Welcome to You Should Know Better with Mike C.

Yelson, the guy who won't shut up about winning three times on Jeopardy.

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 wicked smart guests and Jeopardy champs and hear all about what worthy causes they are playing for and shortly crown one of them the smartest person in the world for one week.

How many do you have to name?

Three of the five?

No, I could name one confidently. Okay, listen, it's a classic that I've certainly seen, but it wasn't on repeat in my house.

It was yeah, it's a scosh. It's a scosh before your time too, Like it was like it is a classic in your world. Jents, how do you feel after one question?

I know the movie, but like you know, I'm I'm like blanking out right, like you know, it could be like a bunch of people that they're like popular in that I'm thinking like Paula's John Penn, like they all come to my head. But like I don't think I can pin it down. It's been a while since I watched it.

But excellent, Kevin, how you doing?

I have three names written on my paper. We will find out if they were in the Breakfast Club in a few minutes.

Fan fantastic. We'll moving right along to question number two of eight in the general Knowledge round. The tallest building in South America is the Grand Torre t O Rre, located in this West coast city of South America. Again, the tallest building in South America. Is the Grand Torre located in this West coast city. I'll give you the hint. That's also one of the capitals. It's a capital city as well. For question number two, all right, Question number three.

I can see the ads in my head, but I can't think exactly.

Narrow it down. Go with your gut.

I have an answer.

Okay, are you ready? For number four? Here we go, Question number four. Who became the first female to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence The Age of Innocence? Name the author that wrote the Age of Innocence and became the first female to win the Pulitzer Prize. For number four, last name will Suffice. I have not read this book. Yet yet. All right, question number five, we're doing a little human body question for number five, If you tear your ACL,

Oh, do you get points of you? Just know where it is?

Maybe a half point. I tore this about a decade ago. I tore mine and had to get it completely repaired and replaced with a cadaver thing. So I have a ghost ghost part in me.

Do they take the ACL of a cadaver or do they use like another party?

Yeah, they used a ligament from another part of the body. They used like an ankle ligament, I think in case, so there's like all ligaments. It's amazing. It's amazing that I say, if they would have done this, you know thirty years ago, I'd have eighteen scars that are this long and all crazy. But it's like I have like three dots on my knee. That's how they went in and did it. It's like crazy, Cora easey.

So do you want the expansion of the ACL or like.

Yeah, Like, what's the acronym stand for? It's the blank blank blank, the three words that go with ACL.

I got two of those words. We're gonna throw.

A throw a dart. Make a good guess, all right, question number six of eight in the General Knowledge Round. Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie ray Vaughan are just a few of the musicians to use this model of electric guitar from Fender. It was the Fender what very famous guitar model from Fender that all these greats used. I think, Buddy Holly, there's just there's like dozens and

He wasn't shure about two things, I'm gonna put one on them.

Yeah.

I think a lot of these show is one of these two.

Narrow it down. When I was playing, because I wrote these games kind of almost back to back, and when I was doing the game with Jared, he was in a room where there was like six guitars behind him, I was like, oh, he would know that one easy.

He got an entire classic rock category on the tournament champions, and I think that's what propelled him to beat Chris Panula was just like a Wheelhouse Double Jeopardy Classic Rock category, Jared Watson, it was perfect s.

Yeah, yep, that's that's the thing you dream about when you're going on Jeopardy, Like, can I at least have one of those where I'm like I know this, I know this stuff better than anyone? Yeah?

But then also then are you like I know this and then you're just like, oh no.

We talked about that recently, where you can you can get that category where you're like, oh man, I know geography and you get a geography Final Jeopardy or whatever, and you wager everything or most and it's some crazy thing that you've never heard of in your life, and it's just it's mortifying. It's so scary. That's like when you're making those wagers on Daily Devils in Final Jeopardy, where you're like, oh, category is this? You're like I got this? I like, oh no, they picked something I

It is?

I know, like Kevin, most of this, I have no idea.

I did go to college and what now no longer exists as a PAC twelve school, the University of Oregon. So I paid a lot of attention to two teams that were in that may may they rest in peace.

That what a weird? What a weird?

Yeah, my two alma maters, the University of Oregon and the University of Maryland, are now in the same conference and we'll be playing football on a random night soon's it's stupid.

Yeah. And when they like, we care about the student athletes in college and they're like, you're making people from Maryland go play a football game and Oregon and then like.

I wrote the word waddie w A D I. I have no idea what that means, but it's four letters, so I wrote it.

You guys came up with two four letter words. Well, yeah, the word I was going for is a gat A g H A T A gat. Have you ever heard of a gat?

The gad is a term for a mountain like so if I look for the term, so like the mountain's like you know on the western side of India cale, That's what.

I've seen that I've seen both of those terms. That's why I was saying it was probably a multiple term things. So when I saw it, I was like, that's interesting. So we no harm, no foul.

I've heard of the giat before, but not a gyat.

So yeah, the word I was going for is gat g h A T. But yeah, it is. You see it in mountain ranges along the coasts of India as well. Question number nine, can you name either of the Canadian provinces where the Bay of Fundy it lies between these two provinces? Can you name either one of those provinces, Kevin.

I wrote Newfoundland, Newfoundland.

Great guess, siesh, what did you put Nova Scotia Nova Scotia correct? Answer? It lies between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is where you would find the Bay of Fundy. That was an extremely difficult category. I would have not done well in this category, but you guys did very, very well. After all of this, Jackie, what is our final score?

That last round got crazy and Sish absolutely demolished pretty dang hard. So he is this smartest person in the world for one week with thirty seven points whoo and Kevin just behind with twenty seven. Little cute little matching.

We like that.

I'm gonna share my little bit Kevin, so we are going to be postmodest lessons for the week.

Fantastic.

He's smart and he's generous as well.

Look at you.

You know, just like high jumping people from the last Olympics, they decided to the gold medal.

That is like picking amazing.

They didn't decide and it happened that the American wanted to share, but the I think he was New Zealand he didn't want to share and he ended up winning. From this one Olympics. Yeah, I was like, I'll just share the gold medal, dang it, but you won, Siesh. But I will take whatever drags you will give me. Thank you.

The final throwdown.

This is where Jackie Gonzales de Ruthi comes up with a one off question where the three of us can discuss what's what and then hopefully we all learn a little something something before we're through. So Jackie lay it on us this.

Listen, this is what I got for today fresh on the mind, and whenever I do a fresh on the mind what not, whenever I they're always fresh on them. Sometimes they're good, and sometimes they get got like this and this might get answered very quickly, and that's okay, and that's okay. We like to win. We like to win, and if anyone doesn't know this, we like to learn. The question being what pop star has a cat named after the Gray's anatomy titular character?

I mean, I have a guess, what's on the mind?

I think that's yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I was thinking t TS just because of her cat post for support yesterday.

Is there a cat named Benjamin or something?

Is it McDreamy, is it McSteamy?

Is it?

So now you have to get now that you now that you've accurately and quickly guessed the pop star? Uh yeah, now you have to guess the cat's name.

Is it named after the character or the actor actress that plays the character titular character?

Tituly, So, what's the name of what's Gray's first name? What's her first name?

Yeah? I don't know, crap. I was thought her cat was named Ellen Pompeo.

That's a great cat name.

That would be a great cat name.

There are people screaming into their headphones right now.

I've watched all sixty seven seasons of this show, which I have not so like I only know, like, yeah, it's.
