted for the Velvet Underground and Nico album cover. But what food item is on that famous cover? It's a white background and then this food item? All right? Question
number three, Let's get more current. Smooth Like Butter Like a Criminal Undercover is the opening lyric for a hit for what international pop super group? For number three? Smooth Like Butter Like a Criminal Undercover is the opening lyric for a hit from what international pop supergroup? For number thrace, Oh, this is where it gets real quiet every time we play two point game, all right? Question number four, It's
kind of a two parter. Jimmy Buffett sang about this food item in paradise, while Rupert Holmes sang about this adult beverage and getting caught in the rain. Can you name either of those things? Jimmy Buffett sang about this food item in paradise, while Rupert Holmes sang about this adult beverage and getting caught in the rain? All right? Question Numero Sinko Tastes like strawberries on a summer evening is the opening lyric for what Harry styles banger.

Question number five tastes like strawberries on a summer evening is the opening lyric for what Harry styled banger. Moving right along question number six, The Zach Brown Band had a hit song with the lyrics, Oh, I like my blank fried a cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right and the radio. Wait what is that blank? Zach Brown Band had a hit song with the lyric I like my blank fried cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right and the radio.
Uh.
This is uncovering the genres of music.
That clearly I don't even know who Zach Brown is.
Wow, wow ken.
Is he like a Jack Johnson kind of character.
He's a huge, like I think, kind of mainstream country artist that like tons of people like he's like pop country superstar.
Is it the Zach Brown Band? Is that?
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, So you're telling me that, like, whatever it is, it has to.
Be this was a huge hit song. Like country is not my thing, but this is a huge hit song, and like I'm surprised that, like he's a huge artist that makes a bajillion dollars like playing so I should stop helping you.
Yeah, you should. I mean, we know it's got to be a Southern dish Matt's friends of I'm not gonna get it. There's no way, Okay.
All right. Question number seven is probably my favorite question of the game. In twenty twenty, Nathan Appadocca, also known as Dogface, became an Internet sensation by skateboarding while listening to Fleetwood Max Dreams and sipping what Beverage. In twenty twenty, this is just a few short years ago, Nathan Appadacca,
also known as Dogface, became an Internet sensation. He was just chilling on his skateboard on his like long skateboarding while listening to Fleetwood Max Dreams and sipping a bottle, like a huge bottle of what beverage. But the song, I think the song was important. It was like you had to have Fleetwood Max Dreams playing in whatever you were doing.
And he brought that, like that song came back into the zeitgeist.
It did it like it was. It got like a billion streams because he put it on there.
It's a good song, It's a great song. Thunderopens woun It's rain anyway.
No, I'm glad we finally got kent in to sing a little sex cells. This thing's gonna be huge. All Right, here we go. We're down to the final three questions. It could all come down to these three questions. Question number eight, Food is the title of the fifth studio album for this British American rapper who often sports a mask reminiscent of a Marvel super villain or a gladiator. It's a tough question, but if you know him, you've him. This rapper he wears like a metal face mask. But
his album was called Food. I have it. It's a fantastic album. It's his fifth studio albu for this British American rapt yes, who often sports a mask reminiscent of a Marble supervillain or a gladiator. All right, Question number nine of ten we have a supersized double duty Radcliffe round. We're talking about food and drinks and music. Question number nine drove my chevy to the levee, but the levee
was dry? Is from what nineteen seventy one anthem? What's the name of that song that you hear at karaoke too much? Those long karaoke jams? Uh drove my chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry. Is from what nineteen seventy one anthem? For number nine, question number ten, Kalise sang about what food item that brings all the boys to the yard. For question number ten, I.
Will attest it also brings girls to the yard.
It brings everybody. So again for number ten, Calise sang about what food item that brings all the boys to the yard.
Clearly we both need that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're not all peanut butter falcons.
Yeah, and I.
Like that you're gonna warm up the milkshake. Oh yeah, I want my milkshake served soupy.
Me tap it.
Groom, temp, body, temp baby.
All right, pencils down. Let's go over her answers to the double Duty Redcliffe ROWND. This was a category all about food and drinks and music. We have a two point game heading into this round. Let's get after it. Question one of ten what Beyonce album title from twenty sixteen is good enough to drink? Kenton? What did you get?
Lemonade?
Lemonade? Iris Lou? What did you put lemonade? We got lemonade and an ad two points a piece, starting out strong. Question number two Andy Warhol painted what food item for a famous velvet Underground and Nico album cover. Iris.
I'm gonna say Campbell's.
Soup, Campbell's soup. Great guest, Kenton, what did you put?
I said, Campbell's can of soup.
Campbell's canoff soup. He did paint that a lot. That's not the food item I was going for. It is a banana album cover. It's a white cover with a big black and yellow banana on the cover. For Questions that.
Might Haunt Me, those shirts were popular urban outfitters.
Oh yeah, you're you're a cool music snob if you wear in one of those. Question number three, smooth black butter like Criminal Unduck cover is the opening lyric for a hit from what international pop super group Kenton b TS b TS Iris, What did you put? Also BTS, BTS and BTS Holy Cow two points Apiece, two point Games Still after three Got seven to go? Question number four, Jimmy Buffett sang about this food item in Paradise, while Rupert Holmes sang about this adult beverage and getting caught
in the rain? Iris, what did you get?
Are they supposed to be the same? Answer?
No, they're different things. Oh, it made that abundantly clear.
But okay, well, my answers are margarita and pina clata.
Gotcha pina kalada? Kenton? What did you put?
Did you see? Or or and?
And so it's one is one food item, and then the other song is another food item.
I didn't even think about our drink. I just said drinks. But I guess it could be a margarita, but it's pina coladas. I got the second one. The first one I didn't even register. It was supposed to be different.
So you're each gonna get one point apiece because you got the pinya kalada song, like if you like pina coladas getting caught in the rain. The Jimmy Buffett song was Cheeseburger in Paradise. That's not at all.
I would have never gotten that.
It's okay, so you got Yeah, he did Margaritaville, but I did Cheeseburger and Paradise and the Pina colada song by Rupert Holmes. But you got one point a piece, all right. Question number five Tastes like Strawberries on a Summer Evening is the opening lyric for what Harry styles Banger Kenton.
Taste like straw babies on a summer eating. Uh, watermelon sugar?
Iris, what do you got watermelon sugar? Watermelon sugar? It is watermelon sugar? For number five, Love that song all right? Question number six. The Zach Brown Band had a hit song with the lyric I like my blank fried, a cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right and the radio up. Iris, what do you got?

It is chicken fried from the Zach Brown Band for number six, question number seven. And twenty twenty, Nathan Appadaca aka dog Face became an Internet sensation by skateboarding while listening to Fleetwood Max Dreams and sipping what Beverage Kenton.
What beverage. I don't know, pop soda, Topo Chico, I just said, I said Topo Chico or coke, but I don't think it's just some sort of carbonated thing.

The final throwdown.
And do our final throwdown questions. So, Jackie, what do you got for us today?
I got really entire to the sticktom now six. Last night, all right, I could not stop watching the Olympic feed of artistic gymnastics. If you haven't checked it out yet, it fucking blew my mind.
Awesome.
It starts with wild hula hoop shit and it's fucking awesome. So my question is what year was artistic gymnastics introduced to the Olympic Games? Oh?
So this is is this? Yeah? Is it the same or is it different than? Like they have the ball or the little.
They have the ball, they have the time.
They have ribbon dancers, they have stuff and the girls do it all. That's what was so crazy. You see somebody do a crazy ass like hula hoop routine and then next round it is ball and the same girl is doing the ball and you're like, how are you doing that too.
Yeah, yeah it is. It is Olympic circus Tree's.
Yeah, it starts tole' it's phenomenal.
Yeah.
I remember reading about this because they're not doing it this year, right they are to a yeah, oh they are, or maybe they didn't, they didn't do it for a while.
Perhaps this is a comeback.
Yeah, because they took it. Because I was reading about how they took it out for the last few or something, and then I have I.
Have literally no idea. You guys know how bad I am with years.
So but growing up it's like, I don't remember this always being a thing, like growing up in like seventies, eighties, maybe like maybe in the nineties they brought it out, because I do remember going like, ah, this is interesting and seeing like the ball and the yeah, the hoops and all that other stuff and being like, holy shit, this is crazy. It's like incredible dance juggling.
Yeah.
Well, I've literally never seen it, So all I can offer is that the Olympics happen every four years ago.
Did you ever see did you ever watch Liz Liz? You know Liz, but the Hillary Duff Show. We love Liz, The Hillary Duff Show. McGuire. She did it, Yes, she did.
Okay, So when was that show? Like two thousand? Yeah, I'm running So that's what I was thinking. I was thinking maybe like a nineteen ninety two in Barcelona or Atlanta? Was ninety six before that?
I think eighty?
South Korea? Do you want to go eighty eight?
I think I think it was in the eighties.
I think you do eighty eight. I'll do ninety two. Iris, what do you think?
I mean? Whatever I whatever I pick is going to be wrong. So let's go. Let's go eighty four. Let's ring back to Late Baby nineteen eighty four.
It is eighty four, eighty four. Yeah, let's do eighty four, eighty eight, ninety two work. We're hedging our bets where we have a nice twelve.
And you're nowhere near it. What if I told you the number eight was there in eighteen but the ninety four is eighteen ninety six.
Oh my god? Your original answer, Iris to the Battle movie?
What do you tell us about that? Like you?
It was introduced at the very first Olympic Games of the modern era in eighteen ninety three, right, and has since been included in every edition.
Oh really, that's it was.
Restricted to male competitors, which is wild because now there's no male like, they don't do men in this at all. It was restricted to male competitors for thirty two years until nineteen twenty eight in Amsterdam, when women were allowed to compete for the first time. And now, for whatever reason, men don't compete at all.
Well, because guys don't want to play with balls.
And they also don't want music apparently the Florentines where they're just.
Like, oh my god, it is so awkward.
Comm also the synchronized swimming or artistic swimming. Holy fucking shit.
Yeah, wow, guys, this was awesome. What a close game, Iris the champ. You are right there the whole time. I wish you nothing but the best of the rest of this year. And yeah, hope to see you in person reel soon.
