- 1:47Speaker 1: the show culminates with the Big Bang, a final round
- 1:51Speaker 1: with three questions whose answers are all clues to one
- 1:54Speaker 1: final question.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Round one. Question one the category he is literature, which
- 2:03Speaker 2: twenty seventeen young adult novel was author and G. Thomas's
- 2:09Speaker 2: debut and was later turned into a movie starring Amandola Stedenberg,
- 2:16Speaker 2: Common and Sabrina Carpenter. Question two. The category is language.
- 2:26Speaker 2: This question comes from Brian the Language Guy.

- 2:54Speaker 2: by the gods for stealing and giving humanity what Question four.
- 3:03Speaker 2: The category is currency. This question comes from Major Data.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Thank you Maja, which us coin features a pioneering woman's
- 3:14Speaker 2: suffrage leader on its obverse and an eagle landing on
- 3:19Speaker 2: the moon with Earth in the background on its reverse,
- 3:28Speaker 2: and now the answers to a round one. Question one,
- 3:31Speaker 2: which twenty seventeen young adult novel was author Angie Thomas's
- 3:36Speaker 2: debut novel, The Hate You Give. If you're wondering who
- 3:45Speaker 2: Amandola was. If that name wasn't familiar to you, you
- 3:48Speaker 2: probably have seen her. She played Rue in the Hunger

- 4:21Speaker 2: That was nice of him. Fire is good.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it upset the others a lot. But some people
- 4:30Speaker 1: will say it's technology or knowledge that he gave to humanity.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I would probably be inclined to accept those answers. But
- 4:40Speaker 1: it's in the form of fire, so that you know,
- 4:44Speaker 1: humanity could settle and tame the land and grow as
- 4:49Speaker 1: a civilization because they hadn't you know, figured out fire yet.
- 4:54Speaker 2: That's a big one.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So yeah, he was punished.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Yeah, poor Prometheus. Yes. Question four, which US coin features
- 5:04Speaker 2: a pioneering women's suffrage leader on its obverse and an
- 5:08Speaker 2: eagle landing on the mood like they do on its reverse.
- 5:14Speaker 2: It's the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. It was intended as
- 5:19Speaker 2: a replacement for the larger Eisenhower Dollar, but it had
- 5:22Speaker 2: to go through a lot of testing and shapes and
- 5:25Speaker 2: revisions because there was opposition from the vending machine industry,
- 5:30Speaker 2: a powerful lobby affecting coin legislation.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Always so yeah. Round two. Question five, the category is

- 18:10Speaker 1: Now the answers to the Big Bang. Question one? Which
- 18:12Speaker 1: country just won the twenty twenty six Men's FIFA World
- 18:15Speaker 1: Cup Spain.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Question two, which twenty seventeen animated film starring John Cena
- 18:27Speaker 2: and Kate McKinnon, follows a pacifist bull on his journey
- 18:31Speaker 2: to return home from a bullfighting ranch. Ferdinand.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Question three, whose expeditions were the first known European contact

- 18:56Speaker 2: US coin to bear the likeness of a foreign monarch,
- 19:02Speaker 2: known for unifying Spain and being patrons of Columbus with
- 19:06Speaker 2: her husband Ferdinand. It's Queen Isabella it's the eighteen ninety
- 19:15Speaker 2: three Isabella Quarter.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Now we did say first coin to have a monarch
- 19:23Speaker 1: on there. There is a second coin that has had
- 19:27Speaker 1: a monarch on it. The monarch is King Kamehamea of Hawaii.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Very cool. I want that coin.
- 19:36Speaker 1: It's much more recent than eighteen ninety three.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the Isabella Quarter probably is a special collector's.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Items now, yeah, totally.
- 19:46Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to get to go to Spain
- 19:48Speaker 2: when I was in high school and some of my
- 19:51Speaker 2: classmates went to a bullfight and I wanted to go,
- 19:56Speaker 2: but I didn't know. I just had seen like KR
- 20:00Speaker 2: tunes of bullfights and stuff, so I thought it was
- 20:03Speaker 2: just a man who dances around a bull and shows,
- 20:07Speaker 2: you know, the little flag flag to get it going.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And I was like, well, it seems like the chances
- 20:13Speaker 2: of seeing the man getting injured are low, so I
- 20:16Speaker 2: think it'd be cool to go and have that experience. Luckily,
- 20:19Speaker 2: my mother was like, they kill the bull, they stab it,
- 20:24Speaker 2: it dies. I don't want to see that at all.
- 20:29Speaker 2: So no, I have not seen a bullfight, and I
- 20:33Speaker 2: don't think I ever will. I think you could argue
- 20:37Speaker 2: that all bulls are pacifists that sounds like a cute movie. Anyway,
- 20:43Speaker 2: Sorry to be a bubber about bullfighting.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I think it's important to know. I mean here in
- 20:47Speaker 1: the States, I feel like we haven't heard that growing up.
- 20:52Speaker 1: When you see the cartoons and stuff, you just think, Oh,
- 20:55Speaker 1: they're just doing their thing. Yeah, maybe it's getting more known.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is important to keep that
- 21:05Speaker 1: in mind if you're thinking about wanting to see one,
- 21:08Speaker 1: since it's not, you know, generally taught.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Yes, I know what you're in for when you want
- 21:13Speaker 2: to go see something. I mean, I would have been
- 21:15Speaker 2: horrified if I had. I've been like, what am I watching?
- 21:18Speaker 2: Why am I seeing this?
- 21:20Speaker 1: And I think we just heard on an old QI
- 21:23Speaker 1: episode that the bulls don't go after the red color
- 21:26Speaker 1: of the cape that they wave. They go after the
- 21:30Speaker 1: movement of it. Yeah, is what they said, right, So
- 21:33Speaker 1: that's interesting.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Yeah. They also said that the Robin hates the color red.
- 21:38Speaker 2: And we had a funny experience at the beginning of
- 21:42Speaker 2: this summer where Robin's when at certain stages of their
- 21:48Speaker 2: life become extra crazy and extra territorial, and Robin decided
- 21:54Speaker 2: to pick a fight with my sister's car. It would
- 21:57Speaker 2: jump onto the side mirror, then jump onto the window,
- 22:01Speaker 2: look at the mirror, attack it, fall off, and repeat
- 22:06Speaker 2: it over and over again. Well, it actually it started
- 22:11Speaker 2: by attacking our window. So there was a little period
- 22:14Speaker 2: of time where every morning David and I were waking
- 22:18Speaker 2: up to the sound of our robin throwing itself at
- 22:23Speaker 2: our bedroom window and we're like, what is happening? And
- 22:28Speaker 2: we finally had to just tape up our window with
- 22:32Speaker 2: newspaper because we didn't want I mean, first of all,
- 22:35Speaker 2: it's not the best way to wake up, but second
- 22:37Speaker 2: of all, we didn't want the poor little thing to
- 22:39Speaker 2: hurt itself, so we had to tape it up and
- 22:43Speaker 2: leave it taped up. And finally it's like, all right,
- 22:46Speaker 2: I beat this window now to the next. And so yeah,
- 22:51Speaker 2: my sister had to do all sorts of things to
- 22:54Speaker 2: try to get it to stop attacking the car. Luckily,
- 22:58Speaker 2: it has a grown out of this phase in our
- 23:01Speaker 2: window in her car back to normal, but it was
- 23:04Speaker 2: it was kind of annoying, but it was also very
- 23:06Speaker 2: funny in the Robins Fine, he survived his agro phase.

- 24:13Speaker 2: to Apollo eleven. And just like the fire, it wasn't
- 24:16Speaker 2: a real eagle that landed on the moon. Could you
- 24:19Speaker 2: imagine if they had brought an eagle with them and
- 24:21Speaker 2: put it an eagle in a little astronaut suit just
- 24:24Speaker 2: to be extra patriotic.

- 24:32Speaker 1: Speaking of Prometheus, an eagle was the punishment. It would
