Do I get a point? Name? Do I get a point for that? For?

I think you both should get You both should get like five points for having I think this is the best matchup of names we've ever had. So Bath versus Opus, I think, like, yeah, Jackie, give them five points just to start. We've never done this before, but like Opus versus a Beth, you win already, so you know our great guests, you know what wonderful charities they're playing for. But now it's time to get back to the game, get down to brass tacks. Let's go over our answers

Okay, so the three that I wrote down are California, Texas, and New York.

California, Texas, and New York. Great guesses, Opus, what did you put?

I did new York, California, and Massachusetts.

Very great guesses. Here is the correct answer. We got California. Number two is Texas the lone star our state. Number three is Florida, and number four is Nueva York, New York. So Zabeth nailed it. Massachusetts is up there, but it's not in the top four. So California, Texas, Florida, and New York are those four states that have the most electoral votes.

I wrote down Florida and crossed it out, which is okay. I can accept my fate, but you.

Know, don't second guess yourself. Opus. Goddamn it, you're right.

I shouldn't. Oh should I? No? I shouldn't, Yes, I should No, I shouldn't.

But I think I think Opus is off the Schnei with this one from his Barnes and Noble job here. So number two is what Sue is famous for authoring the Alphabet series of detective novels. Opus start us off Grafton, Sue Grafton, Zabeth, What did you put?

I also wrote Grafton.

Boom and Double Boom. It's Sue that wrote all those detective novels. Everyone's cooking with gas. Here we go. Question number three? What Muppet's girlfriend is a chicken named Camilla? Zabeth?

The Great Opus. What did you put?

I also wrote down my fashion inspiration Gonzo.

It is true of people. You can't see it at home, but Opus is Gonzo personified, fucking fantastic. Natalie attired than Gonzo and Opus. Everyone gets the points. That's three in a row for Zabeth.

Starting off a strong, so strong, My confidence is through the roof. I'm I'm I'm just busting out of my brushes over here.

Question number four circa eighteen ninety Levi Straussen company started using what three digit number to designate their famous cupper riveted waste overalls opus. I said, four oh one, four oh one, Zabeth, what did you put?

I guessed five hundred with the like My guess is that the overalls were first, and then five oh one was the genes that came second after five hundred.

You guys are both right there, you're both right on it, But you should have just gone with the one. We all know it's five oh one. They started doing that all the way back in eighteen ninety. Yeah, they took overalls out and then started calling them jeans years later. But yeah, the copper riveted waste jeans is still five oh one from back in the day. So if you put five oh one at home, give yourself a point. Question number five, what actresses stand up for Maya Rudolph's

All?

Right?

I have four? I wrote, Kristen wig Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, and Wendy McClendon. Covey.

Oh, oh that's good.

Oh, this is owing, I got three? What did you get?

Three? Christian Brigg, Ellie Kemper, and Melissa McCarthy.

There it is between you two. You got all of them. So this is what we're gonna do. Let's give two points to Zabeth forgetting four, and we'll give one to Opus forgetting that's fair three out of the five. That was really well done. But yeah, Kristin Wig, Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper, Wendy McClendon, Covey and Rose Byrne are those bridesmaids? For number five of the all right? Question number six, a digitabulist collects what it was multiple choice teaspoons, thimbles,

I also guessed thimbles.

Oh my god. The correct answer, though, is thimbles. It's for your digits, a digitabulust, put those little things on your digits. It is thimbles. For number six, you guys are kicking all the ass. Question number seven, who are the two original members of Public Enemy that formed the group back on Long Island Back in nineteen eighty five, Long signed fellow member Professor griff And for a bonus point, who was their original DJ, Zabeth, what did you come up with?

Okay, I wrote down, I wrote down.

Chuck D and Doctor dre very great, Opus, what did you put wrong?

Coast? But you know, I said, I mean, I don't, I don't this is right at all. But I also said Chuck D. And then Flavor Flaves. Who is I don't know if it's original member, but I know that's the thing. And I have no idea who the real DJ was.

No DJ, it was one of my favorite mcs of all time. Chuck D and Flavor Flave, Chuck.

D, Oha slave, you got it.

We'll give Opus the full point there, U And the DJ for everyone playing at home with the sweet Fade and the sunglasses was Terminator X. Terminator h oh yes was their famous DJ for many years before him and Griff left the group. But yeah, it was Terminator X was their DJ. And finally, question number eight, what federal holiday falls on November eleventh of each year? Opus?

I said, D Day or like Victory Day? I know it's like eleven eleven. At eleven eleven, I lived in New York for a while and there was like those would ring on that day at eleven eleven on November eleven.

Yeah. For question number six again on The Simpsons, Apoo and Mangula had how many kids all at once from taking too many fertility drugs? I need a number for number six?

Hmmm, all right.

It came after the next generation and was around the same time as Deep Space nine, but it was called

Do you have to have the first and last name or is it okay to have the first name, like when you say titular.

This is lunacy, this is nuts.

We're here with Zabeth Russell. You can follow her on social media at that Zabeth. And at the Community Cookbook round Up. She's playing for Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. And we're here with Opus Mareski. You can follow him on social media at Hey it's Opus, and he's playing for the World Central Kitchen. Holy cow, we got a barn burner of a game. As we exit round two and get ready to enter round three, which is always the dreaded or infamous lightning round.

Round three, the lightning round.

Oh boy, so here we go Opus. You're in the leads, so Zabeth, you're gonna go first in the lightning round. You're trailing by one and today in the lightning round, you could choose from these three places to go and have some fun. You could choose from either the video arcade, the roller rink, or the drive in movie theater. Again, those headings have nothing to do with the question or the answer, just something to choose. So what's your poison?

You know what? I'm kind of feeling the roller.

Rink doing the roller rink fantastic. So I'm gonna say this question twice. I'm gonna say, go, I'm gonna hit the button. You're gonna have twenty seconds to say as many things as possible in those twenty seconds. Opus jots some answers down because I'm gonna come straight to you with your five second rebuttal. As soon as the Beths twenty seconds are up, here we go. Here is your roller rink lightning round question? Before Paris? Can you name

And go, oh my god, Okay, Salt Lake City was one, right, and did we have one in.

We had one in Rio.

We had we had god, this is wrong, Lillehammer, Norway, we had had.

Stop.

You got Rio. You got Rio. You named a couple Winter Olympics sites and lil Lhammer and Salt Lake City, but you got Rio. Pasionnaro, which was yeah, about eight years ago, was an I think I.

Got caught up in my mind that it was like in the last nine years. And now I'm like, oh, it's every It's not every. It's okay. Now I'm like, oh, I can think of a couple more. That's okay though.

So you got one. You got Rio. That was just a couple Olympics ago. Five second rebuttal Opus to see if you can steal some answers again before Paris, can you name the previous nine Summer Olympic host cities five seconds and go.

The only one I can definitely say is La, because I know that was like eighty four and then I've got.

Stop stop stop stop. La was just before it just missed. It was like it was the tenth one on this list. It wasn't in the top nine. So let's go over no harm, no fall. Let's go over the ones we didn't get to. The one that was a switch that actually happened in twenty twenty one because of the pandemic was in Toke Tokyo had one not too long ago. Then we had Rio, Then we had the London Games.

Six, yeah, would your jewel.

And then ninety two was Barthelona and eighty eight was Soul, South Korea. So yeah, we went La La which, yeah, we'll be back here in twenty twenty eight here. So that was your roller rank question. We got a point out of that one. But now Opus, it's your turn in the barrel. You could choose either the video I believe, the video arcade or the drive in movie theater for your life.

I mean, I know that they have nothing to do with the actual topics, but I'm going to go video arcade because that's closer to my heart.

Okay, the drive in movie theater was kind of a geography question that's just going to go into the hopper for a future game. Okay, is your video arcade lightning round question? Twenty seconds on the clock. I'm gonna say, go, give me as any as many answers as possible. Zabeth jots some answers down because I'm gonna come to you with your five second rebuttal straight away. Okay, here is your video arcade Lightning round question per in it dot com. What are the top nine pasta shapes the types of

Spaghetti, see Rigatoni, Flussili, other ones, uh, Linguini, angel hair um Ooh did I mention my father was a pasta maker? That seems like it might be something I should mention. Uh stop, you got three?

You got three? You got three? You got number one on the list spaghetti, of course, number six, Linguini and number eight Fusili. I think those of that you got. You maybe got another one, but I think those are the three. I definitely heard you guys, so Zabeth your chance to steal some answers? Five second rebuttal per in it dot com, what are the tops?

Wait? Can you before I say this, can you read the ones that he got again? So I'm make sure that I don't say that.

Yeah, you don't need to repeat spaghetti, linguini or fusili. Okay, okay, five second rebuttal and.

Go Macaroni, Zdravioli, Rotini, Penne, Bucatini.

Okay, I think you stole two. I think you had PNA and macaroni, right, you said those two. Yeah, so I think you stole those two. Penney was number two, Macaroni was number five. So let's go through the other ones. And if you guys said it and I just missed it, let me know. Number three was papardell Ones.

Yeah.

Number four is Arochiette. Number seven did anyone say this far Fall?

I didn't know.

Okay, I don't think anyone said it far Fall. And then number nine was Fetuccini. Fetuccini was also on the LISTI you did great in the video.

I can't believe no one said Ravioli the best one.

I wonder if it's a shape, it's the shape of my heart.

Uh So the lightning round, Holy shit, that was intense, Jackie. What where I think it's super close? Where do we stand after lightning Round?

It is still so close?

Zibeth After the Lightning round, you have eighteen points and opus you held onto the lead with nineteen so close.

Oh my god.

That means the last round is going to be a doozy.

Be a doozy. It is nineteen to eighteen, a one point game. As we head into our fourth and final.

Round, Round four, the Double Duty.

It is the Theodore Double Dooty Radcliffe round. Call it the double Duty because points are doubled and there are nine questions in this round. So if one of you gets just one question more than the other, holy cow, have another lead. Change Today in the Double Duty we have one of our famous theme rounds. So how the theme round works again is the first eight of nine questions are seemingly going to be general knowledge questions, and question nine is always what is the theme of this round?

Now?

How do you find the theme? Well, it's within your answers to those first eight questions. It could be part of a word, or a whole word, or the whole answer. The clues could be in there. So the more of the questions you get right in those first eight, the better chance of you getting the theme of this round. Let's see how we do here? Is question one of

All right?

Question number two a little music question. The psychedelic rock band that gave us the hit song Incense and Peppermints was named Strawberry. What They had a very psychedelic name and it was featured in a bunch of movies like Austin Powers and whatnot. But they have that very famous song Incense and Peppermints. Psychedelic rock band, they were called Strawberry What fill in that blank? For number two? And I think it's like the quintessential psychedelic rock band name

I'm mad right now because I know who this is.

But that one's going to come to you. I can feel it. That's going to be a light bulb. All right? Question number four, what is the Keystone State? What US state is known as the Keystone State? For number four, I have two.

Wildly different answers.

Sound state, Uh okay, and again if you don't get stuff now, if you figure out the theme, it might help you answer some of these. Hmm, all right. Question number five another TV question? What actor played rolland Shit in seventy nine episodes of Shit's Creek? Another character actor that's been in a bunch of stuff, but he played Roland Shit the best name ever seventy nine episodes of Shit's Creek. Name that funny man that played Roland Shit? For number five.

I mean, I definitely have like four of these five and I have no clue what their theme is though, not to brag, not to brag, but I'm kind of smart but also pretty dumb. Not to brag.

Question number six of nine in the Double Duty this is a theme round. For question number six, what Beatles title character was described this way in a cap She looked much older and the bag across her shoulder made her look a little like a military man. Ooh again for number six, what Neatle's title character was described this way in that song? In a cap She looked much older and the bag across her shoulder made her look a little like a military man.

Honestly, bummer for that lady?

Ye right, oh, oh oh, I think I have it, but I could be very wrong?

All right? Question number seven? Question number seven, what was the name of the manager for the Flight of the Concords? What was their manager's name? Played by Rhys Darby? What was the name of their manager for Flight of the contes?

Knew?

I was about to ask if I could just give the actors name?

What was his name? Britt and Jamaine present?

Are you looking for just a first name?

Or yes?

Okay?

Again for question number seven, what was the name the first name of the manager for Flight of the Concords played by Rhys Darby? Very funny character? What was his name on that show? All right, here we are your penultimate question in the theme round. This is your last kind of general knowledge. Question Question number eight, what song by Sonny and cher was the first single from their debut album look At Us Back in nineteen sixty five, and spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard

I am so see.

I feel like it doesn't help that I've clearly gotten a couple of these wrong. Yeah, I'm like, this is this theme is truly stumping me.

I'll give you a couple seconds to take a minute, take a minute think about this. Look at your answers.

M okay, resigning myself to not knowing the theme. Yeah, settling into it, just leaning back into it.

Question one of nine was what's the name of the dairy Queen? Staple made up of soft serve and stuff like Oreo cookies, M and M's or butterfinger mixed insa.

Beth, I put blizzard.

Ooh, a blizzard delicious, opis what did you put?

I also put the DQ blizzard.

DQ blizzard is in fact a blizzard. If you got a one with yogurt, it was called a breeze, but no one thinks of that. It's the blizzard. I don't even know if they have that anymore about. Yeah, they started it when we were there. It was just another machine we had to clean at night, which was a bumber like the yogurt machines, really finicky. But it is a blizzard for number one. Question number two, The psychedelic rock band that gave us the hit song in Sense

Alarm clock?

Alarm clock? Strawberry alarm clock? Zabeth? What did you put?

I also put alarm clock?

It is in fact strawberry alarm clock. For number two. That answer deserves a huzza. Incredible great work, Thank you, all right, Moving right along to question number three, what great character actor was in Deliverance Network Superman and Rudy.

Zabeth ned Baty, God, damn it.

We all knew that was coming. We all knew that was coming, Zabeth said.

Baby, that was just tickling the back of my brain for the past twenty minutes. And now it has been. It comes to fruition, and that is a bummer.

But it is in fact the great character actor ned Baty, who is not related to Warren Batty at all. It's ned Baty. For number three, big two points for the Zabeth question number four, what is the keystone state opus Pennsylvanio, Pennsylvania, keystone state, Sabeth, what did you put?

Oh?

I had for me It was between Connecticut and Utah, but I picked Utah Utah.

The correct answer is see it on all their highway signs, that little symbol it is Pennsylvania is the keystone state. It's on their license plate Keystone state, Pennsylvania.

You know what that's for?

Like keystone species? Like what is a keystone state?

Keystone is the thing that sits. It's made out of stone, and it's like it's the stone that's like on the top of like a doorway or an arch it's that big kind of funky stone that looks like that that fits right on top there. But I'm thinking it's probably from like quarries or them excavating stones out of there. Maybe they call it.

I think it was part of the original thirteen states. It was like the state that sort of like the idea of the keystone holds the arch together, and Pennsylvania was the one at the top that sort of held the rest of it together, being the south and the north is understanding of it.

Yes, that's what it says.

Well, according to what is keystone dot com.

One of my favorite sites that go there literally every day.

Yeah.

Wow, Connautico would be the Constitution state, and Utah would be the Beehive state.

The bee hive state. I hope they mean the hairdoo.

Wellstone state ja. It's geographical position further contributes to its keystone status. Nestled among the original thirteen colonies, it served as a central meeting point connecting the northern and southern states, as well as the eastern seaboard to expanding the western frontier.

Boom take that net, baby Hill.

Boom nailed it. Pennsylvania is your Keystone state for that reason. For number four. Question number five, who played Roland Shit in seventy nine episodes of Shit's Creek? Great character actor, Zabeth? What did you put?
