Nora Zehetner vs. Allison Miller

Welcome to You Should Know Better with Mike C. Nelson, the guy who won't shut up about winning three times on Jeopardy.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to you Should Know Better, the trivia podcast that tests your knowledge and a little bit of your patience. Our goal here is to celebrate the theme of continuing education. We should always be learning and always be on the prowl to know better. Now we will meet our stellar guests and hear all about what splendid causes they're playing for, and shortly crown one of them the smartest person in the world for a one week.

Oh?

Good?

Yeah, unsure, Jackie.

Do you know this?

I wouldn't feel good either.

I'm just going to really weird answers.

And that's okay sometimes that Garners points here on the show if you come up with something that's hilarious or terrible or fantastic in any way, you get points. All right, Are we ready for question two? Yes, question mark?

All right.

Question two goes like this, Saopaolo, Brazil is located closest to what major line of latitude? And this is multiple choice. Is it the Tropic of Cancer, the equator, or the Tropic of Capricorn. The big city of Sao Paulo, Brazil is located very close to what major line of latitude? Is it the Tropic of Cancer, the Equator or the Tropic of Capricorn. For question number two, I.

Did tell you I'm specifically bad at geography. I did tell you that on the questionnaire.

I did tell you that I think this might be the only one. So I think I'm.

Zero for two, and I don't like you right now, and I now know why I put off doing this for so long.

I don't feel any better, so wete me. The same score is still.

Let's see if we can get on the trolley with question number three. Question number three Back in two thousand and two, what Artists burst onto the music scene with her debut album come Away with Me and the hit single Don't Know Why.

A story about this one, but I can't tell it because.

Yeah, we'll tell it when we do the answer. So again, to repeat question number three for everybody. Back in two thousand and two, artists burst onto the music scene with her debut album come Away with Me and the hit single Don't Know Why? All right? Question number four of eight in your General Knowledge round, Where in the human body would you find the humorous bone? Where in the body would you find your humorous bone? For question number four? Okay,

I don't know why you liked this question by.

I think you've heard of this question number five becoming popular in the United States and Europe in the nineteen sixties and early seventies. What hip length tailored coat for men or women with a mandarin collar was named for the Prime Minister of India? And they didn't really call it a coat as much as they would call it a blank jacket. A blank jacket for number five fill in the blank, named after the Prime Minister of India.

I'm drawing a picture of this as if that is somehow going to help you.

I will give you a point if you draw this coat.

I'll be really impressed if and A will insist to get points for drawing this accurately.

Yeah, even if it's kind of close, I'll give you a point.

And Google's giving me a lot of different answers, so really drawing could really ooh, as long as it's close to.

One of these, right, all right, we're down to these three Question six of eight in your general knowledge round. Who wrote the short stories The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, and the Mask of the Red Death. He also wrote The Telltale Heart.

Oh Jesus, oh yeah, gould have led with that.

That's too easy. I want you to like poop a little bit and then be like, Okay, I got it again. For question number six, who wrote the short stories The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum and the Mask of the Red Death. But it's probably most famously known for writing the short story The Telltale Heart for number six? All right, Question number seven. In the game of soccer, what two colored cards are given for misconducts on the pitch? One is a caution, and then there's another colored card

I should know this. I watched all of the Women's World Cup, and I think I know one of the colors.

Yeah, yeah, you can get partial credit for one of the colors. All right. Question number eight, your final question in this general knowledge round. Thank the Lord. It's the final question. That's what I'm feeling like from from Marke contestants question number eight, What New Zealand actress has appeared in the film Heavenly Creatures and the TV shows Two and Half Men and Yellowjackets? Last name will suffice again

Yeah, she's my mom's favorite actress, I think, and my daughter is an address and still was her daughter and Coyote Ugly.

She has a very incredible IMDb. When I look through all of her stuff, I'm like, she's had an unbelievable career already, like so many different things.

Now, Nora's questioning everything I am.

Don't go with your gut. You know it all right, pencils down. We will go over our answers in just one second, but it's time to me. Are tremendous guests from Big d Dallas, Texas. You know her from the television show The Right Stuff Marin and one of my favorite films of all time, Brick. She also starred in Blood for Dust, which you can stream right now and has a lions Gate release Boneyard that's coming out July fifth, so it might be out already when this episode airs.

You know the charities we are playing for today, you know the great contestants and all the works, all the things that are working on. But it's time to get down to brass tacks and go over our scores for the general Knowledge round seemed very challenging. Let's see how we do here, question number one of eight in the general now, drownd the Hallmark company owns the Hallmark Channel, of course, but

Strawberry shortcake?

Rawberry short has nothing.

To do with anything. I just liked strawberry shortkake. You had a doll and it smelled good.

This is Oh, the scent was heavenly?

Really was?

Those were fantastic, Like being like a dude, You're like, you're playing with matchbox cars and g I Joe. It's like strawberry shortcakes smell yeah.

We're all inhaling our dolls.

Yes, yeah, for sure, Allison. Did you agree with that or did you go your own way? For number one?

I had originally written down strawberry shortcake, but then I clued in on that one word and I went with rainbow bright.

Oh, rainbow right, great guess The correct answer is it's rainbow bright.

Wow.

Strawberry short cake was a good pull.

That's the one I thought someone would pick. So you both were on like exactly what I was putting down. I thought, like, strawberry shortcake, rainbow bright, like yeah, but Allison is off the schneid. It's one to nothing after one. But great guesses all around. Question number two, Sou Paulo, Brazil is located closest. Is what major line of latitude the Tropic of cancer, the equator or the tropic of Capricorn. Allison? What did you put for number two?

I just went with the first thing I heard because that felt good, the tropic of cancer.

Tropic of cancer. Nora, what did you put?

I was gonna go with the Tropic of cancer too, and then I don't know why.

I just went with equator, which makes no sense because it's probably South America because it's south of the equator.

But will well, Okay, so we have cancer and the equator. The correct answer is the tropic of Capracorn. Oh no, no, fil cancer, cancer is a little bit north of the equator. And then the one the south. It's like whatever, twenty three and a half degrees south latitude is Capricorn, and so Paulo, Brazil is south of the equator. Propic of Capricorn. Now we all know. But no harm, no fault. Question

Nora Jones?

Oh my god, that's the same name as you.

Went.

We went to college together.

A second, we used to eat lunch together because she was in the jazz hall, Bruce Jazz Hall, and I was in this program where you go two years early to college and for math and science for red and yet look, I don't know anything now. Apparently so because I dropped out after a year and that was probably problem. But I lunch and we would argue over whose name was spelled right. And because she has an H at the end of her Nora, clearly it doesn't need this H.

It's just silly.

But then I remember leaving school and I moved to La act and there was I just remember, I think it was like an l magazine and there was this tiny little blurb about Noura Jones and her tab and I was like, well, look at her.

Good for her. She got a little tiny blurb in this thing. And then she exploded and then everybody started spelling my name with an H.

Oh.

She ruined it. She ruined your name, the silent H. I think a lot of Sarah's can understand your plight. There's a lot of Sarah's with an H or without. Alison, what did you put for number three?

I also put Noura Jones, but I'm going to cross the H out on my paper a tribute.

Yeah, it is Norah Jones for number three. What school was that?

University of North Texas. They have a really good program.

That's so cool. I didn't know that you both into North Texas. All right, Question number four, where in the human body would you find the humorous bone? Allison?

I went in general with this one, and I said.

The arm, the arm, Nora, what did you put for number four?

Is it the arm?

The arm in the arm. It is your arm, it's your upper arm. It's this bone right here between your elbow and your shoulder. Is your humorous That's why you get the funny bone, the humorous bone. For number four. He nailed it two in a row. Watch out question number five. Maybe I liked this question, but I should throw it in the trash. Becoming popular in the United States and Europe in the nineteen sixties and the early seventies, what Hiplank tailored coat for men or women with a

It's a drawing.

I told you you're totally getting a point. That is totally what it looks like. We have a drawing folks at home, and it's terrific. Alison, what did you put?

Well, I wrote something, but then I also drew it. But mine is open and Norah's is closed.

Oh you're such a really nice but that's an added level of detail, I believe I gave it it well.

I made this sleeve far too short at the beginning, so I added on some fabric so that it would reach one's wrists.

I would wear that well.

Thanks.

This is a this is not a visual medium, but folks at home, I wish you could see these two drawings are fantastic.

Like I can see the Beatles on Magical Mystery Tour wearing these sorts of GM.

That is exactly right. I was gonna mention, like everyone was wearing these, like like talk show hosts, the Beatles, everyone in movies for a while. In a lot of movies, you're seeing this. It has a name, So now we know the name. You guys drew the pictures. You're gonna get the point. But it's a Neyhrew jacket, a Neyrew jacket named after the Prime Minister Nehru for India for number five. But those drawings will garner you a point a piece because you drew them very well.

I even I wrote the nier jacket.

I could not remember the name very close, very close, but yeah, it's h Juwar Halal Nehru is that Indian Prime minister question number six who wrote the short stories The Black Cat, the Pit, the Pendulum, The Mask of the Red Death, and the tell Tale Heart.

Yellow and red, yellow and red? Allison? What did you put?

I also put yellow and red.

Yellow and red yellow. You get a yellow card for a caution, you get to stay in the game. But if you get two yellow cards that will turn in two a red card, you're out of here, pal or ma'am. Yellow and red cards is what I was going for.

It is, in fact Melanie Lynsky wonderful actress. For UH question number eight, Jackie's been tabulating our scores. Jackie, we have a scoreboard update.

Scoreboard update. I'm very excited about this update because I think these first two questions let us all down a very dark path. I think we were all feeling kind of pretty doom and gloom. But I have an amazing score update with Alison in the lead with seven and Nora just behind a six.

Seven to six after one. I mean that's how we draw it up here. You should know better. It's a one point game. Good after one and again it usually people get three four points in the general knowledge round, so you guys getting seven and six.

I think general knowledge is probably one of the hardest one.

It is.

It's usually the hardest round in the lowest scores. So you guys are destroying podcast. You should feel very good about yourselves. So it's seven to six after one. Alison in the lead over Nora as we enter round two of four, and it is our pop culture grab.

Holy smokes, we still have a three point game after the lightning round. After three as we head into our fourth and final round between you two ladies, Round four, the Double Duty. That is the Theodore Double Duty Radcliffe round. We call it the Double Duty because points are doubled and there are nine questions instead of eight, so there are eighteen very important points that are up for grabs today. In the Double Duty, we're going to do a category

Question number two our Shakespeare question. What Shakespeare play features the characters Prospero, Miranda, Ariel, and Caliban on a remote island Allison.

Little Mermaid? No, the tempest is what I the tempest?

Nora? What did you put?

Yeah, it's probably the tempest, but that's not what I wrote.

Did you name?

Ah?

I feel like I've heard Prospero tossed around quite a bit.

So then that led me to believe perhaps it was just Romeo and Juliet, which is, you know, you know why not?

But I don't know about this remote island business. I don't think Romeo and Juliette was on a remote island.

So that really Uh, Romeo and Juliet did spend one spring break in South Padre though, in Texas. I think I think that's on the Wikipedia.

Yeah, when I with like the modern version, Yeah, you're spring breakers. There's like guns and Hawaiian shirts.

Yeah.

So we have Romeo and Juliet and we have the Tempest. The correct answer is the Tempest. For number who Allison's taken charge so far in the Double Duty, we both wrote it Downie. Question number three, written as a letter to his then teenage son Tana Hesse Coates is Between the World and Me was inspired by what author's nineteen sixty three novel, The Fire Next Time.

Michelle Zonner wrote her twenty twenty one memoir Crying in h Mart and as the singer guitarist for what musical project? Japanese? What Japanese? Fill in the blank? Nora, what did you put for number five? Japanese paper Plane? Of course I love that.

I just think, I just I mean, that's gonna be my band name.

That's an adorable name for a bin. You should do that.

I like their early stuff.

They kind of lost the plot.

Yeah, by their fourth.

Nineteen ninety nine album was good. Only knew one chord.

But yeah, they're touring. They're touring their twenty twenty fifth anniversary where they're just going to play that album in its entirety. Alison, what did you put for number five?

I think it's Japanese Breakfast.

We have Japanese paper Plane, we have Japanese Breakfast. The correct answer Michelle Zahner's band is Japanese Breakfast, Okay for number five, A Japanese Breakfast is the correct answer for number five. Question number six, The Importance of Being Ernest, a trivial comedy for serious people, was a play by what Great? Alison?

I believe it was Oscar wild Oscar Wilde, he is great.

That wrote that play the Importance of Being Earnest? Question number seven, Redheaded Pippi Longstocking hailes from what country? I need the country? For number seven? Nora, I didn't know, but I.

Decided Germany because I feel like they're all kind of pervy, and she just seems like a pervy.

Character and that.

Deserves a sploshe great deductive reason. There is that chapter all about Shiza. That's not true. There is no Shiza stuff in if be long Stacking, Alison, did you? But for number seven, I just.

Thought that the Swedes were really pervy, so I put Sweden.

Germany and almost a neighbor to Germany that we learned in the Lightning Round. It is Sweden. It is Sweden, written by a Swede, and it is Sweden. For numbers.

It was actually my first thought, and for some reason, I was just like, no, no, no, I'm just gonna go with Germany.

You always go with the pervs. Question number eight of nine. Who wrote the plays The Seagull Uncle Vanya, Three sisters and the Cherry or Allison.

It was Chekhov, Chekhov.

Nora, what did you put for number eight?

I didn't write that, but yeah, it's obviously.

Chekhov, Anton Chekhov. It wasn't Henrik Ibsen or August Strindberg.

It was check off. But that's not what I wrote. I wrote. I wrote rote target off. I don't know why I'm done.

You were going way too deep cut on this one. I yeah, that's it.

That's a film director.

Correct, It's okay, it's okay.

I just like I just like throwing names down. But it's obviously checkof.

It was one of those weird things where it was like, I know this, but I don't know it. I can't think of it. It's not coming to my head.

It didn't come to you in time. It's Anton Chekhov that wrote all those wonderful plays for number eight. And finally, question didn't she You didn't cheat, which is half the battle. We appreciate you and your honesty. Question number nine. I think you both nailed this. One of your favorites. Donna, who wrote the novels The Secret History, The Little Friend and The Goldfinch finished strong za Hetner, What did you put for number nine, I.

Put tart, and I'd like you to know it has two teas, and I'd like you to know I'd like an extra point for that.

I'll still lose, just like make it more respectable.

Yeah, Allison, what did.

You put white perte?

I also put tart, Donna tart, and Donna tart. That is correct. So Jackie's tabulating our scores. Just make it so that za Hetner loses by one. We'll tell We'll give you the.

It's actually really interesting because the extra tea and tart really bumped things up, and because of the way that this double duty bad cliff round shakes out, the final score ended up being Nora with thirty four and Alison with thirty six.

Wow, oh my gosh, unbelievable.

I'm just like so close, just like if I'm close.

You know, Jackie is a student of the New New Math. Isn't very good? Those scores are incredibly respectable, very very high scores from the both of you. Alison E. Miller, you are, in fact the smartest person in the world.

For one week, all of my neighbors can see me doing this, and I'm I'm smarter than all of you for right now.

Yep. The clock starts sticking, though. As soon as this game is over, you have one week to gloat. Great game, So let's talk about who's here again. Nora's a Hetner. You can follow her at Nora Zehetner Instagram. We're happy to make a donation in her name to Doctors Without Borders. Watch her on all these great shows, the right stuff, Maren, check out the movie Brick. She's also got a movie called Blood for Dust, which you can stream right now.

It's a final throwdown. I know you you spent time filling out a questionnaire so Mike could make you a beautiful game.

Cater to you. I did not look at that. This is not cater to you.

You know, it's just it's a fun fact that I most recently learned. And so it is sports. It's the NHL Finals for the Stanley Cup and I'm watching them. I have not watched any of the previous season of the season that I am from Miami, and the Panthers are in the finals and I'm having a blast. Uh, I'm having a great time.

Now.

They just they almost you have to get best out of seven, uh, first to four wins. They almost did. They got three, so it was looking like and it looked like they were going to sweep it and then and then they got crushed. Crushed, So they will continue to play. But the last time a NHL finals, so best as seven got swept. That means one team won four and the other team won zero. Happened? Has it happened in history? And if it has happened, how many years ago did it happen?

Okay, so has a team just been swept in the NHL finals, the Stanley Cup finals, because there's been lots of sweeps in the playoffs in hockey. But yeah, you're right, I don't think it happens where one team just gets skunked and the other teams just from railroad.

You guys are allowed to chit chat. This is not like competitive. You guys are just having a good time trying to figure this out.

So Nora's from Dallas.

Before I contribute nothing, I'd like everybody to know that I did very well in the Sunday Crossroad this morning.

This is truly a guessing game, and the guessing being like has this happened before? And then if it has, like how many years do you think?

Yeah, it it has happened before, because I think it happened to my favorite team, the Chicago Blackhawks. I've been a Blackhawks fan for many, many years, and they won three Stanley Cups, like in the span of like six years, from like twenty ten to twenty fifteen, they won three Cups. So I was watching playoffs left and right, and I think it has happened before. And the one I can remember that they got swept by was Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins and it was like nineteen ninety two

I pretended to date a Boston Bruins player on a television show one time. It's as close since I've gotten to hockey. Actually, I watch a one La Kings game because I got a free ticket.

Nora Dame I did the same.

Live hockey is the best. I think it is the best sport to watch live. And playoff hockey is outrageous, Like if you can ever go to a playoff game, even if you don't know shit about hockey, energy in a building during a playoff, you know, especially if you're Stanley Cup and it's the finals, Like it's just outrageous. So that's all. I think, that's all we got. I'd throw out that one because I know the black Hawks

I know very little about hockey as well, but this is I was like, wow, it's been a while. It's been twenty six years the last time that that happened, and it's still the run is still going.

It did not happen.

It was in nineteen ninety eight the Red Wings in the Capitals.

Oh the Caps got skunked. I don't even know.

I don't even know which one.

Oh, yeah, you're the.

Capitals because Detroit, Detroit had to run the Red Wings. They have a moniker called they're called hockey Town because they won three or four Cups in the span of like a decade, and like it was from like right around nineteen ninety three or four to like nineteen ninety eight, they won like four Cups or something that we got called hockey Town. And the Capital's just won their first one in a long time or ever with Alex Ovechkin just a couple of years ago.

So yeah, just add some fun stakes to next year.

Yeah, I love that, though, Like you don't want to get swept. You make it that far, you win three playoff series and then you get to the finals. And then you lose four games in a row and you're like, get out of here. You don't get anything you lose here. Yeah, awesome, that was a good question, Jackie. I like that we all learned a little something something before we set our goodbyes.

Thank you, Allison. You're so smart. I've always known you were so smart, and now it's official.

That's very well, it is official. But that's very generous and kind of you to say, because you're also very smart.
